He agreed to repair the seal and planned to seek the Tongtian Secret Realm and other paths to Earth Immortal fruition, while concluding that the Profound Yellow Realm held the key to breaking the deadlock.

• Xu Yang questioned the Jade Emperor and the Four Extreme Emperor Lords about the Primordial Heavenly Demon, which they had only heard named by Taihuang.
• The Jade Emperor recounted how demons and monsters poisoned Taihuang in the Tongtian Secret Realm seventy thousand years earlier, prompting him to seal himself inside the Profound Yellow Treasure Pagoda.
• The North Pole Emperor Lord explained that the demonic venom had leaked from the seal, inherited Taihuang's abilities, and was especially dangerous to those who used the Ancient Heavenly Court's cultivation methods.
• Xu Yang agreed to save Taihuang, said he would repair the pagoda and formations, and planned to enter the Tongtian Secret Realm after advancing further.
• Back in the present world, Xu Yang considered the threats posed by the Primordial Heavenly Demon and the Desire Realm, then decided to pursue multiple paths and seek an opportunity in the Profound Yellow Realm.

Xu Yang spent a century raising the Ming Xiao Daoists into a powerful third-rank troop and gathered his heroes to prepare for war. As his Safety Period ended, multiple Demon Abyss Lords launched a coordinated attack, sealing his territory and disrupting its spiritual energy.

• Xu Yang used his resources to raise the Ming Xiao Daoists to the third rank, equip them with Epic gear, and unlock the True Person tier.
• Xu Yang gathered more than a hundred heroes, including Hua Mulan, Lu Qiling, Gongshu Ling, Ao Chi, and over forty Legendary Heroes, to plan for the coming war.

Xu Yang examined the Demon Abyss coalition and discovered it had brought two Mythological Heroes and the terrifying Demonic Spirit Hero Shi Pi to kill him. Rather than retreat, he ascended the altar in Huang Tian City and performed a rite that transformed his Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian into the Universal Grand Ceremony of the Heavens.

• The Demon Abyss coalition advanced on Huang Tian City, vowing to kill Xu Yang with the help of Darkness Without Borders and a Demonic Spirit bestowed by the Black Heaven Great Demon God.
• Xu Yang used the Exalted Eye of Heaven to inspect the enemy camp and identified Jiu Pan Po and Shang Yin Yang as powerful Mythological Heroes equipped with Demonic Spirit items.
• Xu Yang turned his gaze toward Shi Pi, a Demonic Spirit Hero, but Shi Pi detected the observation and shattered the incomplete information, forcing Xu Yang to close his Heavenly Eye.
• Xu Yang recognized the threat but left the hall and climbed the Nine Ritual High Altar at Taiping Palace to begin a Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian.
• The rite drew upon the Yellow Heaven Daoist Sanctuary, Ming Xiao Daoists, Peaceful Yellow Heaven Guard, and the territory’s inhabitants, elevating Xu Yang’s spell into the Universal Grand Ceremony of the Heavens.

The Demon Abyss lords debated whether to storm Huang Tian Great City or wait for Old Man Shi Pi’s demonic seal to weaken its defenses, but Xu Yang’s Universal Grand Ceremony of the Heavens shattered the seal and reversed the battlefield. Shipi launched an attack to stop the ceremony, and the chapter ended as a thunder formation appeared over the city.

• Dugu Qiu asked Old Man Shi Pi to settle the Demon Abyss lords’ argument, and Shi Pi exposed and dismissed Xu Yang’s attempt to spy on them.
• Old Man Shi Pi ordered the army to encircle Huang Tian Great City and wait for his Great Twelve Heavens Secret Demon Great Law to reach completion.
• Xu Yang used Universal Grand Ceremony of the Heavens to destroy the allied spells, weaken Shi Pi’s law, release the demonic seal, and begin purifying the territory.
• Jiu Pan Po and Shang Yinyang were injured by the backlash, while Shi Pi came under the pressure of the Exalted Eye of Heaven.
• Shipi summoned a hundred thousand Asura Demonic Soldiers and led them toward the Exalted Eye, but the eye vanished as thunderclouds and a thunder formation rose over Huang Tian Great City.

The Demonic Abyss armies launched a full assault on Huang Tian Great City, but the sealed battlefield and the defenders’ powerful formations turned the fight into a desperate struggle. As Ao Chi routed Shang Yinyang’s forces and the Thunder Ancestor struck Shi Pi with a devastating whip, Jiu Pan Po was caught in the remaining lightning.

