• Gu Sheng powered the formation with his true energy, and the group was transported from the ruins to a tranquil land filled with spiritual energy and rare herbs.

In Great Desolation City, the Heavenly Star Saintess dismissed the Eastern Wasteland’s talent and mocked Gu Sheng before a vast pillar of crimson-gold flames erupted near the arena.

• Gu Sheng's group reached the ancient palace complex that Shen Qingtian believed held the secret realm's core and clues to the Divine Craftsman Inheritance.
• Gu Sheng sensed fresh spiritual traces left within the past half hour, prompting the others to question how anyone could have entered the sealed secret realm.

Gu Sheng and Miss Tantai used Unity of Spirit to uncover signs that an unknown outsider had entered the hidden hall, then led their group inside. They found the hall ransacked and encountered three Sacred Land disciples searching for a target, while Qin Yurou’s Treasure Seeking Mouse behaved strangely by sleeping instead of sensing treasure.

• Gu Sheng detected concealed spiritual traces and used Unity of Spirit with Miss Tantai, who sensed a strange aura and remnants of a spiritual barrier.
• Gu Sheng warned the group, broke the barrier with his spiritual power, and led everyone to the main hall.

• Gu Sheng and the others opened the hall doors and found signs that its contents had been forcibly searched and removed.
• Qin Yurou noticed that Little White, her Treasure Seeking Mouse, was asleep despite having been excited to enter the hall during their previous visit.

As the group reached its source, a third-level Venerable Realm man and two companions appeared, and Gu Sheng shielded the women from his pressure before demanding to know who he was.

• Gu Sheng concluded that an organized faction, likely from a Holy Land, had stripped the core region of its treasures, and Miss Tantai revealed she could summon Saint Realm incarnations but agreed not to use them yet.
• Little White suddenly sensed a peerless treasure, so Gu Sheng gave Qin Yurou and Shen Qingtian Great Teleportation Ancient Talismans as an escape measure.
• Following Little White to a ruined side hall, the group found the treasure's aura concealed by a powerful restriction.
• Before Miss Tantai could raise a barrier, a tall, burly third-level Venerable Realm man appeared with two companions and threatened to spare only one of the five.
• Gu Sheng protected the four women by resisting the man's pressure with a pale golden barrier, then asked the stranger who he was and why he had entered the secret realm.

• The cloaked woman tried to charm Gu Sheng, but he broke her influence with his spiritual power and Fatekeeper Dao resonance.
• Gu Sheng summoned the North Star God Slaying Sword and met Bone Chi’s renewed pressure with overwhelming golden blood energy.
• Bone Chi used his ghost-headed saber and the Saint Realm Ultimate Skill Purple Emperor Devours Heaven Slash against Gu Sheng.
• The clash threw Miss Tantai and the other three women into a wall, but Gu Sheng remained standing as Bone Chi’s saber failed to pierce his body.
• As Bone Chi recovered from his shock, Gu Sheng vanished and swept his sword toward Bone Chi’s neck from behind.

Gu Sheng wounded Bone Chi and Tantai Xue Li invoked her family’s Saint Realm incarnation to halt the Sacred Lands’ attempt to claim the hidden region.

• Gu Sheng disrupted Bone Chi’s attack and slit his throat, prompting Bone Chi to reach for a Saint Realm jade talisman.
• Tantai Xue Li identified herself as a direct-line member of the Tantai Family and threatened to summon its Saint Realm power, then disputed the Sacred Lands’ claim to the hidden region.

• Gu Sheng suggested calling Senior Mingjing to negotiate, and he and Tantai Xue Li detected Yuwen Ruo’s concealed barriers.
• Tantai Xue Li shattered her incarnation pearl, summoning Tantai Mingjing, who demanded that Yuwen Ruo call out the person behind him.
• Yuwen Ruo crushed a black jade pendant, summoning an elderly Saint Realm figure who emerged and faced Tantai Mingjing.

Tantai Mingjing returned with Yuwen Ku and declared that the Tantai Family would avoid conflict with the three Sacred Lands in the secret realm, forcing Xue Li to accept the order. She then secretly asked Gu Sheng to obtain the object the Sacred Lands sought, offering to unconditionally do one thing for him in return.

• Tantai Mingjing and Yuwen Ku left the hall, while Mei Qi confronted Gu Sheng over his criticism of her seduction art and his knowledge of Yu Liuli.
• Gu Sheng invoked Xue Li and Tantai Ancestor's backing, and Mei Qi put away her Sacred Realm mirror but threatened to report him to her sect.

