After the group tested their own paths and discussed their different plans, the future of their cultivation remained uncertain.

• The group encountered vast fields of bones and powerful dreadful spirits, while later backward surges of the Light Sea continued to claim lives.
• On the fifteenth day, Wang Xuan sensed that something was happening to the three light spots within him and examined them.

Wang Xuan left the Planar Crevice to feed his increasingly hungry New Primordial Spirit in the Mental Worlds, after entrusting Jiang Qingyao’s Nurturing Life Furnace to Fang Yuzhu. On Old Earth, he reached the sixth layer of the Mental World and nourished his spirit, hoping to complete nirvana and help the people preparing to cross the Supernatural Light Sea.

• Wang Xuan sensed that his New Primordial Spirit and two other light spots were nearing rebirth, but the New Primordial Spirit was starving for spiritual power.
• As the Supernatural Light Sea battered the cavern, Fang Yuzhu and the others retreated and decided to wait until the sea began vanishing before crossing it.
• Wang Xuan decided to leave the Planar Crevice, handed Jiang Qingyao’s Nurturing Life Furnace and the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword to Fang Yuzhu, and asked Chen Yongjie to bring the Little Thing to them.
• Wang Xuan returned to Old Earth and entered the Mental Worlds, gathering spiritual herbs and absorbing their nourishment as he advanced to the sixth layer.
• After spending two days in the sixth layer, Wang Xuan fed his New Primordial Spirit and returned to the Real World, still hoping to forge a path that could help those crossing the sea.

Wang Xuan discovered that the Fate Soil and supernatural powers were declining, then uncovered a plan to attack the Transcendent Immortals in the Planar Crevice. As he rushed to hunt the plotter, the Earth Abyss was already under a devastating bombardment.

• Chen Yongjie told Wang Xuan that the survivors hoped he would forge a new path and that they might meet again in the new universe.

As the Supernatural Light Sea erupted and destabilized supernatural beings, Wang Xuan discovered that his New Primordial Spirit was draining and replacing his old self, leaving him gravely weakened. He woke with help from his friends, resisted the new spirit’s rebirth, and watched them cross the sea before collapsing again.

• The group crossed the receding Supernatural Light Sea and vanished, while Wang Xuan collapsed and was carried back to the spaceship by Qing Mu and Old Chen.

After waking, Wang Xuan learned that the Carefree Boat had abandoned the Transcendent Immortals during their crossing, then struggled with recurring unconsciousness as the supernatural era ended. He awoke again after a week and agreed to attend Qin Cheng’s wedding, which others planned to use to assess his condition.

• Wang Xuan woke at Qing Mu’s estate, found himself weakened by the Supernatural Winter, and learned that the Carefree Boat had fled with the progenitors of the Supernatural Palace and Gouchen Imperial Palace.

Wang Xuan woke briefly after the First Killing Array unleashed a mysterious power that frightened off the Carefree Boat, but he found no trace of its source before falling into a long sleep. Nearly three years later, the array still guarded his silent, overgrown manor as the people around him waited and gradually stopped visiting.

• Wang Xuan questioned Qing Mu and Liu Huaian about the array’s immense golden-and-silver light, then searched the shattered Body Slaying Banner and God Slaying Banner for clues to a supreme treasure.

• Qing Mu returned the Good Fortune True Crystals he and Chen Yongjie had saved for Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan accepted them before falling into an unbroken slumber.
• Over the next two years, Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, Liu Huaian, Wang Xuan’s parents, and other visitors worried when Wang Xuan did not wake, while the First Killing Array destroyed intruders and probes.
• As nearly three years passed, fewer people visited Wang Xuan’s manor, and its garden grew wild and overgrown.

After nearly three years of fusing his old and New Primordial Spirits, Wang Xuan explored the weakened meteorite passage and discovered a living island submerged beneath the sea of Red Mist.

After three years in a motionless state, Wang Xuan awoke and returned to his family and the Secret Path estate, having resolved the danger to his New Primordial Spirit. As he began rebuilding his life in an era where supernatural power had nearly vanished, trouble arose with the treasures he had sent for repair.

Wang Xuan learned that ancient artifacts resisted ordinary testing, then joined the laboratory team in outer space to investigate the short sword’s hidden material. Meanwhile, Zhou Yun arrived on Old Earth seeking contact with former fairies and learned rumors that Wang Xuan was seriously unwell.

• Wang Xuan warned Qing Mu and Zheng Yunhai to test the artifacts remotely and protect the flag fabric after their equipment repeatedly broke.
• Laboratories melted fragments of the Body Slaying Banner, God Slaying Banner, and iron stake, finding mysterious mist and unusual alloys, while only part of the short sword melted before testing stopped.

Wang Xuan uncovered and restored the Dao Control Banner’s hidden flagpole, a supreme treasure capable of piercing nearly anything, and returned to Old Earth with it. Meanwhile, Huang Ming called Wang Xuan’s long-silent number and discovered that it was finally switched on.

• Laser beams melted the outer layers of the ancient short sword, revealing a thumb-length sealed metal flagpole that destroyed the experimental capsules.
• Wang Xuan recognized the object as the Dao Control Banner’s flagpole and had it exposed to lasers until it shed its colorful seal and briefly expanded to its full size.

As his distant self neared the surface of the Misty Sea, Wang Xuan survived a dangerous spiritual backlash, and on Superstar his artifacts formed a mysterious Map of Mountains and Rivers.

• Wang Xuan returned to New Star, found that Lele was gone, mourned Qian An, and sensed his other self traveling through the Misty Sea.
