Lu Bei, Fox Two, Han Miaojun, and their companions crossed the secret realm’s icy layers, where Fox Two used the Seal Monster Diagram to break through a Dao-resonance formation. Their route led into a star array and brought Lu Bei face-to-face with King Yuanji, who recognized him and revealed his grudge on behalf of King Yuanxuan.

• Han Miaojun opened the passage to the secret realm’s third layer, where the group found a frozen plain and an ice city shaped by a senior expert’s Dao resonance.
• Lu Bei and Fox Two were separated from Han Miaojun and the Grand Tutor by a formation, so Fox Two summoned powerful Demonic Creatures from the Seal Monster Diagram to break through it.

• Lu Bei spotted a figure ahead, and King Yuanji appeared and identified him as Sect Master Lu of the Heaven Heavenly Sword Sect.
• King Yuanji said his younger brother, King Yuanxuan, held a grudge against Lu Bei, and Lu Bei suggested the dispute concerned Lord Xinli before promising to take responsibility.

As Lu Bei approached the wounded King Yuanji, Han Miaojun appeared, took the Sarira, and declared that she was no longer Lou Jingou.

• Lu Bei helped Fox Two out of the pit and argued with her about carrying the diagram before Zhu Xiushi urged them to leave the collapsing void.
• Lu Bei found King Yuanji gravely wounded and moved to take the Sarira, but Han Miaojun appeared, pierced King Yuanji, and seized it.
• Han Miaojun told Di Tuhe that Lou Jingou no longer existed and identified herself as Han Miaojun of Li Luan Palace.

Han Miaojun defeated King Yuanji and tried to bring Lu Bei to Li Luan Palace, but he refused her invitation. Lu Bei rapidly cultivated from the Integrated Body Early Stage to the Tribulation Early Stage and set off to face her.

• Han Miaojun shattered King Yuanji’s golden body and sealed his Primordial Spirit, while Lu Bei tied him up and swallowed him.

Lu Bei fought Han Miaojun with his overwhelming physical strength and the Mighty Chu's Three Divine Artifacts, while Han Miaojun countered him with her Five Elements techniques. After the Grand Tutor arrived, Lu Bei summoned the Ten-Eyed Great Demon against Han Miaojun.

• Lu Bei used his speed and strength to close in on Han Miaojun, but she used the God-Illuminating Mirror and White Jade Lotus Platform to predict his attacks and defend herself.
• Lu Bei struck Han Miaojun's face, enraging her, and she transformed into a five-colored Luan Bird that trapped him in a Five Elements formation.
• Lu Bei brought out the Mighty Chu's Three Divine Artifacts and used the Feng Que Arrows to wound Han Miaojun and force her out of her Luan Bird form.

• The Grand Tutor emerged from the Void, and Lu Bei summoned the Sun-Devouring Demonic Heart to manifest the Ten-Eyed Great Demon.

As the Grand Tutor claimed the Grand Unity Heaven Calculation Chart and the demon dragged Kui Mulang away, the Candle Dragon concluded that the Demon Realm’s seal was nearing its end.

• The Grand Tutor picked up the chart and taunted Fox Two, while Fox Two’s teasing left her unable to respond.
• The Candle Dragon recognized the Ten-Eyed Great Demon as evidence that the Demon Realm’s seal was nearing its end and wondered whether to go to the Spirit Land.

Lu Bei overwhelmed Han Miaojun and Kui Mulang with his Ten-Eyed Great Demon and Great Demon God transformations, defeating their counterattack and claiming the Sarira. He left the battle with two figures resembling Han Miaojun among the three people who fell from the void.

• The Ten-Eyed Great Demon battered Kui Mulang and overwhelmed Luan Bird as its demonic aura stained the world.
• Han Miaojun gave Kui Mulang the Sarira, and he used it to form a black Buddha empowered by her secret technique.

