Arc 5The Heavenly Azure Ruins
Lu Changzhi prepared the Five Symbols Sect for the Heavenly Azure Ruins, where his group explored the ruins as Qin Jiuxiao reached the summit and appeared to claim the saint’s inheritance. A Dongfang Clan ambush led to a battle against the Five Symbols Sect elders, and new spatial fluctuations began as the conflict ended.
- Lu Changzhi gained the Battle Heaven Sacred Physique, brought Gu Chen through its dangerous transformation, and led his group into the Heavenly Azure Ruins.
- Lu Changzhi befriended the Iron-Armored Brown Ape, planted Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree seeds near a spirit vein, and stayed away from the main trials while Five Symbols Sect disciples explored the ruins.
- Qin Jiuxiao and Gu Chen passed the Nine Azure Bridges trials, and Qin Jiuxiao reached the summit and appeared to receive the Heavenly Azure Saint’s inheritance.
- Dongfang Hong led more than three hundred Dongfang Clan members in an ambush, and Qin Jiuxiao, the sect elders, and Lu Changzhi’s group were caught in the fighting.
- Li Qingfeng protected the juniors and fought Dongfang Hong until Gu Qingyang and hundreds of Five Symbols Sect elders arrived to surround the Dongfang Clan.
- Gu Qingyang suppressed Dongfang Hong’s attempted self-destruction, and the surviving Dongfang Clan members surrendered.
- The Five Symbols Sect elders searched the unconscious Qin Jiuxiao and discussed turning the saint’s tower into a trial site as spatial fluctuations spread through the ruins.
