Chapter Summaries

Ning Ze settled in Chenyue City, registered for the son-in-law competition, and joined the Sea Monsters’ Day of Tide Music ritual to avoid exposing himself. As the city’s singing stirred his Sea Monster Heart and revealed thoughts through visions, he feared someone might sense his own.

• Ning Ze rented a Pearl Guest Room for one hundred days and decided to register for the competition to seek a Noble’s genes.
• At the City Lord’s Mansion, Ning Ze registered as Ze Feng, a Ninth Order Flying Heaven Realm cultivator from Kun Ning Sea Domain, and refused to reveal his face despite warnings about Duchess Yingshuang’s preferences.
• Ning Ze cultivated in seclusion for twenty days before an attendant summoned him to the Day of Tide Music ritual.
• Ning Ze joined the city’s festivities and watched a Domain Lord level Sea Monster lead the singing from the crown-like platform.
• As the Sea Monsters’ song made his Sea Monster Heart tremble, Ning Ze sang along and entered a vision where he sensed others’ thoughts, leaving him afraid someone could sense his.

Ning Ze used an illusion technique to hide his past from City Lord Xiyue during the Day of Tide Music, then drove her away without revealing his identity. Heartbroken, Xiyue decided to enter the Abyss of the Deep Sea trial, and her master agreed to help her prepare.

• Ning Ze realized the Sea Monster World’s influence was growing stronger and that he risked exposing his memories if he stayed in the ritual too long.
• City Lord Xiyue approached Ning Ze, mistaking his guardedness for pride and becoming attracted to him.
• Ning Ze used Illusion Heart to fabricate a past for Ze Feng, and Xiyue fell for the persona before discovering that his goal was Duchess Yingshuang.
• Ning Ze expelled Xiyue’s energy from his Sea Monster Heart and began driving away the other Sea Monsters who appeared before him.
• Xiyue watched the challengers’ Blue Whale Sea Ship depart and contacted her master to ask to enter the Abyss of the Deep Sea trial.
• Xiyue’s master warned her of the trial’s dangers but agreed to register her and send a spacecraft to bring her to him after she insisted.

Yin Ke searched for Water Spirit Crystals while Ning Ze prepared to compete in Duchess Yingshuang’s husband selection in Anxi City. As Grand Duke Hai Yao and Duchess Yingshuang arrived, Ning Ze recognized the celebrated contestant Yin Ke as another Celestial Visitor from the Virtual Universe Company.

• Yin Ke searched the seabed for Water Spirit Crystals and planned to enter the husband selection if the crystals were in Duchess Yingshuang’s possession.
• Ning Ze joined the contestants in Anxi City, studied the competition rules, and prepared a new Secret Art for the matches.
• The final group of contestants arrived, and Yin Ke’s perfect appearance astonished the Sea Monsters while Ning Ze recognized his unusual scales as evidence that he was a Celestial Visitor.
• Yin Ke dismissed the local contestants and noticed Ning Ze’s Black Robe, while Ning Ze wondered whether Yin Ke had recognized him.
• Grand Duke Hai Yao and Duchess Yingshuang arrived at Central Square, and Yin Ke greeted them without bowing.

Ning Ze attended Duchess Yingshuang’s martial contest for a husband and assessed the royal Sea Monsters who arrived to oversee it. As the preliminary matches were rapidly decided with little or no fighting, Yin Ke demonstrated his strength, leaving Ning Ze concerned that he could not use his full power against him.

• Ning Ze noticed Duchess Yingshuang’s interest in Yin Ke but decided not to remove his Black Robe or alter his established persona.
• King Bi Hai arrived in Anxi City and declared the contest open, announcing that the victor would marry Duchess Yingshuang and become a Noble.
• Ning Ze received registration number 11852 and realized that the contest’s many preliminary matches were being decided almost instantly by the referees.
• A referee declared Ning Ze the winner before he fought or even met his opponent, and Ning Ze left the arena baffled by the selection process.
• Yin Ke defeated an opponent with a swift attack using the Gold Origin Law, and Ning Ze judged that Yin Ke’s Law comprehension exceeded his own.

