108 Maidens of Destiny

Zhao Hanyan and Su Xing are captured by a powerful Demon Eagle named Green-feathered Storm. Su Xing manages to kill a chick to distract the eagle temporarily, allowing them to escape into a cave tunnel. The chase continues as Dong Junqing and Wu Xinjie pursue the eagle, while An Suwen provides medical aid to Lin Yingmei. Inside the cave, Zhao Hanyan and Su Xing narrowly avoid Green-feathered Storm's wrath, finding refuge from its powerful gusts in a narrow passage.

Su Xing and Princess Ling Yan are trapped in a narrow cavern due to Zhao Hanyan's fall. She is pressed against Su Xing, feeling both aroused and frightened. Su Xing, despite his initial discomfort, manages to suppress his urges with the Absolute Sincerity Soul Technique. They discuss their predicament and decide to try breaking through a guano-covered tunnel. After some effort, they successfully clear it and emerge into fresh air, finding themselves in an immense pool. Su Xing notices that one of their flying swords seems special, resembling a willow tree. Princess Ling Yan, still embarrassed, retreats behind a stone, warning Su Xing not to follow.

Zhao Hanyan takes Intertwined Branch Sword from Su Xing as she leaves to find Junqing. Su Xing doubts its significance but learns it's a legendary couple's weapon binding their souls. Ling Yan and Dong Junqing clash over Su Xing, leading to a tense standoff. They encounter a One-eyed Dragon, which they defeat using the Intertwined Branch Swords, linking their fates further. The Purple Star Pearl nears shattering, necessitating cooperation against the Void Liangshan's dangers.

Su Xing uses his Purple Star Blooming Water Divine Thunder to weaken the One-eyed Dragon while Dong Junqing and Lin Yingmei launch coordinated attacks with the Yin Yang Cross Slash and Long Blizzard Nights. Zhao Hanyan, using the Purple Star Pearl, delivers a fatal blow that disintegrates into an Outlaw Writ Pendant, which turns out to be the Liangshan Outlaw Jade Pendant. Zhao Hanyan and Su Xing exchange banter, with Su Xing cleverly suggesting they use Void Liangshan's resources for further training. Shi Yuan stores away the One-eyed Dragon soul, while Wu Xinjie and others agree to stay in Void Liangshan for more training opportunities, despite knowing Zhao Hanyan’s betrayal.

Princess Ling Yan ponders Su Xing's final words and their Intertwined Branches contract, considering rescinding it with Vega’s Tears. Meanwhile, in the Void Liangshan, Su Xing and Shi Yuan gather Clear Sky Feathers from the Green-feathered Storm nest while Wu Xinjie refines the Blooming Water Spirit Mixing Pill using Spirit Green Bamboo's pure spirit energy. They decide to retrieve the Liangshan Outlaw Jade Pendant but find no time due to the Purple Star Pearl nearing shattering. Su Xing then uses his blooming water divine thunder and puppets to lure and attack a severely injured Crying Infant Demon Beast, securing their return with valuable items.

Su Xing and his team face off against a Sixth Rank Prehistoric Demon Crying Infant in the ocean. Su Xing uses the Blue Water Turtle Dragon Trident to trap and subdue the creature, while Lin Yingmei and Shi Yuan attack with spear techniques and body maneuvers. Wu Xinjie employs Middle Grade Talismans for additional support. The Crying Infant fights back but is ultimately overwhelmed by their combined efforts. After the battle, Su Xing retrieves a Purple Star Marked Star Jade Pendant from the defeated creature, which he later learns is an ancient artifact known as the Abode Writ Plate of legend. Simultaneously, on land, a group of Star Cultivators encounter a powerful demon wielding an Ancient Demon Sword, leading to a fierce battle that ends with the Cultivators' defeat and consumption by the demon.

The Detective Star Green Eyed Tiger and her master confront a powerful figure who claims the Star Duels for his "Holy Lord" and uses black qi to incapacitate their master with a blood-curdling scream. The girl, wearing Black Dragon Armor Skirt, takes away Green Eyed Tiger's weapon and sends her flying. Su Xing observes from the Divining Star Platform, noting the newcomer is a Galaxy Middle Stage Star Master. Bao Xiaoyu and Han Yu thank Su Xing for helping them obtain their Outlaw Writs; Bao Xiaoyu reveals she wants to find her parents and establish an Immortals' Abode with Su Xing's help. Meanwhile, Yan Poxi at the Purple Star Main Hall faces a new batch of contenders for the Purple Star Jade Pendant, intrigued by the interesting Star Masters present.

In the border region of Calm Prefecture near Cloudcover Empire, Su Xing arrives at Stone Tablet City, a bustling metropolis with imposing defenses and a storied past. He is accompanied by Lin Yingmei and others, posing as influential family members on tour. Jiang Yundao, a Galaxy Middle Stage cultivator from the court, presents the Devil Suppressing Stele, recounting its history of repelling Cloudcover Empire's demons. Su Xing learns about the Heavenly Prosperity Establishment's recruitment for a master by a mysterious Heavenly Star, with grueling trials including lifting copper lions and military slays. Despite skepticism, Su Xing decides to observe. The establishment's owner, Li Shishi, is rumored to be behind this elaborate setup, possibly as more than just a publicity stunt. Su Xing and his group enter the bustling restaurant, where they witness the challenging tests for potential candidates.

Su Xing demonstrates his extraordinary abilities by shrinking the thousand jin copper lions and effortlessly passing a series of language challenges with Li Shishi's maid Little Yi. His performance impresses the guests at Heavenly Prosperity Establishment, but Qin Shaoyou remains skeptical. When asked to prove his Star Cultivator status through a public showdown, Su Xing agrees. He successfully passes the three checkpoints—demonstrating linguistic prowess and outsmarting Qin Shaoyou in antithetical couplets. The event leaves everyone in awe of Su Xing's talents, though Qin Shaoyou is left feeling humbled.

Wu Xinjie and her sisters compete in a couplet challenge with Su Xing, showcasing their literary prowess. Su Xing proposes an "Absolute For All Eternity" couplet: "Willow pond locked in smoke," which stumps everyone but Wu Xinjie, who responds with "Clogged town building burned in fog." Impressed, Su Xing admires her response as clever and profound. Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Prosperity Establishment, Zhao Cheng, the Fourth Prince of Great Liang, expresses his intention to contract a Heavenly Star, showing interest in Su Xing despite his background. The chapter highlights the literary skills of the characters and sets up tension with Zhao Cheng's ambitions.

Su Xing searches for a place to train his spirit vessel in Cloudcover but finds none suitable due to the widespread cultivation areas of Liangshan. He decides to join a sect secretly to use their resources, though it's too late now. Back at the Stone Tablet Inn, Su Xing and his companions refine an ancient sword and shield, enhancing them with his Star Energy. The girls continue their tasks: Shi Yuan upgrades her puppet mechanism, Lin Yingmei takes guard duty, while An Suwen works on creating pill talismans. On the final day, Su Xing meets Jiang Yundao, a Daoist guardian of the Devil Suppressing Stele. Jiang warns Su Xing about the upcoming Star Duel, mentioning that Emperor Liang's Fourth Prince has high hopes for the Heavenly Star position. Su Xing remains indifferent and tells Jiang to pass on his message: fairness or unfairness doesn't matter; what matters is one's strength. Jiang departs, leaving Su Xing with a newfound respect from his companions.

Zhao Cheng suspects Su Xing might be a threat and orders him to be sacrificed under the Devil Suppressing Stele during the Military Slays Six Generals event. Su Xing, having reached Nebula Late Stage cultivation, faces five other Star Cultivators in an unexpected battle. Despite their attempts to use talismans and artifacts, Su Xing easily overpowers them with his Heavenly Lightning Earthly Fire Sword technique. The remaining two opponents are quickly subdued by Su Xing's speed and strength, leaving him as the sole survivor.

Jiang Yundao watches in amazement as Zhao Cheng dispatches five Nebula Stage cultivators with ease, employing a high-grade talisman and the Black Evil Inkstone to overpower Su Xing's attacks. Su Xing counters with the Crying Infant’s Ancient Lost Treasure Earth Shield, repelling Zhao Cheng's black smoke and supernatural attacks. Zhao Cheng then reveals his Crying Ghost Saber, another Nebula Magic Weapon, but is ultimately outmatched by Su Xing's Heaven Sword and defensive artifacts. Despite using the Devil Suppressing Stele to amplify his power, Zhao Cheng fails to defeat Su Xing, who remains calm and strategic throughout the battle.

