Chapter Summaries

Reliable reports revealed that a Crystal Armor Man had killed the fifty-four Body Integration Cultivators who attacked Moon-Gazing Valley, stirring fears that the Cultivation World was changing. Su Hao brought his companions to a coastal bay, named it Starry Bay, and worked with Ashan to transform its mountains into an elaborate settlement.

• Lin Mei told the Immortal Lord that the Crystal Armor Man had slaughtered the attackers at Moon-Gazing Valley and taken their bodies, prompting the Immortal Lord to suspect someone had reached Above Integration.
• Su Hao and his companions crossed the Guangming Sea and chose a sheltered coastal bay in Spirit Mountain Vein Province as their temporary home.
• Su Hao named the bay Starry Bay and asked Ashan to help remodel it using the plans he provided.
• Su Hao and Ashan transformed into Life Child and Earth Monarch and used their Combined Technique to reshape the mountain range into crystal structures, pavilions, and towers.
• After completing the renovation in half an hour, Su Hao praised Ashan's coordination and told Fairy Feng Ling and the others that Ashan was a genius too.

After five years of research and cultivation at Starry Sky Harbor, Su Hao investigated a grotesque monster whose mixed spirit power came from Moon-Gazing Valley’s Six Veins Lineage Masters. He discovered three powerful cultivators approaching the creature, including the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Right Hall Master Li Chi.

• Feng Hua and Feng Yan settled into cultivation at Starry Sky Harbor, while Ashan continued teaching Feng Cheng and the other two.
• Su Hao assigned Ashan research into producing and cultivating usable spirit power, and Ashan began studying methods for preparing spirit power enhancement drugs.
• Five years passed as Ashan and Su Hao pursued cultivation and research, until Ashan warned Su Hao about a monster hunting cultivators in Spirit Mountain Vein Province.
• Su Hao teleported to investigate the monster, found it after searching for two hours, and used Little Light to identify its spirit power as belonging to Moon-Gazing Valley’s Six Veins Lineage Masters.
• Su Hao detected three Body Integration Cultivators heading toward the monster and recognized them as the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Right Hall Master Li Chi of Dark Light.

Su Hao watched the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Li Chi capture a powerful six-headed monster formed from Moon-Gazing Valley’s Six Veins Lineage Masters. The three took the bound creature away, while Su Hao remained hidden and wondered what they intended to do with it.

• Su Hao concluded that the monster’s spiritual-power-based existence was a failed cultivation path that had left it driven to devour others.
• The monster charged at the Immortal Lord, who deflected its attack and trapped it inside a Formation made from Twenty-Four Purple Lights.
• Lin Mei and Li Chi reinforced the Formation while the Immortal Lord struck the monster and sealed it inside.
• The Immortal Lord bound the monster with Purple Chains until it stopped struggling, then secured it with a Chain Artifact.
• Li Chi carried the monster away as the Immortal Lord and Lin Mei followed, while Su Hao watched from the sky.

Su Hao followed the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Li Chi to a hidden palace and discovered a secret chamber containing fifty-eight unconscious Body Integration Cultivators. After identifying them as the targets of the Crystal Thief framing, he protected himself from the Purple Chains and began recording their bodily information.

• Su Hao followed the three cultivators to a palace concealed by a Formation and used miniature scouting Summoned Beasts to investigate it.
• The scouting beasts revealed a chamber of people bound to Stone Platforms by Purple Chains, and the Immortal Lord brought in the captured monster before leaving with Lin Mei and Li Chi.
• Su Hao entered the chamber and found fifty-eight unconscious Body Integration Cultivators, realizing they were the ones the three had framed as victims of the Crystal Thief.
• Su Hao tested the Purple Chains on Spirit Beasts and determined that they disrupted spiritual power and damaged the brain's ability to sustain consciousness.
• Su Hao confirmed that Crispy Defense could resist the chains, then protected himself and began recording each captive's bodily information in Marble Space.

