After leaving the Tong family home, Ning Wangshu went to the Ye Family Mansion to meet Ye Chengjun and Wang Xuanyang. His arrival terrified the gathered family heads, who concluded he was likely the person who had killed Ye Nanfeng.

• Ning Wangshu declined Tong Rui and Tong Zhan’s invitation to stay, then flew away from the Tong family home.

• At the Ye Family Mansion, Ning Wangshu told the guards he wanted to see Ye Chengjun and Wang Xuanyang and said his surname was Ning.

• A guard reported that the visitor outside was named Ning, and Dao Xuan Real Person and Huang Yanfeng concluded he was probably Ning Xian Zun.
• The gathered family heads reacted with fear to Ning Wangshu’s arrival, while one of them angrily called him arrogant.

Ye Chengjun and Wang Xuanyang prepared to meet Ning Wangshu while pretending not to know that he had killed Ye Nanfeng. Ning Wangshu entered the Ye Estate, and the chapter ended with him hinting to Wang Xuanyang that they had encountered each other before.

• Dao Xuan Real Person advised Ye Chengjun and the others to act indifferent toward Ye Nanfeng and feign ignorance of his death to protect the Ye Family.

• Ning Wangshu acknowledged Ye Chengjun as the head of the Ye Family, then told Wang Xuanyang that although this was their first meeting, it could not quite be considered one.

Ning Wangshu told Wang Xuanyang and Ye Chengjun that he had killed Ye Nanfeng and Wang Xingyuan, while both men concealed their true reactions. He entered the Ye residence to explain the two reasons for his visit.

• A guard saw Ye Chengjun treat Ning Wangshu with unusual deference and withdrew without interrupting them.

• Ning Wangshu said he had come for two reasons, asked to be invited inside, and strode into the living room.

• Dao Xuan Real Person and the Guangnan family heads bowed to welcome Ning Wangshu as he entered with Ye Chengjun and Wang Xuanyang.

• Ning Wangshu asked Wang Xuanyang what he thought, while the gathered family heads sat in fearful silence.

Ning Wangshu confronted Wang Xuanyang over the latter’s spiritual incarnation attacking him and demanded the Tianxin Sect’s Body Outside of Body technique as compensation. Wang Xuanyang claimed he could not provide the sect’s supreme secret art, leaving his gamble against Ning Wangshu’s knowledge poised to fail.

• Ye Chengjun and Wang Xuanyang accepted Ning Wangshu’s claim that no one would dare harbor hostility toward him, and Ning Wangshu temporarily let the matter rest.

• Wang Xuanyang asked what compensation Ning Wangshu wanted while considering his chances of escaping if they fought.
• Ning Wangshu demanded the Tianxin Sect’s Body Outside of Body technique in exchange for putting the matter behind them.
• Wang Xuanyang refused, saying only the Tianxin Sect’s leader could teach or practice the supreme secret art, and claimed he could not provide it.

Ning Wangshu confronted Wang Xuanyang, the Body Outside of Body of Tianxin Sect’s Sect Master, and demanded the secret technique for cultivating such a body. When Wang Xuanyang refused, Ning Wangshu forced him to his knees and revealed power at the early Body Integration Stage, leaving the onlookers terrified.

• Ning Wangshu accused Wang Xuanyang of hiding Tianxin Sect’s secret technique and demanded that he hand it over.
• Wang Xuanyang admitted he was the Sect Master’s Body Outside of Body but refused to disclose the technique, which only the Sect Master could practice.
• Ning Wangshu explained that he had learned Wang Xuanyang’s secrets through Soul Searching and threatened to take the technique himself and destroy the body outside of body.
• Ning Wangshu pressed Wang Xuanyang down with overwhelming spiritual energy, forcing him to his knees.
• Wang Xuanyang realized Ning Wangshu could wield early Body Integration power despite the All Heavens Seal, and the onlookers marveled at his strength.
• Ye Chengjun abandoned thoughts of avenging Ye Nanfeng and feared for the Ye Family, hoping to calm Ning Wangshu and send him away.