Zhao Cheng uses a blood ritual to break the Devil Suppressing Seals and summon Ghost Cavalry Divine Generals, turning Stone Table City into chaos. Jiang Yundao warns of the danger but Zhao Cheng is confident he can control them. Su Xing faces off against these formidable warriors, while Lin Yingmei steps in with her Arctic Star Serpent Spear. Despite their valiant efforts, the Ghost Cavalry King's power overwhelms them, and Zhao Cheng orders more attacks. Wu Xinjie and others intervene but are met with fierce resistance. The battle intensifies as Zhao Cheng attempts to seal Little Yi, revealing her identity as the Heavenly Star.

Zhao Cheng, excited to find Yan Qing, the Skillful Star Wanderer, attempts to force a contract with her but is swiftly rebuffed. Yan Qing, displaying her formidable martial prowess and Destined Star Weapons like the Yin Yang Pisces Fists and Three Arrows Lethal Crossbow, engages Zhao Cheng in intense combat. Despite Zhao Cheng's powerful Ghost Cavalry King, he struggles against three Star Generals, Lin Yingmei and Wu Xinjie. Yan Qing's Yellow Rank Style boxing, Swallowflash Samsara, delivers a near-fatal blow. Realizing his mistake in fully removing the Devil Suppressing Seals, Zhao Cheng flees with the Ghost Cavalry King temporarily incapacitated by the Devil Suppressing Stele. The chapter ends with the Ghost Cavalry King preparing to toy with Zhao Cheng, hinting at further conflict.

Wu Xinjie and her allies face off against the Ghost Cavalry King, a formidable opponent who has reached the Matchless Realm. His weapon, the Ghost’s Godsbane, unleashes terrifying attacks that nearly overwhelm Lin Yingmei and Yan Qing. Wu Xinjie orders Su Xing and Lin Yingmei to resonate their Star Crests for enhanced power. Lin Yingmei enters the Ten Thousand Techniques Realm, breaking through the Ghost Cavalry King's defenses with her spear. Despite his strength, the Ghost Cavalry King struggles against Wu Xinjie’s coordination and Yan Qing's rapid attacks. However, he retaliates by transforming his weapon into an immense Evil Dragon. The battle intensifies as both sides push their limits, with each attack bringing them closer to victory or defeat.

Su Xing and Yan Qing face off against the Ghost Cavalry King. Su Xing uses the Chaotic Tail Escape to protect Lin Yingmei from an attack that nearly severs her right arm. Wu Xinjie intervenes but is overwhelmed by the Ghost Cavalry King's speed. Yan Qing, moved by Su Xing's bravery, unleashes her legendary Three Arrows Lethal Crossbow, striking the Ghost Cavalry King with two arrows while severely injuring herself. Despite the fierce battle, Su Xing continues to defend his friends, using his Blooming Water Divine Thunder to counterattack. The Ghost Cavalry King ultimately overpowers Su Xing, who is critically injured but remains defiant until Yan Qing's final arrow kills him.

The Three Arrows Lethal Crossbow fired by Yan Qing decimated the Ghost Cavalry King's body, leaving him in a state of near-extinction. Su Xing barely caught her, both collapsing to the ground. The Ghost Cavalry King, despite his formidable power, was overwhelmed by the Star Generals' unique abilities and nearly succumbed. He attempted to use his Ghost’s Godsbane and the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique but was ultimately defeated by a mysterious green light that transformed into a torrential rain, severely weakening him. Seeing Su Xing critically injured, Yan Qing decided not to sign a contract with him, much to Wu Xinjie's disappointment. Meanwhile, Emperor Liang was displeased with his Fourth Prince Zhao Cheng for underestimating the Ghost Cavalry King and ordered him to cut off his arm as punishment. The Crimson Star, symbolizing the beginning of a significant event, appeared in various locations, foreshadowing further conflicts.

In Southern Yue Kingdom's Whistling Wind Mountain, Su Xing and his Star Maidens observe the Birth Outline event, drawing in various sects and individuals. A group of cultivators discusses rumors about the Ghost Cavalry King, with one suggesting he was killed by Emperor Liang. Su Xing overhears a green-haired girl predicting that the mysterious Purple Thunder Monster might emerge victorious. Meanwhile, Su Xing's companions speculate on potential Star Duel winners while Su Xing remains focused. The chapter highlights the gathering of powerful figures and the intrigue surrounding the upcoming Birth Outline event.

The atmosphere thickens as a dozen Star Cultivators and Star Generals gather at a small tea house. Su Xing encounters Wu Song, a drunken Star General, who boldly requests a pot of wine. Monk Wine and Meat, recognizing her, speculates she might be Ancestor Qingyi's benefactor. A crowd of five hundred Scattered Star Cultivators arrives, led by the Black Clothes School, setting up a tense standoff. Ancestor Qingyi and his disciples prepare to defend a Heavenly Spirit Grade Birth Outline chest against rival factions. Su Xing watches as chaos ensues with sword fights and fiery attacks from the Scarlet Crane. Despite the danger, Wu Song remains unconcerned, watching the battle contently. The Birth Outline chest signifies the start of the crucial second phase of Maiden Mountain Star Duels, with high stakes for Star Generals seeking rare materials to advance their star weapons.

Su Xing and his allies face a Scarlet Crane and its fiery attacks. Ancestor Qingyi's flying swords manage to kill the crane, but another Birth Outline arrives in the form of a Scarlet Dragon. Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen engage the dragon with their unique skills, while Su Xing uses Divine Thunder techniques. They finally subdue the dragon, but are outpaced by the Inferior Star Living Goddess of Lightning who steals the Heavenly Spirit Chest. Meanwhile, Zhao Heng's second prince, Qingshuang, faces off against a powerful Demon Beast in another part of Southern Yue Kingdom, using her palace axe to devastating effect. The competition for Birth Outlines intensifies across the Azure Dragon Territory.

Su Xing discovers Shi Yuan has gone after the Lightning Goddess, leaving him alone with An Suwen and Lin Yingmei. After retrieving a Heavenly Spirit Chest, they find it contains valuable items including Daybreak Frost Essence and a Snow-winged Cicada Bodice, which Lin Yingmei reluctantly agrees to try on for Su Xing. The girls debate joining a sect for protection, ultimately choosing one that won't delay their current mission or interfere with Su Xing's cultivation. As night falls, Su Xing and Lin Yingmei privately discuss family bonds before Lin Yingmei consents to change into the bodice, leading to intimate moments between them. The next day, they continue planning as powerful sects search for Su Xing due to his arrest warrant.

Wu Xinjie chose the Four Styles School for Su Xing, as it was adept in tool refinement and had some remnants of the former Champion Nine Dragons' glory. The school's token revealed that its previous owner, Yuchi Qingshan, was a great tool refinement scholar. Wu Xinjie also noted the presence of a Clinging Fire Star Domain sword, an Astral Treasure, and discussed potential ways to unlock it. Su Xing planned to assume the identity of Yuchi Qingshan’s disciple to enter the sect legally. On their journey, they encountered a Birth Outline escort with two Cyclops Jinns and sixteen Flying Apsara Blood Centipedes. Su Xing and his companions successfully repelled the attackers, showcasing their strength. Yan Yizhen and Lin Yingmei fought valiantly against the Cyclops Jinns, ultimately securing the treasure chest.

Shi Yuan uses her body techniques to fight a treasure chest and faces off against Cyclops Jinns with Su Xing's help. Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen defeat the monsters while Su Xing stalls them. Shi Yuan finds a chest containing Cloud Patterned Dipper Silver, which she takes after defeating the last Cyclops Jinn. An unexpected visitor in critical condition turns out to be Star Master Yan Wudao of the Azure Dragon Territory, who was handling a sixth-rank demon beast when attacked. He thanks Su Xing for saving him and offers his treasure chest as remuneration.

Su Xing examines the Lifeless Jade given by Yan Wudao, puzzled by his unexpected generosity and high cultivation. Yan Wudao quickly departs with sword light to the Lifeless Hall, where he faces disciplinary action for killing a Sixth Rank Demon Beast on his own. In Cooling Kingdom’s Sun Valley County, rumors spread of an Ancient Demon Beast's appearance, leading to a mysterious young woman entering Jingyang Ridge inn. She orders wine and inquires about the beast before effortlessly breaking through the True Sun Sect's Heavenly Fire Great Array, warning them against signing contracts with unsuitable Star Generals. The scene ends with tension between the sect headmaster and the enigmatic woman.