Su Hao, calling himself Jia Wei and the Crystal Thief, confronted the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Li Chi to test whether they could communicate safely. He overwhelmed all three with Flash Step and his blunt blade, leaving them battered in a crater.

• Su Hao located the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Li Chi, then appeared before them and introduced himself as Jia Wei, the Crystal Thief.
• The Immortal Lord attacked and formed a Formation, while Lin Mei and Li Chi joined in, but Su Hao evaded their attacks and escaped the Formation.
• Su Hao struck Li Chi repeatedly, breaking his Protective Barrier and sending him crashing into the ground.

• The Immortal Lord predicted Su Hao's movements and landed a blow, but Su Hao saw through his tactic and began attacking from unexpected directions.
• Su Hao battered the Immortal Lord and kicked him into the ground, leaving all three opponents injured.

Su Hao defeated the Immortal Lord, Lin Mei, and Li Chi with his improved Mind Confusion Array, then questioned them about their plans. He destroyed their operation by teleporting away the Aggregate Monster and all fifty-eight Living Corpses, leaving the Immortal Lord to ask what Realm Su Hao had reached.

• The Immortal Lord summoned a Purple Light Clone and formed the Four Purple Aurora Array with Lin Mei and Li Chi, but Su Hao countered it with his Twenty-Four Flying Sword Array and disoriented them.
• Su Hao repeatedly struck the trio with the improved Three-Day Mind Confusion Array until they lost the will to resist, then trapped them in an Opposing Space Barrier and demanded answers.

• Su Hao destroyed the basement Formation and teleported away the Aggregate Monster and all fifty-eight Living Corpses, devastating the Immortal Lord and his companions.
• The Immortal Lord asked Su Hao whether he had reached Above Integration, and Su Hao claimed he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Su Hao explained why the Immortal Lord and his allies had lost, then challenged the Immortal Lord’s plan to extend his life by repeatedly refining and stacking spirit power. The two agreed to exchange research and cooperate on an experiment, with Su Hao returning the Living Corpses and joining the Immortal Lord’s work.

• The Immortal Lord inspected Su Hao’s Universal Blades and realized their knowledge and abilities were so different that they had never been playing the same game.
• The Immortal Lord described his plan to cycle between Integration and Nascent Soul realms, refining and stacking spirit power to seek a new realm and extend his lifespan.
• Su Hao warned that stacking spirit power could not achieve true eternity without preserving consciousness, and the Immortal Lord reconsidered his reliance on spirit power.
• Su Hao and the Immortal Lord agreed to share research and trade knowledge of equal value.
• The Immortal Lord asked Su Hao to return the fifty-eight Living Corpses, and Su Hao returned them and asked to participate in the experiment; the Immortal Lord agreed.

Su Hao and Immortal Lord worked together on a revised plan for Immortal Lord’s Reincarnation Realm breakthrough, then parted to pursue their own projects. Su Hao returned to Starry Sky Harbor and set a new research priority: finding how spirit power could free consciousness from the limits of the body.

• Lin Mei and Li Chi struggled to understand why Su Hao and Immortal Lord had stopped discussing revenge and begun cooperating.
• A year later, Immortal Lord began a breakthrough experiment expected to take at least five years, while Su Hao left a Spirit Beast with him and returned to Starry Sky Harbor.
• Su Hao reviewed his gains from working with Immortal Lord, including an upgraded Spirit Power Transformation Factory and the Purple Extreme Soul Lock Chain, which he had improved into a Sleep Aid.
• Ashan told Su Hao about obstacles in developing potent spirit power enhancement drugs, and Su Hao proposed a Cultivation Technology Academy and a worldwide Internet.
• Su Hao revised his research plans and made studying the relationship between spirit power and consciousness his foremost task.

Su Hao spent three years researching spirit power and developed a much more concentrated form, though he found that raising its energy further risked losing control. Ashan then reported that he had created a mass-producible Spirit Power Enhancement Drug, and Su Hao encouraged him to share it with his Master and continue developing it.

