• Lin Muyang said the war ended only after a Spirit Transformation cultivator intervened and the immortal dynasties adopted the Middle Ages’ [Human Emperor] system, then asked what had caused the conflict.

Lin Muyang explained how the New Method’s unrestricted recruitment led to infant trafficking, a catastrophic war, and strict laws in the Central Continent. He then asked Xue Yong and Hua Chunning to allow the Azure Cloud Sect to hold an Immortal Ascension Ceremony in the Southern Edge Continent, and revealed that its newborns could now have Spirit Roots because the person who had prevented it was gone.

• Xue Yong and Hua Chunning reasoned that the New Method’s low cultivation threshold threatened the survival of small and medium-sized sects by letting great sects recruit widely.

• Daoist Mu and the Bandit Cultivator leader agreed to ambush Hua Chunning on her return to Supreme Mystery Mountain, with the leader revealing that she had caused the death of his close elder.

• An Azure Cloud Sect disciple provoked Hua Chunning into a spar, and Sect Master Qiao Yunzhong agreed to let them fight while warning them not to cause serious harm.
• Lin Muyang explained that the challenger, Lin Xiansheng, belonged to his household and apologized for the dispute; Hua Chunning reassured him that he held no resentment.
• At the technique demonstration platform, Lin Xiansheng introduced himself and attacked with azure sword techniques, while Hua Chunning blocked and dodged with a peach blossom branch.
• Lin Xiansheng closed in and enlarged his wooden sword into a giant blade, but his strike hit only peach blossoms as Hua Chunning disappeared.

Hua Chunning defeated Lin Xiansheng in a sparring match by using illusion, fragrance, and Sha-tainting techniques, then overcame his desperate counterattack with her peach branch.

• Dong Linyuan explained how the Dong Household shared profits from its spirit fish business to maintain goodwill and survive as a fallen clan.
• Dong Linyuan showed Liu Zhijian the underground river, and Liu Zhijian tried fishing with bait Hua Chunning had given him.
• A powerful spirit fish took Liu Zhijian’s bait and snapped his line before he could reel it in.
• Dong Linyuan asked Liu Zhijian about his planned [Old Man by the Stream] Immortal Foundation and warned that it was difficult to complete and unsuited to combat.
• Dong Linyuan described [Ancient Kan Water] and revealed the powerful Immortal Foundation called [Turbid Current Calamity].

Dong Linyuan explained the origins and risks of Ancient and Present Kan Water, then gave Liu Zhijian a copy of the Turbid Current Calamity cultivation method. While Liu Zhijian continued to fish instead of cultivating, Dong Linyuan learned that General Black and the dragon king were trying to make his Kan Water turbid and that the king wanted to meet him.

• Dong Linyuan warned Liu Zhijian to avoid Rosy Clouds Resting Mountain and explained how the Kan Water Fruition changed from Ancient Kan Water to Present Kan Water.

• Dong Linyuan offered Liu Zhijian refined flood dragon sinews, but Liu declined and revealed that he already had a suitable bundle of his own.
• Dong Linyuan’s ancestral chain Law Artifact reacted to Liu’s sinews, leading him to suspect they were dragon sinews rather than flood dragon sinews.
• A dragon’s roar and an approaching tide forced Dong Linyuan to recall the people gathering Qi, disrupting his plan to provoke the dragon prince through a staged incident.
• Liu Zhijian watched a white dragon approach through the waves and wondered whether he might someday fish for one.

A white dragon son threatened Dong Linyuan and Liu Zhijian at Little Dragon Mountain, but Liu Zhijian remained confident that the dragon would not dare come ashore.

• Dong Linyuan urged Liu Zhijian to seek shelter from the approaching white dragon, but Liu Zhijian insisted it would not dare come ashore.

Dong Chengshi watched a Supreme Mystery Mountain cultivator use the White Dragon River to hold back a South Sea dragon son’s assault, then break through during the battle. When the dragon son began forcing the seawater over Dong Chengshi’s dike, the cultivator cast a fishing line into the river, and the heavens and earth at the river mouth collapsed.

• Dong Chengshi feared the dragon son’s waves would destroy his dike and ruin his [Wu Earth] cultivation.
• The Supreme Mystery Mountain cultivator drew on the White Dragon River to resist the dragon son’s Law Artifact and broke through during the struggle.

• As the seawater neared the dike, the Supreme Mystery Mountain cultivator calmly cast a fishing line into the White Dragon River and pulled hard.
• A mountain-sized phantom fisherman appeared behind the cultivator, and the heavens and earth where the river met the sea collapsed.

Liu Zhijian helped hold back the sea at the White Dragon River and accidentally brought the Dong Household’s Dragon-Rearing Secret Realm into the present world. After giving its Ancient Zhi River spirit back to Dong Fengming, he left Little Dragon Mountain for Supreme Mystery Mountain.
