Chapter Summaries

Shi Jiu used the God of Fishing to bring her grandfather Ning Chengfeng back, then reunited him with Yun Luoyu and Ning Ranxin inside the Life-and-Death Boundary Star Disk. Jiang Fu explained that they needed to build hell to restore Ning Ranxin and help the grandparents cultivate again, while the reunited family began catching up on what had happened.

• Shi Jiu fished Ning Chengfeng out of the afterlife, and he scolded her and Jiang Fu before recognizing Yun Luoyu and Ning Ranxin.
• Ning Chengfeng tried to touch Yun Luoyu, but she grabbed his ear for scolding Shi Jiu and reminded him that Shi Jiu had saved him.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu concluded that they needed to build hell to restore Ning Ranxin’s soul fragment and allow Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu to cultivate again.
• Ning Chengfeng mistook Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu’s disguises for signs that Shi Jiu had become a delinquent, so they removed their wigs and fake beards and explained who they were.
• Jiang Fu gave Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu phones to look up their recent history, and Ning Chengfeng was astonished to discover that Shi Jiu was a pirate.

Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu learned that the Human Forbidden Zones and Lingyue Pavilion might hold the records and resources needed to create Hell. They decided to raid the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone and Lingyue Pavilion, leaving with their pirate crew ready to strike openly.

• Ning Chengfeng discovered that Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu were the infamous Yellowbeard and Redbeard, while Yun Luoyu reassured him that Jiang Fu would keep Shi Jiu safe.
• Shi Jiu explained that she did not know how to create a true Hell, so Jiang Fu proposed searching the Human Forbidden Zones for records about the Hell Sequence and Ghost Cultivation.
• Jiang Fu used the Stone to confirm that the Six Human Forbidden Zones and Lingyue Pavilion contained records about Hell, then declared that they would rob them.
• Mei Youqian and Long Batian returned after finding no other living creatures nearby, and Jiang Fu proposed raiding the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone in the Skyvault Desert.
• Long Batian insisted that the crew raid openly and also destroy Lingyue Pavilion, and Shi Jiu agreed with her plan.

The Mist Lord and Xing Jun learned that Lingyue Pavilion’s headquarters had vanished, while Jiang Fu and his crew targeted a secret laboratory in the Skyvault Desert. They charged the camp with the Hundred-Ton King, leaving it flying from the impact.

• The Mist Lord and Xing Jun discussed the dead Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python, Jiang Fu, and Shi Jiu, and resolved to capture and dissect them.
• The Mist Lord and Xing Jun confirmed that Lingyue Pavilion’s headquarters had disappeared, leaving them isolated in the broken world.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu reached a Lingyue Pavilion camp and detected around three hundred martial artists, including 103 Transcendents.
• Mei Youqian accelerated the Hundred-Ton King toward the camp while Long Batian activated Melee Berserker and Jiang Fu applied Multiply by Ten to the truck.
• The Hundred-Ton King struck the camp, sending the entire Lingyue Pavilion Martial Artist Camp flying.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that the Martial Artist Camp was the High-grade Heavenly Rank Raging Sand Fortress and attacked it, only for Lingyue Pavilion to activate a misty sequence-forbidden formation. The formation suppressed Mei Youqian and Long Batian, while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu remained unaffected; Shi Jiu then spotted a charred Rubik's Cube in the desert.

• Jiang Fu identified the flying Martial Artist Camp as the High-grade Heavenly Rank Raging Sand Fortress, and he and Shi Jiu decided to capture it.
• The camp's High Celestial Transcendent recognized Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu as Redbeard and Yellowbeard, reported the invasion to the Mist Lord, and activated the node's formation.
• Raging Sand Fortress transformed into a vast fortress as grayish-white mist spread across the surrounding desert.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu found that the mist suppressed ordinary cultivation and sequences, but their divine sequences resisted its effects.
• Mei Youqian and Long Batian panicked when their cultivation and sequences were suppressed, then activated the Bearded Pirates' defensive sequence items.
• Shi Jiu reactivated Evasion and spotted a familiar, charred Rubik's Cube in the desert.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that the monsters attacking Raging Sand Fortress were corpses transported through folded space by a Spatial Sequence Divine Artifact. They traced the spatial link to the Castle in the Skyvault Desert, but only Xing Jun was pulled to the fortress as the Mist Lord escaped.

