Chapters 1827–1851 Vol. 19 Read

Ch. 1827Mid-level Danger

The group chose to investigate the Xiong Family’s origins by capturing its Old Ancestor, Xiong Shimao, but Qu Jianlei’s divination warned that searching his soul would bring Mid-level Danger. As Paranoid and Yi He argued over who should do it, the group had yet to uncover the Small World’s secrets.

  • Jiao Daoren proposed targeting the Xiong Family because its long history and Foundation Establishment cultivators suggested it held valuable inheritances.
  • That night, Paranoid infiltrated Xiong Family Village, abducted Xiong Shimao, and brought him to a sealed stone cavern for questioning.
  • Jiao Daoren told Xiong Shimao about the Cultivation World and asked who had created the Small World, but Xiong Shimao demanded to know who had abandoned them there.

  • Paranoid volunteered to search Xiong Shimao’s soul, but Yi He insisted he would do it instead, questioning Paranoid’s skill.

Ch. 1828A Look for Ourselves

Yi He’s soul search revealed the Xiong Clan’s exile, its hidden ancestral shrine, and the mystery behind its generations of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Convinced the shrine held the Small World’s greatest secret and the source of the divination’s danger, Qu Jianlei’s group chose to investigate it together.

  • Yi He soul-searched the Xiong Clan’s descendant and learned the clan had been exiled to guard the Small World as atonement for its past.

Ch. 1829Eerie Ancestral Hall

Qu Jianlei and his team investigated Xiong Family Village’s ancestral hall and discovered a strange force inside Xiong Chumo’s memorial room. When Paranoid’s offering triggered a deadly chill and coercive pressure, Qu Jianlei released the Dao Stele, forcing the others into his Abode as the Stele’s aura clashed with the spreading Yin Cold Qi.

  • Qu Jianlei’s team chose to investigate the Xiong family’s ancestral hall after Xiong Shimao disappeared without drawing a response from the village.
  • The team entered Xiong Chumo’s private memorial room and sensed an isolation array and an unseen presence targeting them.
  • Paranoid offered incense and Xiong Shimao’s blood, triggering supernatural cold and coercive pressure from the statue.
  • Paranoid protected his soul with a talisman, which made the pressure stronger, so Qu Jianlei released the Dao Stele and its aura spread through the village.
  • Qu Jianlei sent the others into his Abode while he and Sunset Glow stayed outside as the Dao Stele’s aura fought the spreading Yin Cold Qi.
  • The clash alarmed Xiong Family Village, where villagers could not approach the ancestral hall and a child was reported unconscious.

Ch. 1830Exterminate Demons Completely

After killing a contaminated Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, the group realized the corruption extended beyond the family and prepared to form an exorcising formation.

  • Qu Jianlei demolished the Xiong ancestral shrine and excavated Xiong Chumo's grave, finding Heavenly Devil Qi on the coffin and corpse.
  • Qu Jianlei, Ruler, Sunset Glow, and Jiao Daoren discussed the spreading aura and prepared to use the Three Powers Exorcising Formation.

Ch. 1831Dramatic Changes in the Small World

Qu Jianlei and his team discovered that Heavenly Devil Qi had contaminated the entire Small World and watched its inhabitants descend into madness. They used Cloud Crown to collect nearly everyone, leaving one Qi Refining cultivator before Qu Jianlei appeared before him.

  • Paranoid and Qu Jianlei sensed Heavenly Devil Qi throughout the Small World, and the team decided to stay together and observe its effects.
  • After two days, the world's people had descended into chaos, and a cultivator reached the Golden Core Realm by devouring others; later, a spirit beast also advanced.

  • Qu Jianlei’s questions led Qu Shitong to learn that Xiong Chumo had caused the disaster, leaving him furious at the main branch of the Xiong Clan.
  • Qu Jianlei said Xiong Chumo’s corpse bore traces of Heavenly Devil Qi and announced that he would investigate the source of Xiong Chumo’s inheritance, alarming Qu Shitong because the trail could lead to the Qu Family’s ancestral shrine.

Ch. 1833The Dusty Past

Qu Jianlei and the others uncovered records in the Xiong Clan Progenitor's Grave revealing that the Small World sealed a weak point to the Heavenly Demon World. Worried the seal might have been compromised, they decided to investigate further by digging up graves belonging to the Qu Family branch.

  • Qu Jianlei decided that the group should keep digging up graves, and they turned from the Xiong Clan burial grounds to those of the Qu Family branch.
  • Paranoid dug up forty or fifty Qu Family graves without finding anything, and Jing Yuexin suggested collecting cultivation techniques instead.

Ch. 1834A Mouthful of Blood

Qu Jianlei and his companions searched the Small World for Heavenly Demons, discovered that contaminated spirit liquid had spread Heavenly Devil Qi, and began collecting it from a hidden underground Qi Eye.

  • Jing Yuexin collected and refined the Qi Eye's endless output, but the surge worsened the suffering of contaminated cultivators inside the Cloud Crown.
  • After ten days of relentless collection, Qu Jianlei used the seashell and Turtle Shell for a divination, then spat out blood.

