Ling Yi revealed his vending machine, and Chang Ruoli, Song Qingxue, and Bai Xiao Yun spent a fortune on techniques and treasures. Chang Ruoli arranged for the group to travel to the imperial city with the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce caravan.

• Song Qingxue explained that true Qinggong was rare and difficult to create, and Ling Yi produced his vending machine to show the women its techniques.

• Chang Ruoli told Ling Yi that the group would follow Ouyang Xiong's caravan to the imperial city in two days.

Ling Yi and Chang Ruoli speculated that a Momentum Realm might be behind the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce, while Ling Yi later found the Heavenly Yang Sect abandoned and moved its remaining buildings into his Personal Space. He studied pill recipes while waiting to leave Red Maple City and noticed that his check-in rewards were declining.

• Chang Ruoli and Ling Yi discussed whether the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce was backed by a Momentum Realm and why it had not used its power to unite Da Zhou's Jianghu.

• Ling Yi considered the rare ingredients needed for the Heavenly Mysterious Pill and Epiphany Pill, and noticed that recent check-in rewards had grown worse.

Ling Yi and Chang Ruoli joined Ouyang Xiong’s convoy to Bai Hai City, where they met Ouyang Xiong’s formidable master and Ling Yi discovered a new sign-in treasure. The chapter left Ling Yi wary of the woman’s powerful sword and expecting trouble from what he called his peach blossom tribulation.

• Chang Ruoli and Ling Yi traveled with Ouyang Xiong’s convoy toward Bai Hai City so Ouyang Xiong could collect his master.

• The woman glared at Ling Yi after he stared at her, then called Ouyang Xiong into the carriage to speak with him.
• Chang Ruoli asked Ling Yi how he would handle the woman, and Ling Yi called her his peach blossom tribulation.

Ling Yi tried to draw Ouyang Qing out with food infused with Spiritual Qi, then challenged her to a duel so he could make contact and complete his sign-in. Ouyang Qing revealed that Spiritual Qi should not exist outside Momentum Realms and agreed to strike once with her Ninth Pin Domain Grade Momentum Treasure.

• Ling Yi and Chang Ruoli camped with the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce caravan and discussed continuing with it to the Inquiry Sword School.
• Ling Yi served food Xia Tao had prepared, using its aroma to lure the women in white from their carriage.

• Ling Yi offered to reveal the secret if Ouyang Qing defeated him, and she introduced herself before accepting the challenge.
• Ouyang Qing explained Momentum Treasure grades and promised to make one strike with her Ninth Pin Domain Grade sword, while Ling Yi prepared to test his strength with the Li Fire Sword.

• Chang Ruoli teased Ling Yi for embracing Ouyang Qing, and he silently blamed the system.

Chang Ruoli revealed that she wanted to become empress and asked Ling Yi to help her reshape Da Zhou, but he remained wary of her plans and the strength of the Martial Dao Alliance. The next morning, Ling Yi joined Ouyang Qing’s carriage and gained a Momentum Treasure Forging Codex through sign-in, along with several valuable pills for his companions.

• Chang Ruoli and Ling Yi discussed Ouyang Qing’s interest in Spiritual Qi ingredients and the threat that Momentum Treasures could pose to Da Zhou.
• Ling Yi explained that Momentum Treasures could be forged by imprinting Momentum onto equipment, though their rare materials came from the Momentum Realms.
• Chang Ruoli admitted she wanted to become empress, described how Jianghu and powerful families exploited Da Zhou’s people, and asked Ling Yi to help her rule alongside her.

• Ling Yi also received sign-in rewards for the group, including Heavenly Martial Pills and Heavenly Mysterious Pills that could help create Martial Gods.

Ling Yi and Ouyang Qing negotiated an exchange of Peaches of Immortality for Momentum Treasure materials, with the deal set to begin after they reach a World Tomb. Ouyang Qing explained that World Tombs are the graves of Momentum Realms and the resting places of World Grade experts, whose disappearance thirty thousand years ago remains a mystery.

• Ouyang Qing recognized Ling Yi and offered him rare Kaiyang tea containing Martial Dao Rhyme.
• Ling Yi agreed to trade Peaches of Immortality for soft ironwood, seeds, and living creatures capable of producing Momentum Treasures.

Ling Yi began forging a healing Momentum Treasure, but the caravan was stopped at Southern Ridge Valley by a vast crowd of refugees as system notifications sounded among them.

