Fu Henghua copied He Xianyin’s records of Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain, received a Golden Dawn Heavenly Rain Fruit, and learned the Jade-Sound Sword Technique. When He Xianyin discovered that Yin Jiulong knew the Bright Rosy Sword Formula, she captured her and brought her into their plans to explore the mountain.

After his demonic intrusion was discovered, Yuan Yue fled toward the Sword Pool with Ying Xia, only for Chen Yun and Su Yu to join their expedition.

• He Xianyin searched Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain, mourned her lost sisters, and fought the Howling Moon Silver Wolf King after it led its pack against her.

• Wukong hid in a cave and put away the Jade Cauldron Pill before it could trap his Yin Spirit in a False Core.

• The wolves charged toward He Xianyin, while Fu Henghua told Yin Yulong to guard the central route and prepared to keep fighting without recalling the Wukong Incarnation.

Fu Henghua used formations, flames, and summoned treefolk to wear down the demon wolves while Lord Guan arrived to protect He Xianyin and killed the silver wolves. Afterward, Fu Henghua exhausted his power creating Wood Dragons to study their formation, while Lord Guan exposed Yuan Yue’s attempted ambush and brought Chen Yun and Ying Xia to Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain.

• Fu Henghua used Separation Flame, Vermilion Birds, and summoned treefolk to kill waves of demon wolves within the formation.

Fu Henghua’s group learned that the Demon Race was massing on Relict Continent, while Fu Henghua’s Wukong Incarnation crossed Five Elements Mountain to relay the warning. The two pavilions and the Golden Direction sects mobilized reinforcements, though the chapter left their forces still traveling toward the threatened Cloud Pillars.

• He Xianyin killed Ying Xia and Chen Yun for betraying her, despite Fu Henghua’s thoughts of keeping them to help fight the Demon Race.
• Fu Henghua persuaded Lord Guan to stay and help defend against the Howling Moon Wolf clan while the Wukong Incarnation headed for Five Elements Mountain to report the danger.

Fu Henghua completed the Nine-Dragon Azure Wood Cage and discovered that Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain’s buried formations were only the foundation for the heavenly palace hidden in the sky. He decided to leave rather than get involved in the looming conflict, but Sword Immortal Luo and other masters arrived and challenged his refusal to fight Ai Yanchang.

• Fu Henghua refined nine Wood Flood Dragons into the Nine-Dragon Azure Wood Cage and tested it by draining a tiger demon’s vital essence.
• Fu Henghua found more than five hundred Cloud-Gathering Formations and deduced that Golden Radiance Hall and Myriad Rosy Clouds Palace remained hidden in the sky.
• Fu Henghua explained that the formations could control the Cloud Pillars used in the Cloud Realm Grand Formation, and proposed destroying them before the Demon Race could take control.

• Sword Immortal Luo and several Sword Dao Grandmasters arrived, reproached Fu Henghua for avoiding his duel with Ai Yanchang, and Murong Shengyu questioned whether he planned to manipulate the betting wager.

• Murong Shengyu and Yin Yulong urged Fu Henghua to practice swordsmanship because they had bet on his sword duel, while He Xianyin ordered defenses prepared at Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain.

• Fu Danwei invited Wukong to investigate the Earth Dragon’s origins with him, and they descended into the tunnel where it had been found.
• Fu Danwei and Wukong discovered an underground world where wolf demons attacked them, and Wukong destroyed the first group with Supreme Clarity Formless Sword Qi.
• Fu Danwei corrected Wukong’s sword posture and offered to teach him more sword intents, while Wukong welcomed the chance to explain his style as Fu Danwei’s influence.
• At Jade Rosy Cloud Mountain, Fu Henghua hid under bedding while criticizing the Sword Immortal Luo’s attempts to repair the Cloud-Gathering Formations.
• Lord Guan stopped the Sword Immortal Luo from disturbing Henghua, while He Xianyin argued that the Fu Family should receive a benefit before Henghua was expected to help.

Wukong and Fu Danwei uncovered the Earth Dragons’ connection to the Dragon Kings’ schemes while fighting through the underground passages. Meanwhile, Fu Henghua traded his help repairing a formation for two mysterious books, one of which contained a method for finding connected objects.

• Fu Danwei reflected an Earth Dragon’s Dragon Flame with a wind barrier, and Wukong collected its Golden Core dragon pearl.
• Fu Danwei identified the Earth Dragons’ cultivation as the Dragon-Raising Fire Refinement Art and suspected the Dragon Kings had prepared them to strengthen the demons and seek revenge.
• Fu Danwei used Upper Purity Formlessness to destroy two more Earth Dragons and gave their dragon pearls to Wukong.
• Fu Henghua refused to help Murong Shengyu repair a formation until Murong offered him two books, then recognized their familiar handwriting and wondered whether they had come from a Redwood Box.
• Fu Henghua memorized the first book’s object-finding method and began repairing the formation, satisfied that his childish act had earned him benefits without harming relations between the families.
