Summary: Celestial Corpse True Lord

Key Plot Points & Events

• Pursuit and Death of He Guang: He Guang, who participated in a failed attack on Fire Kite Island (where his clan uncle He Yang was killed), attempts to flee but is hunted down by Wang Chuanming. Despite using a Calamity Substitute Pearl to survive one killing blow, He Guang is destroyed by the Giant Falcon Puppet's lightning. Wang Chuanming captures his Nascent Soul in a golden tower and takes his storage ring, then escapes after a brief skirmish with Water-Wave Tornadoes and pursuing cultivators from the Fire Hog Clan's territory.
• A Witness: A fat yellow-robed elder observes the battle, suspects the Wang Family is plotting something, and hurries back to report.
• The Conspiracy: In the dark, Yin-qi-shrouded Heavenly Yin Mountain Range, Celestial Corpse True Lord (Body Integration Middle Stage) meets with Profound Old Ghost (Body Integration Middle Stage). Celestial Corpse True Lord reveals that, based on intelligence, the Azure Lotus Wang Family possesses either a Seventh-Order Lightning Absorption Pearl or a high-grade Tribulation-Transcending Treasure, plus the Celestial Void Jade Tome from Nine Swords True Lord's inheritance.
• The Plan: Celestial Corpse True Lord, desperate because he cannot survive his fifth Grand Heavenly Tribulation, proposes a joint attack on the Wang Family. Profound Old Ghost, who faces the same tribulation in 4,000 years and failed to find tribulation materials in the Qian Yuan Continent, is persuaded. They note Wang Changsheng (Grand Vast True Person) is absent from Azure Lotus Island, making this the perfect opportunity. They plan to gamble; if they fail or if their target proves false, they will simply leave the Profound Spirit Continent.

Character Developments

• Wang Chuanming: Demonstrates strength, decisiveness, and ruthlessness in eliminating He Guang. His use of the Giant Falcon Puppet shows the Wang Family's sophisticated combat resources.
• Celestial Corpse True Lord: Portrayed as a rogue cultivator at the end of his rope; desperation has pushed him from caution into high-risk action. He is pragmatic — willing to leave the continent permanently for a chance at salvation.
• Profound Old Ghost: Cautious and somewhat suspicious of the plan, but easily convinced by the logic that a gamble now is better than certain death later. His honesty about his failed search on another continent highlights the scarcity of high-grade tribulation treasures.

Significant Themes

• Desperation and Gambling: Both Body Integration cultivators are cornered by their imminent Grand Heavenly Tribulations. The chapter emphasizes that without high-grade treasures, even powerful cultivators face certain death; this drives them to undertake reckless, all-or-nothing schemes.
• The Cost of Rising Power: The Wang Family's rapid ascent and accumulated treasures (including a Body Integration realm member, the Nine Swords True Lord inheritance, and a defensive upper-grade Heavenly Treasure) make them a magnet for desperation attacks — especially when their strongest protector is known to be away.
• Intelligence and Opportunity: The plan is based on information (the family's treasures and Wang Changsheng's absence). Rogue cultivators view the world as temporary; a failed attack has no permanent consequences if they can simply flee the continent.

Character Interactions

• Wang Chuanming vs. He Guang: A one-sided pursuit and execution. No verbal exchange; it establishes the Wang Family's enforcement capability.
• Celestial Corpse True Lord & Profound Old Ghost: Their conversation is the core of the chapter. The True Lord does the persuading, laying out the stakes and the favorable circumstances; the Old Ghost initially objects but eventually agrees. Their exchange shows a partnership of mutual desperation, built on shared risk rather than trust.

Chapter Summary: “Alien Race Attacks”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Giant Tooth Clan, a declining but still powerful race under the Golden Scale Clan, launches a coordinated assault on Wang Family territory. Its hostility stems from a previous incident in which a Human Race Body Integration cultivator invaded its lands and killed one of its elders and many clansmen.
• Snow Lotus Island, bordering the Giant Tooth Clan’s territory, becomes a primary target. Six Void Refinement cultivators led by Gu Hao, a late-stage cultivator, attack the island.
• Wang Shenfeng, a newly stationed Poison Cultivator at the Void Refinement Early Stage, receives the warning and mobilizes the island’s defenses. The Wang Family had anticipated an attack and secretly replaced both its defensive personnel and Island Protection Formations.
• Gu Hao’s golden mountain treasure is weakened by Wang Shenfeng’s poisonous purple miasma before it can damage the formation. Wang Shenfeng then summons six enormous venomous flood dragons, beginning a fierce battle against the invading cultivators.
• Azure Gourd Island is simultaneously attacked by more than a million Demon Beasts and six Void Refinement cultivators from the Snow Clam Clan. Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong defend the island after replacing Wang Shenxiong.
• The Wang Family’s newly established Thunder Attribute Formation, powered by a Sixth Order Lightning Attraction Pearl, destroys large numbers of low-rank Demon Beasts before they can reach the island. The Snow Clam Clan’s cultivators also attack, but the invaders fail to gain an early advantage.
• Multiple Wang Family islands come under attack at the same time. However, Wang Moshan’s preparations—relocating vulnerable family members, reinforcing the Frontline, changing defensive personnel, and upgrading formations—cause the Alien Race forces to suffer initial losses.
• Elsewhere, Wu Yan and allied cultivators discuss their own plans. Rather than obeying Long Xiao’s order to search for Long Qingfeng, Wu Yan decides to attack Azure Lotus Island and have Demon Beasts assault Skysea Market. He considers Long Xiao too weak and politically insignificant to justify risking their lives.
• Wu Yan recognizes that the various Alien Races are using one another as potential cannon fodder. He intends to exploit the growing conflict and “fish in troubled waters.”

