Chapter Summaries

Zhou Lan prepared to break through to Deity Transformation after a century of refining her cultivation and tracing her own sword Dao Law. The chapter revealed that her master’s disappearance had left her vulnerable to rival Elders in the Misty Sword Sect, who sought to block her rise and keep her from becoming Holy Maiden.

• Zhou Lan became the Sword Pavilion’s foremost disciple under Su Bai’s personal guidance, while keeping her identity there hidden behind her public role in the Misty Sword Sect.
• Zhou Lan waited a hundred years to advance, seeking to use the tribulation to establish the sword Dao Law she had begun to comprehend.
• Zhou Lan decided to attempt her Deity Transformation breakthrough after reaching the threshold of her own sword Dao Law.
• Zhou Lan’s master disappeared eighty years earlier while exploring an ancient Secret Realm, leaving her without his protection in the Misty Sword Sect.
• Three Deity Transformation Elders began suppressing Zhou Lan’s reputation and resources, assigning her dangerous missions as they promoted their own disciples for the coming Holy Maiden selection.

Su Bai, disguised as the Sword God, appeared before Zhou Lan as three Misty Sword Sect Elders tried to escape the heavenly tribulation. He trapped and subdued them, then began refining their bodies.

• The three Elders crushed their spatial teleportation talismans, but discovered that space had been sealed and they could not escape.
• Su Bai appeared before Zhou Lan, who recognized him as the Pavilion Master.
• Su Bai used the Heavenly Pull Technique to drag the three Elders toward him.
• Su Bai froze the Elders’ Primordial Spirits and sealed their bodies in place.
• Su Bai used Grasp of the Earth to crush and refine the three Elders’ bodies.

Su Bai refined a third Deity Transformation Sword Cultivator’s Law Treasure, raising his [Myriad Transformations Sword Dao] insight from 55 to 57. He rejected the idea of refining every sword cultivator in the realm and weighed waiting for his disciples to advance against cultivating the Dao himself.

• Su Bai finished refining the frost sword crystal from the Elder surnamed Wang and absorbed its sword Dao insights.
• Su Bai calculated that he would need to refine over a hundred sword Dao Deity Transformation Cultivators to complete [Myriad Transformations Sword Dao].
• Su Bai realized that killing that many cultivators would expose him as the Sword God and Su Bai, making him a target of the Human Race.
• Su Bai dismissed mass refinement as too dangerous and considered waiting for his Sword Pavilion Disciples to advance or comprehending the Dao himself over a thousand years.

Su Bai led an elite Demon Suppression Division team to the Misty Sword Sect to investigate the deaths of three Deity Transformation Elders, while Zhou Lan prepared the sect to cooperate. A message from the Pavilion Master suggested the investigation was arranged in advance, but Su Bai’s arrival left Zhou Lan uneasy.

• Su Bai gave Zhou Lan five days to stabilize the Misty Sword Sect before setting out with Dragon Pattern and more than twenty Demon Queller Envoys.
• Su Bai instructed the Demon Queller Envoys to investigate thoroughly while respecting the sect’s status and dignity.
• Zhou Lan gathered the Misty Sword Sect’s senior members at the mountain gate to receive Su Bai and his team.
• Zhou Lan recalled the Pavilion Master’s message telling her to cooperate and realized she had consolidated control of the sect ahead of the investigation.
• Zhou Lan questioned whether Su Bai’s visit was merely a formality as she remembered his reputation as the Demon Suppression Division’s killing god.

Seventeen years after helping Zhou Lan become a Deity Transformation Cultivator, Su Bai had refined twenty Deity Transformation Sword Cultivators and raised his Myriad Transformations Sword Dao to Earth Tier 75. The Demon Suppression Division declared the Sword God a wanted criminal and appointed Su Bai to lead the hunt, unaware that he was the Sword God himself.

• Zhou Lan became Sect Master of the Misty Sword Sect and comprehended the Frost-Sky Annihilation sword Dao Law, while three other Sword Pavilion disciples advanced to Deity Transformation under Su Bai's guidance.
• Su Bai refined seventeen Deity Transformation Sword Cultivators over seventeen years, bringing the total killed by him to twenty and raising his Myriad Transformations Sword Dao from 57 to 75.
• The upper ranks of the Demon Suppression Division traced the suspicious deaths of Deity Transformation Sword Cultivators to the Sword Pavilion and learned that its master called himself the Sword God.
• Xuanyuan Ningxin declared the Sword God a wanted criminal and assigned Su Bai to command the effort to capture him, not knowing Su Bai was the target.
• Su Bai used his position in the Demon Suppression Division to collect every clue about the Sword God while his avatar copied talents across the Qingxuan Realm.

Su Bai copied Wendao’s Heavenly Secrets Deduction while observing the old man’s attempt to calculate his next life. As Wendao’s life force began pouring into the deduction, Su Bai realized the request carried a grave cost.

• Wendao asked Su Bai to observe as he deduced his own next life, and Su Bai agreed.
• As Wendao began the deduction, Su Bai pressed a hand to his back and copied his Heavenly Secrets Deduction.
• Su Bai sensed the new ability expanding his awareness and saw indistinct visions of the forest’s future.
• Su Bai considered how the foresight could aid him in battle and help him stand undefeated in the Spirit Transformation realm.
• Su Bai noticed Wendao’s law vortex draining his life essence and suspected the old man’s request was no sudden decision.

Su Bai used his newly acquired Heavenly Secrets Deduction law to locate the hidden Void-Escaping Spirit Mice and began hunting them down to complete his laws before ascending. He captured and refined the first mouse, turning it into a silver diamond-shaped crystal.

