• Zhou Chun praised Zhang Liang’s formation talent and gave him a Spirit Opening Pill, urging him to repay the Zhou Family’s trust.

He awakened two powerful natal divine abilities and began refining the Myriad Transformation Golden Cauldron, which started absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy as the chapter ended.

There he tested the Slaughtering God Golden Halberd and showed his new treasure to the Su Family Ancestor, while the family awaited news of Daoist Qingchen’s attempt to form a Nascent Soul.

• Zhou Chun recovered after refining the Myriad Transformation Golden Cauldron, learned that Yu Jinghua had begun leaving the Spirit Taming Sect, and arranged for the cultivator surnamed Zeng to come for treatment.

Zhou Chun recovered his vital energy and learned that Daoist Qingchen had failed the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation, weakening Green Lotus Temple. Green Lotus Temple’s leaders then resolved to strike the Zhou Family, leaving the two forces on the brink of conflict.

• Zhou Chun struggled to master Gold Evasion Technique while recuperating, then returned to the Zhou Family and received Spiritual Peaches from Lin Hongyu and Zhou Daoyi.
• Zhou Chun restored his vital energy, learned that Green Lotus Temple had sealed its mountain during Daoist Qingchen’s Nascent Soul attempt, and went to watch from outside its formation.

• Daoist Yiyang convened Green Lotus Temple’s elders and called for action to restore the sect’s authority; Qing Weizi urged them to strike the Zhou Family hard.

Green Lotus Temple’s elders disagreed over attacking the Zhou Family, and Daoist Yiyang decided to ask the Moon Wheel Sect for its position. The sect then demanded that the Zhou Family give up Nine Peaks Ridge or settle its ownership through three bouts with Green Lotus Temple, leaving Zhou Chun to ask how the contests would work.

• Qingsongzi refused to join an attack on the Zhou Family, and two other early Golden Core elders followed his stance.
• Daoist Nun Qingsu warned that the temple could not afford a drawn-out conflict and advised Daoist Yiyang to consult the Moon Wheel Sect.
• Daoist Yiyang agreed to visit the Moon Wheel Sect and invite its representatives to Daoist Qingchen’s memorial ceremony.
• Zhou Chun arranged for Zhou Family juniors and several Violet Palace cultivators to take refuge elsewhere in case the family was attacked.
• Su Yunniang told Zhou Chun that the Zhou Family must surrender Nine Peaks Ridge or send people to compete with Green Lotus Temple in three bouts.

The Zhou Family prepared for a wagered battle against Green Lotus Temple to decide whether they could keep Nine Peaks Ridge, but the Moon Wheel Sect offered little practical help. The first match began with Zhou Daoyi and Daoist Hongyang fighting alongside their spirit beasts, and Hongyang’s unexpected Golden Flame Lion threatened the Zhou Family’s best chance of victory.

• Su Yunniang told Zhou Chun that the wagered battle would take place in a month, with three matches, and that the Moon Wheel Sect would not lend the Zhou Family powerful Pseudo-Treasures.
• Zhou Chun, Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde, and Zhou Daoyi discussed their candidates and equipment, then Zhou Chun gave Lin Hongyu the Blazing Flame Gauntlets and supplied Zhou Daoyi with talismanic weapons.
• True Person Bai Yue warned Zhou Chun to restrain the Zhou Family’s rapid growth, and Zhou Chun promised that the family would develop more cautiously.
• At the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate, Daoist Yiyang’s party arrived with Yan Lingzi, Xuan Shuangzi, and Daoist Hongyang, who was assigned to fight Zhou Daoyi in the first match.
• Daoist Hongyang released a third-tier mid-grade Golden Flame Lion, and True Person Bai Yue confirmed it was Hongyang’s contracted Spirit Pet despite Zhou Chun’s objection.
• Zhou Daoyi and Daoist Hongyang exchanged powerful attacks as the Azure Flood Dragon fought the Golden Flame Lion, leaving Zhou Daoyi dependent on his Spirit Pet to overcome Hongyang’s Pseudo-Treasure and talismans.

Zhou Daoyi won the first wagered battle by using costly secret medicines and the Great God Slaying Method to defeat Daoist Hongyang, while Lin Hongyu conceded the second battle to Xuan Shuangzi. Zhou Chun then began the deciding third battle against Yan Lingzi, revealing the formidable defenses of his Qianyuan Golden Radiance and the varied attacks of his Golden Cauldron.

• Zhou Daoyi took an Exploding Yuan Pill while his Azure Flood Dragon swallowed a Blood Yuan Reverse Spirit Pill, boosting both of their combat power at great future cost.
• Daoist Hongyang used a secret technique to increase his strength, but Zhou Daoyi struck his Violet Palace with the Great God Slaying Method, allowing the Azure Flood Dragon to wound and defeat him.
• True Person Bai Yue declared Zhou Daoyi the winner, and Zhou Chun sent the weakened elder away with Su Yunniang to recuperate.
• Lin Hongyu fought Xuan Shuangzi for more than an hour before conceding the second battle to protect her magic treasures.
