• Lin Fan entered seclusion to strengthen himself, while the Jietian Sect learned that Lin Fan had founded the Moon Embracing Sect in the Western Ox Continent and asked who would investigate.

The Jietian Sect tried to persuade the Immortal Hall to deal with the Moon Embracing Sect, while a mysterious black qi influenced the Silver Armored General into ordering an attack on the sect’s lower-realm prodigies. Lin Fan broke through to the Eleventh Realm, raised Barrett to a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, and began planning improvements with Fan Jianqiang.

• The Jietian Sect Leader avoided confronting Willow Deity and sent Protector Zhong Fabai to urge the Immortal Hall to act against the Moon Embracing Sect.

• Lin Fan broke through to the Eleventh Realm and used his sect’s wealth to buy Immortal Gold for Barrett, which grew into a mid-grade Immortal Artifact.
• Lin Fan discussed Barrett’s range and concealment with Fan Jianqiang, who proposed a concealment formation and bullets carrying poison, microorganisms, talismans, or other payloads.

Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang prepared specialized bullets and began upgrading the Eightfold Magnification Technique, while Long Aojiao fought an Immortal Hall cultivator and escaped after wounding him.

• Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, and Little Black fled a Thirteenth Realm pursuer, then split up, but a twin brother intercepted Xu Fenglai and attacked him.
• Xu Fenglai unleashed Sword Twelve, pierced his opponent's arm, and exhausted himself as the Immortal Hall cultivator prepared to kill him.

Lin Fan used borrowed Dao fruits, a sea of blood, and upgraded Barrett shots to rescue his disciples from Immortal Hall attackers across the Three Thousand Continents.

With Duan Cangqiong’s help, the Immortal Hall agreed not to pursue the Moon Embracing Sect for now, leaving Lin Fan to consider the Jietian Sect and its influence.

• Lin Fan used Qin Yu’s singularity Dao fruit and Xiao Ling’er’s nine strange flames to kill three Thirteenth Realm Immortal Hall cultivators, while Shi Hao and Long Aojiao fought their own attackers with Lin Fan’s support.
• Shi Hao asked Lin Fan about sinful blood, then departed; Lin Fan realized the Immortal Hall had targeted him and wondered why Chen Bei and Sun Wuxia had been spared.
• Duan Cangqiong investigated the attacks and learned that the Silver Armored General had sent the hit list, which had come from Zhong Fabai of the Jietian Sect.

• Duan Cangqiong explained the Jietian Sect’s history and its Jietian Art, describing the sect as a declining power that still ranked near the first-rate forces.

Lin Fan planned to strike back at the Jietian Sect through a Heavenly Talent Gathering rather than involve the Willow Deity, and sent Wang Teng and He Anxia with Fan Jianqiang to compete. He then sought Immortal Pill formulas to repay Duan Cangqiong with a life-extending pill, but obtaining its rare ingredients proved difficult.

• Lin Fan rejected asking the Willow Deity to destroy the Jietian Sect, deciding the Moon Embracing Sect's disciples needed to gain experience and that he would use schemes and open contests to retaliate.
• Lin Fan chose the Heavenly Talent Gathering in Gourd Continent as an opportunity to target Jietian Sect disciples, then sent Wang Teng and He Anxia with Fan Jianqiang to attend.
• Lin Fan decided to refine an Immortal Pill for Duan Cangqiong and asked the Heavenly Secrets Tower for formulas and leads on ingredients.
• Lin Fan chose the Life-Seizing Pill, which could extend a person's life by 9,999 years, but learned it required three rare Immortal Medicines.
• Fifth Zhuge found that the Gathering's champion would receive half a Life-Returning Grass, while the other required medicines were held by powerful forces, leaving Lin Fan unsure whether his disciples could secure the available ingredient.

Lin Fan sent Fan Jianqiang to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s Heavenly Talent Gathering while he prepared to refine a Life-Seizing Pill for Duan Cangqiong. Fan Jianqiang disguised He Anxia’s Bio-Master abilities and joined Wang Teng and He Anxia in the gathering, where the first-round free-for-all began.

• Fan Jianqiang ran around pretending to be weak, Wang Teng fought steadily, and He Anxia unleashed a sea of dazzling sand from his gourd.

He Anxia used microorganisms to kill a Twelfth Realm Jietian Sect disciple and then confronted the sect’s Seventh and Ninth Sequences. As the two attacked, the Ninth Sequence launched a concealed attempt to ruin He Anxia’s gourd, but He Anxia threw the gourd toward him.

• He Anxia’s sand sea poisoned and killed numerous cultivators, drawing attention to his strength as a Bio-Master.

• The Ninth Sequence concealed a treasure designed to corrupt magical weapons inside his sword and struck at He Anxia’s gourd.
• He Anxia dodged and threw the gourd, surprising the Ninth Sequence.

He Anxia used the gourd’s sea of sand and its hidden microorganisms to kill the Jietian Sect’s Ninth Sequence, then overcame the Seventh Sequence’s attempt to escape through the Jietian Art. The first round ended with both Jietian Sect prodigies dead and He Anxia’s gourd damaged.

• The Ninth Sequence tried to flee through the gathered fighters, but they attacked him and forced him to face He Anxia’s sea of sand.
• He Anxia’s fine sand slipped through the Ninth Sequence’s defenses and consumed him from within, killing him as the Seventh Sequence’s attacks continued to fail.

• The Fifteenth Realm referee ended the first round as the spectators realized the Seventh Sequence had vanished and He Anxia’s gourd had been damaged.

After the group fought off the ambush, a Fifteenth Realm assassin confronted them, and Heavenly Maiden’s hidden protector faced him as another ally trapped a Fourteenth Realm attacker in the Chaos Yin-Yang Array.
