• Xu Changxing and Daoist Wuchen discussed the Order Pearl and the Grotto-Heaven’s support for its cultivators.

• The banner weakened Li Changge’s Sword Light and suppressed the Tianyan Sect’s immortals as a storm of laws swept toward their Grotto-Heaven.

The Myriad Immortals Alliance’s Immortal-Dropping Banner was repelled when Jiang Yao used her starlight to restore the Tianyan Sect’s suppressed laws, turning the battle in the sect’s favor. The alliance then deployed a Cloud-Binding Rope to occupy Jiang Yao and renew the banner’s advance, prompting Xu Changxing and Daoist Wuchen to suspect it still had more hidden measures.

• Immortal Lord Jiuxu ordered the formation changed, and hundreds of thousands of Myriad Immortals Alliance immortals scattered and charged toward the Grotto-Heaven.
• Feng Yuan questioned why the Alliance had abandoned its formation and launched a mass charge under the Great Dao’s suppression.

The Myriad Immortals Alliance attacked the Tianyan Sect’s Grotto-Heaven, but Xu Changxing used the Heavenly Dao Painting to erase the invading forces. Just as High Person Sanshou gained the upper hand, a Daluo Immortal Venerable intervened and halted the battle, leaving the Alliance’s intentions uncertain.

• The Myriad Immortals Alliance charged into the Grotto-Heaven, where its immortals faced Daoist Wuchen’s resistance, the Great Dao’s suppression, and attacks from spirit beasts.

• Yan Guyin and Lei Yanbo realized the Alliance had relied on the Daluo’s intervention, while Yan Guyin noted that the Daluo had ordered the battle to end rather than demand the Tianyan Sect’s surrender.

The Myriad Immortals Alliance’s Daluo, Tian Ge Patriarch, tried to stop the battle, but Xu Changxing and High Person Sanshou refused to yield. Tian Ge Patriarch unleashed a storm of blood blades against Xu Changxing’s Grotto-Heaven.

• Yan Guyin and Lei Yanbo discussed the Tianyan Sect’s defense and feared the Myriad Immortals Alliance would retaliate to recover its lost face.

• Tian Ge Patriarch realized Xu Changxing was far stronger than a Taiyi and transformed himself into a lightning strike aimed at Xu Changxing.
• Xu Changxing activated a Law Barrier formed from the Grotto-Heaven’s Great Dao Laws, blocking Tian Ge Patriarch’s final attack but allowing the Laws Storm to injure nearby cultivators.
• Xu Changxing recovered from the lingering Thunder Punishment through his Life Laws, while the Myriad Immortals Alliance’s formation faltered as its cultivators lost their will to fight.
• The Taiyi Immortal Lords and Immortal Lord Jiuxu stood stunned, unable to rally the alliance against Xu Changxing and the Tianyan Sect.

Xu Changxing defeated Tian Ge Patriarch, forcing Immortal Lord Jiuxu and the Myriad Immortals Alliance to surrender. Watching the victory through the Water Mirror, Lei Yanbo and Yan Guyin considered its consequences and whether the Moonflower Sect should seek refuge with the Tianyan Sect.

• Zhili accepted the assignment while suspecting the others would let him bear the backlash before coming to his aid.

After the Tianyan Sect defeated the Myriad Immortals Alliance, High Person Sanshou sealed its Taiyi Immortal Lords and entered sudden enlightenment, bringing him close to attaining the Dao of Daluo. Immortal Venerable Zhili arrived to take the defeated immortals away, but Sanshou attacked him and drove him back with Xu Changxing's help.

Xu Changxing negotiated with Immortal Venerable Zhili to ransom the Myriad Immortals Alliance’s captives, securing two Innate Spirit Treasures and other compensation. After the prisoners were released, Xu Changxing considered recruiting immortals from the Immortal Realm to rapidly expand the Grotto-Heaven and went to consult Daoist Wuchen.

• Xu Changxing rebuked Immortal Venerable Zhili for his earlier threats, then agreed to discuss terms for releasing the captured immortals.
• After several days of bargaining, Xu Changxing and Immortal Venerable Zhili agreed on a ransom of the Cloud-Binding Rope, the Immortal-Dropping Banner, treasures worth ten million Origin Crystals, and a promise not to obstruct immigrants from the Immortal Realm.

• Daoist Wuchen recommended inviting whole sects to reduce the risks of admitting individual immortals.
• Xu Changxing proposed the Moonflower Sect, and Daoist Wuchen suggested selecting two additional sects.
• Over several months, Daoist Wuchen and the Golden Immortal Elders chose the Moonflower Sect, Lingyun Sect, and Baizhe Mountain.
• Zhike secured Lingyun Sect's agreement, while Baizhe Mountain accepted an invitation to relocate to the Tianyan Sect.

Xu Changxing moved three sects to the Bottom of the Abyss, where their growth and a Lingyun Sect elder’s breakthrough prompted more Immortal Sects to consider relocating. He reunited with Bu Yufeng, whose fear that Xu’s influence could endanger Seven Star Island left Xu sensing something unusual in his senior brother.

• Xu Changxing relocated the Moonflower Sect, the Lingyun Sect, and Baizhe Mountain to the Bottom of the Abyss, where Baizhe Mountain cultivators began growing treasures under Tianyan Sect protection.

• Xu Changxing received a message from Bu Yufeng and traveled to Seven Star Island to meet his former senior brother.
• Bu Yufeng explained that he had contacted Xu to seek a path forward for Seven Star Island, but feared the sect would be destroyed by the consequences of their old bond.
• As Bu Yufeng spoke, Xu Changxing sensed laws faintly flowing around him.

Xu Changxing returned to the Demon Realm after visiting Bu Yufeng and found Demon-Suppressing Mountain reduced to ruins. He began investigating its destruction and discovered that one of the lingering auras belonged to someone who might still be alive.

• Xu Changxing traced the lingering auras of those who had fought at the site and found one aura that still glowed amid the Great Dao ripples.

Xu Changxing learned that Demon-Suppressing Mountain had been overthrown because it had monopolized cultivation resources, then killed an old cultivator who planned to possess a youth and left the youth a cultivation technique. He traveled to the world where his cultivation began and found the Setting Sun Sect still standing, though its former mountain gate, buildings, and spiritual qi were gone.

• Xu Changxing subdued an old Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator and learned that rogue cultivators had destroyed Demon-Suppressing Mountain after it monopolized cultivation resources.

• Xu Changxing left the Demon Realm and traveled to the world where he had first cultivated, intending to visit the Setting Sun Sect.
• Xu Changxing found that the Setting Sun Sect's mountain gate and most of its buildings had vanished, and its depleted earth vein could barely support cultivation.

Xu Changxing discovered that a Li Household family still preserved the Setting Sun Sect’s Cloudglow Reflecting Immortal Art and learned that its elders believed the Cloudglow Sect had falsely claimed the sect’s legacy. The old man’s grandson vowed to avenge the family, while Xu Changxing observed them silently.

• The old man angrily rejected the Cloudglow Sect’s claim to be the Setting Sun Sect’s successor, and his grandson promised to tear down its Mountain Gate.

Xu Changxing realized that the Setting Sun Sect's legacy had declined because its cultivation art had failed to keep pace with newer techniques, and he experienced sudden enlightenment about space-time and life and death. After recognizing Li Yuanlin and Li Qing as the sect's true successors, he intervened when Li Qing's cultivation nearly overwhelmed him, leaving Li Qing to suspect he had found the fortuitous opportunity his grandfather had described.
