Chapter Summaries

After consolidating most of the Northern Realm and strengthening the Immortal Palace, Xiao Lin traveled to the Extreme Cold Abyss in search of the Ancient Heavenly Palace. He used the Star Demon Suppressing Tower to look for traces of its ruins, hoping to aid his cultivation before the palace emerged.

• Lin Dong crushed the remaining resistance, allowing the Immortal Palace to incorporate nearly eighty percent of the Northern Realm in three months.
• Xiao Lin moved the Immortal Palace headquarters to the center of the Northern Realm and, with the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s help, refined the Star Demon Suppressing Tower while consuming the Spirit God Liquid.
• Xiao Lin’s cultivation rose to that of a seasoned Upper Earthly Sovereign, and his Spiritual Power nearly doubled, while returning Ninth-grade Sovereigns strengthened the Immortal Palace.
• Xiao Lin left the Northern Realm and traveled to the Extreme Cold Abyss, where he followed the Star Demon Suppressing Tower toward the Ancient Heavenly Palace’s ruins.
• Xiao Lin planned to use the tower to find traces of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, knowing it would not make the ruins fully emerge or let him claim them at his current strength.

Xiao Lin used the Star Demon Suppressing Tower to locate a safe passage into the Ancient Heavenly Palace, whose opening and spatial instability threatened future visitors. Protected by the tower and reassured that his Clan Member System could return him to the Tian Xuan Continent if necessary, he crossed the boundary and arrived in the Palace’s ancient ruins.

• Xiao Lin used the Star Demon Suppressing Tower to see the Ancient Heavenly Palace beyond the shifting spatial phenomena and judged that its connection to the Tianluo Continent would eventually become too unstable for Earthly Sovereigns to enter safely.
• Xiao Lin recalled the Heavenly Emperor’s Mausoleum, the Great Luo Heavenly Palace’s Supernatural Ability Hall, and the Heavenly Pool as major treasures within the Palace.
• Xiao Lin realized his remaining Clan Member System chances to travel to the Tian Xuan Continent could provide an escape if spatial turbulence trapped him.
• Xiao Lin summoned the Star Demon Suppressing Tower, which formed a protective star domain and carried him through the strange space toward the Palace.
• Xiao Lin crossed into the Ancient Heavenly Palace and found himself on a desolate hill overlooking ancient halls, mountains, and floating Stone Islands beneath an unstable sky.

Xiao Lin crossed the Dragon Gate into the inner region of the Ancient Heavenly Palace by using the Fourth Hall Master's golden Dragon Token. He set out toward Wind Mansion, hoping to gain a Nine Mansions token that would let him enter the Heavenly Pool.

• Xiao Lin explored the ruined outer defenses and detected a grandmaster-level spiritual array blocking the route to the palace core.
• Xiao Lin found the Dragon Gate and used the Star Demon Suppressing Tower and the Fourth Hall Master's golden Dragon Token to pass through it.
• Xiao Lin entered the inner region, surveyed its vast floating islands and halls, and identified the Nine Mansions and Heavenly Pool as his objectives.
• Xiao Lin consulted a map from the Star Demon Suppressing Tower and headed northwest toward Wind Mansion, one of the Nine Mansions.

Xiao Lin uncovered the concealed Wind Mansion and found its ancient treasures, including a vast pool of Supreme Spirit Liquid and a true Sacred Artifact. The corrupted Lord of the Wind Mansion attacked him, but Xiao Lin restrained him with his Spiritual Power.

• Xiao Lin used the Star Demon Suppressing Tower to reveal a passage into the hidden Wind Mansion.
• Xiao Lin saw that the mansion's inhabitants had been killed by the Outer-domain Evil Clan and gathered resources as he searched the island.

• The Lord of the Wind Mansion awakened as an evil creature and launched a black storm at Xiao Lin.
• Xiao Lin enveloped the Lord of the Wind Mansion in Spiritual Power and immobilized him.

Xiao Lin freed the Lord of the Wind Mansion from an evil aura, claimed the mansion’s treasures, and refined the Supreme Spirit Liquid, Wind God Fan, and Wind Calling Technique. He then discovered the Heavenly River of the Heavenly Palace, while the story shifted to Xiao Yan’s very different path and introduced the powerful Fire Spirit Clan.

• Xiao Lin defeated the corrupted Lord of the Wind Mansion, who thanked him and gave him a token before fading away.
• Xiao Lin examined the Supreme Spirit Liquid, Wind God Fan, and Wind Calling Technique, explaining how his Chaos Dharma Body and Lesser Formless Art let him use Wind Attribute powers.

• Xiao Lin followed a powerful Spiritual Power fluctuation to a sealed, star-backed ocean identified as the Heavenly River of the Heavenly Palace.
• The narration contrasted Xiao Lin’s cautious cultivation with Xiao Yan’s habit of challenging stronger enemies and introduced the Fire Spirit Clan as a major power.

The Fire Spirit Clan’s Third Elder learned that Xiao Yan had reached the Earthly Sovereign realm and sent an envoy to enlist local forces to capture him and reclaim his flames. Meanwhile, Xiao Lin entered the Heavenly River in the Ancient Heavenly Palace Ruins and gathered enough Spirits of the Heavenly River to qualify for a perfect baptism.

