• Xu Youxia refused to continue with Bai Zhan and Ji Yuan and declared that he was returning to Martial God Continent.

Xu Youxia chose to leave the Heaven-Escaping Shuttle and seek strength on the Martial God Continent, while Ji Yuan and Bai Zhan continued toward North-Knowing City.

Bai Zhan confronted two Mount Taihua cultivators who had disguised themselves and trapped Ji Yuan’s Heavens-Escaping Shuttle, then revealed his true Void Refinement Late Stage cultivation. He seized High Person Stone Star and turned toward Hermit Empty Valley, warning them not to mistake the Thunder Pool Lineage for a fallen power.

As the Human Realm moved toward wider conflict, Bai Zhan reunited uneasily with his family, helped Ji Yuan seek rare materials and brewing recipes, and heard Ji Yuan ask him to investigate Hua Yaoyue.

• Bai Zhan revealed that Bai Zhixian was his father, and Bai Zhixian welcomed Bai Zhan and Ji Yuan to North-Knowing City.
• Bai Zhixian described escalating wars across the Human Realm, the factions competing for the Thunder Pool, and his refusal to ally with the Demon God Continent.
• Bai Zhixian's wife and Bai Zhantang arrived; after they left, Bai Zhan silenced Bai Zhantang's taunts and asked him about failed reforms at North-Knowing Tower.

• Ji Yuan privately asked Bai Zhan to investigate whether Hua Yaoyue could be found.

Ji Yuan received North-Knowing Tower’s wine recipes and a Nine-Yin Nine-Yang Stone while Bai Zhan arranged a meeting with Lu Haitang to seek a Creation Fruit. Lu Haitang offered the fruit in exchange for either hearing Bai Zhan call her Big Sister Lu or seeing his real face.

• Ji Yuan told Bai Zhan that Hua Yaoyue had been his master on the Cangluo Continent, and Bai Zhan promised to help find her.

Ji Yuan and Bai Zhan secretly parted ways after publicly setting out for the Central Continent, with Ji Yuan heading toward Kunxi before eventually traveling toward the Demon God Continent. Three years later, Dong Qian’s Blood Marrow Coffin collapsed as its blood energy flooded into her body, and Ji Yuan sensed a new power gathering within her.

• Lu Haitang gave Ji Yuan a Creation Fruit after Bai Zhan refused to reveal his true appearance, then told him that High Person Stone Star had been killed by Hermit Empty Valley.

• Tu Yue alerted Ji Yuan that Dong Qian had changed, and the Blood Marrow Coffin broke apart as its blood energy entered her corpse.
• Ji Yuan reached toward Dong Qian to stop her body from withering, then sensed a new power slowly gathering inside her.

Dong Qian’s Fish-Woman inheritance awakened a Second Primordial Spirit after her body crumbled, and she reunited with Ji Yuan before revealing that her First Primordial Spirit lived on as the Hatred-Severing Devil Lord’s disciple. As her new spirit weakened, Ji Yuan carried her toward the Demon God Continent for Soul-Nourishing Wood, while Dong Qian offered him a technique to disguise himself as a demon.

• Dong Qian’s corpse decayed into ash as a new Primordial Spirit formed, and she recognized Ji Yuan and embraced him.
• Dong Qian explained that the Fish-Woman’s Second Primordial Spirit art had saved her, and she told Ji Yuan that her First Primordial Spirit survived and had a reconstructed body on the Demon God Continent.

• Dong Qian’s unstable Second Primordial Spirit entered the Soul-Nourishing Wood box, which Ji Yuan realized would sustain her for only about ten years.
• As Ji Yuan flew toward the Demon God Continent to find more Soul-Nourishing Wood, Dong Qian warned him about the danger to Human Race cultivators and offered to teach him the Demon-Transforming Art.

Ji Yuan mastered enough of the Demon-Transforming Art to adopt permanent Phoenix and Horned Dragon identities, then entered the Demon God Continent as Long Chuan. In Giant Bear City, he sought Soul-Nourishing Wood for Dong Qian and learned that Xiong Gang knew someone who might help him find it.

• Ji Yuan completed the Form Transformation and Spirit Transformation volumes of the Demon-Transforming Art, and Dong Qian warned him that he could choose only two demon identities.
• Ji Yuan chose the Phoenix Clan and Horned Dragon Clan, transformed into both forms, and named his Horned Dragon identity Long Chuan.

• Frostfang told Ji Yuan that no Soul-Nourishing Wood had been found on Empty Demon Island in centuries, and Xiong Gang said someone on the island might know where to look.

