• Fang Chen asked Little Crane to deliver the gathered treasures to Black Flame Saint and told Black Flame Saint to collect materials for refining Meteor Tears.

• Chen Xiaofei called for the sect to cut a bloody path, and the others joined his cry.

Fang Chen encouraged the Glazed Sword Sect to prepare for war, then entered the Demon Cave and discovered three Devil Saints had emerged. He met them peacefully and began answering their questions about the world they lived in.

• Fang Chen entered the Demon Cave with Myna bird and sensed that its Demonic Qi had grown denser and that three Devil Saints were living there.
• The three Devil Saints greeted Fang Chen, and the blue-winged Demon Race Woman asked him what the Demon Cave was.

Fang Chen freed a group of captured Devil Race experts into the Demon Cave, then repaired the Heaven Refining Furnace and began refining Meteor Tear. While refining, he summoned his Chaos Giant Manifestation to test whether it could merge with his other manifestations.

• Fang Chen told the three Devil Race prisoners he would not release them, then had Little Crane deposit their captured kin in the Demon Cave.
• The three prisoners found the newly arrived experts alive but unconscious and decided to wait for them to wake.
• Fang Chen repaired the Heaven Refining Furnace, loaded it with Meteor Tear materials, and refined them with his merged Heaven Mending Goddess and Old Farmer manifestations.
• Fang Chen released his Chaos Giant Manifestation during the refinement, surprising the Myna bird.

Fang Chen released several Manifestations while refining Meteor Tear, causing Chaos Matter and Light Arrows to infuse the material and strengthen it with mysterious Dao Patterns and Runes. As the Heaven Refining Furnace absorbed energy uncontrollably, the Devil Race experts Little Crane had brought to the Demon Cave awoke and learned that a Human Race member had brought them there.

• Fang Chen released the Chaos Giant Manifestation, and Chaos Matter surged into the Heaven Refining Furnace and merged with the refined material.
• Fang Chen released the Man Shooting Sun Manifestation, whose Light Arrows shattered inside the furnace and added golden energy and mysterious Runes to the material.
• Fang Chen released the Giant Chasing Sun Manifestation, which did not aid the crafting, but strengthened Fang Chen and his Soul Perception.
• The Medicine-Brewing Old Farmer kicked the Black Cauldron toward the Heaven Mending Goddess, and the Heaven Refining Furnace copied its flight while swallowing Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi beyond Fang Chen's control.
• Chaos Matter and Light Arrows continued entering the furnace as the Devil Race experts Little Crane had released awoke in the Demon Cave and heard from three Devil Race Saints that a Human Race member had brought them there.

The Devil Race powerhouses realized a mysterious human thief had brought them to the Demon Cave, where they discovered Fang Chen making Pills with six Manifestations. They considered a sneak attack but decided Fang Chen was far too powerful to challenge.

• The Devil Race powerhouses compared accounts and concluded that the mysterious thief had taken them from their camps and brought them to the Demon Cave.
• A surge of energy drew the Devil Race members deeper into the cave, where they found Fang Chen refining Pills with five Manifestations and an Eight Trigrams Array Diagram.
• The three Devil Race members who had grown up in the cave identified Fang Chen as the human who had brought the others there, and the powerhouses marveled at his six Manifestations.
• One powerhouse suggested a sneak attack, but the others warned that Fang Chen was overwhelmingly powerful and persuaded him to abandon the idea.
• Fang Chen continued making Pills while keeping watch, and he knew that he and the myna bird could easily kill the Devil Race powerhouses if they attacked.

The Heaven Refining Furnace endured a powerful Heavenly Tribulation and was cooled by Fang Chen's Sun Chasing Giant Manifestation, after which Fang Chen could finally probe inside it. He discovered that the furnace had become a vast starry expanse containing his five Sacred Flames, now transformed into suns.

• The Heaven Mending Goddess struck the Medicine-Brewing Old Farmer's Black Cauldron, and Fang Chen's Heaven Refining Furnace shot into the sky before crashing back to earth.
• Tribulation Clouds gathered, and lightning orbs and beasts attacked the Heaven Refining Furnace, which devoured the lightning and emerged unharmed.
• Fang Chen's Sun Chasing Giant Manifestation drank from a river and poured the water into the furnace until it cooled.
• Fang Chen's Manifestations dissipated, and he sensed that the Innate Dao Diagrams on his Foundation Establishment Dao Platform had changed.
• Fang Chen entered the Heaven Refining Furnace with his Spiritual Sense and saw his five Sacred Flames transformed into colored suns in a vast starry expanse.

