Xu Yi impressed Xue Zihan’s companions by completing their linked verse after Yu Feng appeared to bring it to a close. He then turned the group’s attention to attacking the meteorite wall to obtain a high-grade divine lattice for their master’s birthday.

• Xue Zihan began the linked verse with a line about clouds and mountains, and Song Lunqiu, Yu Feibai, Su Shanyue, Xiao Qiushui, Wu Chuncheng, Ning Kuoxing, and Zheng Zixu added lines that developed the scene.

• Xu Yi recognized the monsters attacking the group as formation beasts and studied the meteoric-wall patterns while Xue Zihan and the others fought them.
• The group shattered several meteoric walls, and Xu Yi earned merit points despite contributing little to the battles.
• Xu Yi left the group to study more walls and discovered that the hall’s formation used thirty-six distinct wall types.
• Yu Feng found Xu Yi, trapped him in a meteoric wall, and returned to Xue Zihan pretending he could not find him.
• Inside a strange space filled with meteoric walls, Xu Yi and Huangmei discussed Yu Feng’s unusual strength, and Xu Yi suspected he had used a divine ability from the Third Realm of Spirit Endowment.

Xu Yi deciphered the three-dimensional meteor wall formation and broke into a hidden Ancient Sacred Land, where he found Heavenly Demon Bones and the corpses of dead cultivators. Believing something sealed there had seized control of the Imperial Decree Platform, he removed both restrictions on himself and set out to find a way back to the great hall.

• Xu Yi realized the meteor wall formation extended in three dimensions and continued studying it to find an escape before the trial-takers outside broke through.
• Xu Yi opened a crack in the meteor wall and entered a small Ancient Sacred Land, where he discovered a stone chamber that seemed to have belonged to a resident.
• Xu Yi found a blood-red pond full of Heavenly Demon Bones and hundreds of corpses, including Zuo Xinghai.
• Xu Yi suspected that something supernatural sealed behind the meteor walls had taken control of the Imperial Decree Platform and caused the deaths.
• Xu Yi used the Four-Colored Seal to remove both his light-panel and spiritual-platform restrictions, then left to search for a route back to the great hall.

Xu Yi discovered six Buddha Dao Fruits being cultivated from the severed finger’s energy and suspected that Yu Feng was connected to the Imperial Decree Platform’s changes. He seized the fruits and twelve crystal beasts, then fled south toward a huge stone stele.

• Xu Yi used his spiritual power to reveal a forbidden array around three Buddha trees, where twelve crystal beasts fed the six Buddha Dao Fruits with pure wish power.

• Xu Yi opened the array with the Four-Colored Seal, captured the twelve crystal beasts, and plucked all six Buddha Dao Fruits.
• The Spirit Beast Bag broke inside the Four-Colored Seal Space, turning the beasts into crystal cores while the fruits remained intact; Xu Yi left the space and fled south toward a huge stone stele.

Xu Yi discovered that Yu Feng was the resurrected Yu Fengzi, whose remnant soul was sealed beneath the meteorite walls, and learned the walls were close to breaking. He triggered a reward calling on the cultivators to kill Yu Feng, but Yu Feng revealed overwhelming Third Realm divine power as he protected Xue Zihan.

• Xu Yi recognized Yu Fengzi's name on the Purple Refined Soul Suppressing Stele and deduced how Yu Feng had revived and taken a body.
• Old Desolate warned Xu Yi against confronting Yu Fengzi, but Xu Yi chose to stay and promised to find a way through the crisis with Big Yellow.
• Xu Yi used the stele's formation to enter the great hall, where cultivators were close to destroying the last three meteorite walls and Yu Feng was protecting Xue Zihan.
• Xu Yi altered one wall to display a reward for killing Yu Feng, prompting the cultivators to rush toward him.
• Yu Feng shielded Xue Zihan from the crowd's attacks with two suns, revealing his Third Realm divine power.

Yu Feng fought off the crowd while Xue Zihan stood by him, but ghostly flames suddenly struck the attackers and exposed Yu Fengzi’s control of the Imperial Decree Platform. Xue Zihan confronted Yu Feng over his identity, and Song Lunqiu demanded to know where Xu Yi was.

