Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming learned the Heaven and Earth Together technique and joined his companions in arena matches before they followed Tang Sancai to receive a quest from Chen Youliang. After spotting an unusual carrier pigeon leaving the Beggar's Sect branch, Ye Weiming suspected the quest was more complicated than it appeared.

• Ye Weiming traded for Heaven and Earth Together, learned the mutual-destruction move, and teased Dao Mei about gaining a powerful technique.
• The group held arena challenges, where Cang Xingyu won three matches and Dao Mei ended with a score of negative one after Ye Weiming defeated her.
• Ye Weiming accepted ten gold from Dao Mei, and the group said goodbye to Youyou, Sanyue, and Fei Yu.
• The six team members followed Tang Sancai to the Beggar's Sect branch in Chengdu and received a letter of introduction from Chen Youliang for Master Yuanzhen.
• Ye Weiming noticed an unusual pigeon carrying a letter tube fly northwest from the branch and warned Tang Sancai that the quest was not simple.

Cang Xingyu explained the Three Lives Stone quest’s variable ratings, rewards, and opposing routes, while Ye Weiming tried to learn more about the source of Cang’s information. As the group boarded a carriage, Ye Weiming asked Yin Bukui for urgent information on three NPCs and sent him a Great Blunt Sword as payment.

• Cang Xingyu told the group that Tang Sancai’s six-person, cross-sect Three Lives Stone quest might be rated five or six stars, with greater difficulty and rewards than a three-star quest.
• Cang Xingyu explained that the quest could follow either Kutou Tuo’s or Master Yuanzhen’s route, with the final step requiring players to kill the other NPC.
• Ye Weiming questioned Cang Xingyu about the quest’s prerequisites and its previous seller, but Cang Xingyu avoided identifying the person and described Kutou Tuo as a level 35 swordsmanship boss.
• Tang Sancai said he had a walkthrough for Yuanzhen’s route and that Cang Xingyu had sold it to him.
• Ye Weiming sent Yin Bukui a Carrier Pigeon Message requesting urgent information on three NPCs and attached the Great Blunt Sword as a gesture of sincerity.

Ye Weiming and his five teammates accepted a seven-star mission in Dadu to find and kill the assassin who wounded Yuanzhen. After seeing that Cheng Kun had also sent a player to hunt Ye Weiming over the Primal Chaos Skill, the group had to weigh the two dangerous missions.

• The six found the injured Yuanzhen in a ruined temple in Dadu, where he explained that an assassin had attacked him and gave them clues and a scrap of the attacker’s clothing.
• While Yuanzhen rambled, Cang Xingyu told the team that the assassin was Kutou Tuo and that his hiding place was fixed, so they could go straight to him.
• The team received the mission Punish the Assassin, a seven-star task with a one-hour time limit and a reward of experience, cultivation points, and a martial art level increase.
• Dao Mei recalled that her six-star mission had required her to fight a level 30 BOSS while she was level 16, and Ye Weiming described facing Yu Canghai and Mei Chaofeng in his own six-star missions.
• Ye Weiming showed the team his five-star Resist the Chase mission, which let Cheng Kun’s player disciple track his real-time location and threatened to take his Primal Chaos Skill.

After learning that Yuanzhen was Cheng Kun and Chen Youliang was his disciple, Ye Weiming realized Cheng Kun had arranged an open trap around the quest to kill Kutou Tuo. Despite the danger, Ye Weiming chose to continue with his teammates, who regained their fighting spirit when he suggested the seven-star rating might account for the trap.

• Yin Bukui told Ye Weiming that Yuanzhen was Cheng Kun, Kutou Tuo was Fan Yao, and Chen Youliang was Cheng Kun's disciple.
• Ye Weiming warned his teammates that Cheng Kun might have informed the pursuer in advance and arranged an ambush around their quest.
• Tang Sancai proposed that Ye Weiming draw away the pursuer while the others fought Kutou Tuo, but Ye Weiming argued the pursuer could instead attack the BOSS group to draw him back.
• Ye Weiming rejected the plan to leave the group and asked Cang Xingyu to lead them to Kutou Tuo.
• Ye Weiming suggested the seven-star quest rating might account for Cheng Kun's trap, restoring the group's fighting spirit.

