• Lin Fan located the Immortal Island and entered it with Qingyi, where they saw the White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal among the abundant medicines.

• After waiting a quarter of an hour, Lin Fan threatened to blast the tortoise’s home to pieces.
• The White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal responded through rising white mist, and Lin Fan spotted ruins from the previous era and suspected the island held further secrets.

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.

• The White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal emerged from a patch of all-things soil and offered Lin Fan two drops of Longevity Liquid as an apology.

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.

• White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal led Lin Fan and Qingyi through the Immortal Medicine Garden, where they saw dangerous ancient formations and traces of immense power.

• Lin Fan entered the palace, passed its trial in moments, and emerged because its cultivation opportunity had no effect on him.
• Lin Fan asked about other ruins suited to a cult master, and White Tortoise Carrying an Immortal offered to lead him to an ancient hall where even a Supreme could perish.

• The White Tortoise revealed that clearing the War God Hall meant Lin Fan had the potential to become a Great Emperor, and Qingyi angrily chased it for sending him into the deadly trial.
• Lin Fan passed through the Light Gate and discovered he had advanced to mid-stage self-severing after surviving the War God Road.
• Lin Fan sat on the meditation cushion in the secluded chamber and learned that one day of cultivation there equaled a year outside while helping him enter enlightenment.
• Lin Fan decided to build his own cultivation method around his qi sea and the five organs, drawing on the five elements and their cycles of generation and restraint.
• Lin Fan infused the five organs with their corresponding elemental qi, opened them as sources of primordial qi, and connected their flow back to his qi sea.
• Lin Fan completed and named the second great realm of his qi-refining path 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 realized that opening the body's particles released qi and used that insight to establish his essence-refining method.
• A being from Lin Fan's first Dao Flower entered the space between his five internal organs, helping loosen their gates as he circulated the Profound Art.

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.

• The White Tortoise fled as three thousand six hundred bolts began the Thousand Annihilations Lightning Tribulation, while Qingyi rebuked him for predicting Lin Fan's death.

• The blade cut Lin Fan in two, but the being born upon his first Dao Flower protected his Primordial Spirit and helped him withstand the fatal strike.
• Lin Fan healed as the blade and platform vanished, then caught several drops of Tribulation Lightning Liquid from an ancient pool.

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.

• Lin Fan recovered by drinking from the Tribulation Lightning Pool, but the pool escaped after the Immortal-Slaying Executioner's Blade struck the Sage Emperor Cauldron; the cauldron absorbed a wisp of the blade’s radiance.
• Lin Fan completed his tribulation and reached the peak of the self-severing realm, then chose to delay entering escape one and return to the War God Hall.

• Lin Fan comprehended the art’s combat methods and began studying its inheritance intently.

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 extracted the Silver Blood Demon Race Ancestor’s primordial spirit, refined his body into a lounge chair, and plundered the clan’s treasures.
