• The Grand Elder declined to visit the Divine Talisman Sect, believing Mu Fusheng would soon come to them himself.

Mu Fusheng returned to the Divine Talisman Sect and secretly worked on completing the Purple Firmament World-Destroying Lightning Array Talisman. He drew down vast amounts of purple lightning to connect its nine talismans, leaving the attempt underway as the lightning struck.

• Mu Fusheng told Xie Yan that he had become a Heaven Talisman Master, then entered the heaven-grade cave abode to cultivate.

• Mu Fusheng tried connecting the talismans with the momentum of heaven and earth, but the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning dispersed his attempts.
• Mu Fusheng used the Nine-Nine Primordial Chaos Divine Lightning Technique to summon purple lightning, drawing the attention of the Divine Talisman Sect and Xie Yan.
• Mu Fusheng directed the lightning pillars onto the nine talismans, using a pill from Lu Changsheng to replenish his strength as the surrounding furnishings turned to dust.

Mu Fusheng completed nine Purple Firmament World-Destroying Lightning Array Talismans and accepted Xie Yan’s mission to reclaim the Tian Ming Empire’s external talisman markets. He reached the struggling empire, proved he was a Heaven Talisman Master, and demanded the support and freedom he needed to work.

• Mu Fusheng thanked Xie Yan for concealing the commotion around his cave abode, and Xie Yan gave him the Tian Ming imperial family’s regent token and tasked him with reclaiming the empire’s external markets.
• Mu Fusheng studied the map, learned how the Blazing Fire Empire and Dragon Cloud Empire had taken Tian Ming’s markets and poached its Attendants, and traveled to the Tian Ming Empire.
• Mu Fusheng presented the regent token at the palace and met the emperor, Tian Qihe, and Tian Chiyao.
• Mu Fusheng showed his Heaven Talisman Master badge, silencing doubts about his age, then demanded materials, information on the opposition, and no interference with his work.

Mu Fusheng examined the rival empires’ talismans and devised a plan to reclaim the Tian Ming Empire’s market by improving them and selling them cheaply. Meanwhile, Tian Qihe and Guan Zongyan plotted to undermine Mu Fusheng’s standing before the emperor.

• Tian Chiyao persuaded the emperor to accept Mu Fusheng’s terms, and Mu Fusheng requested information about the other two empires.
• Tian Chiyao brought Mu Fusheng details showing that the Tian Ming Empire would lose its income within a month, along with the rival empires’ Wood Spirit and Nether Fire Talismans.
• Mu Fusheng decided to study and modify the rival talismans so the Tian Ming Empire could sell improved versions at lower prices.
• Tian Qihe joined forces with Guan Zongyan, a Heaven Talisman Master, and Guan Zongyan planned to demonstrate Mu Fusheng’s shortcomings at morning court.
• Mu Fusheng quickly improved both talismans and then began inscribing a peak Heaven Rank Thunderstorm Talisman.

At morning court, Guan Zongyan offered to save the Tian Ming Empire only if he could take charge and remove Mu Fusheng, but the emperor let both men present their plans. Mu Fusheng challenged Guan Zongyan’s expensive Heaven Rank solution as unsuitable for an economic war and began presenting his own talismans.

• The emperor asked Mu Fusheng about his solution, but Tian Qihe introduced Guan Zongyan as another helper and revealed that he was a veteran Heaven Talisman Master.
• Guan Zongyan demanded control of the effort and insisted that either he or Mu Fusheng must leave, prompting the emperor to let them each explain their plans.
• Guan Zongyan presented a Heaven Rank Spirit Wood Bone-Regenerating Talisman and said he could counter the enemy’s Wood Spirit and Nether Fire Talismans with higher-ranked talismans.
• Mu Fusheng argued that the crisis was an economic war, not a contest over talisman rank, and questioned whether ordinary cultivators could afford Guan Zongyan’s solution.
• Mu Fusheng said he had inscribed both the Wood Spirit Talisman and the Nether Fire Talisman.

Mu Fusheng introduced stronger, cheaper Wood Spirit and Nether Fire Talismans, helping the Tian Ming Empire win back customers and threaten the other two empires’ markets. The Dragon Cloud and Blazing Fire Empires responded with steep price cuts and a new Heaven Rank talisman, but Mu Fusheng revealed he had prepared for their move.

