• Gong Nanming went to where Yan Cuiping had died and tried to locate Chen Fei, but mist blocked his deductions.

Gong Nanming investigated Yan Cuiping’s death and used a revived Imperial Examination Anomaly to pursue the escaped cultivators, but it could not locate the Mid Heaven Opening Realm cultivator he sought. Meanwhile, Chen Fei exhausted his spiritual essence and began breaking through the barrier between Seventh Order and Eighth Order physique.

• Gong Nanming found that Yan Cuiping’s Nine Nether Sword and Sky Universe Cauldron had been shattered, leaving him unable to trace her killer, and a wind chime roused him from Heart Anomaly Power’s influence.

Chen Fei and the Xuan Clan escaped after three Ninth Order Supreme Realm experts broke the restriction over the Xuanling Domain, while those experts destroyed the Heart Anomaly passageway rather than risk entering it to rescue Pang Na. One month later, the Xuan Clan had settled beside the humans, and Chen Fei began buying resentful spirit essence to purify and resell.

• Chen Fei and Li Song's group fled the Rain Clan's territory when the Xuanling Domain's restriction broke, and Chen Fei predicted the Rain Clan had mostly escaped into the Heart Anomaly Realm.
• Mou Zhuqin emerged from the Heart Anomaly passageway and reported that Pang Na's Rule Body had been shattered and half his divine soul taken; he warned that he might have been deliberately released as bait.
• Nie Chuncheng and the other two Ninth Order Supreme Realm experts destroyed the Heart Anomaly passageway instead of pursuing Pang Na into the dangerous realm.
• One month later, the Xuan Clan moved to Lingbo City beside Qiankun City to seek protection while the races of the Xuanling Domain recovered from their losses.
• Chen Fei bought Yu Yongtian's Early Heaven Opening Realm resentful spirit essence for six hundred Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, planning to purify and resell it.

Chen Fei used wraith essence to upgrade the Qiankun Cauldron and produce Rule Crystals, helping the Human Race prepare for more Heaven Opening Realm cultivators. He traveled to Xian City to buy more essence, where he found its price had suddenly risen and demand was strong.

• Chen Fei upgraded the Qiankun Cauldron with Heaven Opening Profound Treasures and found that one Early Seventh Order wraith essence yielded around thirty-six Rule Crystals in ten days.

Chen Fei sensed that the Night Clan was coming for him and confronted Liao Shounan, who admitted he intended to avenge Liao Xia. Their first clash ended with Chen Fei’s counterstrike making Liao Shounan’s body explode.

• Chen Fei found the wraith spirit essences sold out and decided to ask the Heart Anomaly Division about their sudden demand.
• Liao Huitong told Liao Shounan that the human race was suspected in Liao Xia’s death, and they agreed to destroy the humans before returning to the Night Clan.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Liao Shounan, whose Yin and Yang bodies fought together, and forced him to flee with Liao Huitong using a Lightning Breath Talisman. Chen Fei deployed the Sky Dome Domain as they escaped.

• Liao Shounan fused his Yin-Yang bodies and began comprehending the fusion of Earth Water Fire Wind, forming a powerful barrier as he approached the Creation Realm.

• Chen Fei stopped drawing in the tribulation and struck Liao Shounan through the weakened barrier, killing him.
• Chen Fei stabbed Liao Huitong in the forehead, killing her as well.

Chen Fei killed Liao Huitong and Liao Shounan, gained their resources and techniques, and used their spiritual essences to strengthen his cultivation. He left the secret chamber with the Extreme Abyss Celestial Phenomenon Technique at Great Perfection and the fifth Subordinate Rule of Fire halfway condensed.

• Black Mist from a Space Rift transformed Liao Huitong into a resentful spirit, but Chen Fei cut her down before she could become a greater threat.
• Chen Fei absorbed the spiritual essences of Liao Huitong and Liao Shounan, gaining a major boost to his aptitude from Liao Shounan.

A month later, a Ninth Order Supreme Realm aura appeared above the former Rain Clan territory, as Sky-Reaching Tree Shadows appeared across every great domain of the Void Return Realm.

• Chen Fei used Three Thousand Miles in One Step to teleport thirty thousand miles and assessed how his perfected technique let him outmaneuver powerful Heaven Opening Realm cultivators.
• Chen Fei summoned Weng Zongfang and the other human leaders, explained that resentful cultivators at the Late Heaven Opening Realm and above could draw corrupting Black Mist from Space Rifts, and told them to enforce laws and monitor Qiankun City.
• Chen Fei gave the leaders three Heaven Summoning Pills that could help Dao Integration Realm cultivators comprehend the Earth, Fire, and Wind Subordinate Rules, and left Qiu Gongzhi to distribute them.
• A month later, a Ninth Order Supreme Realm aura descended above the former Rain Clan territory, and Sky-Reaching Tree Shadows appeared across every great domain of the Void Return Realm.

