Chapter Summaries

Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanxing confronted a group of women who wanted the Jade Rabbit’s heartblood to treat their master’s illness. After Fu Henghua’s assumed identity was exposed, he deduced the young woman in the palanquin had a Hundred-Yin Extremity Body, while the growing forest fire left the group poised to move elsewhere.

• Two blue-robed women and eight yellow-robed women cornered the injured Jade Rabbit, whose master asked to borrow its heartblood for medicine.
• Fu Henghua healed the Jade Rabbit, claimed it was his younger sister, and used his Mysterious Fire Fan to drive back the women as Fu Xuanxing arrived.
• Fu Henghua introduced himself as Fu Tongjun’s brother, but the woman in the palanquin revealed that Fu Tongjun had told her about the Jade Rabbit.
• Fu Henghua identified the woman’s illness and recognized that she had been born with a Hundred-Yin Extremity Body, while Fu Xuanxing’s clash with a swordswoman spread the fire further.
• Fu Xuanxing urged everyone to put out the flames and move elsewhere before others arrived.

Fu Henghua negotiated with Miss Dongfang over the Jade Rabbit’s heartblood and offered to restore the Taiyin Heavenly Book’s cultivation method to help cure her. After Miss Dongfang lent him a golden hairpin and herbs, Henghua took a drop of the Jade Rabbit’s heartblood, leaving it weak.

• Fu Henghua discovered a pool of Taiyin True Water in the cave and had Fu Xuanxing collect it while he persuaded the Jade Rabbit to join his family.
• Miss Dongfang explained that her damaged Taiyin Nine Winds Art and later cultivation had left her afflicted by yin and cold energy, with the Jade Rabbit’s heartblood offering only temporary relief.

• Fu Henghua asked about Miss Dongfang’s ties to the Wei Family and insisted that the Jade Rabbit receive double compensation and herbs for its heartblood.
• Miss Dongfang gave Fu Henghua a golden hairpin and a bracelet containing spirit herbs, and he placed the bracelet on the Jade Rabbit before taking a drop of its heartblood.

Fu Henghua traded a deduction of Miss Dongfang’s cultivation art for her golden hairpin and restored the first layer of the Taiyin Heavenly Book’s Qi Refining method. He then began building a Five Elements Mountain trap on Luogui Island to lure Wei Zhiwen, with Fu Tiancang lending his aid.

• Fu Henghua drew one drop of heart’s blood from the Jade Rabbit, then persuaded Miss Dongfang to lend him her golden hairpin in exchange for deducing her cultivation art.
• Using the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to combine several related arts, Fu Henghua derived the Divine Moon Qi Refining method, and a medicine subject successfully cultivated its first layer.
• Miss Dongfang and her companions followed Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanxing to Luogui Island, where he explained that he needed Wei Zhiwen to believe he could win and take the bait.
• Fu Henghua placed Five Elements spiritual materials among the Central Palace Five Peaks and began transforming them into a mountain capable of sealing Golden Core escape arts.
• Fu Tiancang added several objects to the peaks and helped Fu Henghua complete his second Greater Celestial Circuit.

The Wei Family prepared to counter the Fu Family’s curse and planned to attack that night, while Fu Tongjun and Fu Pengming hid on Purple Veranda Island. Fu Tongjun learned that Heng Hua had described a seven-part immortal Gu art resembling her own inheritance, leaving her unsettled as she chose to meet him on the island rather than return home.

• Wei Zhihe urged the Wei Family to use its reserved False Cores after two of its eleven False Core cultivators died and its defenses were destroyed.
• Wei Zhiwen’s Peaceful Spirit Jade Pendant shattered, and the three Wei cultivators traced a suppression curse to Pei Su’s ritual and learned that Purple Veranda Island was approaching.
• Wei Zhiwen proposed using a secret technique to regain clarity and attacking that night, while Fu Tongjun considered striking Purple Veranda Island after the Wei elites left.
• Fu Tongjun hid with Fu Pengming under her Concealment Gu, and he told her Heng Hua had described the Seven Gu Immortal-Severing Scripture.
• Fu Tongjun recognized details matching her Gu Transformation Feather Immortal Art and its inherited Gu techniques, then decided she would meet Heng Hua on Purple Veranda Island instead of returning to Coiling Dragon Island.

