Lu Changming, a man with no memories who cannot cultivate despite having a Spirit Root, was singled out during a lesson at the cultivation society. A little girl invited him to her birthday gathering in Green Parasol Immortal City, where she hoped spirit peaches might help restore his memories.

• An old instructor explained how mortals came to live in the Great Thousand Immortal Realms, and the children questioned why he had advanced only to Foundation Establishment.
• The instructor called Lu Changming into the hall as an example of someone with a Spirit Root who could not cultivate, then dismissed him when he could offer no explanation.
• After the lesson, Lu Changming tidied the hall and wondered why he remembered nothing and could not use the basic cultivation methods.
• A little girl invited Lu Changming to her birthday gathering, and he agreed to go with her.
• The girl led Lu Changming through Green Parasol Immortal City and told him her father had brought immortal-grade spirit peaches that might help recover his memories.

A Yu brought Lu Changming to her home for her birthday, where her father, Chen Shi, gave them immortal peach leaves from the Immortal City Prefecture. After Lu Changming ate one, it caused no visible effect, leaving Chen Shi wondering if something was wrong with the peach.

• A Yu led Lu Changming through Green Parasol Immortal City to her home, showing him the city and its peaceful residential district.
• Chen Shi welcomed Lu Changming and revealed two immortal peach leaves he had brought back from the immortal stables for A Yu's birthday.

• A Yu's spiritual power surged after eating her leaf, and Chen Shi helped her regulate it.
• Lu Changming showed no reaction to the peach leaf, stunning Chen Shi.

Lu Changming discovered that immortal peach leaves eased the burden on his body, while Lu Li grieved for his six presumed-dead disciples and resolved to find them. He refined three Dao Laws Crystals to advance toward Tribulation Transcendence, triggering a lightning tribulation.

• Lu Changming felt the immortal peach leaves loosen something within him and hoped immortal treasures could help restore his memories.
• Lu Li mourned Lu Changming, Lu Changye, Dong Qing, Jiang Wuxie, Li Nanci, and Qian Dabao after learning their life tablets had shattered, but refused to accept they were dead.

• The Dao Laws Crystals nourished Lu Li's Dao Laws, and the Pseud-Immortal Seed began transforming his Spiritual Power.
• Yinyang Qingfan, Bone Evil, and the other two Mahayana cultivators saw thunderclouds gather and realized Lu Li was about to undergo his tribulation.

As Lu Li prepared to transcend his tribulation, the clouds revealed increasingly powerful lightning, culminating in the legendary three hundred and sixty-five great expansion tribulation. Yinyang Qingfan recognized that no cultivator in a Middle Thousand World was believed capable of surviving it, and Lu Li emerged from the main hall as the heavens gathered above him.

• Bone Evil, Bone Jia, and Zou Heng discussed the growing tribulation clouds and recalled that they had each faced three-nine lightning.
• Yinyang Qingfan judged that Lu Li would face at least seven-nine lightning as the clouds spread across half a province.

• Lu Li opened the main hall doors and walked outside beneath the extraordinary tribulation clouds.

Lu Li began his Tribulation Transcendence beneath an unprecedented Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Great Expansion Tribulation, but the Thunder Ancestor's Inheritance absorbed the lightning while the ordeal strengthened him. As his power surged, Bone Evil wondered whether the Heavenly Dao was related to the Dao Lord.

• Yinyang Qingfan warned Lu Li that his tribulation resembled the legendary Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Great Expansion Tribulation, with 365 powerful bolts.
• Lu Li summoned the Thunder Ancestor's lightning-marked stone seal, which absorbed the first bolt and caused his Spiritual Power to become richer and purer.
• The stone seal absorbed successive bolts, then flew into the thunderclouds, while Lu Li's Law Power, constitution, bloodline, Dantian, and Divine Sense were tempered.
• Lu Li realized the tribulation was deepening his connection to the world and considered how illicit ascenders deprived the Heavenly Dao of its repayment.
• Lu Li's presence surged as Yinyang Qingfan and the others watched in astonishment, and Bone Evil wondered if the Heavenly Dao was a relative of the Dao Lord.

As the inheritance chased and absorbed the retreating thunderclouds, his cultivation began surging again.

• Yinyang Qingfan watched Lu Li endure the tribulation without a single lightning strike and wondered whether even the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao was his relative.
• Lu Li's Spiritual Power transformed into faintly immortal-white Law Power, marking his entry into Tribulation Transcendence as a True Venerable.
• The gifts absorbed by the Thunder Ancestor's Inheritance rapidly advanced Lu Li to the Tribulation Transcendence Middle Stage.
• After the lightning ended, the Thunder Ancestor's Inheritance chased the retreating thunderclouds and absorbed their remaining power.
• Lu Li felt his cultivation surge again and realized he could break through another stage.

After breaking through to Tribulation Transcendence Late Stage, Lu Li traveled to Bone Mountain Immortal Market to meet Bone Mountain Supreme and discuss their opportunity for ascension. He learned that the Ji Household and Ten Thousand Demons were at war while Chaotic Star Domain backed the Ji Household, and Bone Mountain Supreme greeted him upon his arrival.

• Lu Li shattered his bottleneck, reached Tribulation Transcendence Late Stage, and received the Dao Court’s congratulations before leaving for Twin Star Ferry.
• At Twin Star Ferry, Qing Huayu and Ling Yun'er told Lu Li that the Ji Household was fighting Ten Thousand Demons with help from Chaotic Star Domain.

• Bone Mountain Supreme sensed Lu Li’s arrival and greeted him, saying, “Young Friend Lu, you finally came!”

• The Bone Mountain Supreme sent Lu Li and his four subordinates toward the Chaotic Star Domain with a token for seeking help from Su Beixiao if necessary.
• The Bone Mountain Supreme told Lu Li that life tablets had sometimes shattered when cultivators ascended between realms, giving Lu Li hope that his missing disciples might still be alive.
• The Bone Mountain Supreme traveled to a major battlefield and struck Ao Zhuyuan, disrupting Ji Cangshi and the Heavenly Firmament Supreme's attacks and allowing Ao Zhuyuan to flee.
• The Bone Mountain Supreme claimed that Ao Zhuyuan had killed his personal disciple and asked Ji Cangshi why the Ji Household's other three patriarchs had not appeared.
• The Bone Mountain Supreme told Ji Cangshi that his late master had sent word that the Jade Capital Immortal Palace was about to open and had informed the Ji Household's ancestor.

Bone Mountain Supreme falsely claimed the Jade Capital Immortal Palace would soon open to test whether the Ji Household could contact the upper realm, but Ji Cangshi grew suspicious and hurried to the household’s secret realm. He reached Ji Cangdao in the distant Mingguang Star Domain and warned that Bone Mountain Supreme might know their secret.

• Bone Mountain Supreme used a fabricated report about the Jade Capital Immortal Palace to probe Ji Cangshi, then performed White Bone Divination and saw inauspicious signs.

Convinced that Lu Li was his greatest opportunity, he decided to return to the Ji Household and promised Suanni a chance to become Demon Emperor.
