Chapter Summaries

Zhou Tong rebirthed his final Kirin True Fate within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, turning its cultivation into extraordinary potential. He chose the Steal Induction Breathing Method as the foundation of the Kirin True Fate’s Pollen Path cultivation.

• Zhou Tong sent the Kirin True Fate into the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings so it could be reborn there and return to him more easily.
• Zhou Tong drew on the World Tree and the rules and essence of the universes to form an Immortal Embryo, converting the kirin’s power into potential.
• The golden Kirin True Fate emerged from the embryo and appeared beneath the World Tree of the Divine Domain, still linked to the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.
• Zhou Tong reviewed the Pollen Path Breathing Methods in the Kunpeng True Fate’s memories and selected Steal Induction as the Kirin True Fate’s main method.

Zhou Tong had his Kirin True Fate begin cultivating the Pollen Path beneath the World Tree, testing the Steal Induction Breathing Method and several methods created by the Five Ancestors. The Kirin True Fate grew stronger through the successive exercises, and Zhou Tong moved on to the fourth Breathing Method.

• The Kirin True Fate practiced the Steal Induction Breathing Method beneath the World Tree and absorbed its essence and Dao opportunities.
• Zhou Tong reflected that Pollen Path cultivation was slow without pollen catalysts, while relying on pollen too quickly could cause grotesque transformations.
• Zhou Tong switched the Kirin True Fate to another Breathing Method, which hammered and strengthened its body and primordial spirit.
• The Kirin True Fate cultivated a third Breathing Method focused on increasing vitality.
• Zhou Tong began having the Kirin True Fate practice the fourth Breathing Method.

Zhou Tong discovered that his Kirin True Fate’s Pollen System cultivation progressed too slowly without pollen catalysts, so he investigated Spirit Particles as a way to revive the resources the path required. He isolated a divine mountain for an experiment and brought out the Reincarnation Mirror to awaken its dormant Spirit Particles.

• Zhou Tong fed his hungry Kirin True Fate Dragon Tooth Rice as it cultivated with several Breathing Methods.
• Zhou Tong observed the Kirin True Fate’s slow progress for half a month and decided to create pollen catalysts.
• Zhou Tong reasoned that Spirit Particles came from the dispersed spirituality of past heroic spirits and gathered in spiritually rich mountains.
• Zhou Tong chose a divine mountain in his palace and sealed it off with a formation to contain any problems.
• Zhou Tong took out the Reincarnation Mirror, now able to wield it freely in his Immortal Emperor realm.

Zhou Tong used the Reincarnation Mirror to awaken Spirit Particles on his divine mountain, transforming its laws and plants. He tested a newly grown Awakening Fruit on an ordinary green python, which fell asleep as its body and soul began to change.

• Zhou Tong powered the Reincarnation Mirror to awaken Spirit Particles and witnessed scenes of past heroes and sages appear in its light.
• The divine mountain's heaven-and-earth laws changed, causing strange lights and fog to sweep across it.
• Most Spirit Herbs withered as weeds, trees, and some remaining Spirit Herbs mutated; Zhou Tong recognized the changes as the manifestation of Spirit Particles.
• Zhou Tong found a weed bearing a red Awakening Fruit and brought it to test on an ordinary green python.
• The python swallowed the weed and fruit, fell into a deep sleep, and began undergoing changes to its body and soul.

Zhou Tong tested how Spirit Particles and pollen affected a green snake, confirming that his divine mountain had become suitable for cultivating the Pollen Path. He then prepared to temper his Kirin True Fate toward the Golden Body realm inside his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

• Zhou Tong watched the green snake awaken larger and stronger, surrounded by poisonous mist that had emerged as its first divine ability.
• Zhou Tong led the snake to an exotic flower, whose pollen triggered a complete transformation before the flower withered.
• Zhou Tong concluded that the divine mountain could support the Pollen Path and examined its Exotic Soil and three Exotic Trees for his Kirin True Fate.
• Zhou Tong resolved to temper his Kirin True Fate to the Golden Body realm before exposing it to pollen, following the Pollen Path's strongest evolutionary route.
• Zhou Tong took his Kirin True Fate into the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings to cultivate with the treasures and controlled time there.

Zhou Tong studied the Pollen Path’s strongest cultivation system through his Kirin True Fate and realized it could complement the Sky Shrouding Method. After ten years of foundation-building, the Kirin began evolving with pollen, gaining a powerful physical and spiritual transformation as the flower withered into a golden seed.

