After Lin Zhen gathered more than a hundred Cosmic Crystals, the Azure Bee Gang surrounded them and demanded their crystals; Lin Zhen attacked, plunging both groups into battle.

Lin Zhen climbed the Judgment Platform, where increasing gravity tested the strength and endurance of everyone seeking the treasures left by Realm King Yan Jun. After reaching the ninetieth layer, he pushed on toward the ninety-first with Apollo and the remaining climbers, while two Star Level Nine experts fell to their deaths.

• Lin Zhen received Realm King Yan Jun’s message declaring the climbers sinners and challenging them to ascend the Judgment Platform to absolve their sins.
• Lin Zhen chose to climb toward the platform’s summit rather than bypass it to search for Cosmic Crystals, and discovered that gravity grew stronger with each layer.
• Lin Zhen climbed through the sixtieth, seventieth, and eightieth layers as most competitors fell behind, and he identified Apollo as his strongest rival.
• Lin Zhen used Half Armor Transformation to continue climbing, while Apollo’s Inscription Power and other climbers’ hidden abilities helped them accelerate.
• Lin Zhen reached the ninetieth layer among twenty climbers and pressed onward toward the ninety-first, prompting most of the others to follow.
• Two Star Level Nine experts fell from the Judgment Platform and died as Lin Zhen and Apollo continued climbing.

• After a month passed and most entrants had been eliminated, Lin Zhen adapted to the ninety-eighth level and decided to break through to Satellite Stage before climbing further.

Lin Zhen broke through to the Satellite Stage, reached the hundredth level of the Judgment Platform, and found the cover of Yan Jun’s Inheritance Golden Book but not its six technique pages. Believing the missing pages might be hidden at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he headed there across the Bloodstained Wasteland.

• With help from his clone, Armorization, and Starry Sky Crown, Lin Zhen resisted the Judgment Platform’s gravity and reached its hundredth level.
• Lin Zhen found Yan Jun’s Inheritance Golden Book, but discovered that its six pages containing Mental Evil Spirit Impact and Flash Strike were missing.
• Lin Zhen concluded the missing pages might be hidden somewhere in the Yellow Springs Underworld and set out for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Lin Zhen crossed the Bloodstained Wasteland, cutting down ghosts in his path, and approached the Six Paths of Reincarnation on the fourth day.

Lin Zhen sought Yan Jun's first Golden Paper sheet through the Dimensional Universe Company, but he needed far more Cosmic Crystals than he had. He entered the Asura Path to find more and was immediately surrounded by gangsters demanding his crystals.

• Lin Zhen learned that the Dimensional Universe Company could locate the first sheet of Yan Jun's Golden Paper for twenty million Cosmic Crystals, with half required as a deposit.

• A group of gangsters surrounded Lin Zhen and demanded that he hand over his Cosmic Crystals.

Lin Zhen defeated a gang of Dixin Qionglou robbers and a horde of Asura Warriors on Asura Path, then discovered a Spirit Race Dwarf hiding nearby. After striking the dwarf and sending him fleeing, Lin Zhen pursued him to bring him under control.

• The dwarf fled, and Lin Zhen chased after him to bring him under control.

Lin Zhen teamed up with the dwarf Nicole to find and excavate Cosmic Crystals across the Asura Path. After collecting ten million crystals for the Dimensional Universe Company and continuing their search, they headed toward the Asura King’s territory on the ninth day, where Tongtian Tower members were gathered.

• Lin Zhen subdued the dwarf, learned he could sense treasure locations, and agreed to cooperate with him.
• Nicole guided Lin Zhen to a rich Cosmic Crystal deposit, and they excavated and split nearly two million crystals evenly.
• Nicole told Lin Zhen that Tongtian Tower members were clearing a path toward the Asura King, and they agreed to approach the area around the eighth or ninth day.
• Over six days, Lin Zhen collected ten million Cosmic Crystals and gave them to the Dimensional Universe Company staff to search for the first page of the Golden Book.
• Lin Zhen and Nicole gathered another five million Cosmic Crystals over the next three days, then headed toward the Asura King’s territory on the morning of the ninth day.

