After paying the doubled passage fee, he waited for the passage to open and remained in secluded cultivation for ten years.

• Han Yi defeated thirteen demon cultivators who followed him from the Heavenly Fox Pavilion and took their Immortal Boat.
• Han Yi reached an Emperor Hong Trading Company and paid two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones for a passage slot, then received a token and was told to wait.

• Han Yi waited for ten years while the passage token remained unlit.

• The team reached the stronghold after a month-long journey, while Han Yi watched the eager demon cultivators with a cold laugh.

Han Yi infiltrated a demon raid on a Violet Firmament Sect stronghold and secretly hunted the Demon Kings, then killed the Thunder Wolf Demon Saint who tried to possess him. As the stronghold’s formation recovered, Han Yi hid his demon aura and began using Soul-Altering on an unconscious Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Han Yi reached Nine Radiance Immortal City after escaping the demon attack by altering a Du Family cultivator’s memories and posing as Du Fei. Unable to find a route back to the Jade Balance Realm, he headed for Violet Empyrean Immortal City, unaware that the Black God Seven Venerables had decided to pursue and capture him.

• Han Yi used Soul Search and Soul Alteration to make Du Ge believe he was his nephew Du Fei, then passed inspections and boarded an Immortal Boat to Nine Radiance Immortal City.

• Han Yi learned from a Sea-Heaven Pavilion shopkeeper that rumors pointed to passages between realms in stable cities behind the front line, and he set out for Violet Empyrean Immortal City.
• The Black God Seven Venerables recognized Han Yi as a possible fellow traveler from the Jade Balance Realm and pursued him, hoping to capture him and seize his spirit stones.

Han Yi killed the Black God Seven Venerables, learned that they were Jade Balance Realm assassins who had pursued him on a tip from Gu Li, and continued to Violet Empyrean Immortal City. There, a Violet Empyrean Pavilion shopkeeper revealed that a single force controlled the human realms’ interworld passages and asked whether Han Yi had heard of the Big Dipper Immortal Hall.

• Han Yi lured the pursuing Black God Seven Venerables into the forest and killed six of them before striking down their leader, Qiu Yao.

• Han Yi told a Golden Core shopkeeper that he wanted to find a passage back to the Jade Balance Realm.
• The shopkeeper explained that one force controlled the interworld passages in the human territories of the Big Dipper Domain and asked Han Yi whether he had heard of the Big Dipper Immortal Hall.

• Ni Ce told Han Yi about the Big Dipper Immortal Hall and invited him to join the Violet Firmament Sect, but Han Yi remained determined to search for another passage to the Jade Balance Realm.
• Han Yi bought a residence in Violet Empyrean Immortal City and investigated the interworld passages at the major factions’ branch pavilions.
• A Void-Controlling Tower shopkeeper said that access to the passages required joining a mysterious faction as a provisional or official member, reinforcing Han Yi’s belief that the Big Dipper Immortal Hall existed.
• Han Yi verified the shopkeepers’ accounts through Soul Search, then stopped investigating and began visiting Three Lives Tavern to hear news from across the Tianquan Realm.
• A storyteller reported that the Endless Corpse Domain had appeared and that Heavenly Phoenix Dao Lord had fought a half-man, half-corpse extraworld cultivator; Han Yi recognized the description and wondered whether the coincidence was real.

Han Yi traced rumors of a mysterious corpse domain in the Tianquan Realm to the missing Yuan Shun. After entering the domain and enduring its dangers, he found Yuan Shun wandering like a corpse, but received no response when he called out to him.

• Han Yi questioned a storyteller about the outsider cultivator in the Endless Corpse Domain and learned that it lay in Qianyuan Sect territory.
• Han Yi traveled north to the corpse domain, searched outside it, and learned that Yuan Shun-like outsider had wounded Heavenly Phoenix Dao Lord before Qianyuan Sect’s experts failed to uncover the domain’s secrets.
• Han Yi entered the corpse domain, encountered eerie corpse puppets and dangerous cold, and pressed toward its center despite the risks.
• After waiting seven days in the freezing domain, Han Yi spotted Yuan Shun and followed him until he could see his corpse-like condition clearly.
• Han Yi softly called out to Yuan Shun, but Yuan Shun continued wandering without pausing.

