He Mu recognized that the plan would benefit the other Kings while burdening him, and considered how to secure a proper domain without provoking Changyi into an immediate fight.

• He Mu arrived at the Heavenly Immortal Academy’s deepest core and sensed the Wuliang Dao Wheel sealed inside a grotto.
• The seal’s eerie light bound the ancient stele as blood-colored clouds and lightning engulfed the Human Immortal Aspect.

• He Mu decided to bring Heavenly Immortal Academy under his command because it had deep roots and inherited part of the Wuliang Dao’s legacy.

• Shi Hao took his leave to cultivate, while He Mu returned to deducing the New Chaotic Ancient Method.
• The academy's old headmaster informed He Mu that envoys from the Forbidden Zones had arrived, including three True Immortals and several Supreme experts.
• The envoys disparaged the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and some Supremes suspected the awakened Immortal King was merely an ownerless King Artifact they could seize.
