Chapter Summaries

Su Hao recovered from his rapid breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm, replenished his spirit power, and began tempering it into Nascent Soul spirit power. He recommitted himself to advancing his research, believing he could eventually transform cultivation methods throughout the world.

• After twenty days of replacing much of his body with spirit power, Su Hao completed his Nascent Soul breakthrough but was left physically and mentally exhausted.
• Su Hao reminded himself to stay focused on mastering spirit power and eternal life, checked his research tasks, and fell asleep for three days.
• After recovering, Su Hao confirmed his rapid breakthrough method worked and began replenishing his spirit power with pills.
• Three months later, Su Hao had replenished his spirit power and resumed cultivating to complete its transformation into Nascent Soul spirit power.
• Su Hao considered Ashan’s progress toward a Spirit Power Nature Transformation Activator and resolved to revolutionize the Cultivation World’s Immortal Methods through research.

After completing the preliminary transformation of his spiritual power, Su Hao returned to Spirit Mountain Vein Province to test his abilities and replace an aging Location Stone. He found the province rife with fighting, but left without investigating and returned to Moon-Gazing Valley to meet Feng Qianye.

• Su Hao prepared his armor, weapon, and defenses before teleporting to Spirit Mountain Vein Province.
• Su Hao tested his expanded perception and found cultivators fighting nearby, then used Wind Bullet to destroy a mountain peak and tested his other abilities.
• Su Hao concluded that Nascent Soul spiritual power made his abilities roughly three times stronger than Golden Core spiritual power.
• Su Hao noticed frequent battles across Spirit Mountain Vein Province but decided not to investigate them.
• Su Hao buried a new Location Stone and teleported back to Moon-Gazing Valley, planning to meet Feng Qianye the next day.

Feng Wei revealed that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm in only half a year, shocking Feng Qianye, who secretly planned to steal his spiritual power to reach the Integrated Body Realm. As Feng Qianye prepared to attack him in her cave mansion, Feng Wei confronted her about her intentions.

• Feng Wei arrived at Feng Qianye's cave mansion and reported that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Feng Qianye was astonished by Feng Wei's rapid progress and questioned how he cultivated, while Feng Wei claimed he devoted all his time to cultivation and had barely learned any Art Methods.
• Feng Qianye invited Feng Wei into her cave mansion and secretly decided to take his spiritual power before he could grow stronger or attract the attention of other elders.
• Feng Qianye led Feng Wei into the reception hall and served him tea, confident that her formations and strength would let her take him down.
• As Feng Qianye prepared to attack, Feng Wei asked whether she wanted to take him out, horrifying her.

Feng Qianye tried to kill Su Hao in her cave dwelling, but his strange abilities repeatedly thwarted her attacks and escape attempts. After she failed to pierce his head with a hidden needle, Su Hao severed her head from her body.

• Feng Qianye trapped Su Hao with the Wind Spirit Seal and struck his neck with Azure Blade Shears, but he remained able to speak.
• Su Hao vanished, appeared behind Feng Qianye, shattered her defenses, cut off her left arm, and stunned her with Lightning.
• Feng Qianye tried to escape and then used her cave Formation to bind and attack Su Hao, but he endured both assaults and stunned her again.
• Feng Qianye pretended to answer Su Hao before firing a Cyan Edge Needle through his head, but it left him unharmed.
• Su Hao summoned his blade and swept it across Feng Qianye's neck, severing her head.

Su Hao killed Feng Qianye after she tried to self-detonate, then searched her cave abode and discovered Spirit Storage Stones. He transferred her spirit power into a stone and began considering whether such stones could be used to manufacture Spirit Power Stones.

• Feng Qianye tried to self-detonate her severed head, but Su Hao interrupted her with Lightning and cut her head apart.
• Su Hao recorded Feng Qianye's body data, took her corpse to the Laboratory, and searched her cave abode for valuables.
• Su Hao found three Spirit Storage Stones, including two filled with Nascent Soul spirit power, and took them back to the Laboratory.
• Su Hao worked out how to transfer spirit power into a Spirit Storage Stone and built a Rune Array Disk to automate the process.
• After four days, Su Hao finished storing Feng Qianye's spirit power and wondered whether Spirit Storage Stones could be used to make Spirit Power Stones.

Su Hao studied how to counter Integrated Body Cultivators and uncovered the cruel method behind their breakthrough, deciding to seek another path beyond the Nascent Soul Realm. Meanwhile, the Immortal Lord plotted to use the Crystal Thief’s connection to Moon-Gazing Valley to destabilize the Thirty-Nine Prefectures Mortal Domain and accelerate the collection of Blood Spirits.

