At Qixia Plain, Ye Fan defeated Yuan Gu in a fierce battle watched by the era’s greatest young cultivators. Li Zhi studied Ye Fan’s nine innate Sea of Wheels Phenomena and the Purple Mansion Saintess’s Innate Dao Embryo, while considering the secrets of physiques and a path to longevity.

• The Holy Sons, Saintesses, demon cultivators, Primordial Era Ancestor Kings, and descendants of Ancient Emperor Bloodlines gathered to watch Ye Fan and Yuan Gu at Qixia Plain.

• A Half-Saint and other Primordial Era cultivators under the Son of Heaven blocked Li Zhi and accused him of ambushing the Divine Son outside Jade Pool.
• Li Zhi warned the group not to blame him if anything happened, then called down Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder and vanished as their overlapping tribulations filled Qixia Plain.

After Ye Fan slew Yuan Gu, Li Zhi reflected on his chosen Longevity Path and returned to his Dao Field, only to find it surrounded by an alliance of Primordial race and human forces. His followers explained that the Primordial races had come to claim the Dao Field while they believed he was dead.

After distributing the spoils and preparing treasures for his family, he began nurturing a Stone Dragon and refining an incarnation to accompany Ye Fan to Earth.

• Li Zhi greeted the Primordial Era cultivators at his mountain gate and brought them to the Heaven Sacrifice Plaza, where he demanded atonement for their attack on his Dao Field.

• Li Zhi flew over to Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others and greeted them.

• The chapter explained how Li Zhi’s understanding let him cultivate multiple Sea of Wheels Phenomena and perceive the Great Dao through the principle of transforming the false into the true.

Li Zhi formed his ninth Sea of Wheels Phenomenon, Pangu Creates the World, splitting his Sea of Wheels Realm into worlds of life and death. The new realms became unstable, and the Great Dao Heavenly Pillar around Longevity Mountain began to shake.

• Li Zhi’s cultivation triggered a vast Great Dao phenomenon, and Mengzhang ordered Hongye to activate the array that concealed the Dao Field from outsiders.
• The Great Powers gathered outside the Seven Stars Dao Field sensed Li Zhi’s aura, speculated about his cultivation and his dealings with the Primordial Era Races, and decided to remain nearby.

• The Light of the Great Dao split Li Zhi’s Sea of Wheels Realm into separate worlds of life and death, connected by a bridge formed from the Life Spring and Divine Bridge.
• Li Zhi’s portals rearranged to connect to the appropriate realms, but the scripture forming from his Dao Sound remained blurred, the two worlds began to destabilize, and the Great Dao Heavenly Pillar shook violently.

Li Zhi’s attempt to open all ten Sea of Wheels Phenomena destabilized his cultivation, causing a disaster that spread across the Southern Domain before a White-Robed Fairy suppressed it. Li Zhi remained in danger as his Worlds of Life and Death threatened to collide, and the fairy appeared before him to study his Sea of Wheels Realm.

• The Four Great Maidservants, the Kirin Beast, and Divine Deer Little Bai watched the Great Dao Pillar shake as Li Zhi’s Worlds of Life and Death began to collide.
• An altar and marks of destroyed worlds appeared within the pillar, spreading an aura of death that brought blood rain, Yellow Springs, and grief across the mountains and much of the Southern Domain.
• The Void Ancient Mirror, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone reacted to the spreading disaster as ancient figures sensed the crisis.
• A White-Robed Fairy appeared above the Southern Domain and erased the thunder, blood rain, Yellow Springs, and grief with a wave of her hand.
• Li Zhi struggled to keep his Worlds of Life and Death apart, but the ten Sea of Wheels Phenomena resisted fusing into a Realm Wall.
• The White-Robed Fairy appeared before Li Zhi and silently observed his Sea of Wheels Realm, while he remained unaware of her presence.

Li Zhi completed a new structure for his Sea of Wheels Realm and gained ten linked phenomena, while strange events near the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone drew powerful figures to the Southern Domain. The reappearance of the Great Completion Holy Physique strengthened Li Zhi’s resolve to pursue longevity, and he learned from Mengzhang what his companions had witnessed during his seclusion.

