Bai Jing trapped Zhu Zican and slaughtered Demon Race Dharma Idols while the Hong Domain cultivators gained the upper hand. When the Demon Race Holy Son arrived, Ling Qinghe blocked him, and the battle ended in a great victory before Yun Qianshan proposed giving Bai Jing two more Divine Arrays so he could stay and fight longer.

After rejecting a long-term stay in exchange for another array, Bai Jing collected the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Induction formation and began studying it.

• Bai Jing told Gu Jingzhi he had killed 157 Dharma Manifestations, and Lingxiao’s disciples welcomed him and the visiting experts with a banquet.

Tang Xinmian told the Demon Race Holy Son, Pang Qing, and Murong Cang how the First Generation’s True Work let array cultivators light Tenth-Tier star positions individually and improve their chances of reaching True Saint. She joined their hunt against the Little Monster of the Hong Domain, whose potential threat alarmed the Holy Son.

• Tang Xinmian arrived in the Demon Domain and explained that Zhu Zi Can was secluded while approaching a breakthrough.
• Tang Xinmian revealed that she had lit a Tenth-Tier star position despite being Ninth-Tier, giving her strength beyond Ninth-Tier Potential and helping her defeat Murong Cang.

• Tang Xinmian agreed to join the hunt against the Little Monster of the Hong Domain, and Murong Cang said he would join with her and Zhu.

News of the First Generation's True Work stirred outrage across the Eight Domains, while Bai Jing advanced his second Divine Array. At Lingxiao Academy, the elders debated the secret art and resolved to support Bai Jing, leaving the details of their aid to be arranged.

• Cultivators across the Eight Domains learned that the First Generation's secret art could help Ninth-Tier Potentials advance and raise the chance of becoming a Saint, and many condemned the Divine Realm for withholding it.
• Ancient holy spirits awoke and wondered how far the First Generation had progressed beyond the tenth tier and whether he was still alive.
• Bai Jing's second Divine Array reached the beginner level, unleashing a tremendous storm of lightning within the protected martial arts arena.

• Zhao Lingjun proposed exchanging two Divine Arrays for Bai Jing's protection, and the First Elder rebuked the elders for failing to value him and said they should show him Lingxiao's kindness.

Bai Jing received two Divine Arrays from Lingxiao’s Great Powers and continued cultivating, eventually breaking through to the middle stage of Dharma Manifestation. In the Demon Domain, Tang Xinmian and others waited for Zhu Zican to emerge and hunt Bai Jing, while Zhu Zican reached the same cultivation stage.

• Bai Jing dismissed the First Generation’s potential-raising secret art as irrelevant to him and urged the Ox Demon to grow stronger before the Demon Race made its move.
• Yun Qianshan brought Bai Jing two Divine Arrays, and Bai Jing began studying the Southern Bright Li Fire Array and the Great Evolution Divine Array.

After years of avoiding the battlefield because of Bai Jing, the Demon Domain Dharma Manifestations prepared a coordinated hunt for him. The ambush began when they finally sent their cultivators onto the battlefield to fight the Hong Domain.

• Hong Domain cultivators mocked the Demon Domain for staying inside Demon City, while the demons feared Bai Jing and refused to answer their provocations.
• Zhu Zican emerged from seclusion and joined Murong Cang, Tang Xinmian, Pang Qing, and the Demon Domain Holy Son to plan a hunt for Bai Jing.

• The Holy Son arranged for the Hong Domain cultivators to take the field first, then ordered the Demon Domain Dharma Manifestations to join them.
• The Demon Domain cultivators surged onto the battlefield, beginning the battle anew.

Murong Cang entered the battlefield and overwhelmed Shen Miaomiao and Sima Yue, establishing the Demon Race’s might until Bai Jing confronted him. As reinforcements gathered on both sides, Bai Jing fixed his burning gaze on the formation master Pang Qing, leaving his next move unclear.

• The Sub-Saint formation sealed the battlefield as Murong Cang joined the four remaining Demon Race supreme cultivators, and Hong Domain fighters called for reinforcements.
• Sima Yue and Shen Miaomiao attacked, but Murong Cang struck Shen Miaomiao down and then crippled Sima Yue with his fists.

