• Chen Yu asked Yan Ruyu about the Azure Emperor Weapon, and she explained that it had been lost and might be buried in the ancestor’s tomb.

• The Azure Emperor Lineage swiftly gathered the items Chen Yu requested.

Chen Yu staged a convincing divination and claimed to have located the Qing Emperor's Tomb, earning greater respect from the Azure Emperor Lineage. He traveled with Yan Ruyu to Yan Kingdom and reunited with his young disciple Jiang Tingting in Qingfeng Town.

• Chen Yu and Yan Ruyu visited Old Uncle Jiang at the tavern, and Jiang Tingting rushed out of seclusion to greet her teacher.
• Jiang Tingting politely greeted Yan Ruyu, who praised the young girl's cuteness.

Chen Yu introduced Jiang Tingting to Yan Ruyu, who recognized the girl’s rare Taiyin Physique and warned that its bearers usually died by twenty. Chen Yu said he had a divine fruit prepared to extend her life, while Yan Ruyu reflected on his unusual lack of ambition for the imperial path.

• Jiang Tingting thanked Chen Yu and promised to cultivate diligently, and he encouraged her to become a Great Empress.
• Yan Ruyu considered Chen Yu’s humble manner and wondered whether he lacked imperial ambitions or had another reason for concealing them.

Chen Yu explained why he wanted to avoid competing for the Great Emperor’s path and instead planned to become immortal through the system, a powerful physique, and eventually the Immortal Domain. He identified Spirit Ruins Paradise as the likeliest location of Qing Emperor’s Tomb and left Yan Ruyu considering his lead.

• Chen Yu told Yan Ruyu that Spirit Ruins Paradise, with its ruins of the Ancient Demon Court, was the most likely location of Qing Emperor’s Tomb.
• Yan Ruyu considered Chen Yu’s deduction and agreed that Spirit Ruins Paradise was a plausible lead.

Chen Yu cultivated to the Divine Bridge Realm, gave Yan Ruyu a purple hairpin, and gained a weak Azure Emperor Bloodline through his check-in ability. They traveled to Spirit Ruins Paradise, where Yan Ruyu sensed a trace of her ancestor’s presence.

• Yan Ruyu sensed a trace of her ancestor’s presence within the paradise’s ancient ruins.

Chen Yu confirmed that Qing Emperor's Tomb lay near Spirit Ruins Paradise and left its exploration to Yan Ruyu and the Azure Emperor Lineage. He then visited Ye Fan and Pang Bo at Spirit Ruins Paradise, where they joyfully recognized him.

• Ye Fan and Pang Bo wondered who had come to see them while they cultivated on the rear mountain.
• Ye Fan and Pang Bo recognized Chen Yu and greeted him with excitement.

Chen Yu reunited with Pang Bo and Ye Fan at the Spirit Ruins Paradise and shared Earth food and drinks with them. As homesickness overtook the pair, Chen Yu said he might take them back if he became a Saint, leaving them eager to know how long that would take.

• Pang Bo and Ye Fan complained to Chen Yu about their bland meals at the Spirit Ruins Paradise, and Chen Yu brought out a lavish spread of Earth food and drinks.
• Ye Fan asked how Chen Yu had kept the food fresh, and Chen Yu explained that he stored it in a refrigerator in his Bitter Sea.
• Pang Bo and Ye Fan drank with Chen Yu, then became emotional as they thought of their families back on Earth.
• Ye Fan asked whether Chen Yu could send them home, but Chen Yu said only ancient sages could cross the starry sky.
• Chen Yu suggested they wait until he became a Saint and could take them back, prompting Pang Bo to ask how long it would take him to reach that realm.

Chen Yu used a cross-domain altar to send reassuring messages to Ye Fan and Pang Bo’s families on Earth. A few days later, a reply reported that Ye Fan’s family was doing well, but Pang Bo’s home held a startling mystery.

• Ye Fan and Pang Bo asked Chen Yu how long it would take him to become a Saint so their parents might see them again, and Chen Yu estimated fifty years.
• Chen Yu revealed a family altar that could send messages to Earth, and Ye Fan and Pang Bo asked him to reassure their parents that they were safe.
• Chen Yu activated the altar with a piece of Source and sent their messages across domains.
• A few days later, Chen Yu received a reply saying Ye Fan’s family was fine but Pang Bo’s situation was unusual.
• Pang Bo learned that another version of him was at home and reacted with shock.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo learned that their parents were safe on Earth, though a demon was impersonating Pang Bo at home. Chen Yu helped them send messages to their families, then settled in at their thatched huts to cultivate while waiting for news from the Qing Emperor’s Tomb.

• Chen Yu told Pang Bo that a demon was living as him at home, and Pang Bo chose not to have it driven away so his parents would remain undisturbed.

• Wu Qingfeng visited Chen Yu, was impressed by his cultivation and understanding of the Dao, and dismissed suspicions that he had ulterior motives.
• Chen Yu gave Wu Qingfeng a piece of Source as payment for his temporary stay at Spirit Ruins Paradise.

