Later, the narrator treated Tianlu’s shattered Great Dao of Slaughter with specially refined pills, then secured Fairy Qiongyin’s agreement to arrange further contemplation of the Great Dao of Music.

• Xu Changxing watched the Immortal Music Pavilion scenes in detail before skimming through scenes of studying Immortal Pills.

Xu Changxing finished watching the simulation, advanced in the Space Great Dao, and integrated more than ten Great Daos into the Way of Music. He realized the simulated Immortal Music Sword might be a special treasure, then turned to the problem of earning the sixty-four Origin Crystals required for his next simulation.

• Xu Changxing spent more than two hundred years watching the simulation and gained enough insight to open the door to the Way of Music and advance in the Space Great Dao.

• Xu Changxing found himself without Origin Crystals and considered Fairy Qiongyin's Storage Ring as a possible source of wealth.
• Xu Changxing dismissed the idea of approaching Fairy Qiongyin through music and thought robbing her would be more straightforward.

Xu Changxing sought a faster way to obtain origin crystals and decided to investigate demonic cultivators, but returned to Seven Star Island first to learn why Bu Yufeng's breakthrough had gone unreported. He found Bu Yufeng cultivating at the Heavenly Immortal sixth stage, discovered Li Changge had left, and went to the Pill Workshop to ask about the island's changes.

Xu Changxing left with the coordinates of the Small Worlds, giving Ke Xingrong Immortal Pills before departing.

• Xu Changxing surprised Ke Xingrong in the Pill Workshop, then asked about Li Changge's whereabouts.
• Ke Xingrong explained that Li Changge had been fighting Heavenly Demons in several Small Worlds and had not returned to Seven Star Island for hundreds of years.
• Ke Xingrong said Bu Yufeng had joined Li Changge at first but was severely wounded and had gone into seclusion.

• Xu Changxing gave Ke Xingrong a Storage Ring containing Immortal Pills, instructing him to keep some and give most to Bu Yufeng, then left.
• Ke Xingrong discovered hundreds of supreme-grade Immortal Pills and three exquisitely sealed jade bottles in the Storage Ring.

Xu Changxing entered a hidden Small World to find Li Changge, but lost his trail and began searching the Demonic Gates for clues. He identified a damaged sect marked by Li Changge’s presence, leaving his search focused there.

• Ke Xingrong opened a jade bottle, recognized its pill as an Ageless Golden Core, and wondered how to take twenty percent of the three pills.
• Xu Changxing reached the concealed Small World entrance and slipped inside without alerting its True Demon guards.
• Xu Changxing found traces of Li Changge in a devastated valley and followed them, but Li Changge’s concealed aura and faded Great Dao fluctuations stopped him from tracking further.
• Xu Changxing searched the Small World’s many Demonic Gates for clues and singled out a damaged sect where Li Changge’s traces remained throughout the grounds.

• Xu Changxing found that the Demonic Gate had six Heavenly Demons and that its Ninth-Layer Heavenly Demon sect master still bore a Sword Dao wound from Li Changge.
• Xu Changxing listened to two True Demons discuss Li Changge’s attacks, the sect master’s worsening injuries, and the patriarchs’ plan to fight him with the Demonic Gate’s grand formation.

• Xu Changxing sensed the strength of Li Changge’s Sword Intent and spread his Divine Sense across the Small World.

• Li Changge broke through the Soulfall Sect’s protective formation and quickly wounded the sect master and several Heavenly Demons.
• Yan Wusheng ordered a middle-aged man to wait before activating the grand formation, then forced him to obey by inflicting agonizing pain.
• After Yan Wusheng gave him a Soul Pearl, the middle-aged man activated the formation, causing soul mist to tremble around it.
• The Soulfall Sect master drew on the Great Dao’s power, transformed the slain Heavenly Demons into resentful ghosts, and pushed Li Changge onto the defensive.
• Xu Changxing traced the power to Yan Wusheng in a distant valley and concluded that the aging Profound Demon planned to possess Li Changge.

Xu Changxing recognized that the enemy fighting Li Changge was the Profound Demon Yan Wusheng, who planned to possess him, and decided not to interfere. Yan Wusheng launched an early possession, but Li Changge cut through his restraints and soul attacks; the chapter ended as Yan Wusheng dissolved his own body, unleashing a storm of Great Dao laws around Li Changge.

• Xu Changxing realized Yan Wusheng had been fighting Li Changge to prepare for possessing his body, but decided that absorbing the Profound Demon's soul might cost Li Changge too much time and dilute his Sword Dao talent.
• Yan Wusheng felt the same dread that had preceded a near-fatal trap and abruptly began possessing Li Changge, using the Soulfall Sect master's body and soul to bind him.
• Li Changge cut through Yan Wusheng's blood net and then cleaved apart the soul power infused with Soul Dao Laws.
• Yan Wusheng realized the feared being had not appeared and dissolved his own body into blood, triggering a Great Dao storm throughout the Small World as Li Changge stood at its center with his Sword Intent soaring.

