• Xiao Hua decided to explain matters to Liu Yi and find his way back to Cangxian Continent, but found strange rings of light surrounding the sea when he emerged.

Xiao Hua and Jiang Rui identified their location as the inner sea of Chunche Forbidden Sea and tried to escape before its dangers fully recovered. They reached a route toward the edge, but a sudden force threw them toward a deadly vortex, leaving Xiao Hua to use the Lightning and Thunder Technique to shield them.

• Jiang Rui recognized the sea as Chunche Forbidden Sea, and he and Xiao Hua abandoned their search for Ao Shi to flee.
• Xiao Hua and Jiang Rui traveled through the sea for three days until a vortex nearly pulled Jiang Rui in, but Xiao Hua rescued him with Sleeve Universe.
• Jiang Rui recognized a route toward the inner edge of the forbidden sea and led Xiao Hua through the vortices and distorted space.
• As they entered the light and shadows between two vortices, a force shoved Xiao Hua toward a distant vortex and threw Jiang Rui off balance.
• Xiao Hua used the Lightning and Thunder Technique and Three Corpse Yin Thunder to open a patch of dim green space around them.

Xiao Hua exposed Ao Shi, defeated him, and killed him with the Spirit Severing Primordial Light. The soul technique triggered a violent upheaval in the Chunche Forbidden Sea, which dragged Xiao Hua into a realm of green seal-script characters and left him struggling to survive.

• Xiao Hua explained how Jiang Xia's account, Ao Shi's strength, his knowledge of the Dragon Pouch, and the sea chart revealed that he had impersonated Jiang Rui.
• Ao Shi admitted he carried a Dragon Pouch, threatened Xiao Hua and Jiang Hong, then transformed into a dragon and attacked.

• The green seal-script characters stopped, contracted, and split, filling the space around Xiao Hua like flickering stars.

Xiao Hua recovered from his injuries in the submerged Soul Cultivator ruins and discovered a surviving green seal-script character that revealed the Nan Yuan Bei Zhe technique. He could not yet use the technique, but he realized it might let him create teleportation passages to marked locations without Teleportation Arrays.

• Xiao Hua stopped green-robed Xiao Hua from exploring the ruins alone, checked that Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua was recovering, and spent a hundred days repairing his body.
• Xiao Hua found that an immense repulsive force prevented him from escaping the abyss, so he used the Soul Cultivators' Flying Technique to explore the buried ruins.
• Xiao Hua examined ruined halls on several mountain peaks and found a glowing green seal-script character in the hall beside the central stone pillar.
• Xiao Hua activated the character with his soul threads and watched it form a teleportation passage before it returned to the stone wall.
• Xiao Hua comprehended the character as the Nan Yuan Bei Zhe technique, but realized his Soul Cultivator realm was too weak to use it yet.

Xiao Hua explored the bone halls beneath the sea, collected the twelve soul artifacts within them, and discovered that their power strengthened Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua and Little White in Soul Knot Heaven. At the final pillar, he found a crystal containing a second copy of his crystal skull thumb ring, but could not break or move it, leaving green-robed Xiao Hua to suggest trying blood refinement.

• Xiao Hua entered a bone hall dedicated to Great God Tianwu and found that its enormous bone sphere could be moved only with soul threads.
• After Little White urged him to take the sphere into Soul Knot Heaven, Xiao Hua used Soul Bridge to bring it through the mysterious dark clouds, where it became a statue of Great God Tianwu.
• Xiao Hua collected the bone spheres from all twelve halls, and their green light strengthened Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua while bringing strange insights to Jade Slip Xiao Hua.
• Xiao Hua reached the much taller final pillar and found a diamond-shaped crystal containing a thumb ring identical to the one given to him by the Witch King of Million Meng Mountain.
• Xiao Hua failed for more than a month to move or damage the crystal, and green-robed Xiao Hua suggested that he try using his blood.

Xiao Hua used his essence blood to retrieve a second crystal skull thumb ring, then escaped the Soul Cultivator ruins through a dangerous teleportation passage and found his way out of the Chunche Forbidden Sea. On a nearby island, he recovered Jiang Hong from Ao Shi’s hidden Dragon Pouch and showed her dragon form to Liu Yi, who recognized her as Xiao Yun and admired her beauty.

