Ling Yi possessed Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng with powerful clones and sent them to obtain martial arts techniques, while testing whether they could travel beyond his clones’ range. After Ling Yi, Zixia, and Emotionless all broke through, Emotionless learned how many techniques Ling Yi needed to reach the realm required to enter the imperial city.

• Ling Yi ordered Qu Yang to seize the Sun Moon Holy Cult’s techniques and Liu Zhengfeng to obtain the Mount Song Sect’s techniques, then possessed them with clones that raised them to Innate Great Perfection.

• Emotionless gave Dingdang case files on Liu Chengzhang to take to her master, but decided to stay behind and continue investigating her family’s murder.
• Emotionless returned to Ling Yi’s courtyard and asked when he could reach Master; Ling Yi broke through, and Zixia and Emotionless also advanced to higher realms.
• Ling Yi told Emotionless that he needed ten Emperor Grade, fifty Heaven Grade, a thousand Earth Grade, or a hundred thousand Mortal Grade cultivation techniques to reach the Extreme Void Realm.

Ling Yi gathered cultivation manuals from Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, strengthened his technique clones, and tested the new Possession function. After Yue Buqun and Lin Zhennan brought in too few manuals, Ling Yi proposed launching a public technique-exchange scheme under the invented name Immortal Gate, leaving the Jianghu Boundary Token problem unresolved.

• Liu Zhengfeng returned with manuals taken from Zuo Lengchan, while Qu Yang brought back more than three hundred manuals from the Sun Moon Holy Cult, including the Sunflower Codex and Tai Chi Fist Classic.
• Ling Yi fused the manuals into his technique clones, raised all nine clone entries to Earth Grade or higher, and learned that Possession allowed remote control, shared vision, and behavioral settings.
• Yue Buqun and Lin Zhennan arrived with too few mostly low-grade manuals, prompting Ling Yi to seek an alternative to robbing or stealing techniques.
• Yue Buqun suggested obtaining manuals outside the Hanming Jianghu, and Ling Yi proposed trading techniques through a fictional faction called the Immortal Gate, starting in the Songming Jianghu.
• Liu Zhengfeng asked how the Immortal Gate would handle the Jianghu Boundary Tokens.

Ling Yi built up the Immortal Gate scheme while delaying Emotionless’s return to Yan City, then accompanied her to the Divine Constabulary. There, Emotionless demanded that Zhuge Zhengwo reveal who slaughtered her Sheng Family, leaving him unable to answer.

• Ling Yi planned to fill his remaining clone slots, and Yue Buqun raised every technique to level ten by secretly stirring up trouble for three days.
• Emotionless pressed Ling Yi to take her to Yan City, and he promised to go with her in half a month.
• Yue Buqun, Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang, and Lin Zhennan presented themselves as the Four Great Immortal Gate Envoys, offering martial arts manuals in exchange for other manuals and drawing the Jianghu into turmoil.
• Half a month later, Ling Yi accompanied Emotionless back to the Divine Constabulary, where Zhuge Zhengwo welcomed him and cautioned him against using the River-Overturning Beast title.
• Emotionless confronted Zhuge Zhengwo about the Sheng Family massacre and demanded the names of the twelve people who carried it out, leaving Zhuge Zhengwo at a loss and Iron Hand visibly guilty.

Ling Yi told Emotionless a fabricated version of her family's massacre that redirected her revenge toward Chancellor Cai, An Yunshan, and An Shigeng, and Zhuge Zhengwo and Iron Hand accepted the explanation. As Ling Yi pursued his plans and system upgrades, he stayed at the Divine Constabulary while his clones gathered manuals and defeated enemies.

• Ling Yi claimed that Emperor, Chancellor Cai, and An Yunshan had orchestrated the massacre of the Sheng family, and that Iron Hand had secretly tried to protect Emotionless.
• Emotionless said she believed Ling Yi, while Zhuge Zhengwo and Iron Hand thanked him for healing her legs and felt relieved by the explanation.
• Ling Yi told Zhuge Zhengwo and Iron Hand that An Yunshan and An Shigeng were plotting rebellion and said he planned to help Emotionless take revenge.
• Ling Yi remained at the Divine Constabulary as Emotionless and the others investigated counterfeit currency, while his Cultivation Technique Clones collected manuals and killed powerful opponents.
• Ling Yi's system reached version 3.0, his cultivation reached Master Realm ninth layer, and his ten cultivation techniques each had eleven clones.

