• A God-level Expert named Ma Heng killed Wu Chuan for insulting the princess, then offered Lan Shi'er a God-level Enlightenment Pill and begged her to forgive the Nether King Ship.

Lan Shi'er and Jiang Ping An traveled toward the Nether King Ship, where Jiang Ping An traded stories for her God-level Enlightenment Pill. He used the pill to comprehend the Heaven Mending Art's fourth layer, while the Nether King Ship Commander revealed the ship's role in the conflict over Kunpeng Island.

Jiang Ping An received Bai Jingqiu’s God Comprehension Realm Essential Blood Essence and traveled with her and Lan Shi'er to the Nether King Ship. As Bai Jingqiu joined a meeting about Kunpeng Island’s destruction and Lan Shi'er was drawn into plans for revenge, Jiang Ping An shut himself in a room to begin his fourth strengthening.

• Jiang Ping An learned that mastering the Heaven Mending Art’s Fourth Floor let him strengthen objects four times, and he planned to use Bai Jingqiu’s promised blood essence to strengthen himself.

• Jiang Ping An found an empty room, activated its barrier array, and began his fourth strengthening.

Jiang Ping An's fourth talent enhancement formed the beginnings of Yin Yang Power and strengthened his body and soul. After Bai Jingqiu asked him to help Lan Shi'er, he reached the Martial Arts Arena, where Centipede Island was humiliating Kunpeng Island's young fighters.

• Jiang Ping An used Bai Jingqiu's Essential Blood Essence to complete the fourth enhancement, forming a Yin Yang Diagram from his origins.

• Jiang Ping An collected the five corpses and left with Lan Shi'er and the others as spectators recognized him as a powerful Soul Immortal.

After returning to Kunpeng Island, Jiang Ping An rejected the Crystal Ball’s offer to view the future and chose to focus on cultivation instead. A month later, Lan Shi'er persuaded him to attend the Freedom Alliance’s recruitment, while Bai Jingqiu worried that their closeness would not last as their paths diverged.

• Lan Shi'er praised Jiang Ping An’s hidden strength, and he pulled away from her to avoid damaging her reputation.
• Bai Jingqiu scolded the young people for acting recklessly, and a Kunpeng Island elder told them to prepare for the Freedom Alliance’s recruitment assessment.

• Jiang Ping An continued cultivating the Kunpeng Devouring Rules for a month while Lan Shi'er repeatedly visited his room.
• Lan Shi'er persuaded Jiang Ping An to accompany her to the recruitment, and Bai Jingqiu watched them leave with concern about their different futures.

Jiang Ping An accompanied Lan Shi'er to watch the Freedom Alliance recruit aboard the Nether King Ship and learned about its powerful lending and debt-collection business. Ning WuQue, the branch’s Intelligence Division director, invited Jiang Ping An to join, but Jiang Ping An refused so he could focus on cultivation.

• Lan Shi'er explained that the Freedom Alliance controlled much of the Sea of Chaos’s trade and enforced loans through its Debt Chasing Division.
• Young people from Kunpeng Island told Lan Shi'er they had failed to qualify for the Debt Chasing Division after passing only its first assessment round.
• Ning WuQue introduced himself as the Intelligence Division director and invited Jiang Ping An to join his division because of his combat strength and talent.
• Jiang Ping An refused Ning WuQue’s invitation, saying he wanted to focus on cultivation, while Lan Shi'er and the Kunpeng Island youths reacted with surprise and envy.

Jiang Ping An accepted an offer to become an external member of the Freedom Alliance’s Intelligence Division, while Ning WuQue secretly hoped to use him to obtain information about Lan Shi'er and Bai Jingqiu. Lan Shi'er then led Jiang Ping An to the Refining Pavilion, where her praise of his skills provoked several struggling Refining Masters.

• Ning WuQue offered Jiang Ping An external membership in the Intelligence Division, and Jiang Ping An accepted a God Sound Talisman instead of undergoing an assessment.
• Ning WuQue told his guard that he had recruited Jiang Ping An partly because of his connection to Lan Shi'er and Bai Jingqiu and hoped he might eventually sell valuable intelligence.
• Jiang Ping An refused Lan Shi'er's suggestion that he take the Debt Chasing Division's assessment because he did not want to pursue desperate debtors or risk dangerous confrontations.
• Lan Shi'er brought Jiang Ping An to the Refining Pavilion and offered to pay for his First Trial, but Jiang Ping An objected to the fee.
• Lan Shi'er loudly claimed Jiang Ping An would easily pass the artifact-refining assessment, prompting several frustrated Refining Masters to rebuke her.

Lan Shi'er wagered one thousand Top-Grade God Source Stones that Jiang Ping An would pass the Freedom Alliance's artifact-refining assessment. After studying the requirements, Jiang Ping An opened his eyes, leaving the yellow-robed Refining Master convinced he had given up and won the bet.

