Xu Yi used a carefully worded Heart Oath to persuade Mu Shentong to bargain with the five other ancestors, then revealed that he still had the Boundary Tablet and refused to hand it over.

As War Son of Heaven and Mu Shentong were constrained by their Heart Oaths, Zhou offered the boundary stele to anyone who would protect him.

There, he recognized the Boundary Tokens and attacked the Cloud Prisoner Formation, leaving Xu Yi’s group facing the loss of Dark Mountain and the tokens.

• Fierce Rhinoceros’s past showed how he had raised a son as his successor, sacrificed him, and gathered blood for a Spatial Shuttle Grand Array meant to return him to his homeland.

Xu Yi exposed Fierce Rhinoceros’s claim of peaceful intent as a lie, revealing that the monster was weakened and trying to escape the Cloud Prisoner Formation before a Major Yin Tribulation arrived.

• War Son of Heaven and the other five Ancestors attacked Fierce Rhinoceros together, but their combined assault left no mark on him.
• Fierce Rhinoceros urged the Ancestors to let him return home, but Xu Yi warned them that the monster was hiding his weakness.

The Nine Heavens Yin Calamity struck the formation, and Xue Zihan and everything inside it vanished as the six charred figures fled toward the breach.

• Fierce Rhinoceros dodged the Yin Tribulation while Xu Yi tried to pull himself toward Zhou Daogan with an iron essence cord.
• Fierce Rhinoceros carried Xu Yi toward the palace opening, and Xu Yi used the cord to drag Zhou Daogan close before a lightning bolt engulfed them.

Xu Yi returned to Futuo Mountain after surviving the yin tribulation, recovering from his injuries and reuniting with Yan Zi and Yuan Qinghua. As he examined his body, a sudden sensation suggested a change in his Vengeful Embryo, and Yuan Qinghua suspected Xu Yi had an ulterior motive for treating him so warmly.

• Xu Yi flew back to the capital and reached Green Flat, where Yan Zi greeted him with relief and prepared a feast.

• Marquis Anqing offered Xu Yi an Emberfruit, but Xu Yi clarified that he had other requests and asked him to exchange his Divine Palace treasures for Precious Medicine.

• Xu Yi asked Marquis Anqing to send the recording to the four sects, and Marquis Anqing vowed to make them pay.

Xu Yi arranged for Marquis Anqing to handle his affairs and spent five days studying to reassess how to grow stronger. He concluded that he needed to pursue practical ways to protect himself while working toward Soul Sensing, and began weighing three possible directions.

• Xu Yi gave Marquis Anqing a Sumeru Ring containing treasures and asked him to exchange them, then promised to provide more through Yan Zi.
• Marquis Anqing explained that cultivators were flocking to the waters around Dragon Head Peak to search for treasures left by the fallen, and then departed with the boundary token.
• Xu Yi gave Yan Zi a Face Setting Pill and told her it would keep her young and beautiful.
• Xu Yi spent five days reading cultivation records and refining texts, then judged that his apparent strength would not save him against a Soul Sensing Ancestor or powerful foes such as the Ninth Prince and Xue Muhua.
• Xu Yi decided that improving his cultivation mattered more than mastering minor techniques, while recognizing that he still needed ways to protect his life; he considered three possible directions beyond using Demon Transformation Pills.

Xu Yi learned that his recovered treasures and other payments had brought in a vast fortune, while the Precious Medicine trade had been driven sharply upward by his purchases. The chapter left him facing the costs of continuing to buy medicine and the outstanding loan to Delong Money House.

• Yan Zi told Xu Yi that Marquis Anqing had exchanged more than fifteen hundred stalks of Precious Medicine for him over five days.

• Yan Zi told Marquis Anqing to exchange fourteen demon corpses, including peak-of-Sapience Golden Eagles, in addition to the eight million gold for transferring Zimo Xuan.
• Marquis Anqing explained that demon corpses had become scarce and quoted soaring prices, estimating the fourteen corpses were worth close to a hundred million gold.
• Xu Yi asked Marquis Anqing to exchange the corpses for gold notes first while he considered what he wanted in return.
• Yan Zi suggested auctioning the corpses for Precious Medicine, reminding Xu Yi of the success of his earlier auction of top-grade pills.
• Xu Yi reassured Marquis Anqing that he did not suspect him of withholding the auction idea, and Marquis Anqing left to arrange publicity and said Yan Zi's requested matter was ready.

Xu Yi visited Old Cangtou at the Imperial Library to ask how to refine a Soul-Summoning Banner. Old Cangtou explained the dangers of soul-attack implements and suggested that their flaws might still be overcome, leaving Xu Yi with a possible path forward.

• Xu Yi gave Old Cangtou a hundred and twenty jars of wine in gratitude for his past guidance.

Xu Yi asked Old Cangtou about the proper way to refine a Soul-Summoning Banner and received the Soul Splitting Art, then sought his advice about the Vengeful Embryo. Old Cangtou said that breaking open a Vengeful Embryo was supposedly impossible, but began explaining what it would mean if one did.

• Old Cangtou explained that a proper Soul-Summoning Banner was nurtured with yin souls and could be refined through soul power at the Mid Soul Sensing Stage, unlike tools made by forcibly controlling evil spirits.
• Xu Yi revealed that his yin soul had broken through the Blind Daoist's Soul-Summoning Banner and that he had defeated Ji Jiu in Monster Hunting Valley.
• Old Cangtou gave Xu Yi his self-devised Soul Splitting Art and advised him not to refine a Soul-Summoning Banner before comprehending the conception he wished to fuse into it.
• Xu Yi moved with Old Cangtou to the book-viewing area and asked what would happen if the Vengeful Embryo broke open.
• Old Cangtou said a Vengeful Embryo enclosed the Seven Souls and that breaking it open would be a godlike blessing, despite insisting that it was impossible.

Old Cangtou explained how a Vengeful Embryo could break open and transform someone who survived its formation, then offered Xu Yi information about the Dark Mountain. The chapter ended with Xu Yi realizing Old Cangtou was using his need to find the mountain to draw him into a deal involving Ji Jiu.

• Old Cangtou explained the cultivation process and said that forming a Vengeful Embryo normally meant the Seven Souls perished and the body died.
• Xu Yi revealed that someone he knew had formed a Vengeful Embryo and survived, prompting Old Cangtou to ask for the senior's name; Xu Yi refused to disclose it.
• Old Cangtou compared the survivor to Liu Sheng and theorized that the Seven Souls remained, allowing the soul to command them and unite with the spirit.
• Old Cangtou warned that breaking open the Vengeful Embryo would send Baleful Intent surging through the extraordinary meridians and eight vessels, testing the person's spirit.
• Old Cangtou offered Xu Yi another stroke of fortune, but Xu Yi refused to hear it because he suspected it involved killing Ji Jiu.
• Old Cangtou said he would tell Xu Yi where the Dark Mountain was, noting that Xu Yi's boundary token and his need to find the mountain made the information valuable.
