At Luozhen Sect, Qingyuan and the Star God confirmed that Haoyang and others had absorbed Tribulation Power, and the Divine Seal of Creation revealed that this was a trap that would turn them into powerful puppets when the God-Slaying Tribulation erupted. Li Yunjing ordered the sect to prepare and left for the Immortal Alliance gathering, while Haoyang was expected to seek more Tribulation Qi at the Divine Court Ruins.

• Li Yunjing asked Primordial Lord Bi Shui to compare Haoyang's presence with his former peak strength, and she said he was far stronger.
• Fairy Qingyuan and the Star God divined that Haoyang and several others had fused with Tribulation Power, and that Haoyang had reached the threshold of the Divine Lord realm.

• Li Yunjing ordered Luozhen Sect to activate its defenses, forbid gods from absorbing Tribulation Power, and coordinate with other factions at the Immortal Alliance gathering.
• The Divine Seal warned that Haoyang would likely seek more Tribulation Qi at the Divine Court Ruins and could lose control early if he absorbed its Origin Tribulation Qi.
• Two days later, Li Yunjing set out for Central Divine Province with Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, Hundred Herbs Old Immortal, and other gods.

Li Yunjing arrived in Heaven-Soaring City for the gathering and met the other two Sovereigns of the Immortal Alliance, Dao Lord Xuanyuan and Dao Lord Hanzun. He learned that an upper-realm Immortal Lord Qingxu was seeking a way to target him, and the chapter left him warned to stay cautious.

At the Immortal Alliance assembly, Li Yunjing warned the gathered forces that absorbing Tribulation Power was a trap designed to turn gods and cultivators into slaughtering puppets. He revealed that Heavenly Lord Haoyang was heading toward the High Antiquity Divine Court Ruins and proposed a coordinated response to the calamity.

• Li Yunjing, Dao Lord Hanzun, Dao Lord Xuanyuan, and Zhang Jianchen discussed the God-Slaying Tribulation before attending the assembly in the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals.
• Zhang Jianchen told the assembled leaders that the tribulation had arrived early, with seven sects destroyed and nearly thirty gods dead or maddened in three months.
• The gathered forces argued over whether to defend their territories or launch an attack against maddened gods and evil entities.
• Li Yunjing revealed that Heavenly Lord Haoyang had absorbed Tribulation Power and warned that the apparent opportunity was a trap that would eventually turn those who absorbed it into puppets.
• Li Yunjing explained that Haoyang was heading for the High Antiquity Divine Court Ruins, where sealed Origin Tribulation Qi could make him lose control and cause widespread destruction.
• Li Yunjing proposed banning deliberate contact with Tribulation Power, monitoring Tribulation Qi, building earth vein barriers, and uniting mortals, cultivators, and gods.

Li Yunjing persuaded the Immortal Alliance to adopt Luozhen Province’s proven calamity-control system, but an urgent report revealed that Haoyang had invaded the Divine Court Ruins seeking Solar Adamantine. Li Yunjing assembled an expedition to stop him and prepared to depart, relying on the Five Aggregates Cauldron if the battle came down to it.

• Li Yunjing described Luozhen Province’s system for reducing Calamity Qi, and Zhang Jianchen led the factions in agreeing to implement it across the provinces.
• A wounded deacon reported that Haoyang and five calamity-empowered experts had breached the Divine Court Ruins and were heading for the Sun Hall to seize Solar Adamantine.
• Li Yunjing volunteered to lead a force to stop Haoyang before he could reach the ruins’ Origin Calamity Qi.
• Dao Lord Xuanyuan offered 120 formation specialists, Dao Lord Hanzun offered 50 Cold Abyss warriors, and Zhang Jianchen added 100 Immortal Alliance elites to the expedition.
• Li Yunjing ordered Fang Hexuan, ten battle-formation gods, and Primordial Lord Bi Shui to meet the team at Luofeng Town, then said the Five Aggregates Cauldron would be crucial if needed.

Li Yunjing led an alliance force through the Great Wilderness to pursue Haoyang, who was seeking the Solar Adamantine in the Divine Court Ruins. After reaching the ruins and finding signs of a battle, Li Yunjing’s group entered and hurried after Haoyang, whose presence was already deep inside.

