Lin Xuan discovered that the treasures in the immortal's cave included a powerful version of the Jade Maiden Seven-Heart Technique and the rare Hundred Herb Pill recipe, which could help a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator advance to Lihe. After resting, he and Yue'er began cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Space, where the chapter leaves them advancing toward the Nascent Soul peak.

• Lin Xuan let Yue'er take half of the Nine Heavens Residual Snow, but she refused his offer to keep the rest because the rare makeup was so valuable.

• A monster at the Nascent Soul Late Stage was shown beside an Asura Jade Token whose number had changed from three to one hundred.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er spent decades cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Space, advancing their strength and preparing for a breakthrough to Lihe. When Lin Xuan tried to purify a failed Hundred Herb Pill with the Blue Star Sea, the purification unexpectedly failed, leaving him uncertain whether he could continue advancing.

• Lin Xuan fused the Azure Phantom Nether Fire with the Ten Thousand Year Corpse Fire and tested its chilling, poisonous, and corrosive power on an immortal sword.
• Yue'er told Lin Xuan that she had strengthened her Baleful Ghost Ink and learned a wind-escape divine ability.
• After fifty years of cultivation, Lin Xuan's Second Nascent Soul and Demon Core reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, while Yue'er reached the Nascent Soul peak.
• Lin Xuan began refining a Hundred Herb Pill from exceptionally rare herbs, but the attempt produced Waste Pills.
• Lin Xuan tried to purify a Waste Pill with the Blue Star Sea, but the purification failed, and he worried that higher-grade pills might be beyond its power.

Lin Xuan failed to discover how the Blue Star Sea could purify the Hundred Herb Pill, and Yue'er experienced a painful, unsettling reaction when she examined it. After a year without progress, Lin Xuan set the mystery aside and began studying the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image left by Ouyang Qinxin.

• Lin Xuan studied the Blue Star Sea for months while Yue'er continued cultivating, but he made no progress.
• Yue'er examined the Blue Star Sea with her divine sense, suffered sudden pain, and said it felt familiar and stirred conflicting emotions in her.

• Lin Xuan spent another year studying the Blue Star Sea without success and decided to put the matter aside.
• Lin Xuan took out Ouyang Qinxin's Jade Slip and began studying the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image.

After three years of cultivating the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image, Lin Xuan tested his strengthened power and decided to attempt an escape from the Spirit Gathering Space with Yue'er. Their combined assault reached the space's sky and triggered a huge vortex, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Lin Xuan mastered the first rudiments of the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image after three years of cultivation.

• Lin Xuan brought out his Broken Sword, Azure Phantom Nether Fire, and numerous treasures while Yue'er prepared the former Asura King's natal treasure.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er unleashed their attacks toward the sky, where the space began to churn and a huge vortex appeared.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er survived a terrifying vortex in the Spirit Gathering Space, but Lin Xuan collapsed from exhausting his magic power and divine sense. After waking, he discovered seven or eight silver points had appeared in the Blue Star Sea, suggesting it had changed, and began restoring his divine sense.

• Lin Xuan recalled his treasures and dodged with Yue'er as the vortex swallowed their attacks and grew stronger.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er stood together to face the vortex, which suddenly vanished before it could pull them in.
• Lin Xuan blacked out from overexertion, and Yue'er carried him back to the cave residence and fed him Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
• Lin Xuan woke after a day and a night, found his magic power restored but his divine sense depleted, and discovered silver points in the Blue Star Sea.
• Lin Xuan took a Great Luo Pill to restore his divine sense while Yue'er stayed by his side.

Lin Xuan discovered that cultivating the "Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image" had caused silver light spots to appear in his Blue Star Sea, greatly improving its ability to purify pills. After spending years gathering enough spots to purify fifteen Hundred Herb Pills, he and Yue'er began their attempts to advance to Lihe, with Lin Xuan swallowing the first pill and starting to refine its power.