• Zhou Tong observed his Kirin True Fate tempering its body through the Pollen System and learned how its Gate of Potential grew through repeated cycles of filling and release.
• Zhou Tong concluded that cultivating the Pollen Path before switching to the Sky Shrouding Method could combine their strengths and produce extraordinary combat power.
• The Kirin True Fate spent ten years cultivating in the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, reaching the Saint realm before refining its cultivation back to the Golden Body realm for a perfect foundation.
• Zhou Tong summoned the Kirin True Fate and sent it to the jade-green tree growing on a bluish-green stone, where a golden flower began to bloom.
• The Kirin True Fate used a Breathing Method to absorb the flower’s mist and fragrance, strengthening its body and beginning a qualitative transformation of its soul.
• The flower and little tree withered after the pollen was absorbed, leaving behind a radiant golden seed.

Zhou Tong paused the Kirin True Fate’s Pollen Path after it barely broke its first lock, then used Reflecting History to begin reviving King Pan through the Flat Peach Immortal Medicine. He planted the renewed seed and left King Pan’s return to life to his own fortune.

• The Kirin True Fate absorbed pollen from three trees and barely broke the first lock, revealing a portion of its altered Kirin Treasure Art.
• Zhou Tong decided to travel to High Heaven to seek the Pollen Path’s ancestral root and seed, but first chose to settle his debt to King Pan.
• Zhou Tong used the Flat Peach Immortal Medicine as a vessel and activated its nirvana with the resurrection method of Reflecting History.
• Zhou Tong found King Pan’s youthful imprint in the River of Time and placed it inside the renewed Flat Peach seed.
• Zhou Tong buried the seed in a protected garden, watered it with Divine Spring water, and watched a small sapling emerge.

Zhou Tong repaid the Golden Crow Clan’s karmic debt by restoring its lost inheritance, then traveled to the Kunpeng Ancestral Land to save the Kunpeng Ancestor. The chapter leaves Zhou Tong facing the Kunpeng Ancestor’s doubts about whether he can be rescued.

• Zhou Tong found the Golden Crow Great Emperor still hiding on Huosang Star and decided to repay the Golden Crow Clan’s karmic debt through its lineage.
• Zhou Tong created a stele inscribed with the Golden Crow Ancestor’s Heaven-Shrouding Immortal Burning Art and sent it to Huosang Star.
• Ye Fan recognized the stele as a scripture tailored to the Golden Crow Lineage, and the Golden Crows bowed in gratitude after unlocking it.
• Zhou Tong entered the Kunpeng Ancestral Land, redirected its defenses’ karmic recognition to the Kunpeng True Fate, and met the Kunpeng Ancestor’s phantom.
• Zhou Tong said he had come to save the Kunpeng Ancestor, but the Kunpeng Ancestor doubted anyone could rescue him safely.

Zhou Tong gave the Kunpeng Ancestor the secret method Boundless Immortality, allowing him to restore his shattered primordial spirit to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. The Kunpeng Ancestor began planning to recover further and attempt the Immortal Emperor breakthrough again.

• Zhou Tong explained that Quasi-Immortal Emperors could now use his Boundless Immortality method to return from destruction.
• The Kunpeng Ancestor swore not to reveal the method, and Zhou Tong bound him with oaths from multiple worlds before passing it to him.
• The Kunpeng Ancestor studied Boundless Immortality, and his primordial spirit healed from the Immortal King titan level to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.
• The Kunpeng Ancestor said he would recover gradually while reorganizing his Great Dao and later try to become an Immortal Emperor again.
• The Kunpeng Ancestor left his old body as nourishment for the younger Kunpeng lineage and formed a new body he could cultivate and adjust.

Kunpeng Ancestor told Zhou Tong about High Heaven and showed him an old passage leading there. Zhou Tong reopened it with his Immortal Emperor power, and voices from High Heaven began asking where the passage led and whether it had a number.

• Zhou Tong asked Kunpeng Ancestor whether he would return to High Heaven, and Kunpeng Ancestor agreed while urging Zhou Tong to go with him.
• Kunpeng Ancestor explained that Dao Ancestors had opened numbered passages to High Heaven and recalled that the numbers had reached 5369 when he left.
• Zhou Tong pointed out that Weird and Ominous had likely destroyed High Heaven, and Kunpeng Ancestor accepted that grim possibility.
• Kunpeng Ancestor gave Zhou Tong the coordinates of a passage he had opened, and Zhou Tong sent an incarnation to Kirin True Fate in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
• Zhou Tong and Kunpeng Ancestor reached the sealed passage, and Zhou Tong struck upward with Immortal Emperor power to reopen it.
• Voices from above noticed the newly opened passage and began checking where it led and whether it had a number.

Zhou Tong and Kunpeng Ancestor entered High Heaven, where Zhou Tong saw that its beautiful scenery was only a projection concealing ruin. Kunpeng Ancestor reunited with a descendant who was actually a dead person projected from history, but Zhou Tong chose not to reveal the truth.

