Lin Fan cultivated in the Dragon Transformation Pool, using immortal qi to refine his body and replace his blood with powerful golden blood. Outside, Qingyi was drawn onto a silent, ominous Ancient Road and feared she would never return.
Lin Fan entered the Ominous Force’s Ancient Road to rescue Qingyi, who was trapped in a sealed chamber and nearly lost her primordial spirit to the darkness. She survived by using immortal qi and the Tribulation Lightning Pool, but discovered many bodies whose primordial spirits had already departed.
Qingyi was attacked by the ancient lamp’s resurrected husks and powerful figures, but Lin Fan arrived in time to save her. As Weirdness and the Ominous Force closed in on them, Lin Fan put Qingyi inside his Spatial Magical Artifact and fought back with his Fist Seal and True Phoenix Flame.
Lin Fan escaped the black mist and the Reception Ancient Ship, then reunited with Qingyi in the Dark Realm. He brought her to Chaos Mosquito Lake to temper her body and stabilize her cultivation, leaving them diving into its dangerous waters.
Lin Fan fought through the Chaos Ant Lake’s monstrous mosquitoes and reached its depths, where he found a True Dragon’s bones and an Immortal Corpse. He took the dragon bone while Qingyi reacted in shock to the discoveries.
Lin Fan and Qingyi cultivated beside the corpse of a Female Immortal and a True Dragon bone, using the site’s Immortal Dao aura and baleful field to strengthen themselves. Lin Fan entered the Self-Severing Realm, but remained uncertain what he needed to sever to consolidate his cultivation.
Lin Fan advanced into the Self-Severing Realm by breaking the Order Divine Chains, resisting Heaven’s Will, and declaring that he was his own heavenly heart. Afterward, he used his Three-Legged Golden Cauldron to reach a female True Immortal’s corpse, alarming Qingyi when he began removing her clothes.
Lin Fan stripped the Female Immortal to remove her Immortal Gold Battle Armor, then saved Shi Hao from pursuing Heavenly Gods by teleporting him to the Dragon Nest. Shi Hao landed beside the Dragon Transformation Pool and wondered whether someone was secretly helping him.
Lin Fan and Qingyi found the Immortal Island and tried to negotiate with the White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal for access to the Human Immortal Palace. After Lin Fan threatened to destroy the tortoise’s home, the tortoise appeared through the mist, revealing ancient ruins that hinted at deeper secrets on the island.
Lin Fan and Qingyi encountered the White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal, which offered Longevity Liquid and recalled helping the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor cultivate immortal qi. After Lin Fan revealed he was the Emperor’s son, the tortoise agreed to guide him to the Ancient Hall, while Lin Fan struggled to contain his anger.
Lin Fan used warnings about powerful enemies to persuade White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal to guide him through the Immortal Medicine Garden in exchange for protection. After easily passing the Human Immortal Palace’s trial and finding its opportunity useless to him, Lin Fan asked to be taken to a more dangerous ruin.
Lin Fan entered the War God Hall, a dangerous trial ground that offered accelerated cultivation and possibly ancient treasures to those who survived. Inside, he fought imitations of legendary supreme creatures and faced another battle as a Qilin appeared.
Lin Fan survived the War God Hall’s trials, defeating ancient race imprints and a series of heavenly calamities before emerging from the simulated world badly wounded. Outside, his Soul Lamp blazed brightly, and the White Tortoise realized he had passed the trials and surpassed the ancients.
After clearing the War God Hall, Lin Fan entered its time-accelerating cultivation chamber and developed a second realm of his self-created qi-refining path. He established a cycle linking the five organs to his qi sea and named it five qi returning to the origin.
Lin Fan created the Five Qi Returning to the Origin method, completed essence refining into qi, and advanced to the late self-severing realm. His breakthrough triggered a heavenly tribulation that struck him inside the secluded chamber, forcing him to flee outside.
Lin Fan faced a deadly Heavenly Tribulation triggered by his creation of a method, battling ancient lightning-born beasts and surviving the Immortal-Slaying Executioner's Blade with help from the being in his five internal organs. As the tribulation neared its end, he caught several drops of Tribulation Lightning Liquid.
After completing his tribulation, Lin Fan returned to the War God Hall and discovered the Chaos-World Demon Ape lineage’s Eight-Nine Heavenly Art hidden in the thirty-meter Secret Chamber. He began studying the ancient combat art, leaving his next advancement for later.
After mastering the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art, Lin Fan left seclusion and found Qingyi threatened by the Silver Blood Demon Race. He took her to the clan’s ancient land and began testing his new art against its powerful inhabitants.
Lin Fan looted the Silver Blood Demon Race, used its ancestor as a research subject, and settled down to fish with the clan’s treasures. Qingyi visited with food, and after Lin Fan caught and released the Lunar Jade Rabbit, he turned his attention to Qingyi.
After Lin Fan and Qingyi were together, a fissure appeared in Immortal Ancient, signaling its early collapse and the approach of the Immortal Dao Arena. Outside the realm, a Grand Immortal Array awakened and brought mysterious visitors to the Three Thousand Provinces, who were disappointed by the young experts there.
Twelve Heavenly Gods entered Immortal Ancient as the realm’s barrier began to fail, while Shi Hao won the arena and was pulled toward a mysterious passage. Lin Fan secretly kicked Shi Hao into the passage, Qingyi was blamed for the attack and entered after him, and the other talents rushed in to pursue the fortune.
Lin Fan watched as Qingyi obtained an immortal Dao inheritance in the Ancient Land Palace, while Shi Hao carried off a sealed coffin. Outside, Yue Chan confronted Qingyi and realized her secondary body had been intimate with Lin Fan.
Yue Chan confronted Qingyi over her secondary body's relationship with Lin Fan, but shared memories helped her understand Qingyi's feelings and her own role in the conflict. She then turned her fury on Lin Fan, who walked into the sword at her chest and left her visibly shaken.
Lin Fan reconciled with Yue Chan and promised to find a way to separate her from Qingyi without harming either of them. The three entered a cultivation cave in the Cold Realm and later emerged even closer, with Yue Chan and Qingyi united in their exasperation at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan opened the jade coffins and discovered nearly twenty Immortal Dao Scriptures, then began studying them while Yue Chan and Qingyi left to seek sagewood. Outside Immortal Ancient, arrogant young visitors challenged the Three Thousand Provinces, and their reaction to the Young Demon King’s name revealed their reverence for the Little Sage Emperor.
