Chapter Summaries

Wang Jixuan discovered a hidden subspace inside the moon and called Shen Qionglin to help find a way in. After studying the evidence, she proposed three possible approaches, leaving her boldest plan—and the price she wanted for it—unrevealed.

• Wang Jixuan mapped the area where the Stone of the Past reacted and learned that the moon had unexplained internal anomalies.
• Wang Jixuan sent his other soul into the moon and found a sealed subspace roughly a hundred kilometers across, but repeated attempts to enter it failed.
• Wang Jixuan and Ling Tong held a simple wedding ceremony while Earth prepared for possible spatial gates to appear.
• Shen Qionglin arrived, studied the lunar reports and the stone for five hours, and proposed three possible ways to access the subspace.
• Shen Qionglin suggested injecting spiritual energy into the stone from specific points, then asked Wang Jixuan to satisfy her curiosity if her final plan opened the subspace.

Wang Jixuan agreed to Shen Qionglin’s plan to use a disrupted Pseudo Stargate tunnel to activate the Stone of the Past, while her theories about civilization and the universe reshaped his understanding of the threat ahead. As the experiment began, the stone still showed no response, and Fu Jian moved part of his fleet toward the Moon to guard against interference.

• Shen Qionglin proposed placing the Stone of the Past in a Pseudo Stargate tunnel and destroying the tunnel to create a burst of distorted space-time, and Wang Jixuan agreed to try it with his soul avatar.
• Wang Jixuan tried and failed to refine the stone while Shen Qionglin explained how spiritual energy and Ina technology complemented each other and speculated about the Immortal Restriction Zone and higher planes.
• With most of the three-month deadline elapsed, Wang Jixuan worried that the Dark Cult and Heavenly Net might send powerful cultivators and wondered how to withstand or escape the Immortal’s Finger.
• Shen Qionglin told Wang Jixuan the experiment could begin in two hours, and Fu Jian said part of his fleet had arrived while the rest was still traveling through Stargates.
• Wang Jixuan asked Fu Jian to bring the fleet near the Moon, then tried to activate the stone with his Heart Blood; two hours later, the stone remained inert as his soul prepared to enter the Pseudo Stargate passage.

Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin activated the Stone of the Past by collapsing a space-time passage, but the stone pulled Wang Jixuan’s consciousness into an immortal palace. After exploring its overwhelming treasures and finding thousands of immortal bones, he encountered a living skeleton that sent him back to the stone.

• Shen Qionglin opened two Pseudo Stargates, and Wang Jixuan hid his other soul and the Second Life’s remnant soul inside the Stone of the Past as the passage collapsed.
• The Stone of the Past glowed with Seven-Colored Rosy Light, then pulled Wang Jixuan’s other soul and main consciousness inside while leaving San Jie Lang Lang Zi outside.
• Wang Jixuan found himself in a white-mist-shrouded immortal palace, where he encountered powerful Dao resonance, treasures, and pools whose waters could destroy his soul.
• Wang Jixuan discovered thousands of seated skeletons in the main hall and nearly gave in to the sorrowful thoughts lingering around them.
• A jade-white skeleton rose, called Wang Jixuan a demonic cultivator, and struck him, sending his wandering soul back before the Stone of the Past in tears.

Wang Jixuan entered the hidden realm inside the Stone of the Past with his primordial spirit and spoke with a mobile skeleton who offered him one wish. Instead of asking for help against an enemy, he asked about the Immortal Realm and the force that had blocked his ascent, and the skeleton revealed that his Cultivation World was a lesser realm tied to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

• After Wang Jixuan described the immortal palace, Shen Qionglin and the others prepared him to question the skeleton during a second experiment.
• Wang Jixuan’s primordial spirit entered the Stone of the Past and was drawn into the hidden realm.
• The mobile skeleton offered Wang Jixuan one wish, including the chance to have it kill one of his enemies.
• Wang Jixuan declined the offer and asked about the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Net, the Dark Cult, and the obstacle to his ascension.
• The skeleton explained that Wang Jixuan’s Cultivation World was a lesser realm and that Immortal Masters trained ascended cultivators as soldiers for forces controlling the Ascension Platforms.
• Wang Jixuan asked what the Immortal Restriction Zone meant.

The white skeleton explained the Immortal Realm, the forces that ruled it, and how the Moon God Palace fell nearly 3.9 million years ago. It also linked the Immortal Restriction Zone to agreements involving powerful collective Will Entities, then sent Wang Jixuan away with an Immortal Method.

• The white skeleton described the Immortal Realm as the universe’s Origin Land and explained the different cultivation environments, Ascension Platforms, and Immortal Realm forces.
• The white skeleton told Wang Jixuan that cultivators born in the Immortal Realm had major advantages, and recounted how the Moon God Palace lost its foothold after a Divine King plotted against it.
• Wang Jixuan asked about the Ina Civilization and restricted Teleportation Gates, prompting the white skeleton to explain Will Entities and the possibility that collective sublimation produced them.
• The white skeleton speculated that Immortal Realm experts and Will Entities had agreed to restrict cultivation and civilization in the region.
• The white skeleton offered Wang Jixuan a treasure, but Wang Jixuan declined; the white skeleton then sent him out of the Stone of the Past with a treasured sword and its ultimate Immortal Method.

Wang Jixuan learned about the Immortal Realm from Moonlight and considered how Earth might eventually build a force capable of reaching it, while preparing for the Dark Cult and Heavenly Net. With half a month left before the deadline, Heavenly Net’s group arrived on Earth before the Dark Cult appeared.

