• Xue Kai searched the Thunder Burial Zone for dragon blood, and Fu Danwei gave him a bottle while explaining that he had come to prevent the scattered blood from causing trouble.

• Fu Danwei set the proposal rite’s requirements: the Sword Saint had to provide a pair of live, unblemished geese, soil from three regions and ten continents, and water from nine enclosures and four seas.

Fu Henghua and Xue Kai studied Dragon King True Blood and concluded that dragons arose from primordial life evolving under spiritual qi, with dragon blood able to imitate all living matter. Their discoveries suggested ways to restore limbs and even form Dao bodies, and they began planning experiments while considering how dragon blood might free someone from the Yellow Dragon King's possession.

• Fu Henghua examined Dragon King True Blood and realized its blood elements resembled primitive, photosynthetic organisms, leading him to propose that dragons evolved from primordial life under the influence of Star Spirits and spiritual qi.
• Xue Kai understood Fu Henghua's theory and began experimenting with a drop of dragon blood as Shu Tianci asked for help interpreting the wedding requirements for soil from ten isles and water from the Four Seas.

Meanwhile, the Mysterious Subtle Sect sent four Heavenly Profound Treasure Mirrors to the Fu Family, and the Yansheng Dragon King grew wary that Fu Henghua might uncover the Dragon Clan’s ancient history.

• Mu Shansheng rang the Dao Bell for Xue Kai and Fu Henghua’s article on refining the body with dragon blood, and Tianxuan Zi connected Xue Kai’s research to his own Sage Path studies.
• Yuwen Chunqiu told no one the full story of Chang Yuezi’s expulsion and curses against Fu Henghua, then helped Fu Henghua make the final revisions to the Dragon Codex.

• Fu Henghua offered to pay for the gathering, but the three companions refused his offer.

Fu Henghua and the cultivators responded to research on dragon blood by developing new techniques and plans, while the Celestial Profound Dao Platform fostered collaboration. Tribulation Immortal Canglan promised to take the Grandmasters to seek the Thunder Dragon King's true blood as their research into the Heavenly Dipper Arts continued.

• Fu Henghua spent the Cloud Coins Tribulation Immortal Canglan sent him, learned that most Dragonkin blood could not replace dragon blood, and sent Fu Ruiying a Dragonkin Blood Refinement Art.

Fu Henghua defeated Duan Xun with his Eight Trigrams Sword Formation, prompting Mu Shansheng to give him a fuller sword manual and criticize his shallow understanding of swordsmanship and the Dao. The chapter ended with Mu Shansheng warning that Fu Henghua lacked a clear way to walk his Dao Path.

• Fu Henghua used the Eight Trigrams Sword Formation to shatter Duan Xun's Golden Sun Sword Domain and take his flying sword, then returned it to him.
• Mu Shansheng praised the formation and gave Fu Henghua a more comprehensive Eight Trigrams Aspects-Heaven Sword Manual.

• Fu Henghua challenged Mu Shansheng's claim that he lacked a Dao Heart, and Mu Shansheng explained that he lacked a clear understanding of how to walk his Dao Path.

After Mu Shansheng questioned Fu Henghua’s Dao heart, Fu Henghua sought counsel through the Bronze Ancient Mirror and clarified his path as a Dharma Performer devoted to Creation. His Heavenly Book revealed that another wind tribulation was approaching, while his distant correspondent disclosed that completing a Heavenly Book had also brought heavenly lightning.

• Mu Shansheng told Fu Henghua that he needed to understand his Dao heart, then agreed to watch over the hauntings in Bai Cang and train his disciples to capture ghosts.
• Fu Henghua withdrew to his study, where three Golden Core Cultivators offered conflicting advice about forming a core and left him more confused.
• Fu Henghua contacted the cultivator on the paired Bronze Ancient Mirror, who reassured him that the Sword Saint could not judge his path and described his Dao as Creation.
• Fu Henghua’s heart cleared, and a jade tree bearing the Dao methods he knew appeared behind him as his Heavenly Book revealed that a wind tribulation was coming.
• The mirror’s other cultivator told Fu Henghua that completing a Heavenly Book had brought heavenly lightning and advised using morality, sage virtue, and merit to reduce tribulations.

Fu Henghua refined and shared a defensive Dao art that Ge Liu adapted into his Golden Core Domain, while Fu Henghua continued seeking people to teach and support in Bai Cang. He distributed communication rings and left two still without chosen recipients, one of which he sensed was tied to the Food Immortal’s forbidden book.

• Fu Henghua created a silver pendant that rebounded attacks and healed him, then found that Ge Liu was the only one among their companions able to inherit the Star-Turning Mirror Method.

• Fu Danwei and Mu Shengtian discussed returning to Coiling Dragon Island, but Mu Shengtian agreed to leave only after arranging several matches for young cultivators.

• Fu Henghua continued accepting requests to recolor and modify treasures as customers brought in an expanding variety of artifacts and clothing.

• Bai Cang's attached-treasure services spread, and the Colorful Cloud Workshop invited Zhang Ruyi to teach pigment arts; Fu Henghua encouraged her to accept and gave her a Five Yin Tower token for protection.
• Fu Henghua completed a Morning Cloud Water-Dividing Diagram, whose divine general granted Ma Dongren a scripture and talisman, then explained that Ma could summon the general for aid.
• Fu Yaozhen foresaw a world-covering Dao diagram and worried that the fates of the four arts might lead their practitioners to become Demon Emperors.

• Ji Mingfeng showed Hengshou and Zhang Ruyi Colorful Cloud Workshop and explained that a secret manor beneath the island held the Myriad Colors Blending Heaven Collection and rare pigment formulas.
• Fu Henghua told Hengshou that he wanted a thirty-percent share in the inheritance and sent Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Xuanxing, and Fang Dongyuan to explore the underwater manor.
• The three newcomers joined Hengshou and dived beneath Plum Blossom Island as Ji Mingfeng watched, uncertain whether they could open the manor.
• At Tide-Note Studio, Fu Henghua declined to direct the search and said the underwater manor was Fu Pengming’s destined opportunity.
