• Wang Xian entered the territory and discovered the Experience Pool, which continuously granted experience.

Wang Xian and the others inspected Immortal Palace’s territory and prepared for its three-day Monster Siege. With the attack expected to begin in an hour, they organized their people and planned to watch the first wave together.

• Wang Xian showed Sword Twenty-Three the territory’s buildings and rough wooden fence, and explained how Qin Yu’s NPCs were bound to Immortal Palace.
• Wang Xian told the group the Monster Siege would last three days, with low-level monsters at first and much stronger monsters on the third day.

• Wang Xian checked the time, noted that the first wave would arrive in an hour, and led everyone toward the territory’s defenses to watch the siege.

Immortal Palace endured the first day of the Monster Siege as waves of low-level animals charged its territory, and the NPC legions slaughtered them until the monsters rose high enough for players to gain experience. After hours of blood and noise, Wang Xian cooked a Tricolor Deer, and Xuan Yue eagerly joined him.

• At midnight, countless noisy level 0–5 animals charged Immortal Palace, and the NPC legions met them at the territory’s outer perimeter.
• The level 50 NPC soldiers slaughtered the low-level monsters, leaving heaps of corpses that did not disappear because NPCs had killed them.

• When the monsters reached levels 30–35, Nangong Wu coordinated the replacement of NPC troops with players who could earn experience.
• Wang Xian invited the others to eat, grilled a Tricolor Deer, and Xuan Yue rushed over to tear off a hind leg and eat.

After Xuan Yue joined the group, Wang Xian helped everyone recover from the siege’s horrors with a meal before the battle continued through the night. When Cheng Yao woke him to serve as a leveling mascot, his party discovered his enormous experience bonus and begged to rent his services, but Wang Xian refused for now.

• Xuan Yue ate Wang Xian’s roasted meat, and Sword Twenty-Three teased Wang Xian before being kicked away twice.

• Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, and Shadow asked to rent Wang Xian as a leveling mascot, but he refused and told them to talk after the Monster Siege.

Wang Xian and Su Jin watched as the others fought the monsters attacking Immortal Palace, then prepared to join the battle when the monsters grew stronger. With Cheng Yao's buff, Wang Xian unleashed his advanced skill, Ice Roar, on a dense group of monsters.

• Su Jin told Wang Xian she was being rented to Qin Zheng and the others for 10,000 Gold Coins a day, with all monster drops going to her.
• Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, Sword Twenty-Three, Shadow, Xuan Yue, Xuan Ming, Nangong Wu, and Lin Feng displayed their skills while killing the attacking monsters.
• After around three hours, the monsters' levels rose to 41 to 45, and Su Jin asked Wang Xian to add her to the party so they could fight.
• Wang Xian arranged for an Immortal Palace member to leave the party, then asked Cheng Yao for a buff before taking to the air.
• Cheng Yao cast Hundred Flowers Compete on Wang Xian, who used Ice Roar to attack a dense group of monsters.

Wang Xian and his party fought monsters for half a day, and Wang Xian’s overwhelming damage let him reach level 47. They paused to eat grilled monster meat while the NPC army held the line.

• Sword Twenty-Three compared his damage to Wang Xian’s, and Wang Xian answered with Crimson Flame Art that instantly wiped out the monsters in front of him.
• Wang Xian explained that his attack had reached fifteen thousand, leaving Sword Twenty-Three stunned by the gap between them.

• Wang Xian called for a break and told the party to eat while the NPC army held the line.
• Wang Xian grilled monster meat, and the party gathered around the fire and ate until the food was gone.

Wang Xian led the group through another night of rapid leveling, reaching level 50 and gaining a mysterious new talent. After the group discussed the danger tied to his nickname and his complicated feelings about Su Mu, he called for a break before the coming battle.

