He passed the fifth-rank alchemist assessment by refining pill-pattern-grade Golden Sun Pills, while his sleeping Wisdom Puppet remained an unresolved concern.

• Han Yi registered for the Longevity Immortal Assembly, accepted the Withered Wood Spirit-Forging Scripture mission, and spent one thousand points to obtain its first nine levels.
• Han Yi encountered Yuan Qinghong outside Ten Thousand Battles Palace, then transmitted away rather than engage him; Chu Zhi warned Yuan Qinghong not to underestimate Han Yi.
• Han Yi studied the Withered Wood Spirit-Forging Scripture and began cultivating it, but the panel recorded only that he had gained a first glimpse of the method.

He spent his stolen points on new treasures and joined nearly three thousand cultivators departing under Black Flame Profound Immortal for the far north.

• Han Yi spent his points on an Azure Nether Battle Armor, a Kunwu Sword, and other supplies before preparing for departure.
• Seven days later, Han Yi joined nearly three thousand cultivators outside the Righteous Law Immortal Palace, and Black Flame Profound Immortal transported them into his Immortal Spirit Realm before flying north.

• Han Yi regained consciousness in the Divine Demon World and saw a pair of bright, curious eyes.

Han Yi awakened in the Great Spirit Kingdom, where his cultivation powers were restricted, and began investigating the world inside an Ancient God's body. After learning about local factions and reading books from the Clearwind Gang, he left with its leader Hong Li's Clearwind Saber technique, puzzling both Hong Li and Ancient Rainbow City's lord.

• Han Yi woke on Old Man Geng's ox cart, learned he was near Ancient Rainbow City, and left without troubling the old man or the little girl.
• Han Yi discovered that he could use his divine sense and certain items but could not access his inner space or mobilize his magical power, and he suspected the world lay inside an Ancient God's body.
• Han Yi entered a tavern in Ancient Rainbow City, overheard two Clearwind Gang members discuss the Divine Fire Sect and Golden Radiance Cliff, and decided to seek out their leader, Hong Li.
• Han Yi used the Ancient God Visualization Method to intimidate Hong Li, then read his books and took the Clearwind Saber technique before leaving without speaking.
• Ancient Rainbow City's lord questioned Hong Li about the visitor, and Hong Li wondered whether his Clearwind Saber concealed a secret.

Han Yi robbed powerful sects and commanderies to learn about the gods-and-demons world, uncovering a legend that a Primordial Origin Realm being would destroy the world. In a secluded courtyard in the kingdom’s capital, he began cultivating the Divine Fire Art and Divine Fire Battle Body, then broke through to the Primordial Pellet Realm.

Han Yi reached the peak of the Dark Sun Realm after twelve years of cultivating the Divine Fire Battle Body, while suspecting that godfiend cultivation was the true ancient-god path and that the Ancient God Visualization Method concealed a grave danger. As he investigated the Great Spirit Kingdom’s secrets, a terrifying aura erupted from the Spirit God Manor, briefly surpassing the Undying Realm and carrying the presence of a demon.

• Han Yi concluded that the godfiend cultivation system might be the true ancient-god path and stopped using the Ancient God Visualization Method until he could resolve his doubts.

• A black shadow emerged from Wei Zheng’s back, while Wei Zheng mistook it for a curse left by extraterrestrial fiends.
• Han Yi recalled evidence that Immortal Manor cultivators had fought the Great Spirit Kingdom twelve years earlier and planned to remain in the capital before pursuing the Yin-Yang Realm.
• Three months later, Han Yi sensed a turbulent aura erupting from the Spirit God Manor, briefly surpassing the Undying Realm and carrying the presence of a demon.

Han Yi witnessed Wei Zheng transform into an immortal-level Ancient Demon and realized that the divine demon world’s destruction was part of a cycle triggered by the world itself. A white-browed Daoist froze the worlds within an ancient god, removed six cultivators from the divine demon world, and returned Han Yi to his Immortal Residence.

• Han Yi learned that the first hundred thousand cultivators to reach the summit would advance, and he evaded a White Void Clan cultivator who ambushed him near a Nine-Frost Lotus.
• Han Yi climbed through increasingly restrictive funnel-shaped zones, collected spiritual treasures, and noticed a mysterious red-robed woman whose speed and charm made him wary.
• Near the summit, Han Yi saw twelve cultivators blocking the route and watched one of them knock a young challenger down with a single palm strike.
