• Several Central State Great Powers asked Master Gu who had controlled the Ancestral Vein Immortal Root, but he remained dazed after seven days of divination.

Master Gu’s divination of Li Zhi revealed that he was a Person without Fate from outside the Ancient History, triggering a Heavenly Punishment that Master Gu mistakenly believed was aimed at him.

• The Great Powers who had invited Master Gu caught up with him and called for him to wait, leaving him dumbfounded with what they said.

Li Zhi continued steadily advancing through the Celestial Altar Realm while his monthly tribulations drew cultivators to Dragon Head Divine Mountain.

• A white-haired Great Power tried to seize the liquid inside the furnace, and Li Zhi warned him to stop, but the man ignored the warning and charged ahead.

Li Zhi used the Yin Yang Divine Furnace and Dragon Marrow to refine Immortal Qi into a Mortal Immortal Pill while the White Bone Immortal Slaying Platform kept other cultivators at bay. After emerging from the Dragon Egg and surviving his tribulation, he returned to the Qishi Mansion, while the Immortal Mansion World drew renewed attention from elderly cultivators seeking Immortal Qi.

• Li Zhi killed the Divine Wind Sect's Grand Elder with the White Bone Immortal Slaying Platform and warned the other cultivators not to cross his boundary.

• News that someone had obtained Immortal Qi renewed the major forces' interest in the Immortal Mansion World, where elderly cultivators began appearing in search of it.

He left to travel among ordinary people and joined a merchant caravan bound for the Imperial Capital of Chiyang Kingdom.

• Old cultivators searched for Li Zhi at Qishi Mansion, but the Old Mansion Lord suppressed them with Saintly Might and sent them away.
• The Old Mansion Lord explained that Li Zhi’s overly pure Immortal Platform and lack of Red Dust tempering had caused his cultivation bottleneck, so Li Zhi decided to travel through the mortal world.

After leaving the family that had hosted him, he found a son pleading with his mother in a ditch, and the old woman’s sudden fear suggested that something had happened to her.

• Li Zhi reached Yinlongchuan, played his Suona for a wedding procession, and sent the bride and her companions into the village amid auspicious visions.

Li Zhi reached Jia Family Village seeking Lu Renjia and Jin Yuming, but found Lu Renjia’s grave deep in the mountains. Contemplating life and the limits of the Emperor Path, Li Zhi’s Dao Heart strengthened and his remaining Immortal Qi was refined away, though the transformation ended in an embarrassing fart.

• Li Zhi froze a mud-dwelling creature that had swallowed the Old Woman’s legs, saving her life, and reflected on how ordinary people suffered through calamities.
• Li Zhi arrived at Jia Family Village and learned from the elders that Lu Renjia and Jin Yuming had gone into the mountains to gather herbs.
• Li Zhi entered the mountains and found a small temple built over Lu Renjia’s grave, with a tombstone erected by Jin Yuming.
• Li Zhi saw Lu Renjia’s corpse undergoing Dao Dissolution and questioned the value of life and the Emperor Path’s promise of longevity.
• Li Zhi’s Dao Heart became firm, his primordial spirit’s Immortal Light cleansed his Immortal Platform, and his body absorbed his remaining Immortal Qi.
• Li Zhi expelled the transformation’s impurities with a loud fart that filled the small temple with a foul stench.

• The Great Master began teaching Li Zhi the final three chapters of the Calculation Scripture in Li Zhi’s Study Room while Jin Yuming guarded them.

He reached Qin City, where rumors of the Ancient Dragon Lair had drawn cultivators from across the world, and prepared to meet Duan De.

• The Great Master of Heavenly Calculation taught Li Zhi the Calculation Scripture through the Wisdom Divine Lamp, then used up his remaining Divine Thought Power and disappeared.
• Li Zhi left the Study Room and saw that Jin Yuming had built Renjia Academy around the Great Master of Heavenly Calculation’s tomb.
• Li Zhi arranged the academy’s feng shui and Dragon Lair, then Jin Yuming hosted a feast and explained that he would stay in Yinlongchuan for three hundred years.

• Li Zhi examined Qinling’s extraordinary Yin and Yang Qi, then went to Qin City to meet Duan De before their one-year deadline.
• Li Zhi found Qin City crowded with cultivators drawn by rumors of the Ancient Dragon Lair and settled into an inn to prepare for his next breakthrough.

After reorganizing his cultivation, Li Zhi joined Duan De, You Zilong, and Ao Tian to search the Qinling Mountains for the Earth Book. Li Zhi located an underwater burial ground beneath an Immortal Lake, then warned the others that a group of Old Fossils was about to emerge.

• Li Zhi spent half a month consolidating his cultivation before contacting Duan De, who had arrived in Qin City with You Zilong and Ao Tian.
• Duan De and Li Zhi learned that You Zilong and Ao Tian were seeking the Earth Book and planned to reach the Earth Treasury World.
• Duan De told Li Zhi that the Earth Book was a lost Earth Master inheritance created by a peerless prodigy who died during a Heavenly Tribulation.
• At an Immortal Lake, Li Zhi used his Heavenly Eye to detect hidden Death Qi and agreed to help locate the underwater burial ground in exchange for a copy of the Earth Book.
• Li Zhi piloted an Earth-Splitting Shuttle into the lake and soon burst back out, warning that a group of Old Fossils was about to break through.

Li Zhi and Duan De accompanied You Zilong and Ao Tian into the burial grounds beneath the lake in search of the Earth Treasury Land. After You Zilong and Ao Tian left to find reinforcements for the Black Rock Barrier, Li Zhi dug through it with his Luoyang Shovel, and Duan De identified the shovel as a fragment of a weapon far beyond a Generational Saint Soldier.

