Xu Yi manipulated Tao Jingshan into winning the lease to Sanyang Mountain while making Ming Liding believe Tao would lead him to the legacy. After securing the jade token controlling the mountain wards, Xu Yi raced toward the mountain to claim the treasure.

• Xu Yi insisted that Tao Jingshan bid for Sanyang Mountain while keeping the ward-control token for himself, and Tao reluctantly agreed.

Ming Sihuo revealed that the Ming family also possessed a token, and Han Zhongjun began explaining how the tokens could help reach the Northern Continent World.

• Xu Yi recalled Zhu Shisan’s insistence that he obtain the Old Prefect’s treasure and give the Sun Radiance Token to the Church Patriarch.
• Han Zhongjun explained that cultivators used Sun Radiance Tokens to bypass spatial passage restrictions and hunt in the Northern Continent, whose development the Western and Eastern Continents limited to preserve their supply of high-grade wish beads.
• Han Zhongjun revealed that his Sun Moon Shuttle needed two Sun Radiance Tokens for a round trip, and asked Xu Yi and Ming Sihuo to either sell their tokens or join his expedition.
• Ming Sihuo agreed to explore the Savage Wilderness and asked how many people the shuttle could carry.
• Xu Yi argued that the three sides should divide the expedition places equally because Xu Yi and Ming Sihuo supplied the tokens while Han Zhongjun supplied the shuttle.
• Han Zhongjun accepted the equal division and set the limit at six people per side.

• Ming Sihuo and Han Zhongjun rejected Xu Yi’s demand to use Ming Sihuo’s Sun Radiance Token on the way there and Xu Yi’s on the way back, and Han Zhongjun asked them to hand over both tokens for safekeeping.
• Ming Sihuo refused to surrender his token, so Xu Yi proposed that Ming Sihuo use his token first and Han Zhongjun hand over the Sun Moon Shuttle once they arrived.
• Xu Yi offered to seal his own Sun Radiance Token in a Myriad Mechanism Jade Lock Box and give the box to Ming Sihuo until Ming Sihuo received the Sun Moon Shuttle.

• Xu Yi bluffed that he knew another person with a Sun Radiance Token and challenged Ming Sihuo to decide whether to continue cooperating.
• Ming Sihuo accepted Xu Yi’s proposal and praised him as a rare talent.

At Cangyou Peak, he hurried off before learning that Qin Shousheng was preparing to confront Chao over a dispute between their peaks.

• Xu Yi told Han Zhongjun that he would not scheme against or harm those who did not do so to him, then helped Tao Jingshan secure Han's agreement to assist him.

Xu Yi confronted Elder Xi about his attempt to end their alliance and revealed that the Night Walkers had recorded Elder Xi as one of them, offering him a chance to become a poacher. Elder Xi accepted the tempting offer and returned to his seat beside Xu Yi.

• At Cangyou Peak, Pan Meiren and Dong Xinchang realized Qin Shousheng was trying to seize power, and Dong rushed to gather men to seize the water.

• Xu Yi showed Elder Xi the Sun Radiance Token and offered him the chance to become a poacher through the Pontiff.
• Elder Xi weighed the risks, accepted the offer, and claimed he had only been teasing Xu Yi about ending their alliance.

Xu Yi recruited Xi Mengfan into the Night Walkers to secure him a place on the Northern Continent poaching expedition, then asked him to help trade two remaining slots for wish pearls. Xi Mengfan swallowed his anger, accepted that Xu Yi had brought him under control, and began planning for the expedition alongside the Ming family and Biyou Academy.

• Xu Yi offered Xi Mengfan a Night Walker slot, and Xi Mengfan joined Station Number Seven by using a message token.
• Xu Yi revealed that he was Station Number Seven’s station chief and asked Xi Mengfan to help find elders willing to buy two expedition slots with wish pearls.

• Xi Mengfan returned and asked about the price and the other expedition members, recognizing that joining the Night Walkers had been Xu Yi’s way of keeping him in check.
• Xu Yi named the Ming family and Biyou Academy as the other factions, and Xi Mengfan began discussing how to select strong people and plan for the trip.

