• The Spirit Race Saintess resolved to stake everything and began forming spell seals, causing an inconceivable scene to appear.

The Spirit Race Saintess turned herself into an apparently ordinary earring and left Lin Xuan to face the True Spirits alone. While Lin Xuan struggled to maintain his defense and waited for Yue'er, Yue'er and Xiao Tao escaped the Phantom Moon Moth's first illusion, only to face a new attack that mixed illusion with reality.

• Lin Xuan used Internal Vision and saw the Five Dragon Seal hovering at the center of the Blue Star Sea in his dantian.

• Lin Xuan absorbed the Blue Star Sea into the Five Dragon Seal while the Mystic Turtle Dragon Shell Shield blocked attacks from the True Spirits.

• The seal surrounded Lin Xuan with five-colored radiance and reflected the True Spirits’ attacks back at them, resolving the immediate danger.
• Nearly a hundred more True Spirits emerged from their crystals and gathered around Lin Xuan without attacking, fixing their attention on the seal.
• Lin Xuan recognized the seal as the True Spirit race’s lost sacred Bailing Seal, and a powerful Peacock arrived nearby.

Lin Xuan witnessed Peacock and the other True Spirits merge into the Five Dragon Seal, ending their millions-year obsession and transforming the True Spirit Burial Ground. He emerged from danger as the desolate land became a blessed grotto-heaven.

Lin Xuan entered the True Spirit Sacred Land and discovered that the shattered Five Dragon Seal had transformed into the Bailing Seal, which carried the origins of nearly a hundred True Spirits. Unable to move as the origins poured toward him, he began trying to refine them, facing a dangerous test with no time to prepare.

• The Five Dragon Seal shattered into fragments, which flew into Lin Xuan's body and reformed in his dantian as the Bailing Seal.
• Lin Xuan discovered that the Bailing Seal had gathered the True Spirit origins of nearly a hundred True Spirits, who had passed into reincarnation.
• The True Spirit origins immobilized Lin Xuan and began flowing toward him, bringing both an immense opportunity and the risk of death.
• Lin Xuan used his available magic power to begin refining the vast, mixed origins despite having made no preparations.

Lin Xuan tried to refine the overwhelming True Spirit Origin while Yue'er fought to escape the Phantom Moon Moth's trap. Yue'er was captured again, and Lin Xuan's True Spirit Inner Core faced imminent explosion.

• Lin Xuan examined his remaining magic power and began cautiously absorbing the True Spirit Origin through his True Spirit Inner Core.

• Yue'er found a Storage Bag at the bottom of the lake, but it transformed into a spiderweb and trapped her again; the Phantom Moon Moth revealed it had survived with a Substitute Talisman.
• The True Spirit Origin surged uncontrollably into Lin Xuan's True Spirit Inner Core, and his attempts to stop it failed as the core threatened to explode.

Lin Xuan was immobilized as uncontrolled True Spirit Origin flooded his Inner Core, shattered it, and threatened his Nascent Souls. A Spatial Rift swallowed the fragments and energy, then restored his core into a stronger form surrounded by rotating True Spirit shadows.

• After a short time, a dragon's-eye-sized True Spirit Inner Core emerged from the vortex, stronger and surrounded by changing True Spirit Void Shadows.

After absorbing the True Spirit Origin, Lin Xuan's True Spirit Inner Core rapidly advanced toward the Tribulation Transcendence Late Stage, threatening to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation before he was ready. He regained control of his body and began checking his situation so he could make preparations before the tribulation descended.

• Lin Xuan used the Internal Vision Technique, but the True Spirit Inner Core rejected his divine sense and then began advancing rapidly.
• The True Spirit Inner Core rose from the early stage to near the peak of the middle stage, and Lin Xuan feared its breakthrough would summon a devastating Heavenly Tribulation.
• Lin Xuan realized he could not move, form hand seals, or bring out treasures, but he struggled until he regained control of his body.
• Lin Xuan saw spiritual energy gathering over the True Spirit Sacred Land and recognized that its abundance could make the Heavenly Tribulation even stronger.
• Lin Xuan estimated that the Heavenly Tribulation would descend in about the time it took to drink a cup of tea and resolved to use the remaining time to prepare.

Lin Xuan prepared for Tribulation Transcendence by consuming rare medicines and setting out formations and Dharma Treasures, but the Heavenly Tribulation’s first attack transformed into swarms of mantis-like Demon Insects. He used Blood Fire Ants to counter them as the true test began.

• Lin Xuan relied on the Black Tortoise True Spirit Array to stop the ferocious second wave of the tribulation.

Lin Xuan faced an intelligent Heavenly Tribulation that turned his stone men against him and shattered his defenses. As the giant Stone Man and a swarm of fiery Evil Flood Dragons closed in, he summoned the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image.

• Azure Tribulation Lightning severed Lin Xuan's control of the one hundred and ten stone men and empowered them to attack him.

• The giant Stone Man pounced at Lin Xuan as red Tribulation Lightning transformed into Evil Flood Dragons and joined the assault.
• Lin Xuan summoned the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image.

Lin Xuan fought the Five Elements Lei Tribulation as golden lightning transformed into weapons and azure lightning became a sea of Water Qilin.

• The metal Tribulation Lightning continued to multiply, while the Nine Heavens God Luo Image grew dangerously outmatched.

Lin Xuan faced overwhelming enemies and a devastating earth-attribute Heavenly Tribulation that trapped him with Space Laws. He used an Immortal World Spirit Talisman to freeze everything with the Law of Time, then began a risky breakthrough as the Lesser Luo Heaven Dharma Image returned to him.

• The Stone Man and Eighty-one Fire Flood Dragons overwhelmed Lin Xuan's Golden Body Dharma Image, while golden treasures and Water Qilins pressed his other treasures.
