Lu Chuan obtained the undamaged Xuantian Seal, an Ancient Dao Tool that could suppress its targets and generate Xuantian Spiritual Liquid, then escaped the collapsing cavern and returned to Star City. Su Ying revealed that the Evil Cults were vying for the Myriad Star Realm, a secret realm connected to the Outer Realm Evil God’s world and intended as a foothold for invasion.

• Lu Chuan infused the jade seal with True Essence, causing it to enter his Sea of Consciousness and reveal that it was the Xuantian Seal, an Ancient Dao Tool capable of sealing and suppression and deriving Xuantian Spiritual Liquid.

• Lu Chuan returned to his villa, checked on Fire Camp with Xiao Yunshang, and prepared to enter seclusion before Su Ying arrived.
• Su Ying told Lu Chuan that the Evil Cults were gathering over the Myriad Star Realm, a Cave Heaven Secret Realm connecting multiple worlds.
• Su Ying confirmed that the Myriad Star Realm connected to the Outer Realm Evil God’s world and that the Evil Cults wanted to use it as a springboard for an invasion.

Su Ying told Lu Chuan that powerful figures had helped cultists force the Myriad Star Realm to open early, while directing him to retrieve an Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit instead of focusing on stopping the invasion. Lu Chuan suspected the human leadership was sacrificing Star City for private gain, and Su Ying warned him to hide his anger and obey.

• Su Ying explained that Outer Realm Evil Gods had used cultists and blood sacrifices to force the Myriad Star Realm to emerge years ahead of schedule.
• Su Ying said the passage could not be destroyed because the realm held valuable treasures, and told Lu Chuan to search for them rather than intercept the invaders.
• Lu Chuan accused human officials of letting Star City suffer so they could claim the realm’s treasures, and suspected they had deliberately allowed the cultists to act.
• Su Ying revealed Lu Chuan’s mission was to find an Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit, promising substantial rewards while admitting she did not know who wanted it.
• Su Ying told Lu Chuan to stay inside until the realm opened and warned him not to reveal his thoughts about the Demon Suppressing Division’s upper ranks.

Lu Chuan advanced to Heavenly Human Sixth Order and learned from secret Demon Suppressing Division files that the Myriad Star Realm had opened many times before, likely through abnormal methods. As the realm’s opening approached, he became more suspicious that the Division had helped engineer past openings and prepared to investigate further.

• Su Ying warned Lu Chuan about the forces above him, then left while hoping he would disrupt the Demon Suppressing Division’s decaying order.

Lu Chuan advanced Heart Burning Blade to Minor Accomplishment, then arranged secret missions for Fire Camp instead of sending them to the Myriad Star Realm. He went to Tianxin Lake Park as the realm prepared to open and was admitted after identifying himself.

• Lu Chuan completed three days of training and broke Heart Burning Blade through to Minor Accomplishment, though he worried that its incomplete form would make further progress slow.
• Su Ying told Lu Chuan to hurry to Tianxin Lake Park for the Myriad Star Realm's opening, but he said Fire Camp would not enter and refused her request to guard the entrance.
• Lu Chuan assigned missions to Fire Camp's officers and gave Chen Qingfeng and Luo Zhong separate secret tasks before heading to Tianxin Lake Park.
• A Demon Suppressing Army commander stopped Lu Chuan outside the park, then recognized his identity and respectfully let him pass.

Lu Chuan met Su Ying and the Demon Suppressing Division reinforcements preparing to enter the Myriad Star Realm, where he would join three commanders in searching for the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit. Su Ying explained that hidden Evil Cult forces had already infiltrated Tianxin Lake Park using obscure cultivation paths, and Lu Chuan left newly aware of how much he still did not know.

• Lu Chuan passed through the guarded entrance to Tianxin Lake Park, and Su Ying took him to meet the other people preparing to enter the Myriad Star Realm.
• Lu Chuan asked why the Evil Cult forces had not been found, and Su Ying explained that practitioners of paths such as Witchcraft, the Beast Path, and the Ghoul Path could evade investigation.
• Su Ying led Lu Chuan to the Demon Suppressing Division's temporary camp, where commanders and outside reinforcements gathered.

