Chapter Summaries

After Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi’s betrothal, Sikong Jing considered how to replace Ye Wucan as Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s lord and discovered a possible clue to restoring Ye Wuzhi’s crippled leg. Ye Wuzhi then showed him the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, which held the manor’s true martial intent.

• News spread that Sikong Jing had killed Cold Dragon Patriarch and his disciple, Willow Leaf Holy Manor had seized Dragon Controlling Mountain’s Qianyuan Fragment Map, and Sikong Jing would be betrothed to Su Yuexi.
• Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi held a small betrothal ceremony, after which Sikong Jing gave Ye Wuyu an Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Battle-Killing Diagram for Willow Leaf Holy Manor.

• Sikong Jing examined Ye Wuzhi’s leg and studied the Willow Leaf Holy Manor cultivation technique Ye Wuzhi recorded, sensing its endless-vitality attribute and considering combining it with the Tail-Shedding Dragon Lizard.
• Ye Wuzhi led Sikong Jing to the rooftop and pointed out the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, which he said contained Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s true martial intent.

Sikong Jing waited for Ye Wucan to seek his help with the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, then demanded to see Ye Yuexian in exchange for further guidance. Several days later, the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce gathered after Thousand Kings Holy Tower invited Murong Jianyun to discuss the remnants of Su Old Devil.

• Ye Wuzhi told Sikong Jing that observing the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall had caused Su Yuexi's Jade Leaf War Body to erupt, and suggested he negotiate access with Ye Wucan.

• Sikong Jing demanded to see Ye Yuexian in exchange for guiding Willow Leaf Holy Manor's formation masters, but Ye Wucan refused and left.
• Thousand Kings Holy Tower invited Murong Jianyun to discuss dealing with Su Old Devil's remnants, prompting the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce's core figures to gather in Heavenly Judgment Hall.

Murong Jianyun learned that Sikong Jing had slain the Cold Dragon Patriarch, taken Dragon Controlling Mountain’s Qianyuan Fragment Map, and implicated Willow Leaf Holy Manor in the affair. He agreed to support Willow Leaf Holy Manor and keep Sikong Jing safe, then excluded Nan Feng from a private briefing about Sikong Jing.

• Murong Jianyun’s council debated whether he should answer the Thousand Kings’ invitation, and he decided to delay his response.

• Murong Jianyun called Sikong Jing a super saint-body genius, leaving the remaining Heaven Deciders and Earth Deciders stunned.

Murong Jianyun revealed Sikong Jing’s actions in Willow Leaf City and decided the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce would support Willow Leaf Holy Manor and secure its Qianyuan Fragment Maps. After showing the others his research on the fragments, he ordered his allies to confront Dragon Controlling Mountain and begin cooperation with Willow Leaf Holy Manor.

• Murong Jianyun told the chamber’s leaders that Sikong Jing had killed the Cold Dragon Patriarch and forced Willow Leaf Holy Manor into cooperation.
• Murong Jianyun insisted the chamber would support Willow Leaf Holy Manor and argued that gaining two more Qianyuan Fragment Maps was worth the risk.

Murong Jianyun prepared the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce for the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s next move, while Sikong Jing arranged to make himself appear weak in Willow Leaf City. The chapter ended as Sikong Jing began treating Ye Wuzhi’s lame leg with true qi bearing Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s attributes.

• Murong Jianyun ordered Yu Liman to monitor the remaining Heaven Deciders and Earth Deciders in Overlord Heaven City and seize anyone who sent word to Nan Feng, including Dong Wu.
• Murong Jianyun sent Sikong Jing a warning that Willow Leaf City, which held two Qianyuan Fragment Maps, might become the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s next target.
• Xiong Tingting heard rumors portraying Sikong Jing as a troublemaker trapped in Willow Leaf Holy Manor, then received a new cultivation technique from his Fox Gate women.
• Sikong Jing asked Xiong Tingting to spread claims that he had been exiled, lacked a Sacred Body or Battle Body, and had no support from the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
• Sikong Jing began treating Ye Wuzhi’s lame leg, and Ye Wuzhi noticed that Sikong Jing’s true qi carried Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s attributes.

Sikong Jing partially healed Ye Wuzhi’s crippled leg by combining Willow Leaf techniques with demon beast meridians, triggering Ye Wuzhi’s breakthrough into the Venerable realm. He then prepared for the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s suspected move against Willow Leaf City, and Murong Jianyun’s letter supported his concerns.

• Sikong Jing restored sixty to seventy percent of Ye Wuzhi’s leg injury, allowing Ye Wuzhi to break through into the Venerable realm despite still limping.
• Sikong Jing explained that he had fused the Willow Leaf technique with the meridians of the Tail-Shedding Dragon Lizard and Nether Lotus Sea Serpent, and said he needed to observe the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall to finish the healing.

Sikong Jing negotiated with Ye Wucan for the chance to instruct Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, demanding access to the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall for himself and Su Yuexi. He began by choosing a low-status guard who had been deliberately losing, while Ye Wuyu objected.

• Sikong Jing rejected Ye Wucan’s attempt to delay their agreement until Ye Yuexian returned and offered to instruct only one person every three days, chosen by him.
• Sikong Jing demanded access to the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, and Ye Wucan initially refused because it was the manor’s greatest secret.

• Ye Wuyu accused Sikong Jing of choosing a loser on purpose, unaware that the guard had been concealing his ability because of his low status.

Sikong Jing began training Ye Ke in the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and promised to teach him Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s martial arts, while Su Yuexi meditated before the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall. After guiding Ye Ke, Sikong Jing examined the wall and suspected it was another demon box.

• Sikong Jing insisted on choosing the Willow Leaf guard he would guide, and Ye Wucan accepted his choice of Ye Ke.

• Sikong Jing taught Ye Ke the formation and gave him black jade paper containing its illusory realm, while Su Yuexi meditated to grow stronger.
• Sikong Jing examined the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall and wondered whether it was another demon box.

He guided Ye Ke to victory in the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, then left to train another disciple as Ye Wucan discovered Sikong Jing had reached the Heavenly King Realm.

• The Divine Turtle explained to Sikong Jing that magic boxes were vessels that could be made from ancient trees as well as demon beasts.
• Sikong Jing studied the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall and identified the three sources of power within it, focusing on the martial path carved by Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s ancestors.
• After a night of cultivation, Sikong Jing let Ye Wucan take Ye Ke away without revealing what he had learned from the Sacred Wall.
• Ye Ke used Sikong Jing’s guidance to defeat his opponents with the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, and Ye Wucan rewarded him.

• Sikong Jing used the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall to break through to the Heavenly King Realm, then gave Ye Ke a Green Jade Tube containing tailored martial instruction.

• Ye Wucan demanded an explanation, but Sikong Jing refused to choose core disciples, so Ye Wucan reluctantly compromised.