Lin Zhen and Nicole secretly stole Cosmic Crystals from Tongtian Tower until Xuan Zhu lured them into a trap with a controlled decoy. Lin Zhen faced Xuan Zhu while Nicole was left to hold off more than a thousand attackers.

• Xuan Zhu discovered that Cosmic Crystals were repeatedly going missing and used a controlled man as bait to expose the thief.
• Lin Zhen attempted to control the decoy, but Xuan Zhu struck back with stronger Mental Power and forced Lin Zhen and Nicole out of hiding.

• Lin Zhen refused to return the stolen crystals, and Xuan Zhu ordered his men to attack Nicole while he fought Lin Zhen.
• Xuan Zhu interrupted Lin Zhen's attempt to Teleport and charged at him with a blade as Tongtian Tower's members rushed Nicole.

Lin Zhen fought Xuan Zhu to a standstill, but Xuan Zhu’s superior strength and Mental Power left him near defeat until the Qingluan Society intervened. Lin Zhen escaped with Nicole, while Xuan Zhu vowed to take revenge on the society after the Six Paths of Reincarnation ended.

• Lin Zhen blocked Xuan Zhu’s first seventeen blade strikes, then counterattacked with Phantom God Strike after surviving the eighteenth.
• Xuan Zhu trapped Lin Zhen’s spear with Xuan Tian Lock and attacked him with eight Flying Knives and the Huantian Scorpion’s Tail Needle.

• Lin Zhen and his clone scattered the Tongtian Tower members, rescued Nicole, and fled while the Qingluan Society held Xuan Zhu back.
• Xuan Zhu let them leave to avoid a conflict with the Qingluan Society and vowed to make its members pay after the World Stone ended.

Lin Zhen left the Asura Path with Nicole to buy the first part of Mental Evil Spirit Impact and information about the remaining Golden Papers. After discovering the technique let him absorb ghosts, he began clearing the River of Three Crossings so he could retrieve the second part.

• Lin Zhen borrowed Cosmic Crystals from Nicole and bought the first Golden Paper, then paid for the locations of the second and third parts and learned that the Asura King held the first part of Flash Strike.
• Lin Zhen returned with Nicole to the River of Three Crossings, where she waited at the Judgment Platform while he studied the first Golden Paper on the bridge.
• Lin Zhen used Innate Devour to draw low-level ghosts into his Mental Sea of Consciousness and destroyed them while resisting their negative emotions.
• After absorbing ghosts for seven hours, Lin Zhen used Black Hole Storm to sweep up stronger ghosts, including Star Stage, Black Hole Stage, and a distant Star System Stage ghost.

Lin Zhen reached the peak of Azure Sky-color Mental Power after absorbing the ghosts in the River of Three Crossings and found the second Golden Paper, but its violent negative energy pushed him toward madness. He entered the Animal Path to seek the third page, where his killing intent finally erupted against a band of independent Martial Artists.

• Lin Zhen spent a day absorbing ghosts and fought a Domain King-level ghost through the night, raising his Mental Power to ninety percent Azure Sky-color.
• Lin Zhen found the second Golden Paper beneath the bridge and learned that he needed the third page in the Ghost Dragon Nest to fully learn Mental Evil Spirit Impact.

• Lin Zhen gave Nicole the bandits’ Space Rings to sort, then studied Yan Jun’s complete Mental Evil Spirit Impact technique in the Golden Book.
• Lin Zhen learned how the technique used ghosts and Mental Power to exploit opponents’ flaws, and his Mental Power reached Azure Sky-color Peak at ninety percent.
• Lin Zhen left the Animal Path with Nicole and headed back to the Asura Path to rejoin the fight.
• Xuan Zhu, Apollo, and Tian Ci led their forces in defeating the Asura King, with Tian Ci delivering the final blow.

• Tian Ci left with his people after collecting his promised payment and reminded Xuan Zhu and Apollo of their agreement to eliminate the Qingluan Society.

Lin Zhen stole the Inheritance Golden Book and lured Xuan Zhu and Apollo into pursuing him. He defeated Xuan Zhu with his clone and a close-range mental attack, leaving Apollo as the remaining threat.
