Su Ping and Meng Yao defeated Red Oni Qiong, whose lineage’s contract let him survive as a Red Oni after his human body was destroyed. Su Ping used a Soul Pearl and Illusionheart resources to preserve the dying Wind-Splitting Stormhawk, then turned his attention to the island’s strange winds and the birds’ shared Eye of the Hurricane skill.

• Su Ping rejected Red Oni Qiong’s attempt to escape, and Meng Yao crushed him and the Great Tengu inside a sealed water prison.
• Meng Yao explained that Red Oni Qiong could awaken again as a Red Oni through his family’s birth contract, then used the Calamity-Illusion Starfish to search the old man’s memories.
• Su Ping realized the Wind-Splitting Stormhawk’s soul had not dispersed and used an Emperor Tier Soul Pearl and Illusionheart resources to preserve her soul and body.
• Su Ping told the Divine Wind Sparrows and Little Riftwind Stormhawk that he was confident he could save the Wind-Splitting Stormhawk, and they agreed to return with him.
• Su Ping noticed that the three birds had all mastered Eye of the Hurricane and examined the island’s strange valley and Vortex Passage for clues.

Su Ping discovered that Wind Island’s natural vortex could help Wind-type beasts comprehend Eye of the Hurricane, and he wanted to preserve the island as a cultivation treasure. The World Tree Leaf appeared and shrank the island onto itself, leaving Su Ping and Meng Yao stunned as the story ended with Su Ping holding the miniature island.

• Su Ping examined the Great Vortex and realized it embodied Eye of the Hurricane, while the island’s terrain and Wind Elemental Spirits made Wind Island a valuable cultivation site.
• Su Ping asked Meng Yao to move the island to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, then told Feifei to scan it and attempted to sketch the vortex.
• The World Tree mark appeared in Su Ping’s palm, and a World Tree Leaf emerged and expanded above the island.
• The leaf shrank Wind Island and its underwater coral foundation, leaving Su Ping and the Wind Elemental Spirits in the sea.
• Su Ping rose with Levitation while Little Crow and Little Flame gathered the Wind Elemental Spirits for him to store in his Beast Taming Space.
• The World Tree Leaf descended with a miniature island resting on it, and Su Ping dismissed Meng Yao’s astonishment.

Su Ping and Meng Yao planned to settle Wind Island on West Dragon Lake while investigating the Heart of Gold’s activity in Cherry Blossom Country. At Soulheart, Su Ping sought Yin Luo’s help to save a dead Wind-Splitting Stormhawk and began devising an evolution that could preserve its life and strength.

• Su Ping and Meng Yao examined the World Tree leaf carrying Wind Island and decided West Dragon Lake was the most suitable place to settle it.
• Su Ping reviewed Tanaka Zhihe’s memories, learned why Red Oni Qiong had attacked the Divine Wind Sparrows and Wind-Splitting Stormhawks, and sent the findings to the Mad Sage and Dong Muyun.
• Meng Yao sent the Wavebreaker to search West Dragon Lake for a suitable site while Su Ping took the Soul Search recording to Soulheart.
• Yin Luo described two ways to restore the dead Wind-Splitting Stormhawk, but Su Ping rejected both because they would weaken it or reduce its combat ability.
• Su Ping realized the Stormhawk might qualify for evolution, found no suitable existing evolution, and called Elder Liu to obtain a Wind type Emperor-Tier Resource.

Su Ping evolved the dying Wind-Splitting Stormhawk into a Storm Eagle Spirit and persuaded it and three other wind birds to settle at the Heart of Myriad Spirits as employees. Afterward, he brought Little Crow to Woodland Heart and challenged Qianyi to a fight to compare the two Monarch Rank pets.

• Su Ping completed the Storm Eagle Spirit's evolution, restoring its life and raising it to Emperor Rank Second Stage, while the Myriad Spirits Codex unlocked Records for the Wind-Splitting Stormhawk and Divine Wind Sparrow.
• Su Ping offered the four wind birds a home and benefits at the Heart of Myriad Spirits in exchange for avoiding human territory and not attacking people or other pets; they agreed to stay.
• Su Ping gave the birds employee pendants and named them Big Wind, Little Wind, Big Eagle, and Little Eagle; Big Eagle learned he owed 30,000 points for his evolution.
• Su Ping led the wind birds to rest by the Perching Phoenix Parasol Tree, then went to Woodland Heart, where Qianyi had been defeating Sword Forest and winning over the local Plant Element pets.
• Su Ping challenged Qianyi to fight Little Crow and asked to see which Monarch Rank pet was stronger.

