When the Pill Pavilion Internal Affairs Department questioned whether he qualified to obtain materials for higher-grade pills, he revealed that he had already refined Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills, leaving the elder to report the news for inspection.

• Yang Chan examined the spiritual materials and saw many rare ingredients, including supreme-grade materials he had previously known only from records.
• After Pavilion Master Bai Keyi and Alchemist Linghu completed their exchanges, Yang Chan submitted his list and asked to personally select materials marked with thick lines.
• An elder hesitated to approve the marked materials because some were reserved for alchemists capable of refining pills for the fourth through sixth blood transformations.
• Yang Chan produced qualified-quality Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills and said they proved he was eligible to exchange for the materials.
• The elder took the pills to the Supreme Elder and others for inspection while Yang Chan began selecting the spiritual materials.

Cui Tiansheng verified Yang Chan’s Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills and approved his request to exchange them for spiritual materials. Impressed by Yang Chan’s progress and mindful of the shifting factions in Tianxuan Holy Land, Cui Tiansheng sought to build ties with him while remaining neutral.

• A Pill Pavilion Internal Affairs elder brought Cui Tiansheng a bottle of Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills that Yang Chan had offered for exchange.
• Cui Tiansheng examined the pills and confirmed they were barely of qualified quality, concluding that Yang Chan had recently advanced his alchemy skills.
• Cui Tiansheng reconsidered his position in Tianxuan Holy Land’s factional struggle and chose to cultivate a connection with Yang Chan while maintaining neutrality.
• The elder showed Cui Tiansheng Yang Chan’s list of requested spiritual materials, and Cui Tiansheng approved the exchange in full.

Cui Tiansheng met Yang Chan to show goodwill after learning he could refine Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills, while Yang Chan remained cautious and focused on exchanging for Spiritual Materials. Cui Tiansheng let Yang Chan proceed without pressing him, intending to improve their relationship for the future.

Yang Chan stored the Spiritual Materials he had exchanged and learned that news of his qualified Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills had spread through Tianxuan Holy Land. Meanwhile, Baili Xi accepted that he had lost his chance to become the next Tianxuan Holy Master, and the chapter left him dispirited by news of Yang Chan’s latest alchemy breakthrough.

• Yang Chan returned to Yuanqing Courtyard with Han Bingyu and the others, stored the Spiritual Materials, and placed especially precious ones in the Mysterious Yin Hanging Beads for safekeeping and study.
• Word spread through Tianxuan Holy Land that Yang Chan could refine qualified Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills for the fourth through sixth blood transformations, prompting Supreme Elders and others to seek his services.
• Yang Chan had Han Bingyu tell those requesting pills that he was in seclusion and that they would have to queue, while he kept his existing stock for gradual exchange.
• Baili Xi learned from Baili Xun that the Tianxuan Saintess would become the next Tianxuan Holy Master, and Baili Xun accepted Shangguan Yutian’s arrangements and stopped backing his son’s schemes.
• Luo Hongguang told Baili Xi that Yang Chan had advanced enough to refine the Jade Bone Blood Transformation Pills, and Baili Xi responded with bitter self-mockery as he considered his own lost prospects.

The Tianxuan Holy Son accepted that he could no longer compete with the Tianxuan Saintess and prepared to focus on his Martial Cultivation. After Bai Keyi told Yang Chan that the Saintess could locate the reviving Hengyuan Divine Vein, Black Dragon urged him to pursue the chance to refine it, but Yang Chan stayed cautious, wary of both the danger and Black Dragon’s concealed motives.

• The Tianxuan Holy Son asked Luo Hongguang for news, learned the Saintess and her forces remained quiet, and advised him to prioritize Martial Cultivation ahead of the divine vein’s revival.
• Bai Keyi told Yang Chan that the Tianxuan Saintess had obtained a wisp of the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s aura and could sense its location when it revived, and he assigned Yang Chan to prepare cultivation pills for the coming upheaval.
• Yang Chan considered Black Dragon’s account of how the divine vein would become harder to refine as it recovered, but judged that pursuing it now would be too dangerous.
• Black Dragon pressed Yang Chan to seize the early opportunity and claimed he had learned more from his Inherited Memory, while Yang Chan suspected he was withholding information.
• Yang Chan calmly chose to wait for more information and kept secret methods ready to erase Black Dragon’s soul body if necessary.

