Lin Yan strengthened Canyon Home’s Earth Veins and Spirit Qi, completing the first phase of a plan to turn it into a Mystic Realm. He reorganized the Community Guard Team into four divisions and sent them to train in an expanded, more dangerous Trial Ground.

• Lin Yan used the Chaos Eternal Treasure Furnace and Ecological Deduction Sandbox to refine underground nodes, carve new Water Vein channels, and spread pure Spiritual Qi through Canyon Home.

• Lin Yan, Li Zhu, and Rock Mountain moved three mountains into a triangular formation near Canyon Home.

Lin Yan received Lin Liu’s reconnaissance report on the scattered fierce beast armies and launched an expedition to attack the nearest force. The Earth Dragon Guard Team began its assault on the army led by the Iron Spine Demon Wolf King.

• Lin Liu reported the positions, numbers, and leaders of several fierce beast armies spread across the region.
• Lin Yan decided to defeat the isolated armies one by one and ordered nearly ten thousand Earth Dragon Guard Team members to depart after three days.

Lin Yan led the Earth Dragon Guard Team to three victories against fierce beast forces, then learned they were vanguard troops for Taotie’s invasion of the Kirin Clan’s territory. After discovering that Green Pine Ridge and White Stone Mountain were under attack, he faced the choice of sending his exhausted army to rescue them.

• Lin Er and Lin Qi led the Heavenly Division in a surprise attack that routed the first fierce beast force, and the Guard Team secured its first victory despite casualties.
• Lin Yan used the Deduction Sand Table and arrays to lead the army to a second victory, then ambushed a fifty-thousand-strong force in the Black Stone Mountain Range and buried most of it.
• Minghe searched a captured fierce beast’s soul and learned that the defeated forces belonged to Taotie’s vanguard, which was attacking the Kirin Clan’s territory.
• Lin Yan learned that Green Pine Ridge and White Stone Mountain were under assault, and Li Zhu and Minghe urged him to rescue their inhabitants.
• Lin Yan surveyed his exhausted, injured soldiers as he weighed whether to pursue the rescue before the two settlements fell.

Lin Yan, Li Zhu, Minghe, and three hundred Heavenly Division elites arrived at Green Pine Ridge as its defenses fell and launched a surprise attack on the fierce beast army. Li Zhu challenged the Mysterious Immortal One-Horned Bone Ape with her Leaving Fire Treasure Mirror as the battle began.

• Daoist Qing Xuan struggled to maintain the damaged array while fewer than a thousand Plant Spirits sheltered on Green Pine Ridge's main peak.
• Three Earth Splitting Demonic Rhinoceroses breached the array, and fierce beasts poured toward Qing Xuan and the Plant Spirits.
• Lin Yan led Li Zhu, Minghe, and three hundred Heavenly Division elites into the fierce beast army's rear, throwing its formation into chaos.

• Li Zhu charged the One-Horned Bone Ape while Lin Yan and Minghe prepared to take on the other two leaders.
• The One-Horned Bone Ape attacked Li Zhu with Sha Qi Claw Shadows, and she summoned her Leaving Fire Treasure Mirror.

• Li Zhu used the Leaving Fire Treasure Mirror to burn through the One-Horned Bone Ape's defenses, while Minghe weakened and killed the tiger-shaped Fierce Beast with the Yuantu Abhi Twin Swords.
• Minghe saw that Lin Yan had already severed all nine heads of the Nine-Headed Sha Python.
• The One-Horned Bone Ape burned its Origin Source and fired a destructive attack at Li Zhu, but she reflected it through the Leaving Fire Treasure Mirror and wounded it.

• Lin Yan slowed the escaping Origin Source and used the Chaos Eternal Treasure Furnace to seal it.

• Qing Xuan thanked Lin Yan, Li Zhu, and Minghe for saving Green Pine Ridge, then asked to join Lin Yan with the surviving Plant Spirits.
• Lin Yan agreed to shelter Qing Xuan and his people in the Earth Dragon Community, and the group left Green Pine Ridge several days later.
• Lin Yan's Sand Table detected fierce beasts pursuing someone, so he readied his companions and had Qing Xuan's people stay behind the formation.
• Lin Yan, Li Zhu, and Minghe attacked the pursuers and drove them off before Lin Yan absorbed the Fierce Sha Qi from the wounded giant's injuries.
• White Stone Lord introduced himself and revealed that fierce beasts had attacked White Stone Mountain and killed all his clan members.

