Lu Ye’s arrival gave the Undetermined Star System a chance to unite the four star systems against the Insect Nest by offering them passage to the Myriad Phenomena Sea. After Lu Ye departed, Jiang Shang arranged for Hua Sheng’s disciple to enter the Undetermined Heaven’s Revelation Pavilion ahead of the coming war.

• Lu Ye raised concerns about bringing a fleet through territory threatened by the Insect Race, and Jiang Shang promised to eliminate the Insect Nest before Lu Ye returned.
• Lu Ye left the Wuding Realm with Kang Cheng, while Hua Sheng recognized that Lu Ye had deliberately strengthened Red Sky’s standing with the Undetermined Star System.

• The Great Luo Moon Jade Realm cultivator left to negotiate with the other star systems, while Jiang Shang invited Hua Sheng’s disciple to train at the Undetermined Heaven’s Revelation Pavilion.

Lu Ye left Wuding with Kang Cheng and encountered a massive Insect Nest threatening the realm. A female Sunlight distracted an Insect Race Sunlight in battle so Lu Ye could follow her route through the starry sky toward Jade Conch.

• Kang Cheng apologized to Lu Ye and gave him a Storage Ring filled with Spiritual Fruits for Yaya.
• Lu Ye spent three months practicing against Yan Xi in the Azure Hall, trying to learn his Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique.

• The female Sunlight drew an Insect Race Sunlight into battle, and Lu Ye immediately fled aboard the Star Boat along her suggested route.

Lu Ye and Li Shang piloted their Star Boat through an Insect Race ambush, where Lu Ye’s transformed saber technique destroyed most of the attackers. As they sped onward, Li Shang realized Lu Ye’s newfound strength came from changes to the Crag Mountain Saber, while the surviving Insect Race cultivators warned of a more formidable interception ahead.

• Lu Ye and Li Shang traveled through Insect Race territory as swarms of pursuers and interceptors failed to catch their Star Boat.
• Li Shang explained that many Insect Race cultivators could survive in the starry sky without reaching the Star Constellation Realm.
• Lu Ye set Yaya aside, altered his appearance with Thousand Faces, and prepared to face a vast Insect Cloud blocking their route.
• The Star Boat tore through the Insect Cloud, and Lu Ye killed more than ten Star Constellation Insect Race cultivators with Fangs Bared.
• The surviving Insect Race cultivators anticipated a stronger interception ahead as Li Shang noticed Lu Ye had grown more powerful.
• Lu Ye recognized that his increased strength came from changes to the Crag Mountain Saber rather than from improving his own cultivation.

Lu Ye tested the newly reforged Crag Mountain Saber and Yan Xi’s Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique while fighting the Insect Race. After an ambush stopped his Star Boat, he slaughtered the attackers until their Moon Jade Realm leader entered the battle.

• Lu Ye found that the new Crag Mountain Saber cut through the Insect Race’s hard shells far more effectively than his old weapon.
• After ten days of travel, an Insect Race ambush trapped Lu Ye’s Star Boat in a web woven across the meteorites.
• Lu Ye told Yaya to stay out of the fight and used his Controlled Artifacts and Li Shang’s Soul Possession to evade and kill the surrounding Star Constellations.
• Lu Ye relied on an unfinished Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique to dart through the encirclement, leaving the Insect Race unable to follow his movements.
• The Moon Jade Realm Insect Race cultivator ordered his forces to destroy Lu Ye’s Controlled Artifacts, then charged into the battle himself.

Lu Ye used his Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique to slaughter the Insect Race Star Constellations, then chose to fight their Moon Jade Realm cultivator. He wounded the stronger foe by empowering his saber with a tide-like technique, but took a devastating punch and faced the pursuing enemy again.

• Lu Ye realized the battlefield’s life-or-death danger had taught him the true essence of Yan Xi’s Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique.
• The Insect Race Moon Jade Realm cultivator ordered the remaining Star Constellations to scatter, and Lu Ye pursued and killed those fleeing in one direction.

• Lu Ye used his movement technique to evade the cultivator’s wide-reaching attack and slashed him with a saber empowered by the Divine Edge Spirit Pattern.
• Lu Ye’s tide-like saber technique broke through the cultivator’s carapace and severed half an arm, but the cultivator’s punch shattered Lu Ye’s Sacred Guard and wounded him.
• The Talent Tree burned away the invading Magic Power as Lu Ye stopped himself dozens of miles away, only to see the wounded cultivator pursuing him.