Fu Henghua explained why he remained with the Fu Family instead of joining the Mysterious Subtle Sect, and how his Heaven-Penetrating Wisdomheart could help the family create a totem. As preparations continued for the trap against Wei Zhiwen, Zhou Xiao asked whether Fu Henghua would sacrifice his Dao Path for his family.

• Fu Henghua told Zhou Xiao that everything was ready to lure Wei Zhiwen into a trap, and asked him to entertain the others rather than fight.
• The girl in the cloud carriage advanced to the third level of Qi Refining by adapting the Taiyin Heart Method, but still needed Fu Henghua's help with the fourth level.
• Fu Henghua explained that his Wisdomheart could help the Fu Family create a Totem Spirit, and that he had stayed partly to prevent the family from resorting to a blood sacrifice.
• Fu Henghua recounted how the Fu Family had kept him from becoming a disciple of the Mysterious Subtle Sect and supported his learning, while two other Wisdomheart bearers had left.
• Zhou Xiao praised Fu Henghua's concern for his family, then asked whether he would give up his Dao Path for them.

Fu Henghua explained that he sought the Great Dao to revive his parents and restore the Fu Family, then prepared for the coming battle. On Luogui Island, Wei Zhiwen’s force fell into Fu Henghua’s Nine Palace Formation, leaving the battle divided among its palaces.

• Fu Henghua told Zhou Xiao that he aimed to attain the Great Dao through the Heavenly Book, revive his parents, and restore the Fu Family.
• Fu Tongjun revealed her uncontrollable Spirit Gu Human-Shaped Gu and two Foundation Establishment Human-Shaped Gu, then took Fu Pengming to seize Zixuan Island.
• Wei Zhiwen led his cultivators toward Luogui Island, where the resentment of the people he had killed weakened his fortune and Pei Su used a portrait to channel the resentment against him.
• Fu Tiancang and Xue Kai engaged Wei Chongxian and Wei Zhihe as Fu Henghua activated the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome and trapped the cultivators in Luogui Island’s Nine Palace Formation.
• Wei Zhiwen assessed the formation and planned to rescue his younger allies before taking the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, while Zhou Xiao warned that Fu Henghua’s Five Elements Mountain could prevent him from escaping alive.

Fu Henghua activated the Central Palace Five Peaks and summoned a distant Five Elements Mountain Spirit to trap Wei Zhiwen and suppress his Five Elements Escape Arts. Wei Zhiwen fought back, but discovered that the formation absorbed the Five Elements techniques he tried to cast.

• Wei Zhiwen explored the Nine Palace Formation, sensed danger in the Dui Palace and an opportunity in the Central Palace, and left the other trapped Wei cultivators alone.
• Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanxing used the Wei cultivators in the Nine-Dragon Pool as bait; the pool's wronged souls killed them, and Wei Zhiwen attacked the formation from the Central Palace.
• Fu Henghua activated the Golden Puppet and the Five Elements Mountain formation, while Fu Xuanxing confronted Wei Zhiwen and the summoned mountain disabled all five of his escape arts.
• Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Liuhui arrived and attacked Wei Zhiwen, who defended himself with his Demon Banner while the mountain spirit pressed down on the island.
• Wei Zhiwen tried using inscribed Five Elements techniques against the formation, but the mountain absorbed them, and Fu Henghua challenged him to cast any one of them successfully.