Xiao'er confronts Wu Song, the Dual Master of Sword and Fist from the 108 Sisters, on Jingyang Ridge. Wu Song's Destined Star Weapon, Noble Frost Demonic Lotus, clashes with Xiao'er's golden light weapon in a fierce battle. Despite their mutual respect, they discuss collaborating to subdue Lin Chong and reclaim a Purple Star Birth Outline. Xiao'er hints that Lin Yingmei, whom Wu Song trusts, has secretly contracted Su Xing. Wu Song is shocked by this revelation. Meanwhile, Su Xing's group reaches the Azure Dragon Territory’s Flaming Eastern Island, where they meet Yang Yanyu, who explains the sect's current state and its history of tool refinement.

Su Xing and Yang Yanyu enter Pure Heart Peak, a stark contrast to Flaming Eastern Island's heat. Su Xing is impressed by the vast, well-structured grounds, including the "Heaven and Earth of the Four Styles" sword and the grand plaza with its inscribed stele. Inside the main hall, Su Xing meets Daoist Master Xuantian, Headmaster of the Four Styles School, who questions him about his master Yuchi Qingshan's fate. Ju Yueke, a prominent figure in the school, arrives and confirms that she has reconciled with Yuchi Qingshan. The Headmaster suggests assigning Su Xing to her school due to their shared cultivation methods, but other First Seats object, leading to a brief dispute over Su Xing’s potential as an apprentice.

Ju Yueke introduces Su Xing to Tang Lianxin and assigns him as his senior brother in the remote Mirror's Flower Stream valley. Tang Lianxin, a scholarly youth with an effeminate name, seems aloof but diligently teaches Su Xing about tool refinement basics. Ju Yueke emphasizes their close interaction and shared living arrangements. Su Xing begins constructing his Immortal’s Abode using his Purple Star Liangshan Outlaw Jade Pendant, absorbing significant spiritual influence over several hours. Inside the abode, he discovers a Firmament Blue Tree with Life Extending Peaches, which could extend life by fifty years if eaten. Despite Tang Lianxin's initial stiffness, Su Xing and the girls eagerly await the opportunity to try one of these miraculous peaches.

Wu Xinjie and Su Xing visit an Immortal's Abode but find it barren after picking just one Life Extending Flat Peach from the tree, which withers completely. Su Xing considers trading this peach for Daoist Master Xuantian’s treasure. After returning to his own Immortal’s Abode, he decides to attempt advancing his cultivation from Nebula Stage to Galaxy Stage. Despite initial success, he faces significant resistance and must strip naked for An Suwen's examination to determine the best course of action. An Suwen uses her medical expertise to help Su Xing, eventually leading to a situation that goes beyond mere medical assistance.

Shi Yuan refines a Copper Man Puppet to Galaxy Stage, enhancing its combat capabilities with Wu Xinjie's guidance. Su Xing emerges from his seclusion, pleased with Shi Yuan’s progress and confident in An Suwen’s upcoming breakthrough. Meanwhile, Tang Lianxin arrives at the Four Styles Sect, where Ju Yueke assigns him an Astral Tool chariot, much to the envy of other cultivators who have been there longer. Tensions rise as old rivalries and jealousies surface among the sect members, setting the stage for future conflicts.

Su Xing's flying sword attack left everyone stunned, with only Tang Lianxin's cold response and Zhou Bao's arrogant taunts breaking the silence. Su Xing mocked Tang Lianxin, causing a commotion among Fire Cloud Peak disciples who demanded an apology. Su Xing used his control over dozens of flying swords to intimidate them, then faced off against Ruan Hongxue, whose fiery whip attacks were deflected by Su Xing's skillful maneuvers. After a tense standoff, Su Xing subdued Ruan Hongxue and took her Fire Dragon Whip, leaving the other disciples in awe and fear. The incident highlighted Su Xing’s power and newfound reputation within the Four Styles Sect.

Tang Lianxin and Su Xing encounter conflict when Su Xing provokes trouble for Tang Lianxin on the Fire Beacon Chariot. Su Xing's actions puzzle Tang Lianxin, who remains indifferent despite Su Xing's attempts to befriend him. They later visit Ghost Chopping Cape, where Su Xing learns about the Falling Cherry Ghost Kingdom and its "Ghost Martial Cultivators." Upon returning, Ruan Hongxue confronts Su Xing with her Fire Cloud Peak disciples, leading to a tense showdown between Su Xing and Jiao Shu. Tang Lianxin intervenes with an Astral Tool, the Weapon Removal Scroll, resolving the conflict. The interaction leads to a closer bond between Su Xing and Tang Lianxin as they discuss tool refinement techniques, particularly the Four Styles of Heaven and Earth.

Su Xing discovers an unconventional method for mastering the Four Styles of refinement in "Four Schools Deep Arts," thanks to Tang Lianxin's notes. The key lies in introducing Earth as a fifth style, allowing mutual generation among Fire, Water, Thunder, and Wind. Su Xing realizes he has the Earth attribute through his Purple Star Transforming Qi, making him potentially the first to achieve this feat in a millennium. Wu Xinjie expresses her desire for Su Xing to learn Water Style refinement from Ju Yueke, who teaches Heavenly Water Heart Flame. Despite his reluctance, Su Xing agrees, understanding Wu Xinjie’s need to contribute during future challenges. They share intimate moments, with Wu Xinjie suggesting she will give him her virginity after the Evil Smiting Hall phase. Meanwhile, An Suwen proposes a training spar between Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen, sparking interest among the Immortal Abode sisters. The sparring begins, with Yan Yizhen launching a powerful Yin Yang Pisces Fist against Lin Yingmei’s Arctic Star Serpent Spear, resulting in a fierce battle. The chapter highlights Su Xing's progress, Wu Xinjie’s devotion, and the developing training dynamics within the Immortal Abode.

Lin Yingmei faces Yan Qing in a fierce battle within the Immortal's Abode. Lin uses her Arctic Star Spear Technique to counter Yan's Yin Yang Pisces boxing, showcasing an almost flawless technique that impresses even Su Xing. Yan Yizhen, another skilled fighter, tries to outmaneuver Lin but is ultimately unable to break through her relentless assault. The battle showcases the power and skill of both fighters, with Su Xing watching intently from the sidelines. Later, Su Xing learns about a labyrinth within the Four Styles School's forbidden zone, prompting him to prepare for an expedition to explore ancient ruins and potentially gain new sword arts.

Su Xing and Wu Xinjie enter the Qiankun Tomb to find Daoist Master Qiankun's grave. Inside, the tomb is filled with complex mechanisms and a Bagua diagram that hides the master’s final resting place. Wu Xinjie uses her knowledge of ancient diagrams to activate a mechanism, revealing a hidden entrance. They descend into a dim underground cavern where Shi Yuan encounters a massive Hundred Corpse Centipede. An Suwen quickly deploys Essence Swallowing Dragons, which devour the centipedes and multiply, clearing the threat efficiently. The group continues deeper, intrigued by the tomb's secrets and the challenges it presents.

More Hundred Corpse Centipedes flooded the hall, creating a chilling scene. Su Xing and company relied on the Essence Swallowing Dragons to repel them with the Five Spirits Blooming Water Immortals Technique. Inside the tomb, they faced an array of Bagua Jinns, each representing one of the eight trigrams. Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen fought valiantly against these powerful foes, while Su Xing provided support. After intense combat, all Bagua Jinns were defeated. The group discovered a Qiankun Daoist's resting place, prompting excitement over potential treasures. The tomb also featured intricate carvings and artifacts from the past thousand years.

Su Yuan questions if this is Daoist Master Qiankun's dwelling. Wu Xinjie confirms it by the inscriptions on a stone stele, which detail the conditions for finding the tomb and receiving special gifts like sarira and Creative Heaven Astral Winds. Su Xing finds a Five Spirits Magic Sarira, further confirming his suspicions. The group discusses the significance of this relic and the challenges to unlock the Creative Heaven Astral Wind Art hidden in the tomb's walls. Su Xing solves the puzzle, gaining knowledge of the Innate Qiankun Escape Technique. After leaving the tomb, they encounter Daoist Master Xuantian, who chastises them for entering a forbidden area but forgives their mistake. He then offers Su Xing two Sword Arts to practice and hints at his desire for Su Xing to marry Ruan Hongxue, Daoist Master Xuantian's granddaughter.

