Later, his fellow disciples celebrated his breakthrough to the Dao Integration Stage, leaving him wondering whether surviving the heavenly tribulation would force him to ascend to the Upper Realm.

• Chu Ya worried that his Emotionless Dao would eventually force him to choose between cultivation and his feelings for Ye Yuqiu, and Li Xiuchang and Song Yu could offer him no solution.

He then focused on reaching the Grand Preaching Ranking’s top six hundred to gain a steady supply of Anointing opportunities and advance his Dao.

• Steady refused to help Chen Changsheng, who began searching across worlds for Steady and Golden Horn.

• After learning the powerhouse had used a Great Seal and Seal Heaven Sect techniques, Li Xiuchang and the others decided to investigate his identity.

Li Xiuchang investigated the mysterious expert’s possible ties to the Seal Heaven Sect, but the clues did not identify him. The group decided to pursue divination and an inquiry within the sect, while Li Xiuchang enlarged a Longevity Pill to support Gui Wuyan’s divination.

• Li Xiuchang used the Ascension Pavilion and the Four Immortals Merchant Association to investigate missing Seal Heaven Sect experts, finding that many vanished while exploring the Immortal Shade.
• Li Xiuchang shared his findings with Lu Yang, Chen Changsheng, Mo Tu, Zhang Wanzhi, and Xia Siyun, and they considered capturing the mysterious expert, asking Gui Wuyan to divine, or investigating the Seal Heaven Sect.
• Zhang Wanzhi volunteered to negotiate with Gui Wuyan, while Chen Changsheng arranged for Ye Yuqiu to investigate the Seal Heaven Sect.
• Li Xiuchang used his Blood Diamond Clone to flatten and enlarge his Longevity Pill, then carved a piece into a pill for Gui Wuyan.
• Li Xiuchang wondered whether he should taste the Longevity Pill himself.

Li Xiuchang ate Longevity Pills to test how much lifespan his body could hold and learned from Senior Brother Lu Yang how immortals gained lifespan through Immortal Tribulations. After reaching his apparent lifespan limit, he discovered that excess vitality strengthened his body and soul, giving him a new way to improve his strength.

• Li Xiuchang swallowed Longevity Pill scraps and then large chunks, deciding that his abundant supply made learning Divination Arts less risky.
• Li Xiuchang asked Senior Brother Lu Yang about immortal lifespans, and Lu Yang explained the recurring Immortal Tribulations and why Senior Brother Gui Wuyan was running out of lifespan.

• Li Xiuchang kept eating after his lifespan seemed full and discovered that excess vitality transformed into energy that strengthened his body and soul.
• Li Xiuchang realized that consuming more Longevity Pills could raise his physical limits and found a new shortcut to increasing his strength.

Li Xiuchang consumed over thirty thousand Longevity Pills, strengthening his body and soul enough to break through to Seventh-Tier body cultivation. After checking his Preaching Ranking and publishing new body-cultivation lessons, he learned that efforts to investigate a mysterious person and contact the Seal Heaven Sect were underway, while Golden Horn and Steady remained at large.

• Li Xiuchang ate over thirty thousand Longevity Pills, greatly extending his lifespan and strengthening his body and soul until he developed an aversion to the pills.

• Li Xiuchang asked Senior Brother Chen Changsheng about the investigation, and Senior Brother Chen said the mysterious person remained unfound while Old Gui and Ye Yuqiu pursued other plans.
• Senior Brother Chen Changsheng said Golden Horn and Steady had evaded him, so Li Xiuchang decided to learn Divination Arts.

Li Xiuchang performed the Heaven Questioning Ritual to learn whether he could study Divination Arts. After all three Dao Ancestors intervened on his behalf, he gained the highest affinity and hurried back to await Senior Brother Gui so he could begin learning.

• Li Xiuchang learned that Divination Arts required passing the Heaven Questioning Ritual and decided to test his affinity before asking Senior Brother Gui to teach him.
• Li Xiuchang set up the ritual in the Dark Heaven Realm with lavish offerings to the Three Great Dao Ancestors and the Heavenly Dao.
• The Heavenly Dao initially rejected Li Xiuchang, but Compassionate Masses Dao Ancestor intervened and raised his affinity to one stick.

