• Half a month later, Yao Xi reported that Myriad Beginnings Holy Land had issued a Hunt Order against Ye Fan and his companions after they copied three Taichu Stone Steles and dug up another ancient stele.

Qin Sheng examined the Myriad Beginnings steles with Ye Fan and their companions, then heard about An Miaoyi’s journey through the Buddhist Bodhisattva Realm and warned Ye Fan about the dangers of her pursuing Buddhism. As Ancient Saints and a renowned young prodigy arrived from beyond the domain, Beidou entered a new era of turmoil, leaving the visitors stunned by the ancient star’s extraordinary powers and threats.

• Ancestor King Huo Tan recognized Ye Fan and his companions and confronted them, while Qin Sheng watched from the Eastern Immortal Sleeping Palace.

Ye Fan and his companions plotted to kill Huo Tan after the newly made Ancestor King attacked them, while the opening of the Emperor Tomb drew powerful figures from across Beidou. When Qin Sheng arrived, the tomb’s aura led the gathered experts to suspect it belonged to the Ruthless Emperor, and they questioned whether Shaking Light Holy Land could claim it.
