• The First God summoned the [Heaven-Covering Net], covering the kingdoms with blood-red nets and threatening a mass blood sacrifice.
• Several Great Luo True Lords warned the First God not to sacrifice the kingdoms, so he narrowed his targets to beasts, some ordinary mortals, Zhang Yuan, and the others.

His final slash was already bearing down on the Dragon Lord as the latter realized he had been caught off guard.

• Zhang Yuan's Conceptual Image gained the momentum of invincibility after he defeated several cultivators, prompting the [Five Black Dragon Lord] and the First God Cult Master to move against him.

• Zhang Yuan unleashed an even stronger sword slash under [Malice Growth], and the [Five Black Dragon Lord] realized too late that it was coming.

Zhang Yuan completed the Truth-Seeking Rite and raced toward Sky Mountain’s summit, but a falling stone platform knocked him back to the foot of the mountain. The blow restored his missing memories, revealing that his flawed Dharma Body made proving the Dao fatal, and he concluded that [True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns] had plotted against him.

• Zhang Yuan remembered that his Dharma Body lacked a spirit root and that he lacked the conditions to Prove the Dao safely.
• Zhang Yuan recognized [True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns] as the one who had plotted his death.

Zhang Yuan survived the trap laid by [True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns] when [True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan] appeared and revealed an upper-grade golden position. Zhang Yuan learned that Hunlun was an ancient Great Luo, but remained uncertain why he had intervened.

• Zhang Yuan realized [True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns] had planted a hidden trap to kill him when he pursued true-seeking Dao attainment, and he concealed that he had discovered it.
• The Lords of Heaven and Earth recognized the newly appeared stone platform as an upper-grade golden position and prepared to guard against its unknown master.
• [True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan] appeared above Sky Mountain, and his arrival was announced throughout the Five Realms Heavens.
• Zhang Yuan wondered why Hunlun had helped him and asked Chi Guanguan about the unfamiliar True Lord.
• Chi Guanguan explained that Hunlun was a famous Primordial Era Great Luo who commanded the upper-grade golden position [Chaos Platform], but she knew little else.

True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan descended in his true body and challenged the Lords of Heaven and Earth, while Zhang Yuan resumed his attempt to reach Sky Mountain's summit. Hunlun Zhaopan welcomed a three-mystery divine ability that annihilated him, seeking to abandon his Great Luo status and enter the Nether Bureau to reincarnate.

• True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan revealed that he had deliberately helped Zhang Yuan awaken, then invited the Recent Antiquity True Lords to descend and meet him.
• True Lord Qingji Huiyu falsely claimed Hunlun Zhaopan was his relative, while True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns and the other Lords of Heaven and Earth stayed in the Great Void.
• Zhang Yuan recovered from being struck down and charged toward Sky Mountain's summit again to prove the Dao.
• A bright moon appeared, and the Sun-Moon Mystic Light descended toward Hunlun Zhaopan with the profound mysteries of annihilation, sky-leaping, and limitlessness.
• Hunlun Zhaopan welcomed the attack, intending to relinquish his Great Luo status and enter the Nether Bureau; the mystic light annihilated his true body and shattered the stone platform.

After True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan was killed by the sun-moon mystic light, the Grand Demon Immortal Bone Body sacrificed his body to stop Zhang Yuan from reaching Sky Mountain’s summit.

• The sun-moon mystic light killed True Lord Hunlun Zhaopan instantly, leaving the Five Realms Heavens’ watching powers stunned.
• The Grand Demon Immortal Bone Body decided to sacrifice his Dharma body rather than let Zhang Yuan prove the Dao, and invoked the Heaven-Covering Net to devour his body into a black hole.
• Zhang Yuan survived the sun-moon mystic light’s interference and found a foothold halfway up Sky Mountain.
• As Zhang Yuan tried to climb again, the Grand Demon Immortal Bone Body’s black hole began pulling him and the surrounding Dao domains inward.
• Zhang Yuan called for help, and an almost imperceptible power strengthened him enough to push against the suction; he suspected True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns had intervened.

Zhang Yuan reached the final stretch of Sky Mountain as the [Grand Demon Immortal Bone Body] intensified the black hole’s suction and began dragging out his Dao domain. Zhang Yuan let the [Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain] be pulled away, using the reprieve to reach the summit, while Chi Guanguan stood ready to transport him.

