• The distorted space shattered and formed an enormous door that tempted Chu He to enter its hidden world.
• The door revealed nine trials offering chances to reach the Dao Venerable and Heaven Treading realms, with deadly risks in the final trials.
• Chu He ignored the invitation, prepared seals and a spatial taboo sphere, and refused the door’s request to remove his precautions.

Chu He sealed the mysterious door’s space and watched it try to persuade him while he barbecued. Meanwhile, the Dao Venerable clans united to divide the East Cang Domain’s opportunities and ordered every clan to report discovered Secret Realms and cave dwellings or face extermination.

Over ten years, Chu He expanded the Ancient Forbidden Ground across the Barbarian Domain and reached the fourth level of the Sixth Turn while the Dao Venerable clans enforced peace through strict rules. After visiting the East Cang Domain and catching up with Chen Xiaoyao, Chu He’s chapter ended as a violent vortex opened beneath a boat on Cloud Lake.

• Chu He returned to the East Cang Domain, met Chen Xiaoyao at his horse business, and listened to stories about treasure struggles.
• A vortex erupted in Cloud Lake, dragged a boat and its four passengers underwater, and intensified as waves surged across the lake.

Human Clan experts tried to conceal a powerful inheritance emerging from Cloud Lake after Lin Teng's family was swallowed by the anomaly. The formation failed as a black palace emerged, exposing the Secret Realm's ancient aura and leaving the Human Clan's secrecy at risk.

• Saint Venerable Xia Ji learned that Lin Teng's family had been swallowed by the Cloud Lake anomaly and ordered the area sealed off.
• Kongming Great Sage ordered the Human Clan to conceal the Secret Realm, secure Cloud Lake, and send Night Venerable to inform the Dao Ancestor.
• For nearly a month, Kongming Great Sage, Great Sage Lingyu, and other Saint Venerables struggled to contain the growing fluctuations from Cloud Lake.
• The lake's vortex stopped, the water vanished, and a black hole opened as the Saint Venerables braced for the final surge.
• A dark beam pierced the isolation formation, and a jet-black palace emerged from the black hole.

Night Venerable hurried to Liangchuan to warn Chu He about the inheritance Secret Realm but crashed into the Barbarian Domain’s changed rules. Meanwhile, the Kun Clan discovered traces of the Xia Clan in the Human Realm and prepared to attack, leaving the Human Clan mobilizing for war as the Kun Clan declared it must be exterminated.

• Night Venerable rushed toward Liangchuan, struck the Barbarian Domain’s changed rules, and crashed through a station, where Chu He revived him and heard his warning.

• Human Clan members despaired at the threat but rallied themselves to fight, vowing to resist even if they died.
• The returning Kun Clan Sage Venerable reported that the Human Clan had shown killing intent, and the Kun Clan Great Sage declared that the Human Clan must be exterminated.

The Kun Clan brought an overwhelming force to the Human Realm, intending to exterminate the Human Clan and intimidate the East Cang Domain. As their combined attack struck the Human Realm’s defenses, a white-haired figure rushed in, claiming the Human Clan also had a Dao Venerable and calling for negotiation.

• The Kun Clan assembled a Ninth Level Great Sage, three Eighth Level Great Sages, and dozens of Saint Venerables, then ordered nearby clans to join its assault on the Human Clan.

• A white-haired figure rushed toward the Human Realm, shouting that there was room for negotiation and that the Human Clan also had a Dao Venerable.

Night Venerable returned as the Kun Clan threatened the Human Realm, but a disturbance from the black palace drove them back and drew Chu He’s attention. After the palace’s inhabitant attacked Chu He through Zi Yan’s token, Chu He used his power to confront it and released an arrow at the palace.

• Night Venerable arrived as the Kun Clan’s combined strike cracked the Human Realm’s grand formation.

• The golden phantom struck the palace until its inhabitant offered to release Lin Teng and his family.
• Chu He drew the Sun-Splitting Bow and fired an arrow at the pitch-black palace.

Chu He launched a blazing arrow that crossed the realms and struck the Nether being’s palace, while his consciousness phantom seized the being’s beast form. The attack shattered nine Kun Clan Saint Venerables and left the palace cracking as the Nether being cried out in terror.

