After Divine Lord Bi Sitong’s sermon improved Kong Wenxuan and his relatives’ understanding of the Dao of Fire, the Bi Household’s celebration moved into the Bifang Blessed Land for a discussion of the Dao. Kong Wenxuan watched the Middle-Grade True Spirit Lineages display their distinct methods, while members of the Kong Household learned from the contests.

• Divine Lord Bi Sitong finished preaching, and Kong Wenxuan felt his skill with the Crimson Fire Divine Sword and related techniques improve; Kong Yushuo’s recently gained Golden Core cultivation also settled and strengthened.

After the Bifang Bi Household’s promotion celebration, Kong Wenxuan returned to his Lineage while the Bi Household supported five lineages in Star Inlaying and expanding Bifang Commandery. The new counties created fresh neighbors and potential rivals for the Kong Household, though the Red Leopard Bao Household settled far from Peacock County.

• The Law discussion ranked the Chongming Ming Household first, the Bifang Bi Household second, and the Qinggeng Geng Household third, followed by four Sixth-Grade lineages.

• The five newly promoted lineages began establishing counties across Bifang Commandery, including Black Crane County near Shrike County and a Red Leopard county in the South Lake Mountains.
• The Red Leopard Bao Household began expanding from the western South Lake Mountains, keeping its new county relatively far from Peacock County.

Kong Yuyan completed the Kong Household’s first Third-Tier Peacock Treasure Boat, and Kong Wenxuan and the others tested its defensive and offensive formations. The True Spirit Realm’s counterattack against the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven had still not begun, giving the Kong Household more time to prepare.

• Kong Wenxuan heard a peacock cry from the Fire Pool and went to see the newly completed Third-Tier Peacock Treasure Boat rise into the air.

• Kong Wenxuan and the others approved of the boat and hoped the Kong Household could forge more for the coming offensive.
• Reports from Bifang Commandery City showed that enemy attacks continued across the True Spirit Realm and the counterattack had not begun, giving the Kong Household more time to grow stronger.

Over six years, the Kong Household expanded its forces while Kong Wenxuan refined the White Metal Divine Sword into a quasi-Fourth Tier Law Treasure. With the counterattack against the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven delayed, he joined a merchant caravan bound for Zhuyan Commandery to borrow metal Sha Qi for the sword’s final tempering.

• Kong Wenxuan joined Kong Wenjun’s merchant caravan, boarded a Peacock Treasure Boat, and traveled toward Bifang Commandery City to join the Bi Household’s caravan.

Kong Wenxuan arrived in Bifang Commandery City and resumed refining the Black Water Divine Sword while waiting for the caravans to continue their journey.

He watched as the Bifang True Spirit transformed the Water Element Lightning Tribulation gathering for True Person Bi Yanhong into a Fire Element Lightning Tribulation, leaving his breakthrough looking promising.

• The Bifang True Spirit scattered tricolored starlight into the clouds, changing the tribulation lightning from Water Element to Fire Element.

Kong Wenxuan watched True Person Bi Yanhong endure the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation, which the Bi Household’s grand array and Bifang True Spirit helped him survive. After suppressing the Demonic Nature Backlash, Bi Yanhong advanced to become True Lord Bi Yanhong.

• Kong Wenxuan watched Bi Yanhong block the first wave of tribulation lightning with talismans, Law Treasures, and Divine Abilities.

After Bi Yanhong advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Bi Household prepared its caravan for a trading journey, and Kong Wenxuan joined it with the Kong Household’s boats. Under Bi Yanyu’s command, the caravan departed Bifang Commandery City and began traveling through space at the speed of the Fifth-Tier Bifang Void Boat.

• Bi Yanhong passed his lightning tribulation, and the Bi Household held a Nascent Soul banquet that Kong Wenxuan and Kong Wenjun attended.

• Bi Yizhen brought Kong Wenxuan aboard the Bifang Void Boat, where he met Bi Yanyu, the Nascent Soul True Lord commanding the journey.
• After the leaders introduced themselves, Kong Wenxuan returned to his boat, and the caravan set out east from Bifang Commandery City the next day.
• Bi Yanyu’s Bifang Void Boat spread three-colored flames over the following vessels and carried the entire caravan through space at increased speed.

