Chapter Summaries

Chen Ze planned to turn Myriad Things Space into a managed cultivation world where cultivators could earn resources by contributing to its development. Li Hengwen began organizing the miners under the new system, promising cultivation, rewards, and guidance in exchange for obedience and continued work.

• Chen Ze proposed designated living and cultivation areas, resource distribution rules, and a contribution system for the cultivators in the Mine.
• Chen Ze assigned Li Hengwen to plan the Mine area and Xiao Ping and Xiao An to devise the resource and contribution systems.
• Chen Ze expanded the coverage of the three Sixth-grade Formations, while Li Hengwen prepared a living and cultivation area for the miners.
• Li Hengwen gathered more than three hundred cultivators with the Jade Green Lion beside him and announced that the area would become their home and place of cultivation.
• Li Hengwen told the cultivators that mining would remain their primary duty, while contribution points could earn them Magic Artifacts, pills, cultivation manuals, and higher-level guidance.

Li Hengwen restored the cultivators’ cultivation and explained the rules of the Myriad Things Space, warning them that they could not leave without his master’s permission and that fighting was forbidden. He then had them turn the open land into a place to live, where they built crude wooden houses.

• Li Hengwen explained that mining and other assigned tasks could earn contribution points, then restored the cultivation of more than three hundred cultivators.
• The cultivators regained their spiritual power but sensed the Jade Green Lion’s strength and dared not make a move.
• Li Hengwen told the cultivators they were in the Myriad Things Space, created by his master, and warned them against trying to escape, fighting, or acting out of greed.
• Li Hengwen instructed the cultivators to make the open land a place to live instead of remaining in the Mine Tunnel.
• The cultivators built crude wooden houses across the open land.

Xiao Ping and Xiao An proposed a system for distributing Cultivation Resources and awarding Myriad Things Points, which Chen Ze approved. Chen Ze began refining the Purple Firmament Sword, tested its power, and was interrupted by Han Gai, who reported that the time had come to act against the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

• Xiao Ping and Xiao An submitted a resource-distribution and contribution system for Myriad Things Space, and Chen Ze approved it with minor suggestions.
• Chen Ze began attuning his divine sense to the Purple Firmament Sword and achieved its initial refinement.
• Chen Ze tested the sword in Myriad Things Space, splitting a mountain and unleashing a vast electric net, then restored his depleted spiritual power.
• Chen Ze continued refining the Purple Firmament Sword until Han Gai sent word that a good opportunity had arisen at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
• Chen Ze told Han Gai he could act, recognizing that the planned move against the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was ready to begin.

Han Gai and his Doppelgangers captured Qi Wencheng and the other stewards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Longqing City, allowing Chen Ze to take control of the branch. Chen Ze ordered the business to continue as usual while he investigated who stood behind it.

• Han Gai and the other Doppelgangers entered Qi Wencheng's room under the guise of reporting business and subdued him and the stewards.
• Han Gai waited for Chen Ze to seal the area before knocking the captives unconscious and sending them into the Myriad Things Space.
• Chen Ze replaced the captives with new versions, bringing the chamber's upper ranks under his control.
• Chen Ze took control through Han Gai and ordered the branch to keep operating without handing over its profits while he investigated its hidden leadership.

Chen Ze took control of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce but learned that its leader, Qi Wencheng, knew almost nothing about the mysterious figure supplying it. As Chen Ze questioned Qi Wencheng, he noticed that the chamber’s smooth rise in Longqing City seemed suspicious.

• Chen Ze ordered the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to become one of his businesses, halted its expansion into cities with fewer cultivators, and recalled Li Dahai and the other two.
• Chen Ze brought Qi Wencheng and the other managers to Myriad Things Space and questioned them about the chamber’s backer.
• Qi Wencheng said a Mysterious Person contacted him first, had brought him to Longqing City, and supplied the chamber with a wide range of goods.
• Qi Wencheng revealed that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had faced no opposition or trouble in Longqing City, prompting Chen Ze to suspect that something was wrong.

Chen Ze concluded that a mysterious person was secretly protecting the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and sent his Doppelgangers to search Longqing City for him. He had Li Hengwen take Qi Wencheng and the stewards to the Mine camp, where they built huts and struggled to understand their new surroundings.

