• Fang Chen entered the web of Karmic Threads surrounding the flower and approached to within a hundred zhang before something changed.

After defeating the Nightmare Beast, Fang Chen realized he could search for Fate Mist Dust in places where fate was heavily disturbed and chose to investigate the Time Dragon Lizard’s remains. Guided by the Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor, Fang Chen and his companions reached the Ninefold Nether Abyss and found the lizard’s cursed skeleton and Reverse Scale.

• Fang Chen stored the Nightmare Beast’s corpse and concluded that Fate Mist Dust might be found where fate and time were severely disrupted.
• Fang Chen decided to seek the Time Dragon Lizard’s Reverse Scale and Fate Mist Dust in the Yellow Springs.
• The Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor opened a passage beneath the river and led Fang Chen, the myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm into the Ninefold Nether Abyss.
• Fang Chen used Chaos Radiance and the Time Bell to protect the group as they descended through the Time Curse’s distorted echoes.
• Fang Chen and his companions found the enormous cursed skeleton of the Time Dragon Lizard, with its Dark Gold Reverse Scale jutting from the cursed mass.

Fang Chen sought a source of pure Fate Mist Dust and learned of the dangerous Phantom Lethe Tributary, where the future sometimes appeared in fragments. He entered it through the Nine Abyss Whirlpool and found himself in a shifting mist filled with strange visions and an unstable river of Fate Stars.

• Fang Chen examined the cursed Reverse Scale and concluded its distorted Fate Mist Dust was too risky to use for refining the Heaven-Deceiving Pill.
• Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor told Fang Chen about the Forbidden Grounds called the Phantom Lethe Tributary and showed him how to find its entrance at the Nine Abyss Whirlpool.

• Fang Chen brought out the sealed Karma Soul-Severing Flower, drawing the dust toward the Jade Bottle as the myna bird and Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm stood guard.
• Fang Chen’s collection neared the amount required by the pill formula when another sudden change struck.

Fang Chen collected the Fate Mist Dust from the Phantom Lethe Tributary and survived the River of Fate’s backlash with help from the Floating Immortal Sword and Time Bell. Back in Yellow Springs, he prepared to remove the curse from the Time Dragon Lizard Reverse Scale while preserving its Flowing Time Origin.

• The River of Fate’s phantom waves surged toward Fang Chen and his companions as Fang Chen continued collecting the Fate Mist Dust.
• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to devour and deflect most of the waves while the Time Bell protected them, and the Jade Bottle secured the dust.

• Fang Chen told the Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor that he had all the ingredients for the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill and needed to deal with the Reverse Scale.
• Fang Chen analyzed the scale’s fused curse, sent the Myna bird and Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to guard the perimeter, and approached it with the Floating Immortal Sword.

Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to devour the curse covering the Time Dragon Lizard Reverse Scale, freeing its Origin of time and sending refined energy into him. He channeled that energy into his Seven-System Fusion Cycle to forge his Fusion Dao and try to break through to Thunder.

• Fang Chen prepared himself with Seven-System Fusion Power and the Time Bell before directing the Floating Immortal Sword at the Reverse Scale.
• The sword swallowed the curse, revealing the Reverse Scale's pure Origin of time and astonishing the myna bird, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor.

• Fang Chen drove the energy into his Seven-System Fusion Cycle and endured the pain as he tried to fuse Thunder into his Dao.

Master Evan and Tianjizi led six thousand alchemists in beginning the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill refinement, using the Creation Origin-Returning Cauldron and the Ninefold Heavenly Secrets Alchemy Grand Array. As they extracted the origins of the main ingredients, the chapter ended with the Fate Mist Dust still to be processed.

• Master Evan and Tianjizi chose the Creation Origin-Returning Cauldron and assembled six thousand Immortal King-level alchemists to refine the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill.

• The alchemists prepared to process the final main ingredient, Fate Mist Dust.

