Qin Shaofeng assembled a team and entered the Demonic Cultivation Instance Secret Realm to hunt Demonic Cultivated Beasts for his Extreme Upgrade Mission. After reviving Du Meng and recruiting him, Qin Shaofeng led his companions toward a small pack of demon-wolf-like beasts.

• Qin Shaofeng led the group to hunt their first target, a pack of seven or eight demon-wolf-like Demonic Cultivated Beasts.

Qin Shaofeng discovered that lightning power severely restrained the demonic cultivated beasts and that killing them could yield enormous Experience Points. However, Gong Qingzi absorbed most of the gains as she transformed into his familiar, leaving Qin Shaofeng unable to increase his own Experience Points; he decided to strengthen his companions before seeking Heavenly Origin Realm Demonic Cultivated Leaders.

• Qin Shaofeng and his companions defeated eight demonic cultivated wolves, and he found that lightning attacks killed them with ease.
• Qin Shaofeng shared Chidori Stream with the team after learning that lightning restrained all demonic cultivated beasts.

• Qin Shaofeng decided to raise Geng Qiutong and the others to the fourth level of the Earth Origin Realm with special Fourth-grade Ninefold Spirit Pills before searching for Heavenly Origin Realm Demonic Cultivated Leaders.

Qin Shaofeng’s team grew stronger in the dungeon secret realm as Baixue and Tiger Lord advanced to the seventh level of the Earth Origin Realm. Outside the realm, Xu Feiyang concluded that Xu Tianyang might be dead and decided to infiltrate other sects to investigate.

After Geng Qutong, Little Princess, and Du Meng reached the seventh layer of the Earth Origin Realm, Qin Shaofeng led the team to attack their first Demonic Cultivated Leader. He used their shared power to unleash an enormous Susanoo and wiped out the wolf pack, leaving the group stunned by his strength.

• Geng Qutong, Little Princess, and Du Meng advanced to the seventh layer of the Earth Origin Realm, while Big Meng also reached that layer through the Team-up Card.

Qin Shaofeng and his companions prepared to complete the Extreme Upgrade mission by hunting the Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen, the most feasible Demonic Cultivated Lord they had found. They entered her valley and, as the enormous bee swarm began to overwhelm Susanoo, Qin Shaofeng expanded it to fifty meters for the fight ahead.

• Qin Shaofeng and his companions reached the tenth level of the Earth Origin Realm, and their shared Origin Power Value exceeded three million.
• Qin Shaofeng searched for a Demonic Cultivated Lord but rejected the powerful wolf and tiger lords and found dangerous territory farther west; he ultimately chose the Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen.
• With thirteen days left before the mission deadline, Qin Shaofeng and his companions approached the queen’s valley and checked their supplies.
• Qin Shaofeng activated Shared Power and summoned a forty-meter Susanoo to protect the group as they advanced through attacks from the bee swarm.
• The Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen sent more than a million bees, including Heavenly Origin Realm attackers, against the Susanoo.
• As Susanoo began to struggle, Qin Shaofeng spent one million Origin Power Value to expand it to fifty meters.

• Tiger Lord used Thunderlight on Qin Shaofeng, who unleashed a massive Lightning Release: Kirin that nearly wiped out the Demonic Black Armored Bees.
• The Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen emerged and pierced through the Lightning Kirin as it charged at Susanoo.
• The Little Princess used Phoenix Rebirth to restore the group’s Origin Power, and Du Meng covered Susanoo with Glazed Golden Body before the Queen struck it.
• Qin Shaofeng and the others attacked the Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen, but it remained unharmed while its attacks nearly wore away Susanoo’s protection.

Qin Shaofeng used Kamui to evade the Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen’s strongest attacks, then joined forces with Little Fox and the others to kill it. He completed the Extreme Dungeon Upgrade with the highest ten-star rating.

• After the group replenished their Origin Power Values, the Demonic Black Armored Bee Queen shattered Susanoo and fired a black lightning arc at Qin Shaofeng.
• Qin Shaofeng used Kamui Phasing to avoid the arc and drew the queen’s attacks while he remained untouchable for one minute.
• As the phasing ended, Qin Shaofeng restored Susanoo, and Du Meng reinforced it with the Glazed Golden Body.
• Little Fox used Mental Storm and Dark Charm to bewitch the queen, allowing Qin Shaofeng to strike it with a twelvefold Thousand Mountain Fist and shatter its armor.
• The Little Princess used Phoenix Rebirth, and Qin Shaofeng combined Mental Storm with Tsukuyomi to kill the injured queen and earn the mission’s highest ten-star rating.

Qin Shaofeng and his companions received massive rewards for completing the Extreme Upgrade Mission, and he also gained a powerful fused lightning skill. After discovering that the team remained intact, Qin Shaofeng and the others chose to keep hunting Demonic Cultivated Beasts in the secret realm.

• Qin Shaofeng advanced to the ninth level of the Earth Origin Realm, while Geng Qiutong and the others rose five levels to the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

• Qin Shaofeng inspected his companions' attributes and found that their Origin Power Values exceeded his own by millions.

After leaving the dungeon secret realm, Qin Shaofeng and his companions encountered Xu Feiyang, who confronted him about the disappearance of his son, Xu Tianyang. Qin Shaofeng discovered Xu Feiyang’s overwhelming strength as the vice sect master waited for his answer.

• Qin Shaofeng inspected Xu Feiyang and learned that he was a peak Saint Origin Realm expert with 1.05 billion points of Origin Power Value.
• Xu Feiyang demanded to know whether Qin Shaofeng had his son, Xu Tianyang, after tracing Qin Shaofeng’s aura to the area where he emerged from the dungeon.