• The crowd urged Yu Feng to leave Xue Zihan behind and attacked him in hopes of claiming the Supreme Godhead, while Xue Zihan vowed to fight beside him.

• Xue Zihan confronted Yu Feng about who he really was, and Song Lunqiu asked where Xu Yi had gone.

• Yu Feng killed Song Lunqiu and absorbed his immortal soul through the Imperial Decree Platform.
• Xue Zihan attacked Yu Feng and declared that Xu Yi was the one she loved, leaving Yu Feng devastated.
• Yu Feng's attack was shattered by a wave of profound energy, which encouraged the watching cultivators.
• Yu Feng put Xue Zihan to sleep and sent her into a crack in the meteorite wall; Xu Yi revealed his presence only through the little wolfdog's attack.
• The remaining cultivators formed a formation and chose Wu Huan Xiao, Bei Jianming, and Dai Jinqiu as their leaders.

Yu Feng summoned the Myriad Bone Skeleton and demanded that the cultivators submit, revealing that the Heavenly Court had abandoned the region after sealing his soul inside the Imperial Decree Platform. Xu Yi exposed Yu Feng’s slaughter of cultivators and warned that he intended to use them to escape, leaving Yu Feng suspicious of Xu Yi’s identity.

• Yu Feng gathered the Heavenly Demon Bones into a Myriad Bone Skeleton and demanded that everyone submit or die.
• Dai Jinqiu questioned Yu Feng about his connection to the Heavenly Court, and Yu Feng revealed that it had lost contact with the region for eight hundred years after sealing his soul in the Imperial Decree Platform.
• The cultivators debated whether to submit or fight, and most favored pretending to comply and waiting for an opportunity.
• Xu Yi showed the cultivators images of drained corpses and argued that Yu Feng planned to use them to escape and regain his strength.
• Yu Feng questioned how Xu Yi had resisted his attacks, unable to reconcile the man’s abilities with Xu Yi’s cultivation and supposed confinement.

Xu Yi and the other cultivators attacked Yu Fengzi as he tried to possess the Myriad Bone Skeleton, but the skeleton’s demonic nature overwhelmed his immortal soul. The skeleton turned berserk, and Xu Yi fled with the help of the little wolfdog.

• Yu Fengzi activated the Heavenly Demon Myriad Bone Skeleton and trapped himself inside a golden box as Xu Yi led the others in an attack.
• Wu Huan Xiao assembled the Four Fiends Formation, whose strike shattered Yu Fengzi’s golden box and badly injured the cultivators.
• Yu Fengzi used his energy to strengthen the Myriad Bone Skeleton, but the bones resisted his control and began trapping his immortal soul.
• Huang Mei deduced that the skeleton’s mixed demonic nature had not been purified, and warned Xu Yi that it would attack everyone once Yu Fengzi lost control.
• The Myriad Bone Skeleton absorbed Yu Fengzi’s immortal soul, darkened with black energy, and prompted Xu Yi to retreat inside the enlarged little wolfdog.

Xu Yi returned to the Purple Refined Soul Suppressing Stele to confront Yu Fengzi before the remnant soul could regain control of Myriad Bone Skeleton. He lured Yu Fengzi into attacking and destroyed his immortal soul with a hidden burst of clear radiance.

Xu Yi destroyed Yu Fengzi’s remnant soul, rescued the Myriad Bone Skeleton, and reunited with Xue Zihan before she left with most of his spoils. Huang Mei recovered and urged him to find the Supreme Godhead before the Imperial Decree Platform closed.

• Yu Fengzi’s remnant soul was shattered by the gourd, and Huang Mei and the little wolfdog each caught a speck of its starlight.
• Xu Yi found the Myriad Bone Skeleton lifeless, stored it in his Starry Sky Ring, gathered the scattered resources, and met Xue Zihan.
• Xu Yi and Xue Zihan spent nine more days together before parting, and he gave her three Sumeru Rings filled with nearly all his spoils from the Imperial Decree Platform.
• After Xue Zihan left, Huang Mei recovered and told Xu Yi to hurry and find the Supreme Godhead before the Imperial Decree Platform closed.

Xu Yi learned that although he had qualified for the Supreme Godhead, he could not claim it without surviving the God-Granting Trial. He suspected the Auspicious Duck had orchestrated Xuan Xuan’s abduction and the demand for the godhead to set a larger plan in motion, then decided to leave the Imperial Decree Platform and return to his duties.

