Chapter Summaries

The Azure Profound Lineage improved the Diamond Adamant Demon Rock Sect’s former territory, while Ling Pengyun oversaw the transformation of Demon Rock Mountain’s demonic vein into the clan’s first exclusive Fifth Grade High-Rank spiritual vein in the Heaven River Realm. Later, Ink-Black Demon Bees in the Shadow Secret Realm feasted on demonic-flower pollen and stored it to make honey.

• The Azure Profound Lineage tempered demonic veins, strengthened defenses, and improved mortal settlements, where villagers gradually trusted the new order and benefited from better harvests and spiritual-rooted descendants.
• Ling Pengyun watched Elder Xing Qing and Ling Penglin use the Heavenly Spirit Demon-Transforming Array to turn Demon Rock Mountain’s demonic vein into a Fifth Grade High-Rank spiritual vein.
• Ling Pengyun thanked Elder Xing Qing and Ling Penglin, then opened nine mu of Fifth Grade Mid-Rank spiritual fields and planted medicinal-herb and Talisman Star Grass seeds.
• Ling Penglin continued tempering other high-level demonic veins while Ling Pengyun opened more fields and planted seeds throughout the Diamond Adamant Demon Rock Secret Realm.
• In the Shadow Secret Realm, Ink-Black Demon Bees emerged from their hives and gathered pollen from blooming demonic flowers, carrying it back to brew honey before the flowers stopped blooming.

Ling Pengyun collected Diamond Adamant Demon Rock Honey, checked on the Ghost Immortal Lamp’s work cultivating Hundred Arts spirit ghosts, and returned to Demon Rock Mountain to refine the honey and prepare for a physique breakthrough. After consuming three Fifth Grade Mid-Rank Boundary Breaking Spirit Items, he began his attempt to reach Physique Nascent Divinity Late Stage.

• Ling Pengyun inspected the Demon Bees’ harvest, distributed the honey between the bees, the family treasury, and his own cultivation, and visited the Ghost Immortal Lamp and Ling Pengxing.
• The Ghost Immortal Lamp told Ling Pengyun that it expected to cultivate a Fifth Grade Hundred Arts spirit ghost within a few years and asked to buy some Fifth Grade Demon Rock Honey; Ling Pengyun agreed to sell it several jin.
• Ling Pengyun returned to the Azure Profound Realm to place honey in the clan treasury, then resumed secluded cultivation in Demon Rock Mountain while the Azure Profound Lineage secured its newly captured territory.

• Six months later, Ling Pengyun consumed three Fifth Grade Mid-Rank Boundary Breaking Spirit Items and began attempting to break through to Physique Nascent Divinity Late Stage.

Ling Pengyun broke through to the Spirit Transformation Late Stage in physical cultivation after enduring a tribulation and using its lightning to temper his body. He emerged from seclusion with greatly increased strength, though he still needed to improve his cultivation technique and upgrade his spirit treasure.

• Ling Pengyun drew in spirit energy at Demon Rock Mountain to attack the bottleneck in his physical cultivation while Yan Siyi and the Azure Profound Lineage's allies guarded his cave residence.

• Yan Siyi congratulated Ling Pengyun and offered him Fifth Grade High-Rank Emerald Blood Jade Medicinal Cuisine that she had prepared.

Ling Pengyun’s family discussed their cultivation, and Ling Cheng Mie advanced to the Nascent Divinity middle stage while Yan Siyi’s breakthrough attempt failed. Ling Cheng Mie and Ling Chengxia left the Diamond Secret Realm to hunt or capture powerful foes for resources, while Ling Pengyun secretly sent two Nether Hidden-Stab Spirit Ghosts to protect them.

• Yan Siyi and Ling Cheng Mie decided to strengthen their foundations for a few more years before attempting breakthroughs, while Ling Pengyun advised his children and entered seclusion.
• After several years, Yan Siyi failed to reach the Spirit Transformation late stage but avoided serious injury, while Ling Cheng Mie advanced to the Nascent Divinity middle stage and helped Turtle Great advance as well.
• Seeking more spirit treasures, Ling Cheng Mie proposed that he and Ling Chengxia hunt or capture demonic cultivators and members of the Demon Race for profit, and Ling Chengxia agreed.
• Ling Chengxia and Ling Cheng Mie left the Diamond Secret Realm to pursue their plan.
• Worried about the brothers’ safety, Yan Siyi watched as Ling Pengyun brought two Nether Hidden-Stab Spirit Ghosts to secretly follow and protect them.

The Golden Origin Immortal Sect and its allies besieged the Earth Fire Golden Scale Python Clan’s Earth Rock Mountain Range while the clan struggled to find help. Ling Chengxia and Ling Cheng Mie arrived and arranged for Ling Cheng Mie to tame captured demon beasts, then Golden Feather Old Dao Lord asked why the brothers had come without their companions.

