Fang Shu and Wu Zhibai opened the Golden Coffin, triggering a catastrophe that exposed the Wu Family Mausoleum and scattered its treasures across the region. After escaping separately, Fang Shu deciphered the coffin text and discovered it was the Profound Womb Myriad Gu Nascent Soul Scripture, an inheritance leading to Refining Spirit.

• Fang Shu used Dragon Qi to collect thousands of strange gu insects from the Bronze Stone Gate and returned to Wu Zhibai as she finished refining the Mystic Scripture Characters.
• Wu Zhibai opened the Golden Coffin with her blood, and she and Fang Shu seized seven Spirit Stones before a surge of treasure light blasted apart the Mausoleum and Mount Wu.
• The white-bearded Wu Family Ancestor charged toward the coffin, was badly burned by its treasure light, and watched as nearly ten clusters of treasure light scattered in different directions.
• Fang Shu left the Witch-Ghost Dao without pursuing the scattered treasures, and Wu Zhibai soon fled in another direction as Golden Core immortals arrived and fought over the loot.
• Fang Shu escaped a thousand miles away, where the Dao Register decoded the coffin text as the Profound Womb Myriad Gu Nascent Soul Scripture, an inheritance leading to Refining Spirit.

After escaping the Witch-Ghost Dao, Fang Shu opened five Supreme-grade Spirit Stones and discovered rare treasures, including two ancient insect eggs and powerful medicinal herbs. Studying the Mysterious Womb Scripture of Ten Thousand Gu Nurturing an Infant revealed a Gu Dao path to Refining Spirit, and Fang Shu ended the chapter resolving to forge his own cultivation path from the legacies he had gathered.

• Fang Shu fled for several days, disguising himself and hiding his aura until he had left the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind.
• Fang Shu opened five Supreme-grade Spirit Stones and found two insect eggs, rare ore, and two herbs with more than a thousand years of medicinal potency.

• Fang Shu learned that the scripture described a Gu Dao route to Refining Spirit and reconsidered whether to follow it instead of Mount Lu's Corpse-Liberation Immortal Dao.
• Fang Shu decided he might combine his inherited Refining Spirit methods and use the Dao Register to forge a cultivation path of his own.

Fang Shu devised a cultivation method called Gu Planting in the Dao Heart, using gu insects planted in other cultivators to nourish himself. He identified the rare Spirit-Sucking Larvae he had found in the Wu Family mausoleum as a promising medium and resolved to raise them despite their deadly sensitivity to spiritual qi.

• Fang Shu burned dragon qi to develop a cultivation path that combined his inheritances and envisioned using gu insects to grow within other cultivators, eventually returning their strength to him.
• Fang Shu named his method Gu Planting in the Dao Heart and considered helping cultivators break through in exchange for their cultivation after death.
• Fang Shu rejected the Scarlet True Flying Centipede and the idea of developing many gu species, deciding that his method needed a single, simple insect.
• Fang Shu read the Myriad Gu Scripture and learned that the Spirit-Sucking Insect consumed spiritual qi, could break formations, and had nearly vanished from the world.
• Fang Shu revealed the Spirit-Sucking Larvae he had found in the Wu Family mausoleum and discovered that spiritual qi killed them, while dragon qi seemed to sustain them.
• Fang Shu concluded that he could raise the larvae using dragon qi, bowed toward Mount Wu in gratitude to the Wu Family ancestor, and carefully put the insects away.

Wu Zhibai formed her golden core while being hunted, awakened memories from one of a Refining Spirit ancestor’s incarnations, and chose to protect her own identity as she set out toward Vast Sea Immortal City. Meanwhile, Fang Shu arrived in the Dao-Virtue Profound Teaching’s territory.

• Wu Zhibai studied the Myriad Gu Scripture, found a Millennium Spirit Herb and a powerful Gu Insect Egg, and began forming her core despite sensing that pursuers were closing in.

• Wu Zhibai decided to seek Fang Shu and flew toward Vast Sea Immortal City, while Fang Shu continued south and reached the Dao-Virtue Profound Teaching’s prosperous territory.

Fang Shu traveled through the Moral Profound Teaching's territory and found cultivators sharing their skills and prosperity with mortals, leading him to question his assumptions about the sect. At the Western Altar, he reunited with Jiao Lulu and learned that Zong Qingxue was attempting to form a Golden Core while the Deer Cart Earth Immortal and his companions had been made spirit beasts.