• Zhou Tong suspected that the passage guards and their voices were projections, while Kunpeng Ancestor explained that High Heaven guarded its passages and repaired them naturally.
• Zhou Tong brought Kunpeng Ancestor through the passage and arrived in High Heaven, a realm few experts had ever reached.
• Kunpeng Ancestor rejoiced at the apparently unchanged homeland, but Zhou Tong saw through the illusion to the desolate ruins beneath it.
• A golden young man greeted Kunpeng Ancestor as his descendant, Little Golden, and Zhou Tong recognized him as a dead person projected from history.

Zhou Tong met Luo Tianxian, an Immortal Emperor who explained that High Heaven had been defeated by the strange and ominous several eras ago. She and Meng Hai were reenacting the past to revive fallen experts and restore High Heaven, and she revealed the truth to Kunpeng Ancestor.

• Kunpeng Ancestor wondered why Little Golden had made no cultivation progress, while Zhou Tong realized the young man was only a reflection from the River of Time.
• Luo Tianxian appeared before Zhou Tong, introduced herself, and explained that she had reflected people from history to help revive the dead.
• Luo Tianxian told Zhou Tong that High Heaven had lost to the strange and ominous, leaving her and Meng Hai as its only surviving Road's End Level Experts.
• Luo Tianxian thanked Zhou Tong for reviving Kunpeng Ancestor and explained that High Heaven's survivors reenacted the past alongside the reflected people to restore their fallen friends and family.
• Little Golden faded, prompting Kunpeng Ancestor to notice Luo Tianxian; she then explained High Heaven's defeat and revival efforts to him.

Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai explained that they were using reflected history to restore High Heaven after the Weird and Ominous destroyed it. Zhou Tong challenged their plan, warning that binding the survivors to the past could leave High Heaven without a future.

• Luo Tianxian told Kunpeng Ancestor that eighty percent of High Heaven's living beings had been sacrificed and that she and Meng Hai had reflected the present High Heaven from history.
• Luo Tianxian said a powerful Road's End expert from the lower realms had refused to help High Heaven, and Zhou Tong identified him as the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
• Meng Hai arrived and asked Zhou Tong whether he believed they had sacrificed their futures by restoring the past.
• Zhou Tong argued that reviving High Heaven would not defeat the Weird and Ominous and urged Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai to trust future generations to grow stronger.
• Zhou Tong realized that the survivors were reenacting the past within reflected history, leaving the living beings of High Heaven alive in body but bound to a lifeless past.

Zhou Tong questioned High Heaven’s plan to revive its fallen predecessors by projecting history, while Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai defended it as their fastest chance against the Weird and Inauspicious Race. Zhou Tong accepted their offer of an autonomous territory in High Heaven, hoping to study its land and use it within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

• Zhou Tong argued that High Heaven’s revival plan sacrificed the living’s future and said they should learn from their predecessors rather than bring them back.
• Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai explained that High Heaven lacked time to recover naturally and believed the enemy had also suffered losses.
• Meng Hai revealed that High Heaven had set aside a restricted region for those who trusted in later generations and had preserved profound teachings for them.
• Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai offered Zhou Tong an autonomous territory in High Heaven and asked him not to interfere with their plan.
• Zhou Tong accepted the offer, intending to study High Heaven’s land and possibly recreate a similar place within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

Zhou Tong accepted a territory in High Heaven and considered how to establish the Hegemon Body Lineage there. He began deriving a universal Sixth Secret Realm method for them, while recognizing it could limit their path to becoming Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

• Meng Hai showed Zhou Tong a map of High Heaven and explained how newcomers could claim territory by leaving handprints.
• Luo Tianxian offered Zhou Tong three handprints if he brought living beings to replenish High Heaven.
• Zhou Tong decided to bring self-sealed Great Accomplishment Hegemon Bodies and younger members of the lineage to settle in High Heaven.
• Zhou Tong began deriving a Sixth Secret Realm method that transformed Divine Forms into Latent Life, then True Life, and finally a secret realm.
• Zhou Tong realized the method suited the Hegemon Body Lineage but could constrain cultivators from becoming Quasi-Immortal Emperors, though they might still surpass it by forging their own paths.

Zhou Tong claimed a vast territory in High Heaven and learned that the Pollen Path’s ancestral tree had been destroyed, leaving only a lost seed and a dormant root whisker. After Zhou Tong promised to help defend High Heaven if he was present, Luo Tianxian gave him the root whisker, whose restoration depended on finding the seed.

