In Outer Heaven, Fairy Lingyue received news of his progress and continued toward the Great Yu Ancient Kingdom ruins with Ping'an, who prepared to undergo his own trial.

• Zhao Qian reported that Xu Taiping could not use his usual abilities in the seventh act and had to slay a Demon Emperor, so Lü Daoxuan told him to close the Bronze Coffin and guard it from the Nine Abysses.

Xu Taiping fought and killed three Demon Emperors in the seventh act inside the Scroll of Time. Afterward, he watched Yun Jiang, who had survived from the second act, finally fall beside the lion Demon Emperor’s corpse.

• Xu Taiping used the Azure Luan Ring to fend off the lion Demon Emperor’s sandstorm as the eagle Demon Emperor attacked from above.

• Xu Taiping saw Yun Jiang sink to her knees beside the lion Demon Emperor’s headless corpse, having fallen after surviving from the second act.

Xu Taiping witnessed the end of Yun Jiang's battle against three Demon Emperors and learned that she had defeated them by using the Spirit Transformation Curse. As Yun Jiang died through Liberation by Violence, she entrusted Yun Ling and Yunyan with her Bamboo Hairpin and a message pendant that would lead them to the Abyssal Pavilion Thirteenth Seat.

• Xu Taiping recognized that Yun Jiang, not he, had truly defeated the three Demon Emperors, and that her strength far exceeded that of cultivators at her level.

• Yun Jiang apologized to her Master for failing to inherit her mantle, then turned to ash in the wind, leaving behind her Dharma Robe.

After the seventh act ended, Xu Taiping suppressed the surging qi and blood and true essence that threatened to force a forbidden breakthrough. In the eighth act, he saw Yun Ling cornered by demonic beasts until Ni Zhao, the Abyssal Pavilion Thirteenth Seat, appeared and saved her.

• Yunyan sent Yun Ling east with the sleeping girl while he flew toward the pursuing demonic beasts to draw them away.

• Ni Zhao appeared in black armor and killed the attacking demonic beast with a single palm strike.

After sending Yun Ling away, Ni Zhao revealed that Tian Li’s unborn child could poison the Demon Emperor of the Third Demon Abyss, and prepared to confront the Demon Emperor with Mister Da.

• Ni Zhao confirmed he was the Abyssal Pavilion Thirteenth Seat, while seven whale demons descended and Mister Da blocked them with a river of sword qi.
• Ni Zhao destroyed a charging Demon Venerable-level demonic beast and gave Yun Ling a scroll to teleport away with Yunyan’s head.

• Tian Li woke and happily believed she had returned home as demonic beasts converged and Mister Da’s sword barrier broke.
• The Demon Emperor challenged Ni Zhao’s plan to kill him, and Ni Zhao replied with a mysterious smile that there were not just two of them.

• Ni Zhao summoned Li Daoyan from the River of Time, confirming Xu Taiping’s suspicion that the Thirteenth Seat had mastered Time Interception.

• Li Daoyan urged Ni Zhao to attack, but Ni Zhao said one more person was still missing.

Ni Zhao summoned Xu Taiping into the past to help fight Wu Xuan, revealing that Xu could overlap with the combat strength of his strongest future self. He explained the cost of that choice and how the Scroll of Time preserved this stretch of history, leaving Xu Taiping to decide whether to step forward.

• Ni Zhao invited Xu Taiping, the next holder of the Thirteen Seats of the Abyss, into the past to face Wu Xuan alongside him, Yuyang Heavenly Lord, and Li Daoyan.
• Li Daoyan recognized Xu Taiping and worried that his Heaven Gazing Realm cultivation was too weak for the battle.
• Ni Zhao explained that crossing the barrier would give Xu Taiping the combat strength of his strongest self in this world before reaching the Dao Integration Realm.
• Xu Taiping asked whether failing to reach that strength would erase him, and Ni Zhao revealed that the question had been Xu Taiping's final test to succeed to the Thirteen Seats.
• Ni Zhao explained that drawing Xu Taiping from a tributary into the main stream would erase its other possibilities, then described how the Scroll of Time tied a knot in the River of Time to preserve this stretch.

Xu Taiping crossed the azure barrier and underwent a staggering transformation, gaining immense power as Demon Emperor Wu Xuan sent powerful demons to stop him. One year later, Zhao Qian saw Xu Taiping’s transformed body inside the Scroll of Time and could hardly believe it was him.

• Xu Taiping accepted Ni Zhao’s explanation and stepped through the azure barrier, crossing a thousand years into the past.