Xu Yi sold two poaching quotas through Xi Mengfan for two hundred White Grade Wish Beads, but Xi refused his cut and offered further help. Xu Yi then attended a Staff Department meeting where Vice Dean Yang nominated Shen Yiguan to fill the vacant dean’s post.

• Vice Dean Yang summoned Xu Yi to a packed Staff Department meeting and announced that Elder Deng was resigning as dean to enter seclusion.
• Vice Dean Yang named Chief Strategist Shen Yiguan as the board’s nominee for dean, prompting whispers among those present.

Xu Yi confronted Shen Yiguan after Cuidie Peak was reported destroyed, and Shen tried to assert his authority over him. Xu Yi seized and humiliated Shen before leaving, while a Personnel Selection Office envoy arrived with a jade token and raised the prospect that a candidate had been chosen.

• A brocade-robed man reported that Cangyou Peak's people had destroyed Cuidie Peak and Shen Yiguan's cave abode, prompting the assembly to turn its attention to Xu Yi.
• Shen Yiguan rebuffed Xu Yi's attempt to speak and challenged him over the destruction, while Vice Dean Yang secretly warned Xu Yi about Shen's influence.

• The assembly denounced Xu Yi after he left, and a Personnel Selection Office envoy arrived carrying a jade token.
• Shen Yiguan asked whether the people above had already chosen a candidate and felt reassured that Elder Ma cared about him.

Shen Yiguan tried to use Xi Mengfan’s supposed opposition to Xu Yi to undermine him, but the Elder Council appointed Xu Yi Dean of the Staff Department instead. Shen Yiguan was expelled by his master, while Xu Yi’s subordinates celebrated his promotion and rushed to improve their standing with him.

• Shen Yiguan exaggerated Xu Yi’s alleged crimes to Xi Mengfan, expecting Xi to punish him, but Xi only pitied Shen Yiguan and left.

• Xi Mengfan told Xu Yi that three elders had secured his promotion to Dean of the Staff Department, and Xu Yi thanked him.
• Xu Yi completed the formalities of taking office, reassured Vice Dean Yang and the board that they would continue managing the department, then left for Auspicious Chimes Immortal City.
• At Guanghui Hall, Xu Yi verified his new position with his official seal and met Tu Wuming, who personally offered to show him the shop's treasures.
• Xu Yi said he wanted offensive equipment, and Tu Wuming named a Jade Tablet and a wondrous talisman as the available options.

Xu Yi bought Swift Body Talismans and Jade Tablets from Tu Wuming at Guanghui Hall, then considered how to obtain offensive Mystical Talismans without overspending. He left the shop still deciding who should receive the two remaining spots and how to make the poaching expedition safer.

• Tu Wuming offered Xu Yi a Jade Tablet for a discounted thousand Wish Beads and showed him the remaining Mystical Talismans.

• After leaving Guanghui Hall, Xu Yi ate buns by White Stone Bridge while weighing who should receive the last two spots.
• Xu Yi decided he could not afford the Fire Snake Talisman but needed to find a way to acquire offensive Mystical Talismans for the poaching expedition.

Xu Yi negotiated with Senior Brother and two Black Lotus Cult elders over two poaching spots, using his Sun Radiance Token to establish that the offer was real. The elders recognized that Xu Yi had leverage and began considering what to offer him.

• Xu Yi asked Senior Brother Qin for his opinion, and Qin endorsed choosing Kong Shao and You Xian, saying they would protect Xu Yi.

Xu Yi finalized the expedition arrangements and arrived at the meeting place with his allies, where Ming Erde challenged the safety of the Three-Party Balance plan. Xu Yi stood his ground, and the group began securing the tokens and shuttle before departure.

• Senior Brother returned with the talismans promised by the presiding elder, and Xu Yi arranged the expedition with Kong Shao and You Xian.

• Xu Yi and Ming Sihuo waited at Greeting Guest Cliff until Han Zhongjun arrived with five Divine Embryo Realm cultivators.

