Ye Han broke the curse sealing the spell power in his hands by enduring the Snake Demon’s cudgel attack, then used his restored power to fend off the Demon Race’s assault. After exhausting his spell power again, he faced a four-armed Half-Step True Immortal demon’s crushing attack and could no longer risk blocking it with his body.

Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew used the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor’s power and spatial talismans to rescue Ye Han from a divine beast and take him outside the Ten Thousand Demons Realm. There, four divine beasts sensed his location and locked onto him.

• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor told Ye Han that Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew served him and ordered him to go with them.

The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor rescued Ye Han and his two companions from the Xiaoxiong Divine Beast, drawing the four divine beasts of the Ten Thousand Demons Realm into a battle with it.

They arrived at the Formless Star Ring, where the emperor invited Ye Han to ask his questions, while the battle among the divine beasts continued in the Star Sea.

• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor inspected Ye Han and used four kinds of divine beast blood to break the Xiaoxiong Divine Beast’s lock on his divine soul.

After Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew left Ye Han to cultivate, Ye Han endured the cursed heavenly tribulation’s blood-red lightning and reflected on the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor’s schemes. He recognized that his encounter with the Xiaoxiong Divine Beast had brought him an unexpected chance to undo the curse and restore his spell power.

• Fairy Fire Spirit sealed the Black Flying Boat’s cabin while Fairy Water Dew teased her about their dual cultivation with Ye Han.
• Fairy Fire Spirit admitted she had enjoyed the experience but worried that she had lost control of her state of mind before her next heavenly tribulation.

• Ye Han endured the cursed heavenly tribulation’s blood-red lightning as Fire and Water spiritual energies intertwined within him.
• Ye Han reasoned that the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor had sent him to lure out the Xiaoxiong Divine Beast and draw its opponents into attacking it.
• Ye Han realized the emperor had ordered Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew to use the Dual Cultivation Method to help undo his curse and restore his spell power.

Ye Han used dual cultivation with Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew to heal and loosen the Cursed Heavenly Tribulation's seal while refining the Spell-Breaking Staff. After only seven or eight days, the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor returned with a noticeably weakened aura, leaving Ye Han to wonder whether he had been injured.

• Ye Han reasoned that dual cultivation could speed his recovery and help him remove the Spell-Breaking Staff's lingering refinement traces, while also benefiting Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew.

• Ye Han summoned the Spell-Breaking Staff and began refining it while continuing to restore his spell power.
• After seven or eight days, the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor returned, and Ye Han noticed that his aura had weakened considerably.

The emperor gave Ye Han the Undying Immortal Stone, which stirred the sealed Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, then prepared to explain the dangerous task he wanted Ye Han to undertake.

Ye Han accepted the dangers of cultivation, but the emperor’s final question about his “arrangements” left him wary.

• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor told Ye Han that sending him to the Ten Thousand Demons Realm had served a purpose beyond giving him an opportunity.

• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor asked whether Ye Han had been satisfied with the arrangements he had made, and Ye Han asked what arrangements he meant.

He gave Ye Han rare materials to improve his Black Flying Boat and revealed that their destination was the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Tomb.

• Ye Han told the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor he could break the cursed heavenly tribulation seal without dual cultivation, but the Emperor insisted Fairy Fire Spirit and Fairy Water Dew were rare and important allies.
• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor explained that Ye Han, Fairy Fire Spirit, and Fairy Water Dew needed to grow stronger and build trust so they could face the mission together.
• Ye Han agreed to help the two fairies improve rather than keep the benefits of dual cultivation for himself.
• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor told Ye Han to cultivate until summoned and gave him a Storage Bag of rare materials to enhance his Black Flying Boat, avoiding the need for the Emperor to transport him personally.
• Ye Han realized the destination must be dangerous, and the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor said failure would mean death and asked whether Ye Han wanted to know why he was sending him to the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Tomb.

He hesitated over the risk of stronger backlash just as Fairy Fire Spirit contacted him.

• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor told Ye Han he had pitted the Ten Thousand Demons Realm's divine beasts against the Xiaoxiong Divine Beast and seized what he wanted while they fought.

• Ye Han brought out the Undying Immortal Stone, and the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron trembled in response.
• Ye Han debated whether to let the cauldron absorb the stone, fearing greater backlash, when Fairy Fire Spirit sent him a transmission.

After nearly four hundred years, he finally resolved the curse from the heavenly tribulation and recovered his cultivation to the half-step true immortal level.
