He investigated the area and collected countless fallen cultivators’ souls, then returned as Huan Wuxin presented the jade slip behind his report.

• Huan Wuxin pointed southwest and directed Xiao Hua toward the frontier.

Xiao Hua flew his lightning-powered thunderboat through Xu while learning that its cultivators followed a different path from his own, leaving him to conclude that he would have to return to Cangxian Continent to advance. When a huge Devil Race force emerged ahead, he prepared to confront it but realized its numbers were far greater than he had expected.

• Xiao Hua powered his thunderboat with a Thunder Pool and asked Huan Wuxin about Xu's cultivation realms and techniques.

Xiao Hua helped Ou Chu and the Divine Blade Sect defeat a Devil Race force, then learned of a possible surprise attack on the Ten Sects of the Southwest. Despite Ou Chu’s warning about the danger and the sects’ poor military coordination, Xiao Hua remained intent on going to the Southwest frontier.

• Xiao Hua used the Dust-Clearing Pagoda and his divine abilities to kill high-ranking Devil Race fighters and help the Divine Blade Sect survive the siege.

• Xiao Hua asked for a communication artifact and said he wanted to inspect the Southwest frontier, but Ou Chu warned that the mission could pit him against a Devil Emperor and a vast, poorly organized battlefield.

Xiao Hua decided to head for the Southwest frontier and considered bringing Creation Sect disciples out of his space to help the Ten Sects and temper them in battle. After testing their ability to survive outside, he found that only advanced cultivators could safely release their Nascent Souls, then debated who should command the disciples.

• Xiao Hua declined Ou Chu’s offer of two thousand escorts, asked him to take the Ten Sects’ disciples aboard his flying boat, and accepted a map and communication talisman before Ou Chu’s forces departed.
• Xiao Hua studied the map, traveled to a mountain peak, and decided that Creation Sect disciples should leave his space to gain experience and support the Ten Sects.
• Xiao Hua and green-robed Xiao Hua tested Wang Feng, a Spirit Severing disciple, and a Void Refinement disciple; their Nascent Souls began to collapse outside the space, so Xiao Hua returned them to safety.
• Xiao Hua found that two scattered Nascent Souls could survive outside and concluded that Body Integration disciples and above could release their Nascent Souls, while the others must keep them inside their bodies.
• Wenqu volunteered to command the hundred thousand disciples, but Xiao Hua and green-robed Xiao Hua doubted his ability, and Wenqu asked whether Xiao Hua would command them himself.

• Xiao Hua gathered his incarnations and one hundred thousand Creation Sect disciples, leaving Sun Jian astonished by the army's strength.

Xiao Hua gathered his disciples and descendants to prepare them for battle in this unfamiliar continent. After placing Sun Jian in charge of training the Creation Sect disciples, he released several thousand members of the You and Liu families to join the expedition.

• Xiao Hua put the Creation Sect disciples under Sun Jian's command and gave him a thunder boat controlled by Thunderclap True Person.
• Xiao Hua left Sun Jian to train the troops and traveled away to study the Karma Incantation.

• You Zhongquan and Liu Yi asked to send their descendants to gain battle experience, and Xiao Hua released several thousand members of their families from the Kunlun Mirror.

Xiao Hua failed to complete the Cause and Effect technique, but glimpsed that the danger ahead would end without disaster. He then watched Sun Jian train the Creation Sect disciples and prepared them to face the Devil Race in the Ruins.

• Xiao Hua attempted the Cause and Effect technique, but silver lightning destroyed the ripples before they could form the Hand of Cause and Effect.
• A phantom in a dark realm noticed Xiao Hua had reached a fragment of the Primordial Realm and declared that he need not return.
• Xiao Hua concluded that the coming danger would end in alarm without peril, then teleported to Sun Jian's training ground.

• Xiao Hua warned the disciples that they faced a life-or-death trial, and Sun Jian asked whether more thunderboats were available so the troops could train in two formations.

Xiao Hua and Sun Jian led the Devil-Slaying Army and Devil-Extermination Army into a Devil Race ambush, where the Creation Sect disciples fought a fierce battle. As Xiao Hua gathered the fallen disciples’ souls, he discovered that Devil Race warriors were siphoning souls toward eight hidden locations to refine devilish weapons.

• Xiao Hua gave Sun Jian a jade slip containing formations he had comprehended, then joined the Devil-Slaying Army aboard a Thunder Boat.
• Sun Jian led both Thunder Boats southwest, and Xiao Hua gathered wandering souls while studying temporal fluctuations.
• A Devil Race ambush engulfed the Thunder Boats in Devil Qi and blood-lit fragments, and Sun Jian and Xiao Hua steadied the disciples before ordering them to fight.
• The Creation Sect disciples formed battle squads and attacked, but the Devil Race broke through the Thunder Boats’ defenses and inflicted casualties.
• Xiao Hua collected fallen disciples’ souls, corpses, and belongings, then used the Eye of Delusion Breaking to spot souls flowing toward eight locations where Devil Race warriors were gathering them.

Xiao Hua and his allies fought the Devil Lords who had appeared with sacrificial Demonic Banners, and Xiao Hua swiftly killed his opponent while collecting the banners and demonic remains. In his Yin aspect of space, he freed the banners’ countless imprisoned souls and sent them into the Nether Fruit Tree, while the familiar Demon General escaped during the battle.

• Sun Jian charged a Devil Lord, while Xiao Hua used the Kunlun Mirror to destroy another Devil Lord’s demonic qi and pierce his banner.
• Xiao Hua killed the Devil Lord with the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors and Kunlun Mirror, but the familiar-looking Demon General disappeared as the battle continued.
• Xiao Hua’s clones killed the other Devil Lords, and Sun Jian killed one as Xiao Hua gathered their bodies and Demonic Banners.
• Jade Slip Xiao Hua tore the banners apart and sent their millions of freed souls into the Nether Fruit Tree, which had grown to the size of a continent.

Jade Slip Xiao Hua used Great God Houtu’s inheritance to begin transforming Zhang Xiaohua’s stone statue into a Netherworld guardian while the Creation Sect fought the Devil Race. As the battle worsened, Xiao Hua and Sun Jian prepared to intervene, and a blood pearl and the Ya Brush emerged from the demonic formation.

• Jade Slip Xiao Hua infused Zhang Xiaohua’s statue with Netherworld power and Great God Houtu’s inheritance, then left the space to wait for Xue Xue and Master to grow.
• Jiang Hong, Liu Yi, You Zhongquan, and the other disciples killed the two Devil Lords, but the Devil Race continued multiplying inside an unbroken demonic formation.
• Xiao Hua and Sun Jian recognized that the formation trapped the disciples and that the Devil Race seemed able to return after being killed, so they agreed to wait briefly before breaking the formation.
• A blood pearl emerged from the formation, and Confucian cultivator Xiao Hua split it with the Heaven-Shaking Sword as thunder struck the spatial fissures and Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua’s Ya Brush appeared.
