After five years in seclusion, Su Yueli reached the Sixth Realm and ventured into the ruins’ inner region to seek resources for further cultivation. She found and bound a Storage Pouch, but a savage beast’s roar sounded from deeper within the ancient palace.

• Su Yueli completed the fourth form of her master’s fist technique and advanced to the Sixth Realm after five years of cultivation.
• Fearing the Pang Family’s retaliation, Su Yueli decided to remain in the ruins until she became strong enough to defeat them.
• Su Yueli entered the ruins’ inner region and explored the remains of the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom’s royal palace.
• Su Yueli found a Storage Pouch, bound it with her blood, and began collecting valuables and intact weapons.
• A savage beast roared from deep within the palace, shaking the ruined hall.

Su Yueli fought and killed a Late First Realm Blood-Eyed Wolf, then drank its raw blood in hopes of strengthening herself. The blood’s energy erupted through her body, leaving her Qi and Blood surging out of control.

• Su Yueli faced the Blood-Eyed Wolf in the ruined hall and narrowly dodged its attack before striking its armored body with her Shadow Fist Blades.
• The wolf knocked Su Yueli into a wall and injured her, but she used her fully mastered Fourth Form, River Severing, to pierce its mouth and kill it.
• After assessing her injuries and thinking of the beast blood used by powerful families, Su Yueli decided to drink the wolf’s untreated blood.
• Su Yueli swallowed several mouthfuls and waited, but after several dozen breaths, boiling energy burst from her stomach and sent her Qi and Blood surging out of control.

Su Yueli endured the pain of absorbing a Blood-Eyed Wolf’s blood, then spent three years hunting demonic beasts until she advanced to the Seventh Realm. In the ruins’ core, she found the Azure Cloud Kingdom’s royal mausoleum and seized a jade stone containing its national fortune, attempting to activate it.

• Su Yueli endured the Blood-Eyed Wolf’s essence blood for more than two hours, strengthening her Qi and Blood and solidifying her Sixth Realm foundation.
• Su Yueli gathered the wolf’s blood, cooked its meat, and trained through the night while wondering how Tie Tu, Ling'er, and Lin Ye were doing.

• Su Yueli discovered the Azure Cloud Kingdom’s royal mausoleum and found a silk page describing a National Fortune Jade that held eighty percent of the fallen kingdom’s remaining national fortune.
• Su Yueli took the jade stone and poured her Qi and Blood into it to activate its power.

Su Yueli entered the National Fortune Jade’s inner world, where a tiny spirit beast gave up its body to become the weapon spirit of her Shadow Fist Blade. After naming the upgraded Heaven Tier weapon Little Black, she returned to the Imperial Mausoleum and went into its black mist to seek stronger demonic beasts.

• Su Yueli met a palm-sized spirit beast with an ancient bloodthirsty bloodline inside the jade and refused to take it outside, fearing she could not protect it.
• The spirit beast transformed into black light and entered Su Yueli’s Shadow Fist Blade, raising it from Upper-Grade Earth Tier to Lower-Grade Heaven Tier and granting it the ability to grow stronger through killing.
• Su Yueli returned to the Imperial Mausoleum as the National Fortune Jade crumbled to dust, and she learned the creature’s grand title before naming it Little Black.
• Su Yueli judged that her Seventh Realm strength and Little Black were not enough to defeat the Pang Family, then plunged into the mausoleum’s black mist to hunt stronger demonic beasts.

Su Yueli fought and killed an Early Second Realm Armored Crocodile Tiger, then spent decades cultivating with Little Black in the Imperial Mausoleum. After reaching the Martial God Realm and exhausting the mausoleum’s demon beasts, she left the forbidden land to face the Pang Family.

• Su Yueli and Little Black killed the Armored Crocodile Tiger, with Little Black devouring part of the beast’s demon blood before reluctantly leaving the rest for her.

• After exterminating all the Second Realm demon beasts in the ruins, Su Yueli left the forbidden land, resolving to confront the Pang Family.

After emerging from thirty-five years of seclusion, Su Yueli waited at the Azure Cloud Ruins entrance to settle her grudge with the Pang Family. Pang Jinbiao arrived with three Seventh Realm elders, discovered that she had not aged, and suspected the ruins held a secret to immortality.

