Kong Wenxuan’s army was suppressed by the Peacock Demon-Summoning Banner’s Seven-Colored Demon Light, but the forces united their True Spirit Star imprints to summon Five-Colored Starlight and counter it. With their strength restored, they launched a renewed assault and slaughtered the regrouped demons, while a Fourth Tier Peacock Demon escaped into Spirit Taming Pass.

• The Demon-Summoning Banner’s Seven-Colored Demon Light weakened Kong Wenxuan’s army and strengthened the Peacock Demon Race, turning the battlefield’s momentum against the Kong Household forces.

• A Fourth Tier Peacock Demon escaped Kong Yushuo’s Sword Light Sea of Fire and fled into Spirit Taming Pass.

Kong Wenxuan and the True Spirit Lineages fought their way into the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven while the Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram overwhelmed the Demon Race’s starry sky. After more than ten days, the Diagram occupied half the sky, and the Peacock True Spirit Star’s power returned to Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household’s army.

• The Fourth Tier Peacock Demon strengthened the Demon-Summoning Banner’s projection and sent Fourth Tier Demon Beasts and demon birds out to stall Kong Wenxuan’s counterattack at Spirit Taming Pass.

• After more than ten days, the Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram occupied half the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven’s sky, and the Peacock True Spirit Star’s power returned to Kong Wenxuan and his army.

The True Spirit Stars’ starlight reached the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven, restoring and strengthening the three commanderies’ forces as they routed the demons outside Spirit Taming Pass. Their pursuit stalled when the demons took shelter behind the pass’s powerful defenses, leaving Kong Wenxuan’s army facing the challenge of breaking through.

• The Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram projected the True Spirit Stars’ power into the grotto-heaven, and starlight restored the cultivators and Dao soldiers of the True Spirit Lineages.
• The Bi, Geng, and Huo Households led the three commanderies’ armies in an all-out assault, with Low-Grade True Spirit Lineages and servant-cultivator forces following.

• The demons regrouped behind Spirit Taming Pass’s defenses, while Kong Wenxuan and the three commanderies’ forces attacked the barrier without managing to break it.
• The Geng Household’s Sixth Tier Qinggeng Warship shielded the attacking forces from most of the pass’s attacks, but other demonic assaults still damaged their boats, chariots, and battle formations.

The allied forces of the three commanderies fought the demons at Spirit Taming Pass, where a Qinggeng Geng Household Nascent Soul True Lord killed a Fifth-Tier Qinggeng demon bird. After half a day of attacks failed to break the pass’s defenses, both sides paused to recover while battles continued elsewhere in the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.

• A Qinggeng Geng Household Nascent Soul True Lord slew a Fifth-Tier Qinggeng demon bird, and its uncontrolled Origin caused widespread fall phenomena across the battlefield.
• Kong Wenxuan and Kong Yushuo stored the Peacock Demon corpses they had killed, seeing them as materials for Fourth-Tier Peacock Cloud Boats that could strengthen the Kong Household.
• After the Qinggeng demon fell, the Fifth- and Sixth-Tier demons withdrew behind Spirit Taming Pass’s defenses, and the allied forces intensified their assault.
• The three commanderies’ forces attacked Spirit Taming Pass for half a day but could not break its formations, so the Bi Household’s Divine Lord ordered a temporary halt.
• Both sides rested and repaired their defenses while the two starry skies continued clashing above the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.

After the first battle at Spirit Taming Pass, the Kong Household tallied heavy casualties, many caused by the Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race’s Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique. Kong Wenxuan proposed seeking the demon race’s bloodline inheritance to restore and expand the neglected Peacock Soul-Bewitching Scripture.

• Kong Wenzhang reported the Kong Household’s recovered demon corpses and the dead and injured among its disciples, Dao Soldiers, and servant-cultivator troops.
• Kong Yushuo learned that more than half the casualties came from allies trapped in an illusion and killing one another.
• Kong Yushuo and Kong Wenzhang discussed making Soul-Bewitching Illusion Techniques part of the Kong Household’s required training, but worried the existing inheritance ended at the Third Tier.
• Kong Wenxuan suggested that the Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race held the complete inheritance and that the Kong Household could obtain it by searching their lair or capturing them.

