The chapter ended with other entrants enduring dangerous and disgusting ordeals as they struggled to survive.

• Fang Che read the Yin Yang Realm's rules, including its ten-year duration, cultivation reset, and nine life-and-death trials, and discovered that he had already earned one crack in his ring after nearly drowning.

Fang Che, Dong Yunyu, Yan Beihan, and Feng Yun settled into the strange world and spent nearly a year cultivating from scratch. After Fang Che regained the ability to use Divine Sense, he found a rusted Iron Shard in his sea of consciousness that transformed into unusually pure Divine Sense power, though he could not remember where it came from.

• Fang Che, Yan Beihan, Feng Yun, and Dong Yunyu secured shelter and supplies before beginning cultivation, while adjusting their mindsets to their restricted strength.

• The Iron Shard's rust faded into white light that became pure Divine Sense power, and Fang Che chose not to pursue the memory he feared might return.

After nearly a year of slow cultivation, Fang Che discovered that the tiny bear from the mysterious space had appeared beside his hut. When snakes and insects attacked through the night, he protected the bear, fought until they retreated, and prepared for another assault.

• Fang Che worried that his emotional reactions to people from his past could endanger others, then lamented that his cultivation had advanced only to Martial General in nearly a year.
• Fang Che woke to the sound of creatures approaching and found a frightened little bear behind his hut.
• Fang Che recognized the bear by the white tuft on its forehead and held it close as snakes and insects swarmed around them.

• Fang Che fought increasingly intense waves of snakes and insects for seven nights, collecting more than two thousand Snake Pearls and Inner Cores.
• Fang Che saw more than a dozen house-sized Giant Pythons charge toward his home, blamed the bear cub, and prepared to flee.

• Yan Beihan accused Fang Che of causing the snake attacks and drew her sword after realizing he knew her identity.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan agreed not to turn on each other yet, and Fang Che considered how useful her help might be against the Giant Pythons.

Fang Che tried to keep Yan Beihan close while pretending he wanted her to leave, and she saw through his act and stayed. She became enchanted with his little bear and spent the rest of the chapter trying to tame it as Fang Che prepared for another wave of snakes.

• Fang Che told Yan Beihan that their opposing sides made it better for them to separate, but she suspected he was hiding a benefit and decided to stay.
• Yan Beihan spotted Fang Che's little bear and eagerly offered to take it, but the bear clung to Fang Che and refused to go with her.
• Yan Beihan lured the bear with fish and began teaching it tricks while Fang Che reluctantly agreed to build her a house in exchange for bedding and a tent.
• Fang Che chopped trees and cut grass to prepare for the next wave of snakes as Yan Beihan continued training the bear.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan fought off a growing swarm of snakes and insects after his promised house turned out to be a ring of fire made from dried trees. They took turns battling and recovering, with Fang Che breaking through to Martial General Rank Seven as they prepared for the stronger snakes still to come.

• Fang Che spent days cutting and drying trees while Yan Beihan waited for him to build a house, and he promised her a surprise.
• On the third night, a snake and insect swarm surrounded them, and Fang Che revealed that he had made the trees into a ring of fire rather than a house.

• Yan Beihan guarded Fang Che while he broke through to Martial General Rank Seven, then he kicked her back into the ring so she could cultivate.
• Fang Che estimated that the Giant Pythons would arrive in about a day and a half, and he and Yan Beihan continued alternating between fighting and resting.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan continued cooperating against the snake hordes, debating survival and morality while gathering resources and fighting through increasingly dangerous attacks. They escaped encirclement by Giant Pythons and crossed a lake, where Fang Che’s water manipulation provoked Yan Beihan.

• After the overnight battle, Fang Che moved the logs to a new campsite for a payment of Spirit Crystals, while Yan Beihan secretly recognized his precious garment and knew he was the Night Demon.
• As they prepared for another attack, Yan Beihan and Fang Che discussed privilege, war, and whether temporary cooperation between enemies was reasonable.
• They fought through worsening snake attacks and collected Inner Cores and Snake Pearls, with Yan Beihan copying Fang Che’s resource-gathering tactics.
• When Giant Pythons surrounded them, Fang Che and Yan Beihan used each other’s momentum to fly over one of the snakes and fled with the little bear, despite being injured.
• Fang Che led Yan Beihan into a lake and propelled them toward the opposite bank with Spiritual Power, then used the water to repeatedly slap her buttocks until she angrily demanded that he stop.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan escaped a Giant Python swarm by sending its towering waves toward Netherworld Hell’s camp, where the pythons devastated the disciples. After Yan Beihan beat Fang Che in an argument-turned-fight, the little bear ran back to him, leaving her baffled by its attachment.

• Fang Che and Yan Beihan fled the pursuing Giant Pythons across the lake and decided to attack the Netherworld Hell camp, disguising themselves with veils.
• Fang Che’s waves swept through the camp, and the pursuing Giant Pythons followed, killing many Netherworld Hell disciples as Yin Yunxiao tried to save the survivors.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan escaped across several mountains, then argued over who had caused the disaster and who was responsible for targeting Netherworld Hell.
• Yan Beihan attacked Fang Che and beat him badly, then left with the little bear while he stayed behind.
• The little bear sprinted back to Fang Che and clung to him, so Yan Beihan returned and wondered aloud whether Fang Che had given birth to it.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan prepared for the snake horde and learned that the Little Bear was likely attracting it, then tested the theory and found the snakes attacked wherever the bear stayed. After another brutal escape, Fang Che concluded they would be hunted for at least five or six years until they could defeat the Giant Pythons and the Snake King.

