Dasi and Adasen left Anzhu Planet together, while Guen disguised himself as Marquis Fanguang and continued deeper into Flame Domain Starry Sky. After decades of preparation, Guen remained short of mastering his treasures and looked ahead to becoming immortal and making his name known.

• Adasen decided to leave Flame Domain Starry Sky with Dasi and his sole immortal clansman, and they departed Anzhu Planet in Dasi's spaceship.

Guen traveled through the Flame Domain Starry Sky toward the Moxing Assembly, surviving dangers along the way and arriving near the Qikui Mountain Star Sector as the Kongling Festival continued. There, he recognized Hejin, a fellow Yanshen Race genius, and wondered how a World Lord from the End-of-the-World Secret Realm had reached the region.

• As the Yanyu Glow receded, Guen declined a Rock Lifeform's offer to search for treasures and waited for the dangerous light to disappear.
• Guen entered the Dark Universe and headed for the Qikui Mountain Star Sector to attend the Moxing Assembly.
• Guen traveled through the Flame Domain Starry Sky for eighteen years, killing the Immortals and Fenghous who pursued him.
• With the Kongling Festival nearly over, Guen stopped at a blue planet and spotted Hejin, a Yanshen Race genius from the Universe Genius Tournament.
• Guen questioned how Hejin, a World Lord from the End-of-the-World Secret Realm, had reached the Flame Domain Starry Sky and followed him down to the planet.

Guen entered the Moxing Stone Tower, confirmed his Marquis status, and received two-star client privileges for the Moxing Assembly. After reaching his residence in the Moxing Star System, he requested a large Qianchong Hunyuan Stone to help him gain the Law of Earth Origin’s recognition.

• Guen entered the Moxing Stone Tower, where a Zhutun Race Immortal verified that he was a Marquis and granted him two-star client status.
• The Zhutun Race Immortal explained the Assembly’s exchange rates and auction tiers, then agreed to ask around for the Yanshen Race World Lord Guen had seen.
• Guen traveled to the Moxing Star System and settled on a planet covered in Blue Sea Crystal.
• After reviewing the materials list, Guen decided that a half-meter Qianchong Hunyuan Stone could improve his cultivation and comprehension.
• Guen used his privileges to request the largest Qianchong Hunyuan Stone available.

Gu'en began crafting a cultivation-aiding meditation cushion from Qianchong Hunyuan Stone while Hejin left the auction to seek King Jiuyun and pursue a mission for the Yanshen Race. Hejin received temporary Bing Armor and hoped to earn the Yanshen Weapon Art or General Armor by completing his task.

• Gu'en received the half-meter Qianchong Hunyuan Stone and secluded himself to craft a meditation cushion using Lupo's carving technique.
• Hejin left the Yingtong Wood auction and flew toward a neutral planet, where another Yanshen Race immortal warned him to behave and take his assigned mission seriously.
• The immortal reminded Hejin that King Jiuyun might grant him Bing Armor, whose defenses could let Yanshen Race World Lords challenge immortals.
• At King Jiuyun's verdant Life Planet, a Yanshen Race Marquis Immortal gave Hejin temporary Bing Armor and said outstanding work could earn him the Yanshen Weapon Art or General Armor.
• Hejin vowed to complete the mission, then learned the Marquis Immortal was nearing the final threshold of Teleportation.

Guen refined a cushion from Qianchong Hunyuan Stone to aid his comprehension of the Law of Earth, then attended the Moxing Assembly to acquire materials for his illusion cultivation. He won Blood Dragon Bone and Qingyan Crystals but held back from spending more of his dwindling Moxing Stone Tokens.

• Guen refined an orange-red cushion that made his comprehension of the Law of Earth more than thirty times clearer.
• After the auction bell woke him, Guen asked Moto when the Qingyan Crystal lots would be sold and reviewed how the Moxing Assembly auctions worked.
• Guen waited until the third round to win two lots of Blood Dragon Bone, which he wanted to study as a unique mineral metal.
• Guen bid on the sixteenth round of Qingyan Crystals and won nineteen lots of one thousand crystals for 73.15 million Moxing Stone Tokens.
• With few tokens remaining, Guen chose not to bid on other materials that could help cultivate Yanxing's Nine Realms Fire, intending to return to a later assembly.

