• Several months later, Chen Lin joined Long Jianwu and four other practitioners for an expedition into the Earth Abyss.
• When Long Jianwu learned that a large law patch shift was underway, he led the six practitioners into the fissure to search for treasures.

Chen Lin descended into the Earth Abyss with Long Jianwu’s group, where a strange creature emerged and attacked the treasure hunters. Chen Lin rescued Mo Zhen, captured the creature, and used the Six Mysteries Sect’s name to deter Ba Yiqing, leaving the group still deep within the Rift.

• Chen Lin descended with the others and learned that the deeper levels of the Earth Abyss held greater risks and potential treasures.

• Two law patches collided and collapsed, scattering streaks of light, and Chen Lin and the other cultivators rushed toward them to collect the unknown contents.

Chen Lin joined Long Jianwu, Jun Li, and Zhe Ziyan in searching the Earth Abyss for a rumored Seven-Color Patch containing innate spiritual entities.

• Chen Lin collected treasures from bright streaks of light, then learned that Yue Beichuan and Wang Zhengshan had perished.

• The group passed through the Vacuum Zone, where Chen Lin discovered that soul power could expel the mysterious energy invading his body.
• A mantis-like creature appeared and made Jun Li vanish, but Chen Lin struck it with Soul-Destroying Finger and killed it, leaving behind a Black Sphere.

Chen Lin obtained a Dragon Clan inheritance from Long Jianwu’s Inheritance Bead and learned that his lineage believed him to be their ancestor. He erased Long Jianwu’s memories, left him with Earth Abyss treasures, and returned to the dangerous region to guard against the Long Family Ancestor’s possible reincarnation.

• Chen Lin took the Bizarre Heart left by the mantis and learned its uses from Long Jianjiu, while Zhe Ziyan chose to leave the Earth Abyss.
• Chen Lin recognized Long Jianwu’s Dragon Tooth and asked him for information about the Dragon Race, so Long Jianwu gave him the Inheritance Bead passed down by his lineage.

• Chen Lin told Long Jianwu that he was not the Long Family Ancestor, then stunned him and carried him out of the mysterious-energy region.
• Long Jianwu woke with his memories erased and a new Storage Bracelet containing Earth Abyss treasures, noticed the Inheritance Bead was gone, and flew away.
• Chen Lin watched Long Jianwu leave, reflected that he had spared him to preserve his Dao Heart and guard against the Long Family Ancestor’s possible reincarnation, then returned to the region of law patches.

Chen Lin was ambushed by five cultivators but killed them with his lightning and soul-based techniques. Exhausted afterward, he faced Xiao Buyi of the Six Mysteries Sect and invoked Liu Rumian’s name to buy time.

• Chen Lin explored law patches in search of an innate spiritual entity, then was ambushed by five cultivators led by a towering man and a Hemp-Clad Saber Cultivator.
• Chen Lin used the Seven-Color Disc and Heavenly Soul Bell to expose the attackers, then killed the towering man by swallowing his soul with the Soul-Eater Bell.

• Xiao Buyi appeared with a maidservant and identified himself as a fellow Six Mysteries Sect disciple; Chen Lin, exhausted, produced Liu Rumian’s Round Token and spoke Liu Rumian’s name.

Chen Lin followed Xiao Buyi to a remote seven-colored law patch in the Earth Abyss, hoping to find an innate spiritual entity. After discovering that the Six Mysteries Sect and other major sects had already sent people inside, Chen Lin entered through a gap in the barrier despite the Sword-Eyed Man’s warning.

• The Sword-Eyed Man opened a gap in the barrier for Xiao Buyi, and Chen Lin followed him inside despite being advised to stay out.

Chen Lin entered a vast green-water space that might be the Green Petal of the Seven Realms Flower, where Seven-Color Light Rays snatched up cultivators. He avoided being captured and continued exploring, then ignored a woman's plea for help as she turned to confront the ray herself.

• Chen Lin met a pale-green-skinned woman in the water, who told him the space might be a petal of the Seven Realms Flower and that escape required reaching its Central Area.
• A Seven-Color Light Ray recoiled from Chen Lin's Innate Thunderbolt and seized the woman, while a childish voice above called her a fish and a mermaid.
• Chen Lin swam away, saw more cultivators hauled upward, and searched the vast water before abandoning his attempt to dive deeper into its cold depths.
• When another woman cried for help as a Seven-Color Light Ray pursued her, Chen Lin refused to intervene and swam away.
• The woman stopped trying to flee and thrust a finger toward the Seven-Color Light Ray.