• Su Yueli left the Azure Cloud Ruins and chose to wait there rather than risk leading Pang Family informants to Tie Tu and Ling'er.
• A shadow guard reported Su Yueli's return to Pang Jinbiao, who learned that she still looked twenty and ordered three elders to accompany him.
• Su Yueli practiced her fist art at the ruins entrance through a day and night as she waited for her enemies.
• Pang Jinbiao and the three Seventh Realm elders confronted Su Yueli, and Pang Jinbiao confirmed she had no signs of being a cultivator.
• Pang Jinbiao concluded that the ruins might contain an opportunity to halt aging and resolved to capture Su Yueli to learn its secret.

Su Yueli killed Pang Jinbiao and four Seventh Realm experts, revealing herself as a Tenth Realm Martial God, then set out for Azure Province City. A black-robed immortal cultivator reported her strength and Pang Jinbiao’s death to Fourth Prince Zhao Yan.

• Pang Jinbiao offered to drop the Pang Family’s grudges in exchange for Su Yueli’s secret, but she mocked him and refused.
• Su Yueli killed four Seventh Realm experts with one punch, then shattered Pang Jinbiao’s Heaven-Tier saber and killed him as he tried to flee.
• Little Black devoured the Qi and Blood of Pang Jinbiao and the four elders, strengthening its Heaven-Tier Mid-Grade foundation.
• Su Yueli left the ruins and headed for Azure Province City, while a hidden black-robed guard witnessed the battle and flew to the Great Li Imperial City.
• The black-robed guard told Fourth Prince Zhao Yan that Su Yueli had survived the Azure Cloud Ruins and killed Ninth Realm Pang Jinbiao.

Su Yueli returned to Azure Province City after thirty-five years and found that the Iron Clan Martial Hall had become a distillery. She reunited with the aged Tie Ling'er, while Zhao Yan ordered his shadow guards to watch Su Yueli from afar.

• Zhao Yan learned that Su Yueli had survived, remained unchanged in appearance, and destroyed the Pang Family, so he ordered his shadow guards to monitor her without confronting her.
• Su Yueli traveled back to Azure Province City and found that the roads and towns along her old route had changed greatly.
• Su Yueli discovered that the Iron Clan Martial Hall had become Iron's Distillery and learned that Tie Tu had died four years earlier.
• Su Yueli entered the inner courtyard and saw the aged Tie Ling'er, who recognized her and tearfully called her Sister Yueli.

Su Yueli reunited with Tie Ling'er after thirty-five years, learning how her disappearance had affected Tie Ling'er and her father, Tie Tu. After visiting Tie Tu's grave, Su Yueli admitted she would soon leave again to protect Tie Ling'er from the dangers pursuing her, and the two prepared to spend one last night together.

• Tie Ling'er wept in Su Yueli's arms and told her that Tie Tu had died four years earlier after spending years worrying about her and searching for her.
• Su Yueli explained how she had been forced into the Azure Cloud Ruins and endured thirty-five years there before becoming a Tenth Realm Martial God.
• Su Yueli and Tie Ling'er visited Tie Tu's grave, where Su Yueli poured out liquor and told him she could now protect herself.
• On the way back, Tie Ling'er said she had chosen to remain unmarried, while Su Yueli rejected the idea of starting a family.
• Tie Ling'er showed Su Yueli the room she had kept clean for her, and Su Yueli admitted she would soon leave to keep danger away from Azure Province City.
• Tie Ling'er asked to sleep beside Su Yueli as they had thirty-five years earlier, and Su Yueli agreed.

After parting from Tie Ling'er, Su Yueli traveled toward the Azure Moon Sect to investigate Lu Chen’s death and seek a path beyond the Tenth Realm. In Sunset Glow City, she learned of a wounded Fourth-Realm Monster Beast in Black Wind Valley and raced there to claim its blood or materials.

• Su Yueli said farewell to Tie Ling'er and left Azure Province City, determined to grow stronger and investigate whether Shen Huai'an had caused Lu Chen’s death.
• After three days of travel, Su Yueli stopped at an inn in Sunset Glow City and overheard two Azure Moon Sect cultivators discussing a bounty for a wounded Fourth-Realm Monster Beast in Black Wind Valley.
• The cultivators dismissed Su Yueli as a mortal martial artist, and she silently scorned their arrogance.
• Su Yueli saw the monster’s essence blood and materials as a chance to break through the Tenth Realm and followed the cultivators toward Black Wind Valley.

Su Yueli entered Black Wind Valley and killed a Mid-Second Realm Black-Armored Demon Spider, then met Qi Feng, an Azure Moon Sect inner sect disciple. After learning she was a Tenth Realm Martial God, Qi Feng invited her to travel with him, and she accepted, hoping to ask him about Shen Huai'an.