Lü Daoxuan and Zhao Qian recognized that Xu Taiping had been summoned from a future timeline as the Taixuan Sect’s greatest hope against the Great Void Calamity, and they began preparing to reunite the sect’s divided immortal mansions. In the Scroll of Time, Xu Taiping’s future self destroyed Demon Emperor Wu Xuan, and Ni Zhao offered Xu Taiping the complete inheritance of the Thirteenth Seat of the Abyss.

• Zhao Qian showed Lü Daoxuan a Divine Soul Mark of Xu Taiping’s future battle, and Lü confirmed that the figure was Taiping.
• Zhao Qian said Taiping’s future strength offered the Remnants of the Taixuan Sect their greatest hope against the Great Void Calamity.
• Lü Daoxuan ordered Zhao Qian to gather the Peak Lords and prepare to undo the seal dividing the Taixuan Sect Immortal Mansions Ruins from Qingxuan’s Cloud Lodge Immortal Mansions.
• Within the Scroll of Time, the newborn in Tian Li’s womb caused Demon Emperor Wu Xuan to be ground to dust by the grinding discs.
• Ni Zhao congratulated Xu Taiping for completing the tests to succeed to the Thirteen Seats of the Abyss and presented him with the complete inheritance.

Xu Taiping opened the inheritance box and learned about the Torch Dragon Ring, Jiazi Pot, and his own Scroll of Time from Ni Zhao. Ni Zhao explained why he had remained inside the Scroll, and Xu Taiping told him the Abyssal Pavilion had suffered devastating losses retrieving it.

• Xu Taiping opened the wooden box with his qi-and-blood body-tempering power at the Immaculate Realm and found a Bronze Ring, a jade pot, and a scroll.

• Ni Zhao identified the jade pot as the Jiazi Pot and explained its contrasting effects on time inside and outside the pot.
• Ni Zhao explained how Xu Taiping could use his Scroll of Time to seal a span of events and make them a legend in the world.

• Xu Taiping told Ni Zhao that retrieving the Scroll had cost the Abyssal Pavilion dearly, with almost all its Thirteen Seats replaced.

Xu Taiping learned that he had to personally deliver the Abyssal Pavilion’s lost treasure and received two inheritances from Li Daoyan. After Ni Zhao sent his true essence into him, Xu Taiping struggled to contain it, and half a month later his Bronze Coffin began to open in the Nether Profound Grotto.

• Ni Zhao gave Xu Taiping a pearl containing the Abyssal Pavilion’s lost treasure and explained that he had to deliver it in person.
• Li Daoyan passed down the Form- and Shadow-Transposition Technique and the Steal Heaven and Swap Sun Divine Ability through the Kunwu Sword, then vanished.
• Mister Da asked whether Xu Taiping’s master was still hesitating, and Xu Taiping said his master had decided to contend again alongside him.
• Ni Zhao warned Xu Taiping that a thread of his true essence would enter him as the Scroll of Time ended; the essence poured into Xu Taiping and nearly forced a breakthrough, but the Jade Bracelet helped him regain control.
• Half a month later, Lü Daoxuan and Zhao Qian heard Xu Taiping’s Bronze Coffin move and waited for him to emerge without approaching it.

Xu Taiping emerged from the Scroll of Time with reserves of True Essence and Qi and Blood thirteen times greater than an ordinary Heaven Gazing Realm cultivator, but struggled to control them alongside his seven Demon Emperor Soul Seals. Lü Daoxuan revealed that seven swords had been selected to forge into Immortal Weapons that could undo the seals.

• Xu Taiping emerged from the Bronze Coffin and swallowed two bottles of Heaven Rank spirit pills, restoring some flesh without breaking through.
• Xu Taiping told Zhao Qian that his reserves had grown to thirteen times those of an ordinary Heaven Gazing Realm cultivator, and Zhao Qian confirmed they surpassed his own.
• Xu Taiping explained that he had to keep his reserves near half capacity to avoid weakening his body or losing cultivation to the seven soul seals.
• Xu Taiping took an Earth Fruit Seed to replenish his Divine Soul Power and discussed how the soul seals hindered him in battle.
• Lü Daoxuan told Xu Taiping that he had chosen seven swords from the Five Elders' manuals and that forging them into Immortal Weapons would undo the seven soul seals.

Xu Taiping learned he needed to forge two Demon-Sealing Swords within a year, and Lü Daoxuan’s old flying swords volunteered to be reforged despite the danger. As Xu Taiping worried that he could forge only one sword in time, Lü Daoxuan reminded him of his Origin Beginning Clone.

