Ye Lin fought the Xuanhuang Great World’s Heavenly Dao, using his sword and fists to break its lightning as he tried to lift the formation diagram.

Ye Lin’s actions drove Heavenly Dao to drain the Xuanhuang Great World’s spiritual energy and attack Central Continent, forcing cultivators and sea beasts to unite against it. As powerful figures gathered and activated their formations, the battle for the world’s survival began.

Ye Lin led the Xuanhuang Great World's powerful figures in turning against the intelligent Heavenly Dao, which prepared a deadly lightning strike. Before it could fall, two forces clashed above the Ninth Heaven, and the Heavenly Dao's power was shattered, leaving the cultivators below confused.

• The races of the Xuanhuang Great World declared that the Heavenly Dao had to die because it had developed intelligence and could treat them as its possessions.

After the Heavenly Dao was erased, Ye Lin and the living beings of the Xuanhuang Great World received immense merit, and the shackles preventing them from becoming immortals began to disappear. Ye Lin decided to use his share to improve his five Spirit Roots rather than rush his cultivation, while major powers gathered resources to help their ancestors ascend.

• Ye Lin realized his merit could raise him to the late Earth Immortal stage, but chose to use it to bring all five of his Spirit Roots to the highest level.
• The shackles preventing the living beings from becoming immortals rapidly broke apart, giving top-tier powerhouses hope of ascending.
• Major powers opened their treasure vaults and sent resources to their ancestors, while one living being wondered why even he felt able to become an immortal.

With the restriction on becoming immortal gone, Mahayana cultivators and Loose Immortals began gathering resources to pursue ascension, threatening to drain the Xuanhuang Great World. Ye Lin recalled his avatars and wondered how the world's will would respond to the weakening Devourer before the world was ruined.

• A peak Mahayana cultivator felt uneasy about becoming obsessed with immortality.

• Ye Lin drew his two avatars back into his body so they could refine the merit they had gained.
• Ye Lin considered how the Devourer's weakening suppression and the world's battered state had prevented the Xuanhuang Great World from producing immortals.

The Xuanhuang Great World’s strongest cultivators began ascending together, risking the world’s remaining foundation in the Immortal Ascension Tribulations.

• The Immortal Ascension Tribulations began as powerful cultivators across the Xuanhuang Great World attempted to enter the immortal realm.
• The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons hid from the ascenders, afraid to challenge their overwhelming power.
• Ye Lin watched the ascension from underground while cracking sunflower seeds and considered his preparations only half complete.
• Ye Lin worried that the ascended experts would leave and leave him to deal with the Heavenly Demon Great World.
• Ye Lin decided to wait and see what the Xuanhuang Great World’s will would do about the Devourer and the unreliable Heavenly Dao.

• Ye Lin guarded his small patch of ground while lightning killed cultivators and others fought to withstand their tribulations.
• Hundreds of peak Mahayana cultivators perished within minutes, and Ye Lin reflected on how few people reached the Immortal Realm.
• A Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal died, leaving his faction's representatives grieving over the loss of their ancestor and protector.
• An old man in white robes entered the Immortal Realm and celebrated as Immortal Qi renewed his body.

After becoming a Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal, the old man discussed his early Earth Immortal realm with Ye Lin and explained that his cultivation would rise as his comprehension improved.

• Qin Wudao and Ye Lin entered the void to fight while the old man watched them go.
• Qin Wudao declared that he would defeat Ye Lin and offered to attack first.
• Qin Wudao launched a full-strength spear strike infused with immortal energy and killing intent.
• Ye Lin suppressed Qin Wudao and his Golden Spear with one palm, leaving Qin Wudao kneeling with his robes torn.

Ye Lin defeated Qin Wudao with a single palm and warned him against overconfidence, then sensed powerful experts gathering at the border between the Heavenly Demon Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World. With ten people having successfully become Immortals, Ye Lin judged that the Heavenly Demons had waited too long to act.

• Qin Wudao questioned how Ye Lin had defeated him, and Ye Lin said Qin was still far from being his equal.

After three days of tribulations, the Xuanhuang Great World had 108 new Immortal Realm experts, while countless factions lost their strongest cultivators.

