He set out for the Southern Region with An Miaoyi, while Duan De abandoned a fruitless search for a rumored tomb and decided to seek the Bronze Immortal Palace instead.

• Jiang Tingting told Jiang Yifei and the Jiang Family experts that Taiyi had helped resolve her Taiyin Physique’s early-death calamity, and a Half-Step Great Power confirmed her newfound vitality.
• The Jiang Family prepared to travel to the Taixuan Sect after learning that a seemingly deranged Saint from the Tianxuan Holy Land had appeared there and caused trouble while borrowing its Domain Gate.
• Half a month later, An Miaoyi reunited with Taiyi at Miaoyu Nunnery, and he said he planned to go to the Southern Region after hearing that the Bronze Immortal Palace had appeared.

• Taiyi swore a Dao oath and arranged to meet Duan De at the Bronze Immortal Palace in ten days.

• Wang Peng, newly promoted to Supreme Elder after entering the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, thanked Taiyi for the Elixir of Immortality Fragment that had helped him break through.

• Taiyi learned that Li Xuan had spread news of a Peerless Divine Source to draw the great bandits to the mining area.
• Taiyi and his companions used Yaoguang Holy Land’s Domain Gate to reach the Fifteenth Mining Area, where Li Xuan revealed that he and Wang Zheng had prepared Peerless Formation Patterns.

The three bandits fought back with Saint Weapons, but the jar was pulled away, leaving the confrontation unresolved as Wu Dao struggled to protect them.

• Li Xuan revealed his Peak Great Power strength and attacked Jiang Yi, who summoned Wu Dao and Tu Tian along with the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.

Taiyi seized the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar and used it to help Hua Yunfei access the Ruthless inheritance. The jar revealed the complete Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art, but Taiyi did not obtain the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

• Jiang Yi and Tu Tian tried to escape with Wu Dao, but Wang Zheng and Li Xuan destroyed Wu Dao’s Saint Furnace and suppressed the three bandits in the Purple Gold Gourd.

• Hua Yunfei traced the Nine-Character Imperial Script, causing the Demon Jar to reveal a Ghost Face Mark that imparted the complete Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art to Taiyi.
• Taiyi realized he had obtained the flawless devil art, including its Taboo Chapter, but not the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

• Taiyi suggested Hua Yunfei team up with Duan De, who could find tombs while Hua Yunfei sought the corpses within them.
• Hua Yunfei considered Taiyi's suggestion to work with Duan De.

Taiyi had Hua Yunfei bring Li Xiaoman to him and prepared to deal with the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo hidden inside her. With the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, Taiyi and his allies forced the Divine Embryo out and began destroying its Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact.

• Taiyi advised Hua Yunfei to consider seeking help from Duan De, then asked him to bring Li Xiaoman to him.

After sharing a meal on Clumsy Peak, he admitted he had come to investigate the Bronze Immortal Palace, leaving the three old friends together as its secrets drew them closer.

The chapter ended as Ye Fan and Pang Bo recounted their escape from the Bronze Immortal Palace while keeping their discovery of the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things secret.

• Taiyi met Li Ruoyu again, and Ye Fan and Pang Bo learned that Taiyi had obtained the Nine Secrets: Jie before Clumsy Peak's inheritance appeared.

• Ye Fan asked Taiyi to arrange passage to the Northern Region through the Yaoguang Holy Land's Domain Gate, and Taiyi agreed.
• Taiyi guessed that Ye Fan and Pang Bo had entered the Bronze Immortal Palace, and they described how they had been pursued by Ji Family cultivators and barely escaped after being swallowed by it.

Taiyi took Ye Fan and Pang Bo to the Northern Region, where Yao Xi joined their journey. After warning them about the dangers and his enemies, he suggested they rob marauders to obtain Source.

• Taiyi suggested that Ye Fan and Pang Bo rob marauder bands for Source, and they were eager to try.

• The Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Lake Holy Maiden welcomed the visitors and led them to the Immortal Pool, where Taiyi saw an ancient fruit-bearing tree.

