• The other Qin Guan suggested that Zhao Jianfeng forge several mid-grade mining hoes, but Zhao Jianfeng chose to gamble on a high-grade hoe.

• When Liu Shang asked what the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame was, Mu Lingze asked whether they had heard of the Qi Yuan Civilization.

Qin Guan learned that the Divine Ash Mountain Secret Realm was linked to the vanished Qi Yuan Civilization and realized the inheritance he had received might hold powerful secrets. He brought Bai Fuzi to meet Iron Elder, whose encounter with Bai Fuzi awakened memories of their past lives as Zhaoyan and Huaiwen.

• Qin Guan obtained the Rift Heaven Divine Axe recipe from Iron Elder and showed him that he possessed God-Striking Stone and the other required materials.

• Xing Dao asked whether the group had reached the fifth level, but the ground bulged and a massive crimson claw burst through the bedrock.

Qin Guan and the other cultivators followed the Crimson Crab Demon through a fissure, hoping to find the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame. The Crab Boss instead welcomed them to its inn and prepared a meal from valuable Fire Essence, leaving the diners wary of its strange ingredients and warning that anyone who failed to pay would face the fire spirits.

• A giant Crimson Crab Demon emerged from the mine, and Qin Guan accidentally pleased it by calling it Crab Boss.
• The Crab Boss revealed that it ran an inn and invited the cultivators inside, while Ye Bai and the others hoped the fissure would lead them closer to the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame.

• The Crab Boss produced a large cluster of Fire Essence and divided it among the tables as the main course.
• The Crab Boss added its crab roe essence to the Fire Essence, horrifying the cultivators, who nevertheless demanded the food when it threatened to eat the treasure itself.
• The Crab Boss warned the cultivators that anyone who ate without paying would be dealt with by the fire spirits.

• Qin Guan told Little Black Tower he was weighing whether to kill everyone or quietly take the fire and leave, prompting Little Black Tower to ask whether his killing addiction had flared up.

Qin Guan plotted with Little Black Tower to escape blame for killing witnesses, but the Red Crab Demon’s fire-essence feast distracted the crowd. After Qin Guan secretly revealed his connection to the Qi Yuan Civilization, the diners enjoyed the food and learned its price was one head each.

• Qin Guan discussed killing witnesses and forging an alibi with Little Black Tower, who suggested leaving with Shangshang before returning to seize the treasure.
• The Red Crab Demon served fire essence coated in its saliva and feces, and the crowd tried to avoid eating it.

• Qin Guan secretly told the Red Crab Demon he was an inheritor of the Qi Yuan Civilization and asked it to send people out so he could return secretly.
• After the cultivators ate and praised the feast, the Red Crab Demon demanded one head from each person as payment.

• The Red Crab Demon demanded a head from each person to pay for the Fire Essence Core, and Qin Guan cursed at it while secretly asking it to play along.
• Qin Guan urged the others to attack, then the Red Crab Demon offered to spare them if they left either a head or Qin Guan behind.
• The crowd chose to sacrifice Qin Guan, who fled toward the rift tunnel, but the Red Crab Demon caught up and attacked him with fireballs.
• Zhao Jianfeng tried to protect Qin Guan, but the Red Crab Demon blasted him into the rift tunnel, and the others escaped after him.
• Liu Shang stayed behind to offer all her crystals for Qin Guan's life, but the Red Crab Demon blasted her into the rift tunnel and continued pursuing Qin Guan.

Qin Guan and the Red Crab Demon faked their injuries to lure cultivators into the Secret Realm, where Qin Guan revealed that the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame had acknowledged him and slaughtered the intruders. He captured Xing Dao to take the blame and released Xiao Guo, whose appearance stunned Crab Boss.

• After the rift closed, Qin Guan and the Red Crab Demon planned to reopen it and draw the cultivators inside by pretending to be badly wounded.
• The Red Crab Demon cracked the Secret Realm open, and Qin Guan staged his injury as the rift reopened; more than eighty cultivators rushed through before it closed again.
• Zhao Jianfeng and Liu Shang entered the rift to search for Qin Guan, while Ye Bai, Xing Tian, and the others confronted Qin Guan inside the Secret Realm.
• Qin Guan killed Ye Bai and swiftly slaughtered more than eighty cultivators, then knocked out Xing Dao and put him in the Little Black Tower to take the blame.
• Qin Guan praised Crab Boss's performance and released Xiao Guo, whose arrival left Crab Boss astonished.

Xiao Guoguo reunited with Crab Boss, Little Fire, and Xiao Li in the Secret Realm, while Qin Guan discovered the immense fire veins and the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame. Little Fire reminded Xiao Guoguo that their master had ordered them to keep their identities hidden, and Xiao Guoguo grieved over the master's death.

• Xiao Guoguo emerged and recognized Crab Boss as Little Spider after Qin Guan confirmed its identity.
• Crab Boss carried Xiao Guoguo to a magma pool and led her into a hidden fissure to find Little Fire; Qin Guan followed after Crab Boss dragged him along.

• Xiao Guoguo said she had lost her memories and lamented that their master had been killed.

