• Lu Ye brushed the jellyfish aside, causing it and the surrounding jellyfish to turn fiery-red and swarm after him.
• Lu Ye tried to flee but drew an ever-growing mass of jellyfish, then stopped as they engulfed him and formed a huge sphere.
• A Saber Lotus bloomed amid the flickering fiery-red jellyfish.

Lu Ye pretended to be poisoned to lure out and kill two Fusion Dao cultivators, then searched the Starry Sky Spectacle for the gestating Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure. He came upon a bald cultivator under siege, accepted the man’s improvised plea for help, and stopped an attacker’s Dao Soldier with one hand.

• Lu Ye agreed to help and caught the attacker’s Dao Soldier in his bare hand, stopping the blow effortlessly.

Lu Ye defeated several Merging Dao cultivators and spared a bald survivor after the man offered to use his Divination Tribe ability to locate the Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure. The divination pointed Lu Ye toward the greatest harvest, but the bald man then warned that Lu Ye faced a danger balanced between life and death.

• Lu Ye killed the Merging Dao cultivator who attacked him and then slew the man's fleeing companion with his saber.
• The bald Merging Dao cultivator prostrated himself and offered to divine where the Sub-Treasure would emerge in exchange for his life.
• The bald man used Lu Ye's blood and three turtle shells to perform a divination, then pointed out the direction of the greatest harvest.
• As Lu Ye prepared to leave, the bald man warned that he would face a hair's breadth between life and death, and Lu Ye drew his saber in suspicion.

Lu Ye spared the bald Divination Tribe member after he swore his prediction of a deadly peril was true, then headed toward the danger. Outside the Starry Sky Spectacle, Kun Li and other Dao Unification cultivators realized Ba Qiu had arrived in One Man City, apparently intending to seize the Moon Wheel while their juniors were inside.

• Lu Ye stopped himself from killing the bald man after he swore by the Star Abyss Will that his warning was true, then left to investigate the predicted peril.

• Lu Ye and Perrin, a Son of the Star Abyss from Hundred Battles, met and prepared to fight.
• Perrin attacked with his silver spear, and Lu Ye recognized that it seemed to be a Sub-Treasure.

Lu Ye overpowered Perrin, a Son of the Star Abyss wielding a silver spear Sub-Treasure, but Perrin escaped using a life-saving secret treasure. Lu Ye pursued him, and Perrin raced past two Fusion Dao cultivators without stopping.

• Ba Qiu remained silent and stared at the Crag Mountain Saber in Lu Ye’s hand.

• Fang recognized Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier as a member of the Weapon Race and explained that its power could weaken enemies by sealing their strength.
• Perrin charged toward the wounded Lu Ye to take his head.

• Fu Wei said he had an unreasonable request if Lu Ye truly wanted to repay him, and Lu Ye asked him to explain.

As Lu Ye recovered in hiding, a beautiful young man found them, shattered their concealment, and confronted Lu Ye with unexplained hostility.

• Fu Wei asked to join Lu Ye’s Uniting Dao City, and Lu Ye said he would consider it.
• Fu Wei explained that his divination showed Lu Ye had already obtained his greatest gain, prompting Lu Ye to challenge the prediction because the Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure had not appeared.

Lu Ye fought a hostile young man whose body-fusing Dao Soldier and secret technique gave him the advantage. Lu Ye identified the technique as the Phoenix Race’s Ox-Striking Mystic Art, and the young man’s reaction to Su Yan’s name suggested personal jealousy as he threatened to kill Lu Ye.

• Fu Wei recognized the young man as someone dangerous and fled after warning Lu Ye to avoid him.
• Lu Ye attacked the young man, but his stronger opponent used a body-fusing Dao Soldier and the Ox-Striking Mystic Art to injure him through his saber.

• Lu Ye identified the Ox-Striking Mystic Art and concluded that the young man belonged to the Phoenix Race.
• The young man learned that Su Yan had taught Lu Ye the secret technique, reacted with anguish, and vowed to kill him.

Lu Ye questioned Su Yun, a Phoenix Race cultivator who had tracked him because he bore the Phoenix Race's mark, then fought him after mistaking his hostility for romantic jealousy. Su Yun fled after their techniques clashed, leaving Lu Ye to suspect he was related to Su Yan and wonder whether she had come to the contest.

• Lu Ye learned that Su Yun had found him through the Phoenix Race mark left by the Phoenix Origin Blood, and asked whether Su Yan had come.

• Lu Ye noticed Su Yun's resemblance to Su Yan and reconsidered whether Su Yun was a love rival, but still did not know if Su Yan had come.

Lu Ye was drawn into One Man City, where Fang spoke with Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier while Lu Ye cultivated and discovered his Dao Power affinity had greatly improved. When a Sub-Treasure emerged, Lu Ye set out to claim it, and Fang revealed that Ba Qiu planned to use the Moon Wheel to devour the Supreme Treasure’s mysteries.

• Lu Ye was pulled into One Man City and placed Fang beside Ba Qiu’s greatsword so the two Weapon Race members could speak.
• While Fang and Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier talked, Lu Ye cultivated and gained roughly one thousand strands of Dao Power per day; Ba Qiu noticed his extraordinary cultivation efficiency.

• Lu Ye left One Man City using the Blood Escape Art, and Fang explained that Ba Qiu had come to pursue the Moon Wheel and planned to have his Dao Soldier devour the Supreme Treasure’s mystery.
• Fang said Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier had left a mark that let him use the Hehe Realm to reach One Man City, and advised Lu Ye to let her strike him when he fought a Sub-Treasure holder so she could seal his strength.

Lu Ye fought his way through the forces guarding a newly emerged Sub-Treasure and rescued Su Yun from a group of cultivators besieging him. After Lu Ye killed the attackers, Su Yun was left stunned by his strength and furious at being called “little brother-in-law.”

As they headed toward the gathered enemies, Su Yun learned that Lu Ye had killed Perrin in Ba Qiu's Dao Fusion City and was stunned that Ba Qiu had entered while controlling his own city.
