He recruited Mei Longzheng as a teacher and ordered him to report the True Spirit Yellow Dragon’s tribulation to the Beast Taming Sect, leaving Mei frightened but obedient.

• Qing Nü learned that Yang Jing and her younger brother had been targeted for Body Snatching since childhood, and she vowed to avenge them.
• Chen Mobai and Qing Nü buried Yang Jing in a Forbidden Land, where Qing Nü mourned for seven days and the Sky Swallowing Snake later made its nest.

True Monarch Wuchen ordered the Wilderness Opening to begin early and expand the Eastern Continent’s Seventh Domain, and Yuan Zhen sent the warning to the Five Elements Sect.

• Chen Mobai refused to kill Mei Longzheng, saying he had already built a stage for an audience.

After visiting Tianpeng Mountain and Giant Wood Ridge, he finalized the expedition personnel while deciding to delay the Longevity Wood’s advancement into Azure Dragon Wood.

• Chen Mobai learned that the Beast Taming Sect still coveted the True Spirit Yellow Dragon, but other major sects were unwilling to provoke the Five Elements Sect, so he planned to create an opening by leading his forces away from the sect’s defenses.
• Chen Mobai rode Little Yellow Dragon Girl to Tianpeng Mountain, where he asked Zhuo Ming to look after the Five-Horned Ancient Maple, gave Han Zhiling a revised Crimson Flame Sword Scripture, and invited her to join the Wilderness Opening.
• Eastern Wasteland cultivators followed Chen Mobai to Tianpeng Mountain seeking treasure, but Ye Bogui captured them, and Zhuo Ming ordered that they be examined and released if they posed no threat.

• Chen Mobai brought Yin Qingmei to North Abyss City, finalized the Wilderness Opening personnel with Zhou Shengqing, Mo Douguang, and the others, and received the Dao Virtue Sect’s formal order seven days later.

The Five Elements Sect prepared to send cultivators and airships to the Dao Virtue Sect’s wilderness-opening campaign at East Ridge Immortal City, with Chen Mobai taking command.

• A Bone Pearl emerged from the back of the black-robed man’s head and transformed into someone who should have been dead.

Chen Mobai arrived at East Mausoleum Immortal City with the Five Elements Sect for the Wilderness Opening, after hearing reports from Luo Yixuan and gathering Pure Spirit Immortal Qi.

• Yuan Zhen recognized Chen Mobai’s arrival as Little Yellow Dragon Girl’s golden light appeared, leaving Earth Virtue embarrassed by the Five Elements Sect’s growing prestige.

Chen Mobai arrived at Eastern Mausoleum Immortal City riding the True Spirit Yellow Dragon and established the Five Elements Sect’s claim as an Orthodox Lineage of Yi Yuan before the Eastern Continent’s great sects. The leaders then planned the Wilderness Opening, which would establish the Eastern Mausoleum domain, and began dividing their forces’ routes toward the Golden Flame Suanni’s territory.

• Chen Mobai arrived at Eastern Mausoleum Immortal City on the yellow dragon, and Earth Virtue Mountain Master called both Primordial Unity Dao Palace and the Five Elements Sect branches of Yi Yuan’s lineage.
• Chen Mobai introduced Little Yellow Dragon Girl as Yellow Dragon’s daughter, but Earth Virtue declined to settle their seniority and agreed to discuss it separately.
• Chen Mobai took a seat of honor beside Earth Virtue and shared that Spirit Transformation was the beginning of joining with the Dao and returning to truth.

• Shenxi assigned the Holy Lands to attack Shituo Ridge and divided the north, east, and south approaches among Xing Ji, Earth Virtue, and Chen Mobai, with Dao Coins rewarding demon-beast kills.
• Shenxi used a map and Eight Trigrams to divide the Wilderness Ruins into regions, and the Nascent Soul leaders began discussing the detailed assignments.

Chen Mobai attended a meeting where the pioneering campaign in the Desolate Ruins was divided into eight regions, and learned how cultivators could earn Dao Coins toward valuable pills. At a gathering with the Holy Land Dao Sons and Saintesses, he heard that True King Taixu had returned to the Spirit Void Immortal Realm to look for something.

