  • Red Sun Demon Venerable emerges from hiding and theatrically urges the disciples to surrender, concealing his earlier cowardice.
  • Just as the battle seems decided, Five Immortals Mountain activates a powerful defensive formation. Yellow pillars of light erupt from the ground, and multicolored poisonous mist seals the Golden Summit.
  • The Five True Persons of Five Immortals Mountain appear, occupying five positions around the battlefield and trapping Jiang Yuechu, Wang Ziyu, and the others.
  • The True Persons recognize Jiang Yuechu as the person who destroyed their physical bodies and wounded their Primordial Spirits at Chang’an. Their old hatred immediately turns into murderous intent.
  • They also identify Wang Ziyu’s pure Geng Metal aura as belonging to the Five Luminaries Orthodoxy, realizing that he is connected to a powerful Grotto-Heaven.
  • This discovery alarms the Five True Persons. They fear that killing or offending Wang Ziyu could provoke retaliation from the greater Dao orthodoxies and lead to the destruction of Five Immortals Mountain.

  • Jiang Yuechu is established as overwhelmingly powerful, ruthless, and composed under pressure. Even while caught in an unfamiliar formation and surrounded by five True Persons, she confidently accepts the challenge.

Significant Themes

  • Overwhelming power and helplessness: The Five Immortals Mountain disciples are reduced to helpless spectators, emphasizing the vast difference between ordinary cultivators and Jiang Yuechu.
  • Fear beneath arrogance: The True Persons present themselves as dominant regional powers, yet their reaction to Wang Ziyu reveals their insecurity and fear of the superior Grotto-Heavens.
  • Secrecy and the consequences of identity: Wang Ziyu’s concern is not merely survival but preventing knowledge of his presence from spreading. His solution—killing everyone who knows—shows the dangerous burden of concealment.
  • Calculated violence: The battle is not simply a contest of strength. Both sides use formations, positioning, and coordinated attacks, while Wang Ziyu and Jiang Yuechu measure whether they can finish the fight within a limited time.
  • Contrasting personalities: Jiang Yuechu is direct and battle-focused, while Wang Ziyu is cautious, strategic, and concerned with avoiding future complications. Together, their strengths complement one another.

  • Jiang Yuechu privately takes the emperor to the Imperial Study to discuss more serious matters.

2. Character Developments

  • Jiang Yuechu: Returns calm and uninjured, concealing the violence and danger she presumably endured at Five Immortals Mountain. Her hostility has softened after seeing the emperor’s exhaustion, and she deliberately protects him from the truth to spare him further fear. She remains powerful, composed, and pragmatic, while also showing affection toward her brother.
  • The Emperor: His relief at Jiang Yuechu’s return reveals how deeply he depends on and worries about her.

Ch. 414Merging the Fiendish Weapon

Chapter Summary: “Merging the Fiendish Weapon”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Jiang Yuechu finally experiments with using the Flesh-and-Bone Furnace to refine Heart Material into her physical body, an idea she conceived earlier but had been unable to attempt due to constant fighting.
  • She chooses to merge the sinister Crimson Crescent Blade, a fiendish weapon capable of sealing even Burning Lamp Realm opponents’ Lamp-Lighting techniques.
  • The weapon violently resists refinement, but Jiang Yuechu subdues it by striking it repeatedly until it becomes obedient.
  • Using her divine ability, she melts the blade into blood-red mist and absorbs it into her body.
  • The fusion transforms her appearance: dark-red cracks spread across her skin, fiendish light shines through her body, and her Killing Intent becomes visibly overwhelming.
  • Jiang Yuechu discovers that she can suppress the transformation and restore her normal appearance whenever she wishes. The fiendish form is an activated combat state rather than a permanent change.
  • She tests the weapon’s power above Chang’an’s Imperial City, producing multiple enormous crimson blade auras that shred the clouds and fly into the distance.
  • The fusion allows her to use the blade’s inherent abilities directly through her body, including its power to seal Lamp-Lighting methods.
  • Jiang Yuechu concludes that future Heart Material should be divided strategically: treasures with versatile properties should strengthen her Primordial Spirit, while materials unsuitable for it should enhance her physical body.
  • She realizes that her plans depend on no longer needing to constantly protect Great Tang. She identifies a particular Golden Body Method as the likely solution, though the chapter ends before it is explained or acquired.

Character Development

  • Jiang Yuechu demonstrates increasing confidence in her ability to develop unconventional cultivation methods and maximize both her Primordial Spirit and physical body.
  • Her attitude toward danger remains pragmatic and ruthless. She does not care that the fusion makes her look monstrous, reasoning that strength and survival matter more than beauty.
  • She shows strong control over her body and powers, switching between her normal appearance and the fiendish combat form at will.
  • Rather than fearing the enormous energy consumption of the transformation, she becomes more eager to test it, interpreting the cost as evidence of its great power.
  • Her strategic thinking develops as she plans to cultivate her Primordial Spirit and physical body as two complementary combat forces.

Significant Themes

  • Power over appearance: Jiang Yuechu rejects concern over becoming less human-looking, valuing strength and survival above beauty or normality.
  • Control through force: The weapon’s submission reflects her broader philosophy that resistance is overcome through overwhelming power.
  • Dual cultivation and cooperation: She aims to make her Primordial Spirit and physical body independently powerful, potentially allowing them to fight together and create a “righteous group beating.”
  • Cost of power: The fused weapon grants tremendous offensive abilities but consumes her blood and vitality rapidly. Even with Everlasting Evergreen replenishing her, the form can only be safely maintained for about one stick of incense.
  • Preparation and responsibility: Jiang Yuechu’s pursuit of greater strength is connected to her desire to stop being tied down by the defense of Great Tang.

Character Interactions

  • Jiang Yuechu’s main interaction is with the sentient Crimson Crescent Blade. The weapon fiercely resists being refined, but she dominates it physically until it submits.
  • Her interaction with the weapon reflects a harsh, almost coercive relationship: she treats its resistance as disobedience and uses violence to force cooperation.
  • She also indirectly considers the relationship between her Primordial Spirit and physical body, envisioning them as two coordinated combatants rather than a single limited entity.

Ch. 415The problem with the Incense-and-Fire Path

Jiang Yuechu sought out Wang Ziyu to learn how to begin practicing the Incense-and-Fire Path, while he hid the lesson from his master, Wu Shisan.

  • Away from Wu Shisan, Wang Ziyu admitted that his master would forbid him from teaching the Incense-and-Fire Path because of something in his past.
  • Wang Ziyu told Jiang Yuechu that temples and restored divine statues would serve as vessels to gather the people’s thought power.

Ch. 418Battling Demon Emperor Qianyu

Jiang Yuechu unleashed her savage power against Demon Emperor Qianyu, while Wang Ziyu prepared a sword formation and Niu Ben faced the Crimson-Blood Demon Emperor.

  • Demon Emperor Qianyu taunted the girl, who transformed into a savage Demon Dragon and snapped the Flowing-Hong Spear before pulling it from her body.
  • The Demon Dragon poured her Dao Cultivation into her power and summoned a blood-black sun and five elemental dragon phantoms that trapped Demon Emperor Qianyu.
