Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei exposed the Chen Family’s corruption and challenged its 12.0 ancestor, Chen Ding, in front of Azure Cloud City. After killing Chen Ding and capturing Family Head Chen Xiaoxian, Chu Fei ordered the Lord’s Mansion to seize the family’s property and deal with its members.

• Zhang Xiaobo reported warehouse corruption to Chu Fei, who rewarded him with a tray of 13.0 incense and ordered him to prepare for a meeting.

• Chen Xiaoxian tried to flee, but Chu Fei repeatedly disrupted him with a curse, captured him, and ordered Zhang Weiming to confiscate the Chen Family’s property while sparing those who surrendered or testified.

After crushing the Chen Family, Chu Fei refined his level 12.0 combat techniques, named his new attack Dark Star, and gathered Azure Cloud City’s fortune. He appointed Zhang Weiming as the next City Lord and headed east toward Red Pine City, where he used the Soul Ascension Potion to draw a massive swarm of insects to Zheng Chengan’s forces.

• At Iron Fan Pass, Chu Fei told Zheng Chengan he was seeking a gift for Long Qingqing and proposed using vaporized Soul Ascension Potion to lure insects from the mother nest.
• Chu Fei vaporized seven bottles of Soul Ascension Potion, drawing a huge swarm toward Zheng Chengan, then fled while Zheng Chengan and his team fought the insects.

Chu Fei defeated Zhao Kaiquan after a fierce battle and carried him toward the Thunderclap Land Carrier, where he met Long Qingqing and sought her support. Long Qingqing welcomed him, and they approached the moving steel city together.

• Chu Fei dodged an Electromagnetic Cannon shot, then fought Zhao Kaiquan and gradually deciphered his movements, finally capturing him after interrupting his transformation with Law-enhanced curses.
• Chu Fei fled toward the Thunderclap Land Carrier with Zhao Kaiquan while three Dragon People pursued him, but he wounded them with Dark Stars and forced them to retreat.

• Long Qingqing supported Chu Fei and spoke with him about the Thunderclap Land Carrier and cultivation as they traveled together.
• Chu Fei and Long Qingqing saw the Thunderclap Land Carrier approaching through the forest, and Chu Fei prepared to board it for the first time.

Chu Fei boarded the Thunderclap Land Carrier and, through a brief insight, crossed the soul-level threshold of 12.0, though he still lacked a suitable cultivation technique. Long Qingqing introduced him to the carrier’s powerful Second Battle Team at a welcome banquet, where his capture of a 12.0 Dragon Person and his artifact-making earned him widespread attention.

• Chu Fei and Long Qingqing approached the Thunderclap Land Carrier, and Long Qingqing explained why it kept moving to avoid detection by the Higher-Dimensional World.
• After stepping aboard, Chu Fei gained a deeper understanding of cultivation as forging one’s own path and crossed the soul-level threshold of 12.0.
• Long Qingqing registered Chu Fei, explained the carrier’s interest in studying Dragon People, and brought him to meet its residents and experts.
• Long Qingqing introduced Chu Fei as Master Chu and revealed that he had captured the 12.0 Dragon Person Zhao Kaiquan and forged Cheng Buyun’s saber.
• Chu Fei met the Second Battle Team’s high-level cultivators and realized that Cheng Buyun had been using his artifact weapons to attract allies.

Chu Fei sold potions and Spring Rain Incense to Thunderclap Land Carrier’s leaders while secretly using the incense to ensnare them, then prepared materials for custom magical artifacts. As his plan got underway, the Lord of Thunderclap emerged from seclusion and summoned him for a talk.

• Chu Fei arranged his potions and crafting materials in his villa, replenished his stamina, and cultivated with Spring Rain Incense as the two maids joined him.
• Cheng Buyun arrived, and Chu Fei offered Spring Rain Incense for sale and proposed refining more in exchange for a handling fee.
• Long Qingqing and Qi Hongbin arrived, followed by the other combat-team captains and inspectors, and Chu Fei sold them potions and incense while taking orders for custom magical artifacts.
• Chu Fei exchanged the goods for resources, medicinal ingredients, crystals, knowledge, and a ton of Black Iron and Red Copper, then restored his workshop and began production.
• Chu Fei refined Spring Rain Incense from three Sun and Moon Conjoined Lotuses and delivered it to the three squad leaders, who returned to secluded cultivation.
• Long Qingqing told Chu Fei that the Lord of Thunderclap had emerged from seclusion and wanted to meet him, so Chu Fei followed her to the command center.

