• Su Fan stored Immortal Venerable Haoyue’s corpse and restrained his remnant soul, but a huge axe descended and shattered his Law Domain as Heavenly Rift Valley’s last Deity Transformation monster arrived.

Su Fan escaped Immortal Venerable Changshan’s attacks by activating a prepared defensive array, then used a blood sacrifice, pills, and Demonic Transformation to raise his strength and confront the late Deity Transformation cultivator. He gained the upper hand with his enhanced body and an Eighth-tier defensive talisman, but Changshan trapped him inside a shrinking half-Immortal Artifact.

• Su Fan repeatedly used the Blood Escape Technique to evade Immortal Venerable Changshan’s battle-axe, then activated Chen Qing’s Eighth-tier defensive Immortal Array.

• Su Fan slammed Changshan’s tortoiseshell shield aside and drove him back, then attacked with the Vajra Demon Extinguishing Great Hand Seal.
• Changshan blocked Su Fan’s giant palm with his Supreme Clarity Universe Immortal Locking Ring, which then trapped Su Fan and began shrinking around him.

Su Fan escaped Immortal Venerable Changshan’s Supreme Clarity Universe Immortal Locking Ring and used repeated Law Power sword strikes, demonic abilities, and Seventh-grade Immortal Talismans to keep the late-Deity Transformation cultivator on the defensive.

• After the last talisman barrage ended, Su Fan used blood light to teleport beside Immortal Venerable Changshan and close in for hand-to-hand combat.

Su Fan used close-range attacks to drive Immortal Venerable Changshan into a desperate counterattack, but Changshan’s half-immortal artifact seemed to kill him.

• Su Fan picked up the shattered Incarnation Witch Puppet, then saw several Void Refining Stage phantoms approaching from the distant sky.

Su Fan returned to Northern Dome Immortal Sect after killing four Deity Transformation cultivators, then hid in seclusion as news of his demonic cultivation and battle spread across Crimson Cloud Heaven. After studying the shattered Incarnation Witch Puppet, he made a weaker replica, emerged from seclusion, and tried to explain himself to Immortal Venerable Ru Feng.

• Su Fan escaped the scrutiny of the Void Refining Venerables and returned to his Cave Mansion, where he sealed himself inside and claimed he was healing.
• News spread across Crimson Cloud Heaven that Su Fan had killed four Deity Transformation cultivators and over two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, while his identity as a demonic cultivator was exposed.
• Su Fan studied the shattered Incarnation Witch Puppet and, after two months of work, created a weaker replica that could form an external incarnation and take one death in another's place.
• Su Fan activated his Communication Formation Disk and told his master he had emerged from seclusion; he claimed a Demon Sect secret technique had forced him to feign death while healing.
• When Immortal Venerable Ru Feng questioned whether Su Fan had truly been injured, Su Fan insisted he had used a blood-exploding technique and hurt his soul, then protested that he had nearly died.

Su Fan admitted to Immortal Venerable Ru Feng that he had deliberately lured the Heavenly Rift Valley cultivators into a trap, while his master warned him to keep a lower profile and resume studying formations. After Su Fan reunited with Chen Qing and Shen Fang, they treated him with unusual deference because news of his feat—killing four Deity Transformation cultivators, including a late-stage one—had spread across Crimson Cloud Heaven.

Su Fan’s fame as a powerful demonic cultivator spread throughout Crimson Cloud Heaven, making him valuable to Northern Dome Immortal Sect but leaving his place in the sect uncertain. He resumed studying formations under Immortal Venerable Ru Feng, while the sect’s leaders offered him no further rewards and prepared him to master the Secret Hall inheritance.

• Cultivators across Crimson Cloud Heaven learned that Su Fan was a Rogue Cultivator from the remote Azure Sky Star Domain and that he was a demonic cultivator, prompting fear, gossip, and criticism within Northern Dome Immortal Sect.

• Su Fan continued studying the Path of Formations, met with Immortal Venerable Ru Feng for tests, and relied on Chen Qing’s help to pass despite his master’s increasingly strict instruction.
• Senior Brother Lifeng told Su Fan he would leave the Law Enforcement Hall to focus on formations, and Su Fan realized his master wanted him to master the sect’s Secret Hall inheritance in case the sect later transferred him away.

• Su Fan resolved to find a complete body cultivation inheritance and contacted Zhang Xuan, who agreed to ask around for one from a super immortal sect.

Su Fan spent more than a year crafting and selling Nine Palaces Phantom Maze Formations to advance his formation skills, but the costly materials left him short of Spirit Crystals. After one sale in Northern Dome Immortal City, rumors about his murderous reputation frightened the shopkeeper, while Su Fan remained unaware and worried about his finances.

• Su Fan repeatedly crafted the expensive Nine Palaces Phantom Maze Formation, raising his formation experience and selling successful formations to shops in Northern Dome Immortal City.
• Su Fan tested a completed formation in his Portable Secret Realm and confirmed that its concealed valley and hidden entrance worked.

• Immortal Venerable Qiuling visited Su Fan and gave him a gift, while Immortal Venerable Ru Feng falsely claimed that Su Fan had knelt all night refusing to leave Northern Dome Immortal Sect.

Su Fan agreed to join Town Mountain Dao Palace after Immortal Venerable Qiuling offered him elite-disciple status, a Body Cultivation secret technique, and access to three Secret Hall treasures. Before leaving Northern Dome Immortal Sect, he reaffirmed his bond with Immortal Venerable Ru Feng and met Chen Qing, who was heartbroken by his departure.

• Immortal Venerable Qiuling urged Su Fan to join Town Mountain Dao Palace, and Su Fan insisted that he owed his master Immortal Venerable Ru Feng too much to leave without his approval.
• Immortal Venerable Qiuling offered Su Fan elite-disciple status, fifty thousand Merit Points, a Body Cultivation secret technique, and three Secret Hall treasures.

• Su Fan returned to his Cave Mansion and found Chen Qing waiting; he told her he was leaving and promised to help her whenever she needed him.

Su Fan struggled with Chen Qing’s sudden departure, then focused on formation research while preparing to leave the Northern Dome Immortal Sect. After the sect removed him from its rolls, Immortal Venerable Ru Feng sent him off with a Storage Ring to join Immortal Venerable Qiuling at the Town Mountain Dao Palace.

• Chen Qing left Su Fan a Storage Ring of formation materials and departed on an exchange mission to other planes with Shen Fang and hundreds of sect disciples for several years.
