Lin Fan kicked Yue Chan off the Five-Colored Luan Bird to begin her wilderness training, where she fought and killed beasts despite suffering serious injuries. After she completed her daily task, the two shared a meal, and Yue Chan dropped her holy maiden composure to fight Lin Fan for the last piece of meat.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan trained in the Great Wilderness until Yue Chan opened nine heavenly passages, while Lin Fan discovered that his unique cave heaven could drain living beings' vital essence. After a meal of flood dragon meat, Lin Fan healed Yue Chan, leaving her embarrassed after she clung to him and slapped him when she woke.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan found the devastated territory where the Mountain Treasure battle had taken place, but the treasure was already gone. They reached a secluded village, where the Sacrificial Spirit confirmed they meant no harm and the villagers welcomed them in.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan were warmly welcomed in Stone Village, where they met the village child Little One and shared a feast with the villagers. After Shi Yunfeng mistook the betrothed pair for husband and wife, Lin Fan arranged to sleep elsewhere and hinted that he was plotting to surprise Yue Chan.
Lin Fan cultivated in Stone Village, agreed to teach the children, and asked Shi Yunfeng about the Mountain Treasure before a wounded Vermilion Bird arrived. Little Red Bird began recovering after Lin Fan used a healing technique, while Little One recognized it as Little Red.
Lin Fan healed Little Red Bird and tricked her into revealing that Zhu Yan had taken the Mountain Treasure west. He then used a halberd to open a passage and disappeared, leaving Little Red Bird furious at his deception.
Lin Fan searched the dried lakes for Zhu Yan’s Mountain Treasure but encountered the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow, which tried to devour him. He killed it with a Heavenly God’s Forbidden Artifact and returned to Stone Village, where the Little Red Bird learned what had happened and grew wary of him.
Lin Fan healed Little Red Bird after killing the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow and tried to recruit her by describing the vast worlds beyond the Lower Realm. Little Red Bird remained unconvinced, but Lin Fan’s account left her and Stone Village astonished.
Lin Fan tried to recruit Little Red Bird by promising her a future in the Upper Realm, but she left to consider his offer. He healed Shi Yunfeng and won Stone Village’s friendship while continuing to seek the Mountain Treasure and the Willow Deity.
Lin Fan continued searching the Great Wilderness for the Mountain Treasure while teaching Stone Village’s children and sharing his resources with the village. After discovering that Stone Village planned a baptism in an extraordinary Black Cauldron, he offered Treasure Medicine in exchange for the pill formula and prepared to join the baptism with Yue Chan.
Lin Fan traded two Eight Treasure Chickens for Stone Village’s pill formulas and borrowed the Black Cauldron. He began Yue Chan’s ritual tempering, leaving her submerged in the cauldron as the process got underway.
Lin Fan used the Black Cauldron and a mysterious drop of blood to help Yue Chan break through to ten Heavenly Passages. The breakthrough succeeded, but Yue Chan realized Lin Fan had seen her naked and fled back into the cauldron in shame and anger.
Lin Fan used a dangerous method to refine his flesh and Primordial Spirit together inside the Black Cauldron as he pursued a breakthrough. Yue Chan watched anxiously as his body repeatedly cracked and healed, while his aura grew stronger and golden.
Lin Fan completed a dangerous breakthrough in the Great Cauldron, reaching mid-stage Spirit Transformation and beginning to develop an offensive ability by reversing the life power of his Supreme Bone. He emerged after more than a month of cultivation, while Yue Chan had also advanced slightly.
Lin Fan and Little One found the injured Zhu Yan in a dried-up lake and helped it recover enough to take it along. Lin Fan then searched the lakebed and finally recovered the Mountain Treasure.
Lin Fan opened the Mountain Treasure and discovered the Supreme Lineage’s Ancient Heavenly Art and other Precious Arts, then uncovered the Grass Character Sword Art on a Silver Metal Page. After surviving its released sword energy, he was left holding the peerless sword art.
Lin Fan returned to Stone Village with Little One and Furball after obtaining the Mountain Treasure’s Grass Character Sword Art, then clashed with Yue Chan over her teasing. That night, he sought the Willow Deity’s guidance and was surprised when it spoke to him first.
Lin Fan asked the Willow Deity whether he should remove his Supreme Bone, and learned that it could keep growing alongside his Dao. The Willow Deity then began teaching him a powerful Precious Art, leaving the villagers and Yue Chan stunned.
Lin Fan received the Willow Deity's cultivation art and shamelessly declared it his mother, winning its reluctant acceptance with an invented tale of childhood hardship. The chapter ended with Yue Chan learning that the Demoness of the Heaven Severing Sect had blockaded Heaven Mending City in the Spirit World.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan left Stone Village for the Fire Kingdom, but a spatial passage carried them past a colossal chained creature buried beneath the Great Wilderness. Lin Fan recognized it as the Supreme Divine Treasure and chose to keep traveling rather than pursue it.
The Heaven Severing Sect’s Demoness brought allies to Heaven Mending City and taunted Yue Chan into a fight. Jin Lingxiao confronted her, but a young Buddhist monk overwhelmed him with World in the Palm until Yue Chan arrived and cut through the divine ability.
Yue Chan confronted the Demoness and the Western Sect’s Golden Cicada after Jin Lingxiao was defeated, trading barbs with her rival while assessing their strength. Golden Cicada prepared to capture Yue Chan, and Heaven Mending Sect elders waited for help while wondering about their own mysterious First Generation.
Lin Fan arrived in Heaven Mending City and stopped Golden Cicada from attacking Yue Chan, then met him in a fierce physical contest that ended in a draw. Yue Chan urged Lin Fan not to risk fighting further, but he began to tell her that she still did not understand him.
Lin Fan fought Golden Cicada in a brutal physical battle, matching his indestructible vajra body with overwhelming strength and astonishing recovery. As the fight continued, Golden Cicada realized Lin Fan’s ability to heal gave him the advantage in close combat.
Lin Fan overwhelmed Golden Cicada in close combat, then broke free of his World in the Palm with the Five-Colored Divine Sword and clashed with his divine fire. The battle continued with Lin Fan pressing the attack and Golden Cicada recognizing his extraordinary potential.
