• Earth Spirit Venerable’s saber-light pierced Ye Han’s fist barrier qi, but Dao Follows Nature guided Ye Han into an emptiness state that let him evade the fatal strike.
• Ye Han’s fist barrier qi struck Earth Spirit Venerable and sent him flying, though Earth Spirit Venerable recovered and was shocked that his attack had failed.

• Ye Han summoned the Absolute Frost Divine Sword, spreading terrifying chilling qi throughout the formation as he prepared to kill Earth Spirit Venerable swiftly.

Ye Han killed Earth Spirit Venerable with the Absolute Frost Divine Sword, then escaped the spreading ice with the Venerable’s corpse and Immortal-Slaying Saber. After treating the sword’s backlash, he wondered whether Earth Spirit Venerable’s storage bag contained a way to reach the Third Heaven.

• Earth Spirit Venerable was frozen and unable to use his spell power as Ye Han’s Absolute Frost Divine Sword struck him down.

• Ye Han escaped to ruined buildings and examined the Immortal-Slaying Saber he had taken from Earth Spirit Venerable.
• The Absolute Frost Divine Sword’s backlash injured Ye Han’s meridians, so he used light-attribute spell power and flames to counter it.
• Ye Han wondered whether Earth Spirit Venerable’s storage bag held a way to enter the Third Heaven.

Ye Han recovered from the Absolute Frost Divine Sword’s backlash while refining Earth Spirit Venerable’s frozen corpse and then began opening the treasures he had looted. He broke through the first storage bag’s powerful Divine Sense Mark, revealing a huge haul, though he still hoped to find a way into the Third Heaven.

• Ye Han used Ninefold Lightness to escape Earth Spirit Venerable’s gravity formation and reasoned that it had increased his weight rather than altered gravity.
• Ye Han hid in secluded ruins, released Earth Spirit Venerable’s corpse from the Ghost Skull Mirror, and placed it in the Treasure Refining Furnace to thaw.
• After three months of cultivation, Ye Han had healed less than half of his injuries and finished refining the ice from Earth Spirit Venerable’s corpse.
• Ye Han removed eight storage bags, at least twenty-three spatial treasures, and other equipment from the corpse.
• Ye Han repeatedly attacked the Divine Sense Mark sealing a storage bag until he opened it and discovered a huge haul.

Ye Han searched the Earth Spirit Venerable’s spatial treasures for a way into the Third Heaven and found valuable cultivation resources, including a Nine-Layer Fruit and the Earth God Flawless Art. He eventually uncovered the promised method: enormous Spirit Cannon components and a hide depicting the weapon, though how it could lead to the Third Heaven remained unclear.

• Ye Han found a Nine-Layer Fruit in the Earth Spirit Venerable’s Storage Bag and sent it to his clone to refine Lightness Pills.

• Ye Han opened a Space Ring and released enormous metal components, followed by a demon-beast hide bearing a complex drawing of a Spirit Cannon.

Ye Han spent decades recovering, cultivating, and charging the Restriction-Breaking Spirit Cannon to break into the third heaven. As the cannon remained only partly charged, Saint As reached the Void Refinement Stage without triggering a heavenly tribulation, revealing a way for Ye Han to restore his normal lifespan.

• Ye Han assembled the Restriction-Breaking Spirit Cannon and had his clone and White Fairy build a formation to feed it spiritual energy while he recovered from the Absolute Frost Divine Sword's backlash.
• Ye Han's clone refined Earth Spirit Venerable's spoils into pills, allowing Ye Han to resume cultivating the fifth layer of Ninefold Lightness as the cannon slowly charged.
• Over the next thirty years, Ye Han mastered the fifth layer of Ninefold Lightness and the second layer of the Earth God Flawless Art, established the Myriad Treasures Formation, and advanced to the middle stage of his current Void Refinement layer.
• The formation drained the Second Heaven's spiritual energy, but about a tenth of the cannon's red runes remained uncharged, so Ye Han decided to supplement it with energy from the Purple Cauldron Space.
• Saint As broke through to the Void Refinement Stage without triggering a heavenly tribulation, and Ye Han realized this could restore his normal lifespan.

