Chapter Summaries

Shen Luo escaped the Illusory Fog after an unknown figure defeated the Mirage Monster, then argued with Wuman'er over whether to continue seeking the Ginkgo Divine Tree Sap. Yuan Yuan offered to lead them beneath the Divine Tree, leaving their journey unresolved.

• Shen Luo flew into Chi You's mouth and found himself trapped in an endless darkness.
• Shen Luo spotted tears in the illusion, used the Pure Yang Flying Sword and Red Lotus Karmic Fire to break through, and returned to Pink Reed Marsh.

• Shen Luo urged the group to obtain the Ginkgo Divine Tree Sap quickly, but Wuman'er proposed abandoning the quest and returning safely.
• Shen Luo refused to give up and planned to seek the sap alone, but Yuan Yuan offered to take them beneath the Divine Tree.

Shen Luo, Wuman’er, and Yuan Yuan used Inch-Body Pills to travel through the Leaf Spirit Sprites’ secret passage beneath the Divine Tree, hoping to find its sap. They emerged into a demon-guarded chamber, where they were discovered and forced to fight.

• Yuan Yuan led Shen Luo and Wuman’er to the ruined Leaf Spirit Sprite clan grounds and showed them the secret passage inside an ancient tree.
• Wuman’er gave Shen Luo and herself Inch-Body Pills, shrinking them so they could follow Yuan Yuan through the narrow passage.
• After traveling for a day, the three reached the Divine Tree’s roots and learned that a formation above them guarded the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.
• The passage opened into a brightly lit chamber guarded by demons, and Shen Luo urged Yuan Yuan to return to the clan grounds.
• A demon spotted the trio and attacked, so Shen Luo expanded to his normal size and countered the blue light as Wuman’er and Yuan Yuan joined him in the chamber.

Shen Luo and Wuman'er fled after their attempt to obtain Ginkgo Divine Tree Essence was exposed, but Guizang and a powerful pursuer chased them from the Divine Tree. After Shen Luo broke through encircling blood clouds, a curved icy blade pierced the Bloodthirst Banner and struck toward his back.

• Guizang ordered the demons to attack Shen Luo and Wuman'er, and Wuman'er used thorny vines to overwhelm the lesser demons.

Shen Luo and Wuman'er fought through the Nine-Headed Insect’s Blood Cloud Formation, using the Ghost Spirit Pearl to remove demonic qi from their magic treasures.

• Shen Luo and Wuman'er used the Azure Spirit Wood Seal and a green gemstone to block Nine-Headed Insect’s enormous bloody palm, but the seal was destroyed and Wuman'er fainted.

A white-robed young man saved Shen Luo from a hidden second Crescent Magical Treasure, and Shen Luo recognized a familiar aura from the figure that had broken through the Illusory Fog.

• Shen Luo blocked Nine-Headed Insect's attacks with the Demon-Slaying Remnant Sword while carrying Wuman'er.

• A white-robed young man emerged, healed Wuman'er with a life-force spell, and drew Shen Luo's recognition of a familiar aura.

Shen Luo realized the white-robed young man was Ao Lie, the Little White Dragon, and learned that Nine-Headed Insect had attacked the West Sea Dragon Palace and injured Ao Lie’s father. As Ao Lie confronted Nine-Headed Insect over the stolen treasures, their battle began.

• Shen Luo used the Ghost Spirit Pearl to draw demonic energy from his wounds and recover with a healing pill.
• Princess Wansheng recognized the white-robed young man as the Third Prince, and Shen Luo identified him as Ao Lie, the Little White Dragon.
• Shen Luo provoked Princess Wansheng and Nine-Headed Insect, who struck her twice in a jealous rage.
• Ao Lie accused Nine-Headed Insect of plundering Cloud Dream Marsh and the West Sea Dragon Palace, injuring his father, and demanded the stolen treasures back.
• Nine-Headed Insect challenged Ao Lie to fight, and Ao Lie attacked him with his golden dragon spear.

