Chapter Summaries

Ye Han concealed himself from Black Water Sect patrols after bringing Fairy Jade Orchid into the Purple Cauldron Space. Red Dragon Girl tightened security around Skyward City as pressure mounted over her stalled campaign, while Fairy Jade Orchid’s Earth God Reversal Formation began slowly transforming Ye Han’s fertile soil.

• Ye Han drew Fairy Jade Orchid into the Purple Cauldron Space, erased their traces, and hid inside a tree using the Life-Giving Wood Spirit Art.
• More than twenty Black Water Sect disciples arrived and searched the area for intruders while Red Dragon Girl swept the surroundings with her spiritual sense.
• Red Dragon Girl ordered stricter patrols, then returned to the Flying Boat, frustrated by her failure to take Skyward City and worried about Ye Han’s unknown plans.
• Ye Han remained hidden as the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples continued searching.
• Ye Han inspected the Purple Cauldron Space, where Fairy Jade Orchid had built an Earth God Reversal Formation to gradually turn his bright-spirit fertile soil into bright-spirit divine soil.

Fairy Jade Orchid completed the Earth God Reversal Formation, restoring the Purple Cauldron Space’s spiritual energy and improving its growth and cultivation potential. After four days, she found a one-time opening in the Black Water Sect Flying Boat’s defenses and prepared to explain how Ye Han could exploit it.

• Fairy Jade Orchid modified the Earth God Reversal Formation, more than tripling the Purple Cauldron Space’s spiritual energy and helping its bright-spirit soil and Heavenly Treasures develop.
• Ye Han saw that the revived Pill Immortal Grass could now grow and that Fairy Jade Orchid had transformed the space’s gardens and buildings, but he decided the Purple Cauldron was too dangerous to expose lightly.
• Fairy Jade Orchid studied the formations protecting the Black Water Sect’s Flying Boat while Ye Han stayed hidden and waited for her to find a weakness.
• After four days, Fairy Jade Orchid told Ye Han she had found a way through the formation and warned him that the opening would appear only once.
• Ye Han promised to be careful as Fairy Jade Orchid prepared to explain how he could break through.

Ye Han prepared to break the Black Water Sect's powerful formation restriction using Fairy Jade Orchid's formation method, while taking precautions to avoid escalating the sect war. As he began laying a formation near a Formation Pillar, cultivators arrived from all directions.

• Ye Han told Fairy Jade Orchid to rest rather than risk injury, and reflected on her extraordinary formation skill and weak combat abilities.
• Fairy Jade Orchid gave Ye Han a method to break the Black Water Sect's restriction by using another formation.
• Ye Han considered the wider sect war, the outside forces stirring it up, and the suffering of Heavenly Billows' mortals as he chose to bring the conflict to an end quickly.
• Ye Han spent more than six hours preparing the surrounding area before beginning his plan at a Formation Pillar.
• Ye Han sent out twelve golden Formation Flags and began laying a formation, but escape lights suddenly approached from every direction.

Ye Han used Fairy Jade Orchid’s formation-breaking method to infiltrate the Black Water Sect’s barrier while Metal Puppets distracted its cultivators. He slipped inside, captured an approaching elder, and escaped through the trees; Red Dragon Girl arrived and recognized the remaining puppet as possibly belonging to Ye Han.

• Ye Han sent golden Formation Flags into the Black Water Sect’s barrier while three Metal Puppets attacked it elsewhere to distract the cultivators and Formation Master.
• An old Black Water Sect elder arrived and tried to send a Messaging Talisman, so Ye Han opened a gap in the barrier and entered.
• Ye Han pulled the elder and his talismans into a Purple Runes Vortex, then fled through the trees using Wood Escape.
• Red Dragon Girl investigated the disturbance, found the Metal Puppets under attack, and bound the last one with a blood-red chain.
• Red Dragon Girl suspected the puppet belonged to Ye Han, and it began releasing a savage force.

Red Dragon Girl and the Black Water Sect disciples found that Ye Han’s Metal Puppets had self-destructed, then searched for him. Ye Han watched from hiding as the old Black Water Sect formation master he had captured remained imprisoned in the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Pagoda inside the Purple Cauldron Space.

