Su Hao underwent a prolonged Golden Immortal tribulation outside the Chiqing Realm while the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle guarded him. Afterward, Su Hao revealed he had reached the third-grade Earth Immortal realm, and the Divine Turtle asked him to share a drink.

Venerable Wushi visited Su Hao after finding no trace of him in the Reincarnation Book, which recorded the past lives and experiences of beings across the Three Realms. He left Su Hao with no explanation for the anomaly, while revealing that even Buddha Venerate had not transcended reincarnation.

• Su Hao welcomed Venerable Wushi, who explained that the Reincarnation Book recorded the past lives and experiences of all beings touched by reincarnation.
• Su Hao realized someone had asked Venerable Wushi to investigate his origins, but Wushi said the book contained no trace of Su Hao's aura or Spiritual Energy.
• Venerable Wushi said Su Hao had not transcended reincarnation and was the first person he had encountered who was absent from the book without Wushi removing him.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant suggested Su Hao might have transcended reincarnation, and Wushi explained that transcendence meant having no past or future lives.
• Venerable Wushi said Buddha Venerate had left the Reincarnation Book but had not transcended reincarnation, then silenced the Six-Tusked White Elephant in white mist.

After Venerable Wushi erased the Six-Tusked White Elephant’s memory of their encounter, Su Hao agreed to let Ji Ruyue undergo tribulation and become an immortal of the Taihao Sacred Dynasty. A year later, Ji Ruyue began her tribulation as Di Han neared his own.

• Venerable Wushi vanished with the mist, and the Six-Tusked White Elephant forgot what had just happened.
• Su Hao declined to spar with the elephant when it nervously refused his challenge.
• Jin Ji and Shui Sheng asked Su Hao to give Ji Ruyue a chance to become immortal, and he agreed on the condition that she serve the Taihao Sacred Dynasty.
• Jin Ji and Shui Sheng told Ji Ruyue the news and began preparing for her ascension.
• A year later, Ji Ruyue underwent a rare blue-and-violet heavenly tribulation in the Chiqing Realm as Di Han said his own tribulation was approaching.

After Di Han reached completion, she told Su Hao that Golden Crow tradition required her to receive a Solar Fire Seed at the ancestral Nirvana Platform rather than undergo a tribulation. Su Hao sought another way to obtain the seed and contacted True Lord Juyuan, who reported Li Zhuo's growing power in the lower realms.

• Su Hao sensed Di Han's breakthrough and congratulated her on recovering and reaching completion with the Nine Yang Immortal Herb and Solar Gold Dew.
• Di Han explained that Golden Crow custom required her to return to the ancestral land for a Solar Fire Seed, and Su Hao refused to let her disregard the tradition by undergoing a tribulation.
• Su Hao considered accompanying Di Han or contacting her clan, then decided to seek a Solar Fire Seed through his Immortal Realm connections.
• Su Hao contacted True Lord Juyuan, who reported that Li Zhuo had unified thirteen mortal realms and commanded more than a hundred True Immortals.
• Su Hao asked True Lord Juyuan for a wisp of Solar Fire Seed.

Su Hao refused to accompany the White Tiger Star Lord to the Heavenly Court, despite its show of force, and sought Buddha Venerate’s help. Buddha Venerate agreed to explain matters to the Heavenly Court in exchange for Su Hao supporting three Buddhist cultivators, leaving the Star Lord uncertain how to proceed.

• The White Tiger Star Lord arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain with the Giant Spirit God and explained that Su Hao’s hundred-year term had ended, so he had to refine his divine armor and immortal decree and attend the Heavenly Emperor.
• Su Hao remembered he did not want to serve as Demon-Suppressing Divine General and called on Buddha Venerate for a way out.
• Buddha Venerate offered to explain Su Hao’s refusal to the Heavenly Court if Su Hao set aside territory and resources for three Buddhist cultivators to ascend as immortals.
• Su Hao agreed to Buddha Venerate’s request, returned to the hall, and told the White Tiger Star Lord to go back without him.
• The White Tiger Star Lord warned Su Hao that the Heavenly Court’s forces could threaten the Chiqing Realm, but Su Hao remained calm and said the Heavenly Emperor would receive an explanation.

Su Hao negotiated with White Tiger Star Lord to take in an unborn White Tiger and received the Solar Fire Seed in exchange for protecting her and keeping her origins secret. White Tiger Star Lord returned to the Heavenly Court, where the Heavenly Emperor revealed that Buddha Venerate had secured Su Hao another thousand years before he needed to return to the Immortal Realm.

