Chen Lin searched for a way out of the sealed space and chose to wait before exploring the Holy Pagoda. After claiming the treasures of the dead practitioners, he tried using Miao Guanhai’s Sword Scabbard to draw out the Thunder God Sword, but the attempt nearly consumed his vitality, so he began cultivating with the Thunder Emperor Stone instead.

• Chen Lin declined to explore the Holy Pagoda immediately and sent Yang Qianxing to gather the surviving practitioners and look for its entrance.
• Chen Lin searched the enclosed space, found that its barriers could not be broken, and concluded that the Light Gate was the only visible connection to the outside.
• Chen Lin returned to the Holy Pagoda, then withdrew into the Divine Snail Shell and sorted the storage items taken from the fallen practitioners.
• Chen Lin found a fortune of treasures, including Origin Orbs and Fortune Orbs, and placed an Origin Orb with the Blind Girl’s withered true body.
• Chen Lin activated Miao Guanhai’s Sword Scabbard and tried to summon the Thunder God Sword, but stopped when it began consuming his essence, energy, and spirit.
• Chen Lin examined the Thunder Emperor Stone and lightning treasures, then began cultivating.

Chen Lin learned that Bai Tianling’s lineage had guarded a Sacred Horn and Holy Decree connected to the Holy Pagoda, and realized the horn’s fluctuations matched the one he possessed. Bai Tianling suspected Chen Lin might be tied to the Snow Eagle Organization and, after he left, decided to tell Yang Qianxing and the others what she knew.

• Chen Lin found that the survivors still could not open or damage the Holy Pagoda, while Xu Chenxuan said he needed another month or two to master the pseudo-source treasure refining method.
• Bai Tianling told Chen Lin that she had sensed a fluctuation from him matching the Sacred Horn her lineage’s ancestor had left behind, which was said to open the Holy Pagoda.
• Bai Tianling explained that her lineage had once possessed a Holy Decree, but its Great Elder and the Sacred Horn went missing during an upheaval a thousand years earlier.
• Chen Lin learned that the Snow Eagle Organization had hunted Bai Tianling’s clanspeople, then left without explaining why he had asked about it.
• Bai Tianling suspected Chen Lin had the Holy Decree and Sacred Horn and might keep the pagoda’s treasures for himself, so she went to tell Yang Qianxing and the others.

Chen Lin suspected Xiyue had pursued him because of the Snow-White Single Horn and arranged for Yang Qianxing to use it to open the Holy Pagoda. Bai Tianling activated the entrance and slipped inside, but Chen Lin pulled the horn back out, closing the doorway and leaving everyone to wait for what she would do next.

• Chen Lin reasoned that Xiyue had lied about the Bai Family’s origins and had been using him to reach the Holy Pagoda’s interior.
• Chen Lin gave Yang Qianxing the Snow-White Single Horn, and Bai Tianling offered to carry it so the Bai Family would not be suspected.
• Bai Tianling used her inherited spatial talent to activate the horn, and the Holy Pagoda’s first-level relief opened a doorway.
• Bai Tianling darted inside, but Chen Lin used the golden soul he had planted in the horn to pull it back and close the entrance.
• Yang Qianxing asked Chen Lin what to do, and Chen Lin suggested they wait to see what changes Bai Tianling brought about inside the Holy Pagoda.

Chen Lin waited for Bai Tianling’s entry into the Holy Pagoda to produce a change, then returned to the Divine Snail Shell to finish cultivating Five Thunders Smite the Crown. By using Miao Guanhai’s sword scabbard to help control innate thunder power, he mastered the Dao art, though he still needed to improve his control before he could use it to break the spatial barrier.

• Lu Chenxian and the other practitioners tried and failed to activate the white horn, while Chen Lin told Yang Qianxing he might be able to use it at a considerable cost.
• After a day and a half passed without any change in the Holy Pagoda, Chen Lin left Yang Qianxing to keep watch and returned to the Divine Snail Shell.
• Chen Lin’s attempt to fuse innate thunder power with Five Thunders Smite the Crown stalled, so he used Miao Guanhai’s sword scabbard and its nirvana aura to regulate the energies.
• Chen Lin successfully fused the energies and mastered Five Thunders Smite the Crown, then tested it against the spatial barrier but only made the boundary wall tremble.
• Chen Lin concluded that mastering the Dao art had broken his bottleneck and would let him address the shortcomings of False Dao Integration by merging with the Great Dao.

