Yu Luan brought Dongfang Yunqi news of the fighting in Yanlong, and Dongfang persuaded Shangguan Xiaoyue not to aid the Wei Family so they could remain on good terms with the Fu Family. Meanwhile, Fu Henghua reconstructed Fire Phoenix Daoist’s Shan Li calendar with a bronze Fusang tree and began studying how its qi circulation resonated with a Foundation Establishment method.

• Yu Luan told Dongfang Yunqi that Wei Shihui had left Yanlong after fighting twelve Golden Core Cultivators, and Dongfang worried that Fu Danwei might not leave seclusion.
• Dongfang Yunqi learned that the Demon Cult had approached Shangguan Xiaoyue to help Wei Shihui attain the Dao, and she urged her mother to avoid involvement with the Wei Family.
• Shangguan Xiaoyue agreed not to give the Fu Family the complete Myriad Qi of Heaven and Earth Diagram, but offered to share her own years of comprehension.
• Fu Henghua struggled to decipher Fire Phoenix Daoist’s cultivation insights, which were based on a geographical Shan Li system rather than the familiar Myriad Qi diagram.
• Fu Henghua used a bronze Fusang tree, ten Golden Crows, and a map to reconstruct the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect’s ten-month, five-season calendar and its Five Elements qi circulation.
• Fu Henghua placed a Foundation Establishment puppet beneath the Fusang tree and recorded how its Dao root resonated with the Divine Land Era’s primordial qi.

Zhou Xiao explained how ancient calendar systems and competing Dao lineages shaped the understanding of heaven and earth’s myriad qi as Fu Henghua reconstructed Fire Phoenix Daoist’s cultivation art. Henghua discovered that the Shan Li calculations led him back to an outdated version of his family’s Myriad Qi Diagram, leaving him to lament the seven days he had spent reproducing it.

• Zhou Xiao emerged from seclusion, reaffirmed his path, and told Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xiangfeng that he would not rush to form his core.
• Zhou Xiao joined Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xiangfeng at Central Palace Mountain and explained how cultivation-art deduction depended on understanding heaven and earth’s myriad qi.

Fu Henghua abandoned his Shan Li calculations and discovered that Fu Tongjun had come to Luogui Island to recruit him for an attack on Four Return Island. He agreed to help plan the breach, which left the group preparing to gather allies for a strike while the Wei Family was vulnerable.

• After Fu Henghua rested, Zhou Xiao and Jin Xian'e continued studying his Shan Li diagram, while Henghua advised Fu Xiangfeng that the calculations could help his cultivation.
• Fu Henghua, Fu Xuanxing, and Hengshou found Fu Tongjun in the yarrow grass thicket, where she confronted them with Human-Shaped Gu and a Fire Toad Gu.
• Fu Xuanxing attacked the Fire Toad Gu, and Henghua captured it in a jade bottle while Hengshou stopped Fu Tongjun from rescuing it.
• Fu Tongjun revealed that she had gathered several Five Elements Gu and asked Fu Henghua to join an assault on Four Return Island while Wei Shihui was away and Wei Zhilin was held back.
• Fu Henghua judged that Four Return Island could be breached without its Golden Core defenders and told Fu Tongjun to bring Liuhui, Fu Xiangfeng, and Nineteenth Uncle.

Fu Henghua and his companions sailed toward Four Return Island, where the Wei Family’s defenses had trapped invading cultivators in bloody battles fought with Dao Soldiers. As Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Xuanxing tried to spare the soldiers, Henghua gave Xiaoyu the power and means to join their efforts.

• Fu Henghua took Fu Heyi, Fu Xuanxing, Fu Xiangfeng, and Xiaoyu aboard the Pursuing Cloud Boat and set course for Four Return Island.

• Fu Henghua guided the boat toward Fu Xingqi’s forces while Fu Xuanxing cut through an ice wall to help Bao Family cultivators advance.
• Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Xuanxing attacked Wei Family barriers with wind and fire to reduce Dao Soldier casualties, despite Fu Heyi warning them against intervening for other families.
• Henghua gave Xiaoyu the Cloud-Tide Vast-Sea Bottle and used a prepared painting to transform her into a white-robed immortal maiden, urging her to help the Dao Soldiers.

