Chapter Summaries

Su Yu joined three martial artists at the Body Tempering Hall and helped destroy its four Stone Puppets, proving his strength despite his Sea Breaking Realm cultivation. He chose a spot near the center of the spirit pool and began cultivating the second layer of the Indestructible Sutra, bringing its completion within reach.

• Su Yu met Song, a purple-robed swordsman, and a broad-mouthed man outside the hall, then agreed to help defeat the four Stone Puppets.
• Su Yu damaged the puppet attacking him, then fought two at once and destroyed one with Starfall.
• Su Yu destroyed a second puppet and helped Song and the broad-mouthed man defeat the remaining two.
• The group reached the spirit pool, and Song gave Su Yu first choice of a cultivation spot because he had contributed the most.
• Su Yu sat near the pool's center and circulated the Indestructible Sutra, absorbing its potent medicinal power and advancing toward perfecting the second layer.

Su Yu used the spirit pool in the Cloudsea Secret Realm to bring the second layer of the Indestructible Sutra to perfection, greatly strengthening his body and sword strikes. After testing his improved strength, he saw Heaven Piercing Realm venerables clash in the Ruins and wondered what they were fighting over, especially since A-Ning and the Silver-Haired Woman had gone that way.

• Su Yu cultivated in the spirit pool while Elder Song, the Broad-Mouthed Man, and the Purple-Robed Man eventually left to refine the medicinal power they had absorbed.
• After a day and night, Su Yu drew the pool's concentrated medicinal power toward himself and broke through to perfection in the second layer of the Indestructible Sutra.
• Su Yu refined the remaining medicinal power, recognized that his strength and resilience had increased, and left the pool after Elder Song congratulated him.
• Su Yu tested Six-Form Fusion with the Startling Swan Sword in a clearing and found that his strengthened body made the explosive move easier to unleash.
• Su Yu released Little Red, then saw a golden pillar of light collide with an Azure Giant Palm in the Ruins and realized Heaven Piercing Realm venerables were fighting nearby.