• Lan Shi'er challenged a yellow-robed Refining Master to a wager and staked one thousand Top-Grade God Source Stones on Jiang Ping An.
• Jiang Ping An cautioned Lan Shi'er against betting recklessly, but she insisted he would win and brought him to the assessment desk.
• The white-bearded examiner gave Jiang Ping An an assessment requiring five different high-grade Profound Immortal artifacts from twenty materials and three runes within two hours.
• Jiang Ping An studied the materials and runes in an Information Jade Slip while the yellow-robed Refining Master explained how difficult the task was and prepared his own stake.
• Jiang Ping An put down the jade slip and opened his eyes, prompting the yellow-robed Refining Master to laugh and claim the wager.

Jiang Ping An completed the first Refining Pavilion assessment almost instantly, impressing examiner Ding ChiYan with five exceptional Immortal Artifact blueprints and earning passage to the second trial. He arrived upstairs to identify and assess three concealed, damaged Immortal Artifacts, with Ding ChiYan offering him direct membership if he completed the trial quickly.

• Jiang Ping An told Lan Shi'er and the other Refining Masters that he had finished the first assessment, then asked Ding ChiYan to inspect his blueprints.
• Ding ChiYan found five blueprints for Top-Grade Profound Immortal Realm Immortal Artifacts and praised their quality, confirming Jiang Ping An had passed.
• Lan Shi'er won the yellow-robed Refining Master's Storage Bag and paid for Jiang Ping An to enter the second-floor assessment.
• Jiang Ping An learned that the second trial required him to identify the true grades and damaged portions of three concealed Immortal Artifacts and recommend repairs within an hour.
• Ding ChiYan told Jiang Ping An that completing the second trial quickly would let him skip the third trial and join the Refining Pavilion directly.

Jiang Ping An analyzed the three Immortal Artifacts in the Second Trial, identifying their grades, flaws, and repair methods. He concluded that the mysterious metal block was a fragment from a recently self-destructed Immortal Lord-Level Puppet, leaving the Refining Masters stunned.

• Jiang Ping An examined the Golden Flame Immortal Sword, the black shield, and the heavy metal block, then told Ding ChiYan that he had analyzed them.
• Jiang Ping An identified the sword as a True Immortal high-grade artifact disguised as a lower grade and explained how to repair its flaws.
• Jiang Ping An judged the shield to be a defective Golden Immortal mid-grade artifact and proposed changes to its materials and forging process, unknowingly criticizing Ding ChiYan's own work.
• Jiang Ping An told Ding ChiYan he did not intend to join the Refining Pavilion, and Ding ChiYan invited him to continue analyzing the third artifact anyway.
• Jiang Ping An used Mental Power to identify the metal block as a puppet fragment and deduced that it came from an Immortal Lord-Level Puppet that had self-destructed soon after being forged.

Jiang Ping An impressed Ding ChiYan with his artifact-refining skill, declined to join the Refining Pavilion, and received an incomplete puppet blueprint to study. Back at the courtyard, Bai Jingqiu warned Lan Shi'er not to fall in love with Jiang Ping An.

• Ding ChiYan asked Jiang Ping An about his background and urged him to join the Refining Pavilion, but Jiang Ping An declined because he wanted to focus on cultivation.
• Ding ChiYan gave Jiang Ping An a Black Jade containing an incomplete puppet blueprint and offered a divine artifact if he could complete it.
• Jiang Ping An left the pavilion with Lan Shi'er, then spent the day selling resources, buying supplies, and gathering materials for cultivation.
• Bai Jingqiu privately asked Lan Shi'er about her talent reconstruction, and Lan Shi'er said it was one-tenth complete and she was nearing the Golden Immortal Realm.
• Bai Jingqiu told Lan Shi'er not to fall in love with Jiang Ping An because he was not yet qualified to become her man.

Lan Shi'er defended Jiang Ping An to Bai Jingqiu, revealing her grief over her mother’s death, while Jiang Ping An reviewed Intelligence Division bounties and decided to expose the Sea Spirit Hall’s secret to Ning WuQue. The chapter ended as Ning WuQue received Jiang Ping An’s message and hoped it contained valuable news.

• Jiang Ping An realized that Evil Demons had taken control of the Sea Spirit Hall’s geniuses through Body Seizing and decided to tell Ning WuQue.
• Ning WuQue received Jiang Ping An’s message and hoped it contained the news he had been waiting for.

Jiang Ping An sold Ning WuQue intelligence that the Sea Spirit Hall was a stronghold of Evil Demons and received a Seven Revolutions Enlightenment Pill. After the transaction, he examined a damaged puppet blueprint and wondered why Ding ChiYan had offered a divine artifact to have it repaired.

