Tianfu Shop’s Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea became a sensation after a Void Glimpse Realm elder broke through using it, bringing Zhu Dafu’s shop fame and immense profits. Ye Qingxuan counted the proceeds, began refining Eighth-grade Talismans, and was surprised by a message from someone he recognized.

• Zhu Dafu accepted Sun Nanbo’s communication imprint but refused to disclose who stood behind Tianfu Shop.
• Customers flocked to Tianfu Shop after it became a Star Shop, and Void Glimpse Realm elders bought its Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea.

• Ye Qingxuan received a message on his Disciple Token and wondered if it was from her.

Luo Linger visited Ye Qingxuan to deliver Spirit Vein Sources from Liu Tai'an, and Ye Qingxuan gave her talismans and pills for her upcoming training in the Lower Realm. After thirteen years spent refining Eighth-grade Talismans, Ye Qingxuan met Ye Qingxiao, who revealed that decades of closed-door cultivation had not helped him break through to the Void Glimpse Realm.

• Luo Linger visited Ye Qingxuan and delivered thirty Third-Tier and six Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein Sources from Liu Tai'an.

• Ye Qingxiao arrived and told Ye Qingxuan that decades of closed-door cultivation in the Xuantian Secret Realm had failed to help him comprehend laws and reach the Void Glimpse Realm.

Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan about the Xuantian Secret Realm and his failed attempt to break through, so Ye Qingxuan gave him blended Enlightenment Tea to aid his comprehension. Ye Qingxiao still failed to reach the Void Glimpse Realm, but gained further insight and took home a box of Sixth-grade Enlightenment Tea; Ye Qingxuan then asked when he planned to leave the sect.

• Ye Qingxiao explained that he had spent decades in the Xuantian Secret Realm trying and failing to comprehend rules and break through to the Void Glimpse Realm.
• Ye Qingxiao said he planned to leave Xuantian Sect to travel the Dihuan Realm or enter the Azure Devil Realm for life-and-death trials.

• Ye Qingxiao emerged without breaking through, though Ye Qingxuan judged that the experience had increased his accumulated insights and future chances.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a box of Sixth-grade Enlightenment Tea, and Ye Qingxiao said he would take it home for Yu Xueqing.
• Ye Qingxuan asked whether Ye Qingxiao planned to leave Xuantian Sect soon and gain experience alone.

Ye Qingxuan advised Ye Qingxiao to train in the Lower Realm and secretly gave him a sealed Boundary Suppressing Pagoda to protect him in a crisis. He then began forging an Eighth-order Flying Ship from an Azure Wood Ancient Tree remnant, while a curious Blessed Cultivator approached the distant core area and was sent back.

• Ye Qingxiao changed his plans and decided to travel to the Lower Realm for trials after digesting his sudden-enlightenment insights.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a sealed Boundary Suppressing Pagoda containing a spiritual sense clone and reserve spirit crystals, then Ye Qingxiao returned to his cave mansion.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to forge the Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree remnant into an Eighth-order Flying Ship and began shaping it in the Eighth-order Crucible.
• Over ten springs, the crucible’s energy fluctuations spread across Qingxuan Cave Heaven as Ye Qingxuan formed the ship and its innate patterns.
• Zhang Yuangong followed the distant fluctuations toward the core area, but Ye Qingxuan teleported him back to his Blessed Land and erected a barrier to keep other Blessed Cultivators out.

Zhang Yuangong returned to his Blessed Land after Ye Qingxuan prevented him from exploring further, while Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing urged Ye Qingxuan to address Dongxuan City's stalled growth. Ye Qingxuan revealed that he would open Qingxuan Cave Heaven to Dongxuan City's Core Members, and Bai Shuqing learned its purpose and discovered Ye Qingxuan's powerful main body.

• Zhang Yuangong guessed Ye Qingxuan had sent him back to his Blessed Land and gave up exploring Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

• Ye Qingxuan opened a Realm Gate and brought Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing into Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Ye Qingxuan revealed that the Qingxuan Cave Heaven's Realm Gate could connect Xingluo Dongxuan City's core members to his cities in three other Dihuan Realm domains, allowing them to reach the Azure Devil Realm for training. He outlined plans for the city's expansion, a Tier Seven Auction, and rewards for Void Glimpse Realm subordinates.

