• A puzzled voice called out, asking what they were doing.

As Qi Yan’s vitality nearly failed, Wang Ba poured his lifespan into Qi Yan’s bonded Black Ghost-Eyed Chi, and Qi Yan’s vitality surged in response.

• Wang Ba's intervention helped Qi Yan and the Ghost-Eyed Chi endure the tribulation, but Qi Yan fell unconscious and could not absorb Spiritual Qi.

Wang Ba captured Xu Mahayana, learned that he practiced a costly family divination technique, and brought him back to the Myriad Phenomena Sect. He studied the Little Six Ren Tongmiao Finger Method and related divination arts, then entered the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram to explore a way around the technique’s elusive flash of inspiration.

• Xu Mahayana confessed that he had used his family’s divination method to seek fortune, and he offered Wang Ba the incomplete Little Six Ren Tongmiao Finger Method.
• Wang Ba offered Xu Mahayana either cultivation resources or a place in his sect, and Xu Mahayana chose to return with him.
• Wang Ba examined the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s divination texts and concluded that the Little Six Ren Tongmiao Finger Method remained effective because it did not rely on altered celestial cycles.
• Wang Ba reached Entry in the method but still could not divine his own fortune, so he considered combining it with Stellar Numerology and the Nine Palaces.
• Wang Ba reached Entry in related divination methods and merged his consciousness with the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram.

Wang Ba combined the sect’s divination methods with the Little Six Ren Tongmiao Finger Method and created Zhou Tian Doushu, provoking a resonance between heaven and man. After testing the art on the creatures around him, he sent Wang Qingyang to Rongmeng City with the Profound Dragon Dao Soldiers and prepared to help the Mixed-Blood White Tiger.

• Wang Ba studied the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram and fused his divination knowledge into a new technique, which he named Zhou Tian Doushu.
• The technique’s creation triggered a resonance between heaven and man above the Myriad Phenomena Sect, drawing Jiang Yi’s astonishment and Han Yanzi’s wary attention.
• Wang Ba used Zhou Tian Doushu to read the auras of his spirit beasts, finding unusual signs around Sanjin, the Mixed-Blood White Tiger, and several others.
• After divining the Profound Dragon Dao Soldiers, Wang Ba refined them anew and sent Wang Qingyang to find the head of the Xiao Household in Rongmeng City.
• Wang Ba looked at the Mixed-Blood White Tiger and decided it was time to help it.

Wang Ba helped the White Tiger undergo its tribulation, which transformed it into a fifth-tier Divine Beast before it suddenly attacked him. Meanwhile, Wang Qingyang entered Rongmeng City in disguise to investigate the Xiao Household, but the city’s guards identified her as a suspected Gold Core cultivator.

• Wang Ba prepared the White Tiger for its tribulation, and it endured more than twenty bolts of Tribulation Lightning before its Inner Core faced the final strike.
• The White Tiger’s Inner Core split, its Primordial Spirit dispersed the thundercloud, and it became a fifth-tier Divine Beast with a purer bloodline.
• As Wang Ba approached to help it recover, the White Tiger lunged at him, and Wang Ba recognized that its bloody calamity had come to pass.
• Wang Qingyang asked a Ghost Market array guard about the Xiao Household and learned that it controlled Rongmeng City and had two Nascent Soul Cultivators.
• Wang Qingyang disguised herself as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and entered Rongmeng City after paying a bottle of Spirit Cuisine as her deposit.
• A city gate guard alerted a Gold Core cultivator, who used a bronze mirror to identify Wang Qingyang and smiled ominously.

Wang Qingyang investigated the Xiao Household in Rongmeng City, where she was nearly captured before the Primordial Sacred Sect attacked. As the sect seized the city and its Xiao Household cultivators, Wang Qingyang revealed overwhelming power, rescued the Xiao Household Head, and destroyed Wu Feng's body.

