After the Cui Clan’s Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art repeatedly failed, Clan Head Cui refunded the forces and paid them back with the clan’s mines. Meanwhile, a Spiritual Qi resurgence brought wondrous phenomena across the three continents, leaving everyone wondering what apparition would appear at the Vast Heaven Sect.

• After Chu Xinghe and Feng Yuzheng left, the forces hired Clan Head Cui to find spirit mines, but the Cui Clan’s first two days of searches yielded fifty empty mines.
• Clan Head Cui activated the Xuanwu Shell, but the Cui Clan’s searches reached a hundred consecutive failures, provoking more than a hundred forces to storm its estate.
• Clan Head Cui refunded the fees and gave away dozens of the Cui Clan’s large mines as compensation, after which the forces returned to buying mines themselves.
• As Spiritual Qi surged across the three continents, Martial Emperor City displayed Purple Rhyme Giving Rise to Spirits, and other regions developed wondrous phenomena.
• The Wolf King Ming Han passed his lightning tribulation beneath Heavenly Wolf Devours the Moon and entered the Mid-Stage Mystic God realm.
• The various forces turned their attention to the Vast Heaven Sect and wondered whether Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin and a holy land apparition would appear.

As Spiritual Qi revived across the world, the Vast Heaven Sect failed to produce any phenomenon because the Haotian Mountain Range had a low upper limit. The sect rejected moving elsewhere and resolved to break through that limit itself to earn recognition as the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

• People across the world watched the Vast Heaven Sect, expecting it to produce the Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin phenomenon and become a holy land.
• The Haotian Mountain Range produced no phenomenon, and its Spiritual Qi remained weaker than that of places where phenomena had appeared.
• Cheng Xiaotian explained that the mountain range's natural upper limit had kept its Spiritual Qi low, and people accepted his reasoning.
• Sect Master Gu Mingchao and the Vast Heaven Sect's elders fell silent as they realized their home had become an obstacle to their rise as a holy land.
• Douding'er suggested moving the sect to the Land of Wilderness, but the grand elder and others explained that a holy land had to produce its phenomenon on its own ground.
• The Vast Heaven Sect decided to break through the Haotian Mountain Range's limit and create the Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin phenomenon through its own strength.

The Vast Heaven Sect debated how to overcome the Haotian Mountain Range’s weak foundation, and White Tiger proposed replacing its spirit root with a massive formation using Xuanwu’s Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art. The plan would consume two-thirds of the sect’s resources and depended on Xuanwu, whose bad luck left Chu Xinghe facing a dangerous gamble.

• The Vast Heaven Sect’s leaders rejected moving the sect and discussed how to strengthen the Haotian Mountain Range’s foundation.
• White Tiger explained that the Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art could locate blessed lands and reshape spirit veins, then proposed replacing the mountain range’s spirit root.
• White Tiger estimated that the plan would require two-thirds of the Vast Heaven Sect’s resources, causing an uproar among the elders.
• The elders joked about reducing the disciples’ allowances, but Elder He pointed out that the formation also depended on Xuanwu.
• Chu Xinghe worried that Xuanwu’s bad luck could ruin the plan, then resolved to accept whatever fortune came with the attempt.

Chu Xinghe supported reforging the Haotian Mountain Range’s spirit root, believing the Vast Heaven Sect would spend vast resources and benefit from the resulting misfortune. As the sect announced its plan, Cheng Xiaotian explained to Zheng Yu that the Vast Heaven Sect was confronting its weakness head-on to preserve its momentum and become a holy land.

• Chu Xinghe argued against involving Xuanwu and backed asking Clan Head Cui to use geomancy and spirit-seeking to locate the mountain’s spirit root.
• White Tiger explained that the Cui Clan’s bad luck could not come from their old worship of Xuanwu unless they had used something connected to his true body.
• People across the world questioned how the Vast Heaven Sect would overcome the Haotian Mountain Range’s weak spirit root, and the sect announced it would reforge it.
• Zheng Yu asked Cheng Xiaotian why the Vast Heaven Sect would not move to the Land of Wilderness instead.
• Cheng Xiaotian told Zheng Yu that retreat would squander the sect’s momentum, and Zheng Yu understood that the Vast Heaven Sect intended to become a holy land by overcoming its weakness directly.

