Lin Changheng agreed to join the Luminous Jade Palace as an offering elder after True Lord Qingwei and Palace Master Feili laid out the terms, and the palace began preparing a Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony for him. As he was about to return to his cave, an emergency arose and he urgently asked whether the palace had a teleportation formation to the Outer Sea.

• Lin Changheng accepted the Luminous Jade Palace's invitation and chose to serve as an offering elder with flexible duties and no accumulating mission debt while away.

• Lin Changheng's expression changed suddenly, and he asked True Lord Qingxu to let him use the palace's teleportation formation to the Outer Sea.

Lin Changheng rushed to the Outer Sea after Mo Zhaoli’s Soul Lamp dimmed, learned that she was trapped with Sea-Ruins Merchant Guild cultivators near a newly discovered small secret realm, and raced to rescue her. He reunited with Mo Zhaoli during a demonic siege, but she immediately tried to protect him and urged him to flee.

• Mo Zhaoli confirmed Lin Changheng was real, then shielded him from the demonic cultivators and urged him to escape before they summoned a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lin Changheng saved Mo Zhaoli and revealed the overwhelming power of his Nascent Soul cultivation, slaughtering the Demonic Cultivators who had attacked her. He then faced Ji, an ink-crowned Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator, trapping him in an expanded Mist-Scattering domain and seizing his Bronze Disc before Ji summoned a Demon God Phantom to attack.

• Lin Changheng embraced Mo Zhaoli, healed her injuries, and promised to show her fireworks as he faced the Demonic Cultivators.

Lin Changheng defeated the Ink-Crowned Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator after countering his techniques and capturing his Bronze Disc, but the enemy escaped by teleporting as a Nascent Soul. Lin Changheng collected the defeated cultivator’s corpse and Storage Bag as spoils, while Mo Zhaoli remained behind after the guild members withdrew.

• Lin Changheng retrieved his treasures, stored the mutilated corpse in the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land, and kept the Nascent Soul Storage Bag for later examination.

After defeating Ji Shan Devil Lord, Lin Changheng entered the underwater small secret realm with Mo Zhaoli and broke through its sealed stone gate. Inside, their mana and Divine Sense were suppressed to the Qi Refining Realm, though their body tempering remained intact, and they headed toward the realm’s center.

The realm suppressed their mana and divine sense to Qi Refining strength, but Lin Changheng found his body-tempering power remained intact, then surveyed the realm and headed toward its center.

• Lin Changheng reflected on Nascent Soul teleportation after Ji Shan Devil Lord fled, then reunited with Mo Zhaoli and learned that the enemy might return with allies and the Extreme Demon Ancestor.

Lin Changheng absorbed the complete Secret Realm Core, vastly expanding the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land, then escaped the Outer Sea with Mo Zhaoli after outmaneuvering a demonic Nascent Soul. Back on Luminous Jade Sky Island, he parted from Mo Zhaoli and planned his next steps as the secret realm finished transforming into a miniature world.

• Lin Changheng watched the Secret Realm Core expand the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land while he and Mo Zhaoli emerged from the collapsing secret realm.
• Lin Changheng sensed the Blond-Haired Demonic Nascent Soul, killed a Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator who noticed them, and escaped the sea after persuading the Nascent Soul not to attack.
• The Blond-Haired Demonic Nascent Soul learned the secret realm had collapsed and realized Lin Changheng had deceived him, then erupted in fury.
• Ten days later, Lin Changheng kissed Mo Zhaoli as she departed Luminous Jade Sky Island, and she offered to seek a fourth-tier earth-attribute body-tempering method for him.
• Lin Changheng planned to open two Nascent Soul Storage Bags, investigate Long Deer Peak, strengthen his swords, revive the Truefire Flood Dragon, and seek Wind-Piercing Beast essence blood.
• The Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land finished absorbing the secret realm, grew to over thirty li, and astonished its spirit beasts with its new miniature-world scale.

Lin Changheng absorbed the Small Secret Realm core, gaining deeper control over the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land, then opened two Nascent Soul cultivators’ storage bags and claimed their treasures. After a year refining the Bronze Disc and mastering a demonic summoning art, he searched Long Deer Peak with his Seven-Colored Divine Light and detected a strange gray-white ripple at its foot.

