Zhang Yu sought a place on the Special Task Force reviewing a mysterious Immortal Sect Technique, seeing it as a chance to advance his career. Lu Hengzhang unexpectedly recommended him, and Zhang Yu accepted despite recognizing the danger, while Lu Hengzhang believed the project was doomed and Zhang Yu would become cannon fodder.

• Zhang Yu reflected on his classmates’ Sect Examination prospects and hoped to bring more people from the Lower Realm into the Sect.
• Zhang Yu advanced his cultivation, took on higher-paying part-time tasks, bought an Immortal Spiritual Root, and increased his savings.

• Lu Hengzhang unexpectedly recommended Zhang Yu to the Special Task Force, and Zhang Yu accepted the invitation despite suspecting Lu Hengzhang’s motives.
• Lu Hengzhang told Zhang Yu to reach Wu Twelve before joining and privately concluded that the Immortal Sect Technique was destined to be abandoned and some team members would become cannon fodder.

Zhang Yu joined the sealed Special Task Force to review a mysterious Sect-Protecting cultivation method, Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, after borrowing heavily to buy Wu Eleven and Wu Twelve. He learned that Bu Yingshu intended to force the method through review and chose him for her experiments, while the Feather Scroll identified it as part of the Great Saint Successor Chain Law Diagram.

• Zhang Yu borrowed 180,000 Immortal Coins, bought Wu Eleven and Wu Twelve, and raised both martial arts to Level 40 before preparing to enter the Special Task Force.
• Gu Qingya warned Zhang Yu that powerful forces opposed the cultivation method, and the task force cut off all outside communications and subjected him to extensive inspections.
• Zhang Yu joined a group of Audit Department cultivators, where Lu Hengzhang announced that a High-Intelligence Artifact Spirit would assist with the review.

• Zhang Yu read the method's introductory materials, and the Feather Scroll identified Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation as belonging to the Great Saint Successor Chain Law Diagram.

Yu Qingrang escaped Bu Yingshu’s review, while Zhang Yu and Zheng Meng became test subjects for Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation. As they began studying its derivative techniques, Zhang Yu discovered eight connected to a mysterious Great Saint Researcher chain law diagram, and Bu Yingshu noticed his unusual progress.

• Yu Qingrang used her overloaded cerebral Dharma Skeleton to escape Bu Yingshu’s test, while Lu Hengzhang hoped Zhang Yu would remain behind as a test subject.
• Zheng Meng won Bu Yingshu’s favor by praising the Immortal Clan, and Bu Yingshu gave her and Zhang Yu complete copies of Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation.

• Bu Yingshu assigned Zhang Yu and Zheng Meng derivative cultivation methods to master as preparation for dismantling Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation.
• Zhang Yu identified eight unfamiliar Expert-Level Martial Arts bearing a Great Saint Researcher chain law diagram, then mastered five techniques to Level 40 within five days.
• Bu Yingshu reviewed their progress and questioned whether Zhang Yu had deliberately mastered only five techniques, then noticed all five were at Level 40.

Zhang Yu sensed and deciphered a Great Saint’s warning through the Spirit Realm, drawing the attention of hidden forces that identified him as the Great Saint Successor in the Myriad Laws Sect. Meanwhile, Bu Yingshu tested Zheng Meng and continued having Zhang Yu demonstrate martial arts, leaving Zhang Yu curious about her Dao Seed.

• Zhang Yu raised Great Saint Researcher to its first effect, sensed a distant will while circulating Myriad Transformations Self-Sufficient Profound Scripture, and later deciphered its warning to run because the place had been cracked.
• Zhang Yu severed his connection to the Spirit Realm after a terrifying pressure swept toward him, and Zhan Xian advised him not to use the ability again until it was safe.
• Voices deep within the Spirit Realm announced that the Great Saint Successor had appeared in the Myriad Laws Sect.
• Zheng Meng joined Zhang Yu to demonstrate her cultivation methods to Bu Yingshu, who dismissed her weak display and then used her as a test subject for a new Immortal Dao Technique.

• After Zhang Yu continued demonstrating cultivation methods for Bu Yingshu over the following days, he gradually discovered that she possessed a Wanfa Immortal Clan Dao Seed.

Zhang Yu used Bu Yingshu’s guidance sessions to complete the requirements for the [Wanfa Immortal Clan] Dao Seed, which awakened Bu Yingshu’s own bloodline talent and gave Zhang Yu a set of cultivation rewards. After beginning to gather techniques to level up the Dao Seed, Zhang Yu tried to arrange an external connection to repay his loan, but Bu Yingshu summoned him before he could resolve it.