The Vast Heaven Sect announced that it would use the White Tiger's formation and the Cui Clan's Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art to reshape the Haotian Mountain Range's spiritual roots and establish a holy land without the Heavenly Dao's approval. Believing Xuanwu's bad luck would make their efforts fail, Clan Head Cui and the Cui Clan eagerly volunteered to help Chu Xinghe, but their journey to the Vast Heaven Sect went disastrously awry.

• The Vast Heaven Sect announced it would spend two-thirds of its resources to create the Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin phenomenon and reshape the Haotian Mountain Range's spiritual roots.
• Clan Head Cui realized Xuanwu's bad luck was affecting the Cui Clan through the Xuanwu Shell and decided that helping Chu Xinghe would turn their misfortune to the clan's advantage.
• Clan Head Cui gathered the Cui Clan's geomancy experts and instructed them to sincerely do everything they could to help Chu Xinghe win.
• The Cui Clan set out for the Vast Heaven Sect by teleportation array but appeared at the edge of the Spirit-Bewildering Wasteland.
• After four days, the bedraggled Cui Clan reached the Vast Heaven Sect, and Chu Xinghe was moved by their arrival.

The Vast Heaven Sect began restoring the Haotian Mountain Range's spiritual root by building interconnected Spirit Gathering Formations, with the Cui Clan guiding spiritual energy into them. The formations succeeded one after another, leaving Chu Xinghe baffled and the Cui Clan wondering where their infamous bad luck had gone.

• White Tiger approved Clan Head Cui's team and began the plan to create tens of thousands of Spirit Gathering Formations across the Haotian Mountain Range.
• Chu Xinghe and the Formation Spirit Clan set up the first formation, and Clan Head Cui guided the spirits into it, causing a powerful purple beam to rise and confirming the plan worked.
• The Vast Heaven Sect celebrated the first success while Chu Xinghe wondered why the Cui Clan's bad luck had not caused a failure.
• Clan Head Cui led the second formation to an even better result, then assigned Cui Wuming to handle the third, which succeeded as well.
• Cui Wuming and several Cui Clan members took turns guiding the formations, and every attempt succeeded, even when one expert made a small mistake.
• White Tiger praised the Cui Clan's extraordinary success rate, saying they had outdone even Xuanwu at his peak.

The Cui Clan’s astonishingly successful work on the Vast Heaven Sect’s Spirit Gathering Formations left Chu Xinghe defeated and Clan Head Ning convinced that Clan Head Cui had deceived him about Xuanwu’s bad luck. That night, Clan Head Cui decided the clan’s luck had only been suppressed inside the sect, and the Cui Clan prepared to meddle with the work again.

• The Cui Clan completed nearly a hundred Spirit Gathering Formations on the first day, far exceeding White Tiger’s expectations and leaving the Vast Heaven Sect delighted.
• Clan Head Ning watched the Cui Clan work and concluded that Clan Head Cui had pretended to suffer bad luck to trick the Ning Clan into discarding the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman.
• White Tiger struggled to keep pace with the Cui Clan and asked Mu Bai for pills to replenish his Spiritual Qi.
• Chu Xinghe admitted that the costly plan to reforge the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual roots had satisfied him, and resolved to cooperate and maximize the formations’ success rate.
• Clan Head Cui told the gathered Cui clansmen that heaven’s protection of the Vast Heaven Sect had temporarily suppressed their bad luck, then urged them to add a little something to their work and triumph over heaven.

Clan Head Cui tried to sabotage the Vast Heaven Sect’s Spirit Gathering Formations, but every formation he worked on succeeded, leaving him and Elder He baffled. As construction continued, Chu Xinghe concluded that the Vast Heaven Sect had already spent its resources and that nothing could change the outcome.

• Clan Head Cui prepared the Cui Clan to tamper with the Spirit Gathering Formations without being detected, while crowds gathered to see whether the Vast Heaven Sect could create the Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin phenomenon.
• Elder He warned the grand elder that the Cui Clan seemed intent on sabotage, but Gu Mingchao told him to wait and judge the clan by its actions.
• Clan Head Cui made an unusually unrestrained move, yet the Spirit Gathering Formation succeeded, easing White Tiger’s suspicions and leaving Elder He confused.
• Gu Mingchao defended the Cui Clan, and Clan Head Cui continued working as one Spirit Gathering Formation after another succeeded despite apparent errors in his technique.
• White Tiger wondered whether the Cui Clan’s Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art had reached an extraordinary level, while Chu Xinghe decided to stop worrying because the resources had already been spent.