Chen Lin learned that the monk Nian Qing had arrived at the Holy Pagoda and discovered that he was the same old acquaintance who had once helped him sever his karmic ties to Nian Kong. Nian Qing warned that Nian Kong might still pursue Chen Lin, then asked to examine the object that could open the pagoda.

• Yang Qianxing told Chen Lin that a lone monk named Nian Qing had come through the Light Gate and was studying the Holy Pagoda.
• Chen Lin followed Yang Qianxing to meet Nian Qing, who recognized him as Benefactor Chen despite his altered appearance.
• Nian Qing revealed that the version of him trapped in the Nightmare Realm had been a clone and had escaped during the realm’s projection to rejoin his original body.
• Nian Qing learned that Chen Lin had severed his karmic ties with Nian Kong and warned him to remain vigilant because Nian Kong might not let him go easily.
• Chen Lin asked whether a Kashaya could free a demonized Nian Kong clone, and Nian Qing said he could not judge whether that claim was true.
• Nian Qing asked Chen Lin to show him the object that could open the Holy Pagoda.

Chen Lin discovered that the Old Monk was a demon and that the Light Gate passage was a trap, so he changed course and entered the Holy Pagoda with Yang Qianxing and the others. The group arrived in an empty first layer, where Yang Qianxing inferred that Bai Tianling had already gone farther inside.

• Chen Lin agreed to give Nian Qing the white horn only after the Old Monk opened the Light Gate, and nearly all the cultivators followed the Old Monk toward it.
• Cultivators rushed through the passage to claim resources in the First Pillar Heaven, while Chen Lin waited with Yang Qianxing and others.
• Bai Tianling warned Chen Lin by Soul Transmission that the Old Monk was a demon and the Light Gate was dangerous, but her message ended in a scream.
• Chen Lin pretended he wanted to explore the pagoda, then used the white horn to open its entrance and went inside ahead of the Old Monk.
• Yang Qianxing and the remaining cultivators followed Chen Lin and the Old Monk into the pagoda, where they appeared in a dim first layer with a meditation cushion and stairs leading upward.

Chen Lin and the others found no way out of the sealed pagoda except a staircase leading upward, while the Old Monk offered little information about the structure. Chen Lin led the group up after Yang Qianxing failed to return, and he reached the top unable to predict what awaited him.

• Chen Lin confirmed that the floor was sealed and the only route forward led up the stairs.
• The Old Monk said he knew little about the pagoda and offered to lead the way, but Yang Qianxing went ahead first.
• Chen Lin learned that Xu Chenxuan needed at least a month to repair his treasure, so he decided not to wait for him to finish.
• Chen Lin led the group up the ordinary staircase after Yang Qianxing failed to return, while his fate screen remained obscured and his abilities were restricted.
• Chen Lin reached the final step, and the sight ahead stunned him.

Chen Lin defeated the Old Monk and freed Yang Qianxing, Xu Chenxuan, and the others from the monks’ influence. After the group solved the wall’s Buddhist Prayer Bead puzzle, a doorway to the second trial appeared, and Elder Xun entered first.

• The Old Monk transformed Chen Lin and his companions into monks, but Chen Lin resisted with his innate power and attacked him with Soul-Destroying Finger.
• Chen Lin struck the Old Monk repeatedly and used Five Thunders Smite the Crown to destroy the monks, while the Old Monk vanished after warning that the Buddha Ancestor would punish Nian Kong.
• Chen Lin freed Yang Qianxing and the others, collected the Buddhist Prayer Beads left behind by the vanished monks, and discovered that the hall had no visible exit.
• A Dao Inquiry cultivator spotted 108 indentations in the wall, and Xu Chenxuan arranged the prayer beads in them to reveal the tower’s second-floor relief and a doorway.
• After the doorway announced the second trial, Yang Qianxing sent Elder Xun inside to lead the way.

Chen Lin and the survivors climbed to the pagoda’s third floor, where a monk and the Buddha statues nearly forced them to their deaths. After defeating the monk, Chen Lin learned the statues were transformed cultivators and prepared to continue despite the danger and his growing doubts about the Soul-Destroying Finger.

