The Mirror Moon Sect attacked Void-Gold Mountain, where Ji Shaoyuan used a Fourth-Tier Profound Treasure to help his formation survive the warship’s devastating cannon strike. As the two sects’ forces clashed, Chen Beiwu discovered hidden Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator Sun Yuanqing and called on Zhu Qiong to take him down.

• Zhu Shaoyuan learned from the Shen Household cultivators’ memories that parts had been tampered with, then ordered the Mirror Moon Sect to march on Void-Gold Mountain.

• Chen Beiwu learned that the Five-Qi Vine could change its Five Phases attributes and control parasitic puppets, but his own Spiritual Roots did not meet the condition for seeing its true appearance.

• Chen Beiwu entered the classroom, where his classmates speculated about his course choices and cultivation.
• True Lord Su Miao announced that the final assessment would be a Dharma Combat Contest in the Strife Realm, where three consecutive losses meant repeating the year and five meant withdrawal, while three or five consecutive wins earned major rewards.

• Chen Beiwu used his Heaven-Bestowed Initial Scenery to transform Golden Egg into a golden Flood Dragon that could stand against Yu Zhaohua’s Flintrock Coiling Dragon.
• Golden Egg pierced the Flintrock Coiling Dragon, but its molten core regenerated the damage and threatened to engulf Golden Egg in lava.
• Chen Beiwu’s Twelve Calamity Baleful Intent Arrow broke through Yu Zhaohua’s Crimson Flame Glazed Shield, but the Flintrock Coiling Dragon unleashed its Flintrock Sword and seemingly destroyed Golden Egg.

• In another match, Chen Beiwu’s projection defeated Shen Yuanbao without using his Heaven-Bestowed Initial Scenery, and Yu Zhaohua then encountered Chen Beiwu’s projection in her fifth round.

After losing to Yu Zhaohua in the Strife Realm, Chen Beiwu sought a powerful Law Treasure to strengthen himself before exploring Mystic Spirit Lake. True Lord Su Miao secured him access to the Jade Purity Treasure Pavilion, but the treasures he selected rejected him because he had not yet formed his core, so he headed to the second floor to try again.

• Chen Beiwu recovered from his Divine Sense injury and reflected on Yu Zhaohua’s strength, while True Lord Su Miao praised his performance in the assessment.
• Chen Beiwu chose to commission a bow-type Law Treasure, but learned it would take years to craft and asked True Lord Su Miao about another option.
• True Lord Su Miao recommended Chen Beiwu for entry to the Jade Purity Treasure Pavilion, and he received permission to visit that afternoon.
• At the pavilion, True Lord Xianyun explained its floors and gave Chen Beiwu a Treasure Retrieval Token that could claim one Law Treasure.
• Chen Beiwu tried to claim the Azure Lotus Exquisite Pagoda and the Mars-Chasing Baleful Bow, but both rejected him because he lacked Golden Core cultivation and undying golden Law Power.
• Chen Beiwu abandoned the first-floor treasures and climbed toward the second floor to search for one more willing to accept him.

Chen Beiwu searched the Jade Purity Treasure Pavilion for a Law Treasure suited to his roots, but the treasures he wanted either rejected him or already had masters. After failing to gain the Heaven-Swallowing Sun-Moon Wheel’s recognition, he found a dingy scrap of cloth with a trace of crimson fortune.

• Chen Beiwu met Jiang Yan on the second floor, gave up the Nine-Dragon Three-Legged Cauldron, and heard about several Law Treasures suited to his needs.
• Chen Beiwu went to the seventh floor for the Demon-Slaying Spike, but Ye Xinya had already gained its recognition.
• Chen Beiwu reached the ninth floor and saw Yu Zhaohua attempting to subdue the Heaven-Swallowing Sun-Moon Wheel; his Divine Sense was devoured when he looked at it.
• Chen Beiwu searched the hall for the Five-Spine Sea-Splitting Treasure Halberd and other treasures, but they rejected him because he was only at Foundation Establishment peak.
• Chen Beiwu sensed a trace of crimson fortune in a side hall and picked up a dingy scrap of cloth.

Chen Beiwu discovered that the seemingly ordinary gray cloth held powerful fortune and persuaded True Lord Xianyun that it could help a companion beast evolve. He obtained the cloth, revealed as the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak, and learned it came from a primordial chaos dao beast and could nurture Golden Egg’s bloodline.

• Chen Beiwu saw crimson fortune around the gray cloth and kept it after Golden Egg failed to tear it.
• Yu Zhaohua questioned Chen Beiwu about choosing the cloth, but he gave her an evasive answer.
• The Treasure Retrieval Token failed to reveal restrictions on the cloth, so Chen Beiwu summoned True Lord Xianyun for an explanation.
• True Lord Xianyun told Chen Beiwu he could take the cloth only if he identified its effects, and Chen Beiwu guessed it could help a companion beast evolve.
• True Lord Xianyun accepted Chen Beiwu’s answer, named the cloth the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak, and gave him Purple Mansion Image-Congealing Nectar.
• True Lord Xianyun revealed that the cloak came from the primordial chaos dao beast Sun-Devouring Divine Lord and could nurture Golden Egg into a powerful treasure beast; Golden Egg worried Iron Egg might catch up to him.

