Xiao Hua discovered the frozen remains of Dui Lei Palace disciples in Ice Spring and found a token linking them to the Thunder Control Sect. Though he initially chose to seek Xiao Mao rather than risk saving a Golden Core senior master, the chain of clues made him question whether fate had led him to rescue that senior master instead.

• Xiao Hua found a steaming lake where hot and cold springs erupted, and Ice Spring later released bloodied robes and mutilated corpses.
• Xiao Hua retrieved two storage bags from Ice Spring and found a Dui Lei Palace disciple’s token in one of them.
• Xiao Hua connected the dead cultivators to the Dui Lei Palace disciples he had encountered earlier and considered whether to help their endangered Golden Core senior master.
• Xiao Hua decided to prioritize saving Xiao Mao, believing the senior master’s peril was beyond his ability and that helping would expose his strength.
• As Xiao Hua flew over Ice Spring, he reconsidered whether the chain of events had brought him there to save the senior master rather than Xiao Mao.

Xiao Hua followed the karma surrounding a missing Golden Core senior master beneath Yin Yang Spring Mountain, where he discovered an immense underground spirit stone mine. Little Silver found a clean, water-filled tunnel but warned Xiao Hua that the way ahead was dangerously perilous, leaving him to investigate later.

• Xiao Hua tried to descend beneath the deep lake, sensed a strange blue pressure in the mountain, and decided to search for the trapped Golden Core senior master.
• Xiao Hua released Little Silver, which led him to a vein of rare azure water-attributed spirit stones.
• Xiao Hua mined the vein with puppets and discovered that Yin Yang Spring Mountain had once been an abandoned sword cultivator's spirit stone mine.
• Xiao Hua brought Little Silver out again, and it led him through the rock to a clean tunnel where water flowed deeper underground.
• Little Silver lay motionless to warn Xiao Hua of danger ahead, then led him back when he ordered it to retreat.

Xiao Hua followed Thunder Control Sect marks through a long tunnel and found a vast abyss where powerful gales swept downward. After being thrown onto a ledge, he crossed to a windless crack in the opposite cliff, where a faint light came from deep inside.

• Xiao Hua realized that the amount he could store in his space depended on the strength of his mind and prepared to continue through the tunnel with the Leaf Sun Fan for protection.
• Xiao Hua found Thunder Control Sect marks along the tunnel and reached its end, where a deep abyss filled with rushing water and powerful downward winds opened below him.
• Xiao Hua decided to descend into the abyss, but intersecting hurricanes overwhelmed his defenses and hurled him onto a broad ledge.
• Xiao Hua found no passage on the ledge and used wind escape to cross toward a faint light on the opposite cliff.
• Xiao Hua discovered a tall crack in the cliff, found no wind inside it, and saw that the light came from deeper within.

Xiao Hua explored a fissure where dense water-attributed spiritual qi weakened his fire techniques, then stumbled into a sword formation concealed around a massive stone pillar. Trapped with his true essence sealed and unable to move from his position, he continued defending himself with the As-You-Wish Staff.

• Xiao Hua found that the water-attributed spiritual qi extinguished the Leaf Sun Fan's fire dragon and weakened his Samadhi True Fire, so he relied on the As-You-Wish Staff.
• Xiao Hua walked deeper into the silent fissure, discovered that its spiritual qi was difficult to absorb but yielded abundant true essence, and spotted a massive stone pillar with green lights.
• Xiao Hua looked toward a flash on the pillar and triggered a hidden formation made by four flying swords, which enclosed him in a vast space filled with sword light.
• Xiao Hua shattered the incoming sword lights with the As-You-Wish Staff, but the formation sealed his true essence when he tried to use magic power.
• Xiao Hua retreated while fending off the swords, yet after walking for a meal's time he had not moved even half an inch.

Xiao Hua fought his way through a sword formation and found the mortally wounded Dui Miaoqing, a Thunder Control Sect Golden Core cultivator. Before dying, she entrusted him with a warning about the sword cultivators’ secret and her remains and inheritance, leaving Xiao Hua to find a way out and deliver the news.

