Zhang Yuanqing and the other contestants reached the blank signboard marking the central forest, but an invisible barrier blocked them because they had not met the entry requirements. After five hours, the dungeon announced that the slaughter of the forest spirits had awakened Tree King Su and ordered all survivors to flee into the middle of the forest.

• Zhang Yuanqing traveled with Peony Fairy and Asano Ryo, warned Asano not to answer a voice calling her from behind, and reached a blank signboard in the forest.
• Asano Ryo and Zhang Yuanqing tried to cross into the central forest but struck an invisible barrier and received a notice that they had not met the requirements for the next stage.

• Spirit Realm Walkers gathered near the barrier and discussed the unknown requirements, noting that even All Under Heaven Returns to Fire could not pass.
• When five hours elapsed, all 120 surviving contestants learned that their slaughter had awakened Tree King Su and were ordered to flee into the middle of the forest.

The Tree King attacked Spirit Realm Walkers who had killed tree demons, while Asano Ryo revealed her powerful ice technique to survive its assault. As the survivors gathered to fight the Tree King, Zhang Yuanqing used Spirit Inquiry to uncover a new precaution and began piecing together how to enter the forest’s middle layer.

• The Tree King summoned its vines and awakened nearby tree demons, but Asano Ryo used Frost Descends to freeze the vines and the surrounding forest before collapsing from exhaustion.
• Zhang Yuanqing learned that Asano Ryo could use Frost Descends only three times a day, and he and Peony Fairy realized that both the Tree King and the Monkey King might retaliate against those who killed their kin.
• After the Tree King's attacks killed more Spirit Realm Walkers, Peeping at Abalone Through a Tube gathered independent cultivators, officials, Evil Professions, and foreign Walkers to join Zhao Chenghuang and A Yi in fighting the boss.

• Zhang Yuanqing used Spirit Inquiry on several corpses and learned a new precaution stating that monkeys guarded the forest and lived in jungles filled with wild fruit.
• Zhang Yuanqing formed a hypothesis about entering the second stage as Walkers from both factions struggled toward the Tree King's location.

Zhang Yuanqing discovered that eating berries from the monkeys’ territory changed his faction to Mountain God and let him enter the middle of the forest, while the gathered Spirit Realm Walkers fought the Tree King. The Tree King revived after Nine-Leak Fish struck its heart, and as night fell, Zhang Yuanqing called the official Walkers to assemble.

• Zhang Yuanqing reasoned that entering the second stage required choosing a faction and tested whether picking and eating the monkeys’ berries could change his allegiance.

He rescued Guan Ya from a trap and brought her to the signboard, where they entered the middle forest and received a new team-formation mission.

• Yuanshi Tianzun called for the official Walkers, and the leaderboard revealed that he had gained 120 points by completing a side quest.

• Yuanshi Tianzun lent Guan Ya a powerful equipment set, and she discovered its price made her go into heat and answer questions truthfully.
• Yuanshi Tianzun gave Guan Ya a red fruit, and they crossed into the middle forest together before receiving a mission to form a team.

Zhang Yuanqing led a team into the Maze Forest to protect the Mountain God Scepter, while other teams spread out to reduce the risk of disaster. After the forest’s fog appeared, a Wood Demon girl was suddenly killed, leaving the team unaware of what had attacked her.

• Zhang Yuanqing learned that the team’s mission was to protect the Mountain God Temple and warned the group that the mountain paths held Saint-level dangers.
• Kou Beiyue and the chubby fellow found discarded red fruits, but a notification told them the Tree King had already fallen and ordered them to help eliminate the monkey troop.

• The team followed the maze map on foot, while Zhang Yuanqing’s attempt to fly above the trees and the Wood Demon’s attempt to communicate with them both failed.
• A dense fog covered the path, and a Wood Demon girl was found dead with her head severed before she could use her Revive skill.

Zhang Yuanqing’s group faced an invisible attacker in Maze Forest’s dense fog, and he realized the danger was a Bewitching Demon’s power that tracked movement through the mist. Meanwhile, Zhao Chenghuang’s group encountered a bewitched corpse, leaving only five of them conscious and facing their possessed companions.

