The Myriad Immortals Assembly began at the Azure Sun Sacred Sect, drawing thousands of disciples to the forbidden Myriad Immortals River. Lu Changsheng and his companions faced hostility when they arrived, but the gathering’s attention shifted to Murong Taxue, whose dramatic appearance left Lu Changsheng stunned.

• Lu Changsheng was deeply struck by Murong Taxue’s appearance and learned that she had reached the Eighth-Rank Martial King Realm.

Murong Taxue arrived at the Myriad Immortals Assembly as Elder Chiyang, Elder Lin Yue, and Elder Moyang opened the Myriad Immortals River and explained its dangers and rules. Lu Changsheng and his four companions entered the river, endured its crushing pressure, and found a golden fish-shaped substance that Lu Changsheng suspected was Immortal Spirit Marrow.

• Lu Changsheng was captivated by Murong Taxue, while Tu Jiao teased him and kicked Shi Jingtian after he insulted her appearance.

• Lu Changsheng's group endured the river's crushing pressure with Rui'er's protective formation and descended together into its depths.
• Lu Changsheng broke open a strange rock in a meteor-like field and discovered a golden fish-shaped liquid, which he suspected was Immortal Spirit Marrow.

Lu Changsheng and his companions found and collected Immortal Spirit Marrow in the Myriad Immortals River’s meteorite belt before descending into deeper waters. There they encountered five Black Water Mysterious Pythons with what appeared to be high-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow embedded in their brows.

• Lu Changsheng captured a first-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow fish and sealed it in a jade bottle.
• The five companions split up to search the meteorite belt, smashing rocks and gathering forty-nine strands of Immortal Spirit Marrow.
• Tu Jiao explained that Azure Sun Sacred Sect disciples had likely gone deeper in search of higher-grade marrow, so Lu Changsheng led the group downward.
• At roughly three hundred zhang deep, the group encountered five Black Water Mysterious Pythons, including a leader with the strength of a Sixth-Rank Martial Marquis.
• Lu Changsheng and his companions spotted golden crystals embedded in the pythons’ brows and recognized them as likely third-grade or higher Immortal Spirit Marrow.

At the bottom of the Myriad Immortals River, Lu Changsheng and his companions attacked five Black Water Mysterious Pythons guarding clusters of Immortal Spirit Marrow. Lu Changsheng badly wounded the strongest python with the Sea God Halberd, but it escaped into the darkness with its treasure as he prepared to finish it off.

• Shi Jingtian and the others spotted five Black Water Mysterious Pythons carrying high-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow, and Tu Jiao explained how the marrow bonded with powerful water-type beasts for protection.
• Lu Changsheng assigned one python to each fighter, taking on the Sixth-Rank Martial Marquis leader while Rui'er trapped the weakest beast with her Thousand-Layer Water Prison Formation.
• Tu Jiao, Shi Jingtian, and Qing He launched attacks against their assigned pythons as Rui'er activated her formation.
• Lu Changsheng used the Sea God Halberd to blunt the leader's tail strike, pierce its scales, and neutralize its poisonous beam with the Boundless Ocean technique.
• Lu Changsheng wounded the python leader with Raging Sea Surging Waves and gathered power for a finishing strike with Sea Embraces All Rivers.
• The python leader kicked up a cloud of mud and debris to escape, fleeing into the abyss with its cluster of Immortal Spirit Marrow.

Lu Changsheng pursued the wounded Black Water Mysterious Python to recover its fourth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow, but Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li killed the beast and claimed the prize. When they refused to return it and insulted his origins, Lu Changsheng prepared to fight the three Azure Sun Sacred Sect core disciples.

• Lu Changsheng chased the wounded Black Water Mysterious Python through the Myriad Immortals River, following its blood trail into a glowing coral forest.
• Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li found the dying python and killed it, with Ye Ge taking its fourth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow.
• Lu Changsheng arrived and politely asked the three disciples to return the marrow, explaining that he had wounded the python and tracked it there.
• Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li mocked Lu Changsheng, dismissed his claim, and threatened him when he refused to leave.
• The three disciples unleashed their peak Eighth-grade Martial Marquis auras, and Lu Changsheng raised the Sea God Halberd and challenged them to fight.

