• Yosuke pulled Natsuki Subaru away from the Magic Flame Dragon’s flames with wind magic, then explained that an invisible Wind Elf had taught him.

• Natsuki Subaru said he had learned to recognize the dragon’s attack windup and planned to keep it occupied with the Sandevistan.

Meanwhile, an elderly Daoist appeared in Chu Ke’s temporary broadcast room, claiming to have crossed the Ascension Road into the Immortal Realm.

• Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru entered the Exchange Space without Megumin and told Chu Ke that they had enjoyed their first mission against the Magic Flame Dragon.

• An elderly white-haired Daoist emerged from a spatial crack in Chu Ke’s temporary broadcast room and declared that he had reached the Immortal Realm.

Chu Ke told a newly ascended old man that he had mistaken a refined, lifeless world for the Immortal Realm and demonstrated the Ascension Road he had picked up. After learning about spiritual energy, Chu Ke converted his Fundamental Forces into it, while the old man marveled at the immense power spreading through the world.

• The old man asked Chu Ke whether they had reached the Immortal Realm, and Chu Ke said the old man had taken the wrong path.
• Chu Ke tore open a spatial rift, retrieved the Ascension Road, and explained that he had casually picked up and refined the world, leaving it lifeless.
• The old man concluded that a dark calamity had destroyed the Immortal Realm before Chu Ke refined it, and he asked Chu Ke about spiritual energy.
• The old man demonstrated spiritual energy and showed Chu Ke a Spirit Stone containing primordial spiritual energy.
• Chu Ke examined the energy, converted one unit of Fundamental Forces into a vast amount of spiritual energy, and astonished the old man.

• Huo Ming Zhenren explained how the Ascension Road broke, plunging the Zhou Realm and other worlds into the Dark Great Era before its fragments began restoring aura.
• Huo Ming identified Xiao Miao as a Child of Destiny who had lost his cultivation, been bullied, and faced the annulment of his engagement.

• Chu Ke sent Huo Ming to the office as a Black Slave and flew toward the Zhou Realm while a clone remained in the Exchange Space.
• Xiao Miao, a transmigrant with short red hair, complained about his ruined circumstances and asked the Broken Talisman to show its power, making it glow faintly.

Xiao Miao fled to the back mountain after declaring that he was the one ending his engagement, only to discover that the spirit Chu Ke had awakened from his Broken Talisman and could help restore his cultivation. He chose a powerful, perilous Cultivation Technique, while Huang Yingying arrived at the Xiao Family with Yu Yifan to offer a possible cure and insisted the engagement still be broken temporarily.

• Xiao Miao wrote a blood letter declaring that he was breaking off his engagement with Huang Yingying, then went into the forest to escape the humiliation.
• Xiao Cheng prepared to confront the arriving Huang Family, but Huang Yingying entered with Yu Yifan and explained that she had found a medical text that might help Xiao Miao recover.
• Huang Yingying told Xiao Cheng that she had trained hard because she wanted to be worthy of Xiao Miao, and that she had searched for a cure since learning he was crippled.
• Xiao Miao went to the cliff, where his blood awakened Chu Ke from the Broken Talisman; Chu Ke offered him a pill formula to repair his Dantian and powerful Cultivation Techniques to choose from.
• Xiao Miao selected the Mystic Law Devil Art despite its dangers, and Chu Ke wondered whether he had overlooked something as Xiao Miao began reading it.

Xiao Miao learned that the Mystic Law Devil technique required a unique Heaven and Earth Treasure to reach Foundation Establishment, then repaired his Dantian and resumed cultivating. As a nearby secret realm prepared to open, Yu Yifan set out to seek a strange fire while Xiao Miao realized he urgently needed a treasure of his own.

• Xiao Miao studied the Mystic Law Devil technique, and Chu Ke explained that absorbing a unique Heaven and Earth Treasure could grant him a powerful mode as well as improve his cultivation and talent.
• Xiao Miao gathered common herbs on the back mountain and successfully brewed the ointment Chu Ke had prescribed to repair his Dantian.
• Xiao Cheng apologized to Huang Yingying and Yu Yifan for Xiao Miao's absence, and Yu Yifan said their sect planned to explore a nearby secret realm.

• Yu Yifan prepared to enter the secret realm and resolved to obtain its strange fire, while Xiao Miao resumed cultivating and quickly advanced from the second to the fourth layer of Qi Refinement.

After repairing his Dantian, Xiao Miao learned of a secret realm that could offer the strange treasures he sought and secured a place in it. Facing much stronger competitors, he accepted Chu Ke’s advice to use ambushes and leave-taking routes to his advantage, then prepared to enter the realm.

• Xiao Miao promised to make amends to Huang Yingying, and Xiao Cheng agreed to cover up the origin of Xiao Miao’s recovered Dantian with a story about treasures found in the back mountain.
• Xiao Cheng told Xiao Miao about the Different Flame Secret Realm and offered him a slot, so Xiao Miao spent the next four days cultivating and reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
• Xiao Miao collected his entry token and learned the secret realm’s age and cultivation requirements, its marked treasure locations, and the Dao Alliance’s rules for purchasing equipment.
• Xiao Miao worried that he was too weak to face Foundation Establishment opponents, so Chu Ke advised him to ambush competitors along routes to the realm’s exit rifts.
• Xiao Miao decided to follow Chu Ke’s plan, and Chu Ke told him not to mention his master when causing trouble.

Xiao Miao entered the Different Flame Secret Realm, found the sealed Different Flame, and was nearly killed by a late Foundation Establishment cultivator before escaping. He hid in a Medicine Hut and concealed himself inside a pill furnace as another contestant arrived to loot its treasures.

• Xiao Miao disguised himself, received his equipment, and was transported into the secret realm, where he found a skeleton’s Qi Condensation Pills in a cultivation room.
• Xiao Miao entered the main hall and grabbed the chained Different Flame, but a late Foundation Establishment cultivator struck him and sent the flame sphere flying away.
• Xiao Miao escaped into the forest while Hu Kai stayed behind to confront Yu Yifan, and the two began fighting in the main hall.
• Xiao Miao reached a Medicine Hut, repaired his armor, and hid inside a pill furnace using the Tortoise Breathing Technique.
• An excited contestant entered the Medicine Hut, exclaimed over its treasures, and noticed the strong pill fragrance.

Xiao Miao hid inside an alchemy furnace and killed several cultivators who tried to loot the room. Huang Yingying remained trapped on a beam, terrified that the furnace would consume her next.

• A young scholar-warrior cultivator sneaked into the alchemy room, took the skeleton’s whisk, and opened the furnace.
• Xiao Miao seized the young man and refined him inside the furnace, then returned the whisk to the skeleton.
• Guang Benli and Zhang San entered, found the young man’s Storage Ring, and split up to inspect the furnace and ring.
• Xiao Miao dragged Guang Benli into the furnace when he opened it, then pulled Zhang San inside when he tried to flee.
• Huang Yingying, hiding on a beam, realized that anyone who approached or opened the furnace died and stayed frozen in fear.
