Chapter Summaries

Yang Tianyou and the Luochuan River Dragon King ambushed Dao Disciple Yesang and stole his soul after sealing him inside a crystal. Yang Tianyou read Yesang’s memories and learned that Demon Venerable Yelan had entered seclusion, leaving him time to examine the Blood-Slaying Dao’s secrets.

• Yang Tianyou and the Luochuan River Dragon King waited in a hidden Formation beneath a deserted island for Dao Disciple Yesang and the Cloud-Swallowing Walker.
• Dao Disciple Yesang used his Night-Pupil Demon Body to reveal a hidden palace and broke through the Formation around it.

Yang Tianyou abandoned his plan to frame the Demon Puppet Venerable after learning that the Venerable was the Blood-Slaying Dao Master's son, and instead turned Dao Disciple Yesang into a puppet and planted him inside the Blood-Slaying Dao. After helping Yesang build influence and arranging new settlers for Divine Sword Island, Yang Tianyou returned to Purple Moon Mountain.

• Yang Tianyou learned from Dao Disciple Yesang's memories that the Demon Puppet Venerable was the Blood-Slaying Dao Master's son and that Demon Venerable Yelan did not truly value Yesang.

The Yang Household held its Lineage Assembly, reviewing its development and approving major plans for the Chaotic Sea, member cultivation, and the Purple Moon Army. The assembly left the Household set on expanding its influence and military strength over the next sixty years.

• Yang Dangkai presented a detailed report on the Yang Household’s finances, military, territory, population, and other affairs, while Yang Tianyou observed which members paid attention.
• The assembly approved sending substantial numbers of cultivators, mortals, spirit stones, and other supplies to the Chaotic Sea over sixty years, with Yang Tianyou also planning secret military support.
• The members replaced the [Three-Month Twelve Stars] system with the [June Twenty-Four Stars] cultivation program and agreed to fund Qi Refining cultivators who cleared the eighth floor of the Trial Tower.
• The assembly decided to expand the Purple Moon Army to five thousand members within sixty years, sending three thousand to the Chaotic Sea and assigning the rest to defend and patrol Yang Household territory.

The Yang Household’s Lineage Assembly set policies to regulate its members, encourage childbirth, and expand the Purple Moon Merchant Association, putting the Lineage back on track for rapid development. Yang Tianyou then ordered the Luochuan River Dragon King to take the Flood Dragon Clan back to the Eastern Sea within a month and promised to consider supplying the resources they needed.

• The Lineage Assembly decided to educate members and punish those who abused the Yang Household’s name or broke the Clan Rules.
• The Assembly set a sixty-year policy providing daily rations to people with Yang Household blood, with triple rations for households where a cultivator appeared.
• The Assembly tasked Yang Tianjiu with overseeing the Purple Moon Merchant Association’s expansion and continued annual audits of the Commerce Hall.
• Yang Tianyou had previously imprisoned a Commerce Hall member for a hundred years after he embezzled more than a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Yang Tianyou ordered the Luochuan River Dragon King to return to the Eastern Sea with the Flood Dragon Clan within a month and asked him to submit a list of needed resources.

The Luochuan River Dragon King used his Spirit Transformation strength and restored bloodline to compel his elders to return with him to the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan. After the clan left, Yang Tianyou’s household took over its resources, and Yang Yuqi showed Yang Tianyou the rapidly growing Life-Origin Fruit Tree in the Spirit Medicine Garden.

• The Luochuan River Dragon King announced that his clan would return to the Eastern Sea, but the Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder urged him to reconsider.
• The Luochuan River Dragon King revealed his Spirit Transformation cultivation and restored Bloodline Concentration, forcing the four elders to submit to his command.
• Half a month later, the Luochuan River Dragon King led the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan east to rejoin the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan.
• After the clan departed, the Yang Household gained control of the Spirit Veins, mineral deposits, waters, and other resources they had occupied.
• Yang Yuqi led Yang Tianyou through the Spirit Medicine Garden to see the Life-Origin Fruit Tree, which had reached the third-tier upper-grade and was expected to reach the fourth tier within thirty years.

Yang Tianyou installed the Golden Sun Springhead in the Spirit Medicine Garden and decided to raise Purple Moon Mountain’s Spirit Vein to Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade. After the upgrade, the Yang Household established the Grand Mystery Illusory Void Formation, strengthening Purple Moon Mountain’s defenses.

