Jiang Ping'an and his treasures defeated the Celestial Race force while Lin Zihan completed her tribulation and became the Sage of Yin Water.

Jiang Ping'an secured Lin Zihan’s promises to protect Ping'an City and accompany him to the Great Qian Kingdom, then hosted her Saint’s celebration. When Qingqiu City’s princess tried to negotiate away the peace pact, Jiang Ping'an refused and offered her a chance to leave Qingqiu City, while Hu Yan'er chose to stay in Ping'an City.

• Jiang Ping'an asked Lin Zihan to secure a thirty-year peace pact with Qingqiu City, pressure the Beite Family to abandon its claim, and protect him in the Great Qian Kingdom; she agreed to protect him with all her strength.
• Palace Master Yunshui asked Jiang Ping'an to host Lin Zihan’s celebration, which Ping'an City held more than a month later with envoys from across the region in attendance.

• Jiang Ping'an urged the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Princess to leave Qingqiu City and invited Hu Yan'er to stay in Ping'an City; Hu Yan'er accepted.

• Jiang Ping'an reasoned that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Ancestor might be missing, gravely injured, or dead, and Lin Zihan agreed to the marriage alliance.
• Jiang Ping'an told the Fifteenth Elder of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox that he would marry Princess Yunhua, while stipulating she could not be his principal wife.
• Jiang Ping'an and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan leader signed a peace treaty and set the wedding date for a little over a month later.

After the Beite Family attacked Ping'an City, Lin Zihan revealed her Saint-level power and drove the attackers away. Palace Master Yunshui then asked Jiang Ping'an to cleanse her karma with Karma Cleansing Skyfire so she could pursue sainthood, and he agreed under two conditions.

• Jiang Ping'an sensed the Beite Family's forces attacking Ping'an City, and Lin Zihan rose into the sky to meet them.
• Lin Zihan's tidal wave crushed the weaker attackers and heavily wounded the Celestial Race Venerables and Demon Emperors, who fled after she ordered them away.
• Jiang Ping'an reassured Ping'an City's residents, and three days later Palace Master Yunshui told him that Lin Zihan had moved to Sky Lake Mountain.
• Palace Master Yunshui asked Jiang Ping'an to use Karma Cleansing Skyfire on her, and he agreed if she obtained Lin Zihan's consent and paid him one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Palace Master Yunshui begged Lin Zihan to let Ye Chenzhou use the Karma Cleansing Skyfire to remove her karma, but Lin Zihan refused, and Yunshui remained determined. After a year of cultivation, Jiang Ping'an set out for the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool in the Western Wastelands, using the Golden-Winged Peng as his mount and a God Source Crystal to restore its strength along the way.

• Palace Master Yunshui visited Lin Zihan and pleaded for permission to use the Karma Cleansing Skyfire, but Lin Zihan refused because the process was too dangerous.
• Palace Master Yunshui knelt outside Lin Zihan's hall for half a month, while Jiang Ping'an stayed in Ping'an City and continued cultivating.
• After another year, Jiang Ping'an reached the perfection of the Dao Inquiry Realm and learned that the Golden-Winged Peng had not advanced to Demon King, so he planned to use God Source Crystals to restore its demon power during their journey.
• Jiang Ping'an told Ping'an City's leaders, Lan Yu, Princess Yunhua, and Palace Master Yunshui that he would be away for about a year, then departed at night with the Golden-Winged Peng for the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool.
• After the Golden-Winged Peng flew about a million li and needed to rest, Jiang Ping'an gave it a God Source Crystal, which restored its demon power and advanced its cultivation before they continued onward.

Jiang Ping'an entered the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool in search of the Enlightenment Tea Tree and devised a way to withstand its lightning. He safely traveled into its depths and noticed unusual rocks that could be useful to his cultivators.

• Jiang Ping'an left the Golden-Winged Peng outside the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool and began crossing the lightning-struck plateau.

• Jiang Ping'an flew deeper into the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool with the rod and spotted unusual thunderstones that might be refined into magic treasures.

Jiang Ping'an searched the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool for the Enlightenment Tea Tree and discovered people living beneath a lake of lightning plasma. After they attacked him and refused to talk, he left to find a larger lake and someone willing to communicate.

• Jiang Ping'an spotted several children playing in the lightning plasma and pursued them to a lake where they disappeared beneath the surface.
• Jiang Ping'an entered the lake, endured the lightning plasma with his body, and lost his clothes when they were destroyed.