• Xiao Hua used the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors and Big Dipper Divine Fist against the sword formation, then spotted another trapped cultivator through his Dharma Eye.
• Xiao Hua reached Dui Miaoqing, who confirmed her identity and learned that the message she had sent through her disciples had not reached the Thunder Control Sect.
• Xiao Hua shielded Dui Miaoqing with his As-You-Wish Staff as she explained that her Chaomeng Pearl and severe injuries could not keep her alive much longer.
• Dui Miaoqing told Xiao Hua that Dui Hui had discovered a sword-cultivator secret near the Swift Wind Snowfield and urged him to escape and report its importance to the Thunder Control Sect or Xuntian City.
• Dui Miaoqing entrusted Xiao Hua with her remains and inheritance, then died as the Chaomeng Pearl fell onto her chest.

Xiao Hua escaped the sword formation and discovered that a spindle-shaped rock pillar was the core of Yin Yang Spring Mountain. Convinced that fate had brought him there to expose the sword cultivators’ secret and help stop the war, he chose to investigate rather than leave.

• Xiao Hua used his Seven Star Great Formation to pass through the sword formation and collected Dui Hui’s corpse before escaping.
• Xiao Hua saw the enormous rock pillar and initially decided to leave the dangerous secret to stronger cultivators so he could focus on saving Xiao Mao.
• Xiao Hua felt an inexplicable pull toward the pillar, reconsidered his past experiences, and concluded that he had been led there to expose the sword cultivators’ secret and stop the war.
• Xiao Hua examined the pillar with his Dharma Eye and saw pale-blue radiance flowing toward its red-tinted upper tip and green-tinted lower tip, identifying it as the core of Yin Yang Spring Mountain.

Xiao Hua braved the opposing forces around the rock pillar and discovered that a fist-sized opening led into a vast space filled with Innate Water Qi. After squeezing through the opening, he lost his Primordial Spirit upon seeing the jade-green waves and bubbles within.

• Xiao Hua entered the rock pillar's abyssal range, found that greater spiritual power intensified the crushing pressure, and survived by relying on his physical strength.
• Xiao Hua approached the pillar's center, balanced the opposing upward and downward forces, and saw a green-lit area through his Dharma Eye.
• Xiao Hua circled the pillar and found a fist-sized hole, which he identified as an entrance to the Innate Jellyfish formed from Innate Water Qi.
• Xiao Hua twisted his body to squeeze through the hole and entered a space filled with jade-green waves and countless bubbles.
• Xiao Hua looked at the bubbles and immediately lost his Primordial Spirit.

Xiao Hua fought through the Innate True Water to reach Little White Dragon, who was trapped in a sword formation beneath a flying sword absorbing Taiwei Azure Light. After his staff and divine sense failed to break the trap, Xiao Hua used spirit fire to wrap around the Innate Golden Mother, leaving the flying sword sounding an alarm.

• Xiao Hua escaped the Innate True Water's illusions after hearing Little White Dragon's cry, then used the As-You-Wish Staff to push through the water and its crushing pressure.
• Xiao Hua found Little White Dragon suffering inside a sword formation while a flying sword absorbed Taiwei Azure Light and drew the dragon's soul toward it.
• Xiao Hua's Sleeve Universe was pierced by the flying sword, and his repeated staff blows failed to damage it.
• Xiao Hua tried to collect the Innate Jellyfish with his divine sense, but withdrew after its illusions overwhelmed him.
• Xiao Hua's Lingmou Zhu Fire melted into blue radiance, but his scarlet spirit fire reached the Innate Golden Mother and wrapped around it.
• The flying sword gave a mournful cry as Xiao Hua's spirit fire enclosed the Innate Golden Mother, Innate True Water, and Taiwei Azure Light.

Xiao Hua fought the Tai Wei Azure Light Sword to free Little White Dragon’s soul, enduring severe wounds as his blood helped the soul regain strength. Little White Dragon escaped the sword formation, but its soul faded again, and Xiao Hua called for Little Yellow.

• Xiao Hua collected the spirit fire and Innate Jellyfish into his space, but the Tai Wei Azure Light Sword fled with Little White Dragon trapped in its sword formation.
• Xiao Hua caught the sword formation with Sleeve Universe and battled the sword’s attacks, suffering deep wounds as pale blue light eroded his arm.
• Drops of Xiao Hua’s blood reached Little White Dragon, whose soul brightened and surged against the formation as the sword’s attacks lost track of it.
• Little White Dragon broke through the sword formation, and Xiao Hua struck the Tai Wei Azure Light Sword, which escaped through the hole in the rock pillar.
• Little White Dragon shrank and faded after its release, so Xiao Hua withdrew his divine sense and summoned Little Yellow from his space.

