Jiang Ping An sought a top-tier wind-element Divine Art for Tuanzi and learned that the Bai Family Ancestral Land might hold one. He agreed to accompany Bai Jingqiu there, then arrived at the Imperial City's east gate to find her facing a wealthy suitor and his fearsome beast.

• The man told Bai Jingqiu he loved her and would let their future children take her surname to help restore the Bai Family.

• 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.
• Bai Jingqiu explained that the Ancestral Land was protected by ancient restrictions and that Jiang Ping An could enter because the Marriage Contract’s rules gave him temporary recognition.

• Bai Jingqiu explained that the tree grew from a World Tree seed in a fragment of Creation Mountain and that a World Fruit from it had granted the Bai Family’s founding Old Ancestor the God Seal talent.

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.
• They arrived in a scorching, sandstorm-filled Small World and found a stone stele pointing to an inheritance hidden in a Divine Mountain.

• 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.
• Jiang Ping An’s avatars encountered a vast swarm of dust-sized worms that devoured the Shadow Clone, and he marked the region as dangerous and searched for another route.
• 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.

After more than a decade of searching, Jiang Ping An found the Inheritance Divine Mountain and discovered that Xiong Yan had entered it. He and Bai Jingqiu reached the mountain and tried to stop Xiong Yan, but he passed the First Trial and vanished deeper into the inheritance.

• 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.

• Xiong Yan entered the second trial, assumed Bai Jingqiu and Jiang Ping An could not pass the first, and focused on claiming Bai Dianyuan’s inheritance.
• Jiang Ping An used temporal foresight and his soul’s calculations to evade the wind blades, even closing his eyes as he continued through their attacks.

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.

• Xiong Taohai caught up with them outside the Inheritance Divine Mountain, knocked them down, and tossed Bai Jingqiu aside.
• Xiong Taohai struck at Jiang Ping An, who could not rise under the pressure and feared he would die before avenging his family.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