• Zhang Yu persuaded Bu Yingshu to guide him through Basic Cultivation Methods, secretly completing the extractions needed to duplicate [Wanfa Immortal Clan].
• Bu Yingshu experimented on Zhang Yu, injuring him and paying him 10,000 Immortal Coins; Zhang Yu healed most of the damage himself and kept nearly 9,000 coins.
• Zhang Yu completed the final extraction, awakening Bu Yingshu’s bloodline talent and duplicating [Wanfa Immortal Clan] at Level 1.
• Zhang Yu used the Dao Seed’s ten exchanges to gain eight Basic Cultivation Method level increases, one method to forget, and one method to learn, then began seeking guidance on Advanced Level Martial Arts to level up the Dao Seed.
• Zhang Yu applied to Lu Hengzhang for permission to connect to the external Dharma Realm and repay his loan, but Lu Hengzhang dismissed his request.
• Bu Yingshu forcefully projected into the office and angrily demanded to know why Zhang Yu had not come when she called.

Bu Yingshu seized Lu Hengzhang for delaying Zhang Yu, then continued experimenting with and guiding Zhang Yu, whose reports helped her Bloodline Talent break through again. As Zhang Yu advanced [Wanfa Immortal Clan] to Level 2 and earned enough to approach paying off his debt, Bu Yingshu tried to repeat the activities she suspected caused her breakthroughs and demanded that he ask more questions.

• Bu Yingshu grabbed Lu Hengzhang, whose Dharma Skeletons and Dharma Treasures were suspended and whose fines mounted, then ordered him to approve Zhang Yu's applications immediately.
• Zhang Yu returned to Bu Yingshu's laboratory, where she experimented on him, gave him Martial Arts guidance, and paid him; Zheng Meng watched resentfully as Bu Yingshu focused on Zhang Yu.

• Zhang Yu accumulated 150,000 Immortal Coin and refined ten Advanced Martial Arts techniques, while Bu Yingshu remained patient with his questions despite the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation tests continuing to fail.
• Bu Yingshu decided to double the activities she believed had awakened her talent and, when Zhang Yu prepared to leave, insisted that he ask her questions about his Derivative Cultivation Methods.

Bu Yingshu repeatedly guided Zhang Yu through cultivation methods, discovering that his insights and their shared work on Immortal Dao Techniques coincided with her talent and Dao Seed improving. As her Dao Seed neared Level 3, she defended Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation at a Special Task Force meeting, after which Yang Kaitai pressured Zhang Yu to report on her progress.

• Bu Yingshu forced Zhang Yu to study the Derivative Cultivation Method, dismissed Zheng Meng, and later beat Lu Hengzhang while trying to recreate the circumstances of her talent improvements.
• Zhang Yu deliberately prevented Bu Yingshu from extracting Immortal Dao Techniques with him until she independently summarized techniques from an Expert-level Cultivation Method and felt her talent respond.

• While attending a Special Task Force meeting, Bu Yingshu received Zhang Yu's reports and saw the [Wanfa Immortal Clan] Dao Seed approach Level 3.
• Yang Kaitai argued that Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation should be rejected, but Bu Yingshu vowed to verify it herself and challenged the opposition to her project.
• After the meeting, Yang Kaitai appeared before Zhang Yu and asked for a report on Bu Yingshu's progress, warning him to consider his choices carefully.

Zhang Yu refused Yang Kaitai’s attempt to draw information from him and continued helping Bu Yingshu under a two-month deadline to verify Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation. Their work advanced Zhang Yu’s [Wanfa Immortal Clan] Dao Seed, while the chapter ended with Bu Yingshu bringing him two Military-grade Cultivation Methods from the [Great Saint Researcher] set.

• Zhang Yu declined to disclose Bu Yingshu’s research progress to Yang Kaitai, who warned him to remember where he stood.
• Bu Yingshu told Zhang Yu that she had two months to produce substantive verification results and ordered him to work around the clock, paying him an extra 8,000 Immortal Coin per day.
• Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu extracted another Immortal Dao Technique from an Expert-level Cultivation Method, raising [Wanfa Immortal Clan] to Level 3; Bu Yingshu’s talent and understanding also surged.
• Zhang Yu drew rewards from [Wanfa Immortal Clan] but held back from trying a Cultivation Method mutation because Bu Yingshu was constantly beside him.
• Chen Xingxuan and Lu Hengzhang believed Bu Yingshu’s project would fail, while Yang Kaitai’s team continued dismantling Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and searching for similar methods to challenge its novelty.
• Bu Yingshu brought Zhang Yu two Military-grade Cultivation Methods from the [Great Saint Researcher] set, and they began studying them while extracting their Immortal Dao Techniques.

Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu advanced their study of Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, while Zhang Yu unlocked the ability to evade the Great Saint Will’s scrutiny. When he examined the cultivation method’s first technique, the Great Saint Will showed him ancient memories revealing the origins of the Wild Ox and their shared identity as the Arrogant Bull.

• Bu Yingshu told Zhang Yu that one imprisoned person had created the Derivative Cultivation Methods and that he might meet the creator if the review succeeded.

• After [Wanfa Immortal Clan] reached level 4, Bu Yingshu’s understanding of cultivation methods surged, and she began studying Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation with Zhang Yu.
• Zhang Yu sensed the Great Saint Will while examining the method’s first Immortal Dao Technique, and [Great Saint Researcher] concealed him from the countless eyes in the Spirit Realm.
• Zhang Yu witnessed the Great Saint’s memories of the world’s division and the Demon Descendant Construction Legion, then learned that billions of Wild Ox shared one collective will and called themselves the Arrogant Bull.

Zhang Yu experienced the Great Saint Will as the memories of Wild Ox, whose rage at the exploitation of mortals allowed him to break free and awaken a new will in his Demon Descendant Clone. Wild Ox helped Zhang Yu guide Bu Yingshu through a difficult technique, while Zhang Yu’s report unexpectedly advanced the [Wanfa Immortal Clan] Dao Seed and overwhelmed Bu Yingshu with exhilaration.

• Wild Ox’s memories revealed that the Sect executed mortals and failed cultivators, used their remains as rations, and exploited the dead souls’ resentment to fuel the Wild Oxen and the world’s progress.
• The Wild Oxen resisted the giant foot crushing them, and Zhang Yu’s defiance broke the Great Saint Will’s vision and brought him back to the laboratory.
• Zhang Yu discovered that the Great Saint Will’s information had awakened a new, confused will named Wild Ox in one of his Demon Descendant Clones.
• Wild Ox supplied key details about Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, allowing Zhang Yu to guide Bu Yingshu to reproduce its body-transforming technique.
• Bu Yingshu paid Zhang Yu 10,000 Immortal Coin and left to report her success, while Zhang Yu sent her a technical report.
• Bu Yingshu’s report increased [Wanfa Immortal Clan]’s progress by one, triggering an overwhelming wave of exhilaration that interrupted her meeting with the clan elders.

Bu Yingshu advanced the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation’s techniques while Zhang Yu waited for another Great Saint Will. When the fourth technique’s bottleneck triggered one, Zhang Yu witnessed Wild Ox’s history and the rise of the Desolate Ox Great Saint, ending as Wild Ox and the souls within him prepared to remake the world.

• Bu Yingshu concealed her unusual reaction to her Dao Seed’s progress, told Zhang Yu that the clan elders had approved her results, and ordered him to keep refining the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation with her.
• Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu refined the second and third techniques, but Zhang Yu sensed no Great Saint Will; Zhan Xian speculated that the methods might help bring Demon Descendants into the Myriad Laws Sect.
• When Bu Yingshu stalled while refining the fourth technique, Zhang Yu sensed a Great Saint Will, and beings in the Spirit Realm identified Layer 11 as the likely location of a Great Saint Successor and ordered it watched.
• Zhang Yu experienced Wild Ox’s memories: the First Demon Saint’s altered command freed Demon Descendants from their compulsion to serve humanity, and Wild Ox united the voices and souls within him to protect ordinary people from slaughter.
• Wild Ox became the Desolate Ox Great Saint, fought the immortals with human and demon allies, and drew their souls and powers into himself as they sacrificed themselves to aid him.
• As an immortal threatened to crush the Human Realm, Wild Ox called the souls within him forth, and the girl who had once bid him farewell urged him to remake the world together.

Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu uncovered techniques that could turn people into a collective lifeform, a possible answer to labor displaced by High-Intelligence Artifact Spirits. As they continued their research, an unexpected regulatory inspection ordered the Special Task Force to assemble.

