Chapter Summaries

At the Palm Buddhist Kingdom gathering, Su Bai rebuffed Elder Lin Hai’s intrusive questions and intimidated him with his newly revealed Mid Deity Transformation cultivation. The Buddhist tower’s gates then opened, and the Kingdom’s powerful representatives appeared as everyone awaited the main guest.

• Lin Hai approached Su Bai to ask about the rumors, but Su Bai told him to dig out his own eyes if he wanted a clearer look.
• Lin Hai warned Su Bai that Lu Jiu was absent, and Su Bai answered by releasing an aura that revealed his Mid Deity Transformation cultivation and sharp Sword Intent.
• Lin Hai backed down and apologized, while the other Demon Cultivator leaders avoided provoking Su Bai; Yan Ling’s mood improved.
• Nine bells rang, and the Buddhist tower gates opened as Bodhisattvas and Arhats emerged, including Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva, Xuanzhen Arhat, and Nameless Mud Monk.

Su Bai used a fabricated Great Void Shift Talisman to teleport himself, Yan Ling, and Zhu Biao from the Buddhist Capital straight back to the Great Qian Capital. The group arrived safely at the Demon Suppression Division, leaving Yan Ling astonished by the talisman’s range and smooth passage.

• Su Bai warned Yan Ling and Zhu Biao that enemies might attack them on the long journey home and presented a Great Void Shift Talisman he claimed Lu Jiu had given him.
• Yan Ling asked Su Bai to request more talismans from Lu Jiu, but Su Bai said he had only one and insisted Yan Ling’s safety justified using it.
• Su Bai told Yan Ling and Zhu Biao to steady themselves and suppress their auras, then activated the talisman.
• The talisman transported Su Bai, Yan Ling, and Zhu Biao from the Buddhist Capital to the pavilion in the Demon Suppression Division’s core region.
• Yan Ling confirmed their arrival in the Great Qian Capital and marveled at the teleportation’s speed and stability.

Su Bai returned to his residence in the Great Qian Capital and joined Yan Yun and Xiao Xiao for a private gathering. He confirmed that Nine-tail had been sent back to Eternal Night Forest, while considering how to approach Wutian Buddha and deal with the danger he posed.

• Su Bai returned to his guarded estate in Tranquility Ward and found Yan Yun and Xiao Xiao waiting in the rear garden.
• Yan Yun asked Su Bai about rumors that he had spent a romantic night with the Nine-tailed Empress, and Su Bai slapped him and warned him to stop prying.
• Su Bai reflected that he had secretly sent Nine-tail back to Eternal Night Forest to build an intelligence network and establish herself as its chief mistress.
• Su Bai worried that Wutian Buddha's unstable state could become dangerous and planned to copy Wutian's Yang Law when [Immortal Talent Reflection] came off cooldown.
• Su Bai considered whether to eliminate Wutian before his demonic nature recovered, but recognized the challenge posed by Wutian's power and guardians.

After making sure Yan Yun and Xiao Xiao were safely escorted home, Su Bai cleared the wine poison from his system and began cultivating in seclusion. A sudden clash of Peak Deity Transformation experts erupted at the Night Watch Palace, and Su Bai tried to investigate without violating imperial law, but his Primordial Spirit perception met an obstacle.

• Su Bai ordered his steward to escort the unconscious Yan Yun and Xiao Xiao home, with instructions to avoid entering the Night Watch Palace if it seemed unsafe.
• Su Bai took Mind-Cleansing Essence-Purifying Pills to dispel the wine poison and restore his Primordial Spirit to full strength.
• Su Bai checked that Yan Yun and Xiao Xiao had reached safety, then returned to his cultivation chamber to study the Myriad Transformations Sword Dao.
• Su Bai sensed a violent clash among Peak Deity Transformation experts at the Night Watch Palace and realized trouble had broken out there.
• Su Bai held back from intervening without authorization and sent his Primordial Spirit toward the Night Watch Palace, where it encountered an unexpected obstacle.

Su Bai sensed that Qian Emperor had left the Imperial Palace to deal with a crisis at the Night Watch Palace, just as the wounded Zhang He escaped and attacked the Imperial Garden. Zhang He summoned a massive wave of corrupting water that threatened to destroy the garden’s protective barrier, with Su Bai standing in his way.

