Wang Qingyun and Wei Dongyu vowed revenge against Wang Anye, but the Chaoyang King confronted them and badly injured Wei Dongyu for nearly getting Yun Taian killed. At the Northern Domain Prince’s Estate, Wang Fugui received news of Wang Anye’s victory and the Wei Clan’s threat, then began gathering intelligence to deal with them.

• Luo Yuqing reported Wang Anye’s victory and warned that the Wei Clan might target Wang Fugui, who asked her to compile intelligence on the Wei Clan.

Wang Fugui spent ten days gathering intelligence and devising a plan against the Wei Clan before traveling with Yun Mengyu and Jiang Yuling to the Immortal Palace for advice on nurturing a Seven-Colored Treasure-Gathering Tree. At the Ascension Gate, he unexpectedly encountered Wang Lici and Wang Yingxuan publicly challenging Immortal Palace disciples, leaving Yun Mengyu embarrassed after she mocked them.

• Wang Fugui rejected Yun Mengyu's offer to have her ancestor mediate with the Wei Clan, then accepted her Princess Token to obtain the Wei Clan's tax records and other intelligence.

• At the Ascension Gate, Wang Fugui spotted Wang Lici, Wang Yingxuan, and Lan Wan'er advertising a challenge to Immortal Palace disciples and Sacred Land Heavenly Prodigies.
• Wang Lici recognized Wang Fugui and tried to hand him her challenge banner, while Yun Mengyu realized the women were his family after having mocked them.

Wang Fugui and his companions visited the Immortal Palace’s Enlightenment Tea Garden, where he advanced into the Spirit Platform Realm and awakened a Minor Divine Ability. After showing True Lord Wudao the Seven-Colored Treasure-Gathering Tree and asking how to save a damaged Luck Tree, Wang Fugui provoked Wudao into declaring war on the Jing'an Wei Clan.

• Wang Lici, Wang Yingxuan, Lan Wan'er, and True Lord Yuling gave Yun Mengyu expensive gifts before Wang Fugui and his companions entered the Immortal Palace.

• Furious at the Luck Tree’s abuse, True Lord Wudao uprooted a massive tree root and vowed that he was irreconcilable with the Jing'an Wei Clan.

Wang Fugui secured the Immortal Venerable’s approval to demand compensation from the Wei Clan for harming Luck Tree, while pressure mounted on the clan across the Immortal Dynasty. The Wei Clan planned to raise black iron prices to fund the payment, and Wang Fugui arrived at the Profound Armor Division to meet Zhao Xiqing.

• Wang Fugui proposed that the Wei Clan pay one hundred million Immortal Crystals to compensate Luck Tree, and the Immortal Venerable permitted True Lord Wudao to pursue the matter without breaking the law.

• Wang Fugui arrived at the Profound Armor Division with Luo Yuqing and Jiang Qinglian, where Zhao Xiqing recognized him as a child of her Zhao Clan relatives.

Wang Fugui demonstrated the Wang Clan’s modular Profound Armor to the Southern Suppression Prince and Zhao Xiqing, then used the Wei Clan’s black iron price manipulation to secure a massive armor contract and support for a scheme against them. The Southern Suppression Prince agreed to the deal and to let Immortal Dynasty artifact refiners choose whether to remain in Great Qian after the work was done.

• Wang Fugui explained that he had brought the princess’s token to promote the Wang Clan’s new battle armor, and the Southern Suppression Prince and Zhao Xiqing assembled ten Spirit Platform Realm guards to test it.
• Luo Yuqing presented the ninth-generation modular Profound Armor, and the testers confirmed its lighter weight, modular construction, and improved mobility despite its lower overall defense.

• The Southern Suppression Prince agreed to order 300,000 armor sets at 1,500 Immortal Crystals each, with Wang Fugui producing 100,000 and the Immortal Dynasty supplying materials and at least 2,000 artifact refiners.
• The Southern Suppression Prince agreed that artifact refiners could stay in Great Qian after the contract ended, and Wang Fugui insisted that the promise be written into the contract.

Jiang Xingyuan warned Han Langtai that East Qian Kingdom was a bottomless pit before Fourth Princess Yun Mengyu and True Lord Yuling arrived at the Helan Han Clan. Yun Mengyu persuaded Han Qixuan to lend her black iron ingots for three years in exchange for repayment with a thirty-percent surplus, leaving the clan bound by a secret contract.

• Jiang Xingyuan praised the Han Clan’s Purple Iron Sunflower Tea, and Han Langtai admitted he had diverted tea meant for Jing'an Princess.

