Lin Fan and his companions parted with hopes of meeting again, while Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er discovered that seven immortals had descended to the Immortal Martial Continent. Dragon One revealed that the immortals had come to collect tribute and harvest the lower realm, leaving Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er facing a grave threat.

• Lin Fan warned Lin Zixiao and his companions to be careful before they parted, and Daoist Duobao hoped they would meet again in the Immortal Realm.
• Xiao Ling'er told the five elders that her rapid cultivation made her a poor choice for the next sect master, so they agreed to ask Lin Fan for guidance.

• Dragon One told Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er that the Immortal Realm descended every six hundred thousand years to harvest cultivators and resources, and that the Dragon Family had once been devastated during a previous harvest.

Xiao Ling'er learned that seven upper-realm immortals had descended to harvest heavenly talents and resources, and she began preparing the Moon Embracing Sect for their arrival. As the sect’s leaders gathered in response to nine bell chimes, Luo Tianyi identified the sect as a target while Long Aojiao agreed to help defend it.

• Dragon One told Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er that upper-realm forces descended every six hundred thousand years to purge dissidents and harvest resources, prompting Xiao Ling'er to return and prepare the Moon Embracing Sect.

• Nine bell chimes summoned the Moon Embracing Sect’s important members to the Moon Embracing Palace, where Yaya explained that Xiao Ling'er had ordered the assembly after learning of a major threat.

Xiao Ling'er called Moon Embracing Sect’s leaders together after learning that seven immortals would descend to the mortal realm to harvest resources and prodigies. They left the sect’s disciples and elders scattered for safety, while the Sect Master’s direct lineage prepared to face the coming battle without Lin Fan.

• Fan Jianqiang and the other direct disciples, including Shi Hao, refused to flee; Yaya used Lin Fan’s token to enforce the plan to evacuate the elders and other sect members.
• Moon Embracing Sect emptied in three days, leaving fewer than thirty people behind as Huo Kunlun, the Sword Gods, and others departed.

Huo Zhen descended to the lower realm and unleashed his pent-up resentment by slaughtering people on his way toward the Moon Embracing Sect. Qiu Yongqin confronted him and trapped him in a strange world, but Huo Zhen froze the Venerated Soul Banner and began seizing it, leaving Qiu Yongqin to rally the released Ghost Kings against him.

• Deng Tai'a told Li Chungang that the Moon Embracing Sect’s younger generation had already surpassed the old Sword Gods, and that they had not stayed behind merely to await death.
• Huo Zhen, an immortal from the Huo Family who delighted in killing geniuses, massacred a peaceful city and continued slaughtering people as he traveled toward the Moon Embracing Sect.
• Qiu Yongqin, disguised as Li Feiyu, blocked Huo Zhen’s path and used formations, hidden attacks, and a strange treasure to draw him into a separate world.
• Huo Zhen overwhelmed Qiu Yongqin’s formation and attacks, then froze the Venerated Soul Banner and its countless vengeful ghosts with his icy breath.
• As Huo Zhen tried to refine the frozen banner, Qiu Yongqin used Myriad Sword Transformation to free the Ghost Kings and sent the vengeful ghosts charging at Huo Zhen.

Qiu Yongqin fought Huo Zhen inside the jade bottle, using the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art to recover the Venerated Soul Banner before Huo Zhen overwhelmed him and recognized the treasure as possibly the Sky Grasping Bottle. Ji Chutong arrived and battled the wounded True Immortal, but after losing much of her strength and grotto-heavens, she stood between him and the unconscious Qiu Yongqin as Huo Zhen launched another killing attack.

• Huo Zhen froze the ghosts attacking him while forcibly refining the Venerated Soul Banner, and Qiu Yongqin summoned strange thunder that pierced Huo Zhen's defenses and let him retrieve the banner through a spatial rift.
• Huo Zhen attacked Qiu Yongqin and suspected his jade bottle was the legendary Sky Grasping Bottle, then wounded him with three strikes of his Immortal Artifact spear.

• Ji Chutong used the Nine Swords of Immortal Slaying to sever Huo Zhen's arm, but she was gravely injured and lost most of her Grotto-Heavens.
• Huo Zhen demanded that Ji Chutong leave, but she raised her sword to protect Qiu Yongqin, and Huo Zhen attacked them both again.

Xiao Ling'er and Yaya joined Ji Chutong and Qiu Yongqin to kill Huo Zhen, a True Immortal, but his dying shout about the Sky Grasping Bottle alerted immortals in both the lower and upper realms. As the surviving immortals began investigating, the Moon Embracing Sect prepared for the danger, while Ji Chutong insisted on staying to help.

