• Wang Xuan cautiously praised the Demon Lord and Fang Yuzhu while testing whether the shadows were the Demon Lord's parents, and the woman asked whom he would choose between the two.

After sensing ancient curses and narrowly escaping an attack that tore open a great curtain, he used a brief lull in the threats to enter the Misty Land and reach the Eleventh Stage.

• The Little White Tiger and the Ghost Monk explained the Dao Control Great Realm, the lost Sky-Veiling Mirror, and how civilizations forged supreme treasures as mythology ended.
• Wang Xuan returned to Qing Mu's Manor and spent days preparing to enter the Misty Land and pursue a breakthrough.
• While seeking the self within, Wang Xuan sensed a blood-dripping chain and scarlet eyes; Chen Yongjie and Wang Xuan concluded that an ancient curse was targeting him and that a man and woman were helping dissolve it.
• Wang Xuan later sensed approaching golden eyes, fled with a warning to Old Chen, and watched a great curtain open and swallow his house as a powerful figure tried to drag him into the Immortal Realm.
• After finding the unseen threats had temporarily gone quiet, Wang Xuan entered the Misty Land with Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu guarding him and reached the Eleventh Stage.

Wang Xuan planted the First Immortal Tea Tree beside the Life Pool and repeatedly tried to break through the Eleventh Stage, but every method failed. He entered the dangerous Meteorite Road seeking another path and woke to find Fang Yuzhu and Demon Lord Yanyan beside him.

• Wang Xuan reached the Life Pool in only twenty days and planted the First Immortal Tea Tree beside the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine.
• Wang Xuan brewed First Immortal Tea with dew from the vine, then endured Red Substance while practicing transformation techniques and other scriptures without breaking through Ten Stages.
• Wang Xuan traveled to the meteorite pit, named the Ninth Stage Illusory Void and the Tenth Stage Limit Break, and found that the Cactus Heavenly Medicine could not overcome the Eleventh Stage checkpoint.
• Wang Xuan entered the Meteorite Road while practicing a mental method that treated the world as a dream, but scorching, near-real Red Substance overwhelmed him.
• Wang Xuan opened his eyes to find Fang Yuzhu touching his forehead and Demon Lord Yanyan wiping his face.

Wang Xuan mistook the powerful figures in the meteorite passage for illusions, only to discover they might have truly arrived and to flee in confusion. As he questioned what was real, two people in the outside world sensed that a terrifying event from the past might be repeating.

• Wang Xuan awoke in the meteorite passage and mocked Demon Lord Yanyan, Zhang Daoling, and the other figures as dream apparitions.
• Zheng Yuantian attacked Wang Xuan, who defended himself with the furnace lid while repeatedly trying to break free of what he thought was an illusion.
• Fang Yuzhu blocked Zheng Yuantian and Demon Ancestor Qi Yi, but Wang Xuan pulled her back and called her "Sister Yuzhu," prompting the others to question his sanity.
• Wang Xuan saw that the figures possessed genuine Primordial Spirit power and fled the passage, secretly carrying a piece of Demon Lord Yanyan's dress.
• At the Life Pool, Wang Xuan wondered whether his recent experiences had been real or false and decided to return to the meteorite crater.
• Outside, a peerless figure and another person sensed that a terrifying event from the past might be happening again.

Wang Xuan returned to the meteorite passage and discovered that the Primordial Spirit figures there remembered events from the present world, though the passage itself had vanished. Zheng Yuantian died after recalling Wang Xuan’s account, a mysterious silver-robed figure emerged from his ashes, and Wang Xuan returned to find evidence that his journey had been real.

• Wang Xuan used the Nurturing Life Furnace to confirm that the Primordial Spirit figures above him were real, despite finding no passage in the stone wall.
• Wang Xuan reminded Fang Yuzhu, Demon Lord Yanyan, Zhang Daoling, and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor of events from the present world, and they began to remember them.
• Wang Xuan told Zheng Yuantian that he had killed him, and Zheng Yuantian split apart and dissolved into ash.
• A silver-robed figure appeared from Zheng Yuantian’s ashes and was identified by Fang Yuzhu as the creator of the Great Demon Fetus Technique.
• Demon Lord Yanyan, Old Zhang, the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, and Fang Yuzhu sensed that reality and illusion were changing around them.
• Wang Xuan left with a fragment of Fang Yuzhu’s garment and found Chen Yongjie asleep; he saw that the garment fragment bore burn marks.

After escaping the Misty Land, Wang Xuan found evidence that his seclusion had made him and Chen Yongjie fade from reality, leaving him to question whether the present world was real. As he and Chen Yongjie investigated, distant figures including Demon Lord Yanyan and Fang Yuzhu also noticed mysterious damage and feared that reality was being altered.

