• The Queen Mother, who had not actually departed, watched Chang'e go and ordered her maid to withdraw.

Su Yang emerged from seclusion after reaching the Immortal King Realm and drew three powerful rewards, including the Void Scripture, the Void Great Hand Seal, and the remains of an End of the Road-level Immortal Emperor. After concealing the true source of his advancement from Nuwa and Tongtian, he asked Tongtian about the plan to disrupt the West’s scripture journey.

• Su Yang used three lottery chances and obtained the Void Scripture, the Void Great Hand Seal, and an Immortal Emperor’s remains to guard him in danger.
• Nuwa and Tongtian sensed the hidden Emperor’s overwhelming aura, while the Ruthless Great Emperor questioned Su Yang’s rapid rise to the Immortal King Realm.
• Su Yang claimed he had recovered some of his former realm and suggested he had burned his cultivation to open a passage between worlds, leaving Nuwa and Tongtian to guess at his past strength.
• Su Yang asked whether Tongtian had completed his assignment, and Tongtian reported that Tang Xuanzang’s scripture journey had been changed and Zhunti and Jieyin would soon be unsettled.
• Su Yang recalled that Tongtian had secretly sealed the Great Power Heavenly Dragon technique deep within Tang Xuanzang’s soul, where only a Saint examining him could detect it.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Tongtian chose to consider severing his cultivation and asked whether Su Yang could help him find a new path to sainthood.

• Duan De and Black Emperor returned to the inn drunk, and Su Yang kicked Black Emperor outside after sensing danger.
• Su Yang scolded Duan De and warned that their reckless outings could leave them vulnerable to the Two Sages of the West.

• Xiao Jiu and Ji Ziyue emerged, and Su Yang noted that Ji Ziyue was nearing the Fifth Realm of the Dao Palace.
• Sect Master Tongtian asked Su Yang whether he could sever his cultivation and use Su Yang's method to return to sainthood, shocking everyone present.

• Sect Master Tongtian closed the inn doors and asked Su Yang whether he could enter the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao after severing his cultivation.
• Empress Nuwa and Su Yang warned Tongtian that losing his Saint position would leave him vulnerable to the Two Sages of the West.
• Su Yang cautioned that the Sacrificing Dao Method might not suit Tongtian and recommended the path of Three Corpses Dao Proving.
• Nuwa and Tongtian said Three Corpses Dao Proving was difficult, so Su Yang claimed Hongjun’s method was incomplete because it lacked the final step of merging the three corpses.
• Tongtian confirmed that he and his brothers had been unable to merge their three corpses, and said Hongjun had told them the time had not yet come.
• Su Yang asked how Hongjun had attained sainthood through the Three Corpses Method, and Tongtian began recounting Hongjun’s battle against Demon Ancestor Luohu.

Su Yang explained to Nuwa and Tongtian that Hongjun had concealed the true method of Three Corpses Dao Proving, which required defeating a fated enemy and taking their fortune. Nuwa and Tongtian considered abandoning their current Saint positions to pursue that path, but Su Yang identified the Two Sages of the West as their likely opponents, leaving them unsure how to proceed.

• Su Yang told Tongtian and Nuwa that Hongjun had entered the Three Corpses Sage Realm by defeating his fated enemy, Luohu.

• Su Yang suggested that the Two Sages of the West would be the most suitable opponents for Nuwa and Tongtian.
• Nuwa and Tongtian grew dispirited at the prospect of facing the Western Saints after severing their Saint Fruits, while Su Yang acknowledged he lacked a way to help them overcome the challenge.

Su Yang promised to seek help from Heavenly Emperor Ye and Desolate Heavenly Emperor so Sect Master Tongtian could pursue Three Corpses Dao Proving, while Empress Nuwa made a bold offer to become Su Yang’s Dao Companion. Three days later, Black Emperor and Duan De tried to sneak away to investigate an interesting place, and Footprint Emperor arrived looking for them.

