Chapter Summaries

After more than two hundred years of work, Yang Tianyou perfected the White Emperor Blade Canon by combining the Star Dao, Metal Element Dao, and Blade Dao into an Extreme-Path inheritance. He prepared to break through to Spirit Transformation and condense the Great White Saint Body.

• After the Yang Household entered a period of steady development, Yang Tianyou entrusted its affairs to his wife and cultivated in seclusion for seven years.
• In the Jade Register Heavenly Book, Yang Tianyou trained in the Star Dao, Metal Element Dao, and Blade Dao, conditioning his body to their powers.
• Yang Tianyou completed the White Emperor Blade Canon and tested its Extreme-Path Law Power, finding its killing power at least twice that of his previous Law Power.
• Yang Tianyou resolved to begin his breakthrough to Spirit Transformation and condense the Great White Saint Body.

Yang Tianyou broke through to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, then underwent his Spirit Transformation tribulation at Wolf Pool. He endured the Thunder and Heart Demon tribulations and successfully became a Spirit Transformation powerhouse.

• Yang Tianyou used Spirit Vein Essence and a Spirit Transformation Pill to advance from Nascent Soul Late Stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
• Yunhua prepared the tribulation formation and supplies, then accompanied Yang Tianyou to Wolf Pool, where the Yang Household gathered to witness his tribulation.
• Yang Tianyou withdrew the Tribulation-Evading Method and faced the Thunder tribulation without using the formation.
• Yang Tianyou resisted the Three-Nine Tribulation with his body as the lightning tempered his White Emperor Indestructible Body.
• Yang Tianyou passed the Heart Demon tribulation and achieved Spirit Transformation.

After breaking through to Spirit Transformation, Yang Tianyou unlocked the Jade Register Heavenly Book’s fourth page and gathered his seven Bonded Spirit Beasts to help refine his body. He successfully formed the Great White Saint Body, leaving his aptitude and connection to Heaven and Earth greatly enhanced.

• Yang Tianyou absorbed the Qi of Creation from his breakthrough, strengthening his True Spirit and opening the fourth page of the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
• Yang Haoyu concealed Wolf Pool as Yang Tianyou’s seven Bonded Spirit Beasts gathered, their cultivation having advanced rapidly through their shared Destiny.
• Yang Tianyou directed the seven beasts to form the Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation and drew down the Power of the Stars to refine his body.
• Yang Tianyou used his Great White Life-and-Death Blade to refine spiritual energies and treasures, transforming his Root Bone and physique.
• Yang Tianyou sensed a distant Palace and heard a fragmentary invocation to the White Emperor before his consciousness returned.
• Yang Tianyou recognized that he had formed the Great White Saint Body and found it easier to absorb Spiritual Qi and comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Yang Tianyou studied the Acquired Fortune Cauldron and learned that it could conceal his Lineage's Fortune and condense Fruit Positions. He created a Child Cauldron to hide the Yang Household's Fortune, then worried about how to obtain enough discarded Spirit Items to replenish his Primordial Power.

• Yang Tianyou returned to Great White Residence with Yunhua and entered seclusion to study the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
• Yang Tianyou learned that the Acquired Fortune Cauldron could suppress and conceal the Yang Household's Fortune and condense Fruit Positions.
• Yang Tianyou spent seventy percent of his accumulated Primordial Power to create a low-grade Child Cauldron for concealing his Lineage's Fortune.
• Yang Tianyou considered moving mountains and seas into the Creation Space to produce more Primordial Power, but feared punishment from the will of heaven and earth.
• Yang Tianyou decided that he would have to buy more discarded Spirit Items.

Yang Tianyou used the Acquired Fortune Cauldron to examine the Yang Household’s Fortune, then fused its Child Cauldron with the Thick Earth Cauldron to conceal most of that Fortune and create five Fruit Position Embryos. The Lineage’s Fortune was stabilized, but Yang Tianyou remained concerned about the ominous black Qi and began preparing to gather Incense Power.

