• The spectators recognized Zhang Yuan as the victor after Wenren Shangzhi was sent back to the South Sea and Deng Qiuzhi and Lu Danyan fled.

• Chi Guanguan told Zhang Yuan she could share her deductions and predicted that his next opponent would likely be a South Sea Dragon Lord’s incarnation.
• Chi Guanguan explained that powerful beings had long sent down high-level incarnations to suppress rivals, and Zhang Yuan complained that this still amounted to bullying the weak with the strong.

After Zhang Yuan defeated Wenren Shangzhi, Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper seized and plundered him before the South Sea Dragon Lords could intervene. The Dragon Lords acknowledged Zhang Yuan was too powerful to capture by ordinary means, and the black-robed Dragon Lord proposed sending an Immortal Lord-level Incarnation to deal with him.

• Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper tore away much of Wenren Shangzhi’s vitality and Conceptual Images, refined them into treasure pills, and escaped Dragon Lord Vast Sun Against the Light’s grasp.

Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper dropped the Vairocana Divine Hall into the Buddha Kingdom, where it drew the attention of greedy cultivators. Zhang Yuan tried to leave rather than fight for it, but Ye Xiangning restrained him and insisted that Deng La Er would act; the chapter ended with a purple-robed old Daoist claiming the treasure as a Buddhist monk.

• Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper dropped a sun-like sphere into the Buddha Kingdom, and it manifested as the Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure Vairocana Divine Hall.
• Ye Xiangning explained that the Nine Serenities Lu Clan had seized the treasure from the Shared-Sorrow Lotus Realm, while Zhang Yuan decided it was not worth pursuing.

• A purple-robed old Daoist declared himself a Buddhist monk chosen by the Buddha and drove off two early-stage cultivators with his celestial person perfection strength.

When the Seeking Truth Canon appeared, the cultivators were divided into rival camps and challenged to reach the hall’s summit, and Zhang Yuan agreed to give Qin Tianyi the canon if he won it.

• Deng Qiuzhi explained that the Vairocana Divine Hall’s Solar Yang had transformed into Great Yin, while Zhang Yuan recognized that True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns had secretly driven the change.

• The cultivators were divided between the sides of Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper and True Lord Rainbow-Haloed Rosy Clouds, but could not identify one another’s allegiance as they formed cautious alliances.
• Qin Tianyi confirmed that he served under True Lord Rainbow-Haloed Rosy Clouds and asked Zhang Yuan to share the Seeking Truth Canon if he reached the summit first.
• Zhang Yuan offered Qin Tianyi the canon itself, saying it would be of little use to his own cultivation.

• Zhang Yuan reached the roof and seized the Great Yin Spirit Qi and the Seeking Truth Canon.

After reaching the summit of the Demon King Sun-Eroding Divine Hall, Zhang Yuan defeated Lu Danyan’s karmic Slaughter Divine Ability and gathered his companions to leave the Buddha Kingdom. He found Xu Lingyin winning a contest for heavenly gang and earthly sha, and she killed an arrogant opponent before he could intervene.

• Lu Danyan attacked Zhang Yuan with Nail Head, Nail Heart, Nail Soul Nails, but Zhang Yuan split and then destroyed the nails with his sword qi and Three-Colored Qi Light.

• Xu Lingyin killed a sixth-turn qi refining Perfected Person with one sword thrust while competing for a strand of heavenly gang and earthly sha.

Zhang Yuan gathered three more heavenly gang and earthly sha for Xu Lingyin, then returned to the Golden Carriage with the others. As Immortal Lord Liujing described her treasures, she wondered what she had forgotten.

• Zhang Yuan judged Xu Lingyin's two earthly sha insufficient and used his Divine Sense to collect the [heaven-hiding sha], [eight sufferings sha], and [calamity-relieving heavenly gang] for her.
• Xu Lingyin teased Zhang Yuan by asking whether she should wear the transparent gauze and visit him that night, and he told her to refine the sha and break through to sixth-turn qi refining instead.

• Cui Yuanxi recounted obtaining a strand of ren water, while Immortal Lord Liujing revealed that she had acquired one Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure and two Pre-Heaven True Treasures.
• Zhang Yuan suggested that Immortal Lord Liujing ask the two Great Immortal Lords to help activate her treasures, and she said she felt she had forgotten something.

Zhang Yuan refined the great yin spirit qi and considered how to place it in his dao domain. After Chi Guanguan checked that no one was manipulating him, he prepared to follow his sudden insight and merge it with the embryonic sun.

• Immortal Lord Liujing accepted Zhang Yuan's explanation for failing to find the Profound Ancestor Evil Spirit and went to report to the ancestor.
• Zhang Yuan returned to Ten Thousand Bamboo Mountain and spent three days refining the great yin spirit qi.
• Chi Guanguan told Zhang Yuan that the ancient method would take about eight thousand years to gather a strand of great yin spirit qi, so he decided to rely on the True Lords for the remaining essences.
• Zhang Yuan planned to place the great yin spirit qi in his dao domain, but a flash of inspiration led him to direct it toward the embryonic sun instead of forming a bright moon.
• Chi Guanguan stopped Zhang Yuan to check for interference, then confirmed that no one was scheming against him.

Zhang Yuan incorporated great yin spirit qi into his Dao Domain, transforming its embryonic sun into a black sun and moon, and the Demon King Sun-Eroding Divine Hall recognized him as its master and became the Demon King Sun-Eroding Palace. After sensing visitors outside his Dao Domain, he returned to his bedroom and found Qin Tianyi arriving with Miaole from the Shared-Sorrow Lotus Realm.

• Zhang Yuan merged the great yin spirit qi into his embryonic sun, darkening the Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain and giving it a black sun and moon.
• The Demon King Sun-Eroding Divine Hall absorbed the Dao Domain's conceptual image, recognized Zhang Yuan as its master, and changed its name to the Demon King Sun-Eroding Palace.

• Qin Tianyi called at Zhang Yuan's gate with Miaole and asked to come inside to discuss something important.

Meanwhile, the Five Black Dragon Lord headed to the Ao Kingdom to stop another person from proving the Dao, and Xu Lingyin arrived at Zhang Yuan’s courtyard as the rain began.

• Deng Qiuzhi told True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns that Zhang Yuan had defeated Wenren Shangzhi and might become difficult to control.
• True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns revealed he had hidden mysterious yang life qi in an Ao Kingdom blessed land and asked Deng Qiuzhi to delay Zhang Yuan after Qin Tianyi attempted to prove the Dao.
• The Five Black Dragon Lord learned that someone connected to Zhang Yuan planned to prove the Dao and set out to kill that person before any unforeseen developments arose.
• After two days and nights, Zhang Yuan prepared to summon Xu Lingyin, but she entered his courtyard before he sent the voice transmission.

Xu Lingyin reached sixth-turn Human Immortal cultivation and visited Zhang Yuan, who decided she should build her Dao mastery before advancing further. After stopping her attempt to seduce him, Zhang Yuan prepared to ask her a serious question.

• Xu Lingyin arrived at Zhang Yuan's courtyard soaked from the rain and told him she had broken through to sixth-turn Human Immortal with two divine abilities.
• Zhang Yuan concluded that Xu Lingyin should stop seeking Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha for now and improve her Dao mastery before pursuing Foundation Establishment.

• Qin Tianyi sat on a hill with the First God Cult Master and Yu Lian as powerful cultivators gathered nearby for his True-Seeking Dao Attainment.