Kong Wenxuan arranged for the wounded and fallen to return through the reopened rift while fresh forces rotated into the battlefield. The three counties’ army grew stronger, but the Demon Race also reinforced Spirit Taming Pass, where its Yao Qi thickened beyond its pre-battle strength.

• Kong Wenxuan ordered Kong Wenzhang to send the wounded, fallen, and spoils back through the rift, request reinforcements, and compensate the servant cultivator lineages.

The three commanderies resumed their assault on Spirit Taming Pass after both sides reinforced their forces. As Bifang and Huodou armies drew the pass’s attacks, the Geng Household revealed its formation-breaking trump card aboard a Qinggeng Warship.

Kong Wenxuan and the armies of Bifang and Huodou Commanderies tried to protect the Qinggeng Commandery army and its Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation as Spirit Taming Pass redirected its attacks at them. The defenses began to crumble, and Golden Core True Persons fell as Kong Wenxuan focused on keeping himself and the Peacock County army alive.

• The Demon Race in Spirit Taming Pass redirected its attacks toward the Qinggeng Commandery army and the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation.
• The Bi and Huo Households led their armies in intercepting the attacks, forcing Kong Wenxuan and Kong Yushuo to join the Peacock County army's defense.

• A Golden Core True Person from a Seventh-Grade True Spirit Lineage in Huodou Commandery was killed, and more Golden Core True Persons began to fall.
• As attacks aimed at him grew stronger and more numerous, Kong Wenxuan concentrated on defending himself and the Peacock County army.

Under relentless attacks from Spirit Taming Pass, Kong Wenxuan merged One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws with the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation, creating a powerful but unstable defense. The Qinggeng Commandery army and its True Spirit Stars entered the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation, completing its transformation into the Ten Thousand Trees Boundless Origin-Securing Grand Formation and freeing Kong Wenxuan’s forces from the desperate defense.

• Kong Wenxuan pushed the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation to its limit while shielding the Peacock County army from attacks out of Spirit Taming Pass.
• Under the pressure, Kong Wenxuan merged One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws with the sword formation, creating a Sword-Light Five Elements Heaven and Earth that blocked and absorbed attacks.
• Seeing Kong Wenxuan’s defenses hold, the Bi Household cultivators sent more attacks his way, forcing him to shrink the unstable formation as the Peacock County army suffered renewed casualties.
• The Qinggeng Geng Household led the Qinggeng Commandery army into the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation, while the commandery’s True Spirit Stars joined the formation.
• The formation became the Ten Thousand Trees Boundless Origin-Securing Grand Formation, allowing it to confront Spirit Taming Pass and ending the Bifang and Huodou armies’ desperate defense.

The Qinggeng Commandery army completed the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation, whose regenerating Spirit Plant Forest eroded Spirit Taming Pass’s defenses. After recovering and assessing their losses, Kong Wenxuan watched as the forest shattered the pass’s Sixth Tier demon formation, leaving the defensive line breached.

• The Qinggeng Commandery army’s Spirit Plant Forest withstood Spirit Taming Pass’s attacks and began spreading across its defenses.
• The Bi Household cultivator urged the armies to regroup, recover, and prepare to attack again, while the Bifang and Huodou forces tended their wounded and gathered their dead.

Kong Wenxuan led the Peacock County army to the Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race’s lair in Spirit Taming Pass, where a Fourth Tier peacock controlled an army with its Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique. The bewitched creatures’ self-destruction shattered Kong Wenxuan’s Great Five Elements Sword Formation, broke the Yellow Earth Divine Sword, and wounded him.

• The Bi, Geng, and Huo Households split the three commandery armies across Spirit Taming Pass, with Kong Wenxuan following the Bi Household along the left flank.
• Kong Wenxuan led the Peacock County army to a bamboo-covered hill where a Fourth Tier Seven-Colored Peacock stood atop Seven-Colored Spirit Bamboo.
• The Fourth Tier peacock used its Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique to control Demon Race members and Demon Beasts and send them charging at Kong Wenxuan’s army.
• Kong Wenxuan swept the attacking Fourth Tier beasts and birds into his Great Five Elements Sword Formation, but they self-destructed under the peacock’s control.
• The explosions shattered the sword formation, snapped the Yellow Earth Divine Sword, and caused Kong Wenxuan to spit blood.

Kong Wenxuan survived the Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race’s Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique and counterattacked, hoping to capture the Fourth Tier peacock. The Seven-Colored Bamboo Forest revealed itself as a demon formation that trapped his sword, showing him that plants could become demons in the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.

