Aboard the Bifang Cloud Boat bound for Qinggeng Commandery, Bi Yanhong explained how the Geng Household’s formation protected the commandery’s Origin Fragments and why the invasion had lasted for years. Kong Wenxuan and the allied households traveled to join a major campaign against the invaders, while he hoped the battlefield would restore his cultivators’ confidence in pursuing breakthroughs.

• Bi Yanhong explained that the Geng Household had used spirit trees across Qinggeng Commandery to anchor a formation that protected its Origin Fragments.

• Kong Wenxuan considered why the Jiao and Ya Households had joined the campaign, noting their ambitions to advance their cultivation and lineages.
• True Person Bi Yanhong warned the cultivators that they were nearing the battlefield and ordered them to prepare for an attack.

• Kong Wenxuan used his Azure Wood Divine Sword and Crimson Fire Divine Sword to kill several Third-Tier enemies.
• True Person Bi Yanhong ordered the expedition to proceed into Qinggeng Commandery and inspect Spotted Ferret County.

Kong Wenxuan and his companions reached Spotted Ferret County Seat to aid the Hua Household, whose Red Pine Spirit Tree and formation remained intact. The enemy sent an army to stop the reinforcements, and True Person Bi Yanhong led the counterattack with the Bifang Cloud Boat’s Calamity Fire.

• Kong Wenxuan and his companions flew through Spotted Ferret County, striking down Demon Beasts and demonic birds as they headed for the county seat.
• Kong Wenxuan saw that the towering Red Pine Spirit Tree, the county’s formation foundation and eye, still stood above the Hua Household’s ancestral grounds.
• True Person Bi Yanhong and the others sent out their households’ Starlight True Spirit manifestations to signal their arrival, and the Hua Household answered with the Spotted Ferret True Spirit.
• The Demon Race and invading martial cultivators intensified their siege and sent Demon Beasts, demonic birds, and fighters to block the approaching reinforcements.
• True Person Bi Yanhong ordered the others to attack, and the Bifang Cloud Boat unleashed a tide of three-colored Calamity Fire that burned many charging Demon Beasts and demonic birds to ashes.

Kong Wenxuan led his Lineage onto the battlefield, where his Five Elements Divine Swords overwhelmed enemies below the Fourth Tier while he searched for a fight that could temper him. He turned toward the Golden Core battle above Spotted Ferret County Seat and fixed his gaze on a gravely wounded Fourth Tier Demon Beast.

• Ya Zhaoying, Jiao Jing'en, and Kong Wenxuan led their households and Lineage away from the Bifang Cloud Boat to join the battlefield.
• Kong Wenxuan ordered Kong Yuluo and Kong Yuchui to direct the formations and told his relatives to rely on themselves as they sought battlefield experience.

• Kong Wenxuan surveyed the Golden Core battle above Spotted Ferret County Seat, where Hua Household cultivators used Giant Transformation to fight Fourth Tier enemies.
• Bi Yanhong and Ya Zhaoying joined the battle and unleashed Calamity Fire and Yang Fire, and Kong Wenxuan watched a gravely wounded Fourth Tier Demon Beast fall from the sky.

Kong Wenxuan challenged a grievously wounded Fourth Tier azure wolf Demon Beast to test his strength and found that his Great Five Elements Sword Formation could withstand its remaining control over heaven and earth. After his sword attacks broke through the beast’s tornado, its Demon Core emerged and unleashed an even greater tornado at him.

• Kong Wenxuan left the Five-Colored Peacock Feather Boat and charged toward the wounded azure wolf, leaving Fifth Uncle Kong Yuluo to defend the boat.
• The azure wolf summoned a gale infused with the power of heaven and earth, but Kong Wenxuan’s Great Five Elements Sword Formation endured until the gale dispersed.
• Kong Wenxuan restored his strength with pills and attacked the beast with successive Great Five Elements Destruction Sword Lights, breaking apart its protective tornado.
• The azure wolf revealed its Demon Core, which shattered Kong Wenxuan’s final sword light and formed a larger tornado that surged toward him.

Kong Wenxuan fought the grievously injured Fourth Tier azure wolf Demon Beast, using its deadly Demon Core storms to temper his sword techniques. As he drew on his earlier insights into sword cultivators’ methods, he found openings within the tornado storm and began dismantling it from the inside.

• The azure wolf’s Demon Core unleashed a tornado storm that shattered Kong Wenxuan’s Great Five Elements Sword Formation, but his defensive artifacts blocked the storm’s remaining force.
• Kong Wenxuan rebuilt the formation and continued attacking while the injured beast used its cracked Demon Core to raise more storms; Ya Zhaoying, Bi Yanhong, and the others kept outside fighters away.
• Through repeated clashes, Kong Wenxuan increased the number of sword lights produced by Sword Light Differentiation and raised his Sword Qi Thunderclap speed from three to five times the speed of sound.
• Kong Wenxuan’s formation grew strong enough to withstand the storms, and his sword techniques began striking their angles and paths with greater precision.
• Kong Wenxuan guided his sword lights through gaps between the storm’s winds, severing their connections and causing more than half of the tornado storm to disintegrate from within.

