Hu Qi was abducted to the White Emperor Palace, where the White Emperor recognized his hidden Dao Scenery Realm strength and tried to capture him. After three Dao Fruit Realm Dao Lords failed to rescue him, Hu Qi fought the White Emperor alone and finally cracked his crystalline shield with a sudden surge of power.

• The White Emperor revealed that he had seen through Hu Qi’s concealment and trapped him inside the White Emperor Palace, where the Time-Space Worm had brought him.

• The White Emperor’s clash with the three Dao Lords destroyed the Time-Space Worm and annihilated the Void Creatures around the palace.
• Hu Qi attacked the White Emperor after the rescue attempt failed, unleashed the Seed of the Sage and Lord of Infinity, and exchanged a hundred thousand blows with him without breaking his crystalline shield.
• Hu Qi’s aura suddenly surged, and his next punch struck the shield hard enough to spread cracks across it.

Hu Qi burned his Dao Seed and fought the white-haired youth in the White Emperor Palace, ultimately landing a devastating slash but failing to kill him. Hu Qi died and repeatedly revived through his Eternal Ring, remaining trapped in the palace as a weakened Pale Serpent.

• Hu Qi learned that Wan Gu Yi, the Lord of Time, the Lord of Karma, and the Lord of Truth were different versions of Wan Gu Yi from other timelines, and received a bead containing Dao Lord insights and breakthrough techniques.
• Hu Qi told Wan Gu Yi that White Emperor had been injured, then traveled to Yao Yue’s seventh layer and asked whether her promised Dao Crystals still counted.

Hu Qi collected the Dao Crystals owed to him, then discovered his avatar could refine them to advance its own Yuan Eye but could not share the gains with his trapped true body. Back in the White Emperor Palace, he studied Wan Gu Yi’s five inherited secret arts and asked Crimson to combine their strengths into a method that would purify his Dao Tree.

• After another eight thousand years, Hu Qi opened his eyes and declared that his cultivation was finally complete.

Hu Qi purified his Dao Tree and used the Scarlet Panel to reach the peak of the Wondrous Jade Realm, but the God Burying Void Crystal continued to grow denser and tighten its seal. He made what was likely his final visit to the Boundary Tower Dao Forum, then left with ten Dao Crystals from the Lord of Truth.

• After more than a thousand years inside the crystal, Hu Qi finished purifying his Dao Tree and modified the Divine Limit Heart Art to reach the peak of the Wondrous Jade Realm.
• Hu Qi’s breakthrough sent a surge of spirituality through his Cave Heaven World, while the crystal intensified its erosion and further weakened his connection to the True Spirit Gate.

Hu Qi perfected the Origin Eye of Delusion inside the God Burying Void Crystal, gaining the power to voidify and analyze reality and a way to move through his prison. Rather than escaping immediately, he reached the peak of the Wondrous Jade Realm and triggered a Dao Fruit tribulation that battered the White Emperor Palace, leaving Long Si to face a storm of external calamities.

• Hu Qi absorbed the Dao Crystals, left the Boundary Tower, and the other Dao Lords recognized that his departure meant he had been permanently sealed away.

• Hu Qi reached the peak of the Wondrous Jade Realm and triggered a Dao Fruit External Tribulation from within the crystal.
• Long Si sensed the tribulation outside the White Emperor Palace as successive lightning, fire, wind, and other calamities struck and damaged it.

Hu Qi used the God Burying Void Crystal to endure the External Tribulations of his advance to the Dao Fruit Realm, forcing Long Si to abandon the White Emperor Palace. As Hu Qi prepared to face his internal tribulation, he used the Origin Eye of Delusion to find a black thread of Inner Demon Tribulation rooted in his Cave Heaven World.

• Hu Qi’s External Tribulations battered the God Burying Void Crystal but could not reach him, and Long Si failed to suppress them as they grew stronger.
• Dozens of Dao Lord imprints appeared as External Tribulations and attacked the crystal, while Long Si fought them off and then left the White Emperor Palace.
• Long Si declared the area forbidden and resolved to accelerate his corrosion of the Origin Realm after the tribulations drove him from his residence.
• Hu Qi ignored the chaos outside and focused on identifying the internal tribulation forming within him.
• Hu Qi used the Origin Eye of Delusion to examine himself and discovered a writhing black thread of Inner Demon Tribulation rooted in his Cave Heaven World.

Hu Qi used the Origin Eye of Delusion to glimpse the Scarlet Panel’s terrifying true form, then located his brewing Internal Tribulation inside the material world of his Cave Heaven. There, he encountered Lin Dao and the powerful remnant soul called Sister Ling as they tried to flee a mysterious threat.

• Hu Qi saw a black ring containing a dormant red light while examining his origins, and realized it was likely the Scarlet Panel’s true form; the vision injured his Origin Eye of Delusion.
• Hu Qi traced his Internal Tribulation to the material world within his Cave Heaven and focused his will there, hoping to deal with it at its source.
• In World 302, a demon-like figure drained the essence from a corpse while Luocheng lay under a blood-red canopy.
• Lin Dao executed servants who tried to flee Lin Manor, then spoke with Sister Ling about surviving the demons that had killed his father.
• A strange presence froze the scene at Lin Manor, and Sister Ling summoned a peacock phantom to carry Lin Dao away.
• Hu Qi appeared and watched Lin Dao escape through the roof, then challenged him and Sister Ling’s remnant soul to flee from him.

Hu Qi discovered that Lin Dao was a Calamity Child destined to attack Heaven, but killing him and other Calamity Children only made the Inner Tribulation grow stronger. As Hu Qi pursued more Calamity Children, the Boundary Tower outside began to fail, and an immense clockwork gear turned time backward across the Origin Realm.

