• A beam from the aerospace carrier enveloped Emperor Lin, and Yi Xuan ordered Xing Qi to flee.
• Emperor Lin examined the beam and accused Yi Xuan of killing Hai Qing Song, so Yi Xuan unleashed an even more powerful pillar of light.
• A huge black shadow swallowed Xing Qi, and Yi Xuan brought him to a strange space where they watched the attack continue to blaze around Emperor Lin.

Yi Xuan’s laser and the helicarrier’s shield failed to stop Emperor Lin, so he armed a mushroom bomb and waited for the attacker to enter the vessel. As Emperor Lin broke into the helicarrier, Yi Xuan ordered No. 01 to detonate the bomb.

• Yi Xuan learned that the laser had not harmed Emperor Lin, and Emperor Lin’s first strike disabled the helicarrier’s optical stealth.

• Emperor Lin followed them despite the rapid loss of True Essence at high altitude, defying No. 01’s one-in-ten-thousand prediction.
• Yi Xuan activated a missile that pursued Emperor Lin, forcing him to dive into the Eternal Sea; Yi Xuan then saw a smaller mushroom cloud rise below.

After Emperor Lin fled the nuclear attack, Yi Xuan and Xing Qi mourned the destruction of North Wave City and East Yan City and regrouped on an island. Once they learned Emperor Lin’s identity and strength, Yi Xuan proposed building Xing Qi a city in the modified trench.

Yi Xuan decided to build a city in the Eternal Sea as a base for acquiring materials, conducting research, and preparing for the Tomb of the Sea God, while Xing Qi searched for a suitable site. As Yi Xuan monitored the nuclear blast zone, a mysterious old man crossed its radiation field and suddenly appeared behind him.

• Yi Xuan concluded that a city for humans and the Sea Clan would support his research and future plans, and Xing Qi continued searching for a location.
• Yi Xuan focused on rebuilding the undersea mechanical army so he and Xing Qi could carry out their city plans.
• No. 01 alerted Yi Xuan that an old man had entered the nuclear blast’s radiation zone, where he moved a kilometer with each step.
• Yi Xuan saw that radiation was absent within ten meters of the old man and wondered whether a force field or an object was shielding him.
• The old man suddenly spoke behind Yi Xuan, and No. 01 warned him as the old man vanished from the surveillance footage.

Yi Xuan met a mysterious old man from the Mystic Gate, who confirmed the man had not come to avenge Hai Qingshi and gave Yi Xuan an inheritance from the Artifact Sect of High Antiquity. The old man left before Yi Xuan learned his name, and No. 01 identified him as likely being a Loose Immortal.

• No. 01 detected both Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi in the old man, and Yi Xuan concluded he was likely a Loose Immortal.

Yi Xuan had No. 01 decode the old man's Jade Slip and discovered that it contained the Artifact Sect of High Antiquity's spaceship engine specifications, including technology powered by Immortal Qi that could reach one-tenth the speed of light and jump through space. A diary-like passage also suggested that the Azure Cloud Sect's Puppet Technique inheritance originated with the ancient sect, leaving Yi Xuan to realize how deeply he was connected to it.

• Yi Xuan had No. 01 spend ten hours converting and reading the Jade Slip's contents.
• No. 01 organized the Jade Slip's information and revealed the complete specifications and development process for a spaceship engine.
• Yi Xuan learned that the engine used Immortal Qi and could travel at one-tenth the speed of light and make jumps of about one light-year.
• No. 01 found a passage describing the Artifact Sect of High Antiquity's search for mechanical-puppet technology stolen by a defecting disciple.
• Yi Xuan connected that stolen technology to the Puppet Technique inheritance held by the Azure Cloud Sect and suspected it came from the Artifact Sect of High Antiquity.

Yi Xuan advanced his interstellar technology efforts and began researching Immortal Qi, while Emperor Lin emerged from seclusion still struggling to contain nuclear radiation in his body. The chapter left Emperor Lin concealing his weakened state, able to display only Mahayana Realm Perfection.

• Yi Xuan assigned No. 01 to analyze the Artifact Sect of High Antiquity's engine technology and sent his Good Corpse to oversee interstellar research at No. 2 Base.
• Yi Xuan began researching Immortal Qi and concluded that it could strongly suppress nuclear radiation, then arranged for more than a dozen wisps to be transported down from the space station.

