Mo Hua recruited Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai to secretly infiltrate a mob faction in Azure Fields and pose as mysterious experts. After entering the Changshan Army camp, Mo Hua introduced their fictional Ascendant Immortal Sect and promised General Chang an opportunity to quell the chaos.

• Mo Hua claimed they belonged to the Ascendant Immortal Sect and told General Chang that his opportunity had arrived.

Mo Hua persuaded General Chang to join the newly invented Ascendant Immortal Sect by predicting the Changshan Army’s destruction and promising protection for its people. After settling in the camp, Mo Hua learned that the Dao Court closely policed the use of “Immortal” in names, leaving him uneasy about Immortal City.

• Bai Xiaosheng explained that names containing powerful words such as “Heaven,” “Dao,” and “Immortal” carried fortune and were policed by the Dao Court.
• Gu Changhuai described how the Dao Court investigated even small powers that used “Immortal” in their names, and Mo Hua realized that Immortal City had kept the word unnoticed.

Mo Hua worried that the Ascendant Immortal Sect’s name might draw trouble, but he and his companions kept it as a temporary ruse and used his predictions to win General Chang’s trust. The chapter ended with General Chang pledging the Changshan Army to the sect, while Mo Hua admitted he had invented its Ancestor.

• Mo Hua wondered whether Immortal City, the Dao Stele, and his master’s choice to hide there were connected, then asked whether he could rename the Ascendant Immortal Sect.

Mo Hua learned that Azure Fields High Person was a calamity-linked Golden Core cultivator who had risen rapidly and led a vast rebellion. He used General Chang’s army to launch a campaign across Azure Fields, leaving the Changshan Army as an eight-hundred-thousand-strong force under his influence.

• Bai Xiaosheng forbade Mo Hua from inventing any more people, gods, or beasts for the Ascendant Immortal Sect, and Gu Changhuai urged him to end the Azure Fields riot quickly.

• Mo Hua gave General Chang a map marked with a red line and ordered him to begin the campaign, launching a war against the forces in Azure Fields.
• General Chang’s army defeated rival forces and recruited survivors, killing General Locust and Blackbrow High Person along the way.
• Within a little over a month, the Changshan Army grew from fewer than one hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand, making Mo Hua’s influence over the rebellion immense.

Mo Hua continued planning the campaign against Azure Fields High Person while Bai Xiaosheng questioned his military skill and the rumors about his strength. After the Azure-Faced Host attacked the Changshan Army, strange invisible figures struck the camp at night, leaving Mo Hua to suspect that a Left Path expert had joined the enemy.

• Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai questioned Mo Hua about his ability to command troops, and Mo Hua credited his experience in the Great Wilderness and guidance from True Person Zhuge and General Yang.
• Bai Xiaosheng explained that Azure Fields High Person might possess a Demon-Human Fate that made him difficult to kill unless he devoured more than half the cultivators in a State Boundary.
• Mo Hua paused the Changshan Army's advance to rest and reorganize its forces, hoping to avoid heavy casualties before capturing Azure Fields High Person.
• The Azure-Faced Host attacked the Changshan Army repeatedly, but Mo Hua anticipated its moves and prevented major losses while inflicting casualties on the enemy.
• Invisible, malformed figures invaded the Changshan Army camp at night and devoured soldiers' souls, prompting Mo Hua to suspect that an enemy expert was using Left Path Thaumaturgy.

Mo Hua destroyed the invisible demon specters attacking the Changshan Army, then discussed his unusual sword technique with Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai. Bai Xiaosheng suspected Mo Hua possessed a divine sword passed down by a Void Gate ancestor, but Gu Changhuai stopped him before he could probe further.

