Xu Yi and the Nameless One reached the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall, where the Third Holy Son used a fragment of the Heavenly God Chart to gain an opportunity. The Third Holy Son revealed how others could seek the wall’s rewards and invited them to trade at the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

• Xu Yi and the Nameless One saw cultivators gathered before a vast cliff carved with a sky-gazing Daoist priest and recognized the glowing object as a fragment of the Heavenly God Chart.
• The Third Holy Son used divine sense and a green light from between his brows to place the chart fragment on the priest’s collar, triggering a beam of light that enveloped him.
• Xu Yi and the Nameless One changed their appearances and blended into the crowd while learning that the Third Holy Son had helped the cultivators escape a shifting world.
• After enduring a painful ordeal in the beam, the Third Holy Son emerged and told the crowd that anyone with a chart fragment could attach it to the wall and overcome its demonic obstacle for an opportunity.
• The Third Holy Son invited those who gained opportunities to visit the Heavenly Machine Pavilion to trade them or exchange them for Mystical Treasures.

• The white columns of light assailed the cultivators with inner demons, killing several before fading; fewer than half successfully obtained an opportunity.

Xu Yi withheld two fragments of the Heavenly God Chart while weighing the inheritance hidden in the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall against Third Holy Son’s offer. After realizing Nameless One had a hidden motive for urging him to enter the wall, Xu Yi negotiated a reward for revealing the fragments.

• Nameless One urged Xu Yi to affix both fragments to the wall, explaining that the inheritance could help him break through the Dragon Gates.

• Xu Yi demanded a Fire Element Spirit Stone, with Third Holy Son to choose its quality and pay immediately.

His divine sense carried both fragments past six hundred zhang without slowing, astonishing everyone as they neared the seven-hundred-zhang mark.

• The Third Holy Son, Kong, gave Xu Yi a top-grade Fire Spirit Stone in exchange for the fragments’ whereabouts, and Xu Yi revealed that he had both fragments.
• Xu Yi told Kong he would affix the fragments to the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall rather than sell them.
• Ignoring the crowd’s mockery and warnings, Xu Yi used his divine sense to push both fragments toward the wall at once.
• The fragments passed the hundred-zhang threshold without slowing and continued rising beyond six hundred zhang, leaving the onlookers and Kong astonished.

Xu Yi affixed two fragments of the Heavenly God Chart to the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall despite the crushing force at seven hundred zhang, then endured a brutal trial of inner demons. After surviving a burning sea and a blizzard, he remained trapped in the illusion as the Nameless One and Qin Qing watched anxiously.

• The flames vanished, but a blizzard nearly erased Xu Yi's consciousness before his body took shape again.
• After surviving two near-death trials, Xu Yi began searching for a way to escape the illusion.

Xu Yi escaped the heart-demon illusion after the grief he felt for Xia Zimo overwhelmed his other thoughts, while his resilient soul endured the illusion’s attacks. The gathered cultivators recognized his mastery of deepest sorrow, and Wang Yao identified him as Wang Qianqiu and resolved to follow him for the hidden jade corpse.

• Xu Yi swallowed the Heart-Devouring Worms in the illusion, repeatedly rotted and recovered through the Golden Lightning Mark, and broke free when grief shattered the illusion.

• As Xu Yi waited at the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall, his consciousness entered a vision and a white beam struck him, bringing him into a blank world.

• Liao Chen entered Xu Yi's body, examined his memories, and remarked on Xu Yi's relationships with a Demon Race member, a bird, a rabbit, and a duck.
• Liao Chen said he could not see Xu Yi's past, then conjured a table, wine, and fruit and invited him to talk.
• Xu Yi drank with Liao Chen and asked whether the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall was his place of cultivation or something else.

Xu Yi learned from Liao Chen that the figure before him was an ancient shadow, born before the human race and responsible for opening the Heavenly God Hall to entertain himself. After uncovering why Liao Chen favored him, Xu Yi asked how to break the shackles around his river of memories and let Liao Chen enter.

• Liao Chen revealed that his true body had died long ago and that he remained as a shadow guarding the place after losing a bet with the figure on the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall.
• Xu Yi drew the wall's image, and Liao Chen laughed at the Heaven-Gazing Daoist's flattering self-portrait.

• Liao Chen explained that he opened the Heavenly God Hall and scattered maps to lure visitors whose memories amused him.
• Xu Yi concluded that Liao Chen favored him because of his sealed river of memories and asked how to break its shackles so Liao Chen could enter.

• Xu Yi agreed to let Liao Chen enter the river of memories and asked him to guide him in completing the Profound Thunder Body Tempering Art.
• Liao Chen recognized the art as one the Undying Elder had brought him centuries earlier and said he had once given the Elder a few pointers.

• Xu Yi thanked Liao Chen, then opened the barrier to his distant memories and let Liao Chen enter.
• Liao Chen appeared in Xu Yi’s former-life internet café and marveled at its devices, images, and people.

Xu Yi brought Liao Chen into his river of memories, where Liao Chen experienced Xu Yi’s former world and begged to remain there. Liao Chen tried to recover a powerful body-forging technique for Xu Yi, but Heaven’s will struck him, leaving him weakened and suggesting the technique’s original owner had reached the Emperor Lord realm.

• Xu Yi realized that Liao Chen’s consciousness had entered the flow of time and watched him play Honor of Kings in an internet café in 2017.
• Liao Chen told Xu Yi that he wanted to stay forever in the river of memories, where he could escape the torment of his endless existence.

• Liao Chen told Xu Yi that the three-eyed cultivator had likely reached the Emperor Lord realm and that humanity’s cultivation world extended beyond the realm of the collapsed Sacred Mountain.

Liao Chen gave Xu Yi a powerful new cultivation art and a treasure-retrieval method before leaving his memories. After Xu Yi emerged from the Heavenly Demon Jade Wall, nearly a hundred experts surrounded him and demanded he reveal what he had gained, while Nameless One urged him to stall.

• Liao Chen replaced the Profound Thunder Body Tempering Art in Xu Yi’s mind with a vast cultivation art, concealing most of its text until Xu Yi grew stronger.
• Liao Chen gave Xu Yi another passage containing his own method for retrieving a treasure, then vanished into Xu Yi’s memories.

• Nameless One told Xu Yi to play along and stall while he searched for a way to break the deadlock.

The Heavenly Demon Jade Wall shrank into a token that attached itself to Xu Yi, drawing the point origin experts’ attacks and intensifying the struggle over the treasure. As Xu Yi tried to stall for time, Nameless One suddenly attacked him.

• Fairy Qin secretly warned Xu Yi to use her attack as a chance to take her hostage and escape, while cautioning him not to use a Wind Talisman.

• The Third Holy Son raised a barrier to protect Xu Yi and the token, then Xu Yi demanded that anyone seeking the token offer him a treasure in exchange.
• Nameless One claimed he would help Xu Yi escape, then abruptly clawed at Xu Yi’s head.

Nameless One revealed his long-planned attempt to seize Xu Yi’s body and the Heavenly Demon Jade Token, but Xu Yi had suspected him and detonated a Magnetic Origin Bead to escape. The blast shattered Nameless One’s jade body, devastated the gathered experts, and left Xu Yi missing.

• Nameless One secretly entered Xu Yi’s body, hoping to take it over, and later manipulated him while waiting for a chance to strike.
• Nameless One explained that the Heavenly Demon Jade Token finally drove him to attack Xu Yi before Wang Yao or the other experts could claim it.
• Xu Yi recognized Nameless One’s speech as a warning and prepared his final trump card as Nameless One unleashed his forbidden art.