Yang Chan spent over a year refining sect-assigned pills as conflict spread across the Taiyu Divine Continent over the anticipated revival of the Hengyuan Divine Vein. He broke through to the five blood changes realm and considered how reaching the Divine Aperture Realm before the vein fully revived could give him control of its rules, while Black Dragon also coveted the vein’s power.

• The Pill Pavilion assigned Yang Chan and other Pharmacists a large batch of pill-refining work, and they earned a share of the pills they produced.
• As the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s revival remained uncertain, major powers expanded their territories and clashed, while the Tianxuan Saintess stayed in seclusion and Black Dragon sensed no new revival.
• Yang Chan entered a concealed chamber with Black Dragon guarding him and used Potential Points to raise the Demon Dragon Blood Transformation Art from 49% to 50%.
• Yang Chan completed his fifth blood change and reached the five blood changes realm, widening the gap between his combat strength and Black Dragon’s.
• Black Dragon realized Yang Chan might reach the Divine Aperture Realm before the Hengyuan Divine Vein fully revived, potentially gaining its power of rules and an advantage in refining it.

Yang Chan completed his breakthrough to the fifth Blood-Changing Martial Saint Realm and planned to focus more on refining Green Lotus Spirit Blood Pills while continuing to cultivate and conceal his strength. After leaving seclusion, he went to relax in a hot bath, where Han Bingyu and the maidservants were waiting.

• Yang Chan saw that his fifth Blood-Changing breakthrough had increased his lifespan by twenty-five years and considered how future breakthroughs and the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Technique might extend it further.
• Yang Chan decided to devote more effort to refining Green Lotus Spirit Blood Pills to gain Potential Points and speed up his next breakthrough.
• The Black Dragon congratulated Yang Chan and asked about his plans, and Yang Chan said he would keep refining pills and cultivating as before.
• Yang Chan left seclusion after two days, noting that each Blood-Changing process took longer as his blood grew stronger.
• Yang Chan went to take a hot bath, where Han Bingyu and several maidservants were waiting to help him relax.

Yang Chan learned that the Tianxuan Saintess was preparing to break through to the Blood-Changing Martial Saint realm, likely with support from Shangguan Yutian and Pavilion Master Bai Keyi as part of her succession to the Tianxuan Holy Master. Black Dragon suspected the breakthrough was connected to the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s next revival, but Yang Chan chose to wait rather than risk joining the struggle for it.

• Han Bingyu told Yang Chan that the Tianxuan Saintess would attempt a breakthrough this month and that Supreme Elders had gathered at the Saintess Pavilion to guard her.
• Yang Chan inferred that Pavilion Master Bai Keyi and Shangguan Yutian had helped prepare the Saintess’s breakthrough, strengthening her prospects of becoming the next Tianxuan Holy Master.
• Han Bingyu said there was no other important news, then left Yang Chan’s study to continue her work.
• Black Dragon speculated that the Saintess’s breakthrough signaled the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s next revival and might require stronger martial cultivation to sense.
• Yang Chan told Black Dragon he would wait for news and would not personally risk intervening in the struggle over the Hengyuan Divine Vein.

The Tianxuan Saintess successfully broke through to the Blood-Changing Martial Saint realm, setting major changes in motion within the Tianxuan Holy Land. Later, the Hengyuan Divine Vein underwent its second revival, and Yang Chan sent out his soul to observe the divine power the Black Dragon was absorbing.

• The Tianxuan Saintess broke through to the Blood-Changing Martial Saint realm, and her success set the stage for her to replace Baili Xun as Holy Master.
• After consolidating her cultivation, the Tianxuan Saintess remained in seclusion as the Tianxuan Holy Land underwent changes and Yang Chan continued refining pills and cultivating.
• The Black Dragon announced that the Hengyuan Divine Vein had undergone its second revival, and Yang Chan sent his soul out to witness the divine power it was absorbing.

Yang Chan learned that divine power could transform his Essence Origin Upper Fetus into a divine aperture and began considering how to obtain more from the Hengyuan Divine Vein. As its revival spread upheaval across the Taiyu Divine Continent, the Lingyuan Imperial Dynasty fell, signaling that dynasties were at risk of being carved up by the great factions.

