• Yin Yunze learned that a Land God’s Divinity normally dissipated upon death and that obtaining one through other means was difficult, leaving him less concerned about being hunted for his own Divinity.

Yin Yunze learned the truth behind Grandfather Huang Three’s plan to transfer the Upper Creek Village Land God Divinity and discovered how greed turned a request for help into a scheme against him and Zhao Wan. The chapter ended with Yin Yunze learning that Grandfather Three Temple and its golden statue could form a Dao Field under an Incense God’s control.

• Yin Yunze concluded that local terrain and Earth Vein Power made him difficult for equal-ranked gods to challenge, while stronger gods had little reason to target him.
• Yin Yunze learned that Grandfather Huang Three had prepared the Upper Creek Village Land God Divinity for a second life, intending to inhabit a vessel and destroy his corrupted original body.

Yin Yunze confronted Liu Zhu, chief of Upper Creek Village, after killing its Land God, Grandfather Huang Three, and tried to win the villagers’ faith. Liu Zhu appeared to support him while steering suspicion and loyalty toward herself, and Yin Yunze challenged her account of the planned attack on Clear Creek Village.

• Liu Zhu introduced herself as Upper Creek Village’s chief, and Yin Yunze announced that he had slain Grandfather Huang Three and demanded that the villagers worship him.
• When a villager questioned the demand, Yin Yunze threatened that unbelievers would die, but Liu Zhu reassured the crowd and caused some believers’ faith to falter.
• Yin Yunze questioned Liu Zhu about turning away his earlier messenger and about Upper Creek Village’s plan to join Lower Creek Village in attacking Clear Creek Village.
• Liu Zhu admitted the plan but blamed Grandfather Huang Three, then urged the villagers to worship Yin Yunze; their renewed faith left Yin Yunze suspecting they trusted Liu Zhu more than him.
• Liu Zhu denied intending to attack Clear Creek Village and blamed the dead Huang Three, but Yin Yunze recognized inconsistencies in her account.

Yin Yunze realized Liu Zhu had orchestrated the conflict with Grandfather Huang Three to manipulate him and nearly cost Zhao Wan her life. He killed Liu Zhu with the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, then demanded the villagers’ belief as new believers began to appear.

• Yin Yunze pieced together how Liu Zhu had used Qi Siyuan, Qi Rongrong, and the attack on Clear Creek Village to draw him into a fight with Grandfather Huang Three.

When Song Ran warned him about the village’s dangerous old yellow weasel and Liu Zhu, Yin Yunze revealed he had already burned the weasel and cut down a bamboo stalk.

• Yin Yunze used Earth Escape to reach a deserted spot, made spiritual characters for Upper Creek Village, and found that nearly four hundred of its six hundred residents had become his followers.
• Yin Yunze left Upper Creek Village on foot and met Song Ran driving two ox carts carrying eight girls.
• Song Ran recognized Yin Yunze’s Spirit Descent in Zhao Wan’s body, and Yin Yunze signaled him to keep his identity secret from the girls.
• Song Ran explained that Constable Peng had delayed the journey by insisting they select girls with good foundations, and Yin Yunze noticed one proud, well-dressed girl among them.
• Song Ran warned Yin Yunze that an old yellow weasel who had attained the Dao and the formidable Liu Zhu lived in Upper Creek Village.
• Yin Yunze told Song Ran he had gone there to burn the yellow-furred old rat and cut down a crooked bamboo stalk.

Yin Yunze arranged for Song Ran to help manage Upper Creek Village and dealt with Zhang Yufei, a martial artist who challenged his authority. After he manifested Green Hill Yi Yun, Zhang Yufei and the other girls bowed to the fox immortal, and Yin Yunze recognized them as new believers.

• Yin Yunze told Song Ran that Upper Creek Village had been left without leaders and asked him to work out a management plan with Sun Qin.
• Song Ran ordered the girls to move between the carts, but Zhang Yufei objected and walked beside Yin Yunze instead.
• Zhang Yufei reached for Yin Yunze, caught his wrist, and resisted his attempt to break free with the Power of Incense Offerings.
• Song Ran revealed that Zhang Yufei was Constable Peng Shulan's junior sister, so Yin Yunze chose not to punish her.
• Yin Yunze manifested Green Hill Yi Yun, prompting the seven girls to kneel and thank the fox immortal; Zhang Yufei then knelt and paid her respects.

Yin Yunze accepted Zhang Yufei as a devout believer and put her under Zhao Wan’s authority, then discovered that she was a skilled martial artist. The group set off for the village after Zhang Yufei damaged Song Ran’s cart while showing off her abilities.

