After the Lord Game, Yuan returned Li Ze and Luo Feng to the Origin Continent and arranged their next steps: Luo Feng would train in the Wu Realm, while Li Ze would gain access to the origins of eighteen Medium Source Worlds. Yuan then took Li Ze to Dong He Palace to study a Body Refining Art that could strengthen him enough to survive his Inner Universe’s future transformation.

• Li Ze and the other victors returned secret treasures and treasures to the revived God Emperors of the Cultivator Faction.
• Yuan praised the Human Race and sent Luo Feng to cultivate under Wu in the Wu Realm, giving him Wu's Token for the journey.
• Yuan learned that Li Ze had burned one-fifth of his accumulated Inner Universe Origin during the Lord Game and granted him the right to Devour the origins of eighteen Medium Source Worlds.
• Yuan took Li Ze through a Spacetime Channel to Dong He Palace and explained that Dong He had been a peerless Cultivator Faction expert killed by a trap laid by the Innate Source Being Faction.
• Yuan urged Li Ze to learn Dong He's Body Refining Art, explaining that Li Ze's physical body would need to endure the Source Universe Tribulation when his Inner Universe transformed.

Yuan sent Li Ze to Dong He's body to seek a Body Refining Art that could help him reach the Origin Level. After passing the body's test, Li Ze earned the legacy of Spirit Devourer and learned more about the paths of cultivation, though the way forward for his Inner Universe path remained unknown.

• Yuan explained that Dong He had once transformed his body to the Origin Level while still a God Emperor, then sent Li Ze to study Dong He's body for a secret art.
• Li Ze met the Body Spirit, who explained Dong He's death in battle and told Li Ze he would have to earn the body's recognition using only his physical strength.
• Li Ze endured the body's pressure and touched it, whereupon white radiance tested his body and the Body Spirit recognized his Inner Universe cultivation path.
• Dong He's lingering voice judged Li Ze and agreed to pass him the Body Refining Art Spirit Devourer, calling both their cultivation paths the Path of Seeking Oneself.
• The Body Spirit explained the difference between the Path of Seeking Oneself and the Path of External Force, and said that reaching the Origin Level with a God Emperor's body was only the beginning of body cultivation.

Li Ze received Dong He's Spirit Devourer secret art and entered the damaged Spirit Transformation Pool, where Flesh Spirits could help transform his body with Source Power. After comprehending the art, he began absorbing the Flesh Spirits and rapidly strengthening his genes, leaving him confident that his body could reach the Source Realm.

• The Body Spirit phantom explained how Dong He used the Spirit Transformation Pool and Flesh Spirits to cultivate Spirit Devourer, and said the damaged pool held enough Flesh Spirits to help Li Ze reach the Source Realm.
• The Body Spirit phantom gave Li Ze the Spirit Devourer secret art and sent him into the Spirit Transformation Pool, where he found more than a hundred powerful Flesh Spirit crystals.
• Li Ze spent nearly a million years comprehending Spirit Devourer, then tested it by linking the genes in his right hand to a Flesh Spirit and enduring the painful transformation.
• Li Ze extended the secret art throughout his body, drawing in Source Power and restorative special medium as his genes began to develop Source Aura.
• Li Ze consumed the first Flesh Spirit crystals in succession and judged that his body would reach the Source Realm if he continued absorbing them.

Li Ze’s genes continued absorbing Flesh Spirits far beyond the point where Dong He’s had reached the Source Realm, revealing the extraordinary foundation he had built by breaking the 100,000-times life-gene limit. After tens of thousands of years, his genes finally reached their limit and his body transformed into the Source Realm, leaving him astonished by its immense strength.

• Li Ze realized his Gene Strength had surpassed ten times its previous level without his body reaching the Source Realm, and suspected his genes were unusually strong because he had broken the life-gene limit as a Universe Master.
• As Li Ze continued devouring Flesh Spirits, he studied bodily cultivation and observed his Gene Strength rise to forty times its original level without producing the aura of perfection.
• After another eight thousand years, Li Ze’s Gene Strength neared forty-nine times its original level, and his body began to emit a faint aura of perfection as only one Flesh Spirit remained.

• Li Ze opened his eyes after tens of thousands of years and discovered that his Source Realm body surpassed his former strength and could withstand attacks from the most powerful God Emperors without the Heaven-Defying Armor.

Li Ze used one of the eighteen Medium Source World Crystals Yuan had given him to devour an entire Source World and replenish the Origin Power he had spent in the Lord Game. His Inner Universe grew stronger, but it still showed no sign of transforming into a Source World, so he moved on to the next one.

