Qin Huaian accepted a suspicious cultivator's invitation to travel on his Mid-Grade Dao Artifact vessel, hoping to learn about the outside factions in the Secret Realm World.

• Qin Huaian realized the cultivator had been plotting against him from the beginning.
• The cultivator taunted Qin Huaian about surviving the Fifth Elder's pursuit and claimed the Trap-Killing Formation would stop him from escaping.

Qin Huaian learned that Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land had been sending many cultivators into the Secret Realm World since news of the Fire Origin spread, while other sects were delayed by destroyed Teleportation Arrays. After killing a cultivator whose greed flared when the Fire Origin's aura appeared, Qin Huaian hurried toward it, worried that rivals would soon arrive.

• A Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land disciple told Qin Huaian that the secret had become public half a year earlier and that the Sacred Land had sent many cultivators to gather treasures and find one another.
• The disciple explained that other sects had not entered because most Teleportation Arrays near the spatial rift had been destroyed, though Qin Huaian expected them to build new arrays eventually.
• When the Fire Origin's aura filled the Secret Realm World, the disciple's Primordial Spirit showed greed, so Qin Huaian killed him before he could use the flying boat's immortal array.
• Qin Huaian broke the boat's fourth-order immortal array, stored the boat and the disciple's Storage Ring in the Seed Space, and flew toward the Fire Origin with his Golden Roc Wings.
• Qin Huaian feared cultivators from other major sects would soon enter the Secret Realm World and make obtaining the Fire Origin more difficult.

Duan Linchuan negotiated with the Luo River World's major factions over access to the secret realm and proposed restricting entry to the Seven Great Powers and their allies. Su Yu arrived to challenge the exclusion of cultivators from the Chaotic Sea Region, introducing himself as the Alliance Master of the Chaotic Immortal Alliance.

• Duan Linchuan told the gathered factions that they could enter the secret realm when its spatial rift appeared in two days, while Xue Changge accused the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land of destroying teleportation arrays.
• Nangong Liuying asked about the entrance, and Duan Linchuan explained that the rift opened periodically and that the realm held palace complexes and a hard-to-find Fire Origin.
• Duan Linchuan proposed allowing only members of the Seven Great Powers and their affiliated sects to enter, and Wei Chuzheng and Lingxiao Ke supported the rule.
• Su Yu arrived and objected that the secret realm belonged to the Chaotic Sea Region, asking whether its cultivators would be excluded.
• Wei Chuzheng dismissed Su Yu's standing, and Su Yu identified himself as Star Pavilion's Pavilion Master and Alliance Master of the Chaotic Immortal Alliance.

Su Yu challenged Wei Chuzheng to prove his strength after arguing that cultivators of the Chaotic Sea Region had a right to enter the newly appeared Secret Realm World. After their clashes ended in a draw even with Wei Chuzheng’s damaged Acquired Spirit Treasure, Duan Linchuan supported Su Yu’s claim and warned Wei Chuzheng not to push him further.

• Su Yu asserted that cultivators of the Chaotic Sea Region deserved access to the Secret Realm World and challenged Wei Chuzheng’s claim that he lacked the ability to earn it.
• Wei Chuzheng attacked Su Yu with a top-grade Dao Artifact, but Su Yu countered with the Purple Lightning Green Ruler and forced him back.
• Wei Chuzheng drew the Blazing Sun True Flame Blade, his sect’s damaged Acquired Spirit Treasure, and attacked Su Yu again.

• Duan Linchuan declared that the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land supported the Chaotic Sea Region cultivators’ right to enter and privately warned Wei Chuzheng that Su Yu’s strength might rival Lingxiao Ke’s.

After Su Yu fought Wei Chuzheng to a draw, the seven great powers accepted the Chaotic Immortal Alliance’s right to enter the newly appeared secret realm and agreed to limit each faction to five hundred entrants per opening. Su Yu returned to gather disciples, while Duan Linchuan and his allies discussed Su Yu’s strength and the difficulty of breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal.

• Lingxiao Ke and the other sect leaders agreed that the Chaotic Immortal Alliance could enter the secret realm.
• Duan Linchuan proposed allowing each of the eight factions to send up to five hundred people through the spatial rift each time it opened, and the leaders accepted.

• Wei Chuzheng asked whether Su Yu had reached the sixth stage of Dao Fusion, and Duan Linchuan compared him with other exceptional talents, including Qin Huaian.
• Duan Linchuan explained that Qin Huaian had entered the secret realm while fleeing Zhao Gang’s pursuit, but declined Wei Chuzheng’s offer to help search for him.

