Su He and Ji Feixue spent half a year in Cloud Dream Marsh, where Ji Feixue helped him condense his fourth Heaven Opening Divine Artifact, the Cosmos Ring, while recovering from the Buddhist power in her body. As the Great Solar Eclipse drew nearer, they prepared to travel to the Undamaged Realm so Su He could arrange his White Tiger Body and planet within the Tian Nu Clan’s forbidden ground.

Su He took Ji Feixue to Return Gazing Mountain and struck the Ascension Drum during the Great Solar Eclipse. After earning three rings and receiving two inheritances, he continued toward his goal of becoming a disciple quickly enough to reach Treasure Distribution Cliff and take the Dao Ancestor Finger Bone.

• Su He refused to let Ji Feixue send him into Return Gazing Mountain again and chose to strike the Ascension Drum to take a master, so she accompanied him.
• At Return Gazing Mountain, Su He asked about the drum's connection to the Three Sound Drum, and Daoist Dong Xu explained that Return Gazing Mountain had refined its fragments.
• Though the Great Solar Eclipse made striking the drum unusually difficult, Su He sensed its connection to immortality and landed the first ring.
• Su He struck the drum twice more, gaining two inheritances and drawing the attention of cultivators and a powerful consciousness within Return Gazing Mountain.
• Su He aimed to reach seven rings so he could become a disciple directly and enter Treasure Distribution Cliff within a day to take the Dao Ancestor Finger Bone.

Su He continued beating the Ascension Drum, revealing his understanding of the Human Dao and yin-yang before using the Tao Te Ching to ring its ninth beat. The drum recognized him as a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, while its artifact spirit Dong Xu barely endured the power of the words it revealed.

• Su He struck the fourth, fifth, and sixth beats with insights into the Human Dao, earning Dong Xu's approval as a contender for Dao Son and delighting Ji Feixue.

• At Grand Ancestor Tai's urging, Su He recited the Tao Te Ching and sent its Dao rhythm into the Ascension Drum.

• Those watching realized Su He had rung Nine Rings and qualified as a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

After striking nine rings of the Ascension Drum, Su He met the Dao Ancestor’s remnant image and became his fourth direct disciple, then entered Return Gazing Mountain as its Fourth Ancestor. The Yellow Springs Heavenly Ladder carried Su He toward Suppressing Nether Mountain, while Grand Ancestor Tai and the Dao Master discussed the Dao Ancestor Hairpin.

• Su He followed Dong Xu’s drumbeat to an island, caught a giant catfish for the Dao Ancestor, and accepted him as Master after recognizing him.
• At Grand Ancestor Tai’s urging, Su He took the Dao Ancestor Hairpin, which flew away to Grand Ancestor Tai and left Su He’s strength restored with his human-form countdown stopped.
• Dong Xu greeted Su He as Fourth Master, and the disciples of Return Gazing Mountain welcomed him as Fourth Ancestor; Su He bestowed Dao rhythm on seventeen disciples.

• Su He took the finger bone and shell, but the Nether King appeared behind him and accused him of deceiving her.

Su He was punished by the Nether King and lost his chance to pray to heaven and earth, which she transferred to Ji Feixue. While confined in the Nether King's underground palace, he tempered himself and reunited fragments of a Gu Hexagram; the chapter ended as Ji Feixue began praying to heaven and earth.

• The Nether King punished Su He with thirty days of confinement, revoked his qualification to pray to heaven and earth, and transferred the opportunity to Ji Feixue.
• Dong Xu told Ji Feixue that Su He wanted her to pray in his place, and she accepted after hearing that he had already experienced the Heaven and Earth Perspective.
• Su He learned that the Nether King had opened the netherworld, then discovered that the cold oil in the underground palace contained fragments of a Gu Hexagram and gathered them with her permission.
• Su He cultivated under the underground palace's suppression, gradually tempering his body and Inner World while collecting a hundred cauldrons of cold oil to restore the Gu Hexagram.
• After ten days, Su He sensed heaven and earth responding to a prayer and appeared atop King Yama Palace, where he saw Ji Feixue ascending through the air.

• The Nether King sent Su He to intercept the great sun’s attack while Ji Feixue prayed, and Su He shielded her with Northern Darkness and Great Abyss.
• Su He discovered that the great sun had marked Ji Feixue, recalled the Dao Ancestor’s demonstration of slapping the sun away, and pressed the attack to draw out the finger bone’s power.
• Su He traced the great sun’s aura and struck it from afar with a Mountain God Seal, after which the Dao Ancestor Finger Bone embedded itself in his hand and replenished his true essence.
• Su He crossed into the sea of stars and slapped the great sun, but he could not destroy it and threatened to strike it again until it removed Ji Feixue’s mark.
• Grand Ancestor Tai arrived, shattered the great sun’s attack, and slapped the sun, plunging the world into darkness.
