Chapter Summaries

An Yang and the rabbit demon faced a group of Taoist priests who believed the rabbit was an evil spirit, and the confrontation escalated into a battle. Huang Lan killed Taoist Jinxiu from behind, while An Yang gained the upper hand against Ji Mingzi before the other priests prepared to attack; a gunshot then rang out behind him.

An Yang, Xiaochán, and Huang Lan turned the fight against Ji Mingzi and the Taoist priests, with An Yang using advanced weapons and armor to kill most of them.

An Yang reunited with Rabbit Demon, who tried to give him wilted plants and a dried carrot, while he struggled to explain that he would not eat them. Before leaving with the others, he told Yan Li that Rabbit Demon had been spawned by the slain Six Filth Demon and was not connected to the evil being they sought.

• An Yang stopped the carriage by the Kunlun disciples and explained to Yan Li that Rabbit Demon carried only a trace of evil energy from the dead Six Filth Demon.
• Yan Li accepted An Yang's explanation, and the Kunlun priests relaxed as the carriage departed.

• An Yang’s carriage passed behind the village without stopping, while two Kunlun disciples rode toward it to investigate the Six Filth Demon’s death.
• The Rabbit Demon stayed in the carriage as it passed her mountain, looking reluctant but no longer grieving as though An Yang were abandoning her.

As the Kunlun group and their allies reached the reported site of the disciples’ deaths, unnatural dark clouds gathered and a winding figure appeared among them.

• An Yang read a Kunlun book describing fox demons’ charms and abilities, then questioned how much of it applied to Xiaochán.

A dragon fell from the sky into a muddy pool outside the village, drawing frightened villagers and a gathering of Daoist practitioners and monsters. After Yan Li sent the villagers away, the group began tending to the dragon and washing the mud from its body.

• A muddy dragon crashed into a pool at the village’s east exit, and villagers gathered to pray, panic, and pour water over it.
• Yan Li arrived, introduced the transformed goshawk as his friend Great Immortal Black Eagle, and calmed the villagers as Daoist practitioners and monsters assembled.
• An Yang arrived on a stone giant with the Rabbit Demon, Huang Lan, and Xiaochán, then approached the dragon with them.
• Yan Li warned the villagers to leave and stay indoors, and they scattered back to their homes.
• Kunlun disciples summoned a small rain cloud to wash the mud off the trapped dragon, revealing its true appearance.

Yan Li warned that the Fallen Dragon was an ethereal omen whose appearance foretold great upheaval, and he explained that the current era was headed for chaos. He recognized An Yang as the mysterious figure who had slain the Six Filth Demon and left the group facing the prospect of a demonic crisis.

• As the rain washed the Fallen Dragon clean, Yan Li warned everyone not to touch it because doing so could entangle their karmic trajectories and invite the Heavenly Dao’s backlash.
• Yan Li explained that dragons were phenomena rather than living creatures and that their appearances served as warnings, while An Yang doubted the dragon was merely an illusion.

• Yan Li revealed that all four recorded appearances of a Fallen Dragon had preceded great chaos, including the turmoil four hundred years earlier.
• Yan Li warned that the Fallen Dragon’s continued presence would make the coming chaotic era longer and harsher, though changes to the karmic trajectory might weaken the Heavenly Dao.

An Yang restrained himself around the naive Rabbit Demon and taught her how to wash up and sleep in a bed. After she obediently helped him wash, the two faced the problem of sharing the room’s only bed.

• The Kunlun disciples sent the visitors away from the dragon, while villagers welcomed them and offered food and lodging.
• The Rabbit Demon followed An Yang into his room, and he fought off his attraction because she was too innocent to understand intimacy.
• An Yang told the Rabbit Demon to sleep, but she crouched in a corner as if preparing to sleep like a rabbit.
• An Yang gave her flip-flops, washed her face and feet, and showed her how people slept.
• The Rabbit Demon imitated An Yang by helping him wash, then returned to stand beside the bed as they realized there was only one bed.

An Yang tried to sleep beside Rabbit Demon, then got up in the night to investigate the fallen dragon despite Yan Li’s warning. He inspected the dragon’s scales and watched as ominous clouds gathered overhead, ending with a powerful lightning strike.

• Rabbit Demon cuddled against An Yang in bed, and he reminded himself she was an innocent girl before putting out the lamp.

• An Yang watched the dragon and recorded it as the night grew oppressive and dark clouds gathered.
• A thick bolt of lightning struck down with a thunderous crash.

A Fallen Dragon regained its power during a storm and soared into the clouds, leaving An Yang with one of its scales. The next morning, Yan Li ended the demon investigation and prepared to return to Kunlun to report the upheaval, while An Yang planned to pursue his own studies.

• Xiaochán woke during the storm, saw Huang Lan leave, and followed her outside.
• The Fallen Dragon roared, restored its scales, and filled the village with its imposing aura as An Yang and the others watched.

• During the journey to Kunlun, the Rabbit Demon began sitting quietly near Xiaochán, while Xiaochán tolerated her without initiating conversation.
• An Yang declined the Kunlun disciples’ invitation to go up the mountain with them and took his companions to an inn in Kunlun Town.

An Yang spent his fourth day in Kunlun Mountain’s Scripture Pavilion using his Biological Assistance Chip to capture pages at extraordinary speed, secretly copying the sect’s ancient books into its database. He left the pavilion late at night, exhausted but planning to finish scanning its nearly ten thousand books in three more days.

• Kunlun Mountain arranged for An Yang and the others to stay in a bamboo house behind Yunmeng Immortal Peak while it contacted other Taoist sacred grounds and immortal mountain sects about attacking the demons.
• An Yang rapidly flipped through books in the Scripture Pavilion, using his Biological Assistance Chip to capture and store their pages despite being unable to read them at that speed himself.
• The elderly Scripture Pavilion guardian and Kunlun’s Grand Elders watched An Yang’s strange work, gradually growing accustomed to his book-flipping and his ability to produce unfamiliar food from thin air.
• After eating canned food and roast chicken, An Yang continued scanning books until nightfall, then estimated he needed three more days to capture nearly ten thousand books.
• An Yang rested his strained eyes and left the Scripture Pavilion late at night, where he took in Kunlun Mountain’s star-filled sky.
