After five treasure sites had already been plundered, Teacher Lan Qing suspected a powerful rival had taken their treasures and disrupted his plan to rescue his physical body. He headed for the Hidden Dragon Heavenly Abyss to ambush the rival, while Ye Han worried about the danger and questioned why rebuilding cultivation was not an option.

• Teacher Lan Qing told Ye Han that the Demon God's Eye could turn his arm into a demonic beast, then examined it with apparent satisfaction.

• Ye Han gave Teacher Lan Qing a vague explanation, and Lan Qing said the situation had solved a major problem for him.

• Ye Han objected that Teacher Lan Qing had deceived him before, and Lan Qing demanded to know whether he would do it.

Ye Han continued refining five Demonic Treasures with the Demon God's Eye to create the Demon God's Hand, relying on Teacher Lan Qing to supply pills and resources. After Teacher Lan Qing left to gather more supplies, Ye Han began preparing to attend to something else.

• Ye Han refined the five Demonic Treasures on Purple Mansion Immortal Mountain, hoping to fuse them with the Demon God's Eye in his palm.
• Ye Han recalled that Teacher Lan Qing had persuaded him to attempt the fusion by promising treasure, pills, and help reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, secured by a blood oath.
• Ye Han called for more pills, and Teacher Lan Qing sent bottles through the formation before complaining about the cost and slow progress.
• Teacher Lan Qing left to search for more supplies and warned Ye Han to stay put and keep the Demonic Treasure's aura from leaking.
• After Teacher Lan Qing had been gone for half an hour, Ye Han called out, confirmed he was alone, and said it was time to attend to what mattered.

Ye Han secretly used Lan Qing’s pills to strengthen himself and the Purple Cauldron’s chilling tree sapling while concealing his plans to gain control of the Absolute Frost Divine Sword. Elsewhere, Chains Shadow learned that the Blood Baleful Race’s controlled subordinate had been killed, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider decided to contact Ye Han.

• Ye Han swallowed all four bottles of pills Lan Qing had given him, and the Purple Cauldron absorbed much of their power along with the Chilling Rabbit’s aura.
• Ye Han planned to grow an ice-attribute Spirit Root Fruit so he could withstand the Absolute Frost Divine Sword’s chilling qi and guard against the Demon God’s Hand.

• Chains Shadow realized that the six Demonic Treasures might have fallen into someone else’s hands and asked whether that person could help free them.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider decided to go speak to Ye Han immediately.

Chains Shadow persuaded a member of the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race to wait for the five-elements-bodied brat to come to the Tower of Hell before negotiating over the Demon God's Hand. He then sent the member to fetch an item from the God-Slaying Land, while Chains Shadow remained bound and struck by black lightning.

• Chains Shadow lost his temper when the member brought up his past, blasting him away with a sonic storm before threatening to wipe out his race.
• Chains Shadow reasoned that the brat and his companions must have been to the Tower of Hell, and they agreed to wait until they came there to negotiate over the Demon God's Hand.
• Chains Shadow asked the member to retrieve something from the God-Slaying Land and gave him a map.
• The member transformed into mist and vanished, and black lightning struck Chains Shadow as he vowed to return.

Ye Han refined pills and absorbed a third demonic treasure into his arm while advancing the Demon God's Hand, but he worried that Teacher Lan Qing had been gone for nearly eight years and his pill supply was running low.

• Ye Han refined seventeen Gold-Silver Heaven and Earth Pills, swallowed them, and fed their medicinal aura to the Purple Cauldron.
• Ye Han infused a demonic treasure, a great cleaver, with spell formulas until its demonic rune entered his right arm and strengthened the Demon God's Eye.

• Ye Han recalled that the Nine-Turn Vajra Art could withstand and integrate the Demon God's Eye's backlash, while his Purple Cauldron's sapling had already borne a fruit expected to ripen within ten years.
• Ye Han worried that Teacher Lan Qing had not returned in nearly eight years, leaving him short of pills, and pleaded for his teacher to come back soon.

Ye Han struggled to sustain the Purple Cauldron, the ice-element Spirit Root Fruit, and his work on the Demon God's Hand after exhausting the stored resources. He stayed inside the formation for three more years, unable to check whether Teacher Lan Qing was safe.

• Ye Han used up the pills and heavenly treasures in Old Fox's Storage Bag and Space Ring, then secretly relied on his own supplies while hiding the shortage from Teacher Lan Qing.
• Ye Han spent tens of millions of spirit stones restoring the Purple Cauldron's aura and refined Three-Turn Spiritual Qi Pills from the herbs in the Purple Cauldron Space.
• Ye Han continued studying his cultivation arts while postponing treasure refinement and worrying that Teacher Lan Qing might be trapped in the Heavenly Secret Hall.
• Ye Han remained inside the formation because leaving could expose the Demon God's Hand's aura, trigger heavenly tribulation, and leave him without protection.
• Another three years passed as formations and treasures gathered spiritual energy into a vortex of purple qi around Ye Han.

Ye Han struggled to sustain the energy needed to cultivate the Demon God's Hand and preserve the Ice Element Spirit Root fruit while Teacher Lan Qing remained away. An Eternal God Statue delivered pills and a message revealing that Teacher Lan Qing was in serious trouble, but Ye Han did not learn the details in this chapter.

• Ye Han drained Purple Mansion Immortal Mountain's spiritual energy to sustain the Purple Cauldron Space as he approached the final demonic pattern and the Ice Element Spirit Root fruit neared ripeness.
• Ye Han heard clacking outside the formation and found a shrunken Eternal God Statue carrying a storage bag.

• Ye Han found several hundred bottles of pills, a jade slip, and a bluish-black token bearing the Eternal God Statue's image in the storage bag.
• Ye Han read Teacher Lan Qing's message and realized that Teacher Lan Qing was in serious trouble.
