Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan discovered why Rootless City's residents avoided meeting people's eyes: anyone who did so turned into a plant that vanished after seven days. The shop assistant revealed that residents could not leave the city without disintegrating, leaving Chen Changan puzzled about why the secret had not spread.

• Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan noticed Rootless City's residents acted furtively and avoided eye contact, so they questioned the inn's shop assistant.

• Chen Changan learned the grass lay in a pit about twenty miles west of the city and hurried there with Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan, followed by others.

Chen Changan and his companions entered a cave to investigate a strange blade of grass, while people outside debated whether to seize the secrets of the Rootless Land from him. When Chen Changan plucked the grass, it grew several meters and transported the three of them to another space that seemed to be the opposite of the Rootless Land.

After fighting attacking plants that vanished into emerald light, they encountered a giant butterfly that spoke and tried to block their path.

• The trio traveled through the vast space and encountered a gigantic butterfly that said it intended to stop them.

Chen Changan defeated a mutated butterfly guarding the path and continued through the strange place with Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan. They found a courtyard occupied by two little girls, who invited them to play hide-and-seek and warned that they would be punished if they failed to find them.

• Chen Changan charged the mutated butterfly, overcame its attacks, and forced it to admit defeat.
• The butterfly shrank and fled after Chen Changan asked it about the place and its strange plants.
• Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan passed other creatures and discovered a courtyard.
• Two little girls in the courtyard invited the group to play hide-and-seek.
• Su Yihuan agreed to play, and the girls warned that they would punish the group if they could not find them.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan failed to find the two mysterious girls before nightfall, and the girls turned Su Yihuan into a pig as punishment. Mu Yunyao began a new game of hide-and-seek, hoping Chen Changan could study the girls’ abilities and find a way to restore Su Yihuan.

• The two little girls challenged Su Yihuan to find them before nightfall, and Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan searched separately.
• The three returned to the courtyard without finding the girls, who appeared and declared that they had won.

• Chen Changan learned that the girls had created strange creatures to keep themselves company and suspected they could transform living things at will.
• Mu Yunyao agreed to play hide-and-seek with the girls before daybreak so Chen Changan could observe them and seek a way to restore Su Yihuan.

• The two little girls vanished again, and Chen Changan deduced that they could disguise themselves as anything while changing their auras.
• Chen Changan proposed demolishing the courtyard to force the girls out, and they appeared and admitted defeat.
• The girls changed Su Yihuan back, freeing her from her pig form.
• Chen Changan asked the girls about the Rootless Land, its seven-day rule, the people who became plants, and their purpose, but they refused to answer because he had not followed the game’s rules.
• Mu Yunyao offered to teach the girls more entertaining games, while she and Chen Changan bickered about their childhood before she urged everyone to focus on the questions.

Chen Changan questioned the two mischievous children and learned that they were the Realm Spirits who ruled the Two Poles Realm. He discovered how they created the Rootless Land and its seven-day punishment, then asked about the weed that had brought him there.

• Mu Yunyao used games to win over the two children, who agreed to talk with Chen Changan despite still calling him a rule-breaker.
• The children explained that the Two Poles Realm had no life force and that its Two Poles Power could transform living beings; life force in plants brought there gradually faded.
• They revealed that the Rootless Land had originally been part of the Two Poles Realm, which they sent into the True Realm to relieve boredom and read outsiders’ memories.
• The children said that anyone who stayed in the Rootless Land beyond seven days was punished by Two Poles Power, turning into plants if they looked directly at another person, before being transferred to the Two Poles Realm.
• The children identified themselves as the Realm Spirits and rulers of the Two Poles Realm, then said they periodically placed the weed in the Rootless Land and that Chen Changan was the only one who had dared to pull it out.

Chen Changan learned that the two Realm Spirits had cursed people in the Rootless Land to become plants to keep the Two Poles Realm alive. He proposed a deal: he would help sustain their realm if they let him wield the Two Poles Power.

