Chapters 1014-1024 Li Yao Yao and Situ Ming

1014-1015 Rong Yun worries over Su Luo and gives Nangong Liuyun a veiled threat to keep her safe. NL

carries SL down Misty Cloud Peak and they head north on the Dragon-Scaled Horse to Mu Xian Temple. As

the north is cold, especially in early winter, NL keeps SL wrapped in furs, while learning to cook and

personality making congee for her since locals feast on hot, spicy food unsuited to her weak constitution.

1016-1017 Two people emerge from the snow – a gentle but strong looking man, and Li Yao Yao. LYY

rushes to greet NL, only for him to ignore her due to his promise (chapter 1013). LYY notices the ball of fur

that is SL, and asks about it. NL tells her to leave, causing her to cry and apologize. LYY retorts that she’s

better than SL in terms of looks, talent and background, and continues crying to the indifferent NL. The

man she arrived with, Sītú Míng (司徒溟), is their second apprentice brother and is angered by NL’s

attitude towards LYY. STM is in love with LYY but stepped aside since she likes NL, only to find he chose

someone else. LYY continues demanding to know who the fur ball is.

1018 NL tells LYY she doesn’t have the right to know, infuriating STM with his rudeness. SL, feeling LYY’s

glare, reveals her face. LYY is shocked since it’s so beautiful yet familiar, only confirming its SL when she

hears her taunts, causing LYY to go mad with jealousy.

1019 This confirms SL was the one Yan Xia was looking for, that SL’s mother is YH – the leader (Empress) of

the continent – and that LYY’s background and beauty can’t compare. STM is also shocked since SL

resembles the face on a wooden engraving his master treasured. NL reprimands SL for risking her health,

while LYY is envious since SL and NL are a perfect match, but still refuses to give on up him.

1020 LYY acts friendly towards SL, congratulating her on her background, causing SL to feel uneasy since

she hasn’t given up. SL falls back into NL’s embrace, kissing his forehead and ignoring LYY. LYY then notices

the rice and asks SL if she’s eaten, before serving some for herself. LYY praises NL, stating his rice is as

fragrant and appetizing as his sweet potatoes.

1021-1022 STM joins in, praising NL since congee is suitable for the weather, while expressing his

dissatisfaction with SL for not being the one to cook. NL retaliates by breaking LYY’s bowl, and the congee

falls on LYY’s dress, causing her to cry and STM to flare up. NL places SL down, gearing to fight. SL doesn’t

want to create a rift, while STM is uncomfortable since they’re fellow disciples, but NL is confident he’d win

and intimidates STM. LYY tries to mediate, only for NL to hint he knows all about her actions and threaten

to kill her if she harms SL again. LYY and STM both stare bitterly at NL.

1023 STM defends LYY, only for NL to retort that her feelings shouldn’t justify harming SL, and that STM is

blinded by her looks. NL carries SL out. His attitude is to treat enemies with the ruthlessness of bandits and

lovers with the warmth of spring. The disparity causes LYY to despair, and SL to praise him. NL promises to

never let SL be harmed, while he treats LYY coldly because they’re strangers.

1024 SL brings up the trip to the Sunset Mountain Range, causing NL to become flustered, but forgives him

due to his current performance. As martial artists, LYY and STM overhear this conversation, with LYY feeling

faint and crying to STM to help her since she can’t live without NL. She tells him she’d like to return to how

things were before, hinting for STM to remove SL. STM feels NL’s attitude is pretty clear, but broods over it

since he can’t refuse LYY.

Chapters 1025-1034 Li Yao Yao’s Trap

1025-1026 SL wakes to find LYY and STM had left. NL tells her not to be concerned, and they pack and head

further north. SL complains how uneventful it is, but NL reminds her it means they’re safe. NL senses

something, telling SL to stay in the carriage, when three Snow Lions (雪落狻猊 Xuě Luò Suān Ní) appear,

filled with bloodlust. The lions circle NL, leaping towards him, only for him to dodge and slice one. He only

manages to injure its hind leg despite using 70% of his power. Snow Lions are born 5th ranked and can easily

break into 10th to fight on par with dragons. SL finds it unusual that the lions would deliberately target

them, while the 2 uninjured lions are angered over NL’s action and scare the DSH with their roars.

1027 The DSH runs off, injuring SL who’s sitting in the carriage, until the little dragon appears to knock it

out. The dragon cries upon seeing SL cough up blood and overhears her lamenting not running into a Nine-

Tailed Demon Fox (九尾灵狐 Jiǔ Wěi Líng Hú) – a rare spiritual beast whose blood can reduce her injuries –

though not as effectively as the Red-Black Blood Ginseng. A small white fox appears, licking at her blood

amongst the snow, and SL notices it has 9 tails.

1028 Hearing SL, the dragon darts towards the fox, chasing after it. SL watches on and has an epiphany

about teleporting. She has mastered the Spirit Dance Steps but hasn’t been able to teleport. A sword

appears at her neck, as a man dressed in white attempts to assassinate her. However, SL and the DSH can’t

move, NL and the dragon are preoccupied, while the Languishing Red Bean tree is still injured

1029 NL is still surrounded by the snow lions, and is now using his fists. The lions are scared but too proud

to back down. They charge, only to have NL break one’s skull apart, while another was already injured by

his sword. As they charge towards NL again, LYY and STM look down from a mountain. STM reassures LYY

that NL will be safe, while LYY asks STM if he regrets helping her. He had once saved a snow lion and

reluctantly asked it to help fight NL. But STM would give his life to make LYY happy.

1030 After NL is distracted, SL would be defenceless against their assassin. However, STM fears CZ’s

reaction since SL looks like the woman in his wood carving. SL is watching NL, who’s killed 2 of the snow

lions and is desperately racing towards her. Another flash of inspiration, SL manages to teleport 10 metres

away, dodging the assassin’s sword.

1031-1032 The assassin is confused, and tries tracing her movement, only for NL to aim a fist at his back,

killing him. NL catches a falling SL, filled with remorse since he had almost lost her again. SL soothes him,

while telling him the little dragon is catching a 9 tailed fox. NL carries SL towards the dragon, with SL feeling

uneasy since NL allowed one lion to escape in order to save her, and the pride will retaliate once it informs

them. NL continues providing SL with spiritual energy, while LYY rages since SL survived. STM is secretly

relieved since he fears CZ, but is coaxed by LYY into helping her again. Unknown to him, he’ll suffer at the

hands of his loved one in the near future.

1033-1034 NL feeds SL a Life Restoring Pill, when the dragon returns with the fainted fox in his mouth. SL

praises it, noticing the fox hasn’t been damaged. NL takes out a dagger to slit its throat, when the fox wakes

and curls into a ball out of fear. SL stops NL, since 9 tailed foxes are rare and it only has enough blood for

one dose. SL feeds it a LRP, causing it to brim with vitality, while NL extracts a cup of blood from it. The

dragon heals the fox with its saliva, guarding it to prevent it from running. SL drinks its blood before falling

asleep. They leave on the DSH.

Chapters 1035-1045 Snow Lions’ Vengeance

1035 SL wakes to find her body has improved and that breathing is no longer painful. NL continues taking

care of her like a house husband, making SL feel touched. She’s about to bring up their wedding, when the

escaped snow lion emerges, having chased after them rather than reporting to its pride. NL urges the

carriage on since SL is still injured, and SL feels guilty since she can’t help NL.

1036-1037 NL leaves the carriage, glaring at the DSH for being scared last time, when they see Beichen Ying

and Zi Yan fighting the 9th ranked lion. The lion pounces towards BY, only for NL to emerge and stab its

back. The lion glares hatefully at NL, charging towards him, only to have one front leg and one back leg

removed. Turning to run, it’s impaled by NL’s sword and dies. BY is delighted at seeing NL after 2 years and

shocked that he’s now 10th ranked. BY had trained in harsh environments and only managed to reach 8th

rank, while ZiY is still 7th. BY asks about SL, who emerges from the carriage.

1038 BY rushes to hug SL, only to be thrown by NL. They notice SL’s injured state. Inviting them in the

carriage, SL tells them not to worry since she hasn’t died yet, angering NL. Seeing how distraught NL is over

possibly losing SL, they realize the extent of his feelings and BY quietly buries his own in his heart.

