Liu Yi cleansed Jiang Yuan’s mind and sent him back to the Evil Soul Hall as a secretly reformed agent before entering seclusion to break through to the Dao Body Realm.

• Liu Yi found that the new Cell World could not draw energy directly from the Chaos Sea or endless void and would have to grow slowly by converting distant chaotic currents.

Wu Ruohan introduced the Fairness System to the eight elders of the Hehuan Sect, who learned how it could transform cultivation and disrupt the balance between sects.

• Wu Ruohan proposed incorporating the Dao Seed Martial Dao System’s method of absorbing solar, lunar, and stellar power into the Hehuan Sect’s inherited methods, then asked the elders how the sect should establish itself in the new era.

Wu Ruohan warned the Hehuan Sect elders that the Fairness System could weaken the Devil Dao and leave their sect vulnerable, so they resolved to strengthen the sect by earning Energy Points. They agreed to promote livestreaming and expand their pleasure establishments, but learned the Azure Alliance was a formidable competitor, prompting Feng Yuran to suggest recruiting them.

• Wu Ruohan explained that the Fairness System would likely empower the righteous path more than the Devil Dao, threatening the Hehuan Sect despite its generally peaceful relations.

• Zhu Yizhou demanded to know what TikTok was, and one frightened man offered him a System Seed to bind the Fairness System.

After binding the Fairness System, Zhu Yizhou discovered that TikTok exposed his broken engagement and public defeat to Su Yuxuan, then found he could not enter the Nascent Soul Realm Combat Power Ranking. Determined to improve himself, he decided to return to the Azure Cloud Sect to sell its Scripture Pavilion’s cultivation methods, while wondering whether to report the system.

• Zhu Yizhou accepted the System Seed and learned about the Fairness System’s features, including TikTok, the Trial Tower, and the Combat Power Ranking.

Liu Yi and Bai Qianqian’s senior could not join, so Su Yuxuan and Bai Qianqian agreed to enter together and signed a treasure-sharing contract.

• Su Yuxuan chose to suppress her cultivation and seek treasures in the Blood Devil Secret Realm, knowing it held Bloodline Fruits and at least three Immortal Artifacts.

• Su Yuxuan and Bai Qianqian arranged when and where to meet and signed a contract to divide the treasures.

• Su Yuxuan and Bai Qianqian waited for the rift at Blood Devil Ridge to open, then entered the Blood Devil Secret Realm.
• Mei Kong emerged from the rift with his Immeasurable Bell damaged by a spatial current.

• Su Yuxuan fled, and Bai Qianqian followed after hearing Su Yuxuan mention Liu Yi.
• After they escaped, Su Yuxuan confirmed that the system’s Spatial Teleportation still worked and urged Bai Qianqian to leave the secret realm.

• Liang Junchi and Zhou Chen regrouped with the remaining Devil Cultivators, lamented their losses, and set out to seek the Blood Devil Cultivation Method and rumored immortal artifacts.
• Liang Junchi’s group followed a mysterious call to eight peaks and discovered a sealing formation containing two swords, a saber, and a bronze mirror.
• A voice spoke from beneath the formation, saying it had awaited successors of the Blood Devil Cultivation Method, and Liang Junchi cautiously asked who it was.

The Blood Devil persuaded Liang Junchi and his companions to feed Blood Beasts into his seal so he could escape and promised them cultivation secrets and rewards. After three months of suffering Mei Kong’s bad luck, Su Yuxuan feared he had released the Blood Devil and messaged Bai Qianqian to ask whether her own bad luck had ended.

• The Blood Devil revealed that the righteous and demonic paths had joined forces to seal him and offered Liang Junchi and his companions future cultivation stages, elder positions, and Immortal Artifacts in exchange for Blood Beasts.
• Liang Junchi and his companions agreed, captured more than two hundred Blood Beasts, and threw them into the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Four Symbols Devil-Suppressing Formation.

• After three months of misfortune in the Portable Daoist Sanctum, Su Yuxuan suspected Mei Kong had released the Blood Devil and worried about Bai Qianqian.
• Su Yuxuan opened Microchat and asked Bai Qianqian whether her bad luck had dissipated.

• Bai Qianqian told Su Yuxuan that her misfortune had ended, and the two set out together to search for treasure cautiously.
• Mei Kong complained that bad luck had kept him from finding treasure and decided to seek out Bai Qianqian and Su Yuxuan as companions.
• After three days of searching, Mei Kong encountered Yang Jingxing and asked him to team up.
• Yang Jingxing recognized Mei Kong and fled, fearing his misfortune, while Mei Kong pursued him and insisted he meant no harm.
• Mei Kong threatened to stop Yang Jingxing by force, then shouted, "Fellow Daoist, Please Stay!"

Mei Kong stopped Yang Jingxing repeatedly with his new Law Technique and persuaded him to team up in the Blood Devil Secret Realm by promising him a Fairness System Seed. After they swore Heavenly Dao Oaths to cooperate and split treasures evenly, Yang Jingxing demanded the promised Seed.

• Mei Kong repeatedly used “Fellow Daoist, Please Stay” to halt Yang Jingxing as he tried to flee.
• Yang Jingxing cursed Mei Kong and prepared to fight, but stopped when Mei Kong claimed he could temporarily suppress his bad luck.
