Li Qing recovered the Tiger Subduing Celestial Venerable’s White Tiger Golden Body Manifestation inheritance and spent decades in seclusion in Star River City, refining his skills while raising Qi Yin. After fully comprehending the first volume of the Heaven Refining Scripture, he decided to attempt the Heaven Refining Pavilion’s still-unsolved Thunder Sound Bow task.

• Li Qing sat on Star River City’s wall for six years, studying the golden blueprint and reasoning out the missing materials and Dao resonance needed to refine the Thunder Sound Bow.

At the Heaven Refining Pavilion’s Centennial Assembly, Li Qing listened as the departments argued over wasted materials before the Pavilion Master assigned elders to collect supplies from the Niu Family. Li Qing learned the errand was unpopular because the Niu Family wanted the same Destiny-tainted materials for its plans to create a Destined Immortal Body.

Li Qing and the Heaven Refining Pavilion elders traveled to Divine Ox Valley for the Golden Destiny Spring contest, learning why the Niu Family and other True Spirit Families coveted the spring and its Destiny Rock. After the Niu Family tried to bar them from entering, Li Qing used his Ox Horn Token to secure passage, though their host challenged his ability to compete.

• Li Qing activated his Ox Horn Token, and the Niu Family opened a path into the valley while questioning whether he could compete.

As the factions gathered in Divine Ox Valley for the Golden Destiny Spring contest, the Feng sisters speculated about Li Qing’s inheritance, while the Taotie Family plotted to seize his Grotto-Heaven Treasure.

• Long Yi visited Li Qing, revealed that he had reached the Body Integration Realm, and explained that he had come to Divine Ox Valley as a Dao protector, not a competitor.

Li Qing learned that Long Yi had already reached the Body Integration Realm and would not compete for the Destiny Spring, while his cousin Long Lan would take part. At the Divine Ox Valley tournament, the lots matched Li Qing against Hu Chuan of the Taotie Family, and Li Qing chose to fight rather than withdraw.

• Long Yi told Li Qing that he had no need for the Destiny Spring and warned him not to underestimate Long Lan, who would compete in his place.

• The first-round pairing set Li Qing against Hu Chuan, who offered him a chance to withdraw or stage a brief bout, but Li Qing said Hu should fight seriously.

Li Qing accepted Hu Chuan’s challenge on the Niu Family’s Dao platform, where Hu Chuan tried to seize his Grotto-Heaven Treasure and broken blade. Their battle escalated through treasure armor, spirit treasures, and Taotie techniques, ending with Li Qing’s purple eye beams wounding Hu Chuan as Hu Chuan concealed himself within his Devouring Domain.

• Li Qing agreed to fight Hu Chuan on the Niu Family’s Dao platform despite warnings about the Taotie descendant’s bloodline and abilities.
• After the earlier matches, Li Qing and Hu Chuan entered the Dao platform, where Hu Chuan demanded Li Qing hand over his Grotto-Heaven Treasure and broken blade.
• Hu Chuan used black treasure armor to absorb Li Qing’s force and blood qi, so Li Qing restrained his physical attacks and countered with the Great Sun Golden Flame and Immortal Slaying Sword.
• Hu Chuan blocked Li Qing’s attacks with an ice-blue crystal shield and unleashed the Taotie Yuan Devouring Hand, but Li Qing escaped using Spatial Strange Light.

• Li Qing used Purple Extreme Heavenly Light to break through Hu Chuan’s Devouring Domain, forcing Hu Chuan to reveal his Taotie true body.

Seven finalists entered Destiny Peak to compete for three places at the summit, where the chapter left Long Yi examining the mountain’s dense Destiny Qi Machine.

• Long Yi’s dragon might confirmed that he was the Long Family’s hidden direct descendant, and Abyss Venerable withdrew with Hu Chuan rather than confront him.

• Venerable Manshan opened the secret realm and scattered the seven contestants across Destiny Peak, whose mist blocked spiritual sense and whose summit would admit only the first three.
• Long Yi touched the mountain and wondered whether its dense Destiny Qi Machine had transformed the entire peak into Destiny Rock.

