Mountain Sitting Guest promised Lin Yuan a Peak Supreme Treasure if he met a killing requirement, then revealed that the kills had to be made under the notorious identity of the Lord of Northern Prison. He gave Lin Yuan tools to contact him and assume the identity, leaving Lin Yuan to face the danger of being hunted by every major faction, including the Human Race.

• Mountain Sitting Guest promised to forge Lin Yuan a Peak Supreme Treasure if Lin Yuan killed ten Top Universe Overlords or one Universe Master while he was a Universe Venerable, using materials Lin Yuan provided.

• Lin Yuan considered whether Heaven Soul Crystals could preserve secret techniques for his will-bound slaves, then decided to visit Lord of Craftsman God and learn treasure crafting.
• Lin Yuan used his third Karma Treasure Seeking Token hunt and followed its direction to Stone Axe Secret Realm.
• Lin Yuan learned that the realm's unmovable Stone Axe Statue had resisted a Universe Master's full-force attack and wondered whether it was the hunt's target.

Lin Yuan followed the mysterious force in his mind to the Stone Axe Statue in the Stone Axe Secret Realm and discovered that it was conscious. The Stone Axe Spirit recognized his unusual potential and declared that he had the greatest chance of claiming it.

• Lin Yuan piloted the Nether Palace into the barren Stone Axe Secret Realm and followed the mysterious force toward its central continent.
• Lin Yuan disguised himself as a native of the Sky Axe Clan and used Teleportation to approach the Stone Axe Statue without being detected.
• As Lin Yuan joined the natives gathered before the statue, an ancient voice summoned him and froze the surrounding space-time while leaving him free to move.
• Lin Yuan summoned his Black Sky Overlord Secondary Clone, sent his treasures back to his God Kingdom, and walked toward the statue.
• The Stone Axe Spirit revealed that Lin Yuan was an Immortal with impressive will and said he had the greatest chance of claiming it.

Lin Yuan learned that the Stone Axe was a powerful Mechanical Flow Treasure whose ownership required willpower two levels above his realm, and that its damaged core had to be restored. After hearing its history, he left the Stone Axe Secret Realm, intending to return once his willpower improved.

• Lin Yuan promised to return after his willpower broke through, then used his Storm Void Spirit Clone to leave through the secret realm's membrane wall.

• Lin Yuan left a divine-power coordinate on an uninhabited planet and headed through the Dark Universe toward Craftsman God Star.
• Lin Yuan used the North Prisoner Bead to transform into Lord of Northern Prison, learning that it changed his appearance, aura, and Divine Body.

• Lin Yuan crossed the dangerous Yinfa Secret Region inside the Nether Palace and arrived above Craftsman God Star.
• Lin Yuan put away the Nether Palace and teleported directly to Craftsman God Star.

Lin Yuan visited Craftsman God Mountain to learn treasure crafting from Lord of Craftsman God and was escorted there by Lord of Molten Heart after delivering Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water. Lord of Craftsman God emerged from his workshop and addressed Lin Yuan as Venerable Starlight.

• Lin Yuan arrived at Craftsman God Mountain disguised, while hundreds of experts waited for Lord of Craftsman God to meet them.
• Lord of Molten Heart rebuked the petitioners, rejected would-be disciples, and told treasure-seekers that his crafting queue stretched three thousand eras.
• Lord of Molten Heart recognized Lin Yuan, escorted him up the mountain, and accepted the Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water Lin Yuan had brought.
• Lin Yuan asked to meet Lord of Craftsman God, so Lord of Molten Heart led him to the sealed cavern where his teacher was crafting a treasure.
• Lord of Craftsman God emerged as a colossal Mountain Giant and greeted Lin Yuan as Venerable Starlight.

Lin Yuan met Lord of Craftsman God and asked to learn treasure crafting, revealing that he was Mountain Sitting Guest’s disciple and proposing a mutually beneficial deal. Lord of Craftsman God accepted that Lin Yuan had a connection to Mountain Sitting Guest, but doubted he could pass the test of crafting an Ordinary Supreme Treasure within a thousand years.

• Lin Yuan introduced himself to Lord of Craftsman God, and Lord of Molten Heart left so they could speak alone.

Lin Yuan persuaded the Lord of Craftsman God to teach him treasure crafting for a thousand years by offering part of Mountain Sitting Guest’s inheritance and explaining why Mountain Sitting Guest had not accepted him as a disciple. The Lord of Craftsman God agreed, and Lin Yuan began his lessons in the cavern.

