Chen Fei learned about the Xuan Yu Realm, its primordial demons, and the role of Immortal Crystals before entering it with the Void Return Realm. There, the Xuanyuan Sword's trace resonated with a distant place just as a group of primordial demons approached, leaving Chen Fei to face the threat while slowed by his realm.

• Chen Fei read the memories of seven Tianhua Tower cultivators and learned about the Cangxia Domain, its powerful factions, and the primordial demons.

• The trace of the Xuanyuan Sword began resonating with a distant place as Chen Fei sensed a group of primordial demons approaching.
• Chen Fei realized he could not outrun the primordial demons while carrying the Void Return Realm, stopped, and turned toward the spatial grid.

Chen Fei discovered that he could remove the Void Return Realm’s mobility burden by altering the Space Grid and storing the plane inside it. He then headed for Ethereal City as the primordial demons pursued him, confident that his speed and Night Demon War Soldier gave him an edge.

• Chen Fei rejected abandoning the Void Return Realm because doing so would doom its inhabitants and the human race.

• Chen Fei used the space heavenly dao to speed toward Ethereal City, and the primordial demons pursued him as the Night Demon War Soldier kept pace.

Chen Fei escaped the pursuing primordial demons and reached Ethereal City, where he sought a faction to support his new life as a Realm Lord. He joined Lingxiao Tower for its generous offer and extensive collection of techniques, and began examining the Great Dao Art.

• Chen Fei reached Ethereal City after the primordial demons abandoned their pursuit.
• Chen Fei entered the city and attracted the attention of six powerful factions because his aura revealed he was a newly ascended Realm Lord with his own plane.
• The factions offered Chen Fei different rewards, and he chose Lingxiao Tower for its high remuneration and rich collection of cultivation techniques.
• Zhu Shiyu welcomed Chen Fei, gave him a jade token containing ten thousand immortal crystals, and led him to Lingxiao Tower's library.
• Zhu Shiyu handed Chen Fei the Great Dao Art, a technique commonly cultivated by Realm Lords.

Chen Fei learned from Zhu Shiyu how Realm Lord cultivation depended on scarce resources and discovered arts that could condense Great Dao Stones. He remained in the Lingxiao Tower library, studying manuals while considering the requirements for advancing and the treasures he would need.

• Zhu Shiyu gave Chen Fei the Great Dao Art and Five Elements True Explanation, then explained the risks of cultivating too quickly in the Xuan Yu Realm.
• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei that Realm Lords needed 1,296 Great Dao Stones to reach the mid-stage and 3,888 to reach the peak.
• Zhu Shiyu showed Chen Fei six manuals that could condense Great Dao Stones, including the Heavenly Enlightenment Art, which formed one in about 150 years.
• Zhu Shiyu explained that a chaos leaf was also required to break through to the mid-stage and that such treasures were generally won in secret realms.
• After Zhu Shiyu left, Chen Fei browsed the Lingxiao Tower library and read manuals, including arts with difficult prerequisites.

After studying Lingxiao Tower’s library, Chen Fei returned to the Void Return Realm and merged hundreds of techniques into the Great Dao Sword Chapter. He began mastering it with the realm’s spiritual inspiration, reaching the Proficient Realm in moments.

• Chen Fei read the library’s techniques and histories, learning about the primordial demon calamities and the treasures needed for cultivation in the Xuan Yu Realm.
• Chen Fei found that Lingxiao Tower’s library lacked techniques that bypassed breakthrough requirements and decided he might seek them through the Miaoxuan Association.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard, entered the Void Return Realm, and used his panel to merge the techniques he had collected.
• Chen Fei simplified the new Great Dao Sword Chapter into the Hun Tian Sword Chapter, spending his remaining ten thousand Immortal Crystals.
• Chen Fei drew spiritual inspiration from the Void Return Realm and advanced his understanding of the Great Dao Sword Chapter to the Proficient Realm.

Chen Fei cultivated the Great Dao Sword Chapter to the Great Perfection Realm, greatly improving his combat strength and ability to absorb world vital energy. Short on the resources needed to advance, he tested condensing Great Dao Stones and found that the Night Demon War Soldier reduced the time required for one stone from roughly ninety years to thirty.