• Lu Bei subdued Han Miaojun and Kui Mulang, took control of the Sarira, and struck them down with another palm.
• Han Miaojun, Kui Mulang, and a second figure resembling Han Miaojun fell from the void.

Lu Bei captured Kui Mulang and the two Han Miaojuns, rescued She Xuan from the Ice-Sealed Castle, and joined the others in searching the transformed secret realm for scattered treasures. After Zhu Xiushi sealed him to stop him from bringing hundreds of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples to loot the realm, the Grand Tutor remained aloof from Fox Two’s remarks about the Zhu household’s plans.

• Lu Bei seized Kui Mulang and the two Han Miaojuns, then tracked She Xuan and the Golden Scale Viper to the Ice-Sealed Castle and freed She Xuan from her icy cultivation chamber.
• Lu Bei sent She Xuan to Solitary Confinement after she mistook him for Zhulong, then watched the Man in Red shatter the ice wall and scatter its treasures throughout the secret realm.
• The Grand Tutor, Fox Two, and Zhu Xiushi arrived with treasures they had found, while Lu Bei complained about missing out and the Grand Tutor warned him about keeping Han Miaojun.
• Lu Bei searched the transformed realm with Fox Two and found a fire-poker-like magic treasure, while Zhu Xiushi urged everyone to leave before Mighty Chu objected.
• Lu Bei proposed bringing hundreds of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples back to search the realm, and Zhu Xiushi sealed him to prevent it as Fox Two told the Grand Tutor that the Zhu household was betting everything on the Millennial Divine Dynasty’s plan.

Lu Bei tried to avoid an unavoidable Heavenly Tribulation by learning the Nine Year Qi Circulation Method, which shrank him into an adorable child. He traveled to the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Lingxiao Sword Sect to gather reinforcements for the Mighty Chu Secret Realm, leaving Lin Buyan startled by his appearance and teasing him about undergoing tribulation.

• Lu Bei left Taifu in the Secret Realm to arrange deceptive formations, then returned after dark clouds and tracking lightning blocked his escape; Taifu could not advise him, so Fox Two suggested the Nine Year Qi Circulation Method.
• Lu Bei spent 5,000 Skill Points to learn the incomplete method, shrank to a 120-centimeter boy, and escaped Fox Two and Zhu Xiushi’s attempts to cuddle him.
• Lu Bei reached the Heavenly Sword Sect, where Lian Lin recognized him and relayed his order to gather the sect’s Spirit Transformation-stage disciples and elders at the Secret Realm.
• Lu Bei told Qin Fantian to bring Zhan Lexian along and then went to the Lingxiao Sword Sect to summon its people as well.
• Lü Buwang mistook Lu Bei for a child and fussed over him before Lin Buyan arrived; Lu Bei took the chief seat, demanded tea, and joked that Lin Buyan had heard he underwent the Heavenly Tribulation too.

Lu Bei gathered the Lingxiao Sword Sect and his senior sisters to enter the Mighty Chu Secret Realm, where Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu met the Grand Tutor and Fox Two. After Lu Bei discovered that his advancement had changed his Small World, Fox Two revealed that he had refined it into a magical treasure.

• Lu Bei teased Lin Buyan about reaching the Tribulation Stage, then told him about the Mighty Chu Secret Realm, and Lin Buyan prepared the Lingxiao Sword Sect to join the expedition.
• Lu Bei persuaded Bai Jin to go by mentioning that the Grand Tutor was in the secret realm, and he brought Bai Jin, Zhan Hongqu, and the assembled sect disciples to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
• The two sects entered the secret realm, where Qin Fantian took Zhan Lexian away and Lu Bei led Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu to the Grand Tutor.
• Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu tried to approach the Grand Tutor, who recognized their connection to Lu Bei, while Fox Two watched and joked about their relationships.
• Lu Bei inspected his Small World and panicked when he thought it was collapsing, but Fox Two told him he had refined it into a magical treasure.

