Chapter Summaries

Chen Ze entered the monster beasts’ hidden cave and convinced them he had come to find Little Silver, whom they recognized as their king. The Third-Order Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake welcomed him but began to explain what had happened to Little Silver.

• Chen Ze met the Third-Order Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake in the cave chamber and asked where Little Silver was.
• The Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake began to answer, saying, “Senior, Father King...”

Chen Ze found Little Silver badly injured and learned that a Spirit Spring Pearl could heal it, so he exchanged for one and helped it recover. He then discovered that Little Silver had been injured after investigating a surge of cultivators hunting monster beasts in the Heguan Mountain Range.

• The Third-Order Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake led Chen Ze to Little Silver, who was recovering from severe injuries in a cavern.
• The Third-Order Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake told Chen Ze that a Spirit Spring Pearl from Ghost Canyon could heal Little Silver, though a Fifth-Order Nether Leopard guarded it.

• The Third-Order Full Moon Crystal Silver Snake and the Green Scaled Giant Python explained that Little Silver had become a Fourth-Order Monster Beast and taken human form before a wave of monster-beast hunting swept through the Heguan Mountain Range.
• Little Silver went out to investigate the influx of cultivators, who had driven monster beasts into the mountain range's central region and caused widespread slaughter.

Chen Ze rescued the wounded Little Silver and proposed that its clans seek peaceful coexistence with cultivators. Little Silver and the other monster beasts agreed to try, but asked how they could be protected from future attacks.

• Little Silver and the other monster beasts agreed to try, then asked Chen Ze how cultivators could be prevented from harming them again.

Chen Ze brought Little Silver and the other monster beasts from the Heguan Mountain Range into Myriad Things Space, where they could cultivate safely. After Li Hengwen promised to enforce rules against fighting and attacks on monster beasts, the Jade Green Lion arrived and overwhelmed the newcomers with its aura.

• Little Silver agreed to lead the cave’s monster beasts to Chen Ze’s peaceful new world, and they entered Myriad Things Space with their stored supplies.
• The monster beasts explored their new home, and Chen Ze appeared in his consciousness-formed figure to assure Little Silver they could live and cultivate there safely.
• Chen Ze introduced Little Silver to Li Hengwen, who promised to forbid private fighting and attacks on monster beasts in Myriad Things Space.
• The Jade Green Lion appeared, and its presence forced Little Silver and the other monster beasts to prostrate themselves before it asked Chen Ze whether he had found all of them.

Chen Ze settled Little Silver and the other monster beasts in the Myriad Things Space, where the Jade Green Lion agreed to protect them. Meanwhile, Chen Nan tracked down the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator who had once forced him to self-destruct and confronted him at his cave.

• Chen Ze shielded Little Silver and the other monster beasts from the Jade Green Lion's pressure, then asked the lion to look after them in the Myriad Things Space.
• Little Silver explained that it still could not take human form, and the Jade Green Lion suspected a mental obstacle was holding it back.
• Chen Ze sent the Jade Green Lion to show the newcomers around and find them a place to settle.
• Chen Nan used the Shadow Tracking Method to locate the hidden cultivator in a mountain cave south of the Dagan Dynasty.
• Chen Nan shattered the cave's Fourth-grade Formation and confronted the cultivator, asking if the old dog still remembered him.

Chen Nan confronted the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator who had once forced him to self-destruct, and overwhelmed him with sword attacks and taunts. As the cultivator neared defeat, he gathered his remaining strength and unleashed a powerful force.

• The Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator panicked when Chen Nan appeared, believing at first that he was a ghost or an impostor.
• Chen Nan attacked with the Taihe Sword, and the cultivator eventually recognized him as the man who had self-destructed and taken his Top-grade Spirit Vein.
• Chen Nan pressed the cultivator with fierce attacks, wounded him, and taunted him about their past encounter.
• The cultivator's strength steadily drained as Chen Nan continued his assault, while dark clouds gathered outside the cave.
• The cultivator gathered his remaining strength, and a powerful force erupted from his body.

Chen Nan defeated the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator and discovered through a soul search that the man belonged to Xuantian Hall and had sent out a distress signal. Chen Nan pursued the signal, but dozens of powerful cultivators arrived, forcing him to conceal himself as they searched for the missing Yu Zhou.

