Chapter Summaries

The Vast Heaven Sect and the Demonic Sect were baffled when Yuan Ying’s Black Demon Cloth became harmless Spirit Pattern Cloth after reaching Chu Xinghe’s sect, while it still caused Qi deviation among Demonic Sect disciples. Meanwhile, Hua Xizhong gathered information in Winding Water City and prepared for the Spirit Beast Continent’s arrival, confident that Hua Xichen’s Great Prophecy Art would surpass Chu Xinghe’s Star Divination Art.

• The Grand Elder had Hu Wenhai inspect Yuan Ying’s huge gift of Spirit Pattern Cloth, then approved upgrading it and making disciple robes for the Dark Moon Clan to test.
• Hu Wenhai found that the robes harmed no one, and Chu Xinghe despaired when the Grand Elder told him Yuan Ying’s gift had caused no trouble.
• News of Yuan Ying’s gift spread, baffling the Wolf King Ming Han and enraging the Ape Clan, while Wu Xingyun questioned Yuan Ying’s loyalty to the Demonic Sect.
• Yuan Ying tested another batch of Black Demon Cloth on Demonic Sect disciples, who suffered Qi deviation, and Wu Xingyun refused to let him send more cloth to the Vast Heaven Sect.
• Hua Xizhong continued gathering intelligence in Winding Water City and believed Hua Xichen’s Great Prophecy Art would surpass Chu Xinghe’s Star Divination Art when the Spirit Beast Continent arrived.

Hua Xizhong reported Blazing Sun Continent’s situation to the Spirit Beast Continent clan heads, who ordered him to investigate the Vast Heaven Sect by infiltrating its Demonic Sect opponents. He discovered that the Demonic Sect ran legitimate businesses and joined it as a courier for Demon Demon Express.

• Hua Xizhong used Spirit-Communing Incense to tell the four clan heads that Blazing Sun Continent and Demon Star Continent had merged and that the Human Race and Demon Race lived in peace.
• The four clan heads dismissed the Star Divination Art, learned that the Vast Heaven Sect was Blazing Sun Continent’s strongest power, and told Hua Xizhong to assess it through its opponents.
• Hua Xizhong asked people about the Vast Heaven Sect’s Demonic Sect opponents, but they said the sect was effectively its own opponent.
• Hua Xizhong learned that the Demonic Sect ran services such as Momo Queueing Service, Momo Delivery Service, and Demon Demon Express, and that its members made their living through work.
• Hua Xizhong joined the Demonic Sect and became a courier for Demon Demon Express.

Hua Xizhong joined the Demonic Sect expecting to uncover its sinister operations, but instead he was assigned delivery work and then hired as a sparring partner. After deciding the sect was too weak to help him assess the Vast Heaven Sect, he tried to scout its vice sect master and discovered a terrifying gap in their strength.

• Hua Xizhong delivered packages for Demon Demon Express and received his first wages, but he remained convinced the work concealed the Demonic Sect's true purpose.
• After Hua Xizhong displayed some of his strength, the Demonic Sect assigned him to Demon Demon Personal Training as a sparring partner for a wealthy young master.
• Hua Xizhong's senior brothers explained that the Demonic Sect had become too weak to behave as it once had and feared punishment from the Vast Heaven Sect.
• Hua Xizhong decided to leave, but first sent his Eighth Rank Jade Blood Mosquito to scout Yuan Ying, the Demonic Shadow Sect's vice sect master.
• Yuan Ying casually clapped the mosquito to death, and Hua Xizhong sensed that the vice sect master was a Half-Step Mystic God before collapsing in terror.

After Hua Xizhong discovered that the Demonic Sect’s deputy sect master was a half-step Mystic God, he warned the four clan heads, who abandoned their plan to plunder the Blazing Sun Continent and ordered him to investigate the Vast Heaven Sect. He reached Haotian City and learned that the sect offered public one-day tours, giving him an unexpected way to investigate it.

