Li Senyi tried to bargain with the Bone-Eroding Three Fiends by revealing a hidden cave abode, but Chen Beiwu arrived and effortlessly killed two of the sisters. After learning the ruin was a hidden entrance to the Grand Void Formation Sect, Chen Beiwu considered its dangers and weighed whether to pursue it.

The Greenwood Sect and Heavy Gold Sect discussed how to respond to the Mirror Moon Sect’s newly formed Great Unity Golden Core, while cultivators from across the Earth Evolution Realm gathered for Chen Zi'ang’s Core Formation ceremony. The Eight Desolations Sect’s patriarch arrived with his Dao Child, Ning Wujiu, who challenged Chen Beiwu to a Dao-Questioning Battle.

• The Battle-Devouring Demon Ape challenged Chen Beiwu to knock it down, and Chen Beiwu accepted despite realizing the creature’s strength far exceeded his own.
• Iron Egg attacked the Battle-Devouring Demon Ape but was struck into the sand and emerged unharmed; the demon ape then used the Demon-Sealing Chains to suppress itself to Golden Core Perfection for the battle.

Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg sparred with the Battle-Devouring Demon Ape, whose World-Taming Heavenly Eye and flawless combat abilities overwhelmed them even after Golden Egg transformed into his Three-Realm Mystic Flood Dragon form.

• The demon ape's damage-reflecting defense and World-Taming Heavenly Eye wore Golden Egg down, while it evaded Chen Beiwu's attacks.
• Chen Beiwu proposed deciding the spar with one move, then transformed Golden Egg into a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Saber and wielded it himself.
• Chen Beiwu's slash shattered the demon ape's Four Symbols barrier, severed its crossed wrists, and split its head, though the demon ape remained standing.

Chen Beiwu fought the Battle-Devouring Demon Ape, who survived his strongest strike and promised to reveal Heavenly Evolution True Lord’s legacy and a secret if Chen Beiwu could defeat him. Back at Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Chen Beiwu received the resources needed for Iron Egg’s evolution, while news of a newly discovered world left him fearing for the Southern Wild Region.

• Chen Beiwu returned to Jade Purity Immortal Sect and learned from Su Muyu that the Immortal Alliance had discovered a new world and that Other Shore Flowers could grant great power at the risk of a devastating heart-demon calamity.
• At the sect gates, Ying Yanyan delivered the resources promised by the Sect Master, and Chen Beiwu found that they included everything needed for Iron Egg’s evolution.

Chen Beiwu brought Iron Egg to Meltheart Lake on Mingyi Peak, where Iron Egg used a Five-Phase Fire-Binding Pill to attempt his breakthrough to Third-Realm Demon General. Iron Egg survived the extraordinary Yin-Yang Nirvana Fire Calamity and emerged with a powerful inner core.

• Jiang Chuan told Chen Beiwu that Meltheart Lake would soon enter its eruption period and helped him secure access to the site for Iron Egg.

• Chen Beiwu gave Iron Egg a Five-Phase Fire-Binding Pill, and Iron Egg entered the lake to begin his breakthrough while Chen Beiwu guided his cultivation with Divine Sense.
• Iron Egg formed an inner core in three days, triggering the Yin-Yang Nirvana Fire Calamity despite his seemingly modest bloodline grade.
• Iron Egg endured the calamity, reached Third-Realm Demon General, and returned to Chen Beiwu with an inner core comparable to a second-grade Golden Core.

Chen Beiwu guided Iron Egg through a dangerous dual bloodline evolution using the Karmic-Cleansing Burning Dragon and Candlelight Radiant Lord legacies, then spent most of his Golden Core’s origin to awaken Iron Egg’s hidden potential. Iron Egg transformed into a formidable new form, and an ancient being at Forbidden Peak noticed him and judged him worthy of inheriting something.

• Iron Egg refused Chen Beiwu’s attempt to dissuade him from pursuing both evolution routes, and the Pure Marrow Spirit Eye erupted early at Meltheart Lake.
• After Iron Egg familiarized himself with his new power, Chen Beiwu formed a companion beast contract with him and sent him into the lava to begin the evolution.
• Chen Beiwu used fourth-tier resources, his scenery, and the Pure Yang Fire Mirror to help Iron Egg fuse the opposing bloodlines, but Iron Egg’s forehead eye began to split and his aura collapsed.
• Chen Beiwu fed Iron Egg a Blood-Crossing Treasure Pill and used the Primordial Origin profound ability to elevate the source of his bloodline, sacrificing two-thirds of his Golden Core’s origin.