• Mo Hua ordered General Chang to isolate the contaminated soldiers and then killed the demon specters with his Divine Thought, restoring order in the camp.
• General Chang and the soldiers praised Mo Hua, who warned them the Left Path fiend might return and gave instructions for treating the wounded and guarding the camp.
• Back in the tent, Bai Xiaosheng warned Mo Hua to keep a lower profile and questioned him about the eye-based technique he had used.
• Bai Xiaosheng suspected Mo Hua had learned the forbidden Supreme Void Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art, but Mo Hua claimed he used a registered technique called the Supreme Void Soul-Startling Sword Intent Art.
• Bai Xiaosheng reasoned that Mo Hua's Natal Magic Treasure was a Divine Sword inherited from a Void Gate ancestor, while Gu Changhuai stopped him from asking more about Mo Hua's secrets.

Mo Hua investigated the Left Path alchemist behind the attack on the Changshan Army and learned the name Wang Liangzi, along with a trail of murdered witnesses. His divination connected the culprit to the Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching Great Art.

• Bai Xiaosheng suspected Mo Hua had inherited a divine sword from Old Ancestor Dugu, then grew frightened as he considered Mo Hua’s connection to a terrifying Daoist.
• General Chang reported that more than fifty soldiers had died from withered seas of consciousness after the Left Path attack.
• Mo Hua questioned General Chang about the unknown thaumaturgy and ordered him to ask the Changshan Army for clues about its caster.
• General Chang traced a lead to a murdered landlord’s household and learned that a deputy general’s cousin had heard the name Wang Liangzi before dying.
• Mo Hua followed the new clues through karma and identified the Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching Great Art.

Mo Hua investigated Wang Liangzi and the Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching Great Art, but found no safe way to reach or kill him. He reconstructed Master Wu’s Five Ghosts Human-Faced Curse-Killing Technique, then devised a way to replace its ghost-spider medium by transforming his Thought Power through arrays.

• Mo Hua learned that Wang Liangzi was the suspected killer behind multiple family massacres, but even General Chang knew almost nothing about his identity or whereabouts.
• Mo Hua recorded what he knew of Wang Liangzi and tried to trace him through karma, but found no direct way to kill him and ruled out sending others to assassinate him.
• Mo Hua recalled Master Wu’s Five Ghosts Human-Faced Curse-Killing Technique and reconstructed its basic structure by reviewing the memory of being cursed to death.
• Mo Hua realized he could not use the technique without five human-faced ghost spiders to provide its cursed power, and rejected the idea of stealing them from Master Wu.
• Mo Hua proposed using arrays to transform his Thought Power into Array Power that could simulate Cursed Power and drive the technique.

Mo Hua tried to adapt Master Wu’s Five Ghosts Human-Faced Curse-Killing Technique by using his own Thought Power and poison arrays instead of Gu insects and rituals. After the Five Elements Source Diagram yielded several rare poison arrays, he had the five elemental poison techniques needed to develop his version of the curse.

• Mo Hua reasoned that he could transform his Thought Power into Cursed Power with Array Techniques and used the Azure Wood Poison Array to form a poisonous pattern on his hand.
• Mo Hua decided to replace the technique’s five Gu poisons with poison arrays based on metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but he lacked metal and earth poison arrays.
• Mo Hua took out the Five Elements Source Diagram and deciphered ordinary arrays before a threat prompted it to reveal the Third-Grade Middle-Tier Geng-Xin Metal Poison Array.
• Mo Hua threatened the Source Pattern again and obtained the Third-Grade High-Tier Earth Miasma Poison Array.
• Mo Hua continued deciphering and uncovered the Heart-Burning Fire Poison Array, Cold Gui Water Poison Array, and Bone-Clinging Wood Poison Array.

Mo Hua deciphered five Third-Grade Five Elements poison arrays and began studying them, mastering the water, wood, and metal arrays. As he uncovered the Earth Miasma Poison Array’s plague-spreading potential, he realized it could destroy a city or even annihilate an entire state.

