• Xiao Fan searched for Ding You and found her surrounded by girls in a dilapidated courtyard filled with corpses.

Xiao Fan experienced a Jiao Pearl vision of Qing Jue dying in a battle in the Spirit World, then learned to enter the vision again while limited to the body he occupied. The chapter left him searching for Saintess Ding You as the allied clans prepared to invade the Tunling Clan's territory.

• Xiao Fan possessed Qing Jue in a historical vision and was killed by a black-armored Peak Dou Zun wielding a devouring spear.
• Xiao Fan awoke in the mountain cave, suppressed his fiery energy, and concluded the Jiao Pearl's visions consumed its power.
• Xiao Fan identified the vision's rules, including that he could use only Qing Jue's abilities and strength, then sent his Soul Power into the Jiao Pearl again.
• Xiao Fan returned to Qing Jue's body and asked a girl about the battle outside and the missing Saintess Ding You.
• The girl told Xiao Fan that the Xiao Clan, Gu Clan, Soul Clan, and other major clans had won a major victory, several Dou Sheng experts had fallen, and the Allied Forces planned to invade the Tunling Clan's home territory.

Xiao Fan learned that the Spirit World’s Saintess, Ding You, had been badly injured by the Tunling Clan and was trapped in a recurring cycle that reduced her consciousness to childhood. After Ding You punished him by sending him to confinement, Xiao Fan learned more about her condition from the guards.

• Xiao Fan realized he was witnessing the ancient races’ war against the Tunling Clan and suspected the enemy who killed him belonged to that clan.
• Xiao Fan and the guards found Ding You and escorted her back to her residence after she had been caught hiding from them.
• Ding You ordered Xiao Fan confined for three days because he entered her hall with his left foot first, and the guards carried out her order.
• Two guards told Xiao Fan that the Tunling Clan had injured Ding You while she saved them, leaving her essence damaged, her dou qi depleted, and her meridians ruptured.
• The guards revealed that Ding You suffered a tearing episode every half month, causing her consciousness to revert to childhood.

Xiao Fan emerged from three days of confinement to find Ding You unconscious and the Spirit Clan guards besieged by the Tunling Clan. As the guards sacrificed themselves to protect Ding You and make an escape route, Xiao Fan rushed to intervene.

• Xiao Fan realized Ding You had repeatedly confined guards for three days while suffering recurring soul injuries, then entered confinement to learn more about the Moon God Trials.
• After his confinement ended, Xiao Fan found the Tunling Clan attacking the courtyard where Ding You lay unconscious, protected by a small group of injured Spirit Clan guards.

• When the barrier shattered, Xiao Fan revealed himself and rushed toward the guards, who told him to take Ding You and escape.
• The guards burned their souls and Dou Qi and sacrificed themselves, with several detonating or charging the enemy to clear a path to Ding You.

Xiao Fan fled with the unconscious Ding You while Spirit Clan guards sacrificed themselves to hold off the Tunling Clan, whose experts also burned their souls to attack. Cornered in the Spirit World, Xiao Fan realized that the lack of reinforcements was the key discrepancy in this trial.

• A Spirit Clan guard handed the unconscious Ding You to Xiao Fan, then charged the pursuing Tunling Clan experts while urging him to escape.

• After a guard demanded to know why reinforcements had not arrived, Xiao Fan realized that their absence was the greatest discrepancy in the Spirit World.

Xiao Fan realized that someone in the Spirit Clan might have allowed the Tunling Clan to reach the injured Saintess Ding You, while the Spirit Clan’s internal debate over her treatment had left her vulnerable. As the Tunling Clan prepared to kill her, Ding You awoke in Xiao Fan’s arms and commanded him to put her down.

• Xiao Fan concluded that the Tunling Clan’s attack on the Saintess’s Palace had likely been aided by a Spirit Clan traitor who wanted Ding You dead.

• Ding You realized her soul had been corrupted and understood that the Spirit Clan had abandoned her, but she showed no grief or anger.

• Xiao Fan watched the memory of Ding You's fall and turned to see a familiar figure behind him.
