After exploring the Land of Return to Ruin and the surrounding void, Han Yi cultivated to the high Boundless stage and completely refined the Ancient Firmament Seal. Its power reached eighty percent of a true Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact, and its connection led him to a dangerous thunder domain where he entered to retrieve it.

• Han Yi explored the metallic territory for seven years, gathered nine additional points of World Force, and found a broken stone stele before venturing into the void.
• Han Yi encountered a temple containing a bronze Buddha statue and gained four points of World Force, then fled after sensing a terrifying danger and later found a gigantic dead World Tree.

• Han Yi reached a dangerous thunder domain where he sensed the Ancient Firmament Seal and entered wearing his Boundless Divine Armor.

Han Yi pursued the Ancient Firmament Seal into a dangerous lightning domain, where a mysterious cauldron awakened a shadow from the Black Frost Chaos World and a powerful voice sent him back to the Fuheng Dao Domain. After finding his way toward the Immemorial World, he learned how its conflict had developed, strengthened his Divine Canon, and continued home.

• Han Yi synchronized with the Divine Canon's accumulated progress, reaching Boundless Realm 92/100, sent new instructions through the Wanming Book, and continued toward the Immemorial World.

Han Yi returned to the Immemorial World and ambushed Purgatory Island’s Second High Priest, intending to turn him into a Wanming Incarnation. He sealed the Second High Priest, but Purgatory Island’s newly advanced Dao Union realm First High Priest witnessed the attack, so Han Yi charged him to prevent him from escaping.

• Han Yi reviewed his cultivation while crossing Fuheng toward the Immemorial World, and he ordered Li San to draw Purgatory Island’s Second High Priest away from the continent.

• Li San was thrown clear of the void and realized a Harmony Dao cultivator had followed Purgatory Island's Second High Priest, but he trusted Han Yi to handle the threat.
• Han Yi transformed into a black divine body and faced Purgatory Island's First High Priest, who manifested an Immortal Court with the Void Demon Banner and sent chaos-empowered immortals to attack.
• Han Yi shattered the immortals with Taosi · Devour Void, then chained the other Taosi forms into Dao Sacrifice, overwhelming the First High Priest's defenses.

• Han Yi clashed with Phantom Shadow’s light blade using the Yueguang Divine Spear, and the explosion destroyed the heavenly palace as a figure fled into the void.

Han Yi escaped the Intellect Realm after triggering the Wisdom God Brand and used 360,000 Life Seeds to raise his Trace-less Dao Art to the high level, allowing him to evade pursuing Wisdom Venerables. He headed toward the Transcendence Dao Mark and planned to focus on advancing his cultivation and strengthening his forces.

• Black Demon Wisdom Venerable and two other Wisdom Venerables sensed the Wisdom God Brand and rushed to investigate the ruined Ancient Illusion Heavenly Palace.

• Han Yi traveled through the chaos for three days, confirmed his twenty-two Dao Realm incarnations remained safe, and ordered them to cultivate discreetly.
• Han Yi resolved to fuse his Dao Fruit and Dao World, improve the Void Sword Realm, and build the Great Wilderness Dao Palace as he traveled toward the Transcendence Dao Mark.

Han Yi returned to the Transcendence Dao Mark to deepen his cultivation and created a new chapter of the Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture, advancing the fusion of his Dao Fruit and Dao World. As he prepared to keep cultivating, Taiyuan awakened after nearly eight thousand years and realized Han Yi had attained Dao.

• Han Yi reached the External Dao Realm cultivators' territory, deflected a probing attack, and settled there with Li San to study the Transcendence Dao Mark.
• Han Yi comprehended the Dao Mark and condensed a new Dao Fruit Chapter, advancing the Mira Profound Truth Dao Scripture to 12/100 and strengthening the fusion of his Dao Tower and Dao World.
• Han Yi used the Wanming Book to have his eligible Wanming Incarnations cultivate the new Dao Fruit Chapter.
• Han Yi noticed Taiyuan trembling inside his Dao World and recognized that the saber held only the intent of a Celestial Venerable ancient artifact.
• Taiyuan awakened, wondered whether Han Yi was still alive, and was astonished to discover Han Yi's Dao World and Dao Fruit.

Han Yi learned that Taiyuan was only the consciousness of a lost ancient Heavenly Venerable saber and agreed to search for its true body. Following its resonance west into the Destiny Dao Domain, he reached Destiny Continent, where the saber body was located.

• Taiyuan revealed that its true saber body had been lost and offered to guide Han Yi to it in exchange for helping recover its inheritance and saber arts.
• Han Yi agreed, recalled Li San into his Dao World, and used Taiyuan to sense the saber body's direction toward the Destiny Dao Domain.
• Han Yi traveled west across the Fuheng Dao Domain boundary and continued through Destiny, cultivating aboard his Dao vessel along the way.
• Taiyuan's resonance led Han Yi to Destiny Continent, a vast cluster of unfolded worlds ruled by the Fate Dao Palace and the Heaven-Controlling Dao Palace.
• Han Yi and Taiyuan realized the true saber body was somewhere on Destiny Continent, and Han Yi walked toward it.

