Before he could leave the restaurant, he recognized Night Silence Ancient God, who had once tried to kill him, but Night Silence Ancient God did not recognize Li Yun.

After Li Yun extorted the Sky Desert Divine Hall, the Azure Abyss Domain branded him the Knocking Sage and grew wary of his return. Li Yun hid in a cave for more than forty years, using the quiet to avoid danger and strengthen his cultivation.

• The Nine Sages returned to the Sky Desert Divine Hall furious and ordered an investigation into Li Yun.
• The Sky Desert Divine Hall refused to explain the extortion, leaving the major factions uneasy about the unknown Sage.

• Rogue Cultivators dubbed the unknown Sage the Knocking Sage, and the name spread throughout the Azure Abyss Domain.
• After vanishing from view for more than forty years, Li Yun was revealed to be living in seclusion in a mountain cave between the Azure Abyss Domain and the Heaven-Shaking Domain.
• Li Yun kept out of sight because the returning Divine Dynasties and powerful Sages made the Primordial Land far more dangerous, and he needed to turn his Eternal Divine Medicines into strength.

Li Yun spent three hundred years cultivating in seclusion, slowly refining a powerful Eternal Divine Medicine, until Sage Yin Luo entered his cave while hiding from Beixuan. Sage Yin Luo suspected Li Yun was the Knocking Sage who had extorted the Nine Sages of the Sky Desert Divine Hall, but Li Yun claimed he had never heard of him.

• Li Yun refined the fifty Ordinary Tier Eternal Divine Medicines, then spent decades cultivating with a peak Heavenly Constant Eternal Divine Medicine, advancing only a small step beyond early Origin Constant.
• After more than two hundred additional years, Li Yun remained in seclusion as Sage Yin Luo arrived at his cave seeking a place to hide from Beixuan.
• Li Yun and Sage Yin Luo recognized that they were both Origin Constant Sages, and Li Yun concealed the Heavenly Constant-tier Eternal Divine Medicine within him.
• Sage Yin Luo asked Li Yun his name and, recalling the Sky Desert Divine Hall extortion, asked whether he was the Knocking Sage.
• Li Yun denied knowing who the Knocking Sage was, while Sage Yin Luo insisted that he had shaken down the Nine Sages and taken their Divine Medicines.

Li Yun learned that people had dubbed him Knocking Sage after he dealt with the Sky Desert Divine Hall, and he worried the provocative title could attract powerful enemies. Sage Yin Luo explained that the strongest Sages were occupied with plans for Ancestral City, leaving Li Yun curious about whether they could uncover the path to the Progenitor Realm.

• Sage Yin Luo recognized Li Yun as Knocking Sage, and Li Yun angrily rejected the title.
• Li Yun worried that the title might provoke powerful Heavenly Constant or Sage Constant figures, but Sage Yin Luo said they rarely traveled around.

• Sage Yin Luo explained that powerful Sages planned to build Ancestral City and jointly deduce the path to the Progenitor Realm, though old grudges had stalled their agreement.
• Li Yun felt relieved that the strongest Sages were occupied and wondered whether their joint effort could succeed.

Li Yun’s secluded cultivation was interrupted when Sage Yin Luo crashed into his hiding place while fleeing Sage Beixuan. After Yin Luo escaped, Beixuan arrived and locked onto Li Yun with a terrifying sword aura.

• A sword gleam cut through Li Yun’s hiding place, and he prepared to defend himself before deciding to leave.

• Sage Yin Luo tried to recruit Li Yun to help him seize Beixuan’s Peerless Scripture and Eternal Divine Medicines, but fled when he realized Beixuan had caught up.
• Sage Beixuan appeared and fixed a terrifying sword aura on Li Yun.

• Sage Yinluo realized Li Yun was far stronger than he had expected and fled, while Li Yun and Beixuan noticed him but did not pursue.

Li Yun and Sage Beixuan ended their eighteen-day duel without a victor, then celebrated their friendship and the growth their battle brought them. Sage Beixuan invited Li Yun to join him at a secret training place, and Li Yun had yet to answer.