• Shenxi expanded the pioneering campaign from four routes to eight, assigned regions to major sects, and set Dao Coin rewards for Demon Beast kills.
• Chen Mobai asked whether one hundred million Dao Coins could buy a Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill, but Shenxi clarified that only killing the Golden Flame Suanni guaranteed one.

• Zhang Pankong said the Taixu headquarters had received an oracle after True King Taixu returned, and Yuan Zhen revealed that he had come back to look for something.

Chen Mobai learned more about the Gate of the Void and the Wilderness Opening, then organized the Five Elements Sect’s campaign in the Desolate Ruins. As the sects recruited forces and advanced, Myriad Spirits Sect Dao Son Su Taifeng accepted Chen Mobai’s request to meet and declared that he intended to claim the Little Yellow Dragon Girl as his bonded True Spirit.

• Yuan Zhen told Chen Mobai that True King Taixu was searching for the Gate of the Void, while Xuande and Zhang Pankong discussed the Wilderness Opening, True Spirit pills, and the Golden Flame Suanni.
• Chen Mobai returned to the Five Elements Sect camp, delegated administrative work to Zhou Wangshen and military command to Duan Shuyu, and surveyed the Kun Position region with his Second Nascent Soul.

• Chen Mobai sent Han Zhiling to deliver a Message Talisman to Mu Youyi, and Su Taifeng agreed to meet Chen Mobai while claiming that the Little Yellow Dragon Girl would become his bonded True Spirit.

Chen Mobai rejected Su Taifeng’s attempt to trade a Heavenly Spirit Pill for Little Yellow Dragon Girl and learned that Su Taifeng possessed formidable Nascent Soul strength. As Chen Mobai weighed how to handle him during the Wilderness Opening, White Bone Dharma King ordered Kuang Jiyuan to attack the righteous forces in Eastern Li when Wuchen and the Golden Flame Suanni began fighting.

• Chen Mobai met Mu Youyi, Ao Shizheng, and Su Wuming at Qianyuan Tower and sensed that Su Wuming concealed exceptional power.
• Su Taifeng offered Chen Mobai a Heavenly Spirit Pill in exchange for Little Yellow Dragon Girl, but Chen Mobai refused and declared her more precious than the pill or its formula.

Chen Mobai organized the Five Elements Sect’s expansion into the Desolate Ruins while the other great sects fought demon-beast armies for the Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill. The arrival of True Monarch Wuchen led to the deployment of the Dao Virtue Sect’s Heaven and Earth Astrolabe, as the Three Great Holy Lands prepared to face the Golden Flame Suanni.

• Chen Mobai surveyed the Desolate Ruins and led the Five Elements Sect to occupy Venus Valley, where he spared the Mountain Armor Beasts to help locate mineral veins.
• Chen Mobai assigned Mo Douguang, Yin Qingmei, and Zhou Wangshen to establish five Immortal Cities and expand across the surrounding Spirit Veins.

• True Monarch Wuchen deployed the Heaven and Earth Astrolabe Formation, bringing the spiritual energies across the region under its control.

Chen Mobai watched True Monarch Wuchen and Great Void True Monarch pursue the Golden Flame Suanni after the Heaven and Earth Astrolabe Formation sealed Shituo Ridge. The Three Great Holy Lands then began their campaign, but after two years of difficult advances, their armies had only reached the flame- and poison-shrouded foot of Shituo Ridge.

• True Monarch Wuchen activated the Heaven and Earth Astrolabe Formation, draining East Spirit Mountain’s spiritual vein to seal Shituo Ridge.
• The Golden Flame Suanni turned back toward its lair when True Monarch Wuchen and Great Void True Monarch appeared, and the two Spirit Transformation Cultivators teleported away to hunt it.
• Chen Mobai brought Yin Qingmei to Qianyuan Tower, where Shenxi briefed the assembled cultivators on the campaign against Shituo Ridge.
• Han Xingzi of Shattered Jade Hall and Luo Ying Shangren of Snow Mountain Sect arrived and took their seats without confronting Fellow Daoist Hong Yun.

