Chapter Summaries

At the Fu Family auction, Fu Tianheng offered a Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman in exchange for a list of rare materials, drawing fierce interest from the Ancient Demons. When the Grand Elder of Blackwater City tried to secure it with extra Magic Stones, Fu Tianheng refused to bend the auction rules, leaving the elder unable to press his claim without contradicting himself.

• Lin Xuan decided he was determined to obtain the Perfect Substitute Tribulation Talisman as the Ancient Demons reacted to its appearance.
• Fu Tianheng announced that the talisman would go to whoever offered the most materials from the Fu Family's inventory rather than Magic Stones.
• A scaled Ancient Demon and the six-eyed Zhen the Second both claimed they could provide the listed materials, and Zhen the Second appealed to his friendship with the Fu Family.
• The Grand Elder of Blackwater City released his spiritual pressure, identified himself as a late-stage Dongxuan Realm expert, and offered the materials plus two million Magic Stones.
• Fu Tianheng rejected the Grand Elder's offer, citing the auction rules the elder had invoked against Zhen the Second moments earlier.

Fu Tianheng changed the auction rules so bidders had to pay for the Substitute Tribulation Talisman with increasingly valuable materials, and Lin Xuan defeated Yanshan Ancestor in a fierce bidding contest. The onlookers suspected Lin Xuan was a Spirit Division-stage cultivator after he had won two talismans from Yanshan Ancestor.

• Fu Tianheng announced that the listed materials were only the base price and that bidders had to provide additional materials to raise their bids.
• The Blackwater City Lord and another bidder withdrew, while Zhen Er submitted the base-price materials in hopes of winning uncontested.
• Yanshan Ancestor offered the base-price materials and ten kinds of additional materials, but Lin Xuan entered the contest with fifteen kinds.
• Yanshan Ancestor and Lin Xuan repeatedly raised their bids, and Lin Xuan won after offering more materials.
• Yanshan Ancestor glared at Lin Xuan in fury, while the Ancient Demons speculated that Lin Xuan was a Spirit Division-stage cultivator.

The Ten Thousand Talisman Conference unveiled its final auction item, a Random Teleportation Talisman refined by the legendary Fu Hongye. Lin Xuan recognized its immense value as the auction prepared to begin.

• The Ancient Demons suspected Lin Xuan was a hidden Spirit Division expert and fell silent, while Lin Xuan welcomed their mistaken assumption.
• Fu Tianheng opened a jade box made of Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade and revealed a powerful silver talisman.
• Fu Tianheng explained that the talisman was a clan-guarding treasure created by Ancestor Hongye, the Fu Family's famed late-stage Spirit Division genius.
• Fu Tianheng identified the talisman as a Random Teleportation Talisman, and Lin Xuan realized it could let its user escape from a powerful enemy.

At the auction, Yanshan Ancestor and Lin Xuan both offered Spirit Division-level Earth Rhinoceros Dragon materials for the Fu Family’s Random Teleportation Talisman. The Fu Family awarded it to Lin Xuan because his dragon was mutated, leaving Yanshan Ancestor furious and intent on killing him.

• Fu Tianheng explained that the Random Teleportation Talisman could transport someone a million li and required Earth Rhinoceros Dragon materials to qualify for bidding.
• Yanshan Ancestor offered the materials from a Spirit Division-level Earth Rhinoceros Dragon he had hunted, and Fu Tianheng accepted them.
• Lin Xuan also submitted an Earth Rhinoceros Dragon, interrupting Fu Tianheng before he could award the talisman to Yanshan Ancestor.
• Fu Tianheng declared Lin Xuan the winner because his Earth Rhinoceros Dragon was mutated and its materials were more valuable to the Fu Family.
• Yanshan Ancestor questioned the decision, then accepted the explanation while resolving to kill Lin Xuan.

