• Li Yun realized Huang Tian had concealed the Secret Key and agreed to guard Ancestor Wind Dragon while Huang Tian approached the Supreme Immortal Gate.

• Ancestor Wind Dragon urged Li Yun to stop Huang Tian, and Li Yun said he would try to sever Huang Tian’s connection by controlling the gate himself.

Li Yun absorbed the Supreme Immortal Gate’s power, which perfected his three thousand Supreme Venerable Dao Fruits and brought them closer to the Immortal Truth. After months of cautious observation, he discovered that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s will controlled sixty percent of the gate, making his plan to seize it extremely dangerous.

• Li Yun connected with the Supreme Immortal Gate and absorbed its power, causing his Dao Fruits to evolve and reveal traces of immortality.

• Li Yun sensed that the secret key’s runes were melting and that the process was quietly increasing Huang Tian’s cultivation.
• Li Yun discovered that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s will controlled sixty percent of the Supreme Immortal Gate and feared that taking it would be like stealing the Great Venerable’s base under his nose.

Li Yun secretly infiltrated the Supreme Immortal Gate despite the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era controlling sixty percent of it, relying on the Gate’s affinity for Limitless Qi. After three more months, he reached ten percent control, strengthened his Dao Fruits and immortal power, and resolved to seize the remaining control.

• Li Yun judged that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s imperfect control gave him a chance to infiltrate the Supreme Immortal Gate, though continuing risked alerting the Great Venerable’s will.

Huang Tian grew stronger while refining the key and imagined ruling the Ancient Wilderness Realm, but Ancestor Wind Dragon suspected that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era was using him as part of a revival plan. Li Yun and Ancestor Wind Dragon concluded that Huang Tian might need to be killed before the Great Venerable revived.

• Huang Tian used the key within the Supreme Immortal Gate to more than double his strength and began plotting to rule the Ancient Wilderness Realm and punish those he considered threats.
• Ancestor Wind Dragon sensed something familiar and unsettling when Huang Tian looked at him, and warned Li Yun that the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era might have awakened.

• Li Yun accused Ancestor Wind Dragon of hiding the extent of Great Venerable of the Ancient Era's control and using him to break the chains binding Ancestor Wind Dragon.
• Li Yun threatened to abandon Ancestor Wind Dragon if he acted recklessly, and Ancestor Wind Dragon agreed to watch Huang Tian and wait for Li Yun to free him.
• Li Yun reassured Ancestor Wind Dragon and continued infiltrating the Supreme Immortal Gate with Limitless Qi, finding that his progress had accelerated.

Li Yun cautiously infiltrated the Supreme Immortal Gate with Limitless Qi, reaching forty percent control without any reaction from Great Venerable of the Ancient Era. He suspected the silence was connected to Huang Tian’s astonishing rise to Supreme Venerable, but had not yet worked out how.

• Over thirteen years, Li Yun increased his control of the Supreme Immortal Gate to thirty-nine percent while worrying that further infiltration would alert Great Venerable of the Ancient Era.
• Li Yun reached forty percent control, but after waiting several minutes he sensed no reaction from Great Venerable of the Ancient Era.
• Li Yun told Ancestor Wind Dragon that Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s silence was itself suspicious, and Ancestor Wind Dragon was alarmed to learn Li Yun controlled forty percent.
• Li Yun noticed that Huang Tian had become a Supreme Venerable in barely over a decade and realized his rapid advancement might explain the strange lack of reaction.

Li Yun used his Limitless Qi to wrest control of the Supreme Immortal Gate from the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era, reaching an even fifty percent share. When that threatened the Great Venerable's revival plan through Huang Tian, he finally manifested his will and confronted Li Yun.

• Li Yun suspected the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era had knowingly let him seize the Supreme Immortal Gate to protect Huang Tian's revival, so he resolved to keep pretending ignorance while increasing his control.
• One of Li Yun's Supreme Venerable Dao Fruits condensed Immortal Truth, strengthening the Limitless Immortal Rule and raising his control of the Supreme Immortal Gate to forty-one percent.

• Li Yun used his greater control of the Supreme Immortal Gate to force its power against Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s Secret Key, while Great Venerable fought back.
• After half a month, Li Yun’s control rose from fifty-one percent to fifty-six percent, and Great Venerable’s fell from forty-nine percent to forty-four percent.

• Ancestor Wind Dragon returned to human form and refused to obey, accusing Great Venerable of treating him like a slave.

• Ancestor Wind Dragon refused to obey Great Venerable of the Ancient Era and endured the Ancient Immortal-Slaying Ban rather than submit.
• Over five days, Li Yun’s control of the Supreme Immortal Gate rose to sixty-one percent while Great Venerable of the Ancient Era’s fell to thirty-nine percent.