• Chen Lin led the group up the passage stairs, warning them to step only on the odd-numbered steps.
• On the third floor, an old monk demanded that Nian Kong kneel, and the Buddha statues’ pressure petrified one cultivator while threatening the others.
• Yang Qianxing used his divine ability to free Chen Lin, who killed the monk with repeated Soul-Destroying Finger strikes and ended the pressure.
• Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing recognized the Buddha statues as cultivators who had left through the Light Gate, and Chen Lin counted only six survivors.
• Zhu Yunyan, Xu Chenxuan, Li Haofeng, and Xue Yueyi introduced their abilities, but none of them or Yang Qianxing knew Bai Tianling.
• Chen Lin worried that the monk would return stronger on the next floor and that the Soul-Destroying Finger might soon fail.

Chen Lin obtained a Silver-Patterned Soul Leaving Beast and refined it into a Silver-Patterned Soul-Refining Pill to strengthen his soul before facing the next floor. After more than a month of assimilation, his soul seed and soul had turned golden, while the tower’s passage remained undiscovered.

• Xu Chenxuan gave Chen Lin a Silver-Patterned Soul Leaving Beast and a Life Bag refined by Seven Mysteries Heavenly Woman.
• Chen Lin inspected the beast and used his fate screen and a Fortune Orb to prepare for refining a higher-grade Soul-Refining Pill, but could not predict how to make Wish Noodles or enter the upper floors.
• Chen Lin asked Xu Chenxuan to repair the Dark Red Spearhead, then activated a protective array and refined the beast into a silver-patterned pill.
• Chen Lin swallowed the pill and spent more than a month assimilating it while Yang Qianxing and the others searched the hall without finding the passage to the next floor.
• Chen Lin’s soul and soul seed became brilliant gold, with his purple and ink-colored soul sources forming two rings around the seed.

Chen Lin received the repaired Void-Breaking Spear, but it was not powerful enough to break out of the Holy Pagoda. Remembering a similar Nightmare Realm trial, he guided the others in rotating the Buddha statues, and their efforts revealed a relief on the wall.

• Xu Chenxuan returned the repaired spear to Chen Lin, who named it Void-Breaking and tested its spatial power.
• Yang Qianxing asked whether the spear could open a way out, but Chen Lin warned that damaging the pagoda could provoke a dangerous backlash.
• Chen Lin recalled rules from a similar Nightmare Realm scenario and arranged the first twenty-five Buddha statues in the order he remembered.
• Chen Lin marked the statues’ order and had the others test the remaining rotation directions in sequence.
• After Xu Chenxuan completed the rotations, the Buddha statues turned toward a wall, where sections protruded to form a relief.

Chen Lin reached the next hall, destroyed the monks gathered around the Lotus Platform, and confronted Nian Kong’s phantom, who claimed their repeated meetings came from shared affinity with the Buddha. The Lotus Platform opened a Light Gate as well as the next passage, leaving the group divided over whether to continue or escape.

• Chen Lin led Yang Qianxing and the others up the staircase and found six monks gathered around a Black Lotus Platform, including an Old Monk wearing Nian Qing’s robes.
• Chen Lin used the Soul-Destroying Finger to destroy the Old Monk, the other monks, and the Lotus Platform’s dark covering, then drew Nian Kong’s phantom out with innate thunder power.
• Nian Kong said Chen Lin’s inheritance and their repeated encounters were tied to karma and an ordained fate, then vanished after Chen Lin struck him with the Soul-Destroying Finger.
• The Lotus Platform collapsed into a Light Gate while a relief sculpture opened the passage to the next level, and Chen Lin warned the others that he could not predict what lay ahead.
• Chen Lin, Zhu Yunyan, Yang Qianxing, and others entered the next passage, while Xue Yueyi chose the Light Gate and disappeared through it; Li Haofeng followed the group into the passage.

Chen Lin and the others entered the tower’s true interior, where the chained Thousand-Faced Giant revealed the danger lurking beyond Nian Kong’s illusions. After realizing Nian Kong had manipulated them to lure Chen Lin into a trap, they split into two groups to search for another passage.

• Chen Lin found himself in a vast black space with the chained Thousand-Faced Giant, whose roar nearly overwhelmed the group.
• Zhu Yunyan recognized the creature as one of the Four Great Guardians described in the Creation Tome.
• Chen Lin concluded that Nian Kong had created illusions of the monks and the Light Gate to lure him into the tower’s true interior and seize his destiny talent.
• Chen Lin proposed that the group split up and search around opposite sides of the colossal pillar while avoiding the Thousand-Faced Giant.
• Zhu Yunyan chose to accompany Chen Lin, so Yang Qianxing took Li Haofeng, and the two groups set off in different directions.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing uncovered that the Thousand-Faced Fox had infiltrated their group by altering memories and stealing bodies. After the Fox escaped through another host, Chen Lin considered which of his allies might still be compromised and began to suspect a deeper connection.