Fu Henghua and his allies used the Five Elements Mountain to seal Wei Zhiwen’s Five Elements arts and wear him down, then destroyed his Demon Banner and rallied the wronged souls against him. Wei Zhiwen survived by revealing his Elephant God Body, but the attackers had prepared counters and forced him to keep fighting in human form.

• Fu Henghua used the Five Elements Mountain to absorb Wei Zhiwen’s Five Elements arts and drain his core essence while Fu Xuanxing, Fu Xiangfeng, and Fu Liuhui attacked.
• Pei Su approached with Wei Tingyu’s fire-aligned Origin Core as Fu Henghua seized control of the Demon Banner, and Jade Rabbit stole it after kicking out Wei Zhiwen’s eye.
• Fu Henghua burned the Demon Banner with Separation Flame, freeing the Blood Godspawn and allowing hundreds of thousands of wronged souls to gather and attack Wei Zhiwen.
• Wei Zhiwen revealed his Elephant God Body and struck Pei Su unconscious, but Wind Resonance warned him that Long Ye and the others had Bao Family talisman arrows coated with Cheng Family poison.
• Wei Zhiwen changed back into human form to evade the talisman arrows and fought Fu Xuanxing and the others again.

Fu Henghua’s group wore down Wei Zhiwen until Fu Henghua seized his Five-Elements Origin Core and Wei Zhiwen was killed. Five Elements Mountain absorbed the core, grew out of control, and began sinking Luogui Island as everyone fled.

• Pei Su recovered on Five Elements Mountain and rejoined the attack, while Wei Zhiwen’s attempt to escape the mountain’s suppression failed.
• Fu Tiancang killed Wei Chongxian, then joined Jin Xian'e and Xue Kai to watch Fu Xuanxing fight Wei Zhiwen.
• Fu Xuanxing repeatedly fought Wei Zhiwen as Pei Su’s curses weakened him, and Fu Henghua recognized the Southern Bright Li Fire Sword’s sheath inside Fu Xuanxing.
• Fu Henghua struck Wei Zhiwen, took his Five-Elements Origin Core, and used a spirit painting to survive Wei Zhiwen’s fatal counterattack.
• Pei Su, Long Ye, and the wronged souls killed Wei Zhiwen, while Fu Henghua warned everyone that Five Elements Mountain was losing control.
• Five Elements Mountain absorbed the Five-Elements Origin Core, grew larger, and began sinking Luogui Island, forcing everyone to flee.

Fu Henghua and his allies stopped Wei Zhiwen’s Yin Spirit from consuming Luogui Island, recovered several Five Elements treasures, and restored Purple Veranda Island’s survivors to their families. As Fu Henghua advanced his cultivation, the Wei Family faced mounting losses and prepared for a desperate counterattack.

• Fu Henghua used the Luo Palace Grand Formation and the golden tortoise to hold Luogui Island together while Jin Xian'e and the others tried to separate the Five Elements Mountain Spirit from the expanding mountain range.
• Fu Xuanxing threw the Mysterious Separation-Flame Origin Core into the Five-Elements Returning-Spirit Origin Core, scorching Wei Zhiwen’s Yin Spirit and wounding Wei Tingyu’s sealed Yin Spirit.
• Jin Xian'e sent the Five Elements Mountain Spirit back to the northeastern border, and Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Liuhui, Fu Xuanxing, and the Jade Rabbit retrieved the Five Elements treasures as the mountain configuration collapsed.
• Pei Su and the other survivors found Wei Zhiwen’s corpse, while Long Ye reunited with his wife and daughter; the wronged souls later erased Wei Zhiwen and Wei Tingyu’s remaining traces.
• Fu Henghua completed the four assemblies of his cultivation, while Wei Shihui sensed his family’s deaths and Elder Fu challenged him to fight at the Double Ninth Festival.
• Wei Yunnian’s force found White Iron Islet deserted and trapped, then learned of the Wei Family’s losses and chose to attack a Bao Family spiritual islet instead of returning to Four Return Island.