• Yan Beihan chased Fang Che in fury after he teased her, but they stopped fighting and prepared trees for the coming snake horde.

• Three days later, snakes attacked Yan Beihan and the Little Bear while Fang Che's camp remained untouched, confirming his suspicion.
• Yan Beihan made Fang Che return to share the danger, and the pair later escaped a Giant Python attack with severe injuries.
• Fang Che said they would need five or six years to grow strong enough to kill the Giant Pythons and the Snake King, leaving Yan Beihan despairing over the long ordeal.

For six months, Fang Che and Yan Beihan fought through endless snake swarms in the Yin Yang Realm while their cultivation and their companions’ powers grew. When Giant Pythons cornered them and summoned a vast swarm of Golden Head Flying Centipedes, they began a desperate charge toward water, leaving Yan Beihan to take over after Fang Che’s strength ran out.

• Yan Beihan and Fang Che spent months killing snakes and fleeing, while the Golden Horned Flood Dragon absorbed deathly aura and grew close to becoming corporeal.
• Yan Beihan repeatedly beat Fang Che in sparring, and both continued improving while collecting Inner Cores and Snake Pearls.
• Dong Yunyu provoked Demon Beasts across the realm, filled the Golden Hair Rats’ burrows with Flying Tigers’ feces, and cracked his Space Ring seven times.
• After the Giant Pythons evolved their intelligence and called for reinforcements, Fang Che and Yan Beihan encountered a swarm of Golden Head Flying Centipedes blocking their escape.
• Yan Beihan gave Fang Che a pill and directed him to carve a path through the centipedes toward deep water, then held on as he carried her forward with his saber.
• Fang Che charged through the swarm until he called for a switch, and Yan Beihan spat blood and unleashed the Blood Burning Art.

Yan Beihan and Fang Che escaped the Flying Centipedes by diving across a vast lake, then settled on the far shore and clashed over chores and privacy. Their uneasy camp was interrupted when Fang Che discovered the surrounding land had no other living creatures, prompting them to investigate the danger.

• Yan Beihan carried Fang Che and the little bear through the Flying Centipedes’ encirclement, and they escaped beneath the lake while the pursuing Giant Pythons turned back after a white tiger warned them away.
• Fang Che created an air pocket so Yan Beihan could breathe underwater, then slapped her with waves as they swam until they reached the opposite shore.
• Yan Beihan changed clothes after Fang Che walked away, then acted cold and domineering toward him at camp, beat him after he refused her orders, and later attacked him again when he mentioned seeing her use a flower patch as a screen.
• Fang Che hid in the lake for a day and a night before returning to camp, where he noticed the mountains were unnaturally silent and lacked birds, insects, snakes, and even earthworms.
• Fang Che warned Yan Beihan that the area had no living creatures, and they agreed to investigate opposite sides of a two-hundred-mile radius before meeting beyond its boundary.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan explored a lifeless region, were injured by a distant roar, and returned to the lake while trying to understand why the Yin Yang Realm differed so drastically from its records. Elsewhere, Feng Yun and the Jiang siblings struggled to survive the realm’s overwhelming dangers, and Little Bear began to show signs of change.

• Fang Che found traces of vanished ants and witnessed a distant roar kill several enormous birds, leaving him bleeding from his seven orifices.
• Fang Che found Yan Beihan unconscious and injured, gave her a Heavenly King Divine Pill, and helped her return to the lake.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan compared their discoveries and cracked Space Rings, questioned how past disciples survived the Yin Yang Realm, and agreed to stay together.
• Feng Yun fled from three enormous lions, while Jiang Bihuang and Jiang Bixiao realized that the realm contradicted the sect records and feared its giant Demon Beasts.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan spent the night beside the lake and discussed whether legendary fighters could survive the realm's dangers.
• Yan Beihan noticed that Little Bear's black fur had become clearer and its white brow marking more distinct.

Fang Che and Yan Beihan hid underwater while a powerful Demon Beast battled two giant birds, then surfaced and searched for Little Bear. They found Little Bear with a tiny white tiger, whose arrival left them facing a new mystery.

• Fang Che and Yan Beihan debated whether to stay by the lake or risk crossing back, then spent several days cultivating and broke through to higher grades.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan reasoned that the Demon Beast had cleared its territory only decades ago, but giant birds suddenly attacked it, forcing them to dive deep into the lake for shelter.
• Yan Beihan noticed that Little Bear survived the underwater upheaval unharmed, and Fang Che and Yan Beihan later watched it swim swiftly toward the surface.
• Fang Che and Yan Beihan surfaced, enjoyed a slow swim through the lake, and then hurried ashore when they realized Little Bear was missing.
• Little Bear eventually returned and ran to Fang Che, while a tiny white tiger burst from the grass and charged at Yan Beihan.
