Yu Sheng documented an unfamiliar array at the cave entrance and ventured inside, where he found murals depicting a powerful ancient civilization that used Demon Beasts as pets, transport, and weapons. After recording the first three murals, he analyzed what they revealed about the civilization’s people and cultivation, then continued examining the images.

• Yu Sheng photographed and made a rubbing of the cave entrance array, which appeared to target only the Demon Clan and required no energy core.
• Yu Sheng entered the dry, long passage and found increasingly clear signs of human workmanship as he traveled deeper into the mountain.
• Yu Sheng discovered murals showing an ancient city where people kept powerful Demon Beasts and a young man stood apart from the crowds.
• Yu Sheng saw later murals depicting the young man as a leader defending the city from an army, then sitting among the aftermath as its people rebuilt.
• Yu Sheng recorded and analyzed the first three murals, concluding that the ancient humans followed a powerful cultivation-based path and had not researched technology.

Yu Sheng studied murals depicting the City Lord’s struggle to protect his people as disasters worsened and spiritual energy faded, then watched him help create a New World where the experts escaped while the city’s people were abandoned. The murals left Yu Sheng questioning his earlier belief that they were the City Lord’s autobiography, and he documented them before going farther inside.

• The murals showed the City Lord and the city’s Ninth Awakening experts facing escalating natural disasters as spiritual energy weakened.
• The City Lord attended a meeting with other elders, then returned home dejected and unable to meet his people’s trusting gazes.
• The experts suppressed the disasters and created a New World by filling a special Otherworld Space with their Power of Rules.
• The experts and their families entered the New World, leaving the city’s people behind despite their pleas.
• The City Lord sent a bewildered child through the rift, ignored his son’s calls, and returned to the city as the opening closed.
• Yu Sheng reconsidered his theory about the murals, recorded them in videos and photographs, and continued deeper inside.

Yu Sheng explored the Mountain Cave, hoping its burial chamber would contain treasures, but discovered it was a cenotaph and found nothing. He continued down the passage and opened a sturdy door, where dazzling golden light greeted him.

• Yu Sheng found a massive stone door and raised it with a light strike from his Giant Hammer.
• He entered the passage beyond, tested whether the stone door would fall behind him, and continued onward when it stayed open.
• Yu Sheng reached a burial chamber and found a rotted, empty coffin with carved writing above it, realizing it was a cenotaph.
• He photographed the writing and followed the remaining passage to an ordinary-looking metal door.
• Yu Sheng pushed the door open, and dazzling golden light shone over him.

Yu Sheng found the real entrance at the mountain’s foot and realized the murals had been backward, revealing a history of the city and its leaders rather than a burial chamber. He spent the rest of the day searching the Divine Ruins but found little beyond the cheetah’s Demon Crystal and Demon Core.

• Yu Sheng smashed the hidden door at the mountain’s foot and put it into the Mountains and Rivers Bottle.
• Yu Sheng examined the murals in reverse and saw the old man leave his city, conflicts and disasters follow, and a young man later overlook a thriving city.
• Yu Sheng realized the mountain chamber had not been a burial chamber and hurried away, hoping Sun Wen and the others would not learn of his mistake.
• Yu Sheng searched the nearby terrain and the lake throughout the day but found nothing significant.
• Yu Sheng returned to the valley and recovered the cheetah’s Demon Crystal and Demon Core.

Yu Sheng reunited with Sun Wen in the Divine Ruins and discovered that the peaceful places around him were full of dangers for Sun Wen. After Sun Wen cleaned up and joined him, they set off together to search for treasure.

• Sun Wen, covered in blood, ran through a stretch of grassland while vines repeatedly attacked him, and Yu Sheng recognized him.
• Sun Wen showed Yu Sheng the fruits, Demon Plants, and small jade-like sword he had collected while being attacked.
• Sun Wen rushed toward the lake to wash, but aquatic weeds dragged him underwater until Yu Sheng approached and scared them off.
• Sun Wen changed into fresh clothes from Yu Sheng's Mountains and Rivers Bottle and declared that they would claim the Divine Ruins' treasures.
• Yu Sheng walked on without responding as Sun Wen followed him, boasting and asking about the treasures Yu Sheng had found.

Sun Wen accidentally found seeds hidden inside a hollow tree, then told Yu Sheng about a tomb near a mountain. They headed toward it together, while Yu Sheng wondered whether the nearby mountain he had already explored might also hold something.

