• Xiao Bai revealed that her ancestors had migrated from a higher-dimensional world alongside the Heavenly Emperor at the end of the previous era.

• Xiao Bai told Wan Jianyi and the others that her ancestors came from a higher-dimensional world and that Kunlun was a sacred demi-plane, though she did not know its location.

• Faxiang came down from the mountain to welcome Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu visited Heavenly Sound Temple to ask Abbot Puhong for the temple’s Heavenly Tome volume so the world could unite the five volumes and face the Outer Realm Demons. After Puhong helped Zhang Xiaofan understand that protecting the world was also protecting the sleeping girl he loved, Zhang Xiaofan agreed to join the fight and renewed his resolve.

Zhang Xiaofan began unifying the four volumes of the Heavenly Tome with the Ancient Immortal-Slaying Sword inside the Rebirth Pagoda, while his allies and the Rebirth Grand Array protected him. As the perilous fusion plunged him into memories of Grass Temple Village, Bi Yao appeared and urged him to become strong enough to protect what he loved.

• Master Puhong led Zhang Xiaofan and the others into the Rebirth Pagoda to begin the Heavenly Tome unification.
• Zhang Xiaofan sat on the white jade lotus platform as Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, Bi Yao, Master Puhong, and Faxiang formed a protective barrier around him.

• Li Xiaoyu told Lu Xueqi that Xiao Fan had identified the Sea-Calming Pearl, Armillary Sphere, and Heavenly Emperor Seal as relics needed to create a celestial stairway to Kunlun.
• Li Xiaoyu chose to travel with Lu Xueqi and Xiao Bai while the rest of the Green Cloud Sect stayed behind to guard against the Outer Realm Demons.

• The Sea Siren Queen led Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, and Xiao Bai through the passage to her royal city and into her crystal palace.

Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, and Xiao Bai entered the Abyss of Return, where they faced its chaotic laws and deadly guardians. As the Void Predators attacked, Li Xiaoyu fought back with the Autumn Water Sword and an azure Golden Dragon.

• The Sea Siren Queen told Li Xiaoyu that the Abyss of Return lay in the deepest part of the East Sea and warned him of the dangers ahead.
• Seven days later, the Sea Siren Queen guided Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, and Xiao Bai to the massive vortex marking the Abyss of Return, then left them to proceed alone.

• The Sea Emperor emerged, lifted his wounded son, and prepared to attack Li Xiaoyu for trespassing.
• Xiao Bai recognized the Sea Emperor, who recognized her as the Nine-Tail Celestial Fox, and she offered him an opportunity connected to the Heavenly Emperor.

Li Xiaoyu won the Sea Emperor’s trust by revealing the dragon soul in his Wine Gourd and received the Sea-Calming Pearl, along with the East Sea sea clan’s promise to fight the Outer Realm Demons. Back at Green Cloud Mountain, he and the others combined the pearl with the Bone of Time to locate another relic of the Heavenly Emperor: the former site of the Demon Sect Sacred Hall in the Northwest Wilderness.

• Xiao Bai told the Sea Emperor that Li Xiaoyu was the Heavenly Emperor’s successor, and Li Xiaoyu revealed the ancient dragon soul in his Wine Gourd, prompting the Sea Emperor and his warriors to bow to him.

• At Green Cloud Mountain, Li Xiaoyu placed the Sea-Calming Pearl beside the Bone of Time while Zhou Yixian used his heavenly calculation art to decipher their secrets.
• The artifacts produced a clearer star map that revealed the next coordinate: the former site of the Demon Sect Sacred Hall in the Northwest Wilderness.

Zhou Yixian revealed that the Heavenly Emperor had placed the Armillary Sphere beneath the Northwest Wilderness to suppress a weak point in the seal against the Outer Realm Demons. Li Xiaoyu led Dawn Squad into the corrupted Demon Realm to retrieve it, where they found Jin Ping'er's Holy Mother Sect fighting a desperate battle against Demon Remains.

• Zhou Yixian explained that the Heavenly Emperor had built the Demon Sect's holy temple to guard a spatial weak point and left the Armillary Sphere there to suppress and monitor it.
• Li Xiaoyu decided to lead Dawn Squad into the Northwest Wilderness, since only he could awaken and safely recover the Armillary Sphere.

