After clearing the final Forbidden Zone on Immortal Forget Island, Fang Chen learned from the Butterfly Queen that a mighty Demon Race figure had cursed the island’s inhabitants to protect them from future calamity and left behind an inaccessible inheritance. He entered the inheritance site with the Seven-Colored Spirit Butterflies, leaving the story at the Barrier’s far side.

Fang Chen led the Butterfly Queen, the myna bird, and their companions through eighteen Barriers into a Demon Race expert’s Inheritance Space, where they found the corpse of a Wangxian Turtle. After learning that the turtle could foresee the future, Fang Chen wondered if he might be able to learn its Innate Divine Ability.

• Fang Chen awakened the Butterfly Queen, the myna bird, and the others from the illusion cast by the passage’s battle murals.
• Fang Chen led the group through eighteen Barriers and into the Inheritance Space, where they found a withered tree and a dead turtle.
• The Butterfly Queen identified the turtle as a Wangxian Turtle, a rare creature whose Innate Divine Ability let it foresee the future at the cost of Lifespan.
• The myna bird suggested Fang Chen might learn the turtle’s ability, as he had learned the Chaos Devouring God Bee’s God Slaying Art with the Floating Immortal Sword’s help.
• Fang Chen considered whether he could learn the Wangxian Turtle’s Innate Divine Ability.

Fang Chen was drawn into the Wangxian Turtle’s shell after its strange movements prompted him to strike it with the Floating Immortal Sword. Inside, he found ancient writing and unleashed Twilight of the Gods, while the Butterfly Queen and the others waited outside.

• Fang Chen asked the Butterfly Queen what her Ancient Records said about the Wangxian Turtle, and she admitted that they were incomplete.
• The Wangxian Turtle’s shell rolled toward the group, and Fang Chen struck it with the Floating Immortal Sword, receiving energy that strengthened his spirit.

• Fang Chen explored the shell’s immense interior, found ancient writing, and unleashed Twilight of the Gods across the space.

Fang Chen met Wangxian Turtle, who confirmed that Fang Chen would become the Human Emperor and could not reveal the Great Calamity because Heavenly Secrets must not be revealed. Wangxian Turtle showed him a possible future with Ye Qingci, but Fang Chen could not describe what he had seen.

• Wangxian Turtle emerged from the Tortoise Shell and dispelled Fang Chen's Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth.
• Wangxian Turtle called Fang Chen the Human Emperor and said he would become one after returning from Immortal Forget Island, while denying that Fang Chen was a Reincarnated Immortal.
• Wangxian Turtle confirmed that he had cursed Immortal Forget Island's living beings so they could not leave, but refused to explain the Great Calamity.
• Wangxian Turtle showed Fang Chen a future image of himself standing beside Ye Qingci in the Void and explained that the fragments represented different possible outcomes.
• Fang Chen tried to describe the vision but found that a mysterious force prevented him from speaking, and Wangxian Turtle explained that this was why Heavenly Secrets could not be revealed.

The Wangxian Turtle explained that he had preserved the Demon Race from the Great Calamity by binding them to Immortal Forget Island with the Universe Curse, an Immortal Technique he offered to pass on to Fang Chen. He asked Fang Chen to lift the curse once he reached the Half-Immortal Realm, then revealed that he was dead and only a Remnant Soul remained, prompting Fang Chen to question how his nearly immortal body had decayed.

• The Wangxian Turtle told Fang Chen that his divinations had shown the Spiritual Qi Revival, the Great Calamity, and the Demon Race's survival on Immortal Forget Island.
• The Wangxian Turtle offered to pass his legacy, including the Universe Curse, to Fang Chen and revealed that he had waited thirteen million years for him.
• The Wangxian Turtle asked Fang Chen to lift the curse from the Demon Race after reaching the Half-Immortal Realm, explaining that only someone at that level could do so.
• The Wangxian Turtle said he was dead and existed only as a Remnant Soul, and Fang Chen asked why his Half-Immortal Body had decayed to a skeleton.

Wangxian Turtle explained that corpse-born beings could become Heavenly Slaves serving the World Will, and revealed that the source of the power bestowed after Tribulations was a secret Fang Chen could learn only upon reaching the Great Emperor Realm. He began passing the Universe Curse to Fang Chen, whose soul nearly collapsed under the immense inheritance until the Floating Immortal Sword strengthened it.

• Wangxian Turtle told Fang Chen that he had drained his Immortal Spirit Power to prevent his corpse from developing Sentience and becoming a Heavenly Slave of the World Will.
• Wangxian Turtle explained that the Heavenly Dao opposed Cultivators through Heavenly Punishments, but said the Source Power granted after Tribulations came from somewhere he could not reveal until Fang Chen reached the Great Emperor Realm.
• Wangxian Turtle began transmitting the Universe Curse to Fang Chen through his staff, flooding Fang Chen’s mind with immense information.
• Fang Chen stabbed the Floating Immortal Sword into the Tortoise Shell, and the sword’s power strengthened his soul enough to withstand the inheritance.
• Wangxian Turtle sensed Fang Chen’s sudden increase in resistance and reacted with surprise.

