He revealed a Nine Dragons Guarding a Pearl formation beneath the Savage Ancient World and asked Duan De whether he could sense traces of the Immortal Path.

• After the Beast Tide calmed, Li Zhi met Duan De, Ye Fan, and Dongfang Ye and said he planned to build his foundation further before advancing beyond the Nine Heavens of Dragon Transformation.
• The four entered the Immortal Mansion World, and Li Zhi invited Dongfang Ye to join them when the Immortal Burial Ground opened.
• Li Zhi showed the others a sand table marking nine underground Top-Grade Yin Dragon Veins converging at a Dragon Pearl, where Immortal Soil might form, then asked Duan De about traces of the Immortal Path.

In the marshes, they joined the Western Desert Girl and Heavenly Blind Old Man, and Li Zhi effortlessly killed a swarm of God-Slaying Insects.

Li Zhi and his companions entered the Heaven-Connecting Land, where he recognized that the ancient caves and cliffs concealed mostly empty tombs and warned others against being driven mad by the place's influence. He and Jue Youqing reached a Great Emperor Dao Diagram, and Li Zhi urged the gathered cultivators to comprehend it as a chance to improve their prospects of attaining the Dao.

• Li Zhi and his companions failed to find the God-Slaying Insect Nest, then crossed the marsh while the Heavenly Blind Old Man seized an opening to pass the two beast kings.
• The Heavenly Blind Old Man divined that most tombs beneath the Immortal Cliffs had already been emptied, and Li Zhi said outsiders would soon open the true Great Emperor tombs.
• Li Zhi left with Jue Youqing, and the two used their voices to calm cultivators whose greed and killing intent had been stirred by the Heaven-Connecting Land.
• Li Zhi and Jue Youqing arrived at a cliff covered in ancient patterns, which Li Zhi identified as a Great Emperor Dao Diagram containing the Great Dao True Meaning.
• Li Zhi claimed that comprehending the diagram could greatly increase one's chance of attaining the Dao, prompting the gathered prodigies and Half-step Great Powers to begin studying it.

Li Zhi comprehended the Heavenly Dao Natural Diagram and briefly entered a mysterious state beyond the Ten Thousand Daos, revealing that the diagram cultivated the mind rather than teaching a Great Emperor’s techniques. After explaining a method for approaching its Great Dao True Meaning, he watched Jue Youqing and the others attempt it, with Jue Youqing showing the clearest change.

• Li Zhi entered a transcendent Dao Realm as the Mysterious Immortal Tree and Life Divine Coffin lifted him above the cultivators, radiating an aura that resembled an Ancient Great Emperor’s.

• When screams came from behind, Li Zhi released the trapped Xiao Family Half-step Great Power and hurled him toward them; a shadow proved impervious to attacks and seized two Xiao Family Half-step Great Powers by the throat.
• Duan De recognized the shadow as the Deity's Thought.

Li Zhi and Old Blind Man escaped the Underground Palace after restraining a Deity's Thought, which then slaughtered the cultivators left inside. As powerful figures opened the Divine Burial Ground by force, a Divine Mountain appeared, and the chapter ended with them opening its Stone Gate.

• Li Zhi chanted a scripture that weakened the Deity's Thought, and Old Blind Man helped him hold it back while Ye Fan and the others fled the Underground Palace.
• After Li Zhi and Old Blind Man escaped, the unrestrained Deity's Thought killed the cultivators remaining inside and vanished deeper into the palace.
• The Immortal Cliffs and 365 Stone Mountains collapsed, and an ancient Divine Mountain rose from underground as Li Zhi warned that the Immortal Mansion World might collapse.

• After Old Blind Man divined that fortune outweighed danger, he, Duan De, Ye Fan, and Dongfang Ye entered the Stone Gate, while Li Zhi and Jue Youqing stayed behind.
• Li Zhi used Jue Youqing’s Power of Faith to activate a concealed altar, and the two traveled through the empty dwelling to a Great Lake and flew up a Heavenly Stairway into a Primordial Small World.
• Li Zhi and Jue Youqing found Duan De and the others beneath a Fire Tree King, where Ye Fan took three Golden Crow Eggs and a Saint’s Bone from a Black Nest.
• Li Zhi found an Immortal Tears Green Gold page in the nest and recognized it as containing the Dragon Transformation and Celestial Platform chapters of the Sun True Scripture.
• The others failed to memorize the page’s Primordial Divine Script, so Li Zhi offered to translate it and Ye Fan handed him the Scripture.

• Inside the Magic Artifact, Li Zhi broke free of the Taiyin Power and used his Nine-colored Flame to expel the Taiyin Qi from his body.