• The [Grand Demon Immortal Bone Body] merged his remaining head and Great Luo divine sense with the black hole, strengthening its suction and pulling in First God Cult Disciples.
• Tan Duanchang protected the surviving First God Cult Disciples and fled the Profound Ancestor Mountain Range to meet the First God Cult Master.
• The black hole’s intensified pull stopped Zhang Yuan near the summit and began dragging the [Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain] from his inner great void.
• Zhang Yuan asked Chi Guanguan whether she could transport him away if he reached the summit, and she assured him she could.
• Zhang Yuan allowed the [Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain] to emerge and be sucked into the black hole, then used the opening to reach Sky Mountain’s summit.

After the black hole swallowed Zhang Yuan’s Dao Domain, he reached Sky Mountain’s summit and surprised the watching Lords of Heaven and Earth by attempting to claim a Golden Position anyway. He mocked the First God and Deng La Er, then seized two major fragments of the vacant Chaos Platform instead of approaching the Stone Guardian.

• The black hole drained Zhang Yuan’s remaining conceptual image and qi-blood after swallowing his Dao Domain, while Immortal Lord Xuancong Chuirui and Immortal Lord Youhuang Miefa greeted him on Sky Mountain’s summit.
• Immortal Lord Xuancong Chuirui asked whether Zhang Yuan could still prove the Dao without his Dao Domain, and Zhang Yuan said he would give it a try.
• Zhang Yuan walked toward the Stone Guardian, laughed, and mocked the First God and Deng La Er.
• Zhang Yuan abruptly changed direction, used Ninefold Harmonizing Qi to reach the shattered Chaos Platform, and absorbed two of its largest fragments into his sea of consciousness.
• True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns realized Zhang Yuan had exposed his scheme and targeted the Chaos Platform, then angrily called him sinister and cunning.

Zhang Yuan was trapped beneath True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns's attack while the First God dumped the Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain into the Nether Bureau. The Unimpeded Foot rescued Zhang Yuan, and the East Sea Dragon Lord reunited with Ao Xiu.

• True Lord Imperial Balance Myriad Turns attacked Zhang Yuan as he tried to retrieve a third Chaos Platform fragment, while Chi Guanguan urged him to escape with the two fragments he already had.
• The First God sent the Great Grotto Yin-Scenery Immortal Domain through the Nether Bureau East Gate, then dispersed as his power ran out.

• The East Sea Dragon Lord said a fellow Daoist had returned Ao Xiu to him, and Ao Xiu warned her father not to seek out Zhang Yuan.

After Zhang Yuan survived his failed attempt at true-seeking dao attainment and vanished, Ye Xiangning planned to seek his golden-position concepts, while Xu Lingyin prepared to pursue Sky Mountain’s golden position. At Sun-Moon Cliff, Xiao Yuanjun left to confront the Ancient Lords kept outside by Li Huixi.

• Ye Xiangning noted that Zhang Yuan had survived and resolved to find a way to obtain a wisp of the golden-position concepts he held.
• Xu Lingyin saw Zhang Yuan’s failure as a chance to seek Sky Mountain’s golden position, and Immortal Lord Liujing took her to the summit after the ancestor summoned them.
• Xiao Yuanjun asked Li Huixi why she had stopped her from helping Zhang Yuan during his attempt at true-seeking dao attainment.
• Li Huixi said Zhang Yuan’s lower-grade golden position was too low, and Xiao Yuanjun agreed that he should have sought at least a middle-grade one.
• Xiao Yuanjun announced she was going for a stroll, and Li Huixi told her to return after beating up the Ancient Lords outside; Xiao Yuanjun then vanished.

After the Five Realms Unification, Zhang Yuan drifted through the Outer Chaos and descended into a desolate part of the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm, still gravely injured. He realized Chi Guanguan and Ao Xiu were gone, leaving him alone as he sought shelter in a ruined temple.

• Zhang Yuan used [Ninefold Harmonizing Qi] to protect himself and fall toward the Five Realms while unconscious, landing in the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm.
• Chi Guanguan arrived where Zhang Yuan had been, found him gone, and fled when the Sun-Moon Mystic Light pursued her.

• As thunder sounded and rain threatened, an unseen man invited Zhang Yuan inside to take shelter.

Zhang Yuan sought shelter from the rain in a ruined temple, where he encountered a suspicious escort group while his body and cultivation were weakened. As he considered how to learn where he was, Chi Guanguan identified the place as the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm.

• Zhang Yuan entered the ruined temple after a refined young man invited him in to escape the coming rain.
• Zhang Yuan sensed unusual auras from Wei Jianxing and two young companions, while the group discussed whether to kill him and decided against acting rashly.
