After reaching the Golden Origin Immortal Sect, Ling Pengyun learned the task was to raise two or three Golden Feather Arrows to Fifth Rank Peak Grade, a refinement he warned was extremely risky.

• Old Daoist Zheng Yuan’s flying sword advanced to Fifth Rank Superior Grade, and he promised Ling Pengyun a favor and publicized his weapon-refinement success.

Ling Pengyun joined Golden Feather Old Dao Lord in reforging the Golden Origin Immortal Sect’s Golden Feather Arrow Feathers, using the sect’s special method and the Golden Origin Baleful Qi Treasure Grotto. After two failed attempts, they successfully created a Fifth Rank Peak Grade arrow feather, strengthening the Golden Origin Immortal Sect’s arsenal.

• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord explained the sect’s plan to use its remaining arrow feathers and special refining methods to improve a select few, and Ling Pengyun agreed to assist after swearing an oath and signing a contract.
• Ling Pengyun studied the Golden Feather Bow and Arrow forging method for several years, then followed Golden Feather Old Dao Lord into Golden Origin Mountain to begin the refinement.
• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord activated the refining method and melted three arrow feathers with rare materials, but the item patterns resisted their attempts to perfect them.

• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord refused to sell the arrows and bow, so Shining Star Dao Lord proposed borrowing them three times in exchange for a lifespan-extending pill and five Fifth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Treasures.

Shining Star Dao Lord borrowed the Golden Origin Immortal Sect’s bow and arrow feathers, while Golden Feather Old Dao Lord used the promised pill to restore his lifespan and renewed his ambitions.

• Ling Pengyun warned the Azure Profound Lineage's factions that Shining Star Dao Lord's attack suggested future trouble and offered discounted spirit treasures, talismans, and pills in exchange for crafting materials.

The Azure Profound Lineage accepted the task of tying down the Vajra Demon Rock Sect and gathered nearly fifty million cultivators before ending recruitment to protect its resources.

• Shining Star Dao Lord proposed that the Righteous Path strike the Devil Path in half a year, arguing that Yin Ming Old Demon and Silver Moon Bear Lord were still weakened and that the coming Ancient Ghost Domain opening could strengthen the Devil Path.
