• Baili Yan sat behind the purple desk and began expounding the Dao, calming the cultivators and drawing them into his lecture.

At Baili Yan’s Dao Lecture Assembly, Xiao Jinhan prepared to exploit evidence linking Baili Yan to the Reincarnation Hall, while Ouyang Kuishan and seven Golden Immortals plotted a surprise attack. Luo Hong interrupted the lecture and challenged Baili Yan directly, leaving the gathered cultivators stunned as the two clashed.

• Xiao Jinhan learned that Luo Qinghai was coming and ordered his Immortal Palace cultivators to intervene when Ouyang Kuishan’s group acted, while refusing to bait Jiao Three.
• At White Jade Peak, Luo Hong noticed Ouyang Kuishan and seven Golden Immortals secretly coordinating an attack on Baili Yan during the lecture on decay tribulations.
• Luo Hong interrupted Baili Yan’s lecture and argued that cultivators should face decay tribulations with strength rather than hide from them.
• After Luo Qinghai mocked Luo Hong’s confidence, Luo Hong agreed that strength had to be measured and challenged Baili Yan to gauge him.
• Luo Hong transformed into Black Divine Thunder and charged Baili Yan, whose crimson flames met him in a violent clash above the assembly.

Luo Hong exposed Baili Yan as a Reincarnation Hall cultivator and fought him to claim the merit of his capture for the Black Mountain Immortal Palace. He defeated Baili Yan with Great Black Sky Thunder, but a sudden sword strike interrupted his attempt to seize Baili Yan’s nascent soul.

• Han Li noticed that Ouyang Kuishan and most of the other Golden Immortal Dao Masters were acting suspiciously, so he urged Qi Liang to retreat toward the Mountain Protecting Great Formation.

• Luo Hong reached for Baili Yan’s nascent soul, but a dazzling sword light slashed toward him from the side.

Luo Hong seized control of White Jade Peak’s protective formation, trapping Candle Dragon Dao’s cultivators inside while keeping Xiao Jinhan and the Immortal Palace Golden Immortals outside. As Bell Chime Mountain Range began to quake and its peaks rose, Ouyang Kuishan realized Luo Hong might have anticipated the upheaval and the Immortal Palace’s arrival.

• Luo Hong used Great Black Sky Thunder to overwhelm the golden lightning and seize control of White Jade Peak’s Mountain Protecting Great Formation, while his golden-eyed secret technique struck Elder Hu Yan’s primordial spirit.
• Yun Ni urged Elder Hu Yan to retrieve Candle Dragon Dao’s foundational treasures, but Elder Hu Yan hoped Baili Yan would resolve the crisis instead.
• Luo Hong’s altered formation kept Xiao Jinhan and the other Immortal Palace Golden Immortals outside, while Han Li and Qi Liang watched from beyond the barrier.
• The Bell Chime Mountain Range shook, and its peaks began rising around White Jade Peak as Ouyang Kuishan suspected Luo Hong had foreseen the change and the Immortal Palace’s arrival.

Xiao Jinhan learned that Luo Hong had defeated Baili Yan during the Dao exposition and chose to wait while the Immortal Palace attacked the formation. Beneath White Jade Peak, Baili Yan revealed his Candle Dragon form and fought Luo Hong, who overwhelmed his Karmic Fire Spiritual Domain with the Great Black Heaven Spiritual Domain.

• Qi Liang told Xiao Jinhan that Luo Hong had attacked Baili Yan and apparently defeated him, while Han Li pretended to be frightened.
• Xiao Jinhan ordered Lu Yue to keep attacking the formation without haste, hoping Luo Hong and Baili Yan would weaken each other.
• The Bell Chime Mountain Range erupted, and Baili Yan emerged as a colossal, black-flame-wreathed Candle Dragon with his own human face.
• Luo Hong summoned his Great Black Heaven Spiritual Domain, which pushed back Baili Yan's Karmic Fire Spiritual Domain despite Baili Yan's Peak Golden Immortal law cultivation.
• Baili Yan attacked with karmic fire, but Luo Hong's white dragon phantom swallowed it; Luo Hong then used Mustard Seed Sumeru to compress space and envelop Baili Yan with his Spiritual Domain.

Luo Hong trapped Baili Yan in the Great Black Heaven Spiritual Domain and used its power to rapidly weaken him, while Golden Spirit blocked Candle Dragon Dao’s attempts to interfere. As Baili Yan prepared to risk everything, Luo Qinghai moved to confront Golden Spirit, and Candle Dragon Dao struggled to activate its foundational treasure in time.

• Huan Long and the others attacked the Great Black Heaven Spiritual Domain, but Golden Spirit knocked away their immortal treasures and devoured Elder Hu Yan’s Crimson Phoenix Immortal Sword.

