• Su Ye stayed behind to cultivate while Feng Wu went deeper into the Celestial Realm alone.

• Su Ye spent three months studying the World Stele and concluded that the Spiritual Heavenly Realm offered longevity but not invincibility.
• Su Ye decided to create heaven within himself, using the Immortal Platform Secret Realm to nourish his body instead of advancing through the usual secret realms.

• Six months later, Su Ye's aura had weakened to barely that of a new Venerable, but he smiled because his path had become clear.

Su Ye reunited with Feng Wu and explained that he had restarted his cultivation without inscribing runes, leaving his aura weaker despite his powerful blood and qi. They fought outside the Celestial Academy, where Feng Wu pierced his palm but discovered his body remained extraordinarily tough.

• Feng Wu used Celestial Light and a Peacock Dao Phenomenon to counter Su Ye's Spatial Treasure Art, but Su Ye evaded her perception and sealed her inside a spatial painting.

• Hong Quan emerged from the void and ordered Su Ye to hand over his Spatial Treasure Art, while Su Ye stopped Feng Wu from challenging him and invited him to fight.
• Hong Quan attacked Su Ye, but Su Ye broke his palm attack with sword rays and used a sorrowful artistic conception that cost Hong Quan a thousand years of lifespan.

• Hong Quan appeared before Su Ye with a Heavenly Deity-level dragon-tendon rope engraved with Heaven-Tier Runes, intending to bind him.

• Su Ye used a Thunder Source Grass to draw out Thunder Origin Liquid and killed a middle-aged man who attacked him for the plant.

• The tribulation lightning struck Su Ye repeatedly and nearly shattered his body.
