• Chang Yuqing and Ye Bai watched the battle between the White Ten Sect and Human Immortal Temple and concluded that the Great Sect Alliance’s absence suggested a stronger force was supporting the invasion.
• Chang Yuqing ordered the Human Immortal Temple experts to retreat, but an ally of Flan Sain arrived and Flan Sain pursued them as they tried to escape.

• Zhang Rongfang used his Blood Clan Progenitor ability to lull Auduna and began testing whether he could control a Spirit General.

Zhang Rongfang defeated Auduna in the gorge but chose not to use Soul Plunder, then left her submerged in blood and rushed toward the battle at the Guan Du River. There, the White Ten Sect had killed one Heaven Character Division Grandmaster and cornered the remaining Human Immortal Temple fighters as they awaited Zhang Rongfang.

• Zhang Rongfang learned from White Scale that the White Ten Sect was using the Holy Grove array to suppress powerful spiritual beings and withdrew from Ci Tong Wharf.
• Kan Sain and Leimo pursued Zhang Rongfang and coordinated to trap him, while he sensed enemies ahead and behind and chose a route through nearby homes.

Zhang Rongfang broke free after Master Yuan escaped and fled the city as people nearby began chanting Buddhist scriptures.

At Qin Mountain, Yue Dewen and the Great Sect Alliance uncovered a formation foundation guarded by indestructible silver-eyed figures and confronted the Sentient Spirit Pillar. Elsewhere, Zhang Rongfang found Jiu Tong Temple abandoned after a fight and returned to investigate the hidden force behind the attacks.

• Yue Dewen explained that the Alliance had destroyed three of the Spirit Flight Teaching’s five formation foundations as masked followers searched near a lake at Qin Mountain.
• Yue Dewen and Mo Gu Du Ya fought five silver-eyed guards, whose Spirit Rock shells resisted their attacks, while the diggers uncovered a golden wolf-patterned Stag statue.

• Zhang Rongfang arrived at Jiu Tong Temple and found its courtyard empty, with blood traces and signs of a fierce battle inside.
• Zhang Rongfang concluded that a powerful hidden force had blocked the Great Sect Alliance and left the abandoned temple to return the way he had come.

Zhang Rongfang questioned Ye Bai about the Great Sect Alliance’s inaction and learned that its enemies had begun resurfacing while Yue Dewen was rumored to be injured by his own attacks. After discovering the Reverse Time Society had abandoned its contact point, he found a warning from the Heavenly Maiden that the reverse time had come.

• Zhang Rongfang returned to Wu Mountain and asked Ye Bai why the Great Sect Alliance had failed to respond to Citong’s attack.
• Ye Bai explained that several opposing forces had recently emerged and shared a rumor that Yue Dewen’s Martial Arts had gone wrong, leaving him injured whenever he fought.
• A messenger reported that the Reverse Time Society’s contact point was empty, so Zhang Rongfang left to search for the Heavenly Maiden and Ran Xin Yue.
• The maid at Heaven Heart Tower gave Zhang Rongfang a note the Heavenly Maiden had left for him.
• Zhang Rongfang read the warning, “The reverse time has come. Be careful,” and sensed Ran Xin Yue’s bloodline while fearing that something ominous was approaching.

Zhang Rongfang investigated the rumors surrounding the Reverse Time Society and Great Ling’s growing dangers, then sent his subordinates to uncover the truth while he prepared to enter seclusion. A month later, Blood Daoist found documents bearing the Blue Plum Seal but was ambushed before he could leave with them.

• Ran Xin Yue warned Zhang Rongfang that the Human Immortal Temple and Blood Immortal Path might soon have to choose Great Ling’s direction, and cautioned him against going to the Great Capital.

• Blood Daoist found hidden documents in a ruined temple in Gu Province and recognized the Blue Plum Seal among them.
• A powerful Blue-Robed Woman attacked Blood Daoist as he prepared to leave with the documents.

Blood Daoist uncovered that Blue Print Plum was tied to Spirit Flight Teaching, but an ambush left him gravely wounded before Zhang Rongfang learned the truth through a Wooden Puppet. Zhang Rongfang realized Master Yue might be in imminent danger and began considering how to accelerate his growth.