• Zhang Yuanqing investigated Ai Ai’s sudden decapitation, but Spirit Inquiry revealed that she had not known what killed her.
• After Rain Girl Has No Melon survived a similar unseen attack, Zhang Yuanqing inferred that the attacker struck every five minutes and ordered his group to stop moving and hold their breath.
• When no one was attacked during the next interval, Zhang Yuanqing’s group confirmed that remaining still had kept all fourteen members alive.
• Zhao Chenghuang’s group found a hanging Mountaineer corpse whose Bewitching Eye incapacitated most of the team and left five members to restrain their bewitched companions.

Zhang Yuanqing’s team crossed the Fog Spider Territory by stopping whenever the Fog Master’s mist could detect them, then learned that the evil camp had surged ahead in points and entered the maze behind them. The chapter left both camps on the same route, with Zhang Yuanqing’s team unable to ambush their pursuers because of the positioning function.

• Zhang Yuanqing identified the evil cultivator’s power as that of a Fog Master and told the team to walk for four minutes, then freeze for one.

• The Mountain Ghost Camp reached the Maze Forest and appeared on the team’s map along the same route, prompting Guan Ya to suggest an ambush that Zhang Yuanqing said the positioning function made impossible.

Zhang Yuanqing separated his spirit from his body and set a poisoned spike trap, planning to ambush the evil faction with Mist Spider. He trapped the pursuing group but discovered that the top Illusionists had anticipated his attack and surrounded him.

• Jiang Jingwei proposed that the team stay and fight the evil faction, but Zhang Yuanqing rejected the plan and considered All Under Heaven Returns to Fire’s suggestions.
• Guan Ya proposed using Mist Spider against the evil faction’s spirit bodies, and Zhang Yuanqing confirmed that the location cursor tracked physical bodies.
• Zhang Yuanqing left Guan Ya with Little Doubi, sent his spirit to hide with Ghost Bride, and set poisoned spike traps along the path.
• Guan Ya asked Asano Ryo to protect her as the group continued through the maze, while Zhang Yuanqing watched the enemy markers approach the fog’s exit.
• When the evil faction emerged from the fog, Zhang Yuanqing triggered Mist Spider and attacked A Yi, but his target vanished as an illusion.
• A Good Minister Chooses a Lord to Slay, My Fate Is Mine, Not Heaven’s, Human Nature Is Evil, and five others surrounded Zhang Yuanqing and Ghost Bride.

Zhang Yuanqing escaped an ambush by the evil faction after killing Human Nature Is Evil, then rejoined his team and discussed the suspected traitor. As the group entered the Forest of Reproduction, the Walkers’ chests began to swell, leaving everyone stunned.

• The Ghost Bride disrupted the Illusionists’ attacks, and Zhang Yuanqing recovered his strength with moonlight before killing Human Nature Is Evil and fleeing with Blood Rose.
• Kou Beiyue intercepted A Yi long enough for Zhang Yuanqing and Blood Rose to escape, while the evil faction’s Walkers discovered that Human Nature Is Evil had died.
• Zhang Yuanqing returned to Guan Ya’s group, and All Under Heaven Returns to Fire warned him that The Little Match Boy had been touching trees along the route.
• Guan Ya suspected All Under Heaven Returns to Fire was the mole and reasoned that he had tried to shift suspicion onto The Little Match Boy.
• The group received a warning upon entering the Forest of Reproduction, where the women’s and then the men’s chests began swelling dramatically.

Zhang Yuanqing used the Demon Subduing Pestle to suppress the parasitic spores attacking his team as they crossed Reproduction Forest, then led them into Moving Forest. The rulers watching the slaughter instance noticed his power, while a golden streak approached them through the starry sky.

• The spores caused the team's chests to swell and began consuming their life force, killing an Earth Monster and severely harming a Fire Master.
• Cattle-Pen Mountain Little Fairy identified the threat as spores, and All Under Heaven Returns to Fire found that Fire Masters could temporarily suppress them with fire-element spiritual power.
• Zhang Yuanqing used the Demon Subduing Pestle's Solar Power to reduce the swelling and treat the team, repeating the purification as they traveled through Reproduction Forest.
• The team received ten points for passing through Reproduction Forest, and Guan Ya obtained the Frenzied Reproductive Spores consumable.
• Long Live White Tiger warned that another crisis likely awaited near the route's exit, and the team entered Moving Forest.
• The rulers saw Zhang Yuanqing wield the Demon Subduing Pestle, and a golden streak approached the Female Marshal, the Fear Heavenly King, the president, and the cult leader.

