Zhou Feng stayed in Ao Shan’s chambers to cultivate while the Aquatic Race mocked him for hiding, and Ao Shan warned him that powerful prodigies planned to ambush him in the Dragon King Secret Realm.

Zhou Feng followed the Human Emperor Ring toward the secret realm’s core, enduring a restriction that suppressed his power while he cultivated under its pressure.

• Zhou Feng followed the Human Emperor Ring as the barren landscape grew lush and the pressure of the Human Emperor Tribe’s restriction intensified.

• Zhou Feng nearly fell under the remnant soul’s influence, but regained his composure by opening the Skill Panel and recognizing the trap.
• Zhou Feng threw the Human Emperor Ring away, weakening the whispers, and returned to his cultivation.

Zhou Feng reached the altar and found the original Human Emperor Scripture left by Taixu Human Emperor, including the Taixu True Qi cultivation method.

• The altar’s surroundings shifted into an ancient battlefield, and the battle cries began to consume Zhou Feng’s attention.

Zhou Feng watched the Remnant Soul at the altar reveal the Taixu Human Emperor’s legacy while silently resisting its emotional appeals. The Remnant Soul’s true nature emerged as two arguing personas, each warning him that the other was a demon, leaving the altar’s purpose unclear.

• Old Madman told Zhou Feng that the altar held the Taixu Human Emperor’s treasures and urged him to take up the human race’s cause.
• Zhou Feng stayed silent as Old Madman tried to win his trust and then revealed that the Human Emperor Destiny was passed to geniuses through a deadly method that eventually drained their destiny.
• Old Madman told Zhou Feng to dig beneath the first stone stele and leave with the treasure.
• The Remnant Soul changed into a ragged figure with bloody tears and warned Zhou Feng not to open the first stele, claiming it sealed a demon.
• The two personas argued over which one was the demon, each revealing secrets from the Ancient Times to persuade Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng ignored the Old Madman’s offer of an ancient Body Tempering technique and left the secret realm’s core area after memorizing the Taixu True Qi divine ability. The Old Madman relinquished control of the core area to draw others toward its treasures, while powerful factions began entering the secret realm.

• Treasures erupted from the secret realm's core, and Ao Lie led powerful troops into the realm to claim them as rival Aquatic Race clans arrived to challenge him.
• Zhou Feng concealed his aura and planned to escape through a spatial rift rather than use the Dragon King Palace's teleportation token.
• An Immortal Elixir flew toward Zhou Feng, and he grabbed it before hurling it to Ao Lie.
• Ao Lie recognized the elixir and claimed it, prompting both sides to fight over the treasure while they forgot about Zhou Feng.
• Old Madman realized that Zhou Feng's throw had defeated his plan to trap him through the divine soul sealed inside the Immortal Elixir.

Zhou Feng escaped the Dragon King Secret Realm as the Immortal Elixir turned out to be deadly poison and the Human Emperor Tribe’s Remnant Souls attacked the Aquatic Race.

He chose to head for the Jade Sword Holy Land, and the Skill Panel filled its progress bar after he changed the fates of countless Aquatic Race members, allowing him to draw a new passive.

• Zhou Feng reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm and decided to pursue the Divine Ability Realm by comprehending Taixu True Qi.

• Zhou Feng released Big Yellow from the sea and set off east toward the Jade Sword Holy Land, planning to seek the Jade Sword Forest if he could not comprehend True Void Intent.