Yanshan Ancestor confronted Lin Xuan after Lin Xuan took the three auction talismans, while Fu Tianheng backed down rather than risk the Fu Family. Lin Xuan remained unmoved by Yanshan Ancestor’s pressure and finally sent out a Spirit Ghost Bag, leaving the contents unrevealed.

• Yanshan Ancestor erupted in anger over Lin Xuan taking his talismans and threatened Fu Tianheng when he tried to intervene.
• Fu Tianheng was overwhelmed by Yanshan Ancestor’s gaze and retreated, unwilling to endanger himself or the Fu Family.
• Lin Xuan met Yanshan Ancestor’s escalating spiritual pressure without showing fear, leading onlookers to suspect he was a hidden Spirit Division cultivator.
• Lin Xuan flicked out a grayish-white Spirit Ghost Bag, which opened as savage growls came from within.

Lin Xuan ended his confrontation with Yanshan Ancestor after revealing the Silver-Winged Corpse King, then secured all three spirit talismans at the auction. He learned that the Fu Family Ancestor could discuss the Stalactite in three days and was escorted to a VIP residence in Baifu Scenic Spot.

• A Silver-Winged Corpse King emerged, and Yanshan Ancestor realized Lin Xuan could match him in strength.
• Fu Tianheng pleaded for peace, and Yanshan Ancestor used his appeal to back down while Lin Xuan recalled the corpse king.
• Lin Xuan obtained all three spirit talismans at the auction, and Yanshan Ancestor left Baifu Scenic Spot in embarrassment.
• Fu Hongxue told Lin Xuan that the Fu Family Ancestor would meet him in three days to discuss the Stalactite.
• Fu Hongxue escorted Lin Xuan to the VIP Building, where several steward disciples greeted her.

Lin Xuan stayed in the Fu Family’s guest pavilion after Fu Hongxue introduced him as an honored senior. He rested and prepared for his meeting with the Fu Family Ancestor, then allowed the maids to bring him food and drink.

• Fu Hongxue told the maids that Lin Xuan was the Ancestor’s esteemed guest and instructed them to serve him well.
• Lin Xuan refused personal attendants, took the Bone Tablet controlling the pavilion’s restrictions, and entered the pavilion.

• Lin Xuan rested in the pavilion and reflected on the talismans he had acquired and his upcoming trip to Medicine King Valley.
• When the maids arrived with food and drink, Lin Xuan invited them inside.

Lin Xuan went to meet Fu Family Ancestor Fu Yaozhou at Qianling Lake, where the ancestor tested his cultivation by clashing divine senses with him. The test confirmed Lin Xuan’s Spirit Division-level divine sense, and Fu Yaozhou began asking him for guidance about what he had discovered.

• Lin Xuan received Fu Hongxue’s summons and followed her through the Fu family grounds to Qianling Lake.
• Fu Hongxue left Lin Xuan outside the island where Fu Yaozhou lived, explaining that she was forbidden to enter.
• Fu Yaozhou probed Lin Xuan with his divine sense, and Lin Xuan met the challenge with divine sense strong enough to match a Spirit Division cultivator.
• Lin Xuan confronted Fu Yaozhou and threatened to fight back if the ancestor intended to detain or harm him.
• Fu Yaozhou admitted that he had tested Lin Xuan and said he had confirmed a few things, then asked Lin Xuan for guidance.

Lin Xuan convinced Fu Yaozhou that his power truly reached the Spirit Division stage by revealing his Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire and Silver-Winged Corpse King. At Fu Yaozhou’s cultivation cave, they began negotiating an exchange for five-thousand-year-old stalactite milk, with Fu Yaozhou asking what Lin Xuan would pay.

• Fu Yaozhou questioned Lin Xuan’s claimed strength because his magical power and spiritual pressure seemed to be at the Dongxuan Realm level.
• Lin Xuan displayed the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire and summoned the Silver-Winged Corpse King, dispelling Fu Yaozhou’s doubts.
• Fu Yaozhou apologized and invited Lin Xuan to his cultivation cave, but Lin Xuan evaded his questions about his origins along the way.
• At the cave, Lin Xuan directly asked to buy five-thousand-year-old stalactite milk, and Fu Yaozhou admitted the Fu Family might part with some.
• Lin Xuan proposed exchanging for ten bottles, and Fu Yaozhou objected to the amount before asking what Lin Xuan would offer in payment.

