Gu Sheng learned the Clumsy Bow’s power from Li Ruoyu and used it to defend himself when Spirit Peak cultivators attacked him. After Li Ruoyu stopped the bow’s deadly arrow, Gu Sheng meditated on how to become one with Clumsy Peak and reached an apparent breakthrough that lit up the entire Tai Xuan Sect.

• Li Ruoyu told Gu Sheng that the Clumsy Bow could destroy a cultivator’s primordial spirit when fitted with feathers shed by summoned ravens.
• Spirit Peak cultivators attacked Gu Sheng over his injury to Ling Mu and his absorption of the Spirit Spring Power, so Gu Sheng fired a raven-feathered arrow that pursued them.
• Li Ruoyu stopped the arrow before it struck, reprimanded both sides, and warned Gu Sheng that the bow was too powerful to use carelessly.
• Li Ruoyu advised Gu Sheng that he had to become one with Clumsy Peak to control the bow naturally, and Gu Sheng sat down to meditate on the idea.
• Gu Sheng realized that he needed to regard himself as part of Clumsy Peak, and their merging radiance illuminated the Tai Xuan Sect.
• Gu Sheng opened his eyes and told Li Ruoyu that he understood, while Li Ruoyu remarked that Gu Sheng had hidden himself well.

Gu Sheng joined Clumsy Peak, reached the top of the Nine-story Xuan Tower, and triggered the peak’s dramatic rise. As Clumsy Peak’s new prestige drew disciples away from the other peaks, the elders asked Li Ruoyu to accept new disciples.

• Li Ruoyu revealed that he knew Gu Sheng possessed the Primordial Saint Body, and Gu Sheng chose to cultivate on Clumsy Peak.

• The five elders of Spirit Peak met Li Ruoyu again and urged him to open Clumsy Peak’s gates and accept promising disciples to ease the strain on the sect.

Li Ruoyu explained that Clumsy Peak had once guarded Tai Xuan Sect’s lost Nine Great Secret Arts, and that the Clumsy Bow had renewed the other peaks’ interest in the peak. At the selection, thirty disciples entered, including Ling Mu, who challenged Gu Sheng and attacked him despite agreeing to a one-handed spar.

• Li Ruoyu told Gu Sheng that the Clumsy Bow had led the other peaks to hope Clumsy Peak’s new disciples would uncover clues to the lost Nine Great Secret Arts.
• The next day, Li Ruoyu used a barrier to screen candidates, and Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue welcomed the thirty disciples who passed, including Ling Mu.
• Ling Mu and several other disciples provoked Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue, so Li Ruoyu allowed Gu Sheng to spar with them using only one hand.
• Gu Sheng calmly defended against Ling Mu’s attacks, but Ling Mu grew frustrated and broke his promise by attacking with both hands.

Gu Sheng defeated Ling Mu and his companions at Clumsy Peak before Li Ruoyu ended the clash and dismissed them. After spending several days avoiding trouble around the Ninety-nine Main Peaks, Gu Sheng went to Star Peak with Ji Ziyue and reunited with his first love, Li Xiaoman, who began to say something troubling.

• Li Xiaoman criticized Gu Sheng for showing off, while Ji Ziyue defended him as Spirit Peak cultivators arrived seeking revenge for Ling Mu.
• Gu Sheng broke a Spirit Peak cultivator’s sword with a flick and defeated the group after they attacked him together.

• Chen Feng appeared and challenged Gu Sheng, who used the Seven Star Footwork to neutralize Chen Feng’s attacks and face his seven star-powered light swords.

• Ji Hong appeared and trapped Li Ruoyu with cloud dragons before revealing that he had come to find Ji Ziyue.
• Ji Hong shattered the cabin, bound Gu Sheng, and accused him of carrying the aura of the Ji family's Void Scripture; the Grand Elder freed Gu Sheng and defended him as a Tai Xuan Sect disciple.

• Ji Hong offered to let Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue go if Gu Sheng could withstand three moves, immobilized Ji Ziyue, and began forming a pattern of interwoven rays of light.

• Gu Sheng used the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Footwork to escape Ji Hong's He Tu Luo Shu Formation, revealing that Old Madman had taught him the technique.
• Ji Hong recognized the footwork, allowed Ji Ziyue to remain with Gu Sheng, and left as the other peaks' elders gathered on Clumsy Peak.

• A powerful wave of divine power surged toward Gu Sheng as he approached Old Madman.

