The Five Elements Saint Emperor's legacy opened, and Xiang Li and cultivators from several factions entered as Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan followed. As older experts projected the legacy space for everyone to watch, a mysterious figure on a broom spotted the distant light and flew toward the site, eager to explore the tomb.

• The Five Elements Sacred Physique's presence gathered power until a spatial rift stabilized into an entrance to the Five Elements Saint Emperor's legacy.

Lu Changzhi bypassed the palace’s puppet guards and modest staircase trial, then entered the hall and activated the inheritance’s formation. A remnant of the Five Elements Saint Emperor’s intent appeared and recognized him as a bearer of the Five Elements Sacred Physique.

• Lu Changzhi entered the inheritance space, received a protective mark, and followed the light of opportunity toward the palace.
• He used the Nonhuman Plaque to approach the palace, but the puppets detected him, so he vanished past them while Xiang Li wondered if someone else was nearby.
• Xiang Li and the younger Xiang Clan members fought their way through the attribute puppets, and Xiang Li prepared to battle the dark-gold puppet.
• Lu Changzhi leaped across the 108 steps, reached the palace gates, and used a formation disk to create an identical image of them.
• He opened the gates, entered the hall, and sat on the cushion indicated by the light of opportunity.
• Lu Changzhi activated the surrounding formations, whereupon the Five Elements Saint Emperor’s remnant intent appeared and welcomed another bearer of the Five Elements Sacred Physique.

Chen Wangdao warned Lu Changzhi that the Five Elements Sacred Physique was not simply a blessing, but a trait desired by the Will of Heaven and Earth, which could cultivate its bearers for its own purposes. He urged Lu Changzhi to stay vigilant and prepare ways to escape, then cautioned that other worlds might be even more dangerous.

• Chen Wangdao told Lu Changzhi that the Five Elements Sacred Physique's true abilities mattered to cultivation and control over heaven and earth, but could also bring calamity.
• Chen Wangdao explained that Heavenly Daos and the Wills of Heaven and Earth had their own inclinations and plans, and that the Five Elements Sacred Physique was certainly something this world's Will of Heaven and Earth wanted.
• Lu Changzhi connected this explanation to Xiang Li's talents, reasoning that the Will of Heaven and Earth was cultivating him and supplementing his luck and opportunities.
• Chen Wangdao warned Lu Changzhi to stay vigilant and secure escape routes so he would not become helplessly trapped in the Will of Heaven and Earth's plans.
• Lu Changzhi asked why they did not leave for another world, and Chen Wangdao replied that another Will of Heaven and Earth or Heavenly Dao could pose an even greater danger.

Lu Changzhi learned that the Will of Heaven and Earth had been secretly strengthening him and collected the Five Elements origin power and Chen Wangdao’s inheritance. Xiang Li reached the palace gates as observers wondered about strange fluctuations affecting the Xiang Clan, and he prepared to open the gates.

• Chen Wangdao warned Lu Changzhi that the Will of Heaven and Earth was aiding him and urged him to judge its assistance carefully.
• Chen Wangdao disappeared, and Lu Changzhi collected the sealed Five Elements origin power and absorbed the orb containing Chen Wangdao’s insights and inheritance.

• Xiang Li regretted that Kong Mu was absent, then raised his hand and pushed against the palace gates.

Xiang Li tried to open the palace gates, but a mysterious voice kept asking him simple family questions while refusing to let him force the doors open. A teleportation beacon then activated and black smoke spread around the area, as Lu Changzhi received a system notice that Xiang Li Ao's opportunities had changed and a filtered target had appeared.

• A voice asked Xiang Li what he called his father's father, and after he answered twice, it demanded that he call Grandpa.
• The voice asked what Xiang Li called his mother's mother, so Xiang Li attacked the gates with a golden halberd when he refused to answer.
• Xiang Li's attack failed, and he finally answered, "Call Grandma," as the Xiang Clan's younger members suspected something was wrong.
• A teleportation beacon activated nearby, drawing Xiang Li's and Lu Changzhi's attention as the beacon began receiving a response.
• Black smoke spread from several locations, and Xiang Li urgently tried and failed to blast open the gates again.
• Lu Changzhi finished his work and received system notices that Xiang Li Ao's opportunity information had updated and a target matching the filter had appeared.

