Chapter Summaries

Chen Mu concealed the truth about his reincarnation while Zhuan Attendant decided to secretly support him, believing he was an unregistered reincarnated Immortal. Chen Mu resisted the offer and claimed his memories were damaged, then named the fabricated Azure Lotus Immortal Court, leaving Zhuan Attendant puzzled.

• Zhuan Attendant suspected Chen Mu was an unregistered reincarnator and debated whether to help him or report him.
• Zhuan Attendant chose to conceal Chen Mu’s identity and offered to support him, but Chen Mu refused and warned that the choice could bring disaster.
• Chen Mu claimed that gaps in his memories limited his prospects and made Zhuan Attendant’s help unlikely to pay off.
• Zhuan Attendant questioned Chen Mu about his missing memories and which Immortal Court he had belonged to.
• Chen Mu named the Azure Lotus Immortal Court, and Zhuan Attendant searched his memories but could not recall such a court.

Chen Mu pretended to be an Immortal’s Reincarnated Body and followed Zhuan Attendant to a Cave Residence in the Black Moon Sect, where he risked cultivating a method from his past simulations. Zhuan Attendant identified it as the Original Immortal Path, an ancient path eliminated over seven hundred epoch eras ago, and reconsidered the value of his investment.

• Chen Mu claimed he came from Azure Lotus Immortal Court, and Zhuan Attendant believed his memories came from a distant era.
• Zhuan Attendant explained that Chen Mu would need to change cultivation methods after leaving the Cage World and warned him to stay in his Cave Residence until he reached Immortal Transformation.
• Zhuan Attendant brought Chen Mu to a large Cave Residence and offered to protect him while he changed cultivation paths.
• Chen Mu chose to risk cultivating a method he had learned in the Eighth Universe rather than continue pretending to have amnesia.
• Chen Mu rapidly advanced through Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation in the Immortal Realm.
• Zhuan Attendant recognized Chen Mu’s method as the Original Immortal Path, concluded that his former immortal court might have vanished, and doubted whether investing in him was worthwhile.

Chen Mu learned that the Original Immortal Path had been eliminated and that the routes to the lower realms were severed, making Immortality through that path extremely difficult. After Zhuan Attendant explained the six surviving Dao Traditions, Chen Mu chose to switch to the Lifespan Immortal Path.

• Zhuan Attendant recognized Chen Mu's Original Immortal Path as a cultivation method from seven hundred epoch eras ago and explained that it had been eliminated but not completely severed.
• Zhuan Attendant warned Chen Mu that the lower-realm passages had been cut off and urged him to consider a current cultivation path he could help support.
• Chen Mu learned that the Original Immortal Path's surviving Immortals were exceedingly rare and considered why Zhuan Attendant had dated his previous life to seven hundred epoch eras ago.
• Chen Mu asked which cultivation paths remained suitable in the current Immortal Realm.
• Zhuan Attendant listed the six surviving Dao Traditions and explained that the Azure Heaven Immortal Court followed the Lifespan Dao.
• Chen Mu decided to switch to the Lifespan Immortal Path.

Chen Mu agreed to cultivate the Lifespan Immortal Path, and Zhuan Attendant promised to support him while secretly hoping to benefit from his supposed status as a reincarnated Immortal. Ten thousand years later, Chen Mu was still accumulating Lifespan Nutrient in a small world, with the first realm of the path still millions of years away.

• Zhuan Attendant welcomed Chen Mu's choice of the Lifespan Immortal Path and offered resources and help with his identity.
• Zhuan Attendant resolved to invest in Chen Mu, believing that helping a reincarnated Immortal could improve his own chances of attaining Immortality.
• Chen Mu considered the bargain worthwhile, and Zhuan Attendant left to arrange resources and a Heavenly Dao Contract.
• Chen Mu received unfamiliar memories about the Lifespan Immortal Path and began cultivating in a small Ash Soil World.
• Ten thousand years after Chen Mu arrived in the Immortal World, he continued absorbing Lifespan Nutrient and learned that reaching the Lifespan Nourishing Realm would take him more than eleven million years.