• An ancient being at Forbidden Peak sensed Iron Egg, recognized his potential, and considered him qualified to inherit its legacy.

Iron Egg underwent a bloodline transformation at Core-Melting Lake, awakening three powerful fire profound abilities while absorbing pure marrow fluid and advancing to the late Golden Core stage. Its Great Heaven Pure Hell Aspect promised tremendous growth, but Iron Egg would need to consume numerous exotic fires or powerful beastfires before it could use it.

• Iron Egg entered a mysterious inheritance vision and absorbed the Sun-Devouring Divine Lord’s golden flames, though it could not comprehend the Crimson Radiance Nine Luminaries Sun-Devouring Nirvana Sutra.
• Back at Core-Melting Lake, Iron Egg drew in a great flow of pure marrow fluid, and Chen Beiwu stopped Yu Mingyun from claiming it; Yu Zhaohua backed Chen Beiwu’s position.
• The pure marrow fluid propelled Iron Egg through two cultivation barriers to the late Golden Core stage, and Chen Beiwu refined the resulting contract feedback without reaching Golden Core perfection.
• Iron Egg awakened Karmic Fire Heeding Sin, which sensed sin and karma and unleashed Karma-Cutting True Fire, and Candlelight Nine Prohibitions, which created a sunlit domain of nine restrictions against evil demons.
• Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg learned that Iron Egg’s Great Heaven Pure Hell Aspect was a growth-type ability requiring at least nine Heaven and Earth Exotic Fires or ninety-nine powerful Life-Bound Beastfires before Iron Egg could use it.

Chen Beiwu discovered that Iron Egg’s evolution had granted him powerful abilities and an incomplete Jade Purity Immortal Art, then sought a Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame to help Iron Egg master Great Heaven Pure Hell Aspect. Yu Zhaohua revealed she had an exotic flame available, leaving its price or terms unresolved.

• Chen Beiwu learned that Iron Egg needed a Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame to master Great Heaven Pure Hell Aspect and promised to seek one.
• Chen Beiwu sensed Iron Egg’s hidden abilities, learned of the incomplete Crimson Radiance Nine Luminaries Sun-Devouring Nirvana Sutra, and concluded it might activate Iron Egg’s vertical eye.
• Chen Beiwu accepted Iron Egg’s choice to name his evolved race Iron Egg and found that his bloodline potential rivaled a titled Heavenly Gang Mysterious Beast.
• Chen Beiwu and Golden Egg collected eighteen jade bottles of pure marrow pulp after the Pure Marrow Spirit Eye’s gushing period ended.
• Yu Zhaohua told Chen Beiwu that a Desolate-Tier Strange Fire typically cost about twelve million Spirit Origin, and Chen Beiwu considered asking the Sect Master for one.
• Yu Zhaohua produced a Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame and told Chen Beiwu she had one available.

Chen Beiwu negotiated for two Heaven and Earth Exotic Flames, then led the Jade Purity Immortal Sect delegation to Heavenly Blaze City for the Immortal Sect Exchange Meet. There, Zhou Gaochang welcomed him and judged him to be no ordinary cultivator.

• Yu Zhaohua traded the depleted Soul-Calming Fire for 30,000 spirit origin and an agreement to spar with Chen Beiwu five times a year, and Chen Beiwu gave her his annotated cultivation method.
• Chen Beiwu put off having Iron Egg refine the Soul-Calming Fire until Iron Egg had better prepared, then Yu Zhaohua delivered the sealed Disintegration Azure Fire before his departure.
• Chen Beiwu joined Yu Zhaohua, Mo Qingshuang, Ye Xinya, and Xue Tianyi to lead the Jade Purity delegation to Heavenly Blaze Prefecture.
• At Heavenly Blaze City's airport, Zhou Gaochang welcomed the Jade Purity cultivators and was struck by Chen Beiwu's bearing.