• Li Xiuchang packed away the offerings and returned to the Eastern Geng District, eager to show Senior Brother Gui his talent and attempt his first divination.

Li Xiuchang dedicated an office at Danxiang Tower to the Three Great Dao Ancestors, then learned that Ye Yuqiu had traced the mysterious powerhouse to the missing Seal Heaven Sect elder Lou Yu. As his senior brothers prepared to capture Lou Yu, Gui Wuyan returned and restored his lifespan with Li Xiuchang’s Longevity Pill.

• Li Xiuchang enshrined the Three Great Dao Ancestors at Danxiang Tower and instructed Little Zhu to keep their offerings and incense supplied.

• Gui Wuyan returned, revealed that he needed his lifespan replenished, and accepted the Longevity Pill Li Xiuchang offered him.
• Gui Wuyan swallowed the pill, regained black hair and more than a hundred years of lifespan, and appeared to recover his former confidence.

Gui Wuyan divined that Lou Yu was in the Seventh Layer World, where Shi Di had taken him, and then risked his life to uncover clues about Lou Yu. Li Xiuchang saved Gui Wuyan with a Longevity Pill, leaving the senior brothers and sisters wondering how he still had one.

• Gui Wuyan used tortoiseshell divination and, through the senior brothers’ guesses, revealed that the mysterious powerhouse was in the Seventh Layer World.
• Zhang Wanzhi contacted Shi Tian, who said Shi Di had taken Lou Yu and that he would ask around but needed their master’s permission.
• Li Xiuchang told the others about the little monk, and they suspected he was Shi Tian and Shi Di’s master and a powerful figure in the Seventh Layer World.
• Gui Wuyan began deducing Lou Yu’s experiences, used Chen Changsheng’s Basaltic Rock after his first attempt failed, and collapsed when his hair turned white.
• Li Xiuchang fed Gui Wuyan a Longevity Pill, restoring his hair and vitality, and the senior brothers and sisters asked how Li Xiuchang still had Longevity Pills.

Li Xiuchang saved Gui Wuyan from Heavenly Punishment by feeding him an enormous supply of Longevity Pills after Gui revealed a long essay of secrets. The group then studied Gui’s divination about Lou Yu, learning that Lou Yu came from the Immortal Shade Realm, entered another world, and escaped from it.

• Li Xiuchang claimed the Four Immortals Merchant Association had acquired a Longevity Pill, while Gui Wuyan calculated that revealing secrets about Lou Yu would cost thousands of years of lifespan.
• Zhang Wanzhi and Mo Tu tempted Gui Wuyan to exploit Heaven’s will again, and Gui agreed to reveal his secrets after using most of his remaining lifespan.

• Li Xiuchang fed Gui Wuyan handfuls of Longevity Pills, including brick-sized ones, restoring his life and giving him more than a thousand black hairs.
• Li Xiuchang and the others studied Gui Wuyan’s essay, which confirmed that Lou Yu came from the Immortal Shade Realm, entered another world, and escaped.

Senior Brother Gui’s divination revealed that the Sky-Piercing Immortal Tree stood in the Shadow World and that the Immortal Shade could pull people into it. As Li Xiuchang and the Senior Brothers debated the worlds’ connection, Chen Changsheng disclosed that they had once known a person who returned from the Immortal Shade profoundly changed.

• Senior Brother Gui’s calculations showed Lou Yu’s connection to a dark world he named the Shadow World, where the Sky-Piercing Immortal Tree had appeared.
• Senior Brother Gui explained that people could be pulled into the Shadow World through the Immortal Shade, while demon beasts and Wandering Corpses were also connected to it.
• Li Xiuchang learned that the Preaching Ranking and Ascension Pavilion were treasures forged by the Confucian Sage, and that the Heart-Questioning Sword had belonged to the Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor.
• Mo Tu, Lu Yang, Zhang Wanzhi, Chen Changsheng, and the others discussed whether the Immortal Shade’s expansion meant the two worlds were merging.
• Li Xiuchang asked why the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters cared about the Immortal Shade when they could evacuate to the Dark Heaven Realm.
• Chen Changsheng revealed that they had encountered people who escaped the Shadow World, including a close friend whose personality changed after returning.

