Han Liu persuaded Lin Xuankong to take him along, and Han Bao revealed that Qiu City was also Wang Youlin’s destination.

• The surviving Lizard Source Beasts fled, while the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors watched Lin Xuankong and Han Liu in astonishment.

Lin Xuankong and Han Liu saved Zhao Rong, Zhao Guang, and their Yun Song Nation team from a swarm of Lizard Source Beasts, then learned the team had maps marking possible Seventh and Sixth Tier Source Beast corpses in the Qiu Shan Mountain Range.

• Lin Xuankong and Han Liu agreed with Zhao Rong and Zhao Guang to split discoveries found by following their treasure map, then joined the team entering the Qiu Shan Mountain Range.

• A Sophora Wood Source Beast launched pods that exploded overhead, sending countless sharp Sophora Seedlings down at the Gene Warriors as they tried to dodge.

Lin Xuankong and the Yun Song Nation squad were trapped by hundreds of Sophora Wood Source Beasts, whose exploding pods injured several warriors and blocked the canyon exit. Lin Xuankong revealed that he could use the Primordial Vajra Body and led the charge toward the blockade, leaving the stunned squad to follow him.

• A Sophora pod burst into hard, fast-flying seeds, and Lin Xuankong realized the immense firepower of the approaching Sophora Wood Source Beasts.

• Zhao Guang urged the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors to follow Lin Xuankong as he raced nearly a thousand meters ahead toward the canyon entrance.

• Lin Xuankong resumed charging to within a little over a thousand meters of the beasts, while Zhao Rong called out in concern and Han Liu prepared to intervene if Lin Xuankong's life was threatened.

The group then reached a treasure site rumored to hold the remains of powerful Cloud Beasts, leaving Lin Xuankong wary of the Plant Type Source Beast in the forest.

• Lin Xuankong endured the Sophora Wood Source Beasts’ barrage as he charged toward the canyon entrance, while Han Liu worried that he was concealing his strongest abilities.

Lin Xuankong and Han Liu learned how Zhao Rong's squad planned to sneak into a forest of dangerous Plant Type Source Beasts using Hao Beast juice and a diversion. They entered the forest and found four dead Sixth Tier Cloud Beasts, leaving the group excited and wary of the force that had killed them.

• Lin Xuankong questioned Zhao Rong about how the squad could approach the treasure without alerting the Plant Type Source Beasts, and Zhao Guang explained that his late brother had researched their senses.
• Zhao Rong revealed that Hao Beast juice could mask the squad's scent and described a plan to scout with a drone, set off bombs as a diversion, and send half the team into the forest.
• Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, Zhao Rong, Zhao Guang, and the other Gene Warriors applied the juice and crept into the forest, avoiding the roots of the sleeping Plant Type Source Beasts.
• Explosions outside the forest drew the Plant Type Source Beasts away, allowing the team to hurry deeper through the trees.
• Zhao Rong signaled the group to stop when they reached a clearing filled with Cloud Beast corpses, including four enormous Sixth Tier Cloud Beasts.

Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors used staged explosions to distract the Plant Type Source Beasts and recover valuable materials and Source Stone Crystals from the Cloud Beast corpses. They escaped to a hidden cave with their haul and celebrated together, where Zhao Guang and Zhao Rong praised Lin Xuankong and Han Liu as overlooked geniuses.

• Zhao Rong signaled the team to approach the Cloud Beast corpses, and a second round of explosions drew nearby Plant Type Source Beasts away from them.

• Zhao Guang and Zhao Rong toasted Lin Xuankong and Han Liu, praising their strength and saying that the Tang Nation’s powerful families had overlooked them.

Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors encountered White Robe Wu Yong on their way out of the Qiu Shan Mountain Range, where he demanded their treasure and attacked them. As Wu Yong’s Flying Source Beast cut down the group, Han Liu and Lin Xuankong prepared to fight beside their new companions.

• Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors left the cave carrying Source Stone Crystals and headed toward the outer region of the Qiu Shan Mountain Range.

• Zhao Guang and the other Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors charged Wu Yong, but his Flying Source Beast’s Wind Blades stopped them and killed another warrior.
• Han Liu told Lin Xuankong that Wu Yong would kill them too, then summoned a Void Devouring Worm as Lin Xuankong prepared to fight.

Lin Xuankong froze White Robe Wu Yong and his enormous Flying Source Beast long enough for the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors to flee, but Wu Yong broke free quickly and began pursuing them. Lin realized their escape was still in danger as the group discovered the ice had already shattered.

• Han Liu's manifested Void Devouring Worm attacked the Flying Source Beast but was sliced apart by its Wind Blades, and Lin told Han Liu to recover while he faced Wu Yong.
• Lin used Water Drawing Technique and Ice Technique to freeze Wu Yong and his Flying Source Beast in ice more than ten meters thick, then ordered the others to escape.

Lin Xuankong and the Yun Song Nation Gene Warriors split up to escape White Robe Wu Yong, and Lin, Han Liu, and Zhao Guang made it to the edge of the Qiu Shan Mountain Range. Zhao Guang wanted to avenge the brothers who stayed behind, but Lin urged him to honor their final requests and carry their belongings back to Yun Song Nation.

• Zhao Rong proposed dividing the Gene Warriors into scattered groups because fleeing together would let White Robe Wu Yong and his Flying Source Beast catch them all.
• Zhao Rong used lots to choose who would join Lin Xuankong and Han Liu, but Zhao Guang gave the marked lot to Li Ji, who refused to abandon him.

• Lin Xuankong, Han Liu, and Zhao Guang escaped through two Plant Type Source Beast territories and reached the edge of the Qiu Shan Mountain Range.
• Lin Xuankong warned Zhao Guang not to turn back for revenge and urged him to carry the brothers' belongings to their families or friends.

Zhao Guang, Lin Xuankong, and Han Liu fled toward Yun City, but White Robe Wu Yong caught them and revealed that he had killed the other scattered squads. After Lin Xuankong refused Wu Yong’s offer to join Yunqin Nation, Wu Yong launched a deadly Wind Blade attack, leaving the three facing imminent danger.

• Zhao Guang accepted Lin Xuankong’s advice, and the three headed toward Yang City while hoping the other scattered Gene Warriors had survived.
