At the Jianjiang Estuary, Chen Beiwu began a deliberately meager Dragon King Sacrifice while Li Jin and Guangyu feared the dragon's response.

• The governor asked Five Tigers True Lord Li Hu to help drive the dragon from Jianjiang Estuary, but Li Hu warned that provoking it could bring more floods and urged the governor to seek aid from above.

• Chen Beiwu prepared a Dragon King Sacrifice at Jianjiang Estuary using ordinary grains and common sacrificial animals, alarming Li Jin and Guangyu.

Chen Beiwu publicly denounced the Jianjiangkou Evil Dragon and announced that the Three Aspects Dragon King would take its place, while Shen Yuxia gave him a Deification Order and offered to verify the dragon’s identity. Golden Egg attacked the Marshwater Chi Dragon in its lair, seized its Water-Type Dragon Pearl, and left it stunned by his strength.

• Golden Egg suddenly attacked the Marshwater Chi Dragon, snatched the dragon pearl, and shattered the demon’s fangs against his scales.

• Chen Beiwu brought Golden Egg back to the Immortal Alliance, where Golden Egg completed his tribulations and attained the Dao as a Demon Venerable.
• Fang Jin awakened from his stone statue, recognized Golden Egg as an Orthodox Dragon King, and decided against attacking him because of the Earth Church and Shen Yuxia.
• Fang Jin had the prefectural seat issue a decree to Guan County.

Chen Beiwu examined Golden Egg’s transformation after it attained Demon Venerable, discovering that its bloodline had absorbed the Jianjiang Estuary and granted it powerful Dragon King abilities. Shen Yuxia arrived and asked whether Golden Egg wanted the Wu River Dragon King Position, revealing that the missing Dragon King and rebellious aquatic clans had created an opening.

• Chen Beiwu discovered that Golden Egg’s bloodline true form contained the Jianjiang Estuary and that its new affinity increased his cultivation speed near the river.

• Shen Yuxia said she wanted to help Golden Egg and asked whether it had heard of Purple Palace True Venerable.

Shen Yuxia asked Golden Egg to help locate the Zique Pearl in Purple Palace True Venerable's cave abode, but Chen Beiwu urged caution. After Chen Beiwu rejected an unofficial order to escort Golden Egg for investiture, Chaoxi Prefecture Governor Fang Jin decided to spread rumors tying Chen Zi'ang to the cave abode.

• Chen Beiwu warned that replacing the missing Wu River Dragon King would expose Golden Egg to the Four Great Aquatic Clans, and suggested they could search for the cave abode without taking the throne.
• Provincial Secretary Zuo Yuping ordered Chen Zi'ang to escort Golden Egg to Chaoxi for investiture, but Chen Beiwu rejected the proclamation because it lacked the required seals.
• Chen Beiwu suspected the Chaoxi Prefecture Provincial Governor wanted to recruit or eliminate Golden Egg, while Xuele agreed that the order was a probe.
• Fang Jin learned that Chen Zi'ang had refused his private pledge of allegiance and ordered Zuo Yuping to spread rumors that Chen Zi'ang possessed secrets of Purple Palace True Venerable's cave abode.

Princess Yinling learned Chen Zi'ang had gained the backing of a Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable and sent information about him to True Venerables Golden Sword and Silver Sword. Meanwhile, Chen Beiwu accepted the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven’s arrangement for the Great Sen World and entered it with Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin, suspecting an Ancient Demon Cult infiltrator was involved.

• Princess Yinling dismissed the rumors about the Purple Palace Cave Abode, learned Xie Tianyi and Zhao Tiansu had vanished, and ordered intelligence about Chen Zi'ang sent to True Venerables Golden Sword and Silver Sword.
• Chen Beiwu learned Pure Yang True Venerable Li Dongbin would inherit Firecloud Palace’s Dao lineage, while Chen Beiwu and Lunar True Venerable Gu Qinghan would each refine the Great Sen World Origin and receive a Heavenly Yang Pill.
• Yuyue Guardian examined the Transmigration Wheel and returned it to Chen Beiwu, deciding his potential to comprehend the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Great Dao remained worth cultivating.