• Hua Xizhong escaped after the half-step Mystic God deputy sect master killed his Jade Blood Mosquito, leaving him badly injured.
• Hua Xizhong told the four clan heads what he had witnessed, and they scrapped their plundering plan in favor of peaceful coexistence with the Blazing Sun Continent.
• The four clan heads ordered Hua Xizhong to investigate the Vast Heaven Sect, so he traveled toward Haotian City despite his injuries and lost cultivation rank.
• In Haotian City, Hua Xizhong encountered guides offering one-day tours of the Vast Heaven Sect and was stunned that outsiders could enter.
• A guide explained that Chu Xinghe had established monthly open days, allowing visitors to tour nearly the entire Vast Heaven Sect and leaving many spies despairing after seeing its strength.

Hua Xizhong, a spy, joined a Vast Heaven Sect spy tour expecting a trap, but found the sect openly welcoming spies and sharing its secrets. The tour entered the sect, where Hua Xizhong took notes and doubted the Ouyang Lineage’s reputation as artifact refiners.

• Hua Xizhong signed up for a discounted spy tour after a guide identified him as a spy and assured him the Vast Heaven Sect welcomed them.
• Hua Xizhong spent the night expecting to be arrested, then joined the tour led by Little Wang, who promised to answer the spies’ questions.
• Little Wang introduced the mountain gate’s Bear Clan guards, including Xiong Feng and the Half-Step Mystic God Old Bear King, and encouraged the spies to take pictures.
• The tour entered the Vast Heaven Sect, and Hua Xizhong borrowed paper and a brush to record the information Little Wang shared about its palaces.
• Little Wang praised Ouyang Ming and the Ouyang Lineage’s divine weapons, while Hua Xizhong privately questioned whether their artifact refining could rival the Hua Family Clan’s.

Hua Xizhong toured the Vast Heaven Sect with Guide Little Wang and was stunned by its extravagant divine weapons and enormous spirit fields. He insisted he could withstand any bloody spectacle, but fainted during the Dark Moon Palace’s mutual slashing tournament.

• Hua Xizhong learned that the Ouyang Lineage used the Light of Xinghe to cut and chill fruit, while the scouts warned him that Ouyang Ling was more terrifying than a Mystic God.
• Guide Little Wang showed Hua Xizhong the Vast Heaven Sect’s vast spirit fields, including uncultivated land that had already been converted into top-grade fields.
• Hua Xizhong refused to buy a blood-fainting pill, boasting that his Spirit Race warrior’s life among blood and battle had made him fearless.
• Hua Xizhong entered the Dark Moon Palace during a mutual slashing tournament and fainted within half a minute.
• Little Wang and the others revived Hua Xizhong with aid and shock-soothing powder as he foamed at the mouth.

Hua Xizhong survived a tour of the Vast Heaven Sect, where the Dark Moon Clan’s gruesome death rituals and the outer sect’s overwhelming powers left him stunned. He watched Ma Liang lose a sparring match to the White Tiger Holy Venerable, then learned the White Tiger had repeatedly lost to Chu Cheng.

• Hua Xizhong fainted during a visit to the Dark Moon Palace after witnessing the Dark Moon Clan dissect and revive one another, and tour guide Little Wang helped him recover.
• Little Wang explained that the Dark Moon Clan loved dying, then guided Hua Xizhong past the Haotian Palace and other sites in the Vast Heaven Sect.
• At the outer sect, Ma Liang appeared with a host of powerful Ancient Specters, frightening Hua Xizhong before Little Wang identified him as an outer sect disciple.
• The White Tiger Holy Venerable fought Ma Liang and defeated him with formations that countered the Ancient Specters.
• Ma Liang taunted the White Tiger for losing to Chu Cheng, leaving Hua Xizhong shocked.

Chu Cheng provoked the White Tiger Holy Venerable until White Tiger sought out Chu Youcai and lost again, while Hua Xizhong’s tour of the Vast Heaven Sect alarmed the Spirit Beast Continent’s clan heads. Convinced they could not face the Blazing Sun Continent alone, the clan heads decided to seek an alliance with the Demon Star Continent and sent Hua Xizhong to meet Ming Han.

• Chu Cheng taunted the White Tiger Holy Venerable during their daily sparring, and White Tiger later visited Chu Youcai but lost to him as well.
• At the end of the Vast Heaven Sect tour, Little Wang criticized Hua Xizhong’s faction for treating him poorly, leaving Hua Xizhong in tears.
• Hua Xizhong showed the four clan heads his tour memories, and they grew alarmed by the Vast Heaven Sect’s power and considered sealing the Spirit Communication Pagoda.
• Hua Xizhong called the white dog the White Tiger Holy Venerable a country bumpkin’s mistake, but Clan Head Ming knew the dog really was White Tiger and feared what other legendary beings might be at the Vast Heaven Sect.
• The four clan heads decided to ally with the Demon Star Continent against the Human Race, and they assigned Hua Xizhong to meet the Wolf King, Ming Han.

