As the domain’s laws suddenly became active, Wu Binglan perfected her water-attributed laws and emerged to see tribulation clouds gathering over Lingxiao Ke.

• A disciple told Steward Qiu that the sealing formations on the other 359 void passages had vanished, but Lingxiao Ke’s command token glowed red, warning that he could not be disturbed.

After decades trapped in the Secret Realm, Changfeng cultivated to Immortal Venerable Great Perfection and the second stage of the Dao Fusion Realm. He and Zeng You and Lu Beiwang noticed that the island had moved on its own, leaving them facing a new mystery.

• Changfeng met Zeng You and Lu Beiwang on an enormous arm-shaped island after wandering the ocean for decades.

• Changfeng, Zeng You, and Lu Beiwang sensed a disturbance and saw the enormous island move on its own.

• Changfeng, Lu Beiwang, and Zeng You retreated as the island rose and appeared to be a colossal arm lifting from the sea.
• Lu Beiwang and Zeng You wondered how vast the being must have been if the island was its arm.
• A muffled sound struck the group, injuring Lu Beiwang and sending the sea into violent waves.
• Changfeng saw golden chains restraining the arm and concluded that someone had imprisoned the being there.
• Changfeng suspected the sound was the being’s heartbeat as the chained arm continued to struggle.

Changfeng set out across the endless sea toward the source of the periodic booms, hoping to find a way out of the Secret Realm. Meanwhile, cultivators near the Violet Thorn Domain’s Void Passages waited for travelers to identify which passages led to other domains.

• Changfeng told Zeng You and Lu Beiwang he would head toward the booms, then departed alone in his flying boat.
• Changfeng found that the booms came about an hour apart and used his boat’s defensive formation to block their effects as he traveled east.

As the Violet Thorn Domain’s spiritual energy continued to rise, Commander Wang arrived from the Chaotic Sea Region and marked the route between them. Meanwhile, Elder Wu remained near the Central Fire Sea as its flames grew stronger, uncertain how long his group could stay.

• Cultivators surnamed Zhou and Li discussed the Violet Thorn Domain’s advantages, Lingxiao Ke’s and Su Yu’s advances to Daluo Golden Immortal, and the gifts paid by three sects after Lingxiao Ke’s tribulation.

• A Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land expert told Elder Wu that the secret realm’s seas of fire had grown stronger and the realm had become hotter.
• Elder Wu said the fires had intensified since the Luo River World’s natural laws were restored and wondered how many more years they could remain.

Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land’s elders discussed Qin Huaian, Su Yu, and the changing Fire Seas as the Fire Origin aura appeared again. The Central Fire Sea and the other eight Fire Seas suddenly expanded, forcing nearby cultivators to retreat while fiery energy bands spread toward all eight seas.

• Elder Wu insisted that the Sacred Lord’s order to kill Qin Huaian still stood, while the elders discussed the Violet Thorn Domain’s growing spiritual energy and Su Yu’s advance to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
• The female cultivator speculated that the Fire Origin sustained the secret realm’s immense formation, and the elders noted that the seas of fire had grown stronger as the laws of heaven and earth were restored.

• Qin Huaian turned back and flew toward the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land, enraged by their threat and the captives' imprisonment.

Qin Huaian rescued Han Yunting and the other Yellow Mountain Sword Sect captives, then slaughtered most of the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land cultivators using teleportation and his perfected Yin-Yang Laws. The chapter ended with Elder Wu and three other survivors joining forces behind a defensive barrier as Qin Huaian pressed his attack.

• Han Yunting urged Qin Huaian to flee and avenge them, but a Late Golden Immortal smashed Han Yunting's body and seized his Primordial Spirit.

• A Great Perfection Immortal Venerable cultivator flew to the teleportation platform and asked Qin Huaian whether his warning was true.

Wei Hong and another Star Pavilion cultivator gave Qin Huaian a map of their secret teleportation arrays and told him that a passage from the Emerald Bamboo Domain led to the Violet Thorn Domain.

• A Joyous Union Sect cultivator asked Qin Huaian whether the palace clusters would be dangerous if the Li Fire Heaven-Burning Grand Array targeted them.
