Yunxi learned that the Underground Palace held the legacies of its former master's fallen friends and was restored when the Weiling Realm returned. 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 obtained a talisman-crafting inheritance and a compendium of immortal talismans, then entered an artifact-refining inheritance and met the same phantom again. The phantom recognized Hammer Bingzhuo as the refining hammer of Artifact Refining Saint Master Tang Jihan.

• Yunxi entered the talisman-crafting inheritance and discovered that its phantom instructor was the same senior who had taught her alchemy.
• Yunxi’s Lightning Strike Talisman exploded and destroyed its brush, so the phantom asked her to demonstrate her technique by drawing a Wind Blade Talisman in midair.
• The phantom gave Yunxi the Complete Compendium of Immortal Talismans and told her that she could complete her training by mastering its talismans.

• Yunxi told the phantom about her prior artifact-refining inheritance and showed him Hammer Bingzhuo, which he identified as Artifact Refining Saint Master Tang Jihan’s refining hammer.

• The Little Ink Jade Token returned from the stone stele and told Yunxi that the master had entrusted them with deciding the Underground Palace’s future together.
• Yunxi agreed to repair the Underground Palace, and the Little Ink Jade Token led her to the sections damaged by the Evil Immortals.

• The Little Ink Jade Token brought Yunxi to the Treasure Vault after she finished the repairs.
• Yunxi asked Xiao Mo how to obtain a warship, but Xiao Mo explained that she would need to reach the Immortal Emperor realm or gather at least three hundred people of equal strength to operate it.

Yunxi persuaded Xiao Mo to trade the warship for a promise that she could claim it after reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, then forged and attached a pair of cicada-thin wings for the token. 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.

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.

Yunxi withdrew from humans after they abandoned their promise to protect her, then endured a Thunder Tribulation and transformed into human form. She learned that humanity had entered the interstellar age, and Chi Wenxin helped her leave the forest for human society with a false identity.

• A little girl apologized to Yunxi for her family’s failure to protect the divine tree, but Yunxi stayed hidden as the family left the forest.
• Zhou Haibin returned with logging machines to take a branch for research, so Yunxi concealed herself in mist and disappeared underground.

Yunxi recalled granting Chi Wenxin’s wish before sacrificing herself to stop a meteor, then awoke in the cultivation world as her Immortal Yuan Force surged. After breaking through to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, she was teleported out to face her tribulation, with her companions insisting on joining her.

• Yunxi granted Chi Wenxin a long life, but after she left, he revealed her existence and was confined to a laboratory when his unchanging appearance drew suspicion.
• Yunxi later stopped a huge meteor from destroying a city, but her true form caught fire; as she lost consciousness, Chi Wenxin rapidly aged and regretted his choice before dying.
• Yunxi explained that she had helped humanity to repay the kindness of the many, and said she would fight evil while seeking balance between opposing forces.

• Bai Xiao, Bai Qiao, Dian Dian, Lili, Cong Shan, Xue Ao, and Menglan Jun asked the Little Ink Jade Token to send them after Yunxi so they could protect her.

Yunxi endured her Celestial Immortal tribulation and advanced, while Menglan Jun protected the site from approaching Immortal Practitioners. Afterward, Yunxi sent Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao to undergo their own tribulation and learned that her breakthrough had interrupted Menglan Jun’s enlightenment.

• Yunxi refined the first waves of Purple Gold Lightning and used the Nine Nether Underworld Dragon Umbrella to shield herself from the third wave.

After the Ice Baihu couple pledged to protect her, Yunxi prepared to leave, but Xiao Mo warned that their tribulations had exposed the Inheritance Dungeon.

• Menglan Jun told Yunxi that his Orchid Barrier would keep Immortal Practitioners away from the Mountain Hollow.
• Yunxi urged Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao to replenish their strength before the Sixth Order Thunder Tribulation, and the couple endured its Purple Gold Lightning bolts.
• An Immortal Practitioner broke through the Orchid Barrier, but Menglan Jun’s fragrance put him into the Dream Realm despite his Exotic Flame.
• Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao survived the final lightning bolt, received the Heavenly Dao Blessing, and promised to protect Yunxi after reaching the Sixth Order.
• Yunxi told Menglan Jun they should leave, but Xiao Mo complained that the exposed Inheritance Dungeon would soon attract more people.

Yunxi contracted with Xiao Mo and left the Inheritance Dungeon in place so it could pass down its treasures and teachings to other Immortal Practitioners. After arriving in Luoxiao Immortal City with Menglan Jun, she heard that the Luo Family was seeking masters to teach its younger generation.

• Qi Qi explained that the Luo Family was seeking combat-skilled masters and offered guest elders a superior-grade immortal vein as payment.

• Yunxi entered the Luo Family’s formation-filled courtyard with Menglan Jun and told him to follow her footsteps exactly.

After learning she was Wei Yunxi, a powerful fighter with extensive experience against Evil Immortals, the elders debated the risks and Luo Liu urged them to hire her with better terms.

• Yunxi and Luo Liu ended their spar, and Luo Liu confirmed that she had passed the Luo Family’s assessment.
• Elder Luo Da agreed to let Yunxi and Menglan Jun stay in a separate courtyard while the family investigated their identities.
• Luo Liu told the elders that Yunxi had superior combat instincts and had held back during their fight, while the elders decided to favor her over a weaker candidate if she stayed.
• In the courtyard, Yunxi told Menglan Jun that she planned to register with the Loose Immortal Alliance after the Grand Competition of the Five Regions.
• After five days, the elders read the City Lord’s Mansion’s report identifying Yunxi as Wei Yunxi and worried that her history with Evil Immortals could bring trouble to the family.
• Luo Liu argued that the Luo Family should hire Yunxi and improve her treatment, since her experience could prepare them for future clashes with Evil Immortals.

• Long Zhang, Xie Yanran, and Yunxi introduced themselves to the Luo Family disciples and offered guidance in their specialties.
• Luo Yizhi brought the sword-practicing disciples to Yunxi, who sent her Shadow Clone to assess them at the Martial Arts Arena.