• Sun Wen tried to distract Yu Sheng by chopping into a tree and unexpectedly uncovered a battered wooden box filled with seed-like objects.
• Yu Sheng chopped down six other trees but found no treasure, and one of them turned out to be a demon plant.
• Sun Wen asked Yu Sheng for storage space and emptied many items from his pockets.
• Sun Wen said he had found a tomb in a mountain cave, and Yu Sheng realized the mountain was beside the one he had jumped from.
• Sun Wen and Yu Sheng set off toward the tomb, encountering more dangers and troublesome traps along the way.

Sun Wen led Yu Sheng into a hidden Mountain Cave, where they found an array-protected trove of Fire Attribute Crystal Stones. Yu Sheng broke the stones free, and after Sun Wen counted 179 of them and estimated their value at a few hundred million, Yu Sheng again sensed that something about his strange day was wrong.

• Sun Wen revealed a concealed Mountain Cave and persuaded Yu Sheng to enter first while he covered the entrance with vines.
• Yu Sheng noticed that the cave’s passage resembled another Mountain Cave he had explored, though this one sloped upward.
• Yu Sheng found red Crystal Stones covering the walls and photographed the array patterns before cutting through them with his sword.
• Yu Sheng used his Giant Hammer to break the cave wall and knock the Crystal Stones loose, then gathered them with Sun Wen.
• Sun Wen counted 179 Fire Attribute Crystal Stones and estimated that selling them through the Ink Pavilion could bring in a few hundred million.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen explored a trapped passage in the Divine Ruins, where Sun Wen’s luck appeared to draw both danger and treasure. After finding two mysterious fruits, Yu Sheng wondered whether Sun Wen would trade his Gold Yuanbao for a combat-type Awakening Object.

• A hidden array attacked Sun Wen, but Yu Sheng rescued him and redirected the blast into the array, destroying it.
• Yu Sheng suspected Sun Wen’s Gold Yuanbao attracted danger as well as wealth, then used moles to find a safe route through the trapped passage.
• Sun Wen complained that they had found no treasure, and two strange, electric fruits appeared shortly afterward.
• Yu Sheng considered whether gold coating could improve his Awakening Objects and asked Sun Wen if he would trade his object for a combat-type one.
• Sun Wen grew uneasy at the question, and Yu Sheng turned back toward the fruits and reached for them while using the Power of Rules.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen explored the Divine Ruins, collected treasures, and fell into mutual suspicion as Yu Sheng tried to coax Sun Wen into drinking water. The chapter ended with Sun Wen testing Yu Sheng’s identity and gripping a bomb while Yu Sheng confronted him.

• Yu Sheng used the Power of Rules to grab two lightning-covered fruits and stored them in the Mountains and Rivers Bottle.
• Yu Sheng repeatedly asked Sun Wen if he was thirsty and finally got him to drink a bottle of water, hoping to make him willing to trade Awakening Objects.
• Yu Sheng and Sun Wen continued through the Divine Ruins, collecting several ordinary crystal stones.
• Sun Wen grew suspicious of Yu Sheng’s strange behavior and wondered whether he was an illusionary creature.
• Sun Wen casually asked whether Yu Sheng had seen Gaga while secretly readying a bomb, and Yu Sheng asked why he was testing him.

Yu Sheng learned that Sun Wen’s Blessing had ended and left him with unusually bad luck, then encountered Xiao Nan after he crashed into their cave. Xiao Nan removed a Human-Skin Mask and tried to reassure Yu Sheng, who remained poised with his hammer.

• Yu Sheng admitted he had been trying to get on Sun Wen’s good side because he wanted his Awakening Object.
• Sun Wen blessed Yu Sheng again and explained that when the blessing ended, Yu Sheng would suffer two years of bad luck.
• Yu Sheng wondered whether ordinary members might trade for an Awakening Object and headed down the passage with Sun Wen.
• A young man smashed through the ceiling into the cave, claiming he had found a tomb chamber and asking for help with his broken flashlight.
• The man introduced himself as Xiao Nan, then removed a Human-Skin Mask that had made him look like Yu Sheng’s twin.
• Xiao Nan explained that he had worn his big brother’s face to make things easier, while Yu Sheng silently raised his hammer.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen confronted Xiao Nan in a Mountain Cave, where Yu Sheng tried to seize the Ten Thousand Poisons Fruit. Xiao Nan admitted he had not brought it and agreed to answer Yu Sheng’s questions.

