Chapter Summaries

Chu Xinghe persuaded the Vast Heaven Holy Land's elders to extend support for deceased disciples' descendants to six generations and establish an intelligence network to verify requests for extra aid. After winning their approval, he privately planned to use the program to help honest descendants prosper and pursue another scheme involving awakened spirit beasts.

• Chu Xinghe proposed supporting deceased disciples' direct descendants for six generations and giving extra help to those in need.
• Elder He and other palace chiefs described cases where descendants had deceived the sect and wasted their support, leading them to oppose additional aid.
• Chu Xinghe argued that the sect should not abandon needy descendants because of fraudsters and asked Shen Chun to build an intelligence network to investigate requests.
• Shen Chun estimated the network would take three to five years to complete, and Chu Xinghe ordered him to proceed despite its cost.
• The chief elders approved Chu Xinghe's proposals, and he privately planned to help deserving descendants gain wealth through a further scheme involving awakened spirit beasts.

Chu Xinghe arranged a plan to support descendants of deceased disciples and decided to visit Ding Feng in Abyss City to judge his need for himself. Ding Feng struggled with debt and his mother’s care while holding on to the hope that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would answer his letter.

• The Grand Elder and the palace heads discussed aid for deceased disciples’ descendants, and Chu Xinghe ordered Shen Chun to prepare the plan while investigating anyone who tried to exploit it.
• Chu Xinghe decided to travel to Abyss City to see whether Ding Feng genuinely needed help.
• Ding Feng’s family had fallen into poverty over generations after their ancestor Ding Yunrun died, and Ding Feng’s inability to cultivate left him with few prospects.
• Zhang Hu threatened to dig up the Ding Clan’s ancestral grave unless Ding Feng repaid his loan, leaving Ding Feng desperate and unsure how to protect his family’s tomb.
• Ding Feng brought food home to his recovering mother, then went out to work another job while wondering whether the Vast Heaven Holy Land would answer his letter.

Ding Feng’s debt collector Zhang Hu threatened to kill him and rob his ancestor’s grave, while dismissing his appeal to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Chu Xinghe arrived just after Zhang Hu vowed to eat the pavilion’s furniture if the Holy Land helped Ding Feng, and revealed himself as the real Chu Xinghe.

• Ding Feng returned to work at the Misty Waves Pavilion, but Shopkeeper Liu warned him that Zhang Hu would retaliate if he kept him on.
• Zhang Hu brought his men to smash the pavilion and demanded that Ding Feng dig up his ancestor’s grave to repay his debt.
• Ding Feng pleaded for more time, saying he had written to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but Zhang Hu and his men mocked him and threatened him and his mother.
• Zhang Hu swore he would eat the pavilion’s tables, chairs, and stools if the Vast Heaven Holy Land helped Ding Feng, and a beam of light immediately cut the furniture into pieces.
• Chu Xinghe caught the cut-up furniture with his divine sword and challenged Zhang Hu to eat it; witnesses recognized him as the real Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe arrived at the Misty Waves Pavilion and intervened to repay Ding Feng’s debt, then punished Zhang Hu and the Zhang Clan for their threats. He ended by extending the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s support for descendants of its deceased disciples, leaving Ding Feng reassured that the sect remembered his ancestor’s sacrifice.

• Chu Xinghe entered the Misty Waves Pavilion with Ma Liang, and Ding Feng greeted him with tears of gratitude.
• Chu Xinghe had the Vast Heaven Holy Land repay Ding Feng’s debt to Zhang Hu in full.
• Chu Xinghe ordered Zhang Hu to eat the pavilion’s tables, chairs, and benches as he had promised, and directed Zhang He to make the Zhang Clan eat the remaining furniture.
• Chu Xinghe announced that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would support descendants of deceased disciples for six generations and provide appropriate help beyond that when they faced insurmountable problems.

