• Bai Mei Ling told Luo Chen that Chu Kui had been asking to see him, so Luo Chen immediately set out for Chu Kui’s cave residence.

Luo Chen learned that Chu Kui had reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection but could advance the Locked Pearl Curtain secret technique only to thirty-six Spirit Pearls, forcing him to attempt Core Formation before the pearls destabilized his Qi Sea.

Luo Chen watched Chu Kui fail to form a Golden Core because foreign mana from an ancient Golden Core had corrupted his cultivation, then saved his life at the cost of his realm. After Wind Moon Fairy warned him not to sell Jade Dew Pills beyond the Ice Fortress, Luo Chen withdrew from the Luo Tian Association’s affairs and entered seclusion determined to form his own core.

He learned that the Founding War had begun and that Sky Wave Immortal City would soon pass fully to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, leaving his access to its Third-Order Cave Mansion uncertain.

• Luo Chen chose the incomplete Burning Wood True Art over the Flourishing Green One Heart Art so he could cultivate both Wood and Fire and better use his Wither Bloom Fire.
• Luo Chen spent a year cultivating the Burning Wood True Art, then planned to consolidate his realm, remove Qin Tairan’s Divine Sense imprint from the iron ring, and improve his self-created methods.
• The allied forces of twenty-seven sects began preparations to clear Jade Cauldron Domain and open routes into the Howling Moon Mountain Range for the Founding War.

After Wang Yuan questioned whether Luo Chen had become too attached to building the sect, Luo Chen defended his bonds and responsibilities, then entrusted Wang Yuan and Sima Hui Niang with safeguarding the techniques; he left the pavilion feeling ready to climb higher.

• Luo Chen deposited his accumulated books and cultivation methods in the Library Pavilion, including complete Tier 3 methods for the Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements.
• Luo Chen gave Wang Yuan a revised Myriad Paths Convergence and explained how its body-tempering principles might help Wang Yuan and his disciple Zeng Yilong.

In the bridal chamber, he gave Gu Cai Yi and Sima Hui Niang Nether Origin Pills as betrothal gifts before turning his attention back to them.

• Luo Chen said he would visit Azure Pill Valley in half a month after forming the alliance, then asked the sect to assist the Luo Tian Alliance if it encountered trouble in the Founding War.

Luo Chen studied Azure Pill Valley’s Primal Chaos Cauldron method and resolved to forge it as his Natal Magic Treasure, then prepared for a three-party alliance meeting on Danxia Peak. The meeting opened with tension when Luo Chen introduced Fu Jiusheng as a guest elder of Luo Tian Sect, leaving the other leaders uncertain about who would lead the alliance.

• Luo Chen gave Chen Shuyi and Fu Xiu Xiu Jade Dew Pills and arranged for Gu Cai Yi to provide them with Low-Grade Magic Treasures before they left.
• Luo Chen concluded that the Primal Chaos Cauldron suited his Alchemy Dao, assessed the materials he had and still needed, and copied its required arrays for Min Longyu to study.

• Luo Chen and Fu Jiusheng, Cen Qiusheng, Di Wuqi, and Jiang Yu signed the Profound Yellow Heaven Earth Contract, pledging to support one another and their forces during the Founding War.

• Luo Chen revealed his Source True Fire, and Qing Danzi confirmed that his Great Accomplishment Wither Bloom Fire had become a Fourth Order unusual fire.
• Luo Chen asked Qing Danzi what he needed to do to help refine the Nascent Soul Pill.

Luo Chen reviewed his Golden Core cultivation, identified his need for better resources and a Natal Magic Treasure, and went to the Grand Pill Institute to prepare for refining a Nascent Soul Pill. There, Qing Danzi taught him a secret art for refining magic treasures, while Luo Chen’s stamina surprised the other Golden Core cultivators; he then asked Danyangzi to speak with him.

• Luo Chen examined his Attribute Panel and assessed his slow cultivation, advancing physique, and the resources he needed to pursue next.
• Luo Chen visited the Grand Pill Institute, noticed Xuan Yunzi He Yun’s body possession, and learned that Azure Pill Valley planned to use an array of cauldrons and alchemists to refine a Nascent Soul Pill.
• Qing Danzi taught Luo Chen a secret art that used Source True Fire to refine a Magic Treasure twice as fast, and Luo Chen began refining his assigned Sub-Cauldron.
• After several days, Luo Chen endured the refining process as long as Qingyunzi, surprising him and Danyangzi with his strength.
• Luo Chen asked Danyangzi if they could talk before leaving the hall.

Luo Chen traded with Danyangzi for materials to forge his Primal Chaos Cauldron, then joined Azure Pill Valley’s attempt to refine a Nascent Soul Pill. After twelve failures, Sky Sail City arrived outside Yuanhua Mountain while the latest attempt was underway.

