Ye Guyue arrived in the Blessed Land Fragment and helped Yun Zhiqiu force Multi-Treasure Boy to surrender the Immortal Toon. As the three tried to escape, they found Lu Yang waiting atop the mountain that pinned down the fragment, and Ye Guyue recognized him with killing intent.

• Ye Guyue suppressed her anger while Multi-Treasure Boy and Yun Zhiqiu pursued one another over the Immortal Toon.
• Yun Zhiqiu accused Multi-Treasure Boy of taking the Immortal Toon and demanded he hand it over.
• Ye Guyue sided with Yun Zhiqiu, pressured Multi-Treasure Boy with Sword Intent, and made him surrender the Immortal Toon.
• Ye Guyue calculated the direction of the exit, and she, Yun Zhiqiu, and Multi-Treasure Boy flew toward it.
• The three reached a mountain pinning down the Blessed Land Fragment, where Lu Yang greeted Ye Guyue and provoked her killing intent.

Lu Yang trapped the exit of the collapsing Blessed Land Fragment beneath Embrace Mountain and prepared to face Ye Guyue. When Multi-Treasure Boy entered Lu Yang’s array to test it, he surrendered to the Sacred Sect instead, leaving Ye Guyue furious.

• Lu Yang suppressed the Blessed Land Fragment’s exit with Embrace Mountain and set an array to force Ye Guyue to confront him or risk a dangerous escape.
• Ye Guyue sent Multi-Treasure Boy into the array to break it, but refused his request to borrow the Immortal Toon for protection.
• Lu Yang activated the Blood Sea Heaven-Covering Grand Array and empowered its blood waves with the Three-Nine Soul-Destroying Gourd’s smoke.
• Seeing the array’s power, Multi-Treasure Boy surrendered to the Sacred Sect and begged Lu Yang to spare his life.
• Ye Guyue condemned Multi-Treasure Boy as a Jiangbei devil whose vile nature could not change.

Ye Guyue tried to break Lu Yang’s Blood Sea Heaven-Covering Grand Array, but Lu Yang countered her methods and exposed a missing sword in her Nine-Son Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Art. Ye Guyue sacrificed Yun Zhiqiu to complete the sword, and after their weapons clashed, the array shattered and her sword flew back into her sleeve beyond her control.

• Ye Guyue used an energy-absorbing pearl against Lu Yang’s blood sea, but Lu Yang mixed Qi-Eating Insects into it and attacked her with the Invisible Sword.

• Ye Guyue empowered the completed Nine-Son Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword and clashed with Lu Yang’s Avici Sword.
• The collision shattered the Blood Sea Heaven-Covering Grand Array, and Ye Guyue’s sword flew back into her sleeve against her command.

Lu Yang defeated Ye Guyue in the Blessed Land Fragment and repeatedly prevented her escape, but she fled when the fragment began to collapse. He then used the Ten Thousand Treasure River to seize her back, intent on obtaining her Second Grade True Art.

• Lu Yang used Embrace Mountain and the Mountain Moving True Method to stop Ye Guyue from escaping and trapped her in a mud shell, but she escaped the shell and fled.
• Ye Guyue evaded Lu Yang’s attacks until the Blessed Land Fragment cracked, then escaped through a fissure to the former site of the Qing Kingdom.
• Lu Yang gathered his eight superior Spiritual Treasures and other treasures, then unleashed the Ten Thousand Treasure River.
• The Ten Thousand Treasure River swept Ye Guyue back into the Blessed Land Fragment as nearby cultivators fled.
• Lu Yang demanded Ye Guyue’s Second Grade True Art, but refused to trust her account of it; the Sacred Sect’s True Persons recognized him as Yuantu.

Lu Yang learned how Second Grade True Arts harvested essences from other Jietians to aid cultivation, though he could not use the Divine Weapon Realm without reincarnating there. He then witnessed True Person Chongguang fail to raise his Blessed Land into a Grotto-Heaven, leaving the cultivators connected to Chen Earth overwhelmed by his sorrow.

