• Yun Qingyang asked Ma Feifei to buy another billion worth of saplings and said she planned to auction a divine artifact through Zhou Zhuling to get the money.

Ma Feifei and Zhou Zhuling reviewed the applicants for the expedition into the world within the book and selected several powerful cultivators. As they considered the final spot, Zhou Zhuling proposed joining the expedition herself, surprising Ma Feifei.

• Unable to find a suitable person for the final spot, Zhou Zhuling suggested that Ma Feifei take her along.
• Ma Feifei choked on his bun, then asked Zhou Zhuling if she really wanted to enter the world within the book.

Ma Feifei allowed Zhou Zhuling to join the Mysterious Bookstore’s exploration team despite her low cultivation, provided she obeyed his orders. The final recruit list sparked protests in Dubian Town, but the crowd quieted after the Wantong Trading Market threatened to make the next day’s opening private, and people began gathering in the north of town.

• Ma Feifei saw that Zhou Zhuling had reached the Seventh Stage of Spirit Emperor and warned her that the dungeon would be dangerous.
• After a system notification, Ma Feifei agreed to let Zhou Zhuling join if she followed his commands, and he told her to prepare a life-and-death waiver.
• The Wantong Trading Market published the six-person team list: Cang Lan, Jian Wuji, Mo Xie, Chi Mu, Goddess Yin Yue, and Zhou Zhuling.

• Zhang Caicai opened the Mysterious Bookstore’s doors and invited six people inside, then closed them behind the group.
• An orange book rose from the Bookstore and projected a lifeless red world beneath ten blazing suns, drawing astonished reactions from cultivators and immortals.
• Ma Feifei’s ten-person team entered the world, wrapped themselves in Spiritual Power against the heat, and examined the route toward six ferocious beasts and the Sun Shooting Bow.
• Ma Feifei told the team to remove extra clothing and conserve Spiritual Power because the world had no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to replenish it.
• Luan Feng explained that the heat was weaker than Hong Luan’s, and Yun Qingyang gave Ma Feifei a Dragon Ball that made him feel comfortable.

Yun Qingyang lent Dragon Balls to Ma Feifei’s group to shield them from the heat, leaving them to settle the rental fees after escaping the book world. Ma Feifei led the group toward their destination, where the first monster, Yayu, emerged from the Ruoshui River.

• Yun Qingyang lent Ba Jiu a Dragon Ball on credit and gave Ma Feifei his without charge because he already owed her too much.

• The group reached the Ruoshui River, where Ma Feifei warned them to prepare for the first monster and drew his sword.
• Yayu sprang from beneath the cliff and landed where Ma Feifei had just been standing.

Ma Feifei’s team confronted Yayu, whose strength exceeded Chi Mu’s and forced the group to intervene. Jian Wuji struck Yayu down, and the observers noticed something nearby as the chapter ended.

• Ma Feifei warned the team about Yayu, and Chi Mu volunteered to test the beast’s strength.
• Yayu dodged Chi Mu’s axe and slashed his chest, then wounded him repeatedly as they fought.
• Ma Feifei sent Luan Feng to attack, and Luan Feng struck Yayu while Chi Mu blocked his escape.
• Yayu tried to flee, but Jian Wuji pierced his chest with sword Qi and brought him down.
• Chang Kong suggested Jian Wuji had pursued the highest realm of sword Dao, and the projection’s viewers noticed something nearby.

After Yayu dropped a Book Spirit Stone and three Sun-Shooting Arrows, Ma Feifei said the arrows would be used to shoot down the suns. The group continued past the Ruoshui River as the heat intensified, and Ma Feifei warned that the second ferocious beast was about to appear.

• Several glowing objects appeared beside Yayu, and Luan Feng stopped Chi Mu from picking one up.
• Yun Qingyang picked up a Book Spirit Stone, which Ma Feifei let her keep.
• Ma Feifei collected three Sun-Shooting Arrows and told the group they were for shooting down the suns.
• Ma Feifei led the group onward around the Ruoshui River as the suns seemed closer and the heat grew stronger.
• The barren land gave way to soft mud, and Ma Feifei warned the group that the second ferocious beast was about to appear.

