Chapter Summaries

Lin Xuan watched the Mountain Giant Ape and Flame Giant battle in the Magma Lake and discovered a mysterious stone cavern hidden beneath it. After the cavern’s protective force nearly swallowed his divine sense, he cut away a small portion to escape and considered whether its treasure could help him obtain the True Spirit Blood and flame essence.

• Lin Xuan searched for the reason behind the creatures’ battle and sensed a naturally formed cavern beneath the Magma Lake.
• The cavern’s strange protective force trapped Lin Xuan’s divine sense, so he used an Immortal Sword to sever the captured portion and escape serious harm.
• Lin Xuan told Yue'er he was fine and realized the cavern’s treasure might give him leverage in his plans to obtain True Spirit Blood and flame essence.

Lin Xuan waited until the Mountain Giant Ape defeated the Flame Giant, then seized the Natural Fire Spirit and lured the ape away. His External Incarnation returned to the Magma Lake to search for the treasure while Lin Xuan fled with the pursuing True Spirit behind him.

• Lin Xuan’s External Incarnation appeared at the quiet lake and began searching for the treasure.

Lin Xuan encountered two Ancient Spirit Race cultivators in the True Spirit Burial Ground and tested the white-clad woman’s strength with several attacks. The woman easily repelled his probing, confirming that she was far stronger than an ordinary cultivator of her rank.

• Lin Xuan recognized that the woman’s strength matched or exceeded that of a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator.

Lin Xuan attacked two Ancient Spirit Race cultivators with his enhanced Black Water Asura Blade, hoping to defeat them quickly and learn whether they knew where the Asura Seven Treasures were. He killed the white-clothed woman, while Yue'er restrained the black-robed man's Ink Flood Dragons.

• Lin Xuan decided he had to defeat the two Spirit Race cultivators quickly to keep his main body safe and pursue clues about the Asura Seven Treasures.

Lin Xuan and Yue'er defeated a Spirit Race woman, but the black-clad man escaped by faking his self-destruction and fleeing in his Bronze Bell true body. Lin Xuan then searched the Magma Lake for the treasure and found an ancient pool of extraordinarily old Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

• Lin Xuan and Yue'er attacked the black-clad man, who self-destructed a shell to cover his escape in a Bronze Bell.

• Lin Xuan found a hidden stone cavern and forced his way inside.
• Lin Xuan discovered a pool filled with Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk that had existed for several hundred thousand years.

Lin Xuan found a Fire Dragon Fruit in the grotto and learned from Yue'er that it could heal true spirits. Elsewhere, the Spirit Race Ancestor and Huan'er learned that the woman who had appeared was the reincarnation of the Asura King, and the Ancestor asked Huan'er what she planned to do.

• The Spirit Race Ancestor received the report and gave the Jade Talisman to Huan'er to examine.
• Huan'er confirmed that the woman was the reincarnation of the Asura King, her former master, and the Spirit Race Ancestor asked what she would do.

The Spirit Race Saintess Huan'er and the Spirit Race Ancestor prepared for the arrival of Lin Xuan and the Asura King’s reincarnation, believing they could withstand them. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan fought to escape the Mountain Giant Ape, but his sword threads failed to hold the True Spirit.

• Lin Xuan used the Sword into Silk Technique to bind the Mountain Giant Ape and attack it with thousands of sword threads.
• The Mountain Giant Ape flared with golden light and shattered the sword threads binding its limbs.

Lin Xuan fought the Mountain Giant Ape, restoring his destroyed sword and combining several laws to break its Dharma Image. Though both were exhausted, Lin Xuan stopped the ape’s next attack by revealing he knew about its Fire Dragon Fruit, leaving their fight suspended over whether it would negotiate.

• The Mountain Giant Ape destroyed Lin Xuan’s sword threads and attacked him with its Dharma Image.
• Lin Xuan reassembled the sword into a giant blade, then added Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire and Illusionary Yin Divine Thunder.
• Lin Xuan used Sword Law, Law of Extreme Cold, and the law of lightning to counter the ape’s Law of Power, then added his own Law of Power and cleaved its Dharma Image in two.
• Both Lin Xuan and the Mountain Giant Ape were exhausted, but the ape recovered and prepared to attack again.
• Lin Xuan stopped the ape by asking whether it still wanted the Fire Dragon Fruit, and the ape hesitated and demanded to know how he knew about it.

• Lin Xuan promised to hand over the Fire Dragon Fruit when his avatar arrived, and the Mountain Giant Ape waited.

Lin Xuan reunited with his Second Nascent Soul, gave the Mountain Giant Ape the Fire Dragon Fruit as promised, and left with its True Spirit Blood and the Fire Spirit Essence. He and Yue'er chose to enter seclusion to strengthen themselves before seeking clues to the Asura Seven Treasures among the ancient Spirit Race, and Lin Xuan began preparing to refine his gains.

• Lin Xuan drew out his crystallized divine sense and attached countless threads to his Blood Fire Ants.
• After several hours, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and told Yue'er he had found the Spirit Race.

Lin Xuan found the Spirit Race encampment and broke its hidden formation with the Immortal Sword Map. Hundreds of Spirit Race members arrived to confront him, and he judged that most were too weak to threaten him.

• Lin Xuan detected the Spirit Race encampment, while the Spirit Race ancestor and Huan'er prepared for his arrival.

• The Spirit Race Ancestor fired two arrows at Lin Xuan, who blocked them with sword light from his sleeve.

As Lin Xuan summoned powerful true-spirit manifestations, the Spirit Race Ancestor recognized the danger but faced a mounting assault.

• Lin Xuan realized that the Spirit Race Ancestor's mirror-shaped treasure had simulated his attacks, then ended the exchange by putting away his treasures.

• The Jade Ruyi transformed into a towering, black-scaled monster with two heads and four arms, leaving Lin Xuan astonished.