• Xiao Nan revealed that he was Yu Sheng’s childhood friend and had escaped Sin City a year before him.
• Yu Sheng asked whether Xiao Nan had received and eaten the Ten Thousand Poisons Fruit, and Xiao Nan first denied having eaten it before correcting himself.
• Yu Sheng ordered Xiao Nan to face the wall, and Sun Wen searched his pockets, finding several valuable treasures but no Ten Thousand Poisons Fruit.
• Yu Sheng speculated about detaining Xiao Nan and searching his home for the fruit, prompting Xiao Nan to accuse him of abusing his authority.
• Xiao Nan dropped his humble act, lit a cigarette, and asked Yu Sheng what he wanted to know, while Sun Wen watched and wondered how to learn his knack for changing faces.

Yu Sheng interrogated Xiao Nan about Old Codger and learned that Old Codger was Yu Sanshui, who had sent Xiao Nan to find an item in the Divine Ruins. After Xiao Nan left, Yu Sheng wondered whether Yu Sanshui was his biological father, while Sun Wen noted that the story might have been misleading.

• Yu Sheng threatened Xiao Nan with a hammer and sword until Xiao Nan revealed that Old Codger was Yu Sanshui.
• Xiao Nan said Yu Sanshui had ordered him to find a Tomb Chamber in the Divine Ruins and take an item from its Coffin.
• Xiao Nan explained that Yu Sanshui had questioned him about Sin City and Yu Sheng, paying him 100,000 yuan and taking a stake in his store before Xiao Nan later got rid of the shares.
• Yu Sheng let Xiao Nan leave the Mountain Cave, then asked Sun Wen whether Yu Sanshui was his biological father.
• Sun Wen said there were multiple possible explanations and Yu Sanshui might have misled them; Yu Sheng then revealed that the mental illness certificate belonged to someone else.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen discovered that the eyes watching them in the passage came from demonized plants embedded in the walls. They reached a vast tomb chamber where heavy breathing came from the darkness, and Yu Sheng and Sun Wen prepared to confront whatever was inside.

• Yu Sheng explained that he had prepared a diagnostic report to frighten Xiao Nan, whose childhood torture left him afraid of mentally ill people.
• Yu Sheng and Sun Wen sensed many creatures watching them and searched the passage for the source.
• Yu Sheng smashed the wall with his Giant Hammer, revealing small, blood-like fruits embedded inside it.
• Sun Wen examined one of the fruits and concluded that the demonized plants contained no extractable energy.
• Yu Sheng and Sun Wen reached the tomb chamber, where Sun Wen aimed his pistol and Yu Sheng switched off his flashlight as they heard heavy breathing.

Yu Sheng followed the cheetah into a treasure-filled tomb chamber and watched it trigger a hidden trap. After the wounded cheetah spotted him, it attacked, and Yu Sheng noticed it had stepped on another pale blue floor tile.

• Yu Sheng entered the tomb chamber and found a jade coffin, lifelike animal sculptures, Treasure Grade Demon Plants, and other potential riches.
• Yu Sheng watched a cheetah cautiously approach the coffin, mistakenly believing it was wary of the tiger sculpture.
• The cheetah triggered a trap that fired enchanted crossbow bolts, and one pierced its shoulder.
• Yu Sheng switched on his flashlight and confronted the cheetah, which recognized him as a human and launched a surprise attack.
• Yu Sheng stayed still and noticed the cheetah had pressed down a pale blue floor tile.

Yu Sheng froze and subdued a cheetah, then questioned it about the force that had entered the tomb. The cheetah revealed the Demon Domain Lord’s plans and offered every detail it knew.

• Yu Sheng used a glowing floor tile to slow the charging cheetah with frost, then strapped bombs around its neck.
• The cheetah argued that Yu Sheng would be buried if he detonated the bombs, but Yu Sheng pointed out he could leave the Mountain Cave first.
• Yu Sheng broke the cheetah’s hind leg with a Giant Hammer, preventing it from catching him if he escaped.
• The cheetah told Yu Sheng that the Demon Domain Lord, the Eight-Tailed Fox, had sent more than twenty tribe members led by three six-tailed foxes, one of them its legitimate son with red fur between his brows.
• The cheetah added that the three six-tailed foxes carried single-use demon artifacts and recalled seeing one of them beside a lake to the east.

Yu Sheng killed the treacherous cheetah and reasoned that the tomb’s stone guardians ignored demon beasts. He and Sun Wen tested the statues, and the giant python statue did not react when Yu Sheng approached it.

