Tai Xudong merged Taian City into Dongxuan City while preserving his independence through a new Demon Hunting Army. Ye Qingxuan chose to influence Xingluo State rather than unify it, then arranged a banquet and a Demon Extermination Order to gather its leaders and suppress the Azure Devil Race.

• Tai Xudong considered dissolving Taian City and merging it into Dongxuan City, and Liu Ruyun supported his decision without trying to dissuade him.

• Ye Qingxuan issued a Demon Extermination Order, increasing mission rewards tenfold for Demon Hunting Armies suppressing Azure Devil Race in Xingluo State.

Jiang Yinyin received Ye Qingxuan’s summons while Xingze Jun, Bai Li, and Li Feiyun discussed Dongxuan City’s invitation. The gathering began in the East Xuan Blessed Land, where Li Feiyun insulted Ye Qingxuan and Xingze Jun hurried to distance Xingluo City from him.

• Jiang Yinyin left the Yinyin Demon Hunting Army’s garrison to oversee Dongxuan City’s affairs at Ye Qingxuan’s request.

• Ye Qingxuan appeared before the assembled guests, and Li Feiyun mocked his grand airs.
• Xingze Jun immediately apologized to Ye Qingxuan and declared that Li Feiyun spoke for himself, while Xingluo City would continue following Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan killed Li Feiyun after the latter challenged his authority, then secured the powers of Xingluo State’s agreement to establish a Demon Hunter Guild. He later began refining Li Feiyun’s sealed corpse to test whether its cultivation essence could advance a Sixth-grade Spirit Vein Source toward Seventh-grade.

• Li Feiyun demanded a battle with Ye Qingxuan or an end to Xingluo City’s tribute, but Ye Qingxuan suppressed and killed him with the Seven-Colored Giant Pagoda.

• After Ye Qingxuan left, Jiang Yinyin explained the guild’s establishment to the assembled powers.
• At the core of the Spirit Vein beneath Wan Ling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan used Rule Dao Fire to temper Li Feiyun’s corpse and began testing whether its essence could nourish a Sixth-grade Spirit Vein Source.

Ye Qingxuan established the Demon Hunter Guild and sent it to clear demonic beasts across Xingluo State, while Jiang Yinyin accepted the Treasure Pavilion’s merger into Dongxuan City. As Ye Qingxuan refined Li Feiyun’s corpse to advance his spirit vein, the corpse suddenly vanished before the seventh spirit rune could fully form.

• Ye Qingxuan refused to meet the Treasure Pavilion’s pavilion master, and Jiang Yinyin accepted the pavilion’s merger into Dongxuan City.
• Ye Qingxuan used his rule dao fire to refine Li Feiyun’s corpse and feed its essence into a sixth-grade Spirit Vein Source.
• After forty-nine days, the Spirit Vein Source’s six golden spirit runes reached perfection and its seventh rune began to emerge, but Li Feiyun’s corpse turned into starlight and disappeared.

Ye Qingxuan refined Li Feiyun’s Spiritual Power Void Realm and fused its energy into the Sixth-grade Spirit Vein beneath East Xuan Blessed Land, advancing it to Seventh-grade. The breakthrough strengthened Dongxuan City, while Ye Qingxuan considered the risks of cultivators relying on the Azure Devil Realm for their progress.

• Ye Qingxuan refined Li Feiyun’s Spiritual Power Void Realm in the Rule Dao Fire for three months, stripping away its rules and leaving Pure Energy.
• Ye Qingxuan fused the Pure Energy with the Sixth-grade Spirit Vein Source beneath East Xuan Blessed Land.
• Three days later, the Spirit Vein advanced to Seventh-grade, and Ye Qingxuan released the seal on East Xuan Blessed Land.
• Dongxuan City’s cultivators felt the surge of Spiritual Energy and discussed the Spirit Vein’s advancement and its benefits.
• Ye Qingxuan watched the city celebrate and reflected that reliance on hunting the Azure Devil Race and refining World Origin could endanger cultivators if that path disappeared.

After thirty years of closed-door cultivation, Ye Qingxuan had brought his Minor Divine Abilities to Great Accomplishment and prepared to forge a Low-grade Spirit Treasure Boundary Suppressing Pagoda. He planned to use accumulated Seventh-grade Starlight Stones for the materials and test whether the pagoda could greatly strengthen his World Suppressing ability.