• Kong Wenxuan was gravely wounded when the Fourth Tier Seven-Colored Peacock used its illusion technique to make several Fourth Tier Demon Beasts self-destruct.
• Kong Wenxuan resolved to capture the peacock to learn its Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique, but the peacock tried to control him with its seven-colored light.
• The Peacock True Spirit Star projection protected Kong Wenxuan’s Purple Mansion and destroyed the peacock’s illusion.
• Kong Wenxuan stabilized himself with Five-Colored Starlight, withdrew his broken Yellow Earth Divine Sword, and sent his remaining four swords to attack.
• The Seven-Colored Bamboo Forest came alive as a demon formation and trapped the Crimson Fire Divine Sword before it could reach the peacock.
• Kong Wenxuan recognized that the bamboo forest was made of demon plants and understood that the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven’s demonic environment allowed plants to become demons.

Kong Wenxuan’s Crimson Fire Divine Sword was trapped by the Demon Bamboo Great Formation as bewitched demons and beasts used desperate attacks and self-destructions to devastate the Peacock County army. He redirected his divine swords to slaughter the attackers, prompting the Seven-Colored Peacocks to send the entire Demon Bamboo Forest lunging at him.

• The Demon Bamboo Great Formation stopped Kong Wenxuan’s Crimson Fire Divine Sword and exhausted its force with endless layers of demon bamboo.
• Bewitched demons and beasts charged the Peacock County army and repeatedly self-destructed, breaking its formations, destroying flying boats, and injuring or killing its fighters, including Kong Wenxuan.
• Kong Wenxuan used his trapped sword to clash with the demon bamboo and swept his other three divine swords through the attackers to kill them before they could self-destruct.
• The Seven-Colored Peacocks made the Demon Bamboo Forest shift and lunge at Kong Wenxuan like a huge living creature.

Kong Wenxuan charged into the demon bamboo forest to reach the trapped Crimson Fire Divine Sword and found the forest easier to break from within. After restoring the Yellow Earth Divine Sword with Treasure Qi, he formed a Great Five Elements Sword Formation that tore apart the demon array and exposed the Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race member controlling it.

• Kong Wenxuan drove the sword light from his three divine swords through the demon bamboo forest and into the Sword Light Sea of Fire surrounding the Crimson Fire Divine Sword.
• The Fourth Tier Seven-Colored Peacock Demon Race member ordered the demon bamboo forest to attack Kong Wenxuan from every side.
• Kong Wenxuan summoned the restored Yellow Earth Divine Sword, which Treasure Qi had helped him repair, and arranged the Five Elements Divine Swords into a Great Five Elements Sword Formation.
• Kong Wenxuan used the sword formation to resist the demon array and destroy the demon bamboos, exposing the Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo and the Fourth Tier Peacock Demon Race member atop it.
• Kong Wenxuan drove the sword formation toward the Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo and its controller.

Kong Wenxuan fought the Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock Demon while two Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo plants absorbed the forest’s power and reached the peak of the Fourth Tier. With Kong Yushuo’s help, Kong Wenxuan turned the battle around and suppressed the demon, leaving him trapped within the Sword-Light Five Elements Heaven and Earth.

• The Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock Demon unleashed elemental attacks and caused the remaining demon bamboo to feed two Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo plants until they reached the peak of the Fourth Tier.
• The two Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo plants and the Peacock Demon battered Kong Wenxuan’s Great Five Elements Sword Formation, while summoned demons and Demon Beasts self-destructed against it and damaged the Yellow Earth Divine Sword.

• Kong Wenxuan changed to the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation and transformed it into Sword-Light Five Elements Heaven and Earth to overwhelm the Peacock Demon.
• When the Peacock Demon tried to flee, Kong Wenxuan used the Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique to make him hesitate, then engulfed and suppressed him within the sword formation.

Kong Wenxuan captured the gravely wounded Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock and planned to use a Bloodthirsty Bloodline-Seizing Formation to obtain its Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique inheritance. The battle at Spirit Taming Pass continued, with Kong Yushuo struggling to hold off one peak Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo and another attacking Kong Wenxuan's formation.

