Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming, Fei Yu, and Sanyue discovered the Six Great Sects’ experts imprisoned in Wan'an Tower and followed Abbess Miejue to Wang Baobao’s arena. When Wang Baobao tried to kill her with the Heavenly Sword, Ye Weiming intervened and threatened retaliation against Zhao Min, leaving the confrontation poised to escalate.

• Ye Weiming, Fei Yu, and Sanyue found Wan'an Tower heavily guarded and confirmed that Kongwen, Song Yuanqiao, and Abbess Miejue were inside, but Ye Weiming decided they needed the antidote to Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder before attempting a rescue.
• The three followed Abbess Miejue to an arena, where Wang Baobao demanded that she submit and threatened her disciples when she refused to reveal Emei’s martial arts.
• Wang Baobao drew the Heavenly Sword and attacked Abbess Miejue, but Ye Weiming summoned the swords around the arena and descended to stop him.

• Ye Weiming threatened to inflict on Zhao Min everything Wang Baobao did to the Emei disciples, warning that he would ensure she survived to suffer it.

Ye Weiming negotiated Zhao Min’s release in exchange for the Wudang Sect, then left her with Zhang Wuji while he and his allies hunted bosses. Zhao Min returned to Wang Baobao with news of a secret document, but after he sent A Er and A San to retrieve it, Ye Weiming’s party killed them and prepared to ambush the next search party.

• Ye Weiming negotiated with Wang Baobao to exchange Zhao Min for the Wudang Sect’s experts in three days and demanded that the captives remain unharmed until then.

• Zhao Min escaped Zhang Wuji and told Wang Baobao that a secret document at Wujian Temple contained leverage over Central Plains officials.
• Wang Baobao sent A Er and A San to retrieve the document, but Ye Weiming’s party killed both of them and waited at Wujian Temple for another group.
• Zhao Min urged Wang Baobao to send Master Ku and the Xuanming Elders to Wujian Temple, and Wang Baobao ordered them to recover the document.

Ye Weiming and the others ambushed the Xuanming Elders at Wujian Temple, where Fan Yao revealed his true allegiance and helped kill them. After Fan Yao explained how to obtain the antidote needed to rescue the Six Great Sects, Ye Weiming summoned Yu Chi Yan Hong and asked to borrow Fan Yao’s head.

• Lu Zhangke, He Biyong, and Kutou Tuo searched Wujian Temple and found Zhao Min’s encrypted letter beneath the altar’s incense burner.
• Ye Weiming, Fei Yu, Sanyue, Wumingzhi, Pei Tuhou, Wu Zhou, and Qi Ye surrounded the three men outside the temple.
• When He Biyong asked Kutou Tuo to help block Ye Weiming’s attack, Fan Yao struck the Xuanming Elders in the back and sent them flying into the daggers.
• The seven players killed Lu Zhangke and He Biyong while Fan Yao sat aside, and Fan Yao then revealed that the antidote to the Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder was on Lu Zhangke.
• Fan Yao explained that rescuing the Six Great Sects required the antidote and a chance to enter Wan'an Tower, but Ye Weiming summoned Yu Chi Yan Hong and asked to borrow Fan Yao’s head.

Zhao Min and Wang Baobao split up to decipher a secret letter after Kutou Tuo delivered it, while Ye Weiming used Kutou Tuo’s disguise to enter Wan'an Tower and cure the imprisoned Wudang experts. Wang Baobao’s team eventually cracked the letter, leaving its message unrevealed.

• Kutou Tuo reported that the Xuanming Elders had died protecting him while he brought back the secret letter, and Zhao Min proposed that she and Wang Baobao race to decode it.
• Zhao Min berated Kutou Tuo for walking too slowly, convincing Wang Baobao that her time in prison had left her traumatized.
• Kutou Tuo quickly made an identical copy of the letter, and Zhao Min and Wang Baobao formed separate teams to search for its hidden message.
• Ye Weiming entered the Wudang Sect’s floor in Kutou Tuo’s disguise, revealed himself to the Wudang Five Heroes, and gave them the antidote to Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder.
• After several hours, Wang Baobao’s scholars announced that they had cracked the secret letter’s hidden message.

Mr. Xiao Song deciphered the secret letter as pointing to Jiang Tianxiong Mansion in Luoyang, while Wang Baobao secretly arranged to help Zhao Min and silence the scholars. Disguised as Kutou Tuo, Ye Weiming gave the antidote to the Emei Sect and fought his way out of Wan'an Tower, where Wang Baobao confronted him with a question to test his identity.

