Jiang Ping An and Bai Jingqiu entered the Bai Family Ancestral Land to seek the golden divine tree at its depths. As they descended, Bai Jingqiu explained the tree’s origins and its connection to the Bai Family’s God Seal talent.

• Bai Jingqiu worried that the South Family might retaliate against Jiang Ping An, but he said he could flee under a new identity if needed.

Jiang Ping An and Bai Jingqiu entered a Wind Element Small World on the Golden World Tree, where they found a clue to an inheritance left by Bai Dianyuan, a powerful Bai Family ancestor. As they headed toward the Divine Mountain, Jiang Ping An sensed danger and pulled Bai Jingqiu away from a giant centipede demon that burst from the sand.

• Bai Jingqiu activated the teleportation platform, and Jiang Ping An chose a passage by tossing a divine-power coin into it.

• A God King Third Level centipede demon erupted from beneath the sand where they had been flying.

• Jiang Ping An pulled Bai Jingqiu into the Shadow Clone’s Devouring Space to escape a Third Level God King beast, then found a nearby underground nest where they could hide.
• Jiang Ping An and Bai Jingqiu secured the nest with array flags and sent avatars toward the Inheritance Divine Mountain to map the surrounding territories.
• Jiang Ping An’s scouting avatar was killed by an unseen attacker, so he sent two more avatars to investigate and discovered a Fifth Level God King jellyfish-like beast hunting creatures from the sky.

• Over several years, Jiang Ping An’s avatars mapped hazards while he and Bai Jingqiu cultivated in the nest, shared meals, and grew more comfortable with one another.

• Bai Jingqiu's sword could not penetrate the trial barrier, and Xiong Yan passed the First Trial before using Space Rule to travel deeper into the mountain.

Jiang Ping An began Bai Dianyuan’s speed trial after his attempt to evade the wind blades by turning into a shadow was rejected. He used temporal foresight and his powerful soul to navigate the blades, while Xiong Yan moved on to the second trial and brooded over Bai Jingqiu’s possible Marriage Contract.

• Bai Jingqiu read the first trial’s rules and worried that her average speed would keep her from passing, so Jiang Ping An offered to take her through the challenge.

Jiang Ping An passed the First Trial and joined Bai Jingqiu in confronting Xiong Yan, but after they nearly killed him, his father's Sixth Level God King blood essence avatar appeared and turned the fight against them.

A remnant of Bai Dianyuan's consciousness saved Jiang Ping An and Bai Jingqiu by killing Xiong Taohai and Xiong Yan with the Ancestral Land's storm. It offered Bai Jingqiu a perilous technique to gather the bloodline power of deceased Bai Family members, and she began the ritual with the ancestors' support.

• The shattered statue revealed itself as a remnant of Bai Dianyuan and unleashed the yellow hurricane, which killed Xiong Taohai and Xiong Yan.
• The statue healed Jiang Ping An and Bai Jingqiu, then explained that it could not restore the Bai Family but could use a dangerous technique to strengthen a living descendant.
• Bai Jingqiu accepted the technique despite its less-than-twenty-percent success rate, determined to rebuild the Bai Family.
• The statue activated Bai Jingqiu's bloodline and called on the Bai Family's heroic spirits to contribute their power.
• Beams of light and ancestral blessings flowed from the Ancestral Land into Bai Jingqiu as she vowed not to betray their trust.

Bai Jingqiu endured the Bloodline Fusion Ritual for five years, but her will nearly failed as the Ancestral Blood overwhelmed her. Jiang Ping An sent his resolve through the Mind Contract, rekindling her determination and accelerating the ritual.

• Jiang Ping An sent his unyielding will to Bai Jingqiu through the Mind Contract, renewing her resolve to restore the Bai Family.
• Bai Jingqiu opened her eyes and drew the Ancestral Blood into herself faster, prompting the statue to suspect Jiang Ping An had rekindled her conviction.

After leaving the Bai Family Ancestral Land, Jiang Ping An was confronted by a South Family God King who accused him of killing their guards.

• A South Family guard recognized Jiang Ping An outside the hall, and a Fourth Level God King confronted him over the deaths of the family's guards.

Jiang Ping An left the Bai Family ancestral land after Bai Jingqiu killed the South Family attackers, then encountered the injured Ding Han in a forest. He initially refused to take Ding Han’s beast-hide scroll, but stopped when Ding Han offered to sell it for five hundred Spirit King Pills.

• A South Family Fourth Level God King attacked Jiang Ping An but was sealed by Bai Jingqiu’s God Seal and sent into the palace pit.
• Bai Jingqiu killed the South Family God King and the guards, then watched Jiang Ping An depart.
• Jiang Ping An flew toward the imperial city with Bai Dianyuan’s inheritance and found the wounded Ding Han beneath an ancient tree.
• Jiang Ping An chose not to rob Ding Han of the beast-hide scroll, so Ding Han offered to sell it for Spirit King Pills.
• Ding Han lowered the price to five hundred Spirit King Pills, making Jiang Ping An stop and reconsider the purchase.

Jiang Ping An bought an inscrutable beast hide from Ding Han and reunited with Lan Shi'er and Tuanzi in the imperial city before retreating to study it. In the Devouring Space, he exhausted his Soul Power trying to pierce the rules concealing the hide’s contents, but remained determined to uncover its secrets.

