Jiang Liu dismantled Blood Demon Island’s operations, discovered the Mystic Gate and received its Cultivation Pearl, then rescued Murong Lie and investigated a dangerous site tied to the imperial family. He returned to the Flowing Cloud Sect as rumors about Chen Qianliu and Liu Changxing’s Bloodfiend Art fueled unrest, while Tang Wanyu confronted him about leaving without her.
Jiang Liu and the three sects fought to destroy the Great Qian Imperial Family and cripple the Haotian Sect, while Jiang Lan escaped the capital through a secret passage. The Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect took control of Tian Province, then gathered to decide how to govern the realm.
The two sects established joint rule while Jiang Liu returned to Cloud Province, advanced to Peak Grandmaster, and prepared to investigate Blood Demon Island after its assault on Sea Gazing City. The arc ended with Jiang Liu sailing overseas as Situ Guang began secluded cultivation with captives from Great Qian.
Jiang Liu uncovered and destroyed Bloodfiend Sect and Blood Demon Island strongholds, then defeated the Seven Stars Islands’ invasion fleet. After destroying a temple tied to King Wuguan and suppressing a Wo Slave expedition, he weighed the danger of Dubhe Island and considered the report on East Wo Country.
Jiang Liu returned from the sea and helped bring the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect toward an alliance, agreeing to marry Gongsun Haoyue alongside Murong Yin and Feng Yue. As preparations began, hostile forces and dissenting elders quietly moved to undermine the wedding and the alliance.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue married and united the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect as the Star Cloud Saint Sect, then set out to investigate Medicine King Valley. There, Jiang Liu found Jiang Lan’s group and fought King Chujiang Hall forces, leaving Gongliang Tang and Gongliang Yi facing him and his allies after their six Grandmasters fell.
Jiang Liu defeated King Chujiang Hall’s forces, secured the Blood Attraction Flower, and pursued Gongliang Bo into the desert. After Gongliang Bo and Gongliang Chu were drawn into a hidden realm and killed, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue remained there to cultivate and search for a way out.
Jiang Liu advanced to the Saint Realm, uncovered the secret realm’s hidden workings, and brought it under his control. He left King Chujiang Hall alive but subdued, and made it answer to his future orders.
Jiang Liu moved the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation to Silent Valley and continued investigating the Halls of Yama while learning to forge and inscribe formations. He gave trusted allies tokens for entering the secret realm, then received word that King Chujiang Hall’s forces were heading to Yun Province to attack by sea.
Jiang Liu pursued the assassins to the islands, where he uncovered the Wheel King Palace and fought the Fifth Judge Palace while discovering the Source of the Netherworld. After crushing the island forces and East Wo Country, he prepared to seal the Source, then destroyed corrupted King Wuguan statues that triggered images in his Divine Sea.
Jiang Liu investigated the Source of the Netherworld, destroyed the Assassin Alliance headquarters, and joined the Donglings in battle against Wheel King Palace. After absorbing Wheel King’s statue, he endured a Dark Primal Qi corruption that brought him to the brink before the Fire-Winged Monkey and Gongsun Haoyue helped him recover, leaving him stronger and considering a Saint Realm advancement.
Jiang Liu forged Gongsun Haoyue a Voidmetal Talisman, then confronted Dark Primal Qi spreading from the Abyssal Hell and advanced to the Saint Realm. As he and Gongsun Haoyue headed back toward the mainland, Nether began searching for the Saint Heaven Sect disciple who had reached that realm, while unrest spread across the provinces.
Jiang Liu traveled across the provinces to purify corrupted martial artists and seal passages to Abyssal Hell, defeating several Nether Race fighters along the way. After the Frost Race’s Han Yi helped dispel Ming Heng’s chaotic qi, Jiang Liu prepared to enter Abyssal Hell and asked officials to report on the Black Tide’s aftermath.
Jiang Liu mastered the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation’s control over time, then entered Abyssal Hell and took the Soul-Seizing Lamp from Ming Lang. After proving himself to the Frost Race, he helped secure an alliance against the Nether Race and set out with Han Yi, Han Yue, and Han Shuang to attack Ming Qu.
Jiang Liu helped the Frost Race defeat the Nether forces, then returned to the outside world and protected Gongsun Haoyue through her breakthrough to the Saint Realm. The arc ended with Flowing Cloud Matriarch asking Jiang Liu to help her advance as well.
Jiang Liu rescued Gongsun Haoyue from Nether God’s ambush, uncovered the Frost Race’s history and a way to counter battle puppets, then returned with her to Dui Province. The arc ended as he disrupted a battle in the Changyun Mountains and turned the combatants against one another with an illusion formation.
Jiang Liu cleared the Halls of Yama’s forces, protected his companions through a perilous breakthrough, and returned to Abyssal Hell to aid the Frost Race. After Frost God died and Han Yi inherited his strength, Jiang Liu defeated the Nether God’s control over the Battle Puppets and made Dongyang Yi and Dongyang He his own.
Jiang Liu subdued Han Luo and the Dongyang Brothers, helped the Frost Race establish a new settlement, and learned that Nether Yao had seized the Nether Race temple. After returning to the Frost Race, he went to rescue Han Yue from the Void Illusion Formation near the Source of the Netherworld, but became lost inside it.
Jiang Liu uncovered the Source of the Netherworld’s nature, helped the Frost Race prepare for the spreading Dark Primal Qi, and reached the second stage of the Saint Realm. As he crushed the Halls of Yama’s operation, he traced their Dark Cloud Pills to the Physician Pavilion and began testing how they worked.
Jiang Liu uncovered the conspiracy behind the Dark Cloud Pills, defeated the plotters who attacked Silent Valley, and discovered the source of the Netherworld’s corruption. After reaching the Third-Order Saint Realm, he returned to face the political forces that had taken advantage of his absence.
