• Chen Lin recognized the bottles at a stall as Four-Star Luo origin essence and bought all seven for ninety Carefree Coins each after negotiating a small discount.

• Mo Lin said his plane had found clues to a multicolored Gate of Reality leading to the Upper Primal Domain, leaving Chen Lin to conclude that his underwater Light Gate was not that passage.

Chen Lin learned that he needed true origin and a usable Gate of Reality to escape the Lower Primal Domain before Voidification, then searched an exchange space for supplies and information about the Nightmare Realm.

The Immortal Lord connected a Traveling Merchant’s warning to the sword’s possible awakening, then revealed he had stopped Chen Lin because he needed a pill once owned by Xie Jinyuan.

The Immortal pointed him toward the Good Fortune Immortal Lord’s secret method, and Chen Lin left to seek Huangfu Qingrou and visit the Exchange Office.

• Chen Lin gave the man in blue the unusual blue pill from Xie Jinyuan’s Storage Ring, and the man agreed to repay him with information.
• The man in blue explained that endless water came from the river of time and that River of Forgetfulness water was in the Seventh Layer of the Netherworld in the Upper Primal Domain.
• The man described Fake and True Ascension Pills, warning that the method of substituting living beings for the original materials had become an evil practice.

• The man in blue warned Chen Lin that the Good Fortune Immortal Lord was greedy and dangerous, then vanished; Chen Lin found Huangfu Qingrou, explained what had happened, and went to the Exchange Office.

Chen Lin appraised and sold several treasures and cultivation manuals to raise Carefree Coins, then entered the Carefree Assembly auction with Huangfu Qingrou. After learning the assembly occupied a powerful spatial treasure and testing how the private Auction Array worked, he settled in to wait for the auction to begin.

• Chen Lin had three ordinary Immortal Artifacts and two weakened varieties of pills appraised and sealed for auction, but kept his immortal spirit stones after learning they were worth only one hundred Carefree Coins each.
• Chen Lin sold several cultivation manuals, including Xiong Ziqi’s false Dao integration method, and earned more than thirty thousand Carefree Coins.

• Chen Lin activated and deactivated the Auction Array, discovering that it isolated participants inside illusory private boxes, then brewed tea with Huangfu Qingrou while they waited for the auction.

At the Carefree Assembly, Chen Lin learned the auction rules and watched the first treasures go on sale. He discovered the Thunder Emperor Stone could greatly sharpen his perception of lightning rules, but its owner demanded a lightning-attribute Pseudo-Source Treasure or an equivalent Rule Secret Art, leaving Chen Lin unsure how he could obtain it.

• Yu Qinyao welcomed the participants, explained the auction rules, and announced ten supreme treasures as the assembly’s finale items.
• Chen Lin discussed the long cultivation path with Huangfu Qingrou and agreed that pursuing it with a clear conscience was enough.
• Yu Qinyao auctioned the Illusion Flame Hook, which sold for one hundred thousand Carefree Coins.
• A Winged Man displayed the Thunder Emperor Stone, and Chen Lin found that its fluctuations more than doubled his perception of lightning-attribute rules.
• The Winged Man demanded a lightning-attribute Pseudo-Source Treasure or an equivalent Rule Secret Art for the Thunder Emperor Stone, while Chen Lin concluded he could not part with the items he had that met the requirement.

Chen Lin failed to barter for the Thunder Emperor Stone, then discovered the Myriad Wonders Flute’s powerful illusion and rule-based abilities at the auction. Believing it could protect Huangfu Qingrou, he offered several treasures, a Level 3 Road Guide, and Nightmare Coins to qualify for a trade.

• Chen Lin offered the Winged Man part of the Thunder Dragon Technique, but the man rejected it because it could not be activated with lightning attribute rule force, and their trade failed.
• A one-eyed old man brought out a verdant flute, whose music trapped Chen Lin and Huangfu Qingrou in visions drawn from their pasts before they both awoke.
• The auctioneer identified the treasure as the Myriad Wonders Flute, a superior Pseudo-Source Treasure that could unleash different powers through musical scores corresponding to a user's rule force.
• Chen Lin asked the attendant to submit his listed items, a Level 3 Road Guide, and an unrestricted amount of Nightmare Coins as possible payment for the flute.
• Huangfu Qingrou told Chen Lin she did not need the flute, but Chen Lin insisted that its power could help protect her if danger came.

Chen Lin obtained the Myriad Wonders Flute for Huangfu Qingrou, who began studying the three musical scores recorded in its Inheritance Bead. The auction then revealed a Destiny-Knowing Insect, while Chief Guyuan and his companions used an earlier auction item to try to identify someone in the hall.