• Luo Hong struck Baili Yan with the Great Five Elements Reincarnation Fist, sealing more than ten immortal apertures and causing him to lose an entire Minor Realm.
• Elder Hu Yan asked Luo Qinghai for help, and Luo Qinghai flew out to seize Golden Spirit after she refused to let him pass.

Luo Hong captured Baili Yan and refused Xiao Jinhan’s demand to hand him over, even after Xiao Jinhan accused Baili Yan of belonging to the Reincarnation Hall. Luo Hong revealed that he was a Patrolling Immortal Envoy from Black Mountain Immortal Domain and claimed the merit for the capture, leaving Xiao Jinhan with little room to object.

• Xiao Jinhan broke through Luo Hong’s black jade barrier and rushed toward the battle, while Han Li chose to stay near Luo Hong and Qi Liang left.

• Luo Hong presented his Patrol Token and identified himself as a Patrolling Immortal Envoy from Black Mountain Immortal Domain.
• Luo Hong claimed the merit for capturing Baili Yan while offering Xiao Jinhan credit for providing the intelligence, then demanded his Patrol Token back.

• Xiao Jinhan tried to recruit Luo Qinghai with a share of the cross-domain merchant caravans, but Luo Qinghai refused to join the conflict and departed.
• Xiao Jinhan returned Luo Hong’s Patrol Token and left, while Luo Hong spared the Candle Dragon Dao and asked only for its cultivation art for the Time Law.

• Elder Hu Yan and Yun Ni left the Candle Dragon Dao and went to Han Li, intending to enlist him for their plans.
• Han Li said he planned to search for the missing Brother Qi, and Elder Hu Yan agreed to help him.

Han Li learned that Qi Liang had been captured by Tao Yu and decided to meet Tao Yu to secure his release. Luo Hong gave Han Li a Mysterious Sky Immortal Gourd and helped him plan to investigate the Golden Immortal connected to Han Li’s lost memories, while secretly preparing to pursue his own purpose.

• Elder Hu Yan invited Han Li to leave Candle Dragon Dao with him and Yun Ni, and said they would meet at the sect gates in three days.
• After Elder Hu Yan and the others left, Luo Hong revealed that he had secretly returned to Candle Dragon Dao and given Han Li the True Word Wheel Turning Scripture.
• Luo Hong told Han Li about the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, gave him a Mysterious Sky Immortal Gourd, and confirmed that Yuanhe Wuji Mountain had appeared during the attack on Qi Liang.
• Han Li learned that a Golden Immortal had attacked Qi Liang and agreed with Luo Hong to wait for more information before arranging to kill him.
• Elder Hu Yan reported that Tao Yu had captured Qi Liang and demanded ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones for his release, so Han Li agreed to meet Tao Yu and offer other items instead.
• Luo Hong watched Han Li prepare to meet Tao Yu and thought the encounter would help him accomplish his own purpose.

Tao Yu arranged to trade Qi Liang for ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, but Han Li recognized him as the enemy who had harmed him and called on his senior brother Luo Hong. Luo Hong killed Lu Yue, spared Elder Hu Yan’s group, and pointed them toward Jiao Three.

• Tao Yu agreed to exchange Qi Liang for ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones and recruited Lu Yue to accompany him to the meeting.
• Elder Hu Yan, Han Li, and their companions met Tao Yu’s group on a snowy field, where Tao Yu threatened to search Qi Liang’s soul if they could not explain his value.
• Crab Daoist reminded Han Li that Tao Yu had once injured him and sealed Crab Daoist and the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, so Han Li called for his senior brother Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong revealed himself, trapped Tao Yu’s group in the Great Black Heaven Spiritual Domain, and teleported Elder Hu Yan’s group and Lu Yue outside it.
• Luo Hong killed Lu Yue, then gave Elder Hu Yan a jade slip that would lead him to Jiao Three.

Han Li and Crab Daoist defeated Tao Yu, and Han captured an Azure Figure who had been hiding nearby. After parting from Elder Hu Yan’s group, Han revealed his Time Crystal to Luo Hong, who demonstrated an unfamiliar law.

• Tao Yu recognized Han Li and attacked with the Yuanhe Wuji Mountain and a black inkstone, but Crab Daoist ambushed him and Han Li struck him with Nirvana Transformation.
• Crab Daoist’s lightning sword destroyed Tao Yu’s armor and body, while Han Li captured the Azure Figure with a Chain of Spiritual Sense and collected Tao Yu’s treasures.

• Han showed Luo Hong a Time Crystal and explained how his strange treasure produced it, and Luo Hong revealed an unfamiliar law.