• Yang Tianyou visited Yunhua and watched Yang Lingjiao practice Law Techniques before taking Yunhua to the Lineage Ancestral Hall.
• Yang Tianyou used the Acquired Fortune Cauldron to observe the Yang Household’s Fortune and saw flourishing purple radiance with ominous black Qi hidden within it.
• Yang Tianyou and Yunhua discussed concealing the Lineage’s Fortune and using the Mountain and River Hall to share pressure without destroying it.
• Yang Tianyou fused the Child Cauldron with the Thick Earth Cauldron, reducing the visible Fortune to thirty percent and stabilizing the Yang Household’s Fortune.
• Yang Tianyou condensed five Fruit Position Embryos and planned to gather Incense Power, then sent Thirteenth Brother a Communication Talisman to buy discarded Spirit Items.

Yang Tianyou used Yang Tianjiu’s information about Fruit Positions to infer that the Jiufeng Imperial Clan was a Heavenly Mandate Race concealing a formidable force. He decided to seek evidence of its ambitions without revealing that the Yang Household also possessed Fruit Positions.

• Yang Tianjiu received a request for discarded Spirit Items, then sent Yang Tianyou information about Fruit Positions after Golden Tortoise sensed one in their Lineage.
• Yang Tianyou combined Yang Tianjiu’s information with what he knew from the Jade Register Heavenly Book and concluded that the Jiufeng Imperial Clan could condense Fruit Positions.
• Yang Tianyou realized the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty might have amassed powerful gods and could be waiting for the other factions to weaken before taking over the Three Great Realms.
• Yang Tianyou chose not to alert Alliance Headquarters because his conclusion lacked proof and could expose the Yang Household’s own Fruit Positions.
• Yang Tianyou decided to find evidence of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty’s hidden strength and ambitions so other realms and the Nine Phoenix Realm’s factions would be warned.

Yang Tianyou entered the Four Symbols Secret Realm to take the Lineage Master assessment after reaching Spirit Transformation. He passed the comprehension, perseverance, and Fortune tests, then faced the previous White Tiger Lineage Master in the final combat test.

• Yang Tianyou left Yunhua in charge of the Lineage and traveled to the Four Symbols Secret Realm for his assessment.
• Yang Tianyou promised the Guardian Deity General that he would rebuild the Four Symbols Sect, while learning that the General's consciousness was slowly collapsing.
• Yang Tianyou entered the Four Symbols Tower and quickly passed its Divine Ability, perseverance, and Fortune assessments.
• Yang Tianyou began the combat strength test and encountered the previous White Tiger Lineage Master, eager to test his strength.

Yang Tianyou tested his strength against the White Tiger Lineage Master in the Four Symbols Tower and defeated him after a fierce battle. The trial ended with Yang Tianyou recognized as the new White Tiger Lineage Master.

• Yang Tianyou clashed with the White Tiger Lineage Master and discovered how greatly his physical strength had increased.
• Yang Tianyou unleashed the Great White Heavenly Blade, overpowering the White Tiger Lineage Master's devastating counterattack.
• Yang Tianyou assessed his combat strength and continued fighting the charging White Tiger Lineage Master.
• Yang Tianyou overwhelmed the White Tiger Lineage Master with platinum blade Qi, and the defeated guardian declared that he qualified.
• The Four Symbols Tower sent Yang Tianyou out, and the Guardian Deity General congratulated him on becoming the new White Tiger Lineage Master.

Yang Tianyou returned from the Four Symbols Sect with its Scripture Repository and treasury resources, then began crafting a Second Primordial Spirit puppet from Sun Soul Jade. He completed the jade body and placed the Mountain-Sea Pearl and Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl in its Dantian, but it still lacked life.

