Chapter Summary: Treasure Hunting and the Use of Void Origin Insects

Key Plot Points and Events

• Liu Huan and Joyous Union Sect cultivators break through the Blue Water Curtain protecting the Flying Immortal Sect ruins using a red ring magic treasure. Han Changming’s group follows them inside after discovering and disabling a warning array.
• Cheng Guangbei and the others agree to cooperate temporarily, reasoning that the ruins’ treasures justify the danger of possibly encountering Nascent Soul cultivators. Bai Xuzi arrives afterward and begins breaking through the barrier independently.

• Han Debiao battles several hundred azure demon wolves and their mid-grade third-rank Wolf King. His powerful body cultivation, Spirit-Breaking Staff, Killing Intent, and reforged Soaring Firecloud Boots let him withstand their attacks and kill the Wolf King.

• Han Changming’s two Spirit-Devouring Earthworms awaken and advance to the third rank. He begins using them to locate rare spirit herbs.

Through coordinated attacks by the Thunderfire Awl, Thunder Rhino Beetle, Amethyst Flying Scorpion, Earth Guardian, and Shadowless Needle, he kills the scorpion and obtains both its demon core and the mushroom.
• A powerful crimson flood dragon appears while pursuing two Golden Core cultivators. Han Changming narrowly escapes its attack by using the Void Origin Insect to create a small spatial hiding place. This reveals the insect’s crucial defensive ability and confirms that the ruins contain dangerous high-grade demon beasts.

Character Developments

• Han Changming remains cautious but determined, balancing the pursuit of treasure with awareness of the ruins’ dangers. His growing collection of spirit insects and coordinated combat methods demonstrate increasing strategic sophistication.

• Ye Xin is shown as patient and resourceful. Though she lacks powerful magic treasures, she makes effective use of the Amethyst Crystal Insects Han Changming gave her, reinforcing their emotional and practical bond.
• Cheng Guangbei remains independent and pragmatic. His life as a Rogue Cultivator has made him accustomed to danger and self-reliance, while his Wine Bees serve as valuable exploration tools.