Lu Changsheng fought Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li beneath the Myriad Immortals River, using his techniques to withstand their coordinated attacks and injure Zhao Zheng. The three disciples unleashed their strongest moves as Lu Changsheng answered with the Sea God Halberd Art’s Sea Embraces All Rivers, and their attacks collided above the shattered coral ruins.

• Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li attacked Lu Changsheng together, but he blocked their opening strikes with the Boundless Ocean halberd technique.
• Zhao Zheng unleashed the Beast King Descends punch, and Lu Changsheng met it head-on with Raging Sea Surging Waves, shattering Zhao Zheng’s right arm and sending him flying.
• Lu Changsheng blocked Ye Ge’s blazing palm with the Thunder Emperor Palm and used the Immeasurable Buddha Bell to repel Sun Li’s soul-attacking fingers.
• Lu Changsheng gathered water spiritual energy with Sea Embraces All Rivers as Ye Ge, Sun Li, and the injured Zhao Zheng prepared their strongest attacks.
• Lu Changsheng unleashed an immense azure torrent from his Sea God Halberd, and it collided with the three disciples’ combined killing moves.

Lu Changsheng defeated Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li underwater, took their Immortal Spirit Marrow and a treasure map to Spirit Nurturing Milk, and reunited with his companions. The group set out together for the marked location, while the defeated disciples planned to enlist Pei Xuan against Lu Changsheng.

• Lu Changsheng used the Sea God Halberd to overwhelm the three peak Eighth-grade Martial Marquises and force them to surrender their Cosmic Bags and Immortal Spirit Marrow.
• Lu Changsheng took Ye Ge's map, learned it marked where Spirit Nurturing Milk could appear, and left the wounded trio behind.

• Lu Changsheng reunited with Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Qing He, and Rui'er and told them about the battle and the treasure map.
• Lu Changsheng and his four companions agreed to pursue the Spirit Nurturing Milk and headed deeper into the Myriad Immortals River.

Lu Changsheng and his companions crossed the deadly Vortex Zone and reached an underwater basin filled with high-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow. After collecting hundreds of marrows and capturing a fifth-grade specimen, they headed toward an entrance in the glowing riverbed to search for the Spirit Nurturing Milk.

• Lu Changsheng led Tu Jiao, Shi Jingtian, Qing He, and Rui'er through the deep river, where they gathered Immortal Spirit Marrow and avoided a confrontation with Azure Sun Sacred Sect disciples.
• The five entered the Vortex Zone, where violent currents shattered Rui'er's Defense Spirit Array and scattered the group.
• Lu Changsheng used the Sea God Halberd to weaken a giant vortex's suction and escaped, then reunited with Tu Jiao, Qing He, Shi Jingtian, and Rui'er beyond the turbulence.

• Lu Changsheng trapped a swiftly teleporting dark-gold sphere in a Four Directions Water Prison Array and identified it as fifth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow.
• Lu Changsheng led the group toward an entrance in the glowing jade riverbed, where the treasure map indicated the Spirit Nurturing Milk lay deeper within.

Lu Changsheng and his companions found five drops of Spirit Nurturing Milk in the jade basin and refined one each, greatly increasing their strength before leaving. Pei Xuan arrived afterward, discovered the treasure was gone, and pursued them in the direction of Ye Ge’s soul mark.

