Fairy Hongxia refused Cai Qin’s attempt to dissuade her from entering Hanfeng Valley, so Cai Qin gave her the Cai Family’s Ice Phoenix Cultivation Method as a possible means of survival.

Zhang Yutong was held captive by Zhang Qingxiao, who argued that the Heavenly Demon Sect would grow by giving cultivators access to techniques and a way to achieve Foundation Establishment. After months of confinement, she tried to escape, but Zhang Qingxiao stopped her, and she attempted to persuade him to join Xuanjian Sect.

Five years later, as Wu Nai prepared Xiao Hua for a Foundation Establishment trial, Xiao Hua discovered that a command token was an incomplete Great Universe Shifting Token.

• Deming and Renzhu reviewed Xiao Hua’s fights and learned that he had failed Foundation Establishment himself, but they agreed to keep his apparent ability to help others secret and monitor him.
• Several years passed as the search for the vanished sword cultivators continued without success and the Changbai Sect grew indifferent to Duan Yuming and Wang Xuyyao.

Xiao Hua reached the late fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation and used his essence blood to nurture a repaired Sword Pellet into a flying sword. After Little Yellow devoured a hostile phantom expelled by the pellet, Xiao Hua gained control of the sword, though its unusual sensations left him suspecting it carried karmic hindrance; a sudden wave of bewilderment then appeared before him.

• Little Yellow sucked the phantom out of the blood and swallowed it, allowing Xiao Hua to burn away the remaining blood filth.
• The Sword Pellet transformed into an azure-and-red flying sword that Xiao Hua could control, and he sensed both sharpness and a wariness he suspected came from karmic hindrance.
• Xiao Hua tested the sword, lamented that he lacked a sword-control technique, and then saw a wave of bewilderment appear before him.

• Xiangyang told Xiao Hua that Wang Yunxiao had established his foundation and that their Master had been troubled by recent events.
• Gen Qing told Xiao Hua he had called him to repay the favor Xiao Hua had done him at the Feathered Immortal Convention.

Gen Qing repaid Xiao Hua with a jade slip containing the origins of a mysterious material, magical-treasure formulas, and insights into Foundation Establishment. As Xiao Hua studied the insights on his way back, an intense sense of danger suddenly overtook him.

• Gen Qing gave Xiao Hua a jade slip with information about a mysterious material and his private cultivation insights, including methods for refining and using magical treasures and guidance on breaking through Foundation Establishment.
• Gen Qing advised Xiao Hua to cultivate patiently and consider immortal affinity, while Xiangyang remained silent about the jade slip.

• Xiao Hua read Gen Qing's Foundation Establishment insights while flying toward East Ridge Medicine Garden, but a sudden, intense sense of danger interrupted him.

Xiao Hua was ambushed by Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie of Yan Lei Ridge, who used their Foundation Establishment pressure to pin him down. He broke free with the Great Vajra Dharma Body and used the Town Cloud Seal against their Hundred Layer Cloud Barrier, leaving their clash unresolved.

• Xiao Hua spotted Zhen Hao hiding nearby, but Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie revealed themselves and used their Foundation Establishment pressure to restrain him.
• Zhen Mie sent a flying sword talisman at Xiao Hua, who caught and crushed it with his pale golden Great Vajra Dharma Body.
• Zhen Hao attacked with the Four Symbols Wheel, but Xiao Hua's Dharma Body knocked it away and suffered damage in the exchange.
• Xiao Hua summoned the Town Cloud Seal, while Zhen Mie activated the Hundred Layer Cloud Barrier and blocked the seal with a cloud.
• Xiao Hua drew on his magic power to strengthen the Town Cloud Seal and drain the surrounding spiritual energy as Zhen Mie tried to reinforce the barrier.

Xiao Hua defeated Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie in a fierce fight, killing both Foundation Establishment cultivators despite their magic treasures. After recovering from the exertion, he collected their belongings and discovered a formation set in the ravine before flying toward East Ridge.

