Ye Han learned from Teacher Lan Qing that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect had pledged allegiance to the Immortal Race and was watching the Azure Profound Sect, making his use of the Nine-Turn Vajra Art dangerous. After parting from Teacher Lan Qing, Ye Han built a concealed, heavily defended cave abode so he could cultivate and deal with the chaos inside the Purple Cauldron.

• Teacher Lan Qing warned Ye Han not to use the Nine-Turn Vajra Art because the Northern Lu Immortal Sect served the Immortal Race and monitored the Azure Profound Sect.

• Ye Han sat inside the Azure Profound Divine Palace and took out a bead covered in purple runes to address the chaos inside the Purple Cauldron.

Ye Han let the Purple Cauldron absorb the Purple Bead, restoring and transforming it enough to suppress the Mysterious Woman and immobilize the Small Cauldron. He then turned to the demonic backlash threatening his arm and began considering a complicated treatment.

• Ye Han recognized that the Purple Bead was an extraordinary treasure that the Purple Cauldron intensely craved.
• Ye Han allowed the Purple Cauldron to absorb the Purple Bead, replenishing much of its aura and strengthening it.
• The Purple Cauldron pressed down the Mysterious Woman's coffin and restrained the Small Cauldron, absorbing its aura and material.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda stopped attacking the Small Cauldron and settled on the Water Spirit Coffin to suppress it.
• Ye Han found that the Gods-and-Devils Hand was releasing demonic qi into his badly injured arm, threatening to demonize it and disrupt his Five Elements cultivation.
• Ye Han considered treating his arm with the Baleful Spirit Pearl, a better ice-attribute cultivation method, the Purple Cauldron, the Immortal Spirit Qi Bowl, and pills.

After suppressing the Gods-and-Devils Hand’s demonization, Ye Han assessed the severe frostbite still crippling his right arm and considered how to recover. He examined the profound Cold Art manual and reviewed the improvements to his Purple Cauldron Space, leaving him with new cultivation and research goals.

• Ye Han ended more than a year of effort by suppressing the Gods-and-Devils Hand’s demonization, though his frostbitten right arm remained nearly frozen and unresponsive.
• Ye Han concluded that recovering his arm required a cultivation technique stronger than the Ice God Spirit Art and a genuine understanding of ice-attribute power of law.
• Ye Han took out the Cold Art manual he had found among the Chaos King’s spoils and judged it to be extraordinarily profound, but he had not yet deciphered it.
• Ye Han noted that the Purple Cauldron Space had grown more stable and spanned over thirty thousand zhang, with a small area of land amid water spirit liquid and faint warm light.
• Ye Han had metal puppets record the runes on the Crescent Moon Divine Vessel so he could later study its formations and artifact-refining knowledge.

Ye Han focused on recovering and strengthening his cultivation in the Heavenly Secret Hall while refining his Life-Bound Treasure with a purple-gold thunderclap stone. As the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel neared completion, a Heavenly Tribulation suddenly descended.

• Ye Han reflected on his injuries, his gains from defeating the Hell Messenger and Chaos King, and the allies who had helped him.
• Ye Han resolved to focus on recovery and cultivation while pursuing a way to restore Fairy Ningyu with the Soul-Restoring Pill.
• Ye Han began merging the purple-gold thunderclap stone into his Five Elements Golden Cudgel using the Heavenfire Treasure Refining Furnace.
• Ye Han sensed a Heavenly Tribulation just as the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel neared completion.

Ye Han’s refinement of the Five Elements Golden Cudgel triggered a fierce heavenly tribulation, forcing him to defend himself while completing the treasure. After blocking two strikes with his Thunderclap Divine Armor and demon-breaking divine thunder, he faced an even more powerful bolt and wondered whether to retreat into the Purple Cauldron Space.

• Ye Han continued refining the Five Elements Golden Cudgel as red tribulation clouds gathered overhead.
• The first lightning strike destroyed Ye Han’s defensive formations but failed to break through the Azure Profound Divine Palace’s barrier.
• Ye Han used purple-gold lightning to finish strengthening the cudgel as the angry tribulation clouds prepared a second strike.
• Ye Han flew out of the Azure Profound Divine Palace and blocked the second bolt with his Thunderclap Divine Armor and demon-breaking divine thunder.
• The Azure Profound Divine Palace released a pillar of five-colored spirit light as the heavens unleashed a much stronger third bolt, leaving Ye Han considering hiding the cudgel in the Purple Cauldron Space.