Fu Henghua joined the battle and demonstrated how his Spirit Portraits could pass on cultivation and fight, then advised Fu Xingqi and Fu Qixiang as they faced Wei Family forces. After helping Fu Qixiang defeat her opponent and restoring some of her mana, he watched Fu Xingqi bring down the banyan wall and remained surrounded by protective Dao Soldiers.

• Xiaoyu absorbed Water Spirit qi through her Cloud-Tide Vast-Sea Bottle, and Fu Henghua's Spirit Portrait guided her to transform it into Yi-Wood True Essence.
• Fu Henghua summoned a Spirit Ape from a painting, and its staff shattered the Heaven Gate and the Immovable Reef before the phantom returned to the portrait.
• Fu Henghua explained the banyan wall's weakness to Fu Xingqi, who transformed his star soldiers into a river of starlight and joined Fu Henghua on the Pursuing Cloud Boat.
• Fu Henghua advised Fu Qixiang to weave Spirit-Cloud Silk, Flame-Cloud Brocade, and an Eight Trigrams Cloudlight Sash, helping her defeat a Wei Family cultivator and burn another to ashes.
• Fu Henghua restored Fu Qixiang's mana with Creation True Essence, while Fu Xingqi's Heavenly River Water Soldiers brought down the banyan wall and surrounded Fu Henghua for protection.

Fu Qixiang awakened the Star Observation bloodline talent while Fu Henghua encouraged Fu Xingqi to learn stellar arts. The group entered the inner island chain, where the Wei Family’s storm and tide magic threatened their advance.

• Fu Henghua restored Xiaoyu and the others’ mana, then arranged for Fu Qixiang to study new cloud textiles with Fu Tongjun and receive an Illusory Cloud Butterfly spirit pet.
• Fu Qixiang experienced a Spirit Qi Eruption and awakened Star Observation, delighting Fu Heyi and prompting Fu Henghua to reassure Fu Xingqi and offer him star arts.
• A hundred li away, Fu Xuange empowered three thousand War-Soul Dao Soldiers with All-Heavens Star Baleful Force and defeated a Mystic Womb cultivator at Whirlwind Islet.
• The Pursuing Cloud Boat entered the inner island chain amid a storm, and Fu Henghua identified the Wei Family’s weather and tide attacks as the Five Ghost Tide-Pushing Art.

Heng Hua seized a Tide-Riding Banner used to command eight hundred Water Ghosts and discovered that it had been made through the slaughter of an island’s inhabitants. Zhou Xiao arrived to help, captured a plague envoy with three hundred thousand wronged souls, and confronted the Nine-Ghost Daoist on Jadeglow Islet.

• Heng Hua used the Five-Ghost Transference Art to steal the Tide-Riding Banner, then recalled its Water Ghosts and suppressed the banner inside Xiaoyu’s Cloud-Tide Vast-Sea Bottle.
• Heng Hua calculated that a Ghost-Subjugation Daoist had created the banner by drowning eight hundred Whirlwind Islet residents, and he began communicating with the wronged Water Ghosts.
• The Nine-Ghost Daoist learned that his banner had been taken and sent a plague envoy toward Heng Hua’s group.
• Zhou Xiao arrived on Huang Qiong and released three hundred thousand wronged souls from Wei Zhiwen’s Demon Banner, which dragged the plague envoy into the banner.
• Zhou Xiao explained that the Heaven-Yin Hermit had devised a path to an upper third-grade Dao Elixir, then called the Nine-Ghost Daoist a traitor as four Ghost Kings emerged from Jadeglow Islet.

• The Heaven-Yin Boy subdued the five Plague Gods, formed and swallowed a Plague Emperor Golden Core, then freed the eight hundred water ghosts and offered Heng Hua his mantle, which Heng Hua refused.
• The Heaven-Yin Boy gave the red-robed Daoist to the group and struck at the Wei Family's defenses before revealing Wei Shihui's battle against twelve Golden Core Cultivators.
• The Heaven-Yin Boy explained that the Fu, Bao, Yin, and Cheng families had rallied allies to keep outsiders from interfering, and the Pursuing Cloud Boat advanced toward Four Return Island.