Li Qing climbed Destiny Peak by using a Thunder Roc Egg to resist the Heavenly Venerate pressure and became the first to reach the Golden Destiny Spring. He drank deeply from its increasingly potent golden waters, gaining Destiny Qi and source essence as he pursued the chance to enter the Body Integration Realm.

• Li Qing discovered that Destiny Peak forbade flight and spatial movement, then struggled against the spiritual pressure that intensified with every thousand zhang of ascent.
• Venerable Manshan explained the climbing trial to the observers, while Long Yi revealed that Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate and Carefree Heavenly Venerate had once refused to take him as a disciple.

• Su Yin fought Peng Zhan over the Yin Phoenix True Blood he had taken from her younger sister, Ling'er, and the battle delayed them both.

• Li Qing emerged from behind the restriction and told Peng Zhan and Su Yin that Long Lan and Niu Bahai had taken the other two spots, leaving Peng Zhan stunned.

Li Qing won the Golden Destiny Spring and returned to the Heaven Refining Pavilion, where he prepared for a breakthrough and pursued rare blood essence.

• Su Yin descended with Li Qing and warned him that Peng Zhan might hold a grudge, while Li Qing said he would avoid trouble through secluded cultivation.

Li Qing prepared for his Body Integration Realm breakthrough by gathering precious blood and adjusting himself in seclusion. After obtaining Great Yin True Blood from Li Qiyin and extracting Thunder Roc essence blood from a pure-blooded hatchling, he assembled more than twenty kinds of precious blood and began the Blazing Blood Nirvana Art.

He emerged from Wuji Hall as a Body Integration Realm cultivator, and the Great Heavenly Tribulation descended.

• Li Qing burned more than twenty kinds of treasure blood with the Blazing Blood Nirvana Art, triggering a breakthrough in his magic power and drawing attention from Heaven Refining Pavilion.

While recuperating in Wuji Hall, he uncovered memories revealing that the Demon Venerable had arranged his tribulation and left him a path to heal by cultivating Chaos Law.

• The elder explained the Dao Treasury’s past inheritances and the requirements for viewing it again, increasing Li Qing’s desire to see the heavenly book.

Li Qing studied the first volume of the “Dao Canon,” which revealed three possible future gains and led him to choose the path tied to his own cultivation art. He received the future-completed “Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture” through the True Immortal stage, leaving him with new clues about his future and the Time Law.

• The white-robed old man brought Li Qing to the book pavilion and told him to study the “Dao Canon” alone.
• Li Qing touched the heavenly tome and was drawn into a white space containing three gates of light.
• Li Qing recognized that one gate held a future version of his “Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture,” while the other gates appeared connected to Chaos and a treasure.

At the Dao Trial Assembly, Li Qing watched Lin Mingye fight and recognized a spirit treasure carried by Wan Hong, suspecting she was descended from an old friend.

• Li Qing resolved to replace the Crimson Blazing Heaven Art with the Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture, which he had created independently of the Demon Venerable’s inheritance.
• Carefree Heavenly Venerate appeared and offered to activate the Dao Treasury again if Li Qing promised to reach the Mahayana Realm and succeed him, but Li Qing sensed the burden and refused.

Li Qing learned why Wan Hong had joined the Dao Trial Assembly and, after it ended, revealed that he knew her father, Wan Shengtian, and agreed to visit him. He also invited Miao Yun and Wan Hong’s companion to join Heaven Refining Pavilion as his registered disciples.

• Wan Hong’s Blood Spirit Ruler exhausted her power, and Lin Mingye won their battle before withdrawing from the arena; Dao Palace elders competed to take him as a disciple.
• Li Qing learned that the Myriad Treasures Merchant Alliance had collapsed after being targeted by the Demon Realm, leaving its descendants hunted for rumors of the Myriad Treasures Ancient Realm.
• Lin Mingye chose the gray-robed Venerable as his master, while Wan Hong was not selected because the Dao Palace valued battle endurance as well as talent.
