Arc 9Jinling Defies Yuanshi
Ao Changsheng drove Yangmei away and continued cultivating while Yun Zhongzi became entangled in the changing fortunes of the Human Race. Jinling uncovered the Chan Sect’s scheme around Nezha and faced Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, leaving Guiling trapped with him as she unleashed an unexpected power.
- Ao Changsheng overwhelmed Yangmei’s spatial projection, then sent the Chaos Demon God of Disorder’s corpse to his Dao Field and collected the Dao Fruits it produced.
- Yun Zhongzi thanked Ao Changsheng for removing Hongyun’s Calamity Sha Qi, received the Dao Fusion Method, and went to investigate Yao Qi draining Yin Shang’s fortune.
- Yun Zhongzi took Leizhenzi as his disciple, while Jinling and Guiling watched over Bo Yikao and Jinling later warned Shiji to leave the Nine Provinces.
- After Boy Biyun was killed by a Heaven-Shaking Arrow, Shiji confronted Li Jing and Nezha, and True Person Taiyi’s intervention led Jinling to expose his scheme to seize Nezha’s providence.
- Celestial Venerable Yuanshi confronted Jinling after she discovered the hidden plot, and she used her star-powered technique while arranging for her incarnation to flee with Shiji.
- Guiling broke Yuanshi’s restraint long enough to rescue Jinling, then fought him with the Turtle Roar Cannon and was trapped inside a Middle Thousand World.
- Yuanshi battered Guiling and offered to keep her at Jade Void Palace, but as he prepared to seal her away, Guiling invoked reincarnation and began another Turtle Roar Cannon attack.
