Song Shuhang learned that Su Clan's Sixteen had recovered from her critical injuries and met Venerable Seven Cultivations, who was sorting treasures to prepare for a meeting with Everything Can Be Sold.

Venerable Seven Cultivations taught Song Shuhang the Steel Hand technique, and Shuhang continued training against the Hundred Giants while sorting through Helm Master Jing Mo’s belongings.

Song Shuhang prepared to explore the mobile Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations with Venerable Seven Cultivations after training on the moon. Meanwhile, the Limitless Demon Sect planned to rescue eight captured Peak Masters, while Gongzi Hai and Devil Lord Anzhi schemed to keep some of them from returning.

Venerable Seven Cultivations led Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, Yu Jiaojiao, and Li Yinzhu to the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations, hidden inside a meteorite in outer space. They opened its barrier with a metal remote-control key and entered the tomb, where Venerable Seven Cultivations began warning them about traps.

• Venerable Seven Cultivations taught Song Shuhang Secret Voice Transmission beside the golden barrier around the tomb.
• Yu Jiaojiao tried to break the barrier with Water of the Black River, but the Shadow of the Dead dispelled the technique and sent her flying.
• Chu Chu communicated with the Shadow of the Dead, which told the group to dig up a dried-up well and retrieve a metal plate key.
• Song Shuhang found that the metal plate's bird pattern opened the barrier and its fish pattern closed it, then led the group inside.
• At the tomb entrance, Venerable Seven Cultivations warned Chu Chu and Song Shuhang about nearby traps as they prepared to explore.

Song Shuhang and his companions explored Venerable Six Cultivations’ tomb with Venerable Seven Cultivations revealing its secrets along the way. When they reached seven branching paths, they split up, and Seven Cultivations and White Jade Lion Four Cultivations followed to keep watch over them.

• Venerable Seven Cultivations guided Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, Yu Jiaojiao, and Li Yinzhu through the tomb, helping them avoid traps and find minor items left behind by past explorers.
• Song Shuhang found the Holy Light Swordsmanship manual, learned it came from ancient Western Holy Church Knights, and kept it despite finding its sword formulas awkward.
• At seven branching paths, Seven Cultivations urged the group to choose their own routes, and they decided to split up.
• Chu Chu entered the fifth path, Yu Jiaojiao the second, Li Yinzhu the first, and Song Shuhang the seventh.
• After the four disappeared into their passages, Seven Cultivations told White Jade Lion Four Cultivations to watch over them and prevent them from getting killed.

Chu Chu fought through waves of demons in Fork No. 5 and reached a tomb chamber, where she broke through to the Fourth Dantian before a mummy-like figure examined her and began a fortune-telling proposal. In Fork No. 1, Li Yinzhu’s cold qi flared up and put her into hibernation as one of Four Cultivations’s eyeballs watched.

• Chu Chu entered the mist-filled Fork No. 5 and killed four beast-men with her sword.
• Chu Chu fought off ten increasingly large waves of beast-men before emerging into a tomb chamber with a golden coffin.
• Chu Chu stepped into the chamber and broke through to the Fourth Dantian as the golden coffin opened and a mummy-like figure immobilized and examined her.
• The mummy-like figure divined Chu Chu’s fortune, then asked whether she would sign a contract and become something.
• Li Yinzhu walked through Fork No. 1 as snow fell, then crouched down and entered hibernation when her cold qi flared up.

Yu Jiaojiao and Song Shuhang faced different trials inside the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations, while Yu Jiaojiao learned the tomb was seeking a fated inheritor for its Daoist lineage. Yu Jiaojiao was expelled after receiving a Moonstone, and Song Shuhang began fighting Sea Urchin Warriors in Forked Path Seven.

• The White Jade Lion carried the sleeping Li Yinzhu out of Forked Path One and back to the Immortal Ark.
• Yu Jiaojiao defeated ten waves of Demonic Path cultivators, entered the ancient tomb, and gained a quarter more Innate True Qi, stabilizing her Fourth-Grade Realm.
• The figure in the Golden Coffin judged Yu Jiaojiao unsuitable as an inheritor, gave her a Moonstone, and sent her out of the tomb.
• Yu Jiaojiao considered that the tomb was searching for someone fated to inherit the Venerable's Daoist lineage.
• Song Shuhang entered Forked Path Seven, encountered four Sea Urchin Warriors, and charged at them with his blade.

