• Shen Luo, chief of Yunlai Temple’s Arhat Hall, thanked Li Yun for reducing the calamity qi and praised his connection with Xu Ming; Li Yun recognized the monks’ change in attitude and politely dismissed him.
• Li Yun resumed cultivating beside the Immortal Fall Sea, where the reduced calamity qi made the Power of Karma easier to comprehend and helped the Great Karma Technique load faster.
• Li Yun estimated that the Great Karma Technique would finish loading in about two days and resolved to use the Power of Karma to track down the Myriad Phenomena Origin.

Jin Wushuang berated Li Qiuxian for failing to gather powerful prodigies to help weaken Li Yun’s destiny, then learned Li Yun was descended from the Liehuang Imperial Clan. He ordered Li Qiuxian to reveal the connection sooner, realizing it could let him trace Li Yun through their bloodline karma.

• The Power of Karma leaked from Li Yun and attracted the attention of experts at Yunlai Temple Sacred Land.

Li Yun discovered that his newly revealed mastery of the Karma Dao let him see the karmic threads and forces entangling everyone near the Immortal Fall Sea.

• Li Yun realized the Gate of Myriad Wonders had protected him from his vast karmic burden and felt relieved.

Li Yun discovered that the Gate of Myriad Wonders concealed his karmic entanglements and decided to test actively severing a Karma Thread. He isolated the thread connected to Zhu San, cut it, and was struck by transparent Karmic Fire that caused bone-deep agony.

• Li Yun learned that the Forbidden Divine Charm of the Gate of Myriad Wonders suppressed the Karma Threads near him and chose a thin thread connected to Zhu San.
• Li Yun considered the risks of settling karma by resolving it, killing the other person, or forcibly snapping the Karma Thread.
• Li Yun decided to sever the thread connected to Zhu San, using the Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo to isolate its karmic force from his other karma.
• Li Yun cut the Karma Thread, igniting its karmic force into transparent Karmic Fire that struck him and caused intense agony.

Li Yun endured Karma Fire for three days while severing Karma Threads, hoping to trigger the system and find a way to reduce his immense karmic burden. After choosing a thicker thread tied to a Heavenly Human Supreme he had killed, he finally comprehended Red Lotus Karma Fire, leaving him hopeful that he could soon handle karma without suffering its burn directly.

• Li Yun severed two thin Karma Threads and endured brief but agonizing burns without triggering the system.
• Over three days, Li Yun snapped twenty-seven Karma Threads, slightly easing his burden but growing pale and finding no new insights.

• Li Yun hoped the Immortal Art would give him a safer way to deal with karma as its loading began.

Jin Wushuang built a Karma Altar with the materials Li Qiuxian had gathered and began using it to trace Li Yun through the Liehuang Imperial Clan’s bloodline. As the altar activated, Jin Wushuang focused on tracing downward, unaware that his inexperience had led him to overlook something important.

• Li Qiuxian gathered nearly all the materials Jin Wushuang requested, but could not find the Celestial Phenomenon Stone, White-Headed Flying Gold, or Cloud Milk.
• Jin Wushuang decided not to wait for the missing materials and spent three days building a Karma Altar in the Liehuang Imperial Clan’s forbidden ground.
• Jin Wushuang told Li Qiuxian to provide a drop of essence blood and explained that the altar could trace Li Yun through the clan’s bloodline or attack him with a Karma Blade.
• Li Qiuxian placed his essence blood on the altar, and Jin Wushuang inserted his karma Immortal Artifact, which had three uses remaining.
• Jin Wushuang activated the altar and traced downward through the Liehuang Imperial Clan’s bloodline, but his nervous inexperience caused him to overlook something important.

Li Qiuxian sought help from Ancestor Hua after Jin Wushuang occupied the imperial palace and tried to use a karmic Altar against the Liehuang Imperial Clan. Ancestor Hua uncovered Li Qiuxian’s evasion and erupted when he revealed that Fire Ancestor and Tree Ancestor had secretly met the Divine Tree.