Kong Wenxuan mastered a sword cultivator technique for slipping attacks through gaps and used it to dismantle the wounded Fourth Tier green wolf Demon Beast’s tornado storm and damage its Demon Core. He shattered the core, leaving the beast badly injured and its Yao Qi erupting uncontrollably.

• Kong Wenxuan used his newly mastered technique to find flaws in the green wolf’s tornado storm and destroy it from within.
• The green wolf’s Demon Core smashed Kong Wenxuan’s sword light, but he replenished his strength and continued attacking to hone his technique.
• Kong Wenxuan repeatedly dismantled the tornado storm and began finding cracks in the already damaged Demon Core.
• Kong Wenxuan sent sword light through the core’s cracks, widening them and triggering a backlash that worsened the green wolf’s injuries.
• Kong Wenxuan continued striking until the Demon Core shattered into pieces and uncontrolled Yao Qi burst outward.

Kong Wenxuan survived the Azure Wolf Demon Beast’s Demon Core explosion but could not finish off the beast before Ya Zhaoying killed it with her Fire Crow Clones. He then swept through Third Tier enemies as the battle for Spotted Ferret County Seat turned against the attackers, who fled after their Fourth Tier forces fell.

• Kong Wenxuan shattered the Azure Wolf Demon Beast’s Demon Core, endured its explosion, and was seriously injured as the beast escaped with half its core.

• Bifang Commandery reinforcements and Golden Core True Persons including Ya Zhaoying and Bi Yanhong overwhelmed the attackers, killing several Fourth Tier enemies.

After the invaders were driven from Spotted Ferret County, Kong Wenxuan attended the Hua Household’s victory banquet and sampled its body-strengthening Red Pine Nuts. The celebration ended with the fall of the Azure Sparrow True Spirit Star, signaling that something had happened to the Qin Household of Azure Sparrow County.

• The defenders pursued the retreating Demon Race members, demon-blood cultivators, and martial cultivators for over ten days, killing many before the survivors escaped Spotted Ferret County.
• The Hua Household held a victory banquet to thank its allies, reward its cultivators, and restore morale after the county’s devastation and heavy losses.
• Kong Wenxuan attended with his fellow Lineage members after arranging for their wounded and fallen, and he ate Red Pine Nuts that strengthened the body.
• A mournful bird cry interrupted the banquet as the Azure Sparrow True Spirit Star appeared, shattered, and fell from the sky.
• The Hua Household patriarch recognized the star and warned that something had happened to the Qin Household of Azure Sparrow County.

After Azure Sparrow County fell and its True Spirit Star was destroyed, the damage spread through the Myriad Trees Arrayed grand formation to Spotted Ferret County. Qinggeng Commandery summoned Spotted Ferret County and its Bifang Commandery reinforcements to march in three days and retake Azure Sparrow County.

• Kong Wenxuan and the people in Spotted Ferret County watched the Azure Sparrow True Spirit Star fall after the county and the Qin Household were devastated.
• The destruction of Azure Sparrow County’s Azure Mulberry formation node damaged Spotted Ferret County’s Red Pine spirit tree and shook its Thousand Trees Arrayed formation.
• The Hua Household patriarch activated the Magistrate’s Official Seal and stabilized Spotted Ferret County’s formation against the backlash.
• The Qinggeng Geng Household sent a message through the Qinggeng True Spirit Star, and the Hua Household patriarch announced Qinggeng Commandery’s summons to aid Azure Sparrow County in three days.
• True Person Bi Yanhong, Ya Zhaoying, Kong Wenxuan, Jiao Jing'en, and the other Bifang Commandery leaders agreed to join the expedition after hearing of the promised double merits and rewards.

Kong Wenxuan and the reinforcements discovered that wood-element cultivators from Jumang True Martial Hall had drained Azure Sparrow County’s forests, likely to undermine Qinggeng Commandery’s protective formation and steal its Origin Fragment. They reached the ruined county seat, where a green True Martial Form was absorbing the collected life force above a withered Azure Mulberry.