Shen Luo healed Wuman'er while Little White Dragon fought Nine-Headed Insect and gained the advantage. Princess Wansheng intervened, but Nine-Headed Insect betrayed her and detonated his Moon-Soul Hook, gravely wounding Little White Dragon; Shen Luo escaped the silver hurricane carrying him, only to encounter Nine-Headed Insect again.

Shen Luo, Wuman'er, and Little White Dragon escaped Nine-Headed Insect after he was overwhelmed by demonic energy, while Princess Wansheng and the demons arrived to help him. Shen Luo carried his unconscious companions toward the edge of Cloud Dream Marsh, delaying treatment until they were farther from danger.

• Nine-Headed Insect attacked Shen Luo, Wuman'er, and Little White Dragon under the influence of demonic energy, but Shen Luo used Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Little White Dragon's spear, and a thunder talisman to create an opening for their escape.
• After Shen Luo and his companions vanished, Nine-Headed Insect collapsed and convulsed as his baleful energy dispersed.
• Princess Wansheng tried to reach Nine-Headed Insect, but Guizang, Lianshan, and a blue-robed demoness arrived and took him toward the Blood Pool.
• The blue-robed demoness healed Princess Wansheng and offered to pursue Shen Luo, but Princess Wansheng refused and chose to wait for Nine-Headed Insect to recover.
• Shen Luo, Wuman'er, and the unconscious Little White Dragon emerged above a lake, and Shen Luo carried them through successive escapes to a mountain range near the edge of Cloud Dream Marsh.

Shen Luo hid with the wounded Little White Dragon and discovered that an unknown icy force was preventing his wounds from healing, so Wuman'er began a treatment expected to take a month. Meanwhile, Nine-Headed Insect recovered in a blood pool and ordered a search for Shen Luo and his companions before they could recover.

• Shen Luo concealed a cave dwelling with Restrictions and the Two-Extremes Dust Formation while Wuman'er and Yuan Yuan treated Little White Dragon.
• Wuman'er found that a strange icy force clung to Little White Dragon's wounds, resisted Shen Luo's Pure Yang Power, and would take a month to expel with her Magic Formation.
• Shen Luo asked Ghost General to guard the cave dwelling, then discovered that nearly half his Innate Vital Energy had been contaminated by black-red demonic qi and began purifying it.
• The blue-robed female demon healed Nine-Headed Insect in a Blood Pool and told him the thieves had escaped while Princess Wansheng recovered from her injuries.
• Nine-Headed Insect ordered the blue-robed female demon to search for the fugitives and release the Blue-Winged Bird before they recovered.

Nine-Headed Insect’s scouts failed to find Shen Luo and the others, who remained hidden behind the Two-Extremes Dust Formation. With the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit nearing maturity, Nine-Headed Insect ordered Ba Serpent, Lianshan, and Guizang to strengthen the Divine Tree’s defenses while he recovered.

• Nine-Headed Insect sent demons and Blue-Winged Birds across Cloud Dream Marsh to search for Shen Luo and the others.
• The Blue-Winged Birds found nothing because Shen Luo’s Two-Extremes Dust Formation concealed its Restriction power.
• After more than ten days without results, Ba Serpent reported the failed search to Nine-Headed Insect.
• Nine-Headed Insect set aside the search and gave Ba Serpent Kun Origin One-Qi Formation flags to combine with the Qianyuan Return to Ruins Formation around the Ginkgo Divine Tree.
• Ba Serpent, Lianshan, and Guizang began setting up the formation within the existing barrier.

Shen Luo stabilized his cultivation and consumed the Wind-Thunder Immortal Jujube, whose lightning drove away some of the demonic qi in his body. The ghost head concealed within him emerged and attacked with Soul-Seizing Demonic Sound, leaving Shen Luo unable to control his body.

• The Ba Serpent, Lianshan, and Guizang activated the Heaven-Earth Profound Restriction Grand Formation to protect the Ginkgo Divine Tree.
• Shen Luo completed more than half a month of cultivation, stabilizing his realm while struggling to contain the demonic qi in his vital energy.
• Shen Luo swallowed the Wind-Thunder Immortal Jujube, and its golden lightning swept away some of the demonic qi in his body.
• A black ghost head emerged from Shen Luo's right shoulder, and he recognized it as the creature that had once attached itself to him as a pattern.
• The ghost head unleashed cutting sound waves, which Shen Luo blocked with blue watery light.
• The ghost head used Soul-Seizing Demonic Sound, stunning Shen Luo and making his limbs move beyond his control.

