Lin Heng and his companions crossed the Drifting Fire Desert, where he used Solar Saint Fire to adapt to its Great Yang Magnetic Force and Duanmu Yunshang began trying to subdue a cluster. At ancient ruins in the desert’s center, the Evil Emperor sensed danger around a towering altar and detected a horde of Sand Fire Demons rushing toward them underground.

• The Evil Emperor trapped a descending cluster of Solar Saint Fire and determined it contained Great Yang Magnetic Force.

• The Evil Emperor detected numerous powerful presences approaching from underground and warned everyone to prepare for battle against the Sand Fire Demons.

Lin Heng and his companions fought the Saint Realm Sand Fire Demons surrounding the ruins, but the demons’ resistance to the Yin-Yang Mirror and their rapidly regenerating sand-crystal armor made them difficult to defeat.

With the Sand Fire Demons retreating and Evil Emperor devouring the fallen beast, Lin Heng revealed that his pearl was a rare Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

• Lin Heng endured the Flying Heavenly Sparrow's attacks while battling above the ruins, then crashed onto the Fire Sacrifice Platform and received the Taiji Heavenly Magnetic Pearl from the system.
• Lin Heng learned that the pearl was a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure and that the Flying Heavenly Sparrow had mutated after obtaining one of its own.
• After another fifty breaths of fighting, Lin Heng activated his pearl, stopped the heavenly fires, and struck the stunned Flying Heavenly Sparrow down.

• The Sand Fire Demons fled, and Liu Ling'er asked about Lin Heng's pearl; Evil Emperor was astonished when he identified it as a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Lin Heng and his companions explored the fire altar after the Evil Emperor devoured the Flying Heavenly Sparrow, then left the Drifting Fire Desert to search a newly formed mountain range. Aoke and Jifuli later reached the altar and realized they had arrived after its opportunity had been taken.

• Lin Heng used the Calamity-Breaking Heavenly Eye to read the tomb's restriction incantations and decided to return to tell his mother and the others.

Lin Heng and his companions discovered that the fragrance leaking from the tomb weakened the soul, so they delayed entering until they recovered. At the Illusory Heart Tomb’s entrance, Lin Heng signed in and received the Saint Law Restriction of Illusion, which he recognized as the power behind the tomb’s formations.

• Lin Heng warned that the tomb might contain powerful illusions, and the group decided to wait before entering while Liu Ling'er kept the others safe in the Qiankun Ring if needed.
• After inhaling the tomb’s fragrance, Yue Linglong fell unconscious as her soul realm and mastered insights began to decline; the Evil Emperor gave her a Jadeite Dao Splendor Pill to stabilize her.
• Lin Heng, Liu Ling'er, and Duanmu Yunshang also felt the fragrance’s effects, and the group realized the tomb was too dangerous to enter until they recovered.
• The next day, Lin Heng recovered and went with the Evil Emperor to the tomb door, where he signed in and received the Saint Law Restriction of Illusion.
• Lin Heng studied the Saint Law and recognized that it powered the restriction formations at the tomb door and throughout the passage.

Lin Heng and the Evil Emperor navigated the Illusory Heart Tomb’s restriction arrays and maze to reach its burial chamber, where they discovered the tomb’s master was a deceased Great Saint Realm Illusory Heart Grass. Lin Heng signed in and received the sacred technique Eternal Will, learning that the tomb’s lingering will could kill anyone who entered.

• Lin Heng used the Restriction of Illusion to open the tomb doors and neutralize the restriction arrays, while the Evil Emperor wondered how he had mastered the techniques.

• The Evil Emperor determined that the Illusory Heart Grass had been a Great Saint Realm expert before its death.
• Lin Heng signed in at the burial chamber and received the sacred technique Eternal Will, which could leave behind a posthumous attack capable of killing anyone who entered.

Lin Heng warned the Evil Emperor away from the Illusory Heart Grass’s corpse, whose hidden will could unleash a devastating Saint technique, and the two left the tomb chamber. In the maze, they encountered Aoke and Jifuli, and Lin Heng fled with the Evil Emperor as the Devil Race and Asura Race experts chased them.

