The Heaven Patroler, Gu Jianshan, tried to kill Xu Long and Pavilion Master Xu after the Ancestral Spirit took the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram and broke free.

Gu Jianshan unleashed the bronze sword against Feng Fuxi, but the Ancestral Spirit protected Xu Long and subdued the Thunder Gods, allowing Xu Long’s nebula to absorb their power. Gu Jianshan renewed his vow to seal Feng Fuxi and began fighting through the Ancestral Spirit’s formation, awakening from screens that threatened to trap him.

• The Ancestral Spirit raised eight screens that distracted Gu Jianshan and began enclosing the sword, but Gu Jianshan awoke from their illusion and intensified his killing intent.

Xu Long watched the Heaven Patroler battle the Ancestral Spirit, then summoned the Main God to escape the Land of Exile through a spatial rift.

Xu Long opened the weapon treasure chest and received the remaining eighteen swords of the Sea-Overturning Sword Formation, then tried to refine the dangerous fire poison lodged in his meridians. The poison broke through into his Sea of Consciousness, where Xu Long’s sword defenses trapped it as the struggle continued.

• Xu Long reviewed his gains, including the Mist Beast Inner Cores and the pills from the South Si Dao Field.

• The fire poison entered Xu Long’s Sea of Consciousness, where the Wisdom Sword and layers of sword shadows struck it and halted its advance.

Xu Long refined the fire poison, healed his injuries, and used a silver pill to advance to Late Mahayana while continuing to cultivate with the young man.

• Xu Long refined the fire poison in his Sea of Consciousness, allowing his Body of Oblivion to repair his wound and his cultivation to reach its peak.

• Xu Long divided the remaining pills between himself and the young man, and both continued cultivating as their energy stirred strange phenomena in the Divine Kingdom.
• Xu Long resolved to push toward Peak Mahayana because of the coming mission and the threats posed by the Heavenly Palace and powerful beings behind the scenes.
• Xu Long contemplated the immortal path, the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, and the Heart Demon Tribulation that could turn cultivators into puppets.

Xu Long reflected on the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and the resolve of the Heaven Patroler and the Ancestral Spirit as he refined pills in seclusion. He reached Peak Mahayana but remained blocked from the Earth Immortal realm, so he prepared to use two Mist Beast Inner Core potions to break through while facing the Heavenly Palace’s growing threat.

After emerging from seclusion, Xu Long received powerful energy potions from the Red Queen and prepared to enter a new mission world. The Main God sent him to the Earth Realm to stop the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace and fuse the Three Realms.

• Xu Long opened the Divine Hall’s medical treasure chest, found five blue pills, and used one before calling for an elephant and spending time with his wives.

• Xu Long received the main mission to fuse the Three Realms and the side mission to destroy the Heavenly Palace’s plan and crush the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace before the transfer began.

Xu Long entered the Earth Realm with the Main God’s help, but the realm’s powerful Origin Will detected the intrusion and searched the world for him. After arriving safely on the Vulture King, Xu Long learned about the Earth Realm’s history, the Heavenly Palace’s rule, and its geography.

• The Main God forced open a fissure in the Earth Realm and helped Xu Long break through the Origin Will’s energy to complete his transfer.

• Xu Long recalled that the Earth Realm was the only relatively intact survivor of the ancient three realms and that the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace held sway through eight Saints and one Quasi-Saint.
• Xu Long learned that the Earth Realm consisted of five land provinces and fourteen overseas continents.

Xu Long learned that the Heavenly Palace’s hold over Earth Realm Kyushu depended on a fragile alliance with its nine Saints, while ancient powers lay dormant across the Earth Realm. He resolved to build his strength, unite those forces against the Heavenly Palace, and put down roots in Lai Province after evading the Origin Will and the Saints’ notice.

• Xu Long learned that the Heavenly Palace and the nine Saints of Kyushu maintained a loose alliance through shared interests, leaving room for him to exploit their disagreements.
• Xu Long planned to gain resources and strength, then recruit ancient beings who had descended into the Earth Realm and offer them a return to the Heaven Realm as his reward for helping fuse the Three Realms.
• Xu Long concluded that he first needed enough cultivation to negotiate with the Saints and ancient powers as an equal.
• Xu Long rode the Vulture King away from the spatial rift as the Origin Will repaired it and the Saints investigated the spatial disturbance.
• Xu Long’s aura merged with the Earth Realm, and after traveling east for a long time, he discovered that the Vulture King had brought him into Lai Province.

