• Qin Yang questioned whether Deity Transformation Daoists had died in the hinterland and what power had killed so many beings.

• Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing experienced strange visions and lost consciousness during their ascent before awakening in a vast land beneath a sea of Immortal Qi.
• An aged cultivator spoke behind Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing as dozens of figures appeared around them.

Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing discovered that the powerful figures gathered on the Flying Immortal Platform were ancient cultivators who had vanished after entering it thousands of years earlier.

Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing witnessed an apparent ascension at the Flying Immortal Platform, where their Time Sacred Artifacts reacted to the phenomenon. They found Hunyuan Divine Mansion’s Ning Feidao, but he did not recognize Zhuang Chuqing’s account that he had summoned descendants from several thousand years in the future.

• Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing watched Ancient Beings from different eras gather at the Flying Immortal Platform and wondered whether they were trapped in an illusion.

• Zhuang Chuqing explained that she had come to guide Ning Feidao out at his descendants’ request, but he insisted he had only just entered the Flying Immortal Platform and remembered no such message.

Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing failed to persuade Ning Feidao to leave the Flying Immortal Platform, so they decided to cultivate before facing the Nascent Soul True Persons outside. Qin Yang completed his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, while Zhuang Chuqing remained in secluded cultivation.

• Ning Feidao rejected Zhuang Chuqing's claim that the Hunyuan Divine Mansion had been destroyed and struck at her, but Qin Yang shielded her and escaped.

• Qin Yang's Golden Core became a Nascent Soul, opening his Primordial Spirit and forming a vast sea of consciousness.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing discovered they could not leave the Flying Immortal Platform, and their Sacred Artifacts failed to respond. As an Ancient Being followed an illusory figure toward Ascension to Immortality, the phenomenon turned into a catastrophic crimson-black upheaval.

• Zhuang Chuqing completed her Nascent Soul breakthrough while Qin Yang guarded her, and they set off together to leave the Flying Immortal Platform.
• Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing found that no matter how they traveled, they remained trapped in the same place and could not cross the platform's boundary.
• Qin Yang and Zhuang Chuqing tried using their Sacred Artifacts to escape, but the artifacts became unresponsive and resonated with the high platform.
• An illusory figure began ascending to immortality as an Ancient Being followed it upward, while Immortal Light enveloped the cultivators.
