• After sleeping from exhaustion, Ji An began practicing the Yin Yang Cave True Art beneath the Gathering Origin Tree as Ayun lit Soul Nourishing Incense for him.

Ji An studied the moon’s Ghost Mushrooms, tested their ashes as fertilizer, and used the Stone Turtle’s renewed power to greatly advance his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. With his spirit treasures still recovering and the planet offering valuable mushrooms, Ji An considered delaying his departure to cultivate further.

• Ji An tested Ghost Mushroom ashes on several kinds of spirit trees and found they promoted Metal Element and Water Element plants, so he planted mushrooms in sealed plots.

• True Monarch Wuyue suggested staying on the planet to gather more Ghost Mushrooms, and Ji An said he would consider delaying their departure.

After a century exploring the moon, Ji An finished creating Yin and Yang Divine Thunder and gained a Yin and Yang Dao Seed. He chose to remain a few more days to improve his cultivation technique before departing.

• Ji An cultivated the Spirit Fields with improved spells, then shared a banquet with True Monarch Wuyue and Ayun and announced that he planned to leave the moon after completing Yin and Yang Divine Thunder.

• Ji An analyzed and redesigned his cultivation method, improving refining efficiency by more than fifty percent while reducing Soul Power consumption.
• True Monarch Wuyue broke through to Nascent Soul Layer 8, and he told Ji An about a Fourth-Tier Top-Grade Ghost Mushroom in the black Spiritual Field.

• After resting for two days, Ji An left the Gourd World and flew through the starry sky, using the Star Map and returning to cultivate during his most effective hours.
• After more than forty years, Ji An reached Geng Star and concealed himself outside its astral clouds before entering the Gourd World.

Ji An crossed Geng Star’s dangerous spatial currents and learned that a sealing formation now forced travelers to enter through teleportation arrays. After arriving in Yunshi City and getting oriented, he unexpectedly reunited with Miao You Sanren.

• Ji An used his defensive treasures and Yin and Yang insight to survive the freezing currents, spatial rifts, and powerful vortices on his way to Geng Star.
• A receiving formation teleported Ji An to a mountain, where Yunshi City guards explained that Star Lord Suyue’s sealing formation had changed the planet’s currents and established three teleportation arrays.

• Ji An flew to Yunshi City, learned its language, and spotted Miao You Sanren outside a shop.
• Miao You Sanren recognized Ji An and invited him to have a drink.

Ji An reunited with Miao You Sanren on Geng Star, learned that their home planet possessed a vulnerable Star Soul, and discussed the dangers surrounding its eventual maturation. Miao You Sanren then invited Ji An to consider joining an expedition for a Sky-Mending Lotus, which Ji An left undecided.

• Miao You Sanren hosted Ji An and asked how he had accumulated enough merit to reach the Three Flowers Realm so quickly.
• Ji An explained that his Farming Spells had let him earn merit by cleansing Demon Disaster contamination and transforming Spirit-Severing Lands.
• Miao You Sanren told Ji An that their home planet possessed a Star Soul whose maturation could attract powerful cultivators and endanger the planet.
• Ji An said he planned to stay on Geng Star for about ten years before traveling to Ziwei Star, while Miao You Sanren intended to remain longer.
• Miao You Sanren described a Sky-Mending Lotus that could accelerate the growth of Spirit Veins in a small world and invited Ji An to join an expedition against the Demonic Beast Clan guarding it.
• Ji An agreed to decide within two or three years, and Miao You Sanren continued the welcome feast.

Ji An settled into a Fourth-Tier Top-Grade cave dwelling in Yunshi City, rested after his journey, and began seeking ways to obtain resources and improve his treasures. He met with Zhong Yuan Sanren at Dan Yun Pavilion and agreed to trade some of his spiritual plant resources while pursuing seeds with fifth-tier potential.

• Ji An asked Miao You Sanren about lodging, artifact refiners, pill formulas, and ways to obtain fifth-tier resources on Geng Star.
• Miao You Sanren arranged for Ji An to rent a vacant cave dwelling, where Ji An paid with three hundred jin of Crimson Cloud Pine seeds and received its Restriction Jade Token.
• Ji An activated the cave dwelling's defenses, sent True Monarch Wuyue outside to stand guard, and slept for seven days and seven nights in the Gourd World.
• Ji An visited Dan Yun Pavilion with Miao You Sanren and told manager Zhong Yuan Sanren that he wanted to sell fourth-tier spiritual plant resources and buy seeds with fifth-tier potential.
• After reviewing Zhong Yuan Sanren's prices, Ji An agreed to trade and prepared to offer some spiritual fruits.

