Ling Pengyun then left Three Immortals Marketplace for home as the Black Flood Dragon Lake Clan’s threat to the Northern Wilderness remained unresolved.

He repaired plans for the clan’s defenses, while the Moon Shadow Wolf King abandoned hope of escaping Ling Pengyun’s control and entered seclusion.

• Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi selected Ling Lihao as the clan’s Nascent Soul candidate, and Ling Pengyun gave him Fourth Rank spirit herbs to help him reach Golden Core Completion within five years.

Ling Lihao used the Sun Moon Crystal to overcome the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation and form an embryonic Sun Moon Pill, while Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi considered the clan’s role in the war against the Black Flood Dragon Lake Clan. The resulting tribulation clouds gathered over Golden Winged Mountain, where Ling Pengyun prepared the clan as Ling Lihao faced his lightning tribulation.

• Ling Pengyun reassured Ling Lihao about attempting the Nascent Soul breakthrough and gave him fourth-rank spirit herbs, which helped him reach Golden Core Completion in four years.

• Tribulation clouds gathered over Golden Winged Mountain, and Ling Pengyun cleared the area before the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck the mountain’s Fourth Rank Low Grade defensive grand formation.

Ling Lihao successfully entered the Nascent Soul realm, and Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi entrusted him with protecting the Lineage while they pursued a secret realm with Ling Pengxing and the Ghost Immortal Lamp. The group reached the Far Eastern Province, where the Ghost Immortal Lamp identified the secret realm’s location.

• Ling Lihao emerged after surviving his tribulation, and Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi congratulated him and gave him two Spirit Treasures.

• Ling Pengyun asked whether they had arrived at the secret realm, and the Ghost Immortal Lamp confirmed that they had.

Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, and Ling Peng Xing entered the Ghost Immortal Sect’s secret realm to seek Fourth Rank Profound Underworld Ghost Iron and Ling Peng Xing’s Nascent Soul opportunity. They found valuable ghost-water resources and learned that a Nascent Soul Late Stage Black Phantom Evil Ghost might control the mist beyond their shelter.

• The Ghost Immortal Lamp explained that the secret realm might be overrun with ghosts and promised to nurture three Superior Grade Nascent Soul Initial Stage evil ghosts if the expedition secured enough Fourth Rank Profound Underworld Ghost Iron.
• The Ghost Immortal Lamp opened the entrance, and Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, and Ling Peng Xing entered the ghost-qi-filled secret realm behind it.

• The Ghost Immortal Lamp offered to split the secret realm’s resources with Ling Pengyun’s clan if they subdued it, except for the Profound Underworld Ghost Iron.

• The Ghost Immortal Lamp recalled that the Ghost Immortal Sect had once been a powerful Transformation God Force with several secret realms before its foundations were damaged in conflicts with the Demon-Burning Fire Phoenix Clan and the righteous path.

Ling Pengyun scouted the secret realm and found five fortified Ghost Mountains ruled by four Nascent Soul evil ghosts, making a direct attack the only viable plan. He brought Ling Pengxing back to the Ling Clan to attempt a breakthrough and gathered reinforcements, leaving the clan with Ling Lihao and a powerful talisman to defend it.

• Ling Pengyun left the Stabilizing Secret Void Grand Array and discovered the secret realm held five Fourth Rank Ghost Mountains, nearly ten thousand ghost creatures, and four Nascent Soul evil ghosts.

• Ghost Immortal Lamp agreed to support Ling Pengyun and promised to aid the Ling Clan in future dangers in return for the clan's help.
• Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, Ghost Immortal Lamp, and Ling Pengxing returned to the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, where Ling Pengxing went to Cloud Stepping Ridge to attempt his breakthrough.
• Ling Pengyun took the Moon Shadow Wolf King and a Ten Thousand Jun Evil Ghost from Golden Winged Mountain, gave Ling Lihao the Qian Yuan Meteor Talisman for the clan's defense, and headed to Cloud Stepping Ridge.