1039-1040 ZiY wonders how SL came to this state since she left her with NL (chapter 975). SL tells them it

was YX, and that NL killed her, leaving them shocked. BY notices SL nestled in NL’s arms, looking happy and

is relieved for her. NL looks at BY knowingly, while ZiY asks SL why RY didn’t heal her. SL tells them the only

way is to go to MXT. ZiY and BY react and SL realizes that LYY also knows and is here to obstruct her. NL

asks why the snow lion attacked them, causing ZiY to rage and ask NL to avenge her since they helped him

by preventing it from running back to its pride. NL remarks that they actually ruined his plans.

1041 Near the MXT, they run into LYY, STM and LYY’s cousins – the siblings Luo Hao Chen and Luo Die Yi

(827-962). The two parties confront each other over their reasons for going to MXT, while LYY knows SL

needs the RBBG, and wants to obstruct her, so she threatens to leave.

1042 LYY tells NL not to stop her but NL is indifferent. LYY is distressed since she has to enter anyway as her

family expects her to return with treasures after RY arranged for the 4 keys to arrive (chapter 1005) and

had wanted to negotiate with NL. LYY cries, only to be told off by ZiY and storms out. SL’s side has BY’s key,

but the other 3 are with LYY, LHC and STM. SL tells them not to worry and to head to MXT.

1043 They arrive near the MXT to see a snow-covered landscape, with the sound of fighting behind them.

LYY’s party is running from the snow lions who are retaliating against STM for causing 3 of their leaders to

die. LYY screams at STM to negotiate, however it’s too late and STM can only tell her not to kill them or

they’ll remember. However, a small 5th order cub climbs onto LYY’s neck and she instinctively slays it,

infuriating them. LHC and LDY run towards MXT where the barriers and NL can protect them.

1044 STM can’t leave LYY behind, carrying her while peeved she didn’t heed his warning. A lion claws LYY’s

back, causing her to scream, while LDY blames them for using the lions, and wonders why they aren’t

seeking NL. STM and LYY realize NL knew the lions were waiting for them.

1045 LYY arrives, still chased by the lions, only to be laughed given the fuss she made when she left. ZiY and

SL then taunt her. STM is vexed seeing them and tells NL to help, as his senior, only to be rebuffed by BY,

while LYY mentions past affections. Since the lions only attack LYY’s group, NL states they can always get

the keys from their corpses, after the lions are pacified.

Chapters 1046-1055 Entering Mu Xian Temple

1046-1047 When LDY and LHC arrive, NL asks them if they want to live. Using his aura to suppress the

group and the lions, he tells them to give him 1,000 Green Crystals for each life he saves. SL laughs since all

the crystals in her space are used up. STM tries to use their ties as brothers but NL knows the snow lions

once owed STM a favour, and didn’t immediately kill him out of consideration. STM is shocked, while LYY

cries. NL starts counting down from 3. The Luo Yu siblings agree first, followed by LYY and STM. NL smiles at

SL, then takes out pens and paper from his space ring, causing people to look on with envy at his rare item.

1048 NL opens the door right after the IOUs are signed and LYY’s party darts in. The MXT is filled with

pavilions and lush vegetation, while LYY notices even the tables are made from rare stones but can’t move

them. STM tells her if it could be taken, it would be, since the younger generation of the 4 clans enter MXT

once every few years. BY mentions the 4 keys only open the main door, and they need to find the Inverse

Dragon Jade (逆龙玉 Nì Lóng Yù) to enter the 9 barriers. NL tells them to break into pairs, carrying SL away.

1049 LYY asks if STM can forgive her. He softens and tries to convince her to give up on NL seeing how

heartless he is but LYY refuses, stating he’s been charmed by SL. The teams are NL and SL, STM and LYY, BY

and ZiY, LHC and LDY. The other 3 teams dutifully search for the jade entrance, while SL basks in the sun,

coddled by NL, having already found the entrance from sensing the spiritual energy around it. ZiY remarks

that she should’ve listened to BY and just followed SL and NL. SL tells them to wait until the rest realize.

1050 The entrance was actually found by the dragon, who’s currently chasing the fox. SL brings out a table

for BY and NL to play chess and snacks and tea. ZiY asks if it’s a picnic or an adventure. Meanwhile LYY is

injured but afraid to use spiritual energy to recover as the MXT would expel her. LDY is still angry over the

lions and that LYY left them behind.

1051 LHC remains silent since he used to like LYY to the point of wanting to marry her, until she abandoned

them. LYY rallies them, as they need to remain united so they can resist NL’s group, while telling them to

exploit their weakness – SL. LDY laughs at LYY for using them to remove SL since it won’t change NL’s

disgust for her, but both siblings agree that while LYY is untrustworthy, they hate SL.

1052-1053 STM remains silent since he had sacrificed the most but LYY was too blinded by hate to see, and

reassesses her in his heart. The four notice they’re the only ones searching and head towards NL, only to

find them playing chess and snacking. LYY wants to confront them, when BY cries, admitting defeat since NL

grabbed an early advantage. However, under NL’s aura during the match, BY managed to break through

from early 8th rank to the peak, shocking everyone. NL tells him he needs to fight to stabilize his power. LHC

is especially vexed, since he only reached 8th ranked after 5 experts from his family sacrificed their spiritual

energy for him to recover (chapter 856), while BY took 2 years to break to 8th ranked from the peak of 7th.

1054 BY taunts them, while LYY asks why they’re relaxing. ZiY tells them they’ve found the entrance. LYY

insults SL, only for the dragon to scratch her face and throw the fox at her since it had been sticking to SL.

The fox rebounds off LYY’s face, returning to SL.

1055 LYY is infuriated that SL’s pets can still defeat her even when SL is weak. NL tells SL they’ll go in once

she’s done playing. LYY rages, while LDY mocks her and STM soothes her. LYY yells at him and STM feels

unappreciated. Everyone enters the Nine Layered Pagoda (九重殿 Jiǔ Chóng Diàn) and is greeted by the

voice of the Pagoda Master. The pagoda has 4 levels to choose from and 9 barriers to overcome – Normal

(普通级 Pǔ Tōng Jí), Challenging (困难级 Kùn Nán Jí – Difficult), Elite (精英级 Jīng Yīng Jí) and Certain Death

(死亡级 Sǐ Wáng Jí), with rewards corresponding with the difficulty.

Chapters 1055-1066 Nine Layered Pagoda 1

1056 LHC and LDY head towards Challenging, when NL chooses Certain Death – where there is no turning

back and you can only exit through death or clearing all 9 barriers. Only one team has survived. LYY’s party

rage at NL for endangering them. However, NL states that Certain Death is guaranteed to have the RBBG.

1057-1059 SL looks apologetically at BY and ZiY but they reassure her they feel safe with NL there and are

excited at the rewards. The first challenge consists of enduring in the cold for 15 minutes as wind blades

attack them from all directions. SL is safe in her furs and NL’s embrace, while the rest defend themselves in

pairs. LYY cries as she’s grazed by an attack, and glares bitterly at SL, who’s being guarded by NL. STM

worries over her, only for the wind blades to stab him and they to start focus. LHC and LDY are unharmed,

while BY uses this to practice his footwork, with ZiY coordinating with him as he improves. BY is

disappointed when the challenge suddenly ends, causing LDY and LYY to glare. A screen appears listing

them in their groups, with scores for their performance. LDY and LHC: 80, LYY and STM: 70, BY and ZiY: 75,

NL and SL: 50. Everyone is delighted at beating NL, while NL secretly rages. SL speculates that it rates their

combined performance – NL receives a full 50, while SL receives 0 since she did nothing. For winning, the

siblings are basked in a warm, healing light. LYY inches towards it and is sent flying.

1060 LDY and LHC have not only healed, but have been promoted to the peak of their respective levels – 8th

for LHC and 7th for LDY. For the second level, they’re transported onto a square field of white jade and have

one day to escape. LDY is worried since there’s no information from prior generations, unlike the other

levels, while the dragon informs SL to head north-west.

