Hui Chi and Hui Wu attacked Mu Yunxin, but Fairy Lan Chen arrived before they could kill her and discovered Song Wen at the bottom of the Lake. Recognizing him as Yinshuo, the Asura Sect leader, Lan Chen killed the two monks and asked to speak with him alone.

Song Wen learned that Lan Chen and other powerful cultivators sought Man-Snakes because they believed Profound Qi might be needed to use a Spirit Transformation method from the Divine Blood Hall. He arranged for Zhou Siyi to advise the Blissful Union Sect on Man-Snake breeding in exchange for cultivation resources and leads, then agreed to visit its farm.

Song Wen expanded Azure Gauze Mountain’s spirit fields and continued testing Blood Demon Pills, but his latest pills turned the venomous flood dragon rigid with deathly energy instead of depleting its blood qi.

• Yu Wen informed Song Wen that Primordial Unity Temple had ordered him to help establish a Spirit Sacrifice Formation near Boundary Mountain Market, and Song Wen learned that Huineng and the formation team were already on Azure Heaven Mountain.

Song Wen agreed to let Primordial Unity Temple build a Spirit Sacrifice Formation in Boundary Mountain Market and secretly informed the Nine Palaces Sect. Xiao Chan told Si Ming that Ancestor Si Shan would soon return from nirvana, while the completed formation and the sects’ distraction by a secret realm left Song Wen watching for Primordial Unity Temple’s next move.

• Yu Wen told Song Wen that the formation was complete and the Nine Palaces Sect had not openly responded.
• Song Wen learned that the four major demonic sects were occupied by the secret realm opening in the Poison Miasma Swamp and ordered Yu Wen to watch Boundary Mountain Market closely.

• Jie Chen ordered Si Ming to bring every member of the Si Clan to Boundary Mountain Market, and Si Ming complied despite his misgivings.
• After two days, the Si Clan arrived to find Xiao Chan and ten Golden Core cultivators waiting at the market.
• The monks activated a formation that enveloped Boundary Mountain Market, while the market’s rogue cultivators and Nine Palaces Sect disciples withdrew.
• Xiao Chan told Si Ming that the Si Clan had to offer themselves as sacrifices so Fa Yan could attain nirvana and be reborn.
• Si Ming accused Primordial Unity Temple of cruelly plotting to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents, and Xiao Chan said their souls would be destroyed rather than reborn.

Xiao Chan and Primordial Unity Temple sacrificed the Si Clan to revive Chan Master Fa Yan beneath Boundary Mountain Market. Tai He and Hao Kong of the Nine Palaces Sect arrived to stop the ritual, but the formation continued as the two sides clashed.

• Xiao Chan subdued Si Ming and ordered Primordial Unity Temple cultivators to throw the Si Clan into the Spirit Sacrifice Formation, where their blood and souls were sent underground.
• A mummified corpse in a hidden Buddha hall absorbed the sacrificial blood and souls, began to regain life, and opened its eyes.
• Tai He and Hao Kong arrived, and Tai He attacked the formation’s operators with his Plaguefall Banner while Xiao Chan blocked the poisonous mist with his kasaya.
• Tai He sent Hao Kong to attack the ten Golden Core cultivators maintaining the formation and fought Xiao Chan with a poisonous dragon.

Hao Kong burned Boundary Mountain Market, destroying the Spirit Sacrifice Formation, but Zen Master Fa Yan emerged from underground before the ritual could be completed. Fa Yan attacked Hao Kong, while Tai He escaped with him using a Minor Teleportation Talisman, and Xiao Chan revealed that Primordial Unity Temple had prepared a trap for them.

• Hao Kong released a fire phoenix that burned Boundary Mountain Market and destroyed the Spirit Sacrifice Formation.
• Zen Master Fa Yan burst from underground with only Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation and attacked Hao Kong with the Horned Dragon Staff.
• Tai He saved the wounded Hao Kong from Fa Yan’s strike and used a Minor Teleportation Talisman to escape with him.
• Xiao Chan remained confident that Primordial Unity Temple’s preparations would prevent Tai He and Hao Kong from escaping safely.

