Chen Feng visited Lin Wei’s research institute and learned about her Consciousness Transplantation technology, which placed a dog’s soul in a robotic body using a Crystal Core. After discussing its limits and the possibility of human trials, he spent the night eating and drinking with Lin Wei and Li Xiaorou before leaving to cultivate.

• Lin Wei showed Chen Feng a robotic dog controlled by a dog’s soul stored in a Crystal Core and explained her Consciousness Transplantation research.
• Lin Wei described the technology’s limitations, including the soul’s gradual dissipation and the ethical question of whether a bodiless consciousness remained human, and Chen Feng supported further research and human trials.
• Chen Feng agreed to provide Lin Wei with more Crystal Cores, then invited Lin Wei to call Li Xiaorou so they could eat together before his departure.
• Chen Feng, Lin Wei, and Li Xiaorou ate barbecue in Shan State, where Li Xiaorou promised to watch over the Golden Triangle while Chen Feng was away.
• After drinking together until early morning, Lin Wei hugged Chen Feng and asked him to avoid danger, and Chen Feng vanished as Lin Wei took the drunk Li Xiaorou away.

Ten years after the Xingfeng Sect armed Canglan Star’s factions against an impending invasion, Liu Qian and Wang Hu learned that Zhengjiao was undergoing a Spirit Transformation tribulation in the Great Forest. When factions from other regions tried to reach the Outer Sea to observe it, Ge Yunxuan arrived with a fleet and ordered them to leave or face the Xingfeng Sect.

• Over ten years, the Xingfeng Sect sold firearms and heavy weapons to factions across Canglan Star while preparing for the invasion, and Liu Qian negotiated another ten-percent discount on an arms order.
• Wang Hu returned with his daughter Wang Fengnuo to collect supplies for the new cultivator city, and Liu Qian told him that Chen Feng had been in seclusion without sending news for three years.
• A thunderous boom drew Liu Qian, Wang Hu, and Wang Fengnuo to the Great Forest, where Yinyin confirmed that Zhengjiao was undergoing a Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation.
• Ge Yunxuan told Liu Qian that cultivators from other regions were heading toward the Outer Sea, and Liu Qian ordered him to block entry and place the space-based weapons on combat alert.
• At the Storm Sea Region entrance, Xingfeng Sect deacon Fan Long refused to let visiting factions pass, and Ge Yunxuan arrived with hundreds of Aerospace Carriers and threatened to leave none of them standing if they did not depart within ten breaths.

Ge Yunxuan drove away cultivators who tried to approach the Outer Sea, while Zhengjiao endured his tribulation and successfully advanced to Spirit Transformation. As Zhengjiao proposed a grand ceremony, the sky over all of Canglan Star turned blood red, and Lu Linyuan recognized the arrival of Heavenly Punishment.

• Ge Yunxuan warned the gathered cultivators to leave the Outer Sea, then used space-based weapons to kill Cao Xian and more than a dozen others when they stayed past the deadline.
• Ge Yunxuan told Fan Long that Senior Zhengjiao was undergoing the Spirit Transformation Lightning Tribulation, and Xingfeng Sect members discussed the breakthrough in their group chat.
• After three days of thunder, Zhengjiao completed his tribulation, gathered Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and revealed his enormous golden Primordial Spirit before returning to his true form.
• Zhengjiao told Liu Qian to arrange a Spirit Transformation Grand Ceremony, but Liu Qian explained that the sect master had predicted Chen Feng could attempt Spirit Transformation much sooner than Zhengjiao expected.
• The sky across Canglan Star turned blood red under a terrifying pressure, and Lu Linyuan identified it as Heavenly Punishment, which he believed only appeared when a Void Refinement cultivator advanced.

Lu Linyuan realized Chen Feng’s breakthrough had drawn Void Refinement Heavenly Punishment and set out to protect him from powerful outsiders. As the Heavenly Punishment vanished near Canglan Star, Old Devil Qiao and other Void Refinement cultivators discovered the star lay beyond the Star Domain Grand Array, and Qiao headed there to investigate.

• Lu Linyuan learned from Leng Cangqiong that the Heavenly Punishment was not his, then concluded Chen Feng’s Stars Body-Refining Instruction had caused it and told Youluan to warn the Xingfeng Sect.
• Lu Linyuan left to watch over Chen Feng, while Youluan and Nangong Wentian stayed behind to guard Canglan Star.
• Void Refinement cultivators gathered around the forming sea of lightning, where Jiang Henian and Old Devil Qiao recognized each other and discussed the unknown cultivator undergoing tribulation.
• The sea of lightning traveled toward Canglan Star, then disappeared; Old Devil Qiao reasoned that the cultivator had either left the star domain or died.
• Jiang Henian identified Canglan Star as the sea’s destination and noted it lay beyond the Star Domain Grand Array; Old Devil Qiao disregarded the Star Palace’s restriction and flew toward it.

