Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming traded a map to Jie Li for a promise to spare the fleeing civilians, then used the handover to test whether Jie Li could be harmed. The attack wounded Jie Li and cost him a leg, while Ye Weiming fought Bi Xuan with devastating techniques; Bi Xuan escaped with Jie Li and Die Luo Zhi as Ye Weiming’s final attack engulfed Turkic soldiers.

• Ye Weiming demanded that Jie Li spare the civilians fleeing the city in exchange for the map, and Jie Li agreed after laughing at the condition.
• Bi Xuan insisted Ke Dazhi deliver the map, and Ye Weiming concealed Little Dragon Spring inside the scroll before handing it over.
• Ye Weiming launched Flying Knives and the hidden dagger at Jie Li, but Bi Xuan deflected the knives and Ke Dazhi knocked the dagger aside; its sword wind still nicked Jie Li and proved he could be injured.
• Ye Weiming used an invisible sword to sever Jie Li’s right leg and wound his horse, then countered Bi Xuan’s Brilliant Sun with Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
• Bi Xuan evaded Ye Weiming’s palm strike, but Ye Weiming unleashed Jade and Stone Burn Together, forcing Bi Xuan to escape while Turkic soldiers and generals were caught in the attack.
• Ke Dazhi rescued Jie Li from the fleeing horse, and Bi Xuan retreated with Jie Li and Die Luo Zhi.

Ye Weiming and Youyou tried to keep the Golden Wolf Army inside the city while setting up a plan to destroy its forces. By noon, Bi Xuan cornered a badly wounded Ye Weiming, who revealed that the army’s soldiers had been falling unconscious from poison.

• Bi Xuan and Jie Li Khan realized Ye Weiming’s attacks could keep the Golden Wolf Army from moving freely, so Jie Li Khan ordered three forces to leave the city and pursue refugees.
• Ye Weiming and Youyou prepared a super weapon whose success depended on clear weather, and Ye Weiming used one hundred forecasts to assess the odds.
• The next morning, Ye Weiming and Youyou attacked the departing forces; Youyou was killed by Ke Dazhi, while Ye Weiming fought Bi Xuan and brought down another commander with Wolf Extinction Double Strike.
• Bi Xuan pursued Ye Weiming through the city, eventually abandoning plans to assemble more forces and ordering the troops to focus on trapping him.
• Golden Wolf Army troops surrounded the injured Ye Weiming in a tavern near noon, and he asked Bi Xuan whether he had heard that soldiers were collapsing from poison.

Ye Weiming revealed that the Golden Wolf Army had been poisoned and used the chaos to attack Bi Xuan and the Turkic forces. As Bi Xuan pressed his assault, Ye Weiming unleashed a devastating sword strike and charged toward another line of soldiers.

• Ye Weiming told Bi Xuan that the Golden Wolf Army was suffering from Poisoned Feathers Thousand Nights, and soldiers began collapsing around them.
• Ye Weiming explained that sunlight intensified the poison and that its victims needed an antidote within twelve hours, but he withheld where to find one.
• Ye Weiming unfurled his steel wings into flying daggers and attacked the Golden Wolf generals and elite soldiers before charging into their formation.
• Bi Xuan pursued Ye Weiming and attacked without regard for the soldiers caught in the crossfire, while Turkic generals recovered their sight and fired arrows at Ye Weiming.
• Ye Weiming feigned the start of Heavenly Demon Disintegration, forcing Bi Xuan to retreat, then swept his sword through the Golden Wolf Army and charged toward soldiers beyond the inn's ruins.

Ye Weiming died after fighting Bi Xuan and devastating the Golden Wolf Army, then reunited with Youyou and Shi Feixuan to learn that the trial continued beyond player deaths. Shi Feixuan awarded Ye Weiming and Youyou a perfect evaluation, though their firm support for the destruction of the invading army left her eager to dismiss them from the instance.

• Ye Weiming's attacks killed Turkic generals and soldiers, but Bi Xuan ambushed his resurrection point and killed him, triggering a death penalty.
• Ye Weiming resurrected beside Youyou and Shi Feixuan, restored his Primal Chaos Skill, and asked Shi Feixuan how the mission would be judged.
• Shi Feixuan explained that the trial measured players' actions and outcomes rather than whether they survived, and she gave Ye Weiming and Youyou a perfect evaluation.
• Shi Feixuan described how the poisoned Golden Wolf Army died, Jieli and Bi Xuan fled with a few survivors, and the weakened Turkic forces could no longer invade south for decades.
• Shi Feixuan questioned Ye Weiming about the deaths of the Turkic warriors, but Ye Weiming and Youyou stood by their choices, so Shi Feixuan issued their rewards and prepared to send them out.

