Suokes learned that Daoist Sanfeng, Killer, Martial God, and Madman had defeated the Giant Axe Arena’s first-rank elites with extraordinary abilities. Meanwhile, an alien ship arrived near Earth and its crew believed Babata’s fabricated reports that the planet was defenseless, leaving them unaware that their ship’s control AI had been taken over.

Back in the Virtual Universe, they learned that Nolan Shan himself wanted to take them as students, but they decided he was not qualified to teach them.

• Zhang Junbao questioned Bro Nolan Mountain, while Babata confirmed that the captured adventurers were Nolan Shan Family pirates and that he had intercepted their messages about Earth.

• Zhang Junbao and the others rejected Nolan Shan as an instructor because Hu Yanbo’s legacy and Babata could guide them better.

• Man Luo explained that joining would let them undertake life-and-death trials in a Cosmic Secret Realm far more dangerous than a World Lord World, while warning them not to advance to Universe Level before the Genius Battle.

Zhang Junbao and his companions accepted Man Luo’s offer to join the Virtual Universe Company, and they witnessed the gulf between Immortal experts before leaving Earth for the universe. As Zhang Junbao departed, Luo Feng urged him to consider Xu Yan’s feelings, leaving him to promise an answer when he returned.

Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God entered the Lost Secret Realm, where heavy gravity and fog limited their senses and concealed deadly savage beasts. After surviving a swarm of Biduoli Mosquitoes, they continued searching for the Universe Level Illusion Demon Tree, which Babata warned could fill the realm with a maze blending reality and illusion.

• Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God found that the Lost Secret Realm’s 12,000-times-Earth gravity and unusual fog severely restricted their movement and detection.
• Babata warned the group about a nearby savage beast, and Zhang Junbao blocked a Biduoli Mosquito’s attack before it vanished into the fog.

Zhang Junbao and the others were separated by the Illusion Demon Tree’s fog and discovered that unstable space had scattered them across its hunting ground. After finding the tree’s direction through Moyun, Zhang Junbao killed a controlled genius and prepared to face the 1,321 attackers closing in on him.

• Zhang Junbao detected 1,321 geniuses surrounding him, formed the Heavenly Dipper Thirty-Six Transformations Array with the Arc Blade Disc, and charged into the attackers.

• Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng escaped their illusions, and Hong challenged the Illusion Demon Tree in hopes of subduing it.
• On the third day, Zhang Junbao encountered Third Prince Keller after Keller killed attendants who had fallen under the tree’s control.
• Zhang Junbao refused Keller’s order to join him, and Keller threatened him for defying the prince.

• Rekton arrived at the secret realm, demanded Keller’s remains, and attacked Ming Yu when he tried to stop him.
• Rekton left after secretly sending a strike into the secret realm, destabilizing space and unleashing a spatial storm.
• Zhang Junbao used his domain to move with the storm, Luo Feng hid underground as the Golden Horned Beast, and Hong took Thunder God inside the Illusion Demon Tree for shelter.

Zhang Junbao survived the space storm and gained a deeper understanding of the Space-Time Law, but the storm merged the Lost Secret Realm with an unknown ancient battlefield. Stranded with no clear way back, he set out to find the Illusion Demon Tree as a shattered will began to awaken elsewhere.

• A space storm swept through the Lost Secret Realm, and Zhang Junbao used it to deepen his comprehension of the Space-Time Law and the Law of Light.
• When the storm stopped, Zhang Junbao discovered that the Lost Secret Realm had merged with an ancient battlefield, leaving the original exit and the fates of Hong and Thunder God uncertain.
• Ming Yu told Zhang Junbao that the training mission had been canceled, Man Luo was searching for the merged realm, and Zhang Junbao should seek the Illusion Demon Tree.
• Zhang Junbao learned that Moyun could still sense the distant Illusion Demon Tree and cautiously traveled across the battlefield while Babata tried to contact Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God.
• After Zhang Junbao found that the battlefield's old weapons had crumbled away, a shattered will awakened as the space storm reached and vanished into it.

After the space storm scattered them, Luo Feng and Zhang Junbao agreed to search separately for the Illusion Demon Tree, their only known way out of the fused secret realm. Babata discovered that the realm was likely part of a shattered Immortal expert’s God Kingdom, and Zhang Junbao began collecting enormous deposits of Universe Crystal before heading toward a ruined palace.

Babata opened the palace treasury using identity authorization, leaving its precious emerald cloud gold mother vault ready to be looted.

• Babata and Zhang Junbao admired the vast palace complex and Babata sent flying robots to scan it.
• Babata found an enormous palace built from Heavenly Dipper Wood, and the Cloud-Touching Vine reacted excitedly to its vitality.

• Babata led Zhang Junbao to the treasury and explained that its emerald cloud gold mother construction and secret patterns made it exceptionally well defended.
• Babata used identity authorization to open the treasury and announced that he would take both the treasures and the vault.

Zhang Junbao explored a vast treasury and gave a Life Fruit to Moyun so the Cloud-Touching Vine could evolve. The Space-Time Hunyuan Sword chose him, recognized him as its master, and enabled him to master its first form, leaving him better equipped for the upcoming universe Genius Battle.

• Babata showed Zhang Junbao the treasury's 108 Life Fruits and explained their extraordinary vitality and value.

Zhang Junbao found the two most valuable treasures missing from the vault and followed the palace’s blast damage to the corpse of its former master, the Divine Eye Marquis, Forrest. The Marquis’s final memory revealed that a destructive soul remnant had killed him and warned that others like it might threaten the universe.

• Babata panicked when Zhang Junbao found the vault’s top level empty, but Zhang Junbao calmed him and reasoned that the dead master may have taken the missing treasures into battle.
• Zhang Junbao stored the vault’s remaining treasures in a newly found ring and went alone to investigate the explosion while Moyun continued evolving.
• Zhang Junbao found the dead Divine Eye Marquis, Forrest, in the palace hall and bowed to him in gratitude for the legacy he had received.
• Forrest’s memory explained that a chaotic soul fragment had invaded his soul and that he sacrificed the life force of his God Kingdom’s inhabitants to destroy it.
• Forrest warned that other shattered soul remnants existed and asked Zhang Junbao to look after the Heavenly Spirit Empire.

Zhang Junbao survived the Divine Eye Marquis’s chaotic remnant will and gained deep insights into the laws, then helped Babata create a new intelligent life. The newborn, named Feitian, recognized Zhang Junbao as her master and immediately began teasing Babata.

• Zhang Junbao promised to honor the Divine Eye Marquis’s request to destroy similar remnant souls, then proved to Babata that he was still himself.
• When Zhang Junbao’s Spiritual Force touched the Divine Eye Marquis, chaotic thoughts invaded his soul, but he used the True Meaning of Taiji to organize them and absorb their law insights.
• After a month, Zhang Junbao awoke with his mental power amplitude above 300 and safely took the Divine Eye Marquis’s Space Ring.
• Babata transferred his database into the primordial intelligent soul, activated it, and helped Zhang Junbao imprint it as his master.
• The new intelligent life took the form of a little girl, chose the name Feitian, and mocked Babata after he declared himself her father.
