• Ling Yi opened the Ip Man World livestream and watched Zhou Qingquan ask Ip Man to train a group of masters for the country.
• Ip Man refused to join Zhou Qingquan’s plans because Wing-sing was pregnant and he wanted to protect his family, but he offered fifty large gold bars to help.

Ling Yi gained major Plot Points, exhausted the Water Margin World’s plot potential, and mutated Blood Curse into Blood Domain just before the beast tide began. As the defenses prepared for battle, he flew off to confront the tide while Xia Qinghan reported trouble in Bai Hai City involving the Lü Family and the Church of Eternal Life.

• Ling Yi sent the sect master a suggestion to leave the Mystic Heaven Sect and establish a new sect, leaving the bound menial disciple behind.

• 026 warned Ling Yi not to drive Mutant Beasts to extinction and threatened to erase him and take back his system if he refused.
• Despite Qin Xiaoxiao's warning, Ling Yi cast red mist on 026 and converted her into an undead.
• Ling Yi questioned 026 and learned she was one of nine Heavenly Dao projection clones, that the Heavenly Dao was asleep, and that it was carrying out an escape plan.
• Ling Yi ordered 026 to restore his and Qin Xiaoxiao's data panels, then reasoned that mutation was his true golden finger and that the Plot System might be helping the Heavenly Dao.
• Ling Yi took Qin Xiaoxiao to the southern wall near the Yi River and spread red mist across Mutant Beast areas within the Ancient Country.
• Ling Yi returned to Great Wind City, intending to cover every area inside the Ancient Country's walls so the Blood Domain would eventually dissipate and Mutant Beasts would become extinct.

• Ling Yi spread red fog across most of Blue Star while waiting for the Heavenly Dao to reveal itself, and he declined an official position despite receiving the honorary title Nation-Protecting God of War.

• The sect master’s people took Ling Yi to a palace, controlled his body through a wedding ceremony, and confined him in the bridal chamber.
• Ji Luo Xue entered and told Ling Yi he would be free after three months, when she expected to die.
• Ji Luo Xue explained that her Chaos Spirit Body absorbed Spiritual Qi uncontrollably, and that breaking through to Golden Core would kill her.
• Ji Luo Xue said her father had arranged the marriage as a good-luck remedy because Ling Yi shared her birth date.
• Ling Yi noticed his shadow trembling, then watched it rise into a three-dimensional human figure.

Ling Yi learned that his awakened shadow, Shadow, could copy abilities, read memories, and devour Spiritual Power, giving him a way to survive at the Mystic Moon Sect. After Shadow revealed Ji Luo Xue’s extraordinary physiques and the limits on copying them, Ling Yi chose to copy her Innate Dao Body first.

• Shadow sent Ling Yi memories explaining that she could copy a target’s attributes through their shadows, read memories by touch, and devour Spiritual Power to grow stronger.
• Ling Yi decided not to flee the Mystic Moon Sect, hoping Shadow could consume Ji Luo Xue’s excess Spiritual Power and help him gain power before he was killed.
• Shadow began devouring Ji Luo Xue’s Spiritual Power, and Ji Luo Xue noticed that something about her body had changed.
• Shadow explained that Ji Luo Xue possessed several exceptional physiques, but copying her Chaos Spirit Body would kill Ling Yi because his Spiritual Root was too weak.
