• Luo Hong refined Exquisite Jade around spiritual materials into Spirit-Storage Jade and combined it with the Five-colored Feather to recreate the Five-Colored Spiritual Tide.

• The Spiritual Tide struck the slower cultivators, causing them to fall from the sky, then reached Qiu Wuji and Wen Ke.
• Wen Ke opened his Yellow Silk Umbrella and shielded himself and his two Junior Brothers from the Five-Colored Spiritual Tide.

Luo Hong used the Five-Colored Spiritual Tide to disable the gathered cultivators, but Qiu Wuji and the Long-Faced Demon Cultivator escaped inside a spatial artifact. Qiu Wuji then challenged Luo Hong for the Heavenly Heart Fruit and strengthened his Ancient Demonic Manifestation for their fight.

• The Five-Colored Spiritual Tide destroyed Wen Ke's Yellow Silk Umbrella and shattered the Ancient Demon statue, leaving the surrounding cultivators powerless and grounded.
• Luo Hong recalled the Five-colored Feather and prepared to flee, but Qiu Wuji and the Long-Faced Demon Cultivator emerged from the Zijin Incense Burner and disrupted his teleportation.

• Qiu Wuji armed his four-armed manifestation with four demonic artifacts and infused them with a Blood Cloud, greatly strengthening its aura.

• Qiu Wuji devoured demonic qi to strengthen himself while Luo Hong struggled to control his enormous fireball, and both hurled their transformed attacks at each other.
• The suns collided and merged, sending out devastating spiritual waves that injured the cultivators below and caused the Dark Domain to begin transporting everyone away a day early.
• Little Gold returned with the Long-Faced Demon Cultivator’s Storage Bag after killing him and swallowing his Nascent Soul.

After Qiu Wuji’s memories struck Luo Hong’s soul, he crashed onto the grassland and caused powerful tremors. Xu Jun persuaded Ying Lu to approach the disturbance with a rare medicinal gift, and the group set out to seek favor with the unknown immortal master.

• Luo Hong was teleported out of the Dark Domain as Qiu Wuji’s memories tormented his primordial spirit, and he fell to the grassland, punching the ground in agony.
• Sand warned Ying Lu that an earth dragon had stirred, and Ying Lu ordered the Canglu Tribe to relocate south and asked Immortal Master Xu to protect them.
• Xu Jun told Ying Lu the tremors came from a high-ranking immortal master’s Spirit Beasts mating and proposed offering the Phoenix Blood Ganoderma.
• Ying Lu agreed to risk the tribe’s tribute, summoned Sand with the jade box, and boarded Xu Jun’s flying boat to approach the disturbance.

• Luo Hong said the Golden Gate Jade Book and Sky-Breaking Spearhead had forced the Heavenly Demon Seed out of his primordial spirit, and he told Yuan Yao that a Great Freedom Heavenly Demon was comparable to a True Immortal.

Luo Hong hid with the migrating Canglu Tribe while recovering from injuries caused by the Seed of the Heavenly Demon, and Yuan Yao decided to return to the Netherworld after refining the Sea Suppressing Bead. At the meeting point, Lin Yinping learned that her clan had believed her party was doomed and began explaining how they had identified Luo Hong as the Iron Masked man.

• Luo Hong told Yuan Yao that the Seed of the Heavenly Demon was a dangerous demonic seed planted by a True Immortal, but reassured her that he might remove it as his cultivation rose.

• Lin Yinping learned that the clan had expected her party to be wiped out and heard that reports from a Southern Sky spy had led Great Immortal Master Xu and Madam Mu to suspect Luo Hong was the Iron Masked man.

The Tuwu leaders learned that Luo Hong was likely a Spirit World cultivator’s avatar and had advanced to Nascent Soul Mid-stage, making him too dangerous to attack. They decided to seek an alliance with him by trading the Heavenly Mystery Jade for his World Crystals.

