After losing to Jiang Changkong, the Purple Star Heavenly King sought the Demon Emperor’s help and agreed to support his influence in the Demon Race in exchange for information about the Purple Star immortal office. The Demon Emperor then approached Jiang Changkong to negotiate a transaction involving the Demon Race’s treasures, and Jiang invited him into the immortal formation to talk.

• Screams and chewing sounds came from the dark hall as immortal light and Samadhi Divine Fire briefly flared and vanished.

Jiang Changkong destroyed the darkness concealing the divine hall and reunited with Sun Li, Sun Qing, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. As they searched the hall for a way forward, a hidden pattern swallowed one of the Immortal Kings.

• Jiang Changkong used the Pangu Banner’s heaven-opening power to destroy the darkness and reveal the corpses of the immortals and gods who had entered before him.
• Sun Li and Sun Qing emerged from the Purple-Gold Red Gourd, while the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and three Immortal Kings came out of the small pagoda.
• Sun Li explained that the Ginseng Fruits had come alive and eaten the immortals and gods who tried to pick them.
• Jiang Changkong and the others searched the divine hall, which was built from Chaos Divine Stones and covered in peculiar patterns.
• An Immortal King pressed a soft section of one pattern, and its suction swallowed him before the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King could intervene.

Jiang Changkong and the others fell into a hidden passage beneath the Chaos Divine Stone and reached a nest of blood-colored chaos beasts. As the beasts attacked and manipulated the others’ blood, Jiang Changkong began destroying them with overwhelming force.

• Sun Li found a Chaos Divine Stone floor tile that concealed a passage, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King’s attempt to investigate drew him and Jiang Changkong inside.
• Sun Li and Sun Qing followed them into the passage, while the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King’s two other subordinates stayed behind.

• Jiang Changkong and the others identified statues of Zhenyuan Immortal and Daoist Acolyte Breeze, then considered whether Breeze had left behind treasures.

Jiang Changkong and the others discovered a hidden emerald space containing a real ginseng fruit tree and pool, but ten fruits and the pool concealed Chaos vicious beasts and a powerful blood presence. As the beasts emerged, Jiang Changkong recognized the force sealing the space as Blood River.

• The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King discovered that kneeling on a prayer cushion revealed a secret in the Qingfeng statue, and Sun Qing activated it to open an emerald space.
• Jiang Changkong found a stone stele identifying the ginseng fruit tree as a branch transplanted by Qingfeng, and the group learned the pool held accumulated fruit essence.
• Jiang Changkong claimed the tree for himself and began uprooting it, sensing a faint blood aura as ten fruits started to tremble.
• Jiang Changkong exposed the ten fruits as disguises for Chaos vicious beasts and pulled Sun Qing, Sun Li, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King away from the blood pool.
• The vicious beasts attacked as the pool awakened a higher-god-level power that sealed the space with the Law of Blood, and Jiang Changkong identified it as Blood River.

Jiang Changkong fought the Chaos fiendish beasts emerging from the Blood River, repeatedly killing even one nearing the Immortal Emperor realm while allowing the pool to revive them. As the group discussed the coming reorganization of the Heavenly Realm, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King warned that a dark age was approaching, and Jiang Changkong said he favored neither the Heavenly Court nor the Divine Court.

• The Blood River pool produced a Chaos fiendish beast whose laws and divine body had nearly reached the Immortal Emperor realm.
• Jiang Changkong blocked its attack and reduced it to ashes with Chaos Divine Power, then killed it repeatedly as the Blood River revived it.

He traded a wisp of immortal office aura for three thousand top-grade sixth-rank immortal stones and prepared to let the Demon Court investigate Immortal Spirit.

• Feng Jiu told the Demon Emperor that the Immortal Court had found the underworld-opening method in an Immortal Emperor’s ruins and that the four great powers had agreed to compete for access.

• Kun Yu shouted for someone to invite the Demon Sovereign, and the Heaven-Devouring Python recognized Jiang Changkong and fled, but Jiang Changkong caught up with him.

Jiang Changkong tricked the Heaven-Devouring Python into taking the Phoenix Spear from Kun Yu, while the Python claimed credit for recovering it and pledged loyalty to the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor went to find Kun Yu, whom they discovered trapped in an immortal formation.

• Kun Yu and the Heaven-Devouring Python invoked the Demon Emperor’s name, and Jiang Changkong spared Kun Yu before leaving.
• The Heaven-Devouring Python boasted that an Immortal Emperor treasure would let them defeat Jiang Changkong, so Kun Yu threw him the Phoenix Spear and fled when Jiang Changkong seemed to return.
• Jiang Changkong revealed that he had used a decoy made of demonic qi to frighten Kun Yu into surrendering the spear.
• The Heaven-Devouring Python told the Demon Emperor that he had risked his life to reclaim the Phoenix Spear, and the Demon Emperor accepted it and set out with him to find Kun Yu.
• The Demon Emperor and the Heaven-Devouring Python found Kun Yu caught in an immortal formation, battered by its death qi.

The Demon Emperor rescued Kun Yu from an immortal formation and found a broken artifact in the ruins. Elsewhere, Jiang Changkong met the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, then heard the Purple Star Heavenly King's offer to pay him to kill the True Martial Heavenly King.

After handing over True Martial’s head, Jiang Changkong continued his search while the Demon Emperor agreed to capture him at Kun Yu’s suggestion.