• Jin Wushuang wasted the karmic Immortal Artifact’s first use searching the Liehuang Imperial Clan’s bloodline for Li Yun, then blamed and berated Li Qiuxian.
• Li Qiuxian left the Imperial City under the pretext of gathering materials and went to a secluded valley to seek Ancestor Hua, Li Tianhua.
• Li Qiuxian told Ancestor Hua that Jin Wushuang had taken control of the palace, demanded his blood essence, and planned to use bloodline karma against the clan’s children.
• Ancestor Hua questioned why Li Qiuxian had not sought help from Fire Ancestor and Tree Ancestor, then accused him of lying about being unable to contact them.
• Li Qiuxian confessed that Fire Ancestor and Tree Ancestor were in the Heavenly Wood Secret Realm communicating with the Divine Tree, which had returned more than a year earlier.
• Ancestor Hua angrily rebuked Li Qiuxian and the others for concealing the Divine Tree’s return from her.

Ancestor Hua learned that the Liehuang Imperial Clan had hidden the Divine Tree’s return and was targeting Li Yun, Prince Yuan Chang’s descendant, and he berated Li Qiuxian for the clan’s treatment of them. He agreed to help if Li Yun was restored to the clan and given princely status, then revealed he was close to reaching the Human Immortal realm; Li Qiuxian raised another matter for him to decide.

• Ancestor Hua became furious when Li Qiuxian revealed that the Divine Tree had returned but the other two ancestors had kept it from him while trying to repair its injured origin.
• Ancestor Hua learned that a peak Earth Immortal was using Li Qiuxian’s essence blood and bloodline karma to target Li Yun, Prince Yuan Chang’s descendant, and condemned the Liehuang Imperial Clan for abandoning him.
• Li Qiuxian said he had cleared Li Yun’s name, granted him the title of Xuan Yue County King, and would restore him to the clan and offer him the prince’s status and support.
• Ancestor Hua agreed to help if Li Qiuxian fulfilled his promise to Li Yun, and revealed that his Immortal Soul had formed and he expected to reach the Human Immortal realm within three years.
• Li Qiuxian congratulated Ancestor Hua and asked him to decide one more matter.

Li Qiuxian persuaded Ancestor Hua to help him pursue the Destiny Dynasty method while secretly delaying Jin Wushuang’s plans. At Immortal Perish Sea, Li Yun struggled with the slow progress of his Red Lotus Karma Fire Immortal Art and negotiated with Monk Xu Ming over an invitation to Yunlai Temple.

• Li Qiuxian told Ancestor Hua about the Destiny Dynasty and said he was feigning compliance with Jin Wushuang to obtain its method.
• Ancestor Hua agreed that Li Qiuxian should keep delaying the Causality Altar while he returned to the Heavenly Wood Secret Realm to consult two others.
• Li Yun lamented that his Red Lotus Karma Fire Immortal Art had progressed only to 4.1% in ten days without actively igniting karma fire.
• Monk Xu Ming thanked Li Yun for clearing Calamity Qi from Immortal Perish Sea and invited him to Yunlai Temple.
• Li Yun said he would visit in exchange for transplantable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, then asked to see Yunlai Temple’s scriptures on karmic power and Karmic Fire.

Li Yun followed Monk Xu Ming to Yunlai Temple Sacred Land to view the Red Lotus Lamp and agreed to help with a matter in return. After Yunlai Temple’s leaders accepted the deal without question, Li Yun wondered whether Xu Ming held a higher status than he appeared to, and asked Temple Master Shen Yue what help the temple needed.

• Monk Xu Ming offered Li Yun a chance to view the Red Lotus Lamp in exchange for Li Yun’s help, and Li Yun agreed.
• Li Yun showed Xu Ming Tiangu King Mountain, and Xu Ming noticed that its origin was damaged but recovering.
• Li Yun and Xu Ming traveled to Yunlai Temple Sacred Land, where Li Yun searched Myriad Phenomena Mountain for its hidden origin but found no trace of it.
• Temple Master Shen Yue and Yunlai Temple’s Integration Realm leaders welcomed Li Yun and agreed to Xu Ming’s deal, then sent someone to retrieve the Red Lotus Lamp.
• Li Yun grew suspicious that Xu Ming’s identity was more important than it seemed and asked Shen Yue what the temple needed his help with.

