After learning that the Golden Robe Youth had blood-sacrificed Feng Jing City, Luo Hong joined Baohua and the Spirit King in a trap at Fu Ling Mountain. The Golden Robe Youth resisted their formation and attacks, sealed the Spirit King's Seal Immortal Bead with the Blood Seal Technique, and began breaking free as the Spirit Capturing Heavenly Net attacked the Spirit King.

• Baohua’s petals helped ease Luo Hong’s pain, and Luo Hong seized the golden little man and struck him with Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.
• The Spirit King proposed refining the Golden Immortal True Soul into an Immortal Soul Pill, and Luo Hong demanded that he and Baohua share it because the Spirit King’s failure had nearly let the captive escape.
• The Spirit King explained that the pill required one hundred thousand years to form and offered the rest of the loot in exchange for their shares; Baohua lost interest when she heard how long it would take.

Luo Hong negotiated a share of Immortal Soul Pills with the Spirit King and Baohua, then divided the fallen True Immortal’s treasures with them. After reaching Fu Ling Mountain, he began restoring the damaged Blood-Water Fu Ling Flower by having Xue’er seize its body, and Xue’er reported that she had succeeded but felt pain.

• Luo Hong persuaded the Spirit King to share the Immortal Soul Pills, agreeing that the Spirit King would receive two and Baohua one if Luo Hong’s side supplied the herbs.

• Xue'er showed Luo Hong a Blood Pattern Fruit and explained that it could self-destruct, with its power depending on the essence blood used to form it.
• Luo Hong took the fruit back to the pavilion and called for Ling Shu, intending to conduct experiments.

Three years later, Luo Hong used Blood Pattern Fruits to draw cultivators into supplying ancient beast corpses for the recovering Netherworld Grotto-heaven. Baohua warned him that Six Extremes was gathering powerful cultivators to attack the Mother of Parasitic Insects, and Luo agreed to join her after handling his own affairs, then confronted Chizu for hiding how her growth had alerted the Mother.

• Luo Hong used the Little Black Ball to frighten Chizu into admitting her concealment, then left her weakened in the stone room.

• Luo Hong gave Ao Lü and the other Holy Sons Soul Devouring Bottles and ordered them to collect the foreign race's souls and corpses.
• Ao Qing stayed behind after the others descended and asked Luo Hong who he was.

Luo Hong formally visited the Flying Spirit Race, revealed his identity to Ao Qing and the Nine Yue Spirit Emperor, and demonstrated the power of his White Bone Fiend Dragon.

After testing Luo Hong’s abilities, the Nine Yue Spirit Emperor ordered the Flying Spirit branches to gather the promised materials and warned them to stop violating clan rules.

• Luo Hong explained that the Human and Monster Races needed ties with an established power and offered to help the Nine Yue Race capture Silver Frost Fortress.

After leaving with a blue crystal, he examined its hidden spirit patterns with Silver Fairy, revealing a mystery he had yet to explain.

• On a deserted mountain, Luo Hong crushed the blue crystal again and pointed out its hidden spirit patterns to Silver Fairy, who recognized something unusual about them.

Luo Hong tested the Extreme Yuan Crystal and discovered that its Spirit Patterns were traces left by Law Chains, which he believed could help him understand Threads of Law. He devised a plan to keep the patterns visible with a Five Elements conversion formation, then prepared to reach the Earth Abyss before the spatial tide arrived.

• Luo Hong used the Earth Store Dharma Wheel and an Immortal Yuan Stone to test the Extreme Yuan Crystal, causing its Spirit Patterns to appear.

• Silver Fairy urged Luo Hong to approach the Earth Abyss before the spatial tide so they could teleport accurately into Styx Land.

• Luo Hong explained that he wanted the Mahayana cultivators in Styx Land to refine ghost soldiers using Yin Qi, rather than trade them Mad Thunder Tribulation-Averting Armor.

Luo Hong and Qing Yuanzi received Marquis Golden Flame, who offered Breathing Soil in exchange for borrowing Yuan Yao for a few days of dual cultivation. When Marquis Golden Flame threatened Yuan Yao’s Dao companion, Luo Hong teleported them both away.