• The Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator tried to escape with a secret art, but Chen Nan exposed him and broke through his defenses with the Taihe Sword.
• The cultivator shattered a jade slip to send a streak of light away, and Chen Nan wounded him severely before restraining and searching his soul.
• Chen Nan learned that the cultivator was a member of Xuantian Hall and that the signal had summoned nearby members, then placed him in the Myriad Things Space.
• Chen Nan told Chen Ze what he had learned and pursued the signal while restoring his spiritual power.
• Dozens of powerful auras arrived, so Chen Nan hid and overheard a cultivator say that Yu Zhou was missing and had left no trace.

Chen Nan hid from Xuantian Hall cultivators searching for the missing Yu Zhou while Chen Ze watched through him. Elder Jin Lie organized a dragnet search and sealed escape routes, leaving Chen Nan to wait and rely on the Invisibility Spell or the Myriad Things Space if discovered.

• Xuantian Hall cultivators gathered at the site of Yu Zhou's distress signal but found no one, and Elder Jin Lie ordered them to search the surrounding area.
• Chen Nan hid nearby and told Chen Ze that Jin Lie and the other cultivators were too powerful to confront directly.
• Chen Ze observed through Chen Nan as the cultivators searched, and he took control when one of them approached Chen Nan's hiding place.
• After the searchers found no clues, Jin Lie reasoned that Yu Zhou's captor was still nearby and ordered a carpet-style search with isolation formations.
• Chen Nan asked whether they should leave, and Chen Ze told him to stay calm and use the Invisibility Spell or return to the Myriad Things Space if necessary.

Chen Ze evaded Xuantian Hall’s search for Yu Zhou and secretly tracked Elder Jin Lie to a hidden hut, where he overheard Jin Lie speaking with the Hall Master. The Hall Master ordered Xuantian Hall’s people to change hiding places and investigate Yu Zhou’s captor, then commanded that Yu Zhou be killed if found.

• Chen Ze hid from Xuantian Hall’s cultivators as they searched for him and eventually gave up and reported to Jin Lie.
• Chen Ze decided to follow Jin Lie to learn more about Xuantian Hall and secretly tracked his aura through the night.
• Chen Ze found Jin Lie at a guarded wooden hut but could not see inside, so he listened from outside.
• Jin Lie told the Hall Master that the search for Yu Zhou had found no clues and that Yu Zhou’s captor seemed powerful.
• The Hall Master ordered Jin Lie’s people to change hiding places, investigate Yu Zhou’s contacts, and avoid expanding the search.
• The Hall Master told Jin Lie to kill Yu Zhou if he found him.

After Yu Zhou was captured, Jin Lie received orders from Xuantian Hall and fled his hideout, while Chen Ze kept the organization’s members under surveillance. Chen Ze then shared Lu Zhiwen’s vision as the Scales Organization arrived at the magnificent Dagan Dynasty Imperial City, where he was surprised to find no defensive formation.

• Jin Lie received a secret order, destroyed his wooden hut, and vanished with his guards as Chen Ze watched from the shadows.
• Chen Ze sent Chen Nan back to the Anyuan Dynasty and arranged for other Doppelgangers to track Jin Lie and monitor Xuantian Hall’s cultivators.
• Chen Ze cultivated in the Myriad Things Space while the Jade Green Lion, Little Silver, and the other demon beasts settled safely near the cultivators’ town.
• Lu Zhiwen arrived at the Dagan Dynasty Imperial City with Ye Xiu, Qingshuang, and the Scales Organization.
• Chen Ze shared Lu Zhiwen’s vision, admired the Imperial City’s grandeur, and wondered why its walls had no defensive formation.

Qingshuang led Ye Xiu and Lu Zhiwen through the Imperial City, sharing its dangers and arranging a safe house as they began searching for Sun Tai. Chen Ze received word that Feng Wuhen and Feng Qingyun had arrived and, just as he tried to rest, learned that the person his Doppelganger was tracking had stopped moving.

• Qingshuang guided Ye Xiu and Lu Zhiwen through the Imperial City, explaining its districts, power struggles, and places to avoid.
• Qingshuang brought Ye Xiu and Lu Zhiwen to a secluded safe house maintained by a trusted elderly woman.
• Feng Wuhen and Feng Qingyun told Chen Ze they had lost contact with Xuantian Hall, and Chen Ze advised them to lie low and exchange information with Lu Zhiwen's group if possible.
• Chen Ze resumed cultivating, then received a transmission from his Doppelganger that the person he was tracking had stopped.
• Chen Ze said he would go to the Doppelganger immediately.

