Chapter Summaries

Su Fuxi rested and recovered during the journey west while Lin Sui quietly cared for her, and she later took him to explore Crane Capital. As the Forgotten Land secret realm’s opening approached, Su Fuxi planned to send Lin Sui to its outskirts and use the opportunity to mature the hidden imprint in his God-Slaying Finger for her body-possession plan.

• Lin Sui covered the exhausted Su Fuxi with a fox-fur cloak, arranged comfortable bedding, and watched over her as she slept for half a month.
• Su Fuxi settled into a regular routine of rest and training, then reforged Lin Sui’s shattered soul banner and improved its quality.
• Su Fuxi and Lin Sui left Zha Wuren’s flying boat outside Crane Capital, while Zha Wuren angrily smashed the table after finding the spirit stones she had left as payment.
• Su Fuxi spent seven days exploring Crane Capital with Lin Sui and refused his suggestion that she take another disciple.
• As the Forgotten Land’s opening neared, Su Fuxi decided Lin Sui would enter the outskirts and planned to mature the God-Slaying Finger’s hidden imprint to enable her body-possession plan.

Lin Sui and Su Fuxi entered the secret realm and went their separate ways, while the No Falsehood Sword sensed an ancient aura and flew off toward it. Su Fuxi reunited with Zha Wuren and other Azure Cloud Sect cultivators, and the group reached the central ruins to investigate its restrictions.

• Su Fuxi and Lin Sui entered the secret realm, and she gave him a map and set off for the central ruins while he headed toward a wooded valley.

• Su Fuxi met Zha Wuren and three other Golden Core elders from the Azure Cloud Sect after traveling for half a month.
• Two months later, the group reached the central ruins, saw that other cultivators had broken the valley's restrictions, and flew in to explore.

Su Fuxi returned to the ruins and entered a hidden subspace while following the route she had discovered on her previous visit. Elsewhere, Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword through dangerous terrain, gathering treasures as he wondered how his Master was doing.

• Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword onward and wondered how his Master was doing.

Su Fuxi completed her study of the Lesser Great Luo Art before the damaged tower’s restrictions sent her back to the dangerous garden. As she worked to escape, Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword toward a powerful demonic beast, then chose to attempt Core Formation before pursuing a treasure that might help Su Fuxi form her Nascent Soul.

• Su Fuxi carefully deduced the Lesser Great Luo Art’s latter portion, correcting flaws in her earlier work as she studied for three months.
• A restriction transported Su Fuxi to the peony garden, where she confirmed she was trapped in a separate subspace and restored her energy.
• Su Fuxi learned the complete art contained palm, fist, and finger seals, then spent three years searching for changed restriction nodes while Lin Sui failed to reach their meeting point.
• Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword toward a powerful demonic beast, but refused to approach it until the sword persuaded him to consider taking a nearby treasure through cunning.
• Lin Sui retreated to a cliffside cave, concealed himself with Su Fuxi’s restriction flag, and began cultivating to attempt Core Formation.
• Lin Sui resolved to seek the treasure after his breakthrough, hoping its trace of origin power could help Su Fuxi form her Nascent Soul.

Su Fuxi spent years studying the garden’s restrictions and extracted five bamboo roots before escaping toward the Pill Pavilion. There, Zha Wuren abandoned a junior sister in a deadly astral wind passage as Golden Core cultivators gathered to break the Pill Pavilion restrictions, and Su Fuxi arrived among them.

• Su Fuxi broke through the garden restrictions, carved a narrow passage, and dug out five tough bamboo roots over several months.

Su Fuxi was forced to bargain with Golden Core cultivators who wanted her to open the Pill Pavilion, while Lin Sui completed his breakthrough and prepared to seek the powerful demonic beast and treasure. The chapter left Lin Sui flying toward the jungle ravine on the No Falsehood Sword.

• Su Fuxi refused to help open the Pill Pavilion until the cultivators handed over their storage bags and promised her ten thousand spirit stones each.
• The cultivators, including Zha Wuren, gave Su Fuxi their marked storage bags, and she began analyzing the restrictions while they blocked her retreat.

• Lin Sui concealed the Soul of Slaughter puppet and rode the No Falsehood Sword toward the ravine where a powerful demonic beast awaited.

Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword into a hidden cavern, where he discovered a spiritual vein guarded by a peak third-tier One-Horned Flood Dragon Serpent. He killed the serpent after luring it into the chasm, collected its useful materials, and returned to the pool.

• Lin Sui followed the No Falsehood Sword through a chasm and submerged pool until he found a cavern concealing a One-Horned Flood Dragon Serpent.

• Lin Sui fought the serpent with the God-Slaying Finger and Remnant Star, wounded it, then retreated through the water and out into the chasm.

• Lin Sui rested, collected the serpent’s useful materials, and descended into the pool again with the No Falsehood Sword.

Su Fuxi triggered the Pill Pavilion’s destruction restriction to escape, killing the Golden Core cultivators pursuing her while Zha Wuren fled gravely wounded. She returned to rescue Fang Yun, a sectmate trapped in astral winds, after Fang Yun promised her resources, and began trying to interrupt the restriction.

• Su Fuxi activated the ruins’ restrictions and escaped under her banner’s protection as the restriction spear attacked Zha Wuren and the others.
• Su Fuxi killed several fleeing cultivators with the Embroidered Gold Sword, while the spear killed the middle-aged cultivator and the rest; she and Zha Wuren escaped in different directions.
• Su Fuxi returned to the Pill Pavilion, confirmed the remaining cultivators were dead, and burned away traces of her actions.
• Su Fuxi found Fang Yun trapped in astral winds and agreed to rescue her in exchange for all her resources.
• Fang Yun swore an oath to give Su Fuxi her storage bag, and Su Fuxi began analyzing the restriction so she could briefly halt the wind and free her.

Su Fuxi escaped the ruin with Fang Yun, seized most of her treasures, and entered seclusion to study her new techniques and loot. After leaving seclusion, she set out to collect protected spiritual herbs and find her disciple, while Zha Wuren led the red-robed Gu Sheng toward her.

• Su Fuxi rescued Fang Yun from the gale, took most of her spirit stones and several treasures, and parted ways with her.

Su Fuxi was ambushed by Zha Wuren and a red-robed Golden Core cultivator who wanted to capture her, and she fought back with her restriction banner and powerful spells. She killed Zha Wuren and fled, but the red-robed cultivator struck her with a Crimson Immortal Gu and pursued her.

• Su Fuxi discovered that the gray mist surrounding her consisted of Spirit-Corroding Insects, and she used her restriction banner to fend them off and reveal Zha Wuren and the red-robed cultivator.
• The red-robed cultivator demanded that Su Fuxi become his concubine, while she challenged him to kill Zha Wuren; Zha Wuren attacked her, and she countered with a spike.
• Su Fuxi’s Embroidered Gold Sword was trapped by the red-robed cultivator’s golden cicada, but her Great Luo Finger damaged its wings and forced the cultivator to struggle.

• Su Fuxi cut Zha Wuren’s throat and fled inside her restriction banner, while the red-robed cultivator seized Zha Wuren’s teleportation treasure and pursued her.
• The red-robed cultivator’s Crimson Immortal Gu pierced Su Fuxi’s defensive restriction, and he chased her while threatening to capture and torment her.

Su Fuxi fled the red-robed cultivator after he infected her with the Crimson Immortal Gu, which caused her body to alternate between intense heat and cold. She hid in a cold spring until he left, but her attempt to suppress the gu with icy breath failed, and she emerged gravely injured.

• Su Fuxi discovered the Crimson Immortal Gu in her meridians, connected to her heart, while the red-robed cultivator claimed only primal yang could resolve it.
• Su Fuxi used a jade talisman and Ice Breath Art as she fled for days, but she could not seal the gu and the cultivator continued pursuing her.
• Su Fuxi reached a cold spring in the Black Rock Mountain Range and hid underwater by transforming into qi, which concealed her aura and quieted the gu.
• The red-robed cultivator searched the mountain range and cold pool, then left after deciding Su Fuxi could not have survived the icy water.
• Su Fuxi waited until the red-robed cultivator departed, but the icy breath worsened the gu's effects and left her suffering cold poison.
• Su Fuxi surfaced and collapsed on the bank, coughing blood as her attempt to purge the poison with icy breath failed.

Su Fuxi, suffering from the Crimson Immortal Gu’s poison, decided to find a male cultivator to help purge it, then discovered Lin Sui was nearby and disguised herself to approach him. She restrained Lin Sui and carried him to her cave, leaving her purpose unclear.

