• The Glazed Heavenly Emperor explained that this was the Third Great Calamity and agreed that the Heavenly Dao Will might have recovered during the long gap since the second.

Ye Qingci returned after sleeping for hundreds of years in the Ninth Secret Realm, and she chose to let Quasi-Emperor Huo Li absorb the Green Grass Great Array’s Source Power of Emperors before attempting her own breakthrough. Huo Li entered the array’s core to cultivate, while Fang Chen asked Little Grass to watch over him.

Fang Chen sent Myna Bird, Little Crane, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to the Great Yi Demon Realm to kill the awakened pseudo-Demon Race members and devour their energy. Myna Bird and his companions began attacking the gathered pseudo-Demons, with Little Star’s vines trapping even Quasi-Emperors and draining their power.

• Fang Chen ordered his companions to go to the Great Yi Demon Realm and kill the remaining pseudo-Demon Race members.
• The pseudo-Demon Race members awoke to find the Demonic Qi, Blood Clouds, and true Devil Race royals gone.
• Little Crane brought Myna Bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine into the Great Yi Demon Realm.
• Myna Bird sensed more than three thousand Quasi-Emperor pseudo-Demons and, reassured by Little Star’s strength, led the attack.
• Myna Bird charged the pseudo-Demons while the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm rushed forward and Little Star’s vines ensnared and drained them.

The Chaos Demonic Star Vine trapped the pseudo-Demons in the Great Yi Demon Realm while Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm fought them. Meanwhile, Fang Chen arrived at the Buddhist Land and gathered the races’ core members, who greeted him as the Floating Immortal Great Emperor.

• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine captured pseudo-Demons, and some self-destructed to break free, causing limited damage to its vines.
• Myna bird ordered the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to block the exit of the Great Yi Demon Realm and keep the pseudo-Demons from escaping.

• Fang Chen arrived at the Buddhist Land and summoned the core members of the various races into the Swallowing Heaven Tower’s First-Layer Space.
• The gathered representatives bowed to Fang Chen as the Floating Immortal Great Emperor and wondered how much stronger he had become.

Fang Chen told the gathered Cultivators that the Savage World's Origin had developed a consciousness that severed the Ascension Passage and caused the Primordial Era calamity. He began explaining the World Will's history and recovery, leaving everyone shocked and enraged by the Devil Race's ancient betrayal.

• Fang Chen warned the gathered Cultivators not to repeat what he told them unless the listener had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
• Fang Chen revealed that the Savage World's Origin had developed a consciousness in the Primordial Era, known as the World Will or Heavenly Dao Will.
• Fang Chen explained that the World Will severed the Ascension Passage because it considered Cultivators a drain on the world's power.
• Fang Chen recounted how Primordial Era Cultivators fought the World Will, causing countless deaths and grievously wounding it.
• The Cultivators learned that the Devil Race had betrayed the Ancient Heavenly Court during the Second Great Calamity, and they cursed the Devil Race.
• Fang Chen said that the World Will had recovered, shocking the crowd.

Fang Chen revealed that Great Emperors summoned to the Land of Ending had survived there and become Half-Immortals, giving the gathered cultivators powerful allies against the World Will. He shared the Star Imprint technique brought back by the Glazed Heavenly Emperor, which could help cultivators reach those allies in the Outer Heavens.

• Fang Chen explained that the World Will had created the Land of Ending to kill Great Emperors, but some had survived and prepared to fight it.
• Fang Chen said the Glazed Heavenly Emperor had sent word through the Glazed Pagoda and revealed the secrets of the Land of Ending to him.
• Fang Chen announced that Senior Glazed and the others had brought back the Star Imprint, a technique created by the Star Heavenly Emperor.
• Fang Chen explained that cultivators of the Star Imprint could be sensed and brought to the Outer Heavens, then froze when he realized he could speak of that place freely.

Fang Chen revealed that Outer Heavens could hide cultivators from the World Will, then inscribed the Star Imprint Secret Method on Tianzhu City's Square. Most cultivators struggled to practice it, and the chapter left Fang Chen enduring its violent effects with help from the energy of the Blood Prison Demon Emperor's corpse.

• Fang Chen explained that Outer Heavens was a Special Space beyond the World Will's perception and could offer refuge from the summons of the Land of Ending.
• Fang Chen inscribed the Star Imprint Secret Method into the Square's paving stones so everyone could learn it.
• The cultivators found that practicing the Star Imprint made their Vital Blood churn and threatened to throw their power out of control.
• Fang Chen and a little over a hundred powerful Human and Demon Race cultivators continued practicing as the others stopped.
• After an hour, everyone but Fang Chen had quit, while the Floating Immortal Ring fed him energy from the Blood Prison Demon Emperor's corpse as he struggled through the method.

Fang Chen discovered that cultivating the Star Imprint caused Blood Qi and Internal Force to run wild, so he began deducing the secret method while leading everyone in reciting the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture. The recitation greatly strengthened Soul Perception and supplied him with Faith Power as Little Grass expanded the Green Grass Great Array.