• Ouyang Qing explained that World Grade powerhouses created Momentum Realms and could survive as long as their realms remained intact.
• Ouyang Qing gave Ling Yi a top-grade Life Stone, and Ling Yi traded her a thousand spirit-spring peaches using a Space Momentum Treasure.
• Ling Yi used the Momentum Treasure Forging Codex to begin making a healing treasure from the Life Stone.
• Three days after leaving Bai Hai City, the caravan reached Southern Ridge Valley and found its path blocked by refugees.
• Ling Yi ordered the guards to kill anyone who came within five meters of the caravan, while Ouyang Xiong said the refugees likely came from North Ye Cheng.
• Circles of light appeared among the refugees, followed by system notification sounds.

Ling Yi discovered that the refugees fleeing the conflict between the Heavenly Fragrance Sect and North Ye Cheng’s Martial Dao families offered many check-in points, and decided to bring them into his Personal Space. He transported nearly all the refugees there, leaving a group of frightened women behind.

• Ouyang Xiong explained that the Heavenly Fragrance Sect and the Martial Dao families had destroyed each other’s medicinal fields and killed thousands of herb farmers, driving refugees to flee North Ye Cheng.
• Ling Yi asked Ouyang Xiong if he could take in refugees, then went to his Personal Space to tell Leng Ningshuang, Song Qingxue, Bai Xiao Yun, Xia Tao, and Ling Yanyun about his plan.
• Ling Yanyun proposed using the Heavenly Yang Sect as a foundation for managing the newcomers, while the others agreed that refugees could help reclaim land and care for crops and livestock.
• Ling Yi returned to Southern Ridge Valley and used his Personal Space to take in nearly all the refugees without asking them first.
• A little over ten minutes later, only a hundred-odd women remained in the valley, trembling as they looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi signed in with 112 disguised Martial Practitioners and received several powerful rewards, then summoned a random figure whose awakening began in the World Tomb of Xiao Yueyuan. The chapter ended with Xiao Yueyuan’s corpse starting to breathe after black light entered her forehead.

• Ling Yi signed in with the 112 women and received three Random Summon Cards, a spirit spring source, the Sword of No Momentum, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, and methods for making Identity Tokens and Beast Taming Tokens.
• Ling Yi placed the women in his Personal Space and asked Leng Ningshuang to manage them, then agreed to have them join the Heavenly Yang Sect.
• Leng Ningshuang suggested the Sign-In System might change after Ling Yi completed the Main Quest Sign-In, and Ling Yi told her to monitor the Personal Space’s affairs.
• Ling Yi used a Random Summon Card, and the system announced that the target was awakening and would come to find him.
• At the Inquiry Sword School’s Sword Mountain, black light entered Xiao Yueyuan’s corpse in her World Tomb, and she began to breathe after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years.

Ling Yi learned that Ouyang Qing came from a Momentum Realm and wanted to trade for his rare Spiritual Power goods, while warning him they could attract dangerous attention. After Ling Yi brought Chang Ruoli into his Personal Space, they discovered that taking in displaced people had made the space roughly a third larger, and Chang Ruoli proposed training Martial Practitioners there.

• Ling Yi returned to the caravan and asked Ouyang Qing about the Spiritual Power he sensed within her.
• Ouyang Qing explained that she was a native of a Momentum Realm, where she could cultivate the Immortal Dao, and warned that Ling Yi’s Spiritual Power goods would make him a target.
• Ouyang Qing said she wanted to trade with Ling Yi, while Ling Yi understood that she also wanted exclusive access to his goods; he then left with Chang Ruoli.
• Ling Yi brought Chang Ruoli into his Personal Space, where Song Qingxue told them it had expanded since he brought in the displaced people.
• Chang Ruoli suggested that Ling Yi could use the growing Personal Space, its spirit spring, and its food supplies to train a group of Martial Practitioners.

Ling Yi and the women reached Inquiry Sword City three days before the Inquiry Sword Assembly, where they encountered differing views about the city and its ruling sect. As the system continued offering rewards, Ling Yi focused on finding a way to advance his Martial Dao Intent Realm beyond Entering Momentum.

• Ling Yi told Chang Ruoli he would consider building a Martial Practitioner army but would keep control until Ouyang Qing supplied materials and identity tokens.
• Chang Ruoli warned that Ouyang Qing might want more from their deal, and Ling Yi said her threat mattered only if she had the strength to back it up.
• After twelve days of smooth travel, Ling Yi and the women arrived in Inquiry Sword City, which was governed by the Inquiry Sword School and far larger than Red Maple City.
• Chang Ruoli criticized the Inquiry Sword School for winning the people’s loyalty with modest aid, while Ling Yi considered its support for herb farmers a meaningful improvement.
• Ling Yi ignored many of the system’s ordinary check-in rewards and complained that none seemed to improve his Martial Dao Intent Realm.