• Ye Qingxuan showed Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian the Realm Gate, and Luo Tian admitted he had once used it to travel to Xingluo Dongxuan City.
• Ye Qingxuan summoned Xueyu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, Liu Feifeng, and Jiang Yinyin, then explained the Realm Gate's routes and his plan to open it to core members.
• Ye Qingxuan assigned Bai Shuqing to arrange relocation options for outer members and establish more Dongxuan City branch cities.

• Ye Qingxuan offered Bai Shuqing, Luo Tian, and Xueyu discounted access to seventh-tier exchanges and free Minor Divine Ability inheritances, and said Void Glimpse Realm cultivators could build a seventh-tier dojo in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Ye Qingxuan assigned Bai Shuqing, Luo Tian, and Xueyu to manage the Tier Seven Auction and acquire Azure Devil Realm resources, then approved Li Mu’s proposal to expand Dongxuan City’s influence in Xingluo State. He also announced that cultivators could apply to travel or transfer to other Great Domains in three days, while warning them to conceal their origins and avoid the Border Pass Battlefield.

• Ye Qingxuan delegated the Tier Seven Auction to Bai Shuqing, Luo Tian, and Xueyu and instructed them to trade for the powers’ accumulated Azure Devil Realm resources.

• Ye Qingxuan warned the cultivators not to reveal their origins and not to enter the Border Pass Battlefield, then dismissed the gathering.

Ye Qingxuan opened routes through Qingxuan Cave Heaven to other Great Domains and announced new travel and transfer rules for Dongxuan City members. Core Members prepared to explore distant domains, while Outer Members celebrated their chance to develop in Branch Cities and Su Jianfeng considered Mu Chunzi and Wu Jizi’s offer to lead one.

• Ye Qingxuan stabilized Realm Gates connecting Qingxuan Cave Heaven with four Great Domains and Xingluo Dongxuan City, then sent separate travel and transfer announcements to Core and Outer Members.
• Dongxuan City members reacted with shock and excitement; Jiang Yinyin chose the South Barbarian Domain, while Core Members planned their journeys and agreed to conceal their destinations.
• Mu Chunzi and Wu Jizi invited Su Jianfeng to develop with them in East Extremity Dongxuan City and offered him the City Lord position.
• Su Jianfeng asked whether they could secure Branch City leadership, and Wu Jizi and Mu Chunzi explained the eligibility rules and their prospects.
• Outer Members celebrated their transfer opportunities and anticipated surpassing Core Members, whose growing sense of superiority had fueled conflict between the two groups.

Su Jianfeng, Mu Chunzi, and Wu Jizi arranged to apply for posts in East Extremity Dongxuan City, while Dongxuan City prepared for a major auction. After Gui Sect destroyed the new branch city and killed thousands, Ye Qingxuan ordered Xueyu to lead an expedition to annihilate Gui Sect and rebuild the city at its stronghold.

• Su Jianfeng agreed to apply to become City Lord of East Extremity Dongxuan City, with Mu Chunzi and Wu Jizi as deputy City Lords, and Wu Jizi arranged to improve their chances.

• Xueyu reported that Gui Sect had destroyed East Extremity Dongxuan City and killed several thousand cultivators, enraging Ye Qingxuan.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Xueyu his World Map and ordered her to annihilate Gui Sect and rebuild the branch city at its sect stronghold.
• Xueyu summoned Li Dachui, Su Jianfeng, Mu Chunzi, Wu Jizi, and nearly two thousand cultivators, then led them aboard a flying ship toward East Extremity State.

Ye Qingxuan opened Qingxuan Cave Heaven’s realm gates to Dongxuan City’s core members, allowing them to travel between Xingluo State and three other great domains. As Xueyu and Li Dachui headed toward East Extremity State, Li Dachui remained curious about the secrets reserved for core members.

