• Chen Shuangbai recognized that the six streams of Rainbow Qi came from the remains of True Lord Ruan Xia, a late-antiquity Nascent Soul cultivator who had likely died on the island.

Chen Shuangbai used Dew-Drinking Radiance to recover from his wound and greatly strengthen his Divine Abilities, intending to kill Beigong You, Purple Thunder, and the flood dragons. Before his sword strike could land, the six streams of Rainbow Qi swept everyone into a strange starlit realm, where Chen Shuangbai discovered that one cluster of starlight grew stronger after devouring another.

• Chen Shuangbai saw a lynx-shaped cluster of starlight devour a sparrow-shaped cluster and grow stronger.

Chen Shuangbai discovered that refining starlight crystals strengthened his Nascent Soul, so he hunted starlight creatures as he traveled deeper into the strange space. He reached a lake of condensed starlight and found a golden-robed man whose soul was gone but whose body remained intact.

• Chen Shuangbai struck down a starlight lynx and found that refining its crystal made his Nascent Soul more solid.

• The golden-robed man looked toward Chen Shuangbai, who realized the man's soul had been extinguished even though his body remained preserved.

Chen Shuangbai fought a soulless martial Dharma body whose golden fists shattered stars, then concealed himself to examine it. He discovered that its Qi-locking technique dated it to a Nascent Soul martial cultivator of the Middle Antiquity.

• Chen Shuangbai recognized the soulless Dharma body as a powerful martial cultivator’s remains and noted that Yuandu would covet it.

• Chen Shuangbai decided to try inhabiting the starlight-tempered, ownerless Dao body with a wisp of his spirit.

• Chen Shuangbai identified the martial avatar as Zhongli Pan, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage successor of the Divine Yang Sect known as the Divine Yang Martial Lord.

Chen Shuangbai learned how Divine Yang Martial Lord Zhongli Pan had died and used his recovered Martial Dao avatar to collect starlight as he traveled deeper into the star-sea space. He discovered an ownerless purple-gold Spirit Treasure heavenly gate and asked the captive Jiyi what his patriarch knew about it.

• Chen Shuangbai deduced that Zhongli Pan had died after killing two of three demon lords and pursuing the last one, leaving his soulless body to be drawn into the immortal island.
• Chen Shuangbai tested Zhongli Pan's Martial Dao avatar, absorbed the lake of starlight into his treasure mirror, and kept refining some of it to strengthen his foundation.

Chen Shuangbai learned that Colored Light Cave had sought the dormant Langhuan Heavenly Gate and that claiming it required dark radiance divine iron.

• Jiyi revealed that his ancestor had discovered the Langhuan Heavenly Gate and that Colored Light Cave intended to make it their clan-guarding treasure.

• Chen Shuangbai called out “Divine Yang,” and the avatar tore Wuguang apart again with the Heaven-Burning Star-Shattering Kick.

Chen Shuangbai’s martial avatar fought True Lord Wuguang and Jiluo while Chen Shuangbai began refining the purple-and-gold heavenly gate with Dark Radiance Divine Iron. Outside Langhuan Immortal Island, True Lord Baishi and Qingsongzi confronted Beigong Xuan, whose clan’s scheme had been exposed, and demanded to know what the island held.

Chen Shuangbai used dark radiance divine iron to refine the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate while his martial avatar kept Jiluo and Wuguang at bay. True Lord Purple Thunder then attacked the gate with a lightning arrow and prepared a second strike, threatening Chen Shuangbai’s ongoing refinement.

• Chen Shuangbai fed Law Power through the dark radiance divine iron, easing the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate’s resistance and awakening its primal spirit.
