The Lingxiao Sect faced destruction as the eight great sects of West Xuan Domain broke its protective array and attacked. Just as Lingxuzi and the elders prepared to die defending the sect, Lu Changsheng and his companions arrived from the North Divine Domain.

• Lingxuzi and the six surviving elders discussed the failing protective array and worried that the Eastern Mausoleum Domain would perish without the Sky-Mending Divine Cauldron.

• Elder Qinghui explained where the Burning Heaven Furnace and Sea Suppressing Divine Stele were held, and Lingxuzi authorized Lu Changsheng to use the Eastern Mausoleum Domain Seal for his quest.

Lu Changsheng learned that Old Ancestor Qingyang would try to secure the Burning Heaven Furnace, leaving only the Sea Suppressing Divine Stele to find before the Four Domain Artifacts could open the passage to the Immortal Realm. Lingxuzi warned that the Southern Saint Domain was dangerous and its teleportation array needed a month of repairs, so Lu Changsheng began preparing to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.

• Lingxuzi said the cross-realm Spatial Array would take a month to repair and gave Lu Changsheng the Sky-Mending Divine Cauldron to help him break through to the Martial Venerable Realm before their departure.

Lu Changsheng and his companions traveled through a spatial wormhole toward the Southern Saint Domain, where they collected Spatial Spirit Crystals before a Spatial Storm struck. Murong Taxue rescued Rui'er after she fell from the lotus platform, but the storm swept them both away, leaving Lu Changsheng desperate to follow.

• Lingxiao Sect elders activated the spatial array, and Lu Changsheng's group departed for the Southern Saint Domain aboard Lin Qingxuan's Nine-Turn Azure Lotus.
• During the journey, Murong Taxue explained the value of Spatial Spirit Crystals, and the group collected more than a hundred from the tunnel wall.
• On the eighth day, a Spatial Storm surged through the tunnel and battered the lotus platform's defensive barrier.
• The storm's impact threw Rui'er beyond the barrier, and Murong Taxue caught her but was swept away with her into the storm.
• Lu Changsheng tried to dive after them, but Lin Qingxuan held him back as he watched Murong Taxue and Rui'er disappear.

After Murong Taxue and Rui'er were swept away in a Spatial Storm, Lu Changsheng and the others survived by protecting the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus with the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

• Murong Taxue rushed to save Rui'er, and both disappeared into the Spatial Storm as Lu Changsheng watched helplessly.
• Lin Qingxuan warned Lu Changsheng that the Green Lotus barrier was failing, so he summoned the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron to protect the survivors through the storm.
• After the storm ended, Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao blamed themselves for failing to save Rui'er, while Lin Qingxuan urged everyone not to give up hope.
• Tu Jiao spotted Murong Taxue's Moonlight Sword, and Lu Changsheng found her intact divine-soul and life-source imprints, confirming that she was still alive.
• Lu Changsheng and the others survived two more small Spatial Storms and emerged from the tunnel into the Southern Saint Domain.

Lu Changsheng and his companions arrived in Hanhai City, where they heard about an upcoming Tianya Sea Pavilion auction. At a tavern, God Water Sect’s young sect master Gan Hai tried to buy Lu Changsheng’s Sea God Halberd, then reached for it after Lu refused and was caught by the wrist.

• Lu Changsheng, Lin Qingxuan, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao explored Hanhai City and stopped at the Haikelai Tavern to eat.
• The group overheard that Tianya Sea Pavilion would hold an auction in three days, and Lu Changsheng suggested they attend while asking about Treading Snow and Rui'er.
• Gan Hai entered the tavern, spotted Lu Changsheng’s Sea God Halberd, and offered two hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones plus a Heaven Tier martial skill for it.
• Lu Changsheng refused to sell the halberd, and a God Water Sect elder threatened him for rejecting Gan Hai.
• Gan Hai reached for the Sea God Halberd, but Lu Changsheng seized his wrist and crushed it until Gan Hai screamed.

Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingxuan fought off Gan Hai and the God Water Sect’s elders at Haikelai Tavern, where the Tavern Keeper forced Gan Hai to pay for the damage and leave. After the group checked into Azure Wave Pavilion, Gan Hai had his followers watch the entrance and wait for Lu Changsheng to come out.

• Lu Changsheng broke Gan Hai’s wrist and arm after Gan Hai attacked him, and Lin Qingxuan swiftly injured the two First-Rank Martial Venerable elders who tried to intervene.
• Gan Hai summoned Elder Fang, who prepared to attack Lu Changsheng until the Tavern Keeper stopped him and ordered the God Water Sect group out.
• The Tavern Keeper confirmed that Gan Hai had started the fight and demanded three million spirit stones for the tavern’s damage, which Gan Hai paid before leaving.
• Lin Qingxuan warned Lu Changsheng that others would covet the Sea God Halberd, so he concealed it in the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.
• Lu Changsheng and his companions checked into Azure Wave Pavilion, while Gan Hai ordered followers to watch the inn and report when Lu Changsheng came out.

Lu Changsheng brought his companions to Hanhai City's Tianya Sea Pavilion auction after choosing a secure courtyard to avoid God Water Sect's spies. At the auction, Gan Hai spotted them and prepared to use his wealth to make trouble for Lu Changsheng.

• Lu Changsheng rented Purple Bamboo Court for three days after sensing that God Water Sect followers were tracking his group.
• Lu Changsheng explained that the high-grade courtyard's defenses would protect them from eavesdropping, and he warned that they would retaliate if Gan Hai provoked them.

• Lu Changsheng and his companions paid the entrance fee and entered Tianya Sea Pavilion's crowded auction hall.
• Gan Hai spotted Lu Changsheng through a projection device and vowed to use his wealth against him at the auction.

Lu Changsheng and his companions attended Tianya Sea Pavilion’s auction, where the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Coffin and Heavenly Venerable Pill were sold for high prices. The third lot was revealed as a chained woman of the Nine-Tailed Fox race, whose fate was left hanging as bidding was about to begin.

• Xue Fei opened the auction, and Lu Changsheng learned that Lin Qingxuan had several hundred million spirit stones from her master’s spirit card.
• Heavenly River Hall won the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Coffin for thirty million spirit stones after Lu Changsheng declined to bid because he already had the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform.
• The Heavenly Venerable Pill sparked fierce bidding, and Gan Hai won it for one hundred and twenty million spirit stones.
• Gan Hai smugly resolved to win the auction’s remaining treasures and outdo Lu Changsheng.
• Xue Fei presented a chained, nine-tailed woman of the Nine-Tailed Fox race as the third lot, starting the bidding at thirty million High-Grade Spirit Stones.