Chen Fei learned that Heaven Opening Realm cultivators across the domains had been ordered to enter the Sky-Reaching Tree and slay resentful spirits, then prepared to travel to the Rain Clan’s territory. He left the Xuanling Domain and drew down Heavenly Tribulation early to strengthen himself before entering the tree, surviving its first lightning strike.

• A Ninth Order powerhouse ordered all Heaven Opening Realm cultivators to reach the Sky-Reaching Tree within ten days and kill resentful spirits of their rank.

• Chen Fei told Li Song to settle Tianbo City’s affairs before they headed to the Sky-Reaching Tree in three days.
• Chen Fei left the Xuanling Domain and began drawing down Heavenly Tribulation to gain the Power of Creation before the journey.
• The first purple lightning bolt shattered Chen Fei’s Hidden Origin Bell and Qian Yuan Sword, struck his left fist, and left him floating above the lake after the light faded.

Chen Fei stopped his first heavenly tribulation attempt after a violet bolt nearly destroyed his body and Origin Point Space, then used the Panel Backup to recover and try again. After enduring three bolts, he gained the Power of Creation, opened the path to the Eighth Order Creation Realm, and departed with greatly improved strength and speed.

• Chen Fei ended his first tribulation attempt after one violet bolt badly damaged his body, Origin Point Space, Hidden Origin Bell, and Qian Yuan Sword.

• Chen Fei withstood the second and third bolts, enduring severe destruction while his physique, soul, vital energy, and Heaven Suppressing grew stronger.
• Chen Fei formed a thread of Power of Creation, recognized that he could reach the Eighth Order Creation Realm by completing the four Main Rules, and teleported fifty thousand miles toward Qiankun City.

After comprehending the Power of Creation, Chen Fei discovered that it had greatly strengthened his divine abilities and sent a battle soldier to protect the Xuan Clan. He then reached the Sky-Reaching Tree, where the gathered cultivators awaited a dangerous mission involving the Heart Anomaly Realm.

• Chen Fei found that the Power of Creation had extended See God Unending's near-death peak state to eighty-one breaths and strengthened the God Slaying Sword and Scattering Beans into Soldiers.
• Chen Fei summoned a Late Heaven Opening Realm battle soldier and offered it to Li Song to guard Tianbo City, assuring him that two battle soldiers would remain in Qiankun City.

• Chen Fei recognized the Sky-Reaching Tree as a special Ninth Order Supreme Realm lifeform and considered the power and influence of the Ninth Order experts.
• Chen Fei joined the Xian Clan's area beneath the Sky-Reaching Tree and learned that the price of wraith essence had risen sharply.
• Chen Fei concluded that the gathered cultivators would likely have to enter the Heart Anomaly Realm to slay wraiths, and wondered whether wraith essence could spare them from the mission.

Chen Fei and the cultivators of Xuanling Domain entered the Heart Anomaly Realm under orders to submit Wraith Spirit Essence each month, and learned that the Sky-Reaching Tree offered healing and protection in return. As Chen Fei led Li Song and the others beyond its barrier to hunt Wraith Spirits, Heaven Suppressing resonated with something in the distance.

• A Ninth Order Supreme ordered every Heaven Opening Realm cultivator to enter the Heart Anomaly Realm and submit one portion of same-rank Wraith Spirit Essence each month, threatening death after three violations.
• Chen Fei entered the Sky-Reaching Tree and found a hundred-mile safe zone connected to other domains; he learned that submitting Wraith Spirit Essence earned spiritual radiance that healed injuries and aided cultivation.
• Chen Fei offered to help Li Song and the other Xuan Clan members restore their lost origins, and they accepted his help with gratitude.
• Chen Fei led Li Song and the others out of the Sky-Reaching Tree's barrier, protected by its power from the Heart Anomaly Realm for about twelve hours.
• As Chen Fei prepared to move farther into the Heart Anomaly Realm, Heaven Suppressing began operating on its own and resonated with something distant.

Chen Fei sensed that the next Heaven Suppressing technique was buried near the Sky-Reaching Tree and led Li Song and the others toward it. On the way, two wraiths ambushed them, but Chen Fei destroyed them with his Extreme Abyss Celestial Phenomenon Technique.

