As the fighting continued, Kuang Yanqi’s hidden shadow appeared and asked what treasure Yu Ci had displayed on Tianyi Tower.

Kuang Yanqi confronted the Shadow Puppet inhabiting Tu Du’s Yin Spirit while Yu Ci learned to wield the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror through his Yin Spirit. The mirror’s starlight spread across the area by entering living beings, and Yu Ci realized its scattered viewpoints resembled the Zhaoshen Map before detecting two people on the cliff.

• Kuang Yanqi remembered swallowing a Heavenly Demon Seed after the Shadow Puppet promised to take him north and teach him demonic cultivation.
• Yu Ci lodged his Yin Spirit in the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror and discovered that its starlight could transform his soul-sense and illuminate nearby living beings.

Tu Du used the Void Heart Demon Spider Shadow Curse to trap the people around Tianyi Tower in a net of fear and heart demons, but Yu Ci resisted with the True Return Purple Smoke Warm Jade and pursued him. Yu Ci reached the cliff top and activated a blood-marked talisman with the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror as the Dao Scripture Master Treasure Seal appeared on his shoulder.

• Tu Du vanished into the shadows as a Void-Stepping battle’s light waves filled Juebi City, while Yu Ci sensed changes in Tu Du’s whereabouts.

• Yu Ci pierced his palm with a sharpened jade talisman, marked the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror with his blood, and reached the cliff top.
• The Dao Scripture Master Treasure Seal floated onto Yu Ci’s shoulder as a faint talismanic incantation sounded.

Yu Ci used the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror and the Xuancang Flying Star Great Refinement Technique to strike Tu Du’s Yin spirit, weakening him despite his shadow curse. Tu Du redirected some of the damage through his web of bound souls, and Yu Ci’s fallen Pure Yang Talisman Sword suddenly sprang up.

• Yu Ci shattered his jade talisman and channeled its stored force through the Dao Scripture Master Treasure Seal and Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror toward Tu Du.
• Tu Du covered Yu Ci with his shadow curtain and used the Void Heart Demon Spider Shadow Curse to draw power from bound cultivators and commoners.
• Yu Ci activated the Xuancang Flying Star Great Refinement Technique through the mirror, calling on stellar power to strike Tu Du’s Yin spirit.
• The stellar attack shrank Tu Du’s Yin spirit and dispersed his shadows, but his web began transferring the damage to the people bound to it.
• Tu Du warned Yu Ci that killing him could also kill the bound people, and Yu Ci fell silent as the Pure Yang Talisman Sword sprang up.

• Lu Mingyue and Ming Lan met while Jin Huan escaped toward the New City, and Monk Yi Xin confirmed Tu Du’s death from the shattered natal plaque.
• The shadows around Yu Ci faded, but an unknown voice praised his spell as a second wave of intense light erupted overhead.

As Juebi City reeled from the battle, Yu Ci encountered Crimson Yin, while the Shadow Puppet began to reform on the mountain. Crimson Yin destroyed it, but Jin Huan attacked her and then spotted someone on the cliff, crashing into the summit as Shi Song and Hu Dan failed to stop him.

• Juebi City’s residents and cultivators endured the battle’s blinding flashes, thunderous explosions, and destruction as Geng Fu recovered on Tianyi Tower.

• Jin Huan struck at Crimson Yin with the Myriad Radiance Pearl, and she emerged from the radiance ready to fight him.
• Jin Huan spotted someone on the shady slope and crashed into the cliff summit as Shi Song and Hu Dan failed to intercept him.

• Yu Ci fled Jin Huan’s spreading flames, while Jin Huan’s attacks missed amid the collapsing mountain.
• Jade Ruler Daoist and the other Core Formation cultivators joined Shi Song and Hu Dan in surrounding Jin Huan.

• Yu Ci’s Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror took the Golden Stone Flow’s blow, flinging Yu Ci away and being hurled off itself.
• A mysterious figure swept away the heat and sent a streak of cold light through Jin Huan’s Golden Stone Flow.

Crimson Yin used the Blade Sacrifice Method to destroy Jin Huan’s Golden Stone Fluid, kill him, and claim the Myriad Radiance Pearl, while Yu Ci’s body lay unconscious with his soul apparently detached. Yu Ci discovered that the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror had pulled his Yin spirit inside and was tearing it apart, just as it scattered sparks of soul power into the world outside.

• Crimson Yin took the Myriad Radiance Pearl, while Hu Dan and Shi Song found Yu Ci unconscious and feared his soul had been scattered.
• Xie Yan arrived and demanded to know what had happened as the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror glimmered unnoticed in the snow.
• Yu Ci recalled that he had driven the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror into the Golden Stone Fluid and been pulled into its central aperture when its power surged.
• Yu Ci struggled against the mirror’s storm-like forces as they tore at his Yin spirit, then felt the mirror scatter over a hundred sparks of his soul power outside.

Yu Ci discovered that the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror was draining his yin spirit and could devour him if he relinquished control, so he used the fish-dragon to observe the nearby cultivators and seek help. As Xie Yan prepared to leave with Yu Ci's body, Yu Ci tried and failed to draw his attention to the mirror, which instead caught Crimson Yin's notice.

• Yu Ci realized the mirror's rapid rotation was consuming his soul power and found that ending his control could make the mirror turn against him.
• Yu Ci used his divine-intent starlight to guide the fish-dragon across the mountain, letting him see the tense gathering on the shaded slope.
• Crimson Yin returned the Myriad Radiance Pearl to Xu Hui, who restrained his anger because Xie Yan was present.
• Xie Yan silently picked up Yu Ci's body, prompting Yu Ci to fear that he would leave the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror behind.
• Yu Ci struggled to lift the mirror to attract Xie Yan's attention, but Crimson Yin noticed it instead.

Crimson Yin secretly drew the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror toward herself while Yu Ci’s Yin spirit remained trapped inside it. Yu Ci escaped through the mirror’s power, but the wind and a mysterious fragrance ignited his exposed spirit, leaving Xie Yan and Ming Lan to notice the disturbance as the fish-dragon leapt from the treetops.

• Crimson Yin covertly sank the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror into the earth and guided it beneath herself while the other cultivators watched Xie Yan and Xu Hui.
• Yu Ci plunged his entire Yin spirit into the mirror’s power and forced it through the mirror’s outer boundary as it emerged beneath Crimson Yin’s skirts.
• Yu Ci’s Yin spirit starlight struck a hidden restraint, then flew into the mountain wind, which tore away its protective shell and caused him intense pain.
• Yu Ci sensed Xie Yan carrying his unconscious body nearby and flew after him, but a fragrant gust caused his Yin spirit to flare and nearly burn apart.
• Ming Lan noticed the disturbance and fixed her gaze on Crimson Yin, while Xie Yan turned back toward its source and saw the fish-dragon spring from the treetops.
