• Ye Li realizes that Meng Yan may come from a world resembling an “infinite-flow” setting, possibly involving a Main God-like system. He questions Meng Yan to determine his origins.

• Ye Li asks about the arrival of another team and learns that they were supposed to arrive four days earlier, suggesting that Guangming’s group may already be in serious danger.
• After extracting the Nine-Turn Heavy Origin Technique from Meng Yan, Ye Li kills him and studies the technique.
• The technique strengthens the body by diverting internal force away from a normal breakthrough into the Post-Heaven Realm and circulating it through the Taoist Nine Palaces. Each turn increases physical strength but makes future breakthroughs more difficult.
• Ye Li is unconcerned about the technique’s drawbacks because his cheat, World-Shocking Wisdom, allows him to bypass ordinary cultivation difficulties.
• He activates the technique while attempting to break through. The first turn successfully improves his already perfected physique, increasing his strength by roughly ten percent.

• The advantage of cheats and systems: A method considered crippling for ordinary cultivators becomes ideal for Ye Li because World-Shocking Wisdom removes the usual limitations.
• Control versus inevitability: Ye Li tries to prevent his natural breakthrough, but the system continues pushing him toward the Post-Heaven Realm, creating a conflict between his intentions and the mechanics of his cultivation panel.
• Information as power: Ye Li gains strategic advantages by probing Meng Yan’s background and extracting a valuable cultivation technique.
• World-building and layered realms: The chapter expands the distinction between Body Tempering, the Post-Heaven Realm, the Universe Realm, and possible infinite-flow worlds.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ye Li undergoes an intense cultivation session in a secret chamber, repeatedly dispersing and rebuilding his cultivation using the Nine-Turn Heavy Origin Technique.

• Each completed turn dramatically strengthens his body. After nine turns, his physical foundation has increased by 450%.
• Ye Li realizes that the technique contains a flaw and that it can be pushed beyond its supposed limit. Through his comprehension ability, he creates a tenth turn, transforming the technique into the Ten-Turn Heavy Origin.

• Guided by World-Shocking Wisdom, his purified internal force charges into his dantian and breaks through the barrier of the Body Tempering Realm.
• Ye Li successfully reaches the early Post-Heaven Realm, with his newly formed true qi described as vast and ocean-like.
• Rather than celebrating conventionally, Ye Li releases a strange, childlike cry, symbolically expressing the joy of finally breaking free from the Body Tempering Realm.

Character Interactions