• Yu Sheng asked the cheetah to curse him, but it pretended to submit before attacking him and was killed.
• Sun Wen emerged from the Mountain Cave and questioned why Yu Sheng had killed a potential scout.
• Yu Sheng suggested that the stone sculptures ignored the cheetah because they were demon-beast guardians, then looped explosives around the statues from a distance.
• Sun Wen urged Yu Sheng to test the statues before detonating the explosives and proposed approaching them one at a time.
• Yu Sheng approached the giant python statue, which remained still, while Sun Wen recorded the result and directed him toward a vulture statue.

Yu Sheng awakened the phantom of an ancient Beast Race warrior, who learned that the Heavenly Race had fallen and reflected on how the Beast Race had come to resemble its former oppressors. After the phantom disappeared, Yu Sheng briefly questioned what the Human Race might do if it gained power, then returned to his immediate goal of surviving.

• Yu Sheng approached the Fierce Beast statue after Sun Wen noticed its pupils move, and a phantom emerged from it.
• The phantom recognized that the Heavenly Race had fallen and described how it had enslaved and exploited the Beast Race.
• Yu Sheng shared his knowledge of the present world, and the phantom learned that the Beast Race now held the advantage over the Human Race and Demon Clan.
• The phantom recalled its resentment and desire for revenge, then concluded that powerful races tended to enslave or destroy the weak.
• Before disappearing, the phantom asked Yu Sheng whether his people would rule the Demon Clan justly if they won.
• Yu Sheng wondered what the Human Race might become, then focused on staying alive and fighting demons that wanted to kill him.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen opened the second Coffin and found it empty except for a Jade Pendant matching one Yu Sheng had obtained before. Yu Sheng suspected Yu Sanshui knew the Divine Ruins well, but remained uncertain why he wanted the pendant and recalled how he had once separated himself from the dangerous man.

• Sun Wen realized he could not see the soul-like presence Yu Sheng had encountered, and Yu Sheng said it had shared only philosophical reflections.
• Yu Sheng opened the jade Coffin while Sun Wen prepared to cover him, but they found no corpse inside, only an ordinary Jade Pendant.
• Sun Wen searched the empty Coffin and wondered why anyone had built such an elaborate tomb around nothing.
• Yu Sheng compared the two tombs and considered whether their occupants had climbed out after the chambers were built, then questioned whether Yu Sanshui had once emerged from a Coffin.
• Yu Sheng concluded that Yu Sanshui knew a great deal about the Divine Ruins and might have visited them, but he could not determine why the man wanted the Jade Pendant.
• Yu Sheng recalled Yu Sanshui presenting proof that they were father and son, taking him home, and later prompting Yu Sheng to find ways to distance himself from him.

Yu Sheng uncovered a hidden basement beneath the Coffin after realizing Sun Wen’s Awakening Object had not revealed everything. Inside, they found energy-rich Crystal Stones of every attribute, all apparently raised to top grade over thousands of years.

• Yu Sheng wondered what Yu Sanshui wanted from him and whether the Jade Pendant was part of a scheme.
• Sun Wen examined the Coffin and concluded it had no value, so Yu Sheng smashed it with his Giant Hammer.
• After questioning Sun Wen about his Awakening Object, Yu Sheng began striking the ground beneath the Coffin.
• Yu Sheng broke through the floor and revealed a small basement filled with energy and dusty Wooden Boxes.
• Yu Sheng opened a box to reveal top-grade Crystal Stones, and Sun Wen marveled at their value and noted that Xu Bighead could not enter the Divine Ruins.

Yu Sheng and Sun Wen discovered crystal stones in a mountain cave and learned that Sun Wen’s Skill guided them toward wealth, while boasting triggered mishaps. Meanwhile, Yu Sanshui continued pursuing Black Robe until she fled through the wilderness with him following close behind.

• Yu Sheng found crystal stones, rotten fruits, and books that crumbled to ash in the chests, and concluded that Sun Wen’s Skill led people toward existing wealth rather than creating it.
• Sun Wen boasted after leaving the cave and was frozen by a hidden floor tile, so Yu Sheng freed him and urged him to stay quiet.
• Yu Sheng and Sun Wen avoided further accidents and plundered the surrounding area for several miles.
• Black Robe told Yu Sanshui to leave her alone, but he declared his love and offered to let her attack him.
• Black Robe walked away, and Yu Sanshui followed her through the wilderness as they moved faster and faster without a destination.

Yu Mo dismissed Chu Huai’s ambition to lead the Light Group, while Chu Huai agreed to resume hunting Soul Hunt. In Skyvault Ravine, Old White Ape and Ji Hong decided to approach the Black Flood Dragon King as they built their own power.

