A fallen immortal emerged from the bronze sarcophagus and threatened to consume the Spirit World's strongest cultivators to restore himself. Lin Hao used their combined Dao principles to seal the immortal, then kept the sealed orb in his possession as Ling Yue thanked him.

Lin Hao arrived with the Heavenly Lord, sensed Wang Hao’s Earth Will, and detected the cultivators’ latent malice.

• The Demon-Suppressing Heavenly Lord had been visiting the Human World to deliver resources and teach its cultivators, prompting rival factions to present a united front.

Lin Hao assessed the Emperor's Mausoleum World, its cultivation system, and the dangers posed by its Life Forbidden Zones as he traveled with a caravan through the Southern Wilderness. He decided to gather equipment and information while studying the local path of cultivation, beginning with the region's ancient families.

• Lin Hao analyzed how the world's suppressive force, aura of decline, and abundant spiritual energy shaped its Three Great Secret Realms cultivation system.

Lin Hao entered Fengshuang City and learned about the Feng Family’s events and the Wang Family’s upcoming Source-Tasting Banquet, which he suspected was connected to him. He planned to investigate the city’s Origin Stones and nearby forbidden zones, then found ordinary gold could not pay for the inn’s cultivation-enhanced rooms.

• Lin Hao decided to visit the Feng Family’s convention, seek a guide to nearby forbidden zones, and acquire Immortal Artifact-grade equipment before the banquet.
• Lin Hao tried to rent a top-grade inn courtyard with gold, but the attendant said its Source-Gathering Formation required an Origin Stone, so Lin Hao asked for a clean ordinary room instead.

Lin Hao sold a spear for origin crystals and sought a guide to the Barren Sand Territory, where he discovered that the former expert Yu Jiang was suffering from its aura of decay. After Lin Hao removed some of the affliction, Yu Jiang agreed to assist him if he could be healed.

Lin Hao suppressed several Remnant Immortals in the Life Forbidden Zone, but his battle with a powerful awakened Remnant Immortal tore open the Netherwind and exposed a clash visible across the Southern Wilderness. The major powers watched in alarm, uncertain whether the battle meant a change in the forbidden zone or the start of a dark upheaval.

• Lin Hao suppressed a Remnant Immortal, took its decayed Soul-Seizing Scythe, and hurried toward another target with Yu Jiang.
• Liu Boss turned his treasure-hunting party back as the Netherwind worsened, but the gale swept away two of its weakest members before abruptly clearing the sky.

After sleeping with Yang Jie, Lin Hao persuaded the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s master to take him to the Wang Family’s Source-Tasting Banquet so he could learn about changes in the Life Forbidden Zone. At the banquet, he spotted an Origin Stone containing a powerful immortal presence and convinced Yang Jie to lend him money to buy it.
