Arc 19The Eye and the Abyss
Xu Changxing explored the Eye of the Great Dao, built up the Grotto-Heaven at the Bottom of the Abyss, and tried to prepare for the Final Tribulation while navigating conflict with the Myriad Immortals Alliance. The Alliance attacked the Tianyan Sect while Xu Changxing was away, leaving both sides depleted and at war, with the sect’s prisoners still held.
- Xu Changxing suppressed the Myriad Immortals Alliance’s Immortal Monarchs and secured its oath of reconciliation and one million Origin Crystals.
- Xu Changxing used simulations to explore the Eye of the Great Dao with Jiang Yao and expand the Grotto-Heaven, while keeping Jiang Yao’s origins secret from the Alliance.
- Xu Changxing entered the Eye of the Great Dao and studied its shifting laws, discovering a small world where he secretly watched the anomalous disciple Wuyou.
- Xu Changxing guided Wuyou to ascension, then returned to the Immortal Realm and helped Li Changge expand the Grotto-Heaven to a hundred thousand li.
- Xu Changxing recruited Daoist Tianlu and other immortals to defend the Grotto-Heaven as demonic beasts poured in, while the Alliance awakened more Half-Step Immortal Venerables.
- Xu Changxing’s simulation showed that killing Immortal Lord Zihao could hasten the Final Tribulation, so he explored a cautious settlement with the Alliance before entering the Eye with Jiang Yao.
- Xu Changxing returned from the Eye to find the Tianyan Sect in ruins, learned the Alliance had imprisoned its disciples in a Small World, and ambushed the Alliance’s expedition in the Abyss.
- Xu Changxing killed Immortal Lord Zihao and defeated the Alliance’s reinforcements, but both sides were left depleted and the Tianyan Sect and Alliance declared war over the prisoners.