• Sword Twenty-Three asked Wang Xian to keep leveling with the group, and Wang Xian agreed.
• Sword Twenty-Three questioned whether Wang Xian's nickname, Immortal King, would bring trouble from the Immortal Clan, and Su Jin explained that her sister had chosen it for him.
• Wang Xian flew away to avoid further questions about Su Mu, then began grinding monsters with Nangong Wu and the others.
• After nearly ten hours of leveling, Wang Xian reached level 50 and received a new talent called Talent Stripping.
• Wang Xian told everyone to rest and eat before the hard battle that would begin after twelve o'clock.

After reaching level 50, Wang Xian gained the Mythical Grade talent Stripping, which could remove attributes from equipment and take away talents or professions. He tested it on Su Jin, Nangong Wu, and a staff, then gave Nangong Wu the extracted fire-magic attributes.

• Wang Xian checked his new Stripping talent and realized he could strip other people's professions and talents.
• Wang Xian used Stripping on Su Jin and learned that her Lord of Stars profession was Mythical Grade, but he did not proceed.
• Wang Xian touched Nangong Wu and learned that her profession was also Mythical Grade.
• Wang Xian stripped attributes from a Spirit Fire Staff, which disintegrated and left behind a fusion orb.
• Wang Xian gave the orb to Nangong Wu, who recognized it as connected to the staff and agreed to keep quiet.

Immortal Palace faced the first Elite-grade BOSS of the final day of Monster Siege, an enormous mammoth with immense health and powerful earth attacks. Sword Twenty-Three failed to damage it meaningfully, so Wang Xian took over and began fighting it.

• Nangong Wu told Wang Xian that her red orb fusion had added its attributes, but she would need to wait a month before fusing again.
• Wang Xian explained that Level 80 or higher Elite-grade BOSSES would appear every two hours during the siege’s final day, and warned that their defenses would be too high for most of the group.
• An ancient mammoth BOSS emerged from the monster herd, and Sword Twenty-Three drew its attention before struggling to evade its charge and stone pillars.
• Sword Twenty-Three’s strongest attack barely hurt the mammoth, so Wang Xian told him to retreat and took over the fight.
• The mammoth struck Wang Xian for little damage, while Wang Xian’s Forsaken passive dealt it one million damage; he then charged again with his lightning-charged Heavenly Dragon Spear.

Wang Xian fought the Mammoth Boss while Cheng Yao kept him healed, and Nangong Wu revealed that the Foxfolk Race could transform into powerful foxes. The Mammoth Boss fell, the monster horde retreated, and the others learned how Foxfolk bloodline slots could be distributed.

• Wang Xian attacked the Mammoth Boss, used its back to land a critical strike, and continued fighting after its crystal armor forced him to move.
• Cheng Yao restored Wang Xian’s health while he attacked the Mammoth Boss and the monster horde charged toward Immortal Palace’s territory.
• Nangong Wu summoned Foxfolk who transformed into flaming white foxes and rapidly damaged the incoming monsters.
• Sword Twenty-Three mistook the Foxfolk for pets, and Nangong Wu explained the Foxfolk bloodlines and offered Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, and Shadow one Seven-tailed Fox Bloodline slot each.
• Nangong Wu shared the Foxfolk attributes, prompting Long Aotian to reconsider transforming before ultimately refusing.
• Wang Xian defeated the Mammoth Boss, and the monster horde stopped attacking and retreated.

After waking from a long nap, Wang Xian helped defend the territory while the others fought the fourth-wave giant python BOSS. Just as he explained why he was holding back, an armored middle-aged man arrived on a Western Dragon and struck at the BOSS with a flaming modao.

• Wang Xian told Nangong Wu not to attack the mobs, then returned to the territory and fell asleep until after six in the evening.
• Wang Xian flew beyond the walls and found the defenders holding off level 80 mobs while Nangong Wu, Su Jin, Long Aotian, Qin Zheng, Shadow, and others fought the giant python BOSS.
• Wang Xian cleared mobs near the walls, then flew to the BOSS and sat beside Cheng Yao instead of joining the attack.
• Wang Xian explained that killing the BOSS would make the mobs retreat, so he wanted the others to keep fighting it while the defenders gained experience.
• A Western Dragon flew out from the territory carrying an armored middle-aged man, who leaped down and brought a flaming modao strike toward the giant python BOSS.

