As the sect imposed Immortal Gate Great Governance, Zhuo Qingcheng announced universal cultivation and education, leaving the newly governed city facing a sweeping new decree.

• Jiang Man angered the Sanhe Immortal Spirit by demanding Spirit Sources to meet him, and Ren Qian used the demand to push the captive toward offering information.

Jiang Man and his companions tried to recruit the Azure City Sect while the Evergreen Sect outbid them, and Jiang Man focused on cultivating instead of directing the negotiations. After advancing his physical body and learning Great Sun Shining Heaven, he ordered Zhuo Qingcheng to place his Formation Furnace where the Evergreen Sect’s people were staying; the Azure City Sect chose the Evergreen Sect, but its representatives failed to appear.

• Jiang Man told Zhuo Qingcheng to offer the Azure City Sect the original terms and place his Formation Furnace where the Evergreen Sect was staying.
• The Azure City Sect rejected Jiang Man’s offer and chose the Evergreen Sect, but the Evergreen Sect’s representatives did not appear that day as Jiang Man continued cultivating.

Jiang Man’s offer cuts forced the Azure City Sect to accept ninety percent of its original resources, while Zhuo Qingcheng and the others mistook his unplanned tactics for a deliberate strategy. After completing his spell arts, Jiang Man set out to confront the Evergreen Sect’s disciples at Moonwatch Peak.

• The Azure City Sect realized the Evergreen Sect was using its sealed formation to wait for Wuyun’s offer to fall, and Sect Master Luo agreed to the reduced ninety-percent deal.

Meanwhile, Ji Meng investigated the Altar and ordered Qing Dai to look into the woman connected to it, even if the Immortal Gate noticed.

• Sima Xuan offered the Azure City Sect its original resource allocation, but Jiang Man arrived with nine suns and shattered Sima Xuan’s Mountains and Rivers in the Palm spell art.

• Ji Meng read Jiang Man’s letter, and Qing Dai told her that similar Altars had appeared across different eras and locations.
• Ji Meng told Qing Dai to investigate the woman connected to the Altar, and said they should send the woman on her way if they found her.

Ji Meng explained how Jiang Man could reach the box hidden in the Ji Family formation, where he found a letter describing an impending war and a request to find a woman connected to the Ji Family. After completing the handover at the Azure City Sect, Jiang Man arrived at the Moonlit Sect and began bringing it under Wuyun Sect governance despite powerful outsiders lurking nearby.

• Ji Meng told Jiang Man how to bypass the formation and touch the box, and he found a letter warning that a great war was coming and asking him to find a woman named Meng.
• Jiang Man learned from Ji Meng that the bead in the box came from the old Immortal Court and could be valuable, then decided to give it to Meng Qiewei.
• Jiang Man cultivated while the Azure City Sect completed its handover and established the Cloudfront Office, then departed for the Moonlit Sect with his companions.
• The Moonlit Sect’s Young Sect Master told Jiang Man that seven powerful cultivators from a nearby sect were trying to take control of the Moonlit Sect.
• Jiang Man sealed the Moonlit Sect’s main hall with the Formation Furnace and presented the governance contract, and the Sect Master and Grand Elder signed it.

Luo Jian gained official status in the Moonlit Sect, while Jiang Man accepted an assignment to investigate the Sword Mound and the people watching it. After seven days of probing, Jiang Man revealed himself among the watchers and killed one of them.

• Luo Jian celebrated becoming an official member of the Moonlit Sect, and Jiang Man told the Sect Master to request aid against the hidden threat.
• Three days later, Zhuo Qingcheng told Jiang Man that his request broke a rule, but the matter could still count as two assignments without extra rewards.
• Jiang Man examined the Sword Mound, found no hidden source, and sealed it off to probe it with the Evil God Method.
• Seven people concealed themselves outside the Moonlit Sect and waited for Jiang Man to uncover the object they sought within the Sword Mound.
• After sensing strong fluctuations seven days later, the watchers prepared to enter the Sword Mound, but their disguised companion revealed himself as Jiang Man and shattered a swordsman's blade before killing him.

Jiang Man fought a group of powerful intruders at the Sword Mound, but a mysterious force interrupted the battle and drove the survivors away. He returned to find something missing, then claimed the credit for killing the intruders after learning they were wanted criminals, while Ren Qian received the report in disbelief.

