Lu Yang realized that the Immortal Alliance’s [Divine Offering] could let cultivators gradually replace heaven and earth’s natural order with their own, creating a method to remake the Light Sea. As he considered the implications, Emperor Jiayou approached with Cang Hao hidden within him.

• Mu Changsheng explained that Immortal Alliance cultivators had used [Divine Offering] to gain control over mountains and regions by refining their aura into divine power.
• Lu Yang recognized the process as using human qi to replace heaven-and-earth Spiritual Qi and saw how the Deification Method could expand this control across the Light Sea.
• Lu Yang compared his fine-grained, collective method with the [Heavenly Dao] and concluded that it could replace heaven and earth’s original system.
• Lu Yang sensed trouble approaching and saw Emperor Jiayou walking across the sea, with Cang Hao’s aura concealed within him.

Emperor Jiayou confronted Mu Changsheng over the Immortal Alliance and threatened to erase it if Mu refused to join the Dao Court. Mu rallied the Alliance’s cultivators through [Divine Offering], elevating [Non-Existent Heaven] to the status of an orthodox Fruit Position as their clash began.

• Emperor Jiayou arrived at the Immortal Alliance and congratulated Mu Changsheng on finding a new path beyond ordinary True Lord status.

• Mu Changsheng and a towering golden figure uplifted [Non-Existent Heaven], raising it from an External Dao Fruit Position to the status of an orthodox Fruit Position.

Lu Yang used the Immortal Alliance’s cultivators to raise [Non-Existent Heaven] and sever the Alliance’s homeland from Immortal Pivot, then fought Emperor Jiayou to a standstill. After Emperor Jiayou withdrew, the World Honored One claimed responsibility for Mu Changsheng’s move and offered Cang Hao cooperation.

• Lu Yang used [Wishful Heart] and [Divine Offering] to sever the Immortal Alliance’s homeland, its Foundation Establishment Realm, and part of the [Sea of Suffering] from Immortal Pivot and Light Sea, declaring, “Severed Earth and Heaven!”
• Lu Yang and Emperor Jiayou’s profundities collided, restoring the flooded seabed and dimming [Roadside Earth] as the two True Lords fought to a standstill.
• Emperor Jiayou withdrew after receiving the Son of Heaven’s order, while Lu Yang taunted him for being defeated by a lower cultivator.
• At [Other Shore], the World Honored One inferred that Huanyao had awakened and claimed to Cang Hao that Mu Changsheng and the Immortal Alliance had acted on his behalf.
• The World Honored One asked whether Cang Hao was interested and offered to cooperate.

Lu Yang used the battle with Emperor Jiayou to promote his Deification Method and obtained a [Fortune] Image for Empress Xiao, then sought the [Heavenly Remnant Consciousness] to learn about the Primordial Spirit. He confronted Heaven's Gatekeeper in the [Dao-Seeking Heavenly Gate Diagram] and offered to help awaken Pan Huang and the other ancient-path cultivators.

• Lu Yang withdrew his consciousness from Mu Changsheng after the strain of resisting Emperor Jiayou's attack nearly shattered Mu Changsheng's [Divine Offering].
• Lu Yang gave Empress Xiao the [Fortune] Image he had intercepted from Emperor Jiayou, and she refined it and converted to the Deification Method three days later.

• Heaven's Gatekeeper attacked Lu Yang with the Array Diagram, but Lu Yang stopped its operation with a stomp.
• Lu Yang introduced himself as Great Virtue and told Heaven's Gatekeeper that he had come to help awaken Pan Huang and the other twelve ancient-path cultivators.

Lu Yang asked Heaven's Gatekeeper to help build a collective consciousness and revive Pan Huang and the other Great True Lords under the Deification Method, offering to rescue Si Sui as leverage. Heaven's Gatekeeper sent him into the Light Sea's Dark Side, where Lu Yang found the sleeping Great True Lords and the three ownerless Mind-Fasting Sword Spirits, while again forgetting to ask about cultivating a Dao Heart Primordial Spirit.