• Luo Hong released a silver halo and forcibly teleported himself and Marquis Golden Flame away.

Luo Hong attacked Marquis Golden Flame after learning that the woman he had requested from Jiang was Luo Hong’s Dao companion, Yuan Yao. After defeating Marquis Golden Flame with the Mitian Bell and Illusory World Star Pupil, Luo Hong accepted his offer to make amends, leaving Marquis Golden Flame to transform into a beautiful woman.

• Luo Hong struck Marquis Golden Flame’s apparent body with a punch, then revealed his true form as a six-eyed, monkey-like alien after the false body’s head exploded.

• Luo Hong agreed to let Marquis Golden Flame make amends if he could satisfy Yuan Yao, and Marquis Golden Flame transformed into a breathtaking golden-haired woman.

He promised Qing Yuanzi that Yuan Yao would return within three years and gave her a rare Nine Nether Orchid to strengthen her Heavenly Yin Body.

• Marquis Golden Flame explained that her race could change its yin-yang attributes and apologized to Yuan Yao, and Luo Hong persuaded her to recruit four other Mahayana cultivators for his armor-refining plan.
• Luo Hong told Qing Yuanzi that he would take Yuan Yao away for at most three years and establish a Spatial Formation in Styx Land before leaving.

After returning from Styx Land, Luo Hong helped Yuan Yao refine half of the Nine Nether Orchid and spent several years cultivating with her, bringing her to the Integration Mid-stage.

• Luo Hong guided Yuan Yao through refining the Linglong Brocade Ball with her essence blood and Spirit Wine, and she successfully bound the treasure after forty-nine days.
• Yuan Yao said she would use Ming Luo’s inherited secret technique to subdue the Devouring Immortal Body, while Luo Hong left to attend to his own matters.
• Luo Hong reached a black wasteland, summoned more than a hundred Time Illusion Bodies, and distributed prepared Storage Bags among them.

Luo Hong began refining the newly born realm, using a formation and the Sky Breaking Spirit Domain to provoke its Heavenly Dao into attacking so he could shatter its Law Chains. He broke several chains, and the Heavenly Dao launched a stronger assault while Luo Hong concealed his next move.

• Luo Hong sent over a hundred Time Incarnations to arrange secret formations at the realm's earth-vein nodes.
• Silver Fairy suggested that Luo Hong provoke the Heavenly Dao by expanding his Sky Breaking Spirit Domain and making it feel that its space was being stripped away.
• Luo Hong spent several months building a Golden Eye Formation to support his plan.
• Luo Hong expanded his Sky Breaking Spirit Domain across ten thousand miles, drawing pressure from the Heavenly Dao.
• Luo Hong used the Sky Breaking Spear to shatter several damaged Law Chains as the Heavenly Dao sent more chains to attack him.
• The Golden Eye Formation's Top-grade Spirit Stones began to be consumed and the Black Spirit Life Creation Disk slowed, but Luo Hong's domain held steady as he thought, "I've fooled you!"

Luo Hong prepared to enter the Demon Realm to confront the Mother of Parasitic Insects while Mo Jianli worried over the danger and the Human and Monster Races’ security. After Luo Hong convinced him that the race needed Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao to deal with the Yaksha Race, Mo Jianli gave him a powerful relic for protection.

• Luo Hong took Yuan Yao back to the Spirit World, concealed the Immortal Embryo on Supreme Yang Peak, and escorted her toward the Flying Spirit Race.
• Five years later, Mo Jianli questioned Luo Hong’s decision to enter the Demon Realm, but Luo Hong reassured him by revealing the Sky Breaking Spear.
• Luo Hong argued that Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao needed to stay behind and prevent the Yaksha Race from allying with nearby minor races.
• Mo Jianli accepted Luo Hong’s decision and gave him the Mother-Child Yin Corpse Thunder, a weapon made from the corpse of a Human Race senior.
• Luo Hong resolved that the Human Race would no longer have to sacrifice its own dead for such weapons.