After ten million years of cultivating in seclusion, Chen Mu successfully learned the Nourishing Lifespan Art and entered the Lifespan Nourishing Realm. Zhuan Attendant registered him as an Outer Sect Disciple and promised greater support if he eventually reached the Lifespan Severing Realm.

• Chen Mu continued transforming Lifespan Nutrient in the Ash Soil World while Zhuan Attendant invested only modest resources under their Heavenly Dao Contract.
• Ten million years passed as Chen Mu cultivated in seclusion, and he successfully entered the Lifespan Nourishing Realm.
• Zhuan Attendant returned to the Ash Soil World after recovering from his injuries and told Chen Mu to stop absorbing Lifespan Nutrient for now.
• Zhuan Attendant registered Chen Mu at the Attendant Pavilion as an Outer Sect Disciple and granted him access to several small worlds near Red Pond.
• Zhuan Attendant promised to support Chen Mu without reservation if he reached the Lifespan Severing Realm, and Chen Mu accepted the arrangement without surprise.

After 1.2 million years of safe service in the Black Moon Sect, Chen Mu decided to leave his monitoring post and begin another stage of bitter cultivation. Chang Zheng delivered a Lifespan Essence Crystal from Zhuan Attendant, and Chen Mu prepared to submit his task before returning to a small world.

• Zhuan Attendant handed authority over the small world to Chen Mu and left, troubled by losses caused by a personal disciple of the Immortal Method Pavilion.
• Chen Mu reflected on the Black Moon Sect’s standing in the Azure Heaven Immortal Court and resolved to cultivate safely within the sect.
• After 1.2 million years monitoring small worlds through the Crimson Source Mirror, Chen Mu decided to begin his next stage of cultivation.
• Chang Zheng delivered a square black Lifespan Essence Crystal from Zhuan Attendant and waited for Chen Mu to refine it.
• Chen Mu told Chang Zheng he would submit his task and leave before refining the crystal, and Chang Zheng departed.

Chen Mu began a long cultivation session in the Gray Earth Small World and drew nearly a hundred million years of Lifespan Nutrient over twenty-three million years. Zhuan Attendant arrived gravely injured after a newly promoted Core Disciple nearly killed him, leaving both men to consider why she had targeted him.

• Chen Mu returned to the Gray Earth Small World, used Lifespan Nutrients and a Lifespan Essence Crystal to cultivate, and asked Zhuan Attendant not to disturb him unless something major happened.
• After twenty-three million years, Chen Mu had drawn nearly a hundred million years of Lifespan Nutrient and continued cultivating without reaching his limit.
• Zhuan Attendant appeared badly injured, used hundreds of thousands of Lifespan Nutrients and numerous treasures to suppress his injuries, and recovered from immediate danger after 3,420 years.
• Zhuan Attendant told Chen Mu that a personal disciple he had provoked became the sect's twenty-seventh Core Disciple and nearly killed him with one technique.
• Chen Mu questioned why the Core Disciple had pursued Zhuan Attendant over a male favorite, prompting Zhuan Attendant to suspect she had another reason for targeting him.
• Zhuan Attendant insisted he had left no clues and dismissed the possibility that the Heavenly Dao Pavilion had exposed his identity, while Chen Mu was relieved that the incident did not appear to involve him.

Chen Mu cultivated for another fifty million years in the Lifespan Nourishing Realm, while Zhuan Attendant urged him to advance toward the Lifespan Severing Realm. Chen Mu continued to claim he had only a thirty percent chance, though he privately believed another fifty million years could raise his odds to at least fifty percent, and he ended the chapter feeling the strain of prolonged cultivation.

• Zhuan Attendant gave Chen Mu more Lifespan Nutrient and said he could not provide advanced resources while recovering from his injuries.
• After nearly fifty million years of cultivation, Chen Mu had absorbed 280 million years' worth of Lifespan Nutrient and told Zhuan Attendant he was not confident about breaking through.
• Zhuan Attendant revealed that his lifespan was draining after the Core Disciple damaged his foundation, leaving him with less than 300 million years to live.
• When Zhuan Attendant asked about Chen Mu's chances after another fifty million years, Chen Mu said thirty percent, privately believing his odds could reach at least fifty percent.
• Another fifty million years passed, bringing Chen Mu's total absorbed Lifespan Nutrient to 430 million years; he again told Zhuan Attendant his chances were thirty percent and felt he needed a rest.

