The Old Shopkeeper swore the Tian Family’s allegiance and proposed binding his family to Chen Lin with a Bloodline Soul Seal, which Chen Lin allowed only after urging him to consult them first.

• Chen Lin told Silver Fairy that Yan Wuya had sought the three items while posing as High Person Yunhai, and Silver Fairy gave him a Tribulation Avoidance Talisman before leaving with True Lord Huanling.

After learning that her Cloth Doll Toy was trapped in the stone coffin, he consulted Mu Linglong, who advised him to wait for Silver Fairy to return before taking any action.

• Chen Lin inspected his gifts and discovered that he now possessed three upper-grade Spiritual Tools, two Talisman Treasures, and numerous other Spiritual Tools.

• Chen Lin told Mu Linglong what had happened, and she advised him to leave the stone coffin alone until Silver Fairy returned from the Nightmare Realm.

Chen Lin grew wary of He Huahai and Mu Linglong’s conflict while Silver Fairy remained missing, so he prepared escape routes and sought a secluded place to advance his cultivation. He faced the second bolt of his minor heavenly tribulation and lay severely injured, with the final strike still to come.

• After waiting months for Silver Fairy to emerge, Chen Lin learned from Mu Linglong that He Huahai had secretly advanced to the late Golden Core realm, possibly with help from Lv Yuan.
• Chen Lin suggested Mu Linglong ask He Huahai to help open the stone coffin in Silver Tiger City Mine, but He Huahai refused, and Mu Linglong shelved the plan.

He then learned that Mu Linglong had fallen unconscious after opening the stone coffin and went to Silver Tiger City to investigate, finding no nightmare realm aura inside it.

• Chen Lin’s third tribulation bolt strengthened his Diamond Body-Refining Technique and Thunder Apricot Spirit, and he broke through to foundation establishment middle stage.
• Chen Lin used his Foundation Establishment Puppets and other magic tools to kill the Qishan Three Friends after they blocked his way and demanded treasure.
• A young woman and a girl watched Chen Lin leave and discussed him as a possible marriage prospect for the girl.
• Cao Jinwang told Chen Lin that Mu Linglong had opened the stone coffin and fallen unconscious, so Chen Lin ordered him to keep the incident secret and hurried to Silver Tiger City.
• Chen Lin entered the mine cave and found Mu Linglong at the bottom of the pit; the stone coffin no longer held nightmare realm aura, leaving him to consider whether her body could still connect to the Nightmare Realm.

Chen Lin entered Scarecrow Cottage to rescue Mu Linglong and learned more about the Nightmare Realm, including how the Xianji Stone and Road Guides worked. After returning to reality, he and Mu Linglong discussed Silver Fairy’s whereabouts and the suspicious He Huahai and Lv Yuan.

• Chen Lin entered Scarecrow Cottage and gave Niuniu a Nightmare Coin so she could buy Mu Linglong a straw substitute and send her back safely.

• Mu Linglong warned Chen Lin to watch He Huahai and Lv Yuan, while Chen Lin privately resolved to avoid getting involved until Silver Fairy returned.

• Chen Lin activated the Jade Slip in his immortal cave, and its white light entered his brow, imparting Silver Fairy's insights through divine empowerment.

Chen Lin received the Soul-Destroying Finger inheritance and reluctantly entered a political marriage with Qin Lingyu, a daughter of the Qin Lineage. After half a year of separate cultivation, he reached Initiation in the secret art, then went to Qin Lingyu’s cave after her Transmission Talisman summoned him.

• Chen Lin tested the Soul-Destroying Finger on a mouse and found that his new secret art was still weak.
• The Silver Fairy told Chen Lin to marry Qin Lingyu to strengthen ties with the Qin Lineage, and he reluctantly agreed.

• After six months of training, Chen Lin reached Initiation in the Soul-Destroying Finger and turned to cultivating the Sanyang Burning Wood Technique.
• Qin Lingyu’s Transmission Talisman summoned Chen Lin, and he headed to her immortal cave.

• Chen Lin met Yan Wuya, who gave him a Nightmare Realm finger bone and asked him to arrange a meeting with Silver Fairy.
• Silver Fairy examined the finger bone, agreed to meet Yan Wuya, and urged Chen Lin to practice the Soul-Destroying Finger.

• Chen Lin met Tian Haifu at the branch shop, instructed him to prioritize gathering information and treasures, and asked about negotiations for a teleportation slot to the Southern Immortal Cultivation World.

