• Old Li told Ye Lin about the grand gathering and auction planned in Central City, and Ye Lin decided to wait half a month and cultivate.
• Ye Lin cultivated in seclusion for half a month, then set out with Old Li toward Central City.
• Old Li explained that the four great families organized the gathering and each had an Earth Immortal ancestor, while the eight great powers still ruled Yao Luo Star.

Ye Lin entered Central City with Old Li, who contacted his Mountain Lord about the approaching deadline. There, Elder Wang welcomed Ye Lin warmly after learning he was a true disciple of the Firmament Sacred Land.

Ye Lin learned that the Mountain Lord’s faction had encountered an unresolved problem and decided to attend the auction before giving them two more days to deal with it. Meanwhile, Lin Mo and the other leaders discovered that all eight Sealed Lands were about to break open, forcing them to seek help from Firmament Sacred Land and hunt for whoever tampered with the seals.

• Elder Li told Ye Lin that the Mountain Lord needed another half month to resolve an unexpected problem, but Ye Lin allowed only two more days after the auction.
• Lin Mo and five late-stage Earth Immortals struggled to contain a tampered seal and realized their efforts could hold it for only three days.
• Lin Mo explained that the other seven Sealed Lands would shatter at the same time, releasing a weakened demon that had once reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
• Lin Mo ordered two people to guard the site while the others mobilized Formless Mountain to find and kill whoever had tampered with the seal.
• Lin Mo headed toward the central region to notify Firmament Sacred Land, while the other seven factions faced the same crisis.

Ye Lin learned about Central City’s grand gathering and added one hundred thousand Fortune Tokens to the distribution, each carrying a stroke of fortune from him. He then met Lin Mo, who warned that a tampered seal would fail in three days and release the True Demon.

• Wang Dang explained the gathering’s four parts: accepting disciples, exchanging calling cards, distributing Fortune Tokens, and holding an auction.
• Ye Lin added one hundred thousand Fortune Tokens in his name and promised that each holder could receive a stroke of fortune from him.
• Ye Lin considered finding Liu Zhen before he left Yao Luo Star, since killing him afterward could bring the Great Dao’s attention.
• Ye Lin told Wang Dang he would attend the gathering the next day, then vanished; Elder Li also took his leave.
• Ye Lin found Lin Mo in disarray, and Lin Mo said someone had tampered with the seal, which would break in three days and free the True Demon.

Lin Mo and Ye Lin realized a true demon sealed beneath Yao Luo Star could soon escape and devastate the world, possibly as part of a scheme against the Firmament Sacred Land. Ye Lin ordered Lin Mo to hunt down the hidden conspirators while he dealt with the seal, leaving Lin Mo to carry out the investigation.

• Ye Lin warned Lin Mo that the seal's destruction could unleash a peak Celestial Immortal true demon and turn Yao Luo Star into a living hell.
• Lin Mo concluded that a Celestial Immortal had weakened the True Immortal seal, since a True Immortal's interference would have been noticed by the Firmament Sacred Land.
• Ye Lin suspected someone was plotting against the Firmament Sacred Land, and Lin Mo avoided commenting on the dangerous implication.
• Ye Lin ordered Lin Mo to uncover the hidden enemies across Yao Luo Star and told him to leave the seal alone for now.
• Lin Mo promised to handle the investigation, and Ye Lin sat cross-legged in the void while others were told to look after him.

After Lin Mo left, Ye Lin encountered his master Zhuge Yun, who explained that Yao Luo Star’s sealed threat had been known for ten thousand years. Zhuge Yun revealed he had come to deal with the True Demon himself, while Ye Lin realized how formidable his master was.

• Lin Mo departed after warning Old Li, who feared Yao Luo Star would soon be plunged into upheaval.
• Ye Lin went for a stroll and found Zhuge Yun disguised as a hunchbacked old farmer, then asked why his master had come in person.
• Zhuge Yun said the problem had been discovered ten thousand years earlier, but the mission had gone unclaimed because it was too troublesome.
• Ye Lin questioned why the seal had only recently broken, and Zhuge Yun explained that a True Immortal’s methods could not be quickly undone even by a Celestial Immortal.
• Zhuge Yun said he would suppress the peak Celestial Immortal True Demon again and complained that the trip had added to his burdens.
• Ye Lin reflected on Zhuge Yun’s confidence and recalled that his master was supposedly only half a step from the True Immortal realm.

