White Jade Capital and the other heavenly palaces attacked the Calamity Realm cultivators outside the War God Temple, overwhelming both the demonic and righteous factions with powerful arrays and divine generals. A white-haired man intervened to cover their retreat, and the surviving fighters withdrew into the War God Temple as their enemies held the battlefield.

• The demonic and righteous cultivators recognized the attackers' Divine Martial array auras, while Deng Yunpeng proposed that both factions join forces against them.
• Deng Yunpeng and the other Old Devils tried to break east through the array, but the four divine generals attacked and the righteous cultivators fled west.
• The Great Spirit Official of Doutian used Tian Shu Thunder's Fury to match Deng Yunpeng, while White Jade Capital's Five-Colored Divine Light gravely wounded him and three other Old Devils.
• The Divine Martial Palace's Primordial Chaos Grand Array crushed the righteous cultivators' defenses, and the Heavenly Demon God Palace struck Ren Baimei down.
• A white-haired man appeared, struck at White Jade Immortal City, and ordered the demonic cultivators to retreat into the War God Temple.
• Boundless Sword Light and a Giant Kun Peng Shadow covered the righteous cultivators' retreat; White Jade Capital's divine light injured the white-haired man before he escaped into the void.

The Calamity Realm experts in the War God Temple debated how to escape after Myriad Dao Academy defeated them, while Yun Mengyao and Zhang Shaobai arrived with conflicting accounts of the outside world. They learned that the Academy was led by the resurrected Great Zhou Tianwu Emperor, Xu Qingyang, and that White Jade Capital was one of his creations.

• The Twelve Divine Generals returned to the heavenly palaces for repairs as cultivators fortified the War God Temple with formations and Daoist altars.
• Leng Aotian proposed that he and the white path’s two Earth Calamity Extreme Realm experts join forces to break out, but Ning Beiming refused because he did not trust the Demon Sect.
• Yun Mengyao and Zhang Shaobai appeared before the Supreme Elders, and Yun Mengyao said she had come under the Dao Master’s decree to persuade them to surrender.
• Zhang Shaobai accused Yun Mengyao of serving Myriad Dao Academy and told the elders that its leader was the resurrected Tianwu Emperor, Xu Qingyang.
• Zhang Shaobai recounted how Xu Qingyang had taken control of the Forty-Eight Regions and the martial sects, then identified White Jade Capital as Myriad Dao Academy’s creation.

Zhang Shaobai revealed the Myriad Dao Academy’s immense strength through its artifact mechas, while Yun Mengyao urged the white-path elders to surrender rather than resist. The elders remained divided, and Yun Mengyao knelt before Jueshen Ni, asking her to lead them in surrender.

• Zhang Shaobai explained the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method and demonstrated a hundred-thousand-artifact mecha, then described the Academy’s Heavenly Palaces, Divine Generals, and ships.
• Ning Beiming and the other elders questioned how the Academy could have produced more than a billion artifacts, and Zhang Shaobai said it had done so in a hundred years by drawing on the resources and people of the Forty-Eight Regions.
• Yun Mengyao defended the Academy’s rule and offered the elders safe surrender, while Zhang Shaobai accused the Academy of betraying the surrendered righteous sects.
• Yun Mengyao warned that the Academy had surrounded the War God Temple and argued that the elders could not withstand its forces or outlast its growing power.
• As the white-path elders hesitated, Yun Mengyao knelt before Jueshen Ni and asked her to surrender to the Academy to end the conflict.

Yun Mengyao’s attempt to persuade the righteous experts to surrender to Xu Yang’s Myriad Dao Academy led Leng Aotian to start a battle in the War God Temple. The righteous faction emerged victorious but Leng Aotian and several demons escaped into the Shattering the Void Stele, while the survivors went to meet Xu Yang.

• Yun Mengyao argued that the righteous experts had more reason to trust Myriad Dao Academy than Leng Aotian, but Leng Aotian attacked her to prevent them from surrendering.
• Ning Beiming, Zhang Canglan, Jueshen Ni, and the other righteous experts fought Leng Aotian and the demons inside the War God Temple while Yun Mengyao escaped to report to Xu Yang.
• Xu Yang declined to enter the battle, reasoning that the righteous experts could withdraw and that he could wait for another opportunity to claim the War God Temple.
• Half a day later, the righteous experts left the temple carrying the demons’ dead, including Deng Yunpeng’s head, while Leng Aotian and several surviving demons escaped into the Shattering the Void Stele.
• Yun Mengyao led the battered righteous experts to meet Xu Yang in the city.