Chu Fei met the Lord of Thunderclap, secured access to the library and techniques, and learned the rules of the Dragon Gate Secret Realm from Long Qingqing. He realized the realm’s fortune system made talented cultivators valuable targets, and suspected the Lord viewed him as a source of fortune.

• Chu Fei met the Lord of Thunderclap, requested access to books and combat techniques, and received permission to use the library’s first three floors and techniques Long Qingqing could access.
• Chu Fei traded Spring Rain Incense and a Talisman of Nothingness for treasury access worth fifteen billion, while the Lord of Thunderclap asked him to forge magical treasures for the experts.
• Long Qingqing showed Chu Fei archival footage and explained that the Dragon Gate Secret Realm contained arenas where cultivators fought for fortune and paid to advance through dragon gates.
• Chu Fei learned that fortune could be stored in the realm, that outsiders brought in large amounts, and that the Lord of Thunderclap had accumulated fortune for over twenty years.
• Long Qingqing warned Chu Fei that killing a genius could yield substantial fortune, prompting him to suspect the Lord of Thunderclap saw him as an oversized power bank.

Chu Fei selected advanced equipment and resources from Thunderclap Land Carrier’s vault, then used the new machine tool and server to begin producing armor. He completed the exchange for the full Essence Disintegration Method and agreed to attend the evening auction, but the method warned that the Essence Absorption Method could only be removed after entering the Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

• Chu Fei chose a machine tool, an extra-large Space Capsule, analytical equipment, a server, and medicinal herbs from the vault using his 150-billion quota.
• Chu Fei connected the machine tool to the server and started forging armor from his design data.
• Cheng Buyun, Zheng Chengan, Long Qingqing, and Qian Weilong privately coordinated with Chu Fei while publicly arguing over the quality and price of magical artifacts.
• Chu Fei traded magical artifacts and upgrades with the four visitors and obtained the complete Essence Disintegration Method.
• Cheng Buyun invited Chu Fei to the Thunderclap Land Carrier auction, and Chu Fei decided to attend and spend his contribution points.
• Chu Fei studied the Essence Disintegration Method and learned that the Essence Absorption Method could only be removed after entering the Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

Chu Fei studied the Essence Disintegration Method, traded for resources, and forged equipment while preparing for the Dragon Gate Secret Realm. He left Thunderclap Land Carrier under a pretext, purged Azure Cloud City’s powerful clans, and encountered an enraged black Lizard Dragon near Wang Family Town.

• Chu Fei recognized that Cheng Buyun and the other 12.0 experts were preparing to act during the Dragon Gate Secret Realm expedition, then studied the Essence Disintegration Method and its vast collection of combat techniques and algorithms.
• At the auction, Lord of Thunderclap introduced Chu Fei as a half-step 13.0 potion master, and Chu Fei promised to brew potions and forge magical artifacts before the expedition.
• Chu Fei traded potions and incense for supplies, forged more than thirty-two magical artifacts, accumulated Hyper-Dimensional Metal, and completed armor for himself.
• Chu Fei left Thunderclap Land Carrier, visited Azure Cloud City, and killed at least twenty-seven 11.0 experts while purging the clans that had defied his policies.
• Chu Fei headed toward Red Pine City, but near Wang Family Town a huge black Lizard Dragon appeared and confronted him with killing intent.

Chu Fei returned the Dragon Pearl to the Heavenly Dragon and arranged a staged pursuit so he could test his strength against Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin. After injuring Liu Jinhui and escaping Chao Jianmin, Chu Fei assessed his combat limits as the two Dragon People continued chasing him.

• Chu Fei gave the Dragon Pearl to the Heavenly Dragon, which completed its rebirth and agreed to resume their trade by opening the Talisman of Nothingness.
• Chu Fei asked the Heavenly Dragon to send pursuers, then stored it in the Talisman of Nothingness when Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin arrived.
• Chu Fei charged Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin, using rapid turns, a feint, and a shoulder strike to badly injure Liu Jinhui.
• Chu Fei evaded Chao Jianmin’s attacks and fled, concluding that he could likely kill either Dragon Person alone but could only draw against both together.
• Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin pursued Chu Fei, who accelerated to about 1.8 times the speed of sound as they intensified their Heavenly Dragon transformations.