Chen Yu helped Ye Fan open his Bitter Sea with Source while cultivating in the thatched cottage, and his own cultivation reached the peak of Divine Bridge. The quiet was broken when Han Feiyu arrived with a group, planning to find leverage against Ye Fan and Pang Bo so his uncle could act against them.

• Wu Qingfeng accepted Source from Chen Yu as thanks for looking after Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
• Yan Ruyu brought news that the Azure Emperor Lineage was still unable to open the Qing Emperor's Tomb, so Chen Yu continued cultivating and guiding Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
• Chen Yu gave Ye Fan Source, which enabled him to open his Bitter Sea.
• Over several months, Chen Yu completed his Divine Bridge and reached the realm's pinnacle.
• Han Feiyu arrived at the thatched cottage and explained that he wanted to find something to use against Ye Fan and Pang Bo so his uncle could target them.

Chen Yu discovered Han Feiyu’s plot to use a hidden visitor as an excuse to expel Ye Fan, then captured Han Feiyu and his companions and killed Elder Han. He set out to deal with Han Feiyu’s grandfather next.

• Han Feiyu planned to frame Chen Yu as a spy so his uncle could use the accusation to target Ye Fan.
• Chen Yu appeared behind Han Feiyu and his companions, defeated them, seized Han Feiyu’s wooden seal, and captured them.
• Chen Yu attacked Elder Han, overpowered him, and killed him.
• After finding little of value among Elder Han’s possessions, Chen Yu remembered Han Feiyu’s grandfather and went to seek him out.

Chen Yu left Ye Fan and Pang Bo after eliminating Han Feiyu’s family, then joined Yan Ruyu and the Azure Emperor Lineage as they waited for Qing Emperor’s Tomb to open. Months later, the sealed mausoleum began emerging beneath the ruins, but the group could only watch as it broke free on its own.

• Chen Yu told Ye Fan and Pang Bo that Han Feiyu’s family had been dealt with, gave them the elders’ belongings, and left without revealing his role to others.
• Chen Yu refused Elder Qing’s request to divine the entrance to Qing Emperor’s Tomb, but predicted it would open within a few months or years.
• After two or three months of failed efforts, a thunderous sound shook the ruins behind Spirit Ruins Paradise, and the Azure Emperor Lineage recognized it as the mausoleum emerging.
• The ruins split to reveal magma, a magnificent hall, and overwhelming imperial might beneath the surface.
• Elder Qing tried to pull out the Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum, but her efforts failed, leaving the group to wait for it to emerge on its own.

Chen Yu entered the Azure Emperor's Mausoleum Tomb and obtained Fortune Jade Liquid through a check-in, which could restore damaged spiritual roots. As sentient divine weapons scattered from the opened tomb, he spotted Ye Fan and Duan De before grabbing Duan De and asking him to stay.

• Chen Yu told the Azure Emperor Lineage to lie low while human cultivators and powerful factions gathered outside the mausoleum.
• The tomb opened amid the arrival of cultivators from Spirit Ruins Paradise and the great holy lands, and Chen Yu quietly searched for a check-in opportunity.
• Chen Yu checked in and received Fortune Jade Liquid, which could heal Dao injuries and restore spiritual roots that retained a trace of life.
• Chen Yu noticed Ye Fan trying to collect sentient divine weapons while Duan De repeatedly snatched them away.
• Duan De prepared to leave, but Chen Yu grabbed his shoulder and said, "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

Chen Yu intervened when Duan De took Ye Fan’s awakened weapons, then let the Daoist leave and gained the Source Emperor Scripture through a check-in. After Ye Fan revealed Pang Bo had been targeted by an old demon and handed over a golden page, Chen Yu identified it as the Dao Scripture’s Sea of Bitterness chapter and read it with the Bodhi Heart.

• Chen Yu appeared behind Duan De and criticized him for bullying Ye Fan, but let him depart after Duan De offered an excuse for taking the weapons.
• Chen Yu told Ye Fan that fighting Duan De was not worthwhile and gained the Source Emperor Scripture through a check-in.
• Ye Fan told Chen Yu that an old demon had targeted Pang Bo and asked him to save his friend.
• Ye Fan gave Chen Yu a golden page Pang Bo had entrusted to him, and Chen Yu identified it as the Sea of Bitterness chapter of the Dao Scripture.
• Chen Yu used the Bodhi Heart to read the page, gained a Human Origin Fruit through a check-in, and returned the now-blank page to Ye Fan.

Chen Yu gave Ye Fan the complete Sea of Bitterness Chapter of the Dao Scripture and returned to Yan Ruyu as the Azure Emperor Weapon emerged. Yan Ruyu’s lineage reclaimed the weapon and awakened the Qing Emperor’s Heart, leaving her with a path toward becoming an emperor.

• Chen Yu transmitted the genuine Sea of Bitterness Chapter of the Dao Scripture to Ye Fan and urged him to leave, but Ye Fan continued into the Demon Emperor’s Tomb and found the green copper again.
• Chen Yu reunited with Yan Ruyu, who confirmed that her group had prepared the Treasure Gathering Basin and other arrangements to retrieve the Azure Emperor Weapon.
• The Azure Emperor Weapon emerged, and Yan Ruyu’s group used the Treasure Gathering Basin to seize it before teleporting away.

