Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei repeatedly shattered and restored Heaven Pillar Mountain to awaken the black rat’s Sky Chasing Rat bloodline to eighty percent, greatly increasing its range for sensing treasures. He followed its detection of Origin Crystals to Spirit Hidden Lake and entered the anomaly, where the lake transformed into a colossal city and a Glass Clan woman attacked him.

• Chen Fei used Rule Dust from Heaven Pillar Mountain to awaken the black rat’s bloodline, restoring and shattering the divine ability in repeated cycles.
• After five days, the black rat’s bloodline reached eighty percent, and its treasure-sensing range expanded from fifty li to two hundred li.
• Chen Fei restored Heaven Pillar Mountain, then used the black rat’s detection to locate Origin Crystals at Spirit Hidden Lake.
• Chen Fei entered Spirit Hidden Lake, where the scenery changed into a colossal city and a Glass Clan woman’s dagger struck his protective shield.

Chen Fei entered Spirit Hidden Lake’s strange city, learned that Rule Dust served as its currency, and rented a room before nightfall. Elsewhere in the Glassy Plane, Teng Li used a Rule Crystal to transform Wu Zhou into his duplicate and planned to twist more cultivators.

• Chen Fei crossed the city gate, resisted a powerful attack, and found himself among Glass Clan vendors and townspeople behaving as if they were alive.
• Black Mouse identified origin crystals among the goods, while Chen Fei realized the city was likely a projection shaped by distorted rules.
• At Thousand Cypress Mountain, Teng Li attacked his ally Wu Zhou and used a Rule Crystal to transform him into another Teng Li.
• Chen Fei learned that the city used Rule Dust as money and tested converting part of Heaven Pillar Mountain into copper coins.
• As darkness fell and a terrifying shadow passed his window, Chen Fei stayed in an inn rather than follow the Alien Races into the alleys.

Chen Fei discovered that the small city’s vendors exchanged valuable Spirit Crystals and that he could transform cheap pills into more expensive ones using his Space Grids. He planned to exploit this windfall to earn enough money and leave the city before another dangerous night.

• Chen Fei learned from Feng Haijie that the city gate demanded fifty coins to leave, then noticed deathly aura around him and resolved to depart that day.
• Chen Fei tested the gate and found that its guards did not stop him from forcing his way out, then bought accessories containing Spirit Crystals from a vendor.
• Chen Fei used the black rat to locate more Spirit Crystals and high-grade materials, spending nearly all his coins to obtain over a thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
• Chen Fei visited a pharmacy, learned its pill prices, and bought seven Blood Qi Pills for one coin each.
• Chen Fei used his Space Grids to extract a Spirit Crystal granule and damaged rune from a Blood Qi Pill, transforming his own granule into a Flying Star Pill worth ten coins.

Chen Fei exploited the Anomaly City's pharmacies to exchange pills for coins and gather Spirit Crystals, while carefully avoiding changes that might destabilize the city.

At Suspended Anchor Mountain, Duan An was overwhelmed and transformed by a group of identical ice-wielding figures. At Spirit Hidden Lake, the black rat revealed that an ordinary-looking tree near the County Magistrate was a Rule Crystal, while Ai Jing faced execution for refusing to examine a patient.

• Duan An found and collected a Thousand Cold Flower before an ice-wielding figure ambushed him.
• More than a dozen identical figures surrounded Duan An, subdued him, and changed him into one of their kind.
• The black rat told Chen Fei that its newly awakened bloodline had revealed Rule Crystals were in Spirit Hidden Lake, and identified a small tree beside the County Magistrate.
• A Glass Clan physician failed to diagnose the patient and was killed by a yamen runner.
• The County Magistrate ordered Ai Jing to examine the patient, but Ai Jing refused and was sentenced to death.

Chen Fei recognized that the County yamen’s rules gave the visitors no safe way to treat the patients or fight back, so he tested whether trade still worked in the courtyard. After buying a potted Rule Crystal, he killed all fifteen patients, leaving the County Magistrate and bailiffs watching without intervening.

• Chen Fei killed the remaining fourteen patients, and the County Magistrate and bailiffs did not stop him.

After killing the patients in the County yamen, Chen Fei was hunted by the Glass Clan and yamen runners as he tried to escape Anomaly City.

• Chen Fei and Feng Haijie’s group both saw the city gate but found they could not get any closer to it.

Chen Fei endured Anomaly City's escalating attacks, found a way past its fixed distance, and broke through the city gate. A black shadow restored the gate and swept the other Alien Races back, while Chen Fei was thrown outside Spirit Hidden Lake with a corroded Qian Yuan Sword.
