Ba Zunan’s schemes opened the Void Gate and brought Xu Xiaoshou and others to Void Island. Xu Xiaoshou defeated Double Fool, discovered a source of rare medicines, and attracted several powerful figures while Xiao Kongtong awakened stone giants.

• Ba Zunan wrote on the Saint Emperor’s Golden Edict, summoned Void Island, and sent it crashing toward Solitary Sound Cliff.
• Water Ghost opened the Void Gate and drew Jiang Buyi, Rao Yaoyao, and the other trapped Void Highers inside.
• Xiuyuan Ke learned the Second World and stopped Sky City’s descent with a sword strike, leaving himself barely alive.
• Xu Xiaoshou arrived on Void Island with Lei Xier, and the pair encountered a Void-Sealing Stele that registered them as criminals.

• Xu Xiaoshou learned that Void Island’s attendants offered survival resources and found a potential source of Sacred Trace Fruit-like medicines.
• Xu Xiaoshou refined Saint-Assist Pills and tested one on Greed God, who recognized its ingredients.
• Xiao Kongtong took a Demisaint rank and Demon God Spear from a cave, then fled as stone giants pursued him.

Xu Xiaoshou stole the Shennong Medicine Garden, advanced through its sacred medicines, and used its scent to turn the Void Attendants against his enemies. His scheme drew Jiang Buyi and Rao Yaoyao into a deadly confrontation, and the arc ended with Mei Suren intervening to save him.

• Xu Xiaoshou tricked Hong Dang into drawing the Void Attendant away, then moved the entire Shennong Medicine Garden into his Origin Mansion World.
• Xu Xiaoshou shared the garden’s Sacred Trace Fruits with Lei Xier and advanced to the Yin-Yang Realm and early Star Priest Realm, while his experiments with Saint-level power devastated parts of the Origin Mansion World.

• Mei Suren entered Jiang Buyi’s Saint Domain to take Xu Xiaoshou away and halted Jiang Buyi’s Saint-Slaying Cloud Light by manipulating time and space.

Mei Suren defeated Jiang Buyi’s attack, but Jiang Buyi used a Half-Saint Profound Decree to kill Xu Xiaoshou—or so his companions believed, until Xu Xiaoshou revealed his survival. As they headed for the First Hall of Sin, Mei Suren began teaching Xu Xiaoshou the sword, and assassins’ interference drove his cultivation into madness.

• Mei Suren used his Sword Manifestation and Nine Sword Techniques to defeat Jiang Buyi’s soul, but Jiang Buyi’s true body survived and devastated the Forest of Miracles.
• Xiao Kongtong and Ye Xiaotian intervened, and Jiang Buyi agreed to leave before his Half-Saint Profound Decree exposed Xu Xiaoshou and its thought incarnation pierced his heart.
• Mei Suren rose into Saint Tribulation to pursue Jiang Buyi, but Xu Xiaoshou revealed that he had survived by arranging his rescue with a Void Attendant.
• Xu Xiaoshou deceived the Void Attendant about Jiang Buyi’s theft of the medicine garden’s medicines and received sixty Void Crystals, while Jiang Buyi joined Five Declines of Heaven and Man.
• Xu Xiaoshou explained his schemes to Mei Suren, Xiao Kongtong, and Ye Xiaotian, then agreed to travel with them to the First Hall of Sin to address their death countdowns.
• Mei Suren taught Xu Xiaoshou the Sword Dao of Transmission and the Heart Sword Technique, then challenged him to manifest his truest self through Gods and Buddhas Under Eyes.
• Evil Elder and Ghost Granny attacked Xu Xiaoshou during cultivation, but Xiao Kongtong trapped them in an illusion array while Xu Xiaoshou’s fears overwhelmed his spiritual world.
• Xu Xiaoshou lost consciousness as his evil will attacked the manifestations of Gods and Buddhas Under Eyes and Sword Manifestation, while Mei Suren waited for him to resist the madness.

Xu Xiaoshou mastered Ghost Sword Technique, contracted Void General Red, and strengthened his abilities while Mu Zixi returned to her body. He joined Mei Suren and Xiao Kongtong to enter the First Hall of Sin, whose entrance transformed into the Ancient Past Forget-Worry Pavilion.

• Xu Xiaoshou defeated Evil Elder with his Heart Sword Technique, learned about the Uncanny Gate Evil Art, and killed him with Ash-Illuminating White Flame.
• Mei Suren taught Xu Xiaoshou Ghost Sword Technique, and Xu quickly mastered its early steps before contracting the Void General Red and defeating Ghost Granny with its help.
