• Feng Jiutian returned to Xuandu City after seeking enlightenment at the edge of Mirror Flower Water Moon, and Qin Wang recognized that he had gained insight.
• As Qin Wang, Wu Su, Wanyan Meng, and Feng Jiutian waited for Zhu Jingtian, a black shadow raced toward them and made Qin Wang wary.

Qin Wang learned that Zhu Jingtian had brought a group of Integration Stage Experts who wanted to join his faction. He agreed to take them in after they pledged to reach the Immortal Realm within ten years, leaving the group energized and wary of his influence.

• Feng Jiutian, Wu Su, and the others prepared for a possible attack when a large group approached, but Qin Wang recognized Zhu Jingtian among them and ruled out betrayal.

After founding the Interception Sect and taking the title Tongtian Sect Master, Qin Wang returned to the Wu Family Sword Domain to undergo tribulation. His forbidden name provoked a terrifying heavenly tribulation, while the wounded Huang Tianwudi secretly sent Huang Tianen to observe without intervening.

• Qin Wang named his faction the Interception Sect and declared himself the Tongtian Sect Master, sensing an unseen aura grow hostile.
• Qin Wang led Gongsun Zhengyang, Zhu Jingtian, and the others through a teleportation passage to the Wu Family Sword Domain, where he intended to undergo tribulation.
• Dark clouds and thunder filled the sky as a powerful tribulation containing the Power of Rules gathered over Qin Wang, and he told the others to move away.
• Wu Su and Wanyan Meng worried about Qin Wang but held back from helping, while the others fled from the tribulation.
• Huang Tianwudi, secretly recovering from grave injuries, sensed the disturbance and ordered Huang Tianen to observe the Wu Family Sword Domain without acting or being discovered.

Huang Tianen was ordered to investigate the approaching Power of Rules while powerful figures gathered at the edge of the Nine Provinces and discussed its eruption. At the Wu Family Sword Domain, Qin Wang faced a Rule Lightning Tribulation that formed a blood-colored humanoid, leaving everyone wondering whether he could survive.

• Huang Tianwudi ordered Huang Tianen to investigate the Power of Rules without being discovered, and Huang Tianen reluctantly agreed.
• Powerful figures guarding an unknown place at the edge of the Nine Provinces sensed the Power of Rules erupting toward Central Province and fell silent when a voice commanded them to stop talking.
• At the Wu Family Sword Domain, Wanyan Meng explained to Wu Su that Qin Wang was facing a Rule Lightning Tribulation capable of killing even Great Ascension Stage experts.
• Wanyan Meng reassured Wu Su that Qin Wang could escape into Mirror Flower Water Moon if he could not withstand the tribulation.
• The tribulation cloud released countless bolts of lightning that formed a blood-colored humanoid wielding a spear, and Feng Jiutian, Zhu Jingtian, and the others feared its power might reach the Immortal Realm.

Qin Wang fought the blood-colored humanoid sent by the rules to force him to disband the Interception Sect. After trading blows and taking heavy injuries, he invoked the Heaven Escaping Sword, leaving the battle poised to continue.

• Huang Tianen and other hidden observers watched as the blood-colored humanoid demanded that Qin Wang disband the Interception Sect.
• Qin Wang raised his Star Body Tempering Method to its tenth stage and formed the Qingping Sword from thirty-six Azure Nether Small Swords.
• The blood-colored humanoid smashed Qin Wang into the ground and warned him to put down the Qingping Sword or die.
• Qin Wang guessed that the humanoid's power was limited, activated the Heaven and Earth Dao Script for strength, and fought it blow for blow.
• The blood-colored humanoid remained unharmed while Qin Wang was badly wounded, so he named his next sword the Heaven Escaping Sword.

Qin Wang used the Heaven Escaping Sword against the Blood-colored Humanoid, but the clash left him exhausted and facing the enemy’s spear. He then poured the power of the “Illusion” Heaven and Earth Dao Script into the Qingping Sword, which pierced the Blood-colored Humanoid as its spear reached his glabella.

