After a month of training, Wu Yun reached the initial Creation Stage, Lin Dong obtained the Great Sun Thunder Body, and the brothers headed for Thunder Source Mountain to temper their bodies with lightning.

• Wu Yun had Lin Dong and Little Mink decide who would be second brother through rock-paper-scissors, and Lin Dong won after throwing rock three times.
• Wu Yun showed the group a map locating the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in Great Desolation County and decided they would leave after saying farewell to their families.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong rescued Bai Yun and Xiao Yan from the Di Family, then learned that the Di and Liu Families were targeting a Thunder Source Crystal Beast on Thunder Source Mountain. After locating the beast and discovering it was nearing a major breakthrough, they decided to wait for it to weaken before making their move.

• Xiao Yan defeated a Demonic Crocodile Leopard, then fought off Di Yun’s men when they tried to capture him as a mount.
• Bai Yun arrived and overwhelmed the attackers, but Di Teng intervened and cautiously tried to withdraw with his son.

• Wu Yun learned from Little Mink that the Di and Liu Families were pursuing a Thunder Source Crystal Beast for the Thunder Source inside its body.
• Wu Yun and Lin Dong secretly located the beast beneath a lightning-lit mountain and decided to let the two families weaken it before they acted.

• Wu Yun's purple-silver blade cut through Di Teng and Liu Kui, killing them and wiping out the Di and Liu families after the Thunder Source Crystal Beast had fallen.
• Wu Yun said he had found the Thunder Spirit Heavenly Blade among shattered boulders, while Lin Dong and Little Mink doubted his explanation.

• Little Mink told Lin Dong that Wu Yun's past-life plans might explain the Ancestral Talisman map, the Ancient Tomb Residence, and the blade on Thunder Source Mountain.
• Lin Dong wondered whether Wu Yun had arranged his own and Little Mink's past, but Little Mink said they should avoid probing his secrets and value his friendship.
• Lin Dong agreed that Wu Yun had always treated them generously.

Wu Yun’s attempt to draw down manageable lightning with a Lightning Attraction Array instead triggered a blast that flattened Thunder Source Mountain. The brothers found Thunder Tribulation Liquid among the ruins, and Little Mink and Lin Dong became more convinced that Wu Yun’s supposed accidents concealed a deeper plan.

• Wu Yun named his new blade Lingyun and gave the Thunder Source to Lin Dong, who used it to complete his Copper Thunder Body and advance to a Five Seal Talismancer.
• Xiao Yan devoured the Thunder Source Crystal Beast’s corpse and emerged stronger, with crystal armor and thunder wings.
• Wu Yun carved a Lightning Attraction Array at the summit, but it drew down a massive lightning strike that destroyed Thunder Source Mountain and forced Wu Yun, Lin Dong, Little Mink, and the others to flee.
• Wu Yun gathered purple droplets from the ruins, and Little Mink identified them as Thunder Tribulation Liquid, a rare treasure that could temper the body and strengthen lightning-based abilities.
• Little Mink praised Wu Yun for obtaining the treasure, while Wu Yun insisted the destruction and discovery had been accidental; Lin Dong remained unconvinced, and Wu Yun proposed that they absorb the liquid.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong refined Thunder Tribulation Liquid as they traveled toward Mist Forest, where Wu Yun searched for the location needed to trigger his sign-in. After fighting through the forest’s insect barrier, Wu Yun reached its hidden center and received the Body Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books.

• Wu Yun refined a drop of Thunder Tribulation Liquid, then gave drops to Lin Dong and Lingyun to strengthen them.
• Wu Yun and Lin Dong entered Mist Forest, where dense mist blocked their vision and spiritual power, and followed the Spirit Gathering Rune toward a concentration of Primal Force.
• Bai Yun’s bloodline aura deterred nearby Demon Beasts, but the group encountered a swamp guarded by Leopard Demon Crocodiles and chose to skirt its edge.
• A huge swarm of poisonous black beetles attacked Wu Yun and Lin Dong in the mist, so the brothers combined their Creation Talisman Arrays and forced their way through.
• Wu Yun and Lin Dong broke through the insect barrier into Mist Forest’s hidden center, where Wu Yun’s sign-in succeeded and rewarded him with the Body Book.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong escaped the insect swarm into a sealed chamber containing a vast pool of Yang Yuan Liquid, a powerful foundation-building treasure. Little Mink explained its benefits, and the group prepared to claim the discovery.

• Wu Yun received the Body Book, which revealed six principles behind twelve Supreme Immortal Physiques and many other powerful constitutions.
• Wu Yun used the Original Boundary Talisman Script to breach the inner energy barrier, and he, Lin Dong, Little Mink, and Er Hu entered the chamber.
• Little Mink identified the golden pool as Yang Yuan Liquid accumulated over at least a thousand years and explained that it was purified, gentle Yang energy.
• Wu Yun joked that the chamber’s ancient planner might have prepared the opportunity for them, while Little Mink assumed Wu Yun himself was the mastermind.
• Little Mink explained that Yang Yuan Liquid could transform bodies, improve cultivation talent, and build a supreme foundation, though it could harm someone with a yin-leaning constitution like Qing Tan.

Wu Yun cultivated the Body Book’s “Turbid” character in the Yang Yuan Pool, completing the Majestic Mountain Physique and greatly strengthening his body. At the bottom of the pool, he discovered a sealed golden egg that had been nurtured by the formation, and the group took it with them before leaving.

