Wang Xian explained that Level 5 guilds could become sects or dynasties and described how Immortal Palace accepted members of other guilds under a rank-based benefit system. The others learned they could join Immortal Palace without leaving their own guilds, but Wang Xian could not use his Grand Elder rank to raise their statuses.

• Elder Long said the Evil Sects should be wiped out if possible and noted that each had an Epic BOSS guarding it.

• Wang Xian, Nangong Wu, Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Shadow, and Long Aotian found the equipment piled into five mountains at least a hundred meters high.

Wang Xian used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge a Mythical Grade longsword for Sword Twenty-Three, letting him choose its design and name. After the group fed the furnace a mountain of equipment, the forging progress reached its maximum, leaving Ink Sword ready to be born.

• Nangong Wu and the other guild leaders began removing outdated equipment from the Guild Warehouse while Wang Xian brought out the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
• Wang Xian had Sword Twenty-Three choose a black longsword engraved with an orchid and name it Ink Sword.
• Wang Xian set the sword's level and quality, then ordered Sword Twenty-Three, Long Aotian, Shadow, and Qin Zheng to keep feeding equipment into the furnace.
• The equipment in one mountain dwindled as the furnace's progress bar filled, and Wang Xian stopped the group once it reached its maximum.
• Sword Twenty-Three collapsed from exhaustion while Long Aotian, Qin Zheng, and Shadow glared at him.

Wang Xian and the others completed the Ink Sword in the Heaven and Earth Furnace, using blood and a vast amount of equipment to restore it after Wang Xian’s blood shattered it. As the sword’s progress reached completion, dark clouds gathered over the Immortal Palace and a massive bolt of lightning struck toward the furnace.

• Sword Twenty-Three proposed sacrificing himself to the Ink Sword, but Wang Xian warned him against the danger.
• Sword Twenty-Three and Long Aotian each contributed blood, causing the Ink Sword to absorb their blood and form dragon scales.
• Wang Xian added his blood, and the Ink Sword shattered, cutting its progress bar down to about half.
• Wang Xian ordered everyone to feed equipment into the furnace, and the Ink Sword reassembled as the progress bar filled.
• Dark clouds gathered over the Immortal Palace, and a water-bucket-thick bolt of lightning descended toward the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace exploded after Wang Xian's blood caused an unexpected reaction, but Ink Sword survived its final lightning trial and reached Mythical Grade (Superior). Wang Xian gave the sword to Sword Twenty-Three, who was stunned by its tremendous attributes.

• Thunder Pool pulled everyone away from the Heaven and Earth Furnace just before it exploded, and Wang Xian was injured by the blast.
• An ink-black longsword endured eight lightning strikes before a lightning dragon emerged from the clouds and attacked it.
• After the storm cleared, the sword flew to Wang Xian and hummed plaintively until he stroked its blade.
• Wang Xian inspected Ink Sword's attributes, found its attack power could exceed ten million, and handed it to Sword Twenty-Three.
• Sword Twenty-Three and the others examined Ink Sword's attributes and cried out in shock.

Wang Xian showed off the Ink Sword and said the Heaven and Earth Furnace would need three days to recover before he could forge again. He then fought the Thunder Spirit, whose strength Wang Xian had once described as beyond imagination.

• Sword Twenty-Three clutched the Ink Sword after the others passed it around, while Wang Xian told them the Heaven and Earth Furnace needed three days to recover.
• Nangong Wu and Su Jin urged Wang Xian to avoid dangerous forging, but he concealed that the furnace’s explosion had cost him a million maximum HP and a thousand years of lifespan.
• Wang Xian grabbed the Thunder Spirit from the Thunder Pool and punched it after hearing it speak in a northeastern dialect, and the two began fighting.
• Nangong Wu explained to Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, and Shadow that the Thunder Spirit could take Wang Xian’s appearance and had used it to fool Little Nami.
• Nangong Wu said neither Wang Xian nor the Thunder Spirit was fighting at full strength, and recalled Wang Xian saying the Thunder Spirit’s power would defy everyone’s imagination.

• Wang Xian emerged from the Thunder Pool battered after his fight with the Thunder Spirit, and Little Nami flew after the Thunder Spirit in anger.

• Wang Xian punched Sword Twenty-Three for more than fifty million damage, killing him despite his Blood Lock Skill.
• Cheng Yao’s skill restored Sword Twenty-Three to full HP, and Wang Xian asked whether he wanted to fight again.

Wang Xian learned that heavenly tribulations were required to reach Mythical Grade, while Thunder Spirit admitted he could influence them and threatened to make Wang Xian’s future tribulation harder. After the equipment deliveries arrived, Wang Xian finished studying the Sect System and discovered that sect disciples could equip an additional Identity Token.

