Her Metal-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots caught the sect master’s attention, who ordered Ye Lingtian to take her to Sword-Seeking Peak as a maid while her origins were investigated.

• A candidate’s Metal-Wood-Water Triple Spiritual Root disproved Yu Xiaogang’s claim that more colors meant greater aptitude, but he insisted the system worked differently.

• Qian Daoliu praised Tang San's composure, while Bibi Dong doubted it would help him survive in the demonic cultivators' den.
• Ye Lingtian took Qian Renxue toward Sword-Seeking Peak instead of the cultivation technique pavilion and learned her name.

• Observers including Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Yu Xiaogang denounced the demand, while Qian Daoliu raged and Emperor Xue Ye celebrated.

Meanwhile, Tang San traveled with Soul-Devouring Zhenren's group, coveted their techniques, and prepared to murder a Qi Refining cultivator to steal them.

• Ye Lingtian described how cultivation could extend life from a hundred years at Body Tempering to immortality after successful ascension, and Qian Renxue resolved to cultivate diligently.
• People across Douluo Continent reacted to the possibility of eternal life, while Qian Daoliu hoped Qian Renxue would form a Golden Core and Bibi Dong questioned her service to the Rakshasa God.
• Over three days, Tang San learned that Soul-Devouring Zhenren slaughtered a city every five years to collect souls, and he accepted the killings as a means of gaining strength.
• Tang San coveted the demonic cultivators' techniques and planned to use his poison-coated Yama's Invitation against the late Qi Refining cultivator who had spoken up for him.

• Ye Lingtian activated Sword-Seeking Peak's mountain-guarding formation and told Qian Renxue to remain there before flying away on the Clear Profound Sword.
• Qian Renxue watched Ye Lingtian's sword flight and resolved to keep pursuing cultivation, while people on Douluo Continent reacted with amazement.
• After a week of traveling at full speed, Ye Lingtian reached the destination, where a dozen outer sect disciples greeted him.

Ye Lingtian and Su Mingyue led the assault on Soul-Devouring Zhenren before he could complete the Blood Soul Banner and break through to the Nascent Soul realm. They sealed Desolate City and attacked his residence, where Soul-Devouring Zhenren finally noticed the intruders and sent the banner’s item spirit to attack.

• Primordial Sect disciples recaptured Tang San after finding a demonic cultivation technique among his belongings, and Su Mingyue examined him as a prisoner.
• Tang San claimed he had found the technique without knowing it was demonic, while a disciple judged it to be a trashy mortal martial art.

• Soul Masters watching the heavenly screen questioned how Tang San could possess a cultivation technique when their world had none, and Ning Fengzhi also reconsidered the origin of Tang San's hidden weapons.
• Tang Hao wondered whether Tang San was someone from another world, while Yu Xiaogang continued defending him despite the skeptical looks around him.

Baihuaxiang appeared before Su Mingyue and demanded that she hand over Tang San, whom she identified as a human-demon half-blood. As observers learned of Tang San’s Soul Beast heritage and his parents’ past, Su Mingyue refused to surrender him because he was a wanted criminal.
