Chapter Summaries

Su Yu entered the Star Sea disguised as a Mountain-Breaking Ox and found the waters crowded with dangerous experts, including Zhan Wushuang, Long Wuyou, and Qin Hao, who was headed for Nine Star Island. He reached Tianxia Island and Bright Light City, where he saw a notice offering rewards for information about him, while the reason so many experts were gathering at Nine Star Island remained unknown.

• Su Yu explored the Star Sea, avoided a Shanhai expert, and fled after finding the Giant Crab Domain entrance guarded by a Sun Moon giant crab.
• Zhan Wushuang and Long Wuyou separately told the giant crab to watch for Su Yu and report his whereabouts.
• Su Yu surfaced in a Mountain-Breaking Ox disguise and encountered powerful Sun Moon experts before seeing Qin Hao wound a giant dragon and head toward Nine Star Island.
• Su Yu decided to visit Tianxia Island first and consider whether the gathering of experts around Nine Star Island offered a chance to gain benefits or was too dangerous.
• Su Yu arrived at Tianxia Island and entered Bright Light City, where he saw a notice posted by the God and Demon Races offering rewards for information about him.

Su Yu bought an ancient weapon from a Heavenly Spirit Monkey for ten drops of Shanhai essence blood and discovered its formation offered valuable clues about ancient forging. As he browsed Bright Light City, he began planning a massive scam to obtain Heavenly Profound Light, leaving the scheme still only an outline in his mind.

• Su Yu inspected the monkey’s fork and recognized it as an ancient weapon whose active formation repelled outsiders, not a treasure spirit.
• Su Yu bargained the Heavenly Spirit Monkey down to ten drops of Iron Winged Bird Shanhai First Layer essence blood and bought the fork.
• The Heavenly Forging King confronted the Mysterious Armor King at the realm passage and threatened to forge him and his people into weapons if they joined the immortals.
• After spotting a fake cultivation method at another stall, Su Yu considered forging convincing ancient techniques and weapons to deceive wealthy geniuses.
• Su Yu began planning an elaborate auction scam involving authentic ancient relics and a fabricated discovery, hoping to gain at least a hundred wisps of Heavenly Profound Light.

Su Yu developed a scheme to sell an elaborate fake ancient treasure, studying a recovered weapon and preparing to use a powerful corpse and ancient items to make the deception convincing. On Nine Star Island, Zhu Guangshen arrived with three high-ranking Sunmoon commanders, ending a clash between Modona and the human geniuses before it could escalate.

• Su Yu rented a room in Bright Light City, dismantled an ancient fork, and discovered that its shell had once been a high-grade Earth Tier weapon containing a weakened god-race divine script that reflected damage.
• Su Yu planned to restore the divine script and pair it with an aged Sun Moon Eighth Level god-race corpse, ancient weapons, and other relics to sell as a convincing ancient inheritance.
• Su Yu considered borrowing the identity of a Heaven or Earth Ranking genius and decided to head to Nine Star Island to capture someone suitable, while researching the Tianyi Divine Race and preparing his materials.
• At Nine Star Island, Huang Teng and Qin Fang fought Tianduo while Modona watched, and Zhu Guangshen appeared after Modona challenged him.
• Zhu Guangshen summoned an Iron-Eating Beast and revealed three high-ranking Sunmoon commanders protecting him, prompting Modona, Huang Teng, and Qin Fang to withdraw.

Su Yu left Bright Light City, killed the groups tailing him, and took a Sun Moon Eighth Level Tianyi corpse into the Star Sea to prepare its identity. Meanwhile, Xia Longwu visited the injured Liu Wenyan, who planned to shatter most of his inherited divine characters and enter the Sun Moon Realm within half a year.

• Su Yu heard news of the fighting around Nine Star Island, including Huang Teng being hunted, then left Bright Light City with three groups following him.
• Su Yu lured the pursuers into attacking, killed a Shanhai Second Level Shadow Hunting Leopard and seven Lingyun Ninth Level plant people, and gained Heavenly Origin Qi.
• Hunter Pavilion members investigated the deaths but could not identify the killer, then discussed their orders to find Su Yu and recover the sub-ranking and a Mystic Armor Race corpse.
• Su Yu searched the seabed for a secluded place and brought out the Sun Moon Eighth Level Tianyi corpse, sensing the saber qi Xia Longwu had left within it.
• Xia Longwu visited Liu Wenyan and Uncle Liu; Liu Wenyan said he would keep one of his seven inherited divine characters and shatter the rest to reach the Sun Moon Realm in half a year.
• Xia Longwu told Liu Wenyan that Su Yu was doing well and had just taken out the Tianyi corpse, then left after saying he would meet Liu Wenyan again in half a year.

