Return of the First Patriarch Chapter 34 is officially confirmed to release on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. This chapter marks a critical escalation in the sect-rebuilding phase as the First Patriarch finally begins to root out the internal corruption that led to his clan’s initial downfall. With the “Hidden Elder” now exposed, the power dynamic within the mountain is shifting toward a total restoration of the patriarch’s absolute authority.
I know the “Forbidden Vault Recovery” has been the #1 request from OtakuSignal readers for the past month. Now that the date is set for April 14, I’ll be here to provide weekly breakdowns of the ancient cultivation techniques being revived and the ruthless efficiency the First Patriarch brings to his “unruly” descendants.
Key Takeaways:
- The Story: We are entering the “Sect Purge” arc, where the patriarch utilizes his primordial soul strength to redefine the sect’s hierarchy from the ground up.
- Where to Read: The official English platform is Tapas (or the KakaoPage raw platform).
- Confirmed Release Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
- The Conflict: Chapter 34 focuses on the direct confrontation between the First Patriarch and the treacherous elders who sold out the sect’s secrets.
Return of the First Patriarch Chapter 33 Recap: The Elbder’s Betrayal
The Traitor Revealed
The previous chapter ended with a shocking reveal as the Third Elder was caught attempting to smuggle the “Spirit-Severing Pill” to a rival sect. His excuse of “saving the clan” was immediately silenced by the Patriarch’s overwhelming pressure.
The Primordial Pressure
The First Patriarch displayed a fraction of his true power, paralyzing every disciple in the hall without lifting a finger. The chapter closed on the Elder begging for mercy as the Patriarch prepared to pass judgment using the “Ancient Soul-Searching” technique.

The Traitor’s Memories
Chapter 34 is expected to show the First Patriarch successfully extracting the names of the outside conspirators. This will likely reveal a much larger plot involving the “Three Great Heavens,” proving that the sect’s decline was a coordinated assassination over centuries.
The New Disciple Selection
In a move to replace the corrupt leadership, the Patriarch is predicted to announce a “Talent Over Bloodline” trial. Spoilers suggest he will personally handpick a low-ranked outer disciple to become his direct shadow, shocking the high-born branch families who have controlled the sect for generations.

FAQ Section
Will the First Patriarch kill the Third Elder in Chapter 34?
While he is known for being ruthless, Chapter 34 is expected to show him “crippling” the Elder’s cultivation instead of execution, keeping him alive for further interrogation.
What is the “Spirit-Severing Pill”?
A prohibited item that can temporarily mask a cultivator’s aura; its presence confirms that external enemies have already infiltrated the mountain.
Is the Patriarch’s body fully healed?
Not yet; Chapter 34 hints that he is currently operating at only 15% of his original primordial strength, making his political moves even more calculated.