Ch. 1835Choice

Qu Jianlei and his companions used the Broken Blade to destroy the Small World’s Qi Eye and stop the Heavenly Devil Qi from gathering. With more hidden corruption potentially remaining, they debated whether to leave the Small World untouched and cut off their connection to its karma.

  • Jiao Daoren killed Qu Shitong after the cultivator overheard the group speaking in the Empire’s language, and the companions agreed that his ties and potential luck made him a threat.
  • Qu Jianlei revealed that his divination showed the Broken Blade was needed to sever the Heavenly Devil Qi, while the Artifact Spirit offered to lend him power in exchange for spirit stones.
  • After Qu Jianlei recovered, he used the Broken Blade against the underground Qi Eye, and it vanished as the blade’s strike disturbed space.
  • Qinghu resumed gathering the Heavenly Devil Qi and cleared the area, but Qu Jianlei warned that corruption could still be hidden throughout the Small World.
  • The group discussed whether to claim the Small World, but Qu Jianlei refused to bear the karma attached to it, and the Artifact Spirit urged him to divine a way to sever their connection.

Ch. 1836Another Mouthful of Blood

Qu Jianlei and his companions used the Black Small Cauldron to purge Heavenly Devil Qi from the Small World and outer space, taking turns for more than two months. Exhausted but concerned that more contamination remained, Qu Jianlei asked the others whether they were sure they had cleared it all.

  • Jing Yuexin urged Qu Jianlei to divine again, and he used the seashell before bringing out the Black Small Cauldron.
  • Qu Jianlei explained that the Small Cauldron could refine Heavenly Devil Qi but required everyone to contribute spiritual energy; after he spoke carelessly about it, he spat out blood.
  • Paranoid began controlling the Small Cauldron, and the team sensed faint Yin Cold Qi gathering toward it as he struggled to refine the contamination.
  • Paranoid, Qinghu, Jing Yuexin, Jiao Daoren, Qu Jianlei, and Sunset Glow took turns for fifteen days and cleared the Heavenly Devil Qi from the Small World.
  • Qu Jianlei warned that Heavenly Devil Qi might remain outside the Small World, so the team continued refining it in outer space for another two months.
  • After the six cultivators were drained by the effort, Qu Jianlei asked Jiao Daoren, Yi He, Sunset Glow, and the others whether any Heavenly Devil Qi remained.

Ch. 1837The Suspicious Tribulation Lightning

After recovering from their expedition, Qu Jianlei's group left the Small World and returned to Dawn Base, where they learned that You You had survived her tribulation and advanced to Supreme. Qu Jianlei later returned to the Federation to recuperate, while Giant Axe Carving Flowers questioned the other Supremes about their expedition and Qu Jianlei prepared to use the World Piercing Shuttle.

  • The Artifact Spirit inspected Qu Jianlei's group for Demonic Qi, and Qu Jianlei's divination confirmed there were no remaining Heavenly Devil Qi eyes.

Ch. 1838Ran Into Each Other

Qu Jianlei discovered that the World Piercing Shuttle had gained durability but carried Heavenly Devil aura that could reveal its location, so he and Jing Yuexin planned to lead any danger into another world. After two months of preparation, the team arrived in Apollo and found signs that the Federation’s advance against the Asura might be suspicious; they teleported into the Link Nebula and spotted what appeared to be a Federation stealth vessel.

  • Qu Jianlei divined that the World Piercing Shuttle’s durability had increased, but it had been tainted by Heavenly Devil aura that could let powerful Heavenly Devils track it.
  • Jing Yuexin and Qu Jianlei agreed to take the shuttle to another world to divert any threat, and Jing Yuexin urged him to recuperate rather than perform more divinations.
  • Half a month later, Jing Yuexin brought the requested materials and reported that the team supported the plan; after two months, the members gathered and chose Apollo as their destination.
  • Hua Xiezhi and Yuanyuan learned that the Federation had recovered territory from the Asura, but Old Lady Jia suspected the reported advance might be a trap.
  • Qu Jianlei led the team to teleport into the depths of the Link Nebula, where Jia Shuiqing asked whether a nearby vessel was a Federation stealth vessel.

Ch. 1839Borrowing Again

Qu Jianlei and his companions watched a hidden Federation operation near the Asura Channel Entrance, deciding to wait no longer than a month before leaving.

Ch. 1840Still Imitating

Qu Jianlei and his team watched the Federation imitate the Flawed Portable Abode’s spatial attacks, then saw the Federation’s larger ambush unfold against the Asura. After the Federation committed Supremes to close combat, Qu Jianlei chose to leave, while Jia Shuiqing noted that the battle could make another infiltration easier.

  • The Federation used three starships to trigger weak spatial explosions and sent Division Level Ships to attack the Asura Nests while Qu Jianlei and his team watched from the Abode.
  • Qu Jianlei and Sunset Glow discovered that the Meteor they had left had exploded with a much stronger spatial burst, likely disrupting Asura teleportation for several days.
