After returning from Solemn Cloud Mountain, Han Yi shared what he had learned about fighting Yin Demons and discovered that a powerful restriction destroyed their souls when he tried to investigate their world.

Han Yi searched Solemn Cloud Mountain during a Cangyun Storm and was caught in a battle between the Lord of Ancient Profundity and a Yin Demon Demon Lord over an enormous Cangyun Divine Stone. After the stone struck him, the Lord of Ancient Profundity ordered Han Yi to take it back to the encampment, and Han Yi was shocked by what he saw when he retrieved it.

He healed in a cave and discovered that the Heavy Profound Dao Stele could destroy the demonic energy in his body, leaving him with the divine stone in hand.

• Han Yi stored the divine stone containing a nine-colored Dao embryo, which the Lord of Ancient Profundity and the Demon Lord were fighting over.

Han Yi refined a perfect Cangyun Divine Stone and transformed its Divine Embryo into an avatar, gaining the inheritance of the Nine Transformations of the Cloud Sea. After returning from Solemn Cloud Mountain, he resolved to grow strong enough to face Lord of Ancient Profundity, who may be targeting both the Divine Embryo and the Wanming Book.

• Han Yi recognized that the Cangyun Divine Core inside the perfect Divine Stone was meant to become an avatar and feared Lord of Ancient Profundity might target him for using the Wanming Book.
• While Han Yi remained in Solemn Cloud Mountain, the other cultivators withdrew, and the Origin Lord and Lord of Purple Mountain learned only that Lord of Ancient Profundity had fought a Demon Lord over a Divine Stone that later vanished.
• Han Yi spent thirty-seven years refining the Divine Stone, then formed its exposed Dao Embryo into an avatar that inherited the Nine Transformations of the Cloud Sea and could serve as a second life.
• Han Yi began cultivating the Void Dao Transformation through the avatar, but after seven hundred years it had advanced only to 2/100, so he emerged when the Cangyun Storm returned.
• Han Yi rejoined the Dao Spirit contingent and told the elders, Dongfang Xiao, the Origin Lord, and Lord of Purple Mountain that he had been injured and delayed while escaping the Demon Lord.
• After learning that Lord of Ancient Profundity had concealed his involvement in the battle, Han Yi suspected he wanted the Wanming Book too and resolved to gain the strength to confront him within a hundred thousand years.

After fifty-four thousand years of cultivation, Han Yi raised his strength to the Venerable-level limit and became confident he could survive a confrontation with Lord of Ancient Profundity. During a new Cangyun Storm, he charged into the Yin Demons’ territory to seek a fight with a Demon Lord, prompting the Lord of Supreme Beginning to pursue him.

• Han Yi learned that Half-Step Transcendent World Venerables had to leave the Ring Continent after acting, then kept the Spirit Slayer blade and headed toward the remaining Yin Demons.

Han Yi slaughtered more than a hundred Yin Demons in Solemn Cloud Mountain, gathered a vast haul of divine stones and weapons, and learned that his strength let him leave the world war early. He chose to remain for now, while a strange golden-and-silver mirror among his spoils began reacting to him.

• Han Yi drove the Yin Demons out of Solemn Cloud Mountain but stopped short of their stronghold to avoid risking a confrontation with a stronger powerhouse.
• The Lord of Purple Mountain told Han Yi he could leave the world war because he had the strength of a half-step World Venerable, and described Cangyun South City as a possible destination.

• Han Yi noticed a half-gold, half-silver round mirror resembling the Black-and-White Bagua and picked it up, causing it to shine and a strange phenomenon to arise from his body.

• The founder attacked with a giant spiritual hand, and Han Yi shattered it with a saber strike.

Han Yi fought Lord of Cangying in the Gobi and proved his strength had reached the half-step World Venerable level before continuing to seek Origin Lord.

• Origin Lord assured Han Yi that the group’s plans were nearly ready and said Han Yi’s strength qualified him to learn what would happen next.

He joined the effort as a powerful ally and learned the half-step transcendence ranks and the history of Dao Spirit’s Eternal Realm Venerables.

• The Origin Lord introduced Han Yi to Tianyuan, former patriarch of the Heavenly Human God Clan, and Murong Yi of the Yellow Springs God Clan.
• The Origin Lord revealed that Ancestor God intended to compete for the vacant city-lord seat left by Realm Venerable Yuxiu, and explained that the contest would begin in roughly seventy thousand years.
• The Origin Lord explained that the Void Lord had returned after sensing turmoil in Dao Spirit and agreed to help Ancestor God compete for the seat.
• Han Yi learned the names and fates of Dao Spirit’s seven Eternal Realm Venerables, including that Dao Spirit had lost contact with the Void Lord and that Fu Heng and Heavenly Mandate were sealed away.

• The Origin Lord said Dao Spirit’s planned forces included two Eternal Realm Venerables and thirteen half-step Realm Venerables, with Han Yi adding another powerful ally.

