Recaps

Ren Ye and his companions were detained by Myriad Phenomena Sect Taoists in the Gutan Sect Secret Realm, where they learned that the sect believed their Route Passes had been stolen. Zhang Linghuo decided the newcomers should be killed to reclaim the passes, while several figures teleported into Gutan City and headed toward Tannan.

• Ren Ye and his four companions were surrounded at the forest entrance and escorted into an underground chamber by Myriad Phenomena Sect Taoists.
• Ren Ye found that his Route Pass was bound to him inside the Secret Realm and could no longer be stored in his Consciousness Space.
• Ren Ye met Yang Kaizhi and learned that both groups had bought their passes from the same deceptive Taoist at a market.
• Zhang Linghuo learned that nineteen Route Passes had gone missing and suspected the newcomers were spies planted by the Chaos Faction.
• Zhang Linghuo ordered the Taoists to kill the nine detained newcomers and reclaim their Route Passes.
• Several figures teleported into Gutan City, made inquiries, and headed toward Tannan.

Ren Ye intervened when Zhang Linghuo tried to have Brother Chun imprisoned and executed, then claimed he had powerful backing as the Myriad Phenomena Sect prepared to fight. Outside the sect, six New Year's Watchers arrived to visit its Director.

• Brother Chun explained that he and Ren Ye’s group had bought their Route Passes and offered to prove their loyalty, but Zhang Linghuo ordered him taken away for interrogation.
• When Brother Chun resisted, Zhang Linghuo’s Taoists bound him with Binding Spirit Ropes and struck at him with his fly-whisk; Ren Ye cut the ropes and stood between them.
• Ren Ye challenged Zhang Linghuo’s tyrannical actions and said he had powerful backing, prompting Zhang Linghuo to order the sect’s disciples and Super Grade elders to form up.
• Outside the Myriad Phenomena Sect, six middle-aged men in black robes identified themselves as the Migration Land’s New Year’s Watchers, and a Taoist acolyte hurried to notify the Director.

Ren Ye was immobilized by Myriad Phenomena Sect Daoists and attacked with a vengeful ghost, but Ai Fei sent Nether Mountain Ghost Child Xu to swallow it. Meanwhile, Vice Minister Wen confronted Director Liu over the six New Year's Watchers disciples and warned that mistreatment would bring the five Fifth Grade men with him into the secret realm.

• Six Fourth Grade Daoists joined forces to immobilize Ren Ye, and Zhang Linghuo summoned a vengeful ghost to possess and interrogate him.
• Ai Fei sent Nether Mountain Ghost Child Xu into Ren Ye, where Xu swallowed the vengeful ghost and defied Zhang Linghuo.
• Vice Minister Wen told Director Liu that the six New Year's Watchers disciples had no involvement in the Route Pass affair or any plot with Chaos.
• Wen warned that the disciples must not be treated unfairly and said his group would enter the secret realm if the misunderstanding worsened.
• The five black-robed men released their Star Source Power, and Director Liu realized they were all Fifth Grade experts.

Vice Minister Wen’s backing forced the Myriad Phenomena Sect to rein in Zhang Linghuo, and Ren Ye turned the confrontation into a chance to demand compensation. As Wang Changfeng prepared to divine at the Seven-Star Altar, more players entered the Gutan Sect’s Secret Realm.

• Vice Minister Wen confronted Director Liu at the Myriad Phenomena Sect, then Director Liu ordered a messenger to warn Zhang Linghuo not to harm the New Year's Watchers.
• Zhang Linghuo’s talisman injured Divine Baby while Ren Ye and his companions were immobilized, but Wang Changfeng arrived and ordered Zhang to withdraw his power.
• Ren Ye had Divine Baby howl at Zhang Linghuo, slapped him down, then pretended to be gravely injured to pressure the sect for compensation.
• Wang Changfeng explained that Ren Ye was the Gatekeeper’s disciple and ordered Zhang Linghuo to apologize with a gift; Zhang sent Ren Ye three Soul-Nourishing Pills.
• Brother Chun and his companions pledged to follow Ren Ye, who learned Daoist Chu still had several Route Passes on Seven Peaks Mountain.
• Wang Changfeng began preparing to divine at the Seven-Star Altar as three more players entered the Gutan Sect’s Secret Realm.