After completing the He Clan Jade quest, Ye Weiming discovered that his reward permanently raised Blazing Sun Sacred Qi’s level bonus. He then met Tuoba Goudan, who led him to a Daoist temple where a paid lot draw transported him into a battle with a Level 100 Fallen Ghoul.

• Ye Weiming received a permanent level bonus to Blazing Sun Sacred Qi and realized it could raise the art beyond its normal level cap.
• Ye Weiming and Youyou left the quest instance, and Youyou went to claim her reward from Li Shimin after Ye Weiming invited her to meet the Twin Dragons later.
• Ye Weiming failed to reach the Se Kong Sword because an invisible Aura wall blocked him, and Tuoba Goudan warned him that Shi Feixuan guarded the weapon.
• Tuoba Goudan invited Ye Weiming to visit an abandoned Daoist temple, where he drew a lot that transformed into Golden Wound Medicine.
• After Ye Weiming paid ten taels to draw a lot, Tuoba Goudan vanished and a Level 100 Fallen Ghoul emerged and attacked him.

Ye Weiming defeated a Fallen Ghoul and learned that a mission to purify the abandoned royal Daoist temple required fusing ten Ghoul Blades and challenging a hidden boss. He joined Yun Mian, Liuyun, and Tuoba Goudan, then proposed that they hunt the remaining ghouls separately to save time.

• Ye Weiming killed the Level 100 Fallen Ghoul with his sword and Blazing Sun Sacred Qi, then discarded its Ghoul Blade as worthless.
• Tuoba Goudan explained that ten Ghoul Blades could be fused into a treasure-grade weapon and that the temple's hostile aura required a further purification mission.
• Yun Mian and Liuyun arrived, and Yun Mian explained the requirements for cleansing the temple and entering its final boss instance.
• Yun Mian invited Ye Weiming to join the eight-star Purify Royal Daoist Temple mission, and Ye Weiming agreed despite his evening appointment.
• Ye Weiming left the party and suggested that they draw lots separately to defeat the remaining Fallen Ghouls faster.

Ye Weiming and his companions merged ten Ghoul Blades into the Six Souls Fierce Blade and began purifying it in the Daoist temple. A portal revealed two powerful guardians, Yu Chi Yan Hong and Shan Xiaoxiao, and the chapter ended as Ye Weiming attacked Yu Chi Yan Hong while Yun Mian and Tuoba Goudan prepared to hold off Shan Xiaoxiao.

• Ye Weiming, Yun Mian, and Tuoba Goudan defeated ten Fallen Ghouls and gathered their Ghoul Blades.
• Ye Weiming allowed the ten blades to merge into the poisonous Six Souls Fierce Blade, and Liuyun began purifying it with a Vajra Pestle before the Three Pure Ones.
• Yun Mian and Tuoba Goudan entered a portal to confront the temple's final BOSS, and Ye Weiming followed because their party's average Daoist Arts level met the requirement.
• Yun Mian drew a lot that summoned an attack from Yu Chi Yan Hong, while the group discovered that Shan Xiaoxiao was guarding the temple alongside her.
• Ye Weiming launched Flying Knives at Yu Chi Yan Hong and told Yun Mian and Tuoba Goudan to hold off Shan Xiaoxiao.

Ye Weiming defeated Yu Chi Yan Hong and captured her as a pet after she surrendered, then learned that capturing the demons would help preserve the Vajra Pestle used to purify the Taoist temple. Shan Xiaoxiao offered to surrender too, and Yun Mian urged Ye Weiming to capture both sisters so the purification could proceed without destroying the artifact.

• Ye Weiming pierced Yu Chi Yan Hong's Starfire Sky with a concealed Flying Knife, severely wounding her and weakening her attributes.
• Ye Weiming severed Yu Chi Yan Hong's Achilles tendon and began to finish her off, but she begged for her life and offered to become his pet.
• Yu Chi Yan Hong explained her past as a maid to a female demon general, then completed the Pet Capture Bracelet's master-recognition ritual and became Ye Weiming's third pet.
• Ye Weiming worried that capturing Yu Chi Yan Hong might interfere with the mission, but Yun Mian said capturing the boss also counted toward clearing the demons from the Taoist temple.
• Shan Xiaoxiao offered to become Ye Weiming's pet and explained that capturing the sisters would spare the Vajra Pestle the baleful aura released if they died.
• Yun Mian urged Ye Weiming to capture both demons, promising that he and his companions would remember the favor.

