• Ning Qi rapidly comprehended multiple Spells at once, destroyed the opponent’s stars, and crushed the blurred figure with his remaining Star River.

• Ning Qi trapped the final Dao Child in his Five Elements Sword Formation and outlasted her, passing the second trial with an A+ evaluation.

Ning Qi endured nine lifetimes in the True Martial Hall’s third gate, which tested his will by making him believe he had reincarnated. After recovering his memories and breaking free of the illusion, he passed the gate with an evaluation beyond grade A+; the trial’s voice could not assign him a rating.

• Ning Qi found himself reborn as He Yaozu, a peasant child, and gradually accepted his life in the feudal world while trying to improve his family’s circumstances.

• Ning Qi watched eight more reincarnated lives with detachment, then passed the third gate with an evaluation beyond grade A+ that the trial could not measure.

After passing the True Martial Hall’s trials, Ning Qi met its dying Artifact Spirit and learned the Hall’s history, dangers, and a possible way to resist the Mountain and Sea Realm. The old Artifact Spirit passed on its inheritance and vanished, and Ning Qi created a new Artifact Spirit named Ning Xuan to help him master the True Martial Hall.

• Ning Qi pondered how reincarnation had awakened his Heaven-Defying Comprehension before meeting the True Martial Hall’s Artifact Spirit, the remnant thought of the True Martial Old Ancestor.

• Ning Qi severed a strand of his Spiritual Sense to create a new Artifact Spirit, named him Ning Xuan, and asked him to explain the True Martial Hall’s functions.

Ning Qi explored the damaged True Martial Hall, learned its remaining functions, and discovered the True Martial Immortal Sect’s inheritance, including the World is Me method. He emerged from the trial to find the Spirit Beasts greeting him as the True Martial Hall Master.

• Ning Xuan explained that the damaged True Martial Hall could still store a vast world and accelerate time, but could not traverse the Boundary Sea or swallow Heaven and Earth.
• Ning Qi tested the Inner Hall’s tenfold time acceleration and found that it sped up cultivation but did not improve his comprehension.

When the leaders deadlocked over whether Ning Qi should receive a greater share of its blessing, Black Blood Demon Lord challenged his strength, and Ning Qi called him to fight at Heaven's Peak Mountain.

• Heaven Chopping Martial Saint explained the Mountain and Sea Realm threat, the World Will’s recovery, and the plan to awaken it in five days.
• Great Yan Martial Saint proposed distributing the World Will’s blessing by cultivation, and the gathered Martial Saints revealed their auras.
• Heaven Chopping Martial Saint and Old Profound Tortoise supported placing Ning Qi in the Core Land, while Black Blood Demon Lord and South Sea Divine Nun opposed it and Great Yan Martial Saint abstained.

The Sages received the Martial World Will’s baptism to strengthen themselves against the coming invasion, but Black Blood Demon Lord attacked it and revealed his allegiance to the Mountain and Sea Realm. As Ning Qi and the others fought back, South Sea Divine Nun also betrayed them by attacking Old Profound Tortoise.

• Heaven Chopping Martial Saint led the Sages into the World Will’s space and showed it the Martial World’s history of fighting the Mountain and Sea Realm.
