Summary

The chapter depicts a group from Qing Xuan Sacred Ground discovering an ancient temple that, contrary to expectations, contains only a corpse of a monk and some decayed Buddhist scriptures. Jiang Xun, a disciple, is particularly restless and believes there must be hidden treasures inside. Guan Xue Lan, the sect leader, is initially frustrated by the lack of findings. After examining the corpse and feeling a strange force, she destroys it, leading to a mysterious voice proclaiming significant events in the Eastern Wilderness. Meanwhile, Guan Xue Lan comforts Jiang Xun about his lost sword and encourages him to assist in crafting talismans for the sect. The chapter ends with Guan Xue Lan sensing trouble with her sixth disciple, He Meng Yun, who is dangerously close to destroying her own soul in a reckless act.
