Chapter Summaries

Golden Moon True Toad trapped Hundred Flowers Fairy with its Origin Body and prepared to detonate it, but Lin Xuan’s warning signs had already led him to flee. The toad was killed by Hundred Flowers Fairy’s hidden sword threads, yet its bound Origin Body still threatened to explode around her.

• Golden Moon True Toad bound Hundred Flowers Fairy with tentacles formed from its Origin Body and announced it would detonate the body rather than become her servant.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy challenged the toad’s confidence, and her crystalline sword threads cut Golden Moon True Toad into eight pieces and annihilated it.
• Golden Moon True Toad’s Origin Body continued to bind Hundred Flowers Fairy and remained on the verge of exploding.
• Lin Xuan realized the toad’s unusually willing surrender was a trap and fled before the crisis began.
• Lin Xuan attributed Hundred Flowers Fairy’s vulnerability to her diminished vigilance after a long life of unquestioned authority.

Lin Xuan escaped the blast from the Golden Moon True Toad’s self-detonation and found that the devastated area had become a realm of nothingness. He weighed the danger of returning against the chance to claim the remains and treasures of the Golden Moon True Toad and Hundred Flowers Fairy.

• Lin Xuan used Phantom Escape to shift tens of thousands of miles away from Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Golden Moon True Toad.
• The Golden Moon True Toad’s self-detonation sent a thunderous shockwave across the distance, and Lin Xuan hid deep underground.
• Lin Xuan learned that the explosion had destroyed space and the Laws of Heaven and Earth across several hundred miles, leaving a region of nothingness.
• Lin Xuan emerged from underground and found that his divine sense could not penetrate the ruined area or reveal what had happened there.
• Lin Xuan considered returning to search for the Golden Moon True Toad’s remains and Hundred Flowers Fairy’s Storage Bag, despite the danger.

Lin Xuan decided to risk entering the devastated region to claim the Golden Moon True Toad’s treasures, but first tested the chaotic space with Blood Fire Ants. Their deaths revealed that its mysterious force killed beings below the Nascent Soul Realm, leaving Lin Xuan to assess the danger ahead.

• Lin Xuan chose to pursue the opportunity and flew toward the Golden Moon True Toad’s Storage Bag using the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to protect himself.
• Lin Xuan encountered a vast region where the Golden Moon True Toad’s Origin Body had destroyed the Laws of Heaven and Earth, restoring the area to a state like Hundun first opening.
• Lin Xuan released Blood Fire Ants and sent more than a thousand into the chaotic space to scout it.
• The scouting ants burst apart under a mysterious force, but their mental connection showed Lin Xuan that the force only affected beings below the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lin Xuan flew into the chaotic space left by the explosion, gained insight into the Primordial Era, and advanced his Second Nascent Soul to the mid-stage Spirit Division Stage. He found no trace of the Golden Moon True Toad or the Hundred Flowers Fairy, but just as he was about to give up searching, he noticed something unexpected.

• Lin Xuan entered the chaotic space, repelling its mysterious energy as it grew stronger deeper inside.
• Lin Xuan glimpsed the origin of the laws, stopped when the insight caused pain in his divine sense, and gained a sudden boost that advanced his Second Nascent Soul to the mid-stage Spirit Division Stage.
• Lin Xuan continued flying through the space, where his divine sense and eyesight were severely limited and the mysterious energy became harder to dispel.
• Lin Xuan searched for the Golden Moon True Toad, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and her Storage Bag but found nothing.
• Lin Xuan turned his head and noticed something unexpected just as he was about to despair.

Lin Xuan used the Sea-Overturning Halberd to open a passage through a mysterious black speck in the Hundun space and entered a barren small plane. He recognized it as a type of small realm but remained unsure why he had arrived there.

• Lin Xuan discovered a tiny black speck that absorbed his divine sense and sensed Space Laws around it.
• Lin Xuan activated the Sea-Overturning Halberd with demonic qi, revealing profound Xuantian demon markings.
• Lin Xuan struck the black speck with the halberd, enlarging it into a crescent-shaped opening that carried a faint trace of True Spirit Blood.
• Lin Xuan wrapped himself in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and flew through the opening into a gray, barren space.
• Lin Xuan recognized the place as a small plane, possibly a Small Spirit World, Small Demon World, or Wasteland Realm, but could not tell why he had been transported there.

