At their cave mansion, Lin Yun discovered Han Li had left for the Outer Sea to avoid the dangers surrounding the Void Sky Hall affair and the war.

  • Ling Yuling left the Blue Stone Hall after receiving Lin Yun's voice transmission, while Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing sensed nothing unusual.
  • Lin Yun and Nangong Wan reached Tianxing City's guarded gate, where a Star Palace cultivator required a resident to vouch for them.

  • Lin Yun discovered Han Li's message saying he had left Tianxing City for the Outer Sea to cultivate in seclusion and would return with the soul-nurturing wood after the current dangers passed.

Ch. 154News

Ling Yuling visited Lin Yun and Nangong Wan with news that the Inverse Star Alliance had issued arrest warrants for Han and Venerable Xuan Gu over the theft of the Void Sky Cauldron, and had invited Wang Lin to become a third leader. After Lin Yun showed Ling Yuling the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light cultivation art, she discovered it was the technique her parents practiced and hurried away with the jade slip.

  • Ling Yuling told Lin Yun and Nangong Wan that the Inverse Star Alliance suspected Han and Venerable Xuan Gu of stealing the Void Sky Cauldron using a concealed second Blood Jade Spider.

  • Lin Yun let Ling Yuling keep the jade slip, and she hurriedly left to attend to something.

Ch. 155Primordial Magnetic Divine Light

Lin Yun later welcomed Xin Ruoyin after she emerged from seclusion, while the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng escaped into the Herb Garden.

  • Ling Yuling gave Ling Xiaofeng a jade slip from the Void Sky Hall, and he and Wen Qing realized that someone had erased the cultivation requirements for the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.
  • Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing suspected that Six Paths or Wan Sangu had engineered the flawed cultivation method and helped the Inverse Star Alliance grow powerful.
  • Lin Yun explained to Nangong Wan that the Twin Saints’ heavenly spiritual roots made full mastery of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light impossible, leaving the Star Palace in a precarious position.
  • The Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng evaded the Herb Garden’s restrictions and settled beside the Spirit Eye Spring, prompting Lin Yun to consider strengthening the restrictions.
  • Xin Ruoyin emerged from seclusion after breaking through to the sixth Origin Pill turn, and Lin Yun and Nangong Wan welcomed her.

Ch. 156Teleportation Array

Lin Yun and Xin Ruoyin solved the final problem of stabilizing an ultra-long-distance teleportation passage and completed instructions for an Ancient Teleportation Formation. They planned to return to the Heavenly South to build matching formations there and in the Chaotic Star Sea.

  • Lin Yun summoned Silver Moon, whose memories of watching a teleportation array being set up helped him and Xin Ruoyin find ways to stabilize a long-distance spatial passage.
  • A spirit bird delivered Wan Tianming's letter, in which he sought Man Huzi's Spell Pellets and offered Lin Yun an elder's position in the Myriad Law Sect and Wan Sangu's guidance.
  • Lin Yun declined Wan Tianming's invitation for the time being, citing Tianxing City's lockdown.
  • Several months later, Xin Ruoyin completed the instructions for setting up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array but noted that some materials were rare.
  • Lin Yun proposed dismantling the Ancient Teleportation Formation in the Heavenly South and building paired formations, with Xin Ruoyin handling the Chaotic Star Sea and him handling the Heavenly South.

Ch. 157Formation Damage

Lin Yun discovered that the Ancient Teleportation Formation in the Heavenly South could not transport him because the array there had been damaged, delaying his return with Nangong Wan and Xin Ruoyin. As Tianxing City prepared to lift its lockdown, Ling Yuling explained that the Inverse Star Alliance had never intended to attack the city directly.

  • Lin Yun sent his Yang Spirit to repair the Ancient Teleportation Formation near Kuixing Island, but its test activation failed because the formation at the Heavenly South end was damaged.
  • Lin Yun told Nangong Wan and Xin Ruoyin that they would need to gather materials for a one-way Teleportation Array before they could return.
  • Ling Yuling returned Lin Yun's jade slip containing the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Cultivation Method and asked him to keep it secret.
  • Ling Yuling told Lin Yun and the others that the Inverse Star Alliance's threat to attack Tianxing City had been a ploy to draw out the Star Palace's forces and seize its islands.

