• Luo Chen invited Bo Hanjun to stay and introduced himself as Luo Chen, also known as Pill Sect.

Luo Chen met Bo Hanjun, a loose cultivator who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm with one of Luo Chen’s Nascent Soul Pills, and invited him to attend the Mount Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly.

Luo Chen explained to Gu Cai Yi why he had to attack Heaven Origin Dao Sect and reclaim his missing Life Soul, while she pledged to stand by him. As the Shouyang Mountain Dao Discussion Assembly began, powerful guests gathered under Luo Tian Sect’s guard, and the arrival of Heaven Origin Dao Sect’s representatives chilled the welcome.

• Luo Chen told Gu Cai Yi that Heaven Origin Dao Sect had taken his Life Soul and that he needed to seize a treasure there to pursue Spirit Transformation before the sect could summon a power capable of threatening the Eastern Wasteland.

Luo Chen gathered the Eastern Wasteland’s Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss a Spirit Transformation opportunity, but instead revealed that he had secured Qixia Yuanjun’s approval for a thousand-year ceasefire with the Demon Race. The gathering turned hostile when representatives of the Heaven Origin Dao Sect accused him of colluding with demons.

• Wind Flower Immortal and Wind Moon Fairy arrived at Shouyang Hall and greeted Luo Chen, who congratulated Wind Moon on reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Nascent Soul cultivators from across the Eastern Wasteland gathered, including six from the White Deer Cave and two uninvited representatives of the Heaven Origin Dao Sect, Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting.

• Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting denounced Luo Chen for allegedly colluding with the Demon Race.

Luo Chen secured the Eastern Wasteland sects’ agreement to a thousand-year ceasefire and accepted the Luo Tian Sect’s role as their representative. He then offered Clarified Butter Pills in exchange for one favor, named the Heaven Origin Dao Sect as the target, and watched Taiyue True Person enter after stopping Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting’s escape.

• Luo Chen rejected Lian Buwei’s accusation of collusion with the Demon Race and argued that the Heaven Origin Dao Sect wanted the Eastern Wasteland to bear the cost of its conflicts.

• Bo Hanjun declared that he would offer Luo Chen his full support.

• Luo Chen worried that Li Canghai and Qing Shuang might not join the attack, then equipped Canglong with the White Tiger Puppet and Tier 4 Talismans.
• Luo Chen gave Gu Cai Yi the Five Elements Sword Pellets and ordered her to rescue the Zhou Family from the Southern Heaven Continent during the attack.
• The conference attendees swore a Great Dao Oath, received two years to prepare, and heard Luo Chen promise protection for their sects; news of the Human-Demon Ceasefire Treaty spread across the Eastern Wasteland.
• Luo Chen infiltrated the Eastern Origin Continent during the Sexagenary Grand Competition and watched his avatar, Zhou Fuyou, compete before leaving the Lanke Mountain Range.
• Luo Chen waited by the Passing River, where Li Canghai joined him and said they should attack in one year, when Heaven Origin Dao Sect’s Nascent Soul experts would be guarding the formation nodes.

Zhou Fuyou won his match at the Sexagenary Grand Competition but remained troubled by a strange sense of danger. Meanwhile, Luo Chen and Li Canghai investigated the God Descending Formation on Heaven and Earth Island, where Old Ancestor Liancheng opened the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven and admitted a group that included Zhou Fuyou.

• Zhou Fuyou encountered Luo Chen and Li Canghai from afar but returned to the Lanke Mountain Range without approaching them.
• Luo Chen and Li Canghai examined the God Descending Formation and concluded they should disrupt Central Province's reunification when the formation began activating, then attack Old Ancestor Liancheng during the backlash.
• After a month of observing Heaven and Earth Island, Luo Chen and Li Canghai saw a group of cultivators, including Zhou Fuyou, arrive at the island.
• Old Ancestor Liancheng opened a passage through space and told the arrivals that Ke Lianshan was waiting inside, and Luo Chen recognized the opening as the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Zhou Fuyou entered the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, defeated a Fourth Order Flood Dragon Phantom Beast, and began cultivating as Luo Chen uncovered the likely purpose behind the secret realm’s unusual opening. Meanwhile, Eastern Wasteland’s human and demon forces set out together for Eastern Origin Continent as war erupted elsewhere.