Su Xing was unable to find any high-grade Sword Arts in the Classics Storage Pavilion and chose "One Hundred and Eight Qiankun Overturned Sword Art," which is challenging but potentially useful for his current cultivation level. Daoist Master Xuantian advises Su Xing not to overextend himself, suggesting other Sword Arts that might be more suitable. Su Xing declines these suggestions and departs with a spirit transformation pill from the master. Meanwhile, Shi Yuan and Wu Xinjie discuss Su Xing's growing influence within the sect, while Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen prepare to accompany Wu Xinjie on a mission to solve labyrinths in the Azure Dragon Territory. Su Xing uses flattery to borrow Tang Lianxin’s Fire Beacon Chariot for research purposes. Before their month-long separation, Su Xing gives Wu Xinjie and Lin Yingmei a token of trust and protection, promising to look after them. The girls share intimate moments with Su Xing, highlighting the growing emotional bonds between them.

Su Xing returns to Flaming Eastern Island and finds Tang Lianxin soaking in a hot spring. Initially playful, Su Xing discovers Tang is actually female after she faints from the heat. Su Xing pretends not to notice, preparing lotus seed congee for her. Tang Lianxin becomes upset, warning Su Xing not to inform on her and deciding they will no longer share a room. Su Xing laughs, realizing Tang has regained her composure.

Wu Xinjie and Shi Yuan travel to Jingyang Ridge in search of Lin Yingmei's Harm Star contract. Wu Xinjie reveals the legendary White and Black Unicorn Tiger as Pilgrim Wu Song's star beast. Suddenly, a group of hundred cultivators encircle them, demanding Wu Song sign with their Nine Suns Sect. Wu Song subdues her star beast, sending the intruders into chaos. Meanwhile, Su Xing continues his cultivation in the Purple Star Void Immortal’s Abode and prepares to forge powerful bullets for Silver Blade. In Azure Dragon Territory, Xie Zhenyuan, once considered a top genius, loses a Heavenly Spirit Grade Chest to the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon. The Holy Lord then uses her White Night Dragon Carving Lance to massacre the Giant Whale Gang disciples in retaliation.

Su Xing successfully refined the Clinging Fire Star Domain Sword by removing its forbidden mark using Heaven's Will Water Flame. He and Yan Yizhen then prepared to plunder a Birth Outline near Flaming Eastern Island. Upon arrival, they faced a formidable Sea Mother Demon Beast. The Bo Sea Sword School initiated an attack but struggled against the beast's water attacks. A Star Master named Tong Hua, wielding Blue Waves Heavenly Clear Damask, joined the fight and utilized her Magic Energy Star General abilities to weaken the Sea Mother significantly. Finally, the treasure chest fell, and Tong Hua declared their success. Su Xing admired her keen Star Energy sensitivity during the battle.

Su Xing encounters a formidable enemy when he thinks the Bo Sea Sword School is under attack. A Black Turtle Territory Star Master, dressed in black armor and wielding Devil Smoke Shapeshifting, appears. Su Xing recognizes this as a member of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, greatly impressing him with his maturity. Tong Hua, the Forward Star, reveals herself to be the River Dragon Li Jun, a powerful naval force. The battle intensifies as Li Jun's White Night Dragon Carving Lance and Sea Mother demon beast attack the Bo Sea Sword School cultivators. Despite their efforts, Su Xing uses an Innate Bagua Escape Technique to escape just in time from a hidden attacker, revealing his presence to the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon, who immediately recognizes him as the one who seized the Purple Star Grade Outlaw Writ.

Su Xing faces off against a powerful Black Dragon Armor Shirt girl, using his boxing to counter her five claws. Yan Qing arrives, blocking the girl with Yin Yang Pisces Fists but is soon overwhelmed by the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon's advanced techniques and Two Star Destined Weapon. Su Xing attempts to back Yan Qing up but finds himself in a dire situation against the Holy Lord's formidable skills, including his Lethal Awl and Corrupting Spirit Banner. Despite the odds, Su Xing uses Rock Piercing Water Droplets and his Nebula Magic Weapon Heaven Sword to fight back, showcasing his own strength. The battle intensifies as both sides push their abilities to the limit.

Yan Qing's rapid boxing overwhelmed Li Xiangfei, pushing her to the brink of counterattacking. Li Xiangfei fought back with a powerful sword attack but was forced to retreat by Fan Ming and the Five Chief Demons' Infernal Devil Claws. Yan Yizhen, despite injuries, continued to hold off both opponents. Su Xing, seeing his Heaven Sword under threat, deployed the Corrupting Spirit Banner against the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon's artifacts. The battle between their magic treasures was intense, with both sides sustaining heavy damage before the Corrupting Spirit Banner ultimately broke, leaving Su Xing and Yan Yizhen in a precarious position against their more powerful adversaries.

Su Xing faces a formidable challenge from the Draconic Demon Lord, who unleashes his powerful Nine Phantasms Ten Banes Capital Demon Sword against him. Su Xing defends with his Earth Shield and Blooming Water Divine Thunder but finds himself at a disadvantage. The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon taunts Su Xing, revealing he has used this sword array before, specifically against the strongest Star Master of the Azure Dragon Territory, Xie Zhenyuan. Yan Yizhen and Li Jun join the battle, distracting the Holy Lord momentarily. Su Xing, desperate to turn the tide, reveals his Devil Suppressing Stele, which temporarily weakens the Demon Sword's power. The Holy Lord of Draconic Demon counters with an Astral Gemstone releasing black ants that form a massive cloud. Despite the setback, Su Xing manages to use the Devil Suppressing Stele's magic, causing the Demon Sword to falter.

Su Xing encounters a formidable opponent in the form of the Dragon Demon Lord, who wields powerful Soul Devouring Bugs as a weapon. Su Xing counters with his Clinging Fire Star Domain Sword, which proves effective against the bugs due to their fear of fire. Despite this success, the Dragon Demon Lord summons two Star Generals to aid him, putting Su Xing at a disadvantage. The battle intensifies as Su Xing and Yan Qing face off against the Star Generals, with Su Xing using strategic retreats and his Clinging Fire Star Domain Sword to fend them off. However, their numerical advantage eventually wears down Su Xing's defenses, leaving him in a precarious position despite his valiant efforts.

Su Xing stops Yan Yizhen from using the Three Arrows Lethal Crossbow, warning it's too taxing for her current state. As Su Xing battles the Dragon Demonic Lord and his Star Generals, a white tiger with Wu Song appears, surprising everyone. Wu Song and Xiao’er claim they came to take advantage of a Heavenly Spirit Chest that fell in the area. Despite their warnings not to interfere, the Holy Lord of Draconic Demon attacks, but is swiftly defeated by the White and Black Unicorn Tiger and Wu Song. The tiger's appearance and Wu Song's cold demeanor intimidate Su Xing, who reluctantly agrees to let them take the chest. Yan Yizhen enters the Star Nest as Su Xing watches Wu Song closely, sensing her formidable presence.

Xiao'er questions Su Xing about Lin Yingmei's absence and his decision to let Yan Qing join. Su Xing humorously refers to Xiao'er as his little sister. Wu Song objects to collaborating with a Star Master. Su Xing returns to the Four Styles School, wary of potential trouble from Li Jun and Fan Rui. In the Bamboo House, Su Xing examines his injuries and finds Daybreak Frost and Snow Essence, planning for Lin Yingmei's advancement. Yan Yizhen reveals that Star Beasts are unique to Star Generals and can only appear in the Third Phase Evil Smiting Hall. She then undresses in front of Su Xing, asking to wipe his back as a gesture of gratitude. Su Xing is touched by her sincerity despite feeling he owes more.

Wu Xinjie, Shi Yuan, and Lin Yingmei explore the Heavenly Master Ruins during the Star Duels, finding a Territory Breaking Talisman. They encounter Yu Yuandan, the 105th Healthy Star God of the Dangerous Road, who challenges them but is outmaneuvered by Lin Yingmei's spear techniques. The trio then plans to return to Flaming Eastern Island and gather intelligence on other sects' preparations for the upcoming Purple Star Birth Outline plundering. Meanwhile, Su Xing is in the Void Immortal’s Abode, nearing his breakthrough to Galaxy Stage, much to An Suwen's relief and Yan Yizhen's anticipation.

In Kagoshima Market Square of Falling Blossoms Ghost Kingdom, Su Xing and his companions explore the bustling ore market. They visit a shop named North Kingdom Cold Wind, where Su Xing inspects Ice Kite Arctic Stones. After bargaining with Diao Yu, a shop assistant, he identifies a flaw in her Ice Kite Arctic Stone using his tool refinement skills. Diao Yu reveals that she used a Heart Flame from Scholar Ju Yueke's school to improve the stone, but it was not genuine. Su Xing is impressed by her honesty and accepts the Ice Kite Arctic Stone as a gift from the Extreme Ice Holy Palace. The market square's vibrant atmosphere and Diao Yu's unexpected sincerity create an interesting encounter for Su Xing and his friends.

