Lin Mo offered to help Lin Yang despite Ying Tianxiao’s warning, but the Eagle-Fighting Tribe came under attack from Xiong Yan and the War Bear Tribe. As the battle turned against Ying Tianxiao, Xiong Yan revealed a spirit ring that greatly increased his strength.
Lin Mo protected Ying Tianxiao from the War Bear Tribe and faced Xiong Yan after the bear warrior unleashed his primordial ancestor state. Lin Mo evaded Xiong Yan’s attacks and began overwhelming him with the White Tiger’s Hundredfold Fist Dance.
Lin Mo and the Eagle-Fighting Tribe defeated the invading War Bear Tribe army, and Ying Tianxiao agreed to take Lin Mo to the Divine Deer Tribe to meet Lin Yang. At the War Bear Tribe, Xiong Shan learned of Xiong Yan’s death and set out to ally with the Red Wolf Tribe for revenge.
Lin Mo and his companions went to the Divine Deer Tribe to meet Lin Yang, but the hostile guards provoked a battle at the city gate. Lin Mo’s attacks overwhelmed the deer soldiers until a mysterious Golden Bell appeared and absorbed his heavenly flame.
Lin Mo confronted Lin Yang, chief of the Divine Deer Tribe, over his hatred of humans and argued that his vengeance made him unworthy of being called a sage. Lin Yang was shaken by Lin Mo’s words and invited him into the city.
Lin Mo asked Lin Yang to help him obtain the power of the Heavenly Master Divine Talisman to counter Black-Plumed Peacock Blood, and persuaded Lin Yang not to attack the human world if its seal was removed. Lin Yang agreed but required Lin Mo to eliminate the Red Wolf Tribe before they could take the talisman’s power.
Xiong Shan persuaded Lang Wei to consider an alliance against the Eagle-Fighting Tribe, but Ying Tianxiao’s surprise attack on Red Wolf territory forced Lang Wei to mobilize. The Red Wolf Tribe and War Bear Tribe joined the battle, where the Eagle-Fighting Tribe and Lin Mo continued fighting under heavy opposition.
Lin Mo faced the allied chiefs of the Red Wolf Tribe and War Bear Tribe after they cornered him on the battlefield. He escaped their opening attacks and counterattacked Xiong Shan with the White Tiger Movement Technique, leaving the fight unresolved.
Lin Mo struggled to hold off Xiong Shan and Lang Wei as the Eagle-Fighting Tribe faced defeat, until Lin Yang arrived over the battlefield. Lang Wei questioned whether Lin Yang had come to support the Eagle-Fighting Tribe or would hear the Red Wolf Tribe's side.
Lin Yang gave Lin Mo a branch that could function despite Ten Thousand Fiends Mountain’s Demon Power, allowing Lin Mo to unleash a powerful sword attack. Lin Mo struck Xiong Shan with the branch’s sword intent and left him encased in green crystal, while the demons watched in shock.
Lin Mo killed Xiong Shan and cornered Lang Wei, whose desperate attacks prompted Lin Mo to discover that the branch had fused with his hand and revealed the world tree divine tree’s offensive power. As Lang Wei attacked again, Lin Yang stopped Ying Tianxiao from intervening, confident Lin Mo could handle him.
Lin Mo defeated Lang Wei with Nature's Fury Fist, securing victory in the war, while Lin Yang revealed that the Demon Race must coexist peacefully with humans after the seal on Ten Thousand Fiends Mountain was lifted. As Lin Mo and his companions returned to the Divine Deer Tribe, Lin Yang identified the Azure Spirit Branch as a powerful artifact and said he had returned it to its rightful owner.
Lin Mo began absorbing the White-Spirit Immortal Crane’s power from the Heavenly Master Divine Talisman, but the draining seal released ancient Shadow Demons. Lin Yang explained they could only be sealed again and prepared staffs for the group to use.
Lin Yang and his allies sealed hundreds of Shadow Demons while Lin Mo neared the end of absorbing the Heavenly Master Divine Talisman. A mysterious male corpse appeared and proved immune to their attacks, leaving Lin Yang able to restrain it only briefly with the Sheep Spirit Bell.
As the male corpse advanced on Lin Mo and the Heavenly Master Divine Talisman, Shi Lan, Gongsun Fu, and Lin Yang risked their lives to delay it. After Lin Yang’s defense failed, Lin Mo unleashed a sword strike that severed the corpse’s head.
Lin Mo killed the Male Corpse, discovering it was the second of the three corpses he needed to slay before forming his nascent soul. After failing to refine the Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pill, he traveled with Lin Yang and his companions to the Kunlun Continent to seek Gongsun Fu's grandfather's help, while Lin Yang hinted at Lin Mo's immense hidden secret.
Lin Mo arrived in Immortal Herb King City with Shi Lan and Gongsun Fu, hoping the Hundred Spirits Alliance could help him refine the Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pill. After hearing about Lin Mo’s repeated failures, Gongsun Qian said the problem was troublesome because the pill was essential to neutralizing Black-Plumed Peacock Blood poison.
Lin Mo and Shi Lan joined the Hundred Spirits Alliance’s Grand Luotian Offering while waiting for its new leader, Zhang Tianling, to help refine a Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pill. The ceremony proceeded without Zhang Tianling, who was revealed to be resting on the Back Mountain.
Zhang Tianling resisted attending the Grand Luotian Offering until Gongsun Qian reminded him of his duties as alliance leader, and he agreed to lead the afternoon pill-refining ceremony. Lin Mo watched as Zhang Tianling and thirty-five other alchemists began refining pills with the Five Elements Imperial Heaven Cauldron, leaving the guests impressed by his skill.
Zhang Tianling and the Hundred Spirits Alliance’s alchemists refined flawless Void God Pills, and he promised to help Lin Mo make a Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pill the next day. Before Shi Lan could swallow her pill, Lin Mo discovered that both pills concealed poisonous insects.
After guests across Immortal Herb King City were poisoned by the Void God Pills, Zhang Tianling and Gongsun Qian moved to investigate the culprit and protect the Hundred Spirits Alliance’s reputation. Zhang Tianling caught a fleeing black-clad man, but the attacker broke free and escaped into the forest as two golden lights appeared.
Lin Mo helped Zhang Tianling capture a fox demon who had infiltrated the Hundred Spirits Alliance and poisoned the guests, but the demon killed himself before revealing who sent him. After the alliance cured every victim, Zhang Tianling began refining the Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pill for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo and Zhang Tianling refined three thousand Spirit Feather Evil-Repelling Pills, but Lin Mo decided they must first eliminate the Heaven-Connecting Church Master before curing the Southern Region’s controlled cultivators. Back in Shadow Ink State, Lin Mo found the church gathering at the Shadow Ink Divine Temple to welcome an ancestral master, then witnessed tens of thousands of followers kneel to greet their Church Master.
Lin Feng and Shi Lan witnessed the Heaven-Connecting Church Master demand 25,000 hearts as an offering for his grandmaster. Lin Mo intervened to stop the followers from killing themselves and restrained them, leaving him facing the Church Master.
Lin Mo confronted the Heaven-Connecting Church Master and learned that he was connected to the Netherworld’s plans for the Divine Land. After Lin Mo exposed the Church Master as a tiger demon, the enemy transformed into a primordial ancestor state and reached Tribulation Transcendence True Person strength.
