As the twelve kingdoms divided into six rival alliances, Chen Shuangbai left Jade Screen Peak to join the Vast Waves Alliance’s leaders after True Person Bo emerged from seclusion as True Lord Jihai. With the Holy Origin Alliance threatening them, True Lord Qingchen planned a meeting to coordinate the three allied sects and choose an alliance leader.

• The sects of the twelve kingdoms formed six major camps, while several powerful sects remained independent or sealed their mountains.
• Gao Yi told Chen Shuangbai that the sect had summoned him, and Chen Shuangbai left Jade Screen Peak ready to face the Holy Origin Alliance.

• True Lord Qingchen announced that he had invited the Flower Washing Sword Sect and Turbid Wave Pavilion to a meeting about countering the Holy Origin Alliance and coordinating their forces.
• True Lord Qingchen intended True Lord Jihai to become alliance leader, but Chen Shuangbai wondered whether the other sects would accept a Jade Spring Sect candidate when they had powerful Nascent Soul cultivators of their own.

Li Muxian and Su Rong weighed whether the Yuliu Su Clan should seek the Jade Spring Sect’s protection, then hosted the Vast Waves Alliance’s joint conference in Jade Brocade City. The three sects’ Nascent Soul True Lords began gathering, with Old Man Fish Pillow arriving at the end.

• Su Rong explained to Li Muxian that many Su clansmen would resist pledging the clan to a sect based in the Jing Kingdom, and Li Muxian decided to wait for the Dao Child and True Lord’s counsel.
• Li Muxian and Su Rong welcomed Chen Shuangbai, True Lord Jihai, and Li Changfeng to Jade Brocade City.
• Li Muxian told Chen Shuangbai that True Lord Qingyu had arrived and that the Flower Washing Sword Sect and local cultivation groups were expected at the conference.
• Chen Shuangbai and the others entered the council hall, where Su Rong had arranged formations that let attendees summon their own jade seats.
• True Lord Qingyu, Mu Linyu, greeted True Lord Jihai, and the two recalled their earlier years as Golden Core cultivators.
• Old Man Fish Pillow arrived in the hall, and True Lord Jihai and True Lord Qingyu saluted him as Martial Uncle.

Old Man Fish Pillow, True Lord Qingyu, and True Lord Jihai debated who should lead the Vast Waves Alliance against the Holy Origin Alliance. True Lord Jihai proposed settling the contest with one move, then unleashed his vast water-element Divine Ability as the three True Lords clashed inside the hall.

• Old Man Fish Pillow warned that the Holy Origin Alliance threatened the Vast Waves Alliance and argued that their alliance needed a leader with strength, benevolence, and wisdom.
• True Lord Qingyu and True Lord Jihai both declared their desire to lead the alliance.
• True Lord Jihai proposed that one exchange decide the leader, and True Lord Qingyu questioned whether he could challenge Old Man Fish Pillow, who was at the Nascent Soul middle stage.
• True Lord Jihai filled the hall with an abyssal sea and azure divine lightning, inviting True Lord Qingyu and Old Man Fish Pillow to decide the contest with one move.
• Chen Shuangbai watched as the three True Lords' Divine Ability manifestations clashed within the hall.

True Lord Jihai became leader of the Vast Waves Alliance and organized its preparations for war against the Holy Origin Alliance. The alliance began planning campaigns, intelligence sharing, defenses, and a vast formation, while Old Man Fish Pillow was named deputy leader.

• True Lord Jihai defeated True Lord Qingyu and secured the alliance leadership, establishing the Vast Waves Alliance’s hierarchy.
• True Lord Jihai proposed subduing the Painstaking Heart Sect and the Setting Sun Sect, sharing intelligence among the three sects, and strengthening their border defenses.
• Old Man Fish Pillow agreed to recruit smaller sects and seek intelligence cooperation with the Heavenly Star Alliance and the Sword Alliance.

• Old Man Fish Pillow became deputy alliance leader and was assigned to oversee the alliance when True Lord Jihai was away.

True Lord Qingyu brought Chen Shuangbai to Heavenly Waves Lake to coordinate the Vast Waves Alliance’s plan to strike the Painstaking Heart Sect and the Setting Sun Sect. True Lord Suwen agreed to the plan, and the Turbid Wave Pavilion began assembling its forces.

