Chen Lin fought off Huo Qian when the fire phoenix tried to seize Luo Qinglan’s Vermilion Bird Feather, then discovered her remnant soul still existed within it. He left the chapter badly injured from using his fate ability to protect her fragile soul and began recovering while hoping to bring her back.

• Huo Qian attacked Luo Qinglan’s cocoon, but Nie Cangqiong wounded the fire phoenix and ordered him to leave.
• Luo Qinglan’s cocoon shattered, leaving only the Vermilion Bird Feather; Huo Qian tried to take it, and Chen Lin immobilized and killed him with the Thunder God Sword.
• Nie Cangqiong warned everyone to keep Huo Qian’s death secret, then Chen Lin searched the crater with Mu Xingchen and found nothing.
• Chen Lin and Mu Xingchen examined the feather but could not detect Luo Qinglan, so Chen Lin used the Vermilion Bird Feather with his fate ability and saw her faint remnant soul in the destiny river.
• Chen Lin moved the fate line near Luo Qinglan’s soul, suffered severe backlash, and told Mu Xingchen that her remnant soul was inside the feather before starting to recover.

Thirty years later, Chen Lin remained unable to restore Luo Qinglan’s remnant soul or find Qin Lingyu and the others, but he successfully broke through to spirit transformation. After returning to the Qingyang Sect, he found that his talent ability had not improved and considered the dangers of learning how to extract talent origins before taking out a statue.

• Scholar immobilized the wolf's blade and domain with its brush, then killed the wolf with its flying sword.
• Chen Lin collected the wolf's Remnant Soul, monster cores, and corpse, then ended his tests because Scholar's energy was nearly depleted and a rank six opponent would be too dangerous.

Chen Lin reunited with Zhou Shiwu and met Nan Mochu, who warned him that Qiu Mufan would eventually seek him out. Nan Mochu used Vermilion Bird essence blood to stabilize Luo Qinglan’s fading remnant soul, and Chen Lin urged Zhou Shiwu to attempt Core Formation before he left for the Xuanyue Continent.

• Chen Lin learned that the Liangyi Sect would depart for the Xuanyue Continent in one month and welcomed Zhou Shiwu, who had traveled from Disheng City using Chen Lin’s token.

• Sun Tianfu offered a withered piece of true soul wood for five hundred spirit crystals, claiming it might still contain true soul origin.
• Chen Lin noticed the wood resembled the Black Staff from the Land of Divine Beings and listened as a cultivator asked Sun Tianfu to explain true soul origin.

Chen Lin traveled from Liangyi City to Moon Reflection City for the grand ceremony and was assigned to help receive visitors. His first patrol dispute involved a monk named Nian Kong accusing a young woman of being a fox demon, leaving Chen Lin to judge the conflict.

• Sun Tianfu failed to sell the true soul wood, then auctioned Yuan-Enhancing Pills and a spirit treasure before opening the convention to private trades.

Chen Lin enforced Moon Reflection City's rules after the Old Monk compensated Hu Qingxia, then recognized the black-robed man as the Umbrella-Wielding Manikin who had once pursued him. When Han Qingxue confronted the man, a White-Robed Youth intervened and identified him as a Qiu Clan servant, leaving Chen Lin wary of the Soulless Sect and the Qiu Clan.

• Chen Lin ordered the Old Monk to compensate Hu Qingxia for fighting in the city, and the monk gave her a Calming Bead before leaving.
• Hu Qingxia thanked Chen Lin, discarded the bead, and departed; Chen Lin told his subordinate to hand it over to their superiors.
• Chen Lin stopped a black-robed man, recognized him as the Umbrella-Wielding Manikin, and accused him of carrying a Celestial Demon's aura.
• The black-robed man broke free of Chen Lin's formation restraints with his Black Umbrella, but Han Qingxue seized him after pulling him back from the void.
• A White-Robed Youth intervened and said the black-robed man was a Qiu Clan servant who had left the Sin Army, while the Soulless Sect's secret art kept his demonization under control.

