At the Confucian School funeral, Song Shuhang’s Wooden Body released pollen that showed the disciples visions of the four Tribulation Immortals teaching the Dao, leaving everyone overcome with grief.

After a jealous caller threatened him and was quickly dealt with, Fairy Azure Luan gave Sage White Lord the caller’s Sacred Mountain slot.

• A major figure gave Su Clan's Sixteen four Insurance Vouchers that only she could use, and she accepted them as compensation.
• Song Shuhang flew away from Confucian School’s territory with Senior White, Senior Turtle, and Su Clan's Sixteen, who pruned the branches growing on his Wood Body and picked its ripe fruits.

Song Shuhang asked Fairy Azure Luan when Mount Ga'er would open so he could obtain the final inheritance of Sacred Ape Dragon Force Divine Art and restore his damaged body. Fairy Azure Luan reported that the Sacred Mountain had become active and might open as soon as the day after tomorrow.

• Senior White secured the slots, while Song Shuhang considered asking Fairy Azure Luan for another one for Su Clan's Sixteen.
• Song Shuhang asked Fairy Azure Luan about Mount Ga'er's opening and showed her his strange Wooden Body, explaining that he needed the art's final inheritance to recover.
• Fairy Azure Luan said she would check the opening time and suggested Song Shuhang travel to the Beast Cultivator World early; Senior White and Su Clan's Sixteen agreed to wait for the estimate.
• Senior White hoped the Sacred Mountain would open sooner because he expected a long wait, while Song Shuhang mistakenly thought he was worried about his body.
• Fairy Azure Luan called back and reported that the Sacred Mountain had entered an active phase and might open as early as the day after tomorrow.

After resting in Senior White’s new Steel Villa, Song remembered he also wanted to visit Senior White Two in the Evil Lotus World.

• After recovering through half a night's sleep, Song Shuhang remembered that he wanted to visit Senior White Two in the Evil Lotus World.

• The Hamster Fiend let Song Shuhang enter the lair, where Senior White Two asked him to gather Merit Light or Holy Light to suppress an Ancient Nether Will Fragment.

Song Shuhang helped Senior White Two seal an Ancient Nether Will Fragment while Senior White Two remained trapped by Fat Ball. Senior White Two planned to use the fragment to create an incarnation to manage the Ancient Nether World, and Song Shuhang suggested giving it a Core Assistant.

• Song Shuhang woke as a thought body in Senior White Two’s Evil Lotus World and saw Shushu beside the Crystal Pillar containing Senior White Two.
• Song Shuhang attempted to use the Whale-Spending Strike on the Crystal Pillar, but it failed because the seal was not a treasure that could be sacrificed.
• Senior White Two said he could break free after at most five thousand years and explained that he had brought the Ancient Nether Will Fragment to occupy him while he slept.
• Song Shuhang used the Appraisal Secret Method and learned that the seal would last 6,666 years and still take several thousand years to break under external force.
• Song Shuhang repeatedly used the Blade-Nourishing Art on the Crystal Pillar until touching it no longer gave him an electric shock, explaining that he was trying to build favorability with the seal.

Song Shuhang tested whether he could befriend Boss Fat Ball’s sealed crystal pillar, then prepared to leave for Mount Ga'er and agreed to retrieve Senior White Two’s Stone Stele.

Song Shuhang prepared to travel with Senior White and the others toward the Beast Cultivator World, stopping first in the Jiangnan Region to check on Ding Gan’s tribulation. There, Ding Gan began his Rank Three tribulation as Song Shuhang’s parents gathered with friends, and a thunderclap interrupted Dad Song’s warning not to praise his son too much.

• Song Shuhang woke refreshed, and Senior White transformed the Steel Villa into a flying sword for their journey.
• Pavilion Master Chu suggested they head first to the Jiangnan Region, where Ding Gan was preparing to undergo tribulation.
• Ding Gan checked his formations and began his Rank Two-to-Rank Three tribulation while his master and senior sisters stood guard.
• Song Shuhang’s parents met friends for a meal, and Dad Song said that praising Shuhang too much would make him ascend to heaven.
• A muffled thunderclap interrupted Dad Song’s remark.

