After three years of recovery, he arrived at the realm’s entrance as a Rogue Cultivator, where the Eight Great Ancient Families prepared to open it.

• At the appointed time, representatives of the Eight Great Ancient Families stepped forward, including Long Xiaotian, Feng Qingyu, Black Tortoise True Person, Bai Shuanghan, and Azure Dragon Son.

The Eight Great Ancient Families opened Haotian Realm, and Yang Lingtian entered with the other cultivators. After three days of cautious exploration, he found a bronze stele bearing a faint mark that might have been left by Sword Qi.

• Yang Lingtian explored cautiously for three days, finding no other cultivators and struggling to locate the hidden Demigod Power.
• Yang Lingtian discovered a bronze stele with a faint, sharp-looking mark and wondered whether it was a trace of Sword Qi.

• Ziyangzi declared that the fruit belonged to the Purple Gold Sect, but a Fifth Layer Mahayana Realm cultivator challenged him.
• Ziyangzi shattered the cultivator’s defense with a purple-gold palm strike and sent him flying while spitting blood.

• Yang Lingtian rewarded the burly man, heard more locations from the others, and prepared to leave, but Ziyangzi called after him.

• Ziyangzi challenged Yang Lingtian to a fair battle for the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Fruit, but Yang Lingtian shattered his attacks and severely wounded him with a sword strike.

After passing Haotian's Artifact Spirit's seven-day trial, Yang Lingtian learned that the Demigod Power was hidden in the Void Fault and reached it through Pillar Peak. The power escaped his grasp and drew Mahayana experts, including an old man in white who claimed it for himself.

• Yang Lingtian endured the trial until dawn on the seventh day, and Haotian's Artifact Spirit rewarded him with a Jade Slip containing clues to the Demigod Power.

• Yang Lingtian pursued the fleeing power as other experts tried to seize it, and an old man in white appeared with a sword and declared that the Demigod Power was his.

• A transparent curtain rose into a Four-sided Lock Array and trapped the Demigod Power, making the experts wonder who had set the array.

Yang Lingtian pursued the escaped Demigod Power with the help of the Chaos Bead and finally captured it. Unable to store it because the Haotian Realm’s great array interfered, he decided to seek a safe place to refine it.

Yang Lingtian was trapped by more than a hundred Mahayana Realm experts after the Demigod Power revealed his location. He shattered their formation with God's Slash and moved to attack a Third-level Mahayana Realm expert blocking his escape.

• The Demigod Power burst with light, drawing the Golden Dragon, the Phoenix, Xuan Yangzi, and other experts toward Yang Lingtian.

• Yang Lingtian killed a Third-level Mahayana Realm powerhouse and broke through the encirclement, prompting the Golden Dragon, Phoenix, Xuan Yangzi, and dozens of others to pursue him.