• Blood Daoist fought three Blue Print Plum agents in a ruined temple, but the old man ultimately struck a hole through his forehead.
• A Wooden Puppet emerged from Blood Daoist’s robes and questioned the old man, who admitted Spirit Flight Teaching’s rumors were true before his body exploded and he fled.
• Zhang Rongfang’s connection to the puppet ended, and he concluded that Spirit Flight Teaching’s unreachable headquarters might lie in Great Abyss.
• Zhang Rongfang worried that Spirit Flight Teaching was waiting for Master Yue to face disaster while Master Yue searched for its headquarters.
• Zhang Rongfang asked White Scale how to speed up nutrient absorption, then considered developing a martial art to improve his existing digestive system.

Zhang Rongfang created a blood pool and nine Stomach-Intestine Pill Furnaces to process nutrients and accelerate recovery, then tested the system and fell asleep as his Available Attributes increased.

• Xue Tong arrived at Heavenly Sincerity Palace, said he could not enter, and asked a young master to offer incense to Yujing Hanshi Celestial Lord on his behalf.

Zhang Rongfang gained thirteen attribute points from soaking in his blood pool, then questioned Xi Duli about the Spirit Flight Teaching’s plans. He learned that the final Sentient Spirit Pillar was at Jade Void Palace, where Patriarch Jin Yuyan was, and the chapter left him confronting the danger this revelation implied.

• Zhang Rongfang woke in the blood pool, discovered his Available Attributes had risen from 55 to 68, and ordered Shadow Daoist to bring in the informant.
• Shadow Daoist summoned Gong Shuyin and Yan Shuang alongside Xi Duli, who claimed she had intelligence about the Spirit Flight Teaching.
• When Xi Duli demanded privacy, Zhang Rongfang pulled her into the blood pool and questioned her in a protected chamber beneath its surface.
• Xi Duli revealed that the Spirit Flight Teaching planned to ambush Yue Dewen as he dismantled the Sentient Spirit Pillars, and that the final pillar stood at Jade Void Palace.
• An unseen force tried to kill Xi Duli after she disclosed the location, but Zhang Rongfang’s blood pool blocked it; he then tried to learn about Yue Dewen’s problem before flooding Xi Duli’s mouth and nose with blood.

Zhang Rongfang transformed Xi Duli into a Blood Descendant, then agreed to shelter Gong Shuyin and Yan Shuang in exchange for intelligence on Master Yue, secretly turning Yan Shuang into a Blood Descendant and using her as leverage. He entered White Scale's Void and found the grassland transformed into grass imitations of Heavenly Maidens, which he destroyed with bloodwater.

• Zhang Rongfang brought Xi Duli out of the blood pool transformed into a beautiful, healthy first-generation Blood Descendant, and she left eager to share the transformation with her clan.

• Zhang Rongfang entered White Scale's Void, where he discovered the grassland covered in grass shaped like Heavenly Maidens.
• Zhang Rongfang showered the Heavenly Maiden Grass with bloodwater, causing the figures to wither back into ordinary grass.

At the same time, Saint Dance Jin Ling arrived at the Jade Void Palace and confronted Jin Yuyan, revealing their connection through Jin Hong before stepping into Jin Yuyan’s Absolute Defense Circle.

• Zhang Rongfang asked White Scale whether she could create a lifelike person, then left her Void and climbed through the Great Abyss toward the Mo Sang God Void.
• Zhang Rongfang reached the Mo Sang platform and planned to investigate a less explored area and possibly descend into the Forgotten Abyss.
• Saint Dance Jin Ling arrived at Spirit Void Peak with hidden Spirit Flight Teaching elders and set out to meet Jin Yuyan at Lingxiao Hall.
• Jin Yuyan recognized Jin Ling as a Spirit Flight Teaching threat, and Jin Ling revealed that she was Jin Hong’s mother and had once cast him out of her family.
• Jin Yuyan invited Jin Ling to kill her, and Jin Ling stepped into the range of Jin Yuyan’s Absolute Defense Circle.