• Ye Lin questioned ten black-robed men at the passage, but they surrounded him, so he killed them and absorbed their essence blood and memories.
• Ye Lin learned that the men served the Xuanyuan Imperial Dynasty and had come to investigate changes in the Xuanhuang Great World.

After the tribulations ended, the world's will offered merit for killing Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, enticing the newly ascended Immortal Realm experts. A mysterious voice summoned them to Penglai Island, and Ye Lin recognized it as belonging to a senior he had met before and went to meet him.

• A transcendent faction faced destruction after all its foundational experts died in their tribulations, while the energy released by the fallen experts gave the Xuanhuang Great World some respite.
• The world's will sent peak experts a message promising merit for killing Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, and the newly ascended Immortal Realm experts welcomed the reward.

• Ye Lin recognized the voice as belonging to the mysterious expert from Penglai Immortal Island and crushed his jade token to contact him.
• A spatial passage opened before Ye Lin, and he stepped through toward Penglai Immortal Island.

After three peaceful years, Penglai Immortal Island emerged and drew nearly all the Immortal Realm experts in the Xuanhuang Great World. Ye Lin, having spent all his merit to raise only his Metal Spirit Root to supreme grade, headed to the island as the experts entered its Heavenly Palace to seek the mysterious Senior.

• For three years, Ye Lin remained motionless as no Outer Realm Heavenly Demons appeared in the Central Continent.

• Qin Wudao searched the crowd for Ye Lin but did not find him.

Heavenfall gathered 108 Immortal Realm experts to discuss striking back at the Heavenly Demon Great World. Though they doubted they could match its strength, Heavenfall promised to cover their backs as his long-laid plan moved forward.

• Heavenfall convened 108 Immortal Realm experts in the palace and explained that the Heavenly Demon Great World had invaded Xuanhuang for a million years.

Ye Lin joined Heavenfall in the highest seat as Heavenfall ordered the Xuanhuang Great World's immortal experts to prepare to clear out the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in half a year. After Heavenfall revealed a killing intent that made them fear for their lives, no one dared object, and the gathering ended with the experts departing to make arrangements.

• Ye Lin arrived and sat beside Heavenfall, sharing the highest seat with him.
• Heavenfall set the campaign against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons for half a year later and warned the gathered figures not to refuse or shirk their duties.
• Heavenfall's killing intent made the immortal experts realize he was a major realm above them.
• Heavenfall promised to let the experts travel the Star River freely after they completed their assigned tasks.
• No one objected, and the immortal experts bowed to Heavenfall before leaving to prepare.

After Ye Lin defeated Qin Wudao, Heavenfall revealed the ancient origins of One Breath Becomes Three Purities and explained that Ye Lin possessed only one of its three fragmented scrolls. The other two were believed to be in the Heavenly Demon Great World and the Star River, leading Heavenfall to say that their goals were the same.

• Qin Wudao glared at Ye Lin before leaving, and Ye Lin followed the crowd out after everyone else had gone.
• Heavenfall stopped Ye Lin, shut the hall doors, and asked whether he cultivated One Breath Becomes Three Purities.
• Ye Lin admitted that he cultivated the technique, and Heavenfall recounted how the Grand Supreme True Person split it into three fragments before falling to four true immortals.
• Ye Lin learned that his scroll was only one fragment and asked where the other two could be found.
• Heavenfall said one fragment was likely in the Heavenly Demon Great World and the other had fallen into the Star River, then told Ye Lin their goals were the same.

Ye Lin learned that even the three volumes of One Breath Becomes Three Purities were incomplete, while Heavenfall left him to decide whether to visit the Heavenly Demon Great World. Six months later, Xuanhuang Great World launched its forces through the fortified passage toward Central Continent’s enemy world, with three Immortal Realm experts leading the way.

• Heavenfall told Ye Lin that the true One Breath Becomes Three Purities belonged to a peerless expert in the Star River and remained incomplete even after its three volumes were gathered.

Three Immortal Realm experts entered the Heavenly Demon Great World with an invading army, and Cang Yun killed three Saint Realm scouts who mistook them for an easy target. The arrival of a far more powerful aura left Cang Yun facing an unknown threat.

• Devil Abyss sealed the space around Cang Yun and blocked his spear strike with his bare palm.
• Devil Abyss struck Cang Yun and sent him crashing through dozens of mountain ranges.
