• Ji Meng found the Wuyou Evil God approaching, and Qiaoyue appeared before Jiang Man and Ji Meng.
• Qiaoyue insulted Jiang Man and asked Ji Meng whether she had consummated her marriage with him.

Jiang Man confronted Qiaoyue over her contempt for his relationship with Ji Meng and asserted that his extraordinary experiences made him the era’s true protagonist.

• After a month of cultivation, Jiang Man advanced to the True Immortal Middle Stage, and Ji Meng explained that Qiaoyue had taken two hundred years to advance from the early stage.
• Jiang Man heard that the old Clan Leader was offering a wish to whoever caught a Wish-Granting Fish, then put a written message on his hook as bait.

Jiang Man caught the Wish-Granting Fish and faced the Sea Demon Clan’s Clan Leader and three allies, who tried to claim them by force. The Clan Leader’s authority failed to move the fish, and Xia Bingcheng said it was because he had never met Jiang Man.

• Jiang Man used a cryptic message about an uneaten fruit tree to lure the Wish-Granting Fish to the lake, then caught one as golden light rose into the sky.

• The Clan Leader arrived with three allies, including a middle-aged man backed by one of the Ten Great Evil Gods, and demanded that Jiang Man surrender the fish.
• Jiang Man bet a million Spirit Sources that the Clan Leader could not take the fish within one incense stick, and the middle-aged man accepted.
• The Clan Leader completed the separation and activated his seal, but the Wish-Granting Fish did not move; Xia Bingcheng said this was because the Clan Leader had never met Jiang Man.

Jiang Man used the Wish-Granting Fish to lower the Secret Realm’s cultivation ceiling and fought the Immortal Gate’s three experts, growing stronger until he drove them back. After the Great Evil God withdrew with the experts and demanded the Water God’s release, Jiang Man confronted the old Clan Leader and named Xia Bingcheng as his successor.

• The old Clan Leader failed to retrieve the Wish-Granting Fish, and the Middle-aged Man urged Jiang Man to hand them over.

• The old Clan Leader pleaded to remain in power, but Jiang Man pointed to Xia Bingcheng as the new Clan Leader.

Jiang Man took control of the clan leader’s seal and left Xiang Tianlin to investigate the lake settlement while he continued cultivating and sought a future trade with Qiaoyue. Elsewhere, Qing Dai relayed the Eldest Miss’s request to accelerate Jiang Man’s Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny, prompting the Grand Elder to wonder if she intended to kill her husband.

• Jiang Man defeated the old clan leader, erased the True Dragon Clan’s imprint on the clan seal, and installed Xia Bingcheng as the new clan leader.
• Xiang Tianlin arrived, learned about the new and retired clan leaders, and said he was close to advancing to true immortal.
• Jiang Man asked Qiaoyue to leave a Jade Slip describing her abilities so he could arrange a trade for the Supreme Law Stone later.
• Jiang Man continued cultivating as Ji Meng fished beside him, while Xiang Tianlin investigated the settlement and its entrances.
• At Wuyun Sect, the Bai Family Ancestor speculated that someone sought by the Ancestral Dragon might be near Jiang Man, Ji Hao, and Tantai Xue.
• Qing Dai told the Grand Elder that the Eldest Miss wanted to make Jiang Man’s Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny catch up faster, and he asked if this meant husband-killing had begun.

Qing Dai explained to the Grand Elder that Jiang Man’s Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny had fallen behind his rapid cultivation and needed to catch up, prompting the clan to investigate how to accelerate it. Later, Jiang Man explored three ancient sites with Xiang Tianlin and uncovered a hidden Evil God and a mysterious withered tree whose record began revealing a long history.

• Qing Dai told the Grand Elder that Jiang Man had mastered the true Immortal Dao Five Seals and needed his fate pattern to catch up so he could master the remaining seals.
• The Grand Elder ordered the Clan Leader, the Second Elder, and the others to find records about the Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny and ways to speed up its settlement.

• Xiang Tianlin described the controlled site’s passages and ancient locations, and Jiang Man explained that the Ancestral Dragon had joined the Immortal Gate.
• Jiang Man used the Heavenly Mirror of a Hundred Books at the Sea Yao Spirit Spring and learned that it held the Sea Demon Clan’s last naturally born sea demon.
• At the Sea Yao Burial Ground, Jiang Man discovered a Special Life hiding among the corpses, then touched the withered tree beneath the ancestral grounds and saw its record begin to reveal a long history.

