Eldest Princess Zi Ning brought Lin Shisan and Bai Youyou to a hidden chamber to study the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra, which she said shared an origin with Lin Shisan’s Hornless Dragon True Spirit. As Lin Shisan began to sense faint patterns in the sutra, Zi Ning waited outside, wondering whether he would succeed where another man had once tried.

• Zi Ning led Lin Shisan and Bai Youyou through a secluded passage to a chamber filled with spiritual energy and gave Lin Shisan ten days to study the sutra.
• Zi Ning invited Bai Youyou to remain and cultivate in the chamber while Lin Shisan studied.

• Zi Ning waited outside the chamber and sensed the sutra’s aura faintly mingling with the Dragon Spirit’s, recalling a man who had once opened the fragmentary sutra.

Lin Shisan failed to comprehend the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra after ten days, while Bai Youyou broke through to the Yellow Dragon Realm. They left the Dragon Palace to avoid Zi Yuner’s coronation, but the Teleportation Array began to behave strangely as they activated it.

• Eldest Princess Zi Ning and the Purple Sky Dragon King waited outside the Stone Chamber while Lin Shisan tried to awaken a response from the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra.

• Lin Shisan left the Stone Chamber empty-handed, and Zi Ning told him to keep the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra and invited him to Zi Yuner’s coronation.
• Lin Shisan declined the invitation and asked to leave immediately, so Zi Ning arranged the Teleportation Array in the eastern Side Hall.
• Lin Shisan and Bai Youyou activated the array, but Lin Shisan felt an unusual tremor and sensed that the teleportation was going wrong.

Lin Shisan, Bai Youyou, and Zi Yuner were trapped in a sealed chamber by Mo Jiao, who revealed his revenge plot against the Purple Sky Dragon Palace and exposed them to Yin-Yang Union Powder. The chapter ended with Mo Jiao threatening Bai Youyou’s life while Lin Shisan and Zi Yuner faced a four-hour deadline.

• Lin Shisan woke in a sealed bridal chamber with restrained Bai Youyou and Zi Yuner, and learned Bai Youyou’s chain was linked to the chamber’s restrictions.
• Mo Jiao appeared in the ceiling’s luminous pearl and revealed that Zi Tianya was his son, born from a past relationship with Zi Yuner’s great-grandmother.
• Mo Jiao said Zi Yuner’s father had only days to live and planned to disqualify her from becoming Dragon King by projecting images of her with Lin Shisan.

• Mo Jiao gave Lin Shisan four hours and threatened to strangle Bai Youyou if he did not get the result he wanted.

After Zi Yuner lured Mo Jiao into the chamber, Lin Shisan and Zi Yuner freed Bai Youyou and destroyed Mo Jiao, leaving him dead with his soul obliterated.

• Lin Shisan secretly used the Little Black Cauldron to purify the drug while pretending it had overcome him, and Zi Yuner and Bai Youyou played along.

• Lin Shisan activated Chaos Space as Mo Jiao landed, slowing him while Zi Yuner cut the silver chain binding Bai Youyou with the Golden Rune Dagger.
• Lin Shisan struck Mo Jiao with the Little Black Cauldron, fracturing his body and drawing his fragments and Divine Sense into the cauldron.

Lin Shisan used Mo Jiao’s memories to find the Purple Sky Dragon King, who was trapped and dying in the Dragon Palace’s earth vein. With Zi Yuner hoping the Little Black Cauldron could remove the poison consuming her father, Lin Shisan agreed to try, though he warned that success and the cost were uncertain.

• Mo Jiao’s Divine Sense fragments showed Lin Shisan that Mo Jiao had sealed the Purple Sky Dragon King away from spiritual energy, leaving him near death.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King gave Zi Yuner advice about ruling the Dragon Palace and visiting her Third Aunt.
• Zi Yuner silently asked Lin Shisan to use the Little Black Cauldron to remove her father’s poison, and Lin Shisan agreed to try with no guarantee of success or safety.

Lin Shisan used the Little Black Cauldron to extract much of the death energy from the Purple Sky Dragon King's restriction, but the roots remained. After the Dragon King showed interest in the cauldron, Lin Shisan hid it and pretended to suffer a backlash, leaving the Dragon King’s treatment unfinished.

