Jiang Changkong interrogated an Immortal Palace member and learned the group had used Sin Domain residents as expendable scouts to investigate a moving palace from the starry sky. After defeating them, he uncovered the survivors underground, accepted their offerings, and ordered them brought outside while revealing he could control Heng Moxuan.

• Jiang Changkong forced the middle-aged man to explain that the Immortal Palace's Investigation Palace had recruited Sin Domain residents as cannon fodder to scout the Blood Qi Palace.
• The middle-aged man claimed he knew little about the Immortal Palace beyond his squad, so Jiang Changkong used the Spirit Controlling Formula to seize and destroy his soul.

Jiang Changkong evacuated the rescued people from Sin Domain and uncovered the Blood Qi Palace buried beneath the earth. Its eruption battered him and cracked Sin Domain’s barrier, leaving An Shanhe and Lin Qin rushing to reinforce it.

• Jiang Changkong opened the sealed spatial passage, and Yao Chan and the Heng family members contacted their relatives to stabilize it and escort the rescued people out.
• Heng Moxuan left, while the full-moon sphere promised to protect the evacuees and arrange their new identities; Jiang Changkong forced Professor Yu into the passage when he refused to leave.
• After everyone withdrew, Jiang Changkong carefully uncovered the buried palace, whose blood qi blasted away the remaining earth and struck him with tremendous force.
• An Shanhe returned from drinking and found Sin Domain seemingly gone, then Lin Qin spotted the barrier and questioned him.
• Blood-red light slammed into the barrier and cracked it, so An Shanhe ordered Lin Qin to reinforce the shield before they entered to investigate.

Jiang Changkong explored the blood-filled palace, where he found preserved corpses and deciphered an inscription about the Battle Palace and an Immortal Scripture Fragment. The chapter left him with a clue that whoever obtained the Divine Pearls of the three palaces and drew upon the Three Lights could claim the fragment.

• Jiang Changkong entered the Blood Qi Palace and discovered that its walls were covered with Force Patterns and star script that he could not record.

• Jiang Changkong read that the Divine Pearls of the three palaces and the Three Lights could grant someone an Immortal Scripture Fragment.

Jiang Changkong activated the Three-Colored Stone Pearl and received a fragment of a Battle Body Star Array Diagram after it nearly drained him dry. He learned that the Battle Palace allowed each person one item, then met the arriving martial artists and warned them of the rule.

• Jiang Changkong poured blood qi into the Three-Colored Stone Pearl, which absorbed his strength until he collapsed, then restored him and inscribed Star Array diagrams in his mind.
• Jiang Changkong checked his changed cultivation data and identified the new Battle Body Star Array Diagram fragment as a high-grade low-rank array art.

• Yao Qing explained that Near-Gods had left their names and martial arts in the Battle Palace, and Lin Feng led the group upstairs to search for them.

• Huo Qinglan, Nan Zhaokong, and several other martial artists received inheritances after worshipping, and they thanked Jiang Changkong for advising them.
• Jin Hansheng and other martial artists tried worshipping again, but Huo Qinglan found no star glyphs near the corpse Jiang Changkong said had spoken to him.
• Lin Feng demanded that everyone go to the third floor, and Jiang Changkong's group agreed to go without taking anything else.
• Jiang Changkong and the others bowed to the corpses and then followed the group up the stairs.
• The group entered the third floor, where a powerful bloody aura made Lin Feng and Huo Qinglan shudder and caused the others to cough up blood.

Jiang Changkong and his group entered the Battle Palace’s third floor, where Lin Feng and the others ignored his warning and seized multiple Near-Divine martial arts. An awakened corpse killed cultivators with invisible attacks, and the group realized it might be a former body-tempering Near-Divine cultivator.

• Lin Feng used a golden barrier to protect the group as they entered the blood-qi-filled third floor and revealed hundreds of stone boxes containing Near-Divine martial arts.

• Huo Qinglan avoided the corpse’s attack, but Lin Feng’s sword broke when he struck it, and Jiang Changkong concluded that the corpse might have been a body-tempering Near-Divine cultivator.

Jiang Changkong altered the corpse’s star array, changing its attack into an imprisonment that kept the group alive but trapped them on the third level. As he recovered, Jin Hansheng proposed taking control of the life-saving method, and several martial artists agreed.

• Lin Feng and Huo Qinglan failed to break the old man’s near-god defenses, while Yao Qing suggested that the corpse might be vulnerable from within.
• Jiang Changkong used the Spirit Controlling Formula to probe the corpse’s star array, injuring his soul, and Heng Xi gave him herbs to restore it.

• Jiang Changkong explained that he had changed the array into an imprisonment array, and the group realized that escaping might bring the other corpses back into play.
• After the group recovered, Jin Hansheng proposed that they take control of Jiang Changkong’s martial arts and star-array knowledge, and several martial artists supported him.

Jiang Changkong fought the martial artists who turned on him, using his Force Patterns and a silver-white sword to repeatedly behead Jin Hansheng. As his enemies moved to suppress him, he activated the battle body star array diagram, and the corpse on the palace’s second level roared again.

• Huo Qinglan and three allies tried to protect Jiang Changkong, but Lin Feng and the others attacked them under the suppressive force.
• Jiang Changkong revealed he had been awake, transformed into his Three-Zhang Golden Body, and charged the traitors while Huo Qinglan’s group held off some of them.

• Jiang Changkong bound Jin Hansheng with his Force Patterns and repeatedly cut off his regenerating heads with a silver-white longsword.
• Jiang Changkong activated the battle body star array diagram as the martial artists tried to suppress him, drawing in the surrounding blood energy.
• A Force Pattern’s roar sounded from the palace’s second level, and the supposedly dead corpse roared again.

Jiang Changkong and the others escaped the Blood Qi Palace after the Lunar Sword stirred the Force Pattern, then watched the palace vanish into a spatial rift. Back aboard the warship, the group compared their inheritances and agreed to seek Jiang Changkong’s help if they found the palace again.

• Heng Xi used the Lunar Sword to widen the escape opening, and Jiang Changkong led the group out as the Force Pattern roared.
