• Yun Feiyang led Lu Chuan through the restricted core area of Thunder Martial Hall’s headquarters.

• Yun Feiyang told Lu Chuan the tower was already open, and Lu Chuan rushed inside.

After evolving his Innate Divine Ability in the Ancient Pagoda, Lu Chuan prepared to leave Thunder Star for the Xuanhuang Hall assessment. Meanwhile, Liang Yunbo joined the Blood God Cult and was ordered to monitor Lu Chuan as he departed.

• Lu Chuan thanked Yun Feiyang for helping him evolve his Innate Divine Ability, and Yun Feiyang advised him to leave for Xuanhuang Universe Country early to prepare for the assessment.

• The next day, Yun Feiyang escorted Lu Chuan to Thunder Martial Hall's Teleportation Array, gave him assessment information, and Lu Chuan set off for the Galactic Federation capital.

Lu Chuan traveled from Thunder Star to Galaxy Star on his way to the Xuanhuang Hall assessment, while the Blood God Cult plotted against him and Yun Feiyang. At Thunder Martial Hall’s Galaxy Star branch, Lu Chuan recognized the corrupt Hall Master Ning Suian and refused his invitation to a banquet.

• Yun Feiyang watched Lu Chuan depart and hoped their growing friendship might help him reach beyond the Transcendent realm.
• The Yaksha Blood-robed Figure learned that Lu Chuan had left for the capital and ordered Liang Yunbo to keep watching Yun Feiyang while the Blood God Cult pursued Thunder Martial Hall.

• Ning Suian invited Lu Chuan to a banquet, but Lu Chuan refused because he needed to continue to Xuanhuang Universe Country.

• Lu Chuan severed his Spiritual Power and formed the Nine Revolutions Profound Heart Tower to protect his Sea of Consciousness.

• The Evil God's Whisper and Decay Qi corroded Lu Chuan's Nine Revolutions Profound Heart Tower until the Xuantian Seal and Soul Suppressing Demon Smiting Bell suppressed the attack.
• The Evil God tore through their defenses, but the Bronze Ancient Tree helped Lu Chuan devour the invading Decay Power and the force behind the doorway.
• The doorway exploded, and Lu Chuan refined its energy, transforming his Innate Divine Ability's Talisman into an Innate Golden Core and reaching the Transcendent Sixth Realm.
• Lu Chuan checked his Attribute Panel and saw that his Blade Intent and Spiritual Power had also increased.
• Lu Chuan wondered whether Ning Suian worshiped an Evil God, then looked to him for answers.

Lu Chuan killed Ning Suian after discovering he was a cultist, but an Evil God Restriction destroyed Ning Suian’s soul before Lu Chuan could question him. Liu Tianyuan arrived to receive Lu Chuan and proposed using the discovery to reorganize the Galaxy Star branch hall under Manager Yun’s control.

• Lu Chuan tried to enslave Ning Suian with the Life and Death Talisman Seal, but an Evil God Restriction erupted and destroyed Ning Suian’s soul.

After killing Ning Suian, Lu Chuan left the Thunder Martial Hall branch and paid to join the queue for the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to Xuanhuang Universe Country. With time to spare, he headed to Myriad Treasures Tower to sell his goods and buy cultivation resources, where he unexpectedly reunited with Luo Peng.

• Lu Chuan left Liu Tianyuan to handle the Thunder Martial Hall branch after Ning Suian's death and went to Galaxy Star's teleportation array.

• Myriad Treasures Tower staff spent nearly three hours valuing Lu Chuan's resources while he cultivated in Luo Peng's office.
• Luo Peng returned with a Smart Terminal listing Golden Core tempering resources and their prices for Lu Chuan to choose from.

• Lu Chuan spotted a damaged stone box inscribed in Small Seal Script and suspected it was connected to the pre-Qin Qi Refiners or Kunlun.

