Facing Chu Linglong who had lost her primordial spirit and was unconscious, Chu Lei was filled with guilt and internal conflict. The fake Zhu Shi took the initiative to find Chu Lei and offered to use his sect's spirit key to exchange for Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. Chu Lei was unwilling to disregard the world's common people for his own selfish reasons and insisted on waiting for the consensus of all sect masters before making a decision.

The Vice Master of Lize Palace suggested using the Tianji Pearl to create a fake spirit key for the exchange. The fake Zhu Shi lied, claiming his vital energy had not recovered and he could not activate the Tianji Pearl, designating the Master of Dianjing Vally to decipher it, which Master Rong naturally agreed to.

The Vice Master of Lize Palace mocked Chu Lei for knowing the secrets of the other four sects but not revealing the secret realm of Shaoyang, showing no sincerity of gratitude. After hesitating, Chu Lei had no choice but to reveal everything, telling everyone that the secret realm sealed the heart soul of the Star of Mosha, and it concerned the safety of the three realms, which was why Shaoyang had kept it a secret.

However, as long as the four spirit keys were not lost, the secret realm would not be broken. The most urgent task now was to decipher the Tianji Pearl, which was a divine artifact made from a meteorite from outside the heavens. It could be assisted by the spiritual energy of Fuyu Island's Marriage Stone.

They also needed to find disciples with birthdays corresponding to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, to form a formation with the Master of Dianjing Vally to activate it. Chu Xuanji belonged to fire, Hao Chen belonged to wood, and with three other disciples of the remaining elements, the deciphering formation could be activated.

Chu Xuanji thought that Fuyu Island's Marriage Stone was ineffective, but Fuyu Island also had records of stories where the Marriage Stone emitted red light, though the stories were ancient and not to be taken seriously. After Master Rong activated the formation and obtained what he needed from the Marriage Stone, the Marriage Stone emitted a red light. The red light suddenly shone on Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji.

This result filled Chu Lei and others with joy and continuous blessings, and Chu Lei was also extremely satisfied in his heart. Not only did Hao Chen not want it, but Chu Xuanji was even more anxious to refuse, stating that marriage was not something to be taken lightly. Seeing that Chu Xuanji was unwilling, Hao Chen had no choice but to dispel the red light and explain his refusal in front of everyone before it was settled.

Hao Chen summoned Siming to ask about the Marriage Stone emitting red light. Although the Marriage Stone was something Siming had randomly created and thrown into the mortal realm, the red light shining on Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji was fated. Siming boldly suggested that Hao Chen and Chu Xuanji continue their relationship from a hundred years ago and conveniently guide Chu Xuanji back to the heavenly realm.

Hao Chen was instantly enraged upon hearing this, speaking only of the common people in the world, unaware that he himself was moved by Chu Xuanji. Claiming that there were not enough people on the island, the fake Zhu Shi ordered the Island Master of Fuyu Island to summon all the disciples back to guard the island. Upon the disciples' return, the Sword Web Formation would be activated.

At this moment, the Master of Dianjing Vally was activating the Tianji Pearl and placing the fake spirit key inside. Chu Xuanji took care of Chu Linglong and confided in her. Everything was ready, and Chu Xuanji was anxious to depart to rescue Chu Linglong's primordial spirit. She happened to encounter the Shaoyang senior and junior brothers teasing her and Hao Chen about their fated marriage. These words were overheard by Yu Sifeng, who turned and left.

Chu Xuanji chased after him, explaining about the Marriage Stone. Chu Xuanji would never marry Hao Chen because of the Marriage Stone, but Yu Sifeng, hurt, responded coldly. No matter how Yu Sifeng understood, Chu Xuanji was determined to explain clearly that helping with marriage was not something just anyone could do; only Yu Sifeng could. The Fuyu Island disciples were about to land on the island, but the Tianxu Hall attacked with a horde of demons.

In the critical situation, the Sword Web Formation had to be activated again. The remaining disciples who had not landed could only continue to fight the Tianxu Hall demons. The Sword Web Formation was slowly activating, but the Tianxu Hall had already landed on the island and was fighting the Fuyu disciples. The demonic beasts were also breaking through the Sword Web Formation. The Sword Web Formation was in danger and likely could not be preserved.

The Tianxu Hall continuously destroyed the Sword Web Formation eyes. Dongfang Qingqi was anxious to protect the formation eyes. Qing Rong suddenly appeared, full of deep affection. To protect her safety, Dongfang Qingqi handed her the Island Master's token and ordered Yu Ning to escort Qing Rong to the back mountain. The Tianxu Hall's attack was fierce, and Dongfang Qingqi could not hold the formation eyes either.

Yu Sifeng tried his best to mend the holes but still could not completely stop the power of the lightning and fire bombs. Fortunately, Chu Xuanji arrived in time and activated her latent God of War potential, causing the Tianxu Hall demons to self-detonate outside the formation eyes, reversing the disadvantage. The Tianxu Hall demons retreated. After Chu Xuanji's God of War power subsided, she fell from the sky. Yu Sifeng caught Chu Xuanji as she floated down.

Chu Xuanji was still wondering if Yu Sifeng was angry with her. Yu Sifeng naturally wasn't angry with Chu Xuanji; he was just worried if she was injured. When everyone arrived and praised Chu Xuanji for her功绩 (merit), there were still lingering demons on the island, and the fake Zhu Shi was nowhere to be seen. The Vice Master and Hao Chen led people to the beach to clear out the demons.

Chu Xuanji smelled a strong demonic aura near the Treasure Pavilion. Qing Rong drugged Yu Ning, who was guiding her, and then met up with the butler. She successfully used the Island Master's token to open the Treasure Pavilion and took out two spirit keys. However, Qing Rong was still somewhat clear-headed and did not hand the spirit keys to the butler before leaving Fuyu Island.

The two were preparing to escape from a weak point in the Sword Web, but fortunately, Dongfang Qingqi led people to block Qing Rong and the butler. The butler revealed his demonic form, a Earth Wolf. Qing Rong also admitted the fact that she had long ago betrayed Dongfang Qingqi. Dongfang Qingqi was stimulated and fought the Earth Wolf, but the Earth Wolf's demonic power was strong and knocked Dongfang Qingqi to the ground.

Even Chu Lei, stepping in, suffered the Earth Wolf's poisonous palm. Only with the combined efforts of Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were they able to subdue the Earth Wolf. However, Dongfang Qingqi, blinded by love, only thought about his夫人 (wife/lady) and disregarded the spirit keys. The Earth Wolf took advantage of everyone's inattention and took both the spirit keys and Qing Rong with him.

Chu Xuanji wanted to chase after the Earth Wolf to retrieve the spirit keys, but Chu Lei forbade her from putting herself in danger. Chu Lei's meaning was to give up Chu Linglong for the sake of the world's common people. Everyone interrogated the surviving small demon, from whom they learned that the Tianxu Hall wanted to collect the four spirit keys to rescue Wu Zhiqi, the Left Emissary of the Demon Domain.

Wu Zhiqi held the Juntian Cehai, and obtaining the Juntian Cehai was the only way to break the Crystal Lamp and release the heart soul of the Star of Mosha, resurrecting the Star of Mosha and overturning the three realms. The Tianxu Hall's actions terrified the several sect masters. Only the Vice Master had an indifferent attitude. The remaining two spirit keys needed to be guarded more closely, and the true problem lay in the Shaoyang secret realm.

Although the Earth Wolf was injured, he had also injured Chu Lei and even collected Chu Lei's essence blood, which could be used to transform into Chu Lei's appearance and act.
