As Long Yi neared success, the Beast Race and Three-Eyed Sacred Race intervened, and Li Qing wounded Mingzun with the unfinished Chaos Immortal Slaying Sword before Lingxu Zi appeared.

• Xuantian Immortal Hall identified the shoot as one of the Queen Mother of the West’s three great immortal treasures and explained that consuming it could transform Li Qing’s body toward a Mystic Immortal’s.

Li Qing captured an Immortal Bamboo Shoot and secured all three Golden Slips, discovering that they contained the Primordial Body Tempering Immortal Scripture. He headed toward Jade Void Palace to seek another Immortal Dao Token as news spread of an awakened Alchemy Immortal Furnace in Tushita Palace.

• Li Qing used the Primal World Seed to preserve the Immortal Bamboo Shoot’s excess medicinal power, then trapped and took the sentient treasure from the Immortal Estate.
• Li Qing left with the Golden Slips and negotiated with the Heavenly Demon Race cultivators, who surrendered their third slip so everyone could view the inheritance.

Li Qing was trapped in the Three-Eyed Sacred Race’s Imperfect Immortal Dao Array, but the Primal World Seed let him counter its immortal power and devour the array’s laws. When the seed awakened and threatened to draw the attention of immortal-world Dao Patriarchs, Li Qing chose to follow the Demon Venerable’s risky plan and attempt to become a Half-step True Immortal.

• Lingxu Zi and the Three-Eyed Sacred Race cultivators activated the Imperfect Immortal Dao Array, suppressing Li Qing and wounding him with immortal power.
• Li Qing activated the Primal World Seed and Great Void Immortal Fire, nullified the array’s effects on himself, and began devouring its Immortal Dao Law.
• Lingxu Zi ordered the cultivators to ignite the array and flee, but the Primal World Seed awakened and began absorbing the unleashed Immortal Dao Law on its own.
• The Demon Venerable warned Li Qing that the seed’s awakening could attract immortal-world Dao Patriarchs and advised him to sever the array’s connection to the Immortal Dao Law, suppress the seed, and fuse his power with Immortal Spiritual Power.

He then tracked Lingxu Zi to the Immortal Gate and attacked him as he tried to escape, leaving the Three-Eyed Sacred Race to discover their ancestor badly mangled.

After ending his seclusion, he searched the realms for Chaos Supreme Treasures to escape the world's suppression and found a karmic connection leading him to Ice Extreme Palace.

• Li Qing failed to overcome the Great Dao's suppression with the Huntian Treasure Seal and concluded that he needed two more top-ten Chaos Supreme Treasures to seal himself.