• Xiao Hua used a drop of essence blood to draw the crystal skull thumb ring from the crystal and wondered whether he was destined to return to Xiaoyu Continent and meet the shaman king.
• Xiao Hua left the Soul Cultivator ruins through a damaged teleportation passage, using the Great Universe Shifting Token to steady the space around him.
• Xiao Hua navigated the Chunche Forbidden Sea with the North Sea Dragon Palace sea chart and escaped to the open sea.
• Xiao Hua landed on an island, found Ao Shi’s Dragon Pouch hidden in his tail, and discovered Jiang Hong bound inside in her dragon form.
• Xiao Hua brought Liu Yi out of his space, and Liu Yi recognized Jiang Hong as Xiao Yun and said her true body was beautiful.

Xiao Hua rescued Jiang Hong from the North Sea Dragon Palace and left Liu Yi to care for her, but soon lost his way near the Chunche Forbidden Sea. There he found Ao Zhantian fighting a Water Rhino and joined the battle, leaving the beast battered by his magic treasures.

• Xiao Hua told Liu Yi that Jiang Hong had been rescued but remained bound by the North Sea Dragon Palace’s demon arts, and Liu Yi accepted that he might not awaken Xiao Yun yet.
• Xiao Hua placed Liu Yi and Jiang Hong in his space, then flew away with the Dragon Pouch and lost his direction near the Chunche Forbidden Sea.
• Xiao Hua spotted Ao Zhantian badly wounded and used lightning to sever a tentacle before it could strike him from behind.
• A Water Rhino emerged from the sea and attacked Xiao Hua, who countered with the Sea-Overturning Seal and Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors.
• The Water Rhino used its head tumor to knock the Sea-Overturning Seal aside, but Xiao Hua’s attack still slammed it into the sea and left Ao Zhantian astonished.

Xiao Hua rescued Ao Zhantian from the Water Rhino and helped him obtain the Xiting Bao needed to pass the North Sea Dragon Palace selection. The two set off for the designated Dragon Island training site, while Xiao Hua’s consciousness entered his space and found Green-robed Xiao Hua had piled up a mountain of bones and treasures.

• Xiao Hua trapped the Water Rhino, cut off its Xiting Bao for Ao Zhantian, and gave the wounded beast a Rejuvenation Pill before releasing it.
• Ao Zhantian explained that the Water Rhino had killed several members of his selection group and that the Chunche Forbidden Sea had separated or carried off the others.
• Ao Zhantian confirmed that Xiao Hua could accompany him to Dragon Island because he had already submitted Xiao Hua’s place without recording his name.
• Xiao Hua and Ao Zhantian boarded a flying boat and set out for the site where they would await the Dragon Island Dragon Clan.
• Xiao Hua entered his space and saw that Green-robed Xiao Hua had dumped out underwater treasures and an enormous pile of bones.

Xiao Hua discussed the treasures and sect matters in his space, including the growing mysteries around Dai Er, the seven-colored conch, and Shang Hua Ming. After giving Ao Zhantian powerful healing pills during their flight, Xiao Hua left him impressed by his pill-refining skill as they continued toward Dragon Island.

• Green-robed Xiao Hua gathered magical treasures and white bones from the Soul Cultivator ruins and said he would sort useful items for the Creation Sect.
• Jade Slip Xiao Hua and green-robed Xiao Hua discussed the sect’s early development, Xiao Guo’s pill-refining progress, and the changes in Dai Er and the seven-colored conch.

• Xiao Hua left his space and gave Ao Zhantian a pill to treat his injuries while they traveled by flying boat through the clouds.
• Ao Zhantian took the pill, recovered his breath, praised its quality, and gladly accepted several more pills from Xiao Hua for the dangerous Dragon Island training.

Xiao Hua accompanied Ao Zhantian through the North Sea toward Dragon Island, where Ao Zhantian hoped to grow strong enough to escape the Immortal Palace’s control. They met the Dragon Island Envoy and boarded the Dragon Ship, leaving Xiao Hua’s purpose for going to Dragon Island undisclosed.

• Ao Zhantian explained that Dragon Island would test entrants’ strength and bloodline purity before assigning them to training grounds, while Xiao Hua said he had his own reasons for going there.
• Ao Zhantian suspected Xiao Hua was using Dragon Island to evade the Immortal Palace, and Xiao Hua assured him that his business there would not cause trouble for him.
• Xiao Hua helped Ao Zhantian’s damaged flying boat survive more than ten days of North Sea storms and dangerous sea beasts until they reached a sea reef.
• Ao Zhantian described how his travels had revealed ever-wider worlds and said he hoped Dragon Island training would help him break free of Confucian control.
• After traveling farther underwater, Ao Zhantian presented his Xiting Bao to the Dragon Island Envoy, who confirmed his selection and ordered him and Xiao Hua to board the Dragon Ship before another storm arrived.