Fang Chen received the Universe Curse from Wangxian Turtle after two hundred years inside the Tortoise Shell and learned about its domain and sealing powers. He offered to take Wangxian Turtle to a place at the Glazed Sword Sect that might revive him, then asked to be sent out.

• While Fang Chen received the inheritance, the Butterfly Queen and the Spirit Butterfly Clan experts waited outside and cultivated as Myna Bird slept.
• Two hundred years later, Wangxian Turtle withdrew his staff, and Fang Chen awakened with the Universe Curse fully inherited.
• Fang Chen learned that the Universe Curse could confine weaker cultivators, while the Universe Curse Seal could weaken even stronger opponents if enough seals accumulated.
• Wangxian Turtle admitted he had never mastered the Universe Curse Seal and explained that Fang Chen could release anyone he cursed at any time.
• Fang Chen told Wangxian Turtle that the Glazed Sword Sect had a place that might bring him back to life, and Wangxian Turtle said his Remnant Soul could endure for a while.
• Fang Chen asked Wangxian Turtle to send him out, and Wangxian Turtle touched his staff to Fang Chen's brow, giving him an incantation.

After spending two hundred years inside the Tortoise Shell, Fang Chen emerged with Wangxian Turtle’s legacy and learned that the curses on Immortal Forget Island were meant to protect its inhabitants from the coming Great Calamity. He took Wangxian Turtle’s body into the Swallowing Heaven Tower to bring it to the Glazed Sword Sect and attempt to revive him.

• Fang Chen recited the Incantation backward and was sent out of the Tortoise Shell, where the Myna bird and Butterfly Queen welcomed him.
• Fang Chen told them he had received Wangxian Turtle’s Universe Curse but could not learn his ability to foresee the future.
• Fang Chen explained that Wangxian Turtle’s curses kept the island’s inhabitants there for protection from the Great Calamity, though survival beyond its first wave was uncertain.
• Fang Chen said he would take Wangxian Turtle’s body to the Glazed Sword Sect and test whether its Green Grass Great Array could revive him.
• Fang Chen used the Swallowing Heaven Tower to store Wangxian Turtle’s body, astonishing the Butterfly Queen and the Myna bird.

Fang Chen left Immortal Forget Island after flattening its Life Forbidden Zones and promised the Butterfly Queen he would return once he reached the Half-Immortal Realm to lift the Universe Curse. Back at the Glazed Sword Sect, he reunited with Yun Qianxue and his recovered uncle-masters, who were stunned by what he had accomplished.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to cut through the Barrier of the Wangxian Turtle's Inheritance Land and stored it in the Floating Immortal Ring.
• Fang Chen promised the Butterfly Queen he would return at the Half-Immortal Realm to lift the Universe Curse, then left Immortal Forget Island with the myna bird and Little Crane.
• During the journey home, Fang Chen studied the Universe Curse and learned from Little Crane why Spirit Crane Space could carry him despite the Supreme Emperor Weapons inside his body.
• Fang Chen returned to the Glazed Sword Sect after a month and learned from Yun Qianxue that the Black Flame Quasi-Emperor and the others had recovered.
• Fang Chen told the Black Flame Quasi-Emperor and the others that he had flattened every Life Forbidden Zone on Immortal Forget Island, leaving them stunned.

After returning from Immortal Forget Island, Fang Chen learned how dramatically the Glazed Sword Sect had grown during his absence and considered changing its recruitment policy. He asked whether the sect should recruit beyond the Southern Wastes, leaving its future standards undecided.

• Fang Chen told Quasi-Emperor Black Flame and the others that he had flattened every Life Forbidden Zone on Immortal Forget Island, then shared his experiences there.
• Fang Chen gave the treasures he had collected on the island to Yun Qianxue and Quasi-Emperor Black Flame to distribute among the sect.
• Quasi-Emperor Black Flame reported that the Glazed Sword Sect had more than two hundred Quasi-Emperors and over twenty thousand Saints, with Ye Kong and Ye Qingci at the Ninth Layer's Checkpoint.
• Fang Chen learned that the Green Grass Great Array had made Tribulation Transcendence safe, brought the sect great revenue, and turned the Southern Wastes into a cultivation haven.
• Fang Chen asked Quasi-Emperor Black Flame whether the sect should end its restriction on recruiting people from outside the Southern Wastes.

Fang Chen investigated why the Green Grass Great Array had stopped expanding and discovered a powerful fluctuation at its Formation Core. Inside a nine-colored light cluster, he found a baby girl formed from mysterious runes and connected by an umbilical cord to the surrounding space.