• Elder Qing congratulated Yan Ruyu and said the Great Emperor’s Saint’s Heart had prepared her path to emperorship.

Yan Ruyu’s group prepared to return with the Azure Emperor’s weapon and Qing Emperor’s Heart, while warning that the gathered forces might try to intercept them. Pang Bo’s body, possessed by the old demon, reunited with them, and Chen Yu confronted him with saintly might after learning he had taken over his friend.

• Yan Ruyu said the group needed to bring the Emperor Weapon and Saint’s Heart safely back to their stronghold before considering themselves secure.
• The old demon arrived in Pang Bo’s body, and Yan Ruyu asked about his condition and ability to suppress Pang Bo.
• When Chen Yu called Pang Bo’s name, Pang Bo’s consciousness stirred briefly, but the old demon regained control and challenged Chen Yu’s origins.
• Chen Yu unleashed the Saint’s forbidden artifact’s might, terrifying the old demon and everyone present.
• Yan Ruyu intervened to calm Chen Yu, who then asked the old demon to show mercy to Pang Bo.
• The old demon refused to give up Pang Bo’s body, calling it a rare physique prized by demons.

Chen Yu and Yan Ruyu persuaded the old demon to leave Pang Bo’s body by offering him a life-extending medicine. After receiving a Human Origin Fruit, the old demon transferred into another prepared body, while Yan Ruyu questioned Chen Yu’s generosity.

• The old demon refused to leave Pang Bo’s body unless Chen Yu found him a suitable replacement, and Chen Yu threatened to kill him.
• Yan Ruyu explained that possessing Pang Bo’s rare body would not restore the old demon’s lifespan or let him fully use its talents.
• Yan Ruyu offered to find life-extending medicine in the Azure Emperor Lineage’s treasury, but the old demon doubted any remained and suspected she wanted to challenge his leadership.
• Chen Yu produced a Human Origin Fruit that could extend a Mighty Figure’s life by a hundred years and offered it in exchange for Pang Bo’s body.
• The old demon accepted the Human Origin Fruit, left Pang Bo’s body, and entered another body prepared in advance.
• Yan Ruyu told Chen Yu that he had been far too generous with such a precious divine treasure.

Chen Yu returned to the Profound Origin Sect and gained two treasures by checking in at the Azure Emperor Weapon and the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart. He used the Origin Blood of All Things to refine his Void Emperor blood, bringing it to the level of a true imperial scion.

• Chen Yu dismissed Elder Qing's regret over giving away the Human Origin Fruit and returned to the Profound Origin Sect with Yan Ruyu and the others.
• The old demon searched for a new body while Chen Yu and Yan Ruyu studied the Azure Emperor Weapon and the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.
• Chen Yu checked in at the Azure Emperor Weapon and obtained a Fortune Mark that could awaken spiritual objects into living beings.
• Chen Yu checked in at the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart and obtained the Origin Blood of All Things.
• Chen Yu swallowed a drop of the Origin Blood of All Things, which awakened and elevated his Void Emperor blood to the level of a true imperial scion.

Chen Yu used the Origin Blood of All Things to restore his Divine Body and evolve it into a Divine King Body, while restraining the Void Emperor Blood from advancing too far. When the Divine Body reached its limit, he applied his Sacred Body Origin to himself, beginning another transformation.

• Chen Yu directed the Origin Blood of All Things toward his Divine Body, restoring its incomplete origin while keeping his Void Emperor Blood from becoming identical to the Void Emperor's.
• Chen Yu consumed two more drops of Origin Blood of All Things, transforming his Divine Body into a Divine King Body whose bloodline surpassed the Void Emperor Blood in strength.
• Chen Yu realized his Divine Body had reached the highest limit it could attain and feared the remaining power would either intensify his imperial bloodline or wastefully develop his other bloodlines.
• Chen Yu used the Sacred Body Origin he had obtained by checking in on Ye Fan, and his Bitter Sea and dark-gold blood began to change.

Chen Yu’s Divine Body and Sacred Body blood fused under the influence of the Origin Blood of All Things, transforming him into a new constitution with immense power. The resulting visions alerted Yan Ruyu and the others, who moved to conceal them before they attracted powerful outsiders.

• The Origin Blood of All Things drove Chen Yu’s Sacred Body blood to surge until it resonated and fused with his Divine Body blood.
• Chen Yu’s new constitution triggered dramatic changes, drawing in the world’s essence Qi and causing his Source Formation to collapse.
• The new constitution’s power created vast visions above the Profound Origin Sect, displaying terrifying divinity and blood Qi.
• Yan Ruyu, Elder Qing, and the old demon sensed the visions and recognized that Chen Yu’s power surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Body.
• Yan Ruyu urged the others to conceal the visions before they attracted cultivators from the holy lands.