Chen Lin traveled to Black Horn to investigate Ten Thousand Caves Mountain and learned that the local Demon-Suppressing Temple’s monks were rumored to turn into monsters. After confirming the cave Mu Linglong had marked, he arrived just as four Foundation Establishment cultivators entered it, and chose to wait rather than join them.

• Chen Lin learned that Xuanguan Immortal City had no available Cross-Region Teleportation Formation slots, so he told Tian Haifu to bid for one at the coming auction.
• Chen Lin hired Wang Erniu to guide him around Black Horn and learned about the city’s factions and the nearby Demon-Suppressing Temple.
• Wang Erniu told Chen Lin he had seen two monks from the Demon-Suppressing Temple turn black and grow fangs, so Chen Lin decided not to visit the temple.
• Chen Lin gathered information and materials in Black Horn before traveling to the cave Mu Linglong had marked in Ten Thousand Caves Mountain.
• Four Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived at the cave entrance and entered after Chen Lin declined their invitation to explore with them.

Chen Lin explored the Earth Cave, discovered that the Soul-Destroying Finger could kill the batlike monsters and leave behind Black Beads, and reached the Soul-Washing Pool. He prepared a Silver-Tailed Monkey for an experiment to test the pool’s effects on the bond between soul and body.

• Chen Lin entered the Earth Cave, where batlike monsters grew stronger by absorbing the black qi of their slain companions, and he trapped them with the Golden Silk Net.
• Chen Lin found that the Soul-Destroying Finger killed the monsters without making them burst apart, leaving behind Black Beads, and he used it to clear the creatures in his path.
• Chen Lin found a Storage Bag beside a corpse belonging to one of the four people he had seen outside the cave, then continued down a passage while a monk watched him and returned toward the surface.
• Chen Lin followed the Map Jade Slip to the Soul-Washing Pool, hoping it would strengthen the connection between his soul and body.
• Chen Lin uncovered a Silver-Tailed Monkey he had brought along to test the pool.

Chen Lin cultivated in the pool, then ambushed and killed a demonized monk who had followed him into the cave. After returning to Silver Immortal City and inspecting the monk’s nearly empty storage bag, he was shocked by the Buddha statue inside.

• Chen Lin tested the pool’s strange energy on the Silver-Tailed Monkey, then entered it and spent half a year cleansing his soul and dissolving the barrier between his soul and body.
• Deputy Director Yan led Three Spirits Society cultivators into the cave to search for his missing younger brother, while a monk watched from nearby.
• Chen Lin used his Foundation Establishment Puppets to ambush the monk, who transformed into a powerful demon and destroyed several puppets.
• Chen Lin defeated the monk with He Huahai’s talisman treasure, gathered the storage bags, and fled to Silver Immortal City.
• Chen Lin discovered that the monk’s storage bag held only a Buddha statue and a few scriptures, then cried out in disbelief when he examined the statue.

Chen Lin discovered a demonic Buddha statue bearing his face from his previous life, but sealed it away rather than investigate before reaching the Golden Core stage. He studied the Nine Origins Immortal-Slaying Formation, built a coordinated unit of nine puppets, and found growing comfort in his life with Qin Lingyu.

• Chen Lin found a black Buddha statue carved in his previous-life likeness, sealed it in a Storage Bag, and decided to postpone investigating it.
• Qin Lingyu told Chen Lin that her father wanted him to accept disciples from the Qin Lineage, and Chen Lin offered to introduce a suitable candidate to Mu Linglong.
• Lu Youcai acquired a manuscript of the Nine Origins Immortal-Slaying Formation for Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin spent months refining nine puppets with intelligent demon souls and tested their formation, which let them combine their attacks with power approaching that of a Talisman Treasure.
• Chen Lin returned to the city with the puppets and continued cultivating as Qin Lingyu visited him more often, giving him a sense of warmth and home.

Chen Lin sensed a soul-chilling aura while practicing the Soul-Destroying Finger and traced its strongest presence to the Pill Hall, where he suspected He Huahai might be involved. After Chen Lin reported the anomaly, the Silver Fairy said the fish had taken the bait and told him to stay at the City Lord Manor and stop practicing the secret art for now.

• Chen Lin repeatedly felt an unexplained chill, then realized it appeared when he used the Soul-Destroying Finger to heighten his soul perception and seemed to come from underground.
• Unable to find the Silver Fairy or Mu Linglong, Chen Lin tested the secret art at different locations and found the reaction was strongest at the Pill Hall.
• Chen Lin suspected He Huahai might be connected to the anomaly, but feared investigating him and decided to act as if nothing was wrong.
• High Person Yunhai returned from the Nightmare Realm, thanked Chen Lin, gave him a gift, and said he was leaving for Sea of Clouds Immortal City.
• Chen Lin learned the Silver Fairy had returned and reported the anomaly to her; she said the fish had taken the bait and ordered him to stay at the City Lord Manor and stop practicing the Soul-Destroying Finger.