• Yun Mengyu asked Han Qixuan to lend enough black iron ingots for one hundred thousand sets of armor, promising to repay enough for one hundred and thirty thousand sets in three years.
• Han Qixuan agreed after True Lord Yuling guaranteed repayment, requiring secrecy and a written contract, while Yun Mengyu privately celebrated her borrowing-shares-to-short-sell plan.

The Helan Han Clan’s Han Qixuan revealed his plan to use the Profound Iron profits and an ownerless Void Ascension Scripture to raise Han Langtai’s aptitude and the clan’s standing. At the Chaoyang King’s Estate, the aging Chaoyang King chose to prepare for her succession and invited Wang Anye, who offered to treat her when her old injuries flared.

• Yun Mengyu and True Lord Yuling departed with the borrowed Profound Iron, while Yun Mengyu trusted Fugui to help her repay it.
• Han Qixuan told Han Langtai that he possessed a clue to an ownerless Void Ascension Scripture and planned to use a ninth-rank Heaven-Defying Dao Pill to improve Han Langtai’s aptitude.
• The Chaoyang King agreed to consider Jing'an Princess as her successor, while Yao Yuangang resolved to pass his Canon to Yao Chengchao and invite Wang Anye to the estate.
• The Chaoyang King received Wang Anye and offered him her maidservants, but he declined because he already had a wife and children.
• The Chaoyang King’s old injuries and toxins flared after she said she had fought Wei Dongyu, and Wang Anye challenged Physician Jinghong’s treatment and offered to treat her himself.

Wang Anye treated the Chaoyang King's injuries and persuaded her to recuperate with the Changning Wang Clan in East Qian. Meanwhile, Imperial Prince An arranged for Wu Shengjun to pursue Northern Zhou’s Commandery Princess Luojia, before Wang Shouzhe received news that Emperor Longchang had been injured.

• Wang Anye used his wood-element Profound Qi to treat the Chaoyang King, then shattered a life-saving leaf to repel her demonic poison and restore her vitality.
• The Chaoyang King agreed to visit the Changning Wang Clan for further treatment and wrote to warn Wei Dongyu against plotting against Wang Anye.
• In Guilong City, Imperial Prince An and Wang Shizhao learned that Northern Zhou was selecting a husband for Commandery Princess Luojia and decided to send Wu Shengjun with an envoy to compete for her hand.
• Imperial Prince An asked Wang Shizhao to recruit talented young people from Great Qian, including members of the Wang Clan, to accompany Wu Shengjun.
• A family retainer told Wang Shouzhe that Emperor Longchang had been injured in a conflict while drawing a top-grade spirit vein.

Wang Shouzhe learned that Emperor Longchang had been injured in a clash with the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom and ordered Spirit Vein extraction halted to avoid further conflict. At Immortal Palace, Wang Lici and Wang Yingxuan’s arena challenge drew Zhang Huaibing into battle, while Wang Fugui’s Profound Iron scheme advanced in the Immortal Dynasty and revealed his growing influence.

• Wang Shouzhe let Emperor Longchang recuperate at Immortal Abiding Residence after learning the emperor had fought the Azure Phoenix Demon Emperor, then ordered Spirit Vein extraction to stop for now.
• Wang Lici and Wang Yingxuan continued attracting challengers at Immortal Palace, where Zhang Huaibing arrived and challenged Wang Lici after presenting rare octopus meat.

• Wang Fugui refused the Southern Pacification King’s request for a larger share unless each department supplied three hundred artifact refiners, then warned him to cooperate with the plan without drawing attention.

The Wei Clan tried to profit from the collapse and rebound of mystic iron prices, believing it had cornered the Immortal Armaments Department. Wang Fugui’s coordinated scheme kept driving the market higher, and the chapter left the Wei Clan preparing to buy even more stock while Han Langtai confronted Wang Fugui over the Han Clan’s involvement.

• Luo Yuming and other clan members learned that major clans were secretly selling mystic iron, prompting panic selling across Cold Moon Immortal City.

• Han Langtai accused Wang Fugui and the Fourth Little Princess of manipulating the Han Clan, while Wang Fugui defended the scheme and thanked the Han Clan for cooperating.

The Southern Pacification King and Zhao Xiqing used Wang Fugui’s new battle armor to crash the Profound Iron market and ruin the Wei Clan’s attempt to monopolize its supply. The Wei Clan faced a catastrophic loss, and when True Lord Wudao and the Wei Clan’s creditors arrived to demand payment, Wei Dongyu realized the crisis had been engineered against them.

