Wang Luojing’s succession ceremony began as Saintess Dai transferred the Holy Gu Tribe’s inheritance, but Elder Ga incited opposition before Jing could bond with the Heavenly Silkworm. As Jing defended her succession and the elders took sides, Prince Dexin’s allies prepared to seize Gu God Stronghold and make one decisive move.

Wang Lixian drained the artifact's immortal spirit qi to free the group, leaving Prince Dexin face-to-face with the furious Emperor.

Wang Shouzhe oversaw the Holy Gu Tribe’s defeat of South Qin’s attackers, Wang Luojing’s succession as Saintess, and the tribe’s submission to Great Qian. Two years later, he prepared to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm on an island near Ice Sha Island.

In Guilong City, Wang Anye’s wedding procession arrived aboard a Cloud Ray Flying Ship, but the two brides’ families argued over which princess he should fetch first, leaving Seventh Sister Military Banner to propose bringing them both back together.

• A veiled Divine Ability Realm cultivator struck Long Wuji for flirting with her, then revealed that she was disciplining her son after recognizing him as Wu Yingji.
• Zhao Xiqing identified herself as Prince Yong’an’s wife and beat him until Liu Ruolan intervened; she said she would present Lici’s wedding gift at the ceremony.

• At the imperial palace, Wu Shengjun and Wu Xuening’s elder brother each urged Wang Anye to fetch their respective sister first, turning the wedding procession into a standoff.
• Wang Anye’s family debated which bride to fetch first until Seventh Sister Military Banner insisted he bring Wu Yiluo and Wu Xuening back together without establishing precedence.

Wang Anye’s wedding to Wu Yiluo and Wu Xuening proceeded after the Legion Banner and Infinite Treasure Ring persuaded both brides to cooperate. The procession reached the Wang Clan, whose fifth-rank status impressed the imperial guests, and the wedding ended with a lavish celebration and an outrageous gift from Wang Lici.

• The next morning, Xuening and Yiluo both woke beside Anye, could not determine who had come first, and accepted his offer to make breakfast.

At sixteen, Wang Ningxi struggled with sealed, conflicting bloodlines and decided to break off his engagement, believing his frail body would burden his betrothed. After touring the clan’s towns, he returned to Wang Shouzhe, who heard about Ningxi’s farm-tool designs before turning the conversation to the engagement.