Xiao Hua rescued Little White Dragon’s fading soul by pulling it into Qi Heaven, where it began recovering near the Chansi Wood. He then gathered Innate True Water with the Chaomeng Pearl and found golden leaves in a bald cultivator’s storage bag, just like the Golden Rhythm Han Zhu from the Kunlun Sect.

• Little Yellow reacted violently to Little White Dragon’s soul, so Xiao Hua returned it to his space and used Soul Threads to pull Little White into Qi Heaven.
• Xiao Hua discovered that Little White Dragon enjoyed the Chansi Wood’s fragrance and drew it into Qi Heaven, where it thanked him and fell asleep as the wood’s aura flowed toward it.
• Xiao Hua examined his healing arm and decided to leave the stone pillar, but first refined the Chaomeng Pearl enough to absorb some of the Innate True Water.
• Xiao Hua searched the storage bags of Dui Miaoqing, Dui Hui, and the others for a container and found a cracked green jade bottle in a bald cultivator’s bag.
• Xiao Hua found several golden leaves in the bald cultivator’s storage bag that matched the Golden Rhythm Han Zhu from the Kunlun Sect.

Xiao Hua refined the Buddhist Pure Water Vase and used it to absorb most of the Innate True Water inside the stone pillar. As he escaped through the pillar, scorching Yang energy battered him until a red-skinned gourd pulled him toward its mouth, and he seized it with Sleeve Universe.

• Xiao Hua studied the Golden Kun scripts, identified the jade bottle as the Pure Water Vase, and refined it with the Buddha Sarira’s help.
• Xiao Hua activated the vase, which absorbed more than ninety percent of the Innate True Water before he stopped it to leave some for Yin Yang Spring Mountain.
• Xiao Hua was swept upward through the stone pillar and endured intense heat from the rock as he traveled through it.
• A red-skinned gourd’s suction pulled Xiao Hua toward its mouth, and he collected the gourd into his space with Sleeve Universe.
• Someone above cried out in surprise after Xiao Hua took the gourd.

Xiao Hua emerged in a cavern where Zhong Haoxuan, Liao Chengkong, and Bai Jie had been sacrificing Daoist cultivators to nurture a Yin Yang Sword Spirit, and he found the red-skinned sword gourd had disappeared. He killed Liao Chengkong and turned on Zhong Haoxuan and Bai Jie, leaving Bai Jie trapped beneath a new, deadly attack.

• Xiao Hua burst from a vent into the cavern, found seven dead Daoist cultivators, and realized Xiao Mao was not among them.
• Zhong Haoxuan recognized Xiao Hua as the thief of the sword gourd and attacked him with the Blazing Sun Sword.
• Xiao Hua used the As-You-Wish Staff to smash Liao Chengkong’s fist and kill him with a blow to the forehead.
• Xiao Hua damaged Zhong Haoxuan’s Blazing Sun Sword and blocked Bai Jie’s lightning sword with Palm Thunder.
• Bai Jie recognized Xiao Hua as the Thunder Control Sect’s Terrifying Phoenix, but Xiao Hua confined him with Sleeve Universe and struck his Niwan Palace.
• Xiao Hua sent an even stronger attack down toward the falling Bai Jie.

Xiao Hua killed Bai Jie and Zhong Haoxuan, then learned that Dao Sect disciples had been sacrificed to create a sword spirit and hurried toward Xiao Mao. He found Xiao Mao trapped beside a green-skinned sword gourd, where Sword Cultivators were beginning another blood sacrifice.

• Xiao Hua struck Bai Jie with his As-You-Wish Staff and burned Zhong Haoxuan’s transformed sword with Samadhi True Fire, escaping the swordsman’s explosion.
• Xiao Hua searched Bai Jie and Liao Chengkong’s storage bags, discovered a sword jade slip describing the blood sacrifice, and followed its route to find Xiao Mao.
• Xiao Hua found Xiao Mao and a gray-haired female cultivator bound by sword light beside the green-skinned gourd, with five Dao Sect cultivators already dead.
• Zhong Mingtian activated a skull-shaped soul talisman and ordered Feng Qing to sacrifice the gray-haired cultivator.
• Feng Qing pierced the female cultivator’s forehead with her flying sword, and Zhong Mingtian sent the talisman’s fireball into the wound before the blood could spray out.

