After the Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven expanded, its enormous black tree gave birth to Huanjing’s Space Transformation fruition, making her a Divine Lord and establishing space transformation throughout the grotto-heaven. Wang An arrived after her ascension, accepted her as his disciple, and discussed how her new path suited her nature as a spiritual root spirit cultivator.

• The enormous black tree absorbed the void’s spatial storms and expanded the Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven as Huanjing’s spiritual root fused spatial laws and formed the Space Transformation fruition.
• Huanjing manifested a complete body, declared herself Divine Lord, and established the Dao of Space Transformation, causing new qi, secret lands, realms, and spatial materials to arise within the grotto-heaven.

• Wang An appeared beside Huanjing after her ascension, and she asked to become his disciple; he agreed, binding their karma and Qi Destiny.

• Wang He spoke with Xiao Huoyu and Lu Lingxian about their cultivation and the company's progress, then returned to his cultivation chamber.
• Wang He reviewed his cultivation at Qi Refining Perfection and studied the principle runes on his qi seed.

Wang He struggled to decide whether to follow seasonal cycles or devise a new theory of Yin and Yang, so he sent his ideas to Wang An. Wang An tested both approaches in two shattered worlds, leaving one to recover through Yin and Yang cycles and the other to produce an intelligent spirit flower.

• Wang He condensed his vague understanding of Yin and Yang into principles of opening, closing, pivoting, the Six Origins and Manifestations, and the Supreme Ultimate, then asked his original body to resolve his uncertainty.
• Wang An used his experience destroying grotto-heavens to create two experiments in shattered worlds: one following the seasons and solar terms, the other following the first emergence and circulation of Yin and Yang.
• Wang An accelerated the worlds’ cycles with Five Elements vital Qi, causing widespread death as plants and animals adapted, evolved, and developed distinct ways to survive.
• As Wang An withdrew his protection and Primordial Qi, the creation world continued recovering while its inhabitants grew and hid according to the Yin and Yang cycles.
• In the seasonal world, creatures fought over dwindling resources until a tyrant spirit flower absorbed their vitality and formed a spirit-body cultivator at the First Layer of Qi Refining.

Wang He chose creation energy as the foundation for his Yin and Yang Dao and forged a star-cluster artifact that could generate Yin and Yang and consume matter. He named it the Two Aspects Star Wheel and declared it the first artifact of the Dao of Yin and Yang, with the potential to advance beyond a Dharma artifact.

He ordered a specially customized interstellar ship, and six months later boarded it at Horn City’s spaceport to prepare for his attempt.

• Wang He refined the Two Aspects Star Wheel into a Life-Bound Dharma Artifact and reviewed Jade Rabbit’s list of locations where Yin and Yang were in harmony.

• Six months later, Wang He arrived at Horn City’s spaceport with Xiao Huoyu and Lu Lingxian to inspect the completed ship.
• After the ship passed inspection, Wang He said goodbye to Xiao Huoyu and Lu Lingxian and boarded the disc-shaped vessel.

Wang He began his Dao Foundation breakthrough in a ship positioned between the star and the moon, using a Formation Domain and the Two Aspects Star Wheel to absorb their Yin and Yang imagery. As his Qi, talisman, and star wheel transformed into a nascent Dao Foundation, the star wheel remained unsatisfied.

• Wang He piloted his ship from Horn Wood Star to a point between the star and moon where Yin and Yang were balanced.

• An observer at the orbital spaceport registered a Dao Foundation breakthrough, while Chen Yanxia and the president of Jiaomu University chose to watch Wang He without interfering.
• Wang He used the Two Aspects Star Wheel to absorb and separate twelve forms of Yin and Yang imagery, then swallowed a pill and formed the imagery of vitality's withering and flourishing.
• Wang He shaped his shadow into a Yin counterpart, deepened his control over it, and began transforming his Essence Qi, Spirit Qi, and Heaven-Observing Qi-Gathering Yin and Yang True Talisman as a Dao Foundation took shape.
• After consuming all the imagery and Heaven and Earth Qi the Formation Domain could draw in, the Two Aspects Star Wheel remained unsatisfied.

Wang He formed the first Yin and Yang Dao Foundation, named Yin and Yang Proof, and gained six innate mysteries as his Two Aspects Star Wheel evolved. After returning to Horn Wood Star, he announced his Daoist name, Tai Zheng, to the gathered leaders.

• Wang He’s qi seed sprouted as the Two Aspects Star Wheel absorbed Yin and Yang star energy, creating the Yin and Yang Proof Dao Foundation and six innate mysteries.
• Wang He spent two days comprehending the mysteries, refined the Two Aspects Star Wheel, and discovered it could naturally create Yin and Yang spirit objects.
• Wang He ordered Jade Rabbit to return to Horn Wood Star, noting that his breakthrough may have alarmed many people.

Wang He secured nominal-disciple status in the Heavenly River Dao Lineage, an inspector post, and a leased continent on Shuhua Star. Three years later, after developing the Six-Element Divine Light, he moved Cultivation Spirit Source’s headquarters there and met Governor Zhongli Quan.

• Wang He told Yuan Qing he would avoid the central star region until reaching the Purple Mansion realm, and she made him a nominal disciple and offered him the Federation Star Region Inspector post.

• The group reached Yunhua, Cloud Radiance Continent’s highest peak and the site of the Cultivation Spirit Source earth vein, as Jade Rabbit began reporting on it.

Wang He inspected the Dao Foundation spiritual grounds on Cloud Radiance Peak and learned that Qi Refining demonic creatures had been harassing their guards. Using his [Ascending Yang Form], he exposed and killed the hidden beasts, leaving the spiritual grounds’ threat largely cleared.

• Wang He told his company executives to survey Cloud Radiance Continent and identify locations with Dao Foundation potential.
• Wang He visited a spiritual ground, where Captain Xiahou Zhen confirmed his identity and explained that Mountain-Piercing Earth-Burrowing Beasts and Illusory Feather Space-Melding Eagles had been harassing the guards.