• Li Yun and Sage Beixuan fought for eighteen days until their sword and blade attacks canceled each other, after which both disappeared from the battlefield.
• Sages who investigated found no trace of either fighter and concluded they had left rather than killed each other.
• Li Yun and Sage Beixuan reunited on Red Dragon Mountain, praised their duel, and joked about sparing Sage Yin Luo if he paid them in Eternal Divine Medicine.

• Sage Beixuan invited Li Yun to train with him at a place he had discovered and kept secret from the Ancient Cang Divine Court.

Li Yun and Sage Beixuan traveled to the World-Shocking Plain to enter a hidden Secret Realm and seek the Peerless Scripture’s true inheritance.

• Li Yun and Sage Beixuan arrived at the World-Shocking Plain, where Sage Beixuan described the World-Shaking Sword Gate’s former glory and its destruction by the Evil Wind.

• Sage Beixuan revealed that the Ancient Cang Divine Court’s founder had become an Ancestor during the Evil Wind, and Li Yun recognized the name Sage Canggu.

Sage Beixuan told Li Yun that the Ancient Cang Divine Court sought Progenitor Marks and that he needed the Peerless Scripture to survive, prompting Li Yun to reconsider his own plans for the four Wonder Books. The two entered the Secret Realm, while the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin revealed that it was watching them and competing with old Sages for the books and Progenitor Marks.

• Sage Beixuan explained that the Ancient Cang Divine Court had likely found Progenitor Marks and planned to use them to seize the completed Peerless Scripture from him.
• Li Yun realized that his complete Eternal Scripture could make him a target of the old-guard Sage Constants and wondered whether he should seek the other Wonder Books.
• Li Yun promised to help Sage Beixuan and followed him through a doorway into the Secret Realm, briefly glancing back before it vanished.
• The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin appeared on the World-Shocking Plain and identified the World-Shocking Book as being in the ruins of the World-Shaking Sword Gate.
• The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin said it hoped Sage Beixuan would assemble the book so it could use the four Wonder Books and Progenitor Marks to enter the Ancestral Realm, then departed while vowing to defeat the old Sages.

Li Yun entered a Sword City in the World-Shaking Sword Gate’s secret realm and learned the mysteries of the Three Peerless Swords by fighting its divine swords. After destroying the city, he obtained a page of the World-Shocking Book and went on to destroy another Sword City, finding a second page.

• Li Yun arrived at a Sword City and discovered that Sage Beixuan was no longer with him.
• The city’s people and buildings transformed into divine swords that attacked Li Yun, and he fought them while studying their World-Shaking Sword Intent.
• After ten days, Li Yun mastered the sword intent and destroyed the Sword City with a strike infused with the Three Peerless Swords.
• Li Yun collected a golden page of the World-Shocking Book from the ruins and suspected that the other Sword Cities also held pages.
• Li Yun teleported to another Ordinary Constant-level Sword City, destroyed it with his full strength, and obtained a second page.

Li Yun swept through Ordinary Constant and Origin Constant Sword Cities, collecting pages of the World-Shocking Book and deepening his understanding of Eternal Perfection. As he continued, he broke through to the mid-Origin Constant Realm and pressed on toward the Heavenly Constant Realm, gathering 498 pages in total.

• Li Yun broke through 250 Ordinary Constant Sword Cities and absorbed their World-Shocking Book pages, enriching his understanding of Eternal Perfection.

• Li Yun continued clearing Origin Constant Sword Cities, gathering pages until their power rose to nearly that of a veteran Origin Constant Sage.
• Li Yun broke through from early to mid-Origin Constant Realm after a little over a thousand years, then resolved to reach the Heavenly Constant Realm as quickly as possible.
• Li Yun kept clearing stronger Origin Constant Sword Cities until the World-Shocking Book within him reached 498 pages.

Li Yun was halted by the 499th Sword City, so he cultivated for eight hundred years and broke through to Origin Constant Late-Stage before conquering it. He realized that the World-Shocking Book should contain 500 pages for the Origin Constant Realm, leaving one final, potentially even harder Sword City ahead.