• Mr. Xiao Song identified the secret letter's hidden location as Jiang Tianxiong Mansion in Luoyang.
• Wang Baobao told Lu Zhangke to secretly give A Da the deciphered answer so Zhao Min could claim the victory, then ordered the scholars killed and the blame placed on the Ming Cult or Ye Weiming.
• Wang Baobao ordered He Biyong to surround Wan'an Tower and summon Kutou Tuo, while Ye Weiming reached the Emei Sect disguised as Kutou Tuo.
• Ye Weiming proved himself to Abbess Miejue, gave her the antidote, and told her to help the Emei disciples recover while he bought them time.
• Ye Weiming killed the guards throughout Wan'an Tower and discovered the strong smell of lamp oil, then faced Wang Baobao, Lu Zhangke, and He Biyong at the entrance.
• Wang Baobao tested Ye Weiming by asking what martial art Kutou Tuo had first taught Zhao Min, and Ye Weiming answered, "The Carefree Sword Style!"

Ye Weiming exposed himself to Wang Baobao and attacked the forces guarding Wan'an Tower, but Wang Baobao ordered the tower burned rather than submit. Zhang Wuji arrived as the tower caught fire, and Zhao Min’s forces faced off against the players while Ye Weiming killed Wang Baobao.

• Wang Baobao questioned Ye Weiming about Zhao Min’s martial arts, prompting Ye Weiming to reveal his identity and launch Myriad Swords Return to One.
• Lu Zhangke defended against Ye Weiming while He Biyong pulled Wang Baobao back, and the surrounding archers raised flaming arrows.
• Ye Weiming scattered the archers’ formation, then used Man and Sword as One to severely injure He Biyong and seize Wang Baobao.
• Wang Baobao ordered the archers to burn Wan'an Tower, and Ye Weiming killed him after Zhao Min warned that he was only a quest-mode avatar.
• The flaming arrows set Wan'an Tower alight as Zhang Wuji arrived with the Ming Cult, Fei Yu, and Sanyue.
• Zhao Min invoked Zhang Wuji’s mother’s warning about trusting beautiful women, and her experts shielded her as the players prepared to attack.

Ye Weiming and his allies rescued the Six Great Sects from Wan'an Tower after Dao Mei, disguised as Zhao Min, ambushed the Ruyang Prince's Estate experts and helped secure their escape. The hidden quest was completed perfectly, and Ye Weiming reached level 100 after receiving his rewards.

• Dao Mei pretended to be Zhao Min and ordered the Yuan Mongol soldiers to let Ye Weiming take the Six Great Sects away in exchange for Wang Baobao.
• Ye Weiming used Myriad Swords Return to One to rescue the Six Great Sects from the burning Wan'an Tower, and the group escorted them safely out of Dadu.
• The system awarded Ye Weiming's team a perfect completion of the Rescue Operation, and Ye Weiming received experience, cultivation points, a Nine Yin White Bone Claw manual, an unsealing condition, and level 100.

After reaching level 100, Ye Weiming learned that the upgraded world allowed certain martial arts to evolve and began studying the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Fei Yu, Sanyue, and Dao Mei received guidance from senior experts to raise their chosen martial arts, while Ye Weiming prepared to accept the evolution quest afterward.

• Ye Weiming reached level 100, gained a 10% boost to his six basic attributes, and warned his teammates to maximize their attributes before leveling up.
• Venerable Huang explained that the world upgrade let eligible martial arts draw on spiritual qi, but said the group had to claim their remaining quest rewards before accepting the Martial Arts Evolution quest.

• Ye Weiming flew to Zhongnan Mountain, where he encountered Niu Zhichun fleeing seven sword-wielding figures who surrounded them and accused Niu Zhichun of lechery.

Ye Weiming intervened when the Quanzhen Seven attacked Niu Zhichun, who was accused of assaulting a woman and murdering fellow disciples. Niu Zhichun explained that he had killed Zhen Ziping for trying to assault Xiao Longnv, but the Quanzhen Seven challenged his account and pointed to evidence they believed contradicted it.

• The Quanzhen Seven surrounded Niu Zhichun with the Heavenly Dipper Array and accused him of attempted rape and murder.
• Niu Zhichun told Ye Weiming he had reached level 101 after obtaining a Blood Bodhi, but the sect had expelled him and lowered his Quanzhen martial arts.

