Ch. 1501One Circuit Short
Jiang Ping An continued cultivating the Primordial True Martial Scripture until he was one cycle short of completing the Primordial Body, but an apparent plea for help from Lan Shi'er sent him rushing to the Transport Ship Ruins. There, Xu Qinglan revealed that he had faked the message to lure Jiang Ping An into a trap and kill him.
- Jiang Ping An sold his artifacts for cultivation resources, then continued training while avoiding the dangerous Divine Ship Core Region.
- Jiang Ping An spent five years in the Time Cultivation Room circulating Primordial Qi 999 times, and learned that Lan Shi'er had gone on a mission at the Transport Ship Ruins.
- Lan Shi'er’s Identity Token seemed to send Jiang Ping An an urgent plea for help before going dark, so he used her coordinates and hurried toward the ruins.
- Jiang Ping An could not contact Lan Shi'er or Bai Jingqiu, but continued toward the ruins despite suspecting a scheme.
- Xu Qinglan revealed that he had forged Lan Shi'er’s plea using the Identity Token’s hidden controls and lured her away to block communication.
- Xu Qinglan waited at the Transport Ship Ruins, intending to kill Jiang Ping An and remove what he saw as an obstacle to pursuing Lan Shi'er.
