Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei tested the Ascending Dragon Hall’s weapons against Nanyang Tianwu’s forces, overwhelming the Immortal Cultivators and trapping their Tribulation Transcending Master. He offered Nanyang Tianwu a one-on-one fight, and Nanyang Tianwu accepted, believing he could defeat Chu Fei and escape.

• Chu Fei observed Nanyang Tianwu’s weakened forces and attacked their formation with the flying ship’s weapons and fighter jets.
• The Ascending Dragon Hall’s forces surrounded the Immortal Cultivators, killing many and exhausting the survivors until more than a hundred surrendered.
• Nanyang Tianwu’s Great Teleportation Talisman failed, and the Heavenly Net Umbrella protecting him and the remaining fighters shattered.
• Chu Fei approached Nanyang Tianwu alone and offered to let him go if he won their one-on-one fight.
• Nanyang Tianwu accepted, convinced that his Tribulation Transcending Stage gave him a decisive advantage over Chu Fei.

Chu Fei fought Nanyang Tianwu, a weakened Tribulation Transcending Immortal Cultivator, and adapted to his powerful sword attacks, talismans, and techniques. Chu Fei ultimately severed Nanyang Tianwu’s connection to heaven and earth, captured him, and awaited the approaching spacecraft while reflecting on how close he had come to defeat.

• Nanyang Tianwu attacked Chu Fei with his Flying Sword, but Chu Fei trapped it in Nanofluid Metal and analyzed its structure.
• Nanyang Tianwu used formations, talismans, sword techniques, and lightning against Chu Fei, while Chu Fei countered with technology and split his body to evade attacks.
• Chu Fei used Big Data Deletion to disrupt Nanyang Tianwu’s True Essence, then deployed fine structures that severed Nanyang Tianwu’s unity with heaven and earth.
• Nanyang Tianwu detonated his Flying Sword and launched another assault, but Chu Fei’s layered cages restrained him and a Nanofluid Metal hammer knocked him unconscious.
• Chu Fei captured Nanyang Tianwu, reunited his divided body, and waited for the spacecraft while recognizing how close the fight had come to defeat.

Chu Fei interrogated the captured Tribulation Transcending Master Nanyang Tianwu and learned that three major Immortal Cultivation factions had secretly placed a bounty on Ascending Dragon Hall personnel. After discovering Nanyang Tianwu had prepared a possible resurrection method, Chu Fei sought a way to seal him and reflected that he, too, was greedy and cowardly.

• Chu Fei brought Nanyang Tianwu aboard the vessel, where Ascending Dragon Hall restrained and interrogated him with sensory attacks and repeated questioning until he confessed.
• Chu Fei reviewed his battle with Nanyang Tianwu and discussed resurrection methods, the Elf Race’s possible relocation, and Ascending Dragon Hall’s agreements with Liliyat.
• After days of interrogation, Nanyang Tianwu revealed that Heavenly Gate Sect, Hundred Refinements Pavilion, and Colorful Cloud Heaven had jointly issued black-market bounties targeting Ascending Dragon Hall technology and personnel.
• Chu Fei considered whether to kill Nanyang Tianwu, then ordered an investigation into possible resurrection methods; the investigators found evidence that Nanyang Tianwu had split his spirit.
• Chu Fei contacted Sima Tianpeng to ask discreetly about sealing Tribulation Transcending Masters, then admitted to himself that he was also greedy and cowardly.

Chu Fei returned to Ascending Dragon Hall, pursued a way to control powerful prisoners, and reviewed the Hall’s industrial and scientific research as it prepared to relocate. When Jin Tierong summoned him over an enormous ruin and the Dragon Race’s response to the ambush, Chu Fei became interested in the opportunity and its implications for the coming world war.

• Chu Fei rejected the Dragon Race’s exorbitant offer for a True God sealing method and told Sima Tianpeng to delay negotiations while Ascending Dragon Hall sought its own solution.
• Chu Fei experimented on a Return to Truth Stage prisoner to imprint his primordial spirit, but the experiments collapsed the prisoner’s primordial spirit, and Chu Fei killed him.
• Chu Fei arrived at Ascending Dragon Hall and learned that crucial materials for cultivation research had been destroyed; he then inspected Crescent Technology Group’s metal and prefabricated Dharma Treasure production.
• Chu Fei redirected the Quantum Computer researchers toward photonic quantum research and ordered plans for a mobile supercomputing center to help derive higher-level cultivation techniques.
• After more than a year of work, Chu Fei heard from Jin Tierong that an enormous ruin had emerged and that the Dragon Race had responded to the ambush; Chu Fei agreed that the ruin could be worth pursuing.