Emperor Lin mourned Hai Yue and Qing Song and chose a new disciple to prepare for the Tomb of the Sea God. A year later, Yi Xuan’s Twin Cities were thriving, and his research on Immortal Qi had protected his underwater base from nuclear radiation; Starlink then detected Chu Longcheng, who vanished by passing through something in space.

• Emperor Lin asked his eldest disciple to choose a new candidate to train for the Tomb of the Sea God after Qing Song’s death.
• Over the next year, Xing Qi attracted Sea Clan residents to the Twin Cities, and the underwater city grew busy.
• Yi Xuan mastered using Immortal Qi to shield his underwater base from nuclear radiation and confined eight strands of Immortal Qi in a tower.
• No. 01 told Yi Xuan that Starlink had detected Chu Longcheng about one light-year away in footage from a year earlier.
• Yi Xuan watched Chu Longcheng reach into empty space and disappear as his hand, arm, and body passed through something.

Yi Xuan and his companions studied footage of Chu Longcheng vanishing during a spatial jump and concluded that an unknown creature had digested him. They feared the Cultivation Realm’s entire galaxy might lie inside the creature’s stomach, leaving Yi Xuan alarmed by what that could explain.

• No. 01 sent Yi Xuan clearer footage showing Chu Longcheng being forced out of his spatial jump before his body vanished.
• Yi Xuan gathered his Good Corpse and Evil Corpse to study the footage, and the Good Corpse noticed that Chu Longcheng’s body seemed to dissolve.
• Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that the footage looked like Chu Longcheng had been swallowed and digested by a creature.
• Yi Xuan and the two corpses reviewed the footage again, while No. 01 compared it with digestion, and they concluded that Chu Longcheng had been digested.
• Yi Xuan wondered whether the Cultivation Realm’s galaxy was inside the unknown creature and connected that possibility to the Artifact Sect and Mystic Gate’s actions.

Yi Xuan ordered probes built to investigate the place where Chu Longcheng disappeared, while he and his allies advanced their work across the Cultivation Realm. A year later, Yi Xuan, Liang Shi, and Niu Keli tested their new invention in the Eternal Sea as a gigantic shadow approached.

• Yi Xuan and the Good and Evil Corpse decided to build probes despite the long journey, and five probes departed the Cultivation Realm a month later.

Yi Xuan and his team brought their Semi-Mechanical Godzilla to the surface of the Eternal Sea and released a flood dragon to test its combat power. The chapter ended as the two enormous beasts collided and the flood dragon coiled around Godzilla.

• Yi Xuan checked that the brain-control chip, Arc Reactors, and life-form were stable before ordering close-combat mode.
• The Semi-Mechanical Godzilla rose from the sea, revealing its metallic, dinosaur-like body to Yi Xuan, Niu Keli, and Liang Shi.
• Yi Xuan ordered No. 01 to release the flood dragon, which had recovered from its injuries and been controlled by a brain chip.
• The flood dragon dismissed Godzilla and charged at it, while Godzilla roared and stood its ground.
• Godzilla and the flood dragon collided on the sea, sending huge waves outward, and the flood dragon coiled around Godzilla.

Godzilla broke free from the flood dragon's coils and survived its lightning-charged attacks before defeating it with a blast of blue energy. Yi Xuan and the others monitored Godzilla's stable condition as the battle ended with the flood dragon dead, never learning the name Atomic Breath.

• The flood dragon coiled around Godzilla, but Godzilla's strength forced it to release him.
• Niu Keli reported that two more of Godzilla's Arc Reactors had activated, while Liang Shi confirmed his vital signs were stable.
• Godzilla hurled the flood dragon onto the island, then endured its lightning strike and a devastating charge without injury.
• Godzilla swept the flood dragon into the air with his tail and chased it down when it tried to flee.
• Godzilla seized the flood dragon, unleashed blue energy from his mouth, and killed it with Atomic Breath.

Yi Xuan and his team tested Godzilla after he killed a flood dragon, while Liang Shi’s experiments repeatedly became food for the monster. When they discovered Godzilla had grown twenty meters in two months, Liang Shi revealed that his research had finally made progress, leaving Yi Xuan and Niu Keli to suspect his work was connected to Godzilla’s growth.