Lin Xuan traded a mountain of Magic Beast materials to Fu Yaozhou for fifteen bottles of Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk, then declined Fu Yaozhou’s invitation to discuss cultivation and left. After Lin Xuan was gone, the Yanshan Ancestor emerged from hiding and questioned Fu Yaozhou’s claim that Lin Xuan was only at the Dongxuan level.

• Lin Xuan displayed seven Storage Bags of valuable Magic Beast materials to prove he could pay for the Stalactite Milk.
• Fu Yaozhou inspected the materials and brought out ten bottles of Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk for the exchange.
• Lin Xuan challenged Fu Yaozhou to provide more bottles, and they bargained until they settled on fifteen.
• Lin Xuan completed the exchange and refused Fu Yaozhou’s invitation to discuss cultivation before leaving.
• Fu Yaozhou activated the cave’s restrictions and summoned the hidden Yanshan Ancestor, who asked about Lin Xuan’s true cultivation level.
• Fu Yaozhou said he believed Lin Xuan was at the Dongxuan level, and Yanshan questioned how that explained Lin Xuan’s Spirit Division-stage Corpse Demon.

Fu Yaozhou traded Yanshan Ancestor a Law-Prohibiting Talisman for evidence of the Fu Family’s Heavenly Demon ancestry, then revealed why he expected Lin Xuan to threaten Yanshan Ancestor. Yanshan Ancestor left to confront Lin Xuan, while Fu Yaozhou and Fu Tianheng discussed the danger their family still faced.

• Yanshan Ancestor asked Fu Yaozhou for a way to counter Lin Xuan’s Three Great Spirit Talismans, and Fu Yaozhou offered a Law-Prohibiting Talisman in exchange for the black scroll.
• Yanshan Ancestor handed Fu Yaozhou the scroll, received the talisman, and departed to seek trouble for Lin Xuan.
• Fu Yaozhou celebrated recovering the evidence that could expose the Fu Family as descendants of Lord Heavenly Demon, and Fu Tianheng joined him.
• Fu Tianheng worried Yanshan Ancestor might reveal the family secret, but Fu Yaozhou said he had his own plan.
• Fu Yaozhou explained that Lin Xuan’s powerful divine sense and genuine Spirit Division-stage Silver-Winged Corpse Demon could make him a formidable opponent despite his Dongxuan Realm cultivation.

After discovering that the Yanshan Ancestor had tracked him from Baifu Scenic Spot, Lin Xuan prepared to fight rather than flee. Their battle began with Lin Xuan’s Soul-Losing Drum and Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword, while the Yanshan Ancestor countered with a spatial treasure and a swarm of demonic flames.

• Lin Xuan fled more than a million li from Baifu Scenic Spot before sensing the approaching Yanshan Ancestor.
• Lin Xuan used the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to find and destroy the tracking secret technique on his robe, but realized the Yanshan Ancestor had already caught up.
• Lin Xuan calmed himself, revealed his identity as an immortal cultivator, and prepared the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword and other treasures.
• Lin Xuan attacked with the Soul-Losing Drum and Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword, but the Yanshan Ancestor’s protective demonic qi repelled the drum’s sound waves and his spatial treasure diverted the swords.
• The Yanshan Ancestor unleashed demonic flames from clouds filled with Evil Ghost heads, and Lin Xuan dodged with Nine Heavens Micro-Steps as the flames reduced a huge mountain to nothingness.

Lin Xuan fought Yanshan Ancestor head-on with the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword and held his own against the Spirit Division-stage Ancient Demon. After Yanshan Ancestor’s spatial treasure shrugged off the sword attack, Lin Xuan revealed a spatial attack from his Long Spear, startling his opponent.

