Li Xiaoya read the books Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang had brought and learned that he was trapped in the Fallen Immortal Grounds, where Spiritual Qi and cultivators’ powers were sealed. He decided to seek out the Immortal Martial Schools for answers, while worrying that Zhang Hong, Liu Xian’er, and the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma were also trapped and unreachable.

• Li Xiaoya concluded that a Tianyuan Gate representative would attend the Hundred Clans Tournament and waited in Golden Sun City instead of seeking out Young Master Tianshang and Young Master Yang.
• The Hundred Clans Tournament began at the huge arena in the center of Golden Sun City, while Li Xiaoya watched from a cloud and searched the crowd for someone from the Tianyuan Gate.
• A gigantic silver, bird-shaped flying treasure arrived above the venue, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of it as Li Xiaoya prepared to approach.

Li Xiaoya watched a mysterious, immensely powerful young man stop the Flying Divine Bird and question Tianyuan Gate disciples about Immortal Cultivators from the Race Battlefield.

• After two days of competition, Xiao Zhu, Young Master Tianshang, and Young Master Yang made the top ten, and the announcer paired Xiao Zhu against Young Master Yang.

After the Hundred Clans Tournament, Li Xiaoya secretly followed the Tianyuan Gate’s Flying Divine Bird across the ocean, hoping to reach the sect while studying his blood-force flight technique. As he learned more about its strain on the heart, he sensed three Giant Dragons racing toward the Flying Divine Bird and flew ahead to help.

• Xiao Zhu defeated Young Master Yang and Young Master Tianshang in the tournament, while Li Xiaoya noticed that using her blood power strained her heart.
• Xiao Zhu won first place, Young Master Tianshang placed second, and Young Master Yang placed sixth; the Tianyuan Gate’s martial artists later invited the three young competitors to join them.
• The Tianyuan Gate’s martial artists departed Golden Sun City aboard the Flying Divine Bird with Young Master Tianshang and the others, while Li Xiaoya followed from behind to avoid revealing himself.
• Li Xiaoya followed the Flying Divine Bird across a vast ocean and realized that blood-force cultivation increasingly burdened the heart and internal organs, prompting him to plan ways to protect his heart.
• Li Xiaoya heard something approaching and recognized three Giant Dragons racing toward the Flying Divine Bird, so he flew up through the clouds to support its passengers.

• A blue giant dragon declared that none of the humans would escape.

• Li Xiaoya smashed the dragon’s eye with thousands of punches, sending the wounded dragon flying and howling in pain.

• Li Xiaoya punched Third Brother in the eye, severely wounding it, then dove into the sea to evade the other two Giant Dragons.

• The three Giant Dragons chased Li Xiaoya across the sea as Third Brother vowed to capture and torture him.

Li Xiaoya discovered the Secret Realm Necklace containing Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong had been knocked into the sea while three Giant Dragons pursued him. Unable to retrieve a weapon, he transformed his severed hand into a blood sword and met their water-column attack with sword strikes.

• Li Xiaoya realized the water column had likely knocked the Secret Realm Necklace off him, leaving Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong lost at sea.
• Li Xiaoya decided he had to deal with the pursuing Giant Dragons before he could search for the necklace.

• The three Giant Dragons fired massive water columns at Li Xiaoya as they closed in.
• Li Xiaoya sprang above the water and unleashed hundreds of enormous sword rays from his Severed-Hand Blood Sword toward the water columns.

Li Xiaoya killed the One-Eyed Dragon with a slash to its reverse scale, then fought off the two surviving Giant Dragons before hiding beneath the seabed. The dragons left with their dead brother, while Li Xiaoya emerged from the sand and gravel, weakened by the strain of the Blood Power Cultivation Method.

• Li Xiaoya charged the One-Eyed Dragon and severed most of its neck with a slash to its reverse scale, killing it.
• The two surviving Giant Dragons attacked Li Xiaoya with their tails, and he countered with a storm of Sword Rays that cut into their scales.

• Li Xiaoya emerged from a submerged reef and realized that the Blood Power Cultivation Method had severely strained his heart.

Li Xiaoya returned to the seabed to search for his lost Secret Realm Necklace, which held Zhang Hong and Liu Xian'er. A mysterious blue light froze him and the surrounding sea, but as a vast vortex sent spiritual energy toward the necklace, his divine sense and magic power began to recover.

