Lin Yuan used the Door of Myriad Worlds to descend into a new world as a newborn in the Zhang family. His father revealed the family was under attack and sent Lin Yuan and his mother into a tunnel to escape, leaving his fate unresolved.

• Lin Yuan prepared for Consciousness Descent, entered a military-grade Nutrient Cabin, and activated the Door of Myriad Worlds.
• Lin Yuan was born as the son of Zhang Kun and Su Yun at Zhang Family Fortress, where he learned the Myriad Demons Sect was drawing near.

• Zhang Kun pushed Su Yun and Lin Yuan into the tunnel while he remained behind.

After Su Yun left him in hiding, Lin Yuan survived the wilderness by comprehending techniques that concealed his presence and slowed his body's needs.

After ten years on Dragon Tiger Mountain, Lin Yuan secretly reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and learned that the Celestial Master Manor had not produced a Celestial Master for five hundred years. Taoist Priest Pingyang hinted that the upcoming Sword Graveyard expedition could benefit Lin Yuan, leaving him curious about its significance.

• Lin Yuan reviewed his progress, noting that he had reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in secret and still had seventy years of residency remaining.
• Lin Yuan returned to the Taoist Academy and saw Taoist Priest Pingyang speaking with the young Taoist Acolytes.
• Taoist Priest Pingyang explained that the Celestial Master Manor had produced thirty-six Celestial Masters but had gone five hundred years without another.
• Lin Yuan considered how Celestial Masters surpassed the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and wondered whether a shortcut could help him break through.
• Taoist Priest Pingyang told Lin Yuan to perform well in the Sword Graveyard expedition scheduled for half a month later, and Lin Yuan thanked him.

Lin Yuan entered the Sword Graveyard expedition and used his advanced sword-sensing art to draw out the True Martial Sword. His emergence as the first person in five hundred years to be chosen by the sword left Celestial Master Manor celebrating the return of a Celestial Master.

• Azure Lord worried that no disciple would be chosen by the True Martial Sword during the upcoming expedition.
• Lin Yuan and the other Taoist Acolytes received the Sword Intent Induction Art and entered the Sword Graveyard to seek swords.

• Lin Yuan drew a worn sword engraved with “True Martial,” causing the swords and Dragon Tiger Mountain to tremble.
• The Taoist Acolytes knelt before Lin Yuan, the First Grade True Men bowed, and Azure Lord wept at the return of True Martial after five hundred years.

Lin Yuan claimed the True Martial Sword and learned that its Taiyin and Taiyang powers revealed a path beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. After deciding to rebuild his breakthrough on that foundation, he followed Azure Lord toward the True Martial Dao Repository to study the past Celestial Masters' records.

• Lin Yuan took the True Martial Sword from the Sword Graveyard and was named Celestial Master Manor's future Celestial Master by Azure Lord.
• Azure Lord brought Lin Yuan and four Taoist acolytes to a mountaintop residence and warned them not to wander at night.
• Lin Yuan probed the True Martial Sword with his True Force and witnessed its Taiyin and Taiyang powers, deepening his understanding of the Yin Yang Path.
• Lin Yuan realized the sword had enabled past Celestial Masters to surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and decided to transform his cultivation before breaking through again.
• Azure Lord gathered the five acolytes and announced that he would take them to the True Martial Dao Repository, where past Celestial Masters had secluded themselves and left records of their cultivation.

Lin Yuan spent more than half a year studying the True Martial Dao Repository and converting his foundation into Taiyin Power and Taiyang Power. When Azure Lord discovered that he had cultivated both paths simultaneously, he warned that the opposing powers could kill him.

• Azure Lord instructed the Taoist acolytes to comprehend the Fire Pearl and Ice Pearl, while advising Lin Yuan to study the Celestial Masters' wall inscriptions instead.
• Lin Yuan remained in the repository for over half a year and used the stone walls to deepen his understanding of the Yin Yang Path while converting his True Force into Taiyin Power and Taiyang Power.
• Qingping admitted he had not yet grasped the Fire Pearl, and Lin Yuan demonstrated that he could control both Taiyin Power and Taiyang Power.
• Azure Lord inspected the acolytes' progress, then saw Lin Yuan wielding both powers and angrily warned him that cultivating both paths was a deadly mistake.
• Azure Lord explained that the Third Generation Celestial Master had died after drawing Taiyin Power into his body while already cultivating both yin and yang.