Chu Xinghe announced that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would support the relatives of deceased disciples for six generations, prompting forces across the Three Continents to improve their own compensation policies. He then announced that the holy land would give away all its awakened spirit beasts to descendants of deceased disciples who could match with them, leaving the world stunned.

• At Misty Waves Pavilion in Abyss City, Chu Xinghe announced six generations of support for the Lineages of deceased Vast Heaven Holy Land disciples, with help still available beyond that in dire circumstances.
• The Vast Heaven Holy Land publicized the policy, and people across the Three Continents celebrated while great forces marveled at the expense.
• Cheng Xiaotian announced that Martial Emperor City would support three generations of deceased disciples' relatives, and the other Ten Great Sects followed suit.
• Forces large and small also pledged compensation for deceased disciples, as Chu Xinghe's announcement pressured them to improve their treatment of disciples.
• Chu Xinghe announced that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would give away all its awakened spirit beasts to eligible descendants of deceased disciples, shocking the Three Continents.

Chu Xinghe’s decision to give away all the awakened spirit beasts stunned the Demon Star Continent and the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Gu Mingchao learned that the elders had made major decisions without properly informing him, then joined them in waiting to see what Chu Xinghe would do.

• The Wolf King enjoyed his newfound bargaining power as the Demon Star Continent prospered from raising awakened spirit beasts and partnering exclusively with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Chu Xinghe announced that the awakened spirit beasts would be given away, leaving the Wolf King, the wider world, and the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders bewildered.
• At Haotian Palace, Gu Mingchao discovered that everyone assumed he had attended the meeting at Spirit Crane Palace where the six-generation provision was discussed.
• Shen Chun admitted he might have forgotten to invite Gu Mingchao, accepted the Grand Elder’s punishment, and went to face the wall.
• After the Grand Elder explained the meeting and Chu Xinghe’s plan, Gu Mingchao declared that they should wait and see.

Chu Xinghe gave away the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s awakened spirit beasts to provide descendants of deceased disciples with a chance to become summoners, while selecting recipients by character. He rejected the Misfortune Compass’s shortcut to power and left the spirit beasts distributed across the Demon Star Continent.

• The major factions and Tantai Jing were bewildered when Chu Xinghe announced that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would give away its awakened spirit beasts instead of selling them.
• After meeting Ding Feng in Abyss City, Chu Xinghe decided to use the spirit beasts to give descendants of deceased disciples new hope.
• Chu Xinghe ordered all awakened spirit beasts on the Demon Star Continent gathered and sent out, leaving Senior Brother Shen Chun to choose suitable recipients based on character rather than talent or cultivation.
• Chu Xinghe reflected that the Misfortune Compass could help him gain power by abandoning his conscience, but he refused to take that path.

Chu Xinghe prepared to give Ding Feng a powerful Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, convinced that Ding Feng’s supposedly incurable Innate Defective Physique would help him defeat the Misfortune Compass. He ended the chapter confident that investing in Ding Feng would make him fall into exactly the pit he wanted.

• Chu Xinghe reflected that he could gain power by committing evil but had chosen to resist the Misfortune Compass and keep his principles.
• Ma Liang brought Chu Xinghe the valuable, mutated Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, which Chu Xinghe refused to sell because he had prepared it for Ding Feng.
• Ma Liang questioned Chu Xinghe’s choice because Ding Feng had an Innate Defective Physique that devoured spiritual power and prevented cultivation.
• Chu Xinghe consulted the concept gods, who confirmed that no amount of resources could overcome Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique.
• Chu Xinghe decided that Ding Feng’s inability to cultivate made him a promising target for resource investment and remained sure he could not lose.

Chu Xinghe made Ding Feng, whose Innate Defective Physique prevented him from cultivating, a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and gave him the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros. The beast’s power strengthened Ding Feng without raising his cultivation, while news of Chu Xinghe’s shocking decision spread across the Three Continents.