Xiao Hua and Ao Zhantian settled into the Dragon Ship and spent more than half a year traveling toward Dragon Island, where Xiao Hua cultivated and watched Ao Zhantian make connections with other cultivators. The Dragon Envoy’s furious voice then exposed everyone aboard to a strange scene of multicolored clouds and a gigantic dragon, leaving the passengers gathered in confusion.

• The Dragon Envoy gave Ao Zhantian a jade token for a tower and warned that fighting aboard the Dragon Ship was forbidden.
• Ao Zhantian and Xiao Hua explored their quarters, and Ao Zhantian planned to befriend other human cultivators while Xiao Hua cultivated in seclusion.
• The Dragon Ship set off, and Xiao Hua spent more than half a year cultivating, advancing his Leiting technique while considering how his Daoist cultivation and Crimson Infant Technique affected each other.
• Ao Qiran and Ao Moran visited Ao Zhantian just as the Dragon Envoy’s angry voice sounded and the Dragon Ship’s restrictions vanished.
• Xiao Hua went outside with the others and saw thousands of humans and Demon Race creatures beneath multicolored clouds, where a gigantic radiant dragon coiled.

The Dragon Envoy forbade further violence aboard the Dragon Ship after an earlier attack, while Xiao Hua returned to cultivating and the Ao cultivators discussed their plans for Dragon Island. Later, the Dragon Envoy found two demon beasts dead and confronted Cheng Chu, who denied killing them and was supported by Ming Chi.

• The Dragon Envoy warned the humans and demons aboard the Dragon Ship not to fight again before Dragon Island, and the passengers returned to their cultivation.
• Ao Zhantian, Ao Qiran, and Ao Moran discussed their suspicions about the attack and their plans for the training, while Xiao Hua returned to his quiet room.
• The Dragon Ship's restrictions vanished, and Xiao Hua emerged to find the Dragon Envoy holding the corpses of the Dragon Python and Bi Qi.
• The Dragon Envoy confronted Cheng Chu about the killings, but Cheng Chu denied responsibility and said he had been seeking help from Ming Chi.
• Ming Chi confirmed that Cheng Chu had been talking with him, then explained that they had met outside their caves because their discussion was not convenient to hold inside.

After two Demon Race members were killed aboard the Dragon Ship, the Dragon Envoy failed to identify the culprit, and suspicion spread among the passengers. Xiao Hua continued advising Ao Zhantian until another expert was murdered and a further disturbance suggested the killings were escalating.

• The Dragon Envoy questioned Cheng Chu, concluded he had not killed the Dragon Python and Bi Qi, and left after the other suspects denied involvement.
• Xiao Hua reasoned that the Dragon Envoy might not be able to monitor the entire Dragon Ship, then assured Ao Zhantian he had not committed the killings.
• Ao Zhantian told Xiao Hua about the passengers’ alliances and asked for cultivation advice, which Xiao Hua provided for more than ten days.
• Jing Hong, a powerful Demon Race member, was found dead, and the Dragon Envoy mocked the unseen killer before departing without identifying them.
• After Xiao Hua resumed instructing Ao Zhantian, another tremendous sound shook the Dragon Ship, and Xiao Hua warned that the situation might be growing more troublesome.

After Ao Jingbo’s body arrived on the Dragon Ship, Xiao Hua and Ao Zhantian realized the killings involved humans as well as demons. Ao Moyun gathered the human cultivators to discuss the hidden killer’s motives, while Xiao Hua listened as an outsider.

• Xiao Hua and Ao Zhantian found Ao Jingbo, a human cultivator from Jing Province, dead with a hole through his chest.
• Ao Zhantian secured their pavilion, then Ao Moran invited them to Ao Moyun’s gathering.
• Ao Xun objected to Xiao Hua joining them, but Ao Moyun recognized Xiao Hua and welcomed him into her pavilion.
• The gathered cultivators discussed how Ao Jingbo’s death showed that the attacks were not limited to demons.
• Ao Xun asked what the hidden expert intended to accomplish by killing three demons and one human cultivator.

