Gu Chenfeng assessed his new Nirvana Realm strength and examined the treasures he had won in the Demon Cavern. After discovering that a crystal from Thousand Illusions Daoist rapidly strengthened his Law Power, physical body, and Divine Sense, he decided to seek out more Demon Caverns and travel the Cultivation World.

• Gu Chenfeng tested his Law Power and Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, concluding that he could match or potentially defeat an ordinary Half-Step Source Venerable Realm expert.

• Gu Chenfeng decided to travel the Cultivation World, seek out large Demon Caverns, test his strength, and strengthen the Four Symbols Sect.

After three years of worsening demon invasions, the Four Symbols Sect became a dominant force under Gu Chenfeng and was renamed the Four Symbols Divine Sect.

• At a large demon cavern on the Star Luo Domain’s border with the Half-Mountain Demon Ape Tribe, Gongsun Yan and Ming Ye fought two Half-Step Source Venerable Realm apes over the cavern and its treasures.

• Gu Chenfeng tore through the restriction from the Core Region, knocked the mountain aside, and announced that he had slain the evil demons there and would handle the two apes.

Gu Chenfeng defeated and sealed two Half-Step Source Venerable Ape Race experts after they tried to stop him from leaving the Demon Cavern. He spared them and warned the Human and Demon Races to unite against the Evil Demons, leaving the two Ape Race experts shaken and determined to avoid the Four Symbols Divine Sect.

After returning from a large Demon Cavern, Gu Chenfeng sent the Four Symbols Divine Sect’s main force home and hurried to Star Luo Hall after receiving a summons from his master, Mu Chen. He suspected the meeting might concern the being sealed within the Guixu Cauldron, which he feared was close to breaking free.

• The Four Symbols Divine Sect’s fleet returned from the border Demon Cavern, where Gu Chenfeng had used the Thousand Illusions Treasure Mirror to subdue two Half-Step Source Venerable Realm Ape Race experts.

• Gu Chenfeng recalled that Mu Chen had summoned him to Star Luo Hall and wondered whether the meeting concerned the being sealed within the Guixu Cauldron.

Gu Chenfeng returned to Star Luo Hall as its forces were being recalled amid escalating demonic threats and disputes over Eagle Vengeance Peak. He reunited with Mu Chen, who warned him that the real war was about to begin.

• Pan said Gu Chenfeng might help Dust-Cleansing Peak regain ground when he returned to the hall.
• Gu Chenfeng passed through the checkpoint without being recognized, and the deacons later realized who he was from the entry records.
• Gu Chenfeng hurried to Dust-Cleansing Peak and reunited with his master, Mu Chen.
• Mu Chen told Gu Chenfeng that the real war was about to begin.

Mu Chen told Gu Chenfeng that Star Luo Hall stood above a sealed Super Demon Cavern that would break open within two months, and appointed him to command Dust-Cleansing Peak’s forces in suppressing it. Gu Chenfeng accepted after learning he could take over Kaiyang Island as its acting lord and use the island’s privileges.

• Mu Chen revealed that the Human and Demon Races’ super forces existed in part to suppress ancient restrictions sealing powerful Upper Realm invaders, including a Super Demon Cavern beneath Star Luo Hall.
• Mu Chen said the weakening Plane Laws would cause the cavern’s seal to break within a month or two, and explained that the leading Star Luo Hall experts would enter its Core Region to fight the Source Venerable Realm beasts.

• Mu Chen praised Gu Chenfeng’s accomplishments, then declined to explain the guarded situation at the Abyss Ruins when Gu Chenfeng asked about it.
• Mu Chen appointed Gu Chenfeng to command Dust-Cleansing Peak’s forces and secured his appointment as acting island lord of Kaiyang Island.

Si Mingwei and Jiang Yin tried to stop Li Qingluo, Shen Tai, and Dong Ting from taking Kaiyang Island’s supplies and personnel before Gu Chenfeng could assume his new post. When Li Qingluo attacked them, Gu Chenfeng arrived and ordered everyone to put everything down.