Fox Two and the Grand Tutor examined Lu Bei’s Small World and found that its Yin and Yang had formed momentum, but it lacked the Five Elements and celestial foundations needed to grow. Lu Bei left to question King Yuanji about Han Miaojun, while Fox Two and the Grand Tutor began shaping the Sun, Moon, and Stars in his world.

• Fox Two surveyed Lu Bei’s vast Small World and used her Five Elements Beads to help it transform from illusion toward reality, but she found that it still lacked more than the Five Elements.
• The Grand Tutor identified the missing Sun, Moon, and Stars and said Han Miaojun’s knowledge of the Five Elements Creation Path might help complete the Small World.
• Lu Bei joked that he would persuade Han Miaojun by sleeping with her, then entered the Yin-Yang Gateway as Fox Two and the Grand Tutor started forming celestial bodies in his world.
• Lu Bei drained blood from the unconscious King Yuanji to fuel the Mighty Chu Three-Piece Set, then woke him and asked about Han Miaojun.
• King Yuanji resisted Lu Bei’s questions until Lu Bei mentioned a powerful man named Heart Moon Fox with a square seal, prompting King Yuanji to reconsider.

Lu Bei confronted the two divided versions of Han Miaojun, then began dual cultivation with her righteous side to gain experience and help her resist the demonic thoughts tormenting her Primordial Spirit. He left after learning that she still could not use the Five Elements Creation Path, and went to confront her wicked side.

• King Yuanji told Lu Bei about the origins of the two Han Miaojuns and asked him to bring the Longevity Seal for him to inspect.
• Lu Bei found Han Miaojun’s righteous side in Solitary Confinement and persuaded her to cooperate by warning that he might cultivate with her wicked side instead.
• Han Miaojun’s righteous side offered to grant any request if Lu Bei helped subdue her wicked side, and Lu Bei agreed to begin dual cultivation.
• Lu Bei and Han Miaojun cultivated together for two hours, and Lu Bei gained experience while her demonic thoughts vanished when they touched his Primordial Spirit.
• Han Miaojun said she could not yet use the Five Elements Creation Path, so Lu Bei left and went to the room holding her wicked side.

After escaping Solitary Confinement, Lu Bei used Dual Cultivation with both Han Miaojuns to strengthen himself and advanced his plans for the Small World and the Heaven Sword Sect’s pill business. Version 2.0 went live, and Xiao Fengxian led a group of Players toward Xiongchu after learning the sect had already left for a secret realm.

• Lu Bei left Solitary Confinement after completing Dual Cultivation with both Han Miaojuns, gaining strength while the two Mahayana Stage cultivators recovered from their injuries.
• Lu Bei told King Yuanji that Heart Moon Fox had driven Han Miaojun away, then considered how he might trade King Yuanji to the Old Zhu Family.
• Fox Two and the Grand Tutor remained in Lu Bei’s Small World as Lu Bei developed its celestial layout; Fox Two warned him that Han Miaojun could be dangerous.
• Lu Bei reflected on his rapid cultivation and anticipated income from the Heaven Sword Sect’s pill business, which now operated through the Huangji Sect’s former facilities.
• Version 2.0 went live, and the Players discovered that registration for the professional tournament had opened.
• Xiao Fengxian learned the Heaven Sword Sect had gone to Xiongchu to explore a secret realm, then agreed to lead other Players there while claiming they were from Xuanlong.

Lu Bei returned from the Mighty Chu secret realm, dealt with the Grand Tutor and his sect, then met Azure Dragon and learned that Ji Shuibao had to be kept alive. At Forget-Me-Not Peak, Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu laughed off Lu Bei’s claim that the Grand Tutor was jealous of them, leaving him determined to prove it.