• Yang Tianyou used his Lineage Master token to shrink and take the Scripture Repository, gathered the treasury’s resources, and left the Chaotic Sea after visiting the Four Symbols Alliance’s leaders.
• Back at Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Tianyou prepared to make a loyal Second Primordial Spirit puppet using the Sun Soul Jade, the Second Primordial Spirit Art, the Life-Bound Puppet Refining Method, and the Creation Brush.
• Yang Tianyou spent half a month mastering and adapting the two methods, then used the Creation Brush’s primordial power to transform the Sun Soul Jade.
• After another month of work, Yang Tianyou completed a nine-foot-tall jade body with organs and meridians but no life, then placed the Mountain-Sea Pearl and Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl in its Dantian.

Yang Tianyou created a loyal clone by forming a body from Sun Soul Jade, shaping its Dantian with two pearls, and tempering a Second Primordial Spirit for it. He named the clone Shanhai and gave him the Infinite Measure Great Sun Sutra to cultivate.

• Yang Tianyou used the Mountain-Sea Pearl, the Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl, and Spirit Liquid to form a Dantian inside the jade figure.
• Yang Tianyou split his Primordial Spirit, sent one half through the Jade Register Heavenly Book’s Mirror Spirit Space and Creation Space, and placed it in the jade figure’s Niwan Palace.
• The jade figure stabilized with golden flesh and jade bones, and Yang Tianyou confirmed that his new Life-Bound Puppet could act as a loyal clone.
• Yang Tianyou named the clone Shanhai and explained that he could use him to travel while remaining responsible for the Lineage.
• Yang Tianyou gave Shanhai the Infinite Measure Great Sun Sutra, and Shanhai sat down to begin cultivating.

Yang Tianyou cultivated his avatar Shanhai to the Spirit Transformation Realm and prepared him to infiltrate the Nine Phoenix Realm. He also distributed the treasures from the White Tiger Lineage's treasury, planting the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree on Purple Moon Mountain and assigning the Old Ancestor to guard it.

• Yang Tianyou's avatar Shanhai rapidly cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Realm over a month, undergoing three Heavenly Tribulations as his prepared foundation ran out.
• Yang Tianyou reasoned that the Jade Register Heavenly Book was a high-grade World Embryo that granted him indirect command over powers associated with the Heavenly Dao.
• Yang Tianyou and the Old Ancestor chose to plant the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree on Purple Moon Mountain, where it could strengthen the Clan-Guarding Array under the Old Ancestor's care.
• Yang Tianyou distributed suitable treasures to clan members and placed the remaining resources in the Lineage's treasury for members and departments to redeem.
• Yang Tianyou took the White Tiger Space-Piercing Wings for Shanhai, who was preparing to infiltrate the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Yang Tianyou refined a Spirit Transformation Early Stage White Tiger Talisman Soldier and assessed the Purple Moon Army’s shortcomings and combat strength. He concluded that the Yang Household remained vulnerable to an attack from the Nine Phoenix Realm, especially if it lost Purple Moon Mountain.

• Yang Tianyou completed a White Tiger Talisman Soldier, which behaved affectionately toward him despite its lethal power.
• Yang Tianyou determined that the Purple Moon Army lacked enough high-realm cultivators and that its rapid expansion had left its soldiers too weak.
• Yang Tianyou found that limited Weapon Sha Qi restricted him to refining six Spirit Transformation Early Stage White Tiger Talisman Soldiers over more than ten years.
• Yang Tianyou estimated that the Yang Household could resist several ordinary Early Sage Manifestation opponents while defending its headquarters, but had far less strength away from home.
• Yang Tianyou feared that the Nine Phoenix Realm would send four or five Sage Manifestation experts to destroy the Yang Household, leaving it unable to develop if Purple Moon Mountain fell.

Yang Tianyou decided to strengthen the Yang Household before the Realm Gate expanded by sending the Purple Moon Army into deadly battles and advancing Purple Moon Mountain’s Spirit Vein. He planned to enter the Nine Phoenix Realm for Spirit Vein Essence and chose Feng Cang as the Mirror Spirit Space occupant to replace.