Gu Sheng and Old Madman tried to open the Domain Gate, but the attempt triggered a destructive backlash that shattered the altar. Gu Sheng brought the sleeping Old Madman back to Clumsy Peak, where the incident drew the Tai Xuan Sect elders’ attention, and Ji Ziyue later found Gu Sheng seeking solitude.

• Old Madman battered down the barrier covering the altar, then used its power with Gu Sheng to try to open the Domain Gate and cross the void.
• When the distorted gate unleashed a violent shockwave, Gu Sheng pulled Old Madman off the altar, which was destroyed; a lightning net then enveloped Old Madman as he fell asleep.
• Tai Xuan Sect elders arrived to repair the Domain Gate, while Gu Sheng carried Old Madman away and returned to Clumsy Peak.
• Li Ruoyu recognized Old Madman, scolded Gu Sheng over the failed attempt, and learned that Old Madman had simply been sleeping beneath the lightning net.
• Old Madman's arrival drew Tai Xuan Sect elders and Grand Elders to Clumsy Peak, and Ji Ziyue found Gu Sheng sitting alone on the mountainside.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were invited to Spirit Peak, where they met Hua Yunfei, a musician who knew of Gu Sheng’s background and had once sparred with Ji Haoyue. The chapter ended with Gu Sheng surprised by Hua Yunfei’s connection to Ji Ziyue’s brother.

• Ji Ziyue accepted an invitation to Spirit Peak and persuaded Gu Sheng to come by threatening to gossip with Li Xiaoman about him.

• The pair met Hua Yunfei, who said Li Xiaoman had told him about Gu Sheng’s distant origins and unusual experiences.
• Ji Ziyue recognized Hua Yunfei as the man who had sparred with her brother Ji Haoyue, leaving Gu Sheng astonished.

• Ji Haoyue and Gu Sheng both struggled to control surging power, leaving Ji Haoyue suspecting that their disturbances were connected.

Gu Sheng blocked Ji Haoyue’s attack and avoided revealing his secrets, then claimed Old Madman had taught him his strength. As the gathering pressed him for more, he began hinting that the Bronze Immortal Palace was connected to his cultivation.

• Ji Haoyue attacked Gu Sheng after questioning his connection to the demon race, but Gu Sheng’s golden light blocked the strike and held firm against a stronger follow-up.
• Elder Ji Hong arrived, reprimanded Ji Haoyue for bullying the weak, and asked Gu Sheng about Yan Ruyu; Gu Sheng recounted being tricked into Peach Blossom Grove while concealing the Demon Emperor’s Heart.
• Ji Hong ordered Ji Haoyue to return to the family, and Ji Haoyue left after exchanging farewells with Hua Yunfei.
• Hua Yunfei and the other cultivators asked how Gu Sheng had become so powerful, so Gu Sheng falsely credited Old Madman and improvised a lesson on cultivation basics.
• Gu Sheng began toying with the curious gathering by saying the Bronze Immortal Palace was connected to his reaching this realm, angering Ji Ziyue.

After Gu Sheng's story about the Bronze Immortal Palace spread through the Eastern Wasteland and brought trouble to Clumsy Peak, he left to spare Li Ruoyu and the sect further harm. Ji Ziyue tried to follow him, but Elder Ji Hong restrained her and took her back toward the Ji Family.

Nangong Zheng came to the Tai Xuan Sect seeking Gu Sheng, but Li Ruoyu and the Grand Elders forced him to leave after explaining Gu Sheng was gone. The Peacock King then pursued a Ji family elder to the Ji Family estate and attacked, leaving Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue fleeing as Ji Hong stayed behind to hold him off.

• Ji Ziyue asked Ji Hong to help the Tai Xuan Sect, but he refused and said Li Ruoyu would handle Nangong Zheng.

After Ji Ziyue brought Gu Sheng to Ancestor Ji Hui, she thanked him for saving her and questioned him about his background and use of the Ji family's Great Void Technique. Gu Sheng agreed to stop using the technique, then obtained a golden “Origin” from the Ji family treasury, which began repairing his body as Ji Ren watched him with a vicious glint.

• Pagoda King and his subordinates retreated, and Ji Ziyue insisted that Gu Sheng accompany her to Ancestor Ji Hui.
• Ji Ziyue introduced Gu Sheng as her rescuer, and Ancestor Ji Hui questioned him about his origins and how he had learned the Great Void Technique.

After rescuing a woman and her child from wolves, he learned of a nearby capital, but Ji Hui caught up with him and demanded he give up his cultivation and the Great Void Technique.