• Ma Liang questioned Chu Xinghe’s decision to give the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, but Chu Xinghe welcomed the prospect of wasting resources on Ding Feng’s defective physique.
• Chu Xinghe recruited Ding Feng into the Vast Heaven Holy Land and reassured him that his unusual power had a purpose.
• Chu Xinghe personally completed the ritual making Ding Feng the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros’s master.
• Ding Feng gained physical and mental benefits from the beast but showed no increase in cultivation, confirming Chu Xinghe’s expectations.
• News of the match spread across the Three Continents, astonishing the people who had hoped to obtain the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros for themselves.

Chu Xinghe’s gift of the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, who was born with a useless physique, baffled the Three Continents and prompted Zheng Yu to search for others like him. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord’s division faced ruin from the Taiyang Progenitor Puppet’s losses, until the Witch Curse Evil Lord revealed an object that might let them kill Chu Xinghe.

• Chu Xinghe’s gift to Ding Feng became a sensation, and Zheng Yu sent stewards across the Three Continents to find people born with useless physiques.
• Wu Man reported Chu Xinghe’s actions to the Evil Lords, while the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord demanded that Vast Heaven Holy Land accept his division’s surrender.
• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord launched a resource-plundering war after the Taiyang Progenitor Puppet’s shipments left his division nearly destitute.
• The White Spirit Evil Lord proposed that the other divisions share the cost of supporting the Heavenly Secrets Evil Spirits, and they agreed to contribute resources.
• The Heart-Devouring Evil Lord argued that killing Chu Xinghe would solve their problems, and the Witch Curse Evil Lord appeared with an object that seemed capable of doing so.

The Witch Curse Evil Lord revealed a plot to lure the Wolf King into the Demon God's Arm Bone and draw Chu Xinghe into its spirit-suppressing world. Man Ben first refused to fight Chu Xinghe, but agreed once he learned that the Mighty Savage Evil Spirits would attack together.

• The Witch Curse Evil Lord showed the Evil Lords the Demon God's Arm Bone, a relic containing the first Demon God's power and resentment.
• The Witch Curse Evil Lord explained that the Wolf King would be trapped inside the bone's small world, forcing Chu Xinghe to enter and rescue him.
• The Evil Lords planned to exploit the small world's spirit suppression and send Mighty Savage Evil Spirits prodigies through a back door to attack Chu Xinghe.
• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord summoned Man Ben, who objected that he was being sent to his death and joked about being his master's flesh-and-blood disciple.
• Man Ben admitted he feared facing Chu Xinghe even in the spirit-suppressing world, but agreed to the plan after learning that all the young Mighty Savage Evil Spirits would hunt Chu Xinghe together.

The Evil Shadow Continent arranged to gang up on Chu Xinghe, while Chu Xinghe focused on using Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique to consume resources. When Chu Xinghe tried to buy another person with the same physique from Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu refused even an offer of two Spirit Crane Palaces, leaving the Three Continents baffled by the old man’s apparent value.

• Man Ben agreed to join the Evil Lords’ plan to overwhelm Chu Xinghe, and the Strength Barbarian Evil Lord ordered him to gather qualified fighters.
• The Witch Curse Evil Lord sent the Demon God's Arm Bone to Wu Man, who waited at the Vast Heaven Holy Land for the Wolf King to arrive.
• Chu Xinghe returned with Ding Feng and confirmed that Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique suppressed the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros’s spiritual power while allowing him to absorb spirit stones without effect.
• Huang Ritian urged Chu Xinghe to find more people with Innate Defective Physiques, so Chu Xinghe asked Shen Chun to search for them.
• Shen Chun told Chu Xinghe that Zheng Yu had found a seventy-year-old man with the same physique, and Chu Xinghe offered Zheng Yu resources worth two Spirit Crane Palaces to buy him.
• Zheng Yu refused the offer and ordered his alchemists to cure the old man and extend his life, while Cheng Xiaotian and people across the Three Continents marveled at the refusal.