• Mo Hua found that the Five Elements Source Pattern had yielded five Third-Grade poison arrays, though it produced nothing else when he tried to decipher more.
• Mo Hua recorded the five poison arrays and practiced drawing them, first in his Sea of Consciousness and then on the Dao Stele.
• Mo Hua learned the Cold Gui Water, Bone-Clinging Wood, and Geng-Xin Metal Poison Arrays, but repeatedly failed to master the Heart-Burning Fire Poison Array.
• Mo Hua studied the Earth Miasma Poison Array and deduced that it could spread corpse rot and plague across the land.
• Mo Hua realized the Earth Miasma Poison Array could function as a large-scale killing array capable of destroying a city or annihilating a state.

Mo Hua mastered the Earth Miasma Poison Array, developed a workable grasp of the Heart-Burning Fire Poison Array, and created a five-element poison curse hand powered by his divine thought. After arranging the camp guards according to a map of the demonic insects, he waited for the next stage of the Left Path fiend’s attack, which began when a strange gecko insect emerged.

• Mo Hua mastered the Earth Miasma Poison Array but remained puzzled by the deeper meaning of the Heart-Burning Fire Poison Array.
• General Chang reported renewed raids, rising casualties, and swarms of suspicious demonic insects around the camp; Mo Hua told him to record their kinds, numbers, and locations.
• Mo Hua combined five poison arrays with the Five Ghosts Human-Face Curse-Killing methods and created the Five-Element Poison Array Curse Hand.
• Mo Hua examined General Chang’s insect map and ordered him to leave a gap at a specific camp during a precise watch three days later.
• After three days of preparation, Mo Hua watched the usual insects emerge from the earth, followed later by a strange, poisonous-looking gecko demon insect.

Mo Hua lured Wang Liangzi into his Sea of Consciousness, where Wang Liangzi revealed his Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching Great Art and attacked him with nearly a hundred Wraith Soldiers. The chapter ended with Wang Liangzi piercing Mo Hua’s skull and tightening a cord around his neck to detain his soul.

• A monster gecko infiltrated Mo Hua’s tent, where Gu Changhuai and Bai Xiaosheng destroyed its physical form, but its Demon Specter slipped into Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness.
• Mo Hua confronted Wang Liangzi in his Sea of Consciousness and learned that Wang Liangzi commanded Wraith Soldiers through the Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching Great Art.
• Wang Liangzi summoned nearly a hundred Demon-Insect Specter Soldiers and ordered them to overwhelm Mo Hua.
• Wang Liangzi explained that Mo Hua had destroyed decades of work raising his Wraith Soldiers and declared that he would detain Mo Hua’s soul.
• Wang Liangzi pressed his bloodied nails into Mo Hua’s skull as the invisible cord around Mo Hua’s neck tightened.

Mo Hua endured Wang Liangzi’s Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching, discovered its Netherworld Coded Document, and turned the tables with his own thaumaturgy. Wang Liangzi escaped Mo Hua’s attack through a second coded document, while his true body prepared a distant curse against Master Mo in Azure Fields City.

• Wang Liangzi used Soul-Detaining and General-Dispatching to bind Mo Hua and inscribed a Netherworld Coded Document in his Sea of Consciousness.
• When Mo Hua recognized the document, Wang Liangzi tried to erase it, but Mo Hua attempted to control him with a command that drove Wang Liangzi to abandon his divine-thought body.
• Wang Liangzi attacked Mo Hua, but Mo Hua survived and trapped him with the Water Prison Technique and the Five Elements Poison Curse.
• Wang Liangzi used a second Netherworld Coded Document to absolve himself, broke free, and detonated his Thought Power, but Mo Hua emerged unharmed.
• In Azure Fields City, Wang Liangzi’s true body prepared a ritual to kill Master Mo from afar, then felt a sudden sense of foreboding.

Wang Liangzi’s attempt to kill Mo Hua with Soul Splitting failed, and the contaminated soul fragment returned to torment him despite his efforts to cleanse it with Golden Core Edicts. At Changshan Military Camp, Mo Hua prepared the army to exploit the chaos among the Underworld Edict forces.