Chen Lin encountered Qiu Musheng of the Soulless Sect and was reassigned to the Teleportation Hall, where he reunited with True Lord Wanmeng. True Lord Wanmeng told him that several Lower Realm cultivators had ascended, but he had no news of Silver Fairy beyond a possible clue about Silver Immortal City.

• Qiu Musheng persuaded Han Qingxue to let his subordinate go, and Han reassigned Chen Lin to the Teleportation Hall.
• Chen Lin waited at the Teleportation Hall for familiar faces until the Myriad Aspects Sect arrived and he recognized True Lord Wanmeng.

Chen Lin discussed the Central Continent and Nightmare Realm exploration with True Lord Wanmeng, then considered relocating to Central City to escape Qiu Musheng and reunite with old companions. After Chen Lin reported his encounter with a skeletal alchemist to Lan Ruxue, she rewarded him with a Godly Profound Fruit and offered to help him refine it.

• True Lord Wanmeng told Chen Lin about the harsh Myriad Star Archipelago, the prosperous but fiercely competitive Central Continent, and the resources he had gained from Nightmare Realm exploration.
• Chen Lin considered joining True Lord Wanmeng in exploring the Nightmare Realm and traveling with Luo Qinglan to Central City, but decided to gather more information before committing.
• Murong Qing summoned Chen Lin to meet Lan Ruxue, who warned him not to return to the Holy Domain after a major upheaval.
• Chen Lin described losing the Boundary-Breaking Disc in the Jingguang Realm and encountering a skeletal old man who captured otherworldly creatures to refine pills.
• Lan Ruxue accepted Chen Lin's detailed records of the Jingguang Realm and rewarded him with an initial-profound Godly Profound Fruit, which he swallowed so she could help refine it.

Chen Lin used the fruit Lan Ruxue gave him to advance from early to mid Spirit Transformation, then learned that Daoist Destiny had warned his fate-altering ability could bring backlash. The next morning, Daoist Destiny had already left, and Murong Qing cautioned Chen Lin to use his talent less as she took him to the ceremony grounds.

• Lan Ruxue guided Chen Lin through refining the fruit’s energy, helping him break through to mid Spirit Transformation and advising him to avoid cultivation pills for a year.
• Murong Qing asked Chen Lin to help at the ceremony the next day after noticing his increased cultivation.

• Chen Lin promised to use his talent ability cautiously, and Murong Qing took him and several disciples to the ceremony grounds.

Chen Lin attended the Moon Reflection Palace’s grand ceremony, where he met White Dove, now a favored descendant of a Great Vehicle practitioner from the Rainbow Realm. As the ceremony ended, Qiu Musheng learned more about Chen Lin’s past and was told not to act rashly against him.

• Chen Lin asked Murong Qing about Qiu Musheng and decided to focus on reaching the Central Continent rather than seek help against him.
• During the three-day ceremony, Chen Lin met Li Chenshui, discussed his promotion to mid Spirit Transformation, and built connections with powerful cultivators.
• On the third day, a Great Vehicle practitioner from the Rainbow Realm arrived, and Lan Ruxue unexpectedly asked Chen Lin to welcome the guests.
• Qiu Musheng told a Great Elder that Chen Lin might be connected to true soul wood and Qiu Daoli, and the Great Elder urged him to hold off because Chen Lin had ties to Lan Ruxue.
• Chen Lin reunited with White Dove, learned she was the Great Vehicle practitioner’s only direct descendant, and heard that her father had died after failing to ascend.
• White Dove invited Chen Lin to visit the Rainbow Continent after the planes fused, while Chen Lin said he would leave Moon Reflection City after the ceremony.

After Lan Ruxue’s discourse on the Dao, Chen Lin prepared to travel to the Central Continent with Holy Monarch Bai Yuandu’s party and arranged for Ling Qianshan to send a coded letter to the Qingyang Sect. Qiu Musheng then confronted him and asked whether he possessed the true soul wood and the Rainbow Fan.

• Lan Ruxue delivered a half-day discourse on the Dao that helped Chen Lin stabilize his cultivation and prompted many cultivators to break through.
• Chen Lin told True Lord Wanmeng he would travel to the Central Continent with the Holy Monarch’s party rather than use the Myriad Aspects Sect’s Teleportation Passage.

