Ye Weiming and his teammates divided the spoils from Xiong Ba’s defeat, with Sanyue and Youyou joining the loot-sharing meeting by contributing five incomplete Secret Canon of Seeking Gods manuals. After Ye Weiming asked Leng Yan to repair the Peerless Sword, she explained that missing metal was needed, and Sanyue said she had a suitable forging material.

Ye Weiming’s group examined the unsealed World-Ending Guide Map and found its treasure site in Conch Gully, where they hoped to gain Cultivation Points and a way to save You Jin. Nie Feng recognized what they sought and warned that a demon guarding it was no weaker than him.

• Sanyue gave Ye Weiming a Divine Stone Fragment she and Youyou had found beneath the ice in Conch Gully, and Ye Weiming offered to repay her.
• Ye Weiming explained how the Crown of Sound and Image could raise the martial arts learned from Xiong Ba’s secret manuals, and the group discovered their quests required them to find Wuming.

• Nie Feng recognized the treasure site and warned Ye Weiming that the thing they sought was guarded by a demon as powerful as he was.

Ye Weiming learned that the treasure map led to a sealed monster far more powerful than Xiong Ba, so he postponed that challenge while his companions planned other ways to earn Cultivation Points. After mastering Pulse Severing Sword Qi, he received the option to fuse it into Sky Shaking Nine Swords.

• Nie Feng warned Ye Weiming and his companions that the sealed, human-eating monster was far stronger than Xiong Ba and could only be challenged with techniques such as Maha Wuliang and Demon Heart Crossing.
• Jiang Jin Jiu shared a map of evil martial forces and proposed attacking their strongholds to earn Cultivation Points, while Ye Weiming chose to rest before returning to the Imperial City.

• The system offered Ye Weiming the chance to fuse Pulse Severing Sword Qi into Sky Shaking Nine Swords.

• Ye Weiming buried Xiong Ba, fed Sword Master’s remains to Ah Hong, and cremated Zhong Mei with Leng Yan’s help while reciting the Ming Cult’s Bright Song.

• A scarred, bamboo-hatted man carrying a saber and sword confronted Ye Weiming and Leng Yan, locking them in his terrifying killing intent.

• Ye Weiming recognized Po Jun, stopped Leng Yan from joining the fight, and learned that Po Jun wanted him to become a disciple and help deal with Wuming.
• Ye Weiming refused Po Jun’s offer, triggering the hidden seven-star quest “Survival Trial,” which required him to survive Po Jun’s pursuit.
• Ye Weiming sent Leng Yan aside and tricked Po Jun into turning toward a broken piece of the Hero Sword before attacking with his sword.
• Po Jun blocked Ye Weiming’s sword strikes with the Sword-Sealing Art, but Ye Weiming followed with Finger Flicking Divine Sword and Dragon Subduing Divine Leg.
• Po Jun took several heavy kicks without suffering a serious injury, and Ye Weiming resolved to kill him while he had the chance.

Ye Weiming battled Po Jun, enduring his Sha Po Lang killing move and using his perfected martial arts to turn Po Jun’s Fierce Fiend Qi against him. The chapter ended with Ye Weiming unleashing One Qi Transforms Nine Hundred while Yu Chi Yan Hong’s impersonation of Wuming distracted Po Jun.

• Ye Weiming drove Po Jun back with sword and leg attacks, then unleashed ten escalating sword qi strikes that shattered Po Jun’s earth-and-stone defense.

• Po Jun launched Sha Po Lang, but Ye Weiming used the Blunting Sword Stance and Intercepting Sword Stance to neutralize it, though Juque was badly damaged.
• Po Jun disarmed Ye Weiming and attacked with Fierce Fiend Qi; Ye Weiming absorbed the energy with the Five Greats Divine Skill while the Ice Heart Art kept it from clouding his mind.
• Yu Chi Yan Hong imitated Wuming’s voice and distracted Po Jun, giving Ye Weiming the opening to unleash the absorbed Fierce Fiend Qi with One Qi Transforms Nine Hundred.

Ye Weiming repelled Po Jun by turning his Fierce Fiend Qi back on him, then pretended his injuries were worse than they were in hopes of luring Po Jun into a finishing attack. Po Jun fled, and Ye Weiming earned powerful quest rewards, including a title that gave him equal standing with Po Jun and Wuming in the contest for Myriad Swords Return to One.

• Ye Weiming recovered quickly and told his teammates that he had exaggerated his injuries to try to keep Po Jun from escaping.

Ye Weiming reported Xiong Ba’s defeat and the Japanese threat to Emperor Wuchang, who found a reclusive swordsmith to reforge the Peerless Sword. While Mr. Blacksmith and Leng Yan worked at Sword Forging Manor, Ye Weiming guided his teammates through Wuming’s missions, and the reforged sword was completed.

• Ye Weiming gave Yin Bukui the Sword of Swords and sent Xiao Qiao to show Juque’s battle scars to Wuming so he could study Po Jun’s killing move.
• Leng Yan explained that Po Jun had avoided risking injury because he wanted to face Wuming, resolving Ye Weiming’s doubts about his performance in their fight.

• While Mr. Blacksmith and Leng Yan forged the sword, Ye Weiming guided his teammates as they rescued Xiong Ba and You Ruo and prepared for Po Jun’s next moves.
• A brilliant sword light burst from the furnace, and Mr. Blacksmith presented Ye Weiming with the completed divine blade.

Ye Weiming discovered that the reborn Peerless Divine Sword remained sealed because its Sword Heart bore a shadow from its defeat by the Heavenly Sword, and he accepted a quest to defeat Wuming with it. After learning his companions had stopped Po Jun and prevented Jian Chen from harming Yu Chuchu, Ye Weiming headed toward Zhonghua Pavilion to meet them.