• Chen Lin agreed to pay five thousand Nightmare Coins for the Myriad Wonders Flute and received it along with an Inheritance Bead.
• Chen Lin gave the flute and bead to Huangfu Qingrou, who activated the bead and began studying its three profound musical scores.
• Chief Guyuan told two powerful men that Master Wuwang's divination had led him to seek someone at the auction, then offered a patterned bottle to help verify the person's presence.
• After several more trades succeeded, the auctioneer presented a patterned bottle containing a Destiny-Knowing Insect that could release destiny force and alter destiny.

Chen Lin declined to bid on the Destiny-Knowing Insect despite its powerful fate-altering abilities, wary that its appearance was suspiciously convenient for him. After the insect was traded, he arranged for the auctioneer to offer one of his immortal artifacts anonymously.

• Chen Lin sensed a faint fluctuation in his talent origin when the auctioneer revealed the Destiny-Knowing Insect, but concealed his reaction from Huangfu Qingrou.
• The auctioneer explained that the insect could alter destiny, avert certain death, and help make the impossible possible by producing fate threads.
• Chen Lin suppressed his desire to bid, and another participant won the insect after fierce competition.
• A golden-eyed man gave Patriarch Guyuan information about the five final bidders, while warning him about three dangerous contenders.
• A single-horned man told the golden-eyed man that his grandson had stolen a valuable treasure and hidden in the Nightmare Realm before dying.
• Chen Lin declined to conduct his trade in person and asked the auctioneer to offer one of his immortal artifacts according to his submitted terms.

Chen Lin sold an Immortal Sword for Carefree Coins after failing to find anyone able to trade for his requested treasures. He then tried to negotiate for a young alien woman's high-purity time sand, but she insisted on rare time-related payment, leaving the deal unresolved.

• The auctioneer demonstrated the Immortal Sword and announced Chen Lin's requested trade items, but no suitable offers came in.
• Chen Lin agreed to sell the Immortal Sword for at least two hundred thousand Carefree Coins, and it ultimately sold for four hundred and twenty thousand.
• Chen Lin considered using Carefree Coins to restore the Dark Red Spearhead, but recognized that he still needed a skilled Artifact Refiner and might lack time before the assembly ended.
• A young alien woman offered high-purity time sand from an Imperial Time Snail in exchange for a Time-Type Pseudo-Source Treasure.
• Chen Lin asked whether the woman would accept other terms, but she said she would also take time-talent origin essence or a pure Origin Orb, which Chen Lin could not spare.

Chen Lin traded information about Ximen Wuxue for an entire bottle of time sand, then sold two immortal artifacts and continued attending the Carefree Assembly. The second day's auction began under Huang Li, a powerful Dispersed Immortal, while Chen Lin postponed seeking the Good Fortune Immortal Lord's help.

• Chen Lin told a time-talent holder that he knew Ximen Wuxue and negotiated to trade her information and a Location Bead for all of the woman's time sand.
• Chen Lin and the woman signed a No-Lie Contract, then exchanged the time sand for a Jade Slip and Location Bead containing information about Ximen Wuxue.
• Chen Lin's other two immortal artifacts sold for nine hundred thousand Carefree Coins, bringing his total above thirteen hundred thousand.
• Chen Lin inspected a grain of time sand and planned to test whether he could use it after returning home.
• After a day of trading and a short break, Huang Li began the second day's auction, and Chen Lin decided not to seek the Good Fortune Immortal Lord's help yet.

Chen Lin and Huangfu Qingrou watched the auction’s treasures before the Carefree Assembly announced a dangerous expedition through a Gate of Reality, offering Rule Transformation Beads to help participants survive in the Upper Primal Domain. Chen Lin chose not to bid, but learned that the expedition’s mysterious Light Envoy had a reputation for successful missions, leaving him and Huangfu Qingrou uncertain about the opportunity.

• The Red-Clad Woman auctioned a Reincarnation Stone that could preserve memories through reincarnation, and Chen Lin discussed its possible use to resolve the hidden danger in his body with Huangfu Qingrou.
• A majestic man appeared onstage, explained that he had been contaminated while exploring a Gate of Reality, and announced an expedition to a supposedly orderly True Realm in the Upper Primal Domain.
• The man offered one hundred exploration slots and promised successful bidders Rule Transformation Beads that would protect them from the Upper Primal Domain’s reality force for three years.
• Chen Lin decided not to bid despite wanting the beads for his family, and an attendant told him that the man was the Light Envoy, renowned for missions that brought benefits and rarely failed.
• Chen Lin and Huangfu Qingrou questioned why cultivators were bidding so eagerly, while more than five hundred people had already entered bids.