The Cui Clan successfully built all 10,088 Spirit Gathering Formations while accidentally comprehending increasingly powerful spirit-drawing techniques, leaving the Vast Heaven Sect ready to reshape the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual roots. With the result uncertain, the sect chose Chu Xinghe to connect the formations and initiate the final step, and he accepted, convinced he could benefit whether it succeeded or failed.

• Clan Head Cui and Cui Wuming repeatedly built successful Spirit Gathering Formations despite using increasingly improvised techniques, and Cui Wuming passively comprehended new spirit-drawing methods.
• The Cui Clan completed all 10,088 Spirit Gathering Formations in just over a month, earning widespread acclaim for its comprehension and skill.
• The Vast Heaven Sect gathered its disciples and influential figures from the three continents to witness the attempt to reshape the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual roots.
• White Tiger warned Gu Mingchao and the others that the formations might produce Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin, but the outcome still depended on uncertain factors.
• The sect leaders chose Chu Xinghe to connect the formations and begin the final step, and he agreed, believing either outcome would benefit him.

The Vast Heaven Sect activated its Heaven-Defying Spirit Gathering Grand Formation to reforge the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual root, with Chu Xinghe placing the final spirit stone. A Heavenly Horse Passing Through phenomenon appeared, confirming the sect’s success in defying the Heavenly Dao and leaving its path toward becoming a holy land open.

• Crowds gathered around the Vast Heaven Sect as the sect announced that Chu Xinghe would activate the final Spirit Gathering Formation, prompting debate and renewed hope in his legendary fortune.
• Gu Mingchao and the elders prepared for the ceremony, settling on a distinctive black-and-gold star-patterned robe for Chu Xinghe after disagreeing over what he should wear.
• Gu Mingchao led the sect in paying respects to its ancestors, then Chu Xinghe placed the final spirit stone in the formation.
• The 10,088 Spirit Gathering Formations joined into the Heaven-Defying Spirit Gathering Grand Formation, drawing Spiritual Qi into the Haotian Mountain Range and reforging its spiritual root.
• A winged white horse raced around the pillar of light, and witnesses recognized Heavenly Horse Passing Through as proof that the Vast Heaven Sect had succeeded.

The Vast Heaven Sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation transformed the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual roots, causing a phenomenon to rise through five grades and turning the whole range into a blessed paradise. The fifth-grade phenomenon brought abundant Spiritual Qi and breakthroughs, while the sect’s people wondered whether they could reach the ninth grade and become a holy land.

• The Heavenly Horse Passing Through appeared over the Haotian Mountain Range, showing that the Vast Heaven Sect’s plan had begun to succeed.
• The phenomenon transformed into the Black Tiger Howling at the Heavens, then the Spirit Crane Aloft, and finally Renewal of All Things as the formation continued gathering power.
• Empress Ji Ya watched from Haotian Palace and considered whether the Vast Heaven Sect could raise the phenomenon to the ninth grade, Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin.
• Ten Thousand Flowers Vying to Sing appeared as the fifth-grade phenomenon, spreading dense Spiritual Qi across the entire Haotian Mountain Range and helping people break through.
• Gu Mingchao led the Vast Heaven Sect in shouting, “Heaven bless Vast Heaven!” while Chu Cheng, wrapped in Spirit Pattern Cloth bandages, vowed to make Chu Xinghe pay and stew the little white dog.

The Vast Heaven Sect’s Spirit Gathering Formation transformed the Haotian Mountain Range’s spirit fields into increasingly powerful phenomena, reaching the eighth-tier Realm of Supreme Yang. As its pillar of light began to dim, the sect’s members waited to see what would happen next.

• The Spirit Gathering Sacred Spring spread across the Haotian Mountain Range, and its water made the ground sparkle with starlight.
• Elder He explained that the spring became unusually powerful because it flowed over spirit fields covering the entire mountain range.
• The starlight rose and turned into purple mist, creating the seventh-tier phenomenon Purple Rhyme Giving Rise to Spirits across the Haotian Mountain Range.
• Chu Xinghe and the Vast Heaven Sect’s members took pride in their collective effort as the formation drew the purple resonance into its vortex.
• The vortex turned fiery red and produced the eighth-tier Realm of Supreme Yang, but the Spirit Gathering Formation’s pillar of light began to dim.