• The Tuwu leaders discussed intelligence that Luo Hong had killed the Shadow-Net Sect Leader alone and could trigger a heavenly tribulation when fighting at full strength.
• Lin Yinping recognized that Luo Hong was likely an otherworldly cultivator’s avatar, and the leaders concluded he was the urgent threat to the Tuwu people.
• Jiang Cun revealed that Luo Hong had advanced to Nascent Soul Mid-stage after disappearing in the Dark Domain, causing Madam Mu to abandon her plan to attack him.
• Great Immortal Master Xu proposed trading the Heavenly Mystery Jade to Luo Hong for his World Crystals, and Lin Yinping initially refused because the treasure belonged to the Heavenly Lan Sacred Beast.
• Great Immortal Master Xu persuaded Lin Yinping that the trade would protect the Tuwu people, and she agreed to handle the negotiation with Luo Hong.

After recovering in the Canglu Tribe, Luo Hong prepared to return to the Southern Sky, but agreed to help when a dispute over pasture arose. The tribes arranged an Immortal Master contest, and Xu Jun faced a White Wolf Tribe fighter while Luo Hong watched.

• Luo Hong’s injuries stabilized, and he told Yuan Yao he planned to return to the Southern Sky with the Ancient Spiritual Medicine seedlings for Junior Brother Han.
• Yuan Yao wondered why the Tuwu Immortal Masters had not searched for them, but Luo Hong decided to leave after erasing the Canglu Tribe’s memories of him.

• Xu Jun entered the arena to fight the White Wolf Tribe’s challenger, while Luo Hong and Yuan Yao discussed the Flying Sword and Xu Jun’s strange behavior.

Luo Hong watched Xu Jun win two duels before Immortal Master Duan defeated him with a poisonous mist. Luo Hong then entered the arena and subdued Duan with three low-grade puppets, while the reason for Duan’s desperate hostility toward the Canglu Tribe remained unclear.

• Xu Jun defeated two Immortal Masters from the White Wolf Tribe, prompting Ao Yun to send Immortal Master Duan into the arena.
• Duan Ziqiu used iron beads to weigh down Xu Jun’s Flying Sword and poisoned him with a yellow-green mist, forcing Xu Jun to concede.
• Luo Hong accepted Ying Lu’s request to fight, and Yuan Yao noticed that Duan’s body was heavily poisoned and suspected a hidden reason for his actions.
• Duan Ziqiu attacked Luo Hong with his iron beads and poisonous mist, but Luo Hong summoned a Blue Turtle, a Vicious Tiger, and a Black Eagle to counter him.
• The Blue Turtle swallowed the poisonous mist, and the other two puppets blasted Duan Ziqiu down and pinned him with the Black Eagle’s talons.

After defeating the White Wolf Tribe’s Immortal Masters, Luo Hong stayed with the Canglu Tribe and uncovered Duan Ziqiu’s secret search for an Ancestral Treasure Vault. He concealed himself by the vault’s Space Gate as Duan began trying to open it, just as someone else arrived.

• Luo Hong defeated Duan Ziqiu, who conceded after the Black Eagle Puppet pinned him, and the White Wolf Tribe withdrew.
• Ying Lu thanked Luo Hong for defending the Canglu Tribe, and Luo Hong said he would return to recover his Magic Power.

• Duan Ziqiu used a Rune Stone and an incantation to begin opening the Space Gate as Luo Hong watched in concealment and sensed another arrival.

Luo Hong followed Duan Ziqiu into the Duan Family Treasure Vault and discovered a used Ghost-faced Silkworm cocoon that Silver Fairy linked to the Seed of the Heavenly Demon in his primordial spirit. The discovery left Luo Hong wondering whether the Duan and Chu families were both tied to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

• A Chu Family ancestor and his grandson Quan'er located the Duan Family Treasure Vault on the grassland and hurried toward it on a skylark.
• Luo Hong overheard them and planned to use the Dream Induction Technique to question the Core Formation ancestor about the Heavenly Demon Sect.
• Duan Ziqiu opened the vault’s Spatial Artifact with a Rune Stone, entered it, and searched the shelves for a Clear Warm Pill.
• Luo Hong followed Duan Ziqiu into the vault and found little of value among its Magic Artifacts and Spirit Stones.
• Silver Fairy recognized a hollow silk cocoon as a used Ghost-faced Silkworm cocoon and said it had likely carried Luo Hong’s Seed of the Heavenly Demon across the world barrier.
• Luo Hong wondered whether the Duan and Chu families were both subordinate families of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Luo Hong emerged from the Duan Family treasure vault as the Chu Family attacked Duan Ziqiu and threatened nearby tribespeople. After stopping them, he learned the Heavenly Demon Sect might be involved, and Chu Quan’s Communication Talisman unexpectedly floated toward him.

