• Sword Elder showed Li Yuanba his new mountain peak and cave dwelling, where Li Yuanba discovered a Great Cultivator-level spiritual meridian and luxurious furnishings.

Li Shiming secretly condensed Shattering Void Sword Intent, then discovered a Jade Purity Thunder Canon cultivator fighting eight Nascent Soul cultivators and watched from concealment. The battle turned against Wang Yuan when the White Emperor Sect cultivators unleashed a combined Falling Rock spell, forcing him to use a Jade Purity Thunder Canon secret art.

• Li Shiming condensed Shattering Void Sword Intent in a remote cave mansion and left once a sprout formed within his Golden Thunder Nascent Soul.
• Li Shiming sensed a Jade Purity Thunder Canon cultivator fighting in a distant valley, concealed his own thunder aura, and approached to observe.

• A White Emperor Sect cultivator revealed that the sect had lured Wang Yuan into a trap to seize the pearl and weaken the Jade Purity Sect.
• The eight cultivators combined their Spell Rune Patterns to summon several dozen powerful meteorites with the Falling Rock spell.
• Wang Yuan used blood from his tongue to unleash the Thunder Body secret art as the meteorites descended.

Li Shiming watched Wang Yuan, trapped and badly injured by eight White Emperor Sect cultivators, reveal the power of the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl and the Thunder and Lightning Body. Wang Yuan killed Song Yu with a hidden lightning strike, then chose to make a final stand by burning his lifespan to cast the Thunder Cloud Art.

• The White Emperor Sect cultivators trapped Wang Yuan with the Invisible Yuan Magnetism divine ability and used Falling Rock Spell to wear him down.

• Li Shiming recognized the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl's power and began preparing to take advantage of the battle.
• Song Yu left the cultivators' formation to challenge Wang Yuan, who struck him with a powerful hidden bolt of lightning that killed him.
• Wang Yuan rejected escape, activated Thunder Body and the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl, and burned his lifespan to cast the Thunder Cloud Art in a single breath.

Li Shiming seized the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl after Wang Yuan’s Thunder Cloud Art devastated the White Emperor Sect cultivators, then discovered a powerful Spirit Mark inside it. The pearl accepted him as a secondary master, but its true controller could still reclaim it, leaving Li Shiming to decide whether to risk using its power.

• Wang Yuan’s Thunder Cloud Art killed Song Yu and six of the remaining White Emperor Sect cultivators, while one badly injured cultivator survived by using the Invisible Yuan Magnetism divine ability.

• At his hidden Cave Dwelling, Li Shiming examined the pearl and discovered a lightning-filled inner world connected to the Jade Purity Thunder Canon.
• Li Shiming found a Spirit Mark belonging to a powerful controller and realized the pearl could recognize him only as a secondary master, though he wanted its enhancement of Thunder Methods.

Li Shiming discovered that Shattering Void Sword Intent could slowly damage the Spirit Mark inside the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl, while Luo Yuan realized the treasure had been taken and sent Wang He to investigate. Li Shiming examined Wang Yuan’s belongings and found Violet Thunder Plasma that could accelerate his cultivation of the Jade Purity Thunder Canon.

• Li Shiming found that Shattering Void Sword Intent created a tiny gap in the Spirit Mark and set one brain to attack it continuously.
• Luo Yuan failed to retrieve the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl, concluded his Spirit Mark had been erased, and ordered Wang He to investigate Wang Yuan’s fate and recover the treasure.
• Li Shiming examined Wang Yuan’s Fourth Grade top-tier magical robe, Sky Strike Thunder Hammer, and Mustard Seed Ring, deciding the Jade Purity Sect-marked flying boat was too risky to use.
• Li Shiming opened an ancient Jade Box and recognized the Violet Thunder Plasma inside as a rare aid to cultivating the Jade Purity Thunder Canon.
• Li Shiming put away the Violet Thunder Plasma and found Wang Yuan’s recorded cultivation insights.

