Little Nannan obtained the Immortal True Dragon Divine Medicine, and Lu Zhou’s group confronted the awakened guardians of the Myriad Dragon Imperial Clan at the Myriad Dragon Nest’s sealed gate. After negotiations failed, Gai Jiuyou opened the gate and led the group into the forbidden land, where ancient clan creatures charged at them.

• The Immortal True Dragon Divine Medicine flew to Little Nannan, who clutched it as shrieks and killing intent erupted from the Myriad Dragon Nest.

Lu Zhou and his companions entered the Myriad Dragon Nest, where Old Gai erased dozens of Primordial Beings with a glance. A half-saint servant of the Myriad Dragon Imperial Clan emerged and threatened them, and Lu Zhou challenged him over his arrogance.

• The Myriad Dragon Nest's Primordial Beings attacked Lu Zhou's group, but their techniques could not restrain them.
• Old Gai glanced at the attackers and erased dozens of them from existence.
• A half-saint servant emerged from his Divine Source, furious that humans had invaded and killed his subordinates.
• The servant invoked Great Sage Qianlun and Lei Zhan as he threatened Lu Zhou's group and demanded they kill themselves.
• Lu Zhou recognized the servant as the one who had ordered them to leave and asked what had happened to others who had made similar demands.

Yang Yi killed the servant leader and his underlings, prompting the Myriad Dragon Nest’s ancient beings to confront Lu Zhou’s group without daring to attack. Guided by Lu Zhou, the group reached the nest’s center, where they found a Chaos Dragon Nest and another coffin belonging to the Ruthless Emperor.

• Lu Zhou sensed the strongest dragon energy and guided the group past a vermilion coffin despite the ancient beings’ hopes it would trap them.
• Lu Zhou’s group reached a Chaos Dragon Nest at the center, where Big Black Dog recognized another coffin belonging to the Ruthless Emperor.

At the True Dragon Ancient Nest, Ye Fan’s Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi and Little Nannan resonated with the Ruthless Emperor’s coffin, which opened to reveal her broken body. The Immortal Treasure Map emerged and hovered before Ye Fan, Lu Zhou, and Little Nannan, unsure which of the two to choose.

• Big Black Dog urged Lu Zhou to enter the True Dragon Ancient Nest and claim its treasures, but Lu Zhou stayed back and watched the Ruthless Emperor coffin.
• Ye Fan’s Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi and Little Nannan both resonated with something inside the nest, and the coffin opened on its own.
• Zixia and the others glimpsed a broken, blood-soaked corpse in the coffin, while Little Nannan wept at the sight of the Ghost Face Mask.
• A hazy radiance rose from the coffin and flew out of the dragon nest, revealing itself to Lu Zhou as the Immortal Treasure Map.
• Big Black Dog tried to catch the treasure with an Ancient Emperor Token, but it bypassed him and hovered before Ye Fan, Lu Zhou, and Little Nannan.

After the Ruthless Emperor Coffin vanished into the chaos, Lu Zhou led the group onward and signed in at the Myriad Dragon Nest, obtaining a True Dragon Pearl.

• The Immortal Treasure Map sank into Ye Fan’s Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi, and Lu Zhou explained that it could open a treasure land beyond the planet.

• Lu Zhou led everyone away to find Old Master Ren Mo and signed in at the Myriad Dragon Nest, receiving one True Dragon Pearl.

Lu Zhou signed in for a True Dragon Pearl in the Ebony Dragon Nest and helped Gai Jiuyou retrieve a dragon scale while the Myriad Dragon Clan protested. As the group searched for divine source, Lu Zhou discovered Old Master Ren Mo sealed inside a massive piece.

• Lu Zhou suspected the True Dragon Pearl came from Red Dragon’s legacy and restrained himself from examining it while they were still in the nest.
• Lu Zhou declined the dragon scale, warning Gai Jiuyou that it might belong to the still-living Myriad Dragon Emperor, and Gai Jiuyou safely drew it to himself.
• The Myriad Dragon Clan’s Ancestor Kings accused the group of stealing their treasures but held back, remembering that an Ancestor King had died trying to approach the dragon scale.
• Lu Zhou, Ye Fan, Big Black Dog, Pang Bo, and Tu Fei searched the nest for divine source and uncovered several sealed Primordial Beings.
• Lu Zhou stopped Big Black Dog from breaking open a huge piece of divine source and recognized the chained old man inside as Old Master Ren Mo.

Lu Zhou rescued the Human Demon, Old Master Ren Mo, from Myriad Dragon Nest and stored him in a sealed world within his Qiankun Pearl. As Lu Zhou’s group left, he discovered the Dragon Girl sealed in divine source and considered taking her too, while Zixia teased him.

