• White Lotus summoned Lin Chuan to her lotus pool, where she warned him that someone among the people he had brought had a problem.

Lin Chuan discussed the coming realm passageway from Central River with White Lotus and explained how he would protect the Ninja Sect by fighting or retreating into his Origin Space. After Black Xuan reported a possible sighting of the supposedly dead Zhou Hui, Lin Chuan recognized the young man beside him as Changsun Zhe.

• White Lotus asked whether the people Lin Chuan had brought were his own, then warned him vaguely that something might be wrong before discussing the approaching realm passageway.

• Black Xuan recreated the sighting from the disciple's memories, showing Zhou Hui walking with a young man.
• Lin Chuan noticed the young man had not been mentioned in the report, and Bu Lianshi identified him as Changsun Zhe.

• Lin Chuan revisited the Beauty Tomb and entered the bronze coffin, where the girl's spirit body was waiting for him.
• The girl explained that the Highnesses came from a nearly identical world and had come to destroy the cultivation world, but she refused to explain why immortals were poisonous.
• She admitted saving Changsun Zhe and Zhou Hui, and Lin Chuan agreed to let the matter of Zhou Hui's death rest.
• The girl said Moonlit came from another world, where it was called a divine artifact and had a counterpart named Sunrise.
• Lin Chuan asked whether she would act when the Central River Continent opened a realm passage to the Southern Bright Continent, then left and offered to contact her through the Ninja Sect.
• A white-robed cultivator with intersecting rings on his back arrived at the Beauty Tomb, recognized the place, and walked inside with purple light flickering in his eyes.

• A hooded white-robed cultivator reached the bronze coffin in the Beauty Tomb and spoke with the blood-red girl about the plan and her disciples Changsun Zhe and Zhou Hui.
• The cultivator revealed himself as Xiao Heng and used black and white halos with the Myriad Spirits Blood Pool to remove the girl's seal.
• Jade Maiden Shui Mochan told Lin Chuan and the others that a realm passage would likely open in half a month, bringing no Tribulation Transcendence cultivators in the first group.
• Meng Jingxian asked about a battle plan, but Southern Dipper argued that the group would have to rely on Lin Chuan against Mahayana cultivators.
• The Maha Clan old man woke in Lin Chuan's mind and claimed he had thought of a way to take the Nine Heavens Mystic Jade out of the Cosmic Light Hall, though he was uncertain.

Lin Chuan retrieved the Nine Heavens Mystic Jade and reunited all six companion immortal artifacts, which together pointed toward the missing artifact, the Longevity Realm. He identified its location as Dasi Lianshui in the heart of the Central River Continent, putting him on the trail of the Supreme One Clan and Crown Prince Hai’s goal.

• Lin Chuan followed the old man's changing hand-seal instructions until the Nine Heavens Mystic Jade detached from the Cosmic Light Hall, then angrily berated the old man for using it as a test.

• Lin Chuan sensed the Longevity Realm at Dasi Lianshui in the heart of the Central River Continent.

After receiving intelligence that three Mahayana cultivators would arrive in Southern Bright Continent in seven days, Lin Chuan planned to mislead Central River by staging a public conflict on West Creek Continent. He brought [Akatsuki] there and began arranging the performance.

• Xiao Heng predicted that Dasi Lianshui would one day become Akatsuki Domain, and Qin Lang and Jade Maiden agreed to investigate it after the current matter was over.
• Yuwen Yuan delivered a report from Zhongchuan Jin confirming that the realm passageway would open in seven days and that at least three Mahayana cultivators would initially travel to Southern Bright Continent.
• Lin Chuan and [Akatsuki] discussed their ability to fight the arriving cultivators and decided to reinforce Central River's belief that they were on West Creek Continent.
• Lin Chuan led the group through a spatial passageway to West Creek Continent, where he told Mu Bai to contact Heaven One Sword Sect and arrange a convincing staged battle.