Ren Ye and his companions learned that the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s daily altar blessing had produced a powerful weapon, but it was still insufficient to attack the Gutan Sect. The next morning, Wang Changfeng revealed that the defending side’s hidden victory condition was capturing fifty-one attackers and warned Ren Ye that rescuing Ming Quan’s team would require following orders.

• Tang Feng and Apu learned that Wang Changfeng’s Seven-Star Altar ritual could grant the attacking side useful items, but the day’s blessing was a Super Grade Thunderclap Bow and three arrows.
• Wang Changfeng called off the attack because the blessing could not break through the Gutan Sect’s Three-Route Grand Formation, and Ren Ye’s group returned to rest.
• The next morning, Ren Ye asked Wang Changfeng whether he had seen Ming Quan’s six-person team, and Wang Changfeng said he did not know them.
• Wang Changfeng revealed that the defending side won by capturing fifty-one attackers and said Ming Quan’s team was more likely captured than killed.
• Wang Changfeng advised Ren Ye to obey orders and avoid causing trouble if he wanted to rescue the missing team.

Ren Ye and his companions joined the Celestial Fire Squad and prepared for Gutan Village’s daytime treasure hunt, where explorers had to work alone under strange rules. After Zhang Linghuo distributed incomplete maps, Ren Ye and Tang Feng recognized their layout, while the Chaos Faction also gathered to enter the village.

• Wang Changfeng told Ren Ye that the Myriad Phenomena Sect needed to work with him to complete the secret realm mission and rescue their captured friends, and explained that twenty-one people were being held captive.
• Wang Changfeng assigned Ren Ye and his four companions to Zhang Linghuo’s Celestial Fire Squad, which ranked first among the three squads in merit points.
• Ren Ye and his friends returned to the hall and chatted with Brother Chun and newly arrived independent supernatural ability users while waiting for the treasure hunt.
• Zhang Linghuo distributed incomplete maps of Gutan Village and warned everyone to study them before entering.
• Ren Ye and Tang Feng recognized the map’s layout, and the Chaos Faction assembled inside the Gutan Sect to enter the village.

Ren Ye entered the mist-shrouded Gutan Village, where the rules made travelers nearly blind and exposed their auras to hidden hunters. After finding Granny Wang’s tailor shop and agreeing to try on a robe, he was trapped as it shrank around him, while Zhang Linghuo arrived elsewhere in the village.

• Ding Hun persuaded Cao Yufei to have Dark Fire Squad ambush a Supernatural Ability User carrying a blue robe at Three Origin Medical Hall.
• Ren Ye and his teammates entered the village, and Zhang Linghuo warned them that teleportation scattered them and that they should avoid unnecessary fights.
• The Star Gate revealed that resentment miasma limited sight and perception while amplifying the auras of Supernatural Ability Users.
• Ren Ye used the map to locate Yin's Pawnshop and then entered Granny Wang's tailor shop, where she asked him to try on a blue robe made for her grandson.
• The robe began crushing Ren Ye as it shrank, and Granny Wang revealed that she had gone blind after weaving it and threatened to make a human-skin robe from him.
• Zhang Linghuo stood alone in the mist and vowed to make Ren Ye return the three Soul-Nourishing Pills.

Ren Ye escaped Granny Wang’s shrinking robe and convinced her to commission him to find her grandson, beginning an S-Rank mission. Meanwhile, a shifty-eyed middle-aged man laid a powder trap on a road into the upper-right exploration zone, as Ding Hun approached the same area.