Zhong Mingtian and Feng Qing continued sacrificing cultivators to refine the Green Gourd, relying on Yu Ming to contain a blood shadow that emerged during the process. When Xiao Hua arrived to attack them and free Xiao Mao, he killed Zhong Mingtian and turned his lightning toward Feng Qing.

• Zhong Mingtian extracted a female cultivator’s soul with the Soul Talisman, and Yu Ming pinned the escaping blood shadow until the Green Gourd swallowed them both.
• Zhong Mingtian and Feng Qing waited for Zhong Haoxuan’s group, but no one arrived as the Green Gourd began swelling again.
• Zhong Mingtian began the final sacrifice and Feng Qing lifted Xiao Mao, but Yu Ming sensed someone near the cave entrance.
• Xiao Mao’s restraints broke, and Yu Ming bound him again as Feng Qing tried to stab him with her flying sword.
• Xiao Hua appeared behind Feng Qing, stopped her attack with a restraining force, and struck her and Zhong Mingtian with Palm Thunder.
• Zhong Mingtian’s exhausted defense failed, and she fell dead as the Soul Talisman fireball swelled out of control; Feng Qing tried to flee while fighting Xiao Hua’s lightning.

Xiao Hua killed Feng Qing and Zhong Mingtian, then turned Rain Ming’s Soul Talisman fragments against him. Rain Ming went mad and escaped through a crystal pillar, leaving Xiao Hua to free Xiao Mao and reunite with him.

• Xiao Hua killed Feng Qing and Zhong Mingtian, while Rain Ming detonated the Soul Talisman fireball and tried to flee.
• Xiao Hua sealed the cave entrance and used the fireball fragments to strike Rain Ming, whose own water-based attacks turned against him.
• Rain Ming recovered, attacked Xiao Hua with exploding crystal beads, then went mad and vanished into a crystal pillar in the rock wall.
• Xiao Hua failed to follow Rain Ming through the pillar and freed Xiao Mao from his restraints.
• Xiao Hua told Xiao Mao not to kneel to him, gave him a Youth-Preserving Pill, and watched him swallow it without asking what it was.

Xiao Hua used Zhong Mingtian’s soul to finish tempering the Yin Yang Sword Spirit, then buried the dead with Xiao Mao before discovering Xiao Mao’s feelings for a fellow disciple named Qin Jian. As Xiao Hua taught Xiao Mao the Dragon Transformation Art, a powerful divine sense swept toward them from Xuntian City, and Xiao Hua urgently changed their course.

• Xiao Hua fed Zhong Mingtian’s soul into the Green Gourd to temper the Yin Yang Sword Spirit, then retrieved the Chaomeng Pearl’s Innate True Water.
• Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao collected the dead cultivators’ belongings and buried nearly twenty sword cultivators and Daoist cultivators together.
• Xiao Mao discovered that the Youth-Preserving Pill had restored his youthful appearance and asked Xiao Hua for another pill to give Qin Jian.
• Xiao Mao told Xiao Hua he had advanced to the mid Foundation Establishment stage and asked questions about the secret technique and Dragon Transformation Art.
• Xiao Hua taught Xiao Mao as they flew, then sensed danger and changed their direction just before a powerful divine sense swept over from Xuntian City.

They reunited with Li Zongbao and met Gao Chengyuan, who recognized Xiao Hua for rescuing Xunyan Sect disciples; Xiao Mao joined Li Zongbao’s squad to hunt Qin Jian.

• A Sword Transformation Swordsman swept Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao with his divine sense, disrupted their true essence, then flew toward Yin Yang Spring Mountain without attacking them.
• Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao pretended to keep flying before turning toward the Swift Wind Snowfield, where Xiao Hua continued teaching Xiao Mao the Dragon Transformation Art.
• Xiao Hua used his token to meet Li Zongbao and Gao Chengyuan, who thanked him for rescuing several hundred Xunyan Sect disciples and promised him credit for the deed.

