He received valuable gifts from He the Drunkard, then discovered that two Hundred-Colored Stone Dragon Lizard hatchlings had unusual bloodlines and that one could exhale water.

• Song Dongyang questioned Wang Ba about the monthly records, then asked him to inspect them and teach the departments how to correct their mistakes at the next Assembly Meeting.

Wang Ba learned the Pure Dharma Heaven inheritance and tested the Great Sun Divine Body, but failed to sense the Golden Crow Qi it required, so he pursued the Thunder God Body instead. He reached Heaven's Extremity Peak to study tribulation lightning and Thunder Methods, where Uncle-Master Ding asked him to lose deliberately to his Foundation Establishment disciple, Ruan Ziyin.

• Qi Rulian explained the seven divine bodies of Pure Dharma Heaven and warned Wang Ba that the Great Sun Divine Body required a pure Dao heart while the Thunder God Body required repeated tribulation lightning.

Song Dongyang set out to search for Great Qi refugees, leaving Wang Ba in charge of the Earthly Treasures Hall’s affairs there, and Wang Ba recognized Wen Yong while reviewing the Ghost Market’s accounts.

The group prepared to delay the Myriad Gods Kingdom while hoping Song Dongyang returned soon, and the chapter ended with a muscular stranger arriving at the Myriad Phenomena Sect to treat Little Ma’s illness.

• Wang Ba crossed into the depopulated Song Kingdom and joined Tang Ji, Protector Jiang, and several fleeing Great Qi cultivators as four Myriad Gods Kingdom pursuers closed in.

After Song Dongyang reported that more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators had discovered him near the Shi-Lao border, Wang Ba’s deductions proved accurate, and the group faced an urgent rescue crisis.

• Song Dongyang sent a new message confirming that more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators had discovered his group near the Shi-Lao border.

Wang Ba ordered Song Dongyang to slow down and conceal his group while Tang Ji led reinforcements toward the teleportation array. The plan drew the pursuing Myriad Gods Kingdom cultivators back toward a clash in the Yan Kingdom, where Shen Fu was left alone after another Holy Son disappeared.

• Wang Ba correctly identified the incoming danger, but Song Dongyang refused to abandon the Great Qi cultivators he was escorting.
• Wang Ba told Song Dongyang to slow down and hide his strength, then set out with Tang Ji toward the Song Kingdom teleportation array.

After Yao Wudi arrived at Jade Emperor Peak, Wang Ba offered to take his master back to Song Kingdom, where the Mountain Ogre God was waiting for him.

• The Mountain Ogre God killed several Nascent Soul cultivators, and Song Dongyang prepared to detonate the Star Water Fou to buy Wang Ba time to escape.
• Wang Ba used a Nine Palaces Mark and a Jade Pendant to transport Song Dongyang to Jade Emperor Peak, while Tang Ji realized the stones avoided the Great Qi cultivators and warned the others to shelter beside them.

• Yao Wudi arrived at Jade Emperor Peak, learned that the Mountain Ogre God was attacking the others, and agreed to let Wang Ba take him there.
• The Mountain Ogre God sensed Wang Ba's return and was startled when Wang Ba appeared alongside Yao Wudi.

Yao Wudi rescued Wang Ba and the besieged cultivators, killed the Mountain Ogre God despite Senior Brother Pang’s warning, and explained Spirit Transformation and Gold Core cultivation to Wang Ba. After the Myriad Gods Kingdom demoted the Mountain Ogre God and discussed plans to expand against Great Yan, news arrived that Great Yan and the kingdom had begun fighting.

• Tang Ji received word that the Myriad Gods Kingdom and three Primordial Demon Sect Holy Sons had died in the Yan Kingdom, negotiations with Qin Ya had failed, and Liang Qiu Yu was coming; Yao Wudi eagerly welcomed news of the conflict.

Yao Wudi set off for Great Qi’s capital to pursue the sect’s secret realm, while Wang Ba helped inventory Great Qi’s treasures and selected resources for his cultivation and spirit beasts. In Fengcheng, Liang Qiu Yu forced the Black Bear God to reveal that Great Qi’s Imperial Clan members had been sent to Yujiang City.

• Wang Ba and Tang Ji suspected the fighting between the Myriad Gods Kingdom and the Primordial Demon Sect might be connected to Tang Ji’s Heavenly Thunder Seeds, but could not explain the coincidence.
• Yao Wudi announced that he would go to Great Qi’s capital to reclaim the secret realm, then took a Great Qi cultivator along to help him find his way.
• Song Dongyang assigned Tang Ji to strengthen defenses along the Chen Kingdom border and oversaw the inventory of Great Qi’s accumulated treasures.
• Song Dongyang told Wang Ba to take suitable items, and Wang Ba selected cultivation resources, a profound-ice spirit marrow cushion, and six Divine Void Beasts.
• In Fengcheng, Liang Qiu Yu defeated and threatened the Black Bear God until it revealed that Great Qi’s Imperial Clan members had been sent to Yujiang City.

