Chen Fei rescued Peng Huaitao and two others, returned to Thousand Feather City, and claimed Celestial Spirit Fungus as his reward. After hearing that Weirds were appearing more often, he entered the Heart Strange Realm to gather Mind Wraith Source for condensing his Spirit Flower, where a Tier 3 Late Stage Mind Wraith suddenly weakened and vanished.

• Chen Fei found a Tier 3 Late Stage Mind Wraith whose power rapidly declined as black mist poured from its body, then watched it vanish.

Chen Fei investigated Mind Wraiths in the Heart Strange Realm and worried that they might be entering the Thousand Feather Alliance. After processing a Mind Wraith Source and using the Innocent Compass Method to condense his Second Spirit Flower, he broke through to Aperture Unification Eighth Revolution.

• Chen Fei saw a Tier 3 Mind Wraith vanish through a tear in space and suspected that Mind Wraiths were reaching the Thousand Feather Alliance through the Heart Strange Realm.
• Chen Fei killed another Tier 3 Late Stage Mind Wraith and processed its source, filtering out the black qi before absorbing the purified remainder.

• Chen Fei endured the strain as the Second Ring settled onto his aperture, strengthening his mind and improving his perception of his soul.
• Chen Fei absorbed the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surging into his body and advanced from Aperture Unification Seventh Revolutions to Eighth Revolution.

After reaching the Aperture Unification Eighth Revolution, Chen Fei refined his control over his power and searched for Spiritual Materials to condense the Third Flower. He found two rare ingredients for sale in Bianhu City, where Nie Xinru offered him two ways to obtain them.

• Chen Fei emerged from seclusion, and Tong Linyun sensed that his cultivation had improved again.
• Chen Fei asked Chang Yuanyin to find two rare Spiritual Materials and offered him a Star Spirit Pill in exchange.
• Chen Fei traveled to Bianhu City and learned that a shop had Green Vine Dew and Purple Rhythm Saliva for sale.
• Nie Xinru met Chen Fei and offered two methods for obtaining the Spiritual Materials, but Chen Fei asked only for their price in Primordial Stones.

He joined a Thousand Feather Alliance force sent to destroy Fallen Sky Pavilion, whose mountain gate formation was shattered by a giant palm.

• Chen Fei exchanged the Shadow Obscuring Pearl, Azure Mist Dew, and additional essence stones with Nie Xinru for Green Vine Dew and Purple Rhythm Saliva.
• Chen Fei inspected a nearby cave and found signs that someone had been sacrificed on an altar, then returned to Thousand Feather City and updated Chang Yuanyin about his materials list.
• Over the following weeks, Chen Fei advanced several techniques, including reaching Great Perfection in Innate Teleportation, while failing to find the remaining Spiritual Materials he needed.
• The Mission Hall summoned Chen Fei and Tong Linyun, and they joined a force of Aperture Unification Realm cultivators ordered to destroy Fallen Sky Pavilion.
• Gu Danying led the gathered cultivators to surround Fallen Sky Pavilion, and a giant palm shattered its mountain gate formation.

The Thousand Feather Alliance attacked Fallen Sky Pavilion, whose hidden strength included three Aperture Unification Realm Peak experts, but Haiyue Zhenren and the Alliance’s overwhelming forces kept the sect’s destruction inevitable. While others fought and sought rewards, Chen Fei slipped into a protected mountain area to search for the Spiritual Materials he needed for his next breakthrough.

• Haiyue Zhenren shattered Fallen Sky Pavilion’s outer formation, and Gu Danying led the Alliance’s cultivators into the attack.
• Chen Fei joined the assault while considering Fallen Sky Pavilion’s techniques and searching for two Spiritual Materials for the Innocent Compass Method’s Third Flower.
• Fallen Sky Pavilion revealed three Aperture Unification Realm Peak experts, and Jiang Xiuming was seriously injured before joining the other Peak experts against them.
• Chen Fei left the main battle and examined a protected area in the mountain range while five cultivators attacked its restriction.
• Chen Fei found a concealed gap in the restriction and entered the protected area without alerting the five attackers.

