Xu Fan ordered the Hidden Spirit Sect and Elder Council to respond to the Demon Race invasion in Wansen Kingdom, while Grape's plan removed every invading Demon Race member at Integration Stage or above. Ghost Wolf forces poured through a teleportation gate and attacked the grasslands, but Puppets began evacuating mortals and building a defense line near Sheep Selling Town.

• At Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Yuexian heard from Li Xingci that Xu Fan had removed the side effects of his Divine Ability, and the group discussed Xu Fan’s expected Golden Core Stage breakthrough.

After the Demon Race invasion ended, Xu Gang and the other three disciples sparred in the Trial Tower, where they defeated him by exploiting his desire to save Xu Fan. Celestial phenomena then filled the sky above Hidden Spirit Island, and their powerful pill fragrance caused many disciples to advance unexpectedly.

• A Light Screen showed the four disciples how the Demon Race invasion had ended, and Xu Gang suggested he would win if they sparred.
• Xu Yuexian, Wang Xiangchi, and Li Xingci entered the Virtual Arena with Xu Gang, but his lava-filled battlefield and hidden true body made him difficult to find.
• Xu Yuexian revealed that Xu Gang dreamed of turning the tide and saving Xu Fan, so Li Xingci used that desire to create a false invasion that drew Xu Gang out of hiding.
• Xu Yuexian and Wang Xiangchi struck Xu Gang and won the match, after which the disciples discussed how their strengths changed between the early and later stages.
• Celestial phenomena appeared above Hidden Spirit Island, and the pill fragrance sent many disciples into higher realms, leaving the others afraid to cultivate.

Xu Fan completed his breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage after nine days of astonishing celestial phenomena, then celebrated with a brief spell of leisure. He set puppets after the cultivator who ambushed Xu Yuexian and planned major sect upgrades, but spotted three approaching streaks of light and saw a chance to earn Spirit Stones.

• Grape sealed Xu Fan’s breakthrough phenomena, which lasted nine days before a radiant Golden Core appeared and descended into the Time Cabin.
• Xu Fan emerged at the Golden Core Stage, received the disciples’ and auspicious beasts’ congratulations, and ordered his six disciples to remain in the sect while he revised their cultivation methods and abilities.
• After stabilizing his cultivation, Xu Fan spent three months fishing, then learned from his clone that six enhanced Spirit Transformation Stage Puppets were ready.
• Xu Fan ordered Grape to send the puppets to kill or capture the cultivator who had ambushed Xu Yuexian in Nine Crimson Immortal City.
• Xu Fan outlined plans to upgrade Grape, create Dao Artifact-level space weapons, and improve the sect, then spotted three streaks of light and thought of a way to make money.

Xu Fan and Clone Number One completed Grape’s upgrade into a Dao Artifact, triggering a powerful omen that advanced Xu Fan to the Golden Core Middle Stage. Grape gained vastly improved abilities, and Xu Fan began asking for its status.

• Grape’s body turned deep azure blue, and it reported that its computing power had increased 213 times.

Xu Fan prepared to intercept a Demon Race invasion, but kept one teleportation array disk intact so he could raid the Demon World for resources. As the Thick Armored Honey Badger Clan prepared to enter the Human World, an Elder Council sword cultivator warned Xu Fan that the Demon Race had already destroyed six Mortal Kingdoms in the Linsen Immortal City Area.

• Xu Fan learned that Grape could create two powerful sub-body incarnations and began planning expeditions to the Endless Sea and Demon World.

• Xu Fan froze a hundred-li stretch of lake and arranged his forces as an Integration Stage sword cultivator arrived and revealed the Demon Race had destroyed six Mortal Kingdoms.

Xu Fan and the Hidden Spirit Sect lured the Thick-Armored Honey Badger clan through a Teleportation Gate, planning to capture demons and seize its array plates. As the middle-aged sword-carrying cultivator fought the clan leader, his rebounded sword strike tore open the Puppet defensive line, giving the leader an opportunity to advance.

• A Nascent Soul Stage Thick-Armored Honey Badger charged the Puppet formation instead of assembling its Teleportation Gate, and the middle-aged sword-carrying cultivator explained the clan's battle-maddened bloodline flaw.
• Xu Fan ordered Li Xingci to use an Ethereal Projection to make the honey badger return and assemble the Teleportation Gate, allowing tens of thousands of clan members to enter.
• Li Xingci reported that the clan had only three Integration Stage cultivators and fewer than two hundred Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, and Xu Fan ordered the sect to carry out its plan and select ten demons when they retreated.
• The middle-aged sword-carrying cultivator charged the clan leader while Xu Fan's side contained the other demons, and the clan leader's attack was halted by the cultivator's sword strike.
• The clan leader's heavy armor rebounded the cultivator's Dao Artifact sword strike, tearing a huge breach in the Puppet defensive line and giving the clan leader a chance to advance.

The middle-aged cultivator and a Flame-Bathed woman attacked the Thick-Armored Honey Badgers as they tried to escape through the breach, while Xu Fan tracked fleeing clan members with Grape. The Clan Leader ordered a retreat, and the cultivators chose to prioritize obtaining the Demon Race Array Plates rather than forcing him to destroy them.

• The middle-aged cultivator struck the Thick-Armored Honey Badger Clan Leader with a powerful sword attack, while thousands of clan members escaped through the breach and fled using random Talismanic Spells.
• Xu Fan told Grape to pursue and capture alive the thirty marked Thick-Armored Honey Badgers, and Grape reported that it had dispatched Puppets to track them.

• The Clan Leader ordered his clansmen to retreat and stayed behind to cover their escape.
• The Flame-Bathed woman suggested having a Venerable capture the oversized Thick-Armored Honey Badger, but the middle-aged cultivator said the Demon Race Array Plates mattered more and they should leave the Clan Leader hope of escape.

Xu Fan’s Hidden Spirit Sect helped repel the Thick-Armored Honey Badger invasion, then negotiated a lucrative contract to monitor Linsen Immortal City with Sky Patrol Guards. The chapter ended with a red-robed Integration Stage cultivator showing interest in Li Xingci.

• The Thick-Armored Honey Badger clan leader ended his clan’s berserk state and led its members in a retreat while Xu Fan’s Puppets held back and secretly delivered Spatial Rings to Honey Badgers under Li Xingci’s control.
• The red-robed Integration Stage cultivator offered the Thick-Armored Honey Badgers a place under human rule, but their clan leader refused and tried to destroy the Teleportation Gate before a crimson barrier stopped him.

• Xu Fan offered to repair and upgrade the sword for free, then corrected the middle-aged cultivator’s recollection of their Sky Patrol Guard price from 50 million to 60 million Spirit Stones per unit.

Xu Fan learned that Su Rantian’s Dao of Love and Desire might involve his disciple Li Xingci, and heard of her tragic past and immense wealth. After Li Xingci completed a residence design for Su Rantian, he gave Xu Fan his lavish payment and said he would accept being sold for a high price if his master wished.

Grape developed Spirit Iron Alloy that cut the cost of the Space-Based Weapon Satellite Production Line, then proposed heavy armor puppets that made Xu Fan consider selling Xingci.
