• Xiao Hua became cautious about the Meteor belt and decided to favor three-dimensional or simple linear fragments over dangerous complex ones.

Xiao Hua guided the group through many safe spatial fragments before entering a region of the Myriad Monster Realm. He left the flying boat to explore the vine-filled fragment and summoned Xiao Guo, whose failed attempt to grow immortal herbs he reassured, before asking about Zhi Ma.

• Xiao Hua piloted the flying boat through more than a dozen spatial fragments, prompting Fairy Xingyue to complain that he was taking too long to cross the meteor belt.
• Fairy Xingyue agreed to let Xiao Hua continue piloting while Dongfang Yushan and the others guided the boat toward the fragment’s exit.
• Xiao Hua explained that he wanted to investigate the Myriad Monster Realm for possible spatial routes back to the Xiaoyu Continent, then vanished into the green vines using the Wood Escape Technique.
• Xiao Hua explored the fragment and realized that the Myriad Monster Realm included sentient plants, water, mountains, and stones as well as flesh-and-blood demons.
• Xiao Hua summoned Xiao Guo with the Kunlun Mirror, comforted him over his failure to grow the spirit herbs, and asked where Zhi Ma was.

Xiao Hua sent Xiao Guo and his companions to recruit plant spirit bodies from a depleted realm for Shenhua Continent. Xiao Guo returned with the ten herb clans, whose leaders agreed to come after inspecting the new home, and the remaining clans began moving toward Xiao Hua.

• Xiao Hua gathered Xiaohei, Xiao Huang, Xiao Yin, and Zhi Ma, then tasked Xiao Guo with finding plant spirit bodies and bringing them to Shenhua Continent.
• Xiao Huang, Xiaohei, and Xiao Yin also left to search for spirit bodies while Xiao Hua waited quietly.

• After returning to the realm, the six chiefs signaled the other spirit bodies, and groups of them began flowing toward Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua brought spirit bodies and their original herbs into Shenhua Continent, then intervened when Xiao Huang was chased by a mountain-like spirit body. He forced Xiao Huang to consider his behavior and apologize, but the spirit body’s wife arrived and begged Xiao Hua to spare her husband.

• Xiao Hua collected more spirit bodies and spiritual herbs, then sent the spirit bodies into Shenhua Continent to absorb its abundant spiritual light.
• Xiao Huang and Xiaohei arrived with a mountain-like spirit body pursuing them, and Xiao Hua stopped it with his divine sense.

• The spirit body’s wife arrived and begged Xiao Hua to spare her husband, while Xiao Hua asked Xiao Guo to explain the situation to her.

Xiao Hua opened the Kunlun Mirror to spirit bodies fleeing their dying spatial fragment and gathered them and their original forms. Afterward, he went to find the mountainlike spirit body, while Xiao Yin remained missing and Xiao Hua still worried about Xu Zhi.

• Xiao Hua let a mountainlike spirit body and its wife enter Shenhua Continent after learning they refused to be separated.
• Fairy Xingyue challenged Xiao Hua's motives for gathering spirit bodies, and Xiao Hua explained that they would help expand the Kunlun Mirror's spiritual qi.

• Xiao Hua noticed Xiao Yin was still missing and set out to check Xu Zhi, but first asked Xiaohei where the mountainlike spirit body was and went to find it.

Xiao Hua tried to bring the spirit mountain’s entity and his wife into the Kunlun Mirror, but Little Silver’s search for treasure triggered the collapse of the space fragment. Fairy Xingyue identified Little Silver’s find as a nearly ruined Spirit Gall, and Xiao Hua was left asking how to save the spirit entities before the fragment failed.

• Xiao Hua learned that the spirit mountain’s entity would enter the Kunlun Mirror only if he could remain with his vine-born wife, and Xiaohei persuaded him to agree.
• A violent wave erupted beneath the spirit mountain, and Little Silver was thrown out holding a cracked, gallbladder-shaped object as the fragment’s ground split.
• Xiao Hua used the Kunlun Mirror and his divine sense to overcome the object’s resistance and form a passage around Little Silver.
• Fairy Xingyue and Xu Zhi arrived, and Fairy Xingyue identified the object as a Spirit Gall that sustained a realm but was near annihilation.
• Fairy Xingyue warned that taking the Spirit Gall would leave the fragment without spiritual energy and doom its remaining spirit entities, so Xiao Hua asked whether the spirit mountain could be uprooted and saved.

