Ten thousand years after the Emei Sword Fight, Yuzhao and Jun Qing watched reports about the Myriad Dao Academy’s expanding influence and its crackdown on Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Yuzhao wondered what had emboldened the Eastern Ying god to defy the academy, while Jun Qing predicted the major divine systems were about to make a move.

• Yuzhao left the Quiet Room and found Jun Qing lounging on the sofa, watching television and eating spirit snacks.
• Television reports announced the upcoming Myriad Dao Convention, new mecha models, cultivation developments, demon-cleansing preparations, and the academy’s campaign to open the remaining Blessed Lands.
• A report revealed that the academy had designated Susanoo-no-Mikoto an evil god, banned his worship, and dispatched law enforcement to apprehend those involved in his faction’s sacrifices.
• Yuzhao questioned how Susanoo-no-Mikoto could dare oppose the Myriad Dao Academy, given its powerful Dao Masters and his own status as a True Immortal.
• Jun Qing said Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s incense had poisoned his nature and suggested that the suppressed divine systems needed room to breathe.
• Yuzhao remained uneasy about what had emboldened Susanoo-no-Mikoto, while Jun Qing smiled and said a good show was coming.

The Myriad Dao Academy publicly executed Yamato Takeru and other followers of Susanoo, heightening tensions with the great divine systems. At Roaring Firmament Temple, Agni challenged Xu Yang to face him and four allies against his Innate Five Elements Grand Array in three months.

• The Immortal Execution Platform executed Yamato Takeru for slaughtering fishermen and conducting human-sacrifice rituals, then prepared to execute more of Susanoo's followers.

• Agni challenged Xu Yang's Innate Five Elements Grand Array and announced that he and four allies would test it at Fulong Mountain in three months.
• Xu Yang accepted, suspecting that the great divine systems were joining forces to bring five supreme True Immortals and heavy treasures against him.

At Fulong Mountain, five foreign gods entered Xu Yang’s Innate Five Elements Grand Array and restricted its powers, prompting the watching immortals to expect its collapse. Xu Yang answered by summoning three Daoist figures from his own qi, and the chapter ended as the third rode toward the northern gate to join the fight.

• Five gods—Agni, Skanda, the Great Spirit of Izanami, Qing Jun, and Antaeus—gathered outside Fulong Mountain to challenge Xu Yang.
• Xu Yang formed the Innate Five Elements Grand Array and declared that he would seal his mountain if the gods broke it.
• Agni entered the southern gate, and the other four gods entered the remaining gates to fight the array banners and restrict the Five Elements.
• The gods’ coordinated attack weakened the array, leading the watching immortals to believe Xu Yang’s formation was about to fail.
• Xu Yang used the Yin-Yang Fish-Tail Visualization to produce three Daoists from streams of qi; two rode toward the eastern and western gates, while the third headed north.

Xu Yang used the Innate Five Elements Grand Array and his Three Pure Ones incarnations to hold off the five True Gods, then revealed the array had reached the ninth rank and trapped Agni in Ding Jia Divine Fire. Agni admitted defeat, and Xu Yang extinguished the flames, leaving the battle’s remaining gates unresolved.

• Agni recognized Xu Yang’s One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and expected the incarnations to hold the other True Gods without overcoming them.

• The array’s reversal of yin and yang amplified Xu Yang’s True Fire into Ding Jia Divine Fire, revealing that the Innate Five Elements Grand Array had reached the ninth rank.
• Agni was badly burned by the fire and begged Xu Yang to spare him, so Xu Yang withdrew the flames after Agni admitted defeat.

Xu Yang and the Three Pure Ones defeated the invading gods at Fulong Mountain, while Agni and Skanda withdrew to recover. The battle ended, but the livestream then showed a powerful man pouring lightning into the Immortal Execution Platform, which began to transform.