Ji An sold spiritual fruits to Dan Yun Pavilion, explored Yunshi City, and decided to join Miao You Sanren’s search for Sky-Mending Lotus. As the expedition’s departure remained decades away, Ji An raised his Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to the fifth tier, strengthening his combat power before the coming danger.

• Ji An exchanged his spiritual fruits for 240 Top-Grade Spirit Stones and received a distinguished guest jade token from Zhong Yuan Sanren after learning Dan Yun Pavilion’s terms for fifth-tier pill formulas and herbs.
• Ji An bought jade slips and an interstellar map, toured the trading district with Miao You Sanren, then let True Monarch Wuyue leave the Gourd World to explore Yunshi City.
• After studying Sky-Mending Lotus, Ji An decided to join Miao You Sanren’s expedition and focused on improving his cultivation and Natal Magic Treasure.
• Three years later, Miao You Sanren agreed with Zhong Ding Sanren to bring Ji An along, and they planned to depart in thirty to thirty-five years.
• Ji An nurtured the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner with the Primordial Life Fire until it reached the fifth tier and manifested its Earth Kirin.

Ji An strengthened his Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner and Earth Element spells, then helped Big Yellow undergo tribulation and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Years later, Zhong Ding Sanren announced that the Sky-Mending Lotus would mature soon and set a departure date for the group.

• Ji An discovered that his Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner’s Yin and Yang Qi greatly increased its defensive power, and he improved his Earth Element spells to better nourish the Gathering Origin Tree.
• Yue Ling'er said she was nearing a breakthrough to Nascent Soul Layer 8 and told Ji An that Big Yellow was ready to attempt the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Ji An took Big Yellow to a fourth-tier Spirit Vein, where Big Yellow chose to undergo tribulation outside the small world and successfully broke through and shapeshifted.
• Several years later, Miao You Sanren visited Ji An and brought him to meet Zhong Ding Sanren, who said the Sky-Mending Lotus would mature within months and the group would set out in half a month.
• Zhong Ding Sanren said Miao You and Qing Yue would be relied upon to break the Demonic Beast Clan’s mountain-protecting grand formation.

Ji An and the others agreed on how to divide the spoils before setting out to find the Sky-Mending Lotus. When Zhong Ding Sanren revealed that their destination was the dangerous Misty Mountain Range, the group debated whether to continue, and Ji An said the chance to obtain a fifth-tier high-grade lotus made the risk worth trying.

• Zhong Ding Sanren proposed taking thirty percent of the gains, with the two Formation Masters receiving twenty percent each and Ji An and Guang Tong Sanren splitting the rest; the group agreed to the plan and to auction any single item everyone wanted.
• Ji An shared Phoenix Dance Danxia Tea with Miao You Sanren, who warned that the Gold-Eating Beasts and their Three Flowers Realm great demons could make the mission dangerous and urged them to prepare an escape route.
• After half a month, Zhong Ding Sanren led the group west from Yunshi City, and they traveled for more than ten days before Guang Tong Sanren and Miao You Sanren pressed him to disclose their destination.
• Zhong Ding Sanren revealed that they were heading to Dragon Ridge in the Misty Mountain Range, within demonic cultivator territory, and admitted he had withheld the location partly to prevent the group from leaving or information from leaking.
• Zhong Ding Sanren said the target included a Sky-Mending Lotus suspected to be fifth-tier high-grade and promised to turn back if White Bone Monastery cultivators discovered them; Qing Yue Sanren warned of the range's dangers, but Ji An said the risk was worth trying.

Zhong Ding Sanren led Ji An and the others to the Gold-Devouring Beast territory to seize three Sky-Mending Lotuses, and the group used Qing Yue Sanren’s Three Waves Array to break through the natural array. The array fell after three days of attacks, leaving them poised to enter the valley and claim the lotuses.

• Qing Yue Sanren agreed to continue toward the Misty Mountain Range after Zhong Ding Sanren revealed that three Sky-Mending Lotuses awaited them and promised to retreat if the danger became too great.
• Ji An and Miao You Sanren discussed how to escape if needed, then Zhong Ding Sanren showed the group a map of the Gold-Devouring Beast territory and its lotus-filled pond.
• After inspecting the territory, Miao You Sanren and Qing Yue Sanren identified the natural array’s purpose and agreed on its weakest point.
• Qing Yue Sanren set up her fifth-tier low-grade Three Waves Array and instructed everyone to attack together while conserving their spiritual power.
• Two Three Flowers Realm Gold-Eating Beasts tried to drive the humans away, then attacked in their true forms, but the group continued assaulting the natural array.
• After three days, the natural array broke apart in a burst of spiritual light.