• Lin Changheng discovered that his control of the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land had advanced, letting him project a heavenly voice and form a colossal face from clouds while rapidly transplanting spirit plants.

• Lin Changheng scanned Long Deer Peak with his Seven-Colored Divine Light and detected a strange gray-white ripple at the mountain’s foot that his divine sense could not perceive.

Lin Changheng traced a hidden heavenly-secret thread beneath Long Deer Peak and discovered a mysterious withered root that drained his lifespan when he tried to revive it. He severed its connection, took the root and its planting pillar, and traveled to Green Jade Gate, where he waited for Guan Sheng.

• Lin Changheng used the true intent of Candle Gaze Divine Ability to see heavenly-secret threads beneath Long Deer Peak and followed them deep underground to a protected hollow.
• Lin Changheng broke through the formation and found a mysterious withered root whose tender shoot was being nourished by elaborate formations.

• Lin Changheng erased the rental records at Luminous Jade Immortal City, obtained sea charts, and traveled aboard a Luminous Jade Palace ship toward Green Jade Gate.
• Lin Changheng arrived at Green Jade Gate's main island, activated the Sensing Jade Talisman he had exchanged with Guan Sheng, and waited while the island's guards failed to recognize him as a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Lin Changheng visited the Green Jade Gate, where Yu Susu asked him to recover two stolen Jade-Clear Sacred Tea mother plants and help protect her faction from its rivals. After agreeing to assist in exchange for a long-term supply of Wind-Piercing Beast essence blood, he went with Yu Susu to meet the sect’s ancient beast.

• Guan Sheng welcomed Lin Changheng to the Green Jade Gate and explained how the Inner Sea’s large islands had been turned into fortified strongholds.
• Yu Susu recognized Lin Changheng as a Nascent Soul True Lord, and Guan Sheng learned his true standing.
• Guan Sheng explained that the Green Jade Gate was divided by a power struggle, and that the opposing faction had stolen both Jade-Clear Sacred Tea mother plants.

• Yu Susu secured the Wind-Piercing Beast’s agreement to meet Lin Changheng, then guided him to the beast’s cave the next day.

Lin Changheng met the aged Wind-Piercing Beast, which asked him to help Yu Susu gather what she needed to form a Nascent Soul in exchange for an extraordinary drop of true spirit essence blood. The beast revealed how it found the blood and lost its Dao path, while Lin Changheng offered to pursue the Golden Flood Dragon that had ruined it.

• Lin Changheng confronted Yu Susu about trying to draw him into her schemes, and the Wind-Piercing Beast asked him to forgive her.
• The Wind-Piercing Beast requested Lin Changheng's help securing Nascent Soul pills, insights, and a spirit item for Yu Susu, offering valuable demon essence blood in return.
• The beast revealed that it had entered a strange space containing a feather and two glowing blood droplets, but a pureblood Golden Flood Dragon took most of the treasure and later drove it from the Outer Sea.
• Lin Changheng promised he might avenge the Wind-Piercing Beast because he also wanted a Golden Flood Dragon body for his friend, the Truefire Flood Dragon.
• The Wind-Piercing Beast produced its remaining drop of true spirit essence blood, whose aura stirred Lin Changheng's Origin Cauldron; it explained that a hundred years of trying to refine the blood had failed and cost it its Dao path.

Lin Changheng traded supplies for the Wind-Piercing Beast’s True Spirit Essence Blood and used it to awaken a Sky-Soaring Kunpeng talent. The chapter ended with him testing the talent’s short-range teleportation and planning to cultivate it further.

• Lin Changheng reassured the Wind-Piercing Beast about its past choices, then learned that even fourth-tier flames had failed to refine the True Spirit Essence Blood.
• Lin Changheng asked Yu Susu what she lacked for Nascent Soul Formation and agreed to provide her pill ingredients and insights in exchange for the essence blood.
• The Wind-Piercing Beast removed a Demon Curse from the blood before giving it to Lin Changheng, who sealed it away and returned to his courtyard.
• Lin Changheng used the Origin Cauldron to absorb the essence blood, gained a first-level Sky-Soaring Kunpeng Treasure Seed, and chose the Sky-Hanging Void Crossing talent.
• Lin Changheng refined the talent into himself and discovered that its Kunpeng wings let him teleport short distances, though using the ability consumed much of his mana.

