Chen Beiwu bargained with Lu Lei, Xiao Qing, and Yu Pan over the corruption surrounding Qingsu Island, accepting a bribe while pretending to cooperate. In Xiao Qing’s private chamber, he revealed his real intentions by activating a formation, leaving her trapped as Yu Pan witnessed the Eight-Gate Mind-Confusing Formation rise.

• Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg refined the Moonheaven Dew and Withered Thunder Branch, restoring balance between the Azure Wood Spirit Seed and Clear Vast Spirit Seed.
• Chen Beiwu learned the spirit seeds would take three to five years to transform and wondered whether improving his Qi Refining Aperture Condensation Method could shorten the process.
• Chen Beiwu stayed away from the sect while Senior Sister Yun dealt with the situation on Qingsu Island, then traveled toward the Mystic Spirit Lake with Golden Egg and Iron Egg.
• Chen Beiwu spotted a spider-like beast near a cliff and told Golden Egg to capture it alive.
• Golden Egg attacked the beast, but it revealed itself as a pitch-black snake with ghost-face markings and coiled around Golden Egg.

Chen Beiwu watched Golden Egg kill a Spider-Tailed Ghost-Faced Viper after it ambushed him, then encountered a wounded Azure Thunder Tiger fleeing from Pei Xiao and his Sand-Roaming Falcon. As Chen Beiwu prepared to leave, the cornered tiger suddenly gathered strength to fight rather than submit.

• The Spider-Tailed Ghost-Faced Viper ambushed Golden Egg, but its fangs broke against his scales, and Golden Egg crushed it with a tail sweep.
• Chen Beiwu reminded Golden Egg to use his divine sense, then sensed the injured Azure Thunder Tiger racing nearby as Iron Egg warned of danger.
• Chen Beiwu hid with Golden Egg and prepared the Ten Directions Gate, then followed the tiger after hearing an eagle cry and realizing it was pursued.

• Chen Beiwu decided to leave, but the Azure Thunder Tiger suddenly surged with power and showed it would rather die than submit.

Pei Xiao pursued the wounded Azure Thunder Tiger to the Mystic Spirit Lake, where a mysterious formation helped the tiger turn the fight around. The tiger survived Pei Xiao’s deadly arrow with a mutated innate ability and tore the Sand-Swimming Falcon in half.

• Pei Xiao used his Windbreaking Spirit Bow to wound the Azure Thunder Tiger while pursuing it toward the Mystic Spirit Lake, and Chen Beiwu quietly followed.

• The Azure Thunder Tiger emerged with a mutated Thunder Wraith ability, caught the Sand-Swimming Falcon, and tore it in half.

The Azure Thunder Tiger killed Pei Xiao after a brutal battle, but Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg attacked the wounded beast. The tiger appeared to defeat them with Thunder Wraith Entanglement, only for an ink-black Spirit Sword to behead it from behind.

• Chen Beiwu recalled Golden Egg after the Azure Thunder Tiger’s defeat, then pinned and destroyed the ghost tiger that rose from the tiger’s corpse.
• Chen Beiwu summoned Iron Egg and, the next morning, processed the tiger and falcon carcasses into food for himself and his pets.
• Chen Beiwu took the falcon-controlling cultivator’s Storage Ring and buried the cultivator with Golden Egg’s help.
• Chen Beiwu refined the Storage Ring’s imprint and found spirit stones, cultivation supplies, three spiritual artifacts, and three sealed jade boxes.

Chen Beiwu examined the sealed treasures and discovered rare materials, including marrow blood from a Third-Realm Rift-Splitting Golden Peng, though none suited his immediate needs. He then identified the rusty bracelet in the Storage Ring as the Windplume Pei Clan’s Soul-Contract Lock, a spiritual artifact designed to subdue and control eagle demon beasts.

• Chen Beiwu opened a jade box and found Five-Pollution Earth Marrow, which could advance an earth-attribute spirit beast’s bloodline but risked corrupting its soul.

• Chen Beiwu opened the last box with his Cold Pool Spirit Sword and found marrow blood from a Third-Realm Rift-Splitting Golden Peng.

