• Shen Anran urged Cang Yinyue to act before others gained the advantage, then grabbed her and said she was making things difficult for her.

Li Musheng found a hidden cavern beneath a Taoist temple after Big Black Cat vanished inside it.

• The bald old man led Li Musheng, Big Black Cat, and the Hidden Kill Pavilion's Saint Assassin to a massive stone mountain he identified as the tomb.
• Li Musheng used the Soul-Seizing Technique on the bald old man and learned that the White Tiger Divine Hall had taken the Hidden Kill Pavilion's former Pavilion Master.
• Li Musheng discovered from the bald old man's memories that the White Tiger Divine Hall had secretly guarded the tomb, then wondered how to enter as Big Black Cat approached the stone mountain.

Li Musheng used the White Tiger's Fang and Big Black Cat's White Tiger Baleful Fate to open the Tomb of the White Emperor. He entered with Big Black Cat, the Hidden Kill Pavilion's Kill Saint, and the hairless old man, leaving them to explore the tomb under his warning to share any treasures.

• Li Musheng revealed the White Tiger's Fang and drove it into the stone mountain, uncovering the Tomb of the White Emperor's gate.

Li Musheng and his companions discovered a vast underground city resembling White Emperor City beneath the crystal floor. Believing it to be White King's burial grounds, they split up to search it for the tomb and the White Tiger's burial site.

• Li Musheng's group crossed the seemingly endless crystal cavern, and the hairless old man suspected they were still in the outer reaches of the Tomb of the White Emperor.
• Big Black Cat indicated that something lay beneath the crystal floor, so Li Musheng split the ground open with a single strike.
• Li Musheng, the Hidden Kill Pavilion's Killing Saint, and the hairless old man descended beneath the crystals and found a deserted underground city resembling White Emperor City.
• The Hidden Kill Pavilion's Killing Saint wondered whether the city was White King's true burial place, while Li Musheng realized searching its vast expanse could take a long time.
• Li Musheng told the other two to search separately and report any discoveries, then headed into the city with Big Black Cat as they flew toward different areas.

Li Musheng and Big Black Cat searched White Emperor City, where Big Black Cat absorbed energy from four jade cases and grew much stronger. After the maps pointed them toward another location, Li Musheng saw the hairless old man fleeing a swarm of Yin Stingers and demanded to know whether he had found anything.

• Li Musheng followed Big Black Cat to a palace, where they found a skeleton guardian, a jade case, and a map of White Emperor City.

• Li Musheng and Big Black Cat found three more palaces and combined their maps to reveal a direction within the city.
• A swarm of Yin Stingers pursued the hairless old man, who called for Li Musheng's help and admitted he had found something.
• Li Musheng refused to help for free and told the hairless old man he would not act without compensation.

Li Musheng rescued the hairless old man, took the mechanism box he had found, and followed the parchment to a white jade tower whose strange power froze everyone except Li Musheng. The next morning, White Cloud Fairy sent Earth-Attracting Ancestor to the Tomb of the White Emperor in her place, and he questioned whether she feared he would betray her.

• Li Musheng pulled the hairless old man away from the Yin Stingers, took his mechanism box, and ordered him to open it within one shichen.

• White Cloud Fairy gave Earth-Attracting Ancestor a token and sent him to the Tomb of the White Emperor, asking for half of any treasure he found.
• Earth-Attracting Ancestor asked White Cloud Fairy whether she feared he would kill her and take the token for himself.

Earth-Attracting Ancestor joined Green Mountain Tower’s expedition to the Tomb of the White Emperor after White Cloud Fairy withdrew. The group reached the tomb’s entrance, where Green Mountain Tower’s master opened the gate with a White Tiger’s Fang, and Prince Xun revealed that more than one fang existed.

• Earth-Attracting Ancestor questioned how Green Mountain Tower’s master had obtained the fang, and Prince Xun told him it was not the same fang held by Li Musheng.

• Prince Xun told Earth-Attracting Ancestor that White Tiger's Fangs were not unique and that he had come seeking the Heavenly Army Tiger Tally.

• The Sixth Patriarch sensed that others had entered the tomb, and a shrill howl suddenly echoed through the underground city.

The Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan saw a Golden Fang Sky Bird phantom appear over a distant mechanism in the underground White Emperor City, suggesting another group had entered the Tomb of the White Emperor. As the elders considered investigating the possible treasure, Sixth Ancestor asked A Xiu for her view, and the clan set out to look at the site.

• The three elders and the master of Green Mountain Tower identified the Golden Fang Sky Bird phantom and concluded that others had entered the Tomb of the White Emperor.

• Sixth Ancestor proposed going to inspect the Golden Fang Sky Bird's location, and the group prepared to move.

Golden Vajra Fourth was trapped by the Golden Fang Sky Bird mechanism while secretly standing over a supreme martial treasure. A blue-clad youth arrived with six Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts, recognized something at a broken stone stele, and hinted that he knew what the site concealed.

• The Sixth Ancestor sent Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts to investigate the Golden Fang Sky Bird, and the blue-clad youth followed with the Fifth Ancestor’s permission.
• Jianghu experts gathered around the martial training ground and found Golden Vajra Fourth trapped beneath the Golden Fang Sky Bird phantom; he asked for help while hiding the treasure beneath his feet.
• The six Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts arrived with the blue-clad youth, drawing suspicion from Dragon Cave Old Ghost, Shangguan Yan, and the Earth-Attracting Ancestor.
• The blue-clad youth studied the ground and a half-destroyed stone stele, then ordered the six clan experts to retreat thirty zhang.
• The blue-clad youth told the gathered experts that he knew what treasure the mechanism guarded, and a red-haired old woman challenged him to explain.

