• Han Yi entered a world without life or spiritual energy, discovered its soil was astonishingly dense, and collected several clumps for their value.
• Han Yi found and uprooted three dead trees, taking their heavy branches and leaves as treasures.
• Ye Wuxian entered the projection and used a purple eye to guide herself toward the same direction Han Yi had flown.

• Han Yi reached the mountain and spotted the red stone, but the Wisdom Puppet warned him that it was a crystallization of the Fire Dao Law.

Han Zhi explained that the mountain world was an illusory projection of Dao Principle fragments, with only the Immortal Dao Origin near its summit possibly real, and she warned Han Yi to seek it. Han Yi recognized the Origin might become Life Seeds, raced toward the summit, and discovered that the radiance there contained a Life Seed he could not absorb.

• Han Zhi awoke, identified the stones and other objects as Dao Principle fragments, and concluded that the mountain world was a projection with real Immortal Dao Origin near its summit.

• Han Yi flew past projected fragments of the Metal and Water Dao Principles and reached the radiance beneath the summit after seven hours.
• A panel appeared before Han Yi and reported that a Life Seed had been discovered but could not be absorbed.

Han Yi entered the light containing a Life Seed and was swept through a spatial interlayer, where he witnessed a white sword attack a rapidly ascending Dao Ancestor before losing consciousness. He awoke healed with four Life Seeds, found Han Zhi sealed and the Ancient God Visualization Method erased, then returned to the Sui Zhu Immortal Court without news of Bai Yuya.

• Han Yi entered the impenetrable light after confirming it contained a Life Seed, and the passage carried him through a vast spatial interlayer.
• Han Yi saw a falling cultivator rise from Nascent Soul to Dao Ancestor, then watched a white sword rain down slaughter sword intent that the Green Duckweed Sword expelled from his soul.

After returning from the Longevity Immortal Assembly, Han Yi planned to strengthen his cultivation and defenses, then learned of growing turmoil between the Immortal and Intellect Realms. He collected his mission reward, bought a fifth-tier formation and five-element spiritual objects, and began evolving his Life Seed to advance his Ancient God system.

• Han Yi left the Sui Zhu Immortal Court to complete the five inherited Immortal Path missions.

Han Yi traveled through several Immortal Domains to complete inherited Immortal Path missions, but a crisis at Ancient Prosperity Immortal Sect forced him to flee before he could enter the Ghost-Suppressing Grotto. After completing three other missions, he reached the Northern Abyss River and approached the Peng Demon Territory for his next target.

• Han Yi killed three Nascent Soul cultivators who had followed him in Ancient Prosperity Immortal City, then left before the Ancient Prosperity Immortal Sect's Half-Immortal and Deity Transformation cultivators could question him.

• Han Yi returned to Ancient Prosperity Immortal City less than a year after leaving.

Han Yi entered the Ghost-Suppressing Grotto to collect ghost cores for the Ghost Chariot True Body, uncovering a cycle in which Half-Immortal vicious ghosts vanished as soon as they emerged. After completing his mission and exchanging its rewards for the cultivation art and supplies, he returned to his immortal abode to begin testing the method.

• Han Yi returned to Ancient Prosperity Immortal City and entered the reopened Ghost-Suppressing Grotto after paying the fee.
• Han Yi watched vicious ghosts devour one another and discovered that those reaching the Half-Immortal level regained their reason before vanishing without a trace.

• Han Yi collected three thousand ghost cores from ghosts at Golden Core Stage or above and teleported out of the grotto.
• Han Yi returned to Sui Zhu Immortal Abode, submitted five missions for more than thirteen hundred points, and bought Ghost Chariot True Body and ten bottles of Demon Blood Pills.
• Han Yi strengthened the formations around his abode and prepared the ghost cores, Demon Peng blood essence, and pills to test the cultivation method.

Han Yi studied the Ghost Chariot True Body art and prepared to cultivate its method for turning a human into a demon. After eighty-one days, he successfully formed a demon core, and when he activated it, demonic blood fused with his own and began transforming his body.

• Han Yi learned that Ghost Chariot True Body required opening a demon sea, refining ghost cores with Demon Roc blood essence, severing his divine soul, and sealing the mixture inside the aperture.
• Han Yi refined three thousand ghost cores and ten bottles of Demon Roc blood essence into a semisolid pill, then opened a demon sea near his Central Palace divine aperture.
• Han Yi severed one-third of his divine soul, placed it with the pill inside the demon sea, and sealed the aperture before spending a month recovering.
• On the eighty-first day, the demon sea opened and revealed a half-red, half-black demon core, which Han Yi strengthened with ten bottles of perfect-grade demon blood pills.
• Han Yi activated the demon core, sending demonic blood through his body, where it fused with his original blood and began transforming him.

Han Yi studied the Profound Repository Palace, learned that Gu Chuan had died, and attended a gathering of fifth-tier alchemists hosted by Nine-Ring True Immortal. The gathering left him listening to a tale about a Nascent Soul cultivator who had threatened the Nie Family and robbed them with an accomplice.

• Han Yi transformed into a demonlike form after absorbing the Ghost Chariot demon core, then returned to his normal body and traveled to the Profound Repository Palace.
• Han Yi studied records about Cave Heaven Worlds and noticed that Du Xuanzhi's account of the Ghost-Suppressing Grotto differed from what he had experienced.
• Han Yi learned from Cang Shaoyuan that Gu Chuan had died ten years earlier, then accepted an invitation to a fifth-tier alchemist exchange gathering.
• Han Yi refined pills for half a month before traveling to Nine Rings Pavilion, where he saw Nine-Ring True Immortal and the Zhengyang Immortal Envoy.
• Lu Shaomin told Han Yi and the other alchemists that a Nascent Soul cultivator had killed the Nie Family's young master, threatened the family head, and robbed the Nie Family with an accomplice who left the words “Heaven's Will.”