Ye Weiming’s group found pursuer Immortal Yunhua at Wujian Temple, where a burly man named Landscape saved him from Ye Weiming’s surprise attack. The group began attacking the two men from outside the temple, and Ye Weiming and Cang Xingyu targeted Landscape as the fight escalated.

• Ye Weiming’s group crossed Dadu without encountering pursuers and found Immortal Yunhua waiting inside Wujian Temple.
• Cang Xingyu identified Immortal Yunhua as a strong Wudang expert, and the group watched him pose and begin reciting a poem.
• Landscape kicked Immortal Yunhua out of the way of Ye Weiming’s attack and pointed out a hole in the wall that could have pierced his head.
• Ye Weiming ordered ranged attacks from outside the temple, and Tang Sancai, Xiao Qiao, and Cang Xingyu joined the assault while Niu Zhichun and Dao Mei prepared for close combat.
• Cang Xingyu fired an arrow at Landscape as Ye Weiming launched two Steel Bullets at his lower abdomen and brow.

Ye Weiming’s ambush on Landscape was thwarted when a green-clad woman joined him and used Blade and Sword Fusion to block the team’s attacks. With the enemies still holding the temple entrance and Kutou Tuo unaccounted for, Ye Weiming paused the assault to negotiate, then interrupted Immortal Yunhua’s introduction with another shot.

• Ye Weiming predicted Landscape would expose his chest while deflecting Cang Xingyu’s arrow and fired two Steel Bullets at him.
• A green-clad woman rescued Landscape, and the pair used Blade and Sword Fusion to destroy the incoming attacks and block Ye Weiming’s shots.
• Xiao Qiao clarified that the enemies were not using Twin Swords Fusion, while Ye Weiming warned his team that other ambushers and Kutou Tuo might still be inside.
• Ye Weiming stopped the team’s attacks and tried to exchange names with the enemies.
• Immortal Yunhua began reciting poetry, so Ye Weiming shot at his crotch and told him to speak plainly.

Ye Weiming’s team confronted Immortal Yunhua and his allies at a ruined temple while seeking Kutou Tuo. After discovering Kutou Tuo was a powerful, seriously injured boss, Ye Weiming tried to lure him outside so the team could split up the fight.

• Immortal Yunhua claimed he was Wudang Sect’s second-ranked expert, and Cang Xingyu challenged his claim.
• Ye Weiming learned from Dao Mei that Mountains and Rivers Meet’s Snow Mountain Sect swordsmanship was countered by Foodie Little Fairy’s Golden Crow Saber Technique.
• Dao Mei encountered her Blood Saber Sect junior, Mortal Commoner, and warned him he would lose experience and martial arts proficiency if he fought against her team.
• Ye Weiming threatened to expose Kutou Tuo as Fan Yao, prompting Kutou Tuo to reveal himself at the ruined temple.
• Ye Weiming’s team assessed Kutou Tuo’s level and planned to lure him out while the others defeated his player allies.
• Ye Weiming drew the concealed Golden Light Sword and insulted Kutou Tuo to provoke him into leaving the temple.

Ye Weiming used a taunt and a brief period of calculation to lure Kutou Tuo into striking range, then pierced his heart for massive damage. As his teammates charged into the ruined temple to battle the opposing players, Kutou Tuo trapped Ye Weiming’s sword with internal energy and counterattacked toward his heart.

• Ye Weiming taunted Kutou Tuo, who stopped at the temple gate because he could not leave the ruined temple.
• Ye Weiming’s teammates kept the opposing players occupied while he spent 1 minute and 39 seconds calculating his attack.
• Ye Weiming struck Kutou Tuo through the heart, dealing 24,545 damage.
• Dao Mei, Niu Zhichun, Cang Xingyu, Tang Sancai, and Xiao Qiao entered the temple and engaged the opposing players.
• Kutou Tuo used internal energy to restrain Ye Weiming’s sword and thrust his own sword toward Ye Weiming’s heart with Man-Ghost Path.

