• Ye Qingxuan chose Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu as his retainers and told them to call him Young Master.

Ye Qingxuan encountered Ye Qingshuang, who challenged him over their old cultivation-speed rivalry, and revealed that he had already reached Qi Refining Perfection. After leaving with Ye Yuhong for Qingmu Prefecture City, he prepared to return to Xuantian Sect and contract a Blessed Land the next day.

• Ye Qingxuan asked Ye Yuhong to take him and his retainers to Qingmu Prefecture City, and Ye Yuhong agreed.
• Ye Qingshuang confronted Ye Qingxuan for supposedly abandoning their cultivation-speed competition, then learned from Ye Yuhong that Ye Qingxuan had reached Qi Refining Perfection.

• Ye Qingxuan reflected on how talent, physical condition, and resources affected cultivation speed, and looked ahead to contracting a Blessed Land and revealing the Earth Immortal Legacy the next day.

Ye Qingxuan returned to Xuantian Sect with Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, registered them as retainers, and used his Eternal Turtle Clone to contract the Spirit Land. The nascent Qingxuan Blessed Land began forming in the Dihuan Realm’s Inner Space and would take seven days to fully develop, after which Ye Qingxuan expected to break through to Foundation Establishment.

• Ye Yuhong escorted Ye Qingxuan and his group to Qingmu Prefecture City, and Ye Qingxuan returned to Xuantian Sect with Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.
• Bai Zichun registered Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu as retainers after they swore Dao Oaths and received their Tokens.
• Ye Qingxuan brought the two brothers to his chosen Spirit Land and entered the mountain to contract it.
• Ye Qingxuan fused Earth Source Qi with a thread of Eternal Turtle origin and merged it with the Spirit Land’s origin, successfully binding the land through his clone.
• Qingxuan Blessed Land began separating from the mountain and shifting into the Dihuan Realm’s Inner Space, and Ye Qingxuan settled down to cultivate while it formed.

Ye Qingxuan absorbed the origin from his newly formed Qingxuan Blessed Land and broke through to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. The mysterious yellow bead then revealed itself as a world pearl containing the Earth Immortal Path legacy, which showed him how cave heavens and blessed lands could support his future cultivation.

• Ye Qingxuan used the energy pouring into him to break through, condensing liquid spiritual power and strengthening his body.
• After absorbing all the origin from Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage through the feedback from its late first-order grade.
• The mysterious yellow bead in Ye Qingxuan's mind vibrated, flooded him with information, and left him unconscious for three days and nights.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that the bead was a world pearl containing the Earth Immortal Path legacy, including cultivation methods and other complete inheritances below the immortal realm.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that the Earth Immortal Path combined cave heavens with blessed lands, which could complement each other, provide origin feedback, and eventually fuse into a lesser world.

Ye Qingxuan used the World Pearl and his Natal Clone, the Eternal Turtle, to begin opening a Cave Heaven while avoiding the usual karmic ties of Earth Immortal cultivation. As the World Pearl gathered Chaos Energy, he studied the Earth Immortal Legacy and learned that an Earth Immortal’s cultivation method and body had to be developed from their own Cave Heaven.

• Ye Qingxuan decided to let the Eternal Turtle bear and merge with the Cave Heaven through the World Pearl, despite his unconventional start on the Earth Immortal Path.
• Ye Qingxuan refined the World Pearl, brought the Eternal Turtle into it, and confirmed the pearl could leave his Mind Space without harming the clone.
• Ye Qingxuan sent the World Pearl into a nearby Spatial Node and activated it to absorb Chaos Energy as the Eternal Turtle merged with it.
• Ye Qingxuan estimated the Cave Heaven would take about three months to open and told Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu to build Cave Mansions outside the Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that Earth Immortals must comprehend their own cultivation methods from their Cave Heavens and that each Cave Heaven produces a corresponding Earth Immortal Body.

