• Li Yun realized that Chen Longxiang was being assimilated by the Canglan Realm and, after considering the problem, said he had a method that might help him.

Li Yun taught Chen Longxiang the Severing Dao Body Technique, allowing him to separate the part of himself bound by the Canglan Realm’s karma. After Chen Longxiang’s Dao body fused with the realm’s origin, his weakened original body was freed from that karma, while he gained the realm’s vast perspective and power.

• Chen Longxiang praised Li Yun’s technique for letting him separate a clone from the Dao and soul fused with the Canglan Realm, and Li Yun named it the Severing Dao Body Technique.
• Li Yun warned Chen Longxiang to keep the technique secret, explaining that he had used Destiny Power and Chen Longxiang’s fate to make the severing possible.
• Li Yun urged Chen Longxiang to sever his Dao body before using more of the realm’s power could worsen his assimilation.
• After several days of preparation and study, Chen Longxiang condensed a Formless Divine Blade and severed his Dao body on the seventh day.
• Chen Longxiang’s original body rapidly weakened and aged, while the Dao body inherited nearly all his cultivation, absorbed the Canglan Realm’s karma, and fused with its origin.
• Through the fused Dao body, Chen Longxiang could perceive the whole Canglan Realm and realized he could use its power to crush even Star Dao Heaven Immortal Authority within its borders.

Chen Longxiang cut out his Dao Body, escaped the burden of karma, and comprehended the Heaven-Deceiving Immortal Art. He chose to begin cultivating the Wind Dao under Li Yun’s guidance, then offered Li Yun access to one-third of the Canglan Realm’s origin.

• Chen Longxiang restored his vitality after cutting out his Dao Body and told Li Yun he had comprehended the Heaven-Deceiving Immortal Art.
• Li Yun recognized the art’s potential and perfected it with Cognition Points.
• Chen Longxiang asked Li Yun to guide him in cultivating a Great Dao outside the Water Dao, and chose the Wind Dao for its freedom.
• Li Yun transferred his Wind Dao perceptions to Chen Longxiang, whose Dao Body sealed part of them because his main body could not bear the full insight.
• Chen Longxiang opened a portal to the Canglan Realm’s origin and offered Li Yun one-third of it.
• Li Yun considered the offer, seeing a chance to advance his Water Dao toward condensing an Immortal Principle.

Li Yun used a third of the Canglan Realm's source to transform the Water Dao into an Immortal Principle, strengthening his cultivation, while Chen Longxiang secretly allied with him. Chen Longxiang lured He Chongxiao into Canglan Divine Hall, where he found Li Yun waiting and tried to flee.

• Li Yun took one-third of the Canglan Realm's source and used it to help the Water Dao become an Immortal Principle within three days.
• Li Yun's Mysterious Gate cultivation advanced from the second to the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm, and his Primordial Chaos Mana reached the middle of the Eighth Grade.
• Chen Longxiang made progress cultivating the Wind Dao technique, and he and Li Yun paused their cultivation to deal with He Chongxiao.
• Chen Longxiang summoned He Chongxiao to Canglan Divine Hall, and He Chongxiao brought his three remaining Earth Immortal Authority subordinates.
• He Chongxiao entered the hall and found Li Yun seated beside Chen Longxiang, realized they had set a trap, and turned to flee.

Li Yun and Chen Longxiang defeated He Chongxiao and his three subordinates, then prepared to leave the Canglan Realm before Void Star Hall returned. Just as they were about to activate the Ancient Teleportation Array, a vast river and an ancient ship appeared in the void, causing the Canglan River to boil beyond Chen Longxiang’s control.

• Chen Longxiang used the Canglan Realm’s power to pin He Chongxiao and his three subordinates to the floor of the Canglan Divine Hall.
• Li Yun swallowed the four men into the Mystic Gate and spent three days refining them, raising his Stars Dao cultivation to the fifth level of Human Immortal.
• Li Yun and Chen Longxiang decided to leave the Canglan Realm before Void Star Hall descended again in three days.
• As they prepared to activate the Ancient Teleportation Array, a vast river appeared in the void with an ancient great ship moving along it.
• The Canglan River began boiling, and Chen Longxiang could not suppress it even by mobilizing the World Will.