• Zhang Yufei’s faith in Green Hill Yi Yun made Yin Yunze appoint her as a follower under Zhao Wan and warn the girls not to turn against one another.
• Zhang Yufei apologized to Zhao Wan, asked how she had earned the right to speak with Yi Yun, and offered to carry her back to the village.
• Zhang Yufei revealed that she knew Flowing Smoke Steps and leaped high into the air before landing lightly.
• Zhang Yufei demonstrated Net Cloud Palm by shattering the ox cart’s railing, prompting Song Ran to scold her for damaging it.
• Zhang Yufei offered to demonstrate her Returning Wind Saber Technique, but Yin Yunze climbed onto the cart and Song Ran resumed driving toward the village.

Zhang Yufei explained that she wanted to meet Lady Yi Yun to repay her for helping Peng Shulan free her from an exploitative master. Yin Yunze learned that Zhang Yufei was a capable young martial artist and considered recruiting her as a combat deputy.

• Zhang Yufei told Yin Yunze that her master had raised and trained her after buying her as a child, but later tried to make her a concubine.

Two starving brothers arrived in Clear Creek Village and were fed and offered free Fox Rice in Lady Fox Immortal’s name, while Xu Hanxian came to apologize to Yin Yunze and grant the fox immortal official recognition. During the temple ceremony, the crowd mistook Yin Yunze for Azure Heavens Jade Maiden and chanted that name, leaving him furious that someone seemed to be taking over his ceremony.

• Two starving brothers reached Clear Creek Village, ate free steamed buns, and learned they could receive twenty jin of Fox Rice by worshipping Lady Fox Immortal.
• Xu Hanxian arrived with Zuo Xiaoyu, Xu Yue, and Peng Shulan to apologize to Yin Yunze and offer recovered gold and official recognition under the title “World-Saving Immortal Fox.”
• A temple appeared at the ceremony, and snow fell over the drought-stricken village as Yin Yunze manifested as a white-haired, nine-tailed beauty.
• Xu Hanxian identified the figure as Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, and the crowd spread the claim that Lady Fox Immortal was the frost-and-snow deity.
• When Yin Yunze tried to lead the crowd in calling out Green Hill Yi Yun, they instead shouted “Azure Heavens Jade Maiden,” prompting his anger and confusion.

Yin Yunze was pulled into the statue of Green Hill Yi Yun and became a real fox-eared, nine-tailed divine body through the believers’ faith. His three Land God Divinities fused into one, expanding his territory across the Clear Creek basin, and he discovered that one tail gave him power over frost and snow.

• Yin Yunze realized the believers’ calls to Azure Heavens Jade Maiden still directed their Incense of Faith to Green Hill Yi Yun, so he decided the unfamiliar title had not harmed him.
• A tremendous force pulled Yin Yunze into the Green Hill Yi Yun statue, where he gained a living body resembling the statue’s white-haired, green-eyed fox deity.
• Yin Yunze confirmed his new body was real and understood that the believers’ wishes had turned his fabricated identity into an actual existence.
• The three Land God Divinities entered Yin Yunze’s divine body, fused into one, and expanded his domain across the Clear Creek basin, greatly increasing his Earth Vein Power.
• Yin Yunze found that one of his nine tails controlled frost and snow, then stopped his attempt to gather the snowfall after it created a powerful gale that nearly knocked over the spectators.

Yin Yunze discovered that his temple ceremony had unexpectedly helped him condense the divine office of God of Frost and Snow, granting him powerful ice abilities and the ability to fly. He decided to keep the authority despite the risk of offending the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, then wondered whether his other eight tails could gain divine offices too.

• Yin Yunze tested his new Authority over Frost and Snow by creating ice, forming a sword, and lifting himself into the air.
• Yin Yunze realized he had become both the Land God of the Clear Creek basin and a Divine Office God whose power depended on followers and their Incense of Faith.
• Yin Yunze suspected the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden had granted or inspired his new authority, and considered the karmic risk of letting people mistake him for her.
• Yin Yunze chose to keep the divine office and authority, reasoning that its combat power and flight were worth the risk.
• Yin Yunze examined his eight dimmer tails and wondered whether they could each condense another divine office and authority.

Yin Yunze completed the temple-establishment ceremony, and his new temple bonded with the local Earth Vein Power and began gathering incense offerings. After discovering the temple’s protections and Dao Field, he saw Xu Hanxian and his family among the visitors and prepared to receive them.

