• Ye Chen spent twelve years strengthening the Five Elements Swordplay while continuing to cultivate Death Severance and the Burial Sword Art.

• Ye Chen refused Tu Yuan's request and left with Blazing Fire Supreme, who explained that Tu Yuan's influence had driven others to ruin.

After years of progress, he broke through and completed his Bronze Martial Dao Avatar, leaving his cultivation advancing beyond its former limits.

• Ye Chen condensed a level six Supreme Battle Avatar and tested it, judging his strength to be at the peak powerful Supreme level.
• A year later, Ye Chen patrolled the canyon alone and asked Mad Lord why he had killed his companions; Mad Lord urged him to study the black smoke if he wanted greater strength.
• Over twenty years, Ye Chen studied the black smoke and greatly advanced his Martial Dao Avatar, while Mad Lord warned that the practice could cause his physical body to decay.
• Ye Chen told Mad Lord he could avoid that fate by raising his Martial Dao Will to the ninth rank, but kept his Sword Intent-based method to himself.
• Ye Chen's Martial Dao Avatar broke through from dark cyan to bronze, and his Multitude of Manifestations surpassed its former limit as the Bronze Martial Dao Avatar was completed.
