In Jiangzhou, Jiang Buping transformed into Bone-Scraping Blade and set out to meet Emperor Yongchang, who agreed to receive her.

He and Xie Tianxia concluded that immortals were being killed by a hidden Taotie Execution Line, possibly tied to the Imperial Family, and Xie Tianxia welcomed the prospect of confronting a dragon descendant.

• Maitreya identified the presence devouring Shen Miaoshu’s vital essence as a Taotie and warned that she would die if she became a god.
• Maitreya explained that the Profound Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Fetus Nether Canon had originated as his Child-Giving Sutra, and Lianshan Xin agreed to accept the Demon Cult’s technique for Qi Shiyun and Lin Ruoshui.

• Lianshan Xin suspected that a hidden Taotie Execution Line killed anyone who crossed into immortality, and Xie Tianxia agreed that Xie Guanhai or someone within the Imperial Family might be responsible.
• Xie Tianxia said their lineage had nothing to fear from a Taotie because Taotie was a dragon descendant, and she and a man laughed bloodthirstily within Kuang Mountain.

Xie Tianxia revealed that she had become an Immortal, warned Qi Shiyun to choose a Hidden Dragon, and investigated the Taotie threat with Lianshan Xin. Lianshan Xin and the two women began cultivating a demonic technique for their own use, while his Box Weapon trapped Maitreya and cut off his connection to them.

• After He Miaojun and Lianshan Jingcheng returned, they heard Lianshan Xin singing a song about Maitreya, while Maitreya raged inside the box.

Lianshan Xin kept Maitreya trapped on Kuang Mountain and discussed how to protect himself once he left, while his father urged him to seek Spirit Mountain’s support. After Maitreya identified the black box’s aura as belonging to the True Void Homeland, Lianshan Xin denied any connection—until they reached He Miaojun praying to the Venerable Mother.

• Maitreya panicked inside Lianshan Xin’s black box, while Lianshan Xin joked with He Miaojun and Lianshan Jingcheng about Maitreya’s arrival on Kuang Mountain.

• Lianshan Xin released Maitreya from the black box, and Maitreya mistook it for an Immortal Artifact before recognizing the aura of the True Void Homeland.
• Lianshan Xin denied knowing the Venerable Mother or belonging to the True Void Homeland, but Maitreya’s suspicions returned when He Miaojun prayed to the Venerable Mother and chanted about the True Void Homeland.

Lianshan Xin reunited with He Miaojun, discovered her devotion to the Unborn Venerable Mother, and taught her the Land-Pacifying Divine Incantation. Her sudden mastery revealed an extraordinary Innate Dao Embryo constitution, and the group decided to make her Kuang Mountain’s mountain god so she and Lianshan Xin’s father would be protected there.

• Maitreya questioned He Miaojun’s worship of the Unborn Venerable Mother and suspected Lianshan Xin might be the son of the Mother’s mortal incarnation.
• Lianshan Xin joined He Miaojun in privately praying to the Unborn Venerable Mother, then taught her the Land-Pacifying Divine Incantation.
• He Miaojun mastered the divine incantation so quickly that the room shook, startling Lianshan Xin and drawing Qi Shiyun and Lin Ruoshui.

• Lin Ruoshui suggested that Lianshan Xin use his authority as lord of Kuang Mountain to make He Miaojun its mountain god and protect her and Lianshan Xin’s father.

After He Miaojun became Kuang Mountain’s mountain god, Lianshan Xin prepared to travel to the Eastern Capital disguised as Xia Xunxiu while Kong Ningyuan killed Jiang Haowen and advanced into the Astral Transformation Realm. The group learned that the Demon Cult planned to hold an Ullambana Festival in the Eastern Capital, and the Heir Apparent of Prince of Donghai prepared to confront the approaching “Xiu’er.”

• He Miaojun’s investiture produced Buddhist and Daoist signs, while Qi Shiyun admired her and Lin Ruoshui secretly warned Lianshan Xin about Qi’s interest.

• The Heir Apparent of Prince of Donghai learned that “Xiu'er” was nearing the Eastern Capital and ordered everyone to prepare to welcome him.

Lianshan Xin’s party traveled toward the Eastern Capital while Tian Ji coaxed information from Feng Guanxue and Qi Shiyun secretly read her thoughts. At the city gates, Feng Muchi recognized Lianshan Xin, and he and Qi Shiyun realized the party was in serious danger.

• Lianshan Xin and Zhuo Biyu discussed Feng Guanxue, Tian Ji’s seduction, and the Demon Cult’s ties to the Prince of Donghai’s Estate.

• Feng Muchi told the Heir Apparent that an impostor was approaching the Eastern Capital and was ordered to cut off his hand or lure him into the estate.
• Feng Muchi recognized Lianshan Xin at the city gates, and Qi Shiyun warned him that things looked very bad.

Lianshan Xin and Qi Shiyun discovered that the Prince of Donghai’s Estate knew Xia Xunxiu was dead, but Lianshan Xin bluffed Feng Muchi into believing he was Thousand Faces and that Feng was a Holy Cult undercover agent. The group entered the estate’s trap, where Lianshan Xin prepared to turn the accusation of impersonation against Thousand Faces.

• Qi Shiyun used Spirit Vision to learn that Feng Muchi suspected Lianshan Xin was an impostor because the Heart-Linking Jade Pendant had shattered after Xia Xunxiu died.
• Lianshan Xin inferred that Feng Muchi wanted to bring them into the estate rather than fight outside the Eastern Capital, and Feng Muchi claimed Bone-Scraping Blade had returned and poisoned the Heir Apparent of Prince of Donghai.

• Feng Muchi revealed that the Prince of Donghai and the Heir Apparent knew Lianshan Xin was an impostor and had arranged to capture him, but Lianshan Xin decided to enter the estate anyway.
