Chapter Summaries

Liu Bo sought help for his dying grandmother after Zhao Taixing found that Mu Bai’s pill was healing her while another force harmed her. With little time left, Liu Bo brought Palace Master Wu Qun from Star City, and Wu Qun stabilized her with the Rejuvenation Finger.

• Zhao Taixing examined Liu Bo’s grandmother and found that Mu Bai’s pill was repairing her body while an unknown force continued damaging it.
• Zhao Taixing warned that the old woman could survive for only half an hour, leaving Liu Bo unable to fetch Mu Bai from the Vast Heaven Holy Land in time.
• Wei Deqian told Liu Bo that Palace Master Wu Qun was staying in Star City, and Liu Bo hurried to the Hundred Herbs Garden with Luo Ying’er’s help.
• Wu Qun agreed to help and raced back with Liu Bo, arriving in his sleepwear as the Liu Lineage waited anxiously.
• Wu Qun used the Rejuvenation Finger to stabilize Liu Bo’s grandmother’s breathing.

Palace Master Wu Qun discovered that everyone in Star City had been poisoned by hidden corpse poison, and he secretly planned to distribute antidotes while keeping the poisoners from fleeing. Liu Bo informed Chu Xinghe, whose reaction suggested he saw the crisis as another opportunity to obtain Eighth-Rank detoxification pills.

• Wu Qun used the Rejuvenation Finger to stabilize Liu Bo's grandmother and determined that a pill had caused the dormant poison in her body to erupt.
• Wu Qun explained that corpse poison had infected nearly everyone in Star City and that it worsened existing illnesses, leading to a surge in deaths.
• Wu Qun gave Liu Bo's grandmother a detoxification pill and said he would quietly add antidote to Star City's water sources to avoid alarming the poisoners.
• Liu Bo agreed to warn Chu Xinghe but not summon him to Star City, then contacted him through his disciple token.
• Chu Xinghe heard Liu Bo's report and thought about getting Eighth-Rank detoxification pills to cure the poison.

Chu Xinghe refused to help Liu Bo investigate the poisoning in Star City, while Palace Master Wu Qun cured the city and left to keep the culprits guessing. After Liu Bo failed to find the poisoners, Ma Liang interpreted Chu Xinghe’s remark about corpse poison as a clue and urged Liu Bo to act on it.

• Liu Bo told Chu Xinghe that Palace Master Wu Qun had handled the poisoning, and Chu Xinghe hung up when Liu Bo asked for advice about finding the poisoners.
• The Liu Lineage concealed the news about Old Madam Liu as Liu Bo questioned visitors, but five days of investigation yielded no leads.
• Palace Master Wu Qun cured Star City by treating its water, then left and advised Liu Bo to watch the water sources so the poisoners might strike again.
• Liu Bo found no poisoners at the water sources and failed to reach Chu Xinghe, who answered his call with a fake message that he was outside the service area.
• Liu Bo asked Ma Liang for help, and Ma Liang interpreted Chu Xinghe’s remark about corpse poison as a hint to search corpses rather than water sources.
• Ma Liang told Liu Bo that Chu Xinghe had deliberately given him a chance to prove himself, and Liu Bo resolved to surprise Chu Xinghe with his investigation.

Liu Bo tracked Star City's mass poisoning to three Ninth Rank corpse thieves who had poisoned the city to obtain bodies, but their trap exposed him before he could alert the Vast Heaven Holy Land. When Liu Bo summoned the Nebula Spirit Cat, the thieves recognized his affiliation and asked whether he was a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

• After Ma Liang advised Liu Bo to investigate the cemetery, Liu Bo kept watch there for two nights before two cloaked men arrived and began raising recently buried corpses.
• Liu Bo overheard the men discuss the poisoning and learned they had poisoned Star City indiscriminately to collect corpses.
• Liu Bo sensed that the two corpse thieves were Ninth Rank cultivators and secretly tried to attach a tracking talisman to one of the corpses.

• The three men recognized Liu Bo's Nebula Spirit Cat and asked whether he was a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Liu Bo was ambushed by three grave robbers in Star City cemetery, and his Nebula Spirit Cat died protecting him. Chu Xinghe sensed the death through the Power of Rebirth, rushed to save Liu Bo, and defeated the attackers, then scolded Liu Bo for failing to use the Flute of Space and Time.

• Old Zhang recognized Liu Bo as a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but Old Li persuaded the group to attack him rather than let him go.

