Beyond the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range, Chen Xun used the stones to create the Five Elements Sect’s exclusive immortal realm, the Time Void Realm, revealing that he had planned it for over a hundred thousand years.

• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox mocked the disciples and Chen Family members for leaving the mountain range without scouting, then discovered the disciples were still safely inside it.
• Chen Xun assigned the disciples to train outside, while he, Big Black Ox, and He Ling began clearing dangers, building formations, and connecting the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range to the Divine Mountain’s earth veins.

After five hundred years, He Ling, Cheng Yuan, and the mountain gods began the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range’s second ascension, linking its earth veins to the Divine Mountain Continent. Chen Xun and Big Black Ox celebrated as their home took root there and the Profound Heaven Tree sprouted fresh buds.

• The Profound Heaven Tree sprouted fresh buds, and Chen Xun and Big Black Ox excitedly celebrated its growth.

After the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range connected its earth veins to the Divine Mountain Continent, Chen Xun welcomed the transformation and cleared Cheng Yuan of their old grudges. As the range began expanding by consuming spiritual qi, Chen Xun ordered He Ling to oversee its growth and told the Big Black Ox to plant and chop trees.

• The earth-vein connection finished after seven days, transforming the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range and exhausting Cheng Yuan after six centuries of effort.
• Chen Xun recognized Cheng Yuan as one of his own, gave him Good Fruits to restore his immortal power, and Cheng Yuan left to recover and seek a breakthrough.

• Ke Ding told Chen Xun that he had calculated the continent’s vast territory in Yuan-years, leaving Chen Xun stunned.

• Ke Ding revealed that the Divine Mountain Continent was 1,200 yuan-years across and lacked gates, teleportation arrays, and other infrastructure.

Chen Xun and Gu Li Sheng set aside the Heavenly Palace’s construction to unite the Divine Mountain Continent’s earth veins, and the Jade Bamboo Earth Vein expanded across hundreds of millions of miles over a thousand years. It still showed no sign of stopping, while Gu Li Sheng, Burial Immortal, and Xia Lingchuan remained lost within the earth veins.

• Chen Xun recalled Gu Li Sheng and persuaded him to help fuse the earth veins before the True Immortal Realm was complete.
• Gu Li Sheng agreed to cooperate on the condition that one Divine Mountain Continent would hold the Heavenly Palace and serve as his dao field.

• Ji Zhao shattered his remaining Physical Shackles and reached Great Completion of the Rule Dao Body while advancing through the Divine Mountain’s pressure.

• Cheng Yuanxian worried that the two rising powers might eventually fight and weaken his race’s standing.

Chen Xun and Big Black Ox discussed the Divine Mountain’s body-tempering effects while Frog Daoist trained Little An Ning and restrained its appetite for Heavenly Foundation Stones. Heavenly Wheel Immortal returned with a strange golden liquid called Golden Liquid and began telling Chen Xun about his adventures and discoveries over the past thousand years.

• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox reflected on how the Divine Mountain’s Heavenly Foundation Stone could temper young cultivators’ bodies, though they could no longer start over themselves.

• Heavenly Wheel Immortal called the discovery a good thing and began recounting his experiences and fortuitous encounters from the past thousand years.

Chen Xun learned that the Golden Liquid in Golden Mountain Valley could heal Dao wounds, though it was too dangerous to use directly, and planned to refine it into pills for Qian Shan and Tian Li. After Heavenly Wheel Immortal warned that the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range lacked spiritual energy, Chen Xun revealed he wanted to use the Earth Wheel Great World to supply it.

• Heavenly Wheel Immortal told Chen Xun that Golden Mountain Valley's Golden Liquid had been tempered by the Heaven and Earth Battlefield and warned him not to refine or hollow out Divine Mountain Continent.

The Yu Family Third Ancestors discovered that Golden Liquid could help remold immortal bodies, and a hundred years later Cheng Yuan had built a vast furnace deep within the Jade Bamboo Earth Vein.

• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox asked Heavenly Wheel Immortal to bestow spiritual qi across a vast area, and he agreed to protect the Jade Bamboo Mountain Range after Chen Xun offered Good Fruits and the sect’s foundation.

• Over the next hundred years, the Five Elements Sect Disciples traveled across the silver earth beyond the mountains, while Cheng Yuan built a colossal furnace powered by the Jade Bamboo Earth Vein.

Cheng Yuan struggled to forge a Heavenly Foundation Daoist Robe while the Yu Family Third Ancestors revealed that Golden Liquid could create a Nine Twists Eight Trigrams Dao Body and elevate spirit roots, though its danger made it unusable by most younger cultivators. The Yu Family immortals joined Chen Xun’s earth-vein expansion, and the chapter ended with ten thousand years passing as the Divine Mountain Continent was reshaped.

• Cheng Yuan melted Heavenly Foundation Stones to forge a Daoist robe, but his techniques failed and he began developing new ones.
• The Yu Family Third Ancestor emerged from seclusion, and Chen Xun and Big Black Ox congratulated the Yu Family immortals on recovering with Golden Liquid.
• The Yu Family Third Ancestors explained that Golden Liquid could form a Nine Twists Eight Trigrams Dao Body and raise innate spirit roots, but its tearing force made it deadly to those without powerful bodies.
• Chen Xun concluded that body refinement was the only way to make Golden Liquid accessible to younger cultivators, and the Yu Family Third Ancestors offered their help with the mountain range.
• Three days later, the Yu Family Third Ancestors joined the earth-vein expansion, and ten thousand years passed as the immortals transformed the Divine Mountain Continent.

Over ten thousand years, Chen Xun and Big Black Ox restored the Heavenly Origin Star and connected Jade Bamboo Mountain Range to the Divine Mountain Continent’s earth veins. After the exhausted immortals gathered to celebrate, Chen Xun and Gu Li Sheng left to go fishing while Big Black Ox slept.

• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox raised the Heavenly Origin Star to nearly a light-year across, and its ascent drained the continent’s Five Elements Qi before it began nourishing the land.
• Ke Ding questioned Chen Xun about his Five Elements cultivation, so Chen Xun beat the Second Tribulation Immortal unconscious for several years.

• Chen Xun called the Heavenly Wheel Immortal away from his mountain to fish in the East Sea, and the immortal accepted while grumbling.
• Cheng Yuanxian completed Heavenly Foundation Daoist Robes and built shipyards and Heavenly Foundation Law Ships across the silver land.
• Chen Xun became so excited by the Law Ships that he could not meditate for days, then inscribed the first ship with the name Divine Mountain.

Cheng Yuan launched three Heavenly Foundation Law Ships carrying the Five Elements Sect’s disciples into the Divine Mountain Continent, entrusting the younger generation with exploring the True Immortal Realm. At the East Sea, Chen Xun clarified that the Five Elements Immortal Sect would remain independent and revealed that the juniors were headed to Golden Valley, provoking Heavenly Wheel Immortal’s furious demand for its inheritance.

• Cheng Yuan launched three Heavenly Foundation Law Ships with more than ten thousand Five Elements Sect Disciples aboard and urged them to explore the Divine Mountain Continent in place of the older immortals.
