After Huang Pi took the Origin of Fire from the Extreme Arms Holy Land, Sun Yi’s invitation brought him toward another encounter with Lu Changzhi.

• Lu Changzhi told Sun Yi he wanted the Origin of Fire and asked about assistance, and Sun Yi offered to invite Huang Pi to the pavilion for a discussion.

• Sun Yi told Lu Changzhi that the Fortuitous Opportunity Token could reveal opportunities at Xu Feng’s ruins but could not grant his inheritance, which required the Five Elements Sacred Physique.
• Sun Yi revealed that Xiang Li of the Xiang Clan was this generation’s bearer, while the system assured Lu Changzhi that his own Five Elements Sacred Physique was genuine.
• Lu Changzhi noticed eight Saint King Realm ancestors gathered near the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s flying boat and contacted one of them.

• Lu Changzhi told his ancestor that he had taken only what was useful from Huang Pi, and the ancestors set off toward Huang Pi to lend a hand.

Huang Pi was robbed again after losing the Origin of Fire and Fortuitous Opportunity Token, while the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s proposed teleportation array gave Extreme Arms Holy Land a new opportunity. Lu Changzhi then visited Mu Fan, who explained that he wanted the Origin of Fire to strengthen his talismans.

• Huang Pi confronted a masked Saint King who claimed to be there to rob him, and the two fought until Huang Hao woke and found his grandfather unclothed.
• Duan Yi and the elders agreed to discuss cooperation with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and Jiang Yuanyin accepted the proposal while warning of its risks.
• Jiang Yuanyin told Lu Changzhi that the teleportation array might change his plans to leave Extreme Arms Holy Land, since the partnership could benefit the holy land and himself.
• Lu Changzhi visited Mu Fan, who admitted he missed Hidden Origin Peak and offered Xiao Ming spiritual fruits, which the picky creature rejected.
• Lu Changzhi asked why Mu Fan wanted to refine the Origin of Fire, and Mu Fan said it would enhance the power of his talismans.

Lu Changzhi gave Mu Fan the Origin of Fire and arranged for him to observe the construction of a teleportation array, while news of the Extreme Arms Holy Land's crisis spread and Mu Qianqian prepared to take Qin Jiuxiao beyond the Land of the Four Directions. Lu Changzhi learned of Qin Jiuxiao's future opportunities and bought another random mission.

• Lu Changzhi gave Mu Fan the Origin of Fire and arranged for him to watch the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and the Extreme Arms Holy Land build a teleportation array.
• News spread that the Extreme Arms Holy Land's Saint King ancestor was gravely wounded and dying, prompting people across the region to discuss the upheaval.
• Mu Qianqian declined Qin Jiuxiao's suggestion to seek treasures at the Extreme Arms Holy Land and said she would take him to an expert to improve his physique before traveling beyond the Land of the Four Directions.
• Lu Changzhi learned that Qin Jiuxiao would be forged by Feng Dachui and later find part of Wei Chen's mechanism-art inheritance, then considered telling Mu Fan about the inheritance.
• Lu Changzhi bought a new random mission after checking the system the next morning.

Lu Changzhi tasked Mu Fan with displaying some skill while observing the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion construct a teleportation array. As construction began, Mu Fan suddenly experienced an apparent enlightenment, leaving Sun Yi wondering whether the gourd he carried contained Dao Comprehension Tea.

• Lu Changzhi accepted the mission to display skill with teleportation arrays and asked Mu Fan to demonstrate what he could do.
• Mu Fan questioned whether showing his abilities violated the sect’s ancestral teachings, but agreed to try after Lu Changzhi explained that he could reveal just the right amount.
• Xiao Jiao led Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan to the construction site, where they met Sun Yi, Chen Kun, and the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s array workers.
• Kong Yi and the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion team began constructing the teleportation array while Lu Changzhi watched and Mu Fan ate and drank from his gourd.
• A surge of Qi emerged from Mu Fan, and Sun Yi suspected he had suddenly attained enlightenment before wondering whether the gourd held Dao Comprehension Tea.

Lu Changzhi considered how to prove his abilities after Mu Fan’s Sudden Enlightenment yielded little, while Chen Kun warned Mu Fan not to pursue teleportation arrays beyond his level. The chapter ended as Chen Kun asked Lu Changzhi about his experience with arrays and restrictions, and Lu Changzhi weighed a system choice that would let him demonstrate his mastery.

• Mu Fan told Lu Changzhi that his Sudden Enlightenment had not improved his idle cultivation much and that he could not show what he could do.

• Lu Changzhi read three system choices and focused on the option to demonstrate his abilities by mastering teleportation arrays.
• Chen Kun asked Lu Changzhi whether he had ever studied arrays and restrictions, and Mu Fan sat down with a melon to watch.

Lu Changzhi used perfect comprehension to learn how to construct a teleportation array after asking Chen Kun to review his newly gained insight. He discovered the method demanded more power than he could spare, so he brought out the Simplification Pen to help complete the demonstration.

• Lu Changzhi declined Sun Yi's invitation and asked Chen Kun to review his array knowledge, leaving the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion members to watch.
• Chen Kun agreed to help, while Sun Yi privately urged him not to let the situation escalate.
• Lu Changzhi used perfect comprehension to absorb the advanced teleportation-array method and found that constructing it unaided would exhaust his power and mind.
• Lu Changzhi took out the Simplification Pen and began using it to simplify the task as Sun Yi and Mu Fan waited.

Lu Changzhi used the Dao Simplification Brush to form an array in the void, startling Sun Yi and Chen Kun with his skill. Chen Kun recognized the technique as coming from the One Brush Saint Emperor’s work on teleportation arrays, and the chapter ended with him wondering whether Lu Changzhi’s brush suggested an even bolder possibility.

• Lu Changzhi summoned the Dao Simplification Brush and began drawing an array in the void.
• Sun Yi and Chen Kun recognized that Lu Changzhi was forming an array with a brush, and Chen Kun ordered the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s people to leave while he isolated the area with an array plate.
• Chen Kun told Sun Yi about the One Brush Saint Emperor’s incomplete work, The Construction and Application of Teleportation Arrays.
• Chen Kun recognized Lu Changzhi’s technique as the teleportation-array method from that work, and Sun Yi wondered whether Lu Changzhi had obtained the complete volume.
• Chen Kun pointed to Lu Changzhi’s brush and asked Sun Yi to consider another possibility.

Lu Changzhi completed a teleportation formation that astonished Chen Kun and earned his apology and respect. Sun Yi suspected Lu Yuan had found or hidden the One Brush Saint Emperor’s inheritance, while Mu Fan recorded the demonstration.

• Sun Yi considered Chen Kun’s suggestion that Lu Yuan might have obtained the One Brush Saint Emperor’s inheritance and linked it to Lu Yuan’s disappearance and his son’s presence in the Land of the Four Directions.
• Mu Fan watched Lu Changzhi draw the teleportation formation and assumed his master was deliberately demonstrating it for Chen Kun.
• Chen Kun studied Lu Changzhi’s formation and realized its mastery might have reached the perfection stage, making him regret his earlier judgment.
• Lu Changzhi completed the formation, which operated seamlessly and displayed an elegant, carefully ordered design.
• Chen Kun apologized to Lu Changzhi, offered to address him as a brother, and gave him a communication token.
• Mu Fan put away the image-recording stone and planned to show the recording to future junior disciples.
