• Lin Xuan sensed that the disturbance came from deep within the Zhuiling Sect and decided to observe the situation before acting.

• Zhuiling Ancestor killed his prized disciple with a pillar of light and then attacked the sect cultivators gathered to welcome him.

After collecting the Zhuiling Sect’s treasures, Lin Xuan and Yue'er activated a formation to open the Space Node and traveled to the True Spirit Burial Ground. They arrived safely in a beautiful, spiritually rich realm and began considering how to search for the Earring.

• Lin Xuan searched the ruined Zhuiling Sect headquarters and gathered its treasures, including ancient texts that described the True Spirit Burial Ground and speculated about its entrance.

As Lin Xuan investigated the True Spirit Burial Ground’s unintelligent demons, a mighty roar drew him and Yue'er toward its source.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er crossed the Mysterious Space, gathered rare herbs, and found that even powerful Demon Race members could not transform or open their spiritual intelligence.
• Lin Xuan heard an earth-shaking roar and changed course with Yue'er to investigate its source.

Lin Xuan discovered a Mountain Giant Ape and a fire giant fighting in a magma lake, and he hid nearby to watch for an opportunity. The two titans traded powerful blows, but neither had gained the upper hand.

• Lin Xuan arrived at a magma lake and recognized one combatant as a Mountain Giant Ape while the other was a colossal being made entirely of fire.
• Lin Xuan sensed that the fire giant might help improve his Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire and that the ape could benefit his True Spirit Transformation Sword Art, but he decided not to intervene.
• Lin Xuan carefully released his divine sense as the Mountain Giant Ape roared and attacked the fire giant with an azure lightning-charged wave.
• The fire giant met the wave with a huge fireball, and their attacks collided in an explosion that devastated the surrounding peaks.
• The Mountain Giant Ape charged into close combat and punched through the fire giant's chest, but the fire giant showed no pain and counterattacked with a barrage of flaming punches.

Lin Xuan watched the Mountain Giant Ape and Flame Giant battle in the Magma Lake and discovered a mysterious stone cavern hidden beneath it. After the cavern’s protective force nearly swallowed his divine sense, he cut away a small portion to escape and considered whether its treasure could help him obtain the True Spirit Blood and flame essence.

• The Mountain Giant Ape wounded the Flame Giant with its cold powers and relentless punches, while the Flame Giant used the Magma Lake to replenish its strength.
• Lin Xuan searched for the reason behind the creatures’ battle and sensed a naturally formed cavern beneath the Magma Lake.
• The cavern’s strange protective force trapped Lin Xuan’s divine sense, so he used an Immortal Sword to sever the captured portion and escape serious harm.
• Lin Xuan told Yue'er he was fine and realized the cavern’s treasure might give him leverage in his plans to obtain True Spirit Blood and flame essence.

Lin Xuan waited until the Mountain Giant Ape defeated the Flame Giant, then seized the Natural Fire Spirit and lured the ape away. His External Incarnation returned to the Magma Lake to search for the treasure while Lin Xuan fled with the pursuing True Spirit behind him.

• Lin Xuan watched as the Mountain Giant Ape unleashed a golden vortex that destroyed the Flame Giant’s attacks and pierced it with golden spears.
• The Flame Giant fell into the Magma Lake, then exploded and released its golden Natural Fire Spirit.
• Lin Xuan struck with a cyan sword and captured the fleeing Natural Fire Spirit while the Mountain Giant Ape was briefly delayed.

Lin Xuan encountered two Ancient Spirit Race cultivators in the True Spirit Burial Ground and tested the white-clad woman’s strength with several attacks. The woman easily repelled his probing, confirming that she was far stronger than an ordinary cultivator of her rank.

• Lin Xuan sensed two hidden figures and exposed the white-clad woman and shadowy man, both at the Spirit Division level.

• Lin Xuan recognized that the woman’s strength matched or exceeded that of a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator.

• Lin Xuan decided he had to defeat the two Spirit Race cultivators quickly to keep his main body safe and pursue clues about the Asura Seven Treasures.