• Chen Ze ordered the Doppelganger Qi Wencheng to find the mysterious person's image in Qi Wencheng's memories and share it with the Doppelgangers searching Longqing City.
• Chen Ze reasoned that the mysterious person had secretly dealt with threats to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and was likely in Longqing City.
• Chen Ze told Qi Wencheng and the stewards to remain where they were, then summoned Li Hengwen and ordered him to take them away.
• Li Hengwen brought Qi Wencheng and the stewards to the Mine camp, where they saw a terrifying demonic beast and hundreds of cultivators living in wooden huts.
• Qi Wencheng and the stewards built their own huts and found the other cultivators distant, while the camp's residents remained wary of the demonic beast.

Li Hengwen established mining quotas and mine assignments for the cultivators in Myriad Things Space, allowing them free time after completing their daily work. The next day, Chen Ze visited Youyue City to see the opening of a Myriad Things General Store and its auction.

• Li Hengwen announced daily mining quotas and assigned cultivators to mines according to their cultivation realms, explaining that meeting the quotas would let them earn resources and spend the rest of their time freely.
• The cultivators set off for the mines, and Li Hengwen asked the Jade Green Lion to stay and help oversee the mining.
• Chen Ze finished his cultivation and used a Doppelganger summoned by Shen Wansan to visit Youyue City on the day its Myriad Things General Store opened.
• Shen Wansan introduced Youyue City and its powerful forces to Chen Ze, then returned to his own duties.
• Chen Ze walked through the busy city streets toward the new store, where many people were gathering for the auction, and decided to explore before it began.

Chen Ze visited Lingyun Pavilion seeking a quiet place to hear qin music, but left after discovering its misleading pitch and an informal gathering of cultivators. He then went to the opening auction at Myriad Things General Store, where a crowd awaited the doors to open.

• Chen Ze entered Lingyun Pavilion after hearing qin music and ignored the old man’s claims that its calligraphy and paintings could help him break through a bottleneck.
• Chen Ze followed the old man to a side hall, then insisted on visiting the neighboring room where the qin music came from.
• Chen Ze found cultivators taking turns playing and discussing qin, left Lingyun Pavilion, and told his controlled Doppelganger to keep the matter between them.
• Shen Wansan informed Chen Ze that the auction was about to begin, and Chen Ze hurried away from the old man’s offer to show him treasures.
• Chen Ze joined the crowd outside Myriad Things General Store as cultivators discussed its advertised Breakthrough Pills, Black-tier High-grade Magic Artifacts, and spells.

Chen Ze attended the opening of the Myriad Things General Store, where Shen Qing welcomed cultivators and began an auction. The first lot went up for bidding, while the store's promised Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill remained the main attraction.

• Shen Qing introduced himself as the Myriad Things General Store's shopkeeper and revealed its couplet promising to trade in all things.
• When a hostile cultivator challenged the store's claims and asked about Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, Shen Qing said the store had them but asked whether anyone dared buy one.
• An elderly cultivator asked about the Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill, and Shen Qing confirmed it would be auctioned that day.
• Chen Ze entered the store with the crowd, saw its grand interior, and followed Shen Qing into the auction hall.
• Shen Qing opened the auction and offered a bottle of ten mid-grade Grade Three Spirit Gathering Pills, setting the starting bid at 3,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

At Myriad Things General Store’s auction, the Mouthpiece Cultivator won a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills for 50,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, then claimed he had no money. A Doppelganger subdued and removed him, forcing him to pay, but refused to let him leave afterward.

• Bidders drove the price of the Mid-grade Quality Spirit Gathering Pills to 50,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, and the Mouthpiece Cultivator won the bottle.
• After inspecting the pills, the Mouthpiece Cultivator claimed he had no Spirit Stones to pay, disrupting the auction.
• A Doppelganger briefly unleashed a terrifying aura, forced the Mouthpiece Cultivator out of the hall, and alarmed the patriarch watching from a private room.
• Shen Qing resumed the auction while Shen Wansan let his Doppelganger handle the troublemaker in a secret chamber.
• The Doppelganger made the Mouthpiece Cultivator pay the 50,000 Spirit Stones, then told him he still could not leave.

The auction at Myriad Things General Store continued after the Doppelganger took the Mouthpiece Cultivator away for punishment, and Shen Qing presented a Mid-grade Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill as the final item. Guan Jingming tried to secure it for the Guan Family, but a mysterious black-robed cultivator outbid him, prompting Shen Qing to recognize his master.

