The chapter ended with Luo Hong realizing Qian was using his Wind Law ability to harass him without technically breaking the Ascension Altar’s no-fighting rule.

• The Rakshasa Queen gave Luo Hong Jiang Mang Blood from the Black Water Pavilion and relayed Lou Guangshou’s request to meet him about refining a treasure.

• Huo Baokang explained how the Heavenly Punishment Platform exposed forbidden techniques and how his own Pure Yang Law caused a scandal that kept him from joining a faction.

• Luo Hong placed the Soul Birth Flower, whose aura carried a Tracking Mark, aside and waited while pretending to refine the already-finished True God Pills.
• Lou Guangshou used the Tracking Mark to locate Luo Hong within the Rakshasa Kingdom, then led Wang Zhong and Qian Boyan out to find him.

Zhong Quan considered taking Luo Hong’s True God Pill refining method, but Cao Bing urged him to preserve their friendship and recruit powerful allies instead. Lou Guangshou’s group attacked, and Luo Hong escaped after revealing his strength as a Profound Immortal, leaving Lou Guangshou to turn on Cao Bing and Zhong Quan.

• Cao Bing charged Lou Guangshou’s Two Forms Hammer to create an opening, but Lou Guangshou trapped him with the Soft Water Law and demanded that he and Zhong Quan sign a Spirit Contract.
• Cao Bing offered information about the True God Pills in exchange for a shorter contract, and Qian Boyan retrieved four pills from the Taoist temple’s furnace.

• Luo Hong revealed that Wang Zhong and Qian Boyan had been caught in his illusion and that his apparent injuries and escape were fake.
• Luo Hong turned toward an unexpected voice after Silver Fairy questioned his elaborate plan.

Luo Hong fought Song Qing, who had uncovered his identity as the Void Escaping Pavilion Master and tried to capture him. Song Qing escaped Luo Hong’s killing blow with a Life-Saving Immortal Talisman, and Luo Hong recognized him as a member of the Wu Chang Alliance.

• Luo Hong realized the True God Pills he had refined contained Old Demon Han’s split souls, which would make their other consumers carry Han’s aura into the Xing Tian Platform.
• Song Qing revealed himself as a mid-stage True Immortal from the Black Water Pavilion and destroyed Luo Hong’s Luotian Boat with Three Yuan Heavy Water.
• Song Qing attacked Luo Hong with eighteen heavy-water tentacles, but Luo Hong broke them with the third layer of the Shocking Thunder Secret Scroll.
• Luo Hong’s Heavenly Punishment Thunder Arrow failed against Song Qing’s Black Origin Shield, so he struck Song Qing’s primordial spirit and followed with the Sky Breaking Spear.

• Wenren Ji revealed that Tianyan Temple had sought to destroy Luo Hong's original world and warned that the Temple had likely already begun acting against him.

Luo Hong learned why Tianyan Temple hunted anomalies and heard Wenren Ji’s plan to help him become the Primordial Dao Ancestor, leaving him with renewed fighting spirit. He refined Song Qing’s corpse into Immortal Yuan Stones, sorted through Song Qing’s possessions, and decided to keep his Nascent Soul untouched to avoid alerting the Heavy Water Sect.

• Wenren Ji explained that Tianyan Temple’s Nine-Revolution Tianyan Instrument could not directly divine the source of the Primordial Law, and revealed that he wanted to help Luo Hong become the Primordial Dao Ancestor.
• Luo Hong realized Wenren Ji’s plan could prevent future anomalies from evading detection, and took hope from the fact that even the Lord of Reincarnation Hall could not casually eliminate him.
• Luo Hong refined Song Qing’s corpse into thirty-six Immortal Yuan Stones, kept six, and sent thirty to the Mother of Parasitic Insects in exchange for Insect Milk.
• Luo Hong inspected Song Qing’s belongings, kept the damaged Black Origin Shield and Ice Spirit Wing, and identified the Heavy Water Lightning Pearl as a powerful weapon.
