Spring and Taiyuan Sea began compressing the Dead Silent Zone and its surrounding Energy Mass while Qu Jianlei remained inside to gather higher-dimensional elements. The process had advanced only slightly after half a year, and the others learned it might take more than a hundred years; Qu Jianlei nevertheless managed intermittent communication with the Spider Phantom.

• Spring, Taiyuan Sea, and Little Sister devised a plan for compressing the space, with Qu Jianlei gathering the higher-dimensional elements from within.
• Crystal Ancestor moved the Crystal Race and the Human Race True Venerables to a temporary foothold, while Qu Jianlei stayed behind in the space.
• Crystal Ancestor stood guard as Spring and Taiyuan Sea began compressing the Energy Mass.
• After half a year, Deep Consciousness had compressed only one outer ring and warned that the process could take over a hundred years.
• The Spider Phantom revealed that Qu Jianlei had been communicating with it intermittently from inside the space.

While True Venerable Qu continued probing from inside, the others received a Lianxing formation inheritance and trained a nine-person Battle Formation to compress space. The formation worked and cut the estimated wait from seventy or eighty years to thirty or forty, though Qu remained trapped inside.

• The Deep Consciousness estimated that the compression would take seventy or eighty years, and Xiaoyou asked whether Suiyue could help before being warned that it might harm the Deep Consciousness.
• Jin Ge left with several avatars and returned three years later, while Lianxing True Venerables later brought more help and an inherited formation to the Maiden Star Region.
• A Great Monarch from Lianxing declined to come in person but sent the original formation inheritance, which could be adapted into a nine- or eighteen-person Battle Formation.
• Taiyuan Sea's mysterious voice understood the formation and helped explain it, and the True Venerables spent months drilling and coordinating before trying it.
• Han Li objected to borrowing Crystal Race members, and nine True Venerables successfully activated the Battle Formation and stabilized its power.
• The Deep Consciousness judged that the formation could shorten the remaining time by half, reducing the estimate to thirty or forty years.

The True Venerables considered whether True Venerable Qu's ordeal might reveal a path from Out-of-Body to Spirit Severing, prompting several of them to contemplate seeking similar opportunities. After seventeen years of steady preparation, they learned that the convergence point of the worlds was fusing faster, and cultivators from Lingyun had come looking for True Venerable Qu.

• True Venerable Xiaoyou suggested that True Venerable Qu's dangerous ordeal might establish a path to Spirit Severing, and Han Li judged that path difficult to reproduce.
• True Venerable Kunxiu privately asked Xiaoyou to help her join a future effort in a world facing Heavenly Tilting, and Xiaoyou agreed to remember her request.
• Han Wei proposed that the group communicate with the outside world and improve their surroundings, and Han Li secured everyone's agreement not to bring in additional people.
• The True Venerables spent seventeen years building a camp and receiving occasional news from outside.
• True Venerable Yueran and his team reported that Lingyun cultivators had come to find True Venerable Qu because the convergence point of the worlds was fusing at an accelerated pace.

The accelerated fusion of the two worlds drew True Venerables from across the realms, raising fears that their arrival could disrupt the Empire. Han Li and his allies arranged to mediate, and Song Yue'er returned with the visitors largely persuaded to stay in line and interested in inviting True Venerable Qu to lecture on his new cultivation path.

• True Venerables from the four realms hurried to observe the suddenly accelerating fusion of the two worlds, prompting the Lingyun Sect to worry about disorder in the Empire.
• Baiqiao sought help from Qu Jianlei's group, and Han Li, Xiaoyou, Yueran, and the others discussed how to manage the incoming cultivators.
• Stick sent a wisp of intent with Song Yue'er, who led a group of True Venerable avatars to mediate with the visitors.
• Song Yue'er returned six months later and reported that the mediation had gone smoothly because the visitors respected the strength of her delegation.
• The visiting True Venerables asked when Qu Jianlei would share his new path to the Out-of-Body Realm, and some offered to host a lecture in their realms.

Song Yue'er and the others agreed to observe the world confluence while investigating whether high-dimensional forces linked it to their compression effort. As compression intensified, Qu Jianlei endured mounting pressure and finally rediscovered a mysterious sensation of safety that brought him sudden enlightenment.