Chen Lin discovered that the black plate High Person Yunhai gave him bore writing from the Nightmare Realm, then witnessed a divine being attack Silver Immortal City. The Silver Fairy’s God-Trapping Formation failed when He Huahai revealed his betrayal, and Chen Lin began retreating with Qin Lingyu as the battle escalated.

• Chen Lin examined the black plate from High Person Yunhai and suspected it contained Nightmare Realm writing, but he could not decipher it.
• Chen Lin’s cultivation reached the peak of the fourth Foundation Establishment layer in the Silver Fairy’s Cultivation Chamber.
• Explosions shook Silver Immortal City, and a ghostly face emerged from the Pill Hall and demanded Yun Feiyan’s soul origin essence.
• The Silver Fairy activated her God-Trapping Formation, but the ghostly face broke free and He Huahai appeared beside it.
• He Huahai revealed his Golden Core Great Perfection cultivation and blamed the Silver Fairy for holding him back, while Chen Lin and Qin Lingyu retreated from the battle.

Chen Lin watched Silver Fairy confront the ghost face as Silver Immortal City collapsed and its trapped cultivators turned against her. Silver Fairy and He Huahai’s apparent betrayal proved to be a trap that drew the ghost face into He Huahai’s body beneath a Nascent Soul Tribulation, where the first thunderbolt destroyed it.

• Chen Lin grasped the Straw Button as Silver Immortal City shook apart and black qi filled its streets.
• The ghost face possessed the trapped cultivators and sent their ghostly forms to attack Silver Fairy while He Huahai urged her to surrender.
• Yu Linglong told Silver Fairy that the altar had been destroyed, and Silver Fairy produced a broken sword she identified as the God-Slaying Sword.
• The ghost face tried to escape, but a golden barrier drove it back, and Silver Fairy prepared to strike with power drawn from the top-grade spiritual vein.
• The ghost face possessed He Huahai, but his soul resisted and split his golden core, summoning a Nascent Soul Tribulation.
• The ghost face realized Silver Fairy and He Huahai had lured it into the tribulation, and the first thunderbolt reduced it to ashes.

After the ghost face was destroyed, He Huahai faced a deadly Nascent Soul tribulation, and Chen Lin was unexpectedly targeted by its golden lightning. Niuniu rescued Chen Lin and revealed that his rule force came from outside this realm, then advised him to find a Road Guide to strengthen it in the Nightmare Realm.

• Mu Linglong explained that He Huahai and the others had staged their conflicts to lure the ghost face, and the Silver Fairy said He Huahai had a slim chance of surviving his Nascent Soul tribulation.
• He Huahai endured the first five lightning bolts, using the Two Elements Heaven-Covering Talisman against the fifth, while the Silver Fairy worried he would not survive the last bolt.
• The final golden bolt split and turned toward Chen Lin; the Silver Fairy's Octagonal Glazed Mirror weakened it, but Niuniu pulled Chen Lin away with a straw hand before it struck him.
• The Silver Fairy sealed off the ruined city and guarded He Huahai as he began facing the inner demon tribulation.
• Niuniu told Chen Lin that his foreign rule force had attracted the tribulation lightning and said he should seek a Road Guide to find ways of strengthening its origin essence.

Chen Lin used the Road Guide to leave Niuniu’s courtyard and visit Xiaohong in Guardian Hut Village, where he learned more about the Nightmare Realm’s dangers and rules. After drinking Xiaohong’s mushroom soup, he felt his body burn and concluded that it was poisonous.

• Chen Lin learned from Niuniu that High Person Yunhai’s tablet was a low-grade Road Guide that let him move within a limited area of the Nightmare Realm.
• Niuniu took Chen Lin through Guardian Hut Village to visit Xiaohong, while warning him that the realm’s aura could assimilate his actual body and that each hut had its own rules.
• At Xiaohong’s Mushroom Courtyard, Chen Lin discovered that the Xianji Stone could protect items from nightmare qi long enough for him to retrieve them from his Storage Bag.
• Xiaohong prepared mushroom soup, and Niuniu explained that visitors had to drink a bowl or accept Xiaohong’s challenge.
• Chen Lin drank the soup, then felt his body burn and the world spin as Xiaohong gave him a mushroom.

