After the battles ended, Feng Qixing drew Jiang Changkong into the mountains and questioned him about his multiple Star Bodies, trading a damaged near-god cultivation manual for an explanation involving Taiji.

Jiang Changkong used the Star Crystals and Essence, Qi, and Spirit he had accumulated to break through to the late Star realm and strengthen his Dao imprints.

• An unknown figure dragged them back and arrogantly announced that he had finally caught Jiang Changkong.

Feng Qixing captured Jiang Changkong and Liangqiu Xuanyi, hoping to seize the Near-God Treasure and take Jiang Changkong somewhere, but Jiang broke free and claimed the Six-Layer Palace. Jiang explored its maze and absorbed a Soul-Anchoring Tree branch, causing his own tree to grow rapidly.

• Jiang Changkong found a Soul-Anchoring Tree branch in the maze, and it merged into his tree, making it grow rapidly.

Jiang Changkong learned how to locate and open the near-divine treasure, but a vast Yellow Springs surged past the cave where he and his companions were hiding. A Nether Dragon emerged from the river and disappeared beneath it, leaving Jiang Changkong judging that the creature was powerful but not quite top-tier.

• The Soul-Anchoring Tree reached one zhang, and Jiang Changkong absorbed its guidance about the treasure and the six-level labyrinth.
• A foul, muddy river surged past the cave, and its waters rotted Liangqiu Xuanyi and Feng Qixing until Jiang Changkong healed them with Holy Sun power.
• Feng Qixing and Liangqiu Xuanyi identified the river as the Yellow Springs and explained that it moved when disturbed or when widespread death occurred.
• A massive Nether Dragon blocked the cave entrance, then flew over the Yellow Springs before diving into it as Jiang Changkong watched.
• Feng Qixing and Liangqiu Xuanyi pulled Jiang Changkong back into the cave, and Jiang Changkong concluded that the Nether Dragon fell short of top-tier strength.

Jiang Changkong entered the depths of the Void Realm with Feng Qixing and Liangqiu Xuanyi, where they encountered Yellow Springs and a Nether Dragon. After learning that powerful species and hidden forces inhabited the region, Jiang Changkong headed after the Immortal Palace candidates and questioned Feng Qixing about his origins.

• Jiang Changkong concealed himself and his companions from two Immortal Palace candidates who searched a cave after Yellow Springs passed.
• Liangqiu Xuanyi said the candidates had comprehended a trace of the Stellar Great Dao, while Feng Qixing welcomed Jiang Changkong to the depths of the Void Realm.
• Feng Qixing described the region’s species and forces, and Jiang Changkong said he planned to pursue Yellow Springs and the Immortal Palace candidates.
• Jiang Changkong questioned whether Feng Qixing was an Earthling or a survivor of the starry sky, then concealed his suspicions and continued onward with the others.
• Liangqiu Xuanyi pointed out that they still did not know where they were or how far they had to travel.

Jiang Changkong, Liangqiu Xuanyi, and Feng Qixing followed the Immortal Palace’s people and the Yellow Springs into an ancient city built as a Star Saint’s tomb. They used a Yellow Springs Stone to track the river, while the Star Saint’s corpse remained undiscovered.

• Jiang Changkong and the others learned that the Immortal Palace was driving the Yellow Springs toward a tomb where a Star Saint had been buried, and Jiang Changkong decided to enter despite Feng Qixing’s warning.
• The Golden Crow drove the Nether Dragon into a hollow hill, revealing the tomb, and the group followed them underground.
• Jiang Changkong’s group entered an ancient city filled with weakened star formations, where Star Demons and the Immortal Palace’s people were searching for the Star Saint’s corpse.
• Feng Qixing warned Jiang Changkong to avoid the palace at the city’s center, but Liangqiu Xuanyi used a Yellow Springs Stone to lead the group after the Yellow Springs.

Jiang Changkong and the others watched the Nether Dragon tear through the city in search of the Star Saint martial artist’s grave. When a hidden sword formation erupted from a pit, Jiang Changkong shielded Liangqiu Xuanyi and Feng Qixing, but the Nether Dragon then charged toward the exposed pit again.