• Ye Qingxuan noted that he lacked the Contribution Points to exchange for a Tier Seven Boundary Stone but had accumulated more than seventeen thousand cubic meters of Seventh-grade Starlight Stones.

Ye Qingxuan exchanged Seventh-grade Starlight Stone for Tier Seven Boundary Stone and spent forty-five years refining several Boundary Suppressing Pagodas. He brought his main pagoda’s Boundary Suppressing Rules to the Third Layer Realm and began its final shaping.

• Ye Qingxuan exchanged thirteen thousand cubic of Seventh-grade Starlight Stone for ten thousand cubic of Tier Seven Boundary Stone through his Disciple Token.
• Grand Elder Yao Qiudao noticed the exchange and remarked that Cen Zhe’s new disciple seemed unusual before returning to his enlightenment.
• Ye Qingxuan began refining several Boundary Suppressing Pagodas in Qingxuan Blessed Land, intending to make them Three-star Low-grade Spirit Treasures.
• Over forty-five years, Ye Qingxuan used nearly six thousand cubic of Tier Seven Boundary Stone to raise the main pagoda’s Boundary Suppressing Rules to the Third Layer Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan struck Dao Seals into the pagoda and called for it to gather spirit and take shape.

Ye Qingxuan forged a Three-star Low-grade Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and prepared his clone to enter the Azure Devil Realm to pursue the Azure Devil Race’s Tier 8 Demon Vein Source. After learning that his old friends Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao had died there, he left Qingxuan Blessed Land in his clone, vowing to make the Azure Devil Race pay.

• Ye Qingxuan asked Bai Zichun to check the sect’s Golden Booklet, which revealed that Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao had fallen in the Azure Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan sent the news to Bai Jiawei, gave his clone a Storage Ring and the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda, then entered the Azure Devil Realm through a Realm Gate.

Ye Qingxuan entered the Azure Devil Realm through Xingluo State’s Wormhole Passage and began raising his clone’s cultivation in seclusion. Meanwhile, Xueyu led the Crimson Demon Hunting Army against the Canggu Tribe, launching an attack with the seventh-tier White Tiger Breaking Sha Military Formation.

• Ye Qingxuan traveled through Xingluo State’s Wormhole Passage into the Ancient Desolate Minor Devil Realm and surveyed nearby Azure Devil Tribes and human forces.
• Ye Qingxuan found Xueyu preparing to attack a seventh-tier Azure Devil Tribe guarded by a Void Glimpse Realm expert, then chose to improve his clone’s cultivation first.
• Ye Qingxuan hid in a secluded cave, set up a concealing formation, and began absorbing Spirit Crystals to raise his clone’s cultivation.
• Xueyu gathered more than a hundred members of the Crimson Demon Hunting Army and formed the seventh-tier White Tiger Breaking Sha Military Formation into a giant tiger.
• A Void Glimpse Realm expert from the Canggu Tribe challenged Xueyu, who ordered the Crimson Giant Tiger to attack.

Xueyu defeated and severely injured a Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil Race opponent while leading the Crimson Demon Hunting Army in destroying his tribe, then gathered the spoils and prepared to return to the Dihuan Realm. A Void Glimpse Realm Peak Azure Devil Race member and the wounded foe blocked their escape, leaving Xueyu facing two enemies as she readied five Tier Seven Talismans.

• Xueyu used the White Tiger Breaking Sha Military Formation to fight the Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil Race member, whose attacks threatened his tribe’s Formation Barrier.
• When the enemy split his power to protect the tribe, Xueyu struck and severely injured him, and the resulting aftershock shattered the barrier and annihilated most of the tribe.
• The wounded Azure Devil Race member fled, while Xueyu withdrew the formation, killed the injured survivors, and collected the tribe’s treasures, including one Seventh-Tier Demon Vein Source.
• Xueyu ordered the Crimson Demon Hunting Army to return to the Dihuan Realm, but a Void Glimpse Realm Peak Azure Devil Race member appeared and demanded their surrender.
• The wounded opponent returned alongside the peak-level reinforcer and called for the humans to be ground to dust, while Xueyu silently took out five Tier Seven Talismans.

Ye Qingxuan’s clone arrived in time to save Xueyu and the Crimson Demon Hunting Army from two Azure Devil Race experts, then ordered them to escape with teleport talismans. After they vanished, Ye Qingxuan erased their traces and faced the captives as an approaching Void Comprehension Realm enemy drew near.