• Fang Shu saw cultivators tending mortal farmland and helping cities thrive, then nearly lost himself in their luxurious revelry before continuing to the Western Altar.
• Fang Shu explored the Moral Profound Teaching's vast city and discovered that its disciples lived among the people, with open paths to advancement but harsh penalties for offenses.
• Fang Shu met Jiao Lulu, his former neighbor from Guling Town, and learned that she and others from Mount Lu had been sent to the Western Altar as immortal seedlings.
• Jiao Lulu told Fang Shu that the Deer Cart Earth Immortal and his companions had been delivered alive but were taken as spirit beasts by True Disciples.
• Jiao Lulu explained that Zong Qingxue had earned a True Immortal's favor and entered seclusion to attempt forming her Golden Core, astonishing Fang Shu.

Fang Shu learned how the Moral Profound Teaching governed lands it considered uncivilized and accompanied Jiao Lulu on an urgent mission to investigate a river plague. The chapter left Jiao Lulu treating the infected river with sword qi while gaining strength from the water vein’s fortune.

• Jiao Lulu told Fang Shu that the Moral Profound Teaching sent promising cultivators from wilderness regions to the Western Altar to civilize them, and that it ruled other Dao veins through a loose-rein policy.
• Jiao Lulu invited Fang Shu to join her mission so he could judge the Teaching’s rule for himself, and Fang Shu agreed while hiding his identity.
• Jiao Lulu explained that her mission involved investigating trouble in a river, where cultivators and spirits reported that caught fish and shrimp became covered in a scarlet substance.
• Jiao Lulu identified the problem as a plague among aquatic creatures, then tested samples and found a way to counter it with azure sword qi.
• Jiao Lulu swept along the river, using sword rays to cleanse infected stretches as the water vein replenished her true qi and improved her fortune.

Fang Shu watched Jiao Lulu govern the rivers and recognized how the Moral Profound Teaching’s merit system gathered fortune for its disciples. He refined a Scarlet True Flying Centipede into a Golden Core spirit insect, then began collecting materials for an External Incarnation and headed to another auction.

• Jiao Lulu continued treating the water plague, while Fang Shu observed her work and realized that merit gathered fortune that could support a disciple’s Golden Core tribulation.
• Fang Shu left Jiao Lulu without disturbing her and decided to refine an External Incarnation before joining the Moral Profound Teaching, wary of the teaching’s unknown restraints.
• Fang Shu refined the Scarlet True Flying Centipede egg, merged the newly hatched insect with his other centipede, and raised the result to Golden Core.
• The Golden Core centipede developed a dragon-like form and could conceal itself as a scarlet-gold strand of hair, giving Fang Shu a powerful new weapon.
• Fang Shu searched Profound Altar for the spiritual materials required to refine an External Incarnation, obtaining most of them through auctions, trading gatherings, and an immortal middleman.
• Fang Shu went to another auction to look for needed materials or overlooked treasures.

Fang Shu attended a Golden Core auction at the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Pavilion, where a young woman offered a Divine Immortal Artifact fragment in exchange for medicines. After recognizing that several attendees were trying to drive down her price, Fang Shu intervened with a voice transmission to seize the opportunity.

• Fang Shu entered the auction and watched the Golden Core immortals bid on treasures, while he made no offers because he lacked spirit stones and the materials he needed.
• An old man failed to trade his estate deed because he insisted that the buyer help his clan produce another Golden Core true immortal.
• A young-looking woman presented a handkerchief-sized Divine Immortal Artifact fragment that could anchor fortune and protect whatever it covered from divine sense and divination.
• The woman asked for medicines suitable for the Golden Core realm, and the attendees learned that she belonged to the Chu Household, whose ancestor had apparently failed to survive a tribulation.
• Fang Shu suspected that several immortals were working together to lower the fragment’s price, and he sent the woman a voice transmission before another buyer could secure it.

Fang Shu defended Chu Qingxuan from a Yang Household cultivator who tried to force her to trade away her Refining Spirit object and invoked the Inspection Hall to intimidate him. After the man claimed that he was the law, Fang Shu brushed aside the Hall’s suppression and slapped him, leaving the gathering stunned.

