• Luo Hong had Fang Chan and the others store the Black River Water Palace in his vortex, then left with Xue'er using a Black Lightning Formation.
• Ten years later, Luo Hong and Xue'er arrived in the Golden Source Great Immortal Domain so Luo Hong could seek dense Immortal Spiritual Qi for his breakthrough.

Luo Hong searched for a secluded cultivation site in the Golden Source Mountain Range, where he encountered Fang Han fleeing a group of cultivators. After killing Fang Han and learning of the conflict he had caused, Luo Hong took his appearance to continue his plan.

• Luo Hong and Xue'er traveled to the Golden Source Mountain Range so he could find a suitable place to cultivate and break through.
• Luo Hong spotted Fang Han and his black-robed disciples being pursued by cultivators from several powers, and he secretly used his voice to make the pursuers believe Fang Han had set a trap.

• Luo Hong discovered Fang Han had abducted and exploited female cultivators, then burned Fang Han and his nascent soul to ash.
• Luo Hong decided to continue his plan and transformed himself into Fang Han's appearance.

Luo Hong impersonated Fang Han to end the attack on Freedom Palace, using illusions and his displayed Late Taiyi Realm strength to drive away Jin Chuan and reconcile with the other sect leaders. He secured their cooperation with Jade Clarity Pills and left the four sects expecting future deliveries.

• Luo Hong appeared as Fang Han, revealed a Late Taiyi Realm aura, and opened an apparent escape route to persuade the attacking sect leaders to withdraw.
• When Jin Chuan warned the others not to trust Fang Han, Luo Hong wounded him and let him retreat with the Heavenly Water Sect cultivators.
• Luo Hong convinced Yu Cangfeng and the other three Taiyi Cultivators to return to Freedom Palace, where their disciples released the six women they had been restraining.
• Luo Hong concealed his identity from the six women with an illusion and invited the four sect leaders to discuss matters in the damaged Freedom Hall.
• Luo Hong gave each sect leader a Jade Clarity Pill and promised one pill to each of their sects every hundred years, gaining their interest in maintaining ties with him.

Luo Hong took control of Freedom Palace, secured its forbidden Metal Power Field, and entered seclusion to deduce a cultivation technique for reaching the Da Luo Realm. A hundred years later, A Zi reported that Xue'er had delivered the promised Jade Clarity Pills and brought Luo Hong a shackled Fox Woman.

• Luo Hong sent Xue'er to deal with the Black Robed Golden Immortals, and she refined them into Blood Slaves while he freed six women from Fang Han's control and confined them to his cave abode.

• Luo Hong summoned the Golden Sun Reverse Rain Great Formation and told A Zi to guard the area while he secluded himself to deduce the Great Five Elements Devouring Yuan Skill.
• A hundred years passed as Freedom Palace stayed low-key under Xue'er's leadership, and she delivered Jade Clarity Pills to four people who had sought Luo Hong.
• A Zi reported to Luo Hong that someone had forced a shackled Green Clad Girl on them, and Luo Hong recognized her as a Fox Woman.

Luo Hong made Ye Susu his concubine and sent her to the Green Fox Clan to cultivate immortal herbs, using her as a way to delay Yu Cangfeng and the other sect leaders. After Yu Cangfeng accepted the five-hundred-year delay, Luo Hong prepared to begin advancing to the Great Luo Realm.

• Luo Hong learned that Yu Cangfeng had sent Ye Susu and ordered her to return to the Green Fox Clan to grow immortal herbs for Jade Clarity Pills.
• Luo Hong gave Ye Susu a Storage Bag and a Restriction Token, then had a Black Robed Golden Immortal escort her from Freedom Palace.
• Golden Horse Sect disciples ambushed Ye Susu, but Luo Hong's token transformed into a divine sword and killed them despite Yu Cangfeng's attempt to intervene.
• Yu Cangfeng gave Ye Susu an immortal artifact and agreed to wait five hundred years while he and a shadowy Taiyi cultivator planned to investigate the Green Fox Clan.
• Luo Hong overheard their discussion, put away the Golden Sun Reverse Rain Great Formation, and prepared the immortal herbs and Spiritual Incense to advance to the Great Luo Realm.

Five hundred years after Luo Hong tasked the Green Fox Clan with growing immortal herbs, Ye Susu and Ye Luo traveled to Freedom Palace and were captured by Yu Cangfeng’s forces. Xue'er lured the attackers into a formation trap, leaving Yuan Sanjiang and Yu Cangfeng struggling as the formation turned against them.