• Wang Qingyang found Wen Family and Crimson Blood Manor shops closed and learned that their people had gone to a sect treasure land, while the Xiao Household Head was reportedly in seclusion.
• Xiao Yanping and the red-faced Gold Core cultivator plotted to capture Wang Qingyang as a sacrifice for the Xiao Household Head's attempt to open the Mu Lian Family's Secret Cache.
• Four Gold Core cultivators confronted Wang Qingyang as she tried to leave Rongmeng City, but she agreed to meet the Xiao Household Head before a black palm shattered the city's defensive formation.
• The Primordial Sacred Sect invaded Rongmeng City, captured Xiao Yuanhai and many Xiao Household cultivators, and Wu Feng ordered the city sealed while the Xiao Household Head tried to escape.
• Wang Qingyang struck down the tall Demon Sect cultivator's attack, seized the Xiao Household Head, and tried to flee, but Wu Feng blocked her path.
• Wang Qingyang used lightning to destroy Wu Feng's blood-red tentacles and blast apart his body, then flew away with the Xiao Household Head.

Wang Qingyang returned to Rongmeng City with Xiao Xingde, only to discover that he had lured her into a trap to open the Mu Lian Family’s secret treasury. Shen Fu intervened, but Han Yanzi arrived to seize the treasures, and Wang Ba appeared to confront him.

• Wang Qingyang agreed to help Xiao Xingde retrieve a secret cache beneath Rongmeng City and considered asking her master to shelter him in Great Jin.
• Xiao Xingde trapped Wang Qingyang at the Moruo Colossal Elephant statue, but the Profound Dragon Dao Soldiers protected her from its blood-draining mechanism.
• Shen Fu arrived, and Wang Qingyang escaped the trap while Xiao Xingde was pinned to the statue and consumed as the treasury opened.
• Shen Fu captured several flying Law Treasures, while Wang Qingyang caught three more; Han Yanzi then appeared and overwhelmed her defenses.
• Wang Ba arrived and clashed with Han Yanzi over the treasures, and Han Yanzi recognized him with open hostility.

Wang Ba faced Han Yanzi in the underground cavern and forced him to retreat without either side securing a clear victory. Afterward, Wang Ba worried over Han Yanzi’s unexplained plans and revealed that he had obtained a treasure despite Wang Qingyang’s belief that their trip had failed.

• Wang Ba reunited with Wang Qingyang and Shen Fu, then exchanged a brief clash with Han Yanzi, who wondered at Wang Ba’s rapid growth and precise control of Law Power.
• Han Yanzi attacked Wang Ba with blood claws, but Wang Ba evaded them on the White Tiger and protected Wang Qingyang inside a Fifth Tier Law Treasure.
• Han Yanzi used blood Qi to trap Wang Ba and the White Tiger in an array, but withdrew his power when the Will of Heaven and Earth began to respond.
• Han Yanzi took Shen Fu and fled the cavern, while Wang Ba admitted that he had only forced Han Yanzi to abandon the fight rather than defeat him.
• Wang Ba speculated about Han Yanzi’s plans and reassured Wang Qingyang about Shen Fu, then revealed a glass bead containing nine embryonic phantoms of Moruo Colossal Elephants.

Han Yanzi entrusted Shen Fu with a fifth-tier Law Treasure and ordered him to gather intelligence on the True Martial Practitioners while the Primordial Demon Sect continued its campaign. At Myriad Laws Peak, Wang Ba uncovered a method for creating Mara Giant Elephant Dao Soldiers but could not condense their Dao Seeds, and Wang Qingyang ended the chapter with news that Wang Yi'an had reached Nascent Soul.

