• Lu Li noticed that Eastern Desolation Star was marked with a huge X on the map.

Lu Li studied maps of the neighboring star domains and weighed the powerful rivals awaiting him in the Supreme Immortal Seed Battle before entering three years of secluded cultivation. Meanwhile, on Eastern Desolation Star, Bing Wuji gathered the Hundred Schools leaders and asked who would investigate Chu Changyue's three-year absence.

• Lu Li found only a warning and an X on the map of Eastern Desolation Star, then learned that the neighboring Chaotic Star Domain contained over eight hundred factions and was ruled by the Supreme faction Chaotic Star Palace.

• Lu Li returned to his cave abode to cultivate for three years, aiming to perfect his condition before the Supreme Immortal Seed Battle while keeping in contact with Great Xia.
• Bing Wuji gathered the leaders of the Hundred Schools for the seventh time and asked who would investigate Chu Changyue, who had been gone for three years without sending word.

Bing Wuji pressed the schools to send another Venerable to investigate Chu Changyue’s disappearance, but they argued that the Dragon Calamity might already be gone. The Technique School offered to send its Void Return bloodline descendant Qing Huayu instead, leaving the schools to consider the proposal.

• Bing Wuji demanded that the schools send a Venerable to investigate after Chu Changyue had been missing for years.
• Lord Shang objected that the Military School had already gained much from the other schools and that they could not spare Venerables lightly.
• The Technique School’s head argued that the Dragon Calamity might have vanished and that sending another Venerable could be pointless.
• Bing Wuji dropped the demand for a Venerable but asked the Legalist School to provide a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator as a safeguard.
• The Technique School’s head proposed sending Qing Huayu, a Void Return descendant with a Fate Pattern, to investigate instead.
• The other school heads recalled that Qing Huayu had fled during the earlier fight, but the Technique School’s head insisted he could handle the investigation.

After the schools left the matter of the Western Continent Dragon Calamity to the Technique School’s Heavenly Fate prodigy, Bing Wuji prepared changes for the Military School. Far away, Qing Huayu settled on an island in the Endless Sea, but a message from his bloodline suddenly called him back to the Western Continent.

After the Technique School ordered Qing Huayu to return to the Western Continent and investigate Dragon Fate and the Venerable of the Miscellaneous School, he decided to flee the Eastern Wasteland instead. Equipped with supplies from the main family, he left the Eastern Desolation Star and ventured into outer space.

• Qing Huayu received the Technique School's Bloodline Summons and resolved not to obey its order to return to the Western Continent.
• Fearing punishment from the Hundred Schools, Qing Huayu decided to leave the Eastern Wasteland and risk traveling among the stars.
• Qing Huayu secretly told the Technique School he would prepare for a year, while the clan agreed to send him supplies and demanded information within ten years.
• A year later, Qing Huayu received the supplies, including the seventh-tier protective spirit armor he had requested.
• Qing Huayu rose through the planetary gales, donned the armor, and stepped into outer space toward the Imprisoned Dragon Realm.

Qing Huayu set out into the starry heavens, but three black-robed Void Return cultivators ambushed him and overwhelmed him with coordinated attacks. Driven into a desperate counterattack, he unleashed his azure lotus Law Treasure on a massive scale, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Qing Huayu explored the stars in his seventh-tier spirit armor and searched for a place to rest as its protection drained his Spiritual Power.
• A sword Gang struck from behind, and three black-robed cultivators appeared and attacked Qing Huayu with Law Treasures and killing techniques.

• Qing Huayu reached the Bone Mountain Immortal Market, bought sixth-tier cultivation resources, and secluded himself while awaiting the Immortal Seed Battle.
• After three years of cultivation, Lu Li brought his Void Return realm to its perfected limits and accumulated the power of forty-nine Dao Laws by stripping them from Dao Integration Demon Beasts.
• Lu Li planned to buy more Demon Beasts after the battle, hoping to accumulate at least sixty Dao Laws before entering Dao Integration.

The Bone Mountain Supreme announced unprecedented rewards for the Supreme Immortal Seed Battle, including a supreme-grade relic, an immortal seed, and succession to the Bone Mountain Immortal Market for first place. As the million contestants entered the White Bone Secret Realm, Lu Li resolved to win and use the Supreme’s protection to destroy the Hundred Schools.

After all million participants had entered, Su Beixiao added the Heaven-Reaching Mirror, a pseudo-immortal artifact, as a prize for first place, prompting Ao Zhuyuan to offer a treasure as well.

• Qing Huayu weighed withdrawing from the battle but resolved to fight for a top-ten-thousand ranking so he could gain cultivation resources and protection from his enemies.

• Ao Zhuyuan and the Heavenly Firmament Supreme added Ten Thousand Demons True Blood and Tianque Sword Intent to the battle’s prizes, joining Su Beixiao’s Heaven-Reaching Mirror.
• The Heaven-Reaching Mirror displayed the White Bone Secret Realm, and Lu Li entered alongside the scattered cultivators.

Qing Huayu struggled against a better-resourced cultivator and nearly withdrew from the Immortal Seed Battle, but a dazzling newcomer’s arrival sent his opponent fleeing. Qing Huayu offered the newcomer his White Bone Decrees and himself as a lackey, then froze in shock after recognizing Dragon Fate.

• Qing Huayu and a middle-aged cultivator of equal cultivation fought, but neither gained the advantage at first.