• Huang Mei explained that Xu Yi could not remove the Imperial Decree Platform’s treasures, though he had obtained the Supreme Godhead’s qualification.
• Huang Mei warned that Xu Yi was too weak to survive the God-Granting Trial required to truly receive the Supreme Godhead.
• Xu Yi realized the cloaked kidnapper had never claimed to represent the Dong Huang Family and concluded that Xuan Xuan might not be in that family’s hands.
• Xu Yi connected the kidnapping and the Supreme Godhead demand to the Auspicious Duck’s schemes, which he believed were aimed at escaping the Tian Huan Star Domain.
• Xu Yi set aside his suspicions about the duck and prepared to leave, intending to return to Tu Hun Star and resume his double-agent role.

Desolate Charm explained how Xu Yi could use the Buddha Dao Fruit to purify the Myriad Bone Skeleton and take advantage of his Dual Soul to control it. Xu Yi used the skeleton to obtain the Supreme Godhead, and its bones gained silver patterns that made it slightly easier to control.

• Desolate Charm told Xu Yi that his human-and-demon Dual Soul could withstand the Myriad Bone Skeleton’s demonic nature after the Buddha Dao Fruit purified it.
• Xu Yi used Desolate Charm’s spell to purify the Myriad Bone Skeleton, then found that his immortal souls could barely move it.
• Desolate Charm explained that Xu Yi only needed the skeleton to complete the steps for obtaining the Supreme Godhead, not to fight with it.
• Xu Yi spent his merit points to select the Supreme Godhead and moved the Myriad Bone Skeleton onto the exchange platform.
• A silver storm poured Heaven and Earth Will into the platform, imprinting silver patterns on the skeleton’s golden bones and producing a golden seed.
• Xu Yi took the Supreme Godhead and told Desolate Charm that the skeleton had become slightly easier to control.

Xu Yi returned to Tu Hun Star after escaping the Imperial Decree Platform and told Lie Yan Yang and Xi Jin City that he had never entered it. Lie Yan Yang suspected Xu Yi had survived the platform and proposed a wager with Xi Jin City to find out what he had gained.

• Xu Yi left the True Gang Void Domain and traveled to Xing Tian Sect's base, where Lie Yan Yang and Xi Jin City were surprised to see him alive.
• Xu Yi claimed the Dong Huang Family had hunted him and that he had escaped without entering the Imperial Decree Platform.
• Xi Jin City explained that the platform had swallowed nearly all the star domain's elites and offered to tell others Xu Yi had stayed at Xing Tian Sect.
• Xu Yi rejected the cover story, said he was going to Spring City, and left the two men behind.
• Lie Yan Yang argued that Xu Yi's quick denial suggested he had taken Xi Jin City's offer as a test, and Xi Jin City agreed that Xu Yi might have entered the platform.
• Lie Yan Yang and Xi Jin City debated whether Xu Yi's possible gains were worth more than their hope of obtaining the main star pattern, then agreed to wager over the truth.

Xu Yi learned that Lie Yan Yang and Xi Jin City had maneuvered against him, but he refused to abandon his position in the Tu Hun Alliance and forged the Immortal Slaying Sword into a Gold-level Divine Weapon. He was summoned to Giant Immortal City, where he faced an imposing reception led by Chief Refiner Elder Long.

• Old Desolate reported Lie Yan Yang and Xi Jin City's conversation, and Xu Yi decided to stay on Tu Hun Star rather than give up his place in the Tu Hun Alliance.
• Xu Yi went to Spring City and asked Yan Jingming for a refining room with Five-Flavor Fire.
• Xu Yi used the Four-Colored Seal's Purple Domain Space to break down the Immortal Slaying Sword and Dong Huang Yu's Gold-level Divine Weapon, then fused the weapon spirit into the sword.
• Xu Yi emerged from the refining room and learned that Elder Tong had summoned him to Giant Immortal City, while the Tu Hun Alliance had sent its elite Black Spirit Guards.
• Xu Yi met Elder Tong the next morning and learned that Elder Long, a distinguished Star Refining Master and Chief Refiner, had joined the reception.