Xu Feiyang demanded to know where his son, Xu Tianyang, was, then attacked Qin Shaofeng and his companions when Qin denied knowing. After revealing that he had killed Xu Tianyang, Qin used a God-tier Summoning Card and gained a seven-hundredfold increase in his attributes as Xu Feiyang prepared to kill him.

• Qin Shaofeng denied knowing where Xu Tianyang was, so Xu Feiyang severely wounded Du Meng with a single Sword Qi attack.
• Geng Qiutong and the Little Princess charged Xu Feiyang to protect Qin, but he blasted them both away and stopped Qin from reaching them.
• Tiger Lord attacked Xu Feiyang and was sent crashing into the distance, while Little Fox's Mental Storm and Dark Charm were blocked and countered, leaving her unconscious.

• Xu Feiyang erupted in fury, and Qin Shaofeng used a God-tier Summoning Card that increased his attributes seven hundredfold.

Qin Shaofeng used a God-tier Summoning Card to multiply his Origin Power and faced Xu Feiyang with Susanoo. He survived Xu Feiyang’s strongest attacks, leaving their battle unresolved as Xu Feiyang grew furious.

• Xu Feiyang drew his sword and unleashed Flame Fire Sword, while Qin Shaofeng answered with a Divine Thunder Control Technique-enhanced Lightning Kirin.
• Qin Shaofeng used Kamui to protect the unconscious Geng Qiu Tong and the others from the explosion, and Xu Feiyang emerged humiliated that his sword attack had failed to harm Qin Shaofeng.

Xu Feiyang unleashed the Extreme Dao Phantom Sword Art against Qin Shaofeng, but Qin used True Eye and Kamui to evade his decisive strike and counterattacked with a fused punch. Xu Feiyang was seriously injured, and as he prepared to attack again, he faced Qin's glowing Dual Pupils.

• Xu Feiyang activated the Extreme Dao Phantom Sword Art and sent over a thousand phantom sword shadows at Qin Shaofeng.
• Qin Shaofeng's Susanoo and Lightning Release: Kirin were overwhelmed, but Kamui's Phasing let him evade Xu Feiyang's true-body sword strike.
• Qin Shaofeng revealed that True Eye had exposed Xu Feiyang's true form, then summoned twelve Illusion Clones from Kamui space.
• Qin Shaofeng fused the clones' Thousand Mountain Fist shadows into one attack and struck Xu Feiyang, seriously injuring him.
• Xu Feiyang suppressed his injuries, turned to attack Qin Shaofeng, and saw Qin's purple-glowing Dual Pupils with a six-pointed-star pattern.

Qin Shaofeng killed Xu Feiyang after drawing him into Tsukuyomi Space, but the battle left him badly exhausted and injured. After waking under Elder Lei’s care, Qin Shaofeng learned that Xu Feiyang’s death would weaken the Thousand Mountain Sect, and Elder Lei began to reveal the hidden reason behind the Hegemony Competition.

• Qin Shaofeng combined seventy-two Thousand Mountain Fist shadows, then used Mental Storm and Tsukuyomi to trap and kill Xu Feiyang.

• Qin Shaofeng woke in a cave with Elder Lei, who worried about the backlash from killing Xu Feiyang and explained that his death would make the Thousand Mountain Sect more vulnerable to the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Elder Lei asked Qin Shaofeng whether he knew the true reason for the Hegemony Competition, leaving Qin Shaofeng suspicious.

Qin Shaofeng learned that the Hegemony Competition selected candidates for the Divine Mansion and recovered from his injuries while preparing to enter it. As the entry date approached, he arranged for Xiang Wanshan to supply ingredients so he could make more powerful Ninefold Spirit Pills.

• Elder Lei explained that the Divine Mansion had ordered the Hegemony Competition to recruit outstanding geniuses, and that its top ten could enter in a month.
• After regaining the ability to move, Qin Shaofeng sensed that Elder Lei had less than a year to live and went to check on Little Fox, who had grown a third tail and awakened a fire-element spiritual root.
• Xiang Wanshan and Tang Qijian concealed Xu Feiyang's death by claiming he had entered secluded cultivation, while Xiang Wanshan began taking control of Divine Sword Peak's power.
• Qin Shaofeng recovered fully, gathered ingredients, and refined a small supply of fifth-grade Ninefold Spirit Pills for his upcoming trip to the Divine Mansion.
• After Qin Shaofeng showed Xiang Wanshan that the special pills could raise the cultivation of those below the seventh level of the Heavenly Origin Realm by three levels, Xiang Wanshan agreed to provide ingredients for Qin Shaofeng to refine them.

Qin Shaofeng and the other Thousand Mountain Sect quota holders boarded a flying vessel bound for the Divine Mansion. As they departed, Elder Lei revealed that he had less than a year to live and urged Xie Zijun to inherit Thunder God Peak, while Xie Zijun held on to hope inspired by Qin Shaofeng.

• Qin Shaofeng stopped leveling up before reaching the Heavenly Origin Realm, partly because Gong Qingzi was consuming his Experience Points, and waited for the day to enter the Divine Mansion.
• Xiang Qianqian returned to living as a woman and became Du Meng’s partner, while Qin Shaofeng welcomed their relationship.
• A flying vessel from the Divine Mansion arrived at the Thousand Mountain Sect, and Qin Shaofeng and the other forty-three quota holders boarded it.
• After the vessel departed, Elder Lei told Xie Zijun that he had less than a year left to live and insisted that Xie Zijun inherit Thunder God Peak before he died.
• Xie Zijun remembered Qin Shaofeng’s recent words and wondered if Qin Shaofeng might still be able to help.
