Chapters 1609-1621 Hidden Dragon Territory 1


1609 The moment RY is distracted, DFX rushes to the right side, only to be caught.
DFX brings up CZ when RY reprimands him, and sneers thinking that CZ has raised
such a stupid disciple. RY refuses to tell SL why they use separate doors, and leaves
when theyve all entered, with the villagers in awe at him.
1610-1611 SL enters to see a corridor filled with luminous pearls, with ZiY commenting
that RY must have given them the safer route. The corridor becomes narrower as they
walk, until they reach another portal, taking them to a beautiful valley with Hidden
Dragon Territory carved on a 10-foot rock. They feast while waiting for the men to
arrive. SL worries over NL and ZiY fears that BY isnt a match for any of them, when
LAC and LHM appear, injured and staggering.
1612 SL pushes LAC back down, as DFX appears with light injuries. BY appears and SL
immediately gives him an Imperial ranked pill, as he assures her NL is still alive.
Seeing this, DFX demands to know what the pill was, but SL ignores him, waiting for
NL.
1613 Since NL hasnt appeared, LAC reveals that they encountered 8 th ranked cicadas,
9th ranked snakes and 10th ranked bears. As they found the HDT portal, a Saint level
ape appeared, chasing after NL, while the rest of them escaped. SL is about to attack
LACs head when NL appears.
1614 NL calmly strolls in and hands SL the Saint level beasts crystal. After reaching
Commander ranked, a beasts crystal becomes black, intensifying at Saint ranked and
becoming a translucent black at Imperial level. NL staggers when SL pushes him for
teasing her, and she immediately feeds him 3 Blood Clotting Pills ( Nng Xi
Dn), realizing that hes injured, but it will take him 3 days to recover.
1615-1616 DFX is once again outraged at SLs extravagance, having once fought for 7
days for a Grand Master ranked pill, and tries to negotiate for one of SLs, disregarding
their animosity. BY objects since DFX would recover instantly while SL, realizing his
intentions, asks him to choose between the Blood Clotting Pill or marrying LYY. DFX
hesitates since the BCP is essentially an extra life.
1617 BY is shocked to find that ZiY and SL didnt even encounter an ant on their path,
crying over RYs partiality, having moved all the beasts to one side. The rest are
cultivating, with NL fully recovers after 3 days and the rest have mostly healed. BY
suggest they explore the HDT quickly, then leave since little is known about the area,
and they need to leave within 3 months as the entrance will close.
1618 They head towards a mountain covered with towering trees and hordes of 8 th
ranked and above Tranquil Eyed Purple Spiders ( Yu Yn Z Zh), led by a 10th
ranked. DFX eyes SLs sleeve for the BCP, lamenting they need to cross through the
spiders to reach the other side. They form a circle to fight off the spiders, turning them
into dust, but SL is more concerned with LHM and DFX than the spiders.
1619-1620 The spider king calls off the attack, when SL notices small stones on the
ground left by the dead spiders, marvelling that they carry the warmth of jade. LAC
reprimands SL for wasting time, when NL exerts pressure, aggravating his injuries until
he grovels and slaps himself in deference. SL calms NL down since LAC isnt a threat,
expressing her fondness for the stones before sending them all to her space. No one
else is interested in the stones, while DFX mocks her. The spiders return with
reinforcements and NL leads their attack. SL is delighted as more stones appear.
1621 SL burns the spiders with her flames, when waves of 9 th ranked spiders arrive.
LHM despairs since most of their energy is used up, when SL brings out a bottle of
Grand Master ranked ERPs. SL hands one to LAC and LHM, but only half a pill to DFX
when she sees the glint in his eyes, causing him to rage.

Chapters 1622-1635 Hidden Dragon Territory 2


1622 SL retorts that the pills are precious and she doesnt want to waste them on
someone ugly. DFX rages since hes considered handsome and only slightly inferior to
NL. The rest eat their ERPs, while DFX stores his away. The spider king has realized NL
is the strongest and charges towards SL, sensing NL is protective of her. NL sneers and
sends a lightning bolt towards it, causing it to scream in pain.
1623 The spiders disperse after their king dies, and they make their way towards the
bridge connecting to another mountain. DFX insists on going first but BY and ZiY
object, fearing hed cut the bridge after crossing. Since RY had found HDT, SLs words
have weight, and they arrange the order as BY, LAC, ZiY, LHM, SL, NL and finally DFX.
1624 DFX finds NL petty, siding with a woman over him, while SL reminds him of his
own reputation, impregnating the unmarried LYY and being unable to advance to
Command ranked even after a decade. SL wouldnt need the bridge if she teleports
but chooses not to expose it in front of outsiders.
1625 SL and NL reach the other side to find LAC and LHM have already left, while BY
and ZiY are hoping SLs luck will lead them to treasures. They leave before DFX
arrives, only to find DFX, LHM and LAC as frozen statues outside an old mans cabin.
The cabin is made of impregnable steel and stocked with shelves of treasures
including rare manuals, Imperial ranked pills, Black Crystals, crystal balls and wings.
1626 The shelves are surrounded by invisible mist, which activated when the three
approached, having rushed past after sensing the old man had no cultivation. SL
approaches, asking the old man if hes willing to sell the items, but the old man
reprimands her for not knowing theyre prizes for a lotto.
1627-1628 DFX apologizes to the old man, who reveals they can trade 100 white
stones ( Bi Sh) for a draw, confirming theyre the stones SL had picked up from
the spiders. Shocked, DFX immediately demands for SLs, alongside LAC and LHM. SL
reminds them that they forfeited the right, and even mocked her for it, while she had
given them the Grand Master ranked pills. DFX asserts that RY had told her
beforehand, but SL denies this and starts to draw.
1629 SL places 100 white stones into a device and a screen filled with button appears.
She allows BY to play since they have plenty of stones, telling him that the results
should correspond with one of the 99 grids, with the worst result being that theyd
draw the empty 99th Thank You Patron grid.
1630-1631 BY laments his luck and the numbers start flashing on the screen, only to
cry when he draws Thank You Patron. SL comforts him, telling him to try again. BY is
more hesitant the second time, wanting any other number, only for ZiY to laugh at him
for drawing 99 again. Angered, BY tells ZiY to try.
1632 ZiY shakes SLs hand for luck and draws 77. BY fumes, telling her the prize wont
be good and ZiY feels conflicted winning a Grand Master ERP, since SL had given her
Imperial ranked ones. ZiY claims shes content while BY laughs, only to grovel when SL
threatens not to give him pills anymore.
1633-1634 SL approaches to play and LAC, LHM and DFX chant for her to lose, terrified
of her luck. SL is shocked to draw the blank and draws again, only to get the same
result. BY and NL tell her to continue since they have plenty of stones, only for 99 to
appear the 3rd time. Angered, SL continues playing, consistently drawing 99 as LHM,
LAC and DFX laugh at her, until only 3 chances are left.
1635 DFX taunts SL, offering to bet his Purple Crystal for her last two turns if her next
one ends up blank. Since lower crystals arent effective for advancing to 10 th ranked,
SL accepts and draws a 12.

Chapters 1636-1644 Hidden Dragon Territory 3


1636 Since DFX only has 5 Purple Crystals he offers to wager another, telling SL to
return it if she loses. SLs prize is a Transparent Crystal Ball. Injecting her spiritual
energy into it, images of a pair of experts in a sword fight appear. LHM is shocked that
the scene depicts the legendary Saint ranked expert Lng Mi () practicing his
Enchanted Shadow Step ( Mi Yng B F) and the three start bidding for it.
1637 The bids escalate to 10 Purple Crystals, when NL tells SL that the technique will
allow the user to move as though theyre teleporting. DFX demands to know how
much SL is willing to part with it for, when she refuses. Since she and NL dont need it,
she gives it to ZiY for free. DFX is mad with jealousy as SL remarks that the crystal ball
is hers to give, and that compared to RYs treasures, its not considered much. While
Purgatory City is on par with RY, CZ has more disciples and cant treasure them as
much as RY.
1638 DFX bets with SL again for the last draw and SL manages to draw a 7. Her prize
is a jade token. Remembering her Dimensional Imprint is contained in a similar token,
SL is delighted to find that it contains the Upper Volume of the Light Element Manual
( Gungmng fz), since RY only has the Middle.
1639 SL remains calm on the surface so DFX mocks her for drawing a bad prize,
offering to trade his remaining 3 Purple Crystals for her last draw. Delighted when SL
agrees, he, LAC and LHM approach with anticipation, having formed a group against
SLs.
1640 DFXs number slows at 1 and SL starts to regret, only for it to roll over to 69. ZiY
laughs since he traded 3 Purple Crystals to win one, while SL is relieved he didnt draw
the first prize. DFX angrily smashes his fist on the device, only to be sent flying. SL is
happy with her winnings, which include the Light Element Manual, DFXs 5 Purple
Crystals and ZiYs Enchanted Shadow Step.
1641 SL asks the old man if they can find him again to play and he tells her to make a
round trip to a grove further east within 3 days. DFX immediately rushes past as ZiY
remarks on his shameless personality, having presented himself as their cold and
indifferent senior. LAC and LHM go with him, but find nothing. DFX tells them to remain
there as he retraces their steps, but LHM has started to trust SL more than him.
1642 Since the spiders like the sun, theyre actually in the west during the afternoon.
NL sends a lightning attack into the trees and the spiders start flooding out. By the
time theyve finished attacking, hundreds of white stones are on the ground. ZiY and
BY trust SL to divide her wins fairly, and tell her to take the stones. SL laments not
being able to find their nest, and NL reminds her she can teleport.
1643 SL and NL split up to find the nests. Left behind, ZiY and BY kill the few spiders
they encounter but only manage to find 7 by the time SL returns, marking out the 7
nests shes found. Theyll be able to gather thousands of stones as long as DFX
doesnt arrive first.
1644 NL has also managed to find several nests and SL teleports them to a desert
area where the nests are easy to find, warning them if DFX sees it, not only will he
empty the nests, but will also steal their stones. They plan to stand in a square,
eliminating the spiders in their shaped nest by cutting off their escape from 3 sides
and using NL to finish them off.