• Ye Lin asked Zhuge Yun whether he had foreseen his arrival, and Zhuge Yun said others had plotted against him through the mission.
• Zhuge Yun told Ye Lin to handle his own affairs, promised to suppress the little devil in three days, and ordered him to retrieve something from the emerging Demon-Sealing Land.
• Zhuge Yun declared that Yao Luo Star needed to be cleaned up, leaving Old Li worried about the fate of its factions and Formless Mountain.
• Ye Lin asked Old Li about the Demon-Sealing Land, but Old Li said only the three great sacred lands might know of it.

• Ye Lin and Lian Caiyi reached the tower’s summit and looked out over Central City, where prodigies had gathered to seek fame.

• Wang Dang declared that anyone who won one match could join one of the Four Great Families, exciting the gathered geniuses.

At the grand gathering, Ye Lin had cultivators secretly hunt people carrying black packs while watching for a fortunate newcomer he intended to target. His conversation with Lian Caiyi was interrupted by a drunken Ye Lin, who questioned how he had time to relax as the Holy Lord’s personal disciple.

• Wang Dang opened five Arenas and announced that anyone who defended one through ten matches undefeated would receive a Heaven Grade, top-quality pill.

• Ye Lin asked Liu Bai about the origin of the Demon-Sealing Land, and Liu Bai referred him to Elder Wang.
• Elder Wang explained that True Immortals had opened the Demon-Sealing Land a hundred million years ago to imprison demons, and that it held dangerous yin energy and soul-related treasures.
• Elder Wang said cultivators above the Celestial Immortal realm could not enter without risking the seals, while Mahayana cultivators struggled to withstand the yin energy.
• Elder Wang began telling Ye Lin and Liu Bai that, one hundred thousand years earlier, Zhuge Yun had reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and stood one step from becoming a True Immortal.
• Elder Wang recalled that Zhuge Yun and the former Sacred Lord had been called the Firmament Sacred Land’s Twin Heroes, and that the former Sacred Lord expected them to help the land dominate the Purple Cloud Star System.

Elder Wang told Ye Lin how Elder Zhuge’s wife died saving him and why he had spent a hundred thousand years searching for a flower of the other shore to revive her. He explained that Zhuge was now awaiting the Demon-Sealing Land’s opening, while Ye Lin resolved to avoid women.

• Elder Wang recounted how Elder Zhuge met and married a woman who later reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
• Elder Wang said the couple offended a True Immortal from the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan, and Zhuge’s wife died blocking a fatal attack meant for him.
• The old Sacred Lord preserved a breath of life in Zhuge’s wife, but she needed a Soul-Drawn Pill made with a flower of the other shore to awaken.
• Elder Wang explained that Zhuge had searched for the flower for a hundred thousand years and that Firmament Sacred Land disciples were tasked with looking for it in the Demon-Sealing Land.
• Ye Lin decided he would avoid women, and Elder Wang said Zhuge was powerful enough to enter the True Immortal Realm whenever he wished.

Ye Lin watched Liu Zhen dominate the arena and dismissed Liu Bai’s warning about the consequences of attacking someone favored by fate. As the marriage selection began, Liu Bai approached Lian Caiyi with a piece of candy, but she saw through his attempt to charm her.

• Ye Lin admired Liu Zhen’s strength and deepened his resolve to take whatever he wanted, even if it meant killing him.

• Elder Wang ended the first stage and announced the start of the marriage selection.
• Liu Bai approached Lian Caiyi, offered her candy, and was told she was too old to be fooled by it.

Liu Bai recognized Lian Caiyi while Lin Mo discovered the True Demon’s growing influence across Yao Luo Star. A mysterious Celestial Immortal seized Lin Mo, but Zhuge Yun appeared and freed him, leaving the two powerful immortals to confront each other.

• Liu Bai laughed at Lian Caiyi’s scrutiny, put away his candy, and stood up after guessing her identity.
• Lin Mo surveyed three peak Earth Immortal Demonic Corpses and realized the True Demon had secretly corrupted powerful cultivators across Yao Luo Star.

• Zhuge Yun appeared and challenged the old man, allowing Lin Mo to regain control and flee.
• Zhuge Sheng teased Zhuge Yun about leaving Firmament Sacred Land to face him.

• Zhuge Sheng headed for the Sealed Land after Zhuge Yun left.
• Wang Dang opened the auction and presented a seven-pattern Heaven Grade Spirit-Washing Pill as the first item.
• Bidders drove the Spirit-Washing Pill’s price past ten thousand low-grade immortal stones.

At the Four Great Families’ auction, Liu Zhen traded Longevity Grass for a pill and then bid on a Fire Dao Fruit that could help cultivators comprehend the Fire Dao. The fruit’s price reached just five thousand low-grade immortal stones, with Liu Zhen leading the bidding.
