After the cauldron produced an Ice-Attribute Spirit Root Fruit, Ye Han took the pill and noticed that the new shoots growing from the lid looked different.

• The Mysterious Woman woke briefly, criticized Ye Han’s cultivation and aptitude, refused to advise him, and sealed herself back inside the Water Spirit Coffin.
• Ye Han resumed cultivating and studying the Divine Insight Swordsmanship, while reflecting on his star-powered cultivation and his plans to advance to the Nascent Soul realm before venturing deeper into the Tower of Hell.

He remained unable to break through to great perfection and wondered whether he would have to use the Purple Cauldron’s Nascent Soul advancement fruit.

He swallowed the fruit, beginning to gestate a nascent soul as the tribulation clouds dispersed and a vast spiritual-energy vortex formed above the Medicine Garden.

• Ye Han examined the nearly ripe Nascent Soul Fruit and considered attempting a breakthrough because the Medicine Garden’s resources and spiritual energy were running low.

• A heavenly tribulation gathered beyond the Restriction Formation, and Ye Han worried that Teacher Lan Qing and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race fellow might discover the fruit.

• The Exquisite Treasure Pagoda absorbed the beams, filled with light across all seven tiers, and unleashed a gigantic phantom at the creature.
• Ye Han revealed that he had sent the others away because the Purple Cauldron had begun shaking violently when the creature appeared.

Ye Han used the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda, nested inside the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, to devour the death-aura shadow in the Spirit-Devouring Abyss, though the feat drained much of the Purple Cauldron’s power. He rescued Teacher Lan Qing from Centaur Monsters near the abyss’s edge, but the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race warned him to flee rather than fight the centaur undead.

• Ye Han discovered the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda trembling inside the Purple Cauldron and unleashed the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda at its urging.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda emerged within the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, destroyed the death-aura shadow, and devoured it along with its starlight and death aura.
• The Purple Cauldron restrained the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda, which then slammed the Mysterious Woman’s Water Spirit Coffin shut as she tried to escape.
• Ye Han replenished the Purple Cauldron’s depleted aura with pills and rushed toward the abyss’s edge, where Centaur Monsters were attacking Teacher Lan Qing.
• Ye Han blasted the Centaur Monsters away with the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race emerged and urged them to flee.

Ye Han, Teacher Lan Qing, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider escaped the Centaur Wraiths but found themselves trapped in a maze filled with lifespan-draining deathly energy.

• A Death Aura Storm swept through the passage, and Death Dolls charged at Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing with Soul-Summoning Banners.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race identified the Death Dolls, warned that they drained lifespan, and disappeared to hide.

Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing fought the Death Dolls as Centaur Wraiths caught up behind them. Ye Han unleashed demon-breaking divine thunder through the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, overwhelming the Death Dolls and turning them into greenlight rune beads.

• The Death Dolls attacked Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing with death aura that drained lifespan, while Teacher Lan Qing's Azure Lightning destroyed Skull Monsters but was devoured by the Dolls' blood-red skulls.
• The Dolls' illusion-inducing sound waves disoriented Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing until Ye Han used purple runes to protect his soul and divine sense.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race fellow returned and warned that Centaur Wraiths were pursuing them, prompting Teacher Lan Qing to curse him for bringing trouble.

• Ye Han sent the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda into the Death Dolls with demon-breaking divine thunder, destroying their blood-red skulls and sucking the Dolls inside.
• The divine thunder blasted the captured Death Dolls apart, leaving behind large beads of greenlight runes.

Ye Han used Demon-Breaking Divine Thunder to destroy death dolls and Centaur Wraiths, while the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race warned him about the King of Death. Afterward, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race tried to trade a lightning-attribute top-grade magic treasure for death spirit beads, but Ye Han rejected the offer as insufficient.

• Ye Han slaughtered the death dolls with Demon-Breaking Divine Thunder, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race warned that the King of Death might appear.
• Ye Han, Teacher Lan Qing, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race escaped through a passage after the thunder also overwhelmed the pursuing Centaur Wraiths.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race asked Ye Han for twenty-one death spirit beads, but Ye Han refused to give them away for free.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race offered a lightning-attribute top-grade magic treasure in exchange, but Ye Han rejected the trade as unfair.

Ye Han traded six Death Spirit Orbs for the Immortal-Thief Outsider’s Thunderclap Gloves while he and Teacher Lan Qing pressed the outsider about his hidden treasures.

• A violent tremor shook the maze from behind them, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider cried out that the King of Death was there.

Ye Han, Teacher Lan Qing, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider fled the Hell Messenger through the Death Maze, then chased a swift rabbit that might lead them to an escape route. The Hell Messenger continued smashing through the maze behind them as the rabbit suddenly accelerated and vanished ahead.

• Ye Han identified the pursuing being as the Hell Messenger rather than the King of Death, and the three companions fled as it battered its way into the Death Maze.
• Teacher Lan Qing guessed that the Hell Messenger had returned because the spirit medicine was gone, but none of them knew how it had tracked them.
• A white rabbit appeared at a distant passage, and Ye Han urged the others to follow it through the maze.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider recognized the rabbit as a member of the Big-Eared Moon Race, and Ye Han suspected the Hell Messenger might be chasing it instead of them.
• The rabbit's speed suddenly multiplied, and it vanished in a flash while the Hell Messenger's pursuit shook the maze.

Ye Han pursued the Big-Eared Moon Race rabbit through the Death Maze, believing it could lead him to an exit, while Teacher Lan Qing and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member trailed behind. After emerging into a barren canyon, Ye Han hesitated over whether to wait for them, but the Hell Messenger appeared nearby.

• Ye Han used his Nascent Soul power and Lightning God Steps to chase the Big-Eared Moon Race rabbit, leaving an aura trail for Teacher Lan Qing and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member.
