• Ye Xuecang and the others showed Ye Jingcheng three stalks of Gengyuan Golden Bamboo, ideal material for his fifth Natal Sword Embryo.

Ye Jingyu, Ye Xuecang, and Ye Jingcheng traveled through the Upper Immortal Realm and reached Burial Dao Lake, where they entered the Extreme Origin Sect secret realm to collect spirit herbs and treasures. Ye Jingcheng went underground and found that the Five-Colored Mystic Pool had gained intelligence and was impersonating a guardian to bar his way into the Extreme Origin Holy Land.

The four sects’ Nascent Soul cultivators found the entrance to the Mending Heaven Garden secret realm and discovered its Spirit Herb Valley was protected by a Myriad Law Devouring Spirit Array. Their attempt to break the array only strengthened its defenses and revealed even more valuable herbs.

• Rising Sun True Monarch, Red Coral True Monarch, and Ten Thousand Waters True Monarch argued over how to divide the secret realm’s treasures before agreeing to enter together.
• Red Coral True Monarch used her Coral Dao Plate to identify the true entrance among the rosy clouds, and Rising Sun True Monarch left a formation behind to guard the Golden Core cultivators.

• Rising Sun True Monarch agreed to have the group attack the five major cores together and assigned Junior Brother Dong Ming to guard the rear.
• The cultivators poured spiritual arts and true essence into the Spirit Shield, but the array grew stronger and revealed even more herbs, including more than a dozen Transformation Spirit Herbs.

The Nascent Soul cultivators broke through the hidden formation cores and found a wealth of Spirit Herbs, but greed led them to turn on one another. Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng and his companions reached the Mending Heaven Garden and prepared to break its formation.

• Ye Jingyu sensed Nascent Soul auras inside the Mending Heaven Garden, and Ye Jingcheng decided to break the formation and set up a new one.

Rising Sun True Monarch and his allies killed Red Coral True Monarch and moved to eliminate Yuan Ze True Monarch, but his revelation that Ye Jingcheng and his companions guarded the entrance forced them to negotiate. As they prepared to ambush the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng entered through a hidden opening in the void.

• Red Coral True Monarch attacked her junior brother with Coral Shadows, but Rising Sun True Monarch's golden mirror and the Golden Crow in her body killed her.
• Rising Sun True Monarch and Ten Thousand Waters True Monarch attacked Yuan Ze True Monarch and ordered Dong Ming True Monarch and Xiao Yuan True Monarch to guard the entrance.

• Rising Sun True Monarch agreed to let Yuan Ze True Monarch take ten percent if he helped kill Ye Jingcheng, and the group set up their formations.
• Ye Jingcheng used the Space Crack Divine Earthworm to open a hidden doorway in the void, and the Heaven Fixing Treasure Mirror flew through first.

• Ye Jingcheng’s group gathered the remaining Spirit Herbs and completed the harvest the next day.

Ye Jingcheng learned that Penglai’s Dao Plunder required special materials and a mysterious catalyst, easing the Ye Family’s fear that its secrets would be exposed. As the group traveled toward the Azure Sky Secret Realm, the Heavenly Treasure Rat led them into Yongle Secret Realm, where they encountered cultivators from the Dust Origin Realm.

• Ye Jingcheng reported that True Monarch Gu Feng and True Monarch Qing Mo of Penglai had performed Dao Plunder using special materials, spirit pills, and a likely Spirit Treasure catalyst.

• Ye Jingcheng found a male and female cultivator leaving the secret realm with a jade box, accompanied by several Demon Emperors, including one that seemed like a Heaven Dream Illusion Butterfly.
• The female cultivator introduced herself as Xiao Muye of the Sky Beast Sect in the Dust Origin Realm and apologized for her senior brother’s rude demand.

Ye Jingcheng met Xiao Muye in a secret realm, then continued toward the Azure Cloud Secret Realm while weighing the danger of the Heaven Dream Illusion Butterfly. At the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, he secured the sixth-order Pure Yuan Red Ganoderma Flower and prepared to investigate a possible ambush by Penglai.

• Xiao Muye told Ye Jingcheng that the apparent Illusion Butterfly was a Spirit Beast skilled in illusions, gave him a fifth-order Silverbell Grass, and left with her companions.
• Ye Jingcheng's group abandoned the secret realm and continued toward the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, deciding not to pursue the Heaven Dream Illusion Butterfly or its possible inheritance.
• Ye Jingcheng warned Ye Jinghu not to underestimate cultivators from other worlds and had the Seven-Colored Cloud Deer consume the Silverbell Grass.

Penglai’s Nascent Soul cultivators prepared an ambush for the Ye Family inside the Phantom Sound Palace secret realm, using the Soul Seeking Lamp to track their approach. Ye Jingcheng and his companions entered the newly discovered secret realm and headed toward the palace, unaware that the enemy was concealed within its array.

• Saint Cloud True Monarch wanted to explore the Phantom Sound Palace, but Primordial Soul True Monarch insisted they wait for the Ye Family and use the array to trap them.

• Cloud Miasma True Monarch drew Ye Jingcheng into a Spirit Treasure Space filled with corpses, separating him from the Ye Family and their Spirit Beasts.

Ye Jingcheng and the other cultivators reached a city guarding the route to the North Underworld Immortal Palace and learned they needed to cross a Flying Cable beneath attacks from Earth Armor Puppets. Sky Cloud True Monarch crossed successfully, while Void Embrace True Monarch was thrown off, and Ye Jingcheng stepped forward to try as more cultivators arrived behind them.

