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

• Scholar Tianya and the gathered cultivators saw Zhuiling Ancestor emerge from the split mountain with the aura of a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator.
• Zhuiling Ancestor killed his prized disciple with a pillar of light and then attacked the sect cultivators gathered to welcome him.

Zhuiling Ancestor went mad after his cultivation went awry and attacked the Zhuiling Sect’s cultivators. Scholar Tianya tried to stop him but was killed, leaving the remaining disciples fleeing as the slaughter continued.

• Scholar Tianya charged Zhuiling Ancestor and tried to restrain him with several defensive treasures.

• Zhuiling Ancestor shattered the void with a stomp, killing cultivators caught in the ripple as the survivors scattered and fled.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er overwhelmed Zhuiling Ancestor, whose defenses collapsed as the surrounding void was torn apart.
• Lin Xuan asked whether Yue'er was all right, and they reassured each other that they were safe despite their exhaustion.

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.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er used the Treasure Map to set up a formation, which opened a Space Node leading to the True Spirit Burial Ground.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er found that the True Spirit Burial Ground had green mountains, clear waters, and abundant spiritual qi, unlike the gloomy place Yue'er had expected.
• Lin Xuan said the Treasure Map did not reveal where the Earring was, so they would first familiarize themselves with their surroundings.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er explored the True Spirit Burial Ground, where they were attacked by strange mechanism puppets. Elsewhere, an old Spirit Race ancestor received a warning from a Jade Talisman and sent Feiya and Sharp Claw to search for intruders, while Lin Xuan remained unaware of the danger.

• Lin Xuan shoved Yue'er out of the way of a hidden attack, but a golden blade cut his shoulder.

• The old ancestor ordered Feiya and Sharp Claw to patrol for unfamiliar intruders, and the pair flew out to search.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er continued surveying the vast burial ground, unaware that the Spirit Race was looking for them.

Lin Xuan learned that Yue'er could sense the Asura Seven Treasures and set off southeast to find one, while two members of a strange Demon Race discovered signs of an intruder. As Lin Xuan investigated the True Spirit Burial Ground’s unintelligent demons, a mighty roar drew him and Yue'er toward its source.

• Yue'er explained that her bloodline could sense the Asura Seven Treasures more clearly at close range, then used her divine sense to locate one generally to the southeast.
• Lin Xuan flew southeast with Yue'er, leaving behind the powder of the Stone Statue Puppet he had destroyed.
• Feiya and Sharp Claw examined the puppet remains, identified the intruder as a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator, and sent a message to the Old Ancestor before pursuing.
• 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.
