• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue worried that Jiang Liu’s formation would keep its master from finding the Chaos Space, but it could not stop him.
• Jiang Liu found that the larger area and the Void’s corrosive force would make the formation consume far more energy, potentially draining the Chaos Space’s white mist.
• Jiang Liu returned to the Chaos Space and took out all the divine artifacts he had obtained from the cave.

Jiang Liu prepared a vast Concealment Formation using the Artifact Spirits of ancient divine artifacts as its energy source, then heard the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue suggest leaving a weakness in the formation. The suggestion would let the Rule God Lord investigate the Chaos Space, leaving Jiang Liu torn between trusting his longtime helper and protecting himself from discovery.

• Jiang Liu chose more than a hundred ancient divine artifacts as formation cores, knowing their Artifact Spirits might be consumed and the artifacts permanently weakened.
• He inspected the artifacts' existing formations, assigned new patterns to them, and spent several days engraving the Concealment Formation.
• After Jiang Liu finished engraving the artifacts, the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue approached him with a question and a suggestion.
• Jiang Liu realized the suggestion would leave a weakness that the Rule God Lord or other God Lords could use to find the Chaos Space.
• Jiang Liu considered destroying the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue but hesitated because it had repeatedly helped him, and he feared that refusing might put the Chaos Space at risk.

Jiang Liu rejected the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue's suggestion and began concealing the Chaos Space to prevent other God Lords from tracking it down. After building the formation sections, he ran into trouble when the divine artifact spirits serving as cores resisted being connected.

• After more than ten days, Jiang Liu finished setting up the separate Concealment Formations and began connecting them.
• The divine artifact spirits serving as formation cores clashed when Jiang Liu tried to connect the formations, forcing him to block their attacks and confront the unexpected difficulty of their hostility.

Jiang Liu decided to force the divine-artifact spirits to cooperate so the Concealment Formation could keep operating. Most of the spirits submitted, but he crushed the consciousnesses of the four who continued to resist.

• Jiang Liu concluded that he could not reconcile the artifact spirits’ inherited grudges and chose to suppress them by force.

• Jiang Liu subdued the Three-Eyed Flying Tigers with his Divine Sense pressure but spared the clan and questioned its leader.
• The leading Three-Eyed Flying Tiger explained that Heaven and Earth Essence had suddenly erupted in the mountains, driving exotic beasts to fight over territory before they settled into clans.

After the wolf packs attacked him, Jiang Liu pulled the Skywolf and the unconscious Qin Bailian close, leaving the Skywolf trembling before him.

• The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger leader urged its clan to cultivate quickly after Jiang Liu departed, hoping to break through before he suppressed the beasts.
• Jiang Liu flew to a mountain range filled with wolf-clan exotic beasts and found Qin Bailian pinned beneath a Fourth-Tier Saint Realm Howling Moon Skywolf.

Concluding that the Demon God was trying to draw him out, Jiang Liu ordered Qin Bailian to summon representatives of the Jianghu forces to the imperial city.

• Jiang Liu restrained the Howling Moon Skywolf and found Qin Bailian had no serious injuries, but dark primal qi was trapping his Divine Sense and internal breath.
• Jiang Liu used the Heavenly Evolution Codex to remove the dark primal qi, and Qin Bailian woke and thanked him.

• After hearing Qin Bailian’s account, Jiang Liu ordered him to summon representatives of all Jianghu forces to the imperial city, and Qin Bailian left to carry out the order.

Jiang Liu identified six major Essence eruption sites and planned to build a great city in each to suppress the Earth Veins and strengthen the Human Race. He returned to Qian City and asked the Jianghu forces to help build them, leaving the officials concerned about the Holy Dynasty’s finances and the forces’ growing power.

• Jiang Liu surveyed the Ten Thousand Mountains and found six major Essence eruptions in Yun Province, Qi Province, Qian Province, Tian Province, Mo Province, and Feng Province.

• The major forces agreed to contribute, but grew hesitant after learning powerful exotic beasts occupied the sites and worrying that construction could provoke a beast tide.

Mo Han and the other force leaders agreed to support building cities in Qi Province after Qin Bailian assured them Jiang Liu would deal with any exotic beasts that threatened the project. In the imperial palace, Li Qiaoyun told Jiang Liu she had come to marry him, leaving him unsure how to respond to a promise Murong Yin and Feng Yue had made years earlier.

• Mo Han pledged Exotic Beast Valley's people and resources to clear exotic beasts and prepare for the city-building project, prompting the other force leaders to offer their support.
• Qin Bailian assured the leaders that Jiang Liu would personally eliminate any exotic beast race that interfered, and they set construction assignments, divided city territories, and planned city guard armies.
• Li Qiaoyun visited Jiang Liu in the imperial palace and told him that Murong Yin and Feng Yue had promised she could marry him once she reached the Peak Grandmaster level.
• Jiang Liu realized Li Qiaoyun had taken the old promise seriously and wondered how he could handle it now that his other women were in the God Realm.

Jiang Liu oversaw construction at the six spiritual-energy eruption sites while waiting for the mutant beasts to respond. As city walls neared completion, a violent tremor and surging auras signaled that the beast tide had begun.

• Li Qiaoyun asked Jiang Liu to honor a promise, but he stalled until Murong Yin and Feng Yue returned.
• The factions captured all six designated sites and began building cities, while Jiang Liu declined Elder Han Bai’s offer to have the Frost Race help.

Jiang Liu killed the Fire-Winged Monkey leading the beast tide in Qian Province and used essence blades to eliminate dozens of high-tier exotic beasts. After learning that another beast tide had erupted in Tian Province under a second Fire-Winged Monkey, he rushed there and saved Qin Bailian and the other martial artists, while growing suspicious of the repeated appearance of these beasts.

• Jiang Liu saw that the beast tide in Qian Province was led by a Fourth Tier Saint Realm Fire-Winged Monkey that was close to breaking through to the Divine Realm.
