Zhang Xiaofan met Puzhi, the monk who had changed his fate, and quietly examined the mixed feelings he still held toward him. Outside Little Heavenly Sound Temple, Luo Yunji’s chase caused a disturbance that drew Puhong away from them.

• Zhang Xiaofan recognized Puzhi and sat nearby, reflecting on his resentment, lingering hatred, and gratitude toward him.
• Luo Yunji clashed with a monk on the temple roof, and Puhong turned toward the disturbance as the noise threatened their quiet.

• Luo Yunji provoked Pukong into a fight, and Puhong used a golden ripple to send them outside the room.

• Luo Yunji promised to take revenge once Yan Hui recovered, and Yan Hui chose to keep his pig-headed appearance the next day in case more monks attacked them.

Luo Yunji’s brawls at Tianyin Temple led the monks to cure Tian Buyi’s poison ahead of schedule, though the rushed treatment left him weak. As the group returned to Azure Cloud Mountain on Dahei, Zeng Shuchang arrived with news of trouble between Two Mountains and the Acacia Sect.

• Luo Yunji and his companions fought the Tianyin Temple monks repeatedly while he pried stone beasts from the railings, leaving many monks injured.

After returning to Big Bamboo Peak, Luo Yunji was punished for causing trouble, but Su Ru soon let him and Zhang Xiaofan rest. The Quadruplets told Luo Yunji that they had followed the fairy to Heaven-Reaching Peak, leaving him curious about why she went there.

• Luo Yunji took the Quadruplets to pick peaches at Heaven-Reaching Peak, and Su Ru led disciples out to search for them.

• Tian Linger attacked Luo Yunji with the Amber Vermilion Silk as he retreated, while the Quadruplets carried a sack full of peaches.

• Tian Linger stole a bite of Luo Yunji’s peach, prompting him to attack her with Water Ribbons while Lin Jingyu rushed in to help.
• Luo Yunji lashed Lin Jingyu with Water Ribbons, and Tian Linger freed him before she and Luo Yunji began fighting hand to hand in midair.
• Lin Jingyu failed to stop the brawl and was knocked to the ground, so Daoxuan carried Tian Linger and Luo Yunji apart and escorted the group back toward Big Bamboo Peak.
• Zhang Xiaofan came searching for Luo Yunji and found him and Tian Linger disheveled and trading accusations over the peach and peach pits.

Daoxuan visited Small Bamboo Peak and asked Su Ru for the improved Taiji Mystic Purity Dao, which Su Ru and Tian Buyi eventually agreed to give him for the sake of the Azure Cloud Sect. After Su Ru delivered it, she found Tian Buyi staring at a booklet Zhang Xiaofan had written, and she was stunned by its contents.

• Su Ru calmed Tian Linger and Luo Yunji after Daoxuan brought them back, then welcomed Daoxuan into the Black Bamboo Pavilion.
• Daoxuan asked whether the Taiji Mystic Purity Dao had been improved, and Su Ru admitted that it had and explained that it could let disciples reach the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
• Daoxuan returned to Heaven-Reaching Peak without asking outright, and Tian Buyi later woke from a nightmare about compensating Tianyin Temple with a new temple.
• Su Ru told Tian Buyi that Daoxuan had asked for the cultivation method, and they decided to send it to Heaven-Reaching Peak after discussing its importance alongside the Dragon Slayer Art and the Heavenly Book.
• Su Ru delivered the cultivation method to Daoxuan, then returned to find Tian Buyi staring at a booklet written by Zhang Xiaofan; she read it and was left in disbelief.

Su Ru learned that the Taiji Mystic Purity Dao had been revised using the Heavenly Book, while Tian Buyi revealed the full extent of Zhang Xiaofan and Luo Yunji’s exploits at Tianyin Temple.

• Zheng Dali, Song Daren, and Zhang Xiaofan discussed the rumor and recalled Tian Linger’s past hostility toward Lin Jingyu.
• Tian Buyi told Su Ru that Luo Yunji had taken a magic treasure from Tianyin Temple in front of two divine monks.

• Zhang Xiaofan regretted leaving without telling his senior sister, and He Dazhi said he would send word to Big Bamboo Peak.

Xiao Liu and Xiao San asked Wu Dayi and the others to help open the fox clan’s secret realm and bring its survivors to Two Mountains. They found the foxes starving and near death, rescued them, and took them back to Two Mountains for care.

• Xiao Liu explained that Uncle Qiu Shi had sealed the fox clan’s secret realm in Huqi Mountain and asked to bring any surviving young foxes to Two Mountains.
• Wu Dayi and He Dazhi agreed, and Six-Tailed Fox led the group to the secret realm’s barrier with Uncle Qiu Shi’s guidance.
• Six-Tailed Fox opened the barrier, and the group entered the barren secret realm.

• Zhang Xiaofan told his senior brothers that Tianyin Temple held another volume of the Heavenly Book and that Little Junior Brother had further refined the cultivation method.

• As the group traveled west, the scene on the disk grew larger, and Zhou Yixian explained that the Sea of Heavenly Mystery was a sea of liquefied spiritual energy that made ordinary creatures explode and die.