Lin Yan rescued the wounded White Stone Lord, who joined the Earth Dragon Guard Team and described the force that destroyed White Stone Mountain. Lin Yan secretly investigated the enemy camp, found the fierce beasts far stronger than expected, and returned with several dozen survivors from White Stone Lord’s clan.

• Lin Yan treated White Stone Lord’s injuries and brought him to the Earth Dragon Guard Team’s camp, where White Stone Lord joined the army and asked for help avenging his clan.
• White Stone Lord described a force of nearly seventy thousand fierce beasts led by a powerful Three-Eyed Fierce Beast whose red light had incapacitated him.
• Lin Yan traveled alone to White Stone Mountain, surveyed the ruins, and used the Ecological Deduction Sandbox to map the enemy camp and assess its forces.
• Lin Yan determined that the enemy army was too strong for a direct assault and discovered several dozen surviving members of White Stone Lord’s clan nearby.
• Lin Yan returned to camp, released the survivors from the Heaven and Earth Bead, and joined Li Zhu, Minghe, Lin Er, Lin Qi, Qing Xuan, and Rock Mountain in the Main Military Tent.

Lin Yan planned to defeat the much stronger Fierce Beast Camp by luring its leaders into an array and using repeated harassment to provoke them. After suffering losses from the attackers’ raids, the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape ordered its leaders to search for them and decided to join the hunt itself.

• Lin Yan assessed the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape’s forces and proposed trapping it with the Myriad Laws Return to One Barrier while harassing the camp.
• Lin Yan assigned five thousand Guard Team members to prepare the array and sent three thousand others, led by Li Zhu, Minghe, Rock Mountain, Qing Xuan, and White Stone Lord, to raid the camp.
• Li Zhu, Minghe, Rock Mountain, Lin Yan, and Qing Xuan led successive attacks over several days, killing and injuring Fierce Beasts before retreating.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape berated the Blade-Spined Earth Dragon, Scorpion Queen, and Bat King over the losses and their failure to identify the attackers.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape ordered all True Immortal leaders to search for the allied force and said it would personally take action.

Lin Yan lured the enraged Three-Eyed Fierce Ape away from its camp and toward a concealed array at Boulder Ravine. The beast detected traces of the ambush but stepped inside anyway, and Lin Yan called on the Guard Team to activate the array.

• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape sent its forces to search for the elusive harassment squads and attacked the surrounding mountains, killing some Guard Team Scouts.
• Lin Yan revealed himself and drew the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape’s attention, then endured its attacks with his defensive treasures.
• Lin Yan evaded the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape and gradually led it toward the Guard Team’s concealed array at Boulder Ravine.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape sensed the array but entered its range, confident it could break through and defeat the ambushers.
• Lin Yan announced that the beast had entered the trap and ordered everyone to activate the array.

Lin Yan and five thousand Guard Team members trapped the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape in a powerful Five Elements formation, then attacked as it struggled to break free. The formation held, but the ape’s Destructive Malevolent Light nearly shattered it; Minghe wounded its bone claws while Lin Yan prepared to seize the opening.

• Lin Yan activated the grand formation, and the five thousand Guard Team members raised a five-colored barrier that stopped the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape’s charge.
• Li Zhu unleashed Southern Bright Leaving Fire while Qing Xuan strengthened the flames with his Emu Green Spirit Staff, weakening the ape’s protective malevolent qi.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape fired Destructive Malevolent Light at the barrier, badly shaking the formation and injuring many of its defenders.
• White Stone Lord summoned his White Stone Mountain Seal to block the destructive beam, sacrificing much of his Origin Power to protect the formation.
• Minghe attacked the ape’s forehead with the Yuantu Abhi Twin Swords, but the ape guarded its vertical pupil with its claws, which Minghe wounded.
• Lin Yan saw the ape wounded and distracted, recognizing the moment as the best opportunity to kill it.

Lin Yan and the other True Immortal experts tried to suppress the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape, but the beast sacrificed his Origin Source to awaken his Chaos Demon God bloodline and force a breakthrough. As their attacks failed to stop the growing vortex, Lin Yan made one last attempt to isolate the beast from it with his own Dao.