Song Shuhang fought through waves of artificial Sea Urchin Warriors in the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations and reached its stone chamber, where a strange reward made his true qi surge dangerously. The mummy revealed herself as the living Six Cultivations and asked him to sign a contract to become Eight Cultivations, while she posed the same question to Chu Chu in the mirrored tomb.

• Song Shuhang used his saber techniques and talismans to fight the Sea Urchin Warriors, but the tomb’s suppression formation made his Sword Talismans useless.
• Song Shuhang fought off the gathered Sea Urchin Warriors, then cleared the remaining waves and reached the tomb’s stone chamber.
• The chamber’s reward caused Song Shuhang’s true qi to surge and strain his qi sea dantian.
• The mummy restrained Song Shuhang, examined his features and limbs, and used a divination that gave contradictory results about their connection.
• The mummy removed her bandages and revealed herself as the living Six Cultivations, then asked Song Shuhang to sign a contract and become Eight Cultivations.

Venerable Six Cultivations showed Song Shuhang a recording that revealed the numbered Cultivations were successive masters of the Dao Artifact Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber. The recording explained its rewards and protections, but also hinted at the price its master paid after failing a heavenly tribulation.

• Venerable Six Cultivations showed Song Shuhang a Spell Imprint recording of True Monarch Five Cultivations meeting a young Venerable Seven Cultivations.
• Song Shuhang recognized True Monarch Dustfall in the recording, and Six Cultivations explained that he was Five Cultivations’ descendant.
• True Monarch Five Cultivations explained that the numbered Cultivations were successive masters responsible for refining and passing on the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber.
• True Monarch Five Cultivations said the saber granted its master the complete Nine-Turn Phoenix Technique and the insights of its previous masters.
• True Monarch Five Cultivations explained that the saber could preserve its master after a failed heavenly tribulation, though the master had to pay a price and could later reverse it.

Song Shuhang agreed to become a candidate for inheriting the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber, but the contract recognized only the Daoist name Overlord Blade Song One, which later became Song One. Six Cultivations then realized Song Shuhang’s surging true qi still threatened to make him explode when he left the tomb.

• Song Shuhang learned that True Monarch Five Cultivations had left a special clone in the tomb after successfully transcending his tribulation and that Venerable Seven Cultivations had accepted the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber contract.
• Song Shuhang accepted the contract after Six Cultivations explained that wielding the saber would strengthen his future heavenly tribulations.
• Six Cultivations showed Song Shuhang the candidate scroll, where he saw the names of Mad Saber Three Waves, Copper Trigram Immortal Master, and Snow Wolf Cave Master, and Chu Chu’s name appeared as he prepared to sign.
• Song Shuhang’s real name vanished from the scroll, and after he wrote his seven Daoist names, only Overlord Blade Song One remained.
• Six Cultivations completed the contract, unaware that Overlord Blade disappeared from Song Shuhang’s name, leaving only Song One.
• Six Cultivations remembered that Song Shuhang’s surging true qi could make him explode once he left the ancient tomb and began considering how to stop it.

Song Shuhang entered Six Cultivations's Golden Coffin to strengthen his body and keep his surging true qi from making him explode outside the Ancient Tomb. While using the coffin's Wi-Fi, he received a medicinal-bath formula from Medicine Master, but Onion Lady transformed into human form and saw the message asking for an onion sprout.

• Six Cultivations warned Song Shuhang that his true qi might make him explode outside the tomb and told him to lie in her Golden Coffin to strengthen his physique.
• Song Shuhang climbed into the coffin, found that his modified phone could connect to Wi-Fi, and read Nine Provinces Number One Group messages about the search for Dragon Demon blood.
• Medicine Master offered Song Shuhang a medicinal-bath formula for free in exchange for an Onion Sprout, then sent him the formula and ingredient pictures.
• The Golden Coffin accelerated Onion Lady's transformation into human form, and she burst through Song Shuhang's pocket and saw Medicine Master's message.