• Chen Lin gave Ling Qianshan a coded letter for Mu Xingchen and left without returning to Liangyi City.
• Qiu Musheng stopped Chen Lin, formed a Soundproofing Formation, and asked whether he had the true soul wood and the Rainbow Fan.

He traveled with White Dove and Bai Yuandu to Central City, where he parted from the group and headed to meet True Lord Wanmeng, only to spot the ubiquitous Wuzhen Tower.

• Bai Yuandu met City Lord Wei Duxing, while Chen Lin collected an Identity Token and left the group to seek out True Lord Wanmeng in the Outer City.
• Chen Lin flew to the eastern Outer City and noticed an enormous pleasure ship bearing the name Wuzhen Tower.

Chen Lin reunited with Hundred Flowers Fairy, True Lord Wanmeng, Jin Xingyun, and Dantai Yunjin in Central City, where they caught up at Hundred Flowers Fairy’s residence. He warned Jin Xingyun against entering the Immortal Stele and revealed that bloodline powers and talent abilities were resurrection seeds left by powerful beings.

• Chen Lin greeted his old companions and eased the awkwardness over their differing cultivation levels by asking Jin Xingyun to call him Elder Brother.

• Chen Lin explained that bloodline powers and talent abilities were resurrection seeds left by powerful beings, and Hundred Flowers Fairy confirmed she had heard similar claims.

He learned that Hundred Flowers Fairy feared her past-life memories would erase her identity, gave her a portrait and a lead to investigate, and obtained her spirit wine brewing inheritance.

• Chen Lin told Jin Xingyun that the bloodline drawback was difficult to resolve and discussed the imminent fusion of the Tianxuan Day Plane with the group.
• Jin Xingyun, Shang Xuelian, and Dantai Yunjin learned Chen Lin could refine Ending Hostility Pills for them if they covered the material costs.
• Chen Lin showed Hundred Flowers Fairy a portrait, and she revealed that she suspected she was a reincarnated mighty figure whose memories might overwhelm her when she reached Void Refinement.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy said she could not stop her cultivation from advancing, and she removed her veil briefly to leave a trace of her own identity.
• Chen Lin gave Hundred Flowers Fairy the portrait and the location of the Good Fortune Ruins, and she gave him a Jade Slip containing her spirit wine brewing inheritance and insights.

Chen Lin declined True Lord Wanmeng’s request to explore the Nightmare Realm while he prepared for the dangers of plane fusion. A month later, White Dove announced she was leaving with the Holy Monarch’s group, promised to search for Silver Fairy and the others, and gave Chen Lin a powerful sword talisman for protection.

• True Lord Wanmeng warned Chen Lin that plane fusion might be dangerous and proposed exploring a Nightmare Realm scenario with multiple nodes, but Chen Lin postponed the expedition.
• Chen Lin suspected True Lord Wanmeng might want his Level Two Road Guide and returned to the Inner City, where he rented an immortal cave and began studying Hundred Flowers Fairy’s wine-brewing inheritance.
• Chen Lin hoped to brew Drunken God Brew as preparation for plane fusion, despite knowing he was unlikely to reach the Void Refinement Realm in time.
• White Dove visited Chen Lin and said she was leaving with the Ancestor and others to inspect formations on other continents before returning to the Rainbow Continent.
• Chen Lin asked White Dove to watch for information about Silver Fairy and the others, and she agreed.
• White Dove gave Chen Lin a sword talisman from City Lord Wei that could unleash an attack equivalent to a Ninth Layer Dao Rhyme expert, and Chen Lin accepted it.

After three years of secluded cultivation in Central City, Chen Lin opened his primordial spirit domain and strengthened his Thunder God Sword. He prepared Drunken God Brew and, back in the Nightmare Realm, considered another trip to Wanhuagu Valley to find a servant before summoning Grass.