Ji An and the others reached the Sky-Mending Lotuses, where Ji An proved his Farming Spells could rapidly mature them. As the group gathered the first two lotuses to divide, Zhong Ding Sanren and Guang Tong Sanren suddenly attacked Ji An and Qing Yue Sanren.

• After the Gold-Devouring Beasts withdrew, Zhong Ding Sanren led the group through the mist toward the lake where the Sky-Mending Lotuses grew.
• Ji An judged that the lotuses needed more time to mature, but Zhong Ding Sanren and Guang Tong Sanren initially opposed using Farming Spells on them.
• Ji An cast the Virtuous Merit Spirit Nurturing Incantation on one low-grade lotus, which matured in just over four days as he had predicted.
• With the others convinced, Ji An used several Farming Spells to mature the second low-grade lotus and estimated that the high-grade lotus would need at least half a year.
• As the group gathered the lotus roots to divide their spoils, Zhong Ding Sanren and Guang Tong Sanren suddenly attacked Ji An and Qing Yue Sanren.

Ji An and his allies were trapped by Saint Lord Cang Ming and his Demon Seed-controlled accomplices inside the Mysterious Sky White Bone Formation. After Ji An killed Guang Tong Sanren and Zhong Ding Sanren with Yin and Yang Divine Thunder, the three began attacking the formation’s skeletons to open a way out.

• Zhong Ding Sanren and Guang Tong Sanren attacked Ji An, Miao You Sanren, and Qing Yue Sanren, then revealed their Three Flowers Realm Middle Stage cultivation and their alliance with Saint Lord Cang Ming of the White Bone Monastery.
• Saint Lord Cang Ming appeared at Three Flowers Realm Late Stage and revealed that Zhong Ding Sanren and Guang Tong Sanren were his Demon Seed-controlled pawns who had lured cultivators into the Misty Mountain Range.
• Cang Ming trapped the three cultivators inside the Mysterious Sky White Bone Formation, whose skeleton army advanced as the space sealed by the formation shrank.
• Qing Yue Sanren failed to escape or halt the skeletons, and Ji An found that Soaring Golden Light could not carry him through the formation’s barrier.
• Ji An used the Five Directions Banners to unleash Inverted Yin and Yang, then killed Guang Tong Sanren and Zhong Ding Sanren with successive strikes of Yin and Yang Divine Thunder.
• Ji An ordered Miao You Sanren and Qing Yue Sanren to attack the ground-bound skeletons, while he disrupted Cang Ming’s attacks and swept through the white bone soldiers with Divine Thunder.

Ji An and his allies fought Saint Lord Cang Ming and his Bone Demon Soldiers inside the Mysterious Sky White Bone Formation. With the Stone Turtle replenishing his power, Ji An held off Cang Ming until the enemy’s costs forced him to withdraw, leaving Ji An to guard his recovering companions.

• Saint Lord Cang Ming transformed into a demonic form and attacked, while Ji An warned Miao You Sanren and Qing Yue Sanren to avoid the eyes on the bone spear and led the defense.
• Ji An used the Five Directions Banners, Tai Bai Spirit Slaying Sword, and Yin and Yang Divine Thunder to hold back Cang Ming as Miao You Sanren and Qing Yue Sanren attacked the Bone Demon Soldiers.
• Cang Ming unleashed a life-risking secret art and swarms of demonic birds, forcing Ji An to use his Nascent Soul Manifestation while the Mysterious Sky White Bone Formation continued closing.
• The Stone Turtle supplied Ji An with pure Yin and Yang Qi, restoring his spiritual and soul power as he expanded his manifestation and strengthened his counterattack.
• After his Origin Blood was depleted and his cultivation began to decline, Cang Ming recalled the Bone Demon Soldiers and vanished; Miao You Sanren and Qing Yue Sanren thanked Ji An, who stood guard while Miao You Sanren recovered.

After defeating the White Bone Monastery cultivators, Ji An and his companions recovered, divided the Sky-Mending Lotus spoils, and escaped to Yunshi City. There, Ji An ate a piece of lotus root and discovered that it dramatically boosted his cultivation.

• Ji An sent True Monarch Wuyue to collect the fallen flesh of the Three Flowers Realm enemies while Saint Lord Cang Ming withdrew from the mist.
• Qing Yue Sanren dug up the mature Sky-Mending Lotuses, and she and Miao You Sanren agreed that Ji An could keep the enemy remains and receive the dead cultivators’ shares, while he gave each of them an extra lotus leaf.
• The three decided to leave before the White Bone Monastery could return, divided the immature Sky-Mending Lotus, and flew back to Yunshi City without stopping for seven days.
• Ji An and Miao You Sanren agreed that Miao You would refine a formation to activate the Sky-Mending Lotus’s laws, then Ji An returned to his cave abode and rested in the Gourd World.
• Ji An ate a segment of Fifth-Tier Low-Grade lotus root, refined its Five Elements spiritual energy and Yin and Yang Qi, and gained more cultivation than he had during many years in the starry sky.