Chen Fei searched Fallen Sky Pavilion for the Spiritual Materials he needed, gathering supplies from its Pill Refining Pavilion before targeting a mountain peak. He secured damaged Heavenly Heart Fruit and Water Essence Lotus for his breakthrough just as Qin Bingxiu activated a formation that plunged the entire mountain gate into darkness.

• Chen Fei avoided the Pill Refining Pavilion’s traps, collected valuable materials, and strengthened its weakening restrictions to delay the cultivators outside.
• Chen Fei left the pavilion and saw that the battle was nearing its end in the center, while other groups remained stalled by Fallen Sky Pavilion’s restrictions.
• Chen Fei went to a mountain peak containing many Spiritual Materials and helped attack its outer restriction alongside the other cultivators.
• Haiyue Zhenren left after learning that three sea demon kings were charging toward Thousand Feather City.

• Qin Bingxiu struck the ground and activated a formation that enveloped Fallen Sky Pavilion in darkness.

Fallen Sky Pavilion’s formation transported Chen Fei and the others into a strange realm where the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi drained their strength and deadly supernatural phenomena attacked them. Chen Fei searched for a way out, while two other cultivators found a grave bearing the Old Man’s name.

• Fallen Sky Pavilion’s formation activated, making everyone vanish before Haiyue Cave Abode destroyed the empty pavilion.
• Chen Fei found himself beneath a Blood Moon in a gray realm where he could not use the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and his elemental energy steadily drained away.
• A ghostly procession and an icy presence attacked Chen Fei, leaving him with severe wounds that he healed at the cost of much of his elemental energy.
• Chen Fei realized he had to find a way out and teleported in search of one.
• An Old Man and a younger Aperture Unification Realm cultivator explored a forest and discovered a Grave Mound bearing the Old Man’s name.

Chen Fei investigated the strange realm and discovered Miwang City, where residents were sacrificed to protect the city from Weirds. After entering, he sensed a mass of darkness overhead and realized he might be able to use his Space Grid Traits to absorb the realm’s tainted Heaven and Earth Essence Qi safely.

• Old Man and a young Aperture Unification Realm cultivator fled from a gravestone bearing Old Man’s name and the date of his death, but Old Man developed a deathly Aura and an earthy stench.
• A man in a green shirt heard a strange chopping sound and watched his companions—and then himself—separate into pieces as the group tried to avoid a Thatched Hut.
• Chen Fei used the Heavenly Eye to evade Weirds and found a city, then used the Dream Entering Art to learn that Miwang City’s residents were periodically sacrificed to protect the city.
• Chen Fei learned that a special item allowed some residents to absorb the realm’s tainted Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and he waited for other cultivators to enter before following them into the city.
• Inside Miwang City, Chen Fei saw pitch-black darkness overhead through Black and White Vision and considered using his Space Grid Traits to absorb pure Essence Qi after removing its foreign matter.

Chen Fei entered Miwang City and realized that Fallen Sky Pavilion was likely using the Strange Realm and its inhabitants to cultivate a Mountain Sea Realm. As the Aperture Unification Realm cultivators gathered with no sign of escape, a blood-red mist suddenly engulfed the city.

• Chen Fei concluded that he needed a special item to absorb the Strange Realm’s Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, then entered Miwang City and met the other Aperture Unification Realm cultivators.
• The cultivators learned that Miwang City’s former leaders had vanished, while Gu Danying and the other Aperture Unification Realm Peak cultivators remained missing.
• Chen Fei suspected Fallen Sky Pavilion was raising a Weird and using everyone in the Strange Realm as nourishment to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.
• More than thirty Aperture Unification Realm cultivators gathered in Miwang City, but none of the Peak cultivators arrived.
• A scream abruptly stopped, and Chen Fei saw blood-red mist spread through Miwang City beneath a crimson sky.

Chen Fei uncovered how the Butcher used abnormal Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to kill, then helped the cultivators destroy it and the Strange Bride. Meanwhile, Fallen Sky Pavilion used Sun Congshu’s spiritual essence to revive Chen Daoheng, who was asked who had killed him.