Xu Changxing’s zither music trapped Yan Wusheng’s remnant soul and revealed his overwhelming mastery of the Great Dao, driving Yan Wusheng to destroy himself and the Small World. Li Changge was stunned by his junior brother’s appearance, while Xu Changxing worried that the collapsing world would harm his fortune and ruin his image.

• Xu Changxing silently panicked over Yan Wusheng’s self-destruction and worried that fleeing the collapsing Small World would ruin his image and affect his fortune.

Xu Changxing stopped Yan Wusheng’s collapsing Small World by secretly using the Space Great Dao and the Way of Destruction, then reunited with Li Changge. He claimed to be only a Golden Immortal Second Layer, leaving Li Changge unconvinced by the explanation.

• Xu Changxing used his music to stabilize the Small World’s Great Daos, but Yan Wusheng’s remnant soul revealed that the Space Great Dao was still distorted.
• Xu Changxing secretly invoked the Space Great Dao to restore the Small World, then used the Way of Destruction to erase Yan Wusheng’s remnant soul and thoughts.

• Li Changge asked Xu Changxing what realm he had reached, and Xu Changxing claimed he was only a Golden Immortal Second Layer.
• Li Changge doubted Xu Changxing’s explanation but accepted it, and Xu Changxing praised his progress as a Sword Cultivator.

• A middle-aged man gave Xu Changxing the Storage Rings he had collected from the valley, but they contained no Origin Crystals.
• Xu Changxing retrieved the Storage Ring at the final location and found another twelve Origin Crystals inside.

Xu Changxing collected Yan Wusheng’s spoils while Li Changge recovered from his epiphany and chose to deepen his understanding of the Great Dao before attempting to become a Golden Immortal. The two then set out to gather resources from the Small World, where Li Changge discovered that a demonic sect had left most of its treasures for him.

• Xu Changxing found thirty-six origin crystals and the Golden Immortal-grade Immortal-Swaying Banner among Yan Wusheng’s spoils, then returned to guard Li Changge.

After defeating Yan Wusheng, Xu Changxing spent more than fifty years in seclusion, advancing his Great Dao of Music to the Golden Immortal Third Layer. Back at the Moonflower Sect, he joined Yan Guyin on the way to a trading gathering at Foolish Peak.

Xu Changxing attended the Golden Immortal banquet on Foolish Peak, sold treasures, and learned of suspicions that Immortal Monarchs had become scarce and the path to Taiyi might be blocked. During the trading session, a five-colored Immortal Stone drew his attention when Cangqiu Daoist offered six Origin Crystals for it.

• Yan Guyin brought Xu Changxing to Foolish Peak, where the Longevity Immortal Elder welcomed them and hosted the visiting Golden Immortals.
• Xu Changxing sold most of his recently acquired treasures for two Origin Crystals and saved the Immortal-Swaying Banner for the final trading session.
• Fairy Qiongyin presided over the trading session, and Yan Guyin explained that Immortal Monarchs rarely appeared among Golden Immortals and that none had heard of a Golden Immortal advancing to Taiyi in several hundred thousand years.
• Xu Changxing wondered whether the Immortal Monarchs' withdrawal was connected to the upheaval in the Tianyan Sect.
• A five-colored Immortal Stone appeared at the trading session, and Cangqiu Daoist offered six Origin Crystals for it.

At a Golden Immortal trading gathering, Xu Changxing and Yan Guyin discussed Cangqiu Daoist and the sale of Chimu Immortal’s cave-abode treasure. The chapter left Xu Changxing and Yan Guyin realizing Fairy Qiongyin had been listening to their private voice transmissions and was willing to buy unusual incense from them.

• Yan Guyin warned Xu Changxing that Cangqiu Daoist might resent his growing reputation in alchemy, and Xu Changxing agreed to fight back if Cangqiu caused trouble.
• Chimu Immortal offered his grotto-heaven Magic Treasure as a cave abode for fifty origin crystals, and Fairy Qiongyin offered to buy it at that price.

• Fairy Qiongyin answered their private conversation and confirmed she had heard them, then said she would buy unusual incense from them.

Xu Changxing tried to negotiate with Fairy Qiongyin over special incense while concealing his mastery of the Way of Music, then offered the Immortal-Swaying Banner at the gathering. When Cangqiu Daoist accused him of ties to the Demonic Path, Yan Guyin intervened angrily on his behalf.

• Xu Changxing used the laws of music to contact Fairy Qiongyin, who realized he understood the Way of Music and became interested in buying his incense.
• Xu Changxing waited for Fairy Qiongyin to approach him about the deal and secretly doubled the price he planned to ask.

• Xu Changxing explained that he had taken the banner from a Profound Demon's lair after killing its owner.
• Cangqiu Daoist questioned how Xu Changxing could have killed a Profound Demon, and Yan Guyin shouted at him to stop targeting Xu Changxing.

Xu Changxing answered Cangqiu Daoist’s accusation by demonstrating how his Great Dao of Music could command several other Great Daos. When Cangqiu Daoist attacked his illusory world with a Flying Shuttle, Xu Changxing turned his music into a Thunder Hell that destroyed it and threatened Cangqiu Daoist.