Old Devil Qiao arrived at Canglan Star to investigate the Heavenly Punishment and unleashed his Divine Sense across the planet, killing many mortals. When he sensed an immortal treasure inside a pavilion at the Xingfeng Sect, he realized his trip had uncovered something far more valuable than he expected.

• Jiang Henian decided not to investigate the vanished Heavenly Punishment, and the cultivators dispersed rather than leave the Star Domain Grand Array’s protection.
• Hong Lu and other Void Spirit Race cultivators emerged through starry sky vortices, killed the Golden Core guards, and began preparing an invasion of the Weiyang Star Domain.
• Priest Jiang relayed the High Priest’s warning that Heavenly Punishment had appeared outside the grand protective array, so Hong Lu set out with Kong Ling and Priest Jiang to investigate.
• Old Devil Qiao appeared before Lu Linyuan, sealed him in place, and swept Canglan Star with his Divine Sense, killing mortals across much of the planet.
• Zhengjiao protected the Xingfeng Sect with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and flew out to interrupt Old Devil Qiao’s probing of the Northern Border.
• Old Devil Qiao sensed an immortal treasure inside a pavilion in the Xingfeng Sect’s rear courtyard and rejoiced at his discovery.

Chen Feng faced a Solar System Lightning Tribulation in space, while its red clouds alarmed people across Earth and the Jack Security Company announced they were harmless. After enduring more than two hundred bolts, Chen Feng found the relentless barrage was beginning to overwhelm him.

• Chen Feng left Lin Wei and flew between Earth and the moon to face the forming tribulation, then shattered the first red lightning bolt with a punch.
• The tribulation clouds expanded and unleashed a lightning dragon and a combined barrage that engulfed Chen Feng, helping temper his body.
• People across the Northern Hemisphere saw the red clouds, and Dragon Country experts investigated before the Jack Security Company said the phenomenon came from an experiment and was harmless.
• Xiao Ning recognized the clouds as a Heavenly Tribulation, told Yang Fuqiang it might be Chen Feng or Lin Wei facing it, and sent Zhou Chen and two cultivators to patrol the spatial rift.
• After enduring more than two hundred lightning bolts, Chen Feng became charred and cracked, began circulating Star Energy, and realized the tribulation could kill him through sheer numbers.

Chen Feng endured a three-day lightning tribulation in space, using Star Energy to temper his Primordial Spirit and body until the tribulation ended. He survived as a Half-Step Spirit Transformation cultivator and set out for the Heavenly Illusion Pool to prepare for the Heart Demon Tribulation.

• Chen Feng absorbed Star Energy from the Moon while enduring repeated lightning strikes, and his Primordial Spirit grew stronger and changed to a starlight color.
• Lin Wei, Harvey, and Jack watched from an Aerospace Carrier as a river of starlight flowed toward Chen Feng; Lin Wei ordered them to move away, while people on Earth observed the phenomenon for three days.
• The lightning tribulation ended, leaving spatial rifts across a vast area, and Chen Feng discovered that his Primordial Spirit had surpassed the level of an Early Spirit Transformation cultivator.
• Chen Feng realized that the Stars Body-Refining Instruction required the lightning and Star Energy to refine his Primordial Spirit, and that his Nascent Soul could contain it for no more than a month.
• Chen Feng left the tribulation site, told Lin Wei he still had to undergo the Heart Demon Tribulation, and vanished to head for the Heavenly Illusion Pool.

After returning from ten years of seclusion, Chen Feng tested his newly strengthened body by fighting Zhengjiao, who had recently advanced to Spirit Transformation, and easily defeated him. He then learned that Yinyin had fallen unconscious again and began investigating whether her condition was connected to the Void Refinement cultivator drawn to Canglan Star during Chen Feng’s Lightning Tribulation.

• Chen Feng sensed the golden spiritual rain and learned from Ge Yunxuan that Zhengjiao had fought a Void Refinement cultivator in the starry sky.
• Chen Feng challenged Zhengjiao to a fight using only his physical strength and overwhelmed him, resisting both his attacks and his Soul Devouring Divine Ability.
• Haili, Ge Yunxuan, and He Menghan arrived, and Haili told Chen Feng that Yinyin had fallen unconscious again.
• Liu Qian told Chen Feng that a red phenomenon had appeared over Canglan Star when the Void Refinement cultivator’s Divine Sense arrived, and said Zhengjiao had seen Lu Linyuan in the starry sky.
• Chen Feng realized the red phenomenon had coincided with his Lightning Tribulation and wondered why it had attracted a Void Refinement cultivator.