Level LDY+LHC ZiY+BY LYY+STM SL+NL Prize

1 80 75 70 50 Advance to Peak Level

1060-1062 NL suspects the scores are cumulative. They head northwest to find a sea at the end of the

square and a white jade bridge leading out. LDY mentions a phrase (悠悠白玉桥，双双九重天 – Drifting

White Cloud Bridge, Paired Nine Layered Pagoda), while LYY states that this bridge is the 9th barrier of the

Normal setting. Only 2 people can travel across at a time and once they start they can’t turn back. LYY tells

SL she’s too weak to complete it and NL replies it doesn’t concern her, and lets BY and ZiY cross. LHC stops

them, insisting on going first, as he assumes it’s easier to get more points.

1063 Seeing NL nod, BY lets them pass. LHC reminds them not to start until they’re done. LYY whines to

STM that siblings have an early advantage, and is determined to prevent SL from getting the RBBG. A fog

descends, and LHC and LDY are given a score of 40.

1064 LYY plans on going last and to cross when NL is still on, allowing them to die together. BY heads

towards the bridge, warning STM not to regret trusting LYY since he’s the only one who can’t see her true

colours. BY feels uneasy knowing LYY is crossing last, but NL commands STM to go before him since he

won’t expose his back to people he can’t trust.

1065-1066 The screen arrives and starts spinning. LYY cheers for them to score 30, while NL continues

flirting with SL. LYY is enraged, then shocked that BY and ZiY scored 75. STM takes LYY, only for her to

complain about a pain, refusing to go, hoping the limited time will pressure NL into going first.


1067-1068 NL throws LYY towards the bridge, while STM rushes to catch her since she’d die if she went

alone. On the bridge, LYY refuses to go any further as blocking them here would prevent SL getting the

RBBG. With less than 2 hours remaining, SL starts to worry but NL is certain STM wouldn’t let LYY suffer as

NL would eliminate the Jade Lake for obstructing him. STM causes LYY to faint, before carrying her across.

They receive 35 but there is only half an hour left. The fog becomes denser, while NL flies, carrying SL.

1069-1070 15 minutes left, NL stops as they’re surrounded by a hundred Iron Ridged Cheetah (铁脊猎豹

Tiě Jí Liè Bào) – all 9th ranked, led by a 10th rank. NL places SL in circle surrounded by his spiritual energy,

telling her not to move. The challenges are adjusted based on the strengths of the participants and the

Pagoda Master tells SL it’s based on NL since she’s negligible. The cheetah edge closer, with NL slicing the

leader as it pounces towards him, before throwing the rest off the bridge as they attack in waves. SL

watches on calmly, as they edge towards her protective circle.

1071 NL summons countless Lightning Snakes (Léi Diàn Lóng Shé 雷电龙蛇 ) which fall from the sky,

electrocuting the cheetah with the water from NL’s previous attack as a conductor. SL watches on in shock

as NL proudly smirks at her. One dying cheetah manages to get through SL’s protective circle and she uses

her Yan Hua dagger to grind its neck, killing it slowly, not being able to directly pierce it.

1072-1073 SL looks up and is amazed to find NL has finished. He quickly carries her across the bridge. On

the other side, BY and ZiY are worried since the time is almost up, threatening LYY. LYY is also worried over

NL. At the last moment, SL and NL appear, with NL glaring at LYY. They score 51 since SL managed to kill 1,

even though NL overkilled. ZiY and BY receive their reward – one 10th ranked Spirit Bomb each, which is

regarded as a better prize than the first.

1074 The cumulative results are displayed: LDY+LHC:120, LYY+STM:105, ZiY+BY:150; SL+NL:101. SL feels

guilty for dragging NL down. The pairs are separated and NL and SL are transported to a lush forest. To pass

the 3rd level they need to overcome the Cloudy Slope of Suffering (疾云坡 Jí Yún Pō Illness Cloud Slope). SL

remarks the slop is gentle, but it isn’t the real danger. NL tells SL to stay put and she feels like a burden.

They see a sleeping chimera with the head of a bear, eye of a tiger and body of a panther.



2 40 75 35 51 10th Rank Spirit Bombs

Total 120 150 105 101

1075-1076 SL steps back, while NL sends a lightning attack towards the chimera as it wakes, only to find

that it’s immune and angry. It sends its tongue towards NL and he deflects it with his sword, leaving a small

scar. NL jumps up, sending fireballs towards it since he has three elements. SL notes that this test pits them

against beasts the same rank as them, when a fierce chimera cub emerges. NL instantly turns to save SL,

only to be blocked by the 10th ranked chimera’s thunder attack.

1077 The cub heads towards SL, when the little fox leaps in front of her, tapping the cub’s head and

transforming it into a cute little lamb. It tells SL to quickly kill the cub, before passing out in her arms. SL

watches the cub – now lamb – eating grass and sprinkles CSW, leading it towards a trap. The cub dies and

reverts to its original body. SL is shocked the fox has this ability, while NL – having finished his fight – tells SL

it’s a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox King and according to legend, imperial foxes can turn beasts into lambs.


1078 The beast’s nature and form would change, but its original strength remains. NL SL then pass through

the slope, waiting for the other parties to arrive. LYY and STM appear, with LYY in a dishevelled state,

trading insults with SL. STM tells NL off for not managing SL, when BY and ZiY arrive, followed by the

exhausted LDY and LHC.

1079-1080 The screen arrives, and LYY is shocked SL and NL received 75. SL thinks it’s fair since her half is

split with the fox. ZiY and BY receive 60, and the dead tired siblings score 50. LYY and STM’s score begins

with a 7, but the last digit hasn’t been set. LYY cheers for 6 while ZiY cheers for 4 – BY and ZiY are delighted

its 74. ZiY and LYY bicker, and STM tells ZiY not to bully LYY for an outsider, ZiY retorts that NL considers LYY

as the outsider. BY laughs as ZiY out-curses LYY, while STM glares.

1081 SL and NL receive one green coloured crystal each, which causes the injured Languishing Red Bean

tree to twitch. NL finds the prize worthless – it’s a Thousand Year Plant Essence (千年植物精魄 Qiān Nián

Zhí Wù Jīng Pò) which can revive a mutated plant from any injury – but thinks neither of them have one. SL

thinks it’s too much of a coincidence since her LRB tree was injured by YX (chapter 983) and asks NL how to

use it. NL is shocked, while SL uses the essence to restore the LRB plant from a withered state to a lush one.




3 50 60 74 75 Thousand Year Plant Essence

Total 170 210 179 176

1082 NL tells the impressed BY and ZiY that it’s not all the essence can do. As LYY approaches to ask NL for

his piece since she also has a plant, he ignores her and gives it to SL. NL tells her to use it to induce a second

mutation. LYY clenches until her nails dig into her flesh and STM rages at NL.

1083 SL crushes the essence, allowing the LRB tree to absorb it. The plant turns dark green, before being

submerged in a fog, and emerges with a golden body and tougher vines. LHC exclaims it’s a Spirit Gathering

Tree (聚灵树 Jù Líng Shù), having undergone a 3rd mutation* and everyone watches on with envy. NL

regrets giving it to SL in the open since now everyone knows, then explains that the SGT can absorb

spiritual energy and help its owner advance several times faster.

*SL’s LRB tree has already undergone one mutation when she contracted it. 2nd is dark green, 3rd is golden

1084-1085 SL speculates it was already on the verge of breaking through while recovering in her space. LHC

is determined to snatch it, when NL sneers at him and promises SL he’ll guard her. They’re transported to

vast grasslands for the 4th level. The Pagoda Master tells SL everyone will be after her SGT, and that their

task is to find Rising Silver Grass (凌霜草 Líng Shuāng Cǎo) within an unspecified time frame. As the only

team without an Apothecarist, BY and ZiY are confused. SL explains that the RSG is a rare herb that can

ward off bad energy/miasma (瘴气 Zhàng Qì) but looks just like normal grass. LYY’s group is already

searching. As BY and ZiY head off, NL serves SL tea, telling her they’ll win regardless.

1086-1087 Seeing SL warmed up by the tea, NL tells her to have her SGT (formerly LRB tree) gather all the

grass for her. SL watches it leave, while NL tells her it’d be a pity for forfeit the prizes, before heading off to

search for his half. LYY and STM then appear before her. LYY threatens to kill SL with a slap, causing SL to

taunt her. STM tells SL to restrain herself, but stops LYY as NL would hate her. LYY knocks over the tea pot

instead, which the dragon and fox dart for. The dragon chugs the pot, only leaving a single drop for the fox.