Guen spent most of his Moxing Stone Tokens at auction, then met Hejin of the Yanshen Race on a neutral planet to learn what the Yanshen wanted. When the Virtual Universe signal appeared but remained unusable, Hejin challenged Guen to find a hidden fire-law material, and Guen responded with anger.

• Guen completed an auction-item delivery with a Zhutun Race immortal, discussed token buyback and travel options, and received coordinates for a meeting with Hejin.
• Guen traveled to a neutral planet and met Hejin, a World Lord from the Yanshen Race’s End-of-the-World Secret Realm.
• The Virtual Universe signal reached the planet, but Guen and Hejin could not log in or use its functions.
• Hejin reacted aggressively to Guen’s Marquis Immortal aura, then claimed he had an important task and promised a reward.
• Hejin told Guen to find a material containing the Law of Fire on the summit, and Guen angrily confronted him.

Guen, disguised as Marquis Fanguang, negotiated with Hejin of the Yanshen Race and learned that they were searching for hidden resources in the Flame Domain Starry Sky. After securing a meeting for the day after the auction, Guen left the Moxing Star System to focus on obtaining a clone.

• Hejin offered Guen at least a million Moxing Stone Tokens to help the Yanshen Race, and Guen agreed to search for a hidden fire-aspected material as a test.
• Guen found a drop of White Rainbow Phoenix Blood, which Hejin offered as a token of good faith and promised more if Guen helped them.
• Hejin arranged to meet Guen on the planet the day after the auction and then hurried away to investigate through the Virtual Universe.
• Guen told Moto he would not join the Yanshen Race's search because obtaining a clone remained his priority.
• Moto inferred that the Yanshen Race was searching for Fire Grain or Flame Jade, and Guen considered the resources' dangers and the Zhutun Race's likely reaction.
• Guen left the Moxing Star System while the auction continued, more concerned that the Virtual Universe had expanded so far.

Guen learned that a war against the Ghost Tomb Race had erupted across the Core Land and expanded into wider chaos. He bought the highest-level intelligence report and left, with the Yuanxing Pavilion offered as a route to more timely information and travel to the Core Land.

• A Zhutun Race Immortal told Guen that sixteen races had declared war on the Ghost Tomb Race, while four races rebelled and the conflict spread across the Core Land.
• The Zhutun Race Immortal offered paid intelligence reports updated every hundred years and explained that the Yuanxing Pavilion offered access to the most timely information.
• The Zhutun Race Immortal explained that the Yuanxing Pavilion let Fenghou-level members fight the Ghost Tomb Race under their own races’ banners.
• Guen bought the highest-level intelligence and learned he could seek further reports at a Moxing Stone Tower or through the Yuanxing Pavilion.
• The Zhutun Race Immortal completed the exchange and stepped aside as Guen departed.

Guen learned how deeply the Core Land had fallen into conflict, then spent an era cultivating in the Flame Domain Starry Sky. He made progress toward the Law of Earth Origin but left the Time Hall short of success, recognizing that its acceleration hindered deeper insight.

• Guen read an intelligence report describing the Core Land’s fractured alliances and growing conflict, while he and Moto speculated about humanity’s plans.
• Guen chose to cultivate in the Qikui Mountain Star Sector and released Shimang, Jie, and his other subordinates to train and guard him.
• At the next Kongling Festival, Guen emerged from the Time Hall after an era of cultivation and found he had not yet earned the Law of Earth Origin’s recognition.
• Guen explained that the Time Hall’s eighteenfold acceleration impeded law comprehension even as it helped with Secret Methods and tempering the will.
• Guen boarded the Void Travel Boat with Jie and the others and set off through the starry sky.

