• Li Zhengyi laughed at memories of his youth as tears ran down his face.

After visiting Bai Xiaoxiao, Lin Bai heard that the Central Sacred Nation was preparing for war and that the Divine Martial Nation could survive an invasion for no more than three years without outside help.

• A Ning warned Lin Bai that the Holy Maiden Jiuci’s status made it nearly impossible for her to leave Buddha's Fate Temple, but Zhao Tiedan vowed to keep pursuing her.
• Lin Bai asked Monk Jiufeng about the Holy Maiden Jiuci and learned little, then had to stop him from going after the person who loved her.

Bai Xiaoxiao explained that Divine Martial Nation faced severe disadvantages against the Central Sacred Nation in military equipment, powerful experts, and the threat of Spirit World forces descending. Lin Bai decided to seek a way to break through to the Dao Realm in the Celestial God Tomb, leaving Bai Xiaoxiao to hold the nation together for three years.

• Bai Xiaoxiao told Lin Bai that Divine Martial Nation lacked the Central Sacred Nation’s military equipment and powerful experts, and feared intervention from the Ancient Immortal Sect through Descent Mountain.
• Lin Bai considered his debts to Bai Xiaoxiao and Divine Martial Nation and resolved to act after a night of reflection.
• Bai Xiaoxiao prepared to attend morning court and asked Lin Bai to wait for her, but Lin Bai told her he planned to leave.
• Lin Bai announced he would enter the Celestial God Tomb to find resources and break through to the Dao Realm, despite Bai Xiaoxiao warning that few people ever escaped.
• Lin Bai asked Bai Xiaoxiao to keep Divine Martial Nation standing for three years and threatened to destroy the Barren Ancient Continent if he did not return and the nation had fallen.

• Lin Bai listened to Hong Su play the zither and confronted her about working in pleasure quarters.

Lin Bai told Zhao Yue he was going to the Celestial God Tomb to seek a way to separate her spirit soul from Ye Suxin’s and find a treasure to restore his mother’s body. He then visited Jian Ruohan, removed her mask, and comforted her despite her disfigurement from the Ice Jade Poison.

• Zhao Yue warned Lin Bai that separating her spirit soul from Ye Suxin’s might only be possible in the Spirit World, while Lin Bai said he would search for a solution in the Celestial God Tomb.
• Lin Bai told Zhao Yue he was leaving for the Celestial God Tomb to help protect the Divine Martial Nation and asked her to behave while he was gone.
• Lin Bai went to Jian Ruohan’s room and forced his way inside after she refused to see him.
• Lin Bai removed Jian Ruohan’s mask and saw how the Ice Jade Poison had left her face pale and ghostlike.
• Lin Bai embraced Jian Ruohan and reassured her that he would never betray her, and she wept tears that froze into ice crystals.

Lin Bai prepared to leave for the Celestial God Tomb, where he hoped to find a way to break through, rebuild his mother's body, and cure Jian Ruohan. Before departing, he arranged a meeting with the Savage Soul Society to seek support for the Divine Martial Nation, but insisted on speaking with its ancestors.

• Lin Bai discovered that Jian Ruohan's evolved poison was entangled with her Extreme Ice Sword Soul, and he promised to seek divine medicine in the Celestial God Tomb.
• After Lin Bai and his companions failed to find a cure, he decided his trip to the Celestial God Tomb was unavoidable and asked Lin Duo to contact the Savage Soul Society.
• Lin Duo sent Lan Ling to arrange a meeting, and three days later Lin Bai, Lin Duo, Lan Ling, Li Zhengyi, and Bai Xiaoxiao traveled to a secluded valley outside Lingnan Imperial City.
• Old Man Lone Boat arrived on an Azure Flood Dragon and questioned why Lin Bai wanted to meet the Savage Soul Society.
• Lin Bai said he would explain only after meeting the society's ancestors, telling Old Man Lone Boat that he was not qualified to decide the matter.

