Nie Yun tamed the Chi You Divine Beast, learned from Little Dragon how overwhelmingly powerful the Asura King was, and returned to the Spirit Tamer Tower competition platform with an enormous lead in the first round. The elders then declared that the round would not count and that the Tower Master would be chosen by the next match.

• Nie Yun revealed the Big Dipper Sword and Tower Master Seal to the Chi You Divine Beast, healed it with Wood Life Qi, and stored it in the Big Dipper Star Palace.

• Lu Qian defeated his opponent with overwhelming force, while the winner of the fourth match was too injured to continue, allowing Lu Qian to advance directly to the final.
• Nie Yun faced Fei Yu in the second round and defeated him with one punch, leaving Lu Qian as his next opponent.

• Grand Elder Xu Yang challenged Youyi’s claim, and Nie Yun mocked the idea that the Chi You Talisman proved Lu Qian’s appointment.

• Nie Yun challenged the idea that a Chi You Talisman proved its holder was chosen as Tower Lord, then displayed more than a dozen identical talismans of his own.

Nie Yun proved that he was the Big Dipper Star Lord’s successor and the new Tower Master by revealing the Chi You Divine Beast and the Tower Master Seal, then reorganized the Spirit Tamer Tower for the coming Asura invasion. As he finished laying down new benefits and strict rules, a thin figure appeared and addressed him as brother.

• Nie Yun revealed more than a dozen Chi You Talismans and summoned the Chi You Divine Beast, which called him Master.

• Nie Yun refused to help destroy the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth, and Nie Tong raised his hand to attack him.

Nie Yun confronted the Asura King, but Nie Tong briefly took control and warned him that the Asura King was refining the Heart of the Dark Demon in the Huntian World. After Nie Yun returned to the Spirit Tamer Tower, he discussed how to oppose the Asura King and recognized that Big Dipper Star Lord’s unfinished weapon might be connected to the search for the Asura King’s origin.

• The Asura King attacked Nie Yun with a sword of chaos, but Nie Tong seized control of the body and stopped the strike.

• Chi Feng revealed that Big Dipper Star Lord had tried to forge a powerful Creation Immortal Artifact to seek the Asura King’s source, and Nie Yun recalled the unfinished artifacts in Tianji Hall.

Nie Yun rejected plans to unify the Six Paths or build an alliance against the Asura King, urging everyone to focus on growing stronger. After an attempt to use the Spirit Tamer Tower’s formation to help him break through to Immortal Lord proved unpromising, he went to inspect the Tower’s treasury for resources that might strengthen him.

• Elder Chi Feng explained that forging a supreme Creation Immortal Artifact would require treasures from every realm, making unification necessary, while Grand Elder An Qing proposed forming an alliance against the Asura King.
• Elder Chi Feng warned that the Asura King could have infiltrated any alliance, and Nie Yun told everyone to concentrate on improving their strength instead.
• Nie Yun gave the elders jade tablets containing Martial Dao techniques he had developed and asked whether the Tower’s method for advancing its Tower Master to Immortal Lord could work for him.

• Nie Yun asked to see the Tower’s treasury, and Chi Feng led him to its sealed entrance.

Nie Yun returned to Lian Yue Pavilion with the Chi You Divine Beast and Little Dragon after exploring the Spirit Tamer Tower’s treasure vault. On Nine Yang Mountain, he stopped a fight between applicants and encountered Lan Xin and Lan Xi, whose group mistook his question for an attempt to flirt.

• When the Ancestor Chi You challenged Lan Xin for ignoring Nie Yun’s question, she accused Nie Yun of acting like a lecher trying to approach a girl.

Nie Yun and his companions encountered Lan Xin and her brother Lan Xi, who were fleeing from Han Zhen of the Hua Yu Sect. After Chi You knocked Han Zhen down, the group dismissed Lan Xin’s warnings about the sect, and a powerful Hua Yu Sect figure arrived to block their way.

• Lan Xin accused Nie Yun of staging a fight to approach her, then Han Zhen appeared and tried to take her back by force.
• Lan Xi and Lan Xin urged Nie Yun and his companions to leave, but Chi You refused to let Han Zhen attack them.
• Han Zhen grabbed at Nie Yun, and Chi You struck him into a tree, leaving him gravely injured.
• Lan Xin warned that Han Zhen was a Hua Yu Sect elder and that the sect master might retaliate, but Nie Yun said he would take responsibility.
• As Lan Xin and her group started to leave, a Hua Yu Sect figure arrived in a blaze of rosy light and blocked their path.

Nie Yun revealed himself as the master of Lian Yue Pavilion after its guards recognized him, ending Han Mo’s attempt to kill Lan Xin and her companions. He ordered the Chi You Divine Beast to kill Han Mo, while Lan Xin struggled to accept who Nie Yun was.
