Qin Yuan joined Zhang Xiaohou, Mo Fan, and the others to investigate the Qinling Mountains, but they waited in town for the dangerous Suo Wind to weaken. Qin Yuan suspected the growing wind was caused by a Wind Element Heavenly Seed, and the group remained on the eve of entering the mountains.

• Qin Yuan reunited with Zhang Xiaohou and met He Yu, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan in town before introducing Jiang Shaoxu, Ling Ling, and Apasi.

• Qin Yuan watched the gathered hunter teams and wondered whether the suspected Wind Element Heavenly Seed lay beyond the legendary Holy Waterfall.

Qin Yuan and his companions waited for the Suo Wind to weaken so they could enter the Qinling Mountains, while he spent a relaxed night with Jiang Shaoxu and Apasi.

• The group learned that Mountain-Patrolling Feather Demons used the Suo Wind to strengthen their wings, while the Curtain Tree sheltered the mages through the night.
• Qin Yuan reasoned that the demons strengthened by the Suo Wind might be guardian demons, making the existence of a Wind Element Heavenly Seed more certain.
• Apasi approached Qin Yuan, and he carried her outside the Curtain Tree and devoured the Suo Wind around them with warped space-time.

• Qin Yuan revealed that he could finish taming the Golden-Blue Sparrow Hawk in five seconds and handed Apasi the task.

• Mo Fan and the others concluded the Golden-Blue Sparrow Hawk was temporarily controlled, while Qin Yuan refused to reveal Apasi's identity.

• Qin Yuan used the All-Element Awakening Card, awakening several patches of Star Dust in his mental world, then walked toward the Sacred Waterfall.

Qin Yuan and the others discovered that the Holy Waterfall was sustained by a Wind Element Heavenly Seed that helped drive the Qinling Mountains’ ecological circulation, so Qin Yuan chose not to take it. Apasi suggested that Ling Ling summon Bailing to trigger the Feather Emperor selection, and the chapter ended with everyone reacting to Bailing’s unexpectedly cute cry.

• Jiang Shaoxu explored the Holy Waterfall and recorded her observations in her brother’s journal.

• Apasi proposed that Ling Ling summon Bailing to satisfy the Feather Emperor struggle’s requirements, and Ling Ling summoned her silver-white beast.
• Bailing gave a cute cry, leaving Qin Yuan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Apasi surprised and Ling Ling embarrassed.

Bailing responded to a presence at the Holy Waterfall and inherited the Feather Emperor’s position from the Vermilion Bird’s phantom. Ling Ling explained that Bailing’s bloodline had been elevated and that it could command the Feathered Demon clans of the Qinling Mountains.

• Qin Yuan asked Ling Ling to find out whether Bailing sensed a calling, and Bailing flew toward the Holy Waterfall.
• Bailing’s cry made Feathered Demons across the Cloud Realm Sky Layer stop flying, while Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan, and He Yu guessed that a new Feather Emperor had appeared.
• Qin Yuan recognized the Vermilion Bird’s phantom as a Sacred Totem, and Apasi hid in fear until Qin Yuan comforted her.
• The Vermilion Bird’s phantom enveloped Bailing in scarlet light, changed its bloodline, and left a crimson flame mark between its brows before disappearing.
• Ling Ling explained that Bailing had inherited the Feather Emperor’s position, would grow without cultivation materials, and could command the Qinling Feathered Demon clans.
• Ling Ling thanked Apasi.