Han Yi traced the Taiyuan Divine Saber to its sealed body inside Heaven-Controlling Dao Palace, but the danger of entering the hegemon’s territory forced him to seek another way. He arrived at Water-Controlling Dao City to gather intelligence and resources, ending at Heaven-Controlling Pavilion.

• Han Yi reached the outskirts of Heaven-Controlling Dao Palace and learned from Taiyuan that the saber body was sealed inside, but he refused to return without trying to find an opportunity.
• Inside the palace, the Dao Integration Realm youth guarding the saber strengthened its chains when its sudden tremors alarmed him, then searched the area without discovering a cause.
• Han Yi left the palace’s outskirts and entered Water-Controlling Dao City, where he sensed a pale purple halo that might be an ancient artifact monitoring the city.
• Han Yi inspected the city’s market, considered whether Origin Crystals might be used to buy ancient artifacts, and restrained himself from acting recklessly.
• Han Yi purchased intelligence about the city and followed its directions to the towering Heaven-Controlling Pavilion.

Han Yi visited Heaven-Controlling Pavilion to find high-grade Dao swords and exchange his surplus treasures for Dao crystals. After declaring that he intended to buy thirty-two swords, including a peak Dao sword, he left Shopkeeper Wang stunned.

• Han Yi asked Shopkeeper Wang about Source Crystals, then requested to inspect the pavilion’s high-grade Dao swords.
• Shopkeeper Wang showed Han Yi the Heavenly Edge Dao Sword, which Han Yi judged too weak for his needs.
• Han Yi arranged to sell his Dao-grade treasures to Heaven-Controlling Pavilion and began presenting them for appraisal.
• After the appraised treasures exceeded a thousand and were worth over six hundred million Dao crystals, Shopkeeper Wang asked how many swords Han Yi planned to buy.
• Han Yi said he intended to purchase thirty-two high-grade Dao swords, including one peak Dao sword, and assured Shopkeeper Wang that he had enough treasures to pay.

Han Yi sold his accumulated treasures at the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion and bought thirty-two high-grade Dao swords to rebuild the Void Sword Realm. After Daoist Su Yin mistook him for a powerful Dao Union cultivator, Han Yi asked how he could attend the pavilion’s auction for Origin Crystals.

• Shopkeeper Wang called Daoist Su Yin, a Dao Union deputy master, after Han Yi insisted on buying at least thirty-two high-grade Dao swords.
• Han Yi let Daoist Su Yin appraise 11,376 treasures, which she valued at 9.64 billion Dao crystals.
• Daoist Su Yin summoned more than two hundred high-grade Dao swords, and Han Yi selected thirty-two, including the peak Dao sword Profound Abyss, for 8.5 billion Dao crystals.
• Han Yi stored the swords in his Divine Aperture World, convincing Daoist Su Yin that he was a formidable Dao Union cultivator.
• Han Yi asked Daoist Su Yin what qualifications were required to attend the Origin Crystal auction.

Han Yi discovered that three Dao Integration cultivators had marked him after he bought high-grade Dao swords, but he evaded their ambush and spent three years cultivating. He returned to the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion in disguise for its auction, where the second item left him stunned.

• Daoist Su Yin gave Han Yi an entry plaque for the auction and explained that the event would feature source crystals and possibly fallen-grade ancient artifacts of Heavenly Sovereigns.
• After leaving the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion, Han Yi detected a covert mark and realized three Dao Integration cultivators had targeted him over the high-grade Dao swords he had bought.
• Han Yi transferred the mark to a fruit tree and escaped the three cultivators, who destroyed the orchard searching for him.
• Han Yi rented a cave abode and cultivated for three years before returning to the auction in disguise.
• Han Yi watched the first item, a Demoncloud Flower, sell for 230 million Dao crystals, then widened his eyes when the second item was introduced.

At the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion auction, Han Yi bought a damaged Ten Thousand Nether City armguard and later won three Origin Crystals. He used the panel to secretly absorb some Life Seeds from other bidders’ crystals before the pavilion’s investigators found no trace of him.

• Han Yi recognized the second auction item as a damaged armguard connected to Ten Thousand Nether City and bought it for 630 million Dao Crystals.
• Han Yi watched the auction and bid on the Dao-Chanting Elixir, but stopped when its price exceeded one billion Dao Crystals.
• Han Yi won three Origin Crystals in the fifth batch for 3.9 billion Dao Crystals and stored them without opening the jade box.
• When other bidders opened their boxes, Han Yi used the panel to absorb Life Seeds from their Origin Crystals, gaining a little over two thousand units before the cultivators sealed their crystals or left.
• Several Harmony Dao Realm cultivators demanded an explanation, and the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion’s deputy pavilion masters investigated but found no clues.
• Han Yi sensed an ancient Celestial Venerable artifact probing him and concluded that the panel had concealed his actions.

After using the auction’s source crystals to advance his Dao Scripture close to the Outer Dao realm, Han Yi failed to find a safe way to enter the Heaven-Controlling Dao Palace and left Water-Controlling Dao City. On his way out, he encountered three Harmonized Dao robbery cultivators and intervened in their attack, killing one of them.