• Kong Wenxuan used the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation to wear down the Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock until it could no longer resist.
• Kong Wenxuan activated a Fourth-Tier Vermilion Bird Command and drew the dying Peacock inside to keep it captive.
• Kong Wenxuan considered soul-searching as an inferior way to obtain the Peacock's inheritance and planned instead to use the Kong Household's Bloodthirsty Bloodline-Seizing Formation with the Peacock True Spirit Star and his own bloodline.
• Kong Yushuo reached his limit while holding off a peak Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo, while another attacked Kong Wenxuan's formation.
• The Peacock County army gained temporary relief as the captured Peacock's Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique stopped controlling many Demon Race members and Demon Beasts, which came to their senses and fled.

After capturing the Fourth Tier Seven-Colored Peacock, Kong Wenxuan took advantage of the weakened Seven-Colored Demon Bamboos, while Kong Yushuo helped Peacock County’s army subdue the remaining enemies. The fighting shifted toward clearing the battlefield and capturing useful Peacock Demons and Demon Beasts.

• The fleeing low-tier demons and Demon Beasts left after Kong Wenxuan captured the Fourth Tier Seven-Colored Peacock, and the two Seven-Colored Demon Bamboos began losing their strength.
• Kong Wenxuan killed the weakened Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo with his sword formation and collected its stalks, roots, and seven-colored liquid as demonic materials.
• Kong Wenxuan joined Kong Yushuo’s fight against the other Seven-Colored Demon Bamboo, and Kong Yushuo withdrew to aid Peacock County’s army.
• Kong Yushuo killed or captured groups of low-tier demons and Demon Beasts, capturing Seven-Colored Peacock Demons and Peacock Demon Beasts for their bloodlines and use as spirit birds.

Kong Wenxuan surveyed the battle at Spirit Taming Pass and saw the three commanderies gaining the upper hand, but the Fire Crow County army was being overwhelmed by Fire Crow demons and their earth-fire spirits. He intervened to rescue Ya Zhaoying, who asked him to spare the wounded demon so the Ya Household could capture it and claim its bloodline inheritance.

• Kong Wenxuan saw that the three commanderies were winning overall and trying to kill as many Fifth- and Sixth-Tier demons as possible, though some local battles were turning against them.
• Kong Wenxuan noticed the Fire Crow County army suffering heavy losses at the Fire Crow Demon Race's volcanic encampment, where earth-fire spirits attacked and self-destructed.
• Kong Wenxuan confirmed that the Fire Crow Ya Household was holding back to capture demons and study their bloodline inheritance, contributing to its army's retreat.
• Kong Wenxuan left the Peacock County battlefield and used the Five Elements Divine Swords to sever a wing from the Fourth-Tier Fire Crow demon that was overpowering Ya Zhaoying.
• Ya Zhaoying asked Kong Wenxuan not to kill the demon because the Ya Household wanted to capture it alive and obtain its bloodline inheritance.

Kong Wenxuan used his sword formation to help the Ya Household and neighboring forces defeat Fourth Tier enemies across Spirit Taming Pass. A Sixth Tier Qinggeng Demon Race member was then slain, and the resulting blast sent green vitality surging through the battlefield and disrupted the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation.

• Kong Wenxuan blocked the Fire Crow Demon Spirits with his Sword Light Mountains and Rivers, then protected himself with the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation after the spirits detonated and shattered the unstable swords.
• Kong Wenxuan helped Ya Zhaoying suppress a wounded Fourth Tier Fire Crow Demon Race member and helped True Person Ya Xinghe kill one Fourth Tier Fire Crow Demon Beast and capture another.
• Kong Wenxuan left the Fire Crow County battlefield and assisted neighboring armies by attacking Fourth Tier Demon Race members and Demon Beasts.
• A desperate screech and explosion sent Kong Wenxuan and others tumbling across Spirit Taming Pass as green lights spread through the battlefield.
• The green lights caused plants to grow wildly and destabilized the Myriad Trees Arrayed Grand Formation, while the Qinggeng Geng Household's Spirit Transformation Divine Lord held the corpse of a slain Sixth Tier Qinggeng Demon Race member.

After the Qinggeng great demon fell, its distorted Wood Principle threw Spirit Taming Pass into chaos and sent the Demon Race fleeing. The fleeing demon forces triggered a blood-fueled trap beneath the pass, killing a Geng Household Nascent Soul True Lord before the Geng Household Divine Lord struck back.

