• Jin Nuo revealed that no trainee had become a personal disciple of the Fallen Star Lake Master in over ten million years, leaving the new trainees stunned.

Lin Zhen celebrated entering the Holy Land’s Earth Class with his friends and learned that Feng Qingluan had entered another Holy Land’s Yellow Class.

• Lin Zhen declined Huang Zun’s invitation, then celebrated his selection with his supporters in Qin Kingdom.
• Lin Zhen learned that Feng Qingluan had entered Double Tree Garden Holy Land’s Yellow Class and heard her message that she would not lose to anyone by his side.

• Jin Nuo accepted the orders and looked toward the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower on Star Picking Island.

Lin Zhen and the newly admitted trainees traveled across Fallen Star Lake to Star Picking Island, where they learned about the Holy Land’s rules, costs, and hierarchy. The group reached the core area, where enormous stone tablets emerged through the morning mist.

• Lin Zhen parted from Ning Qingxuan, who stayed at the Alchemist Headquarters, and promised to visit her during his time in the Holy Land.
• A servant took the new trainees across Fallen Star Lake on a Blue Whale, passing through a teleportation gate that brought them eight billion light-years from the Qin Capital.
• The servant explained that trainees had to pay for transportation and that their status depended on their strength and progress in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.
• Lin Zhen told Huang Zun that the Holy Land’s Eternal Martial Artist servants had greater standing there, and Huang Zun fell silent after the servant warned him to stop talking.
• The trainees saw Qian Tong refining pills under Fifth Master’s hundred-year punishment, then followed the servant toward the stone tablets at the Holy Land’s core.

Jin Nuo led the new trainees through Star Picking Island’s class grounds and explained how the ancient steles and the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower worked. He left Lin Zhen with a Thorn Flower and encouragement, while Lin Zhen wondered whether the gift carried any meaning beyond a difference in customs.

• Jin Nuo showed the trainees the Wilderness Class steles, and one trainee learned that he could only carve away surface dust from them.
• Jin Nuo explained that reaching the twentieth floor of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower was required to inscribe a stele, and said fewer than ten of the newcomers could clear its first floor in one attempt.
• Jin Nuo separated the trainees by class as he led them upward, leaving each group at its own grounds and explaining its cultivation rules.
• Jin Nuo left the Earth Class trainees and gave Lin Zhen a Thorn Flower, telling him to persevere despite the difficult road ahead.
• Lin Zhen accepted the flower and privately wondered whether it was simply a rose by another name or had some other meaning.

Lin Zhen arrived at the Holy Land and watched the new Earth Class trainees compete for places at the stone tablets while he hid his true abilities. After spending a month appearing to study assorted techniques, he returned to begin formally comprehending Shadowless Steps.

• The Earth Class trainees learned that tablet rankings depended on sparring and that challenges were limited to Martial Artists who had cleared the same number of floors in the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.
• Huang Zun won two matches to secure a good place at the Swift Wind Steps tablet, while Lin Zhen avoided fighting because he was still weakened by the Divine Power Pill.
• Two trainees failed to clear the tower's first floor, whose guardian was a Three Flowers Initial Stage, Dark Gold Pinnacle Mind Power Master.
• Lin Zhen secretly chose the difficult Shadowless Steps tablet but first spent a month moving among various tablets to conceal his knowledge of Holy Land martial skills.
• Lin Zhen returned to the Shadowless Steps tablet and began his first formal cultivation session in the Holy Land.

Lin Zhen mastered the first pattern of the Shadowless Steps and began working on the second while students across the Holy Lands attempted the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower. Jin Nuo defended Lin Zhen’s prospects to the other caretakers and accepted Zhang Lang’s wager over whether Lin Zhen could clear three layers within ten months.