• Lu Yang asked Heaven's Gatekeeper to assist his undertaking and agreed to complete Si Sui's trial by awakening Pan Huang and the others.
• Lu Yang demanded that Pan Huang and the other Great True Lords switch to the Deification Method as a condition of revival, and he claimed he could rescue Si Sui.
• Heaven's Gatekeeper challenged Lu Yang to awaken and persuade the Great True Lords himself, then sent him into the Light Sea's Dark Side.
• Lu Yang found the sleeping Great True Lords and the Sword Lord's first disciple's three ownerless Mind-Fasting Sword Spirits, which he wanted for their Destiny remnant and their potential to aid Master Demon-Queller.
• Lu Yang remembered that he had forgotten to ask Heaven's Gatekeeper about cultivating a Dao Heart Primordial Spirit, but decided to ask after leaving the Dark Side.

Lu Yang discovered that the Great Sword Sect who survived was his Evil Consciousness, which had taken control of the three Dao Sword Gods after the Good Consciousness was killed. As [Fated Death] closed in, the Evil Consciousness attacked Lu Yang, who declared that he would kill him himself.

• Lu Yang's awakening stirred the sword chimes, and the Evil Consciousness seized control of them to suppress Pan Huang and the other Great True Lords.
• Lu Yang appeared and scattered the sword chimes' killing intent, saving Pan Huang and the others.
• Lu Yang used his Dharma Eye to reveal the phantom's face and deduced that it was Great Sword Sect's Evil Consciousness, while Sword Lord had killed the Good Consciousness.
• The Evil Consciousness explained that [Fated Death] would return now that his disguise was exposed, and a vast presence began closing in on him.
• The Evil Consciousness blamed Lu Yang and attacked, but Lu Yang said he would personally slay him.

Lu Yang used [Heaven-Dripping Marrow] to alter the river of [Destiny] and kill the Great Sword Sect’s evil consciousness before it could strike, stopping the [Fated Death] aimed at the Sword Lord. He gave the recovered Sword Gods and the Image of [Destiny] to True Person Demon-Sweeping, then decided to search the Dark Side for Butian Que.

• The Great Sword Sect’s evil consciousness prepared a devastating sword of consciousness, but Lu Yang refused Pan Huang’s offer to form an array and faced it alone.
• Lu Yang used [Heaven-Dripping Marrow] to view and alter countless futures until he found one in which the evil consciousness died.
• Lu Yang drew [Calamity Waves] and guided destiny toward that outcome, causing the evil consciousness to shatter and the Sword Lord’s [Fated Death] to disperse.
• Lu Yang collected [Demon-Queller], [Quexie], [Demon-Subduer], and the Image of [Destiny] and gave them to True Person Demon-Sweeping.
• Lu Yang set aside his plan to contact Heaven’s Gatekeeper and decided to search the Dark Side for Butian Que.

Sword Lord and Cang Hao learned that Wanbao had made a move in the Real World and agreed to cooperate with him after seeing a promising future. On Light Sea’s Dark Side, Lu Yang confronted Butian Que and tried to recruit him away from the [Heavenly Dao] and Sword Lord’s camp.

• Sword Lord consulted the river of destiny about Wanbao’s move, then agreed with Cang Hao to cooperate with him.
• Lu Yang used the resonance between Yin-Yang Great Daos to find Butian Que’s consciousness on Light Sea’s Dark Side.
• Butian Que entered the Dark Side through the [Yin Great Dao] and met Lu Yang, who identified himself as Great Virtue.
• Lu Yang warned Butian Que about Chu Sheng’s plan for the Dao Lords to hunt the True Lords of Light Sea after the [Other Shore] collapsed.
• Lu Yang urged Butian Que to abandon the [Heavenly Dao], join him, and hand over the power of the [Five Elements] Great Dao.

Lu Yang secretly allied with Butian Que, arranged for the transfer of [Five Elements] power, and resurrected Pan Huang. After realizing a mysterious [Lock] suppressed knowledge of the Primordial Spirit across the Light Sea and Netherworld, Lu Yang saw a possible way forward when the World Honored One invited him to False History.

• Lu Yang persuaded Butian Que to secretly siphon off some of the great power of [Five Elements] and send it to Light Sea's Dark Side.
• Lu Yang resurrected Pan Huang, who agreed to switch to Lu Yang's lineage, and assigned him to help transport the intercepted power.
• After withdrawing his consciousness from the Light Sea, Lu Yang remembered the Primordial Spirit and realized that a [Lock] had erased awareness of it across the Light Sea and Netherworld.
• Lu Yang considered who could learn about the Primordial Spirit and enter the [Heavenly Palace], but found no suitable candidate among those he knew.
• Guangming, possessed by the World Honored One, looked past Mu Changsheng toward Lu Yang and invited him to visit False History.