Xiao Hua decided to save the spirit entities of the dying realm by bringing them into the Kunlun Mirror, and Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue offered to help. When Xiao Hua took the spirit core into his space, it transformed the surrounding void and drew the spirit entities into a rapidly expanding new continent.

• The spirit core shattered into crystal grains, releasing a powerful Heaven and Earth Will that shook the spaces around it.
• A nearby immature space expanded and pulled in the spirit entities from the Shenhua Continent, growing into a continent-like spatial fragment.

Xiao Hua used the Spirit Core to stabilize the Kunlun Immortal Realm and create a Spirit Realm, then helped Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue rescue the spirit bodies from a doomed space fragment. Afterward, he searched the Meteor belt for a passage onward and identified a likely space fragment, leaving Fairy Xingyue intrigued by his choice.

• Xiao Hua confirmed that the Spirit Core had stabilized in the Kunlun Immortal Realm and formed a Spirit Realm within his space.
• Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue enlarged and activated the Kunlun Mirror, while Xiao Hua guided the rescued spirit bodies into the Spirit Realm when the mirror began to shake.

• Xiao Hua inspected the Meteor belt with his Eye of Delusion Breaking and identified a black-and-white space fragment whose surrounding realm storm suggested it held a passage through the belt.
• Fairy Xingyue pointed out her own likely candidates, but Xiao Hua chose a different fragment and said its lines looked special.

Xiao Hua entered the passage through the Meteor belt and arrived in the strange, dark region of Star Moon Palace, where he could not contact Xu Zhi or Fairy Xingyue. After meeting Zhu Qing and learning about the Lost Star Palace, he set off with the Star Picking Tower disciples but stopped to seek another route to reunite with the Palace Lord.

• Fairy Xingyue gave Xiao Hua a star compass and led the group toward the spatial fragment he had identified, while the disciples left their flying boat behind.
• The group crossed the dangerous Meteor belt, where many Star Picking Tower and Confucian cultivator disciples were lost to spatial storms.
• Xiao Hua passed through a fragile transmission passage and emerged in a dark region where he could no longer sense his space; the star compass failed to locate Xu Zhi or Fairy Xingyue.
• Xiao Hua met Zhu Qing, who explained that the Star Picking Tower disciples were headed to the Fubo Mountain Range to explore the Lost Star Palace, and Xiao Hua agreed to accompany him for a time.
• After flying toward the mountain range, Xiao Hua stopped to pursue his agreement with Xu Zhi, but several disciples pleaded for him to escort them through the Strange Beast Circle.

Xiao Hua led Zhu Qing and the Star Picking Tower disciples into the Strange Beast Circle, where invisible beasts killed travelers and attacked the group. After one beast struck Xiao Hua and vanished from his counterattack, he realized the circle involved a strange difference in the flow of time.

• Xiao Hua decided to travel with Zhu Qing and the Star Picking Tower disciples to the Lost Star Palace after he could not contact Xu Zhi or Fairy Xingyue.
• Xiao Hua led the group into the Strange Beast Circle and told them to conceal themselves and hurry through as strange auras and roars filled the darkness.
• An invisible strange beast killed a Star Picking Tower disciple, and Xiao Hua’s attempt to locate it revealed the bodies of several other victims but no beast.
• The strange beast attacked Xiao Hua, but his body withstood the invisible blows, and his counterattack shattered space without revealing its target.
• Xiao Hua saw the beast’s phantom appear later and concluded that it had occupied a space where time moved differently from his own.

Xiao Hua escorted the Star Picking Tower disciples and others through the Strange Beast Circle to the Fubo Mountain Range, protecting them from attacks with lightning. At the range, he realized that its resistance was the power of time separating overlapping spaces, and his attempt to break through it with Lightning Evasion Technique failed.

• Xiao Hua used lightning defenses to shield Zhu Qing and other disciples from strange beast attacks as he guided them toward the Fubo Mountain Range.
• Xiao Hua made several trips to deliver most of the Star Picking Tower disciples, Confucian cultivators, and several great demons beneath the range.
• Xiao Hua saw golden, wave-like threads through his Eye of Delusion Breaking and connected them to the mountain range's shadow in another space.
• Xiao Hua realized that the resistance to fast flight was the power of time between two spaces occupying the same location.
• Xiao Hua attempted to break through the temporal barrier with Lightning Evasion Technique, but his body reappeared before the crossing was complete.
• Xiao Hua suspected that the Star Moon Palace existed beneath the sea in another space and continued onward.

