Chapter Summaries

Qianji managed the Snow Mosquito Clan as its members grew rapidly in strength, then reunited with Li Yan, who checked on the clan and prepared to leave. Li Yan departed with Qianji remaining behind, armed with plans and safeguards to protect the clan.

• Qianji ruled the Snow Mosquito Clan with strict monthly audiences and executed five Nascent Soul Realm elders who had concealed information and stolen clan resources.
• Li Yan appeared after Qianji dismissed the clan elders, and Qianji greeted him warmly and told him about the clan’s progress.
• Li Yan learned that the secret realm was stable and that no powerful enemies had attacked, then spent several days preparing to leave.
• Li Yan and Qianji emerged from the secret realm onto the Heavenly Demon Grassland, where Li Yan ordered Qianji to return and explained how to flee and contact the Pojun Sect if the clan faced disaster.
• Qianji stayed behind despite wanting to accompany Li Yan, confident that the Snow Mosquito Clan would thrive with the poisons and formations Li Yan had left to protect it.

Li Yan left Qianji after reinforcing the Snow Mosquito clan’s secret realm and set out for the Pojun Sect, avoiding the dangerous territory of the Ink-Blood Thunder Roc clan. During the journey, he tested how his blue-green cauldron affected the small dark-yellow cauldron, which began changing as it absorbed the larger cauldron’s power.

• Li Yan prepared Qianji to destroy the secret realm’s formations and escape through its teleportation array if the clan faced disaster, then departed after encouraging Qianji to grow stronger.
• Li Yan traveled toward the Pojun Sect, avoided investigating the Ink-Blood Thunder Roc clan’s territory, and escaped fights with Demon Race clans along the way.
• Li Yan examined the walnut-sized dark-yellow cauldron and recalled that it could conceal a Nascent Soul and nourish it during its first visits.
• Li Yan tested the blue-green cauldron and found that it drained most living beings and spiritual objects but nurtured wood-attribute treasures and spirit plants at the cost of its own spiritual energy.
• Li Yan placed Clear Luminous Silk in the blue-green cauldron, where it grew nearly undetectable threads, then put the dark-yellow cauldron inside it and observed the inner forest’s trees turning crystalline.