Taiyi supplied his Sun Saint Blood to nourish Jade Lake’s Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo, which was expected to emerge in five thousand years. When the Stone Embryo asked for more blood, the Queen Mother of the West offered Taiyi another reward, and he jokingly asked for the Jade Lake Holy Maiden.

• Taiyi examined the Nine-Aperture Stone Embryo and warned that its emergence could bring Jade Lake calamity, while the Queen Mother of the West said a Primordial Saint had once taught it.
• Nangong Qi used Source Arts as Taiyi gave his Sun Saint Blood to nourish the Stone Embryo, and the Jade Lake Holy Maiden estimated it could emerge in five thousand years.
• The Stone Embryo sent the Queen Mother of the West a request for more of Taiyi’s blood, and she offered him an additional reward in exchange.
• Taiyi recalled Jade Lake’s old wager involving a Holy Maiden and teasingly asked for the current Jade Lake Holy Maiden, provoking objections from the Queen Mother of the West and the Supreme Elders.

Taiyi negotiated with the Jade Pool Holy Land to nourish its Saint Spirit Stone Embryo in exchange for Dao Scripture volumes, then chose a mysterious Stone King to suppress. He concealed the struggle inside a curtain of black light, leaving the others alarmed by the Emperor Weapon aura.

• Taiyi agreed to nourish the Jade Pool Holy Land’s Stone King with Sun Saint Blood for three days in exchange for the Dao Palace Scroll and Immortal Platform Volume of the Dao Scripture.

• The Jade Pool Holy Land brought out its Stone Kings, and Taiyi selected the multicolored stone that he suspected contained the Heavenly Emperor’s Son.
• Taiyi summoned a nine-story black Ancient Pagoda, which made the Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda tremble.
• As the multicolored Stone King tried to escape through the void, Taiyi used the pagoda to cover it in black light and conceal what happened inside.
• The onlookers sensed an Emperor Weapon’s aura and realized an ordinary Inherited Saint Weapon could not suppress the Stone King.

Taiyi suppressed the multicolored Stone King inside the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, then exchanged scriptures with the Jade Pool Holy Land and shared the Dao Scripture with his companions. Three days later, he stood beneath the Ancient Peach Tree beside the Immortal Pool and cut his left wrist with condensed divine power.

• Taiyi used the black Ancient Pagoda, secretly bolstered by the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, to seal the Stone King, and told Yao Xi that the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron was borrowed.

• Three days later, Taiyi drew a small divine-power knife across his left wrist beneath the Ancient Peach Tree beside the Immortal Pool.

Taiyi tried to obtain the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body remains from the Azure Flood Dragon King by offering medicine, while Wang Zheng and Li Xuan went to negotiate. As Taiyi studied the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art and Yao Xi and the others examined the Dao Scripture, the Lihuo Divine Furnace suddenly stirred.

• Taiyi left the Jade Pool Holy Land after completing his three-day transaction and accepted the Queen Mother of the West's invitation to a stone appreciation gathering.
• Li Xuan told Taiyi that the Azure Flood Dragon King was negotiating alongside the Peacock King and Yan Ruyu, and Taiyi proposed using Little Medicine Kings to secure the sage remains.
• Taiyi met Han Dong and Lin Qing at Yunze Prefecture, where they reported the Azure Flood Dragon King's demand for five Ancient Medicine Kings.
• Taiyi set a limit of three Little Medicine Kings, with an Ancient Medicine King and additional Little Medicine Kings as a final offer, and sent Wang Zheng and Li Xuan to negotiate with the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
• Taiyi studied the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art while Yao Xi, Han Dong, and Lin Qing examined the Dao Scripture, until the Lihuo Divine Furnace showed unusual activity.

Wang Zheng and Li Xuan returned with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body remains after trading a Medicine King and a Little Medicine King to the Demon Race. When Taiyi touched the remains, he resonated with and merged with them, discovering what he recognized as the Sacred Body Lineage’s exclusive secret technique.

• Wang Zheng and Li Xuan reported that they had obtained the Sacred Body remains from the Demon Race at a steep price and returned the Purple Gold Gourd to Taiyi.