• Yin Yunze flew above the crowd and ordered the shrine maidens to carry Green Hill Yi Yun’s statue into the temple, easing its weight with wind and snow.
• Zhang Yufei kept the shrine maidens in order as they set the statue on the altar, completing the ceremony.
• Yin Yunze saw the temple join with the area’s Earth Vein Power, gain incense-offering protection, and become covered by a layer of purple-gold light; the abandoned old temple collapsed.
• Yin Yunze returned to the statue and recognized Xu Hanxian and three other acquaintances among the visitors.
• Yin Yunze activated the temple’s Dao Field and learned that it served as a private resting place for gods and their attendants as well as a means of confronting enemies.

Yin Yunze explored his newly acquired Dao Field and nine-tailed fox form, then brought four visitors inside to meet him. He learned Xu Hanxian had spread the belief that he was Lady Qingnü, the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden, a claim that had helped his growing divine reputation.

• Yin Yunze revealed his nine-tailed white fox form in the empty Dao Field and struggled to move on four legs.
• Yin Yunze adjusted the Dao Field’s transparency, observed worshippers in the temple, and pulled Xu Yue, Zuo Xiaoyu, Peng Shulan, and Xu Hanxian inside.
• Xu Yue rushed over to cuddle Yin Yunze and played with his tail until Zuo Xiaoyu pulled her away.
• Yin Yunze greeted Zuo Xiaoyu and sarcastically challenged Xu Hanxian, who came to apologize for previously neglecting him.
• Xu Hanxian called Yin Yunze Lady Qingnü and explained that he believed Yin Yunze was the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden because of his snow powers and white-haired appearance.
• Yin Yunze realized Xu Hanxian had been telling people he was the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden and considered how that belief had supported his growing worship.

Yin Yunze accepted Xu Hanxian’s offer of official recognition under the divine name Qingnü, hoping the ceremony would strengthen his frost-and-snow godhood. After discovering that the Great Gate of Incense had closed without sending him back to reality, he left arrangements for the ceremony to his shrine maiden.

• Xu Hanxian apologized for letting Yin Yunze’s identity slip, and Xu Yue explained that he had done so twice.
• Xu Hanxian offered Yin Yunze official recognition, and Yin Yunze chose the name Qingnü rather than Azure Heavens Jade Maiden.
• Yin Yunze discovered the Great Gate of Incense was closed and trapping him in this world while continuing to consume a third of his Power of Incense Offerings.
• Yin Yunze asked Xu Hanxian to hold the recognition ceremony that afternoon and summoned his shrine maiden to discuss the arrangements.
• Yin Yunze authorized his shrine maiden to represent him in all matters, including money and provisions, and Xu Hanxian smiled.

After accepting Xu Hanxian’s gold and gifts, Yin Yunze discovered four new skills and studied the tiers of her Divination ability. She used her first reading to ask about borrowing the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden’s name, then tried to divine whether the Drought Demon in the Tomb of Prince Jing would emerge, but missed the coin as it fell.

• Xu Hanxian gave Yin Yunze two thousand taels of gold for relief efforts, and she accepted his offer of friendship and family ties.
• Yin Yunze gave Xu Hanxian a gift, then sent him, Zuo Xiaoyu, and Sun Qin out of the Dao Field after arranging for Sun Qin to handle the official consecration.
• Yin Yunze discovered the skills Divination, Grant Wishes, Forge Oaths, and Avatar, and learned the costs and limits of Divination’s three tiers.
• Yin Yunze used Casting Stones to Ask the Way to divine the consequences of borrowing the Azure Heavens Jade Maiden’s name and received a result of fortune.
• Yin Yunze tried to divine whether the Drought Demon in the Tomb of Prince Jing would emerge, but missed the falling copper coin, which landed on the ground.

Yin Yunze tested the limits of divination and examined four newly unlocked divine skills, learning how they could aid and bind his believers. After deciding the Tomb of Prince Jing posed no danger for six months, he began experimenting with sealing frost abilities into the characters he created.

• Yin Yunze failed to divine answers about Prince Jing's corpse and the drought, then indirectly learned that Peng Shulan would be safe on Emerald Forest Mountain for half a year.
• Yin Yunze failed to divine whether being trapped in this world was good or bad and set a personal limit for failed divinations.
• Yin Yunze studied Grant Wishes and Forge Oaths, which could improve believers' chances and enforce contracts or oaths.
• Yin Yunze examined Avatar and learned he could sense distant believers and appear before them, while Spirit Descent could now be used on the ten shrine maidens with their consent.
• Yin Yunze remembered to make the day's characters and began sealing ice-based abilities into them with his Authority over Frost and Snow.

Yin Yunze received official recognition as Lady Qingnü, strengthening the temple’s protections and helping him condense the God of Frost and Snow divinity. After Xu Hanxian raised the Drought Demon at the Tomb of Prince Jing, Yin Yunze took him to the temple to speak privately, while the City God ordered an investigation into the newly recognized deity.

