• Qin Huaian found himself outside the great hall and saw Senior Turtle’s true form, a giant turtle whose body stretched beyond sight.
• Senior Turtle released pressure within a confined area as the laws surged around him, and the fluctuations pushed him out of the world.

After Senior Turtle told Qin Huaian how overwhelming power could eject him from the Luo River World, Qin flew toward the Central Fire Sea. He encountered a group of cultivators and asked whether they had come from the secret realm world or from outside the continent.

He warned the travelers that the volcano had likely been stripped years ago, then asked their leader whether he cultivated Earth-Attribute Laws.

He left the cultivator eager to seek enlightenment from the stele and helped spread the cultivation art as Senior Turtle intended.

Qin Huaian explained that the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body technique could only be truly learned by personally comprehending the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele, and Xing Wanjun trusted his account because of Qin Huaian’s renowned exploits. As Xing Wanjun left to seek enlightenment, he asked what else had helped Qin Huaian advance so quickly.

• Qin Huaian told a cultivator that the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body technique could not be passed on and required comprehending the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele.
• The cultivator trusted Qin Huaian because he had openly shared the Supreme Purity Ascension Scripture and had become famous for his achievements across the Violet Thorn Great World.

• Duan Linchuan teleported toward Qin Huaian and struck with a fist shadow, while Qin Huaian blocked it with Taiji Yin-Yang Fish formations and dodged the remaining force with his Golden Roc Wings.

• Duan Linchuan saw Su Yu of Star Pavilion approaching and fled, while Su Yu arrived at the battlefield.

Su Yu considered Duan Linchuan’s apparent injuries and planned to move Star Pavilion’s forces to the newly formed Parasol Tree Continent to take advantage of the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele. He returned to a Star Pavilion teleportation site and learned that increasing spatial stability was disabling teleportation arrays across the Violet Thorn Great World.

• Su Yu learned that more than half of the Violet Thorn Great World’s teleportation arrays had stopped working as space grew more stable.
• Su Yu asked Star Pavilion disciples how many teleportation arrays remained usable on the route to Meteorfall City.

• Qin Huaian saw a mid-stage Immortal Venerable meditating inside the cave that housed the Nine Luminaries Sect array.

• Yang Wushang explained that spatial anomalies had disabled many arrays and that no complete teleportation routes remained.
• Yang Wushang gave Qin Huaian a jade slip listing the Nine Luminaries Sect's remaining usable arrays and returned his Immortal Crystals.

• Su Yu asked Elder Liu how many disciples Star Pavilion had recruited, and Elder Liu reported nearly 970,000 non-immortals, over 30,000 immortals, and additional Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals.
• Elder Liu warned that experienced cultivators might not become loyal to Star Pavilion and could threaten its stability.
• Su Yu said his presence would prevent trouble, outlined plans to expand across Parasol Tree Continent and beyond, and raised mission rewards by twenty percent.
• Chen Pingzhi warned that supporting the new disciples and higher rewards could exhaust Star Pavilion’s reserves within two thousand years.
• Su Yu treated the resource warning lightly and told Elder Liu to keep recruiting disciples.

Su Yu ordered Star Pavilion to control Dragon Creek Continent’s resources, expand its teleportation network, and establish a major outpost near the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele. Meanwhile, Duan Linchuan learned that Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land’s forces would take about two more years to reach Celestial Origin Continent.

• Elder Zhong reported that Star Pavilion’s Dragon Creek Continent arrays were repaired, but the route to the Central Fire Sea would take three more years and required scarce Immortal Array Masters.

• Qin Huaian continued flying toward the original Dragon Creek Continent and had covered only one-tenth of the route in two years.
• Qin Huaian refined the Golden Roc Wings to the fifty-fourth restriction, then chose to focus on comprehending laws rather than struggle with the fifty-fifth.
• Qin Huaian put away his Flying Boat, spread the Golden Roc Wings, and vanished beyond the horizon.

Qin Huaian stopped his journey toward the Dragon Creek Continent to cultivate the Fire-Attribute Law, then encountered three cultivators traveling toward the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele. He disguised himself and approached them, leaving their conversation interrupted by his call.

• Qin Huaian flew across the Mystic Realm Continent with his Golden Roc Wings, then decided he could not reach Dragon Creek Continent quickly enough to help his allies and returned to his vessel to cultivate.

He learned that it had become the Parasol Tree Continent and that Star Pavilion maintained a costly public teleportation formation, while the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele was said to hold a powerful body-tempering technique.

• Qin Huaian stopped a flying vessel and politely asked its wary cultivators what had happened in the Mystic Realm World.

• The middle-aged cultivator described a body-tempering technique at the stele, and Qin Huaian feigned astonishment.

Qin Huaian learned that the Parasol Tree Domain was attracting cultivators with its rising spiritual energy and the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele, but chose to leave for the Violet Thorn Domain. He headed toward Star Pavilion’s teleportation formation, intending to find the Yellow Mountain Sword Venerable and recover the Yellow Mountain Sword Sect disciples.