Ji An cultivated the Gathering Origin Tree during his departure from Geng Star and reached Ziwei Star after the tree advanced to the fifth tier. He settled temporarily near a coastal city and learned the local language before entering.

• Ji An used ashes from a Three Flowers Realm cultivator to nourish the Gathering Origin Tree and asked Miao You Sanren for formations to improve his Spirit Vein and activate a Sky-Mending Lotus leaf's power of laws.
• Miao You Sanren delivered the formations, and Ji An activated them beneath the Gathering Origin Tree before leaving Geng Star.
• During more than twenty years of travel, Ji An fed the Gathering Origin Tree with resources and defeated two star beasts whose remains became fertilizer.
• Ji An sensed the Gathering Origin Tree beginning its fifth-tier transformation, and the Earth Kirin told him that the Five-Colored Flower was about to bloom.
• Two years later, the Gathering Origin Tree reached the fifth tier, and another year afterward Ji An arrived at Ziwei Star.
• Ji An circled Ziwei Star, chose a modest coastal city, bought language jade slips, and spent two months learning the local language.

Ji An arranged for Xuan Shuang Sanren to refine Miro Pills from his Sky-Mending Lotus and used one to improve his cultivation. After fifty years of steady cultivation, both his Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires broke through to the fifth tier and began merging under the Dao Seed’s influence.

• Ji An settled in Sea Star City, enlisted True Monarch Changfeng’s help, and instructed Green Deer and Rock Armor Bear to build ties with him.
• Xuan Shuang Sanren agreed to refine Miro Pills from Ji An’s lotus pods, with the two signing an agreement and Ji An paying the advance fee.
• Ji An planted twelve Sky-Mending Lotus seeds in the Gourd World and quickly raised them into young plants.
• A month later, Ji An received fifteen Miro Pills, swallowed one, and found its medicinal effect comparable to two sections of lotus root.
• After fifty years of cultivation, Ji An raised both Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires to the fifth tier, whereupon the Green Lotus Heart-Burning Fire and Nether Bone Fire began merging as the Dao Seed released spiritual radiance.

Ji An named his newly fused Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire the Yin Yang Spirit Fire and sought a fifth-tier pill furnace so he could resume refining Five Splendor Pills. After Que Yue Sanren agreed to discuss a custom furnace, the unusual fire astonished Xuan Shuang Sanren.

• Ji An named the black-and-white flame the Yin Yang Spirit Fire after discovering it could change its inner and outer colors and resonate with his Primordial Life Fire.
• Ayun reported that the Fusang Tree showed signs of advancing to the fifth tier, and the Li Di Flame Light Banner described its changing leaf colors.
• Ji An harvested nine mature Five-Colored Flowers, but the Yin Yang Spirit Fire proved too hot for the Frost Moon Furnace and its immature furnace spirit.
• Ji An asked Xuan Shuang Sanren where he could obtain a fifth-tier pill furnace, and she arranged for him to meet Que Yue Sanren.
• Que Yue Sanren advised Ji An not to raise the tiers of his flawed old furnaces and offered to craft a custom one after seeing his flame.
• Ji An displayed the Yin Yang Spirit Fire, and Xuan Shuang Sanren exclaimed that it was a Starry Sky Fire.

Ji An helped Que Yue Sanren assess his Yin Yang Spirit Fire and arrange a pill furnace refinement, then returned to cultivation and spell research. After eating a Fusang Tree mulberry, he created the Yin Yang Spirit Transformation Incantation, a powerful Farming Spell that advanced the Gourd World’s cultivation prospects.

• Ji An showed Que Yue Sanren his fused Yin Yang Spirit Fire, which proved unusually powerful for a Fifth-Tier Low-Grade flame.
• Que Yue Sanren devised a plan for a Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade pill furnace, offered to trade for missing materials, and corrected the materials list for Ji An’s Five Directions Banners.
• Ji An returned to secluded cultivation and spent more than ten years studying a spell that could nourish all kinds of Spirit Fields and spirit plants.
• The Fire Phoenix brought Ji An a golden mulberry from the Fusang Tree, and eating it revealed the yin and yang aspects of the Power of the Fire Element.
• Ji An created the Yin Yang Spirit Transformation Incantation, whose rain nourished different soils and spirit plants across the Gourd World.
• Ji An saw that the new spell had reached Major Accomplishment and increased his yang Dao Rhythm, but its vast coverage meant he would need a remote wilderness to improve it quickly.
