Chapter Summaries

Su Hao received Foundation Establishment cultivation manuals from Fairy Feng Ling, who also asked him to pass Qi-Gathering Pills to Feng Cheng before entering seclusion. He began guiding Feng Cheng’s cultivation and then designed a Universal Assistant for Ashan, leaving its functions to be decided.

• Fairy Feng Ling gave Su Hao three Foundation Establishment methods, two bottles of Qi-Gathering Pills for Feng Cheng, and said she would enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough.

• Su Hao entered Marble Space and decided to create an operating system called Universal Assistant for Ashan.

Su Hao finished designing the Universal Assistant and installed it for Ashan, then studied Qi-Gathering Pills and the Foundation Establishment method. After two months, Su Hao formed Intent and greatly expanded his Perception, noticing that Fairy Feng Ling had advanced to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment; she took him to find books on Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

• Su Hao completed the Universal Assistant, testing its functions and adding a Library and games for Ashan.
• Su Hao gave Ashan the Prophet Gene Modification Fluid and introduced him to the Universal Assistant and its Library.

• Fairy Feng Ling took Su Hao toward the edge of the Immortal Sect to find books on Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Fairy Feng Ling took Su Hao to meet Feng Yan, an expert in Formations, and persuaded her to lend him books. Feng Yan gave Su Hao an hour to choose ten volumes, and the chapter ended with him eagerly reading through the shelves while Feng Yan wondered whether to intervene.

• Fairy Feng Ling flew Su Hao toward Feng Yan, corrected their direction, and brought him to the mist surrounding the Eight-Ring Mountain-Protecting Mist Array.
• Feng Yan emerged from the mist after Fairy Feng Ling offered her a Little Fairy doll, then met Su Hao and learned he wanted Formation books.
• Feng Yan opened a passage through the mist and led Fairy Feng Ling and Su Hao to her flower-filled valley and cave abode.
• Feng Yan agreed to lend Su Hao ten books for a month and placed rows of bookshelves before him, giving him one hour to choose.
• Su Hao began examining the books one by one, leaving Feng Yan and Fairy Feng Ling surprised as Feng Yan considered whether to help him.

Su Hao secretly recorded the library’s books into Marble Space while Feng Yan mistook his quick browsing for ignorance. After Fairy Feng Ling explained Su Hao’s memory and Insight, Feng Yan grew interested in him, but Su Hao left when Ashan’s desperate messages arrived and teleported to help.

• Su Hao recorded the library’s books into Marble Space while Feng Yan urged him to choose ten books and criticized his refusal to take them.

• Su Hao received Ashan’s messages saying Cultivators were hunting him and that Earth Monarch and Rune could not protect him.
• Su Hao used Radar to check his surroundings, transformed into Life Child, and teleported to Ashan.

• Su Hao struck the Cultivator with a Tier 3 Lightning Rune and then cut off his head.

Su Hao discovered that a Golden Core cultivator’s corpse retained usable spiritual power, then returned to the Immortal Sect to study Formations. He learned that Formations used spiritual power to harness nature and simulate natural disasters.

• Su Hao drew spiritual power from the Golden Core cultivator’s corpse and used it to activate a Strong Light Rune.
• Ashan thanked Su Hao, handed over eight Flying Shuttles, and helped collect the cultivator’s inner armor before Su Hao ordered the corpse burned and buried.
• Ashan told Su Hao that his hiding place might have been discovered, so Su Hao updated Ashan’s Location Stone and teleported back to the Immortal Sect.
• Su Hao studied Feng Yan’s Formation books in Marble Space and learned that Formations were a system for understanding nature, distinct from his Rune Array Disks.
• Su Hao read about the origins of Formations and concluded that they used spiritual power to harness natural forces and simulate disasters.

Su Hao studied Formation knowledge and realized that combining Runes through Formation principles could let him harness devastating natural power. After memorizing books on Alchemy and Artifact Refining, he was confronted by Feng Yan, who urged him to become her disciple.

• Su Hao recited the contents of a book from memory, astonishing Feng Yan and Fairy Feng Ling.
• Feng Yan pushed Fairy Feng Ling aside and asked Su Hao to become her disciple so she could teach him Formations.

Su Hao became Feng Yan’s younger brother so he could learn Formations from her, and he pressed her with questions about applying Formation principles in practical ways. After three months, Feng Yan was so exhausted by his questions that she rushed to study before their next lesson.

• Su Hao agreed to study Formations with Feng Yan and resolved the sect’s generation problem by calling her his older sister and giving her the name Feng Wei.
• Su Hao spent two hours each day learning from Feng Yan and asked how Array Disks could adapt to unfamiliar terrain and when Formations could rival Dharma Artifacts.
• Su Hao explored using Art Methods and Runes instead of pre-made Dharma Artifacts, and Feng Yan searched her references for an example of a large Formation made with Art Methods.
• Su Hao questioned Feng Yan about commissioned Formation artifacts, power sources, self-contained Array Disks, and structures that could coordinate multiple large Array Disks.
• After three months, Feng Yan reduced their lessons to half an hour and began studying in her office so she could answer Su Hao’s next questions.

