Six months later, Chen Xun and his companions returned to Garbage Island after arranging their new home and sending a secure shipment through the Heavenly Sound Pavilion.

After returning to Garbage Island, Chen Xun and his companions settled back into their routines, while Little Crane challenged Chen Xun’s ideas about ascension. On Barren Mountain, Gu Li Sheng boasted about buying Nine Heavens Peak, then revealed he had only a little over a thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and was attacked by Little Crimson and Song Heng.

• Chen Xun wondered whether cultivators could ascend, but Little Crane explained that the Great Age had no concept of ascension or an Immortal Realm.

• Song Heng and Little Crimson listened as Gu Li Sheng claimed he could buy Nine Heavens Peak for five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Gu Li Sheng admitted he had only a little over a thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, so Little Crimson and Song Heng attacked him on Barren Mountain.

Mo Fuyang advanced along the Five Elements Immortal Path while Chen Xun checked his progress and gave him further instructions. Chen Xun then told him that they had bought Spotless Immortal Ridge on Leaving Dust Island.

• Mo Fuyang cultivated the Five Elements Immortal Scripture and reached the early Golden Core Stage, though he still lacked a true Five Elements Spirit Root and could only neutralize, not decompose, enemy spells.
• Chen Xun visited Mo Fuyang, assessed his cultivation and lifespan, and explained that the Five Elements Immortal Path still had a long way to go.

• Chen Xun told Mo Fuyang that they had bought Spotless Immortal Ridge, one of Leaving Dust Island's three great Cultivation Holy Lands, and Mo Fuyang was delighted for them.

• A colossal dragon emerged from the thunderclouds as voices proclaimed that Old Servant Ten Million and the Old Servant Generals paid respects to Young Master.

Gu Li Sheng appeared as the phantom behind the Heavenly Dragon and Earthly Tiger, then erased a Refining Void woman and all memory of her with a single strike. Song Heng tried to clean up the battlefield and make everyone forget, but Mo Fuyang remained standing as a Big Black Coffin emerged beneath the spirit vein.

• The Heavenly Dragon and Two-Winged White Tiger emerged from the transformed sea and revealed that they served Gu Li Sheng as their Young Master.

• Song Heng merged the Treasure Hunting Compass with the gateway to make everyone forget the battle, but Mo Fuyang remained unaffected.
• A Big Black Coffin rose from beneath the spirit vein and suppressed Song Heng's gateway as it began to open.