Su Ping arranged a battle between Qianyi and Yaya to compare the strongest Monarch Rank pet beasts, while drones filmed the fight for the Heart of Myriad Spirits website. Their clash ended in a close draw, leaving the watching beasts stunned.

• Su Ping chose an empty site south of Woodland Heart for Qianyi and Yaya to spar, drawing a crowd of pet beasts and visitors.
• Su Ping asked Guan Qianshan to have Feifei film the battle with drones for the Heart of Myriad Spirits website.
• Qianyi opened with its Lightning Sword, but Yaya countered with Light Refraction and drove Qianyi back with three golden feathers.
• Yaya activated Light Illuminates All, setting the domain ablaze while Qianyi's Five Elements Cycle struggled to absorb its power.
• Su Ping stopped the fight after the explosion badly injured Qianyi and exhausted Yaya's Golden Crow Form, leaving both still capable of fighting and the outcome close to a draw.

On Jianghai Advanced Academy’s opening day, Su Ping greeted the excited new students, answered questions about his Chaos-Watching Crow, and promoted the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ upcoming Soulheart attraction. After leaving the reception hall, he collected the Saint Spirit Tier resources Sang Sage had sent for the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.

• Incoming students at Jianghai Advanced Academy discussed Su Ping, his pet beasts, and their hopes of learning from him or joining research trials.
• Su Ping arrived with Qin Erlong and Dean Xu, drawing a crowd of students who asked about his new evolution and his plans to teach.
• Su Ping described the Chaos-Watching Crow’s demanding evolution requirements and said he would visit the academy when he had time.
• Su Ping announced that Soulheart would soon open as an Undead-type adventure attraction with exploration missions and rewards, while reminding students not to neglect their studies.
• After Su Ping left the reception hall, Qin Erlong told him Sang Sage had sent the resources he needed for the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng.
• Su Ping checked the Saint Spirit Tier resources in the Space Bracelet and was pleased that he could answer the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng’s requirements.

Su Ping watched the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng fuse three Saint Spirit Tier resources into a strange new tree, then learned to engrave life into a life embryo and advanced to Monarch Seventh Rank. After the embryo awakened the tree and the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng merged with it, a beam of Light of Evolution shot into the sky.

• The Jade Demon Spring Ginseng absorbed titan wood, god spores, and mother root, then shaped them into a small, unfamiliar tree.
• The Jade Demon Spring Ginseng guided Su Ping to carve intricate life pathways into a life embryo, and Su Ping’s meditation realm broke through to Monarch Seventh Rank.
• Su Ping used his Spirit Eye to discover that Life Engraving had transformed the embryo into a potential foundation for a living organism.
• The Jade Demon Spring Ginseng soaked the engraved embryo in Life Spring Water and merged it into the tree, awakening the tree’s vitality.
• The Jade Demon Spring Ginseng fused itself with the transformed tree, and a beam of Light of Evolution shot into the sky.

Su Ping carved another Life Embryo and suspected it could help reproduce Plant Element pet beasts, while the evolved Jade Demon Spring Ginseng rooted itself and went dormant. As Su Ping prepared to test his theory, Zhu Hong told him that legendary Breeder Olivia Connor was coming to see the rare plants from Dian-Tibet.

• Su Ping restored his Mental Strength and carved a Life Embryo faster than before, then immersed it in Life Spring Water.
• The evolved Jade Demon Spring Ginseng took root in the Heart of Spring and told Su Ping it would sleep until it received one of three rare resources, including the Elixir of Immortality.
• The Jade Demon Spring Ginseng gave Su Ping a branch meant for Xiao Qing before becoming motionless in its tree form, and Su Ping promised to find its requested resources.
• Su Ping realized the Life Embryo might provide a way to reproduce Plant Element pet beasts that were difficult or impossible to breed, including the Blackgold Emperor Chrysanthemum.
• Zhu Hong told Su Ping that Olivia Connor, a renowned Plant Element master Breeder and sister of Crown Breeder Erslyn Connor, was arriving to see the vanished plant pet beasts.
• Su Ping asked Zhu Hong to bring Olivia Connor to the Woodland Heart later and headed there to test the Life Embryo.

Master Breeder Olivia Connor visited Su Ping at the Heart of Myriad Spirits and witnessed him replicate an extinct Blackgold Emperor Chrysanthemum. She then privately offered to exchange the Elixir of Immortality for a World Tree leaf and revealed her plan to take back the elixir and bring the Connor Lineage to the Dragon Nation.