• Agni withdrew after Xu Yang's Ding Jia Divine Fire inflicted a Great Dao Injury, and Qing Jun, Yi Shen, and Antaeus also retreated.
• Skanda remained to fight Jade Purity Daoist, but Xu Yang called in Taiqing and Shangqing, and the Three Pure Ones beat Skanda unconscious and drove him from the formation.
• The gods and immortals fled when Xu Yang invited others to challenge him, and Xu Yang withdrew the Innate Five Elements Grand Array.
• Agni carried Skanda to Surya in the Solar Golden Palace, where Surya failed to heal Agni's injury and prepared for the possibility of Xu Yang's retaliation.
• The livestream resumed with the Immortal Execution Platform, where a powerful man unleashed lightning that made the platform break apart and reform.

Myriad Dao Academy completed Heavenly Punishment, a Ninth-rank Merit Immortal Treasure and its first true True Immortal Mecha, using the accumulated merit and enforcement artifacts of its Demon Suppressing Division and Immortal Execution Platforms. After the Martial Maniac piloted it into the sky, Heavenly Punishment attacked the Solar Golden Palace, confronting Surya and Susanoo.

• Hundreds of millions of Immortal Execution Platforms and law-enforcement treasures sent their lightning-charged implements to the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method, which forged them into Heavenly Punishment.

• Surya urged Susanoo to flee to Takama-ga-hara, but Susanoo refused and insisted Surya had to resist Myriad Dao Academy alongside him.
• Heavenly Punishment shattered the Solar Golden Palace and trapped Surya and Susanoo beneath its lightning-formed blade of righteous law.

Surya defied the Myriad Dao Academy and fought Xu Yang alongside Agni and Susanoo, relying on his Solar Divine Domain to resist the Heavenly Punishment. Xu Yang killed Surya and Susanoo, shattered the domain, and left the wounded Agni surrendering as he approached.

After Xu Yang defeated the Sun God pantheon, he assessed the new traits and treasures that had raised his power to the level of confronting an Earth Immortal in the Blue Star World. Concerned by the Desire Realm’s silence, he tried to investigate the demonic Blackwater World, but what he discovered left him baffled.

• Xu Yang collected Surya’s corpse, severed head, and Solar God Armor as law-enforcement cultivators arrested the Gandharvas and sealed the Solar Golden Palace’s assets.
• Several days later, Xu Yang reviewed how Yin Yang Five Elements had empowered his formation and how Lawful Heavenly Punishment had enabled him to defeat Surya and intimidate the divine pantheons.

• Xu Yang decided to investigate the Desire Realm’s silence by traveling through consciousness to Blackwater World, where his former incarnation Xu Qingyu had died.
• Xu Yang opened his eyes moments after activating the trait and exclaimed in surprise at what he had encountered.

After a century of failed attempts, Xu Yang smuggled his consciousness into the Blackwater World through reincarnation and entered Tongtian Tower as a student.

• Xu Yang found that Spirit Roaming Myriad Worlds had been obstructed from entering the Blackwater World, but its power was slowly finding a way through the blockade.
• After countless failures and severe damage to his Primordial Spirit, Xu Yang finally entered the Blackwater World through reincarnation rather than direct spirit descent.
• Xu Yang joined the graduation ceremony at Tongtian Academy's Campus Nine and entered Tongtian Tower, where his identity and Attribute Panel were activated.

• Xu Yang went to Campus Nine’s trading market to sell his loot and look for weapons suited to solo grinding.

Xu Yang sold his spare equipment at the Ninth Trading Post and bought a Cast Iron Spear before attending a class meeting at Tongtian Academy. He learned about his classmates’ talents and turned down Zhang Yan’s offer to join the Student Council, then left to return to grinding monsters.

After equipping his Cast Iron Spear and improving his combat strength, he plunged into a larger group of Fishermen and continued fighting.

• Xu Yang spent his remaining food to queue four farmers for recruitment, then headed to the western beach to hunt Demonized Fishermen.
• While fighting several Fishermen, Xu Yang reached Level 5 and saw the Plainclothes Special Skill appear on his Attribute Panel.
• Xu Yang realized the skill was his Golden Finger adapting to the world's Data Laws, and he used his new attribute and skill points to increase his stamina and Strike.

Xu Yang used the Taiping Order to transform his Town Hall into a Yellow Turban Camp and discovered that the civilization’s strength came from converting vast numbers of people into soldiers and gaining ever-stacking bonuses. He recruited a frail Yellow Turban Populace member and fed him, leaving the new recruit with enough experience to level up.
