• Gu Qing arrived and outbid Tang Xuanxuan, turning the sale into a contest that reached Tang Xuanxuan's bid of two hundred million spirit stones.

Lu Changsheng stopped Tang Xuanxuan from falling for Gu Qing’s bidding trap, then bought and freed three Snow Fox Clan girls, who gave him a mysterious jade pendant connected to Ghost Island. He and his companions reached the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion with Lei Jiu’s invitation and entered its hidden garden-like interior.

• Lu Changsheng warned Tang Xuanxuan that Gu Qing was only raising the bid to make her overspend, so Tang Xuanxuan withdrew and Lu Changsheng declared Gu Qing the winner at 220 million spirit stones.
• Gu Qing refused to pay and used her family’s elders to intimidate the seller before leaving in disgrace under Tang Xuanxuan’s taunts.

Lu Changsheng and his companions entered the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s hidden springlike space and gathered with the Southern Saint Domain’s powers to discuss Ghost Island. Bai Sha tried to kill Lu Changsheng over Bai Ling’s death, but Lei Jiu stopped him; the gathering began when Tianji Zi appeared.

• Shi Jingtian and the others marveled at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s array-created space and reached the Azure Sky Spirit Jade Heavenly Secrets Tower.
• Lu Changsheng and Lei Jiu entered the packed hall, where representatives of the Southern Saint Domain’s major families, sects, and sea races had gathered over Ghost Island.

• Lei Jiu blocked Bai Sha’s attack and threatened war if the Golden Tiger Shark Race harmed Lu Changsheng, forcing Bai Sha to withdraw and promise the matter was not over.
• Tianji Zi descended into the hall, introduced himself as the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Young Master, and announced he would host the gathering concerning Ghost Island.

At the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Tianji Zi revealed a Ghost Bird that could lead the factions to Ghost Island and put it up for auction in exchange for rare treasures. Duanmu Rui, Gu Lin, and Princess Bei'er offered increasingly valuable items, and the bidding remained open.

• Tianji Zi explained that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had tracked Ghost Island and displayed a Ghost Bird whose aura connected it to the island.
• Tianji Zi demonstrated the bird’s ability to reveal Ghost Island’s aura and announced that it would be sold to the highest bidder in treasures.
• Gu Lin and the Thunder Eel Race offered spirit stones, but Tianji Zi insisted on bidding with rare treasures instead.
• Duanmu Rui offered a Reincarnation Purple Ganoderma, and Gu Lin countered with Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold.
• Princess Bei'er offered a Mirage Pearl that could trap and kill a ninth-grade Martial Venerable, stirring Tianji Zi’s interest as the bidding continued.

At the Heavenly Secrets Tower gathering, factions displayed rare treasures to compete for the Ghost Bird, but the Gu Family revealed a speaking flower that claimed to be the ancient Mandala Divine Flower of the Immortal Realm. It left the other treasures disgraced and stunned the hall with its boasts of knowing the past, future, and secrets of all things.

• Tianji Zi judged the Great Bodhi Restoration Pill, Azure Sea Tide Flute, and Miniature Void Thunder Pool, but said they fell short of Princess Bei'er's Mirage Pearl.
• A blue-robed Huanshi Water Pavilion elder presented a Time Fruit, which Tianji Zi praised as the treasure that had stirred him most.
• Qin Lei offered a Heart Demon Seed and Duanmu Rui displayed a Tribulation-Resolving Pill, leaving Tianji Zi torn between the three rare treasures.
• Gu Qing urged Gu Lin to risk their Gu Family's sealed treasure for the Ghost Bird and the Minggu Sea Emperor's inheritance, and Gu Lin opened the jade box.
• A palm-sized black-gold flower emerged and mocked the Time Fruit, Heart Demon Seed, and Tribulation-Resolving Pill as worthless.
• The flower identified itself as the Mandala Divine Flower, an ancient Immortal Realm divine flower that could foretell the past and future, read hearts, and perceive every secret.