• Chen Lin hired cultivators to gather information about Silver Island, gave Ending Hostility Pills to Jin Xingyun and his companions, and began secluded cultivation.
• After three years, Chen Lin opened a primordial spirit domain containing his innate divine ability and Five Thunders Smite the Crown.
• Chen Lin used the Thunder God Sword to erode the mark on the Celestial Ring and studied the recipe for Drunken God Brew.
• Chen Lin brewed Drunken God Brew and placed it in a Fermentation Vessel within a formation to ferment.
• In the Nightmare Realm, Chen Lin learned that Grass and Fat Tiger had found nothing, then considered fishing for another servant in Wanhuagu Valley.
• Chen Lin summoned Grass to his side.

Chen Lin returned to Wanhuagu Valley to fish for Grass’s powerful Tri-Color Flower sister, using his destiny ability to improve his chances. Despite the doubled fee and penalty, he successfully pulled up the flower.

• Grass suggested that Chen Lin seek out a powerful Tri-Color Flower sister who wanted to leave the valley and might cooperate with his fishing.
• Chen Lin used his destiny ability and a fate tentacle to close the gap in his predicted fate line, then brought Grass with him.
• The Gaudily Dressed Woman revealed that the second visit cost twenty Nightmare Coins and failure carried a two-hundred-coin penalty, which Chen Lin accepted.
• At the fishing platform, Grass sensed her sister by her threefold fragrance, and Chen Lin cast his rod toward it.
• Chen Lin hauled up an exquisitely beautiful Tri-Color Flower.

Chen Lin fished Hua Ruyu out of Wanhuagu Valley and learned she was a powerful being equivalent to a late Dao Integration Realm cultivator. The Cat-headed Monster offered to help him reach the plane where his wife and daughter were, leaving him with a new lead and a request to fish up another treasure chest.

• Chen Lin named the woman he fished out Hua Ruyu, and Grass welcomed her back.
• Hua Ruyu knocked Fat Tiger down after he behaved improperly, then Fat Tiger's spiritual intelligence seemed to weaken.
• The Cat-headed Monster arrived, recognized Hua Ruyu as Lady Monalisa, and revealed she was equivalent to a late Dao Integration Realm powerhouse.
• The Cat-headed Monster agreed to take Chen Lin to the Pool Scenario if he gave Lady Monalisa a Red Gemstone should she recover her memories.
• The Cat-headed Monster gave Chen Lin a whisker to summon her when he found a scenario he could enter physically, then asked him to help fish up another treasure chest.

Chen Lin investigated Silver Island while adapting to life with Hua Ruyu and cultivating in Central City. He learned that Silver Island’s ruler had a spatially gifted rooster spirit beast, but worsening instability at sea halted further inquiries, while Chen Lin continued searching for ways to use his soul treasures.

• Chen Lin returned from the Nightmare Realm with Hua Ruyu, tested her abilities, and arranged concealed clothing for her.
• After a year, Chen Lin received information that Silver Island’s Early Spirit Transformation Island Master relied on a powerful rooster-like spatial spirit beast, which might be Chen Bao.
• Chen Lin decided not to investigate Silver Island personally and sent word for Mu Xingchen to bring Luo Qinglan to Central City when possible.
• Chen Lin cultivated with several powerful pills for two years, but reports showed that unstable space around the Myriad Star Archipelago made travel there too dangerous.
• Chen Lin visited the All Things Pavilion seeking soul-related texts and continued discreetly searching for instructions on using his true soul wood and true soul flower.

Chen Lin learned that the Hundred Flowers Fairy was suddenly compelled to attempt Ascension to Void Refinement after absorbing energy from a portrait. She asked him to safeguard a Jade Box in case the tribulation changed her, and the group set out for the tribulation platform.

• Chen Lin accepted an invitation to a trading convention and learned that Hua Ruyu still lacked the energy she needed to strengthen her cultivation.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy summoned Chen Lin to witness her tribulation, and Jin Xingyun confirmed she had just emerged from secluded cultivation.
• Chen Lin met True Lord Wanmeng, congratulated him on reaching mid Spirit Transformation, and again delayed their planned exploration of a node.
• At the Hundred Flowers Fairy's residence, Chen Lin found Jin Xingyun, Dantai Yunjin, and Shang Xuelian waiting and comforted Shang Xuelian after her failed breakthrough.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy explained that energy absorbed from a portrait had triggered her opportunity to ascend, gave Chen Lin a Jade Box to hold, and asked the others to guard her at the tribulation platform.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy survived the seven bolts of her Void Refinement tribulation, but remained trapped in the inner demon tribulation. When Chen Lin approached to help, a mighty figure appeared to have seized her body and noticed his unusual talent.