Su Yu absorbed Xia Longwu’s saber qi from a Sun Moon Eighth Level corpse and unexpectedly began the first Yuan Qi Nine Transformations in 144 apertures. After an ancient seabed stone statue mistook him for an undead, Su Yu fled, while Floating Earth Spirit also sensed danger and headed underwater.

• Su Yu extracted the corpse’s essence blood and absorbed Xia Longwu’s lingering saber qi, tempering his body and turning the yuan qi in 144 apertures into saber-shaped seeds.
• Su Yu read Xia Longwu’s Heaven Splitting Saber manual and learned that his altered apertures had begun the Lingyun-stage Yuan Qi Nine Transformations, though he worried that transforming all 360 apertures would require equally powerful foundations.
• Xia Longwu sensed that Su Yu had entered Lingyun and suspected he had absorbed the saber qi, but decided to leave him to his own fortune.
• As Su Yu corroded the corpse with death qi, a seabed stone statue detected him and prepared to attack; the little person in Su Yu’s heart appeared and convinced it that Su Yu was alive.
• The stone statue recognized Su Yu’s unusual cultivation and warned the little person that excessive death qi could expose him to the undead race; afterward, Su Yu fled several hundred li without knowing what had happened.
• Su Yu planned to disguise the corpse and capture a genius at Nine Star Island, while Floating Earth Spirit killed cultivators in a shrinking mountain, sensed danger, and fled into the sea.

Su Yu fought Floating Earth Spirit near Nine Star Island after the two mistook each other for prey, and he absorbed the power of an Invincible’s wooden thorn to advance his body forging. Floating Earth Spirit escaped with one of his five protective treasures spent, while Su Yu decided to hunt him for the remaining four.

• Su Yu killed a Lingyun devil and a dragon with one Heaven Splitting Saber strike, then continued toward Nine Star Island disguised as a Mountain-Breaking Ox.

• Floating Earth Spirit reported that Su Yu had escaped, learned from the Wood Spirit ancestor that his opponent was Su Yu, and fled after discarding his Hunter Pavilion Sub-Ranking.
• Su Yu realized Floating Earth Spirit still had four Invincible-given treasures and resolved to take them from him.

Su Yu traveled to Nine Star City in disguise, gathering intelligence on Tianduo and the powerful figures assembling for Star Mansion. He arrived as the city’s Devil and Dragon factions clashed over the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, while the conflict ended under the city lord’s intervention.

• Su Yu abandoned his attempt to find the wary Floating Earth Spirit, chose Tianduo as his target, and transformed into an Iron Winged Bird to conceal himself.
• Su Yu joined a paid convoy to Nine Star City and heard that Tianduo had risen to twelfth place on the Earth Ranking and was staying at the Devil Race embassy.
• Su Yu learned about the Dao Proving Ranking, the powerful experts gathered on Nine Star Island, and the Sky Eagle senior serving Gu Shan of the Primordial Giant Race.
• The convoy passed a fight between Shi Zun and Fu Shan, and Su Yu learned that Shi Zun was ranked thirteenth on the Earth Ranking and feuded with Floating Earth Spirit.
• Su Yu reached Nine Star City as Long He and Dawo fought over the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, then watched the city lord persuade the two Sun Moon experts to stand down.

Su Yu entered Nine Star City, learned that the powerful races had divided the Star Mansion’s entry gates while humanity remained divided, and bought rankings to gather intelligence. After discovering that Tianduo planned to challenge Floating Earth Spirit, Su Yu disguised himself as Floating Earth Spirit and lured Tianduo out of the city, leaving his capture plan poised to begin.

• Su Yu paid the fee to enter Nine Star City and heard the powerful races divide the Star Mansion gates, with humanity’s allocation disputed between the War God Hall and the Seeking Realm.
• Zhu Guangshen claimed 200 Star Mansion slots for the Seeking Realm, and Su Yu recognized him as Zhu Tiandao’s eldest son.
• Su Yu bought the Dao Proving Ranking and the Hunter Heaven Ranking, where he spotted Liu Hong and Dan Xiong among the newly listed humans.
• Su Yu learned that Tianduo intended to challenge Floating Earth Spirit and decided to impersonate him to draw Tianduo out.
• Su Yu staged a sighting of Floating Earth Spirit in a sparsely populated stretch of sea, prompting Tianduo to leave Nine Star City in pursuit.
• Floating Earth Spirit hid in the ancient city while Shi Zun chased the false sighting toward the sea, unaware that Su Yu was waiting to capture Tianduo.