• Shi Pi and Jiu Pan Po led their armies toward Huang Tian Great City while Shang Yinyang sent his ghost troops around the front to attack the city and break the formation.
• Dugu Qiu and the other top-ranked lords found their escape abilities blocked by the territory seal, then led their forces into battle as the other lords followed.
• A breached city moat flooded Shang Yinyang’s army, and Ao Chi attacked with the Chi Dragon Dao Soldiers, badly damaging his Yin Yang Demonic Soldiers.
• Hua Mulan and the city defenders fought off assaults at the walls, while Shi Pi’s army clashed with the thunderclouds and the attackers pressed all four sides of the city.

• The whip’s remaining force hit Jiu Pan Po as she prepared a demonic art.

Xu Yang and the Ming Xiao forces defeated the Demon Abyss armies outside Huang Tian City, capturing Shi Pi and Jiu Pan Po and killing several enemy heroes and lords. The battle ended in a costly victory, and Xu Yang received major rewards and spoils.

• Jiu Pan Po's true body was destroyed by the Thunder Ancestor's Golden Whip, and her Nine-Child Mother Demon fled as the Naked Cult Followers scattered.
• Old Man Shi Pi unleashed the Asura Seal and the Secret Demonic Great Law, but Xu Yang immobilized him with Five-Colored Divine Light, captured him, and seized the seal.
• Xu Yang pursued Jiu Pan Po while the Ming Xiao Daoists reinforced the other fronts; Shi Pi's capture shattered the enemy's morale.

• Dugu Qiu used the Great Black Heaven Demon Statue and fled as the battle ended in a costly victory for Xu Yang's side.
• Xu Yang received experience, prestige, special spoils, and upgrade notifications for his Yellow Turban General, Yellow Turban Spell Master, and Ming Xiao Daoists.

After the battle against the Myriad Demon Abyss, Xu Yang examined the spoils and claimed an Immortal Spirit mount and weapon before recruiting the Immortal Spirit Hero Jin Qiaojue. Jin Qiaojue began delivering the souls of the fallen, and his abilities offered a chance to revive allies and turn defeated enemies into Ksitigarbha Disciples.

• The battle left heavy casualties, but the surviving Ming Xiao Daoists and other troops gained ranks, while Xu Yang’s heroes grew stronger and the army collected abundant spoils.
• Xu Yang received the Immortal Spirit mount Ink Jade Kirin and the Guardian Golden Whip, which he equipped for himself.
• Xu Yang used an Immortal Spirit Hero Contract and recruited Jin Qiaojue, who appeared as a young monk.
• Jin Qiaojue asked Xu Yang to let him deliver the departed souls, then sat down to chant the Reincarnation and Rebirth Mantra.
• Xu Yang inspected Jin Qiaojue’s abilities, including his power to revive fallen allies, convert enemy dead into Ksitigarbha Disciples, and establish Ksitigarbha Netherworld Palace.

Xu Yang welcomed Ksitigarbha, an ancient Immortal Buddha who had remained in the Profound Yellow Realm to fight Mara and was revived as a hero by the Tongtian Tower. After Ksitigarbha explained what he knew about the Tower and the Myriad Demon Abyss, Xu Yang asked him to purify captured demons.

• Ksitigarbha revived some of the fallen heroes and troops from the battle, and several hundred enemy souls became his Ksitigarbha Disciples.
• Xu Yang questioned Ksitigarbha at Taiping Palace, where the Bodhisattva said he had stayed behind to fight Mara, died, and been guided to the Tongtian Tower as a hero.
• Ksitigarbha said he did not know the Tower’s origin but suspected it was tied to the conflict between Qiong Gao Heavenly Emperor and Mara, and he offered to help Xu Yang save Profound Yellow.
• Xu Yang asked Ksitigarbha to purify Shi Pi and then presented Jiu Pan Po, whom Ksitigarbha agreed to handle as well.

After the Myriad Dao Convention ended, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion Lord’s victory over the Demon Abyss drove lords across the ranks to rush into the Pavilion and exchange for Myriad Dao Points. Lin Dong finally reached the counter and invested his fortune, splitting fifty million points between flexible access and a one-hundred-year deposit.

• Lords at the convention discussed the Demon Abyss’s crushing defeat and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion Lord’s rise to the top of the third-rank Prestige Ranking.
• Lords across the first-, second-, and third-floor districts crowded the Myriad Treasures Pavilion as Myriad Dao Points rapidly increased in value.
• Lin Dong waited for half a month in the second-floor district before reaching a transaction counter.
• A Pavilion employee explained the Demand Exchange and Time Deposit Exchange options, including their fees, terms, and discounts.
• Lin Dong exchanged his resources and items for fifty million Myriad Dao Points, splitting them evenly between Demand Exchange and a one-hundred-year deposit.