• White Tiger Star Lord asked Su Hao to protect an unborn White Tiger because other powers might break their promises to shelter her.
• Su Hao agreed after White Tiger Star Lord gave him the Solar Fire Seed and promised to speak in his favor with the Heavenly Court.
• White Tiger Star Lord told Su Hao to conceal the child's origins and claim she came from an ancient immortal estate or land of inheritance if necessary.
• White Tiger Star Lord left Su Hao's courtyard and found that the Four Heavenly Kings had already withdrawn.
• White Tiger Star Lord reported that Su Hao would refrain from returning to the Immortal Realm for now, and the Heavenly Emperor said Buddha Venerate had won Su Hao another thousand years.
• The Heavenly Emperor wondered whether Su Hao refused to serve him because he had borne a grudge in a past life.

Su Hao broke the restriction sealing Xing Wenyin, the daughter of White Tiger Star Lord and a Netherflame Evil Fox, and discovered her unstable Immortal-Demon Spawn bloodline. After she escaped the egg and attacked him, she tried to flee and break through his array, but remained trapped inside it and finally transformed into her White Tiger form to fight him.

• Su Hao removed the restriction around the egg and saw that Xing Wenyin was a young girl with both White Tiger and Netherflame Evil Fox bloodlines.
• Xing Wenyin broke out of the egg, swallowed its remains, and attacked Su Hao when he stopped her from fleeing.
• Su Hao told Xing Wenyin that White Tiger Star Lord had entrusted her to him, but she rejected him as her Master and tried to escape.
• Xing Wenyin realized Su Hao's array had kept her circling within an enclosed space, then failed to break through it with her attacks.
• Xing Wenyin threatened to kill Su Hao and transformed into a winged White Tiger surrounded by wind, lightning, and dark evil power.

Su Hao learned that Xing Wenyin carried both sacred white tiger and Netherflame Evil Fox bloodlines, making her an Immortal-Demon Spawn hunted by both realms and vulnerable to a dangerous bloodline curse. After the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle warned him about the curse, Su Hao examined Xing Wenyin and saw a strange mist in her bloodline before it vanished.

• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle discovered that Xing Wenyin carried the bloodline of a Netherflame Evil Fox, and the Six-Tusked White Elephant explained that her mixed parentage violated a serious taboo.
• The two beasts warned Su Hao that Xing Wenyin could be hunted by the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm, and that Immortal-Demon Spawn could suffer unstable power and succumb to a curse that drove them to slaughter.
• Su Hao pretended to accept Xing Wenyin's challenge to kill her, then stopped the Six-Tusked White Elephant from attacking her and tossed her aside.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle warned Su Hao about the curse as Xing Wenyin tried to flee, and Su Hao seized her with a giant hand and examined her.
• Su Hao saw a strange, snake-like mist deep in Xing Wenyin's bloodline through his Through-Glimpse Divine Eye, but it vanished immediately.

Xing Wenyin spent ten years challenging Su Hao and losing, until he told her to defeat his disciple Qin Yue before challenging him again. She sought Qin Yue out and began a duel to prove herself, with Qin Yue demanding that Xing Wenyin show Su Hao respect if she lost.

• The Six-Tusked White Elephant mocked Xing Wenyin’s boast that she would withstand Su Hao’s sword strike, and she retorted that he would become her servant instead.
• For ten years, Xing Wenyin challenged Su Hao each year and was defeated, until he told her to beat Qin Yue before challenging him again.
• Xing Wenyin found Qin Yue and offered her spirit fruits before asking for a spar, while Qin Yue recognized them as fruit grown by Little Cai and Little Jin.
• Qin Yue reminded Xing Wenyin that she had bothered Su Hao for years and agreed to fight, proposing that Xing Wenyin show Su Hao respect if Qin Yue won.
• Xing Wenyin accepted Qin Yue’s condition and lunged at her, arguing that Su Hao had beaten her through cultivation rather than sword technique.

Su Hao rebuked Qin Yue for hesitating in her fight with Xing Wenyin, gave her the Jade Child Sword, and urged her to win by any means. With the Six-Tusked White Elephant’s secret art, Qin Yue severely wounded Xing Wenyin, while an unknown immortal light descended near Phoenix Perch Mountain two years later.

