• Lin Xuan continued attacking Corpse King Qingyuan while his Phoenix and Azure Phantom Nether Fire clashed with the Corpse King’s defenses.
• Qin Yan sent tens of thousands of red sword rays toward the battlefield, and Lin Xuan and Yue'er raised layered defenses.

• Corpse King Qingyuan summoned a Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Bead that transformed into three enormous skeletons to confront the sword rays and Lin Xuan’s attacks.

• Lin Xuan poured his true essence into his Demonic Fate Sword and natal Dharma Treasure as the battle raged.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er were swallowed by the Hundun Thunder Bead's white light and vanished, leaving Su Jiangchun and Liu Ying to face the Corpse Infant. The two women attacked him, while the chapter left Lin Xuan and Yue'er's fate unexplained.

• Lin Xuan destroyed Corpse King Qingyuan's body, but the Corpse Infant revealed a Hundun Thunder Bead and unleashed its power.
• Lin Xuan tried to protect Yue'er and escape, but the bead stripped them of their spiritual power and engulfed them in white light.
• Su Jiangchun and Liu Ying found Lin Xuan and Yue'er gone and confronted the Corpse Infant.
• The Corpse Infant attacked the two women with Magic Snakes, while Su Jiangchun summoned a Giant Eagle and Liu Ying released poisonous pink mist.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er survived the Hundun Thunder Bead and found themselves inside a Spirit Gathering Space, an independent realm with spiritual energy comparable to a supreme-grade Spirit Vein. After learning from a dead former Horizon Sea Pavilion sect master’s Jade Slip that the space could only be escaped by advancing to the Lihe Realm, Lin Xuan realized their refuge could become a lifelong prison.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er emerged unharmed from the strange white light and found themselves in a small independent space filled with dense spiritual energy.
• Lin Xuan searched the space and discovered an ancient skeleton, a Storage Bag, and a Jade Slip beneath a large rock.
• Lin Xuan used his Puppet to retrieve the Jade Slip, which identified the skeleton as Mei, the fourth-generation sect master of Horizon Sea Pavilion.
• Lin Xuan learned that the space was one of nine Spirit Gathering Spaces created to imitate a supreme-grade Spirit Vein.
• Lin Xuan realized Corpse King Qingyuan had mistaken a Spirit Gathering Bead for a Hundun Thunder Bead and sent them into the space.
• Lin Xuan concluded that they could escape only by advancing to the Lihe Realm, or remain trapped until their lifespans ended.

Lin Xuan tried and failed to break out of the Spirit Gathering Space, then recovered from his exertions while accepting that he might be trapped until he advanced to Lihe Realm. After noticing a mystery about the bones and their owner, he took the ancient Storage Bag beside the skeleton.

• Lin Xuan attacked the white light curtain with Azure Fire and a Broken Sword, but could not break through it.
• Lin Xuan gave up trying to escape for the moment and took medicinal pills to recover his strength.
• After two days and one night, Lin Xuan awoke beside Yue'er and acknowledged that they might remain trapped for a long time.
• Lin Xuan reread the Jade Slip and wondered how the skeleton's owner had entered the Spirit Gathering Space despite creating only nine Spirit Gathering Beads.
• Lin Xuan drew the ancient Storage Bag from beside the skeleton and noted that its capacity far exceeded modern bags.

Lin Xuan explored the abandoned cave residence of Mei, found Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, and discovered an astonishingly mature Purple Aster Herb in its herb garden. He remained trapped in the Spirit Gathering Space and needed to advance to Lihe before he could leave.

• Lin Xuan buried Mei's remains and flew with Yue'er to the mountain summit to use the abandoned cave residence as a place to advance to Lihe.
• Lin Xuan searched the cave residence and tore through a powerful restriction to retrieve a bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.
• Lin Xuan recognized that the rare spirit milk could restore magic power and some Life Essence, then carefully stored the small amount he had found.
• Lin Xuan entered the cave residence's herb garden, where Yue'er spotted a Purple Aster Herb that had reached an extraordinarily mature form.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er explored the ancient Herb Garden and discovered priceless spirit herbs, including a Purple Aster Herb and a Nine Heavens Red Lotus. Searching the belongings of the ancient cultivator Mei, they found various treasures and an unknown red powder that Yue'er appeared to recognize.

• Lin Xuan identified the Purple Aster Herb and Nine Heavens Red Lotus as exceptionally valuable treasures among the Herb Garden's spirit herbs.
• Lin Xuan worried that he did not know which pills to refine from most of the ancient herbs, and Yue'er suggested their former owner might have left pill formulas.
• Lin Xuan searched the Storage Bag of the woman surnamed Mei and gave Yue'er a defensive Ice Silkworm Garment.
• Lin Xuan opened a Jade Box containing fragrant red powder, tasted a little, and could not identify it.
• Yue'er asked to examine the powder with an excited, yearning expression.