Chapters 1645-1653 Hidden Dragon Territory 4


1645 NL is impressed with SLs well-calculated plan, maximizing their teamwork and
strengths, while SL frets over DFX. He casually mentions that DFX has headed back to
the cliff and that the wires on the bridge seem weak. They continue attacking the
spiders from 4 sides, leaving them with no room to escape.
1646 SL praises NL as he finishes the spiders with his lightning attack and is delighted
theyve gained 120 stones, determined to win NL a dark element manual. While ZiY
assures her that DFXs luck is bad.
1647 They easily eliminate 6 nests but run into DFXs group at the 7 th. SL tells them to
hurry to the next nest, teleporting them away and DFX senses SL for an instant and is
shocked to discover shes gone. He tells LAC and LHM not to bother with the ones that
escape, not knowing theyd warn the nest and allow them to disperse. NL speculates
gathering all the spiders to one area and SLs eyes shine.
1648-1649 SL takes out a bottle of her Celestial Spring Water, which attracts magical
beasts. BY asks if theres enough, and is shocked to find that the dragon used to bathe
in it. Seeing the spiders tunnelling in the sand, SL takes out her nine-tailed fox,
dumping the CSW on it. The little fox starts licking the CSW, and finds itself
surrounded by spiders. Terrified, it starts running, only to be followed by a horde of
spiders as SLs group readies themselves to fight.
1650 BY is stunned at the sheer number of spiders, as the fox jumps towards SL. The
spiders surround them, only for NLs lightning snakes to fall from the sky, electrocuting
1/3 of them. SL also takes out her Spirit Gathering Tree and DST, and has them fence
the spiders in. SL draws the spiders into her space, reducing their strength by half. The
spiders are now the equivalent of 6th ranked so SL, ZiY and BY easily butcher them,
with SL placing their remains in her space rather than taking the time to remove the
stones. NL manages to handle more spiders than the three put together, removing
them as they chase the fox.
Excited, they count the stones when DFX arrives, eyeing their pile. SL is glad DST has
returned to her space since DFX would suspect how they snuck MFA in, despite the
age restriction. DFX offers to buy the stones since SLs luck is bad, but BY reminds him
of his own losses. Angered, he mentions that at 18 ZiY is well past marriageable age
and would make a good match with the 4th ranked Li Ao Qiong. ZiY remarks that he
has no say since NL is there, reminding him of his inferiority. NL is not intimidated by
DFX or by CZs reaction if they fight to the death, causing him to storm off. ZiY is
grateful NL is there to deter him, while SL promises to have him kneel before ZiY when
CZ returns.
They decide to continue gathering the stones and agree to redeem them at the end,
with SL using the fox to draw the spiders, fencing them in with the SGT and using DST
to finish them off. However, the fox fails to return and they find it in DFXs hands,
using it to draw the spiders. Working with LAC and LHM, they fail to kill most of the
spiders since they havent trapped them. ZiY and BY are outraged at the waste, but SL
wants to make use of them.
1651 SLs group watch on, amused, as DFXs group mindlessly attacks the spiders,
with white stones scattered on the ground. LAC and LHM are hesitant but DFX wont
let them take their share if they leave. DFX is infuriated at SLs condescending look,
while SL eyes his stones the same way he eyed theirs, reminding them that the fox is
hers.
1652-1653 SL notices that the foxs leg has been broken, while DFX marvels at gaining
300 white stones. NL attacks DFX, allowing SL to take back her fox and DFXs stones.
DFX is infuriated and takes out a Command level Spirit Bomb, threatening to use it if
they dont return the stones. NL calls his bluff since DFX doesnt want to die along with

them. As he turns to leave, he realizes LHM and LAC arent following him. He calls
them traitors, but they were never a group to begin with.

Chapters 1654-1667 Hidden Dragon Territory 5


1654 LHM tries to smooth things over, but NL dismisses them before they can ask to
join, giving them no choice but to leave. BY states that theyd easily betray them as
they did DFX, while having them join meant they wouldnt be able to use DST. SL gives
the fox an imperial ranked pill to recover.
1655 The fox instantly swallows the pill and starts to change, when SL places it back in
her space. BY laments their plans effectiveness has dropped without the fox, before
reacting in shock thinking SL wants to use him as bait instead. SL had wanted to use
the SGT, but has him and ZiY draw lots instead, telling them that the paper with the
circle loses. ZiY instantly draws one and destroys it, while BY draws a circle, not
knowing that both strips had circles on them as ZiY and SL had colluded.
1656 BY runs as the spiders chase him, eyeing his butt, where SL had sprinkled the
CSW. His clothes end up tattered but he didnt bring spares and has to borrow ZiYs
male disguise. The SGT fences the spiders as they finish them off. LHM and LAC are
watching nearby, lamenting how wasteful they are with CSW. LHM realizes that its
worse to offend SL than NL, warning LAC to remove LYY before its too late.
1657-1659 LHM recounts how SL reached 9th ranked in 3 years, while RY and NLs
backing also make her terrifying. He also speculates that SL has ties with CZ given
NLs indifference to DFX, and how one of the Luo Yu ancestors once saw CZ smile in
front of a woman who resembled SL. LAC is overwhelmed, while LHM only disclosed it
to him due to the close ties between Luo Yu Dian and the Jade Lake, but he doesnt
feel obligated to mention it to DFX. LHM reminds him of LAQ and LATs fates. Having
been surpassed by DFX and NL, LHM decides to relinquish the grudge between SL and
Luo Yu Dian. While LAC doubts the strength of SLs backing, he wont go out of his way
to trouble SL. The two avoid SLs group until the 3 days are up.
1660 LHM and LAC despair as their stones are tiny compared to SLs sacks. But given
his new approach, LHM sincerely congratulates her, asking if she wants to draw first.
SL feels uneasy about the change, but goes ahead, drawing 98 to win a Grand Master
ranked pill, which is completely useless to her.
1661-1662 LAC draws next, while ZiY states that his attitude is exactly the same,
despite LHMs change. LAC is angered as ZiY cheers for him to get 99, laughing when
he does. ZiY draws 97 and wins a Blue Crystal. LHM approaches SL, asking her to
share her luck, and draws 15 to win an Imperial Ranked BCP and even SL is shocked at
his fortune.
1663-1664 BY congratulates him, while LHM is delighted at his prize. ZiY mocks BYs
luck, offering not only to marry him but to pour tea and act as his maid if he wins the
9th prize Purple Wings. BY agrees and spins, shocking them when he actually lands on
9. ZiY is stunned and turns red, while SL congratulates them on a happy marriage. BY
is also shocked, staring at the red-faced ZiY. The wings are made for women but he
hesitates offering them to ZiY in case she refuses. SL reminds ZIY the wings will allow
her to fly and travel at twice her normal speed. ZiY grabs them, before stepping to
draw, only to be stopped by LAC.
1665-1666 ZiY mocks LAC for only having enough for 5 draws, as well as his bad luck.
However, even she starts becoming sympathetic when all his spins end up as 99,
leaving him with nothing to show for 3 days work. He glares at LHM as he tries to
comfort him, while SL lets LHM draw, hoping for LAC to rage more at his prizes. LHM
fails to win anything else but continues to smile unaffected. SL comforts him since he
had his Imperial BCP, before ZiY starts to draw.
1667 SL dumps enough stones for 12 draws, but ZiY fails to win anything for the first
10. LAC taunts her when nothing comes from her 11 th draw. BY comforts her and SL

tells her to draw 7, since the prize is a wind element sword that suits BY. ZiY is shocked
when she actually draws 7, marvelling at the sword.

Chapters 1668-1682 Hidden Dragon Territory 6


1668 Seeing BY drool over the sword, ZiY gives it to him in return for the wings, while
SL teases them for exchanging keepsakes, causing them to blush. NL tells SL hed
rather watch her play, and she plans to aim for 1, a dark element manual that even RY
doesnt have.
1669-1671 SL despairs that her first 30 draws result in Grand Master and Imperial pills
but has 100 chances left. However, she hits 99 for 96 consecutive draws, not even
winning a small prize. The old man tells her theres a 99% chance of drawing 99 but
only a 0.1% chance of getting 1. SL continues drawing 99 until she only has one
chance left. DST asks if shes willing to risk her life to obtain the manual, revealing
that if she crushes the dragons token, shed be able to obtain it at the cost of
sacrificing a lifeline.
1672-1673 Since shes already learnt the Dimensional Imprint, SL crushes the jade,
sprinkling it over the device and obtains 1. ZiY is shocked, while LAC takes out 100
stones he had secretly obtained without LHMs knowledge, also planning to crush a
jade token for luck. However, NL stops him, pointing to the prizes. Even the old man is
shocked as all the prizes light up, indicating SL has won them all.
1674 SL has some regrets, speculating the dragons token might have granted her any
wish, before taking the dark manual as well as the other prizes. SL instantly transports
them all into her space, while ZiY mocks LACs sly nature, telling him to use the stones
for decoration. The old man notices the spiritual fluctuations from the jade token,
asking if it was given by a dragon.
1675 The old man tells SL the token is a dragons blessing and wouldve allowed her to
travel within HDT unharmed. However, he also recognizes SLs contract with the little
dragon and gives SL a map of HDT, which contains 5 barriers, and reveals that theyve
just passed the first. BY and ZiY are excited at all the prizes, while SL feels uneasy
since DFX hasnt shown up.
1676-1677 HDT is shaped like a rabbit and they travel from the tip of its right ear to its
eye, walking through the base of the cliff, into a dark corridor. The passage becomes
hotter the further they walk, as magma deposits are below, when NL starts hearing
voices and covers SLs ears, telling her not to remove it as demonic sounds have been
passing through their ears unnoticed. SL and NL hold hands at the front, followed by
ZiY and BY, with LAC and LHM at the end, while DFX still hasnt been seen. The wind
howls through, sending chills down ZiYs neck.
1678-1679 Aside from NL, everyone else also blocks their ears. However, this makes
the voices more obvious, and they become unsettled hearing roars, shrills and a
melodious voice. They all start to fall asleep, with even NL having trouble staying alert.
SL dreams that shes back in the Dark Forests, where NL had been kissing a flat
stomached LYY as she mocks SL for carrying DFXs child, and NL expresses his regret
of meeting her. SL is stunned their positions are reverse and starts madly swinging her
CSS at LYY when DST wakes her up. SL finds herself standing at the edge of a crevice,
covered in sweat and about to jump into the magma. While the rest of her group is
wildly attacking due to their respective delusions.
1680 SL pulls NL to safety, only for the other 4 to head towards the edge. DST had
used all his energy to wake SL, so she uses the SGTs vines to hold ZiY and BY as they
attempt to reach the magma. Spending all her efforts on her friends, SL has no energy
to waste on LHM and LAC but neither walk off the edge.
1681-1682 DST tells SL that only the long-lost Clear Sky Whistle ( Tng Tin
Sho) can wake them. SL reminds him of the prizes she had won from the previous
round, and pulls out a blood-red, rooster-shaped whistle and blows on it to wake them.
NL is the first to recover, while SL teases them about wanting to jump, realizing that

BY and ZiY had dreamt about diving. NL regrets losing control of himself and not
protecting SL as she ponders over the map.

