• Old Man Gu Qiong and Hao Yue Jushi explained that the Dao Alliance and Heavenly Alliance had searched for stable spatial passages because Yilin Continent’s altered Spiritual Qi threatened cultivation.
• Xiao Hua said his arrival from the Myriad Monster Realm had been accidental and that no obvious passage lay near the Western Wilderness Mountain Range.
• Hao Yue Jushi recounted being stranded for centuries in the Dark Spirit Realm after crossing from the Moqing Forbidden Area, and Xiao Hua identified it.

As Taiwei Azure Light erupted from Water Origin in the planar rift, Xiao Hua recognized it as the missing Five Elements Origin he needed and knelt to kowtow to Heaven.

• Xiao Hua described his battle over primordial magnetism and explained that he spared Kong Jing because the young cultivator had no intent to kill him.
• Kong Qiang thanked Xiao Hua and revealed that Peacock Mountain Villa needed primordial magnetism to build an array for its Five-Colored Divine Light.
• The Kunlun Mirror’s light pillar collapsed, unleashing Taiwei Azure Light and the planar storm across the Heavenly Wind Forbidden Area.
• Xiao Hua recognized the dark point at the heart of the eruption as Water Origin, and the cultivators agreed to approach it together.
• Xiao Hua recalled that Water Origin was the last Five Elements Origin he needed and knelt in midair to kowtow nine times toward Heaven.

• Xiao Hua apologized for needing the Water Origin and offered Kong Qiang magnetism in compensation, prompting Kong Qiang, Hao Yue Jushi, and Old Man Gu Qiong to volunteer their help.

• Xiao Hua tried to draw the Water Origin with the aura in his space and the Big Dipper Divine Fist, but neither could pull it across the planar boundary.
• Huang Tong opened a Void Passage toward the Water Origin, but the planar storm collapsed it; Xiao Hua then joined his power of Laws with Huang Tong's attempt to extend another passage.

Xiao Hua used the Night Family Ink Immortal Scroll to stabilize a passage through the dimensional storm and bring the Water Origin into it, but he could not draw the Origin into the Yilin Continent. He then had Kong Qiang attempt to collect it with the Five-Colored Divine Light.

• Ye Zhen gave Xiao Hua the Night Family Ink Immortal Scroll, which contained an Immortal Realm art for stabilizing space and a passage-maintenance art.
• Huang Tong comprehended the passage-maintenance art and taught it to Xiao Hua and the others, allowing them to extend a stable passage through the dimensional storm.
• Xiao Hua and Huang Tong extended the passage until the Water Origin entered it, but Xiao Hua’s aura and Big Dipper Divine Fist could not pull it through the dimensional barrier.
• True Person Da suggested using the Yilin Continent’s Five Elements power, and Xiao Hua sent Kong Qiang to try collecting the Water Origin.
• Kong Qiang summoned his Five-Colored Peacock Dharma Body, causing vortices to form and draw in the surrounding Five Elements spiritual energy.

Xiao Hua and Kong Qiang drew the Water Origin across the barrier between the Myriad Monster Realm and Yilin Continent, allowing Xiao Hua to absorb it and complete the tempering of his body with the seven origins. The Light Escape Technique showed no obvious effect, and Xiao Hua considered whether to help others cross the planar storm before deciding not to delay Yilin Continent’s cultivators.

• Kong Qiang repeatedly used his five-colored divine light to pull the Water Origin toward Yilin Continent, but exhausted himself before it could cross the boundary.
• Xiao Hua infused Kong Qiang’s final effort with six-colored spirit fire, strengthening the divine light until the Water Origin broke through into Yilin Continent.
• Xiao Hua drew the Water Origin into his body, where it tempered him, his avatars, and the scattered infants; he then sent the Water Origin into his space, completing the seven-origin transformation.

• Xiao Hua found no visible change after returning to his body and questioned whether he had misunderstood how to cultivate the Light Escape Technique.
• Xiao Hua considered using the Ye family’s spatial stabilization technique to help Gu Qiong and Hao Yue Jushi reach the Myriad Monster Realm, but decided against risking delays for Yilin Continent’s cultivators.

Xiao Hua obtained the Water Origin, integrated it into his body, and realized he had only begun to touch the threshold of Light Evasion. He agreed that the cultivators could observe his future ascension, but their plans to accompany him to the Xiaoyu Continent stalled when they explained the deadly dangers of the Wumeng Mountain Range.

• Xiao Hua tested his newly awakened Light Evasion in the dimensional storm and concluded that completing Bone Refining Seven Colors would let him travel through light.
• Xiao Hua thanked Ye Zhen, Kong Qiang, Old Man Gu Qiong, and the others for helping him obtain the Water Origin, then gave them Rejuvenation Pills and Immortal Peaches.
• Xiao Hua revealed that the Water Origin had merged with his body and explained that he had not sensed the Gate of the Immortal Realm because his cultivation method differed from theirs.
• Old Man Gu Qiong, Hao Yue Jushi, and the others asked to observe Xiao Hua's ascension, and Xiao Hua said they would need to follow him to the Xiaoyu Continent.
• Old Man Gu Qiong and Hao Yue Jushi warned that the Wumeng Mountain Range was far more perilous than the dimensional route, with powerful cultivators rarely surviving the crossing.
