Xiao Tian received the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and entrusted it to Zi Xiao for protection as she joined forces with Immortal Maiden Gu Wei in the Immortal Domain. He then accepted Hun Zhou’s invitation to talk, suspecting the Chaos Demon Ape elder wanted to introduce him to his granddaughter Hun Tian.
Xiao Tian joined True Immortal Hun Zhou for a feast of Monkey Wine and roasted True Immortal Golden Crow meat, and their drinking turned into an impromptu gathering with Hun Tian and Min Yu. The chapter left Xiao Tian and Hun Tian laughing together at the accidental matchmaking atmosphere.
While digging for treasures in the Immortal Pit, Shi Hao, Hou Shen Ming, Ying Xiyan, and Chen Three Treasures searched dangerous Emperorfall origin stones. At a matchmaking gathering, Xiao Tian tried to leave without marrying Hun Tian, but her challenge ended in a decisive close-combat match that left her captivated.
Xiao Tian met Immortal King Hunyuan after True Immortal Hun Zhou proposed him as a husband for Hun Tian. Hunyuan accepted their match despite Xiao Tian’s other wives and confidantes, but Xiao Tian insisted he would leave the Immortal Domain to protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Immortal King Hunyuan sent Hun Tian with Xiao Tian to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to temper herself, and Xiao Tian arranged for his companions to begin cultivation in the Immortal Domain. After returning through the Five-Colored Altar, the group encountered the Source of Lightning Tribulations, where Xiao Tian devoured its punishment and began cultivating in a Thunder Pool with Hun Tian.
Xiao Tian cultivated in Thunder Abyss, surviving a deadly Blood Pool and gathering lightning before reuniting with Hun Tian and reaching a Willow Deity Clone. The chapter left him at Thunder Mountain, facing the golden willow that sheltered Shi Hao and the Golden Burial Scholars.
Xiao Tian helped the Willow Deity Clone merge with the Golden Willow Tree, restoring her to Immortal King cultivation, while the original Willow Deity sensed the revival from the Boundary Sea. Willow Deity reflected on the Emperor Fall Era and the hidden forces behind the ancient calamities, leaving the truth behind the Primordial Ancient Realm’s ruin unresolved.
Xiao Tian and the others crossed the Footprint Emperor’s yellow-sand path, where they witnessed the Boundary Sea Dam and the corpses of fallen immortals and Immortal Kings. They escaped through an ancient altar and arrived outside the Primordial Imperial City, where Willow Deity reflected on the old friends she had lost.
Xiao Tian supported Willow Deity and the female Immortal King’s plan to destroy the Heavenly Abyss’s Sea of Laws, then left to cultivate with Hun Tian. After breaking through, he found himself in the Emperor-fall Era among candidates seeking entry to the Tai Su Dao, where an Immortal King began the disciple selection.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying settled into the Tai Su Daoist Temple’s Cloud Summit in Above the Heavens and spent nine months adapting to its Great Dao. When they finally left their cave abode, an agitated Half-Step Immortal accused Xiao Tian of murdering its former owner and went to fetch the Enforcement Team.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying settled a dispute over Yun Yu’s cave abode after the Hun Tian Mirror revealed that Yun Yu had died dissolving into the Dao. Hun Ying defeated Ruo Han, and Xiao Tian robbed him and warned nearby cultivators against challenging them casually.
Xiao Tian learned the value of the Tai Su Qi Crystal he had taken from Ruo Han, then explored Cloud Summit’s Earthly Treasure Street with Hun Ying. Ruo Han’s encounter with Zhu Ying suggested he might turn his defeat into a breakthrough, while Xiao Tian considered the dangers of making enemies in Above the Heavens.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying left the Tai Su Daoist Temple’s Earthly Treasure Street and were challenged by groups of Supreme Perfection disciples seeking their possessions. Xiao Tian used Meng Tianzheng’s Dao fruit to defeat a Geng Metal Zheng and a Mirage Dragon, taking their bodies and valuables as spoils.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying won a string of battles against powerful Supreme challengers on Cloud Summit, collecting their spoils before leaving the arena. Xiao Tian then learned that his system would not grant a check-in for reaching Above the Heavens through unauthorized passage, so he resolved to cultivate there and pursue the True Immortal realm.
Xiao Tian spent nearly five years creating and cultivating his own method, reaching the Extreme Dao Supreme and Great Emperor domains as his physical body and primordial spirit advanced to power comparable to a Quasi-Immortal King. His breakthrough caused a disturbance that even Quasi-Immortal Emperors could not explain, and the Tai Su Emperor unexpectedly expanded the upcoming competition's Supreme-domain places.
Xi Yue announced generous prizes for the Tai Su Daoist Temple’s outer disciple tournament, while Xiao Tian and Hun Ying emerged from years of seclusion and prepared to seek more Tai Su Paste. After eating and recovering, they set out to find prey to rob.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying traded for Tai Su Paste and discussed the rare opportunity to compete for entry into the Tai Su Heaven Secret Realm. After meeting Qian Duoduo and unexpectedly encountering Zhu Ganglie, Xiao Tian warned him about a secret affair and left without borrowing Immortal Source.
Xiao Tian and Hun Ying prepared for the Tai Su Daoist Temple Outer Disciple Competition, where Xiao Tian quickly advanced by defeating his opponents. The competition continued as he was teleported to another match after making a female Supreme concede.
Xiao Tian fought the Three-Legged Silver Toad and Xiangliu alone in the Supreme Competition and overwhelmed both with his thunder techniques. The Three-Legged Silver Toad conceded, while Xiangliu was left with only one head.
Xiao Tian faced the Blood Demon and Diamond Saint Spirit in his second battle and overwhelmed both with his emperor character and thunder techniques. The chapter ended with the two opponents trapped beneath his attacks, unable to break free.
Xiao Tian advanced through the Tai Su Daoist Temple’s increasingly difficult disciple trials, revealing two Emperor Characters as he defeated successive groups of contestants. He entered the top-fifty round facing four formidable opponents, two of whom had also cultivated two Emperor Characters.
Xiao Tian revealed the power of three Emperor Character Dao patterns and defeated his opponents as the tournament narrowed to its strongest contestants. After Hun Ying was eliminated by Wushan, the top five were Xiao Tian, Wushan, the Ink Qilin, the Enchanting Vermilion Bird, and the Pu Demon Tree.
Xiao Tian fought Wushan and the Pu Demon Tree in a five-way melee held in the Chaos Sea, revealing that he could absorb chaos qi and countered their coordinated attacks. The fight remained a spectacle for the watching disciples as both sides revealed additional emperor character dao marks, leaving the clash unresolved.
Xiao Tian defeated Wushan and the Pu Demon Tree in the Outer Disciple Competition with five Emperor Character Dao Marks and a savage fighting style. After the competition, Deputy Temple Master Xi Yue took him as her disciple, while Ruo Han and Zhu Ying reconsidered how to deal with him.
After becoming Xi Yue’s disciple, Xiao Tian gained access to the Profound Bright Heavenly Grotto and the Tai Su Daoist Temple’s resources. He explored his new abode and reflected on the Six Heavenly Clans’ strength, while competitions and a Heaven and Earth Rift expedition were announced.