• Lu Zhou revealed Old Master Ren Mo, confirmed he was still alive, and removed the divine source sealing him before storing him in a separate world inside his Qiankun Pearl.
• Lu Zhou considered killing the Ancestor Kings of Myriad Dragon Nest but decided to spare them for now and use the clan as a future source of leverage.

• Lu Zhou suspected the woman was the Dragon Girl, daughter of the Myriad Dragon Ancient Emperor, and guessed the Myriad Dragon Bell was within her.
• Zixia teased Lu Zhou about taking the Dragon Girl, while Big Black Dog encouraged him and Ye Hei, Pang Bo, and Tu Dazui Ba noticed Zixia seemed jealous.

Lu Zhou left Myriad Dragon Nest after secretly warning Dragon Girl that Qianlun and Lei Zhan would destroy the clan, then parted ways with his companions. He gave Zixia a Primordial Immortal Flower and left her blushing as she flew away.

• Lu Zhou secretly left Dragon Girl a warning inside her divine source before departing Myriad Dragon Nest with the others.
• Old Gai left to digest his gains, while Ye Fan and his companions continued toward Ice Snow Palace to ambush the injured Li Rui; Yang Yi stayed with Lu Zhou, and Zixia prepared to return to Purple Mansion Sacred Land.
• Zixia advised Lu Zhou to avoid Ice Snow Palace so he would not be implicated in Li Rui's death, and Lu Zhou teased her about being jealous.
• Lu Zhou held Zixia's hand and asked to see her face; she let the purple mist covering it disperse, then broke free and flew away.
• Lu Zhou sent Zixia a Primordial Immortal Flower and explained its effects, while she blushed at his claim that she would be one of his women.

Lu Zhou examined the True Dragon Pearl and learned it held a True Dragon Emperor’s inheritance and could unleash the might of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon. With the pearl in his possession, he sent the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Seal back to Yaoguang Holy Land and entered his Wuji Dojo to study the inheritance.

• Lu Zhou entered Wuliang Heaven and inspected the True Dragon Pearl he had obtained from the Myriad Dragon Nest.
• He realized the pearl contained the Dao and methods of an Emperor-level True Dragon and could transform a cultivator’s bloodline into a True Dragon bloodline.
• Lu Zhou learned that the True Dragon Pearl could unleash its ultimate might without relying on an Emperor Weapon Deity’s consent.
• He decided that owning two Emperor Weapons would let him support Yaoguang Holy Land and Misty Palace without being stretched thin.
• Lu Zhou sent the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Seal to Yaoguang Holy Land and carried the True Dragon Pearl into his Wuji Dojo to study its inheritance.

Lu Zhou returned to Holy City and warned Ye Fan that attempting his Four Extremities breakthrough there would certainly fail because the Saint Body faced a curse. Ye Fan asked what Lu Zhou proposed, confident that he could help.

• After Primordial Beings attacked cultivators near Purple Mountain and threatened Holy City, the major forces repelled them with Ultimate Emperor Weapons and grew more cautious about Purple Mountain.
• Lu Zhou learned that Ye Fan and his companions had returned to Holy City to prepare for Ye Fan's breakthrough, so he ended his seclusion and went there.
• Yao Yuekong hosted a gathering at Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace, where the Ji Family and other forces pledged source and protection to support Ye Fan's breakthrough.
• Lu Zhou told Ye Fan that changes in heaven and earth meant he would fail if he broke through in Holy City, and said he had come to stop him.
• Ye Fan calmly asked Lu Zhou what he suggested, feeling reassured by his arrival despite the warning.

Lu Zhou advised Ye Fan to break through to the Four Extremities in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and Ye Fan agreed, leaving the Ji Family’s preparations at the Holy City’s Dragon Transformation Pool unused. As Lu Zhou toured the factions’ stone workshops, he learned that an alliance had formed to kill him, the Tyrant Immortal.

• Lu Zhou told Ye Fan that the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land’s primordial aura made it a better place for his Four Extremities breakthrough, and Ye Fan immediately agreed to go there.

• Lu Zhou visited the major factions’ stone workshops and bought Origin Stones, frustrating their owners, who feared his presence would hurt their businesses.
• Lu Zhou learned that people had secretly formed the Immortal Slaying Alliance to kill him, the Tyrant Immortal.

Lu Zhou suspected Liu Yunzhi and other Holy Sons had formed the Immortal Slaying Alliance against him, but he dismissed them as no threat and embraced his growing interest in the Holy Maidens they coveted. He arrived at the Ji Family Stone Workshop, where Ye Fan and his allies prepared to leave for the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land under heavy protection.