• Su Yueli waited until the gathered sect disciples and Rogue Cultivators entered Black Wind Valley, then followed them inside.
• Su Yueli killed a Mid-Second Realm Black-Armored Demon Spider with her fist blades and Mountain Splitter, then stored its corpse in her Storage Pouch.
• Qi Feng, an Azure Moon Sect inner sect disciple, approached Su Yueli and realized she had no spiritual power.
• Su Yueli confirmed she was a Tenth Realm Martial God, astonishing Qi Feng.
• Qi Feng invited Su Yueli to travel with him through the valley and share any gains according to their contributions, and she accepted so she could ask about Shen Huai'an.

Su Yueli questioned Qi Feng about Shen Huai'an and learned that the Azure Moon Sect prodigy had advanced to the Fourth Realm Late Stage after severing a mortal attachment. She suspected Lu Chen had been used in Shen Huai'an’s cultivation, then joined Qi Feng and the other disciples in tracking a wounded Fourth Realm demonic beast.

• Su Yueli asked Qi Feng about Shen Huai'an, and Qi Feng described his Supreme Heavenly Bone and rapid cultivation progress.
• Qi Feng said Shen Huai'an had resolved a secret mortal-world attachment and returned to the sect with an unobstructed Dao Heart.
• Su Yueli suspected Shen Huai'an had used her benefactor and master, Lu Chen, as a stepping stone to sever his worldly ties.
• Su Yueli and Qi Feng met the remaining Azure Moon Sect disciples, who were shocked to learn she was a Tenth Realm Martial God and apologized for their earlier disrespect.
• A Third Realm disciple told Su Yueli and Qi Feng that the wounded Fourth Realm demonic beast was inside a nearby underground cave.

Su Yueli joined Qi Feng and two Azure Moon Sect disciples to hunt a wounded Earthsplitter Bear, only to discover it was at the Fourth Realm Late Stage. With Qi Feng preparing a treasure that needed ten breaths to activate, Su Yueli burned thirty years of her lifespan to gain enough power to face the beast.

• Qi Feng recruited Su Yueli to help kill the Earthsplitter Bear while two disciples guarded the cave entrance.
• Qi Feng and the others found the bear in a stone hall and realized it was a Fourth Realm Late Stage monster when it attacked.
• Su Yueli rescued the two Third Realm disciples from the bear’s claws as Qi Feng and the others struggled to fight it.
• Qi Feng revealed a destructive talisman that could kill the bear but needed ten breaths to activate, leaving Su Yueli to hold it off alone.
• Su Yueli used Lu Chen’s forbidden Fifth Form, Life Burning, sacrificed thirty years of lifespan, and charged at the Earthsplitter Bear with Little Black.

Su Yueli used a lifespan-burning technique to hold off a Fourth Realm Late Stage Earthsplitter Bear until Qi Feng killed it with a powerful artifact. Qi Feng promised to bring her three pills in seven days, and Su Yueli left Black Wind Valley to recover.

• Su Yueli struck the Earthsplitter Bear with her full strength, but only forced it back and suffered the backlash as Little Black was strained.
• Qi Feng completed his artifact and told Su Yueli to retreat before unleashing a golden immortal sword that grievously wounded the Earthsplitter Bear.
• Qi Feng finished off the bear and thanked Su Yueli for risking her lifespan to protect him and his junior brothers.
• Qi Feng promised to have a True Martial Blood-Soul Pill and two Blood Marrow Pills refined for Su Yueli, using the bear's blood essence and paying for the ingredients himself.
• Su Yueli accepted Qi Feng's offer and agreed to meet him at Black Wind Valley in seven days, then left to recuperate.
• Two disciples who had been knocked unconscious by the battle's aftershocks woke up after Su Yueli departed.

Su Yueli recovered in Black Wind Valley and realized the fifth form of her master's fist art had cost her little despite burning her lifespan, so she named it Ultimate Dao. As she hid from newcomers, Red Sun Sect disciple Lie Yangfeng discovered she was a martial artist.

• Qi Feng and his wounded junior brothers returned to Azure Moon Sect, while Su Yueli hid in a cave and healed her injuries with Little Black’s help.
• After two days, Su Yueli found that using Life Burning had left her with no lasting harm and wondered whether her immortal lifespan made the technique safe to use.
• Su Yueli named her master's fist art Ultimate Dao and vowed to uncover the truth about Shen Huai'an and her master's blood feud.
• Lie Yangfeng and two Red Sun Sect disciples arrived while pursuing a Black Wind Demon Leopard, and Su Yueli concealed her identity by claiming she had seen nothing.
• Lie Yangfeng noticed Su Yueli lacked a cultivator's Purple Mansion Radiance and asked whether she was a martial artist.