Chen Ze tracked Jin Lie to a secluded valley, where Feng Bai and Xuantian Hall had prepared an ambush. After Feng Bai trapped him in the Nine-Curving Seal Formation, Chen Ze summoned Doppelgangers and used three of his own formations to reverse the trap, leaving Xuantian Hall's forces sealed inside.

• Chen Ze took control of his Doppelganger, followed Jin Lie's aura into a secluded valley, and dodged a sudden attack.
• Jin Lie and dozens of Xuantian Hall members surrounded Chen Ze, and Feng Bai accused him of taking Yu Zhou.
• Feng Bai activated the Nine-Curving Seal Formation and declared that Chen Ze would not escape.
• Chen Ze summoned dozens of Doppelgangers and deployed three formations that isolated the Nine-Curving Seal Formation and trapped Xuantian Hall's members.

Chen Ze trapped Feng Bai and the Xuantian Hall cultivators in three Sixth-grade Formations and used the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and his Doppelgangers to overwhelm them. Feng Bai surrendered to stop the slaughter, but refused to reveal Xuantian Hall’s secrets.

• Chen Ze confronted Feng Bai after the formations cut off his connection to the Nine-Curving Seal Formation and demanded his name.
• Chen Ze activated the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and its Sword Qi severely injured or killed several Xuantian Hall cultivators.
• Feng Bai tried to protect the weaker cultivators, but Chen Ze sent dozens of Doppelgangers to attack and disrupt their defenses.
• Feng Bai ordered the attack to stop, and Chen Ze halted the Doppelgangers and dissipated the Sword Qi after Feng Bai asked what he wanted.
• Feng Bai gave his name, then refused Chen Ze’s demand to reveal all of Xuantian Hall’s secrets.

• Chen Ze threatened Feng Bai after Feng Bai refused to disclose Xuantian Hall's secrets.
• Feng Bai gathered his power and charged at the formation, then abruptly redirected his attack toward Chen Ze.
• Feng Bai blasted Chen Ze into ashes, but Chen Ze's companions watched without reacting, and Jin Lie and the others realized something was wrong.
• A second Chen Ze appeared and revealed that Feng Bai had destroyed a Doppelganger.
• Chen Ze summoned figures with Spirit Transformation Realm auras and declared that they were all his Doppelgangers.
• Feng Bai refused to surrender, though he doubted that the surrounding figures were all Doppelgangers.

Chen Ze defeated Feng Bai and the Xuantian Hall cultivators through the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and waves of Doppelgangers, then captured the remaining infiltrators for questioning. After returning home and resting, he asked Zhao Ling'er to sing for him, insisting that listening to songs did not delay cultivation.

• Feng Bai and the Xuantian Hall cultivators were worn down by Chen Ze's formation and Doppelgangers until Feng Bai fell and Chen Ze ordered them captured.
• Chen Ze's Doppelgangers took Feng Bai's group into the Myriad Things Space, where Li Hengwen searched their souls and began organizing the information.
• Chen Ze sent the Doppelgangers to capture the remaining Xuantian Hall cultivators in the south of the Dagan Dynasty, then withdrew his consciousness and rested.
• The next morning, Chen Ze considered the unknown ranks and experts within Xuantian Hall while Zhao Ling'er served him breakfast.
• Chen Ze told Zhao Ling'er that cultivation required constant progress, then asked her to sing and said listening to songs did not delay cultivation.

Chen Ze learned that Xuantian Hall was far more powerful and widespread than expected, then seized its southern branch’s resources and intelligence. He ordered the gains investigated and put the branch’s three mineral mines to use while remaining wary of the hidden Exalted Lord.

