Lin Mo agreed to trade his Special Spirit Liquid with the Deep Sea Royal Clan and traveled with the princess toward the Deep Sea Palace. The chapter ended with the aging Deep Sea King, Hai Dafu, lamenting his fear of death inside his secluded scallop.
Lin Mo presented Hai Dafu with Spirit Spring Water in hopes of negotiating a trade, while Hai Dafu's daughter confronted her father over his cowardice. After learning that Lin Mo and the two Spirit Turtle seniors had already dealt with the Sinful Dragon's skeleton, Hai Dafu drank the spirit liquid and began recovering his vitality.
Lin Mo traded for a Bodhi Seed after the mysterious spirit plant in his dantian reacted to it, and Hai Dafu offered him high-grade spirit liquid and a Seven-Colored Pearl instead of the supreme-grade spirit liquid he requested. The chapter ended with Hai Dafu explaining that the pearl could greatly extend a cultivator’s lifespan.
Lin Mo traded spirit liquid with Hai Dafu for a Seven-Colored Pearl that could extend his parents’ lifespans, then left with Hai Beier. At Spirit Turtle Island, Qionghengzi reported that expanding black light had turned the Western Region into a hell, just as Lin Mo returned with the Sea Tribe princess.
Lin Mo set out with Hai Beier for the Western Region to rescue Liu Xianzong as Buddha Hand Peak struggled against the black miasma. Master Zhichang sensed that help would come from the distant Eastern Isles.
Lin Mo and Hai Bei'er arrived in the devastated Sacred Heart City and headed for Buddha's Hand Peak, where Zong E was preparing to take Liu Xianzong away from the Western Region. Lin Mo called out to them just as they were about to depart.
Lin Mo and Hai Beier arrived at Buddha Hand Peak, where Zonge revealed that a Buddhist treasure could counter the Western Region Calamity. After Liu Xianzong used spirit spring water to sense the evil light, he located its strongest source far to the northwest and detected a powerful half-step spirit transformation cultivator there.
The Faceless Buddha Statue attacked Buddha Hand Peak, forcing Lin Mo to infuse the Bodhi Seed with spirit spring water while Esoteric Buddhism defended the mountain. The statue’s assault nearly broke the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation, and it turned its attention toward Lin Mo and the Sacred Bodhi Tree.
Lin Mo and Liu Xianzong survived the Formless Demon Seed’s pressure while Zonge and the Buddhist monks struggled to hold the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation. As the demon prepared to attack with six corrupted Buddhist treasures, Zhikong tried to delay him with a debate, but Hai Beier challenged his justification for slaughtering living beings.
The Formless Demon Seed’s Evil Light Canopy overwhelmed the three old monks and Hai Beier, while Lin Mo struggled to understand how the newly sprouted Bodhi Seed could help. The canopy finally broke through their defenses and descended upon them.
Lin Mo used the Spirit-Devouring Vine to rescue the three eminent monks and Hai Beier, then raised twenty-eight Grass and Wood Demon-Sealing Formations to hold back the Formless Demon Seed’s canopy. When Zonge said the Bodhi Tree might need the World Tree’s aura to awaken, Lin Mo suspected the spirit plant in his dantian and the Treasure Gourd were connected to the World Tree.
Lin Mo awakened the Bodhi sapling’s power with blood carrying Jianmu’s aura and destroyed the Formless Demon Seed, ending the Western Region calamity. After learning Jianmu’s ancient roots lay in the Southern Wasteland, he set out to investigate the ruins with Hai Beier.
Three Tai Sui Gate cultivators searched the Jianmu Ruins for earth vein spirit springs so they could prevent the land’s spiritual energy from recovering. Lin Mo learned from Hai Beier that reviving all the earth veins could eradicate the Drought Demon, but that seemed impossible unless the World Tree grew again.
Lin Mo and Hai Beier reached an underground earth vein spirit spring, where three Tai Sui Gate cultivators were hiding as one attempted to break through to spirit transformation. Hai Beier attacked them, and Lin Mo offered her spirit spring water to help her finish the fight as a team.
Lin Mo tried to protect the injured Hai Beier as the man surnamed Qi’s Blood Baleful Light struck her and two Nascent Soul cultivators advanced. Lin Mo’s first attacks only bought a few breaths, leaving him to face them with his Greenwood Mystic Gourd Sword.
Lin Mo used the Greenwood Mystic Gourd Sword to wound two Nascent Soul cultivators, then healed himself with Authentic Spirit Spring Water. Hai Beier took over the fight and used the Seven-Colored Scallop to annihilate both cultivators, leaving only Qi's primordial spirit alive and begging for mercy.
Lin Mo and Hai Beier learned that the Mystic Ice Soul could end the Northern Plains’ Eternal Night and warned the seniors after killing a Tai Sui Gate half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator. The Tai Sui Gate High Priest mobilized all eleven protectors and thirty-six elders to march on the Southern Wasteland.
Lin Mo advanced to the second level of Golden Core and discovered that his blood could summon a root-like force that sought out earth vein spirit springs. As Hai Beier wondered whether he was a World Tree Descendant, her father and the Algae King arrived, and Lin Mo considered helping the ancient spirit plant advance.
Lin Mo’s World Tree Fibrous Root began reconnecting the earth veins in the Jianmu Ruins, and the others mistook him for a World Tree Descendant. He gave Senior Cao spirit liquid in exchange for a Heavenheart Sunflower Gall, a treasure that could help Lin Mo condense a second nascent soul after reaching Nascent Soul.
Lin Mo tested the Heavenheart Sunflower Gall and used its gift to bargain with Hai Dafu for a Seven-Colored Conch Shell, then shared spirit spring water with the deep-sea elders. Hai Dafu hid Lin Mo's human body and laid out the urgent threats facing the Southern Frontier.
Hai Dafu and the others planned how to withstand the Tai Sui Gate’s terrifying High Priest and its forces while the World Tree’s roots connected through the earth veins. Their potential ally from the Penglai Commerce Association arrived, recognized Hai Beier as a turtle descendant, and reacted with surprise at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo, trapped in his simulated Spirit Turtle body, met Gu Youfang and received a Soul-Calming Abacus Bead as a greeting gift. Hai Dafu revealed the life-restoring power of Lin Mo’s Special Spirit Liquid, leaving Gu Youfang eager to trade for it.
Lin Mo exchanged ten drops of spirit spring water for Gu Youfang’s Penglai Token and decided to travel north to seize the Mystic Ice Soul and stop Eternal Night. A spirit transformation clone agreed to escort him to the Northern Frontier, while the others remained in the Southern Frontier to guard the earth veins.
Lin Mo crossed the frozen Northern Plains during Eternal Night and reached Lingbei City, where he learned that snow demons had surrounded the Ice Palace. He went to a Penglai Commerce Association branch to prepare for the journey there, presenting Gu Youfang’s token to the shopkeeper.
Lin Mo obtained three ancient Snow Demon corpses and used the Heavenheart Sunflower Gall to create a Snow Demon body. He stored the body in the Seven-Colored Conch Shell, bringing his plan to infiltrate the Snow Demon Tribe and steal the Mystic Ice Soul closer to success.