• Li Ze met Yuan, who praised his Origin-Level body and gave him transmission Crystals for eighteen Medium Source Worlds won in the Lord Game.
• Yuan explained that Source Worlds were the foundation of the Cultivator Faction and offered to protect Li Ze when his Inner Universe began breaking through.
• Li Ze activated a Crystal and entered the Origin Land of a Medium Source World whose Origin Will Yuan had sealed.
• Li Ze used the Cosmic Sealing Spirit Art to devour the Source World's Origin Light Points, replenishing the Origin Power spent in the Lord Game and strengthening his Inner Universe.
• Li Ze devoured all the Source World's Origin Power, causing it to collapse, but his Inner Universe still did not begin transforming into a Source World.
• Li Ze activated another Crystal and entered the Origin Land of the next Medium Source World.

Li Ze’s Inner Universe accumulated the Origin Power of eighteen Medium Source Worlds, gaining a Source World Membrane, expanding, and giving him absolute control over its Origin Power without transforming into a Source World. After devouring the final world, he resolved to seek more Origins from worlds controlled by other factions to continue strengthening his untested cultivation path.

• Li Ze realized that even the Origin Power accumulated from many Medium Source Worlds had not triggered his Inner Universe’s transformation, though the universe had begun developing Source World characteristics.
• Li Ze discovered that his Inner Universe was slowly expanding and that he could control and unleash all its Origin Power at once, greatly increasing his strength at the cost of rapidly exhausting it.

• Li Ze decided to finish devouring the final Medium Source World and then seek Origins controlled by other factions for further growth.
• Li Ze completely devoured the Origin Power of the eighteenth Source World.

After a million epochs of cultivating, Li Ze tested the immense power of his expanded Inner Universe and challenged the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master to a spar. His sword strike proved powerful enough to approach top-tier High Source Being strength, but the Alliance Master easily overwhelmed him, revealing the gap between them.

• Li Ze found that his Inner Universe had stopped expanding at nearly thirty quadrillion light-years across, and he could wield its Origin Power without burning it.
• Li Ze judged that his strength could rival an ordinary High Source Being and traveled to Infinite Source Space to test himself against the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master.
• Li Ze unleashed his full strength and used a sword technique that fused the insights of hundreds of complete Daos and thousands of incomplete Daos.
• The Myriad Mountain Alliance Master met Li Ze's sword with a casual strike and sent him flying tens of trillions of light-years.
• The Myriad Mountain Alliance Master praised Li Ze's combat power as nearly equal to that of a top-tier High Source Being.

Li Ze accepted a Guest Elder position in the Corrosive Water Team after the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master offered him benefits without obligations. He learned about the Land of Void Source and received maps, expert records, and safe-point coordinates for future exploration.

• The Myriad Mountain Alliance Master explained the dangers and opportunities of the Land of Void Source, where Li Ze planned to seek Origin Power.
• The Myriad Mountain Alliance Master gave Li Ze a map, information about powerful experts, and coordinates for the Cultivator Faction's Safe Points.
• After seeing the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master out of Eternal City, Li Ze Teleported back to his manor and sat down to meditate.

Li Ze studied the map and records of Infinite Source Space, then decided to seek Origin Power in the Land of Void Source rather than risk devouring Source Worlds controlled by rival factions. Yuan arranged an expedition to the Source Sea with Li Ze, the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master, and other Cultivator Faction experts, and they arrived at the Land of Void Source.

• Li Ze examined the two Crystals from the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master and learned how vast Infinite Source Space was and how many powerful Source Experts lived there.
• Several hundred thousand epochs later, Yuan visited Li Ze, who explained that he had halted his attempt to break through to Hunyuan after sensing a fatal danger in transforming his Inner Universe.

• A month later, Yuan took Li Ze and the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master through repeated Teleportations, warning them not to enter Spacetime Rifts.
• Yuan, Li Ze, and the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master reached the Land of Void Source, where Li Ze saw its violent Source Qi Flow and distant celestial bodies.

Yuan brought Li Ze and the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master to meet Xuan Yue and three other experts, asking Xuan Yue to guide them through the Source Sea. The group set off for the Heavenly Spirit Sea Domain, where they would begin their trials and adventures.

• Xuan Yue arrived at a palace by the Source Sea and met Heng Lan, Nan Qing, and Bi Qianyun, who discussed Yuan’s summons.
• Yuan arrived with Li Ze and the Myriad Mountain Alliance Master and introduced them as Wanshan and Yongheng, two newly advanced Source Experts seeking their first Source Sea trials.

• Xuan Yue explained that the group was heading to the Heavenly Spirit Sea Domain, where Origin Level treasures and experts from across the Infinite Source Space gathered.
• Heng Lan put away the palace, and the six experts set off toward the Source Sea.

