The Three-Eyed Toad Saint and He Feihong of the Xuanhe Sect came to Tianxing City to challenge Wei Fan, while Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen confronted them. Wei Fan appeared and accepted He Feihong’s supposed same-level fight, and He Feihong entered the Void World to begin it.

• The Three-Eyed Toad Saint and He Feihong arrived outside Tianxing City and demanded that Wei Fan come out to fight.
• Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen refused to let the visitors threaten Wei Fan, but He Feihong framed the challenge as a personal fight between them.

• Gu Qingshan agreed that Wei Fan and He Feihong could fight without interference after seeing Wei Fan’s confidence.
• He Feihong tore open space and entered the Void World to fight Wei Fan.

Wei Fan fought He Feihong, a Xuanhe Sect disciple with the Demon Emperor Bloodline, in the Void World and revealed that his Body Sanctification made him powerful enough to match a foe nearing the Dharma Form Realm. After He Feihong unleashed a devastating sword technique, Wei Fan prepared to answer with a blade strike of his own.

• Wei Fan entered the Void World with Gu Qingshan, Zhou Shen, and the Three-Eyed Toad Saint to face He Feihong.

• He Feihong attacked again with a sword technique that transformed his arm into a snow-white wing of sharp feathers and drew power from the Great Dao.
• Wei Fan raised his own arm and summoned the Four Symbols Divine Beast Dao as he prepared to counter He Feihong’s sword strike.

• Wei Fan wounded He Feihong in their clash, forcing them out of the Void World and into the real world before driving He Feihong back into the void.

• He Feihong unleashed the God Slaying Slash, and Wei Fan blocked it with the Mountain River Seal, leaving He Feihong’s Primordial Spirit severely damaged.
• Wei Fan seized the opening and slashed at He Feihong while the Three-Eyed Toad Saint shouted a warning and struck at Wei Fan.

Wei Fan killed He Feihong after overcoming his Primordial Spirit attack, while Gu Qingshan drove Three-Eyed Toad Saint away. Gu Qingshan then revealed that Imperial Dao Sects could summon an Imperial Weapon’s power from afar, warning Wei Fan to strike their Saint-realm experts before they could use it.

• Gu Qingshan intercepted Three-Eyed Toad Saint as Wei Fan wounded He Feihong, whose Primordial Spirit backlash left him unable to fight effectively.

• Wei Fan returned with Zhou Shen and Gu Qingshan to the Demon Hunter main hall, where they discussed the strength of Imperial Dao Sects.
• Gu Qingshan explained that Imperial Weapons had limited lifespans and were rarely activated because doing so consumed their remaining power.
• Gu Qingshan warned Wei Fan that Imperial Dao Sects could summon an Imperial Weapon’s power without awakening the weapon itself, and advised him to kill their Saint-realm experts before they could use the technique.

Zhou Shen and Gu Qingshan explained that Wei Fan had enough merit to receive an imperial-level martial art but would need to become a Territory Envoy. Wei Fan agreed to travel to the Holy City, where he would join the organization’s wider campaign against demons and receive the technique, but Zhou Shen raised one more matter before he left.

• Wei Fan asked Zhou Shen to check whether his merit was sufficient to exchange for an imperial-level martial art, and Zhou Shen confirmed it was.
• Zhou Shen and Gu Qingshan explained that Wei Fan had to become a Territory Envoy to receive a Martial Emperor cultivation technique and described the role’s duties and freedoms.
• Gu Qingshan urged Wei Fan to go to the Holy City, where his talent could develop and demons would be less able to attack him with imperial weapons.
• Wei Fan agreed to become a Territory Envoy, and Zhou Shen gave him a sealed letter for Headquarters and said Li Jianchen would take him to the Holy City soon.
• As Wei Fan prepared to leave, Zhou Shen stopped him to discuss one more matter.

Wei Fan learned that someone in Jiangzhou had information about the Golden Bell Shield’s follow-up method and agreed to meet him on the way to the Sacred City. After handing Zhou Shen evidence from the Black Nether stronghold, Wei Fan received advice about protecting his future cultivation path, and Gu Qingshan raised the possibility of a body-tempering art for him.

• Zhou Shen told Wei Fan that the person with news about the Golden Bell Shield wanted to meet him in Jiangzhou, and Wei Fan agreed to go.
• Wei Fan gave Zhou Shen a ledger and communication jade token seized from Black Nether’s Beiding Continent stronghold, which he said he had destroyed.

• Gu Qingshan advised Wei Fan to focus on his future Dao and pointed out that he lacked body-tempering martial skills despite achieving Body Sanctification.
• When Wei Fan asked for a body-tempering art, Zhou Shen suggested the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Art.

Gu Qingshan persuaded Wei Fan to learn the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Art, and Wei Fan cultivated its Heavenly Dragon Chant technique. After leaving Tianxing City with Li Jianchen, Wei Fan sensed a Black Nether assassin watching them.

