Lu Yang and Sky Soaring faced off after Sky Soaring escaped Lu Yang’s grasp by using his Dao attainment to combine two Fruit Position Images. Lu Yang refused to abandon his path to reverse Chen Earth, and his defiance ignited as he took a final step toward Sky Soaring.

• Sky Soaring combined the Images of White Wax Metal and Sand-In-Metal Earth to escape Lu Yang’s Fire in the Sky.

• Lu Yang established a rule that Buddhism could not flourish in Jiangxi for a thousand years, with anyone cultivating it facing Heavenly Fire Burning Punishment.
• The World Honored One’s Buddha Light appeared to approach, then vanished, and Lu Yang laughed as Fire in the Sky shone more brightly than ever.

Lu Yang halted his attempt to seek the Golden Fruit Position after realizing his foundation and governance were incomplete, then abolished the Pure Land’s authority across Jiangxi. He left the next stage of his plan clear: to bring the Five Realms Under Heaven under one nation.

• Chongguang arrived and recognized that Lu Yang had attained the ultimate Foundation Establishment state, Return to Simplicity.
• Lu Yang told Chongguang there was no day like today and said he would reverse Chen Earth for him, prompting Chongguang to suspect a trap.

Lu Yang reversed Chen Earth, stripping Sky Soaring of two Fruit Positions and forcing him to hide in the Netherworld. Chongguang repaid Lu Yang with a Jade Box of Ten Thousand Martial Realm energy and a Jade Slip that revealed the missing step in Golden Seeking: the Sacred Sect's Zou Yu Descendant.

• Lu Yang used Yama Hall and the Image of Covered Lamp Fire to reverse the world's Chen Earth and restore it to Yang.

• Lu Yang replenished False Holding Fire's depleted Gold Nature with White Chi Gold Nature from the Dragon Palace Treasury.
• Chongguang thanked Lu Yang for opening the Golden Seeking Dao Path and gave him a Jade Box and a Jade Slip in repayment.
• Lu Yang recognized the Jade Box's contents as vast Ten Thousand Martial Realm energy and realized the Jade Slip identified the Sacred Sect's Zou Yu Descendant as the missing Variable in Golden Seeking.

After reading Chongguang’s Jade Slip, Lu Yang connected the Sacred Sect’s Zou Yu Descendants to altered history and a hidden bargain between the Sacred Sect Ancestor and the World Honored One. He realized their existence threatened his attempt to attain Fire in the Sky and wondered who had guided Chongguang to deliver the clue.

• Lu Yang read that the Sacred Sect’s Zou Yu Descendants had entered the sect five thousand years ago and connected the date to a contradiction in the history of the Zou Yu and Tian Wu dynasties.
• Lu Yang concluded that the World Honored One had altered history and that the Sacred Sect Ancestor had kept the Zou Yu Descendants as leverage over him.
• Lu Yang realized the Sacred Sect’s Zou Yu Descendants likely came from an erased history and were not rooted in the current world.
• Lu Yang recognized that their immense Karma and exclusion from Fire in the Sky’s radiance could stain his attempt to Govern the World.
• Lu Yang decided he would need to reach the source of the Zou Yu Descendants rather than kill them, then questioned who had guided Chongguang to bring the Jade Slip.

After refining the qi of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, Lu Yang completed the Heaven stage of Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms and traveled with Chongguang to the Sacred Sect. They arrived at Sacred Fire Cliff, where the clan chief of the Zou Yu Descendants came out to greet them.

• Lu Yang suspected that True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow or the Sacred Sect Ancestor had guided Chongguang, and decided to visit the Sacred Sect.
• Lu Yang devoured the qi of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm and transformed his Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body into Heaven, allowing heaven and earth to respond to him.
• Lu Yang called Chongguang, and they set off together for Jiangbei; Lu Yang traveled through the Cloud Sea on foot as the landscape carried him forward.
• Lu Yang and Chongguang arrived at Sacred Fire Cliff, where Yu Zhou bowed to them and Lu Yang recognized him as the clan chief of the Zou Yu Descendants.