• Duan Linchuan reported that the Spatial Stones were nearly exhausted and that deciphering the spatial grand formation in the Emerald Bamboo Domain might stop without success.
• Duan Linchuan suggested that Wei Chuzheng and Qin Tianzong focus on cracking palace defenses because the larger palaces might hold extraordinary gains.

Duan Linchuan reviewed the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land’s growing map of the Secret Realm World and planned to enter it, while Qin Huaian reached the Central Fire Sea and encountered an Immortal Venerable who discovered his identity. Qin Huaian attacked from behind, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Duan Linchuan examined the map, discussed the fire seas and the possible formation around them with Elder Zhou, and ordered the teleportation formations and map details kept secret.
• Qin Huaian flew toward a vast sea of fire, suspecting that the Fire Origin lay within it.
• An Immortal Venerable mid-stage cultivator appeared nearby, questioned Qin Huaian, and attacked after becoming suspicious of his answers.
• Qin Huaian blocked the cultivator’s attacks and evaded him with his Golden Roc Wings; the man recognized him as Qin Huaian.
• Qin Huaian appeared behind the cultivator and unleashed a destructive sword radiance.

Qin Huaian’s Grand Void Birth and Extinction struck down a mid-stage Immortal Venerable, while a vast Taiji Yin-Yang Fish and palace complex appeared above the Central Fire Sea. Zhao Gang led Leng Xuanye toward the apparent opportunity, but the fire sea suddenly erupted beneath them.

• Qin Huaian used Grand Void Birth and Extinction to annihilate more than half of a mid-stage Immortal Venerable’s body, then spent most of his Immortal Essence Power.
• Zhao Gang, Leng Xuanye, and Elder Wu saw a million-li-wide Taiji Yin-Yang Fish appear above the Central Fire Sea, with an immense and unusually intact palace complex atop it.
• Leng Xuanye sensed powerful yin-yang laws and suggested that his affinity for those laws might have revealed the phenomenon; Elder Wu agreed that he may have triggered it.
• Zhao Gang led Leng Xuanye and the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land cultivators toward the palaces to investigate and seek an opportunity.
• The Central Fire Sea boiled and sent flames millions of li into the sky, forcing Zhao Gang and the others to raise shields against the sudden heat.

Zhao Gang and his companions flew toward the palaces above the central sea of fire, while Qin Huaian sensed that the enormous Taiji Yin-Yang Fish could help him cultivate the yin-yang laws. After moving away from a recent battle, Qin Huaian searched the belongings of a slain Immortal Venerable and found a map of the secret realm.

• Zhao Gang inferred that nine seas of fire formed a formation suppressing the secret realm and led his companions toward the palaces.
• Zhao Gang put the group aboard his Flying Boat and used Elder Bingxuan’s fifth-tier immortal array disc to shield them from the heat.
• Qin Huaian sensed that the Taiji Yin-Yang Fish resonated with his Grand Void Dual Polarity Sword Canon and made the yin-yang laws unusually active.
• Qin Huaian put away the slain mid-stage Immortal Venerable’s remains and moved away from the battlefield while waiting for the Fire Origin’s aura to reappear.
• Qin Huaian searched the cultivator’s belongings for records of the secret realm and discovered an untitled map of its world.

Qin Huaian studied Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land’s map and concluded that the Central Fire Sea might be part of a vast formation, then flew toward the taiji yin-yang fish and palace above it in search of an opportunity. Meanwhile, Zhao Gang’s group reached the palace’s protective formation, where Leng Xuanye discovered that yin-yang laws could be cultivated far faster, and Elder Wu proposed that he test the formation.

• Qin Huaian studied the map and realized he had crossed only a small part of the immense realm, while the Central Fire Sea might be one of several fires in a world-spanning formation.
• The Central Fire Sea erupted as the taiji yin-yang fish and palace appeared, and Qin Huaian worried that Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land could have experts and teleportation formations nearby.
• Qin Huaian chose to fly toward the taiji yin-yang fish, hoping his Grand Void Dual Polarity Sword Canon would let him gain an opportunity within the palace.
• Zhao Gang and his companions reached the palace’s protective formation, but Zhao Gang’s attack could not make it tremble.
• Leng Xuanye sensed that the yin-yang laws were three or four times easier to comprehend near the taiji yin-yang fish, and Zhao Gang offered him the frost formation so he could cultivate.
• Elder Wu suggested that Leng Xuanye use his pure yin-yang law power to test the protective formation.