Zhuan Attendant decided to use the Flower Shifting Immortal Technique to give Chen Mu a complete Lifespan Foundation and improve his odds of breaking through to the Lifespan Severing Realm. Chen Mu accepted the decision, and after Zhuan Attendant activated the technique, Chen Mu lost consciousness and awoke sensing tremendous changes in his body.

• Zhuan Attendant offered to raise Chen Mu’s breakthrough chances from thirty percent to sixty percent by using the Flower Shifting Immortal Technique.
• Chen Mu warned that the forbidden technique could fail and expose them, but Zhuan Attendant explained that his damaged Lifespan Foundation left him with only a little over two hundred million years to live.
• Chen Mu tried to dissuade Zhuan Attendant and offered to proceed with a fifty percent chance, but Zhuan Attendant refused to change his decision.
• Zhuan Attendant revealed that he believed Chen Mu had previously undergone the Reincarnation Immortal Technique, which convinced him Chen Mu could bear another forbidden technique.
• Chen Mu agreed to begin, and Zhuan Attendant activated a glowing diamond-shaped wooden stele that plunged Chen Mu into darkness.
• Chen Mu regained consciousness and sensed tremendous changes in his body.

Chen Mu successfully used the Flower Shifting Immortal Technique to establish a Lifespan Immortal Foundation and broke through to the initial stage of the Lifespan Severing Realm. After millions of years without further progress, Zhuan Attendant realized Chen Mu was absorbing the foundation's energy but not advancing, and confronted him in anger.

• Zhuan Attendant confirmed that the forbidden technique had successfully grafted a Lifespan Immortal Foundation onto Chen Mu, giving Chen Mu confidence to attempt his breakthrough.
• Chen Mu severed his lifespan, shed hundreds of millions of years of Lifespan Nutrient, and survived with a natural lifespan exceeding four hundred million years.
• After restoring his body over two thousand three hundred years, Chen Mu reached the initial stage of the Lifespan Severing Realm, and Zhuan Attendant congratulated him.
• Zhuan Attendant explained that he had invested in Chen Mu so Chen Mu could eventually nourish him, while Chen Mu recognized that the Simulator prevented him from advancing beyond his current realm.
• After three million two hundred thousand years of fruitless cultivation, Zhuan Attendant demanded to know why Chen Mu absorbed the foundation's energy without improving.

Chen Mu explained that he could no longer advance in cultivation, while Zhuan Attendant remained convinced he was hiding a plan. After forty million years, Chen Mu met the Black Moon Sect Master, who told him that the Azure Lotus Immortal Court had not existed seven hundred Epoch Eras ago and that the Azure Lotus Immortal Venerable from the Original Immortal Court could not have reincarnated into the Immortal Realm.

• Zhuan Attendant examined Chen Mu and discovered that his body absorbed energy without integrating it, leaving him unable to advance beyond the Lifespan Severing Realm.
• Zhuan Attendant questioned Chen Mu about his condition and suspected the Reincarnation Immortal Technique or Flower Shifting Immortal Technique had disrupted his plans.
• Chen Mu said he could not advance any further and that Zhuan Attendant would learn the truth before his lifespan ran out, but Zhuan Attendant remained suspicious.
• Chen Mu stopped engaging with Zhuan Attendant and spent time deducing the Wizard Immortal Cultivation Path as forty million years passed.
• The Black Moon Sect Master told Chen Mu that the Azure Lotus Immortal Court had not existed seven hundred Epoch Eras ago and that the Azure Lotus Immortal Venerable from the Original Immortal Court could not have reincarnated into the Immortal Realm.

Chen Mu told the Black Moon Sect Master that the Azure Lotus Immortal Court was fabricated and that he had lost his Immortal Seal after reincarnating. She believed a powerful figure had sealed his path forward and planned to take him to the Azure Heaven Immortal Court in a hundred million years; 120 million years passed.