• Ye Susu set out for Freedom Palace with her mother, Ye Luo, to deliver the matured immortal herbs and seek a breakthrough pill.
• Jin Chuan followed them under orders from Senior Brother Yuan, who planned to use the conflict with Freedom Palace to advance the Heavenly Water Sect.
• Xue'er watched Yu Cangfeng, Yuan Sanjiang, and their forces gather outside Freedom Palace, then captured Ye Susu and Ye Luo as they approached.
• Yuan Sanjiang presented an Imperial Decree accusing Fang Han of cultivating a forbidden Heavenly Court technique, and Xue'er let the attackers enter Freedom Palace.
• Yu Cangfeng and Yuan Sanjiang used seventy-two Golden Immortals to form black and white millstones against the Blood Light Screen, but Xue'er turned their formation against them.
• The formation crushed its own operators as Yuan Sanjiang tried to resist, while Yu Cangfeng begged him to find a way out.

Yuan Sanjiang and Yu Cangfeng attacked Xue’er after Yuan Sanjiang’s tampered formation flags killed seventy-two Golden Immortal cultivators, but a vast breakthrough phenomenon interrupted them. Luo Hong endured the Great Dao’s power and completed his advancement to the Early Da Luo Realm.

• Yuan Sanjiang activated the tampered formation flags, killing all seventy-two Golden Immortal cultivators, and Yu Cangfeng blamed him before turning his fury toward Xue’er.
• Xue’er prepared to use Luo Hong’s sealed spacetime token, but a thunderclap interrupted the attack as the Golden Cauldron Gate, Mad Saber Valley, and Cold Sword Mountain forces approached Freedom Palace.
• Five-colored immortal clouds spread across the region, and condensed Immortal Spiritual Qi formed flood dragons as the phenomenon disrupted the nearby cultivators.
• Xue’er recognized that Luo Hong’s breakthrough had succeeded, while the Great Dao’s pressure forced Yuan Sanjiang and Yu Cangfeng to crash to the ground.
• Luo Hong endured the Immortal Spiritual Qi and the Great Dao’s laws, glimpsed a point of light in the Primordial Law, and sensed that he could touch the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Luo Hong broke through to Da Luo, defeated the forces that had attacked during his advancement, and set out for the Golden Source Immortal Palace to investigate Yuan Sanjiang’s claim that he acted on Dongfang Bai’s orders. The chapter ended with Luo Hong confronting Dongfang Bai, who recognized that he was not Fang Han.

• Luo Hong discovered that reaching Da Luo had transformed his control over Primordial Power, letting him use Primordial Divine Abilities without fearing detection by Tianyan Temple.
• A Zi reported that Xue'er had captured Yuan Sanjiang and the cultivators from four sects, whom Luo Hong had Xue'er drain and kill; he kept Yuan Sanjiang alive as a guide to the Golden Source Immortal Palace.

• At the Golden Source Immortal Palace, Tao Ji reported to Dongfang Bai as its Heavenly Court and Nine Yuan Temple factions argued over investigating the new Da Luo cultivator.
• Luo Hong arrived and confronted Dongfang Bai, presenting Yuan Sanjiang as evidence of the attack; Dongfang Bai recognized that Luo Hong was not Fang Han.

Luo Hong confronted Dongfang Bai at Golden Source Immortal Palace over the scheme that had interrupted his breakthrough, then forced Dongfang Bai to admit defeat and open an altar to the lower realm. Luo Hong departed for the Lesser Southern Continent World Cluster with A Zi and Xue'er, leaving the Immortal Palace shaken and damaged.

• Luo Hong killed Dongfang Bai's black-robed confidant after the man challenged him, revealing his mastery of Space Law and terrifying the Golden Source Immortal Palace cultivators.
• Luo Hong demanded an explanation for having his path cut off and offered to settle the matter if Dongfang Bai survived three moves, prompting Dongfang Bai to blame Yuan Sanjiang and offer compensation.
• Luo Hong demanded use of the palace's lower-realm altar and challenged Dongfang Bai to receive one move, then struck the palace with a Five-Colored Giant Hand.
• Dongfang Bai unleashed his Senluo spiritual domain and transformed into a Wooden Armor Giant, while the domain drained the Immortal Yuan Power of Tao Ji and the other cultivators within its reach.
• Luo Hong used Great Black Heaven to collapse the Senluo Domain and badly injure Dongfang Bai, who conceded and ordered Tao Ji to open an altar.
• Luo Hong chose an altar leading to the Lesser Southern Continent World Cluster and departed with A Zi and Xue'er, while the surviving cultivators lamented the damage and blamed Yuan Sanjiang.

Dongfang Bai reported Luo Hong to Immortal Venerable Miaofa, while Luo Hong explained his Great Black Heaven technique to A Zi and Xue'er before reaching Sha Ke City to seek the Xia Ling Tribe. After A Zi swallowed the city lord, Luo Hong gathered the Human Race residents and began investigating those who seemed to know about the tribe.