• Ren Ye summoned the Night Walker from his consciousness space, and the silver hand and Night Walker tore the shrinking robe apart so he could escape.
• Ren Ye returned to Granny Wang’s shop, then persuaded her to let him bring her grandson back to try on the robe.
• Ren Ye received an S-Rank mission to find Granny Wang’s grandson and set out for the Three Origin Medical Hall.
• A shifty-eyed middle-aged man spread colorless powder across a road into the upper-right exploration zone and waited on a rooftop for travelers.
• Ding Hun entered from the outskirts and headed alone toward the upper-right exploration zone.

Ren Ye learned that Daoist Chu had entered the secret realm for reasons beyond profit and followed the trail of his yin object through Gutan Village. Meanwhile, Daoist Chu ambushed a Darkfire Squad woman, but after briefly leaving the room, he returned to find her gone.

• Ren Ye discovered that task items could not be stored in his consciousness space, then learned from Divine Baby that Daoist Chu’s yin object had left a trace nearby and in the Bunker.
• Daoist Chu examined tracking powder made from ground bones and followed a set of small footprints to a house where he suspected a woman was hiding.
• Daoist Chu used his White Jade Staff to knock out the Darkfire Squad woman and searched her for treasures.
• Daoist Chu sensed a yin presence, found a Ghost Child statue in a downstairs shrine, and tied it to his bag after discovering he could not store it.
• Daoist Chu returned upstairs and found that the unconscious woman had vanished.

Ren Ye stole a woman and two mission treasures, then arranged for Daoist Chu to secretly support him at the Three Origin Medical Hall. There, Zhang Linghuo encountered the Defending Side’s Ding Hun, who effortlessly caught and shattered his sword.

• Divine Baby confronted Daoist Chu with Ren Ye’s ultimatum, and Daoist Chu agreed to cooperate and handed over three sleep-inducing pills.
• Ren Ye took two talismans from the unconscious woman, hid her in a cabinet, and told Daoist Chu to follow him to the Three Origin Medical Hall and protect him.
• Zhang Linghuo arrived at the Three Origin Medical Hall with a bamboo basket of poisonous creatures and entered the corridor where the Gutan Sect disciples were recovering.
• Zhang Linghuo recognized Ding Hun as a Defending Side Supernatural Ability User and attacked him with his Third-Grade Dharma Treasure sword.
• Ding Hun caught Zhang Linghuo’s blade between two fingers and broke it into more than a dozen pieces.

Ding Hun defeated Zhang Linghuo and six Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples at the Three Origin Medical Hall without using mystical abilities. As Zhang Linghuo and the others flashed their star source power to warn their sectmates, Ren Ye realized the fight was a trap and stopped approaching.

• Ding Hun shattered Zhang Linghuo’s sword and struck him down, but Zhang Linghuo unleashed his full aura and attacked with his Myriad Phenomena Sword Art.
• The miasma amplified Zhang Linghuo’s aura, alerting people across Gutan Village; Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples rushed toward the Three Origin Medical Hall while Ren Ye sent Daoist Chu to scout it.
• Ding Hun defeated six arriving disciples and left Zhang Linghuo gravely injured, then returned Zhang Linghuo’s fly-whisk and beckoned him to fight again.
• Zhang Linghuo admitted he could not defeat Ding Hun and suspected Chaos Faction Supernatural Ability Users were luring his fellow disciples into a trap.
• Zhang Linghuo urged the six disciples to flash their star source power as a warning, and Ren Ye realized the signal meant they should not approach the medical hall.

Ren Ye discovered that Zhang Linghuo and six disciples had been trapped by the Defending Side’s formation at the Three Origin Medical Hall, but chose to try to rescue them. After silently killing an enemy Player, Ren Ye watched Brother Dog devour the man’s Guide, Scabbard, and learned that Guides could grow stronger by consuming one another.