Su Xing seeks a rare Arctic ore from Diao Yu at the Grass Storage Shop. After receiving a mysterious gift, Su Xing visits Senior Cang Jing, who runs the shop. Su Xing offers his Devil Sealing Sword to exchange for Daybreak Frost and Snow Essence but faces skepticism from Ruojin, one of Cang Jing's bodyguards. Cang Jing confirms he has the essence but demands unusual items in return, showcasing the sword’s unique sealing abilities. Despite initial reluctance, Su Xing successfully exchanges the sword for the essence.

Su Xing and Daoist Cang Jing exchange Daybreak Frost and Snow Essence for a sword Su Xing considers unremarkable. Ruojin objects, but Cang Jing insists it's unique. Su Xing reveals Silver Blade, a modern firearm, shocking Cang Jing. They agree on the essence, and Cang Jing warns Su Xing about Ruojin. Later, Ruojin attempts to extort or fight for the essence, proposing an unarmed duel with his bodyguards against Yan Yizhen. Yan Yizhen easily defeats one bodyguard while the other flees, leaving Ruojin humiliated.

Su Xing praises Kagoshima for its bountiful harvest, acquiring an Ice Kite Arctic Stone and Daybreak Frost And Snow Essence, plus a significant sum from Li Ruojin and the Galaxy Artifact Origin Heaven Wheel. He plans to help An Suwen purchase upgrades for her Star Weapon. Yan Yizhen needs Roasting Yang Stone and Yin Cold Jade; Su Xing struggles to find the latter due to its high value. Meanwhile, An Suwen finds a lost girl named Chise Sakura who speaks Japanese. The group encounters Falling Blossoms Ghost Kingdom's Ghost Martial Cultivators, who demand Chise Sakura. Yan Yizhen skillfully fights off the attackers using her close-quarters boxing and Star Energy, killing them all with precise strikes to their vital points.

Su Xing faces a sneak attack from Ghost Martial Cultivators, including Star Generals and Masters. They underestimate Su Xing's abilities but are swiftly defeated by his strategic use of the Origin Heaven Wheel and Intertwined Branch Sword. Amidst the chaos, Su Xing encounters Manxiang, a powerful Star General who saves Chise Sakura. Manxiang reveals she is Cang Jing’s granddaughter and offers Su Xing conical bullets from an ancient ruin. After the confrontation, Su Xing and his companions return to their base.

Xie Zhenyuan, known as the Azure Dragon Territory's top Star Master, is seen in his Immortal’s Field, observing a young girl who has just finished mending his robe. Bing Qingxuan arrives to discuss an upcoming trip to the Most Clear Hall for the Purple Star Birth Outline. Back at Su Xing’s Immortal’s Abode, Su Xing receives gifts from Lin Yingmei and Wu Xinjie, including Silver Blade and Green Feather Boots, while An Suwen suggests using his Five Elements Sword. Despite financial constraints, Su Xing decides to use the Purple Star Writ to establish a new Immortal’s Abode for potential resources. He also plans to advance Lin Yingmei’s Star Weapon with materials collected by Yan Yizhen. The chapter ends with Su Xing and Lin Yingmei discussing private matters, hinting at deeper developments between them.

Su Xing learns Lin Yingmei and Wu Song have been close friends since their Star Duels began, despite Wu Song's initial hostility. Su Xing shares his encounter with the Draconic Demon Lord, earning Wu Song's respect. Lin Yingmei reassures him of her loyalty but warns he must remain cautious around Wu Song. Outside, Wu Xinjie proposes a plan to secure the Purple Star Birth Outline by leveraging the wealth and influence of Noblewoman Wealth, a mysterious and immensely rich Star General who disregards authority. Su Xing agrees to join the mission, intrigued by the opportunity to meet this powerful figure.

Su Xing and Wu Xinjie arrive at Great Circle Castle, home of Noble Star Little Whirlwind Chai Jin. The castle is built entirely of gold and exudes an aura of power. Su Xing learns that Chai Jin’s immense wealth comes from controlling significant gold mines in the Azure Dragon Territory. Despite her riches, she cannot participate in Star Duels due to her Red Ink Iron Certificate, which grants death exemption but forbids participation. Wu Xinjie reveals Chai Jin's unique innate skill "Help The Needy for Justice," allowing her to lend the certificate once per stage if given a substantial sum of money. Inside the castle, they meet Chai Jin herself, who demands 100 billion in exchange for lending the Red Ink Iron Certificate. Su Xing and Wu Xinjie refuse, leading to an impasse.

Chai Ling challenges Su Xing with a series of demands, including deflowering Wu Xinjie and Yan Yizhen in exchange for a loaned Red Ink Iron Certificate. Su Xing is intrigued by Chai Ling's directness but wary of her intentions. During a private meeting, Chai Ling offers "Yin Yang Lovemaking Powder," intended to enhance their relationship but also to exploit his desires. Though tempted, Su Xing resists, seeing through Chai Ling’s attempts to manipulate him with wealth and power. Their interaction reveals underlying tensions as Chai Ling tries to pressure Su Xing, while he remains cautious about her true motives.

Su Xing proposes a game of Chinese chess to Chai Ling as a gambling challenge, setting an escalating gold wager that could reach astronomical amounts. Chai Ling initially dismisses it but is shocked when she realizes the sheer volume of gold required to fill the sixty-four squares on the board. To avoid fulfilling Su Xing's additional demands—borrowing the Red Ink Iron Certificate, calling him "Big Brother," and performing an erotic dance—Chai Ling reluctantly calls him "Big Brother." Su Xing wins the game, proving his strategic prowess and leaving Chai Ling in awe of his intellect.

Chai Ling, a Noble Star, is caught in an awkward situation with Su Xing, the current Noble Star Little Whirlwind. Wu Xinjie and Yan Yizhen walk in, interrupting their intimate moment. Chai Ling, eager to secure the Red Ink Iron Certificate from Wu Xinjie, proposes a risky deal involving the "Together To Hell" Spirit Item. Su Xing agrees but warns of potential dangers. After a symbolic kiss, they ingest the item, binding themselves in an unusual life-and-death contract. Chai Ling's actions are driven by her desire for the Star Beast and the Red Ink Iron Certificate, while Su Xing reluctantly agrees to appease her. The scene ends with tension between them, highlighting their complex relationship.

Chai Ling and Su Xing's relationship deepens as Chai Ling ingests a "Together To Hell" with Su Xing to secure her own Star Beast. Su Xing learns of the appearance of the Purple Star Birth Outline, which is causing excitement among cultivators across Liangshan. At the Four Styles School, Su Xing returns a Fire Beacon Chariot to Tang Lianxin and receives an Astral Tool, Weapon Removal Scroll from her. Back at the Void Immortal's Abode, Lin Yingmei reveals that she needs Ice Kite Arctic Jade and Silver Snow Sand for her Star Weapon upgrade, which will cost fifteen billion in gold—far more than Chai Ling can provide. Su Xing discusses the challenges of upgrading Star Weapons with his friends as they prepare to face potential threats from the Purple Thunder Monster.

Su Xing arrives at White Deer Highlands for the Purple Star Birth Outline event, now bustling with cultivators from major sects and lesser schools alike. He spots several Supercluster Stage practitioners, including Ancestor Longevity of Lifeless Hall and Xuan Zhenzi from True Immortal Hall. The scene is tense as everyone awaits the arrival of the Purple Star Grade Birth Outline, escorted by powerful Eighth Rank Demon Beasts. Suddenly, a magical cloud appears, revealing five Ancient Ninth Rank Dragons: Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon, Heaven Swallowing Silver Dragon, Heaven Breaking Cyan Dragon, Heaven Devouring Black Dragon, and Heaven Burning Crimson Dragon. The Five Dragons Protection Palace emerges from the clouds, shocking all present. Su Xing prepares to ambush but decides to wait for an opportunity. The Five Dragons' presence deters many lesser cultivators who flee in fear, leaving only major sects and pre-approved schools. Su Xing uses his Divine Thunder to create a distraction, drawing attention away from potential pillaging attempts. The scene sets up intense conflict as the Five Dragons guard the Birth Outline closely.

