After Xia Ping defeated a hundred outer sect disciples and won five hundred thousand points, news of his illusion mastery spread through the Primordial Sacred Land. He provoked the inner sect disciples, who decided to ignore him, but one disciple accepted his challenge and lost.

• Xia Ping left the dueling platform after earning five hundred thousand points, while the other disciples accused him of trying to lure more people into losing their points.

• Xia Ping went to the inner sect territory and challenged the disciples, calling anyone who refused a dog and a sick man of the Central Universe.
• The inner sect disciples chose to ignore Xia Ping because they saw little to gain from defeating him and risked humiliation if they lost.
• An inner sect disciple impulsively accepted Xia Ping’s challenge, lost, and had “sick man of the Central Universe” carved onto his forehead.

Xia Ping explored the Primordial Sacred Land’s treasure exchange and was astonished by its vast supply of rare spirit medicines and secret arts. Cat Immortal urged him to buy an immortal-level plant lifeform to strengthen the Star Ship.

• Xia Ping opened the treasure exchange and found that his points could buy only a limited number of sacred medicines.
• Green Ox marveled at the abundance of spirit medicines that had once been impossible to find, while Xia Ping browsed the listings.
• Cat Immortal saw secret arts that Myriad Stars Saint had once struggled to obtain and recalled the hardships of rogue cultivators.
• Xia Ping wondered how to spend his million points as Cat Immortal urged him to buy an immortal-level plant lifeform for the Star Ship.

Xia Ping exchanged seven hundred thousand points for an immortal-grade Thousand-Star Vine corpse after Cat Immortal explained how it could strengthen the Star Ship. When the corpse arrived at his villa, Cat Immortal and Green Ox realized it had been killed intact by a being far beyond the Immortal level.

• Cat Immortal explained that the Thousand-Star Vine could give the Star Ship powerful defenses and attacks, and Xia Ping agreed to exchange for its corpse.

• Cat Immortal explained that the vines could extend hundreds of thousands of kilometers, while Green Ox noticed the corpse had no wounds.
• Cat Immortal concluded that a Saint far beyond the Immortal level had likely killed the Thousand-Star Vine with a single blow.

Xia Ping fused the Thousand-Star Vine remains with the Star Ship, and the World Tree gave the vine a new life and consciousness. The revived plant lifeform transformed the vessel and began exchanging energy with the World Tree, increasing Xia Ping’s mana.

• Cat Immortal engraved restriction formations on the Thousand-Star Vine and brought out the Star Ship, causing the vine to fuse with the vessel.

• Cat Immortal and Green Ox realized the spaceship had gained immense power and the vine had become a new generation of immortal-level lifeform.
• The Thousand-Star Vine returned life energy to the World Tree, and Xia Ping’s mana increased by at least a thousand years’ worth.

Xia Ping reached the peak of the Dharma Image Realm and asked Green Ox to explain the Lightning Tribulation Realm and the Sea of Bitterness. He learned that crossing the Sea of Bitterness led to Sainthood, though his powerful Primordial Spirit could make that journey exceptionally difficult.

• Xia Ping finished several days of secluded cultivation, grew twenty percent stronger, and reached the peak of the Dharma Image Realm.
• Xia Ping asked Green Ox what awaited him in the Lightning Tribulation Realm while Cat Immortal continued merging the Star Ship with the Thousand-Star Vine.
• Green Ox explained that Lightning Tribulation Realm cultivators faced tribulations as they crossed the Sea of Bitterness, also known as the River of Fate or Underworld River.
• Green Ox warned that crossing depended on the Primordial Spirit and that an excessively powerful Primordial Spirit could make the Sea of Bitterness harder to traverse.
• Xia Ping learned that reaching the other shore transformed a cultivator into an immortal-level Saint with a true spirit and an immortal body.

Xia Ping learned that Xiao Dai had awakened at the peak of the Lightning Tribulation Realm but needed more world origin energy to advance. Wei Liangsheng then invited Xia Ping to join a dangerous mission to fight other races for a newly born small world.

• Xia Ping found Xiao Dai awake and learned she was only a step away from the Saint Realm.
• Cat Immortal explained that Xiao Dai lacked world origin energy and could obtain it from newly born small worlds.
• Cat Immortal said the Gaia race did not face lightning tribulations when advancing because they were recognized by the universe's origin.
• Wei Liangsheng called Xia Ping and offered him a mission to help humans fight other races for control of a newly born small world.

Xia Ping accepted Wei Liangsheng’s invitation to join a mission to claim a newly born world, hoping to investigate its world origin. At the gathering in Green Jade City, a Primordial Sacred Land disciple objected to the Eastern Universe newcomers joining the dangerous mission, then grew angrier when he noticed Xia Ping was only in the Dharma Image Realm.

• Wei Liangsheng explained that Saints could not intervene in Ordinary District contests and that the first race to fuse a world’s origin with its token claimed the world.
• Xia Ping agreed to join Wei Liangsheng’s team, and Wei Liangsheng told him to meet at Green Jade City’s square in an hour.
• Xia Ping arrived at the square and saw Wei Liangsheng and the other Eastern Universe geniuses, who had advanced to the Lightning Tribulation Realm.
• Thirteen teams of Primordial Sacred Land disciples arrived, and a brawny man in a red vest complained that the newcomers would hold them back.
• The brawny man noticed Xia Ping’s Dharma Image Realm cultivation and accused him of being deadweight who had used a back door to join the mission.

• A companion warned the red-vested man not to provoke Xia Ping and revealed who he was.

• The Rock arrived at Durian World and plunged into it.

After Xia Ping wiped out the Eagle Race Demon Kings, the Demon Kings sent fifty Snake Race assassins to kill him. Xia Ping’s defenses shattered their swords, and his Sun Furnace burned them all to ash.

• Xia Ping refined the dead Demon Kings' soul energy into Soul Crystals and used it to strengthen his Primordial Spirit and mana.

• Xia Ping struck eighteen consecutive palms, destroying the attacks and killing nearly half of the Demon Kings.
• The surviving Demon Kings panicked, and one shouted at the Night Demons to attack.

The Night Demon Race joined the Demon Kings’ assault on Xia Ping and blanketed the region in black mist, giving the Demon Kings a chance to refine Durian World’s origin. Xia Ping defeated the Night Demon experts with an illusion technique, leaving the Demon Kings’ plan stalled and their reinforcements unconscious.