• Ye Weiming shattered the Peach Blossom Sword Token and summoned Huang Yaoshi, causing the Quanzhen Seven to stop attacking.
• Niu Zhichun said he had caught Zhen Ziping trying to assault Xiao Longnv, then killed him after Zhen Ziping attacked him from behind.
• Qiu Chuji and Sun Buer disputed Niu Zhichun's story, noting that Zhen Ziping was dead and that the acupoint-sealing technique used on Xiao Longnv was beyond his skill.

Ye Weiming investigated the attempted assault on Xiao Longnv after the Quanzhen Seven accused Niu Zhichun, and he released her acupoints so she could describe what she heard. He demanded that Zhen Ziping’s actual body be brought in, then claimed even a dog could solve the case, leaving the assembled masters waiting for his explanation.

• Ye Weiming challenged the Quanzhen Seven’s decision to detain Niu Zhichun and insisted that Xiao Longnv be questioned before anyone was judged.
• The Quanzhen Seven led Ye Weiming, Huang Yaoshi, and Niu Zhichun to Xiao Longnv, where Ye Weiming released her acupoints.
• Xiao Longnv said she could not identify the attacker because her eyes had been covered, but recounted hearing two men accuse and fight each other.
• Ye Weiming said Niu Zhichun had not sealed Xiao Longnv’s acupoints and asked to see Zhen Ziping’s actual body.
• Zhen Ziping arrived, and Ye Weiming announced that even a dog could solve the case.

Ye Weiming used Ah Huang and several other dogs to prove that Zhen Ziping's clone had assaulted Xiao Longnv, clearing Niu Zhichun's name. After Ye Weiming threatened to expose Zhen Ziping, Zhen Ziping killed himself, and a voice claiming to be the greatest under Heaven interrupted the aftermath.

• Ye Weiming summoned Ah Huang to sniff the white silk used to blind Xiao Longnv, and the dog identified Zhen Ziping's corpse as carrying the culprit's scent.
• Ye Weiming asked the Quanzhen Sect to repeat the test with dogs from the village, and all three dogs barked at Zhen Ziping's corpse, confirming his guilt and clearing Niu Zhichun.
• Ye Weiming said he would warn women throughout the martial world about Zhen Ziping, prompting Zhen Ziping to stab himself to death to protect the Quanzhen Sect's reputation.
• Qiu Chuji accused Ye Weiming of killing Zhen Ziping with his words, and a voice nearby declared that it was the greatest under Heaven.

• Yang Guo arrived with Xiao Longnv and asked Ye Weiming to spare his muddled foster father; Ouyang Feng fled during their exchange.
• Ye Weiming knocked Yang Guo down for defending Ouyang Feng, then asked whether the blow had been right and why.

Ye Weiming explained to Yang Guo why his carelessness had nearly endangered Xiao Longnv, then received major rewards for completing a hidden quest. After Niu Zhichun refused to return to the Quanzhen Sect and Li Mochou revealed why she had meddled with Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv, Huang Yaoshi asked Ye Weiming why he had summoned him.

• Xiao Longnv described how Ouyang Feng had sealed her acupoints and Zhen Ziping had tried to assault her, and Yang Guo realized why Ye Weiming had reprimanded him.
• Ye Weiming and Niu Zhichun received hidden-quest rewards, including the restoration and evolution of Quanzhen Sect martial arts.

• Li Mochou revealed that she had created hardships for Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv because she found their relationship amusing.
• Huang Yaoshi asked Ye Weiming why he had summoned him with the Flying Flower Sword Token.

Ye Weiming obtained Huang Yaoshi’s evolved Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm and perfected it to fuse with Sky Shaking Nine Swords. The fusion completed his sword art as a unique Peerless Divine Skill, and he eagerly checked its new attributes.

• Huang Yaoshi gave Ye Weiming the evolved Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm manual after Ye Weiming explained how it could help perfect his swordsmanship.
• Li Mochou left to follow Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv, while Niu Zhichun planned to visit Shaolin Temple the next morning.
• Ye Weiming returned to Heaven Reversal Sword Manor, learned the manual, and raised Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm to Level 10 perfection.
• The system recognized the compatibility between Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm and Sky Shaking Nine Swords and offered to fuse them.
• Ye Weiming fused the martial arts, named the new swordless move Swordless Style, and completed Sky Shaking Nine Swords as a Peerless Divine Skill.

Ye Weiming upgraded Sky Shaking Nine Swords and evolved Quanzhen Swordsmanship and Heavenly Dipper Array, then fused the array into Man and Sword as One. After collecting Venerable Huang’s treasure map for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom mission, he discovered that its instance entrance lay where his path to strength had first begun.