Chu Fei attended an Ascending Dragon Hall meeting that set plans for a Dark Cloud Zone Continent expedition, negotiations over his ambush, and an armed commercial venture into newly appeared ruins. He led the negotiations at the Golden Scales Trading Center and accused three sects of conspiring against the Dragon Race, leaving the True God-level representatives visibly unsettled.

• Jin Tierong presented plans for relocating Ascending Dragon Hall, and the meeting chose to send a Pioneer Corps to the Dark Cloud Zone Continent to confront Primeval Beasts without hiring the Dragon Race.
• Chu Fei and the leaders agreed to seek compensation for his ambush, negotiate for Heavenly Immortal opportunities, and consider war against the weakened Huayang Sect.
• After reviewing footage of a shattered continent with possible True Immortal remains, Chu Fei proposed selling lighting drones and Energy Crystals, and the meeting approved an armed merchant corps for the ruins.
• Jin Tierong explained that Chu Fei's attack and the ruins expedition could help Ascending Dragon Hall build influence and pursue partners beyond the Dragon Race, so Chu Fei led a delegation to negotiate at the Golden Scales Trading Center.
• At the negotiations, Chu Fei withstood Yun Chuyu's spiritual pressure and introduced himself to Yun Hai, Yun Chuyu, Chiyang Hongxiao, and Qingshan Yun.
• Chu Fei accused the three sects of conspiring to hinder the Dragon Race's efforts against Eerie Worlds, and the True God-level representatives reacted with alarm.

Chu Fei negotiated compensation for the ambush, demonstrated the Ascending Dragon Hall’s Vacuum Energy Bombs, and warned the rival sects against threatening his organization. After the Hall destroyed the Huayang Sect and expanded its operations, Chu Fei reviewed the Heavenly Immortal inheritance ruins and decided to investigate their half-awakened Resurrection Golden Body.

• Chu Fei secured an agreement that gave the Ascending Dragon Hall research access to the inheritance site, the first inheritance opportunity, and a share of the remaining opportunities.
• Chu Fei showed Yun Hai, Qingshan Yun, Chiyang Hongxiao, and Yun Chuyu a Vacuum Energy Bomb’s destructive power and warned that the Ascending Dragon Hall could destroy the world if cornered.
• Chu Fei returned to the Ascending Dragon Hall, where plans advanced for a war against the Huayang Sect, sales on the Ruins Continent, and research at the inheritance site.
• Chu Fei reviewed progress on the Computational Power Spaceship and Photonic Quantum Chip, then cooperated with the Ascending Dragon Hall to develop the chip’s industrial chain.
• The Ascending Dragon Hall’s army destroyed the Huayang Sect with Vacuum Energy Bombs, while the Hall earned a reputation and profited by selling equipment on the Ruins Continent.
• Chu Fei examined virtual records of the inheritance ruins, saw the severely damaged Resurrection Golden Body of a Heavenly Immortal, and proposed using science and technology to help repair it.

Chu Fei led a huge Ascending Dragon Hall expedition to the Silver Sea Zone Continent to study the Heavenly Immortal Legacy Ruins and its Resurrection Golden Body. After establishing a research base and opening trade with the three guarding sects, the Ascending Dragon Hall began exchanging technology, goods, and cultivation materials with them.

