• Luo Hong trapped the Spirit of Dark Blood with the Netherworld Finger and smashed its body, but the monster reassembled from blood droplets because its Law Power remained intact.

• Zhu He and Zhu Feng departed by Spirit Boat, and Luo Hong boarded with Liu Changlin and Luan Ni to return to their sect.

On the return journey, Luo Hong recovered his Immortal Yuan Power and searched the fallen enemies’ Storage Bags for useful resources. He discovered a Five-Colored Immortal Stone that stirred his bloodline and planned to refine it after returning to Bixia Peak.

• Luo Hong refined the corpses of the Bearded Big Man and two others into fifty-one Immortal Yuan Stones, then opened Chi Xi’s Storage Bag and took only its Immortal Yuan Stones to avoid trouble with the Flowing Fire Sect.

• Luo Hong opened the Black-robed Old Man’s Storage Bag and suppressed a powerful bloodline urge before recognizing a fist-sized Five-Colored Immortal Stone.
• Luo Hong sealed the Five-Colored Immortal Stone in a jade box to refine later at Bixia Peak, then stored the remaining spiritual materials and discussed the Glazed Tile Bowl’s value with Silver Fairy.

Luo Hong returned to Pine Crane Tower with thirty-two Ten Thousand Year Blood Peonies and arranged for Luan Ni to refine them into Bone-Mending Pills. Meanwhile, a scar-faced man and a dragon-masked woman freed and captured the Spirit of Dark Blood, and the Blood River Valley’s released blood qi empowered its beasts to charge toward a Human Race city.

• Luo Hong returned to Pine Crane Tower and asked Luan Ni to send a few pills to Bixia Peak once the first batches were ready.
• A scar-faced man and a dragon-masked woman discussed their Flowing Fire Sect agents, then used a Golden Ring to break the restriction and capture the Spirit of Dark Blood.
• The Blood River Valley restriction collapsed, releasing its accumulated blood qi; empowered blood-transformed demonic beasts gathered and charged toward the nearest Human Race city.

Luo Hong visited Meng Tianxing to exchange for the Five Qi Swallowing Yuan Technique and learned about the origins and uses of Five-Colored Immortal Stones. After Meng Tianxing gave him two unusable secret techniques as a joke, he suspected Luo Hong might already possess one of the stones.

• Luo Hong showed Meng Tianxing that he had comprehended part of the Great Five Elements Zhenyuan Hand, and Meng Tianxing discovered he cultivated the Five Elements Law through Five-Colored True Blood.
• Meng Tianxing warned Luo Hong about bloodline-related cultivation bottlenecks and explained that Five-Colored Immortal Stones could strengthen his bloodline.
• Meng Tianxing told Luo Hong that the stones were modeled after a legendary Five-Colored Divine Stone found in a mysterious place in the Savage Lands.
• Meng Tianxing offered to waive Luo Hong's extra Jade Points if he drank with him, then gave him a jade slip containing two secret techniques that Luo Hong could not use.
• Meng Tianxing suspected Luo Hong already had a Five-Colored Immortal Stone, but Luo Hong denied it and asked where he could obtain one.

Luo Hong learned that Five-Colored Immortal Stones were scarce but found ways to restore fragments and use them to cultivate his bloodline and the Five Qi Swallowing Yuan Technique. After a hundred years in seclusion, he opened his first immortal aperture through the technique and continued cultivating.

• Meng Tianxing told Luo Hong that private trade fairs in Moon Gazing City might offer Five-Colored Immortal Stones during the upcoming Conflict of Water and Fire, and explained Pine Crane Tower's custom of bringing new True Immortal elders to the event.
• Luo Hong exchanged Jade Points for the second-level Great Five Elements Zhenyuan Hand method and the first-level Five Qi Swallowing Yuan Technique.
• Luo Hong revealed that the two methods he had obtained for free required multiple Five-Colored Immortal Stones, then broke his own stone into fragments and used Primordial Qi to restore seventeen stones.
• Luo Hong arranged a Dual Immortal Stone Array with fourteen restored stones and used it alongside the Time Flowing Array to cultivate his Five-Colored Bloodline and the Five Qi Swallowing Yuan Technique.
• After a hundred years of cultivation, Luo Hong opened his first immortal aperture with the technique, judged his progress slow, and continued toward the second aperture.