• Chen Beiwu entered the Great Sen World after Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin, resolving to stay within territory under the Immortal Alliance’s rule.

Chen Beiwu chose the Ten-Thousand Forest Rift as the site where Xuele would refine the Great Sen World's origin, despite the presence of Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin. When their companion beasts overwhelmed Xuele’s efforts, Chen Beiwu unleashed Nine-Breath Chaos and empowered Xuele, whose Taiyi Sword Vine phantom seized more than half the origin in the sky.

• Chen Beiwu arrived in the Great Sen World with Xuele and Golden Egg, learned about the prepared refinement sites, and chose the Ten-Thousand Forest Rift after divination indicated it was the right choice.
• Zhao Ting led Chen Beiwu to the rift, where Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin were also staying as they sought to refine the world's origin.

• Li Dongbin's Mysterious Altar Yang Lord and Gu Qinghan's jade rabbit drew in the world's origin and contested its flow, leaving Xuele struggling to maintain its share.
• Chen Beiwu released some of Nine-Breath Chaos and empowered Xuele with Primordial Origin True Beast, allowing its Taiyi Sword Vine phantom to overpower the other manifestations and seize more than half the world's origin.

Chen Beiwu, Gu Qinghan, and Li Dongbin reached Firecloud Palace's core and found an ancient Pill Cauldron that might conceal a Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator. After Gu Qinghan defeated Li Dongbin but failed to open the cauldron, Chen Beiwu approached it and sensed danger.

• Xuele refined four strands of the Great Sen World's Origin, reached 19,999 years of Dao Practice, and awakened the Taiyi True Understanding Profound Ability.

• Chen Beiwu yielded the first chance to investigate the cauldron, and Gu Qinghan defeated Li Dongbin in a three-day clash of their Heaven and Earth Manifestations.
• Gu Qinghan tried and failed to affect the Pill Cauldron, then Li Dongbin tried and failed to awaken it or claim Firecloud Palace's Dao Lineage.
• Chen Beiwu stepped up to the Pill Cauldron and sensed a warning from his Purple-Gold Canopy Status.

Chen Beiwu, Gu Qinghan, and Li Dongbin began Firecloud Palace’s inheritance trials under the watch of Firecloud True Venerable, though Chen Beiwu remained wary of the half-crippled cultivator and the trials. After Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin completed the second trial, Chen Beiwu discovered that their Fortune had turned ominous and suspected the trials were dangerous.

• Chen Beiwu cautiously touched the Pill Cauldron, which trembled and revealed the Red-Robed Cultivator, who admitted he was preserving himself with the Old Abode Method.
• Firecloud True Venerable offered the three cultivators a chance to inherit Firecloud Palace’s Dao Lineage through three trials, and Chen Beiwu joined Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin after the Purple-Gold Canopy warned him against leaving.

• Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin entered the cauldron and endured Fire Cloud Tempering for eighty-one days, while Chen Beiwu withdrew after two hours.
• Chen Beiwu sensed that Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin’s Fortune had become shrouded in Calamity Qi and suspected that all three trials were dangerous.

Firecloud True Venerable used the final inheritance trial to entrap Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin, then attacked them separately while offering each a Firecloud Pearl. Chen Beiwu rejected the same bait and prepared to defend himself, but held back after detecting three powerful Fortunes nearby.

• Firecloud True Venerable gave the three cultivators six months to comprehend either of two supreme Dao arts, and Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin passed while Chen Beiwu deliberately concealed his abilities.
• Firecloud True Venerable transported Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin away for separate duels and offered Chen Beiwu the Firecloud Pearl as an inheritance treasure.
• Gu Qinghan received a warning from her wrist ornament, rejected Firecloud True Venerable's claims that the Immortal Alliance had abandoned them, and was engulfed by his attack.