• Xueyu prepared five Tier Seven Top-grade Talismans as a Void Glimpse Realm Peak Azure Devil attacked his group with Azure Wave Sea Domain.
• Ye Qingxuan’s Boundary Suppressing Pagoda shattered the attack and restrained both Azure Devil Race experts.
• Xueyu and the Crimson Demon Hunting Army thanked Ye Qingxuan, who told them to return to the Dihuan Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan warned Xueyu to use the teleport talismans, and Xueyu transported the entire group away.
• Ye Qingxuan erased the group’s lingering aura and turned to the captured Azure Devil experts while explaining his clone had barely entered the Void Comprehension Realm.

Ye Qingxuan sealed two Azure Devil experts and hid his traces as Xie Litian investigated the destruction of his tribe and the disappearance of his general. After stabilizing his clone at the Void Comprehension Realm Early Stage, Ye Qingxuan secretly set out to hunt Xie Litian.

• Ye Qingxuan sealed two Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil experts in the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and returned to his cave to cultivate.
• Xie Litian arrived at the devastated battlefield, found that the attackers’ auras had been erased, and suspected the Qingmu or Yuanwu Dynasty.
• Xie Litian flew east to question the neighboring dynasties, then later returned to his palace without learning who had attacked his forces.
• Ye Qingxuan’s clone stabilized its Void Comprehension Realm Early Stage cultivation after seven days of absorbing Spirit Crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan concealed his auras with the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and Deceive Heaven, then secretly headed toward Xie Litian’s direction to hunt him.

Ye Qingxuan investigated Litian King City, prepared a purified mountain range as a battlefield, and lured the Azure Devil Litian King out by attacking a nearby tribe. He revealed his Void Comprehension Realm cultivation and ambushed the king, whose counterattack sent their battle into a destructive clash.

• Ye Qingxuan captured and searched the soul of a Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil, learning Litian King City had a Void Comprehension Realm king, around twelve Void Glimpse Realm experts, and a suspected Eighth-grade city guard formation.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to draw the Azure Devil Litian King away from the city and prepared a remote mountain range by setting up formations to purify its Devil Qi.
• Ye Qingxuan attacked a nearby Tier 7 Azure Devil Tribe while concealing his true cultivation, prompting the Azure Devil Litian King to leave Litian King City and pursue him.
• Ye Qingxuan destroyed the tribe, gathered its treasures, and fled toward the prepared mountain range, leaving his Qi Aura behind to guide the king after him.
• When the Azure Devil Litian King approached, Ye Qingxuan revealed his Void Comprehension Realm cultivation and attacked with Boundary Suppressing and Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill.
• The Azure Devil Litian King countered with Golden Devil Core Shatter, and their clashing powers devastated the surrounding mountain range.

Ye Qingxuan used the Death Curse Technique and the Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill to kill Azure Devil Litian King, though Litian King transmitted information about him before dying. Ye Qingxuan headed for Litian King City to seize its resources, while Qingmu King and Yuanwu King agreed to report the warning about the Human Race cultivator.

• Azure Devil Litian King’s Netherworld Armor blocked most of the Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill’s destructive force, so Ye Qingxuan cast the Death Curse Technique against him.
• Azure Devil Litian King fused the Netherworld Armor into himself to resist the curse, but Ye Qingxuan intensified the grinding mill and attacked him from within and without.
• Azure Devil Litian King transmitted information about Ye Qingxuan before the grinding mill and curse shattered his Rule Power and killed him.
• Ye Qingxuan stored Azure Devil Litian King’s corpse in the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and flew toward Litian King City to seize its Tier 8 Spirit Vein Source and other resources.
• Qingmu King warned Yuanwu King that Litian King had likely been killed by the Human Race cultivator and urged him to take the threat seriously.
• Yuanwu King agreed with Qingmu King to report the information about Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan attacked Litian King City with an enormous barrage of Nuclear Explosion Pills and talismans, then used two divine abilities to crack its guardian formation. Yuanwu King persuaded Qingmu King to observe the battle from afar, and Ye Qingxuan sensed their arrival but continued his assault.

