• Qin Lu struck at the Dongli Ancestor with Soul Severing, disrupting the Dongli Bell before the ancestor sensed another deadly attack aimed at him.

After nearly seventy years leading the Qin Lineage, Qin Xiao decided it was time to choose a successor, but the capable candidates each had drawbacks. At the clan meeting, the elders removed Qin Mingyuan from consideration and rejected Xin'an because he was a concubine-born child, leaving the succession unresolved.

• Qin Xiao considered stepping down after overseeing the Lineage for nearly seventy years and reviewed the strengths and flaws of potential successors across the clan’s generations.

• Qin Zhao argued that Qin Mingyuan should focus on cultivating his Dao and developing his Acquired Spirit Physique, so the others agreed to exclude him.
• Qin Zhuang proposed Xin'an, but Qin Xiao rejected him because his birth as Mingdao’s son by a maidservant made him a child of a concubine.

Qin Mingyi was chosen as the Qin Clan’s third clan leader and formally took charge of its internal affairs. He organized clan resources, established cultivation-based stipends, and reestablished three halls to manage clan matters.

• Qin Mingyuan and the first Demon Hunting Team departed Qin Emperor Island aboard the Beichuan.
• Qin Zhao secretly sent Black Dragon to follow the ship, ordering it to protect the clan’s safety by killing everyone aboard if an irreversible crisis threatened to expose the Lineage.

After Qin Zhuang left Qin Zhao behind, the Beichuan sailed east toward a rich Demon Beast hunting ground. Qin Xinzhou, Qin Xin'an, and Qin Xinmu killed a Second-Tier Medium Grade whale beast, then began dividing up its valuable remains.

• Qin Zhuang calmly patted Qin Zhao on the shoulder and departed, leaving Qin Zhao watching the sea.

The chapter ended with the ship’s defenses and weapons activated as Qin Mingyuan and Qin Xinmu and Qin Xinzhou readied their techniques.

• The Beichuan continued east, and Qin Mingyuan’s expedition hunted demons, charted unknown waters, explored islands, and recorded their findings for the Qin Clan.
• Qin Xin'an and the other two defeated several devil cults and discovered that the Eight Immortals Sea’s devil-path methods were often crueler than those inland.

• Qin Xin'an took charge of the Beichuan as the crew activated its formations and cannons, while Qin Mingyuan, Qin Xinmu, and Qin Xinzhou prepared to attack.

Qin Mingyuan ambushed the sea raiders, subdued the Eight-Tailed Octopus Shark King, and pursued the survivors. He slaughtered most of them, while a Joyous Union Sect disciple begged him to spare her.

• Qin Mingyuan used his fire wyrm and cannons to ambush the raiders, and the deep-sea beasts killed two wounded cultivators as the others fled.

• A disciple of the Joyous Union Sect begged Qin Mingyuan to spare her, offering to do anything he wanted.

Qin Mingyuan forced A'nu to reveal why she had come to the Ten Thousand Reefs Sea Area and made her lead him to the Haitang Gel. After A'nu noticed the Beichuan’s foreign origins, the Qin Clan disguised the ship and continued deeper into the sea area, learning about major factions in the Eight Immortals Sea.

• A'nu told Qin Mingyuan that the Haitang Demon Plant secreted rare Haitang Gel and that she had diverted a school of Eight-Tailed Octopus Sharks toward him to escape them.
• Qin Mingyuan planted a restriction in A'nu’s soul and ordered her to lead him to the Haitang Gel aboard the Beichuan.
• A'nu recognized that the Beichuan and its crew were not from the Eight Immortals Sea, prompting Qin Mingyuan and his people to conceal their distinctive clothing and alter the ship’s appearance.
• Qin Mingyuan tested A'nu’s account by having captured hunting-season Warriors inspect the Beichuan, then threw them into the sea after they confirmed there were no problems.
• A'nu guided the Beichuan along a hidden route that avoided several high-tier Demon Beast lairs and shared news about divisions among the righteous sects, Old Devil Fang, and Gu Jinsheng.

Qin Mingyuan’s group reached the Haitang Demon Plant and concealed the Beichuan and a killing formation to ambush cultivators seeking Haitang Gel. When the plant awakened beneath the full moon, more than forty cultivators arrived, formed rival alliances, and plunged into battle.

• A'nu explained that the Haitang Demon Plant would awaken at the next full moon and produce Haitang Gel, drawing Qin Mingyuan and his companions to wait three days.
• Huang Liang helped the Qin Clan deploy a Third-Tier killing formation, and Qin Mingyuan hid the Beichuan beneath the sea while planning to slaughter the arriving cultivators and kill A'nu.
• The Haitang Demon Plant awakened beneath the full moon, and more than forty cultivators from four factions gathered above it.
• The neutral cultivators allied with the demonic path, while the Rogue Cultivators joined the righteous path, and the rival groups immediately began a chaotic battle.

Qin Mingyuan and his companions watched the overseas cultivators battle, studying their techniques while the factions repeatedly changed sides. With only ten survivors left and everyone wary of one another, Qin Mingyuan’s group prepared to make their move.

• After the battle reduced the fighters to ten, the survivors formed uneasy alliances and watched one another suspiciously.
• Qin Mingyuan and his companions decided to emerge while the remaining cultivators were distracted and depleted.

Qin Mingyuan’s group sprung a formation ambush on the exhausted cultivators, while Fairy Song turned on her allies and helped wipe out the survivors. After the two Rogue Cultivators surrendered and accepted her restrictions, the formation bore down on Fairy Song and both men, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Qin Mingyuan told A'nu to send a voice transmission to the Joyous Union Sect's female cultivators and have them cooperate with his group.
• A treasure ship surfaced and activated a Third-Tier formation that suppressed the cultivators and wrested control of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from Moyunzi.
• Fairy Song escaped the formation's restraints, killed Moyunzi and the cultivator surnamed Sun, and joined the attack that killed the remaining Devil Cultivators and Long Xuan and his junior brother.
• Fairy Song's junior sister killed a Joyous Union Sect cultivator after she had killed the Myriad Dharma Sect cultivators, then confessed her jealousy and murdered her junior sister.
• The two Rogue Cultivators accepted Fairy Song's restrictions to save themselves, but the formation's power descended on them and Fairy Song as well.

A'nu betrayed Fairy Song, but Qin Mingyuan's grand array killed the Rogue Cultivators and left Song Wei dead after a mutual strike. Qin Mingyuan's ancestor spared A'nu and sent her back to her sect with a hidden Soul Seed inside her.

• A'nu admitted she had betrayed Fairy Song to survive, and the Rogue Cultivators attacked the array's controllers.

At Mystic Inscription Island, two Joyous Union Sect elders found the island overrun by demons and discussed how to handle the flood dragon and a newly advanced Crab King.

• Qin Lu suspected that the unrest among the sects, Haiyue’s delayed tribulation, and the Eight Immortals Sea’s isolation might be connected, and resolved to form his Golden Core while expanding the Qin Clan.

He killed the flood dragon, took its Frost Dao Principle to strengthen the Frost and Snow Robe, and planned how its remains could benefit the Qin Clan and his son Qin Xiao.

• Qin Lu summoned the three ghost kings and Qing Centipede, forcing the cultivator surnamed Yan and the cultivator surnamed Bai to stop fighting the Cloud Sea Flood Dragon.