Luo Hong demonstrated Primordial Creation to Han Li, then arranged for them to leave the Northern Cold Immortal Domain together after the Nethercold Immortal Mansion. Back on Green Feather Island, Luo Hong appointed True Person Qingyu to manage the island before confronting Baili Yan about his resistance to having his karmic fire consumed.

• Luo Hong used Primordial Creation to make a second Time Crystal and explained the divine ability's restrictions to Han Li.
• Luo Hong proposed that Han Li leave the Northern Cold Immortal Domain with him after their trip to the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, and Han Li agreed.
• More than a year later, Han Li and Golden Spirit left Green Feather Island to cultivate on a remote island while Luo Hong returned to the island in Mo Bufan's appearance.

• Luo Hong visited Baili Yan in the Netherworld Grotto-heaven and said he would hand him over to the Black Mountain Immortal Palace after his karmic fire was devoured.

Luo Hong arranged cultivation resources for Little White, Ghost King, and Xue'er, then spent years studying and reforging the Time Flowing Array. He tested the completed array and raised its time acceleration from thirty-sixfold to seventy-fivefold by adding Lu Yue's Nascent Soul as its yin-array sacrifice.

• Baili Yan stopped resisting as Luo Hong let Little White absorb his karmic fire, and Luo Hong gave Xue'er a Time Crystal to accelerate her cultivation.
• Luo Hong planned a five-hundred-year seclusion and studied the Time Array from the Moonlight Secret Realm for ten years, discovering that its yin array consumed a Golden Immortal-level primordial spirit.
• Luo Hong built a new Time Flowing Array on a spatially compressed Spirit Island, using twelve Time Crystals and the Illusory World Star Pupil as its array eye.
• Luo Hong activated the yang array and measured its time acceleration at thirty-six times, then added Lu Yue's Nascent Soul to power the yin array.
• Luo Hong confirmed that the completed array accelerated time seventy-five times, exceeding his expectations.

Luo Hong met with Lu Yuqing, the reincarnated incarnation of the Wusheng Daoist, and explained that her rapidly awakening past-life memories threatened to erase her identity. He gave her a way to resist the reincarnation scheme and left her preparing to return after reaching the True Immortal Realm.

• Luo Hong shut down the Golden Sun Inverse Rain Array after noticing that its altered time flow had weakened and delayed an incoming message.
• Luo Hong dismissed True Person Qingyu and met Lu Yuqing, who had come secretly because she was increasingly resembling the woman in her dreams.
• Luo Hong revealed that Lu Yuqing's accelerating cultivation and awakening memories came from a reincarnation secret technique that would restore her past self at the cost of her own identity.
• Luo Hong gave Lu Yuqing the Bewildering Heaven Bell, a one-use immortal artifact that could weaken the influence of her past-life memories but would also cost her some law insights.
• Luo Hong warned that Lu Yuqing's first reincarnation restriction would arise after she reached the True Immortal Realm, and she asked him to ensure she would return to him then.

Luo Hong gathered leaders from Candle Dragon Dao, Azure Stream Palace, and the Fuling Sect on Green Feather Island to confirm the reward for guiding them to the immortal estate. Meanwhile, Xiao Jinhan arrived on Black Wind Island and decided to move toward Green Feather Island with Lu Jun and Lu Yuqing.

• Luo Hong returned to his cave abode and entered seclusion after sending Lu Yuqing away to face Wusheng Daoist's memories.

• Luo Hong and masked Han Li received Luo Qinghai, Ouyang Kuishan, Feng Tiandu, and their Golden Immortal entourages in a valley on Green Feather Island.
• Luo Hong asked the three sect leaders to reaffirm their promised rewards, and Feng Tiandu questioned why he seemed to need fewer than three entry quotas.

Luo Hong brought the Three Great Sects and the disguised Nanli Tribe to a hidden undersea cave near Red Moon Island, where he revealed the sealed entrance to the Nethercold Immortal Mansion. As the entrance opened, Xiao Jinhan found the passage, and four groups entered the mansion while his forces approached.

• Luo Hong waited for the Nanli Tribe cultivators, many of whom were Jiao Three and her subordinates in disguise, then teleported the assembled groups from Green Feather Island to an undersea cave.
• Luo Hong revealed the sealed blue entrance to the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, and the four parties set restrictions in the passage while the entrance formed over half a month.
• Luo Hong summoned Han Li and a black-robed figure, then directed them and himself toward their respective groups as the cultivators prepared to enter.
• Xiao Jinhan traced the mansion's aura to the area near Red Moon Island, learned that Lu Yuqing had disappeared, and ordered his people to stop searching for her and join him.
• Luo Hong released the seal as the entrance opened, and Feng Tiandu, Luo Qinghai, Ouyang Kuishan, and the Old Woman Nanli used their Nethercold Mountain River Diagrams to carry their groups into the mansion.

