Xuan Kongzi and the Alchemist Tower elders learned from Yao Chen that the Hall of Souls posed a grave threat and that Hun Tianchen was powerful enough to defeat him in a single move. Inside the Illusory Realm checkpoint, Hun Tianchen easily navigated the spatial maze, exposed a group of Alchemist Tower Dou Venerates, and struck at them.

• Yao Chen warned Xuan Kongzi and the other Alchemist Tower leaders that the Hall of Souls was preparing to move against them and described Hun Tianchen's overwhelming strength.
• Xuan Kongzi said the Alchemist Tower had summoned its ancestor and planned to send experts to assassinate Hun Tianchen, while Yao Chen warned that anyone below Dou Saint would be killed.

• Hun Tianchen sensed nearby arrivals, called them out, and more than a dozen Alchemist Tower Dou Venerates appeared around him.
• The Dou Venerates realized Hun Tianchen was a Peak Nine-Star Dou Venerate, and he raised his hand as darkness engulfed their vision.

Xiao Yan and Hun Tianchen passed through the illusion realm, where Hun Tianchen dismissed visions of people close to him and reached the exit. The contestants gathered beyond it and prepared to enter the Dan Realm, while Xiao Yan remained wary of Hun Tianchen and their competing factions.

• Xiao Yan witnessed Hun Tianchen standing among a pile of Dou Venerate corpses and hurried away from him.

Hun Tianchen entered the Dan Realm and discovered that the Alchemist Tower’s selection required contestants to gather ingredients for a Dragon Transformation Elixir. After absorbing the realm’s Luck Force, he realized the demanding recipe might be deliberate sabotage, while the turtle-riding elder’s murder exposed the danger surrounding the conference.

• The turtle-riding old man explained the ten-day ingredient hunt, the Space Stone’s rules, and the danger of the Dan Realm’s magical beasts.
• Hun Tianchen accepted his supplies and entered the spatial passage, leaving the turtle-riding old man dead after a mysterious force stripped away his soul.

• Hun Tianchen read the ingredient list and discovered that the Alchemist Tower required materials for a difficult Ninth Grade Treasure Elixir called the Dragon Transformation Elixir.

Hun Tianchen tried to make a Dragon Transformation Elixir but the Dan Beast swallowed his Ancient Void Dragon Essence Blood and evolved into a powerful Giant Dragon. Seeing that it had its own consciousness and was linked to him, he decided to fuse it with Soul Dragon.

Xiao Yan emerged from the Dan Realm and joined the surviving contestants as the Alchemy Conference's final round was about to begin, with Hun Tianchen among those waiting.

• The other contestants continued refining their elixirs on floating stone platforms as the spectators waited for the Alchemy Conference’s final day and champion.