• Han Yanzi gave Shen Fu a Netherblack Treasure Cauldron and told him to use it to contend with Wang Ba if the opportunity arose.
• Han Yanzi learned that Wang Xu had killed several Third-Rank Evil Gods, ordered Shen Fu to track the True Martial Practitioners, and directed the sect to sweep Wind-Approaching Continent while sparing Great Jin.
• Wang Qingyang brought fourth-tier Law Treasures from Shen Fu and planned to send them to the Myriad Phenomena Treasure Vault for other sect members to use.
• Wang Ba divined the Mara Giant Elephant Dao Soldiers Refining Method and learned that its Dao Seeds could create Moruo Colossal Elephants, but he could not visualize the King of the Moro Colossal Elephants well enough to condense a seed.
• Wang Ba studied Primordial Demon Sect writings, found an account of Mu Lianchi's six Moruo Colossal Elephants, and wondered why the Dao Seeds could no longer be created.
• Wang Qingyang told Wang Ba that Wang Yi'an had passed his tribulation at sea and broken through to Nascent Soul.

Wang Ba learned that the Moruo Colossal Elephant King was a World Eater and experimented with planting its Dao Seed in a Spirit Chicken. As the seed drained the chicken and formed a cocoon, the day of Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang’s tribulations arrived.

• Wang Ba taught Wang Qingyang about her cultivation path and sent her to tell Bu Chan that her tribulation was approaching.
• Wang Ba searched Demon Sect records and the Myriad Phenomena Scripture Repository, where he found an ancient account that the Moruo Colossal Elephant King had been slain by True Person Sanhe.

• Wang Ba implanted a Moruo Colossal Elephant Dao Seed in a supreme fourth-tier Spirit Chicken and observed it drain the chicken’s vitality before forming a thick cocoon.
• The day of Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang’s tribulation transcendence arrived.

Wang Ba reunited with Wang Yi'an, then helped Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang overcome their Nascent Soul Tribulations. At a banquet celebrating their breakthroughs, Zhao Feng challenged Wang Ba to exchange a few moves.

• Wang Yi'an returned after decades away, reunited with Wang Ba, and felt relief when he learned Dafu was still alive.
• Wang Yi'an told Wang Ba about his travels with Zhao Feng, including strange lands and Fierce Beasts in the North Sea.
• Wang Ba supplied Bu Chan with Thunder Tribulation Stones, elixirs, and Spirit Cuisine, helping her smoothly enter the Nascent Soul realm before Wang Qingyang survived a more dangerous tribulation and also advanced.
• Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang received congratulations from across the sect, and Wang Qingyang was appointed a deacon of Heavenly Origin Hall.
• Wang Ba hosted a banquet with Zhao Feng and other acquaintances; the gathering remembered the absent Zhen Bo'en and toasted his memory.
• Zhao Feng asked Wang Ba to exchange a few moves for the banquet's amusement.

Zhao Feng and Wang Ba tested each other’s swordsmanship, but stopped before either revealed a winner, leaving Zhao Feng to realize how far his junior brother had advanced. After Wang Ba’s attempt to divine why his Dao Intent spirit beasts produced only dead eggs pointed toward the North Sea, he sent Ice Daoist there to seek a way forward for constructing his Daoist Grounds.

• Zhao Feng challenged Wang Ba to a spar and unleashed a torrent of sword-like water, while Wang Ba answered with a second torrent made from Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Arts.
• Zhao Feng dispersed his attack before the torrents collided, and Wang Ba followed suit; afterward, Zhao Feng concluded that he had no chance against Wang Ba and glimpsed the path toward Spirit Transformation.
• Zhao Feng sent Wang Yi'an to the North Sea to hunt three fourth-tier Fierce Beasts as punishment for lacking discernment, and Wang Yi'an inferred that his father had won.
• Wang Ba discovered that the eggs laid by Jia Ten Five after mating with the Big White Goose were all dead, then failed to divine why his Daoist Grounds could not progress.
• Wang Ba’s turtle-shell divination broke apart and formed a pattern resembling the character for north, leading him to suspect the North Sea Continent held a clue to breeding Dao Intent spirit beasts.
• Wang Ba sent Ice Daoist to the North Sea Continent with a Storage Law Artifact, and the Mara Giant Elephant Dao Seed inside the Fourth Tier Spirit Chicken stirred again a few days later.