• Chen Mu confirmed that he had invented the Azure Lotus Immortal Court and said it had no connection to the Azure Lotus Immortal Venerable.
• The Black Moon Sect Master asked whether Chen Mu's Immortal Seal had been shattered during reincarnation, and Chen Mu implied he had lost it along with his memories.
• The Black Moon Sect Master examined Chen Mu and concluded that a powerful figure had sealed his path forward, though Chen Mu said his consciousness had become incomplete during reincarnation.
• The Black Moon Sect Master told Chen Mu to stay with her in the small world and promised to take him to the Azure Heaven Immortal Court in a hundred million years.
• Chen Mu declined to respond, and 120 million years passed.

Chen Mu learned that his incomplete consciousness was tied to his reincarnation after falling in the Twelfth Immortal Realm War, but Mist Mountain Immortal could not help him overcome his limits. As Chen Mu reached the end of the simulation, a Golden Origin Inspector and a red-robed young man searched for him across universes, and Chen Mu was abruptly expelled from the Reincarnation Space.

• Mist Mountain Immortal identified Chen Mu's consciousness as incomplete and asked whether he had fallen in the Twelfth Immortal Realm War.
• Mist Mountain Immortal explained that only a Heavenly Court Honored Lord or King Lord might help Chen Mu nurture a new soul, while the Black Moon Sect Master listened in shock.
• Time stopped, Chen Mu vanished, and the Golden Origin Inspector and a red-robed young man appeared to search the Black Moon Sect Master and Mist Mountain Immortal's memories.
• The red-robed young man found their memories completely scrubbed, while the Golden Origin Inspector reversed time and confirmed that the escapee had been there.
• The red-robed young man urged the Golden Origin Inspector to stop searching in the Seventh Universe, but the Inspector refused to abandon the pursuit.
• Chen Mu regained consciousness in the Reincarnation Space, then was immediately kicked out.

After the Reincarnation Simulation ended unexpectedly, Chen Mu inherited the Lifespan Severing Realm in reality and worried that the Simulator might interrupt future simulations. He decided to investigate the cause through no more than five Reincarnation Simulations, then started a Text Simulation with an Exploratory personality.

• Chen Mu inherited his Lifespan Severing Realm from the simulation and wondered why it had ended without his choice.
• Chen Mu considered whether an Immortal had killed him or the Simulator had ended the simulation, but could not determine the cause.
• Chen Mu worried that future simulations might be interrupted, especially if he spent years stacking them.
• Chen Mu decided to investigate through five Reincarnation Simulations at most.
• Chen Mu used his saved Text Simulation and chose the Exploratory personality.

After thirty-five years, Chen Mu learned of the Body Cleansing Stone and a nearby realm that might be connected to Man Su Er, then used five accumulated Reincarnation Simulations to investigate the Immortal Realm. The simulations convinced him that the unusual event from an earlier simulation had been a special circumstance, and he retained the fifth simulation’s realm and Wizard World adaptations.

• Chen Mu retained the memories of a Text Simulation in which he died fighting for the Body Cleansing Stone from the Floating Corpse Realm.
• He found memories of the nearby Demon Mountain Realm, whose resemblance to the Demon Realm led him to suspect a connection to Man Su Er.
• After accumulating five Reincarnation Simulations over thirty-five years, Chen Mu used them to reincarnate into the Immortal Realm and other worlds.
• Chen Mu retained the fifth simulation’s memories and Dao Integration Limit realm, preserving the adaptations to the Wizard World’s rules.
• Chen Mu concluded that the unusual event in his earlier Reincarnation Simulation had been a special circumstance.

After deciding to save Reincarnation Simulations to use in batches, Chen Mu tested the Simulator’s updated True Body Simulation feature by continuing from his previous simulation’s time node. He gained another lifespan of more than twenty million years while retaining his prior experience, and recognized the feature’s enormous potential.

