• Pure Yang praised Lin Heng's foundation and taught him the Minor Teleportation Technique to prepare him for the journey's spatial teleportation.
• Pure Yang also gave Lin Heng the Nine Transformations of Withering and Flourishing, a method for concealing Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Lin Heng learned the Minor Teleportation Technique and the Nine Transformations of Withering and Flourishing from Pure Yang Sword Saint before the attempt to contact the Martial God Sect failed. Pure Yang Sword Saint disappeared after trying to reach his main body, leaving Lin Heng with control of the Pure Yang Blessed Land and no clear path to the sect.

After the Martial God Sect failed to retrieve him, Lin Heng concluded he would have to face the approaching Blood Calamity alone.

• After three days without a response from the Martial God Sect, Lin Heng gave up waiting for help and resolved to prepare for the Blood Calamity himself.

• Lin Heng's body developed cracks under the strain, but his Azurewood Spirit Body kept it from shattering.

Lin Heng completed the Mayfly Art, a cultivation technique that traded long-term stability for extreme speed, and used it to rapidly raise his cultivation while developing techniques to preserve and apply his gains. As his Origin nearly ran dry, he reached the Divine Sea Seventh Layer and looked toward the North Sea, where the Blood Calamity had first appeared.

• Lin Heng looked back and saw the Cave Heaven World as a Round Heaven and Square Earth realm, with land beneath a starry dome.

Lin Heng fought the Blood Sea that appeared over the northern seas, but his attacks only made it stronger. He used a prepared Minor Teleportation Technique to force the Blood Sea into the Cave Heaven World’s Chaos Qi, where it screamed in pain.

• Lin Heng drove the Blood Sea into the surrounding Chaos Qi and wore away more than half of it before it broke free and retreated.

• Lin Heng used his True Spirit Art to consume his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, leaving his body as his True Spirit departed.

Lin Heng claimed the second simulation’s rewards, gained World-Shaking Wisdom, and drew the Prajna Golden Body cultivation method and a wood-attributed High-grade Spirit Stone.

• Lin Heng wondered whether his weak Divine Sea cultivation had limited the increase in his Race Value.

Lin Heng prepared to strengthen himself in reality before beginning a third simulation, fusing with the Azurewood Spirit Body and cultivating the technique he had created. After rapidly forming a Yin Spirit, he began searching for the three spirits within his body.

• Lin Heng flew to Li Hen Pavilion’s separate courtyard and sent grass and sand blades sweeping toward the Demonic Heretics inside.
