• A fragment of Yu Ci’s memory showed the Azure Sky Palace’s towering archway and scripture, and the vision suddenly responded.

Yu Ci studied the altered scriptures in his memories and used the Void Divine Ability to begin deciphering them. While watching Lu Suhua at Lu Chen's Palace, he witnessed the frightening power of her Fist Intent and saw her race back across the ruins.

• Yu Ci realized that the scriptures' meanings depended on advanced Void Divine Ability techniques, though he could decipher only a small portion.
• Little Five urgently warned Yu Ci and Shadow Ghost that Lu Suhua had returned and was in Lu Chen's Palace.

Bai Lian and Miao Xiang departed after discussing the Buddha Mother’s offer to take Lu Suhua as a disciple, leaving Yu Ci pondering the meaning of Three Realms Manifestation.

Yu Ci realized Lu Suhua was using a scroll and a bronze bowl containing a Formless Heavenly Demon to threaten Lu Qing, so he attempted to disrupt her preparations with a long-range attack. His talismans instead summoned a celestial being before Lu Suhua, who recognized Yu Ci’s Shangqing Talisman Arts.

• Yu Ci studied a scroll of nine living portraits resembling Lu Suhua and watched her send a Formless Heavenly Demon into it.

• Yu Ci sent a Taiyi Demon Slaying Talisman through the demon and into the scroll, setting them alight before Lu Suhua destroyed the talisman sword.
• Yu Ci ordered Little Five to retreat and added support with a spirit talisman.

Yu Ci used Rakshasa Illusory Power to escape Lu Suhua's pursuit, at the cost of seven or eight years of lifespan. The illusion hid Chengqitian in the Northern Wastes storm, but Bai Lian and Miaoxiang arrived and helped draw Lu Suhua toward its location.

• Yu Ci's talismans badly wounded the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, while Little Five escaped Lu Suhua's attack by fleeing deep underground.

• The image of Lu Chen struck the Outer Realm Calamity Demon’s killing intent, and Lu Qing and Tie Lan fled with help from Yu Ci’s Hidden Sky Talismans.
• Yu Ci found that Lu Suhua had disappeared, then demanded to know what Lu Qing was doing; Lu Qing asked to borrow his mirror.

Yu Ci confronted Lu Qing over her distant response to his help, then learned more about her family’s plans and her mother’s research into the Divine Lord of the Void. Lu Qing gave him a letter for Madame Yellow Springs and entrusted him with the Soul Resonance Jade, asking him to suppress it if her demonic corruption surfaced.

• Yu Ci told Lu Qing about the crisis surrounding the jade wall and relayed what he had learned about Lu Suhua, but Lu Qing focused on her blood sister’s fist practice.
• Yu Ci vented his frustration at Lu Qing’s refusal to deal with him directly, then reconsidered his expectations after the shadow ghost reminded him that his bond with Lu Qing could not match the one he had shared with Yu Zhou.
• Lu Qing asked whether Yu Ci intended to obtain Azure Sky Palace, and he said he only needed to keep others from claiming it for now.
• Lu Qing offered to introduce Yu Ci to her mother, Madame Yellow Springs, who lived on Donghua Mountain and had unmatched knowledge of the Divine Lord of the Void.
• Lu Qing gave Yu Ci a letter for Madame Yellow Springs and the Soul Resonance Jade, explaining that it was linked to her foundation and asking him to suppress it if she showed signs of demonic corruption.

Yu Ci tried to plant his demonic seed in Lu Qing but discovered that her Yang God body had no inner foundation, which remained with Lu Suhua. Lu Qing raced toward Wu Tuo City to settle her blood feud with Bao Yun, while Xiao Wu carried Yu Ci’s group there; elsewhere, Liu Guan responded to a sect decree and asked about Lu Suhua’s movements.

• Lu Qing explained that she planned to fight through the delusional realm and asked Yu Ci to suppress its backlash with the Soul Resonance Jade.
• Yu Ci tried to plant a demonic seed in Lu Qing, but found her Yang God body was only an avatar whose foundation lay with Lu Suhua in Chengqitian.

• Liu Guan asked Kuang Yanqi where Lu Suhua had gone, and Kuang Yanqi reported that Bao Yun had arrived at Wu Tuo City.

The Heart-Snatching Daoist kept the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion’s Seventeen Heavens jade box for himself and tested its bloodlight power in the black storm. When Chou Wu confronted him, the man’s identity proved false, and the jade box turned its seventeen bloodlights on its master.

• At Heaven-Stealing Tower, Zhan Yi challenged the Heart-Snatching Daoist over the jade box, but the sect master dismissed the meeting and ordered the Heaven Seizing Sect members to disperse.
• The Heart-Snatching Daoist escaped Wu Tuo City, entered the black storm, and used the jade box’s bloodlight to drain a Flying Armored Demon Dragon and other creatures.
• He reflected that the jade box might reveal the secrets of Wu Gui Yu Ke and help him reach the True Person realm.
• The Heart-Snatching Daoist confronted Chou Wu in the storm, but Chou Wu held Zhan Yi’s severed head and declared that the Heaven Seizing Sect meant nothing to him.
• The attacker revealed he was not Chou Wu, and after the Heart-Snatching Daoist killed him, the jade box absorbed the man’s vital essence and unleashed seventeen bloodlights against its master.

After possessing Heart-Snatching Daoist, the demon spirit pieced together its memories and reaffirmed its search for the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace and the Xuan Ling Ruler. Unable to enter the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion, it decided to investigate Yu Ci, whose connection to the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror might provide a useful clue.