Ye Weiming reached the ruins of Sword Sect and accepted a mission to compete for the Myriad Swords Return to One manual. Disguised as Jian Chen, he watched Wuming and Po Jun resume their duel, which ended with Wuming wounding Po Jun and Po Jun demanding to know who had revealed the weakness in Sha Po Lang.

• Ye Weiming arrived at the ruined Zhonghua Pavilion, learned Wuming and Po Jun had gone to Sword Sect, and accepted the nine-star mission to contend for the Myriad Swords Return to One manual.

• Wuming and Po Jun clashed outside Sword Sect, and their battle sent a giant snowball rolling down the mountainside toward Ye Weiming disguised as Jian Chen.
• Wuming shielded Ye Weiming from Po Jun's Greedy Wolf attack, then counterattacked and realized Po Jun handled his ordinary sword moves differently from his signature techniques.
• Wuming wounded Po Jun's shoulder, pushed Ye Weiming out of the battle, and used the Hero Sword to break Sha Po Lang and cut Po Jun beneath the ribs.
• Po Jun demanded to know who had taught Wuming how to counter Sha Po Lang, while Ye Weiming silently vowed to punish him for cursing.

Ye Weiming ambushed Po Jun after Po Jun poisoned Wuming and framed Jian Chen, defeating him and claiming the right to inherit Myriad Swords Return to One. He then executed Po Jun and left Wuming alive but devastated by the betrayal.

• Po Jun revealed that Wuming had been poisoned with Blood Absolute and falsely blamed Jian Chen for poisoning him, massacring Miyin Temple, and causing Xiong Ba's death.

• Ye Weiming revealed his true appearance, denounced Po Jun for treason and collaboration with Japan's Wushen Jue Palace, and killed him with the Peerless Divine Sword.

Ye Weiming killed Po Jun, looted his gear, and used a coffin to obtain martial arts insights before pressing the Sword Emperor for the promised Myriad Swords Return to One manual. He proposed healing Wuming and competing fairly later, but the Sword Emperor insisted the contest be settled immediately and invoked the Central Plains’ crisis to force Ye Weiming to act.

• Ye Weiming killed Po Jun, reached level 99, and collected his manuals, artifacts, and money while Wuming stayed silent.
• Ye Weiming put Po Jun’s corpse in an Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Coffin and merged the resulting insights into 220 million Swordsmanship Proficiency.
• Ye Weiming reminded the Sword Emperor that he had killed Po Jun and demanded Myriad Swords Return to One, but the Sword Emperor said Wuming had not been defeated.
• Ye Weiming offered to cure Wuming’s Blood Absolute poison and restore his martial arts so they could compete fairly, but the Sword Emperor rejected waiting.
• Ye Weiming told the Sword Emperor to cite the threat from Japan’s Wushen Jue Palace as a reason to settle the succession contest, and the Sword Emperor used that argument to rebuke him.

• Ye Weiming told Wuming about Jian Chen’s capture and recovery, the massacre at Miyin Temple, and the protections he had arranged for Zhonghua Pavilion.
• Ye Weiming tasted Wuming’s poisoned blood, explained that he could identify poisons and was working on a cure, then proposed a sword-only duel for Myriad Swords Return to One.
• Wuming recognized Ye Weiming’s kindness and conceded the manual rather than stake the title of Supreme Sword Dao; Ye Weiming declined the resulting challenge to fight Wuming at full strength.
• The system awarded Ye Weiming the Myriad Swords Return to One manual and completed the Peerless Divine Sword’s unsealing, granting him a swordsmanship level bonus.
• The Peerless Divine Sword revealed its powerful attributes, including increased attack, swordsmanship, and Luck, as well as the Blood Absolute effect.
• The Sword Emperor leaped from the collapsing Sword Sect Ice Cellar as Ye Weiming examined the newly unsealed sword.

Ye Weiming maxed out Grand Xuan Scripture, but as he and Wuming received their inheritance, Jue Xin and Jue Tian arrived with Wushen Jue Palace forces to seize it.

• Sword Emperor explained that Ye Weiming and Wuming both qualified for Myriad Swords Return to One under different conditions, so he gave each of them a manual.
• Sword Emperor advised them to raise their internal skills and sword techniques as far as possible before cultivating Myriad Swords Return to One, then left to enjoy his freedom.

Ye Weiming accepted a six-star quest to protect the poisoned Wuming and break through Wushen Jue Palace’s encirclement, while deciding to kill the surrounding forces for greater rewards. He captured and killed Jue Tian to search for the Blood Absolute antidote, then charged at Jue Xin, who was believed to have it.

• Ye Weiming used the Soul Shifting Great Method to learn that Jue Tian had no antidote and that Jue Xin supposedly kept it.
• When Jue Xin denied having the antidote, Ye Weiming killed Jue Tian and collected his dropped items, then rushed toward Jue Xin to seize the antidote.

Ye Weiming helped his allies protect Wuming from the Ghost Executioners, but discovered that the Jue Xin he killed was a decoy and the real Jue Xin had escaped. After splitting from the others, Ye Weiming slaughtered the remaining Ghost Executioners, completed a hidden mission, and opened the Myriad Swords Return to One manual.

• Ye Weiming drew a line in the snow and killed every Ghost Executioner who crossed it, completing the hidden mission and earning 100 million experience points and 10 million Cultivation Points.
• Ye Weiming buried the Ghost Executioners, gathered insights from Jue Tian’s corpse, and opened the Myriad Swords Return to One manual, recognizing the power of the Grand Xuan Scripture’s Martial Dao Spiritual Root effect.