• After East Extremity Dongxuan City was destroyed, rumors spread through Xingluo State and unsettled cultivators, while Ye Qingxuan sensed hidden Void Glimpse Realm experts and waited to see whether they would act.
• Two days later, Dongxuan City’s core members gathered at Wan Ling Mountain, where Ye Qingxuan opened Qingxuan Cave Heaven and provided them with information about its realm gates.
• Jiang Yinyin, Liu Feifeng, Jiang Wen, and the other core members entered Qingxuan Cave Heaven and began teleporting to the South Barbarian, West Wilderness, and North Li Domains.
• Ye Qingxuan watched the core members spread into the three domains and welcomed the expansion of his forces beyond Xingluo State.
• On the flying boat bound for East Extremity State, Li Dachui asked Xueyu why Dongxuan City’s core members were content to remain in Xingluo State, and Xueyu told him he would learn the truth once he became a core member.

Xueyu and Li Dachui arrived at the ruins of East Extremity Dongxuan City and summoned its scattered survivors. After gathering Yuan Wuji and nearly a hundred cultivators aboard their flying boat, Xueyu headed straight for Gui Sect's stronghold, prompting Gui Sect to prepare for their arrival.

• Xueyu activated a five-colored Summoning Order above the ruins of East Extremity Dongxuan City, drawing nearby cultivators and survivors.
• Yuan Wuji led nearly a hundred survivors from their hiding place to meet Xueyu and Li Dachui, believing they had come to help them escape East Extremity State.
• Xueyu ordered Yuan Wuji and the survivors aboard the flying boat and told him to guide them to Gui Sect's stronghold.
• Two concealed Gui Sect cultivators recognized the group and reported that they were heading toward the sect instead of fleeing East Extremity State.
• Xueyu flew toward Gui Sect's stronghold as the two spies pursued and other East Extremity State cultivators followed, hoping to witness a battle.

Zong Daoji’s return to Gui Sect and the Heaven and Earth Rules’ new Living Being Destiny mechanism explained why he believed Gui Sect held his Dao Attainment Opportunity. After Gui Sect destroyed Dongxuan City’s branch stronghold, Xueyu advanced toward Gui Sect, where Zong Daoji and the sect’s experts prepared to face the approaching force.

• Zong Daoji returned to Gui Sect ten years earlier, subdued its Void Glimpse Realm experts, and took control of the sect.
• Zong Daoji sensed that the Dihuan Realm Heaven and Earth Rules had selected him to test the new Living Being Destiny mechanism, which rewarded forces that protected and cultivated living beings.
• Zong Daoji learned that Dongxuan City had acquired Gui Sect’s Death Curse Technique and sheltered someone Gui Sect pursued, so he sent an expert to investigate and ordered the destruction of Dongxuan City’s branch stronghold.
• Zong Daoji’s unease over the loss of Living Being Destiny eased after a Gui Sect expert returned from the Eastern Domain and the sect’s influence recovered.
• As Xueyu advanced toward Gui Sect, Zong Daoji asked his gathered experts how they should respond, and they agreed to activate the sect’s Grand Array to shield its low-cultivation disciples.

Xueyu brought Dongxuan City’s forces to confront Gui Sect, where Zong Daoji expected to overpower them with nine Void Glimpse Realm experts. Xueyu unleashed Ye Qingxuan’s World Map, which suppressed Gui Sect’s defenses and attacks as the sect’s destruction began.

• Zong Daoji activated Gui Sect’s guardian formation and ordered Xue Yu to attack Dongxuan City in Xingluo State and demand the Death Curse Technique.
• Xueyu and Li Dachui arrived at Gui Sect, where they faced Zong Daoji and eight other Void Glimpse Realm experts as cultivators gathered to watch.
• Xueyu released several thousand Dongxuan City cultivators from the flying boat and declared that she had come to destroy Gui Sect under the City Lord’s decree.
• Xueyu threw Ye Qingxuan’s World Map, which expanded over Gui Sect’s stronghold and revealed itself as a Mid-grade Spirit Treasure.
• Zong Daoji and Gui Sect’s experts unleashed their strongest attacks, but Ye Qingxuan’s spiritual-sense phantom commanded the World Map to suppress them as Gui Sect’s people pleaded for mercy.

Ye Qingxuan destroyed Gui Sect with the World Map, then ordered Dongxuan City’s people to rebuild a branch city on its ruins using Gui Sect’s Seventh-tier Great Formation. News of the destruction spread across East Extremity State, while the three hegemon-level forces’ stationed elders decided to request stronger replacements.

