Anchan

Story context

Holy jade lotus hellfire, our boy Diancai *actually made it*! The old Earth Immortal weathered the Six-Nine Tribulation and ascended to the glittering realm of Celestial Immortality. But while Heaven celebrated with seven-colored clouds and blooming golden lotuses, the Bloodfiend Church’s Blooddrop was lurking in the wings, waiting to see if the gamble paid off before blowing a precious Greater Teleportation Dao-seal to escape. Ji Ning’s Primaltwin gets the full story—how his Master’s Heartfiend Tribulation became the perfect cover for a two-pronged assassination attempt, and how Ji Ning’s true body annihilated seven Dharma Kings to keep that window of vulnerability shut. Back in the mountains, Ji Ning pieces together the location of the mysterious faction that tried to kill him: the Eastwood School. And he’s *not* the type to let a secret ambush slide without investigating.

Why it matters

Fellow Daoists, prepare for one of those rare chapters where the *system* gets a beautiful moment in the sun. If you’ve ever wondered what the fuss about “Golden Core” is, this is your answer. The chapter explicitly links it to classical Daoist alchemy, giving you a lore infusion that makes the power fantasy feel rooted in something ancient. Diancai’s ascension is a cathartic payoff for anyone who’s been rooting for the old man—he’s not just strong, he’s *legitimate* in the eyes of Heaven.
