Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yi Xian and Jiang Yun learned that a fallen Dou Di’s evil energy had contaminated the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and Xiao Yi Xian began purifying it with the tree’s Bodhi Seeds. While they cultivated inside, the Emperor Clans confronted the gathered cultivators outside and used force to restrict who could approach the tree.

• Xiao Yi Xian watched the Bodhi Ancient Tree and a Black-Robed Dou Di battle, while Jiang Yun suspected the Dou Di belonged to the Outer Realm Evil Clan.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree sent Xiao Yi Xian information revealing that it wanted help removing the evil intelligence left by the dead Dou Di, then supplied her with more than twenty pure Bodhi Seeds.

• After a burly cultivator challenged the restriction, a white-haired elder killed him with one blow; Yao Wangui explained that the Yao Clan supported the plan partly because it wanted to hinder Jiang Yun.
