Su Yuan and the students disrupted the Sword Slave army, while Qi Hanyua was forced to fight the enemies drawn to Feng Wuya’s green bead. Su Yuan upgraded her Sword Dao talent just enough to turn the tide, and Qi Hanyua claimed her sudden improvement came from her own talent and hard work.

• Su Yuan took control of Foundation Establishment Sword Slaves and sent them to attack their former allies, letting the students charge into the disorganized army.
• Chen Nuoyi fought exceptionally well and began hearing the Thousand Gold Sword gossiping about her and Su Yuan.

• Su Yuan checked Qi Hanyua’s ability panel and spent 1,000 contribution points to upgrade her Sword Dao Genius talent to Sword Dao Prodigy.
• Qi Hanyua’s swordsmanship improved, and she laughed that she had become a genius through her own talent and hard work.

Qi Hanyua fought confidently through the Sword Slaves until two Personal Guard Sword Slaves cornered her, forcing Su Yuan to rescue her while Chi Lean engaged the other threat. Chi Lean drew his Devil Sword and transformed into a cold, contemptuous persona, leaving Su Yuan to wonder what lay behind his change.

• Qi Hanyua used her improving swordsmanship and Sword Bone Pill to cut down Sword Slaves while Su Yuan assessed the battle.

• Su Yuan suppressed one Sword Slave with his King of the Underground title and asked Chi Lean to hold off the other.
• Chi Lean warned that his personality would change, drew his Devil Sword from his body, and insulted the students cheering for him.

• Chi Lean used his Heavenly Heart Sword Dao to split open the Personal Guard Sword Slave's head, but Su Yuan stopped him from striking again so the slave's essence could be preserved.
• Chi Lean suppressed the slave while Su Yuan extracted an ability and drained him, refining his life force and spiritual energy into two Level 3 Sword Bone Pills.
• Su Yuan gave Chi Lean one of the pills, and the students gained the upper hand as another Personal Guard Sword Slave slowed his return.
• Flame River's Split Soul took control of the returning slave, raising his aura to the False Core realm.
• When Chi Lean said they might need Instructor Zhao's help, Su Yuan revealed that he had another demonic sword besides Chiyuan.

Su Yuan used the Xuan Ji Sword to kill Yan He after Chi Lean and Chen Nuoyi bought him time to activate it. He explained that Teacher Tai Bai’s presence and his threats had forced the sword to obey him.

Su Yuan planned to use Feng Wuya’s legacy and Yan He’s remaining Split Soul to lure Yan He’s true body into the Blood Sacrifice Array. As the students battled Sword Slaves, Yan He overheard a staged conversation, grew convinced the Evil Slaying Sword Sect could track him, and decided to assassinate Qi Hanyua.

• Su Yuan explained how an item bound to Yan He could anchor a blood sacrifice and summon him, then planned the trap with Feng Wuya and Qi Hanyua.
• The students spent ten days fighting the Sword Slave army and collecting sword legacies while Su Yuan sold supplies and spirit power.
• Su Yuan persuaded Feng Wuya to join his Myriad Soul Banner in exchange for help dealing with Yan He, and Feng Wuya agreed.
• Yan He hid inside the third Personal Guard Sword Slave, a tiny Sand Scorpion, and secretly watched Myriad Dragon Mountain.
• Yan He overheard Golden Core instructors discussing a way to locate him through Feng Wuya’s legacy and became increasingly suspicious as they set up formations.
• Yan He decided to kill Qi Hanyua and approached the cabin where she was receiving Feng Wuya’s legacy, intending to poison her with the Sand Scorpion’s sting.

Yan He infiltrated the cabin as a Sand Scorpion and poisoned what he believed was Qi Hanyua, only to discover Su Yuan had baited him with a puppet. Su Yuan activated a Blood Sacrifice Array using Yan He's Split Soul and Feng Wuya's remnant soul, and the array forcibly summoned Yan He's true body.

• Yan He burrowed beneath the cabin and stung the apparent Qi Hanyua with his poison needle.

