Zhan Ge pursued Luo Qingwu and Yu Bing, intending to take them as concubines, and dismissed their attempts to resist or escape. As Luo Qingwu prepared to sacrifice her Galan Yin Essence for Yu Bing, Yu Bing chose to fight, and Lin Xuan saw her Qilin phenomenon as he raced toward them.

• Zhan Ge repeatedly defeated Luo Qingwu and Yu Bing and taunted them about becoming his concubines.

• Zhan Ge rejected Luo Qingwu’s demand to let Yu Bing go and mocked Lin Xuan, prompting Yu Bing to unleash her powers.

• Zhan Ge dismissed the fighters of the Nine-Layer Yin-Yang Heaven, saying that only Wu Xu had seemed like a worthy opponent.

• Zhan Ge sensed two palm seals descending and destroyed the emerald-green one with his spear, then demanded to know who had attacked him.

• Zhan Ge launched Prairie Fire at Lin Xuan, confident that his stronger cultivation would leave Lin Xuan dead or crippled.

• Zhan Ge escaped Lin Xuan’s follow-up blade strike with Gale Shadowing, and Lin Xuan recognized that Zhan Ge’s speed posed a serious threat.

• Lin Xuan stored the captured spear, then returned to Yu Bing and Luo Qingwu and asked whether Xiao Yu’er was all right.

Lin Xuan rescued Yu Bing and Luo Qingwu from the Zhan clan and sheltered them while he cultivated. He advanced the Everlasting Emperor Art to the eighth layer and began learning Fallen Immortal Prison, still far from mastering the slash.

• Yu Bing thanked Lin Xuan for saving her, and he promised that Zhan Ge would die the next time they met.

• Lin Xuan began cultivating Fallen Immortal Prison in the World Extinguisher Blade Mound, but remained unable to master it after a thousand years inside the pagoda.

After three thousand years of training, Lin Xuan mastered Fallen Immortal Prison, the second slash of the Nine Slashes of World Extinction. He tested its power in the World Extinguisher Blade Mound, then began cultivating to recover while Luo Qingwu wondered what he had learned.

• Lin Xuan unleashed Fallen Immortal Prison, draining his spiritual power, physical strength, and true origin as a blade qi domain spread across fifty zhang.
• The domain’s pressure forced the saber-wielding phantoms to bow, and its blade radiance destroyed them.

• Luo Qingwu felt a chilling pressure from Lin Xuan and wondered what he had mastered.

Lin Xuan rapidly cultivated inside the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, breaking through to mid True Origin while his other arts advanced. He emerged needing spirit stones and offered Luo Qingwu a Metal Aspect Essence Core and a mountain of resources, leaving her newly resolved to avoid making an enemy of him.

• Lin Xuan cultivated for two thousand years in the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, exhausting his crystallized blood vitality and ten million spirit stones as his cultivation advanced.

• Lin Xuan asked Luo Qingwu whether she needed a Metal Aspect Essence Core and offered her a heap of cultivation resources in exchange for spirit stones.
• Lin Xuan told Luo Qingwu that the resources had been left by people who tried to kill him, and Luo Qingwu resolved to strengthen ties with the Divine Firmament Holy Land rather than oppose him.

Lin Xuan gave Luo Qingwu resources at a discount and gifted Yu Bing an even greater collection before cultivating the seventh transformation of the Profound Origin Nine Transformations. After sixteen hundred years, he completed it and left the story weighing his next step, with only two million spirit stones remaining.

• Luo Qingwu paid Lin Xuan thirteen million spirit stones for the resources and Metal Aspect Essence Core, and he let her keep the excess as a gift to the Galan Sacred Land.

• After sixteen hundred years, Lin Xuan completed the seventh transformation, and his aura grew terrifyingly powerful.
• Lin Xuan stopped cultivating and realized the eighth transformation required late-stage true astral energy, while he had only two million spirit stones left.

Lin Xuan completed a major cultivation breakthrough and reunited with Yu Bing, Luo Qingwu, Xu Yan, and the others. He used crimson-gold flames to restore Xu Yan and the group, leaving them amazed by his power.

Lin Xuan traded Metal Aspect Essence Cores and cultivation resources with Xiao Chen and the Xu family after revealing that he had entered a Myriad-Zhang Formation. As his group completed the deal, Zhan Ge encountered someone who remarked on his sorry state.

• Xiao Chen and the others questioned why Metal Aspect Heaven had no thousand-zhang formations, and Lin Xuan said he had entered a Myriad-Zhang Formation and obtained Metal Aspect Essence Cores.

• Lin Xuan offered the Xu family more cores and resources, and Xu Jing agreed to pay one million Spirit Crystals.
• Zhan Ge met someone who commented that a genius of the Zhan clan had fallen into a sorry state.

Wu Xu encountered the battered Zhan Ge, and the two discussed Lin Xuan’s growing threat and the weapons he had taken from Wu Xu. After Zhan Ge proposed joining forces, Wu Xu’s fiendish transformation faded, leaving their possible alliance unresolved.

• Wu Xu recognized that Lin Xuan was likely responsible for Zhan Ge’s injuries and believed Lin Xuan would die when they met again.
• Zhan Ge mocked Wu Xu over the deaths of his subordinates and asked him to join forces against Lin Xuan.

After Wu Xu refused to join forces, Xu Jing warned Lin Xuan that five Demonic Beasts were slaughtering people across the Metal Aspect Heaven, and Lin Xuan suspected Brahma Sound Temple was involved.

• Zhan Ge recognized Lin Xuan’s early advancement as the result of the abandoned War Lineage son’s inheritance and resolved to prevent him from leaving the Nine-Layer Yin-Yang Heaven.
• Wu Xu refused Zhan Ge’s offer to join forces against Lin Xuan, and Zhan Ge followed him to see how he planned to act.
• Xu Jing told Lin Xuan that five Demonic Beasts were attacking people in the Metal Aspect Heaven and had already killed more than a dozen Xu Lineage disciples.
• Lin Xuan suspected Wu Xu and the escaped Central Region prodigies were connected to the Demonic Beasts, then told Xu Jing and Luo Qingwu that Brahma Sound Temple might be involved.

Lin Xuan learned that Brahma Sound Temple was behind the Bloodshadow Fiendlands and that hidden Demonic Beasts threatened Metal Aspect Heaven. He went to investigate a battle involving Sun Bai of Jade Bloom Holy Land and a Central Region genius, where Sun Bai’s strange, fur-covered body came into view.

• Xu Jing and Luo Qingwu reacted angrily when Lin Xuan explained Brahma Sound Temple’s role in the Bloodshadow Fiendlands.
• Xu Jing told Lin Xuan that the Demonic Beasts could not be detected and that the Metal Aspect Heaven teleportation array could not transport everyone.
• Xu Jing received a message that Sun Bai had restrained a Demonic Beast but needed help, then led the Xu family disciples toward the battle.
• Lin Xuan told Luo Qingwu and Xiao Yu'er to stay behind and followed Xu Jing’s group alone.
• Lin Xuan saw Jade Bloom Holy Land disciples surrounding a fight between Sun Bai and a Central Region genius, and noticed Sun Bai’s body was covered in striped fur.
