The Moruo Colossal Elephant King awakened in Elephant Forty-Nine’s body and tried to dominate Wang Ba, but Wang Ba defeated it by exploiting Elephant Forty-Nine’s resistance and extracting its True Spirit will.

After examining Elephant Forty-Nine and learning that Sword-Obsessed had escaped during the fall of Great Sui’s Imperial Capital, Wang Ba decided to go in person to help him.

• Sword-Obsessed and Lu Yu looked up as a world-surpassing Blade-Ray descended toward Banqiao City.

Wang Ba arrived at Banqiao City and stopped the True Martial army with a single saber strike, then subdued the tattoo-faced Martial Saint without killing him. As the Martial Ancestor appeared and respectfully addressed Wang Ba as his teacher, the confrontation took an unexpected turn.

• Wang Ba's Chaos One Saber carved a vast abyss through the True Martial army's path, and the strike's mysteries astonished Sword-Obsessed.

• Wang Xu said he hoped to return to Wang Ba's tutelage after accomplishing his goal, and Wang Ba told him to wait until he had truly let go.

Wang Ba left Emperor Pole Continent after meeting Wang Xu, who ordered the Martial Saint to conquer the continent while keeping the True Martial Sutra’s life-extending method secret. At the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Sword-Obsessed joined the sect and established Eight-Aspects Sword Peak, while Qu Shentong told Wang Ba he would soon have to become sect master.

Song Dongyang, a former Grand Chancellor left to die after his household was executed, was rescued by Wang Qingyang and awakened as the reincarnation of a Myriad Phenomena Sect senior. He chose to leave vengeance behind and returned to the sect, where he learned of his former companion Tang Ji and approached his mysterious teacher’s home.

• As Song Dongyang lay dying in his ancestral home, Wang Qingyang appeared and told him he was the reincarnation of a Half-Step Spirit Transformation senior from her sect.
• The Star Water Fou awakened Song Dongyang’s past-life memories and restored his vitality, allowing him to reach Foundation Establishment; he declined to avenge his family and left with Wang Qingyang.
• Wang Qingyang brought Song Dongyang into the Myriad Phenomena Sect, where he passed the Spirit Mirage Heart-Questioning Formation and received gifts from the sect’s cultivators.
• Tang Ji recognized Song Dongyang’s name and explained that they had once ventured together onto Wood-Forest Island, though Song Dongyang remembered nothing of him.
• Wang Qingyang explained that their teacher was the sect’s Deputy Sect Master, and she brought Song Dongyang to the plain, quiet Myriad Laws Peak to meet him.

Wang Ba guided Song Dongyang through the memories of his previous life, rescued him from a Heart Demon, and assigned him a long course of study while keeping him on the Star Dipper Scripture. After five sixty-year cycles passed, Wang Ba’s breeding efforts had produced a Dao Intent Spirit Beast, making construction of the Daoist Grounds possible.

• Wang Qingyang brought Song Dongyang into Wang Ba’s secret realm, where dense Spiritual Qi forced him to begin cultivating under Wang Ba’s guidance.
• Wang Ba restored Song Dongyang’s memories of his previous life, and Song Dongyang became confused about his identity as his past and present selves clashed.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect prepared to establish Daoist Grounds as Wang Ba began opening a space inside the boundary wall, only to face the Little Cang Realm’s crushing backlash. With the Ice Daoist slowing the collapse, Wang Ba called on several patriarchs for help as the space continued to destabilize.

• Ma Shengxu directed the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s members to clear and protect the grounds before the undertaking, while Han Jinyu went to welcome Liang Wuji, Xiong Zhaojing, and Qin Yunjian.
• Jiang Yi explained to Pang Xiu that establishing Daoist Grounds required Aperture Opening, Separating the Clear and Turbid, and Opening the Gate, and warned that a Dao Tribulation could bring World Eaters.
• Wang Ba arrived as the auspicious hour came and entered the membrane eye while Elder Jiying, Qi Yan, Tang Ji, and Shen Ying held it open.
• Wang Ba released Dao Domains into the cramped space and used his Thunder God Body to resist the Little Cang Realm’s backlash as the space expanded and began to collapse.
• The Ice Daoist appeared and froze the space to slow its collapse while Wang Ba merged the Dao Domains, then called on several patriarchs to lend him a hand.

The Primordial Demon Sect’s Supreme Elder investigated the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s activity and uncovered signs of a hidden secret behind Wang Xu’s evolving True Martial Sutra. Meanwhile, Wang Ba and the five patriarchs stabilized the Boundary Membrane space as he completed its aperture opening, but Patriarch Panji warned that something from beyond the world was approaching.