After escaping the Nightmare Realm, Chen Lin discovered that the mushroom soup had advanced his Vajra Body-Refining Art to the peak of its second stage. He returned to the ruined Silver Immortal City, learned that He Huahai was unconscious after his tribulation, and helped Mu Linglong sort through the ruins as reconstruction began.

• Chen Lin escaped the Nightmare Realm with his belongings and the mushroom, then found that his body-refining progress had reached the peak of the second stage and his Dark Red Lotus Flame had grown stronger.
• Chen Lin traveled to Qinglong City and met Luo Qingsong, then returned with him and his people to the Silver Immortal City.
• Chen Lin learned that the Silver Fairy had banned cultivators from entering the ruined city and that He Huahai was unconscious after a complication during his tribulation.
• Mu Linglong confirmed that she and the Silver Fairy knew Chen Lin had entered the Nightmare Realm in the flesh, then asked him about his experience there.
• Chen Lin and Mu Linglong led nearly a thousand people in sorting the ruins and returning recovered possessions, after which reconstruction of the Silver Immortal City began.

Three years after the Silver Fairy slew the different spirit that threatened Silver Immortal City, Chen Lin learned that a fragment he had kept was part of the God-Slaying Sword and reported its possible origins to his master. He then pursued a lead on Buddha-Ferrying Grass, only to learn its discoverer had been robbed and wanted Chen Lin to uphold justice.

• Silver Immortal City prospered after its reconstruction, while the Silver Fairy's feat of killing a different spirit inspired cultivators who opposed God-Communion.
• Chen Lin recognized that his rusty fragment connected to the broken God-Slaying Sword and gave it to the Silver Fairy, who ordered him to keep its possible link to Tianyuan Island secret.
• Lu Youcai told Chen Lin that Zhou Qingyu, leader of the Ziyuan Sect, had found Buddha-Ferrying Grass in the wilderness.
• Chen Lin visited Zhou Qingyu to ask about the herb and offer compensation for it.
• Zhou Qingyu revealed that he had found several stalks of Buddha-Ferrying Grass, but someone had forcibly taken them, and he asked Chen Lin to uphold justice.

Chen Lin obtained Buddha-Ferrying Grass by prompting Chihuo Immortal to appease him, then took on greater duties in Silver Immortal City while Mu Linglong searched for a way to save He Huahai. Two years later, he learned where to find Sarira Fruit and prepared to synthesize the Azure Flood Dragon Halberd.

• Zhou Qingyu told Chen Lin that Chihuo Immortal had robbed him outside the city and threatened to seize the Ziyuan Sect's property, but Chen Lin refused to intervene directly.
• Chen Lin had Lu Youcai let Chihuo Immortal know he needed Buddha-Ferrying Grass, and Chihuo Immortal sent him at least seven stalks before the Qin Lineage's patriarch denied any plan to seize the sect's property.
• Zhou Qingyu brought his daughter Zhou Shuyi to thank Chen Lin and offered her as a potential match, but Chen Lin rejected the implication and left.
• Mu Linglong told Chen Lin she would travel to the Southern Immortal Cultivation World to seek a cure for He Huahai, and Chen Lin asked her to look for Dantai Yunjin, Zhao Mengru, and Luo Qinglan.
• Chen Lin took over more of Mu Linglong's duties, brought Luo Qingsong back to help, and spent two years balancing administration and cultivation.
• Tian Haifu told Chen Lin that Sarira Fruit was at the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Black Horn City, so Chen Lin posted a mission offering a Seven-Star Pill and prepared to synthesize the Azure Flood Dragon Halberd with five flood dragon souls.

Chen Lin’s five attempts to forge an Azure Flood Dragon Halberd failed, but Fu Chongshan discovered that the scroll was actually an inheritance for making a Pseudo Spirit Treasure. Days later, a monk from the Demon-Suppressing Temple came to meet Chen Lin, leaving his reason for visiting unknown.

• Chen Lin tried and failed five times to forge the Azure Flood Dragon Halberd, then brought the scroll to Fu Chongshan for examination.
• Fu Chongshan activated a hidden mark and revealed that the scroll contained a Pseudo Spirit Treasure forging method with a strand of spiritual charm.
• Fu Chongshan explained that the treasure required a fourth-rank flood dragon soul, and Chen Lin agreed not to sell the inheritance and to let Fu Chongshan forge it if he gathered the materials.
• Several days later, a monk named Xuanzhi from the Demon-Suppressing Temple in Black Horn City sought Chen Lin at his shop.
• Chen Lin invited Xuanzhi into his reception room to speak privately.
