Bai Yujun inspected temples across the world, destroyed suspiciously accumulated incense and faith power, then taught Cheng Su deity-summoning talismans. Cheng Su contacted a Chunyang immortal who acknowledged her as an inheritor and passed down a legacy, while Bai Yujun sent her to retrieve an artifact from Barren Stone Beach.

• Bai Yujun examined countless temples, found a vast and suspicious store of incense and faith power, and ground it into primordial energy to replenish heaven and earth.
• Bai Yujun returned to the Dragon Palace and taught Cheng Su how to use incense and draw a Deity Summoning Talisman.

• The female immortal passed scriptures and cultivation experience to Cheng Su and arranged for lower-ranked disciples to help her draw talismans.
• Cheng Su used the connection to complete a Deity Summoning Talisman and thanked Bai Yujun, who instructed her to retrieve what the Tu family had unearthed at Barren Stone Beach.

Cheng Su descended from the Dragon Palace to retrieve a stone from Barren Stone Beach, while growing uneasy about the Palace Master's intentions and the dangers surrounding her journey.

• An elder told Cheng Su that many gifted cultivators were cultivated and then refined into spirit medicine for powerful experts, and she understood why the Palace Master had sent her down the mountain.
• Cheng Su left the village and concealed her trail, but an attacker ambushed her in a valley, so she summoned an immortal’s divided spirit with a Deity Summoning Talisman and fled.
• As more cultivators pursued her, Cheng Su used additional Deity Summoning Talismans to hold them off and raced toward the mountain where the Dragon Palace stood.
• After fleeing through the night, Cheng Su used her last Deity Summoning Talisman and had the enlarged little fox carry her, while her exhausted flight brought her a clearer state of mind.
• Cheng Su and the fox reached the ancient stone archway, where they heard the elder’s voice nearby, while Little Hedgehog examined the Cloud Stone Pillar.

Cheng Su returned to the Dragon Palace with a stone fragment while the old man became trapped in the mountain gate’s secret realm. Bai Yujun ordered Fat Cat to imprison him in a barren realm for three hundred years, then continued repairing the damaged stone stele.

• Bai Yujun fitted Cheng Su’s fragment into the damaged stele and calculated that two more pieces would let her activate it.

• Fat Tiger carried Bai Yujun to Barren Stone Beach, where she wrote and sketched through the night before pulling a Four-legged Cauldron of Black Metal from her sack.

• Tu Yue's people distributed the Medicinal Frost, and the strengthened laborers excavated at three times their usual speed.
• That afternoon, the laborers found a stone stele fragment marked with golden runes.

• Tu Yue chose to keep the Tu Lineage with Bai Yujun and quietly told its members to carry on as usual as seven powerful humans and demons approached.
• One of the intruders attacked the laborers, and Bai Yujun called his cruelty childish.
• Bai Yujun’s Space Formation trapped the seven intruders and cut them off from the outside world; a cultivator identified the peach tree as its core.
• Bai Yujun demanded the seven redeem their lives with their three most precious treasures, while laborers unearthed a larger Stone Tablet Fragment.
• When the intruders pursued Bai Yujun’s cloud-borne double, they found themselves unable to move closer, and Bai Yujun pointed past the nearest fiend toward the gloomy-faced human elder.

• Bai Yujun summoned four snake demon soldiers to stop the seven guests’ followers and imprisoned the intruders in temporary secret realms.
• Bai Yujun had the Tu family wash the newly excavated Stone Tablet Fragment, then carried it back to the peach tree.
• Bai Yujun forced the seven guests to promise all their wealth as ransom before releasing them, and they fled without helping their injured disciples.
• Bai Yujun fitted the fragment into the tablet, joined its Golden Text, and told Tu Yue to end the excavation and pay the workers.
• Bai Yujun warned Tu Yue that she would open the ancient secret realm in half an hour and asked her to settle family affairs before meeting her in the mountains.

Bai Yujun opened the ancient stone tablet as a teleportation gate and led the Tu family into a remote Small World. There, she found relics that let her glimpse a powerful, blurry figure from the past, then warned the others before leaving to explore.

• Bai Yujun restored the stone tablet’s position, set up eight Deity Summoning Talismans, and pushed the blank stone portion open.
• Bai Yujun and Fat Tiger passed through the Golden Text, and Tu Yue and the Tu family followed them into a gloomy world of forests and mountains.
• Bai Yujun used a petrified Demonic Beast as an anchor to trace its past and recovered a two-foot arrowhead from its remains.
• Bai Yujun realized the valley’s formation and stone tablet had formed a teleportation gate, and that the Small World’s creator remained blurry despite the clues she found.
• Bai Yujun warned Tu Yue and the others about lingering demonic qi and remnant souls, then left with Fat Tiger to explore the fog-shrouded world.

Bai Yujun explored the fog-covered Small World, using silver butterflies to scout its dangerous terrain and uncovering the fate of the Gods and Devils who had pursued the Dragon Court. She continued searching for the powerful being that had created the place, confident she could escape or summon help if danger arose.

• Bai Yujun failed to pierce the clouds with True Sight and noticed that the forest had no rivers despite its abundant moisture.
• She transformed insect eggs into silver butterflies and sent them ahead to scout for traps and ambushes.
• Bai Yujun mapped the misty terrain as she and Fat Tiger explored, collecting well-preserved weapons and armor along the way.
• She touched a moss-covered divine skeleton and saw that Gods and Devils had overwhelmed a dragon before a powerful being swept them away as food.
• Bai Yujun sensed no immediate danger, prepared a Deity Summoning Talisman, and continued searching among the divine remains.

