• Lei Dong agreed to let Wang Lei attempt to refine an Innate Spiritual Treasure and swore to keep Wang Lei's ancient inheritance secret.

As Kang Prefecture’s cultivators focused on the Heavenly Demon’s coming duel with Fan Quqing, Lei Dong faced the ninth heavenly thunder while helping Wang Lei forge the Innate Spiritual Treasure Myriad Ghost Banner. Lei Dong survived the strike, but the chapter left the banner’s fate uncertain as he asked Wang Lei whether they had succeeded.

• Cultivators across Kang Prefecture discussed the Heavenly Demon’s life-or-death duel with Fan Quqing, while powerful sects prepared to support the Yin Sha Sect against the Supreme Sect.

• Lei Dong met the ninth heavenly thunder with a Black Dragon Chant, weakening it before the remaining force slammed him into the island.
• Lei Dong rose from the crater, charred and naked, and asked Wang Lei whether they had succeeded and if he could see the Myriad Ghost Banner.

Lei Dong survived the lightning strike by using an incomplete space spell and took possession of Wang Lei’s newly forged Myriad Ghost Banner. Testing it revealed that its Nine Nether Ghost Flame-tempered vengeful ghosts were vastly stronger than those from his old banner, and its artifact spirit would let him control an enormous army.

• Lei Dong explained that he had used the Space Law from his Asura Wings to disperse most of the lightning strike, stunning Wang Lei.
• Wang Lei handed Lei Dong the completed Myriad Ghost Banner, and Lei Dong bound it to himself with his Essence Blood and Divine Sense.

• Lei Dong realized the artifact spirit could let him control at least 150,000 powerful elite vengeful ghosts.

Lei Dong returned to Great Ding Kingdom after Wang Lei forged and named his Innate Spiritual Treasure the Netherflame Ghost Banner. At Warm Fragrance Small Abode, he reunited with his old brothers and learned that the Heavenly Devil Lord was due to fight a Nascent Soul Mid-tier woman from the Great Gan Continent, stirring his hostility toward the Supreme Sect.

• Wang Lei named the newly forged Innate Spiritual Treasure the Netherflame Ghost Banner, and Lei Dong promised to credit him publicly once he reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Lei Dong traveled to Great Ding Kingdom, refining Yin Souls along the way until he controlled two hundred and seventy thousand nether ghosts.
• Lei Dong returned to Warm Fragrance Small Abode after more than twenty years and reunited with Zuo Chao, Chen Ge, and Wei Hua.
