After ascending to Golden Core True Lord, Wang An instructed the gathered cultivators to prepare a mass migration and advised his four disciples on their prospects for future advancement. He then assessed his cultivation path and gains before entering his expanded Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven, where his Yang Dao Foundations returned to his Purple Mansion.

• Wang An entered his Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven, which had expanded to a hundred thousand li across, and his five Yang Dao Foundations returned to his Purple Mansion.

Wang An used his Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven to nourish its barren lands and strengthen the Fire-Space Jujube Tree. He reshaped the spirit root around three spatial laws, leaving it stronger and beginning to form a spirit body, but bound to the grotto-heaven’s fate.

• Wang An activated the [Grotto-Heaven Sovereign] station, drawing in Great Void energy and transforming the Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven into a flourishing world.
• The [Fire-Space Jujube Tree] developed its third law, spatial creation, but Wang An realized its fire and spatial laws could not readily advance together.

• Wang An used golden shears to cut the tree’s fire-law source, then supplied spatial laws and Immortal Primordial Qi so it could develop the law of spatial ordering.
• Wang An infused the tree with Primordial True Ancestral Qi, causing it to turn deep blue, grow stronger, and produce a faint, illusory spirit-body light.

After opening Great Primordial Heaven, Wang An established a way to revive his Avatar while it cultivated outside the grotto-heaven. He then began upgrading his flying sword with high-tier Dharma metals, but paused before dismantling the intact Heavenly Gleam divine artifact.

• Lu Tianxin reported that the first planetary migration ship had transported the Solar System’s people and resources and was waiting for the remaining ships to be completed.

Wang An reforged the [Heavenly Gleam] into the spirit treasure flying sword [Ruin Slaughter], which became the first ancestral flying sword of the Great Dao of Primordial Qi. His Avatar was completed, and Wang An sent it to move the Netherworld Domain before the forbidden Divine Ability could erase it.

• Wang An dismantled the [Heavenly Gleam] and duplicated its [World-Shaking Lightning Light Dharma Metal] to forge a flying sword from four high-tier dharma metals.
• Wang An refined the sword twelve times while Purple Mansion cultivators began cultivating across the primordial continent and sowing the seeds of life.

• Wang An learned the sword’s Divine Abilities, [Shatter the Vacuum] and [Thousandfold Sword World], and named it [Ruin Slaughter].
• Wang An’s Avatar completed its cultivation synchronization, and he entrusted it with [Ruin Slaughter] to move the Netherworld Domain to the Black Iron Star Domain while his true body returned to cultivate.

Wang An relocated the Netherworld Domain and later escorted over a hundred billion humans toward the Black Iron Star Domain. When an abomination attacked the migration, his Avatar destroyed it with [Ruin Slaughter] and entered the grotto-heaven created by its destruction.

• Wang An used [Six Laws Heavenly River] to pull the Netherworld Domain out of the Solar System and toward the Black Iron Star Domain.
• Thirty years later, the Human Federation sent twelve planet-class migration ships carrying over a hundred billion humans toward their new home under Wang An's protection.
• An abomination born from [Clear Void Heaven] intercepted the migration and tried to devour Wang An and [Mysterious Simplicity Five True Great Origin Heaven].
• Wang An shielded the migrants from law pollution, while the Avatar used [Ruin Slaughter] to shatter the abomination's core and law, creating a medium-sized grotto-heaven.
• Wang An continued the migration, while the Avatar retrieved [Ruin Slaughter] and entered the newborn grotto-heaven, where lingering laws and sword intent produced strange phenomena.

• Wang An transformed the Netherworld Samsara Reincarnation Lotus into the Eighteen Netherworld Heavens and Earth Divine Tower of Decrees, the Myriad Manifestations Samsara Law-Nurturing Heavenly Disc of Creation, and the Life and Death Reincarnation Spirit-Life Earthly Register and Judgment Brush.

• Zhenkong Gaoyang, Shaweiqi, Chenshui, Huayin Jiaoyue, Jiuli Bingjian, Shennong Yinmu, Sword Emperor Jiuli, and other Bronze Humans arrived by warship at the new Solar System for a celebration.

As guests gathered in the new Solar System to celebrate Wang An’s rise to High Tier, Sword Emperor Jiuli reflected on his rapid advancement and the new sword-dao sanctuary he had created. The celebration began with Qingshang True King presenting Wang An with a rare High Tier spirit soil, and Wang An welcomed him into his cultivation ground.

• Wang An thanked [Qingshang True King], opened a gateway to his Jade Earth Heavenly Palace, and welcomed him inside for the banquet.

Wang An hosted a ceremony in the Heavenly River Dao Palace, welcoming high-grade representatives from the Silver Human Race, Gold Human Race, and Elf Race. After revealing how Primordial True Ancestral Qi could accelerate spirit-root advancement, he agreed to let the guests exchange for it, leaving them eager to negotiate.

• Wang An agreed that the guests could exchange for Primordial True Ancestral Qi, and they resolved to obtain at least one strand each.

Wang An set the terms for exchanging grotto-heavens for primordial true ancestral qi and allocated trading shares among four civilizations. The agreement tied their interests together, allowed screened humanoid civilizations to participate, and secured resources and cultivation gains for Wang An.