• Yang Chan absorbed a wisp of divine power into his Essence Origin Upper Fetus, and Black Dragon explained that enough divine power would transform it into a divine aperture and grant him Divine Sense.
• Yang Chan considered how the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s divine power might affect his Potential Points and recognized that seeking the vein could accelerate his cultivation.
• Supreme Elders and the Tianxuan Saintess left Tianxuan Holy Land to search for the revived Hengyuan Divine Vein as strange changes appeared across the Taiyu Divine Continent.
• Yang Chan learned from Han Bingyu’s intelligence that Heart Moon Palace, the Supreme Sect, and other factions had destroyed the Lingyuan Imperial Dynasty.
• Yang Chan concluded that the great factions were moving to divide up the dynasties and that the future of the remaining imperial families depended on whether they adapted to the upheaval.

Yang Chan decided to leave Tianxuan Holy Land to pursue Imperial National Fortune, which could greatly increase his Potential Points and accelerate his cultivation. After departing Xuanxu Grotto-heaven, he set out for the Great Zhou Dynasty as his first target.

• Yang Chan weighed the danger of searching for the revived Hengyuan Divine Vein and chose to remain in Tianxuan Holy Land, but became interested in harvesting Imperial National Fortune from threatened dynasties.
• Yang Chan decided to travel while the imperial dynasties' Imperial National Fortune remained available and entrusted Spiritual Medicine Tower's affairs to Han Bingyu.
• Han Bingyu urged Yang Chan to take an elder as a guard, but he said his friend from the Northern Plains would accompany him and stepped through the portal out of Xuanxu Grotto-heaven.
• Yang Chan emerged at the Summit of the Sacred Mountain and chose the Great Zhou Dynasty as his first destination.
• Yang Chan descended the Sacred Mountain at inner-refinement speed, concealing his Martial Cultivation from the guards.

Yang Chan watched the great holy lands assassinate Emperor Yang Yu and destroy Great Zhou’s Imperial National Fortune Golden Dragon, then absorbed the scattered National Fortune for Potential Points. He left White Jade Capital for a secluded cave to await the points’ refresh and plan his next stage of cultivation.

• Yang Chan returned to White Jade Capital and waited for the great holy lands to carry out their plan against Emperor Yang Yu.
• Three Blood-Changing Martial Saints attacked and killed Emperor Yang Yu in the imperial palace.
• The new Crown Prince Yang Yuan used the Dragon Slaying Divine Bow to shatter Great Zhou’s Imperial National Fortune Golden Dragon.
• Yang Chan absorbed as much scattered Imperial National Fortune as he could and sensed its connection to the Hengyuan Divine Vein.
• Yang Chan left White Jade Capital and traveled to a secluded cave dwelling to await the Potential Points refresh and plan his cultivation.

Yang Chan arrived in Lin'an City to wait for the Rising Sun Empire’s Imperial National Fortune Golden Dragon to shatter, hoping to harvest its power and gain Potential Points. After the five holy lands killed Ouyang Qingtian, the dragon shattered, and Yang Chan began gathering its fragments, finding that this harvest exceeded the one he had gained in White Jade Capital.

• Yang Chan discovered that his harvest from the Great Zhou Dynasty had given him 27,653 Potential Points, which he spent to accelerate his Demon Dragon Blood Transformation Art cultivation.
• Yang Chan reached Lin'an City and learned that five holy lands planned to attack the Rising Sun Empire and divide its territory.
• The five holy lands attacked Ouyang Qingtian, who fused with the Rising Sun Empire’s Imperial National Fortune Golden Dragon to strengthen himself.
• More Blood-Changing Martial Saints joined the fight, and Ouyang Qingtian fell, causing the Golden Dragon to shatter with him.
• Yang Chan hurried through Lin'an City to collect the scattered Imperial National Fortune and found that his harvest surpassed the one from White Jade Capital.

Yang Chan returned to Tianxuan Holy Land after a year of collecting Imperial National Fortune and advanced to eight blood transformations, but news of cross-realm powerhouses made him focus on cultivation and self-protection. Meanwhile, Xing Bo forced the Myriad Beasts Dao to submit and sent it searching for the Hengyuan Divine Vein.

