• Saint Gu Yu told Fang Chen that Ye Kong had entered seclusion to comprehend something and had not come when summoned.

• Fang Chen examined the clones' Life-Bound Saint Weapons, decided to forge a set that could fuse together, and told them to keep cultivating.

He went with the Black Flame Saint to Heavenly Lake to study the damaged Glazed Pagoda, and learned that his late master might have known how the Glazed Saint's treasures came to the sect.

• Fang Chen and Myna bird agreed that his Nine Clones needed both swords and a defensive treasure, and Myna bird proposed making each clone one level of a pagoda.
• Fang Chen decided to use the Glazed Pagoda as a model and asked the Black Flame Saint about the Glazed Saint's missing treasures.
• The Black Flame Saint said he did not know why the damaged Glazed Sword, Glazed Mirror, and Glazed Pagoda had ended up in the sect, but Fang Chen's late master might have known.
• The Black Flame Saint took Fang Chen and Myna bird to Heavenly Lake, where Fang Chen judged the Sky Lake Barrier to be weak and learned it contained no Saint Patterns.

Fang Chen and the Black Flame Saint reached the frozen Heavenly Lake to enter the Glazed Pagoda. Fang Chen melted the ice, found the damaged pagoda beneath the lake, and approached its sealed entrance without the Glazed Bell.

• The Black Flame Saint explained that Heavenly Lake froze for most of the year and that the Glazed Bell usually opened the Trial Path.
• Fang Chen melted the lake's ice with his Sacred Flame and then drew the Flames back before they could evaporate the water.
• Fang Chen used the Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to see the Glazed Pagoda, buried beneath the lake with only one level remaining.
• Fang Chen spotted weaknesses in the pagoda's entrance Formation Runes and told the Black Flame Saint they could enter without the Glazed Bell.
• Fang Chen and the Black Flame Saint walked through the water to the pagoda's entrance, where more than a dozen Barriers protected its closed doors.

Fang Chen opened the Glazed Pagoda’s doors and breached the Barrier beyond them, then entered its inner space with Black Flame Saint. They discovered that unusual Saint Patterns throughout the space reacted to their auras and caused immense Spatial Pressure, which Fang Chen identified as a measure left by Senior Glazed.

• Fang Chen synchronized his Soul Origin with the waves from the Glazed Pagoda’s doors and opened them.
• Fang Chen found a powerful Barrier beyond the doors and used one of its flaws to make a passage through it.
• Fang Chen called Black Flame Saint over, and they entered the pagoda’s inner space together.
• The intense Spatial Pressure nearly forced Black Flame Saint to his knees, so Fang Chen used the Heaven Refining Furnace to shield him.
• Fang Chen learned that Black Flame Saint had entered the pagoda space when he was in the Qi Refining Realm and that the Glazed Bell had opened the passage.
• Fang Chen used the Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to identify Saint Patterns that reacted to their auras and generated the pressure.

Fang Chen and Uncle-Master Black Flame entered the Glazed Pagoda's inner space, where a mysterious force suppressed them and no humans could be sensed. They searched for Glazed Ancient City and the trial grounds, but after flying more than a hundred thousand miles, they still had not found either.

• Uncle-Master Black Flame realized the Glazed Pagoda's Saint Patterns suppressed anyone above the Qi Refining Realm, and Fang Chen sensed powerful Demonic Beasts but no humans.
• Fang Chen recalled the trial grounds, where the Glazed Sword Sect sent Qi Refining Realm disciples to gather Glazed Mushrooms, and decided to explore the pagoda with Uncle-Master Black Flame.
• Fang Chen said Glazed Ancient City should be in the pagoda's Core Region, and Uncle-Master Black Flame revealed he had never found it during his own time on the Trial Path.
• Fang Chen flew the Heaven Refining Furnace over a vast forest filled with Spirit Medicines and ruined cities while watching for danger with the Samsara Eye.
• After half an hour and more than a hundred thousand miles of flight, Fang Chen still could not find the trial grounds, and the myna bird remarked that the pagoda's space exceeded many Origin Worlds left by Great Emperors.

Fang Chen and his companions explored the Glazed Pagoda and found that it might be a Supreme Emperor Weapon, suggesting the Glazed Saint may have been a Great Emperor. They discovered a Black Scale Red Leaf Pine grove shrouded in Great Emperor formation patterns and prepared to enter it.