Xu Long explored eastern Lai Province in the Earth Realm and accidentally trespassed into a powerful expert’s cultivation ground, where a gaze and sword qi scattered the red sun and parted the clouds. He escaped on the Vulture King and continued eastward, resolving to proceed cautiously in a world ruled by forces far beyond his current strength.

• Xu Long surveyed the vast Earth Realm and saw its abundant spiritual energy, spiritual veins, and cultivation grounds across eastern Lai Province.
• Xu Long rode the Vulture King through the clouds and cried, “By my decree!” as they flew toward the rising red sun.
• A mysterious figure’s murky eyes opened beneath a mountain, unleashed sword qi, and pushed aside the red sun while searching the clouds for Xu Long.
• Xu Long sensed the danger, withdrew, and fled on the Vulture King before the mysterious figure closed his eyes and vanished.
• Xu Long recognized the Earth Realm’s powerful experts and competing forces, then continued east below the clouds through Lai Province.

Xu Long encountered a forbidden place where Lai Province’s rivers converged and watched its water vapor erupt into a colossal tornado that battled lightning from beyond the heavens. As the storm tore up the land, Xu Long fled on the Vulture King and searched for shelter in the mountains.

• Xu Long spotted countless rivers converging beneath dense water vapor and suspected a powerful creature or force lay within.
• The water vapor awakened into a towering tornado that drew on the rivers and clashed with lightning from beyond the nine heavens.
• Xu Long realized the tornado’s inscription-born laws could swallow heaven and devour earth, and urged the Vulture King to flee.
• The storm uprooted mountains and dragged land into its funnel while Xu Long struggled against the violent winds and waves.
• Cultivators across Lai Province sensed the phenomenon, probed from a distance with their True Spirits, and quickly withdrew.
• Xu Long decided that resisting in the open would fail and searched for shelter among the mountains as enormous waves swept past.

Xu Long escaped the tornado as the Origin Will’s lightning clashed with it and a legendary beast roar shook Lai Province, leaving cultivators fearing a beast tide. He was hurled through several mountain ranges and survived with his Body of Oblivion beginning to repair itself.

• Xu Long reached the tornado’s edge while the Origin Will sent lightning cables through it, then fled on the Vulture King as a beast roared from beneath the nine abysses.
• The tornado repelled the lightning, and cultivators across Lai Province gathered in alarm as the roar stirred fears of a coming beast tide.
• Saint Song’s protégés told the sects that a guarding object would protect Lai Province and ordered them to guard their own mountain gates rather than investigate the phenomenon.
• The sects withdrew to their sanctuaries, while the Cloud Sea Daoist Sanctuary prepared measures against the spreading danger.
• Xu Long was flung from the tornado and crashed through several mountain ranges before stopping as his Body of Oblivion began repairing his injuries.

Xu Long emerged from the tornado into Lai Province as a massive ferocious beast tide overwhelmed the mountain cultivation grounds. As the Jade Screen Sect’s Feng Sihu fought desperately with his ritual vajra, the beasts broke through its cover.

• Xu Long sensed a beast tide gathering in the mountains and realized it might be connected to the roar inside the tornado.
• A powerful cultivator urged the stationed disciples to abandon their resources and retreat, but the beasts overwhelmed the cultivation ground and slaughtered its defenders.
• The beast tide reached Xu Long’s hiding place and occupied the mountain range, while the cultivators across Lai Province suffered heavy losses.
• Feng Sihu of the Jade Screen Sect fought alone against the encircling beasts after his fellow disciples and cultivation ground were lost.
• Feng Sihu unleashed his ritual vajra, crushing many beasts, but several figures broke through its round top as he neared exhaustion.

Xu Long faced a seemingly endless beast tide in a mountain sanctuary and swallowed the Red Queen’s energy potion to break through the Earth Immortal realm barrier. His breakthrough summoned the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, which tore through the beasts and struck him as he struggled to withstand its power.