• Li Yunjing gathered nearly five hundred Immortal Alliance, Cold Abyss Battle Division, and formation-team elites at Luofeng Town.
• Primordial Lord Bi Shui explained the Divine Court Ruins’ three layers and described the dangers and route to the Sun Hall.
• Li Yunjing ordered the force to travel through the night, and its fighters repelled attacks by beasts and Tribulation Qi-corrupted Rogue Cultivators along the way.
• At the ruins’ entrance, the group found corpses and bloodstains, suggesting Haoyang and his companions had faced resistance.
• Li Yunjing ordered True Person Qingwei’s formation team to lead and Elder Du'e’s battle division to guard the force as they entered the ruins.
• Li Yunjing sensed Haoyang moving deeper into the ruins and ordered the group to pick up speed.

Li Yunjing’s group reached the inner district gate of the Divine Court ruins and fought off corrupted ancient guards. Haoyang’s four followers tried to delay them, but Li Yunjing killed all four in moments, clearing the way forward.

• True Person Qingwei inspected the inner district gate and found three damaged illusion formations and two damaged killing formations that her team could break.
• Fifteen Vicious Spirits attacked, and Elder Du'e led the Cold Abyss Battle Division in killing them.
• Jinyan ambushed Li Yunjing, but Wangshu blocked the golden fire before Jinyan revealed that Haoyang had sent him to delay the group.
• Tuling, Fengsha, and a supreme elder of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect joined Jinyan, and Li Yunjing badly injured Jinyan with one punch.
• Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to immobilize and kill Tuling, Fengsha, and the supreme elder, then killed the fleeing Jinyan with Sword Qi.

Li Yunjing’s group reached the Sun Hall and confronted Haoyang as he tried to break its formation and claim the Solar Adamantine. Li Yunjing held his own against Haoyang, who unleashed a powerful spear technique at the chapter’s end.

• Li Yunjing’s group advanced through the temple district after defeating Jinyan’s forces, whose divine cores had been ruined by Tribulation Qi.
• At the Sun Hall, Li Yunjing found Haoyang and four followers attacking the Sun-Burning Grand Formation to reach the Solar Adamantine.
• Li Yunjing ordered Du'e, Qingwei, and Chu Han to attack Haoyang’s followers while he confronted Haoyang himself.
• Li Yunjing and Haoyang exchanged blows with the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword and the Blazing Sun Divine Spear, astonishing the watching fighters by remaining evenly matched.
• Haoyang retreated and unleashed Blazing Sun: Burning Heaven, while Li Yunjing summoned the Five Aggregates Cauldron to protect himself.

Li Yunjing fought Haoyang over the Solar Adamantine while their allies defeated Haoyang’s followers. Haoyang absorbed the Tribulation Qi in the Divine Court Ruins and rose beyond the level of a Divine Lord, leaving the ruins shaking under his power.

• Haoyang shattered the Sun-Burning Grand Formation and rushed into the Sun Hall, where he and Li Yunjing fought over the Solar Adamantine.
• Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to hold Haoyang off as Wangshu and Primordial Lord Bi Shui killed Tuling and Fengsha, while Elder Du'e and the others killed the grand elder.
• Haoyang emerged from the Sun Hall and found his followers dead, then declared that he had another means of fighting back.
• Li Yunjing warned the others that Haoyang was absorbing the Tribulation Qi, but Haoyang absorbed it and surpassed the level of a Divine Lord.

Haoyang lost control after absorbing too much tribulation power and exploded, leaving the Immortal Alliance to warn the Dao Realm against absorbing it. Li Yunjing helped expand the Gods' Hall and earth-vein barrier across the provinces, but disaster soon struck Northern Spirit Province.

• The Five Spirits Lord used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to shield Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and the others from Haoyang's oppressive force.
• Tribulation power overwhelmed Haoyang, shattering his divinity and body; the group believed he had died, though his corpse's finger twitched after they left.
• Zhang Jianchen arrived with reinforcements, retrieved the Solar Adamantine, and later broadcast Haoyang's fate across the Dao Realm.
• The Immortal Alliance banned the willing absorption of tribulation power and declared that anyone who did so could be killed.
• Li Yunjing and his companions established Gods' Hall branches and earth-vein barriers across the provinces, slowing the spread of tribulation Qi.
• Northern Spirit Province became the first province to suffer a disaster.