• Ye Jingcheng volunteered to cross as several rogue cultivators and Nascent Soul factions arrived, including a gray-robed cultivator whose eyes flashed red.

Ye Jingcheng crossed the Flying Cable under the pressure of the divine domain, but a coordinated Demon Sect ambush wounded him as he reached the City Wall. He faked a serious injury to make his planned death seem convincing, then found himself in a tower facing a treasure-filled secret realm where he could take one item.

• Ye Jingcheng used the Profound Wind Spirit Step and his Nascent Soul body cultivation to withstand the Flying Cable’s pressure and arrow rain.
• Ye Jingyu released the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to deter approaching cultivators from getting closer to the gate.

• Ye Jingcheng treated his wound and revealed that he had deliberately been injured to make his planned death more believable; inside the City Wall, he found a tower and a treasure-filled secret realm.

Ye Jingcheng used the Space Crack Divine Earthworm to enter the secret realm hidden inside the light sphere and retrieve its treasures, then hurried toward the North Underworld Immortal Palace. On the palace steps, he found Crimson Demon True Monarch nearing the inheritance and moved to interfere on behalf of the other cultivators, including Purple Firmament True Monarch.

• Ye Jingcheng tested the pressure on the stone path, discovered he could move sideways and backward without added pressure, and decided to help the cultivators behind Crimson Demon True Monarch, including Purple Firmament True Monarch.

Ye Jingcheng attacked Crimson Demon True Monarch to keep him from reaching the North Underworld Palace, but Crimson Demon countered with his Heavenly Demons and forced Ye Jingcheng to fight defensively. While Sky Cloud True Monarch helped shield Ye Jingcheng, Wu Fa True Monarch, Yun Yuan True Monarch, and Purple Firmament True Monarch raced toward the palace.

• Crimson Demon True Monarch urged Wu Fa True Monarch to stop Ye Jingcheng, but Wu Fa refused to intervene because he also wanted the Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure.

• Sky Cloud True Monarch helped Ye Jingcheng fend off the skull's attacks as Wu Fa True Monarch, Yun Yuan True Monarch, and Purple Firmament True Monarch charged toward the North Underworld Palace.

Crimson Demon True Monarch, Purple Firmament True Monarch, and Wu Fa True Monarch reached the palace summit and fought over six powerful treasures, including a Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure. Ye Jingcheng abandoned the climb to preserve his plans, set up a restraining formation, and concealed the arriving cultivators as the struggle continued.

• Crimson Demon True Monarch forced his way onto the palace roof despite the Anti-flight Formation, joining Purple Firmament True Monarch and Wu Fa True Monarch at the entrance.
• Wu Fa True Monarch entered the palace first, and the others saw six treasures floating above an Eight Immortals table, including a spirit sword and jade slip that Ye Jingcheng recognized with his Star Illusion Eyes.
• Sky Cloud True Monarch and Yun Yuan True Monarch reached the summit, and the four contenders began a fierce battle using powerful treasures and spirit beasts.
• Ye Jingcheng gave up climbing, began setting up a formation to restrain the fighters, and resolved not to let the two demons claim the Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure.
• Zhang Ping, Void Embrace True Monarch, Yun Tan True Monarch, Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingyu, and other cultivators arrived after the Earth Armor Puppets dispersed, and Ye Jingcheng concealed them in his formation.

Wu Fa True Monarch stole the Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure and a token before escaping the palace, while the other cultivators claimed the remaining treasures. As he tried to flee, a formation trapped him and dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators launched a combined attack.

• Purple Firmament True Monarch used the Golden Buddha Sword alongside the Crimson Sky Ruler to hold off Crimson Demon True Monarch’s Heavenly Demons and Ghost Emperors.
• Yun Yuan True Monarch nearly defeated Wu Fa True Monarch and rushed for the treasures, but a Blood Mirror Heavenly Demon pulled him into mirror space.

Wu Fa True Monarch tried to escape after the battle at the palace, but Ye Jingcheng and the other Nascent Soul Cultivators repeatedly pinned him down. With his escape routes closing, Wu Fa True Monarch threw a Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure and a token toward Crimson Demon True Monarch to keep them from falling into the Righteous Path Sect’s hands.

• Wu Fa True Monarch blocked Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Transformation Talisman with a sixth-rank bone needle, but Ye Jingcheng and his Spirit Beasts attacked while the Five Aspects Heaven Suppressing Array trapped him.
• Wu Fa True Monarch used a Domain Breaking Talisman and Blood Escape Talisman to slip past Ye Jingcheng and the others, but Crimson Demon True Monarch’s spirit treasure divine light immobilized him.
• Crimson Demon True Monarch’s Heavenly Demons attacked Wu Fa True Monarch, who used Shape-shifting and Shadow-swapping to evade them until Purple Firmament True Monarch cut off his lower body and took his storage bag.
• Purple Firmament True Monarch found no Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure in the bag and joined the pursuit, while Ye Jingcheng continued attacking Wu Fa True Monarch.
• As Yun Yuan True Monarch’s Golden Light Treasure Bell struck his divine sense, Wu Fa True Monarch revealed a second storage bag containing a Heaven Reaching Spirit Treasure and a token, then threw it toward Crimson Demon True Monarch.
