• Luo Hong demanded that Hua Rui help him seize a Small Sacred Tree and offered her a place in the Supreme Yang Realm if she cooperated.

• She Lao Gui led Luo Hong to the Demon Race main camp, where they entered a heavily restricted Underground Palace.

The demons agreed to his plan and his demand for all the Black Spirit Flowers in the Wood Race’s stores.

• Holy Ancestor Tun Tian descended in his true body and told Luo Hong that the Demon Race was preparing to break the stalemate with the Wood Race.
• Luo Hong showed Tun Tian Black Owl King’s head, and the demons realized the death had ruined their plan to lure and wound the Wood Race Great Elder.

• Luo Hong asked for all the Black Spirit Flowers in the Wood Race’s stores, and Tun Tian agreed on behalf of the Demon Race.

Luo Hong prepared for the planned assault on the Wood Race and arranged for Chizu to consume the Black Owl King's Nascent Soul in exchange for accepting Restrictions. He persuaded Chizu that her true body might have been destroyed and offered terms that would keep her from acting against him without requiring her obedience.

• Luo Hong requested Black Spirit Flowers and Stone Heart Demon reinforcements from Holy Ancestor Tun Tian, who agreed to send half the Stone Heart Demons and set the attack for half a month later.
• Ling Xianzi brought Luo Hong to the Gathering Spirit Residence, where he established Restrictions and released the Black Owl King's Nascent Soul.
• Luo Hong summoned Chizu to devour the Nascent Soul, but she refused to cooperate with his plan to place Restrictions on her.
• Luo Hong told Chizu that her true body might have perished after a female Patrolling Immortal Envoy attempted to seize it, and he revealed the Earth Store Dharma Wheel as evidence of his connection to Envoy He.
• Chizu agreed to consider Luo Hong's terms after learning her true body might no longer exist, and Luo Hong promised only to prevent her from acting against him while warning that breaking their aura connection would destroy her primordial spirit.

Luo Hong secured Chizu’s cooperation by placing a restriction on her primordial spirit, while she devoured Black Owl King’s nascent soul. At the Wood Race Holy Land, Wu Tong learned that Black Owl King had died and prepared the clan for a worsening war with the Demon Race, revealing that he expected the Wood Race to lose more than half its population.

• Luo Hong promised to help Chizu reclaim the original’s body and remove her restriction after she worked for him in the True Immortal Realm, and Chizu agreed after warning him about dangers there.

• Mu Jiao and Mu Jun reported to Wu Tong that Black Owl King’s soul lamp had gone out and that Mu Jiao’s Azure Wisdom Spirit Eye had detected only darkness at the battlefield.
• Wu Tong canceled the planned ambush on the Demon Race vanguard, ordered the Wood Race into a defensive posture, and sent pills to the Earth Vein Major Cities.
• Wu Tong told Mu Jiao that the Wood Race could not win the war and that he intended to force the other races to join the fight, even if the Wood Race lost more than half its population.

Mu Jiao learned that the Yaksha and Shadow Races would not send meaningful reinforcements, while Wu Tong prepared the Wood Race to evacuate its Holy Land if necessary. Meanwhile, Luo Hong joined Tun Tian as the Demon Race launched a coordinated assault, and he studied the army’s tactics as the story left the battle underway.

• Mu Jiao accepted Wu Tong’s explanation for stripping her military authority and promised to keep the Holy Land’s evacuation preparations secret.
• Wu Tong lamented to the Black Spirit Sacred Tree, then took its scattering seeds as a sign that the Wood Race still had hope.
• Half a month later, Tun Tian ordered five armies to attack five Earth Vein Major Cities simultaneously, with Luo Hong’s five incarnations carrying Giant Spirit Decrees.
• She Lao Gui and the other four commanders departed with Luo Hong’s Time Illusion Bodies, while Tun Tian and Luo Hong watched the armies advance from the camp.
• Luo Hong used the Demon Sealing Token to examine the advancing legions and realized the Demon Race matched its demonic beast formations to the Wood Race’s defenses.

The Demon Race’s assault on the Wood Race’s Earth Vein Major Cities began with Ling Xianzi’s forces capturing Mu Dong City’s outer wall through a blood formation, but the Wood Race turned the battle with the life-threatening Ku Rong Dan. With the five Earth Vein Decrees still needing to be placed and the Wood Race suddenly gaining the upper hand, Luo Hong and Holy Ancestor Tun Tian faced a worsening impasse.