Su Hao designed and tested a Rune Formation called the Matter Crushing Array, which reduced objects and Ashan’s arm to dust despite powerful defenses. The test convinced Su Hao that he needed to research a versatile Absolute Defense Formation to protect himself from stronger attacks.

• Su Hao assembled sixteen linked Rune Array Disks into a large Formation and activated it from a distance.
• Su Hao tested the Matter Crushing Array on stones and confirmed that it reduced them to dust.
• Ashan tested the array with his Rune-protected arm, which was destroyed before he regrew it with Black Crystal Armor.
• Su Hao tested the array against his Wind Spirit Protective Shield, Level 2 Barrier, and hardened armor, but his arm was also reduced to powder and regrown.
• Su Hao concluded that the Formation’s power exceeded his expectations and resolved to develop a rapidly activated Absolute Defense Formation.

Su Hao learned that Merit Points could buy the books he wanted and decided to compete for the Senior Brother Token, whose winner would receive 500 points. After Fairy Feng Ling warned him that victory was unlikely, Su Hao planned to develop Feng Cheng’s cultivation with a modified method.

• Su Hao told Fairy Feng Ling he had nearly mastered Formations and needed more books, while Feng Cheng praised Su Hao for advancing his cultivation to the second level.
• Fairy Feng Ling explained that she had spent her Merit Points and that the Senior Brother Token Competition offered 500 points to its final victor.
• Su Hao asked to participate in the competition, and Fairy Feng Ling explained its arena format and cautioned him that winning would be conspicuous.
• After Fairy Feng Ling left, Su Hao examined Feng Cheng’s cultivation and encouraged him to reach the completion of the second level.
• Su Hao decided to have Feng Cheng try a modified Cloud Moon Gazing Spirit Method based on a Mobius Strip to build an endless circular Spirit Power structure.

After a month of research, Su Hao attended the Wind Lineage arena matches with Feng Cheng and met the returning master Feng Hua. The matches began, but Su Hao was left bewildered by the Qi-Induction cultivators’ clumsy duel.

• Su Hao realized a month had passed, packed away his research, and went with Feng Cheng to First-Light Slope for the arena matches.
• Su Hao, Feng Cheng, and Fairy Feng Ling searched for Feng Hua and met Feng Yan, then Fairy Feng Ling introduced them to the Wind Lineage elders.
• Feng Hua arrived, recognized Su Hao and Feng Cheng as Fairy Feng Ling’s disciples, and revealed that Fairy Feng Ling’s Senior Brother was dead.
• Feng Ling, Feng Yan, Feng Hua, Su Hao, and Feng Cheng went to watch the Wind Lineage Qi-Induction matches begin.
• Two Qi-Induction cultivators repeatedly exchanged a flying sword and Wind Bullets, and Su Hao wondered whether they were seriously fighting.

Su Hao watched the Wind Lineage disciples fight for the arena and reflected on their limited combat experience and the advantages of spells and Dharma Artifacts. Feng Yu'er entered the competition to challenge the current champion, leaving the male disciple facing her flustered by her beauty.

• A long-haired youth used a Flying Sword and Giant Strength Fist to break his opponent’s shield and win the match.
• Fairy Feng Ling explained that challengers could keep fighting or rest, and that disciples were competing to show off before their peers.
• Su Hao observed that Level 4 Qi Induction, faster seals, more Art Methods, and stronger Dharma Artifacts gave contestants the advantage.
• After thirty disciples had been eliminated, Feng Yu'er stepped onto the arena and drew the crowd’s attention.
• Feng Yu'er challenged the male disciple before her, whose spiritual power faltered as he became overwhelmed by her beauty.

Feng Yu'er continued dominating the Wind Lineage’s Qi-Induction Realm challengers until Su Hao, competing as Feng Wei, took the stage. He dodged her first attacks with mortal martial arts and the Wind-Roaming Agility Art, drawing the crowd’s attention to his anticipation.

• Feng Yu'er defeated challenger after challenger with her short spike, breaking their barriers and knocking them off the arena.
• As the remaining disciples hesitated, Su Hao stepped onto the stage, surprising the crowd with his youthful appearance.
• Su Hao introduced himself as Feng Wei and raised a pale cyan protective barrier before Feng Yu'er attacked.
• Su Hao tilted aside to evade Feng Yu'er’s first strike, and Fairy Feng Ling explained that he had practiced mortal martial arts before entering the Gate.
• Feng Yu'er redirected the short spike for another attack, but Su Hao used the Wind-Roaming Agility Art to dodge it again.
• Feng Hua recognized Su Hao’s key technique and said, “Anticipation!”

Su Hao defeated Feng Yu'er in the arena by evading her attacks and overpowering her shield with Wind Bullets, then easily drove off several challengers. He remained onstage, waiting for another opponent after the crowd fell silent.