• Su Hao returned to his Meditation Room, planned to study Integrated Body techniques, and began working to control his abundant spiritual power.
• The Immortal Lord and Lin Mei linked the Crystal Thief to Moon-Gazing Valley and planned to exploit the connection to stir conflict among the Immortal Sects.
• The Immortal Lord ordered Lin Mei to spread selected information, sent Evil Joy to devastate Moon-Gazing Valley and weaken other sects, and assigned Li Chi to accelerate Blood Spirit collection.
• After a year of study, Su Hao learned that the Integrated Body breakthrough relied on implanting same-source spiritual power, a method that began with the Fusion Origin Immortal and led to the exploitation of disciples.
• Su Hao rejected that breakthrough method and resolved to discover a different way to surpass the Nascent Soul Realm’s limits, confident that the advantage was his.

Su Hao studied the threat of Soul-Extinguishing Art Methods and decided to learn one so he could develop a defense against Body Integration Cultivators. Ashan completed his research into Spirit Power nature transformations, and Su Hao began reviewing the results while preparing to design new Foundation Establishment methods for Ashan and Feng Cheng.

• Su Hao concluded that Soul-Extinguishing Art Methods were the main danger Body Integration Cultivators posed to him and chose three techniques to study.
• Ashan told Su Hao that he had completed the research project on patterns of multiple Spirit Power nature transformations and sent him the findings and an application.
• Su Hao reviewed Ashan's research, praised him, and agreed to let him design and conduct a future project independently after showing Su Hao the plan.
• Ashan revealed that he had obtained a Senior Brother Token, and Su Hao offered to design a new Foundation Establishment method for him instead of using the proven Moon Vein structure.
• Su Hao told Ashan that Feng Cheng had also reached Level 4 Qi Induction and would need a specially arranged Foundation Establishment method.
• Su Hao opened Ashan's software and asked him to explain the Spirit Power Transformation Factory so they could verify its functions.

Ashan demonstrated his Spirit Power Transformation Factory software to Su Hao, who asked to experience an Art Method Implantation. Meanwhile, Moon-Gazing Valley’s six Lineage Masters decided to defend their sect against the forces accusing them of harboring the Crystal Thief, while Yun Xiao privately considered the Cloud Moon Immortal Method an opportunity.

• Ashan explained the software’s Art Method Implantation, Spirit Power Transition, and Combination Tool functions, and showed how he had successfully implanted several Art Methods.
• Ashan began collecting Su Hao’s spirit power data to implant the Qi-Form Wind Escape Technique.
• Yun Xiao and the five other Lineage Masters discussed the accusations linking Feng Wei to the Crystal Thief and whether Moon-Gazing Valley should flee or stay.
• Yun Xiao declared that the Lineage Masters would defend Moon Valley using its Formation and retreat to Azure Jade Nether Prefecture if they could not defeat their enemies.
• After the others left, Yun Xiao privately reflected on the Cloud Moon Immortal Method and called it a rare opportunity.

Su Hao used Ashan’s Art Method Implantation research to learn techniques rapidly, then implanted several Soul-Extinguishing Arts and devised the Fire Extinguisher to weaken them. Testing one of the Arts exposed the limits of his Absolute Defense, which he renamed Crispy Defense as a reminder not to rely on it.

• Su Hao successfully used the Qi-Form Wind Escape Technique after Ashan’s Activator Rune modified his Spirit Power, and he praised Ashan’s research.
• Su Hao implanted Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill, Bone-Corroding Soul-Draining Art, and Spirit-Dissolving Mind-Splitting Finger, then learned numerous other Art Methods.
• Su Hao rejected Spirit Power Stones as a model for resisting Soul-Extinguishing Arts and planned a protective Formation that would make those Arts self-destruct.
• Su Hao designed the first-generation Fire Extinguisher Activator, which stimulated Soul-Extinguishing Arts into losing their special effect.
• Su Hao tested Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill against his Absolute Defense Protective Barrier and watched the barrier collapse, so he renamed it Crispy Defense.

Su Hao completed his Fire Extinguisher defenses and cultivation methods for Ashan and Feng Cheng before investigating the Immortal Sect’s nine bell rings. At the Disciple Record, the cultivators mistook him for Elder Feng Wei when he revealed he had recently reached the Nascent Soul Realm, leaving Fairy Feng Ling and the others stunned.