• Qin Wang unleashed the Heaven Escaping Sword, and the Blood-colored Humanoid revealed its Heavenly Immortal Realm strength to meet it.
• The Qingping Sword and the Blood-colored Humanoid’s spear collided, shaking the Great Dao Rules and alerting powerful cultivators across Central Province.
• Huang Tianwudi realized that Qin Wang’s battle in the Wu Family Sword Domain could bring trouble to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, while a monster in the mountains decided to flee and report Qin Wang’s inheritance.
• The Blood-colored Humanoid knocked the Qingping Sword away, exhausted Qin Wang’s strength, and demanded that he submit or die.
• Qin Wang used the “Illusion” Heaven and Earth Dao Script to empower the Qingping Sword, which pierced the Blood-colored Humanoid’s glabella as its spear reached Qin Wang’s glabella.

Qin Wang survived the Blood-colored Humanoid’s attack, while Huang Tianwudi used a brief gap in the Ten Thousand Races’ rules to hunt spies across the Nine Provinces. The chapter ended with Qin Wang calling for whoever was still hiding in the Wu Family Sword Domain to come out.

• The Blood-colored Humanoid praised Qin Wang’s sword before its spear struck his head harmlessly, and it dissipated along with the Blood-colored Tribulation Cloud.
• Huang Tianwudi sensed that the Ten Thousand Races’ rules had been broken and seized the resulting ten-breath gap to scan the Nine Provinces for spies.
• Huang Tianwudi killed the spies he found across the Nine Provinces, including the monster that had devoured everyone in the Wu Family.
• The hidden cultivators at the Nine Provinces’ border learned that Huang Tianwudi had acted during the brief gap in the rules, while Huang Tianwudi coughed blood and hoped the Human Race would regain its former strength.
• Qin Wang called for the hidden presence in the Wu Family Sword Domain to reveal itself, and Wu Su, Wanyan Meng, Feng Jiutian, and Zhu Jingtian gathered around him to guard against danger.

After surviving his tribulation, Qin Wang confronted experts who had been spying nearby, killing one and collecting compensation from the others. He discovered Prince En Huang Tianen had also been hiding, but refused his hundred million spirit stones and demanded the Evolving Dragon Pool instead.

• Gongsun Zhengyang and the other Integration Stage Experts gathered around Qin Wang to guard against hidden observers.
• Qin Wang exposed a cloaked spy and killed him when he challenged Qin Wang's remaining strength; the Five Ghosts devoured the spy's Soul Power.

• Qin Wang located Huang Tianen, who emerged and offered a hundred million spirit stones to buy his life.
• Qin Wang returned Huang Tianen's Storage Ring and demanded the Evolving Dragon Pool.

Qin Wang agreed to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool after Huang Tianen offered to buy his treasures at a premium. The daily intel revealed the pool could help Qin Wang comprehend Heaven and Earth Manifestation, while the Ten Thousand Races and the Witch Clan began responding to his survival of the Rule Lightning Tribulation.

• Huang Tianen discovered Qin Wang was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and offered to buy his Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for at least one hundred and ten million spirit stones per Storage Ring.
• Feng Jiutian warned Qin Wang that Huang Tianen's offer seemed suspicious, but Qin Wang said the truth would become clear the next day.
• Qin Wang read the daily intel and learned that the Dragon Transformation Pool could help him comprehend Heaven and Earth Manifestation and advance into Spirit Transformation.
• Qin Wang learned that the Ten Thousand Races had sensed the shattered Rule Lightning Tribulation and were convening a council, while the Witch Clan Patriarch had sent Jiu Zi to find him.
• Qin Wang learned that Huang Tianwudi was severely injured and that Huang Tianen was gathering treasures to make powerful one-use magic artifacts, then wondered what secret the two men were hiding.

Feng Jiutian arranged for Bai Fenghuan to travel to Tiandu Imperial City to build relations with the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, while Qin Wang learned that Jiu Zi might be an Ancient Great Power’s reincarnation. After hearing Wanyan Meng’s story, Houtu Wan’er asked to follow Qin Wang, even as his maid.

• Feng Jiutian saw Jiu Zi and Houtu Wan’er with Qin Wang and sent a message to the Phoenix Yao Holy Land about Bai Fenghuan.

• Qin Wang agreed that he might be able to help Jiu Zi, though he did not give a definite answer.
• Wanyan Meng explained how she had become undead, and Houtu Wan’er asked Qin Wang if she could follow him, even as a maid.