The Vast Heaven Sect poured all its remaining resources into the Spirit Gathering Formation, raising the Realm of Supreme Yang to the Supreme Realm of Extreme Yang. When the Heavenly Dao cut off the formation’s access to spiritual power, Gu Mingchao ordered the sect to continue and challenge it.

• White Tiger urged Gu Mingchao and the elders to make one final attempt by using all the sect’s resources.
• Gu Mingchao ordered the Vast Heaven Sect to commit everything to the Spirit Gathering Formation, and disciples and allied clans contributed their resources.
• White Tiger directed the formation as it absorbed the offerings and restored its fading pillar of light.
• The red sun turned gold, marking the Supreme Realm of Extreme Yang and doubling the Vast Heaven Sect’s Spiritual Qi.
• The Heavenly Dao blocked the formation from drawing spiritual power from the three continents.
• Gu Mingchao ordered everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect to continue despite the Heavenly Dao’s interference.

Gu Mingchao led the Vast Heaven Sect in pouring all its resources into the Spirit Gathering Formation to break the Heavenly Dao’s blockade and enter the holy land, but the barrier held. Just as Gu Mingchao nearly gave up, Chu Xinghe rallied the sect and cast its final Nine-Colored Spirit Stone into the formation.

• Gu Mingchao ordered the Vast Heaven Sect to commit its resources to the Spirit Gathering Formation and challenge the Heavenly Dao’s barrier.
• Feng Fei, the palace leaders, Ma Liang, Liu Bo, Qin Xiangqian, and the rest of the sect contributed their resources, but the barrier remained unbroken.
• Gu Mingchao fed the sect’s dwindling spirit stones into the formation until only one Nine-Colored Spirit Stone remained, then hesitated as hope faded.
• Chu Xinghe took the final stone and shouted, “Heaven blesses Vast Heaven,” prompting the sect to echo his cry.
• Chu Xinghe cast the last Nine-Colored Spirit Stone into the Spirit Gathering Formation and prayed for heaven to bless Vast Heaven.

Chu Xinghe sacrificed the final Nine-Colored Spirit Stone, and the Misfortune Compass’s power helped the Vast Heaven Sect shatter the Heavenly Dao’s seal and become a holy land. Just as Chu Xinghe celebrated the sect’s success and depleted resources, the Ancient Divine Domain appeared and transformed the ninth-tier phenomenon into the tenth-tier Vast Heaven Limitless Realm.

• Chu Xinghe chose to use the final Nine-Colored Spirit Stone to help the Vast Heaven Sect, despite hoping the sect’s losses would make him stronger.
• The Misfortune Compass sent power into the Spirit Gathering Formation, which shattered the Heavenly Dao’s seal over the Haotian Mountain Range.
• Five dragons of spiritual energy converged at Haotian Palace, establishing the Vast Heaven Holy Land and producing the ninth-tier Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin phenomenon.
• Chu Xinghe celebrated the sect’s breakthrough and spent resources, but a golden scroll appeared above the sect and announced the Beast God’s second surprise.
• The Ancient Divine Domain opened as a real world for the Vast Heaven Sect and absorbed the azure dragon pillar, joining yin and yang to create the tenth-tier Vast Heaven Limitless Realm.

The Vast Heaven Sect became the world's first holy land with a tenth-grade phenomenon after the repaired Ancient Divine Domain merged with its mountain range. As the sect entered its new domain, Chu Xinghe received a cultivation breakthrough from the Misfortune Compass, then heard Ma Liang discover a trove of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones.

• The Ancient Divine Domain fused with Five Aspects Paying Homage to the Origin, creating the Vast Heaven Limitless Realm and connecting the domain to the Haotian Mountain Range.
• Cheng Xiaotian and others congratulated the Vast Heaven Sect as it became the Vast Heaven Holy Land, with Gu Mingchao recognized as its Holy Land Supreme.
• Gu Mingchao led the assembled disciples and guests into the newly named Vast Heaven Divine Domain, where they found a night sky and Spiritual Qi ten times denser than outside.
• Chu Xinghe's Misfortune Compass counted the sect's rise out of its status as the world's number one sect as task completion and raised him into the ninth rank, though not to Peak Martial Emperor.
• Ma Liang cried out after discovering that the stones in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain were Nine-Colored Spirit Stones.

The Vast Heaven Sect discovered that the Ancient Divine Domain had become a vast deposit of regenerating Nine-Colored Spirit Stones, undoing the losses from its recent spending. Chu Xinghe despaired over the sect’s unexpected riches while the Civil Engineering Department disciples mourned the loss of their hoped-for year off.