• Jiang Fu identified the tentacled Rubik’s Cube as the Space Cube, a burned Spatial Sequence Divine Artifact, and recognized the monsters it summoned as corpses from a Cage World.
• The corpses attacked Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, while Mei Youqian and Long Batian remained helpless with their Sequences and Martial Arts sealed.
• Shi Jiu used Space-Time King and the Hell Sequence to pin and reverse the Space Cube, pulling the monsters’ true forms into the mist and stripping away their realms and Sequences.
• Jiang Fu used Feng Shui Master to reveal that Raging Sand Fortress was a Formation Node through which the Space Cube folded distant locations together.
• Jiang Fu guided Shi Jiu in folding the space around the Castle toward them; the Mist Lord escaped as Xing Jun was transported to Raging Sand Fortress.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu trapped Xing Jun at Raging Sand Fortress, where the Formation repeatedly sealed and restored his powers before shutting down for good. Xing Jun then tried to capture them with his Punisher Sequence, but their evasion and seemingly endless Abyss Potion left him stunned.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu displaced Raging Sand Fortress to its thirty-sixth Formation node, where they found Xing Jun trapped by the Sequence-Forbidden Domain.
• Xing Jun ordered the Formation shut down, but it repeatedly restarted until the Lingyue Pavilion leaders removed its Energy Sources and stopped it for good.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu attacked Xing Jun, who countered with his Punisher Sequence and Abyss Potion-powered Heavenly Punishment Chains.
• Xing Jun's chains and the Monsters' attacks repeatedly missed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, despite his raising the chains' capture rate to one hundred percent.
• Xing Jun prepared more Abyss Potion, but Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu revealed person-sized jars of it, and Jiang Fu poured his jar onto the sand.

Xing Jun revealed his High God power and attacked Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, but their evasion items and the Bearded Pirates’ defenses thwarted him. The chapter ended as Xing Jun turned his full force on Long Batian and Mei Youqian.

• Xing Jun recognized Jiang Fu’s discarded liquid as exceptionally pure abyss potion and resolved to test the pirates’ supply of energy sources.
• Shi Jiu revealed a god-tier fire flame crystal vein, and Xing Jun realized Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu posed a threat to the world’s human population.
• Xing Jun broke the seal on his power and unleashed his High God might, but his attack on Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu missed.
• Xing Jun’s divine might crushed the monsters around Raging Sand Fortress, while Long Batian and Mei Youqian remained unharmed behind their defense items.
• Xing Jun noticed the two pirates’ barriers withstood his divine might and punched toward Long Batian and Mei Youqian.

Jiang Fu, Shi Jiu, Long Batian, and Mei Youqian endured Xing Jun’s assault with their powerful standard-issue defenses, then used Jiang Fu’s Taunt Sequence to lure Xing Jun into the Spacetime Boundary Star Disk. Xing Jun realized too late that he had walked into a trap.

• Xing Jun’s full-strength strike blasted Raging Sand Fortress aside but failed to harm Long Batian and Mei Youqian, whose defenses left him stunned.
• Xing Jun attacked all four pirates, trying to exhaust their Energy Source and seize their Sequence Items, but their evasion and defenses showed no signs of weakening.
• Xing Jun decided to retreat before Youlan arrived, but Jiang Fu’s Taunt Sequence forced him to charge at Jiang Fu instead.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu concluded that Lingyue Pavilion’s other forces would not appear, then opened the Spacetime Boundary Star Disk and stepped inside.
• Despite recognizing the trap and desperately wanting to flee, Xing Jun followed Jiang Fu into the Spacetime Boundary Star Disk.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu cornered Xing Jun in the Spacetime Boundary Star Disk, where his Sequences were sealed, and revealed their overwhelming power. Xing Jun learned that Ning Chengfeng, Yun Luoyu, and Ning Ranxin had returned as Yin Spirits and Ghost Creatures, then Jiang Fu handed him over to the family to test a new punishment.

• Xing Jun found his Sequences sealed in the Spacetime Boundary Star Disk and attacked Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu with his wind-and-fire power.
• Shi Jiu shattered Xing Jun’s attack with a yawn, and Jiang Fu’s glare sent him flying and revealed himself as an Overlord.
• Xing Jun taunted Shi Jiu about killing Ning Chengfeng, Yun Luoyu, and Ning Ranxin, believing they were dead for good.
• Ning Chengfeng, Yun Luoyu, and Ning Ranxin appeared through a spatial fissure as Yin Spirits and Ghost Creatures, leaving Xing Jun stunned.
• Jiang Fu sealed Xing Jun’s Divine Power and Sequence, reduced him to an Advanced Martial Artist, and gave him to Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu to test a new punishment.