Chen Feng lived an entire mortal life in the Heavenly Illusion Pool, awakening with a stronger state of mind before entering another illusion. Meanwhile, the Cultivation Alliance mobilized Canglan Star to reinforce its Star-Protecting Grand Formation and resist the Void Spirit Race, and Ge Yunxuan led a Xingfeng Sect fleet toward the Alliance with orders to reject unfavorable demands.

• Chen Feng traveled to Jiayuan City, passed the provincial examination, and returned to Azure Ox Village as a juren.
• Chen Feng declined the metropolitan examination, entered local government, and rose to become governor of Southern Commandery before marrying Qin Wanning, the Duke of Qin's daughter.
• Chen Feng advanced to minister and then chancellor, endured a demotion during a succession struggle, and later retired to Azure Ox Village, where he and Qin Wanning eventually died.
• Chen Feng awakened in the Heavenly Illusion Pool after experiencing seventy years as a mortal and chose to enter another illusion rather than attempt the Heart Demon Tribulation.
• The Cultivation Alliance summoned Canglan Star's formation masters to reinforce the Star-Protecting Grand Formation as cultivators gathered to fight the Void Spirit Race.
• Ge Yunxuan led a hundred Xingfeng Sect warships toward the Cultivation Alliance and told Zhang Jin they would refuse any arrangements unfavorable to the sect.

As the Void Spirit Race’s deadline expired, Canglan Star’s factions gathered to defend the star while awaiting reinforcements from the Star Palace. The first Void Spirit fleet arrived, and as Elder Jin faced Huo Fan, Priest Jiang contacted Kong Ling, who warned that someone seemed to be watching her in the Northern Border.

• Ge Yunxuan brought Xingfeng Sect cultivators to the Cultivation Alliance meeting, where Leng Cangqiong explained that Star Palace reinforcements would take at least half a month to arrive.
• Ge Yunxuan said Chen Feng was in seclusion but would act if a crisis came, and he rebuffed a Demon God Hall expert who accused Chen Feng of avoiding the fight.
• Three days later, Leng Cangqiong, Elder Jin, and Elder Yin activated Canglan Star’s Star-Protecting Grand Formation as the Void Spirit Race’s fleet arrived.
• Huo Fan challenged Canglan Star’s cultivators, and Elder Jin left the formation to fight him while Elder Yin prepared to intervene if necessary.
• Priest Jiang contacted Kong Ling, who revealed that she suspected someone was watching her in the Northern Border.

Canglan Star’s factions wavered and began surrendering to the Void Spirit Race until Lu Linyuan arrived, exposed the enemy’s deception, and rallied the defenders into battle. As the two sides’ Spirit Transformation cultivators clashed elsewhere, Zhengjiao continued fleeing from Kong Ling toward the Heavenly Fox Clan, hoping to find Chen Feng.

• Hei Ming promised surrendered factions they could keep their homes and organizations, prompting the Heaven-Supporting Alliance and more than twenty other factions to join the Void Spirit Race.
• Ge Yunxuan refused to surrender on behalf of the Xingfeng Sect and ordered Zhang Jin to prepare its nuclear missiles in case the battle turned against them.
• Lu Linyuan arrived with Nangong Wentian and another cultivator, rebuked the wavering leaders, and used the Space Principle to force Huo Fan back.
• Lu Linyuan called on Canglan Star’s cultivators to fight, and they rallied behind him as the Spirit Transformation cultivators on both sides vanished to battle elsewhere.
• Kong Ling pursued the wounded Zhengjiao, who changed course toward the Heavenly Fox Clan and hoped to find Chen Feng.

Kong Ling pursued Zhengjiao to the Heavenly Fox Clan’s secret grounds, where Xingfeng Sect’s space-based weapons forced her to stop. As Chen Feng began breaking through to Spirit Transformation, an enormous Primordial Spirit formed from Canglan Star’s Star Energy, leaving Kong Ling and Zhengjiao stunned.

• Kong Ling told Priest Jiang that Xingfeng Sect’s space-based weapons were powerful enough to threaten even Spirit Transformation cultivators, while Priest Jiang reported that Lu Linyuan had disrupted the Void Spirit Race’s plans.
• Kong Ling chased Zhengjiao to the Heavenly Fox Clan’s secret grounds, but a barrage of space-based weapons shattered her defensive screen and drove her back.
• Zhengjiao told Kong Ling that Chen of the Northern Territory was an ancient immortal’s reincarnation, but Kong Ling dismissed the claim and attacked with her Glazed Glass Realm.
• Starlight erupted from within the formation before Kong Ling and Zhengjiao could fight, and Chen Feng’s breakthrough drew Star Energy from across Canglan Star.
• A colossal Primordial Spirit began taking shape in the sky, formed from Star Energy and astonishing both Zhengjiao and the Late Spirit Transformation Kong Ling.
