• Ye Fan asked Taiyi’s cultivation realm, and Taiyi teased him rather than revealing that he had reached the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Taiyi reunited with Ye Fan and learned about his hardships, Pang Bo’s possession, and the treasures Ye Fan had found. Taiyi revealed he knew where Pang Bo was and offered to help rescue him, while explaining that returning to Earth would require an Ancient Saint, Earth’s coordinates, and mastery of the Five-Colored Altar’s formation patterns.

• Ye Fan told Taiyi how he opened his Bitter Sea, fled Spirit Ruins Paradise with treasures from the Demon Emperor’s Tomb, and reached the Life Spring Realm while evading powerful pursuers.

• Taiyi explained that crossing the starry sky required an Ancient Saint and that returning to Earth would also require its coordinates and the Five-Colored Altar’s formation patterns.
• Taiyi told Ye Fan that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could cultivate but required enormous resources, with each realm consuming at least ten times more than the previous one.

Taiyi told Ye Fan that the resources and dangers ahead could make his cultivation difficult, then explained why he could not openly intervene to protect Ye Fan’s former classmates. The chapter left Ye Fan considering Taiyi’s offer to trade for the Dao Scripture’s Four Extremes Scroll, while wondering whether Yaoguang also had its Dao Palace volume.

• Taiyi warned Ye Fan that advancing would require enormous resources and that the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body might face a deadly calamity at the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but Ye Fan vowed to keep searching for a way home.
• Ye Fan asked Taiyi to help free Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Zhang Wenchang, and the others, and Taiyi said his influence was limited and direct intervention could put them in greater danger.
• Taiyi promised to follow the powers into the sacred mountain and look for a chance to protect Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, Li Xiaoman, and the others.
• Taiyi revealed that he had sensed Ye Fan’s Dao Scripture aura because Yaoguang possessed fragments of the scripture and offered to trade its complete Four Extremes Scroll.
• Ye Fan asked whether Yaoguang also had the Dao Palace Scroll, since he needed a cultivation method for that realm.

Taiyi and Ye Fan exchanged the Dao Scripture’s Four Extremes Scroll for its Wheel Sea Scroll, and Taiyi quickly absorbed the latter’s contents. Taiyi revealed that he possessed the Sun Sacred Body and urged Ye Fan to keep it secret, then advised him to seek the remaining Dao Scripture scrolls.

• Taiyi told Ye Fan he had awakened the Sun Sacred Body after eating Sacred Fruits in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and asked him to keep it secret.
• Taiyi warned Ye Fan to gather the other Dao Scripture scrolls rather than cultivate a different scripture for each secret realm.

Taiyi warned Ye Fan that cultivating separate Ancient Scriptures for each secret realm could damage his foundation, while Ye Fan worried about finding the complete Dao Scripture and decided to defer the problem. Days later, Taiyi watched the three great powers enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and prepared to make his own attempt to reach the immortal palace.

• Taiyi explained to Ye Fan that one main Ancient Scripture could connect the Five Great Secret Realms, while collecting scriptures carried serious risks.
• Ye Fan admitted he had hoped to use the strongest scripture for each secret realm and worried that the complete Dao Scripture would be difficult to obtain.
• Taiyi warned Ye Fan against trying to trade with powerful factions without the strength to protect himself, and Ye Fan chose to focus on his current cultivation.
• Taiyi observed the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Jiang Family, and the Ji Family begin advancing into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land with a group that included Ye Fan, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, and Wang Ziwen.
• As the expedition moved out of sight, Taiyi decided it was time to act and attempt to enter the immortal palace.

• Taiyi overtook the group and entered the Immortal Palace first, leaving a concealed mark on Lin Jia as he passed.
• Taiyi appeared in a vast, pristine hall and wondered whether the palace had been left by the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Taiyi explored the fallen Ancient Heavenly Court palace and found fragments of failed Nine-Turn Immortal Pills, the Nine Secrets: Shu, and an extraordinary Dao cushion.

• Taiyi found a Purple Gold Gourd containing fragments of failed Nine-Turn Immortal Pills and recognized the gourd as a powerful Saint Weapon.

• Taiyi discovered that the wood inside the cushion was the trunk of the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Taiyi left the vanished Immortal Palace and refined the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill fragments in seclusion to strengthen his body, divine sense, and potential. As time passed, his three secret realms resonated with the Enlightenment Cushion, and extraordinary phenomena filled the cave.

• Taiyi realized the Immortal Palace was only a projection and found himself outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
• Taiyi left to cultivate, expecting Ye Fan to contact him if he needed help saving Pang Bo.
• Taiyi sealed a cave with Formation Patterns, sat on the Enlightenment Cushion, and swallowed the immortal pill fragments.
• Taiyi suppressed the pill’s power rather than advancing recklessly, refining it into greater potential and strengthening his constitution and divine sense.
• Taiyi continued circulating the Sun True Scripture as his secret realms resonated with the cushion and radiant phenomena filled the cave.

After transforming through the immortal pill fragments, Taiyi continued cultivating and entered a rare state of enlightenment while practicing the Sun God Fist. His manifestation merged with him, revealing a Divine Form as Han Dong and Lin Qing sealed off the area to protect his cultivation.

• Taiyi completed a profound bodily transformation, then continued cultivating on the Enlightenment Cushion and practiced his Secret Techniques with his primordial spirit.
• After seven days, Taiyi's Sun God Fist resonated with his manifestation, destroying the mountain range and summoning ten suns, a Fusang Ancient Tree, and Golden Crows.
• Han Dong and Lin Qing recognized that Taiyi was gaining enlightenment and sealed the surrounding area so no one would disturb him.
• Han Dong and Lin Qing identified Taiyi's Sun Sacred Power and surmised that he possessed the Sun Sacred Body, cultivated the Sun True Scripture, and was practicing its Sun God Fist.
• The ten suns merged and descended into Taiyi as the Fusang Ancient Tree's radiance entered him and his primordial spirit returned to his brow.
• Taiyi's power formed a Divine Form, and Han Dong and Lin Qing exclaimed at the sight.

Taiyi completed his Sun Divine Form after seven days of enlightenment, astonishing Han Dong and Lin Qing. Unable to suppress his cultivation any longer, he prepared to break through and undergo a lightning tribulation.

• Han Dong recognized Taiyi's evolving Sun Divine Form, and Lin Qing marveled that he was showing an Emperor Form in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
• After seven days, Taiyi emerged from enlightenment and unleashed a powerful strike of the Sun God Fist.
• Taiyi realized the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill fragment's remaining medicinal power was pushing his cultivation toward another breakthrough.
• Taiyi told Han Dong and Lin Qing to withdraw their Formation Patterns so he could undergo his tribulation.
• A bolt of lightning struck and devastated the mountain, while the Primal Chaos Ancient Bell appeared above Taiyi to undergo the tribulation with him.
