After leaving for the Western Continent, Lin Heng and Hua Qi visited Ye Tian in the Human Emperor Banner, where he confirmed that others from the Third Epoch had found him.

After suspecting a trap and asking after Murong Yi, he heard Ji Taichang speculate that she was the Female Emperor, but Lin Heng dismissed the idea based on how she had treated him.

• Lin Heng returned to Dragon Ridge Mountain and asked Ji Taichang for a report on Western Continent.
• Ji Taichang said thirty thousand cultivators had joined the Northern Expedition and reported a string of rapid victories.

• Ji Taichang said few forces remained and that Murong Yi had returned two days earlier, though he did not know where she had gone.
• Ji Taichang guessed Murong Yi might be the Female Emperor, but Lin Heng argued that she had saved and promoted him, so she could not be the person he had insulted.

Jiang Jingyi positioned hidden forces in the Western Continent while the Immortal Alliance focused on the Northern Continent, then returned to Dragon Ridge Mountain to consider borrowing or seizing Lin Heng’s fortune.

Meng Yutong invited Jiang Jingyi to play mahjong as part of a scheme to strengthen her authority over Lin Heng’s household, while the women’s rivalries continued aboard the Cloud Boat. Meanwhile, enemies in Clear Moon Long Song prepared to capture Jiang Jingyi and Lin Heng, believing their Fortune could give them control of the Heavenly Profound Continent.

• Jiang Jingyi joined Lin Heng and the others on the Cloud Boat, where she and Meng Yutong bickered over Lin Heng and his attention.

The chapter left the trap still ahead as Lin Heng visited Saint Ye in System Space and heard a warning about the vastness of the cultivation world.

• Dongfang Qingxia and three illusory figures followed Jiang Jingyi into the vortex, leaving Dugu Zixuan and the others to wonder whether Murong Yi was a Supreme.

• Jiang Jingyi released Lin Heng from her Cosmos Bag and explained that she needed his Fortune to break the Great Dao Chains; when she raised her hand and told him to kiss her, Lin Heng kissed her mouth and she slapped him for misunderstanding.

Lin Heng realized Jiang Jingyi was a Great Vehicle Supreme as she used a ritual to draw his fortune, declaring that she would burn it to fulfill her duty.