Li Shiming examined the spoils from the White Emperor Sect cultivators, found Thunder Avoidance Jade Tokens and an Invisible Yuan Magnetism inheritance object, and hid his gains while he waited to see how events unfolded. More than three months later, Wang He traced the battlefield attack to the White Emperor Sect and confronted Yan Gao, who was searching for the missing cultivators and inheritance object.

• Li Shiming examined the eight Mustard Seed Rings, discovering Thunder Avoidance Jade Tokens, an Invisible Yuan Magnetism inheritance object, and valuable earth-element materials.
• Li Shiming checked that the battlefield’s chaos had erased his traces, then returned to the sect and left his gains unused.
• Wang He arrived at the battlefield after more than three months of travel and identified the White Emperor Sect’s earth-element methods and Invisible Yuan Magnetism as evidence of its involvement.
• Wang He tracked cultivators who had visited the battlefield, taking several away for questioning before following the last remaining aura to a mountain peak.
• Wang He confronted Yan Gao, who was beside the dead owner of the mountain Cave Dwelling and explained that the White Emperor Sect had lost eight cultivators and its Invisible Yuan Magnetism inheritance object.

Yan Gao and Wang He joined forces to investigate Wang Yuan’s death and the missing Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl, then recruited Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to help. Li Shiming recognized that the investigation could expose his Jade Purity Thunder Canon and was excused from taking part.

• Yan Gao told Wang He that Song Yu and most of the cultivators who ambushed Wang Yuan had died, and the two old enemies agreed to investigate together and exchange information.
• Li Shiming learned through Li Yuanba that the Jade Purity Sect and White Emperor Sect were superpowers, and he kept his movements concealed.
• Yan Gao asked Great Cultivator Hu to have Ten Thousand Beasts Sect investigate which Nascent Soul cultivators had visited the battlefield, offering information and compensation.
• Li Shiming recognized the case details in Yan Gao’s jade slip and declined his share of the spiritual pills, saying he intended to enter seclusion.
• Great Cultivator Hu agreed that Li Shiming would not participate, since investigating could reveal that he practiced the Jade Purity Thunder Canon.

Li Shiming planted a Thunder Avoidance Jade Token where Mu Jing would find it, hoping to shift suspicion toward the Veiled Sun Sect. The deception led Great Cultivator Yan Gao and Great Cultivator Wang He to prepare a confrontation with the Veiled Sun Sect, while Li Shiming realized his small ruse had escalated far beyond what he expected.

• Li Shiming sent the Phantom Spirit Dragon to leave a Thunder Avoidance Jade Token where Mu Jing would discover it.
• Mu Jing found the token, then sold it to Zuo Shun after spreading news of it to attract a favorable offer.
• Great Cultivator Yan Gao and Great Cultivator Wang He intercepted Zuo Shun, identified the White Emperor Sect mark on the token, and questioned him about its origin.
• Zuo Shun named his Master, Great Cultivator Pan Xiao, and Great Cultivator Yan Gao killed him in anger over the Veiled Sun Sect.
• Great Cultivator Yan Gao and Great Cultivator Wang He notified the other major sects and prepared to confront the Veiled Sun Sect, while the Lotus Flower Temple sent two Great Honored Ones to intervene.
• Li Shiming learned of the impending conflict and realized his attempt to divert suspicion had triggered a much larger crisis.

Great Cultivators Wang He and Yan Gao attacked the Veiled Sun Sect, with Yan Gao destroying the sect’s outer territory and Wang He bombarding its grand formation. The chapter ended with the formation still holding as Wang He intensified his lightning assault, while the Veiled Sun Sect remained unsure why Pan Xiao was their target.

• Li Shiming stayed in his cave dwelling and gathered news from Yue Shan and Lu Heng instead of going to watch the attack.
• Great Cultivator Yan Gao used Mountain Collapse and Earth Shatter to break the Veiled Sun Sect’s spatial barrier and devastate its mountain gate territory.
• Great Cultivators Ba Run and Pan Xiao activated the sect’s defenses, summoned their cultivators to the formation, and called other sects for help.
• Great Cultivator Wang He identified Pan Xiao as his target and unleashed Thunder Cloud Art against the Veiled Sun Sect’s Mountain Gate Grand Formation.
• Ba Run and Pan Xiao resisted the lightning with their Nascent Soul Avatars and the formation, while Pan Xiao insisted he did not know why Wang He and Yan Gao had attacked.
• Wang He grew furious that his Thunder Cloud Art had not broken the formation and poured more Spiritual Power into the spell.

