• Yun Qing led the concealed group to a clear mountain lake and identified it as the place harboring the vile breath.
• The Demon Court experts searched the lake and found a nearly mature nine-orifice mystic water lotus guarded by a Black-Armored Water Nian, but detected no demonic qi.

• Yun Qing deduced that the Black-Armored Water Nian had killed the original host, after which the burial breath had settled into the lotus.

Yun Qing helped the Ten Directions Demon Court uncover and destroy kanming burial breath hidden inside the nine-orifice mystic water lotus, earning the Demon Emperor’s gratitude. As Yun Qing prepared to leave and investigate a separate void passage threatening the Yun Clan, Feng Jiuxiao stopped him to address the incident involving Young Master Shuanghua and Yun Zui.

• Feng Jiuxiao stopped Yun Qing and said the Demon Court had failed in its duty despite Young Master Shuanghua and Yun Zui escaping serious harm.

Yun Qing allowed Yun Zui to accept Feng Jiuxiao’s invitation to cultivate in the Phoenix Clan, then investigated the spatial passages used by the corrupted Demon Beasts. He lured their hidden accomplice into revealing itself and captured it, but learned that the threat was tied to Lord Blood Nie.

• Feng Jiuxiao offered Yun Zui the chance to refine Phoenix Clan nirvana true marrow, and Yun Zui eagerly agreed to go into seclusion with him.

• Yun Zhenye explained that Yun Jinglei’s lively temperament let him master the Seamless Secret Art’s concealment and emergence without suffering its usual tribulation.

• With the Twelve Young Masters largely prepared for war, Yun Qing released his Dao Resonance and demanded to know what the Heavenly Demons were waiting for.

After the Nine Heavens were restored, Yun Qing visited Yun Huang in Heaven Beyond Heaven and found the Heavenly Dao celebrating wildly. His attempt to suggest that Yun Huang and the Heavenly Dao resembled a married couple offended them both, and he concluded that they merely had to coexist.

• Yun Qing compared Yun Huang and the Heavenly Dao to a married couple, and both angrily told him to be silent.
• Yun Qing decided that Yun Huang and the Heavenly Dao remained together only because they could neither break their bond nor kill each other.

• The bloody aura entered Liu Qingwu’s sea of consciousness, where he saw the Azure Lotus Sword Sect burning beneath Immortal Emperor Yuanhuang.

Liu Qingwu and Li Qingming escaped illusions conjured by an Outsider Demon and rushed to warn their master and Luo Qinglian. Meanwhile, Kanming Heavenly Burial’s corruption spread through Myriad Lotus Heaven’s Sword Pool, and Luo Qinglian sensed the crisis.

• Liu Qingwu was trapped in an illusion where Immortal Emperor Yuanhuang attacked the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and captured Luo Qinglian.
• Li Qingming awakened Liu Qingwu with a touch of her finger, untouched by the illusion because of her clear sword heart.

• Luo Qinglian noticed Myriad Lotus Heaven shaking as the spirit spring darkened and an ancient sword in the Sword Pool began to turn blood-red.

Luo Qinglian’s ancient resentment and the Sword Dao’s blood fury drove him to attack Yun Huang in Heaven Beyond Heaven, while the Heavenly Demons watched their conflict unfold. Yun Huang stopped Luo Qinglian’s strike, and Yun Qing realized the Azure Lotus Sword Sect was in danger, but Yun Huang did not know what had caused the crisis.

• Luo Qinglian’s memories of Yuan Huang and the Sword Dao’s madness turned his Azure Lotus Sword into the Red Lotus Sword, and he slashed open Myriad Lotus Heaven on his way to Heaven Beyond Heaven.

• Yun Huang said he did not know what had happened.

• Yun Qing admitted he had only guessed at the Heavenly Demons’ plan and realized Luo Qinglian’s condition meant something had happened to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

• At the Yun Clan Ancestral Grounds, the Azure Frost Sword Venerable repeatedly knocked Yun Baojian back during their sparring match.

