• Murong Liu moved toward the next level at a moderate pace, repeatedly throwing spikes to keep the plants chasing them.

Murong Liu reached the highest level of the Star Immortal Realm and found it seemingly empty, only to be attacked by countless strange creatures with human heads and four legs.

• Murong Liu found that the creatures were barely affected by his gas and surrounded him in overwhelming numbers.
• Murong Liu noticed a pulsating anomaly ahead and charged toward it, but the creatures completely blocked his path.

Murong Liu found and destroyed the nest producing the bizarre creatures, stopping their numbers from growing. Unable to find the route to the next stage, he concluded he might have to eliminate every creature in the area.

• Murong Liu fought through the creatures and discovered their nest was producing more than a dozen with each pulse.
• Murong Liu tore a spike from his back and hurled it at the nest, but two creatures intercepted it and protected the nest.

• Murong Liu dodged the remaining creatures and searched the area for the route to the next stage but could not find it.
• Murong Liu considered that the creatures might be blocking the route or needed to be wiped out, and resolved to kill as many as possible.

Murong Liu slaughtered the bizarre creatures in the trial and discovered they had been made from corpses. He reached the Star Heavenly Palace’s final hall and fought its armored warriors, beginning to fill the hall with poisonous purple smoke.

• Murong Liu flew above the clouds into the stars, where the fragment healed his injuries and restored his strength.

Murong Liu endured the Star Immortal Realm’s inheritance as images overwhelmed his sea of consciousness and left him unable to move. By synchronizing his thoughts with the sound of dripping water, he controlled and expelled the images, saw a star appear, and regained movement.

• Murong Liu realized that the Heaven-Mending Fragment’s inheritance was flooding his sea of consciousness with images while immobilizing his body.
• He understood that he had to accept the images without resisting, though the strain made his spiritual power increasingly fragile.

• A star appeared in his mind, and Murong Liu opened his eyes and discovered that he could move again.

Murong Liu became the Lord of the Firmament of the Star Immortal Realm after an unknown figure helped guide him through the Heaven-Mending Fragment’s inheritance. Lin Yu investigated the mysterious intervention while Feng Yaoyang headed to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea to look into Feng Lingling’s danger.

• Murong Liu described hearing the sound of flowing water in his sea of consciousness, and Lin Yu questioned him about any other unusual signs.

Lin Yu set aside the mystery of the cultivator who had entered the Star Immortal Realm inheritance and ordered Murong Liu to help expand the Primordial Hall’s influence. In the Red Sun Immortal World, He Buxian tracked a demonic beast whose unusual power might be connected to the missing Heaven-Mending Fragment, then found a hidden vantage point into its cave.

• Lin Yu ordered Murong Liu to return to the Star Immortal Realm and let the Primordial Hall’s forces gradually spread there.

• He Buxian searched the Red Sun Immortal World for its awakened Heaven-Mending Fragment but could not sense it.
• He Buxian spotted a demonic beast with both the world’s pure Spiritual Qi and another unusual power, and quietly followed it toward a cave.
• He Buxian noticed a shadowed opening high inside the cave and discovered that he could use it to see what was happening within.

He Buxian investigated a cave where several unusually powerful demonic beasts had gathered, hoping to find the cause of their strange spiritual power. He found a stone that carried the presence of a Heaven-Mending Fragment, then escaped the beasts by setting the cave ablaze and fleeing with it.

• He Buxian cautiously watched six or seven powerful demonic beasts gathered inside the cave and realized their spiritual power was abnormal.
• He Buxian concealed his presence, entered the cave, and searched deeper after failing to understand the beasts’ communication.
• He Buxian found a stone on an exquisite platform and sensed the presence of a Heaven-Mending Fragment in it.
• The demonic beasts discovered He Buxian and attacked, so he grabbed the stone and tried to escape, only to find three beasts guarding the entrance.
• He Buxian spat fire from his wine flask, ignited vegetation in the cave, and escaped amid the flames as the beasts fled.
• He Buxian ran from the cave with the strange stone and put considerable distance between himself and the beasts.