• The Supreme Elder questioned Shen Fu about the Myriad Phenomena Sect and learned it might be preparing to withdraw from the world, though the elder believed it had a hidden Void Refinement cultivator.
• The Supreme Elder compared the seventy-fifth True Martial Sutra with its sixty-eighth version, concluded that Wang Xu’s rapid revisions suggested either extraordinary insight or a great secret, and decided to watch the Myriad Phenomena Sect himself.
• Wang Ba summoned the five patriarchs, who coordinated their positions and helped stabilize the collapsing Boundary Membrane space while Ice Daoist froze damaged areas from outside.
• Wang Ba used the Mara Giant Elephant Dao Soldiers to strengthen his body, spread more than a thousand Dao Domains through the space, and completed the aperture-opening stage.
• Wang Ba prepared to separate the clear from the turbid with the Heavenfall Saber, but Patriarch Panji warned that something beyond this world was rapidly approaching.

Wang Ba and his allies fought a fifth-tier World Eater that broke through the Boundary Wall as he established Daoist Grounds, while the Boundary Membrane’s backlash threatened to collapse their space. More cultivators arrived to help, and Wang Ba left them to hold the space open as he prepared to face another approaching World Eater himself.

• A mantis-like World Eater tore through the Boundary Wall as Wang Ba established Daoist Grounds, and Elder Xumi struck it with a sword from outside the Membrane Eye.
• Wang Ba’s five fifth-tier divine beasts pinned down and wounded the World Eater, while Wang Ba used Divine Patterns to weaken it and strengthen the beasts.
• The Boundary Wall’s backlash grew powerful enough to destabilize the space, and Patriarch Panji warned that another World Eater was approaching.
• Ling Weizi, Qu Zhongqiu, Ding Chun, Xumi, Liang Wuji, Xiong Zhaojing, Qin Yunjian, and the veiled Qin woman entered the Membrane Eye to assist Wang Ba.
• Wang Ba asked the newcomers to hold the space open and said he would handle the World Eater.

Wang Ba defended the Boundary Membrane Space, killing three World Eaters whose deaths eased its collapse. After combining his Dragon-Elephant Dao Soldiers with the Ice Daoist’s help to defeat a powerful human-headed World Eater, he sensed an opportunity and struck into the chaotic mist with the Heavenfall Saber.

• A black-robed figure in the Western Sea asked the ink-black dragon to keep searching for a way to deal with the World Eaters, then wondered whether Dafu was still alive.
• Liang Wuji and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators took over supporting the collapsing Boundary Membrane Space while Wang Ba killed a fish-headed, pig-bodied World Eater in two strikes.
• Wang Ba killed the Mantis World Eater, and Patriarch Panji noticed that the boundary wall’s backlash eased after each World Eater died.
• A late-stage World Eater with a human head and blood-red tentacle hair broke through the boundary, shattered the formation, and attacked Wang Ba and the others.
• The Ice Daoist joined Wang Ba, who combined the Dragon-Elephant Dao Soldiers and destroyed the human-headed World Eater with one finger, stabilizing the space.
• Wang Ba sensed that the mist had become uniform, then formed the Heavenfall Saber and slashed into the chaotic mist.

Wang Ba created and stabilized the Daoist Grounds despite attacks from waves of World Eaters, including a colossal beast that was dragged away by an unseen monster outside the Boundary Membrane. After completing the grounds and claiming them, his Dao Domains merged and a chaos-colored thundercloud gathered above him, signaling his Spirit Transformation Tribulation.

• Wang Ba separated the clear and turbid Qi to form heaven and earth, then sent the five patriarchs and the other cultivators out so the unstable Daoist Grounds could settle.
• Wang Ba and Ice Daoist fought off identical batlike World Eaters, but a colossal World Eater forced its way through the Boundary Membrane and nearly overwhelmed them.
• An unseen creature dragged the colossal World Eater back outside, and Yaya and Dafu arrived; Wang Ba sent Dafu out again when its presence destabilized the grounds.
• Wang Ba stabilized the heaven and earth, completed Opening the Gate, and claimed ownership of the Daoist Grounds.
• Wang Ba's Dao Opportunities blossomed and his Dao Domains merged as a chaos-colored thundercloud gathered over the Membrane Eye.

Wang Ba endured the Chaos Profound Lightning and attained Spirit Transformation, forming a Primordial Spirit and a Ten Thousand Laws Xuanhuang Dao Domain. He then emerged beyond the Boundary Membrane to find Dafu and the Five-Colored Divine Deer fighting World Eaters, and fired a Crimson Arrow after a Red-Haired Monster seized the deer.

