• Li Jing's energy avatar used nearly all its reserves to defeat Blood God Ba Qi, Qi Niu, and the Blood God Guard with a powerful blade strike.

• Tian Yu King recalled that Venerable Zi Yu had ordered him to treat Li Jing even more respectfully than he treated his teacher.

• Tian Yu King arranged for the Demon Sound trial to open and gave Li Jing a Red Token that reacted to natives' Black Tokens.

• Li Jing entered Demon Sound Mountain with the natives and received more than six thousand Black Tokens along with intelligence from them.
• Li Jing failed to find the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance, then recognized Molo and thought he could serve as a living map.

• Li Jing slashed Molo into a mist of blood with Star Tempering.

Li Jing entered the Demon Sound Divine General's inheritance and used Comprehension-Type Experience Cards to rapidly raise his Soul Amplitude. He reached the 5,800th step, where the cards became less effective, leaving him uncertain whether he could claim the second-stage reward.

• Li Jing continued climbing, but at the 5,800th step his Universe Level Comprehension-Type Experience Cards became much less effective.

Li Jing exploited a loophole in the Inheritance Staircase to claim the second-stage rewards, including the Azure Evolution Spirit Crystal, and raised his Soul Amplitude to 67-fold. After failing to steal the third-stage reward, he left the Inheritance Land and decided to leave Demon Mountain to break through to Domain Lord Level.

• Li Jing sent an avatar up to the 6,666th step, took the second-stage rewards, and returned safely to his true body.
• Li Jing absorbed the Azure Evolution Spirit Crystal, which more than doubled his soul origin, and put away the King-level Immortal divine weapon.
• Li Jing cultivated for half a month and reached the 6,700th step, stopping with a 67-fold Soul Amplitude rather than spending years pushing further.
• Li Jing tried to use an avatar to claim the third-stage reward, but the Inheritance Land expelled both his true body and avatar.
• Li Jing decided to leave Demon Mountain and break through to Domain Lord Level, dismissing the trial mission's remaining reward and requirements.
