• Water bandits surrounded Fu Henghua’s group, and their scholarly leader threw back a letter that spilled out funeral money, angering Fu Xiangfeng.

Fu Henghua persuaded the Purple Xuan survivors to consider an alliance with the Fu Family by offering to solve their people’s afflictions and handing them the man responsible for their kingdom’s destruction. At Turtle-Burial Reef, he discovered that spirit turtles had altered the island formations and devised a way to reach the central palace’s treasure.

• Fu Henghua explained that the spirit money was intended for Purple Xuan Kingdom’s wronged souls and offered to help the survivors restore their nation and solve their descendants’ problems.

Fu Henghua prepared to help Purple Xuan Kingdom recover by drawing the Eastern Region’s cultivation families into a plan to kill Wei Shihui before he could reach Nascent Soul. At Nine-Palace Isles, he used Pei Su’s formation and the Later-Heaven Trigrams to open a path into Luo Palace, carrying himself and two companions inside.

• Long Ye and Pei Su suspected that Fu Henghua’s group had brought supplies to win over the Purple Xuan Kingdom survivors and recruit them against the Wei Family.

• Fu Xuanxing followed Wind Resonance across the yarrow patch by stepping between turtle shells while Fu Liuhui and Fu Henghua cleared the centipedes.
• Fu Henghua created nine imitated spirit turtles to draw the centipedes together, then used a blood curse and Separation Flame to destroy most of the swarm and kill its largest demon.
• The surviving centipedes fought over the demon's Origin Pearl, and Fu Henghua found a Gu Stone that revealed Fu Tongjun had scattered stones to make the centipedes raise Gu.
• Fu Henghua and Fu Liuhui followed Fu Tongjun's trail to a fork marked with her instructions, then found a note on the middle path saying, "All three paths lead through. I take the center."
• Fu Henghua and Fu Liuhui realized their father might have reached Turtle-Burial Reef after making arrangements at Erlong Ravine.

Fu Henghua followed the middle path, uncovered his father’s traces, and activated a Five Elements array that carried him to the central peak, where he found no further clues. Fu Liuhui and Fu Xuanxing entered the Nine-Dragon Pool passage and discovered a jade turtle shell bearing a complete Lo Shu, while a warning revealed that the pool was a deadly trap.

• Fu Liuhui led Fu Xuanxing along the right path and found Fu Tongjun’s warning directing them underground.

• Fu Liuhui and Fu Xuanxing reached the pool and saw a jade turtle shell bearing a complete Lo Shu, while a bloody warning declared the route a Five Elements Death Ground.

• Fu Xuanxing and Fu Liuhui escaped as Nine-Dragon Pool collapsed after the Jade Crab retrieved the Jade Tortoise Shell.
• Fu Henghua used the Four-Seasons Formation and his Heart Ape to haul up the Lo Shu, whereupon the nine dragons merged into it and the surrounding Spirit Tortoises rioted.
• Xiaoyu, Jin Xian’e, Xue Kai, and their allies brought on a snowfall and fought Spirit Tortoises to force them back into hibernation.
• Fu Henghua rejected transforming himself into a Black Tortoise and chose the Jade Tortoise Lo Shu as his natal treasure.
• Fu Henghua blood-refined the Lo Shu with nine drops of heart’s blood, then inscribed the Nine-Star Lo Shu Restriction on it.
• The Lo Shu deduced three more restrictions and repaired a flawed Foundation Establishment method, giving Fu Henghua hope of developing a cultivation art for his grandfather.

Liu Xu’s soul-summoning rite for Wei Chongwei drew hundreds of thousands of wronged Zixuan spirits, whose resentment could not be dispelled while the Wei Family remained. Fu Henghua trapped the ghosts with stellar arts and began turning Turtle-Burial Reef into a Ghost Kingdom, where he uncovered clues about his father’s repeated use of life-saving treasures.

• Liu Xu summoned the Profound Void Sect’s grudges, and Xue Kai’s pill made Wei Chongwei relive his betrayal before the spirits consumed his body and scattered his soul.
• Long Ye asked Liu Xu to summon the Zixuan dead, but the spirits gathered in overwhelming numbers and revealed their hatred of the Wei Family.
• Fu Xuanxing and Fu Liuhui joined the others as Liu Xu struggled to send the spirits back, and Fu Xiangfeng explained that their revenge targeted the Wei Family as a whole.
• Fu Henghua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome and stellar spells to calm and contain the ghosts, then resolved to build them a Ghost Kingdom beneath Turtle-Burial Reef.
• Fu Henghua and Jin Xian’e and Xue Kai rearranged the reef mountains into a Lo Shu formation and restored the Nine-Dragon Pool, where Fu Henghua found remnants of his father’s life-saving treasures and uncovered a piece of Breath Soil.