• Lin Yan used the Earth Spirit Seal and the formation’s power to send an Xuanhuang Light Pillar crashing down on the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape sacrificed his blood, soul, and forehead eye to summon a dark red vortex and draw Law Power from the void.
• Daoist Qing Xuan realized the beast was awakening his Chaos Demon God bloodline and attempting to break through to the Golden Immortal level.
• Li Zhu, Minghe, Daoist Qing Xuan, and White Stone Lord attacked the vortex and the beast with Fire, Slaughter, Wood, and Heavy Earth Laws, but their attacks were neutralized.
• Lin Yan summoned a stronger Xuanhuang Light Pillar and tried to create an orderly Small Heaven and Earth to separate the Three-Eyed Fierce Ape from the vortex.

The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape broke through to Golden Immortal and overwhelmed Lin Yan and the others, but Lin Yan summoned the Chaos Eternal Treasure Furnace to suppress it. The furnace froze the Chaos Fierce Ape in place and began drawing it in.

• The Myriad Laws Return to One Barrier shattered, injuring the Guard Team and Li Zhu, Minghe, Qing Xuan, and White Stone Lord.
• The Three-Eyed Fierce Ape absorbed the dark-red vortex, evolved into a Golden Immortal Beast called the Chaos Fierce Ape, and threatened Lin Yan and the survivors.
• Lin Yan summoned the Chaos Eternal Treasure Furnace, revealing an ancient aura that stunned the Chaos Fierce Ape.
• The Chaos Fierce Ape tried to seize the furnace, but its Sealing Suppression Dao Resonance froze the beast and its Chaos Destruction Power.
• Lin Yan commanded the furnace to seal the Chaos Fierce Ape, and its suction began acting on the beast's existence itself.

Lin Yan sealed the Chaos Fierce Ape, allowing the Earth Dragon Community Guard to rout the remaining Fierce Beasts at great cost. News of the victory drew survivors and powerful Innate Divine Beings to seek refuge with the community while Lin Yan and the others prepared to assess new arrivals.

• Lin Yan sealed the Chaos Fierce Ape in his furnace, ending the threat and causing the Fierce Beast forces to lose their command.
• Lin Yan ordered the Guard Team to pursue the scattered beasts cautiously, and its fighters killed more than twenty thousand while suffering over forty percent casualties.
• Lin Yan had battlefield spoils catalogued and stored in the camp treasury for later rewards to the Guard Team members.

• Lin San, Lin Si, and the others provisionally accepted arrivals including Huǒ Róng, Líng Xī, and Jīn Shí pending further screening.

After a hundred years of recovery, Lin Yan emerged from seclusion to find the Earth Dragon Community had grown to more than 150,000 people. He learned that managing the new arrivals, especially independent True Immortal experts, had become a serious problem.

• Lin Yan examined the Chaos Eternal Treasure Furnace as it refined the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf and Chaos Fierce Ape, struggled to break down the Ice Sha Mysterious Tortoise, and purified a Golden Immortal beast corpse.
• Lin Yan used the furnace’s Chaos Origin Qi and Great Dao Fragments to heal his injuries during a hundred years of seclusion.
• Li Zhu, Minghe, Lin Er, and the others welcomed Lin Yan when he left the Cave Dwelling, and he said his injuries had healed and his cultivation had improved.
• Lin Si reported that more than 150,000 living beings had joined the camp, including 17 registered True Immortal experts, and that about 20,000 newcomers had entered the Newly Attached Camp.
• Lin Si told Lin Yan that disputes among the newcomers were growing harder to manage, as powerful True Immortals resisted the Earth Dragon Community’s authority.

Lin Yan met the newly affiliated cultivators at the temporary camp and used his overwhelming presence to establish his authority. After demonstrating his strength, he secured their agreement to follow the Earth Dragon Community Guard’s rules, though he knew their loyalty would take time to earn.

• Daoist Huo Rong and several True Immortals complained about Li Zhu and Minghe enforcing camp rules, and they considered resisting them.
• Lin Yan arrived from the Main Military Tent and overwhelmed the plaza with his powerful presence, stunning the gathered cultivators.
