• Lu Qing'an told Xiao Qingyi not to torment the Nether Bone Dragon, but agreed when Xiao Qingyi said she would go find it.

Then Liu Xiyue and Li Cangxuan reported a catastrophe at the Saber Alliance, where the Saber God had entered Qi Deviation and a black dragon—apparently Little Blackie—had fought him, so Lu Qing'an led the group there.

• Xu Xuanyu examined the Nether Bone Dragon’s Holy Healing Pill and traced it from the Dao of Alchemy Master through Xue Tianfei’s chamber of commerce and other hands.

• Lu Qing'an opened a spatial passage to the Saber Alliance and brought the group, including Lu Zhengran and Lu Miaomiao, along to investigate.

Lu Qing'an found traces of Little Blackie near the Saber Domain, where the Saber God’s uncontrolled power had devastated the Saber Alliance’s former grounds. He sealed the surrounding area, pulled more than a hundred thousand onlookers to the sky above the domain, and identified ten people among them.

• Lu Qing'an and his companions arrived above the Saber Alliance’s ruins and saw the deadly Saber Domain at their center.

• Lu Qing'an dragged more than a hundred thousand spectators into the sky above the Saber Domain and identified ten people among them.

• The witnesses showed Lu Qing'an that the maddened Saber God had fought a black dragon, which immobilized him and escaped as black smoke before the Saber Domain expanded.
• Lu Qing'an realized he had arrived too late to catch Little Blackie, who had escaped again.

Lu Qing'an agreed to try to bring the Saber God back to his senses as repayment for Luo Danhong's favor, though he warned he could not guarantee success. After Li Cangxuan and the others failed to break the Saber Domain, everyone looked to Lu Qing'an to act.

• A Saber Alliance expert begged Lu Qing'an to treat the maddened Saber God, but Lu Qing'an initially declined because he was unsure he could help.
• Luo Danhong asked Lu Qing'an to save the Saber God, explaining their long friendship, and Lu Qing'an agreed to try in repayment of his debt to her.
• Lu Qing'an consulted the Dao of Alchemy Master, who said they needed to restrain the Saber God and examine him before judging whether he could be treated.
• Lu Qing'an suggested that his companions test their strength by breaking the Saber Domain, and Li Cangxuan was the first to try.
• The Dao of Alchemy Master, Xiao Qingyi, Xue Tianfei, and the others also tried and failed to overcome the Saber Domain, while Liu Xiyue declined to attempt it.
• Everyone turned to Lu Qing'an, expecting him to break the Saber Domain.

Lu Qing'an broke through the Saber Domain’s defenses, severed its connection to the maddened Saber God, and refined it into a sealed artifact. He then sent Li Cangxuan to fight the Saber God for training.

• Lu Qing'an used a Demonic Qi hand to shatter the Saber Domain’s outer attack layer and sent his Divine Sense inside before it could regenerate.
• He found the Saber God raging at the void, trapped him with a net of Divine Sense, and severed his connection to the domain.
• Lu Qing'an sealed and refined the Saber Domain into a marble-sized light inside a glass box, stunning everyone who watched.
• After the Saber God fixed his killing intent on Lu Qing'an, Lu Qing'an told Li Cangxuan to last ten moves against him.
• Li Cangxuan vowed to last eleven moves and flew toward the Saber God.

Li Cangxuan and the others tested themselves against the crazed Saber God, then joined forces to fight him as he grew stronger by refining the Divine Crystal within him. Lu Qing'an stopped the battle to preserve the crystal, and the Saber God challenged him directly.

• Li Cangxuan survived ten of the Saber God's moves before the eleventh injured him, and Lu Qing'an invited the others to train against the Saber God.
• The Dao of Alchemy Master, Xue Tianfei, Xiao Qingyi, Wang Duanshan, Hu Xinxin, Luo Danhong, and Xu Yunyi each tested their strength against the Saber God, while Liu Xiyue endured eleven moves.
• Li Cangxuan suggested that everyone attack together, and Lu Qing'an agreed as the Saber Alliance members and spectators watched.
• Li Cangxuan and the others struggled to defend themselves as the Saber God rapidly grew stronger by refining his Divine Crystal through battle.
• Lu Qing'an ordered the group to withdraw, and the Saber God fixed his scarlet eyes on Lu Qing'an and challenged him to fight.

Lu Qing'an overwhelmed the Saber God, restrained him, and extracted the activated Divine Crystal without destroying his Dantian or meridians. The Dao of Alchemy Master confirmed he could heal the Saber God, while Lu Qing'an teased him over payment.

• Li Cangxuan and the others evacuated the children as the Saber God attacked Lu Qing'an.
• Lu Qing'an caught the Saber God's full-force strike between two fingers and trapped him in a cocoon of Demonic Qi.
• Lu Qing'an subdued the Saber God, removed an activated water-attribute Divine Crystal, and left him alive with his body stabilized.
• The Nether Bone Dragon decided to stay close to Lu Miaomiao, while Xue Tianfei and Hu Xinxin traded looks over Lu Qing'an.
• The Dao of Alchemy Master examined the Saber God and said he could cure him in one day once the ingredients were gathered.
• The Dao of Alchemy Master asked for a piece of the Divine Crystal as payment, then offered to treat the Saber God for free when Lu Qing'an agreed.

Lu Qing'an subdued the mad Saber God and brought him back so the Dao of Alchemy Master could treat him, while also turning the refined Saber Domain into a cultivation trial for his family and allies. He then set out to retrieve a rare herb from Wu Ciren, who had just heard that Lu Qing'an had grown even stronger.

• Lu Qing'an captured the Saber God, promised to return him to the Saber Alliance in a few days, and brought him and the others back to his courtyard.
• The Dao of Alchemy Master identified the primordial heart-returning vine as the last necessary herb, and Lu Qing'an recalled seeing one in Wu Ciren's herb field.
• Lu Qing'an placed the refined Saber Domain above the pond and asked Luo Danhong to turn it into a trial formation for cultivators of different levels.
• Lu Qing'an encouraged Lu Zhengran and Li Cangxuan and the others to use the Saber Domain to cultivate, telling them to finish refining their existing divine crystals before using the new water-attribute crystal.
• Lu Qing'an left for the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss to visit Wu Ciren, who learned from an informant that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had grown stronger again.

Wu Ciren feared Lu Qing'an's return and assumed he had come to take her divine crystal, while Lu Qing'an had actually come for the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine. The misunderstanding surfaced when Wu Ciren offered him the crystal, leaving Lu Qing'an asking where she had found it.

• Wu Ciren worried about growing stronger experts and hid her divine crystal while cultivating in the Demon Nether Cultivation-Devouring Abyss.
• Lu Qing'an arrived at Wu Ciren's formation and asked her to let him inside.
• Wu Ciren reluctantly brought Lu Qing'an into her pagoda, where he saw the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine was still there.
• Lu Qing'an tried to work out how to ask Wu Ciren for the vine, while Wu Ciren guessed he wanted her divine crystal.
• Wu Ciren offered Lu Qing'an the divine crystal, and he asked where she had obtained it.