• Lu Yang extracted Ye Guyue's insights and realized the Divine Refining Liberation Sword Art used Qi Harvesting to incorporate other Jietians' Fruit Positions into one's own.
• Lu Yang learned that the Divine Weapon Realm was difficult to access and that the Sacred Sect's Qian Tian Yi Yuan Unified All Gods Method drew on the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, where the Pure Land also competed.
• A brilliant Golden Cup Light illuminated the sky and revealed a vast Blessed Land, leading Lu Yang to suspect that True Person Chongguang had succeeded.
• Lu Yang recognized that the manifested realm remained a Blessed Land rather than ascending into a Grotto-Heaven.
• True Person Chongguang's attempt collapsed, and his sorrow passed through the Fruit Position into the hearts of cultivators with Chen Earth in their divine powers.

Chongguang failed to reverse all Chen Earth and vanished as his Blessed Land collapsed, leaving a final message through the Invisible Sword. True Lord Flying Snow told Lu Yang the message no longer changed the overall situation, and he learned that the original Yin Earth of Chen was in the Netherworld.

• Chongguang realized the original Yin Earth of Chen had caused his failure and accepted that he would be reborn as pigs and dogs for 147 lifetimes.
• Chongguang dissipated beneath Covered Lamp Fire, but cast down a strand of Divine Sense before his Cave Yang Blessed Land collapsed.
• Lu Yang saw Chongguang's Xin Metal Qi glowing in the Invisible Sword and was confronted by True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow.
• True Lord Flying Snow said Chongguang's message would not affect the overall situation and that a century earlier there might have been a chance to change things.
• Lu Yang discovered Chongguang's final message: the original Yin Earth of Chen was in the Netherworld.

True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow revealed that Sky Soaring had hidden the Yin Earth of Chen in the Netherworld and offered Lu Yang a chance to become the Sacred Sect’s next acting leader. She also warned him away from Empty Attainment, leading him to suspect that the Nascent Soul Dao Lords used it as bait to lure and destroy outside Fruit Positions.

• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow explained that Sky Soaring had concealed the Yin Earth of Chen in the Netherworld and was seeking to become its Lord, but Chongguang had exposed his plans.
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow offered Lu Yang thirty years to refine the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, reach Mid Stage perfection, and qualify as the Sacred Sect’s next acting leader.
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow promised to help Lu Yang improve his Dao attainment using Chongguang’s Spiritual Embryo Immortal Toon and urged him to harvest qi to restore his Merit Fortune.
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow warned Lu Yang that the Pure Land of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm would oppose him and advised him to ask Miaoyin about the realm.
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow told Lu Yang to abandon Empty Attainment, and he inferred that the Nascent Soul Dao Lords had set it up as bait to draw in outside Fruit Positions.
• Lu Yang wondered whether someone could secretly take away a Fruit Position gained through Empty Attainment without a Nascent Soul Dao Lord noticing.

After the battle, Lu Yang returned to Sacred Sect and considered pursuing Second Grade Empty Attainment while preparing to increase his cultivation and Fortune. True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade arrived to refine the Immortal Toon into a medicinal pill and warned him that going Beyond Heaven to harvest qi could make him a target for cultivators in other Jietian.

• Lu Yang praised Multi-Treasure Boy, then used the Avici Sword to reduce the unconscious Ye Guyue to dust.
• Lu Yang returned to Luofeng Mountain, where he and Patriarch Tingyou discussed the revived Witch Ghost Sect and Lu Yang’s cultivation plans.
• Patriarch Tingyou advised Lu Yang to consider Second Grade Empty Attainment, and Lu Yang said he trusted True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow to provide him with a pill.
• True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade appeared, introduced herself as Clear Serene Flying Snow’s old acquaintance, and began preparing a Jia Wood medicinal pill from the Immortal Toon.
• True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade warned Lu Yang that his fame and talent made him a valuable target, prompting him to realize that cultivators in other Jietian might harvest him for qi.

