Lu Ye arrived in time to rescue Tang Jun from two Moon Jade Realm cultivators, killing one with a single saber strike while Ma Shangsi forced the other to flee. As they returned by Star Boat, Lu Ye assessed the injuries Drawing Saber Slash had caused him.

• Two Moon Jade Realm cultivators attacked Tang Jun, and he endured their assault with defensive Magic Treasures and a Red Talisman while waiting for help.
• Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi arrived, and Ma Shangsi trapped one attacker in a Blood Sea while Lu Ye rushed to Tang Jun.
• The Weapon Cultivator tricked Tang Jun into dropping the Red Talisman's protection and struck him down, but Lu Ye killed the attacker with one saber strike and caught Tang Jun before he fell into the sea.
• Ma Shangsi's opponent escaped the Blood Sea and fled, so Lu Ye chose not to pursue him and reunited with Ma Shangsi and Tang Jun.
• Lu Ye took Tang Jun and Ma Shangsi away on a Star Boat, then examined the damage Drawing Saber Slash had done to his body.

After Three Realms Island’s cultivators survived coordinated ambushes, Lu Ye joined the island’s leaders to discuss who had targeted them. Tang Jun explained that the attacks might be connected to the Myriad Phenomena Sea’s unwritten practice of Spirit Islands offering Mountain Worship to local Sunlight cultivators in exchange for protection.

• Lu Ye met Luan Xiao'e and He Baichuan, who reported that three Moon Jade Realm cultivators had intercepted them after two others attacked Tang Jun.

• Tang Jun told Lu Ye that he had gone to Myriad Phenomena Island for Mountain Worship.
• Tang Jun explained that Spirit Islands offered Sunlight cultivators places for their juniors and followers in exchange for protection.

Lu Ye learned that Three Realms Island needed a Sunlight’s protection after becoming an upper-grade Spirit Island, but Tang Jun’s attempt to seek Yuan Du’s backing ended in an ambush. Lu Ye deduced that someone had leaked Tang Jun’s movements and that the attack was part of a plan to weaken Three Realms Island, leaving Luan Xiao'e shaken by how close she had come to danger.

• Tang Jun revealed that he had sought Yuan Du’s backing but had been dismissed without meeting him.
• Lu Ye suspected that someone had tipped off Tang Jun’s ambushers, who nearly killed him after his visit to Myriad Phenomena Island.
• Luan Xiao'e said Yan Miao and Cheng Xin had registered as Three Realms Island’s Moon Jade Realm cultivators and helped defend it from several factions.
• Lu Ye reasoned that the ambush was designed to draw Luan Xiao'e out and intercept her, leaving Three Realms Island vulnerable to attack.

Lu Ye set Three Realms Island’s strategy after enemies ambushed Tang Jun and their scheme involving Yuan Du failed. He planned to strengthen the island’s Lingyu supply, identify and retaliate against the attackers, and prepare Three Realms Island for future growth.

• Lu Ye returned with Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan, disrupting the enemies’ ambush of Tang Jun and forcing their other attackers to withdraw from fighting Luan Xiao'e and He Baichuan.

• Three Realms Island’s cultivators prepared for battle as the island’s leaders set its development strategy and its Nine Provinces cultivators continued advancing rapidly.

Lu Ye brought He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi to register replacements for Three Realms Island, but learned that the cultivators being replaced had to appear in person. While they waited for Tang Jun and Cheng Xin, He Baichuan spotted one of the Moon Jade Realm cultivators who had ambushed Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun, giving Lu Ye a chance to investigate the enemy faction.

• Lu Ye tried to register He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi as replacements, but the clerk refused because the cultivators being replaced were absent.
• Lu Ye sent for Tang Jun and Cheng Xin, then waited with He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi at a nearby tea house.
• He Baichuan recognized one of the cultivators who had intercepted Luan Xiao'e and him, and saw that the man had entered the registration hall with another Moon Jade Realm cultivator.
• Lu Ye realized the pair were likely filling the vacancy left by the Moon Jade Realm cultivator he had killed and ordered Ma Shangsi to follow them and identify their Spirit Island.
• Ma Shangsi tracked the two cultivators as they left Myriad Phenomena Island, while Lu Ye and He Baichuan followed his messages.

Lu Ye traced the cultivators who ambushed Tang Jun to Baiyue Island and learned that Yu Huan was likely among them. He decided to strike first despite Zhou Chuang offering Northern Profound’s support, and Zhou explained that the Four Directions Star System had also encountered Yuan Du while trying to seize a high-grade Spirit Island.