• The Golden Origin Immortal Sect’s forces battered the Earth Rock Mountain Range’s defenses, while Di Huo Demon Lord and Demon Lord Di Gan learned that the Silver Moon Savage Bear Clan could not send reinforcements.
• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord and Geng Metal Dao Lord pressed the attack, aided by a Shining Star Immortal Sect expert whose Earth Vein Subversion Array weakened the stronghold’s defenses.
• Ling Chengxia and Ling Cheng Mie arrived near the battlefield and considered offering to tame Spirit Transformation demon beasts captured after the array fell.
• The brothers contacted Golden Feather Old Dao Lord and agreed that Ling Cheng Mie would tame Spirit Transformation demon beasts in exchange for Spirit Treasures.
• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord accepted the proposal and asked Ling Chengxia and Ling Cheng Mie why they had come without anyone else from the Azure Profound Lineage.

The Ling brothers accepted Golden Feather Old Dao Lord’s offer to assist other Golden Origin Immortal Sect armies, while Shining Star Dao Lord sought the Azure Profound Lineage’s help in breaking Yinxuan Valley’s defenses. Ling Pengyun and Star Sea Old Ancestor considered his generous rewards and called the lineage’s leaders to discuss whether to join the campaign.

• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord asked Ling Cheng Mie and Ling Cheng Xia to support other border assaults and promised them their gains plus rewards for killing powerful demon beasts; the brothers agreed and departed.
• Two concealed Nether Hidden-Stab Spirit Ghosts followed the Ling brothers and were relieved when they left the Earth Rock Mountain Range battlefield.
• At Yinxuan Valley, Shining Star Dao Lord and the Shining Star Immortal Sect’s battle formation pressed the defenses, but he judged that breaking through could take a century and sought help from other Righteous Path powers.
• After learning that the Azure Profound Lineage had destroyed the Diamond Adamant Demon Rock Sect, Shining Star Dao Lord contacted Ling Pengyun and Star Sea Old Ancestor and offered each a Shining Star Boundary-Breaking Pill and the prospect of high-grade Demonic Lands.
• Ling Pengyun and Star Sea Old Ancestor found the offer tempting but summoned the Azure Profound Lineage’s powerful cultivators to decide collectively.

The Azure Profound Lineage agreed to delay reinforcing the Shining Star Immortal Sect for ten years while its experts consolidated their gains. During the delay, Ling Pengyun reforged the Primal Chaos Axe into a fifth grade high-rank Spirit Treasure, and Yan Siyi began another attempt to reach the spirit transformation late stage.

• The Azure Profound Lineage agreed to send reinforcements in ten years so Ling Pengyun could reforge his Spirit Treasure, Elder Xing Qing could upgrade her natal formation, and the Lineage could stabilize its new territories.
• Ling Pengyun successfully reforged the Primal Chaos Axe on his fourth attempt, and the treasure weathered its tribulation to become fifth grade high-rank.
• Ling Pengyun tested the upgraded axe with Yan Siyi and found that his strength had risen enough to contend with spirit transformation full completion cultivators and overwhelm ordinary spirit transformation late stage cultivators.
• Ling Pengyun guided Yan Siyi's cultivation while she recovered from her previous breakthrough injuries.
• Yan Siyi entered secluded cultivation with four fifth grade high-rank Boundary Breaking Spirit Items to attempt the breakthrough to spirit transformation late stage again.

• Ling Pengyun and the Azure Profound Lineage forces reached Yinxuan Valley, where they joined the Shining Star Immortal Sect’s battle and moved to help breach the stronghold.

Elder Xing Qing, Ling Pengyun, and Yan Siyi joined the Shining Star Immortal Sect’s assault on Yinxuan Valley, giving their side a decisive advantage and allowing Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi to seize valuable enemy treasures. The battle continued with Yinxuan Valley under pressure, while Shining Star Dao Lord considered Ling Pengyun a growing threat but remained focused on destroying the Yinming Demon Sect.

• Elder Xing Qing activated the Azure Profound fleet’s powerful defensive and offensive arrays and directed its cultivators to join the assault on Yinxuan Valley.
• Ling Pengyun used his spirit treasures to fight three Spirit Transformation Late Stage enemies, while Yan Siyi’s treasure fire weakened their treasures and helped him seize four Fifth Rank Superior Grade treasures and eight Fifth Grade Mid-Rank treasures.
• Ling Pengyun gave half the captured treasures to Yan Siyi, and the two continued fighting together as Azure Profound and Shining Star experts praised their strength.
• Shining Star Dao Lord recognized Ling Pengyun’s exceptional potential and considered killing him, but he chose to focus on destroying the Yinming Demon Sect and using the Azure Profound Lineage against it.

As the Azure Profound Lineage and Shining Star Immortal Sect overwhelmed the defenders at Yinxuan Valley, Yinming Old Demon summoned the Yinming Corpse Ancestor, the Yinming Demon Sect’s powerful but nearly spent sect-suppressing Demon Corpse. The Corpse Ancestor entered the battle and drove back Ling Pengyun’s attacks, giving the defenders a chance to counter.