Ye Han forged the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel and used it to shatter his Heavenly Tribulation before escaping the Heavenly Secret Hall. He reached the Teleportation Array and, as he prepared to leave for the Earth Realm, sensed someone hiding nearby.

• The Five Elements Golden Cudgel absorbed the purple-gold thunderclap stone and became the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel.
• Ye Han wielded the cudgel to destroy the descending tribulation bolt and blast a hole through the thunderclouds, stopping the Heavenly Tribulation from gathering again.
• Ye Han decided to leave the Heavenly Secret Hall, cleared away traces of his damaged defenses, and used a Token to vanish.
• A greedy figure appeared at the site of the tribulation, searched for the missing treasure, and disappeared as the region grew restless.
• Ye Han emerged at the Teleportation Array and planned to seek Elder Liu’s guidance and pursue ways to heal his injured arm.
• As Ye Han prepared to activate the array, he called out to a hidden fellow cultivator.

Ye Han discovered a clone tampering with the Teleportation Array and fought to subdue him. The clone revealed he belonged to Dao Tianji of the Northern Lu Immortal Sect, and Ye Han recognized the sect as one that had allied with the Immortal Race.

• Ye Han sensed an ambush near the Teleportation Array, pierced a Golden Light Rune barrier with a sword of divine sense, and forced out a white-robed middle-aged man.
• Ye Han accused the man of tampering with the array and demanded that he undo it, but the man demanded the Teleportation Token instead.
• Ye Han attacked as the man escaped with golden runes, then trapped him inside a Five-Element Formation that blocked his spell power.
• Ye Han summoned the Thousand Illusion Heavenly Bell and had its demon kings tear apart the man’s clone.
• The white-robed middle-aged man revealed he was a clone of Dao Tianji of the Northern Lu Immortal Sect and threatened Ye Han as the attack continued.

Ye Han killed Dao Tianji’s clone and removed the Eight-Monster Formation from the Teleportation Array before entering the passage. Dao Tianji discovered both losses and sent a Golden Light Talisman after Ye Han, who sensed a frightening power approaching.

• Dao Tianji strengthened a Golden Light Talisman with his essence blood and sent its dragon-serpent shadow after Ye Han.
• Ye Han traveled through the Teleportation Passage with the eight ancient demon beast souls he had removed from the array, then sensed a frightening power approaching.

Ye Han captured Dao Tianji’s Dragon God Talisman inside his Purple Runes Vortex while traveling through the teleportation passage, making its aura disappear. Dao Tianji tracked the talisman’s intermittent return to the Teleportation Array and sent a Messaging Talisman, hoping to negotiate for Ye Han’s Teleportation Token.

• Ye Han slowed down so the pursuing Dragon God Talisman entered his body, then trapped it inside his Purple Runes Vortex.
• Dao Tianji realized the talisman had vanished and suspected Ye Han had hidden it in a spatial treasure.
• Dao Tianji remembered that he needed Ye Han’s Teleportation Token and resolved not to let him escape.
• Dao Tianji sensed the Dragon God Talisman’s aura reappear at the Teleportation Array and flew toward it.
• The talisman’s aura repeatedly vanished and returned as Dao Tianji traveled, frustrating him.
• Dao Tianji sent a Messaging Talisman to contact Ye Han and consider trading for the Teleportation Token.

Ye Han used the Dragon-Snake Shadow to draw Dao Tianji into revealing that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect wanted his Teleportation Token. As Ye Han prepared to leave without meeting Dao Tianji, the latter arrived and attacked with his divine sense.

• Ye Han released the Dragon-Snake Shadow and discovered that its master was using it to track him.
• Ye Han answered Dao Tianji’s Messaging Talismans while refusing to meet until Dao Tianji disclosed his purpose.
• Dao Tianji revealed that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect wanted to exchange for Ye Han’s Teleportation Token.
• Ye Han decided to keep the token and leave, intending to investigate its secrets further.
• Dao Tianji arrived and sent a powerful surge of divine sense toward Ye Han.

Ye Han escaped Dao Tianji by activating the Teleportation Array before Dao Tianji could break through his defenses. After arriving elsewhere, Ye Han realized the Teleportation Token showed a map connected to the Tower of Hell and the Primordial Ancient Beast, while Dao Tianji prepared to hunt him at the Heavenly Secret Hall exits.

