Li Zhi accepted the Immortal Crane Clan’s invitation to cultivate atop Wang Kong Platform, while its Old Patriarch tried to earn his favor and protect the clan’s future.

• Li Zhi opened 365 acupoints throughout his body and placed a wisp of primordial spirit power in each one.

Li Zhi cultivated his fifth Sea of Wheels Phenomenon, the Myriad Stars Diagram, on Wang Kong Platform and refined the Star Power he had gathered. The feat pushed him through a bottleneck into the Immortal Two Ninth Small Step, though his physical strength increased by less than five percent.

• Li Zhi absorbed Star Essence into 365 acupoints and used Wang Kong Platform to draw down Celestial Star Power, forming Star Cores and a Star Chart within his body.

• The Old Patriarch of Immortal Crane Clan, Old Rhinoceros, and another Human Great Power watched Li Zhi's formidable Blood Qi Furnace and speculated about his strength and the Myriad Stars Diagram.
• Thunder broke overhead as Li Zhi's cultivation surged, forcing him to break through into the Immortal Two Ninth Small Step; his physical strength rose by less than five percent.
• Li Zhi concluded that cultivating more Sea of Wheels Phenomena released more of his body's potential, while the Sage Dao Barrier prevented him from advancing his physical body to Saint level before reaching the King Realm.

• The Son of Heaven's memories of Li Zhi made him uneasy, so he entered the Trial Ground to fight the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Martial Dao Incarnation.

• After learning that Auguli’s force was approaching the Divine City, Li Zhi told Mengzhang and the others to stay behind and went out to meet them alone.

• Surrounded in a remote valley, Li Zhi used his Speech Art to question whether the Son of Heaven cared about his followers and urged them to seek independence from the ancient clans.
• Auguli broke free of Li Zhi’s influence enough to insist that they obey the Son of Heaven’s order, though her killing intent had diminished.

• After a maid restored his confidence, the Son of Heaven declared that he would have someone else act against Li Zhi.

Li Zhi tracked the Son of Heaven to intercept him and obtain the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Scripture. After the Holy Prince attacked the Son of Heaven, Li Zhi isolated him in a starry space, but the Son of Heaven fled in terror when he saw Li Zhi.

• The Son of Heaven decided to visit Blood Phoenix Mountain, and Li Zhi located the secret valley where he was hiding.
• Five days later, Li Zhi followed the Son of Heaven’s Phoenix Chariot toward Blood Phoenix Mountain.

• Li Zhi separated the Son of Heaven from his escort and asked to borrow the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Scripture.
• The frightened Son of Heaven transformed into his Immortal Phoenix form and flew into the starry sky to escape Li Zhi.

Li Zhi discovered that the Son of Heaven feared him because stealing his Source Dao Seal years earlier had left a lasting imprint, and he erased the Son of Heaven’s memories of their encounter. Afterward, Li Zhi brooded over being remembered as a pervert and abandoned the idea of treating the Son of Heaven as a worthy opponent.

• Li Zhi explained that he had watched the Holy Prince ambush the Son of Heaven and had intended to act himself, then the two returned to the Oasis and went to Bishui City.
• Over a meal, the Holy Prince asked whether Li Zhi was connected to the Son of Heaven, and Li Zhi said he had resolved their karma and had no further connection to him.
• The Holy Prince proposed sparring and discussing the Dao with Li Zhi, who agreed because both were ninth-level Immortal Two cultivators facing the Severing Dao Heavenly Pass.

Li Zhi and the Dragon Lady entered the legendary Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl Dao Realm, where they gained insights into their bloodlines and Dao laws. After Li Zhi left, Heaven and Earth treated his Golden Divine Dragon form as a newly born life-form and forced him through a month-long tribulation, leaving him with an independent dragon incarnation.

• Li Zhi used the Myriad Dragon Bell to draw the Dragon Lady into the Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl Dao Realm, where their primordial spirits formed a Purple Gold Divine Dragon.

• Li Zhi left the Dao Realm and flew into the Outer Realm Starry Sky as a Golden Divine Dragon, while the Dragon Lady awoke and ordered the Kings to go home.
• A sudden Heavenly Tribulation attacked Li Zhi with Thunder Dragons and Thunder Phoenixes, and he fought for a month before surviving and restoring himself with Divine Source.
• Li Zhi realized the tribulation had made the Golden Divine Dragon an independent life-form that could survive separately from him.

Li Zhi returned, rescued them with a glance that subdued the Primordial Era Creatures, and departed for Divine City with his maids and White Deer.

• A dog-headed Primordial Era Creature attacked Mengzhang’s group, and Mengzhang killed it with the White Bone Immortal Slaying Saber Li Zhi had given her.

• After the Primordial Era Creatures departed, Black Tiger Hu Liqiang and Golden Sheep Yang Dali resolved to preserve their friendship with White Deer.

Li Zhi entered Falling Eagle Cliff to temper his body, primordial spirit, and Longevity Great Dao in the laws left by ancient Ancestor Kings. After a year of Grinding Dao, he emerged with a condensed Dao Seed, though his cultivation had fallen to less than half its former level.