• Lin Yuan offered to share non-core parts of Mountain Sitting Guest’s treasure-crafting inheritance in exchange for the Lord of Craftsman God’s guidance.
• Lin Yuan told the Lord of Craftsman God that Mountain Sitting Guest had likely rejected him as a disciple because he had abandoned his cultivation ambitions after becoming a Universe Master.

• The Lord of Craftsman God began teaching Lin Yuan the two most common methods of treasure crafting.

Lord of Craftsman God explained two methods of treasure refining, but Lin Yuan chose to engrave patterns himself. He demonstrated a newly created Secret Technique pattern whose power stunned Lord of Craftsman God.

• Lord of Craftsman God described the forging-based and pattern-engraving methods of treasure refining and recommended that Lin Yuan begin with the first.
• Lin Yuan chose the second method, relying on his extensive study of the Secret Pattern Flow School.
• Lin Yuan combined Wood and Space Secret Patterns into a new attack technique with power at the peak Universe Overlord level.
• Lord of Craftsman God recognized the pattern's immense power and stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief.

Lin Yuan learned treasure refining from Lord of Craftsman God and used his Black Sky Overlord Secondary Clone’s forging talent alongside his Storm Ruins Spirit Clone’s Secret Pattern skills. After 270 years of practice, he successfully forged a mid-grade Ordinary Heavy Treasure Battle Blade.

• Lin Yuan showed Lord of Craftsman God a Universe Overlord-level Secret Technique and learned that its Secret Pattern could help forge a high-quality Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon.
• Lord of Craftsman God gave Lin Yuan detailed forging lessons and recordings, then provided materials for practice.
• Lin Yuan struggled to forge with his Storm Ruins Spirit Clone and brought out his Black Sky Overlord Secondary Clone, whose Mountain Giant nature made him far more talented at forging.
• After fifty years of practice, the Black Sky Overlord learned to produce Pseudo-Heavy Treasures, and Lin Yuan's two clones began forging together.
• After 270 years of training, Lin Yuan completed a Battle Blade that Lord of Craftsman God identified as a mid-grade Ordinary Heavy Treasure.

Lin Yuan rapidly advanced his treasure-refining skills under the Lord of Craftsman God's guidance, progressing from Heavy Treasures to an Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon. He succeeded within a thousand years and earned the Lord of Craftsman God's admiration.

• Lin Yuan completed a Top-Tier Heavy Treasure weapon after two hundred years, impressing the Lord of Craftsman God.
• The Lord of Craftsman God supplied materials and taught Lin Yuan how to forge an Ordinary Supreme Treasure.
• The Lord of Craftsman God brought Lin Yuan to the Black Gourd, where its intense flames made treasure refining much faster.
• After five hundred years of practice and several failed attempts, Lin Yuan forged a Giant Axe weapon inside the Black Gourd.
• The Lord of Craftsman God praised the Giant Axe as one of the finest Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapons, despite its slightly rough forging.

After completing Mountain Sitting Guest’s test, Lin Yuan discussed the giant axe he had crafted with the Lord of Craftsman God and tried to recruit him into the Hong Alliance. He demonstrated the Secret Pattern Flow School, and the Lord of Craftsman God agreed to join Lin Yuan once he gained influence within the Human Race.

• The Lord of Craftsman God explained the giant axe’s abilities, and Lin Yuan thanked him for his guidance.
• Lin Yuan offered to pass on non-core Treasure Refining knowledge and invited the Lord of Craftsman God to join the Hong Alliance, but the Lord initially refused to become involved in faction conflicts.

Mountain Sitting Guest was astonished to discover that Lin Yuan had crafted an Ordinary Supreme Treasure using a self-created Universe Master-level technique engraved as a Secret Pattern Diagram.

• Lord of Craftsman God agreed to join Lin Yuan’s retinue and move Craftsman God Star into Lin Yuan’s territory.
• Lin Yuan spent the remaining years of his trial visiting Craftsman God Star and meeting Lord of Craftsman God’s disciples and the Special Lifeforms he protected.
• When the thousand-year deadline arrived, Lin Yuan contacted Mountain Sitting Guest, who summoned him to the Star Tower in the Outer-Domain Battlefield.
• Lin Yuan used a Monster Race King’s God Kingdom Teleportation to reach the Star Tower and appear before Mountain Sitting Guest.
• Lin Yuan showed Mountain Sitting Guest the giant axe he had crafted, revealing that he had made an Ordinary Supreme Treasure and engraved it with his self-created Universe Master-level Secret Pattern Diagram technique.
• Mountain Sitting Guest examined the axe and asked Lin Yuan in surprise whether he had studied the Secret Pattern Diagram School.