• The Fire Spirit Clan envoy reported that Xiao Yan had sabotaged the clan’s flame collection and now lived in the Immortal Palace on the Tianluo Continent.
• The Third Elder noted that the Purple Qi Ling Cave, Thunder Sound Great Temple, and Dragon Carving Cave had interests in the Northern Region, then ordered an envoy to seek their assistance in capturing Xiao Yan and recovering his flames.

• Xiao Lin absorbed the Heavenly River’s Spiritual Power and headed toward its depths to seek a Heavenly River Baptism.
• Xiao Lin collected more than a hundred Spirits of the Heavenly River, fulfilling the requirements for a perfect baptism.

Xiao Lin underwent the Heavenly River’s Perfect Baptism, absorbing its Earthly Sovereign-level Spiritual Power and strengthening his body and Chaos Dharma Body. He broke through to Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection and realized that his cultivation had been incomplete because he could no longer receive feedback from his original clan members, leaving him confident he could now challenge even a Heavenly Sovereign.

• Xiao Lin summoned the Heavenly River’s Perfect Baptism, and its Spiritual Power poured into him and his Chaos Dharma Body.
• As the baptism reforged his body and boosted his cultivation, Xiao Lin absorbed more than thirty percent of the Heavenly River and reached Half-Step Great Perfection.

• Zi Tianbei attacked Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin deflected his strike and sent him flying across the hall.

Xiao Lin defeated and killed three Purple Cloud Sect elders who attacked the Immortal Palace, then learned that the sect’s master, True Lord Zi Yun, had touched the Heavenly Sovereign threshold. After Xiao Yan and Lin Dong left to train, True Lord Zi Yun learned of the elders’ deaths and swore vengeance on the Immortal Palace.

• Xiao Lin overwhelmed Zi Tianbei and two other Purple Cloud Sect elders, then destroyed them with Chaos Power as the Immortal Palace Grand Formation contained the blast.
• Xiao Yan recognized the Fire Spirit Clan as the force behind Purple Cloud Sect’s demand for his Heavenly Flames, and he and Lin Dong decided to leave and train after Xiao Lin promised the Immortal Palace would be safe.
• Xiao Lin learned that Purple Cloud Sect was one of the Northern Region’s Three Great Hegemons and that its Sect Master, True Lord Zi Yun, had touched the Heavenly Sovereign threshold.
• A disciple discovered that Zi Tianbei and the other two elders’ life plaques had shattered and rang Purple Cloud Sect’s alarm bell nine times.
• True Lord Zi Yun emerged from seclusion, saw the broken plaques, and vowed vengeance on the Immortal Palace.

After the Purple Cloud Sect lost three experts trying to capture Xiao Yan, True Lord Zi Yun met with the other Northern Region hegemons and proposed reassessing the Immortal Palace. Meanwhile, the Fire Spirit Clan's envoy pursued Xiao Yan to Saint Abyss Continent, where Xiao Yan and Lin Dong arrived amid a corrupted and perilous landscape.

• True Lord Zi Yun learned that the Fire Spirit Clan's envoy had departed and flew to the Northern Plains to meet Thunder Sound Venerable and the Golden Eagle Emperor.

• Lin Dong and Xiao Yan arrived in Saint Abyss Continent and saw its unstable terrain, crimson lightning, sluggish Spiritual Power, and traces of corruption by evil energy.

Xiao Lin confronted True Lord Zi Yun, the Golden Peng Emperor, and Thunder Sound Venerable after discovering that all three had plotted against the Immortal Palace. He overwhelmed True Lord Zi Yun with the Chaos Dharma Body’s ultimate power, leaving the other hegemons wary as the battle continued.

• Xiao Lin appeared before the three hegemons and challenged them to attack together, saying he would eliminate every threat to the Immortal Palace.
• True Lord Zi Yun attacked Xiao Lin with the Purple Emperor Star Picking Finger, but Xiao Lin’s Chaos Fist shattered its purple storm.
• Xiao Lin’s Chaos Fist Shadow broke True Lord Zi Yun’s Sovereign Dharma Body’s fist and arm after Zi Yun tried to block it.
• Xiao Lin unleashed more than a hundred Chaos Fist Shadows, forcing True Lord Zi Yun to defend himself with Purple God's Glow.
• Thunder Sound Venerable and the Golden Eagle Emperor recognized Xiao Lin as a threat, while Xiao Lin judged that True Lord Zi Yun had not truly reached the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Xiao Lin withstood the combined assault of the Three Great Hegemons of the Northern Region and used his Chaos Shield and Lesser Formless Art to absorb their attacks. The three hegemons’ power replenished Xiao Lin, leaving him ready to turn their strength against them.

• Xiao Lin resolved to seek a chance to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm as he considered the power and rarity of Heavenly Sovereigns.

Xiao Lin sought a way to keep growing after reaching Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection and chose Saint Abyss Continent, where the Great Thousand World fought the Outer-domain Evil Clan. He reached Saint Abyss City and examined the Demon Slaying Ranking, leaving his next step there unresolved.

Xiao Lin entered Saint Abyss Continent to hunt Outer Realm Demons and encountered two Flame Demon Clan experts who tried to ambush him. After defeating them, he discovered that his Lesser Formless Art could devour and refine Outer Realm Demons, giving him a new path toward the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

• Xiao Lin recognized that Saint Abyss Continent was a high-level region and left Saint Abyss City to hunt Outer Realm Demons.
