To keep Mo Yun safe, Bai Zhi persuaded him to move into the Blade Tower, where his decision upset Xiao Changfeng; the chapter ended with Ge Xuanyi asking whether the Sect Master had finished his arrangements.

The Five Elements Sect faced a demon invasion as its disciples strengthened the seven main peak arrays under Xiao Changfeng’s command. Four powerful demon leaders emerged with a mission to break through the defenses, slaughter the sect’s elites, and seize the Sacred Relic before the portal reopened.

• A black-mist portal appeared over the Five Elements Sect, and Xiao Changfeng urged the disciples to channel their true essence into the protective arrays.

• The Wolf Demon ordered the forces below to kill Mo Yun, Yun Mo, and Li Feiyu at any cost before the portal reopened.

• Mo Yun used the Black-and-White Seal to advance the Primordial Unity Chapter of the Geng Metal Art to mastery, reaching late Primordial Unity.

• Mo Yun stood to pack for Cloud Province, but Liu Xiyan and Lin Qingxue approached him.

After the Blade Tower’s crisis was resolved, Liu Xiyan prepared for its revival while Lin Qingxue asked Mo Yun for help understanding the Origin Returning Blade Canon and broke through after his explanation. Mo Yun then sensed the Greedy Wolf Token heating up and suspected something had happened at the Ruins, so he decided to wait for the old Blade Saint and Bai Zhi before investigating.

• Mo Yun returned to the Blade Tower to practice while Lin Qingxue consolidated her cultivation.
• Liu Xiyan persuaded Mo Yun and Lin Qingxue to eat her cooking, which Mo Yun praised as tasty after noticing how much it had improved.
• Mo Yun and the others spent an hour chatting before Ge Xuanyi, Bai Zhi, and Chen Changsheng arrived at the Blade Tower.
• Chen Changsheng asked about Mo Yun, and Ge Xuanyi called him the Blade Tower’s next Tower Master and only barely a Five Elements Sect disciple.
• Bai Zhi said Mo Yun would eventually succeed her as Tower Master, leaving Chen Changsheng speechless.

Mo Yun’s late Primordial Unity cultivation astonished Chen Changsheng, who named him the Five Elements Sect’s Young Sect Master, sparking a dispute with Ge Xuanyi over whether he should lead the sect or the Blade Tower. After they discovered that the ruins were reviving and might return to the present, Mo Yun agreed to investigate them later and left for Cloud Province to hunt demons and fiends.

• Chen Changsheng learned that Mo Yun was not yet seventeen and had reached late Primordial Unity, then declared him the Five Elements Sect’s Young Sect Master.
• Bai Zhi and Ge Xuanyi objected because Mo Yun had promised to become the Blade Tower’s Tower Master, and Ge Xuanyi and Chen Changsheng nearly fought over him.
• Mo Yun warned Ge Xuanyi and Chen Changsheng about unusual activity in the ruins, and they confirmed the ruins’ revival had intensified and they were showing signs of returning to the present.

• Chen Changsheng agreed to take Mo Yun into the ruins, then left to prepare while Mo Yun departed for Cloud Province to hunt demons and fiends for black points.

Mo Yun brought the demon corpses he had collected in Yongzhou to Xiao Changfeng, who helped him exchange them for origin crystals and warned him about powerful demons and devils.

Xu Zhiyi killed fifteen early core condensation martial artists before realizing her progress was far slower than Yun Mo's past assault.

• Mo Yun sensed that the outpost held twenty-three core condensation martial artists and six demons, including a Fourth Tier Peak great demon, and suspected the Demon God Cult was preparing a summoning ritual.

• Xu Zhiyi killed fifteen early core condensation martial artists in nearly two hours and recognized that her assassination pace was far slower than Yun Mo's.