• Fang Chen stopped cultivating the Star Imprint after his Blood Qi churned violently, and Ye Qingci told him that the others had nearly suffered cultivation deviation as well.
• Fang Chen suspected the World Will had altered the Star Imprint and told everyone to recite the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture while he investigated it.
• Fang Chen led the cultivators in reciting the scripture, boosting their Soul Perception more than a hundredfold and drawing golden Faith Power into himself.
• Fang Chen asked Ye Qingci to guard him, then began deducing the Star Imprint Secret Method while the Floating Immortal Sword and Faith Power replenished his Soul Power.
• Little Grass absorbed the growing Golden Spring Water and expanded the Green Grass Great Array, hoping to spread it across the Savage World and weaken the World Will.

Fang Chen’s consciousness entered a starry expanse and witnessed a giant whose changing forms revealed the circulation of Stellar Power. He awakened with a stronger body and soul and a newly expanded, fully mastered Star Imprint Secret Method, then sensed that something in the heavens was watching him.

• Fang Chen’s consciousness rose from the Golden Spring Sea into a starry expanse where the stars formed a giant with rivers of stars running through its body.
• Golden light entered the giant and gathered in a nebula at its dantian as Fang Chen’s body rose from the sea and absorbed sunlight.
• The giant transformed through the forms of many races and plants, and Fang Chen memorized the steady pattern of the cultivation technique flowing through it.
• The giant dispersed into stars, and the surrounding starry sky shattered, jolting Fang Chen’s consciousness awake with greater strength in his soul, Physical Body, and Vital Blood.
• Fang Chen mastered an expanded Star Imprint Secret Method with nine additional characters, and Ye Qingci explained the manifestations she had seen during his Enlightenment.
• Fang Chen sensed a pair of eyes watching him from the heavens and told everyone to return below.

Fang Chen replaced the Star Imprint Secret Method with a new version that everyone could cultivate, including Mortals. After discovering that it gave Mortals Stellar Power but not the ability to absorb Spiritual Qi, Fang Chen wondered whether he could create a method that would let them cultivate Spiritual Qi as well.

• Fang Chen erased the old Star Imprint from the Square and carved a new version with nine additional characters.
• The cultivators quickly mastered the new Star Imprint Secret Method and began absorbing Stellar Power from the stars.
• Fang Chen urged everyone to teach the method to Mortals, and the people of the Glazed Sword Sect taught it to their disciples and nearby inhabitants.
• Fang Chen and Ye Qingci observed that the method strengthened Mortals and gave some of them Stellar Power, though they still could not absorb Spiritual Qi.
• Fang Chen wondered whether he could create a Cultivation Technique that would let Mortals absorb Spiritual Qi and asked Ye Qingci what she thought.

Fang Chen considered creating a method that would let Mortals absorb Spiritual Qi, then visited the Ice Crystal Horned Tiger on Heaven Connecting Peak. The tiger revealed that mysterious dreams had strengthened him and that Thunder had struck him nine times, giving Fang Chen a possible clue about similar experiences involving Elder Yun and the others.

• Fang Chen told Ye Qingci he wanted to develop a Secret Method that would let Mortals absorb Spiritual Qi, and she encouraged him to try.
• Fang Chen and Ye Qingci went to Heaven Connecting Peak, where they found the Quasi-Emperor Ice Crystal Horned Tiger asleep.
• The Ice Crystal Horned Tiger, whom Fang Chen had once saved from the Ye Family, thanked him and explained that a mysterious summons had led him to cultivate on the peak.
• The tiger said he entered wondrous dreams while cultivating and grew much stronger after waking, reminding Fang Chen of Elder Yun and the others' Dream Realm.
• Fang Chen asked whether Thunder had ever struck the tiger, and the tiger said it had struck him nine times when he was young, nearly killing him each time but making his body stronger when he survived.

Fang Chen left Heaven Connecting Peak after discovering that the Ice Crystal Horned Tiger’s strange cultivation dreams were tied to the place’s sparse Space Dao Patterns. Back at the Glazed Sword Sect, he entered the Swallowing Heaven Tower to create a Cultivation Technique that people without Spiritual Roots could use, hoping to leave behind a legacy before the World Will awakened.

• Fang Chen examined Heaven Connecting Peak and found its Space Dao Patterns unusually sparse, but he could not explain why the Ice Crystal Horned Tiger entered a wondrous dream only when cultivating there.
• The Ice Crystal Horned Tiger offered to leave the peak for Fang Chen, but Fang Chen instead departed with Ye Qingci.
• Fang Chen returned to the Glazed Sword Sect and summoned the Swallowing Heaven Tower, then asked Ye Qingci whether she would join him in seclusion.
• Fang Chen brought Ye Qingci into the tower’s Ninth-Layer Space, where he offered her a choice of the Supreme Emperor Weapons he had taken from the Devil Race.
• Fang Chen entered the Void of the Ninth-Layer Space to create a Cultivation Technique that let people absorb Spiritual Qi without a Spiritual Root, intending to pass down his legacy before the World Will awakened.