Taihua Tianji arrived in the Absolute Sword World just as Yan He tried to escape, and effortlessly defeated the Sword Demon despite his desperate power-up. He captured Yan He's soul, rewarded Su Yuan with a pearl of demonic energy, and left with Yan He's corpse as the military training exercise neared its end.

• Yan He attacked a Golden Core Counselor to create an opening, then tried to flee while taunting Su Yuan and the Evil Slaying Sword Sect.
• Taihua Tianji appeared in Yan He's path and demanded that he surrender, but Yan He offered his techniques and intelligence in exchange for his life.
• After Taihua Tianji refused to spare him, Yan He absorbed the Sword Qi and demonic energy of the Sword Slaves and attacked in his blood-sword form.
• Taihua Tianji crushed Yan He's attack with one hand, forced him out of his sword form, and sealed his soul in a Soul Orb.
• Taihua Tianji gave Su Yuan a pearl of demonic energy and promised to seek a reward for his performance before leaving with Yan He's corpse.

Su Yuan arranged for Feng Wuya to pass his incomplete Boundless Dao Seed inheritance to Qi Hanyua, then copied its power for himself. The Dao Seed manifested on Su Yuan as a jet-black lotus, and its effects took on the name Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

• Su Yuan appointed Feng Wuya as a consultant and asked him to teach Qi Hanyua his inheritance.
• Feng Wuya transferred the incomplete Boundless Dao Seed to Qi Hanyua, who changed its mark to a pink-and-white gradient.
• Su Yuan used the Sect System to uncover the Dao Seed's abilities, while Feng Wuya warned Qi Hanyua to keep them secret.
• Su Yuan drained Dao Seed-infused spiritual power from Qi Hanyua and condensed it into a Spirit Pill, which he swallowed.
• A jet-black lotus appeared between Su Yuan's brows, and the Dao Seed's effects were renamed Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

Su Yuan learned that his Boundless Dao Seed had become the demonic Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and coerced Feng Wuya into teaching him how to master it. After the military training ended, Su Yuan returned to Evil Slaying University, where Taihua Tianji gave him a wooden box containing his reward.

• Su Yuan examined the Boundless Dao Seed’s Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea effects, then decided to learn the ability permanently from Feng Wuya.
• Su Yuan threatened to corrupt and exhaust Qi Hanyua until Feng Wuya agreed to teach him the Boundless Dao Seed.
• Su Yuan secretly stored the fifty thousand Sword Slaves in a vast Storage Ring with help from Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyua, and Xiao Kong.
• On September 20, Instructor Zhao ended military training, praised the recruits, and told Su Yuan that his master had claimed his special reward.
• The counselors assigned the recruits to the Evil Slaying Department and Sword Dao Department Seed Classes and gave them three days off.
• Su Yuan visited Taihua Tianji, who handed him a wooden box containing spoils seized from a Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

Su Yuan received the Jieyue Pearl, an ancient Nascent Soul demonic treasure, from Taihua Tianji and learned its storage and combat abilities. He attuned it in less than three days, prompting his Demon Lord Mission to identify it as a potential Sect-Suppressing Treasure.

• Taihua Tianji explained that the Jieyue Pearl had been made from an entire moon and warned Su Yuan that its demonic qi could corrupt those nearby.
• Taihua Tianji described the pearl’s vast storage space and its Jieyue Domain, which could weaken enemies and seal them with the Moon Chant divine ability.
• Su Yuan considered using the pearl to store the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and transport allies, while Taihua Tianji cautioned him not to use its combat abilities against fellow students.
• During his three-day vacation, Su Yuan looked after Taihua Tianji’s daughter and used Finger Artifact to attune the Jieyue Pearl.
• After Su Yuan completed the attunement, his system updated the Demon Lord Mission and declared that the pearl could become a Sect-Suppressing Treasure for his Demonic Cult.

Su Yuan completed the Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Secret Realms inside the Jieyue Pearl and began classes in the Evil Slaying Department's Seed Class. When Yang Hao True Lord asked him to choose a sword technique, Su Yuan tried to find out whether he could learn one while using the school's cultivation resources.

