• Elder Xuan Yue, who already knew Lin Yan’s further plan, considered the Patrol Team’s return the right time to test whether it would succeed.

After a hundred-year patrol, Elder Xuan Yue’s team returned through settlements Lin Yan had helped establish and saw how their residents had grown into thriving communities. Concentric Valley had become a prosperous refuge and a useful ally for the Kirin Clan, whose help its leaders now sought to defend the settlement from increasing ferocious beasts.

• Elder Xuan Yue and the Patrol Team went to Earthy Palace to report their return and hand over their errands.
• Mo Xuan led Lin Yan and Ao Ye toward the man and woman waiting outside Earthy Palace.

Lin Yan observed Qilin Cliff’s immense but poorly managed prosperity and learned that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were preparing to attack powerful fierce beasts. While he, Mo Xuan, and Ao Ye studied the Dao, spatial power transported them to a pavilion where they found Ancestor Qilin and the Old Daoist Hongjun.

• Lin Yan judged that Qilin Cliff’s resource extraction, Spirit Qi distribution, and clan settlements were inefficient and unsustainable.

• Mo Xuan brought Lin Yan and Ao Ye to study the Dao on Qilin Cliff, and he and Ao Ye wagered Spirit Treasures or Spirit Roots on who would reach the True Immortal Realm first.
• A spatial fluctuation resisted Lin Yan’s Heaven and Earth Bead and suddenly transported him, Mo Xuan, and Ao Ye from the cliff wall to a pavilion above the clouds.
• Lin Yan recognized the pavilion’s host as Ancestor Qilin and saw the Old Daoist Hongjun, who had previously refused to take him as a disciple.

• Luohu gave Lin Yan, Mo Xuan, and Ao Ye strands of Intent of Slaughter and Battle, and Hongjun granted them lotus seeds and advised Lin Yan against arrogance and impatience.
• Ancestor Qilin sent the three juniors aside as Daoist Qiankun named Di Jun and Taiyi as promising figures from the Sun Star.
• Ancestor Yin Yang described the talented siblings Fuxi and Nuwa, and Hongjun spoke of Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian on Kunlun Mountain.

• Ancestor Yin Yang and Daoist Qiankun warned that fierce beasts were gathering across the Primordial Fierce Lands and under the four Kings of Fierce Beasts.

• Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Daoist Qiankun agreed to help, while Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Qiankun prepared to visit the Dragon Palace and Buzhou Mountain as Ancestor Qilin organized for war.

After the pavilion’s discussion, Daoist Qiankun gave Lin Yan a World Tree seed to help develop the Heaven and Earth Bead, while Hongjun and Luohu invited Lin Yan to visit them. Ancestor Qilin asserted the Kirin Clan’s ties to Lin Yan, then Lin Yan chose to join a patrol and delay his breakthrough, though his real obstacle was an unfinished system task.

• Lin Yan carried slower team members through the Earth Veins while the group hurried southwest and avoided prolonged battles with fierce beasts.
• After dozens of days of high-speed travel, Lin Yan felt pain in his meridians and guided the team upward.

After reaching Black Mountain, Lin Yan used the Ecological Deduction Sandbox and discovered that Canyon Home was surrounded by a vast horde of ferocious beasts, though its defensive arrays were still holding. Inside the besieged canyon, Lin San sent Lin Er to repair a damaged array base and confront an Earth Splitting Bear.

• Lin Yan recovered his spiritual power and examined the upgraded system functions and rewards he had gained after reaching the True Immortal Realm.
• Lin Yan led the Special Operations Team across more than three hundred years of intermittent travel until they reached Black Mountain.

• Lin Si reported that an Earth Splitting Bear had damaged an outer array base, and Lin Er set out with a Five Elements Bead to replace it and fight the beast if possible.

Lin Yan reached the besieged Canyon Home with the Special Operations Team and found the fierce beast horde far stronger than his forces. He led a charge to break through the horde and reach the defensive array, while the Earth Dragon Community prepared a hidden underground refuge in case the defenses failed.

• Lin San and Lin Si watched the outer array weaken as the Earth Dragon Community endured a ten-year siege and conserved its dwindling resources.

• The Malevolent Flame Bone Lizard launched a bone spear at Lin Yan, but Lin Yan used the Heaven and Earth Bead to withstand the strike and entered the array.

Lin Yan returned to Canyon Home during the fierce beast siege, reclaimed control of the Wutu Wasteland Suppression Great Array, and helped drive back the attackers. After reuniting with the Earth Dragon Community, he learned of its losses and slow cultivation progress, and encouraged its members to keep working hard.
