• An Ke'er searched the sect database for a way to explain Xingdu's rapid cultivation increase and settled on dual cultivation.

Lin Qing refused An Ke'er's proposal to arrange a cultivation partner and asked for a detailed star map instead. After studying it, he found no familiar places and wondered whether the Milky Way Galaxy lay in the Hercules Realm, while news of his arrival stirred jealousy among the Myriad Stars Immortal Court's younger generation.

• An Ke'er proposed that Lin Qing pose as someone’s cultivation partner to explain his rapid cultivation, but Lin Qing insisted they claim he had a mysterious partner without involving a real woman.

While Lin Qing completed his cultivation arts, he learned that absorbing others' essence, energy, and spirit required time to digest, complicating his plans to advance rapidly through the Immortal Realm. After An Ke'er sent him to answer the challenges against him, she gave him a White Jade Gourd to preserve his opponents' essence, energy, and spirit.

• Lin Qing posted that he had reached the mid-twelfth tier and would fight challengers to the death on White Peace Star the next day.

• An Ke'er and several elders presided over the battles at sea, and Lin Qing invited the assembled disciples to challenge him.

Lin Qing, fighting under the name Xingdu, defeated a succession of Myriad Stars Immortal Court challengers and collected their corpses in a White Jade Gourd. After he invited late-twelfth-tier opponents to fight, An Ke'er tried to call him back, but an effeminate male voice encouraged the match.

• Wang Yiyang challenged Lin Qing, who warned him about the danger before accepting the fight.
• Lin Qing killed Wang Yiyang with a single sword slash and stored his corpse in the White Jade Gourd.
• Lin Qing defeated several more challengers, revealing his perfected wind will against an opponent skilled in two kinds of willpower.
• With no more mid-twelfth-tier challengers stepping forward, Lin Qing opened the field to late-twelfth-tier opponents.
• An Ke'er told Lin Qing to return, but an effeminate male voice said he should be allowed to fight a late-twelfth-tier opponent.

At Mo Xun’s urging, An Ke’er let Xingdu continue fighting, and Mo Xun offered to take anyone who defeated him as a disciple. After beating several challengers, Lin Qing invited the strongest late-eleventh-tier experts to attack him together.

• Lin Qing killed Luo Zhao and the other fighters until only Qi Fei remained, then stopped when An Ke'er asked him to spare Qi Fei.
• An Ke'er ended the battles and taunted Mo Xun, who left angrily after saying he would remember Lin Qing.

After absorbing the corpses he had collected, Lin Qing remained just short of reaching the Immortal Realm and went with Qi Fei to sell his spoils. At the merchant association, he found Bai Ling being mocked with a rumor about her and Xingdu, and Lin Qing became genuinely angry.

• An Ke'er explained that she had spared Qi Fei because Lin Qing had joined the Myriad Stars Immortal Court, and Lin Qing took Qi Fei with him rather than send her away.
• Lin Qing returned to his palace, left Qi Fei in Bai Ling's care, and absorbed the corpses in his cultivation room, but still fell ten years short of the essence, energy, and spirit he needed to ascend.
• Lin Qing asked Qi Fei to take him to a nearby market to sell items from the storage rings he had collected.
• Qi Fei told Lin Qing that Mo Xun had taken a disciple at the mid-twelfth tier, which Lin Qing thought would keep Mo Xun occupied and make him safer for the time being.
• At the merchant association, Lin Qing found Bai Ling being mocked over a rumor that she had practiced dual cultivation with Xingdu to help him improve, and he felt genuinely angry.

• Lin Qing arrived with Qi Fei and demanded to know who had slandered Bai Ling and him.
• The merchant association members blamed one another and pushed a scrawny man forward, whom Lin Qing slapped.

• Bai Ling told Lin Qing she was preparing supplies to serve at the Great Wall and had fewer than a hundred years until departure.
• Lin Qing was speechless at the short wait, since he considered a hundred years ample time to reach Golden Immortal.

Lin Qing attended the war departure ceremony, where Immortal King Shuji noticed his concealed cultivation before An Ke'er intervened. On their return to White Peace Star, An Ke'er explained that the square’s statue honored a Hercules Realm senior whose power had restrained the War Between the Two Realms twenty-five million years earlier.

• Immortal King Shuji led the departure ceremony, and the cultivators boarded warships for the Great Wall under an Immortal King’s command.

Lin Qing suspected that abnormal time in the Milky Way might mean only half a day had passed on Blue Star, giving him hope that he could still return to his grieving parents. After settling back into his Star Palace, he entered the virtual world to explore its cultivation resources and left a bar to teleport elsewhere.