Ye Weiming tamed Shan Xiaoxiao and Yu Chi Yan Hong as pets, then completed the Royal Daoist Temple purification mission with Yun Mian and Tuoba Goudan. The reward box gave him an incomplete Ghost Valley Swordsmanship inheritance manual, leaving him puzzled about its connection to the Daoist mission.

• Ye Weiming agreed to Shan Xiaoxiao's request and tamed her, causing the group to leave the instance dungeon and return to the Royal Daoist Temple.
• Tuoba Goudan asked Ye Weiming to reveal his pets' attributes, and Ye Weiming showed the team their powerful skills and equipment.
• Ye Weiming explained that pets more than ten levels above their owner could not directly fight as pets or provide battle rewards.
• Liuyun stopped chanting, and the group received rewards for completing the eight-star hidden mission Purify Royal Daoist Temple.
• Ye Weiming opened the Mystery Gift Box and obtained the incomplete Ghost Valley Swordsmanship inheritance manual.

After purifying the Royal Daoist Temple, Ye Weiming and his companions collected their rewards and arranged for the Emperor's Blade Yan Tian to be distributed or auctioned. Ye Weiming reunited with Youyou and met Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan at the Dong Family Restaurant, where the group turned to rescuing Aunt Yu.

• Liuyun described his Buddhist inheritance and revealed that his Buddhist Dharma had improved qualitatively at Level 20.
• Liuyun displayed the purified Emperor's Blade Yan Tian, and the group agreed to offer it first to their circle of friends and auction it if no one wanted it.
• Yun Mian and Tuoba Goudan left to report to Ning Daoqi, while Liuyun set out to pursue the Contest for the He Clan Jade quest.
• Ye Weiming exchanged messages with Youyou, met her at the Tianjin Bridge, and followed the Twin Dragons' clues to the Dong Family Restaurant.
• Ye Weiming advised Kou Zhong on maintaining a public image and offered to introduce him to Cao Yinglong and the Four Great Bandits' remaining forces.
• Xu Ziling urged the group to focus on saving Aunt Yu and asked Ye Weiming and Youyou for help as a system notification sounded.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling recruited Ye Weiming and Youyou to help rescue Fu Junyu, and the group went to Manqing Courtyard to capture Shangguan Long. Youyou confronted Shangguan Long and opened fire with her Zhuge Divine Crossbow, leaving the rescue operation underway.

• Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling explained that the Yin Kui Sect had captured Fu Junyu and proposed capturing Shangguan Long to exchange for her.
• Ye Weiming revealed that Zhu Yuyan was in Luoyang, negotiated autonomy for himself and Youyou, and accepted the rescue quest with her.
• Ye Weiming studied the Ghost Valley Swordsmanship Fragment and learned Ghost Valley Swordsmanship: Horizontal.
• The group headed to Manqing Courtyard, where Kou Zhong described the gathering, the performances, and the duel between Qu Ao and Fu Qian.
• Youyou confronted Shangguan Long before the guests and fired her Zhuge Divine Crossbow at his vital points.

Youyou challenged Shangguan Long and fought him while trying to expose his ties to the Yin Gui Sect and capture him alive. After Ye Weiming stopped Dugu Ce and treated Dugu Feng, Youyou revealed Non-Attack’s shield form and withstood Shangguan Long’s strongest staff attack, leaving the battle poised for her counterstrike.

• Youyou attacked Shangguan Long over his hat, while her precise crossbow bolts narrowly avoided the surrounding attendants.
• Dugu Ce tried to intervene, but an unseen attack broke his sword; Dugu Feng shielded him from a second strike and received healing medicine from Ye Weiming.
• Shangguan Long demanded evidence of his connection to the Yin Gui Sect and attacked Youyou with his Dragon-Headed Steel Staff.
• Youyou fought while maneuvering with Lightning Movement Step, using her Zhuge Divine Crossbow and Non-Attack to withstand Shangguan Long at close range.
• Ye Weiming and the Twin Dragons recognized that Youyou was deliberately luring Shangguan Long into overcommitting so she could capture him alive.
• Youyou transformed Non-Attack into a tower shield and stood firm against Shangguan Long’s Raging Wind Shatters Hell, leaving him astonished by her strength.