Ao Moyun gathered the cultivators to protect them from a killer aboard the Dragon Ship, but more Demon Race and human cultivators were found dead. As the ship grew eerily deserted, Ao Moyun concluded that staying together offered no safety and the group prepared to disperse.

• Ao Moyun persuaded the Confucian cultivators to remain together in the pavilion after Ao Zhantian guessed she wanted to prevent the murderer from picking them off one by one.
• A scream led Ao Moyun, Xiao Hua, and the others to Qiu You’s shattered cave, where they found the powerful Demon Race cultivator dead and the Dragon Envoy removed his corpse.
• Ao Moyun suspected that multiple killers were acting before the Dragon Ship reached Dragon Island, and investigators reported that Liang Yong, Ao Feng, and more than a dozen human cultivators had also been killed.
• Xiao Hua, Ao Xun, and Ao Zhantian surveyed the deserted ship and found piles of mutilated human and Demon Race corpses at the place where the Dragon Envoy discarded bodies.
• Ao Moyun said the cultivators should disperse because gathering had not kept them safe, while Ao Xun complained that the Dragon Envoy cared only about returning the ship to Dragon Island.

Ao Moyun told Xiao Hua that she expected to be the murderer’s target and tried to entrust him with a jade pupil containing records of her bloodline, but he refused to become involved in Dragon Island’s affairs. After the Dragon Envoy failed to stop another assassination in front of the assembled cultivators, the crowd scattered, and Xiao Hua urged Ao Moyun and the others to take shelter in Ao Zhantian’s pavilion.

• Ao Moyun privately called six cultivators into the quiet room, using the first five as a smokescreen before asking Xiao Hua to accept a jade pupil.
• Ao Moyun said the jade pupil held records about her bloodline and that she suspected she was the murderer’s target, but Xiao Hua refused to take it.
• Xiao Hua set up the Duotian Star Array in Ao Zhantian’s pavilion and gave Ao Zhantian shelter while he waited outside for news.
• The Dragon Envoy ordered the cultivators to leave their restrictions and gather, hoping to stop further assassinations aboard the Dragon Ship.
• Another cultivator was killed within sight of the Dragon Envoy, prompting the crowd to flee, and Xiao Hua called Ao Moyun and the others back to the pavilion.

Xiao Hua saved Ao Moyun from the hidden murderer, but the killer attacked her pavilion and then turned his attention toward Xiao Hua and the others. The chapter left Xiao Hua confronting a wave of murderous divine sense with a bolt of lightning.

• Xiao Hua led Ao Xun, Ao Moran, and others into the Duotian Star Array, while Ao Moyun refused shelter and left the pavilion.
• After several dozen days of killings, Xiao Hua went invisibly to Ao Moyun’s pavilion and found her expecting someone to come.
• Xiao Hua recognized the approaching danger, captured Ao Moyun with the Mountain River Seal, and escaped as the murderer destroyed her pavilion.
• The Dragon Envoy attacked the empty ruins but failed to find the murderer or Ao Moyun, while Xiao Hua returned injured to Ao Zhantian’s pavilion.
• Xiao Hua removed the Duotian Star Array to keep Ao Zhantian and the others from becoming targets, but a powerful divine sense and dragon might descended upon them.
• Xiao Hua conjured a bolt of lightning and struck toward the top of the pavilion.

After the invisible killer’s attacks stopped, the Dragon Ship reached Dragon Island, which Xiao Hua discovered was hidden inside a droplet of water beneath the sea. As the Dragon Envoy summoned powerful dragons to capture the killer, Xiao Hua and the other passengers were trapped and surrounded.

• Xiao Hua reassured Ao Zhantian and the other Confucian cultivators that the Dragon Clan senior had likely not targeted them, and told them to wait quietly for the Dragon Ship to dock.
• Over the following months, the killer’s attacks ceased after killing forty-seven Demon Race members and thirteen humans.
• The Dragon Ship entered a tiny droplet of water, revealing that Dragon Island was an enormous underwater continent hidden within it.
• Xiao Hua brought Ao Moyun out of his spatial space, and she recognized that he had safely brought her to Dragon Island.
• The Dragon Envoy signaled the dragons at Dragon Island, and they sealed the passengers inside a crystal dome while searching for the killer.
• A Dragon General arrived with nine giant dragons and ordered the dome opened; the dragons then surrounded Xiao Hua and the other passengers with overwhelming Dragon Breath.

