Long Ling and the other leaders completed the Eastern Region waterways, joining the Primordial Wilderness’s entire Water Vein network at Buzhou Mountain. Their work earned vast Heaven and Earth Merit, which transformed the Earth Flowing Water Diagram into a treasure that approached, but did not reach, the level of an Ultimate Treasure.

• Long Ling led the Eight Million Immortals and Gods through the Eastern Region, where local forces offered support and the army began developing the waterways.

• The twelve Super Water Vein Ancestral Sources converged, completing the Primordial Wilderness’s Water Vein network and earning Merit for the leaders and the participating army.
• The Earth Flowing Water Diagram absorbed Long Ling’s Merit and gained an aura beyond a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, though the gathered Quasi-Sages judged it to fall short of an Ultimate Treasure.

After the Water Vein project ended, Long Ling distributed rewards from Saint Huode to the immortals and gods according to their contributions, including the captives. She freed those below the Golden Immortal realm and summoned the higher-ranked contributors to Buzhou Mountain Core Divine Mansion to hear Hua Tian Peak’s next plan, which also surprised the Sages of Western Spirit Mountain and Jade Void Mountain.

• Long Ling realized the Earth Flowing Water Diagram had become a quasi-ultimate treasure but lacked the Spiritual Light needed to advance further.

• The Sages of Western Spirit Mountain and Jade Void Mountain learned that Hua Tian Peak had another plan and wondered what Luo Qing was plotting.

Long Ling revealed Hua Tian Peak’s next water-vein project: two underground water layers beneath the Primordial Great Land. The Quasi-Sages mistook the plan for an attempt to refine an Innate Supreme Treasure and agreed to help, leaving Hua Tian Peak’s true objective concealed.

• The Sages divined that Hua Tian Peak’s water-vein work was auspicious and waited to learn what Luo Qing intended to do next.
• Long Ling displayed the completed surface water-vein network to twenty-six Quasi-Sages gathered at Buzhou Mountain God Mansion.

• Long Ling invited the Quasi-Sages to join the next stage, and they agreed, expecting merit and Divine Treasures in return.

The Sages agreed to continue developing the underground water-vein spaces while Luo Qing investigated why the Earth Flowing Water Diagram had stalled just short of becoming a Merit Ultimate Treasure. He explained that it lacked spiritual nature, then hinted there was another way to complete its transformation.

• Randeng, the Golden Winged Great Peng, and the other Quasi-Sages delayed their decisions until their Sages could advise them, while Hao Yuan Quasi-Saint and the others agreed to proceed.
• Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Three Pure Ones chose to continue the plan despite suspecting Luo Qing had a greater purpose than refining a treasure, and their orders reassured the Quasi-Sages and Long Ling.
• Long Ling returned to Hua Tian Peak and asked Luo Qing why the Earth Flowing Water Diagram had not transformed despite accumulating enough Heaven and Earth Merit.
• Luo Qing explained that the Earth Flowing Water Diagram lacked sufficient spiritual nature, which Merit could not provide, and said it might take ten million years to develop naturally.
• When Long Ling lamented the wait, Luo Qing told her there was another method.

Long Ling began the second-stage underground water vein project beneath Buzhou Mountain while Hua Tian Peak faced widespread suspicion over its expansion. After the excavation spread through part of the Central Domain, Luo Qing went to the Netherworld Yin Realm to draw water for the underground network and inspected the Sacred Tiger Egg growing on the Chaos Ghost Willow.

• Luo Qing promised Long Ling that he could transform the Earth Flowing Water Diagram into an Ultimate Treasure once the underground water veins were developed, and she returned to Buzhou Mountain.
• Long Ling organized several hundred thousand mid- and high-level Immortal Gods into teams, and they began excavating underground lakes and rivers beneath Buzhou Mountain.
• News spread that Hua Tian Peak had completed the surface water network and started expanding underground, prompting many Immortal Gods to suspect it had hidden motives.
• After about a hundred years, excavation had transformed one-quarter of the area beneath the Central Domain into Shallow Water Layer space, and Luo Qing decided to supply it with water from the Netherworld Yin Realm.
• Luo Qing's avatar met Houtu beneath the Chaos Ghost Willow, then examined the thousand-zhang Sacred Tiger Egg nestled among its branches.

