Qin Guan defeated Danchenzi in a pill contest, secured the consequences of Xuan Zhan and Yin Yue’s wager, and built ties with Shen Chi and Fu Tianzun.

Qin Guan consolidated his victory over the invaders, helped Zi Qing avenge her family, and joined forces with the Tianyun Auction House against the Immeasurable Pill Sect.

Qin Guan strengthened his allies and entered the Immeasurable Pill Sect in disguise to seek its Immortal Methods while Qing Xuan gathered powerful factions to capture him. The arc ended with Qing Xuan announcing that Qin Guan had infiltrated the sect and asking the assembled cultivators to help flush him out.
Qin Guan recruited Lei Zhen and several powerful allies to help him reach the Forbidden Land and break the golden vortex’s restriction, while Pill Emperor Qing Xuan maneuvered around his plans. After Qin Guan stole the Spirit Garden and gathered resources, Yang appeared and demanded Qin Guan’s Chaos Origin, then opened the vaults of major factions across the Myriad Worlds.
Qin Guan broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm and faced Yang’s attempt to seize his Chaos Origin through a copy of himself. With help from allies across the planes and Yang Tianni’s guidance, Qin Guan won the battle, rejected Yang’s decree, and returned to the Xuantian Sect.
