Yun Zimo’s group changed course for the Central Plains after learning that the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva had been found, while the Alliance conspirator abandoned his plan against Yi Feixuan and ordered troublemakers to target suspicious people. Yun Zimo’s group headed south, unaware of the danger awaiting them.

• Yun Zimo and the others weighed the danger of retaliation from the Dou Zun and considered the Soul Hall branch at the Dragon Burial Mountain Range.
• Yun Yue gave Yun Zimo a letter and soul message reporting that the Jia Ma Alliance was expanding and Xiao Yan’s squad had obtained the Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva and defeated Demon Flame Valley.
• Yun Zimo decided to travel directly to the Central Plains to help resolve Xiao Yi Xian’s constitution problem, and the group gathered their supplies and headed south.
• At the Southwest Tribal Alliance headquarters, a shadowy figure berated a one-armed black-robed man after six Dou Zong died and the plot against Yi Feixuan failed.
• The shadowy figure revoked the order against Yi Feixuan, planned to publicly reward her and the Mangshan Tribe, and ordered his contacts to stir up trouble and kill suspicious people.

Yun Zimo realized the Southwest Alliance's planned ceremony for Yi Feixuan and the Mangshan Tribe was a trap meant to draw him out, but Yun Yue's illusion gave him a way to act without exposing himself. After Yun Qingfeng and Yun Yue located the Crane Camel clan's refuge, Yun Zimo took control of a Crane Camel corpse to carry out his plan.

• Yun Qingfeng reported that the Southwest Alliance had lifted its blockade on Yi Feixuan and planned to honor him and the Mangshan Clan Leader, while Yun Zimo recognized that the ceremony could be a trap.
• The Mangshan Clan Leader sent a message warning Yun Zimo that the mastermind was targeting him and urging him to leave the Southwest Continent.

Afterward, Yun Zimo intercepted another messenger and uncovered the mastermind’s plans, prompting him to revise his own strategy.

• Yun Zimo arrived at the Dragon Burial Mountain Range and met Jiu Que, then asked to speak with Yin Long about cooperation.
• Yun Zimo told Yin Long that outsiders had killed six Crane Camel Dou Zong and might be connected to Yao Chen, convincing him to accept the target’s location in exchange for doubled payment.
• Yun Zimo left the Soul Hall branch and sensed a messenger heading toward the mountain range, so Yun Yue stopped him with the Cloud Mist Illusion.
• Yun Zimo and Yun Yue used the illusion to learn the messenger’s thoughts, then Yun Zimo opened the jade slip and discovered the mastermind’s plan.
• Yun Zimo concluded that the plan had to be greatly changed.

Yun Zimo spread rumors about an opportunity to break through to Dou Zun to draw out the hidden forces hunting his group. As the pursuit intensified and the Southwest Alliance sent troops south, Yun Zimo continued leading his companions toward South Continent while suspecting Black Robe was manipulating the hunt.

• Yun Qingfeng reported that Dou Zong-level factions had been ordered to hunt travelers heading south, and Yun Zimo told his companions to make their supposed breakthrough opportunity seem real.
• Rumors claiming outsiders carried a method to reach Dou Zun spread across the Southwest Continent and drew more factions into the hunt.
• Black Robe reported the growing unrest to the Southwest Alliance, whose hidden figure decided to request a crackdown on the rebels.
• Yun Zimo's group evaded another pursuit, with Yun Yue and Qingfeng delaying the hunters before escaping themselves.
• Yun Zimo led his disguised companions south and suspected Black Robe and the Alliance were using the unrest to capture them.

Yun Zimo and his companions reached the Nine Nether Heavenly Ravine, where the Southwest Alliance had sealed the border and seized the floating bridge. They launched an attack to draw the guards away, leaving Yun Yun and A Li a chance to escape, but the assault began with Du Bi discovering that the mist suppressed their senses.

• Yun Zimo hid Yun Yun and A Li in the forest before continuing toward the southern border with Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Qingfeng, and Yun Yue.
• At the Nine Nether Heavenly Ravine, Li Zitong commanded the Southwest Alliance blockade and ordered his troops to watch for Yun Zimo's group.
• Yun Zimo and Yun Yue found the ravine heavily guarded and arranged for Yun Yun and A Li to flee once the bridge guards were drawn away.
• Yun Zimo spread white mist over the ravine as Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng leapt into it and Xiao Yi Xian attacked Li Zitong with a poisonous palm.
• Du Bi blocked Xiao Yi Xian's attack, was poisoned, and realized the mist was suppressing the guards' senses and perceptions.