Kong Wenxuan traveled with the Bi Household caravan while refining the Black Water Divine Sword, reaching Qinggeng Commandery before continuing on to Dangkang Commandery. The caravan arrived at its second stop after completing its business in Qinggeng, and Kong Wenxuan remained focused on his cultivation.

• Kong Wenxuan refined the Black Water Divine Sword aboard his Peacock Treasure Boat as the Bi Household caravan traveled through dangerous routes.
• The Bi Household caravan reached Qinggeng Commandery City after more than ten days of travel through space.
• Kong Wenxuan stayed in seclusion for over two months while Kong Wenjun handled the caravan's trade and the Crested Ibis Huan Household offered assistance.
• The Bi Household caravan completed its trading in Qinggeng Commandery and set out north again.
• The caravan crossed the land controlled by the Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household and reached Dangkang Commandery.

Kong Wenxuan traveled with the Bi Household caravan through the commanderies to Zhuyan Commandery, where he gathered metal Sha Qi to advance the White Metal Divine Sword. After three months of refinement, the sword became a Fourth-Tier Law Treasure, and Kong Wenxuan reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

• Kong Wenxuan traveled with the Bi Household caravan through Dangkang, Xuanniao, and Chongming Commanderies, refining his sword and cultivating along the way.
• The Kong Household caravan had purchased Fourth-Tier Primordial Magnetism spirit materials in Chongming Commandery for Kong Wenxuan’s future sword formation.
• Kong Wenjun and the others arranged for Kong Wenxuan to enter the Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation through the Jufu True Spirit Ju Household in Jufu County.
• Kong Wenxuan gathered metal Sha Qi and spent three months purifying and advancing the White Metal Divine Sword to a Fourth-Tier Law Treasure.
• Kong Wenxuan’s cultivation advanced to the Middle Stage of Golden Core as the White Metal Divine Sword completed its transformation.

After advancing the White Metal Divine Sword to a Fourth Tier Law Treasure and reaching the Middle Stage of Golden Core, Kong Wenxuan tested it against treasures in the Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation. His use of One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws pierced a Primordial Magnetism Mountain Peak, triggering violent activity throughout the formation and leaving him preparing to retreat.

• Kong Wenxuan tested his White Metal Divine Sword against the Fourth Tier Flying Snow Flying Sword and cut it in two with Refining the Sword into Threads.
• Kong Wenxuan found that Refining the Sword into Threads could not penetrate the Primordial Magnetism Mountain Peak's Essence Magnetism Force Field.
• Kong Wenxuan used One Sword Gives Rise to Ten Thousand Laws to break through the field and strike the Primordial Magnetism Mountain Peak.
• The Ten Thousand Laws Grand Formation began rumbling and moving its treasures, so Kong Wenxuan recalled his swords, summoned the other four to defend himself, and prepared to leave with the Jufu Ju Household's jade plaque.

Kong Wenxuan discovered that the seven commanderies of Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture had linked their Origin-Securing Grand Formations into a powerful Myriad Phenomena Grand Array to repel a major invasion. As battles between formidable forces raged overhead, scattered enemies landed near him and charged, forcing him to fight.

• Kong Wenxuan tried to use his jade token to leave the Myriad Treasures Grand Formation, but the passage failed to appear.
• Kong Wenxuan recognized the formations of the other commanderies joining his own beneath the Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit, forming a single Myriad Phenomena Grand Array.
• Kong Wenxuan realized the prefecture was responding to a powerful attack by the Demon Race and martial cultivators, so he prepared his Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation.
• The enemy’s demonic and martial forces broke through the starlight, but the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array blocked their attacks and drew them into the formation.
• Terrifying opponents fought above the array at a level Kong Wenxuan could not comprehend, while scattered enemies landed nearby and charged him.

Kong Wenxuan watched the Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation annihilate an invading force without his help, then saw the formation restore its damaged treasures using treasure Qi and battlefield remains. He wondered whether the Kong Household should adopt or incorporate the formation when it established Peacock Commandery.

• Demon Race members, Demon Beasts, and martial cultivators charged into the formation in formations, flying boats, and chariots.
• The Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation shattered the attackers’ defenses and killed the exposed forces with a relentless barrage of treasures.
• The attackers destroyed many of the formation’s weapons in return, but the formation repaired them with treasure Qi and recycled wreckage into materials and power.
• Kong Wenxuan watched the formation defeat the assault without his intervention and was stunned by its strength.
• Kong Wenxuan considered choosing or incorporating the formation when the Kong Household established its own Origin-Securing Grand Formation.

