At the Seven Star Alliance’s founding meeting, Pei Jin’s assembly learned that Gu Chenfeng had become a Source Venerable, but the Demon Race’s representatives rejected Star Luo Hall’s claim to join the alliance’s core. As the vote was about to begin, someone opened the hall doors and challenged the meeting’s fairness on Star Luo Hall’s behalf.

After others urged them to join different sects, Mu Chen requested an immediate ruling on the Four Symbols Divine Sect’s ascension to a super force.

Mu Chen and Panyue announced that Star Luo Hall would merge into the Four Symbols Divine Sect, then sought an assessment for the new sect to join the Seven Star Alliance as a core force.

• Mu Chen and Panyue declared that Star Luo Hall would dissolve and join the Four Symbols Divine Sect, with Gu Chenfeng taking the lead.

Panyue lost the first match against Liaogu, and as the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe’s Supreme Elder entered for the second match, Mu Chen stepped in to face him instead of Gu Chenfeng.

• The Dragon Race Great Protector supported the Four Symbols Divine Sect’s bid, and Pei Jin announced an assessment requiring three arena matches with no more than one loss.

Afterward, Mu Chen revealed to Gu Chenfeng and Panyue that he had been bluffing through his injuries and told Gu Chenfeng he had to win the final match.

• Mu Chen entered the magic treasure’s space to face the blond man, while the Infinite Sword Sect’s black-robed swordsman tested Gu Chenfeng with his gaze.

• Mu Chen used Shatter Void to split the golden mountain and shatter the blond man’s seal, leaving him severely wounded.
• Mu Chen raised his sword for a second strike, but the terrified blond man fled the ring before it could land.
• Mu Chen returned to Gu Chenfeng and Panyue, accepted their help, and told Gu Chenfeng to handle the next match.

• After Panyue narrowly lost, Mu Chen unleashed his full strength against the blond burly man, then bluffed him into retreating despite worsening his injuries.
• Li Xuanting entered the arena, and Mu Chen warned Gu Chenfeng that the Infinite Sword Sect elder was a formidable swordsman.

• Gu Chenfeng used the Great Wilderness Star-Shattering Seal and his protective Nirvana astral qi to withstand Li Xuanting’s first strike unharmed.
• Li Xuanting acknowledged Gu Chenfeng as a worthy opponent and launched his second strike, Raging Tide, as a dragon-shaped blade of sword astral qi.

• Gu Chenfeng countered Li Xuanting’s second strike with Great Wilderness Annihilation and survived the lightning assault using his Profound Yellow Qi Armor.
• Li Xuanting unleashed his third strike, Heaven’s Punishment, and Gu Chenfeng met it with Heaven’s Mandate Nine Strikes; both fighters were blasted from the ring-shaped space.

After Cold Heaven Venerable regretted abandoning Star Luo Hall, Gu Chenfeng learned that Yao Sheng and Jade Void True Person had supported him because of his ties to the Dragon Emperor and Jade Void True Person’s junior sister.

• Gu Chenfeng reflected on his new responsibilities and realized his Adjudicator status could help him find the pill ingredients.
• Gu Chenfeng asked Wen Yan to use the alliance’s channels to collect materials from the Human and Demon Races, while Wen Yan hoped to gain his favor.
• Gu Chenfeng visited powerful figures from both races and bought or traded for many rare spiritual materials.
• Gu Chenfeng gathered nearly half the supplementary ingredients but made no progress finding the two remaining main ingredients.
• The Heavenly Fox Clan patriarch arrived to visit Gu Chenfeng, who went out to welcome the fellow Adjudicator.

Bai Miaoyin offered Gu Chenfeng ancient spiritual materials and invited him to join the Heavenly Fox Clan in exploring a dangerous battlefield from the war against the Soul Devouring Beasts.

• Bai Miaoyin asked Gu Chenfeng to help the Heavenly Fox Clan explore the battlefield.

• Gu Chenfeng took out the Heavenly Fox Token and sent Bai Miaoyin a message.

Gu Chenfeng traveled to the Demon Race's territory to join Bai Miaoyin's search for the Ancient Battlefield and met their other helper, Master Yichan. The three set out for the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe's rendezvous point, leaving Yichan grateful to Gu Chenfeng for a pill formula to treat his kidney deficiency.

• Gu Chenfeng prepared to leave the Four Symbols Divine Sect, keeping Tongtong in the Barbarian God Secret Realm, and traveled alone toward the Demon Race's territory.
• Gu Chenfeng met Bai Miaoyin in a miasma-shrouded valley, where she explained that she had invited another helper to face the Ancient Battlefield's Yin Baleful Qi.
• Master Yichan of the Immovable Wisdom King Valley arrived, and Bai Miaoyin introduced him to Gu Chenfeng as their second helper.
• Yichan told Gu Chenfeng that he practiced Joyful Zen and had agreed to help Bai Miaoyin in exchange for fox-clan maidens to practice with.
• Yichan asked Gu Chenfeng for advice about his fatigue and other symptoms, and Gu Chenfeng gave him a kidney-nourishing pill formula and urged moderation.
• Bai Miaoyin, Gu Chenfeng, and Yichan traveled together toward the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe's rendezvous point.

• After waiting seven or eight days, Gu Chenfeng, Yichan, Bai Miaoyin, Yuan Liekong, and the other two experts teleported to the hidden battlefield entrance.
• Bai Miaoyin and Yuan Liekong ordered their people to seal the passage's aura, then led the group to a cracked barrier concealing the Ancient Battlefield.
• Yuan Liekong used a purple-gold talisman to suppress the barrier, and Bai Miaoyin used a horn to tear open a passage through it.
• Yuan Liekong led the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe experts inside, and Bai Miaoyin followed with Gu Chenfeng and Yichan.

As the group prepared to break the seal, Gu Chenfeng recognized something familiar about its runes.

• Gu Chenfeng, Yichan, and Bai Miaoyin entered the battlefield and pushed through its dangerous gray mist, where Yichan destroyed a resentful spirit that attacked them.
• Gu Chenfeng and Yichan warded off resentful spirits while Bai Miaoyin searched for treasures, though Gu Chenfeng found few materials for the Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill.
• The group reached the battlefield’s Core Region, where the worsening attacks and yin baleful qi forced Yichan to take a pill for warmth.

• Gu Chenfeng agreed to help and felt that the blood-red seal on the stone wall was familiar.

• Bai Miaoyin and Yuan Liekong channeled their clans' secret arts into the Jade Ruyi and Mountain Pagoda, drawing the vengeful souls into a furious attack.
• Yuan Liekong and the other Mountain-Moving Demon Ape Tribe members resisted the assault while Gu Chenfeng and Yichan shielded Bai Miaoyin.