• Jiang Changkong led Liangqiu Xuanyi and Feng Qixing toward the Yellow Springs as the Nether Dragon destroyed the city’s star formations, while the Immortal Palace martial artists and Star Demons waited in hiding.
• The Nether Dragon battered the ground around the central palace until the formations broke and a beam of azure light burst from the earth.
• The azure light became sword radiance that struck everyone across the city; Jiang Changkong blocked the attack and protected Liangqiu Xuanyi and Feng Qixing, then healed with Liangqiu Xuanyi’s tenth-rank potion.
• The Immortal Palace martial artists and three Star Demons moved to stop the Nether Dragon from entering the pit, and Jiang Changkong brought Liangqiu Xuanyi and Feng Qixing into the fight.
• The Nether Dragon overwhelmed the group with Yellow Springs and soul energy, then ignored the Immortal Palace martial artists’ attempt to deter it and rushed toward the pit again.

Jiang Changkong fought the Immortal Palace and the Star Demons over the pit, but Feng Qixing warned him that something had emerged and urged him to flee. As Jiang Changkong escaped with the Nether Dragon, a creature tore apart the Golden Crow treasure, leaving him to wonder whether a corpse had come back to life.

• The Immortal Palace martial artists summoned a tenth-rank Golden Crow treasure, while the Star Demons brought out three damaged weapons, and both sides turned their attacks on Jiang Changkong and the Nether Dragon.
• Jiang Changkong’s first punch failed to stop the Golden Crow, which wounded him, but he later used Taiji Unity to knock it into the ground.
• Feng Qixing warned Jiang Changkong that something had emerged from the pit and told him to leave, so Jiang Changkong seized the Nether Dragon and fled toward the city outskirts.
• Two arms rose from the pit, grabbed the Golden Crow, and tore it apart as a powerful Great Dao pressure swept across the battlefield.
• Jiang Changkong asked if a corpse had come back to life, while Feng Qixing warned that even a peak tenth-rank treasure might not withstand the creature.

Jiang Changkong escaped underground with his companions and made a deal with the Nether Dragon to share corpses in exchange for its help. When they returned to the ruined city, two Immortal Palace martial artists emerged with the guardian puppet restored to power, and Feng Qixing prepared to attack them.

• The Nether Dragon sheltered Jiang Changkong, Liangqiu Xuanyi, and Feng Qixing underground while Feng Qixing explained the guardian puppet and the Nether Dragon's origins.
• Jiang Changkong used soul power to agree that the Nether Dragon could keep corpses while the group took everything else, then taught it Star Script.
• Jiang Changkong treated his injuries, and the group returned to the city after a quarter of an hour to find it completely destroyed.
• The Nether Dragon sensed life in a pit, where the two Immortal Palace martial artists emerged alongside the guardian puppet, powered by energy from the Golden Crow treasure.
• Feng Qixing drew his sword and told Jiang Changkong and the Nether Dragon to stall the puppet while he killed the two Immortal Palace martial artists.

Jiang Changkong defeated two Immortal Palace martial artists, recovered a Star Saint’s inheritance, and gathered Star Crystals before setting out for a Near-God Treasure. He reached the edge of Star Demon territory despite Feng Qixing’s warning about a tenth-rank killing array.

• Jiang Changkong defeated the puppet and killed the two Immortal Palace martial artists, then Feng Qixing removed the puppet’s solar-energy stone.
• Jiang Changkong broke the star array protecting the Star Saint’s coffin and gave Feng Qixing the inheritance pearl in exchange for information about the Cloud Heaven Secret Canon.

• Jiang Changkong chose to seek the Near-God Treasure before visiting an Immortal Palace stronghold, hoping to find a soul-searching method in the inheritance.
• After several days of following the soul Star Script’s guidance, Jiang Changkong reached Star Demon territory, where Feng Qixing warned him about a tenth-rank killing array.
