• Xue Fuyao learned that three other households were searching for people connected to the previous day’s events, then sent Gu Worms to gather information near Dragon Star Tower.

• Xue Fuyao followed the Compass to a pawnshop and discovered that its owner’s original form was a large white goose.
• Xue Fuyao asked to see the shop’s Monster Beast eggs, and the owner led her to an incubation room as the Compass reacted intensely.

After the Goose Egg hatched into a hungry gosling that Xue Fuyao named Big White, she set out to follow an intermittent pull toward Bai Ze’s trapped remnant soul. A month later, the guidance vanished again, and she watched a Golden Lion’s Flying Spiritual Artifact lose control and plummet nearby.

• The Goose Egg absorbed the Demon Crystal’s remaining energy, hatched, and Xue Fuyao named the gosling Big White.

• Xue Fuyao followed an unseen pull, repeatedly losing and regaining its guidance, and informed her master that she had reached the Golden Core Stage so he would not force her into seclusion.
• After a month of traveling, Xue Fuyao stopped when the guidance disappeared again and saw a flock of birds collide with a golden Flying Spiritual Artifact.
• A bird was sucked into the craft’s propulsion system, causing the Flying Spiritual Artifact to emit black fumes and plummet as Xue Fuyao watched.

• Xue Fuyao stopped to camp after the unseen guidance disappeared and let Big White forage and guard her.

• Xue Fuyao refused to sell Big White, then kicked Old Huang away when he threatened her.
• Xue Fuyao formed a Demon Crystal formation around the group, and their leader offered to apologize and asked her to calm down.

• Xue Fuyao confronted the group for failing to stop their companion from troubling her and trapped them in a Spirit-Severing Barrier.
• The group attacked the barrier, but it absorbed their spiritual energy and suppressed their cultivation, leaving them unable to break out.
• A young man claimed he had found the formation's core, and Xue Fuyao killed him with a beam from a demon crystal before he could finish speaking.

• Xue Fuyao dismissed the barrier, took the group's Storage Bags, burned their bodies, and left to follow the Unseen's guidance.
• The guidance grew faint and intermittent, and Xue Fuyao wondered whether the place trapping Bai Ze's remnant soul was moving.

Xue Fuyao followed a mysterious guidance through the forest until it was severed near a clearing, where she uncovered a hidden water pool and a black fish. After resisting the fish’s attacks and the powerful wind, she headed toward the wind’s source to confront the hidden presence.

• Xue Fuyao followed the growing guidance through the forest, but it abruptly vanished near a clearing marked by fresh footprints.

• Xue Fuyao removed the grass with her Storage Space and revealed a large black fish beneath the water.
• Xue Fuyao endured more tentacle attacks and walked toward the source of the intensifying wind.

Xue Fuyao exposed a strange fish that had been attacking her and realized a blue octopus on its head was controlling it. She trapped them both in a formation Barrier, and the octopus turned the fish blue and released poison, which Xue Fuyao said could not harm her.

• Xue Fuyao captured three giant fish in Spirit Beast Pouches and sent water, plants, and small fish into the wind source, causing the wind to stop and disgorge its contents.
• Xue Fuyao used a blue talisman to reveal a strange, four-legged fish with a blue octopus on its head.
• The strange fish resumed its powerful suction, but Xue Fuyao resisted it and found that her silver needles could injure the fish while her vines were swallowed.
• Xue Fuyao suspected the octopus was the fish’s weakness and saw it try to flee into the water, so she trapped herself and the fish inside a formation Barrier.
• The octopus pierced the fish with its tentacles, took control of it again, and released a poisonous odor; Xue Fuyao declared that poison had no effect on her.

Xue Fuyao killed the strange fish and its blue octopus, then followed the guidance to a black marsh where she discovered Bai Ze trapped in a shifting Different Space. After learning how to enter it, she sank into the marsh to reach him.

• Xue Fuyao crushed the blue octopus with her hammer, cut it into pieces, and stored the frozen remains for study.

• Bai Ze explained that Golden Lions had anchored the Different Space with his golden hairs and told Xue Fuyao to enter as soon as he opened a passage.
• Xue Fuyao let Clear Breeze surround her and sank into the marsh until it swallowed her completely.

• Xue Fuyao entered the Different Space, followed its underground river, and used Bai Ze’s Inner Core to guide her through the darkness.
• Xue Fuyao reached a glowing ancient tree wrapped in chains, where the Inner Core awakened Bai Ze’s illusory figure.
• Bai Ze used the Inner Core’s energy to shatter the chains, draining the ancient tree’s life until his soul became solid.
• Bai Ze told Xue Fuyao that bringing his Inner Core had made his escape seem easy and that he knew everything in the world, past and future.
• Xue Fuyao asked Bai Ze about her future, but he refused to answer.

After Bai Ze left, the collapsing Different Space sent Xue Fuyao to the Western Continent, where she confirmed her location and planned to return to the Southern Continent. A group of Buddhist Sect disciples then entered the restaurant, interrupting her plans to leave the next day.