• True Person Bi Yanhong observed that an overwhelming power had drained the life from the plants and forests across Azure Sparrow County.
• The Hua Household patriarch identified the invaders as wood-element cultivators from Jumang True Martial Hall and suspected they were targeting the Ten Thousand Trees Boundless Origin-Securing Grand Formation.
• The Hua Household patriarch urged the Bifang Commandery reinforcements to hurry to Azure Sparrow County Seat, and True Person Bi Yanhong ordered the Bifang Cloud Boat to fly faster.
• Kong Wenxuan and the others arrived at the ruined county seat and saw an immense mass of azure life force above a withered forest and Azure Mulberry.
• A green True Martial Form with a bird’s face, human body, and two dragons beneath its feet absorbed the azure light above the ruins.

Kong Wenxuan and the Bifang Commandery force joined forces from Spotted Ferret County and Crested Ibis County to attack Azure Sparrow County City from the north. As four commandery forces surrounded the city, the Qinggeng True Spirit struck the azure protective light.

• True Person Bi Yanhong attended a war council and agreed to divide the four commandery forces among four directions for a simultaneous assault.
• True Person Bi Yanhong chose the forces from Spotted Ferret County and Crested Ibis County to accompany the Bifang Commandery force.
• Kong Wenxuan and the others learned that the Crested Ibis Huan Household used its Vermilion Beak bloodline ability to forge Vermilion Beak Swords and trained exclusively as sword cultivators.
• The Bifang Commandery force and its two allied county forces prepared to attack from the north as the forces from all four commanderies surrounded Azure Sparrow County City.
• The Demon Race and martial cultivators held their ground beneath the azure light, apparently relying on its protection while the forces outside prepared to attack.
• The Fifth-Grade Qinggeng True Spirit Star appeared, and the Qinggeng True Spirit sent blue-white starlight crashing into the azure light.

Kong Wenxuan joined the assault on the ruins of the Azure Sparrow County Seat and observed how the True Spirit Lineages fought. Qinggeng Commandery’s healing support drove its forces close to the Jumang True Martial Hall as the battle continued.

• Kong Wenxuan led the Kong Household into battle behind the Bi Household, sweeping aside enemies with his Five Elements Divine Swords.
• Kong Wenxuan watched the Hua Household use Giant Transformation to amplify its bodies, Law Power, and Spiritual Consciousness.
• Kong Wenxuan judged the Huan Household’s Vermilion Beak Twin Swords and sword inheritance inferior to the Kong Household’s Five Elements Divine Swords.
• Kong Wenxuan observed that Qinggeng Geng Household cultivators healed and restored their allies with azure light rather than relying on exceptional combat abilities.
• Qinggeng Commandery’s forces fought with few reservations and nearly reached the Jumang True Martial Hall, aided by the Geng Household’s healing.

The four commanderies' forces battled through the ruins of Azure Sparrow County Seat, with the Zhuyan and Huodou contingents advancing fastest toward the Jumang True Martial Hall. Concerned that Bifang Commandery was falling behind in the contest, True Person Bi Yanhong ordered Kong Wenxuan to lead an arrowhead assault.

• The Zhuyan Yan Household led Zhuyan Commandery's fighters through the city and reached the Jumang True Martial Hall, using their battle-focused bloodline abilities to kill efficiently.
• The Huodou Huo Household's fire-wielding forces swept in from the south, burning enemies and advancing almost as quickly as Zhuyan Commandery.
• The Bifang contingent lagged behind Qinggeng, Zhuyan, and Huodou, putting its standing and influence in the contest at risk.
• True Person Bi Yanhong summoned Kong Wenxuan and tasked him with leading Third-Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators in a frontline arrowhead assault.
• Bi Yanhong, Ya Zhaoying, the Hua Household patriarch, and the other Golden Core True Persons prepared to advance through the battlefield in the sky.

Kong Wenxuan led the Bifang Commandery forces through the enemy defenses, but slowed down after the Jumang True Martial Hall transported the battlefield into the Azure Sparrow Secret Realm. The Jumang True Martial statue attacked the Azure Mulberry spirit tree, and its unleashed power began draining the vitality of the cultivators in the realm.

• Kong Wenxuan led the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators of several households through the enemy defenses and reached the ruins near the Jumang True Martial Hall.
• The Zhuyan Commandery forces, led by the Yan Household, breached the hall first and charged inside.
• The Jumang True Martial statue sent green light across the battlefield, transporting the cultivators into a secret realm world centered on the Azure Mulberry spirit tree.
• Kong Wenxuan recognized that the Jumang True Martial statue was refining the tree and held back, wary of the hall’s purpose.
• The Zhuyan Commandery forces reached the tree and attacked the statue, but its branches killed cultivators and green light drained their vitality.
• The Azure Mulberry spirit tree unleashed green light across the secret realm, killing cultivators from the various households by draining their vitality.

The invaders used the Jumang True Martial idol and Azure Mulberry spirit tree to counter the Qinggeng Bloodline Divine Ability and activate a formation linking the secret realms of all thirteen counties. The formation drew the Qinggeng Geng Household’s blessed land into the emerging net, leaving the invaders poised to ensnare the entire commandery.