Song Shuhang tried to explain that he only wanted Onion Lady to turn back into an onion, but Six Cultivations mistook their struggle in the Golden Coffin for lovers’ intimacy after seeing Onion Lady’s rounded abdomen. The chapter ended with Four Cultivations setting fire to the coffin while Song Shuhang shouted that the bulge was an Enlightenment Stone, not a child.

• Song Shuhang asked Onion Lady to turn back into an onion, and she refused because she feared he would pinch off her onion tip.
• Onion Lady struggled against Song Shuhang inside the Golden Coffin, and their shouts prompted Six Cultivations to open it.
• Six Cultivations saw Onion Lady sprawled over Song Shuhang with her abdomen slightly raised and mistakenly assumed they were lovers.
• Four Cultivations saw the scene through the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber and set firewood beneath the Golden Coffin alight.
• Song Shuhang shouted that Onion Lady’s abdomen held an Enlightenment Stone and explained that they had been arguing over Medicine Master’s medicinal bath formula.

Song Shuhang endured a group-chat scandal while taking a medicinal bath in the Golden Coffin, which rapidly strengthened his physique. Onion Lady melted in the bathwater, but her roots survived inside the Enlightenment Stone, while the others waited for Shuhang to finish his soak.

• Six Cultivations discovered that Venerable Seven Cultivations' account had posted a photo of Song Shuhang and Onion Lady, prompting the Nine Provinces Number One Group to assume she was pregnant with his child.
• Song Shuhang restarted his dead phone and saw the seniors discussing names for his supposed child, then lost hope after Medicine Master privately congratulated him on Onion Lady's pregnancy.
• Six Cultivations sold Song Shuhang ingredients for a medicinal bath, placed him and Onion Lady in the Golden Coffin, and had Four Cultivations heat it over a fire.
• Song Shuhang enjoyed the bath as it strengthened his physique, but Onion Lady began melting in the water and dissolved completely, leaving her roots protected inside the Enlightenment Stone.
• Six Cultivations stabilized Onion Lady's life force with a healing spell and placed the Enlightenment Stone in a flowerpot, while Yu Jiaojiao and Chu Chu returned to the Immortal Ark and waited for Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang endured a painful medicinal bath that greatly increased his constitution, while the bath transformed under the influence of Onion Lady. He emerged stronger, and Six Cultivations joked about his new scallion-oil scent.

• Song Shuhang's pain intensified as the medicinal bath's effects increased his constitution, and he suspected Onion Lady had changed the formula.
• A scallion-sprout phantom formed in the bath, ending Song Shuhang's pain and accelerating his recovery before he drifted into a half-sleep.
• After nearly two hours, Song Shuhang awoke with his constitution increased by about thirteen points and considered opening his Third Dantian.
• The Spirit Ghost emerged from Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture and swallowed the scallion-sprout phantom.
• Six Cultivations opened the Golden Coffin, and Four Cultivations remarked that the medicinal bath smelled like scallion-oil flatbread.

Song Shuhang recovered from the medicinal bath, learned that Onion Lady had lost her demonic aura, and stocked up on medicinal ingredients. As the group prepared to part ways, Venerable Seven Cultivations sent Shuhang on a space trial, while Yu Jiaojiao returned to Earth to capture a novelist for Shuhang’s movie.

• Song Shuhang woke in the golden coffin, bumped his head on the tomb ceiling, and received his belongings and Onion Lady from Miss Six Cultivations.
• Miss Six Cultivations told Song Shuhang that Onion Lady’s demonic aura had vanished, and he decided to find a suitable cultivation technique for her.

• Yu Jiaojiao said she was returning to Earth to capture the novelist whose work she had told Song Shuhang about.

Song Shuhang drifted through space after Venerable Seven Cultivations launched him from the Immortal Ark, while three spirit stones vanished into his puppet. Back at his home, new neighbors Joseph and his family arrived as two Limitless Demon Sect disciples approached, unaware that Su Clan's Seven had ordered their capture.

