• Lu Qing turned in the captured True Spirits for Dao Merit, and Thunder Dragon wondered how he had found so many old Demonic Cultivators.
• The Dao Child Contest neared its conclusion, and Lu Qing's true body began withdrawing some attention from its cultivation in the Mirage Tower.

Lu Qing used the Mirage Tower to study the evolution of worlds and cultivation paths, discovering its greater value beyond Reincarnation tempering. As the Tower evolved an Incense Divine Path and a Divine Dynasty, he considered how the Human Path might establish its own Great Net of Humanity in the current era.

• Lu Qing realized that the Mirage Tower could be used to observe the evolution of heaven and earth and the Great Dao, not merely to temper himself through Reincarnation.
• Lu Qing watched the Tower evolve a world of divine beings and explored its Incense Divine Path, comparing it with the Immortal Path.

The Profound Heaven Mirror and Profound Heaven Bell discussed the changing fates of the Dao Children and Lu Qing’s potential, then wondered about his connection to the Reincarnation Authority. Meanwhile, Lu Qing’s incarnation taught a crowded lecture at the Dao Sect, demonstrating the first level of the Cloud-Water Misty Void Art.

• The Profound Heaven Mirror and Profound Heaven Bell discussed how the Sons of the Human Emperor and the Dao Children might contend for the Great Dao.

• Lu Qing demonstrated the spell with a branch and leaves, revealing its first level of True Intent.

• Zhou Shenlong entered with the crowd while disguised, with the Black Cat concealed in his shadow.

Zhou Shenlong and Black Cat waited in the West Sea while Zhou Shenlong tempered his Providence and avoided a mysterious call. In the Eight Wastelands, the Providence shifted and a divine mountain appeared, unleashing a continent-wide surge of Spiritual Resonance.

• Eight Wastelands cultivators and sect elders concluded that Humanity Providence brought their Fate Allotments a benefit, while its gains might reduce the fortune available at the West Sea Heritage Land.

• Lu Qing sensed that the tribulations had already begun and glimpsed mysteries surrounding Providence and the Great Net of Humanity.
• Zhou Shenlong rejected a Providence Transformation after the Black Cat warned him that something felt wrong, and he took a defensive magical treasure instead.

• Lu Qing continued walking and comprehending his Great Dao, remaining undisturbed by the difficulty of producing new insights.
• Lu Qing noticed a wave in the River of Time and judged that it carried the fading imprint of an expert who had likely already fallen.
• A second point of light appeared ahead on Lu Qing’s path.

Lu Qing contemplated the Great Dao, Heavenly Secrets, and the dangers of changing the past, then considered his remaining goals in the Dongzhen Realm. He concluded that the Dao-Seeking Hall, veiled by the Power of Time, would be a useful destination for cultivation.

• Lu Qing observed Great Dao Imprints and the Providence surrounding the Sons of the Human Emperor, but chose not to interfere with the Cause and Effect of the Nine Heavens.
• Lu Qing sensed how the Power of Time protected the Long River of Time and decided against disturbing the past or future.
• Lu Qing considered his Reincarnation Great Dao tribulation and the Dao-Seeking Hall as goals in the Dongzhen Realm.
• Lu Qing noted that the Dao-Seeking Brush might appear in the current era, though its time and location remained unclear.
• Lu Qing recognized the Dao-Seeking Hall as a suitable destination because the Power of Time covered it.

Lu Qing postponed opening the Dao-Seeking Hall and spent several years in seclusion comprehending Reincarnation. Across the Nine Heavens, a new Tribulation Cycle stirred the rankings as unfamiliar Divine Path prodigies entered the top ten, while Ancient Heavenly Secret continued transmitting its inheritance.

• Lu Qing decided not to open the Dao-Seeking Hall yet and planned to devote ten years to seclusion and comprehending Reincarnation.

• Lu Qing finished another divine abilities lecture for the Dao Sect’s outer disciples.

Lu Qing noticed signs of a great transformation in heaven and earth and answered Su Ming’s question about whether cultivators had to sever their emotions. His guidance changed Su Ming’s Providence, leading Lu Qing to investigate the Heavenly Heart Scripture and suspect that its cultivation method concealed a serious problem.

• Lu Qing examined the Human Path’s rising Providence and anticipated that a great transformation of heaven and earth was approaching.
• Su Ming asked Lu Qing whether cultivators had to sever their emotions and desires, and Lu Qing told him that tempering the Dao Heart did not require abandoning human nature.
• Lu Qing saw Su Ming’s Providence brighten after the advice and calculated that the Heavenly Heart Scripture Su Ming had been considering had a serious problem.
• Lu Qing borrowed the Heavenly Heart Scripture from the Library Pavilion and began examining its contents, which initially appeared sound but required extremely stringent conditions.

Lu Qing traced the Heavenly Heart Scripture’s Cause and Effect through time and discovered that generations of cultivators had failed to master it. The trail led back to the first era after the Ancient Era, where his deduction stopped short of the Tribulation Cycle.

• Lu Qing examined the Heavenly Heart Scripture and suspected that its connection to Providence involved hidden Cause and Effect.
• Lu Qing used a Heavenly Secrets seal to trace the scripture’s karmic history, seeing Su Ming hesitate before choosing it and later cultivators fail to master it.

• Lu Qing watched generations of cultivators, including heaven-blessed prodigies, fail to cultivate the scripture, while some mistook severing their relationships for attaining the Passionless Pass.
• Lu Qing traced the scripture back to the first era after the Ancient Era and stopped before his deduction reached the Tribulation Cycle.

Lu Qing used Heavenly Secrets Deduction to uncover the mortal origins of the Heavenly Heart Scripture and its connection to Human Path. He suspected the method could quietly weaken the Immortal Path’s resistance to Human Path, and planned to report the matter rather than intervene himself.

• Lu Qing borrowed the Profound Heaven Bell’s Fate Allotment to safely trace the Heavenly Heart Scripture’s earliest owner.
• The image showed a poor mortal scholar in green robes writing the scripture and wishing he could cultivate.
• Another scholar comforted him that they could enter Human Path cultivation, and the writer called Heavenly Heart as a Net a possible remedy for Human Path’s deficiencies.
• Lu Qing wondered whether the method was connected to the Primordial Era’s Human Path Mortal Web and concluded it might gradually make practitioners’ Dao Hearts indifferent and emotionless.
• Lu Qing considered that the method could help Human Path rise by drawing Immortal Path cultivators farther from the Mortal World, and decided to report the discovery upward.

Lu Qing reported a potentially dangerous cultivation method to Fu Huazi, who removed its entanglement with the Human Path Mortal Web. He then sent Lu Qing to inspect the Profound Heaven Library for further problems.

• Lu Qing visited the Council Hall and asked Fu Huazi whether the Humanity Grand Trend could let everyone become a dragon.
• Fu Huazi explained that the coming transformation could surpass the Primordial Era and that the Heavenly Heart Scripture needed changes to sever its Human Path Cause and Effect.
• Fu Huazi erased traces of the Human Path from the Jade Slip and asked Lu Qing to inspect the Library Pavilion with Thunder Dragon's assistance.
• White Crane Ancestor questioned Fu Huazi about placing his writings in the Library Pavilion, and Fu Huazi defended it as necessary for the sect's safety.
