• After five days, a phantom with Jiang Chuan’s aura appeared behind him as his cultivation produced strange phenomena in the Five Organs Divine Palace.
• Two days later, Meng Nanxi called Jiang Chuan to Gong Yi’s meeting about the search for Creation in Fire Cloud Heaven.
• Gong Yi reported that the search had covered nearly 600,000 square kilometers without finding Creation beyond Huang Chongxiao’s sleeping place, then announced a risky plan devised following Fairy Chu’s suggestion.

Gong Yi proposed that Great Xia and the United States extract Transcendent Factors from the Pacific Ocean to reveal Fire Cloud Heaven’s hidden opportunities, prompting Cole O’Brien to support a joint attack on the demon beasts. The discussion was interrupted when Bai Fenghua confronted Jiang Chuan over refusing the Victoria Cross, and the two flew into the sky to fight.

• Gong Yi proposed extracting Transcendent Factors from the Pacific Ocean and using them to activate Fire Cloud Heaven’s hidden opportunities.
• Cole O’Brien endorsed a proactive campaign against the Pacific demon beasts and said he would seek his grandfather’s approval, while Li Wenbin revealed that Great Xia had devised the plan partly to address the growing demon-beast threat.

• Jiang Chuan pursued Bai Fenghua into the sky and began forming the Dragon Serpent Combined Attack Five Hundred Forms.

Jiang Chuan and Bai Fenghua fought as Bai unleashed Hanging Moon Mountain techniques and a High-Grade Dao Tool, while the gathered transcendent factors seemed to give Bai the advantage. As Bai prepared a world-shaking attack, Jiang Chuan revealed that the gathered power had benefited him instead.

• Jiang Chuan struck Bai Fenghua with the Dragon Serpent Combined Attack Five Hundred Forms, and Bai countered with the Dragon Wrestling Divine Fist before launching the Dragon Tiger Rotation Divine Technique.

• Qiuyue Bai and the others believed Bai was gathering enough transcendent factors to deliver a strike comparable to a Tenth Realm Void Immortal's attack.
• Bai declared that Jiang Chuan had lost and prepared to unleash his divine ability, but Jiang Chuan grinned and thanked him for gathering the transcendent factors.

Jiang Chuan broke Bai Fenghua’s Nine Yin Chaotic Heaven and Earth Great Array and set out to confront the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Feng Jiye arrived with the rewards for his African mission. Jiang Chuan found something unexpected in the treasure catalog and wondered whether it could be a legendary artifact.

• Feng Jiye met Jiang Chuan outside the Gate of Fire Cloud and handed him the catalog of rewards for his African mission.
• Jiang Chuan skimmed the catalog’s Dao Tools and stopped at an item that resembled something from ancient legends.

Jiang Chuan examined a list of treasures offered by the European and American Countries and learned that Queen Elizabeth hoped to move the Sun Never Sets to Maple Leaf Country and win Great Xia’s support. He asked Feng Jiye to watch for whoever exchanged for the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone so he could study it without spending his own military merits, then continued browsing the treasures.

• Jiang Chuan saw the Nine Heavens Immortal Stone, Five Elements Immortal Fruit, and Nether Bamboo in Feng Jiye’s folder and admired their value.

• Jiang Chuan asked Feng Jiye to watch for whoever exchanged for the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone so he could borrow it to study.

Jiang Chuan traded his military merits for treasures, then confronted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ended up losing most of his remaining Merit Points to debt repayment and compensation. Back at the hotel, he refined the Heavenly Phoenix Sacred Fruit until twenty-two golden dragons appeared, then went downstairs after Meng Nanxi said Minister Li had an announcement.

• Jiang Chuan chose to exchange his military merits for the Nine Heavens Immortal Stone, the Five Elements Immortal Fruit, and two Yin-Yang Dao Tools.
• Jiang Chuan went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanded ten million Merit Points from Bai Fenghua, and threatened to flatten the building.

• Jiang Chuan returned to the Hilton Hotel and consumed the Heavenly Phoenix Sacred Fruit, refining it until his blood qi formed twenty-two golden dragons.
• Meng Nanxi told Jiang Chuan that Minister Li had called everyone downstairs to announce something, and Jiang Chuan went to meet him.

Jiang Chuan agreed to comprehend the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone while strengthening himself by refining the Heavenly Phoenix Sacred Fruit. When a failed attempt to open the Calamity Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion shook Nandu City, he returned to the city and vowed to protect it from the factions seeking the cave mansion.

