The exchange began with a sword-art challenge, but Chen Lie recognized that swordplay was a weakness and stepped away while the other guests studied it.

• Zhang Liwu warned Chen Lie to avoid conflicts, gave him fifty thousand Sacred Martial Treasure Notes, and explained Commandery Princess Chengning’s status and power.
• Chen Lie and Zhang Liwu reached Prince Rui’s Residence, where the maids initially refused Chen Lie entry because his invitation was blank and lacked a local co-signer.

The chapter ended when Chen Lie recognized Yun Youyou, the woman he had once held hostage, as she arrived to explain the method.

• Yan Mowu demonstrated three moves of the Heavenly Shadow Sword Art, and the guests were ordered to comprehend a move within half an hour to qualify for the exchange.
• Twenty-seven people passed the test; Chen Lie initially faced dismissal but identified himself as Starry Sky University's top freshman, so the girl in black granted him a Star Olive Leaf.

• Yun Youyou explained an ultimate realm cultivation method, and Qin Zhenkui offered a promotion and potential rewards for completed circulation pathways.
• Chen Lie recognized the method as one for cultivating the five divine treasuries and used techniques remembered from the Central Galactic Empire to draw two pathways, withholding and altering parts of them.
• Chen Lie helped Dong Changnan complete a pathway in exchange for his help approaching Qin Zhenkui, and they submitted their work before leaving with blank parchment for a second assignment.
• Chen Lie and Dong Changnan watched Qin Zhenkui's Coming-of-Age Ceremony, where Qin Yingyue offered her a Third-Tier Eight-Star Star Beast.

At her coming-of-age celebration, Qin Zhenkui received an eight-star Holy Flame Griffin and refused to help representatives from the four fringe star regions inspect Deathtrap Ridge. When she ordered her guards to break their arms and legs, Chen Lie challenged her to honor the reward she had promised for an accepted true qi circulation diagram.

• Qin Zhenkui mocked Chen Lie's work, and he challenged her to examine the diagram before judging it.

• Qin Zhenkui challenged Chen Lie, Qi Donglin, Tang Xiaowen, and Zhao Guangchen to pluck a long feather from her Holy Flame Griffin in exchange for permission to enter Deathtrap Ridge.
• The four men fought the griffin on the lake, and Chen Lie used water god true qi to suppress its flames during the whistle interval.
• The trainer’s altered whistle restored the griffin’s strength, and it struck Chen Lie into the lake; Chen Lie then used Kang Metal Dragon’s Spirit-Fixing to immobilize the beast.
• Chen Lie plucked a feather and broke the griffin’s right wing with his Five Gods Palm, then collected Qin Zhenkui’s written authorization after she tossed it to the ground.
• Qi Donglin and Tang Xiaowen later won feathers and received permits, while Zhao Guangchen withdrew; a beast tamer reported that the griffin needed half a month to recover.
• Chen Lie told Dong Changnan that he had obtained authorization to enter Deathtrap Ridge, and they left together.

Chen Lie and the Eastern Star Region delegation entered Deathtrap Ridge for the four-region contest to command the 19th Interstellar Allied Forces.

Chen Lie struggled to hold off the Western Star Region’s Seven Stars Battle Formation while Wen Ning attacked Zhu Jingxi. After discovering that Wen Ning had protection against mental power attacks, Chen Lie prepared a new tactic and ordered the Eastern Star Region team to break formation and strike in pairs.

• Tang Xiaowen led the Western Star Region’s Seven Stars Battle Formation in a renewed charge, and Chen Lie held it off with his unusually sharp five gods true qi.

The Eastern Star Region faced the stronger Southern Star Region after both teams lost the advantage of using combined strike techniques in Deathtrap Ridge’s worsening extreme weather. Chen Lie battled Qi Donglin while the Eastern fighters fell one by one, and the chapter left Zhu Jingxuan attacking Zhou Haoyu as the Eastern side’s prospects deteriorated.

The Eastern Star Region won command of the Interstellar Allied Forces’ 19th Legion, and Qi Tai asked Chen Lie to examine the unconscious Ji Yuyan.

• Zhu Jingxuan helped Xiao Sheng defeat Yuan Tianxian, while the Southern Star Region’s fighters eliminated the rest of the Eastern Star Region’s team, leaving Chen Lie alone against seven opponents.

After Chen Lie led Blue Star to victory in the Four-Sided Star Domain Contest, he healed Ji Yuyan and learned that Commandery Princess Chengning had withheld the allied-forces seal until he begged forgiveness. He went to the Crown Prince's residence and instead met Qin Zhenling, whom he pressed to recover the seal in exchange for keeping her old debt to one cosmic treasure.