• Zhen Hao's Four Symbols Wheel was knocked away by Xiao Hua's Town Cloud Seal, while Zhen Mie's spear-shaped magical artifact was repelled by Xiao Hua's Great Vajra Dharma Body.
• Zhen Hao's Moyun Armor stopped the Town Cloud Seal, but Xiao Hua used Awakening Thunder Evasion to close in and killed him with a cyan-and-red sword light.
• Xiao Hua hurled the Town Cloud Seal at Zhen Mie, broke through his Hundred Layer Cloud Barrier, and knocked him down.
• Xiao Hua recovered his strength, collected Zhen Mie and Zhen Hao's storage pouches and magic treasures, and destroyed their corpses with Samadhi True Fire.
• Xiao Hua found and collected formation flags and a formation plate hidden in the ravine, then flew toward East Ridge.
• A Golden Core cultivator appeared outside a secluded hall in Zhen Thunder Palace and wondered which disciple training outside had died.

After killing Zhen Mie and Zhen Hao, Xiao Hua studied their manuals and information about the Buddhist Sect ruins while continuing his cultivation at East Ridge Medicine Garden. When Xun Shu finally summoned him to meet at Qiong Lei Peak for the Foundation Establishment trial, Xiao Hua replied, prepared to see his master, and left East Ridge.

• Xiao Hua returned to East Ridge, stored the spoils from Zhen Mie and Zhen Hao, and burned their remaining belongings.
• Xiao Hua discovered that Zhen Xie's jade slips contained detailed information about the Buddhist Sect ruins and studied artifact forging while tempering the Fire Marrow Blazing Crystal.
• Xiao Hua advanced to the early sixteenth layer of Qi Cultivation and investigated the increasingly violent fire-aspected spiritual qi at East Ridge, but found no cause.

• Xiao Hua recalled his failed Foundation Establishment attempt and waited for Xun Shu while other disciples mocked or pitied him.
• Zhen Yihong approached Xiao Hua and demanded to know whether he had seen the missing Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie.
• Zhen Yihong released his pressure and prepared to attack Xiao Hua, who considered revealing his Great Vajra Dharma Body to survive.
• Xun Shu arrived as Wu Nai swept in with his late Foundation Establishment pressure and pinned Zhen Yihong to the mountain path.
• Wu Nai condemned Zhen Yihong for bullying a weaker disciple, and Zhen Yihong claimed he had only been testing and advising Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua traveled with Xun Shu, Qian Diheng, and Kun Feiyan toward Mingxi, a dangerous land where they hoped to find a path to lightning evasion. Meanwhile, Zhen Weisheng blamed Wu Nai for the deaths of Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie and sent Zhen Ping out to pursue Xiao Hua; the group camped separately for the night.

• Xiao Hua learned that Xun Shu, Qian Diheng, and Kun Feiyan had only a vague direction for Mingxi, so he agreed to accompany them while planning to refine his flames and prepare for Foundation Establishment.
• Zhen Weisheng and Zhen Yihong suspected Wu Nai had ambushed Zhen Hao and Zhen Mie, and Zhen Weisheng urged Zhen Ping to register for training and pursue Xiao Hua.
• Xun Shu told Xiao Hua that their group needed to change direction, and Qian Diheng asked why a Yan Lei Ridge Martial Uncle had confronted him.
• Xiao Hua and Qian Diheng joked about the confrontation as the group continued toward Mingxi.
• Xun Shu and Kun Feiyan accepted Xiao Hua's suggestion to stop for the night, and Xiao Hua carved out a separate cave near the others.

Xiao Hua concealed himself in a cave protected by his unusual rabbit-shaped defensive array while he and his companions waited out a storm. The thunderstorm trapped the group in the mountains, leaving them unable to continue toward Mingxi.

