Chapter Summaries

Xu Fan impressed Venerable Qian Ling with his Star Vessel control, then returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect and spent time developing new projects. Zhang Weiyun arrived for a two-day visit before leaving with her master for Ice Extreme Prefecture, and she generously gifted the sect’s disciples, including Xiong Li.

• Xu Fan used Grape’s assistance to defeat the Star Vessel game, prompting Venerable Qian Ling to offer him a position in the Thousand Spirits Sect, which Xu Fan declined.
• Venerable Qian Ling signed a Heaven Dao Contract to borrow Grape’s clone puppet again in three months, and Su Rantian proposed a future Star Vessel partnership with Xu Fan.

• Xu Fan spent the next two days showing Zhang Weiyun around the sect, where she distributed gifts to the disciples and gave Xiong Li a damaged Dao Artifact heavy armor.
• Xu Fan joked that Zhang Weiyun might rally the disciples to rebel after all her gifts, and she replied that he could give up his position as Great Elder.

Zhang Weiyun left the Hidden Spirit Sect, while Xu Fan rescued Xu Yuexian after an Integration Stage Thunder Giant Eagle destroyed her shuttle and trapped her. He warned her to return to the Sect, then questioned Pangolin about an ancient rivalry between its clan and the Thick Armored Honey Badger Clan.

• Pangolin told Xu Fan that the Thick Armored Honey Badger Clan had once gone mad and died fighting human experts after hearing something from a Pangolin Clan Leader, but Pangolin did not know what had been said.

Xu Fan punished the cultivator who stole Xu Yuexian’s Spatial Ring and began a long list of artifact-refining projects. In Heavenly Sword Immortal City, Wang Xiangchi sought a way to enter the Sword Dao Scripture Repository and heard that becoming a teacher could earn him access, but a young information broker called him back before he left.

• Pangolin told Xu Fan about the Dragon Race’s ancient migration, and Xu Fan received Pang Fu’s delivery of Spirit Ores and Exotic Treasures purchased for the sect.
• Xu Yuexian returned after her Spatial Ring was stolen, and Xu Fan spotted signs that part of her memory had been altered and advised her to consult her intelligence contacts.

• Xu Fan began refining a backlog of artifacts, while Wang Xiangchi investigated ways to earn points for the Sword Dao Scripture Repository in Heavenly Sword Immortal City.
• A young information broker explained that Wang Xiangchi could earn Repository access by becoming a teacher at the Heavenly Sword Academy, then called out, “Senior, please stay.”

Wang Xiangchi became a teacher at Heavenly Sword Academy’s Profound-Level Class B and tested his students’ resolve, discovering Jian Wuji and Han Feiyu. After they entered enlightenment, Xu Fan advised Wang Xiangchi to form a good connection with them but leave their futures to fate.

• A young boy told Wang Xiangchi about Jian Wuji, a gifted student whose ailing mother kept him from joining a major sect, and Wang Xiangchi decided to teach at Heavenly Sword Academy.
• Wang Xiangchi accepted a three-year teaching contract and chose Profound-Level Class B, where he challenged fifty students to maintain a sword stance for an hour and offered a Spiritual Sword to the last one standing.
• As the students fell one by one, Jian Wuji and the ordinary-looking Han Feiyu remained, and Wang Xiangchi explained the sword intent of Resilience to them.
• Wang Xiangchi sent Xu Fan an image of the two students entering enlightenment and asked whether he should bring them into the Hidden Spirit Sect; Xu Fan told him to form good karma and let fate decide.
• Jian Wuji and Han Feiyu released unyielding sword intents, then both collapsed from exhaustion.

Wang Xiangchi rewarded Han Feiyu and Jian Wuji while Xu Fan investigated a Heavenly Gestation Beast and stored the sealed Dragon Egg it had left behind. Ning Dao received his new Dao Artifact Spirit Sword and sought a chance to fight, while Feng Changning planned an empire where Mortals and Cultivators could coexist.

• Wang Xiangchi gave Jian Wuji's mother Moon Dew Water and later presented Han Feiyu and Jian Wuji with matching Spiritual Swords for tying for first place.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiangchi prepared a dangerous lesson for his students, and Feng Changning arrived to seek Xu Fan’s help developing an island in the Endless Sea.

