• The Ice Pole Patriarch suspected that a mighty Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Qi Kingdom had taken Xiao Xuan.

He Pingsheng found that Xiao Xuan had vanished under circumstances similar to Qiao Huizhu’s, leaving him with no leads and no way to confront the Qi Kingdom. He went to the Beast Taming Immortal Sect, where Hou Muxian and its Nascent Soul patriarch died by suicide, then discovered that the patriarch’s red Jade Slip contained a Qi-Watching Technique.

• He Pingsheng learned that Xiao Xuan had disappeared over a decade earlier after reaching Nascent Soul, and he suspected the Qi Kingdom but knew he was too weak to investigate it directly.

After enhancing the Qi-Watching Technique, He Pingsheng gained the Heaven Tier Heavenly Eye Geomancy True Canon and Heaven-Seizing Curse, then reunited with his Great Void Sect companions in the Liang Kingdom's capital. He helped them settle at the Taixu Commerce Association and, after half a year of cultivation, mastered the Heavenly Eye Geomancy True Canon and saw the fortune throughout the surrounding commandery.

• He Pingsheng began secluded cultivation and mastered the Heavenly Eye Geomancy True Canon about half a year later.
• He Pingsheng used his golden-lit eyes to see the fortune of people throughout the commandery and observed that the greatest concentration lay in the imperial palace.

He Pingsheng visited Patriarch Zhenyu to ask about the disappearance of Qiao Huizhu and other cultivators who vanished after surviving their Nascent Soul tribulations. Zhenyu gave him a lead to the Tantai Lineage in the Chu Kingdom, and He Pingsheng set off to investigate.

• He Pingsheng went to the imperial palace and used Patriarch Zhenyu's Token to request an audience.
• He Pingsheng told Zhenyu that Qiao Huizhu had disappeared and that he suspected a Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Qi Kingdom had abducted her; he also mentioned Xiao Xuan's disappearance.
• He Pingsheng asked Zhenyu about Liang Tianjian, who had also vanished after surviving his Nascent Soul heavenly tribulation.
• Zhenyu explained that the Tantai Lineage descended from Liang Tianjian's daughter and gave He Pingsheng a Jade Slip to present to its head.
• He Pingsheng left instructions with Ling Zhiwang and hurried to the Immortal Ship Plaza to travel to Peacock Commandery in the Chu Kingdom.

He Pingsheng traveled toward the Tantai Household and encountered Jiang Yu, Qi Kingdom’s Second Patriarch, who demanded to settle the deaths of five royal descendants. Jiang Yu promised to strike He Pingsheng only three times, leaving his survival to fate.

• He Pingsheng flew from Liang Kingdom toward Peacock Commandery with Ting Tong and promised to help her find the ingredients for a Transformation Pill after his business was done.

• The old man introduced himself as Jiang Yu, Qi Kingdom’s Second Patriarch, and recounted He Pingsheng’s victories against Qi Kingdom’s Imperial Family.
• He Pingsheng challenged Jiang Yu’s claim that they had no quarrel, pointing to Qi Kingdom’s past persecution of him and his wife.
• Jiang Yu said he would strike He Pingsheng three times and leave, regardless of whether He survived.

He Pingsheng asked Jiang Yu whether the Qi Kingdom had abducted Qiao Huizhu or caused Xiao Xuan’s disappearance, then used an Instantaneous Teleportation Talisman to escape Jiang Yu’s first strike. Jiang Yu tracked him down and unleashed a second palm strike, which broke through He Pingsheng’s defenses and continued descending.

• He Pingsheng asked Jiang Yu about Qiao Huizhu’s disappearance and Xiao Xuan’s disappearance, and Jiang Yu denied that the Qi Kingdom was involved in either.

• Jiang Yu tracked the talisman’s spatial laws and intercepted He Pingsheng after he fled in disguise.
• He Pingsheng activated six layers of defense and struck Jiang Yu’s second giant palm with the Heaven-Deficiency Divine Spear, removing a tenth of its power.
• Jiang Yu’s palm shattered He Pingsheng’s defenses and kept descending with nearly thirty percent of its power remaining.

