Jiang Ping'an gathered thousands of Human Race cultivators and persuaded them to help build a refuge city for more than six hundred thousand people rescued from Yu Feng Great Canyon. The group arrived at the canyon, where Jiang invited them to see the captives firsthand before discussing the next steps.

• Jiang Ping'an told the Human Race cultivators that he had rescued more than six hundred thousand people from Azure Cang Wolves in Yu Feng Great Canyon and had slain their attackers, including a sixth-realm Demon Emperor.

• Jiang Ping'an proposed building a great human city and explained that donations would earn contribution points usable toward land and houses.

Jiang Ping'an refused Hu Xueqiong’s request to buy land in Ping'an City, then accepted an invitation to dine with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox princess, Hu Yunhua. He moved to the honored guest quarters on Qihu Peak and escaped Hu Xueqiong’s attempted seduction; a year later, the Divine Origin Domain’s opening was imminent.

• A year passed, during which Hu Yunhua hosted Jiang Ping'an at three more banquets and Hu Yan'er visited him twice as the Divine Origin Domain’s opening approached.

Jiang Ping'an attended a high-end auction, bought the Celestial Race Heaven-Rank Spell Winter Night's Roar, and agreed to give Hu Yan'er a slot in the Divine Origin Ruins in exchange for seventy percent of her gains.

• Hu Hongzhuang visited Jiang Ping'an late at night and begged to accompany Hu Yan'er; he agreed, and sent her away when she tried to seduce him.

Jiang Ping'an mastered the Celestial Race spell Winter Night's Roar, returned to Ping'an City to discuss land sales and the Mountain-Pulling Ape clan, then set out for the Divine Origin Ruins.

Jiang Ping'an entered the Divine Origin Ruins and secretly reunited with Shangguan Xue, verifying that she was not controlled by the Ice Phoenix before learning about her recent life and her search for a divine medicine. He then ventured toward the ruins’ dangerous depths in pursuit of Enlightenment Tea Leaves, where he witnessed a red-furred giant hand seize a Golden-Winged Peng.

• Jiang Ping'an entered the Divine Origin Ruins with hundreds of other Fifth Realm creatures after the Violet Kirin and the Saint Realm beings opened the passage.

• Jiang Ping'an discovered that the depths were an enormous ancient formation and saw a red-furred giant hand seize a Golden-Winged Peng before cautiously entering the mist on foot.

Jiang Ping'an searched the Chaos Maze Formation for the Enlightenment Tea Tree, ignored many treasures, and forced the mist’s guardians to guide him to it. He left with forty Enlightenment Tea Leaves and several other treasures, while the ghosts feared he would return and discover the Immortal Hall.

• Jiang Ping'an wandered through the mist for more than a month, passing up heavenly treasures as he searched for the Enlightenment Tea Tree.
• When Jiang Ping'an prepared to break through the formation, Miao Yu appeared and offered to guide him to the treasures he requested.

• Jiang Ping'an and the allied humans and foxes charged through the native creatures’ defensive line, using Jade Transformation Divine Light and their Spirit Treasures to break through.