• After recovering from his depleted divine sense, Lin Xuan tested the silver light spots and found that they quickly purified a Marrow Cleansing Pill into a mid-grade pill.
• Lin Xuan continued cultivating the "Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image" and found that his silver light spots increased.
• Over the next ten years, Lin Xuan accumulated more than two thousand silver light spots and successfully purified a Hundred Herb Pill.
• Lin Xuan spent about half a month purifying all fifteen Waste Pills into finished Hundred Herb Pills.
• After resting and preparing for three days, Lin Xuan swallowed a Hundred Herb Pill and began refining its medicinal power to break through to Lihe.

Lin Xuan failed to advance to Lihe after a heart demon made him relive a vision of Yue'er as the Asura King, but the Five Dragon Seal broke the illusion and saved him. He found Yue'er advancing amid a miraculous gathering of spiritual energy, then watched her transformation summon the Underworld Realm and another strange landscape.

• Lin Xuan endured the Hundred Herb Pill's agony and was overwhelmed by a vision in which he wielded True Immortal power and Yue'er, as the Asura King, defeated Spirit World cultivators.
• Lin Xuan realized the vision was a heart demon caused by his fear of the dangers Yue'er faced, and the Five Dragon Seal's icy chill helped him escape it.
• Lin Xuan recognized that his attempt to advance to Lihe had failed and rushed outside to check on Yue'er.
• Lin Xuan saw five-colored vital energy gathering around Yue'er as she attempted to advance, and he believed she might succeed.

• The surroundings shifted into an endless wilderness resembling the Underworld Realm, then changed again into a landscape of palaces, mountains, and strange beasts.

Yue'er advanced to Lihe after consuming the Hundred Herb Pill, while Lin Xuan reflected on his failed breakthrough and chose to try again in the Spirit Gathering Space. The chapter ended with him preparing to purify an Allure Heaven Profound Pill to help overcome his heart demon.

Dugu Mou, Dugu Meng, and their companions were lured into a trap by the White Shark Gang, whose young master planned to abduct Dugu Meng. As the two sides fought, a spatial rift opened nearby and an ordinary-looking youth emerged.

• Dugu Mou and his companions searched the sea for a Snow Fate Beast whose demon core could save his son.

After spending a hundred years trapped in the Spirit Gathering Space, Lin Xuan successfully broke through to the Lihe Realm and escaped back to the Human World. He reunited with Dugu Meng and Dugu Mou, who recognized him after more than a century.

• Lin Xuan used the Allure Heaven Profound Pill and Hundred Herb Pill to overcome his heart demon and break through to the Lihe Realm.

• Dugu Meng recognized Lin Xuan, and he recognized her as the cultivator he had once rescued on the way to Quiet Moon Island.
• Dugu Mou recognized Lin Xuan and asked if he was truly Senior Lin.

• Lin Xuan recognized Dugu Mou and Dugu Meng, who respectfully thanked him for helping them in the past.
• Lin Xuan killed the fleeing White Shark Gang cultivators with water-origin Flying Daggers and let the Dugu siblings take their Storage Bags.

• Dugu Meng said Wang Tinglou had supported Horizon Sea Pavilion, sent an incarnation to Yingzhou Island, and attacked Li Soul Valley's headquarters with his true body.
• Dugu Meng reported that Li Soul Valley's defenses had been broken and that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's headquarters had also been breached.

Lin Xuan learned that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and Li Soul Valley had been destroyed after years of warfare, and worried about the safety of Yuanyuan, his elder sister, and Baisuan Pavilion. As he prepared to leave, Dugu Meng stopped him and asked for help with a matter she and her brother could not handle.

• Lin Xuan wondered why Wang Tinglou had attacked Li Soul Valley alone, but decided not to investigate the elder's motives.
• Dugu Meng explained that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and Li Soul Valley suffered repeated defeats and were eventually wiped out after a brutal war lasting more than ten years.
• Lin Xuan worried about his friends and Baisuan Pavilion, then decided he needed to visit Horizon Sea Pavilion to learn more.
• Lin Xuan began to leave, but Dugu Meng stopped him and thanked him for saving her and her brother more than a hundred years earlier.
• Dugu Meng asked Lin Xuan to help with a difficult matter, and he invited her to explain.