• True Lord Jihai stayed in Jade Brocade City, renamed Calming Waves City, while Su Rong pledged the Yuliu Su Clan to the Vast Waves Alliance.
• True Lord Qingyu brought Chen Shuangbai to the Turbid Wave Pavilion on Heavenly Waves Lake, where Chen learned Qingyu was its pavilion master.
• True Lord Suwen agreed to face True Person Huoyang while Qingyu occupied High Person Kuchan, and Chen offered to suppress the two sects’ Golden Core cultivators.
• True Lord Suwen’s invitation to the two sects’ Nascent Soul cultivators was refused, so she ordered the Turbid Wave Pavilion to muster its forces immediately.
• Six Golden Core True Persons, including Yuan Sheng, gathered at the main hall as Chen Shuangbai saw the depth of the pavilion’s strength.

True Lord Suwen surrounded the Setting Sun Sect with the Turbid Wave Pavilion’s inherited Spirit Treasure and demanded that it join the Vast Waves Alliance. True Lord Huoyang refused and attacked, so Suwen began crushing the sect’s protective formation.

• True Person Qian worried that the Vast Waves Alliance might target the Setting Sun Sect, but True Lord Huoyang expected the alliance to invite them to join.
• A disciple reported that True Lord Suwen had surrounded the sect with the Clear and Turbid Two Modes Ring.
• True Lord Huoyang challenged Suwen over her aggressive arrival, and she explained that the alliance needed to bring all of Wu Country under its control.
• Suwen offered Huoyang one chance to join the Vast Waves Alliance and resist the demonic path together.
• Huoyang rejected her demand and summoned a fire dragon from his scarlet gourd.
• Suwen drove the Clear and Turbid Two Modes Ring against the Setting Sun Sect’s protective formation.

True Lord Qingyu brought the Vast Waves Alliance’s order to Longxi Mountain, demanding that the Painstaking Heart Sect submit, while True Lord Kuchan resisted. As Qingyu prepared to fight Kuchan, Chen Shuangbai recognized True Person Zhao among the sect’s Golden Core cultivators.

• True Lord Qingyu explained to Chen Shuangbai how the Painstaking Heart Sect’s founder combined a cultivation art with a Buddhist scripture, creating a tradition plagued by cultivation troubles.
• True Lord Qingyu arrived at Longxi Mountain and demanded that the Painstaking Heart Sect obey the Vast Waves Alliance’s order to unify Wu Country.
• True Lord Kuchan refused to join the alliance, saying his sect wished to avoid worldly conflict and would seal its mountain for a hundred years.
• True Lord Qingyu cited the Painstaking Heart Sect’s seizure of Spring-Returning Mountain and challenged True Lord Kuchan to settle the matter by strength.
• As True Lord Qingyu and True Lord Kuchan faced off, Chen Shuangbai addressed True Person Zhao, whom he had not seen for many years.

Chen Shuangbai confronted the Painstaking Heart Sect’s three Golden Core cultivators and used his Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror to overpower them. He then reported to True Lord Jihai in Calming Waves City, where True Lord Huoyang and True Lord Kuchan awaited the alliance leader’s summons.

• True Person Zhao pleaded with Chen Shuangbai to spare the Painstaking Heart Sect, but Chen Shuangbai warned that the sect could not remain uninvolved in the conflict.
• One of the Painstaking Heart Sect’s Golden Core cultivators attacked Chen Shuangbai with a vajra, and Chen Shuangbai shattered it with the Supreme Yin light of his Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror.
• Chen Shuangbai’s mirror pierced the attacker’s golden-body defense, and the other two Golden Core cultivators hurried to shield him.
• Chen Shuangbai arrived at Calming Waves City and told True Lord Jihai that the Turbid Wave Pavilion’s two True Lords had secured the Setting Sun Sect and Painstaking Heart Sect’s submission.
• True Lord Jihai reproached Chen Shuangbai for nearly killing the Painstaking Heart Sect’s three Golden Core cultivators, and Chen Shuangbai defended his actions as necessary for the Vast Waves Alliance.

The Vast Waves Alliance united Wu and Jing and went to war with the Holy Origin Alliance over Qian, while Chen Shuangbai returned to the Jade Spring Sect to oversee it as True Lord Qingchen entered seclusion. The chapter left Chen holding authority over the sect and facing the weight of his new responsibilities.