• Lin Heng stopped the Evil Emperor from touching the Illusory Heart Grass and explained that its lingering will could unleash Illusory Void in a Single Thought.
• Lin Heng and the Evil Emperor left the tomb chamber and wandered through the maze while waiting for his Heavenly Eye to reopen.
• Aoke and Jifuli followed traces of Human Race cultivators to the river, found the open tomb entrance, and entered the maze to search for them.
• After about a day, Aoke and Jifuli encountered Lin Heng and the Evil Emperor as Lin Heng was preparing to lead them out.
• Lin Heng shouted for the Evil Emperor to follow him and ran, while Aoke and Jifuli pursued them through the maze.

• Lin Heng led the Evil Emperor back into the burial chamber and warned her not to touch the Illusory Heart Grass or use overly powerful techniques.
• Aoke collapsed upon entering, and Jifuli fought Lin Heng and the Evil Emperor alone.
• Jifuli brushed against the Illusory Heart Grass during the fight, and a beam of purple light struck him, trapping his consciousness in an illusion.
• Lin Heng explained that they should wait for the grass's fragrance to enter the enemies' seas of consciousness before devouring them, and he received the Saint technique Thousand Illusions Bewitching the Heart from the system.
• Lin Heng tested touching a stem without triggering an attack, then waited while Liu Ling'er, Duanmu Yunshang, and Yue Linglong recovered.
• After most of a day, the Evil Emperor confirmed that the fragrance had entered Aoke's sea of consciousness and began devouring him while Lin Heng watched over the helpless Jifuli.

Lin Heng captured the Illusory Heart Grass after the Evil Emperor fell under its Thousand Illusions Bewitching the Heart technique, then brought her and his companions out of the tomb. Meanwhile, Ye Ruyan arrived in the Heavenly Gate World with Saint Alliance talents and sent most of them away to seek opportunities.

• The Evil Emperor finished devouring Aoke and Jifuli, while Lin Heng gained their special physiques through signing in.
• The Illusory Heart Grass resisted capture and trapped the Evil Emperor in a thousand illusions, but Lin Heng moved her into the Qiankun Ring and then successfully captured the grass.
• Lin Heng escaped the tomb and brought Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang out of the Qiankun Ring, reassuring them that the Evil Emperor would endure the illusion.
• Ye Ruyan told the Saint Alliance talents accompanying her that she did not want them following her, and most of them left to seek opportunities.

• Ye Ruyan set out with Lin Xia and Lin Qiu to complete the Saint Alliance's mission before seeking opportunities.
• After flying across the marshland for two days, Lin Heng, Liu Ling'er, and Duanmu Yunshang rested on a hill beside a lake.
• A Great Saint Realm snake demon attacked them, sending all three flying and leaving Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang coughing up blood.
• Lin Heng sent Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang into the Qiankun Ring, activated the Evil Emperor Netherworld Pearl, and charged back toward the lake.
• Lin Heng fought the snake demon with the Human Emperor Sword, splitting its scales with repeated strikes.

Lin Heng wounded a Great Saint snake demon, then fled when a Great Saint turtle demon awakened and fought it. He returned to the lake the next night and discovered a giant stone hall beneath the water, with the victorious turtle demon guarding its open doors and the treasures inside.

• Lin Heng used Formless Heavenly Devil Kill to badly wound the Great Saint snake demon before a concealed Great Saint turtle demon awakened nearby.
• Lin Heng fled, and the turtle demon and snake demon fought at the great lake; the turtle demon won and devoured the snake demon.
• Lin Heng waited until the following night, then returned to the lake and searched its depths.
• Lin Heng found a vast stone hall slowly rising from the lakebed and saw the turtle demon beside its entrance, eating the snake demon's corpse.
• Lin Heng noticed that the stone hall weakened divine sense and inferred that its treasures had drawn both demons, though neither could obtain them yet.
