Lin Xuan and Meng Ruyan followed a map of Penglai Mountain toward an Ancient Teleportation Array, navigating a dangerous No-Fly Restriction and finding a cave passage. Inside, they encountered a swarm of Phantom Moon Moths led by a mature form, and Lin Xuan said he had an idea for dealing with them.

• Lin Xuan showed Meng Ruyan his map of Penglai Mountain, and they determined that the Ancient Teleportation Array lay to the northwest.
• Meng Ruyan tested the No-Fly Restriction with an iron-armored Puppet, which was destroyed by lightning after rising above ten zhang.
• Lin Xuan found a hidden cave in an impassable mountain wall, and he and Meng Ruyan entered it toward the teleportation array.

• Tens of thousands of Phantom Moon Moths swarmed from the cave, led by a mature, intelligent-looking moth with spiritual pressure comparable to a Lihe cultivator.
• Meng Ruyan prepared to fight despite the danger, but Lin Xuan said he had an idea.

Lin Xuan used the Hundred Spirit Bell to protect himself and Meng Ruyan as they attempted to pass through the Phantom Moon Moths’ cave. In the Soul Thought Space, Tian Xiaojian completed his contract with Void Shadow’s former Devil Race Grand Commander and asked whether they would next ascend to the Spirit World.

• Tian Xiaojian accepted the pain and asked the Grand Commander whether they would ascend to the Spirit World next.

Tian Xiaojian learned that Ghost Face meant to help him ascend to the Saint World, not the Spirit World, and agreed to hear its guidance. After escaping the Phantom Moon Moth cave, Lin Xuan, Meng Ruyan, and Yue'er encountered a massive Beast Tide and plunged into it to force a path through.

• Ghost Face explained that the Saint World could suit cultivation as well as the Spirit World, and Tian Xiaojian agreed to consider ascending there.
• Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan escaped the Phantom Moon Moth cave and continued toward their destination.
• Lin Xuan sensed an ominous feeling, and he and Meng Ruyan soon saw millions of demonic beasts rushing toward them.
• Lin Xuan summoned Yue'er to help, and the three prepared their weapons and took spirit milk before the Beast Tide arrived.
• Lin Xuan, Meng Ruyan, and Yue'er launched their attacks and were swallowed by the advancing beasts as they tried to carve a way through.

Lin Xuan and Meng Ruyan escaped the Beast Tide and waited anxiously for Yue'er, whom they feared had been lost. Yue'er arrived unharmed with a Beast Soul Banner filled with nearly a million souls, and the three reached the Ancient Teleportation Array.

• Lin Xuan escaped the Beast Tide, became separated from Yue'er and Meng Ruyan, and waited for them on a hillside.
• Meng Ruyan arrived, and she and Lin Xuan waited for Yue'er as the sky darkened.
• When Yue'er did not appear for two hours, Lin Xuan decided to return for her and urged Meng Ruyan to go on alone.
• Yue'er arrived unharmed and explained that the Beast Soul Banner had kept the demonic beasts away while she collected nearly a million souls.
• Lin Xuan, Meng Ruyan, and Yue'er flew through the night and found the Ancient Teleportation Array in a gorge.

Lin Xuan and Meng Ruyan found an ancient Teleportation Array that could lead to the Spirit World, but a hidden formation concealed it and the array was damaged. After they broke the formation and repaired the array, the Asura Gate began opening, forcing Lin Xuan, Meng Ruyan, and Yue'er to activate it without testing it.

• Lin Xuan used the Restriction-Breaking Disk to reveal a powerful formation around the Teleportation Array and stopped Meng Ruyan from entering it prematurely.
• Lin Xuan, Meng Ruyan, and Yue'er worked together for half a day to break the formation, revealing the array with one corner missing.
• Lin Xuan recognized patterns on a Jade Slip he had copied earlier as matching the array, and he and Meng Ruyan decided to try repairing it.
• The three gathered materials and Top-grade Spirit Stones, then repaired and activated the Teleportation Array after two days and one night of work.
• The Asura Gate began opening before Lin Xuan could test the array, so Lin Xuan, Yue'er, and Meng Ruyan stepped onto it and vanished.

After a dangerous teleportation, Lin Xuan woke on a deserted island in the Spirit World, injured and separated from Yue'er and Sister. He restored his strength and prepared to search for them using his divine sense.

• Lin Xuan regained consciousness among scattered rocks after shielding Yue'er and Sister from the teleportation's spatial tremors.
• He inspected his injuries and used Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk to restore his depleted magic power.
• Lin Xuan flew above the island and confirmed that it lay in the Spirit World, where spiritual energy was unusually abundant.
• He searched the island for Yue'er and Sister with the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye but found neither of them.
• Lin Xuan took pills and meditated for three days until his strength recovered, then released his divine sense to search a thousand li.

After arriving alone in the Spirit World, Lin Xuan worried that Yue'er had been separated from him, then set out across a vast ocean to find people and learn about his new surroundings. He rescued a local cultivator from a demonic fish and confirmed that he had reached the Spirit World despite being only at Core Condensation.

• Lin Xuan used the Master-Servant Blood Pact and learned that Yue'er was safe but too far away for him to locate.
• Lin Xuan chose to strengthen himself and flew west across the ocean to search for inhabitants of the Spirit World.
• Two days later, Lin Xuan sensed a Foundation Establishment cultivator fleeing a strange fish and concealed his own powerful aura.
• Lin Xuan killed the demonic fish with a Flying Dagger and rescued the old man.
• Lin Xuan questioned the old man and confirmed that he was in the Spirit World, explaining that he had arrived from the Human World at Core Condensation.