• Dongfang Bai contacted Immortal Venerable Miaofa and blamed Luo Hong for injuring him and destroying much of the Golden Source Immortal Palace.
• Immortal Venerable Miaofa ordered Dongfang Bai to guard the lower realm altar after learning Luo Hong had gone to the Lesser Southern Continent Realm.
• Luo Hong told A Zi and Xue'er that his attack on Dongfang Bai had been a simplified divine ability version of Great Black Heaven, then led them toward the Spirit World.
• Luo Hong arrived at Sha Ke City, asked its arrogant city lord about the Xia Ling Tribe, and A Zi swallowed the city lord after he tried to seize her.
• Luo Hong knocked out the foreign races, gathered the Human Race residents, and used illusion arts to search the memories of cultivators who reacted strangely to his question about the Xia Ling Tribe.

Luo Hong rescued the Xia Ling Tribe’s hidden Human Race from a Saint Armor Race assault and revealed himself as their Heavenly Venerate. After learning the Yellow Wind Realm’s humans possessed only a fraction of the realm’s fortune, he considered supporting them while investigating a clue to his Evil Corpse.

• Luo Hong teleported Xiang Feng and his companions from Sha Ke City to Azure Wave Lake, where Saint Armor Race forces had surrounded the Xia Ling Tribe’s human refuge.
• When the Saint Armor Race attacked, Luo Hong used a restriction to trap its armies, and A Zi and Xue'er slaughtered the alien cultivators.
• Yang Xiu recognized Luo Hong as Heavenly Venerate Luo, and the Yellow Wind Realm cultivators saluted him.
• Luo Hong said slaughtering the aliens had stirred his Nascent Soul and given him a slight clue about the Evil Corpse, so he sent A Zi east to attack more Saint Armor forces.
• Yang Xiu explained that a Wentian Stone could summon a Realm Ship sooner if the Human Race’s fortune fluctuated, and Luo Hong learned that they held only one-tenth of the Yellow Wind Realm’s fortune.

Luo Hong transformed the Yellow Wind Realm’s vital energy to weaken the Saint Armor Race and strengthen Human Race fortune, then used the Wentian Stone to open a passage back to the Spirit World. After arriving, he encountered three Five-Light Clan cultivators discussing a ruin associated with his past.

• Luo Hong used the Mitian Bell to reset the Yellow Wind Realm’s Five Elements and redistribute its yin and yang, causing Human Race fortune to grow as the Saint Armor Race lost its advantage.
• Yang Xiu and the other cultivators thanked Luo Hong, and Yang Xiu told him what he knew about the Spirit World before receiving a True Immortal-grade pill.
• Luo Hong summoned A Zi and Xue'er, opened a Space Passage through the Wentian Stone, and warned the Yellow Wind Realm cultivators to rely on themselves and prepare for the Saint Armor Race’s retaliation.
• Yang Xiu organized a relocation and investigated a cultivator frozen by Luo Hong’s Immobilization Technique after Luo Hong departed.
• Luo Hong, A Zi, and Xue'er emerged from a Silver Vortex over the sea in the Spirit World, where Luo Hong overheard three Five-Light Clan cultivators discussing a possible ruin of his.
• Luo Hong appeared before the three cultivators and revealed that he had once cultivated among the Flying Spirit Race and become the Five-Light Clan’s Holy Son.

Luo Hong returned to the Flying Spirit Race and visited Styx Land, where he found Yuan Yao facing pressure from the Mayfly Race and other Mahayana cultivators. He secretly reunited with her as she prepared to resist the Mayfly Race with the support of the gathered cultivators.

• Luo Hong learned that he was near the Flying Spirit Race and guided three Five-Light Clan cultivators toward a ruin before traveling to the Earth Abyss with A Zi and Xue'er.
• Ao Qing recognized Luo Hong at the Earth Abyss entrance, ordered her people not to disturb him, and noted that he had not returned to see her.
• Luo Hong opened a passage into Styx Land and found Yuan Yao's dojo surrounded by eight Mahayana cultivators seeking her help against the Mayfly Race.
• Four cultivators attacked Yuan Yao's protective formation, but her Linglong Brocade Ball trapped them in an illusion until Marquis Jin Yan offered to oppose the Mayfly Race alongside her.
• Luo Hong secretly entered the hall and saw Yuan Yao agree to unite with the other cultivators, promising to protect them with the treasures he had left behind.

Yuan Yao refused to leave Styx Land and fought Shang Xuzi and the Mayfly Race’s Mahayana cultivators. She destroyed their Sacred Nest and turned the battle with an illusion and a powerful puppet, leaving Shang Xuzi gravely wounded.

