Ye Han met White Jade, a Half-Step True Immortal Demoness Cultivator who had followed him and wanted to cooperate using his Insect-Driving Art. She revealed that she knew how to enter the sealed Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Tomb, and they agreed to discuss the plan there.

White Jade brought Ye Han to the tomb’s restricted area, where they saw a swarm of strange insects pursuing two Demon Race cultivators.

• Ye Han realized why White Jade had brought him there to cooperate.

Ye Han and White Jade observed the esophagus insects guarding the formation barrier to the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Tomb and considered how to get past them without helping other cultivators. After testing the insects and studying their behavior, Ye Han devised a possible way to use the Insect-Driving Art to control them.

• White Jade watched as esophagus insects chased two Demon Race cultivators away from the formation barrier.
• Ye Han recognized the insects and learned from his observations that they devoured spells and laws, grew stronger by consuming one another, and were too numerous to defeat by force.

• Ye Han considered using the Feifei Insect but worried that doing so would expose his secret and push it to its limit.
• Ye Han settled on a workable method for using the Insect-Driving Art to control the sentient esophagus insects.

• More than two hours later, White Jade joined Ye Han in an Abyss Valley Mountain Cave as he tried to control an Esophagus Insect with the Insect-Driving Art.
• Ye Han released his divine soul aura, and the Esophagus Insect shuddered and fell to the ground as White Jade asked whether the attempt had succeeded.

Ye Han controlled a hundred thousand Esophagus Insects by using their appetite for Bloodthirsty Immortal Insect eggs, then joined Bai Yu to sneak through the swarm. They gathered Myriad-Spirit Insect Herb and reached the sealing formation, where Bai Yu revealed a token that could let them enter, just as a huge buzz sounded nearby.

• Ye Han and Bai Yu reached the sealing formation, and Ye Han warned that breaking through could attract the surrounding Esophagus Insects and their Half-Step True Immortal Queen.
• Bai Yu showed Ye Han a restriction token that could let them enter, but an astonishing buzzing sound suddenly came from far away.

The pair raced toward the tomb as the creatures swarmed them, and Ye Han discovered that one could recover after being cut apart.

• The Esophagus Insect Queen attacked as Ye Han and Bai Yu entered the formation barrier, but the barrier severed its tentacle and expelled the two into the protected space.

Ye Han and White Jade entered the bone-filled depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Tomb, where White Jade revealed her power and spoke of an Undying Divine Stone that could help Ye Han advance. Before she could explain the favor she wanted in exchange, a tremendous disturbance and a towering gray-light pillar appeared ahead, stirring the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.

• White Jade said she had entered the tomb out of curiosity and hurried ahead while Ye Han remained wary of her motives.

• White Jade and Ye Han stopped when they recognized danger in the rune-covered skeletal pillars, and the surrounding demon aura surged as the Undying Demon Bones fled.
• The ancient pillars rose and joined together, forming an immense skeletal monstrosity.

• Bai Yu struck the Two-Headed Skeleton Giant Dragon three times with her fly-whisk treasure, shattering its body and purifying the powers that sustained it.

• Bai Yu drank Immortal Spirit Liquid and gave Ye Han three bottles, which he recognized as a rare, fast-acting way to restore spell power.

• Ye Han followed the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s response to a sensed treasure, while Bai Yu tracked the aura of the nine-tailed figure.
• Ye Han and Bai Yu reached a cavern blocked by an enormous skeletal Demon Beast skull, then heard rustling from its dark eye sockets.