• Duan Ziqiu took a pill that restored his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Early-stage, then packed away treasures while ignoring the Ghost Face Silkworm Cocoon.
• Luo Hong examined the cocoon and found it impervious to his strength, flames, and frigid wind as Duan Ziqiu confronted Chu Quan outside the Light Gate.
• Chu Quan and his helpers attacked Duan Ziqiu, who tried to destroy the Rune Stone before Luo Hong appeared and revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation.
• Luo Hong threatened to kill the Chu Family after discovering they planned to silence nearby tribespeople, and he struck Duan Ziqiu down when he interrupted.

• Luo Hong used Heavenly Sha to incapacitate the cultivators, killed them, collected their primordial spirits, and destroyed their bodies.
• Luo Hong spared the Chu Family’s skylark, then discussed Ying Shan with Yuan Yao and placed an enchanted Rune Stone in a storage bag for her to find.
• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao left for Mulan Holy City to retrieve the One Thought Dao Transformation Art.
• The next morning, Ying Shan and Ying Lu investigated the scorch marks and found the storage bag containing the Rune Stone.
• The Rune Stone entered Ying Shan’s palm, and she heard an unknown voice say that the time had not yet come.

After returning from the Dark Domain, Luo Hong investigated the Seed of the Heavenly Demon and sought the Mulan Clan’s cultivation records before heading toward Yellow Maple Valley. He left with a plan to ask the Azure Domain Demon sealed in the Demon Feeding Tower what it knew about the seed.

• Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings worried that Luo Hong had disappeared, but he suddenly returned and explained that he had stayed in Tuwu territory to recover from minor injuries.
• Luo Hong took Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings aboard the Demon Dragon Boat and traveled toward Mulan Holy City while considering what he had learned about the Ghost Face Silkworm Cocoon and the Seed of the Heavenly Demon.
• Luo Hong resolved to cultivate an External Incarnation using a Split Spirit as a safeguard in case the seed corrupted his main primordial spirit.
• The Mulan Clan welcomed Luo Hong warmly, gave him cultivation insights on the One Thought Dao Transformation Art, and tried to win him over.
• Luo Hong left for Yellow Maple Valley and planned to visit its former site in the Beiliang Kingdom to check on his Senior Sister.
• Near the Bell Spirit Mountain Range, Yuan Yao suggested that the Azure Domain Demon sealed in the Demon Feeding Tower might know about the Seed of the Heavenly Demon.

Luo Hong returned to Yellow Maple Valley and killed two Nascent Soul cultivators who had plotted against Yu Ruoxi. After reuniting with her, he decided the only way to protect her was to move Hua Shen Peak back to Mist Mountain.

• Luo Hong discovered two concealed Nascent Soul cultivators near Yellow Maple Valley’s grand formation and attacked their hiding place with the Sea Suppressing Bead.
• The cultivators fled, so Luo Hong sent Little Gold after the male cultivator while Yuan Yao pursued the female; both were killed.
• Luo Hong met Yu Ruoxi at Hua Shen Peak and learned that refining the ice mountain would take at least another thirty years.
• Luo Hong realized his enemies might uncover that Zhuo Bufan was his assumed identity and target Yu Ruoxi more directly.
• After Yu Ruoxi and Yuan Yao spoke privately, Luo Hong concluded that he needed to move Hua Shen Peak back to Mist Mountain to protect Yu Ruoxi.

Luo Hong examined the treasures he had seized and discovered that the Seed of the Heavenly Demon let him command the Outer Realm Sky Demons inside the Heavenly Demon Banner. He found their spatial curse could open a gate beyond the realm and hurried to the Demon Feeding Tower, while Yu Ruoxi worried she remained a burden to him.