• Song Yue'er completed negotiations with the True Venerables, who agreed to watch the world confluence without interfering.
• Crystal Ancestor reported that an unknowable, possibly high-dimensional factor had accelerated the confluence and might be connected to their compression effort.
• Three years later, True Venerable Qu contacted the group and asked them to increase the force of compression, though Deep Consciousness and the Battle Formation were already near their limits.
• Qu Jianlei struggled through increasing pressure, using his Abode, Dao Stele, and Creation Compass to stay alive and focused while absorbing the auras of Creation and Destruction.
• Qu Jianlei finally caught the fleeting sense of safety he had once experienced inside Senior Heng's phantom body and realized he had reached sudden enlightenment.

Qu Jianlei cultivated in the Ethereal State, discovered and absorbed a High-Dimensional Element related to vitality, and developed a crude way to store converted vitality. After crushing ninety-nine stored strands under a sudden surge of pressure, he felt an unseen shackle break and his body grow lighter, but he kept the possible breakthrough to himself while he examined what had changed.

• Qu Jianlei sensed a distant High-Dimensional Element related to vitality and began absorbing it to counterbalance Silent Extinction.
• Qu Jianlei gradually brought vitality closer to equilibrium with Silent Extinction, then continued absorbing until he had roughly twice as much vitality.
• Qu Jianlei had Xiao Hu contact the Spider Grand Monarch, who reported that the pressure outside could increase only a limited amount and that everyone was concerned for him.
• Qu Jianlei developed a preliminary method for storing converted vitality and continued gathering it while refining his technique.
• A sudden surge of pressure struck Qu Jianlei, so he crushed ninety-nine stored strands of vitality and felt an invisible shackle break as his body became lighter.
• Qu Jianlei chose not to notify his teammates yet, and continued collecting vitality while inspecting his body for signs of a breakthrough.

Qu Jianlei recovered from the strain of his breakthrough while Big Head Butterfly reported that the Taotie Grand Monarch had appeared outside and was confronting the protectors. The Taotie demanded half of the compressed Energy Mass, leaving a clash close as Little Sister and Spring continued their work.

• Qu Jianlei asked Big Head Butterfly to monitor the outside while he investigated his own condition.
• Big Head Butterfly told Qu Jianlei that Stick and Spider were facing a white baozi, and Qu Jianlei supplied a Division Level Ship to help it recover.
• Taiyuan Sea detected a Great Monarch spying, and the Crystal Ancestor and Stick discovered the Taotie near the Energy Mass.
• The Taotie ignored Stick's warning and demanded half of the Energy Mass, while Spider and the Crystal Ancestor refused.
• The Taotie threatened to ruin their work and revealed that it had already been harmed by Heavenly Tilting Aura, but it sensed something in the Energy Mass that could resist some of its effects.

Taotie discovered that the enormous Energy Mass involved Heavenly Tilting karma and tried to seize it, but the cultivators and their Grand Monarch allies drove it away. Grand Monarch Bo Ping revealed why he had secretly supported the effort to save the heavens from tilting, and the group prepared to continue with his protection.

• Taotie sensed Heavenly Tilting karma in the Energy Mass and demanded forty percent, threatening to destroy it if the others refused.
• Little Sister challenged Taotie, and Deep Consciousness blocked its attack with a Mobius Ring manifestation.
• Taotie fled, but the Spider Grand Monarch tried to stop it while the rotten Grand Monarch promised to pursue and taint it.
• Three months later, the rotten Grand Monarch returned and said he had erased half of the Heavenly Tilting, then offered to protect the group.
• Grand Monarch Bo Ping introduced himself to Old Ancestor Taiyuan and explained that he had secretly watched and supported the effort because he could not bear others’ treatment of him.

Han Li and the others continued compressing the Energy Mass for Qu Jianlei while True Monarch Boping joined their effort and they planned to deal with Taotie. Later, Han Li asked True Monarch Kong Yu to help someone whose breakthrough had stalled, and Kong Yu hesitated as Han Li prepared to seek help in Lingyun.

• True Monarch Boping appeared, agreed to take over from Taiyuan Sea, and confirmed that few other True Monarchs in Lianxing World were likely to join Saving the Heavens from Tilting.
• Five years passed as the group compressed the Energy Mass to a million kilometers, and the young lady located Taotie's main body near the Tianfeng Realm.
• Qu Jianlei learned what had happened from Xiao Hu and focused on handling the work before him.
• Three years later, Han Li's avatar asked True Monarch Kong Yu to help someone on his spirit vein who had encountered an obstacle while attempting a breakthrough.
• Han Li told Kong Yu that True Monarch Boping had joined the effort, but Kong Yu warned him not to manipulate him and urged him to find his own elders.
• Han Li said involving his family elders might backfire, then decided to make a trip to Lingyun.