Ji Yuan mastered enough of the Demon-Transforming Art to assume Phoenix and Horned Dragon identities, then entered the Demon God Continent as Long Chuan. In Giant Bear City, he sought Soul-Nourishing Wood for Dong Qian and learned that Xiong Gang might know someone with a lead.

• Ji Yuan learned the Demon-Transforming Art from Dong Qian and spent months mastering its Form Transformation and Spirit Transformation volumes.

Ji Yuan traveled with Frostfang to meet She Qing, killed Frostfang to demonstrate his power, and learned that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood grew in Black Miasma Forest. He and She Qing planned to attack the Poison Forest Lizard Tribe and waited near Giant Whale City for another ally, a Canglan Crocodile.

• Ji Yuan flew with Frostfang to the Poison-Miasma Marsh to seek She Qing, learning about the war and the route to the Demon God Continent along the way.

• Ji Yuan checked the Wine Cellar panel and found its upgrade requirements met.

Ji Yuan upgraded the Wine Cellar, broke through to the Two Viscera Realm, and obtained a powerful Five-Elements Ascension Wine. He joined Yu Qing, Ekun, and Ying Ning on an expedition to the Black Miasma Forest, where they discovered the Poison Forest Lizard Tribe had already been wiped out.

• Ji Yuan upgraded the Wine Cellar with Spirit Stones and Five-Element Essence, and the upgrade’s heightened comprehension helped him break through to the Two Viscera Realm.
• The upgraded Wine Cellar produced a Five-Elements Ascension Wine that could temporarily grant Ji Yuan the power of the Void Refinement Realm.
• Ji Yuan saw that the Wine Cellar’s next upgrade would produce Heaven-Stealing Creation Wine, which could add two hundred years to a drinker’s lifespan, but required rare materials and more wine recipes.
• Ji Yuan answered Yu Qing’s messages and returned to find her, Ekun, and Ying Ning waiting to depart for the Poison Forest Lizard Tribe.
• The four demons flew south for a month to the Black Miasma Forest, where Ying Ning smelled blood and warned that someone had already wiped out the tribe.

Ji Yuan and his companions found the Poison Forest Lizard Tribe slaughtered and traced the attackers to five demons who had taken the Soul-Nourishing Wood. After fighting them above a great river, the survivors escaped, and Ying Ning began to explain why she and She Qing had targeted the tribe.

• Ji Yuan and the others searched the ruined ancestral land, found the tribe and its eggs destroyed, and discovered that all three Soul-Nourishing Wood trees had been taken.
• Ying Ning divined that five demons, none at the Sixth Tier, had attacked, and the group pursued them after Ekun stopped them above a great river.
• Ji Yuan killed the Jackal Hound demon with Annihilation Netherfire, while Ying Ning used her essence-soul doubles to slay the Black Python and helped defeat the Azure Viper.
• Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli fled after their side lost three members, leaving Ji Yuan, Yu Qing, Ying Ning, and Ekun facing one another warily.
• Ying Ning asked Ji Yuan whether he wanted to know why she and She Qing had targeted the Poison Forest Lizard Tribe.

Ji Yuan gathered Soul-Nourishing Wood but learned that Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli had taken the Ten-Thousand-Year piece, then promised Dong Qian he would find the materials needed to rebuild her body. He upgraded the Star-Gazing Tower to Level Five, and the chapter ended as Long Yun evolved into a Fifth-Tier Horned Dragon.

• Ji Yuan took three sections of five-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood and eight Fifth-Order Demon Cores from the demons’ Storage Bags, but learned Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli had the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood.
• Ji Yuan left She Qing, Ying Ning, and Ekun; She Qing and Ying Ning then pursued Ekun to reclaim the Storage Bag they had given him.
• In the Cave Abode, Ji Yuan rejected Dong Qian’s incomplete list and learned she needed Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood, Xuanhuang Pure Soil, Sacred Clan Essence Blood, and the Fountain of Life to rebuild her body.
• Ji Yuan used the required materials to upgrade the Star-Gazing Tower, witnessing visions of distant events as the tower’s starry effects awakened.
• Ji Yuan sensed Long Yun break through to the Fifth Tier and begin transforming into a Horned Dragon.

Long Yun broke through to the Fifth Tier and became a Horned Dragon, while Ji Yuan planned to use a Phoenix Clan identity to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood. When Ji Yuan reached Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli’s hiding place, he found them dead and Ying Ning waiting there with a troubling account of what had happened to their companions.

