Qin Hao and Yun Chang waited with the other cultivators for the Heaven and Earth Divine Spring Water to appear, while Qin Hao dismissed the threat posed by the Yan Family members nearby.

Qin Hao and Yun Chang planned to compete for the Golden Spring Water rather than the lesser springs, despite Ouyang Feng warning them about the danger. As they waited, the divine spring produced more pale red water, drawing the attention of cultivators seeking to advance.

Yan Linhan ordered the Yan Family Disciples to use poison or other ruthless tactics to seize more spring water, while cultivators who drank their gains began breaking through.

• Nearly a hundred eternal true gods from the three factions fought over the sixteen drops of Light Red Spring Water, and the Qiankun Continent faction claimed seven, the Immortal Thunder Continent faction five, and the Golden Palace Continent faction three.
• Four Yan Family Disciples presented their drops to Yan Linhan, who berated them for bringing back only four and threatened them with death if they failed to seize more.

• Ding Qing eagerly pursued the Red Spring Water, hoping to earn enough merit to rise within the Yan Family.
• Ding Qing reflected on how the Yan Family gave him meager resources and treated him like a slave, and resolved to advance until he became an Ancestral God elder.

• Cao Yu recognized that Yun Chang’s spatial abilities surpassed Ding Qing’s and chose to fight rather than flee.
• Yun Chang enveloped Cao Yu with Star Rotation Shift, teleported him into a series of staff blows, and killed him.

As the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake boiled, Qin Hao and the other experts prepared to fight for the emerging Golden Spring Water. The Yan Family readied a formation and teleportation plan, leaving them confident they could claim most of the spring water once it appeared.

• Qin Hao decided he needed Golden Spring Water because Scarlet Spring Water no longer meaningfully improved his cultivation, while Ouyang Feng coordinated an alliance to support whoever had the best chance of obtaining it.
• Du Can gave an Illusion Formation to a Nine Heavens Tower expert, and the Immortal Thunder Continent group exchanged resources to strengthen their chances.
• Yan Xing and the other Yan Family Core Disciples studied the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, which could theoretically withstand one ancestral god's attack.
• Yan Linhan gave the Yan Family Core Disciples Teleportation Talismans and ordered them to teleport above the lake and set up the formation as soon as the Golden Spring Water appeared.
• The Yan Family Core Disciples grew confident that their plan could help them monopolize most of the Golden Spring Water and potentially advance to the Ancestral God Realm.

Yan Linhan assigned Yan Xing to collect Golden Spring Water while the other Yan Family disciples formed a barrier. When the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake erupted, the Yan Family seized the central area and enclosed most of it with the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.

• Yan Linhan reassured Yan Xing that he would not join the formation because he would collect Golden Spring Water from the surrounding areas.

• Yan Linhan and eighteen Yan Family disciples raised the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, enclosing at least two-thirds of the lake's core area.

Yan Linhan used the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation to seal off the core of the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake and monopolize the erupting Golden Spring Water. Qin Hao and the others could not break through from outside, while Yan Linhan’s disciples killed the two outsiders trapped inside the formation.

• Nineteen Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts activated the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, trapping cultivators outside the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake’s core.
• Qin Hao, Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Du Can, and others attacked the formation but could not shake its defenses or stop Yan Linhan from collecting the Golden Spring Water.
• Ouyang Feng and Zhang Jiuming explained that the formation might eventually collapse if Yan Linhan could no longer sustain it against the lake’s divine spring power.
• Two Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts inside the formation tried to escape, but Yan Linhan ordered his disciples to attack them with the formation.
• The formation’s strike killed both outsiders, leaving only Yan Family Core Disciples in the lake’s core region.

Yan Linhan kept the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation closed around the Golden Spring Water while Yan Xing began collecting it, drawing furious attacks from the cultivators outside. Qin Hao sensed that the formation was weakening under their assault but remained far from breaking, and he continued attacking while watching for a chance to claim the water.

• Yan Linhan's formation killed two Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts, prompting Du Can, Tang Yifei, Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and others to condemn him and attack the barrier.
• Yan Linhan dismissed the objections and ordered Yan Xing to collect the five drops of Golden Spring Water inside the formation.

• Yan Xing collected the first drop of Golden Spring Water, and the cultivators outside grew frenzied at the sight.

Yan Xing collected the Golden Spring Water inside Yan Linhan’s formation while the furious crowd attacked it from outside. After spotting Qin Hao, Yan Xing decided to kill him and struck at him without turning away from the fourth drop.

• Yan Xing collected three drops of Golden Spring Water and headed for the fourth as the crowd continued attacking the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.
• Yan Xing hoped the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake would produce more Golden Spring Water, then recalled Yun Chang had taken more than ten drops of Scarlet Spring Water.
• Yan Xing spotted Qin Hao striking the formation and remembered Yan Linhan had told him to deal with Qin Hao.
• Yan Xing decided to kill Qin Hao before Yun Chang, swung his Treasure Saber at Qin Hao, and reached for the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water.

As Yan Xing attacked Qin Hao from inside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, Qin Hao exploited a brief gap to steal the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water through his self-world. He blocked Yan Xing’s strike and emerged with the drop, drawing the attention of the cultivators outside the formation.

• The cultivators outside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation angrily attacked it, lamenting that they could not reach the Golden Spring Water Yan Xing was collecting.
• Yan Xing sent a sudden Blade Light through the formation toward Qin Hao, briefly opening a gap in its defenses.
• Qin Hao used his self-world to send his Left Hand through the gap and seize the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water before Yan Xing could take it.
• Yan Xing realized the Golden Spring Water had vanished and erupted in fury as Qin Hao blocked his Blade Light with his Treasure Sword.
• A nearby eternal true god at great accomplishment spotted the drop in Qin Hao’s hand and shouted that Qin Hao had stolen Golden Spring Water from inside the formation.

Qin Hao obtained a drop of Golden Spring Water outside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, prompting nearby experts to abandon their siege and rush to seize it. Ouyang Feng and the others hurried to protect him as the battle for the drop began.

• Qin Hao's Golden Spring Water drew a nearby eternal true god great accomplishment expert into an attack, hoping to kill him and take the drop.
• Hundreds of eternal true gods noticed Qin Hao and charged toward him, believing the drop could help them break through.
• Du Can recognized that Qin Hao had seized the fourth drop after Yan Xing attacked from inside the formation, then changed course to pursue him.