• Bai Jing stared intently at the formation master Pang Qing, who felt uneasy under his gaze.

Bai Jing left the Demon Cultivators to the Hong Domain’s supreme experts and targeted the prodigy Pang Qing for points. As Tang Xinmian unleashed her arrays against the Hong Domain cultivators, Ling Qinghe blocked her attack and Bai Jing’s Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Great Array trapped Zhu Zican.

• Bai Jing dismissed Tang Xinmian and said the Demon Cultivators should be eliminated, while Wenren Zhao agreed to deal with them.

Bai Jing’s Divine Fiend Array trapped Zhu Zican, while his other Divine Arrays overwhelmed Pang Qing and Ling Qinghe revealed a fearsome blue flame blade against Tang Xinmian. The planned hunt collapsed as Pang Qing realized their side was losing on every front.

• Zhu Zican unleashed his techniques but failed to break out of Bai Jing’s Divine Fiend Array, shocking the Demon Race Holy Son and Tang Xinmian with Bai Jing’s talent.
• Pang Qing cried for help as three Divine Arrays sealed his escape, and the Holy Son admitted their hunt had become a joke.
• Tang Xinmian moved to rescue Pang Qing, but Ling Qinghe blocked her and unleashed blue flames that shattered Tang Xinmian’s array barrage.
• Ling Qinghe charged Tang Xinmian with her blue flame blade while Tang Xinmian recognized that Ling Qinghe possessed an Innate Inner Core.
• Pang Qing cried out that Tang Xinmian had promised to hold back two, then saw her being driven back by Ling Qinghe and realized their defeat was imminent.

Bai Jing overwhelmed Pang Qing with his Divine Arrays, countering the Saint Race genius’s many life-saving measures and preparing to take his Yin Yang Array Diagram. As Pang Qing neared death, the powerful observers hesitated to intervene while a Demon Cultivator held a Jade Pendant at the battlefield’s edge.

• Bai Jing and Pang Qing each used True Saint Jade Pendants, but Bai Jing’s arrays kept Pang Qing from escaping.
• Pang Qing unleashed dozens of life-saving Jade Pendants, yet Bai Jing recovered and suppressed him with three Divine Arrays.
• Zhu Zican broke free of the Great Heavenly Fiendish Array with a Jade Pendant, but Bai Jing trapped him again before he could help Pang Qing.
• Murong Cang abandoned the attempt to rescue Pang Qing and retreated while Gu Jingzhi pressed their fight.
• The Pang Clan urged the gathered experts to save Pang Qing, but they hesitated as another expert pointed out a Demon Cultivator holding a Jade Pendant.

Bai Jing killed Pang Qing while stripping away his Yin Yang Array Diagram, as the Ox Demon used the Sword Saint’s Jade Pendant to keep Demon Race experts from intervening. The battle revealed Ling Qinghe’s exceptional strength, and the Demon Race and Pang Clan agreed to seek revenge against her and Bai Jing.

• The Ox Demon resolved to stand with Bai Jing and guarded the battlefield with a True Saint Jade Pendant, deterring the Demon Race elders from entering.
• The Ox Clan ancestor approached Xihuai to negotiate, but the Ox Demon fired a Sub-Saint attack and forced him to retreat.

• A Demon Race Great Power urged the Pang Clan to unite against Bai Jing and Ling Qinghe, and the Pang Clan agreed.

After Bai Jing defeated Pang Qing, he salvaged Divine Fiend Array secrets and helped the Hong Domain win a crushing victory over the Demon Domain. The Demon Domain's leaders planned to target him when he traveled to the First Generation's Hometown, while Bai Jing prepared for that danger and attended the victory banquet.

• Bai Jing extracted four Divine Fiend Array Flags and hidden Divine Fiend Art methods from Pang Qing's remains, realizing they could strengthen his array.
• Zhu Zican fled using a True Saint's method after Bai Jing looked toward him, and Tang Xinmian and the other experts also withdrew.
• The Hong Domain camp defeated the Demon Domain, killing Pang Qing and wiping out the enemy's cultivators below Purple Gold rank.
• The Demon Domain's leaders decided to send people to the First Generation's Hometown and wait for Bai Jing to arrive.