Lu Changzhi escaped the black fog and inspected the newly refreshed opportunities, discovering that the mission target was Zhong Ming, a powerful Saint with a Rebirth System. After learning that Zhong Ming’s system currently aided him in grave robbing, Lu Changzhi tried to locate him, but the tracking light vanished.

• Xiang Li struck the palace gates after the restrictions faded, and the gates opened silently as black fog spread around the area.
• Lu Changzhi reached safety beyond the fog, checked Xiang Li’s refreshed opportunities, and wondered whether the mission target had arrived through the teleportation beacon.
• Lu Changzhi examined Zhong Ming’s information and learned about his Saint Realm cultivation, unusual physique, talents, and Rebirth System.
• The system told Lu Changzhi that Zhong Ming’s Rebirth System currently focused on grave robbing and only promised endless rebirth after certain requirements were met.
• Lu Changzhi asked the system to show Zhong Ming’s location, but the tracking light abruptly disappeared.

Lu Changzhi realized that Zhong Ming had likely gone outside to alert the people gathered at the inheritance entrance, while a powerful teleportation array formed inside the secret realm. As the unstable realm began to tremble, Lu Changzhi withdrew to a safer distance.

• Lu Changzhi learned that the target had left the area, then watched a powerful teleportation array begin forming near the beacon.
• Xiang Li sensed danger in the palace, sent a message using a talisman, and began receiving the Five Elements Saint Emperor's inheritance.
• Zhong Ming told the people outside that a teleportation array was nearly complete and challenged them to enter the inheritance space.
• Xiang Qingcang tested the entrance, discovered it was sealed, and asked Murong Jing to break through while she worked on it.
• Lu Changzhi noticed Zhong Ming hiding near the entrance and inferred that he had gone outside to stir up trouble and alert the others.
• Lu Changzhi felt the secret realm tremble as the teleportation array strained its unstable space, so he moved farther away.

Cang Hao arrived with six Saint Venerable experts to seek the inheritance and capture a Five Elements Sacred Physique, but the Will of Heaven and Earth destroyed the teleportation array and trapped him inside. Lu Changzhi then focused on recruiting Zhong Ming and asked the system how to take him as a disciple.

• A middle-aged Saint King entered through the teleportation array, and Lu Changzhi noted that the inheritance would no longer destroy itself now that he had taken it.
• Cang Hao arrived with six Saint Venerable experts, and Lu Changzhi recognized his Five Elements Sacred Physique as a possible source of Xiang Li's opportunity.
• Cang Hao headed toward the palace with his companions, while one of them warned that the unstable space would not last much longer.
• The Will of Heaven and Earth attacked Cang Hao and shattered the teleportation beacon and array, leaving him at their wreckage.
• Lu Changzhi asked the system how to recruit Zhong Ming, and it advised him to stay put and let Zhong Ming attack.

As golden power gathered over the secret realm, Zhong Ming broke through the entrance restrictions and entered the palace, where he expelled Xiang Li. Xiang Li confronted Cang Hao and the six Saint Venerables over the inheritance, just as two Saint Emperors of the Xiang Clan arrived.

• A golden presence spread across the sky, alarming Xia Hai and Xiang Qingcang as they sensed its source inside the secret realm.
• Zhong Ming broke the entrance formation, tore open a spatial rift, and entered the palace.
• Zhong Ming pushed Xiang Li out of the palace, where Cang Hao and six Saint Venerables presented resources tied to the Five Elements Sacred Physique.
• Xiang Li recognized Cang Hao's physique and the resources, concluded they had taken the inheritance, and accused them of stealing it.
• Two Saint Emperors of the Xiang Clan entered after the obstruction at the entrance was broken, shaking the space.

Xiang Qingcang and the Xiang Clan’s experts confronted Cang Hao and his protectors over the Five Elements Saint Emperor’s inheritance, while Lu Changzhi suspected the Will of Heaven and Earth was pushing them toward a deadly clash. Inside the palace, Zhong Ming prepared to use his system to uncover more of the inheritance.