• Yang Tianyou resolved to send the Purple Moon Army into frequent bloody battles, accepting up to sixty percent casualties to rapidly accumulate Weapon Sha Qi.
• Yang Tianyou informed Yang Yusheng, who led eighty percent of the Purple Moon Army to the fierce World Interstice in Mo Province.
• Yang Tianyou determined that advancing Purple Moon Mountain’s Spirit Vein to the Sixth Tier would require seven or eight masses of Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein Essence and enormous resources.
• Yang Tianyou planned to use his avatar Shanhai to enter the Nine Phoenix Realm, gather intelligence, and obtain Spirit Vein Essence.
• Yang Tianyou chose Feng Cang to replace the Luochuan River Dragon King in the Mirror Spirit Space, intending to preserve Feng Cang’s consciousness and refine him into a Talisman Soldier.

Yang Tianyou refined Feng Cang into a Talisman Soldier and assigned him to guard the Great White Residence, then prepared the Void Worm and Formless Insect to support his clone’s infiltration of the Nine Phoenix Realm. Over the next three years, several members of the Yang Household and both spirit insects broke through to Spirit Transformation, strengthening the household.

• Yang Tianyou refined Feng Cang into a Talisman Soldier, severed his connection to the Jade Register Heavenly Book, and ordered him to guard the Great White Residence.
• Yang Tianyou assessed the Realm Gate the clone could use to enter the Nine Phoenix Realm and decided to give the clone two more safeguards.
• Yang Tianyou prepared the Void Worm and Formless Insect for tribulation, relying on their enhanced bloodlines and accumulated foundations.
• During the following three years, Yang Tianjiu, Zhiming, Tongming, Yang Haoyu, the Void Worm, and the Formless Insect each passed a Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and reached Spirit Transformation.
• Yang Tianjiu used Wealth Qi to ease his tribulation and gained additional Qi of Creation.

Yang Tianyou prepared his avatar for the Nine Phoenix Realm by strengthening its abilities and gathering powerful allies. The avatar entered a battlefield in the World Interstice under the White Cloud Sect’s territory, disguised as a Late Golden Core cultivator, and captured a Fire-Bathing Tribe fighter to use as a guide.

• Zhiming, Tongming, and Yang Haoyu advanced to the Spirit Transformation Realm, while the Void Worm and Formless Insect reached the Fifth Tier.
• After nearly three years of seclusion, the avatar mastered two Life-Bound Divine Abilities and refined several high-tier Law Treasures.
• Yang Tianyou sent the avatar through a Medium Realm Gate in Chenlong Commandery, Bai Province, toward the Nine Phoenix Realm.
• The avatar joined the battle disguised as a Late Golden Core cultivator and chose a Fire-Bathing Tribe member as a potential guide.
• The avatar trapped and knocked out the Fire-Bathing Tribe fighter, then emerged with the fighter’s spoils while appearing to have perished.

Shanhai ambushed and killed a Fire-Bathing Tribe force in the Nine Phoenix Realm, then used the Acquired Fortune Cauldron to locate three clansmen there. He learned that Yang Tiankang was moving in the southern ocean, Yang Tianxue was in the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom and seemed troubled, and Yang Danglong was on the Giant Spirit Continent.

• Shanhai used a controlled Golden Core Fire-Bathing tribesman to lure two Spirit Transformation tribesmen into a trap and killed them with the Flame Yang God-Refining Furnace.
• Shanhai pursued the remaining Fire-Bathing tribesmen and wiped them out after the leading Fifth-Tier Lava Behemoth died.
• Shanhai gathered the Flame Essence Cores and left, while later-arriving Fire-Bathing tribesmen found no clues.
• Shanhai summoned the Acquired Fortune Cauldron and sensed the locations and conditions of his clansmen in the Nine Phoenix Realm.
• Shanhai determined that Yang Tiankang was moving in the southern ocean, Yang Tianxue was stationary in the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom and appeared troubled, and Yang Danglong was stationary on the Giant Spirit Continent.

