• Liu Mu explained that cultivators in the Cultivator Prison came from the Luo River World's 360 domains and that newcomers arrived roughly every thousand years.
• Liu Mu told Qin Huaian that no one could leave the prison or sense heavenly tribulation there, so even Tribulation Transcendence cultivators would eventually die when their lifespans ran out.

After arriving in Heaven Ridge City, Qin Huaian learned that the Kun Yuan World had its own currency and a Dao Repository Stele that aided comprehension of earth-attributed laws. He began learning about the city and its customs at the Myriad Treasures Commerce Association.

Qin Huaian learned about the Kun Yuan World, its cities, scarce resources, and the value of Kun Yuan Stones. After comparing his wealth with the poor stores of the cultivators he had killed, he decided to visit the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele to learn what the stones were for, but first took out a flame he had obtained from one of the Three Absolute Immortals.

• Qin Huaian gave a Spirit Transformation cultivator the Supreme Purity Ascension Scripture and rented a small courtyard in Heaven Ridge City.
• Qin Huaian read a jade slip and learned how cultivators entered the Kun Yuan World, why many residents saw it as a cage, and how Kun Yuan Stones aided comprehension at the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele.

• Qin Huaian took out the flame he had obtained from inside the second of the Three Absolute Immortals.

• Tang Li, the Thick Earth City Lord's third young master, entered the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele and sparked discussion among the gathered cultivators.
• Qin Huaian asked a burly cultivator what it meant to receive the stele's acknowledgment, and the man explained that profound earth-element comprehension could draw a cultivator inside.
• The burly cultivator said acknowledged cultivators became far stronger, with some able to defeat dozens of opponents at the same late Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
• Qin Huaian learned that acknowledgment was exceedingly rare, usually went to cultivators under a thousand years old, and offered unknown benefits.
• The crowd gathered around the Kun Yuan Stone seller, who continued trading stones for spirit stones as Tang Li's entry boosted interest.

Qin Huaian released Gu Ran outside the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele’s range and sent him to gather artifact-refining materials, then learned that cultivators had to pay factions to enter the region. The chapter left Qin Huaian heading back to the stele while two cultivators discovered the powerful cultivation technique he had given them.

• Qin Huaian flew away from the basin and released Gu Ran, who declined to seek insight from the stele and offered to explore the Kun Yuan Mountains.
• Qin Huaian gave Gu Ran a Storage Ring containing six to seven million high-grade spirit stones and told him to buy eighth- and ninth-rank artifact-refining materials and meet him in three years.
• Qin Huaian returned to the basin, where Third Young Master Tang’s success had drawn more cultivators to the stele.
• Qin Huaian learned from two cultivators that the stele’s region was divided among factions, that each entry cost one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and that Kun Yuan Stones limited how long cultivators could stay.
• Qin Huaian flew toward the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele, and the two cultivators found that he had left them a powerful foundational cultivation technique.

Qin Huaian entered the area around the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele and tested how the Kun Yuan Stone’s power and consumption changed as he moved closer. After cultivating near the stele until his stone ran out, he endured the growing repulsion and produced another Kun Yuan Stone just before being expelled.

• Five days later, Qin Huaian’s Kun Yuan Stone became ordinary, and a force of repulsion began pushing him out.
• As the repulsion grew too strong to withstand, Qin Huaian took out another Kun Yuan Stone.

After the Seed Space finished upgrading, Qin Huaian discovered it still lacked the energy needed to sustain a living world and focused on escaping the Cultivator Prison. He advanced to the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm through his earth-element law, consolidated his cultivation, and returned to the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele to continue cultivating.

• Qin Huaian inspected the upgraded Seed Space, found its vast continent lacked vitality, and wondered whether it needed the same energy as the Supreme Purity Domain.
• Qin Huaian used one Mirror Body to deduce ninth-rank formations and had his other Mirror Bodies cultivate while he comprehended the earth-element law.
• After using his ninetieth Kun Yuan Stone, Qin Huaian advanced his earth-element law to the second realm and broke through to the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
• Qin Huaian left the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele, escaped the cultivators who followed him, and spent three days consolidating his cultivation in the Kun Yuan Mountains.
• Qin Huaian returned to the stele, determined to continue cultivating there despite having only ten Kun Yuan Stones left and more than a year until his appointment with Gu Ran.

Qin Huaian returned to the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele and learned that cultivators from the Violet Thorn Domain had stirred speculation about a possible change in the Kun Yuan World. When Tao Lin accused him of killing an elder and attacked, Qin Huaian badly wounded him, but Sky Isle Commerce Association cultivators shielded Tao Lin’s fleeing Primordial Spirit.

• Sikong Ming recognized Qin Huaian as a newly arrived Violet Thorn Domain cultivator and invited him to join the Myriad Treasures Commerce Association as a steward.
• Tao Lin of the Sky Isle Commerce Association accused Qin Huaian of killing Elder Tang and demanded that he come with him.

• Qin Huaian’s black-and-white spiritual power shredded Tao Lin’s body, but a protective treasure saved Tao Lin’s Primordial Spirit, which Sky Isle Commerce Association cultivators shielded as reinforcements arrived.

Qin Huaian killed Tao Lin after the Sky Isle Commerce Association's president attacked him, then lured his pursuers into a deadly counterattack in the Kun Yuan Mountains. He left the area after destroying fourteen of the sixteen pursuing cultivators and collecting their belongings.

• Sikong Ming protected Qin Huaian from Tao Lin's attendants, and Qin Huaian killed Tao Lin's Primordial Spirit before fleeing the basin.
• More than a dozen Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators pursued Qin Huaian into the Kun Yuan Mountains, where he slowed down to draw them closer.

• One cultivator escaped with Blood Escape and another fled as a Primordial Spirit, while Qin Huaian killed the remaining pursuers, leaving fourteen dead.
• Qin Huaian collected the dead cultivators' Storage Rings and magical treasures, burned everything clean, and flew deeper into the Kun Yuan Mountains.

After killing Tao Lin and the cultivators who pursued him, Qin Huaian examined their loot and discovered a mysterious Bronze Fragment that entered his dantian beside the Great Square Cauldron. He cultivated in hiding for a month, then set out to return to the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele, which he believed might be the key to leaving this world.

• Qin Huaian hid in a cave, broke the restrictions on the Storage Rings of his pursuers, and collected their Kun Yuan Stones and Spirit Stones.

• Qin Huaian cultivated in the cave for a month, then left to return to the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele.

Qin Huaian cultivated at the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele until he advanced to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and was recognized by the stele. Meanwhile, Changfeng emerged from an ancient ruin with the Purple Sky Sacred Land group and revealed that he had broken through beyond the Golden Immortal stage.

After Mingze delivered Nirvana Spirit Liquid for Lingyue, Changfeng entered a defensive formation to attempt to revive her, while Qin Huaian explored a vast palace.
