Li Qingyuan left his people with leaders, resources, and instructions to protect and develop the homeland before departing for the Tai Cang Immortal Realm.

• With a little over an hour before the team resumed its hunt, Li Qingyuan began studying Ma Chao’s Mysterious Water Treasure Codex and techniques.

Disguised as Ma Chao, Li Qingyuan joined Lingxi Sect’s disciples as they traveled to a supposed Immortal Pool, but he suspected the fire beasts were an illusion. Yan Lingyue spotted an ambush, and two allied forces surrounded the sect, prompting her to order a charge through their encirclement.

Yan Lingyue led the Lingxi Sect disciples in a desperate breakout against the far larger forces of the Refining Yin Sect and its allies. After her secret art carved open a path, Li Qingyuan slipped away from the fleeing group and was pursued by three cultivators, whom he viewed as a chance to seize more resources.

• Yan Lingyue and the Lingxi Sect disciples fought the man surnamed Fang, the man surnamed Zhong, and their forces, but the outnumbered Lingxi disciples began to fall.
• Li Qingyuan, disguised as Ma Chao, battled three Late Soul Transformation Stage cultivators while secretly collecting the belongings of fallen Lingxi Sect disciples.

• Li Qingyuan left the fleeing Lingxi Sect group, but a Peak Soul Transformation Stage cultivator and two Late Soul Transformation Stage cultivators pursued him, and he welcomed the chance to take their resources.

• Yan Lingyue, Dian Kui, and You Yanmei united their three sects and planned to eliminate the Lianyin Sect and Qianzhen Sect before joining the Canglan Domain’s forces.

The allied sects then hurried to Tianshan Snow Pool to seize thousands of Immortal Beasts, and Li Qingyuan looked forward to obtaining more Soul Crystals.

• Li Qingyuan looted the defeated forces, bringing his Top-grade Spirit Stones above sixty thousand and gaining eight Fire-Attribute Soul Crystals.

The four great sects battled the Immortal Beast Swarm as Li Qingyuan avoided a hidden threat beneath the Snow Pond. The fourth-Nirvana Beast King emerged and attacked the cultivators, but the Four Great Heavenly Chosen joined forces against it while Li Qingyuan resumed fighting; thousands of cultivators then rushed toward the battle.

• The Four Great Heavenly Chosen and the sect armies fought the Immortal Beasts, while Li Qingyuan killed Soul Transformation beasts and collected their Soul Crystals.
• Old Zhao warned Li Qingyuan that a hidden force beneath the Snow Pond had targeted him, so Li Qingyuan feigned exhaustion and retreated toward the main formation.
• The Beast King unleashed a wave from the Snow Pond that froze more than three hundred cultivators, then shattered many of them with its roar.

• Wan Xiaoshan pressured Wang Kai into agreeing to exhaust Ma Chao, even at the cost of his life, and Wang Kai charged into the second round.