The Three Great Sect Masters defeated two of Shituo Ridge’s Golden Flame Suanni and began clearing the ridge, while the World Purifying Pot drew in its flames. In Venus Valley, Chen Mobai received news of the victory and learned that Jade Moon Pool’s demon snakes were ready to be registered under his account, but an unknown force suddenly dragged him toward the ground as he flew to East Mound Immortal City.

• Shenxi, Ni Chong, and Palace Lord Biluo worked together to kill one Golden Flame Suanni, while another detonated its inner core and the last fled back to Shituo Ridge.
• Hong Yun activated the World Purifying Pot to absorb Shituo Ridge’s flames, and Palace Lord Biluo departed for East Mound Immortal City after the battle.
• Half a month later, Zhang Pankong completed the teleportation array, and news of the Holy Lands’ victory spread among cultivators.
• Luo Yixuan gave Chen Mobai the frontline report, and Han Zhiling told him that Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei had cleared Jade Moon Pool and Zhou Wangshen was bringing its demon snakes to East Mound Immortal City.
• Chen Mobai set out for East Mound Immortal City to register the demon beasts, but a sudden force of gravity pulled him down toward a Wild Mountain.

Chen Mobai fought Su Taifeng, who summoned the Fifth Tier True Spirits Li Li and Yayu and used the Mount Tai Seal to amplify his power. After Chen Mobai unleashed his Myriad Sword Dharma Body and struck down Yayu, Li Li stepped in to face him, leaving the battle at its most dangerous point.

• Chen Mobai attacked Su Taifeng on Wild Mountain with his Purple Lightning Sword and Blaze Dragons, then used Primordial True Qi and a hidden Primordial Yang Sword Sha against him.
• Su Taifeng summoned Li Li, absorbed its Fifth Tier essence, and transformed Wild Mountain into a giant while using the Mount Tai Seal to attack Chen Mobai.
• Chen Mobai revealed multiple Fifth Tier Sword Intents and his Myriad Sword Dharma Body, while Su Taifeng summoned a Yayu dharma image from a bronze statue.
• Chen Mobai's Heaven Intercepting Sword Domain weakened Yayu, and his Purple Lightning Sword split it apart before Li Li intercepted the strike aimed at Su Taifeng.
• Li Li took over the fight, and Chen Mobai admitted his Myriad Sword Dharma Body had limited power outside the Five Elements Sect before provoking Li Li by calling it a pig.
• Li Li revealed its true form and charged Chen Mobai as Palace Lord Biluo sensed its aura from afar and prepared Eastling Immortal City's defenses.

Chen Mobai revealed his Second Nascent Soul’s Spirit Transformation-level power and fought Su Taifeng and the Fifth Tier True Spirit Li Li. After killing both enemies and taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill and Mount Tai Seal, he left with Li Li’s corpse and Essence Blood.

• Chen Mobai used the Primordial Yang Sword to shatter Li Li’s Earth Spiritual Qi attacks, then struck Su Taifeng and disabled his Heaven Escaping Talisman with the Void Blade.
• Li Li shielded Su Taifeng from Chen Mobai’s attacks, but Chen Mobai used Void Lock to trap Su Taifeng and wounded him with the Second Nascent Soul’s sword strike.
• Su Taifeng offered Chen Mobai the Heavenly Spirit Pill and pleaded for his life, but Chen Mobai took the pill and killed him with the Purple Lightning Sword after Su Taifeng’s Nascent Soul fled.
• Chen Mobai ordered his Second Nascent Soul to kill Li Li, disrupted its Earth Escape with the Taiyi Net of Heaven Formation, and pierced it with the Primordial Yang Sword.
• Chen Mobai confirmed Li Li’s death and preserved its Essence Blood, then took nine photos of the slain True Spirit with his phone.