• Su Bai sensed Qian Emperor’s Imperial Aura and Dragon Seal disappear as the emperor headed to the Night Watch Palace.
• Zhang He appeared near the Imperial Garden, and his sudden pressure killed several early Deity Transformation royal guards.
• Su Bai recognized the injured, maddened Lampkeeper Nightwatcher and realized he had used blue monsters as a diversion during his escape.
• Zhang He ignored Su Bai and unleashed a huge black wave of Profound Nether Heavy Water toward the Imperial Garden.
• The wave’s ghostly face roared as the garden’s protective barrier shook and began to dim.

Su Bai concealed his true strength from Qian Emperor and continued guarding the royal family while considering whether to create an independent avatar. After Qian Emperor resolved the crisis at Night Watch Palace, Xuanyuan Ningxin ordered Su Bai to lead his subordinates there and erase the battlefield completely.

• Su Bai hid his cultivation and law comprehension from Qian Emperor, who praised him before departing for Night Watch Palace.
• Su Bai remained above the Imperial Garden and pondered creating a more independent avatar using [Immortal Talent Reflection], his bloodline, and his understanding of laws.
• Qian Emperor returned to the Imperial Palace, and Xuanyuan Ningxin told Su Bai the crisis had ended and ordered him to level Night Watch Palace and remove all traces of the battle.
• Su Bai summoned the Demon Queller Envoys under his command, led by Hua Yifeng, and arrived at the ruined Night Watch Palace.
• Su Bai saw that the Main Hall had partly collapsed and the grounds were scarred with broken walls, crumbling ruins, and deep ravines.

After leading a successful raid on a rebel Night Envoy, Su Bai received an order from Celestial Master Xuanyuan Ningxin to return to headquarters for an immediate promotion to Commander Envoy. He considered how his recent achievements and combat strength might have earned him the position.

• Su Bai led elite Demon Queller Envoys in a raid that captured a Deity Transformation Night Envoy who had aided the former Crown Prince Yan Feng and the Sky Roc Dynasty.
• Su Bai ordered Hua Yifeng to take the prisoner to the Demon Suppression Tower and interrogate him for information about rebel connections.
• A message from Celestial Master Xuanyuan Ningxin ordered Su Bai to return to headquarters to be promoted to Commander Envoy.
• Su Bai considered how his stand against Zhang He, his merits, his potential, and the Demon Suppression Division’s need for capable leaders could explain the promotion.

The Qian Emperor formally placed the former Night Watch Palace under the Demon Suppression Division and ordered it to search for the fugitive former Crown Prince, Yan Feng. After declaring Yan Feng’s possible punishments, he asked Xuanyuan Ningxin for advice on choosing a new Crown Prince.

• The Qian Emperor appointed Wufeng to join the Demon Suppression Division, and Xuanyuan Ningxin welcomed the appointment while acknowledging the Night Watch Palace’s end.
• The Qian Emperor charged Xuanyuan Ningxin, Su Bai, Ye Qingxuan, White Eagle, and Wufeng with protecting Great Qian under the Demon Suppression Division.
• Xuanyuan Ningxin reported that Yan Feng had fled toward the border between Northern Province and the Demon Kingdom, but the search had lost his trail.
• The Qian Emperor ordered Yan Feng killed if he resisted, or stripped of his cultivation and imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower if he surrendered.
• The Qian Emperor asked Xuanyuan Ningxin for his thoughts on selecting a new Crown Prince.

• Wufeng pledged to follow Xuanyuan Ningxin’s orders and help merge the Night Watch Palace into the Demon Suppression Division.
• Over the following months, Wufeng helped reorganize the Night Watch Palace and assign its former members to the Division’s expanded forces.

• Su Bai attracted former Night Watch Palace experts and appointed two Late Deity Transformation sword cultivators as additional commanders.
• One new commander, Dragon Pattern, wielded a heavy sword and possessed a domineering Giant Strength Sword Intent.

Su Bai summoned Wu Tian outside the Buddhist Capital and used Immortal Talent Reflection to scan his nearly perfected Yang Law talent. Wu Tian joined Su Bai by a campfire, where Su Bai offered him roasted beast meat.