After the Demon Star and Blazing Sun Continents integrated peacefully, Hua Xizhong arrived from the returning Spirit Beast Continent and offered the Wolf King an alliance against humanity. The Wolf King brought him to the Vast Heaven Sect, where the Beast God awoke upon hearing that the Spirit Beast Continent had returned.

• The Wolf King Ming Han oversaw the growing trade and cooperation between humans and demons after the continents merged.
• Hua Xizhong told Ming Han that the Spirit Beast Continent would soon arrive and proposed that its rulers ally with the Demon Race against the Human Race.
• Ming Han had Hua Xizhong bound and took him through a teleportation array to the Vast Heaven Sect.
• The Grand Elder, Gu Mingchao, Chu Xinghe, and other leaders gathered in the Haotian Grand Hall to meet Ming Han and hear his news.
• Ming Han announced that Hua Xizhong came from the Spirit Beast Continent, and the Beast God awoke, thrilled that his continent had returned.

The ten great sects discussed the arrival of the Spirit Beast Continent and the powerful techniques its Beast God Spirit Temples could offer. Chu Xinghe decided to send Vast Heaven Sect disciples to the temples so their sacrifices would benefit him, while Elder He unexpectedly identified Hua Xizhong’s route to the continent.

• The Beast God awakened and began recovering as power from the returning Spirit Beast Continent nourished his soul.
• Elder He explained that spirit beasts could learn powerful arts in Beast God Spirit Temples, though humans and demons had to sacrifice resources to enter.
• Chu Xinghe resolved to send every Vast Heaven Sect disciple to the temples, hoping their sacrifices would benefit him.
• The Beast God confirmed that other races had to pay to learn the temple arts and that he could not change the rules.
• Hua Xizhong prepared to resist questioning, but Elder He asked whether he had come through the Spirit Communication Pagoda.

Elder He used his Eye of Charm to uncover Hua Xizhong’s route to the Blazing Sun Continent and locate the Spirit Communication Pagoda beneath Spirit Beast Island. After contacting the Spirit Beast Continent’s four clan heads, the leaders of the continents began their first exchange since their separation.

• Elder He questioned Hua Xizhong and inferred that the Spirit Beast Continent had used the fourth method to send him through the Spirit Communication Pagoda.
• Elder He read Hua Xizhong’s reactions and deduced that the pagoda was beneath Spirit Beast Island.
• The Great Sage identified Elder He’s method as the Eye of Charm, and Elder He explained that he had stopped using it after misjudging Chu Xinghe.
• Elder He learned details about the Spirit Beast Continent from Hua Xizhong’s expressions, then used the Spirit-Communing Incense to contact its four clan heads.
• The four clan heads appeared in the incense smoke, and the leaders of the continents began their first exchange since the continents were separated.

The Blazing Sun Continent and Demon Star Continent persuaded the Spirit Beast Continent not to seal the Spirit Communication Pagoda, warning that they would need to unite against the Evil Shadow Continent. The sides agreed to open the pagoda and let their younger generations compete for its treasures, while the Spirit Beast clan heads expected Hua Xichen to secure their victory.

• The four Spirit Beast clan heads assumed the other continents intended to invade, and Gu Mingchao explained that the Human Race and Demon Race wanted cooperation against the Evil Shadow Continent.
• The Wolf King warned that sealing the Spirit Communication Pagoda would leave the Spirit Beast Continent isolated if the Evil Shadow Continent attacked.
• Clan Head Hua explained that both sides had to clear six mirrored trials to undo the pagoda's seals and proposed that all its resources go to the Spirit Beast Continent.
• Elder He and the others rejected Hua's demand, reassuring the clan heads that the Human Race and Demon Race sought equal terms; both sides agreed that each would keep whatever resources it won.
• The sides agreed that only younger fighters would enter the unstable pagoda, then ended the communication and set an opening date.
• The Spirit Beast clan heads praised Clan Head Hua's plan and trusted that Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art would make him unbeatable.