True Monarch Kong Yu helped Wenshi stabilize Duo Gan’s breakthrough, and Duo Gan entered the Out-of-Body Realm in a rare Frost Period that required her to correct flaws in her foundation. Meanwhile, Qu Jianlei’s group continued compressing the enormous Energy Mass, and an observer offered to reveal another location containing one if they explained their purpose.

• True Monarch Wenshi asked True Monarch Kong Yu to improve the vitality around Duo Gan on Jiuyou Island, and Kong Yu agreed while warning Wenshi to watch for problems.
• Duo Gan barely passed her breakthrough and entered the Frost Period, leaving her to spend an estimated one or two hundred years correcting her cultivation before fully stabilizing in the Out-of-Body Realm.
• True Monarch Wenshi and True Monarch Kong Yu discussed Duo Gan’s unusual breakthrough, and Wenshi warned Kong Yu that the person he was protecting had much greater cause and effect.
• Qu Jianlei received Big Head Butterfly’s message that Duo Gan had reached Out-of-Body with minor flaws, then turned his attention back to the work in the space.
• After the Energy Mass had been compressed to about one hundred thousand kilometers across, Deep Consciousness asked Taiyuan to help overcome its resistance, and the group warned nearby observers to leave.
• An observer asked why the group was compressing the Energy Mass, and Deep Consciousness said they intended to refine it because it contained a Silent Zone; the observer offered to identify another location if they explained their purpose.

While the group compressed a vast Energy Mass to counter Heavenly Tilting, True Monarch Wuchen learned that Han Li’s friend had recovered Great Venerable Wu Xuan’s Abode and Small Tripod. Wuchen agreed to stand guard, but as the long process continued, he grew increasingly curious about the hidden powers and plans surrounding Han Li.

• Mobius Ring told True Monarch Wuchen that the group planned to use the Energy Mass in Lianxing World, and Wuchen arrived to watch while agreeing to keep his distance.
• Han Li told Wuchen that Wu Xuan had died after battling a Flying Centipede, and explained that his friend had obtained Wu Xuan’s Abode and Small Tripod.
• Wuchen tried to investigate the group’s activities, sensed danger, and agreed to stand guard after Little Sister warned him that the Heavenly Tilting karma was serious.
• Three months later, the Spider Grand Monarch sent Wuchen to Cangwu Lower Realm to see the Small Tripod, while Wuchen offered to guide the group to Xinglu World once their current work was finished.
• Over the following years, the group slowly compressed the Energy Mass, and Han Li worried that Duo Gan could not endure the process much longer.
• Luo Fu reported that True Venerable Jing had entered the Out-of-Body Realm with help from True Monarch Kong Yu, whom Mobius Ring identified as his younger brother; Wuchen realized that Han Li had more powerful backers than he knew.

Qu Jianlei emerged after decades of being compressed inside the Energy Mass, having survived the ordeal and completed his mission. The others prepared for his recovery as the Stone continued to shrink.

• The Spider Grand Monarch announced that the Energy Mass had been compressed to about eight hundred kilometers and would emerge in five years, and Mobius Ring volunteered to seal it.
• True Monarch Boping and the Deep Consciousness pursued Taotie, forcing him to seek refuge near Yuxiu World, where its True Monarchs extracted a strand of his origin as a guarantee.
• When Boping and the Deep Consciousness returned, they learned that the Stone had shrunk further by absorbing energy on its own, while Qu Jianlei said Saving the Heavens from Tilting offered little reference for others.
• Qu Jianlei mentioned that Great Venerable Wu Xuan had left a damaged Ritual Artifact, but True Monarch Wuchen said it belonged to Wu Xuan rather than the sect.
• Two years later, the Stone trembled and Qu Jianlei's phantom appeared, thanking everyone for their help and saying he had completed his mission.
• Song Yue'er teased Qu Jianlei about his dangerous seclusion, and Xiaoyou asked whether he needed time to rest.

Qu Jianlei returned from the Maiden Star Region after refining the High-Dimensional Element, and several Great Monarchs gathered around him as he prepared to continue Saving the Heavens from Tilting. He warned them that more participants might make the task harder, leaving them to reconsider how closely they should get involved.