• A sword light cut through the beast tide and briefly drew the beasts away from Feng Sihu, while Xu Long searched for the hidden beast king.
• Xu Long realized the beasts were trapping him by trampling the sanctuary into a sinking pit, and he chose to use the energy potion to trigger a breakthrough and summon heavenly punishment.
• Xu Long swallowed the potion, used his Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon to refine its violent energy, and struck at the realm barrier as the beasts closed in.
• Xu Long’s breakthrough summoned black clouds and purple lightning, which scattered and destroyed the surrounding beast tide.
• The purple lightning pierced Xu Long’s barriers and drove him into the ground while he resisted its force with his Magic Power and Celestial Phenomenon.

Xu Long faced the Origin Will’s Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation while attempting to break through from the Mahayana Stage to the Earth Immortal Realm. After his doubts about whether immortality required abandoning his past stalled his breakthrough, he regained his resolve and shouted a decree as another bolt descended.

• Xu Long used the Law of Slaughter to evade the Origin Will’s suppression and stir the Heavenly Dao, prompting a tribulation-cloud vortex to form over Lai Province.
• Xu Long escaped the earth and faced successive lightning bolts, using his sword light and World-Breaking Blade to resist them as the beast tide was caught in the tribulation’s devastation.
• Xu Long took a second Mist Beast energy potion and separated clear and turbid Magic Power in his dantian, but struggled over whether to sever his past emotions to become an immortal.
• Xu Long’s hesitation stalled his Magic Power and threatened his breakthrough, while the Origin Will’s lightning continued to strike and the beast tide scattered around the training ground.
• After a tremendous sound jolted Xu Long out of his confusion, his resolve returned, his Magic Power began to loosen, and he faced the next bolt with a shout: “By decree!”

Xu Long resolved to preserve his feelings and past, broke through to the Early Earth Immortal Stage, and survived the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation. After the devastation, he began restoring the training ground and discovered Feng Sihu hidden beneath the magma.

• Xu Long swore that he would never bow his head or abandon his past, then transformed his magic power and broke through from the Mahayana Stage to the Early Earth Immortal Stage.
• Xu Long wielded the World-Breaking Blade and Sea-Overturning Sword Formation against the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation as lightning battered him and destroyed the training ground.
• Xu Long survived the tribulation through the Body of Oblivion, and his two weapons advanced to the low-grade divine artifact tier.
• Xu Long used his will and a spiritual vein to begin restoring the ruined training ground after the beast tide retreated.
• Xu Long contacted Feng Sihu, who had survived hidden beneath the magma and was astonished by the tribulation and the beasts' retreat.

Xu Long subdued Feng Sihu after the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation scattered the beast tide, then learned that Rotten Peach Mountain lay in the wilderness of the Daning Commandery Kingdom. Feng Sihu revealed that a hidden Vast Sea Dragon King was associated with a thousand-yearly waterspout, but the beast tide had appeared six hundred years too early, leaving Xu Long suspicious of a larger purpose.

• Xu Long captured Feng Sihu’s remnant soul as Feng tried to flee, then demanded to know where they were and what had caused the beast tide.
• Feng Sihu explained that he was a minor elder of the Jade Screen Sect, assigned to guard Rotten Peach Mountain in the Daning Commandery Kingdom.
• Xu Long asked about a strange phenomenon in the mist, and Feng Sihu revealed that Lai Province’s rivers converged into the Vast Sea, where a waterspout appeared once every thousand years.
• Feng Sihu said the Saint had identified a sleeping pre-calamity being, likely the Vast Sea Dragon King of the True Dragon clan, as the master of the inland sea.
• Xu Long learned that beast tides often followed the Vast Sea phenomenon, but only six hundred years had passed since the last one, and he suspected the current tide had a deeper cause.

Xu Long learned that Rotten Peach Mountain’s spirit vein could not be developed without arrays, so he planned to acquire them and use the sanctuary as a base. He took Feng Sihu’s Jade Screen Sect identity as his own and used his Celestial Phenomenon to stabilize Feng Sihu’s dispersing soul.