The Mandala Divine Flower exposed Elder Bai Sha’s crimes and read Tianji Zi’s thoughts, proving its extraordinary powers and revealing how to open the passage to the Immortal Realm. Gu Lin refused to trade it, but Tianji Zi enforced the deal and claimed the flower; afterward, Lu Changsheng’s group left to plan their next move while Bai Sha departed with murderous intent.

• The Mandala Divine Flower revealed that Elder Bai Sha had murdered Tang Wu, and Tang Xuanxuan and Tang Shiyin demanded an explanation.
• The flower exposed Bai Sha’s plan to ambush Lu Changsheng’s group and his intentions toward Murong Taxue, then threatened to reveal more of his crimes.
• The Mandala Divine Flower said that gathering the four Domain Artifacts could open the passage to the Immortal Realm and accurately read Tianji Zi’s choice of the Heart Demon Seed.
• Tianji Zi declared that he wanted the Mandala Divine Flower, but Gu Lin refused to trade it; Tianji Zi’s True Monarch Realm elders enforced the agreement, and Gu Lin received the Ghost Bird.
• The factions left Heavenly Secrets Tower, with Elder Bai Sha glaring at Lu Changsheng before departing, and Lu Changsheng led his group back to the inn to discuss what to do next.

Tianji Zi learned from the Mandala Divine Flower that Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingxuan were the missing children of Lu Tianxuan, and he resolved to capture them for the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng’s group planned to follow the Gu Family toward Ghost Island, unaware that several factions were watching the Gu Family’s manor.

• The Mandala Divine Flower exposed the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s ties to its Immortal Realm headquarters and demanded one billion supreme-grade spirit stones to find Lu Tianxuan’s surviving children.
• Tianji Zi paid the Mandala Divine Flower, which divined the whereabouts of Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingxuan and warned that Lu Changsheng was dangerous.
• Tianji Zi recognized Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingxuan as the visitors who had come to the Heavenly Secrets Tower that day, then decided to capture them for his own advancement.
• At Cold Pine Residence, Lu Changsheng proposed following the Gu Family after it acquired the Ghost Bird, whose key could lead to Ghost Island and the Minggu Sea Emperor’s inheritance.
• Duanmu Rui, Qin Lei, the blue-robed elder, and hidden sea race experts watched the Gu Family manor as rival forces gathered around it.

Gu Lin used the Space-Hiding Pearl to escape Ice Sea City and led the Gu Family to Ghost Island, while the other factions pursued them. The island emerged from the void, but Tianji Zi planned to reveal its location and use the rival forces to break its ancient seal.

• Gu Lin revealed the Space-Hiding Pearl, demonstrated how it concealed him, and ordered the Gu Family to leave Ice Sea City at night.
• Shi Jingtian spotted the Gu Family's disappearance, and Lu Changsheng led their group and other factions out of the city in pursuit.
• Tianji Zi explained that he had traded the Ghost Bird for the Mandala Divine Flower and planned to make the island's location public so the factions would break its barrier for him.
• Gu Lin and the Gu Family reached the frozen sea, released the Ghost Bird, and followed it to a hidden entrance in the void.
• Gu Lin used the Void Treasure Mirror to reveal Ghost Island and its immense ancient barrier.

Gu Lin found Ghost Island but could not breach its ninth-grade Sea Emperor Heaven-Sealing Array, so he summoned reinforcements and guarded the area. Lu Changsheng’s group learned that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had publicly revealed the island’s location, drawing the major factions there to break the barrier, and set off with the Spirit Trout Race.

• Gu Lin discovered Ghost Island, but the barrier repelled his attack and the black-robed elder identified it as a ninth-grade ancient spirit array.
• Gu Lin summoned three True Monarch elders and twenty Martial Venerables from the Gu Family, then ordered his subordinates to patrol the area and kill intruders.
• Lu Changsheng’s group searched the frozen sea for Gu Lin, while Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao argued aboard the Flood Dragon Ship.
• Xiao Yi and Xuan Lan met Lu Changsheng and told him that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had announced Ghost Island’s location, bringing the major factions’ fleets toward it.
• Lu Changsheng realized the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion meant to use the factions to break the island’s protective formation and agreed to travel with the Spirit Trout Race.