A torrent of water and spiritual energy poured through a rift into the Canglan Realm, replenishing its origin and setting it on the path toward a higher grade. As Li Yun and Chen Longxiang watched, an ancient ship’s prow entered the rift, and a slender figure appeared on it, gazing down at the realm.

• Li Yun recognized that water-element World Spiritual Energy, rather than Star Power, was flooding into the Canglan Realm, and Chen Longxiang saw a vast river and ancient ship beyond the rift.
• A torrent poured from the sky into the Canglan River, causing massive floods before its spiritual energy replenished and rapidly expanded the Canglan Realm’s World Origin.
• Chen Longxiang realized the realm was growing in size and advancing toward high-tier Yellow Grade, while Li Yun’s Ten Thousand Waters Transform into Dragon began ascending toward a Heaven Immortal Law.
• A vast ancient ship’s prow appeared through the rift, bringing the Canglan Realm’s currents and all motion to a halt with its immense pressure.
• A horn sounded, and a slender figure appeared on the ship’s prow and looked down at the Canglan Realm with an overwhelming, godlike gaze.

A figure from the Divine Water Heavenly River destroyed the Void Stars Hall’s attack and merged the Canglan Realm into the river’s tributary, leaving Li Yun worried that an Epoch Calamity was approaching. Chen Longxiang then realized the waterfall offered Canglan Realm cultivators a path upstream to the Divine Water Immortal Palace.

• The Void Stars Hall descended early, and Li Yun and Chen Longxiang prepared to fight its arrival.
• The ancient-ship figure declared the Canglan Realm part of the Divine Water Heavenly River’s tributary and destroyed the Void Stars Hall’s phantasm and its emerging figure.
• The figure announced that tributary inhabitants could enter the Divine Water Immortal Palace and that those who went upstream could become True Disciples, then sailed onward.
• Li Yun concluded that the Divine Water Immortal Palace and Void Star Hall were rival powers and feared their conflict signaled a coming Epoch Calamity.
• Chen Longxiang realized the waterfall was a route for Canglan Realm cultivators to travel upstream into the Divine Water Heavenly River.

Chen Longxiang chose to remain on the Wind Dao path instead of pursuing the Divine Water Heavenly River, while Li Yun prepared to try the waterfall himself. After the Canglan Realm grew stronger and its approaching Calamity Qi disappeared, Chen Longxiang left, and Li Yun headed for the waterfall.

• Chen Longxiang refused Li Yun's offer to cripple his Wind Dao cultivation and reaffirmed his commitment to the path he had chosen.
• Li Yun and Chen Longxiang returned to Canglan Divine Hall, while news spread that Water Dao cultivators could ascend the waterfall into the Divine Water Heavenly River.
• Countless cultivators tried to climb the waterfall, but only a few powerful, vigorous Integration Realm cultivators could withstand its immortal might.
• Over the next month, water-attribute energy nearly tripled the Canglan Realm's World Origin, strengthened Chen Longxiang's Dao Body, and caused the Calamity Qi to vanish.
• Chen Longxiang activated the Ancient Teleportation Array and left the Canglan Realm; after seeing him off, Li Yun headed to the waterfall to go against the current.

Li Yun left the Canglan Realm through Ascension Waterfall and entered the Divine Water Heavenly River, where he endured its powerful current and cultivated his Water Dao. After three months, he could no longer see the Canglan Realm or find anyone who had traveled upstream before him.

• Li Yun entered Ascension Waterfall, found its force too weak to stop him, and bid farewell to the Canglan Realm's cultivators.
• Li Yun passed through the fissure above the waterfall and plunged into the Divine Water Heavenly River.
• Li Yun struggled against the river's current, was swept backward three times, and then advanced carefully while absorbing its Spirit Qi.
• Li Yun cultivated in the river for three months, advancing his Water Dao to the second level of the Human Immortal realm.
• Li Yun turned back and discovered that the Canglan Realm had disappeared from view and that none of the earlier travelers were in sight.