Guen and Shimang escaped an ambush by a group of Hongzhu in the dangerous depths of the Flame Domain Starry Sky. Realizing the route ahead held even greater risks, Guen decided not to press farther toward the Lan Race’s territory without a safer plan.

• King Jiuyun warned the Alien Races aboard his spacecraft that their expedition would involve danger and that he would not tolerate further complaints.
• Guen’s Void Travel Boat was ambushed by Hongzhu hiding beside the Yanyu Glow.
• Shimang unleashed the combined power of five hundred thousand Zerg King Warriors, killing the Hongzhu and opening a path through the Yanyu Glow.
• Guen escaped with Shimang and concluded that migrating Hongzhu made King Bahou’s otherwise reliable route too dangerous to follow blindly.
• Guen decided he could not risk going farther until he had a better prospect of surviving the dangers ahead.

Guen and his companions traveled through Yanyu Starry Sky, improving their detection methods while surviving repeated attacks. In the Wanyan Red Plains, they encountered fleeing Alien Race immortals pursued by a group of Weitan Behemoths, and the group turned to follow Guen’s Void Travel Boat.

• Guen escaped the Hongzhu ambush and considered why immortal-level fierce beasts were difficult to tame and use as fighters.
• Guen continued along King Bahou’s route with Shimang, Jie, and Kelehe, surviving battles and gathering resources over a century of travel.
• Guen entered the mist-covered Wanyan Red Plains, where he detected a large group approaching and ordered the Void Travel Boat to retreat.
• More than a dozen fleeing Alien Race immortals emerged from the mist, chased by over thirty Weitan Behemoths.
• Guen and Jie drove the Void Travel Boat out of the plains, but the Weitan Behemoths and the fleeing immortals changed direction and pursued them.

Guen and his companions fled through Yanyu Glow as Weitan Behemoths and Immortals pursued them, while their options for escape dwindled. Elsewhere, a Rock Lifeform found Flame Jade and was ambushed by two Immortal-level Giant Deer Special Lifeforms.

• Guen led Shimang, Kelehe, and the other Immortals in a desperate flight from the Weitan Behemoths and their Immortal pursuers.
• Shimang sent more than thirty thousand Zerg King Warriors to detonate near the pursuing Immortals, slowing some Marquises and causing ten Weitan Behemoths to split off after them.
• Shimang regretted not raising an Imperial Guard Legion, but Guen refused to turn back as two Fengwang and four Peak Marquis Immortals continued after them.
• At a fork, one Fengwang Immortal escaped down another corridor, leaving Guen's group and the remaining Fengwang trapped in a dangerous pursuit.
• A Rock Lifeform discovered Flame Jade and contacted the Yanshen Race to report it.
• Two Immortal-level Giant Deer Special Lifeforms rushed toward the Rock Lifeform, which had no time to reach sublight speed and escape.

King Jiuyun used his King Armor to drive the Rock Lifeform into the Spatial Turbulence Layer, then confronted two Giant Deer over the Fire Eye Bodhi Pulp. After discovering the treasure lay within a Fire Beard Vein, he changed his mind and tried to enter, leaving the chapter with him attacking the Giant Deer guarding the entrance.

• King Jiuyun activated his King Armor, drove the Rock Lifeform away, and faced the two Giant Deer.
• After learning the Giant Deer had found nearly ripe Fire Eye Bodhi Pulp, King Jiuyun offered to let them take it, and they began searching the area for the vein.
• A Fire Beard Vein appeared, revealing that the Yanyu Glow concealed a large supply of Fire Eye Bodhi Pulp, and one Giant Deer entered while the other guarded the entrance.
• The Rock Lifeform returned from the Spatial Turbulence Layer, and King Jiuyun ordered Brother Puka to inform the Zhutun Race about what was happening.
• King Jiuyun moved toward the Fire Beard Vein, and the guarding Giant Deer charged as he sent red points of light and a black short blade toward it.

Guen and the Jiaoyong Race Fengwang escaped the Weitan Behemoths, then clashed when the Fengwang returned to the battlefield. Guen unleashed a devastating attack that engulfed them both and left the Fengwang’s fate unclear.

