Lu Zhen entered the Canghua Secret Realm seeking life-extending medicine, killed the Great Luo Divine Dynasty’s Divine Scion during a deadly contest, and returned to face an inquiry over the death. As the Heavenly Punishment Bureau weighed a five-hundred-year prison sentence, Lu Zhen strengthened himself through a monthly settlement.

• Lu Zhen killed the assassins Lian Cheng and Kuya, then left for the Canghua Secret Realm with Ji Changkong and his hidden allies.
• Lu Zhen explored the secret realm, found rare treasures, and joined Pavilion Master Chu’s group in a hunt for a Longevity-Extending Immortal Medicine, but the Divine Scion claimed the prize and ordered Lu Zhen to scout the Ten-Thousand Ravines Maze.
• Lu Zhen discovered an ancient Immortal City, lured Blood Butcher Old Fiend and Old Fiend Minggu into Guga’s ambush, and entered the city with the other explorers.
• Lu Zhen survived the Immortal City’s duels and killed Wu Lingyun in the final free-for-all, then claimed a pitch-black flying sword before the city expelled him.
• The Heavenly Eagle Marquis ordered Lu Zhen’s arrest after the Divine Scion’s death, but Venerable Xuantian Sword disrupted the Black Smolder Guards and helped Lu Zhen face questioning instead.
• Divine Duke Wuji pressed the Heavenly Punishment Bureau to punish Lu Zhen, and eleven deputy chiefs voted for a five-hundred-year term in the Spirit-Severing Death Prison, though the Blood Prison Marquis postponed the ruling.
• Lu Zhen refused to depend on others to save him and used his monthly settlement to upgrade his treasures, perfect his cultivation record, strengthen his physique, and raise the tides of his Inner Landscape Star River.
