Three years after reaching Jinchang Island, Ning Fa encountered Shang Yang at an auction and followed him away to settle their old grievances. Shang Yang unleashed two powerful treasures, but Ning Fa destroyed his summoned Three-headed Giant Python with the Taiyin Slaughter God Banner.

• Shang Yang summoned the Blood Fiend Stele and a Three-headed Giant Python to fight Ning Fa.
• Ning Fa used the Taiyin Slaughter God Banner to shatter the python’s three beams of spiritual light and destroy the summon.

Ning Fa captured Shang Yang, overcame the Soul Suppressing Bell to search his soul, and learned of a powerful cultivator’s hidden cave dwelling on Jinchuan Island. After killing Shang Yang and collecting his treasure, Ning Fa prepared to pursue the cave and his enemies, but Blue Lightning announced it was about to break through into the Shapeshifting Realm.

• Ning Fa killed Shang Yang, collected the Soul Suppressing Bell and his Storage Ring, and resolved to investigate the cave and confront the Sikong Family and Ascension Alliance.
• As Ning Fa prepared to fly toward Jinchuan Island, Blue Lightning told him through their Mental Connection that it was about to break through into the Shapeshifting Realm.

Ning Fa guarded Blue Lightning through its nine-bolt shapeshifting tribulation and used the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book to trace its Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast bloodline. Blue Lightning completed its transformation into a woman, while Ning Fa discovered that it could also trace a Nether Prison Demonic Qilin bloodline.

• Ning Fa took Blue Lightning to a barren island, where it endured nine bolts of tribulation lightning and survived the final strike despite its severe injuries.
• The tribulation clouds formed Emperor Flow Sap, drawing demonic beasts toward the island, so Ning Fa sent Hei Yu and Little Ice to protect Blue Lightning.
• The Source-Crossing Heavenly Book offered Blue Lightning the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast and Nether Prison Demonic Qilin bloodlines, and Ning Fa chose the Azure Moon bloodline despite having enough Origin Points for either.

• Blue Lightning transformed into a woman, revealed her true gender, and warned Little Ice not to approach her after recalling how it had bullied her.
• Blue Lightning told Ning Fa that the true blood had changed her into an Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast and granted her inherited divine abilities; she also gave him the Emperor Flow Sap she had saved.

• A seven-colored pillar of light burst from the pit and exploded among the clouds as Ning Fa prepared to approach.

Ning Fa watched Blue Lightning overwhelm the Ascension Alliance cultivators, then slipped into the deep pit and discovered a huge formation powering a five-colored barrier amid an ongoing battle. The chapter left him descending toward the underground hall to investigate.

• Blue Lightning used her Water Escape Technique to ambush the yellow-browed old man and badly wounded him, while a demon beast killed a Core Formation Cultivator.
• Blue Lightning destroyed the old man's miniature mountain with her Azure Nether Pure Fire and pursued his escaping Nascent Soul.
• A pockmarked Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator emerged from the pit to reinforce the Ascension Alliance, while Ning Fa concealed himself and entered the pit.
• Ning Fa descended into a vast underground hall and saw a powerful formation, a five-colored barrier, and treasures clashing above it.

Ning Fa watched Sikong Yuanlie, True Lord Fenglong, and their allies besiege a powerful black-robed youth, then learned from Hei Yu that the youth was a Nascent Soul Late Stage Heavenly Puppet guarding the cave. When the youth exposed Ning Fa’s concealment, Ning Fa appeared before the hostile cultivators, leaving both sides startled and ready for a confrontation.

• Ning Fa observed Sikong Yuanlie, Sikong Zhibo, True Lord Fenglong, and two other cultivators repeatedly attack the black-robed youth, who drew power from the cave’s formation whenever his strength waned.
• Hei Yu told Ning Fa that the black-robed youth was also a Heavenly Puppet, and Ning Fa concluded that the puppet had been left to guard the Great Cultivator’s cave.
• Ning Fa noticed another hidden observer whom he suspected belonged to the Cangliu Sect and considered waiting for the rival groups to weaken each other.
• The black-robed youth’s circular blade struck toward Ning Fa’s hiding place, and Ning Fa revealed himself after blocking it with a palm of Silver Lightning.
• Sikong Yuanlie, Sikong Zhibo, and True Lord Fenglong recognized Ning Fa, while True Lord Fenglong threatened him and Sikong Yuanlie restrained him.