Wang Ba raised a Moruo Colossal Elephant from an egg and tested whether lifespan or Yin-Yang Qi could transform it, then began experimenting with Yin-Yang Qi on another Dao Seed. Meanwhile, the Ice Daoist crossed the North Sea to North Sea Continent and found the remains of a bloody attack on newly built temples.

• Wang Ba watched a Moruo Colossal Elephant hatch, then fed and examined the newborn calf.
• Wang Ba supplied the calf with Spirit Beast flesh until it grew into a colossal elephant, but lifespan and Yin-Yang Qi failed to transform it.
• Wang Ba wondered whether a Dao Seed prevented bodily changes and injected Yin-Yang Qi into another Mara Giant Elephant Dao Seed.
• The Ice Daoist learned from the Dai Kingdom Ghost Market Garrison Commander that the True Martial Dao had emptied the region, then crossed the North Sea alone.
• The Ice Daoist reached North Sea Continent and found ruined temples, discarded monk robes and law artifacts, and human skin scattered among the wreckage.

Ice Daoist discovered the remains of Xituo Continent monks and followed a group fleeing three Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons. He rescued the survivors and hurled the sealed demons toward the Heaven-Rising Cold Current, where a gigantic Buddha hand struck at them.

• Ice Daoist found abandoned temples and human skins on the northern ice field, gathered the monks’ Law Artifacts, and buried their remains.
• Youping fled with a group of monks as three Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons devoured their protective golden light, and Ming'an sacrificed himself to buy them time.
• Youping hurled the surviving monks toward the northwest and prepared to face the demons, but Ice Daoist arrived and encased the creatures in a rapidly compressing ball of ice.
• Ice Daoist learned that Youping’s group was heading for the Heaven-Rising Cold Current and launched the cracked ice ball toward it.
• A gigantic golden Buddha hand emerged from the direction of the Heaven-Rising Cold Current and struck at the three demons.

Wang Ba’s second attempt to create a Moruo Colossal Elephant produced a female calf, but gathering tribulation clouds appeared over Myriad Laws Peak. Elsewhere, Ice Daoist learned how the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons devastated the Three Continents and followed Youping to the North Pole Ice Abyss, where a monk challenged their arrival without the Venerable’s approval.

• Wang Ba left a puppet and bloodline-purifying materials for the lonely Three-Legged Bird, which showed interest in the puppet after he departed.
• Wang Ba’s modified Moruo Colossal Elephant Dao Seed hatched into a female calf with reproductive organs, and dark clouds gathered over Myriad Laws Peak.
• Ice Daoist killed three Totem Beasts with help from a golden Buddha hand, then accepted Youping’s invitation to the Xituo Continent cultivators’ refuge.
• Youping told Ice Daoist that the Totem Beasts had turned on Tupi Continent’s cultivators, Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had emerged from them, and the surviving Xituo cultivators had fled to North Sea Continent.
• Youping led Ice Daoist to the North Pole Ice Abyss, where a bare-chested monk demanded to know who had authorized the visitor.

Wang Ba discovered that Moruo Colossal Elephants could strengthen themselves by devouring their own kind, but attempts to raise them outside a hidden space drew increasingly powerful Tribulation Lightning. After Elephant Forty-Nine developed a perfected Dao Opportunity, Wang Ba left to deal with Ice Daoist’s trouble and learned that Patriarch Dengyuan had rescued Youping’s group.

• A newly born Moruo Colossal Elephant calf was struck dead by Tribulation Lightning, and the adult elephant devoured its corpse, causing its Dao Intent to improve.
• Wang Ba raised two more elephants inside the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man’s hidden space, but one died when it faced Tribulation Lightning outside.
• Wang Ba let the adult elephant devour the dead elephants, subdued it after it attacked him, and named it Elephant Forty-Nine.
• After Elephant Forty-Nine devoured another corpse, golden markings appeared on its body and its Dao Intent became a perfected Dao Opportunity.
• Wang Ba received word that Ice Daoist was in trouble on the North Sea Continent and left for Great Jin after the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man declined to go.
• Ice Daoist asked Youping about a mysterious Venerable and a Late Spirit Transformation cultivator who had saved Youping’s group; Youping described the cultivator as Patriarch Dengyuan of the Qin Clan.