• Long Yun evolved into a Fifth-Tier Horned Dragon, and Ji Yuan told him to prepare to join the campaign while urging Long Fei to keep cultivating.
• Ji Yuan gave Jin Lei a Fifth-Order Demon Core and gave Dream Butterfly two stalks of Illusionheart Grass before reviewing his needs and deciding to pursue the Soul-Nourishing Wood held by Bai Yuan.
• Dong Qian explained that the Phoenix Clan’s status would make Bai Yuan submit, so Ji Yuan used the Star-Gazing Tower to locate Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli.
• After a month’s journey, Ji Yuan took the identity Feng Jiuxiao and set out with Long Yun, but he rushed toward a nearby battle and found Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli dead.
• Ying Ning claimed Bai Yuan and Cai Yuli had killed each other, then told Ji Yuan that Ekun had died in a fight with She Qing and that Yu Qing had been killed by Ekun’s exploding Demon Core.

Ji Yuan learned that Ying Ning had obtained a Kun Ruins entry token and invited him to seek the Demon Deity’s hidden legacy with her. He accepted, and Ying Ning revealed that the Fountain of Life he wanted lay beneath a sacred parasol tree guarded by the Azure Phoenix Clan.

• Ying Ning claimed Yu Qing had died in Ekun’s self-detonation, but Ji Yuan suspected Ying Ning was connected to the deaths of Yu Qing, Bai Yuan, and Cai Yuli.
• Ying Ning gave Ji Yuan a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood, then admitted she wanted his help after he tried to leave.
• Ying Ning revealed that the Kun Ruins, a secret realm containing part of the Demon Deity’s legacy, would open in several decades and showed Ji Yuan two Kun Hide entry tokens.
• Ying Ning persuaded Ji Yuan to join her expedition; he took the second token and agreed to seek allies before the realm opened.
• Ji Yuan asked where to find Xuanhuang Pure Soil and the Fountain of Life, and Ying Ning said a Fountain of Life lay beneath an ancient parasol tree guarded by the Azure Phoenix Clan in the Southern Demonlands.

Ji Yuan and Ying Ning traveled to the Azure Luan Tribe seeking the Fountain of Life, but their attempt to uncover the tribe’s secret dealings with the Purple-Eyed Clan got them expelled. With Ying Ning searching for Xuanhuang Pure Soil, Ji Yuan returned disguised as a Phoenix Clan envoy to obtain the Fountain of Life; the chapter ended with the guards bowing to him.

• Ji Yuan and Ying Ning reached the Azure Luan Tribe and learned that Purple-Eyed Clan envoys were visiting under unusually strict security.
• Ying Ning used a secret treasure to eavesdrop and heard the Purple-Eyed Clan demand every last drop of the Azure Luan Tribe’s Fountain of Life.
• Azure Feather caught Ji Yuan and Ying Ning spying, condemned Ying Ning’s clan, and ordered the pair to leave the tribe.
• Ji Yuan and Ying Ning agreed to split up: he would seek the Fountain of Life while she searched for the Xuanhuang Pure Soil.
• Dong Qian advised Ji Yuan to pose as a Phoenix Clan envoy, and Ji Yuan confirmed the plan with a supremely auspicious divination.
• Ji Yuan returned to the Azure Luan Tribe as Feng Jiuxiao, riding Long Yun, and the guards fell to their knees in greeting.

Ji Yuan entered the Azure Luan Tribe posing as the Phoenix Clan lord Feng Jiuxiao and confronted its elders over their dealings with the Purple-Eyed Clan. He secured two catties of Fountain of Life in exchange for keeping the secret, then learned the Purple-Eyed Clan wanted it to reconstruct a body.

• Ji Yuan rode Long Yun into the Azure Luan Tribe, brushed aside Azure Feather, and was escorted by Qing Mei and Qing Huayun while the tribe claimed its ancestor was attempting a breakthrough.
• Ji Yuan introduced himself as Feng Jiuxiao and asked about Kun Ruins, then revealed that he knew the Azure Luan Clan had struck a deal with the Purple-Eyed Clan.
• Ji Yuan said the Phoenix Clan did not yet know about the deal and demanded Fountain of Life, prompting Qing Huayun to bring him eight taels.
• Ji Yuan refused the small offering and rejected a meeting with the Purple-Eyed Clan cultivator, so Qing Huayun negotiated for more and returned with enough Fountain of Life to bring the total to two catties.
• Ji Yuan agreed not to report the deal to the Phoenix Clan, and Qing Huayun explained that the Purple-Eyed Clan wanted the Fountain of Life to reconstruct a body.