• Su Yang told Empress Nuwa and Sect Master Tongtian to wait until Heavenly Emperor Ye and Desolate Heavenly Emperor emerged from seclusion, and Tongtian pledged the Four Swords of Zhu Xian in return for help.

• Sect Master Tongtian agreed to wait for the two Heavenly Emperors and left for Biyou Palace, while Nuwa stayed to question Su Yang about his secrets before retiring to her room.
• Three days later, Su Yang resumed his routine and wondered where to settle, then caught Black Emperor and Duan De sneaking out to see an interesting place.
• Footprint Emperor came through the inn door and told Black Emperor and Duan De he had been waiting outside for them.

• Black Emperor and Duan De tried to stop Footprint Emperor from telling Su Yang about their plans, but Footprint Emperor admitted they were heading to the Thirty-three Heavens to find a treasure.

• Nuwa and Ruthless Great Emperor joined Su Yang, while Ji Ziyue, Xiao Jiu, and Willow Deity also volunteered to accompany the group.

Su Yang, Duan De, and their powerful companions entered Great Luo Heaven and traveled to the Heavenly River in search of a hidden treasure. Duan De identified a spot beneath the river, though Su Yang and the others could sense nothing unusual there.

• Su Yang and his companions ascended to Great Luo Heaven, where Duan De led them toward the Heavenly River.
• The Jade Emperor saw the group in an ancient mirror and chose not to interfere because Empress Nuwa was with them.
• A powerful presence entered the Heavenly River's territory and froze the new marshal, who realized his troops were badly outmatched.

• Su Yang, Ruthless Great Emperor, and Nuwa searched the river with their divine senses but detected nothing unusual.

Su Yang and his companions found a buried ruin beneath the Heavenly River, where Empress Nuwa realized it might conceal a long-lost Supreme Treasure. Su Yang recognized the Demon Emperor’s Palace and suspected the Eastern Emperor Bell was inside, just as a surge of Chaos Aura and golden light erupted.

• Su Yang kicked Black Emperor into the Heavenly River, then led the others into its depths.
• Empress Nuwa split the Taiyin True Water and followed the group to a mysterious riverbed ruin she vaguely recognized.

• A surge of Chaos Aura burst out, and golden divine light flooded the Primordial World.

Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe confronted each other over the Eastern Emperor Bell, but Empress Nuwa’s arrival and the appearance of Lu Ya made the competition for the treasure more dangerous. Kunpeng urged Lu Ya to restore the demon race’s former glory, while the Bell remained unclaimed beneath the Heavenly River.

• Kunpeng challenged Ancestor Minghe’s claim to the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the two prepared to fight as they assessed Su Yang’s powerful group.

Su Yang watched as powerful figures gathered over the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Bell, including the Three Generations of Buddhas and the Jade Emperor. The arrival of Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao was followed by Sect Master Tongtian, leaving the gathered powers facing a new and formidable presence.

• The Three Generations of Buddhas arrived, and Ancestor Minghe and Demon Master Kunpeng questioned how Duobao and Dipamkara had joined Buddhism.

• The Eastern Emperor Bell sounded three times and appeared beyond Great Luo Heaven, drawing attacks from Quasi-Sages.

• Kong Xuan arrived and used his Five-colored Divine Light to sweep the gathered experts far from the bell.

The Ruthless Great Emperor confronted Kong Xuan and drove him away from the Eastern Emperor Bell, while Su Yang stayed back because he suspected hidden forces were waiting to seize it. Recognizing that his group lacked the strength to claim the bell, Su Yang began a Gold Prize Pool lottery for a powerful ally.

• Kong Xuan tried to seize the Eastern Emperor Bell, but the Ruthless Great Emperor blocked him with a sword strike and the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Pot.
• Kong Xuan lost his sword, watched the pot devour a Quasi-Saint, and transformed into his peacock form to fight the Ruthless Great Emperor.
• The Ruthless Great Emperor scattered Kong Xuan's Five-colored Divine Light and forced him to retreat repeatedly.
• Su Yang returned to the Heavenly River with Black Emperor, Duan De, and San Xiao, but refused to approach the bell because he suspected hidden observers.
