Han Yuan climbed the Immortal Ascension Stairway to the 150th step, where he met its Artifact Spirit, Xian Lin, and proposed a wager for Xian Lin to acknowledge him as master. Xian Lin set the condition at reaching the 300th step, leaving Han Yuan ready to continue the challenge.

• Lin Xing told his companions that Han Yuan had undergone a Void Comprehension Heavenly Tribulation and decided to yield him the captain's position.

After Han Yuan reached the 300th step, Xian Lin set him against an early Mahayana Stage opponent, and the 108-sided Random Dice appeared as the challenge began.

After Han Yuan set a new record on the Immortal Ascension Stairway, Sect Master He Yu awarded him a Half-Immortal Artifact and encouraged Lin Xing’s team to compete for the reward for clearing Secret Realm No. 30. Han Yuan chose a treasure that enhanced Law comprehension, exchanged other treasures for a concealment technique, and realized its fixed-location drawback would not hinder his portable secret realm.

After the Immortal Ascension Stairway vanished, He Yu’s investigation linked its theft to the missing Han Yuan, who had also been exposed as an outsider to the Heavenly God Clan. The sect learned that Han Yuan had fled after arranging to lease hundreds of treasures, leaving Lin Xing, Yu Muqiu, and Chang Ye facing the consequences of their connection to him.