• Guen’s Soul Attack weakened a Peak Marquis, and the Weitan Behemoths devoured his divine body and destroyed his soul.
• A Fire Beard Vein appeared, but an Alien Race Fenghou was melted by its roots after landing in the wrong place.
• The Jiaoyong Race Fengwang escaped using a cloak, while Guen fled into the Spatial Turbulence Layer in his Void Travel Boat; the remaining Alien Race Fenghou fled from the Weitan Behemoths.
• The Weitan Behemoths pursued the two Fenghou, and the Jiaoyong Race Fengwang later returned to the battlefield.
• Guen emerged from the Spatial Turbulence Layer and attacked the Jiaoyong Race Fengwang with the Silver Dust Reincarnation Spear.
• Hundreds of thousands of white beams converged into a colossal explosion that swallowed Guen and the Jiaoyong Race Fengwang.

Guen killed the Jiaoyong Race King-Level Immortal after a prolonged battle, then returned to the Fire Beard Vein and discovered how to make it appear. He entered the Yanyu Glow to explore the vein and study its secrets.

• The wounded Jiaoyong Race King-Level Immortal tried to escape under its Cloak Secret Treasure, but Guen tracked it with soul power and attacked with a silver spear and the Lightning Ocean.
• The Jiaoyong Race King-Level Immortal burned its Immortal Divine Power and fought while retreating, but Guen pursued it for more than seven million kilometers and killed it.
• Guen collected the Jiaoyong Race King-Level Immortal's items and took a cautious, circuitous route back toward the Fire Beard Vein.
• With Shimang's Zerg Warriors guarding the area, Guen repeatedly used Space Secret Techniques until the Fire Beard Vein emerged from the void.
• Guen entered the Fire Beard Vein through its mouth and followed it into the Yanyu Glow.

Guen reached a lake of Red Spirit Golden Sun Liquid inside the Fire Beard Vein and explained its rare properties and uses. After discovering that the liquid could melt even his body, he released his companions so they could temper themselves and grow stronger.

• Guen traveled deeper into the Fire Beard Vein, where the laws of Fire and Space grew stronger and he found an enormous lake of golden liquid.
• The Flame Star Behemoth and Shimang explained that energy-network nodes appeared in starry skies with unusually concentrated elemental attributes.
• Guen identified the lake as Red Spirit Golden Sun Liquid and destroyed the Immortal Military Lord-level beasts that surged out of it.
• Guen explained how the liquid could create a Red Spirit Golden Sun Physique and help cultivators sense the resonance between Fire and Space.
• The Red Spirit Golden Sun Liquid melted Guen's finger and arm, so he released Jie, the Flame Star Behemoth, Niehuo Thorn, and the others to temper themselves with it.
• Niehuo Thorn and the Flame Star Behemoth began acclimating in the surrounding magma, while Jie tested the liquid on his body and adapted quickly.

Guen and his companions discovered a vast lake of Red Spirit Golden Sun Liquid, which could greatly aid cultivation but could not be safely transported with their current methods. As Jie and Shimang began using it, Guen weighed the potential gains against the limits Soul Slaves faced and agreed to let Shimang start over in pursuit of Immortality.

• Jie spread Red Spirit Golden Sun Liquid over his body and told Guen that it heightened the power of his Fire and Space techniques while causing severe pain that demanded steady willpower.
• Guen and Moto found that the lake held about 45 cubic kilometers of liquid, an immense fortune that had transformed the surrounding Fire Beard Vein.
• Guen and Moto concluded that neither a World Ring nor Divine Kingdom Teleportation could safely carry the liquid away, so Guen decided to let Jie and the others cultivate with it while they sought another solution.
• Shimang chose to abandon her progress toward commanding a million Zerg King warriors and use the liquid in hopes of becoming Immortal.
• Guen considered how Soul Enslavement limited long-term cultivation, then agreed to Shimang's choice and helped Jie with his transformation and breakthrough.
