• Chu Yinge concealed the group's auras with the Dream Weaver Net while Feng Hou guided them through the forest with his Eight Winds Maze.
• The group discovered the demonized White Tiger, whose golden-feather attack cracked Nuwa Saint Zixuan's shield and whose roar summoned the forest's demon beasts.

• Thunderbolt led the group through several water-element checkpoints, defeating the monsters along the way, until they reached the enormous lake at the twenty-fifth checkpoint.

Xiao Yun and his companions crossed the demonized Lake of Life to reach Lake Heart Island, fighting off waves of abyssal monsters along the way. They arrived as tens of thousands of scarlet eyes surfaced around the island, leaving them protected for the moment by Gonggong’s ice wall.

• Thunderbolt warned Xiao Yun’s group that a force field above the lake would pull fliers into the water and identified Lake Heart Island as the location of the stage’s core.

• The Spirit Spring Fairy learned the Abyss Faction had not yet been defeated, then thanked Xiao Yun and the War Spirits for saving her and the Crystal Xuan Turtle.
• At Empress Nuwa's suggestion, the Crystal Xuan Turtle asked the Spirit Spring Fairy for an Origin Water Crystal, and Saint Zixuan and the turtle warned Xiao Yun not to enter the pool's freezing water.
• Xiao Yun sent Yang Jian, Wind Empress, and Zixia to help Gonggong and Xi Zhaoyue fight the demonized monsters at the lake's edge.

• Xiao Yun sat down to refine the Origin Water Crystal and his other treasure materials, but the Crystal Xuan Turtle asked whether he planned to advance there.

Xiao Yun learned that reaching the Earth Immortal realm required a dangerous tribulation and agreed to head for Thunderclap Valley, where he could also destroy the Abyssal Demonic Leeches. After the Spirit Spring Fairy cleared the lake of Demonic Monster Fish, the Crystal Xuan Turtle carried Xiao Yun and the War Spirits underwater toward the thirtieth checkpoint.

• The Crystal Xuan Turtle warned Xiao Yun that an Earth Immortal breakthrough required Five Elements Treasure Materials and a deadly lightning tribulation, and recommended Thunderclap Valley.

• The Crystal Xuan Turtle transformed into a giant turtle and took Xiao Yun, Saint Zixuan, and the other War Spirits through the lake toward Thunderclap Valley.
• The Crystal Xuan Turtle entered the Undercurrent Waterway, where the raging current carried them forward at great speed.

Xiao Yun began arranging the Five Elements Treasure Materials on Thunderclap Valley’s Tribulation Platform while his companions defended him from waves of monsters. As the Abyssal Demonic Leech awakened and the tribulation clouds gathered overhead, Xiao Yun had absorbed three of the five materials, with two remaining.

• The Crystal Xuan Turtle carried Xiao Yun and the War Spirits through an ancient underwater route into Thunderclap Valley, where Yang Jian explained how the valley’s lightning could temper Xiao Yun during his tribulation.
• The Crystal Xuan Turtle brought the group to the Tribulation Platform, where Xiao Yun began merging the Flame of Life into his heart with Saint Zixuan’s guidance.