• The Flower Washing Sword Sect brought the Heavenly Balance Sect into the Vast Waves Alliance and fought White Deer Mountain and the Holy Origin Alliance for three days, until Old Man Fish Pillow slew two Golden Core True Persons and drove Ji Yuzi back.
• True Lord Jihai ordered Chen Shuangbai south to free True Lord Qingchen to enter seclusion and to help open a new front against the Holy Origin Alliance.
• True Lord Qingyu reached Hengzhang City to guard the Jade Spring Sect’s border with Ning Country, where fighting formally began.
• True Lord Qingchen gave Chen Shuangbai the sect master’s golden token and entrusted him with the Jade Spring Sect’s affairs before entering seclusion with True Person Mei.
• Ding Chengyu arrived at Myriad Phenomena Hall and bowed to Chen Shuangbai.

Chen Shuangbai visited Great Thunder Mountain to inspect its halls and forge a Law Treasure magical robe, but learned the sect’s refiners could not make one. With Yao Jie and Cui Yi assisting, Changming used mysterious prayer incantations to refine the materials, leaving Yao Jie astonished as the forging began.

• Chen Shuangbai left Ding Chengyu in charge of mundane sect affairs and went to Great Thunder Mountain to inspect the halls and forge a magical robe.
• Cui Yi told Chen Shuangbai that Shi Zhang had returned to the sect to attempt Golden Core and that the halls’ best refiners could not forge Law Treasures.
• Chen Shuangbai learned that Yao Jie had returned with Du Zifeng’s posthumous child and accepted the child as his disciple.
• Chen Shuangbai summoned Changming, the Jade Essence Toad, and revealed that he had brought outside help for the robe’s forging.
• Chen Shuangbai ignited [Cinnabar Purple Profound Fire] in the refining chamber while Changming cast third-tier resources into the cauldron and purified them with prayer incantations.
• Yao Jie watched Changming’s unusual refining method in shock, while Chen Shuangbai kept the toad’s origins secret.

Chen Shuangbai oversaw Changming and Yao Jie beginning an artifact-refining project, then watched Feiguang temper his body against Great Thunder Mountain’s dark lightning to awaken his ancestral bloodline. After returning to the True Disciple Hall, Chen Shuangbai discovered the Dew Radiance Pool and learned its powers, dangers, and cultivation limits from True Lord Qingchen’s message.

• Chen Shuangbai put Changming in charge of refining while Yao Jie controlled the flames, then left them resources, sword talismans, and a communication talisman.
• Chen Shuangbai watched Feiguang endure dark lightning strikes above Great Thunder Mountain in an effort to awaken his Cold Moon Golden-Plumed Eagle bloodline and reach golden core.
• Chen Shuangbai used the sect master's golden token to enter the True Disciple Hall and confirmed that it was likely a blessed land or grotto-heaven.
• Chen Shuangbai offered incense in the main hall, entered the rear hall, and discovered the Dew Radiance Pool.
• Chen Shuangbai activated True Lord Qingchen's message and learned the pool's origins, benefits, dangers, and four-hour immersion limit, then examined the jade slips containing golden core-level Law Techniques.

Chen Shuangbai chose two powerful techniques and cultivated them beside the Dew Radiance Pool, while Hengzhang City endured repeated assaults from the Holy Origin Alliance. The battle continued as True Lord Qingyu faced True Lord Shendu and Fu Qianlan fought a poison-wielding Golden Core cultivator.

• Chen Shuangbai selected [Ren Water Flowing Jade Illuminating Radiance] and [Jade Trees and Jeweled Branches, Ten Thousand Layers of Splendor] from the Jade Slips.
• Chen Shuangbai cultivated both techniques beside the Dew Radiance Pool, where their power and resonance with the pool grew apparent.
• True Lord Qingyu guarded Hengzhang City as the [Azure Wave Thunder-Nurturing Earth-Covering Formation] slaughtered waves of Holy Origin Alliance forces.
• True Lord Qingyu recognized True Lord Shendu of the Celebrated Origin Sect and used his net-like Law Treasure to destroy tens of thousands of poisonous insects and gu beasts.
• Fu Qianlan fought a Golden Core enemy wielding a venomous spider and used [Origin-Sealing Water and Fire] against its webs before telling Aunt Yuan to be quiet.

Chen Fuguang helped repel the Holy Origin Alliance’s attack on Hengzhang City, while Fu Qianlan fought Xu Channiang. After the battle, Xu Zhi appeared with an invitation from True Lord Shendu for True Lord Qingchen to make a transaction.