• Su Hao tested the Fire Extinguisher against Soul-Extinguishing Arts and ordered plans for stronger defenses and cultivation methods for Ashan and Feng Cheng.
• Over the following weeks, Su Hao expanded the Fire Extinguisher’s range beyond two hundred meters, made four protective bracelets, and prepared foundation-building methods for Ashan and Feng Cheng.
• Nine bell rings stirred the Immortal Sect, so Su Hao met Fairy Feng Ling at the Disciple Record to find out what had happened.
• Feng Yong mistook Su Hao for Elder Feng Wei because he sensed Su Hao’s Nascent Soul cultivation, but Su Hao said he was only a disciple and had recently broken through.
• Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Cheng, Feng Yu'er, and the gathered cultivators were shocked when Su Hao confirmed he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Su Hao revealed that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, astonishing the Moon-Gazing Valley cultivators gathered after the Nine Bell Rings. Sect Leader Yun Xiao ordered the disciples to repel invading enemies, and Grand Elder Feng invited Su Hao to join the Elders as they discussed the defense.

• Su Hao confirmed that he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, leaving Fairy Feng Ling and the gathered cultivators stunned.
• Feng Cheng proclaimed Su Hao an all-powerful True Immortal while the others struggled to explain his rapid cultivation.
• Su Hao sensed six Body Integration Cultivators and thirty Nascent Soul Cultivators waiting as Moon-Gazing Valley's disciples gathered before the Disciple Record.
• The six Lineage Masters and thirty Nascent Soul Cultivators appeared and noticed Su Hao, whom Grand Elder Feng recognized as a Wind Vein disciple.
• Sect Leader Yun Xiao ordered the disciples to keep invading enemies outside the Immortal Sect, then departed with the other Lineage Masters.
• Grand Elder Feng invited Su Hao to join the Elders and discuss strategies, but Su Hao told him to decide without considering his opinion.

As Moon-Gazing Valley prepared for an invasion, Su Hao learned that rumors linking the Crystal Thief to the sect had helped unite its enemies. He moved his supplies, made protective Dharma Artifacts for his companions, and joined a defensive team as its captain.

• Sect Leader Yun Xiao ordered the disciples to keep invading enemies outside Moon-Gazing Valley, and Su Hao attended a defense meeting with the Wind Lineage elders.
• Grand Elder Feng and Third Elder explained that the Eight-Ring Mountain-Protecting Mist Array would defend the valley, and they said enemies had rallied after the Crystal Thief was linked to Moon-Gazing Valley by rumors.
• Su Hao moved the Experiment Base’s supplies to a new Storage Space in Spirit Mountain Vein Province and spent five days making Dharma Artifacts.
• Su Hao gave Ashan protective equipment for the others and gave Fairy Feng Ling a bracelet that resisted the Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill, along with two more Dharma Artifacts.
• The Wind Lineage elders formed four-person teams for a simulated battle, and Su Hao became captain of Wind-Seven-One with Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Cheng, and Feng Hua.

Moon-Gazing Valley activated its mist Formation as Su Hao’s team prepared to defend their assigned post against intruders. Yun Xiao revealed that eighteen top-tier Immortal Sects had united against the valley, and proposed using the sect’s Cloud-Moon Six Veins Myriad-Mile Travel escape art.

• The mist Formation sealed Moon-Gazing Valley and suppressed perception, while Su Hao told his team to focus on defeating intruders and staying alive.
• Su Hao gave Ashan, Feng Yu'er, and Yun Qingping Location Stones for protection.
• Yun Xiao told the Six Lineage Masters that eighteen top-tier Immortal Sects had threatened to invade unless Moon-Gazing Valley surrendered the Crystal Thief or compensated them.
• Yu Feixian read the list of allied sects and condemned them as bandits, while the Lineage Masters realized they were heavily outnumbered.
• Yun Xiao warned the other Body Integration Cultivators that fleeing would leave them vulnerable to pursuit, then suggested activating the Cloud-Moon Six Veins Myriad-Mile Travel escape art.

• Ling Xuan restated the spoils agreement and urged the sect representatives to carry out the assault despite their suspicions.
• Shan Huan proposed targeting one section of Moon-Gazing Valley’s formation to draw defenders away, then using a signal to launch the general offensive; the representatives accepted.

• Su Hao sensed the attack and realized it was aimed at the direction Ashan was defending.
• Ashan messaged Su Hao that enemies kept coming in waves and his group could not hold them off.

Ashan’s squad faced a concentrated assault at Moon-Gazing Valley, and Ashan killed several attackers, including a Golden Core Cultivator, before the pressure forced him to call Su Hao for help. As the valley’s defenders prepared to fight to the death, Su Hao considered confronting the enemy’s strongest cultivators while Shan Huan prepared a second move for the battle.