Jiang Yu’s final strike nearly killed He Pingsheng, but Saint Lord He Asks intervened and persuaded Jiang Yu to spare him. He Pingsheng recovered his Heaven-Deficiency Divine Spear, though Jiang Yu warned that Qi Kingdom’s Nascent Soul cultivators could still hunt him.

• Jiang Yu’s second strike shattered He Pingsheng’s five Golden Cores, leaving him unable to withstand another attack.
• He Pingsheng prepared to rely on the Yin-Reversing Yang-Transforming Immortal Talisman as Jiang Yu launched his third strike.
• Saint Lord He Asks appeared and dispersed Jiang Yu’s strike before it could kill He Pingsheng.
• He Asks argued that Jiang Yu’s attack was tied to the Qi imperial family’s earlier imprisonment of He Pingsheng’s sect, and Jiang Yu agreed to spare him.
• He Pingsheng asked Jiang Yu to return the Heaven-Deficiency Divine Spear, and Jiang Yu tossed it back to him.
• Jiang Yu asked whether He Asks would stop Qi Kingdom’s Nascent Soul cultivators from pursuing He Pingsheng, and He Asks said he would not intervene.

Jiang Yu crippled He Pingsheng’s divine sense before leaving, leaving him unable to use his treasures or repair his cracked Golden Cores. He Pingsheng hid in a cave to recover, where Su Zhenzhen arrived as Nascent Soul Realm pursuers threatened to catch up.

• Jiang Yu struck He Pingsheng with Divine Sense Flying Knives, destroying most of his divine sense while sparing his life.
• He Pingsheng found that he had no Soul-Restoring Pills and could neither activate his Eight-Treasure Ship nor repair his cracked Golden Cores.
• He Pingsheng released his Snow Rocs, flew away, and hid in a cave behind a second-grade defensive formation to cultivate.
• After several days, He Pingsheng heard someone outside the formation and prepared to use his Golden Silence Finger Talisman.
• Su Zhenzhen called to He Pingsheng, entered the cave, and heard him explain that Nascent Soul Realm enemies were pursuing him.
• He Pingsheng asked Su Zhenzhen to help him and promised a generous reward if he survived.

He Pingsheng learned that Su Zhenzhen had reached the Golden Core Stage but suffered wisdom severance, and the two fled toward the nearby Heavenly Pole Forbidden Ground. They entered the forbidden ground, where He Pingsheng planned to hide until his divine sense recovered.

• Su Zhenzhen told He Pingsheng that her husband had died before he could use the ten-thousand-year ice marrow, and that she had suffered wisdom severance after reaching the third level of the Golden Core Stage.
• Su Zhenzhen explained that she had come to Cloud Harmony Commandery to seek opportunities in the Heavenly Pole Forbidden Ground and was also avoiding her pestering senior brother.
• He Pingsheng gave Su Zhenzhen the Eight-Treasure Ship, and she piloted it to the forbidden ground's Heavenly Pole Yin-Yang Gate in a single day.
• Su Zhenzhen flew the ship through the gate with He Pingsheng, and they arrived near a mountain rich in spiritual energy and immortal herbs.
• He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen landed away from the mountain, and He Pingsheng decided they should find a place to hide while his divine sense recovered.

He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen took shelter in a cave while he recovered his damaged divine sense, but Su Zhenzhen’s senior brother, Heaven-Transposing Daoist, arrived and tried to force her to become his woman. He Pingsheng intervened and threatened Heaven-Transposing Daoist with a supreme-grade Thunder-Splinter Talisman.

• Su Zhenzhen helped He Pingsheng into a cave, where he said he needed about two months to restore part of his divine sense.
• He Pingsheng gave Su Zhenzhen a fourth-grade defense formation to set up and guided her through the work.
• Heaven-Transposing Daoist found them and demanded that Su Zhenzhen become his woman, threatening He Pingsheng when she refused.
• Su Zhenzhen offered to go with Heaven-Transposing Daoist in two months to stop him from attacking He Pingsheng.
• He Pingsheng pulled Su Zhenzhen behind him and warned Heaven-Transposing Daoist that his supreme-grade Thunder-Splinter Talisman could kill him.