• Yang Tianyou placed the Golden Sun Springhead in the Spirit Pool and explained its value to Yang Yuqi, who promised to protect it and use its springwater carefully.
• Yang Tianyou decided to promote the Purple Moon Mountain Spirit Vein, then asked Yang Tianjiu to gather the required resources.
• Yang Tianjiu sent Yang Tianyou the resources, and Yang Tianyou used them to promote the Spirit Vein to Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade over half a year.
• Yang Tianyou gave the Grand Mystery Illusory Void Formation Formation Disc to Yang Tianshi, who completed the formation in one month.
• The formation shrouded Purple Moon Mountain in clouds and mist, making it difficult for even Sage Manifestation cultivators to see inside without a specialized Pupil Technique Divine Ability.

The Eight Great Forces of the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region sought an alliance to gain a seat at the Lu Wu Realm Alliance Conference, but the surrounding Province-Level Powers moved to stop them. Under the War Prohibition, the Yang Household joined the war at lower combat levels and targeted the Leling Archipelago as a foothold in the Chaotic Sea.

• The chapter described the Eight Great Forces and the four Province-Level Powers surrounding the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region, noting that the Yang Household did not yet meet the requirements to be a Province-Level Power.
• The Eight Great Forces sought to form an alliance so they could gain a greater say at the future Lu Wu Realm Alliance Conference and avoid being sent into the Vanguard Battalion as cannon fodder.
• The Sea Abyss Sect, the Thousand Feather Palace, and the other two Four Great Powers opposed the alliance and prepared to invade and divide the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region.
• After the great holy lands issued a War Prohibition, the Four Great Powers abandoned plans for Spirit Transformation battles and instead blockaded the Eight Great Forces with their Spirit Transformation combat forces while preparing to fight at lower levels.
• The Yang Household sent nine hundred of the Purple Moon Army’s twelve hundred main troops to the Chaotic Sea, where it received the Leling Archipelago, which belonged to the Flower Butterfly Sect.

Yang Xuanwu organized the Yang Household’s forces on Divine Sword Island and led the Purple Moon Army toward the Leling Archipelago after the Four Great Powers announced their coming attack. Madam Red Butterfly prepared to preserve her strength against the Yang Household, but remained ready to exploit any opening that could give her a chance to win.

• Yang Xuanwu received word that the Four Great Powers would attack the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region in half a month and finalized the Yang Household’s battle plan with his commanders and household members.
• The Purple Moon Army assembled aboard the War Flying Vessels, and Yang Xuanwu ordered the fleet to march on the Leling Archipelago.
• Madam Red Butterfly assessed the Yang Household’s strength and concluded that the Flower Butterfly Sect could not win the coming conflict without outside support.
• Madam Red Butterfly resolved to avoid unnecessary losses while resisting the Yang Household, but planned to seize any major opening that might let her defeat them.

Madam Red Butterfly urged the Leling Archipelago's powers to resist the Yang Household through strategic depth while preserving a retreat to Leling Island. The Yang Household took Twin Forest Island without a fight, and Red Butterfly prepared the remaining powers to resist in turn.

• Madam Red Butterfly rejected a head-on battle and advised the archipelago's leaders to stretch the Yang Household's forces while avoiding islands they could not defend.
• Yang Xuanwu named Twin Forest Island as the Yang Household's first target, and Yang Yusheng secured permission for the Purple Moon Army to lead the assault.
• Old Man Taiwu agreed to remain in reserve while the Yang Household prepared to attack Twin Forest Island.
• Lin Moshanshan surrendered Twin Forest Island to the arriving Yang Household fleet to spare his clansmen from battle.
• Madam Red Butterfly ordered the archipelago's powers to resist successively and allowed them to retreat to Leling Island if defeat became inevitable.

Yang Tianyou upgraded Tribulation Clouds Mountain with Primordial Power, strengthening its benefits for thunder cultivation. He used up his accumulated power and reflected that his cultivation was advancing more slowly than Yunhua’s.

• Yang Tianyou reviewed the Spirit-Suppressing Sea Region war and noted that Madam Red Butterfly fought cautiously, while the Yang Household advanced through the Leling Archipelago with reinforcements.
• Yang Tianyou decided to improve another legacy ground after accumulating enough Primordial Power.
• Yang Xuanyun opened Tribulation Clouds Mountain for Yang Tianyou, who used the Creation Brush to upgrade the legacy ground’s source.
• Tribulation Clouds Mountain’s thunder Dao resonance and Spiritual Qi conversion improved, boosting household members’ cultivation and comprehension.
• Yang Tianyou exhausted his Primordial Power and estimated that Yunhua would reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage decades before he did.