Temple Master Shenyue explained that Yunlai Temple’s Karma Sacred Tower was forged to gather the Ancient Celestial Continent’s chaotic karma, and asked Li Yun to help resolve a grave crisis tied to it. Li Yun learned the tower’s origin and recognized that Shenyue’s account concealed something, leaving the matter unresolved.

• Temple Master Shenyue warned Li Yun that Yunlai Temple’s secret concerned the lives of countless beings and asked him not to reveal it.
• Temple Master Shenyue offered Li Yun the Karma Fire Red Lotus Lamp in exchange for his help, and Li Yun’s system began sublimating his Red Lotus Karma Fire after he observed it.
• Temple Master Shenyue explained that the lamp was one of Yunlai Temple’s supreme treasures, capable of one peak Earth Immortal-level strike but dangerous enough to trigger a karmic fire frenzy.
• Temple Master Shenyue said Divine Monk Yunlai had forged the Karma Sacred Tower to collect chaotic karma and founded Yunlai Temple around it.
• Li Yun recalled his own deep understanding of the Karma Dao and rejected Shenyue’s explanation as a deception.

Li Yun realized Yunlai Temple had secretly shifted the Karma Sacred Tower and its accumulated karma to the Immortal Perish Sea, while Temple Master Shenyue concealed the truth behind a story about the Devil Race. Shenyue revealed that an even greater Calamity Qi Dynasty had formed beneath Yunlai Temple and asked Li Yun to help suppress it.

• Li Yun deduced that Divine Monk Yunlai had used the Karma Sacred Tower to gather the fortune and karma of all living beings, but had failed to master the Karma Dao.
• Li Yun concluded that Yunlai Temple had transferred the Karma Sacred Tower to the Immortal Perish Sea to shift its burden and draw other experts into sharing it.
• Li Yun hid his anger and questioned Temple Master Shenyue about how the Karma Sacred Tower had been lost.
• Temple Master Shenyue blamed the Devil Race for infiltrating Yunlai Temple and killing Divine Monk Yunlai, which he said caused the Karma Sacred Tower to mutate and form the Immortal Perish Sea.
• Temple Master Shenyue revealed that a vast Calamity Qi Dynasty had formed beneath Yunlai Temple and asked Li Yun to help suppress it.

Li Yun examined the Calamity Qi Dynasty sealed beneath Yunlai Temple and found that its calamity qi could nourish his Calamity Qi Demonic Lotus. He told Temple Master Shenyue he could try to resolve the danger, but ordered the monks to withdraw for three months and leave him control of the Demon-Sealing Immortal Artifact.

• Yunlai Temple's Integration Realm monks struggled to reinforce the Demon-Sealing Immortal Artifact as the Calamity Qi Dynasty grew more dangerous, and Temple Master Shenyue warned that asking other sacred lands for help would expose the temple's responsibility.
• Temple Master Shenyue brought Li Yun underground and asked him to help suppress the Calamity Qi Dynasty.
• Li Yun judged that the calamity qi threatened the Ancient Celestial Continent and was too vast for him to absorb quickly, but he sat among the monks and absorbed the qi leaking through the gate.
• The Calamity Qi Demonic Lotus craved the pure calamity qi, and Li Yun realized that feeding it the Calamity Qi Dynasty might help it bloom a fourth petal.
• Li Yun told Temple Master Shenyue he could resolve the Calamity Qi Dynasty but needed time, then ordered the monks to stay away for three months and leave him the method to control the Demon-Sealing Immortal Artifact.

Temple Master Shenyue withdrew Yunlai Temple's monks and revealed his plans for Li Yun and the Calamity Qi Dynasty. He believed Li Yun would enter the Demon-Sealing Immortal Artifact and die, while Shenyue secretly hoped his Martial Ancestor would return and save the Holy Land.