• Su Hao set aside his research into consciousness and planned macro- and micro-level experiments to uncover the principles of spirit power transformation.
• Su Hao collected spirit power from Immortal Sects and spent three years researching it, discovering that its energy was essentially chemical and developing High-Energy Concentrated Spirit Power.
• Su Hao found that a fingertip-sized cluster of his concentrated spirit power held one-tenth the energy of the Two-Thousand Blast, but further increases could overwhelm his Spirit Sense and destroy Starry Bay.
• Ashan told Su Hao that the first-generation Spirit Power Enhancement Drug could be mass-produced and adjusted for cultivators from the Qi-Induction Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Su Hao asked Ashan to send the drug to his Master and others, while Ashan described his plans for a second-generation enhancement drug.

Su Hao advanced spirit power technology by organizing an academy training plan and developing a method for long-distance communication. After creating a pair of Ten Thousand Miles Sound devices, he recruited Feng Yan to test them by offering advice and a Love Potion to help her pursue Feng Hua.

• Su Hao told Ashan to study mass-producing High-Concentration Spirit Power Stones and approved Ashan’s academy plan, while directing him to prioritize spirit power technology and faster cultivation.
• Su Hao gave Ashan the Quick Immortal Method from Beginner to Nascent Soul as a standard cultivation method for the academy.
• Su Hao checked the Immortal Lord’s progress and began researching communication devices using the Sky Stone lotus pedestal.
• Su Hao discovered that Sky Stones produced Spirit Power Waves and synthesized a key substance he named Cliff.
• Su Hao built the first pair of Ten Thousand Miles Sound devices and went to find someone to test them.
• Su Hao evaded Feng Yan’s attempt to pinch his cheeks, then offered to help her pursue Feng Hua and mentioned a Love Potion; Feng Yan agreed to conduct his test.

Su Hao tested Ten Thousand Miles Sound with Feng Yan, then planned a planet-wide Spirit Power communication network using satellites and base stations. He committed to developing the technology while keeping his focus on carrying consciousness through Spirit Power and eventually reaching space.

• Su Hao gave Feng Yan a wonder drug for Feng Hua and had her test Ten Thousand Miles Sound, which maintained clear communication up to about two hundred thousand meters.
• Su Hao explained the device’s principles to Feng Yan, but she lost interest when the explanation became difficult.
• Su Hao reflected on the importance of lifelong learning, recorded questions to guard against complacency in Marble Space, and resolved to preserve his curiosity.
• Su Hao returned to his laboratory, recorded the test results, and began planning satellites, base stations, and personal communication terminals.
• Su Hao estimated that developing the communication network could take about fifty years and vowed to reach space rather than die on the planet.

After five years developing spirit power technology, Su Hao agreed to serve as the First Dean of the Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy and formally announced its establishment. The chapter ended with the Academy founded on Starry Sky Island and ready to transform cultivation and civilian life.

• Su Hao spent five years developing spirit power technology products in his Laboratory, including vehicles, communications devices, and other inventions intended to raise civilian productivity.

• Ashan led Su Hao and the others to the Academy on Starry Sky Island, where Su Hao saw a statue of himself titled Immortal Progenitor and climbed the Heavenly Stairway.
• Su Hao stood before the statue and officially announced the founding of the Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy.

Su Hao appointed the Moon-Gazing Valley Disciples to positions at the Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy and promised to help several of them advance their cultivation. Seven years later, the Immortal Lord completed his power-stacking breakthrough but found that it had not extended his lifespan, and Su Hao asked to examine his body.

