Wang Cheng met Illusion Spirit King after learning she knew he had enslaved Divine Eye King and had discovered the Unexplored Land. Illusion Spirit King offered to cooperate against the Demon Race Planet Masters, and Wang Cheng made his agreement conditional on one request.

• King Mi Cheng told Wang Cheng that Illusion Spirit King wanted to meet him, and Wang Cheng agreed.
• Illusion Spirit King explained that a Soul Slave within the Demon Race had revealed Wang Cheng’s enslavement of Divine Eye King and the Unexplored Land.
• Wang Cheng learned that Five Willow King and two other Demon Race Planet Masters were recruiting allies because they could not oppose him alone.
• Illusion Spirit King offered to share everything her Soul Slave knew and join Wang Cheng against the Demon Race group.
• Wang Cheng agreed to work with Illusion Spirit King only if she fulfilled a request.

Wang Cheng persuaded Illusion Spirit King to stop secretly searching for Ji Qing and Hong while pretending to continue the hunt, then met her at the Divine Bee Nest to learn the Demon Race’s forces. After discovering that twelve Feng Wang had assembled without a Planet Master Invincible, Wang Cheng set out with Illusion Spirit King for the Unexplored Land.

• Wang Cheng asked Illusion Spirit King to end her secret search for Ji Qing and Hong while keeping up the appearance of searching, and she ordered a disciple to carry out his request.

• Illusion Spirit King reached the Divine Bee Nest and told Wang Cheng that the Demon Race had gathered twelve Feng Wang, including two Planet Master Limits, and would not bring a Planet Master Invincible.
• Wang Cheng took Illusion Spirit King with him and headed toward the Unexplored Land.

Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King entered the Unexplored Land in the Seventh Divine Bee Nest before Five Willow King’s group could arrive. As they headed toward its deeper regions, Wang Cheng found a bottle of Divine Bee Dew and suspected the area might be the nest’s Core Land.

• Wang Cheng detected and killed a concealed watcher sent by Five Willow King near the passage to the Unexplored Land.
• King Huanxin reported that Five Willow King’s group was already on its way, so Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King hurried into the passage.
• Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King reached clusters of oval beehive structures, which Wang Cheng recognized as similar to the shields made by a token from the civilization that built the Divine Bee Nest.
• As they passed a second cluster, Wang Cheng secretly used Opportunity Points and obtained a bottle of Divine Bee Dew.
• Wang Cheng kept the discovery to himself and grew excited at the possibility that the Unexplored Land was the Core Land of the Seventh Divine Bee Nest.

Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King explored deeper into the Unexplored Land and found a vast hive structure that resisted teleportation. When Wang Cheng sent Divine Eye King inside to investigate, a devastating energy beam erupted and killed him instantly, leaving Wang Cheng wary of what lay within.

• Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King chose the middle passage and sent Soul Slaves to scout the other two routes.
• They found an enormous hive cluster, and Wang Cheng and Illusion Spirit King each headed for a structure to search for treasures.
• Wang Cheng failed to find anything with Opportunity Grasping and discovered that he could not teleport into the largest hive structure.
• Wang Cheng summoned Divine Eye King and ordered him to break open the hive structure, then enter it.
• A silver-blue energy beam burst from the entrance and killed Divine Eye King, leaving Wang Cheng staring anxiously into the dark interior.

Wang Cheng discovered that patterns on a giant statue matched secret patterns on his token, suggesting the statue concealed a major secret. With the Demon Race approaching and little time to investigate, he decided to use his trump card to keep them from discovering it.

• Wang Cheng sent an ordinary Immortal to scout the hive, then entered after the energy attack failed to recur.
• Wang Cheng explored the palaces around a thirty-thousand-li statue resembling a giant Worker Bee.
• Wang Cheng noticed that patterns on the statue matched part of the Secret patterns on his Receive and Guide token, then found that the statue contained additional patterns.
• Wang Cheng realized the extra patterns might unlock a hidden secret, but the Demon Race was due to arrive soon.
• Wang Cheng decided he might need to reveal his trump card to prevent the Demon Race from discovering the statue's secret.

Wang Cheng explored six palaces in the Divine Bee Nest and found a vast pool of Divine Bee Dew before learning that the Demon Race was approaching. He planned an ambush with Illusion Spirit King and concealed the Demon Emperor Hall, while twenty powerful Demon Race Planet Masters flew toward them.

• Wang Cheng explored six palaces, found the corpses of twelve Planet Master-level Immortals, and discovered a pool filled with thousands of kilograms of Divine Bee Dew.

• Wang Cheng proposed ambushing the Demon Race and asked Illusion Spirit King to have her Soul Slave, Cave Rat King, cooperate with him.
• Wang Cheng concealed the Demon Emperor Hall against the tunnel wall, and Illusion Spirit King flew away to avoid alerting the approaching Demon Race.
• Twenty Demon Race Planet Masters, including three Planet Master Limits, flew toward the area as Illusion Spirit King wondered whether Immeasurable King could handle them.