• Luo Chen bought three pieces of Geng Metal, five pieces of Black Sinking Wood, and three pounds of Source Mud from Danyangzi, leaving only Fire Spirit Diamond among the cauldron’s primary materials still missing.
• Three months later, Qing Danzi summoned Luo Chen and the other alchemists to Inner Core Valley, where Azure Pill Valley began refining a Nascent Soul Pill.
• Luo Chen recognized Qingyunzi’s Azure Sun Demonic Fire and Qing Danzi’s Pill Fire as the alchemists warmed their cauldrons and processed the medicinal materials.
• The first pill-refining attempt failed, and Qing Danzi continued directing the team through repeated attempts until twelve had failed and the valley’s Spirit Land advanced to Tier 3.
• Tao Wan and four other Golden Core Immortals took to the sky as Azure Pill Valley activated its Mountain Protection Great Array against an approaching enemy.
• A nine-story palace observatory belonging to Sky Sail City arrived outside Yuanhua Mountain, and a voice from within told Azure Pill Valley to carry on with its pill refining.

Tao Wan faced the arrival of three Nascent Soul True Persons as Qing Danzi pushed ahead with a final attempt to refine the Nascent Soul Pill. The cauldron exploded, killing most of the Second-Order Alchemists and leaving Qing Danzi to claim that he had saved Azure Pill Valley and its Mother Cauldron.

• Tao Wan recognized Hu Yanzhuo and feared that Tianyezi had come to Azure Pill Valley in his Wind Thunder Palace.
• Cloud Crane True Person arrived with his wife, and Qing Danzi invited both groups into the valley.
• Luo Chen noticed the pressure on Qing Danzi as he ordered the Pill Refiners to combine all seven remaining batches of materials.
• Cloud Crane True Person considered recruiting Luo Chen, but Tianyezi warned him not to set his sights on the Pill Dust Master.
• After ten days, Qing Danzi began forming the Nascent Soul Pill, but the cauldron exploded and killed twenty-one of the thirty Second-Order Alchemists.
• Qing Danzi saved the Mother Cauldron, while Tianyezi and Cloud Crane True Person departed and Qing Danzi declared that he had saved the sect.

Luo Chen reflected on Qing Danzi’s failed attempt to refine the Nascent Soul Pill and concluded that the calamity may have freed Azure Pill Valley from threats on several fronts. Back at the Luo Tian Sect, he learned the Founding War had stalled after a Wolf Emperor united the Howling Moon Mountain Range’s wolf tribes, and he chose to prepare while the allied forces built an immortal city.

• Luo Chen parted from Tao Wan, who returned to Azure Pill Valley grieving over Qing Danzi’s loss.
• Aboard his flying boat, Luo Chen considered why Qing Danzi had failed and reasoned that the attempt might have broken Azure Pill Valley’s deadlock by reducing its rivals’ hostility.
• Luo Chen returned to the Luo Tian Sect and heard from Sima Hui Niang and Xing Zonghan that the Founding War had produced only minor skirmishes.
• Xing Zonghan explained that a transformed Wolf Emperor had united seventeen wolf tribes and stopped the allied army after it advanced eight thousand li.
• Luo Chen learned the Fallen Cloud Sect was building a vast immortal city on a captured Third-Order Spirit Land and planned to gather the land’s Spirit Veins.
• Luo Chen decided to enter short-term seclusion to refine the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel and improve his spells while the immortal city was being completed.

After breaking the Divine Sense restriction on Qin Tairan’s Storage Ring, Luo Chen found the Flame Alliance elder’s enormous hoard and summoned his companions to inventory it for the Luo Tian Sect. The inheritance restored Luo Chen’s wealth and yielded valuable cultivation resources and potential new weapons, while he planned how to use them and discovered a gourd of Wither Bloom True Evil that could strengthen his Blazing Fire Miasma.

• Luo Chen perfected Limb Regeneration Art, Kusanagi Gengjin Sword Art, Soul Bewitching Art, and Flower Fairy, which sent Mirror Flower Water Moon’s proficiency surging.
• Luo Chen unlocked Qin Tairan’s Storage Ring after nearly eleven years and found it packed with Spirit Stones and resources.
• Luo Chen summoned Sima Hui Niang, Gu Cai Yi, Duan Feng, and Min Longyu to sort and record Qin Tairan’s legacy for the Luo Tian Sect.

• Luo Chen identified a gourd of Wither Bloom True Evil and realized he could refine it into his destroyed Blazing Fire Miasma using his Source True Fire.

Luo Chen distributed the Flame Alliance treasury's treasures among himself and his companions, inspected Luo Tian Sect's leaders, and arranged resources to support their cultivation. With the Crimson Flame Dragon Boat loaded and his sect ready, he departed Scarlet Clouds for his old homeland, Howling Moon.

