• Long Jingtian heard Xue Zihan's final words and grieved, recalling how he had deceived her about Qiu Wa and sacrificed everything to keep her by his side.

Long Jingtian died after Xue Zihan sacrificed herself, while Xu Yi was left near death in Jingfa Hall. A sentient memory guardian appeared before Xu Yi and revealed that it had entered the river of his memories.

• The guardian explained that it had read Xu Yi's memories and entered their river after teaching him the Nine Revolutions Saint Creation Art.

Liao Chen restored Xu Yi after the Primordial Sword Tooth’s wounds kept reopening, then reluctantly agreed to try to save Xue Zihan. He froze her body with starry droplets, but she remained an ice-cold, lifeless sculpture.

• Liao Chen used the Sheep Fat Jade Pure Bottle and its willow twig to heal Xu Yi, replenishing the bottle’s liquid with spirit stones when the first supply ran out.
• Xu Yi recovered and thanked Liao Chen, then begged him to save Xue Zihan, insisting despite Liao Chen’s protests that she was dead and beyond his power to revive.
• Liao Chen gave in and said he would remain in Xu Yi’s river of memories, asking Xu Yi to live longer and avoid nearly dying.
• Liao Chen opened black holes, gathered more than ten starry droplets, and poured them into Xue Zihan’s head, turning her into a lifelike but lifeless ice sculpture.

Liao Chen stabilized Xu Yi’s soul and strengthened him before returning to his memories, then the story shifted to a little girl riding across a grassland and calling for her Bearded Uncle. Xu Yi remained unconscious, and the chapter left the girl’s connection to him unclear.

• When travelers asked why the world had fallen into chaos, Instructor Hu said the disaster began twenty years earlier and originated in the Demon Domain.

Instructor Hu recounted how the Green Demon’s attack on the Eastern Sea plunged the Demon Race and Northern Sacred Court into a devastating war that left the world in chaos. As the gathered travelers blamed demons for invading human lands, the little girl argued that not all demons were evil.

• Instructor Hu explained that the Green Demon killed the Eastern Sea ruler, invaded the Eastern Sea, and nearly united the Demon Race before the other seas and Northern Sacred Court intervened.
• The little girl suggested the Green Demon’s ability to infect others had limits, and Instructor Hu agreed that its power had nevertheless grown greatly after the ambush.

• Instructor Hu said the Sacred Race used two treasure gourds, including the Void Sky Gourd, to wound the Green Demon King, and the gathered people raised a toast to the fallen immortals.
• The Brocade Robe Youth condemned demons for invading human lands, but the little girl countered that demons, like humans, could be good or bad.

As the Green Robe Knight learned about the lawless world, the Azure Wolf Alliance ambushed the Donglai Merchant Guild and demanded its rare Twin Dragon Grass. Shopkeeper Su surrendered the treasure after the alliance’s deputy leader revealed his overwhelming strength.

• The walrus-mustached deputy leader demanded a thirty percent trade tax, then named the guild’s Twin Dragon Grass as payment.
• The deputy leader displayed Yang Venerate power, and Shopkeeper Su threw him the treasure box after asking him to keep his word.

The little girl defeated the mustached man and claimed the spirit-bearing Twin Dragon Grass, then asked the Green Robe Knight to release it rather than consume it to help her recover. The Green Robe Knight had already recaptured the grass, and the chapter ended with the girl pleading for its freedom.

• The little girl took the Twin Dragon Grass from the mustached man and calmed its two dragon-shaped heads.

After spending twenty years trapped in Jingchen Hall, Xu Yi emerged with the ability to control all Five Elements spirit energy and brought Qiu Wa back to human form, though her injuries remained. He and Qiu Wa left the abandoned Winter Palace World and spent their first days back in the outside world exploring the East Sea’s lively streets.

• Xu Yi found the Winter Palace World desolate, left it after a short stay, and accompanied Qiu Wa through the busy streets along the East Sea.