• Su Yuan claimed the refining methods for the Juetian and Ditong Secret Realms and learned they required Nine Heavens Gang Qi and Nine Nether Sha Qi.
• Su Yuan moved the Sword Slaves into the Jieyue Pearl, completed the Corpse Mountain Secret Realm, and expanded the Eight Treasures Merit Pool until the Blood Sea Secret Realm was complete.
• Su Yuan arrived at the Seed Class, where he learned Yang Hao True Lord would teach Dao Heart and Sword Dao while True Lord Zhan Yuan taught Cultivation and Body Tempering.
• Yang Hao True Lord assigned Qi Hanyua a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique that grew stronger with hard work, while Chi Lean was told to continue with his Heavenly Heart Sword Dao.
• Yang Hao True Lord recommended the Haori Sword Technique to Su Yuan, who asked whether learning it would let him use the school's cultivation resources for free.

Su Yuan chose the Heavenly Sha Sword Technique because it let him use Evil Slaying University’s Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha resources, despite the dangers. Yang Hao True Lord then told Su Yuan, Chi Lean, and Qi Hanyua that their upcoming joint exam would earn Hidden Points toward learning the sect’s Spirit Transmutation Inheritances.

• Su Yuan rejected the Haori Sword Technique, the True Martial Sword Technique, and the Eight Trigrams Sword Formation because they did not let him freely use school resources.
• Yang Hao True Lord explained that the Heavenly Sha Sword Technique required absorbing dangerous Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha powers and could cause cultivation deviation.

• Yang Hao True Lord explained that Foundation Establishment students could earn Hidden Points through exams and use them to study the three stages of the sect’s Spirit Transmutation Inheritances.

Su Yuan learned how difficult it would be to earn Hidden Points in the upcoming joint exam and resolved to prepare for the second-years despite their formidable leader, Chou Tianze. After classes and lunch, he went to the Civil Engineering Department to access the Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha for his training, where an unexpected visitor had also arrived.

• Yang Hao True Lord explained that only the top ten students in the joint exam would earn Hidden Points and warned that the second-year Seed Class was far stronger than the freshmen.
• Su Yuan learned that Chou Tianze had mastered the first stage of the Evil Slaying Department's Spirit Transmutation Inheritance, but he still resolved to compete.
• Yang Hao True Lord taught the freshmen the foundations of swordsmanship, and Su Yuan gained insight despite being unable to use his learning-boosting methods on the righteous teacher.
• Su Yuan had lunch with Chen Nuoyi and learned that she had chosen Golden Emperor Sword Technique, which suited her Dragon King Bloodline.
• After Spirit Script class, Su Yuan obtained permission to use the Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha and hurried to the Civil Engineering Department, where an unexpected visitor had quietly arrived.

Su Yuan visited the Civil Engineering Department to cultivate with the Jianmu Divine Needle, but his praise for the Evil Slaying Department’s treasures exposed how little the civil engineers had to show off. He entered the Divine Needle, leaving the freshmen and their senior demoralized.

• A fourth-year senior led the Civil Engineering freshmen beneath the Jianmu Divine Needle, praised its history, and announced that they would help rebuild an old teaching building as paid interns.
• Su Yuan arrived and asked to cultivate using the Jianmu Divine Needle’s gathered Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha energy, then touched the relic without hesitation.
• The senior reluctantly allowed Su Yuan to use the Divine Needle outside the department’s construction hours.
• Su Yuan praised the Civil Engineering Department’s infrastructure and asked to see its other cultivation facilities, but the senior could not name any comparable treasures.
• Su Yuan compared the department’s single relic with the many treasures in the Evil Slaying Department, crushing the freshmen’s pride, then entered the Jianmu Divine Needle through a wooden door.

Su Yuan drained Storage Room 99 of its Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha while building the Heaven and Earth Secret Realms, advancing the task only ten percent and leaving him worried about the shortage. He tried to hide the empty room, then approached Civil Engineering students carrying stored Qi and claimed he wanted to help with their work.