• Liu Fuhai spoke with Olivia Connor aboard the Howling Moon about Su Ping's breeding work and recent interest in Plant Element pet beasts.
• Olivia, Zhu Hong, Liu Fuhai, and Meng Yao toured the Woodland Heart and saw extinct Plant Element pet beasts.
• The group watched Su Ping produce a new Blackgold Emperor Chrysanthemum seedling from an offshoot of the existing plant.
• After protective measures were arranged, Olivia met Su Ping alone and asked him for a World Tree leaf in exchange for the Elixir of Immortality.
• Olivia told Su Ping she would reclaim the elixir from the Lion Country Royal Family after next year's awards ceremony and bring the Connor Lineage to the Dragon Nation.

Su Ping learned that Olivia Connor planned to steal the Elixir of Immortality and revealed the World Tree’s connection to the ancient Myth Tier Spring God. After Olivia left, Su Ping’s friends returned, and he went to inspect Soulheart’s grand opening.

• Olivia Connor explained that she intended to take the Elixir of Immortality from the Lion Country’s royal family and secure a World Tree Leaf for it, while Su Ping agreed to help as he could.
• Olivia revealed that the World Tree might be the remains of the Myth Tier Plant Element being called the Spring God, and that it could carry the being’s Rule Power.
• Olivia spent two days teaching Su Ping about Plant Element breeding, bought one of his Life Embryos, and left her granddaughter Yiluo Connor at the Heart of Myriad Spirits to study.
• Li Shu returned with his Falling Seed Pine successfully evolved and at peak Elite Tier, while Shangguan Ye gained further Plant Element breeding insights from Olivia.
• Bai Cang sent Li Shu to tell Su Ping that Soulheart had officially opened, and Su Ping headed there to inspect the launch.
• Li Shu found Su Ping’s unfinished manuscript, read its long title, and decided it would probably flop before following Su Ping to Soulheart.

Soulheart’s opening drew a huge crowd, and visitors began facing its frightening scenarios while Su Ping watched from the control center. After learning that many players were being trapped on the Bloodstained Train, Su Ping ordered the staff to send visitors to other scenarios as well, leaving the Demon King mystery and its hidden endings in play.

• A huge crowd gathered at Soulheart after hearing that players who cleared its seven scenarios could win valuable resources, and early visitors emerged frightened or unconscious.
• Yin Yin entered Soulheart, signed its agreements, and boarded the Bloodstained Train as her first stage.
• Bai Cang told Su Ping that Soulheart’s seven scenarios held the seals of a Demon King whose escaped soul could recruit players or be sealed again for a hidden reward.
• Su Ping learned that Shadow Charm Spirit was playing the Demon King’s Soul and that many visitors were getting stuck on the train.
• Su Ping ordered Bai Cang to use some trains as shuttles to send players randomly to other scenarios, allowing more visitors to enter Soulheart.

Yin Yin was overwhelmed and eliminated by Soulheart’s Bloodstained Train, while Su Ping learned how the attraction’s fear effects were created and watched its popularity soar. After five days, the first challenger cleared Soulheart just as Meng Yao’s Wavebreaker found a suitable location for Wind Heart Island.

• Yin Yin entered the Bloodstained Train, failed to summon her pet beasts, and was eliminated by the Red-Eyed Vengeful Spirit after opening the restroom faucet.
• Bai Cang told Su Ping that Lu Cheng used twenty Fear Imps and the Land of Sighs to create Soulheart’s mental pressure.
• Su Ping considered researching fear-based abilities later and planned to focus next on Qianyi’s cultivation and evolution.
• Soulheart drew crowds and controversy, and Su Ping promised to give a lecture at Jianghai Academy’s Undead department, whose dean offered 300 academic credits to the first student to clear it.
• After five days, Su Ping learned that Soulheart had its first successful challenger and that Meng Yao’s Wavebreaker had found a suitable location for Wind Heart Island.

Su Ping moved Wind Island to West Dragon Lake and established it as Wind Heart, then began protecting its wind-eye vortex and connecting the Heart of Myriad Spirits with teleportation mirrors. After returning to Woodheart, he learned that the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo had finally begun behaving differently after days of being fed Forest Dragon blood essence.