Ye Weiming used the active effect of “Tai Shan's Secret” to turn a dangerous exchange with Fan Yao into a series of devastating counterattacks, crippling both of the BOSS’s arms. Just as his advantage ended and he was flying backward, an unseen attacker immobilized him with One Yang Finger.

• Fan Yao stabbed Ye Weiming with Man-Ghost Path, but Ye Weiming trapped the sword in his body and countered with two powerful strikes of his own.
• Ye Weiming used Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act to reflect Fan Yao’s palm attack, damaging his arm and leaving him weakened.
• Ye Weiming hit Fan Yao’s right shoulder with a Steel Bullet, shattering the bone and crippling his second arm.
• Ye Weiming realized Tai Shan's Secret had expired and that he could not sustain his advantage against Fan Yao without activating it again.
• An unknown figure appeared behind the airborne Ye Weiming and immobilized him with the Dali Duan Clan’s One Yang Finger.

Ye Weiming survived a hidden attacker by using Heaven and Earth Together to stab through his own abdomen and kill the ambusher, leaving his health dangerously low. As his allies turned their attention to the remaining enemies, Immortal Yunhua broke through Cang Xingyu’s spear defense and froze him.

• A hidden enemy struck Ye Weiming’s acupoints and tried to use him as a shield against Xiao Qiao’s attack.
• Xiao Qiao’s interrupted Twin Swords Fusion left her stiffened, but Ye Weiming activated Heaven and Earth Together to break free of control.
• Ye Weiming stabbed through his own lower abdomen and pierced the ambusher’s kidney, killing the unnamed Dali Duan Clan player instantly.
• Niu Zhichun and Tang Sancai killed Fanfu Suzi, while Xiao Qiao and Niu Zhichun attacked Fan Yao and Ye Weiming withdrew to recover his health.
• Immortal Yunhua broke through Cang Xingyu’s spear defense with a finger strike, and Cang Xingyu was frozen.

Immortal Yunhua fled the temple after revealing a powerful finger technique, while Ye Weiming let him go to avoid disrupting Tang Sancai’s mission and waited for the right chance to kill him. The group defeated Kutou Tuo and brought him to the brink of death, where he asked them to hear him out.

• Immortal Yunhua escaped the hall, and Mountains and Rivers Meet and Foodie Little Fairy also fled while Ye Weiming told the others to focus on Kutou Tuo.
• Cang Xingyu broke free of the ice and wondered whether Immortal Yunhua’s finger technique came from Yuanzhen.
• Dao Mei questioned why Ye Weiming had let Immortal Yunhua escape, and Ye Weiming claimed he was weakened; Xiao Qiao stepped between them, but Dao Mei chose not to attack her teammate.
• Ye Weiming revealed he had been holding the Flying Flower Sword Token, then rejoined the fight as the group overwhelmed Kutou Tuo.
• After three minutes, Kutou Tuo was reduced to one drop of blood, and system protection let him ask the young heroes to listen to him.

After accepting Fan Yao’s quests, Ye Weiming proposed that the player who dealt a BOSS’s finishing blow should get first pick of one drop. Niu Zhichun unexpectedly killed Fan Yao, lost 500 Merit Points for betraying a righteous man, and claimed the agreed first pick.

• Fan Yao revealed that Cheng Kun was behind the chaos and that Ming Cult evidence could clear the sect’s name, then offered quests to kill Cheng Kun and deliver the letter to Kunlun.
• Ye Weiming waited for his health and mana to recover before accepting both quests, and the rest of the group followed.
• Fan Yao handed Tang Sancai the iron box containing the letter, and Ye Weiming proposed a loot rule granting the finishing attacker first choice of one BOSS drop.
• Niu Zhichun agreed to the proposal and struck down Fan Yao, completing the group’s quest to punish the assassin but losing 500 Merit Points.
• Ye Weiming explained that accepting Fan Yao’s quests had made killing him a betrayal, and Niu Zhichun demanded his agreed first pick from Fan Yao’s drops.