Luo Hong discovered that Primordial Immortal Power could speed his cultivation and transform existing Immortal Apertures into Primordial Immortal Apertures, then focused on strengthening himself before the Conflict of Water and Fire. After exhausting the Five-Colored Immortal Stones, he broke through to thirteen mystic apertures and passed out as more Great Dao Golden Scripts appeared on his body.

• Luo Hong opened his eighth Immortal Aperture, then used pills and Primordial Qi to test Primordial Immortal Power and found it increased the Five Qi Swallowing Yuan Technique’s speed by thirty percent.
• Luo Hong discovered he could turn existing Immortal Apertures into Primordial Immortal Apertures, concealing his cultivation aura, and measured the time required for different apertures.
• Luo Hong planned to prioritize opening more Immortal Apertures before the Conflict of Water and Fire, which was two hundred years away inside the array.
• After three hundred and twenty years inside the array, Luo Hong absorbed the last of the Five-Colored Immortal Stones and opened his thirteenth mystic aperture, which overlapped with a Primordial Immortal Aperture.
• Luo Hong endured the appearance of twenty-four Great Dao Golden Scripts before passing out, and glimpsed a huge Five-Colored Peacock feeding from a Five-Colored Divine Stone.

At Pine Crane Tower, Luo Hong reunited with Luan Ni and Mu Yan Hong while the elders gathered for the Conflict of Water and Fire. Their tense exchange ended when Dao Master Yue arrived, his crane’s cry affecting the Immortal Yuan Power in everyone’s apertures.

• Luan Ni told Gu Wuhen she had come to compete for high-grade immortal herbs and celebrated her progress as a mid-grade Earth Pill Master with Luo Hong.
• Liu Changlin and Gu Wuhen praised the purity of Luo Hong’s aura, while Luo Hong reflected that his progress had taken 360 years and warned himself against complacency.
• Luan Ni began inviting Luo Hong to the Underground Trade Fair, but Mu Yan Hong interrupted with a teasing remark about his closeness to Luan Ni.
• Luo Hong took Mu Yan Hong’s hand and denied any impropriety with Luan Ni, then reminded Mu Yan Hong that he had only been repaying an old favor.
• Liu Changlin comforted Luan Ni, and her resolve returned as Dao Master Yue arrived above the plaza with a crane whose cry affected the elders’ Immortal Yuan Power.

Luo Hong arrived in Moon Gazing City with Pine Crane Tower’s elders for the Conflict of Water and Fire, then planned to sell Void Escaping Pearls by holding his own Underground Trade Fair. He persuaded Tan Jinqiu of the Heaven-Connecting Tower to cooperate, and Tan promised to help establish the largest fair within a month.

• Yue Duxing rewarded Huang Wanheng with a Profound True Pill, then brought the Pine Crane Tower elders to the mountains outside Moon Gazing City and told them the Secret Realm would open in three months.
• Luo Hong left for Moon Gazing City, concealed his identity, and told Silver Fairy that he planned to hold an Underground Trade Fair to sell their Void Escaping Pearls.
• At the Heaven-Connecting Tower, Luo Hong proposed cooperating with Tan Jinqiu, who initially dismissed the idea because the sects avoided the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.
• Luo Hong showed Tan Jinqiu a Void Escaping Pearl and explained its value as a life-saving treasure, convincing him that cultivators would attend the fair.
• Tan Jinqiu agreed to organize the fair within a month, and Luo Hong handed him five Void Escaping Pearls.

Luo Hong received a warm welcome after offering Tan Jinqiu Void Escaping Pearls, while Yue Duxing discussed the Flowing Fire Sect’s plan with Zhu Hao. At an underground trade fair, Luan Ni confronted Mu Yan Hong before an eagle-masked man revealed Bone Burning Insects and threatened the gathered cultivators.

• Tan Jinqiu accepted Luo Hong’s Void Escaping Pearls and ordered the Mahayana Cultivators to offer him a seat and tea.
• Zhu Hao questioned Yue Duxing about the plan, and Yue Duxing said everything was proceeding smoothly as they awaited the Secret Realm’s opening.
• Gu Wuhen and Luan Ni entered the underground trade fair, where Luan Ni confronted Mu Yan Hong over her attention toward Elder Mo.
• Mu Yan Hong teased Luan Ni and warned her to consider whether Elder Mo had truly saved her out of devotion or merely in passing.
• An eagle-masked man announced that the trade fair was postponed and threatened the protesting cultivators with Bone Burning Insects.
• Luan Ni said Ice Condensing Fragrance could restrain the insects and demanded an explanation for the change in plans.

