After returning to the Mystic Pill Sect, Han Yi learned how rapidly the sect had grown and was pressed to serve either as a garrison elder or help establish a major Great Qian business. Zhuge Wuyou’s concern about hidden dangers left Han Yi suspicious that the Mystic Pill Death Tribulation might not truly be over, so he went to search the sect’s records.

• Han Yi returned He Fangwei’s storage pouch, heard about the sect’s expanding strength, and declined the garrison elder position.

Along the way, he broke through the Wind Wall Technique and experimented with fusing it with his Fire Shield Technique, then arrived at the ceremony's final stop.

• Liu Ruyan told Han Yi that Qin Wuxian had arranged his invitation and asked him to help defend the Mystic Immortal Pavilion from groups preparing to target it, and Han Yi agreed to attend the ceremony.

• Han Yi posed as a furious customer at the Myriad Immortals Pavilion and learned that Zhuo Qun had disappeared ten days earlier.

• Han Yi searched the sealed pavilion and found hidden documents in a secret compartment, with a note on top reading, "Primordial beast, Que Chen!"

Han Yi discovered evidence linking Zhuo Qun’s disappearance and Wei Tushen’s rampage to Que Chen of the Primordial Beast Sect, then was ambushed with Spirit-Wrecking Demon Venom. The black bead removed the venom, allowing Han Yi to counterattack and kill Que Chen just as he reached the Ten Thousand Arts Sect compound.

• Han Yi found Zhuo Qun’s hurried note naming the Primordial Beast Sect and Que Chen, then learned from Tian Chengxu that Wei Tushen had gone berserk before being killed.

As Yan Bu’s poisoned ambush forced Han Yi out of Jinyun Immortal City, Han Yi fled north toward the Myriad Demon Mountains.

• Han Yi killed the Golden Ni Beast and Que Chen, then escaped as Ying Pengrui arrived at the Ten Thousand Arts Sect encampment.

• Han Yi fled Jinyun Immortal City on his sword and headed north, while Yan Bu pursued him toward the Myriad Demon Mountains.

A year later, he reached Great Qin’s Southern Sky Immortal City, but left the final poison in his spirit sea unresolved, and someone rapidly approached his hiding place.

• Yan Bu chased Han Yi into the Myriad Demon Mountains, where Han Yi concealed his aura and fled deeper into the range while Black Prison Powder poisoned his body and spirit sea.

• Han Yi reached Comprehensive Mastery in the Ancient God Visualization Method and recovered most of his dharma power, but a stubborn remnant of poison remained in his spirit sea.
• One month later, Han Yi sensed someone rapidly approaching his hiding place.