A massive purple cloud shrouds the White Deer Highlands as five Ninth Rank Firmaments Dragons attack cultivators. Su Xing observes from a distance as the Heaven Breaking Cyan Dragon is targeted by Extreme Clarity Elder Immortal. The elder uses his Jade Light Colored Glass Mirror to trap and subdue the dragon, impressively showcasing his power. Meanwhile, other sects engage in battles with the remaining dragons, each aiming to claim one for themselves. Su Xing devises a plan using the Clinging Fire Star Domain Sword to distract the Divine Flame Sword Sect while claiming assistance from the Taiyi Sword Sect. Ancestor Huai Mu arrives with the Boundless Sun Pearl and Clear Sky Peak, both powerful magic weapons. The Ninth Rank Demon Beast, Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon, proves formidable, but Su Xing and his allies manage to weaken it. Noteworthy are the Star Masters present: Su Feng from Taiyi Sword Sect, Zhao Heng, and his sister wielding a fiery dragon axe. Their presence adds significant power to their respective sects in the ongoing battle for control of the dragons.

The Hundred Thousand Dragon Flame Axe, wielded by the impatient Vanguard Suo Qiao, and the Majestic Star General Han Qing's Two-Star Destined Weapon, the Hundred Wars Bloodthirst Spear, clash against the Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon. Ancestor Huai Mu and Ancestor Heavenly Fire deploy their strongest techniques but struggle to defeat the powerful Ninth Rank Demon Beast. Suddenly, Su Xing rushes forward with a bolt of purple lightning from his hand, killing the dragon and revealing himself as the Purple Thunder Monster. Zhao Heng watches in shock, recognizing the formidable power displayed by Su Xing.

Su Xing and his companions encounter two Ancestor-level cultivators who attempt to seize the Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon's corpse. Su Xing uses his cunning to outmaneuver them by flying towards a Purple Star Platform, which only Star Generals can enter. The Two Star Masters, Ancestors Heavenly Fire and Huai Mu, pursue him angrily but are thwarted by Su Xing’s allies—Lin Yingmei and Yan Yizhen—who arrive just in time to protect Su Xing as he breaks open the Purple Star Grade Birth Outline. A fierce battle ensues with Su Feng, Zhao Heng, and their allies, each using powerful Astral Tools and martial arts techniques against Su Xing's team. The climax sees Suo Qingshuang unleashing her Three Star Destined Weapon’s Yellow Rank Style, Hundred Thousand Fire Dragons Rapid Kill, which nearly overwhelms them but is ultimately blocked by Yan Yizhen's Yin Yang Palm technique.

The Extreme Ice Holy Palace and Blue Wave Palace face off against the Heaven Swallowing Silver Dragon. The Queen Lady of Ice uses her "Mysterious Ice Jade Vase" and "Yin Cold Taiji Sword Array" to encircle and attack the dragon. Meanwhile, Su Xing's team at White Deer Highlands faces pressure from multiple sects. Yan Yizhen blocks a powerful strike but is trapped by Lin Yingmei’s "Wind and Snow Spear Technique." Su Xing narrowly avoids attacks from Suo Chao and Zhao Heng’s group. Zhang Qing of the Lifeless Hall, ranked 16th Agile Star, joins the conflict with assistance from Yan Wudao. The arrival of over ten Star Masters from various sects signals a fierce battle for control of the Purple Star Birth Outline.

Yan Wudao and Su Xing encounter a formidable group of Star Masters and Star Generals in the forbidden area. Su Xing recognizes several opponents like Zhao Hanyan and Gong Caiwei from their original world. He avoids direct conflict by using his Blooming Water Divine Thunder to break one of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Pillars, triggering a wave of covetous cultivators. Despite their numerical advantage, the Star Masters hesitate due to Su Xing's possession of powerful artifacts like the Devil Suppressing Stone Stele and Ghost’s Godsbane. Yan Wudao and Zhao Hanyan decide to kill Su Xing first but are thwarted by his strategic retreat and use of talismans. The ensuing battle sees several barriers collapsing, revealing valuable chests that distract other cultivators from their intended target. Su Xing's calm demeanor amidst the chaos hints at a deeper strategy he's yet to reveal.

Xie Zhenyuan and Yan Wudao were stunned as several cultivators rushed to grab the Treasure Chests, sparing Su Xing from immediate death. The chests were taken quickly, with Earthly Fiend Chests and Heavenly Spirit Grade Chests easily acquired but Purple Star Grade Chests proving more challenging due to soul-based protections. Outside, Great Sect Ancestral Masters attempted to breach the Purple Star Grade Birth Outline with magic, leading to intense battles. Inside the Purple Jade Platform, Su Xing faced a group of powerful opponents including Star Generals and Great Cultivators. He narrowly avoided their attacks, using his skills to counterattack. Lin Yingmei fought off the Star Generals while Su Xing managed to take one of the remaining Purple Star Grade Chests. Meanwhile, outside, Princess Ling Yan and Gong Caiwei clashed over who should kill Lin Chong, further complicating the situation. The battle continued intensely as the cultivators vied for control of the chests and the Birth Outline.

Wu Siyou and Lin Yingmei face off against Su Xing's group, including Xiao’er and Wu Song. Su Xing dispatches Xiao’er to refine the Birth Outline while he deals with Su Xing alone. Dong Junqing and others join in, using their Star Crests and weapons to attack. Wu Siyou and Lin Yingmei engage in a fierce battle, showing deep mutual understanding. The situation becomes tense as Xiao’er nears completion of refining the Birth Outline, drawing heavy attacks from multiple Star Generals. Su Xing’s efforts are nearly thwarted but he successfully breaks open the stele, allowing Xiao’er to claim the Birth Treasure Outline for herself.

Xiao'er and others were shocked as Su Xing unexpectedly took the Birth Treasure Outline. Wu Siyou's demon lotus injured renowned cultivator Xie Zhenyuan, prompting Su Xing to quickly take Lin Yingmei away. The sects arrived, but Su Xing used his Purple Thunder ability to fend them off. Ancestor Huai Mu was furious and attacked, only for Su Xing to counter with Divine Thunder Slays the Dragon. Other Ancestors remained passive, eyeing Wu Song's White and Black Unicorn Tiger. Su Xing learned Wu Song had become a complete Star General, facing potential threats from other sects. The remaining three large schools—Most High Path, Lifeless Hall, and Divine Flame Sword Sect—left, leaving a dire situation for Ancestors Huai Mu and Heavenly Fire to deal with alone.

Su Xing and Lin Yingmei face off against two Ancestors from the Three Great Sects: Heavenly Fire and Huai Mu. Su Xing uses his Blooming Water Divine Thunder to fend off their attacks, but when they attempt to seize an empty bag he threw, they discover it's a Galaxy Stage Artifact, igniting a fierce battle. An Suwen arrives with a hundred Essence Swallowing Dragons, temporarily turning the tide. However, Shi Yuan, a Star General, ambushes them, and Tang Lianxin, another Star General, appears, embedding golden needles into Huai Mu. The battle is intense, with Su Xing ultimately defeating both Ancestors, leaving them as lifeless souls.

Su Xing and his allies face off against Wu Song and her companions in a fierce battle. Su Xing volunteers to join Lin Yingmei, while Wu Xinjie and An Suwen also participate. The Extreme Clarity Elder Immortal uses powerful Sword Chants and the Miraculous Bodhi Tree to challenge their combined efforts. Despite the overwhelming odds, Lin Yingmei's determination and her companions' speed tactics manage to temporarily hold back the elder immortal. Meanwhile, Wu Song's Star Beast and Wu Siyou’s martial prowess put Su Xing in a difficult position, prompting him to reconsider his alliances and strategies. The battle showcases the strength of their combined efforts against a formidable opponent.

Su Xing watches as Extreme Clarity Elder Immortal uses a Miraculous Bodhi Tree, a Prehistoric Spirit Treasure, to overpower Lin Yingmei and Wu Siyou, forcing them into the Star Nest. Su Xing attempts to help with his limited abilities, using Divine Thunder techniques and Supreme Grade Talismans but is outmatched. Suddenly, Gongsun Sheng, ranked fourth Leisure Star, appears, singing a mystical song that reveals her presence. Her unaided flight through the skies and the Star Crest on her forehead confirm she's a formidable opponent. Despite Su Xing's efforts, Gongsun Sheng's arrival adds another layer of complexity to their dire situation.

The disciples of the Most High Path discuss returning to their sect due to Senior Brother Zhenyuan's injuries, dismissing Bing Qingxuan's suggestion to help Ancestral Master Extreme Clarity, fearing repercussions. Meanwhile, Gongsun Sheng arrives with her powerful Yellow Rank Star Magic, "Cloud Wandering Azure Dragon Turn." Despite the odds, she and her allies manage to weaken the Extreme Clarity Elder Immortal, leading him to use his Life-cast Sword Chant. However, a mysterious arrow from afar pierces through the Elder Immortal's chest, ending his life. The disciples are left in shock as Gongsun Sheng and others escape with their lives.