The factions prepared for the Spirit Communication Pagoda’s trial, while Chu Xinghe eagerly hoped the legendary Great Prophecy Art would make him lose. Hua Xichen, its famed wielder and leader of the Spirit Beast Continent’s young geniuses, divined the coming battle and discovered that he was destined to suffer defeat.

• News of the Spirit Communication Pagoda and the Evil Shadow Continent spread, prompting factions to prepare their young disciples for the trial.
• Elder He and the Great Sage warned Chu Xinghe that Hua Xichen’s Great Prophecy Art could outmatch his Star Divination Art, while Chu Xinghe secretly welcomed the prospect of losing.
• Hua Xichen’s rise from a mistress’s son to the Hua Clan’s young lord was recounted, along with his record of using the Great Prophecy Art to defeat every challenger.
• Hua Xichen gathered the Spirit Beast Continent’s young geniuses for the trial and asked the Great Prophecy Art to predict the outcome.
• Hua Xichen saw that the coming battle would end in defeat and reacted with disbelief.

Hua Xichen repeatedly foresaw defeat with the Great Prophecy Art but remained confident as the Spirit Communication Pagoda appeared, connecting the Blazing Sun Continent and the Spirit Beast Continent. At the meeting between the continents, Empress Ji Ya recognized the Blazing Sun Continent’s overwhelming strength, while Hua Xichen was unsettled by the younger generation’s obvious respect for Chu Xinghe.

• Hua Xichen repeatedly used the Great Prophecy Art and saw predictions of defeat, but insisted he could still change the outcome.
• Experts from across the world gathered on Spirit Beast Island as the Spirit Communication Pagoda emerged and connected to the Spirit Beast Continent.
• Gu Mingchao and the other Blazing Sun Continent experts entered the pagoda, where they met the Spirit Beast Continent’s leaders and younger generation across the barrier.
• Empress Ji Ya sensed that Gu Mingchao was a peak Mystic God and recognized that the Spirit Beast Continent could not win a direct conflict, making peace its best option.
• Hua Xichen watched the Blazing Sun Continent’s younger generation give Chu Xinghe the foremost position and wondered how completely they had submitted to him.

Chu Xinghe hoped the Spirit Beast Continent's first-floor contest would leave him free to slack off, but Guo Qizhen was chosen to face Ning Jihong in the Qimen Dunjia trial. As Ning Jihong neared the Spirit Eye and Guo Qizhen remained lost inside the illusion, Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art kept predicting defeat for him against Chu Xinghe.

• Chu Xinghe was pushed to the front of the Blazing Sun Continent's group while Hua Xichen secretly used the Great Prophecy Art and received repeated predictions of defeat.
• Empress Ji Ya explained that the first floor's Qimen Illusion Realm required contestants to find and break its Spirit Eye, and the faster side would win its resources.
• Guo Qizhen was selected as the Blazing Sun Continent's only young practitioner with Qimen Dunjia training, while the Spirit Beast Continent chose the skilled Ning Jihong.
• Chu Xinghe reassured Guo Qizhen so bluntly about the massive resources at stake that he increased the pressure on him.
• Ning Jihong and Guo Qizhen entered the Qimen Illusion Realm; Guo Qizhen became lost near the entrance while Ning Jihong broke through formations and approached the Spirit Eye.
• Hua Xichen used the Great Prophecy Art again and received another prediction that he would lose to Chu Xinghe.

Ning Jihong broke the first level of the Spirit Communication Pagoda’s Qimen illusion realm, winning the first contest for the Spirit Beast Continent and sending its sealed resources to the continent. The second contest was announced as a spiritual formation challenge, and Hua Xichen invoked the Great Prophecy Art to face Chu Xinghe’s Innate Formation Mastery.

• Ning Jihong broke the spiritual eye, shattered the Qimen illusion realm, and won the first contest for the Spirit Beast Continent.
• The first level’s Spiritual Qi, resources, and rare treasures flowed to the three continents and the Spirit Beast Continent, whose people celebrated Ning Jihong as a hero.
• Chu Xinghe comforted the defeated Guo Qizhen, while Hua Xichen remained baffled that the Great Prophecy Art predicted his loss despite the Spirit Beast Continent’s victory.
• Empress Ji Ya announced that the second contest would test spiritual formations, prompting the Blazing Sun Continent’s leaders to expect Chu Xinghe to win easily.
• Hua Xichen stepped forward and used the Great Prophecy Art to challenge Chu Xinghe’s Innate Formation Mastery.