• Wang Xuan returned to the present world carrying two burnt scraps of dress, and he and Chen Yongjie watched footage showing them both nearly disappear during his seclusion.
• Wang Xuan doubted the reality of his return, then theorized that the present world and another world beyond the meteorite passage might be reflections of one another.
• Wang Xuan considered whether the demonic flower or another force had caused the event, while Chen Yongjie warned that projections could still think.
• Demon Lord Yanyan, Zhang Daoling, Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, and Fang Yuzhu discussed their missing spiritual light, damaged clothes, and the possible return of an ancient catastrophe.
• Wang Xuan asked Chen Yongjie to contact the distant group, but Qing Mu sent them photographs of the dress scraps before Wang Xuan could stop him.

Wang Xuan tested whether enemies could reveal the secrets of the Land of Nothingness, but the experiment yielded little beyond another fragment of Demon Lord Yanyan’s dress. While he pondered the boundary between illusion and reality, two mysterious beings targeted him, and he considered using his strange state to strike back.

• Wang Xuan searched Old Earth for enemies to use as test subjects, and Mo Si brought him two granddisciples of Zheng Yuantian who had sworn to kill him.
• Wang Xuan took the half-dead Primordial Spirits into the Land of Nothingness, where the two men died without revealing any change in the passage; he returned with another burnt piece of Yanyan’s dress.
• Demon Lord Yanyan grew furious over the missing piece of her dress, while Zhang Daoling speculated that Wang Xuan’s appearances were connected to the scripture used to refine the Sky-Veiling Mirror.
• Wang Xuan meditated on how mythology and the supernatural world shifted between illusion and reality, then sensed scarlet eyes and a golden figure watching him from distant realms.
• The scarlet-eyed being threatened Wang Xuan and sent blood-dripping chains toward him; Wang Xuan considered turning his pursuers’ mind-light into nothingness and killing them in the meteorite passage.

Wang Xuan let two ancient curses reach him and used their clashing spiritual power to vanish from Old Earth, leaving the powerful beings who had targeted him searching the void. Meanwhile, Yanyan received evidence linking Wang Xuan to the super hatchling just as the Unknown Place began pulling her away again.

• Wang Xuan asked the man and woman in the Divine Halo to let the evil dragon’s and the golden-eyed creature’s curses reach him so he could temper his Dao.
• The evil dragon and the golden-eyed creature sent spiritual chains to seize Wang Xuan, and their powers clashed as they tried to claim him.
• Wang Xuan disappeared from Old Earth along with the released spiritual power, startling the two attackers and the protective shadows.
• Aboard the ancient spacecraft, Yanyan and the others examined photographs and dress fragments accompanied by a message identifying the super hatchling as Wang Xuan.
• Yanyan’s expression changed when the Unknown Place began pulling her away again.

Wang Xuan drew the mind light of the Evil Dragon and a mysterious golden being into the Misty Land, where he broke free of their curses and defeated their manifestations. He repeatedly lured them back to burn away their mind light, leaving their distant true bodies weakened and puzzled.

• Wang Xuan reached the Misty Land with the ancient curses attached to him and used Red Substance to erode them.
• Wang Xuan scattered his Primordial Spirit with the Myriad Transformation Spring Rain Curse to escape the chains, then used the Nurturing Life Furnace lid to break them and expose the Evil Dragon and golden being.
• The Evil Dragon and golden being demanded Wang Xuan’s body and Supreme Treasure, but Wang Xuan rejected them and fought their strands of mind light with his supernatural abilities.
• Wang Xuan used the God Slaying Banner, Iron Stake, Red Substance, and furnace lid to subdue and destroy the two manifestations.
• Wang Xuan deliberately allowed the beings’ mind light to enter again, then returned to the Misty Land to weaken them repeatedly; their true bodies sensed that their minds had dimmed.

Wang Xuan repeatedly provoked the evil dragon and golden figure, using their attacks to strengthen himself until both fled. Meanwhile, the four experts connected his strange experiences to the Sky-Veiling Mirror and left him warnings, but the chapter ended with their spiritual lights being pulled away again and Wang Xuan noticing Demon Lord Yanyan’s message.

• Wang Xuan reflected that fighting powerful enemies had helped him approach the Eleventh Stage, then provoked the evil dragon and golden figure into attacking him again.
• After several rounds of draining their spiritual light, Wang Xuan found the evil dragon and golden figure had fled, while the four experts aboard the ancient spaceship discussed his actions and their damaged garments.
• Zhang Daoling, Fang Yuzhu, Demon Lord Yanyan, and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor linked Wang Xuan’s strange experiences to the scripture associated with the Sky-Veiling Mirror and suspected he might be unknowingly transforming illusion into reality.
• The four experts wrote messages on the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor’s armor for Wang Xuan, including Demon Lord Yanyan’s threat not to tear her skirt again.
• As the experts’ spiritual lights began to fade once more, Wang Xuan saw the words “Tear my skirt” on Demon Lord Yanyan’s tattered red dress.

Wang Xuan and the experts investigated the strange passage that repeatedly drew in their Primordial Spirits, using messages written on their clothes to preserve information across memory loss. They traced Wang Xuan’s abnormal state to the Great Law of Mental Illness on a yellowed page, while Fang Yuzhu proposed that the demon flower might be a shared wish rooted in living beings’ hearts.

