Chu Xinghe helped Hua Xichen escape the Well of Prophecy’s nightmare, then claimed the well and brought its water to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. As the sect grew richer, he moved the Four Sacred Beasts’ formation there to save them, and the Well Spirits revealed they could heal their damaged souls.
The Four Sacred Beasts’ attempts to help the Vast Heaven Holy Land produced new enterprises, from Azure Dragon’s resource-preserving vaults to Vermilion Bird’s flame-effect clothing. Xuanwu and Wei Buhui eventually transformed spirit beasts into Qi and Blood Furnaces, allowing Body Cultivators to advance beyond the Fifth Rank as the Spirit Beast Department prepared to sell them.
Chu Xinghe stopped Xie Yue from opening a passage to the Evil Shadow Continent and captured the Evil God’s Spirit Eye, which She Meng bound and used to strengthen the Holy Land’s allies. Zang Ling’s attempt to enslave body cultivators in Bin City instead helped them, and Yuan Ying set out to find whoever had caused the incident and clear his name.
Yuan Ying captured Zang Ling and cleared his name only to be celebrated as Chu Xinghe’s devoted supporter, while Zang Ling’s work enriched the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Meng You then trapped people across the Three Continents in his Nightmare Realm, and the arc ended with Meng You discovering that he had been caught in someone else’s dream.
The Nightmare Realm collapsed, and the Three Continents credited Chu Xinghe with foreseeing the Nightmare Evil Lord’s death even as he struggled to understand what had happened. The Evil Lords sent An Ying to steal a relic, while the Vast Heaven Holy Land uncovered a trove of resources and a powerful inheritance.
An Ying infiltrated the Vast Heaven Holy Land to steal the Evil God Relics, but the Dark Moon Clan’s games, missed opportunities, and Zang Ling’s loyalty repeatedly thwarted him. Meanwhile, Feng Yuqing became Wuj iang’s future leader and the Holy Land gained a closer alliance with Wuj iang, before An Ying’s disguise was exposed.
After losing the Hand of the Evil God, An Ying tried to damage the Vast Heaven Holy Land by impersonating its people, but his schemes repeatedly helped those he meant to harm. The arc ended with the Holy Land realizing that An Ying had posed as Ouyang Ling to cure Yuyang Kingdom’s plague.
An Ying’s schemes repeatedly fail, while the Evil Lords plot to send Wu Man into the Three Continents and Chu Xinghe turns the Haotian Mirror into a broadcast of his ordinary life. As Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya’s marriage alliance meets ominous prophecies, Chu Xinghe challenges Zhou Wencang’s prediction, and a black passage opens above the Zhou Clan.
Wu Man joined the Vast Heaven Holy Land and helped spread Haotian Mirror livestreaming across the Three Continents, while Chu Xinghe prepared Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya’s wedding. Ji Ya accepted the Beast God’s vast treasure trove as her dowry, and Chu Xinghe opened the wedding to millions of guests as Wu Man quietly tried to steer streamers into offering lavish gifts.
Chu Xinghe used Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya’s wedding to gather fortune and help Ji Ya break through, then intervened in Wuj iang’s crisis and put Wu Erke in charge. He left Wuj iang with vast resources and freedom to pursue his dangerous inventions as Vast Heaven Holy Land’s research base.
Chu Xinghe’s attempts to turn setbacks into gains transformed the Muyue Kingdom into a source of spirit medicine, while the evil lords used the linked progenitor puppets to drain the Ming Clan. The Ming Clan handed its failing Taiyin Progenitor Puppet to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and Chu Xinghe ended the stretch by ordering the Ming Clan to expand puppet sales at lower prices.
Chu Xinghe expanded puppet sales to increase the Holy Land’s losses, but the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet reversed its flow and began draining the Heavenly Secrets Evil Spirits Division instead. He then funded spirit-beast raising on Demon Star Continent despite the beasts’ deterioration, leaving the Wolf King to try Ma Liang’s suggestion of teaching them Demon Race secret arts.
Ma Liang and the Wolf King developed awakened spirit beasts into a new summoner cultivation path, overturning the Yun Clan’s monopoly despite Chu Xinghe’s hopes of losing resources. Chu Xinghe then expanded support for deceased disciples’ descendants and announced that eligible descendants would receive the Holy Land’s awakened spirit beasts for free.
Chu Xinghe drew the Wolf King into a risky attempt to inherit the Demon God's power while bringing Wu Erke and Ding Feng together to investigate their unusual abilities. Their experiments revealed a way to reset awakened spirit beasts and let them awaken again, leaving the Vast Heaven Holy Land with a new path to profit.
Chu Xinghe entered the Spirit-Forbidden Realm to rescue the Wolf King, where he defeated the Demon God's Resentment and escaped with the Wolf King's soul. The Wolf King became the new Demon God, while the Spine of the Evil God remained unusable without its missing primary body.
Chu Xinghe helped the Vast Heaven Holy Land defeat the Strength Barbarian Evil Lord by letting the Evil Lords retrieve the Spine of the Evil God, then gave the relic to the Grand Elder, who reached the Half-Step Main God realm. As the Ning Clan’s Land of Flames crisis deepened, Chu Xinghe agreed to help, expecting the expedition to consume resources without profit.
Chu Xinghe defeated the Flame Deity, gained a new Phoenix transformation, and helped the Ning Clan turn the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring into a valuable resource. As the Vast Heaven Holy Land celebrated the New Year, Chu Xinghe directed Zang Ling to siphon spirit treasures for the Evil Spirits until their swelling spiritual-power sphere ran out of control and returned to the Three Continents.
Chu Xinghe helped Ouyang Ming reach Mu Qingyan before the Mu Clan could force her to marry Master Yan Hua, and she left the clan to become Ouyang Qingyan. After Chu Xinghe restored her sight, Ouyang Qingyan revealed that she could repair the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s damaged spirit treasures.
Chu Xinghe entered the Four Continents Barrier to stop the Evil Spirits’ plan, but the Beast God’s intervention opened a breach and brought him back with the three Evil God Relics. Zang Ling joined the Vast Heaven Holy Land and discovered that his Heart-Devouring Power could clear waste spiritual energy, leading the sect to offer the service for free and share its resources with the Demonic Sect.
Zang Ling opened the Evil God's Scepter to the Three Continents, and Chu Xinghe won its inheritance after the Lord of Evil Spirits tested everyone’s greed. The inheritance spirit orb was given to Elder He, whose struggle against his Heart Demon left the Holy Land unable to intervene.