Ye Han learned how Saint As had reached the Void Refinement Stage without triggering a heavenly tribulation, then used the restriction-breaking Spirit Cannon to enter the Third Heaven. The cannonball burst apart after breaking through, and Ye Han reached the Third Heaven.

• Saint As split his divine soul, divine sense, Nascent Soul, and physical body to advance each separately, then fused them into a Void Refinement Stage cultivator without triggering a heavenly tribulation.
• Ye Han realized his own missing lifespan came from advancing without undergoing tribulations and decided to ask Saint As how to make up for it later.
• Ye Han sensed a change in the Three Heavens and accelerated the restriction-breaking Spirit Cannon's energy supply until its red rune turned blue.
• Ye Han entered a golden metal cannonball, strengthened his defenses, and used the cannon's Token to fire himself toward a weak point in the Third Heaven.
• The cannonball blasted through the sky and rocks, then burst apart and hurled Ye Han into the Third Heaven.

Ye Han entered the Third Heaven, endured its crushing gravity, and searched for the great opportunity recorded by Earth Spirit Venerable. After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, he found an immense lake of spirit liquid that seemed to be the source of the realm’s abundant spiritual energy, but sensed danger within it.

• Ye Han broke through into the Third Heaven, where its two-thousand-times gravity battered him and shattered his treasure shoes when he fell to the ground.
• Ye Han realized that the Third Heaven’s abundant spiritual energy must come from a powerful source and recalled Earth Spirit Venerable’s record of a great opportunity there.
• Ye Han used the third level of Ninefold Lightness to follow a faint trace of water spiritual energy while his spell power and supplies rapidly dwindled.
• After more than ten days and hundreds of thousands of miles, Ye Han reached an enormous lake whose water was entirely spirit liquid.
• Ye Han sensed danger and suffocation coming from the lake and wondered whether the great opportunity lay inside it.

Ye Han tested the lake’s deadly waters, then found a giant statue of a woman with a serpent tail while searching for a way around it. When both Purple Cauldrons reacted to the statue, it began to awaken and turned its blood-red gaze toward him.

• Ye Han hurled a Metal Puppet over the lake, and a water pillar destroyed it instantly.
• Ye Han tried to circle the lake but, after sprinting more than a hundred thousand li, still could not find a way around it.
• Ye Han spotted what appeared to be a person on the horizon, then discovered it was a huge statue of a beautiful woman with a serpent tail.
• Ye Han approached the statue cautiously and wondered whether it was connected to the Mysterious Woman in the Water Spirit Coffin and to a realm beyond the Myriad Realms.
• Both Purple Cauldrons hummed excitedly, and the statue trembled as runes spread across it.
• The statue’s eyes glowed blood red, and it turned its gaze toward Ye Han.

Ye Han trapped the statue inside his Purple Cauldron Space and used the Myriad Treasures Formation to cut off its supply of spiritual energy. The statue’s growth stopped at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage’s great perfection, but it smashed a hole through the formation and charged toward escape.

• Ye Han saw the statue absorb the Third Heaven’s spiritual energy and opened a passage to pull it into his Purple Cauldron Space.
• Ye Han, his clone, White Fairy, and the gathered spirits activated the Myriad Treasures Formation around the statue.
• The formation drained and cut off the surrounding spiritual energy, halting the statue’s growth at roughly the peak of the Void Refinement Stage’s great perfection.
• The statue summoned two wooden hammers and blasted the formation’s barrier with blue-gray lightning.
• The statue transformed into gray light and charged through the hole it had blasted, wielding its hammers amid blue-gray lightning.

Ye Han and the Myriad Treasures Formation overpowered the statue and captured the Death-Aura Ghost Shadow with the Ghost Skull Mirror. He discovered a blood-red crystal and a Human Body and Serpent Tail Token inside the statue, leaving their significance unknown.

• Ye Han, White Fairy, the Medicine Spirit, the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Spirit, and the Snow Sea Dragon King empowered the Myriad Treasures Formation, which battered the statue with attacks of the five elements.
• Ye Han used both Purple Cauldrons to empower a giant and stomp the statue, crushing it and extinguishing its runes.
• The Death-Aura Ghost Shadow escaped the formation, but the Ghost Skull Mirror appeared and attacked it with gold-and-silver skulls.
• The skulls weakened the Death-Aura Ghost Shadow and dragged it into the Ghost Skull Mirror, where they began tearing into it.
• Ye Han found a blood-red crystal stone and a Human Body and Serpent Tail Token inside the crushed statue, and sensed that the crystal had made the Purple Cauldron tremble.