Shen Luo escaped the black ghost creature’s Soul-Seizing Demonic Sound with the Ghost General’s Two-Extremes Dust Formation and defeated it with his Pure Yang swords. He left the Ghost General to devour the restrained creature and returned to the secret chamber.

• Shen Luo used the Buzhou Suppression Divine Art and Coiled Dragon Jade to resist the Soul-Seizing Demonic Sound, but the black ghost creature’s renewed attack overwhelmed him.
• The Ghost General arrived with a formation flag and trapped the black ghost creature inside the Two-Extremes Dust Formation’s white mist.
• Shen Luo learned that the ghost creature might have been a monk and agreed to let the Ghost General devour it.
• Shen Luo returned to the creature and resisted its demonic sound, then wounded and bound it with his Pure Yang Sword and Pure Yang Shadow-Cloning Sword.
• The Ghost General merged with the bound creature to absorb its Yuan energy, while Shen Luo returned to the secret chamber.

Shen Luo refined the Wind-Thunder Immortal Jujube, gaining the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings and advancing the Huangting Scripture to its fourth level. With the fruit fully refined, he was left stronger and more resilient, and considered whether his new wings could let him cultivate Wingspan Thousand Li.

• Shen Luo refined the Wind-Thunder Immortal Jujube and discovered Gold-Cyan Spirit Runes forming along his spine, which produced spiritual wings when he activated them.
• Shen Luo used the Huangting Scripture to suppress the growth of flesh wings, then tested the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings and crashed into a restricted stone wall.
• Shen Luo realized the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings might let him cultivate Wingspan Thousand Li, and moved the Gold-Cyan Spirit Runes from his spine to his arms.
• Shen Luo continued refining the jujube and advanced the Huangting Scripture to its third level, then its fourth level.
• Shen Luo completely refined the jujube and found that his physical strength, toughness, and meridians had greatly improved.

Shen Luo mastered the Wind-Thunder Twin Wings’ Wingspan Thousand Li technique and stabilized his improved cultivation before deciding to return to the Ginkgo Divine Tree as its spirit fruit neared ripening. Little White Dragon and Wuman'er equipped him with treasures to help him navigate Cloud Dream Marsh and deal with its dangers.

• Shen Luo practiced Wingspan Thousand Li for a day and night, learning to fly at tremendous speed despite the heavy Magic Power cost.
• Shen Luo spent three days consolidating his unstable Magic Power, then learned that Little White Dragon needed about another month to expel the Moon Soul Fiendish Qi.
• Shen Luo told Little White Dragon and Wuman'er that he planned to seek the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit or Divine Tree Sap, and Little White Dragon warned him that the Nine-Headed Insect would be on guard but might still be weakened.
• Little White Dragon gave Shen Luo a Spirit-Gathering Cup so they could communicate over long distances and consult about restrictions in Cloud Dream Marsh.
• Wuman'er gave Shen Luo a Magnetheart Male Wood seed that could guide him toward the female seed she had left near the Ginkgo Divine Tree.

Shen Luo learned Yi Wood spells from Wuman’er and used her Magnetheart Wood Seed to see inside the yellow barrier surrounding the Ginkgo Divine Tree. He discovered the nearly ripe fruits and the demons’ formation, giving Little White Dragon a chance to study how it worked.

• Wuman’er gave Shen Luo a jade slip containing three Yi Wood spells, and he quickly learned them.
• Shen Luo traveled in concealment to the Ginkgo Divine Tree and found it enclosed by a yellow barrier that blocked his attempts to investigate.
• Shen Luo contacted Little White Dragon with the Spirit-Gathering Cup, and Little White Dragon identified the barrier as resembling an ancient restriction formation and taught Shen Luo a Spirit-Peeping Secret Art.
• Shen Luo used the secret art through Wuman’er’s seed and saw the Ginkgo Divine Tree, its nine nearly ripe fruits, and Ba Serpent with two other demons operating a large formation.
• Shen Luo realized that the formation’s exposed activity could help Little White Dragon determine how to break the barrier.

