• Experts found the cracked Cross Heaven Shield at the place where Tang Chuan had been ambushed, and Cao Lin questioned Yun Lou and Mo Yunxian about what had happened.

• Onlookers speculated about whether Bai Youruo would answer Cao Lin, while Young Master Ye received a message and learned that the Four Great Evil Spirits had caused the White Emperor Family a great calamity.

• Li Yun learned that Li Xin had secretly taken scattered Imperial Clan Descendants to Tiandu Imperial City, where most had disappeared and might have been used as sacrificial offerings.

• Li Yun told Bai Fantian, the Cloud Cliff Saintess, and Old Daoist Wuchen that Li Xin was a Holy Son of the Sacred Land Dao Palace and might use Zhentian Palace to attack the White Emperor Family’s Cave Heaven.
• The Cloud Cliff Saintess realized Zhentian Palace held four Holy Sons and two Holy Daughters, bringing her closer to finding the lost Sacred Land Dao Palace.
• Bai Fantian explained that the White Emperor Family’s main residence had been moved into Tiangu King Mountain, so Li Xin would find only ruins if he attacked the Cave Heaven.

• Li Yun agreed to stay cautious while privately intending to seek an opportunity to target the Liehuang Imperial Clan.
• Over two days, Li Yun refined the White Emperor Family’s Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, raising his Heavenly Origin Ring’s stock to six hundred thousand before his Myriad Treasures Divine Body reached the Proficient Realm and his body entered the Dharma Aspect Realm.

• Bai Fantian recalled Tiangu Supreme’s claim that deeper mastery of the Power Principle could have made the Barbarian Emperor impossible for space-time to restrain.

Bai Fantian explained that the Supreme Principles were Immortal Principles and that the Power Principle could break through everything, then advised Li Yun to focus his cultivation as he approached the Dharma Form Realm. Li Yun left the discussion considering whether he had touched the essence of power, while Bai Fantian warned him against pursuing too many paths.

• Li Yun questioned whether the Power Principle could surpass space-time, and Bai Fantian corrected Cloud Cliff Saintess’s account of the Supreme Principles.
• Bai Fantian explained that Supreme Principles were Immortal Principles and listed space-time, creation, destruction, judgment, fortune, and power among them.

• Bai Fantian advised Li Yun that reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm gave him the qualifications to comprehend the Power Principle, but warned him to avoid dividing his focus among too many paths.

Li Yun left the White Emperor Family after receiving Bai Fantian’s advice, while Zhentian Palace arrived to demand the White Emperor’s Legacy and threatened to destroy the family.

After Zhentian Palace attacked the White Emperor Family’s Cave Heaven, the Martial Dao world focused on White Emperor City, unaware that the family had already relocated to the Mysterious Moon Kingdom. Li Yun stopped in the Imperial City with Azure Lotus to visit an old friend, and he recognized something intriguing about the tavern waiter Gu Xiaosan.

• Zhentian Palace’s Void Comprehension Realm powerhouse ordered thirty Divine Martial Realm experts to bombard the White Emperor Family’s Cave Heaven, fueling rumors of a conflict with Cracked Heaven Crown Prince Li Xin and the Liehuang Imperial Clan.

• Li Yun and Azure Lotus entered a tavern in the Mysterious Moon Kingdom Imperial City, where Li Yun ordered wine and food and tipped the waiter, Gu Xiaosan.
• Gu Xiaosan felt he recognized Li Yun but could not remember where he had seen him, while Li Yun asked Azure Lotus whether the waiter was called Gu Xiaosan and remarked that he was interesting.

Li Yun recognized Gu Xiaosan as an innate Child of Destiny whose Destiny Aperture had not yet opened, and chose to let the opportunity come naturally rather than intervene. As he headed toward the Mysterious Moon Royal Palace with Azure Lotus, he spotted demonic aura there and vanished to investigate.

• Li Yun told Azure Lotus that Gu Xiaosan held dense innate destiny concealed in his nearly opened Destiny Aperture.
• Li Yun said he would observe Gu Xiaosan and might bring him to the Celestial Martial Sect, but he would not force his Destiny Aperture open.

Zhao Yunzhu claimed Li Yun and the White Emperor Family were doomed, leaving Zhao Ziyue and Evil Blade Supreme worried about what would happen next.

• Li Yun entered the Royal Palace and found Zhao Yunzhu there, though Ye Tianxie was missing.
• Zhao Yunzhu confronted Zhao Ziyue and boasted that her allies had been neutralized and she could not take the throne without using the Soul Control Forbidden Art against her father.
• Zhao Ziyue refused to kill the king and accused Zhao Yunzhu of trying to provoke her into doing so.
• Evil Blade Supreme appeared and warned Zhao Yunzhu that the Demon Spawn would bring him ruin, but Zhao Yunzhu ordered the gathered Demon Spawn to withdraw.
• Zhao Yunzhu claimed Li Yun had disappeared in White Emperor Inner City and that the White Emperor Family faced destruction, then left Zhao Ziyue and Evil Blade Supreme deeply worried.