Zhou Yixian used the Qiankun Samsara Disk to guide the group through a natural formation into the Sea of Heavenly Mystery, a barren land filled with energy beyond ordinary spiritual power. Luo Yunji rushed to bring the elders there, leaving the group poised to explore the hidden realm.

• Zhou Yixian detected a natural formation with the Qiankun Samsara Disk and led the group through it into the Sea of Heavenly Mystery.
• He Dazhi discovered that the realm's dense primordial energy could not be absorbed by ordinary means, while Zhou Yixian explained its potential for cultivation.
• Luo Yunji dragged Zhou Yixian away to bring the elders, and Zhang Xiaofan and the others made camp to await them.
• Luo Yunji used Long Zi to fetch Su Ru and the others from Big Bamboo Peak, then mistakenly snatched Xiao Yicai and Daoxuan before Tian Buyi came along willingly.
• Luo Yunji told Tian Buyi and Daoxuan that they had found the Sea of Heavenly Mystery, and Su Ru told him to fetch her senior sister as well.

Luo Yunji brought Daoxuan, Wan Jianyi, and several thousand soldiers to the Sea of Heavenly Mystery, where he taught the soldiers a cultivation method and helped everyone settle in. After Wan Jianyi struggled to cultivate because his meridians were damaged, Luo Yunji claimed he could help him, though he had not clearly explained how.

• Luo Yunji gathered Tian Linger, Wan Jianyi, Lin Jingyu, and others, then took them from Azure Cloud Mountain Range to Two Mountains and the Imperial City, where a Water Ribbon snatched Liao Xing away.
• Long Zi carried the group and several thousand soldiers to the Sea of Heavenly Mystery, where Luo Yunji taught the soldiers an initial cultivation method and arranged a camp.
• Zhou Yixian warned Luo Yunji that the Sea of Heavenly Mystery was expanding and ordered the group to retreat a thousand meters every twelve hours to avoid dangerous spiritual energy.
• After several days of cultivation and repeated retreats, no one broke through, while Wan Jianyi remained at the edge because his damaged meridians left him weaker than the soldiers.
• Luo Yunji insulted Wan Jianyi and claimed he could help him; when Su Ru asked whether he could remove the evil energy in Wan Jianyi's body, he shook his head and then nodded.

Luo Yunji wandered away from camp and found a golden sea, while Zhang Xiaofan and the others realized he was missing and searched for him. Xiaohuan used the Qiankun Samsara Disk to locate him, but its image shocked her, leaving Zhang Xiaofan and Du Bishu to carry the disk to the others.

• Luo Yunji wandered out of camp and, after getting lost, found a golden sea where the Yang Orb began refining itself.
• Su Ru asked Zhang Xiaofan about absorbing evil qi, but he said he was not sure; when Song Daren and Sixth Senior Brother could not find Luo Yunji, they reported him missing.
• Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and Daoxuan went into the Sea of Heavenly Mystery to search, while Du Bishu stopped Zhang Xiaofan from following them.
• Zhang Xiaofan and Du Bishu asked Zhou Yixian for help, and Zhou Yixian had Xiaohuan use the Qiankun Samsara Disk to find Luo Yunji.
• The disk showed an image of Luo Yunji that made Xiaohuan scream and run away, so Zhang Xiaofan and Du Bishu took the disk to find their senior brothers.

Luo Yunji reunited with Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and Daoxuan at the golden sea, then ran off again after hearing Long Zi cry out. He learned that the Black Water Mystic Snake’s child was forming rapidly in the sea’s spiritual energy and heard about the Thunder Marsh Sea, while Long Zi continued enduring the painful process.

• Luo Yunji found the Black Water Mystic Snake and learned that Long Zi’s child was taking shape quickly in the Sea of Heavenly Mystery’s abundant spiritual energy.
• The Black Water Mystic Snake mentioned the Thunder Marsh Sea, and Luo Yunji asked Long Zi why he stayed in the sea despite his pain.

Luo Yunji’s spirit separated from his body in the Golden Sea, and Long Zi sent his body and the Yang Orb flying away after they absorbed the sea’s spiritual energy. Su Ru and Tian Buyi found Luo Yunji’s spirit and body near the shore, but a golden barrier kept them apart.

• Long Zi explained that the Thunder Marsh Sea lay above the Sea of Heavenly Mystery and that its thunder could endanger the fetus in his belly.

• Luo Yunji told Tian Buyi and Su Ru that he was a soul body, then panicked when his fleshly body vanished and ran off to find it.
• Long Zi repeatedly sent Luo Yunji’s fleshly body away, while the Black Water Mystic Snake worried that Luo Yunji might get lost; Long Zi assured it he could sense him.
• Luo Yunji’s soul and fleshly body gradually met on the Golden Sea, where the Yin Orb and Yang Orb formed a Taiji diagram around them.
• Zhang Xiaofan tried to leave camp to search for Luo Yunji, but Tian Buyi stopped him and discovered that Zhang Xiaofan had already reached the Upper Purity Realm.
• Tian Buyi bragged to Daoxuan True Person about Zhang Xiaofan’s breakthrough and was told to get lost, then told Su Ru, who hurried off to see Zhang Xiaofan.
