Lu Yang realized that Grotto-Heavens let True Lords control their Fruit Positions, then brought True Person Demon-Sweeping into the Sea of Suffering to investigate his Sword Dao Fruit Position. There, Demon-Sweeping absorbed the sea’s waters without harm, revealing that Empty Attainment Fruit Positions could filter impurities and grow through the Sea of Suffering.

• Lu Yang reasoned that Fruit Positions were self-sustaining systems of Images, and that True Lords with Grotto-Heavens could occupy and control their Fruit Positions.

• Lu Yang’s Heaven-Inscription Chapter sealed Jade Toad Immortal Lord’s two Resurrection Coins, but she spent her savings and borrowed power to invoke Greater Yin’s Graveyard Image.

• The Nameless Dao Lord responded to Lu Yang’s unspoken curse, asked whether he knew Chu Sheng, and addressed him as a little friend.

Lu Yang resisted the Nameless Dao Lord Si Sui’s attempt to read his thoughts and realized he had been trapped in an illusion inside his Sea of Consciousness. Si Sui appeared before him and offered a deal: help him escape his predicament in exchange for the secrets of Nascent Soul cultivation.

• Lu Yang severed the Lesser Yin and Greater Yin cultivation from his Divine Thought, weakening the voice that had been reading his thoughts.
• Si Sui claimed that the Path-Opening Diagram connected Lu Yang to him, so Lu Yang destroyed the diagram and erased the related Empty Attainment method from his memories.

• Lu Yang concluded that Si Sui had entered his Sea of Consciousness through an illusion after Lu Yang had voluntarily opened it to listen.
• Si Sui appeared as a tall, indistinct figure and offered Lu Yang the secrets of Nascent Soul cultivation if he helped Si Sui escape his predicament.

Lu Yang learned from Si Sui that the Millennial Calamity had ended long ago and that the World Honored One was the Seventh Nascent Soul who helped decide its final battle.

• Lu Yang rejected Si Sui’s offer of help until Si Sui vanished from his Sea of Consciousness, then tested whether Greater Yin would appear by claiming he had seen a Dao Lord.

• Immortal Venerable Greater Yin decided to go to the Sea of Suffering and ordered Lu Yang to hold the Ninth Layer in her absence.

Immortal Venerable Greater Yin brought Lu Yang to the Spirit Platform, where he learned that its connected thoughts could aid Dao comprehension and suspected its origins were tied to the World Honored One.

• Lu Yang agreed to help Immortal Venerable Greater Yin, who pulled him close and let him sense the overwhelming thoughts connected to the Spirit Platform.

As Si Sui neared revival, Immortal Lord Du Xuan agreed to help him break the seal on the Ninth Layer in exchange for the Greater Yang True Fruit. Patriarch Tingyou then stood in Du Xuan’s way, leaving the outcome of their confrontation unresolved.

• Si Sui’s five senses reassembled, but the World Honored One’s Six-Character Mantra suppressed his body and left his Divine Intent sealed on the Ninth Layer.
• Immortal Lord Du Xuan accepted Si Sui’s offer, while Immortal Lord Word Cultivation and Immortal Lord Bright Hall refused to aid him because they would receive no Supreme Fruit Position.
• Immortal Lord Du Xuan ordered Immortal Lord Heavenly Number to hold off Word Cultivation and Bright Hall, then entered the Ninth Layer alone.
• Du Xuan dispersed the white mist and encountered Patriarch Tingyou, who declared that he would stop him despite being an Outer Dao True Lord.
• Du Xuan laughed at Tingyou’s challenge, confident that his Middle-Stage Immortal Lord strength made him vastly superior.

Patriarch Tingyou used Carefree Heaven to create an experimental method for imitating other Fruit Positions, then drew on the Sea of Suffering to make them real enough to form Complete Five Elements. He struck Immortal Lord Du Xuan with his newly amplified power, leaving Du Xuan both furious and stunned.

• Immortal Lord Du Xuan attacked Patriarch Tingyou with Greater Yang radiance, but the blow failed to land as it seemed.
• Patriarch Tingyou transformed Carefree Heaven into an imitation of Great Forest Wood, briefly making its phantom appear real and causing Du Xuan to freeze.

