The Heavenly Palace appeared in the Sacred Ancient Battlefield, and Chen Wudi explained that its Heavenly Chosen Inheritance could boost the chance of leaving a name on the Sacred Stele. After learning Chen Wen had killed Qi Taiyi and helped kill Long Tianzi, Xuanyuan Beiqiong began taking Chen Wen seriously and questioned why the Four Great Powers had targeted him.

• Chen Wudi told Chen Wen that the Heavenly Palace had appeared and explained the ranks and benefits of its Heavenly Chosen Inheritance.

• Xuanyuan Beiyang reported that Chen Wen had killed Qi Taiyi alone, even while Qi Taiyi drew on the Dragon Vein.
• Xuanyuan Beiyang revealed that Chen Wen and Chen Wudi had killed Long Tianzi after Chen Wen used Chen Wudi's punch to strike him.
• Xuanyuan Beiqiong recognized Chen Wen's extraordinary battle awareness and potential, then asked Xuanyuan Beiyang why the Four Great Powers had targeted him.

Xuanyuan Beiqiong learned that Chen Wen might possess an Enlightenment Fruit and decided to investigate it himself. As the Nine-Layered Heavenly Palace opened, the disciples prepared for its nine Heavenly Chosen Halos to select them for inheritance.

• Nine halos of different colors descended before the gathered disciples.

The golden Heavenly Chosen Halo selected Chen Hongmian, Chen Wudi, and Xuanyuan Beiqiong, while its final beam passed Chen Wen and disappeared into empty space. An old man called for someone to come out, and a figure emerged from a distorted vortex, shocking everyone.

• The crimson through silver Heavenly Chosen Halos selected disciples in succession, but Chen Wen remained among those awaiting the golden halo.

• The crowd reacted in shock when Chen Wen appeared not to have received a selection, while Chen Wen stayed composed despite his disappointment.
• An old man ordered someone to come out, and a figure stepped from a distorted vortex where the final golden stream had disappeared.

Long Tianzi returned unharmed after Chen Wen had apparently killed him, and he formally vowed to take revenge. After the Heavenly Chosen Inheritance ended without selecting Chen Wen, Chen Hongmian demanded an explanation from the elder.

• The elder announced that the Heavenly Chosen Inheritance had ended, and the crowd realized Chen Wen had not received an inheritance.
• Chen Hongmian demanded to know why Chen Wen had not been chosen.

Chen Wen was rejected by the Heavenly Selection because he was a Fate Tribulation, but he refused to let the judgment stop Chen Wudi and Chen Hongmian from accepting the Heavenly Palace Inheritance. After the inheritance disappeared, Chen Wen dismissed its value, and another elder unexpectedly spoke up in agreement.

Mo Dengxian invited Chen Wen to attempt the mysterious Outer Sky Road inheritance, and Chen Wen accepted despite being warned that it might contain nothing. While Chen Wen recovered, Mo Dengxian and Zhao Qingfeng wagered on how far he would travel before the Final Land opened.

• Zhao Qingfeng mocked Mo Dengxian for guarding an inheritance that no one had ever obtained, but Mo Dengxian invited Chen Wen to try it.
• Chen Wen accepted the trial after Mo Dengxian admitted he could not be sure an inheritance existed, trusting that the person who ordered him to guard it had not been joking.

• Zhao Qingfeng proposed a wager with Mo Dengxian on whether Chen Wen would reach halfway or the end of the Outer Sky Road before the Final Land opened, and Mo Dengxian agreed.
• Chen Wen recovered for an hour while Mo Dengxian silently hoped he would succeed.

Chen Wen learned about Mo Dengxian and Zhao Qingfeng’s wager over how far he would travel along the Outer Sky Road, then bargained for Heaven Source by promising to reach its halfway point or end. He entered the road as Mo Dengxian and Zhao Qingfeng argued over whether he could succeed.

• Chen Wen prepared to enter the suspended entrance, and Mo Dengxian told him to keep moving forward without looking back.
• Zhao Qingfeng revealed that Mo Dengxian had wagered on Chen Wen’s progress, prompting Mo Dengxian to explain the terms to Chen Wen.
• Mo Dengxian explained that Heaven Source was far more powerful than God Source and could transform a person’s foundation.