• The Azure Mulberry spirit tree’s azure light plundered cultivators’ life force until the Geng Household called down the Qinggeng True Spirit Star’s healing starlight to dispel it.
• A martial cultivator among the invaders revealed they had been waiting for the Qinggeng True Spirit Star to descend, and the Jumang True Martial idol sent the accumulated azure light surging toward it.
• The azure light endured the Qinggeng starlight and climbed onto the star’s projection, staining it azure.
• The invaders traced the formation’s connections and drew out thirteen secret realms and their origin Spirit Plants, prompting cultivators to recognize the Ten Thousand Trees Boundless Origin-Securing Grand Formation.
• The formation pulled the Qinggeng Geng Household’s Qinggeng Blessed Land, with its towering Azure Wutong spirit tree, into the center of the thirteen realms.

The Geng Household activated the Ten Thousand Trees Boundless Origin-Securing Grand Formation after the Demon Race and martial cultivators used the Demon-Summoning Banner to invade the linked secret realms. Kong Wenxuan was transported into a vast forest of Spirit Plants, where the formation had gathered the forces from across Qinggeng Commandery.

• The Wind Wolf King sent the Demon-Summoning Banner's power from the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven into the linked secret realms, bringing invading armies with it.
• The Geng Household's leader reassured the allied cultivators that the invaders had fallen into the formation's trap.
• The Qinggeng True Spirit and Azure Wutong awakened the formation's nodes, causing Spirit Plants throughout the thirteen secret realms to glow with vitality.
• The Jumang martial cultivators tried to seize control of the Azure Mulberry spirit tree, but the fully activated grand formation swept through the realms.
• Kong Wenxuan was transported from the Azure Sparrow Secret Realm into a boundless forest filled with Spirit Plants from across Qinggeng Commandery.

The Geng Household activated the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation, trapping the invaders across Qinggeng Commandery in a forest world that healed and strengthened allied cultivators while suppressing their enemies. Kong Wenxuan easily slew the opponents sent to him but found them too weak to train against, so he demanded a greater challenge.

• The Geng Household leader told the gathered cultivators that the formation had moved the invaders into its forest world and asked them to kill the enemies trapped there.
• The formation's spiritual light healed Kong Wenxuan and strengthened the allied cultivators while weakening the Demon Race, Demon Beasts, martial cultivators, and other invaders.
• The invaders attacked the forest, but their assaults failed to damage the formation-created trees.
• The formation shifted the forest and divided the invaders into smaller groups, sending them to battlefields where Household cultivators held the advantage.
• Kong Wenxuan easily killed the Third Tier enemies sent against him with his Five Elements Divine Swords and called for the enemies to come in greater force.

Kong Wenxuan fought more than a hundred Third Tier enemies inside the Myriad Trees Arrayed formation, using the battle to sharpen his sword techniques and control of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation. He slew the entire force, which had been trapped by the Spirit Plant forest.

• Kong Wenxuan asked the Geng Household members to send more enemies into the formation and easily defeated the first groups with his Great Five Elements Sword Formation.
• The formation transported over a hundred Third Tier Demon Beasts, members of the Demon Race, demon-blood cultivators, and martial cultivators to surround him.
• As their combined attacks battered his sword formation, Kong Wenxuan improved his control and deepened his mastery of several sword-path techniques.
• Kong Wenxuan used Insert the Edgeless into the Gaps to break apart the enemies' coordinated attacks and slay nearly half of them.
• The surviving enemies fled, but the shifting Spirit Plant forest trapped them, and Kong Wenxuan killed them all.

Kong Wenxuan fought a steady stream of enemies inside the Myriad Trees Arrayed formation, using the support of a Geng Household cultivator to temper his sword formation and reach the limits of his current sword-path abilities. After he had slain nearly all the Third Tier invaders, the battle across the Spirit Plant forest began to quiet, with the bloodline cultivators appearing to be victorious.

• The Geng Household cultivator shifted increasing numbers of enemies toward Kong Wenxuan and healed him whenever his sword formation was broken or he was injured.
• Kong Wenxuan’s sword skills and sword-path insights improved rapidly as he fought, bringing his sword lights and techniques close to their current limits.
• Kong Wenxuan broke through a limit, reaching three hundred and sixty differentiated sword lights, nine times the speed of sound, and peak control of his other sword techniques.
• Third Tier enemies became rare as Kong Wenxuan slew nearly all of them, leaving mostly formations made from First and Second Tier foes.
• Kong Wenxuan reached the current peak of his sword formation and techniques, then turned his attention to the wider battlefield as the fighting diminished and the bloodline cultivators’ cries grew louder.