• Su Fuxi endured the conflicting poisonous auras and, after giving up on cultivating for immortality, sought a way to purge the poison and take revenge on Gu Sheng.
• Lin Sui returned to the Black Rock Mountain Range and used the Moon Bell to track the Sun Bell toward Su Fuxi.
• Su Fuxi heard Lin Sui calling for his master, hid the bell, disguised herself, and flew toward him.
• Lin Sui followed the bell’s signal until Su Fuxi trapped him with restrictions and confiscated his belongings.
• Su Fuxi sealed Lin Sui’s spiritual power and storage bags, then carried him to her cave without explaining what she intended to do.

Su Fuxi sealed Lin Sui in a cave and, suffering from a poison, forced him to help her through dual cultivation. Lin Sui recognized her by the orchid fragrance and familiar dress fabric, but kept her identity secret as Su Fuxi began teaching him how to proceed.

• Su Fuxi bound Lin Sui's spiritual power and sight, then told him she needed to dual cultivate to cure a poison.
• Lin Sui recognized the familiar orchid fragrance and suspected that the black-robed senior was his master, Su Fuxi.
• Lin Sui identified the scent and fabric of Su Fuxi's clothing, confirming his suspicion while she continued hiding who she was.
• Su Fuxi pushed Lin Sui down, but he reversed their positions and kissed her before she could stop him.
• Su Fuxi agreed to teach Lin Sui and took a soft mat from his storage bag, then pressed against him to ease the poison's alternating heat and cold.

Su Fuxi and Lin Sui repeatedly used dual cultivation to purge the Crimson Immortal Gu’s poison, and the red lines around her heart meridian finally began to recede. Lin Sui grew more attached to the disguised Su Fuxi and resolved to become strong enough to stay by her side, while she hid her identity and worried about what he would think of her.

• Su Fuxi and Lin Sui continued dual cultivation, but the Crimson Immortal Gu’s core remained in place despite her taking Lin Sui’s primordial yang.
• Su Fuxi noticed that the pink light on her meridians had begun to fade, though the poison was not yet fully purged.
• Lin Sui held Su Fuxi close and resolved to cultivate harder so he would no longer be treated as her junior.
• Three days later, Su Fuxi saw the red lines around her heart meridian retreat slightly and began drawing Lin Sui close whenever the Gu flared up.
• Lin Sui asked the disguised Su Fuxi where she came from and whether he would see her again, and she warned him not to ask too much.

Su Fuxi and Lin Sui spent several days purging the Crimson Immortal Gu poison, which gradually weakened until its connection to her heart meridian vanished. After restoring Lin Sui’s belongings and leaving him asleep in the cave, Su Fuxi departed alone.

• Su Fuxi discovered that the poison had loosened and that her condition had improved after ten days with Lin Sui.
• Su Fuxi told Lin Sui that half the poison was gone and urged him to help her purge the rest so she could let him go find his master.
• Three days later, the Crimson Immortal Gu’s core had dwindled to a glimmer and its red line to Su Fuxi’s heart meridian disappeared.
• Su Fuxi used a Drowsiness Talisman on Lin Sui, removed the seal on his body, restored his storage bags, and cleaned and covered him.
• Su Fuxi left the cave after giving Lin Sui a final, reluctant glance.

After waking to find Su Fuxi gone, Lin Sui followed rumors to Ink Spirit Hill, where she had set a trap to draw out the Red Robe Daoist. The Red Robe Daoist arrived to confront her, and Lin Sui watched from a distance as their battle began.

• Lin Sui woke in the empty cave, found Su Fuxi’s purple ribbon, and searched for her before entering seclusion to recover.
• Su Fuxi offered a bounty for information about the Red Robe Daoist and announced that she would wait for the Gold-Birth Fruit at Ink Spirit Hill.
• Lin Sui tracked the rumors to Ink Spirit Hill, secretly watched Su Fuxi, and withdrew to a cave when she told him not to disturb her.
• The Red Robe Daoist learned of Su Fuxi’s challenge and the Gold-Birth Fruit, killed his informant, and headed for Ink Spirit Hill.
• The Red Robe Daoist arrived at Ink Spirit Hill and threatened Su Fuxi, who revealed herself behind a protective restriction and attacked him with a lightning-charged cone.