Su Yu defeated Tianduo, sealed his Sea of Will, and disguised himself as the Primordial Demon genius. He staged a fake Ancient Space discovery to spread a story that Tianduo had seized an Ancient Invincible’s corpse and powerful weapons, then fled as the races began pursuing the supposed treasure.

• Tianduo tracked down Su Yu, whom he believed was Floating Earth Spirit, and they fought across the sea.
• Tianduo used Demon Descent to break through Su Yu’s Five Elements Purgatory, but Su Yu countered with his own Demon Descent, essence blood, and Expansion Divine Hammer, shattering Tianduo’s body.
• Su Yu had Little Fur Ball seal and swallow Tianduo’s Sea of Will, then transformed himself into Tianduo and created the appearance of an ongoing battle.
• Su Yu shattered his Beast Script Divine Script to imitate an Ancient Space collapsing, then staged a fight over a corpse and claimed Tianduo had seized an Ancient Invincible’s remains and treasures.
• Onlookers found valuable ancient arrows and spread the story across Nine Star Island, prompting experts from many races to pursue Tianduo and Floating Earth Spirit.
• Su Yu discarded Tianduo’s vibrating sub-ranking list when Hunter Pavilion offered 300 drops of Xuanhuang Liquid, and he fled to let the rumor spread.

Su Yu entered Xinghong Ancient City to find the missing Floating Earth Spirit before it could expose his plans, while factions across the Star Sea searched for Tianduo and the Ancient Era corpse. After narrowing down the occupied houses, Su Yu identified the room where the Floating Earth Spirit was hiding and left his next move unresolved.

• Shi Zun told Su Yu that the Floating Earth Spirit had escaped into the ancient city after trying to take his Stone Person Heart, and Su Yu decided to search there.
• Dawo, Modona, Hunter Pavilion, and other factions tried to contact or locate Tianduo as experts investigated the shattered space and the Ancient Era corpse.
• Hunter Pavilion and the Faceless Elder began identifying the corpse from its traces and the report that it had carried a longbow.
• Su Yu reached Xinghong Ancient City, disguised himself as an undead, and searched its occupied houses while avoiding the city lord's attention.
• Su Yu narrowed his search to a handful of rooms, and the Floating Earth Spirit finally spoke from inside one, allowing Su Yu to recognize it.

Su Yu trapped the Floating Earth Spirit inside a sealed ancient house after surviving his divine talismans, then announced an auction in the ancient city to draw buyers with the promised corpse and a supposedly universal Ancient Breathing Technique. The auction was set for the day after tomorrow, and news of the technique immediately spread beyond the city.

• Su Yu broke into the Floating Earth Spirit's room, survived his attacks by absorbing their power, and forced him to seal himself inside fused water and earth.
• Su Yu moved the sealed Floating Earth Spirit to an empty ancient house in the inner district and rigged the room so he would know if the seal broke.
• Su Yu decided to hold an auction in the ancient city, where attackers could not easily reach him.
• Su Yu announced that he would auction an Ancient Invincible's corpse, its treasures, and an Ancient Breathing Technique that supposedly required no acupoint openings.
• A White Mask and other decision-makers reacted strongly to the breathing technique, and someone rushed out of the city to spread the news.

Su Yu, posing as Tianduo, set terms for auctioning the Ancient Invincible corpse and prepared for the many powerful factions gathering in Xinghong Ancient City. As the auction began to approach, he tested ways to escape or hide by exploiting the city’s death qi and resident transformation.

• Su Yu rejected requests to delay the auction, demanded valuable cultivation resources, and required each bidder to provide a captured Shanhai expert as security.
• The Dark Demon Dragon demanded thirty percent of the auction proceeds, and Su Yu agreed in exchange for Heavenly Origin Qi and protection in the city.
• Zhu Guangshen ordered Shadow to capture a Shanhai expert and explained why the Ancient Breathing Technique could increase a cultivator’s potential.
• As experts from across the races rushed toward Xinghong Ancient City, the stone sculpture in Tianmie Ancient City suspected that Su Yu was behind the news.
• Su Yu found eight Sun Moon experts guarding the city gates, then tested how the ancient house’s death qi transformed residents and discovered he could reverse its effects.
• On the second day, Su Yu accepted a Hunter Pavilion ranking list, ignored advance offers from the major races, and continued planning his escape before the auction began on the third day.

Su Yu, disguised as Tianduo, opened an auction in the ancient city and presented a forged collection of ancient treasures to powerful races and the Hunter Pavilion. The buyers were convinced by the items’ apparent authenticity, and the chapter ended with the Hunter Pavilion debating whether to purchase them despite being unable to identify the corpse.