• Gu Chenfeng shattered Li Qingluo’s attack with a crimson-gold finger imprint and ordered everyone to put everything down.

Gu Chenfeng returned to Kaiyang Island and confronted Dong Ting over the attempted removal of the island’s personnel and forged IOUs. After Li Qingluo and Shen Tai exposed Dong Ting, Gu Chenfeng seized their secret cooperation contract and demanded to know what the two island lords had to say.

• Gu Chenfeng arrived at the main hall plaza, and his reputation made the Kaiyang Island group hesitate.
• Gu Chenfeng challenged Dong Ting for taking Kaiyang Island’s personnel away without approval and warned the island’s elites they could lose their posts.
• Dong Ting presented IOUs for resources allegedly borrowed from Jade Balance Island and Heavenly Pivot Island, but Li Qingluo and Shen Tai accused him of forging them alone.
• Dong Ting revealed that Li Qingluo and Shen Tai had helped arrange the scheme and produced their secret cooperation contract.
• Gu Chenfeng snatched the contract from Dong Ting and kicked him away, then confronted Li Qingluo and Shen Tai with the evidence.

Gu Chenfeng took control of Kaiyang Island, forced Jade Balance Island and Heavenly Pivot Island to compensate him for their attack, and reunited with Si Mingwei and Jiang Yin. Later, the bronze coffin reacted to the approaching opening of Star Luo Hall’s super demon cavern, leaving Gu Chenfeng wondering about their connection.

• Gu Chenfeng used the evidence in Dong Ting’s jade-slip contract to stop Li Qingluo and Shen Tai from fleeing and demanded compensation for their raid on Kaiyang Island.
• Li Qingluo and Shen Tai agreed to send compensation and write promissory notes rather than risk Gu Chenfeng reporting their scheme to the Hall Master.
• Gu Chenfeng received the gifts, shared some of the compensation with Si Mingwei, Jiang Yin, and Kaiyang Island’s personnel, and celebrated with his fellow disciples.
• Si Mingwei recalled refusing her master’s proposal that she and Gu Chenfeng become Dao companions, then returned to Dust-Cleansing Peak with Jiang Yin.
• While Gu Chenfeng cultivated in Kaiyang Island’s cave abode, the approaching super demon cavern sent out a powerful aura, and the bronze coffin emerged and resisted his summons.
• The bronze coffin seemed eager to enter the super demon cavern before returning to the Reverse Scale Space, and Gu Chenfeng wondered whether the two ancient mysteries were connected.

A super demon cavern emerged in the marsh, and Star Luo Hall’s five peaks sealed in its spreading demonic qi. Star Venerable Beichen assigned the leaders of the seven Star Islands and the supreme main peaks to suppress the demons, then asked Gu Chenfeng to remain behind.

• A super demon cavern tore open beneath the marsh, releasing black qi that threatened to engulf the seven Star Islands.

• Beichen dismissed everyone except Gu Chenfeng and asked him to stay.

Hall Master Beichen assigned Gu Chenfeng to guard the passage into the demon cavern’s Core Region while the Venerables fought its Source Venerable Realm evil demons. Gu Chenfeng accepted the dangerous mission, which also required him to watch for hidden Soul Devouring Beast hosts among Star Luo Hall’s people.

• Beichen praised Gu Chenfeng’s strength and explained that three Venerables would enter the Core Region to kill the Source Venerable Realm evil demons.
• Beichen told Gu Chenfeng to guard the sealed passage against attacks from inside the cavern and revealed that evil demon allies might be hiding within Star Luo Hall.
• Gu Chenfeng considered the danger of Soul Devouring Beasts possessing or corrupting martial artists and recognized that the mission involved guarding against hidden hosts.
• Mu Chen offered Gu Chenfeng a choice of three treasures or texts as a reward, and said he could refuse if he swore to keep the matter secret.
• Gu Chenfeng accepted the mission, and Beichen declared that the evil demons would remain buried beneath the earth.