• Ren Ye realized Zhang Linghuo’s flickering aura was a warning and suspected the Defending Side was capturing the disciples rather than killing them.
• Ding Hun used a Compass to incapacitate Zhang Linghuo and six disciples, then activated a Grand Formation built from more than two hundred Formation Flags.
• Ren Ye found the Grand Formation sealing the area and decided to approach the Three Origin Medical Hall to investigate and try to save the captives.
• Ren Ye and Divine Baby encountered a black-robed Player, whose mind Divine Baby disrupted, allowing Ren Ye to kill him without using a Mystical Ability.
• A remnant soul emerged from the dead Player’s gourd, and Brother Dog swallowed him before a notification identified him as the Second Rank Guide Scabbard.
• Ren Ye realized that a Guide could gain strength by devouring another Guide.

Ren Ye attacked the Three Origin Medical Hall to rescue Zhang Linghuo and the other captives, but his opening strike only destroyed the Jade-Faced Young Master's Substitute-Death Natal Gu. Surrounded by hidden Darkfire Squad fighters as reinforcements converged, Ren Ye prepared to stake his life in the battle.

• Ren Ye learned that Song Yi had increased his cultivation by devouring an enemy Guide and resolved to oppose the Chaos Faction's slaughter.
• Ding Hun signaled the Darkfire Squad to search the Space-Locking Grand Formation, while Yin Souls and Spirit Beasts helped locate hidden Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples.
• Divine Baby told Ren Ye that Zhang Linghuo and six others were unconscious in the Three Origin Medical Hall, guarded by four black-clad people, and Ren Ye planned an attack.
• Ren Ye ambushed the Jade-Faced Young Master with the Human Emperor Sword, but his strike cut down the man's Substitute-Death Natal Gu instead of killing him.
• The Jade-Faced Young Master and four hidden sentries surrounded Ren Ye and called for reinforcements, while the Myriad Phenomena Sect squads and Ding Hun rushed toward the medical hall.
• Daoist Chu sensed a response from his Token near the formation, and Ding Hun recognized the power of Ren Ye's sword strike and wondered whether a Super Grade or the Myriad Phenomena Sect's commander had arrived.

Ren Ye fought Ding Hun in the Three Origin Medical Hall, where Ding Hun challenged him to a duel and proved nearly impervious to his sword. As their battle escalated and Ren Ye prepared to use the Human Emperor Seal, allies rushed toward the trap and the old man intervened, prompting Ding Hun to threaten anyone who interfered.

• Ding Hun observed Ren Ye holding off eight opponents, then appeared in time to block Ren Ye’s sword strike against the Jade-Faced Young Master.
• Ding Hun suppressed his strength to Third Grade and challenged Ren Ye to a fair fight, while Ren Ye accepted and declared that Ding Hun would lose and the Gutan Sect would fall.
• Tang Feng, Xu Qingzhao, Dragon Head, and Apu moved toward the formation, and Xu Qingzhao and Dragon Head killed opponents who tried to stop them.
• Ren Ye and Ding Hun exchanged hundreds of blows until Ren Ye pierced Ding Hun beneath the armpit but took a heavy punch that nearly shattered his bones.
• Ding Hun charged again as Ren Ye activated the Human Emperor Seal, Divine Baby awakened Zhang Linghuo, and an old man entered the formation and offered to intervene.
• Ding Hun froze and warned that he would kill anyone who interfered in his fight with Ren Ye.

Ren Ye used the Divine Light Enlightenment Pill and the Nine-Curve Azure Cloud Bamboo to suppress Ding Hun, while seven super grade experts tried to kill him. Daoist Chu intervened, and Ren Ye and Chu faced the elders together with no way out.

• Ding Hun unleashed his awakened bloodline and ten thousand killing arts against Ren Ye, who used the Human Emperor Seal to block the attack.
• Ren Ye entered a state of understanding, and the Nine-Curve Azure Cloud Bamboo grew and descended to bind Ding Hun beneath its roots.
• The Gloomy Old Man and six other super grade experts launched a joint sneak attack on Ren Ye, but Ding Hun angrily told them to stay out of his fight.
• Daoist Chu struck at the seven elders with the Human World's Righteous Path Staff, giving Ren Ye time to escape their attack.
• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu confronted the seven elders, accepting that they had no way out and resolving to fight to the death.

