Chapter Summaries

At the foot of the mountain, Ling Qingzhu figured out that the Chaos God Light reflected attacks and forced climbers to endure increasing pressure. Ying Huanhuan reached the three hundred and thirty-fourth stair before being thrown back, and Ling Qingzhu also fell after losing contact with the Supreme’s power; Ye Feng then assigned Lin Dong to sweep the stairs.

• Ling Qingzhu tested the Chaos God Light and explained that it reflected attacks toward their users while applying stronger pressure with each step.
• Ling Qingzhu climbed to the one hundred and eleventh stair, where the pressure doubled, and reflected on Ye Feng’s power and her regret about their encounter in the Nirvana expert’s tomb.

Ye Feng’s disciples and other cultivators endured a year-long trial on Lin Family Mountain’s thousand and one stairs, where the Chaos God Light strengthened cultivation while increasing pressure. As the first round ended, more than a hundred reached the summit, and a badly wounded man made the final step just before time ran out.

• Ye Feng sent Lin Dong to sweep the stairs as punishment and ordered Mu Lingsha to accompany her fiancé.
• Ye Feng explained to Lin Qingtan that Lin Dong needed to temper his resolve, while Lin Qingtan worried she could not keep up with Ye Feng’s affection alone.
• Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan reached the one thousand and first stair after six months, then returned to the Chaos God Light to cultivate; Lin Langtian and Mu Qianqian did the same at eight months.
• On the first day of the Lunar New Year, over a hundred cultivators reached the summit, while Lin Zhentian reminded those still climbing that only three shichen remained.
• A wounded burly man struggled to climb the final stair until, with only a cup of tea’s time left, he forced himself onto it and collapsed as the blood in his wounds burst forth.

Ye Feng saved the burly man and set the second trial, which challenged the participants to comprehend laws of heaven and earth from a vision of the universe’s cycle. Ling Qingzhu and several others passed, and Lin Zhentian led them toward Ye Feng’s final trial.

Ye Feng’s disciples faced illusions that forced them to confront themselves, and the assessment ended with several candidates gaining valuable insights despite failing. After accepting a burly man as his disciple, Ye Feng awakened the man’s stone-egg child, who was named Chi You.

• Lin Qingtan asked Ye Feng to examine Ying Huanhuan, whose illusion showed her saving her Eldest Senior Sister and defeating the Yuan Sect before she rejected the fantasy as an obstacle to her growth.
• Ying Huanhuan then faced a hostile version of herself, while the other candidates encountered opponents with their own abilities and fought to overcome them.
• Ying Huanhuan emerged first, and Ye Feng explained that she had been inside an illusion; Lin Langtian also defeated himself and grew more awed by Ye Feng.

He urged Wang Yan to pursue strength through his own efforts and taught him to draw on soul power, physical strength, and willpower as well as Yuan energy.

• Chi Hao told Ye Feng that his son had been born from a stone egg after a thousand and one days in the womb, and explained his Nine Li Tribe background.

• Ye Feng told Wang Yan to earn his revenge through his own efforts and taught him to develop soul power, physical strength, and willpower alongside Yuan energy.

Ye Feng demonstrated how intent could become an attack, prompting Wang Yan to comprehend Blade Intent, then gave Lin Langtian the Stone Talisman. As Ying Huanhuan wondered what Ye Feng would teach or give her, he reflected that he lacked enough cultivation methods and Martial Arts for his disciples.

• A gray seal awakened the Ice Master's power in Ying Huanhuan, and Ye Feng contained the freezing force before it could spread beyond the residence.

• Ye Feng checked his status panel and invested all 278,618 distributable Attribute Points in Defense, raising its bonus to 288,734.
• Ye Feng chose Anti-Armor Critical Strike, a skill that reflected physical and energy attacks but could fail against stronger opponents and did not work against spiritual attacks.

• Ye Feng used a hand seal to gather Heaven and Earth Essence and restore the elder’s physical body.

Ye Feng resurrected Black Eyes Old Man, who offered him the sealed Devour Talisman Ancestor, but Ye Feng declined and let his disciples choose its next owner. After Ling Qingzhu explained that Ancestral Symbols were keys to comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, Ye Feng selected Lin Langtian to receive the method to unseal the Devour Talisman Ancestor.
