Chapter Summaries

Qin Yang impersonated Ye Xingyun to pass through the restriction and entered the ancient ground. He found Ye Household cultivators fighting over the Spiritual Blood Divine Iron and Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and waited for a chance to claim them.

• Qin Yang learned that a Ye Household identity token could bypass the restriction, then disguised himself as Ye Xingyun and took his token and clothes.
• Qin Yang hid the powerless Ye Xingyun and Ye Kong, crossed the restriction, and met Ye Qi, who believed he was Ye Xingyun.
• Ye Qi told Qin Yang that the Nascent Soul True Persons were battling deeper inside and that a hidden treasury had yielded Spiritual Blood Divine Iron and a Heavenly Spirit Pearl.
• Qin Yang reached the treasury and saw four Ye Household fighters battling the Heavenly Talisman Sect and Six Gods Sacred Sect over the treasures.
• Qin Yang considered using the divine iron to improve his Innate Sword Embryo and the pearl to advance his cultivation, and judged that he could contend with ninth-layer Core Formation cultivators.

Qin Yang watched the Ye Household, the Heavenly Talisman Sect, and the Six Gods Sacred Sect battle over the Spiritual Blood Divine Iron and Heavenly Spirit Pearl while learning about their methods and leaders. As the fighting remained evenly matched, Lu Cheng announced that he would reveal his true strength against Ye Huatian.

• The four Ye Household sons fought the other factions with their Purple Moon Soaring Skill, while Qin Yang recognized Ye Huatian and assessed the group's strength.
• Ye Qi explained that the Heavenly Talisman Sect's Lu Cheng and He Yu wielded formidable Talisman Dao methods that kept Ye Huatian and Ye Shun at bay.
• Ye Qi identified the Six Gods Sacred Sect's seemingly resurrected fighter as Di Zu and described the sect's Heart Seed Technique for cultivating mature Heart Demon Seeds.
• Qin Yang decided to wait for the rival factions to weaken one another before making his move.
• Lu Cheng remained locked in a stalemate with Ye Huatian, then declared that he would show the Ye Household his strength.

Lu Cheng and He Yu battled Ye Huatian and Ye Shun over the treasures, but the fight was interrupted when Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan were horribly wounded by Di Zu. The Ye Household fighters remained in danger as sinister flowers grew from the two men's chests.

• Lu Cheng unleashed successive talismans against Ye Huatian, whose Purple Moon Soaring Skill destroyed several attacks but struggled against the rest.
• Ye Shun joined Ye Huatian, while He Yu teamed up with Lu Cheng to keep fighting the two Ye Household members.
• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun used their purple moons to overcome Lu Cheng's talisman barrage, but remained unwilling to surrender the Spiritual Blood Divine Iron and Heavenly Spirit Pearl.
• Di Zu toyed with Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan despite their fighting him together, and sinister flowers grew from both men's chests.

Di Zu used the Six Gods Sacred Sect’s heart-seed technique to drain Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan, forcing Ye Huatian and Ye Shun to attack him. Di Zu evaded their strikes by turning into black liquid and devoured Ye Chongyun, while Qin Yang and the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s Holy Son and Holy Daughter watched his methods.

• Di Zu’s heart seeds bloomed in Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan, draining their souls and weakening their bodies.
• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun attacked Di Zu to save their brothers while Lu Cheng and He Yu held back to observe the fight.
• Di Zu intensified the parasitic flowers’ growth, leaving Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan close to death.
• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun used Purple Moon Soaring Skill to strike Di Zu with two purple moons.
• Di Zu transformed into black liquid, entered Ye Chongyun through the heart seed, and devoured him, leaving a dried corpse.
• Lu Cheng and He Yu were shaken by Di Zu’s power, while Qin Yang watched closely.

Di Zu unleashed the Six Gods Sacred Sect’s Soul-Preserving Heart Demon Curse, but Ye Huatian used the Purple Spirit Mantle to resist it and launched an attack. As Ye Huatian’s strike disrupted the curse, Di Zu answered with another technique: the Heart Seed Demon Embryo.

• Di Zu mocked the Ye Household and unleashed the Soul-Preserving Heart Demon Curse, leaving most of the cultivators struggling to guard their minds.
• Ye Shun reminded Ye Huatian that he carried the Purple Spirit Mantle, and Ye Huatian activated it to dispel his Heart Demon.
• Ye Huatian charged at Di Zu under the mantle’s protection, while Qin Yang remained unaffected by the curse and Lu Cheng and He Yu discussed waiting for the battle to weaken the Ye Household.
• Ye Huatian transformed a purple moon into a heavenly blade that shattered the curse’s runes and weakened the Nascent Soul Power suppressing the area.
• Di Zu vanished into the black storm and launched countless blood-lit Heart Demon seeds at Ye Huatian.

Di Zu used Heart Demon Seeds to kill Ye Chongyun and Ye Chuan while fighting Ye Huatian and Ye Shun, then drew the Heaven Talisman Sect’s Holy Son and Holy Daughter into the battle. Qin Yang watched the three-way fight stall and worried his disguise would be exposed if the Nascent Soul opportunity appeared before the factions fought to the death.