Ren Ye and Daoist Chu were trapped at the Three Origin Medical Hall and fought a force of Wall-Facing People while Xu Qingzhao's group hunted their hidden commander. After Wang Changfeng learned the young Human Emperor was in danger, he ordered the Myriad Phenomena Sect to charge toward the formation, leaving the battle poised to escalate.

• Seven Super Grade elders and more than twenty third-grade peak fighters surrounded Ren Ye and Daoist Chu, and the two fought back while trying to stay together.
• Ren Ye signaled Ai Fei and the others not to enter the formation, so Xu Qingzhao gathered Dragon Head, Tang Feng, and Apu to search for the enemy commander outside it.
• Xu Qingzhao's group attacked Cao Yufei near the ancient pool, pierced his chest, and prompted him to scream for help.
• Wang Changfeng saw Route Passes appear as Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples died, then sensed the battle and recognized Ren Ye as the young Human Emperor.
• Wang Changfeng raised an Aura Greatsword to point toward the Three Origin Medical Hall, and Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples charged toward the formation.

Ren Ye was on the verge of being captured and killed when he used the Human Emperor Seal to downgrade the Three Origin Academy’s inner courtyard, turning the tide against the Super Grades. He killed the Gloomy Old Man and Kui Shan, while the remaining enemies scattered and Daoist Chu asked Ren Ye to lend him his destiny.

• Mao Shan took control of the grand formation and used its power to free Ding Hun from the Nine-Curve Azure Cloud Bamboo, but Ding Hun refused to join the attack on Ren Ye and flew away after denouncing the seven elders.
• Tang Feng, Dragon Head, and Apu fought two Super Grades while Xu Qingzhao burned Cao Yufei with the Phoenix Fire Furnace and demanded that he order the formation withdrawn.
• Wang Changfeng pressed his forces toward the grand formation as Ren Ye and Daoist Chu weakened under the Super Grades’ attacks; the Gloomy Old Man immobilized Ren Ye and pierced him with silver needles.
• Ren Ye revived the Human Emperor Seal with purple qi, downgraded the Three Origin Academy’s inner courtyard, and killed the Gloomy Old Man and Kui Shan before the effect could fade.
• The surviving elders scattered as the old fisherman vowed to kill Ren Ye, and Daoist Chu asked Ren Ye to lend him his destiny.

Ren Ye and Daoist Chu used Ren Ye’s remaining purple fortune and an ancient command token to open a gate beneath Gutan’s ancient pool, escaping their attackers as the treasure hunt ended. Their allies returned to the Bunker without them, while the Heavenly Dao’s Eye revealed that the forbidden zone beneath the pool lay beyond its influence; Ren Ye and Daoist Chu ended up unconscious on wet grass.

• Ren Ye killed two Super Grades and five Third Grade Peak opponents with the Human Emperor Sword, then exhausted his strength as the Old Fisherman and the other monsters prepared to attack.
• Daoist Chu arrived with an ancient command token and used Ren Ye’s remaining purple fortune to open a gate whose golden light pierced the formation and drew them toward the ancient pool.
• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu plunged into the pool and sank toward a strange underwater gate, while Xu Qingzhao, Dragon Head, Tang Feng, and Apu searched for them but found only miasma and sediment.
• After the treasure hunt ended, Xu Qingzhao and her companions returned to the Bunker without Ren Ye or Daoist Chu; Wang Changfeng said the pool might conceal a forbidden cultivation ground, and Xu Qingzhao vowed to search it the next day.
• The Heavenly Dao’s Eye looked toward the pool but could not influence the Ancestor’s Forbidden Zone, where Ren Ye and Daoist Chu lay unconscious on wet grass.

Ren Ye and Daoist Chu discovered that the shattered ancestral token had trapped them in the Gutan Sect’s ancestral grounds, a place they believed might lie beyond the Heavenly Dao’s jurisdiction. While Cao Yufei ordered reinforcements to search for them, Xu Qingzhao persuaded Wang Changfeng to seek outside help, and Vice Minister Wen slipped away after meeting with the Myriad Phenomena Sect experts.

• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu woke badly injured in a living paradise beneath the pool and learned that the ancestral token had shattered, leaving them unable to open the gate.
• Ren Ye ambushed Daoist Chu and forced him to admit that he had deliberately lured Ren Ye into the Gutan Sect’s ancestral grounds to seek its hidden supreme treasure.
• Daoist Chu explained that the grounds might be outside the Heavenly Dao’s jurisdiction, and Ren Ye feared they had escaped the mission realm with no way back.
• Cao Yufei told the gathered Defending Side leaders to stop arguing and ordered Mao Shan Old Freak to take route passes to Lord Man and bring reinforcements to the Gutan Sect.
• Xu Qingzhao persuaded Wang Changfeng to leave for reinforcements by promising that she and Ren Ye would not take the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s opportunities.
• Wang Changfeng returned that night with Myriad Phenomena Sect experts, met with them at an inn, and Vice Minister Wen later left alone into the night.

Lin Xiang organized a New Year's Watchers' mission to rescue Ren Ye from the Gutan Sect Secret Realm and ordered Zhao Baicheng to find the forbidden ground and the Wall-Facing People's Divine Inheritor. Trapped beneath Gutan Pool, Ren Ye and Daoist Chu struggled through the ancestral grounds until Daoist Chu spotted a coffin that Ren Ye could not see.

• Ruan Yin proposed using Route Passes to send New Year's Watchers into the Gutan Sect Secret Realm, including feng shui masters to locate a safe way into the forbidden ground.
• Lin Xiang ordered eight Fourth Grades to enter Gutan City with Vice Minister Wen, told Vice Minister Qin to prepare underwater magic treasures, and tasked Wen with investigating the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
• Lin Xiang told Zhao Baicheng to find the Little Dragon Vein Celestial Master and search for the forbidden-ground entrance, while the Academy secretly sought the Wall-Facing People's Divine Inheritor.
• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu, exhausted from their battle, wandered through the ancestral grounds and stopped to rest.
• Daoist Chu saw a coffin in a black, withered tree and hurried toward it, while Ren Ye saw only the tree and warned him not to touch anything.

Ren Ye and Daoist Chu reached the Heaven-Reaching Residence after discovering that someone had stripped treasures from the ancestral land’s other graves. Inside, they found the Gutan Sect’s founding ancestor in a jade coffin assembled with those missing treasures, and a crack sounded from within as they wondered whether he could awaken.

• Daoist Chu broke open the Hidden Sea Dragon Cypress and found a corpse that crumbled to dust, while Ren Ye realized the tree’s vitality had been extracted long ago.
• After opening more than a dozen graves, Daoist Chu noticed that each had lost its most important treasure, and he and Ren Ye suspected someone had gathered them elsewhere.
• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu climbed to the Heaven-Reaching Residence, entered its open tomb, and found tally marks and rare plants along the passage.
• In the main chamber, Daoist Chu identified the vines and luminous pearl on the jade coffin as treasures taken from other graves and assembled around the body inside.
• Ren Ye warned Daoist Chu that the founding ancestor might have risen to collect the treasures, and a crack suddenly sounded from inside the coffin.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect and the New Year's Watchers prepared to enter the Gutan Sect Secret Realm while the Wall-Facing People gathered to destroy the anomaly beneath the ancient pool. In the ancestral grounds, Daoist Chu opened the jade coffin and found a well-preserved man holding a wooden puppet, while an old man arrived outside Qingshan.