• Venerable Seven Cultivations cannon-launched Song Shuhang, Chu Chu, and Li Yinzhu into space, and Song Shuhang wondered whether he was facing a trial arranged by Venerable White.
• Three Third-Grade Spirit Stones in Song Shuhang's Inch-Shrinking Bag touched the exquisite puppet and were absorbed.
• Joseph moved his family into the house beside Song Shuhang's and brought them to visit, hoping to learn more about his master's divine arts.
• Joseph's family met Mom Song and Daoist Cloudmist, and learned that Song Shuhang would be away for about a month.
• Two Limitless Demon Sect disciples approached Song Shuhang's home to seize his relatives, but a Heavenly River Su Clan watcher reported them to Su Clan's Seven, who ordered Fifth Squad to capture them.
• Gao Moumou felt an unexplained chill while working at home.

Two Limitless Demon Sect disciples tried to approach Song Shuhang’s house but were ambushed by the Heavenly River Su Clan, then escaped with the Great Blood Escape Art. Gongzi Hai learned that the Blood God Diamond was beyond his reach and moved ahead with plans involving Ancient Shaman Elise, while his hidden metal spider headed for Song Shuhang’s house.

• Daoist Cloudmist sensed two Fourth-Grade cultivators approaching Song Shuhang’s house and wondered whether they were after the Enlightenment Stone.
• The Heavenly River Su Clan’s hunters knocked out Black-Robed Number One and Number Two, but the disciples escaped by using the Great Blood Escape Art, leaving some blood mist behind for the hunters to collect.
• Gongzi Hai learned that Song Shuhang had traded the Blood God Diamond to Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman and decided not to provoke the power behind him.
• Gongzi Hai, Devil Lord Anzhi, and Zheng Neng discussed their plan to leave some peak lords mining for Venerable Seven Cultivations and to enlist Ancient Shaman Elise’s help.
• Gongzi Hai activated a hidden metal spider concealed in the escaped blood mist, and it began crawling toward Song Shuhang’s house as a backup plan.

Gongzi Hai planted a metal spider in Song Shuhang’s home, but Daoist Cloudmist secretly disabled it before leaving. Meanwhile, Gao Moumou chatted with Song Shuhang about a new girl named Yu Jiaojiao, leaving Shuhang wondering if she was the same Yu Jiaojiao he knew.

• Gongzi Hai hid a metal spider in Song Shuhang’s chandelier and cut off his connection to it.
• Daoist Cloudmist spotted the spider, removed its legs with Empty-Handed Sleight, and left it intact to avoid alerting whoever had planted it.
• Joseph left Song Shuhang’s home with his wife and daughter, eager to keep learning martial arts from his new neighbor.
• Gao Moumou told Song Shuhang he was planning a honeymoon with Mei Yi and mentioned that a girl named Yu Jiaojiao had added him.
• Song Shuhang wondered whether Gao Moumou’s Yu Jiaojiao was the same person he knew and asked if Gao Moumou knew any webnovel authors.

Song Shuhang worried that Gao Moumou might be the author Yu Jiaojiao had recruited, but Gao Moumou denied being interested in writing. Gao Moumou then flirted with Yu Jiaojiao online and received a photo of her stunning mother, leaving Song Shuhang to conclude that the mistaken identity had been a beautiful misunderstanding.

• Song Shuhang asked Gao Moumou whether he wanted to write webnovels, and Gao Moumou denied having any interest.
• Gao Moumou switched to chatting with Yu Jiaojiao and confirmed that he was the author Naiqi from the Jiangnan Region.

• Gao Moumou showed the photo to Song Shuhang and Tubo and offered to introduce them to Yu Jiaojiao, but Song Shuhang declined.

Song Shuhang was drawn into a mysterious palace in space and woke the next day on a bridge in an unfamiliar realm. He reached Jadewater Pavilion, where Golden Lad and Jade Maiden welcomed him and revealed that his route there had been a test of fate.

• Song Shuhang lost phone service while drifting through space and could not confirm Yu Jiaojiao's information with her.