After the Azure Lotus Sword Master was corrupted and attacked Heaven Beyond Heaven, Yun Qing and Lu Qingxiao rushed to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and uncovered a widespread demonic plot. Yun Qing’s Double Pupils helped the Sword Sect suppress the hidden sources of corruption, but Blood Nie prepared another move.

• Yun Che sent the Azure Frost Sword Venerable and Yun Clan elites to reinforce the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, while Yun Yuan mobilized elders from the Nine Heavens.
• Yun Qing met Lu Qingxiao, reassured him that the Azure Lotus Sword Master was contained, and learned that demonic corruption was spreading through the Sword Sect’s Sword Dao.

• Yun Qing directed the Sword Venerables and Sword Chiefs to uncover and seal hidden corruption in swords, disciples, Storage Rings, and even a brick, allowing affected disciples to awaken.
• Blood Nie watched the Sword Sect’s recovery and formed an eerie demonic seal.

Blood Nie triggered the hidden demonic nodes beneath the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, but reinforcements from the Yun Clan and across Heavenly Origin arrived to help suppress the attack. Blood Nie’s plan to exploit resentment against Yuan Huang failed, and he discovered that his planted agents had been captured.

• Blood Nie activated dozens of blood nodes, causing the Azure Lotus Sword Sect’s Sword Peaks to erupt and the demonic force to surge.
• Yun Yuan arrived with reinforcements from the Nine Heavens Divine Palaces, while the Azure Frost Sword Venerable, Yun Baojian, and Yun Clan elites joined the fight.

• Blood Nie expected the arriving factions to attack the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, but they instead joined the defense and attacked the demonic fiends.
• Blood Nie learned his planted agents had vanished, then used Temporal Reversal on a captured agent’s transmission to see him urge an ancient faction to rebel against Yuanhuang.

Blood Nie watched a spacetime rewind showing Heavenly Origin factions’ undercover agents urging rebellion against Yuan Huang, only for their elders to reveal how badly they had lost to him before. The agents were restrained or silenced, and Blood Nie saw that the factions had rebelled in the past but no longer wanted to fight Yuan Huang.

• An undercover agent urged a clan’s elders to unite against Yuan Huang, but they recalled his past destruction and ordered the agent tied up before he could provoke him.
• Blood Nie watched the recording and complained that the clan elders had no backbone, then switched to another location.
• At a sect, an undercover agent called for the recovery of its dignity, but the Grand Supreme Elder explained Yuan Huang’s past damage and had the agent thrown into the dungeon.
• At a spirit clan, the ancestor said Yuan Huang had beaten the clan’s fighting spirit out of them and ordered the agent dragged away.
• Blood Nie watched sixteen or seventeen similar scenes, including a Heavenly Demon agent whose words were covered up to keep Heaven Beyond Heaven from hearing them.
• Blood Nie concluded that the factions had all rebelled against Yuan Huang before, but their leaders no longer wanted to risk fighting him again.

Yun Qing helped the Azure Lotus Sword Sect purge hidden demonic burial breath, with Immortal Venerables following his double-pupiled vision to find and destroy each trace. After the crisis ended, leaders from across Heavenly Origin invited him to inspect their own factions, while Blood Nie raged at the sects for refusing to resist Yuan Huang.

• Blood Nie smashed a recording stone and cursed Heavenly Origin's factions for submitting to Yuan Huang, while the Heavenly Demons stayed silent.
• Yun Qing detected hidden tainted breath throughout the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, and the gathered Immortal Venerables sealed and purified it wherever he pointed.
• Yun Qing found contamination hidden inside a sword embryo, beneath a cultivator's shoe sole, and near Yun Yuan, who struck it apart.
• The burial breath was cleared, the pool regained its clarity, the sword intents settled, and disciples recovered from their illusions.
• Immortal Venerables offered Yun Qing eye-protecting spiritual liquid and invited him to inspect their sects, while Yun Yuan joked that they could not all be nearby.
