Huang Xiao and a gathering of elders crossed Mist Mountain’s formation, where a contest for the Longevity Pill ended with Du Fuzhou secretly capturing its remaining medicinal aura. The search for the other half sent the experts after Xuanyuan Xing, while Jiang Pandong’s group broke into Imperial Remnant Manor to steal Divine Beast essence blood for Jiang Pannan.

• Li Bai brought Jiang Liuli to the Three Immortal Mountains, where she clashed with Huang Xiao’s other wives, and Wu Xuancang agreed to shelter the three Heavenly Evil Sect members who had helped her escape the Sword Pavilion.
• Feng He and Huo Lian brought Huang Xiao into Mist Mountain, where the formation drained the group’s true qi but Huang Xiao’s strength and heart fire helped him endure its pressure.
• Wu Xuancang and the other experts joined the contest, and Huang Xiao used his heart fire to help break through the formation and reveal Longevity Pills in the mist vortices.
• Mo Pozheng arrived, identified himself as the Tomb Clan’s chief, and took Huang Xiao’s two pills, while the group learned the formation had not yet yielded the genuine Longevity Pill.
• The formation demonstrated how heart fire could temper acupoints, and its vortices eventually formed a half-green, half-white Longevity Pill that Huang Xiao’s heart fire resonated with.
• The experts fought over the pill until Du Fuzhou used the Longevity Bottle to absorb its remaining medicinal aura, leaving the pill white and powerless, and Huang Xiao sensed what the bottle had captured but kept quiet.
• Pang Ji, Mo Pozheng, and others demanded that Xuanyuan Xing explain the Longevity Pill aura at Imperial Remnant Manor, and Xuanyuan Xing fled as they pursued him.
• Jiang Pandong, Jiang Panxi, and Jiang Panbei infiltrated Imperial Remnant Manor to steal Divine Beast essence blood for Jiang Pannan, but Xuanyuan Song and Tan Ming confronted them as they tried to escape.

Imperial Remnant Manor endured an assault by powerful sect leaders seeking the Longevity Pill, until Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly awakened and revealed the truth about the pill. The conflict then shifted to Huang Xiao, whose healing aura drew Chao Hun, Feng He, Huo Lian, and Pang Ji into a deadly struggle over his secrets and the Demon Hall’s authority.

• Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly entered seclusion, while Xuanyuan Xing ordered the manor’s formations rebuilt and arranged for the Heavenly Evil Sect and Demon Spirit Sect to follow its lead.

• Feng He trapped Chao Hun and began absorbing his essence blood, but Huo Lian intervened, and the two men tore Chao Hun in half while Huang Xiao watched.
• Feng He and Pang Ji argued over Huo Lian’s essence-blood method and Huang Xiao’s hidden flaw, while Mo Pozheng declared his loyalty to the Hall Master and Wu Xuancang challenged the Demon Hall’s Thousand-Year Period.

Huo Lian and Feng He prepared to confront the First Hall Master, while Du Fuzhou awakened two ancient figures with the Longevity Pill’s aura. Huang Xiao became Heavenly Demon Hall Master and began training to strengthen his sound arts ahead of the Hall Master Contest.

• Huo Lian and Feng He agreed to cultivate fighters with powerful essence blood, while Huang Xiao left for the Heavenly Demon Hall with the Supreme Ghost Stele.
• Du Fuzhou used the Longevity Bottle in the forbidden gorge, awakening Zuo Qiu Shu and Old Fan, who learned that ten thousand years had passed and considered joining the forces against the Demon Hall.
• Huang Xiao returned to the Heavenly Demon Hall, where Shi Hen chose him to replace Zhu Xing E as Hall Master and explained that the role would prepare him to command the Demon Hall.

• Shi Hen taught Huang Xiao Sound Art Qi Transformation, whose effects Huang Xiao countered with Sound Art Qi Control, though practicing the new technique damaged his meridians.

• Shi Hen explained how Sound Art Qi Control had prolonged his life, and Huang Xiao practiced it before crossing the threshold of Sound Art Qi Transformation.
• Shi Hen set up a formation so Huang Xiao could practice safely against Fan Liya, then unsealed Fan Liya’s acupoints as Huang Xiao used Sound Art Qi Transformation on him.

Huang Xiao gained control over Fan Liya and used him to advance his cultivation before Fan Liya was released. Meanwhile, ancient figures returned and old conflicts resurfaced, leaving Fan Zhuolang and Zuo Qiu Shu with Huo Lian at Mist Mountain, discussing the Heavenly Evil Imperishable Art and the Immortal Alchemist.

• Huang Xiao survived Fan Liya’s attempt to seize the Supreme Ghost Stele, trapped Fan Liya’s divine sense inside it, and bound him with the Soul-Imprisoning Ghost Curse.