Xiao Hua reached the Lost Star Palace and entered one of its strange palaces, while Ancestor Hongmeng used another palace to form a powerful Innate Dao Body. Ancestor Hongmeng celebrated his rebirth and vowed to reclaim supremacy over the Daoist sects and destroy Xiao Hua’s foundations if he resisted.

• Xiao Hua surveyed the Lost Star Palace and recognized the dissolving corpse of the body Ancestor Hongmeng had previously occupied.
• Xiao Hua entered a randomly chosen star palace through a distorted vortex as a nearby palace began to tremble and emit starlight.
• Ancestor Hongmeng revealed that he had chosen a palace where heaven and earth were newly formed to create a body using the Yin Yang Illustrated Manual.
• Ancestor Hongmeng’s old body disintegrated, and star power and mysterious runes shaped a new physical body from the characters for Heaven, Earth, and Human.
• Ancestor Hongmeng inspected his Innate Dao Body and declared that he would swiftly return to grand vehicle cultivation and dominate the Daoist sects.

Xiao Hua found a mysterious black box in a Star Palace and used its abundant starlight, moonlight, and Primordial Qi to give his companions opportunities to cultivate. Following the activated star compass toward Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue, he reached a frightening, apparently endless plain and saw several black shadows approaching.

• Ancestor Hongmeng revealed his Hundred Beasts Banner and cultivated in his Star Palace, while Xiao Hua remained unaware of his rival's growing strength.
• Xiao Hua found a second black box, stored it with the first, and brought Creation Sect disciples to a mountain to cultivate using a secret art that drew in starlight and moonlight.
• Xiao Hua brought Ao Sheng, Ao Zhan, Jiang Hong's descendants, and other companions into empty Star Palaces so they could cultivate in their different environments.
• After the Star Palaces' starlight and moonlight activated his star compass, Xiao Hua followed its arrow deeper into the Fubo Mountain Range toward Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue.
• Xiao Hua reached a vast, unsettling plain that his Dharma Eye could not examine, then noticed several black shadows flying toward him.

Xiao Hua met a group of human cultivators and demons who wanted to cross Ghost Plain to reach the Brilliant Star Sea, and agreed to travel with them despite warning that he could not guarantee their safety. As the group entered the plain, its darkness and strange restrictions left Xiao Hua unable to see or probe ahead.

• Chen Cheng and Ma Miaoke introduced themselves to Xiao Hua alongside four demons and explained that they were seeking a route through Ghost Plain to the Brilliant Star Sea.
• Xiao Hua agreed to lead the group through Ghost Plain, while warning them that he had no reliable way to evade its deadly restrictions.
• Chen Cheng led Xiao Hua toward a gathering point near Fubo Mountain Range, where more humans and demons assembled and waited for conditions to enter the plain.
• The humans and demons argued over whether Xiao Hua should walk at the front or in the middle, and Xiao Hua accepted the plan to go first.
• Xiao Hua entered Ghost Plain and found that darkness blocked his sight, divine sense, and ability to probe space.

Xiao Hua led a group through the Ghost Plain, where its restrictions and gales wielded devastating space laws that killed many cultivators. After narrowly surviving a light-shadow’s attack, he was swept to the edge of the Ghost Plain near the Brilliant Star Sea and continued cautiously.

• Xiao Hua found that thunderclouds, lightning, and demonic qi were corroded by the Ghost Plain’s restrictions, while Water Evasion proved slightly faster than his other tested techniques.
• A gale containing space laws swept Xiao Hua and the group away, and a passing light-shadow annihilated three Demon Race members and one human cultivator.
• After the gale passed, Xiao Hua reunited with Chen Cheng, Ma Miaoke, Fire Heron, Green Leopard, and Flying Tiger, but a restriction trapped them and the light-shadow destroyed the others.
• Xiao Hua used the Nan Yuan Bei Zhe soul-cultivation technique and Three Corpse Yin Thunder to resist the space laws until another gale swept him away from the light-shadow.
• Xiao Hua emerged near the edge of the Ghost Plain with the Brilliant Star Sea in sight and cautiously increased his flying speed.

Xiao Hua crossed Ghost Plain and reached a platform at the edge of Star Moon Palace’s deepest region, where he saw a mysterious golden pillar pass through the restrictions. After learning that Brilliant Star Sea offered cultivators a chance to gain extraordinary opportunities, he led some Confucian cultivators toward Star Picking Tower while others went to seek enlightenment beneath the stars.