Jiang Man discovered that the dead tree in the secret realm was the First Thing, Origin of All Things, and nearly lost his hand after touching its spring. Back at the Wuyun Sect, he promised to help Little Fatty cultivate and revealed his overwhelming strength to the White Fox, while Ji Meng identified it as Bai Ling.

• Jiang Man identified the dead tree's extraordinary origins, and Xiang Tianlin decided to report it to the Immortal Gate.
• Jiang Man touched the spring, lost life force in his hand, and used the power of the Great Dao with Ji Meng's formation to save it, then owed her five million.
• Jiang Man told Ji Meng about the Evil God and realized that, as a peak master, he might be assigned to investigate it himself.
• At the Shaobing Shop, Little Fatty complained that his father wanted him to lead the family or marry, and Jiang Man offered to help him form his core.
• Jiang Man warned the White Fox that it could stay only while it was useful to his friends, and Ji Meng recognized it as Bai Ling of the Snowfield lineage.

Jiang Man arranged for the Bai Family Ancestor to teach the Wuyun Sect’s cultivators while the white fox learned how outmatched it was by Immortal Gate cultivators. Elsewhere, a shadowy Venerable One planned an attack on Jiang Man, who resolved to reach Heavenly Immortal within ten years.

• Jiang Man asked the white fox to remain at the Wuyun Sect, then had Qing Dai spar with it; she defeated it effortlessly despite its secret method.
• The Bai Family Ancestor expounded on the Dao to Jiang Man’s companions and Fang Yong, while Ji Meng said he seemed to be deepening his ties to Jiang Man’s fortune.
• Wang Jing, Wei Lin, and Xu Xing agreed with their Venerable One to seize Jiang Man during a coming disruption that would weaken the Immortal Gate’s connection to the sects.
• Dongfang Chengji received the Wuyun Sect’s report about an Unknown Evil God and sent True Person Taihua to investigate.
• Jiang Man wrote to Teacher Ji and Mr. Tantai about the Sea Demon Secret Realm, then concluded that his enemies would likely attack within ten years and declared that he needed to become a Heavenly Immortal by then.

Jiang Man tried a Sect-provided Dao Comprehension stone after Ji Meng questioned whether he could become a Heavenly Immortal within ten years. As the Great Dao's aura enveloped him, he sank without stopping, and the chapter ended before he learned what awaited him.

• Ji Meng doubted Jiang Man's claim that he could become a Heavenly Immortal within ten years, citing the need for an opportunity to comprehend the Dao.
• Ji Meng explained that Jiang Man could collect two Dao Comprehension opportunities from the Sect because he was both a Peak Master and the Immortal Gate's first Chief Disciple.
• Jiang Man contacted the Sect Master, who delivered a stone and explained that only Jiang Man could use its Dao Resonance.
• The Sect Master told Jiang Man that he did not need to go to the Sea Demon Clan this time, then left as Jiang Man decided to use the stone immediately.
• Jiang Man crushed the stone, and the Great Dao's aura enveloped him as he began sinking deeper and deeper.

Jiang Man returned to the Main Peak, told Old Yellow Ox about the ancient tree and the dangers gathering around him, then cultivated toward the True Immortal late stage. Meanwhile, the Ji Family modified a Law Treasure to accelerate the Peerless Heaven's Chosen Destiny, and its Grand Elder traveled to the Wuyun Sect, where the Bai Family Ancestor intercepted him before he could reach Jiang Man.

• Jiang Man told Old Yellow Ox about the Sea Demon Clan, the Great Evil God, and the tree that was the Origin of All Things, but Old Yellow Ox said only Ting Fengyin could explain the tree.
• Old Yellow Ox warned Jiang Man that the Great Evil God might be dangerous and that Heavenly Immortals would try to kill him, while Jiang Man resolved to cultivate faster and prepare to face them.
• Jiang Man took pills to fill his True Immortal cultivation gourd, which became full in early June after more than 130 days of cultivation.
• The Ji Family elders found and modified an Orb-Type Law Treasure to make the Peerless Heaven's Chosen Destiny advance faster, then the Grand Elder set out to deliver it to Jiang Man.
• The Grand Elder reached the Wuyun Sect and encountered the Bai Family Ancestor at the Shaobing Shop, who invited him to eat before offering to take him to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man used the Ji Family’s Law Treasure to accelerate the Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny, which consumed resources for seven years before granting him Pills and a Divine Ability. Its next condition demanded that he inscribe Heavenly Immortal Dao Patterns within fifty years, leaving everyone stunned until Jiang Man complained that the deadline was too long.

