After Qi Yao completed Qin Shaofeng’s inheritance, he gave Qin Shaofeng Mind Tea that transformed his sea of consciousness into a Starry Sky World.

Qin Shaofeng and Star Lord Luo arrived at Heavenly Machine City, where Huang Family and Lu Family members confronted them over Qin Shaofeng’s role in a killing.

• Star Lord Luo insisted they would not dare, but his expression changed as the men pressed forward.

Qin Shaofeng foiled an attempt by the Huang and Lu Lineages to poison Star Lord Luo, then killed Huang Tianhua after he insulted Endless Mountain.

• The Huang and Lu Lineages’ Elder Sus denounced Star Lord Luo and demanded that Luo Tianji punish him severely.

• Qin Shaofeng mocked the elders for targeting Luo Tianji and rebuked Elder Su of the Huang Family when he demanded respect for his seniority.
• Qin Shaofeng revealed the silver Endless Seal on his brow and ordered Elder Su to kneel, declaring that his standing in Endless Mountain outranked the Huang Family elder.

• An Elder Su of the Lu Family intervened, saying the two could be considered peers by seniority, and Elder Su's anger eased briefly.
• Qin Shaofeng accused the Huang Family of trying to use him as a scapegoat and demanded a reasonable explanation from the gathered Heavenly Machine Tower leaders.

Qin Shaofeng demanded compensation from the Huang and Lu Families, protected Star Lord Luo, and learned from Luo Tianji that the Heavenly Machine Tower faced a conspiracy backed by Cangming Palace.

• Qin Shaofeng chose to stay at Luo Tianji’s separate courtyard rather than hide in the sunless place, and Luo Tianji personally led him there.

Luo Tianji gave Qin Shaofeng a Space Ring containing a fortune and three of the Heavenly Machine Tower’s strongest manuals, then left him to consider the Tower’s fate. In Wujian, Wujin Shang warned Qin Shaofeng that Luo Tianji’s account might be a deception based on calculations of the heavenly secrets, but Qin Shaofeng saw a way to counter such schemes by cultivating the Heavenly Machine Technique.

• Luo Tianji entrusted Qin Shaofeng with more than a hundred Heart Crystals, over thirty thousand Soul Crystals, and several manuals before taking Star Lord Luo away.
• Qin Shaofeng sent Luo San to buy fine food and wine, then entered Wujian to consult his senior brothers and sisters.

• Qin Shaofeng examined Luo Tianji’s manuals and revealed that he had already cultivated the earlier portions of the Heavenly Machine Technique and lacked only its later portions.

Qin Shaofeng prepared a room full of restrictions and rapidly advanced his Heavenly Machine Technique, then used the defenses to withstand an attack by three Nihility Realm experts. He left the attackers trapped while studying Heavenly Machine Palm and Heavenly Machine Sword, but his Shining Star Value dwindled to just over three thousand.

• Qin Shaofeng arranged restriction items throughout the room before using the system to raise his Heavenly Machine Technique to the eighth level, exhausting most of his Shining Star Value.
• Qin Shaofeng inspected his character interface and realized the Chaos Inheritance had consumed nearly all his Shining Star Value.

• Three Nihility Realm experts burst into Qin Shaofeng's room, where his restrictions unleashed thorny plants and powerful lightning against them.
• Qin Shaofeng stayed seated as the restrictions kept the attackers at bay, then mastered Heavenly Machine Palm and advanced Heavenly Machine Sword to the eighth stage, spending 3.7 billion Star-Moon Value.

Qin Shaofeng upgraded Lightning Thousand Flash until he reached its first realm and awakened True Monarch Seven Colors’ inheritance. The inheritance transformed his martial cultivation and system attributes, leaving him stunned by how completely it had altered his abilities.

• Qin Shaofeng spent Star-Moon Value rapidly upgrading Lightning Thousand Flash.
• The system announced that Qin Shaofeng had entered Lightning Thousand Flash’s first realm, and True Monarch Seven Colors addressed him as an inheritor.