• Luo Hong watched Ling Xianzi’s demonic beasts break Mu Dong City’s outer defenses, then saw their deaths trigger a blood formation that trapped and breached the city wall.
• Wen Ren Xuan Fu ordered the Wood Race defenders to retreat into the inner city, where the Wood Spirit Domain and arriving reinforcements let them hold off the Demon Race.
• Luo Hong told Holy Ancestor Tun Tian that his first Earth Vein Decree was in place, and Niu Lao Mo later reported breaching another city wall.
• Holy Ancestor Tun Tian received an urgent report that Ling Xianzi’s army had been driven back, and Luo Hong identified the Wood Race’s Ku Rong Dan as the cause.
• Luo Hong warned that activating the remaining decrees would expose his incarnations to the empowered Wood Race, while Holy Ancestor Tun Tian asked him for a solution.

Luo Hong agreed to help Holy Ancestor Tun Tian turn the battle at Mu Dong City by opening a spatial passage in exchange for Myriad Beast Armor and refining materials. As the Wood Race defenders and Demon Race forces fought desperately, Luo Hong’s Yin Sha Mist marked the Demon Race corpses, and swarms of Purple Flying Ants emerged from the rift, leaving the Wood Race unsure of what was coming.

• Luo Hong negotiated with Holy Ancestor Tun Tian for one million sets of Myriad Beast Armor and materials for the rest, then prepared a spatial formation and summoned a True Spirit remnant.
• Ling Xianzi activated Luo Hong’s Silver Magic Disk while fighting Wen Ren Xuan Fu, and both fighters resorted to life-consuming techniques to hold their ground.
• Luo Hong opened a vast Spatial Rift over Mu Dong City, and Yin Sha Mist spread across the battlefield before marking nearby Demon Race cultivators and corpses.
• Wen Ren Xuan Fu warned the Wood Race cultivators that the marks signaled an attack, while Ling Xianzi ordered the Demon Race forces to wait and counterattack.
• Dense swarms of Purple Flying Ants poured from the rift, and Wen Ren Xuan Fu and Mu Jun failed to identify them.

Luo Hong used Chizu’s Demon-Absorbing Ants to help the Demon Race capture Mu Dong City and seal the Wood Spirit Domains in five cities, setting the stage for an assault on the Wood Race Holy Land. After learning that Mu Jun had been captured, Luo Hong left to handle other matters, while Tun Tian promised him additional troops and payment.

• Luo Hong released Chizu’s Demon-Absorbing Ant Swarm through the silver arrays, helping Ling Xianzi’s forces defeat the Wood Race defenders and capture Mu Dong City.
• Tun Tian thanked Luo Hong for securing the victory and promised to deliver Myriad Beast Armor and materials to the Human Race’s Supreme Yang Realm after the Holy Land was breached.
• The Demon-Absorbing Ants returned to the Spatial Rift, and the silver magic disk that had activated the array shattered.
• Mu Jun used a token to break through the Demon Race encirclement and reach the Earth Vein Teleportation Array, but the array’s power sealed the Wood Spirit Domain and trapped him; Ling Xianzi ordered him taken to Tun Tian.
• Luo Hong told Ling Xianzi that the Wood Spirit Domains in the other four cities had also been sealed, leaving the Wood Race Holy Land weakened.
• Luo Hong departed for the Supreme Yang Realm, and Tun Tian promised to send him two fully staffed Stone Heart Demon legions.

Miao Hu and her companions returned from the front lines to find Sky Abyss City unusually quiet, then learned that Luo Hong had become a Mahayana Cultivator. Xiang Zhili invited Miao Hu and Xuan Kongzi to Luo Hong’s Mahayana celebration at Supreme Yang Peak, leaving them with Black Spheres to enter the venue.

• After passing an inspection for Shadow Race spies, Miao Hu led her troops back to the Sky Fox stronghold, where she discovered that the Void Refinement guards had disappeared.
• Miao Hu questioned Xuan Kongzi at the Treasure Talisman Hall, and he told her that many senior cultivators across Sky Abyss City had also vanished.
• Xuan Kongzi gave Qingqing a jade slip that revealed Luo Hong had become a Mahayana Cultivator, prompting her to celebrate while Miao Hu struggled with envy and disappointment.
• Xiang Zhili arrived through a silver ring and delivered Miao Hu and Xuan Kongzi invitations to Luo Hong’s Mahayana celebration in the Supreme Yang Realm.
• Xiang Zhili gave them Black Spheres that would activate the restrictions leading to Supreme Yang Peak on the day of the ceremony, then departed to deliver more invitations.