Luo Hong brought Lu Yuqing and their companions into the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, where Lu Yuqing began facing the memories of her past life. After helping her survive the first stage of her reincarnation tribulation, Luo Hong learned that she needed to go to Netherfrost Hall.

• The white cloud vapor from the formation artifacts killed several True Immortals in the undersea cavern, and Xiao Jinhan led twelve Immortal Palace cultivators into the Nethercold Immortal Mansion.
• Feng Tiandu entered the mansion with his group, while Luo Hong, Han Li, Mu Yan Hong, and Lu Yuqing arrived together in a blizzard tornado in the Netherfrost Realm.
• Luo Hong confirmed through Lu Yuqing that a mysterious person was watching the Northern Cold Immortal Palace group and concluded that Gongshu Jiu was still involved.
• Luo Hong removed the spatial restriction, triggering Lu Yuqing’s past-life memories, and she used the Bewildering Heaven Bell to resist being overwhelmed by them.
• Luo Hong calmed Lu Yuqing and gave her a new Bewildering Heaven Bell, then learned from her Black Jade Discus that she needed to go to Netherfrost Hall.

Luo Hong broke through Netherfrost Hall’s layered restrictions, while Han Li’s Green Stone Slab reacted to the final star barrier. Xiong Shan and Old Ancestor Cold Flame were exposed nearby, and Han Li asked that they be spared and sealed.

• Luo Hong led Han Li, Lu Yuqing, and Mu Yan Hong to Netherfrost Hall and began breaking its sea-linked restrictions with the Great Five Elements Zhenyuan Hand.
• Xiong Shan and Old Ancestor Cold Flame spotted the group and considered ambushing them, but changed their plans after recognizing Luo Hong’s strength.
• Han Li’s Green Stone Slab resonated with the final Starry Sky Light Barrier, and Luo Hong explained that the layered restrictions corresponded to past entrants.
• Mu Yan Hong’s flying swords forced Xiong Shan and Old Ancestor Cold Flame out of hiding, and Han Li recognized both men.
• Old Ancestor Cold Flame described how his group had entered an empty underwater cavern, and Han Li asked Luo Hong to punish the two lightly and seal them.

Luo Hong led Han Li, Mu Yan Hong, Lu Yuqing, Xiong Shan, and Old Ancestor Cold Flame into the Nether Cold Palace, where they faced a gravity-restricting staircase leading to a purple palace. As Xue Han and Ghost Cry Sect cultivators arrived in pursuit, the group began climbing, with Luo Hong helping Lu Yuqing by lifting her at his side.

• Luo Hong invited Xiong Shan and Old Ancestor Cold Flame to enter the Nether Cold Palace with the group after learning they had explored it before, and Han Li agreed to watch Old Ancestor Cold Flame for clues about the cultivation art.
• Luo Hong and the others emerged from the teleportation array on a stone platform facing a silver mountain and its Heaven-reaching Stone Steps, but they had to wait for the array's spatial confinement to end before leaving.
• Xue Han and Ghost Cry Sect cultivators arrived through the teleportation array, and several who tried to fly after the group fell under an anti-flight restriction.
• Han Li recognized Xue Han, while Old Ancestor Cold Flame and Xiong Shan activated body-tempering techniques and hurried up the steps to escape their pursuers.
• Luo Hong gave Mu Yan Hong the Earth Store Dharma Wheel, then lifted Lu Yuqing by the waist to ease the restriction's force as they climbed.

Luo Hong took the Beast Embryo Profound Origin Pill from Xue Han and planned to have Han Li refine its law power into the True Lightning Law. After reaching the summit, the group approached a purple gate tower that led into an illusion array, but Xiong Shan rushed inside before the others could stop him.

• Xue Han used a Giant Spirit Great Strength Talisman to speed up the silver stairs, then opened a Black Jade Box and prepared to swallow a Beast Embryo Profound Origin Pill.
• Luo Hong seized the pill from more than a hundred steps away, and Xiong Shan explained its bloodline and law-comprehension benefits.
• Luo Hong asked Han Li to refine the pill’s law power into the True Lightning Law, and Han Li agreed to try using materials and repeated attempts in the Moonlight Secret Realm.
• Luo Hong, Lu Yuqing, Han Li, and Mu Yan Hong reached the summit ahead of Old Ancestor Cold Flame and Xiong Shan, while Xue Han fell behind.
• Old Ancestor Cold Flame warned the group that the purple gate tower led into an illusion array that could separate them, but Xiong Shan rushed through it before the others could react.
