Yue Peng showed a recording of Lu Changzhi using the Emperor Dao stone chair, drawing attention away from the Liu Clan’s Emperor’s Son and making Lu Changzhi a target of speculation. As a mysterious seven-colored light headed toward the Emperor’s Tomb, its overwhelming pressure and anger reached the gathered cultivators, putting the Liu Clan’s hidden ancestors on alert.

• Yue Peng displayed the recording of Lu Changzhi’s encounter with the stone chair, while Liu Tianming dismissed the change in Lu Changzhi’s presence as the effect of an external object.
• Observers debated whether the person in the recording or the one in the picture was the real Emperor’s Son, and one person said they could deal with both.

• A mass of seven-colored light appeared more than ten million li away and rushed toward the Emperor’s Tomb, making the surrounding world tremble.
• The light’s invisible pressure and anger descended on the crowd at the Emperor’s Tomb, and Liu Duanyuan and the Liu Clan’s hidden ancestors prepared for a threat they feared might have discovered them.

• Lu Changzhi told Mu Fan to wait for a chance to enter the emperor's tomb and promised to reserve the place for him to explore.

• Liu Tianming said he had learned things from the Emperor Conferment Chair and accused Lu Changzhi of having great ambitions.

As cultivators waited for the Emperor Tomb to open, a decoy entrance drew the crowd away while the true entrance formed beside the Liu Clan. The entrance began to distort space and kill nearby cultivators, and Liu Xun ordered his people to enter quickly and warned Liu Tianming to be careful.

• Liu Tianming explained that the Emperor Conferment Chair could recognize a master with the potential to reach the Misty Clear Realm's pinnacle and intimidate other realms' Dao spirits.

• Space twisted around the formation, killing several cultivators as a gray patch spread at its center.
• Liu Xun told the Liu Clan experts to enter without hesitation and warned Liu Tianming to be especially careful.

Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan entered the emperor’s tomb as its entrance opened, while Lu Changzhi’s original body prepared to send others in. Liu Zhong then attacked the formation and destroyed the entrance, leaving the Liu Clan’s members unable to enter and prompting accusations of treachery.

• Mystic Yang Realm cultivators attacked the stranded Misty Clear Realm cultivators, while Lin Xie and Luo Zhen urged Chen Mingxuan to leave.
• Chen Mingxuan spotted an old acquaintance in danger and told Lin Xie and Luo Zhen that they would go help.

Luo Zhen grabbed Lin Xie for protection as Chen Mingxuan fought off an archer, but a broken spear pierced Lin Xie and Luo Zhen. While Lin Xie tried to escape the chaotic battlefield, Long Yang arrived and attacked, unaware that Lin Xie was preparing to turn his ambush against him.

• Luo Zhen clung to Lin Xie, and Lin Xie warned him to stay close as a red arrow split the void.
• Chen Mingxuan shattered the arrow and fought off three more, but a broken spear struck Lin Xie and pinned Luo Zhen behind him in a ditch.
• Lin Xie pulled the spear from his wound and weighed leaving the battlefield against waiting for Chen Mingxuan.
• Long Yang attacked the wounded Lin Xie, hoping to take advantage of his injury, while Lin Xie feigned worsening his wound and prepared to counter him.

Lin Xie severed Long Yang’s dragon spear and continued fighting the wounded dragon, while a mysterious figure identified Lin Xie and Luo Zhen as unusual protagonists. The figure decided to watch them, but Luo Zhen was caught in the aftermath of a stray attack and sent flying with severe injuries.

• The figure spotted Luo Zhen escaping and identified him as a calamity-star-type protagonist.
• A stray attack from an expert fighting in the air struck near Luo Zhen, blasting apart nearby cultivators and sending Luo Zhen flying with torn skin and flesh.

A mysterious figure healed the badly injured Luo Zhen, then discovered that Luo Zhen’s calamity-star curse had given him a negative status and suspected another system was involved. He turned his attention to Lin Xie pursuing Long Yang and hurried ahead to create an opportunity as reinforcements approached.