Lady of Three Paths Mountain tried to break into the slaughter dungeon but was stopped by the Spirit Realm, while Zhang Yuanqing’s team became scattered in the Moving Forest. Zhang Yuanqing reunited the team and led them out by timing the forest’s spatial transfers, then demanded to know who had received a reward item.

• Lady of Three Paths Mountain attacked the Transcendence Realm slaughter dungeon with golden arrows but could not penetrate its barrier, and Dog Elder’s offer to recruit her failed.
• Zhang Yuanqing learned from Human Nature Is Evil’s memories that No Taboos had used a snail-shaped earpiece, but the Moving Forest suddenly separated him from his teammates.
• Zhang Yuanqing used the Demon Subduing Pestle to confirm the forest was teleporting people, then reunited with Jiang Jingwei and found the other teammates by calling out and checking their ears.
• All Under Heaven Returns to Fire proposed marking reference points to measure the forest’s safe interval, and the team found Music Idiot while following the plan.
• Zhang Yuanqing’s team timed the transfers and escaped the Moving Forest, earning ten points; Zhang Yuanqing then asked who had received a reward item.

Zhang Yuanqing accused two Walkers of being Dark Night Rose’s spy and had them restrained, but Music Idiot revealed himself as the real traitor and sent the team back to the Moving Forest. As the evil faction reached the Mountain God Temple to seize the staff, Zhang Yuanqing appeared beside them with Guan Ya, ready to confront them.

• Zhang Yuanqing suspected the Walker who received the Moving Forest reward of being the traitor and named The Little Match Boy and All Under Heaven Returns to Fire as suspects.

• Music Idiot revealed himself as the Dark Night Rose traitor and used a forest sandbox to transport the group back to the Moving Forest.
• Music Idiot met A Yi and No Taboos outside the temple and directed the evil faction to the Mountain God Staff.
• A Yi noticed a pair of boots by a bluestone, and Zhang Yuanqing appeared beside them with Guan Ya, saying he had returned to retrieve them.

Zhang Yuanqing exposed Music Idiot as the mole and returned to the Mountain God Temple with Guan Ya, where he killed Music Idiot and faced the Mountain Ghost Camp. He activated the Empress Earth Boots, gaining Saint-level strength as Zhao Chenghuang’s team raced through the Forest of Stone Giants to support him.

• Zhao Chenghuang’s team learned that the Mountain Ghost Camp had reached the summit while Yuanshi Tianzun’s team had returned to the Maze Forest, and Sun Miaomiao suspected a mole had helped them.

• Zhao Chenghuang’s team encountered a stone giant and hurried to defeat it so they could support Yuanshi Tianzun before the Mountain Ghost Camp claimed the staff.

Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya fought off the Mountain Ghost Camp’s assault on the Mountain God Temple, but coordinated attacks overwhelmed Zhang Yuanqing’s stone giant form. He activated a water-and-fire formation that trapped the attackers inside the temple, where two clay figures of him appeared.

• Zhang Yuanqing used gravity and terrain to hold back the Mountain Ghost Camp while Guan Ya shot A Yi and fought No Taboos and All Under Heaven Is White at the temple entrance.
• No Taboos ordered All Under Heaven Is White to hold Guan Ya while A Yi and the others attacked Zhang Yuanqing; A Yi and Zhang Yuanqing fought in giant forms.
• Shatter the High Heavens, the Illusionists, the Fire Masters, the Wood Demons, Nine-Leak Fish, and Only I Alone Am Supreme combined their abilities to melt and shatter Zhang Yuanqing’s stone armor, sending him crashing into the temple.
• The Mountain Ghost Camp charged into the temple as Kou Beiyue considered seizing the staff, while Guan Ya retreated inside.
• Zhang Yuanqing threw out a ritual robe and formed a water-and-fire Taiji barrier, trapping the attackers; two clay figures of him appeared and taunted them.

Zhang Yuanqing used the Yin-Yang Robe to trap the Mountain Ghost Camp, but his opponents found a way to attack his spirit and forced him to withdraw the formation. Just as they rushed for the Mountain God’s staff, his reinforcements arrived, and No Taboos ordered a retreat.