• A mysterious White-Robed Fairy harmonized Li Zhi’s clashing Sea of Wheels Phenomena, merging them into a world that joined his Sea of Wheels Realm and completed the Wheel and Sea Scroll scriptures.
• Li Zhi tested the ten linked Sea of Wheels Phenomena and discovered that the Boundless Sea Longevity Sacrifice could destroy a Sage Small World, though he sensed it might bring Heavenly Punishment.
• As terrifying phenomena near the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone drew experts to Yan State, a Great Emperor aura spread across Heaven and Earth and the Great Completion Holy Physique appeared before vanishing into the Southern Domain wilderness.
• Li Zhi emerged from seclusion, reflected on the Great Completion Holy Physique’s limited lifespan, and resolved to prioritize the Longevity Path over battle prowess.
• The Kirin Beast and the others rushed to Li Zhi, and Mengzhang recounted the phenomena they had witnessed, leaving him dumbfounded.

Li Zhi began preaching the newly perfected Wheel and Sea Scroll of his Great Dao Longevity Scripture to his disciples, while his own Sea of Wheels Realm continued evolving. The chapter ended with his Life World transformed into the Longevity Immortal Realm and his Death World forming a Nine-layered Platform.

• The Kirin Beast’s comments led the Four Great Maidservants and Divine Deer Little Bai to suspect Li Zhi was a Forbidden Zone Scion, so Li Zhi explained that the earlier phenomena had accompanied his scripture’s emergence.
• Li Zhi announced that his Great Dao Longevity Scripture’s Wheel and Sea Scroll was perfected and invited his disciples to hear his first sermon.
• The next morning, Li Zhi began preaching to the Four Great Maidservants, the Kirin Beast, Divine Deer Little Bai, and a Golden Divine Egg, drawing them into a Dao Realm to witness his scripture.

He returned to his Dao Field with greatly increased longevity, while the Divine Egg vanished and its identity remained unknown.

• Li Zhi evolved Yin Mountain, the Nether River, and the Nine Halls within his Sea of Wheels Realm, then formed a Reincarnation Passage between the Yin and Yang realms.
• Li Zhi completed all ten chapters of the scripture and reached the Great Accomplishment King level, triggering a Heavenly Dao Tribulation that drew him into the Outer Realm Starry Sky.
• The awakened Four Great Maidservants, Kirin Beast, and Divine Deer Little Bai found the Divine Egg missing after it vanished from the Great Hall; they debated whether it held Li Zhi's future disciple.
• Mengzhang said the lecture had given her enough understanding to aim for the Immortal Two Great Power Realm, while Little Bai said the scripture could increase cultivators' lifespans by thirty percent.
• Li Zhi returned after half a month of tribulation, having become a Great Accomplishment King and reduced the rate at which time eroded his Wheel of Life by half.

After becoming a Great Accomplishment King, Li Zhi celebrated at the Seven Stars Dao Field and explained Xiaojin’s origins and cultivation to his attendants. The Shaking Light Holy Son invited him to the Feathered Ancestral Temple, but Li Zhi questioned how its location had been discovered.

• The Shaking Light Holy Son invited Li Zhi to visit the Feathered Ancestral Temple in the Central State to seek its insights, fortune, and rare immortal materials.
• Li Zhi asked how the Shaking Light Holy Land and the Four Immortal Dynasties had found the temple, since it should have vanished after the Feathered Divine Dynasty was destroyed.

Li Zhi revealed how Shaking Light Holy Land learned about the Feathered Ancestral Temple, then discussed Life Origin and cultivation with Shaking Light Holy Son. He explained that understanding the Great Dao mattered more than relying on inherited scriptures, leaving Shaking Light Holy Son with a new perspective on his pursuit of a Chaos Body.

• Li Zhi questioned Shaking Light Holy Son about the Feathered Ancestral Temple, and Shaking Light Holy Son admitted that the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron had revealed it to Shaking Light Holy Land.
• Shaking Light Holy Son offered a Great Emperor Ancient Scripture in exchange for Li Zhi's insight into changing Life Origin, and Li Zhi recognized his cultivation of Ruthless Great Emperor's Indestructible Heavenly Art.
• Li Zhi explained that physiques were Dao Seeds bearing different laws and that a cultivator seeking a Chaos Body had to comprehend the Chaos Great Dao before relying on a cultivation method.
• Shaking Light Holy Son listened sincerely as Li Zhi argued that inherited scriptures could become shackles and that peerless cultivators needed to create their own paths toward the Emperor Path.
• Shaking Light Holy Son gained a deeper understanding of the Mortal Physique and his cultivation, while Li Zhi compared Great Emperor scriptures to mountain steps that could not carry later cultivators to a new summit.