Ning Ze and Yin Ke advanced through the Sea Monster competition and entered the Day of Tide Music, where Duchess Yingshuang chose to exchange memories with Yin Ke first. Yin Ke’s fabricated history failed to impress her, leaving his standing with her uncertain.

• Ning Ze defeated Spike Wheel with a single sword strike, while Yin Ke later won his match and gained cheers as the “Son of the Ocean.”
• Ning Ze assessed Yin Ke’s combat limits and concluded that his own strength would give him the advantage in a final confrontation.
• Ning Ze and Yin Ke advanced through the remaining rounds without facing each other, and the seventh day brought the Day of Tide Music to Chenyue City.
• King Bi Hai’s illusion revealed Ning Ze’s handsome appearance, and Duchess Yingshuang hesitated before choosing Yin Ke for their first exchange of memories.
• Yin Ke showed Duchess Yingshuang his carefully prepared memories of rising from a village genius, but she found his story unimpressive and provincial.

Ning Ze defeated Yin Ke’s attacks in the marriage-selection final, but Yin Ke exposed his alien identity and attacked with an Original Force Weapon. King Bi Hai revealed an enormous World Projection and crushed Yin Ke’s Cloud-Soaring Vine, then imprisoned Ning Ze after Yin Ke called him Prince Ning Ze; Ning Ze summoned Star Leaf for help.

• Duchess Yingshuang rejected both candidates as romantic choices and declared that she preferred the strong in a fair battle.
• Ning Ze and Yin Ke began the final match, and Ning Ze blocked Yin Ke’s first two attacks with his Sea Tide Styles.

• Yin Ke released his Cloud-Soaring Vine and threatened King Bi Hai, but King Bi Hai crushed most of it with his World Projection.
• Yin Ke begged Ning Ze to save him, prompting King Bi Hai to imprison Ning Ze as he called on Star Leaf for help.

Ning Ze and King Bi Hai faced an imminent Meteorite Bomb explosion after Yin Ke activated the forbidden weapon. Ning Ze convinced King Bi Hai to shelter inside his Internal World, then fled in his spaceship as the detonation approached.

• Ning Ze flew toward Yin Ke but struck him with the Morning Light Sword, slowing his escape from King Bi Hai.
• Yin Ke activated a Meteorite Bomb, and Ning Ze and King Bi Hai both used mental attacks, discovering Yin Ke was already dead.
• Ning Ze learned the bomb would detonate in three to five seconds and warned King Bi Hai that he could shelter it inside his Internal World.
• Ning Ze threatened that the blast would destroy Anxi City and King Bi Hai's kin, persuading King Bi Hai to enter his Internal World beside the bomb.
• Ning Ze boarded his silver spaceship and ordered Wu Bai to accelerate away before the explosion.

Ning Ze escaped King Bi Hai with a Meteorite Bomb and reconsidered the dangers of the Sea Monster World, while King Bi Hai discovered a valuable detector and set out to hunt him. The chapter ended with Baron Soya joining the pursuit after hearing that the escaped human could be tracked.

• Ning Ze escaped the Meteorite Bomb’s blast, admitted he had underestimated the danger, and ordered Wu Bai to take the ship toward the world’s shielded upper reaches.
• Wu Bai identified the other Celestial Visitor as Yin Ke, and Ning Ze reflected on his mistakes and suspected that Yin Ke had found an opportunity in a Secret Realm.
• King Bi Hai returned to Anxi City, reassured Grand Duke Hai Yao and Duchess Yingshuang, and revealed an advanced detector taken from Yin Ke’s Space Ring.
• King Bi Hai concluded that the detector could help him track Ze Feng and left to pursue him while Grand Duke Hai Yao prepared to return to the Vast Sea Temple.
• Baron Soya contacted King Bi Hai, and King Bi Hai told him that the detector would keep the escaped human from getting away.