• Meng Yao showed Su Ping the chosen West Dragon Lake location and explained how it could support Wind Island and future facilities.
• Su Ping used the World Tree Leaf to move Wind Island and its coral reef into West Dragon Lake without damaging the island.
• Su Ping began reinforcing the ground near the wind eye with Earth Vein Origin Force and Root of the Earth, while the naval legion received orders to keep away from the new island.
• Su Ping linked the Heart of Myriad Spirits with teleportation mirrors, using the available mirrors to connect Wind Heart and several other hubs.
• Su Ping returned to Woodheart and learned that the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo had shown behavior unlike ordinary bamboo after receiving Forest Dragon blood essence each day.

Su Ping investigated the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo’s strange request and discovered that it wanted contact with a young dragon, then had Xiao Hui strike it with Dragon Breath. The attack left a grayish-white trace on the bamboo’s raised patterns, revealing that its dragon-linked evolution had begun to show results.

• Su Ping found that the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo’s scale-like patterns had developed raised ridges after being watered with Divine Dragon Essence Blood.
• Su Ping brought Big Yellow to the bamboo, but it rejected him and calmed down only after Big Yellow left.
• Su Ping brought three young dragons to Woodland Heart, and the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo eagerly chose Xiao Hui, the Crystal Dragon.
• Su Ping learned that the bamboo wanted Xiao Hui to hit it and explained what to do before feeding Xiao Hui roasted Flame Pig meat.
• Xiao Hui fired Dragon Breath at the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo, which remained unharmed and gained a grayish-white mark where the attack struck.

Su Ping nurtured the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo alongside Xiao Hui, using Levitation Wood to trigger its evolution. The bamboo became a Dragon-Raising Bamboo, leaving Su Ping stunned by the apparent significance of its new form.

• Su Ping taught a crowded class at Jianghai Academy about nurturing Paper-Folding Men and gained new ideas for Qianyi's evolution.
• Su Ping observed the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo turn silver-gray as it absorbed energy from Xiao Hui, and learned that Life Embryos could not propagate evolved plants or those at Emperor Tier and above.
• Su Ping gave the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo Levitation Wood after its light of evolution appeared.
• The Dragon-Pattern Bamboo bound Xiao Hui's claws and transferred energy, helping Xiao Hui advance to Commander Rank before the bamboo evolved.
• The evolved bamboo's True Eye information identified it as a Dragon-Raising Bamboo, astonishing Su Ping.

Su Ping confirmed Dragon-Raising Bamboo’s evolution method and learned that it could help dragons grow faster, while gaining new insight into Rainbow Dragon cultivation. He defended Dragon-Pattern Bamboo’s right to evolve against Changqing, then left with it and Xiao Hui as the other beasts began eyeing Changqing for its cultivation methods.

• Su Ping examined Dragon-Raising Bamboo’s skills and used the Myriad Spirits Codex to verify its cultivation process, discovering that Concentric Lotus Seeds were essential to its evolution.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex reduced the experience cost for completing the Rainbow Dragon’s second-stage cultivation requirements.
• Changqing challenged Su Ping over Dragon-Pattern Bamboo’s evolution, but Su Ping revealed that it had earned 50,000 points by reporting the Yin Snake Myriad-Forms Bamboo cultivation method and had spent 25,000 points on its evolution.
• Changqing insulted Dragon-Pattern Bamboo, and Su Ping warned it not to attack anyone in the Heart of Myriad Spirits before showing off Old Tree’s Deep-Rooted skill.
• Su Ping left with Dragon-Raising Bamboo and Xiao Hui, while the Bloodbone Skull Locust and other beasts approached Changqing to seek cultivation methods, leaving Changqing furious.

Su Ping and the others left their fishing contest to investigate the Five Poisons Cauldron, which attracted and strengthened insect- and Poison-type pets. After Master Yin warned that Beiyuan’s undead Beast Tide might be linked to the Heavenly Tomb, the group set off for a valley in the Broken Stone Mountains to test the cauldron.

• Meng Yao led the fishing contest while Zhu Hong complained about his score and finished last.
• Yin Luo told Su Ping that he planned to return to Beiyuan in two days because the undead Beast Tide was worsening and might be connected to the Heavenly Tomb.
• Su Ping said he would enter the Heavenly Tomb in a few days and asked Qin Erlong about a place to test a treasure.
• Su Ping revealed the Five Poisons Cauldron and explained that it attracted insect and Poison-type pets, whose survivors grew stronger after fighting and consuming their fellows.
• Qin Erlong identified a suitable valley in the Broken Stone Mountains, and Su Ping invited the others to go test the cauldron.
• Qin Xiaoxue, Meng Yao, Liu Fuhai, Qin Erlong, Yin Luo, and Zhu Hong agreed to leave with Su Ping.