Black rain consumed Northern Spirit Province, leaving a deadly barrier that cut off all contact with Dao Lord Hanzun. Li Yunjing upgraded the teleportation array and worked to copy Hanzun’s coordinates as the wider Dao Realm grew more dangerous and refugees crowded into Luozhen Province.

• Black rain and black frost turned Northern Spirit Province’s living beings into stone, while a barrier trapped those who could not escape.
• Zhang Jianchen told Li Yunjing that Northern Spirit Province had fallen and that the Immortal Alliance could not contact Dao Lord Hanzun.
• Li Yunjing proposed using Hanzun’s soul imprint for targeted teleportation and returned to Luozhen Mountain to upgrade the array to lv10.
• Li Yunjing failed twice to copy Hanzun’s spatial imprint, then used the Five Aggregates Cauldron and the Five Spirits Lord’s help to stabilize space.
• As Tribulation Qi and other calamities spread, refugees poured into Luozhen Province, and Mo Xuan struggled to manage the growing population.
• Li Yunjing remained at the Heavenly Pivot Platform, continuing to adjust the teleportation array.

Li Yunjing learned that a hidden mastermind was driving the calamity in Northern Spirit Province and led Wangshu and Primordial Lord Bi Shui there to investigate and rescue Dao Lord Hanzun. After a perilous teleport, they found a devastated province and encountered Du'e's group under attack.

• The Five Spirits Lord told Li Yunjing that someone was generating the Tribulation Qi in Northern Spirit Province and may have manipulated Haoyang into absorbing it.
• Li Yunjing summoned Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and Mo Xuan, then ordered Mo Xuan to maintain the sect's work while he prepared to travel north.
• Li Yunjing, Wangshu, and Primordial Lord Bi Shui teleported toward Northern Spirit Province, using the Five Aggregates Cauldron to shield themselves from the barrier's interference.
• The group arrived in a land buried in black ice and Tribulation Qi, where Li Yunjing warned them that their divine senses were suppressed.
• Li Yunjing and the two gods passed a town whose inhabitants had been petrified and fought off frenzied cultivators as the calamity worsened farther north.
• Li Yunjing's group rescued Du'e and his companions from frenzied desolate beasts, and Du'e excitedly asked how Li Yunjing had entered the province.

Li Yunjing and his companions fought their way into the Cold Abyss earth vein and rescued Dao Lord Hanzun from black-furred monsters. They learned that an ancient evil cultivator’s divine sense was using an altar to turn the Northern Spirit Province into a Tribulation Domain, and they faced the danger of destroying it.

• Du'e told Li Yunjing that Dao Lord Hanzun had gone into the earth vein to investigate an altar and that black-furred monsters had driven his forces back.
• Li Yunjing, Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and Du'e defeated the monsters guarding the earth vein entrance and entered the passage.
• The group found Dao Lord Hanzun fighting powerful black-furred monsters around a rune-covered altar, and Li Yunjing helped defeat them with the Five Aggregates Cauldron.
• Dao Lord Hanzun explained that an ancient evil cultivator’s divine sense controlled the altar and was using its Tribulation Pearl to transform the Northern Spirit Province into a Tribulation Domain.
• Dao Lord Hanzun warned that destroying the altar could detonate the Tribulation Pearl and blow apart half the Northern Spirit Province.

Li Yunjing and his allies broke the Calamity-Birth Array and captured the Tribulation Pearl, ending the immediate calamity in Northern Spirit Province. The mastermind's true body escaped and vowed to descend in person, leaving Li Yunjing wary of another attack.

• Five Spirits Lord identified the altar's formation as a Calamity-Birth Array intended to nurture a Tribulation Spirit for the mastermind's descent into the lower realm.
• Li Yunjing assigned Du'e, Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and Dao Lord Hanzun to contain the altar and keep its divine sense occupied while he sealed the array foundation.
• Li Yunjing sealed the array foundation, and the Five Aggregates Cauldron refined the old ghost's avatar.
• The Five Aggregates Cauldron suppressed the Tribulation Pearl and absorbed it along with the mastermind's powerful will.
• The black barrier faded, and Li Yunjing's group returned to the surface as reinforcements approached from the Immortal Alliance and other provinces.
• Li Yunjing warned that the mastermind's true body remained at large and suspected the conflict was only beginning.