Ning Fa faced Sikong Yuanlie and his allies in the underground hall while a mysterious Heavenly Puppet proposed an alliance and revealed that other powerful figures were hidden nearby. Xiao Hongying emerged and agreed to help Sikong Yuanlie kill Ning Fa in exchange for the cave’s treasures and a five-thousand-year-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

• Sikong Yuanlie warned True Lord Fenglong and the others about Ning Fa’s strength, and the gathered cultivators paused rather than attack.

• Ning Fa warned Xiao Hongying that he would kill her and could eventually destroy the Xiao Family if she opposed him.
• Sikong Yuanlie offered Xiao Hongying an unknown condition, and she agreed to join forces with him despite Ning Fa’s threat.

• Ning Fa summoned Hei Yu, who transformed into a golden giant and charged at the Seven-Colored Python.

Ning Fa and Xiao Hongying fought to a stalemate, with both surviving each other’s powerful attacks. When Ning Fa’s black-robed ally returned to the formation to recover, Sikong Yuanlie and the others moved to surround Ning Fa, who revealed the Zhou Tian Yan Lei Mirror and warned them to run.

• Ning Fa countered Xiao Hongying’s arrows with his Geng Metal Sword and used the Chinian Divine Thunder, but her Divine Soul Defense Treasure blocked it.
• Xiao Hongying trapped Ning Fa with the Heavenly Restraint Fire Lotus and fired a powerful crimson-gold arrow, which Ning Fa stopped with his Mountain Suppressing Thunder Mountain.

• Sikong Yuanlie called on Xiao Hongying to use her Heaven Binding Ring, but Ning Fa stayed calm and revealed the Zhou Tian Yan Lei Mirror.

Ning Fa used the Zhou Tian Yan Lei Mirror to trap Sikong Yuanlie’s group in the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain and killed Sikong Zhibo with Minor Chaos Thunder. As he turned his attacks toward Xiao Hongying, Sikong Yuanlie broke through the domain and struck back, but Blue Lightning killed him and took his treasures.

• Blue Lightning appeared behind Sikong Yuanlie, extracted and destroyed his Nascent Soul, and seized the Mysterious Light Magic Gourd and his Storage Ring as his body vanished under the Minor Teleportation Talisman.

• Ning Fa defeated Sikong Yuanlie’s Annihilation Mysterious Light and collected his Mysterious Light Magic Gourd and Storage Ring.
• Xiao Hongying transformed into a Crimson Sun Profound Crow and trapped Ning Fa in her Qianyang Divine Fire, while True Lord Fenglong and the other survivors escaped the collapsing Zhou Tian Thunder Domain.

• Ning Fa emerged unharmed as his Essence Flame Firebird swallowed the Qianyang Divine Fire and awakened true Solar Essence Fire, astonishing Xiao Hongying.
• Ning Fa ordered the firebird to attack Xiao Hongying, but the fire’s lingering spiritual will began to suppress it, so he used his other flames to restrain the will and withdrew the firebird.
• Xiao Hongying demanded to know how Ning Fa obtained Solar Essence Fire, and he refused to answer.

Ning Fa and Baili Ming fought off their enemies, after which Baili Ming offered him treasures and revealed his past as a powerful puppet cultivator. He explained that the Nine Immortals Association had targeted him because of his Heavenly Puppet, leading him to name the dangerous Mi Tian Valley as the cause.

• Xiao Hongying escaped Ning Fa’s attack, while Baili Ming killed the white-haired woman’s Nascent Soul and joined Ning Fa in battling the remaining foes.
• True Lord Fenglong escaped as a Nascent Soul, while the brocade-robed man died; Ning Fa and Baili Ming then faced one another with their puppets at their sides.

• Baili Ming revealed that he was a Tianwu Continent cultivator with a Heavenly Artifact Spirit Body who had inherited the Heavenly Puppet Treasure Scripture and cultivated a powerful Heavenly Puppet.
• Baili Ming described the Nine Immortals Association as a dominant Human Realm force with five Spirit Transformation Cultivators and said it had targeted him because it wanted him to enter Mi Tian Valley.

Baili Ming explained to Ning Fa how the Nine Immortals Association forced him to enter Mi Tian Valley to use his fourth-grade Heavenly Puppet, and how he escaped before eventually merging his essence soul with it. He revealed that a remnant soul in the Puppet Spirit limb sabotaged his attempt to reach the Shapeshifting Realm, while a divided soul later exposed his hiding place.