1088 Finding the fox cute, LYY reaches for it, only for the fox to think she’s aiming for his tea. The fox leaps

towards LYY, tapping her forehead with its paws, and she turns into a cute little lamb, passively eating

grass. STM is shocked, while the lamb LYY – realizing her state – awkwardly runs away, only to fall. SL

laughs, while STM’s face turns dark as he doesn’t know what type of transformation it is, or if it’s

permanent. STM tries threatening SL into reverting LYY, but SL retorts that she prefers her this way.

1089 STM is scared of SL’s pets and remains cautious, when BY and ZiY arrive, having only found a few RSG.

They greet STM, asking him where LYY is, causing SL to laugh. STM’s face darkens and LYY becomes restless.

ZiY asks STM if he’s finally opened his eyes and left her, when she notices the angry lamb and teases it with

some grass. ZiY returns to asking about LYY and SL tells them it’s the lamb. ZiY and BY laugh, thinking it’s a

joke, when the lamb transforms back into LYY and they laugh even harder.

1090 LYY turns red in humiliation, challenging SL to a fight, before charging towards her. NL appears,

blocking her with a finger and she falls on the grass. STM defends her, telling NL that SL had provoked her,

but NL states SL wouldn’t be wrong even if she overturned the world. BY and ZiY are supportive, while STM

is speechless. As he’s about to retort, the Pagoda Master announces that the time is up.

1091 The teams hand over their RSG, with LYY and STM turning over a bundle of 74, totalling 75 points. BY

and ZiY only manage 30, while LHC and LDY retrieved 25. NL turns up with 50 – having been prevented by

the system from taking more, causing LYY to cheer at her victory. However, SL waves and the SGT comes

running on its 4 trunk-like legs, with a RSG wrapped in each leaf, knocking the shocked LYY on its way.

1092 The SGT also has 50 RSG – being subjected to the same limitations as NL – and the scores become

LYY+STM 74, ZiY+BY 30, LDY+LHC 25 and SL+NL 75. LYY protests the 1 mark deduction, while the Pagoda

Master tells her it’s a bonus for SL and NL since they managed to get the full hundred. 2 stones appear in

front of NL and SL. They resemble the Fire Source Stones that Rong Yun made them retrieve (Chapter 734)

but contains more energy. LYY exclaims that it’s a Fire Source Stone Essence (火源石精魄 Huǒ yuán shí jīng

pò), with energy equivalent to 100 FSS. As SL touches it, the Fire Stone in her space twitches – having been

unresponsive since SL used Di Shi Tian to escape YX (chapter 907). SL throws the essence stone into her

space – not bothering to hide it since NL revealed his space ring – and lets the Fire Stone absorb it.

1093 SL senses the Fire Stone retaining vitality and takes NL’s, throwing it into her space as well. Its

condition improves, but SL only had 2 essence stones. LYY is outraged that SL again took NL’s prize, while

NL looks on indulgently. The Pagoda Master reveals the cumulative scores: BY+ZiY 2351; STM+LYY 253;

LHC+LDY 195; NL+SL 251 and LYY is smug since her team is first. The Pagoda Master tells them to take their

RSG and head to the 5th level.

1094 They arrive at a pristine, tropical rainforest, surrounded by rivers and trees and notice a nice smell,

only to discover it’s poisonous. NL tries to shield SL, but she’s already breathed it in. The Pagoda Master

explains the 5th round consists of finding vulture eggs (寻秃鹫蛋 Xún Tū Jiù Dàn) and that the rules are the

same as the 4th round. NL has a cure but is waiting for their opponents to die as LYY, LHC and LDY are

already vomiting blood. The Pagoda Master cheerily reminds them that the prerequisite for entering the 9th

barrier is for all members to remain alive, causing NL to glare.

1095 SL watches ZiY and BY in pain, before realizing they have the RSG from the previous round, which can

ward off bad energy and miasma (chapter 1085). She stuffs one in her mouth, feeling the effects of the

poison disappear. Everyone else follows and recovers. ZiY looks at SL with regard, while NL reminds them of

their limited time. LHC and LDY are especially determined, since they haven’t won since the first round.

1096 SL follows the dragon and fox racing around, unaffected by the poison. They find a vulture nest on a

tall tree, before fighting among themselves to reach it. SL has her SGT use its vines to grab the two eggs

instead, before the symptoms of poison hits her again. The RSG only works for 15 minutes – needing 4 per

hour each. With 100 strands, she and NL can last 12 hours.

1097 Assuming the Pagoda Master is letting them keep the eggs, NL tells SL to take as many as she can to

raise as an air fleet. SL, remembering all the things NL’s done for her, thinks it’s a good way to protect Dong

Ling when NL eventually leaves. LDY+LHC finish first with 3 eggs, as they have the least RSG, followed by BY

and ZiY with 6. LYY and STM can last over 9 hours. LYY begs STM to do everything he can to win, and he

hesitates before using a method that will disrupt his cultivation and shorten his life span. Promising her, he

cuts his vein and lets his blood fall on the ground.

1098 LYY’s eyes flash with excitement, as blood sacrifice temporarily allows STM to tap into spiritual

knowledge and find the eggs. Certain of her victory, she disregards STM’s state and happily praises him.

STM’s affections flicker for a moment, before recovering due to her innocent look. He flies around, locating

the eggs for LYY to collect and revelling in her compliments.

1099-1100 LYY laments not having a space ring to hold the eggs and STM mentions SL was using one

(chapter 1092) which was probably given by NL. STM watches LYY’s jealousy, hoping to slowly replace NL in

her heart. They then head back with arms full of eggs, having run out of RSG. NL and SL return last, stunned

at LYY’s pile, while the Pagoda Master praises them for ruthlessly using Blood Sacrifice. LDY+LHC have 3,

BY+ZiY have 6, while SL+NL have 50. LYY smugly reveals her 51 eggs, shocking ZiY, while BY sneers at STM.

The scores are LDY+LHC 30, ZiY+BY 40, SL+NL 70, LYY+STM 71. LYY flaunts her victory, while SL asks if she’s

really at ease winning through the sacrifice of others. LYY denies it, but it was announced by the Pagoda

Master. They’re told they can keep the eggs, which NL and SL had already guessed.

1101 LYY is delighted as this will strengthen the Jade Lake. Her prize arrives on a tray, containing a Pale Pink

Wide-Sleeved Celestial Dress (广袖流仙裙 Guǎng Xiù Liú Xiān Qún) made from the same material she

normally wears, while STM’s has men’s robes (宽袍 Kuān Páo), causing LYY to screech. The Pagoda Master

tells her that the prizes also depend on his mood, and that he’s well aware what prizes a person deserves.

1102 LYY throws a tantrum, while STM consoles her since they’re in need of new clothes. LYY wears it and

ZiY mocks her for only receiving a dress for STM’s sacrifice. Everyone else laughs, even LDY and LHC. LYY

tells STM off for using blood sacrifice as he tries to comfort her. STM forces a smile, stating that LYY is just

uncomfortable winning this way. SL retorts the Pagoda Master knows what each person deserves.

1103 ZiY is worried they haven’t started the 6th level, blaming LYY for pissing off the Pagoda Master. LYY

retorts that she isn’t the one who needs the RBBG and plants herself on the ground. SL reminds her they’ve

entered on Certain Death mode and there’s no other way out, causing LYY to flare up, only to turn silent

under NL’s intimidating presence. He tells them to pair up and find the entrance.

1104-1106 The little dragon soon finds the entrance for the 6th layer, leading them into an empty vacuum.

As LYY and STM struggle with carrying their fragile vulture eggs, LYY notices that SL, NL, ZiY and BY are all

empty-handed. Looking pitiful, she tries to ask NL to help her store them. SL stops NL from rejecting, acting

concerned over his limited 1m3 space, and NL tells LYY he’ll do it for a fee. SL asks if she wants a discount as

NL’s junior sister, but LYY rejects, so SL tells her they’ll take 50% instead of 10%. LYY rages but can’t go back

on her word, while the eggs will shatter if she continues holding them, so she has NL store them. Tremors

travel through the vacuum causing the 3 eggs LHC was holding to break and LYY is grateful she at least has

some. BY and ZiY mock LHC, when the landscape transforms into a hot desert.