Miao Hu decided to bring more than three hundred of her companions to Luo Hong’s Mahayana celebration, while Luo Hong took Han Li to meet Baohua and show her his rare medicinal herbs. Baohua recognized two immortal-grade herbs but explained that neither could cure her injuries, leaving her still dependent on the remedy she had sought.

• Luo Hong and Han Li arrived at Baohua’s secluded residence, where Black Abyss escorted them to her.

• Baohua said the herbs she recognized could aid cultivation but could not heal her injuries, while she did not recognize the other five.

Luo Hong and Han Li negotiated with Baohua over her Immortal Grade Spiritual Medicines and uncovered the Spirit Control Heaven Reaching Technique on a True Immortal’s remains. Luo Hong recognized that it could let Mahayana cultivators form a Pseudo Spirit Domain and greatly accelerate cultivation, and the story left them about to discuss how difficult the technique was to master.

• Luo Hong coached Han Li through negotiations while Han Li claimed he had no spiritual herbs to spare and asked Baohua what she could offer.
• Baohua revealed a True Immortal bone containing the Spirit Control Heaven Reaching Technique, and Han Li used an Immortal Yuan Stone to activate it.
• Baohua opened the bone with her Pink Spirit Flower, revealing Silver Tadpole Script that Han Li read aloud.
• Luo Hong recognized the technique as a way to construct a Pseudo Spirit Domain using Law Power and explained that Spirit Domains could suppress opponents’ laws and aid cultivation.
• Luo Hong told Han Li that mastering the technique could make ascending to the Immortal World only a matter of time, then asked Baohua to explain its cultivation difficulties.

Baohua explained the strict requirements for cultivating the Spirit Control Heaven Reaching Technique, and Han Li and Luo Hong considered how they might meet them. Han Li traded immortal medicines for the technique, sought Baohua’s help to save Zi Ling, and learned she planned to use a black pearl against Six Extremes.

• Baohua explained that the Spirit Control Heaven Reaching Technique required a suitable Profound Heaven Saint Artifact and precise control of Law Power.
• Han Li and Luo Hong assessed their chances of cultivating the technique, with Luo Hong concluding that he needed help from the Jiao Chi Race to obtain the Mitian Bell’s missing main body.
• Han Li opened three Jade Boxes and gave Baohua the Silver Lotus Seedpod and Silver Lotus Root she wanted, while asking about the seedpod’s origins.
• Han Li asked Baohua how to remove the incarnation restriction Six Extremes had placed on Zi Ling, and Baohua said Zi Ling could be saved only if all six of Six Extremes’ bodies were destroyed.
• Luo Hong questioned Baohua’s preparations against the Demon Kui Restriction, and Baohua revealed a translucent black Precious Pearl.

Baohua recounted how Six Extremes turned their former companions into demon puppets, confirming her determination to avenge Ming Luo and making an alliance with Luo Hong. Luo Hong then warned Baohua that consuming the Silver Lotus Seedpod tied her to a coming battle with the Skeleton True Immortal, and he left to prepare for his wife's imminent birth.

• Baohua gave Han Li a Precious Pearl that could delay Zi Ling's demon puppet restriction from erupting.
• Baohua explained that Six Extremes had refined departing companions into demon puppets, prompting her to flee and later work with Ming Luo on the Puppet-Sealing Pearl.
• Baohua declared that she would not forgive Six Extremes for Ming Luo's sake, and Luo Hong confirmed their alliance before sending Han Li back alone.
• Luo Hong told Baohua that the Silver Lotus Seedpod came from an immortal estate and that its true owner, the injured Skeleton True Immortal, would eventually pursue it.
• Luo Hong proposed that Baohua join him and another cultivator to kill the Skeleton True Immortal after her injuries healed, then departed for home as his wife was about to give birth.

Cultivators from across the Human and Monster Races gathered in Supreme Yang City for Luo Hong’s hastily arranged Mahayana celebration. Luo Hong returned from seclusion with treasures for his unborn child, exchanged gifts with Mo Jianli, and left to visit Fellow Daoist Yu before the ceremony.

• Luo Hong showed Mo Jianli the golden Universe Circle and red Chaos Tunic, and Mo Jianli gave him gifts from himself and Ao Xiao.
• Luo Hong explained that the plaza was not the true celebration venue and pointed out the ritual platforms; Mo Jianli approved and told him to visit Fellow Daoist Yu.

Luo Hong explained to Yu Ruoxi that an approaching True Immortal forced him to leave his family and keep watch with his allies, and she agreed to protect Supreme Yang Peak. At the Grand Ascension celebration, the Supreme Yang Star Fortress appeared before the assembled crowd, while Luo Hong had yet to show himself.