Xiao Hua witnessed the Dragon general use the Dragon Language Heavenly Art to capture the disguised Dragon Python, Bi Qi, and Jing Hong, then learned that the art wielded Daoist-like Primordial Qi. The dragon envoy ordered another inspection of the Dragon Blood Descendants before they could ascend Dragon Island.

• Ao Moyun urged the dragon general to inspect the discarded corpses, and Dragon Python, Bi Qi, and Jing Hong sprang out and fled.
• The dragon general pursued the three demons, used Dragon Language Heavenly Art to imprison the surrounding seawater, and captured them in a Dragon Pouch.
• Xiao Hua asked Ao Moyun about the dragon general's technique, and she identified it as Dragon Island's secret Dragon Language Heavenly Art.
• Ao Moyun gave Xiao Hua the jade pupil containing vague records of the art.
• The dragon envoy gathered the Dragon Blood Descendants and announced that they would undergo another thorough inspection for accomplices.

Xiao Hua reached the Dragon Island inspection passage with Ao Zhantian, while a young Dragon Clan elder arrived and learned that Dragon Blood Descendants would be selected to enter the Diecui Relic Realm. After the dragon soldier discovered Xiao Hua’s identity and warned that admitting him could provoke the Immortal Palace, Xiao Hua distracted the Young Clan Elder with a story and avoided an immediate decision.

• Ten giant dragons opened passageways and inspected the Demon Race and humans entering the Dragon Island training grounds.
• The Young Clan Elder arrived, objected to the outsiders entering the Diecui Relic Realm, then learned that the Nine Great Elders had arranged a bloodline selection.
• Ao Zhantian hesitated before confirming that Xiao Hua was his guard and entered the passage after the dragon soldier verified his background.
• The dragon soldier identified Xiao Hua as True Person Xiao Hua and warned that his presence could cause conflict between Dragon Island and the Immortal Palace.
• Xiao Hua began recounting Yuan Ya and Butterfly Dance’s story to captivate the Young Clan Elder while the dragon soldier redirected the demons behind him.

Xiao Hua entered Dragon Island’s Dragon Qi Realm after Xiaolong used his status to secure his admission, despite the dragon envoy’s warnings. As Dragon Island began testing bloodline purity and selecting entrants for the Diecui Relic Realm, Dragon Vein Xiao Hua sensed a call and threatened to expose their plan to reach the Dragon Cleansing Pool.

• Xiaolong invited Xiao Hua to Dragon Island, overruling the dragon envoy’s objections and promising to visit him in the Dragon Qi Realm.
• The dragon envoy warned Xiao Hua that he would report the matter to the Fourth Elder, but Xiao Hua dismissed the threat and entered the passageway.
• Xiao Hua emerged in the Dragon Qi Realm and reunited with Ao Zhantian and Ao Moyun.
• A Dragon Island elder announced that the Diecui Relic Realm might open and that Dragon race members would be selected to enter it before the usual training groups were assigned.
• The dragon qi caused Ao Zhantian and Ao Moyun to reveal and enlarge their dragon forms, while Dragon Vein Xiao Hua sensed a call to emerge.

Xiao Hua’s unstable dragon vein was overwhelmed by Xiaolong’s arrival and emerged as a colossal dragon with extraordinary dragon might, astonishing everyone in the Dragon Qi Realm. Xiao Hua was selected for the Diecui Relic Realm and arrived at Star Radiance Hall, where he and the other entrants were summoned before the Fourth Elder.

• Xiao Hua resisted the surging dragon qi as Ao Moyun’s black dragon grew to five thousand zhang and qualified for the Diecui Relic Realm.
• Xiaolong entered the Dragon Qi Realm, drew in vast amounts of dragon qi, and triggered Dragon Vein Xiao Hua’s emergence from Xiao Hua’s body.
• Dragon Vein Xiao Hua grew to tens of thousands of zhang and displayed such powerful dragon might that Xiaolong and the imposing voice questioned his bloodline.
• Xiao Hua and more than a thousand other qualified entrants were drawn through the black hole into Star Radiance Hall, where Xiao Hua appeared ahead of the Dragon Race members.
• The Fourth Elder summoned the entrants to another hall, and Xiaolong respectfully addressed him.
