• Shi Yi spotted Shi Hao, the Three-Stone Heavenly Lord, and the Young Taotie Supreme among the gathered prodigies before entering Immortal Ancient.

Shi Yi raced ahead on Heavenfall Province’s Azure Stone Road, aiming to reach a time-filled Variegated Ancient World and ignite his Divine Flame. When more than a dozen powerful prodigies attacked to stop him, he killed them all with Heaven-Opening Double Pupils, revealing his identity to the observers outside Immortal Ancient.

• More than a dozen prodigies attacked Shi Yi near the road’s end to prevent him from reaching the summit first.
• Shi Yi used Heaven-Opening Double Pupils to kill every attacker, including the young Supreme of the Golden Giant race, the Three-Headed Hellhound, the Blazing Fire Clan’s Divine Son, and the Youyun Clan Saintess.
• The observers recognized Shi Yi, and Heavenfall Academy’s Former Dean rejected an offer to trade an Immortal Dao Scripture for one of Shi Yi’s Ten Fiends Treasure Techniques.

Shi Yi cleared the Azure Stone Road, concealed his destination from the watchers, and traveled through several ancient worlds to reach the mysterious Time World. There, he found a river of time and tested its power, then took out Ye Qingxian’s Small Shield to see whether it would react to the world’s connection to Immortal King Wuzhong.

• Shi Yi took out Ye Qingxian’s Small Shield, the artifact soul of the Bell of Wuzhong, to test whether it would react to the Time World.

Blood lightning struck as he forced the flower toward the sea, and the power of time began rapidly aging and damaging him.

• Shi Yi infused the Small Shield housing the bell soul with essence, awakening rivers of time that formed a Daoist robe and revealed the Time World as a closed loop.
• Shi Yi discerned how the Great Daos of time, space, karma, and fate were connected and concluded that his four runes represented those powers.

• Shi Yi guided the Future Flower toward the Forbidden Sea of Bitterness, but blood lightning struck and the time tribulation aged him by decades and ravaged his body.

Shi Yi survived a deadly tribulation and ignited his divine flame with the Future Dao Flower, producing a strand of origin qi that drew the eerie forces to him. As twelve manifestations of his own arts emerged beneath an Ancient Lamp, he recognized the trap and prepared to destroy the lamp rather than reveal his techniques.

• Shi Yi endured months of time tribulation, sent the Future Dao Flower into the forbidden sea of bitterness, and survived the heavens' final strike with the Heaven Mending Technique.
• Shi Yi successfully ignited his divine flame and produced a strand of origin qi, which he chose to retain despite its dangerous karma.
• An Ancient Lamp and black mist appeared, bringing twelve towering figures modeled on Shi Yi's arts and double pupils.
• Shi Yi realized that fighting the twelve figures would let the Ancient Lamp record his techniques, so he decided to destroy the lamp instead.
• Shi Yi donned the Thunder Emperor Armor and summoned the Small Shield's bell soul as he prepared to face the eerie forces.

Shi Yi survived the dark ship’s attack, took the Time River Ring, and began searching for the Great Daos of space, fate, and karma. He reached Divine Crown City to recruit powerful unaffiliated First Generations to help him find them.

When fifteen gathered outside the city to test his strength, their combined aura failed to move him, and Shi Yi prepared to demonstrate his power.

• Shi Yi found Gu Qianfan and marked him, demanding that he help search for three things in exchange for his freedom and protection.
• Shi Yi marked Xuan Jin and more than a dozen other First Generation gods, then waited outside Divine Crown City for their answers.

• Shi Yi dismissed the First Generation gods as fireflies before a bright moon and released a strand of pure white immortal qi.

• Shi Yi revealed his immortal qi, prompting Gu Qianfan and the other fourteen First Generation cultivators to submit to him.
• Shi Yi placed safeguards in their divine souls and ordered them to find worlds of space, fate, and karma in exchange for eventual freedom.