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.
• Lin Xuan examined the white Jade Slip and found a top-grade version of the Jade Maiden Seven-Heart Technique, which he intended to give to Lu Ying'er and Liu Xin.
• Lin Xuan found the Hundred Herb Pill recipe, whose pill offered a one-in-three chance for a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator to advance to Lihe, and realized he had its required materials.
• Lin Xuan searched the immortal's cave, slept for three days and nights, then went to the Cultivation Room with Yue'er to begin cultivating.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er continued cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Space, using its dense spiritual energy and Aster Pills to advance their magic power.

Lin Xuan refined the rare Aster Pill from the million-year-old Purple Aster Herbs in the independent space. He successfully completed the pill and confirmed its identity to Yue'er, leaving him with a powerful aid for reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

• Lin Xuan spent his time cultivating and refining pills, while Yue'er practiced separately in the independent space.
• Lin Xuan used his Infant Fire and the Purple Dragon Cauldron to refine the Aster Pill, carefully controlling the flames and spell seals for three days and nights.
• Lin Xuan saw the pill begin to condense and continued tending the cauldron as its medicinal fragrance grew stronger.
• The Purple Dragon Cauldron displayed strange omens, and Lin Xuan took them as a sign that the Aster Pill was extraordinary.
• Lin Xuan collected the pale purple pills in a jade bottle and examined one as Yue'er arrived.
• Lin Xuan confirmed to Yue'er that the pills were Aster Pills.

Lin Xuan purified Aster Pills and used them with Yue'er to cultivate for more than forty years, bringing his cultivation close to the Nascent Soul Realm's great circle. The Asura Jade Token's countdown suddenly changed from three to one hundred, and the chapter ended with Taowu roaring in the mountains of Cloud Province.

• Lin Xuan purified the Aster Pills to middle grade, tested one, and found it greatly improved his magic power; Yue'er took one too and found it effective.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er continued taking pills, cultivating, and sparring, while Lin Xuan's Spirit Storage Belt crumbled when he tried to give it to Yue'er.
• More than forty years passed, and Lin Xuan's cultivation approached the great circle of the Nascent Soul Realm.
• The Asura Jade Token's countdown changed from three to one hundred, shocking Lin Xuan and Yue'er and suggesting the Asura Gate's opening had been postponed.
• In Cloud Province, Taowu, a divided soul of one of the Four Evils of the Spirit World, roared amid a deserted mountain range.

The Asura Gate’s opening was delayed by a hundred years after the Laws of Heaven and Earth changed, giving several powerful figures a chance to advance to the Lihe Realm. Lin Xuan remained trapped in the Spirit Gathering Space with Yue'er and continued cultivating toward that realm.

• A monster at the Nascent Soul Late Stage was shown beside an Asura Jade Token whose number had changed from three to one hundred.
• North Nether True Lord visited the Devil Ancestor, who said the Asura Gate’s delay likely came from powerful beings in the Spirit World and had changed the laws enough for it to advance to Lihe.
• Princess Xinyue learned that the changed laws had given her group another hundred years to advance to the Lihe Realm.
• The Asura Jade Token’s change caused alarm among powerful human and demon cultivators, while the opening of the Asura Gate was postponed for a hundred years.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er remained trapped in the Spirit Gathering Space, and Lin Xuan spent forty years cultivating until he neared great perfection in the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Lin Xuan continued refining his magical power and training his Second Nascent Soul and Demon Core while cultivating other divine abilities.

Lin Xuan worked to refine the Ten Thousand Year Corpse Fire that the Azure Phantom Nether Fire had swallowed from the Qingyuan Corpse King. After weakening the intelligent corpse fire and making it fight the Demon Flame again, he watched the Azure Phantom Nether Fire swallow it once more, leaving the final refinement ahead.

• Lin Xuan drew out the corpse fire and deliberately let it break free, discovering that it had developed a little intelligence.
• The corpse fire transformed into a tiny Flood Dragon and tried to escape, but Lin Xuan trapped it with five-colored Sword Rays.
• When the corpse fire resisted the net with a gray-black light, Lin Xuan shattered the net and bombarded it with Thunder Beads.
• Lin Xuan broke apart the weakened fireball, and the Azure Phantom Nether Fire appeared as a Fire Bird while the corpse fire was left badly injured.
• The Fire Bird overcame the corpse fire in their renewed clash and swallowed it again.

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 recalled Yue'er's past-life memories of the Asura King and wondered whether the Blue Star Sea was connected to her previous life.
• 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 tested the Dharma Image's power and judged that his strength could rival Lihe Realm cultivators even without a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
• Lin Xuan told Yue'er he wanted to break out of the Spirit Gathering Space and asked her to join forces with him.
• 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.
