After surviving its assaults, he sent his past and future selves to monitor Qing City and Quicksand City while he traveled to Yang Province City to perform the Longevity Ritual.

He traveled to Heavenly Kun Mountain and began constructing the formation beneath the Pu River’s great waterfall.

• Li Qing used the Record Book to learn that the immortal substance contained an unremovable imprint unless cleansed by the power of the world.

• Li Qing swallowed the pale golden Undying Substance, whose fragrance transformed his body and drew a dark ocean-like anomaly around him.
• When a figure emerged from the black ocean and swept toward him, Li Qing spat out a streak of starlight.

Li Qing fought off strange creatures in the dark ocean while the Undying Substance fused into his body. A massive tentacled being attacked him with black radiance, leaving him badly disfigured as he and the land beneath him grew increasingly illusory.

• Li Qing used the Sword Pellet’s formation and a punch to repel the first black loach-like creature, then formed a barrier against a swarm of attackers.
• The darkness’s evil power tried to erode Li Qing and seize the Undying Substance, but his Heavens Civilization Torrent and Invincible Human Dao Dharma Body held it back as the substance finished fusing with him.
• A tentacled, spherical being emerged from the darkness and struck Li Qing with enormous palms, but he used his body to redirect their force and knock them away.

After surviving a devastating attack through Life and Death Reversal Path Continuation, Li Qing decided to gather the materials needed for a Tribulation-Avoiding Grotto-Heaven. He found that Star River Water might be reachable at Heavenly Star Peak, where Jade Spirit Daoist guarded it while preparing for his own tribulation.

• Li Qing regenerated his body and concluded that his lifespan and cultivation gave him time to pursue a Tribulation-Avoiding Grotto-Heaven.

• Li Qing learned that Jade Spirit Daoist was gathering Water of Ten Thousand Stars to forge a Dao Artifact and faced an Anomaly that planned to attack him during his Longevity Tribulation.

He took the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe and planned to use it to steal Star River Water from Jade Spirit Daoist of Heavenly Star Peak.

• Li Qing opened an upright coffin but could not perceive the zombie inside, which killed him before he reappeared outside the tomb.
• Li Qing's analysis revealed that the corpse had transformed into a zombie and wore the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe, hiding it from his perception.
• Li Qing returned to the tomb with the Myriad Spell Divine Banner and sent the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger into the coffin, severing the zombie's head.
• Li Qing took the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe and learned that it concealed its wearer from observation but erased their heavenly fate with each use.
• Li Qing realized the robe would not harm him because he was already without destiny, and planned to use it to lure Jade Spirit Daoist of Heavenly Star Peak and steal the Star River Water.

Li Qing used his Wish Spell to guide Qingmingzi to a map hidden at Daoist Gongyang’s former residence, then stole it as Qingmingzi found it. Qingmingzi rushed to Heavenly Star Peak and warned Jade Spirit Daoist that the tomb’s location had been exposed.

• Li Qing reconstructed Daoist Gongyang’s history and planned to make Jade Spirit Daoist learn about the tomb through Qingmingzi.
• Li Qing’s Wish Spell led Qingmingzi to search the ruins of Daoist Gongyang’s former residence in Square City.

Jade Spirit Daoist learned that an Anomaly had stolen Daoist Gongyang’s map and rushed to Bright Mirror Lake, while Li Qing used the distraction to steal the River of Stars Water from Heavenly Star Peak. Jade Spirit Daoist found the tomb empty of the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe and realized he had been deceived.

• Qingmingzi told Jade Spirit Daoist that an Anomaly had stolen the beast-hide map from Daoist Gongyang’s former residence, and Jade Spirit Daoist forcibly extracted the map image from Qingmingzi’s memory.

• Jade Spirit Daoist tracked clues to Daoist Gongyang’s tomb beneath Bright Mirror Lake and broke into the chamber containing the stone coffin.
• Jade Spirit Daoist opened the coffin and found a head-seamed corpse without the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe, then cried out in fury.

After discovering that the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe and Star River Water were gone, Jade Spirit Daoist flew into a murderous rage while Li Qing prepared to gather Heaven's Blood in the Western Desert. Li Qing began exploring Death Canyon, where he noticed Corpse Spirit Venerable entering the dangerous ravine.

• Jade Spirit Daoist found the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe missing from Bright Mirror Lake and raced back to Heavenly Star Peak, where the pool was empty.
• Jade Spirit Daoist lost control, killed Qingmingzi with his hair, and vowed to find the person who had outmaneuvered him.
• Li Qing received the Star River Water and sent his Divine Body toward the Western Desert to collect Heaven's Blood.
• Li Qing arrived at Death Canyon, concealed himself with the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe and Unmemorable Hat, and sent Shadow Paper Dolls down to map its dangerous depths.
• Corpse Spirit Venerable entered Death Canyon, and Li Qing recognized the Corpse Karma Temple master without being discovered.

Li Qing cautiously explored the canyon’s chaotic spacetime in search of Heaven’s Blood, encountering hostile anomalies and bizarre fissures. He followed the densest fissures to a vast, wound-like rift filled with rotting flesh and scarlet blood, where he sensed something was terribly wrong.

• Li Qing used the Shadow Paper Dolls’ survey and the Jade Tablet to estimate where Heaven’s Blood lay, then entered the canyon’s eastern region.
• Li Qing destroyed a formless Anomaly that intruded into his Doomsday Mist and collected its Curse-Grade Essence Stone.

• Li Qing reached the canyon floor, found the black sand dangerously cold, and noticed that spacetime fissures grew denser as he advanced.
• Li Qing crossed into a crimson region where flesh-like vessels, eyes, mouths, and limbs grew from the ground.
• Li Qing found a huge rift resembling a dry, hardened wound filled with putrid flesh and strands of scarlet blood, and sensed it was abnormal.

Li Qing discovered that the wound in Death Canyon was part of the slain Heaven’s corpse and cautiously entered it to retrieve Heaven’s Blood. After securing the blood, he traveled across the Nine Provinces to Chaotic Stone Mountain in the East Wasteland to seek the Earth’s Soul.

• Li Qing read the Jade Tablet’s restored records and learned that the wound in Death Canyon came from an ancient war in which an external Heaven slew this world’s Heaven.
• Corpse Spirit Venerable escaped from the wound through its attacking flesh, and Li Qing watched him flee before deciding to prepare carefully.
• Li Qing used the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Robe to enter the wound, where its flesh failed to detect him, but it destroyed a Myriad Shadow Paper Doll that approached the blood.
• Li Qing bound the fist-sized pool of Heaven’s Blood, stored it in his sleeve, and safely withdrew from the wound.
• Li Qing sent the Heaven’s Blood away with a Myriad Shadow Paper Doll and traveled for five days to Chaotic Stone Mountain in the East Wasteland to pursue the Earth’s Soul.