Ling Pengxing broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and tempered his Ghost Dao Nascent Soul to middle-tier foundations, bringing the Ling Clan to four Nascent Soul cultivators. He then joined Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi in the Ghost Immortal Sect’s secret realm, where Black Phantom Ghost Monarch approached them and asked to be taken outside.

• Ling Pengxing used two Fourth Rank Superior Grade Thousand Flowing Ghost Waters to overcome the Nascent Soul barrier, then tempered his Ghost Dao Nascent Soul to middle-tier foundations before the Ghost Qi Tide ended.

• Black Phantom Ghost Monarch asked Ling Pengyun’s group to take him and the other ghosts out of the secret realm, offering Nascent Soul spirit objects in return.

Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, and Ling Pengxing battled Black Phantom Ghost Lord and three Nascent Soul evil ghosts after refusing their offer to bargain. Ling Pengyun shattered their defenses with Five Elements Thunder, and concealed allies emerged to attack the wounded Ghost Monarchs.

• Ling Pengyun refused Black Phantom Ghost Lord's offer and attacked with the Five Elements Hundred Treasures Long River while Yan Siyi and Ling Pengxing joined the assault.

Ling Pengyun and his allies fought Black Phantom Ghost Lord and three other Nascent Soul evil ghosts after Black Earth Ghost Monarch sacrificed itself to break their formation. Ling Pengyun’s Five Elements Pure Yang Profound Lightning helped them kill the remaining three, and the Ghost Immortal Lamp proposed using their Ghost Cores to cultivate new evil ghosts for the secret realm and Ling’s clan.

• Black Phantom Ghost Lord guessed the Ghost Immortal Lamp might be the legendary treasure and ordered Black Earth Ghost Monarch to sacrifice itself to break the Five Elements Long River.
• Black Earth Ghost Monarch used Black Phantom Spirit Condensation and self-destructed its ghost-path Nascent Soul, scattering the Five Elements Long River and letting the three surviving ghosts flee.
• Ling Pengyun trapped the fugitives with the Five Elements Heaven-Shaking Bell, then swallowed a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Qi Recovery Pill to restore his spiritual power.
• Ling Pengyun unleashed two Five Elements Pure Yang Profound Lightning bolts, which shattered the two lesser Ghost Monarchs and heavily injured Black Phantom Ghost Lord before the group killed it.
• Ling Pengyun and his allies erased the souls in the three Ghost Cores, and the Ghost Immortal Lamp proposed using them and other resources to cultivate two superior Nascent Soul evil ghosts within five years, one for itself and one for Ling’s clan.

Ling Pengyun and Ghost Immortal Lamp divided the spoils from the Ghost Monarchs and secured control of the secret realm’s ghost formations. Ling Pengyun decided to take the strongest formation back to help protect the Ling Clan during its current crisis, while leaving another formation to guard the secret realm.

• Ling Pengyun kept the Superior Grade formation for the Ling Clan’s crisis and left the Low Grade formation behind to protect the secret realm.

Ling Pengyun and the Ghost Immortal Lamp divided the secret realm’s ghost lands and discovered a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Profound Underworld Ghost Pool and a Profound Magnetic Ghost Vein. After opening the captured Nascent Soul ghosts’ Storage Bags, they found a large reserve of ghost iron, enabling the Ghost Immortal Lamp to accelerate its recovery and promising new strength for the Ling Clan.