Chen Mobai revealed that his Second Nascent Soul had killed Li Li, a Fifth Tier True Spirit, and the Eastern Continent cultivators recognized his claim as the Orthodox Lineage of Yi Yuan. He agreed to help hunt the Golden Flame Suanni and arrived at East Mausoleum Immortal City, where plans for breaking its lair’s formation remained underway.

• Chen Mobai took Li Li’s inner core before Great Void True Monarch arrived and learned that Chen had slain the Fifth Tier True Spirit.
• Great Void True Monarch invited Chen Mobai to help kill the Golden Flame Suanni and promised him a Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill; he also made the gathered cultivators acknowledge Chen’s status.
• Chen Mobai revealed his Primordial Spirit-level Yiyuan Dao Body, and Earth Virtue accepted him as the Orthodox Lineage of Yi Yuan and agreed to continue pioneering the Kan Position.

• At Qianyuan Tower, Shenxi offered fifth-tier resources for Li Li’s corpse, while Chen Mobai said he intended to refine its remains into magic artifacts and agreed to include Palace Lord Biluo’s friend’s son in the work.
• Shenxi reported that the Heaven and Earth Astrolabe Formation would need about half a year to prepare, and Chen Mobai recognized that the Golden Flame Suanni’s lair formation might be his specialty.

Chen Mobai helped Great Void True Monarch and True Monarch Wuchen break the formation protecting the Golden Flame Suanni while the Eastern Li Demonic Dao launched a major counterattack. The two True Monarchs captured the Suanni and began draining its blood, while the demonic threat forced the righteous sects to mobilize.

• Great Void True Monarch and Chen Mobai left Qianyuan Tower after learning that demonic forces had seized territory in Eastern Li and a Flying Yaksha had massacred righteous cultivators.
• Great Void True Monarch brought Chen Mobai to Dragon Abyss Cave, where he and True Monarch Wuchen studied the Dragon Scale Formation protecting the injured Golden Flame Suanni.
• Chen Mobai used Earth Resonance and his Taiyi Net of Heaven Formation to help True Monarch Wuchen dismantle the formation, while Xuande and Zhang Pankong were dispatched to defend the border.
• Great Void True Monarch used his Golden Ring to transfer the Suanni's inner core into the World Purifying Pot at Shituo Ridge, where Hong Yun and the Burning Heaven Five Meridians contained it with help from the Ice Heaven Three Meridians.
• Great Void True Monarch bound the Suanni with his Silver Ring, and True Monarch Wuchen began draining its blood for the Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill.

After the Golden Flame Suanni’s death transported True Monarch Wuchen and Great Void True Monarch into the Netherworld, Chen Mobai was also swept in but used Turtle Treasure to return to the Sky River Realm. The three reunited, sealed Dragon Abyss Cave’s secret, and prepared to resume the Wilderness Opening while True Monarch Wuchen continued refining the Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill.

• True Monarch Wuchen collected the Golden Flame Suanni’s Essence Blood for the Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill, but a hidden ritual transported him and Great Void True Monarch into the Netherworld.
• True Monarch Wuchen identified Dragon Abyss Cave as a passage tied to the Nether Dragon and the Samsara Disk, while Great Void True Monarch used a Taixu Misty Palace Talisman to find a way back.
• Chen Mobai was pulled into the Netherworld with Dragon Abyss Cave, anchored the world with Turtle Treasure, and returned to the Sky River Realm while fighting off incoming ghosts.
• Great Void True Monarch and True Monarch Wuchen escaped through the passage, and Chen Mobai severed a pursuing creature’s tail before the void crack closed.
• True Monarch Wuchen explained that Tu Ming had likely arranged the trap, and the three cultivators swore to keep Dragon Abyss Cave secret before hiding it with formations and altered terrain.
• Great Void True Monarch and True Monarch Wuchen gave Chen Mobai Message Talismans, then the three left to resume clearing Demon Beasts as True Monarch Wuchen continued refining the pill.