Chu Fei escaped Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin by using Dark Star to slow them before nearly killing Liu Jinhui with a sword strike, then returned to the Thunderclap Land Carrier and prepared for the Dragon Gate Secret Realm. After trading Rebirth Potions with Long Qingqing and traveling west, the carrier reached the border with the Blazing Flame Land Carrier, where the two sides faced off.

• Liu Jinhui and Chao Jianmin pursued Chu Fei at high speed, and he turned to face them after using his perception and computational abilities to devise a counterattack.
• Chu Fei's Dark Stars slowed the two Dragon People, allowing him to sever Liu Jinhui's sword and badly wound him before escaping; Liu Jinhui realized Chu Fei had held back and Chao Jianmin suspected Chu Fei planned to target the Lord of Thunderclap.
• Chu Fei returned to the Thunderclap Land Carrier, explained his risky fight to Long Qingqing, and traded Rebirth Potions for valuable cultivation resources.
• Chu Fei discussed the Dragon Gate Secret Realm with Long Qingqing, and the Thunderclap Land Carrier stopped at Yumen City for a day before continuing west.
• The Thunderclap Land Carrier reached the border with the Blazing Flame Land Carrier, and the two carriers aimed their weapons and locked their radars on each other.

Before Dragon Gate Secret Realm opened, Chu Fei used a newly acquired server to build and test a Computational Power Domain, giving himself a powerful new combat tool. He inspected the marketplace but chose to avoid unnecessary trouble while waiting for the secret realm to open.

• Chu Fei learned from Long Qingqing that the Lords of Thunderclap and Blazing Flame were competing for fortune and resources as they prepared to break through.
• After the Red Pine City battle, Chu Fei focused on computational power as a short-term way to strengthen himself and began designing a Computational Power Domain.
• Chu Fei used the ancient small server to simulate and refine the domain, then optimized his Main Cosmic Brain, increasing its computational power by about five percent.
• Chu Fei tested Computational Power Domain 1.0 on his way to the deck and found that it operated without errors.
• Chu Fei and Long Qingqing watched the crowded marketplace between the Land Carriers, but Chu Fei declined to visit it and risk provoking trouble before Dragon Gate Secret Realm opened.

Chu Fei watched the Dragon Gate Secret Realm appear and joined the rush to enter, where fortune determined who could cross its passage. The two Land Carrier Lords promised to protect independent cultivators while secretly treating them as sustenance, and Chu Fei stepped into the realm alongside their rival groups.

• Chu Fei listened to market conversations and waited with Long Qingqing, Zheng Chengan, Cheng Buyun, and the others as the countdown to the secret realm’s appearance ran down.
• The Dragon Gate Secret Realm emerged beneath the moon, revealing rainbow bridges said to correspond to cultivation levels from 10.0 to 16.0, and Chu Fei recognized the passage as a Fortune Channel.
• Chu Fei followed the Lord of Thunderclap toward the passage and saw a cultivator kill someone who had entered it, while other people failed to cross without enough fortune.
• The Lord of Thunderclap and the Lord of Blazing Flame flipped a coin, then both promised independent cultivators safe passage into the secret realm.
• The Lord of Blazing Flame told people who lacked sufficient fortune to carry one another, and cultivators—including a seven-person human pyramid—successfully crossed the passage.
• The Lord of Thunderclap and the Lord of Blazing Flame entered side by side with their followers, and Chu Fei stepped onto the passage while facing a 12.0 cultivator from Blazing Flame Land Carrier.

After entering the Dragon Gate Secret Realm, Chu Fei tested the strange amplification of his advanced techniques and discovered that his curses and Dark Star could overwhelm powerful opponents. He headed toward the yellow Dragon Gate after killing two Blazing Flame Land Carrier experts, but Yan Xiaolong spotted and pursued him.

• Chu Fei entered the Dragon Gate Secret Realm, killed an inland cultivator who drew a gun on him, and rejected the fortune that flew from the corpse.
• Chu Fei released Heavenly Dragon and revealed that he had poisoned it through the Dragon Pearl, while keeping the Pearl's backdoor in reserve.
• Chu Fei discovered that the Secret Realm amplified his advanced techniques, traced the effect to advanced algorithms, and tested Dark Star on the surrounding peaks.
• Two Blazing Flame Land Carrier experts attacked Chu Fei, but he immobilized them with curses and killed them with Dark Stars.
• After Zheng Chengan called him toward the yellow Dragon Gate, Chu Fei cautiously set out and encountered Yan Xiaolong, who pursued him.