Qin Wang brought Houtu Wan'er and the others to Tiandu Imperial City to cultivate in the Dragon Transformation Pool and study the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s orderly governance. At the city gates, Phoenix Yao Holy Land’s Bai Fenghuan arrived with a grand procession, prompting Wu Su to remind everyone that she was Qin Wang’s childhood sweetheart.

• Houtu Wan'er agreed to follow Qin Wang as his maid, but Wu Su, Wanyan Meng, and Jiu Zi objected, so Qin Wang changed the subject and invited her to join the trip to Tiandu.
• Qin Wang explained that the Dragon Transformation Pool could help Houtu Wan'er but not Jiu Zi, who had already reached Mid Spirit Transformation.
• Qin Wang led the group into Tiandu on foot so he could inspect the city’s orderly management and consider lessons for the Interception Sect.
• Feng Jiutian contacted Feng Huimin, who prepared Bai Fenghuan to make her entrance in Tiandu.
• Bai Fenghuan arrived at the city gates on a white phoenix and was welcomed by a ceremonial guard as Qin Wang and the others watched from the crowd.
• Wanyan Meng recognized the scene, and Wu Su pointed out that Bai Fenghuan was Qin Wang’s childhood sweetheart.

Bai Fenghuan and Feng Huimin arrived at the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s capital, where the crowd mistook their visit as an attempt to court the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince welcomed Bai Fenghuan, but she avoided his attempt to take her hand, angering the crowd while Qin Wang watched with a faint smile.

• Jiu Zi and Houtu Wan'er suspected that Phoenix Yao Holy Land’s arrival was meant for Qin Wang, while Feng Jiutian realized Feng Huimin had misunderstood his intentions.
• Onlookers assumed Bai Fenghuan had come to pursue the Ninth Prince, and Feng Jiutian put away a talisman after Qin Wang’s gaze warned him not to send a message.
• Feng Huimin believed the Ninth Prince’s welcome showed respect for Phoenix Yao Holy Land, while Bai Fenghuan simply thought he was being polite.
• The Ninth Prince praised Bai Fenghuan as the most beautiful woman in the Nine Provinces and reached for her hand, but she stepped aside.
• The crowd condemned Bai Fenghuan for avoiding the Ninth Prince, while Qin Wang smiled and Feng Jiutian took it as a sign that Bai Fenghuan still had a chance.

Bai Fenghuan reunited with Qin Wang in Heavenly Capital, prompting Feng Huimin to challenge their connection and warn Qin Wang that he was unworthy of her. The Ninth Prince then tried to recruit Qin Wang, unaware that the cloaked figures beside him included Feng Jiutian and others who knew better than to take his offer seriously.

• Bai Fenghuan ran from the Ninth Prince to Qin Wang and grabbed his arm, delighting at their unexpected reunion.
• Bai Fenghuan explained that she had come to build ties between Phoenix Yao Holy Land and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
• Feng Huimin demanded that Bai Fenghuan leave with her and warned Qin Wang against pursuing the Holy Maiden.
• Feng Huimin declared Qin Wang unworthy of Bai Fenghuan and said the Ninth Prince was a suitable match.
• The Ninth Prince offered to take Qin Wang into his service in exchange for wealth and status, while Feng Jiutian and the others concealed their laughter beneath their cloaks.

Wu Su’s attack exposed the Ninth Prince’s recklessness, and Qin Wang used the confrontation to secure Huang Tianen’s intervention. Huang Tianen confined the Ninth Prince and then invited Qin Wang and his group to the Dragon Transformation Pool.

• Wu Su struck at the Ninth Prince but deliberately left him alive, frightening and disheveling him.
• The Ninth Prince ordered his guards to kill Qin Wang’s group and capture Wu Su and Wanyan Meng, while his Protector realized the cloaked group was far stronger than he was.
• Qin Wang stopped the Protector and summoned Huang Tianen, who acknowledged that the Ninth Prince had mistaken Bai Fenghuan for Feng Jiutian.
• Huang Tianen confined the Ninth Prince to his residence, and the Ninth Prince accepted the order before leaving with his guards.
• Huang Tianen told Qin Wang that the Dragon Transformation Pool was ready and invited him to proceed there.

Qin Wang entered the Dragon Transformation Pool to cultivate, but found no sign of the insight into Manifestation of Heaven and Earth he had expected. After his Nascent Soul reached its limit, he began absorbing the pool’s Heavenly Origin Qi through his physical body, alarming Huang Tianwudi and Huang Tianen with the sheer amount of energy he consumed.

