Chapter 151
Ise interrogates an armless demonic cultivator named Cha Ongyeol using the Mind-Reading Art, extracting information about Cheoryang Thunder Gate's restrictions and learning that Hae Unchan is a defector from the Great Exorcist Order now operating in Tabaro. Ise sends a Message Talisman through Cha Ongyeol's body, then pursues it on his Dream-Saving Cloud to the Training Forest. There he finds Hae Unchan under surveillance by two Qi Condensation Realm demonic cultivators. After dispatching the pursuers with a single strike, Ise and Hae Unchan reunite after twenty years. Hae Unchan explains that he lost control of his heart demon and killed his pursuit party. He expresses resignation to his fate as a demonic cultivator bound by restrictions, yet resolves to defeat Ise and continue his immortal cultivation path. The chapter closes with Hae Unchan entrusting Ise with his storage pouch, asking him to open it only if he wins.

Chapter 152
Ise interrogates the defeated Hae Unchan, learning that the Cheoryang Thunder Gate restrains its demonic cultivators with soul-binding contracts and heart-demons suppressed by monthly medicinal pellets. Ise severs the contract with the Contract-Severing Sword and offers Hae Unchan a Heart Art manual in exchange for obedience, proposing he flee to the Northern Continent where demonic cultivators are not persecuted. After sending a Message Talisman to Haeil for permission and receiving approval, Ise gives Hae Unchan the Black Ruler and teleportation documents, settling their debts into a five-thousand Spiritual Stone IOU before parting. Hae Unchan's storage pouch reveals cultivation manuals and a handwritten letter detailing the warding barrier's Blood Cultivation Art. Later, Ise visits Hong Mi-hee, who explains that substitute materials for the Regeneration Iron Fan include a dokkaebi's Juvenile Horn, which Ise already possesses from Gonga, prompting her teasing questions about his womanizing.

Chapter 154
Ise prepares for his Core Formation breakthrough while Haeil and five guardians form a protective array around him. The Lightning Tribulation descends mercilessly, and Ise endures it head-on rather than blocking, his body repeatedly scorching and regenerating as he forges primordial qi. Seolryeong watches in shock while Haeil explains that taking the tribulation directly is the only path to success. After half a day, only one percent of the breakthrough is complete. The sky then opens, releasing a massive pillar of fire that bombards the ground. Pi Garam activates his Fire-Repelling Formation, and when it successfully holds back the flames, he cries out in relief as his companions stare at his intense emotional display.

Chapter 155
Chapter 155 opens with a heavenly tribulation breakthrough drawing a Core Formation Realm three-tailed fox demon to Ise's location. Haeil confronts the demon, rebukes it for using a Bewildering Soul Art, and destroys it with his watersword technique. Meanwhile, Ise endures successive heavenly tribulations - fire, water (ice), wood, metal, and earth - each testing his endurance and refinement of primordial qi. He uses spirit artifacts crafted by Seolryeong and Hall Master Hong Mi-hee to survive the tribulations. During the earth tribulation's fifteen-day petrification period, Ise realizes he has accumulated too much internal qi and cannot finish in time. He makes the calculated decision to expel excess internal qi, minimizing losses while completing his breakthrough. The chapter concludes with Ise having successfully refined primordial qi with just two hours to spare, entering the final stage of his Core Formation Realm breakthrough.

Chapter 156
Ise undergoes his Soul Tribulation, reviewing his life through the New Mind-Settling Mirror. The tribulation surfaces painful memories—villagers calling him a demon, his adoptive family's deaths, and the betrayal of Wiseong/Bi Hyeongrang. Overwhelmed by rage, Ise attacks blindly, striking Haeil with primordial qi that tears through their defensive spell. Haeil, acting as breakthrough guardian, shouts commands to subdue Ise if he leaves the altar, then roars encouragement to form his Golden Core. Ise collapses, protected by the mysterious Dark Heaven Secret Realm energy that has saved him three times. After the tribulation fades, Ise follows the Two Principles Return-to-Origin Art's annotation to condense his soul, primordial qi, and divine sense into a Golden Core. The breakthrough succeeds, marking his ascension to the Core Formation Realm at age fifty-five. Though victorious, Ise recognizes his method was haphazard and vows to temper himself, aware that his path forward remains uncertain.

Chapter 157
Ise is pulled into the Order Lord's office to prepare for his Hall Master inauguration. Haeil asks him to choose an existing hall name; Ise picks Azure Dragon Hall over Dokkaebi Hall.

Kang I-tae briefs Ise on his rights and duties, including spiritual stone salaries and disciple training. Woo Yu-hui and Kang I-tae chime in about Han Juok's extortion, and Ise declares his priority: revenge on Han Juok. Ujeol then guides Ise to Water Source Pool, showing him a plot for his new residence and discussing etiquette and casual-speech customs before they settle on jade-green decorations and a temporary dwelling.

Chapter 159
Ise visits the Library Pavilion, where a Foundation Establishment administrative officer greets him and brings him stacks of Core Formation Realm secret manuals. After reviewing spell arts like Regeneration Art, Flight Art, and Deceptive-Realm Art, an alarm triggers a water sprinkler system; a flustered mission operative brings him a cloth. Ise continues reading for nearly a month, committing cultivation methods to memory. He then visits his newly completed residence, where an attendant tours him through the buildings, explains the three-layer warding barrier formations, and discusses access plaques and flower bed maintenance. Next, Ise seeks permission from Order Lord Haeil to hunt Han Juok; Haeil instead spars with him daily, testing his primordial qi control, and finally grants permission. Ise summons the Azure Dragon Hall members, where Seolryeong delivers a detailed continental report covering the ten ruling powers, the Han Clan's activities under Han Juok in Tabaro, and strategic recommendations. Ise selects the youngest member, Doksu, as bait to lure Han Juok out, assigning Seolryeong to provide a flying spirit artifact. Hong Wonseo volunteers nothing when suggested as bait, and the group prepares for the mission.