• Wang An offered one strand of primordial true ancestral qi for two medium-sized grotto-heavens and an unrecorded high-tier five-element resource, or two strands for one large grotto-heaven.
• The Eternal Dharma King agreed to trade the Gold Human Race's unused grotto-heavens, and Wang An required their origins to retain at least their initial strength.
• After the Queen of a Hundred Flowers asked about the Elf Race's terms, Wang An proposed processing ten medium-sized grotto-heavens per hundred years.
• Wang An allocated ten percent of the shares to the Bronze Human Race, twenty percent to the Silver Human Race, thirty percent each to the Gold Human Race and the Elf Race, and ten percent to other civilizations.
• The representatives accepted the arrangement, and Wang An confirmed that other humanoid civilizations could trade after his review.
• Wang An secured a profit of roughly half a strand of primordial true ancestral qi and a high-tier five-element resource per standard exchange, alongside opportunities to comprehend laws while processing grotto-heavens.

Wang An and the other High Tier experts exchanged insights about their laws, then discussed the cultivation paths beyond the High Tier and the difficulty of reaching the Transcendent Tier. The Eternal Dharma King explained his unusual condition and outlined the risks and benefits of the main cultivation methods, while praising Wang An’s foresight with the Five Elements Law.

• Wang An and the other experts discussed their laws, sharing insights into the Five Elements, edification, nature, gold, and the Dao within flowers and spirits.

• The Eternal Dharma King revealed that only five of roughly twelve hundred recorded attempts to reach the Transcendent Tier had succeeded.
• The Eternal Dharma King described how High Tier experts cultivated three laws, either using inherited law authorities or elevating branch laws, and explained the risks of both approaches.
• The Eternal Dharma King said Wang An’s shallow accumulation in each of the Five Elements showed unusual foresight and fit a broad path toward cultivation.

After discussing the dangers of inheriting predecessors’ law authority, Wang An guided Lu Tianxin toward a path to prove her Dao and examined the High Tier resources sent as gifts. Lu Tianxin chose to pursue a water-element attainment position, while Wang An began using the gifts to strengthen his Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven.

• The Light-Riding Ritual Master and the Queen of a Hundred Flowers explained how predecessor contamination caused many High Tier successors to fall dormant, and Wang An connected this to the Dinosaur Clan’s absence from the last great battle.

With the Heavenly River renamed and the Palace strengthened, he received twenty medium-sized grotto-heavens and welcomed the True Forging Patriarch King into the exchange.

• Wang An refined two portions of High Tier dharma water into the Six Laws Heavenly River and two dharma materials into the Ningchen Heavenly Palace, spending five strands of Primordial True Ancestral Qi.

The spirit was reborn as Wang He, who grew up without cultivation knowledge and began studying transcendent subjects at Jiaomu University.

At Transcendent University, Wang He learned about the Federation’s cultivation systems and obtained a basic Qi Refining art, which he adapted to his pursuit of yin and yang. Back in his sky-garden dormitory, he modified the True Talisman of Qi Observation, Gathering and Refining, but its yin and yang principles split into opposing runes that he could only temporarily bind together.

• A young teacher introduced the students to the Federation’s Transcendent Systems and explained that Innate Life Primordial Qi was the source of their energies.
• Wang He applied for and studied the Five Elements Qi Refining Art, deciding to use it as a reference rather than follow it unchanged.
• Wang He memorized and visualized the True Talisman of Qi Observation, Gathering and Refining, forming a preliminary version faster than his classmates.
• Wang He returned to his sky-garden dormitory and decided to modify the cultivation art before beginning cultivation.
• Wang He added a trace of yin-yang principles to the talisman, causing it to split into hot and cold runic patterns, then used his spiritual power to bind them temporarily.

• Wang He refined Innate Greater Yang Ascending Supreme Flame Mystic Qi, then continued until he formed Innate Greater Yang Bright Light Generating Mystic Qi.
• Wang He gathered Supreme Yin qi under the moon and refined Innate Supreme Yin Moonlight Concealing Mystic Qi, keeping it apart from his yang qi because the two threatened to erupt when they touched.

• Over three days, Wang He refined six kinds of yin- and yang-attributed Mystic Qi: shaoyang, taiyang, yangming, jueyin, taiyin, and shaoyin.
• Wang He linked the six strands, which circulated and merged into the Innate Yin-Yang Motion and Stillness Six True Mystic Qi.

• Wang He refined Heaven and Earth primordial qi into the three qi of the Qi Refining Realm and reached its First Layer.
• Wang He went to the Qi Gathering Tower to register and met Xiao Huoyu and Lu Lingxian, who disagreed over whether his cultivation followed the Solar or Supreme Yin path.
• Wang He revealed his yin-yang fire True Qi, and the Azure Dragon classified it as a fire attribute while warning him that no cultivator on that path had attained a Dao Foundation.
• Wang He accepted the warning but maintained his choice, and the registration teachers assigned him to the Fire College.
• Xiao Huoyu and Lu Lingxian introduced themselves to Wang He, and he gave them an evasive account of how he refined his Mystic Qi.
• Wang He, Xiao Huoyu, and Lu Lingxian went to the Fire College and saw students dueling with flame spells in the combat plaza.