Lin Chuan learned which three Great Ascension cultivators would enter the Southern Bright Continent through the realm passage and prepared the [Akatsuki] organization to meet them. As the passage opened in Central River, Spirit Crane Venerable, Liu Feng, and Chen Zheng vowed revenge.

• The Heaven One Sword Sect and the [Akatsuki] organization fought on the West Creek Continent, where the Jade Butterfly’s presence prevented powerful cultivators from intervening, and both sides agreed to a temporary truce.
• Lin Chuan returned to the Southern Bright Continent with his group and borrowed several people from the Heaven One Sword Sect as part of his plan to draw in Central River’s major forces.
• Zhongchuan Jin’s intelligence identified Spirit Crane Venerable, Liu Feng, and Chen Zheng as the first three Great Ascension cultivators headed to the Southern Bright Continent.
• Lin Chuan warned the group not to underestimate the attackers and explained that White Lotus would sense the realm passage’s exit once it opened.
• Cultivators in Central River’s South Sea Great Domain opened the realm passage as Spirit Crane Venerable, Liu Feng, and Chen Zheng declared their intentions to take revenge.

Lin Chuan opened a dimensional trap for the three Central River cultivators as they crossed into the Southern Bright Continent. Chen Zheng and Spirit Crane Venerable emerged in hostile spaces where their powers were restricted, while Liu Feng appeared before the Thunder Breathing Beast and Prince Gong's statue puppet.

• Prince Gong, Prince Duanzhong, Prince Chun, and Prince An waited as Spirit Crane Venerable, Liu Feng, and Chen Zheng entered the inter-realm passage.
• Lin Chuan learned the passage had appeared in the Land of Earth, then used Yomotsu Hirasaka and Amenominaka to prepare for the arrivals.

• Spirit Crane Venerable emerged into a magma-filled world, where the unfamiliar laws stopped him from using spatial abilities.
• Liu Feng emerged in a seemingly normal place and saw the Thunder Breathing Beast and Prince Gong's statue puppet watching him.

Lin Chuan trapped Chen Zheng in the Ice Snow Space with Amenominaka, where Chen Zheng’s Great Ascension strength was suppressed and Lin Chuan controlled the icy attacks. Chen Zheng realized he had to break out and began tearing the space apart, but Lin Chuan used the World Suppressing Disk to hold it together.

• Lin Chuan revealed himself to Chen Zheng inside the Ice Snow Space and explained that he wanted to test whether Chen Zheng could escape Amenominaka.
• Chen Zheng charged Lin Chuan, but mystical ice blocked him, and Lin Chuan’s endless ice spikes forced him to defend himself.
• Chen Zheng sensed that the Ice Snow Space had different laws from the cultivation world and realized Lin Chuan had created it with Amenominaka.
• Chen Zheng tried to blast his way back to the cultivation world, causing cracks and spatial ripples to spread through the Ice Snow Space.
• Lin Chuan summoned the World Suppressing Disk, which stitched the torn space together and suppressed Chen Zheng’s spatial turmoil.

Lin Chuan used the World Suppressing Disk to trap Chen Zheng inside the Ice Snow Space, where the laws of ice and snow suppressed Chen Zheng’s power. After Chen Zheng’s strongest attack missed, Lin Chuan declared it was his turn to strike.

• Chen Zheng recognized the World Suppressing Disk as Lin Chuan used it to repair the shattered space and block his escape.
• Lin Chuan froze the Ice Snow Space, suppressing Chen Zheng’s metal-element power and making movement increasingly difficult.

• Lin Chuan vanished from the attacks and reappeared elsewhere, explaining that Chen Zheng could not kill him inside the space.
• Lin Chuan raised his hand amid the blizzard and announced that it was his turn to take the stage.

Lin Chuan trapped Chen Zheng in the Ice Snow Space and used him as a sparring partner while testing his Ice Release techniques. In the Magma Space, Zero Burial faced Spirit Crane Venerable, whose attempt to kill him ended with Zero Burial explaining that he controlled the space and its laws.
