Chapter Summaries

Tan Chunyi and Pu Chunxu decided to seize Chen Fei and sent the Wu Brothers to capture him, while the Panfeng Sect began preparing to relocate to the Haifeng Domain. Ye Qishan realized the Panfeng Sect’s arrival could block the Qianren Sect’s plans for the secret realm, leaving the sect with little time to act.

• Tan Chunyi showed Pu Chunxu evidence linking Chen Fei to the disappearances of Duanmu Xiao and Kou Yuanheng, and they agreed to send the Wu Brothers to capture him.
• Qu Qingsheng welcomed Wei Zikuan and the Panfeng Sect’s advance party, then helped them inspect sites for their new headquarters.
• Ye Qishan ordered an investigation after learning the Yuan Chen Sword Sect was assisting the Panfeng Sect.
• Ye Qishan learned the Panfeng Sect would take none of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s resource sites and would arrive in the Haifeng Domain in a month.
• Ye Qishan concluded the Panfeng Sect’s arrival threatened the Qianren Sect’s plans to claim part of the secret realm, while direct intervention by the Grand Elder risked violating alliance rules.

Ye Qishan told Fu Xuanye that Panfeng Sect would arrive in Haifeng Domain, prompting Fu to halt Qianren Sect’s plans against Yuan Chen Sword Sect and secretly investigate it. There, he discovered three Mid Joint Aperture Realm intruders attacking Chen Fei, who effortlessly overpowered them.

• Ye Qishan informed Fu Xuanye that Panfeng Sect would arrive in Haifeng Domain in one month, and Fu ordered all actions against Yuan Chen Sword Sect to stop.
• Fu Xuanye used the Hidden Origin Bell to conceal his aura while scouting Yuan Chen Sword Sect, then sensed three hostile Mid Joint Aperture Realm cultivators enter the sect.
• Fu Xuanye recognized that the three intruders were dangerous and withdrew rather than risk confronting them.
• The Wu Brothers confronted Chen Fei in his courtyard, and Wu Hongxin attacked him with an iron hammer.
• Chen Fei brushed aside Wu Hongxin’s hammer and struck him hard, while the brothers’ cultivation technique shared and healed their injuries.
• Chen Fei seized Wu Hongxin, slammed him into the ground, and left all three brothers severely injured and unable to resist.

Chen Fei defeated the three Wu brothers, including Wu Hongzhong after he forced a breakthrough to the Late Joint Aperture Realm, and killed them before learning they came from the Sangying Sect. He collected their belongings and noticed their Universe Bags contained numerous cultivation technique jade slips, while a figure retreated to the southeast.

• Chen Fei shattered Fu Xuanye's Hidden Origin Bell shield, knocked him unconscious, and took his valuables before throwing him into the sea.
• Fu Xuanye awoke alive but robbed, suspected the Yuan Chen Sword Sect was responsible, and flew toward Huangshi City fearing for the Qianren Sect.

• Chen Fei's sword essence struck Tan Chunyi, who staggered under the force before a sword flash killed him.

Chen Fei killed Tan Chunyi and Pu Chunxu, then swept through the Sangying Sect forces at Tangnan Mountain. He seized the sect’s aura-concealing Bronze Bead and carried off its heavily sealed secret chamber.

• Chen Fei killed Tan Chunyi, then caught up with the fleeing Pu Chunxu and slew him with the Qian Yuan Sword.
• Chen Fei destroyed the two men’s bodies, took their Universe Bags and High-grade Magic Treasures, and left Tangnan Mountain.
• Sangying Sect cultivators either fled or charged forward, and Chen Fei’s Blood Refining Origin Art sword formation killed those who approached.
• Chen Fei took the Sangying Sect’s Bronze Bead and examined the tens of thousands of formations sealing its secret chamber.
• Chen Fei severed the formations connecting the secret chamber to the mountain, lifted the chamber with one hand, and vanished with it.

Chen Fei dismantled the Sangying Sect’s secret chamber formation and found cultivation methods, supplies for the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, and a living Qiluo Spiritual Tree. As the Haiguang City headquarters investigated the Blood Sun Sect’s destruction, Chen Fei returned to the sect and showed Qu Qingsheng the tree.

• Chen Fei sorted the spoils from the slain Sangying Sect cultivators and carried the secret chamber to a deserted island.

• Chen Fei returned to the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, gave Qu Qingsheng the gathered resources, and revealed the Qiluo Spiritual Tree.

Chen Fei gave the Qiluo Spiritual Tree to Qu Qingsheng for the Yuan Chen Sword Sect and studied the cultivation arts seized from rival sects. He rejected the Three Flowers Art for himself but wondered whether his avatar could use it if its aperture projection could be strengthened.