Lin Xuan discovered that Hundred Flowers Fairy had survived the Golden Moon True Toad’s explosion but was gravely wounded and unable to move. He decided not to risk killing her for her treasures and instead considered helping her to gain the goodwill of a powerful cultivator.

• Lin Xuan spotted Hundred Flowers Fairy alive near the hills and realized she had survived the explosion.
• Lin Xuan used his divine sense to confirm that Hundred Flowers Fairy was badly injured, conscious, and seemingly unable to move.
• Lin Xuan weighed the possibility of taking Hundred Flowers Fairy’s treasures against the danger of her hidden trump cards.
• Lin Xuan rejected attacking her and decided that helping her might earn her gratitude and friendship.

Lin Xuan approached the badly injured Hundred Flowers Fairy and tried to convince her he had come to help. She remained wary as he presented a spirit medicine, while she doubted it could heal the wounds left by the Golden Moon True Toad’s Origin explosion.

• Lin Xuan decided to help Hundred Flowers Fairy, hoping she might reward him, and cautiously stopped ten zhang away from her.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy kept a powerful white light ready, so Lin Xuan gently assured her he bore no malice.
• Lin Xuan slowly took out a sealed Jade Box and offered her a spirit medicine.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy recalled that she had survived the Golden Moon True Toad’s Origin explosion by using a Xiantian Spirit Treasure, but her body, Nascent Soul, and spirits were gravely injured.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy had been cast into an abandoned space without spiritual or demonic energy, and she doubted Lin Xuan’s medicine could help her.

Lin Xuan gave the gravely injured Hundred Flowers Fairy a Piaomiao Nine Immortal Pill, which stabilized her Nascent Soul and gave her hope of surviving. Though he briefly considered killing her for her Storage Bag while she was vulnerable, he chose to retreat and stand guard as she refined the medicine.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy feared her soul injury and weakened cultivation would leave lasting damage, while doubting Lin Xuan could help her.
• Lin Xuan opened a Jade Box and revealed a purple Piaomiao Nine Immortal Pill, a natural spiritual medicine known for healing injuries.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy recognized the pill’s value and asked Lin Xuan to let her take it, promising to reward him.
• Lin Xuan sent the pill to Hundred Flowers Fairy without approaching, and she swallowed it.
• The pill nourished her meridians and helped her Nascent Soul grow more stable, though she remained badly injured.
• Lin Xuan considered killing Hundred Flowers Fairy for her Storage Bag but decided against it and withdrew to meditate nearby while she refined the medicine.

After Lin Xuan helped Hundred Flowers Fairy stabilize her injuries, she offered him any reward he wanted. He declined pills, treasures, materials, and Spirit Stones, then asked her for a cultivation method.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy secretly prepared a strand of Sword Qi while watching Lin Xuan, but relaxed when she realized he meant her no harm.
• Half an hour later, Hundred Flowers Fairy stood and told Lin Xuan that her injuries were under control, though she was far from recovered.
• Grateful for Lin Xuan's help, Hundred Flowers Fairy asked what he wanted and offered to provide almost any treasure.
• Lin Xuan declined her offers of pills, Dharma Treasures, rare materials, and Top-grade Spirit Stones.
• Lin Xuan told Hundred Flowers Fairy that he wanted a cultivation method, surprising her.

Lin Xuan asked Hundred Flowers Fairy for a single secret technique rather than treasures, leaving her uneasy about repaying his kindness. He began to reveal which technique he wanted, but the chapter ended before he named it.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy offered Lin Xuan a choice of cultivation arts, but he clarified that he wanted only a secret technique.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy was surprised by how modest his request was and urged him to ask for more.
• Lin Xuan declined her offer of an additional request, while secretly hoping to preserve her sense of indebtedness and their future connection.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy pressed Lin Xuan to name the secret technique, and he hesitantly began to say what he had taken a fancy to.