• After six months of preparation, Chu Fei led a fleet of researchers, builders, and soldiers to the Silver Sea Zone Continent aboard Wisdom 01.
• Zhou Yuxian explained the continent’s seven sects, their rivalries, and the Resurrection Golden Body ruins guarded by the Heavenly Gate Sect, Hundred Refinements Pavilion, and Colorful Cloud Heaven.
• Chu Fei’s group arrived at the ruins, where fighter jets impressed the sect representatives, and Chu Fei introduced the Ascending Dragon Hall’s delegation to Mingyu, Chiyang Jinfeng, and Lou Qianying.
• Chu Fei sent clones into the ruins to inspect the Resurrection Golden Body and its Essence Refining Immortal Returning Array while he discussed Big Data Cultivation and promoted Chinese to the sect representatives.
• The Ascending Dragon Hall proposed a research base that would operate for at least seven hundred years, and construction and exchanges began with the three sects.
• The three sects bought Ascending Dragon Hall technology and goods while selling seals, formations, and cultivation techniques, opening access to higher-level immortal cultivation materials.

Chu Fei inspected Ascending Dragon Hall’s research bases and pursued a partnership that might provide cultivation methods to advance his research beyond level 19.0. He negotiated with the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, but left the Five Elements Sect as his preferred partner and the Divine Sword Sect as his fallback.

• Chu Fei reviewed his open-ended cultivation method and concluded that studying the Resurrection Golden Body might help him advance beyond 20.0.
• Chu Fei inspected the research bases and saw that experts from the Heavenly Gate Sect, Hundred Refinements Pavilion, and Colorful Cloud Heaven were working and learning Chinese.
• Zhou Yuxian reported that the Five Elements Sect was under pressure because its Tribulation Transcending Stage ancestor, Qingmu Yuanjun, had not appeared for a long time.
• Chu Fei and the senior executives decided to approach both the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, using each negotiation to pressure the other.
• Chu Fei offered Xuanyu Liang the use of Quantum Computers to help deduce cultivation methods, and Xuanyu Liang returned to consult the Five Elements Sect.
• Chu Fei met with Mowen Jin of the Divine Sword Sect, then reaffirmed that the Five Elements Sect was his first choice and the Divine Sword Sect his backup.

Chu Fei demonstrated the Ascending Dragon Hall’s Virtual Space and Quantum Computer to Cheng Fengxue, showing how they could derive cultivation methods and formations far faster than cultivators could. Cheng Fengxue left with a gifted server and the prospect of an expensive collaboration, just as the Five Elements Sect arrived to negotiate.

• Cheng Fengxue visited the Ascending Dragon Hall, and Chu Fei showed him its fusion facilities, laboratories, and Virtual Space.
• Cheng Fengxue tested the Virtual Space’s Nine Palace Number calculations and saw it derive complex Heavenly Net and Earthly Web Formations in minutes instead of years.
• Chu Fei explained the computer’s computing-power fees and offered Cultivation Methods as payment; Cheng Fengxue objected to the cost and proposed sharing the results in exchange for assistance.
• Cheng Fengxue compared his Wind Cloud Movement technique with similar methods in Chu Fei’s database and realized it was worth far less than he had hoped.
• Zhou Yuxian told Chu Fei that the Five Elements Sect’s steward had arrived, and Chu Fei offered Cheng Fengxue a discounted deal and a small Quantum Computer server.
• Cheng Fengxue accepted the gift and left worried that the Divine Sword Sect would have to pay heavily to keep up with the Ascending Dragon Hall.

Chu Fei discovered that the Resurrection Golden Body periodically woke to scan its surroundings, then used the revelation to intensify negotiations among several sects over its research and Quantum Computer access. After two years, he resolved the direction of Big Data Cultivation beyond Cultivation Level 20.0 and prepared to have Tribulation Transcending Stage experts approach the Resurrection Golden Body.

• Chu Fei tasked Zhou Yuxian with negotiating Quantum Computer leases and revising the Computational Power Currency standard.
• Chu Fei analyzed the Resurrection Golden Body’s data and concluded that it periodically awakened to scan its surroundings while pretending to sleep.
• Chu Fei demonstrated his findings to representatives of the Heavenly Gate Sect, Hundred Refinements Pavilion, and Colorful Cloud Heaven, prompting them to investigate the Resurrection Golden Body.
• Chu Fei maneuvered the Five Elements Sect and Divine Sword Sect into the dispute, and after half a year of negotiations, their formation experts gained permission to support the research.
• After two years, Chu Fei identified the direction of Big Data Cultivation as the pursuit of an Omniscient One and approved the bachelor, master, and doctor stages.
• Chu Fei decided to encourage Tribulation Transcending Stage experts to approach the Resurrection Golden Body while he stayed away from it himself.

