After escaping the Zombie Alliance ruins, Qi Yun returned to Green Mountain Daoist Temple and realized he had not yet uncovered the true power of his Supreme Dao Foundation. He concluded that Great Luo Heaven could create laws from nothing and began trying to create a Law Technique himself.

• Qi Yun realized that he had only used and optimized existing laws, while Great Luo Heaven could be the source from which new laws emerged.
• Qi Yun poured his will, Dao insights, and Great Luo Law Power into Great Luo Heaven, attempting to create a Law Technique from nothing.

Qi Yun created the [Ink Flood Dragon], a Law Technique that sensed hostile changes in karma and traced them back to their source. The Great Dao rewarded his breakthrough with [Double Light Qi], which strengthened his Divine Sense as he absorbed it.

True Person Qianxin told Qi Yun that the four northwestern sects would hold peace talks as Wuji Sacred Sect’s leadership selection began early, with Black Mountain seeking the deputy sect leader position. He asked Qi Yun to help persuade two of Black Mountain’s coerced supporters to withdraw their votes, and Qi Yun asked who they should target.

• True Person Qianxin revealed that Black Mountain had become a Great True Person and was seeking the deputy sect leader position ahead of the sect’s leadership transition.
• True Person Qianxin explained that Black Mountain had fourteen declared supporters, but only eight were true followers, and persuading two coerced supporters to withdraw would leave him short of the required thirteen votes.
• True Person Qianxin urged Qi Yun to use his reputation and potential to offer the wavering True Persons an alternative to Black Mountain, and Qi Yun asked who their targets were.

Black Mountain True Person planned to keep True Person Southern Dipper trapped in sect affairs so he could seek the golden nature first and become a True Lord. Meanwhile, Qi Yun persuaded True Person Qingli to abstain in the deputy sect master nomination by offering Undying True Blood for Qingli’s daughter, formally entering the contest against Black Mountain.

• True Person Heisha asked whether Black Mountain True Person had secured enough support for the deputy sect master position, and Black Mountain said fourteen of the seventeen remaining True Persons backed him.
• Black Mountain explained that Southern Dipper’s slaughter Dao would require him to travel south to seek gold, but the coming peace talks and their aftermath would keep him tied to the Holy Sect.

• True Person Southern Dipper opened the deputy sect leader election, and Heisha nominated Black Mountain, drawing enough support to bring him within one vote of the required majority.

• Chiyang and Southern Dipper declared Black Mountain’s nomination void, and Black Mountain left after telling Qi Yun, “Good. Very good.”
• Qianxin asked Qi Yun how he had won Yang Cuan’s support, and Qi Yun explained that Yang Cuan had approached him because he resented being under Black Mountain’s control.

Black Mountain True Person accepted the loss of the deputy sect master position and shifted his plans toward protecting the sect’s stability and helping Yue Rong survive an approaching tribulation. At Green Mountain Daoist Temple, Qi Yun combined the Dao intents of his mastered spells in [Great Luo Heaven] and successfully created a new spell.

• Black Mountain True Person told True Person Heisha that losing the deputy sect master position would only complicate their plans, and noted that He Sha was likely dead and Qi Yun was more formidable than expected.
• Black Mountain True Person ordered his faction to keep a low profile until the four sects’ peace talks ended and avoid disturbing the Holy Sect’s stability.
• Black Mountain True Person told True Person Heisha to check on Yue Rong, whose approaching tribulation could lead to great fortune, and gave him Foundation Establishment Objects to deliver.

• A new spell condensed within [Great Luo Heaven], and Qi Yun opened his eyes, realizing that his experiment had succeeded.

Qi Yun comprehended the Treasure Creation Incantation, used it to turn his Southern Ming Li Fire sword intent into a temporary sword, and received the defensive Law Treasure Hundred-Zhang Heaven as a Great Dao reward. True Person Chiyang then arrived to summon him to discuss the imminent four-sect peace talks at Senior Brother Southern Dipper’s request.

