Lin Changqing used the King-grade Origin Vein to reach Origin Saint peak, with his Primordial Spiritual Light expanding to nine feet nine inches, then ambushed the Savage Ancient Beasts pursuing humans. He lured their scattered squad into pursuit and turned to attack its Half-step Divine Saint captain, but vanished behind another beast as their battle began.

After advancing to the Half-step Ancestor Saint realm, Lin Changqing sought more King-grade Origin Veins in the Secret Realm world. He managed to collect a massive vein only after splitting it and losing much of its origin, then considered seeking Saint-grade Origin Veins to advance his cultivation.

• Lin Changqing reached the Half-step Ancestor Saint realm and set out to collect more King-grade Origin Veins.
• As humans and Savage Ancient Beasts fought across the Secret Realm world, Lin Changqing avoided the battlefields and entered a grotto-heaven containing an unusually large Origin Vein.

• Lin Changqing realized the collected energy would not be enough to raise his realm and considered cultivating with Saint-grade Origin Veins.

• A disciple told Huangpu Feihong that Lin Changqing had returned, and Huangpu Feihong chose to spread the news and watch Lin Changqing’s other enemies react.

At Thousand Mountain Academy, Song Qingyun tried to rally its strongest disciples behind his bid for a top-hundred ranking, but they demanded better terms.

A month later, Lin Changqing completed a breakthrough in the Scripture Pavilion, creating the Book of Primordial Chaos and his Primordial Martial Dao.

• Lin Changqing refused to serve Song Qingshu and activated his courtyard’s protective Grand Array.

Luo Hua attacked Lin Changqing’s courtyard, and Lin Changqing killed him with a single strike that also broke through the Profound Origin Ice Pool’s domain. Lin Changqing claimed the treasure as Thousand Mountain Academy erupted over the killing and debated whether the rules justified it.

• Martial artists across Thousand Mountain Academy reacted in shock, arguing over Lin Changqing’s strength and whether Luo Hua’s attack on the courtyard made the killing justified.

Lin Changqing refused Song Qingyun’s attempt to take him to the Law Enforcement Hall after defending his killing of Luo Hua as lawful. Song Qingyun left to report him, while Huangpu Feihong and Zhu Qiyu hoped their growing hostility would erupt during the Seed Trial.

• Song Qingyun confronted Lin Changqing outside his courtyard and accused him of murdering Luo Hua, demanding that he go to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Lin Changqing withdrew from the Mysterious Sky Divine Turtle’s fight against the God and Demon race experts, intending to let them weaken each other. As the Ancient Life Star exploded and the battle threatened to draw more enemies, he trapped all three combatants in the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Great Array and strengthened it with the Square Inch Pagoda.

• The Mysterious Sky Divine Turtle awakened and drove Lin Changqing and the Demon race expert back, while the God race expert proposed joining forces against it.