Chu Xinghe entered the second floor of the Spirit Communication Pagoda to face Hua Xichen, whose Great Prophecy Art could supposedly reveal the answers to its formations. After the Beast God secretly gave him false information about the floor, Chu Xinghe deliberately followed it to a black vortex, which the Beast God knew was actually a shortcut that cleared every formation.

• Elder He explained that Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art might let him know the answers to formations in advance, making him a dangerous opponent for Chu Xinghe.
• The Beast God sent Chu Xinghe information about the second floor, believing it was false guidance that would help the Spirit Beast Continent defeat him.
• Chu Xinghe decided to use the Beast God's information to find the worst route and lose, then headed away from the visible spirit formations.
• Chu Xinghe entered the black vortex, which the Beast God had falsely described as a deadly trap.
• The Beast God panicked because the black vortex was actually a shortcut that broke every spirit formation on the second floor at once.

Chu Xinghe broke through the Spirit Communication Pagoda’s second floor by spotting a hidden route through the formations, defeating Hua Xichen before he could use the Great Prophecy Art. The third floor was revealed to be the Labyrinth of the Heavens, and Chu Xinghe was stunned by news that seemed to make winning even easier.

• Hua Xichen activated the Great Prophecy Art, but Chu Xinghe broke the second-floor formations and claimed the resources for the Blazing Sun Continent before Hua could predict the result.
• Ling Mou realized that the black vortex was the hidden gate of life, and the formation masters praised Chu Xinghe for finding the route.
• Chu Xinghe cursed the silent Beast God for warning him away from the vortex, while the Beast God accused Chu Xinghe of knowingly taking the shortcut and humiliating him.
• Hua Xichen lost on the Spirit Beast Continent, and Empress Ji Ya reassured him that the third floor’s Labyrinth of the Heavens had no shortcuts and favored his Great Prophecy Art.
• The Blazing Sun Continent learned that the third floor was the Labyrinth of the Heavens, leaving its people shocked and Chu Xinghe nearly fainting before exciting news arrived.

Chu Xinghe chose Ji Moran to accompany him through the Labyrinth of the Heavens, hoping Ji Moran’s bad luck would finally let him lose. Hua Xichen entered with Ming Chenghai and revealed he planned to use the Great Prophecy Art to predict the route Chu Xinghe took, leaving the contest poised between their different divination arts.

• After learning two people could enter the third floor, Chu Xinghe brought Ji Moran along despite Ji Moran’s protests.
• Chu Xinghe told Ji Moran to choose their route through the Labyrinth of the Heavens and privately hoped his bad luck would trap them.
• Hua Xichen entered the labyrinth with Ming Chenghai, whom he trusted to follow his lead.
• Hua Xichen explained that Chu Xinghe’s Star Divination Art could lock onto the right path through fortune, while the Great Prophecy Art could repeatedly predict the route.
• Hua Xichen said he would use the Great Prophecy Art to foresee the path Chu Xinghe and Ji Moran took, intending to stay one step ahead.

Hua Xichen used the Great Prophecy Art to predict Chu Xinghe’s route through the Labyrinth of the Heavens, while Chu Xinghe relied on Ji Moran’s terrible luck to keep circling. Both teams became trapped in an absurd endurance contest, and neither side had reached the exit after a day and a night.

• Hua Xichen explained to Ming Chenghai that he could use the Great Prophecy Art to predict Chu Xinghe’s route and stay one step ahead.
• Chu Xinghe followed Ji Moran through repeated loops in the labyrinth, while Hua Xichen mirrored their route using his predictions.
• Observers on both continents watched the teams circle the same intersections and wondered why their arts had failed to guide them out.
• Hua Xichen decided Chu Xinghe was deliberately looping to disrupt his strategy and resolved to persevere until Chu Xinghe gave up.
• Ji Moran repeatedly vomited from the circling, while Ming Chenghai begged Hua Xichen to stop; Hua Xichen insisted that quitting would mean losing.
• After a day and a night, both teams had circled the entrance intersection around a hundred times without escaping.