Wang Ba used Qin Shengyong’s ties to Qin Dengyuan to secure permission for Ice Daoist to enter the North Pole Ice Abyss. Ice Daoist descended to cultivate, but a voice warned him not to approach the Venerable’s dwelling.

• Wang Ba divined Ice Daoist’s journey and received Qin Shengyong, who requested access to the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s Teleportation Array for a Qin Clan cultivator seeking Spirit Transformation.
• Wang Ba hosted Qin Shengyong and revealed that monks from Xituo Continent remembered Qin Dengyuan for defeating World Eater avatars during the upheaval of the heavens.
• Ice Daoist asked Youping to arrange a meeting with Zhaojie so he could enter the North Pole Ice Abyss, and Zhaojie refused because the Venerable resided there.
• Wang Ba and Qin Shengyong appeared through Ice Daoist’s Vermilion Bird Command Token, and Qin Shengyong presented Qin Dengyuan’s portrait to remind Zhaojie and Youping of their debt to him.
• Zhaojie allowed Ice Daoist to enter the abyss on the condition that he not disturb the Venerable, and Ice Daoist descended as his cultivation insights deepened.
• A voice thundered at Ice Daoist to stop approaching the Venerable’s dwelling.

Wang Ba sent the gray ape on a journey north, where its perseverance awakened a great Buddhist light and led it to the monks of Xituo Continent. Recognized as the inheritor of Ciwu’s Yuan Void Formlessness, the ape was welcomed as a Buddha, while Ice Daoist gained access to the depths of the ice abyss and achieved a breakthrough.

• Wang Ba divined that Ciwu had foreseen the future and sent the gray ape north across the snowfields.
• Ice Daoist was barred from descending farther into the ice abyss by Zhaocheng, who guarded the Venerable’s dwelling.
• Zhaojie and the Xituo monks recognized the approaching golden light as Yuan Void Formlessness and gathered to welcome its inheritor.
• The monks discovered that the exhausted inheritor was a monkey, then accepted him as Ciwu’s chosen successor and channeled Buddhist light into him.
• Zhaocheng apologized to Ice Daoist and allowed him to descend into the ice abyss, where he cultivated until Dao Intent flowed and Dao Opportunity arose.

Wang Ba used the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram to help Ice Daoist deepen his Ice Dao comprehension in the North Pole Ice Abyss, where Ice Daoist perfected his Ice Soul Dao Opportunity and discovered the abyss was formed by the North Sea Black Tortoise. Ice Daoist and Wang Ba both heard the ancient voice of Xuanyuanzi, the Dark Tortoise True Spirit, who revealed himself and asked Ice Daoist for help.

• Wang Ba studied the North Star on the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram and sent its Ice Dao insights to Ice Daoist, spending most of his Yin Spirit Power.
• Ice Daoist absorbed the abyss's cold, perfected his Ice Soul Dao Opportunity, and came close to Spirit Transformation without attempting the tribulation.
• Ice Daoist sensed the abyss and its inhabitants as part of his surroundings, then heard an unseen speaker ask why he was leaving so soon.
• Wang Ba heard the same voice in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, searched with his Divine Sense, and found that his divination had become muddled again.
• Ice Daoist investigated deeper and saw that the abyss was a passage formed by the North Sea Black Tortoise's cold breath.
• Xuanyuanzi appeared on the Black Tortoise's brow, identified himself as its True Spirit, and asked Ice Daoist to lend him a hand.

Xuanyuanzi told Wang Ba how a dark tortoise became a powerful cultivator, merged with the Little Cang Realm, and was trapped there when it could not ascend. He asked Wang Ba to help him achieve Liberation by Violence.