• Xu Long recalled the Vast Sea tornado and suspected that the creature within it was a True Dragon descendant connected to the Vast Sea Dragon King.
• Xu Long learned that Rotten Peach Mountain produced spirit stones but lacked the arrays needed to extract them after the vicious beast tide damaged its defenses.
• Feng Sihu told Xu Long that Perfected Lord Pinglu’s nearby Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary sold arrays.
• Xu Long declared that he would take the Jade Screen Sect identity of Perfected Yunmo and leave Feng Sihu to guard Rotten Peach Mountain.
• Feng Sihu agreed to serve Xu Long in exchange for help, and Xu Long drew his soul into his Celestial Phenomenon, where it began to grow solid.

Xu Long solidified Feng Sihu's soul, bound him to a nether plaque, and made him guard the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field. Xu Long then traveled toward the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary through beast-tide devastation, where a sudden disturbance in the sky forced him off the Vulture King.

• Xu Long used the Power of Laws to solidify Feng Sihu's soul and created a nether plaque for him, binding Feng Sihu with restrictions.
• Feng Sihu entered the nether plaque, pledged loyalty to Xu Long, and agreed to serve as his ghost cultivator servant.
• Xu Long ordered Feng Sihu to guard the Rotten Peach Mountain Dao Field while he set out for the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary to seek arrays and cultivation resources.
• Xu Long crossed the devastated wilderness on the Vulture King and considered the fierce beast clans' conflict with cultivators and the strange cause of the beast tide.
• Xu Long sensed an enormous presence moving through the sky, descended from the Vulture King, and watched a hurricane blast away the mist.

Xu Long witnessed an unknown creature streak across the heavens and a sword-wielding figure battling a vast black horizon, then hurried to the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary for protection. After reaching the sanctuary, he saw its strength and the civilization Perfected Lord Pinglu had built, but noticed that no people were born there.

• An enormous creature tore through the air beyond the firmament, changed direction near Xu Long, and vanished without him identifying it.
• Xu Long saw a black horizon sweep across Lai Province as a streak of light wielded sword qi against it, and he fled toward the Pinglu Mountain Range.
• Xu Long followed Feng Sihu's route through the wildlands, where cultivators rushed along the thoroughfare carved by Perfected Lord Pinglu.
• Xu Long reached the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, observed its twelve guardian spirit veins and the cultivators gathered there, and refrained from probing the mountain range held by the Golden Immortal Perfected Lord.
• Xu Long recognized the sanctuary as a developed refuge in the wildlands but discovered that no people were born there.

Xu Long entered the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary and secretly tested its defensive formation with the Power of Oblivion. His probing activated all twelve guardian spirit veins, leaving the sanctuary’s cultivators on alert as they tried to determine what had triggered the formation.

• Xu Long paid a hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, identified himself as Yunmo of the Jade Screen Sect, and received a jade token to enter the sanctuary.
• Xu Long used his Heavenly Eye and the Power of Oblivion to probe the defensive formation, but its energy rays trapped his will.
• As Xu Long pushed deeper, the formation flags and ritual banners stirred, first in one mountain and then across all twelve guardian spirit veins.
• The twelve formations drew energy from the spirit veins, and a bright, increasingly solid light curtain rose around the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
• The cultivators in the main mountain range raised the alarm, dispatched patrols, and received reports that no beast tide was approaching but cultivators had come knocking.

Xu Long probed Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary’s Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart formation, triggering its full activation and narrowly escaping its killing power by withdrawing his will. He entered the sanctuary under the identity Yunmo of the Jade Screen Sect, where the guards received a new transmission about him.

• A purple-robed cultivator ordered the sanctuary guards to crush the intruder who was attacking the formation.
• Xu Long sensed the formation’s danger and tried to withdraw his will as the twelve sanctuaries linked together and activated their defenses.
• The formation trapped Xu Long’s retreat and ground against his will, but his Celestial Phenomenon absorbed some of its energy and helped him escape.
• When the guards demanded that he identify himself, Xu Long claimed to be Yunmo of the Jade Screen Sect and crossed the light barrier.
• Xu Long entered Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary and met the guards’ wary gazes before their jade tokens lit up with another transmission.
