Li Qing refined his physical body with Myriad Beast Blood Soil and Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire while preparing for the Demon Venerable's Will to revive. When a Demon Realm Progenitor opened a rift above Tianyuan Continent, Lingxu Zi sealed it, and Li Qing decided to put his plans into action rather than wait passively.

• Li Qing used Myriad Beast Blood Soil and his Golden Saint Treasure Body inheritance to refine his flesh with six Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, greatly strengthening his body at the cost of depleting his blood and qi.
• More than thirty years passed as Demon Realm Rifts appeared across the Spirit Realm, and seven years later a Demon Realm Progenitor's palm struck toward Tianyuan Continent.
• An ancient ancestor of the Golden Crow Race shattered the palm, but stopped short of entering the rift after being warned that a Demon Realm Progenitor awaited him.

After seven years of brutal war, Li Qing had become a feared Human Race powerhouse while uncovering signs that Demon Realm Progenitors were pursuing an opportunity tied to the Immortal Dao and possibly the Demon Venerable. He accepted a mission to escort the Heavenly Dog Race and arrived at its ruined Holy City, where he swiftly killed the Ancient Devils attacking it.

• Li Qing’s battles over seven years established his reputation after he slew more than two hundred Body Integration Realm Ancient Devils and survived a direct threat from a Demon Realm Saint Ancestor.
• Wan Hong reported that she and her Senior Sister had killed the Ancient Devils responsible for destroying a mortal kingdom, and Li Qing comforted her.
• Li Qing reflected on clues that Demon Realm Progenitors were seeking an unparalleled opportunity connected to the Immortal Dao and possibly the Demon Venerable.

A pure-blooded Qiongqi emerged and battled Li Qing, then unleashed its Domain of Calamity.

• Li Qing killed every Ancient Devil in the Heavenly Dog Race's Holy City, and the old patriarch confirmed the race's intention to submit to the human race.
• The old patriarch explained that a Chaos Demonic Treasure had been trapped beneath the Profound Sky Supreme Wood Spirit Coffin after an Ancient Devil attacked it.
• Li Qing lifted the coffin with his four Heaven-reaching Killing Swords and took the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought Bead, provoking its owner inside the coffin.
• A pure-blooded Qiongqi emerged from the coffin and attacked Li Qing, identifying itself as a true spirit cultivating the Law of Calamity.
• Li Qing fought the Qiongqi with his killing swords, sword formation, and Kunpeng Daoist Method, but struggled against its strength and rapid healing.
• The Qiongqi expanded its Domain of Calamity, transforming the surrounding world as the battle continued.

Li Qing endured Qiongqi’s Domain of Calamity, then used his Chaos Green Lotus Manifestation to forge the Immortal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations and defeat the True Spirit. After extracting Qiongqi’s inheritance and memories, he learned the Demon Realm’s invasion might be tied to a Chaos Immortal Treasure and prepared to leave with the Heavenly Dog Race.

• Qiongqi trapped Li Qing in its Domain of Calamity and battered him with meteors, magma, floods, and blade-like winds.
• Li Qing summoned the Chaos Green Lotus Manifestation and used the disasters to cultivate the Immortal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations, shattering Qiongqi’s domain.

After years of cultivation amid the worsening war, Li Qing learned that four Demon Realm passages were nearing merger into a Two Realms Battlefield and prepared to refine a Heavenly Secret Gu before Long Yi’s journey to the Ancient Dragon Realm. He obtained most of the rare materials through the Dao Palace, but still needed a Star Armor Beetle corpse and Luoyuan Grass Root.

• Li Qing spent thirteen years cultivating his divine soul and comprehending the Qiongqi Treasure Arts while the war devastated races across the Tianyuan Continent.
• Li Qing had Spirit Venerable Yu Ji refine the Qiongqi’s blood essence into True Spirit Blood Pills for restoring his vitality and healing injuries.
• After learning that four Two Realms Passages were about to merge, Li Qing received word that Long Yi would soon become Long Family head and travel to the Ancient Dragon Realm.
• Li Qing left seclusion to gather materials for refining a Heavenly Secret Gu, which Spirit Venerable Yu Ji recommended to conceal him from heavenly calculations.
• The Dao Palace obtained most of Li Qing’s requested materials in exchange for his Battle Merit, but the Star Armor Beetle corpse remained with an unwilling elder and the Luoyuan Grass Root might be at Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate’s grotto-heaven.

Li Qing obtained the Star Armor Beetle corpses and Luoyuan Grass Root needed to refine the Heavenly Secret Gu, then successfully created one that revived a dead beetle and concealed his heavenly secrets. He prepared to travel to the Ancient Dragon Realm with greater protection, while Spirit Venerable Yu Ji urged him to test the Gu’s full abilities.

• Li Qing traded Elder Mo Hai one Golden Silk Silkworm and a swarm of Fire Jade Bees for two Thousand-Year Star Armor Beetle corpses.