Chen Mobai helped suppress the Golden Flame Suanni’s escaping flames, then took command of Dongling Domain while True Monarch Wuchen prepared to refine the Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill. As the Five Elements Sect expanded into neighboring regions, Hong Yun offered Chen Mobai Sun Sacred Fruits to ease tensions, but their dispute over the Sun Divine Tree remained unresolved.

• Chen Mobai froze the Innate Blazing Sun True Fire, recovered the Great Yin Pearl, and helped True Monarch Wuchen and Great Void True Monarch reclaim the Golden Flame Suanni’s core with the World Purifying Pot.
• True Monarch Wuchen promised the Burning Heaven Five Meridians a Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill if a seventh pill was refined, while Great Void True Monarch arranged for Chen Mobai to receive the Suanni’s pelt.
• Ni Chong revealed that Chen Mobai had reached Spirit Transformation-level strength, and True Monarch Wuchen and Great Void True Monarch appointed him to oversee Dongling Domain as they departed to confront the Demonic Dao and refine the pill.
• Chen Mobai governed Dongling Domain with minimal intervention, and the Five Elements Sect’s forces and incoming Rogue Cultivators rapidly opened the Kun Position before expanding into the Gen and Zhen Positions.
• Hong Yun apologized to Chen Mobai and gave him twelve Sun Sacred Fruits, but Chen Mobai’s suggestion that the Burning Heaven Five Meridians could lose control of the Sun Divine Tree alarmed Hong Yun, who invoked his sect’s ancestral ties to the Profound Fire Sect.
• Han Xingzi met Hong Yun as he left Chen Mobai’s residence, and Hong Yun ignored him and departed.

Chen Mobai learned that the Ice Heaven Three Meridians lacked the method to refine the Great Yin Dao Fruit and offered Han Xingzi a Spirit Transmutation Pill in exchange. After investigating Jade Shattering True Monarch’s Frozen Tomb and completing his Innate Pure Yang Qi, Chen Mobai sensed True Monarch Wuchen arriving at East Mausoleum Immortal City.

• Chen Mobai returned the Great Yin Pearl to Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren, then learned the Ice Heaven Three Meridians had no complete method for refining its Great Yin Dao Fruit.
• Chen Mobai offered Han Xingzi a Spirit Transmutation Pill for the Great Yin Dao Fruit, and Han Xingzi said he would discuss the trade with the other Elders.
• The Azure Radiance Ice Heart Chain detected the Mysterious Yin Dao Fruit’s aura on Luo Ying Shangren, and Yuan Zhen told Chen Mobai about Jade Shattering True Monarch’s Frozen Tomb and the Three Yin Dao Fruits.
• Yuan Zhen revealed that the Nine Heavens Demon Purging Sect was divided over whether Ye Qing or Ni Chong should receive its Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill.
• After another half year, Chen Mobai completed his Innate Pure Yang Qi, assessed Su Taifeng’s restricted Heavenly Spirit Pill, and sensed True Monarch Wuchen arriving.

Chen Mobai received a Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pill and the Golden Flame Suanni's hide as the righteous path distributed the pills, but disputes delayed the award of the final half pill. After attacks targeted pill recipients in Dongling Immortal City, Chen prepared to return to the Eastern Wasteland, and Xing Ji came to see him.

• True Monarch Wuchen gave Chen Mobai first choice of the refined Tong Sheng Zhen Ling Pills and returned the Golden Flame Suanni's hide to him.
• The Nascent Soul Cultivators gathered to distribute the pills by Dao Coin ranking, with Chen Mobai, True Monarch Wuchen, and Great Void True Monarch at the top.
• Earth Virtue challenged the distribution of Hong Yun's pill and the remaining half pill, so True Monarch Wuchen postponed the half pill's exchange for six and a half more years.
• Two masked Nascent Soul Cultivators attacked Hong Yun, and True Monarch Wuchen killed them before Hong Yun could leave Dongling Immortal City safely.
• After another attack targeted the courtyard where Hong Yun had been staying, Chen Mobai handed his duties to Mo Douguang and prepared to return to the Eastern Wasteland.
• Xing Ji came to see Chen Mobai as Chen was preparing to depart.
