After several days, Wang Shouzhe met Prince Wenyu at Drunken Immortal Tower, where his deliberately flirtatious behavior angered the female general accompanying the prince.

As Prince Wenyu ordered the price war to continue despite a rumor campaign, Lüqiu Qingyang gathered her elite female soldiers and invited Wang Shouzhe to inspect her Qingyang Legion.

Meanwhile, Qiu Qingyang resolved to improve her bloodline so she could defeat Wang Shouzhe, while Prince Wenyu continued his pressure without realizing the traps being laid for him.

• Prince Wenyu rejected a proposal to buy cheap grain, ordered continued price suppression and tighter oversight of the Jiang Clan, and remained unaware of Wang Shouzhe's plans.

Wang Shouzhe advanced his bloodline to the middle Saint Son grade while traveling to the contested immortal's cave estate, as Luqiu Qingyang's elevation to Princess Qingyang unsettled Prince Wenyu. At the ruins, Wang Shouzhe reunited with Saint Son Qingyuan and Saint Daughter Shuiyue before Sacred Venerable Yunpeng arrived.

• Sacred Venerable Yunpeng entered the cloudship after Saint Son Qingyuan warned Wang Shouzhe not to reveal his connection to Lici.

• Saint Son Qingyuan hinted that Wang Shouzhe had Saint Son bloodline potential, prompting Sacred Venerable Yunpeng to urge him to join the Primordial Dao Palace.
• Wang Shouzhe declined to become Sacred Venerable Yunpeng’s disciple because he had other plans, but offered to introduce him to another talented disciple.

Meanwhile, rumors linking Princess Qingyang to Wang Shouzhe spread through Heavenly Auspice Sacred City, and Wang Baoguang decided to exploit the scandal to launch his magazine.

• Jiang Muxian defeated Gui Yongming and then Si Huazang, winning first place and the relic key from Sacred Venerable Yunpeng.
• Wang Shouzhe activated the key and entered the minor grotto-heaven with Jiang Muxian, then closed the passage before Sacred Venerable Yunpeng could follow.
• Wang Shouzhe and Jiang Muxian explored the grotto-heaven and found a courtyard marked as a Guiyuan Sect Branch Residence, where the Artifact Spirit Yuanyuan emerged and chose Jiang Muxian as her master.
• Princess Qingyang angrily ordered Aunt Sun to investigate rumors claiming she was bewitched by Wang Shouzhe and hoped to make him her consort.
• Wang Baoguang and Cai Youdao listened to a storyteller spread gossip about Princess Qingyang, and Wang Baoguang planned to print the rumors in their magazine and distribute it for free.

Wang Shouzhe and Jiang Muxian inherited the Guiyuan Immortal Residence and uncovered a vast treasury of spirit stones, rare seeds, artifacts, and other resources. After arranging for Sacred Venerable Yunpeng and others to move the residence to Tianrui Holy City, Wang Shouzhe arrived there and learned that Wang Baoguang had published a magazine alleging he was having an affair with Princess Qingyang.

• Wang Shouzhe saw the magazine cover portraying him bullying Princess Qingyang and demanded that Wang Baoguang come see him.

Wang Baoguang explained his scheme to use Sacred City gossip to turn the princes against one another, while Wang Shouzhe ordered him to refine the plan and keep his identity hidden.

After the estate was settled and its seventh-rank spirit rice was tasted, Green Little Yi announced that the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo’s consciousness had awakened, and Wang Shouzhe named it Wang Zongzhu.

• The East Sea Immortal King accused Wang Shouzhe of bullying Qingyang and proposed marriage negotiations, but Wang Shouzhe rejected the claims and refused to entertain the match.

• Green Little Yi arrived and reported that the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo’s consciousness had awakened, so Wang Shouzhe named the bamboo Wang Zongzhu.

Over ten years, Wang Shouzhe’s plans gradually tightened their grip on Spirit Rice supplies as the Sacred Domain Development Headquarters bought spirit medicines and grain while families shifted away from growing rice. With Prince Wenyu’s estate nearing a crisis and the princes’ rivalry temporarily easing, Wang Shouzhe and his allies decided the moment had come to close the net.

• Wang Shouzhe spent ten years farming at the Guiyuan Branch Residence and raising Wang Zongzhu while political conflicts among Prince Xichen, Prince Wenyu, and Prince Hongzhou consumed Heavenly Auspice Sacred City.

• Wang Baoguang and Ji Yue'er urged Wang Shouzhe to act before Prince Wenyu responded to the worsening Spirit Rice shortage, and Wang Shouzhe ordered them to close the net according to plan.