Fu Henghua completed Whirlwind Islet with Breath Soil, sheltered the wronged souls of the Purple Xuan Kingdom, and named the transformed island Luogui Island. He learned that the souls were tied to Wei Shihui’s coming Soul Formation Tribulation, while the Fu Family prepared to use Luogui Island in its campaign to reclaim Purple Veranda Island.

• Fu Henghua used Breath Soil to raise the land beneath Turtle-Burial Reef, and the completed Whirlwind Islet brought down spiritual rain that aided Long Ye and the others.
• Fu Henghua placed the wronged souls in an illusory Luo City above the Nine-Dragon Pool and cultivated a Nine Yin Serpent Vine there.

• Fu Henghua proposed moving Luogui Island beside Coiling Dragon Island and using it to help attack Purple Veranda Island.

Fu Henghua outlined a plan to lure Wei Zhiwen onto Luogui Island, while Fu Xuanxing learned about the Purple Xuan children’s Spiritfolk traits and their cultivation prospects. An injured magpie then delivered a Fu Family wedding invitation that Fu Henghua suspected was a trap, prompting him to summon his relatives to discuss it.

• Fu Xuanxing saw the Purple Xuan survivors gathering turtle shells for Hengshou to stamp and overheard Xue Kai explain that the children’s strange features marked them as Spiritfolk whose condition required a suitable Spirit Vein.
• Fu Xuanxing reflected on the risks Spiritfolk faced at the Golden Core barrier, then found Fu Henghua fishing with Zhou Xiao and Liu Xu.
• Fu Henghua said he planned to have Pei Su stage a curse with the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to lure Wei Zhiwen into a battle on Luogui Island, which would soon move near Purple Veranda Island.
• An injured magpie delivered Fu Henghua a golden invitation to a Fu Family wedding at White Iron Islet, and Fu Henghua suspected the message was a trap and called his relatives to discuss it.

Fu Henghua recognized the Wei Family's invitation as a scheme to test and study him, then redirected the threat toward Purple Veranda Island by moving the wedding there. He began carrying Luogui Island east with thousands of wronged souls bound into Yin-energy turtles, leaving his group to head first for Earthflame Island.

• Fu Heyi explained that the Wei Family's invitation could draw Fu Henghua into an ambush or unsettle him, and Heng Hua vowed to destroy the Wei Family before Chongyang.
• Fu Xuanxing agreed to reinforce the Jade Dragonfly Vessel, while Fu Liuhui prepared to accompany Fu Danwei because she feared an ambush on his journey home.
• Fu Henghua proposed holding Fu Zhaoye's wedding on Purple Veranda Island, and Fu Heyi arranged for Fu Danwei to return to the clan to coordinate the plan.
• Fu Henghua discovered that Fu Xuanxing had increased the Jade Dragonfly Vessel's speed and let Fu Danwei and Fu Liuhui depart aboard it.
• Fu Henghua and Liu Xu summoned the wronged souls of Luo City into Yin-energy turtles, then used more than ten thousand of them to carry Luogui Island east toward Earthflame Island.

Fu Henghua cultivated Breath Soil on Earthflame Island, then rode the wind with Fu Xuanxing to catch up with Luogui Island. Meanwhile, Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Liuhui fought through Wei Family ambushes, while Fu Tongjun investigated their movements and set her sights on Purple Veranda Island.

• Fu Henghua discovered that Breath Soil could gather earth-element qi to form powerful attacks, then left Earthflame Island to catch up with Luogui Island alongside Fu Xuanxing.
• Fu Xuanxing told Fu Henghua that his spirit-beast horse had thrown him off and likely returned to the Mysterious Subtle Sect.
• Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Liuhui were ambushed by Wei Family cultivators, diverted toward Azure Sluice Island, and fought off several waves of attackers, briefly combining their sword moves.
• Fu Tongjun used Drowning Gu to subdue a Wei Family cultivator and two death warriors, then learned that Fu Henghua had visited Turtle-Burial Reef.
• Fu Tongjun guessed Fu Henghua was connected to Purple Veranda Island and decided to investigate it instead of returning to Coiling Dragon Island.