Youyou captured Shangguan Long after exposing his demonic arts, but Qu Ao attacked the group as they tried to leave Manqing Courtyard. Ye Weiming drove Qu Ao away, then confronted the arriving Yin Empress and ordered the others to escape with their prisoner.

• Youyou used the Non-Attack and Sacred Silver Crossbow Bolts to defeat Shangguan Long, knock him unconscious, and bind him for capture.
• Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan joined Youyou, but Qu Ao appeared and attacked Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with Eagle King Shatters the Sun.
• Ye Weiming struck Qu Ao with Sun Day Long Sky, injuring him and forcing him to flee Manqing Courtyard.
• Ye Weiming told the group he could interrogate Shangguan Long, but warned them that trouble had arrived as a terrifying figure approached.
• Ye Weiming identified the newcomer as the Yin Empress, shielded the others from her pressure, and ordered them to leave with Shangguan Long while he held her off.

Ye Weiming confronted Zhu Yuyan while Kou Zhong and the others escaped with Shangguan Long, then summoned Yu Chi Yan Hong and Shan Xiaoxiao to help hold the Yin Empress back. After they struck a wager over Lu Miaozi’s whereabouts, Ye Weiming attacked Zhu Yuyan with a barrage of flying knives.

• Zhu Yuyan arrived to demand Shangguan Long’s release, but Ye Weiming blocked her while Kou Zhong, Ba Fenghan, and Youyou fled with their captive.
• Ye Weiming traded blows with Zhu Yuyan and failed to lure her into his concealed Light Concealment sword trap.
• Ye Weiming summoned Yu Chi Yan Hong and Shan Xiaoxiao, who blocked Zhu Yuyan’s pursuit with a dance and a battle song that activated the Crown of Sound and Image’s special effect.
• Ye Weiming offered to wager Shangguan Long’s release for Fu Junyu’s, but Zhu Yuyan countered by demanding Lu Miaozi’s whereabouts if he lost.
• Ye Weiming accepted Zhu Yuyan’s wager and unleashed a Steel Torrent of flying knives at her.

Ye Weiming used a music-enhanced barrage and shifting martial arts to wound Zhu Yuyan, then recalled his musical companions and began a dangerous Deduction that drove her to flee. As Zhu Yuyan turned back to interrupt him, Ye Weiming revealed that he had prepared a counterattack from above.

• Ye Weiming forced Zhu Yuyan to defend against his Flying Knives, shattered her Great Heavenly Demon Field with a golden lotus strike, and wounded her with a second attack.
• Ye Weiming switched to close combat and had Shan Xiaoxiao and Yu Chi Yan Hong change the music, causing his martial arts to receive random boosts that let him injure Zhu Yuyan again.
• Zhu Yuyan attacked the musicians to disrupt the enhancement, but Ye Weiming recalled both pets and rose high into the air to activate Tai Shan's Secret.
• Zhu Yuyan fled while Ye Weiming pursued and continued his Deduction, but she noticed his altitude falling and waited for a chance to strike.
• Zhu Yuyan launched herself at Ye Weiming to interrupt his Deduction, and Ye Weiming declared that she would face a Palm Strike from the Heavens.

Ye Weiming killed Zhu Yuyan after luring her into a trap, protecting Lu Miaozi from being exposed. He collected her drops and stored her corpse, though the Heavenly Demon Secret fragment required its cultivator to be female.

• Ye Weiming struck Zhu Yuyan with Heavenly Demon Disintegration, badly wounding her, then appeared to fall to his death while pursuing her.
• Zhu Yuyan used the moment Ye Weiming revived to stab him in the chest, having learned about his resurrection from Bi Xuan and Zhao Deyan.
• Ye Weiming revealed that his apparent death was a trap to eliminate Zhu Yuyan and protect Lu Miaozi, then restrained her and killed her with repeated Finger Flicking Divine Swords.
• Ye Weiming received a Heavenly Demon Secret Fragment and Heavenly Demon Brocade from Zhu Yuyan, then placed her corpse in an Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Coffin.

Ye Weiming rescued Fu Junyu from the Luoyang Gang and confronted Zhu Yuyan, who had honored their wager but could not remember what they had bet. He returned to the Dragon's Den with Fu Junyu and prepared to use his new Internal Skill Insights to advance Blazing Sun Sacred Qi.