Li Yun encountered a mysterious island in the Divine Water Heavenly River and discovered that its forest was a True Immortal-grade formation designed to make him fall asleep. As the drowsiness overwhelmed his Immortal Soul, he tried to strengthen it with the incomplete Immortal Venerable Technique Divine Mountain Suppressing Void, only to find that it required an enormous number of Cognition Points.

• Li Yun was bound by the Divine Water Heavenly River as a wave surged toward him, then watched the wave vanish and reveal an enormous island.
• Li Yun traveled upstream for two days, found other people’s footprints on the island, and followed them toward its center.
• Li Yun discovered that a rule prevented flight and identified the island’s forest as the True Immortal-grade Myriad Wood Profound Mystery Array, a Water Dao formation.
• Li Yun resisted the formation’s growing sleepiness while waiting for the system to load the array.
• Li Yun sat against a tree and checked the Cognition Point cost of improving Divine Mountain Suppressing Void, then was shocked by how high it was.

Li Yun learned that Divine Mountain Suppressing Void was an Immortal Venerable Technique and spent all his Human Immortal Cognition Points to cultivate its first layer, greatly strengthening his Immortal Soul. As a stronger wave of drowsiness swept through the forest, his Divine Mountain Immortal Soul resisted it while exhausted figures stumbled into view.

• Li Yun learned that Immortal Venerable Shenyue had created Divine Mountain Suppressing Void, a ten-layer technique that fused the Dao of Mountains into the Immortal Soul.
• Li Yun spent his more than seventy-three thousand Human Immortal Cognition Points to cultivate the technique as far as he could.
• The cultivation strengthened Li Yun's Immortal Soul and Mystic Gate, and the array's drowsiness faded as his soul advanced to the Second Grade Human Immortal Soul level.
• A wave of drowsiness three times stronger than before swept through the forest, but Li Yun's Divine Mountain Immortal Soul scattered it.
• Exhausted figures staggered through the forest, and some fell asleep beside tree trunks.

Li Yun escaped the forest’s test and reached the Divine Water Immortal Palace, where he reunited with Gu Daozhong and faced the hostile Black Baleful God. As the Black Baleful God attacked, Li Yun concealed his deeper powers and openly released the aura of the Water Immortal Principle.

• Li Yun followed a river through the forest and emerged at the Divine Water Immortal Palace’s white-jade plaza.
• Li Yun met Gu Daozhong and learned he had expected Chen Longxiang to come upstream as well.
• Li Yun told Gu Daozhong that Chen Longxiang had left through the Canglan Realm’s teleportation array and suggested they might meet again in the Sacred Heaven Realm.
• The Black Baleful God threatened Gu Daozhong, then attacked Li Yun for insulting him.
• Li Yun hid the Way of Nothingness True Intent and the Mystic Gate, while releasing the Water Immortal Principle’s aura as the Black Baleful Dragon struck.

Li Yun defeated and killed Black Baleful God with his Water Dao, then swallowed and refined the Earth Immortal’s Immortal Origin, raising his cultivation to the seventh level of Human Immortal. The Divine Water Immortal Palace’s three representatives awarded him a River Immortal Token and permission to cultivate there for three months before continuing to the next Immortal Island’s trial.

• Li Yun used Ten Thousand Waters Transform into Dragon to crush Black Baleful God’s attacks and shatter his Immortal Body.
• Li Yun seized Black Baleful God’s fleeing Immortal Origin and swallowed it while the Divine Water Immortal Palace refused to intervene.
• Li Yun refined Black Baleful God’s Immortal Origin inside the Mysterious Gate World, advancing from the second to the seventh level of Human Immortal.
• Li Yun returned to Gu Daozhong’s side without attacking anyone else, and the Divine Water Immortal Palace opened its gates.
• The palace’s leader praised Li Yun’s strength and Heaven Immortal Law, gave him a River Immortal Token, and granted him three months to cultivate before the next trial.