Leng Xuanye’s Yin-Yang law attacks made the palace formation react but failed to break it, while Qin Huaian was pursued by Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land experts. Cornered above the palace complex, Qin Huaian launched Yin-Yang Rotation at the protective formation, hoping to use its connection to the Grand Void Dual Polarity Sword Canon.

• Leng Xuanye attacked the palace formation with Yin-Yang law power and a top-grade Dao artifact, but could not breach it.
• Two Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land cultivators recognized Qin Huaian and pursued him as he flew toward the Taiji Yin-Yang fish.
• One pursuer accelerated, forcing Qin Huaian to flee over the palace complex.
• Zhao Gang and Elder Wu spotted Qin Huaian and moved to intercept him.
• Qin Huaian unleashed Yin-Yang Rotation from the Cangwu Sword toward the palace’s protective formation.

Qin Huaian used Yin-Yang Law Swordsmanship to open the protective formation around the palace complex and entered before Zhao Gang could stop him. Zhao Gang concluded the sword technique had resonated with the Taiji Yin-Yang Fish and planned to report the discovery to the Sacred Lord while keeping watch for Qin Huaian’s return.

• Zhao Gang spotted Qin Huaian attacking the palace formation and flew toward him, hoping to seize the secret behind his rapid cultivation.
• Qin Huaian’s Taiji Yin-Yang Fish opened a gap in the formation, and he charged through before Zhao Gang reached it.
• The gap closed, trapping Zhao Gang and the arriving cultivators outside; Leng Xuanye tried swordsmanship but could not make the formation open.
• Zhao Gang reasoned that Qin Huaian’s sword technique had resonated with the Taiji Yin-Yang Fish and told Leng Xuanye to learn it.
• Zhao Gang vowed to have people guard the palaces and took out a sound-transmission formation to report the situation to the Sacred Lord.

Zhao Gang reported Qin Huaian's entry into the palace complex above the Central Fire Sea, and Duan Linchuan deduced that the formation might recognize either a specific sword art or profound mastery of the Yin-Yang Laws. He urged the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land to seek a way into the complex and revealed that Qin Huaian had been transported from a Cultivation World roughly 270 years earlier.

• Zhao Gang told Duan Linchuan how Qin Huaian used a sword technique infused with Yin-Yang Laws to open a gap in the palace complex's protective formation.
• Duan Linchuan reasoned that the formation might admit cultivators with sufficiently profound Yin-Yang Law comprehension or with Qin Huaian's specific sword art.
• Duan Linchuan explained that the palace formations were too powerful to break by force and suggested the secret realm could offer a path to a higher realm.
• Duan Linchuan said Xuan Ye might gain the formation's recognition by comprehending the complete Yin-Yang Laws, though the newly appeared spatial grand formations might help others achieve that.
• Duan Linchuan proposed finding the source of Qin Huaian's sword art and revealed that Qin Huaian had been transported from a Cultivation World to the Violet Thorn Domain around 270 years earlier.

Duan Linchuan deduced that Qin Huaian had spread the Supreme Purity Ascension Scripture and ordered a search for his fellow disciples and the sword technique he used. Meanwhile, Qin Huaian entered an opening in the array and shielded himself with the Great Square Cauldron.

• Duan Linchuan told Zhao Gang and the others that the Supreme Purity Domain had connected 108 Cultivation Worlds and that Qin Huaian had ranked first in its competition.
• Duan Linchuan concluded that Qin Huaian had spread the Supreme Purity Ascension Scripture along his route through the Violet Thorn Domain, the Kun Yuan World, and the Luo River World.
• Duan Linchuan ordered the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land to search for cultivators from the Cultivation Worlds who might know Qin Huaian's sword technique, while keeping Qin Huaian's identity and location secret.
• Zhao Gang gave Leng Xuanye the ice-cold array and urged him to cultivate near the Taiji Yin-Yang Fish to strengthen himself.
• Qin Huaian entered an opening in the array and covered himself with the Great Square Cauldron.

Qin Huaian fell through a seemingly endless passage into a sealed hall inside the Grand Void Palace, where the Yin-Yang Laws were exceptionally active. A voice offered him access to the Limitless Secret Realm and the Yin-Yang Limitless Creation Scripture because he had initially comprehended the third move of the Grand Void Dual Polarity Sword Canon, and he had to decide whether to begin cultivating.

