Alright, fellow Daoists, the moment we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! Ji Ning’s desperate gambit in the third trial of the aquatic palace pays off. Barely alive, his meridians shredded and his energy spent, he watches as the black-furred monster collapses—wounded! It’s a raw, emotional victory, and the old monster’s howl of pain and relief after aeons of isolation hits harder than any blade. This is a classic Xianxia beat: the protagonist cheats death through a clever combination of unique traits (Divine Sense + Fiendgod regeneration), and the ancient guardian gets the bittersweet release it craved. Ji Ning is now the heir apparent, and the estate itself opens up to reveal a mind-bogglingly vast hall—a chamber built for giants. His real audience with the legacy just begins when a mysterious talking black ox strolls out, identifying itself as the artifact spirit of Celestial Immortal Juhua’s personal treasure. Get ready for some world-building, lore drops, and a hint of just how rare Ji Ning’s talent truly is.
This chapter marks the end of the first major “trial arc” of the aquatic palace, but the real prize—knowledge and the legacy—is just about to unfold. Pay close attention to the black ox’s assessment. It confirms that Ji Ning’s feat is an anomaly, impossible for anyone who didn’t have his specific combination of traits. This reinforces the idea that his journey is unique. The introduction of the artifact spirit also signals a shift: Ji Ning is no longer a desperate test-taker; he is now in a dialogue with a knowledgeable ancient being. This sets the stage for the acquisition of techniques, the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation, and the Fiendgod Blood-Refining Art. Also, take note of the ox’s casual mention of the “Grand Xia Dynasty.” This is the first major expansion of the world’s political scope. The story is moving beyond the tribal politics of the Yan Mountains and hinting at a vast empire with its own immortal armies and strict rules. Strap in, because the lore dump is about to get heavy, and the cultivation road is about to get a whole lot wider.