• Lin Shisan sensed that Mo Jiao had planted a vitality-devouring restriction inside the Purple Sky Dragon King and began stripping it away with the Little Black Cauldron.

The Purple Sky Dragon King ordered the Dragon Scale Guards to test Lin Shisan, while Eldest Princess Zi Ning warned him that the former king would keep trying to kill him. Zi Ning offered Lin Shisan a marriage to Zi Yuner and a Dragon Lord’s position for protection, but he refused, leaving Bai Youyou to invite the exhausted Zi Yuner to drink until dawn.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King told the Dragon Scale Guards commander to test Lin Shisan secretly, and Lin Shisan told Bai Youyou he was gambling that the old king feared death more than he did.
• Zi Yuner took Lin Shisan and Bai Youyou to meet Eldest Princess Zi Ning, explaining that Mo Jiao had left secret orders for a patrol unit that she could not control.
• Zi Ning said she had stopped the patrol guards for the night and warned Lin Shisan that the Purple Sky Dragon King would continue to target him.
• Zi Ning offered to make Lin Shisan Zi Yuner’s Dragon Lord and husband, promising him status and protection while escorting Bai Youyou safely out of the Dragon Palace.
• Lin Shisan refused the offer and said he would stay only to treat the Purple Sky Dragon King, not to marry Zi Yuner or take a Dragon Palace position.
• Zi Yuner admitted that her father still controlled the Dragon Palace’s true authority, and Bai Youyou took her by the hand and proposed they drink until dawn.

Lin Shisan woke beside Zi Yuner after a drunken night and learned that Bai Youyou had left the Dragon Palace. As Zi Yuner promised to protect him and let him choose where to live, Lin Shisan was left holding Bai Youyou’s letter and pendant.

• Lin Shisan woke naked beside Zi Yuner and struggled to piece together his blurred memories of the night he, Bai Youyou, and Zi Yuner had all been drinking.

• Zi Yuner left for the day and asked Lin Shisan to wait for her to return for lunch, while he held Bai Youyou’s silver chain and scale pendant.

Zi Yuner sought Zi Gang’s help to stop her father from attacking Lin Shisan, warning that Lin was now her promised Dragon Lord and the only one who could remove the restriction inside him. Zi Gang agreed to oppose an attack until the former Dragon King recovered, while Lin Shisan received gifts from his future father-in-law and recognized the Cave-Heaven Magnetic Mountain’s powerful dragon spirit.

• Zi Yuner brought the Dragon Heart Jade to Dragon Snow Mountain and asked Zi Gang to persuade her father not to attack Lin Shisan.
• Zi Gang agreed that the Dragon Palace must protect its reputation and promised Dragon Snow Mountain would not support an attack while the former Dragon King recovered, though his private guards might still act.
• The Dragon Scale Guard commander delivered Lin Shisan jade bottles, the Cave-Heaven Magnetic Mountain, and a jade talisman granting him access to the former Dragon King’s bedchamber.
• Lin Shisan called himself the former Dragon King’s son-in-law, promised to treat him, and warned the commander about a hidden rat.
• After the commander left, Lin Shisan summoned the Cave-Heaven Magnetic Mountain and sensed its rich dragon spirit.

Lin Shisan used the grotto-heaven Magnetic Mountain to break through to the ninth meridian opening, advancing his Hornless Dragon True Spirit and three-star Dao Seed. Meanwhile, Bai Youyou returned to Zi Tianya's Prince's Residence through a collapsing Teleportation Array, but Black Wind's remnant soul perished and she lost consciousness.

After Lin Shisan advanced to the ninth level, the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra revealed a few faint strokes linked to the dragon spirit within him. Zi Yuner protected him from political threats and offered to help him cultivate at Dragon Spirit Lake, leaving him considering another breakthrough.

• Zi Yuner offered to help Lin Shisan gain access to Dragon Spirit Lake and explained that she had also asked the Grand Supreme Elder to restrain her father's private guards and delay dragon-vein access arrangements.

Lin Shisan treated the Purple Sky Dragon King’s Gu Poison and discovered that the old king’s life was still steadily fading. The Dragon King revealed his guilt over his daughter Zi Yuner’s lonely childhood and planned to retreat to Dragonback Mountain after securing her future.

