Lu Changsheng restored Ye Qiubai’s cultivation, took Hong Ying as a disciple, and sent both of them into the Blood Prison Trial. Ye Qiubai entered a mysterious swordsman’s trial, while threats from the Qiu Lineage and Sunset Dynasty awaited him inside the realm.
Ye Qiubai survived the Blood Prison, returned to the Cottage, and traveled north for the academy exchange, where his victories drew the attention of Jian Chaomian and Huang Tian Ming. The arc ends as Ye Qiubai prepares to fight Jian Chaomian, while Huang Tian Ming orders an attempt on his life after the match.
Ye Qiubai survived the Sunset Dynasty’s attacks with help from his allies and Lu Changsheng, while Lu Changsheng destroyed Shadow Kill Pavilion and gained a new disciple, Ning Chenxin. Ye Qiubai went on to the Main Academy, and Lu Changsheng was pressed into teaching there, where his pills produced startling results.
Ye Qiubai rose through the Land of Hundred Refinements, survived Huang Tian Ming’s assassination attempt, and entered the Hidden Sword Sect’s Sword Tomb. He claimed the founding ancestor’s legacy and sect master token, while Lu Changsheng took Xiao Hei as a disciple and began training him.
Lu Changsheng won the Alchemy Conference with a Heaven Rank pill, while Ye Qiubai and Xiao Hei destroyed the Heavenly Origin Dynasty and Ning Chenxin challenged the Buddhist Sect. The story left Lu Changsheng holding a dangerous spatial rift sealed as the Southern Region’s leaders prepared to investigate it.
Lu Changsheng defended Ning Chenxin from the Buddhist Sect before sending his disciples into an ancient secret realm filled with inheritances and trials. The disciples gained new powers and insights, while Hong Ying learned the realm had been prepared for a future campaign on the Heavenly Road.
Ye Qiubai and his companions helped the Northern Region Alliance resist the Sunset Dynasty, while Huang Tian Ming’s corpse puppets and the Buddhist Sect widened the threat. The alliance launched an offensive across the Great Rift Valley, where Ning Chenxin’s strength forced the enemy to retreat.
Ning Chenxin was lured into the Sunset Dynasty’s schemes, bringing Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying into a battle that ended when Lu Changsheng intervened. Ye Qiubai settled his feud with the dynasty and advanced, while the disciples returned to the Cottage, where Lu Changsheng struggled to improve its grand formation and Ye Qiubai tested new applicants.
Lu Changsheng recruited Shi Sheng and remade his physique while Hong Ying gathered support to restore the Cloud Phoenix Empire. In the Extreme Northern Icefield, the Cottage and its allies fought for the Heart of the Realm as the conflict with their opponents escalated.
Hong Ying returned and began rebuilding the Cloud Phoenix Empire as the Cottage disciples advanced through the academy exchange and pursued their own paths. The arc ended with Ning Chenxin defeating the Buddhist Son in debate and establishing the Study’s standing.
Lu Changsheng helped Hong Ying defeat the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s invasion and the Buddhist Sect, while the disciples set out for the Boundless Realm. Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng formed the Cottage Mercenary Group and prepared to face an ambush during their first escort mission.
Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng protected Yang Yuwan, earned recognition at Dragonrise City’s auction, and fought off attackers seeking the Demon Abyss Token. Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng helped Hong Ying master the Dao Law of Samsara and restore the Wilderness Realm’s Heavenly Dao, leaving her ready to spread the Dao and travel to the Boundless Realm.
Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, and Shi Sheng helped the Yang Lineage reclaim its position, won three places in the Kunlun Heavenly Pool qualification contest, and killed Zheng Yongqi after she challenged Xiao Hei. They reached Kunlun City, where powerful allies and enemies appeared, and met Mu Fusheng in disguise just before the Pool opened.
Ye Qiubai, Shi Sheng, and Xiao Hei survived the Kunlun Heavenly Pool’s trials, where Shi Sheng claimed a Star Core and Ye Qiubai defeated challengers before receiving the Starfall Sword Emperor’s inheritance. As threats from the Extraterrestrial Evil Race gathered, Ye Qiubai learned that the Starfall Sword Sect had been founded to prepare for a calamity across the Low-Latitude Realm.
Ye Qiubai’s return to the Starfall Sword Sect drew three powerful factions into a war, and Lu Changsheng destroyed them to protect his disciples. After Mu Fusheng became Lu Changsheng’s disciple, he joined Mu Qingqing’s expedition to Boundary Mountain, where Xiao Hei sensed a presence connected to his origin.
Mu Qingqing’s forces fought the Extraterrestrial Evil Race at Boundary Mountain and pursued it into the Demon Abyss, where Xiao Hei’s bloodline opened a path to trials that strengthened him and his companions. Lu Changsheng left Xiao Hei to continue, then sealed a disturbance in space after emerging from the abyss.
Ye Qiubai and his companions helped defeat the Extraterrestrial Evil Race’s assault on the Boundless Realm, while Xiao Hei reunited with them and revealed the danger surrounding his past. The group later traveled to the Cold Night Realm to reinforce its defenders as the Evil Race launched another attack.
Ye Qiubai and his allies fought the Extraterrestrial Evil Race, then sought to turn seven Mid-Latitude factions against one another rather than surrender the Boundless Realm. Their plan disrupted the invaders’ demands, but He Wuwei attacked and erased thousands of cultivators, leaving the survivors to face the fight.
The Cottage disciples returned to the Wilderness Realm, where Ye Qiubai recruited Hao Tian and Ning Chenxin exposed the Buddhist Sect’s plot. Lu Changsheng entered Mortal Village, mastered its movement technique, and became entangled in a dispute over the village chief’s position.
Lu Changsheng defeated the forces targeting Mortal Village, took Xiao Shitou as his disciple, and began forging a new world. After a spatial storm scattered the Cottage disciples, Ye Qiubai and Xiao Hei each grew stronger in the Mid-Latitude Realm, while Ye Qiubai rescued Mu Ziqing from the Lü Lineage and the Vast Sea Sect.