• Xuanyuanzi moved Ice Daoist to his tea table and served him Cloud-Mist Heavenly Frost, which purified hidden emotions from his Divine Soul and helped his Ice Soul Dao Opportunity transform.
• Wang Ba appeared through the Vermilion Bird Command Token, drank the Sixth-Tier Spirit Tea without difficulty, and introduced himself to Xuanyuanzi.
• Xuanyuanzi explained that Qin Lin had been a Touching Dragon whose True Spirit entered the realm and reincarnated as a human.
• Xuanyuanzi described how a Fifth Tier dark tortoise regressed into a Dao Seed, died during its rebirth, and left a new True Spirit to cultivate until its body merged with the realm's laws.
• Xuanyuanzi revealed that he was the trapped dark tortoise and asked Wang Ba to help him achieve Liberation by Violence.

Wang Ba learned that Xuanyuanzi hoped he could eventually free him from his Dark Tortoise body, but Wang Ba’s attack could not pierce its blood-qi armor. Xuanyuanzi aided the Ice Daoist, whose Ice Soul Dao Domain formed before he ascended to face Spirit Transformation Tribulation Lightning.

• Xuanyuanzi explained that his body had imprisoned his True Spirit and that a great calamity from beyond the realm might arrive within five hundred years, with Wang Ba and the Little Cang Realm’s living beings at its center.
• Xuanyuanzi offered to strengthen Wang Ba’s incarnation, and Wang Ba agreed to test the Dark Tortoise’s defenses.
• Wang Ba’s nine-colored saber slash failed to leave a mark on the tortoise’s blood-qi armor, so he could not reach its body.
• Xuanyuanzi sent the Ice Daoist a spiritual pearl containing cultivation insights and cold-blossom essence, allowing him to form a Twenty-Four-Petal Ice Lotus and Ice Soul Dao Domain.
• The Ice Daoist said he could no longer suppress his breakthrough and rose from the Ice Abyss as Xuanyuanzi and the fifth-tier monks watched his Spirit Transformation Tribulation Lightning begin.

The Ice Daoist survived a powerful Fifth Tier tribulation, then froze the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons who arrived at the North Pole Ice Abyss. Wang Ba realized their bodies contained chaos substance that might solve Dao Intent Spirit Beasts’ breeding problem, used it on Jia Ten Five and Big White Goose, and then began a sudden breakthrough beneath the Emperor Willow and Jade Fire Parasol Tree.

• The Ice Daoist endured his Fifth Tier Tribulation Lightning, astonishing Zhaojie and the monks gathered at the North Pole Ice Abyss.
• Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons converged on the abyss, and the Ice Daoist froze them all at Wang Ba’s request.
• Wang Ba recognized that killing the demons yielded primal chaos source substance and gathered their remains into a mass of chaos Qi.
• Wang Ba split the chaos Qi between Jia Ten Five and Big White Goose, then returned beneath the two trees as his Dao Intents surged.
• Wang Ba’s presence rose to a new level, and vast amounts of Spiritual Qi rushed toward him.

After reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, Wang Ba considered the immense challenge of advancing his many cultivation paths and turned to raising Moruo Colossal Elephants. When Elephant Forty-Nine devoured two of them, he transformed, survived a tribulation, and awakened an ancient will bent on reopening the Moruo Great Dao through a blood sacrifice.

• Wang Ba advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and concluded that he would have to comprehend and fuse his many Dao Opportunities one by one.
• Wang Ba found that Jia Ten Five and the Big White Goose had developed a subtle aura resembling that of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.
• Five Moruo Colossal Elephant calves emerged from their Dao Seed hosts, but attempts to breed them failed, and Wang Ba released two males to Elephant Forty-Nine.
• Elephant Forty-Nine devoured both male elephants, developed elaborate Divine Patterns, and transformed into a flaming, gold-and-black colossal elephant.
• Wang Ba moved Elephant Forty-Nine to Zhongsheng Continent for his tribulation, during which the elephant advanced into the fifth-tier early stage and an ancient will awakened, declaring its plan to blood-sacrifice all living beings and reopen the Moruo Great Dao.
