• Xun Ziyou warned Mo Hua to be cautious in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, while Mo Hua examined the steward's Storage Bag and dismantled the Demon Banner.
• Mo Hua deduced that the Four Symbols Array Technique borrowed the power of beasts, but that using demon patterns turned it into a dangerous Evil Array.

• The next day, Ouyang Mu again resisted before reading Mo Hua’s prepared lines, while the Evil Artifact Master tempted him with sword-casting skills and numerous Sword Arrays.
• Mo Hua overheard the offer of Sword Arrays and realized the Evil Artifact Master could teach him valuable techniques.

Outside the valley, Xun Zixian identified the barrier as a possible Divine Dao Array, while the Evil Artifact Master began teaching Ouyang Mu to cast a Sword Bone for a Golden Core Natal Magic Treasure.

• Mo Hua coached Ouyang Mu to convince the Evil Artifact Master that he had embraced the ambition to become a master of evil swords, and Ouyang Mu refined White Bone into Refined Iron under the old man's watch.

• The Evil Artifact Master began teaching Ouyang Mu to cast a Sword Bone for a Natal Magic Treasure intended to advance its wielder to Golden Core.

Mo Hua learned about Natal Magic Treasures and wondered what he could use when he reached Golden Core Formation, then studied Elder Xun Zixian’s insights into the Divine Dao arrays in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. Meanwhile, Ouyang Mu learned to forge sword bones from the old Demon Cultivator, who revealed that he had once been a disciple of the Ouyang Family.

• The old Demon Cultivator explained how cultivators prepared Natal Magic Treasure embryos for Golden Core Formation and described the inheritance advantages of great clans.
• Mo Hua considered using the Dao Stele as his Natal Magic Treasure, but abandoned the idea and decided not to rush his choice.
• Mo Hua read Elder Xun’s message about the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and exchanged questions about its Divine Dao arrays with Xun Zixian.
• Jin Gui watched Ouyang Mu practice forging evil swords, unaware that Ouyang Mu avoided the most sinister procedures with Mo Hua’s help and the old Demon Cultivator’s tacit permission.
• At Mo Hua’s prompting, Ouyang Mu asked the old Demon Cultivator about his connection to the Ouyang Family, and the old man revealed that he had once been its disciple.

Ouyang Mu learned that the dying Evil Sword Master claimed to be an elder of the Ouyang Family and agreed to study his forging arts, while Mo Hua suspected the old man was hiding his true intentions. As the old man began teaching Ouyang Mu to forge a Natal Sword Bone, Mo Hua discovered him secretly drawing Divine Dao Array patterns on it.

• The old Demon Cultivator told Ouyang Mu that he had been a Ta'a Gate disciple who became an Evil Sword Master after Demon Cultivators captured him, and asked to pass on his artifact-refining techniques.
• Ouyang Mu agreed to learn from the old man, who promised to begin with righteous methods and said a cultivator who reached Golden Core Formation might leave the Ten Thousand Demon Prison.
• Mo Hua warned Ouyang Mu and Linghu Xiao that the old man's story was suspicious, but advised Ouyang Mu to keep learning and act as though he trusted the elder.
• The next day, the old Demon Cultivator taught Ouyang Mu how to forge a Natal Sword Bone from a bloodstained human bone and sent him to temper iron at the Blood Pool.
• While Ouyang Mu was away, the old Demon Cultivator secretly used a brush to draw Divine Dao Array patterns on the Sword Bone, and Mo Hua recognized them.

Mo Hua uncovered the old Demon Cultivator’s plan to use Ouyang Mu in forging a Natal Evil Sword, then watched as the old Demon Cultivator revealed his centipede form and attacked. Ouyang Mu survived the initial assault with a hidden array, and an unseen ally’s golden sword streaked toward the old Demon Cultivator.

• Mo Hua told Ouyang Mu and Linghu Xiao about the Divine Dao Array Pattern on the Sword Bone, and they suspected the old Demon Cultivator needed Ouyang Mu to complete a Natal Evil Sword and form a Golden Core.
• Mo Hua gave Ouyang Mu protective artifacts, Array Disks, cloth, and Pills, then Jin Gui ordered an Eagle Pattern Demon Cultivator to monitor the old Demon Cultivator’s lessons.
• The old Demon Cultivator killed the Eagle Pattern Demon Cultivator and Dog-headed Demon Cultivator after they arrived to watch him, then sealed the Evil Artifact Room with Ouyang Mu inside.
• The old Demon Cultivator transformed into a centipede and attacked Ouyang Mu, but an Earth Fire Kill Array blasted him back.
• As the old Demon Cultivator demanded to know who was helping Ouyang Mu, a golden streak of sword light appeared, and he recognized Sword Control.