• Uncle-Master Li explained the cave heaven’s accelerated time, warned the disciples about powerful phantom beasts, and told Zhou Fuyou that another opportunity awaited when it reopened.
• Zhou Fuyou claimed Three Stacks Waterfall by defeating its Fourth Order Flood Dragon Phantom Beast and took its Illusion Core while Gu Muyu watched before withdrawing.
• Zhou Fuyou discovered a naturally formed cave abode and began cultivating toward Golden Core Great Perfection and the Nascent Soul Stage.

• Deng Taiyue gathered the Eastern Wasteland’s human and demon cultivators, and Cang Long carried them across the sea on the Nether Dark Turtle toward Eastern Origin Continent.
• A new Human-Demon War erupted in the Northern Sea, while the Chanting Monk left Raging Sea Ruined City and a blood-red light burst into the sky.

Zhou Fuyou formed his Nascent Soul by facing the Heavenly Tribulation alone and absorbing the Transformation Thunder Turtle’s power into Sky Floating Qi Sea. During his breakthrough, his Nascent Soul discovered a sealed spring within his body, which opened after he returned to his flesh and flooded him with immense power.

• Zhou Fuyou felt his Spirit Fetus stir and began Nascent Soul Formation without using any prepared resources.
• Zhou Fuyou passed the first two rounds of Heavenly Tribulation, then used the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl and Ming Water to bind and absorb the Transformation Thunder Turtle.
• Zhou Fuyou shattered his Golden Core, formed a Nascent Soul, and used the Spiritual Opportunity in the Tier 4 Illusion Core to perceive the laws of the world.
• Senior Brother Ke recognized that Zhou Fuyou had formed his Nascent Soul and sent Uncle-Master Li to invite him to help activate the Rotten Ke Go Board Spirit Treasure.
• Uncle-Master Li left a message rather than disturb Zhou Fuyou, whose Nascent Soul discovered a sealed spring containing Water Source within his body.
• The spring’s seal collapsed when Zhou Fuyou’s Nascent Soul returned to his body, granting him vast power that dispersed the rain clouds with a word.

After spending decades mastering the Ming Water Spring Eye and reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Zhou Fuyou agreed to offer a wisp of his Life Soul to the Rotten Ke Go Board so he could help the Heaven Origin Dao Sect reunite Central Province. The Life Soul retrieval triggered an unexpected reaction: the spring eye seized control of his Nascent Soul Infant, leaving Zhou Fuyou with cold, devouring eyes.

• Zhou Fuyou spent decades cultivating, discovered that the spring eye was formed from pure Ming Water True Essence, and gained some control over it as his realm rose to the Nascent Soul Stage.
• Zhou Fuyou met Gu Muyu at a medicinal garden in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, learned that Gu Yuan had planted its ten-thousand-year-old herbs, and considered how his Zhou Family could plan for the future.
• Martial Uncle Li brought Zhou Fuyou to Ke Lianshan, who revealed that the Rotten Ke Go Board would help gather the power needed to reunite the four landmasses as Central Province.
• Ke Lianshan took a wisp of Zhou Fuyou's Life Soul to link him to the Spirit Treasure, and Zhou Fuyou collapsed as an unexpected feeling of fullness came over him.
• After Martial Uncle Li left Zhou Fuyou to rest, the Ming Water Spring Eye boiled, enveloped the Nascent Soul Infant in golden light, and imposed its will on him.

Luo Chen prepared to attack Heaven Origin Dao Sect, planting the Million Fiend Soul Banner beneath Sitting-Forgetfulness Peak before the Sky Gathering Continents Formation began drawing the three continents together. As the Dao Sect responded to a demon beast assault on Northern Departure, Fu Qinglan learned that the Zhou Family of White Egret Marsh had begun relocating and went to investigate.

• Luo Chen assigned Tian Xuan to watch the route between Eastern Origin and Northern Departure and warn his allies to retreat if reinforcements moved in.

Luo Chen launched the assault on the Dao Sect Ancestral Court, where his strike shattered Sitting-Forgetfulness Peak and awakened a terrifying Ghost God as Eastern Wasteland cultivators invaded Eastern Origin Continent.

• Li Canghai fled after warning Luo Chen, but Luo Chen charged through the breach in the formation as the True Lord’s descent became imminent.

He used the sword Yuan Tu to split Heaven and Earth Island, then pointed it at Liancheng and vowed to kill every Heaven Origin Great Power.