• Ning WuQue contacted Jiang Ping An hoping for intelligence about Lan Shi'er or Bai Jingqiu, but Jiang instead reported that the Sea Spirit Hall's upper ranks and elites were Evil Demons.
• Jiang Ping An claimed he recognized the Sea Spirit Hall's leaders as the Evil Demons who had invaded his hometown, and Ning WuQue found that this explained the group's rapid growth and recruitment of powerful talents.
• Ning WuQue offered Jiang a supreme-grade Immortal Lord-level immortal artifact, and Jiang asked to exchange it for a Seven Revolutions Enlightenment Pill.
• Jiang withheld what he knew about the Paradise Divine Sect's sunken ship because revealing it could expose him to danger and he was unsure whether the Sea Spirit Hall had found it.
• Jiang took out the damaged puppet blueprint Ding ChiYan had given him and wondered why repairing an Immortal Lord-level puppet blueprint had been worth a divine artifact.

Jiang Ping An learned that Crystal Ball could restore damaged items through equivalent exchange, but decided to postpone restoring the Immortal Lord-level puppet blueprint. As he resumed cultivation, the Godship Remnant Clan learned Sea Spirit Hall was a nest of Evil Demons and plotted to exploit the coming purge to weaken rival forces.

• Jiang Ping An examined the damaged puppet blueprint in the Black Jade and learned from Crystal Ball that restoring it would require an Immortal Lord-level immortal artifact.
• Jiang Ping An decided to wait until he was stronger before asking Ding ChiYan to exchange the restored blueprint for a divine artifact, then continued cultivating the Blood Devil Berserk Art with Bai Jingqiu's God's Blood.
• The Godship Remnant Clan's leaders received intelligence that Sea Spirit Hall was a nest of Evil Demons and discussed investigating their own clan for parasites.
• The clan leader proposed cleansing the clan first, then joining other forces to attack Sea Spirit Hall and inciting disputes over its territory to make rival forces fight.

Jiang Ping An learned that the Sea Spirit Hall was a nest of Evil Demons and warned Kunpeng Island against joining the siege planned by the Godship Remnant Clan. Dong Yunfeng dismissed his concerns and ordered everyone to prepare to depart.

• Jiang Ping An warned that the Godship Remnant Clan might have another motive, but Dong Yunfeng rejected his concerns and ordered everyone to prepare to leave in half a day.

Jiang Ping An joined Kunpeng Island’s assault on Sea Spirit Hall, where Lan Shi'er revealed the Bai Family Bloodline Talent, God Seal. He watched in shock as she sealed the powers of five Golden Immortals in succession.

• Bai Jingqiu dismissed Jiang Ping An’s concerns about the expedition and gave him more cultivation resources.

• Bai Jingqiu charged toward the Sea Spirit Hall Master and told Jiang Ping An to protect Lan Shi'er.
• Lan Shi'er used God Seal to seal five Golden Immortals, leaving Jiang Ping An and the nearby fighters stunned.

Lan Shi'er helped lead the assault on the Sea Spirit Hall, revealing her powerful God Seal talent before the hall’s forces were defeated. She and Jiang Ping An then explored the underwater palace, where he spotted a divine artifact he wanted but saw that other factions were already competing for it.

• Jiang Ping An recognized a blood-red stone disk that amplified killing intent and wanted to obtain it, but other factions, including Immortal Lord experts, had also noticed it.

Jiang Ping An and Lan Shi'er reached the barrier around a palace filled with treasures, and Jiang Ping An absorbed its energy while the Immortals broke it. After the Blood-colored Stone Platform repelled the Immortal Lords with its deadly Baleful Intent, Jiang Ping An flew toward it, leaving the onlookers baffled.

• Lan Shi'er urged Jiang Ping An to leave, but he sent her away so he could approach the barrier alone.
• Jiang Ping An used the Devouring Heaven Demon Scripture to absorb the barrier's energy, prompting some people from Centipede Island and Walrus Island to suspect he came from Kunpeng Island and plot against him.
• The barrier shattered, and the Immortals charged toward the palace; the pressure killed several Xuan Immortals and drove the Golden Immortals to retreat.
• Several Immortal Lords tried to take the Blood-colored Stone Platform, but its Baleful Intent wounded them and killed two of them by shredding their souls.
• As surviving Immortal Lords retreated or entered the palace, Jiang Ping An flew toward the Blood-colored Stone Platform, surprising three Immortal Lords watching nearby.

• Jiang Ping An landed unharmed on the Blood-colored Stone Platform and swallowed it into his Devouring Space while the three Immortal Lords watched in shock.
• When an Immortal Lord attacked, Jiang Ping An used the platform's killing intent to daze him, then knocked him away and faced Tao Mei and Chai Jing.
• Jiang Ping An refused Tao Mei and Chai Jing's demands to surrender the divine artifact, and the two Immortal Lords charged him.
• Jiang Ping An used a clone and a stored golden talisman to strike Tao Mei with an Immortal Lord's full-force attack, badly wounding her.
• Chai Jing roared in anger and swung his saber at Jiang Ping An.