• Xiang Li accused Cang Hao of stealing the inheritance, and Cang Hao challenged him to a fair match.
• Xiang Qingcang saw through the Cang Clan experts’ attempt to stall and summoned the Xiang Clan’s forces, while the Will of Heaven and Earth stabilized the area.
• Xiang Qingcang ordered Xiang Li and the younger clansmen to leave, then declared that the Xiang Clan would carry out heaven’s will and attacked Cang Hao’s group.
• Lu Changzhi wondered where the greater portion of the inheritance had gone and worried about what Zhong Ming was doing inside the palace.
• Zhong Ming found that there was still something left to dig up, went to the palace’s center, and called out, “Rise again, my Chenchen!”

Zhong Ming resurrected Chen Wangdao in the palace and received a system task to take Lu Changzhi as his disciple. After learning the task offered rewards whether he succeeded or failed, Zhong Ming decided to find Lu Changzhi.

• Zhong Ming used the Resurrection System to restore Chen Wangdao’s body, then activated him with a touch.
• Zhong Ming left the stripped palace, intending to find a safe place to receive the cultivation returned for digging up a Saint Emperor’s grave.
• The system assigned Zhong Ming a key event to take Lu Changzhi as his disciple.
• Zhong Ming asked the system about the rewards and learned there would be benefits for success or failure.
• Zhong Ming decided to pursue the task and set out to find Lu Changzhi.

Zhong Ming discovered Lu Changzhi and decided to approach him, hoping to recruit him as a disciple. Meanwhile, Lu Changzhi headed toward Xiang Li’s Four Symbols Hall opportunity as a battle outside escalated, leaving the surviving defenders in grave danger.

• Zhong Ming inspected Lu Changzhi’s profile, noted his Five Elements Sacred Physique and excellent luck, and set out to approach him.
• Lu Changzhi chose to pursue Xiang Li’s Four Symbols Hall opportunity, which was nearby.
• A wounded Saint Venerable blew himself up, but Xiang Qingcang suppressed the blast before it could devastate the retreating juniors.
• Huang Zhan recorded the battle as the Xiang Clan’s forces overwhelmed Cang Hao’s allies, leaving only three of the original six Saint Venerables alive.
• Golden light gathered overhead into a massive bolt of lightning and plunged toward the ground.

A golden lightning bolt killed Cang Hao, and Lu Changzhi collected a small pendant fragment amid the chaos. As Lu Changzhi and Zhong Ming left, an old man approached and asked Lu Changzhi to take him as his master.

• A golden lightning bolt struck the battlefield, and Lu Changzhi picked up a tiny pendant fragment that his lines of opportunity pointed toward.
• Zhong Ming noticed Lu Changzhi collecting the object and wondered whether his apparent good luck could explain the coincidence.
• Cang Hao's three remaining experts found him dead, while the onlookers speculated that the Will of Heaven and Earth had struck him down.
• A gentler golden light left a peculiar presence before Xiang Qingcang, and Lu Changzhi suspected the Will of Heaven and Earth was setting him up to take the blame.
• Lu Changzhi and Zhong Ming left the area, and an old man offered to take Lu Changzhi as his master.

Zhong Ming tried to recruit Lu Changzhi as his disciple by demonstrating how he could summon fallen powerhouses, but each one went to Lu Changzhi instead. The chapter ended with Lu Changzhi preparing to collect them while Zhong Ming watched in dismay.

• Zhong Ming offered to take Lu Changzhi as his disciple and summoned Chen Wangdao to demonstrate his abilities.
• Lu Changzhi recognized Chen Wangdao, and Zhong Ming promised that he could consult Chen Wangdao about cultivation if he became his disciple.
• Chen Wangdao unexpectedly went to Lu Changzhi's side, and Zhong Ming could neither control nor recall him.
• Zhong Ming summoned more fallen powerhouses, but every one of them also gathered around Lu Changzhi.
• Lu Changzhi told Zhong Ming to stop and brought out burlap sacks to collect the powerhouses, leaving Zhong Ming's face dark.

Lu Changzhi revealed that he could disrupt Zhong Ming’s control over resurrected experts and accepted Zhong Ming as his disciple. After the inheritance space’s strange phenomena ended, Lu Changzhi reunited with Mu Fan and introduced Zhong Ming to Hidden Origin Peak.

• Zhong Ming realized Lu Changzhi had affected the resurrected experts and asked how he had done it.
• Lu Changzhi offered Zhong Ming a place as his disciple, and Zhong Ming accepted after confirming he could keep his own plans.
• Lu Changzhi’s system reported the disciple mission complete, and he chose to save the gift pack for later.
• The phenomena in the sky faded, and Mu Fan emerged from the Five Elements Saint Emperor Inheritance Space to greet his new junior brother, Zhong Ming.
• Lu Changzhi asked Mu Fan about his harvest, then told Huang Zhan and Lu Yuan that he did not know why the Saint Venerables had barged in.