Lin Xuan gave Dugu Mou three spirit pills to heal his son, then flew toward Horizon Sea Pavilion to ask Meng Ruyan about the great battle a hundred years earlier and how to prepare for ascending to the Spirit World. Dugu Mou and his companions returned to Mirror Sky Island, while Lin Xuan accelerated toward his next destination.

• Dugu Mou explained that his son Zhuo had suffered qi deviation and needed a Snow Fate Beast Demon Core, and he and Dugu Meng begged Lin Xuan to save him.
• Lin Xuan gave Dugu Mou a jade bottle containing three spirit pills to heal Zhuo, warning that he would help only this once.
• After Lin Xuan departed, Dugu Mou told the Red-Clad Beauty that Lin Xuan’s cultivation was extraordinary and that his realm might be Lihe Realm.
• The young girl in yellow questioned Lin Xuan’s attitude, so Dugu Mou and the Red-Clad Beauty rebuked her, and the Red-Clad Beauty ordered her to face the wall for ten years.
• Dugu Mou noticed Dugu Meng’s feelings for Lin Xuan but said nothing, then led the group back toward Mirror Sky Island.
• Lin Xuan flew toward Horizon Sea Pavilion to visit Meng Ruyan, learn about the past battle, and seek guidance about ascending to the Spirit World.

Shangguan Xue’s rise through Horizon Sea Pavilion was interrupted by a tremendous explosion that brought the sect’s cultivators outside. They learned that Meng Ruyan was advancing to Lihe Middle Stage and faced a dangerous False Heavenly Tribulation.

• Horizon Sea Pavilion recovered from the battle a century earlier and grew into one of Cloud Province’s most powerful sects.

• Su Jiangchun explained that Meng Ruyan’s breakthrough had triggered a False Heavenly Tribulation that could kill her while she was vulnerable.

Meng Ruyan’s breakthrough triggered a False Heavenly Tribulation that Horizon Sea Pavilion could not contain with its depleted protective formation. Su Jiangchun and the gathered elders fought to shield her, but the storm remained undiminished after an hour.

• Meng Ruyan’s spiritual power slipped out of control during her seclusion, drawing a vortex over Hundred Phoenix Peak.
• Su Jiangchun explained that the Nine Palaces Moment Sword Formation could not be activated because its stored spiritual energy had been exhausted in the battle on Yingzhou Island.
• Su Jiangchun used her silver bracelet to block the first black lightning bolt, but the impact injured her and cracked the treasure.
• Su Jiangchun, Liu Ying, Ji Yueru, and other Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to stop a black hurricane, while Horizon Sea Pavilion’s elders arrived to help.
• After an hour of fighting, Su Jiangchun had lost three treasures, and nearly a hundred sect members had gathered, but the Heavenly Tribulation had not weakened.

Su Jiangchun and the elders of Horizon Sea Pavilion struggled to contain a Heavenly Tribulation that kept replenishing itself from the surrounding vital energy of heaven and earth. As Su Jiangchun went to investigate a powerful howl, Lin Xuan and Yue'er recognized the tribulation’s extraordinary disturbance from a distance and wondered whether Meng Ruyan was cultivating a secret art.

• Su Jiangchun realized that the Heavenly Tribulation would keep growing as nearby vital energy flowed into it, despite the elders’ attacks.
• Liu Ying rallied the elders by warning that Horizon Sea Pavilion would decline without Martial Uncle, and Yu Honge explained that only a Lihe Realm cultivator could cut off the tribulation’s energy supply.
• Su Jiangchun ordered the elders to keep defending Meng Ruyan and sent Yu Honge to summon disciples at the middle Core Condensation Realm and above.
• A dragon-like howl shook apart some of the gathered vital energy, prompting Su Jiangchun to leave Liu Ying in charge and fly toward its source.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er, hovering a hundred li west of Yingzhou Island, saw the immense disturbance and wondered whether Meng Ruyan was cultivating a heaven-defying secret art.

