Arc 11The Thunder at Purple Firmament
Shi Jian secured Abundant Water Marsh, consolidated White Cloud Temple’s gains, and arranged support for the Sacred Blood Sect while regional powers collapsed into war. By the end, Shi Jian’s refinement of the seventh-level Demon Core had brought his breakthrough to a critical moment.
- Shi Jian drove off the Venomous Flood Dragon King, subdued the insect clan after Mingshui died, and secured the Eastern Region for White Cloud Temple.
- Shi Pan formed a Golden Core in secret and became Boulder, while Zhao Yanshan died after entrusting Zhao Xuanqing with the household’s future.
- Shi Jian killed the Venomous Flood Dragon King and his allies, then accepted the Supreme Purity Sect’s division of Abundant Water Marsh while warning its representatives of the dangers there.
- Shi Jian began refining the seventh-level Demon Core, while Yun Du strengthened White Cloud Temple and Chang He died attempting Core Formation without Heaven and Earth Qi.
- Lord Rat died and Shu Changfeng succeeded him, while Rat Second asked Shi Pan to turn his remains into a Spirit Vein and Shu Laosan sacrificed himself so Shu Jiuyin could inherit his cultivation.
- The Sacred Blood Sect destroyed the Lin Household and seized the Mysterious Water Sect’s Clear Qi and the Gang Yuan Sect’s Gang Wind Qi as the Azure Edge Sect fell to invading sects.
- Bi Luo fled Liang Kingdom with the Sacred Blood Sect’s core forces, and Shi Pan accepted the two Qi treasures and arranged for Shu Changfeng to receive the Gang Wind Qi.
- Shi Pan asked Yun Du to seek wood Qi in exchange for the Mysterious Water Level Clear Qi, and they sensed Shi Jian’s breakthrough nearing its critical moment.