• Chen Fei reached the Great Perfection Realm in the Great Dao Sword Chapter, increasing his combat strength by more than thirty percent.
• Chen Fei surveyed the Void Return Realm and saw that Qiu Gongzhi was preparing to break through to the Eighth Order Creation Realm while other human cultivators advanced rapidly.
• Chen Fei returned to Ethereal City, absorbed world vital energy until he could take in no more great dao particles without resources, and concluded that he lacked the Immortal Crystals, Great Dao Stones, and chaos leaves needed to progress.
• Chen Fei used a secret method from the Great Dao Sword Chapter to form an embryonic Great Dao Stone and estimated that completing one himself would take about ninety years.
• Chen Fei brought out the Night Demon War Soldier and had it absorb world vital energy alongside him, reducing the estimated time to condense one Great Dao Stone to thirty years.

Chen Fei sought a faster way to condense Great Dao Stones and learned that he could use manuals to improve the process. After Zhu Shiyu gave him a technique and Immortal Crystals, Chen Fei integrated six more manuals into the Great Dao Sword Chapter and prepared to continue condensing a stone.

• Chen Fei realized that his linked Night Demon War Soldier let him condense one Great Dao Stone in thirty years, but he wanted to speed up the process.
• Chen Fei visited Zhu Shiyu and told him he had learned to condense Great Dao Stones, then asked about faster methods.
• Zhu Shiyu gave Chen Fei the Great Dao Stone Generation manual, warned that it depleted the user's foundations, and lent him thirty thousand Immortal Crystals.
• Chen Fei spent the Immortal Crystals at the Miaoxuan Association on six manuals for accelerating Great Dao Stone condensation.
• Chen Fei integrated all seven manuals into the Great Dao Sword Chapter, restored the technique to great perfection, and returned to his courtyard with his embryonic Great Dao Stone.

Chen Fei discovered that his fused secret art could condense Great Dao Stones far faster by consuming his source essence, and he began testing ways to improve the process. Meanwhile, Luan Jingtong learned that Chen Fei had joined Lingxiao Tower and struggled to find a way to kill him.

• Chen Fei used the Night Demon War Soldier and his fused secret art to condense a Great Dao Stone in two hours, nearly draining the soldier of his cultivation.
• The Night Demon War Soldier recovered in a day, and Chen Fei found that working with him could produce a Great Dao Stone every ten hours without either falling below the Realm Lord Realm.
• Chen Fei considered using Great Dao Stones to advance his physique and experimented with refining one to strengthen his source essence.
• Luan Jingtong confirmed that the new Realm Lord in Ethereal City, Chen Fei, was the man who had killed Luan Xianyuan.
• Luan Jingtong considered ways to take revenge but knew he could not break through Chen Fei's tier-ten plane alone.

Chen Fei sold one Great Dao Stone and bought body-refining techniques to improve his cultivation, then went to the Miaoxuan Association for more. Meanwhile, powerful figures in the Cangxia Domain discovered a much larger-than-usual horde of essence demons approaching, possibly drawn through a new secret realm.

• Chen Fei stopped fusing Great Dao Stones into his body after Dragon Elephant Void Return proved too crude to control his growing physical power.
• Chen Fei sold one complete Great Dao Stone to a small Ethereal City shop for nine hundred thousand low-grade immortal crystals and bought six ordinary body-refining techniques.
• Chen Fei entered the Miaoxuan Association intending to spend no more than fifty thousand low-grade immortal crystals on additional techniques.
• Several powerful figures in the Cangxia Domain saw more than twice the usual number of essence demons and suspected a new secret realm had let them cross the Cold Mountain Domain's defenses.
• Chen Fei hurried back to his courtyard after purchasing body-refining techniques.

Chen Fei merged and mastered the Sky-Supporting Void Return Art, improving his control and combat strength as he refined Great Dao Stones in Ethereal City. After months of rising essence demon activity, he remained in the city and was summoned to the Lingxiao Tower’s base, where he met its other attendants.

• Chen Fei merged his body-tempering arts into the Sky-Supporting Void Return Art and simplified it into Dragon Elephant Void Return.
• Chen Fei cultivated the new art to great perfection, restoring precise control of his physique and raising his combat strength.
• Chen Fei chose to remain in Ethereal City despite reports of increasingly active essence demons, trusting the city’s detection and evacuation measures.
• Chen Fei spent several months condensing and refining Great Dao Stones while monitoring conditions around Ethereal City.
• Chen Fei received a summons through his Lingxiao Tower jade pendant and went to the tower’s base, where he greeted its other Realm Lord attendants.

Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu were assigned to reinforce the guard at Lingxiao Tower’s Origin Demon Flesh Pool in Danzhai Valley. After arriving, Chen Fei settled into cultivation, and eight months later he had nearly a thousand Great Dao Stones fused into his physique, bringing him close to the peak of the Early-stage Realm Lord Realm.

• Zhu Shiyu explained that Lingxiao Tower had assigned him and Chen Fei to guard the Origin Demon Flesh Pool in Danzhai Valley, where they would earn one Great Dao Stone for each year of service.
• Zhu Shiyu told Chen Fei that experts from the Cold Mountain Domain were suppressing the Origin Demons spreading through the Cangxia Domain.
• Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu flew to Danzhai Valley, where Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian welcomed them and brought them into the valley.
• Chen Fei noticed the unusual auras of Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian, then settled in the nearby city and focused on refining Great Dao Stones.
• After eight months of cultivation, Chen Fei had nearly a thousand Great Dao Stones fused into his physique and needed just over two hundred more to reach the peak of the Early-stage Realm Lord Realm.

Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian used the Origin Demon Flesh Pool’s inky World Vital Energy to advance their cultivation and decided they might need to sacrifice Realm Lords to reach the Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm. Meanwhile, Cold Mountain Domain’s reinforcements suppressed the origin demons in Cangxia Domain, and four months later Chen Fei’s physique reached a critical threshold.

• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian discussed how refining the Origin Demon Flesh Pool’s inky World Vital Energy had steadily loosened their bottlenecks, while the pool’s growing appetite made ninth-rank cultivators less effective as food.
• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian concluded that the Origin Demon Flesh Pool might require a Realm Lord, and they plotted to weaken Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu before feeding them to it in six months.
• Wu Gengdian and Ren Zhonglian considered moving Chen Fei’s plane into Danzhai Valley so the pool could consume a Realm Lord and the plane’s living beings together.
• Cold Mountain Domain sent more than a dozen Earth God Realm experts and hundreds of powerful Realm Lords to Cangxia Domain, where they helped suppress and drive origin demons toward the new secret realm.
• Four months passed, and Chen Fei’s physique reached a critical threshold inside his cultivation room.

Chen Fei attempted to advance his physique to the Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm without a secret realm supreme treasure, but the breakthrough caused his flesh to cannibalize itself as his essence power ran low. He used the Night Demon War Soldier's power to complete the transformation, then began condensing Great Dao Stones.

• Chen Fei pushed his physique toward the Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm, but the transformation consumed essence power faster than he could replenish it.
• As his flesh began cannibalizing itself and showing signs of aberration, Chen Fei realized he needed more power to finish the breakthrough.
• Chen Fei had the Night Demon War Soldier transfer all its power into him, causing its body to disintegrate as his physique's transformation resumed.
• Chen Fei broke through to the Mid-stage Realm Lord Realm and found that his Great Dao Stones had fused into a single great dao imprint within his flesh.
• Chen Fei restored the Night Demon War Soldier with the panel's backup, then began condensing Great Dao Stones and brightened at the result.

After breaking through to the mid-stage Realm Lord Realm, Chen Fei increased his Great Dao Stone production but discovered that his soul had to keep pace with his growing physique. Two months later, Zhu Shiyu invited him to a banquet where Wu and Ren planned to discuss a newly emerged secret realm.

• Chen Fei found that his mid-stage physique reduced the cost of condensing Great Dao Stones, allowing him and the Night Demon War Soldier to produce four a day.
• Chen Fei studied the limits of physique cultivation and decided to balance improvements to his body with his essence power and soul.
• Over two months, Chen Fei condensed more than two hundred Great Dao Stones and discovered that eighty stones spent on his physique required another eighty for his essence power and soul to restore control.
• Chen Fei absorbed the remaining stones into his essence power and soul until the abnormal sensation in his physique disappeared.
• Zhu Shiyu visited Chen Fei and invited him to a banquet hosted by Wu and Ren to discuss exploring a newly emerged secret realm.