• Lu Changsheng and the others resisted the temptation of Immortal Spirit Marrows and hurried toward the basin’s center, where they found five drops of Spirit Nurturing Milk.
• Lu Changsheng detected no nearby guardian beasts, and Rui'er raised a concealing defensive array so the five could refine the treasure safely.
• The Spirit Nurturing Milk transformed all five: Lu Changsheng reached peak Third-grade Martial Marquis, Tu Jiao and Shi Jingtian reached Third-grade Martial Marquis, Qing He reached peak First-grade Martial Marquis, and Rui'er advanced to First-grade Martial Marquis.
• The group removed Rui'er's array and left the basin to continue exploring, while Pei Xuan arrived about half an hour later with Ye Ge, Zhao Zheng, and Sun Li.
• Pei Xuan found the white jade pool empty, blamed Ye Ge for arriving too late, and ordered the group to track Lu Changsheng.
• Ye Ge sensed the soul mark he had secretly placed on Lu Changsheng and pointed northwest, and Pei Xuan led the others in pursuit.

After the group’s strength surged from refining Spirit Nurturing Milk, Lu Changsheng discovered Ye Ge had marked their treasure map and sent the map away to mislead their pursuers. The group split up to search the Myriad Immortals River, and Lu Changsheng captured a rare quasi-sixth-grade Vermilion Bird Immortal Spirit Marrow before plunging toward the one-thousand-zhang depths.

• Lu Changsheng and his companions celebrated their improved cultivation and agreed to seek high-quality Immortal Spirit Marrow for the best Immortal River Baptism.
• Lu Changsheng found Ye Ge’s hidden soul imprint on their treasure map and used a spirit array to send the map toward the northeast, away from the group.
• Lu Changsheng proposed that the five split up and carry Mother-Child Induction Talismans, and they agreed to reunite near the river entrance in two days.

• Lu Changsheng used his Thunder Sparrow Wings and three kinds of divine thunder to capture the Vermilion Bird Immortal Spirit Marrow and seal it in a jade box.
• Lu Changsheng set his sights on the one-thousand-zhang depths and plunged into the abyss, while the others searched separately and Ye Ge’s pursuers followed the decoy map.

Lu Changsheng descended into the thousand-zhang depths of the Myriad Immortals River and collected many high-grade Immortal Spirit Marrows before discovering Murong Taxue and three other Azure Sun Sacred Sect geniuses fighting a Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion for a mysterious Chaos Crystal. As the battle escalated, the crystal released an immense primordial pressure, leaving Lu Changsheng hidden nearby and facing an uncertain opportunity.

• Lu Changsheng used his Dragon Elephant Golden Body, Lightning Body Protection, and Sea God Halberd to withstand the crushing pressure as he entered the thousand-zhang waters.
• Lu Changsheng used Spirit Arrays to trap and collect large numbers of fourth- and fifth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrows, including several quasi-sixth-grade ones.
• Lu Changsheng searched the underwater mountain ranges for higher-grade Immortal Spirit Marrows and approached a fierce battle after sensing powerful fluctuations.

• Lu Changsheng recognized the Chaos Crystal embedded in the scorpion's brow as a possible quasi-ninth-grade or true ninth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow and considered whether to pursue it.
• The Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion unleashed a soul-shaking shriek, and the Chaos Crystal shone with blinding light as overwhelming primordial pressure descended.

The Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion used the quasi-Ninth-Rank Immortal Spirit Marrow to overwhelm Murong Taxue, Situ Lie, Ouyang Shan, and Wu Qingying. After Murong Taxue wounded it with a Martial Venerable artifact, Lu Changsheng rescued her from its venomous strike and fled with her into the abyss as the beast pursued them.

• The Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion unleashed the Immortal Spirit Marrow’s power and neutralized the combined attacks of Murong Taxue, Situ Lie, Ouyang Shan, and Wu Qingying, seriously injuring them.
• The Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion charged Murong Taxue, and she used the Moonlight Sword to cut open one of its claws at the cost of exhausting herself.
• The Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion renewed its assault, poisoned Murong Taxue, and thrust its venomous tail toward her throat.
• Lu Changsheng rushed in with the Sea God Halberd, knocked the tail aside, caught Murong Taxue, and carried her away on his lightning wings.
• Lu Changsheng fled with Murong Taxue into the deeper waters as the enraged Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion pursued them.

