Chen Fan discovered that Mu Yunshui was carrying his child, whose Innate Supreme Dao Embryo had been sealed in her dantian to protect it from the Immortal Palace. After Mu Yunshui explained how the seal broke during the escape, Qin Xian'er promised that the four of them would stay together.

• Chen Fan recognized the natural Supreme Restrictions emanating from Mu Yunshui's abdomen and realized she was carrying his child.
• Mu Yunshui asked Chen Fan to leave so she could speak privately with Qin Xian'er, who agreed that the three of them should be together.

He rescued Dugu Han from the Hell Sect's prison on the fifteenth level, then announced that they would return, surprising Qin Xian'er while the three great factions were still pursuing the Hell Sect's Sect Master.

• Qin Xian'er and Mu Yunshui told Chen Fan that he would become a father, and the three reconciled as they headed for the fifteenth level.
• Chen Fan learned that Mu Yunshui had sealed him away to protect their child and realized their child was an inborn Supreme Dao fetus.
• Chen Fan entered the fifteenth level alone and found Dugu Han trapped in a Hell Sect Magic Array.

Chen Fan rescued his companions and returned with them to the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm, choosing to abandon the pursuit of the Hell Sect's Sect Master because Mu Yunshui was pregnant. Back home, he reunited with his friends and prepared to use the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to help Bi Fang recover his lost souls.

• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth escaped the Dark Void Realm, reunited with Chen Fan's group, and revealed that their cultivation had improved after consuming ancient spirit medicines.
• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth learned that Mu Yunshui was pregnant and argued over who would become the child's master, but Mu Yunshui and Qin Xian'er rejected them both.

• Chen Fan affirmed his resolve to pursue the realm of the Sword Immortal, then brought out the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to help Bi Fang recover his lost souls.

Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth left the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm to search for Bald Bird’s lost soul and gather allies against the coming crisis. After promising Qin Xian'er he would return safely, Chen Fan set out with the others and followed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk south.

• Chen Fan used the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to sense Bald Bird’s soul, and its jade needle pointed south.

Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth traveled south through deserted Ancient Cities to find Bald Bird’s lost soul. They located it beneath a boulder, but Chen Fan discovered that removing the talisman sealing the stone would trigger a deadly formation and destroy the soul.

• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth learned that panic over the overlords beyond the sea had driven cultivators to flee the Ancient Cities.
• Chen Fan and his companions traveled south across the Eastern Wasteland, where they found the Ancient Cities increasingly deserted.
• The group reached the Dugu Clan’s city and learned that the Clan Head and other experts had not returned from pursuing the Hell Sect’s Sect Master.
• Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth followed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to a barren mountain and found a boulder sealing one of Bald Bird’s souls.
• Chen Fan examined the boulder with his Heavenly Eye Treasure Art and warned Bald Bird not to remove the talisman because it would activate a killing formation and destroy the soul.

Chen Fan discovered that the Burning Water Chapter was trapped inside a killing array that would destroy Bald Bird’s soul fragment if it moved. He merged with the array to slow its activation, letting Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth rush into the cave to retrieve it.

• Bald Bird recognized the killing array as resembling one mastered by the Qin Clan’s ancestor, while Chen Fan found no flaw in its design.
• Chen Fan entered the array in void form and found Bald Bird’s water-attribute soul fragment, which contained the Burning Water Chapter.
• Chen Fan explained that moving the fragment would trigger the array and likely annihilate it, and Bald Bird concluded the Qin Clan’s ancestor had sealed it away.
• Chen Fan proposed imitating and merging with the array to hinder its activation while Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth retrieved the fragment.
• Chen Fan merged with nearly one-fifth of the array and called for them to move, and Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth tore off the Talisman and plunged into the cave.

Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth escaped the cavern as the Magic Array activated, then Bald Bird began fusing with its recovered blue-feathered soul-body. While Chen Fan healed his injuries, Bald Bird completed the fusion and declared itself done.

• Chen Fan slowed the Magic Array’s activation long enough for Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth to retrieve the blue-feathered soul-body and escape the cavern.
• The Magic Array erupted and blasted Chen Fan, Bald Bird, Old Yellow Tooth, and the soul-body away, leaving Chen Fan and Bald Bird injured.
• Bald Bird recognized the blue-feathered bird as its soul and began fusing with it while Chen Fan refined a spiritual herb to heal himself.
• Chen Fan recovered fully as Old Yellow Tooth waited beside Bald Bird and questioned why the fusion was taking so long.
• Bald Bird opened its eyes, glared at Old Yellow Tooth, and announced that it was done.