• Ye Han used formations, puppets, and talismans to delay Dao Tianji while he activated the Teleportation Array.
• Dao Tianji broke through Ye Han's defenses, but arrived after Ye Han had already teleported away.
• Dao Tianji sent talismans ahead and ordered the Northern Lu Immortal Sect to guard exits from the Heavenly Secret Hall.
• Ye Han inspected the Teleportation Token's map and connected it to the Tower of Hell, the Metal Block, and the sealed Primordial Ancient Beast.
• Ye Han realized the Teleportation Array might no longer be usable and worried that Dao Tianji would have the exits guarded.

Ye Han escaped the Heavenly Secret Hall with a Teleportation Talisman and arrived in the Earth Realm, eager to recover and search for materials to awaken Fairy Ningyu. After reuniting with White Snow, who had reached the Demon Emperor realm, Ye Han set off with him to find land and explore.

• Ye Han used a Teleportation Talisman to escape Dao Tianji and emerged from a spatial vortex above the sea in the Earth Realm.
• Ye Han decided to leave the Heavenly Secret Hall because he was injured, needed to refine a Soul-Restoring Pill for Fairy Ningyu, and wanted to avoid further danger.
• Ye Han summoned White Snow from the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Pagoda and discovered that he had advanced to the Demon Emperor realm.
• Ye Han climbed onto White Snow's back and told him to find land so they could wander through the Earth Realm.

The Sea King came under attack from sea beasts, including the demon emperor Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor, until a young man arrived and drove the threat into the sea. As he fought underwater, his white bird and another freezing attack joined the battle, and the female cultivator recognized him.

• The cultivators aboard the Sea King struggled to fend off the sea beasts as their defensive formation weakened and their messages for help failed.
• The Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor appeared and charged the Sea King, withstanding its spirit cannons as the cultivators feared the ship would be destroyed.
• A golden sword strike smashed the Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor's fangs and hurled him far away, then the young man behind the attack pursued him underwater.
• The young man battled the Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor beneath the sea while an enormous white bird attacked the other sea beasts and devoured their demon beast souls and cores.
• A huge column of water froze the surrounding sea, and the female cultivator exclaimed that she recognized the young man.

Ye Han killed the Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor and saved the Sea King Sect disciples, then learned he had arrived on the Northern Lu Province Continent. The Young Sect Master, Murong Xian, recognized him from a portrait but hesitated when he asked about it.

• Ye Han broke free of the ice and took the Sharp-Toothed Fish Emperor's heart for the Soul-Restoring Pill before storing the beast's other remains for later use.
• Ye Han called White Snow away from the remaining sea beasts and prepared to leave.
• Murong Xian called Ye Han back and thanked him on behalf of the Sea King Sect.
• Ye Han realized he was on the Northern Lu Province Continent and freed the Sea King from the ice.
• Ye Han asked Murong Xian how she knew him, and she said she had seen his portrait in the sect.
• Murong Xian hesitated when Ye Han asked what portrait she had seen.

Ye Han learned that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect had issued a wanted notice for Ye Tianyu, a man who looked like him and might be his birth father. He agreed to visit the Sea King Sect to see the notice, then asked Murong Xian why their ship had been attacked in an area she said should be safe.

• Murong Xian privately told Ye Han that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect had issued a wanted notice bearing a portrait like his.
• After dismissing the others and raising a Restrictive Barrier, Ye Han learned the notice named Ye Tianyu.
• Ye Han recognized Ye Tianyu as the man connected to his origins and told Murong Xian they were not the same person.
• Ye Han asked to visit the Sea King Sect and inspect the wanted notice, and Murong Xian invited him aboard their ship.
• Murong Xian asked Ye Han to protect the ship during its voyage, and Ye Han questioned why it had been attacked in a supposedly safe area.

Ye Han learned that sea demons had plunged the Earth Realm into chaos and that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect had placed a remarkable bounty on Ye Tianyu, who was apparently still alive. As the Sea King approached a vast island, Ye Han sensed the Purple Cauldron trembling faintly.

• Murong Xian told Ye Han that sea demons and demon forces had attacked the continents for over a hundred years, while the Sea King Sect faced increasingly frequent assaults.
• Ye Han worried about the Azure Profound Sect and reconsidered returning to the Heaven's Mandate Continent after learning that Ye Tianyu was wanted by the Northern Lu Immortal Sect.
• Murong Xian revealed that the bounty for Ye Tianyu included a heaven-connecting spirit treasure and a high-ranking position in the Northern Lu Immortal Sect.
• Ye Han sensed a gathering of sea demons and ordered White Snow to kill them and preserve the Demon Kings' souls and primordial spirits.
• The Sea King sailed toward a vast island, and Ye Han felt the Purple Cauldron in his divine sense sea begin to tremble.