A hundred years later, Lin Dong had risen to the third rank by investing in Myriad Dao Points amid the escalating war between Tongtian Tower and Myriad Demon Abyss. Xu Yang claimed both third-rank rankings and chose the authority to create Self-Built Civilization Technology, leaving him ready to develop exclusive technology for his territory.

• Lin Dong analyzed the market and concluded that Myriad Dao Points would fluctuate around Xu Yang’s upcoming advancement, while recalling how speculation had helped commoner Lords survive the growing war.
• The chapter described how competition between Tongtian Tower and Myriad Demon Abyss drove Lords across many ranks into costly battles and made investment in Myriad Dao Points a means of survival.
• Xu Yang ranked first on both third-rank rankings and received the rewards for achieving six crowns and three kings.
• Xu Yang chose balanced attribute and territory enhancements rather than extreme specialization.
• Xu Yang selected Continuing the Past and Forging the Future, gaining authority to create exclusive Civilization Technology through creation, fusion, or modification.

Xu Yang used his Self-Built Authority to re-create Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian as Yellow Heaven Grand Ceremony technology, greatly strengthening his territory’s rituals and his own limit-breaking potential. He considered developing more technologies and hoped the Profound Yellow Realm’s advances could eventually improve his power across worlds.

• Xu Yang reviewed the costs and methods of civilization technology development, then decided to use his Self-Built Authority to re-create skills that could not be developed through the Ming Xiao Daoists’ Cultivation Hundred Arts.
• Xu Yang spent one billion Tongtian Coins, one billion Experience Points, one hundred million Prestige Points, and ten million spirit stones to re-create Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian as Yellow Heaven Grand Ceremony.
• Yellow Heaven Grand Ceremony gave Yellow Turban spellcasting troop types the Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian skill and increased the ritual’s effects while reducing its setup costs.
• Xu Yang combined the new technology with the Universal Grand Ceremony of the Heavens and calculated that his limit-breaking cap could reach around 2,000 points, far exceeding that of most powerful heroes.
• Xu Yang considered developing more technologies, including the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method, and hoped the Profound Yellow Realm could help him create a Ninth-rank method and strengthen his true self across worlds.

Ten thousand years after his rise, Lin Dong faced pressure from his descendants to sell their Myriad Dao Points before the Myriad Dao Convention. A Scholar warned that the falling market might be a deliberate trap by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and Lin Dong chose to gamble again as the convention was postponed and panic spread.

• Lin Dong's descendants urged him to sell their Myriad Dao Points, arguing that the pavilion's master had stalled at the Sixth-rank and faced enemies on every side.
• The Scholar proposed that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had engineered the falling prices to buy back points, lure the Demon Abyss into war, and restore confidence through victory.
• Lin Dong discovered that some descendants had already sold points without his permission and struck down those responsible.
• After learning how much capital the clan still had, Lin Dong declared that he would gamble once more.
• The Tongtian Tower announced that the Myriad Dao Convention had been postponed for three thousand years, intensifying the market panic.

Dantai Qin's attempt to secure a settlement with Myriad Treasures Pavilion failed, and Zhou Shuwen joined the major factions in triggering a run on Myriad Dao Points. After months of panic and collapsing prices, Lin Dong chose to gamble on a thousand-year time deposit, only to discover the exchange price had just changed.

• Zhang Yan rejected Dantai Qin's requests for Myriad Treasures Pavilion to reconcile with Tongtian Immortal Palace and align its prices with other factions.
• Dantai Qin met Zhou Shuwen and Zhou Tianqi, and Zhou Shuwen ordered Zhou Tianqi to dump their Myriad Dao Points to crush the market.
• As Myriad Dao Points and the Pavilion Master's prestige plunged, Zhang Yan expanded exchange access while the crowd continued cashing out.
• Lin Dong watched the sell-off for months as Myriad Treasures Pavilion's goods were bought out and Myriad Dao Points collapsed.
• Lin Dong went to exchange everything for a thousand-year time deposit, but the clerk warned him that the price had changed.

Several years after a panic-driven selloff, Myriad Treasures Pavilion and Myriad Dao Points began to recover as gamblers bought the dip, frustrating the factions that had tried to crush the market. In the Territory World, Gongshu Ling completed the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method and became a Tier Seven Immortal Spirit, unveiling her powerful mecha, Gongshu Overlord.