• Wang Xuan diverted attention from Demon Lord Yanyan’s embarrassing message by warning the experts that they were being controlled and repeatedly drawn into the passage without memories.
• Wang Xuan returned to the Real World with a piece of Yanyan’s skirt bearing her warning, and Chen Yongjie noticed that an ordinary yellowed page emitted the light that made Wang Xuan disappear.
• Wang Xuan and the others received the experts’ deductions, identified the page as the Great Law of Mental Illness, and learned that his practice of it might have caused his abnormal spiritual state.
• Wang Xuan brought the page into the passage and privately discussed its mysteries with Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, Yanyan, and Nether Blood Sect Ancestor.
• Fang Yuzhu urged Wang Xuan to watch the experts’ Primordial Spirits depart once his problem was resolved, while she and Yanyan theorized that the demon flower was a shared wish for eternal life.

Wang Xuan learned that the strange paper had turned the experts he visualized into powerful avatars, and he spent years cultivating them while they helped him reach the Eleventh Stage. His breakthrough sent the Red Substance surging and made supreme treasures resonate, while the ceiling of the present world pressed down on transcendent beings.

• Fang Yuzhu and the others determined that the paper and Sky-Veiling Mirror fragments had drawn portions of their spiritual light into Wang Xuan's mental avatars, putting his mind at risk.
• Fang Yuzhu proposed a method to send away the experts' spiritual light and cultivate Wang Xuan's avatars, which could lead him toward the Eleventh and perhaps Twelfth Stages.
• Wang Xuan spent years in the Misty Land nurturing his avatars and training with them, then sent away the experts' Primordial Spirit light in his sixth year.
• By his ninth year, Wang Xuan had successfully cultivated powerful avatars, and he continued to improve his combat experience and accumulate strength.
• In his eleventh year, Wang Xuan's Primordial Spirit transformed and he reached the Eleventh Stage, the foremost known field and the theoretical limit.
• Wang Xuan's breakthrough made the Red Substance surge, caused the devil flower and treasures to shine, and made transcendent beings feel the weight of the ceiling as supreme treasures resonated in the Immortal Realm.

As the Immortal Realm’s supreme treasures trembled and its supernatural civilization neared collapse, Wang Xuan resolved his mental problem and broke through from the Ten Stages to the Eleventh Stage. He named his new realm the frontier wilderness and prepared to venture into the depths of the cosmos.

• Ling Luanxian and other experts realized that the Immortal Realm was fading and that they were remnants of souls who had died during Ascension to Immortality.
• Zhou Qinghuang and Gu Mingxi discussed their uncertain futures as supernatural beings in the present world.
• Wang Xuan rested beside the Life Pool while his proud avatars fought among themselves and Yanyan attacked him, forcing him to flee with tea fruits.
• Wang Xuan returned to find Chen Yongjie and the avatars had been severely weakened by the latest shockwave from the supreme treasures.
• After Wang Xuan fused with his physical body, he resolved his mental problem, underwent a dramatic transformation, and advanced to the Eleventh Stage, which he called the frontier wilderness.

After reaching the Eleventh Stage, Wang Xuan visited Banished Immortal Tea House and found Supernatural Practitioners giving up their cultivation paths as the supernatural era ended. He left determined to keep seeking the Dao and to enter deep space to bring Goddess Zhao and Wu Yin home.

• Wang Xuan reassured Chen Yongjie that his foundation had been tempered and secretly gave him tea fruits to use during seclusion.
• Wang Xuan asked Chen Yongjie to deliver tea fruits to Sword Immortal, who was angry with Wang Xuan for shaking her smaller again.
• At Huang Ming's Banished Immortal Tea House, Wang Xuan heard Huang Ming, Zhou Qinghuang, Gu Mingxi, and other Supernatural Practitioners discuss adapting to ordinary life and pursuing business as the supernatural declined.
• Wang Xuan listened as Mo Si left the tea house in despair and wrestled with whether to prepare for an Exhausted Era without abandoning his pursuit of the supernatural path.
• Wang Xuan accepted that the great-era upheaval had begun, resolved to keep exploring even if he became ordinary, and decided to enter deep space to bring Goddess Zhao and Wu Yin home.

Wang Xuan and Qing Mu traveled by warship toward the Secret Land so Wang Xuan could bring Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin home. They reached the planet’s vicinity after discovering that the Brown Star supply base had been attacked and abandoned.

• Wang Xuan prepared to leave Old Earth and asked Chen Yongjie for a warship so he could fulfill his promise to bring Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin home.
• Chen Yongjie stayed behind with Guan Lin, while Qing Mu joined Wang Xuan as his deputy in the Ship Cultivation lineage.
• Wang Xuan said goodbye to his parents, then he and Qing Mu departed aboard a medium-small warship.
• They passed through the wormholes at Proxima Centauri b, Deep Space Eighth Star, and Nineteenth Star, reaching the distant starry sky beyond New Star’s universe.
• Wang Xuan and Qing Mu found the Brown Star base damaged and abandoned, so they continued directly toward the Secret Land.
