Ancestor Longyan broke through to the late Spirit Platform Realm, and Liu Xuanfu’s return brought the clan’s hidden history to the verge of being revealed.

Wang Shouzhe delayed the proposed expedition until he could prepare thoroughly, and by the third month he had gone shopping for ways to kill a fifth-tier Fierce Beast, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and a Storage Ring for Liu Ruolan.

• Ancestor Longyan explained that Ancestor Zhouxuan had founded the Ping'an Wang Clan near a Divine Martial Dynasty ruin, where he and Ancestor Xuanfu had once gained rewards.

• After two months of delays, Wang Shouzhe went shopping in the third month for a fifth-tier Fierce Beast-killing item, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and a Storage Ring for Liu Ruolan.

Wang Shouzhe traveled to Donghai Guard, where he won a Marrow Cleansing Pill at auction after outbidding two Celestial Aristocratic Clan rivals. Three months later, he and Liu Ruolan began a lavishly prepared journey to the Outer Domain, much to Ancestor Xuanfu’s dismay.

After several participants failed or struggled, Wang Luoqiu stepped forward and requested that the second stage open directly.

• Ancestor Xuanfu objected to the enlarged party, but Wang Shouzhe insisted the ruin's rewards should be shared with family and allies.
• Wang Shouzhe led the group safely through the Outer Domain to the concealed ruin, where the Artifact Spirit identified it as Divine Martial Army recruitment point No. 37.

• Wang Luojing refused Wang Shouzhe's offer to use the bloodline improvement fluid and began the trial.

• Wang Luojing passed the first trial stage with her Amethyst Spirit Bees and received a Heaven Spirit Pill and a Militia Token.
• Wang Luojing was wounded by two Demon Puppets, then used blood essence to unleash her Red Bull Fire Toad and burn both enemies to ashes.

• Wang Lici entered the trial with her armor, hammer, shield, and tiger Huahua, but the Artifact Spirit threw Huahua off the platform and started her trial against a Demon Puppet.

Wang Lici passed the first three trial stages through overwhelming strength and received a High-Grade Spirit Artifact hammer that she could barely lift. The fourth stage began with a towering Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet, leaving Wang Lici staring at it in dismay.

• Wang Lici defeated the first Demon Puppet barehanded, earned the Militiaman title, and ate roasted meat with Huahua.
• Wang Lici defeated two Demon Puppets, became an Elite Militiaman, and then beat three more to pass the third stage.
• The Artifact Spirit promoted Wang Lici to Battle Soldier and awarded her a High-Grade Spirit Artifact war hammer, which Liu Ruolan stored for her because it was too heavy to wield.
• Wang Lici began the fourth stage and faced a towering Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet, while Wang Shouzhe wondered how a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could defeat it.

• Wang Shouzhe coaxed Wang Lici into testing the Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet by promising her food, and she fought it despite being badly wounded.

• Liu Ruolei warned Liu Ruolan that Wang Shouzhe might marry another bride, triggering Liu Ruolan’s icy killing intent.
• Liu Ruolan unleashed formidable power through Autumn Water and drove the Demon Puppet back, while Wang Shouzhe feared her anger might turn on him.

Liu Ruolan defeated the Demon Puppet, then Wang Shouzhe tested the fierce personality that had taken over her and redirected her anger toward Liu Ruolei. After Liu Ruolan returned to herself, she learned she had won and began choosing her reward, leaving Wang Shouzhe reflecting on his wife’s two distinct personalities.

• Liu Ruolan hacked the Demon Puppet apart and earned elite soldier status, then summoned Wang Shouzhe.
• Wang Shouzhe tested Liu Ruolan’s hidden personality by tending to her and learned that it knew about her identity, family, and marriage.
• Wang Shouzhe blamed Liu Ruolei for spreading rumors, and Liu Ruolan dragged her aside and beat her while Wang Shouzhe called for her to go easy.
• Liu Ruolan returned to her usual self, forgot the battle, and believed Wang Shouzhe’s explanation that the Demon Puppet had fallen by accident.
• Liu Ruolan asked to see her rewards and considered a Spirit Wine Gourd, while Wang Shouzhe marveled at the contrast between her two personalities.

Liu Ruolan chose a Bloodthirsty Vine Spirit Seed as her trial reward, and Wang Shouzhe began his own trial by defeating Demon Puppets with rapidly growing vines. He trapped two more puppets in the next stage and paused to replenish himself, learning that Liu Ruolan could join him to eat but not fight.

• The Artifact Spirit presented Liu Ruolan with five rewards, and she chose the Bloodthirsty Vine Spirit Seed over the Primordial Water Spirit Bead despite Wang Shouzhe's advice.
• Liu Ruolan handed the seed and its planting jade slip to Wang Shouzhe, then returned to watch as he began his trial.
• Wang Shouzhe used fast-growing vines to bind and strangle a peak Qi Refining Realm Demon Puppet, clearing the stage without drawing his sword.
• In the next stage, Wang Shouzhe planted more vines while evading two Demon Puppets, then trapped them and asked whether he could replenish himself with food and pills.
• Wang Shouzhe ate hot pot and drank Cloud Mist Spirit Tea while the puppets remained bound, and the Artifact Spirit allowed Liu Ruolan to join him as long as she did not assist in battle.

