Plot points and events

• Xiang Chengfeng reveals that he survived Nine Cloud Master’s attempt to possess him by awakening his Innate Soul Split. He tricked Nine Cloud Master into consuming a decoy soul fragment, then devoured Nine Cloud Master’s true soul and took his place.
• Using the possession art together with his soul-splitting ability, Xiang Chengfeng spent three centuries replacing talented Saint Realm experts with his own soul fragments. The Jun, Lin, and He families’ Saints—and, in practice, the Divine Mansion’s Saint-level leaders—were all his bodies.
• Xiang Chengfeng had already taken over the Jun brothers in the Luck Array. Yao Jian resisted his attempted possession and escaped when events involving Xiang Chengfeng interrupted the process. Qin Shaofeng had recently subdued Xiang Chengfeng, preventing Yao Jian’s replacement.