Ancestor Wind Dragon seized control of the Supreme Immortal Gate with the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed, leaving Great Venerable of the Ancient Era with only a fading wisp of will. After driving off Huang Tian, Wind Dragon confronted Li Yun and revealed the blood seed’s origins, while Li Yun still held forty percent control of the gate.

• Ancestor Wind Dragon spat out the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed and explained that it was born at the end of the First Chaos Epoch and ranked alongside the nine Supreme Immortal Gates.

Li Yun resisted Ancestor Wind Dragon’s Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed by absorbing the Supreme Immortal Gate’s power and strengthening his Dao Fruits. As Ancestor Wind Dragon attacked with a blood blade, Li Yun revealed that his provocation was deliberate and ordered the Supreme Immortal Gate to merge.

• Li Yun condensed another Dao Fruit’s Immortal Truth, reducing the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed’s blood light and recovering one percent of his control over the Supreme Immortal Gate.
• Ancestor Wind Dragon intensified the blood light, but Li Yun’s three Great Daos resisted it as he absorbed the Immortal Gate’s power and cultivated another Dao Fruit.
• Ancestor Wind Dragon realized Li Yun could directly absorb the Immortal Gate’s power and demanded that he reveal the method.

• Li Yun mocked Ancestor Wind Dragon for attacking and declared that he had lured him into a trap, then commanded, “Supreme Immortal Gate, merge!”

Li Yun joined the powers of two Supreme Immortal Gates, raising his control over both and crushing Ancestor Wind Dragon. He destroyed the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed and left Ancestor Wind Dragon alive to question after mastering the Supreme Immortal Gate.

• Li Yun opened a passage to the Supreme Immortal Gate on the Immortal Realm Continent and drew its power into the gate where he faced Ancestor Wind Dragon.

• Li Yun shattered the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed and used Limitless Qi to destroy the scattered resentment.
• Li Yun mocked Ancestor Wind Dragon, sealed his mouth, and began absorbing the Supreme Immortal Gate power while planning to interrogate him later.

Li Yun used power from two Supreme Immortal Gates to strengthen himself while pursuing full control of the gate in Desperate Abyss, leaving Ancestor Wind Dragon trapped and weakened. Meanwhile, the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era revived in a hidden space and concluded that Wind Dragon’s attempt to seize the gate had backfired, renewing his hope of reclaiming it.

• Li Yun found that controlling either Supreme Immortal Gate beyond seventy percent was difficult, so he focused on the gate in Desperate Abyss while continuing to draw power from both gates.
• Ancestor Wind Dragon remained trapped in Desperate Abyss, despairing as Li Yun grew stronger.
• The Great Venerable of the Ancient Era refined stored resources in a concealed space and vowed to kill Ancestor Wind Dragon and recover the Supreme Immortal Gate.

• The Great Venerable of the Ancient Era suspected Wind Dragon had used the Heaven-Resenting Blood Seed to contaminate the gate and suffered its backlash, then resolved to reclaim it after restoring his Indestructible Immortal cultivation.

After thirty years of cultivation, Li Yun reached ninety percent control of the Supreme Immortal Gate, but his progress stalled. He returned to the Immortal Realm Continent through a hidden passage to seek another Supreme Immortal Gate, where the Supreme Heavenly Lord contacted him.

• Li Yun raised his control of the Supreme Immortal Gate to ninety percent and helped 142 of the Three Thousand Great Daos condense Immortal Truth.

• Li Yun used a passage connecting the gates under his control to return from the Ancient Wilderness Realm to the Supreme Immortal Gate on the Immortal Realm Continent.
• Li Yun considered secretly entering the Immortal Realm Continent without alerting the Nine Supreme Immortals or the Supreme Heavenly Lord.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord sent divine sense into the gate, and Li Yun let it form a projected incarnation.

The Supreme Heavenly Lord questioned Li Yun about the Ancient Wilderness Realm and proposed a deal: Li Yun would enter the Immortal Realm Continent and steal Authority from the Southern Extreme Land’s Supreme Immortal Gate. Li Yun pretended to resist, insisting the theft was too dangerous and refusing the deal.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord revealed that he had used Shadow Ancestor’s investigation of the Despair Ruins to learn about the Ancient Era Temple and asked Li Yun whether the Great Venerable of the Ancient Era was alive.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord reasoned that Li Yun had escaped the Ancient Wilderness Realm by stealing some of its Supreme Immortal Gate’s Authority, and Li Yun acted surprised that he had guessed correctly.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord offered to cover for Li Yun entering the Immortal Realm Continent if Li Yun went to the Southern Extreme Land and stole Authority from its Supreme Immortal Gate.