Mountain Sitting Guest learned that Lin Yuan was studying the Secret Pattern Diagram path and gave him his crafting inheritance. He refused to guide Lin Yuan personally, insisting that his disciple had to forge his own path.

• Lin Yuan told Mountain Sitting Guest that his supreme Innate Secret Technique, Incarnation of Origin, let him observe Secret Pattern Diagrams, and that he cultivated in Founder of the Great Axe's Miniature Universe with eighteen Wood Beast God Statues as references.
• Mountain Sitting Guest realized Lin Yuan had already begun the Secret Pattern Diagram path and had created a peak Universe Master ultimate technique, making the Beast God World access he had arranged unnecessary.
• Mountain Sitting Guest explained how Secret Patterns were used in crafting and gave Lin Yuan an ancient wooden tablet containing four chapters of his crafting inheritance.
• Lin Yuan accepted the inheritance, though he suspected it did not contain Mountain Sitting Guest's most advanced crafting methods.
• When Lin Yuan asked for crafting guidance, Mountain Sitting Guest refused and said he expected his disciples to forge their own paths.

Mountain Sitting Guest gave Lin Yuan the Peak Supreme Treasure weapon White Snake and the Top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasure Starlight Glazed Palace. He revealed that the treasure made from Primordial Star Marrow was only half complete, though he now expected to refine a Peak Soul-type Supreme Treasure from it.

• Mountain Sitting Guest explained the Divine Power Path and Lin Yuan's prospects for reaching the Infinite Divine Body and, potentially, the Perfect Divine Body.
• Mountain Sitting Guest presented Lin Yuan with White Snake, a Peak Supreme Treasure whip designed for his Bo Xue Vine Clone that could control time and space when fully activated.
• Lin Yuan bound White Snake to himself and sent it into his God Kingdom for his Bo Xue Vine Clone to use.
• Mountain Sitting Guest gave Lin Yuan the Starlight Glazed Palace, a Top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasure with defense that ordinary Universe Supreme Beings could not overcome.
• Mountain Sitting Guest told Lin Yuan that the Primordial Star Marrow treasure was only half finished and that he was confident he could refine it into a Peak Soul-type Supreme Treasure.

Mountain Sitting Guest gave Lin Yuan the Starlight Glazed Palace and allowed him to study the Star Tower’s secret patterns, creating new opportunities for his cultivation. Lin Yuan then pressed his master to forge him a treasure on the Star Tower’s level, and Mountain Sitting Guest promised to gather the rare materials needed.

• Mountain Sitting Guest gave Lin Yuan the Starlight Glazed Palace and advised him to study its secret patterns, and Lin Yuan made the palace acknowledge him as its master.
• Lin Yuan’s Original Body and Bo Xue Vine Clone studied their new treasures while Lin Yuan advanced his will training and Secret Pattern Flow studies in the Great Axe Universe.

• Mountain Sitting Guest told Lin Yuan to leave a Divine Power Avatar at the Star Tower after reaching Universe Venerable.
• Lin Yuan complained that Mountain Sitting Guest had not given him a treasure on the Star Tower’s level, and Mountain Sitting Guest promised to gather the rare materials needed to forge one.

Mountain Sitting Guest promised to refine Lin Yuan a Star Tower-level treasure before Lin Yuan became a Universe Master and explained how Heaven Soul Crystals could pass on fully mastered techniques. Lin Yuan then began studying the Star Tower’s Secret Pattern Diagrams and realized he would need to leave a Divine Power Clone behind to keep observing them.

• Lin Yuan pressed Mountain Sitting Guest to promise a Star Tower-level treasure, and Mountain Sitting Guest agreed to finish it before Lin Yuan became a Universe Master.
• Mountain Sitting Guest explained that Heaven Soul Crystals could preserve memories that evaded the Universe Operation Rules, but techniques had to be fully mastered before recording and each inheritance could only be received once.
• Lin Yuan considered recording the early levels of Ten Thousand Hearts Undying in a Heaven Soul Crystal and testing whether Selina could learn from it.
• Lin Yuan shifted the Star Tower’s space to reveal Heaven-Piercing Pillars engraved with complete Secret Pattern Diagrams created by Mountain Sitting Guest.
• Lin Yuan found the diagrams far more intricate than those he had studied before and realized he needed to leave a Divine Power Clone in the Star Tower to continue observing them.