Ling Yi gave Ouyang Qing and the others identity tokens to keep them under his control, then entered a restaurant to claim a Martial Dao Pill sign-in reward. There, two disguised women fled toward him after hearing that one girl's brother had found her, giving Ling Yi a chance to approach the sign-in circle on her lips.

• Ling Yanyun and the other women advanced in cultivation, while Ling Yi gave Ouyang Qing, Chang Ruoli, and the others identity tokens that let them enter and leave his Personal Space.
• Ling Yanyun and Ouyang Qing left to buy vegetable seeds in Inquiry Sword City, and Ling Yi assured Chang Ruoli that he could handle Ouyang Qing if she caused trouble.
• Ling Yi entered a restaurant and received a sign-in reward of one bottle of Martial Dao Pills, which could improve a Martial Practitioner's comprehension of Martial Dao Intent.
• Ling Yi noticed two women disguised as men eating upstairs and saw that the sign-in circle lay on the oval-faced girl's lips.
• The round-faced woman warned the tipsy oval-faced girl that her eldest brother had arrived, so both women hurried toward Ling Yi and his companions.

Ling Yi completed a check-in after Xiao Ling'er drunkenly fell against him, then punished her brother Xiao Fan for attacking him by claiming Xiao Ling'er as his maidservant for three days. From a restaurant overlooking the Inquiry Sword School, Chang Ruoli explained the school’s origins and its mysterious founding ancestor, Xiao Yueyuan.

• Xiao Ling'er fell into Ling Yi's arms after Xiaodie lost her balance, and Ling Yi received a bottle of Martial Dao Pills for completing his check-in.
• Xiao Fan attacked Ling Yi, but Ling Yi crushed his Sword Momentum and Leng Ningshuang held him at swordpoint.
• Ling Yi ordered Xiao Ling'er to serve as his maidservant for three days and had Leng Ningshuang throw Xiao Fan out the window.
• Ling Yi took Xiao Ling'er and Xiaodie to a private room overlooking the Inquiry Sword School and observed the greatsword-shaped Momentum Field above it.
• Chang Ruoli said Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Fan likely had distinguished origins because the Inquiry Sword School's sect-master lineage bore the surname Xiao.
• Chang Ruoli recounted how founder Xiao Yueyuan fled a marriage, became a World Grade expert through the sword, and vanished soon afterward.

Ling Yi learned about Xiao Ling'er’s connection to the Inquiry Sword School and turned her and Xiaodie into prisoners after rejecting her demand that he marry her. While Ling Yi and the others ate at a restaurant tied to the school, Xiao Wudi arrived to meet them.

• Ling Yi learned that Xiao Yueyuan was the Inquiry Sword School’s ancestor and that Xiao Ling’er was an exceptionally talented descendant.
• Xiao Ling’er demanded that Ling Yi marry her because he had taken her first kiss, but he sealed her and Xiaodie’s dantians and sent them into his Personal Space with Xia Tao and Bai Xiao Yun.
• Ling Yi reflected that he felt detached from the women around him and regarded them like paper characters, while Chang Ruoli questioned what kind of woman he liked.
• A middle-aged restaurant owner brought Ling Yi and the others signature dishes, and Leng Ningshuang suggested hiring the restaurant’s cook for their estate.
• Xiao Wudi of the Inquiry Sword School appeared outside the restaurant and announced that he had come to visit.

Ling Yi faced Xiao Wudi, who demanded Xiao Ling'er’s return and threatened to fight despite Ling Yi’s offers of pills. Just as Ling Yi decided to give her up, his Random Summon Card brought Xiao Yueyuan, the Inquiry Sword School’s long-dead founding ancestor, into his service, and a world envoy appeared in the sky.

• Chang Ruoli asked Leng Ningshuang whether Ling Yi could handle Xiao Wudi, and Leng Ningshuang explained that Xiao Wudi’s weakened primordial spirit made his condition critical.
• Ling Yi offered Xiao Wudi Lifespan Pills and Epiphany Pills in exchange for time with Xiao Ling'er, but Xiao Wudi refused and threatened to self-destruct to rescue her.
• Ling Yi decided to release Xiao Ling'er rather than risk a fight and create trouble with the Inquiry Sword School.
• Xiao Yueyuan appeared before Ling Yi, and the system identified her as his summoned servant, a Spirit Transformation Realm Perfection expert from ten thousand years ago.
• Xiao Yueyuan warned Ling Yi that a world envoy was coming and urgently asked to be sent to his Personal Space.