1107 The Pagoda Master still hasn’t appeared and ZiY speculates they might not get instructions, when NL

tells them to be on guard. Soon everyone else senses danger, and STM wonders how large the gap between

9th and 10th ranked is, when LYY jumps up, screaming that something is biting her feet.

1108 Numerous rats emerge from the sand until the ground is completely covered by them. NL places SL on

a tree, telling her not to act yet. While BY and ZiY stand back to back, LHC and LDY both face out and STM

stands in front of LYY. The rats start climbing on them – scratching, clawing and biting – until everyone is

covered in hundreds of them. SL watches on unaffected, when NL sends her three spirit pets out.

1109 The main problem lies with rat chiefs, which prevent magic attacks, forcing them to eliminate the rats

one at a time. SL’s SGT grabs an 8th ranked chief with its vines, while the fox and dragon pull it apart,

revealing a Cyan Crystal (Chapter 806). The little dragon clamours for it, only for the fox to swallow it. They

chase each other, but by the time they’ve removed most of the rat chiefs, they’ve split several Cyan and

Green Crystals between them. The last rat chief curses as its Cyan Crystal lands in the dragon’s mouth.

1110 With the rat chiefs removed, the rest of the team are free to use their techniques and eliminate the

rats. Exhausted, they notice that NL didn’t act. LDY complains, while LHC wants to divide the Cyan Crystals,

having watched the dragon and fox gobble them, but BY reminds them how the pets saved them.

1111 Everyone scavenges for the Red and Orange Crystals left behind by the normal rats, while SL watches

on since she has the Purple Crystal Fish. NL senses another danger, as the temperature rises to resemble an

oven and there are now two suns. As LDY speculates the consequences of another sun, a third appears. ZiY

scolds her and LYY complains, but it isn’t the real danger.

1112 SL is unaffected due to her fire element, when a fog starts to form due to the humidity. The fog

becomes denser and darker and they start feeling dizzy, unable to see more than 10 metres ahead. NL tells

them to prepare to fight, when a hideous dark head appears near LDY, breathing black, corrosive fog on

her, burning her hair and shoulder. LYY rages, seeing how relaxed SL is, not knowing that she’s worried

since NL is using 30% of his energy to shield her and is vulnerable to the fog.


1113 The fog causes them to hallucinate. LYY stabs STM in the back, causing him to fall, before slicing LDY’s

face with her sword, thinking she’s SL. LDY pushes her to the ground, and they glare and attack each other.

NL’s barrier around SL starts to weaken and he collapses. SL rushes towards him and is surrounded by the

dark heads, showering her with the fog.

1114 SL hallucinates that she’s returned to Cloud Fall Mountain (Chapter 1) and, thinking NL is YQ, takes

out her YH dagger to stab him. NL was pretending he was weakened to find the illusion-casting array (dark

heads). As SL’s dagger is inches from his heart, her eardrums start buzzing, causing her to faint. SL wakes to

find she had almost stabbed NL, and that the sound came from the now-awakened DST.

1115 SL asks why he chose to wake now, when DST replies that if he hadn’t she would’ve killed NL then

committed suicide to follow him due to their vow (Chapter 1011). Seeing SL’s recovery, NL sends out wind

blades towards each of the 50 arrays, taking out 49. The last one appears before SL to examine how she

dispelled the visions, and NL uses his full force to remove it before it can approach her.

1116 SL is thankful DST woke up and that she didn’t hurt NL. The fog disperses to reveal the other 6 lying on

the sand like corpses on a battlefield. BY jolts up, seeing them unharmed – since NL and SL had died in his

vision. NL injects spiritual energy into SL while she explains that they were hallucinating. LDY confronts LYY,

and STM defends her since none of them were sane.

1117 The screen appears and they all score 40, while SL and NL receive 70. A Purple Crystal the size of a

fingernail appears in front of SL, while NL receives one the size of a pigeon egg, and she remembers how

wilful the Pagoda Master can be (Chapter 1101). Seeing SL’s anger, NL offers his and they stare at each

other lovingly, when LYY bitterly reminds them of the 7th round. Given how they narrowly survived the last

level, and are all injured, they rest for an hour before continuing. NL starts looking for the 7th floor entrance

by himself, secretly believing the importance of their cumulative scores and that time is limited.







6 40 40 40 70 Purple Coloured Crystal


1118-1119 NL soon finds the entrance and they’re shocked to see a beach paradise with a blue sky and sea.

Walking around, they notice a white figure standing on a cliff and head towards him. He looks in his 20s,

and fishes up a blue version of the zǐjīng Fish (Chapters 343-366) when they approach, which are equal to

Blue Crystals. SL examines him, while he introduces himself as the 7th Prince (七公子 Qī Gōng Zǐ). He laughs

when LYY asks if they need to defeat him, as he could crush them with a finger. SL’s eyes sparkle, hoping it’s

to catch fish but he proposes a game of riddles instead.


1120-1121 The 7th Prince tells them he’ll give them a riddle each. If they answer correctly, they pass. If they

can’t, they’ll leave a souvenir from their body. LYY volunteers to go first, thinking the most she has to lose is

her bracelet. The 7th Prince tells them the time limit is how long it takes him to pull up another fish. LYY is

discontent as it means her time has already started. He gives LYY a riddle ‘Little White and his brother look

alike’ (小白长的跟他哥哥很像 Xiǎo bái zhǎng de gēn tā gēgē hěn xiàng). LYY is clueless and everyone else

is equally puzzled, while SL thinks that most students in the modern world can answer it. Noticing NL is

concerned over her, she traces the answer on his palm. STM is also stumped, so LYY heads over to NL.

1122-1123 The 7th Prince tells NL that anyone who helps will be punished regardless of whether the answer

is correct. His line stirs, and her time is almost up. Seeing LYY cry to NL, SL reprimands her for being selfish.

The 7th Prince reels in his fish and LYY loses. She hands her treasured bracelet to the confused 7th Prince

since something from their body meant hands or feet. LYY runs to STM for help and he charges towards the

7th Prince, sending a handprint, only for it to be frozen mid-air. It’s then redirected to LYY’s right wrist, using

STM’s own attack to remove her hand. The 7th Prince is indifferent to LYY’s screams and tells STM he’s next.

1124 The 7th Prince tells STM to answer the same question or forfeit his right hand. STM is stumped since if

he knew, he would’ve sacrificed himself to tell LYY. Repeating it aloud, he has an epiphany right as the 7th

Prince hooks a fish. The brother’s name is “Look-alike” (很像 Hěn Xiàng*). LYY is vexed that the answer was

so simple, and that STM managed to save his own hand but not hers.

*The sentence ‘Little White and his brother look-alike’, can be interpreted as ‘Little White grew up with his brother, Look-alike’)

1125 The 7th Prince tells BY to go next and SL is worried but trusts his intellect, when the 7th Prince states

he’ll make it easier since ‘that girl’ is concerned. Everyone is confused, but NL tightens his grip on SL. The

riddle is: A 75kg man wants to cross a bridge with two 2.6kg balls. But the bridge can only hold 80kg at a

time and he can only make one trip. BY is confused, but watching SL jump around, he correctly answers that

the man would juggle them, alternating between holding each ball, until he reaches the end.

1126-1127 ZiY praises BY, but LYY, bitter over losing her own hand, accuses SL of helping so she’d also lose

hers. LYY then vows that it’s true or she’ll be struck by lightning, but no one else substantiates this. SL

pretends to be aggrieved, and accuses LYY of slander. The 7th Prince looks at her softly, before telling LYY

he’ll let her off this time since she’s already missing a hand. BY trips LYY, and she cries to STM. ZiY

volunteers to go next. The 7th Prince glances at SL, before telling ZiY that since she’s pretty and wouldn’t

look good missing a hand, he’ll give her a simple one, causing LYY to rage even more.

1128 ZiY’s riddle: ‘There are 6 fish in a basket. After 6 children are each given a fish, there’s still 1 left in the

basket. How can that be?’ SL wants to tell ZiY but is being watched by LYY. However, ZiY manages to answer

– the last child is given the basket along with the fish. Passing, ZiY mocks LYY for staring at SL, asking if she’s

waiting for the answer since SL is smarter. LDY then pushes LHC to go next, angering him. Especially when

the 7th Prince remarks that the last 2 questions were too easy so he’ll make it more challenging.