• Wu Yun chose “Turbid” for himself and shared the Body Book’s character insights with Lin Dong, Bai Yun, Xiao Yan, and Little Mink, who resonated most strongly with “Hard,” “Clear,” “Hard,” and “Yin,” respectively.
• Wu Yun and his companions cultivated beside the Yang Yuan Pool, but Little Mink, Bai Yun, Lin Dong, and Xiao Yan each stopped absorbing Yang Yuan energy after reaching their limits.
• Wu Yun entered the pool and absorbed its remaining Yang Yuan Liquid, advancing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force toward Giant Elephant Particles and forming the Majestic Mountain Physique.
• Wu Yun emerged with a greatly strengthened, more imposing body, and Little Mink and Lin Dong teased him after seeing him rise naked from the pool.
• Little Mink spotted a golden egg embedded in the pool floor, and Wu Yun determined that a sealing formation concealed the living creature inside while allowing it to absorb energy.
• Wu Yun stored the egg in his Cosmic Bag, left the Yang Yuan Pool’s formation intact, and led the group out after they claimed the opportunity.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong encountered Jiang Lei’s group in the Mist Forest and asked to join them so they could find a way out. Wu Yun recognized Jiang Yinyin’s hidden significance and offered to help her cultivate, leaving Jiang Lei eager to accept his assistance.

• Wu Yun examined Jiang Yinyin with his Purple Demon Eye and said she could not yet cultivate Primal Force but might advance through spiritual power or body cultivation.
• Jiang Lei asked Wu Yun for a cultivation method, and Wu Yun offered to help Jiang Yinyin in exchange for the group leading them out of the Mist Forest.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong joined the Eagle Martial Arts School’s journey out of the Mist Forest and learned that a pair of Mist Leopard Crocodile Kings planned to attack the group. As Demon Beasts approached at night, Wu Yun finished setting up an array that shielded the camp.

• Wu Yun won over the Eagle Martial Arts School members by sharing wine, while Jiang Xue gradually lowered her guard and asked him to protect Jiang Yinyin if danger arose.
• Jiang Xue explained that the Mist Leopard Crocodile Kings were hunting the group after a companion killed one of their young, and she expected them to attack that night.
• Wu Yun judged the camp’s defenses inadequate and offered to protect everyone with an array, then had the group dig seven pits while he prepared its talismans and cores.
• Wu Yun completed the array with Thunder Flame Swords and Pure Yuan Pills, then raised an energy barrier around the camp as he sensed approaching Demon Beasts.

Wu Yun used his physical strength to subdue the two Mist Leopard Crocodile Kings after they broke through his formation. The beast horde watched in shock as he pinned the kings down and slapped them.

• More than a hundred Demon Beasts gathered outside Wu Yun's energy barrier, while the people of the Eagle Martial Arts School praised him for protecting them.
• The two Mist Leopard Crocodile Kings arrived and used roars imbued with spiritual power, but Wu Yun neutralized their attack.
• As the kings and the horde battered the barrier, Wu Yun opened a gap and let the kings charge inside.
• Wu Yun grabbed both kings and pinned them to the ground with his feet, activating the Majestic Mountain Physique and Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force to crush them with his weight and Gravity Field.
• Wu Yun slapped each dazed king across the head, and the watching Demon Beasts collectively retreated half a step.

Wu Yun defeated the Leopard Crocodile King couple and drove off the Demon Beast horde, then helped the group settle in for the night. He and Jiang Xue separately realized her forgotten underclothes had ended up in his carriage, leaving both of them embarrassed and unable to sleep.

• Wu Yun withdrew his overwhelming pressure after Lin Dong and the others struggled to withstand it, revealing that he had accidentally affected everyone nearby.

• The Demon Beast horde fled, and Jiang Xue and Little Yin Yin thanked Wu Yun for saving the group.
• Wu Yun offered the Yin Yang Twin Lotus platform as a bed for Jiang Xue and Little Yin Yin, while Lin Dong accepted Jiang Lei's offer to sleep in his carriage.

Wu Yun and his companions left Mist Forest and learned about the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet and the major powers of Great Desolation County. They headed for Great Eagle City to rest, while Jiang Xue’s feelings for Wu Yun deepened after he flirted with her.

• Wu Yun agreed to visit Great Eagle City, where Jiang Xue told him the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School had challenged Eagle Martial Arts School’s dominance.
• Wu Yun teased Jiang Xue by saying his eyes were pretty because they had her in them, leaving her flustered and increasingly attentive to him.

Wu Yun brought the Eagle Martial Arts School’s young Jiang Yinyin into cultivation, but her hidden power repelled his first attempt to pass on the Body Book, so he taught her spiritual cultivation instead. The next day, he set out with Jiang Xue and Yinyin to buy maps, while Jiang Xue gave him Pure Yuan Pills and they grew more familiar.

• Jiang Lei returned to the Eagle Martial Arts School amid a tense atmosphere and sent Jiang Xue to host Wu Yun and Lin Dong.
• Wu Yun reminded Jiang Xue that he had promised to help Yinyin cultivate, then attempted to pass the Body Book to her; a force in Yinyin’s subconscious struck back and injured him.
• Wu Yun began teaching Yinyin the Divine Movement Chapter, and she quickly learned to project her spiritual power beyond her body.
• Wu Yun led Jiang Xue outside and arranged for Yinyin to keep cultivating; Jiang Xue attended to him, including heating his bathwater.
• The next morning, Yinyin joined Wu Yun and Jiang Xue on their trip into the city, and Wu Yun warned her not to spy on people with her spiritual power.
• Jiang Xue gave Wu Yun a hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills from Jiang Lei, and Wu Yun agreed to use them toward his purchases; he and Jiang Xue began calling each other Big Brother Wu Yun and Xue’er.