Great Cultivators Yan Gao and Wang He attacked the Veiled Sun Sect’s mountain formation, overwhelming its defenders and collapsing its Golden Core cultivators. The Four Great Local Sects intervened before the formation fell, and Yan Gao presented evidence linking the missing White Emperor Sect cultivators to Pan Xiao, who inwardly blamed Zuo Shun.

• Yan Gao joined Wang He’s assault on the Veiled Sun Sect’s Mountain Gate Grand Formation, while Ba Run and Pan Xiao counterattacked with their flying swords.
• Yan Gao used the Invisible Yuan Magnetism Divine Power to seize and destroy the spirit marks in both swords, and Cao joined the sect’s defense.
• Yan Gao and Wang He intensified their attacks until all the Golden Core cultivators collapsed and the formation neared failure.
• Two Great Honored Ones from Lotus Flower Temple and Great Cultivators from the Tai Chu Sect and Ten Thousand Beasts Sect arrived, prompting Yan Gao and Wang He to stop attacking.
• Yan Gao showed the Thunder Avoidance Jade Token found on Zuo Shun and said Zuo had identified Pan Xiao as the person who gave it to him, causing the assembled Great Cultivators to turn toward Pan Xiao.

After the Thunder Avoidance Jade Token led to a crisis at Veiled Sun Sect, investigations failed to uncover Li Shiming’s role, and the two pursuing Great Cultivators left the Eastern Qi Continent. With the danger reduced, Li Shiming began the first test for inheriting the Invisible Yuan Magnetism divine ability.

• Great Cultivator Ba Run identified Mu Jing as the source of Zuo Shun’s Thunder Avoidance Jade Token, and Great Cultivator Yan Gao’s soul search left Mu Jing a Living Dead.
• Great Cultivator Yan Gao and Great Cultivator Wang He searched Veiled Sun Sect’s Cave Heaven, found no trace of the treasures, and required the sect to cooperate with their investigation.
• Veiled Sun Sect’s investigation and the wider search failed to identify the Phantom Spirit Dragon or reveal how the Thunder Avoidance Jade Token had appeared outside the mountain gate.
• After a year, Great Cultivator Yan Gao and Great Cultivator Wang He left the Eastern Qi Continent, and Li Shiming felt safe enough to pursue the inheritance.
• Li Shiming sent his Earth Thunder Nascent Soul into the Stone Ring, where IBMz15 analyzed the first test’s shifting lines and found their movement formula in 135 hours.

He began a secluded cultivation with Violet Thunder Plasma, ending his alchemy work to focus on advancing his cultivation.

• Li Shiming used IBMz15 to decipher the Stone Ring’s force fields and passed its final Seven-Colored Light trial, receiving the Invisible Yuan Magnetism Divine Power Rune.

Li Yuanba followed Tang Xue Ning on a mission to slay the Three Fiends of Ping, and the two tracked them to their temporary cave mansion at He Ding Mountain. After Li Yuanba broke through its formations, they found signs that the fiends were preparing to refine a Fourth Grade Top Tier Magical Treasure and set an ambush for their return.

• Tang Xue Ning planned for them to ambush the fiends at the Cultivation Room entrance, and Li Yuanba set up a Concealment Formation to hide them.

Tang Xue Ning and Li Yuanba ambushed the Three Fiends of Ping as they entered their cave, killing the two younger brothers’ physical bodies before the eldest escaped.

• Li Yuanba told Tang Xue Ning that he had researched the formation, then pointed out that the Eldest was approaching its hidden Five Elements Killing Formation.

After killing the Three Fiends of Ping, Li Yuanba discovered the eldest’s unfinished bow-shaped magical treasure and the Sun Shooting Art, while his battle record spread across the Central Continent.