Li Xiuchang learned that Wang Jingxing, Zhang Wanzhi’s longtime friend and an Immortal Dust Sect Grand Elder, had changed after entering the Immortal Shade Realm, likely because he had entered the Shadow World. The group revealed that other Grand Elders might have suffered the same fate and explained that they had been watching the sect’s outer grounds for a chance to find and save Wang, whose whereabouts remained unknown.

• Zhang Wanzhi recounted how Wang Jingxing’s behavior and memories changed after he returned from an expedition into the Immortal Shade Realm, and how the group confirmed he had not been possessed or replaced.
• Chen Changsheng explained that Wang’s condition was likely connected to the Shadow World and warned that other Grand Elders in the Immortal Dust Sect—and possibly the other great immortal sects—might have the same problem.
• Zhang Wanzhi told Li Xiuchang that Wang fled when the group confronted him, aided by two concealed Grand Elders who attacked them.
• Zhang Wanzhi said the Immortal Dust Sect later declared Wang dead, but Senior Brother Gui could neither confirm his death nor locate him, only divine a glimmer of hope connected to the sect’s outer grounds.
• Zhang Wanzhi and the others explained that they had disguised themselves as outer disciples to watch the Eastern Geng District, hoping to find Wang and uncover the truth.
• Xia Siyun and Lu Yang said they missed Wang and remembered how kind he had been to them.

Li Xiuchang discussed the search for Wang Jingxing with his senior brothers and learned why their leads had stalled. After revealing his extraordinary lifespan and aptitude for Divination Arts, he received Gui Wuyan’s complete inheritance and began practicing.

• Li Xiuchang asked how he could help save Wang Jingxing, and his senior brothers said he had already helped by growing quickly and uncovering new leads.
• Chen Changsheng explained that suspicious Grand Elders had entered the Immortal Shade and then secluded themselves, but the group could neither prove their guilt nor calculate whether they had entered the Shadow World.
• Li Xiuchang learned that the suspected Grand Elders had shown no conspicuously evil behavior, then claimed he had copied his Longevity Pills; Gui Wuyan used Divination Arts to say they had been bought through the Four Immortals Merchant Association.
• Li Xiuchang asked Gui Wuyan to teach him Divination Arts, and his senior brothers objected until he demonstrated a lifespan of two or three hundred thousand years and said all three incense sticks had burned during his Heaven Questioning Ritual.
• Gui Wuyan explained that high-level diviners could force glimpses of Heavenly Secrets at the cost of the Heavenly Dao’s goodwill and their own longevity, then gave Li Xiuchang the complete inheritance in a Jade Slip.
• Li Xiuchang quickly learned several basic divination methods from the Jade Slip and prepared to try them.

Li Xiuchang tried divination for the first time, but the Dao of Heaven turned his simple weather question into a costly revelation about the Confucian Sage. He survived the loss of more than one hundred thousand years of lifespan and concluded that the Sage would reincarnate and abandon the origin of the Confucian Path.

• Li Xiuchang used Yarrow Stalks to ask when it would rain, but the stalks arranged themselves too neatly to form a hexagram.
• After Senior Brother Gui suggested the Dream Divination Method, Li Xiuchang received an image of a young Confucian Sage at a Wordless Stele.
• The young Confucian Sage rejected the origin of the Confucian Path, noticed Li Xiuchang watching, and said he would open another path toward the supreme realm.
• Li Xiuchang awoke after losing more than one hundred thousand years of lifespan and told the senior brothers and senior sisters that the Dao of Heaven had tricked him.
• Li Xiuchang reasoned that the image showed the Confucian Sage would reincarnate and abandon the Confucian Path rather than renew its origin.