After True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade’s tea deepened his Dao attainment, Lu Yang refined a new Innate Divine Ability and considered how to use a damaged demonic sword. True Person Miaoyin then visited Luofeng Mountain offering another copy of her husband’s cultivation method, and Lu Yang suspected she had an ulterior motive.

• True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade gave Lu Yang blue-violet tea that strengthened his soul and helped him comprehend the wood element.
• Lu Yang used the Imperial Golden Seal of Daoshuai True Decree to develop Lost Harmony Magnet, a divine light that disrupted divine abilities, Spiritual Treasures, and Dharma artifacts.
• Lu Yang examined Ye Guyue’s damaged Nine-Son Mother Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword and considered consulting the Dharma Manifestation Pavilion about its ability to avert calamities.
• True Person Miaoyin arrived at Luofeng Mountain dressed elegantly and offered Lu Yang a copy of the Qian Tian Yi Yuan Unified All Gods Method to compare with her husband’s version.
• Lu Yang concealed his doubts from True Person Miaoyin but recognized that something was wrong with her.

True Person Miaoyin invited Lu Yang to travel with her to the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, but Lu Yang suspected she was plotting to kill him and began preparing for trouble. After meeting him, Miaoyin contacted Suo Huan and offered him Lu Yang as a supreme-grade target for harvesting qi.

• True Person Miaoyin asked Lu Yang to accompany her to the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, and Lu Yang eagerly agreed.
• After Miaoyin left, Lu Yang told Patriarch Tingyou that she was likely conspiring with someone to harm him.
• Lu Yang reasoned that Miaoyin’s decision to approach him despite holding the advantage meant she wanted something so great that she might be seeking his life.
• Lu Yang decided to prepare in advance and went to the Dharma Manifestation Pavilion.
• At her sealed Dao field, True Person Miaoyin contacted Suo Huan through a mirror and identified Lu Yang as a supreme-grade person for harvesting qi.

True Person Miaoyin persuaded Suo Huan to join her in killing Yuantu in exchange for helping her survive her tribulation. Their discussion was interrupted when Suo Huan’s formation trapped Chong Ying, whom he prepared to attack.

• True Person Miaoyin revealed that Suo Huan was the escaped Son of Destiny from a destroyed Jietian who sought to revive it through Qi Harvesting.
• True Person Miaoyin urged Suo Huan to kill Yuantu while True Lord Flying Snow was incapacitated, and Suo Huan agreed after Miaoyin offered to help him harvest Yuantu’s qi.

• True Person Miaoyin asked about the materials for a Heavenly Water Kan Harmony Elixir, and Suo Huan said his target was about to enter his trap.
• Suo Huan showed True Person Miaoyin that his formation had trapped Chong Ying at sea, then entered the formation and threatened the Dragon King.

Suo Huan captured Chong Ying and gave him to True Person Miaoyin, who planned to refine him into an elixir to help her survive the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Meanwhile, Lu Yang began preparing a Celestial Embryo avatar so it could travel Beyond Heaven in his place, and expected it to be ready within three months.

• Suo Huan suppressed and captured Chong Ying, then sent him to True Person Miaoyin as payment for her help tracking down Chongming.

• Lu Yang began cultivating the Celestial Embryo, planning to send it Beyond Heaven and estimating that it would be ready within three months.

Chongming fled overseas under his father Chongguang’s instructions, only to be found by Suo Huan, who revealed his plan to seize the Long Flowing Water Fruit Position with True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade’s backing. Meanwhile, Lu Yang’s Celestial Embryo was completed.