Ji Yuan met Feng Xian, a young Phoenix Clan cultivator, and convinced him that he was Feng Jiuxiao, a member of the clan. After Feng Xian sought the Azure Luan Clan’s aid against Nine Nether Fire Phoenix remnants, Ji Yuan joined the expedition to the Netherfrost Abyss, where Qing Huayun spotted the remnants attempting to escape.

• Ji Yuan learned that the Purple-Eyed Clan had bought eight jin of Fountain of Life to restore the body of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator whose Primordial Spirit had survived the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
• Feng Xian arrived at the Azure Luan Clan, and Ji Yuan introduced himself as Feng Jiuxiao, persuading Feng Xian and the Azure Luan elders to accept his identity.
• Feng Xian revealed that he had found a Nine Nether Fire Phoenix hideout and asked the Azure Luan Clan for reinforcements; Ji Yuan joined the planned attack because he needed Nine Nether Fire Phoenix corpses for his Spirit Field.
• Qing Huayun led Ji Yuan, Feng Xian, and a force of Azure Luan cultivators to the Netherfrost Abyss, where he sensed the remnants trying to escape.

Ji Yuan uncovered signs that the Azure Luan Clan was secretly protecting Nine Nether Fire Phoenixes, then escaped without being pursued. After receiving Ying Ning’s message about the Xuanhuang Pure Soil, he headed for Ripplewater City, where Mei Zhuang decided to fake his death and leave his tribe after completing a mission to obtain a Secret of Spirit Transformation.

• Qing Huayun and Qing Mei led the Azure Luan Clan’s attack on the Netherfrost Abyss, where Ji Yuan found eighteen Nine Nether Fire Phoenixes and sensed something hidden beneath the abyss.
• Ji Yuan took two middle Fifth Tier Nine Nether Fire Phoenix corpses, while Feng Xian ordered the rest gathered; Qing Huayun then burned the Netherfrost Abyss.
• Ji Yuan told Dong Qian that the Azure Luan Clan was likely colluding with hidden Nine Nether Fire Phoenixes, and he waited half a month before emerging as Long Chuan.
• Ying Ning told Long Chuan to meet her in Ripplewater City because she had news of the Xuanhuang Pure Soil, and Ji Yuan set off to join her.
• Mei Zhuang complained to Lu Yingying that his tribe had denied him a chance at the Secret of Spirit Transformation, then decided to fake his death and leave after completing his mission.

Ji Yuan upgraded [Spirit Vein] to Level Six, causing a spiritual energy surge that drew demon beasts to the surrounding mountains. He then left Ripplewater City with Ying Ning to pursue the Xuanhuang Pure Soil, while Mei Zhuang and Lu Yingying prepared to leave the Demon God Continent after their job.

• Ji Yuan met Ying Ning in Ripplewater City, learned that the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe would sell its Xuanhuang Pure Soil to the Six-Winged Flying Ant Tribe in a month, and heard that a Dream Demon Spider ancestor would help seize it.
• Ji Yuan sold Nine-Yang Lifebuilding Brew, gathered the resources for upgrading [Spirit Vein], and left the city to perform the upgrade inside Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain.
• [Spirit Vein] grew across the second, third, and fourth floors, reached Level Six, and caused a surge of spiritual energy that attracted demon beasts to the nearby mountain range.
• Ji Yuan returned to Ripplewater City through a Teleportation Formation, examined the Level Six Spirit Effects, and later left the city with Ying Ning.
• Mei Zhuang told Lu Yingying that they had to leave the Demon God Continent after completing their job.

Qing Huayun reassured Qing Mei and Azure Feather that the Azure Luan Clan could conceal its Fountain of Life trade with the Purple-Eyed Clan by using its hidden reserves. Meanwhile, Ji Yuan pursued the secret Xuanhuang Pure Soil transaction and, after reaching the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe, discovered that Zi Shan was also human.

• Qing Huayun showed Qing Mei and Azure Feather the six jin of Fountain of Life kept beneath the Ten-Thousand-Year Parasol Tree and explained how the clan could deny selling it to the Purple-Eyed Clan.
• Ji Yuan and Ying Ning met Dream Demon Ancestor, who revealed that he had tracked groups of demons leaving the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe to find the real transaction site.
• Ying Ning told Ji Yuan she had found the transaction site, then screamed that the Six-Winged Flying Ant was pursuing her and stopped responding.
• Ji Yuan found Dream Demon Ancestor confronting the Drill-Ground Rat and Six-Winged Flying Ant ancestors, while Dream Butterfly reported that Fourth Tier members were conducting the trade inside the tribe.
• Ji Yuan hurried back to the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe, where he encountered Zi Shan and saw through his disguise with the Truth-Piercing Divine Eye, discovering that he was human.