Han Yi encountered Yuan Shun in the Corpse Domain, where a mysterious bead absorbed Yuan Shun’s seal and restored his reason. Yuan Shun took Han Yi into the buried Ancient Dragon Palace to retrieve an object from the Void Prison, then fled with it as the palace shook.

• Han Yi struck Yuan Shun with a Spirit Void Finger, prompting Yuan Shun to form a white seal from corpse qi that the black bead in Han Yi’s sea of consciousness absorbed.
• The bead turned white, manifested an illusory Daoist, and entered Yuan Shun, who regained his reason and recognized Han Yi.
• Yuan Shun broke through the ice beneath the Corpse Domain and led Han Yi into the Ancient Dragon Palace, explaining that he sought an object belonging to the Void Prison.
• Yuan Shun sensed the object nearby and left Han Yi waiting among the frozen palace halls.
• A terrifying aura shook the Dragon Palace as Yuan Shun returned with a square stone and two-colored flames burning along his arm.
• Yuan Shun carried Han Yi up the collapsing passage, and they burst into the sky as the passage gave way.

Han Yi reunited with Yuan Shun, learned the truth about the Void Prison and the Immortal Venerable’s inheritance, and was sent back to Jade Balance Realm while Yuan Shun stayed behind to pursue the Reincarnation Immortal Path. Han Yi awoke badly injured in Taijing City, where a girl and her father hoped he would help her begin cultivating.

• Yuan Shun absorbed the corpse domain into himself and brought Han Yi into the Void Prison Illusory Layer.
• Yuan Shun explained that Han Yi’s black bead was an immortal eye of the Void Prison Immortal Venerable, which had helped restore his clarity.
• Yuan Shun revealed that he needed to collect all nine Void Prison Seal Insignias to complete the Reincarnation Immortal Path and refused to return to the sect with Han Yi.
• As immortal demons attacked, Yuan Shun used the Void Prison Seal Insignia to send Han Yi back to Jade Balance Realm, where a spatial storm severely injured him.
• Han Yi woke in Taijing City after more than a month and heard Qian'er and her father hoping he could help her cultivate.

After recovering from the spatial storm in the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, Han Yi repaid Su Qiang and Su Qian by improving Su Qian’s spiritual root. He then infiltrated Mount Luofu’s Taijing City station to reclaim his swords, but his plan collided with the arrival of the powerful Sword Seed Cang Kuang.

• Han Yi recovered from his injuries, confirmed that he had returned to the Jade Balance Realm, and identified his location as Taijing City in Qin Prefecture.
• Han Yi gave Su Qian a pill refined from the Blood Amber Lingzhi, transforming her wood spiritual root into an Earth Spirit Root, then departed to retrieve his lost weapons.
• Han Yi disguised himself as Tan Su and infiltrated Mount Luofu’s station, where he sensed the Demon-Suppressing Sword and Green Duckweed Sword.
• Cang Kuang arrived to claim the swords, and Han Yi attacked Deacon Liang before the station’s cultivators could respond.
• The station’s cultivators activated their formation against Cang Kuang, who realized someone had framed him and erupted with his Golden Core aura.

Han Yi escaped Mount Luofu’s residence after stealing two sword artifacts, then learned that the Supreme Token Contest could help his future breakthrough. While tracking his lost treasures to the Supreme Pavilion, he found that Qin Yao had taken his Demon-Slaying Sword and inner armor, but discovered a Green Duckweed sub-sword and left with it.

• Cang Kuang’s sword strike was blocked by Xu Meng’s formation, while Yan Liu found Liang Shao unconscious and confirmed that Tan Su had been drugged.
• After Tan Su and Liang Shao recounted what happened, the cultivators concluded that an intruder had used Tan Su’s identity to steal two sword artifacts; Han Yi revealed that he had escaped with them.
• Han Yi considered entering the Supreme Token Contest and went to the Supreme Pavilion to track his remaining lost treasures.
• Han Yi saw Qin Yao depart on a Great Qin Immortal Boat with the Demon-Slaying Sword and inner armor, and decided not to pursue them until he was far stronger.
• The Green Duckweed Sword led Han Yi to a sub-sword on the Supreme Pavilion’s second floor, and he bought it along with two other swords before asking about the Supreme Token Contest.
