Ye Tian joined Ling Tian Sect’s trial despite the cultivation seal Wu Jinyu had placed on him, then defended his team’s Sect Trial Stone from attacks. After discovering that defeating the trial’s wooden puppets improved his cultivation even through the seal, he prepared to face an increasingly large wave of them.

• Ye Tian failed to break Wu Jinyu’s cultivation seal and joined the Ling Tian Sect trial, where his group left him alone to guard their Sect Trial Stone.
• An earring-wearing cultivator attacked Ye Tian, but Ye Tian’s body stopped the man’s sword and his martial arts beat him badly.
• The earring-wearing cultivator diverted Ye Tian with an attack on the Sect Trial Stone and escaped, so Ye Tian stayed to guard it and raised four spiritual-energy gates around it.
• A wooden puppet attacked the stone, and Ye Tian smashed it, absorbing blue vapor that improved his cultivation despite Wu Jinyu’s seal.
• More wooden puppets appeared at shorter intervals, and Ye Tian used sword light and a longsword to defeat them as eight puppets closed in from all directions.

Ye Tian refused to join a risky assault on another group’s Sect Trial Stone, then visited Ling Tian Sect’s Service Room to choose a mission. He accepted a dangerous yellow-banner mission to hunt Wind Demon White Ape inner cores and headed for the back mountain, unaware that Wu Moyan had given him a pill and warned that he had offended the Li family brothers.

• Ye Tian argued against attacking the other group’s Sect Trial Stone, and its destruction eliminated the group’s members while Ye Tian’s team later kept their own stone intact and earned contribution points.
• Ye Tian visited the Service Room, where Zhou Jinghuan scolded him for delaying his sect mission and ordered him to take a banner.
• Ye Tian chose a yellow-banner mission to collect at least ten Wind Demon White Ape inner cores from Ling Tian Sect’s back mountain.

Ye Tian was lured into a Wind Demon White Ape ambush by a pill planted by the red-faced man, then fought his way through a frenzied beast horde. He escaped to Ling Tian Sect’s protective formation, where the beasts calmed down and withdrew, leaving the Wind Demon White Ape King glaring at him.

• The red-faced man’s scented pill drew Wind Demon White Apes to Ye Tian, who was surrounded by the beasts after pursuing one of them.
• Ye Tian used the Flame Break Fire Ring to scatter the apes, collected several inner cores, and fled as the enraged horde pursued him.
• The Wind Demon White Ape King blocked Ye Tian’s escape and struck him, but Ye Tian countered with a punch before running toward the front mountain.

• The red-faced man saw Ye Tian survive, and the demon beasts soon calmed and departed, though the Wind Demon White Apes continued glaring at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian exposed Qian Mou and two outer sect disciples for extorting him over genuine Wind Demon White Ape inner cores, then easily defeated them when they attacked. After capturing Qian Mou and hearing the disciples blame him, Ye Tian faced the arrival of their formidable big brother and three others.

Ye Tian turned Li Dazhu’s gang into his followers after they recognized him as Ji Chenfeng, then went to the Service Room to submit his assignment. There, Shen Wenlan and Zheng Chen competed over their accomplishments until Ye Tian claimed he had obtained the Wind Demon White Ape’s inner core, leaving the assembled disciples unsure who he was.

Ye Tian, posing as Ji Chenfeng, submitted the Wind Demon White Ape inner core and earned ten sect contribution points, astonishing the disciples at the Service Room. When Zheng Chen challenged him and failed to injure him, Steward Zhou stopped the confrontation; Zheng Chen left vowing revenge.

• Ye Tian introduced himself as Ji Chenfeng and submitted the Wind Demon White Ape inner core, which Steward Zhou accepted as proof that he had completed the yellow-flag assignment.
• Steward Zhou awarded Ye Tian ten sect contribution points, and Ye Tian joked that he did not know what they were for or considered one Foundation Cultivation Pill a poor reward.

• Ye Tian and the female ghost killed the six remaining peak Foundation Establishment cultivators as killing aura and a pale red mist gathered around him.
• A powerful divine sense descended upon Ye Tian, who placed the final spirit stone into the platform’s last spot.

He then attempted to break through to the Core Formation Stage, but his cultivation ended with a tiny golden core after the final vortex collapsed.

• Ye Tian defeated a Core Formation expert, collected his storage pouch, and released the Bone-Corroding Spirit Ants as killing aura and pale red mist gathered within him.
• Ye Tian discovered an unnamed sword formation requiring 108 magic artifacts and realized that killing cultivators supplied the mist needed to cultivate a sword core.
• Ye Tian and his Bone-Corroding Spirit Ants killed cultivators from the Nangong Family, and a red dot formed in his chest as the gathered energy accelerated.
• Ye Tian trapped another group of cultivators in the sword formation and killed them, while the Book of Life and Death replenished his spiritual power and the red dot became a sword core.
• Ye Tian used high-grade spirit stones and a Spirit Calming Pill to attempt Core Formation, but the final vortex collapsed and left a rice-grain-sized golden core in his dantian.

Ye Tian fought off a black-robed Core Formation Stage cultivator seeking revenge, overcoming his Purple Extreme Corrupting Mist and Poison Dragon Sword with the Nameless Sword Array.

• The black-robed man pursued Ye Tian and attacked him to avenge his dead grandfather.

Ye Tian entered the mist-shrouded inner region of the secret realm and followed a mountain path toward the rumored Universe Tower. He was ambushed by Taiji Sect Master Jiang Wuzhi, and their fight left the horse-faced Taiji Sect disciple dying from Ye Tian’s Yin Thunder Seed.

• Ye Tian found that a formation prevented flight and followed the sole path up the mountain, where he discovered three corpses used as bait.
• Jiang Wuzhi detonated a Yang Thunder Seed against Ye Tian, but Ye Tian survived with help from the Town Yue Turtle Mountain Diagram.

• The horse-faced disciple was swallowed by the explosion and called on Jiang Wuzhi to avenge him.

Ye Tian fled Jiang Wuzhi, whose Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Great Law made him overwhelmingly powerful, and escaped into the Universe Tower after finding the Nangong Family at its entrance. Jiang Wuzhi then forced Nangong Qiming to help him reopen the gate so he could pursue Ye Tian inside.

• Ye Tian and Tang Yunsheng discovered that the palace was an illusion and that the tower chamber had no visible exit beyond the sealed entrance.
• Ye Tian identified Jiang Wuzhi as the Taiji Sect's sect master and feared that he and the Nangong Family would break into the tower again before Jiang Wuzhi's evil technique expired.

Ye Tian and Tang Yunsheng escaped the first illusion in the Universe Tower, but the Nine-tailed Fox trapped them in a bridal-chamber illusion that exposed Tang Yunsheng’s feelings. Ye Tian killed the fox to break the illusion and left Tang Yunsheng hurt by his claim that his words had only been a ruse, then they passed through an open stone gate.

• Ye Tian and Tang Yunsheng found a hidden passage just as Jiang Wuzhi and the Nangong Family broke into the Universe Tower again.