• Myriad Dao Points slowly rebounded as Myriad Treasures Pavilion continued selling goods and buyers queued to invest, while major factions struggled to keep suppressing the market.
• Gamblers mocked those who had sold in panic and persuaded some to join the growing queue, further lifting prices.
• Zhou Shuwen crushed his teacup in anger, while Dantai Qin said they had done all they could and left the outcome to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion Master and the Demon Abyss.
• In Taiping Palace, Gongshu Ling used the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method to merge spiritual lights and transform a black-stone construct into a towering humanoid mecha.
• The Tongtian Tower announced Gongshu Ling’s advancement to Tier Seven and Immortal Spirit, and Xu Yang inspected her new attributes and skills, including her exclusive Gongshu Overlord mecha.

Gongshu Ling advanced from a Third-rank Legend to a Seventh-rank Immortal Spirit through Xu Yang’s cultivation and the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method. The chapter detailed Xu Yang’s Sixth-rank Myriad Dao Academy civilization and the coming Demon Abyss war, leaving him three thousand years to raise the civilization to the Seventh rank and prepare its defenses.

• Gongshu Ling became Xu Yang’s third Immortal Spirit Hero after Ksitigarbha and Shi Pi, surpassing his other heroes through years of focused cultivation.
• Xu Yang’s heroes were organized into four groups: famous generals and ministers, mystical-art specialists, Ksitigarbha’s Netherworld Palace, and Gongshu Ling’s support specialists.
• Xu Yang developed the Sixth-rank Myriad Dao Academy from his self-built authorities, buildings, heroes, troop types, and technologies.
• Xu Yang’s civilization gained the Sixth-rank wonders White Jade Capital and Yinshan Prefecture, which were enormous Immortal Spirit Mechas.

• Xu Yang had three thousand years to advance the Myriad Dao Academy to the Seventh rank and build the wonders, troops, and technologies needed to withstand the Demon Abyss.

Xu Yang explained how he had deliberately helped crash the Myriad Dao Points market to acquire resources for his Seventh-rank civilization, while relying on research to advance its technology. Three thousand years later, his territory claimed the top Seventh-rank rankings, and the Demon Abyss began a deathmatch war against him.

• Xu Yang explained that Tongtian Coins could buy technological advancement directly, but independent research offered a slower, more cost-effective path to progress.
• Xu Yang admitted that his Myriad Treasures Pavilion had helped collapse the Myriad Dao Points market so he could gather resources for Seventh-rank development, despite the losses suffered by other lords.
• Three thousand years later, Lin Dong watched crowds gather as the rankings reshuffled and people argued over whether Xu Yang could withstand the Demon Abyss.
• Xu Yang's territory took first place on the Seventh-rank Rookie and Prestige Rankings as the Safety Period ended.
• Di Tian and other Myriad Demon Abyss lords launched a coordinated attack, and Di Tian's deathmatch order sealed both sides' realms and connected their territories for war.

Xu Yang inspected the Demon Abyss forces surrounding his territory and found that the Asuras were preparing to summon incarnations of their Great Asura Kings. At White Tiger City, Ksitigarbha and Diting shattered a demonic spying attempt, then Ksitigarbha prepared to lead an army against the Great Desire-Color Heaven Demon.

• Xu Yang organized his heroes across the Four Symbols Cities and their Seven Mansions, leaving the center of his territory under his own protection.
• Xu Yang used the Exalted Eye of Heaven to pierce the eastern boundary and saw the Blood Sea Asuras preparing four colossi for sacrifices that could summon Great Asura King incarnations.
• The Vimachitra Colossus detected Xu Yang's surveillance, and the Demon Abyss lords ordered the sacrifices accelerated.
• Ksitigarbha and Diting combined their abilities with Xu Yang's Exalted Eye of Heaven to destroy black-lotus demons spying on White Tiger City.
• Ksitigarbha ordered Shi Pi and the Golden-Robed Attendant to lead the army against the Great Desire-Color Heaven Demon.

Shi Pi King and the Guardian Asura Host stormed the Western Demonic Domain, while Ksitigarbha arrived to suppress a demon god avatar and battle another. Across the other fronts, Gongshu Ling reinforced Azure Dragon City’s defenses as seven colossal shadows began appearing in the north.

• Shi Pi King led a million Guardian Asuras into the Western Demonic Domain and broke through a Demonic City’s defenses, forcing its commander to flee.
• Shi Pi King captured three Demonic Cities before Great Black Buddha Mother descended and immobilized him with its reversed Six-Syllable Mantra.
• Ksitigarbha arrived, captured Great Black Buddha Mother in Buddha’s Palm Kingdom, and confronted a second demon god attacking him.