He advanced to Grandmaster and sent his Cultivation Technique Clones to secretly obtain martial manuals, while the system’s search for new world coordinates reached 3%.

• Ling Yi rejected Emotionless’s offer to stay, explaining that he would leave the world soon, and Emotionless realized he did not want to become involved when he was leaving.
• At the Fuwei Escort Agency, Ling Yi ordered Yue Buqun to replace the Immortal Gate’s sinister-looking clothes and establish branches in the Former Song Kingdom, the Qin-Tang Nation, the Feng-Yun Nation, and the Yuan State of Qing.
• Ling Yi gave Yue Buqun one month to gather cultivation manuals from those countries, permitting secret theft, robbery, or swindling when exchanges failed.
• Ling Yi sent Cultivation Technique Clones to infiltrate martial factions and the imperial palace to obtain their manuals, then advanced to ninth-layer Grandmaster Great Perfection.
• Ling Yi checked the system interface and saw that the Coordinate Searcher had reached 3% progress.

Ling Yi learned that Lan Chen controlled Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun through his Heroine Conquest System, while Lan Chen prepared to pursue his plans at Mantuo Manor. Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun asked Ling Yi to help them kill Lan Chen, but he refused to go with them.

• Ling Yi’s Cultivation Technique Clones robbed libraries and treasures across the Hanming Jianghu, prompting rumors that the Immortal Gate’s Grandmaster envoys had retaliated.

• Li Qiushui explained that Lan Chen’s system had controlled her and Wu Xingyun, forcing them to serve him and gather Jianghu news.
• Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun said their control had ended after meeting Ling Yi and asked him to stay until they killed Lan Chen, but Ling Yi refused.

• Wu Xingyun agreed to let Ling Yi use his secret art, and Li Qiushui’s vitality faltered after Wu Xingyun revealed that Wuyazi had loved Li Canghai.
• Ling Yi sent his Zixia Cultivation Technique Clone to possess Li Qiushui, stabilizing her condition and blocking Lan Chen’s control.

• Lan Chen tried to flee and forced A Bi, Wang Yuyan, and Madam Wang to attack Li Qiushui, but Li Qiushui immobilized them and Lan Chen.
• Li Qiushui struck Lan Chen with a Bai Hong Palm, and his system pulled his soul into a white space before berating him for misusing its binding ability and disintegrating him.

After Lan Chen’s death, Li Qiushui reunited with Li Qingluo and learned about Wang Yuyan and Li Canghai’s disappearance. Ling Yi gathered martial arts manuals before the system updated to version 4.0, and he prepared to leave for the Xuan-Yuan Sword world after discovering the power of its new Independence function.

• Lan Chen’s death freed the heroines bound by his system, while Li Qiushui questioned Li Qingluo and learned she was her daughter.

• After discovering the power of Independence, Ling Yi recalled his other clones and prepared to leave the world.

Ling Yi discovered that slaying demons could yield orbs containing their innate abilities, then sent clones across Demon-Subduing Mountain to hunt while Chen Fu secretly monitored him. When Chen Jingchou went missing, Chen Fu found him fighting a Foundation Establishment greater demon and watched in shock as Jingchou killed it with powerful spells.

• Ling Yi’s monkey clone killed a tree demon and obtained orbs containing its Wood Spirit Art, Wood Spirit Spell, and Wood Release Technique, which Ling Yi absorbed.

• Chen Jingchou left the village to supposedly slay demons, but his four fellow disciples later reported that he was missing.
• Chen Fu located Chen Jingchou on the mountain, where he killed a Foundation Establishment greater demon with a flying sword and a barrage of fireballs.

Ling Yi tested his independent possession system by giving Chen Jingchou an Earth Emperor System that rapidly strengthened him through killing demons, then told Chen Fu he had given Jingchou the seed to become the Earth Emperor. While Ling Yi kept a low profile and experimented with artifact refining, his overpowered delivery device crashed near a carriage, leaving two red-clad figures and a wounded dragon horse at the blast site.