• Dawn Squad entered the corrupted Demon Realm and flew deeper into its dark purple landscape.
• Li Xiaoyu led Dawn Squad toward the sound of battle and found Jin Ping'er's Holy Mother Sect on the verge of being overwhelmed by thousands of Demon Remains.

Li Xiaoyu rescued Jin Ping'er and the Holy Mother Sect from a horde of Demon Remains, then revealed that he sought the Heavenly Emperor's relics. Jin Ping'er warned him that the Armillary Sphere lay in a corrupted, deadly region of the Demon Realm, but Li Xiaoyu remained determined to go there.

• Li Xiaoyu arrived in time to save Jin Ping'er from a colossal Demon Remains and led the Dawn Squad in annihilating the black tide.
• At the Holy Mother Sect's camp, Li Xiaoyu showed Jin Ping'er the Sea-Calming Pearl and explained the Heavenly Emperor's relics and the threat of the Outer Realm Demons.
• Li Xiaoyu told Jin Ping'er that the Armillary Sphere was likely in the former site of the Demon Sect's holy hall, deep in the Demon Realm.
• Jin Ping'er warned Li Xiaoyu that the region's living demonic energy had killed or corrupted sect members and that her forces could barely contain it.
• Li Xiaoyu apologized to Jin Ping'er for arriving too late.

Li Xiaoyu and his allies entered the Demon Realm to reclaim the Armillary Sphere, which they believed was deep beneath the Demon Sect Sacred Hall and fueling the pollution. They reached the transformed Sacred Hall and began battling a vast horde of Demon Remains.

• Jin Ping'er told Li Xiaoyu that pollution and Demon Remains grew stronger near the former Sacred Hall, where she suspected a source like the northern Demon Seed was hidden.
• Li Xiaoyu concluded that the Armillary Sphere was attracting demonic energy and revealed that the Sea-Calming Pearl could restrain it; Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi agreed to join his mission.
• The next morning, an elite squad from three factions traveled deeper into the Demon Realm, where Lu Xueqi and Jin Ping'er easily defeated attacking Demon Remains.
• The squad reached the Sacred Hall, now a demonic nest surrounding a Nether Abyss, and Li Xiaoyu identified the crater as the likely hiding place of the Armillary Sphere.
• Thousands of empowered Demon Remains surged toward the squad, and Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, and Jin Ping'er charged into battle.

Li Xiaoyu’s group reached the entrance to the Nether Abyss, where they faced the awakened, demon-corrupted Heavenly Fiend Bright King. As Li Xiaoyu fought the monster, Bi Yao’s dormant power began to awaken at Heavenly Sound Temple.

• Jin Ping'er, Lu Xueqi, and Dawn Squad fought through the Demon Remains until they opened a path to the Nether Abyss.
• At the abyss entrance, the corrupted Heavenly Fiend Bright King awakened and blocked the way.
• Li Xiaoyu explained that the monster combined divine power with demonic immortality and could attack their souls through the Laws of Slaughter.
• Jin Ping'er, Lu Xueqi, and Dawn Squad engaged the surrounding Demon Remains while Li Xiaoyu faced the Heavenly Fiend Bright King alone.
• The monster struck Li Xiaoyu with all six weapons, but a golden vortex appeared and left him unharmed.
• At Heavenly Sound Temple, Bi Yao convulsed as the Holy Mother's divine power awakened, and Master Puhong told Zhang Xiaofan he had come for her.

Bi Yao's Holy Mother's power awakened, and Zhang Xiaofan agreed to help her fully awaken it despite the risks. Her power descended on the demonized Heavenly Fiend Bright King in the Northwest Wilderness, giving Li Xiaoyu and Lu Xueqi an opening to attack.

