Chapter Summaries

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan led the Ye Family's expedition into the South Sea to conceal their teleportation route and prepare to relocate a Fifth-Order Secret Realm. After luring Thunder Roar Turtles toward Jade Within Sky, they were surprised when an Eight-tailed Octopus Demon Emperor entered the cave heaven before the turtle emperor arrived.

• Ye Xuefan had the clan members conceal the teleportation array and train their formation skills by setting up several formations on the island.
• Ye Xuecang located the group near Blue Sand Island and planned to travel inside a Blue Water Whale while Ye Tengjia used spirit insects to scout and seek a site for another teleportation array.
• Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan found a nearby island inhabited by a fifth-order Thunder Roar Turtle Demon Emperor and numerous lower-order turtles, then decided to lure them into the cave heaven.
• The Ye Family placed Jade Within Sky on an outer reef and released enticing bait to draw the Thunder Roar Turtles toward it.
• An Eight-tailed Octopus Demon Emperor entered the cave heaven before the Thunder Roar Turtle Demon Emperor arrived.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan ambushed the Thunder Roar Turtles drawn to the Ye Family’s Enticing Demon Grass and subdued their Demon Emperors. The Eight-Tailed Octopus Demon Emperor was killed after betraying Ye Xuecang, who then turned to the captured Thunder Roar Turtle Demon Emperor.

• The Thunder Roar Turtles charged into the cave heaven and blasted the lake and its spirit fish with lightning arrows.
• The Eight-Tailed Octopus Demon Emperor attacked the turtles, while Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan emerged from hiding and struck the Thunder Roar Turtle Demon Emperor into the cave heaven.

• The Eight-Tailed Octopus Demon Emperor attacked Ye Xuecang, but the Golden Falcon severed its Natal tentacles and killed it; Ye Xuecang captured its Beast Infant and asked the Thunder Roar Turtle Demon Emperor whether it would surrender.

Ye Xuecang subdued the Thunder Roar Turtle clan and learned that the Eight-Tailed Demon Saint was guarding a spirit vine it believed to be a Sixth Order spirit fruit vine. He then led the Ye Family into a newly discovered Fifth-Order Secret Realm, where they began searching for its abundant resources.

• Ye Xuecang forced the Thunder Roar Demon Emperor to surrender, bound it with three methods, and had it bring the remaining Thunder Roar Turtles under control.
• The Thunder Roar Turtles consumed the five-leaved Enticing Demon Grass before Ye Xuecang led them out of the cave heaven, where Ye Xuefan withdrew his array.
• Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan searched the Eight-Tailed Demon Emperor's soul and learned that the Eight-Tailed Demon Saint guarded a spirit vine it believed would bear Sixth Order fruit.
• Ye Xuecang considered using the Demon Saint's fear of humans stealing the fruit to draw it into a beast tide against the Profound Sky Demon Sect, while cautioning that the plan needed careful thought.
• The Ye Family found the entrance to a Fifth-Order Secret Realm beneath Thunder Roar Island and entered it, discovering dense forests and exceptionally rich spiritual energy.
• Ye Xuecang collected a three-thousand-year-old Crimson Sun Ginseng and instructed the family members to search separately, each accompanied by a Demon Emperor.

• The Rock Armor Giant Bear cub attacked Ye Xuefan with Earth Attribute spiritual power, but he dispersed it with his Golden Core Peak cultivation.

Ye Xuecang subdued the Rock Armor Giant Bear and discovered records of a mysterious silver-script seed tied to the destruction of the South Sea Cultivation World. Suspecting the Profound Sky Demon Sect and Eight-Tailed Demon Saint were concealing a larger scheme, he ordered the Ye Family to withdraw from the beast tide and reassess its plans.

• The Golden Scale Beast defeated the Rock Armor Giant Bear in combat, and Ye Xuecang offered it a chance to serve the Ye Family.
• Ye Xuecang threatened the bear with his sword until it agreed to submit for up to two thousand years, then bound it with a Beast Spirit Seal and Blood Pact.
• The bear gave Ye Xuecang its possessions, including records from the Chaotic Sea Alliance about a silver-script seed that had drained a high-grade spirit vein and three Spirit Eye Springs.
• Ye Xuecang suspected the seed was connected to the South Sea Cultivation World's destruction and that Eight-Tailed Demon Saint's feud with the Profound Sky Demon Sect was a cover.
• Ye Xuecang summoned the Ye Family members and ordered them to avoid the beast tide, move the secret realm, return to the Star Sea, and investigate the South Sea's casualties.
• Ye Xuefan and the other Clan Elders realized the Profound Sky Demon Sect might be hiding its strength and that the Ye Family's original plan could expose them to a Penglai ambush.

Ye Tengjia reported the results of his investigation of the sea to Ye Xuecang, who chose a concealed stone island as the site for a new Teleportation Array. Three years later, Ye Jingcheng had consolidated his Spirit Transformation cultivation but realized his preparations for attacking Penglai Island would take longer than planned.