Xu Yi freed the Twin Dragon Grass and reunited Qiu Wa with the sleeping Xue Zihan before meeting Wei Jun, who apologized for Gu San and invited him to seek help from the Wei Family’s physicians. Xu Yi agreed to protect a Wei Family elder during a tribulation and, after arriving at the manor, asked to speak with an elder who specialized in plants.

• Xu Yi released the Twin Dragon Grass, and Qiu Wa celebrated before asking to see Xue Zihan; she placed flowers in the Crystal Coffin and said she trusted Xu Yi to bring Xue Zihan back.

Xu Yi sought Wei Kaitai’s secret method for healing his sentient Precious Medicine, while Wei Kaitai became interested in Xu Yi and Qiu Wa. Two days later, Xu Yi joined the temporary guest elders assembled to protect the Wei Family Patriarch during his tribulation.

• Wei Kaitai said he knew how to heal a sentient Precious Medicine but agreed to teach Xu Yi only after the Wei Family Patriarch survived his tribulation.

At Wei Xiang’s gathering, he used a Sea King Gall to test the invited protectors and offer Spirit Stones. Xu Yi’s turn ended with the gall suddenly shattering, leaving Wei Xiang and the guests bewildered.

• Wei Xiang asked the gathered experts to awaken the Sea King Gall’s alchemical patterns, offering ten mid-grade Spirit Stones to anyone who succeeded.
• The green-robed man and the brown-robed elder each lit a pattern, and Wei Xiang paid them before the other protectors tried and succeeded as well.
• Xu Yi refused to test the gall, drawing taunts from the green-robed man and questions from Wei Xiang.
• Xu Yi released a seemingly weak wisp of soul into the Sea King Gall, which abruptly shattered in his palm.
• The guests argued over whether Xu Yi or the gall’s alchemical patterns had caused it to break, while Wei Xiang examined the fragments in a daze.

Xu Yi collected the Spirit Stones after Wei Xiang’s Sea King Gall cracked, then watched Wei Ding successfully undergo his tribulation and reach the fifth-turn Origin Point realm. The chapter ended with Ge Lin arriving to congratulate Wei Ding, signaling that Ge Feng had yielded in their rivalry.

• Xu Yi demanded the promised Spirit Stones, and Wei Xiang reluctantly paid him ten mid-grade Spirit Stones.
• Wei Ding entered the altar and absorbed four Heavenly Origin Seeds as the formation prepared for his tribulation.

• Wei Chong warned everyone as Ge Lin and other Ge Family members arrived, but Wei Ding welcomed them and accepted Ge Feng’s congratulatory gift.

After Wei Ding’s tribulation, Ge Lin delivered news that Ge Feng had been appointed Law Enforcement Hall Master, badly wounding Wei Ding’s unstable foundation. Wei Ding then claimed Xu Yi’s sentient plant was a treasure greater than the Kirin Monkey, leaving He Jinlin eager to see it.

• Wei Ding’s family panicked when blood appeared at his mouth, but Wei Ding stopped them from attacking Ge Lin.
• Wei Ding realized Ge Feng had used the appointment documents to unsettle him after his tribulation and challenged Ge Feng to reveal himself.
• Ge Feng arrived with He Jinlin, who questioned Wei Ding about his lack of joy over his appointment as Deputy Hall Master.

• Ling Ao Shangren spotted Qiu Wa and tried to snatch her, but Wei Ding, He Jinlin, Ge Feng, and others stopped his attack.

• Wei Kaitai tried to rally the western branch, but a senior elder condemned him for bringing outsiders into the family dispute.

• Wei Ding died after Xu Yi used the Spirit Severing Finger, leaving the Wei Family stunned.
• He Jinlin attacked Xu Yi with the Black Heaven Ruler, but Xu Yi caught and shattered it with the Void-Splitting Hand.

• Xu Yi agreed to spare He Jinlin because Wei Kaitai was useful, but warned Wei Kaitai not to waste his time.
• He Jinlin, Ling Ao Shangren, and Ge Feng offered their own plant expertise, and Wei Kaitai defended his value by explaining how he had identified the Wood Spirit.
