• Ru Shuang charged the passage with the White Jade Token to make it safe, and Xiao Fan stepped inside.

Xiao Fan entered the Spirit World by using chaos flame to bypass its guarded portal and conceal his presence, then surveyed the world beneath its towering tree. Meanwhile, Mo Shang faced the Hall of Souls elders’ displeasure over the Starfall Pavilion banquet, leaving him under pressure as their leader.

• Mo Shang demanded to know whether the Hall of Souls would let Starfall Pavilion act arrogantly, while the elders privately welcomed the trouble landing on his shoulders.

• Mo Shang pretended to threaten resignation until the elders agreed not to obstruct his orders, then left the Main Hall as they laughed among themselves.
• Mo Shang revealed that the soul he had captured was Si Wenbo, the former valley master of Three Stars Valley, whose faction Elder Yan had destroyed, and promised to help him seek revenge.

• Xiao Fan used Qing Jue's secret markings and a disguise to approach the city inside the giant tree, where a guard stopped him at the gate.

Xiao Fan infiltrated the Spirit Clan’s Holy City by pretending to possess a high-level spirit rune, then cautiously made his way toward the place where the moonlight fell. He narrowly avoided detection by the powerful Tianchi and, after hiding until the search passed, received a new quest.

• Xiao Fan forged a high-level spirit rune, convincing the guards to let him enter the Holy City.
• After overhearing that high-level spirit rune holders had a separate passage, Xiao Fan checked that he was not being watched and continued into the city.
• Xiao Fan noticed that the moonlight and the white jade palace he had seen outside were missing inside the Giant Tree, and headed toward the moonlight’s source.
• Tianchi sensed Xiao Fan nearby and searched the area, but Xiao Fan hid inside a residence and evaded her and the guards.
• After everyone left, Xiao Fan emerged from a wooden barrel and realized Tianchi was a powerful Dou Sheng.
• A mechanical voice announced that the "Moon's Sorrow" quest had activated.

Xiao Fan pursued the Moon's Sorrow mission toward the moonlit mountains in the Spirit Clan's Holy City, using the Chaos Flame and an Invisibility Cloak to cross a guarded plain. He escaped the experts' search and reached the mountains, while Tong Ye confirmed that someone had infiltrated the Holy City.

• Xiao Fan saw the Moon's Sorrow mission trigger again and resolved to prevent Yue Yao's story from ending in tragedy.
• Xiao Fan bought an Invisibility Cloak and crossed the exposed plain, but a formation activated and summoned Spirit Clan experts, including Tianchi.
• Tianchi told Granny and the experts that she had sensed someone watching her, and Granny ordered Tong Ye to gather the latest reports while they guarded the Saintess.
• Xiao Fan escaped the sealed area, reached the mountains, and removed the cloak after spending 18,000 Source Coins.
• Tong Ye returned and told the experts that someone had indeed infiltrated the Holy City.

Tong Ye reported that a black-robed figure had entered the Holy City using a high-level spirit rune, but Tianchi argued that the rune might be genuine because only someone who had undergone the Holy Pool's baptism could imbue it with the Moon God's power. Granny ordered the city’s security tightened and authorized patrols to arrest anyone concealing their identity, using force if necessary.

• Tong Ye told the Spirit Clan experts that a black-robed figure had entered the Holy City with a high-level spirit rune and then disappeared.
• Several experts urged Granny to search the city and investigate the clan for a possible leak.
• Tianchi explained that spirit runes contained the Moon God's power and could not be convincingly counterfeited without undergoing the Holy Pool's baptism.
• The experts agreed to prioritize protecting the Saintess while her trial continued.
• Granny ordered a fifty-percent increase in security and allowed Law Enforcement Teams to arrest concealed individuals or kill them if necessary.

Xiao Fan secretly crossed the Spirit Clan’s defenses and infiltrated the island where Yue Yao was cultivating. He found her beneath the descending Moon God Trials Palace, but the chapter ended before they reunited.

