As the crowd spread out under the ladder’s pressure, he reached around six hundredth place and spotted a girl far ahead whose spirit root appeared to be heaven rank supreme grade.

• An elder used a mirror to select everyone with spirit roots, transporting them inside while the rest were eliminated and sent back to Green Fortune City.
• The voice in the spirit mirror explained that the contestants would climb the heavenly stairway, with only the top fifteen hundred earning places in the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Ji Wuchang reflected on the Longevity Sect and decided to aim for ninety-ninth place so he could become an inner disciple without attracting too much attention.

• Wen Xiuxue gave Ji Wuchang, Lu Chenjian, and the other new disciples Grain Avoidance Pills and said she would show them around and teach them a cultivation method the next day.

• Ji Wuchang asked Elder Xie about the Tenth Peak and Shen, but Elder Xie gave him little information and persuaded him to help in the herb garden.

• Wen Xiuxue brought the group to an unidentified building, where the gathered disciples looked at them with cold sneers and mocking smiles.

Wen Xiuxue brought Ji Wuchang and the other three new disciples to register at the building, where she revealed a brutal side by beating two Supreme Realm First Level men who mocked the Tenth Peak. The group entered and met two Supreme Realm Fifth Level elders, who welcomed the Tenth Peak’s new recruits and began engraving their tokens.

• Two Supreme Realm First Level men mocked Wen Xiuxue and the Tenth Peak, prompting laughter and resentment from the crowd.

• Wen Xiuxue led Ji Wuchang and the other three through the cleared path into the building.
• Two Supreme Realm Fifth Level elders greeted Wen Xiuxue, welcomed the new recruits, and began engraving their names on four tokens.

• Wen Xiuxue led the four newcomers around the Mission Hall, Library Pavilion, and Cultivation Tower, explaining how they could use the facilities and earn points.
• News spread among the new disciples that Wen Xiuxue had knocked down two Supreme Realm experts, while Jiang Duanyue regretted choosing the crowded Fourth Peak.
• Ji Wuchang caught two White Feather Chickens and prepared soup, roast chicken, chicken blood, and giblets with Lu Chenjian's help.
• Elder Xie, Wen Xiuxue, Lin Jingyue, and Chen Xirou followed the cooking's fragrance to the courtyard and joined the meal.
• After the others praised Ji Wuchang's cooking and Wen Xiuxue's group departed, Elder Xie took Ji Wuchang to the herb fields.

As Illusory Sea City recovered from its devastating war with the sea demons, Ji Wuchang remained hidden at Green Mountain Sect’s Tenth Peak, weighing whether to stay in pursuit of the Green Spirit Instruction. Wen Xiuxue then asked him to go to Green Fortune City to check on her shipment.

• Ji Jiang and two other Supreme Realm Ninth Level experts battled the Nine Nether Lineage in the north, while Illusory Sea City’s forces destroyed more than a dozen sea-demon islands and killed millions of demons.

• After traveling away from the sect, Ji Wuchang used his movement techniques to cover a great distance and found a cave guarded by an eighth-rank black bear.
• Ji Wuchang defeated the black bear with a barrage of punches, then entered its cave and brought its two cubs outside.
• Ji Wuchang sat at the cave entrance and produced countless Spirit Stones as Elder Xie and Wen Xiuxue watched from the clouds.

Ji Wuchang broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Seventh Level and traveled to Green Fortune City to deliver Wen Xiuxue’s message to the White Jade Trading Company. He left carrying a box of six powerful small swords after the shopkeeper revealed them before the gathered crowd.

• Ji Wuchang broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Seventh Level, left Spirit Stones in the black bear’s cave, and departed for Celebration Cloud City.
• Wen Xiuxue marveled at Ji Wuchang’s strength, while Xie Hanfeng considered how to keep him in Green Mountain Sect and investigate his background.

• The shopkeeper opened a box containing six supreme-grade spirit weapons and announced that the swords belonged to Green Mountain Sect’s eldest senior sister.
• Ji Wuchang accepted the box and left the trading company.

Ji Wuchang flaunted his wealth and used his apparent weakness to draw greedy pursuers while keeping them from attacking in Green Fortune City. Feng Yanzhong offered to escort him away, planning to use a Teleportation Talisman to steal his belongings.

• Ji Wuchang left the White Jade Trading Company as people began following him, then greeted Green Mountain Sect cultivators to deter attacks inside the city.

• Ji Wuchang pretended to be a gullible Tenth Peak disciple carrying valuable spirit weapons and spirit stones, and Feng Yanzhong eagerly led him away from the city.
• Feng Yanzhong used a talisman to take Ji Wuchang two thousand li away, then tried to kill him and seize his possessions.
• Ji Wuchang revealed his Celestial Phenomenon Realm Seventh Level cultivation, crushed Feng Yanzhong’s neck, destroyed his body, and took his storage ring.
• Six Supreme Realm cultivators arrived, mocked Ji Wuchang, and demanded his storage ring; Ji Wuchang killed one with Blood Wave and attacked the others with Divine Soul Spikes and an iron chain.
• Ji Wuchang summoned a Three-Legged Golden Crow to consume the body split by Blood Wave as he continued fighting the remaining cultivators.

• Elder Xie identified himself as Xie Hanfeng, the Green Mountain Sect’s ancestor, and asked why Ji Wuchang had infiltrated the sect.
• Ji Wuchang said he had come for the Green Spirit Instruction, and Xie Hanfeng unleashed his presence and threatened him.

Ji Wuchang revealed his identity to Xie Hanfeng and learned that the Green Spirit Instruction needed a special, undisclosed item to help open a spiritual sea. Xie Hanfeng offered him the instruction and help in exchange for three conditions; Ji Wuchang accepted the first and heard the second, leaving the third unstated.

• Ji Wuchang resisted Xie Hanfeng’s pressure and told him to state his conditions.
• At Xie Hanfeng’s request, Ji Wuchang removed his human-skin mask, revealed his identity, and showed a token that proved his connection to the Ji Family.