• Fu Qianlan fought Xu Channiang as the Jade Spring Sect and its allies defended Hengzhang City.
• Chen Fuguang used his Breath-Burning Golden Flame and Yang-Surging Falling Light to kill three demonic Foundation Establishment cultivators.
• The Holy Origin Alliance withdrew, and the defenders searched for casualties and buried the dead beneath Hengzhang City’s monument to heroic spirits.
• Chen Fuguang watched the blood clouds over Ning Country and worried about the devastation there.
• Xu Zhi approached Hengzhang City and offered Fu Qianlan a Jade Slip inviting True Lord Qingchen to make a transaction with True Lord Shendu.

Chen Shuangbai ignored True Lord Shendu’s attempt to test whether True Lord Qingchen was in seclusion, while the Holy Origin Alliance faced attacks on multiple fronts. Xu Zhi later returned to Great Arrival Island and found his eldest disciple, Zhang Xian, kneeling before the Floating Light Sect’s main hall.

• Chen Shuangbai told the Mystic Sea Avatar to ignore True Lord Shendu and rely on True Lord Qingyu if he attacked.
• The Mystic Sea Avatar reported that the Heavenly Star Alliance had opened a war against Parting Hate Gate and that True Lord Jihai had sent allies to open another front at Azure Mystic Ridge.
• After the Jade Spring Sect gave no reply, True Lord Shendu ordered Xu Zhi to send a gift to the Jade Spring Dao Child.
• Xu Zhi returned to Great Arrival Island and saw Zhang Xian kneeling before the main hall, meeting his gaze with mockery.

Xu Zhi’s decision to surrender the Floating Light Sect to the Holy Origin Alliance destroyed his relationship with Zhang Xian, while Chen Shuangbai received the newly completed enchanted robe Shadow Chang'e. After refining it, Chen Shuangbai discovered its Conceal Form ability and demonstrated how silently it moved him.

• Xu Zhi suppressed Zhang Xian’s opposition to joining the Holy Origin Alliance, and their confrontation ended with Zhang Xian expelled from the Floating Light Sect.
• Chen Shuangbai arrived at Great Thunder Mountain, where Changming presented the completed robe Shadow Chang'e and Yao Jie explained that he had contributed three white feathers for its refinement.
• Shadow Chang'e recognized Chen Shuangbai and draped itself over him, changing to his favored pine-frost color as his Lunar Rites Golden Core began refining it.
• Chen Shuangbai used Shadow Chang'e’s Conceal Form ability to disappear and reappear behind Yao Jie without making a sound or leaving a detectable trace.

Chen Shuangbai tested Changming’s three marvels and put the jade spirit to work refining Law Treasures while hoping he would recover more Jade Spirit Clan knowledge. Six months later, the Holy Origin Alliance launched another assault on Hengzhang City with Crimson Fire Crows, leaving True Lord Qingyu facing True Lord Shendu as the defenders struggled below.

• Chen Shuangbai ordered Changming to refine the sect’s Law Treasures and made him soak in a basin of Dew Radiance Pool water.
• Over the next six months, the Holy Origin Alliance repeatedly attacked Hengzhang City while True Lord Qingyu held off True Lord Shendu.
• True Lord Qingyu suspected True Lord Shendu was nurturing a powerful poison strain, then confronted him as the latest assault began.
• Seven or eight Crimson Fire Crows appeared in the allied army, and True Lord Shendu used poisonous light to challenge True Lord Qingyu in the sky.
• The Mystic Sea Avatar’s mystic sea was shattered by the crows’ flames, while Fu Qianlan identified two Golden Core and five Foundation Establishment Crimson Fire Crows from the Crimson Fire Cave.

After the Vast Waves Alliance lost two border commanderies to the Crimson Fire Crows and their ancient lamp, Fu Qianlan and Chen Shuangbai learned more about the enemy’s bloodline and the lamp’s Bing Sun power. The chapter left Chen Shuangbai convinced that the Crimson Fire Cave’s Nascent Soul demon lord had joined the Holy Origin Alliance to avenge Demon King Junyu’s death.