He Pingsheng drove off the Heaven-Transposing Daoist with a Thunder-Splinter Talisman and took shelter with Su Zhenzhen behind a fourth-grade defensive formation. Su Zhenzhen exploited his injured divine sense to borrow his fortune, and two months later she said her fortune had been reborn while He Pingsheng remained short of full recovery.

• The Heaven-Transposing Daoist survived He Pingsheng's first Thunder-Splinter Talisman with a turtle-shell treasure, but retreated when He Pingsheng threatened to use a second.
• He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen completed a fourth-grade defensive formation around the Mountain Cave as his divine sense worsened.
• Su Zhenzhen revealed she knew He Pingsheng was a Great Fortune Bearer and said she wanted to borrow his fortune to advance her Great Dao.
• With He Pingsheng too weak to resist, Su Zhenzhen let down her hair and asked him to forgive her as she borrowed his fortune.
• Two months later, He Pingsheng had restored only ten percent of his divine sense, while Su Zhenzhen said her fortune had been reborn.

After repairing his five golden cores, He Pingsheng discovered he had broken through to the twelfth Golden Core layer and continued restoring his divine sense. When the Heaven-Transposing Daoist returned with two Qi Kingdom Nascent Soul cultivators, He Pingsheng killed the Daoist and unleashed the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner against the remaining pursuers.

• He Pingsheng used Origin-Stabilizing Pills to repair all five golden cores and realized he had advanced to the twelfth Golden Core layer.
• He Pingsheng concluded his breakthrough likely came from surviving his battle with Jiang Yu and resumed cultivating to restore his divine sense.
• The Heaven-Transposing Daoist arrived with two Qi Kingdom Nascent Soul cultivators, who began attacking He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen's defensive formation.
• He Pingsheng left Su Zhenzhen inside the formation and killed the Heaven-Transposing Daoist with a black spear.
• He Pingsheng unfurled the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner, releasing two powerful evil ghosts to attack the Nascent Soul cultivators.

He Pingsheng used a fourth-grade talisman to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator and drive another away, then traveled with Su Zhenzhen to the Ghost Abyss. They arrived at the vast abyss, whose surging yin energy reminded He Pingsheng of a cave in Golden Dragon Ravine.

• He Pingsheng found the Heaven-Transposing Daoist’s defensive turtle shell in his storage ring while two vicious ghosts fought the Qi Kingdom cultivators.
• He Pingsheng activated the Golden Silence Finger Talisman, killing the third-layer Nascent Soul cultivator while the other Nascent Soul cultivator fled with the dead man’s ring.
• He Pingsheng collected the slain cultivator’s lingering soul into the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner and told Su Zhenzhen they needed to leave before more enemies arrived.
• He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen used the Eight-Treasure Ship and a map to determine their location, then traveled cautiously toward the Ghost Abyss.
• After seven or eight days, He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen reached the Ghost Abyss, where torrents of yin baleful energy reminded He Pingsheng of Golden Dragon Ravine.

He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen entered the Ghost Abyss, where his Ten-Thousand Souls Banner protected them from yin energy and ghosts. After they established a defensive formation, He Pingsheng examined a turtle shell inherited from the Spirit Realm and discovered it might be a blood-refined treasure.

• He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen reached the Ghost Abyss, and he used the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner to absorb its yin energy.
• Su Zhenzhen admitted she had no affection for He Pingsheng and was using him, while he acknowledged that he desired her.
• He Pingsheng led Su Zhenzhen into the abyss, where his ghost kings devoured the nearby low-level ghosts.
• He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen built a defensive formation and settled inside the space cleared by the banner.
• He Pingsheng took out the Heaven-Transposing Daoist's turtle shell, and Su Zhenzhen said it had been passed down from the Spirit Realm.
• He Pingsheng infused the shell with magic power, revealing flowing patterns and symbols that suggested it was a blood-refined treasure.