Song Wen tried to help Tai He and Hao Kong escape without revealing himself, so he poisoned Hui Zhen and caused the Wisdom King Demon-Locking Formation to collapse. The barrier broke and left Xiao Chan and Fa Yan facing the two Nine Palaces Sect cultivators in the open.

• Tai He and Hao Kong were trapped by Primordial Unity Temple’s Wisdom King Demon-Locking Formation as Xiao Chan and Fa Yan attacked them.
• Song Wen decided to intervene despite fearing that Mi Hai might be watching nearby.
• Song Wen sent a Shadow Gu to distract Hui Zhen, then struck him with a pill that released corrosive black poison.
• Hui Zhen abandoned his array plate while escaping the poison, and the formation barrier shattered under the battle’s residual force.
• The other nine Golden Core monks collapsed from the formation’s destruction, while Hui Zhen searched in vain for the attacker.

Song Wen revealed that his Gu insects had helped Tai He and Hao Kong escape the Wisdom King Demon-Locking Formation, then demanded and received three Minor Teleportation Talismans as repayment. Tai He began to explain the real reason for his visit to Azure Heaven Mountain.

• Tai He and Hao Kong escaped after the Wisdom King Demon-Locking Formation broke, while Xiao Chan realized an unknown Gu user had disrupted his plan.

• Song Wen pressed Tai He for a life-saving reward and received three Minor Teleportation Talismans.
• Tai He said he had come to discuss another matter, and Song Wen grew more vigilant.

Song Wen tried to discover where Primordial Unity Temple was holding the Si Clan so Nine Palaces Sect could prevent Fa Yan from completing another sacrificial ritual, but his investigation found nothing. Xiao Chan then invited the Asura Sect to help Primordial Unity Temple seize Boundary Mountain, and Song Wen suspected the invitation was meant to manipulate him into warning Nine Palaces Sect.

• Tai He asked Song Wen to locate the imprisoned Si Clan members, and Song Wen reluctantly agreed to try.
• Song Wen told Yu Wen to send valuable congratulatory gifts to Primordial Unity Temple and secretly investigate the Si Clan's whereabouts, then increased his spiritual sense by refining collected souls.
• A month later, Yu Wen reported that the investigation had failed, and Xiao Chan questioned Song Wen about the formation that had freed Tai He and Hao Kong.
• Xiao Chan invited Song Wen and the Asura Sect to join Primordial Unity Temple's planned attack on Boundary Mountain, promising to divide the territory between their sects.
• Song Wen refused to join the attack and suspected Xiao Chan wanted him to pass the warning to Nine Palaces Sect, so he decided to pretend he knew nothing.

Song Wen learned that Primordial Unity Temple had ambushed the Nine Palaces Sect’s return party and began preparing for the threat while keeping himself away from Azure Heaven Mountain. He urged Zhou Siyi to leave Forgotten World Ridge for safety, and she chose to seek refuge at Ultimate Bliss City.

• Song Wen received news that Xi Ling and Tai He had been severely injured in an ambush at Blue Ink Lake, while Yan Yiwen escaped Xiao Chan’s pursuit.
• Song Wen realized Xiao Chan had used the Boundary Mountain plan to distract the Nine Palaces Sect and facilitate the ambush.

• Song Wen told Zhou Siyi about the conflict and urged her to leave Forgotten World Ridge, explaining that Quan Qiu and the others could tend the spirit fields.
• Zhou Siyi chose to go to Ultimate Bliss City, and Song Wen offered to escort her out of Forgotten World Ridge.

Song Wen parted from Zhou Siyi and pursued Primordial Unity Temple’s ship to Boundary Mountain, where Xiao Chan led an assault on the Nine Palaces Sect’s defenses. Hao Kong reinforced the mountain’s formation, but Fa Yan arrived at Nascent Soul Late Stage, leaving Hao Kong to summon Tong Hua for help.