Ch. 158Geng Essence

  • Ling Yuling explained that the Star Palace needed Lin Yun's Spell Pellets for the coming war and that some elders wanted to seize his technique.
  • Lin Yun declined to join the Star Palace but offered to teach it the level five Spell Pellet technique, keeping the higher-level methods secret.
  • Ling Yuling agreed to provide Geng Essence and the other requested materials, substituting Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for unavailable high-grade ones.
  • Nangong Wan asked whether Lin Yun feared the Star Palace discovering how many Demon Cores he had kept, and Lin Yun said his strength left him unafraid.
  • Ling Xiaofeng approved the bargain and gave Ling Yuling a fragment of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain to deliver to Lin Yun as thanks.
  • Ling Yuling put the fragment away and went to the Star Palace treasury to collect Lin Yun's requested materials.

Ch. 159Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light Needle

Lin Yun received a Geng Essence and a fragment of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain from Ling Yuling in exchange for his grade-five Spell Pellet method. The fragment gave him a path to perfect the Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light, but he realized he still needed the mountain itself to cultivate the Divine Light Needle.

  • Lin Yun inspected the Geng Essence Ling Yuling had brought and gave her the grade-five Spell Pellet refinement method, which she discovered used only thirty percent of a Demon Core’s spiritual power.
  • Ling Yuling delivered a restricted white jade chest as an additional gift from the Star Palace’s Twin Sages, and warned Lin Yun that it held a dangerous fragment of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain.
  • Lin Yun resealed the chest, moved to the Thirty-Eighth Cave Mansion to avoid disturbing Xiao Mei’s cultivation, and opened it there.
  • Lin Yun examined the fragment and realized its Wu Earth essence could complete the five innate essences needed to perfect his Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light.
  • Lin Yun concluded that cultivating the Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light Needle would require the main body of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, not just the fragment.

Ch. 160Eight Years

Lin Yun spent six years cultivating the Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light as the Star Palace and the Inverse Star Alliance fought over islands and Level Five Demon Cores. In the Outer Sea, Han Li learned that the war and the Abyss Sea becoming a forbidden zone had drawn many hunters there, and he approached three cultivators to ask about the change.

  • Lin Yun sealed away the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain Fragment and asked Nangong Wan to help him cultivate while Xin Ruoyin went into seclusion to refine an Ice Soul Divine Needle.
  • Over the next eight years, Lin Yun cultivated the Great Five-Element Extinction Divine Light while the Star Palace and the Inverse Star Alliance fought, causing heavy demand for Level Five Demon Cores.
  • The Inverse Star Alliance stole an incomplete Spell Pellet refinement method, and its weaker pellets forced it to rely on larger quantities as both sides hunted Demon Beasts.
  • Han Li found that other cultivators had repeatedly disrupted his Demon Beast hunts in the Outer Sea and disguised himself before approaching three Core Formation cultivators.

After six years in seclusion, Han Li learned that a mysterious Bug Demon was being blamed for killings matching his supposed methods, and that the Inverse Star Alliance and Star Palace suspected him of stealing the Void Sky Cauldron. He remained unaware of the accusations as he left Strange Abyss Island, while Lin Yun advanced his cultivation and sent Xin Ruoyin and Xiao Mei to seek materials for an Ancient Teleportation Formation.

  • Han Li learned that the Sea Abyss had become a forbidden zone after its Demon Beasts went berserk and that the war had driven up the price of Level Five Demon Cores.
  • Han Li heard of the Bug Demon, whose azure flying swords and gold-and-silver insects resembled his abilities, and worried that Nascent Soul cultivators from the Void Sky Hall had tracked him down.
  • Han Li left the three cultivators after suggesting a nearby coral island where they might find Demon Beasts.