• Xiao Ling'er and Yaya arrived in time to save Ji Chutong and fought Huo Zhen, combining their techniques to overpower him and take his immortal spear.

• The Great Monk failed to tear through the stabilized space, found no clues at the ruined battlefield, and headed toward the Moon Embracing Sect to vent his anger and investigate.
• Xiao Ling'er reported Huo Zhen's death to the sect and planned to refine a new strange flame, but Ji Chutong refused to leave and insisted she still owed Lin Fan.

• Fan Jianqiang proposed that the disciples work together to ambush any immortals who arrived, but Long Aojiao rejected the plan and went to face the enemy alone.
• Long Aojiao intercepted Old Monk Qingyuan before he could strike the Moon Embracing Sect and fought him with the Overlord Divine Fist and Overlord Divine Halberd.
• Yaya and Shi Hao recognized that Long Aojiao was pushing herself with explosive techniques and might not be able to sustain the fight, even as she suppressed Qingyuan.
• Long Aojiao seized an opening, blasted Qingyuan apart, and annihilated his body and soul before hiding her injuries and retreating to a secret chamber to recover.
• Fan Jianqiang and the others counted five immortals remaining, while the surviving immortals sensed Qingyuan's death and wondered how someone in the Lower Realm had killed him.

Zhou Qi and Tu Shanna plotted to seize the True Dragon and Pure-blooded Kirin at the Moon Embracing Sect, while Fan Jianqiang’s disciples prepared a trap for them. He Qiang lured Zhou Qi into taking a mysterious black stone, and Zhou Qi vanished when Tu Shanna launched her sneak attack.

• He Qiang met Zhou Qi at the sect gate and claimed Long Aojiao had killed Qingyuan and that the sect had a hidden escape route inside a black stone.
• Zhou Qi took the black stone from He Qiang, and Tu Shanna launched her attack as Zhou Qi vanished without a trace.

He Qiang trapped Zhou Qi inside the Divine Tomb while the others joined forces to ambush and apparently kill Tu Shanna. Fan Jianqiang urged everyone to stay cautious and seal the stone, while inside it Zhou Qi encountered a newly awakened, amnesiac young man and prepared to draw his sword.

• He Qiang sent Zhou Qi into the Divine Tomb and stirred up attacks inside, hoping the tomb’s awakening dangers would kill him.
• Tu Shanna attacked Ao Bing and the Fire Kirin, but Liu Jianmin’s hidden Love Massage disrupted her as the group launched a coordinated ambush.
• The attackers bombarded Tu Shanna for nine rounds until no trace of her remained, and Fan Jianqiang warned that she might still be alive and ordered the area sealed.
• Yaya and the others found out Zhou Qi was trapped inside He Qiang’s stone, and Fan Jianqiang chose to seal it rather than risk opening it.
• Inside the Divine Tomb, Zhou Qi searched for an exit as indiscriminate attacks struck the graveyard and an amnesiac young man emerged from a grave.
• The young man told Zhou Qi that he had no sword in his hand, prompting Zhou Qi’s sword case to rattle and a greatsword to fly into his grip.

A nameless young man who had crawled from a grave killed Zhou Qi with overwhelming physical strength, while Luo Tianyi led Bu Fang and Hao Zhuangshi to confront the Moon Embracing Sect. Luo Tianyi exposed the sect’s formation and demanded Shi Hao, who chose to face the Golden Immortal while his allies fought the two True Immortals.

• Luo Tianyi singled out Shi Hao for his second Supreme Bone and threatened to attack the sect if no one came forward.
• Shi Hao volunteered to stall Luo Tianyi while the others fought Bu Fang and Hao Zhuangshi, and Yaya firmly told them to let him go.

Shi Hao and the Moon Embracing Sect fought Luo Tianyi and his two True Immortal allies, with Shi Hao assigned to hold off the Golden Immortal while the others targeted the True Immortals. As Luo Tianyi unleashed increasingly powerful attacks, Shi Hao repeatedly sacrificed his Cave Heaven Divine Ring and forced his Second Supreme Technique to protect his companions, leaving the battle at a desperate breaking point.