• Chu Xinghe burned Old Zhang’s corpse poison with Phoenix Divine Fire, slammed the two surviving attackers into the ground, and kicked Liu Bo while ordering him to recite the flute’s instructions a thousand times a day.

Chu Xinghe rescued Liu Bo from the Corpse Demon Sect’s ambush, punished the captured corpse thieves, and confronted the Demonic Sect over the crimes in Star City. A soul search revealed that the seemingly minor Corpse Chief Evil Spirit Division had orchestrated the affair.

• Chu Xinghe reprimanded Liu Bo for nearly losing his life despite carrying the Flute of Space and Time, and Ma Liang arrived to scold him as well.

Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang confronted the Corpse Chief Evil Spirits Division over its secret scheme to make blood pills from Star City citizens, while news of the crime stirred outrage across the Four Continents. Ma Liang’s Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation exposed the guilty, and Chu Xinghe began killing them without hearing the Corpse Chief Evil Lord’s explanation.

Chu Xinghe forced the Half-Step Main God Corpse Chief Evil Lord to step aside, and the people of the Three Continents celebrated the end of the Evil Spirit Clan’s era of oppression. The chapter leaves the Evil Shadow Continent in stunned silence as its spirits recognized that even the Corpse Chief Evil Lord had no chance of defeating Chu Xinghe.

• Chu Xinghe brushed past the Corpse Chief Evil Lord, who made way rather than attack him.

• The Corpse Chief Evil Lord stepped aside because he feared an attack would bring the destruction of his division, while Chu Xinghe killed Corpse Chief Evil Spirits marked by a bloody glow.

• Chu Xinghe appeared beside Gu Mingchao and explained that he had used the Divinity clone to bait Shi Hui, who had believed the soul-searching threat and exposed himself.

Chu Xinghe revealed that the Chu Xinghe who had fought among the Corpse Chief Evil Spirits was his Xinghe Divinity, then explained how he had identified Shi Hui as the mastermind behind the blood pills and corpse poison. Shi Hui realized he had been exposed regardless of whether he had emerged, and Chu Xinghe confronted him with the evidence.

• Everyone realized the Chu Xinghe who had fought earlier was his Xinghe Divinity, whose presence and combat power matched the original.
• Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang mocked Shi Hui for believing the planned soul search had exposed him, while Shi Hui stood in despair.
• The chapter revealed that Shi Hui had used Shi Mian as a pawn and intended to devour him after he consumed enough blood pills.
• Chu Xinghe explained that Shi Hui had been identified because only he and the Corpse Chief Evil Lord could refine the corpse poison found in Star City.
• Chu Xinghe reasoned that Palace Master Wu Qun would not have detected the poison if the Corpse Chief Evil Lord had made it, leaving Shi Hui as the culprit.

Chu Xinghe exposed Shi Hui as the mastermind behind the Star City corpse poison plot, had him executed, and warned the Evil Spirit Clan against further schemes.

Ma Liang stayed in Star City to visit his aunt Liu Ying, whose leadership had helped the Bai Clan expand its businesses across the Three Continents. After Chu Xinghe sent Ma Liang on vacation, he returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and found that its disciples had made no progress and the crystal remained safe.

• The Bai Clan elected Liu Ying as clan head, and her connection to Ma Liang helped the clan expand its businesses throughout the Three Continents.
• Ma Liang visited Liu Ying in Star City, where the Bai Clan gave him space to enjoy time with his aunt and no outsiders dared to call on him.
• Wei Deqian refused his stewards’ suggestion that he visit Ma Liang, explaining that an informal visit would be improper and risky.
• Chu Xinghe told Ma Liang to take a break because he was exhausted from guarding against him, and Ma Liang stayed in Star City while Liu Bo finished his vacation.
• Chu Xinghe returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and found the Body Cultivation disciples, Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, and Taiyin Evil Spirits had failed to make progress, while the crystal was still safe.

Man Sheng struggled to find a way for the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to contribute to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, despite Chu Xinghe encouraging him to keep trying. Chu Xinghe left confident that their efforts would consume resources and bring him good fortune, but the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits’ afternoon pill-refining lesson ended in a disastrous waste of materials.