• Lin Zhen spent five days finding the exact technique for the first Shadowless Steps pattern, then began studying the more difficult second pattern.
• Lin Zhen took half a month to comprehend the second pattern as new students’ Tower challenges produced only ten successful first-layer clears.
• Jin Nuo discussed the new students with Zhang Lang, Fang Fei, and Feng Dao, who mocked Fallen Star Lake’s prospects and its admission of a World King.
• Jin Nuo praised Lin Zhen’s potential and predicted he could clear three or four Tower layers within a year.
• Zhang Lang wagered that Lin Zhen would fail to clear three layers within ten months, offering him access to the Freedom City stone stele if he succeeded; Jin Nuo accepted.

Zhang Lang and Jin Nuo wagered that Lin Zhen would clear three levels of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower within a year, while Machinery enlisted Huang Zun to hinder Lin Zhen’s cultivation. When Li Kai repeatedly disrupted Lin Zhen at the Shadowless Steps monument, Lin Zhen handed him a heavy bead that crushed him into the ground.

• Zhang Lang wagered with Jin Nuo that Lin Zhen would clear three tower levels within a year, offering monument access if Lin Zhen succeeded and asking for an Earth Class monument if he failed.
• Machinery gave Huang Zun rare tea and asked him to arrange interruptions that would keep Lin Zhen from comprehending monuments and lead to his demotion.
• Lin Zhen spent half a month studying the third diagram of the Shadowless Steps and planned to challenge the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower after mastering it.
• Li Kai repeatedly demanded that Lin Zhen leave the Shadowless Steps monument, then sat nearby to provoke him into attacking.
• Lin Zhen let Li Kai hold his crystal-clear bead, and its weight drove Li Kai into the ground, leaving a human-shaped crater.

Lin Zhen trapped Li Kai beneath his Neutron Divine Pearl and spent a month mastering the third diagram of Shadowless Steps. When Huang Zun arrived demanding to know Li Kai’s whereabouts and threatening to inspect Lin Zhen’s Inner World, Lin Zhen struck down a disciple who challenged him.

• Lin Zhen used his Neutron Divine Pearl to pin Li Kai in a deep pit, disguised himself with a mud figure, and resumed cultivating while Li Kai struggled to survive.
• Huang Zun mistook the mud figure for Lin Zhen and believed Li Kai had kept him occupied as a month passed.
• Lin Zhen mastered the third diagram of Shadowless Steps and practiced his swordsmanship and Spear Art in the Dimensional Arena.
• Huang Zun arrived with Senior Brother Ma and another Martial Artist, discovered the fake figure, and demanded to know where Li Kai was.
• Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma threatened to take Lin Zhen before Fifth Senior Brother and demanded he open his Inner World for inspection.
• When the other Martial Artist attacked, Lin Zhen evaded his sword with Shadowless Steps and knocked him unconscious with a punch.

Lin Zhen defeated Li Kai after escaping Huang Zun’s accusations, then went to the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower to challenge it. Jin Nuo arrived and revealed that even the Holy Land’s most powerful figures, including their teacher, had once felt unable to see the tower clearly.

• Lin Zhen showed Huang Zun and Senior Brother Ma that Li Kai had been trapped underground, then cut off Li Kai’s arm when Li Kai attacked him.
• Senior Brother Ma withdrew, while Huang Zun took his complaint against Lin Zhen to Jin Nuo.
• Jin Nuo dismissed Huang Zun’s accusation but said he would punish Lin Zhen, then went to meet him at the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.
• Lin Zhen stared at the tower and told Jin Nuo he had felt unable to see it clearly.
• Jin Nuo explained that the tower measured every Martial Artist’s strength and revealed that he, his senior brothers, and their teacher had felt the same way when they first saw it.

Jin Nuo explained the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower’s challenges and set Lin Zhen goals for clearing its layers, then ordered him to leave the Holy Land for ten months after a complaint from Huang Zun and others. Lin Zhen departed to find a compatible clone, while Qian Tong used the news of his exile to recruit friends against him.