• Su Bai reflected on the Demon Suppression Division's planned ambush and decided he no longer needed to delay his preparations for ascension.
• Su Bai used Heavenly Secrets Deduction to find the Void-Escaping Spirit Mice hidden in nested dimensional spaces and a Lesser World.
• Su Bai opened a spatial gateway into the first mouse's hiding place and sealed its escape routes.
• Su Bai restrained the Void-Escaping Spirit Mouse and refined it into a thumb-sized, silver crystal.

Su Bai hunted down and refined Deity Transformation sword cultivators across the Great Qian Capital, drawing the survivors toward the Demon Suppression Division. Xuanyuan Ningxin and four powerful allies confronted Su Bai, but his overwhelming mastery of laws left them afraid to act.

• Su Bai dragged a gray-robed Deity Transformation sword cultivator from hiding and refined him into a Sword Dao Law Treasure, bringing his tally to eight.
• Demon Suppression Division cultivators urged the remaining sword cultivators to flee to the division’s tower for protection.
• Xuanyuan Ningxin told Ye Qingxuan and the others that Su Bai had perfected at least seven or eight laws and that their chance of victory was below ten percent.
• Xuanyuan Ningxin drew his allies, including two royal Peak Deity Transformation reserves, into action and led them toward Su Bai.
• Xuanyuan Ningxin and the four others faced Su Bai in the night sky but hesitated after witnessing his one-sided slaughter of the sword cultivators.

Su Bai refined the Law Treasures of the six cultivators he had defeated, completing his [Myriad Transformations Sword Dao] comprehension. With the Great Qian Capital unharmed and the Qian Emperor still watching from afar, he prepared to enter the Law Dimension and condense his own thread of law.

• Su Bai refined the six defeated cultivators into Law Treasures, keeping White Eagle's [Sky Eagle Saber Dao] and taking the five sword dao treasures for himself.
• Su Bai noticed the Qian Emperor watching from the Imperial Palace, recognized that he had chosen not to intervene, and turned his attention back to the treasures.
• Su Bai swallowed and refined the five sword dao Law Treasures as the cultivators of the Great Qian Capital watched in silence.
• After absorbing the [Aurora Sword Dao] origin, Su Bai completed his [Myriad Transformations Sword Dao] comprehension at one hundred percent.
• Su Bai announced that he would enter the Law Dimension to claim a law fragment and condense his own thread of law, then withdrew the Spatial Confinement around the capital.

Su Bai successfully severed a chaos-colored fragment from the Myriad Transformations Sword Dao laws and stored it in his sea of consciousness. After resting in Void Space, he prepared to temper it with his divine soul as the final step toward the Void Refining realm.

• Su Bai repeatedly struck the fragment’s connection to the main vein until it snapped free.
• Su Bai shielded the fragment from the laws’ rejection and dragged it out of the dimension of laws.
• Su Bai sealed the fragment in the deepest reaches of his sea of consciousness and identified tempering it with his divine soul as the next step.
• Su Bai rested in Void Space until his fatigue disappeared, then said he was ready to begin.

Su Bai discovered that his Myriad Transformations Sword Dao was a three-star Heaven-tier talent that could devour Earth-tier talents, and he wondered whether his abilities had been arranged by some hidden force. He devoured his completed Earth-tier talents, merging their laws into his sword path as he focused on ascending to the Spirit Realm.

• Su Bai examined his three-star Heaven-tier Myriad Transformations Sword Dao and learned it could devour most Earth-tier talents with fully completed comprehension to raise its star rating.
• Su Bai considered how Immortal Talent Reflection and Myriad Transformations Sword Dao complemented each other, then wondered whether his transmigration and the game were part of a hidden plan.
• Su Bai set aside the questions he could not yet answer and resolved to ascend to the Spirit Realm before investigating further.
• Su Bai ordered Immortal Talent Reflection to devour his completed Earth-tier talents, and their laws merged into Myriad Transformations Sword Dao.
• Su Bai sensed that the Five Elements Law had become Five Elements Sword Intent.

Su Bai completed his transformation into a Void Refining Cultivator while passing through the Ascension Passage and arrived in the Spirit Realm. He found himself in a barren wasteland, with his Immortal Art still unsealing and three days remaining.

• Su Bai absorbed the Heavenly Dao's energy in the Ascension Passage as it strengthened his body, Primordial Spirit, and divine soul.
• After half an hour, Su Bai emerged as a true Void Refining Cultivator and entered the Spirit Realm.
• Su Bai sensed that the Spirit Realm's spatial structure was far sturdier and its Spiritual Energy far richer than the Lower Realm's.
• Su Bai checked his interface and saw that his Immortal Art would take three more days to unseal.
• Su Bai surveyed the black, lifeless wasteland where he had arrived.

Su Bai met the two Spirit Realm reception envoys who had tracked his aura after his ascension. He learned from a Jade Slip that they intended to take him to the Purple Zenith Spirit Domain and left with an initial understanding of the Spirit Realm’s continents and ascension points.

• Su Bai waited openly as a gray-robed elder and a silver-robed youth arrived on a magical artifact.
• The two Deity Transformation cultivators greeted Su Bai and identified themselves as reception envoys sent to welcome him.
• The elder said they intended to take Su Bai to the Purple Zenith Spirit Domain and gave him a Jade Slip about their faction and the Spirit Realm.
• Su Bai read the Jade Slip and learned that the Spirit Realm consisted of scattered spirit-earth continents, while the Purple Zenith Spirit Domain controlled more than three hundred of them.
• Su Bai learned that ascension points were fixed, publicly guarded locations where cultivators from nearby Lower Realms arrived.