• Jiang Ping An paid Ding Han five hundred Spirit King Pills for a beast hide that resisted his World Eye and showed no visible markings.
• After Jiang Ping An left, Lan Jie arrived and attacked Ding Han, who fled into the void before Lan Jie pursued him.
• Jiang Ping An reunited with Lan Shi'er and Tuanzi, gave Tuanzi Bai Dianyuan's wind-element inheritance, and discussed the possibility of joining the Imperial Clan Refining Room.
• Jiang Ping An spent several days with Lan Shi'er, Tuanzi, and Little Lion, then rented a high-grade Cultivation Room at Hua Miao Lou.
• Jiang Ping An entered the Devouring Space and repeatedly used the World Eye to examine the beast hide, exhausting his Soul Power without revealing its secrets.

Jiang Ping An discovered that the Mummy Soul Tree Fragment connected to the mysterious beast hide and spent nearly three years and a fortune in pills feeding it Soul Power. After the hide appeared unchanged and he resolved to sell it, he noticed a tiny black sprout emerging from the mark where the fragment had merged.

• Jiang Ping An failed to uncover the hide’s secrets with the World Eye or other methods and decided to sell it to Ning Yun Ya.
• He realized the Mummy Soul Tree Fragment might be connected to the hide and placed the fragment on it.
• The hide absorbed Jiang Ping An’s Soul Power through the fragment, which merged into the hide and left a black mark.
• Jiang Ping An spent nearly three years and tens of thousands of Spirit King Pills feeding the hide, but it showed no apparent change.
• After deciding to sell the hide, Jiang Ping An noticed a tiny black tip sprouting from the mark.

Jiang Ping An spent a year and enormous resources transforming the beast hide, discovering it contained a world he could shape with his thoughts and a second consciousness linked to his own. He suspected that a missing ancient jar was needed to let creations escape into reality, leaving him with a powerful but incomplete treasure.

• Jiang Ping An noticed a tiny head resembling himself forming on the beast hide and chose to keep investing in it.
• He traded most of his remaining Spirit King Pills for Soul Power-restoring pills and spent another year nourishing the hide until the Mummy Soul Tree fragment vanished.
• Divine runes erupted as the hide formed a miniature Jiang Ping An, giving him a second soul and access to an independent spiritual world he could shape with his thoughts.
• Jiang Ping An created a golden dragon with second king-level power and discovered that its attacks in the spiritual world also hurt his main body's soul.
• He tried to bring the dragon into reality but failed, then recalled the ancient jar from the Zhum Civilization Ruins and guessed it was the missing passage between the hide's world and reality.
• Jiang Ping An regretted losing the jar and wondered whether the beast hide had practical value without it.

Jiang Ping An discovered that the beast hide could provide a time advantage and let Little Black safely simulate cultivation of Hell of Illusory Suffering. As he cultivated at Hua Miao Lou, Lan Jie arrived searching for him under the name Long Ping.

• Jiang Ping An tested the beast-hide world against a real Time Array and found it used ten times fewer resources for the same time difference.
• Jiang Ping An realized Little Black could use the beast hide to think through battles at accelerated time and simulate cultivating Hell of Illusory Suffering without suffering most of its Karmic Fire damage.
• Jiang Ping An continued cultivating the sixth layer of the Heaven Mending Art and the Fourth Layer Prison Suppressing of Hell of Illusory Suffering at Hua Miao Lou.
• Lan Jie showed a Hua Miao Lou maid a divine-power image of Jiang Ping An and demanded to know which room Long Ping occupied.

Lan Jie failed to force Hua Miao Lou to reveal Jiang Ping An’s location, then ordered his men to watch the establishment while he pursued another stolen treasure. After cultivating in the Beast Hide World, Jiang Ping An left to meet Lan Shi'er and Tuanzi but was intercepted by Xiao Hui, who confirmed that Lan Jie wanted to see him.

• Lan Jie demanded that Hua Miao Lou reveal whether Long Ping was staying there, but the maid refused and relayed Ning Yun Ya’s warning that Lan Jie would be barred if he caused trouble.
• Lan Jie ordered a subordinate to watch Hua Miao Lou and seize Long Ping when he came out, then left the imperial city to find Zhang Yong and Mo Xiu about the clay jar.
• Jiang Ping An cultivated in the Beast Hide World at five times the outside rate, leaving Little Black to continue studying while he went to meet Lan Shi'er and Tuanzi.
• Xiao Hui stopped Jiang Ping An outside Hua Miao Lou and demanded that he come meet his Young Master.
• Jiang Ping An denied being Long Ping, but Xiao Hui identified his master as Young Master Lan Jie, and Jiang Ping An realized Lan Jie was likely after the beast hide.

Jiang Ping An used a Sound Recording Stone to expose Xiao Hui’s threats and protect himself from being seized by the Lan Clan Royal Family. With the recording drawing a crowd and Hua Miao Lou shielding him, he forced Xiao Hui to agree to pay compensation, though Xiao Hui demanded a public explanation that they had only been joking.

• Xiao Hui threatened to have the royal guards frame Jiang Ping An and arrest him unless he went along willingly.
• Jiang Ping An activated a Sound Recording Stone, broadcasting Xiao Hui’s threats to the surrounding street, then retreated into Hua Miao Lou.
• Jiang Ping An publicly condemned the Lan Clan Royal Family while Xiao Hui stopped outside Hua Miao Lou and tried to silence him.
• Jiang Ping An demanded five thousand Spirit King Pills or equivalent collateral to stop the recording, and Xiao Hui agreed to pay if Jiang publicly said they had been joking.