Zheng Yu refused Chu Xinghe’s offer of two Spirit Crane Palaces for the old man with an Innate Defective Physique, convinced that backing Chu Xinghe would bring him a fortune. Chu Xinghe left the deal for later, arranged to monitor Zheng Yu, and was then challenged by the Wolf King over why he had chosen the old man for the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros.

• Zheng Yu reflected that he had found one of the only two people with an Innate Defective Physique after searching widely, and believed the old man was worth more than Chu Xinghe’s offer.
• Cheng Xiaotian explained to Zheng Yu that poverty kept many talented ordinary people from cultivating, while Chu Xinghe’s Body Cultivation technique helped reveal talent across the Three Continents.
• Chu Xinghe gave up trying to persuade Zheng Yu to sell the old man for now and told Shen Chun to monitor Zheng Yu and buy the man if Zheng Yu changed his mind.
• Chu Xinghe returned to the Civil Engineering Department, where the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable complained that Ding Feng absorbed resources too slowly and wanted to use the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
• The Wolf King, Ming Han, asked Chu Xinghe why he had chosen someone with an Innate Defective Physique for the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, and Chu Xinghe admitted he could not figure it out himself.

Chu Xinghe learned that the Wolf King needed the resource-intensive Mystic God Ascension Array to break through to Half-Step Main God, and summoned the White Tiger Holy Venerable to help. White Tiger identified the array as the dangerous Fate Mark Array, whose caster could steal the Wolf King's fortune and stunt his future cultivation.

• Chu Xinghe defended giving the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, while the Wolf King accepted his explanation.
• The Wolf King revealed that he had reached Peak Mystic God but lacked the resources to set up the Mystic God Ascension Array and asked Chu Xinghe and White Tiger Holy Venerable for help.
• Chu Xinghe claimed the Wolf King's opportunity had arrived and summoned White Tiger Holy Venerable to the Spirit Crane Palace.
• White Tiger Holy Venerable identified the Mystic God Ascension Array as the Fate Mark Array and explained that its caster could take the participant's power and fortune.
• The Wolf King realized the array might explain why the Wolf Clan had never produced another Main God, despite its ancestor's breakthrough.

White Tiger explained that the Mystic God Ascension Array could steal luck and permanently weaken its user, but his modifications removed those drawbacks at the cost of an extremely low success rate. Just as the Wolf King gave up on the risky breakthrough, Wu Man arrived with a former Demon God's arm bone to help him reach Half-Step Main God.

• The Wolf King realized the Demon God might have stolen the luck of past array users, preventing them from advancing to Main God.
• White Tiger warned Ming Han that the array's sacrifice permanently weakened users and made further breakthroughs nearly impossible.
• White Tiger revealed that his modified array could avoid the sacrifice by using more resources, but had less than a ten percent chance of success.
• The Wolf King refused to risk the Wolf Clan's resources, while Chu Xinghe insisted that the Wolf King's time and fate had arrived.
• Wu Man requested an audience and offered the Wolf King a former Demon God's arm bone to aid his breakthrough.

Wu Man offered Wolf King the first-generation Demon God's arm bone as a chance to break through to the Half-Step Main God realm, leaving Chu Xinghe amazed by Wu Man's continued contributions to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. The chapter ended with Wu Man warning that the bone's power could trap Wolf King forever in a spirit-sealing world.

• Wu Man entered with the first-generation Demon God's arm bone, and White Tiger and Wolf King recognized its immense demonic power.
• Wolf King realized the arm bone was the opportunity Chu Xinghe had predicted, while White Tiger explained how Wu Man had repeatedly helped build up the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Wolf King took the arm bone and confirmed it contained the first-generation Demon God's inheritance.
• Wu Man warned Wolf King that the Demon God's resentment had formed a spirit-sealing world inside the bone that could trap him forever.

Wu Man explained why he had warned the Wolf King about the Demon God's Arm Bone, hoping to avoid blame and survive whichever way the trap unfolded. After Vast Heaven Holy Land's leaders confirmed the bone's dangers, the Wolf King faced a choice between using it, waiting, or attempting the Fate Mark Array.