The God-Destroying Calamity erupted across the Tianyuan Dao Realm, but preparations promoted by Li Yunjing helped most regions contain the damage. Then extraterrestrial monsters led by the Tribulation Transcendence commander Primeval Blood Eye attacked Luozhen City, and Li Yunjing confronted him as Blood Eye unleashed his blood-eye technique.

• Calamity Qi burst from earth veins across the Tianyuan Dao Realm, causing casualties and destruction, while prepared defenses prevented another province-wide collapse.
• Li Yunjing learned that Northern Spirit Province was recovering and ordered supplies sent to aid its reconstruction.
• A rift opened above Luozhen City, and an army of armored extraterrestrial beings descended and attacked the city's defensive array.
• Wangshu identified the attackers as beings who wielded Calamity Qi, and Li Yunjing went to confront their commander while the sect reinforced its defenses.
• The commander introduced himself as Primeval Blood Eye and said Dao Lord Qingxu had sent him to claim the world.
• Li Yunjing blocked Blood Eye's attack with the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner, and Blood Eye fired his Blood Eye: Realm Shattering technique at him.

Li Yunjing killed Commander Blood Eye and led Luozhen’s disciples to defeat the Desolate Ancient army, but the widening rift promised a larger invasion. The Five Spirits Lord revealed that Immortal Lord Qingxu was behind the attack, seeking the Dao Ancestor of Creation’s inheritance and a breakthrough through the God-Slaying Tribulation.

• Li Yunjing used the Luozhen Great Spiritual Banner to purify and destroy Commander Blood Eye.
• Li Yunjing ordered Luozhen’s disciples to leave the city and fight; they routed the Desolate Ancient army, and spirit cannons destroyed its fleeing remnants.
• The Five Spirits Lord sensed more enemies beyond the widening rift, including cultivators from other Dao Realms.
• The Five Spirits Lord explained that Qingxu had betrayed the Dao Ancestor of Creation, stolen half of his Dao Scripture, and caused the Five Spirits Lord to fall to the lower realm.
• The Five Spirits Lord identified Immortal Lord Qingxu as the mastermind, seeking to use the God-Slaying Tribulation to break through and seize the Dao Ancestor’s inheritance.
• The Five Spirits Lord said Qingxu had sent a split consciousness to command a coalition army, and Li Yunjing asked how much power Qingxu could bring to bear.

Li Yunjing attended an Immortal Alliance council in Heaven-Soaring City, where Zhang Jianchen revealed that Dao Lord Qingxu commanded more than two million enemies beyond the expanding rift. With the leaders divided over how to defend, Li Yunjing proposed taking the fight into the void and presented Luozhen Province’s flying warship blueprints.

• Li Yunjing received Zhang Jianchen’s summons, entrusted Mo Xuan with sect affairs, and traveled to Heaven-Soaring City.
• Zhang Jianchen showed the gathered leaders Dao Lord Qingxu’s vast army and warned that it could cross the expanding rift within three months.
• The leaders argued over whether to defend the rift or attack the enemy, but reached no decision.
• Li Yunjing declared that they could not hold the line and said he had a way to take the army across the void.
• Li Yunjing revealed blueprints for Luozhen Province’s void-capable Province Class warship and Creation Class flagship, leaving the leaders stunned and skeptical.

Li Yunjing persuaded the Immortal Alliance to build a void fleet using Luozhen Sect’s warship technology, while Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi supplied rare materials from High Antiquity. The alliance formed a shipbuilding bureau, but Li Yunjing warned that Dao Lord Qingxu would attack before the fleet could be completed.

• Li Yunjing revealed that the Luozhen Sect had built thirty-six Mystic Crane Class frigates and three Province Class battleships, and could expand production with sufficient resources and craftsmen.
• Li Yunjing agreed to share the shipbuilding blueprints and provide core craftsmen, on the conditions that the headquarters be in Luozhen Province, the Immortal Alliance control resources and the fleet, and others not copy the technology without authorization.
• Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi emerged from seclusion and donated star core adamantine, void stones, and Star Raft wreckage to improve the fleet’s ships and spirit cannons.
• Zhang Jianchen established the Void Shipbuilding General Bureau, appointing Li Yunjing as chief and Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi as honored elders, with a three-month deadline for the first fleet.
• Li Yunjing warned Zhang Jianchen and the others that Dao Lord Qingxu would not allow three months of preparation and that Luozhen Province’s shipbuilding headquarters would need protection.