• Yanshan Ancestor sent dozens of flame-formed Magic Snakes at Lin Xuan, who split his Flying Swords to attack both the snakes and Yanshan Ancestor.
• Lin Xuan’s sword lights clashed evenly with the Magic Snakes, surprising Yanshan Ancestor and giving Lin Xuan confidence in his chances.
• Yanshan Ancestor used his demonic mist and Ghost Heads to defend against and bite the sword lights, but the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword proved too hard to damage.
• Lin Xuan poured his magic power into his Long Spear and unleashed a crescent-shaped spatial blade with a miniature array attached.
• Yanshan Ancestor recognized the Long Spear’s unusual spatial power and cried out in alarm.

Lin Xuan fought Yanshan Ancestor, an Ancient Demon, but neither his spatial blade nor his swords could finish him after he revealed his monstrous true form. Lin Xuan summoned the Silver-Winged Corpse King to join the battle, and the chapter left them fighting Yanshan Ancestor.

• Yanshan Ancestor survived Lin Xuan’s spatial blade by forming a black cocoon, which Lin Xuan shattered with his Flying Swords and the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword.
• Yanshan Ancestor emerged as a powerful ox-headed monster and demanded that Lin Xuan hand over the Three Great Spirit Talismans, but Lin Xuan refused.
• Yanshan Ancestor struck with his Wolf-Tooth Mace, and Lin Xuan dodged as the blow destroyed a mountain and split the earth.
• Lin Xuan summoned the Silver-Winged Corpse King and gave him the Heaven Ghost Axe to face Yanshan Ancestor.
• The Silver-Winged Corpse King clashed head-on with Yanshan Ancestor, was pushed back slightly, then unleashed a barrage of claw lights.

Yanshan Ancestor bypassed the Silver-Winged Corpse King and attacked Lin Xuan, who met his strike with the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword. After Lin Xuan was injured but survived, Yanshan Ancestor rushed to finish him off, only to be confronted by Lin Xuan’s Purple Patterned Corpse Insect.

• Yanshan Ancestor used afterimages to evade the Silver-Winged Corpse King and charged toward Lin Xuan, whom he identified as the Corpse Demon’s weakness.
• Yanshan Ancestor empowered his wolf-tooth mace with blood essence and transformed into a giant as Lin Xuan summoned eighty-one swords into the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword.
• Yanshan Ancestor and Lin Xuan clashed head-on, leveling the surrounding mountains; Lin Xuan was blasted away and spat blood, but remained standing.
• Yanshan Ancestor was shocked by Lin Xuan’s resilience, then used afterimages to rush in for a killing blow before the Silver-Winged Corpse King could intervene.
• The Purple Patterned Corpse Insect intercepted Yanshan Ancestor, who recognized the dangerous Demon Insect and no longer underestimated Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan fought Yanshan Ancestor with the Purple Patterned Corpse Insect and enormous swarms of Blood Fire Ants, but the Ancient Demon countered his attacks and pursued him. After Lin Xuan’s Spirit-Devouring Sword strike only delayed Yanshan Ancestor, Lin Xuan began a new technique by merging blood mist with spell seals and drawing the resulting rune into his chest.

• Yanshan Ancestor attacked the Purple Patterned Corpse Insect with a Demon Python and Skull Artifact, but Lin Xuan’s hidden strike pierced his left shoulder.
• Lin Xuan released Blood Fire Ants from the Ten Thousand Soul Tower, and Yanshan Ancestor used countless Ice Needles to kill millions of them.
• Lin Xuan sent the remaining Blood Fire Ants to self-destruct against Yanshan Ancestor’s spiked ice sphere, shattering it with repeated explosions.
• Yanshan Ancestor pursued Lin Xuan through space with his Teleportation technique, overcoming Lin Xuan’s Nine Heavens Micro-Steps and scattering the Blood Fire Ants.
• Lin Xuan wielded the Spirit-Devouring Sword to delay Yanshan Ancestor, then combined blood mist with spell seals and drew the rune into his chest.