• Xu Taiping learned that six years had passed outside the Scroll of Time and realized he had to forge two Demon-Sealing Swords within a year.
• Lü Daoxuan gathered his old flying swords to provide materials, and Longyuan, Chengying, and the other swords chose to risk being reforged.
• Xu Taiping thanked the swords and gathered them into his Iron Gourd.
• Xu Taiping explained that even with the Jiazi Pot, he could forge only one Demon-Sealing Sword within a year.
• Lü Daoxuan reminded Xu Taiping that he had an Origin Beginning Clone.

After Xu Taiping completed the Scroll of Time, Lü Daoxuan explained how his Origin Beginning Clone could help forge Demon-Sealing Swords alongside him. Xu Taiping learned that Fairy Lingyue had gone to the Battlefield Ruins because of trouble involving Wuji Immortal Elder, and he returned to the Moon Perching Pavilion to retrieve what she had left.

• Lü Daoxuan explained that the Origin Beginning Clone could share its cultivation with Xu Taiping and help forge Demon-Sealing Swords at the same time as his true body.
• Lü Daoxuan said the Abyssal Pavilion would send two Demon Emperor Heart Apertures, which could let Xu Taiping and his clone finish two Demon-Sealing Swords within a year.
• Zhao Qian gave Xu Taiping a Jade Slip containing Fairy Lingyue's message that she had left for the Battlefield Ruins because Wuji Immortal Elder was in trouble.
• Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping to retrieve a Divine Soul Mark and other items she had left in Fan Tower, because they concerned the Earth Fruit and his future cultivation.
• Xu Taiping hurried back to the Moon Perching Pavilion, where he found Bai Yu and Ping'an absent and encountered a phantom of Fairy Lingyue outside Fan Tower.

Xu Taiping reunited with Fairy Lingyue’s divine sense projection at Moon Perching Pavilion and learned that Bai Yu and Ping'an had left for a long trial in Outer Heaven. Their messages reassured him of their loyalty, and Lingyue gave him a jade box containing a rare Soul-Merging Pill recipe before her long absence.

• Fairy Lingyue’s projection told Xu Taiping that the Nine Abysses was hunting him and that her formation concealed his aura inside Fan Tower.
• Fairy Lingyue explained that she had taken Bai Yu and Ping'an to Outer Heaven to pursue trials that could lead them to the Demon Race's Great Sage Realm.
• Xu Taiping listened to Ping'an's message promising to become someone he could trust to watch his back, then learned that both companions had chosen to stay by him despite the danger.
• Xu Taiping heard Bai Yu insist that he would repay his debts and urged Xu Taiping to stay alive until he returned.
• Fairy Lingyue warned that she might be gone for three to five hundred years and gave Xu Taiping a jade box containing the Shangqing Realm's only complete Immortal Rank Soul-Merging Pill recipe.

Xu Taiping learned that opening the Immortal Rank Soul-Merging Pill formula would expose its karmic aura and reveal his identity, so he planned to wait until Old Daoist Huang could help conceal it. Fairy Lingyue gave him the Kunwu Sword and advised him to ask Old Lü whether Old Daoist Huang could be trusted.

• Fairy Lingyue explained that Soul-Merging Pill formulas carried powerful karma that Qi-Gazing Practitioners could trace, and that the Immortal Rank formula could expose Xu Taiping's identity if he read it.
• Xu Taiping suggested asking Old Daoist Huang to conceal the formula's karmic aura after his rebirth, and Fairy Lingyue agreed that his help would be ideal.
• Fairy Lingyue advised Xu Taiping to consult Old Lü about whether Old Daoist Huang was trustworthy.
• Fairy Lingyue gave Xu Taiping the Kunwu Sword and explained that it had to be wielded with the Power of Time.
• Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping to study the Divine Soul Mark of Li Daoyan inside the Kunwu Sword while forging and refining the Demon-Sealing Sword.

Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue discovered that their memories of picking the Earth Fruit Golden Lotuses had been altered, causing Fairy Lingyue’s Sixth Seed Burning to fail. Xu Taiping found three lotuses still hidden in the Golden Court Inner Grotto-Heaven and planned to retrieve them with a Mysterious Origin Avatar protected from the memory-affecting treasure.