• Yang Chan learned that the imperial dynasties had lost their Imperial National Fortune Golden Dragons and that the holy lands had failed to find the Hengyuan Divine Vein after its second revival.
• Yang Chan returned to Tianxuan Holy Land with eight blood transformations, having collected Imperial National Fortune across the continent, and resumed cultivating and refining pills.
• After hearing that Xing Bo, a powerhouse from the North Pivot Star Domain, had arrived, Yang Chan decided to avoid searching for the Hengyuan Divine Vein and improve his cultivation instead.
• Xing Bo broke through the Myriad Beasts Dao's grotto-heaven formation, defeated its Blood-Changing Martial Saints, and forced the Holy Lord and his followers to submit.
• Xing Bo gave the Myriad Beasts Dao Origin Vein Stones and ordered its disciples to search the Southern Wasteland for the Hengyuan Divine Vein.

The Lihuo Divine Race learned that a divine vein on the Taiyu Divine Continent might be reviving and decided to pursue it despite the danger posed by the North Pivot Divine Lord. The Lihuo Clan Leader sent word to five other divine races, which began gathering on Vermilion Bird Star to prepare for the journey.

• The Lihuo Divine Race discussed signs that the Taiyu Divine Continent’s divine vein was reviving and agreed to seek the opportunity together with other divine races.
• The Lihuo Clan Leader chose the clan’s Divine Son to contend for the divine vein and ordered Xu Yu to notify the Kanshui, Duize, Xunfeng, Zhenlei, and Genshan Divine Races.
• The Xunfeng Divine Race received the urgent message and decided to travel to Vermilion Bird Star after arranging its clan affairs.
• The Kanshui, Duize, Zhenlei, and Genshan Divine Races also brought their clansmen to Vermilion Bird Star, drawing the attention of other forces.

Yang Chan chose to remain in Tianxuan Holy Land and quietly raise his cultivation as unfamiliar star-born powers competed for the Hengyuan Divine Vein. Xing Bo grew furious over his failed search for the vein and the Seven Kill Demon Lord, while six Divine Race descendants in the Western Desert planned to pursue the vein’s next revival and challenge him.

• Yang Chan read Han Bingyu’s intelligence about artifact-wielding newcomers who had subdued forces in the Western Desert, then resolved to cultivate safely in Tianxuan Holy Land and refine pills to reach the ninth Blood-Changing level.
• Xing Bo learned that the newcomers in the Western Desert were descendants of those who had fled the Taiyu Divine Continent, and he blamed them for competing for the Hengyuan Divine Vein.
• The Saintess of Thunder Valley reported that Xing Bo’s forces had failed to locate the Seven Kill Demon Lord’s secret realm in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
• Xing Bo berated the Saintess of Thunder Valley and the Myriad Beasts Dao Saintess, then ordered them to help satisfy his anger.
• Six Divine Race descendants in the Tianfeng Dynasty’s imperial palace discussed Xing Bo and agreed to wait for the Hengyuan Divine Vein’s third revival so they could find and seize it before the North Pivot Divine Lord did.
• The six Divine Race descendants planned to search for dispersed divine power and use it to strengthen themselves and possibly restore their Divine Aperture Realm cultivation.

Tianxuan Holy Land and the other great factions prepared to resist starry-sky powerhouses while pursuing the Hengyuan Divine Vein. Ancient powerhouses then emerged from ruins across the Taiyu Divine Continent, intensifying the struggle and forcing the holy lands to regroup.

• The divine-clan youths agreed to act cautiously and first subdue the forces in the Western Desert.
• Baili Xun reported that Xing Bo had taken control of the Southern Wasteland and that six divine-clan youths were seeking control of the Western Desert; Tianxuan Holy Land had allied with other factions to resist them.
• Shangguan Yutian announced that he would enter seclusion to strengthen his cultivation, and he urged Tianxuan Holy Land to prepare to fight the starry-sky powerhouses.
• A Golden Man emerged from an ancient ruin, resolved to recover his strength and seize the Hengyuan Divine Vein before his ancient rivals.
• More ancient powerhouses appeared across the continent and clashed with the starry-sky arrivals, while Tianxuan Holy Land and other holy lands moved closer together to avoid being defeated separately.
