Jiang Ping'an crossed all six layers of the Heavenly Tribulation by absorbing their lightning into his Seven-Colored Divine Wheel, then consolidated his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation and became an elder of Dream Trace Immortal Valley. After Huangfu Wuyan asked to learn the Divine Wheel technique, Jiang Ping'an offered to teach it in exchange for three hundred bowls of Hundred-Life Yellow Millet.

Jiang Ping'an traded the Seven-Colored Divine Wheel for Hundred-Life Yellow Millet, accumulated enough Proficiency Points to prepare for advancement, and left Dream Trace Immortal Valley for the Forbidden Divine Desert. After finding that Spiritual Sense did not work there, he turned back and met Feng Jiuzhen on an island, where he warned her about the Great Barrens and urged her to delay ascending.

After returning from the Dream Realm, Jiang Ping'an used his accumulated Proficiency Points to study Volume Nine of the Dao Scripture and prepared to advance into the Celestial Realm. While searching the Endless Ocean for a suitable place, he discovered the hidden Great Continent Island and fought its guardians, who feared its secret would be exposed.

• Jiang Ping'an restored his strength, flew far into the Endless Ocean, and found Great Continent Island concealed by a super Saint-Rank illusion realm.
• Five Saints surrounded Jiang Ping'an and attacked when he refused to remain on the island, so he used the Profound Yellow Pagoda and his Divine Wheel to defeat them.
• Jiang Ping'an captured four Saints and asked the remaining Saint why they had tried to kill him; the Saint explained that the island's secret had to stay hidden to protect its people.

Jiang Ping'an broke through to Saint, smashed apart the strange Heavenly Tribulation, and invited Great Continent Island to join his planned counterattack against the Celestial Race. After the island’s leaders began discussing the offer, Jiang Ping'an headed for the Southern Wastelands to seize Essence Stone Mines and build up his strength.

Jiang Ping'an seized a Celestial Race Spirit Stone Mine but worried that the Human Race mining slaves would be killed in retaliation. The Profound Emperor Armor demonstrated that its Blacklight Domain could safely transfer people thousands of li, giving Jiang Ping'an a way to protect them as he continued targeting mines.

• Jiang Ping'an destroyed a Celestial Race mine’s defenses, killed its guards, and had the Profound Yellow Pagoda rescue the Human Race mining slaves before draining the Essence Stone Vein.

Jiang Ping'an went to the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool to complete his Sacred Body accumulation by refining thunder liquid. After reaching Saint, he asked the Thunder Clan to keep his breakthrough secret and returned to Great An Kingdom.

• The Profound Yellow Pagoda persuaded Jiang Ping'an to cultivate in the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool instead of raiding more Celestial Race Spirit Stone Mines, and Jiang Ping'an agreed.
• Jiang Ping'an reached the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, absorbed a shallow pool of silvery-white thunder liquid, and learned from the Thunder Clan patriarch about Mang Mountain Violet Lightning Lake.

• Jiang Ping'an returned to Ping'an City, held court for three days, and confirmed that Great An Kingdom's preparations were proceeding as planned.

• Ye Qingluan suggested that Ye Qingxue investigate instead, and Jiang Ping'an summoned Ye Qingxue, who gladly agreed to help him.

After Ye Qingxue reported her findings, Jiang Ping'an planned a Saint artifact designed to counter Celestial Race Great Emperors and sought materials that could strengthen his time-based divine ability. By consulting Ye Xiake's inherited records, he discovered the Cosmic Light Divine Crystal, which could amplify Instant Eternal Slash.

• Jiang Ping'an rewarded Ye Qingxue with a God Source Crystal but refused her request to stay with him for a day, and she resolved to keep helping him despite her unrequited love.
• Jiang Ping'an decided his Saint artifact should contain Chaos Stone to disrupt a Great Emperor's command of Heavenly Essence and laws, amplify Ye Clan: Instant Eternity Severance, and adapt to his Law, Heaven, and Earth state.
• Jiang Ping'an realized special treasures born from the manifestation of laws might strengthen his divine ability better than formations or divine patterns.
• Jiang Ping'an visited Douguang Mountain and merged souls with Ye Xiake to access the Falling Dusk Immortal Sect's artifact-forging records.

• Shangguan Hong led Jiang Ping'an to the sect's forbidden grounds, where Jiang Ping'an's spiritual power and blood energy churned as he approached Chaos Stone and forced him to retreat.
• Jiang Ping'an used a twelve-colored Heart Force barrier to approach Chaos Stone, lift it briefly, and return it to its place.
• Shangguan Hong asked about the barrier, and Jiang Ping'an explained that it was the power of the heart, an elevation of Spiritual Power.

Jiang Ping'an entered the True Chaos Abyss to obtain a Chaos Stone, aided by Tian Yuan Sect’s Ninth-Rank Dao Erosion Beast Hide Armor and Heart Force. He emerged with the stone after fighting off chaotic matter, and the damaged armor showed how dangerous the abyss remained.

• Shangguan Hong lent Jiang Ping'an Ninth-Rank Dao Erosion Beast Hide Armor and a nine-layered hide bag, while Yang Guizong and Gu Yaoguang offered support for the Human Race’s struggle against the Cha Slaves.
• Yang Guizong, Gu Yaoguang, and Shangguan Hong escorted Jiang Ping'an to the edge of the True Chaos Abyss, where its chaotic aura disrupted even his mana and Divine Soul.

• Jiang Ping'an punched the Celestial Race Saint away, seized the Nine-Colored Fishhook, and dragged the Winged Race Saint into the River of Time, where the Saint rapidly aged and died.
• Jiang Ping'an bound the Immeasurable Fishing Rod to himself after it promised to help him find Cosmic Light Divine Crystals.

• Jiang Ping'an used a fist-sized God Source Crystal as bait and cast the Nine-Colored Fishhook into the river.
• After many things chased the bait, Jiang Ping'an felt a pull on the rod and flung the hooked catch onto shore.

Jiang Ping'an fished the damaged Primordial Bell and a Cosmic Light Divine Crystal from a projection of the River of Time, then returned to Ping'an City to plan and perfect his exclusive Saint Artifact, Fa Di. He ended the chapter ready to forge the armguard using a blueprint he had raised to the half-step Apex Emperor Weapon rank.
