• Jiang Man abruptly stopped cultivating and told Old Yellow Ox that he had a bad feeling, but Old Yellow Ox suggested luck might be coming.

Tantai Xiaotian warned Tantai Xue that Zhulong’s arrival was drawing hidden dangers into the open and increasing the importance of the Immortal Dao Coordinates.

At the Nine Luminaries Sect, Jiang Man learned that Immortal Gate experts had damaged the ancient Sun-Moon Star Grand Formation while trying to analyze it.

• Jiang Man had the Bai Family Ancestor answer the delegation’s cultivation questions after everyone paid him thirty thousand spirit source, and Ji An realized the elder was genuinely giving them an opportunity.

• Zhao Qingyi’s aura surged after the treatment, and she attained a new understanding of the Dao while Jiang Man used a Mountains and Rivers Mark to protect the ground below.
• A month later, Jiang Man and the delegation reached the Nine Luminaries Sect, where Peak Master Hu welcomed Zhao Qingyi and noticed her new attainment.
• Jiang Man saw the Sun-Moon Star Grand Formation’s motionless light and wanted to touch its foundation stone, while the Bai Family Ancestor explained that Immortal Gate experts had interfered with and damaged the formation.

Jiang Man learned that the damaged formation beneath the Nine Luminaries Sect would begin turning again within a month, potentially freeing the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, and discovered that the Immortal Gate had secretly sent an unidentified expert. He considered impersonating that envoy and contacted the Mountain-Suppressing Office, where three officials realized someone else had already confirmed the information.

• Hei Li told Liu Li and their companion that the Heavenly Demon Clan intended to let the Path Pursuers' summoning fail, then claim the ancient demon sage's power and knowledge for their own new system.
• Jiang Man touched the Formation Arts Foundation Stone and learned through the Heavenly Mirror of a Hundred Books that it was a damaged Dao Wheel suppressing the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, which might emerge when the formation turned again.
• The Bai Family Ancestor said the formation would begin turning within a month, and Jiang Man learned from the Drunken Floating Life Token that the Path Pursuers planned a summoning at the sect while an unidentified Immortal Gate powerhouse was on the way.

As the Nine Luminaries Sect and its allies prepared for the crisis, the Bai Family Ancestor suggested Jiang Man impersonate someone, while Hei Li’s group received a mission to kill him.

• Seven days later, Ji An, Fang Yong, Fang Zheng, Zhao Qingyi, and others headed to the plaza for the Immortal Gate’s lecture on the Dao.

During a discourse on the Dao, the Sun-Moon Star Grand Formation revived, prompting the Nine Luminaries Sect to evacuate everyone and exposing hidden demons, Evil Gods, and other forces. The Bai Family Ancestor opened the Ancestral Dragon Seal and sent Jiang Man, Tantai Xue, and the Water God inside, warning Jiang Man to kill a particular enemy before the seal released him in seven months.

• Ji An concluded that the Ascension Stage cultivator who had guided them earlier was a concealed top expert of the Immortal Gate, and Zhao Qingyi realized her earlier choice had brought her a breakthrough.
• The Sun-Moon Star Grand Formation absorbed Dao Resonance and fully activated, causing Immortal Maiden Zhaoyue and the sect leaders to order a complete evacuation.
• The Nine Luminaries Sect teleported its people away, leaving the plaza clear and exposing the three Heavenly Demons, hidden Evil Gods, Path Pursuers, and other unidentified people.
• Jiang Man, Tantai Xue, and the Water God waited outside the formation while the Water God sensed eight weak Evil Gods and Jiang Man considered whether the Ancestral Dragon possessed recordable treasures.

• The Bai Family Ancestor told Jiang Man to kill a specific person inside and warned that the seal would last seven months, then sent Jiang Man, Tantai Xue, and the Water God onto the chessboard.

Jiang Man and the others entered the Sun-Moon Star Grand Formation to find the Ancestral Dragon, while Zhao Qingyi learned about the dangers his emergence could bring and stayed behind to contain the formation’s effects.

• Jiang Man and the others entered the formation, followed by Elder Ce, the Heavenly Demon trio, and other cultivators.

• The group entered the largest bubble and landed in the True Dragon Ancestral Land, where Water God identified the surrounding sea as the True Dragon Sea.
• Ji Hao led the group to a stone stele marked “East Sea” and “None but the Dragon Clan may enter,” and Jiang Man touched it.

Jiang Man and his companions collected treasures in the Primordial Ancestral Land and found the entrance to its sealed core, where spatially shifting roads separated them. Jiang Man encountered the Xiang Family Ancestor, an Ascension Stage expert who challenged him to come back and kill him, while outside the Bai Family Ancestor feared the situation was worsening.

• Tantai Xue extracted true dragon aura from a stone stele and shared it with Jiang Man and Ji Hao, then broke an illusion so they could collect spirit medicines.

• The Bai Family Ancestor told Zhao Qingyi that the situation looked ominous and worried that it might become as bad as when Zhulong appeared.

Jiang Man entered the Seven Extremes Seal with the Xiang Family ancestor and He Shuang, learned that the Dragon Pearls concealed a trap laid by the Ancestral Dragon, and discovered that the Ancestral Dragon planned to use those who entered as substitutes. Three days later, Qing Dai reached the deserted Old Nine Luminaries Sect and learned that the Heavenly Secrets around the crisis remained in chaos.

• Jiang Man encountered the Xiang Family ancestor and He Shuang at the seven-gated platform, claimed to be a True Immortal Early Stage and the Sect Master of the Wuyun Sect, and took charge of their group.
• The Xiang Family ancestor explained that the Ancestral Dragon was trapped above the Seven Extremes Seal, while Jiang Man learned that the Dragon Pearl could let the Ancestral Dragon control anyone who refined it.
• Jiang Man and his companions reached an ancient bronze gate, where he identified the Dragon Pearl and refused to refine it himself, suggesting the Xiang Family ancestor do so instead.
• The Ancestral Dragon told a young man that the Dragon Pearls would make those who refined them his substitutes, and ordered him to approach the three people carrying things from the ancestral land.
• Qing Dai arrived at the deserted Old Nine Luminaries Sect, met the Bai Family Ancestor, and heard that his divination had left the Heavenly Secrets in chaos.

The Bai Family Ancestor investigated the danger beneath the seal while Jiang Man, the Xiang Family Ancestor, and He Shuang entered it and confronted the Dragon Clan. After Jiang Man and Tantai Xue defeated the Dragon Clan’s avatars and Ji Hao subdued another, the group reached the Seven Extremes Seal, where Jiang Man examined its origins.
