Chapter Summaries

Shi Yuehan sent Silver Wing to protect Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu on their trip to Jiang City, then sent Golden Wing with a Twelfth-Order Fire Flame Crystal after learning Uncle Lin had already given one to Shi Jiu. Outside Bin City, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu captured Silver Wing, who revealed that he had been ordered to monitor the supposed son-in-law.

• Shi Yuehan learned that Shen Yan and Lu Pin had left Bin City in an RV and ordered Silver Wing to follow and protect Shi Jiu while watching Jiang Fu.
• Shi Wu warned Shi Yuehan that Shi Jiu might capture Silver Wing and demand ransom, so Shi Yuehan called him but could not connect.
• Shi Wu said Uncle Lin had given Shi Jiu a Twelfth-Order Fire Flame Crystal, prompting Shi Yuehan to send Golden Wing to deliver another one and then warn him to keep his distance.

• Silver Wing revealed that he had come on Shi Yuehan's orders to protect Shi Jiu and monitor Jiang Fu, and Lu Pin warned Jiang Fu that opposing his future father-in-law could endanger his marriage plans.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu waited with their disguised companions for Golden Wing, while Lu Pin exposed Shen Yan’s hidden thoughts and tested his new defensive Sequence Item. Jiang Fu then tried to recruit the horrified Silver Wing into the Bearded Pirate Crew as “Silverbeard.”

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu agreed they would steal Shi Jiu’s household registration book when needed, and Silver Wing realized they were the Bearded Pirate Crew behind the Principal’s stolen treasury.
• Jiang Fu gave Lu Pin the green Wood’s Protection token and gave Shen Yan a purple defensive Sequence Item, prompting Lu Pin to accuse Shen Yan of secretly resenting the gift.
• Shen Yan attacked Lu Pin, but Wood’s Protection formed a barrier around Lu Pin; Lu Pin eventually admitted he had been tormenting Shen Yan on purpose.
• Jiang Fu asked when Golden Wing would arrive, then offered Silver Wing a place in the Bearded Pirate Crew as Silverbeard and threatened to reveal the Principal’s involvement.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu plotted to blame Tianhuang Martial Arts University’s Principal, Old Deng, for declaring war on Lingyue Pavilion, while Silver Wing and Shen Yan were drawn into the scheme. After Golden Wing arrived with two twelfth-order fire flame crystals, Jiang Fu knocked him unconscious and prepared to set off for Lingyue Pavilion.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to claim Old Deng had organized the Bearded Pirate Crew and transferred the university’s assets to prepare for war with Lingyue Pavilion.

• At Villa No. 777, Shi Yuehan sneezed during a video call.

Shi Yuehan learned that Golden Wing had taken two Fire Flame Crystals and urged Shi Wu to tell Shi Jiu about the Sikong Clan’s joint venture with Lingyue Pavilion.

• Shi Yuehan dismissed Sikong Yi’s complaint about the stolen Fire Flame Crystals and learned that Golden Wing had not replied about Silver Wing.
• Shi Yuehan told Shi Wu that Evergreen Pills Company was a joint venture between the Sikong Clan and Lingyue Pavilion, prompting Shi Wu to message Shi Jiu.
• Shi Wu received a message from Lanlan inviting him to watch her cat do a yoga dance, and Shi Yuehan learned Shi Wu had already told Shi Jiu the information came from him.

Shi Jiu returned to her clingy childhood demeanor with Jiang Fu, while Shen Yan recruited Lu Pin and set him to investigate the Evergreen Elixir Group, the Sikong Family, and Lingyue Pavilion. As their hidden RV traveled safely past Mutated Beasts, Lu Pin asked for training and learned that a Sequence Pharmacist would help him become Transcendent.

• Shi Jiu nestled in Jiang Fu’s arms and fell asleep as Golden Wing and Silver Wing remembered how she had depended on Professor Yun as a child.

Shi Jiu urged him to refine both Blood Energy and Spirit Power at once and reach the Return-to-Truth Realm directly, while Shen Yan and Lu Pin reacted with shock.

• The motorhome reached desolate Jiang City after seven days on the road, and Lu Pin eagerly called for a hotel and rest.
• Jiang Fu used the Eye of Deception to disguise Shen Yan and Lu Pin as Golden Wing and Silver Wing, and their badges let the motorhome pass through the Defense Wall.

• Shi Jiu explained the four Transcendent realms and said Jiang Fu could refine his Blood Energy and Spirit Power together to skip Mortal Transcendence and reach Return-to-Truth directly.
• Shen Yan realized Jiang Fu had helped him gain the potential to become Transcendent, while Lu Pin marveled at Jiang Fu's progress and remarked that he had already beaten the Realm Beast.

Shen Yan’s group entered Jiang City District Eleven, where the population had dwindled amid the threat of a Tier 5 Spirit Fruit Tree. Jiang Fu revealed he had bought the Dunxi Hotel in Silver Wing’s name, and the group arrived to finalize the deal with Silver Wing trying to lower the price further.

• Shen Yan’s group traveled through Jiang City District Eleven and saw its largely abandoned streets as authorities evacuated residents after thirteen Transcendents died.

• Silver Wing signed the contract and told the manager the staff could stay while management left, then offered only ninety-eight thousand for the hotel.

Shen Yan bought Dunxi Hotel for 998 and led the group to Jiang City District One, where Evergreen Group’s role in supplying the fight against the Tier 5 Spirit Fruit Tree complicated their plans.

• With Shi Jiu's guidance, Jiang Fu formed his qi sea and consciousness sea, stabilized his breakthrough, and absorbed his three Sequences into his consciousness sea.
• Jiang Fu examined his upgraded abilities and told Shi Jiu that they would sneak up on Transcendents together to knock them out.
• Jiang Fu asked to appraise the female ghost, and Shi Jiu brought out the Spatial Maze imprisoning her.
• Jiang Fu identified the female ghost as a Domain Demon, and his fifth System Screen revealed her name as Ying Sui and stated that she had to be completely annihilated to die.
• The Domain Demon tried to attack Jiang Fu mentally and threatened to escape, so Jiang Fu explained its weakness and Shi Jiu suggested Spatial Annihilation.

Jiang Fu strengthened the Spatial Maze to keep a Domain Demon trapped, then learned that Yu Jin of the Ling Family had taken the bait in his auction scheme. After discovering that Third Young Master Ling Chu was targeting him, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu prepared to strike back.

• Jiang Fu questioned why Ling Chu was targeting him, and Shi Jiu urged him to treat the Ling Family as enemies and wipe them out.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu rejected Ling Chu’s hostility while accepting the Jiang Family’s overture, then spent the night together as their Extreme Dao Star Gazing Charts and Starfalls merged. Meanwhile, the Colorful Beard Crew raided the Evergreen Elixir Group’s laboratory, leaving Sikong Yi watching helplessly as they seized its pills and captured Sikong Zhao.

• Shen Yan told Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu that Ling Chu’s subordinate Yu Jin had contacted him, while Jiang Wuchou had offered seven Twelfth-Order Fire Flame Crystals to save them.

Their actions drew attention from the Kill Hu Alliance and brought Shi Wu satisfaction over his grandparents’ deaths, while Shi Yuehan demanded that he return.

• Yellowbeard and Redbeard demanded a ransom from Sikong Yi for Sikong Zhao, then killed Sikong Zhao when Sikong Yi refused to pay.