Su Ping brought Qin Xiaoxue and several elders to a valley in the Broken Stone Mountains, where he used the Five Poisons Cauldron to draw in venomous insects and Poison-type Pets. After the cauldron gathered them for half an hour, Su Ping had Xiao Qing retrieve it and prepared to inspect the gu battle inside.

• Su Ping flew the Proud Dragon to the valley and encountered Huang Tianbing, Zhang Chaofan, and Zhang Chaoqun at the Celestial Observatory's mountain site.
• Su Ping arrived with Meng Yao, Zhu Hong, Old Liu, Qin Xiaoxue, and the others, then followed Qin Erlong into a valley rich with poisonous glowgrass and Insect-type Pets.
• Qin Erlong revealed that Taishan had been caught nearby, while Su Ping and the others focused on the Five Poisons Cauldron.
• Su Ping put drops of his blood and Mental Strength into the Five Poisons Cauldron, threw it into the valley, and settled down to grill food as poisonous creatures swarmed toward it.
• After half an hour, Su Ping sent Xiao Qing to retrieve the cauldron and used a spatial detector, camera, and monitor to reveal the gu battle inside.

The Five Poisons Cauldron forced its insects into a bloody contest, and Su Ping and the others wagered on which would become the Gu King. Su Ping’s low-ranked Webweaving Gray Spider outlasted the stronger contenders and defeated the Ghost-Faced Moth, leaving him curious about its future transformation.

• The insects slaughtered one another inside the Five Poisons Cauldron while Master Yin marveled at how it turned blood and Mental Strength into energy that drove them to fight.
• Liu Fuhai, Yin Luo, Zhu Hong, Qin Erlong, Meng Yao, and Su Ping each chose an insect to bet on, with Su Ping picking a Commander Rank stage one Webweaving Gray Spider.
• Su Ping explained that the Gu King would become attached to the Beast Tamer whose blood had activated the cauldron and could later be raised in his Heart of Insects.
• The Green Jade Snake was eliminated first, followed by Qin Erlong’s Overlord Bee, while the White Dew Silkworm and Black Sand Scorpion killed each other.
• The Ghost-Faced Moth and Su Ping’s injured Webweaving Gray Spider became the last contenders, and the spider’s legs began to regrow as it recovered its mobility.
• The Ghost-Faced Moth charged into the spider’s web, where the Webweaving Gray Spider trapped it in a cocoon and became the final Gu King.

Su Ping watched the Webweaving Gray Spider survive the Five Poisons Cauldron’s Gu King contest, gain a status skill, and become a potential focus for future research and business. As he considered asking about Old Sha’s status skill and ancestry, an explosion damaged the Proud Dragon.

• The Webweaving Gray Spider devoured the remaining insects, advanced to Commander Rank Second Stage, and comprehended the Gu King status skill.
• Zhu Hong explained that status skills enhanced their users and suppressed others in the same sphere, and suggested Su Ping develop the spider toward Poison King.
• Su Ping decided to keep the Five Poisons Cauldron’s capabilities quiet for now, while considering stable trials and opportunities to study and monetize it.
• Su Ping began thinking about Old Sha’s Wolf King’s Majesty and planned to ask about the Wolf Lord and Old Sha’s father, the Azure Cliff Heavenly Wolf King.
• A tremendous boom shook the valley, and Long Er reported that the Proud Dragon had been damaged in an unexpected incident.

Su Ping investigated the dangerous spatial disturbances in the Broken Stone Mountains and learned that the Celestial Observatory needed stronger support. With the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens’ help, he discovered the mountain was a stable, reusable Mystic Realm and invited the Mirror Ancestor to lead the Celestial Observatory, leaving the Mirror Ancestor to consider the offer.

• Long Er and the others met Su Ping near the Broken Stone Mountains, where unstable space and powerful gravity had injured Huang Tianbing and left the Zhang Brothers unconscious.
• Huang Tianbing explained that the Celestial Observatory had spent months investigating the mountain’s chaotic entrances, with many members lost and no reliable information about the Mystic Realm.
• Su Ping asked the Sacred Dragon Legend to strengthen support for the Celestial Observatory, and the Sacred Dragon Legend gave him authority to find a Saint Spirit Tier figure to oversee it.
• Su Ping summoned the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens, which revealed that the mountain contained a stable but fragmented Mystic Realm that could be repaired and relocated into Su Ping’s Heart of Myriad Spirits.
• Su Ping asked the Mirror Ancestor to preside over the Celestial Observatory, and the Mirror Ancestor said it would discuss the offer with the Dong Family after realizing it had already promised Su Ping the reusable Mystic Realm.

