Key Plot Points and Events

• The Li Chen Sect disciples regroup downstream to stop demonic corpses from drifting toward human settlements after the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea is obstructed.
• Although strengthened by blessings from the Shangqing system and the Eight Sceneries Palace, the disciples grow uneasy about the worsening disaster and wonder what even more terrifying threats may emerge from the Sky-Rifting Valley.
• Their fears are realized when disciplined, highly powerful Blade Ants suddenly appear and attack in formation. Unlike ordinary demonic corpses, these Outer Path creatures possess intelligence, coordinated battle tactics, black soul-affecting flames, and devastating sword-like antennae.
• Canluona projects a terrifying demonic image into the cultivators’ minds and claims that their suffering is the price of receiving Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu’s blessing. Its psychological attack causes doubt and division, with some disciples looking toward Baoguang and wondering whether the blessings can be withdrawn.
• Baoguang rejects the manipulation and curses Canluona, though his words are awkward. The greater danger, however, is the combination of fear and battlefield confusion.
• Meng Wei, head of the Disciplinary Branch, steps into the front line and personally attacks the Blade Ants. She kills one but is gravely wounded by the ants’ counterattack.
• Her declaration that death reveals one’s true nature and that disciples must preserve their righteous ambition inspires the surrounding cultivators. Several Disciplinary Branch disciples follow her into the formation, willingly exchanging injuries and lives to stabilize the line.
• Baoguang saves the Yang God of a disciple whose body was severed, preserving the possibility of reincarnation or survival as a ghost cultivator instead of total spiritual destruction.
• The Li Chen disciples regain unity and develop a rotating defensive formation. Xie Yan and Xie Liang then return, breaking the Blade Ants’ formation and using powerful sword and thunder techniques to force the creatures back.
• Despite the temporary victory, the senior cultivators realize the Blade Ants are only the beginning. Tens of thousands of branches from the Blood Essence Source Wood emerge from the Sky-Rifting Valley, carrying waves of newly born Blade Ants, fire plagues, and the Thousand Poison Dragon.

• Righteousness versus survival: Meng Wei emphasizes that dying for one’s principles may be simpler and more meaningful than surrendering one’s spirit to fear.
• Collective strength: The blessings become truly effective only when the disciples’ thoughts, vital Qi, and resolve converge. Unity transforms individual weakness into group resilience.
• Psychological warfare: Canluona’s greatest weapon is not merely physical destruction but the doubt and suspicion it plants in human hearts.
• Sacrifice and preservation: The chapter contrasts Meng Wei’s willingness to risk her life with Baoguang’s effort to preserve the spirit of the fallen, showing that resistance includes both dying bravely and saving whatever can still be saved.
• The inevitability and scale of catastrophe: The emergence of the Blood Essence Source Wood’s branches reveals that the Blade Ant attack was only an advance wave. The birth of vast numbers of Outer Path creatures makes “Star Burial” increasingly unavoidable.