• Song Wen gave Zhou Siyi a Minor Teleportation Talisman, then chased Primordial Unity Temple’s flying ship toward Boundary Mountain.
• Xiao Chan demanded that Ye Gang surrender Boundary Mountain, but Ye Gang refused and mocked him over the Si Clan’s sacrifice.
• Xiao Chan ordered a hundred monks to form the Wisdom King Descent Formation and attack the mountain-protecting formation.
• The formation endured two strikes, but Hao Kong appeared and strengthened it, blocking the third palm.
• Xiao Chan summoned Fa Yan, whose cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Late Stage, and Hao Kong called Tong Hua to help defend Boundary Mountain.

Fa Yan and Xiao Chan left Boundary Mountain to attack Xi Mountain, while Song Wen followed their route after suspecting their departure was a ruse. At Xi Mountain, they found the Four-Directional Undying Formation and began purifying its corpse baleful qi, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Fa Yan ordered the Primordial Unity Temple monks to prepare the Wrathful Buddha Demon-Slaying Formation, then he and Xiao Chan left Boundary Mountain to attack Xi Mountain.
• Hao Kong judged that Fa Yan and Xiao Chan were trying to lure them out, so he and Tong Hua stayed behind Boundary Mountain's protective formation.
• Song Wen sent a Shadow Gu after Fa Yan and Xiao Chan, found no trace of them, and flew toward Xi Mountain.
• Fa Yan and Xiao Chan discovered that Ku Yan and four corpse puppets protected Xi Mountain with the Four-Directional Undying Formation.
• Fa Yan and Xiao Chan used Buddha's Radiance Illuminates All to purify the formation's corpse baleful qi.

Song Wen saw Xiao Chan and Fa Yan hold off Ku Yan while pretending to retreat, then secretly went to Boundary Mountain. There, Lei Xing attacked Primordial Unity Temple’s monks and urged the Nine Palaces Sect to fight, leaving Hao Kong and Tong Hua debating whether the attack was a trap before Hao Kong chose to lead them outside the formation.

• Ku Yan threatened Xiao Chan and Fa Yan with the arrival of Patriarch Gou Jun, but they continued fighting as Song Wen realized they were using an Empty Fort Strategy.
• Song Wen slipped away toward Boundary Mountain to prevent Primordial Unity Temple from taking control of Boundary Mountain and Xi Mountain.
• Lei Xing ambushed Primordial Unity Temple’s monks at Boundary Mountain, killing several before ten Golden Core cultivators confronted him.
• Lei Xing used his lightning arts, including Jade Pivot Heavenly Thunder, to repel the monks’ magic treasures and revealed that Primordial Unity Temple’s sacrifices had killed his wife and the Si Clan.
• Lei Xing called on the Nine Palaces Sect to fight, while Hao Kong suspected a trap and Tong Hua questioned whether Lei Xing was truly aligned with Primordial Unity Temple.
• Hao Kong decided to risk leaving the formation and attack the monks before they could complete their formation.

Hao Kong and Tong Hua wiped out Primordial Unity Temple’s force at Boundary Mountain, while the mysterious ‘Lei Xing’ collected the fallen monks’ bodies and souls. Xiao Chan learned of the massacre from the lone survivor Jie Xin and realized Hao Kong and Tong Hua had deliberately left him alive to warn Primordial Unity Temple about Lei Xing.

• Hao Kong and Tong Hua killed the ten Golden Core monks of Primordial Unity Temple after slaughtering nearly all of its Foundation Establishment monks.
• Hao Kong and Tong Hua gave ‘Lei Xing’ the ten Golden Core corpses and souls, and Hao Kong explained that he wanted to use the stranger to divert Primordial Unity Temple’s attention.
• Xiao Chan returned to Boundary Mountain, saw the devastation, and learned from Hao Kong that his and Fa Yan’s plan had been exposed.
• Xiao Chan found Jie Xin hiding in a ravine, and Jie Xin recounted how ‘Lei Xing’ had fought the Primordial Unity Temple monks.
• Xiao Chan realized Hao Kong and Tong Hua had spared Jie Xin so he would report ‘Lei Xing’ and make Primordial Unity Temple wary of the unseen enemy.