• Ye Qingxuan used the World Map to annihilate Gui Sect, preserve its spirit veins and formation bases, and refine its Seventh-Tier Sect Protecting Grand Formation for Dongxuan City.
• Void Comprehension Realm experts across East Extremity State and neighboring provinces sensed the World Map’s power, then concealed their auras rather than approaching.
• Xueyu and the Dongxuan City cultivators learned that Ye Qingxuan was a Void Comprehension Realm expert, and Ye Qingxuan declared that anyone who offended Dongxuan City would be executed, no matter how far away they were.
• Xueyu delivered Ye Qingxuan’s order for Li Dachui and the others to rebuild Dongxuan City Branch City on Gui Sect’s ruins, with its leaders granted control over the Seventh-tier Great Formation.
• Dongxuan City’s people began rebuilding as news of Gui Sect’s destruction spread, and East Extremity State’s major powers warned their disciples not to provoke Dongxuan City.
• The three elders from the Xuantian Sect, Tianyuan Sect, and Huangfu Immortal Clan agreed to report East Extremity Domain’s situation and request stronger experts to replace them.

Xue Yu prepared to pressure Dongxuan City for the Gui Sect’s Death Curse Technique while rumors drove rogue cultivators out of Xingluo Dongxuan City. Ye Qingxuan revealed that he had allowed the exodus to clear space for cultivators Dongxuan City would raise itself, and ordered Bai Shuqing to use an upcoming auction to acquire other powers’ strongholds; he then asked Luo Tian where Ye Qingshuang had gone to train.

• Xue Yu learned that another hidden force was spreading rumors against Dongxuan City, then decided to openly demand the Gui Sect’s inherited Death Curse Technique from its City Lord.
• Rumors claiming Xueyu Dongxuan Envoy and Li Dachui had fallen in East Extremity State spread through Dongxuan City, prompting many rogue cultivators to flee.
• Bai Shuqing asked Ye Qingxuan to intervene, but Ye Qingxuan explained that he had deliberately let the rumors drive rogue cultivators away so Dongxuan City could make room for its own future cultivators.
• Ye Qingxuan told Bai Shuqing to use the upcoming Tier Seven Auction to take possession of other great powers’ Xingluo State strongholds.
• Ye Qingxuan asked Luo Tian which great domain Ye Qingshuang had gone to for training.

Ye Qingxuan sent Luo Tian to protect Ye Qingshuang in the South Barbarian Domain while keeping his identity secret from her. When Gui Sect cultivator Xue Yu challenged Dongxuan City, Ye Qingxuan suppressed him to deter visitors to the upcoming auction, then ordered the rumor-spreaders killed; Xingkong Hao learned that Dongxuan City's Lord wielded Void Comprehension Realm power.

• Ye Qingxuan ordered Luo Tian to train in the South Barbarian Domain and protect Ye Qingshuang, his childhood friend whose connection to him remained hidden.
• Xue Yu of the Gui Sect arrived at Dongxuan City demanding the Gui Sect's possessions, and Ye Qingxuan crushed him beneath a mountain formed from Five Elements Rule Power.
• Ye Qingxuan ordered Xue Yu kept alive as a warning to Void Glimpse Realm experts attending Dongxuan City's upcoming Tier Seven Auction, and told Bai Shuqing to kill those who had spread rumors.
• Bai Shuqing pursued and killed rumor-spreaders, including cultivators from Xingluo City, while Luo Tian accompanied him.
• Xingkong Hao told Xingze Jun that the rule fluctuation from Dongxuan City had come from a Void Comprehension Realm cultivator, and left after Xingze questioned how he could surpass Ye Qingxuan.

After Xueyu returned from destroying Gui Sect, Ye Qingxuan rewarded her with an Ice-rule Spirit Treasure and inventoried the spoils. More than two years later, Dongxuan City's Tier Seven Auction began with Xingluo State's Void Glimpse Realm experts in attendance, while Li Mu opened the bidding with an Azure Devil corpse.