• Huang Tianen brought Qin Wang to the Dragon Transformation Pool and left him to cultivate alone.
• Huang Tianwudi monitored Qin Wang from a secret chamber and found that his initial cultivation was only modestly faster than an ordinary peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
• Qin Wang’s Nascent Soul absorbed Heavenly Origin Qi until it reached its limit, leaving him able to enter Spirit Transformation whenever he chose.
• Qin Wang realized his physical body could still absorb energy and began refining his Body Cultivation Power with the pool’s Heavenly Origin Qi.
• Huang Tianwudi sensed Qin Wang absorbing an immense amount of Heavenly Origin Qi, and Huang Tianen estimated it was equivalent to Ten Billion Spirit Stones.

Qin Wang discovered that he could open blocked acupoints by concentrating Heavenly Origin Qi, strengthening his body as he pursued Manifestation of Heaven and Earth. Huang Tianwudi recognized that Qin Wang was opening Circulatory Acupoints and worried about the Dragon Transformation Pool and the consequences if Qin Wang succeeded.

• Qin Wang, unable to understand Manifestation of Heaven and Earth despite reaching his body's limit, sensed energy-filled reservoirs at his acupoints and decided to open one.
• Qin Wang concentrated Heavenly Origin Qi on the acupoint on the back of his hand, forcing it open and making the hand strong enough to repel the Qingping Sword unharmed.
• Qin Wang continued devouring Heavenly Origin Qi without hesitation, intending to open more acupoints throughout his body.
• Huang Tianwudi told Huang Tianen that Qin Wang was absorbing an alarming amount of energy and might drain the Dragon Transformation Pool.
• Huang Tianwudi recognized Qin Wang was opening Circulatory Acupoints, which could lead to Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, and sealed himself inside the secret chamber.
• Huang Tianen found the secret chamber sealed and wondered what Qin Wang was doing inside the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Huang Tianwudi challenged Elder Xia over opening the heavens, and their battle created black holes above the Heavenly Capital. Meanwhile, Qin Wang drained the Dragon Transformation Pool and spent his Spirit Stones opening ninety-eight acupoints, then considered devouring Heavenly Dao energy to continue.

• Huang Tianwudi's divine soul raised a barrier over the Heavenly Capital, alerting the elders in the hidden place.
• Huang Tianwudi told Elder Xia he intended to open the heavens, refused to accept his punishment, and attacked him with a spear.
• Huang Tianwudi and Elder Xia clashed, shattering space and creating black holes while the barrier protected Tiandu City.
• Qin Wang opened sixty-five acupoints before the Dragon Transformation Pool ran dry, then used his Spirit Stones to reach ninety-eight.
• Qin Wang realized he still needed more energy and considered devouring Heavenly Dao energy.

• Qin Wang burst out of the Dragon Transformation Pool and shattered Huang Tianwudi’s barrier as he flew into the sky.
• Elder Xia confronted Qin Wang, who revealed his peak Nascent Soul aura before breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and triggering a lightning tribulation.
• Huang Tianwudi warned Elder Xia to flee, and both men vanished before the tribulation could expose Elder Xia.
• Qin Wang swallowed the Blood Fiend Lightning Tribulation and pursued the scattering clouds, devouring them until his ninety-ninth acupoint opened.
• Qin Wang returned to the imperial city, where Wu Su, Wanyan Meng, Bai Fenghuan, Zhu Jingtian, and the others gathered around him.

Qin Wang confronted Huang Tianwudi to learn why he had hidden his cultivation, and tested his strength in a clash that revealed Huang Tianwudi was an Early Golden Immortal. Huang Tianwudi explained that a Dao Injury had damaged his divine soul, but Qin Wang still did not learn which Dao he cultivated.

• Qin Wang left Wu Su and the others waiting and went to speak with Huang Tianwudi, while Huang Tianen said he would have protected Qin Wang if he had known how powerful he would become.
• Qin Wang entered Huang Tianwudi's tiny independent pocket space and accused him of using the Ninth Prince to test him.
• Qin Wang and Huang Tianwudi released their auras and exchanged blows, with Huang Tianwudi using the Great Yu Seal to gain the advantage.