Chen Lin declined to join the Gate of Reality exploration and decided to return to the God Pillar Realm to test whether high-purity time sand could help him make destiny noodles. At the Carefree Assembly auction, he used the Soul-Destroying Finger to suppress the Scarred-Face Woman’s Soul-Devouring Gu and learned that his technique wielded Prison-Suppressing Power.

• Chen Lin rejected bidding for an exploration slot after his talent warned him against the mission, and Huangfu Qingrou agreed that they should not trust the Light Envoy.
• Chen Lin planned to return to the God Pillar Realm and use high-purity time sand to make destiny noodles, keeping the Nightmare Realm and Submarine Light Gate as other options.
• The Scarred-Face Woman offered three mid-grade Pseudo-Source Treasures, including a lightning-attribute treasure, in exchange for something that could help with the Soul-Devouring Gu implanted in her soul.
• Chen Lin invited the Scarred-Face Woman to his private box and offered to try his secret art after learning that Nascent Soul Pills could not help her.
• Chen Lin used the Soul-Destroying Finger, and the Scarred-Face Woman recognized its power as Prison-Suppressing Power and agreed to guide him in adjusting its strength.

Chen Lin exchanged two Pseudo-Source Treasures for a Thunder Emperor Stone and an inheritance on refining Pseudo-Source Treasures, while learning that his Prison-Suppressing Power could mark him as an unusually important target. As the Light Envoy claimed his Drunken God Brew, Chen Lin offered several more pots in hopes of building a connection.

• The Scarred-Face Woman, later identified as Ying Huan, recovered from sensing the Soul-Devouring Gu and gave Chen Lin the lightning Pseudo-Source Treasure, then exchanged the other two for a Thunder Emperor Stone and a Pseudo-Source Treasure inheritance.
• Ying Huan told Chen Lin that Prison-Suppressing Envoys targeted special beings such as Luo and creatures from the Netherworld and Nightmare Realm, but she did not know why; she then left the private room.
• Chen Lin studied the inheritance and learned that he could use it to repair the Dark Red Spearhead as an advanced Pseudo-Source Treasure.
• Huangfu Qingrou told Chen Lin that the people of Snow Eagle were searching for someone with Prison-Suppressing Power, prompting him to suspect the Submarine Light Gate concealed a sealed asura.
• The Light Envoy claimed Chen Lin's Drunken God Brew, and Chen Lin offered to give him several more pots.

Chen Lin received a one-use sword from the Light Envoy at the Carefree Assembly, then returned to the Dark Sea and was confronted by Xiyue, who made him her servant after he gave her Bai Ruxue’s token. He found Huangfu Qingrou safe among a gathering of powerful cultivators, including He Jinlin, and feared He Jinlin might attack him.

• Chen Lin received a tiny sword containing one strike from the Light Envoy and watched the Carefree Assembly auction conclude.
• Chen Lin and Huangfu Qingrou returned to their underwater cave, where Xiyue confronted him and demanded Bai Ruxue’s belongings.

• Chen Lin followed Xiyue to the surface and found Huangfu Qingrou safe beside Huangfu Ying among dozens of powerful cultivators.
• Chen Lin recognized He Jinlin, Miao Guanhai, and Zhuo Aolian among the gathered experts and feared He Jinlin would attack him.

Immortal Superior Xiyue gathered the God Pillar Realm’s elite forces and led them to the Submarine Light Gate to enter the Holy Pagoda Space. Chen Lin learned that Xiyue had destroyed the Asura True Form and recovered her strength, and he obtained Miao Yuwu’s Nightmare Realm Salted Fish at Xiyue’s insistence.

• Chen Lin followed Xiyue toward the Submarine Light Gate with Huangfu Qingrou, Huangfu Ying, Zhen Linyu, and He Jinlin, while keeping his hostility toward Zhen Linyu in check.
• Xiyue led hundreds of powerful cultivators through the parted sea to the Light Gate, where Chen Lin recognized Miao Yuwu, Xu Chenxuan, Elder Yan, and other familiar faces.
• Yang Qianxing told Chen Lin that Xiyue had slain the Evil Eye Monster’s true form and recovered her strength, and that they planned to open the Holy Pagoda.
• Chen Lin asked Miao Yuwu about Xu Chenxuan’s Nightmare Realm Salted Fish, but Xiyue warned him that Nightmare Realm items would not work in the Holy Pagoda Space.
• Xiyue compelled Miao Yuwu to give Chen Lin the salted fish, and Chen Lin accepted it while realizing the demand had angered another Mahayana practitioner.