After killing the statue inside his Purple Cauldron Space, Ye Han examined the treasures it left behind and discovered that a blood-red crystal strengthened his Purple Cauldron. The statue’s token then reacted, causing the enormous lake to churn as Ye Han looked for a way across.

• Saint As, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member, and Bai Daozi asked Ye Han about the commotion, and he told them he had killed a troublesome opponent.
• Ye Han recovered the Thunderclap and Heaven-Breaking Hammers, a matched pair of thunder-attribute Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasures, from the statue.
• Ye Han suspected the blood-red crystal was a legendary heaven-mending stone and fed it to his own Purple Cauldron, strengthening its aura and improving its ability to absorb and recover spiritual energy.
• Ye Han examined the token depicting a human body with a serpent tail and wondered whether it could help him cross the enormous lake.
• The token suddenly radiated scorching energy and mysterious runes as the lake began churning, revealing a sight that delighted Ye Han.

Ye Han used the Token to raise a bridge across the dangerous lake and sprinted over it, hoping to reach a fortuitous opportunity. When the bridge began sinking behind him and chasing him forward, he accelerated with Ninefold Lightness and swallowed pills to keep running.

• Ye Han's Token flew into the lake, causing a massive bridge to rise from the water.
• Ye Han tested the bridge with a Metal Puppet, confirmed it did not attack him, and ran onto it using the fourth stage of Ninefold Lightness.
• As he crossed the lake, Ye Han absorbed the bridge's rich spiritual energy but resisted drawing water from the lake into the Purple Cauldron Space.
• After Ye Han had run tens of thousands of zhang, the bridge began sinking rapidly behind him and cut off his way back.
• Ye Han activated the fifth layer's secret method of Ninefold Lightness, swallowed several pills, and sped forward as the bridge sank faster behind him.

Ye Han raced across a sinking bridge over the lake, using a Flying Wing Talisman and the Purple Cauldron’s newly restored ability to absorb spiritual energy to keep going. He reached a palace on a platform at the lake’s center and entered as it began to sink, where he saw something beneath the water that shocked him.

• Ye Han sprinted across the collapsing bridge, burning through his pills and using a supreme-grade Flying Wing Talisman to increase his speed.
• The Purple Cauldron began absorbing surrounding spiritual energy, replenishing its aura and helping Ye Han sustain his spell power.
• Ye Han reached a vast palace on a platform in the middle of the lake and found no way onward except through its entrance.
• The Purple Cauldron stopped absorbing energy after rapidly replenishing itself, while the platform began to tremble and sink.
• Ye Han rushed into the palace as its gates shut and rune-lit barriers kept the lake water out.
• As the palace descended beneath the lake, Ye Han saw something that shocked him.

Ye Han reached the Lakebed Palace beneath the lake, harvested rare ten-thousand-year water spirit flowers, and discovered that a strange aura could erode his mind. After searching empty palaces, he arrived at the Small Pagoda, where both Purple Cauldrons began to tremble.

• Ye Han saw the vast Lakebed Palace and the dangerous ghostly beings surrounding it as the palace settled at the bottom of the lake.
• Ye Han harvested several hundred ten-thousand-year water spirit flowers and transplanted them into the Purple Cauldron Space.
• Ye Han noticed he had become disoriented, then used Dao Follows Nature to dispel gray vapor and resist an aura attacking his divine soul and will.
• Ye Han began searching the palaces one by one and found one completely empty.
• Ye Han reached the foot of the Small Pagoda, and both Purple Cauldrons began trembling.

Ye Han entered the Small Pagoda after destroying its serpent-warrior guardians and their evil spirits, following the Purple Cauldrons’ signal toward a treasure inside. At the stairs, a warning consciousness demanded a Passage Token, which Ye Han did not have.