• Qu Jianlei drew the Stone into the space inside his body, while Crystal Ancestor chose to watch and protect his path.
• Qu Jianlei and the others returned to Houde, where his avatar briefly appeared in Cangwu Realm and Xiang Xue said the realm would have at least a hundred years of peace.
• Qu Jianlei gave the Small Tripod to True Monarch Wuchen, who examined it and said he was tracking a Silent Zone that might be found within ten years.
• Kong Yu arrived, praised Qu Jianlei's stronger foundation, and wished him success before leaving.
• Qu Jianlei told the Great Monarchs that more people participating in Saving the Heavens from Tilting could make it harder, and True Monarch Wenshi agreed that he had been right not to join rashly.

Qu Jianlei rested after years of strain, then entered Lianxing’s Heavenly Tilting region to study its aura and search for the hidden thread of vitality that could save the realm. He remained inside for more than half a year, and the observers outside worried that finding Sudden Enlightenment might require him to remove his protection.

• Mobius Ring provided a Small World where the True Venerables could rest, and Qu Jianlei slept for several years before sorting through his gains.
• Qu Jianlei suggested a trip to Lianxing, and the group entered the realm quietly with True Monarch Boping.
• Qu Jianlei raised a Karma Isolation Wall and entered the Decay Aura to compare Heavenly Tilting Aura with the Creation and Destruction he had grasped.
• Qu Jianlei analyzed the aura and concluded that high-dimensional rules were driving Lianxing toward its end.
• Qu Jianlei entered the Heavenly Tilting Point and searched for the hidden vitality, remaining there for more than half a year.
• True Monarch Boping and True Venerable Yueran judged that Qu Jianlei was searching for Sudden Enlightenment, while Han Wei worried he might have to remove his protection.

Qu Jianlei used streams of vitality to withstand the Heavenly Tilting Point and repeatedly enter Sudden Enlightenment, eventually sustaining the state by drawing on an insight from Senior Heng. The observers realized his progress was tied to a mysterious Master's Personal Instruction, but Little Sister warned them not to involve that existence in the heavenly tilt's karma.

• Han Li asked True Monarch Boping to tell Qu Jianlei that his junior sister was outside, and Qu Jianlei left the Heavenly Tilting Point before returning with Luo Fu.
• Qu Jianlei and Luo Fu remained at the Heavenly Tilting Point while Luo Fu covered him with her aura, but the effort initially produced no results.
• Qu Jianlei released streams of vitality toward Luo Fu, alarming the observers as he used hundreds of them to sense vitality and withstand the heavenly tilt.
• Qu Jianlei briefly entered Sudden Enlightenment, lost the state, then used more vitality and eventually maintained it after several attempts.
• Little Sister recognized Qu Jianlei's sustained state as a Master's Personal Instruction connected to Senior Heng, and warned True Monarch Boping not to ask who had imparted it.

After three months of Sudden Enlightenment, Qu Jianlei decided to absorb some Heavenly Tilting Aura so he could sense the High-Dimensional Element and search for a solution. Divination showed that the risky plan would require thousands of strands of vitality, and Qu Jianlei chose to proceed for three months despite Han Li’s concern.

• At the convergence of worlds, True Venerables noticed that the fusion was slowing, while experts outside the Maiden Star Region investigated spreading fluctuations that alarmed the Empire for years.
• After his Sudden Enlightenment ended, Qu Jianlei asked Mobius Ring to divine the consequences of absorbing Heavenly Tilting Aura, with Luo Fu lending her aura as protection.
• Qu Jianlei explained that he wanted to encounter the aura directly to sense the High-Dimensional Element and find a way to break the situation.
• Mobius Ring calculated that Qu Jianlei needed at least two thousand more strands of vitality for a seventy percent chance of expelling the aura within half a year, while True Monarch Boping would need fifty thousand strands to remove his own.
• Qu Jianlei told Han Li that he had over three thousand strands of vitality and planned to limit his exposure to three months, then seek another source of High-Dimensional Elements if necessary.

Qu Jianlei tested a new approach to extracting high-dimensional vitality from the Heavenly Tilting Point, spending much of his remaining life force before emerging with some progress but no complete solution. He warned that the next step might trigger Lianxing World's tribulation early, and left everyone considering how to proceed as he began sorting out unconventional methods.

• Qu Jianlei entered the Heavenly Tilting Point with Luo Fu, who let Decay Aura reach the back of his hand so he could attempt to transform it.
• Qu Jianlei spent more than eight hundred rays of life force to regain Sudden Enlightenment, then continued working inside the point for over a year as the observers tracked his consumption.
• Qu Jianlei sensed vitality and tried to guide out the Heavenly Tilting Point's high-dimensional vitality element, but left after setting a deadline and reported that he had made progress but it was not enough.
• Qu Jianlei said his next attempt might trigger the Heavenly Tilting early, and the gathered Great Monarchs and True Venerables discussed the risks and agreed they might have to trigger it ahead of schedule.
• Qu Jianlei said enough vitality could solve everything but was unrealistic, then concluded that saving the heavens sometimes required unconventional methods.