Mu Yan Hong and the other True Immortals learned that a major Trade Fair at the Heaven-Connecting Tower would offer Void Escaping Pearls, while she suspected Mo Bufan was behind it. Meanwhile, Tan Jinqiu met with Heavy Water Sect elders, who offered him Carefree Water to help capture the Void Escaping Pavilion Master.

• The eagle-faced man revealed that the Heaven-Connecting Tower was holding a major Underground Trade Fair featuring Void Escaping Pearls, and Mu Yan Hong agreed to go with Gu Wuhen and Luan Ni.

• Tan Jinqiu met secretly with Luo Chaofeng and two other Heavy Water Sect elders, who sought his help capturing the Void Escaping Pavilion Master.
• Tan Jinqiu demanded the secrets behind Luo Hong’s Space Immortal Artifacts in exchange for handing him over.
• Luo Chaofeng gave Tan Jinqiu Carefree Water and warned him not to let greed endanger their plan.

Luo Hong and Mu Yan Hong attended the Underground Trade Fair, where Luo secretly used his miniature Teleportation Array to trade Void Escaping Pearls for valuable materials and Immortal Yuan Stones. After twelve pearls were traded, the fair switched to other materials, and Luo concluded he had gained enough to refine the Sky Breaking Spear into a High-grade Immortal Artifact.

• Gu Wuhen and Liu Changlin discussed the crowded trade fair while Luan Ni watched Mu Yan Hong and grew angry when Luo Hong sat beside her.
• Tan Jinqiu explained the trade rules, and Mu Yan Hong exchanged three Earth Spirit Pills for the blue-robed cultivators' Blazing Fire Jade.
• Luo Hong secretly transported a Void Escaping Pearl onto the high platform and arranged for buyers to trade Spatial Materials and Immortal Yuan Stones for the pearls.
• Mu Yan Hong questioned Luo Hong about the division of Huanglan Continent, and he said maintaining the status quo was best.
• After twelve Void Escaping Pearls were traded, Tan Jinqiu changed the requirements to high-grade Five Elements law materials and forty Immortal Yuan Stones.
• Luo Hong told Silver Fairy that the materials he had obtained were sufficient to refine the Sky Breaking Spear into a High-grade Immortal Artifact.

After the Trade Fair, Luo Hong arranged for Mu Yan Hong to confirm that he had returned to base early, while Tan Jinqiu plotted to poison and rob the supposed True Man of the Eastern Wasteland. The figure was a Time Illusion Body of Luo Hong, who used the Little Black Ball to swallow Tan Jinqiu and revealed the Heavy Water Lightning Pearl.

• Luo Hong calculated that the Trade Fair had earned him more than selling Void Escaping Pearls alone and realized that organizing a platform brought greater profits.
• After the Trade Fair ended, Luo Hong asked Mu Yan Hong to say that he had returned to base with her, and she questioned whether his arrangements would affect the Conflict of Water and Fire.
• Tan Jinqiu learned the Trade Fair had earned 1,880 Immortal Yuan Stones and decided to poison the True Man of the Eastern Wasteland with Carefree Water to seize his secret.
• Tan Jinqiu served poisoned Northern Cold Immortal Wine to the Iron Mask Cultivator, who drank it and revealed himself as a Time Illusion Body of Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong activated the Three Yuan Life-Returning Art, and the Little Black Ball swallowed Tan Jinqiu, his Nascent Soul, and his possessions.
• After the illusion dispersed, the Immortal Yuan Stone on the table became the Heavy Water Lightning Pearl.

Luo Hong collected Primordial Qi after killing Tan Jinqiu and prepared for the Water-Fire Secret Realm, where he entered alone after suspecting that joining Mu Yan Hong’s group could draw him into a scheme. The chapter ended as powerful spatial pressure disrupted his attempt to teleport.