Yang Dangmo failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, prompting Yang Tianyou to focus on strengthening his Bonded Spirit Beasts. All five remaining beasts then reached the Nascent Soul Realm, giving Yang Tianyou greater strength through the Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation.

• Yang Dangmo took a Nascent Soul Formation Pill and failed to break through, suffering injuries but surviving.
• Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou comforted Yang Dangmo, and Yang Haoyu offered him her legacy-ground quota for his next attempt.
• Yang Tianyou postponed transforming the Nine Great Legacy Grounds and spent ten years gathering Primordial Power.
• Yang Tianyou improved the bloodlines of his five remaining Bonded Spirit Beasts, deepening their foundations.
• All five beasts survived their tribulations and reached the Nascent Soul Realm, enabling Yang Tianyou to contend with Spirit Transformation cultivators for a time through the Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation.

Yang Tianyou created the Great White Life-and-Death Blade, a powerful Blade Dao Divine Ability that absorbed and refined attacks to strengthen itself. He anticipated that his Blade Force would soon reach Minor Achievement.

• Yang Tianyou tested the Great White Life-and-Death Blade in the Blade Prison, where its Life-and-Death Wheel Seal devoured a torrent of Blade Force and grew stronger.
• Yang Tianyou completed the Divine Ability, which had already reached Great Achievement in the Second Heaven and became a major weapon for fighting enemies.
• Yang Tianyou recognized that the blade could grow immensely powerful by absorbing energy, but that its strength could eventually exceed his control.
• Yang Tianyou felt his Blade Force would advance from entry level to Minor Achievement within one to three years.
• The chapter explained how comprehension of the Dao of Heaven and Earth shaped cultivators’ progress and ability to break through realms.

Yang Tianyou watched Yunhua break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, then examined her when she worried that a hidden cause prevented them from having a child. His vision revealed two enormous purple Karma Heavenly Pillars, and a Heavenly Dog on the right pillar recognized him before a terrifying force made him retreat.

• Yang Tianyou sensed Yunhua's impending breakthrough and saw her emerge after a vision of a bright moon over the sea.
• Yang Tianyou congratulated Yunhua, then playfully carried her to the bedroom when she teased him about his cultivation.
• Yunhua wondered why they had no child and said she felt there was another reason beyond their high cultivation.
• Yang Tianyou used the Great White Gold Eyes to examine Yunhua's body, Sea of Consciousness, soul, and True Spirit, finding no obvious problem.
• Yang Tianyou peered into Yunhua's Karma and saw two enormous purple heavenly pillars, including one bearing a young man in silver armor and a Heavenly Dog.
• The Heavenly Dog recognized Yang Tianyou as a little monkey, and a terrifying force made him retreat before he heard the dog fearfully mention its master.

Yang Tianyou examined the karmic ties surrounding Yunhua and encountered a terrifying presence linked to a hidden purple pillar, while Yunhua revealed dreams that might be memories of a past life. When they investigated why they could not have children, a message revealed that they had to become immortals first.

• Yang Tianyou sensed Yunhua's immense karmic connection to a handsome young man and tried to perceive a second, obscured purple pillar, but its overwhelming presence left him shaken until the Jade Register Heavenly Book severed the connection.
• Yunhua comforted Yang Tianyou, and he told her what he had seen, including the young man, the Heavenly Dog, and the terrifying being.
• Yunhua described her recurring dreams of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and Yang Tianyou wondered whether she was a reincarnated mighty figure.
• Yang Tianyou and Yunhua spoke about her possibly ascending to the Immortal Realm, and he vowed to bring her back if she left him behind.
• Yang Tianyou investigated why they could not have children, and a message appeared in both their minds: they could not bear children without becoming immortals.

Yang Tianyou and Yunhua discussed the restriction preventing them from having children until they became Immortals, which Yunhua suspected she had imposed in a previous life. Twenty years after taking Luochuan Commandery, Yang Tianyou reviewed the Yang Household’s growth and reflected on why sects’ recruitment practices gave them an advantage over cultivation Lineages.

• Yunhua guessed that she had placed a restriction on herself in a previous life, and Yang Tianyou said he might know a way around it but kept the details secret.
• Yang Tianyou asked Zhiming for a report on the Lineage’s recent development, and Zhiming sent him a Jade Slip.
• Yang Tianyou reviewed the Yang Household’s population growth: it had about seventeen million Mortals with Yang Household blood and 372 Innate Spirit Root Bearers among them.
• Yang Tianyou considered how the much larger population under sects produced thousands of potential disciples each year, allowing them to recruit selectively.
• Yang Tianyou noted that the Yang Household recruited fewer Cultivators than its available candidates to preserve its bloodline’s ruling position, while sects’ stricter selection helped them maintain stronger disciples.

