Lin Xuan arrived in the valley and protected Xiao Chen and the others while fighting the Bloodshadow Fiendlands disciples. After freezing and killing many enemies, he faced their attacks and unleashed a devastating saber technique, forcing Ouyang Hua to order the formation activated.

• Lin Xuan unleashed Fallen Immortal Prison, and his Blade Inferno killed more than a hundred Bloodshadow Fiendlands disciples.
• Ouyang Hua ordered the formation activated as Dark Prison Thunder Owl trembled before Lin Xuan’s power.

Lin Xuan’s overwhelming strength drove Ouyang Hua and Dark Prison Thunder Owl to unleash the Azure Lightning Prison Formation, which trapped everyone in the valley and began sweeping them away with black tides and lightning. As the formation swallowed Bloodshadow Fiendlands disciples, Lin Xuan drew on his power to respond.

• Ouyang Hua and Dark Prison Thunder Owl poured their power into the ground and completed the Azure Lightning Prison Formation.
• The formation bound everyone in the valley, including Lin Xuan, Xiao Chen, and the Bloodshadow Fiendlands disciples.

• Lin Xuan saw the tide closing in and activated his fiftyfold-breadth dantian, Ten Thousand Woods Suppressing the Cosmos, the Earth element, and the fourth level of Heaven's Wrath.

Lin Xuan shattered the Azure Lightning Prison Formation’s suppression and slaughtered the Bloodshadow Fiendlands disciples, but the formation’s dark tide still threatened Xiao Chen and the others. He held it back rather than flee, while his companions urged him to escape and warned that the formation would keep generating until its controller was killed.

• Xiao Ya and the others urged Lin Xuan to leave, explaining that the formation would continue generating until its controller was killed.

• Lin Xuan sensed Ouyang Hua and the Dark Prison Thunder Owl preparing to leave more than two thousand li away, then vanished toward them.

• Ouyang Hua and the Dark Prison Thunder Owl sensed Lin Xuan approaching and fled at full speed.

• The Dark Prison Thunder Owl threatened to use Fiend Disintegration if Ouyang Hua left him behind.
• Lin Xuan caught up to within a short distance and noted that Fiend Disintegration could pose a problem.

After Lin Xuan drove Ouyang Hua and Dark Prison Thunder Owl into retreat, Yu Bing and the others gathered in the valley and learned what had happened. Lin Xuan caught up to the fugitives as they neared their escape plan, and overwhelming pressure slowed them down.

• Ouyang Hua used the Dark Prison Thunder Owl's power to break through to the Starlight Extremity, but Lin Xuan's Blade Inferno and Thunder Dragon Descent tore through his defenses.

• Lin Xuan began cultivating with blood qi and spirit stones to raise his strength before entering the final two heavens.

Lin Xuan cultivated for 4,000 years within the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, reaching the peak of the True Origin Realm and the eighth level of the Everlasting Emperor Art. He suppressed his urge to break through to the Core Realm and began cultivating the Sunbright Extremity.

• Lin Xuan absorbed Spirit Crystals while aberrant energy repeatedly damaged and restored his body, eventually reaching the peak of the True Origin Realm.
• Lin Xuan's Spirit Flame helped remove the barrier to the Core Realm, but he suppressed his breakthrough because he was inside the Nine-Layer Yin-Yang Heaven and wanted to strengthen his foundation.
• Lin Xuan cultivated until the Everlasting Emperor Art reached the peak of its eighth level, sensing that the advance had also drawn the attention of heavenly punishment.
• Lin Xuan ended the session after spending 4,000 years and twenty million spirit stones, with his spiritual power at 447 zhang and 42,385 years left in the Soul Suppressing Pagoda.
• Lin Xuan resumed cultivation to pursue the Sunbright Extremity, the final transformation of the Profound Origin Nine Transformations.

Lin Xuan completed the Sunbright Extremity and sensed there might be another stage beyond it, though his attempts to advance further were slow. He then merged Speed Intent into Flowing Light Flash, creating a faster movement technique he named Flowing Light Steps the Void.

• Lin Xuan spent 6,400 years and 800,000 Spirit Crystals cultivating the ninth transformation until golden sunbright radiance filled his dantian and he reached the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm.

Lin Xuan left Thunder Aspect Heaven and arrived in Yin Aspect Heaven, where his bloodline guidance pointed toward the silver moon and he sensed danger there. After killing a colossal beast, he watched it reform from silver energy and struck it down again.

• Lin Xuan followed his bloodline guidance toward the silver moon and sensed immense danger in its direction.
• Lin Xuan killed a colossal beast with a lightning dragon, but the beast reformed from silver energy and Yin attribute power.
• Lin Xuan used Mountain Shattering to blast apart the reformed beast.

Lin Xuan discovered that spiritual attacks could kill the beasts in Yin Aspect Heaven and harvest Yin Essence Crystals, but he could not reach the silver moon to obtain Yin Essence. As he searched for Xu Yan without success, Wu Wei found the Gate of Yang and suspected the Taiyin Jiyang Immortal Scripture was real.

• Lin Xuan used a Spirit Blade to sever the beast’s special connection, making it drop a Yin Essence Crystal that he absorbed.

• Lin Xuan searched Yin Aspect Heaven for Xu Yan and Scarletgold Flowflame but found neither, nor any other people.
• In Yang Aspect Heaven, Wu Wei discovered the Gate of Yang and concluded that the Taiyin Jiyang Immortal Scripture might be real.

Wu Wei discovered that the golden gate in Yang Aspect Heaven required life force to weaken its restriction and believed the other half of the Immortal Scripture was in Yin Aspect Heaven. He sent a message through karmic threads to gather everyone who had entered Yang Aspect Heaven.

• Wu Wei told Ouyang Hua that the Immortal Scripture was a gift from his Buddha and that its other half might be in Yin Aspect Heaven.
• Wu Wei asked whether Lin Xuan had reached Yin Aspect Heaven and said Lin Xuan was destined to die beneath karmic fire.
• Wu Wei tried to open the golden gate and found that it drained life force, weakening its resistance as it brightened.
• Wu Wei ordered Ouyang Hua to bring over everyone who had entered Yang Aspect Heaven, then sent messages along gray karmic threads.
• Ouyang Hua withdrew as forces connected to the Brahma Sound Temple began to move throughout the Nine-Layer Yin-Yang Heaven.

Lin Xuan searched Yin Aspect Heaven for Yan'er, Xu Jing, and Scarletgold Flowflame, then found a Xu family disciple being chased by Jade Bloom Holy Land disciples. The chapter left the two pursuers terrified as Lin Xuan arrived to rescue the fleeing disciple.

• Lin Xuan absorbed a Yin Essence Crystal and, after half a month of searching, still had not sensed Scarletgold Flowflame's aura or found Yan'er and Xu Jing.

• The injured Xu family disciple stopped and prepared to fight, while the Jade Bloom Holy Land disciples mocked him.
• Lin Xuan appeared and asked whether he was worthy; the Xu family disciple greeted him as Young Master, and the pursuers recognized Lin Xuan with terror.

• A Xu family disciple told Lin Xuan that people were being captured and taken to Yang Aspect Heaven, where half of an immortal scripture was rumored to have appeared.
• Lin Xuan learned that the Yin Gate might contain the Grand Yin Immortal Scripture, but the Xu family could not open it because the gate resisted everything except spiritual power.

• Lin Xuan followed the aura of Scarletgold Flowflame to a silver gate that appeared to exist in another dimension.