Ling Yi brought Xiao Yueyuan into and out of his Personal Space to test the vortex summoning the realm envoy, then heard how she had fought the envoy ten thousand years earlier. He concluded the envoy’s power came from a Momentum Field and revealed the Sword of No Momentum, which countered all Momentum Fields.

• Ling Yi repeatedly hid and released Xiao Yueyuan, causing the dark clouds and vortex to appear and disappear, before taking everyone to his Personal Space.
• Xiao Yueyuan and Xiao Ling'er recognized each other, and Xiao Yueyuan immobilized Xiao Wudi and Xiao Ling'er while she explained what had happened.
• Xiao Yueyuan said the realm envoy had demanded a Servant Mark before letting her enter the Immortal Realm, and she had refused.
• Xiao Yueyuan recounted that she detonated her Primordial Spirit and Sword Realm to wound the envoy, then used what remained of the Sword Realm to form the World Tomb.
• Xiao Yueyuan explained that the Immortal Realm was a Greater Momentum Realm and that the envoy’s abilities came from a refined Momentum Field.
• Ling Yi produced the Sword of No Momentum and said it completely countered all Momentum Fields.

Ling Yi gave Xiao Yueyuan the Sword of No Momentum, and she revealed that she planned to rebuild her Sword Realm inside her body. After Xiao Yueyuan explained that the Immortal Dao could counter the Dao of Momentum, Ling Yi proposed testing whether people could cultivate both paths, while Ouyang Qing realized how badly her earlier schemes could have ended.

• Ling Yi gave Xiao Yueyuan the Sword of No Momentum, and she said she would try to condense an internal Sword Realm.
• Chang Ruoli asked about entering other Momentum Realms, and Ling Yi judged that she was focused on her own ambitions.
• Ouyang Qing and Ling Yanyun appeared, and Ling Yi introduced Xiao Yueyuan as another Dao Guardian.
• Xiao Yueyuan questioned Ouyang Qing about cultivating the Immortal Dao outside a Momentum Realm, then warned that the Immortal Dao countered the Dao of Momentum.
• Ling Yi proposed testing Immortal Dao cultivation alone and alongside Martial Dao among the refugees, and Ouyang Qing agreed to provide cultivation techniques.
• Ouyang Qing recalled Ling Yanyun's warning about Ling Yi's control over his secrets and realized that sending Ouyang Xiong to alert her family could have endangered the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce.

Ling Yi prepared the Personal Space to become a home for the Inquiry Sword School and discovered that Spiritual Qi wood could be used to craft identity tokens. After making millions of tokens, he turned to claim the newly refreshed daily sign-in reward.

• Ling Yi placed four spirit spring sources around the Personal Space, greatly increasing its Spiritual Qi, while Ouyang Qing brought out Immortal Dao cultivation methods.
• Xiao Yueyuan ordered Xiao Wudi to prepare the Inquiry Sword School to move into the Personal Space in three days, and Ling Yi gave him Lifespan Pills before sending him away.
• Leng Ningshuang proposed bringing Inquiry Sword City into the Personal Space, and Xiao Yueyuan suggested using Spiritual Qi wood to make identity tokens.
• Ling Yi accelerated the growth of the trees, shaped the wood into tokens, and successfully imprinted them with Momentum Fields and his Primordial Spirit mark.
• Ling Yi and the others produced several million identity tokens overnight, and the system announced that the daily sign-in point had refreshed.

Ling Yi returned from signing in at the Heavenly Yang Sect with the Qingyun Formula, a Time Watch, and other rewards, then helped Xia Tao rapidly advance using Heavenly Mysterious Pills. Chang Ruoli and Ouyang Qing recognized the pills’ potential to create a powerful force and asked Ling Yi for some.

• Ling Yi recalled how Ling Yanyun had transformed the women at the Heavenly Yang Sect and reviewed his sign-in rewards, including the Qingyun Formula and a Time Watch that could stop time three times a day.
• Ling Yi returned to the manor and learned Xia Tao had stayed behind instead of cultivating in the Dao Comprehension Tower.
• Ling Yi gave Xia Tao Heavenly Mysterious Pills, warning her to take them one at a time because they would prevent her from cultivating on her own afterward.
• Xia Tao quickly advanced from Lower Third Pin to the late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm at Perfection by taking the pills.
• Chang Ruoli and Ouyang Qing returned, learned about Xia Tao’s advancement, and asked Ling Yi for Heavenly Mysterious Pills to help build their power.