Han Yi declined to decide whether to compete for Cangyun South City's lordship and set out to explore the city while preparing for a future breakthrough. In the Blue Lake Region, he learned of a hidden treasury and local events, then questioned whether becoming a Realm Venerable truly required returning to his Chaos World.

• The Origin Lord urged Han Yi to wait seventy thousand years before deciding whether to contend for the city lord position, while the Primordial Lord explained Cangyun South City's wonders and dangers.
• Han Yi chose to explore Cangyun South City and agreed to return to Dao Spirit with the Lord of Purple Mountain after forty thousand years.
• Han Yi concealed his aura, traveled to the Blue Lake Region, and learned that the Yuxiu Realm had become unstable after its Realm Venerable went missing.
• A Dao Integration Realm cultivator told Han Yi about a hidden treasury in Blue Lake, a coming duel between the Dark Sword Realm Venerable and the Falong Realm Venerable, Taihu Grand Sect's recruitment, and a threat against the Voidfierce Heavenly Venerable.
• Han Yi reflected on preparing for his breakthrough and wondered whether he could become a Realm Venerable without returning to Dao Spirit to imprint his consciousness on the Eternal Pillar.

Han Yi traveled through Cangyun South City and the other realms of the Cangyun Ring Continent, gathering insights and witnessing powerful cultivators and strange Dao arts. At Venerable Gumi’s gathering, he heard of a way for Heavenly Venerables whose Chaos Realms had been destroyed to advance by turning their own world into a newborn Chaos Realm.

• Han Yi traveled through the Blue Lake Region, observed Taihu Grand Sect, and discussed the Dao with Taihu World Venerable for ten years.
• Han Yi watched battles across Cangyun South City, survived a dangerous encounter in Blue Lake, and continued traveling through the other great realms.
• Han Yi met Venerable Gumi at Ancient Secret Mountain, where Gumi shared accounts of his travels and a Dao art that made existence undying by dividing thoughts into independent subselves.
• Venerable Gumi explained that he had sought another path to advancement because his own Chaos Realm and Eternal Pillar had been destroyed.
• Venerable Gumi revealed a method that transformed a Heavenly Venerable’s world into a newborn Chaos Realm and its domain into an Eternal Pillar, declaring that it self-verified one’s existence.

At a Dao discussion, Han Yi learned of the rare path of self-proving one's own being and began considering how to turn his Heavenly Venerable World into a Chaos World and his domain into an Eternal Pillar. He left the Cangyun Divine Sea to test the idea in Source-less Space, where his projected world shattered almost immediately, but he continued experimenting.

• Ancient Secret Heavenly Venerable revealed that an ancient artifact spirit had named three successful self-proving Saint Lords, including Bai, whose name corresponded to Bai's Continent.
• The Heavenly Venerables discussed Bai's Continent and its dangerous White Evil Demons while Ancient Secret Heavenly Venerable shared his travels and Dao insights; Han Yi quietly departed after the three-year discussion.
• Han Yi reasoned that creating his own Chaos World might let him gain an Eternal Transcendent's undying essence and remove future cultivation bottlenecks, so he began planning to balance his immortal and divine systems.
• Han Yi spent years attempting to project his Heavenly Venerable World, then left Cangyun South City and the Cangyun Divine Sea to avoid their influence.
• Han Yi projected a much larger Heavenly Venerable World in Source-less Space, but it shattered after an instant, and he continued trying despite the difficulty.

After failing to manifest his Heavenly Venerable World in the Source-less Space, Han Yi learned from the Primordial Lord that opening a Chaos Realm through one’s own power had never been proven possible. On his way to Solemn Cloud Mountain, he discovered Dao Immortal had remained nearby and infiltrated the Azure Nether Grand Sect to learn what had happened.

• Han Yi ended his attempt to manifest his Heavenly Venerable World after more than twenty thousand years and returned to consult the Primordial Lord.
• The Primordial Lord told Han Yi that many powerful cultivators, including the Ancestor God, had failed to open a Chaos Realm themselves, though Han Yi could still pursue the method if he wished.
• Han Yi decided he would return to the established road to transcendence if his own attempt proved impossible, then continued toward Solemn Cloud Mountain.
• Han Yi found Dao Immortal’s aura on a battlefield and suspected Dao Immortal had stayed in the area instead of returning to the Primordial Grand World.
• Han Yi bypassed the Azure Nether Grand Sect’s Dao formation, possessed one of its Heavenly Venerables, and learned that Dao Immortal had joined the sect a hundred thousand years earlier.

Han Yi discovered Dao Immortal’s plan to fuse with Lord Azure Nether and seize his body, then intervened with a devastating punch. Dao Immortal survived the attack and faced Han Yi alongside the corpse of the Source Wisdom Grand World Lord.

