Chapter Summaries

Xiao Heng and the other groups discovered that the Bodhi Ancient Tree guarded its Bodhi Heart with five Half Saint puppets. They organized into teams to fight the puppets, and the battle began.

• Xiao Heng sensed that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was influencing them with a sinister aura, and he and the others drove the invading emotions from their bodies.

• Xiao Heng proposed that his group, the Soul Clan, and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan each handle one puppet while the remaining fighters divided themselves between the last two.
• The five puppets attacked, and Xiao Heng, Hun Yu, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Bai Yang, and the other teams engaged their assigned opponents.
• Bai Yang stopped one puppet's attack with his golden spear, but a punch sent him flying as his teammates moved in to cover him.

Xiao Heng, Xiao Yan, and the other groups fought several Half Saint puppets until three of them fell, while two groups continued to struggle against their own opponents. Xiao Heng refused to help the white-haired young man’s team for now, leaving them to decide how to overcome their puppet themselves.

• The Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan defeated their puppets soon afterward, leaving two groups still fighting.
• Xiao Yan asked whether they should help the white-haired young man, but Xiao Heng told him to restore his Dou Qi and wait unless help became necessary.

After the puppets were defeated, Xiao Heng and Xiao Yan approached the Bodhi Ancient Tree and were pulled inside. Xiao Heng experienced an elaborate illusion of becoming invincible before realizing he was still trapped in the tree’s black space with Little Grass.

Xiao Heng helped the Bodhi Ancient Tree purge the negative emotions left by a fallen Dou Di and received Bodhi Seeds in return. After declining the first Bodhi Heart and missing the chance for enlightenment, he accepted a second one, completing his wood attribute and bringing his five elements together.

Xiao Yan awoke from the Bodhi Tree’s illusion having reached Ninth Revolution Peak Dou Zun, then collected the Bodhi Seeds the tree produced and shared them with most of the factions. Hun Yu and Jiu Feng received none and, unable to seize the seeds themselves, Hun Yu urged the other experts to join forces against Xiao Yan and his allies.

• Xiao Yan awoke after experiencing countless years in the illusion and revealed that he had reached Ninth Revolution Peak Dou Zun.

Old Yao arrived as a newly advanced Dou Sheng to protect Xiao Yan and Xiao Heng from the wounded Gu You, prompting the Soul Clan and Ancient Clan to summon their own Dou Shengs.

• Feng Shan consoled Jiu Feng as the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan party traveled through a Space Passage, unaware of the ambush ahead.

After waking, he reflected on the Bodhi Heart, his incomplete sword technique, and the strength he hoped to gain by completing all five elemental Attributes.

• Xiao Yan, Medusa, and the others finished off Jiu Feng and the remaining Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members after Feng Shan fell, then left after cleaning up the battlefield.

• Xiao Heng recalled his battle with Feng Shan and the powerful sword strike that had let him kill a Half Saint while still a Dou Zun.

Xiao Heng reassured Xiao Yan that the Bodhi Heart he obtained had always been meant for him, then revealed that he had a Bodhi Heart of his own. With Old Yao providing two top-grade Bodhi Pills and gathering further resources, Xiao Heng and Xiao Yan prepared to enter seclusion and aim for Dou Sheng.

• Xiao Yan told Xiao Heng that he had obtained a Bodhi Heart through the Bodhi Seed Xiao Heng gave him and worried he had taken Xiao Heng's opportunity.

• Old Yao continued seeking breakthrough resources while Xiao Heng and Xiao Yan settled their minds and prepared to enter seclusion.

Xiao Heng refined the Bodhi Heart to complete the five elements within his body, then began merging their powers into his organs and circulating them alongside his other abilities. After two and a half months of transformation, he opened his eyes amid a strange phenomenon that Old Yao concealed, and examined his newly changed body.

• Xiao Heng entered seclusion at Starfall Pavilion to prepare for a breakthrough and asked Her Majesty the Queen and Xiao Yi Xian to remain there under Old Yao's care.
• Xiao Heng refined the Bodhi Heart, completing a stable five-colored cycle of elemental powers in his qi sea and strengthening his cultivation method.
• At Little Grass's suggestion, Xiao Heng gradually merged the five elemental powers into corresponding organs, while his bloodline power, spirit power, and Sword Intent joined the circulation.

• Old Yao concealed the mountain peak from the disciples and watched over the transformation, which subsided after another half month.
• Xiao Heng opened his eyes with a Dao aura surrounding him, calmed his powers, and began examining the changes in his body.

After his physique transformed, Xiao Heng tested his greatly enhanced five-element powers and learned about the benefits and limits of his new abilities. He left the Little Grass Space stronger, with a divine ability still forming in his Third Eye and no name yet for his physique.

• Little Grass told Xiao Heng that his Third Eye was developing a powerful divine ability and warned him not to use it while it transformed.
• Xiao Heng discovered that his Dou Qi, body, dragon scales, and wings had all grown stronger, then postponed naming his new physique.

Little Grass prepared Xiao Heng to break through to Dou Sheng by giving him a coffin that could expose him to an immense passage of time and a Seven Absolutes Tree to aid his cultivation. Xiao Heng chose the risky shortcut and entered the coffin, beginning his breakthrough as the chapter ended.

• Little Grass explained that Xiao Heng needed insight into time, in addition to mastery of space, to break through to Dou Sheng.
• Little Grass showed Xiao Heng a coffin that could make him experience tens of thousands of years or more in an illusion while only three months passed outside, and warned him not to resist or forget his purpose completely.
• Xiao Heng chose to use the coffin rather than wait to gain insight naturally.
• Little Grass revealed that the Four Absolutes Tree Xiao Heng had planted had become a Seven Absolutes Tree, then attached it to his head so it could absorb his blood and connect with him.
• Little Grass told Xiao Heng to leave the Little Grass Space and enter the coffin in the outside world, where the laws would allow him to break through.
• Xiao Heng returned to the secret chamber, lay in the coffin, and closed its lid to begin his breakthrough to Dou Sheng.
