• Chen Xi and Qian Renxue reached the hall steps, where the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon refused to follow; Chen Xi lost both shoes to its corrosive hide and taunted it before entering with Qian Renxue.
• They found Top Quality Spirit Bones and a gold coin marked Greed, took the coin, and watched the Spirit Bones turn into broken branches as they passed through the stone door.
• Chen Xi and Qian Renxue entered another hall, where a stele named the Lust and Gluttony trials and instructed them to prepare fine dishes for the fated.
• Two tables laden with dishes appeared, and Chen Xi and Qian Renxue sat before them as enticing aromas, music, and a floral fragrance filled the hall.

Chen Xi and Qian Renxue cleared a strange trial involving alluring dancers, then faced the Seven Deadly Sins in a hall where Spirit abilities and Mental Power were disabled.

• Chen Xi decided to keep the Destiny Codex as a last resort and asked Qian Renxue how they could leave the strange space.
• Chen Xi and Qian Renxue retraced their route through the temple, found no sign of the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon, and confirmed their martial souls remained unusable.

• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan traveled through the forest, then noticed a stone move and heard muffled sounds ahead.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan joined Chen Xi and Qian Renxue in fighting the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon, but their attacks barely harmed it. Chen Xi used the Destiny Codex to create a master-servant contract at the cost of thirty days of his lifespan, and scarlet chains began dragging the beast toward him.

• Hu Liena recognized Qian Renxue and led Xie Yue and Yan to help Chen Xi fight the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon.
• The group attacked together, but only Qian Renxue managed to inflict meaningful damage on the beast.
• The Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon broke Qian Renxue's longsword and sent Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan flying.
• Chen Xi opened the Destiny Codex and found a fate contract that would make the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon obey him for thirty days of lifespan.
• Chen Xi activated the contract, and scarlet chains emerged from the Destiny Codex to bind and pull the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon toward him.

Chen Xi captured the Thousand-Legged Demon Dragon with the Destiny Codex, named it Da Zi, and confirmed that it would obey her commands. After the group left the trial area, Qingluan checked on Chen Xi and took him and Qian Renxue back to the Worship Hall, while Bibi Dong learned that Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had gained nothing.

Elsewhere, Ning Xuan arrived at the Blacksmith Association to invite Lou Gao to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