Ma Feifei’s group encountered Zaochi in the swamp, where its shield rebounded attacks with devastating force. The group surrounded it, but Zaochi raised a powerful mud defense and left them unable to hurt it.

• Zaochi emerged from the swamp, and Mo Xie attacked it after Ma Feifei promised him first pick of any rewards.
• Zaochi’s shield rebounded Mo Xie’s strike and sent him flying; Chi Mu then attacked but was also thrown back and badly injured.
• Ma Feifei recognized that Zaochi relied on its shield for defense and ordered the group to attack together from different directions.
• Jian Wuji drew Zaochi’s attention while the others attacked its unguarded sides, but Zaochi raised a wall of mud that stopped every strike.
• Zaochi attacked with its spear while using its shield to repel the group’s blows, and cultivators watching from outside worried about its strength.

Ma Feifei followed Yun Qingyang’s advice and used the Nine Dragon Sacred Bone Sword to pierce Zaochi’s shield and kill the beast. The group collected Zaochi’s drops, including its shield, when someone demanded to take it.

• Cultivators watching the fight discussed Zaochi’s powerful shield and spear as the Immortal Realm fighters struggled to find an opening.
• Ma Feifei asked Yun Qingyang how to break the shield, and she told him to use the Setting Sun Sword, which had become the Nine Dragon Sacred Bone Sword.
• Ma Feifei charged Zaochi and drove the sword through its shield and chest, killing it with one strike.
• Yun Qingyang collected three drops: a Sun-Shooting Arrow, a Book Spirit Stone, and Zaochi’s silver shield.
• Someone behind the group declared that they were taking the shield.

Ma Feifei gave Chi Mu Zaochi’s shield, intending to use the Northern Liang expert as a frontline fighter against the remaining vicious beasts. As the group crossed into cooler, wetter terrain, Ma Feifei realized they were approaching Jiu Ying.

• Chi Mu asked Ma Feifei for Zaochi’s shield, and Ma Feifei readily agreed to give it to him.
• Yun Qingyang handed Chi Mu the shield and gave Ma Feifei the Sun-Shooting Arrow, while she took the Book Spirit Stone.
• Ma Feifei told Zhou Zhuling he had given Chi Mu the shield so the strong fighter could lead the way against the remaining beasts.
• The group continued across the swamp as mountains and trees appeared and the air grew cooler and damper.
• Ba Jiu noticed the temperature had dropped, and Ma Feifei warned that Jiu Ying would soon encounter them.

Ma Feifei’s group encountered Jiu Ying at the Fierce Water of Northern Di, and Chi Mu’s new shield let him withstand the monster’s fire and knock one of its heads unconscious. As the others fought the remaining heads, Ma Feifei and Zhou Zhuling rushed to attack the fallen one.

• Ma Feifei identified Jiu Ying as a powerful beast that could breathe fire and spout water, and sent Chi Mu ahead with his shield.
• The group reached the Fierce Water of Northern Di, where Jiu Ying emerged from the river and faced them.
• Chi Mu charged Jiu Ying, blocked its flames with his shield, and knocked one of its heads unconscious with the shield’s rebounding force.
• Jiu Ying’s other eight heads attacked Chi Mu, and the team members joined the fight, each taking on a head.
• Ma Feifei called Zhou Zhuling over and ran toward the unconscious head to take advantage of the opening.

Ma Feifei killed one of Jiu Ying’s snake heads, but the other heads devoured its body and grew stronger. As the team resumed their attack, Jiu Ying swallowed Chi Mu, and Ma Feifei moved to strike at the beast’s lower body.

• Ma Feifei stabbed and then severed a snake head that the Shield of Rebound had knocked unconscious.
• Jiu Ying’s eight remaining heads devoured the severed head’s body, increasing their combat strength.
• Ma Feifei warned the team about Jiu Ying’s ability to grow stronger by eating its own heads, and Mo Xie knocked the severed head farther away.
• Chi Mu charged a snake head with his Shield of Rebound, but it swallowed him.
• Ma Feifei rushed toward Jiu Ying’s lower body, planning to attack it first.