Lin Xuan asked Hundred Flowers Fairy to teach him Sword Spirit Transformation into Void, a secret art he had deliberately chosen after securing her promise of one technique. Hundred Flowers Fairy reluctantly decided she could share it, then reassured herself that Lin Xuan could not use it without obtaining Outer-Domain Heavenly Gold.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy decided to grant Lin Xuan whichever secret art he requested after he had helped her.
• Lin Xuan asked her to teach him Sword Spirit Transformation into Void, which he had already studied from an incomplete copy.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy hesitated because Sword Spirit Transformation into Void was her signature technique and she had not even taught it to her beloved disciples.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy concluded that teaching Lin Xuan the art would be harmless because using it required Outer-Domain Heavenly Gold.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy explained that Outer-Domain Heavenly Gold could only be obtained by killing an Outer-Domain Heavenly Demon, a fearsome being from beyond the realms.

Hundred Flowers Fairy told Lin Xuan that Outer-Domain Heavenly Gold was essential to cultivate Sword Spirit Transformation into Void, but Lin Xuan still chose to receive the art. After he swore not to reveal it, Hundred Flowers Fairy transmitted it and departed to recover from her injuries.

• Hundred Flowers Fairy explained that Lin Xuan could not cultivate Sword Spirit Transformation into Void without Outer-Domain Heavenly Gold, but Lin Xuan insisted on receiving its incantation.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy agreed to transmit the secret art after Lin Xuan promised not to show or pass it on to anyone else.
• At Hundred Flowers Fairy's demand, Lin Xuan swore by his divine soul that he would keep the art secret.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy sent the incantation into Lin Xuan's Consciousness Sea, and he memorized its characters.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy departed to return to her cultivation cave and recover from her injuries.

After escaping the Void and returning to the Nailong Realm, Lin Xuan discovered that the Golden Moon True Toad had left behind traces in the recovering space. He gathered the mysterious earth pieces and left before danger could arrive.

• Lin Xuan used the Sea-Overturning Halberd to open a Spatial Rift and returned to the Nailong Realm.
• Lin Xuan spotted a fist-sized clod of earth floating in the empty space and sensed the Golden Moon True Toad's aura within it.
• Lin Xuan stored the clod in his Instantaneous Bag and searched the area for more traces.
• Lin Xuan found several dozen more pieces of earth, collected them in his Storage Bag, and left after checking the area for anything else.

Lin Xuan fled the ruined area to avoid being traced, while Marquis Heaven Origin and Fairy Xiao arrived afterward and examined the devastation. They concluded that the battle that had shattered the Laws of Heaven and Earth had been beyond their own abilities.

• Lin Xuan used Thousand-Mile Instantaneous to fly away from Cloud Hidden Sect and planned to stay away for several months before returning.
• Marquis Heaven Origin arrived in a Beast Carriage and sensed that the chaotic space had been altered by a great battle.
• Marquis Heaven Origin called out Fairy Xiao, who revealed herself riding a powerful Fire Sun Bird.
• Fairy Xiao and Marquis Heaven Origin inspected the destruction and agreed that neither of them could have caused such devastation.

Marquis Heaven Origin and Fairy Xiao determined that the devastation in the Hundun space could only have been caused by late Tribulation Transcendence experts, but they could not identify the fighters. After the Spirit Bird sensed True Spirit Blood, the two rushed into the space and emerged with half a lump of earth each.

• Marquis Heaven Origin and Fairy Xiao concluded that only late Tribulation Transcendence experts could have destroyed the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and discussed who might have fought there.
• Fairy Xiao ruled out Nailong True Person because the residual spiritual power did not match his imprint.
• Fairy Xiao's Spirit Bird cried out toward the Hundun space, sensing True Spirit Blood, and she and Marquis Heaven Origin rushed inside.
• Fairy Xiao emerged in human form holding half a lump of earth, delighted by the find but angered that she had obtained only half.
• Marquis Heaven Origin flew out holding the other half and examined it with joy.

Marquis Heaven Origin and the woman surnamed Xiao joined forces to search the Hundun space for more soil fused with True Spirit Blood, but found nothing and left empty-handed. Other cultivators later searched the region without success, leaving the whereabouts of the remaining True Spirit Blood unknown.