• Zhou Tong marked a vast region on High Heaven’s map, and Immortal Emperor Meng Hai confirmed it would remain his territory as long as he lived.
• Kunpeng Ancestor said he planned to reorganize his Great Dao and attempt the Immortal Emperor breakthrough within ten thousand years, then join Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai’s revival plan.
• Zhou Tong asked about the Pollen Path’s ancestral root, and Meng Hai explained that the ancestral tree had been burned by the strange and the ominous, while its final seed was lost.
• Luo Tianxian showed Zhou Tong the ancestral root’s last surviving whisker and offered it in exchange for his promise to protect High Heaven’s surviving races if the strange and the ominous returned.
• Zhou Tong agreed to act if he was present, and Luo Tianxian gave him the root whisker, explaining that only the lost seed could restore it.

Zhou Tong purified the contaminated territory he had claimed in High Heaven, revealing the power of his Path of Fire to Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai. As he studied High Heaven’s abundant sacred substances, similar substances began to emerge within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

• Zhou Tong reached his claimed territory and found it deeply polluted by weirdness, ominousness, and deathly qi.
• Zhou Tong unleashed his Path of Fire, purifying the land and driving out the hidden Weird Matter beneath the earth and throughout the region.
• Luo Tianxian and Meng Hai recognized Zhou Tong’s fire path as a force that could restrain weirdness, and Meng Hai decided to give him the Chaos Mace, Myriad Tribulation Mirror, and Reincarnation Lamp.
• Zhou Tong finished cleansing the territory, transforming it into a region rich with immortal essence, auspicious qi, and radiant light.
• Zhou Tong analyzed High Heaven’s sacred substances and began manifesting similar substances inside his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

Zhou Tong used the Reincarnation Mirror to awaken the Pollen Path Ancestral Root’s soul imprint and discovered that Shi Hao had used the Pollen Path seed as a decoy while infiltrating the Weird and Ominous. The revelation left Zhou Tong worried that Shi Hao’s plan could prevent future generations from cultivating the Sky Shrouding Method and the other systems Zhou Tong might pass down.

• Zhou Tong tried to revive the Pollen Path Ancestral Root rootlet with his Immortal Phoenix True Fate’s Nirvana Divine Fire, but it did not work.
• Zhou Tong shone the Reincarnation Mirror on the rootlet, awakening its soul imprint and revealing a road associated with the Pollen Path.
• Zhou Tong witnessed images of the ancient battle between the Pollen Path and the Weird and Ominous, including a drop of Emperor Blood from Shi Hao.
• Zhou Tong realized Shi Hao had used the Pollen Path seed as a decoy and sealed the source of its contamination with his Emperor Blood.
• Zhou Tong concluded that Shi Hao had deliberately allowed the Secret Realm Method to be contaminated as part of his plan to infiltrate the Weird and Ominous, then worried that the plan could block future cultivation of the systems Zhou Tong passed down.

Zhou Tong discovered that Darkness Erosion was spreading through the Sky Shrouding Method and created a scripture and Emperor Blood barrier to protect the Hegemon Body Lineage. Shi Hao recognized Zhou Tong’s intervention but allowed it, while noting that the Hegemon Body descendants would soon enter High Heaven.

• Zhou Tong realized Darkness Erosion threatened the Hegemon Body Lineage and considered moving its members to High Heaven.
• He created a scripture for cultivating the Divine Forms of all races and infused runes with his Emperor Blood.
• Zhou Tong sent the runes into the Sky Shrouding Method, forming a barrier that blocked Darkness Erosion for his descendants.
• Hegemonic Blood cultivators across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands felt the pressure ease, and many broke through their realms.
• Shi Hao noticed Zhou Tong’s barrier, chose not to destroy it, and observed that Zhou Tong’s Dao had opened a new branch in the cultivation path.

Zhou Tong decided to withdraw his lineage from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to High Heaven after learning of Shi Hao's concealed plans. Through the Reincarnation Mirror, he witnessed the fallen Pollen Emperor and used his power to purify some of the darkness afflicting the Pollen Path, though he could not save her completely.

• Zhou Tong concluded that his bloodline could protect only the Hegemon Body Lineage from Darkness Erosion and chose to stop involving himself in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
• Zhou Tong resolved to move his lineage to High Heaven and turned his attention to the Reincarnation Mirror's vision of the Pollen Path.
• The Reincarnation Mirror showed the ruined Pollen Path, the fallen Pollen Emperor, and polluted spirits descending toward an abyss.
• Zhou Tong sent eight-colored divine light through the mirror, purified the spirits, and formed a road across the abyss.
• Zhou Tong's light burned away part of the darkness on the Pollen Emperor, but the effort faded before it could remove the Darkness Erosion completely.
