• Golden Horn and Silver Horn reported that Amitabha Buddha had blocked Tusita Palace and Daoist Zhunti was waiting at the Demon Emperor Hall, leaving Meng Qi with few paths to safety.
• Meng Chuan urged Meng Qi to move his history into the Nine Netherworlds, but Meng Qi refused to abandon him and hide there alone.

• Sun Wukong appeared in the Nine Netherworlds and asked to borrow the Absolute Blade, which Meng Qi gave him so he could fight Wusheng Laomu.

The battle in the Nine Netherworlds grew more chaotic as Yang Jian revealed himself and Wusheng Laomu brought out the Heaven-Slaying Axe. When the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable turned on Meng Qi, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven left Meng Chuan to face him, while Qi Zhengyan hesitated with the Demon Emperor Claw.

• The Dark Nether Ghost Emperor attacked Zhen Yuanzi to protect his place in the Nine Netherworlds, while the Black Heavenly Emperor moved to kill Meng Qi.

• The Great Sage Equal to Heaven left Meng Chuan the Absolute Blade and blocked the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable, while Qi Zhengyan held back from using the Demon Emperor Claw.

Meng Chuan escalated his power against Wusheng Laomu, truly fell into darkness to wield the Demon Emperor Claw, and helped Gu Xiaosang uncover a way to disrupt the battle. As Gu Xiaosang drew Donghuang's Flesh and the Boundless Chaos Dao from Meng Qi, Meng Chuan struck at Heaven with his full strength.

• Meng Chuan used the Absolute Blade to attack Wusheng Laomu but found himself outmatched by her Heaven-Slaying Axe.
• Yuan and Tai underwent Ultimate Sublimation and lent their power to Meng Chuan, raising him to the Five-in-One Supreme Form.

• Gu Xiaosang realized she held a key to breaking the deadlock and drew Donghuang's Flesh and the Boundless Chaos Dao from Meng Qi into herself.
• Gu Xiaosang's action made the full moon falter and weakened the Heaven-Slaying Axe, so Meng Chuan attacked Heaven with five streams of pseudo-supreme power and two revived Other Shore Divine Weapons.

Meng Chuan exploited Gu Xiaosang’s influence on Wusheng Laomu to wound her and restore the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable’s reason, giving his side a slight advantage. Wusheng Laomu offered to spare Meng Qi’s friends and family if Meng Chuan handed over the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Guang Chengzi and the other Yuxu Immortals agreed to give Wusheng Laomu the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords in exchange for their lives and the safety of Meng Qi’s friends and family.

• Meng Chuan and Yang Jian led Meng Qi and the others deeper into the Nine Netherworlds, where they would stay for a while.

As Gu Xiaosang and Yang Jian wondered at his strength, Meng Qi credited it to his son having the makings of a Dao Fruit, drawing an angry shout from Meng Chuan.

• Meng Qi recovered his faculties after Meng Chuan, Gu Xiaosang, and Yang Jian dealt with Donghuang’s Flesh inside him.
• Meng Chuan explained that he had been unable to overcome the Golden Emperor without Gu Xiaosang’s help, while Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang would need a century or two to refine Donghuang’s Flesh.

• Meng Chuan recognized that the Golden Emperor had committed to killing him but remained confident he could escape without the true Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

After the Golden Emperor attacked Meng Chuan with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the Taiji Diagram protected him and forced her to retreat. Meng Chuan wondered whether they shared an unknown karmic tie, made arrangements to protect his friends, and spoke with True Martial about his abandoned attempt to Reach the Shore.

• True Martial admitted some regret but said he would have failed, and thanked Meng Chuan for warning him against forcing his way to the Other Shore with the Yuanyang Ruler.

After returning to the Dao Realm, Meng Chuan studied the complete Seven Swords of Heaven-Cutting and investigated whether the Golden Emperor was connected to the Villain Chat Group. He warned the group about his suspicions, leaving Meng Qi deeply anxious about the danger she might pose.

• Meng Chuan returned from Lifetime World, gave Meng Qi the Absolute Blade, and began studying the complete Seven Swords of Heaven-Cutting.
• Meng Chuan asked the Chat Group whether it had detected the Golden Emperor as a Villain Chat Group member, and it said no but could not rule out other ties.
• Meng Chuan shared his suspicions about the Golden Emperor with the group and urged everyone to stay alert.

• Meng Qi feared the Golden Emperor could discover his connection to the Chat Group and attack him in the Nine Netherworlds.

After surviving the Golden Emperor’s ambush, Meng Chuan resolved to become an Immortal Emperor and hurried to the Heavens to handle urgent business. Ye Fan mistakenly suspected he was meeting Luo, while Meng Chuan arrived to find Luo already waiting.

• Meng Chuan reflected that his caution and borrowed Taiji Diagram had saved him from the Golden Emperor’s attack, then vowed to become an Immortal Emperor as soon as possible.

• Meng Chuan used Luo’s token to reach the Heavens, where Luo was waiting for him.

Meng Chuan repaid Luo for his past help by offering him two Great Dao Golden Cores, rare elixirs capable of healing Immortal Emperors. Luo reluctantly accepted them so that he and Meng Hai could recover and help defend the Heavens.

• Luo asked Meng Chuan why he had returned to the Heavens, and Meng Chuan said he had come to repay Luo's kindness.

• Meng Chuan insisted that the Golden Cores were a fitting repayment and that Luo and Meng Hai's recovery would help protect the Heavens.
• Luo accepted the Golden Cores, though he sighed that he and Meng Hai hardly deserved them.

Luo introduced Meng Chuan to Meng Hai, who accepted a Great Dao Golden Core and promised to help him in return. Luo also gave Meng Chuan a rootlet from the destroyed Pollen Path Ancestral Root, and Meng Chuan left with the two Immortal Emperors as allies and considered using them as coordinates for the future.

• Luo woke Meng Hai and introduced him to Meng Chuan, and the two exchanged warm greetings.
• Luo explained that Meng Chuan had given them Great Dao Golden Cores, and Meng Hai accepted one and promised that he and Luo would help Meng Chuan if he asked.

• After discussing the future with Luo and Meng Hai, Meng Chuan considered using the two Immortal Emperors as coordinates because they appeared in nearly every possible future.

Meng Chuan returned to the Dao Realm after leaving Luo and Meng Hai to refine their Great Dao Golden Cores, then mastered the true intent of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Cutting and began studying the Pollen Path Evolution Method. He concluded that understanding the Pollen Path would be essential to forging his future Lingbao Body, though his journey into the future might bring trouble.

• Luo and Meng Hai went into seclusion to refine the Great Dao Golden Cores, and Meng Chuan returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Nights Universe.

• After reaching the limit of what his realm could understand about the Seven Swords, Meng Chuan began studying the Pollen Path Evolution Method and its Breathing Methods.
• Meng Chuan realized that he needed to understand the Pollen Path to forge a powerful Lingbao Body, and he started deriving a Breathing Method of his own.