Star Luo Hall launched an assault on the super Demon Cavern, and Gu Chenfeng joined the advance toward its Core Region. During the battle, he suddenly crushed several Star Luo Hall elders, leaving his allies shocked.

• Star Venerable Beichen rallied Star Luo Hall, and three Source Venerable experts broke through the Demon Cavern's entrance while Rocky Mountain Venerable sealed the surrounding area.

• Gu Chenfeng ignored them and used fire element law to seize and crush several Star Luo Hall elders on the battlefield.

• Gu Chenfeng slew Ling Qianxue's two companions and gravely wounded her with Heaven's Mandate Nine Strikes.
• As Gu Chenfeng brought down his axe to kill Ling Qianxue, a Scarlet Giant Hand caught the blow and Blood Refining Venerable emerged from a spatial rift.

Gu Chenfeng used his strongest techniques and Purplecloud Divine Peak to withstand Blood Refining Venerable’s attacks, but the Source Venerable Realm expert overwhelmed him. Blood Refining Venerable thought he had killed Gu Chenfeng, only to realize he had escaped through the restriction barrier at the Core Region passage.

• Gu Chenfeng blocked Blood Refining Venerable’s demonic hand with Man-Slaying Strike and Purplecloud Divine Peak, then used the Azure Dragon Secret Art to force it back.

• Blood Refining Venerable sensed that Gu Chenfeng’s body and aura had vanished, then saw ripples in the restriction barrier and realized Gu Chenfeng had escaped.

Gu Chenfeng escaped the Blood Refining Venerable through a restricted passage, but the passage weakened as an enemy trap threatened Mu Chen and the others in the Core Region. The Bronze Coffin broke free of Gu Chenfeng’s restraints, pulled him inside, and raced toward the Core Region while the Blood Refining Venerable planned to seal the passage.

• Gu Chenfeng used the Thousand Illusions Treasure Mirror and Hall Master Beichen’s Restriction Passage Token to escape the Blood Refining Venerable and enter the restricted passage.

• The Bronze Coffin resisted the Blood Refining Venerable’s attacks and escaped his blood tide, racing toward the Core Region as he vowed to seal the passage and capture everyone in Star Luo Hall.

The Soul Devouring Beasts trapped Star Venerable Beichen, Cold Heaven Venerable, and Sword-Walking Venerable with the Ten Thousand Yin Banner and summoned Blood Refining Venerable to finish them. As Gu Chenfeng approached the Core Region inside the Bronze Coffin, it concealed itself and released a mysterious human-shaped figure.

• The three Soul Devouring Beasts revealed they had gained control of the Ten Thousand Yin Banner and used it to imprison the three Venerables.
• The Soul Devouring Beasts said Blood Refining Venerable was entering the Core Region, and the Venerables sensed his approaching aura and worried about Gu Chenfeng.

• Star Venerable Beichen released the Star-Locking Disc, which summoned starlight to halt the banner’s attack in a stalemate.
• The Bronze Coffin concealed Gu Chenfeng from Blood Refining Venerable as it neared the Core Region, then sent a vaguely human-shaped figure flying out.

Blood Refining Venerable joined the three Soul Devouring Beasts to seize the Star Luo Hall venerables, but a mysterious chant summoned the Ten Thousand Yin Banner away. Star Venerable and the others turned the tables by sealing the passage with Blood Refining Venerable trapped inside.

• Blood Refining Venerable entered the Core Region and agreed with the three dark figures to take the Star Luo Hall venerables as hosts and seize the Hall.

Gu Chenfeng returned to Mu Chen after the battle at the Demon Cavern and learned that Star Luo Hall had won, though Blood Refining Venerable escaped. After recovering from his injuries, Gu Chenfeng noticed strange midnight tremors from the Bronze Coffin and later went to Dust-Cleansing Peak to collect his rewards and prepare to return to the Four Symbols Sect.

