Shi Yi and the Demoness gathered resources as Immortal Ancient split open, then were transported outside with the other survivors. There, Cult Masters targeted the strongest prodigies and their treasures, while the Ten-Crown King, the Exiled Immortal, and the Nine-Life Heavenly Lord made their moves amid the chaos.

• The Solar Essence Body warned the Reincarnation Disks that the Lunar Essence Body would be targeted when Immortal Ancient split open and urged them to protect him.

• The Reincarnation Disks warned Shi Yi to use their power sparingly and rely on his own cultivation to forge a path.
• Surviving Cult Masters discovered Shi Hao and moved to suppress him, reasoning that they could not attack Shi Yi because he had a True Immortal backing him.

Shi Yi’s two bodies left Demon Island and searched the Uninhabited Zone for Bai Zhimiao, finding her body empty of its Primordial Spirit and imprisoning it safely in all-things soil. They returned to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces as news of Shi Yi’s triumph in Immortal Ancient spread, while he vowed to grow strong enough to rescue Bai Zhimiao.

Beings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths arrived to select prodigies for three new academies, and Lin Tian humiliated the cultivators of Heavenfall Province while searching for Shi Yi. Shi Yi’s Lunar Essence Body and Solar Essence Body appeared together, and Lin Tian challenged them as the chapter ended.

• Visitors from beyond discussed the Three-Immortal-Qi Bearers of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and announced the founding of the Heavenly Deity Academy, the Sacred Academy, and the Immortal Academy.

• Shi Yi revealed both bodies and explained that one would attend the Immortal Academy while the other would attend the Sacred Academy.
• Lin Tian challenged both Shi Yis to face him, and they smiled as they asked which one would fight.

Shi Yi defeated Lin Tian with his Lunar Essence clone, restoring Heavenfall Academy’s honor and earning the right to join the three great academies. He met three Supremes in Central Province, declined one’s offer of discipleship, and agreed to prepare for a dangerous trial through an Uninhabited Restricted Zone.

• Lunar Essence Shi Yi defeated Lin Tian in a contest of physical strength, then stopped his attempt to continue fighting with a Heaven-Opening Double Pupils strike.
• Heavenfall Academy’s disciples celebrated Lin Tian’s defeat, and Shi Yi told the Vice Dean that Bai Zhimiao had forged her own path but her primordial spirit had vanished.
• Shi Yi’s two bodies boarded the Purple-Gold Warship and traveled to Central Province, where three Supremes praised him and one offered to take him as a disciple.
• Shi Yi declined the offer, explaining that he already had a master, and listened as the Supremes described the benefits of joining the three great academies.
• The Supremes told Shi Yi that he would have to cross an Uninhabited Restricted Zone to find a city as his selection trial, and he agreed to undertake it.

• Shi Yi heard that a White Qilin had appeared and decided to seek an audience with it.

Shi Yi lured the White Qilin to him by using two Purple Qilin incarnations, then forced it to relive the massacre that had killed the girl it loved. The White Qilin’s secret treasure entrusted it to Shi Yi for training and offered him entry to the Qilin Immortal Palace.

• Shi Yi sent two Purple Qilin spirit bodies into the Vast Mountain Range to draw out the White Qilin.

• Shi Yi accepted the White Qilin and received a mark granting entry to the Qilin Immortal Palace.

• Shi Yi reached the Imperial City and found the nearby gathering place for trial survivors, becoming the first to arrive.

When a Golden-Haired Man provoked him, Shi Yi struck with his double pupils and prepared to answer the man’s continued complaints with his leg.

• Shi Yi asked the Purple-Robed Elder to arrange a meeting with the three Supremes and hinted that he knew where the qilin cub was.
• A middle-aged Supreme summoned Shi Yi and promised him entry to the Heavenly Deity Academy, its full support, and personal oversight of his teleportation if he brought back the cub.
• Shi Yi opened his chaos small world and presented White Qilin, and the Supreme left with the cub after promising to fulfill his conditions.
• The Purple-Robed Elder registered Shi Yi, who then waited outside the city with both bodies while other trial participants arrived.

Shi Yi and the other prodigies gathered for the final trial, and Shi Yi secured the Demoness a place by presenting the heads of Foreign Realm enemies he had killed. After the group reached the desolate Imperial City and examined the Ancient Covenant steles, a mysterious force pulled Shi Hao into a passage despite the three Supremes’ attempt to stop it.

• The Ten-Crown King, the Exiled Immortal, the Nine-Life Heavenly Lord, Qingyi, and other prodigies arrived and learned that Lunar Essence Shi Yi had swept through Immortal Ancient with only half his essence.

• A drop of Self-Transforming Blood flew from Shi Yi’s Forbidden Sea of Bitterness into Shi Hao, who vanished into a passage as the three Supremes’ combined attack failed to stop it.

After Shi Hao vanished, Shi Yi and the other prodigies departed for Boundless Heaven, while three Supremes thwarted a Feng Family elder’s chance to endanger Shi Yi during teleportation.

• Shi Yi chose a divine mountain for his cave abode and prepared with both incarnations for the Phoenix Blood Pool opportunity.
• Meng Tianzheng personally led Shi Yi to the forbidden pool and told him to focus on his own needs.
• Lunar Essence Shi Yi absorbed phoenix essence, formed a Dao Flower, and began but could not complete a second one; Solar Essence Shi Yi also strengthened his body and True Phoenix powers.

• At a fishpond, Shi Yi told Meng Tianzheng that he intended to merge both cultivation methods and create his own system.
• Meng Tianzheng praised Shi Yi’s resolve, warned him of the danger, and gave him ancient texts while offering further help.

• Lunar Essence Shi Yi’s second strand of immortal qi bloomed into a dao flower, bringing him close to the Heavenly God Realm, but he held back to perfect his foundation.

Shi Yi’s two bodies used a second pool of immortal liquid to complete major breakthroughs, then cleansed away the hidden dangers from their earlier transformations with precious longevity liquid. Lunar Essence Shi Yi entered the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm after gathering three flowers at his crown, while Solar Essence Shi Yi entered the Void Dao domain; both emerged from seclusion with their cultivation purified.

• Solar Essence Shi Yi and Lunar Essence Shi Yi compared their progress and planned to use another pool of immortal liquid to advance their cultivation.