• Vice Minister Wen brought Lü Ji and eight young Supernatural Ability Users to meet Wang Changfeng, and Lü Ji agreed to help find the gate of life beneath the ancient pool.
• Mao Shan told Cao Yufei that Lord Man planned to come to Gutan City, and the Wall-Facing People prepared to gather at the ancient pool and smash the gate of life.
• Cao Yufei told Ding Hun that Tan had lost to the young Human Emperor through strategy and urged him not to reject his allies.
• Xu Qingyan wondered why Ren Ye had not returned to class, and said he would stop teaching in Gutan City after teaching him.
• Daoist Chu opened the jade coffin despite Ren Ye's warnings and found a well-preserved middle-aged man holding a wooden puppet.
• An old man sniffed the flowers and grass outside Qingshan, looked toward the Heaven-Reaching Residence, and walked away.

Ren Ye and Daoist Chu investigated the mysterious corpse in the Heaven-Reaching Residence, where Daoist Chu stripped it of treasures and accidentally activated a mechanism. After Ren Ye found life-giving fruit, Daoist Chu encountered the Old Fisherman and three allies outside, while other cultivators began leaving the Gutan Sect Secret Realm.

• Ren Ye and Daoist Chu suspected the corpse was an outsider trapped in the Heaven-Reaching Residence, though they could not explain how he had entered or where the Gutan Sect's Ancestor had gone.
• Daoist Chu stripped the corpse of its treasures and tried to move the jade coffin, triggering a mechanism that shut the entrance's stone doors; Ren Ye reopened them, and Daoist Chu went out to hunt and find timber.
• Ren Ye covered the corpse, ate three crimson fruits, and recovered some star source power as the fruit's life aura nourished his Star Core.
• The Old Fisherman and three companions ambushed Daoist Chu and demanded that he lead them to the Heaven-Reaching Residence, but Daoist Chu attacked and shouted for Ren Ye to run.
• Wang Changfeng sent Lü Ji, Xu Qingzhao, and the other Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples through the Teleportation Array, while Cao Yufei and the other Super Grade Supernatural Ability Users also left for the North Bank of the Ancient Pool.

Lü Ji used feng shui to locate the tomb beneath the pool, while Ren Ye fled Old Fisherman and three other Super Grades through the ancestral land. As Ren Ye’s pursuers closed in and his strength dwindled, Cao Yufei led the Defending Side into battle at the pool.

• Lü Ji descended alone into the pool, read the underwater currents and terrain, and found the sealed entrance to a great tomb.
• Lü Ji sensed Ren Ye’s aura flowing from the forbidden ground and signaled the others to wait while he examined the tomb entrance.
• Ren Ye tried to escape Old Fisherman and three Super Grades, but the tomb’s formation blocked his Ground-Shrinking Talisman until he reached the passage exit.
• Daoist Chu distracted the pursuers with a warning, allowing Ren Ye to teleport away, but Old Fisherman and the others tracked him and continued their pursuit.
• Ren Ye used more than a dozen talismans to flee, suffering severe injuries as the four Super Grades repeatedly attacked him.
• Cao Yufei judged that Ren Ye was near defeat and ordered the Defending Side to drive the Attacking Side from the eastern shore before jumping into the pool.

Ren Ye escaped the four Fourth Grade pursuers and began planning a decisive way out of his predicament. Meanwhile, Lü Ji used his Dragon Vein Celestial Master abilities to trap and kill an advance party from Cao Yufei’s force, leaving the larger force facing his feng shui killing trap.

• Ren Ye ambushed the Old Fisherman and the other three with the Human Emperor Seal and Human Emperor Sword, then escaped while they carried Daoist Chu away.
• The Old Fisherman decided the four would stay together and wait at the Heaven-Reaching Residence, threatening to torture Daoist Chu to lure Ren Ye out.
• Ren Ye rested in a forest, accepted a berry from a small bird, and resolved to make a decisive move rather than let his enemies control the pace.
• Cao Yufei led more than a hundred Supernatural Ability Users toward Divine Throne Mountain, while Lü Ji signaled Wang Changfeng’s group not to intervene.
• Lü Ji reversed the pool’s water flow and summoned the terrain’s hidden dragon, turning Divine Throne Mountain into a feng shui killing trap.
• Zhou Guang and seven others entered the trap and were crushed by falling earth energy as Lü Ji challenged the remaining Super Grades to face him.