• Ma Liang uncovered Nine-Colored Spirit Stones beneath the ground, and the factions realized the Ancient Divine Domain was made of them.
• The Great Sage explained that the Ancient Scroll had shrunk, causing spiritual power to condense into the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones.
• The Great Sage warned that excessive mining would damage the domain, but said half could be mined at a time and the stones would regenerate in a little over ten years.
• Chu Xinghe lamented that the sect’s spending had been more than repaid, while Ma Liang and the others celebrated the renewable resource.
• Nangong Yan and Everlasting Spring Palace disciples came to help the dazed Civil Engineering Department disciples, including Huang Ritian, who had collapsed after losing hope of their year off.

After the Vast Heaven Sect gained the Vast Heaven Divine Domain and its vast stores of regenerating Nine-Colored Spirit Stone, the sect announced a Sacred Ascension Ceremony to formally become the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Chu Xinghe planned to use the ceremony to spend sect resources and recover some health, while the workers faced overwhelming new workloads.

• The Grand Elder told Huang Ritian that the Civil Engineering Department could stop building treasure vaults, then assigned them to construct buildings in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain.
• The mining disciples and Civil Engineering Department disciples recognized that both groups were facing exhausting work, as the miners had to extract a Haotian Mountain Range of regenerating Nine-Colored Spirit Stone before it was wasted.
• Gu Mingchao toured the Vast Heaven Divine Domain with leaders of many forces, and the Vast Heaven Sect declared that it would hold a Sacred Ascension Ceremony in ten days to become the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Elder He and the Great Sage arranged the ceremony, and leaders of forces across the world prepared to return for it without waiting for invitations.
• Chu Xinghe decided against giving guests gifts, then resolved to spend a huge amount of sect resources during the ceremony to recover his health.

After the Vast Heaven Sect became the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Haotian City filled with aspiring disciples and powerful factions seeking land. Desperate to spend the sect’s replenished resources, Chu Xinghe announced free access to the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele and invited everyone in the Three Continents to come comprehend the Dao.

• News of the Vast Heaven Limitless Realm and the Vast Heaven Sect’s rise to holy land status spread throughout the Three Continents.
• Aspiring disciples gathered in Haotian City hoping Chu Xinghe would assess them, while factions competed to buy its scarce land.
• Chu Xinghe volunteered to manage the ascension ceremony’s logistics, hoping to use up the sect’s resources on hospitality.
• Ma Liang told Chu Xinghe that opening the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to the public would consume spirit stones to maintain its spiritual charm.
• Chu Xinghe made Dao comprehension with the stele free, had a plaza built to hold a million people, and announced the opportunity across the world.

Chu Xinghe’s decision to let everyone use the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele silenced criticism that the Vast Heaven Sect failed to bless the people. He proposed more costly ways to support the sect’s upcoming holy-land ceremony, and the elders approved them because they trusted his backup plans.

• The Grand Elder and the Great Sage had held off on punishing the sect’s critics until after the holy-land ceremony.
• News spread that Chu Xinghe had opened the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to everyone in the Three Continents, with the Vast Heaven Sect covering the costs.
• The Grand Elder praised Chu Xinghe for quieting the critics, while Elder He insisted that he must have a backup plan.
• Chu Xinghe claimed he had one and proposed a massive customer-appreciation sale across the sect’s businesses, along with performances by Bai Jingyan to aid Dao comprehension.
• The elders recalled that Chu Xinghe’s earlier plans had earned the sect enormous resources, and the Grand Elder approved his new proposals.

Chu Xinghe ordered a seventy-percent sale across the Vast Heaven Sect’s businesses to ensure the sect truly lost money while earning a reputation for generosity. The sale drew crowds across the Three Continents, but spirit beasts and pills still turned profits, leaving the extent of the sect’s losses uncertain.

• Chu Xinghe rejected the stewards’ concerns about a fifty-percent discount and raised the sale to seventy percent off.
• Qin Xiangqian backed Chu Xinghe, and the stewards reluctantly agreed to carry out the order.
• The seventy-percent sale spread across the Three Continents, and customers found genuine discounts on every item with no purchase limits.
• The Vast Heaven Sect’s businesses suffered losses on spirit weapons and mined resources, while Wei Buhui’s spirit beasts still made a small profit.
• Mu Xiaoqi’s instruction and encouragement pushed the Muyue Kingdom disciples to improve their pill refining, allowing the sect to profit nearly one hundred percent on discounted pills.

