• Fairy Xingyue blamed the Tower Masters whose interests had been affected and left the hall to confront the plotters.

Xu Zhi told Xiao Hua that Jiu Xia was likely a descendant of Qingqiu Mountain’s Nine-tailed Foxes and revealed that she had guided Xu Zhi and left him an inheritance to pass on. Xiao Hua received the inheritance, while Fairy Xingyue returned from her investigation with a report about Star Moon.

• Xu Zhi questioned Xiao Hua about Jiu Xia and explained that Nine-tailed Foxes were famed for their beauty and began their names with “Nine.”
• Xu Zhi revealed that he had received guidance from a Nine-tailed Fox before becoming an immortal and had inherited Qingqiu Mountain’s lost teachings in the Immortal Realm.
• Xu Zhi deduced that Jiu Xia had arranged for Xiao Hua to find Qingqiu Mountain’s inheritance, then gave him a lightning ball containing it and warned him to keep it secret.
• Xiao Hua wondered whether receiving the inheritance meant he would return to Xiaoyu Continent, but Xu Zhi said he could not be certain and advised him not to press Fairy Xingyue about her secrets.
• Fairy Xingyue returned after investigating and declared that she could accomplish anything within Star Moon, then rebuked Xiao Hua for speaking like Xu Zhi.

Fairy Xingyue and Xu Zhi sensed an approaching threat, so Xiao Hua secluded himself in the Star Picking Tower. Inside his space, he uncovered the Nine-tailed Fox Sculpture, suppressed its power, and used it to deepen the Hand of Cause and Effect while learning Qingqiu Mountain’s transformation arts.

• Fairy Xingyue told Xu Zhi that she could not identify the Confucian cultivator family conspiring against her, and both sensed danger approaching from the east.
• Xu Zhi sent Xiao Hua to cultivate in a quiet room until they reached the Chidi River, where he would need Xiao Hua’s magical power.
• Xiao Hua contained a ripple from Xu Zhi’s thunder sphere, then examined the sphere inside his space and triggered its hidden inheritance.
• Jade Slip Xiao Hua suppressed the Nine-tailed Fox Sculpture’s surging pillar of light and saw it shift through many forms, including Jiu Xia’s appearance.
• Jade Slip Xiao Hua joined the sculpture with the Hand of Cause and Effect, then practiced Qingqiu Mountain’s transformation arts.

Xiao Hua mastered a deeper level of transformation by merging light and shadow with his physical body while the Star Picking Tower vessel flew toward the rising sun. After Xu Zhi called him out near Chidi River, the group discussed Star Moon Palace, and Xiao Hua’s praise rekindled Fairy Xingyue’s confidence in the expedition.

• As Xiao Hua cultivated Qingqiu Mountain’s secret art, the Star Picking Tower rose from underground as a vast flying vessel and headed toward the rising sun.
• Xiao Hua’s body dissolved into light and shadow, then reformed as he realized transformation could merge the physical body with light and shadow.

• Xu Zhi teased Fairy Xingyue about handing Star Moon to Xiao Hua, but she refused to be drawn into their exchange.
• Fairy Xingyue expressed doubts about the ninth Star Moon Palace exploration, and Xiao Hua reminded her that the palace’s deepest secret was its passage to the Immortal Realm.
• Fairy Xingyue brightened at Xiao Hua’s praise and chided Xu Zhi for not saying something pleasant.

Xiao Hua witnessed the Star Moon Palace’s terrifying omen over the Chidi River, which exposed him to visions of primordial battles and devastated cultivators across the area.

• Fairy Xingyue opened the Star Picking Tower, and Xu Zhi told Xiao Hua that the Star Moon Palace’s emergence was imminent.
• Xiao Hua saw the Chidi River and watched immense spatial fluctuations sweep across the region, revealing visions of primordial chaos and battling giants.

• Xiao Hua remarked that the Star Picking Tower’s flying vessel looked unattractive.

Xiao Hua gave Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue jade slips containing his Thunder Pool knowledge, then reunited with Gongshu Yixin and Gongshu Yiming.

• Xiao Hua gave Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue jade slips with the Thunder Pool construction method and his insights into the Min Lei Bead.
• Gongshu Yixin and Gongshu Yiming arrived, and Yixin asked how Xiao Hua had reached Mahayana so quickly.
• Xiao Hua told Yixin that Wen Qu would be her master when they found him, and Fairy Xingyue questioned his identity and the cultivators from Penglai Fairyland.
• Gongshu Yixin revealed that her artifact had measured Xiao Hua as only four or five hundred years old, surprising Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue.
• Fairy Xingyue offered Yixin a jade slip for her age-testing artifact, and Xiao Hua persuaded Yixin to accept the exchange.

