Ning Chuan fought Si Nanbo above the emerging Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth, then chose the Spirit Refining Sea as his best chance to survive and claim the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s inheritance. Si Nanbo proved largely unaffected by the sea’s soul pressure, while Ning Chuan plunged deeper toward a secluded cultivation chamber, staking his life on comprehending the Dragon Elephant Law within a month.

• Ning Chuan fled Si Nanbo into the Spirit Refining Sea and vanished through one of forty-eight hidden whirlpools, leaving Si Nanbo to wait for the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth.

• Zhang Tianzhi’s avatar fled toward a sea vortex, but Ning Chuan used the Heaven Severing Slash to cut it apart and kill him completely.

He headed to the Holy Medicine Garden to strengthen himself and reunited with Bai Zhi, who was astonished that he had fully comprehended the Dragon Elephant Law.

He discovered that its fusion involved thirty-three Mystic Truths and realized its power could grow by commanding the many Mystic Truths he had mastered.

• Ning Chuan named their fusion the Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth and activated it, releasing an ancient, chaotic might that nearly crushed the void.
• Ning Chuan judged the Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth’s power against the Ends of the World Mystic Truth, then realized it could command other Mystic Truths and Laws to increase its strength.

Ning Chuan used the Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth to control more than two thousand Mystic Truths and dramatically increased the power of his Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons. After fusing compatible Divine Weapons, he realized his offensive power might surpass Bai Zhi’s, then discussed the resemblance between his martial art and the Supreme Divine Hall’s inheritance.

• Ning Chuan incorporated more than two thousand Mystic Truths, including the Third Heaven Space Cutting Law, into the Ultimate Weapon Mystic Truth and found it still had room to grow.
• Ning Chuan unleashed the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons and judged that his Force alone could contend with top Great River Realm Heavenly Kings.

• Ning Chuan asked Bai Zhi about the Supreme Divine Hall, and she described its nine divine sons, including the ninth, who became a True God in a thousand years before perishing with Martial Star’s other experts.
• Bai Zhi said she could not remember what ended the glorious era, but recalled that Martial Star’s forces had pursued an undertaking as significant as establishing an immortal dynasty of everlasting life in the mortal world.
• Ning Chuan asked about body cultivation, and Bai Zhi outlined its four realms: Foundation Forging, Mortal Transcendence, Divine Treasure, and Divine Body.
• Bai Zhi explained that the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture required strength equivalent to at least forty-nine flood dragons and determined the kind of Divine Body its cultivator would forge.
• Bai Zhi urged Ning Chuan to succeed and protect Martial Star’s human race from foreign enemies, and Ning Chuan said he would do his best.

Bai Zhi explained the body cultivation realms and the unpredictable Divine Treasures to Ning Chuan, then told him how Si Nanbo was connected to the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s supreme inheritance. Ning Chuan decided to go to the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth and attempt the final trial for the inheritance stone.

• Bai Zhi explained that Mortal Transcendence fused soul and flesh, and that a body cultivator’s strength depended on their technique and soul talent.
• Bai Zhi described the Divine Treasure Realm, where cultivators opened an unpredictable number of Divine Treasures before forging a Divine Body.

Ning Chuan left the Holy Medicine Garden and reached the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth, where he learned the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage was likely in its canopy. He bypassed the tree’s first trial using his true disciple identity token, leaving the watching Knights to speculate that the tree had recognized his talent.

• Bai Zhi told Ning Chuan the Prison Realm’s suppressive fluctuations should return, and that it could maintain them for the last few days before its destruction once he obtained the Inheritance Stone.
• Ning Chuan traveled east to the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth and saw Knights repeatedly knocked back by the roots while trying to reach its central gateway.
• A middle-aged Knight told Ning Chuan that the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage was believed to be in the canopy, though attempts by Heavenly Kings to enter it from outside had failed.
• Ning Chuan entered the roots and used his true disciple identity token to halt their attacks, then passed through the gateway without taking the first trial.
• The Knights debated why Ning Chuan had bypassed the trial, and his Supreme Hall informant claimed the tree had recognized his peerless talent.

Ning Chuan passed the second and third trials with ease and reached the crown of the Ancient Tree of Heaven and Earth, where the Inheritance Stone awaited beyond two more trials. When Si Nanbo and the Holy Heaven Alliance attacked the Federation’s experts, Ning Chuan rushed through the fourth trial to intervene, but Li Huo moved to intercept him.

• Ning Chuan resisted the soul attacks in the second trial and used his true disciple identity token to cancel the pain of the third trial.
• Ning Chuan emerged into the crown, found Dong Kaiming and other experts stalled at the fourth trial, and saw Ye Wuchen’s group facing the final trial beneath the Inheritance Stone.
• Dong Kaiming explained that the fourth trial tested body-cultivation talent, while Ning Chuan recognized its insights as useless to him.
• Si Nanbo persuaded Xiao Chen and Xu Liyuan to help weaken the Federation, then attacked Ye Wuchen’s group alongside the Holy Heaven Alliance vice leaders.
• Ning Chuan raced through the fourth trial to reach the fifth-trial area, and Li Huo abandoned his attack on Ye Wuchen to intercept him.

Ning Chuan killed Li Huo’s true body with one slash, forcing Li Huo’s surviving avatar to flee. When the Holy Heaven Alliance’s deputy leaders Xiao Chen and Xu Liyuan attacked to stop him, Ning Chuan destroyed both of their attacks with a single sweep of his saber.

• Ning Chuan drew his saber and overwhelmed Li Huo with Heaven-Chaos Force, cutting through his defenses and killing his true body in one strike.
• Li Huo’s avatar survived, but after recognizing that another blow would kill him, he fled from Ning Chuan.
• Xiao Chen and Xu Liyuan rushed to aid Li Huo and attacked Ning Chuan from a distance with the Heaven-Overturning Seal and the Brahma Spear.
• Ning Chuan swept his saber through both attacks, obliterating the Brahma Spear and splitting the Heaven-Overturning Seal in two.

Ning Chuan rescued the Federation fighters and defeated Si Nanbo with a single saber strike, revealing that his strength had surpassed the top Great River Realm Heavenly Kings. As Si Nanbo gathered three other Heavenly Kings for a group attack, Ning Chuan refused Ye Wuchen’s offer of help and prepared to face them alone.