• Xiao Fengxian and the other Players got lost while trying to sneak into Mighty Chu, while Lu Bei left the secret realm and returned its sect disciples to their homes.
• The Grand Tutor spent five days refining Lu Bei, then returned to Cloud Pavilion to investigate how to help him master Dao Rhyme and to examine the mystery of Uncle Kou.
• Lian Lin reported that Xiao Fengxian was missing, and Lu Bei dismissed the matter after hearing that she had likely gone to Mighty Chu.
• Lu Bei used eighteen skill books to unlock six Secondary Professions, gained ninety thousand Skill Points, and then failed to seize Zhu Qilan’s White Tiger destiny.
• Lu Bei told Azure Dragon that Ji Shuibao was being refined, and Azure Dragon ordered him to keep her alive and promised him an opportunity in a future secret realm.
• Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu dismissed Lu Bei’s claim that the Grand Tutor was jealous of them, so he vowed to become the Grand Tutor’s man and challenged them to keep their promise if he succeeded.

Lu Bei gathered the Nine Swords Elder and other cultivators to witness his Heavenly Tribulation, but news arrived that Mighty Chu had captured his disciple Xiao Fengxian and demanded King Yuanji in exchange. After Lu Bei sent the envoy away with a million taels as a labor fee, he called down his Tribulation from a crooked-neck tree, where dark clouds and purple lightning gathered overhead.

• Lu Bei repaired Zhi Yuan's clone and invited the Nine Swords Elder, Bai Jin, Zhan Hongqu, Zhan Lexian, and Lin Buyan to witness his Tribulation.
• Lian Lin reported that Mighty Chu had captured Xiao Fengxian and offered to exchange her for King Yuanji.
• Lu Bei ordered Lian Lin to give the Mighty Chu envoy a million taels, then insisted the payment come from the sect treasury.
• Lu Bei climbed a crooked-neck tree on a mountaintop, dismissed his cultivation, and called down the Heavenly Tribulation.
• Black clouds gathered and purple lightning writhed overhead as Lu Bei remarked that the wind was especially noisy.

Lu Bei faced a first Heavenly Tribulation far more powerful than expected, enduring wave after wave of lightning until he swallowed the Longevity Grass and the storm surged stronger still. He charged Yinglong and the lightning vortex, but a purple strike drove him into the abyss, where his Small World restarted and strange treasures and two fierce birds emerged from his body.

• Lu Bei began his tribulation in the wilderness, and the first nine lightning strikes destroyed the solitary peak beneath him.
• The lightning continued past nine bolts, forcing Lu Bei to fight through increasingly powerful waves and a manifestation of the Five Elements and Four Spirits.
• Lu Bei was overwhelmed by the Five Thunders Strike the Top, fell into the abyss, and swallowed Longevity Grass, briefly weakening the thunderclouds.
• The thunderclouds surged back, and Lu Bei attacked Yinglong with his Immortal Sword Intent and Five Elements powers before being struck by a purple pillar of lightning.
• A holy white lotus stopped the purple lightning from destroying Lu Bei's Small World, which began anew as a treasure pagoda, lotus platform, precious pearl, Golden Winged Great Peng, and Kunpeng emerged.

Lu Bei survived his tribulation and recovered from its lingering lightning injuries while his sect prepared to celebrate his breakthrough. Zhu Xiushi later visited him with news that Mighty Chu had sent an envoy to Yue Province, prompting Lu Bei to consider negotiations over his war spoils.

• Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu found Lu Bei after he emerged from the void and confirmed that he had passed his tribulation at the first level of the Tribulation Stage.
• Lu Bei returned to Cangqian Mountain, revealed that he was seriously injured by residual lightning, and received care from Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu.
• After two days, Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu left to cultivate, and Lu Bei entered his Small World to begin rebuilding it before visiting Han Miaojun in Solitary Confinement.
• Lu Bei examined the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform, Earth Element Bead, and Monster Derivation Pagoda as possible Tribulation Stage treasures.
• Zhu Xiushi congratulated Lu Bei, then told him that Mighty Chu had sent an envoy to Yue Province; Lu Bei discussed demanding compensation for King Yuanji and Mighty Chu's treasures.