Lin Xuan learned about the Spirit World from a Foundation Establishment cultivator and traveled with him toward Linhai City. He marveled at the world’s advanced formations, which let the old man power a flying boat with mid-grade Spirit Stones.

• The old man accepted Lin Xuan’s claim that he had ascended from the Core Condensation Realm and offered to explain the Spirit World.
• The old man salvaged the demon core and other parts from the sea beast, then agreed to guide Lin Xuan toward Linhai City.
• The old man brought out a flying boat, and Lin Xuan recognized it as a device that had been impractical in the Human World.
• The old man powered the boat with mid-grade Spirit Stones, and Lin Xuan saw that the Spirit World’s formation techniques made the craft fly efficiently.

Lin Xuan learned that the Spirit World consisted of hundreds of vast small realms, and that the East Sea was one of its lowest-ranked regions. After detecting a battle between the Demon Race and Sea Race, he heard how ancient cataclysms transformed the East Sea and led to underwater cities for mortals.

• Lin Xuan asked the old man to explain the Spirit World, and learned it was made up of several hundred fragmented small realms.
• The old man said the East Sea was immense, and that travel between realms required Cross-boundary Teleportation Arrays.
• Lin Xuan sensed a battle ahead between the Demon Race and people with an unfamiliar aura, whom the old man identified as the Sea Race.
• The old man explained that the Asura King’s invasion and the battle between the Heavenly Sha Bright King and a Loose Immortal shattered the East Sea’s land and eventually turned it into a vast ocean.
• The old man said senior cultivators and formation masters had built underwater cities with water-avoiding formations to shelter the realm’s mortals.

Lin Xuan learned how the Sea Race evolved from humans and came to share power in the East Sea with humans and demons. He then ordered the old man to steer toward a Sea Race spell battle, where they arrived to observe three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

• The old man explained that the Sea Race had evolved over millions of years, fought a war with humans, and eventually signed an alliance pact with them.
• The old man said he had left his cultivation clan because he preferred reading, and now hunted demons for their cores because he did not want to die.
• Lin Xuan ordered the old man to steer the Spirit Boat toward the Sea Race, despite his warning about the risks.
• The old man turned the Spirit Boat toward the battle, and they quickly reached the three Sea Race cultivators.
• Lin Xuan observed the two men and one woman, noting their blue eyes, pale skin, faint scales, and Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation.

Lin Xuan watched three Sea Race cultivators battle a powerful octopus and learned how their tridents and Sea Blue Pearls enhanced their fighting styles. When the octopus nearly struck the Sea Race Commandery Princess, Lin Xuan intervened, severed its tentacle, and drew its attack toward himself.

• Lin Xuan observed two Sea Race men fight with tridents while their companion amplified her water spells with a Sea Blue Pearl.
• The old man explained that Sea Blue Pearls strengthened water spells but prevented their users from wielding other treasures.
• The three Sea Race cultivators struggled against a giant octopus as its attacks and Lin Xuan's arrival distracted them.
• The octopus pierced the girl's water curtain and swept a tentacle toward her, prompting the two men to rush to her defense.
• Lin Xuan cut off the octopus's tentacle with a streak of white light, and the wounded beast turned to attack him.

Lin Xuan killed an Octopus Monster and parted ways with a Sea Race girl and her two companions. After he left, a giant Mystic Turtle Puppet appeared, carrying powerful Sea Race cultivators led by Aunt Xiu, who reprimanded Xin'er for venturing out alone.

• Lin Xuan slew the Octopus Monster with his Flying Dagger and accepted the Sea Race girl's thanks.
• The girl rebuked her companions for nearly revealing her identity, then parted amicably from Lin Xuan.
• After Lin Xuan departed, a massive whirlpool formed and a five-hundred-zhang Mystic Turtle Puppet emerged from the sea.
• Several dozen powerful Sea Race cultivators appeared on the Puppet, led by the late Lihe-stage Aunt Xiu.
• Aunt Xiu warned Xin'er that her dangerous outing could have sparked a war between the Human Race and Sea Race.

Lin Xuan learned about the Spirit World’s islands, Immortal Cities, and cultivation realms as he traveled toward Linhai City. He arrived at Red Leaf Island and was astonished by the immense city and its formidable walls.

• Lin Xuan learned that Nascent Soul cultivators could rule islands, while Lihe cultivators could build Immortal Cities and face increasingly powerful Tribulations of Vital Energy.
• An old man told Lin Xuan that reports of Dongxuan cultivators were uncertain and came from a Core Condensation cultivator who had been driven mad after witnessing a fight.
• The old man explained that True Person Withered Wood, the former Lihe Realm lord of Red Leaf Island, had died during his second Tribulation of Vital Energy, leaving his Nascent Soul Late Stage granddaughter, Red Leaf Fairy, as the island’s ruler.
• After two more days of travel, Lin Xuan reached Red Leaf Island and saw its vast Linhai City, whose towering stone walls were reinforced with ironstone.

Lin Xuan arrived at the Spirit World’s immense Linhai City on Red Leaf Island and entered while concealing his cultivation. After buying a jade slip about the city, he began planning to find lodging.

• Lin Xuan stopped the Spirit Boat outside Linhai City, erased the old man's memories of him, and left him pills before flying toward the city.
• Lin Xuan concealed his aura and approached Linhai City, wary of its formidable defenses and the No-Fly Restriction surrounding it.
• Lin Xuan paid the city entrance fee and entered without drawing attention, though a female cultivator noticed his unusual clothing.
• Lin Xuan bought a Jade Slip containing information about Linhai City and read it, then decided to find lodging.