• Ling Pengyun and the Ghost Immortal Lamp divided the secret realm’s ghost lands, then explored Black Phantom Ghost Mountain and found a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Profound Underworld Ghost Pool.
• The Ghost Immortal Lamp explained that the nearby ghost vein could nurture Profound Underworld Ghost Iron, but feared the clan’s stored supply had been used up or hidden.
• Ling Pengyun proposed opening the captured Nascent Soul Ghost Monarchs’ Storage Bags, and the group found more than three hundred jin of Profound Underworld Ghost Iron among their treasures.
• Ling Pengyun gave the Ghost Immortal Lamp the Profound Underworld Ghost Iron and other sturdy ghost iron in exchange for a larger share of the remaining treasures.
• The Ghost Immortal Lamp said that refining two hundred jin of the iron for about five years could help it reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the rest would shorten its path to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Ling Pengyun and Ghost Immortal Lamp divided the spoils, secured a ghost cultivation pool and a promising ghost vein, and prepared to return to the Ling Clan. At Golden Winged Mountain, Heavenly Star Old True Lord failed to learn where Ling Pengyun had taken the Moon Shadow Wolf King or secure immediate help for his besieged sect, while Ling Pengcheng reached Golden Core Completion.

• Ling Pengyun and Ghost Immortal Lamp found the Nether Abyss Ghost Pool and agreed to work together to advance a Third Rank ghost vein, with the Ling Clan funding the work and Ghost Immortal Lamp providing the labor.

• Ling Lihao watched Heavenly Star Old True Lord depart, then learned that Ling Pengcheng had entered Golden Core Completion and congratulated him.

Ling Pengyun returned to Ling Clan territory, where he learned the clan remained safe and continued growing through its expanding resources and Sun Moon Crystal production. After revealing his Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation to deter Heavenly Star Old True Lord from pursuing Moon Shadow Wolf King, he contacted Sea Cloud True Lord and learned that outside support might falter when a wider conflict began in twenty-five years.

• Ling Pengcheng resolved to keep studying the Tempering Divine Sense and Meridians Method and eventually attempt a Nascent Soul breakthrough, while Ling Lihao calculated that future Sun Moon Crystals could improve his odds.
• Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi returned to Ice Snow Valley, where Ling Chengyuan reported that the clan had 133,856 members, thirty-eight Golden Core cultivators, and no recent Demon Race attacks.

• Ling Pengyun contacted Sea Cloud True Lord, who warned that support for Three Immortals Marketplace could become scarce in twenty-five years when the wider chaos period began and the Black Flood Dragon Lake Clan might attack.

After learning about the Northern Wilderness crisis, Ling Pengyun planned to strengthen the Ling Clan’s forces and prepared to support several promising spirit beasts and clansmen in reaching the Nascent Soul realm. He left Golden Winged Mountain confident in the clan’s future, with plans to secure Nascent Soul resources through a coming battle in the Boundless Sea Region.

• Ling Pengyun counted the clan’s future roster of ten Nascent Soul combatants and resolved to turn the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World upside down in five years.
• Ling Pengyun persuaded the Black Armored Turtle to delay its Nascent Soul breakthrough, promising to seek Earth Soul Essence and Nine Heavens Profound Qi for both it and Ling Chengxia.

• Ling Pengyun learned that Ling Chengxia was nearing Golden Core Completion and promised Ling Pengcheng Nascent Soul resources within thirty years.
• Ling Pengyun urged Ling Pengcheng to cultivate the Tempering Divine Sense and Meridians Method, which could improve his chances of reaching the Nascent Soul realm.

• Ling Pengyun visited Ling Yunhong and Ling Penglin, praised their contributions, advised them on cultivation, and planned to improve their aptitudes with Yin Yang Primordial Essence.
• Ling Pengyun found Ling Chengxin had reached the Golden Core Late Stage and become a veteran Third Rank High Grade Spirit Plant Farmer, then urged her to prioritize cultivation and prepare for a future Nascent Soul attempt.

• Ling Pengyun considered capturing a Nascent Soul Blood Spirit Crane to strengthen the clan’s crane, and Ling Chengmie asked to accompany him.

Ling Pengyun assessed the resources needed to reach Nascent Soul Completion before the God Transformation Opportunity and planned to improve his Spirit Plant Attainment and earn rare treasures in the coming Boundless Sea Region conflict. Five years later, Ling Pengxing’s Ghost Immortal Lamp returned to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, though it lacked enough Ghost Iron to advance further.