Azure Lord rebuked Lin Yuan for cultivating Taiyin Limitless and Sun Limitless together and offered to rebuild his foundation, but Lin Yuan refused and remained convinced that balancing the two powers was the right path. After Azure Lord left, Lin Yuan considered why the Third Generation Celestial Master’s failed attempt to merge yin and yang did not prove that his own cultivation would fail.

• Azure Lord confronted Lin Yuan for abandoning the established single-path methods despite the danger of damaging his foundation.
• Azure Lord offered to temper Lin Yuan’s body with True Qi for ten years so he could cultivate anew, at great cost to himself.
• Lin Yuan refused, citing his belief in balancing Taiyin and Sun and his reluctance to surrender control of his cultivation.
• Azure Lord accepted Lin Yuan’s decision and left the True Martial Dao Repository with the other Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.
• Lin Yuan reasoned that his Consciousness Descent body could risk failure without harming his true body and that the Third Generation Celestial Master had failed because he introduced Taiyin Power against a century of accumulated Taiyang Power.

Lin Yuan continued cultivating both Taiyin Limitless and Sun Limitless, drawing on the past Celestial Masters’ insights while resolving to surpass them. After Pingyang Daoist warned that fusing the opposing powers could kill him, Lin Yuan remained determined to attempt it.

• Qingping reassured Lin Yuan after Azure Lord rebuked him, and Lin Yuan returned to studying the Celestial Masters’ stone-wall insights.
• Lin Yuan resolved to surpass every Celestial Master and estimated he could advance both paths beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm within ten years.
• Changqing Daoist told Lin Yuan that his father had only wished for him to live happily and urged him not to regret his chosen path.
• Pingyang Zhenren warned Lin Yuan that transforming opposing yin and yang powers could make them repel and cause his body to explode.
• Lin Yuan explained that he planned to fuse Taiyin Limitless and Sun Limitless before breaking through again, and declared that he would attempt what the ancients had not dared.

Eight years after beginning his study of Taiyin Limitless and Sun Limitless, Lin Yuan remained at the Early Celestial Phenomenon Realm but neared a breakthrough through fusing their powers. As the Myriad Demons Sect’s resurgence threatened the realm and stirred his old grudge, Qingping came to find him on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

• Lin Yuan used the True Martial Sword and his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to balance and fuse Taiyin Power and Taiyang Power, bringing him close to a breakthrough.

• Lin Yuan recalled that the Myriad Demons Sect’s eight Helm Masters had massacred Zhang Family Fortress and killed his biological parents eighteen years earlier.
• Qingping found Lin Yuan on Dragon Tiger Mountain and greeted him as Shan Feng Shixiong.

Lin Yuan guided Qingping through a cultivation breakthrough, prompting Azure Lord and the other elders to realize that Lin Yuan’s insight and strength might be extraordinary. They still believed his cultivation of both Taiyin Limitless and Sun Limitless would prevent him from becoming a Celestial Master.

• Qingping told Lin Yuan that four Celestial Master Sword disciples were being sent down the mountain for experience, and Lin Yuan joked that he might go too before reassuring Qingping he would stay.
• Lin Yuan identified Qingping’s wavering state of mind as the obstacle to his Sun Limitless cultivation, and Qingping used the guidance to break through from Fourth Grade to Third Grade.

• Qingping reported his breakthrough to Azure Lord and credited Lin Yuan’s guidance, astonishing the elders with how easily Lin Yuan had helped him advance.
• Qingping said Lin Yuan felt as powerful as Azure Lord, leaving the elders to recognize Lin Yuan as an unprecedented genius while Azure Lord lamented that his cultivation path would keep him from becoming a Celestial Master.

As the Myriad Demons Sect prepared to attack Dragon Tiger Mountain, Lin Yuan continued comprehending Yin Yang Power and examined the unconscious Changqing Daoist. The Myriad Demons Sect Master revealed that he had advanced beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and believed he could defeat Celestial Master Manor unless it produced a Celestial Master.

• The Myriad Demons Sect assembled its forces and prepared to launch a decisive assault on Dragon Tiger Mountain, prompting Azure Lord to gather Celestial Phenomenon Realm allies at Celestial Master Manor.

• The Myriad Demons Sect Master dismissed his followers' concerns and revealed that he had taken half a step beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, claiming he could overwhelm Celestial Master Manor if it had no Celestial Master.

• The Myriad Demons Sect Master tried to flee by splitting into six demonic shadows, but Lin Yuan’s Taiji technique destroyed five shadows and reduced him to dust.