Li Yunjing returned to Luozhen Province and organized a massive shipbuilding effort, but disputes over construction methods, material allocations, and pill supplies threatened to stall the work. He resolved the craftsmen’s argument with a combined welding standard, then turned to confront Zhao Kun over the Flowing Cloud Sect’s materials.

• Li Yunjing established the Shipbuilding General Administration in Heavenly Craft Valley, assigned responsibilities, and mobilized craftsmen and resources from across the Dao Realm.
• Shi Jian and Liu Chengqi argued over fusion welding and forge welding, while Zhao Kun protested that his sect’s escort ships received lower-grade Fallen Star Iron and Liu Yunsong warned that pill supplies were being depleted.
• Mo Xuan asked Li Yunjing to take charge, and Li Yunjing tested both welding methods by hammering and vibrating sample bars.
• The fusion-welded bar broke under simulated void vibrations, while the forge-welded bar remained intact, so the Craft God proposed combining the two methods.
• Li Yunjing ordered the Craft God to establish a unified process using both welding methods, settling the dispute before going to hear Zhao Kun’s complaint.

Li Yunjing settled disputes over shipbuilding materials and pills, allowing the new fleet to be completed. When a massive enemy force attacked, Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi destroyed much of it and pursued the survivors through the rift, discovering their stronghold on a floating rock in the void.

• Li Yunjing upheld the rules for meteorite iron and redirected pills to the front lines, halving the shipbuilders’ allowance.
• Li Yunjing established the Shipbuilding Council, and ten days later twenty Mystic Crane Class frigates and two Luozhen Province Class main warships stood ready.
• A force of more than a hundred bone warships, over a thousand primordial flying beasts, and tens of thousands of warriors attacked Luozhen Province.
• Xuanjizi destroyed the enemy vanguard with his horsetail whisk, while Yunyouzi killed the primordial commander and four Tribulation Transcendence Stage leaders.
• Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi routed nearly half the invading army, then followed the survivors through the rift and found their stronghold on a floating rock in the void.
• Yunyouzi struck down several thousand fleeing cultivators as the survivors escaped behind the floating rock’s barrier.

After Yunyouzi and Xuanjizi routed the enemy vanguard, Li Yunjing remained wary and resolved to take the initiative. Dao Lord Qingxu revealed that he sought the Divine Seal of Creation and planned to strengthen his forces before attacking Tianyuan again.

• Yunyouzi and Xuanjizi returned to Luozhen City after defeating the vanguard, and they warned Li Yunjing that Dao Lord Qingxu had watched without intervening.
• Li Yunjing recognized that the enemy's main force had not yet acted and grew more determined to strike rather than defend passively.
• Dao Lord Qingxu rebuked Blood Baleful Intent and the other commanders for losing most of the vanguard, then rejected a full assault because the two Loose Immortals could inflict heavy losses.
• Qingxu disclosed that he wanted the Divine Seal of Creation and the Dao Ancestor's inheritance hidden in the Tianyuan Dao Realm.
• Qingxu ordered his forces to conquer three weakened western worlds, strengthen his avatar and army, and harass Tianyuan until its defenders let down their guard.
• Alone in his tent, Qingxu recalled that the Dao Ancestor of Creation had expelled him for cultivating Tribulation Power and vowed to claim the Divine Seal to prove his former master wrong.

Li Yunjing proposed striking Qingxu’s forces in the void before they could grow stronger, and the Immortal Alliance approved an expedition with Li as commander. The fleet set sail toward the heavenly rift, leaving the Dao Realm’s defenses to Zhang Jianchen and the two Loose Immortal patriarchs.

• Li Yunjing urged Zhang Jianchen to take the offensive, and Zhang agreed to bring the proposal before the factions.
• At the council, Li argued that an expedition could destroy Qingxu’s forward bases and buy time; a majority voted in favor.
• Zhang Jianchen appointed Li commander in chief, and Li selected Dao Lord Hanzun, Dao Lord Xuanyuan, other specialists, and a force of operators, formation disciples, and elite warriors.
• Li arranged for two capital ships and twenty frigates to sail, while Zhang Jianchen and the two Loose Immortal patriarchs guarded the rear.
• Three days later, Li and the expedition boarded the Mystic Yellow, the Azure Nether, and the frigates at Heavenly Craft Valley, then sailed toward the rift in the heavens.

