Chapter Summaries

Jiang Feiling publicly praised Li Tianming as a potential eleventh divine being and promised the Ancient Theocrats Sect would support his cultivation, while privately sending him a message that she missed him. As Li Tianming investigated doubts about Fang Xingque’s death, Xuanyuan Yuheng began plotting to use Xuanyuan Muxue to kill him during the Starry Pool opportunity.

Xuanyuan Muxue refused Xuanyuan Yuheng’s plan to frame and kill Li Tianming, urging her brother to accept Li Tianming’s elevated status. Li Tianming moved to the Heaven Origin Sect and set out with Yi Xingyin and Xuanyuan Muxue for the Brilliant Star Pool.

• Xuanyuan Yuheng urged Xuanyuan Muxue to kill Li Tianming in the sealed Brilliant Star Pool and frame him for assault, offering her a Nine-Star Heavenly Pattern Tome.

Li Tianming entered Tianyuan Sacred Mountain to face the Primordial Evil Demon Eye and discovered it was too large and tightly suppressed to take away. While enduring its gaze, he received the Soul-Subduing Eye’s cultivation formula and opened its first Soul-Subduing Vein, then tested the technique on himself.

• Li Tianming asked Ouyang Sword King to let him participate in the Evil Demon Trial, and Ouyang gave him a token to open the mountain gate.
• Li Tianming entered the underground palace and saw the enormous Primordial Evil Demon Eye embedded above the gathered Primordial Xuanyuan Clan disciples.

• As Li Tianming endured the eye’s pressure with the eye in his palm, the third level of the Soul Divine Tome appeared in his mind: the Soul-Subduing Eye.
• Li Tianming used the Primordial Evil Demon Eye’s spiritual essence to open his first Soul-Subduing Vein, then activated the technique on himself.

Li Tianming cultivated the Soul-Suppressing Eye at the Evil Demon Trial, where Xuanyuan Xiao delivered him a level-four Heaven and Earth Tribulation Source and made Xuanyuan Yuheng apologize.

• Li Tianming entered the Supreme Unity Tower to avoid the fight and resumed cultivating as Xuanyuan Yuheng battered the tower.

Li Tianming endured Xuanyuan Yuheng’s attempt to kill him and decided to settle the score himself rather than report him without evidence. He continued cultivating and broke through to the seventh level, the Lifespring of Sacred Beasts, while the Primordial Evil Demon kept pursuing its plans through Xuanyuan Yuheng.

• The Primordial Evil Demon told Lin Xiaoxiao that Xuanyuan Yuheng had attacked Li Tianming under the influence of its will, and Lin Xiaoxiao warned it not to harm anyone besides Li Tianming.

• Li Tianming went to the Tianyuan Cauldron, where Ouyang Sword King warned him to beware of fire.

They faced off in a blizzard with Yuheng’s two divine dragon lifebound beasts, while his third dragon held Mu Xue captive elsewhere.