• Qi Yun used the Treasure Creation Incantation to form a powerful Southern Ming Li Fire Sword from his Dao intent, but the sword vanished after a few breaths.
• A Great Dao reward appeared as the Hundred-Zhang Heaven robe, which Qi Yun learned could defend him by making attacks within a hundred zhang seem infinitely distant.
• Qi Yun put on the robe and recognized its spiritual protection as a valuable complement to the warning ability of the Profound Darkness-Piercing Serpent.
• True Person Chiyang arrived at Qi Yun’s Green Mountain Dao Field and remarked on his gains from seclusion.
• True Person Chiyang invited Qi Yun to join Senior Brother Southern Dipper for important discussions ahead of the four-sect peace talks.

After helping prevent Black Mountain from becoming deputy sect master, Qi Yun received a vital Yang substance from True Person Southern Dipper and joined him on a journey to Ten Thousand Caves Mountain. The four sects gathered there for peace talks under the watch of their True Lords, leaving the future of the northwest to be decided.

• True Person Southern Dipper praised Qi Yun for stopping Black Mountain’s rise, warned him that their conflict would persist, and acknowledged that Black Mountain had acted dishonorably.
• True Person Southern Dipper gave Qi Yun a pure Yang wondrous substance to help him advance his cultivation and told him to prepare for a journey to Ten Thousand Caves Mountain.
• Three days later, Qi Yun joined True Person Southern Dipper, True Person Qianxin, Black Mountain True Person, and other members of the Holy Sect aboard the Great Void Cloud Barge.
• The Great Void Cloud Barge arrived at Ten Thousand Caves Mountain, where the Wuji Sacred Sect, the sword sect, the ghost sect, and Phoenix Helm assembled for peace talks.
• Qi Yun observed the four sects’ immense forces and sensed the unseen scrutiny of the True Lords as the talks began under the weight of their importance.

The four sects’ leaders met in Vaulted Heaven Cave to address the threat posed by the Four Imperials Heaven, a True Lord’s unstable miniature world that the Li dynasty had brought back from the outer realms. They agreed to cooperate on investigations and defenses, but True Person Lunzhuan challenged True Person Southern Dipper over who would command them in an emergency.

• True Person Southern Dipper revealed that the Li dynasty had brought the Four Imperials Heaven back from the outer realms, causing turmoil in the Southern Region and threatening the northwest.
• Qi Yun recognized the Four Imperials Heaven as the remnant Domain Heaven of a True Lord and realized its instability could cause a catastrophic explosion.
• True Person Sansi proposed sending people south to investigate the Four Imperials Heaven and the Southern Region’s balance of power.
• Lady Jiuli urged the sects to assess the explosion’s reach and consider whether they could gain from the Four Imperials Heaven, while True Person Zַhuanlun proposed border barriers and using the Southern Region’s warring powers to delay the crisis.
• True Person Southern Dipper proposed a joint inspection delegation, a Northern Defense Barrier, and a ban on private contact with Southern Region powers; True Person Sansi and Lady Jiuli agreed.
• True Person Lunzhuan agreed to cooperation but asked whether the sects would follow True Person Southern Dipper or him if an emergency arose.

True Person Lunzhuan proposed choosing a leader through a contest between disciples, and Qi Yun defeated the three rival sects’ champions with a single overwhelming strike. Desolate Halberd True Lord praised Qi Yun and awarded him Clarity and Turbidity, leaving him close to having the fundamental marvels needed to advance to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

• True Person Lunzhuan suggested that disciples compete to decide who would take the lead, and True Person Sansi, Lady Jiuli, and True Person Southern Dipper agreed.

After Qi Yun's battle won him respect among the four sects, True Person Southern Dipper tasked him with overseeing construction of the Northern Defense Grand Formation. Qi Yun studied formation principles in seclusion and used Great Luo Heaven to establish Formation Art on his Law Technique Panel, leaving him ready to deepen his mastery.

• True Person Southern Dipper praised Qi Yun's performance and told him the True Lord had promised further rewards.
• True Person Southern Dipper assigned Qi Yun to coordinate the four sects' construction of the Northern Defense Grand Formation instead of joining the expedition south.

• Qi Yun fed the formation principles he learned into Great Luo Heaven, which deduced and combined them while his understanding grew.
• Qi Yun grasped the core of formation principles and activated the Law Technique Panel entry for Formation Art at 1% progress.