Li Ze and his companions entered the Heavenly Spirit Sea Domain through the Cultivator Faction’s outpost, where they learned the rules and dangers of exploring it. Separated by the entry channels, Li Ze arrived in a strange world and began investigating its severe restrictions.

• Xuan Yue led Li Ze and the others to the Cultivator Faction’s outpost, where Silver Star warned them about the Heavenly Spirit Sea Domain and gave each of them a Heavenly Spirit Token.
• Silver Star explained that the tokens could return them to the outpost, but their power would expire after one million trillion epochs inside the domain.
• Xuan Yue entered a vortex channel first, and Li Ze and the others followed one at a time, each sent to a random world.
• Li Ze passed through the domain’s powerful barrier and descended into a desolate mountain range within a vast, populated world.
• Li Ze discovered that teleportation was impossible, divine power had limited range, and an overwhelming pressure increased as he flew higher, so he returned to the ground to contact his companions.

Unable to identify his location or reunite with Xuan Yue and the others, Li Ze traveled toward a distant mountain to investigate the unknown world. Sea beasts guarding the route attacked him, but he crushed their formation and captured their leader to search his memories for information.

• Li Ze learned from Xuan Yue that none of the experts could identify his world, so he decided to investigate it and headed west toward a distant mountain.
• A clan of sea beasts detected Li Ze approaching its Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground and ordered its forces to attack him.
• Li Ze repelled the beasts’ blue-arrow formation, revealed his true strength, destroyed their giant formation, and killed nearly the entire clan.
• Li Ze restrained the surviving black-robed Elder and demanded access to his soul memories.
• The Elder gave up resistance, and Li Ze began learning about the world from the memories he examined.

After probing Miza’s memories, Li Ze learned about Luofu World, its four supreme factions, and the Condor Tribe’s Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground. He killed Miza and headed for the mountain to investigate its secrets, despite Lingyuan Kingdom’s blockade and the dangers within.

• Li Ze learned from Miza’s memories that the Condor Tribe lived in Luofu World and that four supreme factions ruled most of Mingyun Continent.
• Li Ze discovered that the Condor Tribe’s Sacred Mountain was one of Luofu World’s great forbidden grounds and suspected it held the treasures and secrets he sought.
• Li Ze learned that Lingyuan Kingdom had sealed off the Endless Wasteland, while the Condor Tribe ambushed visitors seeking to enter the forbidden ground.
• Li Ze finished probing Miza’s memories and killed him.
• Li Ze decided to investigate the Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground and continued toward the mountain.

The Lingyuan Kingdom Ruler learned that Sacred Mountain was nearing Spirit Transformation and planned to devour its Origin Source to reach the Origin Level, with Ling Yuan Progenitor’s help. As the Golden Threads spread across the mountain, Ying Xi approached in search of an opportunity, but the mountain swallowed him.

• Jue Ru reported Sacred Mountain’s changes, and the Lingyuan Kingdom Ruler ordered Lingyuan Kingdom’s Emperor Realm experts to gather secretly.
• Ling Yuan Progenitor appeared in the Divine Temple and told the experts that the Spirit Transformation could bring great rewards but carried mortal danger.
• Two days later, the Lingyuan Kingdom Ruler led a host of Emperor Realm Sea Beasts toward the Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground.
• Ying Xi noticed Golden Threads spreading from Sacred Mountain’s peak and charged toward them, hoping to find an opportunity.
• The Golden Threads wrapped around Ying Xi and dragged him into a crack in the mountain, after which the threads spread slightly faster.

Li Ze entered the Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground, endured its dangerous Holy Light, and reached the Condor Tribe’s Zushu before discovering a battle over a powerful boulder. After killing the Destiny Clan fighters and mountain spirits with his sword domain, he stopped the boulder from escaping into a fissure.

• Li Ze approached the Sacred Mountain Forbidden Ground, resisted its influence on his emotions, and entered despite the dangers of its mountain spirits and Holy Light.
• Li Ze survived a direct strike from the Holy Light and, two days later, reached the Condor Tribe’s Ancestral Land, where he saw the Zushu within a silver-white mist array.
• Li Ze sensed a disturbance near the valley and flew toward it, discovering four Eight-clawed Cyan Scorpions fighting mountain spirits and trying to free a massive boulder.
• The blade-wielding Eight-clawed Cyan Scorpion, Moxin, challenged Li Ze, but Li Ze unleashed his sword domain and killed the four Destiny Clan Sea Beasts and the mountain spirits.
• As the boulder began sinking into a fissure, Li Ze summoned a massive palm and grabbed it to keep it from escaping.
