Jinyao revealed that the Immortal Palace might offer a way out of the realm and warned that an imprisoned evil demon could escape, leaving Chen Lin intent on learning more.

• Chen Lin and Grass explored Yinguang City, but Chen Lin found little mithril or high-grade resources and no clues about the stone tablet pattern or giant sword image.

He then brought Grass back to the Reality Realm and headed for the Immortal Palace above the Soul-Severing Sea, where a stranger invited him to travel together.

• Chen Lin told Xiong Ziqi he would keep his request in mind but warned that Gege Yun might not return, while Xiong Ziqi said he would keep searching for her and asked Chen Lin’s people to meet him if he came to Taiqing Mountain.
• Chen Lin told Hua Ruyu he suspected the mission clue lay in the Dilapidated Courtyard, where Li Fuyao was hiding, though he had no evidence.
• Chen Lin, Hua Ruyu, and Grass reached Taiqing Mountain, where Chen Ling'er welcomed Chen Lin and greeted the newly awakened Grass.

• Chen Lin and Grass accepted Yuan Kaijiang's invitation to travel with his group, which grew to ten Spirit Transformation cultivators on the way to the Golden Palace.

• Grass unleashed a streak of sword light at Yuan Kaijiang.

Madam Miaoyin explained that the enormous treasure they were assembling was a top-grade Spirit-Condensing Grade spirit treasure capable of unleashing an attack comparable to a True Spirit Tier treasure.

• Madam Miaoyin selected Chen Lin, Grass, Xin Shangxiu, Ye Hongdao, and other Void Refinement cultivators to approach the Immortal Palace’s barrier.
• Chen Lin used the Blade of Destiny’s Dao Rhyme to overcome the oppressive energy, then withdrew it to conceal his mastery of a Dao Art; he also noticed Grass could move through the pressure with little difficulty.

• Madam Miaoyin summoned Chen Lin and Grass to a huge floating object and urged them to help activate it.
• Madam Miaoyin told Chen Lin that the object was a Tiangong Sect top-grade Spirit-Condensing Grade spirit treasure that could release an attack on the level of a True Spirit Tier treasure.

Chen Lin and four cultivators used the Heaven-Opening Bow to attack the Immortal Palace’s barrier, while Chen Lin considered the dangers and possible treasures inside. After repeated strikes, the barrier cracked and collapsed.

• Chen Lin learned that the Heaven-Opening Bow required five different types of energy, and he, Grass, and three other cultivators powered it.
• The Heaven-Opening Bow formed a Five-Colored Arrow and struck the barrier, briefly leaving a black spot before the barrier recovered.
• Madam Miaoyin gave Chen Lin and the others recovery pills, and Chen Lin took Grass aside to rest while later groups continued firing.
• A subsequent arrow made the barrier shake violently, sending out energy that killed nearby lower-level cultivators.
• Chen Lin watched another Five-Colored Arrow strike the weakened barrier, which cracked apart and collapsed.

After the Immortal Palace barrier vanished, Chen Lin entered the palace and chose a soul trial gate, only to find himself aboard a mysterious boat in a realm of black mist. The boat began to sail with him and many other cultivators aboard, leaving the trial’s nature unknown.

• The Heaven-Opening Bow’s breach caused the palace barrier to collapse, and cultivators rushed inside as Chen Lin sent a Crow Puppet ahead to scout.
• Lu Xiaoyi recognized Chen Lin as her Fifth Brother through her keen perception of souls, then separated from him; Chen Lin also spotted Dong Yunqiu racing into the palace with the Spirit Demon Ancestor and another disciple.
• Chen Lin and Grass entered the Spiritual Herb Garden route, then reached three trial gates and chose the black gate, which tested the soul.
• Chen Lin appeared on a black boat surrounded by soul-damaging mist, ordered Grass into his Space Bag, and watched other cultivators appear aboard.
• A strange voice declared that the boat had enough people, and it shuddered before setting sail.

Chen Lin rode a ship through corrosive black mist with cultivators who had all entered through a Black Light Gate, and he suspected the voyage was a soul-based trial. As more passengers were swept away, he took Zhao Mengru under his protection and the survivors focused on the Snake-Bodied Woman at the bow.

• Chen Lin learned that cultivators who entered through different Golden Gates had all boarded the ship by choosing a Black Light Gate, leading him to suspect they were undergoing a trial.
• Several cultivators, including a Spirit Transformation Cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator, were swept off the ship into the black mist as its corrosive effect on their souls intensified.
• Chen Lin discovered that Zhao Mengru was a Qi Condensation cultivator with unusually strong soul power, and he agreed to let her stay beside him.
• Zhao Mengru thanked Chen Lin aloud, drawing the passengers’ attention, while more cultivators—including a Void Refinement Cultivator—were swept away.
• After checking that Grass could endure the mist, Chen Lin and the other survivors focused on the Snake-Bodied Woman and considered striking first.

Chen Lin and the other survivors endured the deadly voyage through the black mist and reached a city inside the Immortal Palace. They discovered that the city suppressed most powers and stranded their Nightmare Realm connections, leaving them to face its dangers with limited abilities.

• A Spirit Transformation cultivator attacked the Snake-Bodied Woman, but his strike passed through her, and she killed him with a glance.
• As the ship sped through the black mist, the Spirit Demon Ancestor urged the survivors to attack together, but Chen Lin exposed his reluctance to lead the assault and no one attacked.
• The Snake-Bodied Woman announced their arrival, and the survivors received identity tokens before disembarking inside a magnificent city.
• Chen Lin discovered that the city suppressed his mana and prevented access to the Nightmare Realm, though his soul force and talent origin remained usable.
• More than twenty ships delivered around a hundred survivors to the city, and the gates closed after the ships stopped arriving.

Chen Lin received an unusually powerful Source Soul Infusion that broke his soul bottleneck and advanced him to the fourth rank. He entered the great hall and took the prominent first seat, where the other cultivators’ assigned seating revealed striking differences in their souls.

• Chen Lin realized the city had gathered cultivators who chose the Black Light Gate, then learned they would receive a Source Soul Infusion at the Ascension Platform.
• The infusion transformed Chen Lin’s three-colored soul and formed a gray-white orb, advancing him from the third-rank peak to the fourth rank.
• A Golden-Armored Guard validated Chen Lin’s token and directed him into the hall, where his token assigned him the first seat.
• Grass and Zhao Mengru entered and took their assigned seats after Chen Lin warned them not to approach him.
• Spirit Demon Ancestor received a seat near the back, while Dong Yunqiu received one in the front row, exposing their differing soul qualities.