On a misty mountain, Noble Star Little Whirlwind Chai Jin and Wanyue face off. Chai Jin compliments Wanyue's Ten Thousand Li God Killing Arrow technique but hints at an alliance with a man they both want to protect from death. Wanyue dismisses the need for contracts in their partnership. Su Xing faces a mysterious assassin who uses stealth and speed, nearly outmatching him until he counters effectively. The assassin retreats, and Chai Jin reveals that Su Xing is in danger as the thief has stolen the Extreme Clarity Elder Immortal's Astral Bag, leaving behind a chaotic scene.

Su Xing returns to the Four Styles School with Xiao'er and Wu Siyou injured but feeling more powerful from recent gains, including a Prehistoric Spirit Treasure, the Miraculous Bodhi Tree. He discusses Song Jiang's unique status as a Star General who cannot sign contracts freely due to her reincarnation restrictions on Liangshan Continent. Su Xing also inspects his war spoils, which include valuable Birth Outline treasures and materials for crafting a flying sword from the Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon scales. Meanwhile, Wu Siyou and Lin Yingmei tend to their injuries in the Immortal Abode. The chapter ends with Su Xing contemplating how to forge the sword with his current abilities.

Su Xing considers using a master to refine the Sword Chant but is hesitant due to potential risks. Wu Xinjie reveals that Su Xing can use the Birth Treasure Outline to identify Star Generals and their weaknesses. She directs him to Tang Lianxin, who turns out to be the Solitary Star Gold Coin Spotted Leopard Tang Long. The Birth Treasure Outline shows her powerful Great Void Golden Lotus ability, which can transform into various forms. Su Xing asks Tang Lianxin to help refine the Heaven Tearing Gold Dragon's scales, and she agrees, seeing no need for a contract due to their sibling relationship. Bing Qingxuan, meanwhile, contemplates his recent Astral Bag acquisition from the Purple Thunder Monster.

Su Xing gathers materials for his metal-type flying sword's Dragon Saliva True Water at various market squares in the Azure Dragon Territory, spending about 20 billion gold. He uses disguise and a Change Appearance Pill to avoid suspicion. Meanwhile, the Purple Thunder Monster causes an unprecedented commotion; three of the Four Great Sword Sects issue joint eradication orders for him, with even the Most High Path issuing an "Alliance of Ten Chase to Kill." Su Xing begins refining his first Life-cast Flying Sword in his Purple Star Void Immortal's Abode, using Tang Lianxin's advanced tool refinement method and Dragon Saliva True Water. After 12 days of intense work, he completes the sword embryo and starts tempering it with purple qi. Su Xing is pleased with the identical swords' quality but feels mentally strained from simultaneous refinement.

Su Xing uses Life-cast Heart Flowers and Essence Blood to refine twelve Metal Element Heaven Tearing flying swords, enhancing their power significantly. Wu Siyou challenges Su Xing to a sword sparring match, using her Noble Frost Demonic Lotus. Despite the fierce battle, Su Xing activates his Heaven Tearing Sword Array, pushing Wu Siyou back. However, she counters with Ten Li Demonic Lotus Dragon Slaying, pinning Su Xing against the mountain’s edge and threatening him with her sword. Lin Yingmei tries to intervene but is stopped by Su Xing, who reveals they signed a Kiss Contract for her safety. The revelation leaves Wu Siyou stunned as she realizes the depth of Su Xing's intentions.

At Kunlun Mountain's Three Clarities Field, representatives from the Ten Great Sects gather in the main hall of the Most High Path sect. They discuss strategies for eliminating the Purple Thunder Monster, who has caused trouble despite being a mere Galaxy Early Stage cultivator. Enviless of the East, a Supervoid Early Stage cultivator, proposes using the upcoming Evil Smiting Hall to locate and eliminate the Purple Thunder Monster. Wu Siyou challenges Su Xing to prove his worth by obtaining an Evil Smiting Writ, threatening to fight him to death if he fails. Su Xing must now face this new challenge while dealing with internal conflicts among the sect members.

Su Xing and Wu Siyou arrive at Long Blood Stronghold, a notorious site in the Azure Dragon Territory known for battles and deaths. Su Xing remarks on its blood mist, which seems to burn like fire. The pair decide to avoid flying near the stronghold due to potential danger. Wu Siyou suggests accompanying Su Xing on his mission to obtain an Evil Smiting Writ, proposing a bet that Lin Yingmei will recover in time for battle. Su Xing agrees, seeing it as beneficial. They land and explore Blood Knife City, where Su Xing spots Gongsun Sheng, a Star General seeking the same writ. Su Xing plans to thank her if they meet again.

Su Xing and Wu Siyou enter Long Blood Stronghold, where they receive attention due to Su's Galaxy Stage cultivation. They plan to gather intelligence before entering the canyon. Inside Blood Knife City, Su studies the stronghold’s layout while sipping wine. A storyteller named Daoist Hou begins his tales, focusing on the Blood Shadow Elder Devil and a mysterious Purple Thunder Monster who has signed contracts with Wu Song and Lin Chong. Wu Siyou becomes intrigued by a qijue on an jade slab, reading lines that hint at a complex history involving betrayal and revenge.

Su Xing and Wu Siyou visit a restaurant where an aggressive poem criticizes the Star Duels is displayed on a jade stele. A waiter introduces them to Liu Tianya's verse praising beauty, followed by Hua's more tyrannical inscription. Su Xing writes his own poem, "Blood mist has three thousand, breaking the world’s fated marriage; when I suddenly turn around, a dream buries a millennium." Fang Xin’gu approaches and invites them to join a group traveling to the Vermilion Bird Territory for protection from dangers. Outside, an Evil Spirit Clan attacks with Fiend Magic, but is defeated by the Red Lotus Fairy's Red Lotus Karma Fire. Su Xing and Wu Siyou discuss their future journey as they prepare to leave.

Su Xing and Wu Siyou arrive at a stronghold’s east gate to find Fang Xin’gu has gathered close to a hundred cultivators, mostly of Nebula and Galaxy stages. Su Xing recognizes two young Star Stage cultivators as his cousin Yanran and her companion. After some brief introductions, the group travels towards Long Blood Canyon to enter the Vermilion Bird Territory. As they advance, Su Xing and Wu Siyou encounter traps set by the Evil Spirit Clan, leading to a fierce battle with Demi King Devil Mask. Despite initial setbacks, Su Xing and Wu Siyou defeat the Demon King using an Immemorial Sword Chant technique. Meanwhile, Fang Xin’gu protects Zheng Yanran from the pursuing Demon Soldiers, showcasing her formidable modao skills.

Su Xing arrives at the Poison Toad Pool in Vermilion Bird Territory to search for the Evil Smiting Writ, a legendary material used against Star Beasts. He encounters a Poison Toad and engages it in battle. Su Xing uses his Purple Mansion Immortals Thunder and Heaven Tearing techniques, but the Poison Toad proves resilient, employing its Life-cast Ability to form poison shields. After a fierce exchange, Su Xing's Sky Breaking Spear and large flying swords manage to sever the Poison Toad's tongue. Recognizing the threat, he wields a massive golden sword, which ultimately freezes when struck by the Poison Toad's black pellet, confirming the corruption of his weapon.

Su Xing faces a formidable challenge when a Golden-winged Roc cultivator and others attack him and Gongsun Sheng, a key ally from the Vermilion Bird Territory. Su Xing uses his Heaven Tearing Sword Chant to fend off the attackers, but their relentless assault forces him into a tight situation. Despite being outmatched in close combat, Su Xing manages to injure one of the Golden-winged Roc cultivators and escape with Gongsun Sheng's help. He then departs for Five Colors City with her, vowing not to be complacent around Supercluster Stage opponents.

A girl named Kong Liang, wearing yellow robes and armor, fought off an attack in the forest, pursued by two girls, Little Diao and Little Chan. The trio were part of Lady Snake Scorpion's forces. After a fierce battle, Kong Liang was killed by Lady Snake Scorpion’s golden centipedes. Meanwhile, Su Xing brought Gongsun Sheng to Five Colors City; he found her severely poisoned with Gu Poison. Suspecting it might be from the Vermilion Bird Territory’s Azure Dragon Domain, he decided to seek help. Lady Snake Scorpion, upon learning of an unexpected threat to her forces, ordered Golden Wings to investigate further and warned Su Xing's girls about potential dangers.

