Chapter Summaries

Ye Zhen learned that the Beast Taming Sect had been destroyed and fed the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King, who rewarded him with soul-concealment incantations and permission to choose one sealed treasure. Ye Zhen asked whether the Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill was among the treasures, and the Monkey King's reaction left the answer uncertain.

• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King learned from Ye Zhen that the Beast Taming Sect had been wiped out over a hundred years earlier and demanded news of Niu Xiaotian.
• While Yang Yiguan continued attacking the seal outside, Ye Zhen offered the Monkey King roasted meat and wine to keep it occupied.
• The Monkey King devoured Ye Zhen's provisions, then taught him incantations that concealed his soul fluctuations in exchange for the meal.
• After finishing all the food and fifteen jars of Eighteen Seed Spirit Brew, the Monkey King let Ye Zhen choose one of the Beast Taming Sect's sealed treasures as repayment.
• Ye Zhen asked whether the Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill was among the eleven treasures and, if so, which sphere held it; the Monkey King narrowed its eyes.

Ye Zhen broke the seal on the Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill, triggering the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King's array-induced frenzy, then agreed to search for the hall controlling the prison array. The Monkey King kept Little Cat as collateral and sent Ye Zhen away to find the control center.

• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King directed Ye Zhen to the fourth sealing formation, and Ye Zhen broke it despite the Monkey King’s sudden, painful frenzy.
• Ye Zhen found and stored the Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill, then learned that opening the seals triggered an array restriction that drove the Monkey King toward a murderous frenzy.
• The Monkey King praised Ye Zhen for not taking advantage of his weakness and offered to acknowledge him as a brother if he helped destroy the array control center.
• Ye Zhen agreed to search the Myriad Beasts Hall for the control center, but the Monkey King caught him attempting to escape with Earth Evasion.
• The Monkey King seized Little Cat as collateral and ordered Ye Zhen to find the control center, and Ye Zhen reluctantly agreed to go.

Ye Zhen searched the Beast Taming Sect’s halls for the formation’s central control while Yang Yiguan tried to break into the Beast Spirit Hall and the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King struggled against his chains. Ye Zhen found another hall that blocked divine sense, but a blood-red whip suddenly caught him by the neck as he emerged inside.

• Ye Zhen warned the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King that Yang Yiguan was the Beast Taming Sect’s last surviving elder, prompting the King to fear being forced into the elder’s service.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King told Ye Zhen that elders grew stronger inside the Myriad Beasts Hall complex and offered to delay Yang Yiguan while Ye Zhen searched for the formation’s central control.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King strained against his chains and distorted the Beast Spirit Hall, but the chains’ runes burned him until he collapsed while Little Cat watched in terror.
• Yang Yiguan used an identity Jade Talisman and his whip to keep attacking the Beast Spirit Hall’s gate as its sealing restrictions restored themselves.
• Ye Zhen searched more than a dozen halls without finding the central control or Feng Qingyue, then discovered a northern hall that blocked divine sense.
• As Ye Zhen cautiously emerged through the floor of the hall, a blood-red whip coiled around his neck.

Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong fought a mutated crimson-green giant python after it nearly killed Ye Zhen with its venomous tongue and blood. Ye Zhen exposed its weak belly and disemboweled it, only for a pink female boa to emerge from the wound as Hu Qingtong warned of its venom.

• The giant python caught Ye Zhen with its tongue and flung him toward its maw, but he shocked and severed the tongue with the Soul Shocking Heavenly Lightning and Golden Heart Sword.
• Venomous snake blood drenched Ye Zhen and blocked his Earth Evasion Technique, while the python lunged at him; Hu Qingtong saved him by taking the bite on one of her tails.
• Ye Zhen escaped the blood and attacked the python, but his sword could not pierce its defenses, so he used empowered Kun Yuan Divine Palms to batter its head.
• Hu Qingtong revealed that the python's belly was its weak point, and Ye Zhen knocked it aside and sliced open its belly with the Golden Heart Sword.
• A pink snake head emerged from the wound, and Hu Qingtong identified it as the Pink Female Boa of a Crimson-Green Male-Female Boa and warned Ye Zhen about its venom.