• Wang Liangzi used Soul Splitting and demon insects to curse Mo Hua, but the Wraith Soldiers were destroyed and the link to his Soul Splitting was severed.
• Wang Liangzi invoked Golden Core Edicts and Rootless Water to retrieve and cleanse his Soul Splitting, but five-colored Cursed Power returned as he merged it with his soul.
• The Azure-Faced Commanders mocked Wang Liangzi, and he seized the Azure Chi General and turned him into a Left Path slave.
• Wang Liangzi’s Soul Splitting’s contamination triggered chaos as the Azure-Faced Commanders, demon insects, and Wraith Soldiers attacked one another.
• Mo Hua summoned General Chang, marked routes on the Topographical Map, and ordered the Changshan Army to attack the Underworld Edict forces.

Wang Liangzi’s attempt to cleanse and recover his split soul failed, and the Five Elements Poison drove him to attack the Azure-Faced Host commanders while declaring loyalty to Master Mo. As their camp descended into a bloody battle, Mo Hua saw an opportunity and ordered General Chang to launch a decisive assault on the Azure-Faced Host.

• Wang Liangzi recalled his split soul and used an Underworld Edict and Rootless Water to cleanse it before merging it back into his Sea of Consciousness.
• The Five Elements Poison reappeared in Wang Liangzi’s split soul, leaving him writhing in agony as the Azure-Faced Host commanders watched.
• When the Azure Wraith commander mocked Wang Liangzi and Master Mo, Wang Liangzi seized his soul and made him a Left Path slave.
• Wang Liangzi and the Azure-Faced Host commanders fought amid demon insects, Demon Specters, and Wraith Soldiers, unaware of why they were killing one another.
• Mo Hua summoned General Chang and ordered him to divide the army into three columns and attack the Azure-Faced Host while its senior generals were in chaos.

Mo Hua ordered General Chang to launch a surprise attack after the Azure-Faced Host’s Golden Core generals were eliminated, and the Changshan Army routed the larger force. Wang Liangzi escaped after binding several dead commanders’ souls, while Mo Hua arrived at the untouched altar and examined it.

• Mo Hua sent General Chang to carry out the battle plan and copied the Soul-Detaining Edict and Exemption Edict onto a Jade Slip.
• General Chang led eight hundred thousand Changshan soldiers against the Azure-Faced Host, whose Golden Core generals had vanished, and routed the leaderless army.
• Wang Liangzi woke among the dead generals, recalled killing them under the effects of Mo Hua’s contamination, and bound several commanders’ souls as slaves.
• General Chang confronted Wang Liangzi, but Wang Liangzi fled when he sensed Mo Hua approaching, and General Chang stayed behind as instructed.
• Mo Hua arrived at the Azure-Faced Host’s central camp, confirmed that the scene was untouched, and noticed Wang Liangzi’s Soul-Splitting Altar.

Mo Hua studied Wang Liangzi’s altar and discovered that his soul-splitting ritual resembled Heavenly Ghost Calculation, then ordered General Chang to finish destroying the Azure-Faced Host and pacify Azure Fields. With the city recovering, Mo Hua realized Azure Fields High Person had vanished and suspected someone had warned him away from the trap.

• Mo Hua examined Wang Liangzi’s altar, found traces of his divine thought and poison, and inferred that Wang Liangzi had split his soul to control a demon specter.
• Mo Hua decided Wang Liangzi’s Left Path techniques could help him study Heavenly Ghost Calculation, collected the altar objects and battle remains, and ordered General Chang to eliminate the remaining Azure-Faced Host.
• General Chang led the final purge, and the Azure-Faced Host was destroyed or surrendered as Azure Fields City was pacified.
• General Chang restored order, organized relief, and placed the Azure-Faced Host’s confiscated supplies in public stores while neutral cultivators offered their support.
• Mo Hua watched the city recover and realized Azure Fields High Person had never returned, then suspected someone had warned him and helped him escape the trap.