• Fang Chen reconsidered whether the Glazed Pagoda was a Supreme Emperor Weapon after noticing how vast its interior space was.
• Fang Chen, the Black Flame Saint, and the myna bird searched the pagoda for an hour before finding a grove of Black Scale Red Leaf Pine.
• Fang Chen's Spiritual Sense and the others' attempts to inspect the grove were blocked by a powerful force.
• The myna bird sensed Great Emperor formation patterns shrouding the grove, and the group suspected it was the trial grounds.
• Fang Chen asked Little Crane to take the Black Flame Saint into Spirit Crane Space before he entered the grove with the myna bird.

Fang Chen entered the Black Scale Red Leaf Pine forest, where immense pressure suppressed him but the Floating Immortal Sword supplied him with energy. The Myna bird recognized the forest as an Immortal Trapping Grand Array, suggesting that something extraordinarily powerful was sealed within the Glazed Pagoda Space.

• Fang Chen entered the pine forest and let its pressure carry him down to the ground while Little Crane and the Myna bird endured it too.
• Fang Chen found that his Spiritual Sense could not leave his body, while the Floating Immortal Sword fed energy into him and the pressure began loosening the Seal inside the Myna bird.
• Fang Chen struck a Black Scale Red Leaf Pine with the Floating Immortal Sword, but the blow barely marked its trunk and the tree quickly healed.
• The Myna bird identified the entire pine forest as an Immortal Trapping Grand Array stronger than the one in the Ten-Thousand-Year Peach Garden.
• Fang Chen wondered why the Formation had not attacked him directly, and the Myna bird insisted that it was still an Immortal Trapping Grand Array.

Fang Chen returned to the pine forest and discovered that the peaceful valley beyond it was an illusion concealing a desolate wasteland. The chapter left him and his companions standing amid scattered bones, unsure why the area looked different from the last time he visited.

• Fang Chen struck another Black Scale Red Leaf Pine with the Floating Immortal Sword, confirmed the trees did not retaliate, and continued into the forest.
• Fang Chen and the Black Flame Saint suspected Glazed Mushrooms appeared only when Heavenly Lake's ice melted.
• Fang Chen emerged from the pine forest and recognized the valley as the place where he had found the Glazed Ancient City years earlier.
• Fang Chen explained that the valley's flowers and Spirit Beasts had vanished when he entered it before, and Little Crane sensed something unusual about its space.
• Fang Chen entered the valley, causing the peaceful scenery to disappear and revealing a desolate Gobi Desert scattered with human and Demonic Beast bones.
• The myna bird confirmed Fang Chen's account, while Fang Chen wondered why the terrain differed from his previous visit.

Fang Chen and his companions crossed a strange space filled with the remains of past explorers, following a bell toward Glazed Ancient City. After traveling hundreds of miles through heavy spatial pressure and fog, they finally saw the city ahead.

• The myna bird and Little Crane discussed the corpses and recognized that Fang Chen had survived the Valley as a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.
• Fang Chen explained that he had found Glazed Ancient City on an earlier visit by following a bell, but did not know its direction from their current location.
• A bell rang behind Fang Chen, and he led the myna bird toward it despite increasing spatial pressure.
• Fang Chen flew hundreds of miles through thickening gray fog but could not see the city, so he continued on foot using the Floating Immortal Absolute Shadow Movement Technique.
• After crossing a mountain, Fang Chen saw Glazed Ancient City emerging through the thinning mist.

Fang Chen reached the Glazed Ancient City with the myna bird and Little Crane, crossed its nine-colored Barrier, and opened its gates. Inside, they encountered a corrosive Red Mist that Fang Chen remembered had poisoned him before, and he urged the myna bird to test it.

• Fang Chen found a nine-colored Barrier around the Glazed Ancient City, opened a passage through it, and led the myna bird and Little Crane across.
• Fang Chen pushed open the city's intact gates, entered through the white mist with his companions, and emerged onto a street strewn with bones and rusted weapons.
• A storm turned its raindrops into Red Mist, and Fang Chen protected himself with Saint Force as the mist began dissolving his shield.
• Fang Chen recalled that the Red Mist had poisoned him years earlier and that Ye Qingci had rescued him.
• Fang Chen asked the myna bird to try the Red Mist so he could learn what it was and how powerful it was.

Fang Chen and the myna bird investigated a strange street in the Glazed Ancient City, where rain became Red Mist that weakened the Seal inside the myna bird. After discovering the paving stones had no Origin Dao Patterns, Fang Chen continued down the street to find a way to pry one up, while the rain abruptly stopped.

