• All four incarnations of the Spirits of Heaven—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—appear and form the flawless Four Spirits Array.
• Li Changqing learns that he does not need to defeat the four spirits directly; instead, he must escape the formation to pass the final trial.
• His strongest sword attack fails completely, confirming that brute force cannot break the array.
• Realizing the trial concerns the structure and operation of heaven and earth, Li Changqing uses his pre-existing Inner Scenery World to recreate the Four Spirits’ world pillars.
• By studying the Azure Dragon and White Tiger’s principles of vitality, destruction, balance, and extremity, he derives the complementary powers of the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise:
  • Black Tortoise governs death, spiritual dissolution, and cyclical return.
  • Vermilion Bird governs nirvana, rebirth, and the restoration of life.
• Li Changqing repeatedly creates divine-power disks and feeds them into the formation. Each disk causes the array to resonate and releases pure Four Spirits divine power, which he collects.