Chu Fei revealed himself, finalized a lease agreement for his Computational Power Spaceship with the five sects and the Ascending Dragon Hall, and oversaw years of cultivation-method research. After the computer produced hundreds of advanced Return to Truth methods, the group began preparing to deduce Tribulation Transcending Stage methods, while Chu Fei planned to use the effort to investigate the Heavenly Immortal’s Resurrection Golden Body.

• Chu Fei appeared at the research base and hosted representatives from the Heavenly Gate Sect, Hundred Refinements Pavilion, Colorful Cloud Heaven, Five Elements Sect, and Divine Sword Sect as negotiations continued.
• Two months later, Chu Fei and the five sects signed an agreement to lease his Computational Power Spaceship, and the sect leaders toured it and began contributing cultivation methods for appraisal.
• After more than three hundred thousand cultivation methods were entered and assessed, Chu Fei and the assembled masters used the computer to produce increasingly rigorous late and peak Return to Truth methods.
• When the five sects secretly auctioned some contributed methods on the black market, Chu Fei staged a computer shutdown for maintenance and got them to contribute more methods before restarting it.
• Over the next three-plus years, the computer produced more than four hundred Return to Truth methods, and Chu Fei announced that the group would begin deducing Tribulation Transcending Stage methods using Ascending Dragon Hall research data.
• The masters welcomed the final stage of research, while Chu Fei privately intended to use their efforts to study the Heavenly Immortal’s Resurrection Golden Body, potentially through destructive testing.

Over more than twenty years of joint research, Chu Fei studied cultivation systems and concluded that the five sects’ Tribulation Transcending Stage methods were stalled over energy control and the construction of laws. He engineered a break that sent the increasingly desperate experts back to the surface, then reviewed the incomplete methods and tallied the gains from the cooperation.

• Chu Fei analyzed faith, bloodline, and orthodox cultivation systems, concluding that Immortal Cultivators reached higher realms by merging with the Heavenly Dao through countless laws and tribulations.
• The five sects’ experts failed to complete a Tribulation Transcending Stage method despite accelerated research, while Chu Fei kept Ascending Dragon Hall’s relevant solutions to himself.
• Chu Fei suggested a month of maintenance for the spaceship, and more than a hundred red-eyed experts rushed down to the continent as he watched them leave.
• Chu Fei ordered the researchers studying the Resurrection Golden Body to take a lengthy break, stage a disorderly retreat, and hold celebrations, training, and exchange events.
• Chu Fei reviewed the incomplete cultivation methods in Virtual Space and calculated that the cooperation had earned him a profit while also advancing relations between Ascending Dragon Hall and the five major sects.

Chu Fei watched the five sects’ Tribulation Transcending ancestors battle around the Resurrection Golden Body until it awakened and revealed a devastating attack. When the relic’s power faded without providing the cultivation method they wanted, Chu Fei decided Ascending Dragon Hall would offer it limited technical support in exchange for information about a Celestial Immortal.

• Chu Fei let the five sect representatives use the inheritance-ruins equipment in exchange for their research data, while keeping the core technology and components out of reach.
• The ancestors of the five sects staged battles inside the ruins, and their attacks damaged the Essence Refining Immortal Returning Array as the Resurrection Golden Body’s soul-wave grew stronger.
• After Qingmu Yuanjun grabbed the spear in the Resurrection Golden Body’s chest, golden light struck her but failed to overcome her prepared defenses.
• The ancestors abandoned their pretenses, surrounded the Resurrection Golden Body, and provoked it with rockets until it manifested a blurry human figure.
• The Resurrection Golden Body argued with the ancestors over its demands, then lost its aura without giving them a Tribulation Transcending cultivation method.
• Chu Fei agreed to offer the Resurrection Golden Body imitated Immortal Qi and, if necessary, soul-nourishing technology in hopes of obtaining Celestial Immortal information.

Chu Fei used Ascending Dragon Hall’s improved Essence Refining Immortal Returning Array to bargain with the Resurrection Golden Body for advanced cultivation knowledge, while the five sects gained early Tribulation Transcending Stage methods. Qingxuan Shanren offered Chu Fei a chance to gain techniques beyond the Celestial Immortal stage, and Chu Fei decided to accept the risky partnership.