Wang Ba watched the Wu Ape King defeat Dafu and reveal a powerful golden transformation before worrying about the group sent to the Song Kingdom. In the Yan Kingdom, Liang Qiu Yu arrived and ordered the Primordial Demon Sect to blame Great Jin rather than fight the Myriad Gods Kingdom, while Yao Wudi followed the Black Bear God through a Teleportation Array and froze at what he found.

• Song Dongyang watched Dafu attack the Wu Ape King, who used the Six-Armed Transformation to overpower him.
• Dafu unleashed a gray light at the Wu Ape King, who turned golden and made the attack vanish before shrinking back, astonishing Wang Ba and Song Dongyang.

Yao Wudi disguised himself as Liang Qiu Yu, seized Great Qi’s Secret Realms and hundreds of millions of people, and killed the Black Bear God before confronting the Myriad Gods Kingdom’s forces at Luojue Pass. After an ambush interrupted his negotiations with the Black Candle God, Yao Wudi returned to Wang Ba with a Secret Realm and a scroll for him.

• Yao Wudi used the Black Bear God’s authority to locate Chao Yunwen and Chao Kangzheng, then took both of their Secret Realms.
• Yao Wudi captured nearly a thousand Incense Dao cultivators and transferred the crowds of mortals at the Human Sacrifice Wheel into the Secret Realms.
• Yao Wudi killed the Black Bear God, who revived and reported him to the Mother God, prompting her to order an investigation.
• Liang Qiu Yu proposed an alliance to the Evil Gods at Luojue Pass, but two vessel-like Evil Gods exploded beside him after the Black Candle God blinded him.
• Yao Wudi returned to Jade Emperor Peak, gave Song Dongyang a Secret Realm, and brought Wang Ba aside with a scroll for him.

Liang Qiu Yu discovered that the Myriad Gods Kingdom had cursed him with a lifespan-draining millipede and fled, allowing its Evil Gods to invade the Yan Kingdom. Meanwhile, Wang Ba received a secret realm from Yao Wudi, claimed two Law Treasures, and learned of an Ancient Dao Opportunity in the Sen Kingdom as the Myriad Gods Kingdom’s offensive threatened to widen.

• Liang Qiu Yu concealed the millipede curse from Shen Fu, then realized it was consuming his lifespan and left the Yan Kingdom for the Sect.
• Black Candle God and the other Evil Gods learned that Liang Qiu Yu had fled and launched an invasion of the Yan Kingdom to seize its population.
• Yao Wudi gave Wang Ba a Scroll Painting Secret Realm containing mortals, Great Qi survivors, cultivation resources, and materials for the Wu Ape King’s ascension.
• Wang Ba subdued the Zen Shadow Robe with Bing-Ding Fire, accepted the cooperative Divine Light Shuttle, and began planning how to manage the secret realm’s inhabitants.
• Yao Wudi told Wang Ba that the Myriad Gods Kingdom had overrun more than half the Yan Kingdom, then took him to Jade Emperor Peak, where Song Dongyang reported an Ancient Dao Opportunity in the Sen Kingdom.

Yao Wudi confronted three powerful Evil Gods from the Myriad Gods Kingdom and rejected their attempt to claim Song Kingdom, while Song Dongyang and Tang Ji left to pursue an Ancient Dao Opportunity in Sen Kingdom. Wang Ba stayed behind to manage the three hundred million people Yao Wudi had rescued, and after arranging grain and supplies for them, he found an unfamiliar force strengthening his Yin God Divine Statue.

• Song Dongyang told Yao Wudi, Tang Ji, and Wang Ba that an Ancient Dao Opportunity had appeared in the Three Great Perilous Grounds in Sen Kingdom, and Yao Wudi gave Song Dongyang and Tang Ji permission to go seek it.
• Three Evil Gods led by Zhan Sha arrived at the border and proposed dividing the territory between Chen and Song; Yao Wudi rejected the proposal, and the sides made an oath after he demonstrated his strength.
• Song Dongyang and Tang Ji left for Sen Kingdom, while Wang Ba stayed to oversee the people and supplies in the Scroll Painting Secret Realm.
• Wang Ba recruited Shi Taihe of the Nine-Spirit Sect to provide grain and charcoal, giving him a beast-taming cultivation method in return.
