We start off with Hua Cheng being

reverted to a small child. This is absolutely adorable and the reveal of him growing back to normal size is so sweet.

I think my major complaint with this book is that while I generally love two characters discussing lore to themselves, it does come across as info-dumpy in this novel. We went through

Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen's backstory, as well as Pei Ming and Rain Master's.

Most of the book they are traveling through Mount Tonglu and we get more info-dumps about the

people of Wuyong.

The pda levels are increasing

(there's so much hugging Im gonna die of cuteness - when they were trapped in the wall together? Ugh so hard to focus on dumb Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen)

and Pei Ming is very likeable for this entire book.  Every time anyone says

your San Lang or your Crimson Rain Sought Flower

to Xie Lian, I just about die.

This seemed like a pretty decent slow-build for the next book (and comedy relief) before getting into the next book where we learn about the Fourth Calamity.

Story focuses on the the characters traveling and picking up clues towards a final showdown. Not my favorite book, but necessary to understand the backgrounds of some of the minor characters and how they're linked to each other in their pasts, along with the buildup to the explanation of the whole series' major plot twist. A few cute scenes between the xie lian and hua Cheng.
