• Bai Mo defeated the Unicorn Dragon Python and nearby Anchor Tail Sea Lions, then left Jingwei to guard Xiayu while he returned to Modu.
• Lingling told Bai Mo that the four Bronze Masks could guide them to an ancient civilization’s ruin in the Dark Cave, and Bai Mo activated them with Chaos Element Magic Energy.

Bai Mo and Lingling entered a magicless underground city through a Bronze Gate opened by the four Bronze Masks, then faced its hostile magical constructs. They reached the sealed gate to the inner city, where Lingling discovered that opening it required a summoner and at least two Summoned Beasts to complete a trial.

• Bai Mo killed the Worldly Serpent with fused water-and-fire magic, a chaotic sword strike, and the Silver hairpin gun, then collected its Unusual Bone and captured its Essence Soul.

Bai Mo and Lingling crossed the outer city under the protection of Bai Mo’s Beast King title and discovered an altar checkpoint tied to ancient summoning contracts. After Bai Mo completed its formation, they approached a second altar, where a crushing aura struck as he climbed with Wind Spirit and Big Orange.

• Bai Mo found that the Bronze Mask had strengthened his contract with Water Qilin, then collected the arena’s bronze fragments and discussed with Lingling how masks might be hidden at city landmarks.
• Bai Mo and Lingling walked through the motionless Bronze Beast army, used the golden turntable to enter the inner city, and identified an altar as a likely place to find another mask.
• Bai Mo deciphered the altar’s instructions and traced its enormous contract formation in one continuous stroke, causing the altar to sink into the ground.
• Bai Mo and Lingling saw a taller altar appear farther along the avenue, with a Bronze Man statue on its golden platform, and Lingling read that a summoner had to climb it with a Summoned Beast.
• Bai Mo summoned Wind Spirit and Big Orange and climbed the altar with them; when they neared the top, an overwhelming aura immobilized him and brought back his memory of the Emperor-possessed Deep Ditch Demon Ghost in Leizhou.

Bai Mo and his Summoned Beasts passed the Golden Altar’s trial and entered the Central City Area, where nine Yangyan Golden Crows attacked them. Bai Mo defeated the Crows, collected their Solar Flare Hearts and damaged bodies, then approached the Bronze Ancient Tree with Lingling and Wind Spirit.

• Bai Mo collected all nine Solar Flare Hearts and the three damaged Supreme Golden Crow bodies, then met Lingling and Wind Spirit and headed toward the Bronze Ancient Tree.

Bai Mo and Lingling discovered that the Bronze Ancient Tree’s patterns matched Bai Mo’s Return to Origin Contract, suggesting the vanished civilization had centered on Summoners. Bai Mo found a hidden cultivation chamber and valuable resources, then reunited with Lingling, who had translated what she believed was half of the civilization’s history.

• Bai Mo went to Jinyuan Apartment to deliver the remaining necklaces, where Jiang Shaoxu noticed him staring at her during her exercise and hurried into her room.
