Lin Yunji decided to capture Chang Yanzi’s corpse monster and test whether it could regain intelligence, despite Jiu Lu’s fears.

Lin Yunji and the others returned to the Great Fault, where Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun revealed a Heaven-Stealing Rat they had found in an old Supreme's Daoist sanctuary.

Lin Yunji examined the treasures Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi found with the Heaven-Stealing Rat and identified an undamaged Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, which he agreed to safeguard for them. After waiting fifty thousand years at the Great Fault, Lin Yunji wondered how to advance his Great Dao cultivation and break through the fourth level of the Universe Furnace Cultivation Method.

• Shi Mang released the Heaven-Stealing Rat, and Zhen Yuanzi comforted the frightened creature.
• Hongyun revealed more than a hundred artifacts the Heaven-Stealing Rat had helped them find, and Lin Yunji used the Heaven-Monitoring Hall to identify their grades.

• Lin Yunji praised the others for leaving the dangerous Ancient Realm after finding their gains, then checked through the Heaven-Monitoring Hall and confirmed that Cult Master Tongtian was safe.
• Lin Yunji and the others cultivated and waited at the Great Fault for fifty thousand years; Lin Yunji then struggled to find a way to advance his Great Dao cultivation and the Universe Furnace Cultivation Method.

Lin Yunji discovered that refining his body inside the Universe Furnace could break the limit on his strength, while Old Daoist Bailou returned from the Ancient Realm with a flower garden entrusted to him by a Supreme’s undying thought. The garden held one of the few surviving pockets of life in the Ancient Realm Ruins.

• Lin Yunji used the Universe Furnace to temper his physical body and found that it had grown slightly stronger, giving him a path to advance beyond Supreme Primordial Unity.

• Old Daoist Bailou showed Lin Yunji a small world filled with countless immortal flowers and spirit herbs, many of which had formed spirits.

Old Daoist Bailou decided to return to his ancestral land, tend the Flower Venerable’s garden, and let go of his obsession with cultivation.

• Old Daoist Bailou told Lin Yunji he would protect the flower garden and establish a Daoist sanctuary in his ancestral land.
• Lin Yunji said most people had returned, but Houtu, the Changxi sisters, and his master and martial uncle were still missing.