Lin Xuan returned to Horizon Sea Pavilion after advancing to the Lihe Realm and encountered Su Jiangchun as the pavilion’s cultivators struggled against a celestial tribulation. As the cultivators faltered, Liu Ying killed Mei Xiang for attempting to flee.

• Liu Ying killed Mei Xiang with her Fragrant Mist and warned the remaining cultivators that anyone else who betrayed the sect would meet the same fate.

Liu Ying, Ji Yueru, and the women of Horizon Sea Pavilion struggled against a Double-Headed Flood Dragon formed from gathered spiritual energy until Lin Xuan arrived and saved them. After revealing his Lihe Realm cultivation, Lin Xuan began confronting the creature and summoned his Azure Phantom Nether Fire.

• Liu Ying and Ji Yueru charged the Double-Headed Flood Dragon, but its power overwhelmed them as the other women fought off lightning and gale winds from the vortex.
• Just as the dragon attacked the weakened Liu Ying and Ji Yueru, Lin Xuan arrived with Su Jiangchun and suppressed the chaotic spiritual energy.
• Liu Ying and Ji Yueru recognized Lin Xuan as their Lihe Realm Martial Uncle, while the other women whispered about him until his spiritual pressure silenced them.
• Lin Xuan ordered the women to retreat and faced the Double-Headed Flood Dragon, blocking its twin waves of light with a shield of spiritual energy.
• Lin Xuan summoned the Azure Phantom Nether Fire as a Spirit Bird and drew fire spiritual energy from within a hundred li into it.

Lin Xuan tested his newly gained Lihe Realm power against the Heavenly Tribulation, using the Azure Phantom Nether Fire to fight the double-headed flood dragon and controlling water elemental energy to forge a colossal Sword Ray. The giant sword advanced toward the vortex as it unleashed more attacks.

• Lin Xuan sent the Azure Phantom Nether Fire to battle the double-headed flood dragon, which attacked with thousands of wind blades.
• Lin Xuan drew the surrounding water elemental energy away from the vortex, preventing it from replenishing itself.
• Lin Xuan gathered the water elemental energy and infused it into a Sword Ray, expanding it to a thousand zhang.
• Lin Xuan launched the colossal sword toward the vortex, whose astral winds, wind blades, and fireballs could not match its force.

Lin Xuan destroyed the Heavenly Tribulation’s vortex and helped the Azure Phantom Nether Fire consume the weakened Tribulation Dragon. As Yuan Qi surged toward Hundred Phoenix Peak, Lin Xuan realized Fairy Ruyan was advancing, but the mountain collapsed amid a pillar of light, leaving her breakthrough’s outcome unclear.

• Lin Xuan cleaved the Heavenly Tribulation’s vortex apart with a giant sword, cutting off its supply of water Yuan Qi.
• The Azure Phantom Nether Fire weakened the Tribulation Dragon, and Lin Xuan trapped and sliced it so the Fire Bird could swallow its essence.
• Yingzhou Island began trembling as Yuan Qi gathered again, but Lin Xuan sensed that the surge was not another Heavenly Tribulation and congratulated Horizon Sea Pavilion on Fairy Ruyan’s advancement.
• Lin Xuan studied how Fairy Ruyan guided and absorbed the Yuan Qi while Su Jiangchun and the other cultivators watched from afar.
• After two hours, Yuan Qi rushed toward Hundred Phoenix Peak, a pillar of light shot skyward, and the mountain collapsed into rubble.

Lin Xuan witnessed Meng Ruyan complete her breakthrough to the middle stage of the Lihe Realm, strengthening Horizon Sea Pavilion’s position. Meng Ruyan reunited with Lin Xuan and brought him to stay in the VIP Building, where Chen Hongying greeted him as a senior.

• Meng Ruyan’s breakthrough unleashed a phoenix cry and a brilliant display of azure lightning as Horizon Sea Pavilion’s disciples congratulated her.