• Chen Beiwu shattered the Firecloud Pearl, and Firecloud True Venerable admitted that he had deceived the Immortal Alliance experts and refused to release him.
• Chen Beiwu placed Golden Egg and Xuele before himself and instructed them to hold back while he observed three terrifying Fortunes nearby.

True Venerable Chongyang, Moon-Plucking True Venerable, and Evergreen True Venerable watched Chen Beiwu’s trial and debated how long he could withstand Firecloud True Venerable. Chen Beiwu and his companion beasts survived Firecloud True Venerable’s attacks, and Chen Beiwu prepared to test a powerful sword strike against him.

• Evergreen True Venerable said he had not yet broken through to Void Refinement, and the three Venerables discussed which disciple would earn Firecloud True Venerable’s Dao lineage.
• Moon-Plucking True Venerable and Evergreen True Venerable disagreed over whether Chen Beiwu could endure ten or a hundred exchanges against Firecloud True Venerable.
• Firecloud True Venerable ignited the Fire-Origin Cloud Flame inside Chen Beiwu, but Xuele used the Taiyi Sword Lock and Fivefold Steam Reversal to weaken the flames while Golden Egg attacked.
• Golden Egg and Xuele combined their abilities to restrain Firecloud True Venerable, but he countered Golden Egg’s Pivot-Settling Origin Water with crimson flame and broke their control.
• Chen Beiwu decided to conserve his companions’ hidden strength and challenged Firecloud True Venerable to receive one sword strike.

Chen Beiwu defeated Firecloud True Venerable with Taiyi Heaven-Cutting and was chosen to inherit Firecloud Palace’s Dao lineage. Exploring the Fire Palace Lamp, he encountered a mysterious divine statue that revealed three terrifying Ancient God arts.

• Chen Beiwu wielded Xuele as the Taiyi Heaven-Cutting Sword and struck Firecloud True Venerable, leaving a lasting sword mark despite the elder recovering.

• Inside the Fire Cloud Cauldron, Chen Beiwu found the flames parting before him while Iron Egg tried to devour them.
• Chen Beiwu sensed danger in the Fire Palace Lamp, then saw a faceless divine statue whose fortune revealed the names of three Orthodox-Origin Ancient God arts.

Evergreen used a Dao Venerable Edict to break the statue’s influence and pursued the fleeing traitors.

• Chen Beiwu discarded the Fire Palace Lamp and resisted the three sinister cultivation methods as Golden Egg and Xuele tried to steady his divine sense.
• After his Nine Fortunes, Three Origins fortune dissipated, Chen Beiwu saw the bloodlight vanish and comprehended the Primordial Oceanic Chaos Great Cavern God-Certification Method, which could extract Great Dao origins and restore Great Dao statuses.
• Firecloud True Venerable admitted that he had joined the Ancient God Cult, and True Venerable Yuantian appeared to preside over a ritual sacrificing the Great Sen World and its cultivators.
• Evergreen True Venerable discovered the ancient god statue inside the Fire Cloud Cauldron and Chen Beiwu’s peril, then invoked a Dao Venerable Edict that cracked True Venerable Yuantian’s statue.
• True Venerable Yuantian and Firecloud True Venerable retreated, but Evergreen True Venerable pursued them with a world-shaking dragon shadow.

Evergreen True Venerable unleashed the Ten-Thousand-Heavens Azure Dragon against True Venerable Yuantian, who escaped by sacrificing Firecloud True Venerable and abandoning an Ancient Demon Cult stronghold. Meanwhile, Chen Beiwu gained initial mastery of an Ancient God cultivation method, transformed his Nascent Soul, and found a path toward Spirit Transformation.

