Yu Ci entered the Sword Immortal Secret Realm and became entangled in its three talisman seals, resisting the Sunken Sword Cave master and the Plague Demon while uncovering the realm’s hidden dangers. He reached Donghou Tomb with Hua Xifeng and the others, where most of the Li Chen Sect disciples had fallen to demonic tribulations.

• Yu Ci entered Sunken Sword Cave, met Tie Lan and Incense Slave, and was brought before the Cave Master, who gathered cultivators to break the secret realm’s seals.
• The Cave Master opened a passage into the Sword Immortal Secret Realm, where Yu Ci studied the first talisman seal and discovered that its patterns connected to distant beings and sword-immortal imprints.
• The Cave Master broke through the three seals, but Yu Ci merged with the first seal, defeated the Heavy Artifact Sect’s attack, and used his Analysis ability to simplify and control its patterns.
• Yu Ci learned from Xuan Huang about Qu Wujie, Yuan Dao’s coffin, and the Cave Master’s schemes, then opened the first seal to admit cultivators into Mist Shadow Heaven.
• Pan Chang’s Heavenly Evolution Pearl became the vehicle for a Plague Demon’s attack, and Yu Ci drove off the demonized soul before the Cave Master struck him and forced him to flee into Donghou Tomb.
• Yu Ci exposed demonic possession in Ge Hui, Nie Zong, and Dong Ji, then fought the Pan Huang Three Swords until Hua Xifeng drove them away with the Ethereal Heavenly Sound.
• Hua Xifeng led Yu Ci and the others to the center of Donghou Tomb, where they found most of the Li Chen Sect disciples afflicted by demonic tribulations and several Huan Dan cultivators protecting them with a Heavenly Capital Altar.

Yu Ci battled the Pan Huang Three Swords and the Heavy Artifact Sect leader, then entered Return Manor and gained the Dragon Slaying Manifesting Gauze formula and a mold of the Flying Immortal Sword Scripture. After a mysterious guide warned that Xuanhuang was trapped and near death, Yu Ci crossed the Boundary River to save it.

• Yu Ci treated the poisoned disciples, then followed the Pan Huang Three Swords through a Void Rift into Guixu and encountered the master of Sunken Sword Cave.

Yu Ci obtained the Xuan Huang Killing Sword and was drawn into the struggle over the Boundary River source, where Qu Wujie, the Great Brahma Demon King, and the Rakshasa Ghost King clashed. The passage collapsed, and Xingtian shattered Qu Wujie’s projection before learning that the Karmaless Sword Immortal had gone to the Land of Eternal Damnation.

• Yu Ci crossed into the crimson world, refined his sword intent, and used the black sheath to contain the Xuan Huang Killing Sword’s blood tide.

• Yu Ci entered the Boundary River source as factions converged, survived the Sunken Sword Cave master’s attack, and met Incense Slave and Xia Boyang inside the sealed region.
• Incense Slave confronted the Sunken Sword Cave master, but the Heavy Artifact Sect leader captured her as the master began opening a passage to the Blood Prison Ghost Manor.
• Yu Zhou returned and fought the Heavy Artifact Sect leader and the Sunken Sword Cave master, while Yu Ci tried to disrupt their passage-opening ritual.
• The Great Brahma Demon King appeared as Qu Wujie’s lingering shadow resisted it, and Yu Ci used the Xuan Huang Killing Sword and a blue-light wheel to summon the Boundless One’s moon.
