Chu Xinghe’s Vast Heaven Sect dominated the Spirit Beast Grand Prix, then defeated the Soul Devourers after the Beast God emerged from his talisman. The Grand Prix ended with Martial Emperor City conceding, while the Dark Moon Clan’s repeated killings of Zhu Peng unleashed a deadly curse that turned on the clan.
Chu Xinghe was swept onto the Demon Star Continent, where the Fox Clan mistook him for a prophet and the Snake Spirit Clan reunited him with the Vast Heaven Sect. As he built ties with the Fox Clan and its allies, the Divine Wood Dragon Cauldron chose him and passed on its Voodoo Art inheritance.
Chu Xinghe reclaimed Divine Fox Ridge for the Fox Clan, then his work for the Demon Race brought both spectacular misfortunes and a reputation for powerful divination. After he helped the Divine Wood Clan transform its spirit-herb cultivation, a fire destroyed its fields, and the clan blamed the Bear Clan for supplying the tainted stones.
Chu Xinghe saved Ming Han from Ghost Valley, then watched him reclaim the Wolf Clan under the Beast God’s power. When the Demon Race struggled to repair the Two Continents Passage, Chu Xinghe’s Star Divination Art proved able to read and disrupt formations, giving the repair effort new hope.
Chu Xinghe and the Vast Heaven Sect exploit the Demon Race’s failed efforts to repair the passage, then stop the Demon God Avatar from invading the Blazing Sun Continent. After the Demon Star Continent joins the Blazing Sun Continent, Chu Xinghe returns to the sect as the Demon clans begin aligning themselves with it.
Chu Xinghe helped the Divine Wood Clan restore its ruined spirit fields, bringing it into the Vast Heaven Sect and leading to a free cultivation offer that drew pledges from rival factions. As he tried to make Divine Fox Ridge’s development fail, Wang Tieniu discovered blood spirit stones there, while Yuan Ying’s unintended gift left the sect prospering and Chu Xinghe’s cultivation rising.
Chu Xinghe tried to turn the Fox Clan’s mining and charm breakthroughs, the Demonic Sect’s schemes, and Ghost Valley’s failing seal into opportunities to waste resources. The arc left him with White Tiger’s agreement to restore Ghost Valley’s formation after he presented the Beast God’s command.
Chu Xinghe’s efforts to repair Ghost Valley, honor Hu Wenhai’s family, and support humble disciples strengthened the Vast Heaven Sect while repeatedly producing unexpected gains. The arc ends with his poison pills becoming a major trade success and Martial Emperor City regretting that it ignored Zheng Yu’s advice.
Chu Xinghe rescued the trapped prodigies from the ruins, gained the Azure Shadow Flame, and helped Gu Mingchao destroy the sealed evil presence. Later, Ma Liang reunited with his aunt and helped the Bai Clan secure a partnership with the Vast Heaven Sect, while Chu Xinghe’s demand to root out wrongdoing triggered investigations across the sects.
Chu Xinghe turned Vast Heaven’s Good Voice into a spectacle of open favoritism, then Bai Jingyan’s performance revealed the Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound and brought enlightenment to listeners across two continents. The show left Chu Xinghe’s cultivation intact and the crowds celebrating, while a pointed-eared man from the Spirit Beast Continent began investigating.
Chu Xinghe’s recruitment of the Shadow Rat brothers unexpectedly turned them into a source of wealth for the Vast Heaven Sect, while Hua Xizhong’s reconnaissance revealed the sect’s strength and led the Spirit Beast Continent toward cooperation. The Spirit Communication Pagoda opened, and the first contest began with Hua Xichen’s predictions repeatedly warning of defeat.
Chu Xinghe led the Blazing Sun Continent through the pagoda’s contests, lost Ji Moran and brought him back to life, then avenged him in the Vengeful Spirit Forbidden Domain. As the sixth-floor contest ended with Cui Wuming comprehending the stele and Shu Da recreating much of it, Chu Xinghe’s Misfortune Compass stopped turning backward without restoring his fortune.
The Spirit Communication Pagoda’s destruction reunited the three continents and transformed Gu Mingchao, while Tantai Jing dismantled the Spirit Beast Continent’s Demonic Sect through violence, deception, and alliances. The arc ended with Empress Ji Ya visiting the Vast Heaven Sect and mistaking Gu Mingchao’s gray roof tiles for profound Dao Porcelain.
Chu Xinghe turned the Vast Heaven Sect’s price war and Ancient Spirit Temple ticket plan into opportunities to lose resources while helping the sect and smaller factions. As the temple opened with costs ten times higher than usual, White Tiger’s formation work unexpectedly began restoring his remnant soul.
Chu Xinghe's attempts to spend resources failed when the Four Sacred Beasts granted universal temple access and ticket buyers refused refunds. Inside the Ancient Divine Domain, his companions amassed resources and secret arts despite the Beast God's interference, while Hua Xichen reached the Beast God Hall and received a warning to retreat.
Chu Xinghe helped defeat the Beast God Heart Demon and returned with the Beast God’s Heart and Beast Taming Arts. Later, he guided Feng Yuzheng’s mine-seeking efforts, protecting him from the danger of his Spirit Shepherd power while the Cui and Ning Clans pursued their own plans.
The Vast Heaven Sect reforged the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual root and became a holy land, gaining the Vast Heaven Limitless Realm and its renewable Nine-Colored Spirit Stones. Chu Xinghe then tried to spend the sect’s wealth on a free Dao field and lavish hospitality, but the Civil Engineering Department’s schemes won the Dao seekers’ gratitude instead.
Chu Xinghe and the Civil Engineering Department restore the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, whose illusion realm becomes a public challenge that brings Vast Heaven Sect prestige and resources. After the sect rises as Vast Heaven Holy Land and Chu Cheng becomes Holy Son, Chu Xinghe sets out to recruit seven thousand cultivators without talent or spiritual power.
Chu Xinghe recruited seven thousand Spiritless Physiques and introduced a safe body-cultivation path that spread across the Three Continents. As the disciples’ breakthroughs and visualization arts surpassed his expectations, Peng Zhan challenged Chu Xinghe’s phantom again and was defeated.
Chu Xinghe agreed to help Hua Xichen recover the Great Prophecy Art and protected him from assassins, prompting the Vast Heaven Holy Land to punish those responsible. They reached the world of the Well of Prophecy but faced a road that seemingly required the very art Hua Xichen had lost.