• Yang Qianxing reviewed his memories and realized Xu Chenxuan had entered the passage but vanished, leading him to suspect their memories had been altered.
• Chen Lin exposed Zhu Yunyan as the Thousand-Faced Fox, who revealed himself as High Person Yunhai before attacking Yang Qianxing.
• Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing fought back, destroying the Fox's current body, but the Fox reappeared through Li Haofeng and escaped again by switching hosts.
• Yang Qianxing warned Chen Lin that the Fox could alter memories and seize bodies, while Chen Lin concluded that Bai Tianling, Xu Chenxuan, and Zhu Yunyan had been the Fox's long-standing clones.
• Chen Lin decided Huangfu Qingrou and Yang Zihua were probably not among the Fox's clones, then suddenly thought of another possibility.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing searched for an exit, then approached the chained Thousand-Faced Giant to learn how to reach the next floor. The giant told Chen Lin to destroy the Soul Talisman and reacted with shock when Chen Lin named the Primal Thunder Annihilation Sword.

• Chen Lin tested Yang Qianxing for possession, confirmed he was safe, and gave him a Nascent Soul Pill and an Origin Orb to recover.
• Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing concluded the exit was likely near the pillar, but they could not approach the Thousand-Faced Giant safely and found no other way out.
• Chen Lin killed a shadow with his finger technique, examined its Black Crystal, and suspected the tower contained a celestial demon’s demonic thought clone.
• Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing returned to the pillar, where the Thousand-Faced Giant urged Chen Lin to destroy the Soul Talisman attached to it.
• Chen Lin asked what the giant would offer in return and named the Primal Thunder Annihilation Sword, prompting the giant to react intensely.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing tried to subdue the raging Thousand-Faced Giant, and Yang Qianxing unleashed his one-use Moonlight Saber treasure. As the saber clashed with the giant’s counterattack, Yang Qianxing discovered that the Thousand-Faced Fox was inhabiting the giant.

• Chen Lin offered to remove the giant’s Soul Talisman if the giant helped him obtain the Primal Thunder Annihilation Sword, but the giant flew into a frenzy and attacked him.
• Chen Lin struck the giant with his Soul-Destroying Finger, but Yang Qianxing explained that the giant could divide the damage among the independent lives in his many faces.
• Yang Qianxing activated his one-use starry sphere and shaped the stars and moon into the Moonlight Saber.
• The Thousand-Faced Giant countered the Moonlight Saber with a taiji diagram formed from beams emitted by the faces on his horns.
• Yang Qianxing sensed that the Thousand-Faced Fox was inhabiting the giant, and Chen Lin realized the fox intended to use his Prison-Suppressing Power to destroy the Soul Talisman.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing’s strongest attacks failed to harm the Thousand-Faced Fox, who had taken control of the chained Thousand-Faced Giant and demanded that they destroy the Soul Talisman on the God-Sealing Pillar. With only three days before the Holy Pagoda went dormant and no safe way to escape, Chen Lin considered risking the Thunder God Sword and asked Yang Qianxing for something that could temporarily boost his essence, energy, and spirit.

• Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing attacked the Thousand-Faced Giant, but the Thousand-Faced Fox used the giant’s powers to deflect or evade their strongest strikes.
• The Thousand-Faced Fox offered to swear an Inner Demon Great Oath if Chen Lin destroyed the Soul Talisman, but Chen Lin refused to trust him and proposed opening the exit passage first.
• The Thousand-Faced Fox explained that the Soul Talisman on the God-Sealing Pillar was the only way out and warned that the Holy Pagoda would go dormant after one hundred and eight days.
• Chen Lin realized that only three days remained and concluded that refining his Silver-Patterned Soul-Refining Pill would take too long to help.
• Chen Lin considered using the Thunder God Sword despite the risk that activating it could drain him to death, then asked Yang Qianxing for an item that could temporarily enhance his essence, energy, and spirit.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing joined forces to destroy the Thousand-Faced Giant and escape through a Light Gate. Chen Lin reached the top of the tower, secured the seven-colored Round Disc, and began searching the hall without yet opening its small golden chest.