• Li Hengwen reported from Feng Bai’s memories that Xuantian Hall had branches across Xuantian Continent, dozens of hall masters, powerful elders, and an unseen Exalted Lord.
• Chen Ze learned that Feng Bai and Jin Lie’s group had been luring intruders, and that the elder who directed Feng Bai might come investigating their disappearance.
• Li Hengwen told Chen Ze that Doppelgangers had captured Xuantian Hall’s southern operatives and uncovered other hidden Cultivators, then moved the branch’s belongings and intelligence into Myriad Things Space.
• Chen Ze rejected sending Doppelgangers undercover, ordered the seized intelligence analyzed, and told Li Hengwen to stay vigilant without retreating from Xuantian Hall.
• Li Hengwen revealed that Xuantian Hall’s southern operatives controlled three mines producing Mystic Ice Stone, Blazing Sun Iron, and Phantom Crystal, which Doppelgangers had secured for Myriad Things Space.

Chen Ze used the Jade Green Lion to extract the mineral veins from three newly discovered mines and store them in the Myriad Things Space. After learning that the Mysterious Person had come to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Longqing City, Chen Ze gathered his Doppelgangers to deal with him.

• Chen Ze took the Jade Green Lion to a mine and had it draw the mineral vein out of the rock for him to store in the Myriad Things Space.
• Chen Ze moved between three mines, and the Jade Green Lion extracted each vein while the Doppelgangers continued excavating.
• After collecting all three mineral veins, Chen Ze received Qi Wencheng's voice transmission that the Mysterious Person had appeared at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
• Chen Ze sent the Jade Green Lion back to the Myriad Things Space and transferred his consciousness to Longqing City.
• Chen Ze told Qi Wencheng to handle the Mysterious Person first, summoned the Doppelgangers in Longqing City, and descended into the Doppelganger Han Gai.

Chen Ze used Qi Wencheng’s body to confront the mysterious figure behind the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and trapped the man in concealed Sixth-grade Formations. The man refused to reveal the force behind the chamber, leaving Chen Ze poised to fight him.

• Chen Ze activated three Sixth-grade Formations around the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and had Liu Jiang and the others guard its perimeter.
• Chen Ze observed the black-robed man through Qi Wencheng, used the Heavenly Eye to identify him as a peak late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, and recognized his voice from a previous auction.
• Chen Ze took control of Qi Wencheng’s body and lured the black-robed man into revealing that he expected the chamber’s earnings.
• Chen Ze deployed High-grade Spirit Stones and array flags, trapping the old man inside the concealed formations.
• The old man realized Chen Ze was not Qi Wencheng and demanded to know who he was.
• Chen Ze offered to spare the old man if he revealed the force behind the chamber, but the old man refused and surged with spiritual power.

Chen Ze defeated and captured Liu Wuhen, then learned from Li Hengwen’s soul search that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce served Xuantian Hall. He recognized that the discovery could bring the Myriad Things General Store into open conflict with Xuantian Hall and began planning for the consequences.

• Chen Ze overwhelmed Liu Wuhen with Sword Qi, defeated him, and sent him to the Myriad Things Space.
• Chen Ze instructed Qi Wencheng to keep operating the branch store and preserve the secret chamber and its formation.

• Li Hengwen revealed that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce acted as an agent for Xuantian Hall, supplying it with resources and intelligence.
• Chen Ze told Li Hengwen to investigate the memories of other Xuantian Hall members and said he would discuss preparations with Shen Wansan.

After learning that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce served Xuantian Hall, Chen Ze mobilized Myriad Things General Store to investigate and prepare for their conflict. He expanded his Doppelganger network, replaced Liu Wuhen, and turned to cultivating so he could face Xuantian Hall’s stronger experts.

• Chen Ze told Shen Wansan that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was an outer organization of Xuantian Hall, and they agreed to investigate both forces and monitor the Chamber’s branch stores.
• Chen Ze ordered Shen Wansan to prepare the stores for expansion and took charge of deciding Liu Wuhen’s fate; they chose to use a Doppelganger to impersonate him and disrupt Xuantian Hall.
• Chen Ze collected two days of earnings, bringing his resources to over 230 million in total value, and exchanged 30.71 million Points for 200 Doppelgangers.
• Chen Ze assigned the Doppelgangers to Shen Wansan and arranged for one to replace Liu Wuhen, then abandoned plans to infiltrate Xuantian Hall directly.
• Chen Ze assessed the threat posed by Xuantian Hall’s Spirit Severing Realm experts and decided to focus on cultivating and condensing five-element spiritual power so he could reach the Spirit Severing Realm.