• Luo Chen inventoried the Flame Alliance's treasury, took materials for forging the Primal Chaos Cauldron and other valuable items, and let his companions choose their shares.
• Sima Hui Niang accepted the Mystic Iron Ring for Luo Tian Sect, while Luo Chen kept the Crimson Flame Dragon Boat after learning his companions had saved it for him.
• Luo Chen inspected Sima Hui Niang, Min Longyu, Gu Cai Yi, and Duan Feng, then allocated High-Grade Rising Dragon Pills to Duan Feng and ordered the Micro Dust Origin Art kept secret if Wang Yuan completed it.
• Sima Hui Niang told Luo Chen that the Fallen Cloud Sect's super immortal city was nearly complete.
• One month later, Luo Chen boarded the Crimson Flame Dragon Boat with Xu Huanzhen and Yuan Xiaoyue and departed Scarlet Clouds for Howling Moon.

Luo Chen arrived at You Bai Mountain, where he resolved the Heavenly Blade Sect’s claim by offering Song Mi another Second-Order Spirit Land at Yi Hua Mountain. He sent Kang Dongyue’s family to claim it, but the plan brought him into a confrontation with Yu Rou’s allied families, and the chapter ended with Yu Rou recognizing Luo Chen and greeting him as Senior Pill Dust Master.

• Luo Chen arrived at You Bai Mountain aboard the Crimson Flame Dragon Boat and learned from Feng Xia that the Heavenly Blade Sect wanted a share of the mountain’s business.
• Song Mi boarded Luo Chen’s boat, and the two Golden Core cultivators parted amicably after agreeing that Song Mi would wait for Luo Chen at Mount Tai Market.
• Luo Chen assured Kang Xian Qiong that her family could move to You Bai Mountain and asked Kang Dongyue to claim Yi Hua Mountain for the Heavenly Blade Sect.
• Yu Rou warned her two business partners that a Golden Core Immortal had come to Mount Tai Market, then faced Kang Dongyue’s forces as they surrounded Yi Hua Mountain.
• Luo Chen arrived above Yi Hua Mountain aboard the dragon boat, and Yu Rou recognized him before formally greeting him as Senior Pill Dust Master.

Luo Chen settled his old grievance with Yu Rou at Yi Hua Mountain, then arranged support and resources for the Luo Tian Sect before arriving at Broken Moon Immortal City. Seeing the vast city built amid the Founding War, he suspected the Fallen Cloud Sect had used the conflict to create a powerful commercial hub and ordered his boat to enter.

• Luo Chen declined Yu Rou’s offer of Yi Hua Mountain, but Kang Dongyue’s allies withdrew, leaving Yu Rou to surrender the mountain to Kang’s forces.
• Luo Chen struck Yu Rou’s Emerald Feather White Eagle with a Palm Seal, spared her, and claimed the beast as an apology for the battle on Gaoling Plain.
• Luo Chen arranged for the Kang Family to receive a share of Heavenly Blade Sect’s business, while telling Song Mi that the Luo Tian Sect sought a Third-Order Spirit Vein and might need his help.
• Luo Chen gave the Emerald Feather White Eagle to Xu Huanzhen to support his work overseeing the Luo Tian Sect’s branch and demon beast trade.
• Luo Chen traveled past newly established Marketplaces to Broken Moon Immortal City, suspected the Fallen Cloud Sect had deliberately used the Founding War to build it, and ordered the Crimson Flame Dragon Boat to enter.

Luo Chen arrived at Broken Moon Immortal City and learned that the Luo Tian Alliance was competing for ownership of its prime shops. He negotiated a share of the profits for Wang Yuan, then watched as the alliance began its challenge for a better-ranked shop.

• Luo Chen entered Broken Moon Immortal City with Xu Huanzhen and met Zeng Yilong, praising his progress in martial cultivation and giving him a bottle of Blood Increasing Pills.
• Zeng Yilong told Luo Chen that the shop ownership duels had begun early, so Luo Chen hurried to the Jade Cauldron Dao Discussion Stage.
• Luo Chen found Di Wuqi, Jiang Yu, Cen Qiusheng, and Fu Jiusheng, then objected that Wang Yuan had been left to fight after the other families' challengers were defeated or injured.
• After learning Wang Yuan wanted to fight for Divine Wind Gale Force, Luo Chen secured an agreement that the three families would give Wang Yuan ten percent of Eighth Shop's profits if the alliance won it.
• The Luo Tian Alliance began its challenge against Returning Pearl Pavilion, and Cen Guangwei took the stage to face the Silver-Ranked Assassin Wu Gou.