• Su Ying introduced the visiting experts, who treated Lu Chuan with respect after learning that his reported slaying of seven First Rank True Men of the Longevity Cult was confirmed.

Lu Chuan witnessed the Myriad Star Realm’s violent opening destroy the Suspended Mirror Division’s protective array and devour anyone caught in its spatial currents. Su Ying warned him that a cultist might be among his three commanders and told him to keep the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit from the cult.

• Lu Chuan searched Tianxin Lake Park with his Spiritual Power but found no trace of the Cultists.

• Su Ying secretly warned Lu Chuan that one of his three commanders was likely a cultist and told him to keep the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit from them.

Lu Chuan learned that a cultist might be hidden among the Demon Suppressing Division’s commanders, just as the Myriad Star Realm passage opened. Cultists attacked the entrance, and although a Transcendent Secret Realm expert shattered their formation, many still entered the realm.

• Su Ying told Lu Chuan that one of three commanders was suspected of being a cultist and tasked him with identifying the spy without delaying their mission.
• The light pillar expanded into a gate showing the mountains and rivers inside the Myriad Star Realm, and Su Ying ordered her team to focus on its assigned mission.
• Thousands of cultists emerged in a blazing formation and charged toward the passage as fighters in Tianxin Lake Park moved to stop them.
• A hidden Demon Suppressing Division expert named Li Tianyu struck the cultists with sword energy, but their leader’s Killing Intent barrier blocked the attack and the formation surged onward.
• A Heaven-Covering Giant Palm struck and shattered the Fire Dragon formation, sending hundreds of cultists falling while nearly half rushed into the Myriad Star Realm passage.

Lu Chuan entered the Myriad Star Realm and discovered that its abundant resources came with powerful dangers, while the entrants seemed to have been randomly teleported. He found a rare Three-Leaf Lotus guarded by an Eighth-tier Tiger Crocodile and attacked the beast.

• The Demon Suppressing Division and Suspended Mirror Division sent squads through the Light Gate to hunt cultists in the Myriad Star Realm.
• Lu Chuan entered the realm and found himself alone in a vast land filled with dense spiritual energy, rare resources, and powerful Fierce Beasts.
• Lu Chuan realized the entrants had likely been randomly teleported, a detail absent from Su Ying's materials, and wondered whether the authorities had anticipated the change.
• Lu Chuan traveled to a pool where a Mysterious Grade High-grade Three-Leaf Lotus grew, hoping to claim its energy for advancing to the Divine Bridge Realm.
• Lu Chuan detected an Eighth-tier Tiger Crocodile hiding beneath the pool and struck it with a scorching blade of Spiritual Power.

Lu Chuan killed the Tiger Crocodile, collected its corpse and the Three-Leaf Lotus, and followed Xiao Yi’s route toward the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit. He set out through the Myriad Star Realm despite a route that passed a suspected Spirit Grade Fierce Beast’s territory, and continued gathering resources along the way.

• Lu Chuan used Heart Burning Blade to destroy the Tiger Crocodile’s soul, then collected its corpse and the Three-Leaf Lotus.
• Lu Chuan checked Su Ying’s map and realized he was on the route to the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit, while dismissing the need to find the other commanders.
• Lu Chuan asked Xiao Yi to plot a route, and Xiao Yi warned that it crossed seven Ninth-tier Fierce Beast territories and one territory belonging to a beast suspected to surpass the Ninth Tier.
• Lu Chuan chose Xiao Yi’s route over detouring through the more dangerous Lands of Great Ominousness and advanced cautiously through the jungle.
• Lu Chuan collected Spirit Medicines and other treasures and killed several fierce beasts as he traveled.

Lu Chuan reached the vast volcanic mountain range where the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit was believed to be hidden, while armies from the Outer Realm began pouring into the Myriad Star Realm. As Lu Chuan waited for his teammates, a powerful magma-like Fierce Beast attacked him and sent him flying.