• The Hundred Flowers Fairy prepared the Ten Directions Tribulation-Wipe Formation and asked Chen Lin to look after Shang Xuelian if she failed to survive.
• A powerful cultivator arrived to protect the Hundred Flowers Fairy under an agreement, and she began her tribulation as spectators gathered.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy endured the first five lightning bolts without moving, then overcame the Three-Color and Five-Color Tribulation Lightning with her techniques and formation.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy remained motionless for nearly half an hour during her inner demon tribulation, so Chen Lin decided to approach and investigate.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy opened her eyes, declared that she and the mighty figure were one, and turned to Chen Lin after recognizing him as a talent holder without a mark.

Chen Lin escaped the Hundred Flowers Fairy by entering a Nightmare Realm Node after tricking her with the Thunder God Sword. The Fairy weakened herself to suppress the tribulation clouds, then fled as Central City's experts approached.

• The Hundred Flowers Fairy’s presence caused the tribulation clouds to gather again, and Chen Lin fled the city with a Myriad-Mile Instantaneous Talisman.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy caught up with Chen Lin in a distant valley and questioned him about escaping her mark and possessing innate power.
• Chen Lin showed her the Thunder God Sword, then used its lightning to break free and raced into the Nightmare Realm Node.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy tried to pull Chen Lin out of the node with her White Flower, but the flower’s central petal split and its vortex collapsed.
• The tribulation clouds gathered again, so the Hundred Flowers Fairy merged the flower’s petals into herself until her aura fell to that of an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator.
• As figures approached from the distance, the Hundred Flowers Fairy merged into the void and fled.

Chen Lin entered a dangerous Nightmare Realm scenario and discovered that the Hundred Flowers Fairy had left a split soul inside a petal, which asked him to take it to another plane. As Chen Lin searched for a connecting node, someone opened one from outside and slipped through.

• Chen Lin found that the scenario's dense nightmare qi rapidly threatened to transform him, though the Thunder God Sword and Grass protected him.
• Chen Lin opened the Jade Box and met the Hundred Flowers Fairy's split soul, who explained that she needed to leave the plane to evade the reincarnated mighty figure pursuing her.
• The Hundred Flowers Fairy said the loss of her intent would weaken the Faceless Flower and force her pursuer to suppress her cultivation, but Chen Lin still judged her too dangerous to confront.
• Chen Lin and the Hundred Flowers Fairy agreed to search for a node leading to another plane, and Chen Lin began exploring with a spatial Sense Talisman.
• Grass spotted ripples on a tall tree, and Chen Lin realized someone had opened the node from outside just as a shadow slipped through.

Chen Lin questioned Gou Yushan, a traveler from the Spirit Demon Realm, and learned about his plane and pursuer. When Gou tried to leave through the node, it rejected him, leaving Chen Lin to suspect the scenario’s rules had sealed their way out.

• Chen Lin and his companions confronted a short, spear-wielding humanoid who identified himself as Gou Yushan from Peach Blossom Island in the Spirit Demon Realm.
• Gou used a bone shard to resist the nightmare qi, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy confirmed his honesty after his spell was destroyed by the realm.
• Chen Lin learned that the Spirit Demon Realm had both spirits and demons, that its strongest beings were Rank Seven, and that Gou had fled a formidable enemy.
• Gou offered Chen Lin a seventh-grade Spirit Treasure for the location of another node, while Chen Lin instead requested information about Gou’s plane, surroundings, and enemy.
• When the nightmare qi began overwhelming Gou, Chen Lin warned him that their own powerful enemy might still be outside, but Gou attempted to leave anyway.
• The node repelled Gou, Chen Lin’s Crow Puppet, and Chen Lin’s hand, leading Chen Lin to suspect they could not leave until they fulfilled the scenario’s conditions.