• Luo Hong explained that the explosion had killed Tan Jinqiu and that he intended to make the Northern Cold Immortal Palace blame the Heavy Water Sect.
• Luo Hong stored the Primordial Qi, kept the Carefree Water essence, and spent ten days refining the Sky Breaking Spear with Silver Fairy.
• At the Secret Realm entrance, Mu Yan Hong warned Luo Hong that Huang Wanheng might target him and that Luo Chaofeng’s group could exploit any delay.
• The Eastern and Western Wasteland cultivators entered separate vortices, while Luo Hong followed Huang Wanheng’s group into the white vortex.
• After arriving in a cold domain, Luo Hong chose not to regroup and tried to teleport away, but powerful spatial pressure stopped him.

Luo Hong joined Huang Wanheng’s group and learned that Mu Yan Hong had likely led him into danger, so he prepared an emergency escape while crossing the Ice Abyss Mountain Range. Huang Wanheng then proposed using Luo Hong and two other cultivators as Yang Qi bait to lure a Snow Charm Demon for its Cold Pearl, leaving Luo Hong outwardly compliant but wary.

• Luo Hong sent a Time Illusion Body to hide in a cold pool as a last-resort escape, then flew to join Huang Wanheng and the others.
• Luo Hong asked Luan Ni about the sect elders and admitted he regretted trusting Mu Yan Hong; the group then set out across the restriction-filled Ice Abyss Mountain Range.
• After nearly a day of travel, Huang Wanheng stopped and offered the four elders a chance to obtain Profound True Pills by hunting a Snow Charm Demon.
• Luan Ni explained that the Snow Charm Demon had powerful ice-and-snow abilities and a formidable Charm Technique, while Huang Wanheng said it might contain a high-grade Cold Pearl.
• Huang Wanheng proposed using Luo Hong, Gu Wuhen, and another male cultivator as Yang Qi bait, and the elders agreed to hunt for one day without consulting the three cultivators.
• Gu Wuhen urged Luo Hong to endure the plan, and Luo Hong concealed his displeasure while remaining cautious.

Luo Hong let Huang Wanheng drug him with Heavenly Fox Dust, then used the Snow Charm Demon’s attack to locate and expose the demon’s true body. As the demon leapt over him, Huang Wanheng watched in confusion, unaware that Luo Hong had already broken its illusion.

• Elder Mi promised the three Early True Immortal elders rewards only if the group succeeded, and Luo Hong agreed to cooperate after the Law Enforcement Elder offered five hundred jade points to each of them.
• Huang Wanheng used Heavenly Fox Dust on Luo Hong to make him vulnerable to the Snow Charm Demon, while Luo Hong secretly realized the substance could help him use the Reverse Life Source Technique.
• Luo Chaofeng and two allies pursued the group, confident that Song Ming’s Soul Severing Wheel would ensure their victory.
• The Snow Charm Demon trapped Luo Hong in an illusion, but he broke free with his Illusory World Star Pupil and located the demon’s true body.
• The Snow Charm Demon charged at Luo Hong and leapt over him, leaving Huang Wanheng bewildered.

Luo Hong uncovered Mu Yan Hong’s scheme and insisted that she save Luan Ni while he protected Gu Wuhen when Heavy Water Sect attacked. As Luo Chaofeng’s group surrounded them, Mu Yan Hong escaped with Luan Ni, and Snow Charm Demon’s charge created an opening for Qiu Ke and the others to strike.

• Snow Charm Demon ambushed Huang Wanheng, hypnotized him with her golden eyes, and bound him while Qiu Chen and Qiu Ke hurried to intervene.
• Luo Hong confronted Mu Yan Hong about putting Luan Ni and Gu Wuhen in danger, and she admitted her plan involved Yue Duxing and an ambush by Luo Chaofeng’s side.
• Luo Hong ordered Mu Yan Hong to escape with Luan Ni while he stayed to protect Gu Wuhen, threatening to leave without her if she refused.
• Luo Chaofeng arrived with the Three-eyed Big Man and Iron Bucket Man, and revealed that he was Dao Master Song’s disciple while wielding the High-grade Immortal Artifact Soul Severing Wheel.
• Mu Yan Hong crushed a blue pearl and vanished with Luan Ni as Iron Bucket Man moved toward Luo Hong and Luo Chaofeng’s group prepared to attack the others.
• Snow Charm Demon abandoned Huang Wanheng and charged the Three-eyed Big Man, giving Qiu Ke and the other elders a chance to attack him together.