Chapters 1683-1695 Hidden Dragon Territory 7


1683 They arrive at the second barrier and LHM thanks SL for helping him and LAC,
though she wasnt really concerned with them. They arrive to find DFX in a white robe
and overflowing with spiritual energy, though he has yet to advance to Command
level.
1684 DFX mocks NL for always following SL but cant win against her in verbal
arguments. NL determines DFX wasnt the one who attacked them but tells SL to stay
close, reflecting on how each time he left SL over the past 3 years, she ended up in
dire straits. They travel together peacefully, until they reach the end of the tunnel and
DFX rushes past SL towards the exit. The rest are confused but LAX and LHM follow
him, thinking hed never act to disadvantage himself, leaving only SLs group.
1685-1686 ZiY speculates that hes rushing towards treasure and follows, along with
BY, while SL prefers to stay away from him. SL and NL continue walking when DST
starts sighing but refuses explain why. NL finds a nameless rose that blooms in
proximity to magma and offers it to SL. SL accepts since NL gave it to her, while DST
sighs over SLs ignorance. NL has the SGT gather the rest, not leaving a single rose
behind
1687 SL names the flowers Ice Spirit Flowers ( Bng Lng Hu) and catches up
with the rest. BY rushes them, having found a quarry filled with source stones. BY and
ZiY had cut out Green Crystals, while DFX has managed to find Purples Crystals. They
rush towards him, only for LAC and DFX to arrogantly rebuff them.
1688 LAC tries to chase them away from their territory but is dissuaded by DFX from
fighting due to NL. ZiY and BY want to bet with crystals, relying on SLs luck. SL
despairs since she had used the dragon to defeat Li Ao Qiong (chapter 543-556), when
DST offers to help her in exchange for half of her winnings. SL immediately agrees and
her eyes become even clearer than when she used the dragon, being able to
determine the colour, size and shape of the crystals within the source stones.
1689 SL realizes that BY and ZiYs source stones have the lowest yield, since they had
arrived last. LAC and LHM had each grabbed a side, while DFX had taken the largest
eastern corner. His best source stone contains hundreds of Purple Crystals, while DFX
mocks her for dragging behind with NL and missing out.
1690 same as 1689
1691 SL walks away and LAC scoffs that its too late for SL to stake a claim, while DFX
warns him not to deal with her since his intellect is too limited. Meanwhile SL informs
BY and ZiY that none of their stones contain Purple Crystals, while the few Blue
Crystals are buried too deeply for them to reach.
1692 BY is certain SL can see the Crystals, while SL tells them that LHM and LAC both
have around 10 Purples Crystals but its nothing compared to DFXs. SL contemplates
how to win them, when DST tells her to use the ISF and that YH had given them the
same name SL had.
1693 DST had seen the ISF in RYs books, reminding SL he was sealed away long
before YH was born. SL offers to split it 40:60 for him to explain but agrees when he
wants 70%. DST reminds her that the second barrier involves crossing a magma
bridge, which disables space storage items and will prevent her from teleporting,
though she can still use her personal space. To pass through it, theyll need to use the
ISF.
1694 DST praises NLs foresight, while the SGT arrives with the flowers. DFXs eyes
gleam as he sees it, while SL sends it back into her space and holds the flowers,
drooling at the benefits theyd bring. DFX mocks her and she reminds them of their
limited time, when DFX reveals his space ring.

1695 SL had guessed that DFX relinquished the first round since it was too
bothersome to carry the white stones, but is now competing since he can store his
prizes away. She mocks DFX for having a fake storage item and he tries to place the
source stones in it to disprove her, and is shocked when nothing happens.

Chapters 1696-1709 Hidden Dragon Territory 8


1696-1697 DFX demands to know how SL knew his ring was fake, even offering one of
his source stones. SL denies knowing anything, and walks away. BY laughs but is
shocked when his own ring doesnt work, so SL sweeps all their source stones into her
space and tells them to head to Magma Bridge. ZiY and BY are hesitant when SL
reassures them that she has a safe method to cross. DFX feels conflicted that SL
appears to have the upper hand and signals for LAC to follow her.
1698-1699 Magma bridge lies between two cliffs with waves of molten lava surging
around it. DST instructs SL to extract the essence of 10 ISFs enough to fill a bowl
and to fully cover herself in it to prevent burns. BY starts applying, while SL confronts
NL over already knowing this. NL acts hurt so SL comforts him with a kiss, only for him
to deepen it to leave her breathless. BY proudly announces hes finished, while SL
teases him for getting ZiY to help, before getting him to cross the bridge.
1700 SL soothes BYs concerns and promises to split the rewards with him. He starts
crossing and is shocked that he remains unharmed, rushing past before the ISF wears
off. LAC is stunned while SL starts preparing for ZiY to cross, and waits for DFX to seek
her.
1701-1702 LAC reports to DFX and LHM. DFX arrives and offers SL a source stone for
the ISF, while sending LHM and LAC to find them. However, SL has taken all of them
and DFX raises the offer to 10 source stones but SL asks for 30. DFX has no choice but
to accept, when LAC complains. Hearing this, SL retracts her offer and DFX panics,
trying to negotiate. SL changes the asking price to 100. As a source stone gambler
DFX can sense his stones contain good crystals and assumes that SLs space ring only
has a limited capacity.
1703 DFX accepts, glaring at LAC for costing him an additional 70 source stones, and
is confident SL wont be able to pick quality ones, telling her not to blame him if she
finds nothing. SL retorts not to regret it if she chooses his best ones and he naturally
agrees, not knowing that SL can see through the stones.
1704 SL walks towards the stone containing hundreds of Purple Crystals and DFX
wants to stop her but he had already agreed. LHM allows SL to choose 100 of his
stones and she gives him 10 ISF. Seeing SL walk by him, and that he has no other way
of crossing, LAC asks to exchange his stones, but SL refuses.
1705 LAC increases the offer to 200, but SL wants all of his 800 stones. LAC is
outraged while DFX tries to negotiate it down to 400 but SL rejects. Neither DFX nor
LHM have enough flowers to spare for LAC and he has no choice but to agree, while SL
comments that all his stones cant even compare to one of DFXs.
1706 While DFX knows SL had taken his best source stones, he doesnt know shes
taken all the ones with Purple Crystals. SL and NL then cross the bridge, where SL
reassures the excited BY that shes taken all the good stones from them. The third
area is in the Snowy Mountains and SL is glad she had stored magma away in her
space for DST to train with, as this will come in handy.
1707 SL is surprised when DFXs group arrives as she had given them the thinnest
ISFs, which wouldve been an insufficient amount to protect them. DFX threatens to
grab the treasures in this round and speeds away, as LAC and LHM follow. ZiY hurries
their group but SL exclaims that the benefits will end up being hers regardless, while
caution is more important. SL and NL dress in furs, indulgently walking.
1708-1709 BY and ZiY are shivering due to the cold. The group discusses the
placement of the Magma Bridge next to the Snowy Mountains, when the magma starts
to cool. SL takes out DST, whos burning at a high temperature and NL uses his
spiritual energy to launch him forward towards the Snowy Mountains, creating a

melted path for them to travel on. BY and ZiY are stunned that the path is so uniform,
demonstrating NLs perfect control, while BY is dismal over the gap in strength
between them. SL reminds him that his strength is at the top for their generation,
while joking about her being left behind by NL.