• Golden Core cultivators recognized Su Hao's controlled evasions and combat skill as signs of genius.

• Su Hao defeated successive challengers with a single long-range Wind Bullet each, until no one else came forward.

Su Hao gained the name Wind-Finger after defeating Feng Yu'er and became a candidate in the Senior Brother Token contest. As the Foundation Establishment contest began the next day, Feng Yu'er questioned her talent and Master, while Feng Ling received a Golden Return Pill and warnings from Feng Hua.

• Su Hao reassured Feng Cheng after Feng Yan beat him, telling him he was destined to achieve great things.
• Feng Yu'er brooded over her defeat and began to suspect that Feng Qianye had deceived her about being a destined genius.
• Feng Qianye considered choosing someone else because Feng Yu'er seemed unable to handle a minor setback.
• Feng Hua told Feng Ling that her senior brother had died in a Demon Path attack and gave her a Golden Return Pill before urging her to cultivate safely.
• Feng Ling worried that Feng Wei was attracting too much attention, but Feng Hua refused to explain his concern until she reached the Golden Core Realm.
• Su Hao returned to First-Light Slope for the Foundation Establishment contest and was greeted by disciples as Senior Brother Wind-Finger.

Su Hao watched the Foundation Establishment Realm spell duels and concluded that combat relied on deception, though he preferred practical inventions to flashy tricks. After leaving the disciples’ gathering to return to his rune research, he came to First-Light Slope the next morning to watch the Golden Core Realm matches.

• Su Hao watched Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators use varied Art Methods and Dharma Artifacts, and his Master, Fairy Feng Ling, won a match with deceptive techniques.
• Feng Changge won the arena championship, and Su Hao decided that spell duels hinged on deceiving opponents but that he would rather make a bomb and study.
• Su Hao found the disciples’ evening gathering uncomfortable, left after about ten minutes, and returned to Chaotic Stone Peak to study Absolute Defense Runes.
• The next morning, Su Hao arrived early at First-Light Slope and waited with the other cultivators for the Golden Core Realm arena matches.

After watching the Golden Core arena matches, Su Hao was summoned with Feng Cai'er and Feng Changge to meet Grand Elder Feng. The group gathered at an isolated Stone Peak, where Feng Cai'er and Feng Changge watched Su Hao curiously, wanting to learn how his Qi-Induction Realm Wind Bullets had been so powerful.

• Feng Wanliu flew Su Hao to an isolated Stone Peak, where Feng Cai'er and Feng Changge were waiting.

Su Hao received his qualification reward from Grand Elder Feng, then devised a way to fly using Wind Bullet recoil and refined the technique in Marble Space. The Qi-Induction Realm tournament began the next day, with its contenders trading flattering boasts before the matches started.

• Grand Elder Feng gave Su Hao a Connection Pill, Feng Changge a Golden Return Pill, and Feng Cai'er an Essence Pill, then urged Feng Cai'er to remain with the Immortal Sect and pursue the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Feng Cai'er abruptly flew away after leaving Grand Elder Feng, while Su Hao wondered what had upset her and how he could get back to his residence.
• Su Hao used repeated Wind Bullets to propel himself through the air, impressing Feng Wanliu, who watched him depart.
• In Marble Space, Su Hao designed improvements to the Wind Spirit Protective Shield, Wind-Roaming Agility Art, and Wind Bullet to create a more reliable flight method.

Su Hao dominated the Qi-Induction Realm competition by defeating every challenger with his Wind Bullet and won the Senior Brother Token. He examined the token but was left wondering what it did.

• Su Hao took the arena, and Yue Shangzhi challenged him first.
• Su Hao shattered Yue Shangzhi’s defenses with a Wind Bullet and blasted him out of the arena.
• Yun Qingping, Chen Xin, Yu Fei'er, and Wu Qiaoqiao each faced Su Hao and were knocked off the arena by his Wind Bullet.
• Su Hao received the glowing Senior Brother Token after defeating all five challengers.
• Su Hao inspected the token and wondered what it was for.

After winning the Senior Brother Token, Su Hao discovered that it could shield its bearer from a Golden Core attack and make Spiritual Power easier to control, potentially aiding breakthroughs. He stored it away and learned that Ashan had blundered into a mist-shrouded place and was being chased by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

• Su Hao collected the Senior Brother Token and learned from Fairy Feng Ling that he could claim five hundred nontransferable Merit Points at the Disciple Record, but the Library Pavilion was closed until tomorrow.
• Su Hao activated the Senior Brother Token and found that it produced a powerful protective barrier and made Spiritual Power more active within its range.
• Su Hao concluded that the token could help low-level cultivators break through realms, recorded its information in Marble Space, and stored it for later study.
• Su Hao decided to focus on Formations and Artifact Refining, leaving Alchemy for Ashan to study after entering Moon-Gazing Valley.
• Su Hao checked on Ashan and discovered that Foundation Establishment Cultivators were pursuing him after he wandered into a mist-filled place.