The Yang Household planned to cap its expansion at 150,000 cultivators as it prepared for the approaching Two-World War. Fifteen years later, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree survived its tribulation and reached Nascent Soul, revealing how many lifespan-extending fruits it could now produce.

• The Yang Household's leaders decided to expand the Lineage to 150,000 cultivators and limit the Purple Moon Army to 5,000.
• Fifteen years passed, and Yang Tianyou was over 170 years old as the Life-Origin Fruit Tree prepared to transcend its tribulation.
• Yang Yuqi assured Yang Haoyu that Shengyuan's foundation, Law Power, and pure heart would help him survive the lightning and Heart Demon tribulations.
• Shengyuan used the Immovable Azure Lotus Formation to withstand the Two-Nine Tribulation Lightning, then passed the Heart Demon tribulation and broke through to Nascent Soul.
• Shengyuan told Yang Haoyu that he could bear three Life-Origin Fruits every 108 years, each extending a Nascent Soul Cultivator's lifespan by 180 years.

Yang Tianyou rewarded the Life-Origin Fruit Tree and Yang Yuqi for their contributions, then visited the Blood Moon Secret Realm and praised Yang Xuanyang’s progress in the Blade Dao. He left Yang Xuanyang with new Blade Dao insights and advice to follow his own path before heading toward Wolf Ancestor Peak.

• Yang Tianyou learned that Life-Origin Fruits extended a Nascent Soul cultivator’s lifespan by 180 years and increased the Life-Origin Fruit Tree’s stipend and Golden Sun Divine Spring share.
• Yang Tianyou awarded Yang Yuqi 100 high-level Contribution Points for nurturing the Life-Origin Fruit Tree.
• Yang Tianyou inspected the Spirit Medicine Garden with his wife and Yang Haoyu, then left satisfied with Yang Yuqi’s work.
• Yang Tianyou entered the Blood Moon Secret Realm and watched Yang Xuanyang butcher a bovine Demon Beast with his Slaughtering Blade.
• Yang Tianyou praised Yang Xuanyang’s Blade Dao progress, urged him to visit Duan Hongyu, and gave him new insights with advice to develop his own style.
• Yang Tianyou departed toward Wolf Ancestor Peak.

Yang Tianyou used three years of accumulated Primordial Power and the Blood Moon Secret Realm to refine the True Blood Pool, strengthening Wolf Ancestor and the realm. The refinement succeeded, Wolf Ancestor’s breakthrough began, and Blood Moon Wolf Guards emerged among his pack.

• Yang Tianyou brought the True Blood Pool to Wolf Ancestor Peak and planned to integrate it with the Blood Moon Secret Realm so Wolf Ancestor could draw on its power.
• Yang Tianyou sent resources to White Wolf Mound, and Wolf Ancestor ordered the formation activated before retreating to break through.
• Yang Tianyou and Wolf Ancestor refined the True Blood Pool through the Blood Moon for three days, causing crimson light to cover the Secret Realm for half a month.
• Yang Tianyou announced the refinement was complete as powerful Nascent Soul pressure rose from White Wolf Mound.
• The Blood Moon transformed several Demon Wolves into Blood Moon Wolf Guards, giving the pack powerful and rapidly regenerating fighters.

Wolf Ancestor broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the Old White Wolf returned to White Wolf Mound. After agreeing to remain there for three hundred years and obey Wolf Ancestor, Bai Feng received Spirit Transformation resources and began his breakthrough attempt.

• Wolf Ancestor reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and awakened the Blood Moon Wolf King’s power, drawing the wolves into submission.
• Yang Tianyou returned to Great White Residence, but Wolf Ancestor soon told him that the Old White Wolf had come back.
• Bai Feng discovered White Wolf Mound’s greatly increased numbers and sensed three bloodline connections, then reunited with his daughter, the White Wolf King, and met Wolf Ancestor and his grandchildren Ziqiong and Zicang.
• Wolf Ancestor decided that Bai Feng’s possible breakthrough could help the wolf clan separate from Iron Lion Ridge, and asked Yang Tianyou for Spirit Transformation resources.
• Yang Tianyou sent the resources after Bai Feng agreed to stay at White Wolf Mound for three hundred years and follow Wolf Ancestor’s orders, and Bai Feng entered seclusion to attempt Spirit Transformation.