Yun Zimo, Yun Yue, and Yun Qingfeng fought Li Zitong while Yun Yun and Ju Li escaped across the Heavenly Ravine’s Floating Bridge. Just as Li Zitong’s strongest attack threatened to overwhelm them, Dao Li intervened and declared that the Dark Night Clan wanted Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng.

• Yun Zimo used the fog to ambush Li Zitong’s forces, then drew Li Zitong away as Yun Yun and Ju Li crossed the floating bridge toward the Southern Province.
• Yun Zimo, Yun Yue, and Yun Qingfeng activated the Three Talents Sword formation and struck Li Zitong with the Wind and Cloud Palm, but he countered with powerful Dou Zun treasure artifacts.
• Li Zitong used the Azure Thunder Finger, breaking through the Wind and Cloud Palm as Yun Zimo and the others prepared to risk their strongest powers.
• A pitch-black fish-shaped magical beast swallowed Li Zitong’s Heaven-Piercing Finger and vanished underground, shaking the battlefield.
• Dao Li appeared, retrieved the black flag, and told Li Zitong that the Dark Night Clan wanted Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng.

Dao Li rescued Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng from Li Zitong, while Yun Yun and Ju Li were ambushed by Soul Hall forces as they crossed the Heavenly Ravine. They escaped after Ju Li revealed her Jumang Divine Bird power, but Li Man struck her with a spatial attack, leaving her fate uncertain.

• Dao Li revealed his spirit origin to Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng and persuaded them to leave with him after Yun Zimo urged them to go.
• Li Zitong objected when Dao Li tried to take more people, so Dao Li carried Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng away with his banner.

• A body-cultivating Dou Zun attacked Yun Yun and Ju Li, but Ju Li summoned the Jumang Divine Bird and carried them away.
• Li Man launched a Space-Ripping Strike that pierced Ju Li's chest, then returned to the north bank to pursue the others.

Li Zitong’s forces cornered Yun Zimo and Xiao Yi Xian in the Nine Nether Heavenly Ravine, but the battle shifted when Yi Feixuan arrived with an order from the Alliance and Old Monster Hou chose to protect Yun Zimo. The chapter ended with Li Zitong facing Old Monster Hou’s demand to take the young man.

• Li Man claimed that Ju Li had died from his Space-Ripping Strike, but Yun Zimo sensed that his Origin Sword Force had kept her barely alive and vowed to kill Li Man.
• Xiao Yi Xian defeated Du Bi, and Li Zitong tried to recruit her before an aura from the Southwest Alliance signaled that someone had reached Dou Zun.
• Yi Feixuan arrived as a Dou Zun with an order for Li Zitong to return, but Li Zitong defied it and sent Li Man to fight Yi Feixuan.
• Li Zitong attacked Yun Zimo with a Dou Zun treasure, and Yun Zimo countered with a flame-wreathed spear that was also a Dou Zun treasure.
• Old Monster Hou stepped between Li Zitong and Yun Zimo, declaring that he wanted Yun Zimo.

Old Monster Hou drove Li Zitong and the other pursuers away, then led Yun Zimo, Xiao Yi Xian, Dao Li, and their companions toward the Monster Clan’s hidden refuge in Southern Province. The group entered a concealed passage to Monster Valley, while Yun Zimo resolved to reunite with Yun Yun and Ju Li once the immediate danger had passed.

• Old Monster Hou confronted Li Zitong and forced him to withdraw with the Rebellion Suppression Army, while the other factions and Jiu Que’s Soul Hall forces also departed.
• Yun Zimo thanked Old Monster Hou, who invited him and Dao Li’s group to leave with him; they crossed the floating bridge toward Southern Province.

• Old Monster Hou explained that Li Siyuan was unlikely to openly attack the Monster Clan for now, but warned Yun Zimo to be cautious once they left its protection.
• Old Monster Hou opened a hidden spatial passage in a small tribe, and Yun Zimo and the others followed him into Monster Valley.

Yun Zimo and his companions entered Monster Valley through a guarded passage and met Ji Xiaoman, who led them to rest while Old Monster Hou went to the Monster Inscription Stele Forest. As Yun Zimo studied the valley’s unusual layout, the Storage Ring Yao Lao had given him briefly glowed and went dark.

• Old Monster Hou led Yun Zimo and the others through a hidden spatial passage and a shifting mountain formation to a doorway into Monster Valley.
• Yun Yue wondered whether the Monster Clan was hiding from a powerful enemy, but Yun Zimo chose to enter the valley without commenting.
• Ji Xiaoman told Old Monster Hou that her Great Father had summoned him to the Monster Inscription Stele Forest, and Old Monster Hou left to investigate.
• Ji Xiaoman introduced herself and guided Yun Zimo’s group through the valley while Yun Yue began chatting with her.
• Yun Zimo examined the valley’s buildings and sensed that their arrangement linked the surrounding energies, while Yao Lao’s Storage Ring briefly glowed and fell silent.