Chen Beiwu deciphered the formations protecting Spirit Lake and crossed safely to its central island, where he found a ruined wooden house and a set of remains. He left the chapter at the threshold of discovering what the remains concealed.

• Chen Beiwu tested Spirit Lake’s formation with twigs and sent Golden Egg to find a swimming Spirit Monster that could follow instructions.
• Chen Beiwu used a Grayrock Rat to confirm that the lake held both a Spirit-Gathering Formation and a deadly ice formation whose shifting paths could be navigated.

• Chen Beiwu reached the central island, killed two more Jade-Scale King Snakes with Golden Egg, and entered a ruined wooden house.
• Chen Beiwu discovered remains seated on a meditation cushion inside the house.

Chen Beiwu examined the books and records in Qian Yuan’s cabin, learning how the former owner had searched in vain for his ancestor’s tomb and left incomplete legacies. When Chen Beiwu broke the restriction on Qian Yuan’s Storage Ring, a spectral soul attacked him, but he cut it down and stopped Golden Egg from eating it.

• Chen Beiwu found a formation manual, an incomplete artifact-forging legacy, and a partial copy of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul-Devouring Formation in the cabin.
• Chen Beiwu read Qian Yuan’s record and learned that the cultivator had lost his Lineage to the Yun Household and had spent over two centuries searching for his ancestor’s tomb at Mystic Spirit Lake.

• Chen Beiwu split the spectral soul with Cold Pool and stopped Golden Egg from consuming it.

Chen Beiwu asked Zhao Changge to assess an ancient formation and learned it was a sinister corpse-refining formation rather than one for suppressing evil. After leaving the teahouse, he asked Chen Qin where he could hear the Cleansing Spirit Tune.

• Chen Beiwu showed Zhao Changge an incomplete formation he had found in a secondhand market, and she recognized it as an ancient third-tier heavenly formation.
• Zhao Changge realized the formation’s clues revealed it was a Corpse-Refining Evil Formation, and Chen Beiwu agreed to stop studying it.
• Chen Beiwu declined Xu Lingling’s invitation to go fishing and left, while Xu Lingling and Xu Ziqing discussed how he had changed.
• Chen Beiwu met Chen Qin outside their residential complex and asked where he could hear the Cleansing Spirit Tune.

Chen Beiwu learned about booking a Cleansing Spirit Tune and joined a livestream, where he caught a valuable Jade-Pupil Salmon. After a viewer asked him to identify a strange fish, Chen Beiwu proposed trading fish, leaving the exchange unresolved.

• Chen Qin told Chen Beiwu about the three music establishments offering the Cleansing Spirit Tune and recommended Cloud Sound Pavilion’s master, Su Miao, if he could afford the fee.

• Chen Beiwu resumed livestreaming at Still Abyss West Lake and caught a Jade-Pupil Salmon while talking with his viewers.
• A viewer named Guess Who I Am showed Chen Beiwu a strange fish, and Chen Beiwu proposed trading it for the Jade-Pupil Salmon.

Chen Beiwu explained the value of a Ferrying Fish to a livestream viewer and negotiated a trade, while nearby Still Abyss West Lake staff watched him fish. His next catch was a suitcase that appeared to contain human remains, renewing the livestream’s excitement as Chen Beiwu reflected that bad luck still followed him.

Yun Yishu explained that Yu Pan had atoned by returning her stolen spirit stones, but the Justice Hall still lacked enough evidence to reach the higher-ups.

• Chen Beiwu brought home a Jade-Pupil Salmon and explained that he had given its tender portions to Xu Ziqing and Xu Lingling; at the Xu Residence, the women discussed his feelings and their rivalry over him.
• Chen Beiwu teleported to a safe cave near Qingsu Island, retrieved Yun Yishu’s message, and decided it was time to return to the sect.
• Three days later, Chen Beiwu met Yun Yishu at the Formation Hall, where she warned that Lu Lei and the other corrupt officials had influential backers.
• Yun Yishu identified Li Yuanhua and Zhao Wuji as suspects and said the Justice Hall could not question them without conclusive evidence.
• Yun Yishu explained that Yu Pan had confessed, returned ninety-seven thousand low-grade spirit stones, and provided intelligence, while Lu Lei, Wei Bichun, and Xiao Qing had fled.

