• Ye Li looked toward the Primordial Sea and said that everything was ready except for the final push.

• Ye Li thanked Lu Xuan for gathering the auras, and You Tiancheng agreed that the alliance’s help was only natural.

• Ye Li asked whether Lu Xuan had found an Eternal Life Art, then placed the Bright Origin Dao-Union Art on the table and offered it to her.

The Demon Race Saint Venerables gathered to discuss Ye Li, whose recent victories had made him a threat to their plans and their control of the Demonic Heavenly Domain. Lady Purple Seclusion revealed that she had already asked Snow God City for help and told them to wait for the city lord’s reply.

• Death Chain Saint Venerable complained that Lady Purple Seclusion had refused to help after White Dragon and Phantom Lizard were killed, but Tiger-Head Saint Venerable warned him to mind his words.
• Lady Purple Seclusion arrived late with Ghost Hound Beast Venerable, and the other Saint Venerables refrained from challenging her because of her backing from Snow God City.
• Tiger-Head Saint Venerable said Ye Li was too powerful for them to defeat alone and that the other Human Race Saint Venerables could also threaten the demons.
• Tiger-Head Saint Venerable asked Lady Purple Seclusion to seek Snow God City’s help in restraining the Human Race Saint Venerables.
• Lady Purple Seclusion said she had already sent the city a full account of the matter and that the city lord’s reply would arrive within a few days.

Ye Li killed the five remaining Beast Venerables, used their souls to strengthen the Divine Iron, and learned that Snow God City had not answered Lady Purple Seclusion’s plea for aid. With the Demonic Heavenly Domain’s thirteen Demon Race Saint Venerables wiped out, he left to expand Xuanjian Mansion’s influence into the territory.

• Ye Li intensified Myriad Forms Furnace’s power and refined the Death Chain Saint Venerable and four other Beast Venerables to ashes.
• Ye Li fed the souls of the slain Beast Venerables into the Divine Iron, strengthening it.

• Lu Xuan told Ye Li that someone from Snow God City had arrived.

Ye Li learned that Zuo Miaoqing, Snow God City's eldest daughter, had come to the Star Sea Alliance headquarters asking to meet him. He arrived to find her listening politely to Wen Zhixing's praise of his influence, though she showed no sign of being intimidated.

• Lu Xuan told Ye Li that Zuo Miaoqing had come alone to the Alliance headquarters and asked for him by name.

• Wen Zhixing praised Ye Li's power and influence to Zuo Miaoqing, but she remained courteous and apparently unimpressed.
• The reception room doors opened as Ye Li arrived.

Zuo Miaoqing visited Ye Li on behalf of Snow God City, presenting a valuable Treasure Medicine and probing his strength and attitude. She then invited him to Snow God City at her father’s request, leaving Ye Li to decide whether to accept.

• Zuo Miaoqing revealed that her father admired Ye Li and invited him to visit Snow God City and discuss the Dao.

Zuo Miaoqing invited Ye Li to Snow God City on behalf of her father, and Ye Li accepted despite Lu Xuan’s warnings. After Zuo Miaoqing left with Wen Zhixing, Ye Li examined the Snow Lotus she had brought and revealed that it was too powerful for Creation Realm cultivators to absorb safely.

• Ye Li accepted Zuo Miaoqing’s invitation to visit Snow God City within the next few days.
• Zuo Miaoqing asked to stay with the alliance while Ye Li settled his affairs, and Lu Xuan assigned Wen Zhixing to host her.
• After Zuo Miaoqing and Wen Zhixing left, Lu Xuan warned Ye Li that the invitation could be a trap.
• Ye Li asked You Tiancheng to reopen the box containing the sealed Snow Lotus and asked whether he could safely refine it.
• You Tiancheng realized the Treasure Medicine’s overwhelming cold made it unsuitable for Creation Realm cultivators.

Ye Li recognized Snow God City's gift as a test of his cultivation but decided to visit anyway, intending to exploit the city's caution and provoke its lord. Lu Xuan asked to accompany him to Snow God City, secretly planning to use her space-tearing Divine Ability to save him if danger arose.

• You Tiancheng and Lu Xuan realized Snow God City had used the Crystal Core to probe Ye Li's cultivation, but Ye Li said he would go regardless.

• Lu Xuan explained that she had personal business in Snow God City, and Ye Li agreed to take her along.
• Lu Xuan privately resolved to use her life-saving Divine Ability to get Ye Li out if the visit went wrong, even if doing so shattered her Dao Foundation again.

As Ye Li prepared to leave for the Primordial Sea, he entrusted Xuanjian Mansion to An Lingzhen and gave her safeguards for the dangers she might face. An Lingzhen accepted the responsibility, while the revived elder remained with the Mansion to help protect its territory.

• Ye Li told An Lingzhen that he was leaving and placed Xuanjian Mansion in her hands.
• Ye Li reassured An Lingzhen that her cultivation, Soul Treasures, and his reputation should help keep the Mansion secure.
• An Lingzhen told Ye Li that the revived elder had joined Xuanjian Mansion and was assigned to guard the Heavenly Maiden Star Domain.
• Ye Li gave An Lingzhen three jade slips, each containing sword intent powerful enough to kill a Saint Venerable below the ninth level of the Creation Realm.

Zuo Miaoqing reported to the Snow God City Lord that Ye Li had agreed to visit, and her father ordered her to bring him to Snow God City so he could test Ye Li's strength. Ye Li departed with Lu Xuan and Zuo Miaoqing, unaware of her plan to trap them, as they headed toward Snow God City.