• Su Hao appointed Ashan, Feng Hua, Feng Yan, Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Cheng, Feng Yu'er, and Yun Qingping to academy roles and teaching posts.
• Su Hao promised to help Feng Hua and Feng Yan reach the Nascent Soul Realm and to help Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Yu'er, and Yun Qingping break through to the Golden Core Realm.
• Su Hao developed a Rune version of the Five Viscera Coordination Amplifier to help the three women sense their Five Viscera Rhythm.
• Seven years after beginning his breakthrough, the Immortal Lord told Su Hao that he had stacked four layers of Spirit Power, reaching a strength beyond Integration, but that his body was nearing its limit and his lifespan remained unchanged.
• The Immortal Lord said meeting Su Hao had shown him that his pursuit had been misguided, and Su Hao asked to examine the changes in the Immortal Lord's body.

Su Hao examined Immortal Lord, demonstrated the destructive power of a low-tier Wind Bullet, and recruited him to study spiritual power for the rest of his life. Afterward, Su Hao used Immortal Lord’s bodily data to investigate whether consciousness could survive apart from the body and decided to seek experimental subjects.

• Su Hao examined Immortal Lord and learned a new method of advancing spiritual power, while telling him that the Reincarnation Realm could extend his lifespan if he had attained it sooner.
• Su Hao demonstrated his Wind Bullet by blasting a distant mountain, astonishing Immortal Lord and drawing Lin Mei and Li Chi to investigate.
• Su Hao offered to share his knowledge of spiritual power if Immortal Lord worked for him until death, and Immortal Lord accepted while planning to travel with Lin Mei first.
• Immortal Lord advised Li Chi to understand and surpass the Crystal Thief before seeking revenge for Evil Joy, then set out to see the world as an ordinary person.
• Su Hao analyzed Immortal Lord’s bodily data and concluded that spiritual power might sustain thought as physical vitality failed.
• Su Hao decided to find people nearing death to use as consciousness experiment subjects, believing they might be revived if his research succeeded.

Su Hao began a plan to transform the mortal world by testing his spirit-powered machinery, and visited his Third Uncle Feng Xianglong to introduce a fast loom. The chapter ended as Feng Xianglong pressed the loom’s green button.

• Fairy Feng Ling, Feng Yu'er, Yun Qingping, Feng Hua, and Feng Yan made major cultivation breakthroughs and traveled aboard Starry Sky One toward the Thirty-Nine Mortal Domains.
• Ashan refused to let Feng Ling and Feng Yan take private materials from Feng Wei's Warehouse, suggesting they earn money to buy what they wanted.
• Su Hao finished calibrating the Automatic Spirit-Powered Loom and decided to begin with textile production and agriculture.
• Su Hao teleported to visit Feng Xianglong, learned about the Feng Family's businesses, and asked him to help with a new project.
• Su Hao demonstrated the loom and had Feng Xianglong press its green button.

Su Hao demonstrated a fast spirit-powered loom to Feng Xianglong and arranged for the Feng, Yun, Hua, and Zhang families to manufacture and sell it. He planned broader industrial and agricultural changes, then began preparing Feng Xianglong to cultivate and oversee mortal affairs.

• Su Hao showed Feng Xianglong how the loom rapidly produced high-quality cloth, and Feng Xianglong proposed joining forces with the Yun, Hua, and Zhang families.
• Su Hao assured Feng Xianglong he could protect the families, gave him a new Location Stone, and offered to help him cultivate and extend his life.
• Su Hao returned to Starry Sky Harbor and planned ways to expand spirit-powered industry while preventing shortages of cotton and grain, identifying energy as the main challenge.
• Three days later, Su Hao gave Feng Xianglong loom blueprints and instructions to recruit craftsmen and establish mass production.
• Two days afterward, Su Hao injected Feng Xianglong with Gene Modification Fluid containing Cultivation Talent, Teleport Balancer, and Prophet traits.
• A month later, Su Hao gave Feng Xianglong production-line blueprints and told him to attend the Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy as an auditor.

Su Hao brought Feng Xianglong to Starry Sky Harbor and designed an ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array so his Third Uncle could travel between the Academy, Starry Sky Harbor, and Molai Village. After Feng Xianglong successfully used it, he regained his determination to pursue cultivation despite his flawed talent.