Kong Wenxuan joined the Jufu Ju Household cultivators inside the Myriad Treasures Grand Formation and gained access to its treasures through a stamped jade token. He combined borrowed treasures with his Five Elements Divine Swords to create a flawed pseudo Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation, giving him a preview of the genuine formation’s power.

• Ju Xiuyuan invited Kong Wenxuan to travel with the Jufu Ju Household cultivators, and Kong agreed.
• Ju Xiuyuan stamped a jade token with the Jufu County magistrate's official seal, allowing Kong Wenxuan to connect to the grand formation and draw on its treasures.
• Kong Wenxuan summoned the Primordial Magnetism Mountain Peak and used its Essence Magnetism Force Field to protect himself.
• Kong Wenxuan summoned water- and earth-element flying sword Law Treasures and temporarily merged them with his Black Water Divine Sword and Yellow Earth Divine Sword.
• Kong Wenxuan combined the Five Elements Divine Swords, the Primordial Magnetism Mountain Peak's force field, and the borrowed sword treasures to lay out a flawed pseudo Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Formation.

Kong Wenxuan watched the seven commanderies’ Origin-Securing Grand Formations merge into a complete Seventh Tier Myriad Phenomena Mori World, which empowered its myriad treasures and greatly intensified their attacks across the battlefield. The united formation eased the pressure on the southern forces, so Kong Wenxuan held back from rushing to aid the Kong Household.

• Kong Wenxuan used treasures inside the Myriad Treasures Mori Origin-Securing Grand Formation to assemble a Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array.
• The seven commanderies’ grand formations merged into a complete Myriad Phenomena Mori World, strengthening its treasures and the powers of the five elements, yin, and yang.
• Kong Wenxuan saw Divine Lord Bi Sitong fighting a Sixth Tier Gonggong martial cultivator while the Bi Household’s forces battled across Bifang Commandery.
• Kong Wenxuan saw the Kong Household and several recently advanced Ninth-Grade lineages suffering heavy losses, and he prepared to rush to the southern battlefield.
• The unified Seventh Tier formation unleashed its empowered myriad treasures against the invading armies, breaking formations and killing enemies across the battlefield.
• The attacks eased the danger on the southern battlefield, and Kong Wenxuan no longer hurried to join the Kong Household’s forces.

The Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household merged the seven commandery formations into a Seventh-Tier grand formation to trap and destroy the invading forces. After a Lu Household Divine Lord killed a Sixth-Tier fire ape, the invaders’ morale collapsed, prompting their Seventh-Tier experts to leave their spatial battlefields and intervene.

• The Lu Household merged the seven Origin-Securing Grand Formations into a Seventh-Tier grand formation and trapped the invading armies inside.
• The formation empowered Fifth-Tier Spirit Treasures into Sixth-Tier divine artifacts, helping Divine Lord Bi Sitong gain the upper hand against a Gonggong martial cultivator.
• A Late Spirit Transformation Divine Lord of the Lu Household used the Supreme Yin Ice Soul Cold Light Sword to kill a Sixth-Tier fire ape of the Demon Race.
• The invaders’ morale broke, and their retreat attempts failed as the formation continued crushing them.
• Seventh-Tier members of the Demon Race and martial cultivators left their spatial battlefields and rushed into the grand formation below.

The Lu Household’s Myriad Phenomena Grand Array came under attack from a Demon-Summoning Banner projection and a giant manifested by the True Martial Hall, forcing the array to divert much of its power to defend itself. The array held, but the Demon Race and martial cultivators inside it broke free and renewed their assault on the household forces.