Wang Xian's father joined the battle against the giant python boss, and the group defeated it before sharing grilled snake meat. Wang Xian then helped clear the remaining siege bosses until only the level 100 final boss remained.

• Wang Xian's father struck the giant python boss with a flaming longsword while Cheng Yao healed the Dragon Suppressing Guards.
• Nangong Wu added Wang Xian's father to the party, and he and his Western Giant Dragon helped the group defeat the giant python boss.
• Sword Twenty-Three complained to Wang Xian after the fight, while Wang Xian's father asked whether he had looked cool in battle.
• Wang Xian cut meat from the python, grilled it for the group, and learned that his father had returned to Azure Dragon City to complain to his mother.
• Wang Xian joined the next boss assault and helped clear the siege until only the level 100 boss remained.

Wang Xian prepared Immortal Palace’s territory for the level 100 BOSS by evacuating everyone without Blood Lock Skills and waiting for a powerful weapon to arrive. The Great Killer finally reached the territory, leaving Wang Xian eager to see it up close.

• Wang Xian told Sword Twenty-Three that the level 100 BOSS had to be defeated to secure Immortal Palace’s territory and confirmed that a powerful weapon was on its way.

• Su Jin gave Wang Xian a green necklace and boots, which he equipped to improve his attributes.
• Wang Xian and Sword Twenty-Three discussed the remote territory’s location while they waited for the delivery.
• The people transporting the Great Killer arrived, and Wang Xian went forward to meet them.

A level 100 Bull Demon emerged from a Space Rift and revealed that it had come to punish humans for desecrating its emperor. Wang Xian learned that the crisis stemmed from a forbidden nickname and fled the Immortal Palace territory after the higher-ups refused to hand over the person responsible.

• The Bull Demon emerged from the Space Rift, its roar damaging the people gathered outside the Immortal Palace territory.
• Wang Xian suspected the Bull Demon was an Epic BOSS and demanded that Sword Twenty-Three explain what had provoked it.
• Sword Twenty-Three showed Wang Xian a message revealing that someone had used a dangerous nickname, prompting the Bull Demon to seek revenge for its emperor.
• Sword Twenty-Three reported that the higher-ups refused to hand over the person responsible and would instead try to kill the BOSS with the Great Killer.
• Wang Xian abandoned the territory and fled toward the mountain with Nangong Wu, Su Jin, and the others, leaving Sword Twenty-Three and the Great Killer team behind.

Wang Xian considered using his unknown Sacrificial Dance skill to save the Immortal Palace territory from the Bull Demon. A nuclear strike barely harmed the Epic BOSS, and Wang Xian fled with the others as more incoming weapons appeared in the sky.

• Wang Xian told Nangong Wu, Su Jin, and Cheng Yao to wait and see, while privately weighing whether to use Sacrificial Dance against the Bull Demon.
• The Bull Demon began moving toward the Immortal Palace territory as a nuclear explosion engulfed it and vaporized the wooden walls and temporary structures.
• Wang Xian and the others survived the blast and its radiation with their protective skills and Cheng Yao's healing.
• The Bull Demon emerged with damaged armor but had lost only about one percent of its HP, leaving everyone stunned.
• Wang Xian urged Su Jin to open a Star Gate, and he and the others escaped after Nangong Wu spotted more objects flying toward them with white trails.

After the nuclear blasts badly wounded the Bull Demon, Wang Xian returned with his group and found the Epic BOSS near death. His attempt to finish it triggered massive healing instead, leaving him with only one final method.

• Wang Xian had Su Jin open a Star Gate and warned everyone without Blood Lock to remain behind before entering the irradiated blast zone.
• Wang Xian found the Bull Demon badly burned and reduced to a little over one-tenth of its HP, while Sword Twenty-Three rejoined the group with only one resurrection chance left.
• The Bull Demon charged, and Wang Xian attacked with Heavenly Dragon City Breaker, but the skill dealt zero damage and the Bull Demon struck him down to 1 HP.
• Wang Xian's Elegy of Life dealt the Bull Demon one hundred million damage, but the BOSS entered a recovery state that restored fifty million HP at a time.
• Cheng Yao used Flower Breaks Intestines to suppress the Bull Demon's healing, but the skill proved ineffective, so Wang Xian put away his spear and prepared his final method.

