Arc 3The Underworld and the Tournament
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Wuji faced the Underworld’s path to reincarnation as the living learned about its trials and prepared for ascension. In the Primordial World, Bibi Dong joined the Sea of Blood and prepared for Qian Renxue’s tournament, while Yu Xiaogang gained influence at Bai Ze Ridge and took the Nine-Colored Gauze from Scarface King.
- Zhu Zhuqing woke as a Three-Eyed Nether Cat beneath the Ghost Gate and began cultivating on Yellow Springs Road, while Zhao Wuji arrived among the dead and later saw his friends at the Pavilion of Homesickness.
- Zhao Wuji crossed the Underworld’s trials, confessed his crimes, and was sentenced to the City of Wrongful Deaths rather than hell or the Animal Realm.
- Tang San worshipped the Three Pure Ones, while Qian Daoliu and Ning Fengzhi arranged funeral provisions and others tried to improve their chances of reincarnation.
- Qian Renxue organized a tournament at Five Finger Mountain, and the light screen selected Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender to ascend, leaving Tang San behind.
- Yu Xiaogang arrived in the Northern wilderness, turned into a pig, and lost Luo Sanpao to Huanglong, while Bibi Dong reached Flaming Mountain and met Princess Iron Fan.
- Yu Xiaogang gained Scarface King’s favor at Bai Ze Ridge, became the Rose Grandmaster, and persuaded lesser demons to follow his teachings, while Bibi Dong joined Ancestor Minghe’s Asura Clan and received the Third-Rank Hong Lian for the tournament.
- Liu Erlong reunited with Flender and joined the Ascension Immortal Pavilion, but an old fox demon’s Man-Repelling Bracelet kept Flender from approaching her.
- Qian Renxue borrowed Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Golden Cudgel and opened tournament entry for Five Finger Mountain, while Yu Xiaogang persuaded Scarface King to give him the Nine-Colored Gauze and Xiao Wu’s kick broke the influence over Scarface.
