Lin Mo disrupted Centipede’s gathering attack with Silent Dark, Absolute Light and redirected its fury toward himself, leaving Centipede’s denser black orb hurtling at him.

The projection revealed that Lin Mo survived by transforming into his Wood Wight avatar, while Yunxin and the others watched in alarm.

• Lin Mo recovered from the Centipede’s attack, used his swords to destroy it from within, and killed it with the Northern Dipper Ancient Swords.
• The Gu-Devouring Bee retrieved the Scarlet Radiance Blood Spirit Seed and found the Centipede’s demon core, which Lin Mo stored before heading toward the grotto-heaven’s center.

• A radiant cloud rushed toward Lin Mo, shrank into a Nine-Colored Cloud Cluster, and entered his dantian without harming him.

• Yunxin accepted that the Nine-Colored Auspicious Cloud had chosen Lin Mo and asked whether he would give it up for the Silken Cloud Palace’s legacy.

• Lin Mo asked the Silken Cloud Palace to remain friendly with his side and hand over the Shaking Light Ancient Sword from its earth vein.

After leaving the Silken Cloud Palace, he realized the Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds' speed could grow with his cultivation, while Xue Qingcheng challenged him to test his escape technique.

In Xuanyuan City, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Hong awaited a supreme-grade Void Spirit Pill for the ailing Liu Qing, until a haughty young girl disrupted the city’s Air-Sealing Formation.

• The side hall doors opened, and the powerful fragrance from Lin Mo’s pills convinced the onlookers that he had succeeded.

• Xuanyuan Hong gave Lin Mo six Northern Dipper Ancient Swords, dropped the matter of the Snow Demon Queen disrupting the pill refining, and refused to give him the Heavenly Balance Sword.

Lin Mo apologized to a Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster for the Queen’s disruption and offered him Special Spirit Liquid, whose effects astonished the gathered cultivators. The Chu-Surnamed Elder accepted a bottle and let Xuanyuan Hong examine it only after extracting a promise that it would be returned.

• Lin Mo stored the six Ancient Swords and gave a bottle of Special Spirit Liquid to the Spirit Transformation middle-stage cultivator whose pill had shattered.
• The cultivator sensed the liquid’s restorative vitality, declared it more valuable than a Void God Pill, and claimed only Primordial Antiquity pills could rival it.
• A slightly plump elder offered Lin Mo a Spirit-Restoring Pill for another bottle, but Lin Mo gave him the liquid as an introductory gift instead.
• After tasting its effects, the Chu-Surnamed Elder changed his attitude toward Lin Mo and guarded his bottle closely.
• Xuanyuan Hong asked whether the liquid could rival Primordial Antiquity pills, and the Chu-Surnamed Elder let him examine it only after securing his promise to return it.

Lin Mo used the special spirit liquid to persuade Xuanyuan Hong to give up the Heavenly Balance Ancient Sword, which Xuanyuan Hong wanted to obtain for Liu Qing. Beneath the Human Emperor Hall, Xuanyuan Hong agreed to let Lin Mo take the sword after learning Lin Mo could destroy the Nine-Nine Soul-Devouring Formations.

• Lin Mo said the Big Dipper Nine Swords had destroyed the formations at several sects, and Xuanyuan Hong recognized him as this era's Master of Destiny.
• Xuanyuan Hong acknowledged that the Heavenly Balance Ancient Sword was bound to Lin Mo and invited him to take it.

• Xuanyuan Hong realized that Liu Qing's lifespan had ended, despite believing she had three years left to live.

With Liu Qing at the end of her lifespan, Lin Mo brought her into the Treasure Gourd Space and asked the gourd to grant her ten more days. As the gourd answered, the Jianmu sapling’s leaves withered and Lin Mo’s hair turned gray-white.

• Lin Mo poured all ten drops of genuine Spirit Spring Water into Liu Qing’s mouth, but it only faintly slowed her decline.
• Lin Mo asked Xuanyuan Hong for permission to make one last attempt to save Liu Qing, and Xuanyuan Hong agreed.

• Lin Mo asked the Treasure Gourd to add ten days to Liu Qing’s lifespan, and the Gourd Space shook as the Jianmu sapling’s leaves withered and Lin Mo’s hair turned gray-white.