• The two Realm Spirits explained that people who watched the weeds for more than seven days turned into plants, and Chen Changan urged them to undo the curse.
• Mu Yunyao spent seven days playing with the two little ones and trying to teach them, while Chen Changan and Su Yihuan avoided helping.
• The Realm Spirits said they could restore the people in the Rootless Land, but feared the Two Poles Realm would become barren and they would disappear without living creatures.
• Chen Changan realized the Two Poles Power could transform beings beyond the Human Race and proposed sustaining the realm in exchange for wielding that power.

Chen Changan negotiated with the Two Poles Realm’s spirits to gain the Two Poles Power and a way to send transformed things into their realm, then resolved the problem affecting the Rootless Land’s people. He and Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan returned to the cave, where they prepared to face the people gathered outside.

• Chen Changan persuaded the two Realm Spirits to give him the Two Poles Power by promising to bring them fun things and help transform them into the Two Poles Realm.
• The Realm Spirits agreed that the Rootless Land could serve as a medium for sending things into their realm, and Chen Changan said he could carry the Rootless Land in a separate space.
• The Realm Spirits quickly solved the problem affecting the people in the Rootless Land, and Chen Changan praised them for their abilities.
• Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan realized that Chen Changan could use praise to persuade the Realm Spirits, but Chen Changan and the spirits overheard their voice transmission.
• Chen Changan and the others left the Two Poles Realm and returned to the cave, where they noted that the people from the Rootless Land had likely gathered outside.

Chen Changan freed the people trapped in the Rootless Land, but many suspected he was hiding its secret and chose to confront him. As the Rootless Land prepared to disappear from the True Realm, Chen Changan faced more than a thousand Two Emperors Realm cultivators who stayed to seize the secret.

• Chen Changan told the gathered people that their bodily affliction had been solved, but they accused him of trying to trick them into looking up.
• After Chen Changan argued that a lie would be quickly exposed, one person looked up without turning into a plant, and the crowd celebrated its freedom.
• Chen Changan announced that the Rootless Land would disappear from the True Realm, and some people left while others demanded to know its secret.
• More than a thousand people at the Two Emperors Realm stayed to pursue the secret, and Chen Changan accepted their choice and prepared to test the Two Poles Power.

Chen Changan used the Two Poles Power to turn the Rootless Land’s intruders into toys, then moved the land into his own space. As he prepared to leave with Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan, he noticed that a mountain stood where he remembered a plain.

• Chen Changan transformed the Emperor Heaven Realm powerhouses into toys with the Two Poles Power, exhausting the power he had borrowed.
• Chen Changan explained the power’s limits to Su Yihuan, while the two Realm Spirits gave him more Two Poles Power and eagerly took the toys he demonstrated.
• Chen Changan moved the Rootless Land into a separate space inside himself with the Realm Spirits’ help.
• Chen Changan proposed creating a place like the Saint Dragon Ruins in his Small World so its inhabitants could adapt to the True Realm, and Mu Yunyao agreed it made sense.
• Chen Changan stopped before leaving and pointed out that a mountain stood where he remembered a plain, puzzling Mu Yunyao and Su Yihuan.

Chen Changan and his companions followed the moving image of Sky Dragon Peak to a hidden space, where he met Hong Tianlong and learned why his father had sent him away and ordered the Emperor's Pavilion elders to form separate factions. Hong Tianlong began to explain what he knew about the Ancient Forbidden Land as Chen Changan asked for answers.

• Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Su Yihuan followed Sky Dragon Peak's moving image for three months until it vanished, then Chen Changan used the Space Law to find its hidden entrance.
• The three entered the space and met Hong Tianlong, who recognized Chen Changan as the Young Master and explained that the elders had looked serious at his birth because they were worried about sending him away.
• Hong Tianlong showed Chen Changan around Sky Dragon Peak and described Tianlong Gate as a powerful faction whose members were mostly in the Two Emperors Realm.
• Hong Tianlong said Chen Changan's father sent him away because he had to resolve the matter of the Ancient Forbidden Land, and ordered the elders to leave the Emperor's Pavilion and build separate forces.
• Hong Tianlong explained that separating the factions kept the Emperor's Pavilion from becoming an unchecked dominant power, then Chen Changan asked what he knew about the Ancient Forbidden Land.