Mo Hua persuaded Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai to stay long enough to help feed Azure Fields City's starving people, then investigated the city's rotting soil and realized the famine could not be solved without restoring it. The chapter left Mo Hua and his allies facing a worsening disaster with few supplies and no clear explanation for the land's decay.

• Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai asked to leave Azure Fields City, but Mo Hua argued that ending the riots required making sure people had enough to eat.
• Bai Xiaosheng pressed Mo Hua about the deaths of eleven Golden Core cultivators, and Mo Hua admitted he had tinkered with Wang Liangzi, who had killed them.
• Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai agreed to stay for one final task: feeding the city's disaster victims.
• Three days later, Mo Hua inspected blood-soaked fields with Bai Xiaosheng, Gu Changhuai, and General Chang, but he could not identify why the soil was rotting.
• General Chang explained that supplies would run out quickly and nearby regions could not provide enough food, while Mo Hua warned that relief supplies could not solve the famine unless the soil was restored.

Mo Hua investigated the poison ruining Azure Fields’ soil and used a Spirit-Light Lens to identify microscopic, insect-like toxins linked to an array. He concluded that a hidden Rotten Soil Poison Array was causing the disaster and searched the most contaminated land for it, where he suspected an array should be present.

• Mo Hua surveyed Azure Fields and collected samples of contaminated soil and water for testing.
• Mo Hua taught himself rudimentary sectioning with the damaged Spirit-Light Lens and detected pale-yellow, insect-like toxins in soil, water, and dead plants.
• Mo Hua compared the toxins with poison produced by a third-grade Earth Miasma Poison Array and concluded that the calamity came from a related Rotten Soil Poison Array.
• Mo Hua suspected a powerful Array Master had secretly laid the poison array, but he found no clues to its location in his memories of Azure Fields.
• Mo Hua searched the most contaminated land north of Azure Fields City with Bai Xiaosheng and said an array should theoretically be there.

Mo Hua investigated the source of Azure Fields' poisoned soil and recalled Master Zhuang's teachings about the earth's Dao Rhyme, leading him to speculate that Divine Thought could become an immortal will. He tried to communicate with the earth beneath Azure Fields, but it did not respond.

• Mo Hua searched the blood-red soil for a hidden array while Bai Xiaosheng followed and questioned him.
• Unable to find anything above or below ground, Mo Hua used Heavenly Calculation to recover Master Zhuang's teachings about the thoughts of all things and the earth's Dao Rhyme.
• Mo Hua connected Dao Rhyme with the Divine Path wills of gods and wondered whether cultivating his own will could let him achieve immortality.
• Mo Hua told Bai Xiaosheng that the earth was alive, but Bai Xiaosheng dismissed the claim as nonsense.
• Mo Hua pressed his palm to the ground and tried to communicate with the earth's Dao Rhyme, but received no response.

Mo Hua regained contact with the earth’s Dao Rhyme and followed its anger to a concealed underground entrance in the Dead Fields. After Bai Xiaosheng uncovered a Ghost-Head Stone Gate, Mo Hua suspected the place was more than a tomb.

• Mo Hua used a Thick Earth Absolute Array and an innocent state of mind to sense the earth’s Dao Rhyme, discovering its anger and locating its source to the northwest.
• Bai Xiaosheng realized Mo Hua had communicated with Dao Rhyme, then followed him to a patch of the Dead Fields.
• Mo Hua asked Bai Xiaosheng to dig at a specific spot using precise sword techniques and strength.
• Mo Hua directed Bai Xiaosheng to strike an unseen point, breaking a Clay Earth Doll and revealing a concealed Ghost-Head Stone Gate.
• Mo Hua examined the gate and warned Bai Xiaosheng that what lay beyond might be more than a tomb.