Ye Qingxuan studied the Earth Immortal Legacy, learning about ways to develop a Cave Heaven Blessed Land and several Divine Abilities that suited his plans. He discovered that his soul had become an Immortal Soul and learned a method to protect his life by merging his consciousness into the origin of his essence, qi, and spirit.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that spirit plants, ores, and formations could accelerate a Cave Heaven Blessed Land's growth and found the Clone, Deceive Heaven, and Shape Shift Divine Abilities in the inheritance.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to keep his main body secluded in Xuantian Sect while sending an External Incarnation to explore the Dihuan Realm and gather resources.
• Ye Qingxuan discovered that his Soul Origin had transformed into an Immortal Soul after his soul contracted the Eternal Turtle and his Dao Heart matured.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that an Immortal Soul could merge his consciousness into the origin of his essence, qi, and spirit, helping him survive unless his body was destroyed outright.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to use the method to merge his consciousness into the origin of his essence, qi, and spirit as a precaution.

Ye Qingxuan cultivated spells and planted Spirit Plants while waiting for his Cave Heaven to form, then absorbed its origin to reach the Purple Mansion Realm. He opened Qingxuan Cave Heaven, connected it to Qingxuan Blessed Land, and discovered that it inherited the Eternal Turtle’s Myriad Laws Immunity.

• Ye Qingxuan merged his consciousness with his Essence Qi Spirit Origin, gaining greater control over his body, Spiritual Power, and Immortal Soul.
• Ye Qingxuan spent three months cultivating spells and planting Spirit Plants in Qingxuan Blessed Land as it developed.
• The Cave Heaven formed and its Origin Power raised Ye Qingxuan to Foundation Establishment Peak, after which he broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan entered the new Cave Heaven through a Space Tunnel, named it Qingxuan Cave Heaven, and found that it had begun merging with the Eternal Turtle and gained Myriad Laws Immunity.
• Qingxuan Cave Heaven connected with Qingxuan Blessed Land, raising the Blessed Land to Peak First-Order and allowing the combined land to support higher-tier Spirit Plants.

After merging the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan developed the Earth Immortal Method and cultivated a First Order Earth Immortal Body, gaining stronger foundations and spell resistance. He resolved to focus on growing the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and planted Spirit Plants throughout it.

• Ye Qingxuan discovered that the Cave Heaven could condense Realm Gates and considered using them to establish a trading platform across the Dihuan Realm once he was strong enough.
• Ye Qingxuan comprehended a rough prototype of the Earth Immortal Method in three days, increasing his cultivation speed and shortening the time to condense a Second Element Spiritual Root to two hundred years.
• Ye Qingxuan used the Cave Heaven's fused origins to temper his body, enduring a month of pain before successfully forming a First Order Earth Immortal Body.
• Ye Qingxuan found that his new body could unleash Qi Refining Perfection strength, negate Qi Refining spell attacks, and halve the force of Foundation Establishment spell attacks.
• Ye Qingxuan made developing the Cave Heaven Blessed Land his priority and planted Spirit Gathering Grass, Spirit Purifying Trees, Earth Spirit Flowers, and other Spirit Plants throughout it.

After completing his blessed land, Ye Qingxuan discovered that a major event had unfolded in the Dihuan Realm while he was cultivating. He learned that the Dihuan Realm and the Azure Devil Realm had been locked in a prolonged conflict over the Outer Realm Battlefield, where the two sides fought for resources and the Origin Feedback gained from their enemies.

• Ye Qingxuan left the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, repaired its entrance, and built a stone pavilion on the mountain.

• Ye Qingxuan asked Bai Wenyang what had happened, and Bai Wenyang offered to send him a detailed account while asking him to support Hundred Treasures Pavilion by refining pills.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that the Azure Devil Realm had invaded the Dihuan Realm ten thousand years earlier, and that the realms’ ongoing conflict had created a vast, resource-rich Outer Realm Battlefield.

Ye Qingxuan learned that the Dihuan Realm had opened the Outer Realm Battlefield to its factions after the Azure Devil Race withdrew, creating a surge in demand for supplies. He planned to support the Xuantian Sect from behind the lines and was discussing the battlefield with Ye Qingxiao when the chapter ended.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that the Azure Devil Race had retreated to its Realm Gate and that the Dihuan Realm’s Great Powers had opened the Outer Realm Battlefield to cultivators seeking to slay demonic beasts and purify devil qi.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to improve his crafting skills and supply the Xuantian Sect’s base camp for profit, postponing any trip to the battlefield until he could form a clone.
• Ye Qingxuan ignored Ye Qingxiao’s messages until Ye Qingxiao hurried over, then roasted demonic beast meat and shared it with him and Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu.
• Ye Qingxuan pretended he had learned about the Outer Realm Battlefield by calculating the affairs of the world, then asked Ye Qingxiao whether he planned to go there.

Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a protective Jade Talisman before his brother departed for the Outer Realm Battlefield. Meanwhile, Cen Zhe and Tong Yanye discussed the missing Azure Devil Race experts and prepared the Xuantian Sect for its recruitment ceremony, while Cen Zhe warned Tong Yanye to stay vigilant on the battlefield.

• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a Jade Talisman that could unleash a Nascent Soul early-stage strike, and Ye Qingxiao accepted it before setting out for the Outer Realm Battlefield.
• Ye Qingxuan explained that his apparent Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation came from the feedback of a newly formed Blessed Land, concealing his true cultivation with the Turtle Breath Technique.
• Ye Qingxiao bid farewell to Ye Qingxuan and flew away on his sword, promising to return alive.
• Tong Yanye told Cen Zhe that Yao Qiudao could not pinpoint the missing Azure Devil Race experts, while Tong Yanye's main body had found nothing unusual on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

• Cen Zhe warned Tong Yanye that the Azure Devil Race might be hiding a major scheme and told him to remain vigilant on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

After establishing Qingxuan Blessed Land and reaching Foundation Establishment, Ye Qingxuan updated his sect status, chose an annual planting mission, and spent most of his Contribution Points on crafting supplies. He planned to develop his cultivation arts and exchange his remaining Spirit Stones for materials.

• Ye Qingxuan reported his breakthrough to Steward Bai, who updated his Disciple Token and warned him to stay on his own path.
• Ye Qingxuan inspected the sect missions and chose to cultivate Earth Spirit Flowers for his annual Tier One Planting Mission.
• Ye Qingxuan relied on his Cave Heaven Blessed Land and spirit plant inheritance to expect a much higher Earth Spirit Flower survival rate than ordinary Blessed Cultivators.
• Ye Qingxuan spent 1,200 Contribution Points on a High-grade Artifact Level Artifact Refining Furnace and another 1,200 on materials to refine Talisman Brushes.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to take his remaining Spirit Stones to Bai Wenyang and develop his skills in alchemy, artifact crafting, talismans, and formations.

Ye Qingxuan purchased spirit herbs for five types of tier-two pills and materials to begin practicing artifact crafting, then refined the herbs over less than a month. He finished with hundreds of pills and stable but lower yields for the more energy-rich formulas.

• Ye Qingxuan selected herbs for tier-two Spirit Augmentation, Spirit Melting, Spirit Returning, Grass Return, and Spirit Cleansing Pills, along with materials for crafting mid-to-low-grade artifacts.
• Ye Qingxuan sent his order to Bai Wenyang and instructed Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu to spend his 43,575 low-grade spirit stones at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
• Bai Wenyang prepared the goods, and Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu returned with the materials that evening.
• Ye Qingxuan began refining tier-two Spirit Augmentation Pills the next day and successfully produced pills on his first attempt, eventually stabilizing at nine per share of herbs.
• Ye Qingxuan refined all five types of herbs in less than a month, producing 168 Spirit Augmentation Pills, 172 Spirit Melting Pills, 135 Spirit Returning Pills, 132 Grass Return Pills, and 175 Spirit Cleansing Pills.
• Ye Qingxuan stabilized his yields at seven pills per share for Spirit Melting and Grass Return Pills and six per share for Spirit Cleansing Pills because their high energy made them harder to refine.

Ye Qingxuan turned his pill-refining profits toward artifact crafting, refining artifacts and opening Tianfu Shop to sell his goods. By the end of the year, his business and cultivation resources had grown, while Qingxuan Cave Heaven continued accumulating energy to raise the rank of its spirit plants.

• Ye Qingxuan sent Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu to sell his pills at Hundred Treasures Pavilion and buy furnaces, pills, and spirit-mineral materials for him.
• Ye Qingxuan refined two furnaces of Tier Two Spirit Cleansing Pills each day, earning 3,679,200 low-grade spirit stones over the year, and advanced to a Tier Two Artifact Crafter after making a high-grade artifact.