• Chu Qingxuan withdrew her Refining Spirit object after Fang Shu offered a spirit herb over three thousand years old in exchange.
• The Yang Household cultivator pressured Chu Qingxuan to accept his poor offer and tried to isolate Fang Shu from the other guests.
• Fang Shu openly backed Chu Qingxuan, who rejected the Yang cultivator’s offer and prepared to leave with him.
• The Yang cultivator blocked the exit, invoked his Inspection Hall post, and demanded that Fang Shu explain himself.
• Fang Shu questioned whether the Inspection Hall served the Yang Household or the Profound Teaching, and the cultivator declared that he was the law.
• Fang Shu ignored the Inspection Hall’s pressure and slapped the Yang cultivator, silencing the gathering.

Fang Shu revealed the Goose Divine Immortal’s Edict Talisman and his status as a True Disciple, then had Yang Baikai captured for abusing the Inspection Hall’s authority. He set out to enter the Profound Teaching with the Treasure Pavilion’s help after completing his exchange with Chu Qingxuan, who received longevity ginseng to treat Old Master Chu.

• Fang Shu showed the gathering the Edict Talisman, which named him a True Disciple, and Yang Baikai acknowledged its authenticity.
• Fang Shu ordered Yang Baikai arrested for misusing the Inspection Hall’s authority, and the Treasure Pavilion’s immortals helped suppress and restrain him.
• Fang Shu placed Yang Baikai in his Storage Bag and asked the shop’s immortal to guide him into the Profound Teaching.
• Chu Qingxuan asked whether their agreement still stood, and Fang Shu exchanged a jade box for her Refining Spirit fragment.
• Chu Qingxuan opened the box and found three-thousand-year longevity ginseng that could save Old Master Chu.

Chu Qingxuan hurried home with Fang Shu’s life-extending medicine while word of his capture of Yang Baikai spread through the Moral Profound Teaching. Fang Shu arrived at the Profound Altar, was recognized as the Goose Divine Immortal’s True Disciple, and asked the elders when the Ancestral Altar would next recommend someone for cultivation, leaving them silent.

• Chu Qingxuan left the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Pavilion to consult her ancestor about repaying Fang Shu’s kindness, as message talismans carried news of Fang Shu through the Teaching.
• Yang Baidi ordered Yang Baikai stripped of his duties and petitioned for expulsion, then sent out talismans while wondering about Fang Shu’s motives.
• Fang Shu reached the Profound Teaching’s gates and displayed the Divine Immortal Decree, prompting the immortals to bow and welcome him as a True Disciple.
• Fang Shu refused to parade through the city, entered the Profound Altar, and met the three elders on duty.
• After confirming the decree’s authenticity, Elder Yushan explained the privileges of a True Disciple, and Fang Shu asked when the Ancestral Altar would make its next recommendation; the elders fell silent.

Fang Shu learned that the Profound Teaching would not send another group of True Disciples to the Ancestral Altar for decades and found the teaching delaying his residence assignment. He left for his city meditation chamber, while Elder Yushan and the other elders plotted to stall the overseas group and let Wenxiang’s relatives keep occupying Fang Shu’s residence.

• Elder Yushan told Fang Shu that the previous group had sailed two years earlier and the next recommendation would normally take decades.
• Fang Shu asked for a True Disciple’s residence, but Elder Yushan said the teaching would prepare one and asked him to stay elsewhere in the meantime.
• Fang Shu declined other lodging and flew out of the Profound Teaching’s grounds to return to his city meditation chamber.
• Elder Yushan proposed delaying the overseas group for a year by citing worsening sea storms, and the other elders agreed to send notices.
• Elder Yushan rejected the suggestion to remove Wenxiang’s relatives from Fang Shu’s residence, and the elders realized the occupation was deliberate.
• Fang Shu entered his spiritual chamber, where a figure was waiting for him.

Fang Shu revealed that he had been using an External Incarnation to enter the Profound Teaching and meet other immortals, and planned to finish refining it with treasures gathered through the Chu Household. He refined the Divine Immortal’s handkerchief fragment, discovering that it could conceal and protect his true body beneath the incarnation’s cover.