• The Bai Family Ancestor brought the Grand Elder to Yao Guang Peak, where the Grand Elder gave Jiang Man a Law Treasure meant to accelerate his fate pattern.
• Jiang Man activated the treasure, and the Ji Family spent years sending resources to sustain it as the sun and moon cycled for seven years.
• The Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny turned and produced Pills and a Divine Ability, then began preparing its next condition.
• Jiang Man read the new demand: he had to inscribe Heavenly Immortal Dao Patterns within fifty years and forge a Heavenly Pride’s path with Heavenly Immortal blood, or suffer backlash and lose his Great Dao aura.
• Qing Dai, the Bai Family Ancestor, and the Grand Elder despaired at the demand, while Jiang Man called the fifty-year deadline too long and worried about the gap between it and the Law Treasure’s remaining use.

Jiang Man tested his new Divine Ability, Returning Heaven and Reversing the Sun, and learned from Old Yellow Ox that becoming a Heavenly Immortal could draw powerful enemies. He met Ting Fengyin, who explained his own cultivation path and warned Jiang Man that investigating the mysterious tree had already drawn him into a dangerous whirlpool.

• Jiang Man comprehended Returning Heaven and Reversing the Sun, used it to reverse the Heavenly Dog's movement, and briefly covered the sun with his power.
• Old Yellow Ox warned Jiang Man that surpassing the Peerless Heaven's Chosen Destiny's limits could attract the Great Evil God and others on the List.

• Jiang Man asked Ting Fengyin about the four people connected to the tree, and Ting Fengyin advised him to investigate the Sun-Moon Immortal Emperor and the End of the Immortal Dao.
• Ting Fengyin warned Jiang Man that the whirlpool around the tree had already formed and asked when he would send Meng Qiewei back.

Jiang Man learned from Ting Fengyin how to use his existing powers and was warned that drawing on Drunken Floating Life could expose him to powerful enemies. After advancing to late-stage True Immortal, he continued cultivating while the Great Evil God's three Heavenly Immortals prepared to target him and lure out Drunken Floating Life.

• Jiang Man asked Ting Fengyin about killing Meng Qiewei and learned how Zhulong and his other powers could help him use the Immortal Dao Five Seals without divine abilities.
• Ting Fengyin warned Jiang Man that powerful figures might target him and that activating the Evil God Method could let them lock onto Drunken Floating Life.
• Jiang Man cultivated until he reached late-stage True Immortal, then learned that Mu Kong was on a mission near the Moonlit Sect and exploring a secret realm with others.
• Ting Fengyin later helped Jiang Man accelerate his cultivation, and Jiang Man filled his Cultivation Gourd before Zhao Tiankuo reported that Mu Kong was missing from the Moonlit Sect.
• The Black Silhouette ordered Wang Jing, Wei Lin, and the third Heavenly Immortal to approach the Wuyun Sect and target Jiang Man, seeking information about Drunken Floating Life or a chance to draw it out.

Fang Yong received a mission to smuggle three Heavenly Immortals into the Wuyun Sect and agreed to investigate Jiang Man for three million Spirit Sources while he considered the more dangerous task. Jiang Man suspected the Heavenly Immortals were targeting him, planned to prepare for their arrival, and sent the Altar to investigate a disturbance in the Moonlit Sect's Secret Realm, where Mu Kong and others had disappeared.

• Teacher Yan told the Thirteen Small Courtyards that more people could compete for primordial spirit advancement, and An Rong, Cao Cheng, Wang Yan, and Fang Yong prepared to try.
• Fang Yong learned that one mission required him to hide three Heavenly Immortals inside the Wuyun Sect, while another offered three million Spirit Sources for long-term reports on Jiang Man.
• Fang Yong discussed both missions with Jiang Man, who asked him to learn the offered payment for the Heavenly Immortal mission and said they could prepare for it within five years.
• Fang Yong visited Little Fatty and Cheng Yu at the Outer Sect, where Cheng Yu explained that she made Fang Yong's favorite pastries to keep him mindful of her.
• Old Yellow Ox told Jiang Man that Mu Kong and others had vanished after turbulence swept through the Moonlit Sect's Secret Realm, and Jiang Man sent the Altar to investigate.