• Red Dragon Girl restrained one Metal Puppet, but all three puppets self-destructed and destroyed their bodies before the Black Water Sect could examine them.
• Red Dragon Girl searched for Ye Han, while the disciples claimed they had seen the puppets attacking the restrictions but had not seen him.
• Red Dragon Girl suspected a distraction and hurried toward the place where she had first sensed the disturbance, followed by the disciples.
• Ye Han stayed hidden in a cliff crevice and observed the captured Black Water Sect old man bound and unconscious inside the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Pagoda.
• Ye Han’s Spirit Gathering Array and two golden cores powered the pagoda, which he had prepared to trap cultivators brought into the Purple Cauldron Space.

Ye Han prepared the Purple Cauldron Space to capture Black Water Sect cultivators and seize their flying boats, then activated a formation outside the sect's barrier. Black Water Sect disciples and Red Dragon Girl rushed toward the lights, where sword attacks suddenly struck from within the mist.

• Ye Han decided to capture Black Water Sect cultivators and seize their flying boats rather than kill them and provoke a war.
• Ye Han raised stone pillars and formed a protective curtain inside the Purple Cauldron Space so the captured flying boats would not damage its contents.
• Ye Han gave Fairy Jade Orchid the formation books he had taken from a Black Water Sect formation master.
• Ye Han activated twenty-one beams of light outside the Black Water Sect's restriction formation, drawing in spiritual energy and alarming the sect's disciples.
• Red Dragon Girl sensed danger and led the Black Water Sect cultivators toward the beams, where sword light shot out of the mist at them.

Red Dragon Girl recognized that the Azure Profound Sect had trapped the Black Water Sect position with a Sword Formation and another barrier, and she hurried toward the cliffs, fearing an attack by Spirit Cannons. Meanwhile, an infiltrator disguised as a Black Water Sect disciple lured two guards away and attacked them.

• Red Dragon Girl blocked the Azure Profound Sect's sword-rays and warned the Black Water Sect disciples that they were under attack from a Sword Formation.
• Red Dragon Girl ordered the disciples to break the formation and flew toward the cliffs, suspecting the Azure Profound Sect planned to fire Spirit Cannons from the ravines.
• Black Water Sect disciples left their Flying Boats to reinforce the position as explosions continued nearby.

• Ye Han summoned metal puppets and opened a huge Purple Runes Vortex in front of the Black Water Sect flying boat.
• More than a hundred puppets lifted the flying boat and pushed it into the vortex while the remaining Black Water Sect disciples watched and protested without attacking.

When the third boat arrived with more Black Water Sect disciples aboard, they flew toward the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, unaware Ye Han was controlling events.

• A Black Water Sect disciple attacked Ye Han, who shattered his broom treasure and dragged him into the spatial rift with the Ghost Skull Mirror.

• Purple runes dragged one disciple into the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, and the others flew toward it, unknowingly following Ye Han’s plan.

• Red Dragon Girl angrily ordered the disciples to pursue Ye Han and flew after him.

• Ye Han used Thunder Escape Technique again to evade Red Dragon Girl's skull-shaped magic treasure, leaving her shocked that a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could move so quickly and repeatedly.

Red Dragon Girl pursued Ye Han with her Skull Head treasure, but he escaped with repeated uses of the Thunder Escape Technique. She tracked him through space with a Bronze Mirror and sealed his spell power, leaving him trapped.

• Red Dragon Girl split her Skull Head treasure into eight skulls and sent them after Ye Han, but he dodged their attacks.
• Ye Han used the Thunder Escape Technique repeatedly to flee beyond Red Dragon Girl’s divine sense range.
• Red Dragon Girl activated a demonic cultivation technique and used a Bronze Mirror to locate Ye Han in a forest.
• Ye Han sensed the Bronze Mirror emerging through a spatial vortex and prepared to escape, but its runic barrier sealed his spell power.

• A powerful divine sense locked onto Red Dragon Girl, and an Azure Profound Sect voice warned her for hunting its true disciple.