• Li Qing traveled to a concealed spot in human territory and began refining the Heavenly Secret Gu using a Spirit-Entangling Tree Frog and rare materials.
• After the frog died, a Star Armor Beetle covered in seven-colored spots crawled from its mouth, and Li Qing bound the revived beetle to himself as the Heavenly Secret Gu.
• Li Qing activated the Gu and found that it concealed his aura and heavenly secrets; Spirit Venerable Yu Ji urged him to test whether it could devour heavenly secrets completely.

Li Qing tested the Heavenly Secret Gu and learned it could alter fate once before dying, then traveled with Long Yi to the Ancient Dragon Realm. They arrived and prepared to meet the True Dragon Clan and enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, while Li Qing also intended to seek the Mahayana Opportunity recorded by Myriad Treasures Ancestor.

• Li Qing and Long Yi entered the Ancient Dragon Realm and flew toward the True Dragon Clan’s divine mountain, where two enormous eyes opened and fixed their gaze on them.

Long Yi challenged the Ancient Dragon Realm’s Dragon Gate so Li Qing could enter the Dragon Transformation Pool without using the Azure Dragon Sacred Token. He passed the sixth trial and defeated a true dragon in the seventh, drawing the attention of powerful dragons as he continued the challenge.

• The Mountain Rock Giant Dragon refused to let Li Qing enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, so Long Yi chose to challenge the Dragon Gate instead.

• Several true dragons observed Long Yi’s progress, and the Green Jade Spirit Dragon said it wanted to test his strength if he passed all nine trials.

Long Yi breached the ninth Heavenly Gate after defeating its replicas, then endured the Primal Dragon Emperor’s overwhelming trial and passed through a second awakening of his Golden Dragon Bloodline. He emerged gravely wounded, and Li Qing stopped the Jade Spirit Dragon from challenging him while he recovered.

• Long Yi used the Nine Dragon Separation Fire Formation to destroy nine replicas of himself and opened the ninth Heavenly Gate.

• Li Qing stopped the Jade Spirit Dragon from approaching the severely wounded Long Yi and offered to fight in his place.

• Li Qing cultivated the Golden Saint Treasure Body with the pool’s energy, but the pressure awakened the Demon Venerable’s Will in his sea of consciousness.
• After seven days and then two more, Li Qing and Long Yi remained in the pool despite its intensifying pressure, surpassing the dragon clan’s nine-day benchmark.

Li Qing spent twenty-two days in the Dragon Transformation Pool, greatly strengthening his body, then used the seven days before his return to the Spirit Realm to explore the Ancient Dragon Realm. He concealed his plans by taking over a Dragon Blood Demonic Crocodile’s cave abode and controlling the creature with Cunning Snake Eyes.

• Long Yi left the Dragon Transformation Pool after twelve days, while Li Qing continued absorbing its energy until the pool became useless to him on his twenty-second day.

Li Qing followed Spirit Venerable Yu Ji’s lead to a hidden True Spirit Origin beneath the Star Sea, only to discover it was an active Pixiu Origin trapped in a space concealed by the Heaven Sealing Marvelous Art. He fought the instinct-driven Pixiu with his spirit fires and Immortal Severing Sword, but the Pixiu swallowed him whole.

• Li Qing concealed his heavenly secrets, escaped the cave region, and learned from Spirit Venerable Yu Ji that Old Ghost Myriad Treasures had recorded the location of a True Spirit Origin.
• Li Qing reached the Star Sea and used his Grotto-Heaven Treasure to expose an abyss hidden by the Heaven Sealing Marvelous Art.
• The abyss swallowed Li Qing into a strange space, where he and Spirit Venerable Yu Ji realized the supposed sealed origin was an active Pixiu Origin.
• Li Qing attacked the Pixiu with fused Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, then wounded it with destructive sword energy from the Immortal Severing Sword.
• As Li Qing moved in for another strike, the Pixiu unleashed its suction force and swallowed him whole.

Li Qing was swallowed by the Pixiu Origin, but the Demon Venerable awakened through him and refined the origin before returning control of his body.

• As the Pixiu Origin began refining Li Qing, the Demon Venerable awakened through him and reversed the process, absorbing the True Spirit Origin.
• The Demon Venerable made a deal with Spirit Venerable Yu Ji to help Li Qing reach the Mahayana stage, then visited the Eternal Night World before falling dormant again.

• The Two Realms Battlefield appeared ahead of schedule, and Mahayana experts from the Spirit Realm and Devil Realm clashed as both armies charged into battle.

After Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate’s death, Li Qing saved Ascension City and six other cities from demon attacks, then learned a Mahayana Realm being was reaching for Heaven Refining Pavilion. As the being’s giant hand seized the pavilion, the Feng Family summoned a true spirit heavenly phoenix to intervene.

• A foreign-race Mahayana powerhouse threatened the Dao Palace and took the Heaven Refining Scripture in exchange for sparing the human race from another battlefield conscription.
• As the human race’s situation worsened, Su Ling, Su Yin, Li Qiyin, Long Yi, and others waited for Li Qing to return, while a grandfather tried to flee overseas with his grandson.