Chen Fan received the Burning Water Chapter, completing the Heaven-Burning Art, but the technique consumed his Nascent Soul and left him unable to control his body. After Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth sacrificed their treasured medicines to sustain him, the transformation settled, and Chen Fan discovered six elemental spheres in his dantian before witnessing something horrifying inside the Fire sphere.

• Bald Bird fused a soul, recovered to the mid Spirit Refining Stage, and offered to pass the Burning Water Chapter to Chen Fan.
• Bald Bird transmitted the Burning Water Chapter, causing the five existing chapters and the new water chapter to form six uncontrollable vortices in Chen Fan's dantian.
• The vortices drained the surrounding spiritual energy and split apart Chen Fan's Nascent Soul as his cultivation plummeted.
• Old Yellow Tooth and Bald Bird used their hoarded spiritual herbs, spirit pills, and the Dugu Clan's stolen Origin-Returning Heart Protecting Pill to replenish Chen Fan's energy.
• The six vortices stopped and became elemental spheres, Chen Fan regained control of his body, and he saw a horrifying scene inside the red Fire sphere.

Chen Fan discovered that the Heaven-Burning Art had transformed its six powers into small worlds and a Nascent Soul-like figure, raising him to the initial Soul Division Stage while concealing his cultivation from the Heavenly Dao. He and his companions traveled to the Southern Continent to find Bald Bird’s final soul, which the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk located beneath an Ancient City.

• Chen Fan found six small spheres in his dantian, each containing a distinct world of elemental power, and wondered whether they could eventually become a World Seed.
• Chen Fan explained the spheres’ transformation to Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth, then revealed that his cultivation had not been lost despite appearing to have fallen to the Qi Refining Realm.
• Chen Fan combined the six powers into a Nascent Soul-like figure and reached the initial stage of the Soul Division Stage without triggering heavenly tribulation.
• Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth set out to find Bald Bird’s final soul, following the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk toward the Southern Continent.
• After a month of travel, the three arrived at a desolate Ancient City and discovered that Bald Bird’s final soul was suppressed beneath it.

Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth returned to the old house to investigate the identical Magic Array suppressing another of Bald Bird’s souls. After they broke through its power, they discovered a second soul beneath Bald Bird’s—and Chen Fan recognized it as one of that senior’s souls.

• Bald Bird, Chen Fan, and Old Yellow Tooth debated who had suppressed Bald Bird’s souls in identical Magic Arrays and decided to investigate the array beneath the bed again.
• Chen Fan used his strengthened void body to cut off the Magic Array’s power while Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth retrieved Bald Bird’s soul.
• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth noticed another presence beneath the ground after lifting Bald Bird’s soul from the pit.
• Chen Fan sensed a golden Daoist sitting in the pit and told Bi Fang to take Bald Bird’s soul up before returning for the senior’s soul.

Chen Fan and his companions escaped with Fat Daoist's final intact soul and realized the Hell Sect Sect Master had used the rescue to copy their cultivation arts with the Kunlun Mirror. After returning to the Eastern Wasteland, Chen Fan prepared to lead an assault on the Hell Sect's ancestral grounds, while the Little Golden Monkey awakened.

• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth recovered Fat Daoist's golden soul, and Chen Fan escaped the collapsing magic array with them.
• Bald Bird fused with the soul, and the group concluded that the Hell Sect Sect Master had lured them into being copied by the Kunlun Mirror.
• Chen Fan's group returned to the Eastern Wasteland and learned that the Dugu Clan had killed only a replicated body of the Sect Master, while the true body and Kunlun Mirror remained missing.
• Chen Fan told the Dugu Clan Head his suspicions and arranged to gather the Dugu Clan, Xiao Family, and Divine Silkworm Clan to enter the Hell Sect ancestral grounds.
• Chen Fan returned to the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm, revealed that he had reached the early Soul Division Stage, and persuaded Qin Xian'er to stay behind.
• Qin Xian'er told Chen Fan and the others that the Little Golden Monkey had awakened a few days earlier.

