Main article: *Spring Pavilion of the East*
Eastern personally shattered and abandoned his Spring Pavilion of the East before becoming MIA.

### Eastern Great Emperor's Diary

Blockhead Song sold White Bone a ‘Way of the Hammer sermon manuscript’ from Eastern Great Emperor’s diary **«*A Hammer Cultivator’s Cultivation Experience*»** for her Eighth Stage Profound Saint sermon. Because of this incident, White Bone became Eastern's junior in the Way of Hammer while working as his artificer assistant.

### Post-Heavenly Court

Even with the network of the Heavenly Way Must Step Down Alliance, Eastern Great Emperor was deemed MIA since the destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Eastern actually went into closed confinement to shun the world and for successfully withdrawing from the Way of the Heavenly Court. He recently woke up in early January 2020, after the Collapse. He was contacted-updated by Heavenly Emperor and mastered the modern language through supplementary lessons. He also begun learning modern time units and knowledge. He even knew of Tyrant Song, however, Dongfang Pei viewed him as a young Eighth Stage cultivator who cultivated for as long as other genius cultivator standards.

Dongfang Pei did not know of or watch Tyrant Song's sermons until after the upgrade.

## Upgrading the Thirty Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Item

“*Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor*„
— **Song Shuhang joking around**

*Main article: Upgrade of the Thirty Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Item*
Before her ‘death’, the Heavenly Emperor had arranged for Eastern Great Emperor to upgrade Song Shuhang’s two sets of Thirty Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Item, by writing off a 1 billion spirit stones debt the Great Emperor owed her.

However, the materials and spirit stones required for the upgrade wasn’t included in the 1 billion spirit stones price tag.

Eastern Great Emperor took the job to practice experience with promoting multiple top stage Living Items. Because of his Ancient Heavenly Court membership period, he has much experience forging and upgrading the Thirty Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Item for the Beast God Corps. He obtains more forging-upgrading materials from Song Shuhang's material horded collection pile.

The upgrading works took place at the gradually collapsing Heavenly Emperor World.

This Upgrade event caused many tiring common sense breaking heart attacks at Eastern Great Emperor. It resulted with himself upgrading his artificer skills out of pressure.

## Meeting the Rulers (First Time to Third)

“*(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻*„
— ****Eastern Great Emperor****

During the Upgrade event, Eastern stressfully encountered three Nine Serenities Rulers: Song Fat Ball, White Two's Golden Thigh and Eye Two's aura.

“*Little White Bone, how many Nine Serenities Rulers does Tyrant Song knows?*„
— **Dongfang Pei to White Bone**

If it wasn’t for **Eastern Great Emperor** having perfect mastery of his psychological quality, if changed to another cultivator, seeing the different Nine Serenities Rulers in the same day, his mind will collapse.

## Runaway from Tyrant Song's Raising Sabre Art

“*......*„
— **What is with your «*Raising Sabre Art*»? Too evil. (Dongfang Pei)**

“*【Evil art, this is absolutely an evil art.】*„
—  **Eastern Great Emperor secretly said in heart, then he puts out a hand to extract that Old Ape Hierophant Sharp Sword, starts the new upgrade round.**

## Relationships

### Ancient Heavenly Court

#### Heavenly Emperor

Upon being contacted by Heavenly Emperor, Eastern began familiarizing himself with the modern world and history since the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Emperor also told Eastern the famous Tyrant Song recently became an Eighth Stage cultivator and is special. Eastern also knew Heavenly Emperor planned her 'death' by Tyrant Song's hands.

#### White Bone

Her Profound Saint sermon came from Eastern Great Emperor's diary **«*A Hammer Cultivator’s Cultivation Experience*»** and after she became an assistant to Eastern. From him, she learned deep Way of Hammer to the level of fighting standard Eternal Life Beings and held her stance against Kun King.

She has not seen Senior Eastern since the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court. She holds habitual skull pain from listening to Eastern's nickname, **Number One Hammer Under Heaven**.

#### Blockhead Song

Blockhead Song managed to find and open Eastern Great Emperor's secret diary and sold a part of it as a Profound Saint sermon manuscript to White Bone, earning both grudges.

#### Cheng Lin

Dongfang Pei is slightly angry with her direct hand in the destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court, but through his connections and willingness to destroy his Spring Pavilion of the East, he knows her circumstances are beyond his interference range.

### Song Shuhang

Since he met Tyrant Song, Dongfang Pei has been surprised by his unordinary connections and actions:

1. Tyrant Song knowing a nouveau riche cultivator who can casually provide spirit stone planet originated spirit stones (each diameter = 100+ meters), the planet origin type Dongfang Pei has yet to see
2. Poor Tyrant Song calmingly borrowing planet spirit stones while increasing debt
3. 2 x 33 Living Items with the definite potential to become tool spirits
4. Heavenly Way's Eye Drops + Mysterious Substance in a short time
5. Mass production of Hearts of Tyrant Song
6. Tyrant Ball addressing Tyrant Song as its 'main body'.
7. Friendship with Nine Serenities Rulers
8. Tyrant Song's Living Items are shared with White Two
9. Evil «*Raising Sabre Art*» item nurturing technique + "excessive" use possibility
10. Spiritual body division into 15+1 parts

Because of Tyrant Song's variant «*Raising Sabre Art*» possibly freeloading his items, blacksmith Dongfang Pei feared being near Tyrant Song.I nitially, Dongfang Pei wanted to study the evil art after completing the forging. As a blacksmith, Dongfang Pei treasured his tools. Therefore, he feared Tyrant Song's evil art would "love" them. It developed into a psychological fear.

He temporarily forgot Tyrant Song twice through the effects of the small black room.

## Trivia

1. Because of his socially embarrassing hammer techniques' research, Dongfang Pei's diary is securely locked up. Blockhead Song is noted to have read his diary and derived a worthy Profound Saint sermon from it.