• Kong Wenxuan saw Seventh Tier Demon Race members and martial cultivators break through space, but the Lu Household’s Void Refinement cultivators dragged them back into separate spatial battlefields with help from the Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit Star.
• The Seventh Tier attackers struck the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array with demonic and martial light, shaking the array and giving the Sixth Tier invaders a chance to escape danger.
• The attackers formed a Demon-Summoning Banner projection with a moon-treading silver deer and a True Martial Hall projection whose twelve True Martial Manifestations merged into a giant holding an axe.
• The deer demon’s moon-white light hindered the array, while the giant’s axe blows cracked its joined sections; the Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit Star then poured starlight into the array to strengthen it.
• The Lu Household sent more than half the array’s power and its Ten Thousand Treasures against the projections, blocking their attacks and preventing the array from breaking apart.
• With the array focused on defense, the Demon Race members, Demon Beasts, and martial cultivators inside it broke free and charged the households’ forces.

Kong Wenxuan used his newly assembled Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array to destroy Fourth Tier enemies after the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array’s power was diverted. His attacks scattered the enemy forces and began turning the western battlefield in Zhuyan Commandery’s favor.

• As the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array struggled to resist powerful enemy attacks, its suppression weakened and enemies charged the bloodline cultivators, inflicting heavy casualties.
• Kong Wenxuan stabilized the three Law Treasures he controlled and activated his Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array against the advancing enemies.
• Kong Wenxuan’s sword array suppressed the power of heaven and earth, weakened four Fourth Tier enemies, and killed them with Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Destruction Sword Light.
• Kong Wenxuan expanded his attack to more Fourth Tier enemies and killed them, then swept across the battlefield, destroying enemy formations, flying boats, and war chariots.
• The cultivators of the True Spirit Lineages charged behind Kong Wenxuan and killed the enemy forces his sword array had scattered, shifting the western battlefield in Zhuyan Commandery’s favor.

Kong Wenxuan led Zhuyan Commandery’s cultivators through the battlefield with his Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array, helping their side gain ground as starlight restored their power. After spotting the Peacock True Spirit Star’s light over the Huodou Commandery battlefield, he headed there to rescue his sister Kong Wenjun and the Kong Household caravan, and the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array transported his group toward them.

• Kong Wenxuan charged through enemy ranks with his sword array, while Zhuyan Commandery’s cultivators followed and routed many invaders.
• Kong Wenxuan replenished his Golden Core power with starlight from the Peacock True Spirit Star, as cultivators across the battlefield drew on their own True Spirit Stars.
• After more than a day of fighting, the lineages of Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture gained ground but had not yet secured a decisive victory.
• Kong Wenxuan noticed Peacock True Spirit starlight over the Huodou Commandery battlefield and realized that Kong Wenjun and the Kong Household caravan were likely there.
• Kong Wenxuan led his group toward Huodou Commandery, and the Extended Net Moon Deer Lu Household shifted the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array to transport them there.

Kong Wenxuan arrived at the Huodou Commandery battlefield and cut through the enemy forces with his Pseudo Great Five Elements Essence Magnetism Sword Formation. He rescued the battered Kong Household caravan, then stunned the Bi Household’s Golden Core True Persons by killing more than ten Fourth Tier enemies.

• Kong Wenxuan and the Zhuyan Commandery contingent were transported to the Huodou Commandery battlefield, where he unleashed his sword formation and tore through enemy ranks.
• Kong Wenxuan discovered that more than half of the Kong Household caravan had been lost and one of its two Peacock Treasure Boats destroyed, while Kong Wenjun and Kong Wenxun struggled to protect the survivors.
• Kong Wenxuan swept away the enemies surrounding the remaining Peacock Treasure Boat, and the Kong Household members rejoiced at his arrival.
• More than ten Fourth Tier enemies attacked Kong Wenxuan, prompting Bi Household Golden Core True Persons to warn him and rush to help.
• Kong Wenxuan trapped the attackers in his sword formation and killed them, leaving the Bi Household’s Golden Core True Persons shocked by his strength.

Kong Wenxuan led the Lineage and allied forces to victory on the Huodou Commandery battlefield, then crossed to Bifang Commandery to rescue the Kong Household. After he reunited with his injured relatives, a Fifth-Tier Nascent Soul True Lord of the Qinggeng Geng Household fell in battle.

• Kong Wenxuan used his sword array to rout the invaders on the Huodou Commandery battlefield, and the allied cultivators pursued the fleeing enemies.
• Kong Wenxuan and the Bi Household caravan led the allied forces toward Bifang Commandery, where the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array transported them to the battlefield.
• The allied forces charged the invaders while Kong Wenxuan protected his Lineage's caravan and fought toward the Kong Household.
• Kong Wenxuan found Kong Changgeng and Kong Yushuo badly injured and exterminated the Fourth-Tier enemies fighting them.
• Kong Wenxuan and the others witnessed a Fifth-Tier Nascent Soul True Lord of the Qinggeng Geng Household transform into the Dao after dying in battle.