• Wu Tian sensed Lu Jiu approaching and answered his telepathic summons, then moved from the Buddhist Capital to their meeting place.
• Su Bai scanned Wu Tian with Immortal Talent Reflection and learned that Wu Tian had 95% comprehension of the Golden Dawn Breaks Spells talent.
• Wu Tian arrived at the mountain hollow and asked Su Bai why he was cooking there.
• Su Bai sliced off roasted beast meat and offered a piece to Wu Tian.

Su Bai secretly copied Wu Tian’s Yang Law and gained 95% comprehension of Golden Dawn Breaks Spells. He realized he needed a corresponding Yin Law to balance it before integrating it into his Grand Five Elements Sword Array, and focused on the promised opportunity to obtain one.

• Su Bai completed the silent copying of Wu Tian’s Yang Law while continuing to pretend he was studying Wu Tian’s aura.
• Su Bai examined his updated talents and noted that the Five Elements Laws were nearing perfection while his copied Laws continued to accumulate.
• Su Bai studied Golden Dawn Breaks Spells and understood its power to pierce, purify, and break through spells.
• Su Bai concluded that integrating the pure Yang Law into his sword array without Yin Law could disrupt its balance and injure him.
• Su Bai resolved to seek the Yin Law through the Extreme Yin Baleful Intent Blood Eye’s promised connection to the Dark Yin Bat Demon Clan.

Su Bai spent ten years in the Great Qian Capital strengthening his Myriad Transformations Sword Dao and gathering Law Treasures. As he continued meditating in the Demon Suppression Division, the chapter left him awaiting an opportunity.

• Su Bai copied the Yang Law from Wutian Buddha, returned to the Great Qian Capital, and resumed his post in the Demon Suppression Division.
• Over ten years, Su Bai copied the Sword Dao Talents of nine Yellow Tier cultivators and one Mysterious Tier cultivator, raising his Myriad Transformations Sword Dao comprehension from 5.5% to 7.4%.
• Su Bai improved the Five-colored Sword Light and Grand Five Elements Sword Array, while realizing that future progress would require more Mysterious Tier Sword Dao Talents and Law Treasures.
• Su Bai traded spirit pills for rare objects containing Law origins and refined two Void-Escaping Spirit Mice that had reached Deity Transformation into Law of Space crystals.
• Su Bai sat in the Demon Suppression Division pavilion and focused on comprehending the sword Dao Law.

Lu Jiu’s fame and strength grew across the Blue Origin Realm after decades of trading for treasures and battling Wutian Buddha. When the Green Snake Old Ancestor asked whether their old agreement still stood, Lu Jiu assured her he would honor his word.

• Lu Jiu became renowned for his immense combat power, treasure hunting, and Deity Transformation Breakthrough Pills.
• The Qian Emperor bought ten Breakthrough Pills from Lu Jiu through Su Bai’s connections.
• The Green Snake Old Ancestor learned of Lu Jiu’s battle against Wutian Buddha and reconsidered how close she had once come to opposing him.
• The Green Snake Old Ancestor asked whether the agreement she had made with Lu Jiu decades earlier still stood.
• Lu Jiu said he would keep his promise and honor the agreement.

Su Bai reached the Mirage Demon Kingdom’s border and examined the strange vortex entrance, finding it connected to a dangerous, illusion-filled realm. Green Snake and White Snake arrived to meet him, and the group stood poised to enter the Mirage Tower Phantom Kingdom.

• Su Bai took an extended leave from Xuanyuan Ningxin and used the Law of Space to travel to the agreed border location.
• Su Bai studied the vortex and concluded that the Mirage Tower Phantom Kingdom was likely a highly independent sub-plane with complex spatial structure.
• Su Bai resisted the illusion power leaking from the entrance with his Primordial Spirit while he waited.
• Green Snake and White Snake arrived at the vortex and landed before Su Bai.

Su Bai, Green Snake, and White Snake crossed the Phantom Sea’s gray grassland under the protection of the invitation letter before being transported into a dark space filled with pulsing red veins. They continued cautiously toward the invitation letter’s guidance, while Liu Meng opened her eyes at the Dream Tapir Clan’s residence.