• Han Yi absorbed three source crystals, gained more than 430,000 Life Seeds, and used them to fuse thirty levels of his Dao Fruit tower into his Dao World.
• Han Yi searched Water-Controlling Dao City for a way into the Heaven-Controlling Dao Palace but abandoned the risky plans he found and prepared to return to Fuheng.
• Han Yi spotted three Harmonized Dao robbery cultivators besieging another cultivator and broke their high-grade Dao formation with Taosi Divine Axe.
• The trapped cultivator used a damaged peak Dao artifact to blast one robber away while the other two attacked him and Han Yi.
• Han Yi broke free of the Myriad Shadows Binding Dao Technique, moved at tremendous speed, and beheaded the robber who had cast it.

Han Yi killed two Dao-Integration tribulation cultivators in Water-Controlling Dao City, then spent eighty-seven years traveling across Destiny Continent before heading into chaos to find Fu Heng. Elsewhere, a cultivator summoned the Holy Sword to defend True Saint Palace, and the sword agreed to fight its invaders before going to the Dao God Sect.

• Han Yi killed one Dao-Integration tribulation cultivator with a single axe strike and pursued the second, who fled after using a spirit pearl to block him.

• Han Yi left Water-Controlling Dao City, traveled across Destiny Continent, absorbed a hundred thousand Life Seeds, and found a poisoned corpse beside a broken sword.
• After eighty-seven years on Destiny Continent, Han Yi entered chaos and headed toward Fu Heng.
• A female cultivator summoned the Holy Sword to slay the enemies invading True Saint Palace, and the sword agreed before asking to be taken to the Dao God Sect.

Han Yi investigated a Dao Tomb and saw a shadow he suspected was a prematurely born Tomb Beast, then returned to the Fuheng Dao Domain and used his accumulated insights and Life Seeds to complete his Dao Fruit Chapter. He reached Dao Fruit Peak and remained in seclusion as his breakthrough toward the Outer Dao began.

• Han Yi examined Dao Tomb Ripples and tested the destructive power of a Tombburst, finding that even Divine Tribulation power slowly diminished inside it.
• Han Yi entered the Dao Tomb and glimpsed a black shadow in its core, which he suspected was a newly born Chaos Tomb Beast despite Tomb Beasts being expected to emerge in the second stage.
• Han Yi fled the Tombburst, hurried back to the Fuheng Dao Domain, and learned that the Immemorial World remained stable while his Dao Fruit Chapter had advanced to 98/100.
• Han Yi boarded a Dao vessel with Li San and absorbed accumulated cultivation insights before spending nearly one hundred thousand Life Seeds to advance his Dao Fruit Chapter.
• Han Yi's Dao Fruit fused completely with his Dao World, bringing the chapter to 100/100 and reaching Dao Fruit Peak.
• Han Yi continued cultivating aboard the moving Dao vessel as his transformation toward the Outer Dao quietly unfolded.

Han Yi broke through to the Outer Dao Realm and spent ten years gaining new insights from the Transcendence Dao Mark before setting out toward a nearby Myriad Travel Palace to seek help finding Heavenly Venerable Sui Zhu. As Han Yi departed, Daoist Suxi arrived with the Great True Saint Sword and pursued him under orders to kill him.

• After nine years of seclusion aboard the Dao vessel, Han Yi broke through from the Dao Fruit Realm to the Outer Dao Realm.
• Han Yi returned to the Transcendence Dao Mark, where he spent ten years gaining insights and then left with Li San for the Immemorial World.
• Han Yi's Myriad Travel Token detected a nearby Myriad Travel Palace, so he sent Li San ahead to guard the Great Wilderness Dao Palace and changed course toward it.
• Daoist Suxi arrived at Han Yi's former location and realized his lingering aura belonged to an Outer Dao cultivator, despite her mission targeting someone once at the first step of the Dao Realm.
• After consulting the aged voice in the Great True Saint Sword, Daoist Suxi pursued Han Yi to carry out Heavenly Venerable Yuehua's order.

The Fate Dao Palace hall master considered Han Yi’s rapid advancement and the Great True Saint Sword but chose not to interfere with Suxi’s pursuit. Han Yi returned to Myriad Travel Palace and commissioned a search for Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerate, learning that initial findings would likely take over a thousand years.

• Suxi appeared near the Transcendence Dao Mark, and the Fate Dao Palace hall master recognized the Great True Saint Sword she carried.
• The hall master recalled the Great True Saint Sword’s connection to the destroyed Great True Profound Sect and decided not to interfere with Suxi’s pursuit of Han Yi.
• Han Yi reached Myriad Travel Palace with his Myriad Travel Token and entered Myriad Travel Hall to seek information about Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerate.
• Han Yi told the Outer Dao shopkeeper that Sui Zhu had disappeared after an interception in the Chaos Antiquity Dao Domain and paid the required initial fee of one hundred million Dao crystals.
• The shopkeeper recorded Han Yi’s request and explained that the palace exchanged information with its Chaos Antiquity branch every hundred years, though preliminary findings would likely take over a thousand years.
