Jiang Taixu chose to draw out the hidden enemies attacking the Jiang family and emerged after they weakened the Great Emperor Formation Pattern. When three ancient Old Monsters and thirteen Saint Lords attacked, he revealed his recovery and reunited with Caiyun, then prepared to kill his enemies as the hidden wielder of an Extreme Emperor Weapon continued to restrain the Hengyu Furnace.

• Ye Fan advised Jiang Taixu to let the attackers reveal themselves before striking, and Jiang Taixu agreed to punish those who came to the Dragon Transformation Pool without pursuing their forces afterward.
• The attackers’ incomplete earth formation patterns prevented either Extreme Emperor Weapon from being fully activated, while Jiang Taixu reinforced the Great Emperor Formation Pattern and let the Jiang family fight outside the underground palace.

Jiang Taixu slaughtered the invading Saint Lords and killed the Dark Night Monarch, reestablishing his name across the Big Dipper. After the Divine City was unsealed, sacred-land Saint Lords arrived to prove their innocence, but Ouyang Ye exposed Ye Fan’s presence and drew the attention of his enemies.

• Ouyang Ye spotted Ye Fan among the crowd and shouted that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had hidden in the Dragon Transformation Pool, prompting people with grievances against Ye Fan to step forward.

Jiang Taixu protected Ye Fan from his enemies, offered him ten million jin of Source to help break the Sacred Body’s curse, and helped settle his conflicts with the sacred lands. After a clash with the Feng family over their proposed marriage alliance, Ye Fan prepared to attempt his breakthrough at the Dragon Transformation Pool as Bai Yue and the gathered cultivators watched.

• Under the full moon, Bai Yue and a vast crowd gathered beside the Dragon Transformation Pool, where Ye Fan arrived in white robes to begin his breakthrough.

Ye Fan broke through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm at the Dragon Transformation Pool, but a primordial Dao diagram crippled his Dao foundation and left him with at most a year to live. He then defeated every challenger who came forward, while Bai Yue urged him to rely on his own efforts to overcome the injury.

• Ye Fan greeted Bai Yue before unsealing the Dragon Transformation Pool and beginning his breakthrough as Jiang Taixu and other protectors guarded him from attackers.
• Ye Fan endured successive waves of lightning tribulation, then suffered a primordial Dao diagram that damaged his life source and bound his future cultivation.
• Jiang Taixu tried to cleanse the Dao diagram with his divine blood, but Bai Yue stopped him, stabilized Ye Fan, and advised Ye Fan to temper himself by overcoming the injury without using his backup plan unless necessary.
• After Jiang Taixu agreed not to interfere in fights, more than a dozen young cultivators challenged Ye Fan, who defeated them with overwhelming strength, including Xia Jiuyou.
• No one else accepted Ye Fan's repeated challenges, and the gathering ended as many observers worried that he might yet break the shackles of heaven and earth.

As the Big Dipper entered a Golden Age and the Primordial races gathered at Jade Pool, Ye Fan faced an Ancient King who demanded to see the human Sacred Body and insulted Great Emperor Wushi. Ye Fan answered the king’s threats by drawing an ordinary sword and declaring that he would suppress him with one strike, leaving the crowd expecting the attack to fail.

After the Western Emperor Pagoda halted the confrontation and Ye Fan released the Ancient King, the two went outside to fight, where Ye Fan made him kneel again.

• Ye Fan used the pearl's limited-time One Sword Immortal Kneels skill to force the Dragon Head Ancient King to kneel, stunning the gathered humans and Ancient Clans.

• Ye Fan forced five Ancestor Kings to kneel, while six fled into the void and chose to fight the Human Race rather than retreat.
• Jiang Taixu intercepted the six fleeing Ancestor Kings and killed them, then asked the five kneeling kings to discuss matters peacefully.

• Great Sage Huntuo arrived at the gathering and received the Primordial races’ reverence, while Bai Yue watched him with interest.

The Immortal Ascension Path opened, but Bai Yue warned Ye Fan that it led through a deadly route rather than to the Immortal Domain. Years later, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue’s wedding began, and Bai Yue offered to deal with a guest who insulted Jiang Taixu.

• Gai Jiuyou and Great Sage Huntuo helped negotiate rules limiting how freely Saints and stronger cultivators could act, and the Black Emperor used a letter from Great Emperor Wushi to settle the dispute.

Seven Forbidden Zone Supremes forced their way along the Immortal Ascension Path, but their attempt to reach the Immortal Domain ended in disaster and several died or dissolved into the Dao. The surviving Supremes launched new Dark Turmoils to replenish their life essence, while Bai Yue heard the suffering and felt sympathy for the slaughtered lives.

• Seven Forbidden Zone Supremes broke through the Immortal Domain Gate, crossed the Sea of Worlds, and entered a mysterious opening, followed by four more Supremes.

Divine Court reached Heavenly Court’s headquarters, where Black Emperor activated Ye Fan’s Star Formation and nullified the Emperor Lord’s oppressive aura.