• The Black Flame Quasi-Emperor told Fang Chen that Spiritual Roots had become common among newborns in the Southern Wastes and that the Green Grass Great Array had stopped expanding.
• Fang Chen went to the Green Grass Great Array with the Myna bird and sensed a powerful fluctuation at its Formation Core.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird reached the Core Region, where the grass had withered, turned yellow, and produced seeds.
• Fang Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the Formation Core and was pulled into a nine-colored space containing an infant girl made of mysterious runes.

Fang Chen and the myna bird discovered that the Green Grass Great Array was forming a Spirit, but its Spiritual Fetus had stopped developing. After Fang Chen repaired it, the baby girl awakened, called him Master, and received the name Little Grass.

• Fang Chen showed the myna bird the infant forming inside the Green Grass Great Array’s Spiritual Fetus, and the myna bird identified her as the array’s Spirit.
• Fang Chen examined the unstable Spiritual Fetus, consulted the Array Scripture, and found the problem in its stopped Dao Patterns.
• Fang Chen sent Dao Patterns into the Spiritual Fetus and used the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation to help the infant absorb them.
• The Spiritual Fetus disappeared as the baby girl absorbed its Dao Patterns and opened her eyes.
• The baby girl flew into Fang Chen’s arms, called him Master, and confirmed she was the Spirit of the Green Grass Great Array.
• Fang Chen named the baby girl Little Grass, while the myna bird privately criticized his choice.

Fang Chen introduced Little Grass, the sentient spirit of the Green Grass Great Array, and asked her to try reviving the Wangxian Turtle. Little Grass could not restore him because his lifespan had ended and his Life Wheel had shattered, leaving Fang Chen without a way to stop his soul from dispersing.

• Fang Chen learned that Little Grass could revive the dead within her domain and that she had gained Sentience two hundred years earlier by absorbing the memories of tribulation survivors.
• Little Grass explained that she had used the Green Grass Great Array's energy to form her body and had nearly collapsed before Fang Chen returned.
• Fang Chen brought the Wangxian Turtle's remains into the Green Grass Great Array, where the turtle praised the Formation but said it could not restore his Soul Power.
• Little Grass told Fang Chen that the Wangxian Turtle's lifespan had run out and his Life Wheel had shattered, so she could neither revive him nor stop his soul from dispersing.

Fang Chen learned that the Green Grass Great Array could not revive the Wangxian Turtle because its Lifespan had ended, and its Remnant Soul would soon fade. The Wangxian Turtle then sacrificed its soul and Tortoise Shell to aid Quasi-Emperor Huo Li, whose Sword Intent had drawn its attention.

• Little Grass told Fang Chen that she could revive only people whose Lifespans had not run out, so she could not save the Wangxian Turtle.
• The Wangxian Turtle explained that its sealed Remnant Soul was breaking apart and would disappear within six months.
• A powerful Sword Intent drew the Wangxian Turtle's Tortoise Shell toward Quasi-Emperor Huo Li's grass nest, and the Wangxian Turtle praised Huo Li's Sword Dao talent.
• The Wangxian Turtle sent Fang Chen out of the shell, then burned its Tortoise Shell and Remnant Soul to send azure Runes into Huo Li.

After Wangxian Turtle's Remnant Soul vanished, Fang Chen began cultivating the Universe Curse and discovered that it resembled the Demon Subduing Curse. He decided to master the Demon Subduing Curse first, leaving him striking Palace Mistress Lingxin's Black Wooden Fish as he cultivated.

• Wangxian Turtle's Remnant Soul dispersed after telling Fang Chen to continue along the path of cultivation, and its power flowed into Quasi-Emperor Huo Li's grass nest.
• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to draw power from the Green Grass Great Array, increasing his Soul Perception so he could study the Universe Curse.
• Fang Chen found that the Universe Curse was remarkably similar to the Demon Subduing Curse, which he had received from Palace Mistress Lingxin but had not mastered.
• Fang Chen decided to master the Demon Subduing Curse before trying the Universe Curse again, then struck the Black Wooden Fish with the Floating Immortal Sword as he cultivated.

Fang Chen practiced the Demon Subduing Curse and discovered its power was enough to torment the myna bird and Little Grass. He mastered the curse and invited them to see what it could do, leaving the myna bird wary of hearing it again.

• Fang Chen struck the Wooden Fish with the Floating Immortal Sword and recited the Demon Subduing Curse, driving the myna bird and Little Grass out of the Core Region.
• The myna bird explained to Little Grass that Fang Chen had learned the curse from Palace Mistress Lingxin but had never mastered it or used it in battle.
• Little Grass asked the myna bird about his adventures with Fang Chen, and he recounted how they had met in the Tianluo Secret Realm and traveled together.
• A surge of energy rose from the Core Region as golden Curse Characters circled Fang Chen and Spiritual Qi gathered around him.
• Fang Chen mastered the Demon Subduing Curse, called Little Grass and the myna bird, and invited them to see its power; the myna bird shuddered at the thought of hearing it again.