Qu Jianlei and the cultivators of Lianxing searched for ways to address the Heavenly Tilting, including attacks on higher dimensions and extracting vitality from Alien Races. They considered using Qu Jianlei’s Ritual Artifact, Giant Axe, to help Lianxing, but its willingness to bind to the Boundary Realm and the cultivators’ acceptance remained uncertain.

• Qu Jianlei rejected blood sacrifices and destroying worlds as solutions, then proposed finding a way to attack higher dimensions.
• Great Monarch Boping and two True Venerables of Lianxing warned cultivators against reckless experiments and asked them to consider how to damage higher dimensions.
• Song Yue'er said she could only participate in a True Venerable Battle Formation, prompting Qu Jianlei and the others to consider luring higher dimensions into the real dimension.
• When the ten-year deadline arrived, the group prepared to harvest another wave of vitality, and Great Monarch Boping’s party emerged from the Boundary Realm.
• Qu Jianlei proposed using a Ritual Artifact to extract vitality from sacrificed Alien Races, and True Monarch Boping suggested binding Giant Axe to Lianxing’s Boundary Realm.
• The Mobius Ring explained that Giant Axe might advance if it bound itself to Lianxing, but Qu Jianlei still had to persuade it and Lianxing’s cultivators had to accept it.

Qu Jianlei consulted Giant Axe about using its ritual artifact to help extract higher-dimensional vitality, but learned it could not bind itself to another world and might instead advance. The group entered another Silent Zone to compress its Boundary Realm and draw out vitality, leaving Qu Jianlei and several companions inside as the process began.

• Qu Jianlei asked Giant Axe whether it would bind itself to Lianxing World, and Violent Obsession explained that a ritual artifact shared its world’s fate and could not bind to another world again.
• Soldier Cultivator Obsession agreed that Giant Axe could help extract vitality, requested samples of higher-dimensional vitality for study, and revealed that the artifact might advance.
• Qu Jianlei reported Giant Axe’s answer, and Great Monarch Boping led the group with three additional True Venerables toward another Silent Zone.
• The group agreed to compress the Boundary Realm only enough to extract vitality, then reached the Silent Zone and entered after the Mobius Ring’s divination showed mostly low-level danger.
• Qu Jianlei, Han Li, the Mobius Ring, and Luo Fu remained inside the Boundary Realm as the others began compressing it.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li entered a strange passage discovered during the Boundary Realm’s compression and found a dim space containing the remains of powerful beings. The chapter left them facing a headless Great Shaman corpse whose lingering battle intent might be dangerous.

• After Mobius Ring divined an ominous result, Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Little Sister entered the strange passage while Mobius Ring maintained the compression outside.
• The group traveled through the passage for three days and emerged in a dim, pressure-heavy space where Han Li’s divine sense was restricted.
• Little Sister noticed something unusual, and the group found half of a Great Monarch of the Crystal Race’s enormous body; Little Sister took it away as a resource.
• Guided by the Creation Compass, Qu Jianlei led the group to a gigantic headless Human Race corpse, and the mysterious voice identified it as a Great Shaman.
• Little Sister explained that the Great Shaman was a War Shaman and warned that its lingering battle intent could endanger them; she suspected the Crystal Race remains belonged to its battle partner.

Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Little Sister discovered that a fallen War Shaman Great Monarch had left behind the passage and the opportunity mentioned by the Creation Compass. Qu Jianlei sacrificed higher-dimensional life aura to respectfully send off the corpse, received a vast gift of life force, and escaped with Han Li before the passage collapsed; afterward, the Deep Consciousness reported that compressing the Silent Zone had become easier.

• Han Li, Qu Jianlei, and Little Sister reasoned that the two dead True Monarchs had likely been War Shamans who tried to reach the Body-Integration Realm and break through the High-Dimensional Barrier.
• Qu Jianlei consulted the Ritual Artifact and divined that he should sacrifice something to respectfully send off the War Shaman Great Monarch; he offered a mass of higher-dimensional life aura.
• The War Shaman's corpse shrank and dissolved into green light, distributing life force among Han Li, Qu Jianlei, the little axe, and the Taiyuan paifang gate.
• Qu Jianlei absorbed tens of thousands of streams of life force and remained motionless for three days before recovering, though he said some of the gift still had to be used against Heavenly Tilting.
• Han Li and Qu Jianlei fled as the passage collapsed behind them, then learned from the Deep Consciousness that more than a month had passed and that the passage's disappearance had eased the difficulty of compressing the Silent Zone.

