Li Xian agreed to compete for one of the thirty-six tokens that would grant access to the opportunity to condense a Golden Core, while rival factions formed a coalition to stop him. After entering the Heavenlight Secret Realm first, he blocked the way forward and challenged their thirty-four strongest cultivators to defeat him.

• Li Xian struck three Sixth Realm True Flame cultivators who tried to slip into the Heavenlight Secret Realm, forcing the others to realize he meant to stop everyone, not just the thirty-four Seventh Realm fighters.

Afterward, Li Xian allocated the places and his victory spread across the True Immortal Great World as he prepared to contemplate Yin-Yang Convergence.

• Li Xian fought off the cultivators surrounding the Heavenlight Secret Realm entrance while Mu Xingchui led most of the Great Luo Immortal Sect disciples inside to find the Tokens.
• Kun Gang and Golden Scale Child realized Li Xian could replenish his magic power by devouring the energy of their spells, while Suye argued that Li Xian could not kill them.
• Li Xian crossed the boundary and crushed Suye to death after enduring a concentrated barrage of spells, prompting Golden Scale Child, Zhang Zhulu, and the other leaders to order a retreat.
• Yang Ge and Zhang Yao reported that the Great Luo Immortal Sect had found all thirty-six Tokens, and Li Xian took one place and assigned the remaining thirty-five according to potential.
• Li Xian left the Heavenlight Secret Realm with the Great Luo Immortal Sect, and news of his victory spread until he was widely recognized as invincible under heaven within the Sixth Realm.

After Li Xian’s battle made the Great Luo Immortal Sect and other powers recognize him as a rising threat, he prepared to enter the formation that would draw thunderflame from the heavens.

• Ji Mingyue activated the Immortal Ascension Grand Formation, drawing Qi of Earth Sha from Rolling Cloud Mountain and sending it skyward to provoke thunderflame.
• Ji Mingyue merged the pillars into one, thunderflame struck the earth-sha pillar, and Ji Qingfeng and the thirty-six True Flame cultivators, including Li Xian, entered the formation.

Li Xian witnessed the convergence of thunderflame and yin baleful energy, gained insight into the path to immortality, and formed an Undying Golden Core by fusing yin and yang. He emerged as a Dao Seed and prepared to return to the Taiqing Sword Sect, where he expected his new status to open the way to the Immortal-Burying Ancient Ground.

• Li Xian studied the meeting of heaven and earth and concluded that the stages of cultivation ultimately led toward immortality and the formation of a Human Immortal body.
• After the formation dispersed, Li Xian decided to form his Golden Core before cultivating Divine Sense and entered seclusion in his cave abode.
• Li Xian repeatedly fused Taiyin True Essence and Taiyang True Fire, formed an Undying Golden Core, and inscribed the Primordial Unity Fuli True Body, Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi, and his Sword Intent Divine Ability upon it.
• Several days later, Ji Qingfeng, Xu Shiping, Mu Xingchui, and Ji Mingyue congratulated Li Xian on his breakthrough and recognized him as Dao Seed Li.
• Li Xian declined a grand Golden Core banquet and told Ji Mingyue that he wanted to return to the Taiqing Sword Sect as soon as possible.

After forming his Golden Core, Li Xian encountered An Ruyi being chased over the Thousand Mechanisms Diagram and killed her pursuers. The map led him to a nearby mountain, where a powerful Heavenly Sha Devil Sect ambusher met his charge, and Li Xian eagerly prepared to strike again.

• Li Xian reflected on his Golden Core’s new perception of the world and its role in advancing toward divine sense.
• Li Xian recognized An Ruyi as two Pang Family elders pursued her, intervened, and killed them with Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi.
• An Ruyi offered Li Xian the Thousand Mechanisms Diagram, which she believed was genuine and which marked a location three hundred thousand li away.
• Li Xian traveled to the marked mountain and attacked it, but a seventh-layer asura dharma body rose to intercept him.
• Li Xian collided with the asura dharma body, identified its master as a Spirit Refining peak expert, and charged again in his Primordial Unity Fuli True Body state.

Li Xian defeated a peak Spirit Refining elder of the Heavenly Sha Devil Sect, but the elder’s final attack broke through his defenses and taught him not to underestimate any opponent. After returning to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, Li Xian declined a Dao Seed ceremony and went straight to the Immortal-Burying Ancient Ground, where he activated his Dao Bodies to draw out more sword intent.

Li Xian explored the Immortal-Burying Ancient Ground and received two superior Dao Artifacts, the Primordial Unity Pearl and the Voidflow Sword, from Human Immortal inheritances. He suppressed the Voidflow Sword’s influence to avoid relying on Dao resonance for an unnatural transformation, then prepared to absorb the remaining insights and strengthen his foundations.

• Li Xian gathered insights into the void and the Chaos Dao, including the Primordial Unity Qi Art, from other Human Immortal wills.
• He used the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi to seize the hidden Voidflow Sword, another superior Dao Artifact that greatly deepened his understanding of the void and his sword techniques.
• Li Xian realized that letting the Voidflow Sword guide his Dao Body’s transformation risked Dao Transformation, so he suppressed the influence and put the artifact away.
• He decided to digest the gathered insights and use them to enrich his foundations and make up for his short cultivation history.

Li Xian absorbed the Immortal-Burying Ancient Ground’s inheritances, deepened his Sword Intent Divine Ability, and emerged with two superior-grade Dao Artifacts. Lei Jun tried to steer him into the Garrison Hall and pressure him to surrender the artifacts, but Xuanling intervened and took Li Xian to discuss a post arranged by the Sect Master.

• Li Xian studied seventy-nine Loose Immortal inheritances, discovered that the Floating Light Sword Immortal’s speed-focused Sword Intent Divine Ability pointed toward the Time Great Dao, and advanced his own ability.

• After nearly two years of study, Li Xian left the Immortal-Burying Ancient Ground with a clearer path toward Loose Immortal cultivation and greater confidence in facing Tribulation.
• Lei Jun offered Li Xian a position in the Garrison Hall and warned him about threats to his life, but Li Xian readily agreed to use his artifacts to lure out hostile experts.
• Li Xian summoned Xuanling, who explained that attacking him in the Immortal Realm would provoke retaliation and all-out war, then rebuked Lei Jun and escorted Li Xian to discuss the Sect Master’s arrangements.

Xuanling brought Li Xian to Miro Heaven, the grotto-heaven created by the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s founder, where Li Xian met Sect Master Lu Linyuan.