• Qin Shaofeng saw Lightning Thousand Flash change and watched his martial skills begin transforming in the system panel.
• The changes settled, replacing most of Qin Shaofeng’s martial cultivation and attributes with Seven Colors abilities and leaving him questioning True Monarch Seven Colors’ power.

Qin Shaofeng tested the transformed Seven Colors techniques after receiving True Monarch Seven Colors’ legacy, then sensed danger from a new attacker and fled the restrictions. He left the trapped Nihility Realm experts behind and appeared in the courtyard, preparing to teleport again.

• True Monarch Seven Colors passed his legacy to Qin Shaofeng and vanished, leaving Qin Shaofeng to discover that the inheritance had transformed his martial skills.
• Qin Shaofeng tested the Seven Colors techniques and found they had merged with his existing abilities, strengthening his phantom, sword art, and seals.
• Qin Shaofeng sensed danger from the Heavenly Machine Technique and entered the restrictions, where he spotted a pitch-black short spear at his former position.
• Qin Shaofeng rushed toward the trapped Nihility Realm experts and used the Seven Colors True Art to vanish despite one expert freezing the space.
• Qin Shaofeng appeared in the courtyard and prepared to teleport again rather than confront the Nihility Realm experts with his lower cultivation.

Qin Shaofeng was surrounded by three Void Realm peak martial cultivators, but Wujin Youming’s divine consciousness protection took control of his body and unleashed Ghost Melody’s devastating power. After the attackers were killed, Qin Shaofeng picked up the saber and resolved to grow strong enough to wield its full strength himself.

• Qin Shaofeng prepared to fight when Wujian Senior Brother warned him that three Void Realm peak cultivators were approaching.

• Qin Shaofeng regained control, picked up Ghost Melody, and vowed to become strong enough to unleash its true combat strength.

After days of quiet following the assassination attempt, Qin Shaofeng emerged from cultivation and learned that powerful young figures had gathered in Heavenly Machine City for the banquet. He went to visit the Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor, but a gray-clothed guard barred the way, and Qin Shaofeng demanded to know the man’s family.

• Qin Shaofeng learned the Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor lived nearby and decided to visit him despite Luo San’s warning that the residence was dangerous.
• A gray-clothed guard stopped Qin Shaofeng at the gate and called him irrelevant, so Qin Shaofeng asked which family the guard belonged to.

Qin Shaofeng forced his way past a Heavenly Machine Tower guard and entered Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor’s courtyard, where he pretended to be a lecherous suitor for Ximen Bingning. He gave her a defensive treasure and urged her to choose him at the upcoming Heavenly Machine Banquet, while Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor let the act continue.

• Qin Shaofeng threatened the gray-clad guard with the fate of the six men killed ten days earlier, and the guard stepped aside.
• Qin Shaofeng kicked open the courtyard gates, and Luo San shut them behind him.
• Qin Shaofeng introduced himself to Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor as a First-generation disciple of Endless Mountain and named his master as the master of the Endless Prison branch.
• Qin Shaofeng praised Ximen Bingning and offered her a defensive treasure if she chose him at the Heavenly Machine Banquet.
• Ximen Bingning asked what Qin Shaofeng had done to her, and Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor warned him not to go too far.

Qin Shaofeng learned that Long Tianyin was coming for Ximen Bingning and secretly prepared the courtyard to protect her. He invited the gathered powers inside, while Luo San insulted them at the gate and turned their anger toward Qin Shaofeng.

• Long Tianyin ordered his men to investigate after hearing that someone had entered the Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor’s courtyard before him.
• Ximen Bingning identified Long Tianyin and told Qin Shaofeng that he had harassed her and might have abducted her without her master's protection.
• Qin Shaofeng scattered debris around the courtyard and gave Ximen Bingning a foxtail grass stalk that let her control the courtyard’s deadly formation.
• Qin Shaofeng told the Heavenly Saint Old Ancestor to let everyone come in, then had Luo San open the gate for seven groups of visitors.
• Luo San announced that Qin Shaofeng had the Old Ancestor’s permission to meet them and ordered the visitors to get lost, making the gray-robed gatekeeper realize Qin Shaofeng had turned everyone against him.
