After spending that time cultivating and amassing Divine Gold, He Pingsheng emerged from seclusion and headed back toward the tomb.

• The cultivators found a small black coffin with golden patterns floating at the abyss's center.
• Gu Changsheng asked the others what to do after they failed to take the coffin or open it.

Daoist Heavenly Coffin appeared as a remnant soul and offered his inheritance to He Pingsheng, who refused because he feared the crowd would kill him for it. Yu Yingxian received the Heavenly Coffin and drove off attackers, while He Pingsheng stayed in the abyss after sensing something beneath it resonate with his primordial chaos purple qi.

He Pingsheng stayed beneath Daoist Heavenly Coffin’s tomb after the inheritance ended, drawn by primordial chaos aura, and joined Gu Baiping, Gu Changsheng, and Daoist Heavenly Surge in discussing what lay below.

• Gu Changsheng identified He Pingsheng as Wang Dun, and Gu Baiping questioned why he had stayed after the inheritance concluded.
• He Pingsheng revealed that he had sensed primordial chaos aura beneath the abyss, prompting Gu Changsheng to suggest that all four had sensed the same thing.

• Gu Baiping moved beside He Pingsheng and proposed that they join forces, offering him thirty percent of any prize.

Gu Baiping, Gu Changsheng, Daoist Heavenly Surge, and He Pingsheng searched the abyss for Primordial Chaos Purple Qi until a bell transported them to a purple-qi world surrounding a great hall. They debated whether to divide the abundant qi or enter the hall first.

• Gu Baiping led Gu Changsheng, Daoist Heavenly Surge, and He Pingsheng deeper into the abyss, but they found no sign of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.
• Yu Yingxian killed a cultivator who tried to reenter the abyss and warned everyone else not to go down, backed by his mysterious purple-gold divine beast.
• Gu Baiping and the others realized the purple qi’s stirrings had not grown stronger as they descended, then heard a bell ring nine times.
• The bell’s power pulled the four into a world formed from Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, where they found a vast palace complex.
• Daoist Heavenly Surge proposed collecting and dividing the purple qi before entering the great hall, and Gu Baiping asked how they should divide it.

He Pingsheng and the others discovered that the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi outside the Great Hall was an illusion and entered the hall, where they found a bead containing the Primordial Chaos Origin. He Pingsheng claimed it, and Daoist Heavenly Surge attacked him with his strongest Divine Ability.

• Gu Baiping and the others realized the apparent Primordial Chaos Purple Qi was an illusion, so Gu Changsheng led them into the Great Hall.
• The four saw a purple-red bead radiating Primordial Chaos Divine Light, and Gu Baiping identified it as the Primordial Chaos Origin.

• He Pingsheng used Void Swift Movement to take the bead and secretly store it in the Treasure-Gathering Basin.
• Daoist Heavenly Surge attacked He Pingsheng, first with a spear strike and then with his Crimson Heavens God-Burning Divine Ability, while He Pingsheng prepared to face him head-on.

He Pingsheng fought Daoist Heavenly Surge and faced an ambush by Gu Changsheng, but Gu Baiping joined his side in exchange for half the Primordial Chaos Origin.

• Gu Baiping disclosed that the Dao-Sacrificing Yin-Yang Cicada was gnawing at the Orthodox God of Time's Dao foundation, and He Pingsheng concluded that Wang Dun had told her.

He Pingsheng was ambushed by Gu Baiping and attacked by her, Gu Changsheng, and Daoist Heavenly Surge. He survived their assault with an Ice Mountain Divine Talisman, struck back with poisoned needles, and escaped their next combined attack through Void Swift Movement, leaving Gu Changsheng stunned by his mastery of Spatial Daoist Law.

• Gu Changsheng attacked He Pingsheng with Temporal Daoist Law while Gu Baiping suddenly struck him with Sword Intent, forcing him to use Severed Arm Survival.
• Daoist Heavenly Surge, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Baiping launched a combined attack, but He Pingsheng blocked it with an Ice Mountain Divine Talisman and fired Dark Silver Ice Soul Needles at Gu Baiping.

• He Pingsheng put away his umbrella and dodged the three attacks with Void Swift Movement, appearing across the space from his attackers.
• Gu Changsheng questioned how He Pingsheng had evaded his Space-Locking Divine Talisman, and He Pingsheng taunted him to guess.

He Pingsheng escaped Gu Changsheng’s time-slowing Divine Ability and counterattacked the three opponents, killing Gu Baiping once with poisoned needles. Gu Baiping’s Death-Substitute Puppet revived her, but she remained trapped in the strange space, leaving everyone alarmed about whether they could escape.

• Gu Changsheng used Time Drift to slow He Pingsheng while Daoist Heavenly Surge and Gu Baiping attacked, but He Pingsheng escaped with Void Swift Movement.

• He Pingsheng teleported to Gu Baiping and struck her at point-blank range with Dark Silver Ice Soul Needles, triggering her Death-Substitute Puppet.
• Gu Changsheng blocked He Pingsheng’s beam with a mirror, while He Pingsheng replenished his divine power with Greed Spring and a Divinity-Pacifying Pill.
• Gu Baiping revived nearby instead of being transported far away, and the group realized the strange space was interfering with the Death-Substitute Puppet and might prevent their escape.

He Pingsheng subdued Gu Baiping, Daoist Heavenly Surge, and Gu Changsheng after they tried to make peace, then tortured them with seals. Gu Changsheng warned that He Pingsheng would regret defying him, but He Pingsheng continued attacking.

• Gu Changsheng, Daoist Heavenly Surge, and Gu Baiping agreed to cooperate with He Pingsheng to escape, while secretly planning to deal with him later.
• He Pingsheng ambushed Gu Baiping, incapacitated her with a Great Heart-Devouring Seal, and bound Daoist Heavenly Surge with a Mountain-Binding Talisman.
• After overcoming Gu Changsheng's defenses and offensive talismans, He Pingsheng bound him too and subdued all three.
• He Pingsheng questioned Gu Baiping, then resumed the Great Heart-Devouring Seal when she tried to negotiate her release.
• Gu Changsheng warned He Pingsheng that killing or enslaving him would bring his master's wrath and make escape difficult, but He Pingsheng struck him with several more seals.