Bai Yujun discovered a mountain-sized, hallucinogenic mushroom growing above a corpse-filled valley, captured it in a Crystal Bottle, and had Fat Tiger dig into the exposed pit. Metal clanged underground, and Bai Yujun flew into the hole to investigate.

• Bai Yujun spotted a giant mushroom whose spores created rainbow light and warned Fat Tiger to avoid breathing them in.
• Bai Yujun saw that the valley was filled with corpses and bones, and noticed that her silver butterflies were being drawn toward the mushroom by its hallucinogenic spores.

• Bai Yujun sent Fat Tiger into the pit to dig while she refined a silver butterfly into oversized wings attached to her clothes.
• Fat Tiger struck something underground with a metallic clang, and Bai Yujun flew down the hole to investigate.

Bai Yujun found a living Ancient Creature buried beneath the valley and tried to wake it with a powerful hammer strike and Fat Tiger’s roar. Neither worked, leaving the creature’s identity and strength unknown as Bai considered summoning Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

• Bai Yujun realized that the hard substance beneath the shaft was a living Fierce Beast and stopped Fat Tiger from digging further.
• Bai Yujun decided to wake the sleeping Ancient Creature and struck the ground with the Gavel of Finality, causing the shaft to collapse without stirring it.
• Bai Yujun and Fat Tiger escaped the collapsing earth, and Bai concluded that physical force had failed to awaken the creature.
• Bai Yujun had Fat Tiger roar from the mountaintop to provoke the creature, but the valley showed no reaction.
• Bai Yujun chose to avoid revealing her own power and considered using a Deity Summoning Talisman to call Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Bai Yujun used a formation of talismans to summon a powerful Snake Demon Army heavenly general and strike the Ancient Creature sleeping beneath the valley. The creature awoke and began upheaving the landscape, leaving Bai Yujun and Fat Tiger at a distance as she tried to assess its size and nature.

• Bai Yujun arranged seventy-two Deity Summoning Talismans around a Heavenly General Talisman, and Fat Tiger supplied spiritual energy to activate the formation.
• The talismans forged a thirty-foot-tall, partly illusory female Snake Demon Army heavenly general, who plunged her sheathed saber into the valley.
• The strike blasted a deep pit and raised a mushroom cloud, while its shockwave battered distant mountains and injured a Tu family cultivator.
• Bai Yujun realized the sleeping Ancient Creature might be far larger than the valley, and the ground began trembling as it stirred.
• Miasma and violent winds erupted from openings in the earth as mountains collapsed and the landscape shifted; Bai Yujun teleported away with Fat Tiger twice.
• Bai Yujun estimated the underground creature resembled but was not part of the dragon race, and stayed cautious as she waited to see its true form.

Bai Yujun discovered that the foggy world lay underground and confronted a colossal Six-Winged Strange Snake awakening from a sleep of hundreds of millions of years. After she forced it awake and learned of its former ties to Dragon Court, the snake questioned her about the Dragon Court’s fate, while Bai Yujun remained wary of it.

• Bai Yujun realized that solid earth lay above the gray clouds and that she and her companions had been transported into an underground world.
• The Six-Winged Strange Snake awoke, rose from beneath the earth, and fixed its crimson eyes on Bai Yujun.
• Bai Yujun blocked the snake’s spiritual pressure and manifested a hundred-zhang dragon soul before forcibly Gazing into the Past to awaken its mind.
• The snake regained its wisdom, recognized Bai Yujun’s dragon aura, and asked about Dragon Court, the Heavenly Court, and the traitor Xiao.
• Bai Yujun told the snake that she was probably the Emperor and Empress’s daughter, described her wanderings, and kept her guard up despite its former service to Dragon Court.

Bai Yujun fought the Six-Winged Strange Snake with her hundred-zhang dragon soul after the snake revealed its greed and attacked her. The battle continued as Bai Yujun threw a Paper Talisman at her opponent, while a monkey near the South Heavenly Gate reacted to the starry sky.

• Bai Yujun sensed the Six-Winged Strange Snake's intent to kill her and took up an enlarged immortal heavy saber.
• The Six-Winged Strange Snake vanished to prepare a sneak attack, but Bai Yujun tracked her with True Sight.

• Bai Yujun dodged the Poisonous Thorn and struck the Six-Winged Strange Snake's face with the heavy saber, shocking her with lightning.
• Bai Yujun threw a Paper Talisman at the Six-Winged Strange Snake as their battle continued, while a monkey outside the South Heavenly Gate looked up and cried out.

Bai Yujun, the monkey, and Little Phoenix overwhelmed the Six-Winged Strange Snake before stopping to question it. The snake revealed that many ancient divine and ferocious beasts still survived, including groups in Kunlun Ruins and the Heavenly Prison.

• Bai Yujun summoned the monkey, whose spirit projection joined her fight against the Six-Winged Strange Snake.
• Little Phoenix secretly crossed the Immortal Bridge and descended into the battle, helping Bai Yujun and the monkey drive the snake into retreat.
• Bai Yujun stopped the fight before the collapsing cavern buried them and asked the strange snake how many ancient beasts remained.
• The Six-Winged Strange Snake said at least half had survived in hiding and named Kunlun Ruins and the Heavenly Prison as places where many could be found.
• The strange snake explained that Kunlun Ruins sheltered beasts who fled the fall of the Dragon Court, while the Heavenly Prison held ferocious beasts and traitors imprisoned by the dragons.