Su Yueli avoided trouble with Lie Yangfeng and his companions, then hid deeper in Black Wind Valley to wait out the seven-day appointment. At Azure Moon Sect, Qi Feng asked Fang Mu to refine pills for her, and Shen Huai'an learned that a mortal martial artist had saved Qi Feng's life.

• Su Yueli told Lie Yangfeng she was a martial artist, and he left with his companions after failing to find the demon beast they sought.
• Su Yueli tucked Little Black into her sleeve, left her exposed cave, and found a more concealed hiding place to wait five more days.
• Qi Feng brought the Earthsplitter Bear's essence blood and medicinal herbs to Pill Peak so Fang Mu could refine pills for Su Yueli.
• Shen Huai'an allowed Fang Mu to refine Qi Feng's pills before his own batch of Cosmic Heart-Clearing Pills.
• Shen Huai'an questioned Qi Feng about the True Martial Blood-Soul Pill and Blood Marrow Pills, and Qi Feng explained that they were for the woman who had saved his life.

Qi Feng finally refined Su Yueli’s pills after being delayed by Shen Huai'an’s request, then rushed to Black Wind Valley a day after his promised deadline. Shen Huai'an briefly considered following him but went to meet the Azure Moon Sect Master instead, while Su Yueli waited angrily and wondered whether Qi Feng had stood her up.

• Shen Huai'an told Qi Feng to prioritize the Cosmic Heart-Clearing Pill, delaying the pills for Su Yueli.
• After the pills were finished, Qi Feng heard a Pill Peak disciple say Shen Huai'an had come from a small village and wondered whether Su Yueli knew him.
• Qi Feng received the pills and hurried toward Black Wind Valley, worried Su Yueli would think he had stood her up.
• Shen Huai'an saw Qi Feng leave and considered following him, but the Azure Moon Sect Master summoned him to the main hall.
• Su Yueli waited in Black Wind Valley, roasted a demonic beast, and complained that Qi Feng was a day late; Little Black urged her to confront him if he defaulted.

Su Yueli received powerful pills from Qi Feng and asked him to help her earn cultivation resources through Azure Moon Sect missions. He arranged for her to secretly take over a bounty, leaving her with seven days to kill two Red-Tailed Venom Scorpions.

• Qi Feng arrived a day late, apologized to Su Yueli, and gave her a True Martial Blood-Soul Pill, two Blood Marrow Pills, and the required medicinal ingredients.
• Su Yueli asked whether the Azure Moon Sect offered missions to ordinary martial artists, explaining that she wanted resources and needed a way to investigate Shen Huai'an.
• Qi Feng warned Su Yueli about the dangers and useless rewards of cultivation-world missions, but she insisted on taking one.
• Qi Feng offered to accept a sect bounty in his own name and transfer its rewards to Su Yueli after she completed it.
• Su Yueli accepted a seven-day mission to kill two Early Third Realm Red-Tailed Venom Scorpions in the Shattered Stone Wasteland and bring their venom hooks to Qi Feng.

Su Yueli used a True Martial Blood-Soul Pill to strengthen herself and Little Black, but could not find a path beyond the Tenth Realm. She hunted a Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion for her job and, after a long search, found a second one as the chapter ended.

• Su Yueli gave Little Black half of the True Martial Blood-Soul Pill, then swallowed the rest and failed to break through the fog blocking the Eleventh Realm.
• Su Yueli spent three days refining a Blood Marrow Pill, strengthening her body while Little Black advanced to an Upper-Grade Heaven Rank divine weapon.
• Su Yueli traveled to the Shattered Stone Wasteland and killed an Early Third Realm Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion, taking its venomous tail hook.
• Su Yueli searched the wasteland through the night and the following day before finding a second Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion after dark.

Su Yueli killed an injured Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion and refused to surrender its venom hook and Little Black to two Red Sun Sect cultivators. When they attacked, she endured a severe burn to kill the male cultivator, leaving the female cultivator horrified.

• Su Yueli severed the Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion's tail and killed it, then took its venom hook.
• A Red Sun Sect woman and man demanded Su Yueli hand over her venom hooks and Little Black, claiming they had injured the scorpion.
• Su Yueli offered silver or medicinal herbs as compensation, but the cultivators rejected her offer and threatened to kill her.
• The male cultivator launched a flying sword as the female cultivator attacked with fire, and Su Yueli rushed the man despite being hit and burned.