• Xiao Mao volunteered to join Xiao Hua and Li Zongbao in hunting Qin Jian, and Gao Chengyuan authorized his addition to Li Zongbao’s Council Hall squad.

Xiao Hua, Li Zongbao, and Xiao Mao discussed Yun Zichong’s growing reputation and planned to return to Xuntian City while reporting a sword-cultivator secret to the Council Hall. After traveling for more than ten days, they heard magical treasures roaring ahead, and Li Zongbao called out to protect Daoist sect disciples.

• Xiao Mao praised Li Zongbao and learned that Fairy Hongxia had reached late Foundation Establishment, while Li said he would eventually yield his reputation to Xiao Hua.
• Xiao Hua asked where they would find Qin Jian, and Li explained that Gao Chengyuan’s group planned to attack a Xunyan Sect spirit stone mine before they returned toward Xuntian City.
• Xiao Hua told Li that a deceased Thunder Control Sect Grandmaster had uncovered a sword-cultivator secret connected to the war, and Li urged him to report it to the Council Hall without revealing anything he wished to keep private.
• Xiao Hua piloted the Flowing Cloud Flying Boat while Xiao Mao sought his guidance during their journey of more than ten days.
• Li Zongbao sensed magical treasures roaring ahead and shouted for the attackers not to harm the Daoist sect disciples.

Zhang Qingxiao revealed that he had deliberately sparked the Great Sword Dao Battle to draw out the Nascent Soul cultivator who killed his master and the sect that destroyed Shang Hua Ming.

• Li Zongbao and Xiao Mao joined a battle to help Qianye Ridge disciples, but Xiao Hua recognized the Bright Bell and called Li Zongbao back.

• Zhang Qingxiao admitted that he had abducted Zhang Yutong to reignite the war and expose those responsible for his master's murder and Shang Hua Ming's destruction.

Xiao Hua and Zhang Qingxiao argued over the Sword Cultivator Great Battle before Zhang Qingxiao revealed a threat from another demonic cultivator and asked Xiao Hua to protect Zhang Yutong if needed. They also discussed Jiang Liuer’s inability to cultivate, and Xiao Hua gave Zhang Qingxiao a Buddhist cultivation technique to try for him.

• Xiao Hua condemned Zhang Qingxiao for provoking the war, while Zhang Qingxiao insisted he would do anything to avenge Shang Hua Ming and said the war had been driven by the sword cultivators’ greed.
• Zhang Qingxiao said he had sent Zhang Yutong back to Huan Kingdom, revealed that she already knew his identity, and asked Xiao Hua to help her if she came to him.

• Li Zongbao used his command token to guide the Flowing Cloud Flying Boat through snow-covered peaks, where several identical boats belonging to the Seven Wonders Sect appeared.

Xiao Hua clashed with Seven Wonders Sect disciples who demanded he return a Flowing Cloud Flying Boat he had seized from sword cultivators, but a Golden Core cultivator stopped the confrontation. The cultivator recognized Xiao Hua from five years earlier and was surprised to learn that none of the Thunder Control Sect First Squad had been lost, leaving Xiao Hua wondering whether the other six had returned.

• Xiao Hua refused Zhu Qingjie’s demand to return the Flowing Cloud Flying Boat and stored it away.
• Zhu Qingjie prepared to fight Xiao Hua, but Li Zongbao and a Golden Core cultivator called for them to stop.
• The Golden Core cultivator ordered Zhu Qingjie to prioritize his mission, and the Seven Wonders Sect disciples departed after exchanging threats with Xiao Hua.
• The Golden Core cultivator recognized Xiao Hua as a Thunder Control Sect disciple who had left through his Teleportation Array five years earlier.
• Xiao Hua declared that no one from the Thunder Control Sect First Squad had been lost, and the cultivator expressed surprise because he thought only three female members had survived.

Xiao Hua, Li Zongbao, and Xiao Mao returned to Xuntian City, where Xiao Hua learned that Tu Hong was celebrating a happy occasion and renewed his intention to kill him. Their arrival was followed by news that Xunyan Sect's attack on a spirit stone mine had ended in disaster, leaving the cultivators at the Teleportation Array stunned.
