• Heng Hua and Tianxuan Zi returned to Grand Profound Marsh, where the rescued cultivators thanked them and Quan Hezi recovered.
• Quan Hezi explained that heretical cultivators used people as materials for curse arts, pills, and artifacts, leading the Immortal and demonic paths to record forbidden techniques on two lists.

• Heng Hua swore that he had never cultivated heretical techniques and privately reasoned that his use of forbidden arts would not count because he had not used other people as materials.
• The Donglai Golden Ranking repeatedly scanned Heng Hua with golden light, and Tianxuan Zi questioned what he had been cultivating.

As he studied it and worked on his Deity-Sealing Diagram, Tianxuan Zi and Qi Xuan wrongly suspected he was hiding a demonic inheritance and decided to protect his secret.

• The Donglai Golden Ranking examined Fu Henghua’s curse arts, judged them not to be heretical, and recorded them under various classifications.

After lending the disc to Hengyu True Person for a prospective core-forming cultivator to study, Heng Hua discussed the divided Taixuan lineages and revealed that he planned to retrieve an object from the Grand Profound Marsh.

• Heng Hua’s sword formation broke through a wisp of cloud qi from the sixth cloud ring, and Hengyu True Person praised his power while suspecting his mana came from a Heavenly Book.
• Heng Hua asked Hengyu True Person to teach him how to refine a Dao-bearing artifact, then inscribed his cultivation methods and Dao arts onto a newly formed Five-Qi Nine-Dragon Exquisite Jade Disc.

• Heng Hua asked whether to inform other Taixuan inheritors about his plan to seek an object of attainment in the Grand Profound Marsh, and revealed that his floating-island formations and Nine-Dragon Method were part of the plan to retrieve it.

Fu Henghua used the Five Elements Mountain and the floating islands to retrieve the Supreme Mystery Sect’s Cloud Scroll through an exchange, then refined it into a Myriad Gods Chart. The chart absorbed heavenly thunder and became a divine treasure, leaving Henghua contemplating how far its power to incorporate and control the world could reach.

• Henghua used the Nine-Dragon True Art and Yin-Yang Object Shifting to exchange his Blood Covenant Cloud Scroll for the Cloud Scroll hidden in the True-Illusory Space.

• Dong Moyang fought through the spider demons with the Yuheng and Kaiyang star-lord war gods, while Heng Hua stirred the earth to engage the Nascent Soul-level Heavenly Net Queen.

• The Spider Mother contacted other Spider Mother Demon King Realms after Fu Henghua left.

• Fu Henghua concluded that the Divine Wood Clan, rabbit race, and spiders could be allies, while the frogs, tigers, wolves, rocs, and other ferocious races should be eradicated.

• Heng Hua established a Land God Domain, but two black-robed Frogfolk revealed themselves as Golden Core Realm evil cultivators and began a curse-killing rite.
• Heng Hua and Zhou Xiao renewed their defenses and interrupted the Frogfolk's spell with heavenly lightning.

Zhou Xiao and Heng Hua defeated the Frogfolk cultivators guarding a medicinal garden, but a Nascent Soul Grandmaster ambushed them with a puppet that abducted a Jade Rabbit and exploded. After retreating to recover, they learned nothing of their enemy’s plans, while the Frogman King prepared to become a Heavenly Evil Child using six captive Jade Rabbits.

• Zhou Xiao used the Pure Realm Dust-Leaving Pennant to suppress the Frogfolk cultivators’ evil arts and destroy their defenses, revealing a medicinal garden and the hidden Jade Rabbit spirits.
• Heng Hua and Zhou Xiao rescued the rabbits and prepared to store the garden, but an unseen Grandmaster replaced one Jade Rabbit with a mechanical puppet that abducted the spirit.

• The white Frogfolk Grandmaster sensed that Heng Hua and Zhou Xiao survived, while the Frogman King held six Jade Rabbit spirits beneath Taiyin Pillars and prepared to become a Heavenly Evil Child.

• Heng Hua took responsibility for the Gate of Obstruction and asked Yang Dai to trap the Gate of Scenery, inviting him to explore the mysteries of each other’s trigrams.

