Li Xinge overwhelmed him in an aura clash, leaving the old ancestor forced to choose between accepting a likely defeat and refusing before the assembled clans.

Li Xinge opened a portal to summon the Li Family’s eligible disciples, including Li Qingshi and an eager little boy, to compete for its opportunities.

• Li Xinge and the other experts found that powerful cultivators entering the Divine Mansion World could cause it to collapse, so they restricted entry to Qi and Blood Realm cultivators and juniors at the Early-stage Innate level or below.

Li Qingshi and Li Qinglin entered the Crimson Flame Half-Saint’s Hidden Treasure grounds with the Li Family’s gathered geniuses, including the surprisingly powerful young Hao’er.

After he ordered that only cultivators at Early-stage Innate or below could enter, a Rogue Cultivator defied him and led the crowd toward the portal.

• Sky-Eating Demon Venerable and Wu Gu Priest demanded access to the Half-Saint’s Hidden Treasure and threatened to destroy it if the Immortal Dao forces refused.

• The three Cui Clan elders cornered and battered Li Wu outside the Crimson Flame Divine Palace, and he used the Golden Body Child Technique to survive their combined strike.

Li Hao appeared just in time to save Li Xingzong from Cui Minghao, then revealed monstrous strength by biting through Cui Minghao’s halberd and nearly killing him with one punch. After Li Hao turned his attention to the other Cui family elders, they fled in opposite directions.

• Li Xingzong pursued and killed more than a hundred Cui Clan elite disciples, further devastating the Cui Clan forces in the Half-Saint’s Hidden Treasure.

• Balu and two Southern Wasteland Witch Tribe fighters arrived, failed to pass the restriction, and demanded that Li Wu and Li Xingzong share the Li Family’s method of entering the palace.

Li Wu and Li Xingzong fought Balu and two Southern Wasteland Witch Tribe cultivators over the method to enter the divine palace, until the Six-Eyed Demon Lord arrived and halted the battle. The Six-Eyed Demon Lord revealed his interest in the Crimson Flame Divine Palace and its inheritance, leaving the gathered groups watching one another warily.

• Balu demanded that Li Wu and Li Xingzong hand over the method to enter the divine palace, then ordered two allies to attack Li Xingzong while he fought Li Wu.

Balu and Six Eyes Demon Lord accused the Li Family of hiding the method to enter the Crimson Flame Divine Palace and prepared to kill Li Xingzong and Li Wu. Li Yanfeng arrived with Li Qiyu and Li Qingshi to save them, but Balu then turned the gathered cultivators against the Li Family by claiming they held the method.

• Balu told Six Eyes Demon Lord that a Li Family member had entered the Crimson Flame Divine Palace and accused Li Xingzong and Li Wu of withholding the entry method.
• Six Eyes Demon Lord chose to threaten the Li Family despite his grandfather's warning, and he and Balu's group surrounded Li Xingzong and Li Wu.
• Li Xingzong and Li Wu activated the Burning Blood Scripture, but Li Yanfeng, Li Qiyu, and Li Qingshi arrived and helped suppress it.

• Li Xingzong denied Balu's accusation, but Balu pointed to the Li Family member who had entered the palace, leaving Li Xingzong unable to respond.

• A radiant golden figure appeared deep within Li Hao’s Consciousness Sea, cracked the Crimson Flame Half-Saint’s Divine Soul with its voice, and was recognized as a true Heavenly Human Saint.

Li Hao survived the Crimson Flame Half-Saint’s attempt to possess him when a Heavenly Human Saint erased the intruder and strengthened Li Hao’s Divine Soul. After the Saint vanished, Li Hao learned that the old turtle’s contract now bound the turtle to him.

Li Hao gained the Crimson Flame Half-Saint’s inheritance and left the collapsing Divine Mansion World with Old Turtle, who pledged to serve him. After the Crimson Flame Divine Palace vanished, Li Hao reunited with Li Wu, and the Li Family concealed the inheritance as suspicious and greedy onlookers watched them.

• Old Turtle told Li Hao that the inheritance included the Crimson Flame Spear, the Crimson Flame Divine Palace, the Crimson Flame Sacred Flame, and the Crimson Flame Burning Heaven Art, which suited a Fire Spirit Body.
• Li Hao decided to give the fire-based inheritance to Great Elder Grandpa, and Old Turtle carried him through a void portal as the Divine Mansion World collapsed.
• The Crimson Flame Divine Palace expelled everyone, then disappeared into the void, leaving the gathered factions without its treasures.