Chen Beiwu learned that the Mirror Moon Sect’s powerful factions protected corrupt cultivators, then visited the imprisoned Yu Pan to negotiate for her hawk, Little Gray. Yu Pan refused to sell the hawk but offered to become Chen Beiwu’s Dao companion instead.

• Yun Yishu told Chen Beiwu that Lu Lei and the other suspects were dead, and explained how the sect’s influential circles shielded corrupt cultivators from punishment.
• Yun Yishu reminded Chen Beiwu that his master’s status gave him privileges and directed him to discuss Yu Pan’s hawk at the Marrow-Eroding Abyss.
• Chen Beiwu met Yu Pan in her cell and offered her up to thirteen thousand one hundred Sect Contribution Points and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for Little Gray.
• Yu Pan refused to sell Little Gray, then offered to become Chen Beiwu’s Dao companion in exchange for his protection.

Chen Beiwu failed to trade for the Heaven-Eyed Black Kite and rejected Yu Pan’s offer to become his Dao companion. He chose to redeem the Seven-Turns Circulating Heaven Qi Refining Method and began studying it, though he postponed practicing it until after his next breakthrough.

• Yu Pan offered to trade the Heaven-Eyed Black Kite for Chen Beiwu’s agreement to become her Dao companion, but he refused and their negotiations ended.
• Li Renjie suggested arranging Yu Pan’s death in the Marrow-Eroding Abyss, and Chen Beiwu rejected the idea.
• Yun Yishu ordered Li Renjie to keep Yu Pan safe, then wondered whether Foundation Establishment cultivators could cross the barrier to Golden Core.
• Chen Beiwu chose to spend ten thousand Contribution Points on the Seven-Turns Circulating Heaven Qi Refining Method rather than the Spirit-Merging Pill.
• Chen Beiwu studied the method, found it difficult to comprehend, and decided to focus on advancing to the eleventh layer of Qi Refining first.

After two and a half years of secluded cultivation, Chen Beiwu broke through to the eleventh layer of Qi Refining and returned to Shouhe No. 2 Middle School to collect his College Entrance Examination admission ticket. The chapter left him in class as homeroom teacher Wang Kui warned the students about the exam and their school’s poor record.

• During Chen Beiwu’s first year of seclusion, Li Yuanhua handed over three offending Foundation Establishment cultivators and volunteered for frontline duty, settling the Qingsu Island embezzlement case, while Yu Pan refused Chen Beiwu’s proposed trade.
• In the second year, Golden Egg reached forty-nine years of cultivation, Iron Egg advanced his technique and reached forty years, and Chen Beiwu set aside his Immortal Alliance work to focus on cultivation.
• Chen Beiwu opened the Six Harmonies Apertures, reached the eleventh layer of Qi Refining, and discovered that his body had become exceptionally powerful and leakless.
• Chen Beiwu left seclusion because the College Entrance Examination was approaching and he needed to collect his admission ticket at Shouhe No. 2 Middle School.
• Chen Beiwu entered his fifth-year Soaring Class, where students recognized his name and whispered about his cultivation; Wang Kui arrived and scolded them about the exam and the school’s failure to place anyone in the Seventy-Nine Upper Sect the previous year.

Wang Kui announced that the Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination would add a retest, but candidates had to sign a Life-and-Death Contract to participate in it and the final test. As students weighed their options, Xu Lingling chose the sect special recruitment route while Xu Ziqing and Chen Beiwu signed the contract.

• Wang Kui told the class that the examination reforms added a retest, where a Grade-B evaluation could help candidates enter a Seventy-Nine Upper Sect despite a Grade-C final-test result.
• Wang Kui announced that candidates had to sign a Life-and-Death Contract to take the retest and final test, or withdraw from both.
• Chen Beiwu explained that the reforms were confirmed on the Immortal Alliance Official Website, and Xu Lingling said she would likely withdraw and use sect special recruitment.