Li Xiuchang learned that the Confucian Sage had abandoned the origin of the Confucian Path and investigated Wenwen and Golden Horn’s unexplained entry into a secret realm. After confirming Golden Horn was safe, he traveled to the Demon Suppressing Realm, where Su Qingchun’s Confucian studies suggested a possible connection to Li Xiuchang’s Equalizer Dao.

• Li Xiuchang concluded that the Confucian Sage had reincarnated, rejected the Confucian Path, and left its shattered origin for someone destined to claim it.
• Gui Wuyan divined that Wenwen and Golden Horn were safe inside a secret realm in the Youhe Realm, and Chen Changsheng explained the realm’s divided, chaotic rule.
• Li Xiuchang replenished his lifespan to around four hundred thousand years and continued developing his Equalizer Dao and improving his Preaching Ranking position.
• Chen Changsheng found Wenwen’s main body, learned that the secret realm was training Golden Horn, and failed to enter through its Immortal Array.
• Li Xiuchang traveled to the Demon Suppressing Realm and asked Su Qingchun whether the Confucian Path shared principles with the Equalizer Dao.
• Su Qingchun suggested that the Confucian principle of teaching without discrimination might count as equality.

Li Xiuchang found that the Confucian principle of “education without discrimination” closely matched the Equalizer Dao and began absorbing the Confucian Path’s origin. After returning to the Immortal Dust Sect Market, he agreed to protect Yang Hao, an orphaned prodigy with an Innate Sacred Body.

• Su Qingchun explained the two meanings of “education without discrimination,” and Li Xiuchang recognized their connection to the Equalizer Dao.
• Li Xiuchang began comprehending the Confucian Path’s origin through a Wordless Stele and assigned one stone tablet to Su Qingchun to study.
• Li Xiuchang returned to the Eastern Geng District and headed to Danxiang Tower after Song Yu asked him to meet the delivered prodigy.
• Song Yu introduced Yang Hao, an orphan with an Innate Sacred Body, and the village chief explained that the boy needed protection from people who might seek to possess him.
• Li Xiuchang promised to keep Yang Hao safe at the Immortal Dust Sect Market, then asked what work the boy could do; Yang Hao said he could do arithmetic.

Li Xiuchang discovered that Yang Hao was gifted at arithmetic but could neither retain written characters nor learn cultivation techniques, even after Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor repeatedly tried to teach him. Gui Wuyan divined that Yang Hao’s unusual traits came from an extraordinary previous life, leaving Li Xiuchang to wonder whether Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor had known him before his reincarnation.

• Li Xiuchang tested Yang Hao’s arithmetic and writing, then assigned him to collect payments and tend the incense at Danxiang Tower.
• Yang Hao’s incense offerings vanished rapidly before Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor’s statue, and the Dao Ancestor tried to transmit a cultivation technique that Yang Hao immediately forgot.
• Yang Hao’s plea brought another transmission attempt, but he forgot the technique again and reported that Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor had called him stupid.
• Li Xiuchang’s senior brothers and sisters examined Yang Hao and concluded that he was innately unable to learn written language or cultivation techniques.
• Li Xiuchang gave Gui Wuyan Longevity Cake so he could divine Yang Hao’s origins; Gui Wuyan determined that Yang Hao was an ordinary mortal in this life but may have been a mighty expert in his previous life.
• Li Xiuchang wondered whether Heart Questioning Dao Ancestor had known Yang Hao in his previous life.

Li Xiuchang learned that Yang Hao could comprehend the Dao despite being a mortal, then strengthened him with Longevity Pills and began training him in swordsmanship, imagining him as the future sect master of the Sword Seeking Sect. The chapter ended with Chen Changsheng reporting that Wenkeng and Golden Horn had returned from a secret realm, where five Divine Beast Bloodlines were needed to proceed.

