Zhou Xianyan used Iron Man-style armor and Li Bai’s sealed sword qi to win ten consecutive fights at the Da Hong Pao Mother Tree competition. After her armor drew protests, Li Bai entered the arena and challenged her.

Li Bai, Zhou Xianyan, and Mu Wanqing secured the transformed Da Hong Pao Mother Tree after their overwhelming victory at the arena match. As they carried it back to Purple Bamboo Academy, they discovered someone hiding nearby.

• Li Bai’s display of sword qi frightened the gathered Superpower Users and convinced rival factions that Purple Bamboo Academy’s students were too strong to challenge.
• Zhou Xianyan called for the arena match to end, and the Resident Happiness Living Department awarded the Da Hong Pao Mother Tree to Purple Bamboo Academy and ordered everyone else to withdraw.
• Mu Wanqing sensed excitement and vast age from the tree as its transformation ended, leaving it shrunk to about one and a half meters tall and seemingly ordinary.
• Li Bai, Zhou Xianyan, and Mu Wanqing dug up the tree and its long roots, finding dense spiritual energy and lingering Dao Rhyme in the surrounding soil.
• The three set off for Purple Bamboo Academy with the tree, then stopped when Li Bai spotted someone hiding beneath a large tree and struck with his sword.

Lin Fan recognized that it was transforming into an Enlightenment Tea Tree, a rare treasure that could help cultivators comprehend the Dao, though it still needed time to mature.

• Li Bai severed Lime’s arm and killed him after the vines trapped him, while Lime realized too late that Divine Sense could detect his Invisibility.

• Lin Fan rewarded Li Bai, Zhou Xianyan, and Mu Wanqing with permission to choose a secret technique from the library’s third floor, then concluded the tree needed time to mature.

Qi Zi prepared to represent Qi Zixiao in the First Sequence Battle, and she explained that the contest’s victor would earn a token granting entry to the dangerous Myriad Realms Abyss. After learning how deadly and uncertain the competition was, Qi Zi wondered whether he should refuse to go.

• A man decided Earth’s rare treasures had to remain in his hands and privately sought Old Chen to discuss preparing for future conflict.

• Qi Zixiao described the Abyss’s dangers and its strict age limit, and Qi Zi questioned the lack of mortality statistics before asking whether they should skip the battle.

Qi Zi and Qi Zixiao learned that no one from the Cultivation World had returned from the Myriad Realms Abyss, but Heaven's Will supported the First Sequence contest and the abyss seemed to hold a great opportunity. They decided to enter after defeating their opponents, then ended the discussion with Qi Zi teasing Qi Zixiao about making him noodles.

• Sister A'Wu told Qi Zi and Qi Zixiao that every cultivator sent to the Myriad Realms Abyss had failed to return, including Mo Daolin's true body.
• Sister A'Wu explained that Ages of Prosperity and the First Sequence contest recurred every hundred thousand years, and that Heaven's Will warned those who resisted the contest.

• Qi Zixiao's incarnation decided to go, and Qi Zi agreed that they would first defeat their opponents.
• Qi Zi teased Qi Zixiao by asking her to come downstairs and make him noodles, and Sister A'Wu misunderstood the innuendo as Qi Zixiao blushed.

Qi Zixiao made Qi Zi a bowl of noodles after he teased her, then Mo Daolin summoned them to explain the dangers and possible significance of the Myriad Realms Abyss. The chapter left the First Sequence Battle still ahead, with the abyss presented as a deadly place that might hold the answer to why no Emperor had emerged in their Cultivation World.

• Qi Zixiao made noodles for Qi Zi, who praised them and refused to share a bite so she would keep her confidence in cooking.
• Mo Daolin summoned Qi Zi to Purple Mansion Palace, where the Holy Son and Su Muxue were waiting.
• Su Muxue explained that the First Sequence sent seven people to the Myriad Realms Abyss every hundred thousand years and that no one had ever returned alive.
• Su Muxue told the Holy Son that he could withdraw, but that the abyss might contain great opportunities and that the Holy Land could make him an Avatar if his true body died.

Qi Zi and the Holy Son received instructions about the dangers and importance of the Myriad Realms Abyss before their First Sequence Battle, while learning that Fan Jianqiang had forfeited the contest. After asking Mo Daolin about Planting Oneself as a Seed, Qi Zi prepared for the battle and accepted that Qi Zixiao would pursue the dangerous journey.