After memorizing Taihuang’s Dao diagrams, he left the Immortal Burial Ground and began transcending his own tribulation to refine the Immortal Essence Dao Qi.

• Ye Fan began comprehending the Taihuang Great Dao by the Deity Ancient Coffin, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation that drove the cultivators from the Jade Platform.
• Li Zhi and Jue Youqing stayed behind as Li Zhi placed the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s frozen divine skin on his Three-layered Altar and chanted until Great Dao fragments emerged.
• Li Zhi comprehended the fragments and formed a Five-colored Immortal Phoenix Dao Seal before destroying the altar and advising Jue Youqing to temper herself with Ye Fan’s Heavenly Tribulation.
• Li Zhi memorized the five source Dao diagrams inside the coffin, then left the platform as Jue Youqing began her own Thunder Tribulation.
• Li Zhi absorbed the Immortal Mist, entered the Thunder Sea outside the Immortal Burial Ground, and used the Heavenly Thunder and his Immortal Phoenix Dao Seal to refine the Immortal Essence Dao Qi.

• After three more months of cultivation, Li Zhi could no longer suppress his progress and decided to ascend to the Immortal Platform Realm.

Li Zhi broke through into the Celestial Altar Realm at sea and endured a tremendous Heavenly Tribulation while using the Primordial Longevity Art to forge his Primordial Spirit. After the storm passed, a lightning cauldron remained behind, and cultivators gathered around it, mistaking it for a treasure being nurtured by heaven and earth.

• Li Zhi chose the sea at the edge of the Immortal Mansion World as the site of his breakthrough, then opened his Immortal Platform and entered the Celestial Altar Realm.
• A vast Heavenly Tribulation descended, and Li Zhi’s Primordial Spirit circulated the Celestial Platform Chapter of the Primordial Longevity Art to begin forging a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.
• Li Zhi gathered the thunder into a giant lightning cauldron and endured its refining power until the Heavenly Tribulation ended.
• Cultivators who approached the remaining cauldron tried to seize it, but its lightning turned many of them into Tribulation Ash.
• Veteran seniors arrived and concluded that a Supreme Immortal Treasure was being nurtured inside the cauldron.

Shen Youzhi warned Jin Yuming that the Lightning Giant Cauldron would trigger a deadly calamity, but the visions of an apparent Immortal Pill drew cultivators into danger. After Gu Ling killed messengers trying to summon reinforcements, Shen Youzhi and Jin Yuming waited for the outcome and found the sea covered with corpses.

• Shen Youzhi told curious cultivators that the Immortal Burial Ground had yielded the Human Race Mother Scriptures and a mysterious Immortal Canon, while Xu Cang and Gu Ling discussed the search for those treasures inside the Eight Steeds Jade Chariot.

• After a young Daoist flew away, Shen Youzhi divined a favorable omen and took Jin Yuming to the deep-sea region, where they found corpses covering the water without obvious wounds.

After Shen Youzhi and Jin Yuming investigated the mass deaths in the sea, Li Zhi reflected on his breakthrough into the Celestial Altar Realm and the slaughter that accompanied it. As rumors spread and Qishi Mansion chose not to intervene, the Immortal Mansion World remained dangerous.

• Shen Youzhi and Jin Yuming found the dead cultivators stripped of their possessions and remnant souls, then discovered that Gu Ling and Xu Cang had also been killed.

• Li Zhi settled beneath an Ancient Cypress, brewed tea, and waited for a fated visitor while considering the bloodshed along the cultivation path.
• Rumors about the sea-region deaths spread, and Qishi Mansion’s Old Mansion Lord told the Current Mansion Lord that its cultivators had to face the risks of the Emperor Road Competition themselves.

Shen Youzhi and Jin Yuming found Li Zhi and invited him to guard the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Fate Celestial Maiden, but he refused. Jin Yuming stayed with Li Zhi and offered his master’s Calculation Scripture, whose mathematical principles captivated him.

• Jin Yuming told Shen Youzhi that his master, Lu Renjia, was the renowned Great Master of Heavenly Calculation, known for analyzing information through extraordinary mathematical skill.
• Following Lu Renjia’s advice to stop at mountains and retreat at water, Shen Youzhi and Jin Yuming found Li Zhi drinking tea on a mountaintop.
• Shen Youzhi warned Li Zhi that factions were searching for him and offered thirty-six drops of Top-grade Dragon Marrow if he guarded the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Fate Celestial Maiden for a hundred years.
• Li Zhi rejected the offer and the Fate Ancient Scripture, arguing that the Celestial Maiden should confront fate herself; Shen Youzhi left, while Jin Yuming remained.
• Jin Yuming gave Li Zhi the Calculation Scripture, and Li Zhi was astonished by its opening and its account of mathematics as a way to understand the principles of all things.
