Su Ping gained a new reflection talent and discovered that the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens could potentially advance to Legend tier. After leaving the Mirror Realm with a new cultivation method, he returned to the Paper-Folding Men and found their record ready to upgrade.

• Su Ping read the Mirror of Reflection record and learned that the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens could potentially reach Legend tier, though analyzing the requirements cost one million experience.

• Su Ping returned to the Mortuary Hall, resumed working with the Paper-Folding Men, and saw that the Paper-Folding Man Record met its upgrade requirements.

Su Ping evolved new light- and darkness-attribute Paper-Folding Men to raise the Paper-Folding Man Record to LV5. The golden Record unlocked Breeding Simulation, improved his Rapid Recovery talent into Rapid Repair, and left him stunned by its new ability.

• Su Ping reached LV4 with the Paper-Folding Man Record and found that its evolution advancement required ten distinct evolved forms, of which he had completed eight.

• Su Ping learned that Breeding Simulation could project Paper-Folding Man breeding results using Record experience points, then withdrew from the simulated space in surprise.

Su Ping unlocked Simulated Breeding and used it to test several ways of evolving the Paper-Folding Man, but repeated failures consumed most of his Record experience. He was interrupted by a call from Liu Fuhai, who said he was nearly done cultivating his Ice Fang White Wolf's Waterheart and asked where Su Ping was.

• Su Ping entered the Simulated Breeding space and created an Advanced Fire Paper-Folding Man specimen, spending 100 Record experience points.

• Su Ping brought Old Sha into an enclosure holding numerous wolf breeds and used food, resources, and their improved strength to fulfill the Myriad Spirits Codex’s requirements.
• The Snow Wolf, Sand Wolf, Thunder Wolf, and other wolf records enhanced True Eye until it upgraded to Spirit Eye.

Su Ping upgraded True Eye into Spirit Eye, gaining the ability to perceive pet ages, see through some illusions, and identify resources. He then learned from Su Anyong that Old Sha was the discarded son of a powerful Heavenly Wolf, leaving Su Ping wondering whether Old Sha’s rise made him a wolf of destiny.

• Su Ping discovered that Spirit Eye could reveal pet beasts’ ages and skills, detect illusions, and identify resources such as an Earth Origin Stone.

• Su Ping reflected on Old Sha’s background and wondered whether he was a wolf of destiny.

• Su Anyong told Su Ping that Old Sha was born to the Heavenly Wolf Clan but avoided its brutal succession struggles after the Azure Cliff Heavenly Wolf King’s heir was left behind.

Su Ping visited the newly opened Dreamheart Experience Center and asked the Yao Sage for help testing an outrageous new evolution method for the Rainbow Coral Polyp. The Yao Sage agreed to bring his blue dragon, and Su Ping revealed that it would need to eat the polyp.

• Su Ping discovered the Rainbow Coral Polyp’s evolution method and decided to test it with help from someone who had a water dragon.

• The Yao Sage agreed to accompany Su Ping, and Su Ping explained that the dragon needed to eat the Rainbow Coral Polyp.

Su Ping prepared a Rainbow Coral Polyp for evolution and had Yao Sage's Water Dragon, Shangshan, swallow it. After explaining his theory for preserving the polyp's traits while introducing a trace of dragon aura, Su Ping and Yao Sage watched Shangshan spit out the polyp amid signs of evolution.

• Yao Sage summoned his Water Dragon, Shangshan, at Su Ping's request.
• Su Ping used a Luminous Star and prepared food to form the Rainbow Coral Polyp into a coral egg.
• Su Ping instructed Shangshan to swallow the coral egg without chewing or digesting it, and Shangshan obeyed.
• Su Ping explained that the polyp should evolve by cocooning, using Light Element resources and only a small amount of dragon aura.

The Sacred Dragon brought Water Venerable’s gift, the soul of Nie Chuan’s Vast Sea Whale, to the Water Dragon, which planned to study the lost cultivation method All Rivers Run to the Sea with Zhu Hong. After Yao Sage reported Su Ping’s breakthrough in Rainbow Dragon research, the Sea Dragon King urged him to recruit Su Ping, and Yao Sage arranged for Shangshan to spend time with him.

Su Ping oversaw Forest Wolf breeding at Heart of Spring before Yao Sage completed the Dragon-Raising Pool beneath Waterheart to support aquatic and draconic pet beasts. Meanwhile, Shark Ji captured a Flame Venerable soul fragment and headed toward Su Ping to investigate him.

• Su Ping rode Ah Shan across the Spirit Creek River and visited Guan Lili, who was teaching the Forest Wolf Zhenzhen to eat Serrated Grass for its Thorn Wolf evolution.

• Shark Ji captured a Flame Venerable soul fragment on West Dragon Lake, then headed toward the Spirit Creek River to investigate Su Ping.

Su Ping advanced his Mental Strength and physical fitness by soaking in Waterheart’s Dragon-Raising Pool, then summoned Qianyi for training and helped it reach Commander Rank, seventh stage.

The newly revived Water Venerable, Shark Ji, demanded that Su Ping surrender Little Flame, which she believed was a fragment of Flame Venerable’s soul. Su Ping and the pets of the Heart of Myriad Spirits resisted her, and Qianyi appeared to awaken Sword Intent as Shark Ji attacked.

• Shark Ji immobilized Su Ping, examined Qianyi, and demanded Little Flame, while Su Ping recognized her as the Water Venerable.

• Qianyi drew on the Five Elements’ power, declared his resolve to protect his companions, and released a ringing sword cry that made Su Ping suspect he had awakened Sword Intent.

Su Ping learned that Shark Ji was Water Venerable’s External Incarnation, sent to seek his help in becoming independent, and the Sacred Dragon Legend asked him to investigate the skill while allowing him to keep Little Flame. After Qianyi began fusing his sword abilities into a Super-Rank Skill, Su Ping used a Mind Essence Jade to speed up the process.

Su Ping learned that Qianyi could fight at full strength in the Professional Assessment, where its Paper-Folding Man evolution could be revealed to the public and the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body might be evaluated as a Hall-level skill. Qin Erlong warned that Qianyi’s need to build up its cycle could make it vulnerable in the Imperial City’s one-on-one final, and Su Ping began preparing for the Jianghai preliminary test in seven days.