• Xiao Hua hid his cave with his array and cultivated alone, while Qian Diheng, Xun Shu, and Kun Feiyan made their own preparations nearby.
• After the storm began, Xiao Hua emerged and suggested the group wait until the rain stopped before setting out.
• Qian Diheng insisted on seeing Xiao Hua's array, and Xiao Hua showed the others his spirit talismans while concealing how he had obtained them.
• Kun Feiyan mentioned that powerful cultivators could form arrays with jade talismans, prompting Xiao Hua to wonder whether he could use them to refine his own talismans.
• Xun Shu found that the thunderstorm restricted divine sense, and the group realized the violent lightning made it too dangerous to fly away.
• The four stayed in Xiao Hua's cave, where Xiao Hua studied a jade slip on artifact refinement.

Xiao Hua protected the group from the mudslide with a formation, while a mysterious little bottle emerged from a rift in the sky and drew the attention of powerful cultivators. After a terrifying pressure passed, Xun Shu discovered signs that her true qi was approaching Foundation Establishment.

• Xiao Hua placed talismans around the cave and set up a formation that blocked divine sense.
• A torrent of mud buried the cave, leaving Xiao Hua and the others protected beneath it.
• A rift opened in the sky, and a little bottle flew west as the Thunder Control Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators sensed the disturbance.
• A divine projection searched the area, spotted the four Qi Refining cultivators, then flew southwest before summoning them.
• Xiao Hua and the others recovered from the pressure, and Xun Shu announced that her true qi showed signs of Foundation Establishment.

After narrowly missing Foundation Establishment, Xiao Hua and his companions escaped their buried cave and continued toward Mingxi. As Xun Shu revealed why their destination and purpose had to remain secret, Xiao Hua accepted their caution, and Qian Diheng promised to give him first chance at whatever opportunity they found.

• Xun Shu, Kun Feiyan, and Qian Diheng advanced their cultivation but failed to establish their foundations, and Xiao Hua encouraged them to see their progress as a fortunate opportunity.
• Xiao Hua and the others used Earth Evasion Talismans to escape the debris-buried cave and flew north after the storm passed.
• Xiao Hua gained a new insight into the relationship between the transformations of Heaven and Earth and the Heavenly Dao, then became more diligent in his cultivation while traveling.
• After more than a month of winding travel, Xiao Hua asked Xun Shu why they were taking detours toward Mingxi, and Xun Shu explained that their destination and purpose were known to very few Thunder Control Sect members.
• Xiao Hua accepted the need for secrecy, and Qian Diheng promised to yield him the first opportunity in Mingxi, but Xiao Hua declined to claim it ahead of chance.

Xiao Hua and his companions flew to Weeping Moon City, where Qian Diheng revealed that he had chosen the city because it contained an artifact-refining business that could upgrade magical artifacts. They reached the city and learned about its powerful stone formations before entering its open perimeter.

• Xun Shu told Xiao Hua that Weeping Moon City lay north, and the group changed course to head there.
• Qian Diheng secretly told Xiao Hua about a Weeping Moon City shop that could refine magical artifacts and even magic treasures, accepting spirit stones, artifacts, or pills as payment.
• Xiao Hua declined to spend his pills because he was saving them for foundation establishment.
• Qian Diheng explained that Weeping Moon City was protected by the Hundred Evolution Giant Stone Formation and the Ten Thousand Layer Stone Wave Formation.
• The group descended upon reaching the city’s no-fly zone and approached its gaps between the giant stones, while Xiao Hua considered the city’s formations.

Xiao Hua and his companions entered Weeping Moon City and discovered its bustling streets were protected by a powerful illusion array. A dispute over a Spirit Camel carriage escalated until Xiao Hua subdued the beast with his bare hands, and the group left in another carriage while the cultivators who had challenged them went back into a shop.

