After months of failed attempts to enter the Pure Yang Sect, four alliances formed from the people of the four connected worlds and prepared to break its mountain-protecting array. Lin Changqing predicted that the alliances would turn on one another over the sect’s inheritance, but their combined attack on a peak was repelled by a pillar of light.

After the four alliances lost most of their army breaking through the Pure Yang Sect’s defenses, they fought one another over the inheritance atop Pure Yang Peak. Lin Changqing seized the chance to reach the palace first, leaving Xing Shan and the others to hold off Liyang Heaven’s experts as he vanished with the Square Inch Pagoda.

Lin Changqing helped Xing Shan and the others cross the palace’s killing array, allowing them to enter while the forces outside failed to stop them. Inside, the group found only a white jade stone pillar, which Lin Changqing claimed was all the hall contained, though Lu Yiren suspected it was unusual.

• Prince Zhao urged the Liyang Dynasty forces to distrust Xing Shan and his companions, but a Liyang divine general ordered them to test the palace doors instead.

• Xing Shan trusted Lin Changqing, while Lu Yiren said she believed him but found the stone pillar unusual.

Lin Changqing revealed that the White Jade Stone Pillar contained a sealed space holding the Method of Becoming a Saint and the Pure Yang Sect's inheritance, then led the others in breaking its seal with an array. As the group entered, Black Robe secretly planted an ink-black jade disc that became a Black Lotus and spread a web of black threads through the pillar and hall.

• Lu Yiren noticed something unusual about the White Jade Stone Pillar, and Lin Changqing confirmed it held a hidden space containing the Method of Becoming a Saint and the Pure Yang Sect's inheritance.

Lin Changqing and four rivals entered the Pure Yang Sect’s legacy space, where they found an immovable stele bearing the Method of Becoming a Saint and a vast treasury of treasures. Lin Changqing claimed most of the other inheritance, and the chapter ended with Xing Shan fighting Green Robe Ancestor while Lin Changqing warned Lu Yiren and Black Robe not to attack.

• Lin Changqing discovered that the stars in the White Jade Stone Pillar space contained the Pure Yang Sect’s treasures and cultivation legacies, including a stele inscribed with the Method of Becoming a Saint.
• Green Robe Ancestor rushed to the stele, but neither he nor Lin Changqing could move or store it; Xing Shan, Lu Yiren, and Black Robe also failed to take it.

Black Robe used his seventh-grade Black Lotus to seize the Ancient Stele containing the Method of Becoming a Saint, while Lin Changqing and the others failed to break through his defenses. After Black Robe drew the stele into the lotus and prepared to leave, Lin Changqing calmly threatened to take both the stele and Black Robe's life.

• Black Robe ambushed Lu Yiren and used his seventh-grade Black Lotus to cover the Ancient Stele.
• Black Robe revealed that the stele's contents could not be remembered or copied, leaving direct access to it as the only way to comprehend the Method of Becoming a Saint.
• Lu Yiren, Xing Shan, and the Green Robe Ancestor attacked Black Robe, but his defenses held because the Black Lotus was connected to the White Jade Stone Pillar and the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven.
• Black Robe drew the Ancient Stele completely into the seventh-grade Black Lotus and announced that he would leave.
• Lin Changqing told Black Robe to leave the Ancient Stele behind and threatened to take his life.

Lin Changqing and the others left the palace as the four major alliances broke its outer formation, but Green Robe Ancestor betrayed him and revealed that Lin Changqing held the Method of Becoming a Saint. Lin Changqing struck back, then sealed the surrounding space and teleported away with Xing Shan, leaving Green Robe Ancestor and the alliance forces behind.

• The experts failed to stop Lin Changqing’s purple lightning, so Prince Zhao detonated a spirit treasure and others destroyed their Dao artifacts to break open the trapped space and flee.
• Lin Changqing turned the lightning into Blade Qi and killed half the fleeing experts, while Prince Zhao escaped with a spirit treasure despite grievous injuries.

• Lin Changqing reviewed his gains from the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven: he had visualized nine Grotto-Heavens and manifested seven hundred and twenty Chains of Law, bringing him near a Middle Thousand World and making him invincible among Great Luo cultivators.

Lin Changqing returned to Green Mountain Village and told its leaders he intended to make it a first-rate power within three years. The chapter ended with Lin Yuntang questioning whether the village had the talent and strength to reach that goal.

• Lin Changqing returned to Green Mountain Village, found most villagers hiding in a valley in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and noticed people watching the village for Prince Zhao's favor.

• Lin Changqing told the village leaders he planned to build Green Mountain Village into a first-rate power within three years.

Lin Changqing revealed the Pure Yang Limitless Tower and explained how its time-altering powers could help Green Mountain Village become a First-rate Power within three years. After the tower accelerated time throughout the valley, the village began carrying out a plan to cultivate talent and expand its population.

• Lin Yuntang and the villagers doubted that Green Mountain Village could become a First-rate Power within three years because their current generation lacked the potential and time to grow.
• Lin Changqing showed everyone the Pure Yang Limitless Tower, explained that it could accelerate time inside the valley and tower, and announced that it was the foundation of his plan.
• Lin Changqing laid out his plan during a meeting that lasted until late at night, assigning the villagers roles in developing Green Mountain Village.
• Lin Changqing placed the tower in the valley and powered it with Immortal Spiritual Qi, accelerating time in the valley to thirty times and time inside the tower to 365 times the outside rate.

• Lin Changqing set a goal of increasing Green Mountain Village's population to 300,000 within thirty years of time inside the valley.

Lin Changqing settled into secluded cultivation in the Pure Yang Limitless Tower to comprehend the Method of Becoming a Saint, while Green Robe Ancestor survived the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and set out to claim the method. As the Demon Suppression Division pressured Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao ordered his agents to track Lin Changqing, Xing Shan, Green Robe Ancestor, and Lu Yiren.

• Lin Changqing entered the Pure Yang Limitless Tower and began studying the ancient stele that recorded the Method of Becoming a Saint.

Lin Changqing completed his unique Method of Becoming a Saint and perfected eight hundred laws, advancing his Inner World into a Middle Thousand World.

When Xing Shan set out to learn the method of becoming a Saint, Prince Zhao and other powers began tracking him in hopes of finding Lin Changqing.

• Lin Changqing understood that the Xuanhuang World's incomplete Heavenly Dao blocked the final step of his Hun Yuan martial path, and resolved to mend it.