• Bai Jing considered the Demon Domain's likely ambush when he traveled to the First Generation's Hometown and looked inward at the Inner Core in his Dao Platform.

After the Dharma Form Battlefield was destroyed, Bai Jing stayed at Lingxiao Academy and cultivated his Divine Fiend Array while the Demon Domain and Pang Clan intensified the fighting on other battlefields. Five years passed, and the Primordial Spirit Battlefield continued to await the day Bai Jing might join it.

• Tang Xinmian and Murong Cang parted from the Holy Son at the Demon Domain border, while the Holy Son vowed to enter the Upper Three Domains one day.
• Bai Jing learned that the Dharma Form Battlefield would remain closed for at least ten years and that the elders hoped he would guard Lingxiao City until reaching the third tier.
• Bai Jing nourished his Array Flags with Divine Blood and began training three new Divine Fiend Arts as the Ox Demon attended banquets in his stead.
• The Demon Domain and Pang Clan intensified the slaughter on the Primordial Spirit and Transcendence Battlefields, while the An Family supported the Hong Domain.
• Five years passed as Bai Jing continued cultivating and the Primordial Spirit cultivators waited for him to reach the third tier.

Yun Qianshan negotiated for Bai Jing to remain at Lingxiao Academy and guard the battlefields in exchange for the Lingxiao Heavenly Law. After receiving the Heaven Scroll, Bai Jing began studying it and decided to switch cultivation methods.

• Zhao Lingjun asked Yun Qianshan to let Bai Jing stay and help ease pressure on the increasingly dangerous battlefields, and Yun Qianshan agreed in exchange for the Lingxiao Heavenly Law and a twenty-year commitment.
• Zhao Lingjun offered to let the little girl surnamed Ling stay too, but Yun Qianshan immediately refused.
• Yun Qianshan delivered the complete Lingxiao Heavenly Law to Bai Jing and warned him not to let it disrupt his own Dao path.
• Bai Jing told Yun Qianshan that he expected to master the Divine Fiend Array in five or six years, shocking the Great Power, who warned him to conceal his rapid progress.
• Bai Jing entered his cultivation chamber, studied the Lingxiao Heavenly Law, and decided to switch to it.

Bai Jing began the arduous process of switching his Spiritual Cultivator method from Shangqing Mountain's Heaven Scroll to the Lingxiao Heavenly Law, accepting years without cultivation progress to strengthen his path toward True Saint. Meanwhile, the other disciples left Lingxiao City as the domain prepared for the return of a Sub-Saint carrying a first-generation secret method, leaving Bai Jing behind for an extended stay.

• Bai Jing decided to cultivate only the Dharma Manifestation chapter of the Lingxiao Heavenly Law and began draining the spiritual power from his three Inner Cores.
• Bai Jing spent the day emptying his Inner Cores, then continued stripping away the Heaven Scroll's spirituality while noting the progress of his array Dao.
• Half a year later, the Great Powers ordered the disciples from the three immortal sects to return to the Southern Territory, while Bai Jing remained in Lingxiao City.
• A Great Power explained that a Sub-Saint had obtained the first-generation secret method and that the Demon Domain might try to intercept them, so the sect's Great Powers would stay behind to provide support.
• Bai Jing watched the ships depart and returned to his cultivation chamber to continue removing the Heaven Scroll's spirituality.

Bai Jing followed the aftermath of the Demon Domain’s attempt to intercept the Array Dao Sub-Saint, which left Yun Qianshan and many other Great Powers dead and the Sub-Saint gravely injured. After An Linxuan left Lingxiao City and Gu Jingzhi vowed to cultivate for revenge, Bai Jing entered seclusion to strengthen his Array Dao and prepare to fight.