• The Primordial Demon Sect elder realized Wang Ba had concealed the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s weakness and summoned nine puppet-like Spirit Transformation cultivators in case Wang Ba survived his tribulation.
• Wang Ba’s Dao Domains merged into a chaos-colored sphere, and he weathered successive bolts of Chaos Profound Lightning as his Ten Thousand Laws Xuanhuang Dao Domain emerged.
• When Wang Ba’s Nascent Soul began to shrivel during its transformation, Dafu delivered Primal Chaos Source Substance, allowing Wang Ba to form his Primordial Spirit and survive the final bolts.
• Wang Ba sensed danger beyond the Boundary Membrane and found Dafu and the Five-Colored Divine Deer battling a massive Red-Haired Monster and other World Eaters.
• Wang Ba attacked the Red-Haired Monster and cleared nearby World Eaters, but the monster seized the Five-Colored Divine Deer, so Wang Ba drew a Crimson Arrow and aimed at it.

Wang Ba and his companions survived a World Eater attack, sealed the Boundary Membrane Rift, and named his new Daoist Grounds Taiyi. When Han Yanzi ambushed Wang Ba after he returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, an ancient voice from the Patriarch Ancestral Shrine intervened and identified itself as Hui Yunzi.

• Wang Ba and Dafu fought the Red-Haired Monster until a gigantic bird swept in and swallowed it, then turned its attention toward Dafu.
• As the bird plunged toward Dafu, Wang Ba used the Greater Celestial Circuit Escape-Dissolution Divine Ability to appear beside him; the Worn-Out Bell rang, and the bird abruptly fled.
• Wang Ba brought Dafu, Yaya, and the Five-Colored Divine Deer through the Boundary Membrane, used the Red-Haired Monster's remains to help close the Rift, and had Dafu guard the Daoist Grounds.
• Wang Ba named the grounds the Taiyi Daoist Grounds and returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, where Liang Wuji and the others congratulated him on reaching Spirit Transformation.
• Han Yanzi attacked Wang Ba with his Blood Sea Dao Domain, while his forces prepared to storm the Myriad Phenomena Sect; Wang Ba saved the Wu Ape King and narrowly evaded Han Yanzi's strike.
• A colorless streak shattered Han Yanzi's Blood Sea Dao Domain, and a voice from the Patriarch Ancestral Shrine revealed that Hui Yunzi was alive.

Hui Yunzi emerged from hiding to confront Han Yanzi, using his mastery of emotion to overwhelm him and destroy most of his substitute bodies. After Han Yanzi escaped and Hui Yunzi faced the lightning tribulation, Hui Yunzi explained to Wang Ba that he had planned to guide the sect’s escape before merging with the Tribulation-Crossing Treasure Raft, and Wang Ba asked whether he would try to ascend instead.

• Outside the world, Fanming abandoned his plan to return and eat his former master after spotting a pink rabbit he feared as a walking calamity.
• Hui Yunzi emerged from the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s Patriarch Ancestral Shrine, and the sect recognized him as its long-presumed-dead senior patriarch.
• Hui Yunzi attacked Han Yanzi by turning his emotions against him, while lightning struck and destroyed several of Han Yanzi’s substitute bodies.
• Han Yanzi escaped into the blood pool of the Primordial Demon Sect, where more of his bodies exploded; elsewhere, an eight-colored Sword Light struck a rogue cultivator who had been probing the sect.
• In the Taiyi Daoist Grounds, Hui Yunzi told Wang Ba he had feigned death to safeguard the Tribulation-Crossing Treasure Raft and asked Wang Ba to fill the Daoist Grounds with his Dao Domain after his death.
• Wang Ba asked Hui Yunzi whether he had considered attempting ascension again.

Wang Ba explored helping Hui Yunzi ascend outside the realm, but his dwindling lifespan and the threat of World Eaters forced him into dormancy instead. After Wang Ba returned to the sect, Sword-Obsessed reported that Ye Cangsheng might still be alive and had recovered much of his strength.

• Wang Ba proposed that Hui Yunzi ascend outside the realm and seek the Chongyuan Patriarch's help, but Hui Yunzi said a late-sixth-tier protector would be needed to hold off World Eaters.
• Hui Yunzi revealed his third-tier Dao Domain and warned Wang Ba to cut off Han Yanzi's escape routes before attempting to kill him.
• Wang Ba discovered that Hui Yunzi had only three to five years left and foresaw surging calamity when considering the enormous bird as his protector.
• Hui Yunzi learned of the coming Great Calamity and entered dormancy within the Daoist Grounds to preserve his remaining lifespan until a critical moment.
• Hui Yunzi told Wang Ba that the Supreme Refining Emotions Art was the key to merging his Ice Dao avatar and asked him to deal with Han Yanzi if an opportunity arose.
• Sword-Obsessed brought a captured Nascent Soul Cultivator to Pure Yang Palace and reported that Ye Cangsheng might still be alive with most of his strength restored.