• Xiao Fan concealed himself with chaos flame and flew through the Mountain Range toward the island beneath the moonlight.
• Xiao Fan found a formation surrounding the island and entered through an underwater opening without alerting the guards.
• Granny took up watch outside the island, confident its defenses would prevent anyone from disturbing Yue Yao.
• Xiao Fan reached the island’s center and saw Yue Yao standing in the moonlight beneath the descending Palace.

Xiao Fan found Yue Yao cultivating in the Spirit World and discovered she had reached peak Five-Turn Dou Zun. When he approached, she identified herself as Yan Ling, the Spirit Clan's sixty-seventh Saintess, and Xiao Fan attacked, demanding she return Yue Yao's body.

• Xiao Fan watched Yue Yao absorb moonlight and used Golden Eyes to see that she was a peak Five-Turn Dou Zun.
• Xiao Fan revealed himself after Yue Yao finished cultivating, and the full-moon mark on his forehead eased her hostility.
• Yue Yao said she was Yan Ling, the Spirit Clan's sixty-seventh Saintess, not Yue Yao.
• Yan Ling attacked Xiao Fan with ice crystals, and he blocked them with his chaos flame.
• Yan Ling charged with an ice-blue sword, while Xiao Fan summoned his Heavenly Flames and demanded that she leave Yue Yao's body.

Yan Ling tested Xiao Fan’s strength ahead of the Moon God Trials, and their clash with Heaven Tier Dou Techniques damaged the formation protecting the island. Spirit Clan Dou Sheng experts discovered the fight, but Granny stopped them from intervening and ordered them to watch.

• Yan Ling recognized Xiao Fan’s Moon God Envoy mark and challenged him to prove himself before the Moon God Trials.

• The Dou Sheng Experts surrounded Xiao Fan and objected that an outsider who had entered by theft could not take part in the trials.
• Granny overruled the objections and ordered the experts to give Xiao Fan a place in the trials.

After the Dou Sheng Experts left, Granny tried to inspect Xiao Fan, but the powers protecting him erupted and revealed a black flame that frightened even a late-stage Dou Sheng. An icy-blue Emperor Weapon then appeared to confront the flame, leaving Granny stunned.

• Granny dismissed the gathered Dou Sheng Experts and put Xiao Fan to sleep after Yan Ling secured him a place in the moon god trials.
• Yan Ling told Granny that Xiao Fan had endured her Ice Pole Judgment, then left to resume secluded cultivation before the trials began in about half a month.
• Tianchi warned Granny that Xiao Fan possessed traces of seven heavenly flames and asked her to send him to Tianchi.
• Granny tried to envelop Xiao Fan with Dou Qi, but his heavenly flames activated to protect him; she suppressed them with her Dou Sheng aura.
• When Granny reached for Xiao Fan again, a terrifying black flame erupted from him, and Granny realized its power surpassed Dou Sheng and pointed toward Dou Di.
• An icy-blue Spear appeared through Granny's Spatial Sealing and faced the black flame, which Granny recognized as an Emperor Weapon.

The imperial weapon acknowledged Xiao Fan as the Moon God Envoy after the Chaos Flame protected him, and Granny sent the sleeping Xiao Fan to Tianchi. Meanwhile, Yan Ling struggled with memories of Xiao Fan, Mo Shang prepared to act in the Central Plains, and Xiao Yan and Yao Lao learned of Xiao Fan’s plan inside the Hall of Souls.

• The Chaos Flame clashed with the imperial weapon, which acknowledged Xiao Fan’s identity as the Moon God Envoy before Granny sent him through a Spatial Rift to Tianchi.
• Tianchi noticed that Xiao Fan’s Moon God Mark had grown stronger and used a whirlpool to sink him to the bottom of the lake.
• Yan Ling could not focus on cultivating because she kept thinking of Xiao Fan, so she used the Frost Sword to calm herself and became encased in ice.
• Mo Shang resolved to quickly settle matters in the Central Plains while Hall of Souls experts gathered outside under their leaders’ command.
• A Soul Form told Xiao Yan and Yao Lao about Xiao Fan’s activities in the Hall of Souls, and Yao Lao verified the account by examining his memories.
• Xiao Yan and Yao Lao realized Xiao Fan had been directing the Hall of Souls’ recent movements from within its ranks.
