Mu Yuan trained the Undead Troops until their Army Soul Prototype, “Undead Sword Tomb,” proved its power, then reviewed Tian Yuan Territory’s expanded map and its nearby dangers and discoveries. The chapter ended with Isroya explaining that an ancient ruin contained a damaged teleportation array that might be activated with the right knowledge or special power.

• Mu Yuan kept the Undead Troops fighting in the Training Field, where their new army soul let them defeat the nuns and Ironclad Giant Scorpions with ease.

Mu Yuan's forces entered a hidden teleportation platform and opened a small secret realm, where they encountered a powerful Remnant of Obsession. General Duo Lai devoured its residual power and advanced into the half-step domain realm.

• Isroya repaired and activated the teleportation platform after Mu Yuan gathered Deathbone, General Duo Lai, and the territory's other forces.

They uncovered a Space Safe containing valuable equipment, a Mechanical Dragon, and half of a map to a Large Recruitment Ground, which matched a fragment from the Land of Buried Bones.

• Duo Lai devoured the Remnant of Obsession and reached Half-Step Domain Realm, though Isroya’s detailed explanation left it dizzy and unable to complete its Domain.
• Mu Yuan realized the Remnant’s essence was safe and useful for Duo Lai, then led a search of the ruined laboratory that turned up only a few damaged materials and books.
• Duo Lai dug more than thirty meters beneath the laboratory and uncovered a durable Space Safe, which Isroya opened with her magic.
• Duo Lai retrieved Soul Crystals, equipment, Rare Mechanical Guardians, an Excellent-grade Mechanical Dragon, and half of a Large Recruitment Point guide map from the safe.
• Mu Yuan compared the map fragment with one he already owned and recognized that the two pieces belonged to the Land of Buried Bones.

After a secret realm collapsed, Deathbone and Isroya encountered a foreign player who pretended to be from Xuan Kingdom and tried to attack them. Isroya sealed him, but a hidden failsafe dissolved him before Mu Yuan could learn anything, while the Eye of Radiant Glory continued probing Tian Yuan.

• Duo Lai's excavation destabilized the secret realm, so Deathbone supported it briefly and led the others through the portal before the realm collapsed.
• Deathbone detected someone watching the group and fired a Bone Spike, revealing San Shang Mu Guang, who claimed to be a fellow Xuan Kingdom player.

• Duo Lai brought back an Outstanding Grade Mechanical Dragon and the torn map fragment Mu Yuan needed to complete the Land of Buried Bones key.

• Mu Yuan's group traveled along the spatial track and arrived in the Land of Buried Bones, where they found many individual Recruitment Points scattered across the region.
• Mu Yuan recruited Skeleton Mages, Skeleton Soldiers, and other troops from several Recruitment Points before stopping when he sensed a monster.

Mu Yuan’s forces defeated Blood Crow by using their Army Soul to withstand her attacks and wearing her down, allowing Duo Lai to absorb her essence and advance toward the Domain level. Mu Yuan then recruited three Vampire Viscounts in the Land of Buried Bones, but found no sign that the recruitment site had been fully conquered.

• At West Ridge City’s recruitment point, Wang Er Teng learned that Maple Lord had secured the Mountain Giant recruitment rights and reflected on his own future prospects.
• Mu Yuan encountered Blood Crow, whose blood arrows shattered Lu Liu’s shield and quickly defeated Duo Lai, forcing the group to retreat from the Land of Buried Bones.

Mu Yuan prepared Tian Yuan Territory for Blue Star’s looming merger with the Eternal World while Bone Dragon Sario reached Elite Grade and challenged Rakshasa. Sario lost their spar and realized that he ranked below several of the territory’s veterans.

• Mu Yuan and Sophia completed the required registrations in Baijiang City, and Mu Yuan reflected on the dangers Blue Star’s merger would bring to ordinary people and territories.

• Sario recognized that Rakshasa was stronger and reconsidered his place among Tian Yuan Territory’s formidable subordinates.

Mu Yuan concealed the celestial signs as Rakshasa and Redclot underwent simultaneous evolution, hoping to learn more about the Evolution Miracle. Both became Epic Ghost Marshals, and Rakshasa continued transforming his spear as the chapter ended.

• Mu Yuan reviewed Bone Dragon Sario’s defeat by Rakshasa and considered the Bone Dragon’s strengths and weaknesses.
• Mu Yuan prepared the Skeleton Graveyard for two simultaneous evolutions, using the Domain Field Disruptor and Isroya’s River of Stars to hide the celestial signs.

• Victor found a well-defended small-town-level territory and used his infiltration ability to approach unseen.

Phantom Victor infiltrated Tian Yuan Territory and discovered its extensive defenses, a Troop Building, and a bone dragon, leading him to suspect the territory was his target. Deathbone exposed him with its Dragon Might, while Mu Yuan recognized that the territory’s defenses had detected Victor too late.

• Phantom Victor approached Tian Yuan Territory’s northern wall and observed its patrols, watchtowers, flying troops, and suspected Detection Array.
• Victor crossed the wall under his Nether Shadow Cloak and explored the territory, noticing its orderly buildings and unusual crops.

• Deathbone told Mu Yuan that only one of the territory’s defensive measures had worked, and Mu Yuan agreed that Victor had been detected too late.

Victor infiltrated Tian Yuan Territory but was forced to flee after Sario and Rakshasa confronted him. His Netherworld Ghost carried him to an unfamiliar ghost town, where a red pavilion appeared through the black fog.

• Red-Clad said she had turned two third-tier War General Grade intruders into part of the Netherworld Ghost Market and looked forward to gaining more ghosts.
• The V-Mask Commander learned that A-Rank Agent Victor had vanished, and divination later reported that Victor was both dead and alive.

Mu Yuan’s forces examined Victor’s corpse and recovered valuable items, including two Outstanding Grade pieces of equipment, while learning little about his hidden base. With Tian Yuan Territory’s strength growing, Mu Yuan returned to the Crimson Giant Tower and prepared to challenge it, where he found other new lords struggling to clear even its first stage.

• Mu Yuan arrived at the Challenge Land and saw the Great Sun Lord, the Luo Xing Lord, and other new lords discussing their failures to pass the tower’s first stage.

Mu Yuan listened as New Lords discussed how Liu MiuMiu used fused skills to clear the Crimson Giant Tower, then entered the tower and led his Undead Troops through its fifth and sixth levels. At the seventh level, Deathbone and the troops faced 1,499 Radiant Spirits and a Heroic gatekeeper who challenged them to see how long they could last.