Lin Changheng tested the astonishing speed of his [Kunpeng Wings] and refined the [Yin Tide Demon-Subduing Spirit-Invoking Mantra] while traveling to [Azure Light Island] to settle the Green Jade Gate’s crisis and claim [Jade-Clear Sacred Tea]. There, he discovered [True Lord Huang Ya] was backing the faction occupying the island, and the two prepared to resolve their conflict through a contest of strength.

• Lin Changheng combined the [Kunpeng Wings] with Wind-Thunder Fusion Dual Escape and the Sun-Chasing Cloak, achieving speed he believed surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.
• Lin Changheng reviewed his remaining goals, then sailed with Yu Susu and Guan Sheng toward [Azure Light Island] during a violent storm.

• Lin Changheng attacked the three leaders, prompting [True Lord Huang Ya] to emerge from beneath the lake and block his swords.
• Lin Changheng and [True Lord Huang Ya] recognized each other as elders of the Immortal Palace, but acknowledged that they stood on opposing sides and began discussing a fair contest.

Lin Changheng and True Lord Huang Ya secretly agreed to divide the Jade-Clear Sacred Tea mother plants and used their authority to force the Green Jade Gate branches into a peaceful coexistence. Later, as his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony approached, Lin Changheng chose three inheritances from the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion and received restricted copies from its mysterious custodian.

• Lin Changheng and True Lord Huang Ya exchanged secret voice transmissions, agreed to take one Jade-Clear Sacred Tea mother plant each, and staged a confrontation to persuade the Green Jade Gate leaders to stop fighting.
• Yu Susu and the other branch leaders accepted the two True Lords’ decree to coexist peacefully, and the branches presented the tea plants at a feast where Lin Changheng and True Lord Huang Ya each claimed one.
• As Lin Changheng’s Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony drew near, he studied the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion’s records and learned about the Azure Abyss Sea, including the Sacred Dragon Palace and its fifth-tier old dragon.
• Lin Changheng selected three inheritances, but the pavilion custodian explained that he could only provide copies after Lin Changheng swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.
• The custodian warned Lin Changheng that the copies would destroy themselves after he read them or after three days, then wondered why Lin Changheng had not tried to investigate him.

Lin Changheng reflected on his promise to his deceased friends as he prepared for his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, then learned that Daoist Treasure Sea had likely left Luminous Jade Sky Island to seek Nascent Soul formation elsewhere. He selected three inheritances from the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion and began practicing a soul-defense secret art, while the chapter ended with him painstakingly extracting strands of soul energy from his Primordial Spirit.

• Lin Changheng revisited the recreated Blackwater River, remembered Xu Fugui and Bai Fengxian, and reflected that he had fulfilled his promise to see beyond Foundation Establishment by reaching Nascent Soul.
• True Lord Qingwei visited Lin Changheng, shared tea, and reported that Daoist Treasure Sea had disappeared from Luminous Jade Sky Island, possibly heading to the Sea-Ruins Merchant Guild to form a Nascent Soul.

• Lin Changheng studied his three Heavenly Scripture Pavilion selections: the Great Simplicity Soul-Settling Scripture, a fourth-tier Fire-Method Dao of Alchemy inheritance, and a fourth-tier Geomancy Arts inheritance.
• Lin Changheng began cultivating the Great Simplicity Soul-Settling Scripture and carefully tried to peel strands of pure soul energy from his Primordial Spirit.

Lin Changheng completed the second layer of the Great Simplicity Soul-Settling Scripture, prepared for his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, and began welcoming visiting True Lords. At the ceremony venue, his claim that he was a Fourth-Tier Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster shocked True Lord Qingwei, while more guests arrived.