• Ye Huatian used his Purple Spirit Mantle and Purple Moon Soaring Skill to repel Di Zu’s Heart Demon Seeds, but a black lotus grown from a seed nearly swallowed him until Ye Shun severed its stem.
• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun destroyed the black lotus, but Di Zu took advantage of the distraction to absorb Ye Chuan’s soul and blood essence.
• Ye Huatian cursed Di Zu for killing his brothers, and Di Zu declared that Ye Huatian would become his cultivation nourishment as well.
• Di Zu attacked the Heaven Talisman Sect’s Holy Son and Holy Daughter, dragging them into the battle with the Ye Household.
• Qin Yang worried that the fighting would not become decisive before a Nascent Soul True Person brought out the Nascent Soul opportunity, potentially exposing his disguise.

A disturbance on Wentian Peak revealed the Nascent Soul opportunity after three Nascent Soul True Persons shattered Yuanyang True Person’s defenses. As the rival Core Formation groups prepared to fight, Ye Qi urged Qin Yang to help Ye Huatian and Ye Shun with the Ye Household’s treasures.

• A vast Nascent Soul pressure erupted from Wentian Peak, forcing the fighters below to prostrate themselves and tearing open the sky.
• Heavenly fire surged from the peak, and the Nascent Soul True Persons of the Ye Household, the Heavenly Talisman Sect, and the Six Gods Sacred Sect joined forces to break Yuanyang True Person’s defenses.
• Immortal Light appeared atop Wentian Peak, revealing that the Nascent Soul opportunity had emerged.
• Lu Cheng and He Yu prepared to fight Ye Huatian and Ye Shun, while Di Zu used the Soul-Preserving Heart Demon Curse against them.
• Ye Qi told Qin Yang to use their treasures to assist Ye Huatian and Ye Shun, and Qin Yang agreed, hoping to exploit the chaos.

Qin Yang manipulated Ye Qi into handing over the Ye Family’s Demon Transformation Bottle and Sky-Toppling Sword Array Diagram, then activated both against the Heavenly Talisman Sect and the Six Gods Sacred Sect. He left Ye Huatian and Ye Shun believing he was helping them while continuing to plot against all three sides.

• Qin Yang persuaded Ye Qi to lend him the Demon Transformation Bottle and the Sky-Toppling Sword Array Diagram, then convinced him to hand over both treasures.

Qin Yang used the Ye Household’s Sky-Toppling Sword Array Diagram and Demon Transformation Bottle to trap everyone, while Lu Cheng and He Yu struggled to break through. He secretly planned to let Lu Cheng escape toward Ye Huatian and Ye Shun so the trapped factions would fight one another.

• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun bragged about the array’s power and urged Qin Yang to strengthen it.
• Qin Yang increased the array’s power but secretly left Lu Cheng an opening, hoping he would turn on Ye Huatian and Ye Shun.

Lu Cheng used the Heavenly Tribulation Talisman to break free of the Sword Array Diagram and attacked Ye Huatian and Ye Shun with his Heaven-Turning Seal. The brothers survived the strike, but a sinister force swept toward them, leaving them in danger again.

• Lu Cheng spotted a flaw in the Sword Array Diagram and unleashed his Heavenly Tribulation Talisman, breaking apart the Sword Qi that had trapped him.
• Lu Cheng summoned a Heaven-Turning Seal and sent it crashing down on Ye Huatian and Ye Shun.
• Ye Huatian called to Qin Yang for help, but Qin Yang said he was holding off Di Zu with the Demon Transformation Bottle.
• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun joined forces and used the Purple Moon Soaring Skill to withstand the Heaven-Turning Seal, escaping with only minor effects from its shockwaves.
• A sinister force swept toward Ye Huatian and Ye Shun just as they relaxed after surviving the attack.

Qin Yang secretly manipulated the battle so Di Zu and the two Ye brothers clashed, then unleashed the Sky-Toppling Sword Array Diagram’s divine swords against Di Zu and the Heavenly Talisman Sect pair. The final sword descended on Lu Cheng and He Yu, who prepared to block it as Di Zu hoped both sides would be gravely wounded.

• Ye Huatian recognized the fallen scripture as a Nascent Soul Scripture and rejoiced.

Qin Yang obtained the latter half of the Nascent Soul Scripture, then revealed that he had impersonated Ye Xingyun and turned the Ye Household’s treasures against its survivors. He trapped everyone in the Sky-Toppling Sword Array Diagram and declared that none of them would escape.

• Ye Huatian and Ye Shun fled in different directions as Qin Yang’s attacks struck; Ye Huatian lost his lower body, and Ye Shun was refined into bloodwater and died.

• He Yu told the Heavenly Talisman True Person that an unknown cultivator had seized the Nascent Soul Scripture and Spiritual Blood Divine Iron, and the True Person vowed to avenge Lu Cheng.
• The Six Gods Sacred Sect elder expressed interest in Qin Yang, but the Ye Family True Person insisted that Qin Yang belonged to him because he had killed the Ye Family's descendants and guardians.

• Qin Yang realized the Ye Family True Person had caught up with him and accepted that he would likely die, though he had obtained the Spiritual Blood Divine Iron.

• Qin Yang's explosion swallowed everything within a hundred-kilometer radius, leaving the three Nascent Soul True Persons stunned and unable to vent their anger.

After restarting his life, Qin Yang inherited the Spiritual Blood Divine Iron, killed Xuan Chengzi and the others, and refined his Innate Sword Embryo into a low-grade Earth-Tier magical treasure.
