Lin Fan fought off the Profound Heaven Sect with the Nine-Story Glazed Tower, whose awakened spirit clashed with and subdued the Mountain and River Diagram under the Small World's laws. He slaughtered the sect's forces, but Xuanji Zi stayed behind to confront him as the survivors escaped.
Lin Fan defeated Xuanji Zi, seized the Four Symbols Divine Bow, and killed him after learning he could not provide the rest of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art. After Yue Chan and the others emerged from the Tribulation-Defying Heavenly Palace, Lin Fan’s teasing of Yue Chan left her chasing him in a rage.
Lin Fan, Yue Chan, and the Heaven Mending Sect disciples harvested treasure medicines from the Ancient Medicine Field before the senior disciples chose to stay in Purple-Gold Valley. Lin Fan and Yue Chan then set out to find the elusive Fortune Pool, whose entrance appeared at random.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan searched a vast golden desert for the Fortune Pool, but their journey was interrupted when Lin Fan found a rare Vajra Fruit guarded by Earth Dragons and a Lotus Tribe youth. Lin Fan prepared to enter the battle and claim the treasure.
Lin Fan stole the Vajra Fruit from Qing Ge after Qing Ge weakened the Earthworm King, then fled with the treasure. Qing Ge escaped the enraged beast, while Lin Fan stopped far away and celebrated the fruit’s value to his physique.
Yue Chan and Lin Fan found the Fortune Pool, where Lin Fan was ambushed by a woman in green who emerged from a green lotus. The two began a fierce battle, and the woman was shocked by Lin Fan’s physical strength.
Lin Fan and Qing Xian clashed over access to the Fortune Pool after she refused to share it with him, while Yue Chan watched. Qing Xian’s ability to merge with heaven and earth repeatedly let her evade Lin Fan, so he sent out a Spirit Body to use One Blade of Grass and strike across the entire space.
Lin Fan defeated Qing Xian after breaking through her Chaos Seed Nurturing Green Lotus with his immunity to spell techniques, but she escaped before he could capture her. He returned to the Creation Divine Pool to cultivate, and Yue Chan eventually entered it while he remained immersed.
Lin Fan used the Creation Divine Pool to cultivate beyond the limits of the Spirit Transformation Realm, tempering his body with Dao marks until he broke through the extreme realm. His Supreme Bone showed the first signs of growth, and he resolved to keep cultivating until it developed an unrivaled divine ability.
Lin Fan broke through the extreme realm and developed a way to turn a Great Dao phenomenon into genuine Dao marks. He demonstrated his Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Diagram's power to Yue Chan, who was astonished and asked how he had done it.
Lin Fan forged several tangible Dao manifestations, then stopped cultivating to investigate the Creation Divine Pool before the Secret Realm opened. He and Yue Chan uncovered the pool’s source: an ancient Glazed Bottle filled with divine liquid.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan discovered the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle and left the Fortune Pool to hunt for more treasures. They learned the Supreme True Blood had already been claimed, and Lin Fan decided they should take it from whoever held it.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan lured greedy cultivators to a fake Supreme inheritance and unleashed a God-Slaying Formation, killing many and forcing two First Generations to flee. Lin Fan then collected the abandoned treasures and true blood, while the survivors condemned him as a blackhearted maggot.
Lin Fan deceived the others and secured the Tribulation-Defying Supreme’s treasure blood while the Western Sect believed Golden Cicada was winning the Secret Realm. As Lin Fan and Yue Chan prepared to keep hunting, the real Golden Cicada was driven into retreat by enemies who blamed him for the impostor’s crimes.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan watched their schemes drive Golden Cicada into a fight with the Thunder Tribe’s Lei Tiandu and the Fire Gold Tribe’s Teng Yi. As First Generations clashed and the Indigenous People joined the fighting, Qing Xian attacked Lin Fan, who continued to provoke her.
Lin Fan matched Qing Xian by copying her Chaos Seed Nurturing Green Lotus, then traded flirtatious taunts with the Demoness as she provoked Yue Chan. Yue Chan and the Demoness began fighting, while Qing Ge joined Qing Xian against Lin Fan and the surrounding melee spread into chaos.
Lin Fan neutralized Qing Ge’s attack, then sent his spirit body to fight the newly strengthened Golden Cicada. Their battle was interrupted when the Tribulation-Defying Supreme’s Failed Nirvana Pool opened and its inheritance emerged.
The Immortal Pool appeared, drawing the cultivators together to contend for the inheritance. As Golden Cicada faced accusations over the earlier trap, he rushed toward the Blood Pool and struck it, provoking everyone.
Golden Cicada destabilized the Nirvana Pool, triggering a scramble for its treasures and opening the gateway to the Tribulation-Defying Supreme’s inheritance. Lin Fan and Yue Chan entered the ancient dragon-vein land, survived a day-long battle, and regrouped as Lin Fan healed her wounds.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan advanced toward the inheritance grounds while avoiding another bloody battle and trying to make allies. Lin Fan fled when Feng Wu approached, afraid she would recognize his childhood disguise and expose his connection to the Supreme Dao Arena, as the path ahead grew more difficult under mounting pressure.
At the Inheritance Grounds, Lin Fan turned the cultivators against Golden Cicada and fought him with the Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens phenomenon. Golden Cicada was badly wounded and fled, but the surviving Profound Heaven Sect disciple blocked his retreat.
Lin Fan defeated Golden Cicada again, forcing him out of the Secret Realm, then climbed the Sacred Mountain as fierce battles broke out among the competitors. Lin Fan survived a Golden Scorpion’s ambush with the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle, but regretted destroying what he considered a valuable medicinal ingredient.
Lin Fan and Yue Chan studied the Tribulation-Defying Supreme’s insights, and Lin Fan advanced his Spirit Transformation Realm before qualifying for the Divine Treasury. There, the prodigies discovered a damaged sword forged from bright immortal gold and fought over it.
Lin Fan and the other prodigies fought over the Tribulation-Defying Supreme’s treasures, but the Bright Immortal Gold Sword refused to leave its master’s grave. When the Young Supreme of the Taotie tried to devour Lin Fan for the Yellow-Black Banner, Lin Fan overpowered and killed him.
After the Taotie Young Supreme was killed, Lin Fan and Yue Chan battled for treasures in the Divine Treasury and secured the True Phoenix Bone. While other prodigies rushed to claim a Taboo Divine Ability, Lin Fan learned how to win divine weapons through affinity and obtained the Yellow-Black Banner, which he renamed the Apricot-Yellow Banner.