• Xueyu reported that Gui Sect had been destroyed, and Ye Qingxuan gave her a Two-star Low-grade Spirit Treasure containing Ice Profound Meaning Rules.
• Ye Qingxuan inventoried Gui Sect's resources, including Spirit Crystals, Spirit Stones, twelve Low-grade Spirit Treasures, Tier Seven Talismans, and other treasures.
• Over the next two years, Dongxuan City's victory over Gui Sect spread across nearby provinces, and its Branch Cities continued to develop as Ye Qingxuan focused on the upcoming auction.
• Xingluo State's Void Glimpse Realm experts arrived for the Tier Seven Auction and were startled to learn that the spirit mountain above Dongxuan City was formed from Five Elements Profound Meaning Rules.
• Bai Shuqing admitted the guests to Dongxuan City and escorted them to the East Xuan Blessed Land, where Li Mu prepared to host the auction with Xueyu and Bai Shuqing supporting him.
• Li Mu announced that bids required at least fifty percent payment in Azure Devil Realm Resources, then opened the auction with a Void Glimpse Realm Initial Stage Azure Devil Race Corpse.

The Tier Seven Auction ended with Dongxuan City selling Azure Devil Realm resources, talismans, and the Shocking Heaven Bell for large sums of Top-grade Spirit Stones. After the handovers, Li Mu told the departing powers that Dongxuan City would buy their bases and territories in Xingluo State, while taking Xingluo City's holdings for free.

• Ye Qingxuan watched the auction and saw the Azure Devil Race corpses sell for prices that exceeded his expectations.
• Li Mu auctioned the sealed Void Glimpse Realm Peak Azure Devil Race member, which Xing Haokong won for one hundred and ninety million Top-grade Spirit Stones.
• Li Mu sold the Tier Seven Talisman sets and the Shocking Heaven Bell, which Xingze Jun bought for thirty-one million Top-grade Spirit Stones.
• Li Mu arranged the handover of the auction items and collected the bidders' Top-grade Spirit Stones and Azure Devil Realm Resources.
• Li Mu stopped the departing powers and offered twenty million Top-grade Spirit Stones for each of their Xingluo State bases and affiliated territories, while saying Dongxuan City would take Xingluo City's holdings for free.

Ye Qingxuan used the World Map to force Xingluo State’s major powers to accept Dongxuan City’s acquisition plan, then prepared to extend the city’s formation across the state. Three months later, the powers had relocated, leaving Xingluo State ready to fall entirely under Dongxuan City’s control.

• Bai Shuqing and Xueyu blocked the Void Glimpse Realm experts’ pressure on Li Mu, while Xing Haokong hesitated to oppose Dongxuan City.
• Ye Qingxuan sent his World Map over the auction and suppressed the gathered experts, prompting Xing Haokong and the other powers to accept the acquisition plan and sign transfer contracts.
• After the auction, Bai Shuqing, Xueyu, and Li Mu collected their rewards and left Xingluo Dongxuan City, while Ye Qingxuan fed the auction’s Azure Devil Realm resources into Qingxuan Cave Heaven’s Purification Formation.
• Ye Qingxuan began preparing Tier Seven Formation Bases to expand Dongxuan City’s Seventh-tier Star Dou Great Formation across Xingluo State.
• Three months later, Ye Qingxuan confirmed that the major powers had relocated, leaving only Dongxuan City and smaller settlements in Xingluo State.

Ye Qingxuan spent a hundred years expanding Dongxuan City's Seventh-tier Star Dou Great Formation to cover all of Xingluo State, bringing the region under Dongxuan City's supervision. He then announced sweeping reforms to foster competition and develop future cultivators, and Dongxuan City's residents immediately began planning how to establish settlements.

• Ye Qingxuan completed the expansion of the Seventh-tier Star Dou Great Formation across Xingluo State, enabling it to suppress and judge cultivators who threatened the region's mortals.
• Ye Qingxuan surveyed Dongxuan City and worried that its more than two hundred thousand low-level cultivators had grown weak from a peaceful life without combat experience.
• Ye Qingxuan issued a reform announcement allowing cultivators to establish villages, towns, and cities, setting up academy branches and competitions, and restricting combat to designated zones and battle stages.
• Ye Qingxuan assigned tasks and Contribution Points for building settlements, academies, and battle stages and publicizing the reforms throughout Xingluo State.
• Dongxuan City cultivators discussed the reforms, and several decided to leave the city to recruit mortal residents and establish settlements.