Li Yun received a River Immortal Token that let him comprehend the Long River Immortal Law and continue toward the Divine Water Immortal Palace’s next trial. Hong Liu Zhen admitted him to the palace to cultivate for three months, and watched with growing interest as Li Yun withstood the Immortal Array’s pressure and reached its center.

• The leader gave Li Yun a River Immortal Token, and it triggered his comprehension of the Long River Immortal Law.
• The leader told the plaza’s cultivators that only the top ten in a competition held six months later would receive tokens, then took Li Yun into the Immortal Palace.
• The leader let Li Yun cultivate in the palace for three months and explained that the next trial normally required Earth Immortal cultivation.
• Li Yun learned that the leader was Hong Liu Zhen, a ninth-level True Immortal and Outer Sect Protector, and thanked him for his support.
• Li Yun entered the Immortal Array, endured its pressure, and reached its center as Hong Liu Zhen watched and wondered if he had found a rare genius.

Li Yun emerged from the immortal array after three months with third-level Earth Immortal Water Dao cultivation, but Hong Liu Zhen mistook his rapid progress for reckless cultivation and dismissed him. Li Yun then traveled up the Divine Water Heavenly River and reached the second island in half a month.

• Li Yun spent three months in the immortal array, advancing his Water Dao to the third level of Earth Immortal and his Mystic Gate cultivation to the ninth level of Divine Martial.
• Hong Liu Zhen was shocked by Li Yun's advancement, then assumed he had failed to temper the Black Baleful God's Immortal Origin and decided he was not worthy of joining the Divine Water Immortal Palace.
• Hong Liu Zhen opened the way back to the Divine Water Heavenly River and coldly sent Li Yun toward the second trial.
• Li Yun thanked Hong Liu Zhen and left, puzzled by his sudden change in attitude.
• Li Yun found the upstream current easier to resist thanks to his Water Dao cultivation and Long River Immortal Law, and reached the second island in half a month.

Li Yun reached the Second Island and learned that cultivators from Mystery Grade Worlds looked down on those from Yellow Grade Worlds. After clashing with a blue-clad youth during the selection, Li Yun vowed to kill him once the test was over.

• Li Yun arrived on the Second Island, where a blue-clad youth invited him to travel with the group, then abandoned the invitation after learning Li Yun came from the First Island and a Yellow Grade World.
• Li Yun followed the group to a White Jade Plaza, where a Purple-Robed Woman announced the selection trial for five hundred candidates.
• The blue-clad youth insulted Li Yun, and Li Yun cursed back, drawing the attention of the candidates and the Purple-Robed Woman.
• The blue-clad youth blamed Li Yun for the disturbance, but Li Yun explained that he had retaliated after being mocked and had believed the First Island's rules applied.
• The Purple-Robed Woman said the rules were the same but forbade further trouble during the active test, and Li Yun and the blue-clad youth each vowed to kill the other afterward.

Li Yun waited for his turn to enter a deadly fire array, delighted that it had triggered a new immortal art and Cognition Points. After several teams were wiped out, three Earth Immortal Ninth Layer cultivators passed, and Lan Tianze mocked Li Yun before Li Yun threatened him.

• The Purple-Robed Woman began the Second Island trial, requiring participants to endure three days inside a fire array evolved from a True Immortal Law.
• Li Yun gained Cognition Points and triggered the immortal art Immortal Fire Buries the World as he waited in the last row.
• The first five teams were wiped out, and two Earth Immortals died after failing to escape the array in time.
• Three Earth Immortal Ninth Layer cultivators from the sixth row endured three days and received Great River Immortal Tokens.
• Lan Tianze mocked Li Yun for being an Earth Immortal Third Layer from a Yellow Grade World, and Li Yun told him to wait until they entered the array.