• Lu Zhou reflected on why he had spared Liu Yunzhi and the others, concluding that keeping them alive had helped preserve the original plot and his chance to obtain the Sacred Body's cultivation method.
• Lu Zhou suspected the Immortal Slaying Alliance included Jin Chixiao and Holy Sons from Purple Mansion, Myriad Beginning, and Dayan, whose hostility stemmed partly from their jealousy over women close to him.
• Lu Zhou decided that anyone who challenged him would meet the same fate as Saint Son Yaoguang and admitted he had developed an ambition to pursue the women sought by his enemies.
• Lu Zhou arrived at the Ji Family Stone Workshop, where Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Big Black Dog, Tu Fei, and several Demon Race experts had gathered.
• Ye Fan and Pang Bo prepared to travel to the outskirts of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land at dawn, relying on the Demon Race experts for protection after repeated assassination attempts and doubts about the Ji Family.

Lu Zhou prepared Ye Fan for his attempt to break through in the Archaic Forbidden Land, giving him divine source, Enlightenment Ancient Tea Leaves, and divine spring as powerful factions gathered to watch. As Ye Fan set off into the forbidden land, Little Nannan suddenly grabbed him.

• Lu Zhou and Ye Fan arrived outside the Archaic Forbidden Land, where cultivators and leaders from across the regions had assembled to witness Ye Fan's breakthrough.
• Lu Zhou and Ye Fan saw that the aura of Archaic had grown denser, and Little Nannan said something inside the forbidden land seemed to be calling to her.
• Lu Zhou encouraged Little Nannan to cheer Ye Fan on, and she told him she believed he would succeed.
• Lu Zhou gave Ye Fan several chunks of divine source, ten Enlightenment Ancient Tea Leaves, and about a hundred jin of Undying Heavenly Emperor's Divine Spring for his attempt.
• Lu Zhou and Pang Bo wished Ye Fan well, and Ye Fan stepped toward the Archaic Forbidden Land before Little Nannan suddenly grabbed him.

Little Nannan gave Ye Fan her Seven-Colored Stone as he entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, while Lu Zhou arranged protection and advised him to head for the Nine Sacred Mountains. The Void Mirror showed Ye Fan pushing deeper into the land as Desolation overcame his Stone Garment and rapidly aged him.

• Little Nannan offered Ye Fan her protective Seven-Colored Stone, and he accepted after Lu Zhou urged him not to upset her.
• Ye Fan entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and raced toward the Nine Sacred Mountains, following Lu Zhou's advice to seek its sacred springs and Saint Fruits.
• The Ji Family's Void Mirror, the Demon Race's Azure Emperor Weapon, and Lu Zhou's Dragon Pattern Black Gold Seal guarded the entrance as the Void Mirror projected Ye Fan's journey for the gathered cultivators.
• Spectators watched Ye Fan pass dense spirit herbs and learned that his Stone Garment was made from the skin of divine-source stones.
• After Ye Fan traveled seventy li, Desolation dimmed the protections on his Stone Garment and Dao Sutra characters, forcing him to discard the garment as he rapidly aged.

Ye Fan used abundant resources to reach the Nine Sacred Mountains, then stopped short and began a breakthrough that drew a fearsome tribulation. As he survived the Four Extremities tribulation, an Innate Dao Diagram formed to attack him, and Lu Zhou confronted Shi Yao and Zixia, who had apparently anticipated it.

• Ye Fan resisted the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land's erosion with source and divine spring water as he approached the Nine Sacred Mountains and saw the Desolate Slaves gathered there.
• Ye Fan stopped before the mountains, released over ten million jin of source, and began cultivating; the Desolate Slaves sensed his coming tribulation and fled into the abyss.
• The Old Imperial Lord of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, the Old Sect Master of the Yin Yang Sect, and other cultivators rushed into the forbidden land to seize Saint Fruits, but Lu Zhou stopped the Ji Family and Demon Race from attacking them.
• Ye Fan endured a powerful Nine-Character Tribulation and successfully passed through the four levels of heavenly tribulation.
• An Innate Dao Diagram formed in the void and pressed toward Ye Fan, prompting Lu Zhou to ask Shi Yao and Zixia whether they had known it would appear.

Ye Fan faced the Innate Dao Diagram as it descended upon him in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, leaving him near death despite his defiance. When Lu Zhou and the others prepared to intervene, the Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saint Body emerged from the abyss and shattered the diagram with a single punch.

• Ye Fan reached the Four Extremities realm, but the Innate Dao Diagram descended and crushed him under its pressure.
• Ye Fan resisted the diagram with all his strength while Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, Little Nannan, and the onlookers feared he would die.
• Lu Zhou allowed the Ji Family Holy Lord and others to bring three imperial weapons against the diagram as a terrifying presence stirred beneath the abyss.
• A chained figure emerged amid black mist and roared, causing mountains to collapse and cultivators to retreat.
• The Great Accomplishment Desolate Ancient Saint Body struck the Innate Dao Diagram with a punch that shattered it.