• Jin Nuo told Lin Zhen that the tower’s opponents grew stronger in six-layer cycles and set goals of clearing five layers within a year, twelve within ten years, and twenty within a hundred years.
• Jin Nuo advised Lin Zhen to obtain a compatible Star River Beast clone and offered him a dolphin to use for travel between the Holy Land and the outside.
• Jin Nuo punished Lin Zhen for allegedly disrespecting the ranked venerables by exiling him for ten months, but secretly sent him a recording of the Shadowless Steps stone monument for continued study.
• Lin Zhen set his sights on clearing six layers within a year, then left the Holy Land to seek a clone.
• Huang Zun and the others celebrated Lin Zhen’s exile, while Machinery expected his demotion and Qian Tong contacted friends to target him outside the Holy Land.

Lin Zhen traveled to the Qin Kingdom Continent to visit the Fire Qilin Clan, while Elder Qin prepared a plot to kill Saga and seize the clan leadership. As Lin Zhen entered Sky Ridge, a powerful mutated Holy Light Dragon Martial Artist intercepted him.

• Lin Zhen left the Holy Land, crossed Fallen Star Lake, and headed for the Fire Qilin Clan without disturbing Xuan'er, who was cultivating.
• Elder Qin gathered Qin Dong, Ke Xiangdong, Ke Xiangnan, and four disgraced Qilin Martial Artists from other branches to lure Saga into a trap and kill him.

• A Peak Three Flowers mutated Holy Light Dragon Martial Artist arrived at near-light speed and confronted Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen escaped a powerful Light Dragon Martial Artist sent by Qian Tong and continued toward the Qilin Clan, while Saga prepared to meet Elder Qin. Lin Zhen reached the Fire Qilin territory and was stopped at its Sacred Mountain.

• A Light Dragon Martial Artist attacked Lin Zhen for Saint-Grade Pills, but Lin Zhen used his techniques and a long-range teleport to escape.
• The Light Dragon Martial Artist tracked Lin Zhen's lingering aura, but Lin Zhen's irregular route and repeated teleports made the pursuit difficult.

• Saga told his advisor that Lin Zhen was coming and asked the advisor to receive him if Saga had not returned.
• Lin Zhen reached the Fire Qilin Clan's volcanic territory, where a Fire Qilin ordered him to stop at the Sacred Mountain.

Lin Zhen visited the Fire Qilin Clan’s sacred mountain and discovered Landis’s Spear, a legendary weapon embedded in a World Stone. He tried to pull it free but learned that its Four Element Flower neutralized his strength, leaving him unable to claim it.

• Lin Zhen entered the Fire Qilin Clan’s headquarters and examined the statues commemorating its legendary members, including the Black Hole Beast Moka and the four-element mutant Landis.
• Lin Zhen found Landis’s Spear embedded in a World Stone outside the Fire Palace and learned that Landis had used it to defeat Absolute Demon God before dying.
• Lin Zhen asked a young Fire Qilin whether clan members could try to pull out the spear and, after learning he was eligible, climbed onto the stone to attempt it.
• Lin Zhen poured all forty-eight million of his Star Power into pulling the spear, but it did not move because a Four Element Flower within it neutralized his strength.
• Lin Zhen realized that only a four-element mutant could overcome the spear’s elemental protection, and he regretted that he could not claim the weapon.

Lin Zhen learned he could not pull the ancient spear free and hurried to Elder Qin’s residence after sensing a dangerous aura there. An hour earlier, Elder Qin had lured clan leader Saga into a trap, and the chapter ended as he activated a blood-red barrier around Saga and the four Kirin envoys fighting him.

• Lin Zhen failed to pull out the spear, then set off to find Saga at Elder Qin’s residence.
• Elder Qin welcomed Saga and envoys from the Ink Kirin, Water Kirin, Wind Kirin, and Gold Kirin races to a banquet.
• Elder Qin accused Saga of failing the Fire Qilin Clan and demanded that Saga surrender his clan leader position.
• Elder Qin revealed that the four envoys were hired assassins, but he jumped away as they attacked Saga.
• Saga transformed into a Fire Qilin, coated himself in blood poison, and fought off the four envoys.
• Elder Qin pulled a lever that raised a blood-red barrier around the battle and said he would refine the five fighters together.