• Chu Fei traded the first knockoff formation for two early Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivation methods, while the five sects’ elders helped explain and record their contents.
• After six months, Ascending Dragon Hall’s researchers incorporated the methods’ principles into their technology and tested a far more efficient second-generation formation.
• Chu Fei had Liu Liyang reduce the formation’s efficiency to make it appear less advanced, then sent the core researchers away before approaching the Resurrection Golden Body with the new version.
• Qingxuan Shanren revealed that advanced cultivation methods carried dangerous ties to powerful sects and offered to pass on his own method only if Chu Fei became his disciple.
• Qingxuan Shanren secretly proposed that Chu Fei become his Dao companion in exchange for techniques beyond the Celestial Immortal stage, and Chu Fei chose to take the gamble.

Chu Fei helped Qingxuan True Monarch break free from her damaged seal, then escaped the inheritance ruins with her shrine as the five sects fought over the released treasures. Aboard his spacecraft, he asked what he would gain from their partnership, and her offer of help toward Dao Integration led him to ask her age.

• Chu Fei and Qingxuan True Monarch swore a true invocation as dao companions, and she revealed that the Resurrection Golden Body was a seal keeping her trapped.
• Qingxuan True Monarch explained how Chu Fei could use the Essence Refining Immortal Returning Array to separate her from the seal without killing her.
• After a month of preparation, Chu Fei detonated the array, and Qingxuan True Monarch emerged while treasures scattered and the five sects clashed over them.
• Chu Fei found Qingxuan True Monarch's shrine in the ruins, secretly collected it, and used the five sects' Vacuum Energy Bomb stockpiles to deter them from stopping his departure.
• Once Chu Fei's group reached their spacecraft, Qingxuan True Monarch offered to help him advance halfway into Dao Integration, and Chu Fei asked how old she was.

Chu Fei learned that Qingxuan True Monarch had become his Dao companion to share his immense fortune, then bargained with her for cultivation knowledge and helped her connect to an experimental virtual network. After returning to Ascending Dragon Hall, he showed her the civilization’s expanding spaceport and reunited with Liliyat, while Qingxuan’s past and future role remained unresolved.

• Qingxuan True Monarch revealed that she had chosen Chu Fei as her Dao companion because he carried a Yuanhui’s worth of fortune, which she had taken in part to escape disaster.
• Qingxuan explained that Chu Fei’s fortune was likely Dao Monarch-level and worth roughly six hundred million years by the Yanhuang Calendar, though accumulated karma would limit how much he could use.
• Chu Fei demanded cultivation techniques, practical methods, guidance, and information about higher worlds in exchange for the fortune Qingxuan had taken; she agreed to consider his request and later recorded what she knew in a blank virtual space.
• Qingxuan told Chu Fei that her recovery required enormous energy and primordial-spirit restoration methods, and he fitted her with an experimental Virtual Helmet that could connect to a network with no accessible content.
• After a month-long voyage, Chu Fei and Qingxuan arrived at Ascending Dragon Hall, where she saw its flourishing spaceport and the dismantled ground facilities being relocated to its new home.
• Wei Yunfan welcomed Chu Fei back and praised the technologies he had sent home, while Chu Fei reunited with Liliyat and brought her to the welcome banquet.

Chu Fei and Wei Yunfan discussed Ascending Dragon Hall’s rapid growth, its plans for the land it was leaving behind, and the Great Migration. After arriving on the New Continent with Liliyat, Chu Fei found that Bai Yingying had come to greet him.

• Chu Fei learned from Wei Yunfan that the Elf Race had joined Ascending Dragon Hall because of its rapid technological and economic development.
• Wei Yunfan explained that Ascending Dragon Hall would auction the lease rights to its old territory through sealed bids, using a countdown display to advertise its precision timekeeping technology.
• Chu Fei reported his breakthrough in researching how Tribulation Transcending Stage Immortal Cultivators constructed laws, then helped reassure the Elf Race that it could follow Ascending Dragon Hall safely.
• After months spent in the old territory, Chu Fei and his research team joined the migration convoy and traveled with Liliyat to the New Continent.
• Chu Fei and Liliyat reached the Dark Cloud Zone Continent and saw Ascending Dragon Hall’s settlement beside the Elf Race’s territory.
• After Chu Fei connected to the local network and Bai Yingying approved his access, she surprised him by appearing in person to greet him at the port.