• Su Yu ignored the Rade Family’s demand that Tianduo return and insisted that auction guests pay the entrance fee and follow his rules.
• Powerful factions arrived with captured Shanhai experts as payment, while the Five Elements Race questioned Tianduo about Floating Earth Spirit and the Primordial Demon Race defended him.
• Su Yu displayed a longbow that appeared to be an ancient heavenly weapon, then showed a powerful corpse containing an ancient counterattack divine character.
• Su Yu revealed a jade talisman and demonstrated the Body Tempering Breathing Technique, persuading the gathered experts that the ancient method and other treasures were genuine.
• The Hunter Pavilion’s Faceless Elders investigated the auction report but could not identify the corpse, and they debated buying the valuable collection despite the remaining uncertainty.

Su Yu auctioned an ancient corpse, a breathing technique, a heavenly weapon, and a divine script, drawing a fierce bidding war that ended with the God Race paying 2,300 strands of Heavenly Profound Light in assorted treasures. After completing the exchange, he used the Shanhai admission fees to unleash a horde of undead and escaped by disguising himself as one.

• Su Yu demonstrated the corpse's breathing technique and let the assembled experts examine the death-corroded remains, which the Tianyi Divine Race identified as an ancient member of their race.
• Su Yu required ten drops of Sun Moon Essence Blood or equivalent resources as a bidding deposit, then opened the auction with Heavenly Profound Light as the standard currency.
• Zhan Wushuang, Dawo, Xuan Wuji, and other bidders drove the price upward until the God Race won at 2,300 strands, offering treasures that Su Yu inspected and accepted in exchange for the auction items.
• Su Yu arranged to give the Dark Demon Dragon its thirty-percent share after moving to a safer room, and returned the human race's admission fees by kicking two Shanhai experts toward Zhu Guangshen and Qin Hao.
• After handing the auction items to Zhan Wushuang, Su Yu detonated the restrained Shanhai admission fees, summoned a swarm of undead, transformed into an undead, and slipped away amid the chaos.

Su Yu impersonated Tianduo, deceived the gathered races into paying 2,300 strands of Heavenly Profound Light, then killed Tianduo and escaped among the undead. The revelation sent Xinghong Ancient City into chaos and drew Invincibles from across the realms toward the city to hunt for him.

• Su Yu’s apparent flight and Tianduo’s death baffled the gathered experts, while the Dark Demon Dragon sealed Xinghong Ancient City and ordered a search.
• Qin Fang, Shadow, and Modona suspected that Tianduo had been Su Yu in disguise, and Dao Cheng loudly accused Su Yu of killing Tianduo.
• Zhu Guangshen and Qin Hao realized Su Yu had used a genuine Sun Moon Eighth Level Tianyi corpse as part of the deception, and they sent for King of Great Ming and King of Great Qin.
• King of Great Tang spread news that Su Yu had swindled the Gods race out of 2,300 strands of Heavenly Profound Light, prompting human, demon, god, and dragon Invincibles to head for Xinghong Ancient City.
• King of Great Qin ordered more Eternals to guard the borders and urged the others to capture Su Yu, while Wan Tiansheng learned of the scam and doubted Su Yu could return alive.

Qin Hao stopped killing undead, but Su Yu remained trapped inside the sealed ancient city as the undead multiplied and the races searched for him. As Su Yu weighed hiding or becoming an ancient city resident, the city’s stone statue and Big Fur Ball began considering whether to intervene.

• Qin Hao rebuked Xuan Wuji and halted the slaughter after an Immortal expert warned that it could draw out powerful undead.
• Zhan Wushuang and the other races searched the undead and ancient houses for Su Yu, while Modona warned that Su Yu might be hiding in a house.
• Su Yu hid in one of his prepared safe houses as Zhu Guangshen’s Sky Devouring Ants were killed, creating thousands of additional undead and thickening the death qi.
• The Black Dragon revealed that the passages by the moat remained open but dangerously saturated with death qi, prompting Sun Moon experts to guard the exits and further restricting Su Yu’s escape.
• Su Yu considered hiding in the City Lord’s Mansion or transforming into an ancient city resident, while the stone statue spotted him and Big Fur Ball pondered whether to visit the Sacred City’s guardian.

Su Yu hid in an ancient house in Xinghong Ancient City and used Heavenly Profound Light and Heavenly Blood Fruits to forge his body while Invincibles gathered outside. King Daxia and King of Great Ming arrived to defend him, but the God Race proposed sealing the city for three years, leaving Su Yu's fate uncertain.

