• Lin Xiao urged everyone to honor the fallen and carry their legacy forward, prompting the crowd to vow together to guard the mountains and rivers.

• Fang Chen brought Lin Xiao to Abyss-Suppressing Hall and asked the gathered experts to find a way to rebuild his Dao Foundation and restore his path to immortality.

Medicine Dao experts found that Lin Xiao’s Dao Foundation and life force were collapsing under the Five Clans’ Curse Seals, and none could offer a conventional cure. Just as Fang Chen and the others faced despair, the Fire Spirit proposed letting the foundation decay completely as material for a possible nirvana.

• The Rejuvenation Immortal King examined Lin Xiao and said his Curse Seals were causing irreversible collapse that only a time-reversing treasure with supreme Life Origin might stop.

• Fire Spirit explained that Lin Xiao’s failing Dao Foundation would need to be destroyed so his remaining True Spirit could be reborn using Phoenix Essence Blood.

• Fang Chen departed for the Primordial Barrier with Myna bird and Chi You, declining the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor’s offer to join him.

• Fang Chen bid farewell to Ye Qingci and flew toward the Primordial Barrier to reach the Evilfire Phoenix’s nest.

Inside the Swallowing Heaven Tower, the Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm also tested whether they could absorb the fragments, and both began doing so.

• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi ordered the defenses at Heavenly Chasm Gorge strengthened and the Five Clans’ remnants watched until Fang Chen returned.
• Fang Chen entered the Sea of Laws and used his Darkness Devouring God Domain, Floating Immortal Sword, and cultivation to refine the Law Fragments he absorbed.
• After hearing the Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm claim they could absorb Law Fragments, Fang Chen used the Swallowing Heaven Tower to gather them into a Law Orb.
• The Myna bird absorbed fragments from the Law Orb, which dissolved Seal Runes on its Natal Spirit Pearl and released pure energy.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm also took a mouthful of Law Fragments and began devouring most of them with his teeth.

Fang Chen pressed into the Sea of Laws, cutting through mutated monsters as he searched for the Evilfire Phoenixes and Lin Xiao. Near their territory, he killed three Flame-Baleful Demon Birds and absorbed their energy.

• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Chaos Demonic Star Vine devoured Law Fragments, and the myna bird asked Fang Chen to let them cultivate outside the tower.
• Fang Chen refused to release them until he had found the Evilfire Phoenixes and rescued Lin Xiao, then raced deeper into the Sea of Laws.

• Fang Chen absorbed the three birds' remaining spheres of sinister Fire Attribute energy.

Fang Chen fought through the Evilfire Phoenixes’ territory and reached their Lair, where his aura broke through to the First-Turn Immortal Emperor realm. He asked the ten two-turn Immortal Emperor Evilfire Phoenixes for three drops of Phoenix Heart Essence Blood to save Lin Xiao, but they rejected him and prepared to devour him.

• Fang Chen sensed that the demon birds he killed had alerted others, so he headed directly toward the Core Region rather than hiding or taking a detour.

• Fang Chen discovered the Evilfire Phoenix Kingdom and confronted its ten two-turn Immortal Emperor Phoenixes.
• Fang Chen asked the Evilfire Phoenixes for three drops of Phoenix Heart Essence Blood to save Lin Xiao, but they accused him of invading their sacred ground and vowed to tear him apart and devour him.

After negotiations failed, Fang Chen fought ten two-turn Immortal Emperor Evilfire Phoenixes and used his Return to Ruin Sword Domain to consume their attacks. He overwhelmed their combined assault and ended with gray chains locking onto all ten Phoenixes’ Origin cores.

• Fang Chen attacked a nearby Evilfire Phoenix and erased part of its claw with One Sword Returns to Ruin.
• The leading Evilfire Phoenix ordered the others to attack, and all ten Phoenixes unleashed their Laws against Fang Chen.
• Fang Chen opened his Return to Ruin Sword Domain, which devoured and transformed the Phoenixes’ attacks.
• The Phoenixes combined their power into a heaven-burning strike, but Fang Chen met it with a vortex formed from the Floating Immortal Sword.
• Fang Chen expanded the vortex into gray chains that pierced the Phoenixes’ defenses and locked onto all ten of their Origin cores.