• The figure found Luo Zhen conscious but gravely injured and gave him a healing pill before teleporting him away.

• The figure sensed newcomers approaching the Liu Clan’s grand formation, recognized that Lin Xie was a regressor, and sped ahead of Long Yang.

The Liu Clan found that the Mystic Yang Realm had sealed off the area and was closing in, so Liu Wujiang burned incense to summon the Emperor Ancestor. The Emperor Ancestor appeared and stopped the fighting with his overwhelming presence.

• Liu Xun realized that the Liu Clan's teleportation routes had been destroyed, and Liu Duanyuan explained that the space was sealed against escape.
• The Liu Clan ancestors agreed to summon the Emperor Ancestor as Mystic Yang Realm experts continued to arrive.
• Liu Wujiang lit the incense, and white smoke flowed onto his hand as he lent the Emperor Ancestor his power.
• Liu Clan and Mystic Yang Realm experts fought to protect or attack Liu Wujiang while the smoke gathered power.
• The Emperor Ancestor appeared and demanded to know who dared attack his descendants, bringing the battle to a halt.

The Liu Clan Imperial Ancestor, Heavenly Fortune, appeared and seemed to end the crisis, but experts from the Mystic Yang Realm revealed that three Emperor Realm enemies had been searching for him. He declared the feud was his own, then vanished when the incense was snapped off, leaving everyone to wonder whether he had abandoned the Liu Clan.

• Heavenly Fortune told Liu Wujiang that the feud was his own responsibility and had nothing to do with the Liu Clan.
• Heavenly Fortune vanished as a gale swept through, and Liu Wujiang discovered that the incense had been snapped off before it burned down.
• After waiting for a cup of tea, one of the Mystic Yang Realm experts wondered aloud whether Heavenly Fortune, rather than their side, wanted the Liu Clan dead.

After the Imperial Ancestor left, the Liu Clan faced the Mystic Yang Realm's forces without their backing. The Liu Clan ancestors began preparing to hold off the enemy so Liu Tianming and the others might escape.

• Liu Duanyuan and Liu Xun realized the Imperial Ancestor had abandoned them and discussed how dire the situation had become.

• Chen Qiuwen offered to hold off the Mystic Yang Realm's experts at any cost, and other Liu Clan ancestors joined him.
• Liu Xun watched the ancestors prepare to fight and vowed to honor Liu Kuang with a hundred-zhang statue if he failed to return.

A Shen Clan expert summoned an Emperor Artifact spear to attack the Liu Clan, whose ancestors struggled to hold their formation. Liu Tianming summoned the Emperor Conferment Chair, and its Artifact Spirit persuaded the spear’s spirit to withdraw its power and come along, then rode off on it to test whether it was trustworthy.

• A Shen Clan expert summoned an Emperor Artifact spear and launched it toward the Liu Clan’s grand formation.

• The Emperor Conferment Chair’s Artifact Spirit convinced the spear’s Artifact Spirit to withdraw its power and follow it.
• The Emperor Conferment Chair’s Artifact Spirit told Liu Tianming the spear was subdued, then climbed onto it and rode away to test its spirit.

The Emperor Conferment Chair brought the Shen Clan’s Emperor Artifact spear into the Liu Clan’s formation, where the spear showed affection for Liu Tianming and allowed him to take hold of it. As the Mystic Yang Realm experts joined forces to attack the formation, a fierce wind and mysterious force suddenly descended, interrupting the battle.

• The Emperor Conferment Chair suppressed the spear and guided it through an entrance in the Liu Clan’s formation to Liu Tianming.
• The spear rubbed against Liu Tianming, and he reached out and took hold of it as the Liu Clan rejoiced.
• Liu Xun thanked the spear, while the Shen Clan expert demanded that Zhu Sheng and the other Mystic Yang Realm expert help him reclaim it.
• The three experts joined forces, and fighters from all three factions attacked the Liu Clan’s formation.
• Liu Tianming asked the spear to help the Liu Clan’s fighters, but a fierce wind swept through and a mysterious force dimmed the world, slowing the battle.