Su Xing searches for Thousand Year Ginseng in Five Colors City but finds none. He considers harvesting it himself until Fang Xin’gu and Zheng Yanran arrive. Fang Xin’gu leads Su Xing to an underground marketplace where they bid on Eight Hundred Year Ginseng, eventually winning them with a high gold offer. Su Xing’s sudden wealth shocks the crowd as he spends a billion in gold. Despite the cost, he buys Snow Spirit Essence for Fang Xin’gu, aiming to build a connection.

Gongsun Sheng's condition improves slightly under Su Xing's treatment, but Wu Siyou suggests a Star Duel Covenant to potentially help her recover. Su Xing declines until Gongsun Sheng wakes up. They discuss the dangerous Gu Poison affecting Gongsun Sheng, which Wu Siyou believes is from the Lady Snake Scorpion and her husband, the Roc Demon King. The Lady Snake Scorpion stole the Vermilion Bird Territory's Birth Treasure Outline, raising concerns about a powerful enemy. Su Xing learns more about her true identity as Gongsun Huang and the significance of the stolen outline in their ongoing struggle.

Su Xing and Wu Siyou discuss the theft of a Purple Star-grade Birth Treasure Outline by Lightning Goddess Wang Dingliu, leaving Su Xing puzzled. Gongsun Huang recounts her encounter with Gu Poison, narrowly escaping an ambush by the Xie twins. Su Xing plans to investigate Falling Dragon Mountain in search of the Lady Snake Scorpion and gather Five Poisons medicinal materials. Upon arrival, he encounters Xie Bao, who attacks him with Golden Scorpion Tail Needles. Su Xing is intrigued by the power displayed by the Vermilion Bird Territory's demigods but decides not to confront the Sky Falling Great Sage Roc Demon King directly due to his high cultivation level.

Wu Siyou and Gongsun Huang discuss their predicaments with Su Xing's involvement. Wu Siyou learns that Gongsun Huang is in danger due to Su Xing’s influence, restricting her Gu Poison but not fully resolving the issue. A visit from Holy Mother Qixia further complicates matters as she invites both Su Xing and Wu Song to a feast, offering 'Fine Lady’s Meridian Supplement Pills' for Gongsun Huang's Yin deficiency. Meanwhile, Su Xing faces off against Xie Chan in Five Poisons Valley, showcasing his speed and combat prowess. Despite managing to kill Xie Chan, he narrowly escapes from the Roc Demon King, who chases them relentlessly with his superior speed. The scene ends with Wu Siyou contemplating her next move, while Su Xing flees, leaving Gongsun Huang's fate uncertain.

Tang Lianxin gifts An Suwen golden earrings crafted from leftover dragon scales, surprising the group as they discuss Astral Tool refinement. Shi Yuan and others suggest Tang Lianxin might sign a contract with Su Xing to aid in refining special materials for his sword. Wu Xinjie proposes using their dragon scale tools to help Lin Yingmei find materials for her Star Weapon, which is lagging behind Wu Siyou's. Su Xing faces an unexpected challenge from the Roc Demon King who uses "Giant Roc Spreads Its Wings And Flies" technique, trapping Su Xing with Divine Intent. Despite his Chaotic Tail Escape, Su Xing struggles to escape and nearly gives up hope until a god-killing arrow intervenes.

Su Xing narrowly escapes an attack from the Roc Demon King, who fires a Star Energy arrow that grazes Su Xing's face and hits his companion. Su Xing flees, leaving behind a trail of destruction. A mysterious woman appears with a healing Spirit Pill, identified as Hua Rong, a Star General. Qu He, another Star General, arrives, revealing the conflict between them. Hua Rong demonstrates her powerful Heaven Earth Sun Moon Bow against Longkui, their battle intensifying when they target Su Xing and his companion. Su Xing, weakened from injuries, is caught in their deadly exchange, narrowly escaping as Longkui retreats to Hua Rong's side. The chapter ends with tension between the Star Generals over their differing approaches and goals.

Su Xing and Qu He encounter Qingci on Liangshan Continent, who suggests traveling together. Su Xing declines due to his drained Star Energy and the potential dangers. Meanwhile, the Roc Demon King returns to Jade Alum Palace with news of a star general's involvement in Xie Bao's death. Lady Snake Scorpion believes her husband must find out who is behind it. After some wandering, Su Xing discovers he's in the Vermilion Bird Territory's northernmost Broken Water Mountain. He and Qu He face off against the Fire Shadow Clan, capturing Great King Fire Horn using a God Sealing Plate, thus becoming the new ruler of Fire Horn Mountain.

Su Xing acclimates to the extreme heat in Fire Horn Mountain and impresses Great King Fire Horn with his composure. Su Xing then offers cultivation methods from Ancestor Heavenly Fire's Astral Bag, which greatly benefit the Fire Shadow Clan. A daughter challenges Su Xing, revealing her Star Master status. Despite initial setbacks, Su Xing prevails against her and a Fiend Star General. Great King Fire Horn, fearing Su Xing's true strength, orders his daughter to stop. Su Xing gains favor with the clan and sets up a base in Fire Horn Mountain.

Su Xing uses a vague threat to pressure Tuoba Yan and Great King Fire Horn into allowing him to keep the Fiery Eyed Suan’ni as a Star General. Despite some hesitation from Tuoba Yan, Su Xing convinces her by proposing a Nether River Blood Oath, which she reluctantly agrees to. This oath makes Tuoba Yan his lifelong slave servant. Su Xing then gifts her with magical items and advises her on managing Fire Horn Mountain while preparing for future Star Duels. The chapter ends with Su Xing leaving the mountain, having secured an important ally and a potential asset in Tuoba Yan.

Su Xing discusses the recent events with Great King Fire Horn, focusing on Wang Dingliu's escape during the Birth Treasure Outline plunder in the Vermilion Bird Territory. Su Xing learns that Lady Snake Scorpion is a formidable Star Master to watch out for. Outside Fire Horn Mountain, Qu He chooses to stay with him, and they head to Mount Danxia. Meanwhile, Wang Dingliu evades her pursuers, including Wu Ji from Immeasurable Mountain. Qingci, another powerful Star Master, appears and easily captures Wang Dingliu using a Purple Star Grade Astral Treasure. Su Xing returns to Five Colors City where Wu Siyou greets him with concern and offers healing pills. Inside the house, Gongsun Huang, poisoned by Gu Poison, asks Su Xing if he will sign a contract with her, which he agrees to after she kisses him.

Su Xing and Gongsun Huang contracted a Star Duel Covenant after Su Xing used the Chaotic Tail Escape technique to narrowly escape the Roc Demon King's pursuit. Wu Siyou is surprised but intrigued by their decision. Su Xing learns he received an invitation from Holy Mother Qi Xia, who invited both him and his "wife," Gongsun Huang. They plan a fabricated husband-and-wife address for the banquet, settling on "Dearest Husband" and "Dearest Wife." Meanwhile, outside Five Colors City, a mysterious cloaked woman with chilling abilities defeats several men, leaving an unsettling impression.

The Red Cloud Hall atop Mount Danxia, renowned for its beauty and strategic location, hosts an impressive gathering with Azure Dragon Territory cultivators. Su Xing and Wu Siyou are invited to a feast hosted by Holy Mother Qi Xia, the Supervoid Stage leader of the Hundred Flowers Clan. As they mingle, Su Xing notices Fang Xin’gu and Zheng Yanran, while Long Aotian attempts to make an impression on Wu Siyou. When alone with Wu Siyou, Holy Mother Qi Xia inquires about his search for medicinal ingredients. She reveals she sold items he purchased at auction and suggests he still has gold. Several maids enter with red boxes containing unspecified gifts. The atmosphere is tense, hinting at deeper intentions behind the gathering.

Holy Mother Qi Xia offers Su Xing and Wu Siyou various treasures in exchange for six billion gold. Su Xing remains noncommittal, showing interest only in a piece of Rainbow Light Glass Jade to gift his wives. When Holy Mother Qi Xia presents the Thousand Bells Immortals Dew—a rare panacea for Star Cultivators—Su Xing's desire intensifies. Despite Wu Siyou’s indifference, Su Xing feigns hesitation and proposes an exchange, suggesting he take the Dew while offering her the Jade. Holy Mother Qi Xia suggests becoming sworn sisters to cement their alliance, which Su Xing reluctantly accepts. The conversation veers into personal matters, much to Su Xing's embarrassment, as Holy Mother Qi Xia gives Wu Siyou a book on dual cultivation techniques.