• Jiang Ping'an escaped through the void, returned to shore, and went in search of a larger lightning lake where he might find someone willing to talk.

Jiang Ping'an met the Thunder Clan beneath the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool and won Chief Lei’s help in searching for the Enlightenment Tea Tree. He learned that the clan had once guarded the pool under Emperor Yuan Zhao, and Chief Lei asked him to stay as the clan’s son-in-law to help renew their bloodline.

• Jiang Ping'an traded Demon King Spirit Pills for clothes, then paid the lake guards to arrange a meeting with their chief.

• Chief Lei explained that the clan could no longer leave the pool and asked Jiang Ping'an to become their son-in-law.

Jiang Ping'an traded with the Thunder Clan for lightning treasures, then set out with Zhao Fengge, Wang Xuan'er, and Zhou Yao to search for the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

• The Profound Yellow Pagoda blocked the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, allowing Jiang Ping'an to catch up and hug the Enlightenment Tea Tree's trunk.

Jiang Ping'an found the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool and negotiated for forty-three leaves after the Profound Yellow Pagoda subdued the Kui Ox that came to rescue it. He left the pool with lightning treasures and enough tea leaves to pursue his advancement, planning to seek more after bringing his mother out of the Great Qian Kingdom.

• The Enlightenment Tea Tree called for help, and the Profound Yellow Pagoda defeated and imprisoned the Kui Ox.
• Jiang Ping'an bargained with the Enlightenment Tea Tree and picked forty-three leaves, then gathered heavenly treasures on his way down Thunder Curse Mountain.

Jiang Ping'an refined Enlightenment Tea Leaves to gain enough insight to attempt advancing to the Dao Unification Realm far from Azure Treasure Continent. Heaven and Earth unleashed a true Heavenly Tribulation against him, and the chapter leaves him facing a barrage of World Extinction Lightning while struggling against the Heaven and Earth Shackles.

• Jiang Ping'an refined thirty Enlightenment Tea Leaves, gained three billion Proficiency Points, and used them to comprehend the early stages of Volume Eight of the "Dao Scripture."
• Jiang Ping'an chose a desolate region for his breakthrough, killed the nearby Demon Emperor and Demon Kings, and cleared the area of threats.
• Jiang Ping'an began advancing to the Dao Unification Realm, but the Profound Yellow Pagoda warned him that Heaven and Earth would suppress his breakthrough.

• Jiang Ping'an awakened from the shackles' mental suppression and used Sacred Body: Law, Heaven, and Earth to grow one thousand zhang tall and try to break free.
• World Extinction Lightning split Jiang Ping'an's scalp, then sent ten more bolts hurtling toward his head.

Jiang Ping'an remained trapped in the Heavenly Tribulation’s illusions as it drained his strength and will. The Profound Yellow Pagoda intervened to reach him, but Jiang Ping'an was still overwhelmed by a vision of his mother dying to protect him from Zhao Yingpeng.

• Jiang Ping'an struck the ten bolts of World Extinction Lightning, but the Heaven and Earth Shackles suppressed him and left his consciousness muddled.
• The Heavenly Tribulation drained Jiang Ping'an for two days while the Profound Yellow Pagoda watched, unable to intervene.

• Jiang Ping'an saw Xuan Shan crush him beneath a golden mountain while Jiang Shuyue begged the Golden Arhat to spare her son.
• Jiang Ping'an saw Zhao Yingpeng prepare to bind him with the Mountain-Sea Hoop, then watched Jiang Shuyue use the Soul Transformation Forbidden Art to fight Zhao Yingpeng and die.
• Zhao Yingpeng mocked Jiang Ping'an over Jiang Shuyue's death and called himself Jiang Ping'an's father.

During his Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Ping'an relived the death of his mother, Jiang Shuyue, and his desperate attempt to kill Zhao Yingpeng. He broke free of the Heaven and Earth Shackles, shattered the tribulation eye, and advanced to the Dao Unification Realm.

• In an illusion, Jiang Ping'an watched Jiang Shuyue die and charged at Zhao Yingpeng, but Xuan Shan and Xuanzang struck him down to protect Zhao Yingpeng.
• Jiang Ping'an cut away his flesh to return what Zhao Yingpeng claimed he owed him, then used Blood Rebirth to restore his body and attack again.

• Jiang Ping'an swallowed the God Source Crystal, gained strength, and tore apart all ten shackles despite the World Extinction Lightning.
• Jiang Ping'an leaped into the sky, shattered the tribulation eye, and advanced from the Dao Inquiry Realm to the Dao Unification Realm.