• Patriarch Tingyou rapidly refined the Sea of Suffering’s water, made the transformed Fruit Positions real, and formed Complete Five Elements.
• Patriarch Tingyou grew powerful enough to strike Du Xuan, who was left astonished that an external dao True Lord could achieve such a feat.

Patriarch Tingyou fought Immortal Lord Du Xuan and discovered a way to build upon Carefree Heaven’s Fruit Positions, but True Person Demon-Sweeping had to intervene when Tingyou ran out of strength. Du Xuan then faced Demon-Sweeping, whose sword opened a thousand-zhang Great Dao through the Sea of Suffering.

• Immortal Lord Du Xuan self-destructed his Dharma body, shattering Patriarch Tingyou’s manifested Five Elements Fruit Positions and destabilizing Carefree Heaven.
• Patriarch Tingyou realized he could layer Images of the Five Elements Fruit Positions over Carefree Heaven to create a greater system, and saw this as a path he could scout for Lu Yang.

• Demon-Sweeping’s Sword Light split the Sea of Suffering, revealing a Great Dao a thousand zhang long and wide.

• Lu Yang's domain swallowed Immortal Lord Du Xuan's Yin-Yang strike, then opened a gateway and sent the attack back at him.

Immortal Lord Du Xuan’s Yin-Yang light was turned back against him by Lu Yang, who trapped him in a newly formed world and inflicted grave wounds. Du Xuan realized Lu Yang’s power exceeded his current strength and charged into close combat to prevent him from using more abilities.

• Lu Yang summoned Patriarch Tingyou and True Person Demon-Sweeping through the Righteous Banner and merged their powers into his Yellow Court.

• Lu Yang and Patriarch Tingyou overwhelmed Du Xuan with Images and inscribed a rule preventing an Immortal Lord from reviving after death.
• Du Xuan realized that the sun and moon in his sky were Lu Yang’s eyes and discovered he had been fighting inside a small world held in Lu Yang’s palm.
• Lu Yang revealed that True Person Demon-Sweeping’s Sword Dao let him sustain the world without spending his own dharma power, then suppressed and sealed Du Xuan.

Si Sui detonated his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body to break the World Honored One’s Spirit Platform seal, while Lu Yang watched the Ninth Layer collapse. The freed Divine Intent awakened, but instead of returning to Si Sui, it spoke a Buddhist greeting.

• Immortal Venerable Greater Yin taunted Si Sui after Lu Yang suppressed Immortal Lord Du Xuan, while Si Sui considered detonating his recovered body parts to escape defeat.

• Si Sui’s Divine Intent opened its eyes, received his message, stood up, pressed its palms together, and said, “Amitabha.”

The World Honored One converted Si Sui’s remaining Divine Intent into the Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm, ending the threat of Si Sui’s return. Immortal Venerable Greater Yin asked for the promised Mystic Pearl, but the Tathagata demanded Lu Yang instead, and she agreed.

• The World Honored One used their fixed thought-link to convert Si Sui, who came to believe he was a fragment of the World Honored One and became the Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm.
• Immortal Venerable Greater Yin explained that the conversion completed a hundred-thousand-year scheme to erase Si Sui, then asked the Tathagata to grant her the promised Mystic Pearl.
• The Tathagata said the scheme’s flaw had left him with only a strand of Divine Intent rather than a complete Dao Lord dharma body, and demanded Lu Yang as compensation.
• Immortal Venerable Greater Yin agreed to hand over Lu Yang, deciding that her Junior Brother would have to suffer for her Dao Path.

The Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm pursued Lu Yang after taking the Empty Attainment Fruit Position, but Lu Yang escaped into the Void Darkness Land. Lu Yang found a place linked to his past bloodshed where the pursuit could not reach him, and went to investigate, leaving the Tathagata astonished when their Karma was severed.

• The Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm found the Celestial Court deserted, while Lu Yang hid in the Void Darkness Land and considered restarting his life.
• Lu Yang sensed danger at every possible destination and suspected the Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm had locked onto him.
• Lu Yang discovered a safe place tied to the blood he had shed in the Void Darkness Land and decided to risk going there rather than waste a page of the Hundred Lives Book.
• Lu Yang descended toward the site and saw that it resembled a footprint, while the Immovable Tathagata of the Vajra Realm sensed that his Karma with Lu Yang had been severed.