Wang Ba warned the sect leaders that the Heaven and Earth Great Calamity was approaching, used divination to reveal dangers facing the Qin Clan and Liang Wuji, and urged the Myriad Phenomena Sect to close its gates and prepare. The chapter ended with Gong Xiyin receiving orders from Supreme Elder Han to return.

• Sword-Obsessed concluded that Ye Cangsheng controlled the rogue cultivators through the Suta Venerable Dharma, and the sect leaders discussed the danger this posed.
• Wang Ba warned Liang Wuji that the Heaven and Earth Great Calamity was real; Liang resolved to prepare the Longevity Sect, while Qin Yunjian relayed the warning to the Qin Clan.
• Wang Ba divined that the Qin Clan faced an inescapable calamity and urged it to relocate into the Myriad Phenomena Sect, but Qin Yunjian remained uncertain.
• Wang Ba divined that Liang Wuji also faced a calamity connected to his longevity-extending divine ability, while Xiong Zhaojing appeared to have an accomplished expert protecting him.
• Wang Ba persuaded the Myriad Phenomena Sect to close its gates, prepare for the great calamity, and avoid confronting True Martial; he then postponed taking over as sect master until after the crisis.
• In the East Sea, Gong Xiyin reported on True Martial to the black-clad youth, then received a summons ordering him to return to Supreme Elder Han.

Shen Fu gave Gong Xiyin a pair of linked talismans, but Han Yanzi attacked Gong before he could reach Emperor Pole Continent, prompting Shen Fu to set out after learning of the betrayal. After comforting Bu Chan and assessing his divine beasts, Wang Ba left Myriad Laws Peak with the Ice Daoist and Wu Ape King to investigate a possible connection to the world beyond the realm.

• Gong Xiyin told Shen Fu that Supreme Elder Han had summoned him, and Shen Fu urged him to delay while suspecting the order was unusual.
• Shen Fu forged Yin and Yang Talismans for Gong Xiyin, secretly giving them a use beyond communication, and Gong set off toward Emperor Pole Continent.
• Han Yanzi ambushed Gong Xiyin and enveloped him in a bloody shadow; Gong warned Shen Fu to watch out for Han Yanzi before the message cut off and Gong was consumed.
• Shen Fu realized Gong Xiyin had trusted him and flew northwest to confront Han Yanzi.
• Wang Ba comforted Bu Chan after his dangerous tribulation, then considered his divine beasts’ growth and their possible connection to the world beyond the realm.
• Wang Ba left Myriad Laws Peak with the Ice Daoist and Wu Ape King to visit someone he believed might offer answers.

Wang Ba sought Xuanyuanzi's guidance on World Eaters and primal chaos source substance, receiving a rare ore and warnings about their effects on ascension. After leaving the Ice Daoist with Xuanyuanzi, he learned of a pagoda that could aid the Wu Ape King's cultivation and took Zhaojie away on another errand first.

• Wang Ba tested his full strength against Xuanyuanzi's turtle body but failed to pierce its outer protection, and Xuanyuanzi gave him seventh-tier cold netherstone to improve the Heavenfall Saber.
• Xuanyuanzi explained how declining worlds attracted World Eaters and offered opportunities for rapid cultivation, while his account of reincarnated Primordial Gods and Devils made Wang Ba suspect Qian Baimao's origins.
• Xuanyuanzi proposed that Ascension Tribulation maintained the Boundary Sea's stability by relocating powerful beings, and warned that absorbing primal chaos source substance could cause ascension to send them to an unsuitable world.
• Xuanyuanzi taught Wang Ba how to order the flawed Dao Intent in consumed World Eaters and kept the Ice Daoist to nurture Wang Ba's law treasure and perfect the incarnation's Dao Domain.
• Wang Ba brought the Wu Ape King to Great Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, where Zhaojie revealed that the Ten-Thousand-Buddha Śarīra Pagoda on Xituo Continent could aid his cultivation.
• Wang Ba agreed to take Zhaojie on the journey but teleported away with him to visit another place first.

Wang Ba met Yuan Magnetism Rail Man beneath the Eightfold Sea and learned that his incarnation was trapped as the Boundary Membrane assimilated his Dao Domain. Summoned by the Myriad Gods Kingdom, Wang Ba agreed to approach Hui Yunzi about an alliance but instead accepted the kingdom’s resources and left without contacting him, judging that the kingdom’s role was nearly over.