• Lin Changheng formed a soul-defense barrier two-tenths of an inch thick and tested its resistance to an internal divine-sense attack.
• Lin Changheng tried on his ceremonial robes, then studied geomancy inheritances while waiting for his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony.
• Lin Changheng flew to the ceremony venue, where True Lord Qingwei told him which Immortal Palace True Lords would attend and which would send gifts instead.

• True Lord Haiya of the Beast Spirit Sect and True Lord Chengfeng of the Grand Sea Tower arrived to congratulate Lin Changheng.

At his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, Lin Changheng welcomed a host of powerful guests, including two Immortal Palace palace masters, while True Lord Jinyue exposed Lin Changheng’s past victory over Shura Island’s young master. Jinyue then attacked him with a rare spirit material, but Lin Changheng caught and subdued it with his Three-Colored Flame and formidable physical strength, leaving the gathered cultivators stunned.

• Lin Changheng welcomed True Lords Tianlai, Chengfeng, Haiya, Jingxuan, Zhaohua, and Huang Ya as guests arrived for his ceremony.
• True Lords Moye, Aolan, and Yun Xuzi arrived in person, and Palace Masters Feili and Lingxiu came to honor Lin Changheng.
• True Lord Jinyue arrived late and announced to the gathering that Lin Changheng had killed Shura Island’s young master while still at the Core Formation Stage.
• Lin Changheng confirmed the killing and calmly told Jinyue to leave his gift and take his seat.
• Jinyue launched a fourth-tier falling star gold at Lin Changheng, who enveloped it in his Three-Colored Flame and caught it with his bare hand.
• Lin Changheng broke the spirit material’s spikes, accepted it as a gift, and stunned the gathered Nascent Soul cultivators.

At his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, Lin Changheng effortlessly blocked True Lord Jinyue’s attack and received congratulatory treasures from True Lord Gui of the Sea-Ruins Merchant Guild. After the ceremony, Palace Master Feili visited Lin Changheng at night, bringing him Cloud-Immortal Tea and hinting at a closer relationship.

• Lin Changheng caught True Lord Jinyue’s spirit-material strike barehanded, astonishing the gathered cultivators and prompting True Lord Jinyue to apologize.
• True Lord Gui arrived, rebuked True Lord Jinyue, and presented Lin Changheng with the Mysterious Primordial Embryonic Spring on behalf of the Sea-Ruins Merchant Guild.
• Lin Changheng accepted the gift and decided he would give the Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Item to Yu Susu rather than save it for Li'er.
• Lin Changheng completed the ceremony, bestowed return gifts on the guests, and attended the evening banquet and Dao Discussion Gathering.
• Palace Master Feili surprised Lin Changheng outside his cave residence, then visited him and gave him a canister of Cloud-Immortal Tea.
• Lin Changheng accepted Feili’s tea and asked her not to address him so formally.

Palace Master Feili learned that Lin Changheng had defeated the veteran Ji Shan Devil Lord soon after forming his Nascent Soul, and she offered to guide him when he advanced further. At the ceremony’s Trade Fair, Lin Changheng obtained rare blood, sword materials, and craft inheritances, then entered seclusion for ten years to refine his flying sword and cultivate.

• Lin Changheng told Palace Master Feili that he had fought Ji Shan Devil Lord and gained the upper hand, though Ji Shan’s Nascent Soul escaped; Feili was astonished by his strength and offered future guidance.
• Lin Changheng attended the Dao Discussion Assembly, learned from the other Nascent Soul cultivators, and prepared medicinal treasure herbs and spirit materials for the Trade Fair.
• Lin Changheng traded three aged treasure herbs for fourth-tier Blazing Origin Essence Blood and two medicinal prescriptions from True Lord Aolan.
• True Lord Huang Ya offered Lin Changheng a rare sword-refining material, while True Lord Zhaohua and True Lord Gui traded him formation, geomancy, artifact-refining, and essence-blood resources.
• Lin Changheng secured the materials needed to enhance his flying sword, replenished his essence blood, and gained further craft inheritances and a Soul Secret Art.
• Lin Changheng sealed his cave abode and began a ten-year seclusion.