1129 LHC’s riddle: ‘A hole 1cm in diameter can pass an 100m3 object. What type of object is it?’ Just as LHC

starts thinking, the 7th Prince catches a fish, commenting that he can’t be a good person if his luck is so bad.

Gritting his teeth, LHC cuts off his left wrist, letting it roll towards the 7th Prince. He then sprinkles powder

to clot his blood, before nominating LDY. Without time to think, the 7th Prince hooks another fish and she

loses. Seeing LDY hesitate, the 7th Prince cuts off her right hand, before calling SL up. NL also nominates her

as the riddle is easy.

1130 SL answers ‘Water’, since any liquid can pass through, only the Luo Yu siblings didn’t have enough

time to answer. LDY and LHC are infuriated, while the 7th Prince praises SL for her speed. SL tells NL to be

careful since the 7th Prince is judging him like a father watching his son-in-law, joking that she doesn’t want

a broken man. The 7th Prince gives NL a riddle that’s so easy it’s difficult. He tells NL the phrase: (甲乙是丙

丁卯，甲乙不是丙丁卯* Jiǎyǐ bǐngdīng mǎo, jiǎyǐ bùshì bǐngdīng mǎo) and to rearrange the same 5

characters in each sentence for it to make sense. Secretly thinking that if he can’t answer he doesn’t

deserve SL, while it took the 7th Prince himself 3 days to figure it out.

*A nonsensical phrase, similar to ‘This apple is fruit. This apple is not fruit.’, and you need to replace ‘apple’ and ‘fruit’ with

something logical i.e. ‘This sentence is first. This sentence is not first.’

1131 NL tells him it’s not that difficult and that he has 2 answers. Angered, the 7th Prince tells him if both

are correct, he can have all the Blue Fish. NL smugly gives his first answer ‘Little Seven is a thing, Little Seven

is not a thing’ (小七是个东西，小七不是个东西 Xiǎo qī shìgè dōngxī, xiǎo qī bùshì gè dōngxī). SL explains

that her fox is called Little Seven and is a ‘thing’, whereas the 7th Prince is a person and therefore isn’t a

‘thing’. The 7th Prince rages, stating he’ll let SL off for this but someone else will have to settle it.

1132 NL then reveals the real answer: ‘This sentence is 5 words. This sentence is not 5 words.’* (这句是六

个字，这句不是六个字 Zhè jù shì liù gè zì, zhè jù bùshì liù gè zì). Everyone is impressed and LYY renews

her obsession due to how perfect he is. The 7th Prince grudgingly relents and passes the basket of fish to SL.

SL wants to talk to him since he seems to recognize her, but he leaves before she can ask, and without

giving out prizes – especially as this round’s prize will assist them in the 8th level.

*6 characters, but its 5 words for us. The second is true coz the ‘not’ (不) exists

1133 They’re given scores, with 50 points for each puzzle solved. LYY+STM receive 50, LDY+LHC receive 0,

BY+ZiY and SL+NL both score 100. While the round seemed calm, it was also the most damaging. They’re

transported to a huge underground mausoleum, with the path lit by luminous pearls imbedded in the

ground. The language on the gravestones are ones even NL and the dragon don’t recognize.








7 0 100 50 100 Withheld



1134 They run into a red coffin that hovers 1 metre above the ground, giving off an ominous air that makes

them shudder. NL sends the dragon towards it and it returns with a Ginseng Baby* (人参娃娃 Rénshēn

wáwá) wearing a scarlet apron. The baby bites the dragon’s claw and the fox leaps out to defend it, biting

the child’s butt. The three start howling, causing everyone’s ears to hurt, and SL comforts her two pets,

when the child starts talking gibberish. SL tries to communicate with it, but fails.

*Basically slang for cute kids with a tuff of hair on their large round heads, and white and chubby bodies

1135 The child continues rambling, wanting to leave. SL asks the

dragon to communicate with it, hoping it’ll act as a guide, but it fails.

DST identifies it as the dialect of the Demon Clan (魔族 Mó Zú;

Magic), while the red, floating coffin contains one of their leaders.

DST possesses SL, allowing her to communicate with the baby,

shocking everyone. Seeing the child is unwilling, she tries to bribe it

with Celestial Spring Water for information.

1136 The child drools over the CSW and tells SL the coffin contains his father and to wake him since the

child can’t recall much. Sensing the coffin’s dark aura and overwhelming power, SL gives the child the CSW,

telling him they won’t disturb his father. The child doesn’t know where the array is, and NL tells them to

split up and search. LYY screams, and they sense the figure in the coffin has woken.

1137 ZiY curses LYY as the atmosphere becomes oppressive. NL tells them to prepare to fight, when the

coffin lid falls and an ugly corpse-like person sits up, emitting waves of terrifying, black miasma. NL warns

them the air is corrosive, and SL asks the child how to stop it being released.

1138 The child tells them the miasma is delicious and nourishing. Seeing them despair, the child tells them

to follow him, absorbing the miasma as he walks to clear a path to a safe area behind the coffin. There,

they see a stone platform with 2 swords inserted and the child tells them to pull it out to stop the fog.

1139-1140 BY heads towards the black sword, slowly overcoming the energy surrounding it. Touching the

hilt, he’s sent flying and crashes against the coffin, coughing up blood. NL identifies them as the legendary

Dedicated Heavenly Sword (赤霄剑 Chì Xiāo Jiàn) and Clear Shadow Sword (澄影剑 Chéng Yǐng Jiàn), a pair

of divine swords used by an invincible couple more than 5,000 years ago, which had long been buried in

history. NL states that the swords will belong to whoever can take them, while SL rushes them as the

miasma is closing in and the barrier can’t last.

1141-1142 Seeing how BY suffered, LHC cautiously approaches the DHS, sending all his energy towards his

right palm, inching it towards the hilt. Gripping it, he and LDY cheer. But when he tries to pull the sword,

he’s also sent flying, landing next to BY. NL tells STM to go next, and he reaches for the DHS rather than the

CSS that LYY wanted. LYY secretly chants for him to fail, not knowing he wanted the sword to protect her,

causing SL to feel sympathy towards STM. As he holds it, the sword emits a force that causes his bones to

crack, but his legs remain in place. ZiY speculates the sword might end up being his, while SL tells her it’s

just wearing him down slowly and that he won’t last.


1143-1144 STM begins to falter, coughing up blood and is also sent flying towards the coffin. NL approaches

the DHS, gripping the sword before releasing all his energy and removing it in one go. He swings it around,

subduing the sword’s aura until it starts weakly humming, at NL’s mercy. NL examines it with satisfaction,

having finally found a worthy sword, and the dull surface of the DHS gleams in recognition. NL tells SL to get

the CSS, when LYY interjects. SL lets her try, not believing it’d accept her.

1145 LYY reaches towards the CSS with her energy in her left hand and is delighted to find that she can grip

it with no resistance. LDY is worried the sword recognized LYY, but no one else is concerned. LYY injects her

energy and tries to pull the sword, which not only remains firm, but absorbs the power she had sent.

Thinking she needs to wear it down, she continues injecting spiritual energy until she has nothing left.

1146 The CSS remains unmoved, while LYY starts shaking. STM catches her, feeling a force sucking away his

spiritual energy, and he barely manages to pull away in time. However, LYY has fainted. The miasma

outside starts forming into a shape, bashing itself against the barrier. LDY examines ZiY, wanting to let the

CSS absorb more energy before she tries. ZiY approaches, telling her not to regret it.

1147 ZiY grips the sword. When her energy starts faltering, the Elemental Elf pops up from her sleeve. LDY

and LHC remark enviously that the constant energy supply it provides means ZiY will get the CSS, while ZiY

is worried since the elf is too young and the energy it can provide is limited.

1148 As only women can hold the CSS and only men can use the DHS, ZiY continues pulling the sword until

her state becomes worse than LYY’s. She falls, vomiting blood, and BY catches her. SL then gives her an

Energy Recovery Pill. Seeing this, STM tells her off for not offering LYY one. SL retorts that she’s not so

generous and LYY has continually threatened her. LDY approaches, asking for an ERP while trying to look

innocent, but SL doesn’t fall for it despite the mountains in her space.