Ning Ze realized the Sea Monsters were tracking him and led his Wind of Time Clone toward Gao Tian Feng Domain, planning to use its deadly winds against his pursuers. While King Bi Hai and Baron Soya watched his approach, Ning Ze began cultivating and prepared to turn the encirclement to his advantage.

• Ning Ze reviewed his mistakes after the battle at Anxi City, sensed danger, and chose to keep flying rather than stop for the second-stage mission reward.
• King Bi Hai and Baron Soya pursued Ning Ze for over a Light Year, then arranged for Vast Sea Temple to send Domain Lords and surround him.
• Ning Ze sent his Earthling Main Body away and remained in his spaceship with his Wind of Time Clone as hundreds of enemy ships closed in.
• Ning Ze chose the route to Gao Tian Feng Domain, reasoning that its violent winds would ground both his spaceship and the Sea Monsters’ ships and favor his concealment.
• Ning Ze told Wu Bai to pilot toward the domain while he cultivated, aiming to reach the Tenth Floor of Tongtian Bridge in Law Comprehension.
• King Bi Hai tracked Ning Ze’s spaceship and dismissed his doubts about the Overclock Jammer as his forces approached Gao Tian Feng Domain.

Ning Ze learned that Hou Fu Chen was a clone of Venerable Jing Ran and received a warning about the Sea Monster World’s dangerous super reward mission. His Wind of Time Clone reached the Gao Tian Feng Domain, where he prepared to turn the tables on the Sea Monsters.

• Luo Feng told Ning Ze that people believed he had taken Venerable Jing Ran as his teacher, but Ning Ze denied it and went to question Hou Fu Chen.
• Hou Fu Chen revealed that he was Venerable Jing Ran’s clone and advised Ning Ze to pursue the Sea Monster World’s super reward mission cautiously.
• Ning Ze learned that the Sea Monster World was ancient and that its super reward could benefit him even at the World Lord and Undying stages.
• Ning Ze returned to his secret chamber and considered the secret of the Noble Sea Monsters’ scales while his Original Body continued toward the Abyss of the Deep Sea.
• Ning Ze’s Wind of Time Clone arrived at the edge of the Gao Tian Feng Domain and prepared to take the fight to the Sea Monsters.

Ning Ze, using his Wind of Time Clone, confronted the Sea Monster Domain Lord Kun Hao in the Gao Tian Feng Domain and tested his strength against him. After fusing Gene Energy and Mental Power, Ning Ze struck Kun Hao with a vastly stronger sword attack, but was surprised that Kun Hao took less damage than expected.

• King Bi Hai lost Ning Ze’s trace on his detector and warned Kun Hao that the human was a dangerous genius who could kill Domain Lords.
• Kun Hao refused to retreat and met Ning Ze, who gave his name as Ze Feng and said they had one minute to fight.
• Ning Ze and Kun Hao exchanged attacks, and Ning Ze judged that Kun Hao’s World Projection and Law Comprehension were weaker than he had anticipated.
• Ning Ze fused Gene Energy and Mental Power, then used Thousand Jade Absolute Void to overwhelm Kun Hao’s fist defense and send him flying.
• Ning Ze saw Kun Hao survive the strike with little damage and wondered why the attack had not hurt him more.

Ning Ze used a Thousand Illusions clone to split the Sea Monsters’ pursuit, then killed Kun Hao after drawing him into the storm. The Sea Monsters began forming teams to hunt him, while Ning Ze collected Kun Hao’s scales and decided to remain in their world longer.

• Ning Ze realized Kun Hao could survive his attacks and lured him away from the approaching Keda by heading into the Gao Tian Feng Domain’s violent winds.
• Ning Ze used Thousand Illusions to create a clone and sent the two figures in opposite directions, leaving Kun Hao unable to tell which was the original.
• Kun Hao pursued Ning Ze’s original body and, after Ning Ze grew stronger, sent a final message to King Bi Hai before dying.
• The Sea Monsters mourned Kun Hao, then organized into groups to hunt Ning Ze and avenge him.
• Ning Ze stripped Kun Hao’s scales, completed the super reward, and decided to stay in the Sea Monster World to investigate its powerful races.