• Moonlight revealed the beginner chapter of the Moon God's Heart Condensing Art to Wang Jixuan, and Shen Qionglin mapped the Immortal Realm as a separate space-time region.

Hui Zhi Sanren led twelve Tianluo Faction cultivators to meet Wang Jixuan and coordinate against the Dark Cult, while both sides cautiously explored an alliance. After agreeing to use Wang Jixuan and an empty city as bait, Hui Zhi Sanren again invited him to return with the Heavenly Net, and he began stating his conditions.

After planning his next steps with Shen Qionglin and Gao Huating, he prepared to investigate the Dark Cult, whose arrival began just as the ground shook.

• Hui Zhi Sanren and the Tianluo Faction members explained that Heavenly Net would normally confine Wang Jixuan for a thousand years and punish him, but contributions could earn leniency.
• Wang Jixuan offered Heavenly Net the Core Circuit method in four installments, asking Hui Zhi Sanren to advocate for him and let him establish himself before sharing the remaining sections.

• Wang Jixuan told Shen Qionglin he planned to join Heavenly Net to pursue immortality and would try to bring Ling Tong and Gao Huating with him.
• Shen Qionglin advised Wang Jixuan to preserve Earth's spiritual energy as a bargaining point, while Wang Jixuan planned to capture a Dark Cultist and prepare defenses.
• The earth trembled near the Tianluo Faction, and a swirling mass of black light appeared.

Wang Jixuan faced the Dark Cult’s second wave while their Immortal Talisman disabled Earth’s technology, and he killed three attackers with a calculated ambush. He stalled the remaining enemies inside concealing black smoke as Earth’s orbital defenses joined the battle, then prepared another attack while the larger fight continued.

• The Dark Cult transmitted forty-two experts to Earth, and Wang Jixuan ordered the Tianluo Faction to flee into space while he stayed behind to confront the attackers.
• A Gray-haired Elder demanded Wang Zheng hand over the Core Circuit, and Wang Jixuan fought off the elder and twelve Dark Cultists before the elder used an Immortal Talisman to disable nearby electronics and Autonomous Mechs.
• Wang Jixuan used the force of a clash with the God-Slaying Claw to bait three Integration Realm cultivators into range, then killed all three with his saber, dragon, and spear.
• The Dark Cultists pursued Wang Jixuan with the God-Slaying Claw, but he released black smoke that blocked their senses and caused their long-range treasures to lose their connection to them.
• Earth’s Planetary Defense System fired on the Dark Cultists as Wang Jixuan concealed himself in the smoke, moved Black Needles toward his enemies, and sent a wave of black smoke crashing down on them.

Wang Jixuan killed the Gray-haired Elder with the Moonlight Sword and claimed the elder’s God-Slaying Claw. As he flew toward the battle in outer space, he negotiated with the Great Demon sealed inside the claw, who agreed to help him fight in exchange for a chance at freedom.

• The Gray-haired Elder tore through Wang Jixuan’s black smoke, but hidden Demon-Breaking Needles wounded him and disrupted his mana.
• Wang Jixuan attacked the Gray-haired Elder with his spear and bound him with a thorny rope, then used a turtle-shell treasure to withstand the elder’s magic treasures.
• Wang Jixuan drew the Moonlight Sword and cut the Gray-haired Elder in half, killing him before the nine Dark Cultists fled toward the battle in outer space.
• Wang Jixuan collected the elder’s remains and took the God-Slaying Claw, discovering that a Great Demon’s resentful soul was sealed within it.

• Nierda Tamon appeared on a screen, announced that he had recovered his peak strength, and challenged Wang Jixuan to a sparring match; Wang Jixuan accepted.

Wang Jixuan prepared his companions for their journey to a Tianluo Faction branch hall while Earth’s leaders discussed his departure and the threat it left behind. He and Amina began preparing a movable platform, but Hui Zhi Sanren called to him before their conversation could continue.

• At the cemetery, Zhou Zhengde, Ling Tong, and Wu Man discussed Wang Zheng’s departure, Nierda Tamon’s defeat, and the danger of leaving Earth without a powerful guardian.

• Wang Jixuan assigned Gao Huating the role of his Senior Disciple and warned Peony not to reveal Core Circuit technology to the Tianluo Faction.
• Wang Jixuan and Amina converted Old Sophie’s coffin into a movable platform, then Hui Zhi Sanren called to Wang Jixuan from outside.

Aboard Hui Zhi Sanren’s tower ship, Wang Jixuan learned about the True Realm of Youbao, the Immortal Spirit Paths, and Heavenly Net’s ties to the Heavenly Dao while she proposed they might become Dao companions someday. As they approached their destination, the ship was stopped on the Immortal Spirit Path by a Middle-aged Scholar, who faced a burly, masked man.

After handing over his Core Circuit methods and receiving a position marker and forty thousand contribution points, Wang Jixuan learned that the Heavenly Net was losing ground to the Dark Cult because the Three Realms were nearing their end.

• Yin Lin gave Wang Jixuan a pavilion, identity tokens, and forty thousand Contribution Points, making him a member of the Tianluo Faction.
• Wang Jixuan told his companions about Yin Lin's warning and reasoned that the Dark Cult had likely found him before the Tianluo Faction learned of him.
• Zheng Shiduo proposed building an organization of their own, and Wang Jixuan considered the forces and production lines available to them.
• Amina offered to pose as Wang Jixuan's puppet servant and look after him outside.

Wang Jixuan visited the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, spent his Contribution Points on pills, techniques, arrays, and treasures, then settled into cultivation at the Heavenly Net headquarters with Amina as his maid.
