• Chen Mo helped repair the spatial cracks and opened a larger entrance through the Spatial Storm than the other factions could manage.

• Luo Li consulted Mandala’s map and told Nine Nether they would go first to the Divine Ability Pavilion to seek its divine abilities and the Immortal Golden Body cultivation formula.

They reached the palace’s deeper ruins but were stopped by a deadly master-level spiritual array, which Qing Ling said they would have to find a way around.

• Qing Ling of the Futur Ancient Clan identified the threads as a master-level spiritual array and said they needed to search for an exit.

• Qing Ling suggested searching the spirit array's edge for a passage, and Luo Li, Nine Nether, and the others began looking while newcomers crashed into the barrier.

• Chen Mo recalled that Lu Heng would revive a Heavenly Demon Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, and Mandala reacted with alarm.

Experts gathered before the Dragon Ascent Gate to test their worthiness for the Ancient Heavenly Palace. Su Qingyin earned an Azure Eagle Token and entered, while Zhu Yan later received a White Flood Dragon Token and challenged Luo Li, Hei Xi, and Mo Kete with a provocative glance.

• Qing Ling told Luo Li that Su Qingyin was a renowned beauty, a member of Lingyan Pavilion, and sixteenth on the Hundred Beauties Ranking, while Luo Li ranked first.

• Hei Xi and Mo Kete entered the Dragon Ascent Gate and emerged with Golden Dragon Tokens, leaving Zhu Yan’s White Flood Dragon Token looking inferior.
• Luo Li entered the Dragon Ascent Gate and, after a much longer assessment, received a Golden Dragon Token with glowing dragon eyes that surpassed Hei Xi and Mo Kete’s.

• Luo Li took her Golden Dragon Token and passed through the spiritual array into the vast inner world of the Ancient Heavenly Palace.

Luo Li led Nine Nether, Qing Ling, and two Qing Lineage clansmen through the Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins, using Mandala’s map to head for the Heavenly Pool. The group set out hoping its baptism would help Luo Li reach the Half-step Lower Earthly Sovereign realm.

• Luo Li and the others entered the vast Ancient Heavenly Palace ruins and marveled at its palaces, peaks, and floating islands.

• Qing Ling allowed her clansmen to seek treasures on their own, leaving five people in Luo Li’s group.
• Luo Li consulted Mandala’s map and explained that they were in the Nine Prefectures, on the outskirts of the Inner Domain.
• Luo Li led the group toward the Heavenly Pool, whose baptism Qing Ling said could remake the body, refine spiritual energy, and strengthen a Sovereign Dharma Body.

After Qing Yanjing’s presence in Lingyan Pavilion was exposed, Chen Mo returned to Lingyan City and discussed the looming response from the Futur Ancient Clan and Mo Ke Ancient Clan with his wives.

The Mo Ke Ancient Clan decided to join the Futur Ancient Clan’s campaign against Lingyan Pavilion and mobilize troops to capture Chen Mo. Mo Ke Zhi planned to enlist the Black Heaven Ancient Clan as well, then led powerful clan members to prepare for the invasion of the Tianluo Continent.

• The Mo Ke Ancient Clan learned that Futur Xuan planned to use the Futur Ancient Clan’s Ancestor Pagoda to capture Chen Mo.
• Mo Ke Zhi told the gathered clan members that Chen Mo’s actions against the Futur Ancient Clan gave them a chance to attack Lingyan Pavilion and seize his resources.
• Mo Ke Zhi announced that he would ask the Black Heaven Ancient Clan to join the campaign because it owed the Mo Ke Ancient Clan a favor.
• Mo Ke Zhi summoned Mo Ke Long, Mo Ke Yan, Mo Ke Nan, and other powerful members to lead the army against Lingyan Pavilion.

Chen Mo arrived at the confrontation with the Divine Beast White Tiger and the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, bringing Lingyan Pavilion's Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns close to parity with its opponents. He refused Futur Xuan's demand to return with him, declared that he would keep Qing Yanjing and Qing Xuan, and faced Futur Xuan as he summoned a giant tower.

• The Divine Beast White Tiger appeared before Lingyan Pavilion's army with Chen Mo, Ancestor Taiming, and Chen Yuexi standing on its head, revealing another powerful ally for Chen Mo.
• Futur Xuan recognized the Divine Beast White Tiger and realized that Lingyan Pavilion now had six Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, making an attack costly for both sides.