• Yuan Yao rejected Zi Youzi’s offer to leave Styx Land and confronted Shang Xuzi, who had brought eight Mayfly Race cultivators with him.
• Yuan Yao attacked with Mother-Child Yin Corpse Thunder, but the Mayfly cultivators merged their divine senses and resisted her illusion.
• Shang Xuzi summoned the Mayfly Race’s Sacred Nest, but its insects could not escape, and the nest broke apart and vanished in a Silver Vortex.
• Shang Xuzi accused Yuan Yao of destroying the Sacred Nest and attacked, but Yuan Yao’s Linglong Brocade Ball trapped the Mayfly cultivators in an illusion.
• A wolf-headed puppet struck Shang Xuzi through his defenses and gravely wounded him, while Marquis Jin Yan and his companions feared Yuan Yao’s power.

Luo Hong reunited with Yuan Yao in Styx Land, helped her capture the Mayfly Race cultivators, and promised to bring her to the Immortal World. He planned to refine Styx Land into his Netherworld Grotto-heaven and left the local cultivators under Yuan Yao’s command.

• Yuan Yao used an illusion to defeat the Mayfly Race cultivators, captured Shang Xuzi and seven others, and demanded sacred treasures in exchange for their release.
• Luo Hong appeared before Yuan Yao, who embraced him, while Xue'er turned Shang Xuzi into a Blood Slave.
• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao reunited in the hot springs, and he told her about his experiences in the Immortal World and his plan to refine Styx Land.
• Luo Hong invited Yuan Yao to accompany him to the Immortal World, explaining that the Netherworld could help her cultivate and that he needed to hunt high-grade yin beasts.
• Luo Hong revealed that Xue'er had made the Mayfly captives Blood Slaves and explained that he planned to use them to secretly control the Mayfly Race for the Xia Ling Tribe’s benefit.
• Luo Hong told Marquis Jin Yan and the other cultivators that he would refine Styx Land and take them to the Immortal World, provided they obeyed Yuan Yao.

Zi Youzi returned to the Mayfly Race’s ancestral land and urged the Second Elder to save Shang Xuzi and the other captured elders, but the Mayfly leaders instead activated a formation to attack Styx Land. Luo Hong intervened, rescued the captives, claimed Styx Land, and left the Mayfly Race to reckon with his warning as he settled Yuan Yao’s palace in the Netherworld Grotto-heaven.

• Zi Youzi told the Second Elder that Yuan Yao had defeated the Mayfly elders in Styx Land and that Shang Xuzi and seven others had been captured.
• The Second Elder awakened the Thunder Cicada and gathered all twenty-four Mayfly Mahayana Cultivators to activate the World-Destroying Nether River Formation.
• Luo Hong appeared above the formation, took control of it, and killed a Mayfly cultivator who insulted Yuan Yao.
• Zi Youzi chose to plead for the Mayfly Race rather than accept Luo Hong’s offer of a chance to ascend, and the Second Elder and the others surrendered Styx Land.
• Luo Hong refined Styx Land and returned Shang Xuzi and the seven other captives; Shang Xuzi then ordered an apology to the Xia Ling Tribe and an investigation into unusual events across the Spirit World.
• Luo Hong moved Yuan Yao’s Heavenly Yin Palace to the shore of the Blood Sea and said they would return to the Xia Ling Tribe once the Netherworld Grotto-heaven stabilized.

Luo Hong returned to Supreme Yang Peak after his soul flame transformed, reuniting with Yu Ruoxi, Ling Yuling, and Yin Qiao. As the Spirit King warned that the Spirit World might reconnect with the Immortal World and bring the Immortal Palace’s control, Luo Hong left the others wondering how their family and the Xia Ling Tribe would face the change.

• Three crimson-gold warships pursued two alien spies, but the spies destroyed their Nascent Souls before the cultivators could capture them alive.
• At Heavenly Venerate Peak, Yu Ruoxi and the other cultivators examined Luo Hong’s blazing soul flame, and the Spirit King suggested that either Luo Hong had grown stronger or the Spirit World was returning to the Immortal World.
• The Spirit King warned that the Immortal Palace might control the Spirit World if it reconnected, worrying Yu Ruoxi and Ling Yuling about their family’s foundation and the Guanghan Realm.
• Luo Hong suddenly appeared, embraced and kissed Yu Ruoxi, then sent the gathered cultivators away and brought Yu Ruoxi, Ling Yuling, and Yin Qiao into his cave abode.
• A month later, Luo Hong explained that he had given Ling Yuling and Yin Qiao a cultivation boost because their cultivation was lower than Yu Ruoxi’s.
• When Yu Ruoxi questioned how Luo Hong knew Yuan Yao’s cultivation, Luo Hong hurriedly pulled her into the cold mist and offered her a boost as well.