The Vast Heaven Sect’s seventy-percent discount campaign unexpectedly made a fortune, as customers bought up pills and Spirit Pattern Cloth. Chu Xinghe remained convinced the campaign had failed to lose money and pinned his hopes on offering free access to the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to turn the losses around.

• Mu Xiaoqi’s self-directed teaching had helped Muyue Kingdom disciples improve pill-making until the Vast Heaven Sect could sell high-grade pills at a huge profit, even at thirty percent of their regular price.
• Rogue Cultivators and other customers rushed to buy discounted Spirit Pattern Cloth, clearing Vast Heaven Weaving’s stock and generating enough revenue to cover the campaign’s losses and exceed its annual sales target.
• Qin Xiangqian and the managers praised Chu Xinghe’s business sense, and Ma Liang delivered the financial reports to the grand elder, who celebrated the sect’s profits and reputation.
• Ma Liang interpreted Chu Xinghe’s calm response to the reports as proof that he had planned the outcome, while Chu Xinghe privately cursed that the discount had failed to lose money.
• Chu Xinghe decided against selling high-grade Spirit Pattern Cloth and instead planned to make the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele completely free, hoping the project would finally cost him a fortune.

Chu Xinghe opened the Extreme Realm Dao Field and made comprehension of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele permanently free, forcing the Vast Heaven Sect to replenish all resources it consumed. As crowds began using the stele, the Misfortune Compass finally turned forward, convincing Chu Xinghe that his plan was working.

• Chu Xinghe opened the Extreme Realm Dao Field to everyone who wanted to comprehend the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele.
• Ma Liang asked whether the Vast Heaven Sect would sell tickets or charge successful cultivators, and Chu Xinghe forbade all fees and paid services.
• Ma Liang announced that entry and comprehension were entirely free, and the Vast Heaven Sect would accept no payment or gifts.
• People across the Three Continents suspected Chu Xinghe was sabotaging the Vast Heaven Sect, but waited to see whether his plan would prove profitable.
• Crowds entered the Dao field and used the stele, while the Vast Heaven Sect replenished the resources it consumed.
• Chu Xinghe saw the Misfortune Compass turn forward and concluded that the plan had no flaw.

Chu Xinghe opened the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to everyone, and its first day of use brought breakthroughs and insights to countless visitors. Convinced the project would lose money, he entrusted it to Huang Ritian and the Civil Engineering Department, who immediately increased its resource consumption.

• Chu Xinghe opened the Extreme Realm Dao Field without conditions, and crowds from across the Three Continents entered to comprehend the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele.
• Zheng Yu broke through from Eighth Rank to Ninth Rank and deepened his understanding of his Seven-Colored Glazed Body during the first day.
• Chu Xinghe saw the long queue for another visit and rejoiced that more people meant more resources would be consumed.
• Chu Xinghe rejected Ma Liang and Mu Xiaoqi as managers, then decided the Civil Engineering Department was the safest choice.
• Huang Ritian accepted management of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele and ordered the Civil Engineering Department disciples to use Nine-Colored Spirit Stones instead of ordinary ones.

Huang Ritian and the Civil Engineering Department transformed the Extreme Realm Dao Field with extravagant upgrades and gifts, baffling visitors and prompting rumors that the sect was setting a trap. Their generosity gave many Rogue Cultivators a chance to comprehend the Dao and earned the Vast Heaven Sect their gratitude, while the Grand Elder praised Huang Ritian’s approach as reminiscent of Chu Xinghe’s style.

• Huang Ritian ordered ninth-rank spirit stones used at the Extreme Realm Dao Field, and the Civil Engineering Department disciples proposed further ways to use up resources.
• The disciples temporarily barred the third group of Dao seekers and, within six hours, paved the field with two layers of nine-colored spirit stone; Huang Ritian defeated the man who had demanded a duel.
• The disciples warned visitors not to steal more than fifty stones, leading outsiders to suspect the warnings concealed a trap, while the Dao seekers proved too frightened to steal anything.
• The Civil Engineering Department began giving valuable gifts to people who comprehended the Dao, and Rogue Cultivators pledged to repay the Vast Heaven Sect for its help.
• The Grand Elder praised Huang Ritian, saying his resource-consuming schemes were reminiscent of Chu Xinghe’s style.