Xiao Hua and his companions discussed the Four Great Families’ emblems, their influence, and the possibility of the Daoist Sect rising again. As disciples of the Four Great Families approached, Xu Zhi left, and Xiao Hua sent Gongshu Yixin and Gongshu Yiming to meet them while Fairy Xingyue told them they did not need to greet the visitors.

• Fairy Xingyue praised Gongshu Yixin’s formation artifact, and Xu Zhi gave Gongshu Yiming a natural lightning object to study.

The Four Great Families’ leaders met Fairy Xingyue before Star Moon Palace appeared, while Xiao Hua discussed Xu Zhi’s feelings, cultivation, and outlook on life. As the demons’ fighting intensified and strange lights spread over the Chidi River, Star Moon Palace seemed close to appearing, leaving Xiao Hua wary of a possible trap.

• Dongfang Yushan and the other three Great Family leaders greeted Fairy Xingyue, who reminded them that Star Picking Tower and Lan Yue Palace belonged to Star Moon and laid out the order for entering Star Moon Palace.
• Nangong Pingping joked about pursuing Fairy Xingyue, but Dongfang Yushan warned him not to provoke her and repeated Senior Brother Hengsi’s warning about her power.
• Xiao Hua asked Xu Zhi whether he had a partner and suggested that Fairy Xingyue cared for him; Xu Zhi acknowledged their closeness but spoke of the consequences of past relationships.
• Xu Zhi explained that Demon Alliance members practiced many different cultivation methods, then advised Xiao Hua to let nature take its course when seeking answers.
• As fighting demons gathered along the Chidi River, Xu Zhi explained that violent starlight often preceded Star Moon Palace’s appearance, and Fairy Xingyue ordered the Star Picking Tower disciples to prepare.
• Silver lights spread across the river as Xiao Hua suspected Star Moon Palace might contain a trap, while Xu Zhi watched the space above it tensely.

Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi watched the Star Moon Palace take form above the Chidi River and prepared to enter it with Fairy Xingyue. As the factions waited for an entrance, a great demon charged into the chaotic spatial barrier, revealing a strange route through it.

• The moonlight and starlight converged above the Chidi River, forming the Star Moon Palace amid a powerful Primordial Chaos aura.
• Xiao Hua asked Xu Zhi about the palace's nature and entrance, then found that his divine sense could not penetrate its chaotic spatial barrier.
• The assembled factions prepared to enter, while Fairy Xingyue and Xu Zhi discussed the barrier's danger and Xiao Hua offered to shelter the Star Picking Tower disciples in the Kunlun Mirror.
• A great demon from the Demon Race rushed toward the Star Moon Palace before Fairy Xingyue could stop him.
• The demon passed through the barrier, and the starlight tracing his movement revealed a complex route resembling a butterfly knot.

Xiao Hua and the Star Picking Tower leaders watched the gate of Star Moon Palace emerge, only to discover that its chaotic spatial layer blocked every path inside. Fairy Xingyue tried to break through with her star shuttle, but the attempt faltered as the passage remained unreachable.

• A great demon entered the spatial layer, shrank drastically, and vanished into the Chidi River without leaving a ripple.
• Xiao Hua stored the Star Picking Tower disciples, Gongshu Yixin, Gongshu Yiming, and Mo Jianli in the Kunlun Mirror as the gate of Star Moon Palace appeared.
• Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue discovered that the gate’s countless phantoms remained trapped inside the spatial layer, leaving them unable to reach its safe passage.
• Xu Zhi explained that only the ripples from the true gate formed a safe route through the chaotic space, while the gate phantoms were false.
• When Star Moon Palace produced another wave of overlapping phantoms, Fairy Xingyue summoned a star shuttle and sent pillars of starlight into the spatial layer.
• The starlight pillars bent, broke apart, and scattered, so Fairy Xingyue called on Xu Zhi to help her try again.

Xiao Hua used the Eye of Delusion Breaking to locate the shifting palace gate phantom in the spatial interlayer, allowing Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue to open a passage with an ancient Moon Beast relic. Xu Zhi, Fairy Xingyue, and Xiao Hua entered the passage, followed by Buddhist Protectors and the Dongfang Noble House.

• Xu Zhi warned Xiao Hua and Fairy Xingyue that the Star Moon Palace gate would close within an hour, and Xiao Hua offered to locate its true phantom.
• Xu Zhi shielded Xiao Hua from onlookers while Xiao Hua used the Eye of Delusion Breaking to identify the palace gate’s changing location.
• Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue prepared to open a passage, while other demons, Confucian cultivators, and Buddhist Protectors searched the spatial interlayer.
• Xu Zhi activated an ancient Moon Beast relic with Fairy Xingyue’s help, and Xiao Hua guided the Moon Beast toward the correct gate phantom.
• Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue entered the passage, followed by Xiao Hua, as Buddhist Protectors and the Dongfang Noble House moved in after them.