Chu Fei fought Inspector Yan Xiaolong in a fierce battle, using his Computational Power Domain and newly strengthened techniques to overcome Yan Xiaolong’s superior experience. After Chu Fei severed Yan Xiaolong’s mechanical arm, the inspector fled, and Chu Fei pursued him.

• Chu Fei stopped fleeing and attacked Yan Xiaolong, landing a Critical Strike empowered by Ultraviolet Catastrophe and sending him crashing into a mountain.
• Chu Fei and Yan Xiaolong exchanged supersonic attacks, and Chu Fei’s flying sword cut Yan Xiaolong’s forehead.
• Chu Fei used his Computational Power Domain to exploit Yan Xiaolong’s impaired mechanical arm and fight him through a prolonged battle of attrition.
• Chu Fei’s sword light tore through Yan Xiaolong’s defenses and knocked his mechanical right arm away.
• Yan Xiaolong turned and ran, and Chu Fei declared that he would not escape.

Chu Fei killed Yan Xiaolong, then reflected on how to unify his many combat abilities into a more efficient system. He concluded that the Dragon Gate Secret Realm was probably a fragment of a Higher-Dimensional World and reached Cheng Buyun and the others carrying Yan Xiaolong’s head.

• Chu Fei recovered quickly, pursued Yan Xiaolong, and used curses and Dark Stars to cripple him before the Feathered Serpent killed him and absorbed his fortune.
• Chu Fei took Yan Xiaolong’s head and planned to let the Feathered Serpent kill future prey while he pursued his own Dragon Gate goals.
• Chu Fei reviewed his battle and considered using Unstoppable Attack as a platform to integrate and optimize his many combat techniques.
• After sensing a 12.0 intermediate-level expert aiming an Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle at him, Chu Fei killed the attacker and had the Feathered Serpent destroy his brain.
• Chu Fei concluded that the Dragon Gate Secret Realm was likely a fragment of a Higher-Dimensional World, then found Cheng Buyun, the Lord of Thunderclap, and the others.

Chu Fei arrived at the Dragon Gate Secret Realm, uncovered the brutal rules governing its arenas, and gained insights into hyperdimensionality while observing the fighting. As the Blazing Flame Land Carrier launched a massive assault on the Thunderclap Land Carrier, Cheng Buyun gave the signal for Chu Fei’s group to rebel against the Lord of Thunderclap.

• Chu Fei killed Yan Xiaolong and reached the Thunderclap Land Carrier camp, where Long Qingqing explained that the group was preserving its strength to help the Lord of Thunderclap leap through the 14.0 Dragon Gate.
• Chu Fei shared his method for removing the Essence Absorption Method, and Cheng Buyun successfully removed it before confronting a man who had leaped through the Dragon Gate and killing him with a saber strike.
• Chu Fei studied the arenas and the Dragon Gate rules, gaining new insights into hyperdimensionality and planning a combat platform based on the Indestructible Law.
• A faint dragon roar alerted Chu Fei, Long Qingqing, and the two lords, while a soul attack from the Dragon Gate’s twin dragons killed a wounded cultivator trying to strike at someone undergoing transformation.
• More than five hundred experts, led by Blazing Flame Land Carrier personnel, charged the Thunderclap Land Carrier as the Lord of Blazing Flame confronted the Lord of Thunderclap.
• Cheng Buyun gave the agreed signal and called for resistance against the Lord of Thunderclap’s enslavement, and Long Qingqing, Zheng Chengan, Qi Hongbin, and the others sprang into action.

Cheng Buyun led a mutiny against the Lord of Thunderclap, then withdrew with Chu Fei and forty others while the two land-carrier lords fought. As the Lord of Blazing Flame called in Jiang Hailong to aid him, Chu Fei recognized Jiang Hailong’s saber as one of the magical treasures he had forged and realized revealing that fact could expose him.

