Qian Renxue reached the Primordial Sect’s aptitude test after Yu Xiaogang repeatedly misjudged how Spiritual Roots worked. 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.
• Candidates with Four-Color and Five-Color Mixed Spiritual Roots were offered menial positions, while a youth with Fire-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots earned outer sect admission and Yao Qingtang’s interest.

• Qian Renxue faced disparaging remarks about being a barbarian before testing as a candidate.

• Tang San hid his anger, resolved to repay Soul-Devouring Zhenren’s humiliation, and decided he already had a way to kill him.

After the Ascension Assembly, Ye Lingtian took Qian Renxue to Sword-Seeking Peak and recognized her as someone from another world. As they walked, he explained that her Metal-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots were excellent, leaving the reason she had to serve as his maid unexplained.

• Recognizing Qian Renxue as a transmigrator from Douluo Continent, Ye Lingtian decided there was no point in revealing that he shared her origins.
• Qian Renxue accepted her maid assignment because she had nowhere else to turn, then asked why her Metal-Fire Dual Spiritual Roots were considered poor talent.
• Ye Lingtian told Qian Renxue that her dual spiritual roots were excellent and could qualify her to become a true disciple elsewhere.

Ye Lingtian explained that Qian Renxue had been made a maid on Sword-Seeking Peak to give the sect time to assess her, and offered her a place to stay and cultivation resources. When he told her she would have to discard her existing cultivation before learning his basic art, Qian Renxue was shocked, while observers across Douluo Continent condemned the demand or celebrated it.

• Ye Lingtian told Qian Renxue that her unknown origins made the sect wary, so it had assigned her to Sword-Seeking Peak, where he could watch over her.
• He promised to provide cultivation arts and treasures if she behaved, and Qian Renxue thanked him for sheltering her.

• Qian Renxue froze at the instruction, alarmed that she would have to give up the Soul Saint cultivation she had built over decades.
• Observers including Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Yu Xiaogang denounced the demand, while Qian Daoliu raged and Emperor Xue Ye celebrated.

Ye Lingtian warned Qian Renxue that her Soul Power cultivation conflicted with his cultivation art, then helped her discard it and begin anew. When she opened the art, she could not understand its references to acupoints and a dantian, leaving the people watching the sky screen equally confused.

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.
• After nightfall, the group camped at a Yin Qi-filled mass grave, where most meditated and the two watchmen dozed.

Tang San murdered the demonic cultivator who had helped him, stole the man's cultivation art, and fled into the forest. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue struggled to sense Qi on Sword-Seeking Peak and went to Ye Lingtian for guidance.

• Tang San evaded a guard and crept toward the sleeping Late Qi Refining Stage demonic cultivator who had helped him.
• Tang San killed the cultivator with a poisoned Yama's Invitation, searched the body, and found the Soul Refining Art and three low-grade spirit stones.
• Tang San buried the body, erased his tracks, and fled before the camp discovered the murder.
• The heavenly screen showed Tang San's crime, prompting Yu Xiaogang to defend him while Qian Daoliu condemned him and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin grew wary.

• Qian Renxue told Ye Lingtian she could not sense Qi, and he advised her to keep practicing rather than expect quick progress.
• Yu Xiaogang boasted that he could help Qian Renxue sense Qi in half an hour, but Shrek students mocked his lack of understanding.
• Ye Lingtian learned that Soul-Devouring Zhenren and his demonic cultivators had massacred and seized a border city, then accepted the mission to deal with them.
• 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.

• Ye Lingtian urged Su Mingyue to stop the absorption and attacked Soul-Devouring Zhenren, who hid himself in a thick blood mist.