• Baili Ming told Ning Fa that the Nine Immortals Association had secretly helped him grow his Heavenly Puppet, then imprisoned him and sent him to Mi Tian Valley to reach its inner valley.
• Baili Ming entered the inner valley but inexplicably lost his memories and reappeared in the outer valley; he found a Heavenly Marvelous Pill, broke his restrictions, and escaped.
• Baili Ming fled to Nine Dragons Sea after the Nine Immortals Association slaughtered his clansmen to trace him, then staged his death and fused his essence soul with his Heavenly Puppet at Jinchuan Island.
• Baili Ming explained that he became a Puppet Spirit Body and later fought a remnant soul hidden in the Heavenly Puppet limb, defeating it but suffering damage to his divine soul during his attempted breakthrough.
• Baili Ming said his divided soul escaped and ultimately revealed his hiding place, bringing Ning Fa and others to Jinchuan Island.

Baili Ming revealed that a Five Elements Thunder Body cultivator had left a Divine Thunder Origin in Mi Tian Valley, then offered Ning Fa and Hei Yu powerful inheritances in exchange for opposing the Nine Immortals Association. Ning Fa agreed to let Baili Ming accompany him under a Spirit Control Barrier, and the chapter ended with him discovering Five-Colored Divine Soil in Baili Ming's treasury.

• Baili Ming explained that an Artifact Spirit had asked him to bring a Five Elements Thunder Body cultivator to the Divine Thunder Origin left by its former master in Mi Tian Valley.
• Baili Ming warned Ning Fa that the Nine Immortals Association would target him over Hei Yu and offered to strengthen Hei Yu and teach Ning Fa a secret art to turn him into a Puppet Spirit Body.
• Baili Ming admitted he wanted Ning Fa to inflict grievous losses on the Nine Immortals Association because his worsening divine soul injuries left him only a few decades to live.
• Ning Fa agreed to let Baili Ming stay by his side but insisted on placing a Spirit Control Barrier on him.
• Baili Ming led Ning Fa to his treasury, where Ning Fa spotted a gray lotus seed in Five-Colored Divine Soil and recognized the soil.

Ning Fa obtained Baili Ming’s Mystic Sky Green Lotus seed and agreed to find Baili Ming’s surviving clansmen, then escaped Jinchuan Island and met Fairy Yuanxing. Fairy Yuanxing agreed to help him find his original cultivation world, but first asked him to retrieve her Heavenly Star Orb from Star Luo Palace and provide his original world’s name and some blood.

• Ning Fa recognized Baili Ming’s lotus seed as a likely Mystic Sky Green Lotus seed and realized it might grow within his Primordial Realm Pearl.
• Baili Ming asked Ning Fa to find his surviving clansmen in the Tianwu Continent and deliver the things he had prepared, and Ning Fa agreed.
• Ning Fa planted the Spirit Control Barrier on Baili Ming, took him and the cave’s treasures, and fled Jinchuan Island while disguising himself.
• A month later, Fairy Yuanxing appeared to Ning Fa beneath the twin moons and reproached him for missing their past meetings.
• Fairy Yuanxing said she would help Ning Fa find his original cultivation world if he retrieved her Heavenly Star Orb from Star Luo Palace, then asked for the world’s name and some of his blood.

Ning Fa learned three possible ways to return to the Cangyuan Cultivation World from Fairy Yuanxing, and chose to pursue a hidden ancient teleportation array in the Ice Sea. After Fairy Yuanxing vanished, he focused on the location she had revealed: the Ice Moss Wasteland.

• Ning Fa gave Fairy Yuanxing a drop of blood so she could perform Star Divination and find a way back to the Cangyuan Cultivation World.
• Fairy Yuanxing told Ning Fa that the Sea Race's teleportation array on Sea Emperor Island could take him to Cangyuan, but he already knew he could not use it.
• Fairy Yuanxing explained that the twin-moon phenomenon and the Moon Radiance Heavenly Seal could enable a teleportation formation, but only when both phenomena peaked together in five hundred and fifty years.
• Fairy Yuanxing revealed a hidden ancient teleportation array in the Ice Sea, at the northernmost edge of the Nine Dragons Sea, and gave Ning Fa its location.
• Fairy Yuanxing told Ning Fa how to contact her during future twin-moon phenomena, then returned as Ning Fa murmured, "Ice Moss Wasteland..."