Chapters 1710-1720 Hidden Dragon Territory 9


1710 They continue flirting when they find LAC passed out in the snow. BY turns him
over to reveal multiple wounds on his face and body, caused by magical beasts. ZiY
wants to remove LAC, when he wakes up. Instead she claims that theyve rescued him
by opening up a path.
1711-1712 LAC wants nothing to do with them and tells them to go their separate
ways. However, he senses that NLs path is the safest, and travels a few hundred
metres beside them, when a Four-eyed Snow Mastiff at the peak of 9 th ranked
approaches him, filled with bloodlust. SLs group watch on, amused, as the two parties
are equally matched, even adding commentary. LACs defences are weak due to his
injuries and the mastiff claws his face. ZiY laughs but SL is certain that he wont die
even if he loses.
1713 The mastiff pounces towards LAC and he manages to escape death by punching
it in the jaws with all his strength, causing it to stumble. Unharmed and ready to
attack again, the mastiff finds LAC drained and lying on the ground, and starts to howl.
Since they have a poor impression of LAC, SLs group decide to leave it up to fate,
when LAC leaps onto the fiery red path that NL had created, causing the mastiff to
back away, to ZiYs disappointment.
1714 ZiY mocks LAC for eating his words, telling him to leave the path since he had
sworn not to use it. Humiliated, LAC walks 1 metre parallel to it instead. SLs group
slow down to match his pace, anticipating the next show, when a juvenile mastiff
appears and stares at LAC.
1715 LAC instantly darts onto the path, when SL points out the mastiff is already near
its end, having been stabbed in the stomach, and they laugh at how easily scared he
is and he runs off, embarrassed. SL fears that their taunts would help him mature,
making him a much stronger adversary.
1716 SLs group speeds up, when they run into DFX fighting a flock of Flowing SnowEarth Eagles. As he brutally slays them, SL estimates that his strength is at the peak of
10th ranked and that he hasnt realized that the path theyre on would keep him safe.
DFX is a foot away from the path, asking SLs group for assistance. When SL refuses,
he tries to grab ZiY.
1717 NL manages to kick DFX, sending him flying. SL thinks he overdid it, but BY
attempts to copy him and lands on DFX, right below the eagles. The eagles were
infuriated, having been disrupted by the force of NLs kick, and attacks BY and DFX. BY
manages to reach the path in time, when they notice DFX has disappeared.
1718 NL speculates DFX had used a Teleportation Stone. SLs group remain unharmed
when they arrive at the peak of the Snowy Mountains. They see DFXs group fighting
off Palm-Eyed Snow Leopards, as LAC looks for the fiery red path, not knowing that it
disappears once SLs group leaves, as the magma and DSTs energy start to cool.
DFXs strength has risen again and NL warns that hes about to break through to
Command level.
1719 Due to the gap between 10th ranked and Command level, SL teases that she
might reach it before DFX and leaves them to fend for themselves. NL senses that the
eastern direction is rich with spiritual energy while SLs map now includes a spirit river
( Lng H) east of the Snowy Mountains, speculating that the map will reveal
hidden areas once theyve met certain conditions. They head to the river, fighting
their share of beasts as confrontations are inevitable due to the mutual hate between
humans and beasts.
1720 SL is excited, as the spiritual energy in the air becomes insanely dense, and
plans to absorb it before DFX notices. They soon reach their destination and are

shocked to see a sky river, rich with spiritual energy. While the water within it appears
still and doesnt flow in any direction.

Chapters 1721-1731 Hidden Dragon Territory 10


1721 They can absorb the energy by standing near the river, but the aura should have
drawn strong magical beasts to it as well. A scarlet red snake around 100 metres
appears and attacks. Since its at Command level, SL falls back, trusting NLs abilities,
as he pulls out his Dedicated Heavenly Sword and swings it. The snake narrowly
dodges, shocked and angry that it couldve been severed.
1722 The snakes large size allows NL to land two successive strikes, slicing off its
lower lip and tongue, causing its blood to spray out. The snake is infuriated due to the
pain, and the loss of its venomous tongue, which is its primary means of attack, and
starts spraying poison. SL manages to dodge, but a drop lands on BY, causing his skin
to sizzle, and the toxins to start spreading through his arm.
1723 BYs pain causes ZiY to start crying, as SL tries to treat him. The poison spreads
rapidly and BY will soon become a skeleton, when SL gives him an Imperial ranked BCP
and uses her dagger to dig out the contaminated flesh until his blood no longer
contains traces of poison.
1724-1725 BYs wound soon becomes a scab, which falls off to reveal new skin and
theyre astounded with the effects. Meanwhile NL had managed to hide when the
snake was raging, and sneaks up behind it, stabbing it in the back. The snake tries to
retaliate with its tail, only for NL to meet it with a punch. The snake screams in agony
at the collision, before howling in pain as NLs punch reaches the nerves in its spine,
and he pulls it out from its lower back. The snake creates a giant dent as it falls to the
ground.
1726 NL hands its Command Level crystal to SL, who offers to hold onto it for him to
use later. BY and ZiY start attacking the dying snake to vent their hate, until its eyes
fully close. They make their way to the spiritual river, feeling overwhelmed by its
grandeur, as the spiritual energy courses through it.
1727 SL is protected by NL, while ZiYs nose bleeds from the pressure. SL tells NL to
let her withstand the force, as this is the minimum requirement in absorbing the river,
and clenches as the waves of energy wash over her, forcing herself to endure. The
energy is easy to absorb and would allow people to rapidly advance if they can
withstand the physical strain. SL is glad RY had helped her improve0 her stamina.
1728 LHM, LAC and DFX arrive, remarking on the spirit river and the size of the snake.
DFX greedily eyes the river, remarking that NL had saved them the trouble of dealing
with the snake. Seeing SLs group cultivating and the rivers docile appearance, LAC
charges forward and is overwhelmed by the change in pressure. DFX sneers at him,
before cloaking himself with spiritual energy and pushing forwards, alerting SL.
1729 While the energy in the river has diminished, SL fears that theres still enough for
DFX to advance to Command level. ZiY and BY fail to notice him, and SL is hesitant to
leave her cultivation to fight, when DST mentions the Spirit Absorption Crystal (
X Lng Jng) on DFXs head and reminds SL she had won a much larger one in the
raffle.
1730-1731 Noticing the steaming yellow paste, SL laughs since it resembles the Asian
conical hats that rice pickers use, when DST reminds her of the benefits. SL reluctantly
pulls out her SAC as DST laughs, and is grateful her group is too busy to notice. SLs
mind clears as the energy surges inside her and she instantly advances to 10th
ranked. DFX notices a decline in his rate of absorption due to SLs crystal, which
resembles a birds nest, and is infuriated since SL has superior versions of all his
treasures his SAC was only the size of a fingernail. He greedily eyes the SAC, wanting
to prevent SL from reaching Command level and to take the crystal for himself.

1731 DFX slowly creeps towards SL as shes distracted by the benefits of the SAC,
plotting to slay her and steal it before NL notices. DST wakes SL from her dream of
instantly reaching Saint level, when she senses DFXs killing intent.

Chapters 1732-1743 Hidden Dragon Territory 11


1732-1733 SL notices that DFX has used up his crystal and wants to steal hers. She
contemplates how to face him, when he suddenly attacks. SL blocks with her Clear
Shadow Sword, but the fluctuations in spiritual energy distorts BYs cultivation, causing
him to cough blood. SL tries to negotiate with DFX, but he reaches for it instead,
indicating his intention is also to remove her. SL deliberates over whether to teleport
or use DST, when NLs kick sends DFX flying and SL notices he had almost broken
through to Saint level.
1734 SL feels guilty that NL had suppressed his promotion in order to save her.
Realizing that NL is intent on killing him, DFX tries to reason using their past
friendship, CZs reaction and that SL would feel discontent if she didnt slay him
herself. NL ignores him and sends a ball of energy, when DFX uses his hidden trump
card, the Dragon Kings Decree ( Lng Wng Lng) to summon a giant shadow
dragon to swallow the attack. SL is stunned at the amount of treasures DFX has, when
he orders it to eat SL.
1735 NL panics as the dragons tongue heads towards SL, and is stunned when it
merely licks the SAC off her head. SL is depressed over losing its benefits while NL
prepares to face the dragon to protect her, but is weaker as the dragons energy
increased after swallowing the SAC.
1736 DFX gloats, asking if SL would rather fight him and drag NL into a losing battle or
end her own life. SL acts confident and fools DFX into thinking RY had appeared,
before running off. DFX chases her and LAC tries to follow but is blocked by BY, whose
strength is now on par with him. ZiY guards LHM despite being weaker, but LHM has
no intention of fighting and smiles as his loyalties are leaning more towards SL.
1737 ZiY doesnt act, knowing that LHM will intervene if she joins in the battle, but
worries over her group, since even DST might not match the current DFX. SL continues
running, unable to teleport or expose DST. DFX matches her speed and enjoys the
hunt, waiting for SL to slow by a fraction to attack. SL heads towards a jungle, only for
DFX to appear right in front of her.
1738 SL taunts DFX, asking if he thinks he can actually kill her. Believing SLs death is
inevitable, he summons frozen spikes from the ground, but the slight lag in his speed
allows SL to dodge in time and swing her CSS at him. DFX blocks with his palm, only
for the SGT to wrap around his legs.
1739 SL tosses a small ball and DFX dodges, thinking its a Spirit Bomb. However, SL
had actually thrown the SAC and catches it, taunting him. Infuriated, DFX cuts the
vines around him, thinking about what other treasures SL might use against him, while
SL runs until she sees a giant, dying tree and crawls inside.
1740 DFX appears just as SL has hidden herself and suppressed her vital signs. He
races ahead, only to return to the tree, and smashes it out of anger. The punch
narrowly misses SL and she emerges when DFX leaves, only to find him waiting for
her. Normal trees would be blown to pieces by his strength but the SGT had
coordinated with the dying tree, strengthening it to protect SL, giving her away.
1741 When SL asks if he senses something wrong, DFX starts to feel uneasy and
attacks her with his Ice Domain ( Bng Fng Sh Ji Sealed Ice World), sending
a torrent of snow and wind towards SL, eclipsing her. DFX smirks at her death but cant
find her corpse. Realizing that shes escaped, he smashes the ground, forming huge
dents, to vent his anger.
1742 The SGT had retracted its roots to create a hole in the ground for SL to slip into.
DFX fails to find SL when he scans for her, but approaches the SGT as he finds it useful
and decides it to take it from SL.

1743 SL laments her situation as DFX lifts her up along with the SGT, placing it over
his shoulder, and tries to search for her. SL contemplates sneaking away but decides
to catch him off guard and settle the matter instead, waiting for an opportunity. DFX
starts feeling anxious as the summoned dragon will only appear for a limited time and
wont be able to hold NL for long. While SL starts to poke her dagger through the bark.