• The demon spirit finished assimilating Heart-Snatching Daoist and Chou Wu’s remnants, though it still did not know its own identity.
• Heart-Snatching Daoist recalled that finding the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace was his driving purpose and that the Xuan Ling Ruler could lead to it.
• Heart-Snatching Daoist learned from the sand bandits’ intelligence that the Xuan Ling Yin had last been seen with Ling Xi Wanderer before it disappeared.
• Because the conflict involving the Great Brahma Demon King and the current Boundless Void Divine Lord prevented him from visiting the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion, Heart-Snatching Daoist considered the people who had entered it.
• Heart-Snatching Daoist chose Yu Ci as a potential target after learning that Yu Ci was linked to the demonic-seed outbreak and the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror.

Yu Ci entered Wu Tuo City and headed toward the Heavy Artifact Sect while the demonic spirit tracked the heavenly tribulation he had provoked. Yu Qing Xuan appeared to him as a projection and asked what he had done to draw it down.

• The demonic spirit returned to Wu Tuo City, traced rumors about Yu Ci and Lu Suhua, and became interested in the history connecting Liu Guan and Lu Chen.
• The demonic spirit sensed a heavenly tribulation forming in the city and worried that it might endanger everyone nearby.

• Yu Ci crossed the city's black-market stalls, where vendors loudly advertised goods supposedly from the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion.
• Yu Qing Xuan appeared behind Yu Ci as a projection and asked what he had done to provoke a tribulation.

Yu Ci learned that Bao Yun’s inner demons had become a demonic calamity tied to his dead demon, and Yu Qing Xuan arranged to seal her until he crossed the calamity. After Yu Ci reached the Heavy Artifact Sect, Yu Qing Xuan told him that Shu Cheng had negotiated an agreement with Donghua Palace to keep Lu Suhua from troubling him if he withdrew from the matter.

• Yu Ci saw Bao Yun’s demonic transformation and learned from Yu Qing Xuan that her calamity was connected to his dead demon and could spread to those nearby.
• Yu Qing Xuan said she could seal Bao Yun’s vitality and soul, and planned to keep her buried in ice until Yu Ci crossed his calamity.
• Yu Ci arrived at the Heavy Artifact Sect, asked Zhu Wenying about Bao Yun, and decided to follow Yu Qing Xuan’s plan rather than visit her.
• Yu Ci asked Zhu Wenying to contact Yu Qing Xuan, who invited him to meet at a high vantage point in Root City.
• Yu Qing Xuan told Yu Ci that Shu Cheng had reached an agreement with Donghua Palace, under which Lu Suhua would leave him alone if he stopped participating in the matter.

Yu Qing Xuan told Yu Ci that he had to leave the Northern Wastes to honor an agreement with Donghua Palace, but she ultimately chose to send him away without making him decide. A demonic spirit eavesdropped on their thoughts and began plotting to intercept him along the underground river.

• Yu Qing Xuan explained that Lu Suhua had likely discovered Jiu Yan's identity and that Yu Ci needed to leave the Northern Wastes to respect the agreement with Donghua Palace.
• Yu Ci struggled with the choice, torn between his wish to stay and his obligations to Yu Qing Xuan, Ruizhu Palace, and Lu Qing.
• Yu Qing Xuan praised Yu Ci, then struck him with Profound Ice Dissolution and sealed him in ice, ordering him to depart that day with the Thirteen Water Mansions of Blackwater River.
• Yu Qing Xuan said Wen Ying would accompany Yu Ci and that the ice seal would lift after four months, by which time he should have reached the Golden Treasury Water Mansion.
• The demonic spirit in Branch City learned that Yu Ci would travel by underground river and considered intercepting him, but chose to proceed slowly to avoid exposing its true form.

Yu Ci’s Profound Ice Dissolution froze his body and soul, spreading through Chengqitian and Tu Ling Prison while the demonic spirit waited to exploit the seal. When its planted thought revived inside Yu Ci, it discovered his vast self-opened void and recognized a resemblance to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

• The Profound Ice Dissolution sealed Yu Ci, and Zhu Wenying carried him away from Wu Tuo City in a lizard-drawn carriage.
• The freezing force spread through Chengqitian and Tu Ling Prison, trapping Shadow Ghost and devastating the dead demons while Xiaowu escaped.

• The demonic spirit followed Yu Ci’s carriage and entered his revived demonic thought near the underground ferry.
• The demonic spirit found itself inside Yu Ci’s vast, partially sealed self-opened void and recognized its resemblance to the Heavenly Demon Hall divine ability.

The demon spirit infiltrated Yu Ci’s self-created void and surveyed its defenses and treasures while considering a future body-seizing attempt. Yu Ci awoke from the Profound Ice Dissolution still trapped in slow, frozen thought, then noticed a divine power in Equality Heaven reacting to a crucial spiritual light.

• The demon spirit explored Tu Ling Prison, discovered sealed combat strengths and a fragment of Hell Path Karmic Fire, then found its way into the manifested void.
• The demon spirit approached the central dharma altar but avoided its demon-dispelling treasure and two nearby figures, then discovered a juvenile Cloud Tower Tree it hoped to transplant.
• Yu Ci regained consciousness earlier than Yu Qing Xuan expected, but the freezing left his thoughts so slow that a day passed as he assessed his condition.
• Shadow Ghost sent Xiao Wu outside and resumed meditating while Yu Ci struggled to find a way to act despite his frozen soul and flesh.
• A spiritual light caused one of Yu Ci’s divine powers in Equality Heaven to react, and the darkest pictographic black mist began assembling strange images.