• Fu Henghua used the Five Elements Mountain Method to subdue the Heart Ape and broke through to the second layer of Foundation Establishment.
• Xiaoyu told Fu Henghua that someone had attacked the Wei Family on Purple Veranda Island and that the traces suggested Gu had been used; Fu Henghua deduced that Fu Tongjun had returned and ordered the others to keep her presence secret.

• Fu Henghua explored the Purple Bamboo Forest, sampled spirit bamboo, and ordered the Five-Colored Jade Terrace and its spirit pearls moved to Luogui Island for refurbishment.
• Fu Henghua turned away from the wine bamboo, but Fu Tiancang appeared and invited him to judge the wine for the wedding banquet.

As Fu Henghua and Fu Tiancang prepared for Fu Zhaoye’s wedding on Purple Veranda Island, they discussed who would guard the island and Fu Henghua’s future role in the family. Fu Henghua revealed that he wanted to become the Fu Family head and unite four Spirit-Hiding Islands into an array that would provide better Spirit Veins for the entire family.

• Fu Henghua and Fu Tiancang sampled Purple Bamboo Wine and arranged for extra wedding provisions, which the Wei Family would pay for.
• Fu Tiancang asked Fu Henghua whether he would take charge of Cypress Sovereign Hall, but Fu Henghua said Fu Yinggu was better suited to manage Coiling Dragon Island and Fu Xiangfeng had a chance to form a core.
• Fu Henghua gave Xiaoyu several spells to make the wedding fireworks more elaborate, then told Fu Tiancang he did not want to spend his life only as a transmission elder.
• Fu Henghua declared that he wanted to become the Fu Family head so he could pursue cultivation and revive the family according to his plans.
• Fu Henghua proposed linking four Lower-Grade First-Rank Spirit-Hiding Islands into an array to provide better spiritual energy for the three halls and eighteen branches, and Fu Tiancang considered the proposal.

Fu Henghua persuaded Fu Tiancang to support a practical alliance between White Elm Hall and Cypress Sovereign Hall, beginning with Luo Tortoise Island’s advance and a dragon-tortoise domain. They agreed to wait for Wei Shihui’s death before moving against Four Return Island, but Fu Henghua fled when he learned Fu Yinggu had arrived with the Seven-Star Whip.

• Fu Henghua explained the Fu Family’s plans for Heavenwind Island and Coiling Dragon Island, then argued that his Four Auspicious Continent vision could eventually lead to an Immortal Ascension Isle.
• Fu Henghua proposed that Luo Tortoise Island absorb Four Return Island’s Spirit Vein and join Coiling Dragon Island, while White Elm Hall and Cypress Sovereign Hall worked together on a broader domain.
• Fu Tiancang agreed to the immediate dragon-tortoise plan and offered to help Fu Henghua contend for family head if he reached the Mystic Womb level within a hundred years.
• Fu Henghua and Fu Tiancang agreed to stay and observe for three months, then have Luo Tortoise Island seize Four Return Island’s origin after Wei Shihui died.
• Xiaoyu warned Fu Henghua that Fu Yinggu had arrived carrying the Seven-Star Whip, so Fu Henghua escaped with earth escape and told Xiaoyu to claim he was in seclusion.

Fu Henghua evaded Fu Yinggu while searching Cloud Central City for Fu Tongjun, whom he found hiding with Fu Pengming. After passing Dongfang Yunqi the Taiyin Heavenly Book methods, he watched her form a Primordial Taiyin Dao Seed and regain feeling in her feet before fleeing as Fu Yinggu searched for him again.

