Xu Yi warned Su Jiewu and Lu Wuji that the Feng family’s envoy might kill them after taking their treasures, persuading them that fighting was their safest option. He revealed that he wanted Immortal Spirit Grass and showed them a crystal beast core, leaving Lu Wuji wary of Su Jiewu’s casual response.

• Xu Yi told Su Jiewu and Lu Wuji that the Feng family had no reason to trust them and might target them for their accumulated treasures.

• Xu Yi promised to do his best to help them find the Mysterious Monster and swore he would not return to the Immortal Realm until he had a proper plan.

Xu Yi concealed that he had triggered the crystal-core disturbance with the Azure Ancient Green Wood Banner and urged Lu Wuji and Su Jiewu to prepare for the Feng family's Immortal Envoy. Far away, Third Young Master Feng and Xing Quan searched the starry sky for the hidden passage to the lower realm, carrying a powerful force and hoping to secure Feng family interests.

• After leaving the Void Hall, Lu Wuji and Su Jiewu suspected Xu Yi wanted their exotic crystal cores, but Lu Wuji trusted his oath and confidence about finding the Mysterious Monster.

• Lu Wuji and Su Jiewu attacked the three newcomers, who defended themselves with Buddhist treasures, supernatural abilities, and a bamboo staff.
• Xuanzang, Ka Shentong, and Ning Wanren privately urged Xu Yi to end the battle, but Xu Yi rejected their excuses and accused them of coming for the immortal opportunity.

Xu Yi stopped the Black and White Emperor Lords from killing Ka Shentong, Xuanzang the Old Monk, and Old Demon Ning, and persuaded the three to join forces against the Feng family's immortal emissary. The five agreed to cooperate, with the Emperor Lords in charge, as Xu Yi worked to keep the group united.

• Xu Yi watched the Black and White Emperor Lords battle Ka Shentong, Xuanzang the Old Monk, and Old Demon Ning, then urged the Emperor Lords to use their forbidden moves.

• Lu Wuji, Su Jiewu, Xuanzang, Ka Shentong, and Ning Wanren privately discussed the newcomers’ threat, while Xuanzang and the others realized Xu Yi had used a false immortal identity to gain the emperors’ trust.

• Xu Yi used information from Huang Mei to describe the Immortal Tribulations and persuade the Black and White Emperor Lords that he understood the upper realm.

• Xu Yi and the others pursued the crystal beasts outside while secretly giving Xu Yi nearly a hundred Fire Element Seeds.

Xu Yi led Lu Wuji and the others into a trap that killed Xing Quan, then sent them toward Two Kings Mountain to continue his plan. Third Young Master Feng learned of Xing Quan’s death and vowed to destroy the realm, rejecting Li Qin’s advice to request reinforcements.

• Ning Wanren and Ka Shentong worried that they had become Xu Yi’s appendages as they followed him with Lu Wuji and Xuanzang.
• Xu Yi pretended to turn against the others, provoking them to threaten him just as Xing Quan arrived.
• Xing Quan attacked Lu Wuji and the others, but Xu Yi immobilized him with the Ding Yuan Technique, and their combined attacks destroyed Xing Quan’s body and corpse energy.

• Huang Mei directed Lu Wuji and the others to hurry to Two Kings Mountain, where Xue Kuangye was gathering the power of the Three Realms for an array.
• Third Young Master Feng discovered Xing Quan’s broken Life Soul Tablet, vowed to trample the realm, and struck Li Qin for advising him to seek reinforcements.

Third Young Master Feng pursued Lu Wuji and his allies to Two Kings Mountain, where tens of thousands of cultivators had gathered to resist him and reopen the path to ascension. As the battle began, Feng’s formation and the Eastern Guard’s defenses turned the cultivators’ attacks aside, leaving their next move uncertain.

The fighters retreated when Feng brought out the Dragon Soaring Starry Sky Boat, whose overwhelming blast shattered their defenses and left them desperate for the Immortal Envoy.

• Huang Mei persuaded Lu Wuji, Xuanzang, Ka Shentong, and Ning Wanren to charge Third Young Master Feng together, promising a reversal in half an incense stick.

• Feng’s corpse struggled to break through their defenses, so Feng recalled his formation and the four leaders retreated toward Two Kings Mountain.
• Feng summoned the Dragon Soaring Starry Sky Boat and vanished into it as the boat moved over Two Kings Mountain.
• The boat fired a devastating beam into the mountain’s protective barrier, wounding countless cultivators and prompting Lu Wuji to urgently ask Huang Mei where the Immortal Envoy was.

Third Young Master Feng broke the defenders’ formation by offering them power and a hundred places in the Immortal Realm, leaving Two Kings Mountain in chaos. Huang Mei brought Xu Yi out of hiding, and Xu Yi’s changed, fiercely heated body suggested he had survived a dangerous transformation as Huang Mei confronted Third Young Master Feng.

• Third Young Master Feng attacked the formation from the Dragon Soaring Ship, then promised surrendering cultivators high offices and a hundred places in the Immortal Realm.

• Ning Wanren revealed that he knew Xu Yi’s name, prompting Lu Wuji to question him and Huang Mei to defend Xu Yi’s credibility.
• Huang Mei shattered the drained hourglass, brought Xu Yi out, swallowed the Four-Colored Seal and Starry Sky Ring, and gave Xu Yi corpse aura.

• Huang Mei worried the severed finger might reclaim the energy Xu Yi had gained from refining strange crystal cores, but saw no immediate change in Xu Yi’s condition.
• Xu Yi used his Immortal Spirit Power to refine ninety-five Fire Element Seeds, adding them to his four existing seeds to reach the Nine-Nine Number.

• The Fire Element Seed’s power nearly destroyed Xu Yi’s meridians, but his corpse aura, Immortal Spirit Power, and demonic power kept him alive and began transforming his body.

• The severed finger pressed the Azure Green Banner to its limit, and Third Young Master Feng recognized the banner as the long-lost essence of wood.
• Nine enormous fortune dragons appeared across the horizon, astonishing Ka Shentong, Ning Wanren, and the watching cultivators.

The Azure Green Banner absorbed eight Fortune Dragons, then chased the severed finger away, leaving Huang Mei and the others exposed to Third Young Master Feng.

• Lu Wuji, Xue Kuangye, Ning Wanren, Old Monk Xuanzang, and Ka Shentong combined their fire abilities and strengthened their shield with Xuanzang’s golden body.
• Third Young Master Feng unleashed a prolonged barrage of Spirit Bestowing Thunder, then shattered the weakened golden shield with a bolt powered by his heart’s blood, scattering the five.