He Pingsheng recovered his divine sense in the Ghost Abyss, refined a powerful turtle-shell treasure, and prepared to leave for his Nascent Soul tribulation. He departed with Su Zhenzhen, still hoping his future cultivation would help him find his wife, Qiao Huizhu.

• He Pingsheng blood-refined the turtle shell, but the Treasure-Gathering Basin could not enhance it because its grade was too high.
• Over three years, He Pingsheng restored his divine sense and raised both his divine refining and body refining to the twelfth layer.
• He Pingsheng finished refining the turtle shell, whose defense manifested as a powerful divine turtle phantom, and took out a supreme-grade Transformation-Breaking Pill.
• He Pingsheng set yin and yang right with Su Zhenzhen, then put away the enormous Ten-Thousand Souls Banner.
• He Pingsheng summoned the Eight-Treasure Ship and left the Ghost Abyss with Su Zhenzhen to find a place to undergo his Nascent Soul tribulation.
• He Pingsheng checked Qiao Huizhu's Life Tablet and saw that it remained intact.

He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen were ambushed by Great Qi’s cultivators as they left the Ghost Abyss, and the noble consort of Great Qi trapped him in the Seventeen Southern Dipper Formation to avenge her son. He Pingsheng survived the formation’s attacks and struck back, but the barrier held.

• He Pingsheng used his perfected Heavenly Eye Geomancy True Canon to scout the Ghost Abyss and led Su Zhenzhen toward the Eight-Treasure Ship.
• A golden attack struck as He Pingsheng and Su Zhenzhen reached the Ghost Abyss’s edge, so he sent her into a Great Freedom Pearl and dodged the next strike.
• He Pingsheng found himself trapped inside a fourth-grade formation controlled by seventeen Great Nascent Soul cultivators, while Great Qi’s noble consort revealed her motive for seeking revenge.
• The noble consort attacked He Pingsheng with the formation, and he used his turtle-shell treasure to withstand the starlight strikes while dodging the weaker attacks.
• He Pingsheng replenished his magic power and fired seven Ice Arrows at the noble consort, but the formation’s membrane blocked the attack.

He Pingsheng wore down the seventeen Great Nascent Souls powering the formation, then broke it with his Divine Abilities and Golden Silence Finger Talisman. He killed the Purple-Robed Noble Consort and three more Nascent Souls before the survivors escaped, then collected the dead cultivators' belongings and souls.

• He Pingsheng dodged the formation's attacks and used Icefield Divine Dew to sustain himself while the seventeen Great Nascent Souls gradually lost power.
• The Purple-Robed Noble Consort proposed withdrawing the formation and attacking together, but the others objected because they feared He Pingsheng's strength.
• He Pingsheng unleashed Heavenly Snow Locks the Realm and then the Golden Silence Finger Talisman, weakening the formation until several cultivators fled and it collapsed.
• He Pingsheng killed the Purple-Robed Noble Consort with his black Divine Spear and slew three more Great Nascent Souls as the others fled using Spatial Instantaneous Teleportation.
• He Pingsheng gathered the dead cultivators' rings and Glazed Nascent Souls and collected their souls in the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner.

He Pingsheng used the Transformation-Breaking Pill to form five nascent souls and survived the nine-nine heavenly tribulation in a desert. After stabilizing his cultivation, he found that his divine sense had expanded to Spirit Transformation range but remained formless, and Su Zhenzhen asked what he would do next.

• He Pingsheng displayed eight glazed nascent souls, inspected the four spatial rings, and found a Divine Refining Pill.
• He Pingsheng took Su Zhenzhen to a remote desert and told her to guard him from ten thousand zhang away.
• He Pingsheng swallowed the Transformation-Breaking Pill, shattered his five golden cores, and condensed five elemental nascent souls, triggering a heavenly tribulation.
• He Pingsheng endured the tribulation’s nine lightning bolts with his defensive techniques, Seven-Buckle Sharp-Gold Armor, and blood-red turtle shell, but received no golden clouds afterward.
• He Pingsheng examined his new cultivation and found his divine sense reached a hundred thousand zhang but could not take tangible form.
• After two days, He Pingsheng finished stabilizing his cultivation, and Su Zhenzhen asked what he planned to do next.
