Mo Tang learned that Yun Yun, Queen Medusa, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan had gone to the Beast Region, then headed there himself after telling Feng Qing'er he planned to return to the clan. He intended to use a Sky Demon Phoenix corpse at the Space Trade Fair to gain control over its organizers and reveal that Tou She Ancient God Jade would appear, leaving his scheme poised to draw powerful factions into a contest.

• Mo Tang returned to the Wind Thunder Mountain Range and learned from Feng Qing'er that Yun Yun had gone back to the Flower Sect while Queen Medusa, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan had gone to the Beast Region.

• Mo Tang hoped the announcement would draw the Eight Ancient Clans and other powerful figures into the open, giving him a chance to obtain what he wanted amid the resulting chaos.

Medusa, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan were driven into a mysterious mountain range while fleeing the Beast Region’s united Demonic Beasts. There they discovered the remains of the Ancient Nine-Headed Sky Serpent, whose lingering presence seemed to be calling Qing Lin, and she chose to investigate further.

• Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Medusa gathered treasures across the Beast Region, provoking powerful Demonic Beasts to join forces and hunt them.

Mo Tang and his companions entered the Ancient Treasure Pavilion to offer a treasure for auction, where Old Man Baoshan recognized Mo Tang’s jade as the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Old Man Baoshan returned it, explaining that the Space Auction would not handle an item tied to the powerful ancient clans.

• Mo Tang and his companions left the stalls and went to the Ancient Treasure Pavilion to offer treasures for auction.
• A Gray-robed Person escorted the four inside, and a gray-clothed elder led them to the auction hall.

• Mo Tang presented an ordinary-looking jade, and Old Man Baoshan identified it as the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
• Old Man Baoshan pushed the jade back to Mo Tang and explained that the auction could not risk handling an item connected to the eight ancient clans.

Mo Tang forced Old Man Baoshan to agree to auction the Tou She Ancient God Jade and took the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s Phoenix Wings from the display case. After Phoenix learned who had consigned the wings, the four Sky Demon Phoenixes left to pursue the owner, while news of the jade spread across the Central Continent three days before the trade fair.

• Mo Tang ignored Old Man Baoshan’s refusal and opened a display case containing the Phoenix Wings while three Dou Saints restrained the old man.

• Phoenix left with Mo Tang and the other two, while Old Man Baoshan summoned the other Sect Masters to discuss the situation.
• News of the Tou She Ancient God Jade spread throughout the Central Continent three days before the trade fair began.

Mo Tang watched powerful figures gather in the spatial town after he revealed the Tou She Ancient God Jade, drawing attention from the ancient clans. The Yao Clan arrived first, followed by the Yan Clan, as Mo Tang and the Heavenly Demon Three Phoenixes assessed the growing danger.

• Mo Tang explained that he had revealed the Ancient Emperor Jade despite knowing that eight existed and their holders were among the continent’s strongest figures.
• Kun Phoenix spotted three newcomers tearing through space, and Mo Tang identified them as members of the Yao Clan, led by an elder at least a Four-star Dou Sheng.
• Phoenix and the others worried that the ancient clans might send even stronger experts, while Mo Tang explained why he had not summoned Huang Tian.
• The Yan Clan arrived with another Four-star Dou Sheng and younger clan members, prompting Mo Tang to observe that they had come to broaden the youngsters’ horizons.

Mo Tang watched the ancient clans arrive at the Space Trade Fair and assessed their Heavenly Flames and strength. After the Auction began, he used his system map to discover more than twenty Dou Saints in the hall, just as an old man appeared to begin proceedings.

• Mo Tang identified the Yan Clan's Heavenly Flames and considered obtaining them to increase his energy and Origin Qi.

• Mo Tang used his System Map to spot more than twenty Dou Saints in the hall, and Phoenix explained that many powerful figures lived in seclusion.
• A white-haired old man appeared at the center of the hall as a resonant bell rang.

Old Man Baoshan began the Space Trade Fair, where the Thunder Clan acquired a rare Thunder Dragon Horn and several bidders competed for the Heaven Tier Dou Technique Vajra Glazed Body. Mo Tang watched the trades and considered seeking a Heaven Tier cultivation method as the competing offers arrived.

• Old Man Baoshan opened the Space Trade Fair after enclosing himself in a spatial prison.
• A Thunder Clan member traded a Grade 8 Pill with Five-Colored Pill Lightning for the Thunder Dragon Horn, and no one offered more.
• Old Man Baoshan presented the Heaven Tier Low Grade Dou Technique Vajra Glazed Body, whose owner wanted a Heaven Tier Low Grade water-element cultivation method or an equivalent-value pill.
• Several bidders offered Heaven Tier Low Grade water-element cultivation methods, surprising Mo Tang with how many were available.

Mo Tang bought Xiao Yi Xian the Heavenly Nether Poison Canon at the auction, then waited for the final Fragment Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to go up for sale. The bidding escalated beyond what he could afford, and a dignified young man from the Yao Clan offered a Grade 8 Pill with Eight-Colored Pill Lightning.

• Mo Tang reflected on the wealth of the powerful factions and bought Xiao Yi Xian the Heavenly Nether Poison Canon for two Five-Colored Pill Lightning pills.
• Old Man Baoshan presented the auction’s second-to-last item, an ancient Fragment Map connected to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
• Old Man Baoshan announced that the Fragment Map’s owner wanted at least three pills with Six-Colored Pill Lightning, and bidding began.
• Several bidders raised their offers, while Mo Tang watched silently because he could not afford to compete.
• A young man from the Yao Clan offered a Grade 8 Pill with Eight-Colored Pill Lightning, surprising the hall.

Yao Tian outbid Huo Xuan for the Fragment Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with two rare Grade 8 pills, while Mo Tang realized the Yao Clan’s protection made taking it difficult. As the auction neared its final item, Mo Tang began planning to secure the Tou She Ancient God Jade and ordered Phoenix to intercept the Scorpion Demon Trio afterward.

• Yao Tian and Huo Xuan continued bidding for the Fragment Map until Yao Tian offered two Grade 8 pills with Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
• Old Man Baoshan accepted Yao Tian’s offer and handed him the Fragment Map, which Yao Tian confirmed bore the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s pattern.
• Mo Tang noted that the Yao Clan’s Four-star Dou Sheng protector made stealing the map unrealistic, but the clan’s focus on the Tou She Ancient God Jade left him an opening.
• Mo Tang told Phoenix to intercept and kill the Scorpion Demon Trio after the auction, and Phoenix questioned why they should target three peak Dou Zuns.

Mo Tang arranged for Eagle Phoenix and Phoenix to help conceal his planned move against the Yao Clan, then watched the Tou She Ancient God Jade auction end with a Gu Clan bidder winning it. After Old Man Baoshan announced the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s emergence and the crowd dispersed, Mo Tang used the System Map to track the Scorpion Demon Trio and created an identical copy of himself.

• Mo Tang suggested that Eagle Phoenix seize a Dou Zun for him, and Phoenix agreed to provide a conspicuous cover by having the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan make a public move.
• A black-robed Gu Clan bidder won the Tou She Ancient God Jade with a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill and a Heaven Tier mid-level Dou Skill, while the Soul Clan held back from bidding.
• Old Man Baoshan announced that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was about to emerge, stirring the Dou Zuns and half-Saints but not the veteran Dou Saints or the Eight Ancient Clans.
• After the trade fair ended and the crowd left, Mo Tang used the System Map to lead the Heavenly Demon Three Phoenixes toward the Scorpion Demon Trio.
• Silver light flashed around Mo Tang, and an identical figure appeared before the group.
