Arc 3The Grand Competition Pact
Lei Dong strengthened his Ghost Soldiers, seized Soul Devouring Shadow Tiger cubs with Ding Wanyan, and helped Myriad Ghost Ancestor force Withered Bone Peak to pay compensation. As the Grand Competition approached, Lei Dong faced Baili Yun again and joined Ding Wanyan and Dongfang Fu at the auction, where Ding Wanyan won a Foundation Establishment Pill and summoned Lei Dong to Peach Blossom Pool.
- Lei Dong defeated Wu Qianqiu, then resolved to improve his defenses and spent a year capturing Yin Souls and refining three Top Grade Spirit Ghosts into Natal Ghost Servants.
- Lei Dong and Ding Wanyan found Baili Yun fighting a weakened Soul Devouring Shadow Tiger, attacked him, and drove him to escape after Ding Wanyan wounded him.
- Lei Dong and Ding Wanyan found and Blood-Sacrificed two tiger cubs, then reported the encounter to Myriad Ghost Ancestor and gave him the dead tiger.
- Myriad Ghost Ancestor took Lei Dong to confront Withered Bone Ancestor, and Elder Tu settled their dispute with one Top Grade Magic Item and 400,000 Spirit Stones while forbidding further clashes for ten years.
- Myriad Ghost Ancestor gave Lei Dong a Top Grade Magic Item and ordered him to place in the Grand Competition's top three and kill Baili Yun, so Lei Dong spent two years raising his cultivation to the early Eighth Layer.
- Lei Dong traveled to the sect headquarters with Myriad Ghost Ancestor, Ding Wanyan, and Zuo Chao, volunteered to fight Baili Yun, and visited the sect market with Ding Wanyan and Zuo Chao.
- At the auction, Ding Wanyan lost the Yin Xia Sword to Baili Yun, accepted a Demon Spirit Sword from Dongfang Fu, and later won a Foundation Establishment Pill for 150,000 Spirit Stones.
- Lei Dong followed a jade hairpin to Peach Blossom Pool, where Ding Wanyan appeared and asked whether he had been angry, leaving him pale and nearly falling over.