After learning that Cang Hao and his companions had died, Cang Chen ordered the Five Continents Domain drenched in blood. Back at his residence, Lu Changzhi used his disciple gift pack and discovered a new way to speed up his study of the Dao of Space.

• Lu Changzhi told Lu Yuan and Huang Zhan that an outsider with a Five Elements Sacred Physique had destroyed the teleportation array and that the golden lightning came from the Will of Heaven and Earth.
• Cang Chen learned that Cang Hao, six Saint Venerables, and another Cang clansman had died, then ordered the Cang Clan to mobilize and attack the Five Continents Domain.
• Lu Changzhi used the Disciple Acceptance Gift Pack and received a Dao-Severing Sword Spirit that was still being captured, instruction in the Dao of Space, and other rewards.
• Lu Changzhi examined the Dao of Space instruction and realized that its lengthy training time could be shortened with his unused Powerful Simplification chance.

Lu Changzhi simplified his cultivation of the Dao of Space to minor mastery and tested his ability to manipulate space, though the effort strained him. He examined new system abilities, including a talent that could deter Heavenly Dao trouble and expanded options for Zhong Ming’s resurrection system.

• Lu Changzhi used Powerful Simplification to reach minor mastery in the Dao of Space and learned that his current strength could not bear much strain from manipulating it.
• Lu Changzhi warped the space before him, then stopped when the effort proved taxing and decided to seek auxiliary artifacts.
• Lu Changzhi read the Men Must Be Fast ability and learned it could increase his speed beyond a target’s in several different ways, but he rejected its use for sexy-time speed.
• Lu Changzhi examined Dao Aura Protection and thought it could help address the trouble Senior Chen had mentioned regarding the Five Elements Sacred Physique.
• Lu Changzhi read the three modes of Zhong Ming’s resurrection system: Reforging Karma, Imparting the Dao and Teaching, and Fighting with Full Strength.

Lu Changzhi used his disciple-growth gift pack and welcomed Zhong Ming with a storage ring full of soul-nourishing supplies. As Zhong Ming accepted Mu Fan’s mysterious “large firework” as a senior-brother gift, he recognized the name East Wind and blurted out, “Delivery?”

• Lu Changzhi decided he was ready to plan an expedition into the Longevity Battlefield after gaining an initial grasp of the Dao of Space.
• Lu Changzhi used the Disciple Growth Enhancement Gift Pack and received a Mourning Stele, a Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Disc, and Spirit-Nourishing Nether Grass.
• Zhong Ming told Lu Changzhi that Mu Fan had said he was at least ten thousand years old, and Lu Changzhi insisted he was only eighteen.
• Lu Changzhi gave Zhong Ming a storage ring containing a vast amount of Spirit-Nourishing Nether Grass, enough to restore his soul for a long time.
• Mu Fan gave Zhong Ming a large firework and mentioned the East Wind First-Generation Version, prompting Zhong Ming to say “Delivery?” and leaving Mu Fan startled.

Mu Fan grew suspicious that Zhong Ming was another transmigrator from Blue Star after hearing him mention an unfamiliar phrase, and he tried to sound out Lu Changzhi about it. Back at Myriad Laws Academy, Zhong Ming met Gu Chen, while Lu Changzhi prepared to travel to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with Lu Yuan.

• Mu Fan wondered whether Zhong Ming was a fellow transmigrator after he mentioned East Wind Express, then asked Lu Changzhi about the phrase “odd changes, even stays the same.”
• Lu Changzhi disguised his recognition of the phrase and concluded that Mu Fan had come to test him, while Mu Fan remained curious about whether Zhong Ming had a system or another advantage.
• The flying boat returned to Myriad Laws Academy, where Mu Fan introduced Zhong Ming to Gu Chen.
• Gu Chen praised Zhong Ming’s discerning compliment about his body refinement, and Lu Changzhi told the disciples to get acquainted and call Xiao Ye back from his honeymoon.
• Lu Changzhi asked Lu Yuan whether he knew the way to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion headquarters, and Lu Yuan offered to take him there.