Lin Xuan unleashed his hidden late-Dongxuan power and launched a devastating three-sided assault on Yanshan Ancestor. Yanshan Ancestor survived but was gravely injured, while Lin Xuan, nearly out of magic power, considered retreating.

• Lin Xuan released the seal on his Demon Core, broke through to late Dongxuan, and transformed through Phoenix Transformation.
• Lin Xuan poured his power into the Spirit-Devouring Sword as the Four Spirits, Purple Patterned Corpse Insects, and Silver-Winged Corpse King attacked Yanshan Ancestor from multiple sides.
• The combined attack devastated the surrounding land and left Lin Xuan nearly exhausted.
• Yanshan Ancestor emerged from the explosion alive, missing an arm, and revealed that a secret art had saved him at the cost of centuries of recovery.
• Lin Xuan weighed retreating as his allies weakened and Yanshan Ancestor vowed revenge.

Lin Xuan released his Jade Luo Bees against Yanshan Ancestor, who recognized them and suspected Lin Xuan was Bailing Fairy’s disciple. Yanshan Ancestor trapped the swarm in a blood-and-demonic-energy net, leaving Lin Xuan near the end of his strength.

• Seven Ancient Demons searched for clues about Miss Magic Snake’s death and decided to investigate distant battle fluctuations.
• Yanshan Ancestor attacked Lin Xuan, who sent out the Jade Luo Bees as his hidden trump card.
• Yanshan Ancestor recognized the Jade Luo Bees and asked whether Lin Xuan was connected to Bailing Fairy.
• Lin Xuan claimed Bailing Fairy was his master, and Yanshan Ancestor believed him but resolved to kill him anyway.
• Yanshan Ancestor used his essence blood to form a net that trapped the Jade Luo Bees while Lin Xuan’s magic power was nearly exhausted.

Lin Xuan struggled against Yanshan Ancestor, whose Law-Prohibiting Talisman stopped Lin Xuan from using any of his Fu Family talismans. Lin Xuan discovered that maintaining the talisman rapidly drained Yanshan Ancestor’s magic power, giving him hope as he prepared to keep fighting.

• Lin Xuan considered using his Random Teleportation Talisman to escape but hesitated, while the Silver-Winged Corpse King warned that its control time was nearly over.
• Yanshan Ancestor used a Law-Prohibiting Talisman that prevented Lin Xuan from activating his Random Teleportation Talisman and other Fu Family talismans.
• Lin Xuan tested the effect with attack and defensive talismans, confirmed none would work, and considered whether he had to use the Five Dragon Seal.
• Yanshan Ancestor realized that sustaining the Law-Prohibiting Talisman consumed his magic power at an alarming rate and blamed Fu Yaozhou and the Fu Family.
• Lin Xuan noticed Yanshan Ancestor’s predicament, regained confidence, and summoned his eighty-one Nine Palaces Instantaneous Swords in nine groups.

Lin Xuan and Yanshan Ancestor fought while both were nearly out of magic power, and Lin Xuan held off the old monster’s attacks until Yanshan tried to escape. Yanshan tricked Lin Xuan into dropping his defenses, but his close-range attack gave Lin Xuan the chance to freeze him with the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire.

• Lin Xuan defended against Yanshan Ancestor’s four Demon Treasures with his shields, armor, Child-Mother Yin Thunders, and sword formations.
• Several Ancient Demons of the Naga Tribe approached the battle site cautiously while carrying out Lord Lei Yan’s mission.
• Yanshan Ancestor realized his magic power was draining and tried to flee, but Lin Xuan summoned eighty-one Flying Swords to attack him.
• Yanshan Ancestor feigned weakness, used his Demon Sword to block Lin Xuan’s strike, and teleported close to punch him.
• Lin Xuan met Yanshan Ancestor’s punch with the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire, converting its power into freezing and sealing the old monster in ice.
