After investigating the upheaval and hearing that the Mount Lu Estate was recruiting broadly, he decided to approach the mountain and seek an opportunity.

• Fang Shu named the reforged artifact the Immortal-Calming Insect Bone Banner and praised its power.

Meanwhile, Er Daiyuan emerged from seclusion after rejecting a marriage arranged by Hall Master Azure Spider, leaving the Er Family facing her displeasure.

• Er Daiyuan emerged from Er Valley in bridal-red robes and rebuked her descendants for trying to marry her off.

• Er Daiyuan rebuked Sixth Master Er and the Er Family members for pushing her to take a son-in-law, then agreed to end the family’s kinship with the Fang Family and settle their remaining shared interests.
• Er Daiyuan handed the Family Head position to her eldest son and learned that Hall Master Azure Spider had proposed the marriage to secure the Er Family’s place in the market and strengthen ties with the Floating Mountain Lord.

• Er Daiyuan left for Five Viscera Hall and refused the Er Family’s repeated pleas to return, sending them a note that read, “Mortal ties exhausted.”
• Fang Shu waited in a rented courtyard at Mount Lu Market, adjusting his formations while he waited for a future Five Halls offering assembly that could let him return openly to Five Viscera Temple.

After perfecting his Dragon-Qi Gu Formation, Fang Shu registered for the Five Viscera Hall’s Attendant Assembly under the name Yuan Heng and entered its mountain gate. There he discovered that the hall was using medicine made from the Old Mountain Lord, and he was led with the other foundation establishment cultivators to a pill-refining valley.

Fang Shu joined the Five Viscera Hall’s Offering Assembly trial, which required retrieving coffins from a forbidden underground river filled with Yin Baleful Force. When he approached a coffin, the coffins formed a staircase and drew him into a hidden realm, while the underground river erupted and engulfed many of the other immortals.

• Hall Master Azure Spider led the Earth Immortals into the underground river and explained that retrieving its coffins was the trial for becoming an offering official.
• Azure Spider warned that the river’s ancient Yin Baleful Force could refine even False Core immortals, but several participants entered to retrieve coffins.
• An Earth Immortal retrieved and broke open a coffin, releasing turbid vapor that injured him until he swallowed Azure Spider’s medicine.
• Fang Shu approached a coffin, triggering the Yin Baleful Force and causing nearby coffins to form a staircase; Azure Spider accused him of seeking the Five Viscera Hall’s inheritance and attacked.
• The vapor dragged Fang Shu up the coffin staircase and made him vanish, while Azure Spider’s silver needles dissolved before reaching him.
• Other immortals who climbed the staircase were dissolved by the Yin Baleful Force, then the underground river erupted and swallowed many more as Azure Spider fled.

Fang Shu discovered Mount Lu’s underground inheritance and received five Elixir Codes containing golden-core cultivation methods. Rather than choose one, he refined all five into a single radiant object resembling a golden core.

• Azure Spider summoned the Five Viscera Hall’s Earth Immortals and claimed an upheaval in the earth veins needed to be suppressed, while Er Daiyuan and others doubted her explanation.
• Fang Shu explored a cavern of ancestral coffins and found an enormous thatched hut at the center of the inheritance site.

• Fang Shu used his Dao Register to understand the methods and recognized them as the golden-core formation arts of Mount Lu’s five sects.
• Instead of choosing one Elixir Code, Fang Shu used his magical power to refine all five into one radiant, rounded object resembling a golden core.

Fang Shu learned that Mount Lu’s Elixir Code could grant him the lineage’s accumulated fortune if he swore to restore the orthodox lineage, but he refused to take on that obligation. Suspecting the lineage’s precepts had shaped his predecessors’ sacrifices, he turned his attention to the five bronze coffins to investigate their contents.

• Fang Shu examined the radiant Elixir Code and learned it could directly imprint its five thousand Mystic Script characters into his mind.
• Fang Shu studied the code’s teachings about the Great Dao, calamities, and the precepts that protected Mount Lu’s cultivators and bound them to its lineage.
• Fang Shu realized that a grand vow to restore Mount Lu could give him the lineage’s accumulated fortune and help him attain Golden Core, but he declined to make it.
• Fang Shu reconsidered whether the Mount Lu leaders’ sacrifices and restraint had been shaped by the lineage’s precepts, then concluded that he need not inherit their burdens.
• Fang Shu kicked open the gap in one bronze coffin and peered inside as black qi surged out.

