The Immortal Book

At the Heart-Questioning Ceremony of the Xuantian Sword Sect, Yun Xinghe is meditating among the Sword Steles when he accidentally activates an ancient restriction and obtains half of the Xuantian Treasure Scroll. At the same time, remnants of the Demon Cult attack the mountain gate, and Xiao Yuchen disguises himself as an injured rogue cultivator to infiltrate the sect. While treating the wounded, Su Qingyue discovers a hidden demonic seed inside him, but her soft heart keeps her from exposing him on the spot.

Three months later, at the Immortal Sects' Martial Contest, Lu Qingming defeats experts from twelve sects with peerless sword techniques. His moves secretly contain the Nine Heavens Lightning-Calling Art recorded in the Xuantian Treasure Scroll. Jin Mantang, owner of the auction house, takes the opportunity to spread word that the scroll has resurfaced, sending shockwaves through the cultivation world. While investigating the destruction of the medicinal fields, Bai Wuya discovers that the Spirit-Devouring Gu bred by the Demon Cult has infiltrated all thirty-six grotto-heavens.

The main plot takes a turn at the Tianyong City auction. Zhao Zixuan secretly bids on a Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill to save her father, only to have Nangong Yu steal it from under her nose. In the ensuing chaos, Yun Xinghe exposes himself as the inheritor of the treasure scroll while saving Mu Qingqian, a complete stranger. In his Record of Cultivation World's Strange Tales, the storyteller Zhuge Ming reveals that the complete scroll can only be unsealed by someone with a body attuned to both the sun and moon, exactly matching Su Qingyue's hidden constitution.