• The Doppelganger knocked out the Mouthpiece Cultivator and sent him to Myriad Things Space, where Li Hengwen welcomed him.
• The auction continued with rare treasures, while the crowd waited for the Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill.
• Shen Qing revealed a Mid-grade Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill with a seventy percent success rate and opened bidding at ten High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Guan Jingming bid fifty High-grade Spirit Stones and revealed himself, asking the other cultivators not to bid against the Guan Family.
• A mysterious black-robed cultivator bid fifty-one High-grade Spirit Stones, and Shen Qing recognized him as his master.

Chen Ze drove up Guan Jingming’s bid for a Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough Pill, then left Myriad Things General Store for Moonlight Lake despite the Guan Family’s threats. The Guan Family tested his strength there, and Chen Ze stood his ground as the confrontation began to escalate.

• Chen Ze challenged Guan Jingming’s attempt to use his status to control the auction, and the two raised the pill’s price until Guan Jingming won it for eighty High-grade Spirit Stones.
• After Chen Ze revealed that he had not run out of money, Guan Jingming threatened him, while Chen Ze refused Shen Wansan’s offer to handle the Guan Family and said he would meet them himself.
• Guan Jingming ordered his people to watch Chen Ze and test his strength, and he arranged for the City Lord’s Mansion’s Patrol Team guards to rest while awaiting the Guan Ancestor’s return from seclusion.
• Chen Ze left the store and went to admire Moonlight Lake, ignoring the Shadow Figures following him.
• Several black-clothed cultivators attacked Chen Ze at the lake, but his aura intimidated them into retreating after they had tested his strength.

Chen Ze fought the Guan Family after Guan Jingming confronted him at Moonlight Lake, defeating the family head and crippling his cultivation. The Guan Family Ancestor arrived in the middle Spirit Transformation Realm, but Chen Ze had already beaten Guan Jingming and his forces.

• Guan Jingming learned that Chen Ze had provoked the Guan Family and went to Moonlight Lake with his experts.
• Chen Ze fought off the Guan Family's Nascent Soul experts and outmatched Guan Jingming in their duel.

• The remaining Guan Family experts fled or fell as hidden onlookers watched Chen Ze defeat Guan Jingming.
• The Guan Family Ancestor arrived in the middle Spirit Transformation Realm, too late to prevent Guan Jingming's defeat.

Chen Ze defeated Guan Tianxiong in a fierce battle after crippling Guan Jingming and defeating the Guan Family’s cultivators. Guan Tianxiong admitted defeat and asked for mercy, but Chen Ze refused to let the Guan Family settle everything with a single apology.

• Guan Tianxiong confronted Chen Ze over Guan Jingming’s injuries, and Chen Ze warned him that the Guan Family was not invincible.
• Guan Tianxiong attacked Chen Ze, but Chen Ze evaded his strike and revealed a powerful Spirit Transformation Realm aura.
• Chen Ze struck Guan Tianxiong with the Taihe Sword and battled him until Guan Tianxiong’s full-force attack was broken, leaving him seriously injured.
• Chen Ze pressed his advantage until Guan Tianxiong admitted defeat and asked him to spare the Guan Family.
• Chen Ze withdrew his sword but told Guan Tianxiong that a single sentence would not smooth things over.

Chen Ze forced Guan Tianxiong to give up the Guan Family’s power in Youyue City, then offered him a way to preserve his cultivation by leaving with Chen Ze. The chapter ended with Chen Ze sealing them inside a Sixth-grade Concealment Formation, leaving Guan Tianxiong astonished by his abilities.

• Chen Ze demanded that Guan Tianxiong cripple his cultivation and forbid the Guan Family from interfering in Youyue City’s power struggles, and Guan Tianxiong agreed.
• Guan Tianxiong named Guan Ziling the new head of the Guan Family and sent the family members away.
• As Guan Tianxiong prepared to cripple his cultivation, Chen Ze stopped him and proposed that he leave Youyue City instead.
• Guan Tianxiong agreed to go with Chen Ze, who set up a Sixth-grade Concealment Formation around them.
• Guan Tianxiong realized Chen Ze had created the formation without a formation disk and questioned whether Chen Ze was truly only at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Chen Ze brought Guan Tianxiong into the Myriad Things Space, left Youyue City, and advanced to the fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. After deciding the Spirit Pool had become less useful to him, he gave it to Li Hengwen for others to exchange for Myriad Things Points, then heard Zhao Ling'er’s report on the Doppelgangers, including Chen Fan’s preparations for the Centennial Competition.