He Buxian discovered that a strange stone was drawing demonic beasts to him, so he fought them off with living ink-drawn lions and sword techniques. He headed for Red Peak City to ask the Red Peak Gang’s great elder about the stone, renewing their friendship despite their age gap.

• He Buxian realized the stone was likely what let the demonic beasts track him and decided he had to defeat them.
• He Buxian drank from his wine flask, drew lions into existence, and joined them in fighting the pursuing beasts.
• He Buxian killed the demonic beasts with his sword techniques and watched the local plants absorb their bodies.
• He Buxian located Red Peak City and went to seek out the Red Peak Gang’s great elder for help understanding the stone.
• He Buxian and the great elder became friends after discovering that they both enjoyed drinking, and the elder had helped him during his time in the Red Sun Immortal World.

He Buxian brought the Red Peak Gang's grand elder a stone carrying the energy of a Heaven-Mending Fragment, though it was not itself a fragment. They suspected Lin Yu was responsible, but He Buxian knew Lin Yu had never visited the Red Sun Immortal Realm.

• The grand elder dismissed a subordinate, then revealed he had noticed He Buxian hiding in the courtyard.
• He Buxian explained that he had found no Heaven-Mending Fragment and asked the grand elder to examine a strange stone.
• The grand elder sensed that the stone carried spiritual power unlike that of the Red Sun Immortal World, including the energy of a Heaven-Mending Fragment.
• The grand elder and He Buxian concluded that Lin Yu might have imbued the stone with the fragment's energy.
• He Buxian noted that Lin Yu had never been to the Red Sun Immortal Realm.

He Buxian was caught in a snow-covered domain where his spiritual power slowed and the Grand Elder became petrified and exploded into powder. When Red Peak Gang disciples arrived and the strange pressure vanished, they blamed He Buxian for the Grand Elder’s death, leaving him struggling to defend himself.

• The Grand Elder’s eyes suddenly became lively before the courtyard transformed into a snow-covered mountain that pressed down on He Buxian and slowed his spiritual power.
• The Primordial Token emitted a blue-green light that helped He Buxian remain conscious while the Grand Elder stood frozen like a stone statue.
• A chaotic force entered He Buxian’s body, and the petrified Grand Elder cracked apart and crumbled into powder.
• Red Peak Gang disciples arrived, causing the pressure to disappear and the Chaos Qi to leave He Buxian’s body unnoticed.
• The disciples accused He Buxian of killing the Grand Elder, and he denied the charge as they turned against him.

• The Red Peak Gang disciples accused He Buxian of killing their grand elder, insisting that only the two of them had been present.
• He Buxian explained that Chaos Qi had controlled him and that he had found the grand elder dead when his senses returned.
• The disciples rejected his account, reasoning that he could have used an Origin Technique and demanding proof of the Chaos Qi.
• He Buxian argued that he had no motive to kill the grand elder and could have fought his way out instead of explaining himself.
• A Red Peak Gang disciple called for them to subdue He Buxian and question him, and the others agreed.
• He Buxian grew angry as the disciples prepared to attack, wondering why they ignored the grand elder's respect for him.

• He Buxian felt the Chaos Qi in his sea of consciousness and realized it had influenced his fearful thoughts before it vanished.
• He Buxian clenched his fist and vowed to avenge the grand elder.

Lin Yu sensed the mysterious Chaos Qi that had enveloped He Buxian, but the system could not trace its source. He then encountered black mist filled with tiny creatures and learned that it shared a source with the Heaven-Mending Fragment and could only be neutralized with an Origin Technique.

• Lin Yu sensed He Buxian’s presence vanish and return, and felt a deep fear from the power that had surrounded him.
• Lin Yu asked the system to trace the Chaos Qi, but it could not find a source.
• Black mist containing strange, tiny creatures appeared near Lin Yu, and his lightning dispersed it only for it to gather again.
• Lin Yu let the mist surround him while he probed it with his spiritual power.
• The system identified the black mist as sharing a source with the Heaven-Mending Fragment and said an Origin Technique could neutralize it.