Chen Lin obtained the Salted Fish Medium, an Origin Orb, and a Fortune Orb from Xiyue before she brought him and the other cultivators through the Light Gate. Inside, Xiyue sacrificed the newcomers to make the Holy Pagoda manifest, and He Jinlin died trying to fight her.

• Chen Lin asked Xiyue for an Origin Orb and a Fortune Orb, and she gave him an Origin Orb while You Wenda offered his Fortune Orb in exchange for a place among her subordinates.
• Xiyue opened the Light Gate with the Round Token and ordered the cultivators to protect themselves with rule origin essence before entering.
• Chen Lin persuaded Xiyue to let Huangfu Qingrou stay outside, then entered the passage with Xiyue and You Wenda.
• Inside the dim space, the cultivators began bursting into blood mist as Xiyue explained that she needed their energy to make the Holy Pagoda manifest.
• He Jinlin tried to attack Xiyue, but his Qilin phantom collapsed and his body burst apart, leaving a streak of golden light to fly deeper into the space.

Immortal Superior Xiyue slaughtered cultivators to use their origin essence to summon the Holy Pagoda, but Miao Guanhai rallied the survivors and struck back with the Black Longsword. The chapter ended as Miao Guanhai split Xiyue’s Jade Coffin and a tiny speck of starlight pierced her barrier and struck her head.

• Xiyue killed He Jinlin, Zhuo Aolian, and other cultivators, explaining that they were nourishment for the Holy Pagoda.
• Miao Guanhai activated the Archaic Scabbard, and Miao Yuwu’s Black Light Sword entered it to form a Black Longsword, freeing the survivors from Xiyue’s suppression.
• Miao Guanhai attacked Xiyue, whose Jade Coffin blocked his sword light but cracked and appeared to injure her.
• Xiyue revealed that the Holy Monarch had created the Lower Primal Domain and that its inhabitants were meant to help summon the Holy Pagoda.
• Miao Guanhai summoned another sword and urged the survivors to attack Xiyue, while Chen Lin retreated and discovered the Light Gate would not transport him.
• Miao Guanhai cleaved Xiyue’s Jade Coffin in two, and a speck of starlight passed through her barrier and struck her head.

Chen Lin witnessed Xiyue unleash her sealed power after Yang Qianxing and the Yellow-Robed Old Man wounded her, and a battle with Miao Guanhai’s sword revealed the Holy Pagoda. Before vanishing, Xiyue spared Chen Lin and tasked him with taking a chest from the pagoda to the Moonlight World in the Upper Primal Domain.

• Yang Qianxing and the Yellow-Robed Old Man wounded Xiyue, and Chen Lin began to attack before she released her seal and transformed.
• Xiyue killed most of the crowd, but Miao Guanhai used the Sword Scabbard to stop her attacks and free the survivors.
• Xiyue killed the Yellow-Robed Old Man, while Yang Qianxing escaped her strike as a streak of starlight.
• Miao Guanhai unleashed the Black Longsword at the cost of his life, and Xiyue countered it with a crescent-moon projection.
• The nine-story Holy Pagoda emerged, and Xiyue told Chen Lin to retrieve a chest from its top and take it to the Moonlight World in the Upper Primal Domain before she vanished.

After Immortal Superior Xiyue vanished with the Round Token, Chen Lin was trapped in the shadowy space and revived the Thunder God Sword by absorbing the Black Pagoda’s rule light. Yang Qianxing joined him, and the two debated whether to enter the pagoda to find a way out.

• Chen Lin searched for the Round Token after Xiyue was forcibly expelled, but discovered she had taken it, leaving him unable to return through the Light Gate.
• Chen Lin gathered the scattered treasures and absorbed the rule light pouring from the Black Pagoda, which descended and fell silent after nearly an hour.
• Chen Lin found that the Thunder God Sword had revived and that Grass’s sword will had fused with it, then promised to bring her back to life.
• Yang Qianxing emerged from hiding, and Chen Lin told him that Xiyue and Miao Guanhai were gone and that the Round Token had been taken.
• Yang Qianxing said the Snow Eagle Organization might know of other Round Tokens, but argued that they should enter the Black Pagoda before it vanished; Chen Lin urged caution because it seemed dangerous and had no visible entrance.
