As the united cultivators wounded it, Long Ling realized the beast was a dead object animated by the mysterious Ancient Coffin, leaving their apparent victory in doubt.

Long Ling and her companions watched as black-cloaked attackers ambushed cultivators near Yuan Magnetic Mountain, then ancient tombs emerged and released hordes of resentful spirits. A group found and chanted a purification incantation, but the runes fed a blood-red flower bud hidden in a tomb, leaving Long Ling and Azure Wave Fairy wary of a greater threat.

After the Nether Spring Spirit dragged away a blood pool, a Five-Colored Altar appeared and transported the cultivators into a vision of the Ancient Great Sect’s downfall.

• The ancient stele vanished, and the grave mound exploded, releasing the Yellow Spring Flower and its fruits, which spawned insects that invaded cultivators and turned them into zombies.
• The insects spread across Yuan Magnetic Mountain as the restrictive seal shattered, forcing the cultivators to fight the insects and their mutated former companions.
• Azure Wave Fairy found the Yellow Spring Flower’s roots, and she and Long Ling refined an antidote that gradually restored the zombies’ consciousness.
• Long Ling ordered Qin Cang and Chi Lian to use willow branches and the Three Lights Divine Fire to restrain and burn zombies that could not recover.

• As the group prepared to enter the cavern, an ancient chanting voice came from within.

The Heaven-Piercing Ancient Tree opened its hidden space, where a revived statue announced a forty-nine-day trial to gather Ancient Talismans and earn a place among the top five. As rival factions began fighting across the forest, Long Ling and Hei Feng watched from a mountain, waiting for the others to exhaust themselves.