• Su Hao told Qin Yue that victory meant life and defeat meant death, and ordered her to delay Xing Wenyin for a hundred years or leave Phoenix Perch Mountain.
• Su Hao gave Qin Yue the Jade Child Sword, and Qin Yue vowed to use it against Xing Wenyin.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant taught Qin Yue the Avici Four Absolute Seal and gave her a relic to help her wield it.
• Four months later, Qin Yue used the Jade Child Sword and the Avici Four Absolute Seal to severely wound Xing Wenyin.
• Xing Wenyin returned to heal and resolved to defeat Qin Yue so she could reach the Demon Realm and find her mother.
• Two years later, an inconspicuous streak of immortal light descended outside Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Giant Spirit God Yue Shanting offered Su Hao the Giant Spirit Clan’s Dao Pattern Immortal Iron to settle their grudge. Su Hao remained suspicious of Yue Shanting’s motives as the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle returned the treasure to him and Yue Shanting swore he meant no harm.

• Yue Shanting presented Su Hao with the Giant Spirit Clan’s mysterious immortal iron, explaining its value and its sword-path inscription.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle was drawn by the immortal iron’s aura, seized it, and appeared beside Su Hao.
• Yue Shanting explained his past conflicts with Su Hao and offered the treasure to resolve their enmity.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle mocked Yue Shanting’s lavish offer and proposed keeping the immortal iron as payment for mediating.
• Yue Shanting insisted the matter was between him and Su Hao, and the Divine Turtle tossed the immortal iron to Su Hao.
• Su Hao questioned Yue Shanting’s motives, and Yue Shanting swore that he harbored no malicious intent.

Su Hao planted three Immortal peach pits at Phoenix Perch Mountain and watched the saplings grow over the next three years. When Chi Chen arrived with the Darkwater Realm’s other Demon-Suppressing Divine Generals, Yuan Wu and Feng Ming, Su Hao finally met them after they waited outside the Chiqing Realm for three days.

• Su Hao tasted an Immortal peach, gave one to the Six-Tusked White Elephant, and decided to plant the pits at Phoenix Perch Mountain.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant buried the first pit, while Su Hao planted two more and shared the third peach between Little Cai and Little Jin.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant cared for the pits, and Little Cai used Dragon Race water-element divine arts to nourish them until three saplings sprouted within a month.
• Three years later, the saplings had grown into small trees but had not yet borne fruit.
• Chi Chen arrived outside the Chiqing Realm with Yuan Wu and Feng Ming, and the three Divine Generals waited politely for three days.
• Su Hao appeared to greet the visitors, and Feng Ming saluted him and praised his reputation and support for the Darkwater Realm.

Feng Ming tried to reconcile Su Hao with the Darkwater Realm by offering compensation for Chi Chen’s offenses and punishing him with the God-Striking Whip. Chi Chen endured several devastating strikes, and Feng Ming’s punishment was still underway.

• Feng Ming urged Su Hao to return the divine armor and explained its importance to the Darkwater Heavenly Army.
• Su Hao accused Chi Chen of attacking him and killing True Immortals from his Chiqing Realm, while Chi Chen claimed the Black-Whiskered Dragon was responsible.
• Feng Ming reprimanded Chi Chen, offered compensation, and produced the God-Striking Whip as punishment.
• Chi Chen knelt and accepted the punishment, and Feng Ming struck him twice, jolting his Primordial Spirit from his body and cracking it.
• Feng Ming warned Chi Chen that she would not let him recover between strikes, then struck him three more times as his screams filled the hall.

Feng Ming and Yuan Wu left without retrieving the divine armor, while Su Hao wondered about their motives and the unpaid Devil Race Primordial Spirits. Fifteen years later, Xing Wenyin asked to become Su Hao’s disciple, and he set strict conditions for her apprenticeship.

• Feng Ming and Yuan Wu took the gravely wounded Chi Chen and left the Chiqing Realm after bowing to Su Hao.
• Su Hao counted the one hundred thousand Devil Race Primordial Spirits in his crystal sphere and resolved to collect the remaining debt later.
• After fifteen years, Xing Wenyin asked Su Hao to take her as his master, explaining that she wanted to learn the Sword Dao to defeat him.
• Su Hao agreed to consider Xing Wenyin’s request but required her to attend lessons at the Meridian Hall of Wan Guang Peak for ten years.
• Su Hao assigned Xing Wenyin to clean Phoenix Perch Mountain using only a bamboo-twig broom, forbidding spiritual power, spells, and other tricks.