• Bai Ze refused to predict Xue Fuyao's future, thanked her, and vanished, leaving her trapped in the collapsing Different Space.
• Xue Fuyao escaped the collapsing space and arrived in an unfamiliar place, where she concealed her appearance and changed her sex to male.
• Xue Fuyao used the Compass to find a town and carried a fragment of the chains that had imprisoned Bai Ze.
• At a restaurant, Xue Fuyao overheard patrons discussing fighting between the Golden Kingdom and the Cloud Kingdom and realized she was in the Western Continent.
• Xue Fuyao decided to head back to the Southern Continent, but several Buddhist Sect disciples entered the restaurant.

Xue Fuyao was confronted by Buddhist Sect monks who tried to force her to convert, so she defeated and abducted them. After using the Soul-Seizing Technique to inspect their memories, she discovered their vile deeds and grew even more determined to deal with them.

• A monk blocked Xue Fuyao from leaving a restaurant, claiming she needed purification and urging her to convert to the Buddhist Sect.
• Xue Fuyao mocked the monks for asking her to betray her sect, then kicked one aside when they tried to seize her by force.
• She bound the injured monks with the Immortal-Binding Rope and took them to a grove while the town's cultivators stayed out of it.

• The remaining monks begged for mercy, but Xue Fuyao used the Soul-Seizing Technique on them and found their memories filled with vile deeds.

Xue Fuyao discovered that the Buddhist disciples who had attacked her were former bandits extorting nearby towns, killed them, and learned that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple controlled travel out of the Western Continent. While searching a marsh for herbs, she checked whether her Dark Guards were there and learned that none had managed to enter.

• Xue Fuyao searched the men's Storage Bags, found goods they had extorted from nearby communities, burned their bodies, and imprisoned their souls in the Heavenheart Bottle.
• Several Life Tablets belonging to low-ranking Ten Thousand Buddha Temple disciples shattered, prompting the monk guarding them to investigate and consider whether they had been killed.
• Xue Fuyao learned the men had targeted her because a special technique made her appear dazzling, and she resolved to avoid Buddhist Sect disciples.
• Xue Fuyao headed to a marsh to find Seven-Star Grass and Black Spirit Ear while considering how she could leave the Western Continent, where Teleportation Arrays were controlled by the Buddhist Sect and required costly payments and bribes.
• Xue Fuyao asked her Dark Guards whether any were in the Western Continent, and Sanqi reported that none had entered because access was tightly controlled and expensive.

Xue Fuyao harvested Black Spirit Ear and ancient Seven-Star Grass in a marsh, then negotiated with a Two-Headed Snake that had come to reclaim the grass. After trading the grass for one tooth from each head, she accidentally dropped a black box that immediately captivated the snakes.

• Xue Fuyao found and harvested Black Spirit Ear and over five-thousand-year-old Seven-Star Grass in the marsh.

• The Purple Pupil and Golden Pupil each pulled out a tooth and gave it to Xue Fuyao.
• Xue Fuyao took out the box containing the Seven-Star Grass but accidentally dropped a black box radiating scorching energy, which drew both snakes' attention.

Xue Fuyao contracted with the Two-Headed Snake brothers, Purple Pupil and Golden Pupil, and learned they knew of an ancient Teleportation Array that might let her leave the Western Continent. She set out for Seahorse Island with them, then entered a human city to buy a suitable Spirit Beast Pouch.

• Xue Fuyao warned the Two-Headed Snake that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had found them, and Golden Pupil asked her to take the brothers in.
• Xue Fuyao accepted Purple Pupil and Golden Pupil as contracted spirit pets after they listed their strengths.
• Purple Pupil told Xue Fuyao about an unreliable Teleportation Array on Seahorse Island, and she followed his directions toward it.
• Purple Pupil explained that the Snake Clan considered two-headed snakes an ill omen, and the brothers described how they escaped being killed as hatchlings.
• Xue Fuyao gave the brothers dragon meat, unaware that it brought out faint golden markings in their scales.
• Xue Fuyao avoided monks on the way to a human city and went to buy a higher-grade Spirit Beast Pouch for the brothers.

Xue Fuyao bought a Spirit Beast Pouch and a large supply of blank Formation Disks, hoping to repair and reconstruct the Teleportation Array. She left with the materials after paying two hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, while considering how she might benefit from the Buddhist Sect’s control of the Western Continent.

• Xue Fuyao bought a high-grade Spirit Beast Pouch, and Purple Pupil and Golden Pupil climbed inside it.
• Xue Fuyao asked the clerk for blank Formation Disks so she could try repairing the Teleportation Array and work out its complete formation.
• Xue Fuyao considered the Buddhist Sect’s control of the Western Continent and thought she could take a share of its resources.
• The clerk led Xue Fuyao to the third floor, where she ordered a thousand Formation Disks of every material available.
• Xue Fuyao paid two hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones and checked that the Formation Disks had been delivered in the correct quantities.
