• Lin Fei warned Izanagi to return to Takamagahara or face its destruction, and Izanagi stopped mid-threat as fear overtook him.

Izanagi discovered that Lin Fei appeared to be only at the Nascent Soul Realm and attacked him, but the Fusang Sacred Tree blocked the strike. Izanagi believed Lin Fei could not control the tree without Golden Crow blood and celebrated his expected victory, while Lin Fei prepared to reveal something.

• Amaterasu Omikami urged Izanagi to exploit Lin Fei’s apparent weakness and seize his opportunities.
• Izanagi overcame his fear, confirmed Lin Fei’s apparent Nascent Soul cultivation, and launched a world-shattering attack.

Lin Fei killed Izanagi, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, then planted the Fusang Sacred Tree in Jianmu Realm to strengthen Earth's spiritual energy and heal his Great Dao injuries. Back at Flying Cloud Mountain Villa, he gave Yinglong two dragon souls and began distributing the spoils from Japan.

• Lin Fei revealed that the golden blood was the soul-essence blood of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Emperor and used the Fusang Sacred Tree to kill Izanagi, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi.
• Lin Fei collected the three treasures Yata no Kagami, Yasakani no Magatama, and the broken Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, then left for Jianmu Realm.

• Lin Fei gave the Nascent Souls to his companions, transferred the Yasakani no Magatama’s divine power into the Nine Li Staff, and used the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword’s power to nourish Immortal-Slaying before giving the Yata no Kagami to Ji Yaoguang.

Duan Canghai captured Howling Celestial Dog and transformed him into a demon under his control, hoping to use him to find Chiyou's corpse. As the cultivation world plotted against the reappeared Heavenly Demon Divine Palace, Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang arrived in Central Plains Province in disguise.

• Duan Canghai defeated Howling Celestial Dog, sealed him inside the Demon-Locking Pagoda, destroyed his soul, and infused his body with demonic blood and Demonic Qi.
• Howling Celestial Dog awakened as Howling Heaven Demon Dog, and Duan Canghai planned to use him to find Chiyou's corpse and regain his former power.

• Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang arrived in Central Plains Province with their appearances altered by the Illusory Appearance Technique.

Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang explored a makeshift cultivation market, where Lin Fei spoiled her with gifts and revealed the vast fortune he had received from Takamagahara’s gods. Their outing ended when they encountered Jiang Qingyue and Wang Ping, making Ji Yaoguang suspect Jiang Qingyue had joined the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace’s scheme.

• Lin Fei led Ji Yaoguang through a cultivation market, where she admired a phoenix hairpin but was confused when the seller asked for spirit stones.
• Lin Fei paid for the hairpin and told Ji Yaoguang that Takamagahara’s gods had given him enormous stores of spirit stones as gifts.
• Lin Fei encouraged Ji Yaoguang to buy whatever she wanted and purchased her jewelry, cosmetics, clothing, and other magical items.
• Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang encountered Jiang Qingyue and Wang Ping, and Ji Yaoguang was unhappy to see Jiang Qingyue at the gathering.

Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang passed Wang Ping and Jiang Qingyue at a market before stopping to watch a tea drinker provoke Nanming Yi. The tea drinker remained unbothered as Nanming Yi threatened him, while Lin Fei recognized something that made Ji Yaoguang reconsider helping.

• Ji Yaoguang asked Lin Fei whether they should help, and Lin Fei's calm response made her realize the tea drinker was not worried.

A tea-drinking young master effortlessly killed a Nascent Soul saber wielder and challenged Nanming Yi of South Radiance Palace. As Nanming Yi prepared to attack, Black Wind Society’s Fourth Squad appeared and addressed the tea drinker as the Fourth Young Master.

Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang reached the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where Lin Fei identified two deadly formations guarding the dragon vein, and Ji Yaoguang asked whether he intended to break them.

