Though Xiao Se had lost all his martial skills, his lightness technique allowed him to go toe-to-toe with Sikong Qianluo—though he was ultimately subdued. At that moment, Lei Wujie had passed the fourteenth floor. Tang Lian gave him a bottle of Ice-Clear Water. It would freeze an ordinary person’s blood vessels, but Lei Wujie, having trained in fire, could protect his heart from harm. Jinxian came alone to see the National Preceptor, seeking insight into the future of the empire.

The Preceptor said the way of heaven cannot be spoken lightly, for the moment you understand it, it has already begun to change. It is a possibility, not a fixed answer, but people only want certainty. That’s why Xiao Se didn’t let Feixuan continue divining. Whatever the fate of the nation, he believed in himself, not heaven—believing man must triumph over fate.

That night, Xiao Se brought Lei Wujie to the Donggui Tavern, where they met Baili Dongjun and tasted the “Drunken Romance of Snow, Moon, and Flowers,” a drink that captured all the flavors of the world. Lei Wujie found it too mild, preferring the fiery old grain liquor. Yet after three cups, his Flame-Burning Technique broke through three major realms. According to Xiao Se, reaching that level would normally take at least three years of training.

Yet Lei Wujie achieved it in a single drunken night. Sikong Changfeng reminded Li Hanyi she should meet Lei Wujie and also mentioned that Zhao Yuzhen’s disciple had arrived in Xueyue City. Baili Dongjun, seeking the final ingredient to brew the memory-erasing Meng Po Soup, planned to head to an immortal island overseas and left the tavern to Xiao Se before departing. When Lei Wujie awoke, he intended to thank Baili Dongjun, only to learn he had already left.

Xiao Se took him to eat instead. Knowing they would soon part ways, he personally treated Lei Wujie to a meal. Over this time, the two had formed a strong friendship—but when Xiao Se mentioned the 800 taels debt again, Lei Wujie’s gloom instantly vanished. Lei Wujie continued his challenge and was shocked to discover that the elder guarding the fifteenth floor was his uncle-master Lei Yunhe.

After being defeated by Zhao Yuzhen, Lei Yunhe lost his right arm and his standing, disappearing from the martial world. Lei Wujie never expected him to be hiding in Xueyue City. Even as a half-crippled man, Lei Yunhe still defeated Lei Wujie effortlessly, mocking his overconfidence. Despite repeated failures, Lei Wujie refused to give up. His bold words reminded Lei Yunhe of his younger self. The martial world hadn’t changed—it was Lei Yunhe who had been trapped too long.

With that, Lei Yunhe lost to Lei Wujie, returning to the realm of Free Sky. The legendary Nine Heavens Thunderstorm reappeared in the world. Seeing Lei Yunhe from below, Xiao Se and the others sighed with emotion. Few disciples from Wangcheng Mountain knew of him, due to his deep enmity with Zhao Yuzhen.

Back in the day, Lei Yunhe was one of the Lei Clan’s Four Elites, known as the Thunder of Nine Heavens that Shook the World—able to pierce 90,000 li with a single finger. His most famous battle was attacking Wangcheng Mountain, where Zhao Yuzhen fell into madness. As clouds churned and the yellow crane cried, Lei Yunhe rode a crane like a deity, soaring toward Wangcheng Mountain.

Without hesitation, Lei Wujie leaped to the top of the Heaven-Climbing Pavilion and challenged Xueyue City with his sword. Yet Li Hanyi did not appear. Only after Lei Wujie shouted several times did she finally show herself. With one swing of her sword, Li Hanyi split the Heaven-Climbing Pavilion in two. Sikong Changfeng, heartbroken over his tower, angrily cursed from below.

Lei Wujie was struck down with a single blow and fell from the sixteenth floor, finally realizing the true power of a Sword Immortal. But when he looked up, he saw Li Fansong across from him. With the Immeasurable Sword in hand, Li Fansong also challenged Xueyue City—only to meet the same fate as Lei Wujie. The two then decided to join forces—one wielding a flame-patterned sword, the other a peachwood sword—and rose once more.

Li Hanyi sneered at the two brats and suddenly spun her sword into a flower shape. Two sword energies shot toward Lei Wujie and Li Fansong. This technique, named "Moon at Dusk, Flowers at Dawn," was both stunning and perilous. Camellia petals filled the air—countless blossoms circling, indescribably beautiful. In an instant, the Heaven-Climbing Pavilion was reduced to ruins, petals gently drifting down.
