• After a day of travel, Ye Yun told Xiaoyao that she missed her dead parents and older brother.

Ye Yun struggled with grief for her family as Xiaoyao urged her to grow stronger and suggested that strength beyond heaven and earth’s rules could revive the dead. They arrived at a mountain basin filled with fragrant white liquid, where powerful figures and their children had gathered, and Xiaoyao promised to let Ye Yun drink her fill.

• Wujing insisted the matter was internal to the Buddhist sect and again asked Xiaoyao to turn back.

Xiaoyao confronted Wujing and the Buddhist sect after seeing them sacrifice countless mortals, quickly defeating their defenders. He arrived at their sacred ground, where the sect’s leaders tried to seal him in, and challenged their claim to holiness.

• Xiaoyao refused Wujing’s demand that he change course and gave him three minutes to leave.

• Taichu sensed crushing pressure from Ye Lin and concluded that Ye Lin had broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm.

Ye Lin left Nameless Mountain to seek rare treasures needed for his plans, after Taichu accepted that he had to make his own way in the world. Wen Ruxue told him that the Yin-Yang Spirit Stone was guarded by the powerful Yin-Yang Divine Sect, while the other three treasures had vanished; Ye Lin departed with his own plans still undisclosed.

• Taichu accepted Ye Lin's decision to leave Nameless Mountain and told him he could return if he encountered danger.

• Ye Lin thanked Wen Ruxue and left, saying he had his own plans.

Ye Lin followed Wen Ruxue’s advice and entered the True Martial Great Emperor’s Tomb to search for a Heavenly Immortal Flower. He obtained the flower, unaware that two Heaven-Overturning Sacred Land figures were waiting outside to report his whereabouts.

• Wen Ruxue told Ye Lin that Heavenly Immortal Flowers grew where True Immortals had fallen and pointed him toward the True Martial Great Emperor’s Tomb.
• Ye Lin used the Identity Token to reveal the tomb and entered, while two concealed Heaven-Overturning Sacred Land figures recognized him and prepared to report back to their sect.

• Ye Lin gently plucked the flower, replaced the coffin lid, and bowed to the True Martial Great Emperor before leaving.
• Ye Lin considered how difficult it would be to obtain the remaining three treasures, especially from the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, which had an Eight-Tribulation Loose Immortal overseeing it.

• Ye Lin sank the great tomb underground with the Jade Talisman, but the Heaven-Overturning Sacred Land’s chains trapped and shocked him.
• Three peak Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Lords accused Ye Lin of killing their people and tried to take him prisoner.

• The three Heavenly Lords pursued Ye Lin, greedily seeking the immortal artifact, while Ye Lin vowed to kill any member of their Sacred Land he encountered.
• Ye Lin sensed the aura of an exceptionally powerful Heavenly Lord beneath the lake below.

• Ye Lin and the three pursuers plunged into the lake, where a giant beast woke and attacked them.

• The three men killed the beast after suffering severe injuries and realized Ye Lin had escaped.
• One pursuer proposed returning to the sect and searching the continent, but another warned that the Dawn Alliance would suppress a major operation.

• Ye Lin apologized to the dead colossal beast, drained its vital essence and blood qi, and went into seclusion to refine its power.
• An elder of the Third Branch berated three peak Heavenly Lords for failing to capture Ye Lin.
• The three revealed that an Immortal Sword had protected Ye Lin and said only the four of them knew about it.
• The elder ordered them to work with Shadow Tower and secretly bring him Ye Lin's Immortal Sword.

Ye Lin emerged from seclusion after absorbing a giant beast’s essence and blood, then checked his panel and found his death at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence was still marked irreversible.

Toutian warned Ye Lin that the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons had opened a passage from Central Continent to Eastern Continent and would invade in a year. He explained that the Xuanhuang Great World’s Heavenly Dao had opened the Golden Age to resist the Heavenly Demon World, but its corruption was allowing the invasion to advance.

• Ye Lin encountered the battered Toutian, who said a major disaster had begun.
• Toutian told Ye Lin that the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in Central Continent had opened a passage to Eastern Continent and would arrive in a year.
• Toutian explained that the descended transcendent forces could not stop the demons because the Heavenly Dao restricted their strongest experts.
• Toutian said that only Mahayana Outer Realm Heavenly Demons could currently enter, while the Heavenly Demon World’s Heavenly Dao was corrupting the Xuanhuang Great World’s Heavenly Dao.

Ye Lin learned from Toutian that the Heavenly Demon Great World was stronger than Xuanhuang, and that its escalating invasions threatened Eastern Continent in a year. He refused to organize resistance, believing the Child of the Plane would appear to save the world.

• Toutian explained that the Heavenly Dao had triggered the Golden Age to strengthen Xuanhuang and that Heavenly Demon invasions were escalating.
• Toutian warned Ye Lin that the Heavenly Demons would invade Eastern Continent in a year, and that the world would be doomed if its Heavenly Dao were corrupted.
• Toutian urged Ye Lin to unite Eastern Continent against the invaders, but Ye Lin dismissed the need to act and asked whether Toutian would visit an ancient secret realm.
• Ye Lin reasoned that a Child of the Plane would emerge during the crisis and save the world, so he saw no reason to get involved.

Ye Lin rejected Toutian’s plea to expose the coming danger, telling him to focus on becoming stronger and that someone else would save the world. Ye Lin then arrived at the ancient secret realm, where the Dawn Alliance and transcendent factions were locked in a heated dispute.

• Toutian urged Ye Lin to reveal the truth about the threat to the world, but Ye Lin refused and told him to grow stronger.
• Toutian realized he had only assumed Ye Lin was the future savior, then stopped feeling responsible for that role.

• Ye Lin arrived at the gate of light and found warships surrounding the ancient secret realm.
• The Dawn Alliance and transcendent factions accused each other of trying to monopolize the secret realm and continued trading insults.

The transcendent forces confronted the Dawn Alliance over access to the Primordial Secret Realm, but their leaders were forbidden from escalating the conflict. They reluctantly paid the Alliance’s steep price for more entry slots.

• The Dawn Alliance blocked the transcendent forces from entering the Primordial Secret Realm and limited them to one hundred slots.
• A young Tribulation Transcendence cultivator tried to negotiate, and the Dawn Alliance demanded eight Heaven Grade Spirit Fruits and eight Heaven Grade pills for each additional slot.

• The prodigies urged their Senior Brother to accept the deal, arguing that the realm’s treasures would outweigh the cost.