Chapters 1744-1754 Hidden Dragon Territory 12


1744 SL manages to retract her dagger in time, when DFX plants the SGT back in the
ground. However, he notices the dagger marks and SL urges the SGT to run. DFX
realizes that the mark was recent and deliberate, while an attack he sends is not as
effective due to its increased defence.
1745 The SGT is out of sight when DFX realizes that SL had been right in front of him.
Impressed by how cunning she is, DFX is even more determined to kill her. SL is
shocked by how quickly DFX had managed to catch up with them and burrows into the
ground, telling the SGT to manipulate the ground above them.
1746 From her experiences in the Demonic Cave (chapter 744), SL has the SGT extend
its roots to create 4 paths, so that DFX would need to search them. DFX arrives at the
intersection and uses his spiritual energy to scan ahead. Three of the paths end after
1KM while another continues on. He charges ahead only to encounter the same
situation over and over again, unknowingly increasing the distance between them.
1747 Meanwhile SL studies the map, contemplating how to cross the broad Ink River
( M H) towards the 4th barrier and how to overcome the danger she senses from
it, since backtracking to find NL runs the risk of encountering DFX again. SL decides to
copy NL and use driftwood to cross (chapter 492) when DFX appears, seething in
anger. SL greets him with a smile, only for DFX to use his Dual Fire-Ice Sky attack (
Bng Hu Ling Chng Tin), sending an overwhelming force towards SL.
1748 The SGT weaves its vines like a spider web to block the ice element in the attack,
while SL uses her space to avoid the fire aspect. DFXs fury becomes shock when he
sees MFA, uncertain how he bypassed the age restriction. Since MFA is Saint ranked,
he reminds him that theres no animosity between Purgatory City and WYP, and to not
intervene, only to be refused and told to leave.
1749 Hearing DSTs tone, DFX confirms he isnt MFA but hesitates, demanding to know
if its SLs puppet. DST uses a flame attack, already set on destroying DFX before he
can spread this information. DFX manages to counter, and gains confidence, realizing
that MFAs strength is no longer Saint level. DST has a 60% chance of winning due to
his fighting experience and slightly higher power.
1750 SL is preoccupied with watching the fight, when a hideous octopus emerges from
the river, lured by SLs smell, and tries to swallow her. Unable to dodge, SL throws a
rock to block its mouth instead. The octopus chomps down on the rock, smashing its
teeth in the process and SL uses this opportunity to escape, only for one of its
tentacles to wrap around her waist.
1751 The octopus is at Command level and drools as it sweeps SL up. DFX watches on
from his fight and is delighted, cheering for the octopus to swallow her. SL is too weak
to resist, when the little fox appears and transforms the octopus into a defenceless
lamb, and SL uses her CSS to slice its neck.
1752 The octopus dodges and the sword only scrapes its forehead. SL runs as the
octopus reverts back and returns to the water to follow her. The SGT attempts to
retrain the tentacles with its vines, but doesnt last long due to the difference in
strength. The octopus soon catches SL and holds her by her feet as barbed spikes the
size of hair pins emerge on its tentacles.
1753 The octopus uses all 8 barbed tentacles to wrap SL up, and she almost faints
from the excruciating pain as the needles stab her, but has no trump cards left. In the
midst of their battle, DFX is delighted at SLs state and is certain that shes near
death, only to find that DST had used this time to escape.

1754 DST arrives in front of the octopus as DFX sneaks up behind him, preparing an
explosive attack. The octopus notices this and unleashes its own attack. DST counters
and the octopus is damaged by the impact. Rather than guarding against DFX, DST
continues attacking the octopus until it lets go of SL. DFX ignores SL since removing
DST would guarantee her end, and attacks his back as DST finishes off the octopus.

Chapters 1755-1768 Hidden Dragon Territory 13


1755 DST is sent flying and severely injured by the kick. DFX uses an ice blade and
manages to slice off DSTs arm. He panics when DST shows no reaction, as it shows
how ruthless he can be to himself and his opponents, sending multiple ice blades until
DST falls to the ground and has nowhere to run.
1756 DFX sneers as he approaches to finish MFA off, only to find explosives strapped
on him, igniting as MFA rushes towards him. MFAs body is blown to pieces while DFX is
also injured from the impact and cultivates to recover. In the fire stone, DST proudly
declares his survival to SL, leaving before DFX wakes.
1757 SL laments not using this chance to finish him, but DST warns her DFX would still
have tricks. DFX wakes as SL prepares to cross the Ink River, shocking her with his
recovery speed, and chases her. Although he hasnt fully recovered, his condition is
better than SLs, and arrives in front of her before she reaches the other side. Fearing
that she has more tricks, DFX immediately surrounds her with ice blades.
1758-1759 SL jumps into the river to avoid the attack and DFX decides against
chasing her, certain of her demise. SL starts feeling faint as she descends to the
bottom of the river, when DSTs cry wakes her. She eats a handful of Imperial ranked
pills and finds a hidden lava cave. DST remarks that it was formed by punches from a
war puppet, which could easily destroy them both, before sensing one and lamenting
SLs luck. He warns her that DFXs strength cant compare to it and urges her to climb
out of the river.
1760-1761 SL turns to see a 3m tall skeleton with an intimidating aura and eerie
laughter chasing them, and feels uneasy since with DFX she can at least outsmart
him. DFX had been tracking SLs breathing and sends an attack towards her, only for it
to hit the puppet. SL is stunned the puppet is so weak, when DST tells her to jump
back into the river. DFX continues attacking from the surface, while DST reveals that
the war puppet would follow anyone who offers it spiritual energy, and SL tries to coax
it through its dislike for DFX.
1762 SL realizes that DST had planned for the puppet to receive DFXs attack, and is
excited that even 10 DFXs cant compare. The puppet will eat anything containing
energy and SL feeds it 5 Purple Crystals, but it shows no response since she hasnt
given it enough, while DFX approaches.
1763 SL brings out the source stone filled with Purple Crystals (chapter 1704) and the
puppet swallows it without leaving a trace, but still doesnt react. DFX had followed
her, feeling uneasy, and presents the puppet with all the items he had, only to be
ignored. He demands to know whether SL had fed it already, when the puppet sends a
silly smile to SL and turns to face DFX with a terrifying gaze, causing him to flee.
1764 DFX uses his ice blades, followed by other attacks, but cant even damage the
puppet due to the disparity in strengths. SL happily watches on, telling the puppet not
to let him off, while DFX develops a sinking feeling and runs, only for the puppet to
punch him with a terrifying force.
1765 SL gloats, only to see the puppet has closed its eyes and fallen into a slumber. SL
confronts DST and is furious that she used so many Purple Crystals in exchange for a
single punch. SL contemplates whether to feed it more energy, when DFX starts
running. Confused why SL isnt chasing him, he suspects the puppet has run out of
energy and sneaks back.
1766 DFX sends a fire attack towards SL and flies in, feeding the puppet with his
treasures and dancing with joy when it accepts. SL remarks that shes finished when
DST assures her theres still hope and DFX is puzzled why she appears so calm.
1767 List of published chapters

1768 DFX gloats over his victory, telling SL to hand over all her Imperial ranked BCPs.
SL readily gives him a bottle, causing him to become suspicious and he forces a pill
down her throat.

Chapters 1769-1781 Hidden Dragon Territory 14


1769 DFX laughs when the pill works and demands that she takes out all her other
treasures, threatening to ruin her if she refuses. SL hands over her crystals and pills
before retreating, as the war puppet sits up and roars. DST had told her it hadnt run
out of energy, mocking DFX for recharging it while it was still SLs.
1770 DFXs face becomes ugly and he runs, only to be thrown down by the puppet.
However, the puppet sits back down, running out of energy again. Wanting to finish
DFX off, SL gives the puppet some of the prizes she had won from the raffle, watching
as it chases DFX towards a maze near the river.
1771 DFXs attack doesnt leave a mark on the maze walls and he rushes in, seeing
the war puppet. SL sits on the puppets shoulder, ordering it to follow DFX, only to lose
sight of him. SL continues directing the puppet through the maze, afraid that DFX
would use this time to recover, only to increase their distance. Meanwhile DFX finds a
safe place to cultivate, plotting his revenge against SL, only to run into NL.
1772 NL approaches, demanding to know where SL is. DFX is terrified, noticing NL has
progressed to Saint level and had slayed the dragon, but lies to NL that SL had fallen
into the river and was killed by the puppet.
1773 Without waiting for DFX to finish, NL traps him in a cage of wind blades,
subjecting him to the same treatment SL had received from him. DFX is overwhelmed
by NLs strength, and NL increases the pressure when he refuses to tell the truth.
Another shadow dragon appears behind DFX, as he starts channelling his energy,
dispersing the wind blades.
1774 DFX has also managed to advance to Saint ranked, and counters NLs wind
attack with an ice one. NL starts to sweat from the pressure, while DFXs attacks
become more dominating, promising to send NL to meet SL in the next life, secretly
unwilling to let SL die and reunite with him so easily.
1775 However, NL regards DFX as a clown, while DFX is infuriated as he starts
developing a sense of inferiority. DFX is shocked to find that NL has also learnt the
shadow dragons treasured Divine Right Hand technique ( Shn Zh Yu Shu),
which NL aims towards him.
1776 Unable to dodge, DFX tries to mend his injuries, when the attack causes him to
rebound off a wall and fall to the ground, coughing up blood. NL is about to finish him
off, when DFX warns that none of them can leave the HDT if he dies. NL frowns,
sensing he hadnt lied.
1777 Since DFX had received the shadow dragons inheritance, killing him would close
the HDT. NL leaves DFX severely injured instead, before leaving to find SL. Meanwhile
SL has gotten lost in the maze and is frustrated she cant help NL in his fight against
the dragon.
1778 The walls of the maze are 30ft tall and too sturdy to break through, when SL
recalls how she broke out of the Demonic Cave (chapter 763), and uses her space
magic to walk through the walls. SL walks in one direction until she becomes dizzy
from lack of energy and finds herself in a room surrounded by white jade walls and
pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes.
1779 SL is confused about her current location, when a small, purple shadow darts in
front of her, touching her finger with its paw and glancing at her with innocent eyes. It
blows bubbles around SL, which places her in a dream-like trance, and carries her
through a hidden door.
1780-1781 Meanwhile NL is tracing SLs steps in the maze, feeling concerned since it
gives off a dangerous feeling. At Saint level, his ears pick up a soft sound and he

arrives at the hall where SL had disappeared, running into an Archaic Tree of Man (
Yun G Rn Sh) a treasure which gathers Jade Essence ( Y Su Jng P)
in its top leaf, a simple source of energy which is easily absorbed, which flows down
from the lower leaves to form a pool at the base of the tree. Since the HDT had been
sealed for so long, no one had gathered the essence. NL approaches with caution, but
sends the pool of essence into his space ring when no beasts appear.