Lin Bai asked eight Dao Realm experts to protect the Divine Martial Nation while he traveled to the Celestial God Tomb, offering to open Descent Mountain to martial artists if he defeated the Central Sacred Nation. He proposed making Descent Mountain’s passage one-way to block Spirit World forces, and Old Man Lone Boat considered the plan promising.

• Old Man Lone Boat summoned seven other Dao Realm experts to meet Lin Bai in the valley.
• Lin Bai asked the elders and their forces to secretly protect the Divine Martial Nation during his three-to-five-year absence in the Celestial God Tomb.

• Lin Bai proposed altering Descent Mountain’s formation so people could travel from the Barren Ancient Continent to the Spirit World, but not return.
• Old Man Lone Boat said that turning the passage one-way would be a good solution.

Lin Bai tried to persuade the Savage Soul Society's Dao Realm experts to help him by promising to find a way to challenge the Central Sacred Nation and the Ancient Immortal Sect in the Celestial God Tomb. He convinced them that a Spirit Realm expert stood behind him, leaving them hopeful that he could restore their chance to ascend.

• Lin Bai argued that he would seek a way to oppose the Central Sacred Nation and the Ancient Immortal Sect in the Celestial God Tomb, then return to change the Barren Ancient Continent's balance of power.
• Lin Bai reminded the Dao Realm experts that the Savage Soul Society had originally sought to reclaim Descent Mountain and give the continent's warriors the right to ascend to the Spirit Realm.
• When the experts questioned whether they could trust him, Lin Bai recounted his rise and claimed that powers they could not covet and figures they could not fathom had supported him.
• Lin Bai showed the Dao Heart Ring, and the Dao Realm experts sensed that it was a recently forged treasure from the Spirit Realm.
• Lin Bai told the experts that a Spirit Realm expert stood behind him, while privately resolving to apologize to his master for using his reputation as a trump card.

Lin Bai negotiated with several Dao Realm experts for their protection of the Divine Martial Nation and his loved ones while he went to the Celestial God Tomb. The experts agreed to help for three years, leaving the pact’s continuation dependent on Lin Bai’s return and his promise to reopen Descent Mountain.

• The Dao Realm experts weighed whether to support Lin Bai, fearing retaliation from the Ancient Immortal Sect but hoping to reach the Spirit World.
• A shadowy figure asked what Lin Bai wanted from them, and Lin Bai requested protection for the Divine Martial Nation, his parents, relatives, and friends while he was away.
• After the experts objected to a five-year commitment, Lin Bai set the term at three years.
• Old Man Lone Boat announced that the experts would protect Lin Bai’s people for three years and asked him to open Descent Mountain to eligible martial artists if he returned and reclaimed it.

• Lin Bai asked the experts to leave their Voice Transmission Tokens so Emperor Xiao could contact them.

Lin Bai arranged the Divine Martial Nation’s defenses and said farewell before using his Qualification Token to enter the Celestial God Tomb for three years. The chapter ended with him vanishing into the sky as his companions watched.

• The Dao Realm experts departed, and Old Man Lone Boat reunited with his disciple Lin Duo, revealing their master-disciple relationship to Lin Bai.
• The Imperial Advisor explained that Old Man Lone Boat would stay in the Divine Martial Nation and help protect it, while Lone Boat asked Emperor Xiao for a residence near a deep lake.
• Li Zhengyi explained how Old Man Lone Boat had secretly trained Lin Duo in swordsmanship, and Lin Bai recognized Lone Boat as his grandmaster.
• Su Xianmei returned with the emerald-green gourd and told Lin Bai that the Central Sacred Nation was preparing for action and Ninth Ancestor had gone to the Spirit World.
• Lin Bai gave the gourd containing the Black Warriors and his Giant God Race clone to Bai Xiaoxiao to help defend the Divine Martial Nation.
• Lin Bai bid farewell to his companions, activated the Celestial God Tomb Qualification Token, and was teleported away.

• Lin Bai spent eighteen days being carried through the Dark Chaos World by the teleportation force before reaching a new world.