Ye Han reached Sea King Island with Murong Xian and met her father, Murong Haiyue, the Sea King Sect's master. At a banquet, Ye Han asked to see the wanted notice for Ye Tianyu, whose identity had a connection to him.

• Ye Han sensed that a treasure on Sea King Island interested the Purple Cauldron, then concealed its perception as he left the ship.
• Murong Xian introduced Ye Han to her father, Murong Haiyue, who thanked him for saving her and invited him to the Sea King Sect.
• Ye Han and White Snow followed Murong Haiyue to the sect, where they attended a welcoming banquet.
• Ye Han asked Murong Haiyue to show him the wanted notice for Ye Tianyu, and Murong Haiyue produced it and explained that he had not ordered his disciples to pursue Ye Tianyu.

Ye Han learned that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect had hunted Ye Tianyu for decades, apparently seeking a rare treasure or secrets of ascension. Hoping the Azure Phoenix Fairy could lead him to Ye Tianyu, Ye Han asked about her, and Murong Xian revealed she knew the name.

• Ye Han examined Ye Tianyu's wanted notice and noticed how closely the portrait resembled him.
• Murong Haiyue told Ye Han that the notice had been issued thirty-nine years earlier and that the Northern Lu Immortal Sect wanted Ye Tianyu for a rumored treasure or secrets of ascension.
• Ye Han concluded that Ye Tianyu was still on the Northern Lu Province Continent and reasoned that the Azure Phoenix Fairy might know where to find him.
• Murong Haiyue offered Ye Han a place to stay and promised to have his disciples gather information about Ye Tianyu, but Ye Han said that was unnecessary.
• Ye Han asked Murong Haiyue whether he knew the Azure Phoenix Fairy, and Murong Xian reacted with surprise and asked whether Ye Han knew her.

Ye Han stayed at the Sea King Sect while Murong Haiyue sought information about Ye Tianyu and the Azure Phoenix Fairy, and Ye Han studied alchemy for the Soul-Restoring Pill. Murong Haiyue and Murong Xian discussed whether Ye Han could be trusted with a matter they had yet to reveal.

• Murong Xian told Ye Han that the Azure Phoenix Fairy had saved her life 120 years earlier, and recounted how they met.
• Ye Han stayed at the Sea King Sect so Murong Haiyue could investigate Ye Tianyu and the Azure Phoenix Fairy and so Ye Han could pursue a treasure of interest to the Purple Cauldron.
• Murong Haiyue gave Ye Han valuable Sea King Sect resources, while Ye Han turned away the female cultivators assigned to attend him.
• Ye Han studied an ancient alchemy manual to improve his chances of refining the Soul-Restoring Pill, whose rare ingredients allowed only three attempts.
• Murong Haiyue asked Murong Xian whether Ye Han was trustworthy, and she advised building a good relationship with him.
• Murong Haiyue asked Murong Xian whether Ye Han could be entrusted with an undisclosed matter.

Murong Xian and Murong Haiyue weighed using the Blood Spirit Cannon against the threat to the Sea King Sect and decided to seek Ye Han’s help. Meanwhile, the Third Young Master learned that Ye Han might be the wanted Ye Tianyu and asked for information about Murong Xian.

• Murong Xian told Murong Haiyue that the sect could not rely on Ye Han’s protection and proposed asking him for help despite the risk of revealing the Murong Household’s secret.
• Murong Xian left to prepare the Spirit Cannon, while Murong Haiyue sent a Messaging Talisman and suspected someone was behind the Sea King’s unrest.
• The Third Young Master questioned an old man about Ye Han and the White Bird Demon Emperor, then heard that Ye Han might be the wanted Ye Tianyu.
• The Third Young Master ordered the old man not to leak the information and asked what he had learned about Murong Xian.

Ye Han perfected his alchemy while refining a batch of Six-Turn True Qi Pills, achieving a complete success and breaking through a bottleneck. Murong Xian then told him that Azure Phoenix Fairy was in trouble, leaving Ye Han demanding to know what had happened.

• Ye Han used divine sense and nascent soul fire to control unstable energies while refining the Six-Turn True Qi Pills.
• Ye Han successfully refined every pill in the batch, producing more than twenty crystal-clear pills with spiritual nature and advancing his alchemy mastery.
• Ye Han sensed that Murong Xian had waited outside for more than ten days and opened the restriction formation for her.
• Murong Xian told Ye Han that they had learned Azure Phoenix Fairy's situation was bad, and Ye Han asked her to explain.
