Lin He and Nangong Wan killed the Yue Emperor, seized his treasures, and escaped before the Black Fiend Cult could stop them. Several days later, they reached an underground cavern containing the Hexagonal Teleportation Formation, leaving them poised to use it.
Lin He, Nangong Wan, and Xin Ruoyin concealed and repaired the Ancient Teleportation Array, then used the Great Teleportation Token to reach the Chaotic Star Sea. They left the isolated island for Kui Star City, where Lin He planned to seek treasures to help him reach Core Formation.
Lin He had Ma Shangfeng refine the Blood Jade Spider materials and encountered Zhou Yuan, who wanted to buy more of his demon beast materials. He agreed to follow Zhou Yuan, leaving his plan to purchase Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid for later.
Lin He sold materials from eighteen Level Five Demon Beasts to Zhou Yuan and learned that the Miaoyin Sect possessed two Dust Settling Pills. In exchange for help subduing a demon beast, Lin He and Lan Chou agreed to assist Zhou Yuan’s husband, Wang Heng, and the chapter ended as they faced a peak Level Five ape.
Lin He, Sect Master Wang, and Zhou Yuan trapped a powerful Earthly Astral Ape in a Three Talents Formation, but its Mountain Giant Ape bloodline made it far more dangerous than expected. After the ape broke the first restraints and targeted Lin He, he braced himself with three defensive magic artifacts.
Lin He helped the Miaoyin Sect subdue the Earthly Astral Ape and received two Dust Settling Pills, compensation, and its cub. After buying supplies and meeting Nangong Wan and Xin Ruoyin, Lin He showed Nangong Wan the Golden Rain Sword, and her expression darkened after examining it.
Lin He warned Nangong Wan about the Golden Rain Sword’s link to the Xu family patriarch and gave her a formation before she and Xin Ruoyin departed for five years. After preparing for their absence, he left Kui Star City and headed toward Lesser Ring Island.
Lin He captured a swarm of Gold Devouring Beetles on Lesser Ring Island and returned to Heavenly South, where he spent over a year in seclusion. After emerging, he learned Han Li had reached Foundation Establishment and saw Han Li realize that Lin He had advanced to middle Foundation Establishment.
Lin He secretly followed Han Li to the Heavenly Star Sect Market, where Han Li stumbled upon Yellow Dragon and his allies ambushing Senior Brother Lin. Han Li escaped the puppet assault, and a powerful Pigeon-Faced Elder appeared as the battle continued.
Lin He and Senior Brother Lin joined forces with Yellow Dragon and the two protectors against the Xu patriarch, who attacked them with a powerful Seven-Colored Mountain Peak Magic Treasure. Yellow Dragon betrayed Senior Brother Lin and joined the Xu patriarch, leaving Lin He surrounded as the chapter ended.
Lin He and Ape One killed Yellow Dragon and the two Thousand Bamboo Sect guardians, but the Xu patriarch then attacked Lin He with the Seven-Colored Giant Peak. Lin He held it off with Ape One, Lan Chou, and the Jadefire Blade as the Xu patriarch revealed his Soul-Gathering Banner and unleashed its souls.
Lin He escaped the Xu patriarch’s attack and lured him into the Azure Water Green Armor Formation, where Lin He and his allies killed the Core Formation cultivator. The chapter ended with the Xu patriarch’s death in a blast of golden light.
Lin He returned to Yellow Maple Valley after defeating the Xu Ancestor, studied the Great Evolution Art, and later reunited with Nangong Wan and Xin Ruoyin in Kui Star City. Though they had found Green Spirit Island and wanted to cultivate there, Lin He said they could not go yet because of the Golden Origin Wanderer.
Lin He explained that Golden Origin Wanderer’s legacy would open within two or three years and revealed that the Six Demonic Path Sects would invade the Yue Kingdom. He proposed using intelligence and the strength of their sects to delay the invasion, then taking the legacy and fleeing to the Chaotic Star Sea with their companions.
Lan Chou successfully formed his core, prompting Lin He and Nangong Wan to prepare for their plan to slow the Six Demonic Path Sects’ invasion. Lin He and Nangong Wan acknowledged their love and returned to the Heavenly South, where months later Lin He received a message from Hong Fu.
Lin He accompanied Dong Xuan'er to the Yan Family's Treasure Competition, where he observed the Ghost Spirit Sect's strength and encountered Wang Chan. Meanwhile, the Ghost Spirit Sect's young master plotted with the Yan Family patriarch to capture the Seven Sects' disciples, while Yan Ruyan secretly met two women from the Covering Moon Sect.
Yan Ruyan learned that the Covering Moon Sect had uncovered her family’s alliance with the Ghost Spirit Sect and agreed to redeem her crime through meritorious service. The next day, Lin He rescued Dong Xuan'er from Tian Buque’s Soul Bewitching Art and returned to find a beautiful woman in white waiting in his room.
Nangong Wan told Lin He that Yan Ruyan would persuade the Yan Family Ancestor to reject the Ghost Spirit Sect, and Lin He spent the evening with her. When the Ghost Spirit Sect arrived at Yan Family Castle, the Yan Family Ancestor ambushed them, but Wang Chan used a Restriction-Breaking Pearl to escape with several cultivators.
Wang Chan escaped the Yan Family’s formation and led the Ghost Spirit Sect in an attack, but Fairy Nishang and the Seven Sects intercepted his reinforcements. Lin He cut through the attackers while protecting Dong Xuan’er, then stopped Wang Chan as he tried to flee, leaving the young master’s escape uncertain.
Lin He defeated Wang Chan in battle, destroying his defenses and leaving him gravely injured. As Lin He freed Dong Xuan'er from a black cord, Tian Buque appeared before them.
Lin He and Ape One fought Tian Buque while Nangong Wan confronted Elder Lin in the sky. After surviving Tian Buque’s Soul-Confusing Bell, Lin He turned the fight around with Ape One’s sound attack, leaving Tian Buque barely alive.
Lin He and the allied cultivators defeated the Ghost Spirit Sect forces at Yan Family Castle, but everyone hesitated to take Wang Chan’s Storage Bag for fear of retaliation. Yan Ruyan prepared to kill Wang Chan when a powerful presence suddenly arrived, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.
Wang Tiangu arrived to rescue Wang Chan and attacked the Seven Sects cultivators with yin fiend qi that overwhelmed their magic treasures. Lin He secretly released Lan Chou, whose appearance helped Nangong Wan, Fairy Nishang, and the Yan Family Ancestor retrieve their treasures, leaving Wang Tiangu angered.
Lin He and the others were saved from Wang Tiangu by Wen Min and Ancestor Linghu, who revealed that the battle had been a trap. Wang Tiangu’s physical body was destroyed and his Nascent Soul fled, ending the crisis at Yan Family Castle.
After Wang Tiangu escaped, Wen Min forced the Yan Family to sever ties with the Ghost Spirit Sect and brought its members back to the Covering Moon Sect. Two months later, Lin He reached the Golden Drum Plains, where Li Huayuan and Hongfu gathered the Yellow Maple Valley cultivators for the front-line war.