The four allied families attacked Four Return Island while Fu Henghua discovered that the Wei Family had likely evacuated its False Core cultivators. Wei Xuanyi and Wei Danting planned to threaten the alliance by detonating the island, as Wei Family fugitives were intercepted in northwest Yanlong and Dongfang Yunqi sought Jade Sage Pavilion’s help.

• Fu Henghua dispelled the mountain wall’s Heart-Shaking Curse pressure, then warned the allied forces to retreat before Four Return Island’s talisman towers fired; the four families repelled the lightning and fought off Wei Family reinforcements.
• Fu Henghua examined Four Return Island’s living auras and concluded that its False Core cultivators had already left; a disguised Seventh Miss agreed that Heavenly Wisdom Hall had used the island chains to buy time for their escape.
• Wei Xuanyi and Wei Danting decided to treat Four Return Island as an abandoned pawn and threaten to detonate it, hoping the deaths of its mortals and damage to the Four-Gate Subduing Dragon Formation would force concessions.
• In northwest Yanlong, Bao and Cheng Family sect cultivators blocked five returning Wei Family cultivators and lured two into using stolen sect treasures, which turned on their users and carried them away for punishment.
• Dongfang Yunqi informed Jade Sage Pavilion about the Profound Void Sect’s destruction, hoping to relieve pressure on the Fu Family.

Heng Hua, Fu Tongjun, and Fu Xuanxing infiltrated Four Return Island and discovered the Wei Family had planted a million Detonation Talismans in its Spirit Vein.

• Zhang poisoned the group with Thousand-Day Drunk, but Fu Tongjun countered with her Heart-Seizing Gu while Fu Xuanxing subdued him.
• Heng Hua revealed that he had poisoned everyone in the tavern, placed a Golden Hoop on Zhang, and prepared to question him about stopping the explosion.

Heng Hua and Fu Tongjun infiltrated Four Return Island’s underground network and disabled the Wei Family’s detonation nodes while the Fu Family’s hurricane battered the island. As the Wei Family’s allies and enemies clashed elsewhere, Heng Hua unleashed the Five Elements Mountain and Fu Tongjun joined the assault, leaving the island’s battle underway.

• Wei Xuanyi sent the Fu Family a threat to destroy Four Return Island with its mortals, but the Fu Family kept the message from the other families and continued the hurricane.
• Heng Hua, Fu Tongjun, Fu Xuanxing, and Zhang Yu found and sealed detonation-talisman nodes in the underground passages, while Heng Hua and Fu Tongjun split up to search for the remaining sites.
• Heng Hua disrupted a Wei Family cultivator’s attempt to refine an Origin Core, then entered the central chamber and freed a woman’s head that had been imprisoned there.
• Fu Tongjun sealed more detonation nodes with Darknether Iceglow Shields and Human-Shaped Gu, forced Zhang Yu to swear loyalty, and killed Wei Family cultivators along the way.

• Fu Henghua confronted the Wei Family’s forces and used Five Elements Mountain, Soul-Shaking attacks, and five-element lightning to break their formation and defeat their cultivators.
• Fu Tongjun arrived and slaughtered the Wei Family’s Qi Refinement disciples with her Hundred Gu Formless Sword.

• Cultivators from the four families moved the mortals away and took positions on Four Return Island as the battle continued.
• Liu Xu received the Demon Banner from Zhou Xiao and released three hundred thousand aggrieved souls, which attacked and killed the Wei Family’s direct-line cultivators.
• Yin Yuanping called the Wei Family’s destruction retribution for its years of wrongdoing.

Wei Shihui’s attempt to create a totem and destroy Coiling Dragon Island failed when Fu Danwei unleashed his sword, leaving the Wei Family’s fortune utterly shattered.

• Fu Henghua raised Five Elements Mountain with the strength of the three hundred thousand wronged souls, and Fu Beidou and Wang Mao used it to trap and kill Wei Zhilin.
• Fu Beidou recited the Northern Dipper Rebirth Mantra as the wronged souls and cultivators from all five families joined the chant and sent their dead onward.