• Xiao Hua detected a subtle barrier while passing through Weeping Moon City’s gate and realized the city’s apparent crowds outside were illusions created by an array.
• Qian Diheng called for a Spirit Camel carriage, but a group of cultivators from a nearby shop boarded it first and refused to give way.
• The carriage driver sided with the first passenger, and Qian Diheng revealed that he and his companions belonged to the Thunder Control Sect.
• Xiao Hua seized the Spirit Camel’s halter and forced the powerful beast to the ground, causing its passengers to jump down.
• The cultivators returned to the shop to look for Senior Brother Chang, while Xun Shu restrained Qian Diheng from following them.
• Xiao Hua pointed out another carriage, and Qian Diheng and Kun Feiyan boarded it instead.

Xiao Hua arrived in Weeping Moon City with Qian Diheng and Xun Shu, learned about the upcoming Bidding Convention, and considered getting his defensive magic treasures reforged. He left the inn to seek an artifact-refining shop and chose Luan's Shop after hearing Fan Ye recommend it, while another cultivator urged him to visit Seven Wonders Sect.

• Qian Diheng booked rooms for the group, and Xun Shu told Xiao Hua that a Bidding Convention would take place in three days.
• Xun Shu mentioned the Lotus-Leaning Green Fruit, and Xiao Hua considered whether it could benefit his unusual cultivation progress.
• Xiao Hua asked Qian Diheng about reforging his defensive magic treasures, and Qian Diheng said he would scout the place first.
• Xiao Hua studied an artifact-refining jade slip in his room before leaving the inn to look for shops.
• Fan Ye recommended Luan's Shop, while a cultivator promoted Seven Wonders Sect; Xiao Hua chose Luan's Shop and gave Fan Ye a spirit stone.
• A faint point of light appeared within Xiao Hua's Buddha Sarira without his noticing.

Xiao Hua visited Luan's Shop on Fan Ye's recommendation and triggered a powerful Five Elements fire while inspecting a peacock-shaped object. Luan Han identified it as the Luan family's Lingmou Zhu Fire and explained that its inheritance had mostly been lost.

• Xiao Hua disguised himself before entering the remote Luan's Shop and found Luan Jianming asleep behind the counter.
• Xiao Hua examined the shop's materials and reached for a peacock-shaped object in a compartment.
• Five sparks from the counter merged into a powerful fireball, which Xiao Hua contained after his Ice Seal incantation failed to extinguish it.
• Luan Jianming woke, mistook Xiao Hua for a thief, and then bowed after recognizing him as a senior.
• Luan Han arrived, welcomed Xiao Hua as Fan Ye's referral, and identified the fireball as the Luan family's Lingmou Zhu Fire.

Xiao Hua bought artifact-refining materials from Luan Han and asked whether the Luan family’s inherited Lingmou Zhu Fire could refine an unusually heavy material that resisted spiritual sense. He entered the rear courtyard to consult Luan Han’s martial uncle, while a passing cultivator briefly mistook him for someone she had known as Xiao Hua.

• Xiao Hua rejected Luan Han’s toy peacock and bought several portions of every artifact-refining material in the shop, paying more than Luan Han requested.
• Xiao Hua described his grandmaster’s strange material, and Luan Han suggested that the Luan family’s Lingmou Zhu Fire might be able to refine it.
• Xiao Hua agreed to meet Luan Han’s martial uncle, and identified himself as Zhang Hua.
• Three cultivators entered Luan’s Shop after Xiao Hua left; one of the women thought his back resembled Xiao Hua’s, then dismissed the possibility that he had survived.
• Luan Han brought Xiao Hua to meet his early Foundation Establishment martial uncle, who had agreed to hear the question about the Golden Core elder’s material.

Xiao Hua sought Luan Qing’s advice on refining the Prajna Heavy Sword, and learned it might require Demon Realm methods, a heart-refining technique, or a perfected Lingmou Zhu Fire. He tried to trade his Samadhi True Fire art for the Luan family’s fire art and, as Luan Qing remained unconvinced, brought out another item to sweeten the offer.