Yun Mengyao led the righteous-path Calamity Realm experts to White Jade Capital, where Xu Yang accepted their surrender and warned them that he would enter the War God Temple alone. After White Jade Capital transformed into Xu Yang’s human form and followed him into the temple, he hoped its void-related mysteries would help him overcome a major limitation of Immortal Spirit Mecha.

• Yun Mengyao guided the Calamity Realm experts through White Jade Capital and explained how Myriad Dao Academy’s resources and formations made it a force capable of waging war on an enormous scale.
• Xu Yang welcomed the righteous-path experts, agreed to let them live freely under the academy’s laws, and offered them the War God’s Catalogue while declining Ning Beiming’s offer of an escort to the War God Temple.
• Ning Beiming warned Xu Yang that Leng Aotian might reach the Heavenly Calamity Realm and trigger disasters through the Shattering the Void Stele, but Xu Yang said he would enter the temple alone.
• After Yun Mengyao led the experts out, White Jade Capital’s artifacts reassembled into Xu Yang’s human form, astonishing the group as he departed for the War God Temple.
• Xu Yang entered the temple, hoping to study its void mysteries and improve the Heavenly Craftsmanship Method so Immortal Spirit Mecha could transform without losing much of their power.

Xu Yang spent two thousand years comprehending the War God’s Catalogue and defeated Leng Aotian’s final attack when the aging demon lord challenged him. After Leng Aotian died, Xu Yang sealed the newly formed spatial black hole, though he suspected it connected to the foreign demons and could only delay what came next.

• Xu Yang found the War God Temple empty, mourned Guangchengzi, and resumed comprehending the Void Tablet as the temple prepared to vanish.
• Leng Aotian emerged from the Shattering the Void Stele, exchanged a probing blow with Xu Yang, and pledged to return for another contest a hundred years later.
• Over the next two thousand years, Leng Aotian repeatedly challenged Xu Yang, while Xu Yang continued refining his understanding of the Five Elements and the Void.
• Leng Aotian returned near the end of his lifespan and fought Ren Weidao and Ning Wuwo before unleashing his Seven Limits at Xu Yang.
• Xu Yang destroyed Leng Aotian’s ultimate attack with the Innate Primordial Chaos Five Elements Light, and Leng Aotian died in despair.
• Xu Yang found a spatial black hole outside the War God Temple, sealed it to delay its effects, and returned to White Jade Immortal City.

Xu Yang met Xiao Miao and Xuanzhen, then learned how Void Spirit Cave Heaven was created and why the Five Elements Immortal Sect sought it. After warning them that the Northern Region’s Great Sacred Lands were gathering for the cave’s opening, he departed, leaving Xiao Miao and Xuanzhen astonished by his indifference to its treasures.

• Xiao Miao escaped Tian Shu Sect pursuers and complained to Elder Zhen that he could not safely attempt to condense a Nascent Soul.
• Xu Yang appeared and asked Xuanzhen to explain the Northern Region and Void Spirit Cave Heaven.
• Xuanzhen described how Void Spirit Lord betrayed the Five Elements Immortal Sect, damaged the Five Directions Merit Pool, and established Void Spirit Cave Heaven with its treasures and Five Elements Immortal Root.
• Xuanzhen revealed that Zhou Tianshu had used him to locate the cave and then destroyed his body and Primordial Spirit, while spreading Five Elements techniques to draw out Void Spirit Lord or his reincarnation.
• Xu Yang offered Xuanzhen gifts after learning that a restriction prevented him from passing on the technique, then warned that the Great Sacred Lands were gathering and a battle would follow the cave’s opening.
• Xu Yang left, while Xiao Miao and Xuanzhen wondered why he seemed unconcerned about the cave’s inheritance.

Xu Yang used a Spirit Transformation tribulation to study the Dao and refine five Spirit Treasures, seeking the strength to escape the Void Spirit Cave Heaven before the Big Dipper Immortal Sect arrived. His artifacts triggered another tribulation, leaving Xuanzhen shocked by his reckless plan.

• Xu Yang judged that waiting for the coming battle over the Five Elements Immortal Mansion was too dangerous and decided to escape before the Big Dipper Immortal Sect acted.
• Twenty years later, Xu Yang revealed himself on Fish Dragon Island by triggering a Spirit Transformation tribulation, which Xiao Miao and Xuanzhen recognized from afar.
• Xu Yang faced the Innate Five Elements Lightning Tribulation and used it to deepen his understanding of the Five Elements, the Void, and creation.
• Xu Yang drew high-grade spiritual materials sent by his three avatars and used the tribulation as a furnace to refine five fourth-tier Spirit Treasures.
• The five treasures triggered a new calamity, and Xuanzhen cried out in shock at Xu Yang's actions.