Dad Song and his friends witnessed a silent lightning storm and a young man flying beneath it, while recording devices showed only clear skies. Song Shuhang rescued the fallen youth, and Pavilion Master Chu made the strange spectacle appear to be a movie shoot.

• Dad Song and Mom Song heard strange thunder while dining with friends, then joined a conversation about whether Song Shuhang had a girlfriend.
• Dad Song's friends saw the sky flicker between storm clouds and clear weather, though their phones and cameras recorded only blue skies.

• After the young man dodged eight bolts and was struck by the ninth, Song Shuhang shot into the sky and sent him flying away from the busy streets.
• Song Shuhang asked Pavilion Master Chu to adjust the illusions, and she made the onlookers believe cameras and film equipment explained the scene.

Song Shuhang helped Ding Gan escape the city after his Heart Demon disrupted his tribulation, while Pavilion Master Chu concealed their intervention with illusions. As Ding Gan resumed his tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation recalculated and returned as a Sound Tribulation.

• Pavilion Master Chu said her illusions had not interfered with the Heavenly Tribulation, while Song Shuhang worried that his actions might have.
• Song Shuhang warned Ding Gan that his mutated Heavenly Tribulation would condense again, and Ding Gan recovered after taking pills.

• Song Shuhang and Senior White eagerly watched the tribulation, hoping to taste its lightning, as the cloud began recalculating.
• The Heavenly Tribulation descended without lightning and instead produced waves of sonic booms.

Ding Gan endured a Second-to-Third-Grade Sound Tribulation before Song Shuhang and Senior White captured the final bolt of Tribulation Lightning. Just as Song Shuhang congratulated Ding Gan, his Heart Demon turned into a Heart Demon Tribulation and struck him.

• Ding Gan suffered through three waves of Sound Tribulation but adapted and survived them.
• The final wave brought Tribulation Lightning, which Ding Gan's formations deflected toward Song Shuhang.
• Song Shuhang restrained the lightning and kneaded it into a pillar, then Senior White sealed it for storage in the Core World.
• Song Shuhang congratulated Ding Gan, but Ding Gan's Heart Demon materialized as a Heart Demon Tribulation and attacked him.

Song Shuhang and the others watched Ding Gan’s heart demon become a heart demon tribulation while discussing love and whether Senior White had ever truly loved someone. Senior White said he probably had not and that love should make a person happy, leaving Ding Gan to rise from the tribulation and declare how happy he was.

• Ding Gan’s heart demon transformed into a heart demon tribulation, enveloping him in squid tentacles.
• Song Shuhang wondered what had caused Ding Gan’s heart demon, but Ding Gan’s senior sisters and master said he had found no flaw in his romantic, family, or friendly relationships.
• Senior White explained that White Crane’s feelings for him were gratitude, then clarified how White Crane’s race fixed its gender through love or a dao-companion relationship.
• Onion Lady asked whether Senior White had ever truly loved someone, and Senior White answered that he probably had not.
• Senior White said he would need to get along with someone and that love should make a person happy.
• Ding Gan rose from the ground and shouted that love made him happy.

Ding Gan drove his Heart Demon Tribulation out through sheer resolve, and Senior White sealed it after Song Shuhang caught it. Song Shuhang tried to spread a rumor about Senior White seeking a partner, but the failed network connection left him unable to retract the message.

• Ding Gan roared about his happy love and forced the Heart Demon clinging to him into a tug-of-war.

• Song Shuhang lost internet access, but texted Senior Yellow Mountain to ask him to recall his group message.
• True Lord White Crane called Senior White about the rumored search for a spouse, prompting Senior White to question Song Shuhang, but he accepted the sealed Heart Demon Tribulation without punishing him.
• Senior White and the others boarded the giant flying-sword artifact and continued toward the Beast Cultivator World while Ding Gan and his disciples stayed behind to handle the aftermath of the tribulation.
• In the Jiangnan Region, Dad Song and Mom Song resumed chatting, remembering that Song Shuhang had gone into the sky and that two beauties had appeared beside him.
• Senior Turtle began teaching Onion Lady cultivation aboard the artifact, and Song Shuhang suddenly found himself in Senior White’s Passionate Desert as horse bells rang nearby.
