• The Ice Profound Celestial Monarch arranged for Ling Pengyun to use Frosty Mountain's sixth-tier spirit vein, and Ling Pengyun accompanied him there.

Ling Pengyun prepared to break through to Void Refinement at Frosty Mountain with the Frost Immortal Sect's support. He passed the Heart Demon Tribulation and shattered his bottleneck, leaving him facing the Void Refinement tribulation lightning.

• Sect Master Frost agreed to lend Ling Pengyun Frosty Mountain and gave him a formation token to activate the sect's sixth-tier guardian formation.
• Ling Pengyun assured Sect Master Frost that he held no grudge against the Ice Soul Lineage as long as they did not pursue the matter further.
• Sect Master Frost cleared Frosty Mountain of its cultivators, including the Ice Soul Celestial Monarch, so Ling Pengyun could attempt his breakthrough in isolation.

• Ling Pengyun's Primordial Scripture protected his sea of consciousness, allowing him to shatter the Heart Demon Tribulation illusions and break through his bottleneck months later.
• A colossal Void Refinement Tribulation Cloud appeared, and Ling Pengyun resolved to withstand its tribulation lightning.

Ling Pengyun used the Frost Immortal Sect’s great array to restrain his Spirit Transformation tribulation lightning and temper his foundation with it. As he refined a five-colored azure dragon bolt, the Frost Immortal Sect’s observers watched anxiously while Sect Master Frost praised his potential.

After Ling Pengyun entered Void Refinement, the Five Elements foundation transformed the Primordial Scripture into the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, greatly strengthening its abilities but making them costly to use. He accepted a place as a Frost Immortal Sect Guest Elder, received congratulatory gifts, and agreed to a convention celebrating his breakthrough.

• Ling Pengyun discovered that his new Five Elements foundation had transformed the Primordial Scripture, granting it stronger abilities to refine Five Elements Yin-Yang Essence and assist with comprehending Void Refinement inheritances at a steep Spirit Crystal cost.
• Ice Profound Celestial Monarch, Old Sect Master Frost, and the Frost Immortal Sect disciples celebrated Ling Pengyun's breakthrough, while Ice Soul Old Celestial Monarch regretted that he belonged to the Ice Profound Lineage.

• Sect Master Frost proposed holding a Void Refinement Convention for Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengyun approved so the sect could gather congratulatory gifts.

Ling Pengyun became a Frost Immortal Sect Guest Elder and received generous cultivation resources and access to the sect’s Grade Six inheritances. He entered seclusion to perfect his own cultivation art, then told Yan Siyi he had broken through and urged her to strengthen her foundation so he could help her attempt Void Refinement in the future.

• Ling Pengyun swore an oath and signed a contract to become a Guest Elder, and the Frost Immortal Sect promised him annual resources and cultivation at Frosty Mountain.

Ling Pengyun entrusted Yan Siyi and Ling Wantong with expanding the Lingxiao Business Alliance after his advancement to Void Refinement. Ling Wantong arranged an introduction to Golden Origin Valley’s senior marketplace officials and set out with Hunwen Dao Lord to establish the alliance in Golden Origin Marketplace.

• Ling Pengyun told Yan Siyi he had an opportunity for her to reach Void Refinement and asked her to expand the Lingxiao Business Alliance while he refined his cultivation and professional inheritances in seclusion.
• Yan Siyi inferred that Ling Pengyun needed resources after advancing and met Ling Wantong at the alliance headquarters to discuss its growth.
• Ling Wantong proposed expanding into Golden Origin Marketplace, and Yan Siyi approved his plan to build the alliance there without provoking Golden Origin Valley.
• Ling Wantong offered Hunwen Dao Lord six portions of Yan Siyi’s Fifth Grade Peak spirit food in exchange for introductions to Golden Origin Valley figures who oversaw the marketplace.
• Hunwen Dao Lord accepted the offer and left with Ling Wantong for Golden Origin Marketplace, while Yan Siyi took charge of the alliance headquarters during their absence.

Ling Wantong and Hunwen Dao Lord met Liu Song, lord of the Golden Origin Marketplace, to negotiate the Lingxiao Business Alliance’s entry. Liu Song was wary of competition in artifact sales, but Ling Wantong offered to avoid that trade and supply Golden Origin Valley with large quantities of spiritual goods at steep discounts, leaving Liu Song interested and asking whether the alliance could fulfill its promise.

• Ling Wantong and Hunwen Dao Lord traveled to the Golden Origin Marketplace and met Liu Song, whom Hunwen Dao Lord introduced as its powerful lord and a trusted figure in Golden Origin Valley.
• Liu Song explained that the Lingxiao Business Alliance’s artifact and Spirit Treasure business would compete with Golden Origin Valley’s main source of marketplace profits, making its entry unwelcome.
• Ling Wantong proposed that the alliance avoid selling artifacts and high-grade Spirit Treasures there, while specializing in pills, spirit food, and other goods that the marketplace lacked.
• Ling Wantong offered to sell Golden Origin Valley substantial quantities of pills and other spiritual goods, along with fifth-grade peak spirit food, at thirty percent of market price each year.
• Liu Song was tempted by the offer because it could ease pressure to deliver profits to his sect, and Ling Wantong promised a contract that would let Golden Origin Valley seize the alliance’s Primordial Unity Immortal City businesses if it broke the deal.

