Chapter Summaries

Su Yi tested the influence of Sage Tongtian’s name while Nangong Si and Jiang Wuying argued over the ancient true dragon ruins beneath Ice Wind City. He offered to help Jiang Wuying find the tomb, leaving Nangong Si stunned by his apparent support for the Demon Clan.

• Su Yi spent a fist-sized spirit stone on a meal, prompting the waiter to treat him as Sage Tongtian’s disciple.
• Nangong Si arrived and tried to learn whether Su Yi had come with instructions from the Sage, but Su Yi said he was only passing through.

• Jiang Wuying said she had cut off Nangong Si’s reinforcements and threatened to search the city herself.
• After the waiter served the food, Su Yi offered to help Jiang Wuying locate the tomb, shocking Nangong Si.

Su Yi agreed to help Jiang Wuying search for the supposed ancient ruins, while secretly knowing that the real prize was the sealed beast Jiuying. After Jiang Wuying left, Nangong Si challenged Su Yi’s claim to be a disciple of a Sage, and Su Yi proved it by revealing Sect Leader Tongtian’s Purple Lightning Hammer.

• Su Yi agreed to help Jiang Wuying trace dragon veins and arranged to meet her a hundred li east of Ice Wind City the next day.

Su Yi convinced Nangong Si that he was Sage Tongtian’s disciple by revealing the Purple Lightning Hammer, then insisted on going to Numinous Buddha Temple to investigate the ancient true dragon ruins. He left Nangong Si’s sealed room without breaking its formation, leaving the city lord shaken and uncertain of Su Yi’s abilities.

• Su Yi showed Nangong Si the Purple Lightning Hammer, and Nangong Si decided to treat him as Sage Tongtian’s disciple rather than risk challenging him.

• Nangong Si followed Su Yi, hoping he would not cause too much trouble.

Jinchanzi accepted the Buddha’s order to travel to Ice Wind City and subdue Jiuying, while Su Yi and Nangong Si arrived at Numinous Buddha Temple amid competing plans to rescue Jiuying and claim an ancient dragon’s remains. Bodhisattva Sarvanivarana-Vishkambhin challenged Su Yi’s claim that he was Sage Tongtian’s disciple.

• The Buddha ordered Jinchanzi to subdue Jiuying and gave him a bodhi seed, promising he could travel from east to west and return to Spirit Mountain in a hundred years.

Su Yi entered Ice Wind City and agreed to free Jiang Wuying’s ancestor, Jiuying, despite Nangong Si’s warning that the Heavenly Court had dispatched Bian Zhuang. He sent Nangong Si to summon Bian Zhuang and ordered Jiang Wuying to spread rumors about Jinchanzi, then led her to Jiuying’s prison, where Ji Wudi barred their way.

• After Su Yi broke Bian Zhuang’s divine artifact, Bian Zhuang gave up resisting and agreed to join Su Yi’s project.
• Su Yi told Bian Zhuang to wait in Ice Wind City for Ye Xiaxuan, provoke her into battles, and use the name Zhu Wuneng, with the courtesy name Bajie.

• Su Yi beat the two great emperors at their game and asked Great Emperor Ziwei to lend him Bian Zhuang.
• Great Emperor Ziwei objected because he had promised Bian Zhuang to the Buddhist Sect for the Journey to the West Calamity, so Su Yi knocked over the board and drew the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