• Sword Twenty-Three complained that Wang Xian’s basic attack had instantly killed him, and Wang Xian joked that it was Sword Twenty-Three’s weakness.
• Nangong Wu asked Thunder Spirit why he had pulled everyone out of the heavenly tribulation’s range, and Thunder Spirit explained that tribulations tested those seeking Mythical Grade and granted rewards to survivors.
• Thunder Spirit claimed he could increase the power of Wang Xian’s future tribulation, then hid in the Thunder Pool when Wang Xian tried to grab him.
• Wang Xian reassured Nangong Wu that Thunder Spirit had pulled them away because he would not actually interfere with Wang Xian’s tribulation.
• Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Shadow, and Long Aotian’s subordinates delivered equipment, and Wang Xian explained that the Sect System let disciples equip an extra piece called an Identity Token.

Wang Xian used the repaired Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge Mythical equipment and begin making jade Identity Tokens for Immortal Palace. After he secretly added his own blood, the furnace shook violently, and the Thunder Spirit arrived and contributed its own God's Blood.

• Wang Xian decided to use the Heaven and Earth Furnace to forge Identity Tokens once it had finished repairing itself, and Nangong Wu agreed on the condition that he stop adding his blood to equipment.
• While the furnace repaired, the Thunder Spirit killed intruders who tried to steal Mythical equipment, following Little Nami's instructions at Wang Xian's request.

Seven days later, he and his companions arrived at the ancient city where the War of Righteousness and Evil would take place and headed toward the neutral faction’s gathering in the central plaza.

• The Thunder Spirit used its power to draw lightning from the confused heavenly tribulation, forging several thousand jade pendants before collapsing from exhaustion; Wang Xian returned it to the Thunder Pool to recover.

• Wang Xian’s group reached the ruined ancient city, saw the righteous and evil factions occupying opposite sides, and joined the neutral faction gathered in the central plaza.

He then recognized Gelaikiao among a group of captured Dragon Kingdom people and attacked the sect members holding her.

• Wang Xian reached Gelaikiao and told her he would send her somewhere safe, and she agreed.

Wang Xian rescued Gelaikiao and her clanspeople from Sect Master Du, who called them members of the Evil Path because they raised venomous insects. After Du attacked him, Wang Xian fought back to protect the Dragon Country People.

• Wang Xian sent Gelaikiao and her clanspeople into the Ring of Immortality, then confronted the injured Sect Master Du about calling them members of the Evil Path.
• A young man accused Wang Xian of making an enemy of the righteous sects, but Tao Yaoyao spoke up for him and challenged Du's claim.
• Lu Haobo explained that Du hated people who raised venomous insects because attackers had once slaughtered most of his sect, including his Dao Companion and child.
• Du admitted his hatred and ordered his disciples to kill Wang Xian and find the people he had rescued, while Lu Haobo slipped away.
• Wang Xian caught Du's fist, declared he would kill anyone who threatened the Dragon Country People, and struck Du, sending him flying.

Wang Xian defeated the Evil Path and righteous cultivators at the Demon Suppression Tower, then learned that the Nine Holy Lands had ordered sects to investigate him. He kept Tao Yaoyao nearby to ask for Myriad Flower Palace’s help cultivating Spiritual Plants, while he considered whether to attack the remaining sects.

• Wang Xian killed Wei Ze and trapped the Evil Path cultivators with a forbidden artifact, while Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Nangong Wu, Xuan Ming, and the others fought them.

• Tao Yaoyao urged Wang Xian not to kill the remaining sects, but he rejected her appeal against excessive slaughter.

• Wang Xian let the righteous and neutral sect members leave, then had his companions gather the spoils and move to a cleaner area.
• Wang Xian released Gelaikiao and her clansmen, then took Gelaikiao aside and asked whether she wanted to become her clan's Saintess.

• Wang Xian dismissed Gelaikiao's clansmen and left with her, while the elders decided to report him and insisted she still had to become the Saintess.
• Wang Xian and his group reached the Blazing Flame Sect, where he ordered its members to leave and Sword Twenty-Three attacked those who remained.

• Wang Xian ordered Du Xian brought over to open the tower, then said to kill him when Lu Haobo explained that Du Xian would not cooperate.

Wang Xian killed Du Xian and used Su Jin, Maple, and Little Nami to finally open the Demon Suppression Tower. After learning the tower’s trials could lead to an ancient expert’s inheritance while descending meant certain disappearance, Wang Xian prepared to enter and called out hidden enemies lurking nearby.

• Wang Xian ignored Lu Haobo’s warning about losing the tower’s only keyholder and killed Du Xian with the Heavenly Dragon Spear.
• Su Jin repeatedly tried laying the tower’s stone slabs, but she triggered its punishment mechanism; Cheng Yao’s skill saved her from a lethal lightning strike.
• Maple and Little Nami arrived, and the three lucky companions laid the slabs together until Wang Xian placed the final one and brought the ninety-nine-floor Demon Suppression Tower into existence.

• Before entering the tower, Wang Xian shouted for hidden enemies to reveal themselves, and Xuan Ming said he could sense people concealed through spatial fluctuations.