Ye Zhen watched the Crimson-Green Male-Female Boa pair die together, then tried to save Hu Qingtong from the Azure Male Python’s poison. As her poison spread and Ye Zhen succumbed to an inexplicable heat, the two embraced, and the blackness began to fade from Hu Qingtong’s tails; an unknown figure appeared at the hall entrance.

• The Pink Female Boa burst into pink mist after finding the dying Azure Male Python, and the mist dissolved him as its shrill hiss injured Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong.
• Ye Zhen treated the unconscious Hu Qingtong, but the Azure Male Python’s poison spread across all three of her tails.
• Hu Qingtong revealed that she was the Three-tailed Azure Fox who had taken the Crimson Stalk Yin Spirit Fruit and said she had saved Ye Zhen to repay her debt.
• Hu Qingtong said the poison was incurable and began to weaken as it spread through her tails, while Ye Zhen was overcome by intense heat.
• Hu Qingtong clung to Ye Zhen, and they embraced; the black poison faded from her tails as a figure appeared at the entrance to the hall.

Feng Qingyue found Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong together, fled in anguish, and vanished from the Myriad Beasts Valley Secret Realm before Ye Zhen could explain. Ye Zhen returned to Hu Qingtong, who called their encounter an accident, but a violent tremor and the Monkey King's roar interrupted them.

• Feng Qingyue saw Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong entwined in the hall, then covered her face and ran away when Ye Zhen called to her.
• Ye Zhen dressed and comforted Hu Qingtong before rushing after Feng Qingyue.
• Ye Zhen searched the crossroads and nearby halls, but a Talisman Signal floated in place, leading him to conclude Feng Qingyue had left the Secret Realm.
• Ye Zhen returned without finding Feng Qingyue, and Hu Qingtong said their encounter had been an accident and that she owed him three lives.
• The ground shook and the Monkey King's furious roar caused Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong to react with alarm.

After Hu Qingtong vanished, Ye Zhen set out to find the formation control hub before Yang Yiguan could use the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King. In a western hall, Ye Zhen discovered an enormous cache of High-grade Spirit Crystals and prepared to bypass its powerful defenses with Earth Escape.

• Hu Qingtong left Ye Zhen a talisman marker and disappeared, while Ye Zhen decided not to contact her and instead searched for the formation control hub.
• Hu Qingtong watched Ye Zhen escape underground, reflected on their karmic entanglement, and bound her hair into a bun as she walked away.
• Ye Zhen searched the western halls, avoided the dangerous Plant Beast Hall, and found a hall that blocked his Spiritual Sense.
• Ye Zhen entered the hall, defeated an Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King Puppet, took its Spirit Sealing Puppet Bead, and stored its body.
• Ye Zhen found two spirit energy storehouses filled with more than ten million High-grade Spirit Crystals, but his attacks barely affected their defenses, so he planned to use Earth Escape.

Ye Zhen uncovered the hidden formation control core beneath a seemingly empty spirit crystal warehouse and removed its formation flags and talismans, causing the Myriad Beasts Hall complex’s seals and protective screens to vanish. As Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong rushed into action, Yang Yiguan hurried to strengthen his control over the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King.

• Ye Zhen discovered that the two warehouses filled with High-grade Spirit Crystals were illusions and deduced that they concealed the third, apparently empty warehouse.
• Ye Zhen entered the hidden formation control core, removed its formation flags and talismans, and found a Black Jade Talisman within the remaining formation lines.
• The protective screens and seals throughout the Myriad Beasts Hall complex vanished after Ye Zhen disrupted the formation.
• Lan Shuiqiao entered a hall and sent a talisman light into the sky, while Hu Qingtong received a talisman and immediately set off.
• Yang Yiguan noticed the vanished protective screen and sprayed his natal spirit blood onto the golden Jade Talisman to strengthen his control over the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King.

Yang Yiguan used the golden Jade Talisman to control the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King and fought off Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong, who tried to stop the Beast Taming Sect’s revival plan. Just as Lan Shuiqiao urged Hu Qingtong to flee, Ye Zhen burst from Yang Yiguan’s robes, knocked him away, and seized the talisman.

