Meanwhile, Madam Mu delivered two treasures to White Old Freak, and Silver Moon waited for the group to reach her sealed true body.

• Fang Yu ordered Silver Moon to fuse with the woman and reclaim the wolf’s body, and Silver Moon’s spirit entered her before a silver light shot toward the giant wolf.
• Xiang Zhili left to retrieve the two treasures, while Fang Yu, Hu Old Devil, and Wind Old Freak waited anxiously to see whether the possession would succeed.

Silver Moon reclaimed her two-headed wolf body and revealed that Xiang Zhili, Wind Old Freak, and Hu Old Devil could not return to the Spirit Realm through the Reverse Spirit Passage. After they agreed to provide Fang Yu with Five Elements resources, she taught them about dangerous spatial nodes as another possible route, then gave Fang Yu additional information and asked him to remove her restraints.

• Xiang Zhili returned with the Dragon Transformation Seal and Four Symbols Ruler, and Silver Moon spent three days merging the two wolf heads and defeating the divine sense inside her body.
• Silver Moon told Xiang Zhili, Wind Old Freak, and Hu Old Devil that the Reverse Spirit Passage no longer existed and that her own imprint was the only reason she could summon a small passage back to the Spirit Realm.

After completing the Red Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi in Fire Prison, Fang Yu traveled to Northern Nether Island to seek Minor Ultimate Palace and cultivate the Black Emperor's Water Emperor Fist. He met the palace’s leaders and began discussing his purpose, leaving them wary of what he would ask.

• Xiang Zhili and the other Deity Transformation cultivators arranged for the Great Jin sects to exchange their Five Elements spiritual items, which were stored with the Ye Family for Fang Yu.
• Fang Yu killed a powerful fire spirit in Fire Prison and spent more than a decade cultivating the Red Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi, nearly exhausting the forbidden land.
• Fang Yu traveled to Northern Nether Island because Minor Ultimate Palace's location and Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Jade vein suited his plans to cultivate the Black Emperor's Water Emperor Fist.
• Ren Bi met Fang Yu outside Minor Ultimate Palace and, despite his misgivings, escorted him into the sect.
• The Palace Master and Minor Ultimate Palace's Nascent Soul leaders received Fang Yu in their reception hall and asked why he had come.

Fang Yu asked Minor Ultimate Palace to let him cultivate with its Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Jade Vein, offering ice-attribute divine abilities in exchange. After meeting Grand Elder Han Li, whose real name was Shi Xiang, Fang Yu discovered that Han Li’s hall held a cauldron resembling the Void Heaven Cauldron, and Han Li recognized Fang Yu’s artifact as a relic of Minor Ultimate Palace’s patriarch.

Fang Yu agreed to help Hanli Superior attempt a dangerous breakthrough in exchange for a secret technique and a future favor.

• Hanli Superior asked Fang Yu to help him break through to the Divine Transformation stage using five cold flames, and Fang Yu agreed in exchange for the technique and a favor owed.
• After Fang Yu left, Hanli told Bai Mengxin and a fellow elder that he had only a few years left to live and could not postpone the breakthrough, despite signs that demon beasts were gathering near Northern Nether Island.
• A month later, Fang Yu arrived with Bai Mengxin to join Hanli, a green-robed elder, Long Madam, and Master Mojiu for the breakthrough attempt.
• Hanli shrank the Void Heaven Cauldron, revealed an ice staircase beneath it, and led the group through an underground passage to an ancient jade hall.
• With Fang Yu present, the Council of Elders did not object and began helping open Void Heaven Hall.

Fang Yu joined Reverend Han Li in Dark Jade Cave to help her attempt a breakthrough while Minor Ultimate Palace prepared for a massive demon assault.

As the demons attacked the palace, Han Li broke through to the Deity Transformation stage inside a protected cave, while Fang Yu stayed with Bai Mengxin and the two arriving cultivators sought him out.

• White Old Monster told Xiang Zhili that Che Old Monster was searching for a spatial node in the Minor Ultimate Palace and that Fang Yu was cultivating there, so the two agreed to go watch.

• Fang Yu gave Ice Phoenix Fairy the supreme divine abilities Ice and Snow Boundary and Phoenix Dance, prompting her to end the Ice Sea clan's enmity with Minor Ultimate Palace before he began discussing the spatial nodes.
