There, Guan Wuyuan summoned the city's elders and Hall Masters to announce that another Mahayana Sage was about to join Domain-Suppressing City.

• At the Cloud-Pasturing Gathering, Bai Yi overheard cultivators discussing the Desolate Realm and asked a Golden Core elder what had happened to the returning prodigies.

• After the City Lord disappeared, Haide declared that he would temporarily take charge of Domain-Suppressing City on Xiang Kuang’s behalf.

After six years in the Heaven-Bearing Daoist Grounds, Bai Yi returned to Domain-Suppressing City and learned that events in the Desolate Realm had changed the wider world. The Grand Elder greeted him and asked whether he had returned to find Sage Xiang.

• In Heaven-Ascending City, Bai Yi rejected Zhen Pingye’s offer to join his faction and subdued him and his two Nascent Soul attendants with his Sword Qi.
• After Bai Yi left, Zhen Pingye revealed his connection to Yi Daoting and said the message about Bai Yi’s Sword Dao aptitude and Pure Yang Golden Crow Qi had been accurate.

• Bai Yi flew toward the Golden Crow Hall, but the Grand Elder emerged from a tear in space and welcomed him back.
• The Grand Elder told Bai Yi that Wang Qinghua’s remnants had been burned away and asked if he had returned to find Sage Xiang, leaving Bai Yi startled.

After becoming a Mahayana Sage and the City Lord of Domain-Suppressing City, Xiang Kuang reunited with Bai Yi in seclusion and teased him for his growth. Xiang Kuang then revealed that he had planned to use Wang Qinghua as a stepping stone before handing Bai Yi an ancient Inheritance Jade Talisman.

Bai Yi learned that the Golden Crow Lineage had arranged the Heaven-Bearing Daoist Grounds’ inheritance long ago, while Wang Qinghua had only been one link in its chain. Xiang Kuang then revealed the Desolate Realm’s origins and the World-Passing Ancient Road, which connected countless realms and led to lands above the World Sea.

• Bai Yi learned from the Inheritance Jade Talisman that the Golden Crow Lineage’s leader had deliberately left the Heaven-Bearing Daoist Grounds and that Wang Qinghua had merely obtained its Secret Key.
• Xiang Kuang confirmed that Bai Yi had received the Golden Crow Lineage’s inheritance, including the Immortal Charm Void-Refinement Qi, and Bai Yi asked why the Immortal-Attracting Main Palace had fallen.

• Xiang Kuang revealed that the road through the Desolate Realm was the World-Passing Ancient Road, linking countless great planes and offering a path to the lands above the World Sea.

Xiang Kuang told Bai Yi that the World-Passing Ancient Road connected countless Plane Worlds and led toward the World Sea, where myriad realm prodigies competed. He gave Bai Yi the Golden Crow inheritance and urged him to consider entering the road, while privately fearing he would fail to buy Bai Yi much time; just as Bai Yi prepared to leave, an unseen figure found him.

• Bai Yi asked Xiang Kuang about Langyu Qingming Heaven, and Xiang Kuang explained that it lay among the upper roots of the World-Passing Ancient Road and that peerless prodigies fought their way along it.
• Xiang Kuang admitted he had been driven off the Ancient Road after entering it, then recognized that Bai Yi's talent and cultivation surpassed his own at the same age.
• Xiang Kuang gave Bai Yi an Inheritance Jade Talisman containing the remaining Great Sun Golden Crow Prison-Suppressing Canon layers and the Golden Crow Lineage's records of the Ancient Road.
• Bai Yi decided he would enter the Ancient Road to face the Heavenly Prodigies of Myriad Realms and seek treasures to repair the Dao-Deriving Mirror.
• Xiang Kuang warned Bai Yi that the Desolate Realm Remnant Clans would resist his entry and reflected that he might fail to protect Bai Yi for long.
• After Xiang Kuang pushed Bai Yi out above the main city, an unseen figure called out that they had finally found him.

Bai Yi returned after six years and reunited with the Old Chi Dragon, who had searched the spatial storms for him. They reached the Immortal Alliance Dao Realm Tree, where Bai Yi found the Alliance’s Orbital Space Station greatly advanced, while Baiyu secretly observed the unusual tree and its rapidly developing Artifact Spirit, Nüwa.