• Gui Wuyan said Yang Hao might help Li Xiuchang in the future and could have an advantage in comprehending the Dao despite being unable to read.
• Li Xiuchang gave Yang Hao a Longevity Pill, strengthening his body and soul, then let him choose a weapon; Yang Hao chose a sword and quickly showed talent for swordsmanship.
• Li Xiuchang gave Yang Hao Longevity Pills and aura-concealing treasures, arranged for a Yin Soul employee to teach him, and returned to the Eastern Geng District.
• Chen Changsheng told Li Xiuchang that Wenkeng and Golden Horn had emerged from a secret realm to seek reinforcements because five Divine Beast Bloodlines were needed to open its later stages.
• Chen Changsheng said Wenkeng possessed a trace of Black Tortoise bloodline and that the secret realm recognized Golden Horn's bloodline as another Divine Beast Bloodline.

Li Xiuchang learned that Golden Horn had reached the Sixth Tier and that the Sacred Beast Secret Realm required five Divine Beast Bloodlines to open its third stage, so he joined Steady and Golden Horn on a journey to find more descendants of divine beasts. At sea, they discovered that Golden Falcon was famous for trying to elope with the Silver Moon King’s daughter, and the story left off as the clam spirit explained Golden Falcon’s motive.

• Golden Horn returned to the Immortal Dust Sect with Steady’s clone, apologized to Li Xiuchang, and revealed that it had reached the Sixth Tier after gaining Great Dao insights in the Sacred Beast Secret Realm.
• Steady told Li Xiuchang that it planned to search overseas for three more Divine Beast Bloodlines, and Li Xiuchang offered information about the Silver Falcon King and its son, Golden Falcon.
• Gui Wuyan divined that the trip would bring danger and gains if Li Xiuchang, Steady, and Golden Horn went alone, so Li Xiuchang prepared to leave with them.
• Before departing, Li Xiuchang posted teaching threads, left Yang Hao another bottle of Longevity Pills, and promised him a greater opportunity when he returned.
• Li Xiuchang, Steady, and Golden Horn reached the offshore region and questioned a clam spirit about the Silver Falcon King and Golden Falcon.
• The clam spirit said Golden Falcon had tried to elope with the Silver Moon King’s daughter and began explaining that he wanted to father a Kunpeng.

Li Xiuchang traveled into the deep sea seeking Golden Falcon and recruited a pelican demon as his guide after learning where Golden Falcon lived. He reached Silver Falcon King's territory and began offering Golden Falcon an opportunity, asking Silver Falcon King whether it knew that other worlds existed.

• Li Xiuchang learned that Golden Falcon had come from the eastern deep sea and continued east to look for him.
• Li Xiuchang and Goldenhorn were swallowed by a Fifth Tier pelican, which apologized, offered its savings, and gave them directions to Golden Falcon's birdcage on Golden Peng Island.
• The pelican, nicknamed Big Mouth, joined Li Xiuchang as a guide; it told him that Water Ape King's young son was friends with Golden Falcon and had Zhu Yan bloodline.
• At the edge of Silver Falcon King's territory, a seagull stopped Li Xiuchang's group and went to notify the king.
• Silver Falcon King confronted Li Xiuchang, who said he had an opportunity for Golden Falcon and asked whether the king knew other worlds existed.

Li Xiuchang recruited Silver Falcon King and Golden Falcon to join an expedition into the Sacred Beast Secret Realm, proving Steady’s Immortal Beast Status/Rank when Silver Falcon King tested him. Silver Falcon King agreed to help recruit two more Divine Beast Bloodline candidates and accompanied the group toward Water Ape King’s territory.

• Li Xiuchang swore a Dao oath to prove he belonged to one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, and Silver Falcon King invited him to her cave abode.
• Li Xiuchang told Silver Falcon King and Golden Falcon about the Sacred Beast Secret Realm and showed them Steady and Golden Horn as two Divine Beast Bloodlines.
• Silver Falcon King attacked Steady to test Li Xiuchang, but Steady’s Status/Rank pressured her and the others into submission.
• Golden Falcon proposed Yuan Bao and Jing Jing as the remaining candidates, while Silver Falcon King agreed to help Li Xiuchang approach their parents and escort her son.
• The pelican accidentally swallowed Silver Falcon King and Golden Falcon, then spat them out, and Silver Falcon King warned Li Xiuchang about Water Ape King’s temper as they set off.