• Lan Shuiqiao tried to ambush Yang Yiguan, but the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King crushed her attack and her Blood Eye Silver Ring Snake.
• Hu Qingtong used the Lotus Cyanflame Lamp against Yang Yiguan, but his Wind Swallowing Beast swallowed a flame and then exploded.
• Yang Yiguan used the golden Jade Talisman to torment the Monkey King and ordered it to attack Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong.
• The Monkey King struck both women and reached for the fallen Lotus Cyanflame Lamp, while Hu Qingtong tried to bewitch it and Lan Shuiqiao transformed into a giant python to save her.
• Lan Shuiqiao sacrificed part of her tail to knock Hu Qingtong out of the Monkey King’s strike and urged her to escape.
• Ye Zhen sprang from Yang Yiguan’s robes, knocked him flying, and snatched the golden Jade Talisman.

Ye Zhen took control of the talismans that bound the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King and challenged him to choose freedom over enslavement. The Monkey King accepted Ye Zhen as his brother, and Ye Zhen gave him both talismans, leaving the Monkey King free and offering Ye Zhen the treasures behind the sealing formations.

• Ye Zhen stole the Soul Controlling Golden Talisman from Yang Yiguan and put it in his Storage Ring, freeing the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King from Yang Yiguan's control.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King beat Yang Yiguan and vowed to torment him for a hundred years, while Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao congratulated the Monkey King on his escape.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King threatened Ye Zhen for the Soul Controlling Golden Talisman, but Ye Zhen revealed he also held the Ink Jade Divine Talisman that contained the Monkey King's Innate Soul.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King explained that centuries of captivity had left him unwilling to live as a slave again, and Ye Zhen praised his resolve before handing him both talismans.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King called Ye Zhen his brother and offered him all the treasures in the nearby sealing formations.

Ye Zhen obtained the Beast Taming Sect’s inheritance and claimed the Puppet Spirit Record, while the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King freed himself from his chains. Hu Qingtong demanded restrictions on Ye Zhen’s use of the record, and the chapter ended with Ye Zhen eyeing the dying Yang Yiguan as he considered compensation.

• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King returned Cloud Winged Tiger King Xiao Mao to Ye Zhen and explained that he had stored him in a Spirit Beast Ring.
• Ye Zhen opened several sealed arrays and found Beast Taming Sect manuals, including the valuable Puppet Spirit Record, while the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King used the Ink Jade Divine Talisman to burn away his chains.
• Hundred Poisons Venerable Lan Shuiqiao tried to stop Ye Zhen from taking the Puppet Spirit Record, but the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King ordered her to stand down, and Ye Zhen collected it.
• Hu Qingtong proposed that Ye Zhen swear not to pass on the Puppet Technique and not to use it on powerful Demon Race members, and the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King considered imposing the restrictions with compensation.
• After Hu Qingtong warned that Ye Zhen was powerful enough to threaten the Demon Race, Ye Zhen rejected the restrictions and fixed his gaze on the barely living Yang Yiguan.

Ye Zhen proposed enslaving Yang Yiguan and rebuilding the Beast Taming Sect, then persuaded the Demon Race that the sect could help preserve rare beasts and awaken ancient bloodlines. The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King agreed to cooperation and assigned Hu Qingtong to negotiate the terms with Ye Zhen.

• Ye Zhen learned that the Puppet Spirit Record could enslave humans and repair his Great Ape Fire Monkey King Puppet, then suggested using it on Yang Yiguan.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King and Lan Shuiqiao objected to rebuilding the Beast Taming Sect, which the Demon Race had once nearly destroyed.
• Ye Zhen revealed the sect's inherited arts and a Wind Swallowing Beast Egg, and Yang Yiguan claimed he could raise and breed the beast with the sect's knowledge.
• Ye Zhen argued that the Beast Taming Sect could help the Demon Race save endangered beasts and awaken ancient bloodlines, showing the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King a puppet as proof.
• The Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King agreed to discuss cooperation and assigned Hu Qingtong to negotiate the terms with Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen finalized a binding cooperation agreement with Hu Qingtong to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect, then prepared to enslave Yang Yiguan and secured Myriad Beasts Valley. He fed Xiao Mao a Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill, and a dragon-like roar emerged from its body, leaving Ye Zhen stunned.

• Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong negotiated the Demon God Hall's terms for supporting the Beast Taming Sect and made Soul Oaths covering their agreement.
• Ye Zhen told Yang Yiguan to recover for six days before he attempted the Soul Locking Puppet Technique, and Yang Yiguan accepted him as his master.
• Ye Zhen told the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King he would reactivate the formations in Myriad Beasts Valley, then restored the protective screen to safeguard the valley and its resources.
• Ye Zhen summoned Xiao Mao and fed it a Five Elements Blood Fusion Pill, instructing it to refine the pill using his method.
• A terrifying aura and a dragon-like roar emerged from Xiao Mao, and Ye Zhen stared in shock.

A faint Dragon Roar frightened the cultivators in Beast Spirit Hall and triggered Ye Zhen’s dormant Black Dragon Bloodline to devour most of his vitality before the roar ended. After recovering, Ye Zhen saw that Xiao Mao had transformed through the bloodline fusion but remained Earth-tier High Grade, and Monster Cores caused its aura to surge.

• A faint Dragon Roar terrified the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King, Hu Qingtong, and Lan Shuiqiao in Beast Spirit Hall, leaving Lan Shuiqiao collapsed in her python form.
• The Dragon Roar triggered Ye Zhen’s second Black Dragon Bloodline to consume his essence blood, spiritual power, and Soul Power until the roar ended and the devouring stopped.
• Ye Zhen replenished his depleted body with spirit medicine and spent four days recovering while Xiao Mao continued its bloodline fusion.
• Ye Zhen found Xiao Mao transformed into a thin, black-marked creature that still had an Earth-tier High Grade aura and repeatedly cried that it was hungry.
• Xiao Mao devoured large chunks of Monster Beast flesh and several Monster Cores, causing its aura to soar.

Ye Zhen fed Cloud Winged Tiger King Xiao Mao hundreds of Heaven-tier Monster Cores, helping it break through to Spirit-tier Low Grade and purify its spirit body. Three days later, Ye Zhen attempted to bind Yang Yiguan with the Soul Locking Puppet Technique and succeeded on his first try.

• Xiao Mao devoured more than four hundred Heaven-tier Monster Cores and advanced from Earth-tier to Spirit-tier Low Grade.
• Ye Zhen tested more Monster Cores and millions of Spirit Crystals on Xiao Mao, but found that only Heaven-tier Monster Cores significantly increased its cultivation.
• Ye Zhen considered using Xiao Mao to face the Demon God Hall's Old Ancestor if he could obtain enough Monster Cores.
• Three days later, Ye Zhen began using the Soul Locking Puppet Technique on Yang Yiguan despite warning him that he had only a fifty percent chance of success.
• Yang Yiguan convulsed and screamed in agony as Ye Zhen performed the technique, and the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King realized Ye Zhen had succeeded on his first attempt.

Ye Zhen successfully enslaved Yang Yiguan and stopped Xiao Mao from slaughtering more Monster Beasts as the Beast Taming Sect prepared to leave Myriad Beasts Valley. After they emerged, the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King departed with Hu Qingtong, leaving Ye Zhen with three crimson-gold hairs and a mysterious gift.

• Ye Zhen completed the Soul Locking Puppet Technique on Yang Yiguan, who accepted his enslavement because rebuilding the Beast Taming Sect was within reach.
• Yang Yiguan warned Ye Zhen that Xiao Mao was slaughtering Monster Beasts, and Ye Zhen recalled the Spirit Beast before Lan Shuiqiao and Hu Qingtong could claim it for the Beast Taming Sect.
• After two days of preparation, Yang Yiguan led Ye Zhen and the others through the passage formation and out of Myriad Beasts Valley.
• Hu Qingtong left with the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King to visit an old acquaintance, while Lan Shuiqiao stayed as the Demon God Hall’s resident inspector at the Beast Taming Sect.
• Ye Zhen gave the Arm-Connecting Fire Monkey King a talisman guide, and the Monkey King left three crimson-gold hairs on Ye Zhen’s hand as a parting gift.