• Chongming arrived at a hidden island overseas, where Xu Xin met him and then departed.
• Chongming decided to hide from True Person Miaoyin and outlive her, but Suo Huan appeared and suppressed him with overwhelming power.
• Suo Huan explained that Chongguang had protected Chongming and arranged his overseas position, while Chongming’s Karma enabled a secret meeting with True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade.
• Suo Huan offered to seize the Long Flowing Water Fruit Position and serve True Lord Splendid Silk Brocade in exchange for a Golden Core Fruit.
• Lu Yang entered the quiet chamber and found that his Celestial Embryo had been completed.

Lu Yang prepared his Celestial Embryo Clone with self-destruct restrictions, the Qi of Earth Vein, and powerful treasures, then used it to accompany True Person Miaoyin toward the Ten Thousand Martial Realm. The Heavenly Hall’s Dao Attendant began transporting them to the realm, leaving their arrival underway.

• Lu Yang finished preparing the Celestial Embryo Clone, adding self-destruct restrictions and fusing it with the Qi of Earth Vein.
• Lu Yang equipped the clone with nearly all his treasures and empowered it to appear to be a perfected middle-stage Foundation Establishment True Person.

A boy in Luo Family Village awakened a Villager Destiny Star as his master, General Chen, explained the coming of the Demon Incursion. A rift opened above Heaven Pillar Mountain, and martial artists across the world felt driven to kill those emerging from it and claim the throne.

• The boy practiced Destiny-Answering Fist under General Chen and awakened his Destiny Star, which identified him as a Villager.
• General Chen told the boy that Villagers lacked martial arts blessings, then explained how the Demon Incursion could create exceptions and bring forth the Day Son of Heaven and Night Son of Heaven.

• Hundreds of millions of stars lit up, while martial artists with awakened Destiny Stars saw the rift and felt an irresistible urge to kill those who emerged and become king of the world.

Lu Yang entered the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, discovered its Destiny Stars embodied cultivation Fruit Positions, and negotiated with the realm’s heaven and earth for a Destiny Star in exchange for Qi of Earth Vein. After using the star’s essence to begin cultivating a Dharma Body, he resolved to use it to preserve all his treasures through Restarting.

• True Person Miaoyin suggested that she and Lu Yang separate, and they parted ways while she concealed her plan to summon Suo Huan to kill him.
• Lu Yang assessed the Ten Thousand Martial Realm and realized its cultivators relied on Destiny Stars, which manifested Fruit Positions.

• Lu Yang decided to cultivate the Dharma Body so it could absorb his Spiritual Treasures and let him bring all his gains back after Restarting.

Lu Yang learned how Destiny Stars and formations suppressed status in the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, then used Sugar Beans to feed the fleeing Villagers of Luo Family Village. He invited them to follow him as he set out to create a world without hunger.

• Wu Changkong led an army to Heaven Pillar Mountain, but was shocked that Lu Yang could withstand its Thousand Soldiers formation.

Lu Yang used Qi-Eating Insect Eggs and a simplified Qi Gathering Method to incite the villagers of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm to rebel, and their uprising rapidly spread. Meanwhile, True Person Miaoyin summoned Suo Huan to help her kill Lu Yang, only to be caught in a trap as he arrived.

• Lu Yang gave the villagers Qi-Eating Insect Eggs and taught them a simplified method for gathering Destiny Star qi, urging them to kill Warriors and seize their power.

• As Suo Huan emerged from the mirror, he sealed Heaven and Earth and restrained True Person Miaoyin, revealing that she had taken the bait.

Suo Huan arranged support from the Pure Land, Dao Court, and Sacred Sect to overcome the obstacles preventing him from seeking gold. After securing help to complete his Blessed Land and address his cultivation shortfall, he turned to the immobilized True Person Miaoyin, the one remaining flaw in his plan.

• Suo Huan resolved to risk everything to reach Golden Seeking despite his limited lifespan and innate cultivation ceiling.

• Suo Huan concluded that the three powers had provided a sliver of hope and turned toward the immobilized True Person Miaoyin.