• Temple Master Shenyue agreed to let Li Yun handle the Calamity Qi Dynasty, gave him the method for controlling the Demon-Sealing Immortal Artifact, and led the exhausted monks away.
• Temple Master Shenyue assured the monks that Li Yun could resolve the crisis, then told Shen Huan that Li Yun had become an Innate Calamity Qi Spirit after obtaining Calamity Qi Great Dao origin from the Immortal Perish Sea.
• Temple Master Shenyue revealed that an Innate Spiritual Treasure of the Calamity Qi Great Dao had also appeared and claimed he had left a backup plan to kill Li Yun if he entered the Calamity Qi Dynasty.
• Shen Huan mentioned the mysterious item Yunlai Temple sought, and Temple Master Shenyue warned him not to speak of it because it might alert a powerful person.
• After Shen Huan left, Temple Master Shenyue prayed for his Martial Ancestor to return and evolve the true Calamity Qi Dynasty, fearing Li Yun would destroy the Holy Land if he returned alive.

Li Yun faced the Soul-Extinguishing Wind during his Immortal Soul Tribulation and used the Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo to devour it, advancing the Great Dao of Wind to Origin Dao and forming a Wind Avatar. He released the avatar, which greeted him as its true self.

• Li Yun sensed the Soul-Extinguishing Wind emerging from the Immortal Gate and used the Forbidden Divine Charm to crush it into pure Great Dao of Wind essence.
• The Great Dao of Wind devoured the essence and advanced from the ninth level of Dao Embryo to Origin Dao, forming a portal across its source.
• Li Yun’s Divine Soul contributed a wisp of origin to the portal, which became the Wind Avatar; Li Yun released it, and it greeted him as the true self.

Li Yun endured the Immortal Soul Tribulation, gaining six Great Dao avatars and transforming his soul into an immortal soul. As the Immortal Gate vanished, an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon invaded the Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo to take over his body, and Li Yun prepared to use the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone against it.

• Li Yun named his newly formed Wind Avatar Feng Wuxiang and sent him away to pursue the winds and develop the Wind Dynasty.

• Li Yun completed the Immortal Soul Tribulation, transformed his Divine Soul into an immortal soul, and gained Immortal Sense.
• An unseen Outer Realm Heavenly Demon invaded the Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo and tried to fuse with Li Yun, claiming that it was part of him.
• Li Yun declared that the invader was not him and that the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone would be its grave.

Li Yun suppressed and killed an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, then used the Great Heart Demon Technique to create his seventh Great Dao avatar. He kept the terrifying Heart Demon Daoist fused within himself to guard his Dao while the Heart Demon Great Dao continued to evolve.

• Li Yun used the Forbidden Divine Charm to reveal and suppress the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, gaining 60 Human Immortal Level Cognition Points as the technique loaded.
• Li Yun killed the demon after three double-hours, then spent his cognition points to bring the Great Heart Demon Technique to the Perfection Realm.
• The technique and the demon’s remaining devil qi drove the Heart Demon Great Dao into the Divine Martial Realm and formed Li Yun’s seventh avatar, the Heart Demon Avatar.
• Li Yun realized Outer Realm Heavenly Demons arose from living beings’ heart demons and that his avatar could spread and feed on heart demons.
• Li Yun named the avatar Heart Demon Daoist, ordered him to guard and protect his Dao, then fused him away and left the Heart Demon Great Dao to evolve.

After his Immortal Soul Tribulation ended, Li Yun discovered that a projection of the Immortal Gate remained inside his Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo, strengthening his soul, body, and Great Dao Rivers. Unable to explain why it stayed, he suspected the Gate of Myriad Wonders was responsible and decided to keep cultivating.

• Li Yun finished dealing with the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, and his Immortal Soul Tribulation came to an end.
• Li Yun discovered that the Immortal Gate remained open inside his Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo and continued nourishing him.
• Li Yun recalled how the Lord of Myriad Immortals tried to seize the Immortal Gate and was erased, along with thousands of other Immortal Sovereigns implicated in his scheme.
• Li Yun concluded that the Immortal Gate within him was only a projection, since its true body would destroy his Dao Embryo.
• Li Yun suspected the Gate of Myriad Wonders had caused the anomaly and chose to stop questioning it and focus on growing stronger.
