• The Golden Core Cultivators reached the Underworld location corresponding to the Round-Faced Daoist Nun's Lineage and hesitated over whether to seize Wang Quan's Magic Treasure.

• The Golden Core Cultivators mocked Wang Quan and used a crude spell to make the Light-Splitting Mirror appear to ask to return to its masters.

The Western Extremity Household’s Golden Core cultivators agreed to serve Wang Quan’s senior sister after learning that his order to conscript them came with overwhelming backing. Wang Quan observed the self-aware cultivation realms separated by his Light-Splitting Mirror, which ended by confronting him.

• The Western Extremity Household’s Golden Core cultivators received orders to join the polar battlefield and learned that the Lineage prodigies had received the same summons.
• The prodigies told the Golden Core cultivators to accept Wang Quan’s demands, reasoning that his Magic Treasures and swift conscription order showed he had powerful backing and high clearance.

Wang Quan forced Golden Core Cultivators from the [Western Extremity] to provide resources in exchange for lifting conscription, then used the [Light-Splitting Mirror] to capture one cultivator’s escaped cultivation realms. The newly separated Golden Core and Purple Mansion refused to serve him, so Wang Quan planned to take them to the Far West and brainwash them.

• Wang Quan ordered the [Western Extremity] Golden Core Cultivators to deliver resources to the [Drowning Water] Lower Court before he would lift conscription, and kept one cultivator behind.

• Wang Quan decided to immobilize the two realms and take them back to the Far West for brainwashing, saying he would install brains for them if necessary.

• Wang Quan refused to return the Golden Core cultivator’s Purple Mansion, and the cultivator aged rapidly before dying.
• Wang Quan used the [Seventy-Two Pentads Lamp] to vaporize the dead cultivator’s soul.

• The [Western Extremity] Household learned that the Golden Core cultivator who stayed with Wang Quan had died and suspected Wang Quan had killed him.
• The Household leaders decided to satisfy Wang Quan’s demands and seek his help in lifting the conscription order.

• The Western Extremity Lineage gathered materials and sent Golden Core cultivators to deliver them to Wang Quan, while carrying a letter about the anomalies and their backer.
• Wang Quan accepted the materials but said he would release the lineage from conscription in a year unless they provided everything he wanted.
• A Golden Core cultivator read the letter aloud, revealing that the Great One Alliance had ordered the release of the anomalies and was the lineage's backer.
• Wang Quan said he would lift the order in eleven months and revealed that the lineage was being sent to Stone City, which was under his jurisdiction.
• The Golden Core cultivators threatened to fight and harm Wang Quan's allies, but Wang Quan pointed to his magic treasures and told them to direct their threats at those instead.

Wang Quan threatened the [Western Extremity] Lineage with his five Magic Treasures, then spent ten days helping Senior Sister Round Face's Lineage expand its foothold in the Underworld. The chapter ended with Senior Sister Round Face describing the growing popularity of the New Method, and Wang Quan asking what made it so appealing.

• Wang Quan told the [Western Extremity] Golden Core Cultivators he would wait at Senior Sister Round Face's home, the Drowning Dao Lower Court, and Stone City until they acted against him.

• Wang Quan spent ten days studying and practicing while helping Senior Sister Round Face's Lineage purchase residences in the Underworld, strengthening its foothold and the Second Layer's safe zone.
• Senior Sister Round Face told Wang Quan that the New Method was spreading, with increasingly mature systems and classifications for spiritual roots and the hundred arts, and Wang Quan asked what benefits it offered.

Wang Quan learned why New-Method Cultivators were promoted and left resources with Senior Sister Round Face, who organized her lineage into the Eight Divisions. Back at the Drowning Dao Lower Court, he studied its Fire Mulberry Trees and observed that tensions between Orthodox and New-Method Cultivators had intensified.

• The Round-Faced Daoist Nun explained that New-Method Cultivators matured quickly, cost fewer resources, and provided valuable Golden Core-grade corpses after death.
• The Round-Faced Daoist Nun planned to raise thirty-six teams of New-Method Cultivators as shields, fighters, specialists, and materials for her lineage, and Wang Quan helped design the scheme.
• After the Western Extremity household's Golden Core Cultivators failed to appear, Wang Quan concluded that their lineage was finished and returned to the Drowning Dao Lower Court after leaving Senior Sister Round Face gifts and resources.
• Senior Sister Round Face organized thirty-six New-Method teams into eight departments, then planned to use Purple Mansion resources to strengthen her lineage and eventually possess one of her descendants.
• Wang Quan studied the Daoist Scriptures and compared Qian Xiuyue's Fire Mulberry Trees with his own, finding that hers refined sunlight less efficiently.
• Wang Quan observed that the Drowning Dao Lower Court's population and New-Method Cultivator numbers had surged, while conflict between Orthodox and New-Method factions had grown more severe, even within the Great Sun Alliance.