Yang Tianyou sent Shanhai to the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land to find Yang Tianxue, who had been sealed inside a giant egg for over a dozen years. Shanhai met Yan Kong, gained his trust, and reached the egg, where Yang Tianxue remained alive but rarely communicated.

• Yang Tianyou ordered Shanhai to find Fourth Sister Yang Tianxue in the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.
• Yan Kong lost another fight against the Golden Ape and visited the giant egg, where Yang Tianxue sent him the words, “Go... bring... Nineteen...”
• Shanhai failed to enter the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land alone, then revealed himself when Yan Kong emerged from the Abyss.
• Yan Kong recognized Yang Tianxue’s name and led Shanhai into the forbidden land, testing him by binding him with chains that sealed his cultivation.
• Yan Kong brought Shanhai to the giant egg and explained that Yang Tianxue had become sealed inside it but still showed strong signs of life.

Shanhai freed Yang Tianxue from a Phoenix remnant soul in the Nirvana Pool and learned that the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land had come from beyond this realm. He then set out for the Nine-Phoenix Continent to find a pure-blooded genius and gain access to the dynasty’s inner circle.

• Shanhai used the Jade Register Heavenly Book to draw the Phoenix Remnant Soul out of Yang Tianxue, ending their struggle for control of her body.
• Yang Tianxue took control of the Nirvana Pool, absorbed its water, and returned to slumber while refining her Phoenix Bloodline.
• Shanhai learned from the Phoenix Remnant Soul that the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land had fallen into this realm from beyond the heavens.
• Shanhai revealed that he was an avatar named Shanhai, gave Yan Kong three Flame Essence Cores, and left the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land.
• Shanhai decided to investigate the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty by cultivating a genius with a pure bloodline and headed for the Nine-Phoenix Continent.

Shanhai established Nine-Phoenix Kunwu as a Mirror Spirit and planned to use him to gain prominence at the Phoenix Festival nineteen years later. He then headed to the Ten Thousand Demon Continent to gather Spirit Vein Essence and other resources, choosing the Green Mastiff Demon Kingdom as his next target.

• Nine-Phoenix Kunwu arrived at Flamewing City, where the Half-Demons bowed to him as he entered the City Lord's Manor.
• Shanhai reviewed Nine-Phoenix Kunwu's background and learned that the Phoenix Festival would take place in nineteen years.
• Shanhai made Nine-Phoenix Kunwu a Mirror Spirit and planned to have him cultivate before competing at the Phoenix Festival.
• Shanhai left the Nine-Phoenix Continent for the Ten Thousand Demon Continent to seek resources, especially Spirit Vein Essence.
• Shanhai returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Continent and planned to use a Realm Gate near Purple Moon Commandery to send resources back to the Lu Wu Realm.

Shanhai secretly raided Spirit Veins across several demon territories, gathering enough essence to bring the Purple Moon Mountain Spirit Vein close to advancing to the sixth tier. With the Nine Phoenix Realm's factions now alert, Yang Tianyou planned to pause the raids and search for Sixth Brother and Thirteenth Granduncle.

• Shanhai infiltrated the White-Horned Lion Clan's city and destroyed its fifth-tier mid-grade Spirit Vein, escaping before the clan could find him.
• Shanhai used the Void Worm and Formless Insect to raid Spirit Veins across the Green Mastiff Demon Kingdom, taking four mid-grade and two lower-grade fifth-tier essences.
• Shanhai moved through the Heavy Mountain and Explosive Flame Demon Kingdoms, completing four raids and collecting seventeen mid-grade and nine lower-grade fifth-tier Spirit Vein Essences in total.
• After the demon factions learned of the Spirit Vein thief, Yang Tianyou decided to stop raiding for now and look for Sixth Brother and Thirteenth Granduncle.
• Shanhai meditated in an underground cavern in the Nine Phoenix Realm, then vanished amid spatial fluctuations.
