Arc 26Return to Lingyang
Shi Lan survived the Twilight of the Gods and returned to find Lingyang engulfed in conflict, then forged alliances and advanced her martial path while preparing the Tianyan Sect for the coming calamity. The story left her establishing a new base in the Liuguang Realm as the Boundless Sea consumed territory and she sought to strengthen her weapon.

- Shi Lan found Lingyang in turmoil after Emperor Taishi’s fall and reunited with her family, but many of them refused to leave the war-torn realm.
- Shi Lan cultivated in the Glazed Light Realm, derived a new martial path, and overcame its Heavenly Dao before joining Lingyun to discuss preparing Lingyang as a refuge.
- Meng revealed that the World Source Crystal had shattered and invited Shi Lan to help prepare Lingyang, while she concealed the location of one fragment and agreed to lead Spirit Martial Hall disciples there.