Lin Mo used the Treasure Gourd to restore Liu Qing at the cost of his own life essence, leaving his hair gray-white and her with only ten days to advance to spirit transformation. Liu Qing began her tribulation at the Ancestral Shrine, and Lin Mo was awakened when the eighth bolt appeared.

• Lin Mo cultivated quietly while the Jianmu Sapling absorbed spiritual energy to replenish him, and Xue Qingcheng later called him when Liu Qing's eighth bolt appeared.

During Liu Qing’s Spirit Transformation tribulation, the jianmu sapling absorbed traces of spatial and time law, restoring Lin Mo’s hair and vitality. Liu Qing completed her advancement, and Xuanyuan Hong offered to grant Lin Mo any condition in gratitude.

• The jianmu sapling and Nine-Colored Auspicious Cloud reacted to the spatial law in Liu Qing’s eighth tribulation bolt while Lin Mo was unable to comprehend it himself.

Lin Mo secured Xuanyuan Hong’s help in obtaining the remaining ancient swords, while the Seven Baleful Nether Venerable prepared to unleash one hundred thousand evil spirit clones across the Divine Land.

• Lin Mo asked Xuanyuan Hong to let his friends and younger sister use the Human Emperor Ancestral Shrine for their spirit transformation tribulations, and Xuanyuan Hong agreed.
• Liu Qing asked Xuanyuan Hong to help Lin Mo obtain the remaining ancient swords, and Xuanyuan Hong promised to accompany Lin Mo within half a month.
• The Seven Baleful Nether Venerable revealed that one hundred thousand evil spirit clones had taken shape and ordered the High Priest to use them to slaughter cultivators and refine Tai Sui Pills.
• The High Priest shrank and took the White Bone Altar, then proposed drawing the Twelve Ancient Sects’ cultivators from their sects and defeating them one by one.

Lin Mo gathered all nine Northern Dipper Ancient Swords but doubted the Big Dipper Sword Formation’s power. A message from the Eastern Isles revealed that the Tai Sui Gate High Priest and a Mysterious Demon had attacked, forcing the Azure Cloud Sect to flee to the Deep Sea Stone Formation and leaving Senior Cao’s fate unknown.

• Lin Mo learned that both Senior Turtles were badly wounded and that Senior Cao had stayed behind to cover the retreat and might have died.

Lin Mo learned that the Big Dipper Sword Formation needed a formation diagram to reach its full power against the Seven Baleful Nether Venerable’s evil spirit incarnation. He volunteered to search the Primordial Antiquity Ruins for the Ancient Painting Scroll, though Yang Fenggu warned that the ruins were an unpredictable place within the void and might not contain it.

• Hai Beier feared that Senior Cao might not recover his memories even if his spore clones survived, while Yang Fenggu assured Lin Mo that the Azure Cloud Sect and the Spirit Turtle Sect were protected.
• Yang Fenggu identified the mysterious fiend as a likely incarnation of the Seven Baleful Nether Venerable and explained that the Twelve Ancient Sects’ Sealing Formation had to be saved for the Venerable’s true body.
• Yang Fenggu told Lin Mo that the Big Dipper Sword Formation lacked a formation eye and that an Ancient Painting Scroll might be the only material capable of bearing its complete patterns.
• Lin Mo considered using the Spirit-Devouring Vine’s root ball as a formation diagram but rejected the risk of destroying it.
• Lin Mo volunteered to enter the Primordial Antiquity Ruins and find the Ancient Painting Scroll, and Yang Fenggu warned him that the ruins had no entrance and might not contain the scroll.

Lin Mo entered the Primordial Antiquity Ruins to search for materials for the Big Dipper Formation Diagram, despite warnings that the ruins could endanger him. Inside, he saw nine suns and a flock of Sun-Eating Nether Crows, which he realized should have gone extinct in Primordial Antiquity.

• Lin Mo promised Yang Fenggu he would search the ruins for materials to refine the Big Dipper Formation Diagram, and Yang Fenggu took him there.
• Xue Qingcheng warned that Lin Mo's World Tree Bloodline could make him assimilate into the ruins, while Xuanyuan Hong trusted him to resist their illusions.
• Yang Fenggu gave Lin Mo a Spatial Jade Talisman and warned him that nine of sixteen Nascent Soul cultivators had died exploring the ruins.
• Lin Mo flew into the ruins on the Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds and pondered how reality and illusion were intertwined there.