Jiang Fu gave Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu Fishing Rods that could bring back the dead, while Shi Jiu urged her grandparents to go to Hell with her mother and become ghost gods. After Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu returned with Xing Jun, Xing Jun mistakenly credited Youlan with secretly backing them, and the Mist Lord realized Lingyue Pavilion's headquarters had vanished.

• Jiang Fu gave Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu two Fishing Rods, and Yun Luoyu decided to use them to try to bring back their old friends.
• Shi Jiu insisted that Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu take Ning Ranxin to Hell to become ghost gods, while Ning Chengfeng said the living should handle revenge.
• Jiang Fu carried Xing Jun out of the World Star Disk with Shi Jiu, and they returned to the Skyvault Desert.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu praised Youlan as their indispensable supporter, confusing him and leading Xing Jun to believe Youlan had secretly arranged their victory.
• A wisp of gray mist escaped beneath Xing Jun, and the Mist Lord accused Youlan of supplying high-grade items before discovering Lingyue Pavilion's headquarters had disappeared.

The Mist Lord headed for the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone after deciding Lingyue Pavilion needed to strike before Youlan’s forces grew stronger. Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu exposed Youlan as the supposed mastermind, then continued toward home with Xing Jun in tow, where Shi Jiu turned a rigged school-name vote into ten official names for Miners University.

• The Mist Lord watched Xing Jun’s capture through her lingering wisp of mist, then set off for the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone to confront the threat from Youlan.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu moved the castle and Raging Sand Fortress into the Spatial Maze, expelled the Lingyue Pavilion martial artists, and loaded them into the Hundred-Ton King’s shipping container as miners.
• Youlan realized Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu had made him the scapegoat for the Bearded Pirate Crew and promised his true self would come explain matters the next day.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu camped in the desert, returned to the Wind Feather Laboratory to sleep, and found Youlan playing Mahjong with the Abyss Mother Tree, Moonheart Bamboo, and the Spirit-Devouring Fruit Tree.
• The next day, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu relaxed atop the Hundred-Ton King while Xing Jun was dragged behind it, and Shi Jiu discovered that all ten Miners University name options had tied in the vote.
• Jiang Fu suggested keeping all ten names, and Shi Jiu confirmed the Ministry of Education had no rule against it as a Martial Artist Squad watched them fishing in the desert.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu headed for Mercyfire Forbidden Zone after Long Batian captured the Heaven Squad. At the forbidden zone, Mu Qingshuang protected them from a Li Country powerhouse and revealed that she was Shi Jiu’s great-grandmother.

• The Heaven Squad attacked Jiang Fu and Long Batian, but Jiang Fu redirected their charge toward Long Batian, who defeated and captured all seven.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to attack Li Country’s forces in the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone, while Li Country’s allies agreed to join forces against Xia Country.

• Mu Qingshuang revealed that she was Shi Jiu’s granny and explained that a powerful Li Country figure had stopped her from helping Ning Ranxin, Ning Chengfeng, and Yun Luoyu.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu agreed to settle the score with Li Country and target its bases near the Mercyfire Forbidden Zone.
• Mu Qingshuang warned them about Li Country’s powerful fighters and the nearly immortal Demigod-level Blazing Sun Monarch.
• Jiang Fu used a Fate-Playing Doll to control Xing Jun and send him toward the Li Country Base.
• Li Country learned that Aka Country, Ouro Country, Rakshasa Country, and Pu Country had agreed to join forces against Xia Country.

Li Country’s leaders agreed with four other countries to eliminate Xia Country, but their plan was interrupted when Xing Jun attacked Li Country’s base. As the Blazing Sun Monarch appeared, Jiang Fu let Shi Jiu control the Fate-Playing Doll, which had already knocked out Chi Yangrong with one slap.

• Li Country and four allied countries agreed to launch the Summer’s End plan and destroy Xia Country’s Crouching Dragon Base at eleven fifty-five that night.
• Xing Jun entered Li Country’s base, shattered a patrolling Martial Artist’s attack, and knocked him out.
• Chi Yangrong confronted Xing Jun and drank five bottles of Abyss Potion, but Xing Jun knocked him unconscious with one slap.
• Li Country’s base erupted into chaos, and its Demigod, the Blazing Sun Monarch, emerged in a towering pillar of flame.
• Mu Qingshuang watched in shock as Jiang Fu handed Shi Jiu the Fate-Playing Doll, and Shi Jiu marveled at controlling it like a video game.

Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu attacked Li Country’s Blazing Sun Base, where Xing Jun controlled the Blazing Sun Monarch while Mu Qingshuang unleashed a freezing storm. Jiang Fu urged Mu Qingshuang to spare the trapped Miners, whom Shi Jiu planned to capture alive.

• Xing Jun slapped the Blazing Sun Monarch into a building, setting off panic and fires throughout Li Country’s base.
• Mu Qingshuang realized the chaos was real, drank ten Abyss Potions, and rushed toward the base to unleash her Frost Sequence.

• At the burning base, Xing Jun swung the Blazing Sun Monarch by his ankle as Mu Qingshuang swept the settlement with Extreme Cold.
• Li Country’s Martial Artists were caught between the Sun Godfire and Mu Qingshuang’s freezing storm, and Jiang Fu pleaded with her to keep them alive for capture.

Jiang Fu, Shi Jiu, and Mu Qingshuang planned to lure nearby Martial Artists to Li Country Base and capture them for mining, while Mu Qingshuang attacked the base and Jiang Fu split its gates. Their assault drew allied forces from several countries, who arrived intending to kill Mu Qingshuang and the Sword God, as a hidden God Tier Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python also appeared.

• Shi Jiu and Mu Qingshuang agreed to attack Li Country Base while pretending to defend it, hoping to lure in Martial Artists and take them as miners.
• Jiang Fu gave Mu Qingshuang 101 enormous jars of Abyss Potion, which she accepted and used to strengthen her Frost Sequence before charging into the base.
• Jiang Fu split Li Country Base's defensive gates with one sword strike, astonishing Mu Qingshuang.

• Jiang Fu detected the hidden God Tier Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python as more than a dozen powerful figures descended to aid Li Country, followed by others targeting the Sword God.

Jiang Fu lured the Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python into Blazing Sun Base, drawing rival factions into the chaotic attack on Li Country. As the intruders converged on Mu Qingshuang and the Blazing Sun Monarch, Xing Jun revealed a trap that left them unable to use their cultivation.

• More than forty fighters from Pu Country, Ouro Country, and Rakshasa Country attacked Jiang Fu, who spotted the Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python underground.
• The Great Wild Heaven-Devouring Python surfaced in a rage, and Jiang Fu dragged Shi Jiu into Blazing Sun Base with the beast close behind.
• The fighters from the three countries and other Martial Artists rushed into the base, while Xia Country's forces stayed away on Mu Qingshuang's orders.
• The intruders found the Blazing Sun Monarch thrashing wildly and Mu Qingshuang nearby, then charged toward the Summoning Array.
• Smoke spread through the base, and the trapped Martial Artists collapsed as their cultivation vanished; Xing Jun of Lingyue Pavilion announced that he had come to collect them.

Shi Jiu, Jiang Fu, and Mu Qingshuang used the Mist Forbidden Zone and the Sequence-Forbidden Domain to trap the martial artists at Blazing Sun Base and capture them. By nightfall, Xia Country had taken control of the base, and Mu Qingshuang announced that Crouching Dragon Base would become part of the Bearded Pirate Crew.

• Xing Jun’s arrival in the Mist Forbidden Zone led the trapped martial artists to suspect Lingyue Pavilion had set a trap.

Mu Qingshuang invited the martial artists of Crouching Dragon Base to join the Bearded Pirate Crew, revealing that Xia Yuncang was Whitebeard and winning over 256 recruits. She closed recruitment after giving the new members valuable supplies, leaving Ling Hai and his faction outside the crew.

• Mu Qingshuang offered Crouching Dragon Base martial artists the choice of joining the Bearded Pirate Crew or leaving after signing a Confidentiality Agreement, while Ling Hai condemned the move.

• When another martial artist from Ling Hai's group asked to join, Mu Qingshuang refused and declared that recruitment was over.

Mu Qingshuang rejected the Martial Arts Families’ late offer to join the Bearded Pirate Crew, and Jiang Fu forced them to sign Miner Contracts after they threatened the group. Shi Jiu then cut off Blazing Sun Base and warned that their deaths would be reported as heroic sacrifices, with their families blamed for conspiring with Lingyue Pavilion.