Character Developments

• Wang Shenfeng is established as a capable and composed defensive commander. He responds immediately to the invasion and effectively uses his Poison cultivation and the island’s formation to counter Gu Hao’s attack.
• Wang Moshan is proven correct in anticipating the Alien Race’s surprise offensive. His strategic preparations give the Wang Family a major defensive advantage.
• Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong demonstrate their reliability as frontline defenders by controlling Azure Gourd Island’s formation and coordinating the island’s cultivators and treasures.
• Gu Hao is shown to be aggressive but cautious. After discovering that the Wang Family changed both its stationed cultivator and defensive formation, he realizes that capturing Snow Lotus Island will be far more difficult than expected, yet continues the attack.
• Wu Yan emerges as pragmatic, independent, and politically calculating. He refuses to blindly follow Long Xiao’s command, prioritizing practical gains and survival over loyalty to a weak leader.
• Long Xiao is indirectly characterized as inexperienced and lacking authority. Wu Yan views him as a nominal leader controlled by the Blood Whale Race rather than someone worthy of obedience.

Significant Themes

• Preparation and intelligence determine victory. The Wang Family’s concealed troop transfers and formation changes prevent the Alien Races from exploiting known weaknesses.
• Retaliation and escalating racial conflict drive the invasion. The attacks are not based solely on territory but on revenge for the Wang Family’s earlier campaigns into Alien Race lands and its search for the Celestial Void Jade Tome.
• Political distrust and factional maneuvering shape the wider war. The Golden Scale Clan, Silver Shark Clan, Thunder Crane Clan, and their subordinate races appear willing to manipulate one another rather than fight directly.
• Pragmatism versus loyalty is highlighted through Wu Yan’s refusal to follow Long Xiao’s order. In a chaotic war, commanders prioritize benefits, survival, and factional interests over formal authority.
• The Wang Family’s growing power is evident in its ability to launch offensives deep into enemy territory, acquire important resources, and rapidly improve its defensive infrastructure.

Character Interactions

• Wang Shenfeng and the Wang Family forces: He issues orders through the Message Disk and coordinates the island’s defenses against the Giant Tooth Clan.
• Wang Shenfeng and Gu Hao: Their confrontation centers on competing formations and treasures, with Wang Shenfeng’s poison-based defenses neutralizing Gu Hao’s golden mountain attack.
• Wang Xiuling and Wang Xiulong with the Snow Clam Clan: The two Wang Family cultivators direct the island’s defensive formation while their enemies command Demon Beasts and launch attacks from the air.
• Wu Yan and the Black-Robed Elder: They debate why the Alien Races have suddenly united against the Wang Family. Wu Yan persuades him that attacking the Wang Family is more useful than pursuing Long Qingfeng.
• Wu Yan and Long Xiao: Though Long Xiao does not appear directly, Wu Yan openly rejects his authority, arguing that the Void Refinement-stage Palace Master is unworthy of commanding stronger cultivators.
• The Alien Races among themselves: Their cooperation is uneasy and self-interested. Each faction hopes others will bear the greatest risks while it benefits from the resulting disorder.

• Wang Moshan orders the evacuation of women, children, and elderly, reinforcement of defenses, and vetting of clansmen entering the island.

Alien Race Attacks the Wang Family

The Golden Scale Clan and Silver Shark Clan, despite historical enmity, launch a coordinated assault on the Wang Family’s territories. Possible causes: a leak about the Nine Radiance Bottle or the Myriad Spirit Bottle, or deliberate provocation by the Lizard Race remnants seeking revenge.

Wang Ruyan’s Countermeasures

Wang Moshan reports to Wang Ruyan on Azure Lotus Island. She orders:

• Strengthening defenses.
• Sending for reinforcements from Townsea Palace.
• Recalling Qingcheng and Meng Bin.
• Drawing Void Refinement cultivators from subordinate forces to the frontline.
• Moving a group of elites inland to preserve the clan’s foundation.

Siege of Skysea Market

Over a million demon beasts, led by two Body Integration cultivators, attack Skysea Market. Zhao Yunxiao and Qin Tianxue defend using a Tier 7 formation (Heavenly Lightning Spirit Extinction Formation) and send for reinforcements; they avoid a direct, risky fight.

The Schemes of Heavenly Fiend and Celestial Corpse True Lord

These two villains reveal they killed four Alien Race Body Integration cultivators while pretending to help the Wang Family. This deed placed the blame on the Wang Family and triggered the alien attacks. They now head to Azure Lotus Island, hoping to seize a rumored high-grade Tribulation-Transcending Treasure.

Attack on Yaoguang Island

Tens of thousands of demon birds, over 100,000 demon beasts, and five Void Refinement cultivators (led by Jin Hao) assault Yaoguang Island. Wang Zongyun activates a formation, using illusions to make the island vanish and causing the demon beasts to attack each other. Jin Hao recognizes an Illusion Array but cannot find its eye, leaving him wary.

Direct Confrontation near Azure Lotus Island

Wu Yan and a cyan-robed old man approach Azure Lotus Island, triggering warnings. Wang Yidao intercepts them; when they demand the surrender of Long Qingfeng, he refuses.