Lu Yang learned that the World Honored One and the Sword Lord planned to send him into False History to spread the Immortal Alliance’s system throughout the Light Sea. He realized their plans depended on when False History returned to reality, and sought an earlier entry so he could contact Si Sui and help him escape before the [Other Shore] collapsed.

• The World Honored One explained that the Sword Lord and he would conceal Lu Yang in False History while he expanded the Immortal Alliance’s system across the Light Sea.
• The World Honored One said he would send Lu Yang into a distant era by erasing his Karma and reincarnating him as an infant.
• Lu Yang inferred that the Sword Lord wanted to release Si Sui after the [Other Shore] collapsed, while the World Honored One intended to protect Dao Tianqi’s pawn from [Heavenly Dao].
• Lu Yang decided he needed False History to return before the [Other Shore] collapsed and that Si Sui had to break out of his prison to help him seize the initiative.
• Lu Yang asked the World Honored One to send him into an era closer to the Dao Lord War from one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years ago.

Lu Yang realized that absorbing cultivators into the [Heavenly Palace] could naturally complete the Images of the five great Heavenly Numbers, but a slight rise in rank nearly made him lose his way in Void Darkness. He asked Pan Huang for guidance on cultivating a Primordial Spirit, and Pan Huang began to share Si Sui’s concise teaching.

• Pan Huang ascended into the [Heavenly Palace], and Lu Yang recognized the [Variable] Image appearing on him.
• Lu Yang realized that the Images of the five great Heavenly Numbers could be completed by absorbing cultivators into the [Heavenly Palace] and studied the Overseas Immortal Alliance’s newly established gods.
• Mu Changsheng persuaded several Heretical True Lords to convert to the Deification Method, and their arrival slightly raised Lu Yang’s rank.
• The increase nearly made Lu Yang lose his way in Void Darkness, so he recognized the danger and resolved to seek the path of the Primordial Spirit.
• Lu Yang thanked Pan Huang for his help and asked for guidance on the Primordial Spirit; Pan Huang said Si Sui had described it in a single sentence.

Lu Yang learned from Si Sui’s remembered words that cultivating a Primordial Spirit meant breaking free of obsession through a struggle against the self, but discovered that the method had been suppressed and erased. The chapter ended with True Person Demon-Sweeping and Empress Xiao arriving at the Heavenly Palace, and Lu Yang recognizing that his master had emerged from seclusion and stabilized his cultivation.

• Pan Huang repeated Si Sui’s words, prompting Lu Yang to contemplate the struggle between the True Self and obsession required to manifest a Primordial Spirit.
• Lu Yang concluded that his path through good and evil consciousness was too extreme for him and that the Dao Lords had both locked and killed knowledge about the Primordial Spirit.
• Pan Huang realized that he could not remember the specific method Si Sui had once passed down.
• True Person Demon-Sweeping and Empress Xiao arrived as the Heavenly Palace shook again.
• Lu Yang recognized that True Person Demon-Sweeping had emerged from seclusion, and the feedback from his breakthrough stabilized Lu Yang’s state and removed a hidden danger.

Lu Yang witnessed True Person Demon-Sweeping create the [Black Tortoise Sage-Protector Life Steward Divine Position], a new system built on [Destiny] that could challenge the Light Sea and strengthen Lu Yang’s Deification Method. As Lu Yang planned to obtain remnants of [Fixed Number] from [Sky Soaring], True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow arrived at the Overseas Immortal Alliance and drew the attention of a gaze from the [Other Shore].

• Lu Yang recognized that True Person Demon-Sweeping had fused the three Sword Deities into a Divine Position rooted in the [Heavenly Palace], distinct from a Fruit Position.
• The Dharma Sword burst apart, revealing seven divine offices that could each support a True Lord and govern lifespan, karmic burdens, Fortune, Merit, good and evil, cultivation, and Destiny.
• Lu Yang concluded that the Divine Position filled a loophole in the Deification Method and considered whether Divine Positions could eventually replace the Five Great Heavenly Numbers.
• Lu Yang decided that [Sky Soaring] was the best target from whom to obtain remnants of [Fixed Number], and planned to ambush him in the [Human World].
• True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow arrived openly at the Overseas Immortal Alliance, and a detached gaze from the highest point of the [Other Shore] shifted toward her.