Xu Yang merged a human tribulation, an immortal artifact tribulation, and a Creation Law Tribulation while forging White Jade Capital, provoking heavenly punishment. He survived the Destruction Divine Lightning by using the city to create a world of its own, then declared his Dao foundation complete.

• Xu Yang refined the Five Elements Pearl into a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact, escalating the tribulation to a Six-Nine Void Returning lightning tribulation.
• Xu Yang manifested the Shattering the Void Stele and continued the All Laws Unite, Heavenly Craftsmanship method, combining three tribulations into Heavenly Punishment Lightning.
• Xu Yang released tens of thousands of artifacts and formed them around the Five Elements Pearl to create White Jade Capital.
• Xu Yang entered White Jade Immortal City with the Shattering the Void Stele, which became its core and helped the city form a world of its own.
• The Eye of Heavenly Punishment unleashed Destruction Divine Lightning, but White Jade Immortal City endured it and the lightning and tribulation clouds vanished.
• Xu Yang announced that the foundation of his Dao was complete.

After White Jade Capital survived Heavenly Punishment and transformed into a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, Xu Yang revealed his plan to lead the people of the Void Spirit Cave Heaven out of the realm. He prepared to depart in three months, while Xuanzhen and Xiao Miao headed for Fish Dragon Island and nearby factions pledged to follow him.

• Xuanzhen urged Xiao Miao to hurry toward White Jade Immortal City, as cultivators throughout the Void Spirit Cave Heaven rushed toward Fish Dragon Island.
• Cultivators near Fish Dragon Island realized it was Azure Jade Mountain and that Li Liuxian was Stone Dharma King, then knelt and begged forgiveness for opposing him.
• Xu Yang announced that a great calamity would arrive in thirty years and invited people to board White Jade Capital, which would leave the realm from Fish Dragon Island in three months.
• Golden Core factions including Azure Crane Mountain and Yunmeng Valley declared their loyalty to Stone Dharma King and chose to follow him out of the realm.
• Xuanzhen told Xiao Miao that Heavenly Punishment had made White Jade Immortal City nearly invincible within the Void Returning realm, then warned him not to imitate its tribulation.
• Xu Yang reflected that White Jade Capital had become a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact and planned to escape the realm before expanding its power elsewhere.

Chu He rebuked his grandson for treating mortals as burdens and reminded his descendants of the Chu Clan’s debt to the Dharma King. Xu Yang then moved Liang Kingdom’s people and Dongting Lake into White Jade Capital, where he established the Myriad Dao Academy and sent an Immortal Palace toward the ninth heaven.

• Chu He recalled how the Dharma King had taught his ancestor the Martial Scripture and warned his descendants to honor that legacy by serving White Jade Immortal City.
• Chu He struck his grandson for dismissing the mortals being transported, then ordered him to return home and reflect in confinement for three years.
• Shui Linglong reported to Xu Yang that Liang Kingdom’s population had been registered and moved into White Jade Capital.
• Xu Yang weighed the dangers of relocating the population, consulted the Exalted Eye of Heaven, and decided to proceed despite finding no trace of Void Spirit Lord.
• Xu Yang used the Earth Deity Divine Seal and White Jade Capital’s power to lift Dongting Lake and Fish Dragon Island into the Immortal City.
• Xu Yang established the Myriad Dao Academy for all citizens, and a Heavenly Palace Immortal Palace flew toward the ninth heaven.

Xu Yang escaped the Void Spirit Cave Heaven, defeated Big Dipper Tianshu, and chose South Sea as the place to establish himself. Meanwhile, the Big Dipper Immortal Sect’s elders searched for their missing cultivator and ordered their people to remain inside the Tian Shu Grand Array until the sect leadership returned.

• Xu Yang emerged beyond the Tian Shu Grand Array and transformed White Jade Capital into human form to avoid attracting powerful cultivators’ attention.
• Big Dipper Tianshu confronted Xu Yang, but Xu Yang’s Great Five Elements Divine Light shattered Tianshu’s defense and swallowed him before Xu Yang fled south.
• Xu Yang decided to settle in South Sea, where he could develop his strength and establish a base amid the frontier wilderness’s loose rule.
• The Big Dipper Immortal Sect’s elders learned that Bei Yuan had vanished after calling for help and suspected a powerful enemy had killed him.
• The old man ordered everyone to remain within the array until the Sect Master and supreme elders returned from Myriad Star Sea in thirty years, and dismissed concerns about Lightning Law King—Shi Jian.