Qi Yun refined formation plates to complete the minor update to Formation Arts, then demonstrated his mastery by deciphering the ancient framework of the Northern Defense Grand Formation. True Person Haiyun withdrew his challenge, and the assembled cultivators accepted Qi Yun as the formation’s overseer.

• Qi Yun refined more than a thousand formation plates, completing Formation Arts 2.0 and gaining the ability to master one formation every three hundred days.

• True Person Haiyun bowed to Qi Yun and admitted that he submitted, leaving no one else to contest Qi Yun’s role as overseer.

Qi Yun received the Four Extremes Great Expansion Token and began inspecting the preparations for the Northern Defense Grand Formation. At Sunken Abyss Ravine, he uncovered a shortage of materials and confronted Xun Chen over the delayed delivery.

• True Person Southern Dipper gave Qi Yun the Four Extremes Great Expansion Token, granting him authority to requisition the four sects’ resources and personnel for the formation.
• Qi Yun connected the token to the formation diagram and reviewed the four sects’ resource lists, personnel roster, and earth-vein maps.
• Qi Yun traveled in disguise to Sunken Abyss Ravine and found the workers idle and far too little Nine Pillars Sunken Gold Stone for the foundation piles.
• Xun Chen dismissed the minor-sect deacon’s concerns and claimed that delays in transporting the stone were unavoidable.
• Qi Yun revealed his identity and True Person presence, then demanded that Xun Chen explain why the stone had not arrived.

Qi Yun executed Xun Chen at Sunken Abyss Ravine, then used the Four Extremes Great Expansion Token to requisition far more than the required materials from Cold Tasting Market. After leaving with the haul, he planned to bring his martial uncles into the operation.

• Qi Yun ordered Xun Chen dragged away and beheaded him after Xun Chen threatened him with his godfather’s protection.
• Qi Yun sent Ning Feng to find nine pillars sunken gold stone, then led Holy Sect cultivators toward Cold Tasting Market while workers at Sunken Abyss Ravine hurried to resume construction.
• Qi Yun presented the Four Extremes Great Expansion Token to Deacon Gui Jiu, who opened Cold Tasting Market’s defenses.
• Qi Yun and the Holy Sect cultivators took the market’s nine pillars sunken gold stone and many other valuable materials, leaving Deacon Gui Jiu and the Yellow Springs Netherworld disciples unable to object.
• Qi Yun told Ning Feng to return to the Holy Sect with his written order so he could speak with his martial uncles about the requisitioned materials.

• Qi Yun invited True Person Chiyang, True Person Qingli, Yang Cuan, True Person Mingyu, and True Person Xuancheng to oversee parts of the formation’s construction and offered them thirty percent of the gains from resource allocation.

• Qi Yun praised Ning Feng’s reasoning but warned that the True Persons’ authority needed limits.
• Qi Yun ordered Ding Tai and Ning Feng to secretly record the five True Persons’ resource allocations and personnel decisions, then report to him every ten days.

Qi Yun oversaw three years of Northern Defense Grand Formation construction while building a vast resource network, but he remained unable to comprehend the spring intent needed for his cultivation breakthrough. True Person Chiyang then summoned him back to the Wuji Sacred Sect after the delegation investigating the Four Imperials Heaven returned with devastating casualties.

• Qi Yun coordinated the formation's construction and redirected resources, sharing some with the five True Persons and sending much of the rest to the Wuji Sacred Sect and its allies.
• After three years, Qi Yun tried and failed to extract spring intent from a withered branch, continuing his stalled effort to gather the Four Seasons needed for the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
• True Person Chiyang arrived and told Qi Yun that the acting sect master had ordered him to return to the Holy Sect at once.
• True Person Chiyang reported that Qianxin and the others had returned with two dead, five gravely injured, and one missing from the delegation of eight.
• Qi Yun and True Person Chiyang set out for the Wuji Sacred Sect.

At the Wuji Sacred Sect, True Person Southern Dipper rebuilt True Person Qianxin’s body and awakened him while Qi Yun returned to the sect.

• True Person Qianxin warned that the commotion in the south was a diversion and that the sects had always been the target.

After learning that Great Yin and its righteous-path allies had fabricated the Four Imperials Heaven threat to target the Northwest, the four sect leaders agreed to unite and defend their territory. The chapter ends with their counterespionage trap exposing five Southern Yin spies just as Great Yin’s army gathered at the border.