At an alchemy exchange gathering, Han Yi heard of a Heaven’s Will Sect cultivator being hunted and decided to alert the Big Dipper Immortal Hall rather than intervene himself. After the gathering, the Green Duckweed Sword sensed a subsidiary sword’s trace in a stall’s wares, leading Han Yi to learn their origin and set out for Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake.

• Han Yi connected Lu Shaomin’s story about a young cultivator who threatened the Nie Family Patriarch with his old acquaintances in the Heaven’s Will Sect and planned to pass the news to the Big Dipper Immortal Hall.
• Zhengyang Immortal Envoy demonstrated pill refinement, and nine alchemists shared their insights before the Three-Soul Pill was sold to a peak Soul Transformation alchemist.
• After the seven-day gathering, Han Yi followed the Green Duckweed Sword’s signal to a stall in the Immortal Market Palace and found a strange spirit-treasure sword and scrap metal carrying the aura of a subsidiary sword.
• Han Yi paid the stall’s mysterious Soul Transformation cultivator ten supreme-grade spirit stones for the sword and information about its origin.
• Han Yi changed his appearance, left the Immortal Market Palace, and flew south toward Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake.

Han Yi entered Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake to search for the Green Duckweed Sword, but diverted after sensing a golden treasure on one of its islands. He discovered and absorbed a Myriad-Spirits Flame Source with his divine fire, then fled as a Half-Immortal approached.

• Han Yi reached Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake and followed the Spirit Transformation Rogue Cultivator's markers across its floating islands.
• After half a year of searching, Han Yi spotted a golden radiance and used Voidfire Escape to investigate it.
• Han Yi found seven cultivators gathering Myriad-Spirits Golden Flame around a Myriad-Spirits Flame Source, which he recognized as a rare immortal flame.
• Han Yi used divine fire from his ancient god cultivation to envelop and absorb the Myriad-Spirits Flame Source.
• As a Half-Immortal approached and the Ruins-End Sword Formation broke, Han Yi fled with the Light Boundary divine ability while the other cultivators scattered.

Han Yi escaped the valley with the Myriad-Spirits Origin Flame, then evaded a grievously injured Half-Immortal who pursued him through Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake. Deep beneath the lake, a gray longsword awakened and sent a ripple across the region, stirring powerful immortals while Han Yi remained unaware.

• Han Yi seized the Myriad-Spirits Origin Flame and fled when a one-armed Half-Immortal arrived, while the old man killed two Spirit Transformation cultivators and began tracking him.
• Han Yi alternated between Light Boundary and Voidfire Escape, considered ways to survive the pursuit, and tried unsuccessfully to awaken Han Zhi inside his internal space.
• Han Yi discovered that the Half-Immortal was gravely injured and too slow to catch him, so he abandoned his prepared ambush and fled laterally between islands.
• The one-armed old man continued pursuing Han Yi, repeatedly forcing bursts of speed despite his worsening injuries and growing desire to seize Han Yi's treasures.
• Deep beneath Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake, a gray longsword produced a phantom that murmured, “Souls... return... home,” then sent a ripple that startled powerful immortals throughout the lake.

Han Yi escaped the danger at Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake while Dao Ancestor Sui Zhu realized that a mysterious force was connected to Han Yi's cultivation. After three years of refining Myriad-Spirits Golden Flame, Han Yi's Nascent Soul cultivation reached 98/100, leaving him close to the peak.

• The awakened blade's ripple spread across the Immortal Realm, drawing eight Dao Ancestors to Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake before retreating into its depths.
• Dao Ancestor Sui Zhu noticed ancient demon aura on Han Yi, deduced that Han Yi cultivated three systems, and stopped investigating after sensing danger.
• The Dao Ancestors left, while immortals from their courts entered the lake to investigate; Han Yi's pursuer withdrew, and Han Yi decided to leave and strengthen himself before returning for the Green Duckweed Sword.
• Han Yi rented a cave dwelling in Shooting Sun Immortal City and used divine power to divide the Myriad-Spirits Origin Flame into golden flames that he could refine.
• After refining the golden flames for three years, Han Yi raised his late Nascent Soul cultivation to 98/100.

Han Yi retrieved a powerful split Green Duckweed Sword from a buried palace beneath Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake, then was caught in a clash between an immortal puppet and the newly ascended Ao Lie. As their battle erupted, a mysterious spatial opening swallowed Han Yi and vanished.

• Han Yi reached the peak of Nascent Soul and planned to restore his divine soul before returning to the Sui Zhu Immortal Court to undergo the Divine Transformation tribulation.
• After learning that powerful cultivators were investigating an anomaly at Emperor's Fall Heavenly Lake, Han Yi hurried to find the fifth and sixth markers and locate the Split Green Duckweed Sword.
• Han Yi entered a buried palace beneath the sixth island and fused his Green Duckweed Sword with a stronger split sword found in the ruins.
• A silent ox-headed spirit puppet attacked Han Yi, but he evaded its strike and tried to escape the palace complex.
• Ao Lie descended through the shattered vault, and a tiger-headed immortal puppet confronted him; as their powers collided, a spatial opening swallowed Han Yi and sealed shut.