Two mysterious figures entered the Liu Clan’s formation and examined Liu Tianming, declaring that he was not a reborn Human Emperor candidate and threatening those who spread the rumor. Their announcement ended when someone claimed the real reborn person, Lin Xie, was nearby and trying to escape.

• Strips of paper bearing Liu Tianming’s name fell from the sky as two mysterious robed figures appeared and approached the Liu Clan’s formation.
• Liu Zhong attacked the figures, but his suppression seal vanished and the brush-wielding figure immobilized him with a touch to his brow.
• The figures passed through the grand formation, and Liu Xun tried to move Liu Tianming before Liu Tianming told him there was nowhere to go.
• The brush-wielding figure touched Liu Tianming’s brow, then declared that he was not the reborn Human Emperor candidate.
• The figure announced that those who fabricated and spread the rumor would pay, and someone shouted that Lin Xie was nearby and about to escape.

Lin Xie was exposed as a reborn one and nearly captured by two mysterious figures, but an unknown cloaked person secretly protected him. After the figures killed the person who had revealed his identity, the cloaked person appeared and hinted that greater powers existed beyond what Lin Xie knew.

• Someone shouted that Lin Xie was a reborn one, and a beam of light marked him as he fled.
• Liu Xun and Chen Mingxuan realized that Lin Xie's identity explained his unusual abilities and past actions.
• Two mysterious figures separated Lin Xie's soul from his body and searched him with a brush, but then vanished without harming him.
• The figures appeared before the person who had shouted and killed him with the brush, alarming the onlookers.
• A cloaked person appeared before Lin Xie, admitted to protecting him, and said that greater people and higher heavens existed beyond what he knew.

Lin Xie wondered whether the newcomer who rescued him had framed him, while Lu Changzhi’s group explored the imperial tomb using Lin Xie’s detailed map. The chapter left Lu Changzhi suspecting Lin Xie had prepared the records as if he expected to make the journey again.

• Lin Xie took a pill and headed back toward the Misty Clear Realm, then wondered whether the newcomer had framed him and questioned what the man wanted.
• The newcomer watched Lin Xie leave, considered him a useful leek, and decided to return rather than linger.
• Lu Changzhi received Luo Zhen’s belongings and discovered they included half of Long Yang’s dragon dick, which he suspected Lin Xie had broken off.
• Mu Fan joked about the object, and Gu Chen accepted it for its remaining dragon blood before the group continued through the imperial tomb.
• Lu Changzhi’s group followed Lin Xie’s exceptionally detailed map through the tomb, and Lu Changzhi began to suspect Lin Xie had expected to travel the route again.

Lin Xie disguised himself as a Mystic Yang Realm cultivator and planned to return to the Emperor Tomb to recover an object that might be connected to his rebirth. Meanwhile, an unseen figure decided to risk returning for Lin Xie’s opportunity, while Mu Fan struggled to interpret his vague system mission.

• Lu Changzhi wondered whether Lin Xie had been reborn more than once and returned his attention to the Emperor Tomb.
• Lin Xie killed a Mystic Yang Realm cultivator, took his clothes and token, and disguised himself as the man.
• Lin Xie resolved to return to the Emperor Tomb and retrieve a mysterious object he had found in Xu Tiancheng’s tomb in his previous life.
• A figure traveling through the void learned that Lin Xie’s opportunity involved rebirth and turned back toward the Emperor Tomb despite the danger.
• Inside the Emperor Tomb, Gu Chen and Qin Li teased the listless Mu Fan, whose system mission only told him to “Dig” and “Deep.”