Chu Fei arrived on New Continent and learned that disputes over cultivation data, photonic quantum computers, and Hadronic Material required his involvement, while Lin Yu’s unexpected arrival raised concerns among Ascending Dragon Hall’s leaders. He agreed to continue cooperating and left the next steps to a meeting, where Lin Yu sought vast computing resources and proposed exploring the Mystic Dragon Domain.

• Ma Longjie briefed Chu Fei on New Continent’s information controls and the disputes over Chu Fei’s destroyed cultivation research data, Crescent Technology Group’s photonic quantum breakthrough, and his Hadronic Material patents.
• Bai Yingying asked Chu Fei for technical help, and he agreed to discuss cooperation while signaling that they would need to settle their accounts clearly.
• Jin Tierong and Bai Yingying discussed how Ascending Dragon Hall had damaged Chu Fei’s trust and agreed that the research team needed to take practical steps to address the conflict.
• Bai Yingying told Jin Tierong that Ascending Dragon Hall’s new post-20.0 cultivation technique performed worse than Chu Fei’s older research, leaving the True God Project at an impasse.
• Chu Fei reached Crescent Technology Group’s headquarters with Liliyat and reunited with Lin Yu, who asked for a million Photonic Quantum Chips and proposed an unmanned legion to explore the Mystic Dragon Domain.
• Chu Fei declined to promise Lin Yu the chips and called a meeting to discuss development plans, while warning her that her survivability remained limited.

Chu Fei learned the Faith-Based God Cultivation hierarchy from Qingxuan True Monarch, then chaired a Crescent Technology Group meeting to review its industrial growth and core research. He left Liliyat at her residence and toured his industries before beginning technical exchanges.

• Chu Fei asked Qingxuan True Monarch about Faith-Based God Cultivation, and she compared its ranks with Immortal Cultivation while explaining world creation and Unity with the Dao.
• Chu Fei brought Liliyat to Crescent Technology Group's meeting, where department heads reported the group's expanding production and industrial capabilities.
• Liliyat heard that Crescent Technology Group planned vast production of metals, warships, chips, weapons, and Vacuum Energy Bombs, and she recognized the scale of Ascending Dragon Hall's power.
• Zhao Hongyue, Zhou Yanbang, and Wang Guoliang reported on Hadronic Materials and quantum chips, while Chu Fei guided their research plans and approved licensing older chip technology.
• Ma Longjie reported on cultivation method research and anti-corruption efforts, and Chu Fei joined the cultivation research project and rewarded selected staff.
• Chu Fei left Liliyat at their residence, toured his industries, and proceeded to technical exchanges.

Chu Fei helped the Ascending Dragon Hall restrict cultivation, advance its technology, and resolve a flaw in its 20.0 cultivation technique with a virtual platform. The breakthrough promised thirty thousand new True God-level experts, and Chu Fei proposed calling Hall Master Sima back for further training.

• Chu Fei toured his industries, arranged a formal exchange with the Ascending Dragon Hall, and urged its leaders to unite as Yanhuang Civilization against outside threats.
• Chu Fei argued that the Ascending Dragon Hall should restrict Immortal Cultivation and prioritize Big Data Cultivation, and the leaders developed regulations to manage cultivation.
• Qingxuan True Monarch moved into her mansion to recover while researchers improved the Essence Refining Immortal Returning Array and advanced related Life Energy and Immortal Qi studies.
• Chu Fei and Lin Yu helped the Ascending Dragon Hall accelerate research and development as its machine armies pushed back the Primeval Beasts.
• After more than thirty years of research, Chu Fei found that Bai Yingying and the others' 20.0 cultivation technique was too fragmented and proposed using virtual technology to unify its components.
• The research team built and tested a 20.0 virtual platform, enabling a breakthrough that could turn thirty thousand late-stage 19.0 experts into True God-level experts; Chu Fei and Bai Yingying agreed to discuss recalling Hall Master Sima for further training with Jin Tierong.