• Li Wenbin announced that cultivators sent on missions to Africa could use the unredeemed Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone, and Jiang Chuan volunteered to go first.
• Jiang Chuan refined the Heavenly Phoenix Sacred Fruit until twenty-four golden dragons circled him, greatly increasing his strength.
• Sun Yanfeng and Qu Shi told Jiang Chuan that Nandu City was shaking and that Duan Hong suspected someone was trying to open the Calamity Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion.
• Jiang Chuan, Sun Yanfeng, and Qu Shi returned to Nandu City, where a Public Security Bureau cultivator reported that Meng and Huang Rui had driven off and pursued the intruder.
• Jiang Chuan vowed to grow stronger and eliminate the forces threatening Nandu City, then returned to Northern Capital City and waited in Li Wenbin's car for the trip to the Ministry of National Defense.

Jiang Chuan visited the Ministry of National Defense to claim access to a strategic reserve vault and examine the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone. After sitting on the stone, he was transported into a vision whose scene was familiar to him.

• Li Wenbin told Jiang Chuan that Vice Premier Wang had approved a reward from the Strategic Level Two Reserve Secret Vault, pending the President's signature.
• Li Wenbin brought Jiang Chuan to the Ministry of National Defense and explained how increased Immortal Light and revived ancient sects had made the ministry busier.

• Li Wenbin shared his and Minister Gong's conjecture that the stone might create illusions to help cultivators understand the Dao or reveal an inheritance to exceptionally talented cultivators.
• Jiang Chuan sat cross-legged on the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone, felt as if he were sinking into icy water, and saw the room disappear into a familiar scene.

While comprehending the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone, Jiang Chuan was drawn into a Dao-rhyme illusion of Nandu City, where he discovered an absurd version of his life as a city lord with four wives. The women fought over him and tried to force him into Dual Cultivation, so he used Dragon Serpent Combined Attack Five Hundred Forms to try to shatter the illusion.

• Jiang Chuan realized the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone had created an illusion of the Immortal Realm, but he found no blade intent to comprehend.
• The illusion shifted to Nandu City, where Sun Yanfeng told Jiang Chuan his four wives were waiting for him and took him to the City Lord's Mansion.
• Meng Nanxi, Song Zhiyan, Song Zhiyi, and Qu Shi greeted Jiang Chuan as their husband and argued over who would Dual Cultivate with him.
• The four women began stripping and tearing at Jiang Chuan's clothes, ignoring his attempts to stop them.
• Jiang Chuan punched the floor and shouted Dragon Serpent Combined Attack Five Hundred Forms to shatter the illusion.

Jiang Chuan broke through three heart-dao visions, including one in which he destroyed Nandu City and another in which he slaughtered Jiangdong Province officials over a policy dispute. He qualified to comprehend the ancient immortal Heng Wuji’s Dao resonance and wondered what the promised supreme divine ability could do.

• Jiang Chuan saw a vision of Nandu City collapsing after his fist struck the loft floor.
• In a vision as Jiangdong Province’s governor, Jiang Chuan killed Wang Ming for opposing his plan to expand the City Defense Army.
• Jiang Chuan attacked the cultivators who tried to subdue him and pursued them with the Dragon Serpent Combined Attack.
• The sky cracked under Jiang Chuan’s attack, and the vision ended as Heng Wuji’s voice declared him qualified to learn a supreme divine ability.
• Jiang Chuan angrily rejected the visions’ portrayal of his desires, then considered the heart-dao laws and Heng Wuji’s claim about the ability.

Jiang Chuan comprehended the Heart Dao essence left by Heng Wuji and realized how A Single Thought Creates Ten Thousand Laws could evolve techniques to counter any opponent. He finished his secluded cultivation and left to seek a place to undergo Thunder Tribulation before fusing the Heart Dao into his Heavenly Dao.

• Gong Yi told Li Wenbin that Harold O'Brien would arrive in Northern Capital City the next day to discuss the Pacific Operations Plan, and asked him to review it for loopholes.
• Gong Yi informed Li Wenbin that Jiang Chuan had permission to enter the No. 2 Strategic Reserve Secret Vault, but Li Wenbin said Jiang Chuan was still cultivating with the Ancient Immortal Enlightenment Stone.
• Jiang Chuan realized Heng Wuji's A Single Thought Creates Ten Thousand Laws used the Heart Lake to identify flaws in divine abilities and evolve counters, though overwhelming strength could defeat such restraint.
• Jiang Chuan reasoned that fusing the Heart Dao into his Heavenly Dao could let him use Heavenly Dao to create ten thousand laws and strengthen Great Xia.
• After half a month of cultivation, Jiang Chuan left the room and decided to find a place to undergo Thunder Tribulation before attempting a breakthrough to the ninth realm.