Ye Weiming and his companions divided Fan Yao’s loot, and Ye Weiming secretly gave Xiao Qiao a martial arts manual to reward her support. As they left Wujian Temple to turn in Tang Sancai’s quest, a mounted group ambushed them and shot at Tang Sancai.

• Ye Weiming teased Dao Mei about trying to set her up, then explained why Fan Yao had to die and why he had not wanted to lose Chivalry Points.
• Niu Zhichun claimed the Heavenly Solitary Jade Buddha Beads, while the group divided Fan Yao’s martial arts interpretations and the White Dragon Sword.
• The group gave Ye Weiming the extra Quanzhen Swordsmanship Interpretation, which he then traded to Xiao Qiao in appreciation of her protecting him.
• Ye Weiming put Fan Yao’s body in a coffin and gained several insights before urging Tang Sancai to turn in his quest and claim the Three Lives Stone.
• As the six companions left Wujian Temple, a leader and eight mounted archers ambushed them and ordered their arrows fired at Tang Sancai.

Eight archers ambushed Ye Weiming and his companions at Wujian Temple, forcing them inside and revealing that the attackers wanted Tang Sancai’s iron box. When Tang Sancai threw it to Ye Weiming, A San rushed in and seized it, giving the group a chance to fight him at close range.

• Ye Weiming and Dao Mei intercepted the eight arrows and helped the group retreat into Wujian Temple.
• Ye Weiming deduced that the attackers had come for the iron box because of the six-star letter-delivery quest.
• The enemy leader demanded that the group surrender the letter and hand over the box.
• Ye Weiming asked Tang Sancai to throw him the box, warning the team to prepare for an unexpected attack.
• A San darted into the temple, seized the iron box, and revealed himself as a level 65 expert from the Ruyang Prince’s Estate.
• Ye Weiming taunted A San and prepared to fight him inside the temple.

Ye Weiming, Xiao Qiao, and Dao Mei fought the level 65 boss A San while protecting the quest item. Just as A San prepared to cripple Ye Weiming, Ye Weiming flicked A San's vital point below the waist with Finger Flicking Divine Power.

• A San caught Ye Weiming's Golden Light Sword, but Xiao Qiao and Dao Mei attacked together and forced him to drop the iron box.
• A San wounded Xiao Qiao, threw Ye Weiming into a wall, and evaded Dao Mei's strike as she caught the iron box and tossed it to Tang Sancai.
• Dao Mei and Xiao Qiao restrained A San's hands long enough for Ye Weiming to attack, but A San leapt clear and kicked both women away.
• A San trapped Ye Weiming's sword arm and struck at his head while Tang Sancai's hidden weapons bounced off his protective qi.
• Ye Weiming released his sword and flicked A San's vital point below the waist, dealing 15376 damage.

Ye Weiming and his allies crippled A San during the fight in the ruined temple, but A San killed Tang Sancai before Ye Weiming could stop him. Tang Sancai explained that he had sacrificed himself to keep the iron box and the team’s six-star quest safe.

• Ye Weiming used Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act to blast A San away, then shattered his kneecap with Finger Flicking Divine Power to prevent his escape.
• Cang Xingyu, Tang Sancai, and Niu Zhichun struck A San as he flew toward them, crippling his legs and inflicting heavy damage.
• A San lunged for Tang Sancai while the iron box was in his hand, so Tang Sancai threw the box to Ye Weiming to protect the secret letter.
• A San grabbed Tang Sancai by the throat and killed him before Ye Weiming arrived.
• Ye Weiming crippled A San’s remaining limb and asked Tang Sancai why he had risked his life; Tang Sancai said he had wanted to protect the team’s quest rewards.

Ye Weiming and his companions defeated A San and eight archers, earning a wave of first-kill announcements before discussing how to compensate Tang Sancai for his sacrifice. They awarded Tang the Great Strength Vajra Finger manual, then prepared to continue the mission against Yuanzhen.