• Lu Chuan traveled through the Myriad Star Realm, hunted Fierce Beasts, and collected resources on his way to the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit.
• Passage entrances connected the Myriad Star Realm to other star worlds, and Demon Race and Outer Realm Evil God armies began invading it.
• After nearly six days of travel, Lu Chuan reached a vast volcano and learned from Xiao Yi that the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit lay inside or beneath it.
• Lu Chuan decided to wait for his three teammates and quietly cultivated atop the volcano.
• A massive magma-like Fierce Beast charged out of the volcano, blocked Lu Chuan's Heart Burning Blade, and struck him with a claw.
• Lu Chuan punched the Fierce Beast but was overwhelmed by the impact and sent flying backward.

Lu Chuan fought a ninth-tier Fierce Beast and chased it deep through the volcanic magma after it fled from his attacks. The beast vanished into a strange sea of fire that threatened his mind, and Lu Chuan used the Soul Suppressing Demon Smiting Bell’s power before charging after it.

• Lu Chuan struck the Fierce Beast with his War Blade, badly wounding it and driving it into the magma.
• Lu Chuan pursued the beast through the underground magma, then used his Five Elements Arrow Technique to pierce it twice.

• Lu Chuan followed the beast into violently churning magma whose strange energy could burn his spirit and affect his will.
• Lu Chuan shielded himself with the Five Fiends True Gang and the Soul Suppressing Demon Smiting Bell’s power, then plunged into the sea of fire.

Lu Chuan pursued the wounded Fierce Beast through a sea of magma and discovered its hidden lair, where three Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruits grew beside a pool that healed its wounds. When he rushed to take the fruits, the beast attacked, and Lu Chuan knocked it back but failed to pierce its flesh with an arrow.

• Lu Chuan searched the magma sea for the Fierce Beast, relying on the All-Encompassing entry to withstand the flames that burned away his Spiritual Power and True Gang.
• Lu Chuan found a concealed cave and descended into an underground world, where he sensed the wounded Fierce Beast healing in a pool of crimson liquid.
• Lu Chuan spotted three Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruits growing beside the pool and rushed toward them.
• The Fierce Beast attacked Lu Chuan with a fireball and a flaming charge when he came within a thousand meters of the fruits.
• Lu Chuan shot down the fireball and struck the Fierce Beast with an arrow, sending it flying before he closed in and slashed at it.

Lu Chuan killed the Ninth-tier Fierce Beast, collected three Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruits, and absorbed the spiritual liquid from its pool to condense the Heaven and Earth Bridges. When the bridges began to crack for lack of energy, he swallowed an Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit to complete the breakthrough.

• Lu Chuan killed the fierce beast, dissected its body, and collected its crystal core.
• Lu Chuan discovered three Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruits on the Dragon Blood Tree and stored them in the Green-skinned Gourd.
• Lu Chuan entered the pool and found that its spiritual liquid strengthened his body and Soul Consciousness while aiding the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Bridges.
• Lu Chuan devoured the pool’s spiritual liquid and began forming the Heaven and Earth Bridges, but they started cracking when the liquid ran out.
• Lu Chuan swallowed an Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit to supply the energy needed to finish condensing the bridges.

Lu Chuan consumed the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit, broke through to the First Rank Divine Bridge Realm, and advanced to the Heavenly Human Seventh Stage. His improved Spiritual Power revealed an Azure Wood Fire Spirit Pearl beneath the pool, and after pulling it from the hidden sea of flames, he found its azure fire was burning at his Spiritual Power.

• Lu Chuan used the Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruit’s power to form the Heaven and Earth Bridges and enter the First Rank Divine Bridge Realm.
• Lu Chuan finished his breakthrough and saw that his Spiritual Power had advanced to the Heavenly Human Seventh Stage.
• Lu Chuan sensed a hidden sea of spirit fire and an Azure Wood Fire Spirit Pearl beneath the dried pool.
• Lu Chuan punched through the pool’s bottom and used a devouring force to pull the pearl from the sea of flames.
• The Azure Blazing Flame burned at Lu Chuan’s Spiritual Power, alarming him.