• Zuo Miaoqing told the Snow God City Lord that Ye Li had accepted the invitation and admitted the White Tower God was incomplete, but she had not determined Ye Li's cultivation realm.
• The Snow God City Lord dismissed Zuo Miaoqing's doubts and instructed her to bring Ye Li to Snow God City, where he could uncover Ye Li's abilities.
• Ye Li met Zuo Miaoqing at the Alliance headquarters and left with her and Lu Xuan aboard a shuttle bound for Snow God City.
• Experts and local powerhouses across the star domains bowed to Ye Li's passing shuttle, impressing Zuo Miaoqing with his prestige.
• Zuo Miaoqing secretly planned to keep Ye Li and Lu Xuan in Snow God City if she confirmed Ye Li was not an eternal life realm cultivator, then began telling Ye Li about the city.

Ye Li, Lu Xuan, and Zuo Miaoqing arrived at Snow God City, where they learned that Zuo Miaoqing’s father was holding a grand wedding with a bride from Jade Purity Pavilion. They met Zuo Guannan, the city’s ruler, who sensed Ye Li’s extraordinary vitality and grew wary of his strength.

• Zuo Miaoqing led Ye Li and Lu Xuan to the inner residence, where Zuo Guannan welcomed them.
• Zuo Guannan sensed Ye Li’s powerful vitality and judged that his physical strength could let him dominate the Saint Venerable realm.

Zuo Guannan welcomed Ye Li and Lu Xuan to Snow God City while concealing his hostility toward them. Afterward, he agreed to help Zuo Qitai seek revenge by advancing the banquet and arranging for Lu Xuan to provoke Ye Li.

• Zuo Guannan greeted Ye Li and Lu Xuan, then sent Zuo Miaoqing to escort them to Listening Snow Tower before announcing the wedding banquet would begin soon.

• Zuo Guannan said he would personally notify the Jade Purity Pavilion about the changed banquet schedule.

At Zuo Guannan's wedding banquet in Snow God City, Ye Li watched the powerful guests and checked on Lu Xuan while waiting for the bride to arrive. Chu Xiyue descended and took the seat of honor, revealing herself as Jade Purity Pavilion's direct disciple and Snow God City's new Matriarch.

• Zuo Guannan entered the lavish courtyard in wedding robes and greeted the gathered guests.
• Ye Li noticed that the highest tier seated him among Eternal Life Realm cultivators and wondered whether the arrangement was meant to test him.

• Chu Xiyue arrived in bridal robes under the escort of powerful attendants and sat in the seat of honor.
• Chu Xiyue's arrival established her as Zuo Guannan's wife, Jade Purity Pavilion's direct disciple, and Snow God City's new Matriarch.

At the Snow God City wedding banquet, Zuo Guannan let Zuo Qitai provoke Lu Xuan while assuming Ye Li would not dare interfere. Zuo Guannan then discovered Ye Li had vanished from his seat, leaving him alarmed.

• Zuo Guannan accommodated Chu Xiyue’s refusal to recognize him as her husband before the ceremony and privately resented her defiance.
• Zuo Guannan sent Zuo Qitai a message authorizing him to provoke Lu Xuan, believing Ye Li would avoid causing trouble at the wedding.
• Lu Xuan admired Chu Xiyue’s commanding presence but worried that the Jade Purity Pavilion could complicate her plans for revenge.
• Zuo Qitai taunted Lu Xuan about refusing to marry Zuo Guannan and threatened her, claiming Ye Li would soon be unable to protect her.
• Zuo Guannan told Zuo Qitai to stop before the dispute escalated, then noticed Ye Li’s seat was empty and wondered where he had gone.

Ye Li publicly killed Zuo Qitai and defeated City Lord Zuo Guannan with a single punch at the wedding. He then provoked Chu Xiyue to lift her veil and pour him wine, prompting Zuo Guannan to order Snow God City's experts to activate the City-Guarding Array and attack.

• Snow God City's hidden experts revealed themselves and used chains of Laws to encircle Ye Li.

Ye Li fought back against Snow God City's Slaughter Array and wounded Zuo Guannan, then met his ice-dragon attack with a technique of his own. As Ye Li's dragons began to lose ground, a strange sound of pages turning echoed overhead.

• Ye Li told Lu Xuan to step down as Zuo Guannan activated Snow God City's Slaughter Array against him.
• Ye Li vanished from the beam's impact and struck Zuo Guannan, severing his left-hand fingers and badly cutting his neck.
• Zuo Guannan summoned the Ten Thousand Dragon Ice Prison, sending a vast swarm of ice dragons at Ye Li.
• Ye Li countered with a self-created technique that unleashed ice dragon phantoms, but his dragons began to be overwhelmed.
• A thunderous sound of pages turning rang out high in the sky.

Ye Li overwhelmed Zuo Guannan with the power of his book-amplified saber, while Chu Xiyue refused to let her guards intervene. As Zuo Guannan tried to rely on Snow God City’s defensive formation, a powerful white-haired woman destroyed one of its core nodes and joined Ye Li’s side.

• Ye Li’s aura surged as the invisible book turned pages, and his ice dragons shattered Zuo Guannan’s dragon phantoms.
• Ye Li struck Zuo Guannan with a golden saber blow that cleaved his Dharma Body and sent him crashing into the ruins.
• Chu Xiyue rejected her guards’ offer to help Zuo Guannan, and they stood down.
• Ye Li broke Zuo Guannan’s defensive treasures and forced him to activate Snow God City’s formation.
• A white-haired woman destroyed a formation core, killed a Snow God City elder, and revealed that she had reached the fourth level of the Eternal Life Realm.