Wang Shouzhe used his Vine Poison Formation to defeat the second, third, and fourth trials, earning an Elite Militia title, a defensive Spirit Artifact, and final victory. He claimed the Primordial Water Spirit Bead for Liu Ruolan, and the family celebrated his abundant rewards.

• Wang Shouzhe spent three days planting vines and poisonous grass, then strangled the two Demon Puppets to pass the second trial and earn Primary Bloodline Improvement Fluid.
• Wang Shouzhe's Vine Array trapped three Demon Puppets, letting him quickly pass the third trial and choose a half-energy, half-physical defensive shield, which he named the Heart-Guarding Spirit Shield.
• Wang Shouzhe rested until his Profound Qi recovered, then faced a Spirit Platform Realm Demon Puppet in the fourth trial.
• Wang Shouzhe evaded the Demon Puppet and replenished his Vine Array as the vines and poison gradually exhausted and killed it after three and a half hours.
• Wang Shouzhe claimed the Primordial Water Spirit Bead for Liu Ruolan, while Liu Ruolei watched the couple's affectionate celebration with resentment.

After the Trial Grounds expedition, Wang Shouzhe secluded himself to absorb a Heaven Spirit Pill and break through to the Spirit Platform Realm. He succeeded, tested his new strength and Spiritual Sense, and looked ahead to reaching the Celestial Realm.

Back in Ping'an Town, he strengthened the Wang Clan’s resources and learned that Ancestor Xuanfu and Ancestor Longyan wanted him to visit Purple Mansion Academy and Master Binglan after the New Year.

• Wang Shouzhe tested his newly awakened bloodline by growing an ordinary vine seed into a powerful, rapidly growing vine, then asked Liu Ruolan to help him bathe and ended up in a chaotic fight with her.
• More than ten days later, Wang Shouzhe left Wang Shounuo to guard the Trial Grounds for a year, harvested the surrounding area, cultivated the Bloodthirsty Vine, and returned to Ping'an Town with the Autumn-Winter Hunt team.
• Ancestor Xuanfu and Liu Ruolei stayed with the Wang Clan, while Wang Shouzhe researched his bloodline, the Heart-Guarding Spirit Shield, and the Zhouxuan Sword.
• Zhong Xingwang delivered Ancestor Longyan’s Turtle Scale Treasure Shield and three High-Grade Breath-Concealing Pendants, and Wang Shouzhe paid him for the items and his efforts.
• Ancestor Xuanfu told Wang Shouzhe that he and Liu Ruolan should accompany her to the Academy after the New Year to obtain his next cultivation technique and visit Master Binglan.

Wang Shouzhe discussed the Purple Mansion Academy with Ancestor Xuanfu and Ancestor Longyan, then asked Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luojing, and Wang Lici whether they wanted to attend. The conversation also uncovered new details about the Wang Clan’s old disaster and the Longzuo Wang Clan’s aid, leaving Wang Shouzhe suspicious about why the hidden masterminds had spared the clan.

• Wang Shouzhe reasoned that Master Binglan still regretted losing Ancestor Longyan but that Longyan would need to demonstrate greater potential to regain her attention.
• Ancestor Xuanfu urged Wang Shouzhe to become a personal disciple and said the Wang Clan should send someone to the Academy, so Wang Shouzhe summoned Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luojing, and Wang Lici to ask what they wanted.
• Wang Shouzhe returned the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield to Ancestor Longyan, who recalled the hardship that had forced her to sell it.
• Wang Lici agreed to attend the Academy after Wang Shouzhe promised it had plenty of delicious food, while Wang Luojing worried the Academy would prevent her from returning if the clan faced danger.
• Ancestor Xuanfu explained that the Academy discouraged disciples from joining clan conflicts but allowed them to support their clans and seek mediation from teachers.
• Ancestor Longyan revealed that Ancestor Zhoubo had helped protect the Wang Clan after its disaster, and Wang Shouzhe questioned why the suspected masterminds had not wiped the clan out.

Wang Shouzhe arranged for Ancestor Longyan to face her past at the Purple Mansion Academy and let Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing decide whether to attend. While living with Liu Ruolan beside the Fire Spirit Vein, he used his strengthened bloodline talent to develop improved Red Crystal Spirit Rice seeds, adding a lucrative new foundation to the Wang Clan.

• Ancestor Longyan agreed to visit Master Binglan at the Academy with Wang Shouzhe next spring, while Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing chose to inspect the Academy before deciding whether to attend.

• Liu Ruolan congratulated Wang Shouzhe on creating a new source of wealth, and he hinted that her Yuanshui Bloodline talent had greater potential than she realized.