After learning that Little Golden Monkey had awakened with no memory of its companions, Chen Fan found it asleep in the peach grove and discovered that a golden page seemed connected to its lost memories. The page struck Little Golden Monkey and fused with it, leaving it unconscious as Chen Fan carried it away and Nine Palaces Elder opened his eyes.

• Qin Xian'er told Chen Fan that Little Golden Monkey had awakened, failed to recognize anyone, and flown toward the peach grove.
• Chen Fan found Little Golden Monkey asleep in a peach tree, and it did not recognize him but remembered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
• Chen Fan summoned a golden page, which broke free and struck Little Golden Monkey, knocking it unconscious.
• Chen Fan sensed that the golden page was fusing with Little Golden Monkey and wondered whether it held the monkey's lost memories.
• Chen Fan carried Little Golden Monkey out of the peach grove as Nine Palaces Elder suddenly opened his eyes.

Nine Palaces Elder took his awakened heavenly tribulation beyond the heavens, leaving Chen Fan and the others uncertain about his survival and the coming threat. While they examined the Little Golden Monkey’s dangerous atavism, Old Yellow Tooth proposed taking it to the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds.

• Nine Palaces Elder awakened, warned Chen Fan that he was going beyond the heavens to undergo his tribulation, and vanished with the lightning.
• Chen Fan told Bald Bird, Old Yellow Tooth, Dugu Han, and the others that Nine Palaces Elder had departed, and they worried about the threat he had left them to face.
• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth discovered that the Little Golden Monkey’s blood was flowing rapidly, and Old Yellow Tooth identified its condition as atavism that could be caused by an immortal reincarnating or a descendant awakening an immortal bloodline.
• Old Yellow Tooth warned that the Little Golden Monkey might die if its atavism continued, then proposed that they go to the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds.

Chen Fan and his companions decided to return to the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds to use the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array to awaken Little Golden Monkey. After reuniting with the three major forces, they arrived safely at the first level of the grounds, ready to continue their search for the Hell Sect Sect Master.

• Old Yellow Tooth revealed that an array on the eighth level of the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds was the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array, which could draw out a person's soul but might awaken Little Golden Monkey if they destroyed it at the right moment.
• Chen Fan agreed to take Little Golden Monkey to the array, and his group said farewell to Qin Xian'er, Mu Yunshui, Chen Jingjing, and the others before setting out.
• Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth returned to the Ancient City, where the Dugu Clan Patriarch had gathered trusted experts from the three major forces.
• The leaders agreed to head for the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds before the Hell Sect Sect Master could finish her plans and disappear.
• Chen Fan checked the entrance with his Heavenly Eye Treasure Art, found no false void passage, and led the group through the passage to the first level.

Chen Fan and the others searched the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds for the Sect Master and the Kunlun Mirror, then exposed a fake eighth level that concealed the real route. They reached the eighth level and prepared to use the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array to awaken Little Golden Monkey.

• The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk could not locate either the Hell Sect Sect Master or the Kunlun Mirror, so Chen Fan suspected they were hidden inside the ancestral grounds.
• Chen Fan and the three great forces searched the levels, but found no trace of the Sect Master.
• Chen Fan struck the ground and revealed that the supposed eighth level was an illusion concealing that they were still on the seventh level.
• Chen Fan concluded that the Sect Master was likely hidden behind the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array on the real eighth level.
• Old Yellow Tooth explained that the array could awaken a suppressed Divine Soul and required the Hell Sect's secret art to function.
• Chen Fan carried Little Golden Monkey toward the array to begin awakening it.

Chen Fan and the others broke the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array to free Little Golden Monkey’s Divine Soul, though it remained asleep. Chen Fan saw a mysterious second soul within the monkey, and he concluded that the Hell Sect’s Sect Master was on the seventh level.

• Chen Fan sent Little Golden Monkey into the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array while the others prepared to destroy it once its Divine Soul emerged.
• As Little Golden Monkey’s soul began to leave its body, Chen Fan saw a blurry second soul and was struck by pain when he tried to see it clearly.
• Old Yellow Tooth ordered everyone to attack, and they shattered the array, returning Little Golden Monkey’s soul to its body.
• Chen Fan determined that Little Golden Monkey was safe but would remain asleep, and he concealed what he had seen from the three experts.
• After the group turned to the rock wall, Chen Fan concluded that the Hell Sect’s Sect Master was on the seventh level.

