• Li Wuyang accepted Glazed Buddhist Beads from the Light King Buddha and departed the Pure Glazed World with Qingwei and the others, intending to use the shell to awaken Xuan Nü’s deeper consciousness.

Li Wuyang’s return journey was interrupted when Xuan Nü awakened in his sea of consciousness and credited him with helping save her. She entered secluded cultivation, while the Inspector’s urgent message about the Star Law Officer’s remnants and the evil coffin set a new crisis in motion.

• As the Star Chaser traveled home, Li Wuyang monitored Xuan Nü’s crystal coffin while he and his companions cultivated and maintained the vessel.

• After Xuan Nü returned to the coffin, Yun Yi reported that the Inspector had sent an urgent message about the Star Law Officer’s remnants and the evil coffin’s movements.

The Inspector told Li Wuyang that the Star Law Officer’s remnants were regrouping alongside forces linked to the coffin, while the Stomach of the Glutton and unrest in the Tianshu Sword Sect added to the growing crisis. Li Wuyang agreed to represent the Immortal Boat at the Star Sea Council in three days, and Xuan Nü guided him as he prepared.

• Li Wuyang meditated on Xuan Nü’s guidance and prepared for the council.

• The Inspector opened the council and called on the star sea’s factions to unite against the evil coffin.
• The Ling Xiao Sword Master, representatives of ancient races, and a voice from the Stomach of the Glutton challenged the alliance proposal, while Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva requested clear rules and authority.

• Li Wuyang proposed a council of elders to make decisions jointly, and Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva pledged the Buddhist sect’s support.
• The Inspector called a recess for the factions to deliberate, while several shadowy auras faded away.

Li Wuyang helped establish the Star Sea Alliance, then gained a new insight into the possibilities of his Chaos Dao while returning aboard the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat. He set his sights on the Ruins of Annihilation as his next destination, while Xuan Nü continued her secluded cultivation.

• After Li Wuyang's victory over the Void Shadow Clan assassin, factions at the Star Sea Council became more willing to cooperate, and negotiations produced the Star Sea Joint Defense Pact.

• Li Wuyang left the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat alone after warning Yun Yi, Yue Liuli, and the Master of Qingwei Temple to stay behind and watch for surveillance.
• He crossed the Ruins of Annihilation, using his Chaos Domain and Annihilation Sword Intent to withstand the chaotic laws and destructive energy.
• Li Wuyang discovered the traces of an ancient war and followed the Heavenly Book’s pages to a floating island with a damaged altar.