Ning Fa traveled through the Ice Sea with Blue Lightning and Wen Hui, learning from Baili Ming about the Ice Sea Demon Race and the Nine Dragons Sea’s hidden political history. He reached the Ice Moss Wasteland and found a concealed valley where Fairy Yuanxing had indicated the teleportation array might be.

• Ning Fa brought Wen Hui with him to the Ice Sea after arranging for Hermit Wuxin to protect the Moon Gazing Sect.
• Baili Ming told Ning Fa that the Blood Heaven Sect had secretly established its only branch sect in the Cangyuan Cultivation World, which appeared to conceal an important secret.
• Baili Ming warned Ning Fa that the Ice Sea Demon Race had once possessed two Spirit Transformation Demon Cultivators, including an Ice Phoenix, and described the many powerful cultivators and rival forces in the Nine Dragons Sea.
• Baili Ming said he wanted to visit the Blood Heaven Sect branch in Cangyuan to investigate gaps in his inheritance, then withdrew to conserve his soul power.
• Ning Fa traveled more than eighty thousand li into the Ice Sea and reached the Ice Moss Wasteland, avoiding spirit beasts along the way.
• Ning Fa spotted an inconspicuous ice valley at the foot of several mountain ranges and guided the flying boat into it.

Ning Fa found a hidden Ice Crystal Grand Hall containing an Ancient Teleportation Array, while Little Ice began receiving an inheritance inside it. After several days, Ning Fa sensed two Late Shapeshifting Demon Cultivators approaching and urgently called Blue Lightning to bring Wen Hui back.

• Ning Fa found a concealed Fifth-grade Barrier in an ice fissure, and Little Ice caused it to open a passage into a hidden grand hall.
• Little Ice entered the hall's altar barrier and began receiving an inheritance from a mysterious white pearl, while Ning Fa sensed its aura growing stronger.
• Ning Fa discovered an Ancient Teleportation Array and activated it with ten High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Ning Fa studied the array for several days as Blue Lightning and Wen Hui visited the hot springs, until he sensed two Late Shapeshifting Demon Cultivators approaching from the northwest and called Blue Lightning to return with Wen Hui.

Ning Fa hid with Blue Lightning and Wen Hui as two Late-stage Metamorphosis Demon Cultivators arrived at the ice valley. He overheard the Phantom Nether Butterfly invite the Ice Phoenix Bing Ning to join a Demon Court and Tidal Council offensive against the Human Race, then reveal a mysterious plume tied to Bing Ning’s ancestor, leaving Bing Ning demanding to know how she got it.

• Ning Fa concealed Blue Lightning and Wen Hui, then watched as the Ice Phoenix Bing Ning and the Phantom Nether Butterfly arrived at the valley.
• The Phantom Nether Butterfly told Bing Ning that the Demon Court and Tidal Council planned to attack the Human Race and asked the Ice Sea Demon Race to join them.
• Bing Ning refused, saying her race did not involve itself in the conflicts among the three races.
• The Phantom Nether Butterfly brought up Ancestor Bing Chen and revealed a powerful white plume that she claimed came from him.
• Bing Ning recognized the plume and demanded to know how the Phantom Nether Butterfly had obtained it.

Ning Fa witnessed the Ice Sea Demon Race being tempted to join the Demon Court, then struggled to protect Little Ice and escape the arriving demon cultivators. He teleported away with Little Ice and his companions, leaving the Ice Phoenix unable to follow because the array at the other end had been destroyed.

• The woman in the colorful dress offered the Ice Sea Demon Race information about Ancestor Bing Chen in exchange for sending troops, and the silver-dressed woman agreed to report the offer to her ancestor.
• Ning Fa sent a warning to Senior Brother Wu Xin, but Little Ice’s inheritance began destabilizing its barrier and drew both demon women toward the hidden hall.
• The silver-dressed woman attacked Ning Fa with her High-grade Spirit Treasure, while Blue Lightning and Ning Fa countered with their abilities to buy time.
• Little Ice received the Ice Soul Pearl and entered Ning Fa’s Spirit Beast Bracelet; Ning Fa, Blue Lightning, and Wen Hui activated the Ancient Teleportation Array.
• The Ice Phoenix broke through Ning Fa’s defenses but hesitated when a Five-Colored Thunder Cloud appeared, allowing the group to vanish; the array then became unusable, enraging the Ice Phoenix.