Chen Beiwu used the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak to awaken Iron Egg’s bloodline and then enlisted Yu Shuiyao’s help to confront the corpse-refining formation at Mystic Spirit Lake. The group reached Mountain-Splitting True Person’s tomb and prepared to break its outer formation rather than enter the dangerous Snake Cave.

• Chen Beiwu accepted True Lord Xianyun’s guidance and put the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak on Iron Egg, whose Dao Practice rose from two hundred and eighty-eight years to four hundred and fifteen.
• Yu Zhaohua reflected that Chen Beiwu could become a formidable rival and resolved to pursue the Jade Purity Immortal Sect’s Heaven-Piercing Profound Treasure.
• Chen Beiwu asked Yu Shuiyao to deal with the corpse-refining formation near Waterside Mountain Town, and she gave him a Jade Slip explaining how to break it.
• Yu Shuiyao identified the formation as the Heavenly Coffin Three-Tribulation Corpse-Subduing Formation and said Zhu Qiong’s Pure Yang cultivation could counter the unfinished Golden-Armored Corpse.
• Two days later, Chen Beiwu, Zhu Qiong, and Yun Yishu reached the Snake Cave at Mystic Spirit Lake, and Chen Beiwu urged them to break the outer formation before entering the tomb.

Chen Beiwu, Zhu Qiong, and Yun Yishu fought Qian Buhuan’s corpse hordes as he used the formation to empower himself and ambush Yun Yishu. Yun Yishu survived but lost an arm, leaving Chen Beiwu and Zhu Qiong to face the golden-armored corpse as it prepared to attack.

• A golden-armored corpse remained hidden in its coffin while three silver-armored corpses emerged from nearby coffins.
• Chen Beiwu, Zhu Qiong, and Yun Yishu defeated the silver-armored corpses, then faced an army of silver- and iron-armored corpses.
• Iron Egg and Zhu Qiong burned through the corpse horde as Yun Yishu questioned how Qian Buhuan had obtained so many Foundation Establishment corpses.
• Qian Buhuan gathered the corpse Qi with the formation, broke free of the golden coffin, and struck Yun Yishu, severing her left arm despite her defenses.
• Yun Yishu suppressed the spreading corpse poison while Qian Buhuan vanished and threatened Chen Beiwu and Zhu Qiong with death if they chose wrongly.

Chen Beiwu used a Jade Purity Demon-Subduing Profound Talisman to defeat Qian Buhuan, a powerful Golden-Armored Corpse that had poisoned and injured Yun Yishu. After Qian Buhuan was destroyed, Chen Beiwu collected its Corpse Core and Storage Ring as silence fell over his companions.

• Qian Buhuan attacked the injured Yun Yishu, but Zhu Qiong fought it with the Li Fire Twin Dragon Halberds and kept it from gaining the upper hand.
• Yun Yishu offered to cover Zhu Qiong and Chen Beiwu's retreat, while Chen Beiwu promised to bring her safely out and insisted Qian Buhuan would die there.
• Qian Buhuan teleported behind Chen Beiwu and its Golden Nether Corpse Flame destroyed the Great Wilderness Calamity Needle, while Golden Egg and Iron Egg tried to shield him.
• Chen Beiwu activated his Jade Purity Demon-Subduing Profound Talisman and summoned a towering Dharma Form that immobilized Qian Buhuan.
• The Demon-Subduing Dharma Form killed Qian Buhuan, leaving its Corpse Core and Storage Ring for Chen Beiwu to collect.

Chen Beiwu and his senior sisters survived the Corpse-Refining Ground, secured Qian Buhuan’s inheritance, and returned to the Mirror Moon Sect, where Chen received substantial rewards and Shu You became a True Disciple. After warning Shu You to remain in the sect, Chen returned secretly to the burial chamber and began trying to seize the Dragon Vein Qi.

• Yun Yishu and Zhu Qiong swore not to reveal Chen Beiwu’s Fourth-Rank Profound Talisman, and Chen used the Golden-Armored Corpse King Core to treat Yun Yishu’s corpse poison.
• Chen Beiwu and his senior sisters agreed that he would keep the spoils, then explored the central burial chamber and found a damaged Fourth-Tier Profound-Gold Coffin.
• The group returned to the sect, where Chen received the Deputy Hall Master position, thirty thousand contribution points, and a Golden Tower Elixir for his merits.
• Chen asked Elder Zheng to make Shu You a True Disciple, then bought healing and cultivation pills for Yun Yishu and Zhu Qiong.
• Chen warned Shu You to stay inside the sect for several years, then returned to the Corpse-Refining Ground and tried to use the nine-breath chaos in his heart to seize the Dragon Vein Qi.