Lu Changsheng escaped the Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion and brought the poisoned Murong Taxue to safety in an underwater cavern. After sucking poison from her wound to save her, he was attacked when she awoke and mistook his actions for an assault.

• Lu Changsheng fled with Murong Taxue while the Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion pursued them through the deep waters.
• He lured the Scorpion into a narrow gorge and escaped through its branching passages until its pursuit faded.
• In a cavern, Lu Changsheng examined Murong Taxue, gave her healing pills and diluted Pill Beast blood, and found that the poison remained dangerous.
• Lu Changsheng sucked the poisoned blood from Murong Taxue’s arm, slowing the poison as his own powers neutralized it.
• Murong Taxue woke in Lu Changsheng’s arms, saw his lips stained with blood, and blasted him into the cavern wall before pointing the Moonlight Sword at him.

Lu Changsheng tried to save the poisoned Murong Taxue by using his three types of lightning to expel the venom. The treatment triggered a strange reaction that left Murong Taxue feverish and unrestrained, and the two became intimate in the limestone cave.

• Murong Taxue pointed the Moonlight Sword at Lu Changsheng over his intimate contact with her while he saved her, but lowered it after hearing his explanation.
• Murong Taxue suddenly collapsed as the Heavenly Demon Water Scorpion's poison spread toward her heart and contaminated her meridians.
• Lu Changsheng used Yin-Yang Fiendish Thunder, Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, and Great Void Divine Thunder to attack the poison in Murong Taxue's body.
• The collision of lightning and poison caused Murong Taxue to erupt with strange heat, which burned away her clothing and left her feverish and confused.
• Murong Taxue threw herself into Lu Changsheng's embrace, and Lu Changsheng gave in to the moment as they became intimate.

After Murong Taxue and Lu Changsheng woke in the cave, she chose to leave their encounter behind, while Lu Changsheng resolved not to forget her and returned to hunting Immortal Spirit Marrow. He then encountered a little girl carrying high-grade seventh-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow as five Azure Sun Sacred Sect disciples pursued her.

• Murong Taxue woke, dressed, and told Lu Changsheng to treat their night together as a dream before leaving the cave.
• Lu Changsheng resolved that he would not forget Murong Taxue, then left to pursue a high-grade Immortal River Baptism.
• Lu Changsheng hunted in the waters eight hundred zhang below the surface and collected more Immortal Spirit Marrow, but estimated he had only enough for a sixth-grade baptism.
• Lu Changsheng heard shouts in a canyon and saw five Azure Sun Sacred Sect disciples chasing a little girl who carried exceptionally powerful seventh-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow.
• The little girl collided with Lu Changsheng, and the five disciples caught up and surrounded them.

Lu Changsheng protected a little girl carrying seventh-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow from Lan Yunlong and his Azure Sun Sacred Sect companions at the bottom of the Myriad Immortals River. After crippling Li Gang with one punch, he faced Lan Yunlong’s full-force Mount Sumeru Palm with the Sea God Halberd’s Boundless Ocean technique, and the clash left him straining under the attack.

• Lu Changsheng caught a little girl who collided with him and learned she carried a precious ball of seventh-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow, which she offered him.

• Li Gang attacked Lu Changsheng, who crippled him with one punch using the Dragon Elephant Golden Body and Nine Dragon Nine Elephant Fist.
• Lan Yunlong threatened Lu Changsheng and attacked with Mount Sumeru Palm, while Lu Changsheng used the Sea God Halberd’s Boundless Ocean to block the strike.
• Lan Yunlong strengthened his attack, and Lu Changsheng, bleeding and under heavy strain, struggled to maintain the defensive vortex.

Lu Changsheng battled Lan Yunlong beneath the Myriad Immortals River, using the Sea God Halberd and Thunder Tribulation Armor to overcome Lan Yunlong’s cultivation advantage. He comprehended the Sea God Halberd Art’s fifth form, Water Dragon Chant, and unleashed it against Lan Yunlong’s final defenses.