• Ye Weiming found that Sky Shaking Nine Swords had become a Peerless Divine Skill, but its higher Level 10 proficiency cost kept him from perfecting it.
• Ye Weiming spent about 70 million Cultivation Points to evolve Quanzhen Swordsmanship and Heavenly Dipper Array, then fused the array into Man and Sword as One.
• Ye Weiming inspected Quanzhen Swordsmanship’s new Ultimate Art attributes and Man and Sword as One’s added Sword Turns Seven Stars effect.
• Ye Weiming traveled to the Divine Constable Bureau, where Sanyue and Dao Mei had gathered with Venerable Huang for the mission briefing.
• Venerable Huang gave Ye Weiming the treasure map and placed him in command, and Ye Weiming recognized the marked instance entrance as the place where his journey to strength had begun.

Ye Weiming learned that the mission to retrieve the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom required him and his allies to face a nearly level-200 Snake Demon sealed beneath Leifeng Pagoda. As he considered whom to recruit and how to prepare for the snake-filled passage, Yin Bukui reported that a Bull Demon was rampaging in Hangzhou.

• Ye Weiming received Venerable Huang's warning that the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom lay in the Snake Demon's sealed lair beneath Leifeng Pagoda, and the mission became a nine-star challenge.
• Venerable Huang explained that the Snake Demon was level 199 and could undergo Dragon Transformation if the battle dragged on, while allowing Ye Weiming to recruit trustworthy outside helpers.
• Ye Weiming left with Dao Mei and Sanyue and discussed recruiting helpers, poison-repelling gear, and the venomous snakes filling the hidden passage.
• Dao Mei balked at entering the snake-filled passage, but Ye Weiming reassured her that their poison-repelling treasures and pills would provide protection.
• Yin Bukui announced in the League of Heroes guild channel that a Bull Demon had descended and was rampaging at Hangzhou Arena, calling for heroes to slay it.

Ye Weiming and his companions went to Hangzhou to investigate Niu Zhichun’s newfound strength, where his exceptional defense and Rapid Metabolism let him recover rapidly with healing pills. Ye Weiming accepted Niu Zhichun’s challenge under attribute suppression mode and prepared to test whether his weapons could overcome the Indestructible Golden Body.

• Ye Weiming, Sanyue, and Dao Mei traveled to Hangzhou after Niu Zhichun boasted in the guild channel and challenged him to spar.
• Niu Zhichun defeated Jiang Jin Jiu by enduring his attacks and restoring his health with healing pills.
• Dao Mei fought Niu Zhichun, broke his protective aura, and heavily damaged him, but his Rapid Metabolism let him recover until she called the match a draw.
• Niu Zhichun invited Ye Weiming to fight under the arena’s attribute suppression mode, which equalized their base attributes to the lower value in each category.
• Ye Weiming accepted the challenge and summoned seven swords beside him as the match began.

Ye Weiming assembled a six-person team and led them through Leifeng Pagoda’s hidden passage to a sealed array suppressing a level 199 demon. They discovered that breaking the array would let them challenge the demon, but failure would release it and bring calamity upon the world.

• Ye Weiming defeated Niu Zhichun in a sparring match, then recruited him for a mission to hunt a level 199 boss.
• Ye Weiming explained the mission and its poison hazards, recruited Jiang Jin Jiu and Decadent Dragon, and finalized the team with Sanyue and Dao Mei.
• Ye Weiming prepared antidotes and healing pills, then met the team at Leifeng Pagoda after dusk.
• Ye Weiming opened the hidden passage, and the team’s poison resistance drove away the venomous snakes inside.
• The team followed a treasure map through a maze to a hall containing a demon-suppressing array, where a system notification warned that breaking it could either unlock the demon challenge or release the demon if they failed.

Ye Weiming and his team entered the dungeon, where the Snake Demon used an illusion to try to trick them into freeing it. After the illusion vanished, they attacked the frozen serpent, which broke free and revealed its true form as a crimson giant python.

• Ye Weiming shattered the stone stele, activating a teleportation formation and granting the six teammates Body-Protecting Golden Light that could upgrade their equipment if they killed the demon.
• The team arrived in a frozen valley and found a colossal snake encased in ice; Jiang Jin Jiu reasoned that it was likely hibernating under the formation's effects.
• The teammates discovered an illusion of a chained woman who claimed to be the Snake Demon and promised them the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom if they freed her.
• Sanyue warned Ye Weiming that the woman's promises and claims of innocence were lies, and the golden light dispelled the illusion before Ye Weiming could act on it.
• Ye Weiming and the others attacked the ice sculpture, cracking it open, but the Snake Demon burst out and became a crimson giant python.
