Li Feiyu recovered from his depleted condition after the bronze furnace entered his body, then met its artifact spirit, who claimed to be an immortal artifact forged by Great Emperor Yu.

• Li Yu returned to the Eternal Immortal Estate and analyzed the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to derive the principles of this world's cultivation path.
• Li Yu realized cultivation refined qi through successive stages until it became Immortal Qi, then demonstrated the three streams of Immortal Qi he possessed.

Meanwhile, the True Spirit of Creation persuaded Li Feiyu that he could gain a spiritual root by killing a cultivator and using that person’s spiritual root as material.
