Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei entered a damaged Inheritance Land with other Ninth Order cultivators and examined its ruined trial halls, hoping the panel could compile information from their runes. After inspecting twenty-seven halls, he encountered a confrontation between Liao Xingfeng and Fang Xiyun over a Black Iron Block, which neither took.

• Chen Fei entered the damaged Inheritance Land and found its thirty-six gateways and trial halls severely ruined.

• Chen Fei inspected twenty-seven halls before an explosion came from the thirty-third gateway.
• Chen Fei found Liao Xingfeng confronting Fang Xiyun over a Black Iron Block as other Ninth Order cultivators watched.
• Fang Xiyun left after dismissing the block as ordinary, and Liao Xingfeng also departed after nodding to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei discovered an incomplete Three Heads Six Arms inheritance in the runes of the destroyed Inheritance Land and studied enough to gain one extra head and arm. As he considered how to reach the other inheritance sites, he saw Liao Xingfeng being hunted by two Ninth Order powerhouses and pleading for help.

• The Ninth Order powerhouses judged the Black Iron Block useless, while Chen Fei struck it thirteen times to study its runes and then left it behind.
• Chen Fei discovered the incomplete Three Heads Six Arms cultivation art in the twenty-ninth hall and realized its extra limbs would be flesh and blood rather than vital-energy manifestations.
• Chen Fei examined every hall, improving the inheritance enough to cultivate one additional head and arm, with the extra head able to breathe Soul Burning Blazing Flames.
• Chen Fei concluded that the other eight Inheritance Lands might hold the missing inheritance but were guarded by more than ten Ninth Order Supreme Races, so he considered making a disturbance to draw them away.
• Liao Xingfeng was hunted by a Ninth Order Early Stage Peak cultivator and a Ninth Order Mid Stage powerhouse, and he looked to Chen Fei with a pleading expression.

Chen Fei rescued Liao Xingfeng from Fang Changzhi and Fang Xiyun after Liao Xingfeng revealed an Inheritance Stone that could secretly connect to eight other inheritance grounds. Chen Fei took the stone and fled with Liao Xingfeng into the plane’s upper region, but their pursuers caught up as they prepared to change locations.

• Fang Changzhi and Fang Xiyun attacked Liao Xingfeng, who revealed to Chen Fei that he had found an Inheritance Stone with two trial slots linking to the other eight inheritance grounds.

• Liao Xingfeng handed Chen Fei the Inheritance Stone, and Chen Fei confirmed that it could secretly access the trials.
• Fang Changzhi and Fang Xiyun caught up, so Chen Fei used the Wind Thunder Array and his wings to flee with Liao Xingfeng again.

• Chen Fei entered the formation and struck Fang Changzhi five times, knocking away the Crimson Soul Saber, breaking his protective treasure, and cutting his neck.

Chen Fei killed Fang Changzhi and Fang Xiyun inside his grand array, then absorbed their spiritual essence and discovered a Ninth Order High-grade cultivation method. He learned Fang Changzhi truly had close ties to a Ninth Order Late Stage member of the Tiger Clan, leaving the danger of retaliation unresolved.

By exploiting his powerful Time Subordinate Rules and hidden reserves, he defeated Xin Xiang again in the fifteenth trial, leaving two trials before the complete inheritance.

Chen Fei began the sixteenth trial while injured, racing to secure the final portion of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts as Ninth Order Peak cultivators attacked the inheritance ground. He used the Space Grid to spring a Ninth Order High-grade mystic formation and a sudden sword strike on the Heart Manifestation, blasting its body apart.

• A sword radiance appeared behind the Heart Manifestation as Chen Fei shifted to defense, and the combined assault blasted its body into spiritual light.

Chen Fei completed the inheritance trials, acquired the remaining portions of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and left the collapsing inheritance grounds as they struck back at the ninth order peak experts. After escorting the badly injured Liao Xingfeng toward safety, Chen Fei headed for the location on Xinxiang’s map and fused his techniques into Dragon Elephant Void Return.

• Chen Fei searched the already-cleared palaces for runes or traces of cultivation techniques but found nothing.
• Chen Fei watched from below the summit as a strange tremor swept across the mountain, darkened the world, and revealed a small window showing a cultivator kneeling and bowing toward him.

Chen Fei found himself acting as the Mo Xuan Artifact Spirit in a strange cultivation plane, where cultivators offered him spirit crystals for guidance. After Lu Zhongguang paid for help with his cultivation, Chen Fei discovered a way to send power through the barriers, leaving the nurturing game’s rules open to further testing.

• Gray barriers separated the ninth order supreme realm cultivators on the sacred mountain, and Chen Fei learned that he had become the artifact spirit of Lu Zhongguang’s black jade ring.

• The sacred mountain shook when a ninth order peak expert tested its restriction, but the attack stopped and Lu Zhongguang’s image cleared again.
• A month passed outside in only a few breaths, and Lu Zhongguang asked for help with his cultivation before his sect entrance assessment.
• Chen Fei discovered that guidance cost one thousand top-grade spirit crystals per word and used the space Heavenly Dao and Space Grid to send a wisp of essence energy through the barrier to correct Lu Zhongguang’s cultivation.

Chen Fei discovered that the world inside the Ink Jade Ring was real to its inhabitants but functioned as a character-development game, where guidance and help cost spirit crystals. After Lu Zhongguang placed nineteenth in the Tian Yan Sect entrance trial and gave Chen Fei most of his reward, Chen Fei began to understand the gamble behind the trials, and a year passed inside the sect.

• After returning to the Tian Yan Sect, Lu Zhongguang broke through to the aperture refining realm and gave Chen Fei one million Essence Stones.

• Chen Fei had spent seventeen thousand top-grade spirit crystals and obtained nearly eight million.

The chapter followed Lu Zhongguang’s rise to peak Joint Aperture Realm and the attack that forced him to flee the Tian Yan Sect. When Jing Hega pursued him, Chen Fei ordered Lu Zhongguang to kill more Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, and Lu Zhongguang’s Formless Shield struck back.

• Lu Zhongguang became known as the Formless True Lord after cultivating the Formless Divine Shield, which concealed the power Chen Fei lent through the Ink Jade Ring.

• Chen Fei sent ten thousand top-grade spirit crystals through the window and told Lu Zhongguang to kill more Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.

After escaping the collapsing mountain with eighteen million top-grade spirit crystals, Chen Fei was confronted by the Tiger Clan’s ninth order late stage expert tied to Fang Changzhi.

• Lu Zhongguang used Jing Hega’s appearance and spirit treasure to lure three companions, then killed them with the Formless Shield and collected their Essence Stones.

• The formation shattered, the divine mountain began collapsing, and Chen Fei escaped with eighteen million top-grade spirit crystals.
• As Chen Fei headed toward the plane’s lower level, the Tiger Clan’s ninth order late stage expert confronted him over Fang Changzhi’s death.
