• After another three million years, Li Yun reached the Boundary Sea's desolate edge with Snow Woman, Leng Yue, and the Ancestral Heaven Flower Goddess, where Ancient Gods lived in sealed cities on enormous meteorites.
• Li Yun chose the isolated Blackfish City, whose lord was an Ancient God of the Six-Wheel Realm, and secretly hid there with the three women.
• After a hundred years in Blackfish City, Li Yun told the three women his plans and quietly left to seek more Calamity and strengthen himself.

Li Yun entered the dangerous Middle Ring Region to cultivate with its dense Calamity Aura and resolved to reach the Nine-Wheel Realm before confronting those who had hunted him. Unaware that the Blood-Eyed Ancestor had quietly left the region after spotting him, Li Yun began refining Calamity and estimated he could reach the Eight-Wheel Realm within two hundred million years.

• Li Yun chose a place to cultivate and vowed not to leave until he reached the Nine-Wheel Realm, after which he would settle accounts with his pursuers.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor noticed Li Yun, dismissed him as a reckless Seven-Wheel Realm Ancient God, and quietly relocated to avoid drawing attention to himself.
• Li Yun began refining Calamity Aura with his Life-and-Death Millstone and found it far denser and more difficult to grind than before.

They met and exchanged names, and the Blood-Eyed Ancestor revealed that many powerful experts lived in the Boundary Sea’s Central and Inner Rings.

• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor returned to his former spot after several hundred million years and discovered that Li Yun had condensed an eighth Undying Heavenly Wheel.

• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor introduced himself, and Li Yun gave his name and asked whether he feared the Calamities’ erosion.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor told Li Yun that many experts hid in the Central and Inner Rings, leaving Li Yun curious about the Boundary Sea.

• Li Yun pretended he had fled to the Boundary Sea after offending the Second Young Venerable of the Three Saints Palace, and asked the Blood-Eyed Ancestor about refining Undying Heavenly Wheels.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor explained that Calamity could draw out and elevate the wheels' Immortal Traits, allowing Nine-Wheel Realm titans to pursue Nine-Wheel Unity.
• Li Yun realized that the Boundary Sea's Central and Inner Rings concealed many powerful titans, including Ancient God Yun Ze, and thanked the Blood-Eyed Ancestor for the warning.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor described the three stages of refining Undying Heavenly Wheels: Immortal Extremity, Eternal Birth, and Great Nirvana.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor said Yun Ze had reached Eternal Birth long ago and might already have entered Great Nirvana.

Li Yun learned from the Blood-Eyed Ancestor that his early production of Eternal Qi could help him advance toward becoming an Eternal Sage, then returned to Blackfish City to reunite with the Snow Woman, Leng Yue, and the Ancestral Heaven Flower Goddess. Leng Yue revealed that she had found a way into the Mystic Land, leaving Li Yun curious about how it had helped them recover.

• Li Yun realized that although he had begun producing Eternal Qi early, his Immortal Trait had not reached its limit, so he could not yet enter the true second stage of tempering.
• The Blood-Eyed Ancestor gave Li Yun a Message Talisman and advised him to keep a low profile and contact him if he faced unavoidable trouble.
• Li Yun left the Central Ring region and took a winding route back to Blackfish City to find the Snow Woman, Leng Yue, and the Ancestral Heaven Flower Goddess.
• Li Yun saw that the Snow Woman had regained her Six-Wheel Realm strength, Leng Yue had recovered her Five-Wheel Realm cultivation, and the Ancestral Heaven Flower Goddess had become an Undying Ancient God again.
• Leng Yue told Li Yun that the women had obtained resources through the Mystic Land, which she could access using a special mark left by her shattered Fortune-Steeling Stele.

Li Yun faced a Jiuwu Blade force led by Nie Feng Ancient God and Huanghou Ancient God, who had come to capture him and the three women.

• Li Yun explored the Altar’s clearing and sensed creatures watching from beyond its barrier.
• Li Yun spotted a cow in the mist and decided to investigate while Snow Woman and the other women gathered resources.