Fang Chen discovered that refining the Meteor Tears had transformed his flying swords and produced a huge batch of Silver, Golden, and Black Meteor Tears. He left the Heaven Refining Furnace with a new weapon arsenal, then noticed that the furnace itself had also changed.

• Fang Chen found that his Twelve Natal Flying Swords had grown stronger after he refined the Meteor Tears.
• Fang Chen discovered one hundred and eight Black Meteor Tears, over three thousand Golden Meteor Tears, and more than a hundred thousand Silver Meteor Tears.
• Fang Chen inspected a Black Meteor Tear and saw its perfectly arranged Dao Patterns and nine Light Clusters.
• Fang Chen put away the Meteor Tears and told the Myna bird how many he had refined, while admitting he had not tested the Black Meteor Tears.
• Fang Chen shrank the Heaven Refining Furnace and found that it had grown heavier and absorbed lightning power and other energy.

Fang Chen left seclusion after rapidly refining Meteor Tears and intimidated the Devil Race experts with his overwhelming strength. He gathered the Glazed Sword Sect in the Qingyang Realm to distribute Meteor Tears, leaving them ready to hear about the treasure’s power.

• Fang Chen decided his supply of Meteor Tears was enough and planned to distribute them among the Glazed Sword Sect so its members could fight on the battlefield.
• Fang Chen struck the ground with the Hand of the Heavens, warning the Devil Race experts to stay put; they feared he could surpass even a Demon Emperor Envoy.
• Fang Chen contacted Black Flame Saint and summoned the Glazed Sword Sect’s Saints and other members to the Qingyang Realm.
• Fang Chen greeted the gathered sect members and said he had brought them a treasure to share.
• Fang Chen revealed many silver and golden Meteor Tears, and Chen Xiaofei identified them before the gathered disciples looked to Fang Chen for an explanation.

Fang Chen demonstrated the destructive power of Meteor Tears and distributed them to the Glazed Sword Sect and Longevity Valley Saints. He also gave out Ethereal Trace Talismans and Primordial Limitless Pearls, leaving the sect better equipped for future conflicts.

• Fang Chen demonstrated that a Golden Meteor Tear could kill a Peak Saint and severely wound an Invincible Saint.
• Yun Qianxue, Saint Honghe, and the others organized the line so the Glazed Sword Sect and Longevity Valley members were treated equally.

• Fang Chen distributed Ethereal Trace Talismans and Primordial Limitless Pearls to those who did not already have them.

Fang Chen strengthened the Glazed Sword Sect with powerful treasures and urged its disciples to unite against the Buddhist Kingdom and the Ye Family. He learned that extracting the kirin bloodline would take at least ten years and that Ye Kong had entered seclusion to comprehend something.

• Fang Chen distributed the Meteor Tear, Primordial Limitless Pearl, Ethereal Trace Talisman, and Saint Heart Pills to the Saints of the Glazed Sword Sect, who rejoiced at their increased strength.
• Fang Chen warned the sect that the Buddhist Kingdom and the Ye Family threatened its survival, and the disciples vowed to stand together.
• Fang Chen urged everyone to focus on training, noting that the sect still had more than two hundred Quasi-Saints and needed to grow stronger.
• Fang Chen asked Saint Gu Yu and Saint Qingyuan about extracting the kirin bloodline, and Saint Gu Yu said the process would take at least ten years.
• Saint Gu Yu told Fang Chen that Ye Kong had entered seclusion to comprehend something and had not come when summoned.

Fang Chen reassured Yun Qianxue and Black Flame Saint that the Glazed Sword Sect would defend its core holdings while he struck at their enemies. He then visited his clones and decided to forge new Life-Bound Saint Weapons that could fuse with them, leaving the clones to cultivate while he began work.

• Fang Chen told Yun Qianxue and Black Flame Saint to focus on defending the sect and preserving its core realms, while he handled attacks on their enemies.
• Yun Qianxue, Black Flame Saint, and the others left Qingyang Realm, and Fang Chen went to Mysterious Jade Forest to see his clones.
• The clones praised Fang Chen for destroying Xuanhuang City, and Fang Chen said he would not show mercy to the Ye Family while the conflict threatened the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Eldest Brother Fang told Fang Chen that the clones' weapons could not fuse with them, leaving them at a disadvantage against emissary-level experts.
• Fang Chen examined the clones' Life-Bound Saint Weapons, decided to forge a set that could fuse together, and told them to keep cultivating.

Fang Chen planned matching weapons for his Nine Clones and decided to make each one a pagoda level that could combine into a complete pagoda. 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.