Fang Chen subdued ten Evilfire Phoenixes and extracted their Phoenix Heart Essence Blood to help Lin Xiao undergo Nirvana. Fire Spirit proposed a Lesser Celestial Cycle Nirvana Array, but the hundred drops they obtained were still eight short of its requirements.

• Fang Chen sealed the ten Evilfire Phoenixes and collected ten drops of Phoenix Heart Essence Blood.
• Fire Spirit revealed that a Lesser Celestial Cycle Nirvana Array could give Lin Xiao a powerful reborn bloodline using one hundred and eight drops of Phoenix Essence Blood.
• Fang Chen learned the Phoenix-Calling Blood Extraction Secret Art and promised to spare the phoenixes if they cooperated.
• Fang Chen used the Secret Art to extract ten drops from each of the ten Evilfire Phoenixes.
• The weakened phoenixes yielded a hundred drops, but extracting more risked their lives and the Essence Blood was still eight drops short.

Fang Chen collected a hundred drops of Phoenix Essence Blood, subdued the ten Evilfire Phoenixes, and brought the dying Lin Xiao to a stable region of the Sea of Laws. Fire Spirit began laying the Lesser Celestial Cycle Nirvana Array, while Fang Chen maintained a protected environment for the ritual.

• Fang Chen accepted Fire Spirit’s plan to use a hundred drops of Phoenix Essence Blood and draw out the missing eight through the array’s power.
• Fang Chen secured the blood in jade bottles, gained the submission of the ten Evilfire Phoenixes, marked them with restrictions, and stored them in the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• Fang Chen chose a stable, energy-rich location in the Sea of Laws and brought the tower, Fire Spirit, and Lin Xiao there.
• Fang Chen erected a barrier and prepared the site as Fire Spirit laid Lin Xiao on a jade platform above an Earth Vein energy node.
• Fire Spirit inscribed the array runes and placed the hundred drops of Phoenix Essence Blood at the designated nodes.

Fang Chen and Fire Spirit used the Lesser Celestial Cycle Nirvana Array to burn away Lin Xiao’s ruined body and begin forging him an Innate Dao Fetus. As the array reached its critical stage, a chilling call sounded from the depths of the Sea of Laws.

• Fire Spirit completed the array with a hundred drops of Phoenix Essence Blood and guided the Nirvana True Flame to burn away Lin Xiao’s damaged body.
• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to purify and absorb the Sea of Laws’ energy while his companions cultivated in the surrounding chaos.
• Fire Spirit began the second stage, directing the array to gather the vitality of Creation and forge Lin Xiao a new Innate Dao Fetus.
• The array drew Innate Creation Qi into Lin Xiao’s cocoon as his body, Dao Foundation, and Divine Soul imprint began rebuilding.
• A mysterious call rose from the gray-white seawater as the array reached its most critical moment.

Fang Chen protected Lin Xiao’s Nirvana formation from a swarm of Law-Defiled Beasts while Lin Xiao’s Newborn Dao Embryo took shape. As the final Union of Spirit and Flesh began, the cocoon’s heartbeat stopped and a crack appeared across its surface.

• Dozens of Law-Defiled Beasts approached the Nirvana Grand Array, and Fang Chen left Fire Spirit to maintain the formation while he confronted them.
• Fang Chen opened his Return to Ruin Sword Domain and swiftly killed the beasts, absorbing and purifying their chaotic Law Fragments.

• Fang Chen resumed guarding the Pure Land as Fire Spirit carefully guided the final stage of Lin Xiao’s Nirvana.
• The cocoon’s heartbeat stopped, a surge of Phoenix vitality erupted, and a crack spread across its surface as Fang Chen and Fire Spirit watched.

Lin Xiao completed his nirvana in the Sea of Laws, emerging at Immortal King Peak with stronger foundations and a reborn Phoenix bloodline. Fang Chen and his companions prepared to return and secure the Ancient Region.