Ji Xiaoman brought Yun Yue and the others to meet Hu Qing, while signs of an ancient prophecy stirred the Monster Inscription Stele Forest. As Yun Zimo’s group weighed the dangers around them, Hu Qing and the High Priest reflected on the Monster Clan’s uncertain future and the Dark Elves’ return.

• Ji Xiaoman reunited with her mother, Hu Qing, who welcomed Yun Yue and the others as guests.
• Hu Qing recalled the Monster Clan’s prophecy, and the High Priest sensed a vision at the Monster Inscription Stele Forest before calling for Ying Zun, Hou Zun, and Mo Zun.

• Mo Zun explained that the Monster Saint had established the Stele Forest to honor the dead and that the Monster Clan risked losing its inheritance.
• A lineage lord condemned Yun Zimo as a lowly creature of inferior bloodline and objected to letting him enter the Stele Forest.

Yun Zimo defended the outsiders’ right to enter the Monster Inscription Stele Forest, provoking the line masters until Ying Zun and the other great venerables approved their entry. A flashback revealed that the decision had been made a month earlier after Hou Zun showed the others a spear bearing Bone Chilling Flame, raising suspicions that Yao Chen might still be alive.

• Night Moon Dog Master Ye Quan accused the outsiders of defiling the sacred stele forest, and Yun Zimo rebuked his claims about bloodline purity.
• Yun Zimo argued that races survived through civilization and change rather than merely clinging to bloodline inheritance, angering the line masters.
• Ying Zun challenged Ye Quan’s objection and confirmed that the outsiders could enter the stele forest, with Hou Zun also agreeing.
• A month earlier, Hou Zun showed Ying Zun, Mo Zun, and Hu Qing a spear bearing Bone Chilling Flame and said Yun Zimo had brought it out.
• Mo Zun suggested observing the outsiders for a month, and the others agreed.

Yun Zimo entered the Monster Inscription Stele Forest with Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng, hoping its mysteries might explain his recurring headaches. Inside, they discovered a living landscape that transformed into a vast forest of steles when viewed through their soul bodies, while Hu Qing learned that Xiao Man had entered the forest the day before.

• Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng failed to uncover the Monster Inscription Stele Forest’s secrets, and Yun Zimo entered it through a plain wooden door under the Monster Clan’s watch.
• Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng followed Yun Zimo into the forest after turning themselves into their origins, and the three found a lush, seemingly peaceful world.
• Yun Yue and Yun Zimo discovered they could form soul bodies, through which they saw a gray world filled with crystal steles and a winding path.
• Hu Qing checked the entry records and found that Ji Heng and Yun Zimo had entered the forest the previous day.
• Hu Qing learned that Xiao Man had entered using Hou Zun’s token and confronted Hou Zun about failing to report it.

Hu Qing confronted Hou Zun after he sealed the Stele Forest, while Yun Zimo and his companions searched the strange realm for its core. They discovered a hidden wooden house and met Ji Yuan, who introduced himself as Xiaoman’s father.

• Hou Zun gave Hu Qing his token and seal, and Mo Zun said the activated Stele Forest formation had sealed the realm.
• Hu Qing struck Hou Zun, and Ying Zun took him away to have his mystic bones pierced and lock him in the Monster Suppression Hall.
• Yun Qingfeng tried to control the strange wind but found it had no spirituality and tried to devour him.
• Yun Zimo, Yun Yue, and Yun Qingfeng explored the realm’s upper boundary, then Yun Zimo heard a strange voice and used the Three Treasures to reveal a hidden wooden house.
• Ji Xiaoman appeared at the house, and the three men entered, where Ji Yuan introduced himself as Xiaoman’s father.

Ji Yuan explained that the world was nearing destruction and revealed that Yun Zimo’s fate and cultivation path were being undermined by a backlash against his fortune. He began describing an ancient era before Dou Qi became the continent’s mainstream cultivation method.

