• Han Yi escaped into the Myriad Demon Mountains, and the Vicious Slaughter True Person identified him as a newly advanced middle Golden Core cultivator and pursued him alone.

After escaping the Demon Cave disaster and returning to the Mystic Pill Sect, Han Yi suspected that the ancient corpse in his storage ring had swallowed Star River True Lord’s Nascent Soul. He helped the sect plan for its future and resolved to seek a stronger sword, but the corpse remained a dangerous mystery.

• Han Yi killed Tian Boyi, escaped Vicious Slaughter True Person, and fled through the Myriad Demon Mountains after spotting a gathering of powerful Golden Core demon cultivators.

Han Yi confirmed that the ancient corpse had swallowed both Star River True Lord’s Nascent Soul and his missing top-grade spirit stones, then received three powerful swords from Zhuge Wuyou. The sect learned that the vanished Sect Master had once joined the dangerous Void Immortal-Seeking, and Han Yi agreed to investigate Two-Realm Mountain; the chapter ended with evidence that Huo Ming, Liu Ruyan, and Bai Wanqing had been abducted by someone marked with the name Zhang.

• Zhuge Wuyou explained that Yuan Shun had joined the secret, century-old Void Immortal-Seeking and that the event might be connected to the Sect Master’s disappearance; Han Yi persuaded the sect to let him go if Yuan Shun did not return.
• Seven days later, the sect learned that Mystic Immortal Pavilion had been destroyed and Huo Ming, Liu Ruyan, and Bai Wanqing were missing; a recording jade butterfly marked Zhang showed the three unconscious before a young man in black, enraging Han Yi.

Han Yi traveled to Great Qin to rescue Huo Ming and the others and kill Zhang Tu, using disguise and poison to gather information while avoiding the Nine Tripods Sect’s stronghold. After learning Zhang Tu was in Yu City, Han Yi returned there and entered the Supreme Pavilion to prepare for his next move against Bao Zheshen and Zhang Tu.

• Han Yi spent 250,000 high-grade spirit stones on a weak fourth-tier Primordial Origin God-Sealing Talisman and bought several Taiyi-series spirit talismans.

The chapter ended as an illusory jade arm caught Han Yi’s Primordial Origin God-Sealing Talisman rune.

• Han Yi opened Bao Zheshen’s storage ring with his perfected disguise, found a fourth-tier Soaring Ten Thousand Li Formation and numerous talismans, and prepared to ambush Zhang Tu at Immortal Bone Cliff.

• Han Yi activated the inferior fourth-tier Primordial Origin God-Sealing Talisman, but an illusory jade-colored arm reached from the blood mist and seized its rune.

Han Yi absorbed the memories of a mysterious jade arm, rescued Huo Ming, Bai Wanqing, and Liu Ruyan, and fled Great Qin toward the Void Sect. The arm’s power led Supreme Pavilion and Heavenly Basket Lake to suspect Creation Gate, temporarily stopping their pursuit while Han Yi examined the memories sealed in his soul pearl.

• The jade arm ignored Han Yi’s escape attempts, entered his body, and left behind vast memories that he sealed inside a soul pearl formed from seven Soul Swords.

• As Han Yi traveled onward, he finally turned his attention to the enormous soul pearl and the jade arm’s memories sealed within it.

• Han Yi traveled to Void Immortal City and learned from Chen Xu and Elder Du that they knew of no place called Two-Realm Mountain, so he decided to cultivate there until he could ask the Void Sect.
• While Han Yi cultivated, the ancient female corpse swallowed nineteen supreme-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.
• Three months later, Han Yi saw that his proficiency panel had returned unchanged, then left seclusion and traveled toward the Void Sect to investigate Two-Realm Mountain.

Han Yi reached Sacred Void Valley and learned from True Person Dongli how Void Immortal-Seeking led to a Shattered Immortal Realm through Two-Realm Mountain. He discovered that Yuan Shun had obtained half-immortal remains a century earlier, then prepared for the journey as the Two-Realm spiritual radiance appeared.

• Han Yi arrived at the Void Sect and met True Person Dongli at Sacred Void Valley, where Dongli required him to swear a Dao Heart oath before revealing the secret of Void Immortal-Seeking.

• Dongli revealed that Yuan Shun had obtained half-immortal remains a century earlier, and Han Yi inferred that this explained why other True Monarchs had feared Yuan Shun and left the Mystic Pill Sect alone.
• Han Yi learned the rules and dangers of the journey, including that only twenty-three of the forty-nine participants had returned safely the previous time and that the Void Sect sought information about Jade Void Palace.
• Han Yi chose a cave residence in Sacred Void Valley, set up the Grand Profound Heaven-Earth Array, and cultivated for three months.
• When the Two-Realm spiritual radiance appeared, Han Yi opened his eyes and took out the golden Two-Realm Jade.

Han Yi entered the Shattered Immortal Realm, discovered the immense Eternal Rest Immortal City, and faced a powerful demon cultivator from another world at its gate. Li Dongli intervened, then led Han Yi inside to search for records about Jade Void Palace, where they encountered a startling sight.

• Han Yi and forty-eight other cultivators were transported through Two-Realm Mountain, and Han Yi passed through the Big Dipper Domain before reaching the Shattered Immortal Realm.
• Han Yi found that the realm's gravity was extreme and its spiritual qi had become corrupted, so he headed toward the nearby Eternal Rest Immortal City without absorbing it.
• A peak Golden Core demon cultivator from another cultivation world attacked Han Yi at the city gate, but Li Dongli drove the demon cultivator away with sword qi.
• Li Dongli explained the Big Dipper Domain's human- and demon-dominated realms, then entered Eternal Rest Immortal City with Han Yi to seek records about Jade Void Palace.
• Han Yi and Li Dongli entered the city and stopped in shock at what they saw.