• Godzilla killed a flood dragon at Mahayana Realm Perfection with his Atomic Breath, using twelve Arc Reactors while leaving reserve reactors inactive.
• Yi Xuan, Liang Shi, and Niu Keli tested Godzilla near the undersea base and found that he thrived in the Eternal Sea’s radiation zone.
• Liang Shi’s team studied marine creatures’ resistance to radiation, but Godzilla repeatedly ate the test subjects and grew from about one hundred meters to nearly one hundred and twenty.
• Yi Xuan reviewed Godzilla’s growth records and found that he had gained nearly twenty meters during the previous two months.
• Liang Shi rushed to his laboratory and told Yi Xuan that his three-month research had made progress, pointing to Godzilla’s twenty-meter growth.

Yi Xuan discovered that Godzilla was absorbing the Arc Reactor and other devices inside his body, raising the risk that he would escape control. As Yi Xuan prepared to destroy him, Liang Shi found that Godzilla's newly formed energy conversion device still followed its original programming, suggesting the evolution remained controllable.

• Yi Xuan examined Godzilla with Liang Shi and Niu Keli after learning that Liang Shi's radiation-resistant organisms might have accelerated Godzilla's growth.
• Liang Shi noticed that Godzilla's flesh had enveloped an Arc Reactor and its energy conversion device, and Yi Xuan confirmed their controls were failing.
• Yi Xuan checked the brain-control chip and discovered that Godzilla's brain was beginning to absorb it too.
• Yi Xuan prepared to activate the self-destruct program, but Liang Shi asked him to wait and check the absorbed energy conversion device.
• No. 01 confirmed that the newly formed device still followed its original output program, leading Yi Xuan to conclude that Godzilla's evolution remained controllable.

Yi Xuan left his undersea research after learning that Fatty Lin had disappeared. Lin Er revealed that Fatty Lin had vanished after accepting a supposed Mystic Snow Pavilion invitation to a banquet in the Luoning Kingdom, and Yi Xuan suspected the incident was connected to his petroleum business.

• Yi Xuan continued monitoring Godzilla, implanted more microrobots, and arranged a contingency to destabilize its Arc Reactor if it went out of control.
• Yi Xuan ordered Liang Shi's team to cultivate radiation-resistant organisms as food for Godzilla, and after more than a month Godzilla remained stable while assimilating part of its brain-control chip.
• Cui Yan informed Yi Xuan that something had happened to Fatty Lin, so Yi Xuan left the Eternal Sea and returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Lin Er told Yi Xuan that Fatty Lin had gone missing after traveling to the Luoning Kingdom for a banquet supposedly arranged by a Mystic Snow Pavilion immortal.
• Lin Er explained that the Luoning Kingdom's imperial palace denied the invitation and that none of Fatty Lin's companions had returned; Yi Xuan suspected someone had targeted him over his petroleum business.

Yi Xuan investigated Fatty Lin’s disappearance and learned from Lin Jinbao that the oil business’s immense profits may have drawn the attention of cultivators. He flew to Luoning Kingdom with Shi Zhenghao to find Fatty Lin, while the kingdom’s emperor prepared to meet them.

• Yi Xuan visited the Lin residence and found Lin Jinbao managing the household and its businesses in good order.
• Lin Jinbao showed Yi Xuan the account books and argued that Fatty Lin’s oil business was connected to his disappearance.
• No. 01’s figures showed that the oil profits had grown enormously, reaching a scale that could attract powerful enemies.

Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao confronted Sun Li over Fatty Lin, whom Sun Li had lured to the palace after tracing the diesel business to him. When Sun Li's Spirit Transformation guard Sun Da attacked, Yi Xuan used Starlink to kill him instantly, leaving Sun Li shouting at his corpse.

• Yi Xuan demanded that Sun Li reveal where Fatty Lin was, while Sun Li tried to explain that he had invited him to the palace to make friends.
• The chapter revealed that Sun Li had discovered diesel a year earlier, recognized its business potential, and traced its source to Fatty Lin.
• Sun Da, Sun Li's Spirit Transformation guard, arrived and urged Sun Li to order an attack; Yi Xuan told No. 01 to track him but wait.
• Sun Li ordered Sun Da to kill Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao, and Sun Da reached for them.
• Yi Xuan activated Starlink, and Sun Da fell dead at his feet; Sun Li saw a thin bright line strike Sun Da and shouted at the corpse to get up.