• Master Puhong explained that Bi Yao had inherited the Nether Holy Mother's divinity and warned that its clash with the corrupted Heavenly Fiend Bright King could destroy her Cultivation or soul.
• Zhang Xiaofan agreed to use his Cultivation and state of mind to help Bi Yao awaken her power, and Master Puhong ordered Faxiang to gather the monks of Arhat Hall for the Subduing Demon Array.
• A pillar of Holy Mother's light descended on the demonized Bright King, purifying his demonic aura and revealing to Li Xiaoyu that Bi Yao was helping them.
• The Bright King unleashed his demonic origin and formed black chains to resist the holy light, while Li Xiaoyu urged Lu Xueqi to lend him her strength.
• Lu Xueqi summoned Nine Heavens' Mystic Thunder against the Bright King as Li Xiaoyu poured his Cultivation into the Wine Gourd.

Li Xiaoyu and his allies defeated the demonized Bright King, entered the Nether Abyss, and recovered the Armillary Sphere. Back at Green Cloud Mountain, they began using it to locate the final Heavenly Emperor relic, the Heavenly Emperor Seal.

• Li Xiaoyu and Lu Xueqi overwhelmed the demonized Bright King, and Li Xiaoyu swallowed it with the Wine Gourd.
• Li Xiaoyu, Lu Xueqi, and Jin Ping'er descended into the Nether Abyss and found the Armillary Sphere in a starry realm.
• Li Xiaoyu absorbed the Armillary Sphere into his body, then used the Sea-Calming Pearl to flood and seal the Nether Abyss rift.
• Li Xiaoyu and the others returned to Green Cloud Mountain and showed the Armillary Sphere to Wan Jianyi, Zhou Yixian, and Xiao Bai.
• Li Xiaoyu joined the experts in deciphering the Armillary Sphere to find the Heavenly Emperor Seal.

Li Xiaoyu discovered that the Heavenly Emperor Seal had shattered, and that its three largest fragments lay in the past, present, and future. He located the present-day fragment on Green Cloud Mountain and revealed that Ancestor Qingye had fused it with the mountain’s earth veins to suppress the Immortal-Slaying Sword’s malevolent aura.

• Li Xiaoyu used the Armillary Sphere to learn that the Heavenly Emperor Seal had shattered during the ancient war against the Outer Realm Demons, and that its three largest fragments could be used to reforge it.
• Li Xiaoyu and the others began searching for the fragment in the present, and he followed its resonance through the starfield to Green Cloud Mountain.
• Li Xiaoyu identified the fragment’s hiding place on Green Cloud Mountain and said Ancestor Qingye had obtained it.
• Li Xiaoyu explained that Ancestor Qingye had fused the fragment with Green Cloud Mountain’s earth veins to suppress the malevolent aura within the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Li Xiaoyu told Zhang Xiaofan that the fragment of the Heavenly Emperor Seal was hidden in Green Cloud Mountain’s dragon vein core, which only Zhang Xiaofan could locate with the united Heavenly Tome. Zhang Xiaofan agreed to return, and the group opened the hidden entrance to the dragon vein’s heart.

• Li Xiaoyu explained that Ancestor Qingye had hidden the Heavenly Emperor Seal fragment in an independent space at the core of Green Cloud Mountain’s dragon vein.
• Li Xiaoyu visited Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao at Heavenly Sound Temple and asked Zhang Xiaofan to help find the fragment.
• Zhang Xiaofan agreed to return to Green Cloud Mountain after Bi Yao silently showed him her support.

Li Xiaoyu and his companions reached the Dragon Vein's core, where they found a fragment of the Heavenly Emperor Seal guarded by an indestructible barrier and met Ancestor Qingye's remnant soul. Ancestor Qingye revealed why he had preserved the fragment and told Li Xiaoyu that he must pass a final trial before claiming it.

• Li Xiaoyu led Lu Xueqi, Wan Jianyi, and Zhang Xiaofan through the passage into the golden ocean at Green Cloud Mountain's Dragon Vein core.
• Li Xiaoyu approached the Heavenly Emperor Seal fragment, but its barrier neutralized his power and prevented him from touching it.
• Ancestor Qingye's remnant soul appeared and explained that he had fused the fragment with the dragon vein to suppress a dangerous sword and preserve hope against the Outer Realm Demons.
• Ancestor Qingye praised Zhang Xiaofan and said the group had earned his recognition as the world's last hope.
• Ancestor Qingye told Li Xiaoyu he would have to pass a final trial before taking the fragment, since its authority could change the world's balance.