• Lin Xuan used the Giant Sword Technique and a Space-Splitting Slash to cut through the mountain and destroy the woman's defensive treasures.
• The black-robed man attacked Lin Xuan with two Ink Flood Dragons, but Yue'er emerged and bound them with the Mysterious Yin Treasure Box.
• Lin Xuan's Space-Splitting Slash killed the white-clothed woman, whose true body, a vase, shattered.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er defeated a Spirit Race woman, but the black-clad man escaped by faking his self-destruction and fleeing in his Bronze Bell true body. Lin Xuan then searched the Magma Lake for the treasure and found an ancient pool of extraordinarily old Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er attacked the black-clad man, who self-destructed a shell to cover his escape in a Bronze Bell.
• Lin Xuan failed to catch the fleeing Bronze Bell, and he and Yue'er decided to search for the treasure.
• Lin Xuan descended into the Magma Lake while Yue'er stayed behind to keep watch.
• Lin Xuan found a hidden stone cavern and forced his way inside.

• The Spirit Race Ancestor received the report and gave the Jade Talisman to Huan'er to examine.
• Huan'er confirmed that the woman was the reincarnation of the Asura King, her former master, and the Spirit Race Ancestor asked what she would do.

The Spirit Race Saintess Huan'er and the Spirit Race Ancestor prepared for the arrival of Lin Xuan and the Asura King’s reincarnation, believing they could withstand them. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan fought to escape the Mountain Giant Ape, but his sword threads failed to hold the True Spirit.

• Huan'er told the Spirit Race Ancestor that the Asura King’s reincarnation was weaker than her former self, but warned him not to underestimate Lin Xuan.
• The Spirit Race Ancestor said he had recalled the Spirit Race’s experts and activated Restrictions to prepare for the confrontation.
• Lin Xuan failed to shake off the Mountain Giant Ape, which used Lightning Evasion to catch him and attack.
• Lin Xuan blocked the ape’s punch with his Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword, but his swords could not wound its arms.
• Lin Xuan used the Sword into Silk Technique to bind the Mountain Giant Ape and attack it with thousands of sword threads.
• The Mountain Giant Ape flared with golden light and shattered the sword threads binding its limbs.

Lin Xuan fought the Mountain Giant Ape, restoring his destroyed sword and combining several laws to break its Dharma Image. Though both were exhausted, Lin Xuan stopped the ape’s next attack by revealing he knew about its Fire Dragon Fruit, leaving their fight suspended over whether it would negotiate.

• The Mountain Giant Ape destroyed Lin Xuan’s sword threads and attacked him with its Dharma Image.
• Lin Xuan reassembled the sword into a giant blade, then added Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire and Illusionary Yin Divine Thunder.
• Lin Xuan used Sword Law, Law of Extreme Cold, and the law of lightning to counter the ape’s Law of Power, then added his own Law of Power and cleaved its Dharma Image in two.
• Both Lin Xuan and the Mountain Giant Ape were exhausted, but the ape recovered and prepared to attack again.
• Lin Xuan stopped the ape by asking whether it still wanted the Fire Dragon Fruit, and the ape hesitated and demanded to know how he knew about it.

Lin Xuan turned his battle with the Mountain Giant Ape into a supposed friendship to obtain its spirit blood without provoking it. He secured the blood, promised to return the Fire Dragon Fruit, and waited for his avatar to arrive.

• Lin Xuan offered the Fire Dragon Fruit and claimed he wanted to make friends with the Mountain Giant Ape.

• The Mountain Giant Ape filled Lin Xuan's jade bottle with its spirit blood and healed the small wound.
• Lin Xuan promised to hand over the Fire Dragon Fruit when his avatar arrived, and the Mountain Giant Ape waited.

Lin Xuan reunited with his Second Nascent Soul, gave the Mountain Giant Ape the Fire Dragon Fruit as promised, and left with its True Spirit Blood and the Fire Spirit Essence. He and Yue'er chose to enter seclusion to strengthen themselves before seeking clues to the Asura Seven Treasures among the ancient Spirit Race, and Lin Xuan began preparing to refine his gains.