Master Evan and Tianjizi led the alchemists through the final stage of refining the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill, but the Fate Mist Dust clashed with the pill’s Deceive Heaven concept. The pill embryo collapsed, destroying the ingredients and leaving the Grand Array intact but the attempt a failure.

• Tianjizi used his lifeblood and divination Runes to guide the Fate Mist Dust’s power into the cauldron’s core.
• Master Evan, Tianjizi, and six thousand Immortal King Alchemists combined their power to fuse the ingredients and form a nascent pill embryo.

• The pill embryo and its unfused Essence disintegrated, leaving only charred marks inside the cauldron.

After the first attempt to refine the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill failed, Fang Chen identified the conflict between Fate Mist Dust’s chaotic power and the pill’s need for stability. He announced that he would refine the next batch himself, then summoned a mysterious furnace that surpassed ordinary Alchemy Furnaces.

• The first attempt to refine the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill collapsed, exhausting the Immortal King Alchemists and injuring Master Evan and Tianjizi.

• Master Evan and Tianjizi recognized a new path and began recovering and preparing to repair the Grand Array.
• Fang Chen said he would work through the problem and refine a batch of pills himself, surprising the gathered experts.
• Fang Chen summoned a mysterious Alchemy Furnace that appeared to surpass ordinary furnaces.

Fang Chen revealed his Heaven Refining Furnace and chose to make the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill alone, without rebuilding the Ninefold Heavenly Secret Grand Formation. As he began refining the materials, Master Evan, Tianjizi, and the Immortal Emperors discovered the furnace contained a vast inner world guarded by Fang Chen’s five Imperial Flames.

• Fang Chen summoned the Heaven Refining Furnace, stunning Master Evan and Tianjizi with its profound Alchemy Dao resonance and close bond with him.

Within the domain, his Manifestations brought rare ingredients to the Medicine-Brewing Old Farmer, whose cauldron released a fragrance that nourished Divine Souls.

• Fang Chen’s five Imperial Flames precisely refined more than a hundred ingredients at once, stunning the Alchemists who watched through Spiritual Sense.

Fang Chen joined his manifestations’ month-long feast in the Twilight of the Gods Domain, using its Chaos energy to advance his understanding of the Fusion Dao while the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Shifting Pill continued refining. After the Medicine-Brewing Old Farmer kicked over the Black Cauldron, the Heaven Refining Furnace resonated with it and began absorbing the manifestations’ powers.

• Fang Chen returned to the golden bamboo grove, found Elder Yun and the others gone, and gathered bamboo shoots as his contribution to the feast.
• Fang Chen ate the Chaos worm and bamboo shoots, gaining a surge in power that helped him grasp the Fusion Dao.

• The Chaos Giant struck the Heaven Refining Furnace with its axe, and the furnace absorbed the Chaos power.

Fang Chen used five Manifestations and their attacks to refine the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill through Dao-Striking Pill Formation, turning opposing Dao powers into a complete alchemical process. As the furnace and Formation formed a self-reinforcing cycle, Fang Chen’s understanding of five paths of the Great Dao rapidly deepened.

• The Sun Chasing Giant struck the Heaven Refining Furnace with Supreme Yang fist imprints, strengthening its golden Imperial Flame and accelerating the pill’s refinement.

• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi realized the process was cultivating Fang Chen, whose Dao Resonance grew rapidly as he comprehended five paths of the Great Dao.

Fang Chen used the Five Manifestations’ alchemy to deepen his understanding of the Fusion Dao and inscribed countless Dao Patterns to guide the Heaven-Deceiving Earth-Changing Pill’s refinement. The Heaven Refining Furnace devoured the patterns, leaving the pill’s transformation underway.

• The Yellow Springs Ancient Ancestor and the gathered prodigies marveled at Fang Chen’s cultivation and the Five Manifestations’ display.
• Fang Chen realized that refining the pill also meant refining himself and the Dao, then inscribed five core Dao Patterns into the Void.
