As he examined the spoils, he considered repairing the badly damaged Earth Spirit Pearl with the Earth Book method once his cultivation and artifact-refining skills advanced.

• Guan Xiaoyue activated the Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning Divine Sword Grand Array to defend the Sword Pavilion, but Xu Yang arrived and announced that Qi Zhengming and Xiao Buping had been slain.

• Xu Yang examined the Wisdom Sword and the damaged Earth Spirit Pearl, then turned his attention to the Tenth-rank Immortal Materials.

Xu Yang absorbed the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion’s treasures and inheritance into Myriad Dao Academy, then received apologies from nine Holy Land Tribulation Immortals after destroying the Pavilion. He planned to avoid a direct clash while the Academy grew, but remained determined to unify the Northern Region and confront the Upper Realm on his own terms.

• Xu Yang valued the seven Tenth-rank Immortal Materials over three Ninth-rank Immortal Treasures because he intended to forge treasures for himself as his artifact-refining skill advanced.

• Xu Yang accepted their apology and said the Northern Region could accommodate their sects so long as they did not oppose Myriad Dao Academy.
• Xu Yang decided that Myriad Dao Academy needed time to absorb the Sword Pavilion’s foundation before he tried to unify the Northern Region, and he accepted that his ambitions could bring conflict with the Upper Realm.

Several years after Xuanyuan slew a True Immortal, a white-robed youth arrived at Canglang Ruins and learned how Myriad Dao Academy had opened the Endless Sea to exploration. The chapter left him considering the academy’s warships and fleets as he heard the attendant’s advice about choosing a certified voyage.

• At White Cloud Tower, Xu Yang obtained records about the Central Region and found that the Dao Scripture, Martial Scripture, Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture, and Yin Ling Ghost Technique had unknown or incomplete origins.

• You Su You reasoned from the changing Martial Scripture and Dao Scripture that Xu Yang had traveled across worlds and advanced their cultivation methods, and he confirmed her deductions.
• You Su You told Xu Yang that she had become the You Su Clan’s Celestial Fox Maiden after surviving internal rivalries, and that the clan wanted her to choose a husband from an imperial dynasty or ancient clan.
• Xu Yang reassured You Su You that no one could force her to marry, and they agreed to dismiss the current candidates because none qualified as a Dao Child.
• A maid delivered the candidates’ answers to the three examination questions, and You Su You sent her away without reviewing the jade slips.
• You Su You explained that Calamity Realm cultivators in the Divine Continent faced a heavenly tribulation every ten thousand years, then revealed that even True Immortals feared the Dark Turmoil.
• You Su You said the Dark Turmoil had destroyed powerful forces, including Tianyu Ancient City and the You Su Clan, and was believed to be connected to the demon star.

• The auction opened with Profound Yellow Mother Iron, and a youth in the main hall bid one section of Primordial Immortal Vine.

At the Tianyu Assembly, Xu Yang’s Primordial Immortal Vine drew attention, while rival factions competed for rare treasures and the Eastern Emperor Palace bought a lost sword art. After the assembly ended, Xu Yang left Tianyu City, but Cloud Separation Hermit and a slovenly Daoist riding a black dragon ambushed him and demanded his treasures.

As he suppressed the bell’s lingering power, he reflected on how imperial heavy artifacts were forged and resolved to proceed cautiously in the Central Domain Divine Continent.

• You Su You and the women discussed the Tianyu Emperor’s actions, and You Su You suggested he had risked his reputation to kill for treasure and strengthen himself.