• Ye Weiming combined the proficiency from five insight manuals into a super Internal Skill Insights manual using the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Coffin.
• At the Twin Dragons' hideout, Ye Weiming hypnotized Shangguan Long and learned that Fu Junyu was held aboard a disguised Luoyang Gang ship at the port.
• Ye Weiming found Fu Junyu in the ship's lowest cabin, where Zhu Yuyan was waiting and said she would hand Fu Junyu over intact despite being unable to remember their wager.
• Ye Weiming refused to explain the wager, took Fu Junyu, and declined Zhu Yuyan's offer to trade Shangguan Long for the Reincarnation Chapter of the Heavenly Demon Secret.
• Ye Weiming returned with Fu Junyu to the Dragon's Den and prepared to use the super Internal Skill Insights to raise Blazing Sun Sacred Qi to level 9.

Ye Weiming raised Blazing Sun Sacred Qi to Level 9, then learned that Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Youyou had stolen He Shi Bi from Pure Thought Zen Monastery. After completing the hidden mission to rescue Fu Junyu, he received one-fifth of He Shi Bi Ability, and Ba Fenghan offered him another share in exchange for a deal.

• Ye Weiming used his newly gained proficiency to raise Blazing Sun Sacred Qi to Level 9, then practiced Myriad Sword Foundation through the night.
• Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Youyou returned to Dragon's Den, and Ye Weiming tested their transformed strength with a palm strike.
• Kou Zhong admitted that they had stolen He Shi Bi from Pure Thought Zen Monastery, with Youyou handling the theft.
• Ye Weiming explained that Fu Junyu was in a suspended-death state and advised taking her to Goryeo Yi Jian Palace for Fu Cailin to treat her.
• Youyou reminded the group to pay Ye Weiming's reward, and Kou Zhong handed him He Shi Bi, completing the hidden mission and earning him one-fifth of its ability.
• Ba Fenghan produced another miniature He Shi Bi and offered to negotiate with Ye Weiming over its share of the ability.

Ye Weiming bargained with Ba Fenghan for his share of the He Shi Bi Ability, then absorbed both portions to transform his body. He refined the ability using the True Dragon Returning Qi Art, but its excess energy massively strengthened his True Dragon Qi until it neared its limit.

• Ye Weiming agreed to demonstrate his mastered Blazing Sun Sacred Qi moves to Ba Fenghan in exchange for one-fifth of the He Shi Bi Ability, while requiring Kou Zhong to hold a letter of introduction for half a month.
• Ye Weiming wrote Kou Zhong a letter introducing Cao Yinglong, then gave Youyou equipment and poison to prepare for the coming test by Shi Feixuan.
• Ye Weiming repeatedly fought and healed Ba Fenghan throughout the morning, letting him experience the Blazing Sun Sacred Qi and earning a second He Shi Bi Ability.
• Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Youyou guarded Ye Weiming as he began absorbing both portions of the He Shi Bi Ability.
• Ye Weiming replaced Xu Ziling’s absorption method with the True Dragon Returning Qi Art, which reduced energy waste and converted the excess ability into True Dragon Qi.
• Ye Weiming finished refining the He Shi Bi Ability at sunset, but his True Dragon Qi had swollen to the point of nearly overflowing.

Ye Weiming finished refining the He Shi Bi, gaining greater internal energy output and faster skill execution, then arrived with his companions at Tianjin Bridge to meet Shi Feixuan. He rejected her offer to withdraw from the struggle for the world, and Shi Feixuan chose Xu Ziling as her first opponent while promising Ye Weiming and Youyou fights against illusionary clones.

• Ye Weiming learned that the He Shi Bi had increased his maximum internal energy output and condensation speed, while its effect on his True Dragon Qi remained unknown.
• Kou Zhong told Ye Weiming that they had time to reach Tianjin Bridge for their appointment with Shi Feixuan, and the five companions set out together.
• Shi Feixuan offered Ye Weiming access to Ci Hang Jing Zhai's texts and the Wind and Water Scrolls if he withdrew from worldly affairs, but Ye Weiming refused because he felt responsible for Cao Yinglong's soldiers.
• Ye Weiming asked Shi Feixuan to put her offer in writing, but she declined and announced that she would test Xu Ziling's martial arts.
• Shi Feixuan said Ye Weiming and Youyou would also face opponents, assigning them illusionary clones with strength comparable to her own.
