Chapter Summaries

Xu Fan learned that Luosheng knew of secret realms that could provide a cheap route to the Star Moon Immortal Realm, then accepted him as a Hidden Spirit Sect elder after Luosheng bound himself to a new body. Luosheng met several sect members and recognized Xing as a Chaos Beast, leaving her surprised by her heritage and asking why her parents had abandoned her.

• Luosheng told Xu Fan about six dual-void Immortal Spirit Secret Realms, including one that could take the sect near the Star Moon Immortal Realm.
• Xu Fan offered Luosheng an elder position on the condition that he unite his spirit and flesh with his new body, and Luosheng agreed.

• Xing wondered aloud why her parents had abandoned her, and Xu Fan raised a cup to welcome Luosheng to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Xu Fan recovered and began repairing the Peach Blossom Spring Map, then traveled with Luosheng to an Immortal Spirit Secret Realm. After entering the vast realm, Xu Fan admired its rich Immortal Spirit Qi and learned that Grand Unity Saints sometimes used it as a passage.

• Hidden Spirit Island searched the sea for three months before its Puppets found the fragments of Luosheng’s Peach Blossom Spring Map.
• Xu Fan reassembled the fragments and began repairing the map with Spirit Silk Threads, revealing to Luosheng that he was a Great Grandmaster in Artifact Refining and an amateur Great Grandmaster in Array Formations.
• Luosheng asked Xu Fan to refine an Acquired Spirit Treasure for him after he became a Golden Immortal, and Xu Fan told him to perform well in the Sect.

• Luosheng opened and widened the realm’s gate, allowing Hidden Spirit Island to enter a vast world where he explained that Grand Unity Saints sometimes used the realm to teleport elsewhere.

Xu Fan traveled with Hidden Spirit Island to the Star North Immortal Realm, where he bought materials for repairing the Peach Blossom Spring Map and learned about the Human Artifact Refining Alliance as a way to earn Immortal Jade.

• Xu Fan tasked Clones No. 1 and No. 2 with repairing the damaged Peach Blossom Spring Map and earning twenty million Immortal Jade as expert artifact refiners.
• Luosheng explained that the Myriad Things Tree held primordial Origin Essence and advised Xu Fan that high-grade Time Treasures could be found in the outer regions of the Immortal World.

• Hidden Spirit Island reached the Star Moon Immortal Realm, settled east of Gold Artifact City, and began expanding its surroundings under Xu Fan's direction.
• Clones No. 1 and No. 2 named themselves Xu Yang and Xu Huang, then traveled to Star Moon City to get certified at the Artifact Refiners' Alliance.
• Xu Huang suggested that Xu Yang seek certification first so people would not connect the two clones.

Clones No. 1 and No. 2 earned fame and lucrative commissions as Heaven Grade Great Grandmasters in Artifact Refining and Array Formations in Star Moon City. Meanwhile, Xu Fan created the Three Thousand Dao Methods, and many Hidden Spirit Island disciples awakened and advanced to Quasi-Immortals.

• Clone No. 1 earned Heaven Grade Great Grandmaster certification in Artifact Refining after forging a Sword of Sacred Thunder, and word of his Array Formation skill spread through Star Moon City.
• Clone No. 2 also gained Heaven Grade Great Grandmaster recognition, and the two clones accepted increasingly valuable artifact-refining orders while refusing to meet clients or join factions.
• Xu Fan finished creating the Three Thousand Dao Methods, which Zhang Xueling treasured but could not bring himself to cultivate.
• Xu Fan saw that half of Hidden Spirit Island's disciples had awakened from enlightenment, and nearly half of those had become Quasi-Immortals.

• Wang Yulun fished up a Heavenly Illusion Pearl bearing the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty's insignia, and Luosheng offered to guide him there.
• Wang Yulun gave Xu Fan several Spatial Rings to inspect and asked him to guide Wang Xiangchi, and Xu Fan promised to teach his disciple carefully.

Xu Fan set a spending limit for his indulgent clones, then heard Guardian True Immortal Shang Ling ask the Hidden Spirit Sect to recruit disciples in Gold Artifact City. Shang Ling offered the sect exclusive recruiting rights for a thousand years, and Xu Fan asked how many disciples he should take.

• Xu Fan took control of Clone No. 1 and limited each clone to spending ten thousand Immortal Jade after completing a job.
• Xu Fan reviewed the clones’ memories, admired an Immortal Dance, and learned that True Immortal Shang Ling had come to visit.
• Shang Ling described how Gold Artifact City's decline had deprived many children of access to sects, cultivation methods, and resources.
• Xu Fan pointed out that other sects already recruited in Gold Artifact City, so Shang Ling offered the Hidden Spirit Sect exclusive recruiting rights there for a thousand years.
• Xu Fan asked Shang Ling how many disciples the sect should recruit, and Shang Ling answered that tens of millions were not too few and hundreds of millions were not too many.

Xu Fan planned a large-scale recruitment drive for Hidden Spirit Sect in the Immortal World and settled on taking in fifty million disciples. He sent more than ten thousand sect disciples to recruit gifted children across nearby Mortal nations, while worrying about the cost in Immortal Jade.

• Shang Ling urged Xu Fan to recruit many disciples, explaining that Guardian True Immortals faced thousand-year assessments and that his own target depended on Hidden Spirit Sect.
• After consulting Grape, Xu Fan initially chose to recruit thirty million disciples and ordered an expansion of Outer Sect Island and the creation of a teaching illusion realm.