• The Butcher severed an Aperture Unification Realm cultivator’s future, and Chen Fei used his Heavenly Eye to discover that dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi suppressed the victim’s Yuan Power.
• Chen Fei warned the other cultivators to push away the abnormal Essence Qi, and they attacked the Butcher when it raised its blade.
• The Strange Bride appeared behind Chen Fei and called him her husband, but Chen Fei killed it with his Sword Blade.
• Chen Fei explained that the Butcher could be attacked while it struck, and the cultivators destroyed it with their combined attacks.
• Qin Bingxiu, Guo Xuanji, and Si Huayuan used Sun Congshu’s spiritual essence to awaken Chen Daoheng through Thousand Eye Strange.
• Chen Daoheng remembered his death at Chen Fei’s hands, and Qin Bingxiu asked him who had killed him.

After Fallen Sky Pavilion revived Chen Daoheng as a divine soul, he recounted how Chen Fei had killed him and Huang Yuheng and revealed the Black God Territory. Chen Daoheng learned that Fallen Sky Pavilion planned to use Shen Yuanjun, now an empty shell cultivated through the Nether River Record, to gain another Mountain Sea Realm expert.

• Chen Daoheng’s anger caused Black Lines to spread across his divine soul, so Si Huayuan and Guo Xuanji warned him to control his emotions.
• Qin Bingxiu questioned Chen Daoheng about his death near Haiyu City and the unfamiliar Yuan Chen Sword Sect, and Chen Daoheng learned that Huang Yuheng had also died.
• Chen Daoheng described Chen Fei’s overwhelming strength, the Black God Territory, and the powerful Mountain Sea Realm experts who had attacked it.
• Chen Daoheng recognized Shen Yuanjun on the altar, and Guo Xuanji revealed that Fallen Sky Pavilion had captured and killed him to create a chance for another Mountain Sea Realm expert.
• Guo Xuanji sent Chen Daoheng the Nether River Record, through which Chen Daoheng understood that Shen Yuanjun was an empty shell being strengthened and that the sect had fostered his enduring reputation to gather the will of sentient beings.

Fallen Sky Pavilion planned to use Shen Yuanjun’s shell and the Nether River Record to create a Mountain Sea Realm expert, then identified Chen Fei as another suitable target for its scheme. As the trapped cultivators struggled to find a way out of the Strange Realm, Chen Fei discovered that Fallen Sky Pavilion had begun tracking him and confronted Yan Gongli alone.

• Qin Bingxiu and the Fallen Sky Pavilion elders identified Chen Fei among the cultivators trapped in the Strange Realm and ordered Yan Gongli to find him while Guo Xuanji and two late-stage cultivators prepared to capture him.
• After Chen Fei warned the others of Butcher’s weakness and the group decided to wait for more cultivators before searching for a way out, Chen Fei tried unsuccessfully to break the Strange Realm’s control over Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
• Chen Fei sensed that the Strange Realm’s will was growing stronger, suggesting that trapped cultivators were dying and having their spiritual essence extracted.
• Chen Fei recognized a late-stage cultivator watching him in Miwang City as a member of Fallen Sky Pavilion, then followed Yan Gongli away from the city.
• Yan Gongli spotted Chen Fei and tried to fly away, but Chen Fei blocked his path.

Chen Fei confronted Yan Gongli inside the Strange Realm and defeated him with a single sword strike despite Fallen Sky Pavilion’s control over the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. He killed Yan Gongli after probing his damaged mind for information, then vanished as Guo Xuanji arrived.

• Yan Gongli attacked Chen Fei, relying on Fallen Sky Pavilion’s ability to command Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and suppress outsiders.
• Chen Fei forced away the surrounding Essence Qi, revealed his Aperture Unification Realm Late Stage cultivation, and unleashed four forbidden arts.
• Chen Fei shattered Yan Gongli’s Black Tortoise Stance with one sword and left him gravely wounded.
• Chen Fei damaged Yan Gongli’s mind, used the Dream Entering Art to probe him, and then killed him.
• Chen Fei absorbed Yan Gongli’s sword into the Qian Yuan Sword, took his supplies, and vanished as Guo Xuanji arrived and sensed Yan Gongli’s Aura had disappeared.

After killing Yan Gongli, Chen Fei hid his Aura and searched for a way to mobilize Heaven and Earth Essence Qi while locating Tong Linyun. Fallen Sky Pavilion’s leaders pursued him and learned that Gu Danying had escaped; the chapter ended with Chen Fei pulling Tong Linyun out of a Wall Painting and beginning to refine the Weird.

• Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping found Yan Gongli dead and suspected Chen Fei, but could not find his Aura in Miwang City.
• Guo Xuanji refused to use Shen Yuanjun’s power to locate Chen Fei, then left after learning Gu Danying had escaped confinement.
• Qin Bingxiu and another Fallen Sky Pavilion cultivator intercepted the badly wounded Gu Danying, who still held the Mountain Sea Blade Intent as his trump card.
• Chen Fei hid in a karst cave by changing his Aura with the Sea Demon Mark and studied a Wall Painting that had trapped Tong Linyun.
• Chen Fei cut Tong Linyun out of the painting, took a piece of the Wall Painting, and began refining the Weird to test the fragmented method he had obtained from Yan Gongli.

Chen Fei rescued Tong Linyun from the Strange Painting and began trying to refine it, while Fallen Sky Pavilion eliminated its opponents inside the Strange Realm. Gu Danying was captured after his final attack failed, leaving Shen Yuanjun’s advancement to the Mountain Sea Realm within reach.

• Chen Fei revealed himself to Tong Linyun, then changed his appearance and tried to refine a piece of the Strange Painting while she recovered.
• Gu Danying, exhausted after fleeing, faced Qin Bingxiu and two other Fallen Sky Pavilion cultivators and unleashed his Mountain Sea Realm saber intent.
• Gu Danying nearly killed Si Huayuan, but the Strange Realm’s Heaven and Earth Essence Qi blunted his attack, and he collapsed unconscious.
• Qin Bingxiu sealed Gu Danying and later killed Sheng Zequan with Fallen Sky Pavilion’s forces.
• Qin Bingxiu asked Guo Xuanji and another man who should receive the spiritual essence, while Shen Yuanjun prepared to reach the Mountain Sea Realm within five days.

After Yan Gongli confirmed that Chen Fei had killed him, Fallen Sky Pavilion unleashed the Weird across the Strange Realm to hunt the remaining cultivators. Chen Fei used the Strange Painting and Broken Ruler to mobilize Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, then successfully condensed his Third Flower and reached the Aperture Unification Realm Peak.

• Qin Bingxiu revived Yan Gongli, who identified Chen Fei as his killer and revealed that Chen Fei had reached the Aperture Unification Eighth Revolution with two flowers condensed.
• Guo Xuanji ordered the Weird to attack people throughout the Strange Realm so they could force Chen Fei out.

• With the Dragon Elephant Interface Point strengthening his aperture, Chen Fei completed the Three Flowers Converge on the Crown and attained the Aperture Unification Realm Peak.

Chen Fei broke through to Aperture Unification Realm Peak, awakened the Broken Ruler’s lingering mark, and discovered the incomplete Mountain Sea technique Suppress Dragon Elephant Suppress Soul. With a powerful will in the Strange Realm nearing transformation, he gave Tong Linyun the bead made from the Strange Painting and warned her not to absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

• Chen Fei reached Aperture Unification Realm Peak, bringing his physique to the strongest level below the Mountain Sea Realm and briefly sensing his divine soul.
• Chen Fei used divine soul power to activate the Broken Ruler, causing its former owner's lingering mark to vanish and revealing Suppress Dragon Elephant Suppress Soul on the Panel.
• Chen Fei simplified the incomplete technique into Suppress Dragon Elephant Suppress Spirit and began comprehending it, feeling his body, mind, and spirit start to change.
• Chen Fei crushed the Strange Painting and sensed that the will within the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi would transform within a few days.
• Chen Fei handed Tong Linyun the bead refined from the Strange Painting and told her she could use it to command the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi but must not absorb it.

Chen Fei rescued the cultivators trapped in Miwang City, killed the Weird besieging them, and captured the location of Fallen Sky Pavilion from two of its elders. He lured the Strange Realm’s Weird toward himself with the Control Spirit Art and his blood, leaving himself surrounded by them.

• Chen Fei killed a Tier 3 Late Stage Weird with the Broken Ruler while concealing his identity, then continued through the Strange Realm with Tong Linyun following behind.