• The woman surnamed Xiao confronted Marquis Heaven Origin for taking half of the True Spirit Blood, but agreed to cooperate when he suggested searching the region for more.
• Marquis Heaven Origin and the woman surnamed Xiao searched the Hundun space for six hours but found no additional True Spirit Blood.
• Marquis Heaven Origin gave up and left in his Beast Carriage, and the woman surnamed Xiao soon departed on the Fire Sun Bird.
• Over the following days, more groups of cultivators searched the region but found no valuable clues and left empty-handed.

Marquis Heaven Origin used his spirit beast Black Tooth to track the unknown cultivator who had visited the chaotic space, while Lin Xuan fled with his treasures and tried to evade pursuit. The chapter left Marquis Heaven Origin still chasing Lin Xuan, determined to obtain the Golden Moon True Toad blood.

• Marquis Heaven Origin learned from Black Tooth that another cultivator had been in the chaotic space before him and Fairy Xiao, then sent the beast to track the cultivator’s scent.
• Black Tooth detected Lin Xuan’s trail heading southeast, and Marquis Heaven Origin sped after him in his Beast Carriage.
• Lin Xuan flew for two days, uneasy despite having traveled millions of li, and decided to keep moving before stopping.
• Lin Xuan repeatedly changed direction every one or two hours, making it difficult for Black Tooth to follow his scent.
• Marquis Heaven Origin refined several drops of Golden Moon True Toad spirit blood from the soil and continued the pursuit rather than give up.

After flying for more than ten days, Lin Xuan entered Wentian City and hid his Spirit Division aura, unaware that Marquis Heaven Origin was tracking him for the True Spirit Blood. Marquis Heaven Origin found his trail but hesitated to pursue him openly because Wentian City belonged to the powerful True Extremity Sect.

• Lin Xuan reached Wentian City, suppressed his aura to appear as a Nascent Soul cultivator, and decided to stop fleeing despite his lingering unease.
• Marquis Heaven Origin used a secret art to strengthen the Wild Boar-like Spirit Beast’s tracking ability, damaging its vital essence and lifespan.
• The Spirit Beast sensed Lin Xuan’s trail again, and Marquis Heaven Origin drove his Beast Carriage toward Wentian City.
• The Spirit Beast confirmed that Lin Xuan was somewhere inside the vast city but could not identify him among its many cultivators.
• Marquis Heaven Origin recognized Wentian City as territory of the True Extremity Sect, whose Supreme Elder True Person Tianji surpassed him in strength, and wondered whether Lin Xuan had sought refuge there.

Marquis Heaven Origin decided to seize the True Spirit Blood, believing it could help him advance or survive his next Heavenly Tribulation. He unleashed his spiritual pressure across Wentian City and began searching for its holder.

• Marquis Heaven Origin reasoned that the True Spirit Blood could help him break through to mid-Tribulation Transcendence or cultivate a life-preserving technique.
• Marquis Heaven Origin resolved to risk offending the True Extremity Sect and prepared to take the spirit blood by force.
• Marquis Heaven Origin released his spiritual pressure across Wentian City, disrupting cultivators’ magical power and throwing the city into alarm.
• Marquis Heaven Origin spread his divine sense through the city and began checking cultivators one by one for the spirit blood’s imprint.

Lin Xuan suspected the Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert searching Wentian City had come for him, so he hid among the Mortals using the Heavenly Demon Infant Transformation Art. Marquis Heaven Origin’s divine sense swept over him but failed to detect anything unusual.

• Lin Xuan decided to stay away from the Cloud Hidden Sect for several months because his unease would not fade.
• A Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert appeared over Wentian City and released his spiritual pressure while searching for something.
• Lin Xuan suspected the expert was pursuing him because of something he had done in the Hundun space.
• Lin Xuan slipped away from the crowded teahouse and used the Heavenly Demon Infant Transformation Art to make himself appear like a Mortal.
• Marquis Heaven Origin’s divine sense scanned Lin Xuan, but the transformation concealed his magic power and Nascent Soul.