Zhan Xuan returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain after reclaiming the Thunder Dao Fruit, and Su Hao tested his strength in a battle beyond the Chiqing Realm. Their spar ended in a draw, but Zhan Xuan realized Su Hao had held back and still could not gauge his full power.

• Zhan Xuan arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain, offered Su Hao Thunder Spirit Marrow Fluid, and explained how he had regained the Thunder Dao Fruit in the Nine Heavens Thunder Abyss.
• Su Hao invited Zhan Xuan to spar, and they appeared in the void beyond the Chiqing Realm as the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle, the Six-Tusked White Elephant, and the Golden Crow watched.
• Zhan Xuan unleashed his lightning arts and Kirin form with the Thunder Dao Fruit, displaying most of the strength he had possessed as the Thunder Heavenly Lord.
• The battle lasted an incense stick and ended in a draw, though Zhan Xuan could not force Su Hao to reveal his full strength.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle explained that Su Hao’s immense foundation and potential made his combat power difficult to measure, especially without a true life-or-death opponent.

Su Hao used Star Stones to strengthen the Dragon Palace while cultivating with the Dao Pattern Immortal Iron. The Dragon Palace awakened a physical Artifact Spirit, and a memory revealed that Dragon Emperor Jingji had sacrificed his daughter Yao Yao to forge the sword.

• Su Hao spent three years contacting the serpent-shaped sword pattern in the Dao Pattern Immortal Iron and stirring its hidden sword qi.
• Su Hao chose to enhance the Dragon Palace with more than a hundred Star Stones because the World Annihilation Sword required far more to advance.
• After absorbing the Star Stones, the Dragon Palace manifested a young woman with dragon horns and a tail as its Artifact Spirit.
• Su Hao grasped the Dragon Palace and saw a memory of Dragon Emperor Jingji forging it with the help of three thousand Dragon Clan members.
• The memory showed Jingji sacrificing his youngest daughter, Yao Yao, to merge with the sword, then cursing her resentment for preventing the Dragon Palace from becoming a Creation artifact.

After ten years of cultivation, Su Hao absorbed the Sword Origin from immortal iron and discovered its power could greatly enhance his attacks. He began exploring Dragon Palace’s abilities with Wan Jun, whose true identity and capacity to cultivate independently surprised him.

• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle sensed immortal swords chime in unison but could not reach Su Hao, who had blocked outside contact during his cultivation.
• Ten years later, the immortal iron shattered after Su Hao absorbed and mastered its Sword Origin, giving his attacks a new, artifact-piercing sharpness.
• Su Hao summoned Dragon Palace and realized that holding the sword caused Wan Jun, its spirit, to feel the sensation as though he were touching her.
• Su Hao released Dragon Palace and asked Wan Jun to help him fight their enemies, promising not to use the Creation Immortal Artifact casually.
• Su Hao inspected Wan Jun’s information and learned that she was Ao Xiaoyao, an Early Immortal King who could cultivate independently and wield Dragon Clan inheritances through Dragon Palace.

Xing Wenyin rebelled against Su Hao’s demand that she sweep the grounds and fled Phoenix Perch Mountain, while Su Hao left the door open for her to learn from him if she changed her attitude. Later, the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle told Su Hao about a mysterious divine weapon, but their discussion shifted when it noticed Wan Jun with Di Han.

• Su Hao insisted that Xing Wenyin obey her Master and continue sweeping, while Little Cai urged her to be patient and temper herself.
• Xing Wenyin rejected Su Hao and Little Cai’s advice, declared that she would never become his disciple, and fled down the mountain as a White Tiger phantom.
• Su Hao said he would teach Xing Wenyin if she later respected him and followed his instructions, and Little Cai went to try to speak with her.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle told Su Hao that a divine weapon had appeared years earlier and proposed that they find and claim it together.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle noticed Wan Jun sharing fire jade cake with Di Han in the courtyard pavilion.

Su Hao revealed Dragon Palace, a creation immortal artifact, and Wan Jun accepted a broken immortal sword fragment from the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle. Their meeting was interrupted by the Moon-Devouring Great Demon, who demanded the Blood Sin Dragon for Li Zhuo, leaving Su Hao to confront the message from his transformed former disciple.

• The Moon-Devouring Great Demon demanded that Su Hao hand over the Blood Sin Dragon on the orders of the Exalted One.
• The demon showed Su Hao an image of Li Zhuo, who revealed that he had once been Su Hao's disciple and wanted the Blood Sin Dragon taken away.