• Evergreen True Venerable summoned the Ten-Thousand-Heavens Azure Dragon and fought True Venerable Yuantian, devastating the Great Sen World, but Yuantian escaped with Firecloud True Venerable.
• True Venerable Yuantian killed Firecloud True Venerable and used the Ancient Demon Cult stronghold to distract Evergreen True Venerable, who destroyed the Small Thousand World and its stationed cult experts.
• Evergreen True Venerable and the other magnates warned Gu Qinghan and Li Dongbin about the Ancient Demon Cult methods they had encountered, and True Venerable Chongyang sealed Li Dongbin's memory of one method.
• Chen Beiwu used the Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus to clear his mind as he studied the Hunyun Ming Hunmang Great Cavern God-Proving Method, then transformed his Nascent Soul and gained initial mastery of the art.
• Chen Beiwu realized that he could unite his Great Daos and pursue his own path to True Venerable, leaving him confident that Spirit Transformation no longer posed an obstacle.

Chen Beiwu returned from the Great Sen World and began seclusion at Huncheng Peak to attempt Spirit Transformation, completing the first two trials with help from Golden Egg and Xuele. As his Spirit Transformation tribulation began, the Violet Firmament Venerable and the Guardians identified it as the fearsome three thousand tribulations, leaving Chen Beiwu’s fate uncertain.

• Chen Beiwu helped restore the Great Sen World’s dragon veins for ten years before returning to the Immortal Alliance and requesting permission to attempt Spirit Transformation.
• The Violet Firmament Venerable approved Chen Beiwu’s breakthrough and provided him with a jade slip of Spirit Transformation insights, while Huncheng Peak was sealed off during his seclusion.

• Qinghe explained that only the three founders of the Three Purities Grotto-Heavens had passed all three thousand tribulations, then pointed toward Great Luo Heaven when asked whether anyone else had passed two thousand.

Chen Beiwu awakened from the mortal world thousand calamities with help from Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xuele, Zhiling, and Aji, then entered the transmigration thousand calamities and struggled to overcome a death tribulation. After ninety years, observers believed he had failed, but he passed the Spirit Transformation Tribulation, chose the Space-Time Great Dao, and unleashed a light that reversed time and rewrote reality.

• Chen Beiwu regained his identity as a statue when Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xuele, Zhiling, and Aji appeared around him, then shattered the illusion and transcended the mortal world thousand calamities.
• Chen Beiwu entered the transmigration thousand calamities, died while a Spirit Transformation Late-Stage woman drained his cultivation, and realized he had to see through each death tribulation before advancing.
• Violet Firmament Venerable and Yuyue Guardian watched the phenomenon above Huncheng Peak for ninety years before blood-red clouds suggested Chen Beiwu had failed.
• Chen Beiwu unexpectedly passed the Spirit Transformation Tribulation and began forging his Heaven and Earth Manifestation through the Space-Time Great Dao.
• Violet Firmament Venerable revealed that Chen Beiwu was attempting the transmigration thousand calamities again, and a white pillar of light from Huncheng Peak reversed time and rewrote reality.

After 296 years of secluded cultivation, Chen Beiwu opened the unprecedented Pure Source Great Dao and attained Spirit Transformation late-stage True Venerable, though he failed to pass the Dao-bearing tribulation. The Jade Purity Immortal Sect's powerful cultivators sensed his breakthrough and speculated about the potential of his new Dao and the Dharma image he would forge.

• Chen Beiwu endured the Three Thousand Tribulations, overcame the mortal world and transmigration thousand calamities, and opened his own Great Dao with help from Iron Egg, Zhiling, and Aji.

Chen Beiwu completed his breakthrough to Spirit Transformation Late-Stage, revealed his Clear Source Dharma Image, and chose the honorific Clear Source Wondrous Dao True Venerable. Great Vast True Venerable challenged him to a Dao spar, which began in Profound Subtlety Peak’s Star River formation.