• Lin Shisan used the Little Black Cauldron to draw more residual Gu Poison from the Purple Sky Dragon King, but sensed that the king’s life force was fundamentally depleted.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King said he would withdraw to remote Dragonback Mountain and spend his remaining days there without interfering in Zi Yuner’s life.

Lin Shisan learned that the Purple Sky Dragon King had risked his remaining life to test and secure a future for Zi Yuner, hoping Lin Shisan would protect her after he was gone. As Lin Shisan and Zi Yuner walked together, she explained that Dragonback Mountain was tied to an ancient legend of a father becoming a ridge to shield his son.

• Zi Yuner told Lin Shisan the legend of Wish-Repayment Ridge, where an old dragon became a mountain to protect his son from heavenly punishment.
• Lin Shisan understood that the Purple Sky Dragon King had chosen Dragonback Mountain as his own final refuge, and Zi Yuner said she would let him go there if he wished.

Bai Youyou faced the Purple Sky Dragon King in the rear garden and tried to persuade him that killing her would damage Yun'er’s chances of winning Lin Shisan’s heart. He rejected her argument and unleashed an attack that crushed her cultivation and forced her to her knee.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King struck Bai Youyou down and said she should not have returned, while she insisted she only wanted to know whether Lin Shisan was well.
• Bai Youyou warned that killing her would leave Lin Shisan with lasting guilt, but the Purple Sky Dragon King accused her of trying to interfere in Yun'er’s relationship with him.

Lin Shisan spent forty days sitting in stillness at the place where Bai Youyou had left a private mark, gradually cultivating the Dragon Breath Art and reaching the Yellow Dragon Realm. His breakthrough manifested as a Fortune Golden Dragon above the Dragon Palace, fulfilling the Purple Sky Dragon King's requirement for Zi Yuner's path into the Three Flowers Realm.

• Lin Shisan remained kneeling in the rear garden, studying signs that someone had disturbed a flagstone and finding silver powder on the nearby artificial mountain.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King watched Lin Shisan's breakthrough with relief, while Eldest Princess Zi Ning asked whether he had waited forty days.

After breaking through to the Yellow Dragon Realm, Lin Shisan told the Purple Sky Dragon King he would remain as Dragon Lord if his three conditions were met. He chose to pursue his own future with Zi Yuner, leaving for the Dragon Vein Core before planning to visit her Bedchamber.

• Zi Yuner welcomed Lin Shisan after his breakthrough, and they went together to meet the Purple Sky Dragon King.

• The Purple Sky Dragon King agreed to all three conditions and promised to consult the Grand Elders about the Dragon Vein Core.
• Lin Shisan told Zi Yuner he would choose his own direction, and she said she would choose with him.
• Lin Shisan held Zi Yuner's hand and said he would visit her Bedchamber after returning from the Dragon Vein and stabilizing his Yellow Dragon Dao Fruit; Zi Yuner blushed and nodded.

Lin Shisan used the dragon vein core to awaken twenty-three rune fragments in the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra, confirming that a sealed presence lay deeper within it. He then went with Zi Yuner to Wish-Repayment Ridge and told the Purple Sky Dragon King that he needed to return to the core.

• Zi Yuner opened the hidden entrance to the dragon vein and waited outside while Lin Shisan entered.
• Lin Shisan reached the dragon vein core and used its spiritual power to activate the Wordless Fragmentary Sutra.

Lin Shisan continued cultivating as he planned to investigate where the array led, and Bai Youyou waited for her injuries to heal.

She ordered her guard to keep tracking him, convinced she could reclaim the power without killing him, as Zi Yuner waited for Lin Shisan to return.

The chapter ended with Zi Yuner asking what would happen if the array sent him somewhere too far away to come back.

Lin Shisan prepared to leave through the Dragon Vein Core’s Teleportation Array, but Eldest Princess Zi Ning appeared and demanded that he surrender the Dragon Spirit. Zi Ning restrained Zi Yuner and began counting down, leaving Lin Shisan facing the threat of losing the Dragon Spirit or watching Zi Yuner suffer.