• The Southern Pacification King and Zhao Xiqing visited the Wei Clan and revealed that the Wang Clan Ninth-Generation Modular Battle Armor used far less Profound Iron than the old armor while performing better, leaving Wei Mingyu’s planned sale of four hundred thousand sets unwanted.
• The new armor’s tests and news that the Wei Clan held more than six hundred thousand Profound Iron ingots prompted aristocratic families to sell, sending prices plunging and trapping the Wei Clan with a huge, debt-funded inventory.
• Wei Dongyu, Wei Mingyu, Wei Deming, and Wei Qingyun discussed holding the ingots and delaying repayments, but True Lord Wudao arrived to demand fifty million Immortal Crystals for the Luck Tree.
• The Southern Pacification King urged True Lord Wudao to pressure the Wei Clan, and True Lord Wudao rooted himself in its Spirit Fields and drained the Spirit Vein until Wei Dongyu promised payment within ten days.
• Several creditors arrived together to demand repayment, and Wei Dongyu spat blood as he realized the Wei Clan’s financial crisis had been deliberately exploited.

Wei Deming negotiated with the Wei Clan’s creditors, agreeing to sell Profound Iron and clan treasures to reduce their debts. Wang Fugui’s campaign profits then funded a sweeping auction bid for the Wei Clan’s Divine Ability treasures and inheritance grounds, and the chapter ended with him opening the bidding on the Primordial Yellow Treasure Hall at fifty million Immortal Crystals.

• True Lord Abundant Wealth, True Lord Three Treasures, and Ancestor Yongwen demanded repayment from Wei Deming, who agreed to offset part of the Wei Clan’s debt with Profound Iron and sell Divine Ability Spirit Treasures and inheritance grounds.

• Wang Fugui opened bidding on the Primordial Yellow Treasure Hall by offering fifty million Immortal Crystals.

After Jing'an Princess Yun Shaoguang emerged from seclusion and learned that Chaoyang King had gone to visit Wang Anye, she suspected a hidden plot against her and resolved to investigate.

• Wang Fugui bought the Primordial Yellow True Method, Profound Origin True Method, and Scarlet Fire Celestial Pool inheritance sites, spending a total of two hundred and five million Immortal Crystals at the auction.

Their assumptions about East Qian were overturned by the Wang Clan’s talented workers and generous pay, and the chapter ended with Pei Xin'an stunned by an offer of up to sixty thousand Immortal Crystals a year.

• Wang Xiaohan welcomed Pei Xin'an, Xiang Huaijin, and the other artifact refiners at Xinping Town Air Harbor and took them toward Qinglian Fire Valley despite Pei Xin'an’s impatience.

• Wang Yinglei presented Pei Xin'an with a contract offering forty thousand Immortal Crystals annually, rising to roughly fifty-five to sixty thousand with benefits, leaving him overwhelmed with excitement.

Wang Yinglei recruited Old Pei and more than three thousand Immortal Dynasty artifact refiners with generous contracts, while Chaoyang King and Yao Yuangang toured Xinping Town before Wang Shouzhe welcomed them to the Wang Clan. Chaoyang King and her husband settled into the Immortal Abiding Residence, and she threw Emperor Longchang out when he complained about losing his room.

• When Emperor Longchang objected to giving up the Immortal Abiding Residence, Chaoyang King threw him out, and he cursed Wang Shouzhe as he flew away.

Chaoyang King and Yao Yuangang brought the injured Luck Tree to the Wang Clan, where Wang Shouzhe assessed her condition and began examining Chaoyang King’s lingering poison. After Lixian advanced to Tier Nine, she took human form and joyfully reunited with her father.

The Azure Phoenix Demon Emperor and Cui'er infiltrated Great Qian to abduct Wang Shouzhe, but the Wang Clan’s surveillance network tracked them and led them into an ambush. They were surrounded by four Void Ascension Realm powerhouses, and Emperor Longchang identified the Azure Phoenix Demon Emperor as the one who had injured him.

• Emperor Longchang admitted that he had suggested marrying the Azure Phoenix Demon Emperor to Wang Shouzhe, prompting the Chaoyang King to consider the idea as well.

Wang Shouye and Master Danding reached a hidden relic in Northern Zhou, where they entered an abandoned herb garden and waited for the artifact spirit of the Profound Elixir Manual. As they prepared for Wang Shouye to seek the inheritance, Commandery Princess Luojia arrived, intent on claiming the manual for herself.

• Wang Shouye's group traveled with Li Dinghai through the Reef Ghost Sea, guided safely by Jiang Qingxue, and waited for the great tide to reveal the relic entrance.