• Fang Shu reunited with his true body and resolved to complete refining his External Incarnation after collecting several natural treasures.
• Fang Shu decided to ask the woman surnamed Chu to help gather the treasures, since her clan already collected spiritual items for the Profound Teaching.
• Fang Shu found that the handkerchief fragment resisted his dragon qi, then spent several days and a supreme-grade spirit stone to leave his qi within it.
• Fang Shu tested the handkerchief by hiding his true body beneath it and found that his incarnation could not detect him or harm him with spells.
• Fang Shu concealed his true body beneath the handkerchief and concluded that the fragment would let him travel and act through his incarnation with less risk of discovery.

Fang Shu completed the purification of his External Incarnation, then accepted the Chu Household’s allegiance and hired Chu Qingxuan as an Attendant. After learning of a possible way to secure a place at the Ancestral Altar and discovering that Elder Wenxiang still occupied his residence at Cloud Mountain, Fang Shu began asking about the Teaching’s disciplinary rules.

• Fang Shu finished purifying his External Incarnation and tested its abilities before leaving his room.
• Elder Chu and Chu Qingxuan offered the Chu Household’s allegiance and returned Fang Shu’s payment, but Fang Shu accepted their support while hiring Chu Qingxuan as an Attendant.
• Elder Chu explained that Fang Shu might claim a place among the Refining Spirit prospects headed toward the Ancestral Altar, whose route would take them through the Western Sea Dragon Palace’s Sea Market.
• Elder Chu revealed that Elder Wenxiang’s disciples still occupied Fang Shu’s Cloud Mountain residence, and Fang Shu suspected Wenxiang was testing him.
• Fang Shu questioned the Chu Household about the Teaching’s disciplinary precedents, including the consequences for killing someone.

After declining to involve the Chu Household more deeply, Fang Shu went to the Profound Altar to claim Cloud Mountain as his residence and his place at the Ancestral Altar. When Elder Yushan replied only that he was aware, Fang Shu proceeded to Cloud Mountain and forced his way through its formation.

• Fang Shu let Old Master Chu lead Chu Qingxuan away, deciding that the declining clan could be useful as friends but not as partners.
• Fang Shu went to the Profound Altar and asked to take possession of Cloud Mountain under his master's authority.
• After waiting three cups of tea, Fang Shu received Elder Yushan's message: “I am aware.”
• Fang Shu ordered the cultivator on duty to record his visit, then flew toward Cloud Mountain in a conspicuous display of power.
• Fang Shu reached Cloud Mountain, ignored its defenders' rebuke, passed through the Mountain-Guarding Formation, and sent golden streaks across the mountain.

Fang Shu used the Divine Immortal Decree and the Profound Teaching’s Fortune to devastate Cloud Mountain after its cultivators attacked him. Just as Elder Wenxiang arrived to mediate, Fang Shu killed the three Core Formation cultivators who had begged for their lives, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Fang Shu revealed the Divine Immortal Decree, but Cloud Mountain’s cultivators attacked him anyway, so he unleashed golden light that killed or maimed many of them.
• The mountain’s three Core Formation cultivators formed a Three Talents Formation and charged Fang Shu, but his command of the Profound Teaching’s Fortune subdued them.
• Fang Shu discovered the three cultivators were Guest Elders and struck them with Scarlet Gold Divine Light, while they tried to escape and summon help.
• Elder Wenxiang emerged from the Profound Altar and urged Fang Shu to stop, but Fang Shu killed all three Core Formation cultivators before Wenxiang could intervene.

Fang Shu killed three Golden Core Attendants on Cloud Mountain and used the Profound Teaching’s rules and the Divine Immortal Decree to avoid punishment. The elders later decided to grant him an Ancestral Altar quota and send him out to sea, while Fang Shu began searching the mountain for Wenxiang’s clansmen and their remains.

• Fang Shu killed three Golden Core Attendants, and Elder Wenxiang arrived furious and prepared to seize him.
• Fang Shu invoked the Teaching’s rules and the greater good, while Elder Yushan and the other elders intervened to stop Wenxiang from attacking him.
• Elder Yushan urged Fang Shu to release the remaining Immortal cultivators and treat Wenxiang’s clansmen properly, then departed with the other elders.
• Fang Shu ordered the mountain cleaned and searched Cloud Mountain for Wenxiang’s clansmen, intending to make use of the living and the dead.
• The five elders met in the Profound Altar and discussed how Fang Shu’s return revealed the Goose Divine Immortal’s strength and complicated their affairs.
• Elder Wenxiang proposed granting Fang Shu an Ancestral Altar quota and sending him out to sea, and the elders approved and issued an Edict Talisman.