• Tantai Mingjing ordered Xue Li to comply, and Xue Li reluctantly agreed not to clash with the three Sacred Lands.
• Tantai Mingjing privately told Gu Sheng that her family needed the object the three Sacred Lands sought and offered him one unconditional favor if he obtained it.

Gu Sheng accepted Tantai Mingjing’s bargain to seek a space-and-creation treasure, while the three Sacred Lands pursued their own objectives in the secret realm. After the Tantai Family arranged resources to keep Gu Sheng’s dying acquaintance alive, Gu Sheng led his companions away from the ruined hall and secretly shielded them from surveillance.

• Gu Sheng bargained with Tantai Mingjing for three promises if he obtained the hidden treasure, or one if he kept it from the three Sacred Lands, and then accepted her terms.

• Yun Gucheng privately made a request of Tantai Bingyu, who said she would pass it on to her sister, Tantai Mingjing.
• Back in the ruined hall, Yuwen Ruo and Mei Qi told Gu Sheng and the Tantai group not to obstruct the Sacred Lands, and Gu Sheng led his companions away.
• When Shen Qingtian began to question their retreat, Gu Sheng silenced her and raised a barrier that blocked sound and spiritual surveillance before addressing the group.

Gu Sheng learned that Tantai Mingjing wanted the secret realm’s treasure, which was tied to space and creation, and set out for it when it awakened. Bone Chi intercepted him at Yuwen Ruo’s command, and Gu Sheng faced a killing-intent attack as the contest among the younger fighters began.

• Gu Sheng told Miss Tantai and the others about Tantai Mingjing’s offer of rewards if he secured the treasure or kept it from the three Sacred Lands.
• Miss Tantai offered Gu Sheng an ancestor’s protective jade pendant, but he returned it and urged her to keep it for herself and the others.
• Miss Tantai arranged for Gu Ningshuang, Shen Qingtian, and Qin Yurou to cultivate and watch the flower sea, while Gu Sheng gave Gu Ningshuang a small sword containing Ju Que Holy Lord’s sword insights.
• A brilliant radiance erupted from the secret realm’s central ruined hall, and Gu Sheng recognized it as the treasure connected to space and creation before racing toward it.
• Yuwen Ruo, Mei Qi, and Bone Chi also headed for the hall, and Yuwen Ruo ordered Bone Chi to kill Gu Sheng while the Saint Realm experts were occupied.
• Bone Chi intercepted Gu Sheng and unleashed Blood Prison Killing Intent Slash as Gu Sheng tried to break through with his speed.

Gu Sheng resisted Bone Chi’s killing-intent Dao essence with his blood and qi, but Bone Chi drew on the Saint-grade divine weapon Erosion Star and pierced him twice. As Bone Chi prepared another attack, Gu Sheng secretly awakened Qin Ling'er and remained intent on reaching the treasure above the ruined main hall.

• Gu Sheng used his blood and qi, strengthened by his Dao essences, to resist Bone Chi’s killing-intent blade lights and close in on him.
• Bone Chi summoned the Saint-grade divine weapon Erosion Star, transformed himself with the ghost-headed saber’s blood fiend energy, and fired three arrows at Gu Sheng.
• Gu Sheng dodged two arrows, but the third pierced his shoulder; he healed most of the wound with the Longevity Dao essence and his blood and qi.
• Bone Chi fired another volley, and an arrow pierced Gu Sheng’s chest near his heart.
• Gu Sheng secretly awakened Qin Ling'er and told her he needed her help, while keeping his attention on the treasure above the ruined main hall.
• Bone Chi threatened to kill Gu Sheng and claimed Tantai Mingjing was being restrained by his ancestor.

Gu Sheng fought Bone Chi while Yuwen Ruo and Mei Qi reached the Innate Spirit Embryo and tried to claim it. Qin Ling'er appeared, revealed her connection to the Spirit Race, and froze Yuwen Ruo and Mei Qi in place with an overwhelming power.

• Gu Sheng endured Bone Chi's relentless blood-arrow attacks and remained unable to break through toward the main hall.
• Yuwen Ruo used an ancient Saint Emperor seal to suppress the Innate Spirit Embryo, revealing its infant-like form, and Mei Qi moved to collect it.
• Qin Ling'er appeared between Mei Qi and the Spirit Embryo, explained that its divine soul had been erased, and asked them to give it to her.
• Yuwen Ruo attacked Qin Ling'er with spiritual spears, but they passed through her because she had no sea of consciousness.
• Yuwen Ruo summoned the Spirit Gu Bell and ordered an attack, but Qin Ling'er gathered crystalline motes that froze Yuwen Ruo and Mei Qi's consciousness and left them unable to move.