• Su Bai sensed hidden entities watching the trio in the gray grassland, but they recoiled from the invitation letter’s silver halo.
• The endless grassland abruptly vanished, leaving Su Bai and the two snakes in a dark, blood-red space threaded with pulsing veins.
• Su Bai tested a vein with the Godslayer Sword and found that it passed through without resistance or reaction.
• Green Snake and White Snake examined the strange surroundings as Su Bai confirmed the invitation letter remained stable and guided them onward.
• At the Dream Tapir Clan’s residence, Liu Meng slowly opened her eyes.

Green Snake Old Ancestor fought back against the Blood Butterfly Peril Realm’s crimson-vein tide to protect Su Bai and the injured White Snake. She forced open a temporary buffer zone, but knew she could not afford a prolonged battle and still needed to save White Snake.

• Green Snake Old Ancestor left the Phantom Sea Invitation Letter’s protective range and charged the encroaching crimson veins.
• She used her powerful Law of Strength to smash through layers of Illusory Sea Space and expose glimpses of other illusion realms.
• Green Snake’s repeated punches created a temporary shattered buffer zone that stopped the crimson veins from fully surrounding the group.
• Green Snake recognized that she could only hold the enemy back briefly and that White Snake’s injuries made delay dangerous.

Su Bai used his spatial and spiritual laws to see through the Phantom Sea’s illusions and destroy the Blood Butterfly Peril Realm’s core. Liu Meng arrived to rescue him but found the Blood Butterfly already defeated, and she praised his strength before the two greeted each other.

• Su Bai sensed the Phantom Sea’s stable spatial core through the illusions and reflected on how his laws had helped him destroy the Blood Butterfly’s core.
• Liu Meng appeared after rushing to the Blood Butterfly Peril Realm to rescue Su Bai, but she had witnessed him annihilate its core.
• Su Bai greeted Liu Meng as a fellow Daoist and noticed that her appearance was fully solid within the Phantom Sea.
• Liu Meng explained that the invitation letter had alerted her to his danger and praised him for destroying the peril realm alone.

Su Bai and Liu Meng entered a dark-blue void where a mechanical voice identified them as Peak Deity Transformation lifeforms and launched a mass mental attack. Liu Meng raised a dream-power barrier, but the barrage quickly battered it and left her struggling under the pressure.

• Su Bai and Liu Meng appeared in the dark-blue void, surrounded by pale-blue points of light.
• A mechanical voice scanned them, assessed their cultivation as Peak Deity Transformation, and activated a Mental Annihilation Ray Array.
• The points of light fired hundreds or thousands of mental rays at Su Bai and Liu Meng from every direction.
• Liu Meng formed a barrier with her Dream Tapir Clan’s primal dream power to shield them both.
• The rays tore holes through Liu Meng’s barrier, dimmed it, and left her aura in turmoil.

Su Bai discovered that refining the Deep Blue World’s blue nodes yielded pure Mental Law crystals with almost no cost to his bloodline. After one crystal raised his [Boundless Dao Source] comprehension to 3.5%, he resolved to investigate the ancient civilization behind Deep Blue.

• Su Bai refined a blue node with [Jade and Stone Burn Together] and found that the process barely consumed his Jade Stone Demon bloodline power.
• Su Bai absorbed the resulting Mental Law crystal and raised his [Boundless Dao Source] comprehension from 1.5% to 3.5%.
• Su Bai realized that refining the many blue nodes could greatly advance his law comprehension and potentially help him reach the Void Refining stage.
• Su Bai examined memory fragments from Deep Blue and learned that the ancient Star Calculation Sect had focused on deducing heavenly mysteries, analyzing laws, and modeling ultimate principles.

Su Bai rejected Deep Blue’s offer of a node every ten years and stripped nearly a hundred more nodes from the Deep Blue World. Deep Blue activated the Heavenly Vault Array’s self-destruct mode, leaving Su Bai trying to talk it down before the remaining nodes detonated.

• Deep Blue offered Su Bai a node crystal every ten years in exchange for an end to his harvesting.
• Su Bai used [Grasp of the Earth] to seize more nodes, ignoring Deep Blue’s pleas to negotiate.
• Su Bai stripped nearly a hundred nodes, leaving a vast empty stretch in the Deep Blue World.
• Deep Blue transformed its face and activated the Heavenly Vault Array’s self-destruct mode, locking its remaining nodes onto Su Bai.
• Su Bai urged Deep Blue to stop and resume negotiations, and the destructive energy briefly faltered.
