He ordered daily practice under the Vice Pavilion Masters and entered seclusion to prepare, while news of the Fire Pavilion’s poor training soon reached the Water Pavilion.

• Chen Mo told Ye Ming and Nu Tao to coordinate Fire Pavilion training and prepare for the Five Spirits Offering.
• Chen Mo gathered the Fire Pavilion members and used the Fire Seal to summon an ape-shaped beast for them to attack together.

• News of the Fire Pavilion’s poor training reached the other four pavilions, and someone in the Water Pavilion mocked them for starting so late.

As the Five Spirits Offering approached, Chen Mo prepared Fire Pavilion for the contest while Water Pavilion formed plans to oppose them. Chen Mo led Fire Pavilion’s members to Five Spirit Island, where the event was traditionally held.

• Water Pavilion’s leaders dismissed Fire Pavilion’s chances, while Yu Qingxuan warned them not to underestimate Chen Mo and Ling Miao said she would monitor Fire Pavilion.
• Chen Mo gave Youming Mu and Youming Qi spiritual pills made from Zheng’s Beast Core as thanks, and insisted he was not seeking their help at the offering.

The Five Pavilions and five clans gathered on Five Spirit Island for the Five Spirits Offering, where the Spirit Locking Tower was raised to capture elemental spirits and extract their Spiritual Source. The Demon Lord’s Reincarnation Realm Orange Cat appeared atop the tower, leaving the gathered elders and crowd paying their respects.

• The Five Pavilions gathered on Five Spirit Island, and onlookers speculated that the Fire Pavilion would be outmatched despite the offering’s fire spirit.
• Nangong Qingtian arrived as the Elf Clan’s envoy, followed by Ling Yan of the Spirit Clan’s Law Pavilion, who spoke privately with him about a possible match for Nangong Jinse.
• Feng Qing arrived with the Merfolk delegation, and Yu Xiaoxiao flew to her aunt and chatted with her inside a protective barrier.
• Elders from the Asura Clan and Demon Race arrived, completing the gathering of the five clans.
• A bell rang, and an enormous formation raised the Spirit Locking Tower, which would seal summoned elemental spirits and drain their Spiritual Source.
• An Orange Cat landed atop the tower, and the Reincarnation Realm elders and gathered crowd greeted it as Lord Cat.

The Orange Cat opened the Five Spirits Offering by drawing fire-attributed Spiritual Sources into the Spirit Locking Tower, where Chen Mo and the Five Pavilions began competing to collect them. Chen Mo’s Fire Pavilion gathered in the desert, but the Water Pavilion seized the Spiritual Sources they were about to claim and confronted them.

• The Water Pavilion surrounded the Fire Pavilion’s target Spiritual Sources with blue light and dragged them away.
• Yu Qingxuan told Chen Mo that Spiritual Sources belonged to whoever could take them, and Chen Mo asked whether she meant to seize all of the Fire Pavilion’s sources.

Yu Qingxuan and Nu Mou joined forces to prevent the Fire Pavilion from collecting Spiritual Sources and Scarlet Fire Lotuses, but Chen Mo used the Heaven Burning Array Diagram to turn the tide. As the opposing attack broke through the array’s defenses, Chen Mo summoned a vast firebird revealed to be the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird.

• Nu Mou realized the array was absorbing the Scarlet Fire Lotuses and ordered both pavilions to attack it.

• Chen Mo summoned a thousand-zhang firebird, which drew in the Scarlet Fire Lotuses and crushed the incoming attack as onlookers recognized it as the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird.

Chen Mo used the Vermilion Bird to absorb the Spiritual Source and overpower the Water and Earth Pavilions during the Five Spirits Offering. When Yu Qingxuan and Nu Mou tried to negotiate, Chen Mo refused, and Nu Mou broke the rules by attacking him, leaving his punishment in the hands of the Law Pavilion.

• Chen Mo fused the Vermilion Bird with the Undying Demonic Flame and the Heaven Burning Array’s fire, making it grow to more than seventy thousand zhang as it absorbed Spiritual Source and the Water and Earth Pavilions’ attacks.

• The Orange Cat reacted to Nu Mou’s attack, while Nangong Qingtian condemned the rule-breaking and called for severe punishment.
• Feng Qing argued that the Law Pavilion should judge the matter, as the Asura, Merfolk, and Feng clans had enough votes to influence its decision.

• Nu Mou ignored Nangong Jinse’s warning and attacked Chen Mo again, while a Vice Pavilion Master blocked her and Ye Ming chose not to intervene.

• The Vermilion Bird’s Undying Demonic Flame melted the Asura Divine Statue and its blade, then struck Nu Mou and sent him crashing into a crater.

Chen Mo and the Vermilion Bird fought Nu Mou as the Water and Earth Pavilions formed the Demonic Dragon Killing Formation. With the Demonic Dragon overpowering the Vermilion Bird, Chen Mo ordered it to fly toward the dome while Yu Qingxuan pursued.

Chen Mo overcame the Demonic Dragon Killing Formation by slaughtering the weakened Water Pavilion members after Yu Qingxuan blocked his attack with Sacred Yin Water. With the formation broken, the Vermilion Bird began turning the fight against the demonic dragon, while the Five Clans’ elders considered how to punish Chen Mo.

• Yu Qingxuan used a seven-colored conch containing Sacred Yin Water to block Chen Mo’s strike, and Chen Mo turned his attention to the Water Pavilion camp.
• Chen Mo used his Undying Golden Body to strike the weakened Water Pavilion members, killing hundreds as they continued sustaining the formation.
• The Five Clans’ elders discussed severely punishing Chen Mo, while Nangong Qingtian urged them to wait until he left the Spirit Locking Tower.
• After the Demonic Dragon Killing Formation broke, the Vermilion Bird began its counterattack and gradually gained the upper hand over the demonic dragon.

Chen Mo defeated the Water and Earth Pavilion forces, claimed most of the Spiritual Source, and angered the Fire Pavilion with his allocation. As the Spirit Locking Tower opened, the survivors warned that Chen Mo would face retribution outside.

• Nu Zhan identified himself as a member of the Law Pavilion Enforcement Team and declared that Chen Mo would be arrested for killing 183 people.
• Chen Mo challenged the accusation, saying Nu Mou and the Water and Earth Pavilion members had attacked him first and that he had acted in self-defense.

• Chen Mo blocked Nu Zhan's attack, but Nu Zhan struck at him again for resisting arrest.
• Lord Cat used a Spirit Domain to disable Nu Zhan and stopped his deadly attack on Chen Mo.

• The tied vote shocked everyone, and Ling Yan angrily confronted Nangong Qingtian about the Elf Clan’s decision.

• Ling Yan and the Spirit and Asura Clan elders demanded that Chen Mo be punished, while the Demon Race and Elf Clan elders defended him.
• The Orange Cat proposed that Nu Mou and the other attackers receive the same punishment as Chen Mo, and You Mingtong warned that the Demon Lord could be brought into the matter.