• Su Yu began cultivating with his five hundred strands of Heavenly Profound Light and Heavenly Blood Fruits, completing his thirty-sixth body forging and gaining a powerful natural defensive barrier.
• Zhu Guangshen and Qin Hao discussed Su Yu's peril and the human race's reluctance to risk war, while the Golden Dragon grand elder arrived and arranged for Long Wuyou to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
• The Golden Dragon grand elder and an Earth Spirit Race Invincible gathered outside Nine Star Island, followed by Divine King Pingyu and other Invincibles.
• King Daxia arrived and struck Divine King Pingyu with a blade, demonstrating his strength as more Invincibles assembled around the city.
• Divine King Pingyu proposed sealing Xinghong Ancient City for three years, and the stone statue challenged the plan before silently observing Su Yu's cultivation.

As Invincibles pressured Xinghong Ancient City, Su Yu fortified his body and Willpower while King Daxia and King of Great Ming tried to restrain the forces outside. The chapter left Qin Hao and the Five Elements experts resisting a plan to lure powerful undead into the city, while Su Yu remained excluded from the City Lord’s Mansion and under threat.

• Su Yu completed his thirty-eighth body forging, then learned that King of Great Ming had warned the Invincibles that powerful undead could recognize his disguise.
• King Daxia threatened Black Demon and the Invincibles outside the city, forcing Black Demon to reconsider sheltering the gathered experts.
• Su Yu refused to rely on the human Invincibles, asked Little Fur Ball to summon its Big Big, and began consuming Sun Moon Profound Yellow Liquid and Invincible handbooks to grow stronger.
• Su Yu advanced to the Lingyun Sixth Level, outlined the second-rank Endure divine script from King Dazhou’s handbook, and completed his thirty-ninth body forging.
• King Dazhou divined that Su Yu might fight until his body collapsed, become undead, and die, while King of Great Qin questioned the prediction.
• Black Demon offered refuge to everyone except Su Yu, and Qin Hao and the Five Elements experts resisted letting the crowd enter the City Lord’s Mansion or forcing Su Yu out.

As the great races prepared to attack the ancient city and kill Su Yu, he strengthened himself and chose to become a resident to evade their hunt. His name then vanished from the Hunter Heaven Ranking, making the heavens believe he was dead.

• The Dark Demon Dragon refused to shelter small-race cultivators in the City Lord’s Mansion, and a Tianyi Divine Race expert killed one who protested.
• Su Yu’s conviction helped him advance to Lingyun Seventh Level, complete his fortieth body forging, and later raise his physical strength through further forging.
• Zhu Guangshen allowed most races into the City Lord’s Mansion while Qin Hao and the others continued blocking seven powerful races, creating a standoff at the gates.
• Invincibles threatened to attack the city in two days and search houses five days later, while King Daxia and the King of Great Ming could not promise further support.
• Su Yu used the jade talisman to undergo conversion; a speaking Undead finished the process, leaving him a Living Dead whom the city’s Undead treated as one of their own.
• Su Yu’s name vanished from the Hunter Heaven Ranking, and people across the heavens concluded that he had died.

After Su Yu’s name vanished from the Hunter Heaven Ranking, King Daxia attacked Xinghong Ancient City and King of Great Ming rushed inside, triggering a battle between Invincibles, Undead Monarchs, and the ancient city guardians that destroyed Nine Star Island. Su Yu survived as an ancient city resident and, after the fighting ended, cheerfully scavenged corpses and tokens while Xinghong and Star Moon Monarch considered his future.

• King Daxia and King of Great Ming learned that Su Yu had disappeared from the Hunter Heaven Ranking, while the Hunter Pavilion elder said he was either dead or had become an ancient city resident.
• King Daxia attacked Xinghong Ancient City, and King of Great Ming entered to rescue Qin Hao and Zhu Guangshen, prompting Invincibles and Undead Monarchs to battle inside the city.
• Xinghong protected the ancient houses and summoned the Thirty-Six Holy Cities’ guardians, who attacked the invaders as Nine Star Island collapsed and many experts died or fled.
• King Daxia and King of Great Ming escaped with Qin Hao and the others, while Xinghong ordered most of the Undead Monarchs to return and the ancient city sealed itself.
• Su Yu emerged from a protected ancient house, collected a Sun Moon corpse and Ancient City Tokens, and treated the undead like household guards.
• Star Moon Monarch remarked that Su Yu seemed born to be undead and suggested grooming him as a future city lord, leaving Xinghong uncertain.