• Cheng Buyun ordered his followers to turn on Thunderclap Land Carrier, and the surviving rebels withdrew as Blazing Flame Land Carrier and the Rogue Cultivators attacked.
• Chu Fei and Cheng Buyun’s group defeated a band of Rogue Cultivators and waited on a solitary peak while Chu Fei studied the lords’ battle.
• The Lord of Thunderclap and the Lord of Blazing Flame exchanged law-based attacks, and Chu Fei judged that the Lord of Thunderclap was gaining the advantage as they tired.
• The Lord of Blazing Flame called Jiang Hailong to help him, and Chu Fei recognized the long saber Jiang Hailong carried as a magical treasure he had forged.
• Chu Fei chose not to warn the Lord of Blazing Flame because doing so could expose his role in supplying weapons to Thunderclap Land Carrier.

Chu Fei and his allies exposed Jiang Hailong’s betrayal, helped the Lord of Blazing Flame survive the ambush, and killed Jiang Hailong. As the Rogue Cultivators gained the upper hand in the ensuing battle, the Lord of Thunderclap returned to face Chu Fei’s group.

• Chu Fei warned Cheng Buyun that Jiang Hailong seemed suspicious, and Jiang Hailong suddenly cut off the Lord of Blazing Flame’s arm before attacking the Lord of Thunderclap with his allies.
• Cheng Buyun, Qi Hongbin, and Qian Weilong detonated three directional bombs, injuring both Lords and disrupting the fight as Chu Fei, Long Qingqing, and Zheng Chengan charged in.
• Long Qingqing recovered the Lord of Blazing Flame’s severed arm, fought Jiang Hailong, and was nearly killed when he unleashed a powerful attack.
• Chu Fei used a hidden control method to destabilize Jiang Hailong’s saber, then killed him, destroyed his brain, and collected his body and level-13.0 destiny aura.
• The Lord of Blazing Flame ordered his defectors killed, but Chen Yilong joined forces with the Rogue Cultivators, who overwhelmed the weakened Land Carrier forces.
• Chu Fei gave the Lord of Blazing Flame thirty Rebirth Potions and noticed Spring Rain Incense on him; then the Lord of Thunderclap returned and glared at Chu Fei’s group.

After defeating Lord of Thunderclap’s forces, Chu Fei and his allies watched the Rogue Cultivators descend into a deadly struggle over Dragon Gate. Lord of Blazing Flame offered to support their future expedition into The Inland, but as a new battle was about to begin, a powerful dragon’s roar rang out.

• Chu Fei refused to explain how his weapons’ backdoors worked, gave Long Qingqing two Rebirth Potions, and helped Lord of Blazing Flame’s forces retreat from Dragon Gate.
• Lord of Blazing Flame killed seven Rogue Cultivator leaders, then the Rogue Cultivators fought among themselves for the fate needed to enter Dragon Gate.
• Cheng Buyun proposed forming an adventure group to explore The Inland, and Lord of Blazing Flame offered funding and the Blazing Flame Land Carrier’s support in exchange for cooperation.
• Chu Fei asked to study the Blazing Flame Land Carrier’s research materials on Hyper-Dimensional Algorithms and computers, then worked on a new combat platform while everyone recovered.
• Lord of Blazing Flame stood to begin another battle, but a mighty dragon’s roar suddenly rang out.

Chu Fei watched the resurrected Heavenly Dragon devour the Dragon Gates and destroy the Dragon Gate Secret Realm while he secretly relied on a backdoor in the Dragon Pearl. As the realm began collapsing, an armored woman broke through the sky and attacked the dragon, which stopped her with its Dragon Pearl.

• Chu Fei explained to Lord of Blazing Flame and the others how the Dragon People had arranged the Heavenly Dragon's rebirth, and the Heavenly Dragon appeared and demanded that everyone call it Grandpa.
• The Heavenly Dragon injured Lord of Blazing Flame, humiliated Lord of Thunderclap, and devoured the Dragon Gates, absorbing their fortune and life force as the realm's people watched.
• Chu Fei privately told Long Qingqing that he had poisoned the experts with Spring Rain Incense and gave her the antidote, then Cheng Buyun and Zheng Chengan accepted bottles and stood behind him.
• As the Heavenly Dragon consumed the higher-ranked Dragon Gates, its radiance became impossible for most people to see, and the Dragon Gate Secret Realm began to shake and collapse.
• Chu Fei realized the Heavenly Dragon was panicking as it rushed toward the final Dragon Gate, and a blade-like flash split open the sky and struck the dragon.
• An armored woman emerged from the rift and attacked the Heavenly Dragon, but its Dragon Pearl froze her before she broke free and retreated; the dragon then taunted her and threatened to eat her.
