At the Flat Peach Grand Ceremony, Fairy Yutong revealed that the final auction item was a legendary Chaos Stone, a Primordial Supreme Treasure containing the earliest Laws of Heaven and Earth. The stone’s power was confirmed when it altered the laws around the auction, while Lin Xuan restrained his desire and watched warily for the Alliance’s hidden motives.

• Fairy Yutong reminded the cultivators that the opening song and dance had shown the evolution of chaos and the earliest Laws of Heaven and Earth.
• Fairy Yutong announced that the final auction item was a Chaos Stone formed when chaos first opened, shocking the gathered experts.
• Fairy Yutong summoned a pitch-black stone, and its law fluctuations caused the Laws of Heaven and Earth nearby to change.
• Bingpo, Guanghan True Person, Baoshe, and other experts recognized the change as evidence of the Chaos Stone’s primordial power.
• Lin Xuan considered bidding for the treasure but decided it was too dangerous and suspected the Yulan Trade Alliance had concealed circumstances behind the auction.

Li Yutong put the Chaos Stone up for auction and explained that it was genuine but could be used only once. The bidding began among powerful cultivators, with several raising the price before Nailong offered two billion Spirit Stones.

• Nailong joined the auction and bid two billion Spirit Stones.

Lin Xuan watched the Three Realms’ supreme experts drive the Chaos Stone’s price to staggering heights, while he realized he could not afford to join the bidding. The auction continued toward twenty billion Spirit Stones, with Fairy Tianjue among the determined contenders.

• The auction continued, with the Chaos Stone’s price nearing twenty billion as most of the top-tier powerhouses remained in the contest.

As the bidding for the Chaos Stone narrowed to Guanghan True Person, Bingpo Progenitor, and Corpse King Jinyue, Bingpo proposed replacing the auction with a wager. She revealed a miniature realm, erased all its laws, and challenged the two rivals to deduce the new laws as they returned.

• The Chaos Stone's price reached twenty-five billion Spirit Stones, leaving Guanghan True Person, Bingpo Progenitor, and Corpse King Jinyue as the final bidders.
• Bingpo proposed settling the competition with a contest of skill rather than continuing the auction.
• Bingpo produced a miniature realm whose landscape contained the features of a complete small realm.
• Bingpo erased every law from the miniature realm, astonishing Lin Xuan and the other Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators.
• Bingpo wagered that they would deduce the miniature realm's newly born laws, while Corpse King Jinyue wondered whether she was bluffing.

Bingpo won the contest to deduce the miniature interface’s Laws of Heaven and Earth, claiming the Chaos Stone after wagering twenty-five billion. As the Flat Peach Assembly wound down amid fears that the Outer-Domain Heavenly Demons would return, Lin Xuan prepared to leave and drew an invitation from an unnamed voice.

• Guanghan True Person and Corpse King Jinyue accepted Bingpo’s wager and began deducing the miniature interface’s Laws of Heaven and Earth.
• Lin Xuan asked Nailong True Person whether anyone could deduce an entire realm’s laws, and Nailong said a complete derivation was beyond his ability.
• After an hour, Bingpo’s deductions matched the interface’s laws most closely, and she won the Chaos Stone while Guanghan True Person and Corpse King Jinyue conceded.

Lin Xuan and Nailong True Person faced Corpse King Jinyue, who had come to challenge Nailong, and Nailong fought back with his Bean-to-Soldier Transformation. The clash was swept away by a mysterious vortex of black lightning, which unleashed a beam of light as Nailong moved to protect Lin Xuan.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy told Lin Xuan that Corpse King Jinyue had come to make trouble for Nailong True Person, and Lin Xuan chose to face the danger alongside his brother.

• Nailong warned the others to get out of the way and sent Lin Xuan flying clear as he faced the vortex's black pillar of light.

• Nailong True Person summoned his Battle Armor and domain as black fog enveloped him, but the fog soon vanished along with him and Corpse King Jinyue.

• Lin Xuan departed alone, leaving Hundred Flowers Fairy and Meng Ruyan behind.

Lin Xuan separated from Meng Ruyan and Hundred Flowers Fairy to keep them out of danger, then encountered a Pig Demon who demanded the two treasures he had won at the Flat Peach Assembly.

• Lin Xuan collected the Demon Core and saw several Tribulation Transcendence cultivators approaching, though he could not explain how they kept tracking him.
• Lin Xuan consulted Yue'er and Xiao Die, then flew away at great speed to find a place where he could Shatter the Void and escape the Yutong Realm.

• The pair discussed Bingpo’s offer and agreed their cooperation was mutual exploitation, then the man caught a spirit talisman that appeared through the void.

Bingpo arranged for the Yuan Couple to pursue Lin Xuan while keeping her own motives hidden from them and Baoshe. Lin Xuan sensed two powerful pursuers closing in but could not discover how they were tracking him, leaving him unable to shake them off.

• The dark-skinned man used a pearl to transform it into wings, fused them to himself, and sped away with the charming woman to pursue Lin Xuan.

• Lin Xuan found nothing amiss, and his evasive turns failed to stop the pursuers from closing in.

With two Tribulation Transcendence Late Stage cultivators pursuing him, Lin Xuan decided to stop running and prepared an elaborate trap in a strange valley.

Lin Xuan explained that he had stopped to lure out the powerful cultivator secretly tracking him, while keeping Yue'er and Xiao Die hidden as reinforcements. The Yuan Couple caught up and confronted him, but as they prepared to attack, a vast wave of flames and spiritual pressure swept in from the horizon.

• Lin Xuan told Yue'er and Xiao Die that the Yuan Couple were only bait for the stronger enemy tracking him, and ordered them to remain inside the Moment Cave Heaven Map until summoned.