Wang Cheng launched a coordinated ambush on the approaching Demon Race Planet Masters, using Xikaya’s Soul Attack and an Insectoid Legion strike to disrupt them. Cave Rat King betrayed the group by poisoning Divine Power King, who was then targeted by another attack as the chapter ended.

• Wang Cheng waited for the Demon Race Planet Masters to approach while Cave Rat King secretly moved closer to Divine Power King.
• Wang Cheng gave the signal, and Xikaya unleashed a Soul Attack that left most of the Demon Race Planet Masters dazed.
• The Insectoid Legion attacked, and Divine Power King and another Planet Master Limit were injured while shielding the formation.
• Cave Rat King stabbed Divine Power King with a poisoned dagger and fled, shocking the Demon Race Planet Masters.
• Divine Power King’s Divine Body weakened from the poison, and a piercing black light shot toward him.

Wang Cheng used Demon Emperor Hall and Xikaya’s attacks to overwhelm the Demon Race Planet Masters, nearly killing Divine Power King. The Demon Race decided to retreat as Wang Cheng prepared another combined assault.

• Demon Emperor Hall’s black light shattered Divine Power King’s Divine Body, and a Planet Master Limit stored him in a World Ring to save him.
• The nineteen remaining Demon Race Planet Masters joined forces and clashed with the black palace, but the impact injured them and revealed it as Immeasurable King’s disguised spaceship.
• Demon Light King identified the palace as a valuable Palace-type Treasure, and the Demon Race Planet Masters realized Immeasurable King had ambushed them.
• Wang Cheng recovered inside Demon Emperor Hall and told Xikaya to coordinate the Insectoid Legion’s attack while continuing her Soul Attack.
• Wang Cheng powered up Demon Emperor Hall as the ten thousand Zerg gathered energy, and the Demon Race Planet Masters agreed to withdraw rather than keep fighting.

Wang Cheng and Xikaya routed the Demon Race Planet Masters, but Demon Light King escaped with the survivors inside a powerful bead. News of Wang Cheng’s Palace-type Treasure and the battle spread across the Four peak tribes, while Wang Cheng exposed Demon Light King’s treasure in return.

• Wang Cheng and Xikaya pursued the nineteen Demon Race Planet Masters, killing five and letting Xikaya enslave two before Demon Light King escaped with the survivors inside a blue-green bead.
• Wang Cheng returned to the Divine Bee Nest buildings, where Illusion Spirit King watched him warily because he had fought alongside a Zerg Mother Empress.
• Illusion Spirit King relaxed after Wang Cheng left for the largest beehive structure, then told Cave Rat King that he would return with her to the Human Race.

• Wang Cheng told the City Lord of Chaos that he had met the Military Merit requirements and planned to return to Chaos City.
• The City Lord of Chaos realized Wang Cheng had enslaved the Zerg Mother Empress and decided to send a message to Ming An Venerable about protecting him.
• Wang Cheng finished deciphering the secret patterns in the Seventh Divine Bee Nest and activated the Receive and Guide tokens at the Alien Beast Statue.
• When a Soul Slave could not pass the barrier around the silvery-white light in the statue’s eye, Wang Cheng decided to investigate it himself.

Wang Cheng arrived in a vast world and learned that the Du'e Clan had fallen into a purge after Terenus killed the High Priest and seized power. He suspected Terenus had become a Cosmic Venerable and weighed the danger of confronting him.

• Wang Cheng activated the token and appeared in a silver beam between a fleeing Du'e World Lord and his pursuers.
• Wang Cheng stopped the fleeing World Lord, while Xikaya incapacitated the pursuers and made their leader her Soul Slave.
• Xikaya learned the Du'e Clan's language from her Soul Slave and helped Wang Cheng learn that Terenus had killed the High Priest and begun purging his followers.
• Wang Cheng concluded that Terenus might be a newly advanced Cosmic Venerable, but warned himself that the enemy could still be far stronger than he could face.

Wang Cheng learned that the Du'e Clan's Bee God's Wings had been hidden in one of ninety-nine Treasure Boxes and found one box on Mogu, but it was empty. After enslaving Mogu, Wang Cheng began questioning him about the boxes.

• Wang Cheng questioned a World Lord about the Du'e Clan's treasures and learned that the High Priest had hidden the Bee God's Wings in one of ninety-nine Treasure Boxes.
• The World Lord identified Mogu as one of the ninety-nine World Lords who had carried a box, and Wang Cheng ordered the box searched.
• Wang Cheng opened Mogu's box using patterns linked to the Alien Beast Statue, but found it empty.
• Wang Cheng learned about other Du'e Clan treasures, then placed the World Lord in his World Ring and ordered Xikaya to enslave Mogu.
• After Mogu woke and saluted Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng asked him to explain more about the Treasure Boxes.

Mogu revealed that the High Priest had left instructions for whoever could open the Treasure Box through its patterns to meet Elder Jigusi, and Wang Cheng proved he was that person. As Wang Cheng waited to meet Jigusi, he pieced together that the High Priest had been trying to contact the Du'e Clan beyond this world, though their fate remained uncertain.