• A strange, resentful aura swept through the Bronze Coffin Space, which then became more vibrant as Gu Chenfeng glimpsed a womanlike figure leaving the coffin.

• Mu Chen offered Gu Chenfeng three requests or rewards in recognition of his contributions during the suppression of the Demon Cavern.
• Gu Chenfeng recovered over the next several days but noticed the Bronze Coffin tremble at midnight; half a month later, he went to Dust-Cleansing Peak to collect his rewards and prepare to return to the Four Symbols Sect.

Gu Chenfeng received a Source Venerable Realm Soul Devouring Beast’s spirit crystal and learned that an Upper Realm expert imprisoned at the Human and Demon Races Borderlands was close to breaking free. As he began refining the crystal on his way home, the bronze coffin opened and a little girl emerged, calling him “Dada.”

• Gu Chenfeng asked Mu Chen for a Source Venerable Realm Soul Devouring Beast’s spirit crystal, and Mu Chen agreed to obtain one as a reward for his contributions.
• Mu Chen warned Gu Chenfeng that the super demon caverns’ seals were weakening and revealed that an imprisoned Upper Realm expert would soon break free, making the borderlands near the Four Symbols Divine Sect a likely battlefield.
• Gu Chenfeng received the spirit crystal, a Heaven Grade Defensive Body Technique, and a defensive ancient treasure, then left Star Luo Hall for the Four Symbols Divine Sect.
• Gu Chenfeng began refining the spirit crystal aboard his flying boat, but the bronze coffin inside his Azure Dragon Reverse Scale began shaking violently at midnight.
• The bronze coffin appeared in the cabin and opened, releasing a little girl who floated out and threw herself into Gu Chenfeng’s arms, calling him “Dada.”

Gu Chenfeng found a little girl inside the Bronze Coffin who insisted he was her father, though she remembered nothing of her past. He named her Tongtong and brought her back to the Four Symbols Divine Sect, while discovering that she grew stronger by absorbing energy as she slept.

• The little girl emerged from the Bronze Coffin, called Gu Chenfeng Daddy, and cried when he instinctively pushed her away.
• Gu Chenfeng comforted the girl, but she could remember only darkness and remained certain that he was her family.
• The girl summoned the Bronze Coffin, which flew to her and transformed into red light before entering her body.
• Gu Chenfeng decided the girl was connected to the Bronze Coffin, called himself her Big Brother, and named her Tongtong.
• During their journey back, Gu Chenfeng observed that Tongtong slept often and absorbed energy from heaven and earth to strengthen herself.
• Gu Chenfeng returned to the Four Symbols Divine Sect's encampment with Tongtong.

After returning to the Four Symbols Divine Sect with Tongtong, Gu Chenfeng ordered the sect to consolidate its territory and prepared to cultivate for the coming crisis. Meanwhile, the Blood Refining Venerable learned that his master’s seal was close to breaking and ordered Ling Qianxue to disrupt Gu Chenfeng’s sect.

• At Rosy Glow Peak, Gu Chenfeng introduced Tongtong as a child he had picked up, then asked the sect’s leaders about recent events.
• Xie Guhong reported that the sect’s demon caverns had been suppressed and that abnormal fluctuations had shaken the Abyss Ruins at the Human-Demon border.
• Gu Chenfeng ordered the Four Symbols Divine Sect to stop expanding, strengthen patrols, and focus on cultivation and defending its territory.

• Ling Qianxue told the Blood Refining Venerable that Star Luo Hall had slain the three generals and wiped out most of the Soul Devouring Beasts in the sealed cavern.
• The Blood Refining Venerable revealed that his master’s escape would begin an Upper Realm Four Clans counterattack and ordered Ling Qianxue to sow trouble within Gu Chenfeng’s Four Symbols Divine Sect.

After two years in seclusion, Gu Chenfeng emerged to hear that super demon caverns were stirring and tensions were rising along the Human-Demon border. He sensed a hidden visitor southwest of the sect, and Tongtong pointed out the figure as it appeared.