Qin Guan learned that Xiao Guoguo’s ability had made it a target in the destruction of the Qi Yuan Civilization, then hid Xiao Guoguo and the others in the Little Black Tower and helped trigger the Secret Realm’s collapse. Outside Divine Ash Mountain, he rejoined the other disciples while the Four Great Powers’ elders discovered that all their disciples and Death Warriors were missing.

• Little Fire and Crab Boss explained that Xiao Guoguo could replicate and surpass any creation, making it a threat to the Four Great Powers’ control of cultivation and prompting the attack on the Qi Yuan Civilization.
• Qin Guan reassured Xiao Guoguo that its Master had chosen to protect it, showed the group the civilization’s inherited classics, and told them the Master had named him its successor.
• Xiao Guoguo, Xiao Li, Little Fire, and Crab Boss entered the Little Black Tower, and Little Fire told Qin Guan that taking the fire dragon vein would collapse the Secret Realm.
• Qin Guan used Xing Dao to learn the Little Black Tower’s memory-erasing method, and the Secret Realm collapsed as he escaped amid the fleeing disciples.
• Qin Guan of the same name blamed Ye Bai and the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect to Mu Lingze, while the Four Great Powers’ elders noticed that none of their disciples or Death Warriors had returned.

After the Divine Ash Mountain Secret Realm collapsed, Xing Dao returned alone and gave a confusing account of what had happened. The other three Great Powers suspected he had taken the Secret Realm’s treasures and refused to let the Sacred Blade Sect leave with him.

• A Star Moon Sect disciple told the elders that a Red Crab Demon had taken the entrants to another space, served them food, and demanded their heads as payment.

The Sacred Blade Sect fought the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, Snow God Palace, and Pantheon over Xing Dao and the Secret Realm’s inheritance until its Founding Ancestor intervened and rescued them. After the factions departed, Qin Guan appeared alive and challenged Zhao Jianfeng’s assumption that he had died.

• The Pantheon elder accused Xing Dao of joining the Red Crab Demon to kill the other disciples, and the Four Great Powers surrounded the Sacred Blade Sect after their elders summoned reinforcements.
• Qin Guan and the Little Black Tower discussed how the Tower had helped leave Xing Dao unaware of what happened with the crab, while the Little Black Tower pressed Qin Guan to help complete the Sister Great Dao.
• The Azure Cloud Immortal Sect, Snow God Palace, and Pantheon attacked the Sacred Blade Sect, and Hu Tianming summoned the Founding Ancestor with the Sacred Ancestor Blood Token.
• The Founding Ancestor appeared, rescued the Sacred Blade Sect members, and left after warning the other powers, who then withdrew from Divine Ash Mountain.
• Mu Lingze prepared to return with Liu Shang and the others, while Zhao Jianfeng wondered whether Qin Guan had died and the same-name Qin Guan insulted him.
• Qin Guan’s voice came from the distance, and he announced that he was alive.

Qin Guan returned from the Secret Realm and described how a mysterious red flame defeated the Red Crab Demon, while the Sacred Blade Sect apparently claimed the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame. The Zhao Family faced a crushing Heaven's Will Merchant Association boycott, and Zhao Jianfeng returned home to be blamed by the family elders for provoking the crisis.

• Qin Guan reunited with Zhao Jianfeng and Liu Shang, then claimed a red flame had burned the Red Crab Demon and opened the way out of the Secret Realm.
• Zhao Jianfeng said Xing Dao of the Sacred Blade Sect was likely the only survivor from the Red Crab Demon's level and had probably obtained the Heavenly Craft Divine Flame.
• A messenger told Zhao Tianzheng that the Heaven's Will Merchant Association had banned the Zhao Family from trading and threatened merchants who worked with them.
• Zhao Jianfeng showed Zhao Tianzheng the resources he had collected, but Mu Lingze took them for the Divine Sword Sect and proposed using them to seek the Merchant Association's favor.
• Zhao Jianfeng returned to the Zhao Family with Qin Guan, where the elders condemned him for endangering the family to protect a criminal slave.

Qin Guan gave the Zhao Family a vast piece of Fire Essence and helped them turn the Heaven's Will Merchant Association's sanctions into an opportunity to attract powerful partners. After arriving at the Divine Sword Sect, he was placed under Mu Lingze's watch, where Little Black Tower urged him to stay and investigate his mission.

• Qin Guan silenced the Zhao Family elders by giving Zhao Tianzheng a huge piece of Fire Essence to resolve the crisis.
• Zhao Tianzheng rejected the idea of apologizing to the Heaven's Will Merchant Association and planned an auction of small Fire Essence pieces for the Zhao Family's business partners.
• Qin Guan suggested holding the auction at the Divine Sword Sect, and Zhao Tianzheng left with Zhao Jianfeng and Qin Guan to arrange it.
• After an overnight journey through Teleportation Arrays, Zhao Tianzheng went to meet the Sect Master while Zhao Jianfeng offered to help Qin Guan join the sect.
• Mu Lingze ordered Zhao Jianfeng to bring Qin Guan to her and interrogated him, then blocked him from leaving the Divine Sword Sect.
• Little Black Tower reminded Qin Guan to stay and investigate his mission, while bluntly urging him to pursue Mu Lingze.

• Mu Lingze ordered Qin Guan to stay on Spirit Marsh Peak and left to answer the Sect Master’s summons.
