After advancing to the Nascent Soul middle stage, Azure Origin became powerful enough to deter the Infinite Hall from pressuring him over Yinxiao’s corpse puppet. The Infinite Hall gave him spirit vein essence to keep him in the domain, then asked what terms would persuade him to fight the Great Cosmos Immortal Dynasty.

Azure Origin sought a way to kill Heavenly Weight True Lord, prepared Li Yan for her future breakthrough, and refined a Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Stabilizing Pill in exchange for One-Eyed Flood Dragon blood essence. After gaining the dragon’s Annihilation Ray and hearing grim news from the front lines, he negotiated better battlefield rewards with the Infinite Hall and was left poised to join the war.