• The Mountain Ghost Camp failed to break out of Zhang Yuanqing’s Yin-Yang formation, and the water avatar redirected I Alone Reign Supreme’s river to strengthen the water formation.
• The trapped Walkers shattered both avatars, but they repeatedly reformed until Red Rose used a mental attack and her xun to weaken them; the Illusionists also tried to extinguish the fire avatar’s emotions.
• Zhang Yuanqing withdrew the formation after the water avatar reversed the Yin-Yang Robe’s flow, then realized the Empress Earth Boots’ Honest Man restriction had kept him from using other items.
• The Mountain Ghost Camp rushed for the Mountain God’s staff as Zhang Yuanqing announced his reinforcements had arrived: the Ghost Bride, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, and their group.
• Seeing the reinforcements arrive and their morale falter, No Taboos ordered the Mountain Ghost Camp to retreat and pursue the Lost City instead.

Zhang Yuanqing held off the Mountain Ghost Camp at the Mountain God Temple, allowing Zhao Chenghuang's group to secure the staff. As the two camps prepared for the next stage in the Lost City, the Empress Earth Boots made Zhang Yuanqing unusually honest, and his allies pressed him to keep an old promise to Yuan Ting.

Zhang Yuanqing kept his promise by revealing secrets about Demon Lord, the Lord of Weapons Cult, and Fu Qingyang, causing trouble with both the powerful figures listening outside and his companions in the temple. After the group completed the Mountain God Temple side mission, they received instructions to enter Lost City at dawn and inspect the seal.

• Zhang Yuanqing told Yuan Ting and the others that the Hundred Flowers Society Grand Elder’s daughter and granddaughter had both been involved with Demon Lord, and Guan Ya revealed they were Ling Jun’s aunt and cousin.

• Zhang Yuanqing concluded that the group had misunderstood Side Quest Four.

Zhang Yuanqing’s group discovered that the Mountain Ghost Camp was also seeking an item from the level-four Bewitching Demon, then lured the monster out to study it. The monster tracked their corpse puppets back to the group and pursued them through the ruins, leaving Zhang Yuanqing trying to divert it as the chapter ended.

• Zhang Yuanqing shared his deductions about the Mountain Ghost Camp’s mission, and All Under Heaven Returns to Fire proposed that they sought an item to complete the blood-pool ritual.
• Guan Ya shot animals to lure the monster while Zhang Yuanqing and the Taiyi Sect used corpse puppets to observe it; they confirmed it was a level-four Fog Master but could not see its appearance.
• Zhang Yuanqing recommended exploring Lost City and locating the four formations before confronting the monster, but the fog silently followed their returning corpse puppets.
• The monster charged the Mountain God Camp, swallowed two Spirit Realm Walkers, and forced the group to flee as Zhang Yuanqing searched for a way to draw it away.
• Zhang Yuanqing asked Peeping at Abalone Through a Tube for a defensive item, and Peeping at Abalone Through a Tube threw him a tattered coat.

Zhang Yuanqing used Blood Rose to lure an intelligent, powerful monster away from the Mountain God Camp, then shared what he learned about its abilities while the group searched for the seals. The Mountain Ghost Camp debated how to escape their hiding place and contact the officials, and A Good Minister Chooses a Lord to Slay volunteered to approach the Mountain God Camp.

• Zhang Yuanqing controlled Blood Rose, provoked the intelligent dried corpse, and escaped its attacks by using the corpse puppet’s items and abilities to draw the monster away from the Mountain God Camp.
• The Mountain God Camp regrouped, and Zhang Yuanqing explained that the monster retained its Bewitching abilities, Saint Realm speed and strength, and Mark skill.
• The group found four sealed locations but could not enter them without obtaining the quest item, while Blood Rose evaded the monster through the sewers.
• The Mountain Ghost Camp remained concealed beneath an item that prevented movement, but its members grew desperate to move and attend to bodily needs.
• Red Rose proposed contacting the Mountain God Camp to form an alliance, and A Good Minister Chooses a Lord to Slay volunteered to go.

Kou Beiyue found Yuanshi Tianzun and secured an alliance between the Mountain Ghost Camp and the Mountain God Camp to face the dungeon’s boss. He returned to his relocated companions with Yuanshi Tianzun’s agreement, while the camps’ dangerous missions and hidden trump cards remained unresolved.