Wang Quan left the Drowning Dao Lower Court for the Far Western Land after Qian Xiuyue warned him about the Wind of Hysteria. In the White Land Forbidden Zone, Ghost Emperor Heart returned aboard the Terminator Ship, and the Flagellator hurried to greet him.

• Qian Xiuyue told Wang Quan that conflicts between the New Method and Orthodox Cultivators benefited the Great Sun Alliance, and she dismissed the possibility of New-Method Cultivators surpassing Golden Core.
• After ten days without an attack, Wang Quan bade Qian Xiuyue farewell and set out for the Far Western Land, traveling through the Underworld.

• Ghost Emperor Heart's Terminator Ship arrived in the White Land Forbidden Zone, where cultivators recognized it and lowered their weapons.
• The Flagellator, who had become a guardian of the White Land and led underlings in planting evils, ran to welcome Ghost Emperor Heart.

[Ghost Emperor Heart] welcomed the Yang Spirit, Golden Core, and Purple Mansion into his forces in the Third-Layer World, while the two smaller beings secretly planned to gather their kind. In the Present World, Wang Quan returned to Stone City, where Ruo Jinghong and a few Dao Seal Cultivators met with him.

• [Ghost Emperor Heart] showed the three brothers his White Land safe zone and persuaded the Yang Spirit to join him after the brothers had endured his beatings.
• [Ghost Emperor Heart] brought the brothers to a tavern, where Golden Core Cultivators examined the Golden Core and Purple Mansion while he ordered them to stay quiet.
• The Golden Core and Purple Mansion contacted their kin within the cultivators and began planning to awaken them, while the Yang Spirit set out to survey the White Land and plot to take control of it.
• Wang Quan returned from the Drowning Dao Lower Court to Stone City through the Underworld, then stored his Magic Treasure in his Inner Landscape to begin refining it.
• Ruo Jinghong and several Dao Seal Cultivators visited Wang Quan and discussed changes in Stone City.

Wang Quan returned to Stone City and heard reports about the growing safe zone, the Underworld’s unrest, and the worsening abnormal weather. He approved a plan to infiltrate the rebels in City No. 95 and learned that Mei Niang’s [One Loving Family] was drawing Evil beings into cooperation.

• Wang Quan learned that the Second-Layer World safe zone had expanded and that worshippers in the Underworld had increased under Ruo Jinghong and Tongtong’s guidance.
• The Officiant and Dream Nun warned that abnormal weather was battering Stone City, so Wang Quan ordered everyone to worship around the clock and halted the city’s expansion.
• Ying Jiaren reported that rebel sympathizers were causing covert trouble in City No. 95, and Wang Quan explained why the city mattered to Ring No. 95.
• Ruo Jinghong proposed joining the rebels as a ruse to infiltrate and dismantle them from within, and Wang Quan agreed to let her try.
• Mei Niang said the [All-Heavens Banner] had helped the group manage Evil beings in the Second-Layer World, while her [One Loving Family] encouraged alliances across races.

Wang Quan dealt with Stone City’s worsening abnormal weather and recruited Dao Seal Cultivators to help worship the seasons. He then implanted loyalty-filled brains into Golden Core and Purple Mansion Spirit Monsters, and after examining their inner structures, resolved to establish his own Purple Mansion.

• Wang Quan learned that the Present World’s abnormal weather was Stone City’s greatest problem, and Mei Niang said only prolonged effort or Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land cultivators could clear it.
• Wang Quan and the other cultivators agreed to increase their worship of spring, summer, autumn, and winter to help resist the abnormal weather.
• Wang Quan had Bump Spirit Monsters carve loyalty to Flower-Scatter Daoist Wang Quan into a brain, then implanted it in a Golden Core Spirit Monster.
• The Golden Core Spirit Monster woke and repeatedly shouted loyalty to Wang Quan, even after pulling out and destroying its implanted brain.
• Wang Quan implanted a loyalty brain in a Purple Mansion Spirit Monster, and both monsters became his loyal guards.
• Wang Quan examined the Spirit Monsters’ inner realms, concluded the Purple Mansion structure was too ordinary and the Golden Core’s mysteries beyond his current understanding, and decided to establish his own Purple Mansion after preparing for several days.
