Liu Yun and Lian Luan discovered that Jade White Fish triggered Lian Luan’s breakthrough beyond the Dou Emperor Realm, then traced the fish’s power to a waterfall cave. There, Liu Yun uncovered a lotus that became ten attendants, who greeted him as Master Qing Xuan.

• Liu Yun and Lian Luan ate Jade White Fish, and Lian Luan underwent a month-long breakthrough that transformed her appearance and raised her cultivation beyond the Dou Emperor Realm.

A white-haired old man warned him that the Heavenly Lord War was about to begin and that he had to obtain the Hall Master Fruit Position.

• Liu Yun and Heng Xuan were swept into a crimson space, where phantom Nether Souls gave them memories revealing that the space projected the Two-Clan Battlefield and that the war had been fought over the Foot of Heng Chuan.

• A white-haired old man told Liu Yun that the Heavenly Lord War was about to begin and that he had to obtain the Hall Master Fruit Position.

After becoming Hall Master, Liu Yun reunited with Heng Xuan, Lian Luan, and the Four Absolutes, then spent years with them before strange portals opened at the Foot of Heng Chuan.