During ten years of seclusion, Lin Changheng strengthened his cultivation, upgraded his flying swords, and advanced his arts while turmoil grew between the Outer Sea Demonic Path and the Sacred Peak Sect. He collected his Luminous Jade Palace stipend and reviewed its tasks, weighing a routine spirit-plant assignment as he considered what to do next.

• Lin Changheng’s reputation spread across the Azure Abyss Inner Sea after word emerged that he had killed the Shura Devil Lord’s son and escaped, while his identity as a Fourth-Tier Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster left cultivators uncertain how to judge him.
• The Outer Sea Demonic Path destroyed Sacred Peak Sect teleportation outposts, prompting the sect to send Nascent Soul True Lords and cultivators to defend its interests as clashes escalated.
• Lin Changheng reforged his five life-bound flying swords with fourth-tier materials, tested their improved power, and advanced his artifact-refining skill, geomancy, formation skill, and Great Simplicity Soul-Settling Scripture.
• Lin Changheng considered returning to the Song Region to check on Tantai Feiyue, Xu Hanji, and Yan Mingyi, but decided the danger around the Ancient Inheritance Formation made the trip too risky.
• Lin Changheng went to the General Affairs Hall, where cultivators greeted him as Elder Ten Thousand Longevity, and collected ten years of stipend resources before examining the palace’s task register.
• Lin Changheng narrowed the available tasks to pill refining and tending fourth-tier spirit plants, then reconsidered the routine assignment to cultivate Purple Rose Bamboo or Azure Jade Peach Trees.

Lin Changheng accepted assignments to tend fourth-tier spirit plants instead of joining True Lord Jingxuan’s demon hunt, hoping to secretly propagate the plants for himself. After nine months, he began Spirit Seizure on the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear’s treasure seed and discovered its three innate talents.

• Lin Changheng rejected True Lord Jingxuan’s invitation to hunt a fourth-tier demon cultivator and registered to tend both Purple Rose Bamboo and Azure Jade Peach Trees.
• Lin Changheng visited the Flower Medicine Palace, met True Lord Qingwu, and learned the cultivation methods for the two spirit plants he had accepted responsibility for.
• Lin Changheng inspected the Purple Rose Bamboo and Azure Jade Peach Tree, considering how he might secretly grow more of them from their roots.
• Nine months later, Lin Changheng collected more essence blood from the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear and began Spirit Seizure on its treasure seed.
• Lin Changheng saw that the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear treasure seed offered the Nether Void Demon Beast bloodline and the talents Mountain-Vein Search Sight, Mountain Qi Arises Naturally, and Earth's Bountiful Nurturing.

Lin Changheng chose the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear’s [Earth's Bountiful Nurturing] talent, refined it to transcendent mastery, and used it to restore and enrich damaged soil. After learning that True Person Treasure Sea had become a Nascent Soul and beginning work on the Yin Mountain Corpsefire, Lin Changheng secretly took roots from a [Purple Rose Bamboo] and later repeated the operation on an [Azure Jade Peach Tree].

• Lin Changheng questioned the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear about its three strongest talents and chose [Earth's Bountiful Nurturing], which complemented his abilities and could improve the land in his [Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land].
• Lin Changheng refined [Earth's Bountiful Nurturing] to transcendent mastery, restored soil damaged by three flames, and found that his earth spiritual root and divine sense had improved.
• Lin Changheng spent the following year and a half cultivating, tending spirit plants, developing the Yin Mountain Corpsefire from stored corpses, and improving the soil in his blessed land with the demon bear’s help.
• True Lord Qingwei told Lin Changheng that True Person Treasure Sea had formed a Nascent Soul and joined the Sea-Ruins Merchant Guild; Lin Changheng considered using him as material to advance his corpsefire.
• Lin Changheng secretly cut a three-inch section of root from one [Purple Rose Bamboo] in the Flower Medicine Palace, then used the [Flourishing Life Divine Ability] to conceal and stabilize the plant’s injury.
• A month later, Lin Changheng repeated the same operation on an [Azure Jade Peach Tree], taking half a month to complete it.