• The Central Mainframe welcomed Bai Yi, and researchers at the Immortal Alliance Central Laboratory celebrated his return while Yu Wen continued an experiment to improve cultivators’ comprehension of the Great Dao.

• The Immortal Alliance, Fusheng Dao Domain, and Blood River Demon Realm formed an alliance and held back the tribes after Xue Feng returned with Feng Weiyi, though the enemy retained an advantage in top-end strength.

He discovered that his influence had also made Sword Dao the Alliance’s most popular cultivation path, with researchers developing technology to support it.

• Fu Yu told Bai Yi that Yu Wen and the Immortal Alliance’s researchers had driven major technological advances that helped the Alliance survive after the Desolate Realm descended.

• Bai Yi and the others arrived at the Central Laboratory, where excited researchers gathered to welcome him and thank him for his influence on the Alliance.
• The researchers revealed that Sword Dao had become the Alliance’s most popular cultivation path under Bai Yi’s influence, and that the Central Research Institute was developing Sword Dao Technology to help him advance further.

Bai Yi toured the Immortal Alliance Research Institute and saw how Spirit Conversion Technology turned mass-produced Aerospace Battleships into Second Tier High Grade Magical Artifacts. Yu Wen then revealed the secret Artificial Dantian technology behind the Rune Master robots, leaving Bai Yi considering its potential for ordinary cultivators.

• Yu Wen led Bai Yi to a factory where machines mass-produced Aerospace Battleships and Talisman Master robots inscribed them with Runes.
• A Golden Core cultivator used Artifact Refining to fuse and temper a battleship into a Second Tier High Grade Magical Artifact.
• Yu Wen explained that Spirit Conversion Technology could let Foundation Establishment cultivators threaten Golden Core cultivators using specialized, refined battleships.
• Yu Wen revealed that the Talisman Master II-B1 robots used an Artificial Dantian developed from Immortal Alliance technology and Domain-Suppressing City’s puppet inheritance.
• Bai Yi asked how many knew about the Artificial Dantian, then deactivated a Rune Master robot’s self-destruct system and examined its external, crippled version.

Bai Yi toured the Immortal Alliance’s advanced research zones and learned how technology had accelerated cultivation, medicine production, and weapons development. He supplied rare Totem Sealing Realm flesh to support experiments restoring powerful cultivators’ bodies, giving hope that Chen Fuye could return to battle.

• Yu Wen showed Bai Yi mass-produced Artificial Dantians and explained the Immortal Alliance’s plan to subsidize them and equip Dao Studies programs with cultivation rooms.
• Yu Wen guided Bai Yi through spirit-herb cultivation and automated alchemy facilities, then showed him the Alliance’s other cutting-edge research projects.
• Bai Yi saw flesh-and-blood restoration experiments that Yu Wen said could restore severed limbs, and learned that their most successful test subject had been a Nascent Soul Devil Lord.
• Bai Yi asked whether the technology could restore a Spirit Transformation cultivator and provided flesh from a Totem Sealing Realm barbarian.
• Yu Wen accepted the sample and promised it could help them cultivate experimental tissue restoring more than sixty percent of a Spirit Transformation cultivator’s original power.
• Bai Yi judged that this would be enough to restore Chen Fuye as a trump card for the Immortal Alliance.

Yu Wen showed Bai Yi the Immortal Alliance’s Wisdom-Rhythm Artifact Infant Technology, which used a Nascent Soul Remnant Soul and a Heavenly Wisdom Crystal Core to create an intelligent artifact spirit. After seeing its potential to help cultivate Sword Cultivators and empower his own Life-bound Flying Sword, Bai Yi offered three Totem Blood Spirits to strengthen the experiment.

• Yu Wen brought Bai Yi into the Mountain Laboratory and showed him test subject No. 003, a Blood River Devil Dao Nascent Soul Remnant Soul implanted with Soul Runes and a Heavenly Wisdom Crystal Core.
• Test subject No. 003 awakened, greeted Yu Wen and Bai Yi, then merged with a terminal computer and transformed it into a Magical Artifact.

• Bai Yi considered how the technology could help Sword Cultivators and confirmed that his Purple Clarity Abyssless Sword had developed a trace of spirituality.
• Yu Wen revealed that the laboratory had saved more than ten Nascent Soul Remnant Souls to help Bai Yi’s Life-bound Flying Sword form an artifact spirit.
• Bai Yi produced three Totem Blood Spirits and offered them for the experiment.