Lu Chuan ignored the auction’s earlier lots and entered the bidding for the Five Elements Heaven Star Fruit, driving its price far above the other bidders’ offers. The auction was still underway after he bid 7 billion Cosmic Coins.

• Lu Chuan examined the damaged Stone Box but could not read its Small Seal Script characters, so he decided to photograph it for later study.
• The auction began, and Lu Chuan recognized that the auctioneer used an enchantment art to influence bidders’ emotions and judgment.
• After reviewing the lots, Lu Chuan waited nearly two hours until the Five Elements Heaven Star Fruit came up for bidding at a starting price of one billion Cosmic Coins.
• Bidders in second-floor private rooms pushed the fruit’s price to 5 billion Cosmic Coins, leaving only two contestants.
• Lu Chuan entered the bidding from VIP Room 9 with an offer of 6 billion Cosmic Coins, then raised it to 7 billion after the other bidders continued.
• The bidder in VIP Room 3 withdrew, while the bidder in Box No. 21 had not yet responded to Lu Chuan’s 7 billion offer.

Lu Chuan won the Five Elements Heaven Star Fruit for seven billion Cosmic Coins and waited for the Stone Box, which he suspected held a great opportunity. When a red-haired youth in Box No. 21 revealed that the box bore powerful Qi Refiner sealing restrictions, Lu Chuan raised the bid to two hundred million Cosmic Coins.

• The red-haired youth in Box No. 21 ordered Uncle Yuan to investigate Lu Chuan after losing the Five Elements Heaven Star Fruit auction to him.

• After about three hours, the auctioneer introduced the Stone Box as a mysterious artifact possibly connected to the Immortal Dao's Qi Refiner lineage.
• The red-haired youth in Box No. 21 bid one hundred and ten million Cosmic Coins and explained to a gorgeous woman that the Stone Box held powerful Qi Refiner sealing restrictions.
• Lu Chuan wondered whether the youth knew the box's secrets, then bid two hundred million Cosmic Coins.

• The red-haired youth in Box No. 21 stopped bidding at four hundred million, intending to kill Lu Chuan and take the box afterward.
• Lu Chuan won the stone box after the other bidders declined to raise the price.
• Lu Chuan paid for the box and found that his Spiritual Power could not break through its internal barrier.
• The Xuantian Seal emerged from Lu Chuan's Sea of Consciousness and activated the box's runes and mechanisms.
• The stone box opened, and the Xuantian Seal returned to Lu Chuan's Sea of Consciousness with a faintly revived spirituality.

Lu Chuan discovered a powerful medicinal pill in the Stone Box and left Myriad Treasures Tower, but the red-haired youth ordered men to kill him and recover the items he had won. Lu Chuan was ambushed outside and trapped in a Derivative Realm, where he defeated the first attacker and used his Mysterious Gate of the Female technique against the remaining pursuers.

• Lu Chuan found a jade-green medicinal pill whose rich Dao Rhythm promised to greatly improve his Golden Core cultivation, then concealed it and left Myriad Treasures Tower.

• Lu Chuan killed the people who had tracked and attacked him, but regretted that he had destroyed the one who might have revealed more about the plot.
• Lu Chuan returned to Myriad Treasures Tower and entered Luo Peng’s office without being detected.
• Lu Chuan accused Myriad Treasures Tower of exposing his information, and Luo Peng promised to investigate and explain what happened.
• Lu Chuan asked Luo Peng for the identity and personal information of the person in Box No. 21, whom he suspected of ordering the ambush.
• Luo Peng hesitated because revealing a VIP client’s information violated the tower’s rules, and Lu Chuan told him to give a single answer.

• Luo Peng revealed that Box No. 21 belonged to Li Yuntao, a peak Transcendent Ninth Realm descendant of the Li Family of Xuanhuang Universe Country, and gave Lu Chuan his image.
• Lu Chuan left Luo Peng’s office using spiritual power to mislead his soul perception, then waited on a rooftop while monitoring Myriad Treasures Tower.
