• Liu Yu judged his strength sufficient for the latter part of the Yan Kingdom war and began consolidating his cultivation.

• Liu Yu offered to free Ji Ruyan from her Primordial Spirit Restriction, but she asked to become his Dao companion and accepted his offer of concubine status when he refused.

• As Liu Yu prepared to enter the Cultivation Room, another bold thought came to him.

• Liu Yu accepted greeting gifts from allied factions and assured their representatives that his promised benefits would remain unchanged.

• Several Golden Core True Persons arrived, easing the tension, and Daoist Ziyun took over from his junior brother.
• Daoist Ziyun apologized for his junior brother and began explaining the conditions for ascending the mountain while Liu Yu listened in disguise.

Liu Yu passed White Cloud Temple’s qualification test under the alias Hong Hao and climbed Heavenly King Mountain to watch the battle between True Person Changfeng and True Person Qingwei.

• Daoist Ziyun used a divine sense attack to silence a provocateur, then announced that cultivators had to defeat White Cloud Temple examiners to ascend the mountain.
• Zhao Biao challenged a late-stage White Cloud Temple cultivator but conceded after a High-Grade Spirit Artifact overwhelmed him, while the other two challengers split their matches.

• Liu Yu spotted a cultivator he suspected was Cang Lan among the challengers and continued to the summit without stopping to watch his fight.
• Liu Yu reached the summit and saw True Person Changfeng with three Golden Core spectators facing White Cloud Temple’s five Golden Core True Persons, while True Person Qingwei remained absent.
• Liu Yu confirmed Cang Lan’s identity when they exchanged familiar glances, and Cang Lan grew wary of the white-robed cultivator watching him.

• Liu Yu used defensive artifacts and magical items to repel his attackers and tried to escape toward Immortal Palace City.
• Liu Yu's Earth Spirit Pearl and Flame Bodyguard Shield stopped another group of artifacts, allowing him to keep his identity and strength concealed.

Liu Yu fled Heavenly King Mountain, then killed the White Cloud Temple cultivator who pursued him. To evade further searches on the way to Immortal Palace City, he concealed his cultivation and disguised himself as a war refugee traveling by boat along the Jingchuan River.

• Liu Yu escaped the battle at Heavenly King Mountain while a blue-robed White Cloud Temple Daoist pursued him, and he lured the man far from the mountain before confronting him.

Liu Yu was discovered by White Cloud Temple cultivators Bai Haobo and Daoist Meng Xue while attempting to leave their territory, and he chose to fight rather than retreat. He opened with four Spirit Artifacts and a divine sense attack, which wounded Bai Haobo but failed against Meng Xue’s protective bracelet.

• Liu Yu sensed two Foundation Establishment cultivators watching the ferry and abandoned his disguise when they locked onto him.
• Liu Yu confronted silver-haired Daoist Meng Xue and red-browed Bai Haobo, who recognized him as Old Devil Qing Yang and blamed him for the White Household of Phoenix Mountain.

• Liu Yu released four Spirit Artifacts and five Spirit-Shocking Thorns, striking Bai Haobo with two thorns.
• Meng Xue blocked the three thorns aimed at her with a green barrier from her bracelet, leaving her unharmed.

• Liu Yu’s Netherworld Soul-Severing Cone broke through Bai Haobo’s defenses while Daoist Meng Xue used her Red Jade Flute and patterned paper fan to counter Liu Yu’s spirit artifacts.
• Liu Yu struck Bai Haobo with another Spirit-Shocking Thorn, leaving him dazed long enough for the Netherworld Soul-Severing Cone to kill him.
• Daoist Meng Xue grew enraged and unleashed stronger attacks, forcing Liu Yu to defend himself against her flame sparrow and a relentless rain of black ice crystals.
• Liu Yu realized he could not outlast Meng Xue, whose attacks were wearing down his spirit artifacts, and decided he had to escape before reinforcements arrived.
• Liu Yu maintained his defenses while secretly taking the Snow Silk Needle Talisman Treasure from his Storage Bag.

Liu Yu used the Snow Silk Needle Talisman Treasure to break Daoist Meng Xue’s blockade and escaped into Primordial Yang Sect territory, then returned to Eternal Peace Market Ward to recover and prepare for the attack on the Hua Household. Two days later, he gathered Leng Yuexin, Xiao Chong, and three others to depart, leaving Jiang Qiushui in charge of the market ward.

• Liu Yu activated the Snow Silk Needle Talisman Treasure, damaged Daoist Meng Xue’s Red Jade Flute, and forced her to defend with the Apricot-Yellow Umbrella while he escaped.
• Daoist Meng Xue did not pursue Liu Yu, and Zhou Zhuofeng’s group stopped Liu Yu after he entered Primordial Yang Sect territory and confirmed his identity.

• Liu Yu left Jiang Qiushui in charge of Eternal Peace Market Ward and told her to keep their absence secret while he went to meet Li Buyu.

Liu Yu joined Li Buyu’s force to launch a swift attack on the Hua Household’s Sweet Spring Mountain stronghold and seize its Fire Spirit Fruit Tree. The attackers overran a sentry post, but the mountain’s defenses lit up as they approached, and the assault was about to meet the Hua Household’s full force.

• Liu Yu left Jiang Qiushui in charge of his group’s base and flew with Leng Yuexin, Xiao Chong, and the others to meet Li Buyu.
• Li Buyu assembled her force of more than six hundred cultivators with Liu Yu’s group and led them aboard the Origin Returning Boat toward Sweet Spring Mountain.
• As the attackers neared the stronghold, Li Buyu ordered them to strike the sentry posts, and Hua Yunqiu warned her people to retreat before the attackers killed her and the Qi Refining cultivators at her post.
• Li Buyu sent six Foundation Establishment cultivators and three groups of Qi Refining cultivators to attack the other sides of the mountain.
• The Mountain-Guarding Formation brightened as the Origin Returning Boat approached within eight li, revealing hundreds of Hua Household cultivators inside its barrier.

Li Buyu led the Primordial Yang Sect in attacking Sweet Spring Mountain, while the Hua Household’s clan chief, Hua Yunfei, refused to rescue three elders trapped outside the formation. After the elders died, both sides began probing and countering the Heaven-and-Earth Reversal Formation, leaving the assault poised to escalate.

• Li Buyu’s forces intercepted the Hua Household’s sentries as Liu Yu approached Sweet Spring Mountain and prepared the Earth Spirit Pearl against the Heaven-and-Earth Reversal Formation.
• The formation attacked the invaders, but Li Buyu blocked its crescent blades with her silver ring and ordered the Qi Refining cultivators to withdraw.
• Hua Yuke urged Hua Yunfei to rescue three besieged elders, but Hua Yuze and Hua Yunfei insisted that preserving the lineage came first.
• Li Buyu taunted Hua Yunfei, then ordered the besieging cultivators to intensify their attacks, and the three Hua Household elders died before reaching the formation.
• Li Buyu, Liu Yu, and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators attacked the formation to probe its defenses while a formation specialist searched for weaknesses.
• Fearing the Primordial Yang Sect possessed a third-tier Forbidden-Breaking Treasure, Hua Yunfei ordered the Hua Household cultivators to intercept the attackers’ spells and artifacts.