• Ye Weiming killed A San with a powerful palm strike while his companions defeated the eight archers, earning nine first kills and twenty-seven System Announcements.
• The team discussed compensating Tang Sancai, who had died without receiving the battle's experience, cultivation, or quest rewards.
• Dao Mei proposed sharing the compensation among everyone, and Cang Xingyu suggested giving Tang the most valuable drop before auctioning the rest.
• Ye Weiming revealed A San's four drops, including the Great Strength Vajra Finger manual and Black Jade Bone-Setting Paste.
• Tang Sancai hesitated over the manual because he planned to focus on hidden weapons and swordsmanship, but Cang Xingyu explained how the finger technique could strengthen his hidden weapons.
• Ye Weiming gave Tang the manual and told him to wait outside the ruined temple while the others continued on to fight Yuanzhen.

After defeating A San and his eight archers, Ye Weiming’s party reached There Is a Ruined Temple to claim their mission rewards from Yuanzhen. Ye Weiming saw through Yuanzhen’s attempt to provoke him into forfeiting the rewards, so he let his teammates claim theirs first while preparing for the coming fight.

• Ye Weiming took the Black Jade Bone-Setting Paste, and Cang Xingyu bought the merged Zhebie Divine Arrow manual for 1,000 gold.
• The party divided the loot, buried A San in a yellow birch coffin, and hurried to There Is a Ruined Temple with the mission letter.
• Ye Weiming handed Tang Sancai the Great Strength Vajra Finger manual before entering the temple to meet Yuanzhen.
• Yuanzhen refused to upgrade Ye Weiming’s Tai Shan's Secret or Primal Chaos Skill, and Ye Weiming realized Yuanzhen was trying to provoke the party into starting their fight and forfeiting their rewards.
• Ye Weiming advised his teammates to claim their rewards first, then sat on the Golden Silk Nanmu Grand Coffin prepared for Yuanzhen and read Interpretation of Finger Flicking Divine Power.

Ye Weiming read Fan Yao’s notes and used their insights to improve his martial arts while his teammates collected their rewards from Yuanzhen. He left the chapter with Dragon-Phoenix Dance at pseudo-Level 10 and newfound confidence in its defensive power.

• Yuanzhen instructed Niu Zhichun and Xiao Qiao as they each raised Quanzhen Swordsmanship to Level 7.
• Niu Zhichun told Ye Weiming that Blind Ke had given him Demon Subduing Staff Technique, claiming it had once wounded Xiao Yuanshan, and explained how Xiao Yuanshan had actually injured himself by practicing incorrectly.
• Ye Weiming read Fan Yao’s Interpretation of Finger Flicking Divine Power and gained 65,000 proficiency points.
• Ye Weiming read Fan Yao’s Swordsmanship Insights and gained 105,000 swordsmanship proficiency points.
• Ye Weiming used the proficiency on Dragon-Phoenix Dance, raising it to Level 9 and pseudo-Level 10, and judged that he could stand toe-to-toe with a Level 55 BOSS using it.

Ye Weiming negotiated with Yuanzhen to receive guidance on his Primal Chaos Skill while promising not to attack him. Afterward, Ye Weiming proposed a new way for the team to distribute the BOSS’s drops.

• Dao Mei upgraded her Nine Yin White Bone Claw, while Cang Xingyu chose to improve his Wudang Nine Yang Skill under Yuanzhen’s guidance.
• Ye Weiming gained proficiency in Yijin Duangu Bone Chapter by listening to Yuanzhen, then regretted missing chances to improve other skills.
• Yuanzhen offered to raise Ye Weiming’s Level 7 Primal Chaos Skill if Ye Weiming agreed not to pursue their quest against him.
• Ye Weiming accepted Yuanzhen’s terms and received guidance that raised Primal Chaos Skill to Level 8.
• Ye Weiming proposed that whoever engaged the monster first could choose one BOSS drop and forgo the rest of the rewards.