• Ning Wangshu prepared to use the Soul Searching Technique on the kneeling Wang Xuanyang, who offered to hand over the Body Outside of Body technique.
• Wang Xuanyang swore not to retaliate against Ning Wangshu or his allies, and Ning Wangshu required him to swear by his Dao Heart that the technique was complete and truthful.
• Ning Wangshu released Wang Xuanyang, who recorded the Body Outside of Body technique on a Jade Slip and handed it over.
• Ning Wangshu examined the Jade Slip, warned Wang Xuanyang to restrain the Tianxin Sect if it reached the Outside World, and then left.

After Ning Wangshu departed, Wang Xuanyang explained the origins and suppressive power of the All Heavens Seal to Dao Xuan Real Person, Huang Yanfeng, and the Guangnan clans. Unable to explain how Ning Wangshu surpassed the seal’s limit, Wang Xuanyang concluded that he might be a True Immortal who had survived from the Ancient Era.

• Wang Xuanyang and the others watched Ning Wangshu leave and reflected on his overwhelming power, while Ye Chengjun realized how helpless he was against him.
• Dao Xuan Real Person asked Wang Xuanyang about the All Heavens Seal, and Wang Xuanyang explained that surviving supreme beings had created it after an ancient cataclysm, severing the Immortal Path and ushering in the End of Dharma.
• Wang Xuanyang explained that the All Heavens Seal limited his late Body Integration Stage cultivation to late Dividing Soul Stage strength in the Outside World.
• When Dao Xuan Real Person asked how Ning Wangshu could wield early Body Integration Stage power, Wang Xuanyang said that no ordinary method could explain it and considered whether Ning Wangshu might be a True Immortal.
• Wang Xuanyang concluded that, if Ning Wangshu was a True Immortal, he must have become one before the End of Dharma and possessed terrifying power in the Ancient Era.

Wang Xuanyang and the others debated Ning Xian Zun’s identity after Ye Chengjun revealed that he was a young university student with a traceable family background. Wang Xuanyang concluded that Ning Xian Zun was most likely an ancient true immortal reincarnated into a modern body, leaving the group stunned by the possibility.

• Wang Xuanyang feared the consequences the Tianxin Sect would have faced if he had refused to surrender and make a Dao Heart Oath.
• Dao Xuan Real Person, Huang Yanfeng, and the others considered Wang Xuanyang’s theory that Ning Xian Zun was an ancient true immortal.
• Ye Chengjun contradicted the theory, saying Ning Xian Zun was around twenty, attended Jiangnan University, and was related to the Xiao family of Kyoto.
• Ye Chengjun explained that Ning Xian Zun’s records were genuine but restricted because he was a Golden Dragon General of Bureau 95.
• Wang Xuanyang reasoned that Ning Xian Zun must be an ancient true immortal reincarnated with his former cultivation, since his demonstrated power could not have been attained at such a young age.

After returning to Jiangnan City, Ning Wangshu studied the Body Outside of Body Secret Technique Wang Xuanyang gave him and considered using it to separate the Wizard Clan power within himself. He learned how the technique had once helped a Tianxin Sect master break through to the Tribulation Stage, but concluded it would not resolve his own need for immortal energy to become an immortal.

• Wang Xuanyang told Dao Xuan Real Person, Huang Yanfeng, Ye Chengjun, and the others that Ning Wangshu was no one they should provoke and that giving him the secret technique might benefit the Tianxin Sect.
• Ning Wangshu returned to Jiangnan City late at night, reassured Lin Qingzhu that his affairs were settled, and went to study the jade slip she left him to do.
• Ning Wangshu realized he could use the Body Outside of Body Secret Technique to separate his Wizard Clan Bloodline, Wizard Force, and Ancient Wizard Clan Essence Blood from his original body.
• Ning Wangshu recalled how a former Tianxin Sect master combined the cultivation of his original body and avatar to reach the Tribulation Stage, and considered Wang Xuanyang’s similar ambition.
• Ning Wangshu concluded that merging an avatar with his original body could not transform his remaining spiritual energy into Immortal Force; he still needed to absorb immortal energy to become an immortal.

Ning Wangshu studied the Body Outside of Body technique, then returned to Jiangnan University with Lin Qingzhu and Ning Ruoxuan. He reunited with his roommates and went to class, while planning to search for Wang Zhiqiang over the weekend.

• Ning Wangshu studied the Body Outside of Body technique and considered how a clone could protect his family and help resolve conflicts between his Wizard Force and Immortal Force.
