Ye Xinran provided a small tower that let the Heavenly Prodigy Martial Competition quickly select its top two hundred contestants, who were welcomed into Nine Profound City. As Ye Xinran was invited to speak, a mysterious old man noticed her talent and vanished, intending to take her away from the Tianheng Universe.

• Ye Xinran proposed using her small tower to have the contestants fight opponents of equal cultivation and be ranked by their scores, and Lin Chuanhai accepted her suggestion.

Ye Xinran and her companions continued shopping in Nine Profound City while Jiang Wuya followed them, hoping to persuade them to accept him as their master.

• Baili Chenfeng urged Xuan She to stop fighting before their battle revealed the seed's appearance to other experts.

Baili Chenfeng and Xuan She’s struggle over the Divine Wood Dao Seed drew the attention of powerful observers, and the seed fell through a spatial rift into the Tianheng Universe. Xiang Bei and Xiang Dongliu prepared to go there, while Li Xundao wondered whether its strange connection to the universe involved the Primordial Divine Hall.

• Xuan She demanded Baili Chenfeng hand over the Divine Wood Dao Seed, but both men sensed hidden observers and stopped fighting to blame each other.
• Xiang Dongliu asked Xiang Bei whether the Divine Wood Dao Seed was connected to the Venerable Lord, and Xiang Bei said he would pursue it alone because Xiang Dongliu was too weak to help.

• Xiang Bei and Xiang Dongliu discovered that the seed had entered the Tianheng Universe, and Xiang Bei agreed to let Xiang Dongliu accompany him on the condition he not interfere.
• Li Xundao observed that the Divine Wood Dao Seed had connected with a world in the Tianheng Universe without destroying it and wondered whether the Primordial Divine Hall was involved.

Li Xundao explained that the Divine Wood Dao Seed had merged with a world in the Tianheng Universe, likely through the intervention of a hidden expert, and that powerful cultivators would have to enter the universe to pursue it. As Li Xundao and Li Wuxun set out to learn what the Myriad Universe Gate’s master would do, a middle-aged man decided to seek the Dao Seed alone while his white-haired brother guarded their forbidden ground.

• Li Xundao told Li Wuxun that the Divine Wood Dao Seed had transformed into a secret realm and merged with a world in the Tianheng Universe.
• Li Xundao and Li Wuxun concluded that a hidden expert had acted, while the Myriad Universe Gate’s restrictions would limit outside cultivators seeking the Dao Seed.
• Experts who tried to seize the Dao Seed remotely failed and realized they would have to enter the Tianheng Universe despite the Myriad Universe Gate’s rules.

• The middle-aged man chose to go alone and ordered the white-haired man to guard their forbidden ground.

• Xuan She asked Li Xundao about the force, and Li Xundao said it was terrifyingly powerful.
• The experts noticed people entering the secret realm, and Li Wuxun exclaimed in surprise when he saw Ye Xinran.

Li Wuxun recognized Ye Xinran as someone he had known on the Heavenly Desolation Continent and learned she was now the Young Temple Master of the Primordial Divine Hall. After Li Xundao led the group into the secret realm, Ye Xinran and the others discovered its Primordial Origin Spiritual Energy, and Jiang Wuya followed them, insisting he was willing to protect them and even asking Ye Xinran to take him as her master.

• Li Wuxun recognized Ye Xinran and told Li Xundao that she had been his acquaintance on the Heavenly Desolation Continent and was now the Young Temple Master of the Primordial Divine Hall.

• Jiang Wuya revealed that the Divine Wood Dao Seed, the secret realm’s core, was attracting Hua Wuluo and would greatly benefit him.

• A confident young man claiming to rank eleventh on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking touched the barrier and was flung away.
• Luo Yue Bai arrived, approached the barrier, and nervously reached out to test whether she could enter.

Luo Yue Bai failed to enter the secret realm, while Ye Xinran’s group discovered a naturally formed array inside that accelerated cultivation and contained Dao Rhythms. Ye Xinran sensed the Dao Rhythms at once, astonishing Jiang Wuya with her talent.