• Ye Qingxuan had Ye Zhaoheng open Tianfu Shop in Xuantian Sect’s marketplace, where the brothers began selling his artifacts and some of his pills.
• Ye Qingxuan accumulated 1,352 Contribution Points and planted spirit plants in Qingxuan Cave Heaven, which he estimated would cultivate Tier Two plants in roughly three years and Tier Three plants in roughly ten years.

Ye Qingxuan entered the Tier Three Market by refining pills and Low-grade True Artifacts, then expanded Tianfu Shop while using sales to build funds for his Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s advancement. His shop began earning steady profits as demand for Spirit Cleansing Pills grew amid preparations for the Outer Realm Battlefield.

• Ye Zhaoyu bought Tier Three pill ingredients and a small amount of Tier Three Spirit Ore, leaving Ye Qingxuan with little capital.
• Ye Qingxuan became a third tier Alchemist and Artifact Crafter, then refined hundreds of Tier Three Pills and thirty Low-grade True Artifacts.
• Ye Qingxuan sold his pills to Bai Wenyang at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion but placed his artifacts in Tianfu Shop, making the pill sale his final transaction with the Pavilion.
• Ye Zhaoheng recruited a few lower-tier Alchemists and Artifact Crafters for Tianfu Shop, which bought Spirit Plants and Spirit Minerals in preparation for the Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s advancement.
• Ye Qingxuan focused his own production on Tier Three Spirit Augmentation Pills, Spirit Fusion Pills, and Spirit Washing Pills as demand for demonic-qi-cleansing pills rose.
• Tianfu Shop earned steady income from pill sales, Low-grade True Artifacts, and outsourced goods.

Ye Qingxuan expanded Tianfu Shop’s product line while holding back from pursuing Tier Four Alchemy and Artifact Crafting to avoid drawing attention. He advanced to Tier Four Formation Master and used his new formations to support Qingxuan Cave Heaven’s growth.

• Ye Qingxuan decided not to pursue Tier Four Alchemy or Artifact Crafting, since selling those products in Xuantian Sect could expose his abilities.
• He studied Talisman Dao and Formation Dao, expanded Tianfu Shop’s offerings, and outsourced the production of Talismans and Formation Disks after reaching third tier.
• In the fourth year after contracting the Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan spent three months advancing to Tier Four Formation Master.
• His enlightenment advanced Spring Wind and Rain Art to an Intermediate Spell and brought his Second Element Spiritual Root’s progress to fifty percent.
• In the fifth year, Ye Qingxuan established Tier Four Melting, Energy Conversion, and Earth Vein Arrays to help Qingxuan Cave Heaven grow.

Ye Qingxuan posted a long-term mission to collect Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Ore, hoping to speed the growth and rank advancement of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land. The following year, he used Tianfu Shop’s funds to master three Tier Four professions and planned to sell his creations outside the Xuantian Sect through a future clone.

• Ye Qingxuan realized he could use his Blessed Cultivator Disciple privilege to post missions through the Mission Hall.
• Ye Qingxuan spent 5000 Contribution Points to post a long-term Tier Two mission for Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Ore, then paid to synchronize it outside the sect and advanced three million Low-grade Spirit Stones as rewards.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu authority over the mission catalog while Tianfu Shop began purchasing Tier Two Spirit Ore.
• In the seventh year after arriving at the Contract Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan spent heavily on materials and became a Tier Four Alchemist, Tier Four Artifact Crafter, and Tier Four Talisman Master.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to keep his Tier Four creations out of the Xuantian Sect and have his future clone take them elsewhere to sell.

In the eighth year after Ye Qingxuan contracted the Blessed Land, Bai Wenyang visited to ask why Ye Qingxuan had stopped selling pills through the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Ye Qingxuan explained that he had opened his own shop, and after Bai Wenyang declined an invitation to work there, Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingxuan Cave Heaven and watched the Giant Crucible smelt spirit ore.

• Bai Wenyang visited Ye Qingxuan at Qingxuan Blessed Land and asked why he had stopped selling medicinal pills through the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
• Ye Qingxuan told Bai Wenyang that Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu handled his new Marketplace shop, where he planned to sell his pills.
• Bai Wenyang congratulated Ye Qingxuan on the shop and declined his offer of a job, choosing to remain at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