• True Person Southern Dipper, True Person Sansi, Lady Jiuli, and True Person Lunzhuan agreed to unite the four sects, accelerate the Northern Defense Grand Formation, and harass Southern Yin.
• True Person Southern Dipper secretly ordered Qi Yun to make the formation appear likely to be completed within six months, despite Qi Yun explaining that the work would take at least two years.
• After three months, Great Yin and its allies stationed an army at the northwestern border, apparently reacting to intelligence about the formation deadline.
• The four Great True Persons revealed that they had used the deadline as bait and imprisoned five Southern Yin spies who had tried to sabotage the formation and report intelligence.
• Qi Yun realized that the border deployment had confirmed the spies’ betrayal and privately admired True Person Southern Dipper’s plan.

Li Xuanqing ordered the Southern Yin army to hold position, gather reinforcements, and prepare for a decisive assault on the northwest. As the Northern Defense Grand Formation construction accelerated under the threat, Qi Yun warned Yang Cuan that they had far less time than the years needed to finish it and insisted that the supply accounts be cleared immediately.

• Li Xuanqing consulted with Lingxuzi, Wen Zaidao, and the sect representatives after their inside agents were exposed and the Four Imperials Heaven plan was compromised.
• Li Xuanqing ordered the army to defend its camps, expand its scouting, report to His Majesty and the sects, and muster reinforcements for an all-out attack.
• Cultivators across the northwest worked with heightened urgency to build the Northern Defense Grand Formation as the Southern Yin army gathered at the border.
• Yang Cuan questioned Qi Yun's relaxed manner and complained that the formation would take years to complete while he sorted the old supply accounts.
• Qi Yun told Yang Cuan the south would not give them two or three years and ordered him to balance the accounts completely, leaving no evidence that could be used against them.

The Southern Yin Dynasty launched a devastating invasion of the northwest, using leaked intelligence to destroy key nodes of the Northern Defense Grand Formation while its army and righteous sect allies swept through the region. Qi Yun investigated the war and, after recognizing cultivators from Nine Kings Mountain besieging the Thousand Bones Sect, appeared with his Human Emperor Banner and invited them inside.

• The Southern Yin Dynasty destroyed a key formation node with a crimson-gold strike, then sent its World-Suppressing Army and righteous sect cultivators through the breach.
• The coalition rapidly overran demonic sect defenses as the Northern Defense Grand Formation’s nodes were systematically destroyed.
• Yang Cuan told Qi Yun that nearly a third of the formation had been ruined in half a month and predicted it would be paralyzed within two months; Qi Yun also questioned why the four Great True Persons had not intervened.
• Qi Yun traveled through the war-torn northwest and came upon Nine Kings Mountain cultivators attacking the Thousand Bones Sect.
• Recognizing Nine Kings Mountain from his past encounter over the Three Rivers Bitter Cold Divine King Talisman, Qi Yun appeared above the sect and invited the cultivators into his Human Emperor Banner.

Qi Yun countered True Person Xuanping’s three Divine King talismans with formations from the Human Emperor Banner, then revealed a new Talisman Sea ability and summoned the Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Dharma Manifestation. The manifestation’s arrival shook Xuanping’s domains, leaving the battle poised to escalate.

• Qi Yun rebuked the Nine Kings Mountain disciples for their hypocrisy and tried to pull them into the Human Emperor Banner, but True Person Xuanping arrived and stopped the banner’s suction with a talisman.
• True Person Xuanping used three Divine King talismans to freeze, suppress, and bewitch Qi Yun, while Qi Yun countered them with three grand formations from the Human Emperor Banner.
• After recognizing the banner as a Law Treasure, True Person Xuanping falsely claimed it was Nine Kings Mountain’s stolen Mysterious Heaven Banner and demanded that Qi Yun return it.
• Qi Yun activated four thousand Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Talismans, using the Talisman Sea mechanism to fuse their power into a colossal Dharma Manifestation.
• The Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Dharma Manifestation appeared, and its pressure made True Person Xuanping’s talisman domains tremble and dim.

Qi Yun defeated and sealed True Person Xuanping, then slaughtered the Nine Kings Mountain disciples who begged for mercy. Back in his meditation chamber, he began refining Xuanping into the Human Emperor Banner’s first Main Soul.