• Kou Beiyue volunteered to find Yuanshi Tianzun, shouted his name across the city, and met him near the Mountain God Camp’s shelter.
• Kou Beiyue told Zhang Yuanqing that the Mountain Ghost Camp had been Marked by the monster and was relying on Nine-Leak Fish’s item to stay alive.
• Zhang Yuanqing rejected waiting or attacking the Mountain Ghost Camp and agreed to meet them and form an alliance against the boss.

• Kou Beiyue returned to the relocated Mountain Ghost Camp, where No Taboos asked whether he had met Yuanshi Tianzun and what he had said.

Kou Beiyue returned with news that the Mountain Ghost Camp and Mountain God Camp had agreed to unite against the level-four Fog Master. The two camps devised a way to disperse the fog and began fighting the monster, leaving the battle underway after their combined attack failed to harm it.

• Kou Beiyue told No Taboos that Yuanshi Tianzun had agreed to an alliance, and the Mountain Ghost Camp traveled to meet the Mountain God Camp.

• The two camps prepared traps and weapons, then Zhang Yuanqing entered the fog to draw the Fog Master into battle.
• Zhang Yuanqing, Zhao Chenghuang's Yin Corpse, No Taboos, All Under Heaven Is White, and A Yi attacked the Fog Master while Asano Ryo and the Fire Masters created a powerful wind that dispersed most of the fog.
• A Yi struck the Fog Master's head with his bone-spike sword, but the attack failed to injure it.

Zhang Yuanqing and the two camps battled a powerful mummified Fog Master whose defenses, bewitchment, and blood-draining ability overwhelmed them. After the team weakened it and opened a wound in its chest, Zhang Yuanqing used the Ghost Doll and Ghost Bride to restrain it and destroyed it with the Demon Subduing Pestle.

• The mummy broke A Yi’s bone sword, wounded him, and used its Bewitching Eye to turn Crossing Pawn and other Spirit Realm Walkers against their allies.
• The two camps coordinated to weaken and restrain the mummy, but it survived Red Rose’s Soul-Seizing Grand Array and began draining its victims’ blood to restore its strength.
• Zhang Yuanqing realized the mummy could not regenerate, and Jiang Jingwei, Zhao Chenghuang, All Under Heaven Returns to Fire, and others damaged its chest until Nine-Leak Fish cut through its defenses.
• The mummy broke free and charged toward the gathered Spirit Realm Walkers, but Zhang Yuanqing’s Ghost Doll and Ghost Bride possessed it and held it in place.
• Zhang Yuanqing drove the Demon Subduing Pestle into the mummy’s chest wound, burning it down until only a skeleton remained.

Yuanshi Tianzun killed the Unwilling Evil Cultivator and received a Forest Heart as the Mountain God Camp and Mountain Ghost Camp earned rewards and temporary protection. He tried to recruit members of the Mountain Ghost Camp during the safe period, but Red Rose rallied them against his offer, leaving the camps to prepare for the next mission.

• Yuanshi Tianzun killed the Unwilling Evil Cultivator, and the Spirit Realm Walkers received point rewards while he obtained the Forest Heart.

• Yuanshi Tianzun tested the safe period by shooting at Kou Beiyue, then offered eligible Mountain Ghost Camp members amnesty, payment, and protection if they joined the Songhai Branch.
• Red Rose countered Yuanshi Tianzun's offer with an emotional appeal, and No Taboos led the Mountain Ghost Camp away.
• All Under Heaven Returns to Fire discussed the failed recruitment attempt with Yuanshi Tianzun, who gathered the Mountain God Camp and asked who had the last Forest Heart.

Zhang Yuanqing divided the Mountain God Camp into four teams to reinforce the formations and prepared for the Mountain Ghost Camp to concentrate its attack on the weakest position. After scouts revealed the defenders at the final two formations, No Taboos’s group debated whether to attack Yuanshi Tianzun’s position or the downtown shopping mall.

• Zhang Yuanqing explained the four-formation mission and proposed sending eleven people to each of the first two formations, nine to the third, and five to the fourth.
• Zhang Yuanqing assigned the third formation to Taiyi Sect members, Crossing Pawn, and the Undead Knight, while he, Zhao Chenghuang, Guan Ya, Jiang Jingwei, and Asano Ryo took the fourth.
• No Taboos rallied the Mountain Ghost Camp and ordered Wood Demons to scout the Mountain God Camp’s movements.
• The Mountain Ghost Camp followed the enemy as eleven defenders entered each of the first two formations and nine entered the downtown shopping mall.