Chen Fan realized the Hell Sect's Sect Master had never been on the eighth level and found a concealed spatial passage on the seventh level. He and the others entered it, where the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk indicated the Sect Master was ahead of them.

• Chen Fan explained that the Sect Master had used a fake eighth level to lure their group into the Nine Nether Soul-Gathering Array and weaken them.
• Chen Fan sensed spatial ripples in a dark corner on the seventh level and found that his sword passed through a rock wall concealing a spatial passage.
• The Dugu Clan head and the other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators entered the passage first, followed by Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and the rest of the group.
• Chen Fan used the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk inside the passage, and its needle twitched before settling, suggesting the Sect Master was somewhere ahead.

Chen Fan and the others confronted Yama in the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds, where the sect leader revealed that he had sought to become the Heavenly Emperor with the Kunlun Mirror. As Yama declared that the Heavenly Dao was everywhere, he suddenly stabbed himself in the head, leaving his fate uncertain.

• The group reached a cavern where a Magic Array gathered the lava from the Hell Sect Ancestral Grounds, and Yama appeared behind a curtain of flames.
• Yama recognized Chen Fan and admitted he had underestimated him, while the Dugu Clan Patriarch and Xiao Family Patriarch demanded the Kunlun Mirror.
• Yama insisted that his plan sought more than his enemies’ techniques and memories, then revealed that he had hoped to become the Heavenly Emperor.
• Yama claimed the Heavenly Dao had given him the Kunlun Mirror and warned that no one could escape the Heavenly Dao, unsettling Chen Fan and the other powerhouses.
• Yama spat blood, declared himself eternal and indestructible, and drove his dagger into the crown of his own head.

Yama killed himself, and Chen Fan’s group broke the Hell Sect’s array to find the Kunlun Mirror. As they examined the figures trapped inside it, one cultivator claimed that the dead Yama had smiled at him, though Chen Fan saw nothing unusual.

• Yama used his bonded Dharma Treasure to take his own life, leaving Chen Fan and the others stunned by his final words about being eternal and indestructible.
• Chen Fan ordered the group to break the array and retrieve the Kunlun Mirror, and the three late-stage Soul Splitting cultivators shattered the weakened Concealment Array.
• Chen Fan used the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk to lead the group to the Kunlun Mirror, where they saw dozens of copied cultivators, including Mu Yunshui, Qin Xian'er, and several clan leaders.
• Bald Bird complained that he did not appear in the mirror, and Old Yellow Tooth mocked him before Bald Bird pointed out that Old Yellow Tooth was absent too.
• A Divine Silkworm Clan member recognized several incomplete copies of Yama and claimed one had smiled at him, but Chen Fan’s Heavenly Eye revealed no sign of movement.

Chen Fan rejected the Kunlun Mirror as an ominous object, warned the three late-stage Soul Splitting experts, and left it in their hands. After returning to the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm and spending several quiet weeks there, he received a voice transmission at dawn.

• Chen Fan explained that Yama's aura remained in the Kunlun Mirror and warned that it might be a demonic artifact, but the three experts chose to keep it.
• Chen Fan erased himself, Qin Xian'er, and Mu Yunshui from the mirror, then departed with Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth.
• On the way to the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm, Chen Fan told Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth he suspected the mirror might have driven Yama mad.
• Chen Fan and his companions returned to the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm, where the others trained, cared for the peach grove, and awaited the Little Golden Monkey's awakening.
• After several quiet weeks, Chen Fan opened his eyes beside Qin Xian'er when a familiar voice sent him a transmission.

Dugu Ghost Sword told Chen Fan that Yama had killed the Divine Silkworm Clan’s chief and stolen the Kunlun Mirror. Chen Fan suspected Yama could target those who had appeared in the mirror, including him and the women he wanted to protect.