• Yaya and Fan Jianqiang agreed that Shi Hao would hold off Luo Tianyi while the others tried to kill the two True Immortals, and Funingna blessed the group before the battle began.
• Shi Hao met Luo Tianyi's opening strike with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the Heavenly Tribulation Light, while the others attacked Bu Fang and Hao Zhuangshi.
• Shi Hao used the Kun Peng Method, Willow Deity Method, God Striking Stone, and Broken Sword against Luo Tianyi, who grew wary of the techniques and tried to capture him.
• Yaya and the others pressed Hao Zhuangshi, while Luo Tianyi intervened to save him; Shi Hao then took a pill and challenged Luo Tianyi at full strength.
• Luo Tianyi repeatedly injured Shi Hao, but Shi Hao restored himself with the Second Supreme Technique and blocked attacks aimed at his companions, even as he sacrificed his Cave Heaven Divine Ring.
• Luo Tianyi unleashed the Third and Fourth Forms of the Jietian Art, and Shi Hao forcibly activated his Second Supreme Technique again despite its severe backlash.

Lin Fan returned to the Moon Embracing Sect, defeated and killed Luo Tianyi, and protected his disciples from the Immortal Realm’s retaliation with the Willow Deity’s intervention. The Willow Deity’s appearance shook the Three Thousand Continents, Shi Hao awakened, and the chapter ended as Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered over Lin Fan.

• Shi Hao shattered his Supreme Bone to unleash his Second Supreme Technique, but Luo Tianyi overwhelmed him and killed Hao Zhuangshi while Yaya and the others fought desperately to protect Shi Hao.
• Long Aojiao, Xiao Ling'er, Dianna, the Chaos Heavenly Pig, and Old Turtle each tried to stop Luo Tianyi, but he badly injured them and trapped Xiao Ling'er with his Ten Directions Sealing Technique.
• Lin Fan returned, rescued Shi Hao, freed Xiao Ling'er, and used his techniques to isolate Qin Yu and Bu Fang before confronting Luo Tianyi.
• Lin Fan fought Luo Tianyi with black-hole attacks and sword techniques, defeated him, and killed him, while Gu Xinglian emerged after killing Bu Fang.
• The Immortal Hall opened a passage and attacked the Immortal Martial Continent, but the Willow Deity appeared, blocked the assault, and warned the Immortal Realm against using the strong to bully the weak.
• A willow leaf healed Shi Hao, Long Aojiao was struck by tribulation lightning, and dark Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered over Lin Fan.

Lin Fan passed the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, returned the World Heart to the Immortal Martial Continent, and reunited with his disciples after the Seven Immortals’ defeat. As the Nine Great Holy Lands prepared to court Moon Embracing Sect, Lin Fan began considering how the whole sect could ascend together.

• Lin Fan passed his tribulation and became an Earth Immortal, then learned from Xiao Ling'er how the sect had survived the crisis and arranged for the others to return.
• Lin Fan placed the cracked World Heart into the ground, where the Heavenly Dao began assimilating it and would gradually strengthen and expand the continent.
• Lin Fan reunited with Ji Chutong and spoke with Shi Hao, who chose to destroy his recovering Supreme Bone and begin cultivating toward an eleventh Cave Heaven.
• The Nine Great Holy Lands discussed elevating Moon Embracing Sect above the other powers and planned lavish gifts, while the sect recovered and Li Chungang broke through.

• The Nine Great Holy Lands sent visiting cards announcing that their Holy Lords and Holy Mothers would personally visit Moon Embracing Sect, and Lin Fan decided to ask them about whole-sect ascension.

The Spirit Sword Sect, Five Elements Gate, and Taihe Palace asked to join the Moon Embracing Sect as new lineages, and Lin Fan accepted them while ordering Taihe Palace to end its flesh trade. The Nine Great Holy Lands offered gifts and courted Lin Fan, while Gu Xinglian beat the Nine Dragon Holy Lord; the chapter ended with Desolate Heaven Sword Venerable asking Chen An whether he would return to the Great Desolate Sword Palace.

• Rao Zhirou asked to lead the Spirit Sword Sect into the Moon Embracing Sect as its Sword Cultivator lineage, and Zhou Kai and Qian Yinyang followed with requests for the Five Elements Gate and Taihe Palace to join.
• Lin Fan accepted the three sects as new lineages, took half of their offered treasures, and ordered Taihe Palace to stop its dual-cultivation and flesh-trade business.
• The Nine Great Holy Lords presented gifts to Lin Fan, and the Nine Dragon Holy Lord offered him nine cat-eared Personal Disciples, whose vows and True Spirit fragments persuaded Lin Fan to accept them.