• Xu Taiping stored the Kunwu Sword in the Sword-Nurturing Gourd, preserving Li Daoyan’s cultivation inheritance.
• Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping that her attempt at the Sixth Seed Burning had failed because the Golden Lotus remains were incomplete.
• Fairy Lingyue suspected that a being like Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland’s Wang You Wind had made them forget some lotuses they left behind.
• Xu Taiping used his Lotus Eye and True Intent of Lotus Root Broken, Yet Its Fibers Remain to reveal an image of three Golden Lotuses in the Golden Court Inner Grotto-Heaven.
• Fairy Lingyue advised Xu Taiping to leave his true body in the Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Coffin and send a Mysterious Origin Avatar to retrieve the lotuses.

Fairy Lingyue explained why the Dragon-Slaying Stele had to be sent to a hidden passage leading to Manghuang, so Xu Taiping could travel to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom as part of the plan against the Great Void Calamity. Three days later, Lin Buyu remained in Qingxuan and revealed that her scarlet Listening Wind Bracelet foretold a deadly tribulation for its counterpart's owner.

• Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping that the Dragon-Slaying Stele would go to the shattered Golden Court Grotto-Heaven because it could provide access to Manghuang and the Primordial Thousand Buddha Kingdom.
• Fairy Lingyue warned Xu Taiping to prioritize cultivation and avoid reckless action, and he promised to meet her again as a worthy fighting partner.
• Three days later, Xu Ziyan asked Lin Buyu why she had concealed that she had not left Qingxuan, and Lin Buyu said she did not want to explain.
• Lin Buyan demanded to know why Lin Buyu was making her return to the Taihao Sect alone, but Lin Buyu refused to answer.
• Lin Buyu examined her scarlet Listening Wind Bracelet and said it signaled that the owner of the other bracelet faced a deadly tribulation.

Xu Taiping consulted Lü Daoxuan about Old Daoist Huang’s Undying Bone and the Earth Fruit Golden Lotus, then learned how Origin Beginning Clones and Mysterious Origin Avatars could aid his cultivation and help him hide from Heavenly Dao punishment. Lü Daoxuan revealed that the Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Coffin could leave the grotto, though Xu Taiping would have to carry it himself.

• Lü Daoxuan confirmed that a Primordial Spirit lay within the Undying Bone and explained that Old Daoist Huang would likely agree to return for it because of the debt he owed Xu Taiping.
• Lü Daoxuan advised Xu Taiping to wait until both Demon-Sealing Swords were forged before retrieving the Earth Fruit Golden Lotus, which likely contained a treasure like the Wang You Wind.
• Lü Daoxuan suggested Xu Taiping create a Mysterious Origin Avatar to cultivate in the third Bronze Coffin while his true body and Origin Beginning Clone forged the swords.
• Lü Daoxuan explained that a Mysterious Origin Avatar could practice skills and arts but could not affect the true body’s cultivation realm or forge swords, while an Origin Beginning Clone could also cultivate the law.
• Lü Daoxuan said a complete Origin Beginning Clone could help Xu Taiping hide his true body below the Heaven Shocking Realm, but the incomplete Shangqing Clone Art made using the method dangerous without the Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Coffin.
• Lü Daoxuan told Xu Taiping that he could take the Taixuan Demon-Suppressing Coffin out of the Netherdark Demon Grotto, but could not keep it inside a Spatial Item for long.

Xu Taiping entered a Demon-Suppressing Coffin to cultivate while preparing to forge two Demon-Sealing Swords, and chose to focus his clone on blade techniques after the Blade Ghost criticized his declining killing power. He discovered that the Blade Ghost could pull his Mysterious Origin Avatar into the restored blade domain, where the Blade Ghost ordered the avatar to stay and train.

• Xu Taiping placed a Mysterious Origin Avatar in a Demon-Suppressing Coffin, and Lü Daoxuan explained how the coffins could support cultivation.
• The Blade Ghost told Xu Taiping that his blade techniques had lost their killing power and urged him to entrust everything to his blade.
• Xu Taiping chose to train with the blade, entered another coffin, and promised Lü Daoxuan not to open it until both Demon-Sealing Swords were complete.
• Xu Taiping used his thoughts to change the cultivation environments around himself and his clones, selecting the Blood Rain Forest in Youyun Heaven and the Fan Tower of the Moon Perching Pavilion for them.
• The Blade Ghost pulled Xu Taiping's Mysterious Origin Avatar into his blade domain and revealed that eleven layers of the Eighteen-Layer Blade Domain had been restored.
• The Blade Ghost ordered Xu Taiping's Mysterious Origin Avatar to remain in the blade domain and cultivate with him.
