After completing her missions, Chen Xuanqing became the first Ascension Envoy to finish them and experienced a vision of the Chaos Sea before returning to the Great Profound Realm.

Xu Xing tested his understanding of Dao Source by creating a nascent Sword World, leaving him with a clearer glimpse of what Dao Source meant.

The chapter ended with Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu arriving before Ning Ruo, who asked if they were ready.

• Sword Fiend erupted over the Chengwu Realm, disrupting escape techniques and threatening to collapse the realm as it tried to recognize Chi Jiuyu as its master.
• Chi Jiuyu released her Life-Bound Sword, which overwhelmed and battered the Ten Extremes Sword; the giant turtle saw the clash and pretended to remain asleep.

After Chi Jiuyu effortlessly defeated him and left, Imperial Zenith Dao Lord intervened and glimpsed the terrifying sword behind her, which injured him and caused several Time Branches to collapse.

In the Peaceful Realm, Daoist Xuanling prepared to ascend while Taiping Daoist Jiang Lin faced growing pressure from ambitious Profound Penetrations.