• Gu Qingshan explained that the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Art offered Wei Fan a powerful body-tempering combat technique, despite requiring demon dragons and demon elephants to reach its full potential.
• Wei Fan obtained the Nine Dragons Nine Elephants Art from the Beiding Continent Demon Hunter Organization and used cultivation power to bring Heavenly Dragon Chant to major completion.
• Wei Fan discovered that Heavenly Dragon Chant required dragon soul and dragon blood for perfect completion, but its runes had strengthened his throat enough to threaten Saint-realm experts.
• Li Jianchen arrived at Wei Fan's inn, and the two left Tianxing City together.
• Wei Fan sensed a watcher from Black Nether and used his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to spot a hidden figure several hundred zhang ahead.

Wei Fan confirmed that Lu Family guards were keeping people captive for cultivation and attacked the family’s gate, leaving the confrontation underway.

• Jiang Yujie identified himself as a descendant of the Jiang Family and explained that his sister had disappeared near the Lu Family, which he suspected of raising captured women as cultivation furnaces.
• Jiang Yujie asked Wei Fan and Li Jianchen to save his sister before she turned eighteen, and Wei Fan agreed to investigate in exchange for the Golden Bell Shield’s later contents.
• Wei Fan, Li Jianchen, and Jiang Yujie traveled to the Lu Family’s main residence outside Jiangzhou City, where the great formation blocked the sister’s life tablet from sensing her.
• Wei Fan’s panel identified Lu Family guards as people who kept captives for cultivation, so he attacked a gate attendant and sent him crashing into a pavilion.

As Martial Saints from Jiangzhou approached, Wei Fan charged Lu Chenfeng while Li Jianchen headed for the formation to rescue the captive people.

• Li Jianchen headed for the Lu Family formation to save the captives as Wei Fan charged Lu Chenfeng.

• A Martial Saint from Jiangzhou City called for Wei Fan to spare Lu Chenfeng, but Wei Fan ignored him and killed Lu Chenfeng with another dragon roar.

• Ding Xuhuai arrived at the ruined Lu Family grounds and demanded to know why Wei Fan and Li Jianchen had killed Lu Chenfeng.

Li Jianchen warned him that Feng Hua faced danger from powerful factions and that the Xuanyuan Family was in serious trouble, leaving Wei Fan determined to protect his friend as they prepared to leave Jiangzhou.

• Li Jianchen and Jiang Yujie explained that the Supreme Phoenix Body could attract even Martial Sovereigns, and Jiang Yujie handed Wei Fan his family's Golden Bell Shield manual.

• At the Jiangzhou Teleportation Domain Gate, Li Jianchen warned Wei Fan that Feng Hua could attract powerful pursuers and that the Xuanyuan Family was facing a grave crisis.
• Wei Fan insisted that he would kill anyone who forced Feng Hua to do something against her will, then asked Li Jianchen what had happened to the Xuanyuan Family.

Wei Fan learned that the Xuanyuan Family was pressuring Feng Hua to marry Zhou Chengzhu because the Human Emperor Sword was nearing death, while Xuanyuan Peak’s absence weakened the protection against forcing her. After traveling with Li Jianchen to Azure Continent, Great Emperor Qing’s hometown, Wei Fan arrived at the final stop before the Holy City and prepared to wait for the next teleportation.

• Li Jianchen told Wei Fan that the Human Emperor Sword was nearing death and that the Zhou Family had offered to prolong its life in exchange for Feng Hua’s marriage to Zhou Chengzhu.

• Li Jianchen led Wei Fan away from the teleportation plaza to pay for the journey to the Holy City, saying they might wait several days before departing.

Wei Fan learned about the Five Emperors and the legendary Hunyuan Skill as he traveled with Li Jianchen toward a Martial Emperor force. After seeing its vast floating Divine City, he understood how difficult it would be to help Feng Hua.

• Wei Fan followed Li Jianchen past the Temple of the Five Emperors and learned that the Five Emperors had discussed the Dao there and created the Five Emperors Fist.
• Li Jianchen explained why Great Emperor Hunyuan and his Hunyuan Skill were considered the strongest, including the skill’s ability to combine multiple cultivation methods and martial arts.
• Wei Fan considered how his panel could let him master Hunyuan Skill’s potential and heard Li Jianchen recount the legends of Great Emperors Qing, Hei, Bai, and Jin.
• Li Jianchen showed Wei Fan a vast Divine City floating above the firmament and warned him how difficult it would be to help Feng Hua.

Wei Fan and Li Jianchen reached Qingzhou City, where Wei Fan studied a lost passage connected to the Golden Bell Shield and used the Panel to cultivate Bell Induction. After spending one hundred thousand years of cultivation power with no result, Bell Induction finally became initiated.

• At Qingmu City, a Mu Family elder recognized Wei Fan and wondered whether he was connected to Xuanyuan Peak’s past visit to the Wasteland.
• Wei Fan and Li Jianchen entered Qingzhou City and Li Jianchen explained its rules and showed Wei Fan around.
• At an inn, Wei Fan examined Jiang Yujie’s Golden Bell Shield manual and used the Panel to identify its strange incantation as Bell Induction.