Lu Yang sought Fire in the Sky from Yu Zhou, the helmsman of the Zou Yu Descendants, and learned about a legacy connected to the mysterious True Lord Hongyun. The legacy suggested Great Forest Wood might offer a path to Fire in the Sky, while Lu Yang suspected the Sacred Sect held a passage between the Disordered History and the Real World.

• Lu Yang revealed that he worked for the Dao Court, frightening Yu Zhou, who knelt and pleaded for the Zou Yu Clan’s life.
• Lu Yang reassured Yu Zhou that he had come to seek Fire in the Sky, not to kill him.
• Yu Zhou explained that his clan’s Imperial Lord had helped refine the Kanli True Art of Position Shift and gave Lu Yang the brass-bound Imperial Heaven Illuminating the World Scripture.
• Yu Zhou described the scripture’s author as a True Lord from Beyond Heaven who had fallen from his Fruit Position, reincarnated, and risen to power; Lu Yang suspected the man was Hongyun.
• Lu Yang found a passage suggesting Great Forest Wood might offer a chance to attain Fire in the Sky and wondered whether the Sacred Sect contained a passage linking the Disordered History to the Real World.
• Yu Zhou said Hongyun had failed to attain Fire in the Sky, died, and likely reincarnated again.

Lu Yang realized that the Zou Yu Descendant could be sent into the Law Refining Secret Realm, but Yu Zhou revealed that it had been sealed. Accepting that he would have to investigate the Disordered History, Lu Yang asked where the Zou Yu Clan had entered the Sacred Sect, and Yu Zhou pointed him toward True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow's bedchamber.

• Lu Yang concluded that the Disordered History resembled a Law Refining Secret Realm and considered using the realm to resolve the Zou Yu Clan's problem.
• Yu Zhou told Lu Yang that the Law Refining Secret Realm had been sealed off.

After he entered the mirror, Flying Snow revealed that defeating her would let him enter the Forbidden Land and strengthen his origin.

• Chongguang led Lu Yang to the Abyss-Sinking Assembly Scroll and explained that visitors had to last one incense stick against Flying Snow’s image to earn her summons.
• Lu Yang inferred that the entrance to Disordered History lay in Flying Snow’s sealed bedchamber and stepped beneath the Heavenly Saint Observation Mirror to test himself.
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow appeared in the mirror at Lu Yang’s Foundation Establishment level and recognized that he had come for the forbidden.
• Lu Yang asked Flying Snow to open a gate to the Chaotic Land, and she agreed on the condition that he defeat her.
• Flying Snow told Lu Yang that the Forbidden Land could strengthen his origin before he became a True Lord and had helped her rise to prominence.

Lu Yang fought True Lord Flying Snow to earn entry into Chaotic History, countering her water techniques with his own arts and sword intent. After he broke her spell, Flying Snow explained that Chaotic History was an abandoned possibility in which the World Honored One achieved the Nascent Soul.

• Lu Yang decided that regardless of the Sacred Sect Ancestor’s motives, he would defeat True Lord Flying Snow and enter Chaotic History.
• True Lord Flying Snow unleashed Abyssal Sink One Qi Heavenly River True Art, but Lu Yang countered with Beacon Sunfire Scripture, Sun-Viewing Imperial Radiance Register, and Heaven and Earth Respond to Me.
• Flying Snow survived Lu Yang’s counterattack by transforming into streams of water, then explained that she would use any tactic necessary to win.
• Lu Yang secretly prepared a Gold-Inlaid Military Command Talisman and combined it with Calamity Waves and Unbending Sword Intent to break Flying Snow’s water technique.
• Flying Snow revealed that origin meant a cultivator’s possibilities and that Chaotic History was a possibility where the World Honored One proved the Dao and achieved the Nascent Soul.