• Ling Pengyun warned Ling Chengmie that the Boundless Sea Region would erupt in conflict in a little over twenty years, and Ling Chengmie resolved to cultivate harder so he could help his father.
• Ling Pengyun calculated that ordinary pills and the family’s spirit plants would not let him reach Nascent Soul Completion in time, so he planned to focus on advancing his Spirit Plant Attainment and later earn rare resources through battle merit.
• Ling Pengyun arranged cultivation plans for his family, while Yan Siyi and Ling Lihao continued cultivating and Ling Pengxing refined Ghost Iron to heal the Ghost Immortal Lamp and nurture spirit ghosts.
• Five years passed without major changes in the Northern Wilderness, and the Ling Clan turned occasional demonic beast incursions into resources.
• Ling Pengyun met Ling Pengxing and congratulated the Ghost Immortal Lamp on returning to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage; the lamp lamented its shortage of Ghost Iron, and Ling Pengyun promised the clan would help search for more.

Ling Pengyun tested the superior Nascent Soul Initial Stage Profound Underworld Spirit Ghost cultivated by Ghost Immortal Lamp and equipped it with two Fourth Rank Ghost Treasures. After learning about Spirit Transformation Foundation treasures, he considered asking Star Sea Old Ancestor to help him obtain one.

• Ghost Immortal Lamp introduced the Profound Underworld Spirit Ghost, and Ling Pengyun sparred with it, confirming its strength and stealth abilities.
• Ling Pengyun ordered the Thousand Jun Spirit Ghost to hand over its offensive and defensive Ghost Treasures for Profound Underworld to refine.

• Ghost Immortal Lamp told Ling Pengyun that it had cultivated a Black Phantom Spirit Ghost to support its other ghosts and revealed that its own Nascent Soul Middle Stage strength could contend with ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.
• Ghost Immortal Lamp explained how Ghost Tools with a Spirit Transformation Foundation were made and suggested Star Sea Pavilion might help Ling Pengyun obtain one, prompting him to consider asking Star Sea Old Ancestor.

Ling Pengyun prepared for a dangerous plan against the Black Flood Dragon Lake Clan, strengthening the Lineage and arranging support before setting out with Yan Siyi and others. They reached the besieged Extinguish Bear City, where powerful demon lords and an overwhelming horde had trapped Heavenly Star Pavilion’s defenders.

• Ling Pengyun decided to reserve the next portion of primordial essence for himself, hoping to use it to obtain a Transformation God Foundation Spirit Treasure for the coming upheaval.
• Ling Pengxing reported that he had refined a powerful flying sword ghost treasure, and Ling Pengyun promised that success in their plan could earn him guidance from a fourth-realm Sword Dao expert.

• Ling Pengyun left with Yan Siyi after entrusting Ling Lihao with a defensive talisman, and they secretly traveled to Heavenly Star Pavilion’s territory.
• Ling Pengyun and the others reached Extinguish Bear City, which was surrounded by demonic beasts and watched by veteran Nascent Soul demon lords.

As Extinguish Bear City’s defenses weakened, Ling Pengyun contacted True Lord Liu Haochan and proposed joining forces to kill the two Nascent Soul Demon Lords besieging the city. After Ling Pengyun revealed he had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Heavenly Star Old True Lord agreed to help restrain the demons, and both sides arranged to act in three days.

• Ling Pengyun proposed that Liu Haochan and Heavenly Star Old True Lord restrain the two Nascent Soul Demon Lords while he and his wife killed them.
• Ling Pengyun told Liu Haochan that he had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and Liu Haochan reported the proposal to Heavenly Star Old True Lord.
• Heavenly Star Old True Lord agreed to cooperate, and the two sides set their attack for three days later.
