• You arrived in the Origin Domain with Xu Ling'er, and Xu Daolin left to protect the people you cared about in the Azure Domain.
• Your connection to the Yuan Tian Battlefield revealed the Azure Domain’s latest developments to the Origin Domain, where people learned that ten-times Essence had emerged.

In 4550, he and Xu Ling'er met Baili Zhenyan during the Martial Emperor’s grand tour, and the chapter ended with Baili discovering that both visitors were Emperor Realm experts cultivating anew.

• Yun Shou fantasized about creating physical clones and using divided minds to control many bodies, while noting the dangers of cultivating divided consciousness.
• Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er arrived in Lijiang City during Baili Zhenyan’s tour of the Nine Domains.
• Baili Zhenyan exerted Imperial Might on Xu Ling'er, invited her and Yun Shou into a carriage, and shielded them from the crowd.
• Baili Zhenyan asked whether Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er were Emperor Realm experts cultivating anew, and Yun Shou confirmed it.

Baili Zhenyan discovered that Xu Ling'er and her companion were undergoing Sixth Realm re-cultivation and pressed them to reveal the method.

• Baili Zhenyan bluntly demanded to witness the Sixth Realm re-cultivation method and implied that he could let them suffer if they refused.

You and Xu Ling'er negotiated with Baili Zhenyan over the resources required for him to obtain a re-cultivation method. The discussion ended with Baili Zhenyan growing angry, while you revealed that you had expected this reaction.

• You asked Baili Zhenyan whether he could provide the resources Xu Ling'er would need, then estimated the cost at roughly three thousand times the resources for a True King to advance from Major Accomplishment to Perfection.

• Baili Zhenyan recalled that he had refused to serve as a slave for a hundred thousand years in exchange for a re-cultivation method, and had failed to devise one himself over eighty thousand years.
• Baili Zhenyan explained that, with only a little over ten thousand years left in his lifespan, he had sought powerful lone-wandering Sixth Realms who might reveal the method while weak.
• You sneered inwardly, knowing from what you had seen of the future that Baili Zhenyan would eventually become angry.

Baili Zhenyan threatened Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er, demanding the method of rebuilding cultivation and using his Dao Seal’s pressure to intimidate them. Yun Shou refused, and Baili Zhenyan gave them four months to reconsider before his tour ended.

• Yun Shou recalled a future in which Baili Zhenyan attacked Xu Ling'er, prompting Yun Shou to descend and destroy Baili Zhenyan and his soul.
• Yun Shou questioned how Baili Zhenyan had so completely suppressed Xu Ling'er despite her strength after burning her origin, and realized the Dao Seal system was responsible.
• Baili Zhenyan sealed off the carriage, exerted his Dao Seal pressure, and demanded that Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er reveal the cultivation-rebuilding method.
• Yun Shou warned Baili Zhenyan that he and Xu Ling'er could face him as two opponents in the same realm, but Baili Zhenyan remained confident and threatened to destroy their rebuilding bodies.
• Baili Zhenyan lifted the blockade and gave Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er four months, until his tour ended, to decide whether to comply.

Yun Shou learned that Yuan Mingzun had visited the Azure Domain to ask about his Essence Blessing, but realized the Co-Lord of Spring and Autumn had not detected him. Yuan Mingzun considered Essence Blessing a useful but limited path and expected it to help prepare the Yuan Tian Realm for the Calamity Beasts beyond it.

• Yuan Mingzun visited the Azure Domain and asked its people to contact Yun Shou because he was curious about Essence Blessing.
• Yun Shou feared that learning Yuan Mingzun's name might let the Co-Lord detect him, but later concluded that the Seventh Realm's all-seeing effect was only a one-time authority.
• Yuan Mingzun judged that even greatly enhanced Essence could not let Sixth Realm cultivators reach or defeat Seventh Realm Immortals.
• Yuan Mingzun believed Essence Blessing could help less talented cultivators advance and face the Calamity Beasts beyond the Yuan Tian Realm.

Yun Shou and Xu Ling'er traveled toward the Yuan Tian Realm’s center, reaching the Heng Domain after learning about its powerful clans and the legendary Divine Vein Sacred Domain. Soon after arriving, they witnessed a man carrying off a colossal warship while the Star God Palace pursued him with a vast fleet.

• Yun Shou reasoned that Bei Chenguang and other Children of Destiny could defeat the Calamity Beast, then worried that Eleven’s immortality might leave him nothing to inherit.

Xiang Yang fled the Green Domain after Yu Ziyan tracked him down, leaving you and Xu Ling'er behind to travel alone. In 4719, you heard that Xiao Yelin had risen to prominence and learned how the Nangong Goddess had secretly given him a cultivation system suited to his sacred body.

• Xiang Yang recounted how Yu Ziyan had pursued him for nearly a thousand years, even growing more attached after he beat her and tried to drive her away.
• Xiang Yang told you farewell and left the Green Domain three days after Yu Ziyan arrived, before you and Xu Ling'er noticed he was gone.
• You and Xu Ling'er traveled through the domains and heard that Xiao Yelin had stormed the Nangong Divine Clan, revealed Eighteenth Heaven power, and taken the current Goddess.
• You learned that Xiao Yelin had been born with Primordial Unity, a sacred body incompatible with the martial-meridian system of his Lower Realm.
• You discovered that the Nangong Goddess had recognized Xiao Yelin's sacred body as a child and given him a ring containing a cultivation system suited to him.

Yun Shou watched reports of the Nangong Goddess leaving with Xiao Yelin and reflected on rising prodigies, while continuing to evade the forces tracking him. Years later, he checked on the Azure Domain and wondered whether Bei Chenguang would reach the Seventh Realm in time.

• You reflected on how targeted resources accelerated cultivation and heard that Chu Xiao was showing off across the Hengtian Imperial Domain while concealing his strength.
• You learned that Chu Xiao shared Chu Tiandi's name and face, and Yun Shou guessed that Chu Tiandi had been betrayed by Cai Tiandi and Xiao Nvdi.
• You discovered that Chu Xiao had emerged from Blue Star, prompting Yun Shou to consider visiting the familiar-seeming world once he reached the seventh realm.
• You found Blue Star's Lower Realm entrance and used future sight to explore a world more than a century after Chu Xiao's arrival, where Spiritual Energy Revival had produced many extraordinary beings.
• You learned that Blue Star's universities and capitals honored Chu Xiao as Chu Tiandi for defeating powerful foes from across the world.
