The Heavenly River and the other Human Clan ships remained isolated and under dire threat, while Zhao Baiyi’s attempt to join her seniors’ sword strike was interrupted by Chu He, who had appeared aboard the ship.

The Divine Sword Sect unleashed a divine sword strike that tore through the void and rushed toward the Rock Clan’s flagship, where four Evil Eyes were besieging Yan Shan.

• The descending divine sword overwhelmed the four Evil Eyes with fear and shattered their Dao paths, while Ancestor Yanshan and the Pang Xiong Clan huddled in terror.
• The Divine Sword Sect members realized they were wielding the sword in seamless unity, with Zhao Baiyi holding the main sword, and saw the Origin Realm experts cowering beneath it.

• The four Evil Eyes plunged through the void opened by their tears to escape the sword.
• Chu He laughed, flicked a finger, and sent the Evil Eye he had captured into the torn void after them.

Chu He revealed that the sword strike had been an opportunity for Zhao Baiyi and the Divine Sword Sect, then gave Zhao Baiyi the small silver sword and instructed the fleet to continue into the Great World of Xuanyang.

Chu He watched a Divine Sword Sect elder risk his consciousness to overcome his fear of breaking through to the Origin Realm, while he began taking a more active role in Human Clan affairs. After the fleet’s attack left the Silver Wolf destroyed, Yan Shan suspected the Human Clan had concealed the real reason for the ambush and considered shifting the blame to Chu He’s ship.

• Chu He noticed a peak Heavenly Saint elder attempting to cut away the fear rooted in his consciousness with the aura of Little Sword’s origin, and he isolated the elder so he could not be disturbed.
• Chu He reflected that his growing strength and status meant he could no longer avoid acting on behalf of the Human Clan, and he was eager to confront the forces that had once intimidated him.
• The fleet resumed its journey with three ships: the Silver Wolf had been destroyed, the Yan Shan needed repairs, and the other two warships remained intact.
• Yan Shan worried that the Sky Wolf Clan would blame him for the Silver Wolf’s destruction, then questioned why Chu He had not intervened earlier or stopped the four escaping Evil Eyes.
• Yan Shan suspected the ambush had been premeditated and wondered whether the hidden Human Clan elder and the Heavenly River had been its true target.

After five Origin Realm Evil Eyes attacked the fleet and then collapsed their own souls, Chu He suspected they were part of a larger plot rather than ordinary starry-sky bandits. He searched and cleansed the sealed void, then set Mirror Stones to watch it as the strange incident remained unresolved.

• Little Beast Baiju said the five Evil Eyes felt familiar despite having no memory of them.
• Chu He discovered that the five Evil Eyes had collapsed from within and could only recover five green crystal stones from them.
• Chu He questioned Little Beast Baiju about rebirth and found no trace of consciousness left by the Evil Eyes.
• Chu He burned and compressed the sealed void, then fed it to Little Beast Baiju for safekeeping.
• Chu He concluded that the Evil Eyes were not ordinary bandits and placed three Mirror Stones to monitor the recovering void.

Chu He kept the five green crystal eye stones and escorted the fleet toward the Great World of Xuanyang while a Divine Sword Sect Elder prepared to break through to the Origin Realm. As the fleet paused at the world’s border, the Elder began his breakthrough, and Chu He invited the fleet’s swordsmen to share in the experience through Little Sword.

• Chu He decided to keep the five eye stones to feed to wicked Great Generals in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, while Ancestor Yanshan resolved to avoid involvement and report what had happened later.
• Chu He estimated that the Divine Sword Sect Elder would soon break through, and the fleet underwent increasingly strict inspections as it approached the Great World of Xuanyang.
• A Nine-tailed Celestial Fox inspected the fleet and let it pass, while Chu He asked for a brief delay so the Elder would not break through while entering the world.
• Zhao Baiyi relayed Chu He’s request, and the fleet stopped as Chu He raised a protective barrier around the ship and released the Elder’s concealed aura.
• The Elder’s Sword Intent surged across the starry sky, and Chu He told Zhao Baiyi to let everyone enter the divine sword and share in the Peerless Sword God’s breakthrough.

Li Changfeng broke through into the Origin Realm, and his sword intent startled Yan Shan and the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox discovered that a Human Clan foundation powerhouse was protecting the Celestial River Warship, then withdrew without approaching.

• Li Changfeng's breakthrough sent sword intent across the starry sky, forcing distant fortresses to activate their defenses and startling Yan Shan.
• Yan Shan recognized Li Changfeng and concluded that a secret aboard the Celestial River Warship had helped him resume his stalled cultivation.
• The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox sensed danger from Li Changfeng's sword intent and decided that befriending him could be beneficial.
• The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox traveled to the Celestial River Warship and saw everyone aboard cultivating safely during Li Changfeng's breakthrough.
• The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox suspected Chu He was protecting the ship as a Human Clan foundation powerhouse and retreated without greeting him.