1149 LDY points out that SL’s ERP is master grade, while STM and LHC pressure her, reminding her they’re

here for her RBBG. However, SL recalls they ran in when fleeing from the snow lions, while NL cuts the

fingers on LHC’s remaining hand that had been pointed at SL. LDY walks towards the CSS, believing it should

be close to folding after ZiY.

1150 LDY panics as the CSS seems insatiable and 1/3 of her energy has already entered the sword, when

she notices the sword has budged and that the rate of absorption has slowed. The miasma starts to break

through but LDY is determined to continue since pulling the sword would disperse it, but completely runs

out of energy before the sword is full. She’s sent flying towards the coffin filled with remorse as the sword

was almost within reach.

1151 LYY wakes up, while only SL is left to complete the task. The miasma starts invading the air, but even

NL isn’t confident in SL, and she’s sent back into his arms before she can even reach the hilt.

1152 LDY and LYY mock her, when the 7th Prince arrives, throwing Gold Silk Gloves (金丝手套 Jīn Sī Shǒu

Tào) to her as the prize from the last round. Wearing the gloves, she directly holds the hilt, causing LYY and

LDY to seethe in anger.


1153 However SL is too weak to pull the sword even with the gloves. Acting on the advice the 7th Prince

secretly transmitted to her, she mixes CSW and Master ranked ERP, pouring it on the sword, and directly

pulls it out. LDY is in shock, while ZiY is happy for SL. The miasma also starts receding, while the pair of

swords now belong to SL and NL. NL tells them to rest before heading to the next level.








7 0 100 50 100 Gold Silk Gloves (Belated)

8 - - - Won Legendary Swords


1154-1155 The little Ginseng child approaches SL and gives her a gift. It takes them 7 days to find the 9th

level entrance at the bottom of the coffin, where they enter a world of ice and snow, with an oppressive

atmosphere that makes it hard to move. The Pagoda Master congratulates them for making it to the 9th

level and that this is where the ‘Certain Death’ really starts, giving them 3 days to kill each other until only 2

remain, guaranteeing that the reward for this level will be the RBBG. LHC stiffens, fearing that NL will slay

them to save SL. NL reveals the Pagoda Master has dual souls – black and white, and is currently the

twisted black one. The Pagoda Master huffs that he was making it easier for them, but since they’ve chosen

the hard path, none of them are guaranteed to live. SL and NL would rather the hard path for BY and ZiY.

1156-1157 The area expands to twice its original size, and they’re worn down trudging through the snow,

when snow lions emerge. LYY’s party despairs as they’re surrounded by 12 lions. NL tells SL not to be

concerned since the other team’s survival doesn’t affect them anymore (Chapter 1094), while ZiY and BY

are safe, having no grudges with the lions. LYY screams as she’s circled by 3 lions. STM runs to protect her,

allowing the lions to claw his back. SL’s group comment on STM’s dedication to LYY, while she remains

undamaged under his protection but cries to flaunt how she has someone willing to die for her.

1158 NL eventually intervenes, slaying all the lions and glares at LHC when he blames SL. They continue

forward as they have 3 days to find the RBBG, however for 2 days all they see is snow. SL hands NL a Master

ranked ERP as he continues protecting her, and is determined to get the RBBG so she can defend herself.

1159 They eventually find a place called Nether Palace (幽冥殿 Yōu Míng Diàn). LHC hesitates but SL urges

them on as the little dragon has sensed something. They enter a white marble hall, feeling as though

they’re being watched. The sky thunders and the Pagoda Master welcomes them.

1160 To get the RBBG, they need to overcome Ashura Purgatory and defeat 8 steel tower-like men from

Nether Palace, with pairs going based on their cumulative scores, starting from the lowest. SL tells the

Pagoda Master to lift the spiritual pressure on the 9th level (chapter 1154), but he warns them it won’t help.


1161 A giant stone slab in the centre of the room floats up. LHC and LDY step towards it, not knowing their

opponents are controlled by the Pagoda Master and have no feelings or emotions. One of the men grabs

LDY and she stabs him in the wrist but doesn’t make a scratch. LDY is thrown against the wall before

anyone can react, embedded in a dent created by the impact and is unresponsive.

1162 LYY touches LDY, causing pieces of her flesh to fall on the ground. Not only has she died, her body has

also been diced. LYY and LHC both vomit, and LHC uses the Luo family’s secret technique, Scarlet Blood

Palm (赤血掌 Chì Xiě Zhǎng), a guaranteed finishing move, to charge at the two men. However, the first is

unharmed, while the second manages to completely dodge him and aims his fists towards LHC’s head.

1163-1164 LHC is also sent towards the wall, with his body turning into a fleshy sludge. As the siblings

aren’t considered weak, BY is shocked while STM reassures the crying LYY that she can leave both

opponents to him. They then enter the stage, to find that they have four opponents as the next group

needs to fight the previous groups’ undefeated opponents. LYY cries to STM and he tells her to run.

However, she states that she won’t be a burden, only to hide behind STM when the four men attack.

1165 STM blocks the 4 fists with an ice shield, coughing up blood. LYY is shocked he’s so weak, not knowing

he had planned to dodge, but instantly raised a shield when she hid behind him. LYY heads towards NL,

only to be drawn back by a powerful vacuum. NL is indifferent to her pleas, while STM tries to save her, but

is too busy defending against 3 of the men. The other man picks up LYY by her foot, but instead of tossing

her, finds her screams amusing and throws her onto his head like a wreath.

1166 LYY shudders as the man places her on the floor and feels his moist head to realize she had peed on

him out of fear. Furious, the man raises LYY, preparing to toss her. STM is distracted by LYY’s screams, and

stabbed in the chest by a knife, then beaten until his whole body is covered in bruises. Determined to save

LYY, he pushes the dagger in deeper, using the blood to perform another blood sacrifice. ZiY is saddened

since he is still her fellow apprentice, and that now his soul will cease to exist.

1167 LYY is delighted to see STM form a mudra, when the man holding her prepares to throw her out. STM

anxiously completes the ritual, covering the 4 men with his blood and draining their spiritual energy until

less than 10% remains. He tells LYY to hurry and take them out as they head towards him. LYY cries that she

can’t and his eyes darken as he still had a slim chance of surviving since LYY is unharmed and able to fight.

1168 LYY hugs the pillar, reminding him he had promised to protect her. STM’s heart sinks as he despairs

over giving all his love to a cowardly and heartless woman who won’t even act to save herself. LYY calls him

selfish, as the 4 men’s attack lands on him, crushing his bones and throwing him towards the wall.

1169 ZiY cries, while SL tells her his death wasn’t worthless as he finally saw LYY for who she was and that

it’s better than living under her spell. ZiY laments he could’ve lived if he had realized sooner. SL tells her to

prepare to face 6, as LYY will soon die. LYY shudders, looking at STM who died with his eyes open, staring at

her and the 4 men now approaching her. They hit the pillar she’s gripping, and their strength has started to

recover as the blood sacrifice is wearing off.

1170 With no alternative, LYY comes down from the pillar, stepping on the one of the men’s heads, noticing

it now has a dent and is bleeding. Not expecting them to be so weak, LYY laughs, thinking that she would’ve

saved STM if she had known. She effortlessly decapitates one by kicking it in the neck, and cleans the rest,

darting around like a fairy. After the fight, the stage repairs itself and LYY flaunts her victory, while ZiY is

disgusted since STM sacrificed himself for her. LYY is despondent since STM isn’t there to side with her.

Chapter 1171-1180 Nine Layered Pagoda 14

1171 ZiY approaches the stage, feeling overwhelmed as the men are 9th ranked while she is 7th and BY is 8th.

SL gives her the Fire Stone containing DST, telling her that it had saved her from YX and to throw it at the

opponent if her life is in danger, as well as corrosive powder. BY faces one, while the other picks up ZiY,

wanting to shred her after watching LYY’s display.

1172 ZiY manages to throw the stone at his head, causing a powerful explosion. The man loosens his grip

on her and clutches his inflamed head, falling dead. ZiY is shocked its over so soon, but the stone can only

be used once so she returns it to SL. BY is thrown to the ground, so ZiY rams herself against the man to help

him, but it has no effect. The injured BY then tackles the man before he can toss ZiY out.