Xiao Chan and Fa Yan fled from Patriarch Gou Jun, who had pursued them from Boundary Mountain, and agreed to use Fleeting Splendor to escape. As Fa Yan held Gou Jun back with a Mystic Heaven Defensive Talisman, Xiao Chan began activating the lotus treasure, but its barrier had not yet reached its full range.

• Xiao Chan abandoned Jie Xin as Gou Jun's corpse qi closed in, and the qi consumed Jie Xin, body and soul.
• Fa Yan caught up with Xiao Chan and warned that they could not outrun Gou Jun, so the two discussed using Fleeting Splendor to trap him briefly.
• Fa Yan revealed that activating Fleeting Splendor would take ten breaths and asked Xiao Chan to hold Gou Jun off, but Xiao Chan proposed that Fa Yan take the greater risk instead.
• As Gou Jun attacked with a baleful python, Fa Yan activated the Mystic Heaven Defensive Talisman and threw Fleeting Splendor to Xiao Chan.
• Fa Yan fortified the talisman with Buddhist power while Gou Jun's repeated attacks drove it toward collapse, and Xiao Chan poured his spiritual power into Fleeting Splendor as its lotus phantoms spread across a hundred li.

Fa Yan trapped Gou Jun with the Yin-Born Lotus, a blood-red treasure that drained Xiao Chan’s life force and pursued him even after he severed his hand. Xiao Chan revealed a Minor Teleportation Talisman, forcing Fa Yan to flee before the lotus could make him its next host.

• Fa Yan’s Mystic Heaven Defensive Talisman shattered, and Sha pythons struck him down as he retreated from Gou Jun.
• Xiao Chan discovered that Fleeting Splendor had become the parasitic Yin-Born Lotus, which pierced his palm and began consuming his spiritual power, blood, and lifespan.
• Fa Yan revealed that the lotus could trap Gou Jun for a hundred breaths and explained that it needed a living host to activate.
• Gou Jun sent a late fourth-rank Golden Corpse toward Xiao Chan, who severed and threw away his parasitized hand, but the Yin-Born Lotus returned to pursue him.
• Xiao Chan produced a Minor Teleportation Talisman, and Fa Yan realized he might become the lotus’s next host and fled.

Fa Yan escaped Gou Jun’s pursuit using the Two-Faced Buddha, while Xiao Chan had already fled. Song Wen headed to Azure Heaven Mountain and set a trap in Witch's Resentment Market, hoping to locate and exploit the wounded cultivators.

• Fa Yan used the Two-Faced Buddha to hide his aura and escape as the Yin-Born Lotus shattered under Gou Jun’s assault.
• Gou Jun pursued Fa Yan’s lingering aura, but it vanished; after searching the nearby mountains, he left without finding him.
• Song Wen decided Fa Yan and Xiao Chan might seek healing supplies at Witch's Resentment Market and traveled to Azure Heaven Mountain.
• Song Wen ordered Yu Wen to lift the mountain-sealing ban and have Asura Sect disciples watch for Fa Yan and Xiao Chan without spreading news of their injuries.
• Song Wen ordered a rumor spread that a Blood Bodhi had appeared in Witch's Resentment Market and requested the sect’s Black Baleful Dark Prison Formation.

A rumor about a Blood Bodhi lured Fa Yan into Treasure Spirit Pavilion, where Song Wen trapped him in a killing formation. Fa Yan fought off the formation’s attacks while blaming those whose actions had left him injured and short of healing medicine.

