Chapter Summary: Late Tribulation Transcendence and Immortality

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Analyzing the devastation: Fairy Xiao (a demon race cultivator) and Marquis Heaven Origin (a human cultivator) investigate an area where an entire space has been reduced to primordial chaos (Hundun). They deduce that only an immortal cultivator at the late Tribulation Transcendence Stage could destroy the Laws of Heaven and Earth to such an extent.
• Ruling out suspects: They consider whether Nailong True Person could be responsible, but Fairy Xiao rules him out based on differing spiritual power imprints. They remain puzzled as to who fought there, since supreme existences rarely cross realms casually.
• Discovery of True Spirit Blood: The woman's spirit bird—which inherited the bloodlines of two True Spirits—reacts excitedly and fearfully toward a direction within the chaos space, sensing True Spirit Blood.
• Rushing to claim the treasure: Both experts immediately fly into the chaotic space to seize the treasure, as True Spirit Blood is something that can move the hearts of even Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.
• The split find: After a brief struggle, Fairy Xiao obtains half of a mysterious treasure—half a lump of earth—while Marquis Heaven Origin takes the other half. Both are delighted yet regretful, as each only managed to secure half.

2. Character Developments

• Marquis Heaven Origin: Portrayed as analytical and methodical, he adds his insights to the investigation. His excitement upon obtaining the half-lump of earth reveals his ambition and desire for powerful resources despite being a supreme expert already.
• Fairy Xiao: Sharp-tongued and decisive, she demonstrates knowledge of spiritual power imprints. She transforms into a black phoenix (not a pure Heavenly Phoenix form, indicating diluted bloodline). Her reactions show she is fiercely competitive and covetous of the treasure.
• Both characters: Their envy of late Tribulation Transcendence experts is highlighted—they are at the early stage and lament the vast gap in lifespan and power between the two sub-realms. They recognize that even geniuses rarely advance beyond early Tribulation Transcendence.

3. Significant Themes

• The pursuit of immortality: The chapter explains that one does not need to become a True Immortal to gain eternal life—advancing to late Tribulation Transcendence grants the ability to control the Laws of Heaven and Earth, freeing one from lifespan restrictions and imposing Heavenly Tribulations.
• The immense gap between cultivation stages: Early and late Tribulation Transcendence are described as incomparably different in strength, with late-stage cultivators being "not people that even they could casually see."
• Greed and competition among supreme experts: Even at the highest realms, cultivators remain driven by desire for rare treasures like True Spirit Blood, and will fight each other for such gains.
• The rarity of supreme talent: Countless cultivators pursue immortality, but only a tiny few reach Tribulation Transcendence, and most of those remain stuck at the early stage, ultimately dying under Heavenly Tribulations.

4. Character Interactions

• Cooperative analysis: Fairy Xiao and Marquis Heaven Origin work together to analyze the destroyed space and the battle that occurred there, exchanging observations about Nailong True Person.
• Rivalry: When the True Spirit Blood is sensed, their cooperative dynamic instantly shifts to a competitive race to seize the treasure. The struggle ends with each obtaining half the item, leaving both partially satisfied and partially frustrated.
• Lore shared between them: Marquis Heaven Origin recalls the woman's earlier statement about her mount's True Spirit bloodline sensitivity, which then triggers their joint action to enter the chaos space.

Summary: "Came Back Empty-Handed"

Key Plot Points

• Marquis Heaven Origin and the woman surnamed Xiao (a Tribulation Transcendence demon cultivator) clash over soil fused with True Spirit Blood; the Marquis had "forcibly snatched half" from her.
• The woman threatens to attack, but the Marquis argues their strength is roughly equal and a battle would be indecisive.
• He convinces her to cooperate instead of fight, suggesting there might be more True Spirit Blood in the surrounding region.
• They agree to a 50/50 split on any future discoveries, though both privately understand the deal is hollow — the cultivation world's iron law being that treasures belong to whoever can seize them.
• They spend six hours thoroughly searching the Hundun (primordial chaos) void space, but find nothing else.
• Marquis Heaven Origin departs first, claiming his fortune is insufficient; the woman sulks but leaves as well.
• In the following days, several other cultivator groups arrive, search in vain, and leave equally disappointed. The whereabouts of the remaining True Spirit Blood become a mystery.

Character Developments

• Marquis Heaven Origin: Displays shrewdness and restraint — avoids a needless battle, proposes mutually beneficial cooperation, then leaves decisively when the search fails, accepting the outcome with practiced resignation.
• Woman surnamed Xiao: Sharp-tempered and proud, accustomed to being the one who takes advantage; she swallows her indignation for pragmatism but is visibly consumed by frustration when the venture yields nothing.

Significant Themes

• Greed and disappointment: High expectations of a major harvest collapse into emptiness; even mighty cultivators are subject to luck and futility.
• The iron law of treasures: Alliances of convenience are inherently unstable — "Heavenly materials and earthly treasures belonged to whoever could obtain them."
