Wang Xuan waited out the turmoil after a powerful Anomalous Being killed Lei Hong, then ambushed the badly wounded Lightning Beast Clan descendants who had caused Lei Hong to investigate the spatial secret realm. He killed Liu Ming and the others, just as Zhuo Yanran and her companions arrived and recognized him as Lu Renjia.

• The Lightning Beast Clan learned that Lei Hong had been killed and its supreme treasure destroyed, while the cymbal-wielding Anomalous Being searched the Mysterious Sea before departing.
• Wang Xuan hid with Lu Wufa as investigators searched the sea, and the Lightning Beast Clan blamed Liu Ming, the Silver-haired Woman, and the gray-haired man, who fled and became wanted criminals.

Wang Xuan reunited with Zhuo Yanran, Xuan Tian, Jin Yu, and Lu Wufa in the Mysterious Sea, and the group shared a feast instead of fighting. Chasing a True Return Fish helped Wang Xuan break through to the eighth level of the True Immortal realm, and the night ended with a giant turtle revealing its long history with Xuan Tian’s ancestors.

• Xuan Tian urged Wang Xuan to test his strength against Turtle Head Peak, but the supposed mountain turned its head and recognized generations of Xuan Tian’s ancestors.

A fossil turtle revealed its ancient history to Xuan Tian, Jin Yu, Zhuo Yanran, Lu Wufa, and Wang Xuan, then recognized a resemblance between Wang Xuan and Wang Yusheng. The turtle began to share what Wang Yusheng had told it before they parted, leaving Wang Xuan poised to learn more about his brother.

• The fossil turtle recalled the ancestors of Xuan Tian, Jin Yu, and Zhuo Yanran, and praised Lu Wufa's clan as dutiful and untainted.
• The turtle told Xuan Tian that he was only a distant relative and that the Xuan Turtle Clan's First Ancestor had likely died attempting to reach the True Saint realm.

• The turtle recognized a resemblance between Wang Xuan's life aura and that of Wang Yusheng, whom it had hidden from the Tattoo Palace and other pursuers two eras earlier.
• The turtle recalled Wang Yusheng's Paper Cutting Knife and his promise to repay the turtle, then wondered whether Wang Xuan was his reincarnation or descendant.
• The turtle began to mention something Wang Yusheng had said before they parted, but held back unless Wang Xuan had a connection to him.

Wang Xuan learned from the Old Turtle about Wang Yusheng’s bloody struggle against the Tattoo Palace and resolved to grow strong enough to confront their faction. After returning to the Black Peacock Sacred Mountain, he studied the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture in seclusion until Badger Wu Xingtian summoned him to leave for the Immortal Realm and a gathering.

• The Old Turtle told Wang Xuan that Wang Yusheng had been gravely wounded, missed his family, and vowed to reach the True Saint Domain so he could survive and slay a Saint.

• Wang Xuan gave Silver Strange Fish flesh to Lang Tian and learned that Lang Tian believed his father, Badger Wu Xingtian, might follow an extraordinary path.
• Wang Xuan secluded himself to study Dao-imperialized texture and the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture, whose final three realms were difficult to cultivate.
• Three months later, Badger Wu Xingtian left Wang Xuan a message summoning him to set off for the Immortal Realm and attend a gathering.

After emerging from seclusion, Wang Xuan joined Black Peacock Sacred Mountain’s group as they prepared to travel to the immortal realm for a grand gathering of supreme factions.

• Wang Xuan spotted a familiar figure from the Mother Universe and wondered whether he had encountered an old acquaintance.

Wang Xuan recognized Zhou Qinghuang among the visitors to Sky City but stayed away to avoid drawing suspicion. After confronting the Candle Dragon Clan, he cultivated the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture and discovered its final stages might require breaking limits; meanwhile, Xuan Tian, Black Crane, and Jin Yu watched two women fight and wondered whether Lu Renjia could distract them.

• Wang Xuan spotted Zhou Qinghuang, an old friend from the Mother Universe, and recalled her past before deciding not to approach her because Nine Spirits Cave might be watching.
• The Mysterious Mobile Phone tried to photograph Zhou Qinghuang, while Wang Xuan's companions teased him and Chong Xiao warned that she belonged to the powerful Nine Spirits Cave lineage.
• The Candle Dragon Clan pursued Wang Xuan and challenged him, but he refused their attempt to lure him out of the city and mocked them before they left, promising to meet him in the Life and Death Arena.
• Wang Xuan cultivated the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture, endured its destructive starlight and fire, and mastered its first eight levels before realizing the remaining stages might divide into six more levels tied to breaking limits.
• Xuan Tian, Black Crane, and Jin Yu secretly watched two women engage in a fierce duel and considered contacting Lu Renjia to draw their attention away from the fight.