• Luo Hong reviewed the Heavenly Demon Banner, Vajra Ring, and Heavenly Azure Holy Cauldron, then decided the banner might help protect his senior sister.
• Luo Hong erased Qiu Wuji's spiritual sense imprint on the Heavenly Demon Banner and found its Outer Realm Sky Demons eager to obey because of his Seed of the Heavenly Demon.

• Luo Hong concluded the Space Gate could transport Hua Shen Peak and immediately flew toward the Demon Feeding Tower after sending a Sound Transmission Talisman.
• Yu Ruoxi told Yuan Yao she felt like a burden to Luo Hong, and Yuan Yao comforted her by saying he would find a way to free her.

Luo Hong returned to the Demon Feeding Tower and gathered its Outer Realm Sky Demons into the Heavenly Demon Banner, then negotiated with the weakened Azure Domain Demon. The Azure Domain Demon refused to serve him for three thousand years and planned to enter the Mortal World, feed on its inhabitants, and return to the outer realms.

• Luo Hong collected the countless Outer Realm Sky Demons around the Demon Feeding Tower into the Heavenly Demon Banner, raising it to Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure level.
• Luo Hong entered the space of Universe Inversion and found the Azure Domain Demon weakened by Realm Boundary Force and Universe Power.
• Luo Hong offered to save the Azure Domain Demon in exchange for three thousand years of service, but the Azure Domain Demon hesitated and refused because he needed to prepare for a demon tribulation.
• The Azure Domain Demon explained that Luo Hong, as a Demon Child protected by the Heavenly Dao, would not face demon tribulations unless he went to the outer realms.
• The Azure Domain Demon said he would seek a Spatial Node to return to the outer realms after entering the Mortal World, but first planned to replenish his power by feeding on its living beings.

Luo Hong forced Qing Feng to accept a Heavenly Demon Contract, promising to help him survive his future demon tribulation, then freed him from his confinement in the Universe Space. Qing Feng joined the Heavenly Demon Banner to command its demons, and Luo Hong left the Universe Space with the banner newly empowered.

• Luo Hong offered Qing Feng a chance to survive his demon tribulation in exchange for serving him, and Qing Feng agreed to a three-thousand-year Heavenly Demon Contract.
• Qing Feng created the contract, and Luo Hong sealed it with his Spiritual Sense Imprint.
• Luo Hong used his connection to the Universe Pearl to weaken the Realm Boundary Force, allowing Qing Feng to enter the Universe Space.
• Qing Feng warned Luo Hong that cultivating Universe Power could eventually cause it to go out of control, then took the form of a handsome male cultivator.
• Luo Hong ordered Qing Feng to remain in the Heavenly Demon Banner and help command the demons, and Qing Feng obeyed.
• The Heavenly Demon Banner's aura became nearly imperceptible after Qing Feng and more than ten thousand Outer Realm Sky Demons joined it, and Luo Hong left the Universe Space holding the banner.

Luo Hong returned to Hua Shen Peak and revealed that the Heavenly Demon Banner could move the mountain to Mist Mountain, freeing Yu Ruoxi from her isolation. As Qing Feng opened a Domain Gate, the Heavenly Dao reacted with dark clouds and signs of calamity, forcing Luo Hong to use the Heavenly Demon Shrouding the Sky Great Law.

• Luo Hong returned to Hua Shen Peak, where Yu Ruoxi teased Yuan Yao about her relationship with him.
• Luo Hong explained that he had refined the Heavenly Demon Banner to move Hua Shen Peak to Mist Mountain, and Yu Ruoxi deactivated the sect-protecting grand formation.

• The Heavenly Demon Banner's screeches unsettled Yu Ruoxi and Yuan Yao, while Luo Hong shielded them with his divine sense.
• Silver Fairy warned Luo Hong that opening the Gate to the Outer Realm could draw a lightning tribulation and Heavenly Sha.
• Qing Feng told Luo Hong to conceal the heavenly secrets, so Luo Hong cast the Heavenly Demon Shrouding the Sky Great Law.