• The Crimson Fire Crows and an ancient lamp defeated the Vast Waves Alliance’s forces, forcing them to surrender two border commanderies and injuring the Mystic Sea Avatar.
• Fu Qianlan asked Aunt Yuan how to defeat the Crimson Fire Crows, and Aunt Yuan explained their Golden Crow lineage and the ancient lamp’s likely Bing Sun might.
• Aunt Yuan warned Fu Qianlan that the Crimson Fire Cave’s Nascent Soul demon lord had probably been persuaded to join the mainland campaign, leaving Fu Qianlan to hope Chen Shuangbai could respond.
• Chen Shuangbai learned that the leading Crimson Fire Crow carried Purple Flame Fire Crow blood and that the lamp’s Bing Sun light had overwhelmed the Mystic Sea Avatar.
• Changming explained Bing Sun’s ancient origins and destructive power, and Chen Shuangbai concluded that the Crimson Fire Cave’s demon lord sought revenge for Demon King Junyu’s death.

Chen Shuangbai studied the sect’s [Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture] and realized his sword cultivation and Golden Core lacked Yang nature to balance his Great Yin path. He left for Hengzhang City after Changming reported that the Crimson Fire Crow was causing trouble there.

• Chen Shuangbai examined [Foot-Long Silk] and pondered how to form his own Sword Intent by studying the Sword Intent left by [Sword Immortal Huanzhen].
• Chen Shuangbai retrieved the sect’s three inherited arts with the sect master’s golden token and read the [Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture].
• Chen Shuangbai recognized that his Great Yin sword arts and Lunar Rites Golden Core lacked Yang nature, which could hinder his Sword Intent and future Nascent Soul attainment.
• Chen Shuangbai returned to Changming, carried him out of the pool, and told him to watch over the peak.
• Chen Shuangbai flew toward Hengzhang City to deal with the Crimson Fire Crow.

Hengzhang City’s defenders fought the seven Crimson Fire Crows and the Celebrated Origin Sect’s poison cultivators, using the city formation and their own techniques to hold them back. Lu Ke then activated the [Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation], escalating the battle against the Mystic Sea Avatar and her allies.

• The Celebrated Origin Sect’s four Golden Core True Persons unleashed poisonous mist with their banners, forcing the Vast Waves Alliance cultivators to retreat beneath the [Azure Wave Thunder-Nurturing Earth-Covering Formation].
• The Mystic Sea Avatar merged with the formation and strengthened it to resist the poison, while asking Fu Qianlan, Yuan Sheng, and Pang Zhen to hold off the Crimson Fire Crows.
• Fu Qianlan attacked with her sword, talismans, and gourd while Yuan Sheng and Pang Zhen joined their clear and turbid water arts to weaken the crows’ demonic fire.
• Fu Qianlan and her allies suppressed two Crimson Fire Crows, but Lu Ke ordered his three fellow sect members to raise their poison banners together.
• Lu Ke and the other Celebrated Origin Sect cultivators formed the [Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation] from the banners’ four venomous spirit essences.

True Lord Qingyu and True Lord Shendu fought fiercely as the invading poison formations overwhelmed Hengzhang City's defenses. Fu Qianlan was caught in the Crimson Fire Crow's ancient lamp flame, leaving her fate uncertain.

• True Lord Shendu used the [Five Poisons Miasma Light Treasure Bottle] to pressure True Lord Qingyu, who defended himself with the [Clear and Turbid Heaven and Earth Treasure Ring].
• True Lord Shendu invited True Lord Qingyu to join the Holy Origin Alliance, but Qingyu refused and continued the duel.
• The [Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation] battered the [Azure Wave Thunder-Nurturing Earth-Covering Formation], while the Mystic Sea Avatar countered with a water-lightning dragon.
• Fu Qianlan fought the lamp-bearing Crimson Fire Crow with help from Yuan Sheng and Pang Zhen, but a moment's distraction left her exposed.
• The Crimson Fire Crow unleashed its ancient lamp's scarlet flame, burning through Fu Qianlan's green-skinned gourd and engulfing her.

Chen Shuangbai arrived to protect Fu Qianlan and faced Demon King Junli, who sought revenge for his father’s death. After cutting through Junli’s attack and wounding him with successive sword strikes, Chen Shuangbai turned toward True Person Luke after Luke’s ambush failed.

• Chen Shuangbai of the Jade Spring Sect appeared before Fu Qianlan and identified himself to the Crimson Fire Crows.
• Demon King Junli revealed that Chen Shuangbai had killed his father, Junyu, and attacked him with the Bing Sun Ancient Lamp.
• Chen Shuangbai split Junli’s enormous sphere of Bing Sun light with [Foot-Long Silk].
• Using [Hide Form], Chen Shuangbai struck Junli twice, knocking him down and badly wounding the root of his right wing.
• True Person Luke launched a poisonous attack, but it passed harmlessly through Chen Shuangbai, who warned Luke that he was eager to die.