• Luo Yue Bai was repelled by the secret realm barrier, surprising the onlookers and leaving her disappointed.
• Ye Xinran’s group followed Hua Wuluo through the secret realm instead of teleporting, hoping to find treasures along the way.
• Little Dragon spotted a glowing clearing, and Jiang Wuya explained that it was a natural array with denser spiritual energy, faster time, and more Dao Rhythms.

Li Xundao and the other Ancient Venerable Realm experts entered the secret realm and cautiously approached the Divine Wood Dao Seed, only to discover that its barrier could be broken only by a ninth-level expert. As someone secretly controlled a fifth-level expert into repeatedly attacking the barrier, Hua Wuluo went to investigate, and Jiang Wuya vanished to protect him.

• Xuan She and the others entered the secret realm and, after seeing no response from the hidden powerhouse, asked Li Xundao whether they could approach the Divine Wood Dao Seed.
• At the seed, a fifth-level Ancient Venerable Realm expert struck its barrier and was thrown back; Li Xundao explained that the barrier came from the seed and required ninth-level power to break.
• The fifth-level expert attacked again, and Li Xundao revealed that someone was controlling him, prompting the others to search for the hidden controller.
• Hua Wuluo sensed that the Divine Wood Dao Seed had been disturbed, left the formation alone, and stepped through a spatial portal toward it.
• Jiang Wuya noticed Hua Wuluo heading for the seed and disappeared to protect him while the controlled expert kept crashing into the barrier.
• Li Xundao looked toward the void as a spatial portal opened before the group.

Hua Wuluo arrived at the secret realm, where the Divine Wood Dao Seed drew him toward it. Although powerful cultivators could not pass through the barrier, Hua Wuluo entered, took the seed, and walked back out, leaving them baffled.

• Hua Wuluo emerged from a spatial portal, and the gathered powerhouses were surprised that he was only at the Divine Tribulation Realm.
• Hua Wuluo felt the Divine Wood Dao Seed pulling him and walked toward the barrier while the powerhouses watched.

• Li Xundao guessed that Hua Wuluo entered because of his talent, and Li Wuxun and the others reacted with surprise.
• Hua Wuluo put away the Divine Wood Dao Seed and walked back outside, while Xuan She and the powerhouses wondered why no one had stopped him.

Hua Wuluo emerged with the Divine Wood Dao Seed as the Ancient Venerable Realm cultivators watched, but Li Xundao let him go after learning he was not yet qualified to join the Primordial Divine Hall.

• A hidden attacker immobilized Hua Wuluo, and Jiang Wuya appeared in front of him, promising to protect him and show how handsome he was.

Jiang Wuya appeared before the Ancient Venerable Realm experts, injured Leng Yu, and killed him for bullying Hua Wuluo. He then tried to recruit Hua Wuluo as his disciple, while the others could only watch in shock.

• Jiang Wuya pulled Leng Yu from the void and severely injured him after accusing him of frightening Hua Wuluo.

• Jiang Wuya killed Leng Yu with a single sentence, leaving the gathered experts stunned and Li Xundao unable to identify his strength.
• Jiang Wuya urged Hua Wuluo to become his disciple, but Hua Wuluo only said he would repay the favor later.

Jiang Wuya tried to persuade Hua Wuluo to become his disciple, offering resources and lifelong protection while agreeing to travel with him. As Hua Wuluo hesitated, he recognized a Heavenly God Tower Guardian among the Ancient Venerable Realm powerhouses.

• Jiang Wuya explained that he wanted Hua Wuluo as a disciple because he admired his talent and wanted the prestige of teaching powerful geniuses.
• Jiang Wuya offered to accompany Hua Wuluo wherever he went and provide cultivation resources and protection.
• Hua Wuluo asked whether Jiang Wuya would truly protect him forever, and Jiang Wuya promised to do so until Hua Wuluo grew stronger than him.

• The Guardian awkwardly acknowledged Hua Wuluo, embarrassed that he had been defeated by him in the Heavenly God Tower.