A blue-robed youth revealed that the Mountain-Turning Seal, the White King's legendary divine weapon, was hidden beneath the arena, prompting several top martial arts experts to attack Golden Vajra Fourth. Their assault awakened a terrifying force that overturned the ground, buried Golden Vajra Fourth, and revealed a jet-black brush rest.

• The blue-robed youth identified the Mountain-Turning Seal beneath the arena and pointed to Golden Vajra Fourth as the one who knew about it.
• The red-haired old woman and several top martial arts experts attacked the arena to uncover the weapon, but found nothing beneath the rubble.
• The experts turned on Golden Vajra Fourth, who raised a golden bell barrier to defend himself from their combined assault.
• The blue-robed youth withdrew beside the six Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts while Shangguan Yan and the Earth-Attracting Ancestor watched without intervening.
• A force erupted beneath Golden Vajra Fourth, overturned the ground, and buried him as a jet-black brush rest appeared in his place.

The Mountain-Turning Seal emerged in the underground White Emperor City, drawing the attention of the gathered top martial artists. An azure-robed youth activated it and sent it hurtling skyward, prompting the others to pursue and fight for it.

• The top martial artists recognized the Mountain-Turning Seal, while Jin Gang Fourth remained pinned beneath it.
• The azure-robed youth secretly gathered true qi and formed seals to activate the divine weapon.
• The Mountain-Turning Seal rose, released dark radiance, and spread its gravity across the underground White Emperor City.
• The azure-robed youth nearly exhausted his cultivation and could not fully control the seal.
• The Mountain-Turning Seal shot skyward, and the red-haired old woman and the other top martial artists launched themselves after it.

After the Mountain-Turning Seal vanished, the green-clad youth suspected the White Tiger Divine Hall had seized it and returned with the Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts to report the matter. Then four pillars of light illuminated underground White Emperor City, and a voice attributed to the White King warned that intruders who were not his descendants would suffer calamity and become his burial companions.

• Shangguan Yan, the Earth-Attracting Ancestor, and the other martial arts experts pursued the vanished Mountain-Turning Seal while Golden Vajra Fourth escaped from underground.

• The White King's voice warned that only his descendants could enter his tomb and threatened to make all other intruders his burial companions.

The Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan elders concluded that the White Tiger Divine Hall had activated the Tomb of the White Emperor’s mechanisms to drive away intruders. They chose to avoid competing for treasures and hide until the star-chart compass revealed their target.

• The top martial artists continued chasing the Mountain-Turning Seal despite the strange phenomena and the White King’s voice.
• The blue-robed youth returned with the six Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan experts and told the elders that the White Tiger Divine Hall had likely triggered the tomb’s mechanisms.

• The Sixth Ancestor told the clan to prioritize its revival plan and avoid pursuing treasures unless they were vital.
• The Seventh Ancestor ordered the clan members to conceal themselves until the compass’s star chart revealed the target’s position, and they withdrew into nearby streets and alleys.

The White Emperor City’s mechanisms awakened, unleashing poisonous creatures and ancient beast phantoms as the White Tiger Divine Hall’s threat became real. The Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan’s Star Map Compass began revealing the Morning Star’s coordinates, and the Sixth Ancestor decided to approach Li Musheng in person if they met him.

• The Green Mountain Tower Master hid his experts while other martial artists headed toward the four pillars of light to investigate possible treasures.
• The pillars’ radiance triggered strange city mechanisms, and poisonous creatures poured out to hunt the people inside the underground White Emperor City.
• Phantoms of ancient birds and beasts appeared across the city, prompting the Sixth Ancestor to warn that the White Tiger Divine Hall intended to eliminate everyone in the tomb.
• The Seventh Ancestor saw the Morning Star’s coordinates emerging on the Star Map Compass, and the Fifth Ancestor said the city’s mechanisms had hastened their search for the White King’s burial chamber.
• The blue-clad youth urged A Xiu to ask Li Musheng to restrain the White Tiger Divine Hall, but A Xiu rejected the idea and the Sixth Ancestor decided he would negotiate with Li Musheng himself if they met.

As the Tomb of the White Emperor revived, its traps and poisonous creatures blocked the experts pursuing the Mountain-Turning Seal, and the weapon’s trail disappeared. The Dragon Cave Old Ghost and the Earth-Attracting Ancestor joined forces to explore the city, while the red-haired old woman suspected the young man in green and led them toward the martial arts arena, where they found several supreme treasures.

• A Xiu doubted that Li Musheng would help the Exquisite Ancient City Remnant Clan and suspected the White Tiger Divine Hall was hiding its true strength, but she kept her concerns to herself.
• The revived tomb city’s mechanisms, secret arts, and poisonous creatures stopped the experts pursuing the Mountain-Turning Seal, and the experts lost its trail.

• The Earth-Attracting Ancestor and Prince Xun of Great Chu agreed to avoid risking everything for the Mountain-Turning Seal and to watch for the prince of Great Li.
• The Dragon Cave Old Ghost, the Earth-Attracting Ancestor, the red-haired old woman, and another expert traveled together toward the martial arts arena and discovered several supreme martial arts treasures along the way.