Chen Shuangbai was trapped in True Person Luke’s Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation but used his Great Yin treasures and Azure Thunder Cloud-Piercing Shuttle to batter the formation. He brought the weakened formation to the brink of collapse and raised his sword to break it.

• True Person Luke and three Celebrated Origin Sect cultivators trapped Chen Shuangbai in the Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation, where his Hide Form ability was hindered.
• Chen Shuangbai used the Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror to block and purify the formation’s poisonous light, while his Hide Form let him evade the Hundred Poisons Spirit-Slaying Sword.
• Chen Shuangbai struck the formation from within with Great Yin Illusory Radiance, wounding its cultivators and creating an opening to attack one of them before evading another poison sword.
• True Person Luke ordered the cultivators to bring out their Law Treasures, but Chen Shuangbai knocked all four poison-path treasures back with a gold-and-jade light.
• Chen Shuangbai released the Azure Thunder Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, which pierced the formation and made openings as the four poison banners cracked and their beast phantoms faltered.
• Chen Shuangbai raised his Great Yin sword and shouted “Break!” as the formation shuddered.

Chen Shuangbai shattered the Celebrated Origin Sect’s formation and killed its three Golden Core True Persons as they fled. True Person Luke revived his power and faced him again, just as Demon King Junli arrived with the [Bing Sun Divine Lamp].

• Chen Shuangbai broke the Four Spirits Poison Baleful Intent Formation, leaving the Celebrated Origin Sect’s three Golden Core True Persons badly wounded.
• Chen Shuangbai pursued the fleeing cultivators and slew all three with his Great Yin treasured sword, annihilating their souls.
• True Person Luke swallowed a pitch-black pill to restore his Law Power, then turned to face Chen Shuangbai with his poison banners and [Hundred Poisons Spirit-Slaying Sword].
• Demon King Junli arrived and attacked Chen Shuangbai with the [Bing Sun Divine Lamp], while Fu Qianlan and the Mystic Sea Avatar intercepted the other Crimson Fire Crows.
• Demon King Junli declared that he would show Chen Shuangbai the ancient treasure’s true might.

Chen Shuangbai fought Demon King Junli and True Person Luke inside the Bing Sun Divine Lamp’s domain, using Great Yin treasures and a deadly sword technique to threaten them both. After Luke urged Junli to cooperate, the two enemies prepared to join forces against Chen Shuangbai.

• Junli used the Bing Sun Divine Lamp to suppress Chen Shuangbai’s concealment and rain purple demon fire upon him.
• Chen Shuangbai’s Great Yin Sword Essence struck at True Person Luke, who sacrificed his left arm to escape and move closer to Junli.
• Junli unleashed Bing Sun Divine Light at Chen Shuangbai, who countered with the Swaying Moon Sunken Cold Treasure Mirror and a blue treasure banner.
• Chen Shuangbai multiplied into thousands of illusory figures, which Junli attacked with purple demon fire.
• True Person Luke warned Junli that Chen Shuangbai could kill them both and urged him to use every means available.
• Junli agreed to consider joining forces with Luke and asked what they should do.

True Person Luke and Demon King Junli used a Spirit-Severing Talisman and their attacks to try to kill Chen Shuangbai, but his [Paired Instruments] ability let him deceive Junli and strike back. Junli fell, and the corpse of a Crimson Fire Crow created a fire vein where it landed.

• True Person Luke showed Demon King Junli a Spirit-Severing Talisman that could briefly sever Chen Shuangbai’s connection to his Law Treasures, and Junli agreed to create an opening.
• Junli used the [Bing Sun Divine Lamp] while True Person Luke and the Three-Eyed Azure Chi attacked, and the Spirit-Severing Talisman cut Chen Shuangbai off from several treasures.
• True Person Luke restrained Chen Shuangbai as Junli sent a powerful pillar of Bing Sun Divine Light at him, apparently destroying his dharma body.
• Chen Shuangbai appeared behind Junli using the [Paired Instruments] ability of the [Shadow Chang'e] feathered robe and struck him with [Jade Trees and Jewel Branches, Myriad Layers of Splendor].
• Junli fell beneath Chen Shuangbai’s Great Yin Swordsmanship, and a Crimson Fire Crow’s corpse landed in the mountains, burning for three days and three nights and forming a fire vein.