• Chen Jingchou returned to Chen Fu after a system granted him Golden Core Great Perfection, and Chen Fu tested him before taking him to kill more demons.
• Ling Yi explained that his independent possession clone let Chen Jingchou gain cultivation from collected Essence Orbs, and told Chen Fu he had given Jingchou the seed to become the Earth Emperor.
• Chen Fu left Ling Yi, while Chen Jingchou trained under him and rapidly learned formations, talismans, spells, pill refining, and artifact refining.
• Ling Yi stayed behind the scenes, experimented with a huge green delivery device, and accidentally launched it into the distance.
• Ling Yi reached the blast site and found a shattered carriage, a struggling white dragon horse, and two red-clad figures lying nearby.

Ling Yi accidentally knocked Taba Yu'er and Honghong unconscious with a spiritual explosion, then revived them and agreed to repair Taba Yu'er's carriage and protect them while their Magic Power recovered. He brought them to Demon-Subduing Village, where he restored his ruined courtyard as they began staying with him.

• Ling Yi examined the unconscious Taba Yu'er and Honghong, found they were unharmed, and used green light to wake them.
• Ling Yi explained that his experiment had caused the explosion and that it had temporarily disrupted their Magic Power; Taba Yu'er refused to reveal her cultivation method so he could restore it sooner.
• Taba Yu'er recovered the Heluo Stone Inscription from her destroyed carriage and made Ling Yi agree to repair the carriage and protect her and Honghong until their cultivation returned.
• Ling Yi returned to Demon-Subduing Village with Taba Yu'er and Honghong, who rode the dragon horse because their Magic Power remained unusable.
• Ling Yi used his abilities to repair his dilapidated courtyard, surprising Taba Yu'er and Honghong.

Chen Fu explained the ancient divine artifacts to Chen Jingchou and urged him to grow stronger before leaving Demon-Subduing Mountain. Yuwen Tuo ordered an assault on the mountain, while Ling Yi used his upgraded system to manifest equipment and refine a portable weapon.

• Chen Fu told Chen Jingchou that defeating Yuwen Tuo required another ancient divine artifact, described the artifacts’ powers, and said the Kunlun Mirror was supposedly sealing Taotie beneath Demon-Subduing Mountain.
• Chen Fu advised Chen Jingchou to cultivate and prepare to leave the mountain within a month, since its demons could only help him reach Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
• Yuwen Tuo learned that Taba Yu'er had likely reached Demon-Subduing Mountain and ordered the Blazing Fire Division and Red Ghost Division to capture it within three days.
• Ling Yi worked on a portable handgun designed to trigger a five-meter magic-sealing domain while Taba Yu'er complained that she was hungry.
• Ling Yi’s system displayed its new Form-Shifting Manifestation feature, which let him create imagined items such as a computer and automated treasure-refining furnaces for twenty-four hours.

Taba Yu'er and Honghong left Ling Yi after he gave Taba Yu'er a phone that also functioned as a monster-killing cheat, while Ling Yi sent out thirty clones to fight evil. At Demon-Subduing Mountain, Chen Fu activated the Seven Elements Formation and began evacuating the Chen Kingdom survivors as Chen Jingchou confronted the two women.

• Ling Yi gave Taba Yu'er a transformed-clone phone that let her contact him and keep a larger share of essence orbs from defeated monsters.
• Ling Yi decided to wait before advancing to the Spirit Severing Realm and sent thirty Golden Core Realm clones out to slay demons and punish evil.
• Chen Fu and Chen Jingchou sensed Taba Yu'er and Honghong entering Demon-Sealing Valley, and Chen Fu suspected someone behind them had learned about the Kunlun Mirror.
• Chen Fu activated Demon-Subduing Mountain's Seven Elements Formation and ordered Shen Yu, Shu Dian, Mao Huo, and Luo Mi to carry out his evacuation and defense plans.
• Chen Jingchou confronted Taba Yu'er and Honghong, but Taba Yu'er denied knowing about the Kunlun Mirror and claimed they had entered the mountains to hide from pursuers.

• Ling Yi appeared beside Taba Yu'er while Chen Jingchou was being taken away by Shen Yu.

Ling Yi killed Taotie, took the Kunlun Mirror from Yuwen Tuo, and gave it to Taba Yu'er so she could search for a way to save her people. A month later, Taba Yu'er had left the Tuoba Tribe after discovering her older sister and Zhang Lie together, while Zhang Lie and Chen Jingchou traveled to Yuehe City as brothers.