• Xu Hanxian officially recognized Lady Qingnü, and Dynastic Karmic Luck merged the temple’s three protective forces into a stronger barrier.
• Yin Yunze summoned snow, appeared as Green Hill Yi Yun, thanked Xu Hanxian, and gave Fox Biscuits to the gathered believers.
• The believers’ faith surged, allowing Yin Yunze to condense the God of Frost and Snow divinity in his icy tail.
• Xu Hanxian reminded Yin Yunze about the Drought Demon at the Tomb of Prince Jing, so Yin Yunze took him to the temple to talk privately.
• The City God heard of Lady Qingnü’s recognition, considered confronting her, then ordered the Day and Night Wandering Gods to investigate her background.

Xu Hanxian showed Yin Yunze the Supernatural Pursuit Bureau chief’s dismissal of reports about the Drought Ghost at the Tomb of Prince Jing, leading Yin Yunze to suspect a powerful expert was raising Prince Jing’s corpse and that the bureau was covering it up. After Xu Hanxian appealed to Yin Yunze to protect the people, she accepted that she would have to face the threat and had at least half a year to prepare.

• Xu Hanxian gave Yin Yunze the bureau chief’s reply, which called reports of a Drought Demon at the Tomb of Prince Jing baseless and told him to ignore them.
• Xu Hanxian argued that the chief’s personal seal suggested the bureau knew about the tomb and had covered up the danger.
• Yin Yunze connected the bureau’s cover-up to the expert wielding Dark Heavenly Lightning Flags and suspected that the expert was raising Prince Jing’s corpse.
• Xu Hanxian asked Yin Yunze to protect the county’s people, revealing that he had used her official recognition to press her into dealing with the tomb.
• Yin Yunze sent Xu Hanxian away and accepted that she would have to fight the Drought Demon, with about half a year to plan.

After the temple celebration, Yin Yunze found Zhao Wan playing outside Clear Creek Village with a large fox, whose fearful reaction and attempt to flee made him suspect she was hiding something. He froze the fox in place and approached her, leaving her trapped before him.

• The believers left Lady Qingnü's temple, whose colorful lights drew some back inside to offer more Incense of Faith.
• Yin Yunze healed the exhausted shrine maidens and learned from Sun Qin that Zhao Wan had been meeting a new friend at night.
• Yin Yunze sensed Zhao Wan near the entrance to Clear Creek Village and found her stroking a large orange-red fox with a black collar.
• When Yin Yunze appeared, the fox's fur puffed up and she fled, accidentally bumping Zhao Wan.
• Yin Yunze froze the fox's paws to the ground and walked toward her as she trembled in fear.

Yin Yunze spared Hu Siniang, removed the restriction on her collar, and used a Seeking Bestowal ritual to give her a great deal of divine incense power. Hu Siniang transformed into a fox-eared girl, and Yin Yunze’s experiment ended with her new form revealed.

• Yin Yunze recognized Hu Siniang as the fox who had once been with Wang Guisheng and froze most of her body, but Zhao Wan asked him to spare her.
• Hu Siniang revealed that she was a vixen who had approached Zhao Wan hoping to meet Yin Yunze, and Yin Yunze freed her from the restriction on her black collar.
• Yin Yunze had Hu Siniang perform a Seeking Bestowal ritual and sent her more than a hundred portions of his Power of Incense Offerings.
• Hu Siniang screamed as her body changed, then transformed into a white-haired, red-eyed fox-eared girl with a large orange-red tail.

Hu Siniang transformed into a fox-eared girl after absorbing a large dose of Power of Incense Offerings, becoming a fervent believer in Yin Yunze and resembling Green Hill Yi Yun. When Yin Yunze asked about Ghost Bone, she revealed that the Heavenly Wheel Sect had used it to gain leverage over Qingling County’s magistrate as part of a rebellion plot, then began explaining the cult’s plans amid a regional drought.

• Hu Siniang transformed into a human girl, and Zhao Wan helped her dress as she struggled to use her new limbs.
• Yin Yunze noticed Hu Siniang resembled Green Hill Yi Yun and concluded the Power of Incense Offerings had altered her appearance and made her a believer.
• Hu Siniang told Yin Yunze that Hu Sangu was her older sister and that Wang Guisheng had used Ghost Bone to harm the Qingling County magistrate’s daughter.
• Hu Siniang revealed that the Heavenly Wheel Sect planned to gain leverage over county magistrates and prepare a rebellion.
• Hu Siniang described the Heavenly Wheel Sect’s leaders and its more than three hundred thousand believers, then explained that the drought in Anqing Prefecture had prompted the sect’s operation against local magistrates.