• Hu Qi destroyed the fiery peacock, killed the Red-dressed Woman after extracting her memories, and learned that Lin Dao was the Calamity Child who would attack Heaven.
• Hu Qi killed Lin Dao, but the Inner Tribulation remained and intensified, so he used the Origin Eye of Delusion to find and eliminate other Calamity Children.
• Hu Qi killed Calamity Children with varied powers and origins, including a young girl whose emotional system he extracted and crushed.
• The Inner Tribulation expanded across nearly half the Cave Heaven World, and Hu Qi continued toward the next Calamity Child, intending to let the tribulation grow until it erupted.
• Outside the Cave Heaven World, nearly a thousand years passed as the Boundary Tower cracked under an assault by Void Creatures and Source Calamity Gray Mist.
• An immense clockwork gear appeared above the Origin Realm and turned time backward, restoring the Boundary Tower, stars, and destroyed lives while drawing the gray mist back into its rifts.

Wan Gu Yi confronted Long Si and the two Origin Realm Dao Lords who had betrayed their realm, then unleashed a combined assault with the Lord of Karma and the Lord of Truth. Meanwhile, Hu Qi entered a technological civilization, destroyed its Saint Star Mecha, and sensed that a different Calamity Child had appeared; at the end, two Void Creatures guarding Hu Qi’s tribulation site noticed something in the distance.

• Two Void Creatures guarding the site of Hu Qi’s External Tribulation discussed the danger there before Xiao Ming stared toward something that caught their attention.

Hu Qi devoured a Calamity Child who had once been a peak Dao Fruit Realm Dao Lord, gaining his memories and learning that he had died after entering the True Spirit Gate. Meanwhile, Long Si recovered from his battle with Wan Gu Yi as the Source Calamity ravaged the Origin Realm, and he sensed that the External Tribulations had vanished.

• The External Tribulations surrounding the black crystal coffin vanished, and Long Si learned that the thirteen Dao Lords who escaped the Boundary Tower were still missing.

• Hu Qi learned from the Calamity Child's memories that he had been Mirror Lord, a peak Dao Fruit Realm Dao Lord who died after entering the True Spirit Gate.

After learning from the Mirror Lord that the True Spirit Gate might lead to transcendence, Hu Qi advanced to the Dao Fruit Realm. The True Spirit Gate briefly revealed the Great Dao imprints to living beings across the Sea of Sumeru, and Hu Qi left the God Burying Void Crystal intent on killing Long Si.

• The True Spirit Gate, weakened and corroded by darkness, shook when the Lord of Infinity's name blazed and briefly revealed countless Great Dao imprints across the Origin Realm and the Sea of Sumeru.

• Hu Qi used his Modification Points to enhance the Divine Limit Heart Art, transformed into a vast Dharma Form, and headed deeper into the Void Sea rather than returning directly to the Origin Realm.
• Long Si learned that Hu Qi had escaped and was moving into the Void Sea, then welcomed the chance to test his strength and vowed to kill and seal him again.

Long Si sent Xi Ruiya, accompanied by Miao Yuan and Miao Shan, to capture the newly advanced Lord of Infinity, while Wan Gu Yi and his allies resolved to make a final effort to aid Hu Qi. When Wan Gu Yi found Hu Qi in the Void Sea, Hu Qi revealed power beyond the Dao Fruit Realm, healed the three hidden Dao Lords from afar, and declared that he would soon bring out the True Spirit Gate to end everything.

• Hu Qi concluded that Long Si would likely act personally after the three subordinates’ deaths and spent eight million Modification Points to raise the Divine Limit Heart Art toward its thirty-sixth layer.

Hu Qi reached the peak of the Dao Fruit Realm and continued through the Source Calamity toward the True Spirit Gate. After discovering the Dragon Lord’s remains, he absorbed part of its Dragon Yuan and empowered Xiao Bai and Camphor Tea Duck before arriving at the gate, now covered in black matter.

• Hu Qi reached the Dao Fruit Realm’s limit and realized his realm could no longer advance, though his power could keep growing through devouring.

• The surviving Beast Tamers fled, and the black-armored man’s red eye-lights faded as faint white glimmers appeared.

Long Si revived through hidden will seeds after Hu Qi defeated him, but Hu Qi hunted down each incarnation and devoured the worlds they inhabited. Long Si’s final incarnation offered Hu Qi a way to transcend the collapsing dimension, but Hu Qi devoured him anyway.

After repairing the Boundary Tower and entering seclusion, he questioned his captive Long Si and learned that transcendence meant passing through the Spirit Gate to reach the True Spirit Realm, also called the True World.

• Long Si explained that their dimension was a projection of the True Spirit Realm and that transcendence required passing through the Spirit Gate to reach the True World.

Long Si told Hu Qi that the True World was a higher dimension and explained the True Spirit level, its immortality, and the dangers of ascending dimensions. Unsure whether Long Si could be trusted, Hu Qi sealed him away and used the Origin Eye of Delusion to examine the True Spirit Gate for a safer way forward.

• Long Si revealed that the True World contained the true Spirit Realm and that countless lower dimensions formed and vanished beneath it.
• Long Si described the True Spirit level as a realm beyond transcendence, where beings became unique, reality-shaping existences that could not be completely killed.
• Long Si admitted he could not explain why Hu Qi could not be killed, and Hu Qi connected his survival to the Cosmic Coiling Serpent's Eternal Ring talent.
• Long Si warned that ascending dimensions without his help would lead to death because the True World rejected beings from lower dimensions, and he claimed he could help Hu Qi bypass that restriction.
• Long Si said the Source Calamity could not be destroyed and that revealing more might alert the Void Sea Origin; Hu Qi then sealed him away.
• Hu Qi considered the risk of entering the True World and used the Origin Eye of Delusion to examine the True Spirit Gate.
