• Xu Changxing judged that the Creation Golden Lotus Pill would offer a poor foundation, while his understanding of the Way of Time, the Way of Space, and other Great Daos remained too shallow for an easy breakthrough.

Xu Changxing watched a simulation in which years of studying the Great Dao brought little progress in Time or Space, while repeated exposure to tribulation lightning strengthened his grasp of the Way of Thunder. After learning of his friend’s fate and reconsidering the Moonflower Sect’s mission, he chose to pursue the Way of Space instead.

Xu Changxing gained a glimpse of the Way of Space from dangerous experiences in a simulation and chose a cultivation reward that brought him to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Ninth Layer.

• Bu Yufeng learned that Xu Changxing had advanced another minor stage during his prolonged seclusion.
• Xu Changxing urged Bu Yufeng to reclaim Seven Star Island's lost Small Worlds, and Bu Yufeng suggested beginning with those held by Rogue Cultivators.

After the sects around Seven Star Island praised their victory and Bu Yufeng delivered the spoils, Xu Changxing used his new immortal essence stones to begin a special simulation in search of a place to comprehend the Great Dao laws.

• Xu Changxing told Bu Yufeng that he had reached the Heavenly Immortal ninth layer, and Bu Yufeng assumed he was a reincarnated Golden Immortal.
• Bu Yufeng became convinced that Xu Changxing had sacrificed his past-life memories to help him, then went to handle the spoils from Xuanqiu Valley and Hundred Calamities Valley.

• Months later, Bu Yufeng gave Xu Changxing the spoils, and Xu Changxing took all three hundred-plus upper-grade immortal essence stones.
• Xu Changxing deposited two hundred and fifty-six upper-grade immortal essence stones into the system and began a special simulation to search the Tianyan Sect Illusion for a place to comprehend the Great Dao laws.

Xu Changxing learned about the Tianyan Sect’s three places for comprehending the Great Dao and chose to pursue the dangerous Abyssal Gate, which required many sect points and a Golden Immortal’s assessment. He spent the simulation refining Ageless Golden Cores to earn contributions, then paused to recover when his success rate declined.

• Xu Changxing learned from Daoist Wuchen about the forbidden-ground illusion, Star-Viewing Platform, and Abyssal Gate, along with their requirements and dangers.
• Xu Changxing decided to seek comprehension at the Abyssal Gate and took sect assignments to accumulate contributions.
• An elder encouraged Xu Changxing to refine Ageless Golden Cores, and Xu Changxing agreed to study the pill.
• Xu Changxing raised his Ageless Golden Core success rate to thirty percent by year forty-nine and forty percent by year eighty-eight, earning sect points more quickly.
• Xu Changxing’s success rate later declined, so he took several decades to restore his condition before returning to pill refining.

After the simulation ended in Xu Changxing’s death, he reviewed its scenes and learned about refining Ageless Golden Cores and the Way of the Stars.

As he tried to study the Immortal Sacred Body Pill process in the Tianyan Pearl’s projection, the projection began flickering and the scenes blurred.

• Xu Changxing drew astral power into his body with a Star-Attracting Grand Array and broke through his flesh realm, then gathered upper-grade immortal essence stones for another special simulation.
• In the simulation, Xu Changxing joined the Tianyan Sect’s pill-refining assignments, impressed High Person Sanshou, and became his disciple.
• High Person Sanshou gave Xu Changxing the Immortal Sacred Body Pill recipe, and Xu refined pills to advance his flesh realm to the Heavenly Immortal Seventh Layer.
• Xu Changxing paused the simulation and activated the Tianyan Pearl’s projection to review his Immortal Sacred Body Pill refining scenes.
• The Tianyan Pearl’s projection flickered violently, and the scenes Xu Changxing was viewing began to blur.

Xu Changxing completed a special simulation that raised his flesh realm from the Heavenly Immortal First Stage to the Heavenly Immortal Seventh Layer, then claimed the reward. After pausing the energy influx to stabilize his rapid advancement, he resumed it and finished consolidating his stronger body and increased combat power.

• Xu Changxing memorized the Immortal Saint Body Pill recipe, resumed the simulation, and died in Year 701 from a Heaven-Shrouding Finger.