Xu Fan overcame the backlash from refining a Dao Artifact and agreed to finance Feng Changning’s plan to establish a Mortal-Immortal Coexistence Dynasty. After sending her off with supplies and a Dao Artifact, he set out to inspect the Protagonist’s Golden Finger.

• Shi Zhan told Feng Changning that his cultivation had advanced at the Hidden Spirit Sect, and he offered to show her interesting places while they waited to meet the Great Elder.
• Xu Fan reached the threshold of the Golden Core Stage while refining the two Grape younger brothers, but the miraculous power withdrew without causing him backlash.

• Xu Fan and Feng Changning signed a Heavenly Dao Contract, and he provided her with No.2 Grape, puppets, weapons, armor, cultivation resources, and access to a Merchant Guild branch.
• Feng Changning departed to establish her sect, while Xu Fan told Grape to watch the house and set out to see the Protagonist’s Golden Finger.

Xu Fan secretly visited Heavenly Sword Academy to study the Immortal Script on Han Feiyu’s Jade Gourd, then returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect to comprehend it. Han Feiyu sensed a theft, and after the academy’s Treasure Vault was robbed, Wang Xiangchi contacted Xu Yuexian about her stolen Spatial Ring.

• Xu Fan traveled to Heavenly Sword Immortal City with Wang Xiangchi and secretly entered Han Feiyu’s dormitory to inspect the Jade Gourd.

• Wang Xiangchi contacted Xu Yuexian, who left the sect ruins and vowed to punish whoever had stolen her Spatial Ring.

Venerable Yu Jun’s reckless piloting helped bring down a Human Race Star Vessel near Hidden Spirit Sect, where Xu Fan and his puppets safely caught it. After meeting Xu Fan, Yu Jun asked him to create a puppet with enough computing power to pilot a Star Vessel, an idea tied to Xu Fan’s ongoing work on the Grape Clone.

• As the Two Realms’ Heavenly Dao wills began to merge, Xingling rejected the Golden Winged Great Peng’s wager and sent ten Star Vessels to face ten Demon Race Giant Beast Warships.
• Venerable Yu Jun joined Venerable Zuoshi aboard a Star Vessel, but Yu Jun’s interference contributed to the vessel being wrecked during the battle.
• Xu Fan used the Luo Water Array and a water-made jade hand to catch the falling Star Vessel and set it down safely near Hidden Spirit Sect.
• Venerable Zuoshi and Venerable Yu Jun met Xu Fan and Xu Gang, and Zuoshi took the Star Vessel crew back toward Linsen Immortal City.
• Yu Jun stayed at Hidden Spirit Sect to question Xu Fan about puppets and asked him to refine one with enough computing power to pilot a Star Vessel.

Xu Fan rejected Venerable Yu Jun’s impossibly advanced Dao Artifact Puppet design, then helped Xu Gang comprehend the Fire Origin. Jian Wuji won the Battle Royale Game, while Xu Yuexian confronted the thief Zheng Feng, who attacked after she demanded tenfold compensation.

• Venerable Yu Jun gave Xu Fan a Dao Artifact Puppet design, but Xu Fan said he lacked the cultivation to refine it, and the Jade Slip vanished after Yu Jun departed.

• Zheng Feng attacked Xu Yuexian, but her Void Refining Puppet shielded her while a Heavy Armor Puppet blocked another strike.

Xu Yuexian tricked Zheng Feng into surrendering his stolen treasures, then used the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Demon Suppressing Star to capture him and claim his bounty. After settling the costs with Grape, Xiong Li returned to the Sect while Xu Fan continued studying Immortal Script and considered refining another Time Cabin.

• Xu Yuexian negotiated with Zheng Feng, swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, and received her belongings along with treasures worth more than ten times their value.
• Xiong Li brought Xu Yuexian a Talisman from Grape, and Zheng Feng read its embarrassing incantation to dispel the foul odor and Karma Mark.
• Zheng Feng stole Xu Yuexian’s Spatial Ring and tried to escape, but Xu Yuexian and Xiong Li used the Demon Suppressing Star to incapacitate him and strip him of his treasures.
• Xu Yuexian gave Xiong Li his Spatial Ring and Metal Origin, then handed Zheng Feng over to the Heavenly Net Hall supervisor for a bounty of five hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones.
• Xu Yuexian paid Grape two hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones for deploying the Demon Suppressing Star and its shot, and told Xiong Li she would suggest refining another Grape.
• On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan practiced a Time Attribute Immortal Script and realized he could refine a Dao Artifact-level Time Cabin after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Xu Fan arranged cultivation and safeguards for the Five Spirit Bright Monkeys, while Feng Changning used Little Ling and her satellites to choose a site for a new sect. The chapter left Feng Changning preparing to establish the sect after Little Ling’s puppets cleared a pack of Flame Wolves and processed their remains.