Mo Hua and Bai Xiaosheng uncovered a hidden tomb beneath a field and learned that its gate might be connected to the late benefactor Lü Chongshan. General Chang warned them not to disturb it, leaving Mo Hua poised to investigate despite the danger.

• Bai Xiaosheng refused to split open the ghost-head tomb gate, and Mo Hua sent him to fetch General Chang.
• Bai Xiaosheng realized Mo Hua had sensed something wrong in the earth and secretly worried that the young cultivator might possess an unusual connection to dao rhyme.
• General Chang identified the tomb gate's ghost designs as resembling a painting he had once seen in Lü Chongshan's study.
• General Chang explained that Lü Chongshan had died fifty years earlier and was supposedly buried in his family's ancestral graveyard, making the identity of the tomb's occupant uncertain.
• Mo Hua suggested digging into the tomb, and General Chang urgently warned him not to.

Mo Hua postponed opening Lü Chongshan’s sinister-looking grave after Lü Jingxiu and General Chang warned him that the respected Lü Family’s many benefactions made the matter politically dangerous. As Azure Fields City’s Golden Core elites gathered to oppose the grave’s opening, Mo Hua’s imposing presence silenced them, leaving the dispute unresolved.

• Mo Hua agreed to delay opening the grave after Lü Jingxiu objected and General Chang urged him to avoid provoking the Lü Family.
• Gu Changhuai reported that Lü Chongshan had genuinely helped Azure Fields City’s poor, and Bai Xiaosheng recalled receiving relief grain from the Lü Family.
• Mo Hua agreed to wait for a peaceful discussion, though he privately considered sneaking in to open the grave.
• The next day, dozens of Golden Core cultivators gathered at the Azure Fields Directorate to defend the Lü Family and oppose opening the grave.
• Mo Hua took the elevated seat and released an imposing aura that silenced the assembled cultivators.

Mo Hua rejected the Lü Family and Azure Fields City gentry’s pleas and insisted on opening the mysterious tomb, regardless of who was buried there. After General Chang revealed that Lü Chongshan had once read a book called the Spirit Cause Scripture, Mo Hua wondered how it related to Karma and the Azure Fields State Boundary.

• Lü Jingxiu and the local Golden Core cultivators argued that the tomb should remain closed, claiming it might belong to Great Benefactor Lü and that he had sacrificed himself to protect his descendants and Azure Fields City.
• Mo Hua acknowledged that opening the tomb might seem like bullying and could bring retribution, but declared that he would excavate it regardless of who was buried inside.
• General Chang backed Mo Hua’s authority and asked why he needed to open the tomb; Mo Hua clarified that he meant the tomb he had found, not necessarily the Lü Family’s grave.
• Mo Hua asked General Chang about Lü Chongshan’s Karma studies, and General Chang recalled seeing him read an old book titled the Spirit Cause Scripture.
• Bai Xiaosheng and Gu Changhuai said they had never heard of the Spirit Cause Scripture, leaving Mo Hua to wonder how it connected to Karma and the Azure Fields State Boundary.

Mo Hua responded to the local clans’ campaign against opening Great Benefactor Lü’s tomb by arresting their relatives and demanding ransoms to fund the Changshan Army. After weakening their resistance, he drafted a proclamation that framed opening and relocating the tomb as an act of compassion and a way to preserve Azure Fields City’s safety.

• Gu Changhuai explained that local clans and gentry had deep roots and may have secretly profited while Azure Fields grew impoverished.
• The local clans stirred up protests and rumors against Mo Hua and blocked access to Great Benefactor Lü’s tomb with crowds of starving people and disaster victims.
• Mo Hua ordered General Chang to arrest clan troublemakers and selected descendants, then demand spirit stones or supplies as ransoms to raise military funds.
• The clans paid to free their relatives, and their resistance to Mo Hua’s plan to excavate the tomb diminished.
• Mo Hua wrote a proclamation praising Great Benefactor Lü and presenting the tomb’s relocation as a compassionate act that would preserve the city’s feng shui.