• True Person Xuanping used his Essence Blood to combine three Divine King Talismans into a grotto-heaven and held off Qi Yun’s True King Dharma Manifestation.
• Qi Yun activated [Wield Myriad Laws], severed Xuanping’s control of his talismans, and sealed him inside a block of mystic ice.
• The surviving Nine Kings Mountain disciples begged Qi Yun to spare them, but he used the Human Emperor Banner to kill them and absorb their souls.
• Qi Yun returned to Ten Thousand Caves Mountain, secured his meditation chamber, and brought out the Human Emperor Banner and Xuanping’s icy prison.
• After discovering the banner could hold a Main Soul, Qi Yun began refining Xuanping into one.

Qi Yun refined True Person Xuanping, seized and preserved his Supreme Mystery Hunt Art Dao Foundation, and made him a controllable Main Soul within the Human Emperor Banner. He renamed him Zecheng and sent him back undercover to Nine Kings Mountain to gather intelligence as Southern Yin’s northern expedition threatened the region.

• Qi Yun used a formation, soul-suppressing talismans, and the Human Emperor Banner to attack True Person Xuanping’s Divine Soul as Xuanping tried to destroy his Dao Foundation.
• Qi Yun used Wield Myriad Laws to freeze and extract the Supreme Mystery Hunt Art Dao Foundation, then sent it into Great Luo Heaven to be suppressed and analyzed.
• Qi Yun stripped Xuanping’s remaining true spirit imprint and refined it into the Human Emperor Banner, completing the Main Soul.
• Qi Yun put the Main Soul into Xuanping’s body and gave him the new name Zecheng, while preserving his Foundation Establishment strength through the banner.
• Qi Yun ordered Zecheng to resume his identity as True Person Xuanping, infiltrate Nine Kings Mountain, and report on the Southern Yin allied army and its resources.
• After Zecheng departed, Qi Yun worried that one hidden agent might not be enough and returned to studying the Four Seasons and the newly acquired talisman True Intentions.

Qi Yun refined Xuan Ping’s Dao Foundation, transforming his Talisman Art into the Divine Ability Art Supreme Mystery Register, which let him form talismans without materials or Law Power. He disguised himself as an orthodox talisman cultivator and set out to infiltrate the Southern Yin camp to investigate its hidden schemes.

• Qi Yun absorbed the talisman True Intentions in Xuan Ping’s Dao Foundation into Great Luo Heaven and gained insight into the natural principles behind talismans.
• The Law Technique Panel replaced Foundation Establishment Realm Talisman Art with Supreme Mystery Register, greatly improving Qi Yun’s Talisman Art aptitude and removing its medium restrictions.
• Qi Yun formed a Three Rivers Bitter Cold True King Talisman barehanded, then dispersed it back into heaven and earth.
• Qi Yun altered his appearance and Law Power to resemble a righteous-path talisman cultivator, choosing a guise suited to infiltrating Southern Yin.
• Qi Yun left the temporary palace and headed toward the Southern Yin camp to investigate the campaign’s hidden undercurrents.

Qi Yun intervened when Self-Sacrifice Cult elders cornered Yuhengzi and other righteous cultivators at Long Ridge Cave, then fought the cult’s vice master, True Person Broken Bone. Unable to defeat him quickly on his territory, Qi Yun rescued the group and fled, introducing himself as Yun Zhongzi.

• Yuhengzi and the wounded righteous cultivators were overwhelmed by the Self-Sacrifice Cult elders’ attacks.
• Qi Yun appeared and dispelled the one-armed elder’s soul attack with a Spirit-Purifying and Spirit-Calming Talisman.
• Qi Yun formed five elemental talismans to suppress the elders, but True Person Broken Bone emerged from Long Ridge Cave and stopped them.
• Qi Yun and True Person Broken Bone exchanged attacks, and Broken Bone unleashed the Heaven-Maiming Hand.
• Qi Yun judged that he could not defeat Broken Bone quickly and carried Yuhengzi and the others away on a cloud of talisman light.
• Yuhengzi asked his rescuer’s name, and Qi Yun identified himself as the mountain rogue cultivator Yun Zhongzi.