• Man Sheng told Chu Xinghe that repeated attempts to teach divine abilities to the Body Cultivation disciples had failed, and Chu Xinghe reassured him that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits’ time would come.
• Man Sheng recalled how Wu Man, Zang Ling, and Gui Li had found ways to help the Holy Land, while Bai Yu publicly mocked the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits as useless.
• Chu Xinghe left Body Cultivation Peak pleased that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits had consumed large amounts of Crimson Crystal and that his Misfortune Compass kept spinning.
• Man Sheng and the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits went to the Spirit Crane Palace to learn pill refining, but they struggled even to understand the process and wasted precious materials.
• Mu Bai watched the lesson and concluded that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits were even worse at pill refining than the Taiyin Evil Spirits.

Mu Bai struggled to teach medicine refinement to the Taiyin Evil Spirits and Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, whose failures seemed to prove they were bound by racial limitations. When Man Sheng taught Tai Chu the Strength Soul Divine Ability to demonstrate those limits, Tai Chu unexpectedly learned it, though its effect was far weaker than normal.

• Mu Bai failed to teach the Taiyin Evil Spirits to refine normal pills and found that Man Sheng could neither learn nor remember medicine-refining methods.
• Tai Chu suggested that medicine refinement was easy to learn, angering Man Sheng, who insisted that Tai Chu try learning a Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit divine ability.
• Man Sheng taught Tai Chu the Strength Soul Divine Ability, and Tai Chu howled in pain as the ability repelled him.
• Mu Bai had the others use a thousand times the usual amount of Crimson Crystal to help Tai Chu recover.
• Tai Chu suddenly activated the Strength Soul Divine Ability, stunning Man Sheng and Mu Bai despite its effect being only one thousandth as strong as normal.

Tai Chu astonished the Vast Heaven Holy Land by learning the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits’ divine abilities, prompting everyone to debate the value of the Taiyin Evil Spirits’ talent. Chu Xinghe dismissed the discovery as useless until Shen Chun claimed Chu had said the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break their racial shackles.

• Tai Chu learned every Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit divine ability Man Sheng taught him, though each ability consumed far more resources and had only one-thousandth its normal effect.
• Mu Bai ordered the news sent to Chu Xinghe, the Grand Elder, and the palace heads, and Shen Chun hurried to tell Chu about Tai Chu’s talent.
• Chu Xinghe decided the ability was not useful because the Taiyin Evil Spirits could only break their own racial shackles, then went with Shen Chun to the Medicine King Palace.
• The Grand Elder and Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable agreed that Tai Chu’s talent had little practical value because his abilities were so weak.
• Shen Chun claimed Chu Xinghe had said the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break their shackles, leaving Chu and the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable stunned.

Shen Chun and Man Sheng claimed Chu Xinghe had foreseen that Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others overcome racial limits, though Chu Xinghe knew they had misunderstood his casual remarks. Tai Chu proved the theory by teaching Qu Yifeng the Strength Soul Divine Ability, revealing the Taiyin Evil Spirits’ true value as teachers who could pass on abilities across racial boundaries.

• Shen Chun said Chu Xinghe had predicted the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break through racial shackles, and Man Sheng interpreted Chu Xinghe’s encouragement as a hint to seek them out.
• Chu Xinghe privately denied having meant any of it, while the elders considered whether Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach abilities they could not effectively use themselves.
• Tai Chu touched Qu Yifeng between the brows and passed the Strength Soul Divine Ability into his mind.
• Qu Yifeng manifested the Strength Soul Divine Ability, confirming he had learned an ability restricted to another race.
• The witnesses realized Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach across racial boundaries and recognized their power as Creating Something from Nothing.

Tai Chu’s demonstration revealed that the Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach others the beginnings of any cultivation technique, giving Vast Heaven Holy Land disciples a way to develop abilities beyond their innate limits. The thirty-two Taiyin Evil Spirits thanked Chu Xinghe for showing them their worth, and he let them weep as they knelt before him.

• Tai Chu taught Qu Yifeng a Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit divine ability, but Qu Yifeng could use only one-thousandth of its strength.
• Elder He explained that the weakened ability was a seed Qu Yifeng could cultivate, and the elders realized the Taiyin Evil Spirits could let others learn techniques despite racial restrictions.
• The Vast Heaven Holy Land leaders recognized that the Taiyin Evil Spirits’ teaching ability could transform cultivation across the Four Continents.
• The thirty-two Taiyin Evil Spirits knelt and kowtowed to Chu Xinghe, thanking him for giving them a reason to exist beyond being treated as playthings.
• Chu Xinghe stopped Qu Yifeng and the others from lifting them, allowing the Taiyin Evil Spirits to release their grief.