Chen Beiwu used the Vein-Collapsing Shuttle to begin breaking the formation beneath the Dragon Vein, hoping to seize its golden fortune, while he investigated Qian Buhuan’s Storage Ring. He uncovered rare treasures and cultivation resources for Golden Egg before opening Qian Buhuan’s Mountain-Splitting Blade, which revealed itself as a powerful Law Treasure.

• Chen Beiwu activated the Vein-Collapsing Shuttle to collapse the Dragon Vein foundations of the Heavenly Coffin Three-Tribulation Corpse-Subduing Formation.
• Chen Beiwu decided to study the Golden-Armored Corpse King Core’s refinement methods in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect’s Library before giving the core to Golden Egg.
• Chen Beiwu refined Qian Buhuan’s Storage Ring and found cultivation methods, formation records, and six valuable natural treasures, including dragon vein yin marrow and Yu'ou Chi Dragon essence blood.
• Chen Beiwu discovered that Qian Buhuan’s Weapon-Storage Casket held the Mountain-Splitting Blade, whose power and shape identified it as a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Saber.

Chen Beiwu destroyed the stubborn Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Saber’s spirituality and let Golden Egg devour it, then learned from Qian Buhuan’s diary how the Golden-Armored Corpse had pursued immortality. He abandoned his plan to collapse the Dragon Vein and destroyed the Heavenly Coffin Three-Tribulation Corpse-Subduing Formation instead, but sensed something unusual in Chaos Heaven and Earth.

• Chen Beiwu empowered Golden Egg to transform into a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Saber and used it to defeat the masterless treasure, then destroyed its spirituality when it refused to submit.
• Golden Egg devoured the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Saber with the Sea Embracing Ten Thousand Rivers Treasure Art, while Chen Beiwu searched Qian Buhuan’s Storage Ring and found his diary.
• Chen Beiwu read how Qian Buhuan had sought to extend his life, sacrificed a fellow cultivator, became a Golden-Armored Corpse, and used the Heavenly Coffin Three-Tribulation Corpse-Subduing Formation to attract Golden Core cultivators.
• Chen Beiwu recorded Qian Buhuan’s routes to the Eastern Land and the Heaven-Sent Sea Secret Realm, then reconsidered destroying the advancing Dragon Vein after learning of Qian Buhuan’s fate.
• Chen Beiwu used the Vein-Collapsing Shuttle to destroy the Heavenly Coffin Three-Tribulation Corpse-Subduing Formation without collapsing the Dragon Vein, then sensed something unusual within Chaos Heaven and Earth.

Chen Beiwu discovered that restoring dragon veins could earn fortune safely, then spent two years training Golden Egg and Iron Egg and helping Senior Sister Wan'er prepare for a Golden Core breakthrough. He later cultivated the Five Directions and Five Elders Taiyi Pill-Casting Method to major accomplishment, becoming a half-step Golden Core with five wisps of Taiyi True Qi.

• Chen Beiwu realized that protecting and restoring dragon veins could gradually earn fortune, unlike destroying them, which brought rapid gains and harmful repercussions.
• Over two years, Golden Egg and Iron Egg improved through repeated sparring with the Battle-Devouring Demon Ape, while Chen Beiwu returned to the sect to avoid another genius entering the secret realm.
• Li Wan'er gave Chen Beiwu the Flood Dragon Transformation Pill and announced she would enter ten years of seclusion to attempt Golden Core formation; he lent her his Tribulation-Fire Golden Shell.
• Chen Beiwu cultivated the Taiyi method with Golden Egg's help, condensing five wisps of Taiyi True Qi and transforming his water-wood dharma body into a hundred rivers dharma body.
• Chen Beiwu recognized that his strength had reached the Golden Core level despite not forming a core, and considered himself an unprecedented half-step Golden Core.

Chen Beiwu pursued the Primordial Origin Golden Core while cultivating his divine sense and studying the Jade Purity Nine-Turn Primordial Origin Elixir Art. At a lecture, he gained sudden enlightenment in the Heavenly Empyrean Silent Radiance God-Slaying Thorn, and True Lord Hunting Thunder asked whether he had a master.

• Chen Beiwu decided to delay forming a Golden Core and pursue the Jade Purity Immortal Sect's Primordial Origin Golden Core, using Purple Mansion Image-Congealing Nectar to study its elixir art.
• Chen Beiwu went to a lecture on offensive divine sense techniques, where Si Yunyun recognized him and considered bringing him into her lineage.
• True Lord Hunting Thunder demonstrated the Heavenly Empyrean Silent Radiance God-Slaying Thorn to the class.
• Chen Beiwu suddenly understood the technique and formed a God-Slaying Thorn with Golden Egg's help, startling the Golden Core cultivators present.
• True Lord Hunting Thunder interrupted Chen Beiwu's sudden enlightenment to prevent damage to his Purple Mansion and Golden Egg's divine sense.
• After Chen Beiwu thanked him and tended to Golden Egg, True Lord Hunting Thunder asked whether Chen Beiwu had a master.