• Chu Huai complained that Yu Mo had left him idle and said he wanted to live in the spotlight.
• Yu Mo told Chu Huai he still lacked what it took to lead the Light Group.
• Chu Huai agreed to investigate Soul Hunt and left Yu Mo’s office.
• Old White Ape wondered why Eight-Tailed Fox had stopped reacting to his actions in Skyvault Ravine.
• Old White Ape and Ji Hong decided to build their own force while Eight-Tailed Fox was occupied, beginning with the Black Flood Dragon King.

Old White Ape and Ji Hong planned to recruit the Black Flood Dragon King and unite Skyvault Ravine while the Eight-Tailed Fox left the clan vulnerable. Meanwhile, Sun Wen and Yu Sheng continued gathering unknown treasures in the Divine Ruins.

• Ji Hong explained that the Eight-Tailed Fox had little reason to protect the Black Flood Dragon Clan and could profit by letting other tribes strip it of its status and wealth.
• Old White Ape and Ji Hong agreed to bring the Black Flood Dragon King into their fold and quickly expand their territory and forces in Skyvault Ravine.
• Ji Hong set out to gather his former subordinates, while Old White Ape chose a bright red robe and went to approach the Black Flood Dragon King.
• In the Divine Ruins, Sun Wen found an unfamiliar pale blue fruit among demon plant corpses and gave it to Yu Sheng to store.
• Sun Wen and Yu Sheng, after two days and nights of searching and looting, found treasures even in places Yu Sheng had already visited.

Sun Wen persuaded Yu Sheng to stop collecting treasures and search the Divine Ruins for the important site or object that Yu Mo and the Eight-Tailed Fox were watching. At the ruins’ central basin, Zhao Zicheng and his companions confronted a Six-Tailed Fox and two cheetahs, and the fox trapped Zhao Zicheng in an illusion.

• Sun Wen reasoned that the Divine Ruins contained a valuable location or item and proposed searching the entire wasteland at full speed.
• Yu Sheng agreed, and he and Sun Wen began racing through the Divine Ruins without stopping to gather treasures.
• At a grand, overgrown building in the central basin, a Six-Tailed Fox demanded that Zhao Zicheng, Zhou Sheng, and Yu Shuang withdraw.
• Zhao Zicheng challenged the Six-Tailed Fox while Zhou Sheng and Yu Shuang faced the two cheetahs.
• The Six-Tailed Fox used its illusion ability on Zhao Zicheng, making him see himself on a throne surrounded by admirers and kneeling soldiers.

Zhao Zicheng broke free of the Six-Tailed Fox’s illusion and fought off his attacks with the Sandbag, using battlefield instincts to survive the fox’s elusive hit-and-run assault. The Six-Tailed Fox vanished again after Zhao Zicheng anticipated one of his strikes, leaving their fight unresolved.

• Zhao Zicheng escaped the Six-Tailed Fox’s illusion and blocked his opening attack with the Sandbag.
• The Six-Tailed Fox recalled the brutal trials of his childhood, then regained control and acknowledged Zhao Zicheng’s strength.
• Zhao Zicheng sensed the Six-Tailed Fox behind him and swung the Sandbag to block his second attack, though the impact sent him flying.
• The Six-Tailed Fox used his Talent Divine Ability to strike from shifting positions, cutting Zhao Zicheng’s arm while taunting him.
• Zhao Zicheng predicted the Six-Tailed Fox’s attack from behind and slammed the Sandbag into the empty air, forcing the fox to retreat before he vanished again.

Zhao Zicheng, Zhou Sheng, and Yu Shuang joined forces against the Six-Tailed Fox despite their severe injuries, while Sun Wen and Yu Sheng spotted a building at the center of the Divine Ruins. The chapter ended with Sun Wen recognizing Zhao Zicheng in danger and urging Yu Sheng to attack.

• Zhao Zicheng wounded the Six-Tailed Fox with a dagger and detonated four hidden explosives, but the fox quickly healed and left him badly injured.
• Zhou Sheng and Yu Shuang arrived after defeating the cheetah, and the three prepared to fight the Six-Tailed Fox together.
• Zhao Zicheng charged while Zhou Sheng and Yu Shuang attacked from the sides, and the Six-Tailed Fox vanished as their battle resumed.
• Sun Wen reached a mountaintop with Yu Sheng and spotted a building he believed stood at the center of the Divine Ruins.
• Yu Sheng raced toward the basin, and Sun Wen recognized Zhao Zicheng before shouting for Yu Sheng to attack.