• Chen Ze knocked Guan Tianxiong unconscious and sent him to the Myriad Things Space, where he asked Li Hengwen to care for him and told Shen Qing to manage Youyue City.
• Chen Ze left Youyue City after dealing with the Guan Family, setting the city’s forces up for a major reshuffling.
• After three days of cultivation in the Spirit Pool, Chen Ze advanced from the third to the fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm and found the pool’s benefits had diminished.
• Chen Ze moved the Spirit Pool to the Mine area and told Li Hengwen it could be exchanged for Myriad Things Points.
• Zhao Ling'er reported that Chen Fan displayed early Golden Core cultivation while preparing for the Centennial Competition, and that Zhou Quan, Yu Xingsi, and Song Zheng had reached late Foundation Establishment.

Chen Ze received reports on the Wanze Sect’s expansion, the Myriad Things General Store’s growing reach, and the activities of his Doppelgangers. He authorized Chen Nan to seek revenge and left Liu Jiang on guard against an unknown observer in Longqing City.

• Zhao Ling'er reported that Zhao Yun and Zhao Wushan had built the Wanze Sect into an overlord-level force in Lunshi City, despite pressure from hostile powers.
• Zhao Ling'er told Chen Ze that the Myriad Things General Stores were thriving, new stores were being prepared across the Xuantian Continent, and their supplies were selling rapidly.
• Chen Ze learned that Chen Nan had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and wanted to return to the south of the Dagan Dynasty to confront the cultivator who had forced him to self-destruct.
• Chen Ze gave Chen Nan permission to seek revenge and told him to ask for help if he encountered trouble.
• Zhao Ling'er reported that the Mysterious Person had not appeared in Longqing City, while Liu Jiang sensed someone watching him from the shadows.
• Chen Ze told Zhao Ling'er to keep Liu Jiang vigilant because the observer likely had a purpose.

Chen Ze investigated Xuantian Hall’s plan to reach Hall Master Sun and sent his Doppelgangers to gather intelligence without exposing themselves. Chen Nan traveled to the place where he had once faced the expert who forced him to self-destruct, found a concealed passage, and entered an empty underground chamber.

• Zhao Ling'er reported that Xuantian Hall had sent Feng Wuhen and Feng Qingyun to investigate Hall Master Sun and kill him if possible.
• Chen Ze ordered Lu Zhiwen, Feng Wuhen, and Feng Qingyun to stay hidden, share information, and support one another while investigating Hall Master Sun.
• Chen Nan received Chen Ze's approval to pursue revenge and was summoned to the southern region of the Dagan Dynasty.
• Chen Nan searched the barren mountain range where he had encountered his former enemy, then went to the Secluded Valley when he found no trace of him.
• Chen Nan detected and broke a Concealment Formation beneath a massive rock, revealing a passage into a secret chamber that contained only a meditation cushion.

Chen Ze bought the Shadow Tracking Method to help Chen Nan track his enemy and expanded the Myriad Things Space to support its growing stores. After inspecting the Mine area, he decided to bring in more demon beasts to keep the Jade Green Lion company.

• Chen Nan found a trace of his enemy's aura at an abandoned place and asked Chen Ze for help learning a tracking technique.
• Chen Ze bought the Heaven-tier High-grade Shadow Tracking Method for five million Points and equipped it for the Phantom to learn.
• Chen Ze exchanged Points for sixty million Points' worth of supplies and expanded the Myriad Things Space to fifty-one point two square kilometers.
• Chen Ze adjusted the Mine area's formation and saw cultivators working there while the Jade Green Lion watched over them.
• Chen Ze offered to bring in more demon beasts, and the Jade Green Lion agreed after he promised it could protect them from the cultivators.

Chen Ze explored the transformed Wannan City, then flew to Heguan Mountain Range to add demonic beasts to Myriad Things Space. He reached the central region, where several second-rank flying demonic beasts charged toward him.

• Chen Ze walked through Wannan City and saw how the Doppelgangers and Rogue Cultivators had helped it grow into a prosperous city.