After taking Cloud Mountain, Fang Shu received a Profound Teaching decree granting him priority to pursue an Ancestral Altar quota and command the True Disciples overseas. He began preparing for the journey and arranged for disciples from Mount Lu, including Jiao Lulu, to join him at Cloud Mountain.

• Fang Shu inventoried Cloud Mountain, bound Elder Wenxiang's clansmen and disciples, and summoned Old Master Chu and Chu Qingxuan to help manage the estate.
• Old Master Chu and Chu Qingxuan arrived, learned Fang Shu had killed three Core Formation cultivators, and followed his instructions for settling and managing the mountain.
• A ritual official delivered Fang Shu an Edict Talisman granting him priority for an Ancestral Altar quota and appointing him Western Envoy with authority over True Disciples abroad.
• Fang Shu accepted the decree, recognized that it would provoke resistance from overseas disciples, and planned to use its authority to secure a quota; he also asked the ritual official to find certain people in the mountains.
• News of Fang Shu's actions and decree spread through the Profound Teaching, while the Chu Household received congratulations from the Yang Household.
• Disciples from Mount Lu, including Jiao Lulu, were invited to cultivate at Cloud Mountain under Fang Shu's orders, and Jiao Lulu left with them after her merit paperwork was approved.

Fang Shu’s old Mount Lu companions were rescued from their degraded lives under the Profound Teaching, including Deer Cart Earth Immortal, who had been forced to live as a deer. When Fang Shu reunited with them, he used spirit liquid to heal their injuries and restore the Sheep Cart Earth Immortal’s senses.

• A Profound Teaching party found Deer Cart among the spirit deer on Deer-Horn Mountain and exposed the abuse he had suffered under True Disciple Deer Lover’s servants.
• The party restored Deer Cart to his human form and ordered the acolytes to face an investigation; Deer Cart wept and could only make a deer’s cry.
• Fang Shu ended his secluded cultivation and summoned his Mount Lu acquaintances to gather on his mountain.
• Fang Shu saw that Deer Cart and Sheep Cart Earth Immortal had suffered, then gave his companions spirit liquid that removed their ailments and revived Sheep Cart’s awareness.

After celebrating his victory on Cloud Mountain, Fang Shu went to the Moral Profound Teaching's Profound Altar to register as a True Disciple. The Teaching's karma ensnared both his incarnation and true body, but his childhood Dao Register blocked the chains and transformed into a Dao Insect that began devouring them.

• Fang Shu celebrated with the cultivators on Cloud Mountain, assigned a dog to the Spirit Beast Court, and entrusted the mountain to the Deer Cart Earth Immortal and the others before planning to leave overseas.
• Fang Shu learned that Zong Qingxue remained in seclusion and Xiao Lili had disappeared, though the Teaching's divinations suggested Xiao Lili was still alive.
• Fang Shu traveled to the Profound Altar, where Elder Yushan led him through the rites to register as a True Disciple of the Moral Profound Teaching.
• As Fang Shu contemplated the Teaching's fortune, karmic chains trapped his External Incarnation and reached his true body on Cloud Mountain, overcoming his formations and Divine Treasure handkerchief.
• Fang Shu's Dao Register blocked the chains inside his mind and became a Dao Insect that gnawed several of them apart, awakening a hunger to devour more.

Fang Shu devoured the Profound Teaching’s karmic chains, gained extraordinary authority over its fortune, and discovered that the Teaching’s Thousand-Foot Divine Immortal was a vast millipede. After spending weeks absorbing the Western Altar’s scriptures, he remained in the Scripture Pavilion, where his voracious reading drew the attention of other disciples.

• Fang Shu disguised his Dao Insect’s feelers as karmic chains and survived scrutiny by the vast consciousness connected to the Profound Teaching’s karma.
• Fang Shu used his karmic vision to glimpse an enormous creature beneath the Profound Altar, then quickly withdrew his gaze when it sensed him.
• Fang Shu’s External Incarnation drew on the Profound Teaching’s fortune and discovered that his authority as a True Disciple exceeded his expectations.
• The Thousand-Foot Divine Immortal sensed the Teaching’s stirred fortune, learned that Fang Shu had become a True Disciple, and suspected a wretched bird had arranged it.
• After contemplating in the ceremonial hall, Fang Shu went to the Scripture Pavilion and read over a hundred thousand volumes, attracting disciples who either sought his favor, mocked him, or copied his example.