• Jiang Man confronted six intruders, defeated several with his abilities, and nearly finished them before a burst of power from the Sword Mound struck the group.
• The short woman gave Jiang Man a book and the white-haired man handed him a Storage Law Treasure before both escaped, while the other intruders were killed by the mysterious attacks.

• Ren Qian received word that Jiang Man had supposedly slain four wanted criminals, including two at the early stage and two at the middle stage of Return to the Void, and doubted the report.

Jiang Man uncovered a Supreme Law in the Sword Mound while an unknown formation spread across it, then sent a piece of the carved wall to Miss Ji Meng as an Evil God prepared to arrive in person. As the battle shook the shelter in early July, Jiang Man prepared to escape, while Old Yellow Ox sensed his crisis from afar.

• Jiang Man recovered from his fight, explored the hidden cavern, and learned that its damaged carvings contained a ruined Supreme Law.
• Ren Qian arrived with the Enforcement Hall, investigated the cavern, and warned Jiang Man that the surviving wanted criminals might seek revenge.
• Jiang Man discovered that a secret formation was sealing the cavern and deliberately pried a piece of the Supreme Law’s stone wall loose.
• Ren Qian announced that an Evil God would come in person, so Jiang Man secretly sent the stone to Miss Ji Meng and then took shelter with Zhuo Qingcheng and the others.
• In early July, immense power struck the shelter, and Jiang Man opened a route to the Wuyun Sect while preparing to flee if the defenses failed.
• Old Yellow Ox sensed that Jiang Man was in grave danger and waited in his bedroom.

As Wuyun Sect battled an Evil God, Jiang Man endured the sealed shelter’s oppressive aura, subdued five infiltrators, and learned the enemy wanted a stone he had found. After the battle, the Mountain-Suppressing Office confirmed the stone’s importance and promised compensation, while Jiang Man remained stranded as the Magpie Bridge opened and Ting Fengyin arrived too late.

• Wuyun Sect mobilized its experts as an urgent crisis erupted, while Jiang Man and the others sheltered from the battle’s overwhelming force.
• Jiang Man had Zhuo Qingcheng knock the shelter’s occupants unconscious, then stayed awake as the pressure intensified and five people rose to open the cavern for an Immortal Spirit.
• Jiang Man suppressed the five infiltrators, questioned them about the Immortal Spirit, and knocked them out before the shelter’s Law Treasures began to shatter.
• A voice threatened Wuyun Sect over a stolen object, and the next day Ren Qian opened the shelter and brought Jiang Man to meet the injured Mountain-Suppressing Office officials.

Jiang Man learned from Ting Fengyin about the Ji Family’s special surnames, the Supreme Heart Hall, and a formation that could disrupt the Spirit Blossom Immortal Spirit’s defenses. After returning to the Moonlit Sect, he investigated the enemy’s formations and chose a place for Ting Fengyin’s formation, but He Que arrived just as he was about to act.

• Jiang Man told Ting Fengyin about his recent encounters, and Ting Fengyin agreed to support him if the Four Seas Evil God or other enemies came after him.
• Ting Fengyin advised Jiang Man to establish his Immortal Ascension Daoist Site at the Supreme Heart Hall, explained that the Evil God cultivated the Supreme Upper Chapter, Forgetting Emotion, and said the Ji Family had only one person with each special surname.
• Ting Fengyin taught Jiang Man a formation that could disrupt the Evil God’s formations, then instructed him to find the Supreme Heart Hall and establish his Daoist Site there.
• After three days, Jiang Man returned to the courtyard with fruit and resumed cultivation; the Moonlit Sect continued recovering while hostile formations spread toward its territory.
• Ren Qian told Jiang Man that the Sect’s leaders were badly injured and that the enemy’s formations were extending outward, so Jiang Man agreed to seek information from the Spirit Blossom Immortal Spirit.
• In early August, Jiang Man selected a place to inscribe Ting Fengyin’s formation, but He Que arrived to resume his supervisory duties before Jiang Man could act.

Jiang Man secretly used a formation to suppress the spreading Evil God formation, then returned safely to the Wuyun Sect and visited Ji Meng, who teased him about exchanging her gift for Spirit Sources. Meanwhile, Luo Jian returned to the Luo Lineage and found it in better condition than he expected.

• He Que's notebook described the days Jiang Man spent cultivating while He Que was unconscious, leaving the period he could not remember blank.
• Jiang Man used the Evil God Method to reach the spreading formation, where he posed as Drunken Floating Life and drew a formation that repeatedly dismantled the Evil God formation.