• Su Hao teleported Feng Xianglong from Molai Village to Starry Sky Harbor, where Feng Xianglong began studying at the Cultivation Technology Academy.
• Su Hao designed an Ultra-Long-Distance Teleportation Array that could link distant locations using constantly activated Ultra-Mini Teleportation Arrays.
• At the Academy's opening ceremony, Feng Xianglong learned that Su Hao was revered as the Immortal Progenitor and struggled to make sense of what he saw.
• Five days later, Su Hao showed Feng Xianglong the completed Teleportation Arrays and taught him how to enter destination codes.
• Feng Xianglong successfully teleported to Molai Village and resolved to pursue immortal cultivation, convinced that his flawed Cultivation Talent did not determine his fate.

Su Hao returned to Annan Heng Prefecture to collect cultivator consciousnesses for his research, but his reappearance as the Crystal Thief frightened the region into a brief peace. As the legend spread across the Cultivation World, he decided to focus on nurturing a new generation rather than persuading established cultivators to change.

• Su Hao finished guiding Feng Xianglong's Starry Commerce and resumed researching vessels for consciousness, traveling to the chaotic Annan Heng Prefecture to gather experimental subjects.
• Su Hao found Daoist Cao and Lin Shenghua fighting, but a Nascent Soul Cultivator intervened; after the senior killed them, Su Hao recorded their Consciousness Information and fled.
• The red-robed Nascent Soul Cultivator recognized Su Hao as the Crystal Thief and hurried to warn his Sect Leader.
• Su Hao searched Annan Heng Prefecture and other regions, but rumors of the Crystal Thief's return made cultivators hide and brought a temporary peace.
• A year later, Su Hao observed that the Cultivation World had grown quieter and chose to nurture new cultivators instead of trying to reform existing Body Integration Cultivators.

Su Hao delegated the expansion of spirit power technology to Ashan and focused on experiments to free consciousness from the body. He tested whether human consciousness could inhabit animals, but the lizard experiment failed, and he decided to try other creatures.

• Ashan reported the growth of Starry Academy, Starry Commerce, and spirit power stone research, and Su Hao assigned him to lead development of spirit power products and planetary communications.
• Su Hao attended the opening ceremony for the Academy’s second class, then returned to his Laboratory and left Ashan to advance spirit power technology with the help of others.
• Su Hao gathered more than five hundred pieces of Consciousness Information and set out to make them move, beginning with experiments on human consciousness in animal bodies.
• Su Hao spared his obedient canine Summoned Beast and instead wiped a lizard’s shallow consciousness before implanting human Consciousness Information.
• Su Hao found that human consciousness could not naturally connect with the lizard’s brain, and forcing it in caused the brain to collapse and the lizard’s body to malfunction.
• Su Hao decided to test consciousness transfer on roosters, hens, cats, elephants, cattle, sheep, birds, monkeys, and apes.

After five years of expanding Starry Commerce, Su Hao learned that allied Immortal Sects had seized its factories across Resplendent Shell Province and killed its administrators. He prepared to confront them personally, while the chapter showed how Star Commerce had transformed daily life in the region.

• Su Hao concluded that his current methods could not transfer a person's complete consciousness into an animal brain and began considering experiments on brains that might attract consciousness information.
• Ashan told Su Hao that multiple Immortal Sects had seized Starry Commerce's factories across Resplendent Shell Province, killing many mid-level managers while core personnel escaped.
• Ashan explained that Starry Commerce's rapid spread, new industries, and Hydropower Spirit Stations had alarmed the Immortal Sects, who wanted to seize the company's technology and resources.
• Ashan admitted he could not withstand the large force of Cultivators, so Su Hao agreed to confront the attackers and punish them for killing people and taking the factories by force.
• Su Hao and Ashan walked through Moling City, where roads, vehicles, homes, and household devices showed how Star Commerce's technology had changed everyday life.
