• Ye Qingxian examined the immortal cocoon and realized its occupant was trying to seize heaven’s will and form an innate divine ability.
• Ye Qingxian scattered a Nine-Turn Reviving Grass over the cocoon, accelerating its transformation.

• Lin Fan answered in a girlish voice, let the young woman believe he was a girl, and slipped underwater after she left to calm himself.

Over a year of training, five-year-old Lin Fan grew to immense physical strength and advanced rapidly in cultivation. During a fierce spar with a pureblood Pixiu cub, Lin Fan’s healing Divine Art let him withstand lightning before he struck the Pixiu down.

• Lin Fan began the morning lesson with Qi Daolin after reflecting on the previous night’s bath and denying that he understood the Dao Master’s teasing remarks.

Lin Fan escaped the Heavenly Immortal Academy after reaching the Blood Transformation Realm’s ultimate limit and awakening the Indestructible Golden Body. Back at the mountain gate, he learned that removing his Supreme Bone might solve the flaw in his divine technique, but Qi Daolin warned him to wait until he became a god.

• Lin Fan left the academy after reaching one hundred thousand jin of strength in one arm and discovering his golden-body transformation.
• Feng Wu searched for Ye Xian for several days but could not find anyone by that name in the academy.
• Lin Fan returned to the mountain gate and told Qi Daolin he had reached the ultimate limit of the Blood Transformation Realm.

• Lin Fan endured days of exhausting mountain-carrying training, and people in the Great Wilderness chased him, mistaking the moving mountain for a treasure or a powerful beast.

• Lin Fan followed the smell of food to Qi Daolin's camp and ate meat from a Taotie in the divine fire realm.
• The meat flooded Lin Fan's body with potent essence, forcing him to refine it before he recovered and accused Qi Daolin of trying to kill him.

After sharing Taotie meat, Qi Daolin gave Lin Fan the Taotie’s Primordial True Bone and a copy of the Primordial True Explanation to study. He then ordered Lin Fan to infiltrate the Heaven Mending Sect, learn its techniques and resources, and possibly drive it apart from the Immortal Palace.

• Qi Daolin fed Lin Fan Taotie meat, then gave him the Taotie’s Primordial True Bone and urged him to learn its technique despite its limited use for now.
• Qi Daolin gave Lin Fan the Divine Guidance Chapter of the Primordial True Explanation and explained that the lost parts of the lineage’s inheritance included its Transcendence Chapter and Lower Chapter.
• Qi Daolin named defeating the Immortal Palace Successor as Lin Fan’s future goal, while warning him to be cautious and protect himself.
• Qi Daolin told Lin Fan to study at the Heaven Mending Sect because it was drawing close to the Immortal Palace, and Lin Fan suspected he wanted to steal its techniques.
• Qi Daolin listed the Heaven Mending Sect’s golden body liquid, Heaven Mending Art, and possible Ten Fiends techniques as reasons to go, then suggested Lin Fan could turn the sect against the Immortal Palace; Lin Fan agreed to go.

Qi Daolin left Lin Fan at the outskirts of the Heaven Mending Sect, where Lin Fan learned that recruitment had ended and headed for a stele that could admit exceptional newcomers. At the stele, Lin Fan heard of the sect’s golden-lit holy maiden and prepared to test his own talent.

• Qi Daolin brought Lin Fan to Heaven Mending Province to infiltrate the Heaven Mending Sect, then left without arranging an identity or explaining how to join.
• Lin Fan wandered the sect’s gateway city and asked a vendor how he could enter the Heaven Mending Sect.
• The vendor told Lin Fan recruitment had ended but explained that a red glow from the First-Generation Sect Master’s stele could earn an exception.
• Lin Fan reached the central square and learned that golden light could mark a Legacy Disciple, while the current holy maiden had produced an unusually dazzling golden glow.
• Lin Fan became curious about his own talent and wondered whether he could measure up to Yue Chan, said to be the reincarnation of True Immortal Azure Moon.

Lin Fan tested his talent at the Heaven Mending Sect’s ancient stele after watching other candidates, and his strike unleashed the highest-grade golden light and extraordinary visions across the city. The chapter left the white-haired elder and the city’s residents astonished as they wondered who had produced the unprecedented display.

• A shy girl struck the stele and produced green light streaked with red, falling just short of direct admission to the Heaven Mending Sect.

• The elder explained that the stele measured age, cultivation, potential, bloodline, constitution, and comprehension, and many candidates failed to meet its standards.
• Lin Fan declined to test himself while the plaza was crowded, then returned to the platform after the others had left.
• Lin Fan struck the stele, and its golden radiance, descending golden lotuses, and immortal light spread across the city, startling everyone.