Yi Xuan killed Sun Li after the empress revealed she knew where Fatty Lin was, while Shi Zhenghao warned him about Sun Li’s powerful family. Grand Elder Sun learned Sun Li had been searching for diesel near the Azure Cloud Sect and set out with Qian Yun to destroy the sect, leaving Shi Zhenghao hoping they could escape before their identities were discovered.

• Sun Li’s Soul Control Talisman Seal shattered, confirming Sun Da was dead, and Sun Li realized Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao had killed him.
• Sun Li invoked his grandfather, a peak Mahayana Realm expert, but Yi Xuan ignored the threat despite Shi Zhenghao’s warning about the Mystic Snow Pavilion.
• The empress told Yi Xuan she knew where Fatty Lin was, and Yi Xuan’s Black Tortoise palm crushed Sun Li before he could speak.
• The Sun Household discovered Sun Li’s soul lamp had gone out and told Grand Elder Sun that he had been investigating diesel and a boss surnamed Lin near the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Grand Elder Sun declared he would destroy the Azure Cloud Sect, and sect master Qian Yun gathered disciples to follow him.
• Shi Zhenghao feared Yi Xuan’s actions would bring the Mystic Snow Pavilion after them, but hoped they could leave before their identities were discovered.

Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao killed Sun Li and rescued the empress, then hurried to find Fatty Lin. They found him badly tortured in a secret chamber, where he tearfully assured Yi Xuan that he had revealed nothing.

• The Black Tortoise crushed Sun Li, avenging the empress, and Yi Xuan told her to get dressed while he and Shi Zhenghao waited outside.
• Shi Zhenghao dismissed the guards and flirted with the empress after she emerged dressed, but Yi Xuan urged them to find Fatty Lin.
• The empress revealed that another Mystic Snow Pavilion cultivator might be at the courtyard where Fatty Lin was held, and Shi Zhenghao flew there with her and Yi Xuan.
• Yi Xuan scanned the courtyard and found a Golden Core cultivator and another life-form underground, then the empress led them to the secret chamber.
• The Black Tortoise shattered the chamber door, and Yi Xuan found Fatty Lin tortured beside a corpse and gave him a healing pill.

After rescuing Fatty Lin, Yi Xuan learned that the Mystic Snow Pavilion had traced Sun Li’s death to the Azure Cloud Sect and hurried back with Shi Zhenghao. Two days later, a Mahayana expert shattered the sect’s grand array and accused the Azure Cloud Sect of killing his grandson.

• Yi Xuan healed Fatty Lin, then revealed that the Mystic Snow Pavilion was sending powerful forces toward the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Yi Xuan persuaded Shi Zhenghao to return with him, and they left aboard the Firmament with Fatty Lin.

• Supreme Elder Li summoned the sect’s disciples while the oldest supreme elder began preparing a countermeasure.
• The black figure declared that the Azure Cloud Sect had killed his grandson, and Xiao Anhe tried to stall him.

The Mystic Snow Pavilion surrounded the Azure Cloud Sect, and Grand Elder Sun prepared to attack while other Southern Frontier sects watched. The Azure Cloud Sect’s old grand elder activated the sect’s puppet formation, which shielded the mountain but had already lost a tenth of its puppets to Sun’s attacks.

• Grand Elder Sun waited for the Mystic Snow Pavilion’s forces, intending to absorb the Azure Cloud Sect rather than destroy it outright.
• Xiao Anhe and Supreme Elder Li guarded the Azure Cloud Sect’s old grand elder while the pavilion’s forces and Southern Frontier spectators arrived.
• The Mystic Snow Pavilion’s pavilion master asked Grand Elder Sun whether to attack, and Sun struck at the Azure Cloud Sect’s gathered elders.
• The old grand elder’s Method Formula activated the puppet formation, protecting the sect as Sun’s attacks disappeared into its light.
• Grand Elder Sun mocked the sect’s reliance on puppets, while the old grand elder and Xiao Anhe recognized that the formation could only delay their defeat.
