• Lu Xingshi activated Divine Weapon All Under Heaven's Eastern Sovereign Form, seized the solid green smoke, and began pulling as the Jade Emperor Phantom tore space and grabbed the Three Mysterious Ultimate True Grotto-heaven.

Lu Xingshi used the Jade Emperor Phantom and the Black Heaven Organization’s azure smoke to drag the Three Mysterious Ultimate True Grotto-heaven into the Mortal World, while the Western Mysterious Ancestor fought to hold it back. As other Cave Heavens might soon intervene, Lu Xingshi prepared to alter his Health Points to activate a hidden trump card.

• The Western Mysterious Ancestor realized Lu Xingshi was dragging the Three Mysterious Ultimate True Grotto-heaven into the Mortal World and identified the Black Heaven Organization’s azure smoke as an anchor.

• Lu Xingshi felt the world’s pressure as he continued pulling, and he recognized that the people falling from the sky were Cave Heaven disciples and elders.
• Lu Xingshi decided he could not maintain the deadlock until other Cave Heavens arrived, so he prepared to tamper with his Health Points to activate Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Demon Stars.

• Ancestor Juqu announced that the Three Mysterious Ultimate True Grotto-heaven had been destroyed, alarming the gathered Grotto-heaven Ancestors.
• Ancestor Juqu urged the forty-five Ancestors to enter the Mortal World together and attack Lu Xingshi rather than wait to be defeated one by one.
• Ancestor Wu Ling and the other Ancestors agreed to the plan and ordered their disciples and elders to scout the way.

Lu Xingshi tracked down and killed the Western Mysterious Ancestor, whose final retaliation endangered Yan Kingdom’s livestock but failed to cause human casualties. With the Number One Under Heaven achievement still incomplete, Lu Xingshi chose Ancestor Juqu’s Golden Altar Huayang Grotto-heaven as his next target.

• Lu Xingshi used the Western Mysterious Ancestor as a locator to find and seal the last Blood Mist threads hidden in a white-haired old man.
• The Western Mysterious Ancestor unleashed a Bloodworm Tide, but Lu Xingshi learned it threatened livestock at an evacuated Yan Kingdom ranch rather than people.

The clash devastated the world and set back spiritual energy recovery, leaving Lu Xingshi to restore Yan Kingdom’s defenses while preparing to eventually replace Crimson Heaven.

• Crimson Heaven accepted Lu Xingshi’s tampered World Authority, destroyed the blue-gray spiderweb, and fled when it sensed Azure Heaven.
• Lu Xingshi received a low-grade Flame Bloodline, discovered its potential to burn essence, qi, and spirit, and used it alongside the altered World Authority to track Crimson Heaven.
• Lu Xingshi determined that Crimson Heaven favored beasts and Mutants for its Bloodline Dao, while its struggle with Azure Heaven had devastated regions across the world.

• Lu Xingshi planned to rely on Yan Kingdom’s stored steam armaments and anticipated the rise of dangerous Mutants, while judging Crimson Heaven too weak to defeat Azure Heaven.
• Lu Xingshi began recovering as Divine Weapon All Under Heaven, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Diagram, the Jade Emperor Phantom, and the Golden Crow required repair or restoration.

After the Grotto-heaven Ancestors fell, the Yan Army attacked the All Nations Alliance using Steam Firearms as the decline in Spiritual Energy made True Qi weapons unreliable.

Lu Xingshi developed an infectious version of the Golden Book Jade Scroll through the human bloodline, allowing it to spread and make people cultivate involuntarily. He approved Pei Ming’s plan to lure the Cave Heaven remnants into a trap and promised to bear the damage to the Yan Kingdom’s credibility himself, while warning Pei Ming that privileges would not pass to his descendants.

• Lu Xingshi used his research into bloodlines to make the Golden Book Jade Scroll spread through humans and cultivate within them without their consent.

After dissecting one Beastfolk, he found that they could not cultivate Martial Arts and wondered whether they could reproduce with Mutants.

• Lu Xingshi concluded that Beastfolk bloodlines grew more complex and powerful across generations, then wondered whether Mutants and Beastfolk could reproduce.

Lu Xingshi investigated how mutants were inheriting and strengthening their bloodlines, suspected the Beast God was behind it, and arranged experiments using animals and semen from death-row prisoners. He told Murong Xuan that he planned to go to sea to investigate the Beast God, while Murong declined to return to work and revealed he had been cooking for Lu Xingshi.

• Lu Xingshi concluded that mutants could interbreed across bloodlines and grow into powerful creatures, and suspected the Beast God was an illegal outsider responsible for the Bloodline Dao.
• Lu Xingshi decided to study human reproductive material using animal gestational carriers, chose death-row prisoners as semen sources, and ordered a few healthy female animals brought in for experiments.
• Lu Xingshi handed a note to a eunuch for the Ministry of Justice and instructed him to avoid making a large or burdensome animal-gathering effort.

As the Penglai Fleet sailed toward the beastmen’s royal city, Lu Xingshi investigated shared nightmares among his soldiers and traced them to the Beast God Statue. The Beast God withdrew its power after Lu Xingshi confronted it, and he ordered the Manatee Beastman responsible imprisoned and executed upon their arrival.

• Lu Xingshi dissected the beastmen and studied their brains while the fleet continued its voyage.
• Wang Ling reported that nearly ten soldiers aboard the flagship had suffered the same underwater nightmares, and Lu Xingshi suspected the Beast God was involved.
• Lu Xingshi examined the Beast God Statue and found the Manatee Beastman praying before it; the statue’s eyes came alive as the Beastman’s prayers intensified.
• Wang Ling struck the Manatee Beastman when he insulted Lu Xingshi, and the Beast God erased the statue’s spirituality after affecting the surrounding environment.
• Lu Xingshi explained that the Manatee Beastman had used the statue’s power to cause the nightmares and escape, then ordered Wang Ling to imprison him and kill him upon their arrival.

Lu Xingshi stopped the Beast God’s storm and discovered that its bloodline safeguards punished beastmen whose faith wavered, ultimately destroying their bodies. After dissecting the Manatee Beastman and gathering what he needed, Lu Xingshi decided to capture guides before continuing toward the royal city.

• The Beast God summoned a storm and tsunami against the Penglai Fleet, but Lu Xingshi used the Jade Emperor Phantom to tear apart the clouds and calm the sea.
• The Manatee Beastman’s faith began to waver after witnessing Lu Xingshi’s power, and the Beast God’s bloodline safeguard caused his body to convulse and his mind to deteriorate.
• Lu Xingshi dissected the Manatee Beastman and found that wavering faith triggered physical punishment, followed by genetic destruction and the dissolution of the body.
• Lu Xingshi concluded that the Beast God had exploited the beastmen’s Bloodline Dao and that their faith could be broken, though the Manatee Beastman’s body dissolved before the dissection could fully succeed.
• Wang Ling admitted he was unsure of the route to the royal city, so Lu Xingshi decided they would capture beastmen to guide them.

• Lu Xingshi’s flame disrupted the Beast King’s attack, and cannon fire damaged his wing and sent him plunging into the sea.
• Lu Xingshi struck the Beast King with Great Handprints, while Wang Ling said that defeating the powerful Mutant easily would have required Sha Po Lang, Wu Qu, and the others.