• Xu Fan learned that Xu Yuexian had sold Zheng Feng to the Heavenly Net Hall, but decided not to investigate their lingering karmic bond further.
• Xu Fan gave the three Five Spirit Bright Monkeys cultivation methods that would let him control their bodies in battle, then confined them to Satellite Island with Little Red Flowers as a warning.

• Feng Changning released satellites over a remote island, and Little Ling identified a mountain range as the best site for a sect.
• Little Ling’s puppets slaughtered more than a thousand Flame Wolves without taking damage, then began methodically dismantling their corpses.

Xu Fan completed the Nine Dragon Swallowing Heaven Great Array, transforming the Hidden Spirit Sect’s spiritual energy and allowing its power to rival an ordinary Holy Land. The array also strengthened Xiong Li’s Golden Core phenomenon, and Xu Fan ended the chapter resting after extending spiritual energy to the Outer Sect and Satellite Islands.

• Feng Changning named her new Sect Nine Phoenix Pavilion and chose its dark-blue architectural style while Little Ling directed one hundred thousand Golden Core Stage Puppets.
• Xu Fan completed the Dao Artifact Spirit Swallowing Pearl and ordered Clone Number Two to install it as the core of the Nine Spirit Swallowing Heaven Great Array.
• Clone Number Two activated the upgraded array, and nine dragons appeared as the Sect’s spiritual energy grew far purer and denser.
• Xiong Li’s Golden Core breakthrough produced an unstable Giant Spirit God phenomenon, so the Metal Dragon reinforced it with its power.
• Ning Dao recalled that the array’s condensed spiritual-energy beasts could eventually yield elemental Origins, while Su Rantian asked Xu Fan to sell her an array.
• Xu Fan sent spiritual energy to Outer Sect Island and Satellite Island, then relaxed in a pavilion on Hidden Spirit Main Peak.

Xu Fan sent Xiong Li out to train for ten years, but arranged for his first stop to be the Desire Immortal Pavilion while secretly watching his arrival. As Xiong Li was dragged inside, Xu Fan learned from Li Xuandao that master artifact refiners who ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds may be claimed by powerful Immortal Sects.

• Xu Fan ordered Xiong Li to leave the sect for ten years, gave him travel funds and Magic Treasures, and told him to reach the Void Refining Stage before expecting to contribute to the sect.
• Xiong Li accepted gifts from his fellow disciples and flew toward Linsen Immortal City, where the sect's itinerary directed him to the Desire Immortal Pavilion in Joyful Union Immortal City.
• A woman escorted Xiong Li to the Desire Immortal Pavilion, where three women wrapped around him and dragged him inside as Xu Fan watched through a live broadcast.
• Li Xuandao visited Xu Fan, and the two discussed the standing of Artifact Refiners in the Great Thousand Worlds and why the Heavenly Dao guided master craftsmen to ascend.
• Li Xuandao warned Xu Fan that Immortal Sects might claim ascending artifact refiners and control their fate, so Xu Fan decided against seeking that route without considering its cost.

Xu Fan accepted Li Xuandao’s plan to offer him his Immortal Script insights and agreed to help locate treasures Li Xuandao needed to rebuild his aptitude. Elsewhere, Xu Yuexian continued baiting Zheng Feng, while Xiong Li left a massage parlor dissatisfied after his body-refining ability made the treatment ineffective.

• Li Xuandao promised to pass his Immortal Script insights to Xu Fan after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage and asked permission to leave for about a hundred years to seek treasures for recultivation.

• Xiong Li left the pavilion lamenting the Spirit Stones he had spent for an ineffective massage.

Xiong Li investigated Demon Race threats and discovered that the Myriad Affairs Pavilion knew his hidden identity, while Xu Fan reflected on concealing the Sect’s disciples’ fate. At Heavenly Sword Academy’s graduation competition, Wang Xiangchi prepared his students, then sensed someone watching from above.