• Chen Fan left the Peach Blossom Spring Mystic Realm with Bald Bird after learning Dugu Ghost Sword was waiting outside.
• Dugu Ghost Sword told Chen Fan that Yama had killed the Divine Silkworm Clan’s chief and taken the Kunlun Mirror.
• Dugu Ghost Sword explained that witnesses had seen Yama pierce the chief’s chest, rip out his Nascent Soul, and swallow it.
• Dugu Ghost Sword said Yama had named the Dugu Clan’s chief as her next target.
• Chen Fan reasoned that Yama might only be able to kill people who had appeared in the Kunlun Mirror, including him, Qin Xian'er, and Mu Yunshui.

After Yama killed the Divine Silkworm Clan chief, Chen Fan realized the Kunlun Mirror might be his weakness and planned to use the Immortal Sword Sheath to destroy it. Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth traveled with Dugu Ghost Sword to the Dugu Clan, where they prepared to face Yama with the help of two late-stage Soul Formation cultivators.

• Dugu Ghost Sword left the secret realm, while Chen Fan and Bald Bird realized Yama might hunt everyone reflected in the Kunlun Mirror.
• Chen Fan caught up with Dugu Ghost Sword and proposed breaking the Kunlun Mirror with the Immortal Sword Sheath.
• Chen Fan returned to the secret realm and told Qin Xian'er, Mu Yunshui, and the others about Yama's attack and his plan.
• Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth agreed to help Chen Fan set up a killing formation after Chen Fan said Yama's attacks seemed limited.
• Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth met Dugu Ghost Sword and hurried to the Dugu Clan, where the Xiao Family Head was expected to join them.

Chen Fan arrived at the Dugu Clan and judged that its existing Magic Array could not stop Yama, so he proposed replacing it with a Purgatory Four Symbols Array. After the clansmen objected to the danger, he assured them that he could succeed, leaving the array’s construction yet to begin.

• Chen Fan arrived at the Dugu Clan, where the Dugu and Xiao family heads had joined forces to protect against Yama.
• The family heads asked Chen Fan for a plan, and he said they still needed to shatter the Kunlun Mirror with his Immortal Sword Sheath.
• Chen Fan struck their Magic Array and dimmed its power, warning that it could not hold against the Hell Sect’s command of void power.
• Chen Fan took out Four Symbols Secret Talismans and announced that he would create a Purgatory Four Symbols Array.
• The Dugu and Xiao clansmen protested that a failed array could destroy the clan, but Chen Fan studied the existing array with his Heavenly Eye and said he was certain he could succeed.

Chen Fan began transforming the Magic Array into a powerful formation using Four Symbols Secret Talismans and a legendary Taiyin Stone. Xiao Zheng and many clan members abandoned the array, leaving Chen Fan, the two Clan Heads, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth to continue as Chen Fan asked for help cutting open the stone.

• Chen Fan entered the Magic Array and reshaped it with divine mineral materials and nine Four Symbols Secret Talisman Arrays.
• Chen Fan revealed that he intended to use the Taiyin Stone as an array stone, alarming the assembled clans.
• Xiao Zheng challenged Chen Fan, defied the Xiao Family Head, and left; several Xiao and Dugu clan members followed.
• Chen Fan let the dissenters leave and said that only the three of them would be needed for the coming battle.
• Chen Fan asked Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth to cut open the Taiyin Stone and arrange it according to the Infernal Soul-Locking Array, startling them.

Chen Fan used the Lunar Yin Stone to build three Infernal Soul-Locking Arrays while Yama slaughtered the clansmen outside the Ancient City. The arrays were completed just as Yama returned in pursuit of the survivors.

• Chen Fan convinced Bald Bird, Old Yellow Tooth, and the two clan heads that he could control the Lunar Yin Stone and coordinate its use in the array.
• Chen Fan used the Taiji Diagram to suppress the stone’s yin energy, then entered the formation with Bald Bird and Old Yellow Tooth to prepare the Infernal Soul-Locking Array.
• Yama appeared outside the Ancient City and began killing members of the Xiao Family and Dugu Clan, but Chen Fan ordered the others to continue setting up the array.
• Chen Fan cut the Lunar Yin Stone into fragments and distributed them as the two clan heads brought the remaining clansmen into the formation.
• Chen Fan, Bald Bird, and Old Yellow Tooth placed the fragments in unbroken coordination, completing three Infernal Soul-Locking Arrays.
• The clansmen who had fled returned, with some injured, as Yama pursued them in a bloody crimson gleam.