• Qin Huaian plunged uncontrollably down a white passage for more than an hour before slowing and entering a vast, doorless circular hall.
• Qin Huaian sensed that the hall's Yin-Yang Laws were over five times more active than those outside the palace formation.
• A voice told Qin Huaian that the Grand Void Sage had granted cultivators who initially comprehended Grand Void Birth and Extinction a chance to cultivate in the Limitless Secret Realm and study the Yin-Yang Limitless Creation Scripture.
• Qin Huaian recalled how he had comprehended the third move during his Immortal Ascension Great Lightning Tribulation and wondered whether the realm could help him control its immense cost.
• Qin Huaian considered the offer as the voice gave him until an incense stick burned down to choose whether to begin cultivation.

Qin Huaian weighed the risks of using Grand Void Birth and Extinction and the opportunity to cultivate in the Limitless Secret Realm. He chose to begin the three-hundred-year cultivation period, and a golden scroll appeared in the hall.

• Qin Huaian reasoned that deeper understanding of the Yin-Yang Laws might let him control Grand Void Birth and Extinction’s power.
• Qin Huaian concluded that cultivating in the Limitless Secret Realm could strengthen him before he faced the experts outside Grand Void Palace.
• The voice ignored Qin Huaian’s question about the sea of fire and reminded him to confirm his choice before the deadline.
• Qin Huaian chose to cultivate in the Limitless Secret Realm.
• The Taiji Yin-Yang Fish began rotating, and a huge golden scroll appeared in the main hall.

Qin Huaian cultivated the Yin-Yang Limitless Creation Scripture inside the Limitless Secret Realm, where the Yin-Yang laws resonated through the formation. Outside the palace, Duan Linchuan prepared the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land for the secret realm’s coming influx of cultivators and ordered Qin Huaian’s discovery kept secret.

• A golden scroll appeared before Qin Huaian and revealed the Yin-Yang Limitless Creation Scripture, whose principles he began comprehending with the World Tree’s aid.
• Three days later, Zhao Gang showed Duan Linchuan where Qin Huaian had entered the protective formation, which Duan Linchuan could not break.
• Duan Linchuan told Zhao Gang that cultivators from the Blazing Sun Sect, Azure Water Sword Pavilion, other major powers, and the Chaotic Sea Region would soon enter the secret realm.

• Duan Linchuan ordered experts to prepare to search the Central Fire Sea for the Fire Origin and to acquire ice-attributed defensive treasures.
• Duan Linchuan ordered the sect to conceal the Yin-Yang laws’ reaction to the palace formations and Qin Huaian’s entry.

Three years after the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land began exploring the secret realm, the Joyous Union Sect discovered an Azure Nether Withering and Flourishing Tree with two flower buds. Nangong Liuying ordered the tree protected and investigated a secret search for Qin Huaian’s former sectmates.

• Duan Linchuan told Zhao Gang to strengthen the yin-yang cultivators near the palace complex and keep searching for Qin Huaian’s sword art.
• Three years later, a Joyous Union Sect disciple reported that the sect had found an Azure Nether Withering and Flourishing Tree with two flower buds but no fruit.
• Nangong Liuying ordered her disciples to guard the tree and establish a stronghold and teleportation formation nearby.
• A Joyous Union Sect disciple told Nangong Liuying that someone was secretly searching for cultivators who had arrived in the Luo River World alongside Qin Huaian and offering generous rewards.
• Nangong Liuying ordered the search investigated thoroughly.

Qin Huaian used the Yin-Yang Limitless Creation Scripture to advance his understanding of the Yin-Yang Laws and break through to the late Golden Immortal Realm. A hundred years after he entered the Limitless Secret Realm, Leng Xuanye broke through to the Great Perfection of Immortal Venerable, and Zhao Gang explained that incomplete laws prevented cultivators from reaching the legendary Daluo Golden Immortal.

• Qin Huaian reached the peak of the third realm in the Yin-Yang Laws after three years of studying the scripture on the golden scroll.
• Qin Huaian saw a new scripture appear on the scroll and realized it changed to guide cultivators toward the next stage of understanding.
• Qin Huaian broke through to the fourth realm of the Yin-Yang Laws and the late Golden Immortal Realm, while his supply of Seven-colored Mystic Heaven Jade Dew dwindled to several hundred drops.
• After a hundred years, the major factions had explored most of the Limitless Secret Realm, and many cultivators gathered near the Central Fire Sea to cultivate or seek the Fire Origin.
• Leng Xuanye emerged from an ice-attribute formation after breaking through to the Great Perfection of Immortal Venerable, and Zhao Gang told him that the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete.