• Kong Shao and Xi Mengfan rebuked Ming Erde for undermining the expedition, and Ming Sihuo sealed the Sun Radiance Token in a Myriad Mechanism Jade Lock Box.
• Xu Yi accepted the box but withheld the Sun Radiance Token from Han Zhongjun until they boarded, prompting Han Zhongjun to curse his cunning.

Xu Yi and the Ming family’s group were thrown from the Sun Moon Shuttle into the Savage Wilderness Realm after Han Zhongjun apparently abandoned them. With the shuttle gone and the Sun Radiance Token still in Xu Yi’s hands, the two groups argued over responsibility before agreeing to search for Han together.

• Han Zhongjun activated the Sun Moon Shuttle with Xu Yi’s Sun Radiance Token, and the shuttle carried the eighteen passengers through a field of white light.
• The shuttle flung Xu Yi and the twelve members of his and Ming Sihuo’s groups into the Savage Wilderness Realm, while the people from Biyou Academy remained aboard.
• Ming Sihuo used the Heaven’s Heart Disk to identify their location, and an old man from his group said he had seen the shuttle eject them deliberately.
• Ming Erde demanded that Xu Yi return the Sun Radiance Token, but Ming Sihuo stopped him from attacking.
• Xu Yi refused to surrender the token and proposed that both groups search for Han Zhongjun together.

Xu Yi’s group was attacked by demon beasts after Dragon King Whale Heart Blood was used to lure them, and Elder Wu explained the dangers of the Savage Wilderness Realm. As they fled, a massive beast wounded one of the Ming family’s Divine Embryo experts, who began healing with a golden egg’s power.

• Ming Sihuo asked Xu Yi to coordinate their actions as their group maintained a loose alliance.
• Elder Ma recognized Dragon King Whale Heart Blood as bait, and Xu Yi led everyone down toward the sea as demon beasts surged toward them.
• Ming Erde and the other experts shattered walls of water closing in from four directions, but their search through the wreckage found no beast cores.
• Elder Wu explained the difference between demon beasts and demons and warned the group about the strength of higher-level beasts.
• Xu Yi spotted an ambush and warned the group, but a massive beast struck a Ming family Divine Embryo expert and tore away half his body.
• Ming Sihuo gave the wounded expert pills, and a golden egg emerged from his chest and began healing the injury.

Xu Yi warned the group that the flying beast and the blood mist above the clouds signaled a larger danger, but Ming Erde dismissed him. Xu Yi led the others east in a Five Elements Plum Blossom Array as huge creatures began raining down from the sky.

• The beast attacked again, and the experts dodged and struck back before descending below the clouds.
• Xi Mengfan questioned Xu Yi’s silence and offered to back him, but Xu Yi insisted the group needed unity rather than a contest for leadership.
• Ming Erde urged everyone to find somewhere to land, but Xu Yi warned them not to move because he sensed blood and danger above the clouds.
• Xi Mengfan, Elder Wu, Elder Ma, Kong Shao, and You Xian formed a Five Elements Plum Blossom Array around Xu Yi and followed his call to head east.
• Ming Erde and his followers pursued them as enormous creatures began crashing down from the sky.

Xu Yi’s group stayed safe behind their formation while the Ming family battled the Purple-Bearded Golden-Scaled Flying Fish Lions. After Ming Erde used a Mystical Talisman to destroy nine beasts, the Ming brothers discovered that Xu Yi’s team had killed three more and demanded their Demon Cores.

• Twelve Purple-Bearded Golden-Scaled Flying Fish Lions attacked both groups, but Xu Yi’s formation held while the beasts overwhelmed the Ming family.
• The Flying Fish Lions focused on Ming Erde and a red-faced old man, and one tore off Ming Erde’s left hand.
• Xu Yi told Ming Erde to use his own Mystical Talisman, and Ming Erde unleashed its domain to obliterate nine Flying Fish Lions.
• While the Ming family escaped the domain, Xu Yi and his companions restrained and killed the other three Flying Fish Lions, taking their Demon Cores.
• Ming Erde charged at Xu Yi and demanded the spoils, while Xi Mengfan blocked him and Ming Sihuo challenged Xu Yi over the Demon Cores.