Li Changfeng began breaking into the Origin Realm as the Divine Sword Sect watched and learned from his Sword Intent. Chu He detected and extracted the hidden cause of Li Changfeng’s trouble, and the creature identified Little Beast Baiju as belonging to the Di Chun Clan before reacting to its claim of being from the Celestial Clan.

• The Divine Sword Sect elders and disciples sensed Li Changfeng’s breakthrough and resumed comprehending the Origin Sword Intent.
• Li Changfeng’s Sword Intent filled the starry sky with swords, while Chu He protected the two Star Alliance warships from the danger.
• As the swords gathered into Li Changfeng’s blade, Chu He roasted Little Beast Baiju to draw out the hidden entity affecting Li Changfeng.
• Chu He’s consciousness swept over Li Changfeng, disrupting his breakthrough briefly but extracting a mass of black shadow from him.
• The black shadow called Little Beast Baiju an ignorant junior of the Di Chun Clan, and Baiju said it was Heavenly Clan Bai Ju transformed by an accident.
• The black shadow was startled by Baiju’s claim and seemed to understand something.

Chu He captured a black shadow and learned that it belonged to one of the Eight Ancient Clans, while Little Beast Baiju was tied to the Di Chun Clan. When Little Beast Baiju warned that the clan’s name must not be spoken, a giant in a distant starfield stirred, leaving Chu He wary of what might be awakening.

• Chu He realized the black shadow knew secrets about the Celestial Clan and decided to take it home for questioning.
• The black shadow provoked Chu He and revealed the existence of the Eight Ancient Clans, prompting him to wonder how they had fallen and whether they caused the chaos across the realms.
• In a distant starfield, the words “Di Chun Clan” awakened a colossal figure, which roared urgently for something not to come through before falling quiet.
• Little Beast Baiju warned the black shadow not to speak the clan’s name and told Chu He that saying it made him feel something bad would happen.
• Chu He sensed the warning came from Little Beast Baiju’s bloodline and soul, and reflected that its reach across the realms surpassed his own ability to sense when his name was spoken.

Chu He sealed the black shadow and watched Li Changfeng overcome his long-standing barrier to reach the Origin Realm. After Li Changfeng thanked him, Chu He reconsidered the Evil Eyes’ motives, then decided it was better to ask a storyteller than keep guessing.

• Chu He sealed the black shadow inside his fingertip so it could not commit suicide and planned to question it later.
• Li Changfeng overcame his fear and finally stabilized his Origin sword path, reaching the Origin Realm after years of failed attempts.
• Li Changfeng’s sword merged with him, and the Divine Sword Sect disciples’ blades rang in unison as Chu He dispersed the breakthrough’s force.
• Li Changfeng thanked Chu He for helping him break through, then said he knew of nothing special about the fleet.
• Chu He suspected the five Evil Eyes might belong to one of the Eight Ancient Clans and wondered what they had wanted, but stopped speculating and decided to find a storyteller.

After the Tianhe Fleet entered the Great World of Xuanyang, Chu He questioned a sentient snowy mountain and followed its directions toward a place that had called to it. Meanwhile, Zhao Baiyi prepared to enter the Battle of the Ten Thousand Races' Heavenly Road, determined to rise through the sword Dao.

• Chu He sensed that the Great World of Xuanyang surpassed Nine Realms Mountain and left the fleet alone.
• Chu He stopped a sentient snowy mountain's soul-piercing winds and asked whether it knew a place connected to the Celestial Clan.
• The snowy mountain described brief calls from a distant place and showed Chu He its location, so he headed there.
• Li Changfeng noticed Chu He had left, while Zhao Baiyi resolved to honor his gift of the divine sword and grow strong enough to meet him again.
• The chapter explained that the once-in-ten-thousand-years Heavenly Road gathered prodigies from many races, and that the Divine Sword Sect's candidates had come to the Great World of Xuanyang to compete for a chance to ascend it.

Chu He arrived at the Snow Mountain Guidance Grounds and cowed the Origin Realm experts gathered in the giant city with a glimpse of his foundation-level power. The shaken experts demanded an explanation from the Great World of Xuanyang, while the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox realized its earlier suspicions had been correct.

• Chu He sensed seventeen Origin Realm auras around the giant city, including those of Li Changfeng and Yan Shan.
• Several Origin Realm experts sent their consciousness toward Chu He to warn him against probing them, but Yan Shan chose not to join them.
• Chu He’s golden figure appeared and his cold snort inflicted stabbing pain on the experts who had confronted him, forcing them to apologize.
• Clan elders and younger disciples in the city saw the Origin Ancestors beg for forgiveness and realized a being beyond their understanding had arrived.
• The Origin Ancestors blamed the Great World of Xuanyang for failing to warn them and demanded an explanation from the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, who recognized that its earlier suspicion had been right.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox struggled to understand how Chu He had entered the Great World of Xuanyang and retained his strength, while Chu He searched the giant city for Celestial Clan members and investigated a mysterious otherworldly realm. After Little Beast Baiju released its aura, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox began to suspect Chu He's true power might differ from what it had assumed and saw a possible opportunity for its clan.

