Lu Feng fought his way across a monster-infested sea while carrying the gravely weakened Gu Xijue, relying on the Rusty Sword and the Five Directional Banners to survive. After nearly twenty more days at sea, he reached an island in the Abyss Demon Domain and landed cautiously despite the many Monster Beasts there.
The White-Haired Man ordered White Gold to intercept Gu Xijue while advancing a hidden plot involving the Black Tortoise Venerable’s residence. Meanwhile, Lu Feng escaped a cave full of demon rats on an island, only to face a charging Three-Headed Tiger.
Lu Feng fled the Rat Demons by climbing the mountain, but the Three-Headed Tiger chased him into its cave. Injured and nearly out of strength, he knocked down the tiger cub and came up with an idea after hearing its mother roar.
Lu Feng killed the adult and cub Three-Headed Tigers to escape the cave, then woke beside the recovering Fenfen Chengkuai and watched Gu Xijue fight. The high priest brought Meng Jiu to face Lu Feng in purgatory, leaving Lu Feng confused about what the high priest wanted.
Lu Feng tried to protect himself and the unconscious Fenfen Chengkuai on the island, but after she woke and confronted him, the story shifted to his unexpected rematch with Meng Jiu. Lu Feng was stunned when Meng Jiu proved far faster and stronger than before.
Lu Feng cared for Fenfen Chengkuai in the three-headed tiger's cave while she recovered, but a giant bear began marking the territory and forced him to prepare to leave. As Fenfen Chengkuai finally woke, flames erupted from her body and burned Lu Feng's clothes away, leaving them frozen in an awkward embrace.
Lu Feng tried to escape Gu Xijue’s wrath after she woke and accused him of taking liberties with her, but a Level-Nine Monster Beast interrupted them. As Gu Xijue fought the giant bear, Lu Feng seized the chance to flee the cave.
Lu Feng tried to escape Gu Xijue, but after she used him to kill a giant insect, he attempted to talk his way out of being killed. Gu Xijue captured him and considered whether to seize the Five Directional Banners, leaving Lu Feng in immediate danger.
Lu Feng defended himself to Gu Xijue after she woke and accused him of taking liberties, then accidentally revealed he had fed her soup mouth-to-mouth and provoked her fury again. He argued that rescuing and protecting her had cost him dearly, leaving their argument unresolved.
Lu Feng tried to escape Gu Xijue’s anger by insisting he had only helped her and claiming he loved her. After Gu Xijue caught him in a lie about their first meeting, she decided not to kill him because he had saved her.
Gu Xijue recovered from her injuries while keeping Lu Feng on the island as her cook and attendant, then asked why he risked his life for her. Lu Feng explained that he feared death but would face it for things he considered more important, leaving Gu Xijue waiting for his answer about why he came to help her.
Lu Feng traveled with Gu Xijue toward the Primordial Continent while trying to figure out how to escape going to her home. After more than half a month at sea, he asked to stop and rest, still without a plan to get away.
Lu Feng and Gu Xijue were ambushed at sea by dozens of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals sent by factions across the Kunlun Immortal Realm to capture her. Gu Xijue overwhelmed the attackers, but five more formed a Five Elements battle formation against her.
Lu Feng fled to Gu Xijue for protection as Primordial Unity Golden Immortals from the Kunlun Immortal Realm attacked them. A powerful sea creature struck Gu Xijue, and as her enemies rushed in to exploit her injury, an enormous figure emerged from the sea.
An Island King Whale crashed into the battle, forcing Gu Xijue to fight both the beast and the Kunlun Immortal Realm cultivators while protecting Lu Feng. After Gu Xijue was overwhelmed and Lu Feng fell from her grasp, the whale swallowed him.
The Island King Whale swallowed Lu Feng, and Gu Xijue fought it while the Kunlun Immortal Realm cultivators tried to kill her. She drove the whale away but could not find Lu Feng, whose fate remained unknown.
Lu Feng remained unconscious inside the Island King Whale as the Five Directional Banners protected him and tormented the whale. A dark substance from Lu Feng’s back began devouring the whale’s life force, and the whale raced toward a vast continent as Lu Feng woke.
An Island King Whale washed ashore after its essence, energy, and spirit were drained, and members of the Xiang Family gathered to inspect it. Just as Xiang Zhou moved to retrieve its inner core, a sword-wielding figure burst out of the whale.
Lu Feng escaped from the Island King Whale only to land on Witch Island, where the Witch Clan captured him as an enemy of the Immortal Race. After his attempt to flee across the sea failed, a powerful attacker charged at him.
Lu Feng fought Xiang Zhou and several Witch Clan warriors, relying on his treasures to withstand their attacks and nearly strike Xiang Zhou down. Xiang Wan intervened, knocked Lu Feng unconscious, and ended the fight.
At the Witch Clan’s Ancestor God Sacrifice, Xiang Zhou watched as others argued over his capture of Lu Feng, though he knew his father deserved the credit. Bound and unconscious, Lu Feng woke during the gathering and found himself facing the Pangu Statue.
Lu Feng was held in a Witch Clan valley, where he studied a Pangu statue, twelve strange energy-filled statues, and the mysterious Zixiao Palace while searching for a way out. The High Priest watched him and revealed that he could wield Lu Feng’s missing Rusty Sword, hinting at a chance to defy heaven and change fate.
The High Priest revealed the Rusty Sword’s origins to the Witch Clan, explaining that it was an incomplete Dao Evolution Sword forged from Pangu’s Dao patterns. He said only those with Pangu’s bloodline could lift it, leaving the clan without a way to wield it or find the missing patterns.
The High Priest explained that Lu Feng shared a bloodline close to Pangu’s and refused to kill him, believing his presence would shape a coming war and the Witch Clan’s chance to claim the Primordial Continent. The others left to conduct the Ancestor God Sacrifice, while the High Priest stayed behind wondering what Chen Pan was plotting.
During the Ancestor God Sacrifice, Lu Feng remained tied up as the Witch Clan held its rituals and warriors' contest, so he mocked and distracted the competitors. The High Priest appeared above the valley, confronting Lu Feng’s arrogance.
