Lu Qingfeng passed the Immortal Mansion’s second trial by refusing the magic artifacts and defeating five same-level guardians. Xun Bai, Jing Zhan, Elder Wu, and a black-robed rogue cultivator then made different choices as they entered the trial, with the black-robed man ultimately choosing to face the first formation without taking an artifact.

• The Yushan Daoist’s divine sense announced that the second trial tested cultivation and choices, with stronger formations for those who took better magic artifacts.
• Lu Qingfeng entered the first grand formation without taking an artifact and swiftly defeated its five Golden Armored Divine Generals.

• Xun Bai took the Celestial Star Shield with another token talisman, and he explained that Azurewood Valley had recovered five of the seven talismans left by the Yushan Daoist.
• Jing Zhan declined to take an artifact, and he, Xun Bai, and Elder Wu defeated the first formation’s guardians and proceeded to the third trial.
• The black-robed man considered the last sixth-grade magic artifact but turned away and entered the first grand formation without taking it.

Lu Qingfeng cleared the third trial by mastering a spell through the Primordial World, then used Grand Luo Insight to find the true path through the fourth trial’s deadly bridges. In the great hall, he met Yushan Daoist’s thought incarnation and discovered it was more than the divine sense he had encountered before.

• Yushan Daoist presented four gateways for the third trial, and Lu Qingfeng entered the cultivation gateway to choose the Cloud-Treading Vault spell.
• Lu Qingfeng recorded the spell in the Attribute Panel, mastered it in the Primordial World, and cleared the third trial.

• Old Wu urged Xun Bai to discard their Yu Mountain Token Talismans, but the array’s lightning killed him after Xun Bai retreated and protected himself with the Jade-Cloud Screen.

The Immortal Mansion of Yu Mountain collapsed after lightning killed Elder Wu and destroyed the black-robed figure, scattering its treasures and forcing the cultivators into a battle over dharma artifacts. Lu Qingfeng escaped with the Azurewood King Cauldron and other treasures, then decided to remain near Biyang Lake rather than follow Yushan Daoist’s plan to send him north.

• Lu Qingfeng escaped as Daoist Evergreen, entered Heavenward Abyss, and examined the Azurewood King Cauldron and three seventh-rank artifacts he had obtained.
• Lu Qingfeng decided not to travel to the Three Mountains Region because he could conceal the cauldron with his Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall and wanted to stay near Qingshan and Qingyu.

Lu Qingfeng examined Yushan Daoist’s treasures and discovered the Mortal-World Longevity Method, a cultivation method that could grant extraordinary lifespans but left its practitioners vulnerable.

• Lu Qingfeng sacrificed Difu to the Demonic Baleful Entangling Silk Divine Curse and sent the curse toward the gray elf.

Lu Qingfeng’s curse killed Duchess Saya, exposing her as Augustine’s spy and plunging Starshine Floating City into purges and disorder. When Augustine launched an assault twenty days later, the city faced an imminent battle that Lu Qingfeng hoped to use to gain its people’s support.

• Duchess Saya’s soul was cursed, and she revealed to Blake that she served the Thorn Archduke Augustine and had helped infiltrate Starshine Floating City before Blake’s holy light destroyed her.

• On the twentieth day after Duchess Saya’s death, Augustine sent his forces across the Fadir Swamp to attack Starshine Floating City.

The four dukes of Starshine Floating City watched the five fronts against Augustine’s abyssal army collapse after the Echo Lake garrison defected, only for all the enemy forces to suddenly retreat. At the Thorn Grand Rift, they discovered that Lu Qingfeng had captured Augustine and recognized him as Grand Duke Guangyuan.

• Duke Doyle reported that the Echo Lord and the gray elf garrison at Echo Lake had defected to Augustine, while Duke Blake warned that any reinforcements might betray them too.

The Eclipse Grand Duke and other powers heard that Lu Qingfeng had killed Augustine and invited the Abyss to his sermon, while the Watchers' Nest learned that Baron Guangyuan was the same person as Grand Duke Guangyuan. Lu Qingfeng reunited with Sunil, Burns, and Horace, then brought his six disciples to Abyss-Suppressing Mountain, where a force approached from the southeast.
