• The expanding space vortex swept Li Xiaoya through the rift, while its suction spread across thousands of miles of the Race Battlefield.

Qianyu Taizu watched the enormous space vortex and received the arrival of Heavenly Beauty Immortal Tianmei Taoren, who entered the vortex seeking the treasure. Tianmei Taoren found dragon hide and reached the Fallen Immortal Grounds, where his avatar became trapped.

• Qianyu Taizu kept the Ancient Flying Boat beyond the vortex’s suction and wondered what had happened to Li Xiaoya.
• Tianmei Taoren appeared in the sky, demanded to know about the treasure, and entered the space vortex despite its violent currents.
• Qianyu Taizu concealed the unconscious Dong Santong and then steered the flying boat toward the vortex.

• Tianmei Taoren discovered the Fallen Immortal Grounds, approached its gray gas, and later realized his avatar could not escape.

The Race Battlefield was shaken by reports that Li Xiaoya killed Yan Longzi with a Primordial Artifact and was then sucked into a space vortex while carrying it. A fifteen-star mission to rescue the True Immortal Tianmei Taoren halted fighting near the vortex, and Li Xiaoya crashed into a primeval forest before two figures approached.

• Li Xiaoya’s reported killing of Yan Longzi worsened tensions between the Human Race and Dragon Race, and their battle near the Windspirit Continent left both sides with heavy losses.
• The Race Heavenly Stele issued a fifteen-star mission to rescue Tianmei Taoren and banned fighting within a hundred thousand li of the space vortex.
• Cultivators learned that Tianmei Taoren was a True Immortal trapped in the vortex and that Li Xiaoya had reportedly entered it with a Primordial Artifact.
• The Human Race rose to first place in total merit, while the Dragon Race fell to third after Yan Longzi’s death disrupted its Second Unit.
• Li Xiaoya shot out of the space vortex and crashed headfirst into a forest, where two dark figures approached his crater a little over two hours later.

After being swept into a space vortex, Li Xiaoya survived in a remote martial city but found himself unable to sense spiritual qi, use magic power, or contact the companions and treasures inside his body. Months later he finally opened his eyes and began trying to regain movement, while his two young rescuers returned to his room.

• Li Xiaoya was found badly injured in a huge crater by Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang, who carried him to their city and hoped to learn immortal arts from him.
• As Li Xiaoya lay unconscious for months, Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang repeatedly brought him healing pills and discussed becoming his disciples.
• Li Xiaoya gradually understood the youths' language and realized he was in a mortal land where martial arts were practiced but no Immortal Cultivators seemed to exist.
• After four or five months, Li Xiaoya opened his eyes but could not sit up, sense spiritual qi, use magic power, or activate his divine sense.
• Li Xiaoya called for Guagua, Liu Xian'er, and Zhang Hong, but none answered, leaving him unable to access help or the treasures inside his body.
• After lying idle for another two or three days, Li Xiaoya heard footsteps and the door opened as two figures entered.

Li Xiaoya woke after months of unconsciousness and met Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang, the Huayuan martial artists who had saved him. Still unable to move or use his cultivation, he concealed his true condition and left the two convinced he was a peerless master, just as they asked him to teach them martial arts.

• Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang excitedly questioned Li Xiaoya when he woke, and he calmly thanked them for saving him.
• Li Xiaoya vaguely described himself as half a Huayuan Person and refused to discuss how he had been injured.
• Li Xiaoya declined their offer of medicine, asked for fruit, and had them help him sit cross-legged to aid his recovery.
• Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang mistook Li Xiaoya's bearing for that of a high-level master and asked him to guide their martial arts training.
• Li Xiaoya was stumped because he knew nothing about their mortal martial arts.

Li Xiaoya watched Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang demonstrate their martial arts, then identified flaws in both techniques and advised them how to improve. The two young men gained guidance as they prepared for their lineage competition.

• Li Xiaoya agreed to guide Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang after considering their upcoming competition and their need for help.
• Young Master Tianshang demonstrated a powerful fist routine fueled by blood and vital energy, which Li Xiaoya judged comparable to an ordinary late condensed core cultivator.
• Young Master Yang demonstrated an icy, nimble palm technique that seemed to contain a trace of the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
• Li Xiaoya told Young Master Tianshang to improve his footwork because his lower body lagged behind his punches and weakened the technique.
• Li Xiaoya told Young Master Yang that he overemphasized variations and needed to balance feints with substance to restore power to his palm strikes.

Li Xiaoya concealed his inability to use magic power while Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang left, hoping to learn more from him. Unable to recover or contact his companions, he studied their blood-based cultivation method and, after several days, discovered that willpower drove it.

• Li Xiaoya sent Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang away to recover, and they left hoping to seek his guidance again.
• Outside the courtyard, Young Master Tianshang admitted he wanted a cultivation method, while Young Master Yang urged caution and worried about their upcoming lineage competition.
• Li Xiaoya overheard their conversation and decided not to teach them until he could recover, assess their immortal roots, and protect himself.
• Unable to circulate magic power or move, Li Xiaoya began studying how their method controlled qi and blood, hoping it might speed his recovery and improve his body-tempering cultivation.
• After three or four days of experimentation, Li Xiaoya realized that the method was driven by willpower.

Li Xiaoya developed a cultivation method that used willpower to control his blood, but discovered that the surrounding air contained no spiritual qi. The chapter left him pretending to meditate as someone approached his room.

• After days of questioning and experimentation, Li Xiaoya realized that willpower could drive blood circulation and began testing the method.
• Li Xiaoya’s first attempt made his veins bulge and his body turn red, so he stopped and concluded he had applied too much force.
• Over the following days, Li Xiaoya refined the blood-control method and used raised blood vessels to form patterns meant to absorb spiritual qi.
• Li Xiaoya’s formations absorbed no spiritual qi, and he wondered whether the Fire Dragon Sword was connected to its absence.
• When Li Xiaoya sensed someone approaching, he closed his eyes and pretended to meditate.

Li Xiaoya used his imposing presence and a staged display of power to make Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang more deferential, then critiqued their martial arts. He sought access to their lineage cultivation methods to improve his own, and the chapter ended with both men hesitating to reveal them.

• Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang brought fruit and asked Li Xiaoya for more instruction, while he warned them to keep his presence secret.
• Young Master Yang asked to become Li Xiaoya's disciple, but Li Xiaoya rejected him and sent him flying with a hidden vibration.
• Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang demonstrated their techniques, and Li Xiaoya identified flaws in their moves and cultivation methods.
• Young Master Yang and Young Master Tianshang asked Li Xiaoya to teach them a better cultivation method, and he instead asked to inspect theirs.
• Young Master Yang hesitated over sharing his lineage's secret method, and Li Xiaoya dismissed them until Young Master Yang called for him to wait.