• Ji Yuan told Yun Zimo and his companions that the strange figures were the drained souls of Monster Clan heroes and that a Spirit-Devouring Gale was one of the world-ending calamities.
• Ji Yuan revealed that the small world was falling into the void, and Xiaoman emerged from a scroll in fear that her father would die.
• Ji Yuan demonstrated Finger-Painting into Universe, explained his ability to perceive their thoughts, and sent the sleeping Xiaoman into a painting.
• Ji Yuan warned Yun Zimo that advancing too quickly on the path of unifying the Three Treasures had depleted his fortune and could lead to his death at Dou Zun, while his faction might also collapse.
• Yun Zimo recognized that his recent misfortunes and erratic decisions seemed to have been manipulated, and Ji Yuan asked when Dou Qi cultivation had become the continent’s mainstream method.
• Ji Yuan described a distant, unrecorded age when the continent was wild and many cultivation methods may have contended, citing murals he had seen in an ancient ruin.

Ji Yuan explained the Origin Beginning Method and how his mistaken cultivation had contributed to the Monster Clan’s downfall. He urged Yun Zimo to pursue the method and gather fortune across the continents, while warning that a destined figure already claimed the western continent and the world faced an age of decline.

• Ji Yuan recounted how Origin Beginning spread civilization, left behind a method based on the Three Treasures, and gave Yun Zimo the Origin Beginning Imprint.
• Yun Zimo realized that the Origin Beginning Method comprised three interwoven methods, and Ji Yuan admitted he had cultivated it incorrectly for lack of wisdom-root.
• Ji Yuan described how his rise to nine-star Dou Sheng failed to lead to becoming a Dou Di and helped bring about the Monster Clan’s ruin and the Monster Saint’s sacrifice.
• Ji Yuan recognized Yun Zimo’s connection to Yao Chen, sealed the jade hairpin, and told him to give it to Yao Chen.
• Ji Yuan judged that Yun Zimo’s fortune could rise through the two acquired spirits and urged him to gather resources and fortune from the south, east, and north, especially the East Sea.
• Ji Yuan warned that a destined figure held the western continent’s fortune and that the continent might enter an age of decline if the child of destiny failed to overcome its limits.

Yun Zimo rejected Ji Yuan’s offer to stake everything on the Origin Beginning Method and chose to keep forging his own path. Ji Yuan completed his enlightenment, entrusted Xiaoman and the Monster Clan to Yun Zimo, and died; after the Spirit Hero Realm collapsed, Yun Zimo was swept away by an End of Era Storm while sending Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng toward the Central Plains, leaving Xiao Yi Xian to hope for his return.

• Yun Zimo refused to rely entirely on the Origin Beginning Method, and Ji Yuan accepted his choice before attaining complete enlightenment.
• Ji Yuan sent the Monster Clan’s ancestral spirits into Xiaoman, entrusted her to Yun Zimo, and left behind a nascent spirit that became a bracelet on Yun Zimo’s wrist.

• Yun Zimo used the Origin Sword to open a passage and sent Yun Yue and Yun Qingfeng through before the End of Era Storm swept him away.
• Yun Yue told Xiao Yi Xian that Yun Zimo was still alive, and she resolved to meet him again in the Central Plains.

While Yun Zimo remained unconscious after being swept through a spatial storm, his body began recovering inside an undersea bubble, where the Blue Beast Lan Sai carried him to the Hainan Dragon Palace. The Four Sea Dragon Kings discovered him near the Sea Eye and decided to return him to its depths, leaving his fate uncertain.

• A strange vortex appeared on the East Sea shore, and a figure carrying a huge gourd stepped out.

A purple-gold-red gourd arrived in the East Sea to investigate Yun Zimo, an anomaly cultivating inside the sea eye, and discovered that he had a connection to a Dao lineage from beyond the shadow worlds. After the Grand Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable bestowed the Tao Te Ching on Yun Zimo, he entered a deeper state of cultivation while the gourd departed.

• A young Daoist used the Heaven Gourd Art to travel underwater and slipped past the East Sea Dragon Palace defenses toward the sea eye.
• The Daoist transformed into a tiny gourd and found Yun Zimo cultivating inside the sea eye, where Yun Zimo absorbed runes with his devouring power.
• The gourd examined Yun Zimo's fate and asked about his sect and fortuitous encounters, then learned he was connected to the Origin Beginning method.
• The gourd explained that Yun Zimo's world was a shadow world and that Dao lineages beyond the heavens placed countless potential candidates within such worlds.
• Yun Zimo shared his wind-and-cloud method, and the Grand Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable instructed the gourd to give him the Tao Te Ching.
• Yun Zimo combined the methods and entered deeper cultivation as the gourd recorded his insights, then left the sea eye to explore the shadow world.

After emerging from a three-year seclusion beneath the sea, Yun Zimo assessed his transformed cultivation and learned about the Origin Beginning methods.

• Yun Zimo overheard people discussing unrest in the East Sea after the rosy light around the Sea Eye vanished.