Heng Hua completed his deduction of the Li Trigram, organized the Eight-Gate Wind-Fire Formation, and welcomed reinforcements as the Tiger Clan’s demon army arrived at Red Abyss. The formation repelled the first assault, while the Blazing Flame Tiger King and his chiefs began seeking a way to find its weak point.

• Sun Zhuoyun struck the Spirit Rhinoceros Commander’s abdomen with a flying sword, forcing him to withdraw his troops.

Fu Henghua and the others used the Eight-Gate Wind-Fire Formation to withstand the Blazing Flame Tiger King's attacks and turn his fire against him. As the Tiger King pressed the assault, Yu Xiaolei arrived and struck him down with the Thunderfire Palace Refinement sword, while Sun Zhuoyun prepared to follow with a sword talisman.

• Fu Henghua exposed the Spirit Rhinoceros commander's actions through the Water-Mirror Art, weakening the demon army's morale before the Blazing Flame Tiger King attacked the formation.

• Sun Zhuoyun emerged from underground and unleashed a sword talisman above the fallen Tiger King.

The Tiger King escaped the Sword Saint’s attack but was ambushed by the Nine-Tailed Fox, who captured his inner core and began preparing to rebirth him as a puppet. Back at the Eight Gates Formation, Fu Henghua helped capture demons, then treated Zeng Chengfang and discussed the mysterious Wukong with the assembled cultivators.

• The Tiger King used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method to flee, but the Nine-Tailed Fox rescued him after ambushing and badly wounding Fu Henghua.
• Yu Xiaolei failed to sever one of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s Natal Fox Tails, while Fu Henghua recovered and explained how his pendant had saved him.

• Xuantong High Person watched Hengshou, Xiaoyu, and Fu Xuanxing search for Fu Yaozhen and realized she was trapped in the Fear-God Illusion Mirror.
• Xiaoyu entered the mirror and saw a vision of Heng Hua turning demonic, but Lord Jin’s power helped her break free; Hengshou recognized his own vision as false, while Fu Xuanxing saw only his reflection.

Fu Yaozhen and her companions escaped Xuantong High Person’s maze with rewards, then joined the effort to support the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect. At the ruined Eight Gates Formation, Fu Henghua deduced that two Tiger Kings had repeatedly reversed time after suffering defeats, and he attacked them with the Cloud Scroll.

• Xuantong High Person secretly probed Fu Yaozhen’s illusion, saw her vision of dying beside the red-clothed Fu Xuanxing, and withdrew when she confronted him.

• Fu Henghua deduced that the Tiger Kings had reversed time repeatedly, then unleashed the Star Gods from the Cloud Scroll to attack them with two combined immortal arts.

Fu Henghua used the Five Elements Mountain Method to break the twin Tiger Kings’ sun-moon domain and unleash a heaven-grade Dao art that remade the battlefield. The Tiger Kings fled into Tianxuan Zi’s star domain as the others moved to defeat them, while the exhausted Fu Henghua learned that his Heavenly Scripture had been restored.

• Fu Henghua’s Five Elements Mountain transformed into the heaven-grade Lotus Sea Fills the Heavens, shattered the sun-moon domain, restored his allies, and destroyed the demon soldiers’ bodies.
• Hengyu, Tianxuan Zi, and the others arrived as the domain collapsed; the Tiger Kings fled into Tianxuan Zi’s Giant Gate Star Domain, where Yu Xiaolei and the others pursued them.
• Fu Henghua collapsed from the Dao art’s immense cost while Yang Dai recognized its Five Elements power, and Fu Henghua realized his restored Heavenly Scripture made his earlier plan to counter Yang Dai’s art seem naive.

Fu Henghua woke after using a heaven-grade Dao art to save the formation defenders, while Hengyu True Person urged him to conceal the technique and discussed sending Fu Baimin to the Two Forms Dao.

• Hengyu True Person learned that Golden Horn and Silver Horn had escaped and saw that Fu Henghua was still asleep after exhausting his mind.