Chen Lin rescued Mu Qingchen from a Seven-Color Light Ray and learned that she was Mu Linglong’s daughter, while her mother and the Silver Fairy had gone missing in a Secret Realm. After searching the Water Domain for an exit, Chen Lin sent Mu Qingchen into a Life Bag and began swimming toward the surface, where he finally glimpsed indistinct shapes above him.

• Chen Lin used Lightning Rays to drive off the Seven-Color Light Ray and rescued the masked woman, who revealed herself as Mu Qingchen.
• Chen Lin learned that Mu Qingchen was Mu Linglong’s daughter and that Mu Linglong had gone to explore a Secret Realm with a woman called Yun, a Prison-Suppressing Envoy.
• Chen Lin concluded that the woman was the Silver Fairy and learned that Mu Linglong had reached the ninth layer of Dao Rhyme while her companion seemed to have Mahayana cultivation.
• Chen Lin searched the Water Domain for another exit, then put Mu Qingchen in a Life Bag and started swimming upward.
• After ascending for half an hour, Chen Lin noticed brightness and indistinct objects above him.

Chen Lin reached the floating Netherworld Island and learned that soul fog brought dangerous bizarre creatures. When a Big-Headed Boy attacked him underwater with a Seven-Color Light Ray, Chen Lin destroyed it with Soul-Destroying Finger.

• Chen Lin spotted Xiao Buyi and Zhuo near a boat, then followed them toward the hazy object that proved to be an island.
• Chen Lin circled underwater and confirmed that the island floated, while the water beneath it radiated a dangerous energy.
• A passing man warned Chen Lin that soul fog was about to rise and that only disciples of the Seven Major Sects had much chance of surviving near Netherworld Island.
• Chen Lin retreated to his hiding place as mist covered the water, and a Big-Headed Boy arrived in a boat to search for the person who had broken Little Seven's fishing line.
• The Big-Headed Boy fired a Seven-Color Light Ray at Chen Lin, who countered with Soul-Destroying Finger and destroyed the attack.

Chen Lin defeated the Big-Headed Boy with the Soul-Destroying Finger and traded the Flower Bud to Ming Du for a Silver-Ringed True Soul Fruit and information. Ming Du explained the Earth Abyss, the Seven Realms Flower, the Core Region, and the Minor True Realm, and Chen Lin ended by asking for details about the sect disciples and treasures.

• Chen Lin used Five Thunders Smite the Crown and the Soul-Destroying Finger to kill the Big-Headed Boy, then took his Flower Bud.
• Ming Du introduced himself as an Eight-Sides Tower disciple and offered a Silver-Ringed True Soul Fruit for the Flower Bud.
• Ming Du explained that the Earth Abyss contained a Phantom Image of the Seven Realms Flower, whose petals formed separate spaces and whose passages required the Main Artifact Spirit's approval or seven Flower Buds.
• Ming Du identified Chen Lin as a Stowaway from the Lower Primal Domain and described how cultivators could enter the Minor True Realm by cultivating Body, Soul, and Intent together.
• Chen Lin agreed to trade the Flower Bud for the True Soul Fruit and asked Ming Du about the sects' goals, local treasures and creatures, and the Minor True Realm disciples who had entered.

Chen Lin learned how the Seven-Colored Flowers formed and traded a flower bud to Ming Du for a True Soul Fruit and information about the Seven Major Sects. He hunted bizarre creatures for more buds, then secretly watched Zhuo Shengkong battle a powerful double-headed baby until Zhuo called out to him for help.

• Ming Du explained that seven different flower buds formed a Seven-Colored Flower and that the Core Region held innate origin and other treasures; he then shared information about cultivators who might have entered the mirage.
• Chen Lin exchanged a flower bud with Ming Du for a True Soul Fruit, then hunted bizarre creatures along the water's outskirts instead of visiting the dangerous island.
• Chen Lin killed a red-bellyband doll with his Soul-Destroying Finger and took its flower bud, but after two days of hunting he had collected only five different kinds.
• Chen Lin headed toward the island and sensed a battle, then spotted Zhuo Shengkong fighting a two-headed baby in the dense soul fog.
• Zhuo Shengkong fell under pressure from the two-headed baby's Seven-Color Light Rays and called out to Chen Lin, offering the other six kinds of flower buds if he helped kill it.