• Su Tianshuang fought Jiang Qingyue with his paper fan, then bragged about his looks until Jiang Qingyue threatened to beat him up.

Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang realized the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace was using the dragon-vein threat to test Lin Fei while seeking to bring Huaxia's cultivation world under its control. The next morning, the cultivators gathered before the Hundred Thousand Mountains as Su Tianshuang, Jiang Qingyue, and Fifth Miss Liu Meng arrived with their forces.

• Lin Fei told Ji Yaoguang that Su Tianshuang and Jiang Qingyue had laid the formations to draw cultivators in, not to destroy the dragon vein or massacre them.

• Su Tianshuang and Jiang Qingyue arrived with their forces, followed by Fifth Miss Liu Meng and the Black Wind Society Fifth Squad.

The Huaxia cultivators confronted the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace, whose disciples mocked their challengers from behind a formation.

• The Heavenly Demon Divine Palace disciples gathered with the Black Wind Society while Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang joined the allied cultivators under concealed identities.

• Li Changhe burned the talisman, summoned Patriarch Lü’s ethereal figure, and prompted the gathered cultivators to bow as Lin Fei reluctantly followed suit.

Su Tianshuang used the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace’s power to defeat Lü Dongbin’s avatar and trap the assembled cultivators inside the Heavenly Demon Arena. The Nascent Soul experts remained outside, and Li Changhe argued that the palace was bluffing because it had only captured those below the Nascent Soul Realm.

• Li Changhe summoned Lü Dongbin’s avatar, which unleashed a sea of sword qi at the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace’s formation.
• Su Tianshuang countered with a demonic seal that defeated Lü Dongbin’s avatar and pinned him and his Immortal Sword to a distant mountain wall.

• Su Tianshuang brought out the Heavenly Demon Arena and used it to draw nearly every cultivator below the Nascent Soul Realm inside, trapping them for an hour.
• Su Tianshuang warned the Nascent Soul experts that their advantage in numbers meant nothing, and Li Changhe claimed the Divine Palace was bluffing because it had spared them.

Li Changhe challenged Su Tianshuang to prove he could draw in a Nascent Soul expert, and Su Tianshuang promptly sent him into the palace in the sky. The cultivators attacked the palaces with their supreme treasures, but their head-on strikes shattered the artifacts, leaving them horrified and grieving.

• The attacks shattered every magical treasure that struck the palaces head-on, and some cultivators were injured by the shock waves.

After the palace destroyed several immortal artifacts, Lin Fei’s earlier warning earned him respect, but Nanming Xuance blamed him for the loss and attacked him. As factions argued over compensation and the Heavenly Demon Palace offered a contest to spare a challenger’s lineage, the cultivators rejected the offer.

• Several cultivators mourned their destroyed immortal artifacts, and the gathered Nascent Soul cultivators looked at Lin Fei with shock and respect.

Su Tianshuang claimed that almost none of the Huaxia cultivators qualified for the assessment, then defeated Li Changhe with overwhelming ease. He challenged Wuming next, declaring him the only one worthy of his regard.

• Su Tianshuang said fewer than five cultivators present were worthy of the assessment, and dismissed Li Changhe as no match for him.

• Su Tianshuang taunted the Nascent Soul cultivators and asked who among them had reached late Nascent Soul before the age of two hundred.
• Su Tianshuang said his Heavenly Demon Divine Palace disciples had to meet that standard and revealed that Jiang Qingyue and his eldest senior brother reached late Nascent Soul at eighty-five.

Lin Fei and Su Tianshuang fought fiercely above the palace, and Lin Fei gained the advantage with his Wuming Sword Art. After Lin Fei cut Su Tianshuang’s cheek, the enraged demon prepared to unleash a powerful killing art.

• Su Tianshuang attacked Lin Fei with Mad Dragon Descends from Heaven and Heavenly Demon Great Annihilation Tribulation, but Lin Fei countered with Immortal-Slaying and Spring Thunder Flash.