• The myna bird stepped outside Fang Chen’s Saint Force barrier and found that Red Mist entered its body and corroded the Seal Runes within it.
• The myna bird told Fang Chen that the Red Mist could break its Seal, while the rain itself was ordinary water.
• Fang Chen struck a paving stone and swung his Floating Immortal Sword through the air, then realized the faint energy he absorbed came from the sword rather than the stone.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird examined the paving stones and found that they contained no Origin Dao Patterns.
• Fang Chen tried to wedge his sword between the paving stones, then walked down the street searching for a wider gap as the myna bird’s strength continued to rise.
• After Fang Chen had walked a thousand zhang, the rain and Red Mist vanished at once.

Fang Chen and the myna bird reached Glazed Hall, where the myna identified a damaged Ancient Cauldron as a Supreme Emperor Weapon. Unable to store it in his Floating Immortal Ring, Fang Chen struck it repeatedly with the Floating Immortal Sword, absorbing great surges of Spiritual Power.

• Fang Chen discovered that the strange paving stones and buildings had changed into ordinary bluestone and dilapidated structures, then headed toward Glazed Hall.
• Fang Chen climbed onto a rooftop and found that rising higher triggered thunder and Soul Pressure, which weakened when he descended.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird reached Glazed Hall and found a damaged Ancient Cauldron in the square before it.
• The myna bird inspected the cauldron and confirmed that it was a Supreme Emperor Weapon, though it had been damaged.
• Fang Chen failed to store the cauldron in his Floating Immortal Ring, then struck it with the Floating Immortal Sword and absorbed powerful surges of Spiritual Power.

Fang Chen failed to claim the damaged Ancient Cauldron, then discovered that touching the Glazed Hall’s doors activated his Glazed Battle Runes and removed the Spatial Pressure weighing on him. The Myna bird suspected the effect was connected to Fang Chen’s Glazed Golden Body Cultivation Technique.

• Fang Chen hacked at the Ancient Cauldron with the Floating Immortal Sword until the energy flowing back to him dwindled.
• Fang Chen tried to claim the Ancient Cauldron with his Spiritual Sense and blood, but both attempts failed, so he gave up.
• Fang Chen touched the Glazed Hall’s doors with the Floating Immortal Sword and then his hand, and the waves from them activated his Glazed Battle Runes.
• Fang Chen discovered that the activated runes made the Spatial Pressure vanish, while the Myna bird remained under its effects.
• The Myna bird suggested that the doors’ effect was connected to Fang Chen’s Glazed Golden Body Cultivation Technique.

Fang Chen entered the Glazed Hall and found that its runes had awakened the dark chamber, while a Nether Flower had regrown on the altar. When he and the myna bird approached it, its leaves produced a red Barrier that blocked their way.

• Fang Chen opened the Glazed Hall's doors and found its interior filled with dense Spiritual Qi but no red Barrier at the entrance.
• Fang Chen's Glazed Battle Runes lit the hall, revealing remains and weapons that broke apart into gray light and rose into the starry ceiling.
• Fang Chen spotted a Nether Flower regrown on the altar and recalled that Ye Qingci had eaten a flower from the same plant.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird approached the Nether Flower, whose red leaf patterns shone and formed a Barrier in their path.
• Little Crane identified the Barrier as a power of the Nether Flower, while the myna bird judged it weak enough to break through.

Fang Chen entered the Nether Flower’s Barrier, where it recognized him and accepted his Essence Blood, then carried him, Myna bird, and Little Crane beneath the Sacrificial Altar into a mysterious space. They descended toward a world of Magma, protected by the Nether Flower’s Barrier, with the Glazed Hall’s secrets still unfolding.

• The red Barrier opened for Fang Chen but shut out Little Crane and Myna bird, who guessed that his mastery of the Glazed Golden Body Secret Method made the Glazed Hall recognize him.
• Fang Chen touched the Nether Flower, and it cut his hand to absorb his Essence Blood, causing red Runes to spread across the Sacrificial Altar.
• When the Nether Flower attacked Myna bird and Little Crane, Fang Chen called them his friends, and it stopped at his command.
• The Sacrificial Altar sank through a black pool into a red-lit space filled with vengeful spirits, zombies, chains, and a world of Magma below.
• The Nether Flower guided the altar into the Magma world as the group remained protected inside its Barrier.

Fang Chen discovered a massive black coffin at the bottom of the magma world and revealed Mystifying Heaven Script across it with his blood. As he studied the script, he suddenly fell asleep, leaving Little Crane and Black Flame Saint worried while the Floating Immortal Sword began to glow and vibrate.