Lu Changzhi led Mu Fan and the others deeper into the Emperor's tomb while worrying about their limited time to explore and escape. Outside, Lin Xie warned the battling clans that the tomb's entrance would close soon, prompting Shen Clan experts to demand the Liu Clan reveal how to open it.

• Lu Changzhi continued guiding Mu Fan, Gu Chen, Qin Li, Xiao Ye, and Zhong Ming through the tomb as Mu Fan struggled with the unclear requirements of his task.
• Lu Changzhi considered the short window for leaving the tomb and decided to inspect its inheritance before judging how Mu Fan could complete his task.
• Lin Xie watched the Liu Clan's array collect weapons with the stone chair and reflected that the Liu Clan had taken the chair from him.
• Shen Clan experts cursed the stone chair for luring away their weapons and the Emperor Spear, while their weapons' Artifact Spirits reported that they could not escape it.
• Lin Xie beat a battered gong and announced that only half a day remained to open the Emperor's tomb.
• Shen Clan experts turned their attention to the tomb and demanded that the Liu Clan hand over the method to open it.

The Liu Clan gave the Shen, Zhu, and another Mystic Yang Realm faction memories revealing the Emperor’s tomb entrance, hoping to turn their attention away from the clan. After the factions headed for the tomb, a mysterious voice identified it as Xu Tiancheng’s tomb, stirring the crowd with the revelation that he was a legendary Body-Forging Great Emperor.

• Liu Xun asked Liu Duanyuan whether the Liu Clan should hand over the tomb information, and Liu Duanyuan agreed they needed to give up the tomb to divert their enemies.
• Liu Xun sent the Shen Clan a cluster of memories about the entrance, while the Shen and Zhu experts argued over their lack of cooperation and the Shen Clan’s lost spear.
• Zhu Sheng demanded another copy of the entrance method, and the Liu Clan handed the Zhu Clan and another faction nearly identical memories.
• Zhu Sheng decided to investigate the tomb, while Liu Xun recognized that the three Mystic Yang Realm factions were not united.
• A hidden speaker announced that the tomb belonged to Xu Tiancheng, and a young cultivator identified him as the Body-Forging Great Emperor who tempered his body with the Four Great Sacred Beasts.

Zhu Sheng and the other Mystic Yang Realm factions realized Xu Tiancheng’s inheritance might help their Imperial Ancestors and moved to report the discovery, while the Liu Clan decided to investigate Lin Xie. Inside the tomb, Lu Changzhi’s group reached a strange statue, and Gu Chen realized Master’s reminder pointed to the hidden entrance.

• Zhu Sheng concluded that the possible tomb of Xu Tiancheng had to be reported to the Imperial Ancestor, while the Huang Clan expert also urged his faction to report it.
• Liu Duanyuan told the Liu Clan members to prepare to withdraw, and Liu Tianming persuaded Liu Xun to investigate Lin Xie before returning to the Misty Clear Realm.
• Lu Changzhi and his companions reached a colossal statue with two visible doors and a third hidden entrance described in Lin Xie’s memories.
• Mu Fan reminded Gu Chen that Master’s earlier gift had a purpose, and Gu Chen took out Long Yang’s penis and realized the hidden entrance was located in a particular part of the statue.

Gu Chen and the others discovered an emperor's tomb chamber containing Xu Tiancheng, whose body had been refined into a corpse artifact. Lu Changzhi learned that reversing the transformation would require the power of time, then warned the group that someone was approaching as Mu Fan's situation became the more urgent concern.

• Qin Li uncovered a hidden door between the two visible doors, and Gu Chen led the group inside.
• The group found a purple, metallic figure and inheritance treasures; Qin Li identified the figure as a corpse artifact made from a refined body.
• Gu Chen asked whether Zhong Ming could use the body, but Zhong Ming said he could not, while Lu Changzhi's system explained that undoing the refinement would take time—specifically, the power of time.
• Lu Changzhi sensed someone trying to connect to the tomb and warned Gu Chen and the others that someone would arrive soon.