Ning Ze killed a Sea Monster in the Abyss of the Deep Sea and learned that the trial held powerful World Lord opponents, while his Wind of Time Clone continued to grow in the Gao Tian Feng Domain. As Sea Monster teams closed in on him despite his concealment, Ning Ze realized they might be tracking him through the seawater carried into the sky.

• Ning Ze killed a Fifth Order World Lord Sea Monster, warned Wu Bai not to underestimate the trial’s opponents, and took the Sea Monster token marked “Haohai.”
• Ning Ze continued deeper into the Abyss of the Deep Sea, where he planned to pause in the Eighth Order World Lord zone until Star Leaf reached Ninth Order World Lord.
• Over forty years, Ning Ze’s Wind of Time Clone became a Domain Master and reached Seventh Order Domain Lord while fighting Sea Monsters in the Gao Tian Feng Domain.
• Ning Ze detected teams of Sea Monsters encircling him, including powerful pursuers such as Baron Soya, and escaped deeper into the darkness.
• When the pursuers continued following his changing route, Ning Ze reasoned that the Sea Monster Hearts might be tracking him through the seawater in the Gao Tian Feng Domain.

Ning Ze's Wind of Time Clone vanished from the Sea Monsters' perception, prompting King Bi Hai to reorganize the search while the hunters waited for him to reappear. In the Abyss of the Deep Sea, Ning Ze struggled against the powerful Ensi, whose attacks were draining the Seven Star Sword Grass, and prepared an unknown method to escape.

• Ning Ze used Dream Feather Eternal Slumber to hide his Wind of Time Clone inside its Star Core, making the Sea Monsters lose track of him.
• Suo Ya and the other Sea Monsters reported that Ning Ze had disappeared, and King Bi Hai ordered the weaker hunters to withdraw while the strongest formed a wide search perimeter.
• Ning Ze fought Ensi in the Abyss of the Deep Sea, but Ensi's trident shattered his sword attack and left the Seven Star Sword Grass with only 33% of its World Power.
• Ning Ze realized the Sea Monster Heart had exposed his identity and considered using a dangerous method to escape Ensi.
• Ning Ze slowed down, asked Ensi's name, and raised a hand to the left side of his chest as Ensi watched cautiously.

Ning Ze escaped Sea Monster Ensi by tearing out his Sea Monster Heart, surviving Ensi’s attack, and splitting into clones, though he was left gravely injured. Ensi abandoned the chase but renewed his resolve to pursue Ning Ze, who continued toward the Black Stone Cave with Seven Star Sword Grass carrying him.

• Ning Ze ripped out his Sea Monster Heart and stripped away his Sea Monster scales to obscure his location from Ensi.
• Ning Ze and Ensi clashed with their World Powers, and Ensi believed he had killed Ning Ze when the human vanished after the explosion.
• Ensi sensed Ning Ze’s faint aura and realized he had been tricked, then found three identical auras and understood that Ning Ze’s clones had made him impossible to track reliably.
• Ensi reflected on his old dream of helping the Sea Monster World rise beyond the Sea Gods, then chose to keep pursuing Ning Ze despite being unable to kill him easily.
• Ten million kilometers away, Ning Ze ordered Seven Star Sword Grass to avoid an Eighth Order World Lord and head for the Black Stone Cave while he and his companion recovered from their severe injuries.

Ning Ze reached Black Stone Mountain after evading a Sea Monster for two years and hid inside its tunnels to recover. In the Virtual Universe, he looked for a way to earn enough Points for his next cultivation text and learned that Illusion Sea might offer a solution.

• Ning Ze learned that he needed one million Points to buy the fourth volume of "Vast Wind Language," and Wu Bai suggested challenging Illusion Sea after ruling out the Original Tongtian Mountain as too difficult.
• Wu Bai explained that passing Illusion Sea's thirteenth level would earn over 1.5 million Points, though its challenges tested consciousness and spirit at an Undying level.
• Ning Ze entered Black Stone Mountain with Seven Star Sword Grass, traveled through its caves, and concealed himself in a natural metal cave after sending Star Leaf to recuperate.
• Ning Ze entered the Virtual Universe and met Uka, who warned him that the mission worlds were dangerous and that he and Luo Feng should be careful.

