After the Little Key sent Menglan Jun and the Ice Baihu away to comprehend the Dao, it guided Yunxi to choose an inheritance, and she entered the alchemy trial.

• Yunxi entered the talisman-crafting inheritance and discovered that its phantom instructor was the same senior who had taught her alchemy.

Xiao Mo tested its new wings at tremendous speed, while Yunxi stored a smaller pair in her spatial treasure.

• Yunxi tried to convince Xiao Mo that she deserved the warship, but Xiao Mo refused to give it to her immediately.
• Yunxi offered to refine new wings for Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo agreed to leave the warship for her to claim after she reached the Immortal Emperor realm.

• Xiao Mo flew out of the Artifact Refining Room at uncontrollable speed, and Yunxi sent another small pair of wings into her spatial treasure.

Yunxi learned that Saint Master Tang Jihan had scattered the Evil Blade and its blade heart across separate spatial-temporal rifts to prevent the Evil God's resurrection. Xiao Mo sent Yunxi beneath the Enlightenment Tree to cultivate with her companions, where she entered a vision of a seed struggling to grow before a creature ate its leaves.

• Yunxi learned from Hammer Bingzhuo that Saint Master Tang Jihan had been trapped by a God Realm family seeking to reforge the Evil God's Evil Blade, so he separated the blade heart from the blade body and cast them into different spatial-temporal rifts.
• Xiao Mo praised Yunxi's new cicada wings and told her that Dian Dian, Lili, Cong Shan, and the two Ice Baihu were still benefiting from enlightenment.
• Xiao Mo sent Yunxi to the Enlightenment Tree, where she found the two Ice Baihu and the blooming Mengxia Orchid already cultivating.
• Yunxi released Dian Dian, Lili, Cong Shan, and Xue Ao beneath the tree, and they began absorbing its Dao charm.
• Yunxi entered an enlightenment vision as a seed that took root and sprouted, only for a creature to eat its two leaves.

Yunxi grew into a divine tree, watched generations of people live among her branches, and became worshipped after saving them from drought. When Li sought help during a catastrophic flood, Yunxi offered her tree to make boats, even though doing so could destroy her true body.

• Yunxi grew into a great tree and sheltered plants and animals before humans built homes in her branches.
• Yunxi befriended a maiden who could see her, but after Yunxi slept, she awoke to find the maiden had grown old and people were trying to burn the tree.
• Yunxi struck the arsonist with lightning and brought rain, then cloaked herself in mist and later slept as worshippers dwindled.
• Li came to Yunxi during a rising flood and explained that her people could not escape in their boats.
• Yunxi told Li to bring her people so they could build boats from the tree, and explained that she might grow again if her roots survived.

After centuries of sleep, Yunxi revived as a sapling for the maiden’s descendants, then slept again until war drove people back into the jungle. As modern warfare spread toward her, a mother and daughter discovered the towering tree and wondered whether it could help them survive.

• The maiden carried a root from Yunxi’s felled tree to the survivors’ new home, and her descendants guarded it for generations while the Ark of Life was preserved.
• A young descendant tried to dig up the dormant root, prompting Yunxi to sprout and grow; she concealed her true size, leaving a sapling for the family to guard.
• After sleeping for an unknown length of time, Yunxi woke in a primeval jungle where human settlements had disappeared and saw war spreading toward her.
• People fleeing the war entered the jungle, and a mother and daughter found Yunxi, recognizing her from their ancestors’ picture book and asking whether she could help them survive.