• In the Spirit Realm, investigators identified four suspicious locations connected to the Desolate Ox Great Saint and ordered Myriad Laws Sect to investigate them.
• Lu Hengzhang learned that Bu Yingshu paid Zhang Yu 8,000 Immortal Coin for each day of overtime and resented her closeness to him.
• Zhang Yu recounted his vision of the Great Saint Will to Fu Ji and learned that Wild Ox had gained limited reasoning and access to technical knowledge.
• Zhang Yu guided Bu Yingshu as they reproduced techniques from Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, and she explained that the methods could combine cultivators into a collective lifeform.
• Bu Yingshu told Zhang Yu that Myriad Laws Sect might develop the technique as a flesh-and-blood alternative to High-Intelligence Artifact Spirits, testing it on Demon Descendants; Zhang Yu resolved to gain influence to change the plan.
• A surprise inspection notice ordered the Special Task Force to assemble within three minutes, but Bu Yingshu impatiently delayed responding.

During the Special Task Force inspection, Bing Yisi suspected Zhang Yu was connected to the Desolate Ox Great Saint and attempted to search his memories. Bu Yingshu intervened with a Slaying God Certificate, and the officials agreed to test Zhang Yu’s Sect Nature instead.

• Chen Xingxuan and Yu Qingrang were questioned as Orthodox Gods and Myriad Laws Hall cultivators inspected the Special Task Force.
• Zhang Yu realized the inspectors were investigating the times he sensed the Great Saint Will and worried they would uncover his secrets.
• Bing Yisi sought authorization to search Zhang Yu’s memories for links to the Desolate Ox Great Saint.
• Bu Yingshu broke through the room’s defenses and threatened the inspectors with her certificates, including a Slaying God Certificate.
• The Yufa Pavilion Master arrived, and the parties agreed to test Zhang Yu’s Sect Nature instead of searching his memories.

Zhang Yu passed the Orthodox Gods’ Sect Nature test, but their suspicions shifted toward Bu Yingshu as she advanced her Wanfa Immortal Clan Dao Seed. After Zhang Yu strengthened Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and Bu Yingshu extracted its final technique, the real Great Saint Will descended toward them, leaving Zhang Yu braced for a confrontation.

• Zhang Yu’s Sect Examination Clone passed a staged Righteous-Demonic War trial, and the Orthodox Gods declared that he had passed the Sect Nature test.
• Bing Yisi grew suspicious of Bu Yingshu’s unusual protectiveness toward Zhang Yu, but his superior dismissed his concerns.
• Bu Yingshu extracted more techniques and raised the Wanfa Immortal Clan Dao Seed to level 5, while Zhang Yu used ten draws to raise Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation to level 40 and fulfill the Great Saint Successor’s first-layer requirement.
• Bu Yingshu’s improved talent let her extract the previously elusive final technique from Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation.
• A real Great Saint Will surged toward Zhang Yu and Bu Yingshu, and Zhang Yu equipped Great Saint Researcher and Great Saint Successor as he anticipated a battle powerful enough to punch through heaven.

Zhang Yu spread his Great Saint Will across Kunxu Layer 11, obscuring the Great Saint Will’s target but drawing the Orthodox Gods’ attention. He witnessed Desolate Ox Great Saint’s history and learned that only a Dao Orthodoxy could oppose the immortals’ power, then returned to the laboratory as Bu Yingshu confronted him about what he had seen.

• Zhang Yu used Great Saint Successor (6/6) to broadcast his will across Layer 11, drowning out the Great Saint Will’s initial trace with the words “Holy shit.”
• The Orthodox Gods and cultivators reacted to the broadcast, while higher wills searched Layer 11 and Zhang Yu switched back to Great Saint Researcher.
• Zhang Yu witnessed Desolate Ox Great Saint defeat an immortal, provide for humanity, and become divided as human societies formed competing realms and nations.
• Desolate Ox Great Saint explained that the world’s development inevitably favored immortals through Dao Orthodoxy, and told Zhang Yu to find the Dao Orthodoxy he had left behind.
• Zhang Yu returned to the laboratory with the Great Saint’s information gathering in his Desolate Ox Clone, and Bu Yingshu asked whether he had seen something.

Bu Yingshu confronted Zhang Yu after they both received the Great Saint Will, fearing they had become Great Saint Successors who could be exploited by Kunxu’s upper powers. When she realized the entire Layer 11 had sensed the Will, she chose to keep Zhang Yu close and resumed their research, expecting the incident to spur even greater investment in the Desolate Ox Great Saint’s techniques.