Lu Yang fought True Lord Flying Snow and earned her permission to enter the Disordered History with the Zou Yu Clan. When he asked about seeking Golden Seeking, she judged his chances of success at ninety percent but warned that he would surely die.

• True Lord Flying Snow used Forbidden Knowledge to overwhelm Lu Yang and seal the surrounding heaven and earth.
• Lu Yang’s injuries strengthened his aura, and he summoned Mystic Capital Blessed Land before clashing with True Lord Flying Snow again.

• Lu Yang asked True Lord Flying Snow about his chances of Golden Seeking if he returned the Zou Yu Descendant without causing trouble.
• True Lord Flying Snow told Lu Yang he had a ninety percent chance of succeeding at Golden Seeking, but would surely die.

Lu Yang left Feixue Palace unharmed after True Lord Flying Snow warned that Golden Seeking had a ninety percent chance of success but would mean certain death. He took Yu Zhou and the Zou Yu Clan into the Disordered History, intending to uncover how the Dao Court Lord might sabotage his Golden Seeking and seize Fire in the Sky.

• True Lord Flying Snow dismissed Lu Yang after warning him that Golden Seeking carried certain death despite a ninety percent chance of success.
• Lu Yang emerged from Feixue Palace unharmed, and Chongguang brought Yu Zhou and the Zou Yu Clan to him.
• Lu Yang took Yu Zhou into Feixue Palace and said he would enter the Disordered History with them to investigate the possibility of Golden Seeking.
• Lu Yang suspected that the Dao Court Lord might sabotage his Golden Seeking to bring Fire in the Sky under the Dao Court's control, using the Immortal Kingdom Dao Law against him.
• Lu Yang reasoned that the Sacred Sect Ancestor might be acting to prevent the Dao Court Lord from obtaining Fire in the Sky and resolved to uncover the Dao Court Lord's method inside the Disordered History.

Lu Yang entered Disordered History through a Floor Mirror in Feixue's bedchamber and arrived at the sealed Zou Yu Ruins. He learned that this world had no Dao Lords and that the Demon Sect had been destroyed, leaving him stunned.

• Lu Yang identified the Floor Mirror as an entrance to Disordered History, put Yu Zhou away, and stepped through it.
• At the Zou Yu Ruins, Chen Dao and Liu Xiao discussed the vanished Zou Yu Clan, the Qi-Eating Insects, and rumors of an unknown True Lord emerging from the ruins.
• Lu Yang joined Chen Dao and Liu Xiao's conversation and learned that the present world had no Dao Lords and that the Yama Path had three True Lords.
• Lu Yang deduced that without Sky Soaring, Mu Changsheng had benefited from a different course of history and supported Yanmo Ancestor in winning against the Sword Sect's True Person.
• Lu Yang asked about the power in Jiangbei and learned that the Immortal Court had long ago wiped out the Demon Sect.

Lu Yang learned that Sky Soaring had appeared in the False History and killed True Lord Hongtian, then discovered Hongtian was now Overseas and preparing to seek Fire in the Sky again. He decided to find Hongtian and help him seek gold, recruiting Suo Huan to lead the way.

• Chen Dao told Lu Yang that a mysterious, mist-shrouded True Lord had killed Ling Xiao and True Lord Hongtian before vanishing.
• Lu Yang realized the mysterious figure was Sky Soaring and wondered whether the Sacred Sect Ancestor, rather than the World Honored One, had created the False History.
• Lu Yang identified True Lord Hongtian as Otherworldly Hongyun’s counterpart and concluded Sky Soaring had used Hongtian to prepare for killing Hongyun in the Real World.
• Chen Dao explained that Hongtian had joined the Yama Path after returning as a Heretical True Lord, failed to seek Fire in the Sky, and was now Overseas drawing in the Dragon Clan.
• Lu Yang decided to find Hongtian and help him seek gold, then summoned Suo Huan, who offered to guide him Overseas.