• Ling Yi healed Taba Yu'er, then used ten manifested Xuan-Yuan Swords to kill the weakened Taotie and obtain its God Grade Devouring Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method Orb.
• Yuwen Tuo gave Ling Yi the Kunlun Mirror after recognizing the Xuan-Yuan Sword; the mirror showed Ling Yi a vision of himself with Emotionless and Li Qiushui.
• Ling Yi handed the Kunlun Mirror to Taba Yu'er, who used their final agreement to seek a way to save her people, and secretly placed a Cultivation Technique Clone in Yuwen Tuo's soul before he left.
• After Taba Yu'er returned to the Tuoba Tribe, her older sister took the mirror, then claimed the Nüwa Stone in Yuehe City could heal her leg; Taba Yu'er left that night after finding her sister and Zhang Lie embracing.
• Zhang Lie met Chen Jingchou while fighting tree demons on the way to Yuehe City, and the two became brothers before traveling there together.

Ling Yi completed the fusion of his Golden Core, advanced to Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection, and found his Nascent Soul enclosed in a gray eggshell as he began calling his magic power the power of chaos. Meanwhile, Chen Jingchou, Taba Yu'er, and Jian Chi accidentally killed Ruyan, then followed Granny Ma to Nüwa's temple to seek her resurrection, where a crack appeared in the sky.

• Ling Yi watched Chen Jingchou, Taba Yu'er, and Jian Chi continue hunting monsters outside Yuehe City while he waited for Nüwa to appear.
• After another half month, Ling Yi's Golden Core finished fusing into a gray bead, and he sensed the world's laws and briefly froze a flame with a snap.
• Ling Yi broke through to Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection and found a tiny version of himself inside the hollow gray Golden Core, which he called an eggshell.
• Chen Jingchou, Taba Yu'er, and Jian Chi killed Ruyan before Granny Ma could stop them, then learned from Granny Ma that Ruyan had been controlled by a demon.
• Granny Ma led the remorseful group to Nüwa's temple to ask for Ruyan's resurrection, while Ling Yi followed invisibly.
• As the group entered the temple, a scar-like crack opened in the azure sky and faint red-black light seeped through.

Ling Yi met Nüwa, who explained the origins of chaos and asked him to protect Xiaoxue and help her escape the fate of Nüwa’s descendants. After Ling Yi emerged as the Earth Emperor and took Xiaoxue under his wing, he revived Ruyan for Granny Ma.

• Xiaoxue saw through Ling Yi’s invisibility, and Nüwa appeared to explain that his power of chaos was forbidden and traced how Pangu split chaos with three axe strikes.
• Nüwa asked Ling Yi to look after Xiaoxue and hinted that completing his forbidden power would require going to the Demon Realm.
• Xiaoxue took Ling Yi’s hand and accepted him as her big brother, while Ling Yi told her he could not stay in the world for long.
• Outside the temple, Granny Ma announced that the Earth Emperor had appeared, and Chen Jingchou accepted Ling Yi as the true Earth Emperor.
• Granny Ma entrusted Xiaoxue to Ling Yi, and Ling Yi used the power of chaos to revive Ruyan and remove the birthmark from her face.

Ling Yi reunited with Emotionless and Li Qiushui, led the group in an assault on the Demon Realm, and returned to the Ling Realm, where Uncle proposed a new world based on a more cerebral version of Werewolf.

• Ling Yi summoned Zhang Lie and Lü Chengzhi, gave them cultivation boosts, and ordered them to prepare for an assault on the Demon Realm in two months.
• Taba Yu'er explained Ling Yi's plan to the others, who went out to fight demons and search for divine artifacts while Ling Yi's clones gathered artifacts and entered the Demon Realm.
• Emotionless and Li Qiushui arrived in the world, obtained the Demon Refining Pot and Shennong Ding, and reunited with Ling Yi in Yuehe City after Emotionless told him she had waited three hundred years.
• Ling Yi led the group in a counterattack on the Demon Realm, while Jian Chi regained his identity as Yuwen Tuo, killed Yang Su, and rescued his mother.
• Ling Yi met Uncle and Yin Wanqing in the Ling Realm, and they chose a new world centered on a complex Werewolf game, with random replacement, a complete seal, plot-based unsealing, and an unlimited passive truth halo.
