• Minghe explained that Lin Changqing’s three Dao paths, especially Sword Dao, had resonated with Yuan Tu and A Bi and asked him to help attain sainthood.

Lin Changqing traveled by Blood Boat to an Asura settlement, learned how dangerous the Blood Sea was, and resolved to spend ten thousand years cultivating there while draining its blood. He planned to create the Asura Great Dao but delayed doing so until Ming He offered him more benefits.

• Lin Changqing took a Blood Boat out onto the Blood Sea, ignored the Asura watching him, and began cultivating.

Lin Changqing intimidated the Asura Race by effortlessly killing a powerful Blood Sea Fierce Spirit, then spent five hundred years absorbing the Blood Sea’s energy. Finding that ordinary sea energy was too weak and slow to refine, he decided to seek out powerful remains, but the Asura Race reminded him that he had promised to create cultivation techniques for them.

• Lin Changqing revealed his power on the Blood Sea, drawing out a seven-thousand-zhang Crystal Blood Ghost at the mid-stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

• After five hundred years of cultivation, Lin Changqing found that the Blood Sea’s ordinary energy was too weak and slow to meet his needs.
• Lin Changqing decided to search for powerful remains, especially those of peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but the Asura Race called out to remind him of his promise to create cultivation techniques for them.

Lin Changqing studied the Asura while pretending to work on their cultivation method, and realized that creating it might require him to establish the Asura Great Dao. When Ming He attacked him for asking for the Saint Ship, another Ming He intervened and revealed that the attacker was his Evil Corpse.

• Lin Changqing persuaded the Asura to fetch the Saint Ship while he stayed behind to learn about their customs and bodies.
• Lin Changqing discovered that the Asura carried the aura of the Asura Great Dao, which did not yet exist, and concluded that he might have to create the Great Dao itself.
• Lin Changqing found that his minor worlds could not break through to the Black Hole Realm one at a time because his particles redistributed energy across all of them.
• Ming He descended on the island and demanded to know why Lin Changqing had asked for the Saint Ship, then attacked him with a palm.
• Another Ming He stopped the attack and warned Lin Changqing that the attacker was the Evil Corpse.

Lin Changqing spent seven thousand years refining the Blood Sea’s foul energy, but his linked minor worlds reached a bottleneck he could not break through. Seeking outside strength to forge a new path, he asked Blood God Son to take him to a powerful corpse and chose a Quasi-Sage skeleton instead of the more dangerous Qilin head.

• Lin Changqing used the Chaos Furnace and Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to refine the Blood Sea’s foul energy and corpses, strengthening his minor worlds.
• After seven thousand years, Lin Changqing found that his billions of linked minor worlds had reached their limit, making a breakthrough extraordinarily difficult.
• Lin Changqing meditated for five hundred years but failed to find a way past the bottleneck, then told Blood God Son he needed external help.
• Lin Changqing asked Blood God Son to take him to the peak Quasi-Sage Qilin head, but Blood God Son warned him it was too dangerous and suggested safer remains.
• Lin Changqing chose the Quasi-Sage skeleton, and the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus descended over its ten-thousand-zhang bones.

Lin Changqing battled the Skeletal Quasi-Saint in the Blood Sea to push himself toward a breakthrough, repeatedly charging back despite being injured. He remained unable to break through and decided the fight still lacked the life-or-death pressure he needed.

• Lin Changqing asked the Blood God Son to lower the barrier so he could fight the Skeletal Quasi-Saint, and the Blood God Son let him enter the Blood Sea.
• Lin Changqing unleashed his full power and struck the skeleton with his spear, but its claw sent him flying a million miles.
• Lin Changqing returned to the fight, using the mindless skeleton as a sparring partner to seek the pressure needed for a breakthrough.
• Lin Changqing discarded his spear and fought the skeleton hand to hand, suffering severe wounds that healed as he continued attacking.
• Lin Changqing sensed the Dark Stars in his miniature worlds beginning to stir, but concluded that the pressure was still insufficient and that he needed a life-or-death crisis.