After the Geng Household’s Nascent Soul True Lord fell on the Qinggeng Commandery battlefield, Kong Wenxuan helped the allied forces crush the enemy on Bifang before joining the reinforcement march. The Myriad Phenomena Grand Array transported them to Qinggeng, where a fifth-tier martial cultivator immediately attacked them with a storm of golden weapons.

• The Geng Household’s Nascent Soul True Lord fell, alarming the allied cultivators and prompting them to hurry to the Qinggeng Commandery battlefield.
• Kong Wenxuan drove his sword array through the Bifang Commandery battlefield while his Lineage team followed, and the invaders soon broke and fled.
• Kong Wenxuan left his Lineage team behind to pursue the fleeing enemies and joined the forces from the three commanderies heading for Qinggeng.
• The Bi, Huo, and Yan Household cultivators welcomed Kong Wenxuan to the vanguard, recognizing his combat strength.
• The Myriad Phenomena Grand Array transported the reinforcements to Qinggeng, where a fifth-tier martial cultivator unleashed golden weapons against them.

A Fifth-Tier Rushou martial cultivator attacked the reinforcements in Qinggeng Commandery while the Deer Demon-Summoning Banner blocked the True Spirit Stars’ aid. Kong Wenxuan used the Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array to shield the survivors, leaving the array trembling but intact.

• The Demon Race and martial cultivators used the Deer Demon-Summoning Banner to block the True Spirit Stars and sent a Fifth-Tier Rushou martial cultivator to attack the reinforcements from three commanderies.
• The Rushou martial cultivator’s golden weapons killed many cultivators, overwhelming the defenses of the reinforcements.
• Kong Wenxuan drove the Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array to its limit and blocked the remaining golden weapons.
• The sword array held against the attack, protecting the surviving reinforcements.

Kong Wenxuan used the Pseudo-Great Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Sword Array to defend the reinforcements from a Fifth Tier Rushou martial cultivator’s focused attack. With Peacock True Spirit Star starlight and treasure Qi from the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array repairing and strengthening his weapons, Kong Wenxuan recognized the formation’s value and resolved to establish it for his lineage in the future.

• The Fifth Tier Rushou martial cultivator concentrated his golden-light domain and divine weapon into a massive axe, striking Kong Wenxuan’s sword array.
• The axe cracked the array’s force field, the Five Elements Divine Swords, and Kong Wenxuan’s Primordial Magnetism mountain peak Law Treasure.
• Kong Wenxuan drew Five-Colored Starlight from the Peacock True Spirit Star to restore his Golden Core power, heal his injuries, and repair the sword array.
• The Lu Household cultivators redirected treasure Qi from the Myriad Phenomena Grand Array to repair and strengthen Kong Wenxuan’s weapons.
• Kong Wenxuan sensed that the treasure Qi improved the quality and origin of the Five Elements Divine Swords and resolved to establish the formation for his lineage if it advanced to a Middle-Grade True Spirit lineage.

Kong Wenxuan’s sword array collapsed under the combined attacks of a Fifth-Tier Rushou martial cultivator and a Fifth-Tier tiger demon, leaving him badly injured. The Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit then broke through the Demon-Summoning Banner’s projection and protected the reinforcements, forcing the invading Demon Race and martial cultivators to retreat.

• The Five-Colored Starlight and Treasure Qi repeatedly repaired Kong Wenxuan’s sword array as the Fifth-Tier Rushou martial cultivator attacked it.
• The Moon-Treading Silver Deer projection began to dissipate, and its cries urged the invading forces to break the stalemate before the banner collapsed.
• A Fifth-Tier tiger demon joined the Rushou martial cultivator’s attack, shattering Kong Wenxuan’s sword array and grievously injuring him.
• The Rushou martial cultivator attacked the unprotected reinforcements, but the Extended Net Moon Deer True Spirit shielded them with silver-white starlight.
• The Deer Demon-Summoning Banner projection collapsed, and the Fifth- and Sixth-Tier invaders ordered a retreat and fled.