Han Yi explored Eternal Rest Immortal City, found a powerful Demon-Slayer inner armor, and witnessed a remnant image of an ancient war between cultivators and demons. The chapter left him ambushing two demon cultivators who were fighting Lü Bai.

• Li Dongli identified the enormous headless skeleton as an ancient demon and parted ways with Han Yi, whose Ancient God Visualization Method had begun operating near it.
• Han Yi searched a ruined palace, collected valuable fragments, and found an iron shard and a broken sword called Demon-Slayer; he also discovered that the nineteen supreme-grade spirit stones in Bao Zheshen's spatial ring had vanished.
• Han Yi approached a skeleton in the palace, triggering it to dissolve into black mist; a remnant image then showed a Divine Transformation commander and his cultivator forces facing a vast army of ancient demons.
• Han Yi recovered the intact Demon-Slayer inner armor, learned that its weight severely restricted his mobility, and changed back into his original armor.
• Han Yi spotted Lü Bai fighting two demon cultivators, hid among the palace ruins, and launched three swords at the approaching demons.

Han Yi helped Lü Bai kill a peak Golden Core serpent demon and escape a battle with a wounded half-step Nascent Soul lion demon, then received a Jade Butterfly containing information about the wider region. After exploring the shattered immortal city, Han Yi found a Void Thunder Spirit Tree at the center of a major battle and saw its lightning domain repel a cultivator trying to approach it.

• Han Yi ambushed Holt with three swords, severed the serpent demon’s three heads, and killed him while Lü Bai wounded their half-step Nascent Soul opponent.
• Lü Bai struck down the demonic lion, but it escaped using its Life-Burning Escape Art, and Han Yi and Lü Bai fled before others arrived.
• Lü Bai gave Han Yi a Jade Butterfly detailing the powers and demon races of the Big Dipper Domain, and Han Yi later stored it for Mystic Pill Sect.
• Han Yi searched a ruined tower and an immortal mountain, finding only decayed remains and fragments before flying deeper into Eternal Rest Immortal City.
• Han Yi followed the auras of a huge battle and recognized the contested treasure as a Void Thunder Spirit Tree bearing more than a hundred fruits.
• A peak Golden Core cultivator tried to approach the tree, but its thunder domain struck him down and drove him back.

Han Yi obtained a Void Thunder Spirit Fruit, but Hu Xing of Sword Cliff targeted him for his Demon-Slaying Inner Armor before the Void Thunder Spirit Tree released a powerful Void Thunder Heart. Han Yi escaped the ensuing battle, hid in an abandoned palace, and swallowed a piece of the fruit, unleashing violent spiritual energy within his body.

• Cultivators braved the intelligent thunder domain to seize Void Thunder Spirit Fruits, and Han Yi studied its lightning patterns before entering and taking one with the Demon-Slaying Inner Armor as his shield.
• Four Golden Core cultivators pursued Han Yi, but Hu Xing arrived, killed the Tiger Demon, and attacked Han Yi while coveting his captain-grade inner armor.
• The Void Thunder Spirit Tree split apart and released a black jade Void Thunder Heart that absorbed the tree and its remaining fruits, drawing Hu Xing and the other powerful cultivators into a desperate contest.
• Han Yi fled the fighting, concealed himself in an abandoned palace, cut off a small piece of his Void Thunder Spirit Fruit, and swallowed it.
• Violent spiritual energy erupted inside Han Yi after the fruit melted in his stomach.

Han Yi consumed the Void Thunder Spirit Fruit, broke through to the Late Golden Core Stage, and explored deeper into Eternal Rest Immortal City. On an immense immortal mountain, he witnessed a phantom chain seize a True Lord and glimpsed countless cultivators, including Li Dongli, standing like puppets inside a palace as another chain pursued him.

• Han Yi used the spirit fruit to strengthen his body and meridians, then reached the Late Golden Core Stage after seven days of cultivation.
• Han Yi experienced no Heavenly Demon Tribulation during his breakthrough and wondered whether the Jade Balance Realm's Heavenly Demons appeared only after the Immortal Realm shattered.
• Han Yi ventured deeper into Eternal Rest Immortal City, passed numerous ancient demon skeletons, and reached an enormous immortal mountain where gravity forced him to climb on foot.
• Han Yi reached the summit and watched a phantom chain capture a True Lord and pull him into a palace.
• Han Yi saw many silent cultivators inside the palace, including Li Dongli, then fled down the mountain as a chain pursued him.

Han Yi was captured by the immortal palace’s chain and remained helpless until the ancient corpse in his storage ring awakened as an immortal puppet and attacked the palace’s fallen immortal. After fleeing the collapsing mountain, Han Yi killed two cultivators who tried to rob him and returned safely to the Jade Balance Realm.

• A chain dragged Han Yi into the palace, where he and other captured cultivators were trapped as puppets and periodically drained of their spiritual power.
• The ancient corpse emerged from Han Yi’s storage ring, swallowed nearby supreme-grade spirit stones and the Void Thunder Heart, then announced that it had detected a fallen immortal and charged into the palace depths.
• The palace split apart, restoring Han Yi and the other captives; Han Yi fled as the immortal puppet swallowed a twisted black shadow and a massive scroll crushed the collapsing immortal mountain.
• Three peak Golden Core cultivators surrounded Han Yi and demanded what he had taken, but Han Yi’s three swords killed two of them and forced the third to detonate his Daoist stele.
• The Two-Realm Jade teleported Han Yi away before he could retrieve the fallen treasures, and he returned through Two-Realm Mountain to the Jade Balance Realm.