• Mogu told Wang Cheng that the High Priest had sent him into hiding with a Treasure Box and instructed him to bring any pattern-skilled opener to Elder Jigusi.
• Wang Cheng opened and resealed the Treasure Box with its patterns, then disguised himself as a Du'e Clan member and told Mogu to keep their plans secret.
• Jigusi directed Wang Cheng and Mogu to the Keluol Mountains, where Wang Cheng opened a second patterned box after eliminating the remaining World Lords.
• As he waited for Jigusi, Wang Cheng reasoned that the High Priest had been waiting for Du'e Clan refugees from the Outside World to return with the token, but they might have been wiped out or otherwise lost.

Wang Cheng pretended to be an emissary named Duormo and gained Jigusi’s trust, learning that Terenus was an alien clone who had killed the High Priest and become a Cosmic Venerable. Jigusi revealed that he still possessed the Divine Bee Wings and offered to show them to Wang Cheng, who considered taking them.

• Wang Cheng claimed to be an emissary named Duormo, and Jigusi welcomed him without suspicion.
• Jigusi told Wang Cheng that Terenus was an alien clone who had killed the High Priest and become a Cosmic Venerable.
• Wang Cheng told Jigusi that the Du'e Clan’s homeland had become a battlefield for the Four Great Peak Races and their allies.
• Jigusi said Lord Divine Bee might return and revealed that the real Divine Bee Wings were still in his hands.
• Jigusi offered to show Wang Cheng the Divine Bee Wings, and Wang Cheng accepted while considering his next move.

Wang Cheng ambushed Jigusi after discovering he suspected the disguise, then enslaved him and learned why he had planned to lead Wang Cheng to the Divine Bee Wings. Jigusi revealed the wings could unleash a devastating attack, and Wang Cheng left with him to claim the treasure.

• After leaving the mountain range, Wang Cheng and Xikaya ambushed Jigusi and subdued him with a Void Divine Power attack and a Soul Attack.
• Xikaya enslaved Jigusi, and Wang Cheng gave him God Bee Dew to restore his Divine Body.
• Jigusi admitted he had realized Wang Cheng was an impostor and had planned to use the Divine Bee Wings to kill him and reclaim the Jie Yin Token.
• Jigusi revealed that the Divine Bee Wings could unleash a powerful indiscriminate attack and named the three Clan Protecting Treasures left by Bee God.
• Wang Cheng ordered Jigusi to take him to the Divine Bee Wings, and Jigusi agreed.

Wang Cheng learned that he needed the Divine Bee’s blood and a Jie Yin Token to claim the Divine Bee Wings, a Supreme Treasure left behind for the Du'e Clan. After discovering the clan’s likely fate beyond the sanctuary, he promised Jigusi he would take some survivors out and find them a place to live.

• Wang Cheng found the enormous Divine Bee Wings underground, but his Origin Force could not activate them because they were restricted to the Divine Bee’s blood.
• Jigusi told Wang Cheng that the blood was sealed in the Bee God Hall and could only be released with a Jie Yin Token, of which the Du'e Clan had nine.
• Wang Cheng revealed that he had obtained his token from a few ordinary Immortals, and Jigusi realized what that implied about the Du'e Clan beyond the sanctuary.
• Wang Cheng promised to take some Du'e Clansmen with him and find them a place to settle, and Jigusi gratefully accepted his offer.

Wang Cheng learned about the Bee God's blood in the Holy City and infiltrated the city to retrieve it. He discovered that Terenus had moved into the Bee God Hall and heavily guarded it, making a direct confrontation likely.

• Wang Cheng questioned Jigusi about the Holy City and Bee God Hall, then set out with the Divine Bee Wings stored in his World Ring.
• Wang Cheng avoided teleporting into the Holy City because Terenus could detect him, and flew toward it inside the invisible Demon Emperor Hall.
• Wang Cheng captured and interrogated Jigusi's contact, confirming the Immortal had been turned and could take him into the Holy City.
• After entering the Holy City, Wang Cheng learned that Terenus had moved into the Bee God Hall and stationed Immortals and a Feng Wang there.
• Wang Cheng suspected Terenus had discovered something about the Bee God's blood and concluded he would have to fight to obtain it.

Wang Cheng sent King Jiumu to draw Terenus away from the Holy City, then attacked the Bee God Hall and activated the Jie Yin Token to claim the God Bee Blood. Terenus killed King Jiumu and teleported away as the token’s yellow light entered the mural.

• Wang Cheng chose King Jiumu to lure a Cosmic Venerable away from the Holy City and warned him that the mission would probably cost his life.
• After three days, King Jiumu reported that a Cosmic Venerable had appeared, and Wang Cheng ordered him to keep the man occupied.
• Wang Cheng teleported to the Bee God Hall, where Xikaya’s Soul Attack killed the Immortals inside, and Wang Cheng killed the surviving Planet Master.
• Wang Cheng found the markings hidden in the mural and activated them with the Jie Yin Token, sending yellow light into the mural.
• Terenus crushed King Jiumu with a flash of black light and vanished from the mountain range.