• Chen Mu decided to save at least five Reincarnation Simulations before using them together to overcome his cultivation bottleneck.
• Chen Mu declined to begin a True Body Simulation while he had only one use available, waiting until he could afford to continue from a retained time node.
• Chen Mu retained his memories after a Text Simulation and reflected that its randomly selected personality had again limited its usefulness.
• After several years passed and he had two True Body Simulation uses, Chen Mu chose to continue from the previous simulation’s ending time node.
• Chen Mu entered the True Body Simulation with more than twenty million years of prior experience and another lifespan of more than twenty million years.

Chen Mu relocated his people to a new world and spent millions of years cultivating it before an Azure Wave World Master arrived, seeking the last survivor of the Wizard World. The World Master mistook Chen Mu for the White Crow World Master, revealing that events in Chen Mu’s Reincarnation Simulations had begun to intersect with his True Body Simulation.

• Chen Mu ordered a middle-aged believer to prepare the race’s relocation and planned to use the new world to advance the Wizard Immortal Cultivation Path.
• After four million years, Chen Mu observed the Wizard Ancestor World flourishing under the Wizard Immortal Cultivation Path.
• Chen Mu sensed an Azure Wave World Master approaching and watched the intruder destroy the believer whose body he had taken over.
• The Azure Wave World Master appeared before Chen Mu and said he had found the last survivor of the Wizard World.
• The Azure Wave World Master mistook Chen Mu for the White Crow World Master, and Chen Mu questioned him about the Wizard World’s destruction and how he had tracked him down.

Three World Masters from the Azure Wave World confronted Chen Mu and revealed that they sought him because Man Su Er had entered the Transcendence Road. When Chen Mu refused to go with them without learning the full reason, the White Robe World Master attacked, and Chen Mu appeared in the void beyond the Ancestor Witch World.

• The White Robe World Master admitted he had come for Chen Mu but refused to explain how he had found him or why.
• Two more World Masters arrived, and the Red-Clothed World Master asked Chen Mu to come with them.
• The Red-Clothed World Master revealed that Man Su Er had entered the Transcendence Road forty years earlier and said that was all he could disclose.
• Chen Mu refused to go to the Azure Wave World without a specific explanation and weighed his options.
• The White Robe World Master attacked with the phantom of a world, but Chen Mu appeared in the void beyond the Ancestor Witch World.

Chen Mu used a lifespan-consuming Immortal Art to repel three World Masters from Azure Wave World, then returned to Ancestor Witch World rather than accept their offer. The World Masters chose to wait and plan, while Chen Mu considered killing them and leaving if he could not uncover the reason they had targeted him.

• Chen Mu struck with Immortal Art—Severing Star Moon, splitting the Red Robe World Master's crimson world phantom and injuring him.
• The White Robe World Master tried to persuade Chen Mu to go to Azure Wave World, but Chen Mu ignored him and returned to Ancestor Witch World.
• The three World Masters discussed Chen Mu's unusual cultivation and decided to wait rather than provoke him without a plan.
• Chen Mu assessed the danger of entering Azure Wave World and resolved not to go there, even if it meant ending the True Body Simulation.
• Chen Mu noted that the Immortal Art had cost him a hundred thousand years of lifespan and considered killing the three World Masters before leaving if necessary.

After four hundred thousand years in the Ancestor Witch World, Chen Mu suspected Tus World Master had sent three World Masters to investigate him, but he prepared for their attack and remained cautious. Another hundred thousand years passed without them making a move, leaving Chen Mu to conclude that they would wait until they were certain of victory.

• Chen Mu reflected that mastering several cultivation paths to Level Seven could help him deduce the Wizard Immortal realm, but that progress would require more time and accumulation.
• As three World Masters continued testing him, Chen Mu reasoned that someone in the Azure Wave World had likely enlisted them and considered Tus World Master the most plausible sponsor.
• Chen Mu decided that if Tus World Master attacked personally, he would end the True Body Simulation rather than risk confronting an opponent far beyond his strength.
• Chen Mu spent hundreds of thousands of years preparing contingencies while the three World Masters repeatedly tried to learn his methods.
• After another hundred thousand years passed without an attack, Chen Mu realized the three World Masters would not act until they were certain of victory and was content that the delay gave him more time.