Li Zhi discussed cultivation with the Shaking Light Holy Son, who left him a secret art and a token granting access to the Central State Ancestral Temple. Li Zhi then set out with the Kirin Beast for the temple, arriving at the cursed remains of the Feathered Ancestral Vein.

• Li Zhi explained how a self-created scripture could avoid the limits of inherited Great Emperor Ancient Scriptures, prompting the Shaking Light Holy Son to reconsider his cultivation method.

• The Kirin Beast found the Ancestral Vein gloomy and deathly, and Li Zhi explained that Ruthless Great Emperor had destroyed the Dragon Vein after the Feathered Divine Dynasty fell.

Li Zhi searched the ruined Ancestral Vein beneath the Feathered Ancestral Temple and found an Yin Dragon Pearl before heading to the crowded gathering outside. There, he approached Huo Qilinzi and Huo Lin'er, but a Fire Qilin Cave Ancestor King stepped in to question him.

• Li Zhi entered the Dragon Nest with the Kirin Beast and searched the dead Ancestral Vein for buried treasures.
• Li Zhi found an Yin Dragon Pearl but no Top-grade Dragon Marrow, then emerged and went to the Feathered Ancestral Temple.
• Li Zhi learned that most young Heavenly Prides needed to win entry qualifications, while Ye Fan and several others were already qualified.
• Li Zhi spotted Huo Qilinzi and Huo Lin'er at the Fire Qilin Cave camp and walked over with the Kirin Beast.
• A Fire Qilin Cave Ancestor King blocked Li Zhi and asked what business he had at their camp.

Li Zhi entered the Feathered Ancestral Temple after explaining to Huo Lin'er and Huo Qilinzi that imperial heirs needed to overcome the Great Dao inherited in their bloodlines. Inside, he found a chain of empty Small Worlds and discovered that the diagrams in the fifth courtyard were Great Dao Runes that compelled living beings to make sacrifices.

• Li Zhi revealed his identity and Great Accomplishment King cultivation to the Fire Qilin Cave Ancestor King, who was stunned by his rapid progress.
• As cultivators rushed into the newly opened Feathered Ancestral Temple and died, Li Zhi warned the Kirin Beast against overestimating itself and discussed self-mastery with Huo Lin'er and Huo Qilinzi.
• Li Zhi told the siblings that their inherited Ancient Emperor Great Dao was their true opponent, then entered the temple alone without presenting an entry token.
• Huo Qilinzi suspected Li Zhi was plotting to obtain something precious from them, while the Fire Qilin Cave Ancestor King warned Huo Lin'er to avoid him and revealed that Gai Jiuyou had barred guardians from entering.
• Li Zhi passed through four empty courtyards in the temple's connected Small Worlds and found scriptures and Carved Diagrams in the fifth courtyard.
• Li Zhi used his Heavenly Eye to recognize the Carved Diagrams as Great Dao Runes that made living beings offer sacrifices.

Li Zhi investigated the Feathered Divine Dynasty’s hidden longevity research as he passed through the Ancestral Temple’s Small Worlds. After studying runes that could nourish a Holy Spirit, he explored the peaceful Thirteenth Temple World, where no Immortal Treasures remained.

• Li Zhi subdued two Beast Kings in the Twelfth Courtyard Small World and agreed to take them back as mountain guardians.
• Li Zhi encountered Yin God descendants in the next Small World and concluded that the Feathered Divine Dynasty had drawn on both Heavenly Court and Netherworld inheritances.

• Li Zhi studied the Great Dao Runes carved on a stone statue in the Thirteenth Temple World and recognized them as tools for drawing in the Myriad Daos to nourish a Holy Spirit.
• Li Zhi memorized the runes, planned to inscribe similar ones in his Dao Field, and explored the safe Small World, which held no Immortal Treasures.

Li Zhi met Spirit Controlling Sect disciples Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, who were searching for God-Slaying Insect eggs, and accepted their Golden Body Liquid formula in exchange for guiding them. In the Fourteenth Temple Small World, he crushed a swarm of God-Slaying Insects and gave them the corpses before leading them onward to the Fifteenth Small World.
