• Ye Lin concluded that the blood's owner had been at least at the fifth level of the Quasi-Saint realm.

• Eleven True Dragon Laws, including the Laws of Strength, the Physical Body, and Time, rampaged through Ye Lin and tore at his Primordial Spirit and laws.

• Eleven laws surged through Ye Lin's body, and crimson-gold lines spread across his skin from eleven sacred acupoints.
• The laws cracked all twelve Holy Meridians, but Ye Lin chose not to repair them and shattered them completely.

• Ye Lin tested his reconstructed forearm bone with a holy-power blade, which snapped after leaving only a faint mark.
• Ye Lin's skin was rebuilt with law particles that dispersed incoming force, and an acquired spiritual treasure blade could barely pierce it.

• Ye Lin's body hair fell out and regrew as thick, silver-white strands connected to his holy-power circulation.
• Ye Lin discovered that he could make the new hairs soft as silk or hard as steel needles.

Ye Lin bought nine pieces of Heaven Mountain Cold Jade and arranged them as Arenas in a nine-grid formation, hoping to attract powerful cultivators and witness their battles. He decided the Arenas still needed an array formation.

• Ye Lin hesitated over building Arenas because they needed materials strong enough to withstand Third Heaven Quasi-Saint Realm battles.
• Ye Lin found Heaven Mountain Cold Jade in the system shop and bought nine pieces for one hundred billion luck points each.
• Ye Lin explained that he wanted to use the Arenas to draw Ninth Heaven Quasi-Saint Realm sword cultivators into a duel he could watch.
• Ye Lin placed the nine pieces of cold jade at the nine-grid formation's nodes, but his cultivation was too low to polish them.
• Ye Lin admired the completed Arenas and realized they were missing an array formation.

Ye Lin built a Dao Platform beyond Dao Sword City's southern cliffs, using a Heaven's Question Stone to create a place where cultivators could discuss the Dao. The stone began glowing after he suspended it over the Abyss, and the story left its next function unrevealed.

• Ye Lin chose the cliffs above the ten-thousand-zhang Abyss as the site for the Dao Platform.

• Ye Lin activated the Sword Heart Clarity Grand Formation on the debate platform, ensuring that speakers had to speak from the heart.
• Ye Lin planted 365 swords north of the city, leaving a different strand of Sword Intent in each and carving a warning on a stone tablet.

• Pure Yangzi arrived at Dao Sword City and asked Ye Lin why he had built a city in Pure Yang Sect territory.
• After recognizing Ye Lin as the Blade Saint’s personal disciple, Pure Yangzi gifted him the mountain and the surrounding land within ten thousand zhang.

Ye Lin showed the Spirit King nine Arenas made of Heaven Mountain Cold Jade and asked him to arrange for protective arrays. The Spirit King agreed to have his array masters build a Grand Dao Array, though he considered the Arenas a waste of valuable treasure.

• The Spirit King touched one of Ye Lin’s Arenas and felt its intense cold, then learned it was Heaven Mountain Cold Jade.
• Ye Lin explained that the Arenas could withstand Ninth Heaven Quasi-Saint Realm experts and asked the Spirit King to lend array masters to protect them.

• Ye Lin replied that their worth depended on the benefits they brought him.
