He spent years investigating a barren planet and shouting a supposed password without success, then prepared to continue cultivating before his scheduled return visit.

• Dongguan searched a desolate mineral planet for an unknown plant lifeform, found nothing, and later used his world power to make the planet vanish temporarily.
• Dongguan activated Time Realm and expanded his internal world into multiple layers, with a white hole at its core and 10,081 star worlds surrounding the origin world.

Dongguan met Cang, the guardian of Dong Shending Cang’s hidden Divine Kingdom, and learned that the Wood and Grass Divine Cauldron was an incomplete origin-type treasure that could produce Divine Plant Essence and accelerate immortal recovery. He left the cauldron in place and took the Heaven and Earth Flower with him, intending to grow stronger before seeking the missing Cauldron Pearl from King Huozhen.

• Dongguan emerged into a metal chamber where Cang tested him and, after checking Qiong’s records, accepted that he had not been sent by King Huozhen.
• Cang explained that the Wood and Grass Divine Cauldron converted Universe Crystals into Divine Plant Essence and could speed the recovery of immortal divine bodies, but it could not be claimed or controlled without its missing Cauldron Pearl.
• Dongguan saw the cauldron and learned that moving it would stop its automated operation, so he decided to leave it in place until he could safely retrieve the Cauldron Pearl.
• Cang gave Dongguan the Heaven and Earth Flower and agreed to keep guarding the cauldron while Dongguan prepared to become strong enough to reclaim its missing part.
• Dongguan left the Illusion-Light Vine behind and used the Heaven and Earth Flower to teleport with Cang toward Donghua Starfield.

He reached King Rank understanding and continued toward Chaos City after clashing with the arrogant True Yan King.
