• Li Xiuchang accompanied Chen Changsheng, Fakong, and Fahua through a Teleportation Array to the Pure Land Realm.

Li Xiuchang traded Buddhist goods for rare high-tier tobacco and learned that the Pure Land Temple might hold the Dream Entering Pill recipe, leaving him waiting for Hui Ren to find it.

• Chen Changsheng explained that Pure Land Realm farmers grew tobacco and traded it to temples for grain, while Buddhist Cultivators widely smoked spirit-plant tobacco.
• Fakong and Fahua brought Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng to Pure Land Temple and asked Hui Ren to host them while they prepared to mobilize monks against demons in the Dark Heaven Realm.

• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng wandered outside and watched young monks compete to blow tobacco smoke the farthest.

• Li Xiuchang disguised himself as a Pure Land monk and joined Chen Changsheng in attacking the Joyful Demonic Sect’s headquarters, killing its cultivators and collecting their souls before they fled through the passage.
• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng reached the frozen Lin Tian Realm, where Golden Horn killed a group of demonic cultivators that had attacked it.

• The Imperial Preceptor explained that a Joyful Demonic Sect elder had established the Yongzhi Dynasty for his cultivation-less son, and he guided Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng to the passage below.
• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng thanked the Imperial Preceptor and entered the passage to the next lower realm.

Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng explored a world with almost no spiritual energy, where Li Xiuchang intervened in a dispute over tribute and learned of a tyrannical emperor in Great Kun. He gave four martial artists talismans to help them kill the emperor and his successors, then introduced himself as the monk Yuanfu.

• Li Xiuchang learned from Chen Changsheng that this world's ascension requirement was around the Peak of the Third Layer of Qi Condensation and chose to explore before undergoing a tribulation.
• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng saw the Couple Baili attempt to rob the White Tiger Escort Agency's convoy and discovered that the old coachman was the renowned Thunder Hand Qiao Shan.
• Li Xiuchang stopped the fight by withstanding attacks from the Couple Baili, Qiao Shan, and an escort guard, then asked them about their world and its unusual places.
• Qiao Shan and the others told Li Xiuchang about Yellow Jade Spring, which was said to make people disappear during a spiritual energy revival, and begged him to help save Great Kun from its tyrannical emperor.
• Li Xiuchang questioned whether killing the emperor would improve the people's lives, then gave the four men incomplete talismans that could be assembled to kill up to three emperors.
• Li Xiuchang told the four that his Dharma name was Yuanfu.

Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng discovered that Yellow Jade Spring opened into an underground world, but Chen Changsheng’s clone did not return. Li Xiuchang ascended alone and, after easily passing the lightning tribulation, tried to capture the Inner Demon Tribulation; when that failed, he decided to add length to it instead.

• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng restored spiritual energy around Yellow Jade Spring, revealing a passage beneath its water.
• Chen Changsheng entered the passage first, but Li Xiuchang waited a week without seeing him return.
• Li Xiuchang put Golden Horn in his second Dantian space and ascended alone, passing the three lightning tribulations with ease.
• Li Xiuchang used his Second Nascent Soul to observe his Inner Demon Tribulation and found a black substance in his sea of consciousness.
• Li Xiuchang trapped some of the substance, but it dissipated when removed from his sea of consciousness and vanished when the tribulation ended.
• Li Xiuchang decided to add length to the Inner Demon Tribulation after failing to preserve it.

Li Xiuchang endured an unusually powerful Inner Demon Tribulation, breaking an illusion that forced him to choose between his senior brothers and the Immortal Dust Sect. After ascending through the Lin Tian Realm, he returned to the Demon Slave Realm and realized he had arrived in Imperial Soul Sect territory.