True Lord Flying Snow visited the Overseas Immortal Alliance, where Mu Changsheng pledged his group to the Sacred Sect and gave her a way to contact them about Hongyun. After Lu Yang secretly influenced Mu Changsheng, he realized Chu Sheng had not detected the hidden truth and decided he wanted to use [Out-of-Drama Observer] to observe Flying Snow.

• Chu Sheng's gaze fixed on True Lord Flying Snow as her [Ravine Stream Water] Fruit Position swept the Immortal Alliance into a vision of a vast Heavenly River.
• Mu Changsheng greeted Flying Snow, who explained that she had come to meet the Heretical True Lord who resisted Jiayou and noted that his allies had left her Sacred Sect.
• Mu Changsheng pledged himself and his fellow cultivators to Flying Snow, who asked them to watch for Hongyun and alert her if he appeared.
• Mu Changsheng gave Flying Snow the [Responsive Perception Meridian] method as a way to communicate despite possible interference from the Dao Court, and she accepted it.
• Lu Yang revealed that he had used [Out-of-Drama Observer] to make Mu Changsheng offer the method and feared Chu Sheng would discover the hidden cause.
• Lu Yang concluded that the Hundred Lives Book and the Three Dao Lords had helped conceal the truth from Chu Sheng, then considered using [Out-of-Drama Observer] to observe Flying Snow.

Lu Yang arranged for Pan Huang, disguised as Mu Changsheng, to meet True Lord Flying Snow inside [Nourishing Life Lord], allowing Lu Yang to observe her through a concealed strand of his Divine Thought. Chu Sheng suspected a lower cultivator was behind the move, while Lu Yang deliberately left Pan Huang as a misleading clue.

• True Lord Flying Snow received the coordinates to [Nourishing Life Lord] and entered it after sensing Chu Sheng was not stopping her.
• Chu Sheng noticed that Feixue had entered [Nourishing Life Lord] and speculated that a lower cultivator was acting for a Dao Lord.
• Inside [Nourishing Life Lord], Pan Huang, disguised as [Mu Changsheng], met True Lord Flying Snow and gave her a strand of Divine Thought.
• True Lord Flying Snow examined the Divine Thought and entered meditation, while Lu Yang successfully completed his observation of her.
• Lu Yang explained to Pan Huang that his own disguised Divine Thought enabled the observation and that Pan Huang would serve as a false lead for Chu Sheng.

Lu Yang used the [Out-of-Drama Observer] to uncover how the Ancestral Dragon’s [Seizing the Huai] had doomed True Lord Flying Snow and tried to place a concealed piece on her. When she left [Nourishing Life Lord], a colossal hand lifted her toward a vast being that saw through her and fixed its gaze on Lu Yang.

• Lu Yang observed True Lord Flying Snow’s fate and learned that the Ancestral Dragon’s [Seizing the Huai] would let him seize her Fruit Position, body, and soul.
• Lu Yang considered ways to free Flying Snow from [Seizing the Huai] and decided to use [Fate-Reforming Revolution], which he hoped to conceal from the First Saint.
• Flying Snow discovered information about her origins and a hazy gray mass with a crimson flash in her Sea of Consciousness, realizing someone had placed a piece on her.
• Flying Snow accepted Lu Yang’s attempt to challenge the First Saint, then left [Nourishing Life Lord] and fell into complete unconsciousness.
• Lu Yang watched through Flying Snow’s eyes as a gigantic hand carried her upward until a vast being examined her and looked directly at him.

Lu Yang watched Chu Sheng investigate True Lord Flying Snow’s memories and successfully concealed himself while planting the [Fate-Reforming Revolution] in her Sea of Consciousness. Chu Sheng left the hidden method untouched and became suspicious of the Sword Lord and Cang Hao, advancing Lu Yang’s plan to weaken the Dao Lords and exploit their conflict.

• Lu Yang feared Chu Sheng had discovered him, but realized Chu Sheng was examining Pan Huang through True Lord Flying Snow’s memories.
• Chu Sheng uncovered Pan Huang’s identity and traced a strand of Lu Yang’s Divine Thought to a little Yao, but [Dove Occupies Magpie’s Nest] kept Lu Yang concealed.
• Chu Sheng saw clues about the Ancestral Dragon and suspected the Sword Lord and Cang Hao had discovered problems with the [Five Elements] seal.
• Chu Sheng removed True Lord Flying Snow’s newly gained memories but failed to notice the [Fate-Reforming Revolution] hidden beneath the [Great Dao of Yin].
• Lu Yang celebrated his success and planned to use the planted method to weaken Chu Sheng while encouraging conflict among the Dao Lords.