• Dao Immortal sealed Lord Azure Nether inside the hall and began extracting his divine soul for a soul-fusion art he had spent a hundred thousand years developing.
• Han Yi saw through the barrier with the Chaos Divine Pupil, realized Dao Immortal was betraying Lord Azure Nether, and left his hiding place to attack.
• Azure Nether Grand Sect’s Celestial Venerables attacked Han Yi, but he evaded them, cut through the barrier, and entered the hall.
• Han Yi’s punch shattered the hall and Dao Immortal’s spiritual furnace, annihilated Lord Azure Nether’s divine soul, and tore through the sect grounds.
• Dao Immortal survived in a disheveled state, recognized Han Yi, and summoned the corpse of the Source Wisdom Grand World Lord behind him.

Han Yi unleashed his Chaos Sword Domain against Dao Immortal, overwhelming him and destroying much of the Azure Nether Grand Sect in the battle. Dao Immortal tried to flee, but Han Yi condensed his domain into a giant sword and killed him, leaving a vast scar across the land.

• Han Yi summoned one hundred and eight swords and expanded his Chaos Sword Domain, trapping Dao Immortal, Lord Azure Nether, and the Azure Nether Grand Sect’s cultivators within it.
• Dao Immortal fought back with the Origin Great Dao Seal while the Source Wisdom Corpse wielded a black pagoda, and their clash with Han Yi’s World Venerable swords devastated the sect.
• Lord Azure Nether urged the trapped cultivators to flee, but the battle’s shockwaves tore through the Azure Nether Grand Sect and killed many of its disciples.
• Han Yi’s sword rain shattered the Origin Great Dao Seal and blasted away the black pagoda, then his Firecloud and Pagoda swords beheaded the Source Wisdom Corpse and forced Dao Immortal to retreat.
• Han Yi contracted his Chaos Sword Domain into a giant sword phantom and struck down Dao Immortal as he turned to face him.
• Han Yi’s sword carved a massive scar across the land beyond the ruined Azure Nether Grand Sect.

Han Yi destroyed Dao Immortal, ended his long-standing grudges, and returned to Solemn Cloud Mountain as his strength astonished the Realm Venerables and the Primordial God Clan. After continuing to cultivate, he emerged when the realm war ended and it was time to return to the Dao Spirit Chaos World.

• Han Yi's sword shadow erased Dao Immortal, and Han Yi retrieved the black treasure pagoda before a Cangyun Divine Emissary arrived and departed without challenging him.
• Han Yi reached Solemn Cloud Mountain and met the Lord of Purple Mountain and the Lord of Myriad Travels, who told him Dao Spirit had returned to calm and asked about Primordial.
• Han Yi concealed what he knew about Primordial and asked about Calamity Burial Realm Venerable and Lord Guanghan, learning that both had disappeared.
• Han Yi returned to the Primordial God Clan's base, where he told Dongfang Xiao and the other Divine Venerables about his victories and the four Realm Venerable ancient artifacts he possessed.
• Han Yi examined Source Wisdom's black treasure pagoda, then cultivated for three thousand seven hundred years until the realm war ended and the time came to return to Dao Spirit.

After a hundred-thousand-year realm war, Han Yi returned to Dao Spirit and learned that the Lord of Ancient Profundity held deep hostility toward him. Han Yi deliberately waited in the Destiny Dao Domain, where the Lord of Ancient Profundity soon arrived to confront him.

• Han Yi met the Pavilion Master of Red Dust as the relief force arrived at Solemn Cloud Mountain, then departed with the Lord of Purple Mountain and the other survivors.
• During the return journey, Han Yi cultivated the Nine Transformations of the Cloud Sea and considered his ambitions and the threats posed by World Venerable Guanghan and World Venerable Calamity Burial.
• After reaching Dao Spirit, Han Yi entered the pillar of light used to trade Cangyun Divine Stones, greeted Supreme Beginning, and sensed the Lord of Ancient Profundity's hostility.
• Han Yi left for the Destiny Dao Domain instead of returning home and waited for the Lord of Ancient Profundity, who soon appeared before him.

Han Yi confronted the Lord of Ancient Profundity in the Destiny Dao Domain, where their clash drew the attention of the Fate Palace Master and other powerful cultivators. After Han Yi withstood the Lord’s opening assault, the Lord brought out a mysterious compass and launched it at him, while Han Yi layered his domains to defend himself.

• Han Yi waited at the edge of the Destiny Dao Domain, and the Lord of Ancient Profundity arrived intending to kill him for the Wanming Book.
• Han Yi revealed three Realm Venerable ancient artifacts, and the Lord of Ancient Profundity attacked with four of his own, merging three into a gold-and-silver sword.
• Han Yi used Ashen Nine Refinements to merge eighteen peak ancient artifacts into his divine body, then struck back and forced the Lord’s sword and tripod away.
• The Fate Palace Master sensed the battle, failed to divine Han Yi’s future, and headed toward the Northern Region of Destiny as other peak Heavenly Venerables followed.
• The Lord of Ancient Profundity launched a mysterious compass fitted with his golden and silver swords, and Han Yi overlapped his Chaos Sword Domain and Origin Divine Domain of All Realms to withstand its attack.