• Chen Fei gave Qu Qingsheng one Qiluo Spiritual Tree fruit for Zhou Zixun and left the other two for the sect to decide how to use.
• Qu Qingsheng stored the tree and planned to plant it within the Yuan Chen Sword Sect so it could bear more fruits in the future.
• Chen Fei examined the seized cultivation arts, keeping a few useful techniques and leaving the rest for the sect’s disciples.
• Chen Fei selected the Heavenly Evolution Pupil Technique to strengthen his Heavenly Eye and the Body Linking Art to share injuries with his avatar.
• Chen Fei studied the Three Flowers Art, recognized that its forced cultivation would damage his foundation, and considered whether his avatar could use it instead.
• Chen Fei realized his avatar’s aperture projection could not withstand the Three Flowers Art and wondered how he might strengthen it.

Chen Fei cultivated the Soul Breaking Technique, Body Linking Art, and Profound Sky Sword while considering how to strengthen his clone by condensing a flower. As sea demons expanded their invasions and Shen Yanhe failed to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, Chen Fei learned that the Thousand Feathers Alliance would open some of its arts and secret methods to Joint Aperture Realm cultivators.

• Chen Fei decided to study the Three Flowers Art and simplify the Body Linking Art into a method that gave him insights when clubs struck him.
• Sea demons occupied four sea regions, devouring some cultivators and enslaving many of the remaining civilians as they prepared to invade farther.
• Shen Yanhe failed his breakthrough to the Mountain Sea Realm and was gravely injured, spreading doubt among other Peak Joint Aperture Realm cultivators.
• Over three months, Chen Fei advanced the Soul Breaking Technique and Body Linking Art to Perfection and the Profound Sky Sword to Great Perfection.
• The Thousand Feathers Alliance announced that Joint Aperture Realm cultivators could visit its headquarters to cultivate selected arts and secret methods, and Chen Fei hoped to find a way to condense the Three Flowers quickly without harming his foundation.

Chen Fei and Tong Linyun visited Baka in the Third Order Secret Realm before setting out for the Thousand Feathers Alliance headquarters. On the way, they encountered a powerful uncanny disguised as a festive ship, and Chen Fei destroyed it with one sword strike.

• Baka explained that he managed the secret realm's spiritual materials for all five sects and received alchemists and medicinal brews in return.
• Chen Fei and Tong Linyun left the Haifeng Domain to attend the Thousand Feathers Alliance headquarters' invitation, while Qin Haisan and the others stayed behind.
• Chen Fei spotted a ship whose smiling passengers were uncanny paper figures, and Tong Linyun sensed that uncannies were appearing more often as deaths mounted.
• Chen Fei revealed the paper boat's true form and resisted its attempt to cloud his mind, while Tong Linyun briefly fell under its influence.
• Chen Fei struck the paper boat with the Qian Yuan Sword, reducing its paper figures to ash and cleaving the vessel in two.

Chen Fei and Tong Linyun reached Thousand Feathers City and explored the Thousand Feathers Alliance’s Scripture Depository for useful cultivation methods. Chen Fei found a risky method that might strengthen his clone, then went to the second floor seeking a faster way to condense the three flowers.

• Chen Fei trapped and killed the late third-tier eerie ship, then flew with Tong Linyun to Thousand Feathers City.
• The city steward registered Chen Fei and Tong Linyun and explained that Haiyu City contribution value granted them access to the Scripture Depository’s second floor.
• Chen Fei and Tong Linyun browsed the first floor’s cultivation methods, and Chen Fei found the Three Questions of Joint Aperture.
• Chen Fei memorized the method’s instructions for refining a demonic core into a joint aperture, considering whether his clone could use it.
• After finding no method to quickly condense the three flowers on the first floor, Chen Fei entered the second floor, where someone asked what cultivation method he needed.

Chen Fei searched the Thousand Feathers Alliance’s Scripture Depository for ways to speed up condensing the three flowers, but the second-floor methods did not meet his needs. He accepted a ten-day test for access to the third floor and began studying the Formless Art, already considering when to return.

• Zhang Qiuming advised Chen Fei about joint aperture cultivation and showed him the second floor’s cultivation arts and secret arts.
• Chen Fei examined the jade slips but found no method that could shorten his path to the peak joint aperture realm enough.
• Chen Fei asked how to enter the third floor, and Zhang Qiuming gave him a jade slip with a secret art to understand within ten days.
• Chen Fei met Tong Linyun, bought a courtyard residence with her in Thousand Feathers City, and discussed their cultivation that night.
• Chen Fei studied the Formless Art and realized the ten-day test would pose no problem for him.

