• Chu Xisheng saw that he had earned a large Martial Dao Points reward and followed Si into the Secret Realm.
• Chu discovered that regional restrictions had disabled the Qin Muge Character Card upon entry, leaving him without its protection.

Chu Xisheng studied the Enlightenment Steles in Divine Ao Rogue Person’s trial and suspected that one diagram concealed a complete sword move, but he struggled to decipher it before time ran out. To improve his chances of earning the trial’s rewards, he spent his remaining Martial Dao Points to redeem the Qin Muge Age Ten Character Card.

• Chu Xisheng and Zhou Liangchen entered the plaza and learned that they had two hours to comprehend the Enlightenment Steles for rewards.
• Si Huangquan, Zhuo Baiyun, Li Manshan, and Zhou Liangchen quickly marked steles, while Chu Xisheng remained seated to investigate hidden nuances in the sword diagram.

• Chu Xisheng secured his gains and spent his remaining thirteen Martial Dao Points to redeem the Qin Muge Age Ten Character Card.

After using Qin Muge’s Character Card, Chu Xisheng quickly understood the hidden ultimate move in the central stele’s picture and demonstrated it before the gathered martial artists. He then cut matching scars into the other Comprehension steles and returned to the central one while Si Huangquan was still studying.

• Chu Xisheng returned to the central stele after seven quarter-hours and found Si Huangquan still studying the eighth stele.

Chu Xisheng won the Secret Realm’s greatest rewards after comprehending the complete sword move, gaining a stronger talent and the Wind-Thunder Armlet.

• Chu Xisheng dismissed the threat and led Zhou Liangchen and the Zhou Family along the path deeper into the Secret Realm.

Chu Xisheng reached the four paths and found hundreds of Martial Cultivators preparing to surround him, but he advanced into their midst rather than retreat. When five spearmen attacked, he killed them with one saber strike, leaving the plaza stunned.

The other factions learned that the Demon Character Path might contain powerful demons and chose to enter the Ghost Character Path together.

• Chu Xisheng intimidated the gathered Martial Cultivators, passed through the crowd, and waited in vain for the Azure Cloud Prodigies to challenge him.

In the Demon Character Path, Chu Xisheng sensed an unseen watcher and found his group surrounded by enormous snakes and saber-toothed tigers.

• Mu Ling examined the five bodies and found their vital energy and spirit had vanished.

• The group spotted enormous pythons hanging from the trees and discovered giant saber-toothed tigers blocking the road behind them.

• Chu Xisheng fought off a saber-toothed tiger and realized the beasts were far stronger than their ranks suggested.
• Chu Xisheng spotted giant spiders above the group and led everyone onward while the surrounding beasts watched them.

• Chu Xisheng’s group reached a narrow stone bridge, where giant crocodiles emerged from the river and roared at them.
• Zhou Liangchen caught a man who nearly fell from the bridge, and the man reported that his token had failed to remove him from the Secret Realm.

Chu Xisheng led Zhou Liangchen and the others through the Demon-Character Ancient Road after their tokens failed, while demonic beasts surrounded them without attacking. They reached a plaza bearing a huge “Kill” stele, and people outside the secret realm saw their passage and credited Chu Xisheng with getting them through safely.

• Zhou Liangqiu discovered that the party's tokens could not activate, leaving them unable to exit the secret realm.
• Chu Xisheng hid his fear, urged the Zhou Family party to keep moving, and claimed the beasts were holding one another in check.

• Chu Xisheng's party continued through the gorge as more demonic beasts gathered around them, then emerged onto a white marble plaza with a towering stele inscribed with “Kill.”
• The mist cleared, allowing the people outside to see the party had crossed the gorge; Zhou Xiongba and others concluded Chu Xisheng had helped them pass safely.

After escaping the Demon Character Path, Chu Xisheng integrated the ultimate move Trace of Wind into his Wind-Chasing Blade, but learned that his fame gains were limited by his foundational cultivation. At the training ground, the groups from the Ghost Character Path and God Character Path arrived, and Chu Xisheng asked whether their Secret Realm tokens were still valid.

• Chu Xisheng spent 30 Martial Dao Points to integrate Trace of Wind into his Wind-Chasing Blade, gaining nine moves that could flow seamlessly into the ultimate move.
• Chu Xisheng learned that people perceived his strength as Eighth-Rank Upper, so his fame could only be exchanged for Martial Dao Points at eighty percent until his foundational cultivation advanced.
• Zhou Liangchen pointed out strange blood-red runes covering the plaza, and Chu Xisheng recognized that they seemed to form a formation.

• Chu Xisheng asked the assembled groups whether their Secret Realm tokens were still valid.

The Secret Realm tokens failed, trapping more than four hundred cultivators inside the White Jade Plaza as the Divine Ao Rogue Person announced a two-hour trial of killing and survival. With Chu Xisheng drawing hostile attention, Zhou Liangchen offered to share his family's rewards with allies willing to fight alongside them.

• Ying Haobai forced three Ninth Rank Martial Cultivators to test their Secret Realm tokens, and they discovered the tokens could no longer help them leave.
• Chu Xisheng asked about the blood-colored Magic Array, but Mu Ling and the other Spellcasters could not identify it.
• The Divine Ao Rogue Person sealed the White Jade Plaza, revealed a ranking led by Chu Xisheng, and announced that participants would earn points by killing one another until two hours passed or only one hundred remained.
• Chu Xisheng realized the failed tokens had left everyone trapped, and he noticed the Azure Cloud Prodigies and others turning murderous looks toward him.

• Zhou Liangchen offered to share seventy percent of his family's Spirit Medicine and Secret Realm cultivation slots with as many as fourteen families that helped his side.

• Zhou Liangchen offered five percent of the secret realm’s herb yield and cultivation slots to anyone who helped the Zhou Clan, making Lu Chen’s allies reconsider their loyalties.
• As the factions hesitated to fight, Zhuo Baiyun noticed five blood-colored beads, which exploded and covered the marble square in bloody mist.

• Si Huangquan charged Chu Xisheng, who struck him with two saber moves and cut into his metal body.
• Chu Xisheng saw that Si Huangquan had reached 202 kills, behind Chu Xisheng's 214.

After the slaughter in the White Jade Plaza, Si Huangquan accused Zhuo Baiyun of using Blood Beads to provoke the blood mist, and Mu Ling’s testimony strengthened the survivors’ suspicions. The mysterious ranked contestant Bai Xiao Zhao appeared as a girl who resembled Chu Xisheng almost exactly, leaving him wondering if she was his younger sister.

• The survivors gathered among the corpses as they recognized Chu Xisheng and Si Huangquan’s strength, while Si Huangquan suppressed the blood mist’s influence and held back from fighting Chu Xisheng.

• Chu Xisheng denied that Bai Xiao Zhao was related to him, then noticed writhing marks on participants and found Heart-Entangling Gu listed on his character panel.
• Chu Xisheng and Zhou Liangchen discussed the blood beads and suspected the rankings might reveal someone more suspicious than Zhuo Baiyun or Bai Xiao Zhao.

• Divine Ao Rogue Person transported the participants, and they found themselves in a different location.

Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli arrived near the secret realm and saw the corpses left by the brutal trial, while Temple Master Xuanqing revealed that the deaths had activated the Blood-Origin Rebirth Formation. The Devil God Zangtian descended and began restoring the formation as the crowd fled, and Zhou Xiongba fixed a murderous gaze on someone nearby.