Fang Shu left the Profound Teaching West Altar after confirming that the Heavenly Mandate meant heaven’s favor, then prepared to travel overseas. Before he left the teaching’s territory, Zong Qingxue came to see him, and after learning about her failed core formation and damaged Nine-Tribulation White Sword, Fang Shu offered her a transaction.

• Fang Shu concluded that refining spirit in the Outer World required winning heaven and earth’s recognition and decided to pursue the Heavenly Mandate.
• Fang Shu declined Elder Yushan’s offer of a ceremonial retinue and escort, then used Cloud Mountain’s surplus resources to prepare for his voyage and support its inhabitants.
• As Fang Shu left Cloud Mountain, Zong Qingxue caught up with him and explained that she had failed to form her core after abandoning the Nine-Tribulation White Sword as an elixir seed.
• Zong Qingxue told Fang Shu that the Hundred-Armed Immortal Aunt had taken her as a disciple to gain her fortune and turn the awakened sword into a sword-arm, but had saved her during her failed tribulation.
• Fang Shu examined Zong Qingxue and her sword, found her foundation damaged but the sword potentially recoverable, then produced a purple stone and offered her a transaction.

Fang Shu gave Zong Qingxue precious ore to restore her sword, secured her promise to lend it and return with him to the Mount Lu Secret Realm, and tested his newly awakened ability to sense karma. He traveled west to the Vast Sea Desert to find a ship, where a captain revealed that the sea’s dragon veins were anciently called Chidao, a term linked to the ancient Daoists.

• Fang Shu lent Zong Qingxue rare ore to awaken her Nine Tribulations flying sword into a Golden Core artifact and asked her to lend it to him and accompany him back to the Mount Lu Secret Realm within three hundred years.
• Zong Qingxue swore to obey Fang Shu, then returned to Cloud Mountain with the ore while Fang Shu watched to ensure she was safe.
• Fang Shu sensed that his karmic connection with Zong Qingxue might make her useful at the Mount Lu Secret Realm and judged that she could still attain the power of a True Immortal despite her failed core formation.
• After circling for several days to ensure he was not followed, Fang Shu traveled west to the Vast Sea Desert and boarded a fleet’s cloud ship to learn about sea travel.
• The captain explained that ships followed gentle ocean waterways called dragon veins and revealed that those routes were known in ancient times as Chidao, which Fang Shu recognized as knowledge tied to the ancient Daoists.

Fang Shu returned to Vast Sea Immortal City after learning about the Ancient Daoists and the sea routes from Captain Che. When the Law Enforcement Hall welcomed him back, Fang Shu revealed his Profound Teaching True Disciple token and declared that their reception was far too small.

• Fang Shu learned from Captain Che about the ancient Chidao sea routes and the Sea Markets as their ship approached Vast Sea Immortal City.
• Fang Shu used his Direct Disciple Token to get Captain Che's ship an early berth, and news of Hu Muhuang's return spread through the Immortal Prefecture.
• Law Enforcement Hall disciples surrounded the restaurant, but Shi Ming saluted Fang Shu and said they had come to arrest his Direct Disciple, not the True Immortal.
• Shi Ming led the Law Enforcement Hall disciples in welcoming Fang Shu back, while Captain Che realized Fang Shu held a powerful position in the prefecture.
• Fang Shu displayed his Profound Teaching True Disciple token and said the welcome was far too small.

After revealing himself as a Moral Profound Teaching True Disciple, Fang Shu was welcomed with great ceremony by the Vast Sea Immortal Prefecture. At a banquet in its main hall, he recognized his martial uncle among the late arrivals and bowed to him.

• Fang Shu showed the Dao and Virtue Edict Talisman, and Shi Ming and the Law Enforcement Hall disciples realized he was a Moral Profound Teaching True Disciple.
• Grand Elder Bright Moon and other Vast Sea True Immortals arrived, confirmed Fang Shu’s status, and escorted him to the Immortal Prefecture’s main hall.
• Fang Shu entered the hall and attended a banquet, while Vast Sea True Immortals gathered to greet him.
• Fang Shu waited for someone he knew, and several arguing True Immortals arrived late to the banquet.
• Fang Shu recognized a gaunt, bald old man among the arrivals, rushed over, and respectfully greeted him as his martial uncle.