• Wang Ba and Zhaojie visited Yuan Magnetism Rail Man, who explained that filling the True Membrane Eye had strengthened his Dao Domain but trapped him in a process that would eventually assimilate him into the realm.
• Wang Ba answered Mother God's summons and saw that the True Martial Army had cornered the Myriad Gods Kingdom; Mother God showed him how Wang Xu had used the evil gods to temper himself.
• Mother God asked Wang Ba to persuade Hui Yunzi to ally with the Myriad Gods Kingdom against True Martial, and Wang Ba agreed while requesting a means of escape.
• Mother God infused Wang Ba with incense power and learned that Yin God had reached the God Lord level.
• Wang Ba persuaded Mother God to send cultivation resources to Hui Yunzi as a gesture of goodwill, then left without approaching Hui Yunzi and arranged to receive the gifts himself.

Wang Ba and Zhaojie reached Tupi Continent and found it stripped of Spiritual Qi, with its civilization reduced to scattered tribes of savage descendants. As they headed toward Xituo Continent, Wang Ba spotted a familiar flash of flame and realized someone was firing a cannon.

• Zhaojie explained that they had to cross Tupi Continent to reach Xituo Continent, and Wang Ba flew there with him.
• Wang Ba and Zhaojie found Tupi Continent covered in forest but devoid of Spiritual Qi, then discovered surviving natives who had lost their former civilization.
• Wang Ba used his yin spirit power to learn that the tribe descended from cultivators who had survived the flood at sea, where famine and isolation erased much of their language and heritage.
• Wang Ba and Zhaojie passed other scattered tribes and concluded that Tupi Continent's civilization and natural resources had been destroyed.
• Wang Ba saw explosions in a coastal forest and recognized the weapon causing them as a cannon.

Wang Ba and Zhaojie discovered that Daosheng Continent had become a steam-powered archipelago where the Mother God secretly gathered incense through placenta statues. Wang Ba recognized her plan to use the conflict between True Martial and the Myriad Gods Kingdom as cover for her revival, left a Vermilion Bird Command Token behind, and flew north with Zhaojie toward a faint golden light.

• Wang Ba and Zhaojie watched Daosheng Continent descendants use cannons to capture Totem Beasts from the people of Tupi Continent, then learned that cultivation had vanished there and that steam technology had developed in its absence.
• Wang Ba sensed that the Heaven and Earth Laws of Daosheng Continent and Tupi Continent differed from those of other continents, possibly restricting mortal technology where Spiritual Qi remained.
• Wang Ba and Zhaojie reached Daosheng Continent and saw that it was largely submerged, with islands connected by waterways, busy ports, steamships, trains, and other signs of mortal industry.
• Wang Ba spotted placenta statues on the islands collecting incense and realized they were Mother God statues that also calmed the waves around the settlements.
• Wang Ba inferred that the Mother God had shifted her focus to Daosheng Continent so she could revive there even if True Martial attacked the Myriad Gods Kingdom, while the Myriad Phenomena Sect distracted her enemies.
• Wang Ba silently dropped a Vermilion Bird Command Token into the water, reflected that the Mother God might be acceptable if she were truly fair and selfless, and flew north with Zhaojie toward a faint golden light.

Wang Ba and Zhaojie traveled through Xituo Continent, discovered how the Great Flood and an invisible force had depleted its Spiritual Qi, and awakened the Ten-Thousand-Buddha Śarīra Pagoda. They pursued the pagoda north and found a seated monk at the source of the golden light, whom Zhaojie recognized as Venerable Xinyuan.

• Wang Ba and Zhaojie sensed an increasingly strong force draining Spiritual Qi and Law Power as they approached Xituo Continent.
• Zhaojie explained how Buddha kingdoms had formed and visited the surviving Vannana Buddha Kingdom, where residents told them how monks and mortals had endured the Great Flood.
• Wang Ba and Zhaojie learned that Xituo Continent’s Spiritual Qi had been draining for more than seven hundred years, possibly killing the powerful monks who stayed behind to save people.
• Zhaojie led Wang Ba to the Great Wheel Buddha Kingdom, where they found the Ten-Thousand-Buddha Śarīra Pagoda behind the enormous Buddha statue.
• Zhaojie recited scripture, causing the pagoda to shed its stone covering and reveal powerful purple-gold Law Power before it flew north.
• Wang Ba and Zhaojie pursued the pagoda and saw a monk seated at the source of the golden light; Zhaojie recognized him as Venerable Xinyuan.