After the Fu Family helped defeat the Wei Family, Fu Henghua learned the history of Six Winds Hall and received four ancient cultivation methods from Ling Shaoyin, a dying Ling Clan cultivator. He then discovered pre-Overturned Continent records of spiritual energy measurements that could help the Fu Family restore the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon.

• Ling Shaoyin told Fu Xuanxing that the Ling Clan had left an inheritance on Four Return Island, and Fu Yinggu sent Fu Xiaoyu and Fu Hengshou to retrieve it.
• Ling Shaoyin asked Fu Henghua to accompany her outside, where she explained that the six families descended from Fufeng Palace and had once served the sleeping Wind Sovereign.
• Ling Shaoyin gave Fu Henghua three Qi Refining methods and one Foundation Establishment method, and warned him not to pursue the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon's Soul Formation chapter.
• Ling Shaoyin died, and Fu Henghua conjured an image of Lingyun Island to comfort her departing soul.
• Fu Yinggu showed Fu Henghua a chest of old numerical records, which he recognized as pre-Overturned Continent measurements of heaven and earth's myriad qi.
• Fu Henghua ordered the Fu Family's method derivation and divination experts to gather at Coiling Dragon Island so they could use the records to restore the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon.

Fu Heng Hua reconstructed the Divine Land Myriad Qi geomantic model, gained the Hetu Luoshu inheritance, and began helping the Fu Family deduce the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon. With the Wei Family destroyed, Fu Danwei set three rules for the Eastern Region and invited the other families to hear the completed cultivation method when it was ready.

• Fu Xiazhai left the Four Return Island negotiations after receiving word of the gathering at Coiling Dragon Island, and Fu Baixiong demanded the spirit veins as the Fu Family's main share.
• Fu Heng Hua returned to Coiling Dragon Island, summoned the family to Wind-Listening Platform, and worked with Zhou Xiao to reconstruct the Divine Land Myriad Qi geomantic model.
• The completed model brought the Fu Family cultivators into enlightenment, and Fu Heng Hua received the Heaven-Bestowed Hetu Luoshu and drew an Eight Trigrams pattern on the Divine Luo Heavenly Tome.
• Fu Heng Hua and Fu Ruiying began deducing the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon after receiving its chapters and Qi Refining General Outline, while the Fu Family bought Jade Puppets for the work.
• Fu Danwei learned that the Wei Family's mortal relatives had also died, then set three rules for the Eastern Region: do not bully or harm fellow cultivators, do not persecute mortals used as Dao Soldiers, and join the effort to defeat the water demons.
• The three families accepted Fu Danwei's rules, and he promised to invite them to hear the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon once the Fu Family made progress.

• Fu Liuhui explained that the four families had stopped investigating the massacre on Four Return Island and that surviving Wei Family cultivators were imprisoned on Five Elements Mountain.
• Fu Liuhui described how Fu Hengshou enforced Fu Henghua’s Five Punishments, which bound the Wei prisoners to the mountain and subjected them to harsh sentences.
• A pure wind and laughter came from Wind-Listening Platform, so Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Liuhui, Fu Xuanxing, and Fu Tongjun hurried there to see whether the others had succeeded.

Fu Henghua and the Fu Family created a new Ninefold Wind-Supporting Immortal Scripture suited to the present era, then learned that the family possessed the Xun Trigram from the Eight Extremes Scripture. The chapter ended with Fu Henghua fleeing Fu Danwei’s promised punishment as the family prepared to share parts of the cultivation method with the other three families.

• Fu Henghua replaced the ancient scripture’s eight-direction wind foundation with nine distinct winds, and the Fu Family cultivators helped devise their Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment methods.
• Fu Henghua completed the Ninefold Wind-Supporting Immortal Scripture’s nine wind methods and explained why even its strongest Golden Core fell short of a Heavenly Book.
• Fu Ruiying showed Fu Henghua the family’s Xun Trigram and explained that it had inspired mysteries within the Wind-Supporting Immortal Canon.

• Fu Henghua accepted Fu Tongjun's challenge and sealed Luogui Island behind a wind wall while the others waited outside.