• Lin Changqing fought the Skeletal Quasi-Saint with only the Nine Secrets, repeatedly returning to the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to recover and reflect.
• After thousands of years of training through battle, Lin Changqing met the Skeletal Quasi-Saint head-on as the Blood Sea cracked around them.

• Lin Changqing broke through to Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal and thanked the Skeletal Quasi-Saint before challenging it again.
• The Skeletal Quasi-Saint roared, gathered crimson light, and began growing phantom flesh over its bones.

After more than three thousand years of battle, Lin Changqing broke through and fought the awakened remnant of a Quasi-Saint qilin to a draw. The qilin faded after thanking him and giving him its Qilin True Blood, and Lin Changqing returned with the Blood God Son, ready to try creating a Dao for the Asura Race.

• Lin Changqing awakened the Quasi-Saint qilin's remnant will through his battle intent, then broke through and fought it to a standstill.
• The qilin told Lin Changqing it was grateful to fight once more before fading away and leaving him a drop of Qilin True Blood.
• Lin Changqing judged that the true blood would not significantly improve his strength and stored it away.
• Lin Changqing returned to the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and told the Blood God Son that his cultivation was complete.
• The Blood God Son asked whether Lin Changqing had found a path to creating a Dao, and Lin Changqing said he had gained insight and would try.

Lin Changqing awakened the incomplete Divine Domain ability and went to meet Ming He after their battle. Ming He brought him to Blood Sea Cliff to inscribe his Dao, then offered him an opportunity that Lin Changqing suspected would put him in danger.

• Lin Changqing awakened the incomplete Divine Domain, a defensive ability that weakened attacks and drained energy from enemies within its range.
• Lin Changqing considered that Ming He might betray him despite their agreement, then traveled to Ming He's island on the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
• Ming He asked whether Lin Changqing had a plan to create a Dao, and Lin Changqing requested a place to leave his Dao imprint.
• Ming He led Lin Changqing to Blood Sea Cliff at the boundary of the inner sea, where Lin Changqing could inscribe his Dao.
• Ming He offered Lin Changqing an opportunity tied to the cliff, but Lin Changqing suspected it was a trap and declined.

Lin Changqing refused Ming He's attempt to send him away and created the Asura Great Dao in the Blood Sea, drawing the attention of the Primordial World's Sages. As the Sages debated what his new Dao might mean, two Western Sages sent someone to attack him.

• The two Western Sages decided Lin Changqing could help their land and sent a figure to strike him with a palm.

Zhunti tried to seize Lin Changqing for the Western Sect, but Lin Changqing resisted with his Divine Demon power and Merit Supreme Treasure. Tongtian arrived in time to drive off Jieyin and Zhunti, leaving Lin Changqing to greet his master.

• Zhunti’s golden hand pressed down on Lin Changqing, but Lin Changqing’s Divine Demon image broke the Saint’s pressure and Ming He’s Three Corpses fought to stop the attack.
• Lin Changqing rejected Zhunti’s demand that he join the Western Sect and summoned his green sword, whose strike carved the golden palm and drove it back.
• Zhunti’s hand returned to seize Lin Changqing, and Lin Changqing despaired as his sword dimmed.
• Tongtian cut through the void, wounded the Western Sect Saint, and deflected a hidden attack from a golden alms bowl.
• Jieyin and Zhunti fled as Tongtian warned them not to target his disciple again, and Lin Changqing paid his respects to his master.

Lin Changqing established the Asura Great Dao and received a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit, while the Heavenly Dao punished Ming He for bringing the Dao into the world too early. As Lin Changqing prepared to leave, Ming He’s Three Corpses were still trapped under divine thunder.

• Lin Changqing established the Asura Great Dao on the cliff, creating a cultivation method that could take Asura cultivators to the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
• The Heavenly Dao phantom appeared and declared that Ming He, not Lin Changqing, would be punished for the premature appearance of the Asura Great Dao.

• Lin Changqing refined the merit and considered leaving, but Ming He’s Three Corpses were still resisting the divine thunder.