Lin Zhen stormed Elder Qin’s estate after sensing Saga was near death, killing the Ke brothers and Qin Dong on his way to the platform. He arrived as Elder Qin prepared to turn the dying Qilins into a Super Kirin avatar, and confronted him with a warning that he would not survive.

• Elder Qin explained to Qin Dong that the Spirit Gathering Array would combine the Five Elements from the dying Qilins into a Super Kirin body for his avatar.
• Lin Zhen killed the guards at Elder Qin’s estate, then seized and killed Ke Xiangnan and Ke Xiangdong.
• Lin Zhen killed Qin Dong with a Mental Evil Spirit Cone and hurried through the Fire Tree forest.
• Lin Zhen found four Qilins dead and Saga barely alive on the platform while Elder Qin taunted Saga and described his plan to make an avatar from the Qilins’ bodies.
• Lin Zhen told Elder Qin that he would not live to see Saga’s final outcome.

Lin Zhen defeated Elder Qin and received the Fire Qilin Clan leadership from the dying Saga. He then used Elder Qin’s formation and the Perfect Crystal to create a powerful Five Element Fire Qilin Clone, whose awakening began at the chapter’s end.

• Lin Zhen subdued Elder Qin with Soul Lock and ordered him to replace Saga on the formation platform, where the blood mist killed him.
• Lin Zhen tried to save Saga, but Saga was beyond help and passed him the Fire Qilin Clan’s Golden Seal.
• Saga announced across the Dimensional Universe that Lin Zhen was the new clan leader, then died after asking him to protect the clan.
• Lin Zhen froze Saga’s body for burial in a volcano and stepped onto the platform to claim the forming clone.
• Lin Zhen infused the clone with his blood and created a six-bloodline body with a Four Element Flower and eighty million star power.
• The Perfect Crystal entered the clone’s mind, and a diamond-shaped mark appeared on its forehead as its awakening began.

Lin Zhen discovered his new avatar’s powers and tested its devastating elemental attacks before announcing himself as the Fire Qilin Clan’s new master. He sent his original body into his Inner World to cultivate while the avatar remained outside to lead the clan.

• Lin Zhen’s avatar became a Super Divine Body and gained Attach Metal and the ability to fire a powerful elemental beam, which he named the Kirin Cannon.
• Lin Zhen tested the avatar’s elemental bullets, destroying Elder Qin’s firewood forest and estate, and named the attack the Kirin Gun.
• Lin Zhen awakened the avatar’s Five-Colored Kirin form, and its roar, together with his original body’s Black Hole Beast form, announced his rule to the Fire Qilin Clan.
• Lin Zhen gave the avatar the clan’s Golden Seal, the Severing Sky Divine Sword, and other items, then entered his Inner World to cultivate.
• Lin Zhen picked up Saga’s frozen corpse and ordered the Fire Qilin Clan members to gather before the Fire Palace.

After Lin Zhen became leader of the Fire Qilin Clan, Qian Tong assembled a force to kill him before he could secure his position. As the mercenaries marched toward the clan, resentful elders prepared to use the attack to drive Lin Zhen out.

• Qian Tong berated Light-Electric for failing to intercept Lin Zhen, then ordered him to wait near the Fire Qilin Clan for reinforcements.
• Qian Tong recruited ten loyal Three Flowers Martial Artists, more than ten thousand Eternal Martial Artist mercenaries, and four Star River Beast experts to kill Lin Zhen.
• Mercenaries eagerly accepted the lucrative mission and set out from Qin Capital for the Fire Qilin Clan.
• The Fire Qilin Clan's elders learned that mercenaries were coming and saw the attack as a chance to remove Lin Zhen as clan leader.
• An elder called on his fellow elders to drive Lin Zhen out before he brought disaster upon the clan.