After Xu Yi reunited the teams and took charge of their escape, a hidden attacker triggered a Weeping Blood Storm that scattered everyone. Xu Yi was then surrounded by a group seeking him specifically, and he realized Han Zhongjun was connected to the pursuit.

• Ming Wuxing apologized to Xu Yi and the others, then agreed to let Xu Yi coordinate both teams.
• Xu Yi ordered the teams east, but a hidden voice targeted him and dropped blood-red jade tablets that unleashed a Weeping Blood Storm.
• Elders Ma and Wu, Ming Erde, Ming Sihuo, and the others fled; Xu Yi used a Teleportation Talisman and discovered he could not contact Elder Xi.
• Xu Yi manifested the Soaring Ape Form and fled, but more than a dozen Divine Embryo-level cultivators caught up and surrounded him.
• Xu Yi guessed that Han Zhongjun was behind the pursuit and asked to speak with him.

Xu Yi escaped a deadly siege after Han Zhongjun and Young Master Xian turned his capture into a wager, but he realized his pursuers had marked him and feared another attack. Han Zhongjun spotted a tracking signal moving after Xu Yi, leaving his escape in jeopardy.

• Han Zhongjun showed Young Master Xian a scene of his earlier meeting with Xu Yi, then offered Xu Yi safety and a chance to audit classes at Biyou Academy in exchange for the Sun Radiance Token.
• Xu Yi demanded that the pursuers withdraw except for two Transcendent Realm cultivators before he handed over the token, warning that he could destroy it.
• Young Master Xian made Han Zhongjun wager three spots to return to the Western Continent World on whether the purple-robed young man’s group could capture Xu Yi within one incense stick.
• Xu Yi used thirty Jade Tablets to blast through the siege, killing the Transcendent Fourth Realm pursuers and wounding the three Divine Embryo powerhouses before escaping.
• Xu Yi suspected the pursuers had marked him, while Han Zhongjun spotted a red dot racing across a jade disk and realized they could track Xu Yi.

After escaping a pursuit into the sea, Xu Yi used his Water-Flowing Monkey Form to evade repeated attacks from the Space Shuttle. Cornered by demonic beasts drawn by Blood Tokens, he disappeared through the Four-Colored Seal, and his pursuers’ shuttle was struck by a huge black tail.

• Xu Yi fled a thousand li with a Teleportation Talisman, took the Water-Flowing Monkey Form, and dove into the sea to escape his pursuers.
• Young Master Xian ordered the Space Shuttle to pursue Xu Yi underwater after Han Zhongjun remarked that Xu Yi was moving too quickly to catch.
• Xu Yi repeatedly dodged the Space Shuttle’s attacks, prompting Young Master Xian to order Blood Tokens scattered to drive him from hiding.
• As demonic beasts closed in, Xu Yi reached the seabed and escaped through the Four-Colored Seal just before a giant beast swallowed it.
• When Xu Yi’s mark vanished from the Tracking Jade Plate, Young Master Xian ordered a search, but a streak of black light struck the Space Shuttle and a massive tail swept it into the air.

Xu Yi identified and removed the tracker on his body, then emerged from the Purple Domain Space inside a Second-grade Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark. He subdued the beast long enough to escape its stomach, but the powerful sea tyrant remained before him.

• Young Master Xian ordered his search party to find Xu Yi after the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark appeared.
• Xu Yi broke down and restored his belongings, isolated the faint energy tracker, and placed a piece of his flesh carrying it in a mechanical box.
• The tracker’s signal revealed Xu Yi’s location, prompting Young Master Xian and Han Zhongjun’s party to resume the pursuit.
• Xu Yi emerged into the stomach of a giant creature, recognized it as a Second-grade Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark, and threatened it until it stopped trying to expel him.
• Xu Yi sent beads into the shark’s gastric juices and escaped from its mouth, dodging its attack and warning it not to provoke him again.