• Ye Qingxuan approached Litian King City in concealment and prepared tens of thousands of Nuclear Explosion Pills and talismans to overwhelm its Tier 8 guardian formation.
• Ye Qingxuan brought his Storage Ring close to the barrier, released and detonated its contents, then struck the formation with Minor Divine Ability: Boundary Suppressing and Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill, opening fine cracks.
• Yuanwu King urged Qingmu King to go observe the attacker at Litian King City, and Qingmu King reluctantly agreed to keep their distance.
• Yuanwu King and Qingmu King watched from one hundred thousand li away and questioned whether Ye Qingxuan seemed powerful enough to have killed Litian King.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed the two Azure Devil Kings but chose to keep attacking Litian King City rather than flee.

Ye Qingxuan broke into Litian King City, plundered its resources, and hid his haul before drawing Yuanwu King and Qingmu King into pursuit. He slowed down to confront them, and as the two Azure Devil Kings closed in, Yuanwu King launched a full assault while Qingmu King restrained Ye Qingxuan from a distance.

• Ye Qingxuan shattered Litian King City's formation barrier, then excavated its Demon Vein Sources and plundered its Tier 8 Resource Vault.
• Ye Qingxuan began removing the city's Tier 8 formation bases, but fled after Yuanwu King and Qingmu King approached; he hid his collected gains in the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda along the way.

• Yuanwu King attacked Ye Qingxuan with Evil Martial Blade, while Ye Qingxuan blocked the blades with Minor Five Elements Shield.
• Qingmu King used Azure Wood Binding to obstruct Ye Qingxuan, and Yuanwu King closed in with Evil Martial Blade and Yuanwu Battle Body as Qingmu King kept his distance and waited for an opportunity.

Ye Qingxuan used his clone’s final strength to strike Qingmu King with the Life and Death Diagram, forcing him to flee, then sent a new clone back to retrieve the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda. After recovering the pagoda and its spoils, Ye Qingxuan discovered a sealed Azure Devil captive and reviewed the Demon Vein Sources he had collected.

• Yuanwu King shattered Ye Qingxuan’s Boundary Suppressing Pagoda Phantom with his mid-grade Spirit Treasure gauntlets, while Ye Qingxuan defended himself with the Minor Five Elements Shield.
• Ye Qingxuan trapped Yuanwu King in a Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill, but Qingmu King attacked with his Azure Wood Divine Tree and other abilities after mistaking Ye Qingxuan’s weakened aura for exhaustion.
• Ye Qingxuan transformed into the Life and Death Diagram and branded Qingmu King, draining his life force and forcing him to flee; Yuanwu King broke free after Ye Qingxuan’s clone perished.
• Ye Qingxuan formed a new clone, sent it through Xingluo Dongxuan City into the Azure Devil Realm, and had it retrieve the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda three days later.
• Ye Qingxuan discovered a Void Glimpse Realm Peak Azure Devil member still sealed inside the pagoda and chose to keep him alive for now.
• Ye Qingxuan counted his spoils, including one Tier 8, twelve Seventh-Tier, and sixty-seven Tier Six Demon Vein Sources, along with over ten thousand lower-tier sources.

Ye Qingxuan integrated more than ten thousand purified Spirit Vein Sources into Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Qingxuan Blessed Land, greatly increasing his domain’s resources and growth potential. He met with Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er, gave them Azure Devil Race Corpses to aid their cultivation, and sent them into seclusion.

• Ye Qingxuan sacrificed the Demon Vein Sources and integrated the resulting Spirit Vein Sources into Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Qingxuan Blessed Land, adding a Tier 8 Spirit Vein and greatly increasing Qingxuan Cave Heaven’s energy absorption and crystal production.
• Ye Qingxuan assessed how the Azure Devil Realm’s resources could help Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advance, while recognizing that the Dihuan Realm had to survive the invasion for his gains to matter.
• Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er arrived to greet Ye Qingxuan after the new Spirit Vein’s integration.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu sixty Azure Devil Race Corpses to raise their cultivation, and told them to seek him out after reaching Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm for a chance to gain experience in the Azure Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Liu Yun'er and Liu Cai'er around two hundred Azure Devil Race Corpses and instructed them to raise their cultivation gradually to the Nascent Soul Realm over thirty years.
• Liu Yun'er and Liu Cai'er asked for more time outside their Blessed Lands, but Ye Qingxuan said he would consider it after they reached Spirit Transformation Realm, then sent all four into closed-door cultivation.