Chen Lin fought the Double-Headed Baby alongside Zhuo Shengkong, who joined only after Chen Lin called him out. When the creature nearly killed Chen Lin, Zhuo Shengkong fled, and Chen Lin defeated it before losing consciousness and releasing Mu Qingchen from the Life Bag.

• The Double-Headed Baby attacked Chen Lin with a red crescent blade, and Chen Lin fought back with lightning, the Golden Large Bell, the Seven-Color Disc, and his Soul-Destroying Finger.
• Chen Lin called on Zhuo Shengkong to help, and Zhuo Shengkong used a White Jade Little Bird to pierce the creature's Seven-Colored Mirage Light.
• Chen Lin shattered the Double-Headed Baby's Taiji Diagram with repeated Soul-Destroying Finger strikes, but the creature merged its heads and launched a frenzied attack.
• Zhuo Shengkong recalled the White Jade Little Bird and fled as the Double-Headed Baby charged Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin grabbed the creature and plunged into the water, using the Innate Thunderbolt and repeated Soul-Destroying Finger attacks until it vanished; Chen Lin then lost consciousness after releasing Mu Qingchen from the Life Bag.
• Zhuo Shengkong searched the water for Chen Lin and the creature, found neither, and flew toward the island.

Chen Lin escaped Zhuo Shengkong with Mu Qingchen’s teleportation treasure, then fought his way to the island while searching for the final kind of bizarre creature. He found only Double-Headed Babies and continued sweeping the island for the missing Three-Eyed flower as the Seven Realms Flower’s phantom began to fade.

• Mu Qingchen used a one-use treasure from the Silver Fairy to teleport herself and Chen Lin a hundred li away from Zhuo Shengkong, and Chen Lin began recovering from his injuries.
• After two days, Chen Lin fought and killed two Double-Headed Babies in succession by enduring their attacks and striking them underwater with the Soul-Destroying Finger.
• Chen Lin reached the island and searched its mountains, finding no cultivators or bizarre creatures at first.
• Chen Lin used lightning to flush a hidden Double-Headed Baby from a mountain fissure, killed it, and found that it yielded another Double-Headed Baby flower rather than the Three-Eyed flower he needed.
• Chen Lin blasted the fissure and continued sweeping the island, still searching for the missing flower.

Chen Lin learned that the bizarre creatures needed to enter the Core Region were unusually scarce and that the remaining cultivators had gathered at the Naihe Bridge beneath the island. Hoping to obtain a three-eyed flower from Zhuo Shengkong, Chen Lin followed Xiao Buyi and the White-Haired Man toward the dangerous seabed.

• Chen Lin met Xiao Buyi and the White-Haired Man, who became suspicious after Xiao Buyi described Chen Lin as Liu Rumian's man.
• Xiao Buyi told Chen Lin that double-headed babies and three-eyed creatures were scarce, and that cultivators were seeking a route to the Netherworld through the Naihe Bridge.
• Xiao Buyi warned Chen Lin that dense Netherworld aura surrounded the seabed bridge and asked whether he had encountered a three-eyed creature.
• Chen Lin told Xiao Buyi that Zhuo Shengkong had claimed to possess every flower except the Double-Headed Baby Flower, and Xiao Buyi suspected Zhuo Shengkong might have a three-eyed flower.
• Xiao Buyi and the White-Haired Man headed for the Naihe Bridge to check on Zhuo Shengkong, and Chen Lin followed despite the danger.

Chen Lin discovered that the purple energy from his Purple Soul Ring could repel the Netherworld’s yin cold qi, allowing him to reach the seabed and the Naihe Bridge. There he confronted Zhuo Shengkong over his broken promise, and Zhuo demanded a Double-Headed Baby Flower in exchange for what Chen wanted.

• Chen Lin found that releasing the Purple Soul Ring’s energy drove away the yin cold qi and let him descend safely to the seabed.
• Chen Lin reached an open area beneath the sea and saw the Naihe Bridge, Meng Po, and nearly twenty powerful cultivators, including Xiao Buyi, Zhuo Shengkong, and Ming Du.
• Chen Lin publicly accused Zhuo Shengkong of abandoning him after using him to hunt a Double-Headed Baby, drawing the attention of the other cultivators.
• Zhuo Shengkong considered killing Chen Lin, but Xiao Buyi stepped in to defend him and Bai Xuanze joined Xiao Buyi’s side.
• Zhuo Shengkong admitted he had promised Chen Lin a reward but said the promise depended on obtaining a Double-Headed Baby Flower, then demanded that Chen trade him one.