• Lan Yunlong shattered Lu Changsheng’s Boundless Ocean vortex with Mount Sumeru Palm, but Lu Changsheng dodged the follow-up strike with Nine Heavens Lightning Steps.
• Lan Yunlong summoned the Mount Sumeru Battle Spear and attacked Lu Changsheng, who held his ground with the Sea God Halberd and gradually turned the weapon clash in his favor.
• Lu Changsheng activated Thunder Tribulation Armor, raising his cultivation to Sixth-Rank Martial Marquis, and overwhelmed Lan Yunlong with lightning-fast attacks.
• As Lan Yunlong defended himself with rock armor, Lu Changsheng sensed a new connection with the Sea God Halberd and comprehended its fifth form, Water Dragon Chant.
• Lu Changsheng summoned a hundred-yard water dragon that dispersed Lan Yunlong’s mountain fists, forcing Lan Yunlong to burn his blood essence and raise layers of barriers before the dragon struck.

Lu Changsheng defeated Lan Yunlong and seized his Immortal Spirit Marrow and Heaven Tier Martial Skill before following a little girl to her home beneath the Myriad Immortals River. There, he discovered a hidden paradise full of high-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow and came face-to-face with the legendary Heart of the Immortal River.

• Lu Changsheng shattered Lan Yunlong's defenses with Water Dragon Chant and left him unconscious beneath the rubble.
• Lu Changsheng took Lan Yunlong's Immortal Spirit Marrow and Mount Sumeru Palm scroll, then forced Li Gang and the three disciples to surrender their Cosmic Bags before letting them flee with Lan Yunlong.
• The little girl gave Lu Changsheng her Seventh-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow and offered to lead him to her home, where she said more treasures could be found.
• The little girl led Lu Changsheng through a hidden barrier into an underwater paradise filled with Immortal Spirit Marrow, including Ninth-grade strands.
• Lu Changsheng followed the little girl to the Myriad Immortals Ancient Tree and recognized the emerald heart inside its trunk as the legendary Heart of the Immortal River.

Lu Changsheng entered the Immortal River Water Palace, where Grandpa Turtle allowed him to take the Heart of the Immortal River and nourish his Sea God Halberd beneath the ancient tree. While Little Ling'er kept him company, Lu Changsheng gathered Immortal Spirit Marrow and began cultivating Mount Sumeru Palm as the halberd evolved.

• Little Ling'er introduced Lu Changsheng to Grandpa Turtle, the Martial Venerable guardian of the Immortal River Water Palace, and explained that Lu Changsheng had saved her from attackers.
• Lu Changsheng honestly admitted that he wanted the Heart of the Immortal River, and Grandpa Turtle agreed to give it to him after Little Ling'er pleaded on his behalf.
• Lu Changsheng took the Heart of the Immortal River and learned that the Sea God Halberd could evolve under the ancient tree, where time passed differently from outside.
• Lu Changsheng left the Sea God Halberd beneath the ancient tree, collected seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade Immortal Spirit Marrow, and spent time exploring the Water Palace with Little Ling'er.
• Lu Changsheng studied Lan Yunlong's Mount Sumeru Palm scroll and practiced forming a mountain shadow between his palms, gradually making it clearer and more stable.

After mastering Mount Sumeru Palm and retrieving his enhanced Sea God Halberd, Lu Changsheng left the Immortal River Water Palace to reunite with his companions. A Mother-Child Induction Talisman then signaled that Rui'er was in grave danger, and he raced toward her location.

• Lu Changsheng mastered Mount Sumeru Palm after nearly half a month of cultivation and unleashed a massive strike within the Water Palace.
• Lu Changsheng promised Little Ling'er he would return, collected the Sea God Halberd after it had been strengthened by the Myriad Immortals Ancient Tree, and left the Water Palace.
• Lu Changsheng reviewed his gains and headed to reunite with Senior Sister Tu, Rui'er, and the others before the Myriad Immortals Assembly ended.
• Rui'er's Mother-Child Induction Talisman flashed a distress signal, and Lu Changsheng followed its guidance toward her location at full speed.
