Fang Chen fought the poisoned Green Lotus Saint Buddha inside the Qingyang Realm and studied his close-combat movement to overcome the limits of the Misty Turtle Steps.

• Fang Chen recognized that the Green Lotus Saint Buddha's close combat and use of the Space Divine Art exposed weaknesses in Fang Chen's Misty Turtle Steps, so he studied the Buddha's movements as they fought.
• Fang Chen entered a state of Enlightenment, where a Colored turtle fought the Green Lotus Saint Buddha; when Fang Chen faltered, the Buddha struck him and fled, but Fang Chen chased him down.
• After the Colored turtle's movements improved over an hour, its body burst apart into characters and Marks that formed a figure resembling Fang Chen, while unfamiliar information about a fused movement technique entered his mind.

Fang Chen used his fight with Green Lotus Saint Buddha to break through in movement and close combat, then trapped him and forced him into self-destruction. After the blast, the Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm survived but wondered why Fang Chen had seemed unafraid.

Fang Chen survived the Green Lotus Saint Buddha’s self-destruction by using the Floating Immortal Sword to repair his Saint Seals and reunite his body.

• After waiting for eleven days, Little Paper Crane, the myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm saw Fang Chen emerge from the hardened magma, fully recovered.

Fang Chen returned to the Glazed Sword Sect after killing the Seven-Tribulation Saint, then went with his companions to investigate a Demon Vine rampaging through the Demon Cave. He recognized it as the Chaos Demonic Star Vine he had subdued years earlier, and it shrank into a harmless ball in his hand.

• Fang Chen told Chi You to guard the Qingyang Realm and returned to the Glazed Sword Sect, where he confirmed he had killed the old bald donkey after recovering from severe injuries.
• Fang Chen learned that a Demon Vine had spread from the Fifth-Layer Demon Cave to the Eighth Layer and was devouring stone, so he went to investigate with Black Flame Dao Master, the Fire Origin Glazed Saint, Yun Qianxue, and Chen Xiaofei.
• Fang Chen and his companions found the Chaos Demonic Star Vine eating the ruins of an Ancient City, and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint identified it as a seventh-tier vine with strength comparable to a Saint.
• Chen Xiaofei charged the Chaos Demonic Star Vine but was knocked flying by its counterattack.
• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine shrank into a fist-sized black ball and settled affectionately in Fang Chen's palm, leaving Chen Xiaofei and the others stunned.

Fang Chen reunited with the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, brought it into the Qingyang Realm, and named it Floating Star. The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm led Fang Chen and Myna bird to a Spiritual Qi-rich Rift Valley as a place for Floating Star to live.

• Fang Chen explained that he had subdued the Chaos Demonic Star Vine years earlier and said it needed food and nurturing to strengthen the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Fang Chen took the starving vine from the Demon Cave into the Qingyang Realm, where the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm greeted him.
• Fang Chen asked Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to name the vine, and Myna bird suggested Floating Star.
• Fang Chen accepted the name after Floating Star reacted happily, then asked the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to find it a suitable home.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm led Fang Chen and Myna bird to a Rift Valley filled with Spiritual Qi and Stones threaded with Spirit Jade.

Fang Chen explored an abandoned Spirit Jade mine with the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, the Myna bird, and the Paper Crane, and learned that a powerful ancient civilization had left behind valuable ore. At the bottom of the Rift Valley, they discovered an enormous Diamond-Shaped Pyramid that the worm identified as a crashed warship.

• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm explained that the abandoned mine’s ore was considered low-grade by its original miners, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine began devouring it.
• The worm told Fang Chen that a warship had crashed at the bottom of the valley, where intense Spatial Pressure kept it from approaching.
• Fang Chen led the group deeper into the Rift Valley to investigate the wreck and considered sending Uncle-Master Black Flame to mine the valuable Spirit Jade for the Glazed Sword Sect.
• The group encountered increasingly valuable ore, including Fourth-grade Spirit Jade, as the Spatial Pressure grew stronger.
• Fang Chen and his companions reached the bottom of the Rift Valley and saw an enormous Diamond-Shaped Pyramid.

Fang Chen and his companions discovered the wreckage of an ancient warship and learned that a powerful Compass inside it had caused the intense spatial pressure. After Paper Crane retrieved the Compass, they explored the empty wreckage and found it had no Dao Patterns at all.