Ma Feifei and the squad defeated Jiu Ying after Chi Mu escaped from one of its snake heads and Yun Qingyang helped finish off the last one. Their rewards included nine Yin Yang Yuan Qi Pills, leaving Ma Feifei concerned about how to divide them among ten people.

• Ma Feifei drew Jiu Ying's attention while Chi Mu wreaked havoc inside the snake head that had swallowed him.
• Ma Feifei cut through the snake head with the Nine Dragon Sacred Bone Sword, and Chi Mu severed it with his Great Axe.
• Yun Qingyang, Goddess Yin Yue, and the other squad members defeated the remaining snake heads until Mo Xie was left fighting the last one.
• Yun Qingyang cut down the final snake head, killing Jiu Ying and earning the squad four rewards.
• Yun Qingyang collected the rewards, including a Book Spirit Stone and a red bottle, and Ma Feifei learned it contained nine cultivation-boosting Yin Yang Yuan Qi Pills.
• Ma Feifei worried that the squad had ten members but only nine pills.

Ma Feifei kept the Yin Yang Yuan Qi Pills after Chi Mu demanded a share, saying the party would divide them by contribution after leaving the ancient storyline. The group continued fighting through the mythical landscape as the atmosphere quietly began to change.

• Ma Feifei considered why the system had produced nine portions of Yin Yang Yuan Qi Pills and told the others the pills could increase cultivation.
• Chi Mu demanded the pills, claiming he had helped fight the snake, while Mo Xie challenged his claim.
• Ma Feifei stored the pills and said he would distribute them according to the group's contributions after they left.
• Yun Qingyang handed Ma Feifei Jiuying's Claw, which the system identified as a divine-grade crafting material, and he stored it.
• Ma Feifei led the party onward through Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe as they fought vicious beasts, while observers watched and the atmosphere began to change.

After the team defeated the six ferocious beasts, Ma Feifei collected their drops and discovered a Mythic-grade Tianshu page. The system directed him to the Edge of Heaven to find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, and the team reached the precipice where it lay.

• After Xiushe fell, Ma Feifei collected its rewards, including twelve arrows, three swords, a Book Spirit, and a Tianshu Fragment for Hou Yi Shoots Down Nine Suns.
• The system congratulated Ma Feifei for defeating the six beasts and told him to go to the Edge of Heaven to shoot down the nine suns with the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
• Ma Feifei checked the parchment, saw the team was near the Edge of Heaven, and urged everyone toward the final area.
• As the heat intensified, Yun Qingyang spotted a slope ending at a precipice, with a stele marked Edge of Heaven and a golden bow beneath it.

Ma Feifei took up the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and tried to shoot down a sun, but nothing happened after he released the arrow. The system told him his shot had gone wide and showed him a projection of the attempt.

• Ma Feifei picked up the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which shook before settling in his grip.
• The bow released golden light that blasted everyone but Ma Feifei away, while Goddess Yin Yue noticed her white silk trembling in fear.
• Ma Feifei felt compelled to raise the bow, nocked a Sun-Shooting Arrow, and fired at a sun as the watching cultivators looked on.
• After waiting a quarter of an hour without seeing any effect, Ma Feifei asked the system what had happened.
• The system said Ma Feifei's shot had gone wide and projected his attempt, showing him the arrow's flight.

After his first Sun-Shooting Arrow missed, Ma Feifei bought Master-Level Archery Skill and successfully shot down a sun. The explosion shook the Azure Dragon Continent, and he fired again, destroying another sun.

• Ma Feifei watched his first arrow veer off course and miss the sun, leaving him worried that eleven arrows might not be enough to destroy all nine suns.
• Ma Feifei bought Master-Level Archery Skill from the system for one hundred million Spirit Crystals and gained expert command of the bow.
• Ma Feifei fired another Sun-Shooting Arrow, which struck a sun and made it explode.
• The explosion shook the Azure Dragon Continent, rattling Dubian Town and its defensive formations.
• Ma Feifei fired again, and a second sun exploded.