• Li Xiaoya hurried back to the place where he had fought the Giant Dragons to look for the Secret Realm Necklace.

• Li Xiaoya spotted a blue light and swam toward it, only for an icy burst to freeze him and the surrounding sea.
• A huge vortex formed above the sea, and streams of blue light flowed toward the Secret Realm Necklace as Liu Xian'er advanced to the next stage inside it.
• Li Xiaoya remained trapped in the ice but felt his divine sense and magic power slowly recover.

Li Xiaoya discovered that Liu Xian'er’s advancement to the Heaven-and-Earth Realm was briefly weakening the restrictions sealing his power, but that the restrictions would return when her heavenly tribulation ended. Unable to draw out the Fire Dragon Sword, he managed to force it away from his head as it began darting through his body.

• Li Xiaoya sensed Liu Xian'er advancing inside the Secret Realm Necklace and realized her heavenly tribulation was letting some of his magic power and divine sense recover.
• Liu Xian'er began her advancement after she and Zhang Hong lost contact with Li Xiaoya and feared he was in trouble.

• Li Xiaoya could not extract the Fire Dragon Sword, but he used his limited power to drive it away from his head.
• The Fire Dragon Sword darted through Li Xiaoya's body and seemed to be trying to fly out.

Li Xiaoya lost his magic power and divine sense after Liu Xian'er succeeded in advancing to the Heaven-and-Earth Realm, leaving him trapped in ice created by her water law. As the freezing power began to threaten his life, he tried to activate the Blood Power Cultivation Method but found that his blood had frozen solid.

• Li Xiaoya pulled the Dragon-Horned Bone Dragon Slash, a Breastplate, and other items from his Storage Ring before his magic power and divine sense vanished.
• Liu Xian'er completed her advancement, and she and Zhang Hong heard Li Xiaoya's message that he was trapped somewhere he could not use magic power or divine sense.
• Zhang Hong went into seclusion to cultivate, while Liu Xian'er settled down to stabilize her new realm and thought that she would wait for Li Xiaoya.
• Li Xiaoya grew numb inside the ice, realized it came from the water law unleashed during Liu Xian'er's advancement, and fought off the urge to fall asleep.
• Li Xiaoya attempted to use the Blood Power Cultivation Method to escape, but discovered that the blood in his vessels had frozen solid.

Trapped in ice infused with the water law, Li Xiaoya devised the Boiling Blood cultivation method to generate heat, refine his essence blood, and repair his injuries. His deductions suggested that Blood Power Cultivation might lead to an undying body in the Fallen Immortal Grounds, leaving him to wonder whether he could already be considered immortal there.

• Li Xiaoya found that the water law’s icy power had congealed his blood, preventing him from circulating his blood force.
• Li Xiaoya recalled how the Fire Yang Art generated heat and deduced a method using rapid blood circulation and muscle contractions.
• Over half a month, Li Xiaoya cultivated Boiling Blood inside a vast frozen island, enduring intense pain as his body resisted the cold.
• Li Xiaoya realized Boiling Blood could speed up the refinement of his essence blood and restore his weakened muscles and vitality.
• Li Xiaoya deduced that Blood Power Cultivation might grant an undying body without a heavenly tribulation and wondered whether he was already immortal in the Fallen Immortal Grounds.

Li Xiaoya continued refining his essence blood inside the iceberg, rejecting eternal life confined to the Fallen Immortal Grounds and using Elder Demon Beast essence blood to heal his injuries. A curious pale-blue-scaled dragon was frozen in the surrounding waters, while two Blue Giant Dragons rushed to rescue it, mistaking the ice sculpture for the Little Dragon Lord.

• Li Xiaoya resolved that true immortality meant freedom beyond the Fallen Immortal Grounds, and his willpower surged as he continued converting his essence blood into blood force.
• A pale-blue-scaled dragon investigating the sudden cold was struck by an icy wave and frozen into a giant ice sculpture.
• Two Blue Giant Dragons hurried toward human territory, then found the frozen dragon and carried the ice sculpture away in alarm.
• After more than two months, Li Xiaoya had converted seventy to eighty percent of his essence blood into blood force, but had recovered only twenty to thirty percent of his injuries.
• Li Xiaoya discovered that most of the containers he had brought out held Elder Demon Beast essence blood, poured it into the ice, and absorbed it to aid his recovery.
