Two years later, Yun Ying transformed her bloodline while the Kunpeng Nest neared its opening. She arrived with Yun Xi at the gathered forces, where the Sea God's descendant blocked their path.
Yun Ying faced a coalition of powerful sea races determined to force her out, while the Primordial Sacred Mountain’s fighters were blocked from helping. She unleashed Instant Ice Blossom, freezing the sea and most of the coalition’s forces, then raised an Ice Sword as sword qi descended on the surviving leaders.
Yun Ying crushed the sea race’s assault and forced the gathered heroes to abandon their attempt to stop the Primordial Sacred Mountains. After rejoining her allies, she learned that Qing Yun had been killed and eaten by Bear Child, while Qing Ming appeared to be seeking revenge.
Bear Child arrived at the rocky island and defeated an Azure Sky Sacred Mountain servant and Qing Ming, establishing his strength as the Kunpeng Nest neared its opening. After provoking Qing Ming and noticing Yun Ying, Bear Child headed toward the people of Heavenly God Mountain.
Yun Ying led the rush into the opened Kunpeng Nest and reached its deepest altar, where she found a rune-covered golden bone. The broken Heavenly Desolation gave no response as she approached, and the chapter ended with Yun Ying facing the bone on the central platform.
Yun Ying comprehended the incomplete legacy on Kun Peng's Original Talisman Bone while the other experts rushed to stop her and seize the treasures on the altar. She learned that the complete Kun Peng Precious Technique was hidden elsewhere as part of the trial, then left the talisman bone behind.
Yun Ying finished comprehending the remaining portion of Kun Peng's incomplete inheritance and promised the Heavenly Desolation that she would protect its master's future inheritor when needed. She left the rune bone behind for the assembled cultivators, who immediately fought over it, while Qing Ming and others continued pressing her about the complete technique.
Yun Ying gave up pursuing the complete Kun Peng Precious Technique and shared the runes she had learned with Heavenly God Mountain, while warning her servants that the other factions would fail to unite their talisman fragments. After the factions divided the Kun Peng Talisman Bone, Yun Xi finished memorizing Yun Ying’s runes and asked why she had abandoned the complete technique.
Yun Ying and Yun Xi left the Kun Peng restricted zone as Venerables fought over the scattered pieces of the Kun Peng Talisman Bone, while Yun Canghai prepared to protect his granddaughters. Aboard the treasure ship, Yun Ying began breaking through to the Inscription Realm, and a mysterious purple-gold radiance appeared on her back.
Yun Ying awakened and began evolving the Celestial Clan’s bloodline mark before successfully breaking through to the middle stage of the Inscription Realm. The battle for the Kun Peng Talisman Bone ended with heavy losses and the Primordial Sacred Mountains claiming the greatest gains, while Yun Ying returned to Heavenly God Mountain.
Yun Ying and Yun Xi discussed marriage proposals and whether Bear Child had survived the Demon Transformation Cave, then Yun Ying played the zither for her sister. The chapter ended with Yun Ying meditating beside Heavenly God Mountain’s Sacred Medicine, the Soul-Attracting Lotus.
Yun Ying completed her sword soul refinement and traveled with Yun Xi and other sacred-mountain youths to the Stone Kingdom Imperial Capital for the Stone Emperor’s birthday banquet. There, she heard about Shi Hao’s upheavals in the capital but remained detached, saying she could not judge his experiences.
Yun Ying attended the Stone Emperor’s birthday banquet with Yun Xi and Yin Xue, drawing awe from the gathered cultivators with her beauty and mysterious state of unity between heaven and man. While she waited alone at the banquet, Shi Hao arrived and greeted her, leaving onlookers stunned by their familiarity and her smile.
Shi Hao reunited with Yun Ying at the banquet and learned that her cultivation and bloodline had advanced remarkably. Yun Ying defended him from the Primordial Sacred Mountain youths, and the chapter ended with Shi Hao eating noisily beside Yun Ying and Yun Xi at the birthday banquet.
At the Stone Emperor’s birthday banquet, Shi Hao defeated a golden spider from Demon Spirit Lake and roasted its legs, provoking the spider’s Venerable. The Stone Emperor intervened and ordered any fight to take place at the Military Drill Ground.
At the Stone Emperor’s birthday banquet, Shi Hao summoned a terrifying red-haired whirlwind that killed the Venerables from Demon Spirit Lake and Azure Sky Sacred Mountain, earning him the title Wild Heaven Heavenly Marquis. As Yun Ying warned him that power and ambition could be beyond his control, she revealed a strange vision formed from wine.
After Yun Ying revealed that she had comprehended her own Dao, Shi Hao learned she was already in the late stage of the Inscription Realm. Months later, Yun Ying transformed her entire body and spirit into a divine sword, astonishing Yun Canghai with her power.
Yun Ying reached the Array Formation Realm and displayed a profound understanding of Sword Dao before agreeing to watch Shi Hao and Shi Yi’s decisive battle. At the crowded Sky Battlefield, the girls’ arrival drew attention, while the leaders of Roc Sacred Mountain and Taotie Sacred Mountain tried to arrange introductions with their grandsons; Yun Canghai left the choice to Yun Ying and Yun Xi.
Shi Hao and Shi Yi fought on the Sky Battlefield, where Shi Hao won after Shi Yi’s attack awakened the Supreme Bone within him. Gravely wounded afterward, Shi Hao faced a crowd coveting the Bronze Book Fragments awarded to him.
Jinbe arrived on the Sky Battlefield and tried to recruit Shi Hao before attacking Yun Ying with six precious techniques. Yun Ying cut them apart with her peerless sword intent, setting a record equal to the ancient gods and leaving Jinbe wary.
Yun Ying inscribed her name on the Record Stele and gave Shi Hao a Bronze Book Fragment, bringing him one fragment away from completing the set. After Yun Ying left, a displeased young man summoned Yue Chan and the gathered experts discussed Yun Ying’s extraordinary strength.
Yun Ying and Yun Xi discussed the approaching calamity and the mystery surrounding the peacock as upheaval spread through the Desolate Region. A year later, they learned Shi Hao had appeared in the Fire Kingdom and set out to find him and ask him to return the peacock.
Yun Ying and Yun Xi traveled from Heavenly God Mountain to the Fire Kingdom to seek rare formation materials and attend Huo Ling'er's gathering, where they hoped to learn whether Shi Hao had appeared. They arrived at the Royal Villa and began seeking trades, but had not yet found Shi Hao or the materials they needed.
Yun Ying appeared at a confrontation involving Shi Hao and the outside-region experts, recognizing him beneath his disguised appearance. Her mastery of the Sword Dao intimidated the Array Formation Realm kings and halted their pressure on him.
Shi Hao faced the Flame Python Clan, Black Cloud Clan, Fire Bull Clan, and Immortal Mountain after they came seeking revenge, but Yun Ying declined to protect him. Shi Hao killed the Fire Bull Clan king with one punch, and Qin Shoucheng brought out the Five Elements Ring to subdue him before Yun Ying revealed her own five-elements sword power.