• Wu Man explained that he had disclosed the Demon God's Arm Bone's dangers to protect himself, while believing the Wolf King might risk using it for its power and inheritance.
• White Tiger brought the Wolf King, Chu Xinghe, and Wu Man to Haotian Palace and summoned Vast Heaven Holy Land's leaders.
• Elder He and the Great Sage identified the bone's resentment and warned that it could seal the Wolf King's spiritual power and trap him.
• The Wolf King defended Wu Man, and White Tiger confirmed that Wu Man had warned him beforehand, easing the leaders' suspicions.
• Gu Mingchao advised the Wolf King to avoid the bone and wait, while Chu Xinghe considered steering him toward the Fate Mark Array.
• The Wolf King was left to choose between the Demon God's Arm Bone, waiting, and the Fate Mark Array.

The Wolf King left the Demon God's Arm Bone at Vast Heaven Holy Land so Elder He and the Great Sage could investigate its resentment, while Chu Xinghe considered ways to help him reach the Half-Step Main God realm. When the usual methods failed, Elder He suggested bringing Wu Erke from Wujiang to use his Power of Void, and Chu Xinghe eagerly looked for Ma Liang to fetch the great inventor.

• The Wolf King agreed to leave the Demon God's Arm Bone at Vast Heaven Holy Land while Elder He and the Great Sage studied how to remove its resentment.
• The Grand Elder promoted Wu Man to a high-ranking outer sect disciple for offering up the bone, and Zang Ling concluded that Wu Man had truly defected.
• The Great Sage proposed having Demon Race members absorb the resentment, but Chu Xinghe and Elder He objected to the mass deaths it would require.
• Elder He suggested using Wu Erke's Power of Void to devour the resentment, though maintaining it would require an enormous amount of resources.
• Chu Xinghe realized the plan could consume vast resources and called for Ma Liang to go to Wujiang and bring Wu Erke.

Chu Xinghe sent Ma Liang to Wuj iang to bring Wu Erke and his Power of Void to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, hoping the power could consume the Demon God's resentment. Ma Liang reached Wu Erke after repeatedly bouncing off West Ridge's round-trip teleportation array, but found the inventor strangely dejected.

• Chu Xinghe learned from Shen Chun that Wu Erke's Power of Void devoured resources without leaving anything behind, and decided it might also consume the Wolf King's resentment.
• Chu Xinghe sent Ma Liang to Wuj iang to fetch Wu Erke, and Ma Liang repeatedly returned to his starting point because West Ridge's teleportation arrays forced travelers back.
• Jiuli explained that Wu Erke's Round-Trip Teleportation Array could only be broken by a master on the Great Elder's level, so Ma Liang traveled to the border and entered West Ridge on foot.
• Wuj iang's disciples recognized Ma Liang and took him to Wu Erke's laboratory, where Ma Liang saw that the area had been stripped bare by the Power of Void.
• Ma Liang found Wu Erke looking dejected and wondered whether the great inventor had already become a wreck.

Wu Erke's repeated invention failures left him too ashamed to accept Chu Xinghe's summons, despite his admiration for Chu Xinghe's achievements. After Ma Liang returned alone, Chu Xinghe sent him back with an invitation to create the future together.

• Wu Erke admired Chu Xinghe for pioneering Body Cultivation and opening the summoner's path, but doubted his own abilities after exhausting resources without producing successful inventions.
• Ma Liang invited Wu Erke to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but Wu Erke refused because he believed he had disappointed Chu Xinghe.
• Ma Liang decided against forcibly taking Wu Erke and returned alone to report his refusal.
• Chu Xinghe learned that Wu Erke would not come, frustrating his plan to have Wu Erke consume the resources he had prepared.
• Chu Xinghe instructed Ma Liang to return and tell Wu Erke that he needed help with troubles beyond the Demon God's Arm Bone and wanted to create the future together.