Chapters 1782-1794 Hidden Dragon Territory 15


1782 NL turns to leave when the trees leaves turn a light shade of pink, giving off a
shy feeling, and follows him. NL is confused why the tree is acting like a maiden but
thinks it could be useful for SL.
1783 NL extends his hand, and the tree readily agrees to leave with him. NL shrugs it
off as it tries to touch him, enduring for SLs sake, and leaves not knowing that SL has
been trapped here by a Saint ranked sable (). SL is unconscious behind the hidden
door and the sable watches on anxiously, before fetching a fiery red herb to cure her,
and crushing the juices to feed her.
1784 SL had been dragged into a magical space, which suppresses her space magic,
cutting her off from DST and the war puppet, reducing her to this state. The sable
continues feeding her the herbs, despairing as her condition seems to worsen instead,
sweating and burning up. The sable runs to fetch SL water, not knowing its actually
the same Jade Essence NL had stored and is detrimental to her in her current
condition.
1785-1786 The sable is proud of itself, when SL starts feeling immense pain and her
blood starts to thicken. While she had eaten the RBBG, the space prevents her from
circulating energy to recover. The pain makes SL want to tear at her flesh, and she
demands for the sable to release her. It reluctantly sends her out of the space,
realizing its good intentions have backfired, and SL starts cultivating to recover.
1787 The sable is shocked that the archaic tree and Jade Essence have vanished, while
SL is unable to expel the medicine the sable had fed her. DST eyes the sable, telling SL
to use a Red Shooting Lotus ( Yn Lu Hng Lin) to absorb it instead, allowing
her to improve her strength and Apothecary.
1788 The sable hesitates, warning her its dangerous, but SL has been feeding the war
puppet to protect her and sits on its shoulder to follow the sable. The sable had been
charged with guarding the archaic tree, but since it had left with NL, the sable readily
leads SL out, creating a path through the walls in the maze.
1789 SL arrives in front of a sea of fire, burning on a snow-covered ground. DST
explains that it has to do with the Laws of Heaven and Earth, something that SL will
comprehend when she reaches Saint level, when they spy the lotus amidst the flames
and DST urges her forward.
1790-1791 SL enters to find that the temperature is comfortable despite how it looks,
but remains alert as she feels unsettled. 4 clusters of flames start charging towards
her, only for the sable to eat them, remarking on how tasty it is. Seeing how much the
sable resembles it, SL starts missing the dragon, when several coloured flames start
attacking, and the sable climbs on SL, unable to protect her. SL uses her void armour
to shield them both, while the flames emit haunting voices, almost causing SL to
collapse, before retreating. DST tells her theyre ghost fires containing the tormented
souls of those who died in the fires, and their wails indicates that the Red Shooting
Lotus is about to awaken. The best time to pluck the RSL is right before it wakes, but
once it stirs, everything will be burnt away.
1792 SL realizes that she doesnt have enough time to backtrack and find NL and has
the war puppet carry her across. They encounter less flames, as theyre all heading
towards the Acheron River in front of them.
1793 SL sees a flaming red bridge, formed by the ghost fires, emitting a hostile aura
which impacts the mind. SL prepares to step on the bridge, eating pills and mentally
preparing herself, when shes hit with waves of malice and hatred. This intensifies as
she travels across, but there are only 12 hours before the lotus awakens, while the
bridge is 10KM and would take hours to cross.

1794 SL hears a howl, while a gruesome face appears near hers. SL fights down her
disgust, covering her eyes with a blindfold and using her void armour to continue. As
she progresses, she starts developing resistance towards the mental burden, when she
hears a noise and starts charging forward.

Chapters 1795-1806 Hidden Dragon Territory 16


1795-1796 The impact causes SL to cough blood, as the resentment increases
exponentially further along the bridge, where all the strong souls linger. 5,000M in, SL
has only walked halfway when she starts to crumble, overwhelmed by the pressure.
Seeing SL continue on unrelenting, the sable decides to help her and sucks up the
souls, allowing SL to rush to the 6,000M mark. The sable faints in SLs arms and SL
blacks out under the increased pressure, when she wakes to find that her injuries have
slightly recovered. Resisting the animosity in the bridge has allowed SL to grow more
resilient, improving her strength and physical condition, but there are only 6 hours
remaining.
1797 SL continues walking as she trembles and blood oozes from her pores, until her
body is covered with blood and she loses all sensation of pain. Unable to watch on,
DST tells her to stop before she dies, but SL is already 7,900M in. As she stumbles,
SLs body is flung back and she manages to grab onto the bridge but is sent back to
the 6,000M mark.
1798 SL laments her bad luck when DST offers to help, possessing and strengthening
her body to leap towards the 9,000M mark. He mocks her strength, before returning
her body and falling into a coma. The pressure weighs down on SL and she resolves
herself to get the RSL but is unable to move forward.
1799 SL sits and cultivates on the bridge, as blood and sweat flow, and the pain feels
as though shes being torn to pieces. Under these circumstances, she manages to
comprehend the gravity aspect of space magic ( Zhng L Kng Jin) and the
impurities wash away from her skin, leaving it milky white.
1800-1801 As SL is stronger, the overwhelming pressure now appears mild and she
runs across the bridge in peak condition, only feeling strong resistance in the last
200M. Drained, she continues, relying on sheer willpower, when the souls become
restless, intensifying the pressure on her injuries. The pain becomes excruciating in
the last hundred metres and she laughs in relief when she finally reaches the other
side with an hour to spare, unaware of the upcoming challenges.
1802 SL studies the map, when she finds herself surrounded by numerous war
puppets. While the rest are inferior to hers, their leader is almost identical, only blue
instead of red. The blue puppet attacks SL and she dodges due to her improved
condition. SL summons her red puppet from her space, and the two puppets regard
each other with disdain but are equally matched.
1803 The other puppets rush towards SL, becoming weaker as they enter her gravity
field. SL takes out her CSS and swings it, cutting the puppets into pieces. Sneering at
how weak they are, she decides to train the precision of her swordsmanship and the
20 puppets are decapitated in the same place. Turning them into junk, SL falls back
and watches the two superior puppets fight.
1804-1805 The blue puppet is in a better position as it has higher energy reserves
than SLs, which attacks the blue puppet in rage for trapping it below the river. The red
puppet uses all its energy to send the blue puppet flying, before falling down, drained.
However, the blue puppet picks itself up, and approaches SL with a condescending
sneer. Due to her ties with the red puppet, the blue puppet wont allow SL to live. SL
has no energy or trump cards left, and is unable to resist when it picks her up and
clenches its fists, crushing her. SL turns purple and faints, only to wake up to find NL in
the midst of beating up the puppet.
1806 A ball of energy hits the blue puppet, exploding into scattering petals which cling
onto it, expanding and sealing it. NL pulls the plum flower from his shoulder and sends
it into his space ring, only for it to climb out of the space and cling to him. NL

embraces SL, drawing her into a kiss, only for the plum blossom to appear between
them, glaring at SL.

Chapters 1807-1821 Hidden Dragon Territory 17


1807 NL offers the plum blossom to the disgruntled SL, causing it to cry and climb into
NLs space ring, while SL doubts its reliable enough to use. NL offers to train it for SL,
and she realizes they had narrowly missed each other in the maze.
1808 SL remembers that she needs to get the RSL, and DST taunts that she had spent
half of the 30 minutes she had flirting. NL carries SL towards the RSL, with all the
ghost flames becoming subservient in his presence, and she notices hes become
Saint ranked, feeling that her own promotion is inferior.
1809-1810 They arrive at a gentle stream, flowing with sparkling blue water, when SL
sees a white lotus on a floating platform. DST tells her it isnt the RSL since the energy
within it isnt pure enough. They only have a few minutes left to find the real one,
when NL sends a wind blade towards the base of the stream, revealing a small, red
lotus, and carries SL towards it so that it would recognize her when she picks it. A few
hundred metres away, DFX watches on, seething with envy that SL has found an RSL
and is determined to prevent it. He pulls out a dagger and slices his wrist, evoking a
blood sacrifice ritual.
1811-1812 DFXs blood starts to expand through the ground, freezing SL and NL still,
but DFX is currently too weak to finish them off. Instead he reaches for the RSL, which
releases a cyclone as its defence mechanism. As his body is too injured to withstand it,
DFX turns and runs, leaving SL and NL behind as the RSL blooms. The temperature
suddenly rises and the magma erupts. Unable to move, NL forms a blood contract with
the plum blossom and tries to shield SL from the flames. SL prepares to die, filled with
regret, when a voice whispers for her to live and she wakes to find herself lying on a
lotus petal.
1813 NL is lying next to her and both their clothes have been burnt off. She dresses
them and calls for DST, only to find no response. SL panics when she cant sense him
and shakes NL awake.
1814 NL reveals that when he was prepared to sacrifice himself to save her, DST
appeared and shielded them both, using a soul-consuming technique. He comforts SL
that both of them would readily die for her.
1815-1816 SL starts crying, grieving that she was almost strong enough to help him
form his own body, when NL reminds her to take the RSL that DST had died for. As SLs
current state is too weak, they spend their time cultivating. SL starts to recover but NL
is still severely injured, when she recalls that theyve gone over the 3 months HDT
remains open for. A voice asks her if she wants to leave, and SL is shocked to find that
DST had been swallowed by the RSL and has merged with it.
1817 The RSLs behaviour resembles DST, but it cant recall its past. Its arrogant
manner causes SL to think that it might be too proud to form a contract with her, when
it tells her to start merging its 64 petals.
1818-1819 SL tries to merge the petals based on how she merges the strips of space,
but is unable to figure out how to approach it. After the explosion, DFX had ran away,
shocked at the magnitude of the eruption and certain of SL and NLs deaths, when he
becomes buried in the magma. DFX wakes to find that hes still alive but his condition
is poor and hes uncertain how long HDT will remain open. He reaches the end of the
HDT, running into ZiY and BY, who demand to know where SL and NL are.
1820-1821 DFX taunts them without revealing anything, before rushing out of the HDT.
ZiY and BY decide to stay and search for SL and NL, but are unable to find them, when
the door starts to close. Unwilling to believe that theyve died, the two stand at the
doorway, preventing the entrance from closing, relying on the crystals in their space

ring for energy. Meanwhile SL has an epiphany about the petals just as NL wakes from
his cultivation.