• Rumors that Jiang Zhi had murdered a Blood Bodhi seller spread through Witch's Resentment Market, and Jiang Zhi closed Treasure Spirit Pavilion while seeking protection.
• Fa Yan broke into Jiang Zhi’s secret chamber and used soul force to learn that Jiang Zhi did not possess the Blood Bodhi and that the rumor was a trap.
• Fa Yan tried to escape Treasure Spirit Pavilion but was blocked by Song Wen’s Black Baleful Dark Prison Formation.
• Song Wen set up the Netherconcealing Void-Spirit Formation around the killing formation to hide the fight and guard against interference.
• Fa Yan struck the barrier with the Horned Dragon Staff but failed to break it, and Song Wen activated the formation’s waves of corpse baleful qi.
• Fa Yan defended himself with the Horned Dragon Staff and blamed Gou Jun, Tai He, Hao Kong, Xiao Chan, and Mi Hai for his weakened state and lack of healing medicine.

Fa Yan used the Two-Faced Buddha to break Song Wen’s formation and flee, but Song Wen pursued him relentlessly. When Song Wen attacked with lightning that could overcome the Buddha’s white light, Fa Yan recognized the Purple Palace Divine Thunder and sent his Horned Dragon Staff to meet it.

• Fa Yan spent his essence blood to activate the Two-Faced Buddha, which dispelled the corpse baleful aura and shattered the Black Baleful Dark Prison Formation.
• Fa Yan feinted at Song Wen with the Horned Dragon Staff and escaped, but Song Wen pursued him using the Blood Escape Technique to keep catching up.
• Fa Yan could not shake Song Wen and asked why he was being hunted, while Song Wen wondered whether lightning could counter the Two-Faced Buddha.
• Song Wen launched a lightning-charged short spear, but Fa Yan blocked it with the Horned Dragon Staff.
• Song Wen summoned the Purple Palace Divine Thunder, and Fa Yan sent the Horned Dragon Staff skyward to meet it.

Song Wen killed Fa Yan, took his treasures, and discovered how to control the Two-Faced Buddha by sacrificing his essence blood. While he cultivated in his cave, Fa Yan’s death stirred the cultivation world, and Yan Yiwen arrived at Azure Heaven Mountain.

• Fa Yan used his prayer beads to destroy Song Wen’s apparent body, but Song Wen’s zombie ambushed him, destroyed his body and Nascent Soul, and let Song Wen devour his soul and remaining essence blood.
• Song Wen took Fa Yan’s storage ring, Two-Faced Buddha, Horned Dragon Staff, and other belongings, then returned to Azure Gauze Mountain after making sure no one had seen his Undying True Corpse Transformation.
• Song Wen discovered that he could control the Two-Faced Buddha by feeding it roughly twenty percent of his essence blood, though their connection weakened over time.
• Song Wen began absorbing the soul fragments he had gathered, while news of Fa Yan’s death spread through the cultivation world and Yu Wen asked Song Wen about it.
• The Primordial Unity Temple did not come to Azure Heaven Mountain to investigate; instead, Yan Yiwen arrived.

Song Wen negotiated with Blood Brow over the Bronze Key Coffin and a body-tempering technique, ultimately agreeing to trade Superior Spirit Stones for the Myriad Poisons Primordial Body method. Blood Brow left after they settled terms that also secured a Soul Oath for future dual cultivation, while their planned exploration of the Divine Blood Hall remained ahead.

• Song Wen met Blood Brow at Azure Heaven Mountain and confirmed she had obtained the Bronze Key Coffin.
• Blood Brow asked for five hundred Superior Spirit Stones in exchange for dual-cultivating with Song Wen when he reached a Nascent Soul breakthrough bottleneck, but he refused.
• Blood Brow offered the Myriad Poisons Primordial Body technique, whose Jade Slip contained the later stages but concealed crucial information.
• Song Wen agreed to pay three hundred Superior Spirit Stones if Blood Brow swore a Soul Oath to dual-cultivate with him when needed.
• Blood Brow declined to provide a map of the Divine Blood Hall, and Song Wen accepted her terms before she left.