Fang Chen sought to create a Cultivation Technique that would let mortals absorb Spiritual Qi, believing it could slow the growth of the World Origin. After Myna bird and the others returned from destroying the pseudo-Demon Race in the Great Yi Demon Realm, Fang Chen enlisted Myna bird to help study Cultivation Techniques.

• Fang Chen asked Ye Qingci, Palace Mistress Lingxin, the Elf Queen, the Goddess Empress, the Nether Emperor, and the Demon Race leaders to gather Cultivation Technique Tomes for his research.
• Myna bird reported that the pseudo-Demon Race members in the Great Yi Demon Realm had been killed, though Myna bird, Little Star, and Chi You had not reached the Great Accomplishment Quasi-Emperor realm.
• Little Crane brought Myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine into the Ninth-Layer Space of the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• Fang Chen explained that mortals absorbing Spiritual Qi could retain the world's energy and live longer, potentially slowing the growth of the World Origin, and asked Myna bird to help study the gathered techniques.
• Fang Chen brought up the Star Imprint method on a Light Screen so Myna bird and Chi You could practice while they waited for the Cultivation Techniques.

Myna Bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm practiced the Star Imprint, discovering that Stellar Power strengthened them and helped Myna Bird break his internal Seals. Meanwhile, Myna Bird’s clones finished studying the Cultivation Techniques, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm continued absorbing sunlight above the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

• Myna Bird found that absorbed sunlight stripped away Dao Patterns from his Seals, so he transformed into his true form to absorb more power.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm discovered that Stellar Power fused with his Bloodline Power and Emperor Source Power, then transformed to absorb it faster through his Natal Spirit Pearl.
• Cultivators across the Barbaric Continent practiced the Star Imprint alongside their existing techniques, with some absorbing energy from the Golden Spring Sea as well.
• After Palace Mistress Lingxin and the others sent Cultivation Techniques to the Swallowing Heaven Tower, Myna Bird shed feathers that became clones to study them while he practiced outside.
• A year later, Myna Bird’s clones finished reading the Cultivation Techniques, and Fang Chen brought Myna Bird into the tower while the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm continued absorbing sunlight.

Fang Chen searched through the myna bird’s collected cultivation techniques and began developing one to strengthen mortals’ Spiritual Roots. Strange images of familiar figures appeared in his mind, and the Ancient Yu Quasi-Emperor concluded they were memories from Fang Chen’s past.

• The myna bird transferred the techniques from his clones to Fang Chen, who spent three months selecting useful ones.
• Fang Chen drew inspiration from Great Emperor theories and began creating a technique to strengthen mortals’ Spiritual Roots, using energy from the Blood Prison Demon Emperor’s corpse and the Floating Immortal Sword.
• Fang Chen saw strange images of Palace Mistress Lingxin, Yue Canglan, and Li Qingyao, who appeared young, and told Ye Qingci about them.
• Fang Chen and Ye Qingci went to Longevity Valley, where the Ancient Yu Quasi-Emperor examined Fang Chen.
• The Ancient Yu Quasi-Emperor told Fang Chen that the images in his mind were likely memories from his past.

Fang Chen learned that the visions he had seen might be forgotten memories, but he chose to pursue cultivation instead of asking others about them. He flew toward the sun to restore his Soul Power and discovered a powerful Barrier protecting it.

• Ancient Yu Quasi-Emperor told Fang Chen that his visions were likely lost memories, which might return as his Cultivation and soul grew stronger.
• Fang Chen declined to visit Palace Mistress Lingxin and Yue Canglan, deciding to focus on cultivation and recover his Soul Power among the stars.
• Ye Qingci warned Fang Chen that space was dangerous, and he flew toward the sun with the Floating Immortal Sword.
• Fang Chen absorbed Solar Power and saw the Golden Sea covering the Barbaric Continent, with crimson bare rock surrounding it.
• Fang Chen encountered the sun's Barrier, found that it was formed from countless Mysterious Runes, and drew the Floating Immortal Sword across it.

Fang Chen broke through layers of the sun’s Barrier to absorb Solar Power and spent two years creating the Spiritual Energy Art. He realized that combining it with Star Imprint and the Floating Immortal Art might let ordinary people cultivate, and began attempting the fusion.

• Fang Chen cut through the sun’s outer Barrier with the Floating Immortal Sword and absorbed its Solar Power to strengthen himself and develop a Cultivation Technique.
• Fang Chen broke through thirteen layers of Barriers, using the increasingly powerful Solar Power to refine his body, Blood Qi, and soul.
• After two years of experimentation, Fang Chen created the Spiritual Energy Art, a technique with a low threshold that absorbed Spiritual Qi more slowly than the Floating Immortal Art.
• Fang Chen realized that Star Imprint could help people without Spiritual Roots strengthen themselves until they could sense and absorb Spiritual Qi.
• Fang Chen began combining Star Imprint, the Spiritual Energy Art, and the Floating Immortal Art to make cultivation accessible to ordinary people.
