• Jiang Ping'an hid in an undersea mountain to restore his mana while Landexiu and another Celestial Race Saint searched the seabed.

Jiang Ping'an inspected Landexiu’s Storage Ring while traveling deep beneath the ocean and discovered a God Source Crystal among its treasures. After using it to restore his Primal Force, he learned that the eighteen-story Saint Artifact tower could speak and began negotiating for it to acknowledge him as its master.

Jiang Ping'an made the Profound Yellow Pagoda acknowledge him as its master, refined several Spirit Treasures, and replenished his mana while traveling underwater.

Jiang Ping'an fought and killed two giant dragons while the Profound Yellow Pagoda trapped and killed three more. After collecting the dragon corpses and treasures, he headed toward the island to hunt the remaining Flood Dragons.

• The five giant dragons were confused by Jiang Ping'an's Dao Inquiry Realm cultivation, but fled when he attacked with the Profound Yellow Pagoda and Thunder Dragon Sword.
• Jiang Ping'an used the True Thunder Treasure Wings and Dragon Abyss Halberd to kill one dragon, then pursued and killed another with his fists and sword.

After returning to Ping'an City, Jiang Ping'an reviewed the city's growth, its Spirit Stone Mine, and his disciples' progress.

Jiang Ping'an planned to seek Enlightenment Tea Leaves and recruit Lin Zihan to help find a Spirit Stone Mine, while rewarding his Pet Beasts and deciding how to sell the dragon eggs he had brought back. He offered all five eggs to Lin Zihan and Palace Master Yunshui for two million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and accepted their offer without haggling.

• Jiang Ping'an sold five Jiaolong Eggs to Palace Master Yunshui and Lin Zihan, then gave Zhang Zhe more eggs to distribute among the sect, Heaven's Mandate Garrison, and Young Guards.

• Zhang Zhe told Jiang Ping'an that a Golden-Winged Peng had brought the envoys and was circling outside the city, so Jiang Ping'an flew out with the True Thunder Treasure Wings to attack it.

Jiang Ping'an killed Pudu Mountain’s visitors and concealed their fate, then later met Ji Zongze, who brought twelve hundred talented people from the Great Qian Kingdom and requested more flying swords. The chapter ended with Jiang Ping'an offering thirty thousand swords in exchange for one Saint-Rank spell or martial skill.

• Jiang Ping'an defeated the Golden-Winged Peng, but killed it after it refused to surrender its soul essence or betray the Buddha Lord.

Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan traveled toward a Celestial Race Spirit Stone Mine, but their journey led them to an underground Emperor Purple Divine Fire. Jiang Ping'an began trying to collect the powerful flame.

• Lin Zihan told Jiang Ping'an that she had found a distant Celestial Race Spirit Stone Mine in the Luo Yuan Continent, and they agreed to travel there alone, dividing the gains seventy-thirty.
• Lin Zihan piloted her Top-Grade Treasure Ship toward the Southern Wastelands and stopped to cultivate with Jiang Ping'an in a concealed cave.
• As they continued their journey, Lin Zihan spotted a cluster of powerful Divine Fire beneath a range of flaming mountains.
• Jiang Ping'an plunged into the magma and burrowed deep underground, enduring its heat, pressure, and upward force until he reached the hidden flames.
• Jiang Ping'an identified the flames as Emperor Purple Divine Fire, one of the Three Great Extraterrestrial Divine Fires, and began collecting it.

Jiang Ping'an claimed the Emperor Purple Divine Fire, then attacked a Celestial Race spirit stone mine with Lin Zihan. After killing one Celestial Race Venerable, he pursued a Greater Completion Venerable to weaken the Celestial Race and seize its Essence Stones.

• Jiang Ping'an endured the Emperor Purple Divine Fire's power and refined it into his Essence Sea, where it displaced the Karma Cleansing Skyfire while the Swift Blaze True Fire retreated.
• Jiang Ping'an showed the Emperor Purple Divine Fire to Lin Zihan, and they traveled to Luo Yuan Continent and disguised themselves before approaching a spirit stone mine.
• Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan broke the mine's defensive formation, but two Celestial Race Venerables and a Demon Emperor counterattacked instead of fleeing.
• Jiang Ping'an used Heaven Piercing Fists to kill one Celestial Race Venerable, while the Dragon Abyss Halberd wounded the Demon Emperor and Lin Zihan fought the Greater Completion Venerable.
• The Greater Completion Venerable fled when Jiang Ping'an moved to help Lin Zihan, and Jiang Ping'an pursued him with the True Thunder Treasure Wings, intent on taking the Essence Stones and weakening the Celestial Race.

Jiang Ping'an killed a Celestial Race Great Completion Venerable with the Karmic Cataclysm Fist and helped clear the Spirit Stone Mine, where the Profound Yellow Pagoda went to absorb the mine’s essence energy. He and Lin Zihan divided the spoils, with Jiang Ping'an taking the larger share.

• Jiang Ping'an chased down the fleeing Celestial Race Great Completion Venerable and killed him with two levels of the Karmic Cataclysm Fist.

• Jiang Ping'an found more than 2.7 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones in a Storage Ring and gave it to Lin Zihan to include in their spoils.
• Lin Zihan proposed taking thirty percent of the spoils, and she and Jiang Ping'an divided the treasures, leaving him with two Spirit Treasures and 1.8 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihan escaped after the Profound Yellow Pagoda devoured the entire Essence Stone Mine, and Jiang Ping'an headed to the Celestial Continent to buy a Golden-Winged Peng. The Simon Family discovered the mine’s destruction and sought the Celestial Secret Sage’s help to identify Simon Yu’s killer.

• The Profound Yellow Pagoda told Jiang Ping'an it had devoured the entire Essence Stone Mine, so he and Lin Zihan fled aboard a Top-Grade Treasure Ship.
• After taking a long detour, Jiang Ping'an reached the Celestial Continent, entered the Fourth Ring, and found a Golden-Winged Peng scheduled for auction in nearly half a month.
• Simon Jie inspected the ruined mine and reported its destruction and the likely deaths of the Third Elder and Eighth Elder to the Simon Family.
• The Simon Family’s upper ranks agreed to use their Celestial Secret Token to investigate the culprit, and the Simon Patriarch asked the Celestial Secret Sage to identify Simon Yu’s killer.

Celestial Secret Sage failed to trace the culprits behind Simon Yu’s death and the drained Light Essence Stone Mine, so the Simon clan chief abandoned revenge. Jiang Ping'an returned to Ping'an City, raised the Golden-Winged Peng’s cultivation by burning away its karma, and later gave Lin Zihan two treasures to help her survive the Saint Tribulation.

• Celestial Secret Sage could not investigate Simon Yu’s killer or the mine’s culprit, and the Simon clan chief ordered the Simon Family to let the matter go.
• Jiang Ping'an bought the subadult Golden-Winged Peng at auction, named it Little Peng, and returned to Ping'an City with Lin Zihan.
• Jiang Ping'an used Karma Cleansing Skyfire to burn away Little Peng’s karma, then gave it Great Demon Spirit Pills to help it advance.
• A year later, Jiang Ping'an reached the late Dao Inquiry Realm, and Lin Zihan told him she was about to enter the Celestial Realm and asked him to protect her.
• Jiang Ping'an gave Lin Zihan the Eight Scenery Treasure Robe and Thunder Dragon Sword to aid her Saint Tribulation, and she apologized for misjudging him.