• Fu Yinggu and Sun Yuan arrived at Zixuan Island and found its Wei Family spirit discs removed, while Fu Henghua concealed himself from Fu Yinggu’s search.
• Fu Henghua entered Cloud Central City, warned Fu Xuanxing about the people there, and escaped into the inner city when Fu Yinggu’s divine awareness returned.
• Fu Henghua found a dead Wei Family disciple and Fu Pengming hidden in a clothes chest, then left Fu Pengming in place to keep Fu Tongjun’s presence secret.
• The women of Immortal Algae Palace intercepted Fu Henghua, and he gave Dongfang Yunqi the fourth- and seventh-layer Taiyin Heavenly Book methods.
• Dongfang Yunqi understood the intervening methods, formed a Primordial Taiyin Dao Seed, and regained feeling in her feet as Fu Henghua fled from Fu Yinggu’s search.

Fu Henghua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to develop a method for transforming materials through Creation, briefly glimpsed the Creation True Talisman, and devised several incomplete cultivation texts. He hid two of the texts in turtle shells for future discoverers and left Luogui Island after realizing night had fallen.

• Fu Henghua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to derive a Nine Yin Wood Register and succeeded in transforming Coiling Serpent Yarrow into a Nine Yin Serpent Vine after many failed attempts.
• Fu Henghua infused an ordinary stone with Creation True Essence, prompting him to recognize that the Golden Register and Wood Register were both expressions of Creation.
• Fu Henghua's Creation Dao Seed evolved into the Creation True Talisman, provoking a lightning tribulation that wounded him before he escaped inside the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome's turtle shell.
• Fu Henghua wrote an incomplete Heavenly Talisman Scripture, then devised the Golden Inscription Origin Compendium and Myriad Spirits Mirror of Wood Arts, along with further metal, wood, and five-element cultivation texts.
• Fu Henghua hid the Taiji Talisman and Five-Colored Stone containing two Heavenly Books inside turtle shells and cast them into the sea before leaving Luogui Island at night.

Fu Henghua and Dongfang Yunqi discussed the Taiyin Heavenly Book and whether a Heavenly Book could endure changing eras. Dongfang Yunqi offered Fu Henghua an immortal scripture and a Dui trigram diagram as payment to help her deduce cultivation methods, leaving him eager to study the diagram and show it to Fu Danwei.

• Fu Henghua and Dongfang Yunqi discussed how Taiyin contained both yin and yang, and she explained that Heavenly Books could adapt their inheritances as the cultivation era changed.
• Dongfang Yunqi considered seeking Taiyin Palace and its immortal artifact to help her mother survive the Three Calamities, while asking Fu Henghua to help deduce her cultivation methods.
• Dongfang Yunqi offered Fu Henghua the Ninefold Wind-Supporting Immortal Scripture, which he accepted as a deposit despite finding it less useful than he had hoped.
• Dongfang Yunqi offered Fu Henghua a Dui trigram diagram as future compensation and warned him to keep it secret; Fu Henghua recognized it as part of the Book of Changing Heaven and the Eight Extremes.
• Fu Henghua agreed that Fu Danwei could examine the diagram and began thinking about studying the Redwood Box of Cloudflame Immortal Palace.

Fu Henghua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to deduce cultivation arts, found two more fragments of the Eight Extremes Scripture, and upgraded the Tome into a treasure. As a sudden cold tide swept Yanlong, he and his companions spread fireseeds to protect people, then he spotted a pattern that might lead to a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s immortal estate.

• Fu Henghua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to organize and deduce cultivation methods, but the Taiyin Heavenly Book’s Foundation Establishment section remained incomplete.
• Fu Henghua found the Kan Trigram in his mother’s dowry chest and the Zhen Trigram in the Earthflame Island book chest; together with the Dui Trigram, they upgraded the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome into a treasure artifact.
• Fu Henghua emerged from seclusion during a sudden June cold tide and joined Fu Xuanxing and Liu Xu in placing fireseeds across the frozen reefs, rescuing mortals along the way.
• Fu Henghua returned the Dui Trigram to Dongfang Yunqi and gave her two revised Taiyin Foundation Establishment methods for her to assess.
• Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanxing saw Wei Family cultivators also spreading fireseeds, and Fu Henghua refrained from pursuing their family because the cold tide required cooperation.
• Fu Henghua divined from the fireseeds’ pattern and invited Liu Xu and Fu Xuanxing to explore what he believed was a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s immortal estate.