Ye Zhen returned toward Qinglan Martial Capital after arranging the Beast Taming Sect’s reconstruction, but Zuo Xiong intercepted him with news that the Profound Moon Sect had targeted the Divine Sect over Lu Xiao’s death. The chapter left Ye Zhen learning that Fang Lifeng had returned with a large force after the Cult Master refused his demands.

• Yang Yiguan summoned the Beast Taming Sect’s scattered disciples and rapidly began rebuilding the sect with thousands of workers.
• Ye Zhen traveled toward Qinglan Martial Capital atop Xiao Mao, whose strength had grown so much that it had accidentally injured him during training.
• Zuo Xiong stopped Ye Zhen with a blank Talisman Signal after arranging patrols to find him along the route.
• Zuo Xiong reported that Gan Rusong had demanded the Divine Sect hand over Ye Zhen and his accomplices for Lu Xiao’s death and Yu Daqian’s demise.
• Cult Master Jian Qianxiong rejected Fang Lifeng’s first demand and drove him from the Divine Sect’s headquarters.
• Zuo Xiong revealed that Fang Lifeng returned seven days later with a large force, and Ye Zhen asked whether they had attacked the Divine Sect.

Ye Zhen learned that the Profound Moon Sect had united Qinglan Martial Capital’s four other major forces to pressure the Sun Moon Divine Cult into handing him over. After receiving details about the Profound Moon Sect party’s lodging, Ye Zhen set out to act while Zuo Xiong feared he was walking into a trap.

• Zuo Xiong told Ye Zhen that Fang Lifeng and the other four major forces had spent more than half a month demanding that the Cult Master hand Ye Zhen over.
• Ye Zhen learned that the Cult Master was stalling the forces, while Zuo Xiong and Nian Xinghe had secretly helped get word to him.
• Ye Zhen asked about Feng Qingyue and learned she had returned to the Divine Sect before disappearing after seeking the Cult Master.
• Ye Zhen refused Zuo Xiong’s advice to hide and asked where the Profound Moon Sect party was staying.
• Nian Xinghe sent Zuo Xiong the party’s location and members’ cultivation levels, and Ye Zhen immediately departed on Xiao Mao.
• Zuo Xiong warned that thousands of people were patrolling for Ye Zhen, then marveled as Ye Zhen vanished at extraordinary speed.

Ye Zhen raced into Qinglan Martial Capital on Xiao Mao and confronted the Profound Moon Sect elders at their A-3 Spirit Courtyard. After they sent a Talisman Signal to summon Gan Rusong, Ye Zhen prepared to kill them.

• Old Li and Old Zhou mistook Xiao Mao’s incredible speed for the flight of a Palace Opening Realm King as it carried Ye Zhen toward Qinglan Martial Capital.
• Ye Zhen reached the Profound Moon Sect’s A-3 Spirit Courtyard beside Cloud Mist Lake and kicked down its gate.
• Yan Chang, Wu Hanke, and Gu Bufan emerged to confront Ye Zhen, and Gu Bufan recognized him as the man they had been searching for.
• The three elders questioned Ye Zhen about the death of Yu Daqian and searched for a hidden expert, but found no one.
• Ye Zhen urged them to summon Gan Rusong, and Yan Chang sent a Talisman Signal before Ye Zhen announced it was time to kill them.

Ye Zhen revealed his Pulse Forging Realm Third Layer cultivation and used the Kun Yuan Divine Palm, strengthened by his control of Earth Spirit Energy, to kill Gu Bufan in one strike. Little Cat then revealed its true form and killed Yan Chang, leaving Ye Zhen to realize it had gained a new innate ability.

• Gu Bufan attacked Ye Zhen with his Black Fiend Spirit Breaking Bow, but Ye Zhen revealed his cultivation and shattered Gu Bufan's arrows with the Kun Yuan Divine Palm.
• Ye Zhen's palm gathered Earth Spirit Energy, grew stronger as it struck, and blasted Gu Bufan to death.
• Yan Chang attacked Ye Zhen with the Gen Earth Peak Seal, but Little Cat leaped from Ye Zhen's shoulder and tore the technique apart.
• Little Cat crushed Yan Chang with a paw despite his defensive seals, and Ye Zhen understood that it had gained a new innate ability.