Luo Qing welcomed his third child, Luo Yin, into the world briefly before deciding to send him back into his Sacred Tiger Egg to continue accumulating power. He left Luo Yin in the Chaos Ghost Willow’s care, hoping the child’s future growth might eventually help the willow transform.

• Luo Qing learned that the Tiger Eggs had continued growing stronger under the Chaos Ghost Willow’s nourishment, though they had not hatched.
• Luo Yin emerged from his Sacred Tiger Egg, greeted Luo Qing as his father, and received his name.
• Luo Qing recognized Luo Yin’s extraordinary potential and chose to let him remain unhatched so he could keep building his foundation.
• Luo Qing taught Luo Yin the Method of Severing Three Corpses and the Method of One Yuan Perfection, after which Luo Yin returned to the egg and fell asleep.
• Luo Qing told the Chaos Ghost Willow to care for Luo Yin and considered how the child might one day help the willow overcome the difficulty of transforming.

Luo Qing opened a passage from the Netherworld Yin Realm to the Primordial Wilderness, supplying water for the underground waterways Long Ling and the immortal gods were excavating. After a thousand years, they completed the first underground water-vein layer, and Long Ling prepared to begin the second layer as Hua Tian Peak’s final plan approached.

• The Earth Flowing Water Diagram gained more Merit Golden Light but did not become an Ultimate Treasure, while Long Ling summoned the immortal gods to begin work on the second underground layer.

The Nine-Eyed God-Demon's Dao Fruit had begun struggling against Luo Qing's seal, sending the Demon God's Sound across the Hua Tian Universe and frightening its inhabitants. Luo Qing used the Chikong Mirror Spirit Array and two Innate Supreme Treasures to suppress it as he prepared to sacrifice it for the Fire Spirit Origin Great Dao.

• The Demon God's Sound repeatedly shook Xianfeng City, driving many immortals and gods to flee.
• The sound spread across the Hua Tian Universe, prompting human tribes to migrate away from its core and people to pray for the Fire Virtue Ancestral God's protection.
• Luo Qing stayed in the Origin Ocean while the Demon God's Sound ravaged the Hua Tian Immortal Realm and forced Luo Lian and Zi Luo to retreat to Hua Tian Peak.
• Luo Qing saw the Nine-Eyed God-Demon's blood-red Dao Fruit pounding against the Chikong Mirror Spirit Array and realized it was resisting his attempt to suppress it.
• Luo Qing retrieved the Creation Green Lotus and Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd from Long Ling and Huang Ting to help contain the Dao Fruit.

Luo Qing suppressed the Demon God Dao Fruit’s rampage, limiting its deadly sound to Golden Immortals and above while Long Ling and Huang Ting accelerated work on the underground water veins. As the Dao Fruit grew more violent near its end, Nuwa drew attention across the Primordial Wilderness by announcing Phoenix Perch World’s imminent ascension.

• Luo Qing used his Great Dao origin to further suppress the Nine-Eyed God-Demon’s Dao Fruit, weakening its sound and shielding mortals and low-level immortals.
• Long Ling and Huang Ting hurried their team’s excavation of the second deep water layer, completing about half of it in five hundred years.
• The Dao Fruit’s sound grew more dangerous as the water-vein barrier neared completion, forcing personnel to evacuate the Hua Tian Immortal Realm.
• Nuwa publicized Phoenix Perch World’s impending ascension to restore Phoenix Perch Mountain’s prestige and attract the Primordial Wilderness’s attention.

The Phoenix Perch Great Thousand World neared ascension into a Cosmic World as Nuwa poured her creation power into strengthening it. The Three Pure Ones watched, believing Phoenix Perch Mountain was poised to claim the third of the four special Affiliated Universes.

• Phoenix Perch Mountain drew the attention of the Primordial Wilderness as Immortal Gods and Saints watched the world’s impending ascension.
• Fuxi, Old Ancestor Kunpeng, and Daoist Lu Ya waited in Phoenix Perch Mountain’s Dao Field, knowing that success could let Fuxi become the Ninth Saint.
• Nuwa used her Great Dao of Life and Creation to accelerate the growth and strengthen the foundation of the Phoenix Perch World.
• The Three Pure Ones realized Nuwa had prioritized world ascension over developing the Primordial Water Veins.
• Laozi, Yuanshi, and Sect Master Tongtian regretted falling behind, since they believed the first four Affiliated Universes would hold special importance in the future.