• Xiao Hua introduced himself to Luan Qing and asked whether the Lingmou Zhu Fire could temper his grandmaster’s strange, heavy object.
• Luan Qing demonstrated the weakened Lingmou Zhu Fire and said the material likely required demonic fire or Demon Realm artifact-refining methods, though a heart-refining method might also work.
• Xiao Hua asked Luan Qing to trade the Lingmou Zhu Fire art, but Luan Qing initially refused to share the Luan family inheritance.
• Xiao Hua revealed that he possessed Samadhi True Fire and offered its fire art in exchange, but Luan Qing doubted its value for artifact refining.
• Xiao Hua argued that his complete Samadhi True Fire art was worth the trade and took out another item to add to his offer.

Xiao Hua traded a thousand-year-old Mother-Child Spirit Fruit and the Samadhi True Fire art with Luan Qing for the Luan family’s Lingmou Zhu Fire art. After realizing the art required a fire seed, Xiao Hua received a five-colored flame from Luan Qing, who then explained that the Luan family’s fire seeds had weakened over generations.

• Xiao Hua offered Luan Qing a thousand-year-old Mother-Child Spirit Fruit in exchange for the Lingmou Zhu Fire art.
• Luan Qing considered attacking Xiao Hua but abandoned the idea and traded the Lingmou Zhu Fire art for Xiao Hua’s Samadhi True Fire art.
• Xiao Hua discovered that Lingmou Zhu Fire required a fire seed and realized the art alone was of little use.
• Luan Qing gave Xiao Hua a five-colored fire seed, which Xiao Hua drew into his body.
• Luan Qing explained that the Luan family’s Lingmou Zhu Fire had once been immensely powerful but had weakened as its fire seeds became weaker and more mixed.

Xiao Hua left Luan's Shop after learning about the Lingmou Zhu Fire and discovered Xiao Xianrui there with Jiang Li and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When Jiang Li cruelly accused Xiao Xianrui of wasting the Hundred Herbs Sect's resources and hinted that she had come to meet Xiao Hua, a sudden slap stunned everyone in the shop.

• Xiao Hua reflected on Luan's explanation of the Lingmou Zhu Fire as he left Luan's Shop.
• Xiao Hua recognized Xiao Xianrui and Jiang Li outside the shop, along with a Foundation Establishment cultivator who stared at Xiao Xianrui.
• Luan Han warmly greeted Xiao Hua and traded sharp words with Jiang Li over his praise of Xiao Hua's generosity.
• Jiang Li accused Xiao Xianrui of coming to Weeping Moon City to find someone and suggested that person was Xiao Hua.
• Jiang Li insulted Xiao Xianrui for failing to reach Foundation Establishment after the Hundred Herbs Sect had spent resources raising her cultivation.
• A sudden disturbance in the shop's spiritual energy was followed by a crisp slap that left everyone stunned.

Xiao Hua confronted Yue Cong and Jiang Li in Luan's Shop, then left after giving Xiao Xianrui a peacock toy. Yue Cong secretly marked Xiao Hua and planned to take revenge once he left Weeping Moon City, while Xiao Hua searched unsuccessfully for the mark.

• Xiao Hua slapped Jiang Li and warned Yue Cong that he was a disciple of the Thunder Control Sect, prompting Yue Cong to withdraw his pressure and apologize.
• Xiao Hua introduced himself as Zhang Hua, exchanged greetings with Yue Cong, Jiang Li, and Xiao Xianrui, and bought a peacock toy.
• Xiao Hua gave the peacock to Xiao Xianrui before leaving Luan's Shop and changing his appearance in a shadowed place.
• Jiang Li complained about Xiao Hua, and Yue Cong told her he had marked Xiao Hua and would avenge her after Xiao Hua left Weeping Moon City.
• Xiao Xianrui departed with an escort of Hundred Herbs Sect disciples, while Xiao Hua reappeared and searched for Yue Cong's mark without finding it.