• Fang Chen used the Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to see through the magma and found an enormous black coffin at its depths.
• The Nether Flower spread its roots over the coffin, expanded its red Barrier, and let Fang Chen and his companions see the surrounding area.
• Fang Chen scraped the coffin with the Floating Immortal Sword, then let the Nether Flower draw his blood and drip it onto the surface.
• Fang Chen's blood revealed writing across the coffin, and the myna bird identified it as the Mystifying Heaven Script.
• Fang Chen studied the script until drowsiness overcame him and he collapsed asleep on the coffin.
• The myna bird told Little Crane that Fang Chen was only asleep as the Floating Immortal Sword began glowing and vibrating, startling Black Flame Saint.

The Black Flame Saint and his companions discovered that Fang Chen had fallen asleep after walking across the Black Coffin, and they remained trapped in the Glazed Pagoda without working Spirit Sword Talismans. In a dreamlike quarry, Fang Chen found that he could not use his Internal Force, struck a lifelike statue with the Floating Immortal Sword, and followed the sound of hammering.

• The Black Flame Saint left the Spirit Crane Space, confirmed Fang Chen was asleep, and agreed with the myna bird that the Black Coffin had likely caused it.
• The Black Flame Saint, the myna bird, and Little Crane found that their Spirit Sword Talismans could not reach anyone and waited beside Fang Chen.
• Fang Chen awoke in a quarry filled with lifelike statues and realized he could not use his Spiritual Sense or Internal Force.
• Fang Chen struck a human statue with the Floating Immortal Sword, saw it bleed, and received a surge of energy from the sword.
• Fang Chen apologized to the statue and carried the Floating Immortal Sword toward the sound of hammering.

Fang Chen met a mysterious old man carving a statue of him in a strange place the old man called a dream, then attacked when he refused to answer directly. The old man blocked the Floating Immortal Sword with his golden hand and sent Fang Chen flying.

• Fang Chen found a white-haired old man carving beneath a great tree and discovered the old man was making a statue that looked exactly like him.
• The old man revealed that he had known Fang Chen was there, though he gave evasive answers about the place and whether he could see.
• Fang Chen raised the Floating Immortal Sword at the old man, who opened his blue eyes and repeatedly accused him of wanting to cut him.
• Fang Chen swung at the old man, who blocked the Floating Immortal Sword with his golden hand and sent Fang Chen flying several dozen yards.

Fang Chen fought an old man in a dream and received a nine-layer version of the Glazed Golden Body Art. After waking atop the Black Coffin, he told the Black Flame Saint and the myna bird what he had gained, and the myna bird suspected the Mystifying Heaven Script on the coffin was the technique.

• Fang Chen repeatedly attacked the old man, drawing power from the Floating Immortal Sword until he knocked the old man down.
• The old man praised Fang Chen, dissolved into golden motes, and passed power and unfamiliar information into him.
• Fang Chen woke on the Black Coffin after a month and sorted through the information in his mind.
• Fang Chen realized he had obtained a nine-layer version of the Glazed Golden Body Art, whose Ninth Layer only a Great Emperor could master.
• The myna bird wondered whether the Mystifying Heaven Script on the Black Coffin was the Glazed Golden Body Art Fang Chen had obtained.

Fang Chen obtained the Ninth Layer of the Glazed Golden Body Art and considered whether the Glazed Saint had become a Great Emperor, though he remained unsure. After learning he had slept for a month, Fang Chen and his companions left the Glazed Pagoda and returned to the Glazed Hall.

• Fang Chen and the Black Flame Saint concluded that the Ninth Layer of the Glazed Golden Body Art might have been created by the Glazed Saint, who could have reached the Great Emperor Realm.
• Fang Chen remained uncertain whether the Glazed Saint had truly created the art or refined the Glazed Pagoda, and he wondered why no one knew if the saint had become a Great Emperor.
• The Black Flame Saint told Fang Chen he had slept for a whole month, so Fang Chen agreed to leave the Glazed Pagoda and return to the sect.
• Fang Chen, the Black Flame Saint, the myna bird, and Little Crane rode the Sacrificial Altar back with the Nether Flower's help.
• The group returned to the Glazed Hall, where the Black Flame Saint collapsed under the pressure and Little Crane took him into Spirit Crane Space.
• Fang Chen thanked the Nether Flower and left the Glazed Hall with the myna bird and Little Crane.