• Luo Jian returned to Falling Cloud City, found the Luo Lineage well maintained, and told its guards he wanted to see the lineage head.

Luo Jian returned to the Luo Lineage as a Primordial Spirit cultivator and offered Luo Xuan a chance to pursue further cultivation at the Moonlit Sect, leaving her torn between that future and her ties to Gao Yao. Meanwhile, Jiang Man took Ji Meng shopping and brought her to his Shaobing Shop, where they unexpectedly came face-to-face with a Man in White.

• Luo Jian reunited with Luo Huaili, revealed his Primordial Spirit cultivation, and offered to take Luo Xuan to the Moonlit Sect for training.
• Jiang Man traded the Supreme Law stone to Ji Meng in exchange for an enormous surprise and took her to shop for food in the Outer Sect.
• Luo Xuan received news of Luo Jian's return and promotion, and Luo Lu urged her to leave Gao Yao's shop and seize the chance to cultivate.
• Luo Xuan asked Cheng Yu for advice, explaining that she was unsure whether she liked Gao Yao or should pursue her new opportunity.
• Jiang Man and Ji Meng reached the Shaobing Shop and found a Man in White eating there; both he and Jiang Man froze when they saw each other.

Jiang Man reported the Bai Family Ancestor for hiding his Primordial Spirit cultivation in the Outer Sect, but the report led to a fight that landed Jiang Man, Ji Meng, and the Bai Family Ancestor in the Enforcement Hall. After they paid fines and left, Jiang Man discussed the Supreme Law and his plans with Old Yellow Ox, while the Bai Family Ancestor privately prepared for what he believed was his coming death.

• Jiang Man reported the Bai Family Ancestor for concealing his cultivation, then the Bai Family Ancestor attacked Jiang Man and Ji Meng in the shaobing shop.
• The Enforcement Hall investigated the three, fined each of them ten thousand Spirit Sources, and released them.
• Jiang Man took Ji Meng home, where they shared a shaobing and discussed his promised surprise; Ji Meng also told him that Mr. Tantai had made her repay his hundred thousand Spirit Sources.
• Jiang Man showed Old Yellow Ox the stone containing the Supreme Law and discussed finding the Supreme Heart Hall to establish an Immortal Ascension Daoist Site.
• The Bai Family Ancestor divined that his death would come within a year or two and began planning how to send the Ji Family's old woman back.

Jiang Man began his third year in the Inner Sect while Luo Xuan weighed whether to leave the shop and pursue cultivation elsewhere. After hearing Little Fatty call the offer an opportunity as great as the heavens, Luo Xuan made her choice, then asked him whether he thought she was a coward.

• Luo Jian and Luo Huaili discussed Luo Xuan’s future and visited her at the shop to ask for her decision.
• Luo Xuan told Luo Jian that Little Fatty had urged her to take the cultivation opportunity, and Luo Jian and Luo Huaili left after speaking with her.
• Luo Xuan asked Little Fatty whether he would leave if Jiang Man were absent, and he said he would pursue the chance to reach Core Formation.

Jiang Man contacted the Sun-Moon Immortal Journey for information about the Formation Arts Evil God, but its representative demanded the Emperor’s Heart and revealed little. After learning the representative was the Water God, Jiang Man received a proposal to act as a paid intermediary between Tantai Xue and Drunken Floating Life, leaving him to rely on the Mountain-Suppressing Office to make the connection.

• Jiang Man used the Black Spirit Abyss token to contact the Sun-Moon Immortal Journey and asked for information about the Formation Arts Evil God.

• Jiang Man filled his fourth cultivation gourd, agreed to communicate with Red Eagle, and began trading information through Drunken Floating Life.
• Tantai Xue met Jiang Man in the ruins and asked why Drunken Floating Life had appeared in the Black Spirit Abyss; she offered information about the Formation Arts Evil God or an undercover agent as payment.
• Jiang Man delivered an envelope explaining that the unrest involved the Immortal Gate’s list and a report that the Ji Family woman had married Jiang Man of the Wuyun Sect.
• Tantai Xue told Tantai Xiaotian the report, and he realized the person involved might be Jiang Man rather than Drunken Floating Life.

Jiang Man learned more about the Wuyou Evil God and the battle from over three hundred years ago, then completed his cultivation and faced an assessment with his companions. Tantai Xue decided to help him find the Supreme Heart Hall as the chapter ended.

• Tantai Xue discussed the dangerous rumors surrounding Jiang Man with Tantai Xiaotian and decided to stop investigating them.