Chen Fei passed Zhang Qiuming’s test and entered the Scripture Depository’s third floor, where he found the Unwavering Rule Method to help strengthen his three flowers. The chapter ended with his system simplifying the method into “Drinking Water.”

• Chen Fei perfected the Formless Art and spent the remaining days cultivating techniques while waiting to take Zhang Qiuming’s test.
• Chen Fei disguised himself at a marketplace gathering and sold the altered iron hammers for six thousand three hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
• Chen Fei demonstrated the Formless Art to Zhang Qiuming, passed the test, and received access to the third floor of the Scripture Depository.
• Chen Fei examined the third-floor techniques and found the Unwavering Rule Method, which suited his extraordinary joint apertures and could strengthen his three flowers.
• Chen Fei’s system simplified the Unwavering Rule Method into Drinking Water.

Chen Fei traded a Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill for the spiritual materials needed to cultivate the first flower with the Unwavering Rule Method. He began condensing the flower, and it settled toward his joint aperture as the chamber’s primordial energy surged toward him.

• Chen Fei practiced the Unwavering Rule Method for twenty days until it reached the Proficient Realm.
• At a trading gathering, Chen Fei exchanged a Seven Treasures Soul Returning Pill with Chang Yuanyin for a thousand year snow silkworm, silver frost grass, and phoenix fire spirit fruits.
• Chen Fei asked Chang Yuanyin to look for heavenly gang lingzhi, which he needed for his second flower.
• Chen Fei returned to his courtyard and began condensing his first flower from vital essence using the spiritual materials.
• The first flower formed above Chen Fei’s joint aperture, and primordial energy surged toward him as it descended to settle onto the aperture.

After advancing to seventh turn joint aperture, Chen Fei’s physique neared a mysterious barrier, and he adapted to its heightened sensitivity while searching Thousand Feathers City for heavenly gang lingzhi. He learned that Peng Xu Ming would trade the lingzhi for rescuing people in the outer seas, and agreed to hear the mission details.

• Chen Fei reached seventh turn joint aperture, consumed more than half his spirit stones, and sensed that his physique had approached a barrier beyond which lay a mountain sea realm physique.
• Chen Fei’s new bodily sensitivity affected his time with Tong Linyun, then he spent the following days consolidating his realm and searching Thousand Feathers City for heavenly gang lingzhi.
• Two months later, Chen Fei perfected the Unwavering Rule Method and restored his Heavenly Eye to great perfection, but still lacked the lingzhi needed to condense his second flower.
• At a marketplace exchange gathering, Chang Yuanyin told Chen Fei that Peng Xu Ming had heavenly gang lingzhi and wanted someone to rescue people in the outer seas in exchange for it.
• Chen Fei inspected Peng Xu Ming’s lingzhi and agreed to consider the rescue mission, asking how many people needed saving and which sea region they were in.

Chen Fei accepted Peng Xu Ming’s commission to rescue people stranded in Feng Hu City, traveling alone toward the Qinguang Sea Region. After leaving Thousand Feathers City, he let five cultivators who had been pursuing him catch up, then killed Qian Shi Xing with a single blow.

• Chen Fei and Peng Xu Ming formally witnessed their private agreement at the Mission Hall, where Peng Xu Ming deposited both spiritual materials.
• Chen Fei told Tong Linyun he would be away for ten days to a month, then left Thousand Feathers City three days later.
• Five cultivators led by Yi Yue Zhong followed Chen Fei out of the city, intending to rob him of the valuables he had traded for at recent exchange gatherings.
• Chen Fei stopped to face the pursuers, appeared before Qian Shi Xing with extraordinary speed, and smashed him into a cloud of blood mist.

Chen Fei killed Yi Yue Zhong and the others, then traveled through sea demon-occupied regions toward Feng Hu City. After arriving in the city, he confronted Yu Qi Wu while seeking information about Peng Xu Ming's relatives.

• Kou Mao Jiang tried to report Peng Huai Tao and the others to the sea demons, but Chen Fei's avatar killed him before he could leave.
• Chen Fei led Peng Huai Tao, Peng Yue Lan, and their companion through the seawater toward the Minghu Sea Region, and they left Feng Hu City behind.

• After checking that no other Third Order sea demons were nearby, Chen Fei attacked Yan Liu and Hai Ao with the Qian Yuan Sword as they struck back.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Hai Ao with his strength, then broke Yan Liu’s Demon King Bloodline talent after it sealed him. He killed Hai Ao and turned to face Yan Liu, who watched him warily.

• Chen Fei pierced Hai Ao’s body, severed his tentacles, and claimed his Demonic Core and flesh essence.
• Chen Fei turned to Yan Liu, who stared at him with wariness.