Qu Jianlei digested the War Shaman’s memories, then resumed producing life-force aura as Mobius Ring compressed the space around them. He and the Ritual Artifact began capturing high-dimensional elements together while Han Li struggled to endure the pressure and learn the process.

• Qu Jianlei explained the Silent Zone’s events to Mobius Ring, withholding the War Shaman’s final secret while confirming that he had gained memories related to the high-dimensional.
• After nearly a month of reflection, Qu Jianlei told Mobius Ring to accelerate the compression and began condensing life-force aura.
• Qu Jianlei warned Mobius Ring to withdraw his divine sense, while Han Li resolved to learn the method and monopolize life-force production with him.
• The Ritual Artifact offered to capture high-dimensional elements for a two-thirds share, and Qu Jianlei negotiated the share to three-quarters.
• Han Li endured the growing pressure as Xiaoyou and True Venerable Kunxiu discussed accelerating the compression, and the Ritual Artifact captured and delivered its first life-force element to Qu Jianlei.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li harvested vitality from the Ritual Artifact while studying higher dimensions, and Qu Jianlei accelerated the compression to help revive Hypocrite. The increased pressure strained them both, and Qu Jianlei sensed something surprising as the vitality yield reached 270 streams a day.

• After the Ritual Artifact's vitality capture rate declined, Qu Jianlei kept the compression steady and offered to take one stream in ten.
• Han Li learned to intercept and convert vitality, though his converted aura differed from Qu Jianlei's.
• Qu Jianlei studied the War Shaman Great Monarch's memories and learned that Hypocrite had not awakened, so he agreed to wait for him.
• Qu Jianlei raised the compression speed twice, and Han Li endured the growing pressure while continuing to convert vitality.
• The Ritual Artifact's daily vitality yield climbed past 200 streams and reached 270, when Qu Jianlei struggled and sensed something that surprised him.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li continued enduring the pressure while the Ritual Artifact gathered life force, and Qu Jianlei consulted the Heroic Spirits about when to stop and whether to pursue higher dimensions. After Qu Jianlei yielded the center position to Axe, Han Li learned to collect High-Dimensional Vitality Elements and turned his attention to contacting his outside clone.

• Qu Jianlei and Han Li endured the pressure together, while Qu Jianlei learned that the Ritual Artifact might need centuries of life force before it could reach higher dimensions.
• Cheap Senior Brother told Qu Jianlei that Hypocrite had awakened and that the Ritual Artifact could collect life force for at least another hundred years, perhaps seven or eight centuries.
• Qu Jianlei asked the Heroic Spirits when to stop and abandoned the plan to test contact with higher dimensions.
• Qu Jianlei's body turned illusory as Axe took the center position, and Han Li began trying to capture High-Dimensional Vitality Elements while resisting the pressure.
• After repeated failures, Han Li captured his first High-Dimensional Vitality Element, improved until he broke even, and spent the following months collecting one or two a day.
• Han Li stopped worrying about Qu Jianlei and Axe and began trying to contact his clone in the outside world.

Han Li and Giant Axe harvested a surge of Vitality Element after Qu Jianlei drew a dangerous disturbance toward himself with Deadly Silence Qi. The Silent Zone settled after nearly half a month, and Qu Jianlei admitted he planned to repeat the risky process twice more as an attractor for Higher Dimension forces.

• Han Li’s attempt to capture Vitality Element was interrupted when the Silent Zone trembled, and Qu Jianlei and Giant Axe entered the Soul-Splitting Palace for protection.
• Qu Jianlei released Deadly Silence Qi and drew the spreading fluctuations toward himself, where the Qi weakened them until the Silent Zone calmed.
• Han Li and Giant Axe emerged to collect the denser Vitality Element while Qu Jianlei warned them that the Higher Dimension’s counterattack was not over.
• The disturbance lasted nearly half a month, letting Han Li capture up to fifteen strands of vitality a day and Giant Axe more than a thousand.
• Han Li questioned Qu Jianlei about the incident, and Qu Jianlei explained that he had used the Silent Zone’s self-correcting ability and intended to repeat the process twice more.
• Qu Jianlei contacted Xiao Hu as the outside cultivators waited for news, and Spider reported that the disturbance could happen three times at least.