Su Fuxi defeated Daoist Gu Sheng with the sect master's sword intent, killing him and three peak Golden Core cultivators who tried to flee its path. Afterward, she rested while Lin Sui stood guard, watching her with an intense gaze.

• Su Fuxi detonated a magical treasure to injure the golden cicada, then used a fireball array to hold back Gu Sheng's Spirit-Corroding Insects.
• Gu Sheng released his enlarged Thousand Silk Gu, which consumed Su Fuxi's fireballs, so she unleashed the sect master's sword intent and killed him.
• The sword intent continued beyond Ink Hill and killed three peak Golden Core cultivators before Su Fuxi recalled it and sealed it in her sea of consciousness.
• The remaining cultivators fled, and a purple-clad young man gave a Foundation Establishment cultivator a storage bag of spirit stones on his master's behalf.
• Lin Sui returned to guard Su Fuxi as she rested, and his gaze toward her grew intensely uninhibited.

Su Fuxi collected the Red Robe Daoist’s spoils, took the Gold-Birth Fruits, and tamed the golden cicada while Lin Sui gathered resources and went to cultivate. After healing the cicada, she rode it off to find Lin Sui.

• Su Fuxi took Zha Wuren’s teleportation artifact and a sealed jade box from Red Robe’s storage bag, then gave Lin Sui the Spirit-Corroding Insects.
• Su Fuxi collected the Gold-Birth Fruits and half of the Gold Essence Root, giving Lin Sui the root and spirit bamboo root for his sword.
• Lin Sui went to a cave to cultivate and temper the No Falsehood Sword while Su Fuxi summoned the golden cicada.
• Su Fuxi erased Red Robe’s soul imprint, made the golden cicada acknowledge her as its master, and healed it with fruits and pills.
• Su Fuxi mounted the recovered golden cicada and flew off to find Lin Sui.

Lin Sui subdued the Spirit-Corroding Insects, repaired the No Falsehood Sword, and began treating Su Fuxi’s cold poison. The painful treatment continued through the day, leaving Su Fuxi exhausted and inwardly furious at Lin Sui for tickling her foot.

• Lin Sui captured the insect king, erased the red-robed Daoist’s soul imprint, and repaired the No Falsehood Sword with elemental roots, though its spirit still demanded an origin crystal.
• Su Fuxi checked that Lin Sui’s cultivation had stabilized and asked about his God-Slaying Finger, while he showed her his single Soul of Slaughter puppet.
• Su Fuxi asked Lin Sui to remove her cold poison, and he estimated that treatment would take between half a month and three months.
• Lin Sui began drawing the cold poison from Su Fuxi’s body with his Ice Art, carefully absorbing it into his Golden Core as she endured severe pain.
• After Su Fuxi nearly collapsed, Lin Sui tried to pause, but she insisted that he finish the day’s treatment and continued enduring the process.

Lin Sui told Su Fuxi that the No Falsehood Sword had led him to a crystal fragment containing Origin Power, but she learned it could not help her form a Nascent Soul. The sword spirit revealed that Su Fuxi had less than seventy years to live, leaving Lin Sui worried about whether she could survive long enough for him to reach the Immortal Domain.

• Lin Sui removed the cold poison from Su Fuxi’s feet and explained that treating her once a day would take three months.
• Lin Sui showed Su Fuxi the Origin Crystal fragment he had obtained through the No Falsehood Sword, and she recognized its powerful aura but told him to hide it when she sensed a cultivator and demonic beast nearby.
• Su Fuxi explained that the fragment’s trace of Origin Power could at most delay her five decays of heaven and man, while the sword spirit urged Lin Sui to let it devour the crystal.
• Lin Sui questioned the sword spirit about its identity and learned it had once been Demon Venerable No Falsehood, whose lifebound sword had fused with its remnant soul after its body collapsed.
• The sword spirit said divine and immortal artifacts were in the Immortal Domain, then revealed that Su Fuxi had less than seventy years to live; it fell asleep before explaining the difference between the Immortal Domain and the Mystic Realm.
• Su Fuxi watched Lin Sui meditate and worried that his cultivation would soon surpass hers, making it harder for her to seize his body through the Cauldron Mark.