• The Silver Moon Bear Lord urged Yinming Old Demon to summon the Yinming Demon Sect’s Spirit Transformation Full Completion Demon Corpse before Yinxuan Valley fell.

• The Yinming Corpse Ancestor swept back Ling Pengyun’s Three-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon and other spirit treasures, easing pressure on the defenders.

Yinxuan Valley spent its hoarded spiritual resources to renew its assault, pushing the Azure Profound Lineage toward defeat. Ling Pengxing arrived with the Ghost Immortal Lamp and a powerful Spirit Ghost army, letting the Lineage’s experts turn on the Yinming Corpse Ancestor and begin trapping him.

• Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, the Star Sea Old Ancestor, Elder Xing Qing, and Old Daoist Zheng Yuan joined Ling Pengxing to attack the Yinming Corpse Ancestor.
• Ling Pengyun and the others trapped and restrained the Corpse Ancestor, seeking to kill him without letting him detonate his soul so they could use his demonic materials.

Ling Pengyun and the Azure Profound Lineage’s ghost forces overwhelmed the Yinming Corpse Ancestor while the Shining Star Immortal Sect held back the demons of Yinxuan Valley. After half a day of fighting, Ling Pengyun destroyed the Corpse Ancestor’s armor and badly wounded it, then unleashed two more self-detonating thunder flood dragons.

• Ling Pengxing led Spirit Ghosts into the battle, shocking both the demons in Yinxuan Valley and the Shining Star Immortal Sect army with the Azure Profound Lineage’s ghostly strength.
• Yinming Old Demon and the other demons tried to help the Yinming Corpse Ancestor, but Shining Star Dao Lord and the Shining Star Immortal Sect army blocked them.
• After roughly half a day of fighting, the Yinming Corpse Ancestor’s demonic power dwindled, its armor cracked, and its body began to suffer injuries.
• Ling Pengyun detonated his Azure Pine Dawn Radiance Thunder Flood Dragon, blasting away the Corpse Ancestor’s armor and severing one of its arms.
• Ling Pengyun launched two more thunder flood dragons that could self-detonate, and the Yinming Corpse Ancestor realized it was in danger.

Ling Pengyun and the Azure Profound Lineage defeated the Yinming Corpse Ancestor and pressed Yinxuan Valley’s fiends into a desperate retreat. The Silver Moon Bear Lord escaped the Shining Star Immortal Sect’s blockade, while the Yinming Old Demon remained trapped by Ling Pengyun’s forces.

• The Silver Moon Bear Lord used fifth rank Silver Moon Wheels to break through the Shining Star Immortal Sect’s restraints and escape, and the Shining Star Dao Lord went to assist against the trapped Yinming Old Demon.

Shining Star Dao Lord joined the Azure Profound Lineage in attacking the Yinming Demon Sect fleet, while Yinming Old Demon sacrificed his Demon Corpses in a desperate attempt to escape. The Azure Profound Lineage killed Yinming Old Demon and wiped out his fleet, but his fused Demon Corpse and Demon Sword remained trapped beneath Shining Star Dao Lord’s bell.

• Shining Star Dao Lord apologized to Ling Pengyun for failing to stop Silver Moon Bear Lord and offered to help kill Yinming Old Demon, then attacked the Yinming Demon Sect fleet.

Ling Pengyun and Azure Profound Lineage divided the spoils from Yinming Demon Sect’s defeat and secured Shining Star Immortal Sect’s promised pills and territory. Half a year later, Yinming Demon Sect had been eradicated, and the allied righteous factions began sweeping through the Western Demon Territory, trapping fleeing demonic cultivators.

He ended the chapter with six compatible Fifth Rank Superior Grade Realm Breaking Spirit Objects and planned to reach the peak of Spirit Transformation Late Stage.

• Golden Feather Old Dao Lord reflected on how the Righteous Path’s growing power and lack of demonic enemies could lead to conflict among its major forces.
• Shining Star Dao Lord oversaw the cleansing of Yin Ming Mountain’s demonic vein and returned to refine Realm Breaking Spirit Objects for potential Spirit Transformation Completion cultivators.
• After the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan remained quiet, Ling Pengyun resumed secluded cultivation and planned to develop his Verdant Pine Morning Dawn Thunder Serpent Great Divine Ability into a Five Elements Great Divine Ability.

• Ling Pengyun gathered six Fifth Rank Superior Grade Realm Breaking Spirit Objects and estimated that he could raise his spiritual energy cultivation to its peak within a hundred years.

Ling Pengyun welcomed the Ghost Immortal Lamp’s newly raised fifth-grade high-rank Mutated Panshi Ghost King and helped equip it with powerful Ghost Treasures. Later, Star Sea Old Ancestor began attempting to reach Spirit Transformation full completion under the Azure Profound Lineage’s protection, and his breakthrough was still underway as cracks formed in his bottleneck.

His breakthrough drew attention from across the Heaven River Realm, and Shining Star Dao Lord began planning to cultivate another completion-level powerhouse.