• Yun Qianshan warned Bai Jing to stay inside, then revealed that he had been injured while supporting the Sub-Saint, who remained trapped at the Hong Domain border.
• More than a hundred days later, Bai Jing learned that Yun Qianshan had died in battle and that the Sub-Saint had returned severely wounded, with his foundation damaged.
• The Ox Demon told Bai Jing that An Linxuan was hosting a farewell banquet before returning to his clan, where An Linxuan declared that he would dissolve his true blood and Gu Jingzhi vowed to cultivate for revenge.
• An Linxuan and the An Family cultivators left Lingxiao City the next day, leaving Bai Jing as the only Phenomenon Realm cultivator remaining apart from Lingxiao Academy’s locals.
• Bai Jing entered seclusion to purge the Heaven Scroll’s spirituality and improve his Array Dao strength so he could advance and fight in the Primordial Spirit Battlefield.

Bai Jing abandoned the Heaven Scroll’s spirituality, began cultivating the Lingxiao Heavenly Law, and greatly strengthened his Mana. Later, Su Chen arrived at Lingxiao City to display his power, and Gu Jingzhi broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm while vowing revenge.

• Demon Domain’s aged Sub-Saint failed to break through to True Sainthood and perished, prompting Hong Domain’s cultivators to celebrate.
• Bai Jing began practicing the Lingxiao Heavenly Law, filled his three Inner Cores with Mana, and increased his strength.
• Bai Jing emerged from cultivation after the Ox Demon reported that Su Chen had appeared above the Primordial Spirit Battlefield.
• Su Chen confronted Hong Domain’s five Sub-Saints, demonstrated his overwhelming strength, and departed without entering Lingxiao City.
• Gu Jingzhi expressed his hatred for Su Chen, and Sima Yue noticed that Gu Jingzhi had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Bai Jing struggled to perfect his Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Great Array as he prepared to keep pace with the rising powers around him. On the Primordial Spirit Battlefield, Gu Jingzhi entered the Nascent Soul Realm and fought fiercely until Su Tongxuan nearly killed him; after learning the fox demon was Su Chen’s descendant, Gu Jingzhi asked Mu Xiaoyue whether she and Little Monster could kill him together.

• Bai Jing’s attempt to unite his perfected arrays failed because his Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Great Array had not reached perfection, and he estimated it would take another ten years.
• Half a month later, Gu Jingzhi entered the Primordial Spirit Battlefield and killed demonfolk with unusual ferocity, driven by his desire to avenge his father.
• Gu Jingzhi held his own against a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivator and tore off part of the opponent’s Dharma Manifestation before Su Tongxuan ambushed him.
• Mu Xiaoyue blocked Su Tongxuan’s attack and warned Gu Jingzhi that the fox demon was a half-step Transcendence expert stronger than she was.
• Mu Xiaoyue revealed that Su Tongxuan was Su Chen’s descendant, and Gu Jingzhi asked whether she and Little Monster could kill him if Little Monster reached the third rank.

Mu Xiaoyue urged Gu Jingzhi to find a way to keep Bai Jing in Lingxiao City, hoping Bai Jing would eventually enter the third tier and help the Hong Domain on the Primordial Spirit Battlefield. Ten years later, Bai Jing had still avoided meeting Gu Jingzhi, while the battlefield’s losses continued and hope that he would intervene remained uncertain.

• Mu Xiaoyue warned Gu Jingzhi that Bai Jing might leave Lingxiao City before Little Monster could reach the third tier, and suggested persuading him to stay longer.
• Bai Jing declined Gu Jingzhi’s banquet invitation, saying his cultivation was at a critical juncture, while the Ox Demon attended to build connections.
• Gu Jingzhi repeatedly fought Zhu Zican on the Primordial Spirit Battlefield and eventually defeated him, though the Hong Domain still suffered heavier casualties.
• The Demon Domain’s Holy Son tried to join the duel but was stopped by a Hong Domain cultivator, and the battle ended with the two sides withdrawing.
• Ten years later, Mu Xiaoyue learned Gu Jingzhi had never met Bai Jing; Li Minglan criticized Bai Jing for staying secluded, while Gu Jingzhi defended him and wondered how far his cultivation had advanced.