• Fang Chen and his companions found a vast number of Seventh Grade Spirit Jades around the diamond-shaped warship wreckage and realized its Space Dao Patterns caused immense pressure nearby.
• Paper Crane flew into the wreckage, causing the Space Dao Patterns to scatter and the spatial pressure to subside.
• Paper Crane explained that she had stored an octagonal Compass from the pyramid's spatial core, but warned that she lacked the energy to put it away again if she brought it out.
• Fang Chen tucked the exhausted Paper Crane into his robe, then entered the wreckage with Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm.
• Fang Chen and his companions found the warship completely empty and noticed that it bore no Dao Patterns.

Fang Chen discovered that the pyramid warship wreck was made of extraordinarily durable metal and let the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Chaos Demonic Star Vine devour it. After finding no other treasures inside, he called the two followers over, leaving what he wanted to do next unresolved.

• Fang Chen struck the warship hull with the Floating Immortal Sword, found the metal exceptionally hard, and absorbed energy from the impact.
• The myna bird proposed copying the wreck's structure for the Glazed Sword Sect, while Fang Chen judged that strengthening individual cultivators mattered more than building a fleet.
• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine began eating the hull, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm asked Fang Chen for permission to eat it too.
• Fang Chen allowed both followers to share the wreckage, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm returned to its giant form and began chewing through the metal.
• Fang Chen searched the pyramid wreckage without finding unusual treasures, then called the two followers to stop eating and come to him.

Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints onto the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, greatly improving their ability to absorb energy. After they returned to eating the Pyramid wreckage, the Myna bird warned that imprints placed on him might come off with the Seal Formation Runes covering his body.

• Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints across the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm's body and Natal Inner Pearl, then tested the worm's devouring ability.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm absorbed surrounding energy much faster, thanked Fang Chen, and returned to devouring the Pyramid wreckage.
• Fang Chen spent five days branding the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, which then flew to the Pyramid wreckage and began eating.
• The Myna bird praised the imprints but said they might come off his body with its Seal Formation Runes, prompting Fang Chen to stare at him sharply.

Fang Chen helped the myna bird use Devouring God Imprints to weaken the seals on his body, then returned to the Glazed Sword Sect to attempt to restore the Glazed Sword for his master, True Person Liuli. As he worked, Fang Chen discovered that the sword’s core Formation Runes surpassed the Saint Realm and that the Glazed Saint had likely reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

• Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints onto the myna bird, and the imprints began devouring the energy in his Sealing Formation Runes.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird left the Qingyang Realm and headed back to the Glazed Sword Sect so Fang Chen could try to restore the Glazed Sword.
• Fang Chen told the Black Flame Dao Lord of his plan, then examined the Glazed Sword and found that many Formation Runes were missing.
• Fang Chen carried the Glazed Sword to the Eighth Layer of the Demon Cave and began restoring it with the Heaven Mending Technique, the Four Sacred Flames, and metals from damaged Saint Weapons.
• Fang Chen found that the Glazed Sword’s core Formation Runes surpassed the Saint Realm and realized the Glazed Saint had likely been a Quasi-Emperor.

• Fang Chen discovered that Ancestor Glazed had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm and realized he could not repair the Glazed Sword's core Formation Runes.

• Fang Chen proposed finding a Sword Wielder to wield the Glazed Sword and join the other Seven Great Main Peaks in deploying the Glazed Sword Array.

Fang Chen’s projection saw Elder Yun, Li Yanshan, and Wu Qingfeng at Dog Head Ridge, stirring memories of the friends who had cared for him. He announced a selection for the Glazed Sword’s next Sword Wielder and revealed that even someone without a Spiritual Root could be chosen, since he himself had none.

• Fang Chen’s projection recognized Elder Yun, Li Yanshan, Wu Qingfeng, and other former servants among the crowd at Dog Head Ridge.

• Fang Chen revealed that he had no Spiritual Root himself and said that someone chosen by the Glazed Sword could cultivate without one.

• Huahua tried to intimidate the Little Donkey, but it ignored him and shook him off; Fang Chen introduced Huahua to Li Yanshan.

Fang Chen returned to Dog Head Ridge and reunited with Elder Yun, Wu Qingfeng, and the former errand runners of Thousand Bamboo Ridge. He greeted Little Six and noticed the dog now carried a faint ripple of Spiritual Power.