• Li Xiuchang strengthened the black substance in his sea of consciousness during the Inner Demon Tribulation until it conjured an illusion of the Immortal Dust Sect destroyed and his fellow disciples dead.
• Li Xiuchang rejected the illusion’s demand that he choose between his neighboring senior brothers and the sect, and the Second Nascent Soul helped him recognize the deception.
• Li Xiuchang broke the inner demon by resolving to grow stronger and mediate any future conflict, then gained a major boost to his soul and Spiritual Sense.
• Li Xiuchang ascended to the Lin Tian Realm and immediately ascended again to the Demon Slave Realm without another heavenly tribulation.
• Li Xiuchang recognized that the surrounding Soul Demonic Cultivators were in the territory of the Imperial Soul Sect, not the Magic Dust Sect.

Li Xiuchang escaped the Demon Slave Realm and reunited with Chen Changsheng and Mo Tu, who explained that Chen Changsheng’s avatar had discovered an underground world without spiritual energy or an Ascension Rule. After Mo Tu appointed Li Xiuchang Vice Sect Master of the Magic Dust Sect, Li Xiuchang entered seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

• Li Xiuchang fought through the demonic cultivators who surrounded him in the Demon Slave Realm, then escaped into Magic Dust Sect territory on Golden Horn.
• Li Xiuchang reunited with Chen Changsheng and ascended with him to the Dark Heaven Realm, where Mo Tu recognized that Chen Changsheng was using a different avatar.
• Chen Changsheng described the underground world beneath Yellow Jade Spring, where he found no spiritual energy or Ascension Rule and encountered creatures the group named Demonic Fiends.
• Chen Changsheng reported that Pure Land Realm monks had attacked the Joyful Demonic Sect and were preparing further assaults with help from his Teleportation Arrays.
• Mo Tu appointed Li Xiuchang Vice Sect Master of the Magic Dust Sect, and Li Xiuchang entered seclusion in a volcanic cultivation chamber to advance toward the Spirit Transformation Realm.
• Li Xiuchang used his two Nascent Souls to cultivate with fire-attributed spiritual energy and prepared to spend points upgrading his Vajra Dharma Image.

Li Xiuchang invested Length Value to reach Fifth Tier Peak Body Cultivator cultivation and Void Refinement-level Spiritual Sense, then began developing an edible talisman. After testing his first pill-talisman, Chen Changsheng confirmed it worked but warned that its power could kill low-level cultivators.

• Li Xiuchang added a thousand inches to his Vajra Dharma Image, reaching Organ Refining Great Accomplishment and raising his Spiritual Sense to the Void Refinement level.
• Li Xiuchang left cultivation to his twin Nascent Souls and experimented with high-concentration Heart Burning Grass Smoke Paste while practicing talisman-making.
• Li Xiuchang developed a pill-talisman that let its user control gales, and Chen Changsheng swallowed the experimental First Tier talisman despite Li Xiuchang's warning.
• Chen Changsheng demonstrated the pill-talisman's power, then explained that its leaking force could kill low-level cultivators and offered to help improve it.
• Chen Changsheng gave Li Xiuchang the Rainbow Soul Banner and more than a dozen Dream Entering Pills before leaving to capture demonic cultivators for further tests.

Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng perfected edible pill talismans through experiments, and Li Xiuchang chose to publish their method on the Preaching Ranking rather than sell the products. He then advanced his Talisman Dao to Tier 3, and his two Nascent Souls reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

• Li Xiuchang used a Dream Entering Pill to comprehend the Equalizer Dao for five days, then resumed pill-talisman research with Chen Changsheng.
• Li Xiuchang and Chen Changsheng tested and refined Gale Talisman pill talismans on demonic cultivators, eventually producing a stable version and improving its taste and appearance.
• Li Xiuchang decided to share the pill-talisman production method on the Preaching Ranking, and Chen Changsheng left with the surviving test subjects.
• Li Xiuchang strengthened the Yin souls in his Rainbow Soul Banner and continued studying the Talisman Dao.
• More than a month later, Li Xiuchang advanced his Talisman Dao to Tier 3 and raised his Length Value past five hundred.
• Several days afterward, Li Xiuchang's two Nascent Souls reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