• Su Muxue told Qi Zi and the Holy Son to prioritize survival in the Myriad Realms Abyss and gather information if they entered it.
• Qi Zi asked why Fan Jianqiang had not been summoned, and Su Muxue explained that he had refused to participate in the Contention of the First Sequence.

• Qi Zi reflected on the book's effects on other cultivators and decided to prepare for the battle, trusting Qi Zixiao to pursue the dangerous Abyss as she wished.

Qi Zi prepared to pursue the qualifications for the First Sequence Battle as the cultivation world’s Holy Lands made preparations for the contest.

• Snow Maiden declared that she could not lose and told Qi Zi to watch as she prepared to use her ultimate move against him.

Snow Maiden trapped the Holy Son in an ice cage and wounded him, but he used his greater speed to defeat her. He then challenged Shi Tiesheng to fight, insisting they would have faced each other first even if they had drawn lots.

• The Holy Son struck Snow Maiden, only for her body to break apart into ice as her formation and Frost Clones enclosed him in a cage.
• Snow Maiden ambushed the Holy Son from within the cage and cut his cheek, prompting him to acknowledge her skill and prepare to fight seriously.

• The Holy Son immediately challenged Shi Tiesheng, who pointed out that they had not drawn lots.

Qi Zi'Fan faced the arrogant Holy Son in the Heaven's Chosen Assembly and outdid him at his own game by showing off with the Three Rounds of Merit Golden Ring. The Holy Son, furious that Qi Zixiao refused to turn around, declared he would turn her around himself, and the fight was about to begin.

• The Holy Son defeated Shi Tiesheng quickly, and Shi Tiesheng told Qi Zi'Fan he had failed to wear him down.
• Qi Zi'Fan boarded the Floating Island and refused the Holy Son's offer to recover before their match.

• The Holy Son demanded that Qi Zi'Fan turn around, then said he would turn her around himself when Qi Zi'Fan refused.

• The Holy Son activated the Ten Thousand Stars Art and attacked Qi Zi'Fan from behind at near-teleporting speed.
• Qi Zi'Fan's golden-and-purple shield appeared behind him and effortlessly blocked the Holy Son's punch.

Qi Zi fought the Holy Son, whose astonishing speed kept him on the defensive until Qi Zi’s hidden formation slowed him down. The Holy Son realized Qi Zi had used a modern magnetic-field formation, leaving the battle poised for a new turn.

• The Holy Son attacked at extreme speed while Qi Zi focused on blocking and searched for a chance to spring his plan.
• Su Muxue, Jiu Wu, Purple Bamboo True Person, Wu Lian, and Mo Daolin discussed the Holy Son’s progress with the Word Secret as they watched the fight.

• The Holy Son’s speed faltered inside the formation, and Qi Zi explained that he and Qi Zixiao had prepared a modern speed-restricting formation with Old Chen and the Resident Happiness Living Department.

Qi Zixiao trapped the Holy Son with a hidden magnetic formation and prepared to attack him with the Artificial Sun Fist and the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique. When she asked Mo Daolin to protect the Holy Son from accidentally lethal blows, he took it as humiliation and charged into battle.

• The Holy Son realized the formation had equalized his speed with Qi Zixiao’s, while she gathered golden light for the Artificial Sun Fist and called lightning onto her sword.
• Ji Chutong recognized the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique and suspected Qi Zixiao had been disguising herself as Lin Fan; Zou Hu and the Saintess Squad also reacted to the livestream.

• The Holy Son panicked at the combined techniques and his lost speed advantage, while Qi Zixiao asked Mo Daolin to protect him in case her attacks proved lethal.
• The Holy Son interpreted Qi Zixiao’s request as an insult, roared at her, and vanished in a burst of starlight to attack.

Qi Zixiao trapped the Holy Son between the exploding Artificial Sun Fist and the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique, leaving him unable to teleport and near defeat. The Holy Son refused Mo Daolin’s rescue and met the thunder dragon head-on, shattering it as the explosion’s force began to fade.

• The elders gave Qi Zixiao treasures, pills, Talismans, and advice, and Su Muxue reminded her to leave behind the Sky Gazing Mirror.

Qi Zi and Qi Zixiao prepared to enter the Myriad Realms Abyss, a place everyone feared as a certain death trap, and promised to find or wait for each other if their connection between worlds was severed.