• A red arrow tore across the sky from East Lin City toward Liangchuan, terrifying people and disrupting those who flew nearby.

After sensing that ancient beings and monsters were growing more dangerous, Chu He decided to hunt in inheritance Secret Realms and strengthen himself with the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. He traveled to Liangchuan and reeled in a Skeleton Tiger, which recognized him as a member of the Human Clan.

• Chu He’s hook dragged the Skeleton Tiger through the bronze gates and across the void, and the tiger recognized Chu He as Human Clan.

Chu He spent ten years fishing ancient beings and treasures from across the East Cang Domain while consolidating the Barbarian Domain. As strange inheritances awakened and danger gathered, the Human Clan’s leaders moved their people to Liangchuan, where they believed their golden age would begin.

• The Human Clan gathered its resources as it traveled to Liangchuan, while other clans watched enviously but were restrained from interfering.

As the Human Clan took over Liangchuan, Chu He uncovered signs that the Eastern Wasteland was beginning a vast, dangerous merger. He began restoring the foreign clans trapped in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, leaving them hopeful that he had a use for them.

• Chu He pulled up the clans who had cursed him, reforged their bones, restored their souls, and strengthened their bodies with treasures and pills.
• The foreign clans watched Chu He heal their fellows, and the restored skeletons stopped cursing and offered to serve him.

Chu He spent five years restoring the foreign races before moving them into the second floor of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, then completed his third Super Sign-in. He received a Violet-Gold World Suppressing Cauldron and left ready to begin another period of secluded cultivation.

• Great Sage Lingyu urged Kongming Great Sage to use the lull to cultivate and grow stronger.

After sixty years of secluded cultivation, Chu He stood on the brink of breaking through to the Seventh Turn while the Xia Clan flourished in Lin Commandery. As small domains drifted toward the East Cang Domain, the Human Clan prepared to evacuate Liangchuan, but the Xia Clan stayed behind, and the Hunjiang Clan identified a place they believed would bring their clan great prosperity.

• Chu He reached the complete ninth layer of the Sixth Turn and continued absorbing treasures to build strength before breaking through.

• Old Hunjiang urged the hesitant King to keep advancing and seize the opportunity despite the danger.

After sixty years of cultivation, Chu He reached the Seventh Turn and checked on the beasts and prisoners surviving in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. At the Barbarian Domain’s edge, the Hunjiang Clan discovered that humans could stand where their scout was gravely injured, and its Great Elder wondered whether the humans had taken control of the place.

Chu He's breakthrough with the World Suppressing Cauldron transformed Lin Commandery and helped many cultivators advance. He then reached the Barbarian Domain's edge, where the Hunjiang Clan's beasts were still chasing the mounted Xia Clan Old Ancestors.

• Chu He sensed Zhao Yuling, Lin Xueling, Meng Yi, Lin Teng, and other people benefiting from his breakthrough and advancing their cultivation.
• A young man in Lin City gained strength enough to shatter bluestone with one punch, while a newborn arrived with a jade piece in his mouth.

• Chu He observed the World Suppressing Cauldron absorb the breakthrough ripples and improve the land of Lin Commandery.
• At the Barbarian Domain's edge, the Hunjiang Clan's beasts chased the mounted Xia Clan Old Ancestors, while the Great Elder urged the king to stay and watch the race.

Chu He secretly captured the Hunjiang Clan's king, Great Elder, and their companions while watching the chase in the Barbarian Domain. The Human Clan cavalry turned to fight and drove the remaining Hunjiang toward the domain's edge, where they found their leaders missing and discovered they could not escape.

• Chu He silently subdued the Hunjiang Clan's king and Great Elder, took their Chaos Bead, and stored them and the other Hunjiang in his Universe Pouch.

• The Hunjiang reached the edge, found the Great Elder and the others gone, and discovered they could not leave.

• Chu He cleared strange creatures from incoming continents and absorbed ruined small domains into the Barbarian Domain, sending surviving weak beings to the East Cang Domain.
