Song Shuhang’s consciousness followed the Confucian Sage’s Eye into Fat Ball’s networked lair, where Fat Ball caught him and tried to extract his secrets. The Sage’s Eye trapped Fat Ball briefly with the Burial Saint Valley technique, then found the Immortal Bone and pressed against it as if trying to merge with it.

• The Sage's Eye took the Immortal Bone from Skylark and returned with it to the Battle Space, where the Confucian Sage held it while fighting Fat Ball's incarnation.
• Song Shuhang appraised the bone and discovered it was Fat Ball's counterfeit, a rechargeable item designed to seal Senior White Two.

He summoned a mysterious throne and eye to restrain Fat Ball while preparing to sacrifice his treasures, but the attack was still not powerful enough.

• Outside the battle space, Su Clan's Sixteen and the others worried that Song Shuhang could be annihilated before he could resurrect, while White Dragon Sister and Senior White's Clone said they could not help him.

• Song Shuhang’s head fell back and dangled from his scarf, horrifying the Confucian School disciples.

Song Shuhang completed his advancement and formed seven distinct Life Wheels, though Senior White Two's head-severing technique left his head prone to falling off.

Song Shuhang broke through six heavens of the Tenth Heaven of the True Lord in rapid succession, astonishing Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword. He prepared to test whether one of his seven Little Spirit Lakes could enter the Heaven-Ascending Lotus stage and condense a Nascent Soul.

• Song Shuhang trembled through his upgrade while Creation Fairy and Merit Snake Beauty held his head, and Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword asked whether he had finished.
• Song Shuhang told Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword that he had already broken through the first four heavens and was charging toward the fifth.
• Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword became jealous of Song Shuhang’s rapid progress, and Black-Skinned Soft Feather reminded it that it was already a Heart Demon.
• Song Shuhang estimated that his abundant Life Wheel power might carry him through two or three more heavens as he continued advancing.
• Song Shuhang reported that he had broken through the sixth heaven and began considering whether to use one of his seven Little Spirit Lakes to enter the Heaven-Ascending Lotus stage.

Song Shuhang’s breakthrough stalled when his body reached its limit, so he abandoned the attempt and searched the battlefield for Fat Ball’s remains. After leaving the battle space, he was unexpectedly hit by Turtle Dad’s cannon, which knocked a hidden piece of mercury-like metal out of him.

• Song Shuhang considered using a Spirit Lake to experiment with his breakthrough, but Pavilion Master Chu and Black-Skinned Soft Feather warned him against it.

• Creation Fairy used the Sage’s Eye to transfer Song Shuhang out of the battle space, where Turtle Dad immediately fired an eighth-grade Turtle Roar Cannon at him.
• The cannon knocked a hidden piece of mercury-like metal out of Song Shuhang, and it roared angrily.

Turtle Dad’s Eighth-Grade blast exposed and weakened the piece of Boss Fat Ball’s incarnation hidden on Song Shuhang, though it also nearly killed him. Song Shuhang launched a relentless attack against the incarnation, which recoiled in terror when he accidentally used a Blade-Nourishing Art.

• Boss Fat Ball realized Turtle Dad’s Turtle Roar Cannon had struck both Song Shuhang and the hidden incarnation attached to him, ruining its plan.

• Song Shuhang accidentally mixed a Blade-Nourishing Art into his barrage, causing Boss Fat Ball’s incarnation to tremble and scream in terror.

Song Shuhang used the Blade-Nourishing Art to force Boss Fat Ball’s avatar to shed its Immortal Bone, exposing it to Heavenly Punishment. After the avatar was destroyed, the punishment clouds locked onto Song Shuhang, and Senior White’s Clone began to disappear as Song called for help.

• Song Shuhang repeatedly struck Boss Fat Ball’s avatar with the Blade-Nourishing Art until it split apart and revealed a pure white Immortal Bone.
• Song Shuhang moved the Immortal Bone into his Core World and retreated with Su Clan's Sixteen, Senior White's Clone, and White Dragon Sister as Heavenly Punishment descended on Boss Fat Ball’s exposed avatar.
• Heavenly Punishment vaporized Boss Fat Ball’s avatar, while Boss Fat Ball’s true body recovered in the Netherworld and watched Tyrant Song on its projection screens.

• Song Shuhang wept from the pain of the Law-level damage, and Su Clan's Sixteen cradled his head and offered him her saber sheath to bite.

• Su Clan's Sixteen lowered Song Shuhang’s head into the Living Spring, where he sank, and a hamster swordsman appeared and announced that he had come to see him.

Song Shuhang endured his head being submerged in the Living Spring pond while Merit Snake Beauty and Su Clan's Sixteen helped him. He learned that Senior White Two was temporarily trapped but unharmed, then provoked the Hamster Unit and proved its sword could not pierce his strengthened skin.

• Merit Snake Beauty emerged from the Living Spring pond, lifted Song Shuhang's head in a pose from [Nuwa Repairs the Heavens], and handed him to Su Clan's Sixteen.

• Song Shuhang teased the Hamster Unit for calling Senior White a White Rabbit, prompting it to attack him with its sword.
• Song Shuhang let the Hamster Unit's strike hit his forehead and showed that his strengthened skin stopped the blade.

• Song Shuhang asked Hamster Unit for a way to restore his body, but Hamster Unit explained that Senior White had sent it only to check on him and left to report his condition.