• Chen Beiwu examined his new Dharma Form Yuanzheng, True Venerable body, and Heaven and Earth Manifestation, then sent his Companion Beasts away to refine the power of their contracts.
• Spirit Transformation Venerables arrived to congratulate Chen Beiwu, and he invited Violet Firmament Venerable, Qinghe, Yuyue, Great Vast True Venerable, and Profound Subtlety True Venerable into his cave abode.

• Profound Subtlety True Venerable brought them to a Star River battlefield at Mind-Calming Residence, where Great Vast True Venerable unleashed his Spirit Transformation might and Chen Beiwu stood unmoved.

Chen Beiwu defeated Great Vast True Venerable in a sparring match, using Rectify the Source and Clarify the Origin to unravel his opponent’s Heaven and Earth Manifestation. The gathering was left wondering about the limits of Chen Beiwu’s Pure Source Great Dao, which he declined to explain.

• Great Vast True Venerable asked whether the Pure Source Great Dao could imitate or destroy other Daos, but Chen Beiwu denied it and concealed its core ability.

After Chen Beiwu became a Spirit Transformation Late-Stage True Venerable, Violet Firmament Venerable appointed him chief of the Divine Excursion Department and explained the power of its Heaven-Probing Disk and Realm-Setting Instrument. Chen Beiwu learned he ranked third on the Jade Purity Golden Register, while the second-ranked Yin Zhengyuan revealed his formidable bloodline research and chose to avoid getting involved with him.

• Violet Firmament Venerable discussed Chen Beiwu’s Spirit Transformation ceremony and offered him the vacant post of Divine Excursion Department Chief.
• Yuyue explained the department’s work exploring worlds, and Chen Beiwu accepted the appointment and received the Heaven-Probing Disk.

After attaining Spirit Transformation, Chen Beiwu secured new privileges in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and reconnected with family and old acquaintances, while his success shifted Xiao Yan’s prospects. In the Southern Wild Region, Shu You faced a crisis when Mist Sea True Lord Lian Zimo seized her allies and confronted her.

Lin Zimo tried to seize the Mirror Moon Sect Master Seal and kill Shu You, but Heavenly Art True Venerable intervened before Chen Beiwu arrived. Chen Beiwu faced Lin Zimo and claimed Shu You could slay him, leaving Lin Zimo wondering whether Chen Beiwu had gone mad.

• Lin Zimo overwhelmed Shu You’s defenses and demanded that she acknowledge him as Mirror Moon Sect Master, but she refused to betray Chen Zi'ang.

Chen Beiwu uncovered how Lin Zimo and Blood Demon Venerable had been drawn into a plot by the Heavenly One Northern Nether Mirror, then confronted the Heavenly One True Dragon through Lin Zimo’s memories. The Dragon gave Chen Beiwu a jade to help locate One Origin True Venerable and revealed Zhu Wuya had reincarnated; Chen Beiwu resolved to seek ways to counter the artifact while keeping his late-stage cultivation hidden.

• Chen Beiwu killed Blood Demon Venerable, preserved a trace of his Primordial Spirit, and searched it and Lin Zimo’s Nascent Soul for clues.

• Chen Beiwu sealed the jade, promised to teach Shu You and the others the Great Dao of the Nascent Soul, and decided to return to the Immortal Alliance to seek means of countering Primordial Chaos Dao Artifacts.

The Heavenly One True Dragon weighed the danger Chen Zi'ang posed and resolved to use him as a pawn while keeping the option to reverse-refine his cultivation. At the Jade Purity Treasury, Chen Beiwu sought a way to master Primordial Chaos Dao Artifacts and followed Yuyue Guardian toward the Thirty-Three Heavens Sea-Calming Pearl, but a silver slingshot caught his attention.

• The Heavenly One True Dragon considered capturing Chen Zi'ang, then decided to wait because Chen Zi'ang might help him seize the origins of other Primordial Chaos Dao Artifacts.

• Chen Beiwu reached the treasury's fourth floor and noticed an unremarkable silver slingshot whose nature seemed extraordinary.