• Mu Fusheng explained that his Wood Spirit and Nether Fire Talismans cost less to produce and worked better than the versions sold by the other empires, then proposed selling them for 600 Origin Crystals.
• The emperor approved Mu Fusheng’s plan, while Guan Zongyan and Tian Qihe left in anger; Mu Fusheng told Tian Chiyao to publicize the talismans, and she said she had already sent people to spread the news.
• Within days, cultivators and merchant factions flocked to buy the Tian Ming Empire’s talismans, gradually replacing those from the Dragon Cloud and Blazing Fire Empires.
• The emperors of the Dragon Cloud and Blazing Fire Empires examined Mu Fusheng’s talismans and found their effects superior, then asked their Heaven Talisman Masters for a solution; Guan Zongyan arrived and offered help.
• Several days later, the two empires cut their Wood Spirit and Nether Fire Talisman prices to 400 Origin Crystals and began selling a Heaven Rank Spirit Wood Bone-Regenerating Talisman for 2,000 Origin Crystals.
• Tian Chiyao brought the news to Mu Fusheng, who smiled because he had kept something in reserve.

Mu Fusheng defeated the rival empires’ talisman price war with his improved talismans and Thunderstorm Talismans, then returned to the Divine Talisman Sect after the empires sought peace. Elder Xie told him the sect master wanted to see him, bringing him closer to asking the sect for help against the Evil Domain.

• Mu Fusheng responded to the rival empires’ cheap talismans by lowering his own prices and giving Tian Chiyao a Thunderstorm Talisman to sell.
• Tian Chiyao presented Mu Fusheng’s Thunderstorm Talisman to the emperor and Tian Qihe, proving Mu Fusheng could produce a powerful Heaven Rank talisman.
• Guan Zongyan learned that Mu Fusheng was circulating many Thunderstorm Talismans, while the rival empires’ price cuts failed to stop Mu Fusheng’s talismans from taking their markets.
• The two empires sent envoys to seek peace, but Mu Fusheng left the Prince Regent’s residence before Tian Chiyao could tell him the outcome.
• Mu Fusheng returned to the Divine Talisman Sect, where Elder Xie told him to meet the sect master and then collect his reward.

• Yang Zuzheng and Mu Fusheng began inscribing the Nine Yang Blazing Fire Talisman while Jiang Yinshi and Yan Lübing doubted Mu Fusheng could succeed.

• Mu Fusheng asked Xie Yan to help him deal with the Evil Domain, which had taken his father.

• Xie Yan gave Mu Fusheng the Soul Nourishing Technique, which could strengthen soul power and enable soul attacks, as an advance favor.

At the Holy Talisman Grand Ceremony, Mu Fusheng faced mockery from the Immortal Talisman Gate and chose to inscribe a rare, powerful talisman. His Four Seas Raging Lightning Talisman sent lightning into the sky and drew the attention of the three supreme elders.

• Rong Yu mocked Dong Yin and the Divine Talisman Sect, then laughed when he learned that Mu Fusheng, a newly assessed Heaven Talisman Master, was leading the team.
• Rong Yu urged Lu Di, the Immortal Talisman Gate's team leader, to defeat the Divine Talisman Sect and secure more resources for their branch.

• Lightning surged from Mu Fusheng's work and dark clouds covered the sun, drawing the attention of the spectators and the three supreme elders.

Mu Fusheng revealed his hidden strength at the Holy Talisman Grand Ceremony by completing the powerful Four Seas Raging Lightning Talisman first. He presented it to the three supreme elders, leaving the other participants and observers astonished.

• Mu Fusheng concealed Lu Changsheng’s identity and said he had obtained the Four Seas Raging Lightning Talisman in a secret realm.
• Lu Di inscribed a near-perfect Four Beasts Heaven-Covering Talisman, while Rong Yu taunted Dong Yin that the Immortal Talisman Gate would prevail.

• Mu Fusheng politely refused the three supreme elders, explaining that he already had a master.

Mu Fusheng won first place at the Holy Talisman Grand Ceremony and declined the three supreme elders’ offers to take him as their disciple, though he joined the Holy Talisman Sect as an inner sect disciple. In response to the growing threat, Xie Nan decided to activate the Ghost God Altar, while Lu Changsheng began teaching Xiao Shitou in the Changsheng Domain.

• In the Changsheng Domain, Lu Changsheng prepared to teach Xiao Shitou how to seek the Dao of eternal life.
