• Lei Shan told Ning Qi that his performance had earned the Devil Race’s trust and that their goal had largely been achieved.

Ning Qi joined Zhao Tianlei and Zhao Zhirou on a mission to retrieve hidden resources, weapons, and armor from a Meteorite Zone while the main army traveled toward the Boundary Sea Battlefield. After their Flying Boat emerged into the Boundary Sea, the commanders gathered to plan the dangerous mission.

As Ning Qi began cultivating and Shi Xiaokun continued refining a Sumeru Space, Zhao Tianlei urged Zhao Zhirou to pursue Ning Qi so the Zhao Family could gain supreme Bloodline Power, but she refused.

• Zhao Tianlei confirmed the preparations and ordered the group to set out aboard the Flying Boat.
• Zhao Zhirou showed Ning Qi the Sumeru Courtyard’s cultivation formations, which accelerated cultivation and time.

Ning Qi and Shi Xiaokun succeeded in combining their formations to slow time in a portion of the Inner Realm, then began refining its Incense Power to help Ning Qi reach Golden Immortal strength. The attempt left Ning Qi’s meridians bursting and his body badly damaged, while Medicine Spirit and Shi Xiaokun worried over him.

• Zhao Zhirou refused Zhao Tianlei’s plan to pair her with someone from the clan, while Zhao Tianlei and Wang Haoran prepared their troops to act when they arrived.
• Ning Qi finished comprehending the array formations in Sumeru Courtyard, and Shi Xiaokun said the formation could be arranged in the Inner Realm.
• Ning Qi entered the Inner Realm and, with Shi Xiaokun’s help, eventually succeeded in forming an area where time moved much more slowly.
• Shi Xiaokun gathered the Inner Realm’s Incense Power, and Ning Qi began refining it to break through to Golden Immortal strength.
• Incense Power filled Ning Qi’s flesh and meridians until they burst apart, leaving him bloodied as Medicine Spirit tried to heal him and questioned Shi Xiaokun.

• Ning Qi discovered an intact cemetery behind a restrictive barrier, which revealed a protective Light Screen and released a fierce Gang Wind when he tested it.

Ning Qi entered a graveyard where the souls of buried experts powered the surrounding formations and mechanisms, then began absorbing the corpses’ strength to increase his cultivation. As he refined their power below, the mechanisms outside stopped working, allowing Wang Haoran’s Devil Race army to disable the puppets and prepare to report the change.

• Ning Qi discovered that the graveyard’s Soul Power controlled its arrays and entered a tomb with Medicine Spirit after breaking its entrance prohibition array.

• The Boundary Spirit told Ning Qi that opening the courtyard’s formation could release the sealed people and troops and make Ning Qi master of the world.
