• Qin Yan and Chen Chi reacted with interest to the rumor that the grotto-heaven might have been created by a Xiantian being.

• Qin Yan rejected the cultivator surnamed Qi’s offer to join forces, withdrew far away, and decided to observe the Mahayana experts.

• Xue Ruochen revealed that he had survived his self-destruction, taken over a Xiantian lifeform's body, and returned to avenge himself on Li Yuanzong and the others.

• Yuchen Divine Lord, the cultivator surnamed Qi, and the surviving experts burned their essence blood and lifespans to flee, while Xue Ruochen stayed behind and watched Qin Yan.
• Xue Ruochen sensed that Qin Yan was exceptionally dangerous and asked him who he was.

Qin Yan entered seclusion on an immortal mountain to study Xue Ruochen’s universe cultivation system, but discovered its method had been sabotaged and devised three systems of his own. After expanding his Myriad Heavens Universe Within the Body with Immortal Spirit Crystals, he tested its immense power and gained new forms of protection and resurrection.

• Qin Yan settled on an immortal mountain in the central continent of the Wangsu Immortal Dynasty and gave Chen Chi formation flags to protect it while he cultivated.
• Qin Yan used an avatar to test the Void Universe Stone method and watched its internal space grow toward a universe before it collapsed into a black hole because the cultivation method had been tampered with.

• Qin Yan absorbed Immortal Spirit Crystals, expanding his myriad-heavens universe to ninety-one million light-years across and cultivating Universe Projection, which let him suppress enemies and resurrect as long as his universe endured.

Qin Yan’s attempt to cultivate his three universes caused a catastrophe in the Wangsu Immortal Dynasty, and the universe’s laws expelled him into the chaotic space beyond the Huangkun Great Universe. He spent 150 years absorbing chaos energy and strengthening his universes, leaving him at the normal level of an Immortal Dao Domain expert.