Fu Henghua, Fu Xuanxing, and Liu Xu discovered Fire Phoenix Daoist’s hidden Firecloud Palace and entered its trial grounds. As the Wei Family raised a Spirit Realm Formation to defend Four Return Island, Fu Henghua’s family sought the Heaven-Escape Talisman that could counter it.

• Fu Xuanxing counted thirty-three Immovable Reefs, and Fu Henghua used a chain and an underwater route to locate a hidden Spirit Disc beneath one of them.
• The three found ruins on the lakebed and Fu Henghua opened a golden passage into Fire Phoenix Daoist’s Firecloud Palace using a secret incantation.
• Fu Henghua, Fu Xuanxing, and Liu Xu paid their respects at the entrance, passed the Eight-Trigram Mirror, and reached seven gates that offered different trials.
• Fu Tiancang learned of the secret vault as the Wei Family activated a Spirit Realm Formation around Four Return Island, and he sent Fu Xiangfeng to find Fu Henghua and bring back the Six-Rank Heaven-Escape Talisman.
• Fu Henghua urged Liu Xu and Fu Xuanxing to seek durable rewards in the trials and asked them to look for several treasures, including the Heaven-Escape Talisman that could counter formations.

Fu Xuanxing and Heng Hua entered separate trials in the Firecloud Secret Vault, while Liu Xu faced a punishing first challenge. Outside, the Fu Family prepared for the Wei Family’s response, and Wei Shihui resisted the bait as the Grand Elder arranged further pressure and negotiations.

• Fu Xuanxing chose the Carefree Gate, Heng Hua entered the Carry On the Past and Open the Future Gate, and Liu Xu chose the Inquiry Dao Gate, where a Golden Core puppet blocked his path.
• Heng Hua used earth-made creatures and soldiers to dig through a mountain after the trial prohibited mountain-shifting arts.
• Fu Xuanxing shared food and money with people in trouble, then directed them to the palace’s supplies so he could reach the next gate without taking on endless burdens.
• Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Liuhui, Xiaoyu, and Hengshou found the Firecloud Secret Vault entrance closed and set defensive formations around the Immovable Reef to keep the Wei Family away.
• Wei Shihui refused to pursue the secret vault’s Soul-Formation Pill, explaining that seeking it at the last moment could damage his Dao heart, while the Grand Elder prepared for negotiations with cultivators from every quarter.

Fu Henghua dismantled two of Senior Fire Phoenix’s trials to claim their treasures, while Fu Xuanxing passed the three trials and explored the treasure vault. After the group emerged, Heng Hua used the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome to attack the Wei Family cultivators and loudly advertised a talisman to draw out more opponents.

• Fu Henghua broke the Mountain-Shifting Talisman’s counter-curse, moved the earthen mountain, and refined its Earth Spirit Origin Peak with Breath Soil, ruining the first trial.
• Fu Xuanxing failed to reach the end of the third trial, kicked over its waterskin, and passed; he took the Return Heaven, Turn Sun Talisman, a Six-Rank Heaven-Escape Talisman, and the Twofold Heart-Protecting Mirror from the vault.
• Liu Xu admitted he had abandoned the second trial and chose a Taiyin Sword Pellet and Taiyin God-Slaying Radiance as his rewards.
• Fu Henghua found and refined the Cloud-Tide Vast-Sea Bottle in the second trial, then passed the oath-based third trial and took the Fire Phoenix Daoist’s inheritance and other treasures.
• Fu Henghua and the others emerged to find the Wei Family cultivators watching them, so Heng Hua used the Five Elements Mountain Method to strike them and broadcast that Fu Xuanxing had obtained a Six-Rank Heaven-Escape Talisman.
