Lu Chuan and his companions reached the summit to report to the Inspectors gathered there, where he recognized Shi Qingning and learned that three famed Inspectors from the Imperial Capital had arrived.

Lu Chuan cultivated while waiting for the expanding pillar of light to change, refining Fierce Beast Crystal Cores to widen his Heaven and Earth Bridges to four zhang. The pillar then exploded, forming a hundred-li barrier and revealing ancient stone tablets.

Lu Chuan waited while the Foreign Race, cultists, and human fighters attacked the barrier around the Myriad Treasure Stele Forest. Shi Qingning offered to reveal which Ancient Stele contained the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Divine Ability’s True Meaning Diagram in exchange for his help, and Lu Chuan agreed as the barrier neared collapse.

After parting ways with Wang Zhan and Liu Yitao, Lu Chuan spent half a month gathering resources and fighting in the Myriad Star Realm. He killed a powerful Three-headed Black Python and advanced his Spiritual Power to the Eighth Tier Heaven-Human Realm, while his cultivation and techniques also improved.

While he underwent a secluded transformation, the Human Race used the Purifying Light to devastate the Foreign Race army attacking the passage fortress and force the survivors to retreat.

Dong Mingfeng told the gathered commanders and experts that the Purifying Light was a single-use imitation, no reinforcements were available, and a huge Foreign Race Army was approaching. The meeting ended in conflict over whether to recall experts from their missions to defend the passage.

• Dong Mingfeng revealed that the Purifying Light had been a one-use imitation and that Xia Country could send no reinforcements because its forces were tied down by wars elsewhere.
• Shi Qingning proposed recalling experts who had entered the Myriad Star Realm on missions, but a middle-aged man rejected the idea, saying their assignments could not be abandoned.