Lin Changheng learned that True Lord Greedy Wolf planned to force Yu Susu into becoming his concubine and seize the Wind-Piercing Beast, so he prepared to confront him. Before leaving the Luminous Jade Immortal Palace, Lin Changheng refined the Yin Mountain Corpsefire, fused four flames into the Four Extremes True Flame, strengthened his earth-related abilities, and set out toward the Green Jade Gate.

• Lin Changheng inspected his Fourth-Tier Spirit Plants and considered acquiring more Spirit Veins to improve the Heaven-in-a-Pot Blessed Land.
• Guan Sheng told Lin Changheng that True Lord Greedy Wolf had threatened Yu Susu and demanded the Wind-Piercing Beast as her dowry, while insulting Lin Changheng and challenging him to intervene.
• Lin Changheng told Guan Sheng to have Yu Susu prepare for Nascent Soul Formation and continue drawing the Wind-Piercing Beast's Essence Blood, and he agreed to meet True Lord Greedy Wolf after the one-month deadline.
• Lin Changheng refined the Yin Mountain Corpsefire, fed it the flame from the Young Island Lord of Shura Island, and fused it with three other flames to create the fourth-tier mid-grade Four Extremes True Flame and its bead.
• Lin Changheng completed the Primordial Desolate Demon Bear's transformation, strengthened his earth-nurturing abilities, and decided to postpone Spirit Seizure of the Wind-Piercing Beast's Essence Blood until he had collected it all.
• Lin Changheng notified True Lord Qingwei that he would be away, left the Luminous Jade Immortal Palace, and flew toward the world beyond the island.

Lin Changheng arrived at Green Jade Gate, killed Gao Fei when he exposed his betrayal, and collected another batch of Wind-Piercing Beast essence blood. After suspecting that True Lord Greedy Wolf was pursuing the beast for the Evil Dragon Palace and its Sky-Soaring Kunpeng essence blood, Lin Changheng sensed Greedy Wolf sneaking into the region and challenged him openly.

• Lin Changheng reached Green Jade Island, inspected the Wind-Piercing Beast, and realized it had secretly sensed his presence through an innate wind ability.
• At Green Jade Gate, Gao Fei urged Yu Susu to submit to True Lord Greedy Wolf and revealed he had betrayed the sect, using a Nascent Soul Talismanized Treasure to threaten her.
• Lin Changheng emerged from hiding and killed Gao Fei with a single strike, then let Yu Susu punish the other elders who had sided with him.
• Yu Susu explained that Greedy Wolf's concubines often died after being drained as cultivation cauldrons, and Lin Changheng collected the Wind-Piercing Beast essence blood from Guan Sheng.
• Lin Changheng suspected Greedy Wolf wanted the beast because of its connection to the Evil Dragon Palace and a drop of Sky-Soaring Kunpeng true spirit essence blood.
• After sensing Greedy Wolf sneaking nearby, Lin Changheng called him out across Green Jade Gate's core region.

Lin Changheng intercepted True Lord Greedy Wolf before he could seize the Wind-Piercing Beast, then lured him away from Green Jade Island and fought him with an array of treasures and demonic techniques. After cutting down Greedy Wolf’s body, Lin Changheng pursued his fleeing Nascent Soul with the teleportation art of the Sky-Soaring Kunpeng and captured it.

• Yu Susu and Guan Sheng realized True Lord Greedy Wolf was targeting the Wind Cave, withdrew the Green Jade Gate’s disciples, and watched Lin Changheng confront him.
• Lin Changheng attacked with his flying swords, then feigned weakness and led True Lord Greedy Wolf away from the island to avoid harming its people or exposing his methods.
• At the remote sea, Lin Changheng deployed the Demon God, the Spirit-Binding Mirror, and the Seven-Star Bracelet to hinder Greedy Wolf and restrain his treasures.
• Lin Changheng wounded Greedy Wolf with a Corpse Claw and destroyed his defenses, forcing him to abandon his body and flee as a Nascent Soul.
• True Lord Greedy Wolf threatened to expose Lin Changheng, but Lin Changheng used the Sky-Hanging Void-Crossing Foreign Method to catch him and seize his Nascent Soul.