Su Ping left the Proud Dragon’s repair to Wu Kuang and Feifei, then focused on finding an evolution path for Qianyi. After watching Qianyi fight with a sword assembled from Paper-Folding Men, Su Ping had a sudden new insight, but the chapter ended before he explained it.

• Wu Kuang revealed that he had designed the Proud Dragon and persuaded Su Ping to help the Mechanic Association research mechanical pet beasts while Feifei assisted with the repairs.
• Su Ping went to the Zombie Funeral Home and reviewed the Five Elements Paper Spirits he had cultivated, whose racial ceiling had reached Emperor Rank First Stage.
• Yin Luo told Su Ping that Qianyi’s evolution still had no clear direction and that he would soon be leaving.
• Su Ping considered forging and tempering Qianyi’s fragile paper body, but Yin Luo pointed out that earlier attempts to compress Paper-Folding Men had failed.
• Qianyi sparred with a Five Elements Paper Spirit using a Wind Sword made from three Paper-Folding Men, and Su Ping noticed something as the sword came apart.

Su Ping tested his theory that Qianyi’s Sword Soul needed a sword core to evolve, but embedding an Ore Vein Edge failed and left marks on the resource. After comparing many metals, Su Ping realized undead metals behaved differently and identified a new kind of resource to try next.

• Su Ping asked Qianyi to transform into a sword and tested whether an Ore Vein Edge could serve as his sword core.
• Qianyi absorbed the Ore Vein Edge during a treatment with Molten Gold Paste, Water of Life, and other resources, but the attempt failed and scratched his paper body.
• Su Ping examined the marked Ore Vein Edge and concluded that the failed result might reveal something about the material.
• Su Ping spent a night and a day testing Metal-type resources, but none caused evolutionary fluctuations in Qianyi.
• Su Ping noticed that Netherworld Cold Iron had developed more pronounced friction marks than other metals and realized undead souls’ negative power might be the key.

Su Ping discovered that Qianyi needed a living sword-shaped implement pet beast’s body as a sword core, then used Jian Yue’s Jade-Shattering Sword to trigger Qianyi’s first successful Light of Evolution. After learning that the Northern Border held Undead sword pet beasts and recalling the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, Su Ping decided to travel north with Yin Luo and Jian Yue.

• Su Ping concluded that Qianyi’s sword core had to be a living object rather than an ordinary resource, and asked Yin Luo about sword-shaped implement pet beast corpses.
• Jian Yue lent Su Ping her spiritless Jade-Shattering Sword, which he placed inside Qianyi after mixing a piece of Ore Vein Edge into the Sword-Washing Pool.
• Qianyi folded around the Jade-Shattering Sword, and Su Ping awakened him when the Sword Body began contracting and the Light of Evolution appeared.
• Su Ping returned the rusted Jade-Shattering Sword to Jian Yue and explained that he still needed better evolution resources.
• Yin Luo mentioned the taboo sword Dragon-Slayer, while Jian Yue suggested looking for Undead sword pet beasts in Beiyuan, where the group would travel for the Heavenly Tomb.
• As the Heavenly Tomb Mark called to him and he recalled Yu Liangqing’s legacy and the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, Su Ping asked Yin Luo and Jian Yue when they were leaving and said he would go north with them.

The Northern Border Legion debated the purpose of the undead Beast Tide as Master Leng warned Su Anyong that Su Ping’s actions had made him a focus of national attention before his coming Heavenly Tomb expedition. Su Ping arrived in Beihan City and reunited with the Rong Family, who had gathered to welcome him.

• The undead Beast Tide receded, and Su Anyong urged Master Leng and the Ghost Sage to investigate the Heavenly Tomb or launch a counterattack, but the commanders made no decision.
• Master Leng told Su Anyong that Su Ping had appointed the Mirror Saint of Jianghai's Dong Family as a Special Guest Elder at the Celestial Observatory, drawing political scrutiny as Su Ping faced the Heavenly Tomb.
• Master Leng said Su Ping had returned to Beiyuan with Yin Luo and Lu Heng, and ordered Su Anyong to prepare his troops and support Su Ping.
• Master Leng revealed that Su Ping had gone to Beihan City to visit the Rong Family rather than the front-line Legion camp.
• Su Ping arrived at the Rong Residence and greeted his grandfather Rong Bao, his relatives, other Rong Family members, and the Snake Ancestor.