Three months later, Li Xuanyuan arrived at Spirit Treasure Island in the South Sea to challenge Spirit Treasure Venerable Chen Yanqi, after killing the Crimson Flame Three Devils and accusing them of serving the island. As onlookers weighed the island’s defenses and Li Xuanyuan’s strength, he appeared above them and called for the battle to begin.

• Cultivators gathered outside Spirit Treasure Island and discussed its powerful Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Grand Array and the strength of its master, Chen Yanqi.
• The crowd recounted how Li Xuanyuan had killed the Crimson Flame Three Devils with a single sword after they tried to rob him, then challenged Chen Yanqi over their alleged ties to the island.
• Void Returning Great Cultivators observed the island and debated Li Xuanyuan’s unknown origins, while Fairy Lu said Bright Moon Chamber of Commerce would not intervene.
• The observers concluded that few South Sea factions would risk provoking a powerful, unaffiliated sword cultivator, and waited to see whether Chen Yanqi could withstand him.
• Li Xuanyuan arrived above Spirit Treasure Island, recited a poem about sharpening his sword and righting wrongs, and called out for Chen Yanqi to come.

Xu Yang entered Spirit Treasure Island’s Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Grand Array and killed Chen Yanqi with a single sword strike, then broke the formation and took control of the island. He declared that Spirit Treasure Island would become Myriad Sword Pavilion, leaving its inhabitants to surrender or face death.

• Chen Yanqi activated the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Grand Array and invited Xu Yang into it after Xu Yang challenged him to leave the formation.
• Xu Yang entered the fire prison, saw through the array with his Array Dao attainments, and located Chen Yanqi at its eye.
• Chen Yanqi damaged the Fire Essence Earth Vein to raise the array to sixth-tier strength, but Xu Yang’s Great White Radiance pierced through the flames and killed him and his Primordial Spirit.
• The Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Grand Array collapsed, and Xu Yang used a sword-thread formation to restrain the Void Returning cultivators and force the island’s people to choose between surrender and death.
• Xu Yang announced that Spirit Treasure Island would become Myriad Sword Pavilion, and the resulting clash ended with the island under his control as witnesses fled in shock.

Xu Yang defeated Chen Yanqi and preserved Spirit Treasure Island’s Fire Essence Earth Vein, then gathered the island’s wealth and extensive collection of cultivation methods. The chapter leaves Xu Yang with the resources and knowledge to strengthen White Jade Capital and continue developing his own cultivation path.

• Fairy Lu and the other cultivators departed after recognizing that Xu Yang had killed Chen Yanqi and ended the battle.
• Xu Yang retrieved Chen Yanqi’s corpse from the magma, collected his treasures, and erased the imprints on his storage items.
• Xu Yang inventoried Spirit Treasure Island’s wealth, including billions of spirit stones, materials, magical artifacts, and four Low-Grade Immortal Artifacts.
• Xu Yang found that Spirit Treasure Island’s materials and treasures could upgrade White Jade Capital and support the construction of several more Spirit Treasure Mechas.
• Xu Yang acquired Chen Yanqi’s extensive collection of cultivation methods and planned to use them to broaden his understanding and forge his own cultivation fruition.

Xu Yang examined Chen Yanqi’s inheritance and discovered that the Great Sun Immortal Sect had secretly backed Spirit Treasure Island. After Lu Mingyu visited to discuss trade, Xu Yang prepared to establish himself in the South Sea while anticipating the Great Sun Immortal Sect’s response.

• Xu Yang studied Chen Yanqi’s Nine Dragon True Elixir and learned it was derived from the Great Sun Immortal Sect’s Great Sun Burning Heaven Immortal Art.
• Three days after the battle, Lu Mingyu visited Spirit Treasure Island and negotiated continued trade with Xu Yang, focusing on sword artifacts and materials.
• Lu Mingyu left uncertain about Xu Yang’s intentions and worried that the Great Sun Immortal Sect would retaliate for Chen Yanqi’s death and the loss of its South Sea channel.
• Xu Yang planned to yield part of the artifact market to gain stability among South Sea factions while keeping the White Jade Capital concealed.
• Xu Yang judged that the Great Sun Immortal Sect would likely send a replacement pawn rather than risk a powerful cultivator over Spirit Treasure Island’s profits.