True Lord Flying Snow discovered a hidden presence in her Sea of Consciousness and took heart from the possibility that it had escaped Chu Sheng’s notice. Meanwhile, [Sky Soaring] fled the Netherworld, was struck down by Chu Sheng, and reemerged as Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord before escaping into the [Human World], leaving Lu Yang to wonder what he intended in the False History.

• True Lord Flying Snow realized her memories had been altered, found a hazy gray presence with crimson light in her Sea of Consciousness, and hid her delight that it might have escaped Chu Sheng’s notice.
• A deathly surge from the Netherworld alerted cultivators across the Real World, and Lu Yang recognized that [Sky Soaring] had escaped.
• [Sky Soaring] emerged with five Fruit Position Stars, drew a Great Dao from the Netherworld, and was struck down by Chu Sheng after declaring, “Di Mouni!”
• The World Honored One received [Sky Soaring] through the Karmic Net, restoring him as Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord, who then fled into the [Human World].
• Lu Yang realized that [Sky Soaring] had deliberately abandoned the Netherworld and suspected that Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord, a person of the First History, had designs on the False History.

Lu Yang reasoned that [Sky Soaring]’s reclaimed identity as Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord could make him stronger, and that Chu Sheng had likely intended him to destroy the Netherworld and elevate [Other Shore]. He sent Pan Huang to meet [Sky Soaring] with Lu Yang’s foundational cultivation method, then resolved to recruit [Sky Soaring] for himself.

• Lu Yang concluded that Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord had existed in the First History and used the reversed histories to remain in the Second History as [Sky Soaring].
• Lu Yang went to [Miluo Palace] and gave Pan Huang a Jade Slip containing [Way of Transforming Methods and Reforming the Dao] and the outline of [Purify Defilement, Wash the Heart Chapter], along with coordinates for [Human World].
• Pan Huang questioned why Lu Yang would risk exposing his foundational method, and Lu Yang explained that [Sky Soaring] needed to accept his Dao to become a reliable ally.
• Lu Yang deduced that Chu Sheng’s preferred plan was for [Sky Soaring] to kill Dao Tianqi, destroy the Netherworld, and help [Other Shore] rise to the Ninth Layer.
• Lu Yang believed his interference had forced Chu Sheng into a more complicated backup plan and resolved to recruit [Sky Soaring].

Ling Xiao recalled a mysterious figure urging him to use [Quzhi] to restore False History and pursue the side path of [Yin-Yang], but suspected the plan was a trap. When Pan Huang arrived in the [Human World] with a gift sent under orders, Ling Xiao saw a chance to exploit rival Dao Lords’ schemes.

• Ling Xiao reviewed his meeting at the [Ghost Gate], where a mysterious figure advised him to seek the side path of [Yin-Yang] through [Quzhi] and False History.
• Ling Xiao concluded that the proposed path concealed a deadly flaw and that the figure was forcing him toward it because he had few alternatives.
• Pan Huang appeared in the [Human World] and announced that he had come under orders to deliver a gift to [Sky Soaring].
• Ling Xiao recognized the crimson Jade Slip as carrying peak Great True Lord profundity and decided that competing Dao Lords’ schemes could give him opportunities to play both sides.

Ling Xiao studied two methods delivered by Pan Huang and realized they offered a chance to abandon the Grotto-Heaven Method in exchange for the missing continuation of the Dao Heart teachings. Suspecting the offer concealed a transaction, he tested Pan Huang by attacking him.

• Ling Xiao examined the crimson Jade Slip and discovered the [Way of Transforming Methods and Reforming the Dao] and the incomplete [Purify Defilement, Wash the Heart Chapter].
• Ling Xiao realized the transformation method could convert a cultivator to another Dao lineage, while the second method revealed that the Dao Heart could advance toward Mind Fasting and the Primordial Spirit.
• Pan Huang said his master would trade the continuation of the teachings for a strand of Ling Xiao's Gold Nature, leaving the choice to Ling Xiao.
• Ling Xiao inferred that the Gold Nature would serve as proof of allegiance and considered whether the buyer was reliable and the offer valuable enough.
• Ling Xiao vanished from Pan Huang's sight, pierced his chest with a palm, and erased half his body.