Wang Xian stayed behind to face the Bull Demon BOSS and activated Sacrificial Dance, freezing the world and opening a rift to a cosmic scene where a mysterious white-robed figure appeared. The Bull Demon and its Epic Grade loot crumbled away, but a world announcement confirmed that Immortal Palace had obtained Blue Star’s first territory.

• Nangong Wu urged Wang Xian to abandon the territory, but he sent her, Su Jin, and the others away while choosing to stay and fight.
• Wang Xian activated Sacrificial Dance, freezing everything around him as an ancient aura opened a rift in the sky.
• A white-robed figure appeared in a distant courtyard and waved away the cosmic scene, after which the Bull Demon BOSS crumbled into dust.
• Wang Xian rushed toward the red Epic Grade equipment, but it and the Gold Coins weathered away before he could reach them.
• Wang Xian reassured Nangong Wu and explained the lost equipment to the others.
• A world announcement declared that Immortal Palace had obtained Blue Star’s first territory.

After Immortal Palace claimed its territory, Wang Xian discovered that using Sacrificial Dance had taken away his ability to feel happiness and smile. He confronted the authorities about the person he blamed, warning them that sparing that person could doom humanity when the Mythical Era began.

• Immortal Palace claimed its territory, and Wang Xian realized he could no longer feel happiness or smile, an apparent aftereffect of Sacrificial Dance.
• Wang Xian ordered Nangong Wu to organize construction in the territory, then set out with Sword Twenty-Three to confront the person he blamed.
• Wang Xian met with officials in the Imperial Capital and offered a Mythical Grade Flower of the Ancient Shanyin Scholar Tree to repay his debt of one million Gold Coins and three Skill Books.
• Wang Xian demanded that the officials hand over the person, then warned them that the Demon Emperor's hatred of humans could lead to humanity's extinction if that person survived into the Mythical Era.

Wang Xian learned that the people in the conference room were helping Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun seize the souls of two Three-legged Golden Crows. He realized their plan to replace the demon emperors was already underway and could no longer be stopped.

• Wang Xian insisted that the person who had threatened him had to die, so the old man invited him to see the truth.
• Wang Xian entered a scorching underground facility where Mages and Priests cooled two people enduring intense heat.
• Wang Xian saw two chained Three-legged Golden Crow souls above Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun, whose classes were Soul Refiner and Soul Snatcher.
• Wang Xian noticed that one Golden Crow's eye contained an illusory image of Donghuang Taiyi and realized the two men intended to replace the demon emperors.
• Wang Xian accepted that the scheme could no longer be stopped and returned to the conference room, where the Flower of the Ancient Shanyin Scholar Tree remained untouched.

Wang Xian left the meeting after agreeing that the Dragon Kingdom’s dangerous plan could not be stopped, then reclaimed the Flower of the Ancient Shanyin Scholar Tree and returned to the Immortal Palace territory. After a lively victory banquet, he woke beside Nangong Wu and learned that he had smiled at her.

• Wang Xian took back the Flower of the Ancient Shanyin Scholar Tree, joking that an elders’ gift could not be refused, and left the meeting room.
• Wang Xian found Sword Twenty-Three and invited him to the Immortal Palace territory, where members were rapidly building structures and greeting Wang Xian as Guild Leader.
• At the victory banquet, Qin Zheng, Shadow, and Long Aotian argued over who would take Su Jin first, while Immortal Palace members kept pouring drinks for Wang Xian.
• After getting drunk, Wang Xian dreamed of a fairy and woke beside Nangong Wu, recalling that he had kissed her the night before.
• Nangong Wu excitedly told Wang Xian that he had smiled.