At the East Lai Assembly, Bright Moon Pavilion auctioned a renowned sword and the Overlord's Limitless Body, drawing a fierce contest between Profound Yin Island and South Sea Sect. Profound Yin Island won the cultivation method, and the auction moved on to the All-Heaven Divine Thunder Method.

• Lu Mingyu auctioned the Xuanyuan Spirit Sword, and the guest in Room Number Seventy-Three won it for 180 million spirit stones and refined Geng Gold Iron.
• Lu Mingyu presented the Overlord's Limitless Body, one volume of the War God's Catalogue, and Old Ghost Jiang of Profound Yin Island bid 260 million spirit stones while invoking his sect's status.
• Lu Mingyu rebuked Old Ghost Jiang for pressuring bidders, but he raised his offer and Venerable Cangwu of South Sea Sect entered the contest.
• Old Ghost Jiang and Venerable Cangwu drove the price to 520 million spirit stones as the crowd discussed Profound Yin Island's plan to combine the method with its corpse-refining art.
• South Sea Sect stopped bidding, and Lu Mingyu awarded the Overlord's Limitless Body to Profound Yin Island before introducing the All-Heaven Divine Thunder Method.

Xu Yang’s twenty-eight cultivation techniques and rare treasures fueled fierce bidding at the East Lai Assembly, while his overwhelming wealth drew suspicion from the South Sea’s major powers. After the auction, the Bright Moon Pavilion’s Grand Elder judged that Xu Yang was no Mahayana cultivator and decided to stay out of the conflict, letting Xuan Yin Island test him.

• Venerable Cangwu and Old Ghost Jiang fought over the Void Returning Lightning Law until Cangwu won it for 530 million spirit stones.
• The auction presented a succession of unprecedented cultivation techniques and arts, which the crowd suspected had all come from one person.

• After the assembly ended, Xu Yang collected the proceeds from his twenty-eight cultivation techniques and departed East Lai Island.
• Lu Mingyu discussed Xu Yang with the Bright Moon Pavilion’s Grand Elder, who could not see through his foundation but concluded he lacked Mahayana cultivation.
• The Grand Elder ordered the Bright Moon Pavilion to avoid the South Sea dispute and let Xuan Yin Island test Xu Yang.

Xu Yang tested his Shattering War God mecha against Old Ghost Jiang beyond East Lai Island, using the Dao of the Void to destroy his demonic corpse, break the Profound Yin Ghost Realm, and badly wound him before escaping. Back at Spirit Treasure Island, Xu Yang repaired the damaged mecha and judged that he needed to strengthen it before taking on stronger foes.

• Xu Yang left East Lai Island alone, drawing the attention of factions who suspected his identity and waited for a chance to attack.
• Old Ghost Jiang trapped Xu Yang in a Profound Yin Ghost Realm and sent a Profound Yin Demonic Corpse after him, but Xu Yang shattered it with a void-powered punch.
• Old Ghost Jiang attacked Xu Yang with the Ghost Realm’s power, and Xu Yang overloaded the Shattering War God mecha to break the formation and destroy the old man’s right arm.
• Xu Yang escaped through the void as Li Cangwu pursued the wounded Old Ghost Jiang, leaving onlookers to weigh the threat posed by Xu Yang’s Dao of the Void.
• At Spirit Treasure Island, Xu Yang repaired the damaged mecha with a Void Spirit Crystal and concluded that it could barely survive against Integration Stage opponents before he reforged it.

Xu Yang refined the Shattering the Void Stele into a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact and received a visit from Venerable Cangwu, who asked him to forge a flying sword. Xu Yang proposed the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords and said he could finish them in three months.

• Xu Yang completed the Shattering the Void Stele imitation, advancing it to Low-Grade Immortal Artifact rank, though it lacked the genuine stele’s core mysteries.
• Gui Sanqian told Xu Yang that a visitor had presented a calling card, and Xu Yang went outside Spirit Treasure Island to welcome Venerable Cangwu.
• Li Cangwu recalled how Xu Yang had broken the Nine-Nine Fire Dragon Grand Array and explained that he wanted Xu Yang to forge a flying sword from Star King Iron and other materials.
• Xu Yang agreed to refine the materials and proposed the sixth-tier Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, Heaven Strike and Thunderflame, suited to Li Cangwu’s Heavenly Sword Lightning cultivation.
• Li Cangwu entrusted the materials to Xu Yang and asked for the swords within a hundred years, but Xu Yang said he could complete them in three months.
