• Uesugi Etsu sensed the group’s power as their Golden Eyes appeared, and he raised a white cloth and begged them to spare him.

The Snake Qi Eight Families learned that Erii had been taken by Xia Mi and rushed to find her, while she met Uesugi Etsu and discovered he was her father. The reunion drew in Etsu’s estranged sons, Gen Chisheng and Kazama Ruri, and ended with the family gathered tensely at the ramen cart.

• The Snake Qi Eight Families found surveillance showing Xia Mi had taken Erii to the University of Tokyo area, and Gen Chisheng set out to retrieve her.

• Qin Sheng told Duan De he would need to contribute when they explored the dangerous locations.

• After traveling nine hundred thousand miles, Xiao Nannan spotted a black, fuzzy figure wearing a jar with a ghost-faced lid like Qin Sheng's, and Qin Sheng asked Duan De whether they should attack.

Qin Sheng and Duan De were separated after a spatial vortex swallowed them in the Lightless Domain, and each found a different part of a small world tied to the Taiyin Lineage. Qin Sheng learned the Lunar Immortal Platform Scroll and teleported to Duan De just as the grave robber approached an underground palace.

• Xiao Nannan spotted a pattern forming near Ruthless's Dao Shadow, and its completion triggered a spatial vortex that swallowed Qin Sheng, Xiao Nannan, and Duan De.

• Qin Sheng caught up with Duan De at the underground palace entrance, and they agreed to explore together and split its contents.
• Qin Sheng and Duan De found the palace empty except for murals recounting Taiyin Human Emperor's rise, including how the Moon Laurel Divine Tree helped him survive his death calamity.

• Duan De rushed to the ninth level and found a stone coffin on a sacrificial altar bearing an inscription asking Taiyin Human Emperor to return and rest there.
• Qin Sheng and Duan De touched the coffin together, then Qin Sheng claimed it for himself and told Duan De to take the rest of the tomb.

Qin Sheng and Duan De found only Dao Tribulation Gold in the empty Human Emperor tomb, then searched the little world for Xiao Nannan. Qin Sheng found her on the moon, where she led him to a Moon Laurel Divine Tree branch and a powerful Moon Pool, while Duan De remained trapped outside the barrier.

• Qin Sheng and Duan De opened the coffin, found Dao Tribulation Gold instead of a corpse or treasures, and argued over how to divide it.
• Qin Sheng and Duan De left the underground palace and searched the little world separately, but Qin Sheng could not find Xiao Nannan on the ground.
• Qin Sheng realized Xiao Nannan was on the moon and used the Spatial Dao Patterns to reach her after the Lunar Origin Power barrier blocked him.
• Qin Sheng and Xiao Nannan found a stone house, a wooden house bearing Ruthless Emperor's traces, and a Moon Pool with a Moon Laurel Divine Tree branch.
• Xiao Nannan gave Qin Sheng the branch and told him she had drunk from the pool, which Qin Sheng recognized as a precious source of Moon Essence.
• Duan De noticed the moon's treasures but could not pass through the barrier, and he watched Qin Sheng claim them.

• Qin Sheng used the Purple Gourd to collect all the Primordial Moon Essence Elixir from the Moon Pool, leaving its source intact.
• Qin Sheng found a Moon Laurel wood tablet bearing the Sole-Self Supreme Sacred Art and Three Thousand Great Worlds, then took it for himself.
• Duan De demanded a share of the treasures, and Qin Sheng gave him what he claimed was his due after they searched the stone house and found the Taiyin Human Emperor's writing.
• Longevity Abbey and Human King Hall staged another false exchange of the Divine Spirit Scripture, while news spread that an ancient corpse with at least Saint-level power had been found in the Minggu Forbidden Land.

Xiao Nannan found a hidden island and Qin Sheng recovered a map fragment and a Fusang branch, while Duan De pursued a separate lead to an Immortal opportunity.

• Qin Sheng learned that Longevity Abbey and Human King Hall had probed Ziwei again and that rumors claimed he was an outsider, then left Sun Ancient City with Li Wan and Yi Qingwu.

• Qin Sheng gave Xiao Nannan a Coffin Nail, and she broke the golden concealment around the Ancient Cave Abode, revealing a Fusang Divine Tree branch, weapons, and a map fragment.
• Duan De escaped a sea-beast pursuit after stealing an egg, then followed a Fish Talisman toward an Immortal Soil opportunity, convinced Qin Sheng would fail to find the Fusang Divine Tree.