Jiang Chuan learned that Great Xia and the United States were preparing the Fiji Campaign against the Pacific Ocean’s demonic beasts, then refined treasures containing Yin and Yang power to strengthen himself. As he cultivated, Feng Jiye arrived with a message that Fairy Chu wanted to see him.

• Li Wenbin told Jiang Chuan that Great Xia and the United States planned to attack the demonic beasts near the Fiji Islands and that the campaign would begin once preparations were complete.
• Jiang Chuan asked Li Wenbin to arrange a place for his Thunder Tribulation, then joined the others in reviewing the campaign’s projected enemy forces and potential interference from the North Sea Realm and the Myriad Beast Divine Cult.
• Jiang Chuan returned to his room and refined two Dao artifacts, Nine Essences Yang Jade, and a Great Yin Stone, absorbing their Power of Yin and Yang.
• Jiang Chuan used the Leaving Heaven Immortal Scripture to form a Taiji Diagram and channel Chaos Qi into himself, illuminating his body and strengthening his arm and divine palaces.
• Feng Jiye knocked on Jiang Chuan’s door and said Fairy Chu had sent him to find Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan learned that Drizzle Ancient Immortal sensed her true body approaching Earth Star, though no one knew when the ancient immortals and demon immortals would return or why they were fleeing the Immortal Realm. After resuming his cultivation, he gathered with the others for the Fiji Campaign and was summoned to meet Azure Martial King, the campaign’s commander-in-chief.

• Chu Wan'er asked Jiang Chuan whether he had found any Phoenix Race treasures or formations after killing Huang Chongxiao, and warned him to destroy any Dao Beacon he had obtained.
• Drizzle Ancient Immortal said she had briefly sensed her true body approaching Earth Star, but could no longer sense it and did not know why the immortals were returning.
• Feng Jiye told Jiang Chuan that President Sun Yixian had approved his entry into the No. 2 Strategic Reserve Secret Vault, though he would have to wait for Vice Premier Wang to return.
• Jiang Chuan cultivated overnight and reflected that he still lacked enough Power of Yin and Yang to open the remaining Divine Palaces.
• Jiang Chuan joined Zhao Zihao, Ji Heng, Xiang Taining, and the others as they prepared to depart for the Pacific Ocean campaign.
• Li Wenbin brought Jiang Chuan to meet Azure Martial King, the commander-in-chief of the Fiji Campaign.

Jiang Chuan met the Azure Martial King and learned about his intense, overclocked mind and the reasons he had been transferred from Great Xia’s political center. The Azure Martial King then asked Jiang Chuan to demonstrate his strength, leaving him puzzled by the King’s claim that the test would happen “here, yet it is not here.”

• Gao Kang told Jiang Chuan and Li Wenbin that the Azure Martial King was studying the sand table alone before the coming battle.
• Li Wenbin explained that the Azure Martial King’s Asperger’s Syndrome and overclocked brain made him hypersensitive and prone to extreme deductions, leading President Sun to transfer him rather than make him Great Xia’s president.
• Jiang Chuan said opponents obstructing a future president’s policies should die, prompting Li Wenbin to beg him not to bring disaster upon Great Xia.
• The Azure Martial King examined Jiang Chuan, praised his physical strength, and learned that Li Wenbin planned to use Jiang Chuan’s thunder tribulation against demonic beasts to save money on artillery shells.
• The Azure Martial King asked Jiang Chuan to demonstrate his strength, then stood and stepped forward after Jiang Chuan questioned how he could act in an ordinary Operations Room.

Jiang Chuan faced Azure Martial King's Dao of War battlefield and demonstrated his growing strength against its beasts and cultivators. He unleashed a powered-up slash against the Setting Sun Meteor Array, leaving its outcome unresolved.

• Azure Martial King transported Jiang Chuan to an Ancient Battlefield, where Jiang Chuan struck down the White Tiger and a horde of divine beasts and demon beasts.
• Gao Kang and Li Wenbin watched Jiang Chuan fight, and Gao Kang warned Li Wenbin that Jiang Chuan planned to challenge the Ministry of National Defense.
• A cultivator attacked Jiang Chuan from behind, but Jiang Chuan deflected the Flying Sword with the Purple Heaven Immortal Jade Sword.