Ning Ze passed the Illusion Sea trials while studying how their illusions worked, then shattered a deadly vision of Ning Chen’s death and pushed onward. The Guardian Elder summoned Venerable Jing Ran, who watched Ning Ze suppress the Tenth Floor’s Will Impact and left the question of whether his method followed the rules unresolved.

• Ning Ze teased Uka by claiming he had advanced to the Tenth Floor of Tongtian Bridge and needed a million Points for a cultivation secret art, leaving Uka stunned.
• Ning Ze entered Illusion Sea and slowly examined its illusions as he passed the first seven floors, puzzling the Guardian Elder.
• Ning Ze reached the Eighth Floor, experienced an illusion of Ning Chen dying, and shattered the false world with his Will Impact.
• Ning Ze carried the shattered illusion into the next floor and passed the Ninth Floor, prompting the Guardian Elder to contact powerful figures.
• Venerable Jing Ran arrived and watched Ning Ze suppress the Tenth Floor’s Will Impact, while the Guardian Elder decided the matter was beyond his authority.

Ning Ze advanced through Illusion Sea far beyond the Venerables’ predictions, reaching the eighteenth island and enduring pressure comparable to a King’s. He condensed his will into a sword, cleared the island, and flew toward the next trial.

• More than a hundred Venerables gathered to watch Ning Ze, and Kandri predicted that his limit would be the fourteenth island while Venerable Jing Ran agreed despite not understanding Ning Ze’s technique.
• Ning Ze passed through the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth Illusion Sea islands, astonishing the Venerables with will beyond his Domain Lord level.
• Ning Ze entered the eighteenth island and was overwhelmed by pressure comparable to a King’s, leaving the watching powerhouses convinced he had reached his limit.
• Ning Ze’s will condensed into a sword, golden light pierced the illusion, and he cleared the eighteenth island.
• Ning Ze flew toward the next island, while the Venerables realized his Mental Will was comparable to a King’s despite his Universe level.

After reaching the Eighteenth Floor of the Illusion Sea, Ning Ze spent his reward on Vast Wind Language and returned to hiding in the Abyss of the Deep Sea while recovering. When Xiyue found him, she revealed information about the Territory Rotation, agreed to keep his location secret, and left after Ning Ze confirmed her thoughts.

• Ning Ze failed to withstand the sudden pressure on the Nineteenth Island, then returned to his manor and bought Volume Five of Vast Wind Language with his Illusion Sea points.
• Ning Ze recovered from his injuries in a hidden cave while Sea Monsters searched for him on En Si's orders.
• Xiyue discovered Ning Ze behind a patched wall, recognized him as human, and promised not to reveal his location.
• Xiyue told Ning Ze about the Territory Rotation and its connection to the world's exit and a husband-selection event.
• Ning Ze used a Mind Illusion to verify Xiyue's intentions, then let her go; Xiyue reported to En Si that she had found no trace of the human.

Ning Ze discovered how the Laws could bridge time and space, gained recognition from the Wind Origin Law, and entered the Law Origin Land. When Sea Monster Ensi attacked with reinforcements approaching, Ning Ze fought back and killed him.

• Ning Ze reached the end of the Gao Tian Feng Domain and realized that the Laws could blend through the other Origin Laws, offering a path to fuse time and space.
• Ning Ze returned to Black Stone Cave, gained recognition from the Wind Origin Law, and entered the Law Origin Land through its faint summons.
• Sea Monster Ensi sensed the Law Origin’s descent, found Ning Ze, and called Fu Sha and Kashuro for help.
• Ning Ze fought Ensi with Space-Time Combined Strike and Illusion God, then pierced Ensi’s skull and shattered his Life Core.