• Li Xingci returned from building the sect's intelligence network and persuaded Xu Fan that recruiting fifty million disciples could improve the chance of nurturing a Golden Immortal.
• Three months later, Xu Fan sent more than ten thousand disciples to recruit gifted children aged three to sixteen, then fretted that he lacked enough Immortal Jade to reward them.

Xiong Li exposed Gold Artifact City's factions for sabotaging the Hidden Spirit Sect's recruitment and challenged them to a fight over the rejected children. Xu Fan agreed to witness the contest and made Xiong Li's victory a condition for accepting the factions' demands.

• Xiong Li arrived in Gold Artifact City and opened two teleportation gates for children to take the Hidden Spirit Sect's disciple test.
• Grape told Xiong Li that the city's factions had arranged for the first children to fail as part of a plot against the Hidden Spirit Sect.
• Xiong Li confronted the Xiao Clan and accused the factions of plotting to steal cultivation methods, seduce the Chief Disciple, gather intelligence, and seize the Sect's Immortal Ship.
• Shang Ling turned against the factions, while their representatives released their Auras and then recoiled in terror at a presence from the Hidden Spirit Sect.
• A faction representative demanded that Xiong Li admit the rejected children to the Inner Sect, and Xiong Li challenged the factions to defeat him in a fight.
• Xu Fan agreed to witness the contest and declared that Xiong Li's defeat would be the condition for accepting the factions' demands.

Xiong Li confronted the Clans plotting against the Hidden Spirit Sect and crushed their representatives in battle. After killing the Xiao Clan head, he called for the next challenger while the remaining clan heads considered retreating.

• Xiong Li led the Clan representatives to a mountain range and challenged them to test his strength before a Guardian True Immortal.
• Xiong Li killed a peak True Immortal representative with one hammer strike, but the representatives tried to concede and promised to apologize later.

• The Xiao Clan head transformed into a Golden Crow and initially pressed Xiong Li, but Xiong Li endured the assault and seized the bird by its head.
• Xiong Li crushed the Xiao Clan head's head and called for the next challenger as the other Clan heads began considering retreat.

• Xiong Li challenged the clan heads and family representatives to attack him together inside the Array Formation.
• Xiong Li endured their attacks, grew stronger in battle, and killed four opponents while forcing the others to use their strongest abilities.
• Xiong Li invoked “Transform the body into a world, imprison Myriad Spirits,” trapping the remaining enemies in a Minor World and crushing it to kill them.
• Xiong Li asked Shang Ling to deal with the three absent clan heads, then took Elixirs and departed by Spirit Boat to maintain order.
• Shang Ling decided to give thirty percent of the clans’ assets to himself and seventy percent to the Hidden Spirit Sect, while Xu Gang asked Grape to arrange more missions like this.

• Qianwan Bing praised Xiong Li's battle, and Xiong Li noticed Wu Gang collapse from hunger in the admissions line.
• Xiong Li gave Wu Gang Bamboo Forest Water and beef jerky, promised him a filling meal, and told him to call him Eldest Senior Brother.
• Xu Fan learned that eighty million children had passed the first examination and ordered the number of academies increased to two hundred, with the Inner Sect examination set for fifty years later.
• Grape's Puppets welcomed arriving children, issued them Sect rings, and sent them through Teleportation Arrays to randomly assigned academies.
• Xu Fan learned that seventy-two children had special cultivation physiques and ordered them distributed evenly among the academies for future competitions.

• Xu Fan remembered that he had not opened the Blind Boxes Good Brother gave him and wondered whether their benefit had arrived.

Xu Fan opened the Blind Boxes, finding valuable Immortal Ore and artifacts while sealing away a dangerous tiger tally. He became absorbed in deciphering the final Space Immortal Artifact for a year as Wu Gang and the new disciples settled into sect life ahead of the inter-Academy competition.

• Xu Fan opened the Spatial Rings and found a Dragon Quelling Tower, a high-grade Space Mount Immortal Artifact, and other treasures.

• Xu Fan struggled to break the formation on the final Space Immortal Artifact, remaining focused on it for a year.
• The eighty-three million new disciples adapted to the Hidden Spirit Sect, and Wu Gang resolved to win first place for Dean Xiong Li in the upcoming inter-Academy competition.

Wu Gang’s Ten-Thousand-Jin Physique had left his family impoverished, but he was accepted into the Hidden Spirit Sect and found a home there. After Xu Fan learned that Wu Gang might be unable to become an immortal, he summoned him to take a look.

• Wu Gang’s parents spent their savings seeking a sect that would accept him, but his appetite and the limits of his physique left the family struggling to support him.

• Xiong Li brought Wu Gang a bottle of elixirs and a Jade Disc containing the Cultivation Method Xu Fan had deduced for him.

• Han Feiyu awakened, advanced to Quasi-Immortal, and appeared before Wang Xiangchi, whom he recognized as his returned Master.

Xu Fan designed and tested a prototype Sacred Lightning Cannon that absorbed astral winds and Sacred Sun Power, then arranged a live-fire test to measure its strength. Xiong Li prepared to face its first shot with an Immortal Artifact Giant Shield.

• Xu Fan congratulated Han Feiyu and his fellow disciples on reaching Quasi-Immortal, then told them to consolidate their cultivation and have Han Feiyu teach Sword Dao at the Academy.
• Xu Fan designed a spherical Sacred Lightning Cannon and ordered Grape to produce ten thousand units, with No. 1 and No. 2 to handle the core components when they returned.

• Grape assigned Xiong Li to test the cannon, and he accepted an Immortal Artifact Giant Shield before taking his position beneath the weapon.
• Xiong Li activated the Five-Element Chaos Golden Body and braced behind his shield as Grape began the firing countdown.