• The Qinggeng great demon's fall twisted the battlefield's Principles, disrupted formations, and prompted the remaining Demon Race forces to retreat.
• The three Households' cultivators pursued the fleeing demons after their leaders ordered a counterattack.
• A demonic formation beneath Spirit Taming Pass consumed the blood on the battlefield and unleashed blood-colored lightning, wind, and fire, devastating the pass and its defenders.
• Kong Wenxuan used the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation to shield himself and the Peacock County army, though many cultivators and Dao Soldiers were still killed or gravely wounded.
• A blood-light headless Qinggeng bird detonated beside a Geng Household Nascent Soul True Lord, killing him.
• The Geng Household Divine Lord struck Spirit Taming Pass with his palm, scattering the bloodlight, demonic attacks, and twisted vegetation.

After the Geng Household Divine Lord stopped the Demon Race’s traps and attacks, the three counties’ forces secured Spirit Taming Pass and began repairing it. Kong Wenxuan reconsidered the cost of the campaign, while scouts reported that the defeated Demon Race was struggling to gather reinforcements because its forces were stretched across the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven.

• The Geng Household Divine Lord suppressed the chaos at Spirit Taming Pass, ending the three counties’ assault in victory.
• Kong Wenxuan recalled and repaired his Five Elements Divine Swords, healed his injuries, and realized the campaign might become a brutal war rather than an easy plunder.
• The cultivators rescued the wounded, collected the dead, counted casualties, and began rebuilding Spirit Taming Pass as a forward base.
• Scouts reported that the defeated Demon Race had fled more than a thousand li away and was failing to gather many reinforcements.
• Kong Wenxuan concluded that the Demon Race’s forces were stretched thin across the wider war, giving the three counties’ army a chance to recover and advance.

After the battle at Spirit Taming Pass, Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household seized the bloodline inheritance of a Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock Demon. Kong Wenxuan gained a Fourth-Tier Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique and prepared to use it to strengthen the Lineage’s inheritance ahead of future battles.

• Kong Wenxuan and Kong Changgeng held a funeral for the Kong Household disciples killed at Spirit Taming Pass and placed their spirit tablets in the ancestral hall.
• Kong Wenxuan brought the captured Fourth-Tier Seven-Colored Peacock Demon to Longevity Mountain, where Kong Changgeng used the Bloodthirsty Bloodline-Seizing Grand Formation to restrain it.
• Kong Wenxuan invoked the Peacock True Spirit Star, his county magistrate’s seal, his Peacock bloodline, and the Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram to extract the demon’s bloodline inheritance.
• The Seven-Colored Peacock inheritance merged into the Peacock True Spirit Star, and Kong Wenxuan obtained a Fourth-Tier Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique and control over seven elemental attributes.
• Kong Wenxuan tested the illusion technique on the wounded demon, controlling it to unleash elemental and demonic attacks, and recognized that the technique could supplement the Kong Household’s Peacock Soul-Bewitching Scripture.

Kong Changgeng tested the newly inherited Fourth Tier Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique and decided the Lineage should teach it to more bloodline-awakened disciples to help them survive the counterattack. Kong Wenxuan proposed having the Bi Household forge Fourth Tier Peacock Cloud Boats from the captured demon corpses, and the chapter ended with a Bi Household shipwright accepting the order.

• Kong Changgeng learned the Fourth Tier Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique from the Peacock True Spirit Star and used it to make a Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast dance.
• Kong Changgeng urged the Lineage to revive training in the Soul-Bewitching Illusion Technique after nearly five hundred disciples had fallen in the counterattack.

• Kong Wenxuan contacted True Person Bi Yanshu, while Kong Changlan and Kong Wenjun also approached their connections.
• Three days later, the Kong Household learned that a Fourth Tier shipwright from the Bi Household had agreed to forge Fourth Tier Peacock Cloud Boats.

Kong Wenxuan escorted Kong Yuyan to Bifang Commandery City, then used Starlight Teleportation to reach Dangkang Commandery and enter its grand formation to refine the Yellow Earth Divine Sword. The chapter left him beginning his cultivation in an earth-element spirit land while Kong Changlan returned to the Lineage to attempt a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Stage.

• Kong Wenxuan took Kong Yuyan and the Peacock Cloud Boat materials to Bifang Commandery City, where they thanked the Bi Household for helping build the boat.
