Xu Yang and Meng Fuyao broke into the ruins of the Xuantian Sect, where Xu Yang used Five-Colored Divine Light to overcome the formations and claim treasures and inheritances from its eight outer peaks.

As the Nine Corpse Decomposers began their campaign against the Nether Spring Demon Domain, Xu Yang proposed holding an Ascension Assembly at White Dragon Ridge.

He prepared to face the tower’s challenges with True Lord Nan Yun and Cang Lan, hoping to earn Primordial Spirit Liquid before his limited talent forced him to serve at the Yinshan Prefecture.

After two thousand years in the Daoist Magic World, Xu Yang mourned old friends lost to age and cultivation failures while reviewing the Myriad Dao Academy’s achievements and the looming danger of the Void Spirit Cave Heaven. Unable to find a way to survive the coming struggle through cultivation or technology, he used his Spirit Transformation power to pass the Dream Butterfly trait to his Daoist Magic clone and began a dream within a dream.

• Xu Yang reflected on Chu Nan’s failed Spirit Transformation breakthrough, his transformation into a Ghost God, and the Ghost-God Mecha Xu Yang gave him for his work in Yinshan Prefecture.