Chapters 1822-1833 Hidden Dragon Territory 18


1822 SL rapidly places one petal on top of another, as they seamlessly merge, taking
up the same space, and realizes that she can leave the HDT using the same method.
SL spends a year fusing the strips, to discover that her gravity field is twice as
effective. While NL laments that he needs to leave her so that she can grow, as SL is
currently at the peak of 10th ranked and only needs an opportunity to advance.
1823-1824 SL completes her task and demands that the RSL reveal the way out when
NL reminds her to pick it, using his aura to suppress it into agreeing. The RSL starts to
bloom, spreading its petals and extending its roots, to reveal a little Ginseng Baby in a
red apron (chapter 1134). SL coos over the baby, pushing NL aside as the RSL secretly
revels in NLs fury. Vexed that he ranks below the baby, NL demands for SL to hand it
over, only for SL to rebuff him.
1825 Seeing the babys pitiful look, SL reprimands NL for wanting to bully it. Stunned
by SLs maternal instinct, NL calms himself before trying to advise her against raising
the baby, feeling vexed when she refuses and coaxes the it instead.
1826 SL regards the child as innocent, while it secretly smirks at NL and opens a path
in the magma. NL leads SL out, secretly determined not to let SL have children so he
wont have to share her. They race to the exit, with SL reminding him that theyre 9
months too late.
1827 NL is certain the RSL can lead them out, when they discover the HDT door is still
open. SL spies two statues at the doorway and is shocked to find that its ZiY and BY,
who have remained there for 9 months and are barely alive. SL treats them, while NL
circulates his energy through them, reassuring SL.
1828 BY and ZiY are no longer in danger of dying but still havent woken up, when the
little baby in SLs arms spits out two small flames towards them, returning the warmth
to their bodies. NL is certain that the physical strain of guarding the entrance and the
lotus flames would improve their cultivation, when he notices the baby has crawled
back in SLs arms and is greedily absorbing the pure aura around her.
1829 BY and ZiY sleep for 3 days, when BY slowly opens his eyes and sees his frumpy
appearance reflected in SLs. He rushes to tidy himself, when he notices the child in
SLs arms, and congratulates NL for his fast work, since only the two of them had been
trapped in the HDT. NL secretly rages, not wanting such a scheming child, when BY
changes and ZiY wakes up.
1830 ZiY is shocked at the child, when SL reveals its the RSL. They recount their
experiences, with ZiY telling SL that LHM had died after being clawed by the shadow
dragon when it was fighting NL, while LAC was beaten to death by NL after he realized
SL was gone. ZiY and BY had wanted to follow NL, but he raced ahead, and they had
arrived at the maze after SL and NL had emptied it. Hearing SLs experience, they
regret not killing DFX, when SL smirks that they still havent exposed the LYY matter.
1831 BY becomes curious, seeing the gleam in ZiYs eyes, when SL asks them what
rank they are. ZiY is shocked to find that shes 10 th ranked, while BY has reached
Command level, with their experiences bringing so many benefits. Theyre about to
leave when the sable mentions an herb that can raise the levels of a group of experts
will mature in a month and SL decides to stay, sending ZiY and BY ahead.
1832 Watching them leave, SL is grateful to have such good friends. Returning to the
mainland, DFX gloats over being the only one to survive and that at Saint level, he
could easily dominate Dong Ling. Sitting on the throne, DFX has slayed the royal
family, leaving only the Jin Emperor alive to hear of NLs death.
1833 The Emperor despairs since only NL could oppose DFX, while DFX surmises that
his fall is due to SL driving a wedge between NL and the Jade Lake, revealing that he

wont let any of NLs supporters survive, including the Beichen family, An Ye family,
Lan family and Luo Yu Dian. DFX reveals that hell let the Emperor live if he kneels
before him like a dog, before calling out SZ.

Chapters 1834-1843 End of the First Arc 1


1834 SZ barks like a dog and DFX is delighted SLs father has fallen so low, while the
Emperor vows that NL will retaliate, before biting his own tongue, committing suicide,
only for DFX to kick his corpse aside. SZ sneers at SLs demise, while DFX calls for the
Nangong familys eradication. The three stooges and ZiY arrive to find the Emperor
has already died, while DFX mocks ZiY and BY for abandoning their friends in the end.
BY retorts that NL hasnt died, and DFX howls with laughter.
1835 DFX asks BY how he wants to die, but will let ZiY off for CZs sake if she grovels.
With NLs death, DFX is unopposed since CZ wouldnt act against him, while RY
wouldnt be interested in the matters of the younger generation. ZiY continues
insisting that NL is alive, and DFX aims an attack, causing her to collapse.
1836 Thinking of the consequences if NL and all his allies retaliate, DFX starts to feel
uneasy, when the heavily pregnant LYY appears. DFX hugs her and LYY leans into his
embrace, asking him how ZiY will be sorted. DFX tells her to concentrate on the baby,
when LYY sees ZiY and recalls her humiliating experience. LYY trembles, feeling waves
of intense pain from her stomach.
1837 DFX is currently stronger than the Jade Lake elders and LYY had wanted to
remove the beggar to silence him but couldnt find him. DFX is worried as LYY was
meant to give birth earlier. The baby is born at the Jade Lake and DFX is shocked that
it looks like an ugly monkey. Out of fear, the midwife remarks that all babies are
wrinkly and ugly when theyre born, as LYY continues muttering about ZiY. Thinking LYY
is pleading for her, DFX tells her not to worry, before leaving to finish off the four
families.
1838 In the dungeons, BY assures AYM and LX that NL is still alive as DFX listens on,
thinking that if NL survives, hed at least have a rival. LYY pretends to plea for ZiY,
mentioning how shes now 10th ranked, knowing that DFX hates anyone more talented
than him. DFX orders their deaths for the following day.
1839 DFX laughs, leading LYY away by her waist, while his prisoners despair as NL
needs more time to leave HDT. ZiY remarks that theyll face their deaths if it comes,
eating food from her space ring as LYY had poisoned all her meals. The following day,
DFX tells them to slay each other until only one remains, guaranteeing the life of the
winner. He distributes swords, anticipating a brutal fight.
1840 DFX tells them to start, feeling even more elated than with his sons birth,
reminding them theyd all die if they dont fight. BY is the strongest since ZiY is 10 th
ranked, while AYM and LX are 9th. Since defeating DFX is impossible, the three stooges
simultaneously stab themselves in the heart, to ZiYs horror, allowing her to live. ZiY
cries in front of BY as he apologizes and tells her to keep living.
1841 BYs apology is for forcing her to endure LYYs treatment in order to wait for NLs
return, while he confesses his feelings, finally giving up his affections for SL and
responding to ZiYs. ZiY cries, trying to shake him awake and reciprocating his
confession. DFX watches stunned, since he had wanted them to fight to prove how
fragile their bonds are. DFX is envious of their bonds with NL while he has remained
alone, but laughs thinking theyve all died in the end, when SL and NL arrive.
1842 SL rushes to BY, administering emergency treatment using RYs pills and her
blood. SL seals his acupuncture points and sighs in relief when his wound starts to heal
and his pulse is steady, before working on LX and AYM the same way. BY and AYM are
safe, but SL had waited too long to treat LX and is running out of energy. SL continues
despite her exhaustion, unwilling to let NL lose him.
1843 SL coughs up blood, but LX is safe. Meanwhile NL has been fighting with DFX,
and SL stands in front of LX to shield him from the impact. LiYY appears at the door.

Knowing that shes unlikely to defeat him, SL smiles, asking him why hes still free to
create mischief when he doesnt have any sons left. LiYY is shocked since DFX had told
him LAC was fine.