Just as Mo Dengxian prepared to hand over the Heaven Source after Chen Wen appeared to collapse, Chen Wen moved again.

• Chen Wen entered the Outer Sky Road, found that his Soul Power could not probe it, and chose to follow his own will after Xian Hongshao refused to guide him.
• Chen Wen walked onward, though he appeared painfully slow to Zhao Qingfeng and Mo Dengxian, and Zhao Qingfeng mocked his chances of reaching the halfway point.
• After three days of silence, Chen Wen grew doubtful and irritable as despair took form around him, prompting Zhao Qingfeng to mock him and Mo Dengxian to fear he would fail.
• Three more days later, Chen Wen stood motionless as his soul and will seemed to collapse, and Mo Dengxian took out the Heaven Source to pay his bet with Zhao Qingfeng.
• Mo Dengxian noticed Chen Wen make a new movement and put the Heaven Source away before Zhao Qingfeng could take it.

Chen Wen overcame the Outer Sky Road’s crushing negative emotions and realized that the trial itself was the inheritance: it forged an indomitable soul and an invincible heart. He rose with a clear goal and continued forward, leaving Zhao Qingfeng horrified and Mo Dengxian hopeful.

• Chen Wen opened his eyes and shattered the surrounding pressure, leaving Mo Dengxian stunned that he had reached the end.

Chen Wen broke through to the third level of the Venerable Emperor Realm and prepared to meet Chen Hongmian at the Final Land. When the Final Land opened, only 1,520 disciples qualified, and the announcement that one person had collected 130,000 clusters of Sacred Souls left everyone wondering who it was.

• Chen Wen contacted Chen Hongmian, told her to wait for the Final Land to open, and ended their exchange without discussing the Heavenly Palace Inheritance.
• Chen Wen left the Heaven Concealing Qiankun Array and continued hunting Undying Sacred Souls for three days.
• An Ancient Sound announced the Final Land's opening, and an island-sized landmass descended from the sky.

• Zhao Qingfeng and Mo Dengxian discussed the unknown top collector, while Mo Dengxian privately considered Chen Wudi a possible match for Xuanyuan Beiqiong.

Chen Wen and the other disciples entered the Final Land and learned they must pass the Heaven, Earth, and Man Trials, with only the first hundred allowed to reach the Sacred Stele. As the trials began to open, Chen Wen chose to compete independently alongside Chen Hongmian and Chen Wudi, while Zhao Qingfeng and Mo Dengxian wagered on his rank.

• Zhao Qingfeng and Mo Dengxian bet two Paths of Heavenly Source on whether Chen Wen would place in the top ten.

Chen Wen entered the Human Pass, where he learned that the war puppets could only be overcome by pressing forward rather than trying to destroy them all.

• Ling Qing Palace took notice of Chen Wen’s reckless breakthrough, while Zhao Qingfeng was left gloomy by his success.

Chen Wen recovered after clearing the Human Pass, then entered the Earth Pass and found himself in a world collapsing under three immense powers. With Xian Hongshao's guidance, he realized the disaster came from an imbalance and stepped forward to put his solution into action.

• Chen Wen cleared the first trial, while Mo Dengxian mocked Zhao Qingfeng over the poor progress of Xuanyuan Beiqiong and Long Tianzi.

• Xian Hongshao told Chen Wen that stability mattered most in a world and asked what could bring it about.
• Chen Wen concluded that restoring balance among the three powers could stop the collapse, then stepped forward as the disaster neared him.

Chen Wen faced the collapsing world and used its three destructive forces to break the Earth Fury trial. He emerged alive after the forces collided and restored the world’s stability, leaving Ling Qing Palace to realize his apparent recklessness may have been calculated.

• Chen Wen charged toward the mountain-collapse, tsunami, and Earth Fire forces, using the World Suppressing Cauldron, Void Heavenly Flames, and Heavy Thunder to hold them back.