Li Yunjing led the fleet through the void and used a diversion to target the black bone umbrella protecting the Floating Tribulation Stone. The Creation Destruction Cannons struck the umbrella, leaving its fate uncertain.

• Li Yunjing guided the concealed fleet through the void toward the Floating Tribulation Stone.
• He sent twenty Mystic Crane Class ships to attack the enemy patrol ships and draw the defenders away from the shield.
• Commander Blood Baleful Intent pursued one group of ships while the other exiled Dao Masters chased the second group.
• Li Yunjing ordered the Mystic Yellow and Azure Nether to fire their fully charged main cannons at the black bone umbrella.
• The beams vaporized the elders who tried to block them and struck the black bone umbrella.

Li Yunjing led the Tianyuan fleet in a surprise attack on the Floating Tribulation Stone, inflicting heavy casualties and damaging its protective umbrella before withdrawing with few losses. After returning to Heavenly Craft Valley, he briefed the leadership on Qingxu’s forces and defenses, while warning that the enemy’s true strength remained unknown.

• Li Yunjing ordered the fleet to withdraw after its attack tore open the Tribulation Umbrella and killed or wounded tens of thousands of enemy soldiers.
• Blood Baleful Intent pursued the retreating fleet, but the Mystic Yellow and Azure Nether repelled his warships with their shields and secondary cannons.
• Dao Lord Qingxu stopped Blood Baleful Intent, acknowledged that he had underestimated Li Yunjing, and ordered the army to stay alert and expand its forces by conquering three small worlds.
• Li Yunjing’s fleet returned to Heavenly Craft Valley with no deaths, one damaged escort ship, and three severely wounded crew members, prompting a jubilant welcome.
• Li Yunjing briefed the leadership that Qingxu commanded about two hundred thousand troops at the Floating Tribulation Stone and that the black bone umbrella could quickly repair damage from the main cannon.

Li Yunjing rushed a fleet to Northern Spirit Province after learning a large enemy force was approaching, while leaving other forces to defend Luozhen Province and Central Divine Province. The fleet reached the desolate province, where heavy Tribulation Qi obscured the area and scattered living beings appeared to be waiting to the north.

• Li Yunjing ordered accelerated warship construction and void combat training as the Dao Realm prepared for future battles.
• After a month of shipbuilding and relative calm, a communication talisman warned Li Yunjing that a large enemy force was moving toward Northern Spirit Province.
• Li Yunjing concluded Qingxu planned to circle behind their forces and cut through Central Divine Province, then divided the defenders to guard against both an attack and a feint.
• Li Yunjing led twenty-five warships north with Xuanjizi, while Zhang Jianchen returned to oversee Divine Central Province and Yunyouzi stayed to defend Luozhen Province.
• At Northern Spirit Province, the fleet found no visible army, but Dao Lord Hanzun sensed many living beings and Dao Lord Xuanyuan detected scattered figures through the dense Tribulation Qi.
• Li Yunjing ordered the fleet forward with its main cannons charged and shields at full strength.

Li Yunjing learned that Dao Lord Qingxu had destroyed the Purple Wind Dao Realm and was conquering other realms, then arranged shelter for its refugees. He urged Zhang Jianchen to contact other Dao Realms and build an alliance before Qingxu could grow too powerful.

• Fang Minghui led fewer than thirty thousand survivors from the Purple Wind Dao Realm to seek refuge with the Luozhen Sect fleet.
• Fang Minghui told Li Yunjing that Qingxu had destroyed the Purple Wind Dao Realm and three others, and was marching on the Golden Sand Dao Realm.
• Li Yunjing promised the refugees shelter and supplies in Northern Spirit Province, provided they followed Tianyuan's rules and helped resist Qingxu.
• Li Yunjing returned to Heaven-Soaring City and told Zhang Jianchen about Qingxu's conquests and his growing strength.
• Li Yunjing proposed using ancient cross-realm teleportation formations to contact other Dao Realms and form an alliance against Qingxu.