Chapters 1844-1854 End of the First Arc 2


1844 SL states that she had witnessed DFX personally slaying LAC due to his luck with
the raffle and source stones. DFX is preoccupied with his fight and doesnt have time
to retort, so SL tells LiYY to take it as a sign of his guilt. LYY accuses SL of sowing
discord, while LiYY is still stuck on LACs death. SL confirms that LAC has died, while
she had killed Li Ao Tian. She then asks if the Jade Lakes impotence is hereditary and
if LAQ suffers from it. The Command level LiYY rages and SL is determined to stand on
her own.
1845 Although LiYY is stronger, SL is confident NL can safely defeat DFX, when the Li
Family Ancestor arrives. LFA addresses NL, regretting that his marriage with LYY fell
through and over their current relationship. NL smiles coldly, telling him that the Jade
Lake thinks too highly of themselves.
1846 Not wanting to kill NL, LFA asks if the marriage was still salvageable if he had
intervened, when NL reveals that he intends on removing the Jade Lake from the top
10 families. LFAs strength is on par with NL and they fight. DFX falls back, sneering
since hes free to remove the weaker SL. SLs response is slower since she no longer
has DST to warn her and DFX sends an attack towards her, smirking with LiYY.
1847 Anticipating NLs reaction over SLs death, DFX is shocked to find that hes
indifferent, when NL sends a wind blade towards him. DFX searches for SLs corpse,
only to find her unharmed and smiling, revealing the RSL. DFX is filled with regret
since it had been within his grasp but he had chosen to flee instead.
1848 LiYY is shocked that SL has such a treasure, which fully counters DFXs ice
attacks, and is determined to kill her before she becomes stronger. LiYY and DFX both
attack SL as she taunts them for their despicable acts. Unable to dodge, SLs blood
sprays on DFX when she mocks him for wasting precious medicine and DFX is
determined to drain her after she dies.
1849 SL contemplates whether to use the war puppet or her spirit pets, when their
simultaneous attack freezes in front of her. SLs mood soars as she sees RY floating in
the sky and runs to greet him, hugging his arm. RY notices the blood near SLs mouth
and the air turns cold.
1850 DFX and LiYY cower in front of RY as he questions them, aware that SL is not only
an exception for NL but also for RY. RY is infuriated they had harmed SL, asking them
how they want to die, the same way DFX had asked BY (chapter 1835). SL gloats since
she has RYs backing while LiYY argues that RY shouldnt intervene in the fights of the
younger generation, while DFX mentions that CZ will compensate him after.
1851 RY takes their response as waiting for him to kill them, while LiYY and DFX are
shocked that the indifferent RY is so angry. Unwilling to die so easily, they both attack
RY, only to be frozen still. DFX despairs that he cant even scratch RY, while SL smiles,
praising RYs strength.
1852-1853 RY places them in his space, telling SL to sort them out, and she pulls out
her YH dagger. DFX despairs since the animosity between him and SL means hell die
horribly, while SL prevents him from biting off his tongue, cutting off his right hand
instead. SL has never hated anyone as much as DFX and plans to torture him as
payback for all the suffering hes caused her and her friends, when DFX and the Jade
Lake light up at CZs arrival. SL has mixed feeling as she had always been curious
about CZ, when RY stands in front of her and freezes her movements. CZ reprimands
RY for bullying the weak, while RY asks how his search is going. DFX is delighted since
now he still has a chance of winning, when SL sneezes.
1854 CZ glances towards SL and stiffens when he sees her face. RY sighs as CZ
approaches SL with love, shock and dedication flashing through his eyes. DFX fails to

see this as hes behind CZ, reporting the enmity between him and SL, and vowing that
hell take his revenge. SL is uncertain how to interact with the approaching CZ, as RY
moves to the side. DFX declares that CZ doesnt need to act and that he can settle the
matter himself, when CZ emits killing intent and sends DFX flying. RY sighs, lamenting
that these meetings are inevitable and SL will soon encounter that lunatic. Meanwhile,
DFX is confused but remains silent, since CZ is often moody and unpredictable.

Chapters 1855-1864 End of the First Arc 3


1855 CZ remarks that SL is the child, realizing why RY had taken a disciple, and
claims her under his custody, causing DFX to feel unsettled. CZ has DFX repeat his
declaration of revenge against SL, before smiling and sending him flying. DFX coughs
blood, while he and several others are shocked at CZs reaction.
1856 LYY sees that SL has remained calm throughout this scene, as though it was
something she had expected. CZ smiles at SL, asking if shes satisfied, only for her to
retort that it cant be written off so easily. Everyone is shocked when CZ seems even
happier, and readily agrees to have DFX killed. DFX is stunned CZ can abandon him so
easily, and hugs his thigh.
1857 CZ sighs, asking DFX if he remembers what he had said when he first accepted
DFX as his disciple. DFX recalls that he doesnt need to remain loyal to Purgatory City
but needs to dedicate his life to protecting someone, only they were never found. CZ
reveals that the person is SL, and DFX turns pale as CZ asks SL how she would deal
with her servant. SL is amazed at how dedicated CZ is to YH, before ordering DFXs
death. DFX despairs that CZ can so easily cast aside their ties, when he remembers
that he had acted against the person he was meant to protect. Resigning himself, he
asks CZ to spare the child he has with LYY, as its his only heir.
1858 CZ beckons the terrified LYY over and frowns when he sees the baby, as SL asks
DFX if its really his. LYY trembles as she holds the child, terrified SL will reveal her
experience with the beggar. She kneels before CZ, crying that SL had humiliated her,
and insulted CZ and Purgatory City. While sensing his unusual relationship with SL, LYY
is relying on the fact that CZ had always spoiled her.
1859 LYY lies that SL had destroyed her cultivation and asks for retribution. CZ coldly
smiles, asking her what she wants, causing LYY to tremble, before turning to SL and
asking the same. LYY starts regretting her actions when SL tells CZ to remove the Jade
Lake. LiYY and LFA laugh since SLs word wouldnt remove such a huge family with a
strong legacy. LiYY points at SL, only to have his right hand removed.
1860 LiYY is stunned but CZ doesnt even bother to explain his actions. LiYY glares
hatefully at SL, only for his eyes to burst. Seeing such a ruthless and volatile person
act on her behalf, SL feels guilty since he isnt her real father. LYY is too scared to look
at SL while CZ asks LiYY how he wants to die.
1861-1862 LiYY retorts that even CZ doesnt have the right to decide the fate of the
Jade Lake, when CZ decapitates him. LYY screams as her fathers head rolls to the
ground, while LFA is too numb to avenge him. DFX had always had some weight in
CZs mind, but is stunned at how protective he is towards SL. CZ asks LFA if he wants
to avenge his son, but due to his overwhelming strength, LFA hides his hatred and
begs for mercy instead, thinking CZ will let them off to avoid being publicly
condemned. However, CZ aims a dark cloud towards the Jade Lake, causing it to
vanish as LYY kowtows for him to reverse it. DFX tells her CZ never changes his mind
and begs SL to let his son off instead.
1863 SL feels that DFX is pitiful, pleading so hard for a child that isnt even his, when
CZ sneers and reveals it to him. DFX injects his energy in the child, throwing it away
when he realizes it doesnt have a trace of his blood. Infuriated that LYY had used him,
he grabs her neck, shaking it while demanding she reveal the childs paternity, only for
her breathing to fade, and she falls to the ground, dead. Going insane after killing his
beloved, he stabs himself in the heart, killing himself as SL had wanted.
1864 SL feels a sense of relief and disbelief that LYY has finally gone after being
chased by her for so long. RY reprimands CZ for intervening and preventing SLs
growth, but CZ remarks that the restriction only applies to him, discontent at how RY
had let SL suffer. As the only disciple he had cared about was NL, he never had to

consider these things, but continues arguing with RY over who SL will leave with. SL is
dumbfounded over how childish these experts are, but starts to head towards RY since
she trusts and feels closer to him.

Chapters 1865-1872 End of the First Arc 4


1865 RYs eyes flash with pride, when CZ remarks that they should fight over it since
SL has trouble deciding, shamelessly ignoring SLs choice. SL remains silent since CZ
had helped her, and he squeezes her cheeks, telling her to pack. CZs face had been
blurred before, but SL catches a glimpse to find that its around 30 years old and
breathtakingly beautiful. NL sighs as SL continues to stare, regretting that SL has seen
CZs appearance, while reminding her that the one he loves is YH. SL wonders what
type of person her father is and NL promises theyll find him together, feeling gratified
that their love is mutual.
1866 SL hears a groan and finds SZ severely injured, lying in a pool of his own blood.
He regrets spending his life trying to get close to various powers when SL couldve
easily elevated the Su Manor through her ties with RY and CZ. SL sighs in front of SZ,
amazed at how many grudges have been settled, when she realizes that CZ had
intentionally taken SZ out when he was attacking LiYY. Meanwhile BY has woken up
and asks SL why she didnt agree to go to Purgatory City since its so hard to enter.
1867 ZiY reveals that it usually only accepts children below 3, with few entering at a
higher age, while Purgatory City would easily occupy 9 of the top 10 places in the
Dragon Ranking List if they had all entered. SL is confused why BY wasnt recruited,
but some talent needs to remain outside to balance the power within the continent.
However, Purgatory City is a good place to train as it has a tower that increases
training speed by 10. Tempted, SL turns to NL, who tells SL to head to Purgatory City
but he will be leaving for Crafty Thorn instead.
1868 Seeing that SL is unwilling to part with him, NL reveals that only Crafty Thorn has
dark element manuals and tells her to advance to Grand Master Apothecarist when he
returns. SL blushes and NL is unwilling to leave but needs the strength to protect her,
vowing to one day shield her the way CZ had. NL sighs, thinking of his familys
destruction. He had regarded the Emperor the same way SL saw SZ, and knows they
dont have blood ties.
1869 The stooges have mostly recovered and plead with SL over the benefits of
Purgatory City since only she can bring them in. SL is relieved since she didnt want to
be alone with CZ, while their families were heavily injured by DFX and the Jade Lake.
Meanwhile CZ has managed to win against RY, since he spends most of his time
refining pills, but RY warns him that SL can only be an ordinary disciple in order to
grow, while CZ had wanted to spoil her.
1870 CZ waits for SL to finish cultivating, telling her to refer to him as her adoptive
father. Seeing that SL remains calm and indifferent, CZ feels that this is appropriate,
when SL asks if she can bring her friends. CZ tells her not to worry about small things,
handing her the citys highest ranked token, which allows her to act as his proxy.
1871 Sensing SLs unease, CZ tells her to keep it for emergencies and gives her a gold
token to use instead. The tokens from lowest to highest are: bronze, silver, gold, jade
and CZs unique diamond token. He also gives her a small, golden boat, telling her to
ask ZiY how to use it, before leaving to search for news of YH. NL had already left,
leaving a letter with the words Wait for me. SL is worried since NL needs to infiltrate
Crafty Thorn to gain their secrets, while the stooges are still too injured to travel to
Purgatory City, when ZiY notices the boat in SLs hands.
1872 Taking SLs blood, ZiY places it on the boat, causing it to emit spiritual energy. It
expands on SLs command and shes shocked to find even the interior is made out of