• Chen Fei sensed the location of Heaven Suppressing's subsequent technique within the Heart Anomaly Realm and decided to retrieve it.
• Chen Fei supported Li Song and the others with Origin Power and flew toward the nearby site, proceeding cautiously through the Heart Anomaly Realm.
• Chen Fei used the Extreme Abyss Sword Shield to block an Early Heaven Opening Realm wraith and a Mid Heaven Opening Realm wraith that ambushed the group.
• Chen Fei transformed the shield into two Celestial Phenomenon Swords and shattered both wraiths before their dying soul attacks could harm the group.

Chen Fei led Li Song and the others through the Heart Anomaly Realm, killed wraiths, and gave their essence to help his companions recover. After refusing Wen Yingqi’s invitation to explore a cave abode and driving him off, Chen Fei returned to the Sky-Reaching Tree, then set out alone for the place where Heaven Suppressing was buried.

• Chen Fei discovered that the Bronze Runes could plunder wraiths’ innate talents, then gave Li Song and the others the essence of two slain wraiths to exchange for lower-rank essence.
• Chen Fei and his companions traveled for hours without encountering wraiths, which fled from the Sky-Reaching Trees’ ninth-order power.
• Wen Yingqi invited Chen Fei to explore a nearby cave abode, but Chen Fei declined and kicked Wen Yingqi away when he took offense.
• Chen Fei stopped short of the Heaven Suppressing site and led Li Song and the others back to the Sky-Reaching Tree, giving them essence from four Early Heaven Opening Realm wraiths along the way.
• After telling Li Song and the others to recover, Chen Fei left the barrier alone and flew toward the place where Heaven Suppressing was buried.

Chen Fei reached the Azure Vault Hall and learned more about the Origin Race’s Heaven Suppressing cultivation art from Yan. As Yan passed the inheritance on, Qiong revealed a distorted, disdainful attitude toward Chen Fei, leaving their encounter tense.

• Chen Fei followed Heaven Suppressing’s resonance to a gorge and was transported into the Azure Vault Hall.
• Chen Fei examined murals depicting the Origin Race’s destruction and Yan being besieged by figures whose auras resembled Ninth Order Supremes.
• Yan’s recorded image explained that the Origin Race had developed Heaven Suppressing through the Eighth Order, while its untested Ninth Order method would require Chen Fei to find his own way forward.
• Qiong introduced himself as the Azure Vault Hall’s Artifact Spirit and warned that not just anyone deserved the Origin Race’s defining cultivation art.
• After Yan began passing on Heaven Suppressing and faded away, Qiong claimed Chen Fei’s race must carry Origin Race blood and looked down on him.

Chen Fei accepted Qiong’s test to prove he qualified for the next parts of Heaven Suppressing and entered the cauldron containing Star Turbid Fire. He used his Power of Creation and the Fire Gathering Art to seize the fire source and emerged alive, leaving Qiong’s test unresolved.

• Qiong offered Chen Fei three cauldrons as a test, each containing a deadly force that Qiong expected him to withstand through seventh-order Heaven Suppressing.
• Chen Fei chose the cauldron containing Star Turbid Fire and learned the Fire Gathering Art from Qiong so he could gather its fire source.
• Chen Fei entered the cauldron, and the Star Turbid Fire burned and cracked his flesh.
• Chen Fei used the Power of Creation within him to heal his body and strengthen it against the flames.
• Chen Fei reached the Star Turbid Fire Source Heart, gathered its fire source with the Fire Gathering Art, and flew out of the cauldron.

Chen Fei passed Qiong’s Star Turbid Fire trial and obtained the Eighth and Ninth Order Heaven Suppressing cultivation methods. Qiong then offered a new trial for the chance to upgrade Chen Fei’s weapons, leaving Chen Fei to decide whether to attempt it.

• Chen Fei emerged from the Bronze Cauldron with the Starfall Corrupting Fire Source Heart, and Qiong acknowledged that he had passed the trial.
• Qiong offered Chen Fei another trial and promised to raise his two Heaven Opening Profound Treasures into Creation Profound Treasures, but Chen Fei first demanded the Heaven Suppressing inheritance.
• Qiong handed Chen Fei the Inheritance Stone, and Chen Fei learned the Eighth and Ninth Order Heaven Suppressing methods.
• Chen Fei noticed that Qiong had omitted the Eighth Order method’s notes on difficult cultivation barriers, but he accepted the inheritance without complaint.
• Qiong proposed a trial to learn his modified, single-target Sky Dome Domain within one hour, warning that failure would leave Chen Fei trapped in the Azure Vault Hall forever.
