Fifteen days later, Zhang Xuanchen left Dark Night Forest with Luo Lingshuang and the others and set off for Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

• The two Evil Cultivators rejected Wuxin's plea and prepared to attack him.

Wuxin the Monk fled two Evil Cultivators toward Zhang Xuanchen’s Flying Boat, and Zhang chose to confront them. Zhang, Luo Lingshuang, and the Great Sage overwhelmed the pursuers, killing Lao Si and leaving Lao Cao badly wounded.

• Wuxin summoned a wrathful Buddha and used the Great Fearless Seal to repel the Evil Cultivators’ attacks, but he was left gravely injured and nearly out of spiritual power.
• Wuxin spotted Zhang Xuanchen’s Flying Boat and headed toward it, while Lao Cao and Lao Si decided to pursue him and attack the people aboard.
• After hearing the Evil Cultivators threaten the boat’s passengers, Zhang turned the Flying Boat toward them and ordered Luo Lingshuang and the Great Sage to strike with full force.

• Wuxin offered Zhang an ancient Buddha Sarira, swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, and pledged allegiance to him.
• Wuxin told Zhang that he had joined out of fear and ambition, since half-step Nascent Soul would otherwise be his limit at Tianluo Temple.

Wuxin joined Zhang Xuanchen’s group after revealing Tianluo Temple’s motives and possible alliance against the Zhang Family. Zhang Xuanchen accepted him, chose the Daoist title Blazing Firmament True Person, and gave him Thousand-year Stone Milk to treat his injuries.

• Wuxin explained that he wanted to follow Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang, and Zhang Xuanchen accepted him after confirming his sincerity.

The group traveled to the Casting Star Islands, where Wuxin killed a Qiao Family young master and his guards after they harassed Luo Lingshuang, while a richly dressed young man began investigating them.

• Wuxin recovered fully after three days and took Zhang Xuanchen’s place helping Luo Lingshuang train Great Sage.
• Over the next ten days, Wuxin grew close to Zhang Xuanchen’s group, and Zhang learned why Tianluo Temple had expelled him.

Zhang Xuanchen’s group arrived in Tiangong Immortal City, where he learned that Li Xiu would trade the damaged Qian Yuan Ding the next day. While Wuxin and the Great Sage found their way around, a pharmacy owner grew suspicious that they might be connected to the sealed Starry Secret Realm.

• Zhang Xuanchen learned that Li Xiu would offer the damaged Qian Yuan Ding at a trade fair in Tianxing Inn, and considered its value for alchemy and defense.
• Zhang Xuanchen told Wuxin and the Great Sage to find Tianxing Inn while he and Luo Lingshuang bought pastries.
• Wuxin accidentally startled the Tianyang Pharmacy shopkeeper, apologized, and gave him Spirit Stones before asking for directions.

• Wuxin returned the maps to Zhang Xuanchen, who memorized them and shared Purple Sun Cakes and Flame Corn Sticks with Wuxin and the Great Sage.

• The next morning, Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang went to Tianxing Inn, where Zhang saw Wuxin and the Great Sage talking with Wei Youqian and noticed a cold, powerful young man in a black robe beside him.

Wei Tian recognized Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang’s connections, then discreetly explained why he believed they had come to Heavenly Craft Pavilion. When the Great Sage revealed they knew nothing about the Starry Secret Realm, Wei Tian agreed to tell them about the faint Spiritual Power Tide that had drawn the region’s five great powers.

• Wei Youqian introduced Wei Tian to Zhang Xuanchen, who asked him to keep Luo Lingshuang’s identity quiet.

• The Great Sage said they had come to Heavenly Craft Pavilion to refine magical artifacts and had never heard of the secret realm.
• Wei Tian decided to explain the secret realm, telling them that a faint Spiritual Power Tide had arisen half a year earlier and drawn the ancestors of five great powers to the area.

• Wei Tian told Zhang Xuanchen that the Starry Secret Realm would open in three months, allowed only entrants under a hundred, and favored the Vermilion Bird Sea Domain’s younger Golden Core cultivators.

• Zhang Xuanchen told Luo Lingshuang, Wuxin, and Great Sage they would enter the Starry Secret Realm and keep its best spiritual materials while giving the Wei Family lesser ones.
• Zhang Xuanchen led Luo Lingshuang into the trade fair as Wuxin and Great Sage wandered through the stalls.
• Luo Lingshuang asked whether the Immortal Opportunity Zhang Xuanchen sensed would appear at the fair, and he said he had found its location without waking Xuanjing.

• Yang Shen wagered that if someone bought the tripod for five hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones, Ming Yu'er would become his bride.
• Zhang Xuanchen stopped to tell Luo Lingshuang that he would bring Yang Shen and Ming Yu'er together.

• Yang Shen gave Ming Yu'er a Second-tier Top-grade Fire Spirit Shield and said he would visit Heavenly Craft Pavilion to propose within a month.

• Zhou Qingcang told Xue Li to invite Zhang Xuanchen and his companions into the Main Hall and considered offering Zhang Xuanchen a place in the Starry Secret Realm.

• Great Sage guarded the iron and gave the Second Supreme Elder a Golden Cudgel design, and the elder declared the pavilion had an eighty percent chance of forging it and offered to do so without charge.

Zhang Xuanchen negotiated with Heavenly Craft Pavilion over refining the Sea Calming Divine Iron into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and the Grand Supreme Elder agreed to oversee the risky work. She revealed that she planned to attempt a Nascent Soul breakthrough afterward, likely risking her life, and entrusted the sect’s future to its younger disciples.

• Zhang Xuanchen refused to hand over the Sea Calming Divine Iron unless Heavenly Craft Pavilion could guarantee a ninety-eight-percent chance of success.
• The Grand Supreme Elder offered to devote the pavilion’s full strength to refining the Ruyi Jingu Bang and promised compensation if the attempt failed.
• Zhang Xuanchen agreed to entrust the refinement to Heavenly Craft Pavilion on the condition that the Grand Supreme Elder, Second Supreme Elder, and Third Supreme Elder use the Joint Refinement Technique together.
• The Second Supreme Elder, Yu'an, objected because the Grand Supreme Elder had little lifespan remaining, but she interrupted him and accepted the risk.
• The Grand Supreme Elder told Xue Li to preserve the sect’s traditions and prioritize cultivating younger disciples before she attempted a Nascent Soul breakthrough.
• Yu'an accepted that he could not dissuade Li Jinmian and resolved to stay by her side during the artifact refinement.

Zhang Xuanchen arranged for the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to refine several artifacts and learned that he could not enter the Starry Secret Realm. At Horizon Restaurant, Xuanjing examined his treasures and identified a drop of seventh-tier Spirit Heart Sacred Deer Blood Essence, prompting her to suggest he find the vase’s seller.

• Zhang Xuanchen commissioned the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to refine swords, wings, and other artifacts, then chose to buy a Third-tier Flying Boat instead of waiting years for one to be made.

Xuanchen and Lingshuang witnessed the Sarira reveal the Three Lives Borrowing Strength Great Technique and an Ancient Buddha destroying invading Outer Realm Evil Demons. Xuanchen received the technique and fainted, while Luo Yichen arrived at the Nine Splendor Sword Sect furious after learning Shuang Mei had married Xuanchen.

He told Luo Yichen that Luo Lingshuang had married Zhang Xuanchen and warned the Luo family that harming Zhang Xuanchen would turn her against them.

• Hua Shisan appeared before the Luo party and used the Azure Nether Sea-Calming Sword’s Sword Intent to break Luo Yuanhui’s pressure on the Nine Splendor Sword Sect.