Grain prices surged after years of suppression, exposing how Prince Wenyu’s policies had depleted the Heavenly Auspice Sacred Dynasty’s reserves and left it vulnerable to war. The Holy Emperor ordered Prince Wenyu to seek grain from Wang Shouzhe, who refused to meet him and instead continued tutoring Wang Zongzhu.

• Dongye Fantian mocked Beigong Bohong for holding onto Spirit Rice, but Beigong Bohong’s brother-in-law announced that grain prices had doubled.
• Major grain merchants competed to buy Beigong Bohong’s stored grain, while he declined to sell it all at once and Dongye Fantian regretted selling his own reserves.
• Helian Duocai told Prince Wenyu that the grain shortage had been worsened by families switching their fields to spirit medicines, and Prince Wenyu learned that two of the Sacred City’s three grain warehouses were already empty.
• Yao Xingshu explained that the Yao Clan and other major families had little grain to spare, while Helian Duocai estimated that compensating them to switch back to Spirit Rice would cost more than thirty Chaos Spirit Stones.
• The Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor warned Prince Wenyu that the grain shortage could invite an attack from the Heavenly Prosperity Sacred Dynasty, then ordered him to obtain grain from Wang Shouzhe.
• Prince Wenyu requested an audience with Wang Shouzhe, but Wang Shouzhe told Jiang Muxian to turn him away and continued giving Wang Zongzhu math problems.

Wang Shouzhe forced Prince Wenyu to buy his enormous grain reserves for forty-five Chaos Spirit Stones and secured a miniature eighth-grade Fire Spirit Vein with the Holy Emperor’s intervention. He gathered five miniature eighth-grade spirit veins, planted the Five-Colored Spirit-Nurturing Tree in his Portable Cave Abode, and prepared to turn his remaining wealth into spirit veins for the Divine Martial World.

• Prince Wenyu waited more than ten days to meet Wang Shouzhe, then offered Jiang Muxian a thread of Chaos Origin while seeking to repair their relationship.
• Wang Shouzhe revealed that he held seven years of the Sacred Dynasty’s grain output and demanded forty-nine Chaos Spirit Stones for all his reserves, refusing Prince Wenyu’s attempt to bargain the price down.
• The Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor arrived, reprimanded Prince Wenyu, and helped settle the grain purchase at forty-five Chaos Spirit Stones in exchange for Wang Shouzhe’s request for a miniature eighth-grade Fire Spirit Vein.
• Wang Shouzhe received the fire spirit vein and later gathered miniature eighth-grade metal, water, wood, and earth spirit veins from other powers.
• Cai Youdao buried the five spirit veins in Wang Shouzhe’s Portable Cave Abode, creating an eighth-grade spirit field, and Wang Shouzhe planted and catalyzed the Five-Colored Spirit-Nurturing Tree seed.
• Wang Shouzhe resolved to use his remaining Chaos Spirit Stones to acquire spirit veins and transport them back to the Divine Martial World.

Wang Shouzhe prepared to leave the Heavenly Auspice Sacred Dynasty while continuing to acquire Spirit Veins through Divine Treasure Hall. Prince Wenyu and Xiangyao Sacred Consort plotted to lure him into a trap, but their scheme was exposed, leaving Prince Wenyu surrounded by the Holy Emperor’s Imperial Guard.

• Wang Shouzhe told Dongfang Zhenyuan that he was leaving and arranged for his family to continue buying Spirit Veins through Divine Treasure Hall.
• Xiangyao Sacred Consort persuaded Prince Wenyu to offer Wang Shouzhe a hidden Grade Seven Spirit Vein, planning to separate his guardian Sacred Venerable and draw him into a trap.
• Yao Xing Shu delivered Prince Wenyu’s offer, and Wang Shouzhe sent a Sacred Venerable to verify and extract the Spirit Vein before agreeing to visit Cuiwei Residence.
• Prince Wenyu waited at Cuiwei Residence while Xiangyao Sacred Consort disguised herself among the dancers, but Pei Chang'an arrived with a magazine exposing their secret meeting.
• The Holy Emperor’s Imperial Guard, led by Lan Wanghai, surrounded Cuiwei Residence as Wang Shouzhe, Sacred Venerable Yunpeng, and Wang Baoguang watched from nearby.

Consort Xiangyao’s secret meeting with Prince Wenyu was exposed, revealing her as the Saint Daughter of the Great Nirvana Temple. When the Nirvana Buddha Lord appeared to rescue her from the Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor, Sacred Venerable Yunpeng intervened and refused to let them leave.

