Story context
Fellow Daoists, buckle up! The calm before the storm is over, and the Shaoyin clan's deepest, darkest secret is about to be ripped out—literally. Ji Ning, with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball, has found an ancient copper pillar buried deep underground and is dead set on pulling it out, consequences be damned. This chapter is a masterclass in Xianxia siege logic: raw, unstoppable power versus the frantic, failed desperation of an entire clan's Celestial Immortal backbone. The real kicker? The massive, horned figure in the chapter's opening reveal is now confirmed as the Shaoyin clan's trump card—and he is not happy.
Why it matters
Get ready for the final boss fight of this arc! The Shaoyin clan's Ancestor has arrived, and he's clearly a being of immense power. Ji Ning is still holding the pillar, and the Ancestor is pissed. Will Ji Ning manage to pull it free before a fight breaks out? What is so important about this "Endless Cupping Furnace"? And just how strong is this mysterious horned being? This is the perfect setup for a high-stakes clash where the fate of the treasure and the continued survival of the Shaoyin clan hang in the balance. Keep your eyes peeled—this is where things get truly epic.