1173 The man sends a palm towards ZiY but she manages to rip open the packet of corrosive powder,

pouring it on his neck. The sensation resembles thousands of ants and he slaps ZiY to the floor. BY charges

to kill him, but rebounds near ZiY. They despair over the man’s 9th ranked power, and their impeding

demise, when SL shouts that they still have the 10th ranked Spirit Bombs from the second barrier.

1174 The two almost go mad with realization and ZiY throws her Spirit Bomb at the man, but can only

manage a light throw due to her injuries and the man dodges. BY takes his and charges towards the man,

burying it in his chest. The man’s knee-jerk reaction kicks BY away, and ZiY manages to catch him from a

safe distance as the bomb explodes and they finish the round.

1175-1176 SL heals them and heads to the stage with NL. He tells her he’ll protect her and to stay safe, but

SL tells him to concentrate on fighting. Their opponents are both 10th ranked and almost press SL to the

ground with their spiritual pressure despite NL’s barrier. Confident he can take them out individually, NL

sends countless astral attacks to form a dust cloud, covering the field. He charges towards one of the men

with the DHS, splitting apart his spiritual armour. The man blocks with his arm, but cracks start forming on

his body as NL continues pressing down. The other man is free to attack SL, but struggles as her dragon

defends her while the fox darts around, punching his head and NL’s dust shield keeps her hidden.

1177 Her spirit pets are too fast for the man to grasp, so he uses his pressure as a 10th rank, causing the

dragon to cough blood and the fox to faint. However, the SGT forms a protective cage with its vines, giving

NL enough time to cut his opponent’s throat. SL’s opponent manages to break through and aims a fist

towards her. SL takes out the CSS, which has its own spiritual energy and has it fly around to attack the

man. However, she suddenly loses sight of it when the man bats it away.

1178 The cowardly CSS is lying on the ground. It rises again, heading towards SL, wanting to return to her

space. SL bats it back, and it starts staggering. NL manages to finish his own fight and stabs SL’s opponent in

the waist with his DHS, having identified it as the most vulnerable part. The man turns, barely managing to

avoid it, when NL hits his head and he crashes to the floor.

1179 The man hardens its body until it becomes metallic, and pounces towards NL with a flying kick. NL sets

his sword down, deflecting with a water attack, before summoning a rain of Lightning Snakes to cover him.

He then forms a ball of lightning, causing the man to shiver.

1180 The ball of lightning explodes as it hits the man’s head and SL laughs at how the man’s ultimate

defence was taken down so easily, causing NL to frown as she failed to appreciate his well calculated plans.

He kisses her, telling her they’ll marry when they return as he feels uneasy until he can claim her as his. SL

is about to reply, when she sees ZiY has woken and pushes NL away. She tells ZiY they’ve won, but haven’t

received the RBBG yet, when it appears on a table at the centre of the stone stage.


1181 NL steps on the stage and his body starts to dry up. SL tells him not to go as the situation is more

dangerous than their previous battle, but he thinks curing her is worth the risk. The Pagoda Master appears

in human form, telling them he’ll destroy it if they don’t collect their prize, but each step they make

towards it will cause them to age until there’s nothing left but bone.

1182 SL hugs NL to stop him, but he persists since SL only has a month left without it. Touching her

acupuncture point, he immobilizes her, recalling RY had warned him getting the RBBG came at a cost and

continues walking. SL is remorseful over fighting with NL and allowing YX to injure her (chapters 975-982).

1183 There are 10 stairs between NL and the RGGB. NL climbs them one by one, only slowing down when

he reaches the 8th, and stopping at the 9th where an overwhelming force causes him to sweat and struggle.

SL and ZiY tell him to retreat rather than force himself, but he continues since it’s the last step. They cheer,

until they realize something and look at NL in shock.

1184 On the platform of the 10th step, NL starts to age rapidly, with each step bringing him closer to death.

He presses on, thinking it’s worth saving SL, and ages 10 years with each step – 30, 40, 50 – slowly

transforming into a shrivelled, white-haired skeleton. BY and ZiY cry, while SL tells him she’ll be with him no

matter what. NL takes another step, feeling his organs and vitality at their limit.

1185 NL grabs the box with the RBBG, and ZiY cheers. SL has broken the acupuncture seal, and runs

towards NL. NL uses the last of his strength to give the RBBG to SL, telling her to live, but she cries and

throws it aside, telling him she’ll die along with him.

1186 The Pagoda Master approaches SL, and tells her he can save NL if she gives him her soul (灵魂 Líng

Hún). BY and ZiY try to stop her as it means she’ll die. The Pagoda Master clarifies that he won’t separate

her soul from her body, but she has to do his bidding.

1187 SL is suspicious as his current soul is black, when DST tells her he’s taking advantage of her. The

Pagoda Master tries to pressure her into accepting, and she urges DST to tell her. He explains that if she

eats the RGGB, her blood will be able to regrow flesh on the dead, so as long as NL drinks her blood, he’ll

survive, and can even restore his original appearance by bathing in it. Though his cultivation will still take

time to recover.


1188 The Pagoda Master is still waiting for SL’s reply, only to find she’s now eating the RBBG she had cast

aside. LYY was watching on, and rages at SL for not trying to save him. SL tells her NL is her business,

sending the dragon to attack her. She then tells BY and ZiY to watch over her as she absorbs the RBBG. SL

starts cultivating, feeling her blood warm up and spiritual energy rush through her bones.

1189 SL burns up, feeling as though a Fire Dragon is raging inside her, but endures since she can save NL.

ZiY and BY watch on as she advances to 7th ranked, followed by 8th ranked, shocked since she managed to

progress 8 ranks in 2 years. The Pagoda Master wants to remove her since he can’t use her but promised

the 7th Prince he’d let her live, while hoping SL still doesn’t know the cure.

1190 SL finishes cultivating, and tells the excited BY 8th ranked is nothing since he has also achieved it. LYY

tries to shame them for celebrating while NL is dying and the Pagoda Master joins in. SL approaches NL and

takes out her YH dagger, cutting her wrist and letting her blood spray over him.

1191 NL’s body absorbs the blood, slowly recovering his youth state. The Pagoda Master laments SL

wasting her blood as each drop can regrow flesh and assist training. Hearing this LYY perks up, thinking that

now everyone will be after her. SL starts to feel faint after losing so much blood, but stays to watch over NL.

NL stirs and asks if the blood covering him is hers. SL replies half of it is his since he had gotten her the

RBBG. NL tells SL to cut the problem at its source to prevent her secret from leaking.

1192 They all turn to LYY, and she feels pitiful since the person who wants to remove her is NL. LYY cries out

for STM, but he’s already dead, before pleading for her life since STM had died for her. She reminds NL how

she saved him by stealing their master’s medicine to send to him when he was injured, causing their master

to almost break her legs. But NL won’t risk her harming SL.

1193 LYY promises not to reveal the properties in SL’s blood, but when NL approaches, trying to kill her, she

laughs before disappearing. LYY is no longer in the Nine Layered Pagoda, having used a Teleportation Stone

(传送石 Chuán Sòng Shí) to escape. Teleportation Stones are unpredictable and the user can end up

anywhere. Though space masters are currently extinct, one of the Jade Lake ancestors was one, and

should’ve left some – though LYY’s was probably the last.

1194 ZiY rages as LYY had a Teleportation Stone, but still chose to let STM die for her. The mood darkens

over LYY’s selfishness and that SL’s secret will be blabbed to the world. NL reassure them that he shattered

LYY’s core when she left, and she might not survive. Thinking how LYY had escaped in front of him, SL

notices that NL has weakened and he jokes that she now needs to protect him. He begins to cultivate to

absorb the effects of her blood. After a day, his skin is restored to its usual flawless state, while he’s

recovered up to 7th ranked and can return to 10th within a month.

1195 They leave the Pagoda and search for LYY within Mu Xian Temple. She should have fallen into a coma,

but none of them can find her. NL speculates that one of the Jade Lake elders had left their spiritual imprint

on the stone to alert them when LYY uses it. SL laments her life is a never-ending battle, and NL reassures

her he’ll recover within a month and they’ll set out after.