• Chen Lin tested how innate thunder power traveled through a Divine Pillar, injuring Yang Qianxing in the process.
• Chen Lin struck the pillar with lightning while Yang Qianxing fired a Starlight Arrow, weakening the Thousand-Faced Giant as the Soul Talisman dimmed.
• Chen Lin used the Soul-Destroying Finger and a Pseudo-Source Treasure Dagger to destroy the giant's body, while several faces fled.
• A Light Gate appeared, and Chen Lin collected the seven-colored Round Disc before entering with Yang Qianxing; a lightning bolt destroyed one fleeing face, but a spiral-shaped shadow escaped.
• Chen Lin arrived at the tower's top, purified the Round Disc, checked that Yang Qianxing was alive, and began inspecting the hall's walls.

Chen Lin activated the White Pillar with his Prison-Suppressing Power and was transported from the Holy Pagoda to the underwater Immortal Abode in the Spirit Demon Realm. He settled on a nearby island, chose not to open the Golden Yellow Box until he learned more about it, and began refining Xiyue’s Large Origin Orb to strengthen his talent before using a Fortune Orb.

• Chen Lin found that innate power and the Soul-Destroying Finger activated the White Pillar, then poured in his innate power until its light transported him with the box.
• Chen Lin arrived at a ruined building among ancient altars and found that his triangular bone shards were giving off faint fluctuations.
• Chen Lin exited into the sea, confirmed he had reached the underwater Immortal Abode in the Spirit Demon Realm, and found no trace of the space node to the Bluestone Street Scenario.
• Chen Lin returned to his old island, repaired his immortal cave, and considered whether the Hundred Flowers Fairy, Shang Xuelian, or Hua Ruyu might be in the realm.
• Chen Lin failed to use his Destiny Talent to predict what would happen if he opened the Golden Yellow Box, so he decided to keep it sealed while seeking information about it.
• Chen Lin found that his fate screen reacted to the prospect of making Wish Noodles, then chose to refine Xiyue’s Large Origin Orb before using a Fortune Orb.

Chen Lin used the Fortunate Art to overcome repeated failures and make two servings of Wish Noodles. The noodles awakened Grass, but his other wishes failed, and he tried to use the last serving’s fading effect to remove the Fortunate Art’s bad luck backlash.

• After refining the Origin Orb, Chen Lin corrected the gaps in his destiny line and tried to make Wish Noodles, but the dough exploded during the final fusion.
• Chen Lin tested his talent by refining Soul Refining Pills successfully and concluded that the Wish Noodles exceeded his ability or resisted destiny manipulation.
• To help Grass before she was fully assimilated by the Thunder God Sword, Chen Lin used a Fortune Orb and activated the Fortunate Art, but the dough exploded again before an invisible force repaired it and completed the noodle.
• Chen Lin made a second serving, ate the first, and wished to restore Grass to her original state, but the wish failed; he then wished for her to awaken, and she spoke to him through the Thunder God Sword.
• After eating the second serving, Chen Lin’s wishes to enter a safe plane in the Upper Primal Domain and advance his cultivation failed, so he wished for the bad luck backlash from using the Fortunate Art to be eliminated.

Chen Lin used Wish Noodles to remove his bad-luck backlash, then studied the Origin Treasure he had taken from the Holy Pagoda. After awakening Grass and reaching the Dao Hearing Stage in the Spirit Demon Realm, he learned from Yang Qianxing that the realm might have been shaped by the Gods-and-Devils War.

• Chen Lin wished away the bad-luck backlash and sorted through the Holy Pagoda’s treasures, recognizing the Thousand-Faced Fox’s seven-colored disc as a genuine Origin Treasure.
• Chen Lin concluded that the disc required matching rule forces to unleash its law-like power, while his own mastery remained incomplete and his path to true origin was still distant.
• A month later, Chen Lin arrived on the island, confirmed that Grass had awakened and his backlash was gone, and fused his true self Dao with the Heaven and Earth Dao.
• Chen Lin survived the Great Dao Tribulation and entered the Dao Integration Realm as a Dao Hearing Stage powerhouse.
• Chen Lin revealed the Spirit Demon Realm’s circumstances to Yang Qianxing, who recalled a legend that spirit-demon coexistence began when the leaders of the gods and devils perished there during their war over the Exterminating Sword.

Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing searched a new realm for a route home and clues about the Immortal Abode, the Spirit Demon Ancestor, and several missing women. After months without answers, they agreed to split up and continue investigating separately.

• Chen Lin told Yang Qianxing they might use the Gourmet Island Scenario to travel between realms, then they flew off to search the islands for resources and a route to a higher realm.
• At Xuanyuan Island, Chen Lin questioned Sect Leader Lu Yundao, who said the Immortal Abode had been emptied long ago and the Spirit Demon Ancestor had been a powerful elder of the Phantom Demon Sect who was now missing.
• Lu Yundao had never seen Hua Ruyu, Hundred Flowers Fairy, or Shang Xuelian, so Chen Lin and Yang Qianxing left the island without further leads.
• After three months of searching the sea, Yang Qianxing proposed that they investigate separately, with him going to the Demon Realm and both using Transmission Beads to stay in contact.
• Chen Lin agreed and urged Yang Qianxing to continue exploring the Nightmare Realm as a possible way out before they flew off in different directions.

After a year searching, Chen Lin found Shang Xuelian in Lingtian City, where Baihua Peak was trapped in a feud with the powerful Long Family. He reached Shang Xuelian and offered to help, while the Hundred Flowers Fairy remained sealed in seclusion.

• Chen Lin found a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Fairy who said she had gone to Lingtian Continent, then used a Transmission Talisman to contact Shang Xuelian.
• Shang Xuelian and the women of Baihua Peak discussed the Long Family's threat and considered fleeing while their master remained unreachable in seclusion.
• Shang Xuelian replied that she was on Baihua Peak and warned Chen Lin not to come unless he had reached Void Refinement.
• Chen Lin learned that the Long Family had confined Baihua Peak after Long Jianjiu fought its mysterious peak master, then went to the mountain despite the warning guards.
• Chen Lin broke through Baihua Peak's formations and met Shang Xuelian, who recognized him and thanked him for coming to help.

Chen Lin learned that the Hundred Flowers Fairy had vanished after being gravely injured by Long Jianjiu, who sought information about a secret realm. As Chen Lin prepared to take Shang Xuelian to find her master, he captured and killed Long Jiankong, who had been threatening the women of Baihua Peak.

• Shang Xuelian told Chen Lin that the Hundred Flowers Fairy had been missing at sea since Long Jianjiu nearly destroyed her soul three years earlier.
• Shang Xuelian explained that the Long Family suspected the Hundred Flowers Fairy of murdering fellow cultivators during a secret-realm expedition and wanted information about the realm.
• Chen Lin learned the Long Family suspected the Hundred Flowers Fairy was a reincarnated mighty figure and offered to take Shang Xuelian to her hiding place.
• A middle-aged Long Family cultivator appeared at Baihua Peak, and Shang Xuelian identified him as Long Jiankong, who had threatened the women and caused her third senior sister's death.
• Long Jiankong detonated his body and split his Nascent Soul into nine, but Chen Lin froze the fragments, destroyed eight, and captured the last.
• Chen Lin searched Long Jiankong's Nascent Soul, extinguishing it.

Chen Lin brought Shang Xuelian and her companions to the Long Family headquarters and confronted its leaders over their persecution of Baihua Peak. He killed two leaders, subdued the Sword-Eyed Man, discovered the source of his armor’s defense, and left with the men’s Storage Bags after a soul search triggered backlash.

• Chen Lin confirmed to Shang Xuelian that he had reached the Dao Monarch realm, then took her group to the Long Family headquarters and left Scholar to protect them.
• Chen Lin entered the Long Family’s hall as its leaders discussed the Gate of Reality, the Ancestral Dragon Token, and their secret sacrifices of bloodline holders.
• When the Sword-Eyed Man planned to capture Baihua Peak’s disciples, Chen Lin appeared and killed the purple-robed old man and the White-Robed Middle-Aged Man with lightning.
• The Sword-Eyed Man tried to bargain with Chen Lin and escape through black mist, but Chen Lin used the Snow-White Single Horn to stop and incapacitate him.
• Chen Lin removed the Sword-Eyed Man’s soft armor and found that a Dark Red Scale gave it its powerful defense.
• Chen Lin broke the Sword-Eyed Man’s soul seal to search his memories, but the remnant soul dissolved and caused soul backlash; he took the three men’s Storage Bags and vanished.