Lu Ye survived the Insect Race Moon Jade Realm cultivator’s attack and continued his journey, then entered Fang’s Azure Hall to face the next inheritance trial. He learned that the predecessor was Green Mantis, whose relentless, increasingly powerful blade strikes overwhelmed him and ended the trial.

• Yaya frightened the Insect Race Moon Jade Realm cultivator into retreating, and the remaining Insect Race Star Constellation cultivators fled.
• Li Shang retrieved the Star Boat and gathered the dead cultivators’ Storage Rings before the group resumed their journey.

• Green Mantis appeared as the next predecessor and attacked Lu Ye with rapid, increasingly forceful Mantis Blade strikes.
• Lu Ye focused on observing Green Mantis’s movements but could only parry until a strike overwhelmed him and killed him out of the Azure Hall.

Lu Ye found a way to manifest a second saber in the Azure Hall and began training in Green Mantis’s dual-blade art as he and Li Shang traveled through Thousand Hills Tomb. More than a month into the peaceful journey, Yaya spotted an enormous Azure Bird searching through one of the pink nebulae, which lashed at it with tentacles.

• Lu Ye searched Mist Dragon’s Storage Rings, found a Magic Treasure called the Fang Saber, and discovered he could not bring it into the Azure Hall.
• Lu Ye realized the Soul Severing Saber could manifest in the hall, transformed it to resemble the Fang Saber, and began practicing Green Mantis’s dual-blade art.
• Li Shang told Lu Ye they had reached Thousand Hills Tomb, and Lu Ye gave her Soul Tempering Grass to thank her for piloting the Star Boat.
• As they traveled through the pink nebulae, Lu Ye used the journey to familiarize himself with the Fang Saber by merging drops of his Essence Blood into it.
• More than a month later, Yaya pointed out an enormous Azure Bird standing atop a nebula and searching through it as pink tentacles struck at the bird.

Lu Ye and Li Shang were pulled toward the Azure Bird, but the drowsy beast ignored them while Yaya climbed onto its head. Lu Ye explored the torn-open burial mound, found and harvested the remains of the giant worm, then resumed the journey home with Li Shang and Yaya.

• The Azure Bird tore open a pink nebula, swallowed a giant worm, and fell asleep as Lu Ye and Li Shang tried to pass by.
• The Azure Bird pulled their Star Boat close but lost interest in them, allowing Yaya to climb onto its head.
• Lu Ye and Li Shang joined Yaya atop the Azure Bird, and Lu Ye spotted the opened burial mound beneath it.

• Lu Ye spent several days cutting the worm tail into pieces and storing them in his Storage Ring.
• Lu Ye returned to Li Shang and Yaya, then set off home aboard the Star Boat.

Lu Ye navigated the Turbulent Blast Zone, surviving a Starry Sky Magnetic Storm with the Dragon Seat’s protection before Azure Bird appeared and seemingly consumed the storm. After Yaya urged him to remove the Dragon Seat, Lu Ye and Yaya climbed onto Azure Bird’s back as it prepared to depart.

• Lu Ye left Thousand Hills Tomb and entered the Turbulent Blast Zone, where he sheltered with Yaya from several Starry Sky Magnetic Storms.
• When he found no shelter from another approaching storm, Lu Ye entered it head-on with Yaya and used the Dragon Seat to withstand the force and flying meteorites.
• After more than two hours in the storm, Yaya’s aura recovered to the Moon Jade Realm, and she pulled Lu Ye toward a terrifying devouring force.
• The magnetic storm dissipated as Azure Bird appeared, and Lu Ye guessed that it had consumed the storm.
• Yaya told Lu Ye to remove the Dragon Seat, and Lu Ye then flew with her onto Azure Bird’s back as it departed.

Lu Ye returned to the Jade Snail Star System after Azure Bird carried him swiftly through the Turbulent Blast Zone, then searched for the Azure Dawn Dao Realm or Jade Snail Realm. He discovered the Clear Wind Realm and learned that it was a subordinate realm of the Azure Dawn Dao Realm, where cultivators had arrived to select new disciples.