Wang Xuan studied the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture and connected Limit Breaking with Dao-imperialization, while the Mysterious Mobile Phone impersonated him in an embarrassing exchange with Zhuo Yanran. As the Black Peacock Sacred Mountain disciples explored Sky City, Wang Xuan learned that Ancient and Modern might have appeared in a mysterious battle more than eighty years earlier and asked for details.

• The Mysterious Mobile Phone told Wang Xuan that Xuan Tian had contacted him, then secretly chatted with Xuan Tian while Wang Xuan studied the Star River Cleansing Body Scripture.
• Wang Xuan read Xuan Tian's warnings about the scripture and reasoned that Limit Breaking and Dao-imperialization shared an essence and might help him break through to the Heaven rank.

• Wang Xuan asked Chong Xiao for more details about the battle and how it ended.

Wang Xuan learned that Gujin had fought a terrifying being in a distant realm and might face danger after returning, then visited Sky City’s rare items district with his companions. There, An Jingqi recognized Kong Xuan, setting up a likely confrontation.

• Chong Xiao told Wang Xuan and the others that a Great Perfection Heavenly Grade expert had witnessed Gujin battling a mysterious being in the Bronze Giant Palace and had fallen unconscious for ten years.
• Chong Xiao judged that Gujin might be at a disadvantage after losing its territory and support, while a passing Anomalous Being warned that struggles at that level were more complicated and perilous than they imagined.
• Wang Xuan and his companions found the Bronze Giant Palace too expensive to enter and went to the rare items district instead.
• Xiong Shan summoned Chong Xiao and Kong Xuan to help him bargain for Three-Colored Strange Bamboo, and the shopkeeper lowered the price.
• An Jingqi heard Xiong Shan call out Kong Xuan, recognized Wang Xuan, and walked over as Yuan Sheng and Xuan Tian anticipated trouble.

Wang Xuan used Bear Pang and an immortal peach to ease tensions with An Jingqi, who then tried to hire him to fight Zhuo Yanran. As he deferred her offer, the Bronze Giant Palace began plotting a showdown between him and Lu Renjia, and Zhuo Yanran arrived to meet him.

• Wang Xuan petted Bear Pang while greeting An Jingqi, and Bear Pang gladly let her hold it in exchange for an immortal peach.
• An Jingqi proposed a fair fight with Zhuo Yanran and offered to hire Wang Xuan, while his companions insisted he was peaceful and unsuited to combat.

• Gu Ming of the Bronze Giant Palace invited Wang Xuan to compete in its arena and mentioned Lu Renjia and Ye Ge as potential opponents.
• Several burly men attacked Chen Yu and Wolverine, destroyed Wolverine’s substitute, and kicked Young Lang Tian aside, so Wang Xuan, Chong Xiao, the Six-Eyed Golden Cicada, and the others rushed to help.

Wang Xuan and his companions were ambushed by Sky City's supernatural law enforcers, who framed them while trying to kill Badger Wu Xingtian and injure their group. After the Sky Patrol Divine Mirror exposed the plot and the Candle Dragon Clan's involvement, Wang Xuan rejected the official punishment and challenged the clan to settle their grievances in the Bronze Giant Palace's arena.

• Seven burly Heavenly Grade Experts attacked Badger Wu Xingtian while others targeted Chen Yu, and Wang Xuan, Chong Xiao, and their companions rushed in to defend them.
• An Jingqi used her Sky Jade Token to halt the fighting, while the group demanded that the Sky Patrol Divine Mirror's records be checked.

Wang Xuan agreed to face the Candle Dragon Clan’s Super Peerless Zhu Hai in an emergency match after Nie Qing proved unavailable. As the arena prepared to suppress the ninth-level battlefield to True Immortal level, Wang Xuan entered the cage excited to fight Zhu Hai.

• Zhu Hai refused to fight Wang Xuan himself at first and called for Nie Qing, an undefeated True Immortal, to challenge him instead.
• Wang Xuan bristled at being treated as someone others could assign an opponent to, but considered the Bronze Giant Palace’s offer of rare texts and rewards.

• Wang Xuan warned Chen Gu and the Candle Dragon Ancestor that both his parents were powerful Anomalous Beings who could come and kill several Anomalous Beings.