• Consort Xiangyao used Instant Sumeru to escape Cuiwei Residence, but Sacred Venerable Yunpeng disrupted her technique and exposed her before the Imperial Guards.
• Lan Wanghai attacked Consort Xiangyao, but she used the Secret Lotus Treasure Wheel and her Nirvana Image to defeat him and flee the encirclement.
• The Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor appeared in person and restrained Consort Xiangyao, who summoned a projection of the Nirvana Buddha Lord to break free and protect her.
• Wang Shouzhe urged Sacred Venerable Yunpeng to intervene, warning that Baoguang would publicize his inaction if he let the Nirvana Buddha Lord take Xiangyao away.
• Sacred Venerable Yunpeng confronted the Nirvana Buddha Lord and demanded that he leave Consort Xiangyao behind, bringing the standoff to a halt.

Buddha Lord Nirvana settled the dispute over Saint Daughter Xiangyao by paying Sacred Venerable Yunpeng twenty Chaos Spirit Stones, a sacred artifact, and an Udumbara Buddha Fruit. After dividing the spoils and handling affairs in the Sacred Domain, Wang Shouzhe returned to the Divine Martial World and boarded a public Cloud Ray Flying Ship, where he met a girl named Wang Jinyu and realized she belonged to his clan.

• Buddha Lord Nirvana agreed to Sacred Venerable Yunpeng's demands and departed with Saint Daughter Xiangyao after handing over the compensation.
• The Heavenly Auspice Sacred Emperor stripped Prince Wen Yu of his title and ordered him sent to the Void Battlefield.
• Wang Shouzhe, Sacred Venerable Yunpeng, and the Heavenly Auspice Sacred Emperor divided the compensation, with Wang Shouzhe taking the Udumbara Buddha Fruit.
• Wang Shouzhe appointed Wang Youping steward of the Guiyuan Branch Residence and improved his bloodline aptitude before leaving the Sacred Domain with Yun Tiange and Cai Youdao.
• Wang Shouzhe and Cai Youdao boarded a public Cloud Ray Flying Ship from Cold Moon Immortal City to Xinping Town, where Wang Jinyu approached Wang Shouzhe and introduced herself.

Wang Shouzhe reunited with his descendants aboard the Cloud Ray Flying Ship after Wang Jinyu mistook him for a suitable boyfriend for her aunt, Wang Guilan. Once Wang Fuheng identified him as their Ancestor-Grandfather, Wang Shouzhe welcomed the younger members of the family and gave them cultivation treasures, while Cai Youdao marveled at the clan’s many talented descendants.

• Wang Jinyu asked Wang Shouzhe to meet Wang Guilan as a potential boyfriend, and Wang Guilan arrived and warned her niece to be cautious of strangers.
• Cai Youdao made lecherous remarks about the two girls, prompting Wang Guilan to distrust Wang Shouzhe and Cai Youdao as Wang Shouzhe tried to reveal that he was their ancestor.
• Wang Fuheng recognized Wang Shouzhe, addressed him as Ancestor-Grandfather, and led him and the girls to the VIP cabin.
• Wang Shouzhe explained that he did not blame Wang Guilan and Wang Jinyu for failing to recognize him, then heard from Wang Fuheng about their trip to the Immortal Dynasty and Guilan’s prospective matches.
• Wang Shouzhe gave Wang Jinyu and Wang Guilan eighth-grade Rebirth Pills and divine ability Spirit Treasure-level Storage Rings, then gave Wang Fuheng a Dao Artifact-level Storage Ring and a tenth-grade Ascension Immortal Pill.
• Wang Shouzhe told Wang Fuheng to record the gifts and charge them against his family contributions, while Cai Youdao realized how many talented descendants Wang Shouzhe had.

Wang Shouzhe returned to the Wang Clan and set plans in motion for expanding alchemy production and advancing the campaign against the Demon Realm. After Liu Ruolan and Yun Tiange declined the Udumbara Buddha Fruit, Wang Shouzhe consumed it himself and entered a state of enlightenment.

• Wang Shouye learned that Wang Shouzhe had returned, left Imperial Princess Luo Jia to Dongfang Lingrou, and rushed to meet his brother, but Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard remained closed for half a month.
• Wang Shouzhe urged Wang Shouye to keep refining Rebirth Immortal Pills and prepare for ninth-rank Boundless Pills, while outlining plans to expand mass production of low-grade pills.
• Wang Shouzhe introduced Cai Youdao to Wang Fugui and Wang Baosheng, and they revised their Demon Realm strategy around the possibility that Cai Youdao could briefly wield Sacred Venerable-level power.