• Xiao Hua reached the platform after surviving Ghost Plain and saw a gigantic golden pillar vanish beyond it.
• Human cultivators and Demon Race great demons arrived, and Xiao Hua learned that they had crossed Ghost Plain by relying on triggered hurricanes.
• A warlord told Xiao Hua that Brilliant Star Sea lay near the platform and that cultivators went there to seek opportunities in the starry sky.
• Xiao Hua warned the cultivators about the dangers, then set off toward Star Picking Tower with several Confucian cultivators while others chose their own paths.
• Xiao Hua entered Brilliant Star Sea, where a Confucian cultivator left the group to comprehend the starry sky.

Xiao Hua reached the Brilliant Star Sea, where countless distinct realm skies gathered, and reunited with Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue. After they addressed his anger over the Star Moon Palace’s dangers and recalled their Three Prohibitions, Xiao Hua chose to stay and seek the passage, which Xu Zhi said would be identified when the Immortal Realm aura appeared.

• Xiao Hua arrived at the Brilliant Star Sea and sent the human cultivators to explore its starry skies carefully.
• Xiao Hua found Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue beside thousands of surviving cultivators guarding a dozen starry skies.
• Xiao Hua challenged Fairy Xingyue over the dangers and losses in the Star Moon Palace, and Xu Zhi admitted he had concealed those dangers from him.
• Fairy Xingyue recited the Three Prohibitions, and Xu Zhi asked whether they could ignore them to intervene in the Three Great Continents’ conflicts.
• Xiao Hua set aside his resentment and asked which starry sky contained the passage; Xu Zhi said they would wait for the Immortal Realm aura to reveal it.

Xiao Hua discovered that the treasures from the Star Moon Palace were a Nine Dragon Coffin Seal and an unidentified black ruler, then guided Xu Zhi and Fairy Xingyue through the stellar maze to the passage to the Immortal Realm. The chapter left Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi preparing to reverse the Yin Yang Fish array before its passage closed.

• Xu Zhi’s lightning transformed the Heavenly Prison box into a Nine Dragon Coffin Seal, while the other box became a black ruler that neither Xu Zhi nor Fairy Xingyue could identify.
• Fairy Xingyue and Xu Zhi explained that the starry sky was a changing stellar maze containing a passage to the Immortal Realm, and Xiao Hua offered to lead them through it.
• Xiao Hua navigated the maze and found the hidden entrance by flying backward into a distortion in space, revealing a rotating Yin Yang Fish diagram.
• Fairy Xingyue warned that the immortal spiritual qi was weakening, and Xu Zhi said he and Xiao Hua had to stop and reverse the Yin Yang Fish to open the Gate of the Starry Sky.
• Xu Zhi took the Yang side and Xiao Hua the Yin side, and Xu Zhi began forming lightning above the array.

Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi combined their lightning powers to stop and reverse the Yin Yang Fish, opening a way into the starry sky beyond. They discovered the way led to a shrinking rift in the Immortal Realm, and Xu Zhi urged them to hurry through it.

• Xiao Hua and Xu Zhi tried matching their lightning against the Yin Yang Fish, but their power was either unbalanced or too weak to stop it.
• Xiao Hua revealed his Xuanming Demonic Lightning, then used four kinds of lightning together with Xu Zhi to halt and reverse the Yin Yang Fish.
• The backlash injured Xiao Hua as the Yin Yang Fish opened, and Fairy Xingyue carried him inside while giving him the stars and moon.
• Fairy Xingyue and Xiao Hua saw a vast starry region and a silver-lit rift that pierced an iron-blue planet.
• Xu Zhi identified the opening as a rift in the Immortal Realm and warned Fairy Xingyue and Xiao Hua that it was shrinking.

Fairy Xingyue prepared to return to the Immortal Realm, but Xu Zhi revealed that his damaged immortal mark made him unable to follow. She reluctantly ascended alone, promising to find the Saint Lotus Seed and return to heal him, while Xiao Hua remained with Xu Zhi.

• Fairy Xingyue thanked Xiao Hua and entered the pillar of light, beginning her return to the Immortal Realm.
• Xu Zhi told Fairy Xingyue that the injuries he had hidden for years had damaged his soul and immortal mark, preventing him from returning.
• Fairy Xingyue realized Xu Zhi’s past actions had been meant to protect her and wept as his deteriorating condition became clear.
• Xu Zhi persuaded Fairy Xingyue to return by promising that she could come back with the Buddhist Realm’s Saint Lotus Seed.
• Fairy Xingyue kissed Xu Zhi, ascended through the shrinking pillar, and promised to find the Saint Lotus Seed and return for him.
• Xiao Hua watched Fairy Xingyue depart and stood silently beside Xu Zhi as the light vanished.
