After decades of cultivating ten-thousand-year Dragon Blood Grass with Han Li’s help, Zhou Yi consumed thousands of plants to transform his bloodline.

• He Qiu arrived at Void Sky Hall, found Han Li, and revealed that he was Ancestor Chiming’s disciple.

• He Qiu emerged later with the Snake Demon strengthened, refused its suggestion to ambush cultivators for Spirit Medicine, and hurried toward the second trial.

The convoy advanced into the mine, where they found that its copper ore had mutated into First Order Red Copper.

• Huang Zixuan and the Huang Family expedition approached Mine No. 9, and she asked Huang Shang to bring gifts for Protector Zhao.

Zhou Yi expanded the Kunlun Sect’s reach by refining thirty-six Puppet Clones and dispatching them across Blue Star. With the second spiritual energy eruption approaching, he resolved to stay hidden until he could withstand the heavenly tribulation.

• As the second spiritual energy eruption drew near, Zhou Yi chose to remain hidden until reaching Qi Refining to Deity Transformation.

• Gu Yu and Jiang Xiaozhai discussed Kunlun's interest in the Zhongnan Mountains and the need to avoid conflict with the authorities.
• Jiang Xiaozhai spotted a military unit, and Gu Yu approached its commander, Du Sanpeng, to clarify their purposes.
• Du Sanpeng told Gu Yu that both sides had orders to rely on their own abilities and avoid conflict, so they went their separate ways.
• Zhou Yi used the Minor Arcane Divine Calculation to identify Blessed Lands as the main sources of opportunity and recalled his Puppet Clones from neighboring countries.
• Zhou Yi scattered his Puppet Clones across the Great Dynasty's Blessed Lands, where they used Illusionary Maze Arrays to keep other treasure hunters out.
• Zhou Yi decided to occupy thirty percent of the one hundred and eight Blessed Lands and wait for the spiritual energy eruption.

Daytime stars poured spiritual energy onto Blue Star, transforming its mountains and lands as Zhou Yi, Du Sanpeng, Gu Yu, and Jiang Xiaozhai responded to the upheaval. After the starlight faded, more than a dozen strange meteors fell, and Zhou Yi watched one land in Southwest Province.

• Du Sanpeng’s squad fought off a demon horde while trapped in a mountain hollow, and Du Sanpeng set a timed bomb as their ammunition ran low.
• Gu Yu and Jiang Xiaozhai arrived, and Du Sanpeng threw them the Purple Thunder Pattern Stone Egg before sacrificing himself to destroy the Crow Demon with the bomb.
• Gu Yu and Jiang Xiaozhai killed the remaining demons, and Shi Lei asked them to deliver the stone egg to the Investigation Bureau.
• Jiang Xiaozhai touched the stone egg, whose lightning surged into her body and began breaking through her meridians.
• Gu Yu gave Jiang Xiaozhai a Foundation Establishment Pill, and she opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and advanced into the Innate Realm.

Jiang Xiaozhai entered the Innate Realm, and Gu Yu settled the accidental destruction of the Spiritual Object with Shi Lei by offering the Golden Grass. Elsewhere, Zhou Yi captured Kucha, a reincarnated Three Tribulation True Immortal from the Spirit Realm, and learned why he had come to this world and how world travel worked.

• Jiang Xiaozhai demonstrated her new Innate strength, while Gu Yu offered Shi Lei the Golden Grass as compensation for the destroyed Spiritual Object.
• Zhou Yi searched Wuliang Mountain for a fallen object but found Kucha, a Tea Tree Demon, cultivating in the forest.
• Kucha fled, but Zhou Yi trapped him in ice and subdued him with Five Elements Tribulation Lightning.
• Zhou Yi forced Kucha to reveal that he had reincarnated from the Spirit Realm to pursue immortality after Thorn Ridge’s four Earth Immortal patriarchs foretold this world’s Spiritual Energy revival.
• Kucha told Zhou Yi that other True Immortals had likely reincarnated too and explained that crossing between worlds required a world marker and the power to shatter the void.

Zhou Yi killed Daoist Kucha after learning the Simplicity Wood Heaven-Reaching Scripture was not the True Immortal inheritance Kucha had claimed. He created the Enlightenment Tea Garden from the transformed tea trees and left for Kunlun Mountain, determined to advance quickly before more reincarnated True Immortals rose to power.

• Zhou Yi memorized the Simplicity Wood Heaven-Reaching Scripture and used the Gateway to Myriad Wonders to identify it as a sixth-rank technique.
• After Zhou Yi exposed Kucha's deception, Kucha destroyed Zhou Yi's apparent body with Simplicity Wood Divine Lightning, but Zhou Yi revealed it was a Puppet Clone and trapped Kucha in a storm of lightning.
• Kucha offered Zhou Yi secret arts and hidden treasures, but Zhou Yi feigned interest, then destroyed Kucha's divine soul and True Immortal origin.
• The tea trees at Wuliang Mountain absorbed Kucha's radiance and transformed, so Zhou Yi named the place the Enlightenment Tea Garden and concealed it with an Illusionary Maze Array.
• Zhou Yi flew toward Kunlun Mountain, resolving to overcome the heavenly tribulation and reach Qi Refining to Deity Transformation as soon as possible.

• Fangfei took the surname Zhou and the name Fangfei, and Zhou Yi named her his chief disciple and Duan Houdao his second disciple.

Zhou Yi completed the Kunlun Sect’s Five Elements Grand Array, arranged for Zhou Fangfei to oversee the sect, and postponed its founding until he had prepared for his heavenly tribulation. After traveling to the Chaotic Star Sea, he reviewed decades of developments and began refining powerful spiritual veins to strengthen his demon body.