• Bu Yingshu pinned Zhang Yu down and demanded to know whether he had seen the Great Saint Will’s memories, then explained that Great Saint Successors were valuable tools who could be stripped of their rights and exploited.
• Zhang Yu learned from Bu Yingshu that Kunxu’s upper powers viewed Great Saint Successors as profitable resources rather than merely rebels, while Wild Ox briefly regained his intelligence and said they needed to establish their own Dao Orthodoxy.
• Zhang Yu told Bu Yingshu that the Great Saint Will had reached others, and she discovered that the entire Layer 11 might have sensed it.
• Bu Yingshu feared that everyone had heard the curse she thought during the Will’s arrival, but decided not to silence Zhang Yu and instead resolved to keep him under her command.
• Bu Yingshu resumed the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation project with Zhang Yu, predicting that the incident would make the upper powers invest even more in studying the Desolate Ox Great Saint’s techniques.

Bu Yingshu decoded Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and began designing a joint experiment with Zhang Yu, using palm contact to connect their Magical Power. As Kunxu Layer 11 faced investigations over the Great Saint Will, Gu Qingya warned Zhang Yu that supporting Bu Yingshu would put him against the Yufa Pavilion, but Zhang Yu said he had no way back.

• Bu Yingshu concluded that Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation required the combined power of two Dao Foundations and began teaching its key points to Zhang Yu.
• Bu Yingshu chose to connect their power through their palms, paid the fines incurred when she held Zhang Yu's hand, and tested circulating their Magical Power together.
• Bu Yingshu arranged further experiments and requested records from the Special Task Force as Orthodox Gods and major Sects began inspecting suspicious locations across Kunxu Layer 11.
• Gu Qingya contacted Zhang Yu and warned him that the Law Adjudication Dao Lineage wanted to keep Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation under tight control and that Bu Yingshu might not protect him after she left.
• Zhang Yu thanked Gu Qingya but said he had no path of retreat, and Gu Qingya's Dharma Realm projection disappeared.

Bu Yingshu demonstrated that she and Zhang Yu could jointly simulate an 18-Layer Dao Foundation and verify Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, overturning Yufa Pavilion’s plan to suspend its review. She submitted her report and announced that she would take Zhang Yu with her once matters were settled.

• Gu Qingya warned Zhang Yu against relying on the Immortal Clans, while Zhang Yu decided he could not withdraw from his cooperation with Bu Yingshu.
• Bu Yingshu told Zhang Yu about the Hunyuan Dao Lineage’s plans for Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation and described how she hoped to develop it into a profitable cultivation ecosystem.

• Bu Yingshu displayed the transformations described in Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, and Yang Kaitai acknowledged that she had verified its effects.
• Bu Yingshu sent her verification report to the Yufa Pavilion leaders and said she would take Zhang Yu with her after the matter was settled.

Bu Yingshu completed the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation review and declared that she would take Zhang Yu to the Martial Arts Pavilion, promising to promote him to Fourth Rank after he became a Level 3 Sect Affairs Officer. After she left him at Yufa Pavilion with her photo pinned as protection, Zhang Yu returned to work and learned that new Lower Realm recruits and his friends were reacting to his connection with her.

• Bu Yingshu rejected Yang Kaitai's objections, paid Zhang Yu's fine, and announced that she would take him under her wing and bring him to the Martial Arts Pavilion.
• Bu Yingshu and Pavilion Master Si completed the Daoist Canon's final review of the Blood Tide Essence Qi Sacred Observation, then she promised to transfer and promote Zhang Yu once he reached Level 3.

In the Lower Realm Mutual Aid Society, Zhang Yu’s rapid rise and closeness to Bu Yingshu stunned the new examinees, and he grew concerned when he learned Le Mulan was missing from training.

• Bai Zhenzhen saw Zhang Yu’s photo with Bu Yingshu, and Wen Wuya’s teasing provoked her grief and Extreme Emotion Sword Intents.
• A mysterious cultivator appeared before Bai Zhenzhen and encouraged her to let the Sword Intent control her, while she suspected the figure was an Extreme Joy Sword Dao expert amusing himself at her expense.
• True Lord Xuan Shu joined the Lower Realm Mutual Aid Society and began advising Tian Shenggong, Ying Mingchi, and Wang Yin about their Sect positions.
• True Lord Wu Xiang joined the group to get closer to Zhang Yu, and the members learned Zhang Yu was about to become a Level 3 Sect Affairs Officer and was close to Bu Yingshu.