• Su Yuan entered Storage Room 99 and found that his Divine Spiritual Root easily suppressed the effects of its Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha.
• Su Yuan used the Jieyue Pearl to absorb the room’s Qi and build the Heaven and Earth Secret Realms until the room was empty and the task had advanced ten percent.

• Su Yuan saw Civil Engineering students carrying beads of condensed Qi and learned they were collecting materials to rebuild an old teaching building.
• Su Yuan praised a Civil Engineering upperclassman and said he wanted to help with their work, prompting the seven students to confront him before questioning whether he was serious.

Su Yuan arranged to join the Civil Engineering College’s Teaching Building reconstruction project and skipped classes to focus on his sword technique. At the worksite, he volunteered to enter the old foundation and clear its dangerous Qi of Earth Sha.

• Su Yuan asked to join the Teaching Building reconstruction project, and Civil Engineering students agreed to seek approval from their instructor.
• Su Yuan told Yang Hao True Lord and Taihua Tianji he would skip classes to study the Heavenly Sha Sword Technique, and both approved.
• Civil Engineering College approved Su Yuan’s request and offered him fifty percent more than a first-year student’s usual pay.
• Su Yuan joined the demolition crew, where his hometown friend Wang Zhengyu was assigned to show him the ropes.
• After the instructor explained the danger and expense of clearing Qi of Earth Sha from the foundation, Su Yuan volunteered to do it himself.

Su Yuan secretly drained most of the Earth Sha from a foundation while completing his Civil Engineering task, then stole more from the supplies assigned to his team. He tempted Wang Zhengyu into sharing the stolen Qi of Earth Sha and left him wavering over Su Yuan’s offer of living sacrifices.

• The Civil Engineering instructor sent Su Yuan underground to collect Earth Sha, and Su Yuan returned after two hours with a Qi Storage Bead containing a nearly drained earth dragon.
• The instructor blamed the depleted Earth Sha on the old construction crew and paid Su Yuan sixty thousand for the job.
• Su Yuan and Wang Zhengyu joined a team renovating the foundation, and Su Yuan stole the team’s Qi of Earth Sha from Wang Zhengyu’s bead.
• Su Yuan gave Wang Zhengyu some of the stolen Earth Sha and told him it could sell for ten or twenty thousand.
• Wang Zhengyu hesitated to join Su Yuan after learning that Su Yuan planned to use Sword Slaves as living sacrifices in place of Earth Sha.

Su Yuan exploited his Civil Engineering work to obtain Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, quickly formed the Heavenly Sha Sword Seed, and joined more construction projects to advance his plans before the monthly exam. When Yang Hao True Lord and Taihua Tianji asked about his training, they learned he had become an expert at pouring concrete.

• Wang Zhengyu accepted Su Yuan's Qi of Earth Sha, and Su Yuan later arranged more supply deals with his Civil Engineering seniors.
• After a week of construction work, Su Yuan used Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha to develop the Secret Realm of Severing Heaven and cultivate the Heavenly Sha Sword Technique, forming its sword seed on his first day.
• Su Yuan planned to strengthen Qi Hanyua and finish the Secret Realm of Severing Heaven before the October 25 monthly exam, then joined additional off-campus construction projects.
• Yang Hao True Lord and Taihua Tianji heard that Chi Lean had nearly reached Great Achievement in the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique and Qi Hanyua had reached Minor Achievement in the Heavenly Grade Sword Technique.
• When the two asked about Su Yuan's Heavenly Sha Sword Technique, the counselor reported that Su Yuan had become a peerless concrete-pouring prodigy.

Su Yuan continued working on the Civil Engineering College’s new building while practicing his Heavenly Sha Sword Technique, drawing the attention of Yang Hao True Lord and Taihua Tianji. Taihua Tianji took him back to prepare for the monthly exam, then accused him of secretly taking cultivation resources from the construction project and ordered him to repay them.

• Su Yuan practiced the Heavenly Sha Sword Technique while helping finish the Civil Engineering College’s new building, and the students admired him as their senior brother.