• Lu Ye, He Baichuan, and Ma Shangsi met on a Barren Island, where Ma Shangsi said the two cultivators he had followed had vanished near two possible Spirit Islands.
• Lu Ye contacted Tang Jun, who suggested asking the Four Directions Star System for information, and Lu Ye summoned Zhou Chuang.
• Ma Shangsi showed Zhou Chuang an Image Retention Stone, and Zhou Chuang identified one of the cultivators as likely Yu Huan of Baiyue Island.
• Lu Ye told Zhou Chuang that Baiyue Island had ambushed his people and that he intended to strike first, but declined Northern Profound’s offer to help because the conflict involved the Sunlight cultivator Yuan Du.
• Zhou Chuang said the Four Directions Star System had tried to seize a high-grade Spirit Island but was ambushed by a faction protected alongside their target by Yuan Du.

Lu Ye learned that Three Realms Island needed to strengthen its defenses before attacking Baiyue Island, but its limited Lingyu and forces made the plan difficult. He proposed a risky solution to break the deadlock, keeping his reasons involving the Small Star Constellation Hall secret.

• Zhou Chuang warned Lu Ye that Baiyue Island's allies could attack Three Realms Island while its forces were away.
• Lu Ye returned to Three Realms Island and confirmed that Baiyue Island had attacked them, then argued that a decisive battle was necessary to secure the island's future.
• Tang Jun and He Baichuan urged the group to strengthen Three Realms Island's defenses before attacking, but Luan Xiao'e revealed that they had little Lingyu to spare.
• Luan Xiao'e pointed out that dividing their five deployable Moon Jade Realm cultivators and one thousand Star Constellation cultivators between attack and defense could leave both islands vulnerable.
• Tang Jun suggested seeking help from a Sunlight Realm cultivator, but Lu Ye rejected the idea because their small force would not earn that cultivator's support.
• Lu Ye presented a risky plan to the gathered cultivators, while keeping his connection to the Small Star Constellation Hall to himself.

Lu Ye and the cultivators of Three Realms Island prepared a counterattack against Baiyue Island, waiting two months for an opportunity. When Zhou Chuang reported that Chu Zhu had left Baiyue Island, Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi moved to intercept her while Three Realms Island mobilized.

• The Assembly Hall agreed to Lu Ye's plan to break Baiyue Island's defenses from within and placed Three Realms Island on combat readiness.
• Three Realms Island concealed itself with mist, while Yu Huan and the other Baiyue Island cultivators mistook the move for a precaution and vowed to avenge Junior Brother Wang.

• Zhou Chuang met Chu Zhu openly and traveled with her, allowing Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi to prepare secretly nearby.

• After half an hour, Lu Ye stopped and threatened to take Chu Zhu to Baiyue Island and carve him into a thousand pieces before Yu Huan and the others.

Lu Ye lured Chu Zhu into a soul battle, overwhelmed him with the Ghost Ship, and tried to enslave him so he could undermine Baiyue Island from within. When Chu Zhu resisted Soul Control to the point of shattering, Lu Ye used A Touch of Spiritual Connection to search his memories, leaving himself to sift through the chaotic information.

• Lu Ye provoked Chu Zhu into launching a soul battle, while Zhou Chuang worried and Ma Shangsi explained that it was part of Lu Ye's plan.
• Inside Lu Ye's Divine Sea, Chu Zhu encountered the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus and Ghost Ship, then was defeated and captured by Lu Ye.

• Chu Zhu resisted Soul Control so fiercely that his Soul Body began to shatter, forcing Lu Ye to abandon the attempt.

After killing Chu Zhu, Lu Ye disguised himself as him and infiltrated Baiyue Island to sabotage its defenses. He entered a guarded formation hub and ordered the hall formation activated so he could inspect the island-protecting array.

• Lu Ye confirmed Chu Zhu's death, took his Storage Ring, and declined Zhou Chuang's offer of help as he hurried toward Baiyue Island with Ma Shangsi.

Lu Ye used Chu Zhu’s identity to infiltrate Baiyue Island and destroy four of its eight Grand Array Formation Bases with forces hidden in the Little Flower Realm. After killing Liu Yu and escaping Yu Huan’s attack, he declared that Three Realms Island would destroy Baiyue Island, while Yu Huan summoned an ally to intervene.
