• Ning Chuan asked Ye Qingwu about the Nine Clouds Wind Bat and said he intended to kill the Law Spirit as a warning to others.
• Ye Qingwu warned that the Nine Clouds Wind Bat was a cunning, ruthless peak Earth Realm fighter, and said killing him would have a deterrent effect comparable to killing the Black Heaven Demonic Ape.

Ning Chuan learned about the Black Heaven Demonic Ape and the Law Spirits of the Mythic Era, then agreed to help Ye Qingwu find the Hidden Killing Tower's inheritance in exchange for protecting her soul. He and the Federation's forces began hunting Law Spirits that night.

Ning Chuan hunted down Law Spirits across the Federation, killing them with overwhelming force and suppressing blood sacrifices. Though his actions made the Law Spirits fear him, the vast territory and limited support left him unable to eradicate the turmoil alone.

• In Zhouhe City, Ning Chuan trapped three fleeing Law Spirits with Black Heavenly Dragon Chains and annihilated them with a seal of mountains and rivers.

• Over the next few days, Ning Chuan killed Law Spirits across the Federation, curbing blood sacrifices and driving others to flee or yield.
• Ning Chuan killed a Sea Realm Law Spirit who tried to detonate his innate Heart of Law, then recognized that the Federation's size and the weakness of his allies made quelling the turmoil a burden only he could bear.

Ning Chuan sought a way to improve his detection so he could find and stop every Law Spirit, and learned about the Insight Divine Eye and its potential to survey Martial Star. He left with the Heaven-Reaching Vine’s sap in mind as a way to increase his chance of opening an eye Divine Treasure, though he hoped his first Divine Treasure would be the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye.

• While patrolling the Federation, Ning Chuan realized that his detection range and speed were insufficient to monitor all 33 base cities and considered reaching the Divine Treasure Realm.
• Ning Chuan asked Bai Zhi about Divine Treasures that could improve detection and revealed that his base strength limit was 49 million tons, astonishing Bai Zhi, Le Yu, and Momo.
• Bai Zhi explained that the Insight Divine Eye could trace events through time, track Law Spirits through Dimensional Space, locate spatial anchors, and potentially observe all of Martial Star.
• Bai Zhi said that Heaven-Reaching Vine sap could improve the chance of opening an eye Divine Treasure, but could not guarantee the Insight Divine Eye specifically.
• Bai Zhi recommended the offensive Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, while Ning Chuan acknowledged its power and said he could only hope his first Divine Treasure would be as strong as possible.

Ning Chuan blackmailed Mo Shangyuan and the Moxuan Consortium and three-family alliance for a Spirit of Law Comprehension, threatening to expose their Ancient Pilgrimage Path locations.

• Ning Chuan resumed hunting Law Spirits, and Mo Shangyuan called to ask which Spirit of Law Comprehension he wanted.

Ning Chuan bargained with Mo Shangyuan for a Spirit of Law Comprehension for the Void Law, and they agreed on a divided payment tied to Martial Star’s revival. While continuing to hunt Law Spirits and deter blood sacrifices, Ning Chuan found a Void Rat Law Spirit and attacked it.

• Ning Chuan demanded a Void Law Spirit of Law Comprehension within three days, threatening to expose the four Ancient Pilgrimage Paths if the factions refused.
• Mo Shangyuan proposed splitting the Spirit of Law Comprehension into two parts, and Ning Chuan insisted the first part reach Great River Realm perfection before agreeing to collect it at the Moxuan Consortium’s Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
• Ning Chuan continued patrolling the Federation, and the decline in blood sacrifices left him hoping to kill an Earth Realm Law Spirit to strengthen his deterrence.
• On May 13, a Divine General reported a village blood sacrifice in the Moyang Administrative Region, and Ning Chuan hurried there and detected three Law Spirits acting separately.
• Ning Chuan recognized the strongest Law Spirit as a Void Rat follower of the Nine Clouds Wind Bat, responsible for collecting energy from subordinate Law Spirits.
• Ning Chuan launched three Gloomlight Spears, killing two Great River Realm Law Spirits as the Void Rat sensed the deadly attack approaching.

After leaving Bai Xiuxiu, Ning Chuan detected the escaped Void Rat Law Spirit and prepared to hunt it.

• Liu Yuan contacted Nie Yang for help, and Ning Chuan realized Nie Yang doubted whether Liu Yuan was a genuine Divine Slave.
• Ning Chuan disguised himself as Cloud Shadow Divine General, told Liu Yuan that the Federation had exposed their identities, and asked him to seek permission to share the Divine Kingdom’s contact method.

• Ning Chuan returned to Bai Xiuxiu and explained that posing as a Divine Slave was a low-risk attempt to infiltrate the group.
• Ning Chuan sensed the escaped Void Rat Law Spirit, which was hiding in a primeval forest three thousand kilometers away.

• Ning Chuan returned to his office and reunited with Luo Qin before summoning Bai Qi, Wei Chen, Ye Wuchen, Lu Zhan, and the others to receive Spirits of Law Comprehension.

The Law Spirits formed an alliance to attack the Federation, but Ning Chuan vowed to kill them all; Martial Star revived on May 25.