Xu Zhi, Fairy Xingyue, and Xiao Hua reached the phantom palace gate as the spatial passage grew dangerous, while Ancestor Hongmeng entered behind them and recognized Xiao Hua. The Chaos Storm struck the passage, and Ancestor Hongmeng decided he would either recruit Xiao Hua and claim the Creation Sect or kill him.

• Ancestor Hongmeng broke Dongfang Yushan’s Righteous Qi chains and rushed into the passage toward the phantom palace gate.
• The Moon Beast and ancient jade fragment vanished after helping Xu Zhi approach the gate, so Xu Zhi used lightning and Fairy Xingyue’s starlight to connect the passage to it.
• Xu Zhi, Fairy Xingyue, and Xiao Hua entered the phantom palace gate, followed by the Four Great Families as Star Moon Palace shifted toward the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons.
• A Chaos Storm swept through the starlight passage, killing two Buddhist disciples while Xu Zhi, Fairy Xingyue, and Xiao Hua evaded it.
• Ancestor Hongmeng recognized Xiao Hua, reflected on their past conflict, and resolved to make Xiao Hua submit or kill him and take the Creation Sect.

Ancestor Hongmeng was caught in a Chaos Storm and reconsidered rushing toward Star Moon Palace, while the cultivators behind him struggled through the deadly passage. Xiao Hua reached the palace gate with Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue, and they moved aside as the pillar of light began to open.

• A Chaos Storm tore away part of Ancestor Hongmeng’s clouds and one of his legs, prompting him to suspect Xu Zhi might be the senior who had once guided him.
• Chaos Storms killed many of the Four Great Families’ disciples and nearly thirty percent of the Hundred Schools of Thought cultivators, while their survivors advanced in organized formations.
• The Demon Race’s disorderly rush toward Star Moon Palace led to further deaths when a Chaos Storm burst apart the demons’ bodies.
• Xiao Hua reached the palace gate and told Fairy Xingyue that he had learned sword techniques from cultivators on Xiaoyu Continent.
• Xu Zhi warned Xiao Hua and Fairy Xingyue that Star Moon Palace was about to move, and the three withdrew from the pillar of light.
• The pillar’s mysterious patterns flowed downward before it burst into aura, revealing a glittering starlit sky.

Xu Zhi, Fairy Xingyue, and Xiao Hua entered Star Moon Palace and set off through its strange, law-altering space while Ancestor Hongmeng followed in disguise. The Four Great Families’ leaders arrived after losing nearly half their disciples and began discussing how to unite under Dongfang Yushan.

• Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue explained that the entrance had become far more dangerous, with numerous Chaos Storms, and sensed that Ancestor Hongmeng had arrived.
• Xiao Hua suggested intercepting Ancestor Hongmeng, but Xu Zhi refused to force the issue and led the group toward the Meteor belt.
• Xiao Hua discovered that Star Moon Palace had its own laws, prevented access to Shenhua Continent, and rendered the Kunlun Mirror unusable.
• Ancestor Hongmeng entered disguised as a Buddhist Protector, mistook Xiao Hua for someone else, and followed Xu Zhi’s trail while boasting that the Yin Yang Illustrated Manual concealed his identity.
• The Four Great Families’ disciples entered after suffering heavy losses, and their leaders discussed joining forces and choosing Dongfang Yushan as their leader.

Dongfang Yushan and the other family leaders waited for more allies before entering Star Moon Palace, while Xiao Hua followed Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue to the dangerous Meteor Belt. As Xu Zhi tried to sense when its spatial vortexes would settle, Xiao Hua offered to take over the task.

• Dongfang Yushan declined to make decisions alone, and the four families agreed to wait for more allied Confucian cultivators while other demons and aristocratic families entered Star Moon Palace.
• Xiao Hua arrived with Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue at the Meteor Belt, where shifting, starlit spatial fragments and violent forces made the passage far more dangerous than he had expected.
• Xu Zhi explained that the fragments contained hazards from different realms and that they would have to cross through safe fragments step by step, though teleportation passages might offer a shortcut.
• Xu Zhi said the Meteor Belt's spatial vortexes would soon settle and began using derivative sense to track them, despite Fairy Xingyue's concern for his body.
• Xiao Hua offered to handle the task himself and asked Xu Zhi not to use methods from the Immortal Realm.