• Li Zhi warned the group that puppet Yin Soldiers were about to emerge from the underwater burial ground, and Ao Tian destroyed them with his sword.
• The group entered the burial tunnels, where Ao Tian killed two Silver-Winged Yakshas and, with help from the others, defeated a Black Gold Ape.
• Li Zhi carried the group deeper with the Earth-Splitting Shuttle until they reached the Black Rock Barrier, which You Zilong failed to penetrate with the Dragon Seeking Vajra Drill.
• You Zilong and Ao Tian left to find a powerful weapon, while Li Zhi and Duan De returned underground to work on the barrier.
• Li Zhi easily dug a passage through the Black Rock Barrier with his Luoyang Shovel, and Duan De deduced that the shovel was part of a sealed Top-Grade Quasi-Emperor weapon set, possibly an Imperial Weapon.

Li Zhi and Duan De dug through the Black Rock Forbidden Stone and Azure Paste Divine Mud to reach a World Stone that contained the Earth Treasury Small World. Duan De used Divine King Saint Blood to open it, and they entered a blood-red realm filled with ghostly wails, thunder, and drifting red hairs.

• Duan De explained that their winding Robber's Tunnel followed his Nine Bends God Burying Array, while You Zilong and Ao Tian brought hundreds of cultivators to the Black Rock Stone Wall.
• You Zilong's martial uncle used the Yin Probing Claw to dig into the Black Rock Forbidden Stone, but his group advanced only several dozen zhang a day.
• After nine days, Li Zhi dug through the Black Rock Forbidden Stone, and Duan De led him through a passage in the soul-absorbing Azure Paste Divine Mud.
• Li Zhi opened a hole in the Darkwood Wall, revealing a World Stone that Duan De identified as a demon-sealing cage carrying powerful Curse Power.
• Duan De protected them with the Lid of the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Pot, poured Divine King Saint Blood onto the Stone Drum, and opened a Light and Shadow Portal.
• Duan De pulled Li Zhi through the portal into a blood-red realm where scarlet thunder struck the ground and red hairs swirled through the air.

Li Zhi and Duan De searched a ruined Small World filled with Red Hair and uncovered a Nine Heavens Breathing Earth coffin containing a Red-Haired Monster and the Earth Book. They retrieved the Mud Slab bearing the Earth Book, but its conflicting powers made it unusable, so they considered shaving off its inscribed surface and refining the rest.

• Duan De used Sacred Essence Blood and the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Pot's lid to suppress the Red-Haired Cyclones, then searched the Small World with Li Zhi.
• Li Zhi and Duan De found Divine Source Stone Skin and a half-finished Stone Garment among the ruins, but found no trace of the Earth Book aboveground.
• Duan De used a Dragon Seeking Ruler to locate a Dragon Vein, and Li Zhi dug down to an underground chamber containing a Red-Hair-covered Stone Pillar and Yellow Mud Coffin.
• Duan De opened the coffin and found a Red-Haired corpse bearing a Corpse Suppressing Talisman; Li Zhi noticed the Earth Book's engraved Mud Slab beneath it.
• Duan De flipped the coffin and removed the Mud Slab, revealing the Earth Book, but its mixed powers prevented them from using it.
• Li Zhi suggested shaving off the inscribed side of the Mud Slab and refining the remainder with the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Pot's lid, and Duan De agreed to try.

Li Zhi and Duan De split the Mud Slab and recovered two washbasin-sized Breathing Earth Mud Embryos, but a Red-Haired Monster awakened and attacked them. Li Zhi destroyed it with his Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Pool, then endured a tenfold-strength tribulation and collapsed in the Robber's Tunnel after escaping the Small World.

• Li Zhi used the Heaven Transformation Divine Palm to split the Mud Slab, and Duan De removed the strange power so they each obtained a Breathing Earth Mud Embryo.
• A Red-Haired Monster emerged from the Yellow Mud Coffin, attacked Duan De, and grew stronger when Li Zhi's Immortal Slaying Sword Qi provoked it.
• Duan De's own blood wounded the monster, which fled through the cavern roof; Duan De collected the coffin and talisman before pursuing it with Li Zhi.
• Li Zhi drew down his Heavenly Tribulation and trapped the monster in the Supreme Thunder Pool, reducing it to ashes, while Duan De escaped the collapsing Small World with him.
• Li Zhi endured a tenfold-strength tribulation outside the Small World for over an hour, then flew into the Robber's Tunnel and lost consciousness in the Immortal Juice Jade Liquid.

You Zilong and the other cultivators investigated the abyss after a terrifying Heavenly Punishment, only to find a Red-Haired Monster emerging from Li Zhi and Duan De’s tunnel. You Zilong died using a Heavenly Tribulation to wound the monster, while Ao Tian escaped and vowed to avenge him.

• You Zilong and the other Great Powers feared the ominous Curse Power in the abyss, and most of them left without entering it.
• You Zilong, Ao Tian, and the Earth Master lineage Great Power approached the Robber's Tunnel, where the Red-Haired Monster emerged and killed the Great Power.
• The Red-Haired Monster shattered their attacks, killed the Earth Master lineage Great Power, and severely injured Ao Tian as You Zilong fought it.
• You Zilong used the Earth Master lineage’s Burning Life Essence Dragon Transformation and battled the monster while Ao Tian retreated.
• You Zilong broke through to the Immortal Two Great Power realm and summoned a Heavenly Tribulation, then clung to the Red-Haired Monster so the thunder would strike it.
• Ao Tian escaped vowing to avenge You Zilong, who was struck to ashes by the Heavenly Thunder after the monster began to suffer wounds.
