Recaps

The Vast Heaven Sect reforged the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual root and became a holy land, gaining the Vast Heaven Limitless Realm and its renewable Nine-Colored Spirit Stones. Chu Xinghe then tried to spend the sect’s wealth on a free Dao field and lavish hospitality, but the Civil Engineering Department’s schemes won the Dao seekers’ gratitude instead.

• Clan Head Cui brought the Cui Clan to help reforge the Haotian Mountain Range’s spiritual root, and their 10,088 Spirit Gathering Formations all succeeded despite their increasingly improvised methods.
• Chu Xinghe activated the combined formations, which produced successive phenomena culminating in the Realm of Supreme Yang, but the Heavenly Dao blocked them from drawing power from the Three Continents.
• Chu Xinghe cast the final Nine-Colored Spirit Stone into the formation, and the Misfortune Compass shattered the Heavenly Dao’s seal as five spiritual dragons established the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• The Ancient Divine Domain fused with the holy-land phenomenon to create the Vast Heaven Limitless Realm, and the Great Sage explained that its Nine-Colored Spirit Stones could regenerate if mined carefully.
• Gu Mingchao announced a Sacred Ascension Ceremony, while Chu Xinghe arranged a free Extreme Realm Heaven Stele gathering and a seventy-percent sale in hopes of consuming sect resources.
• The Vast Heaven Sect’s discounted goods sold so well that the businesses covered their losses, so Chu Xinghe made the Extreme Realm Dao Field entirely free to try again.
• Zheng Yu advanced to the Ninth Rank at the Dao field, and Chu Xinghe assigned Huang Ritian and the Civil Engineering Department to manage it and consume resources.
• Huang Ritian’s team paved the Dao field with Nine-Colored Spirit Stones and gave gifts to successful Dao seekers, who praised the Vast Heaven Sect and promised to repay its generosity.

Chu Xinghe and the Civil Engineering Department restore the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, whose illusion realm becomes a public challenge that brings Vast Heaven Sect prestige and resources. After the sect rises as Vast Heaven Holy Land and Chu Cheng becomes Holy Son, Chu Xinghe sets out to recruit seven thousand cultivators without talent or spiritual power.

• Chu Xinghe and Huang Ritian pushed resources into the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele until it erupted with light and restored its connection to the Heavenly Dao.
• Chu Xinghe arranged for Bai Jingyan to play the Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound, drawing more Dao seekers as a vortex formed around the stele.
• Chu Xinghe declined to write the Vast Heaven Holy Land plaque himself and asked Gu Mingchao to inscribe it.
• Huang Ritian showed Chu Xinghe that the stele’s illusion realm created phantoms, and Chu Xinghe opened challenges to visitors at the sect’s expense.
• Ma Liang turned the challenges into a wager, and cultivators across the Three Continents repeatedly lost to Chu Xinghe’s phantoms while the sect collected resources.
• Chu Xinghe shut down Ma Liang and Zheng Yu’s unauthorized scheme involving Zheng Yu’s phantom, then protected them from Tantai Jing’s attempt to expose them.
• Chu Xinghe tested body cultivator Peng Zhan against a phantom that could only dodge, but Peng Zhan exhausted himself without winning the ten-million-stone reward.
• Gu Mingchao announced Chu Cheng as Holy Son in place of Chu Xinghe, and Chu Xinghe later agreed because the three-year vigil would keep him from acting in the sect.
• At the Holy Land’s inauguration, the sect announced that Chu Xinghe would recruit ten thousand disciples in Haotian City, including seven thousand body cultivators with no cultivation talent.

Chu Xinghe recruited seven thousand Spiritless Physiques and introduced a safe body-cultivation path that spread across the Three Continents. As the disciples’ breakthroughs and visualization arts surpassed his expectations, Peng Zhan challenged Chu Xinghe’s phantom again and was defeated.

• Chu Xinghe persuaded Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders to recruit seven thousand Spiritless Physiques, warning that monopolizing prodigies could unite the world against them.
• Ma Liang rejected candidates who had deliberately fallen in the rankings, while Chu Xinghe selected recruits without spiritual talent and removed those who had already practiced body-cultivation methods.
• Chu Xinghe skipped the dangerous Body Tempering trial and taught the recruits his Ninth Set of Body Refining Secret Techniques, which he released to the world for free and which healed injuries and advanced cultivators.
• Chu Xinghe shifted the disciples to Blood Spirit Stones and brought in Mu Xiaoqi to teach them to relax, but Mu Xiaoqi’s Great Freedom Visualization Art instead let them cultivate Qi and blood while resting.
• The seven thousand disciples awakened Qi and blood power through visualization, and body cultivators across the Three Continents began using visualization arts to strengthen themselves and break through.
• Peng Zhan reached the Fifth Rank with the Tiger Form Visualization Method, while Chu Xinghe discovered that the Misfortune Compass had capped his own body’s potential.
• Peng Zhan challenged Chu Xinghe’s phantom again, but the phantom used Qi and blood flames to shatter him with one punch.

Chu Xinghe agreed to help Hua Xichen recover the Great Prophecy Art and protected him from assassins, prompting the Vast Heaven Holy Land to punish those responsible. They reached the world of the Well of Prophecy but faced a road that seemingly required the very art Hua Xichen had lost.

• Chu Xinghe promised to help Hua Xichen reach the Well of Prophecy and asked that they fight together to protect the Three Continents.
• Chu Xinghe redirected Wei Buhui’s spirit beast business toward new disciples and instructed the Body Cultivation disciples before leaving.
• Hua Xijun hired Tantai Jing to arrange Hua Xichen’s assassination, and Qiu Tian enlisted the Soul-Devouring Palace.
• Chu Xinghe killed the Night Demon Brothers with his Power of Qi and Blood when they attacked Hua Xichen in Bewildered Heart City.
• The Great Sage destroyed the Soul-Devouring Palace and attacked the Hua Clan until Hua Xijun and Ming were exposed, then sent their souls to Avici Hell.
• Chu Xinghe repeatedly found treasures and received inheritances while trying to follow dangerous routes through the Land of Bewildered Spirits.
• Chu Xinghe rejected the well spirit’s refusal to restore Hua Xichen’s art and blocked a river with a severed mountain peak, opening the gate to the Well of Prophecy’s world.
• The well spirit elders said Hua Xichen needed the Great Prophecy Art to cross the starlit road, and Chu Xinghe agreed with their claim that the Star Divination Art was a scam.
