• Bamboo Void told the old man he had come to see whether he was dead and to judge Ye Lin, but the old man warned him not to dismiss Ye Lin’s future.

• Prodi­gies and experts from the other three regions followed Ye Lin’s army to witness his attack on the Buddhist Sect, while someone could no longer sit still.

After defeating Li Changsheng, Ye Lin led the Qilin Clan army toward the Buddhist Sect’s prosperous Origin Void Great Galaxy, making his hostility clear. As he prepared to attack, the Buddhist monk Nian Yi appeared and said he had come to befriend him.

• Nian Yi offered to eradicate Li Xiaoyao’s heart demon over roughly ten years at the Buddhist Sect’s Heavenly Pool.
• Ye Lin hesitated, worrying that the treatment might make Li Xiaoyao wholeheartedly devoted to Buddhism, and Nian Yi pointed out that he was overthinking it.

Nian Yi agreed to take Li Xiaoyao away and treat the danger inside his body, while Ye Lin accepted the arrangement and led the Qilin Clan army home. The onlookers debated why the Buddhist Sect had backed down, with some calling it cowardice and others saying it had wisely recognized Ye Lin’s influence.

Ten years after Ye Lin announced he would reclaim the Southern Demon Domain, five Golden Immortal powers and their armies plunged the region into chaos. Ye Lin welcomed the disorder as he prepared to move, while the Qilin Clan and Buddhist Sect also entered the wider struggle.

• Ye Lin considered the Demon Domain’s distribution of Golden Immortal powers and noted that the Qilin Clan and Buddhist Sect had entered the struggle while five other powers remained hidden.

Li Xiaoyao returned after the Buddhist Sect removed the problem within his Primordial Spirit, and his cultivation had risen to the peak of the Primordial Unity Mystic Immortal realm. Ye Lin sent him to lead the vanguard as the group prepared to unify the Western and Southern Demon Domains, while Wang Tian distributed fasting pills to the Heavenly Demons.

• The native Golden Immortal factions sent in Half-Step Golden Immortal experts, but opposing reinforcements arrived and the core region became even more chaotic.

Xu Changsheng watched the conflict engulf the Southern Demon Domain as Ye Lin reached its core region and learned that twenty-three camps were fighting over territory and resources. With the region already divided among rival factions, Ye Lin asked whether any unoccupied land remained for his army.

• Xu Changsheng observed that the Southern Demon Domain's Golden Immortal factions were losing experts and predicted their foundations would decline after the battle.
• Ye Lin halted his army outside the core region and sent experts from the Buddhist Sect and Qilin Clan to gather intelligence.
• Three days later, the scouts reported that twenty-three camps occupied the core region and fought daily over territory and resources.
• The scouts explained that outsiders, local factions led by the Stowaways, and unknown armies were all seizing land and gathering resources.
• Ye Lin studied the map, asked whether any land remained unoccupied, and realized his army might have to fight its way into the conflict.

• Ye Lin said he would crush and kill anyone who stood in his way.

• Ye Lin summoned the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor and challenged Qin Jiang to a fight.