Ling Xiao tested Pan Huang in battle while seeking proof that Lu Yang could offer him a viable Nascent Soul Dao Path. Lu Yang appeared in person and threatened to take Ling Xiao’s Gold Nature if he still hesitated, revealing himself to be an Ultimate Great True Lord rather than a Dao Lord.

• Pan Huang raised his Response Body into a Reward Body, but Ling Xiao overwhelmed him with the Attaining-Enlightenment Hidden Profound Residence and erased his avatar.
• Pan Huang escaped when his hand axe briefly broke Ling Xiao’s suppression, and Ling Xiao deduced that Pan Huang’s true body was elsewhere.
• Pan Huang asked why Ling Xiao had held back, and Ling Xiao considered whether the great figure behind him would recognize the message he had sent.
• Lu Yang realized Ling Xiao was testing his sincerity and decided to offer a practical Dao Path despite the risks.
• Lu Yang appeared beside Pan Huang and declared that he had answered Ling Xiao’s question, threatening to take his Gold Nature if Ling Xiao hesitated.
• Ling Xiao recognized Lu Yang as an Ultimate Great True Lord and regarded him as the perfect buyer.

Lu Yang explained to Ling Xiao why the supposed path to [Yin-Yang] was a trap, then revealed his plan to create a new [Other Shore] and overthrow the Dao Lords. Ling Xiao agreed to judge the plan by testing Lu Yang's strength, leaving their cooperation to be decided by a duel.

• Lu Yang told Ling Xiao that [Other Shore] had room for only six Dao Lords and that attaining [Yin-Yang] could not let him ascend unless a position became vacant.
• Lu Yang identified Cang Hao as the likely Dao Lord who had sent Ling Xiao toward the false path and revealed that the World Honored One, Sword Lord, and Cang Hao had sent him into False History.
• Lu Yang described his plan to spread a new method, appoint gods to control the Light Sea, and establish a new [Other Shore].
• Lu Yang explained that Chu Sheng's Spirit Transformation Ascension plan would collapse [Other Shore] and bring the Dao Lords down to the mortal world, where Lu Yang would confront them.
• Ling Xiao rejected the idea of betraying Lu Yang and asked how Lu Yang could be certain his plan would work; Lu Yang admitted he could not be certain, so Ling Xiao decided to test whose Dao was stronger.

Ling Xiao and Lu Yang fought with their Great Daos, and Lu Yang used [Heaven-Dripping Marrow] to anticipate Ling Xiao’s techniques. After Ling Xiao seemingly killed Lu Yang’s avatar, Ling Xiao realized he had been trapped inside [Heaven in the Palm], where Lu Yang declared himself the stronger one.

• Ling Xiao attacked Lu Yang with [Attaining-Enlightenment Hidden Profound Residence], but Lu Yang used [Dust Tribulation Sea] to escape the strike.
• Ling Xiao studied Lu Yang’s resistance to Perception Barrier and revealed his Great Dao technique, [Edict of Obedience].
• Lu Yang used [Heaven-Dripping Marrow] to see the future and analyze Ling Xiao’s techniques and foundations.
• Ling Xiao reversed life and death and the flow of profound arts, causing Lu Yang’s avatar to age to death and crumble into ashes.
• Ling Xiao realized the [Human World] had not expanded; he had shrunk inside Lu Yang’s [Heaven in the Palm], and Lu Yang declared, “The stronger one is me.”

Lu Yang and Ling Xiao ended their initial clash in a stalemate as Ling Xiao escaped Lu Yang’s [Heaven in the Palm] and struck back with karma and time. Ling Xiao then challenged Lu Yang to a Dao Struggle, and Lu Yang revealed [Heavenly Calendar Number] to test whether his path could surpass [Quzhi].

• Ling Xiao reversed the dead end of Lu Yang’s [Heaven in the Palm] into a way out and returned to [Human World].
• Ling Xiao attacked Lu Yang by reversing karma and time, while Lu Yang cast his injuries and tribulations into [Dust Tribulation Sea].
• Ling Xiao asked Lu Yang where his supreme treasure was, and Lu Yang explained that it was the foundation of his enlightenment, not a weapon.
• Ling Xiao ended the stalemate, revealed his Gold Nature within [Quzhi], and challenged Lu Yang to prove that his Dao stood higher.
• Lu Yang descended with [Heavenly Calendar Number], presenting his Empty Attainment Fruit Position against Ling Xiao’s [Quzhi].