• The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox feared the World Will could not restrain Chu He and worried that the Human Clan might take control of the Great World of Xuanyang.
• Chu He searched the giant city for Celestial Clan members and noticed an unopened otherworldly realm that he could not see through.
• Chu He released Little Beast Baiju and had it spread its aura to draw out any nearby Celestial Clan members.
• The Origin Realm experts sensed that Baiju's aura was weaker than Chu He's apparent strength, but most chose not to investigate.
• The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox suspected Chu He's power might lie in his consciousness and soul, and considered whether his presence could help its clan rise again.

Chu He followed Qingqiu Qianqian after suspecting the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was trying to lure him, then the Great World of Xuanyang’s will briefly stopped him at a special region’s boundary. Qingqiu Qianqian took the disturbance as confirmation that Chu He was the unusual powerhouse its clan had been seeking and believed the initiative was now its own.

• Chu He noticed Qingqiu Qianqian leave the giant city and secretly followed it, hoping to ask about the Celestial Clan.
• Qingqiu Qianqian used a blood-red bronze mirror to confirm Chu He’s overwhelming soul consciousness and ordinary Origin Realm aura, and celebrated the chance to secure its clan’s opportunity.
• Chu He observed Qingqiu Qianqian’s excitement and kept following, while it continued toward a special region.
• The world’s pressure forced Chu He to retreat at the boundary, so he sent Little Beast Baiju back toward the giant city and continued alone.
• Qingqiu Qianqian sensed the brief disturbance in the World Will and concluded that Chu He had followed it and that its guess about him was correct.
• Qingqiu Qianqian feared Chu He’s hidden pursuit briefly, then relaxed, believing the World Will had stopped him and left the advantage with the fox.

Chu He secretly entered the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan’s grand hall and overheard its Origin Realm experts plotting to use his exceptional soul consciousness in a clan ritual. As Qingqiu Nanfeng urged them to act immediately, Chu He revealed himself and told them to cherish the opportunity he had brought them.

• Chu He analyzed Qingqiu’s defenses, slipped past them, and followed Qingqiu Qianqian into the clan’s central grand hall.
• Chu He sat unnoticed on the empty highest throne while Qingqiu Nanfeng, Qingqiu Bai, and Qingqiu Qianqian discussed their plans.
• Qingqiu Qianqian confirmed that Chu He had extraordinary soul consciousness and that the World Will had verified it.
• Qingqiu Nanfeng proposed using the clan’s Soul Bell and beginning a sacrifice to restore the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan’s ancient glory.
• Qingqiu Nanfeng urged the others to act before their opportunity disappeared, and Chu He suddenly spoke from the throne.

Qingqiu Nanfeng, Qingqiu Qianqian, and Qingqiu Bai realized Chu He had followed them into the ancestral hall and activated its restrictions to force him to fight. Chu He revealed himself on a radiant road of starlight and promised to give the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan a fortuitous opportunity, though not the one they expected.

• Qingqiu Qianqian recognized the voice as Chu He's and warned Qingqiu Nanfeng and Qingqiu Bai that he had followed them.
• Qingqiu Nanfeng reasoned that Chu He would be vulnerable if he used Origin-level power and urged the others to lure him into attacking.

• Nine-tailed Celestial Fox disciples across Qingqiu Continent felt the disturbance and gathered near the ancestral hall, where the pressure held them back.
• Chu He ate the remaining red fruits as the three foxes prepared to fight, then appeared on a road of starlight and promised them a fortuitous opportunity unlike what they imagined.

Chu He appeared before the Three Foxes and overwhelmed them with his aura, but the World Will of the Great World of Xuanyang did not respond. As Qingqiu Nanfeng, Qingqiu Bai, and Qingqiu Qianqian feared for their clan, Chu He reassured them and asked about their plan to restore its ancient glory.

• Chu He revealed himself on the Path of Starry Sky, and his growing Origin Realm aura suppressed Qingqiu Nanfeng, Qingqiu Bai, and Qingqiu Qianqian.
• Qingqiu Nanfeng realized that the World Will had not reacted to Chu He's presence, despite his overwhelming aura.
• Qingqiu Bai blamed Qingqiu Qianqian for endangering the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, while Qingqiu Qianqian protested that she could not explain the World Will's failure.
• Chu He appeared on the throne, assured the Three Foxes that their lives and futures were safe, and asked them to explain their plan and their clan's former glory.
