• The four companions each advanced three layers, and He Pingsheng told Taizhen they would stay in seclusion until the Heavenly Antiquity Ruins closed.

Three hundred years after the others broke through, He Pingsheng’s divine artifacts advanced, but their ability to absorb Daoist Laws did not improve. When the Heavenly Antiquity Ruins closed unexpectedly early, Golden Butterfly Immortal Sect forces captured him and his companions, leaving them in Yu Si’s custody.

He abandoned his plan to beat Yu Yingxian after learning how quickly he had grown, and Yu Yingxian unexpectedly gave him a ring before teleporting away.

• He Pingsheng asked Yu Si to find Yu Yingxian and planned to beat him and extort Nine-Orifice Exquisiteness.

• Yu Yingxian approached He Pingsheng, gave him a black ring, and teleported away with his Heavenly Antiquity Token.
• Yu Si was shocked that Yu Yingxian could teleport out of the Divine Dominion Side, and He Pingsheng told her to have her father open a passage to Celestial Water City.

He Pingsheng discovered that the two herbs Yu Yingxian had given him were Nine-Orifice Exquisiteness, which could help a Lesser God open nine Divine Apertures. After Yu Si arrived, he planned to take her to Celestial Scorpion Divine City to settle his feud with the Lu Household before sending her to deliver one herb to Wang Dun.

• He Pingsheng asked Tong Hao Tian to receive Yu Si when she arrived, then returned to his Great Hall with one of the herbs.
• Yu Si arrived and recognized the herb as precious Nine-Orifice Exquisiteness, so He Pingsheng asked her to take the other one to Wang Dun.
• Yu Si explained that reaching her father to open a spatial passage would take about a hundred years, so He Pingsheng decided to bring her to Celestial Scorpion Divine City and visit the Lu Household first.

• Yu Si’s Immortal Ship carried He Pingsheng to Celestial Scorpion Royal City in half a day.

• The Patriarch blasted Lu Qianyun to the ground, killing her, and He Pingsheng accepted the settlement.

He left with a high-grade divine meridian, a mysterious fragment, and a broken divine bone inscribed with the Thunder-Coiling Art of Renewal from Utter Depletion, with one selection still remaining.

• The Lu Household Patriarch led He Pingsheng and Yu Si into the household treasury and offered He Pingsheng any three items.
• He Pingsheng chose a high-grade divine meridian to support his growing lineage and its cultivation of [Three-Zhang Grain].

• He Pingsheng inspected a broken golden divine bone and discovered it held part of the lightning-assisted body-refining method called the Thunder-Coiling Art of Renewal from Utter Depletion.
• He Pingsheng chose the divine bone as his third item, leaving the nature of the fragment and the incomplete technique for later discovery.

• He Pingsheng gave Qiao Huizhu and Wen Buwan Heavenly Poison Mechanical Crossbows and poison pellets for self-defense, then began gathering the Three-Zhang Grain.

• Old Cao asked about He Pingsheng’s cultivation and warned him that devouring Daoist Law Origins could harm his Great Dao cultivation.

He Pingsheng learned that a Divine Artifact fragment contained Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, and had Purple Spirit and Red Spirit extract it while he cultivated and investigated a failed enhancement. After the spirits consumed the Qi, he asked what other uses it had.

• He Pingsheng questioned Purple Spirit and Red Spirit about a Divine Artifact fragment, and Purple Spirit identified Primordial Chaos Purple Qi inside it.
• Purple Spirit and Red Spirit extracted the Qi from the fragment, a process they estimated would take about a hundred years, while He Pingsheng entered seclusion.
• He Pingsheng discovered that the Treasure-Gathering Basin could not enhance a golden bone, so he copied its incomplete cultivation technique onto a jade slip and enhanced that instead.
• He Pingsheng cultivated the Thunder-Coiling Art of Renewal from Utter Depletion while Purple Spirit and Red Spirit finished extracting the Qi.
• He Pingsheng learned that the Basin could not increase the amount of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, then had Purple Spirit and Red Spirit devour half each and asked what other uses it had.

• Purple Spirit explained that Primordial Chaos Purple Qi could turn divine gold into growth-capable primordial purple gold and absorb Daoist laws for easier comprehension.
• Yu Si returned without finding Wang Dun in the Seven Mansions Divine Kingdom, but she safely brought back the jade box; He Pingsheng accepted her apology and asked whether she had a Dao companion.
• He Pingsheng spent seven, eleven, and nineteen yuan advancing successively to the Divine Command Realm Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Layers, while also refining his body and divine sense.
• Zhou Qingmei brought He Pingsheng a ring from Wang Dun, who sent a jade box containing nine-orifice exquisiteness and urged him to reach the Divine Spirit Realm soon.
• Zhou Qingmei asked He Pingsheng to punish her, reminding him that they had nearly performed the rites in the Immortal Realm and asking whether he still found her unworthy.