• Xiong Li bought information on sixteen Immortal Cities threatened by the Demon Race and paid the Myriad Affairs Pavilion to reveal his identity.
• After Xiong Li’s Spatial Ring was mysteriously swapped, a Hidden Spirit Merchant Guild Manager brought him a replacement.
• Xu Fan considered the Myriad Affairs Pavilion’s ability to uncover information and said that concealing the Sect’s fate would become easier after he advanced and remodeled Hidden Spirit Island.
• Wang Xiangchi encouraged his students before Heavenly Sword Academy’s annual competition and gave them Jade Tokens and Sword of Wind Riding projections to help them reach their grounds.
• Wang Xiangchi sensed someone’s gaze from the sky and sent a heart sword toward the heavens.

Xiong Li and Xu Yuexian returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect after a thief repeatedly stole their Spatial Rings, prompting Xu Fan to investigate theft spells. Meanwhile, the Demon Race breached Heavenly Sword Immortal City, and Wang Xiangchi fled with his students before turning to face their pursuers.

• Xiong Li traveled to Evergreen Immortal City to hunt Demon Race members, met Xu Yuexian, and followed her advice to go to Xuanjin Immortal City for help with his missions.
• Zheng Feng stole Xu Yuexian’s and Xiong Li’s Spatial Rings again, and the two returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect, where Xu Fan began studying theft spells.

• Wang Xiangchi gathered his students into his Traveling Palace and killed one of three pursuing Spirit Transformation Stage Dog Demons while wounding the other two.
• A Void Refining Stage Demon Race member and Spirit Transformation Stage reinforcements moved toward Wang Xiangchi, while a Reincarnation Slave arrived at Heavenly Sword Immortal City.

Wang Xiangchi escaped an Integration Stage demon by entering the Azure Sword Sect ruins, where his students began the Sect’s Entry Assessment and faced the Nine Great Sword Dao inheritances. Xu Fan rescued the students after the demons hunting Wang Xiangchi were destroyed, then identified the Azure Sword Sect as an ancient powerhouse with a complete Nine Great Sword Dao inheritance.

• An Integration Stage dog demon pursued Wang Xiangchi, while Xu Fan took control of the Five Spirit Bright Monkey and sent it to help protect his disciple.
• Wang Xiangchi was caught in the Azure Sword Sect ruins and learned that only those below the Foundation Establishment Stage could take the Entry Assessment, so he released his students and urged them to climb the Jade Steps.
• Jian Wuji led the students up the Sword Body Path, while the Nine Great Sword Dao phantoms tempted Wang Xiangchi until one of Xu Fan’s Jade Tokens cleared his mind.
• Xu Fan killed the dog demons waiting outside the ruins, and Wang Xiangchi and the students later emerged safely as the Demon Race withdrew from Heavenly Sword Immortal City.
• Xu Fan learned about the Azure Sword Sect’s assessment and found records identifying it as one of the ten great Sword Cultivator Sects, once possessing nine Immortal Swords and their corresponding inheritances.

Wang Xiangchi helped Han Feiyu set out on his own after accepting him as a disciple, while the Hidden Spirit Sect welcomed Murong Qian'er’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. Xu Fan then discovered that someone had probed his dream, as the Elder Council and Demon Race escalated their conflict in the Extreme Sky Domain.

• Wang Xiangchi gave Han Feiyu the Five Elements Sutra and 1,000,000 Spirit Stones, then accepted him as his disciple before Han Feiyu departed to travel the Cultivation World.
• Xu Fan and Wang Xiangchi learned from Li Xuandao that Han Feiyu’s crystal was Mid-Grade Immortal Jade, but the Dragon Egg absorbed it before either could keep it.
• Wang Xiangchi resolved to enter seclusion to comprehend the Sword Dao, while Xu Fan helped Murong Qian'er advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.
• Wang Yulun told Xu Fan he planned to visit his daughter Ling'er with Murong Qian'er once her cultivation stabilized, and the two spent the evening drinking together.
• Xu Fan dreamed of living an ordinary life with his parents and a woman resembling Zhang Weiyun, then discovered through the System Log that someone had probed his dream.
• The Elder Council’s Star-eyed Youth ordered attacks on Demon Race holy cities, while the Golden Winged Great Peng sent ten Heavy Armored Beasts through the Two Realms Passage and both sides deployed fleets in the Extreme Sky Domain.