Lu Chuan left the volcanic range after taking its Azure Wood Fire Spirit Pearl and gathered resources in the Myriad Star Realm. After obtaining a Heaven-grade Nine-Leaf Wind-Thunder Grass, he began cultivating the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique, which appeared ready to break through its limit.

• Lu Chuan sensed that taking the Azure Wood Fire Spirit Pearl had weakened the volcanic range's Fire Spirit Vein and left the area with three Earth Core Dragon Flame Fruits.
• Lu Chuan traveled through the Myriad Star Realm, collecting Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials while killing fierce beasts he could handle.
• After three days, Lu Chuan killed a peak ninth-rank Bloodthirsty Green Wolf and found a Heaven-grade Nine-Leaf Wind-Thunder Grass in the valley.
• Lu Chuan swallowed the Nine-Leaf Wind-Thunder Grass and cultivated the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique as its Wind and Thunder Power surged through him.
• Lu Chuan's saber art erupted with rolling blade light and condensed blade qi as he entered a state of sudden insight.

Lu Chuan broke the limits of the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique, gaining Six-fold Annihilation Force and increased Blade Intent. When a world-shaking phenomenon appeared in the Myriad Star Realm, he raced toward it alongside human factions, cultists, evil forces, and powerful Fierce Beasts.

• Lu Chuan cleaved through a cliff and mountain with his saber as the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique advanced to Six-fold Strength and fused into Six-fold Annihilation Force.
• Lu Chuan checked his Attribute Panel and saw that his Blade Intent had risen to 12.9%.
• A distant explosion shook the valley, and Lu Chuan spotted a vast Spiritual Energy Vortex and strange celestial phenomena on the horizon.
• Lu Chuan decided to investigate and raced toward the phenomenon as people across the Myriad Star Realm hurried there to claim the treasure or keep it from their rivals.
• Lu Chuan encountered powerful Fierce Beasts drawn toward the phenomenon and shot down several with his War Bow as he continued onward.

Lu Chuan hurried toward the pillar of light after it flared again, stopping several hundred li away as the Spiritual Energy Tide intensified and crowds of realm natives and Outer Realm Alien Races gathered. Mu Lingyun, Wang Zhan, and Liu Yitao joined him, and Lu Chuan asked Mu Lingyun what he knew about the alien races.

• Lu Chuan killed an Eighth-tier Peak Blazing Black Bear, took its Fierce Beast Crystal Core, and hurried toward the pillar of light when it erupted again.
• Lu Chuan reached a barren mountain several hundred li from the pillar and saw fierce beasts, Demon Ghosts, and unfamiliar Foreign Race creatures gathered nearby.
• Mu Lingyun, Wang Zhan, and Liu Yitao arrived and told Lu Chuan they had encountered changes at the volcanic cluster before heading toward the disturbance.
• Mu Lingyun said the army had clashed with the Outer Realm Alien Race and pointed out alien forces gathered on distant mountain peaks.
• Lu Chuan asked Mu Lingyun how many races belonged to the Outer Realm Alien Race and whether they were all Demon Ghosts.

Lu Chuan and the others learned that the Demon Suppressing Division had issued a Summoning Order, then hurried to gather at its source. The Longevity Cult learned that three powerful inspectors—Liang Chengfeng, Luo Lingshan, and Gu Fan—had entered the Myriad Star Realm, but its members trusted that the Great Deity’s forces could deal with them.

• Mu Lingyun explained that Demon Ghosts included several alien races and that only those who reached the Transcendent Secret Realm could learn the full details.
• A Summoning Order appeared over a distant mountain, and Mu Lingyun said its issuer was likely an Inspector, possibly a First Rank True Man capable of fighting transcendents.
• Lu Chuan, Mu Lingyun, Wang Zhan, and Liu Yitao set off to gather at the mountain where the order appeared.
• Longevity Cult members identified the three Imperial Capital inspectors as Liang Chengfeng, Luo Lingshan, and Gu Fan, and feared their arrival.
• An Asura Mask figure assured the Longevity Cult members that the Great Deity’s Divine Envoys would handle the inspectors and that their preparations would ensure victory.
