• Myna bird suggested that Fang Chen flip a Copper Coin, and Fang Chen agreed to let the result decide between the two routes.

As the treasures were sorted, the myna bird and Little Crane discovered a White Stone far larger than the ones Little Crane had found before.

• Fang Chen sent Little Crane, Huahua, and Chi You to help Huo Li settle matters on Mantis Mountain, then entered seclusion at its summit to study the Floating Immortal Great Array.

• Little Crane discovered that the White Stone could help her grow stronger, but neither Ye Qingci's nor the myna bird's Personal Puppet could identify it.

• Fang Chen chose to remain in the Outer Heavens and create a fairer cultivation realm for Cultivators oppressed by the Five Great Families.

• Fang Chen returned to cultivating on Mantis Mountain and spent a year perfecting the Floating Immortal Battle Array.
• Fang Chen taught the perfected array to Ye Qingci, Great Emperor Huo Li, Myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm.

• Great Emperor Huo Li activated the Floating Immortal Battle Array, and Formation Runes appeared on all four participants as surrounding Fire Origin power surged toward him.

Fang Chen tested the Floating Immortal Battle Array with Ye Qingci, Great Emperor Huo Li, the myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, finding that they could merge into it smoothly and greatly increase its power.

• Fang Chen crafted 108 Floating Immortal Beads to fix the Floating Immortal Battle Array Flaw and gave them to Great Emperor Huo Li to distribute.
• Fang Chen began studying Meteor Tears, while Great Emperor Huo Li organized array training and Ye Qingci returned to cultivation.
• Cultivators across Golden Cicada Ridge, Mantis Mountain, and the Chen Family learned the freely distributed Floating Immortal Battle Array, prompting Chen Family members to worry that it threatened the Five Great Families' control.
• After ten years in seclusion, Fang Chen completed a million Meteor Tears using Immortal Material Green Gold he had mined from the Green Gold Mountain Range.
• Fang Chen tested the Meteor Tears and found that their power ranged from killing ordinary Great Emperors to Fourth Revolution True Immortals, but he was disappointed that they remained weaker than he had hoped.

• Fang Chen gave Great Emperor Huo Li a Storage Ring containing Meteor Tears, including some that could kill Fourth Revolution True Immortals.
• Fang Chen told Great Emperor Huo Li and the myna bird that he planned to improve his refining methods until he could make Meteor Tears capable of killing Great Immortals.
• The myna bird asked to accompany Fang Chen into seclusion, and Fang Chen agreed.
• As Fang Chen and the myna bird flew up Mantis Mountain, the Spatial Pressure began loosening the myna bird’s seals, so it decided to cultivate there.
• Fang Chen continued alone toward the summit.

Fang Chen spent a hundred years refining a new batch of Meteor Tears, while the Myna bird and Ye Qingci reached the summit with strength on par with Great Immortals. The batch included many varieties, and Fang Chen ended by examining a rare set of Gray Meteor Tears whose power remained unknown.

• The Myna bird flew toward the summit, where Spatial Pressure weakened the Seal inside it and released energy from its Natal Spirit Pearl.
• After thirty years of research, Fang Chen used the Heaven Refining Furnace to refine Meteor Tears, while his Manifestations and a Mysterious Silhouette drove attacks and Dao Patterns into the furnace.
• The furnace devoured energy for over a hundred years, underwent Tribulation Transcendence, and returned a month later with countless Meteor Tears.
• The Myna bird reached Fang Chen and revealed its Cultivation had risen to the Half-Immortal Realm, while Ye Qingci also arrived at the summit with Great Immortal strength.
• Fang Chen, the Myna bird, and Ye Qingci examined the new Meteor Tears, including Nine-Colored ones and only a hundred small Gray Meteor Tears.
