Chapter Summaries

Liu Bai used the Innate Five Spirits Disc and his Five Spirits Divine to defeat Cao Feng and the other Supremes, leaving Blood Eagle Hall devastated and Jiu You Palace victorious.

• At the Great Luo Golden Platform, Xu Qing and Zhou Yue stepped forward together, and Liu Bai let them join him without intervening.

Xu Qing, Zhou Yue, Liu Bai, and Fang Lei received the four places in the Great Luo Golden Pool, and Fang Lei chose to join Jiu You Palace.

After Jiu You returned to power and Liu Bai cultivated the Great Luo Golden Body, the two planned to expand Jiu You Palace’s forces and conquer territory beyond the Great Luo Heavenly Region. Jiu You traded twelve cities to connect her lands with Lion Tiger Mountain, while Liu Bai began recruiting two thousand elite soldiers for the coming campaign.

Liu Bai maneuvered Jiu You Palace’s campaign to draw the Thunder Demon Sect into the conflict while the Thunderfire Plains’ leaders argued over how to resist.

• After Liu Bai helped suppress Mandala’s curse, she offered to have the Great Luo Heavenly Region and the Hundred Battles Domain begin the War of Conquest as a reward.
• Mandala explained that the Hundred Battles Domain had been testing her strength on behalf of other powers, and she decided there was no longer a reason to delay the war.

Liu Bai and Jiu You prepared Jiu You Palace for the Great Luo Heavenly Region’s War of Conquest, targeting the Thunder Demon Sect to seize its resources and seek Nether Heart Demon Lightning.

Liu Bai arrived at the ruined Wind Howl City and led Jiu You Palace’s forces against the Hundred Battles Domain while confronting an ambush by eight Third Grade Supremes. Trapped in the Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Array as their attacks gathered, he spent three million Experience Points to strengthen himself, leaving the battle poised to erupt.

• Qin Qian and the others gathered powerful attacks against Liu Bai, who spent three million Experience Points to increase his spiritual energy and strengthen the Five Spirits Divine Incarnation.

Liu Bai broke the Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Array, killed seven of the eight Supremes who had trapped him, and captured Huang Shixing after learning of an ancient secret realm tied to spirit arrays. He left Wind Howl City with Huang Shixing and reached the hidden mountain where the secret realm lay, asking how to enter its array.

• Liu Bai used the Five Spirits Canopy to withstand the attackers’ assaults while his Vertical Eye examined the Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Array and took control of it.
• Liu Bai turned the array’s golden chains against Qin Qian and the other seven Supremes, then killed seven and spared Huang Shixing in exchange for information about an ancient secret realm.
• Huang Shixing told Liu Bai that the secret realm held a spirit-array treasure and that its complete Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Array had once contained eighty-one Array Flags.

• Liu Bai left Wind Howl City with Huang Shixing and found the secret realm’s hidden array on an ordinary mountain peak, then asked Huang Shixing how to enter.

Liu Bai broke through a deadly illusion-array trial and discovered that the ruins tailored their trials to each entrant. He entered the next trial, where his powers were sealed and he had to battle a True Spirit phantom using arrays.

• Huang Shixing opened a doorway into the array and warned Liu Bai that the ruins contained successive trials with rewards.
• Liu Bai entered the Withered Bone Illusion Array, fought a demonic skeletal army, and used his Virtual Mind's Eye to locate and destroy the array core.
• Liu Bai claimed the black scroll reward, recorded the Withered Bone Illusion Array, and took the teleportation array to the next trial.
• Liu Bai arrived on a lifeless plain and faced a True Spirit phantom Spirit Array Master, but found that he could not summon his Dharma Body.
• Liu Bai and the phantom finished setting up their arrays at the same time, with Liu Bai raising the Red Cloud Array and the Azure Lotus Sword Array.

Liu Bai passed two array trials, obtained the first volume of the Array Compendium, and was barred from entering the third trial because his Array Dao Realm did not meet its requirements. He returned to join Jiu You’s campaign against the Thunder Demon Sect, whose forces gathered at Thunder Demon Mountain for a decisive battle.

• Liu Bai blocked the Azure Lotus Sword Array with the seven layers of the Crimson Cloud Array, then dismantled a powerful grand array and passed the second trial.
• Liu Bai received the Array Compendium, which contained eighty-one spirit arrays, but could not enter the third trial because his Array Dao Realm did not meet the requirements.
• Huang Shixing met Liu Bai at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Bai led him back to the army preparing to fight the Thunder Demon Sect.
• Five days later, the Jiu You Palace’s encirclement army entered Thunder Demon Sect territory and found its cities undefended as the sect gathered its forces at Thunder Demon Mountain.
• Jiu You and Liu Bai led their army to Thunder Demon Mountain, where Jiu You challenged the sect and enormous lightning rose from the mountain.

Jiu You revealed her Divine Beast power and challenged Qin Tiangang for Thunder Demon Mountain, while Liu Bai confronted Qin Ling and the Thunder Demon Legion. The armies clashed across the battlefield, leaving Liu Bai alone against Qin Ling and his thousands of soldiers.

• Jiu You dispelled Qin Tiangang's pressure by revealing her Nine Nether Sparrow Divine Beast form and demanded that he surrender Thunder Demon Mountain.

• Liu Bai ordered Tang Bing to lead the Great Luo Heavenly Region's forces against the Thunder Demon Sect while he faced Qin Ling and the Thunder Demon Legion alone.
• The forces of both regions collided in a massive battle, and Qin Ling taunted Liu Bai for challenging his army by himself.

Liu Bai concealed the Demon Lotus Spirit Slaying Array beneath the Five Spirits Divine Incarnation while Qin Ling bombarded him with the Thunder Demon Legion’s battle intent. After Qin Ling unleashed the Thunder Demon Sect’s hidden power, Liu Bai activated the formation and triggered a devastating clash that split Thunder Demon Mountain apart, leaving him worried that Thunder Demon Abyss—and his Supreme Heart Demon Scripture—had been destroyed.

Liu Bai and Jiu You tracked the Nether Heart Demon Lightning to a hidden vacuum zone, where Liu Bai discovered a broken stele bearing the Supreme Heart Demon Scripture. After identifying the lightning as a giant python, Liu Bai prepared to seal it while Jiu You guarded him.

• Liu Bai used the Five Elements Divine Lightning origin power to provoke the Nether Heart Demon Lightning and locate its source.
• Liu Bai and Jiu You entered the vacuum zone, where Liu Bai gradually adapted to the lightning’s mind-shaking thunder as they advanced.

• Liu Bai decided to seal the Nether Heart Demon Lightning Python using power drawn from the Immortal True Form Diagram, and Jiu You transformed to protect him.