• Ashan used his silver Dharma Artifacts to kill a Tall Foundation Establishment Cultivator and then beheaded a Light Blue Golden Core Cultivator who entered the formation.
• More enemy cultivators arrived, overwhelming Ashan’s squad, so he called Su Hao for help; Su Hao told him to prioritize survival and retreat if reinforcements did not arrive within a minute.
• Moon-Gazing Valley’s Elders redirected enemy cultivators and sent reinforcements, while more than a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators entered the southwest corner and cleared out attackers.
• Moon-Gazing Valley’s Elders distributed mission scrolls ordering the extermination of the valley’s cultivators, prompting the defenders to realize they had to fight to the death.
• Su Hao considered driving off the enemy Body Integration Cultivators but worried that doing so would expose his identity and force him to leave Moon-Gazing Valley.
• Shan Huan learned that the items had reached the Moon Valley cultivators, gave them a quarter of an hour before the General Offensive, and planned to use a peerless treasure to turn the attackers against one another if his first move failed.

As the Eighteen Immortal Sects attacked Moon-Gazing Valley, Yun Xiao and the other Lineage Masters planned to flee while Su Hao prepared a defensive array for his companions. Su Hao then left the array to survey the battle, discovering that his Spirit Sense worked normally outside the valley’s mist.

• Yun Xiao and the other Lineage Masters discussed escaping together with the Six Vein Array, while Feng Yeshuang worried about the disciples left behind.
• Su Hao set up the Three-Day Mind Confusion Array and warned Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Hua, Feng Cheng, and the others to stay out of its red and blue smoke.
• The first enemy cultivators stumbled into the array, lost their balance, and were killed by Fairy Feng Ling and Feng Cheng with Su Hao’s weapons.
• Su Hao left the array after it proved effective, and Fairy Feng Ling and Feng Cheng continued killing the intruders while Feng Hua marvelled at their weapons.
• Su Hao teleported outside Moon Valley and found that his Spirit Sense had recovered its full range beyond the Mountain-Protecting Array.

Su Hao transformed into Life Child and attacked the fifty-four Body Integration Cultivators surrounding Moon-Gazing Valley. He killed several of them in rapid succession and prepared to continue, despite one cultivator managing to send a warning signal.

• Su Hao detected the force surrounding Moon-Gazing Valley and armed himself with Crystal Armor, Flying Swords, and two Crystal Warblades.
• Su Hao numbered the Body Integration Cultivators and ambushed Number '1,' breaking through his defenses and killing him.
• Su Hao used the Sword of Dawn array to break through Number '2's shields, then Flash Stepped in to kill him.
• Su Hao killed several more Body Integration Cultivators before nearby cultivators noticed the attacks.
• A white-haired old cultivator sent a warning signal, but Su Hao killed him as Number '8' and continued the slaughter.

Yun Xiao and the other five cultivators fled Moon-Gazing Valley in the Clouds while the surviving Body Integration Cultivators planned to counter the Crystal Thief. Su Hao prepared a massive Two-Thousand Blast and teleported it into the middle of their formation, leaving them stunned.

• Yun Xiao led Yue You, Maple Frost, Yu Feixian, Chen Gu, and Wu Yao in activating the Cloud-Moon Six Veins Myriad-Mile Travel, and they escaped beyond Moon-Gazing Valley in the Clouds.
• The thirty-nine surviving Body Integration Cultivators gathered to defend themselves against Su Hao, while Ling Xuan struggled to find a way to stop him.
• Shan Huan proposed layering defensive Art Methods and firing Soul-Extinguishing Arts in every direction to strike Su Hao when he appeared.
• Su Hao built a nearly ten-meter Crystal Ball packed with eruption Runes, filled it with spiritual power, and prepared to activate Two-Thousand Blast.
• Su Hao teleported the Crystal Ball into the center of the Body Integration Cultivators' formation, leaving Ling Xuan, Shan Huan, Shi Jian, and the others bewildered.

Su Hao’s Giant Crystal Bomb devastated the gathered Body Integration Cultivators, killing eighteen and leaving the survivors badly injured as their stolen spiritual power fell into chaos. He tracked down the weakened cultivators and began hunting them, opening with a swift strike against number 19.

• The Giant Crystal Bomb exploded near Moon-Gazing Valley, killing eighteen Body Integration Cultivators and blasting apart the mountain mist and surrounding peaks.
• Ashan recognized the blast as Boss Wei’s bomb, while Fairy Feng Ling and Feng Cheng wondered whether Feng Wei had created it.
• The surviving Body Integration Cultivators discovered that their plundered spiritual power and Heart-Locking Array had collapsed, then fled with their strength greatly reduced.
• Su Hao regained his Spirit Sense Perception, identified twenty-one weakened Body Integration Cultivators, and declared that the Crystal Thief had arrived.
• Su Hao used Flash Step to slice through number 19’s fragile Protective Barrier, decapitate him, and grind his head to pieces.