Shen Luo secretly observed Ba Serpent and his companions operating the Heaven-Earth Profound Restriction Grand Formation, then discovered Mount He Sect cultivators had arrived to claim the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit. The Mount He Sect began weakening the barrier with its Restriction-Breaking Pearl, and Ba Serpent identified them as the attackers.

• Shen Luo relayed Ba Serpent and his companions' spellcasting methods to Little White Dragon before concealing himself as Mount He Sect cultivators arrived.
• Mount He Sect's Grand Elder questioned a gaunt young man about the missing Jin Fei and his companions, while Shen Luo suspected they had been killed by the white-robed snake demon.
• The Mount He Sect cultivators examined the powerful restriction, and the Grand Elder brought out the sect's Restriction-Breaking Pearl.
• The Grand Elder used the Restriction-Breaking Formation to direct purple light at the barrier, causing its yellow glow to fade.
• Lianshan and Guizang noticed the disturbance inside the grand formation, and Ba Serpent used a blue mirror to show them the human cultivators outside.

Shen Luo learned that Mount He Sect cultivators had arrived to seek the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, while Little White Dragon prepared a method to break the ancient Restrictions. After arranging for Wuman'er and Yuan Yuan to support the effort, Shen Luo returned to the Two-Elements Dust Illusion Formation to help the Ghost General break through.

• The Restrictions resisted the Mount He Sect Grand Elder's Restriction-Breaking Pearl, but Little White Dragon told Shen Luo he was preparing an array disc to break them.
• Shen Luo returned to the cave dwelling and learned that Wuman'er had found a way to seal Little White Dragon's Moon Soul Fiendish Qi temporarily.

• Shen Luo entered the Two-Elements Dust Illusion Formation, released stored yin qi into the Ghost General's black mist sphere, and reinforced the surrounding barrier with his formation flag.

Shen Luo helped the Ghost General break through to the mid-Great Vehicle Stage, where he learned the ghost had once been a virtuous monk who died pursuing the western scriptures. After collecting a formation tool from Little White Dragon, Shen Luo returned to the Heaven-Earth Profound Restriction Grand Formation as the Mount He Sect began opening a passage through its barrier.

• The Ghost General absorbed the black ghost's power, advanced to the mid-Great Vehicle Stage, and inherited Soul-Seizing Demonic Sound and Ghost Howl.
• The Ghost General revealed that the black ghost had been a Buddhist monk killed by a demon while traveling to obtain the western scriptures.
• Little White Dragon gave Shen Luo an Earth-Origin Formation capable of opening a passage through the Heaven-Earth Profound Restriction Grand Formation three times.
• Shen Luo returned to the Mount He Sect's encampment with Wuman'er, then hid her in the Cosmic Bag before approaching the sect.
• The Mount He Sect grand elder activated a large formation, driving the Restriction-Breaking Pearl into the barrier and boring a passage through it.

The Mount He Sect’s grand elder failed to break the yellow restriction with the Restriction-Breaking Pearl, then found Tian Tiesheng making rapid progress with a formation. He pressured Tian Tiesheng into joining forces to obtain the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit, unaware that he was Shen Luo in disguise and planned to exploit the alliance.

• The grand elder’s Restriction-Breaking Pearl rebounded from the yellow screen and injured him.
• Poison Lady reported that a green-robed cultivator was successfully breaking the restriction, and the Mount He Sect followed her to him.
• The green-robed cultivator stopped his formation and tried to flee, but the grand elder and the others surrounded him.
• The cultivator introduced himself as Tian Tiesheng, and the grand elder persuaded him to join the Mount He Sect’s effort to obtain the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.
• Tian Tiesheng agreed while secretly revealed as Shen Luo, who planned to seize the fruit amid the coming chaos.
• Shen Luo began setting up his formation again as the grand elder asked about its name and origin.