• Ye Han noticed that both Purple Cauldrons reacted to the Small Pagoda and sensed something valuable in a distant, restriction-protected palace.
• Ye Han attacked the two half-human, half-serpent statues guarding the Small Pagoda and smashed them with the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel.
• Two evil spirits emerged from the shattered statues, but Ye Han destroyed them with the Thunderclap Heaven-Breaking Hammers’ demon-breaking divine thunder.
• Ye Han entered the empty hall and headed for the stairs, believing the treasure the Purple Cauldrons sensed lay higher in the pagoda.
• A golden war-general consciousness appeared and demanded Ye Han present a Passage Token, which he did not have.

Ye Han used the Ghost Skull Mirror’s Death-Aura Ghost Shadow to break the Staircase Restrictions and gathered unfinished treasures and rare materials from the Second and Third Layers. He entered the Fourth Layer, where the bare stone pillar suddenly vibrated as soon as he stepped inside.

• Ye Han released the Death-Aura Ghost Shadow, whose Divine Soul Aura caused the Restriction on the Staircase to collapse.
• Ye Han climbed to the Second Layer and stored its half-finished treasures in the Purple Cauldron Space for his Clone to refine.
• Ye Han gathered the rare Heavenly Treasures, ores, and materials from the Third Layer.
• Ye Han released the Ghost Skull Mirror’s Death-Aura Ghost Shadow again to open the Restriction leading to the Fourth Layer.
• Ye Han found only a bare stone pillar on the Fourth Layer, then triggered its vibration by stepping inside.

Ye Han absorbed a hidden Purple Cauldron Shadow on the Fourth Layer, strengthening both Purple Cauldrons and accelerating the growth of their plants and fruit. When he approached the Fifth Layer, Zhang Qingshan warned that entering would mean certain death, so Ye Han turned back, only to hear a strange voice call after him.

• A Purple Cauldron Shadow entered Ye Han’s two Purple Cauldrons and strengthened them, increasing their aura capacity and speeding the growth of their plants and fruit.
• Ye Han headed for the staircase to the Fifth Layer, where a restriction formed the figure of a human-form female cultivator and ordered him to halt.
• Zhang Qingshan warned Ye Han that entering the Fifth Layer would bring certain death, explaining that their fates were linked while he cultivated in Ye Han’s secret realm.
• Ye Han trusted Zhang Qingshan and turned away from the Fifth Layer.
• A strange voice called, “Fellow Daoist! Please wait!!”

Ye Han spoke with a cultivator sealed inside a restriction, who promised a Body Integration Realm opportunity in exchange for being rescued. Though he suspected her offer was a trap, he accepted the map she revealed while keeping his own means of opening restrictions secret.

• The sealed woman told Ye Han that she was a cultivator trapped in the Three Heavens and explained that the Three Heavens' beings came from beyond the heavens.
• The woman promised to lead Ye Han to an opportunity to reach the Body Integration Realm if he freed her, and she claimed only she could find it.
• Ye Han pretended to be tempted but remained wary, reasoning that the woman might be seeking his body or his life.
• Ye Han said he could not open the restriction with his current abilities and concealed that the Death-Aura Ghost Shadow in his Ghost Skull Mirror could open restrictions.
• The woman revealed a map of the Underwater Divine Palace and said its Golden Spirit Hall held the token needed to open the restriction.

Ye Han obtained a map of the Underwater Divine Palace and warnings about its dangers from a female figure sealed inside the Small Pagoda, but he resolved not to free her. He followed the map to a treasure-sensing palace and found it protected by golden restrictions and Spell-Cultivator Divine Race statues.

• Ye Han asked the sealed female figure about the Underwater Divine Palace, and she warned him about soul restrictions, stone guards, Spell-Cultivator Divine Race statues, and golden restrictions.
• The female figure told Ye Han to find the Golden Spirit Hall and bring her a token, while keeping secret that she knew how to open the Heavenly Gate.
• After leaving the Small Pagoda, Ye Han judged the female figure to be extremely dangerous and suspected her map was incomplete, but kept it for guidance.
• Ye Han chose to follow the Purple Cauldron's treasure sense instead of heading directly to the distant Golden Spirit Hall.
• Ye Han reached a great hall surrounded by Divine Race guard statues, with a huge Spell-Cultivator Divine Race figure and golden defensive restrictions guarding it.