Ling Wantong secured Golden Origin Valley’s agreement to let the Lingxiao Business Alliance expand into Golden Origin Marketplace, then heard Hunwen Dao Lord’s proposal to join an assault on a Myriad Souls Ghost Realm small realm. Ling Pengyun was open to the plan but decided to wait until Star Sea Old Ancestor and Li Hao arrived in the Clear Mist Realm before committing.

• Ling Wantong declined to commit immediately, signed a confidentiality Primordial Soul Contract, and returned to Primordial Unity Immortal City to consult Yan Siyi.
• Yan Siyi sent Hunwen Dao Lord’s proposal to Ling Pengyun, who said the plan could work but wanted Star Sea Old Ancestor and Li Hao to arrive before proceeding.

Ling Pengyun arranged for Star Sea Old Ancestor and Ling Lihao to join Yan Siyi in strengthening the Lingxiao Business Alliance before it joined the Primordial Unity Lineage’s attack on the Ghost Dao Minor Realm. Ten years later, a vast fleet of allied cultivators gathered beneath Primordial Unity Minor Mountain to depart for the assault.

• Ling Pengyun planned to send Star Sea Old Ancestor and Ling Lihao to support Yan Siyi and instructed the Alliance to prepare war supplies.
• Yan Siyi relayed Ling Pengyun’s plan to Ling Wantong, who stockpiled supplies and expanded the Alliance’s business into Golden Origin Marketplace.
• Hunwen Dao Lord told Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch that the Alliance was preparing for war, and his master explained why he had chosen to attack the Ghost Dao Minor Realm.
• Over ten years, Ling Wantong established the Alliance in Golden Origin Immortal City, while Star Sea Old Ancestor and Ling Lihao arrived and the Alliance agreed to join the assault.
• Yan Siyi, Star Sea Old Ancestor, Ling Lihao, and cultivators from the Primordial Unity Lineage and more than twenty business alliances assembled with a vast fleet beneath Primordial Unity Minor Mountain.

Yan Siyi introduced Star Sea Old Ancestor and Ling Lihao to Hunwen Dao Lord and reassured them about their prospects in the Clear Mist Realm. Primordial Unity Heavenly Monarch opened a stable Space Channel with a Grade Six Low-Rank Immortal Stabilizing Realm Great Array and led the assembled forces toward the Ghost Dao Minor Realm.

• Hunwen Dao Lord questioned Yan Siyi about Star Sea Old Ancestor and Ling Lihao, and she explained their ties to her husband and their skills in formations, Pill Refining, and talismans.
• Yan Siyi told Hunwen Dao Lord that her husband would visit the Immortal City in a few years and had given her powerful trump cards for the expedition.

After donating his new inheritances to the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, he received rare materials and generous treasury access, then stocked up on treasures to strengthen himself and his allies.

• Ling Pengyun used his Five Elements Dharma Bead to summon the Five Elements Thunder Flood Dragon, which blasted a huge gap in the sect's Spirit Treasure Iron Wall.
• Ling Pengyun assessed his growing strength, then decided to leave seclusion and visit Primordial Unity Immortal City to support the Lingxiao Business Alliance's campaign against the Ghost Dao Minor Realm.

• The Extreme Cold Old Sect Master swore to protect the inheritances and rewarded Ling Pengyun with five Grade Six Low-Rank materials and thirty thousand Grade Six Sect Contribution Points.
• Ling Pengyun exchanged most of his contribution points for sixth-rank talismans, Fifth Grade Peak Boundary Breaking Spirit Items, and other treasures, and asked the old sect master to reserve cultivation resources for him.

Old Sect Master Frost asked Ling Pengyun to hold a Void Refinement Grand Ceremony and help the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect expand its business among nearby forces. Ling Pengyun accepted for the promised profits, leaving the sect ready to begin the ceremony and negotiations.

• Old Sect Master Frost proposed holding Ling Pengyun’s Void Refinement Grand Ceremony and using it to negotiate for larger shares of nearby spirit plant and pill businesses.
• Old Sect Master Frost explained that Ling Pengyun’s advancement and Bing Xuan’s growing strength gave the sect confidence to expand, and offered Ling Pengyun thirty percent of the profits.
• Old Sect Master Frost promised the sect would seek cooperation and avoid unnecessary conflict with nearby forces.
• Ling Pengyun judged the annual share of at least ten Sixth-tier Spirit Crystals worthwhile and saw the ceremony as a chance to gain valuable items before traveling to Primordial Unity Immortal City.
• Ling Pengyun agreed to the ceremony and the business expansion, and Extreme Cold Old Sect Master was delighted.

Ling Pengyun’s Void Refinement Ceremony drew millions of guests and gifts, including a valuable Frost Spirit Fruit from Ji Kui Celestial Monarch and Wu Earth Essence from Thousand Souls Celestial Monarch.