Fang Shu investigated Mount Lu’s five bronze coffins and discovered that a curse had corrupted the Elixir Code, hiding the true meaning of its inheritance. By deciphering the original Mystic Script himself, he obtained the Great Method of Yin and Yang, Death and Life, Corpse Liberation and Linked Form, a method leading to the realm of a Refining-Spirit Divine Immortal.

• Fang Shu used the Elixir Code and his Dao vein to see through Mount Lu’s fortune and realized the five coffins held separate parts of a single predecessor.
• Fang Shu controlled the turbid qi and found that the coffins contained idol-like organs, skin, bones, limbs, and a head.

Fang Shu comprehended the Mount Lu Elixir Code beneath the mountain, triggering a surge of spiritual energy and fortune that stirred all of Mount Lu. With He Shoufeng guarding and the mountain’s cultivators praying for him, Fang Shu found himself poised to form a core despite lacking an elixir seed.

• Fang Shu focused on the Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Pill and gained a sweeping perception of Mount Lu and its eight hundred Foundation Establishment Earth Immortals.
• Fang Shu’s contemplation stirred the turbid qi beneath the Five Viscera Temple, which vanished and was replaced by high-grade spiritual energy and five-colored auspicious clouds.
• He Shoufeng divined that Mount Lu’s fortune had changed, announced that a fellow Daoist was forming a core, and ordered the mountain’s cultivators to pray and chant for him.
• Hall Master Azure Spider and Er Daiyuan suspected that Fang Shu, who had entered the underground river, was the one forming a core.
• Fang Shu received Mount Lu’s fortune and fully comprehended its Elixir Code, leaving him with only an elixir seed still missing.
• Fang Shu decided to seize the rare opportunity and consider forming his core without an elixir seed.

• Fang Shu returned to his body surrounded by five-colored clouds, with Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Elixir Qi appearing around him.

After forming his golden core, Fang Shu discovered that his body and soul could merge into and disperse as Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Elixir Qi, possibly granting him a unique divine ability. He Shoufeng, master of the Mount Lu Estate, invited him to become its mountain master and offered him a path to join the Profound Teaching, leaving Fang Shu to weigh the unexpected proposal.

• Fang Shu reflected on the net of heaven and earth and suspected that the beings he sensed during golden core formation were other cultivators on the Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Path.
• Fang Shu tested his new golden-core state, dispersing his body into elixir qi and gathering it back together, and realized his soul, flesh, and blood could transform and move freely.
• Fang Shu suspected that his ability to gather and disperse his body was a divine ability, though he sensed it might have further uses.
• He Shoufeng arrived, congratulated Fang Shu on becoming a Ten-Tribulation Immortal, and introduced himself as master of the Mount Lu Estate.

Fang Shu accepted, and the chapter ended with Azure Spider and Er Daiyuan reflecting on his return and their complicated histories with him.

• Fang Shu reunited with Fang Lu, who had emerged from seclusion to welcome her junior brother home.

• Er Family clansmen arrived at Fang Valley, where Er Daiyuan invited them in and Yu Le welcomed them among the Fang Family.

Fang Shu discovered that He Shoufeng’s medicinal herbs had destabilized Mount Lu’s immortals, warned Fang Lu, and secretly investigated Five Viscera Hall. His investigation uncovered clues about Old Mountain Lord’s past and whereabouts, leaving Fang Shu furious at the traitors he found.

Fang Shu forced Azure Spider to reveal how Old Mountain Lord had been imprisoned and harvested for medicine, then uncovered his location through soul searching. After secretly mapping a route to Mount Lu’s summit, Fang Shu slipped through He Shoufeng’s formation as illusory gu insects and reached a medicinal garden.

• Fang Shu summoned Azure Spider, overwhelmed her with pressure, and questioned her about Old Mountain Lord’s capture and the herbs harvested from him.

Fang Shu agreed to help preside over the mountain’s fortune, while privately hoping to reach the imprisoned Profound Teaching Divine Immortal inside the realm.