• Azure Bird devoured Starry Sky Magnetic Storms and carried Lu Ye through the Turbulent Blast Zone, then changed direction, so Lu Ye continued onward aboard his Star Boat with Yaya.
• Lu Ye reached the border of the Jade Snail Star System and decided to find the Azure Dawn Dao Realm or Jade Snail Realm before returning to Nine Provinces.
• Lu Ye traveled for more than a month, encountered a life-filled realm, and entered it with Yaya and Li Shang to investigate the strange feeling he sensed there.
• Yaya pointed toward a bustling city, and Lu Ye took her there, where he learned the realm was called the Clear Wind Realm and was celebrating the arrival of cultivators from the Upper Realm.
• Lu Ye discovered that the Upper Realm was the Azure Dawn Dao Realm, which selected talented young cultivators from the Clear Wind Realm every ten years.

Lu Ye waited in Clear Wind City for the Azure Dawn Dao Realm, but after Li Shang and Yaya ran up a bill he had no Spirit Stones to pay. He healed Zhu Yue so her sect could keep her in the tournament, then collected Spirit Stones as payment.

• Li Shang and Yaya ate all the sugar-coated Spiritual Fruits at a stall, leaving Lu Ye to face a bill of three hundred and sixty-two High-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Lu Ye left them at the stall and appeared at the Zhengyang Sect camp, where Zhu Yue was unable to continue the tournament after being injured by Yang Fire.

• Lu Ye used the Talent Tree's power to burn away the Yang Fire and gave Zhu Yue some Spiritual Pill powder.
• The Medical Cultivators confirmed Zhu Yue was unharmed, and Zhu Shang gathered Spirit Stones from the elders and handed them to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye left the Zhengyang Sect’s camp with Zhu Yue to investigate an abnormal disturbance he sensed beneath the Clear Wind Realm. He descended into a vast abyss, where a strange, heartbeat-like rhythm grew stronger in the darkness.

• Zhu Yue awoke and learned that Lu Ye had saved her, while Lu Ye took Li Shang and Yaya around Clear Wind City.
• A Zhengyang Sect elder invited Lu Ye to the sect’s camp, where Lu Ye declined a banquet and secluded himself to cultivate.
• Zhu Yue waited outside Lu Ye’s room to thank him, and Lu Ye emerged and took her into the sky after sensing the realm’s foundation draining away.
• Lu Ye asked Zhu Yue about an abyss roughly three thousand five hundred li away, then flew there with her and descended inside.
• Zhu Yue realized she would miss the grand competition, while Lu Ye continued downward through the Primordial Magnetic Field and heard a steady, heartbeat-like thumping.

Lu Ye discovered a World Devouring Beast egg beneath the Clear Wind Realm and prepared to stop it from consuming the realm's foundation. As the egg began to crack, two Star Constellation Realm Late Stage World Devouring Beasts attacked a Star Boat from the Azure Dawn Dao Realm.

• Lu Ye descended into the Clear Wind Realm's molten core and found a World Devouring Beast egg feeding on the realm's foundation.

• The three cultivators saw two Star Constellation Realm Late Stage World Devouring Beasts and realized they were in serious danger.

Lu Ye killed a newly hatched World Devouring Beast and rushed to save Sun Ye and Tang Xiaoyue when its enraged parent threatened the Clear Wind Realm. After rescuing them, he flew to help Senior Brother Zhou, who was struggling against the other beast.

• Senior Brother Zhou drew one adult World Devouring Beast away while Sun Ye and Tang Xiaoyue tried to hold back the other.
• Lu Ye killed the hatchling at the Clear Wind Realm’s core and crushed its Core Crystal, releasing its energy to strengthen the realm.

• Lu Ye slew the World Devouring Beast with one strike, and Zhou Dingtian learned that the other beast inside the Clear Wind Realm was dead as well.
• Lu Ye reunited with Li Shang and Yaya in Clear Wind City, where they ate local delicacies while the city’s cultivators discussed the battle.

• Lu Ye asked the three cultivators to lead him to Wu Zhuo, then accepted Zhou Dingtian’s invitation to stay at the Azure Dawn Palace.

Lu Ye traveled with Zhou Dingtian and the Clear Wind Realm cultivators to the Azure Dawn Dao Realm, where Wu Zhuo challenged his qualifications as soon as he arrived. The chapter ended with Wu Zhuo’s enormous handprint crashing toward their Star Boat.

• Lu Ye learned that Zhu Yue had forfeited the grand competition after he left her behind, and Zhou Dingtian later invited her to join the journey to the Azure Dawn Dao Realm as a reward for her supposed service.
