Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei used his clones and newly acquired Void Secret Treasures to kill Wan Hantao, then weighed how to find cultivation resources in the Star Realm. After reaching Spring Thunder Mountain and finding it stripped of Divine Source and Divine Medicine, Chen Fei realized an Immortal Realm powerhouse had locked onto him through Heavenly Secrets Deduction.

• Wan Hantao tried to flee from Chen Fei and his two clones, but Instantaneous Omen let Chen Fei keep intercepting him.
• Wan Hantao ignited all his Void Secret Treasures and attacked, but Chen Fei, the Night Demon War Soldier, and the Past Self unraveled his sword technique and killed him in one move.
• Chen Fei collected Wan Hantao's Origin Demon Origin Spiritual Essence, erased traces of the battle, and considered whether to search alone for resources or join a major sect.
• Chen Fei flew to Spring Thunder Mountain, but found its terrain changed by battles above the Immortal Realm and no trace of Divine Source or Divine Medicine.
• The Heavenly Secrets Concealment on Chen Fei's Void Shadow shattered, revealing that an Immortal Realm powerhouse was using Heavenly Secrets Deduction to locate him.

Chen Fei used Void Shadow and Panel Backup to alternate concealment while fleeing an Immortal Realm pursuer who had killed Wan Hantao and sought to capture him. As Qu Hongshan continued the chase, Chen Fei headed toward a nearby Forbidden Ground.

• Chen Fei realized an Immortal Realm expert had pierced Void Shadow’s concealment and ignited the treasure to block the heavenly secret lock.
• Qu Hongshan discovered that Wan Hantao had died and began tracking Lin Cheng, whom he suspected had killed him.
• Chen Fei and the Night Demon War Soldier alternated igniting their Void Shadows, letting Chen Fei travel between brief intervals when Qu Hongshan could locate him.
• Qu Hongshan repeatedly reacquired Chen Fei’s location but lost the lock whenever Chen Fei restored and reignited Void Shadow.
• Chen Fei looked toward a Forbidden Ground less than three hundred million miles away, hoping to use it to escape Qu Hongshan.

Chen Fei used the Forbidden Ground and his ability to sense Qu Hongshan’s distance to evade the Immortal Realm cultivator’s pursuit. When a battle among Sovereign Realm powerhouses turned the Star Realm against outsiders, Chen Fei realized he needed to leave before its World Hostility peaked, though he stayed long enough to consider what else he could do.

• Chen Fei flew toward the Forbidden Ground in shifting routes, hoping to use its Supremes as a threat without making his plan obvious to Qu Hongshan.
• Qu Hongshan suspected Chen Fei was heading for the Forbidden Ground and flew ahead to intercept him, but Chen Fei changed direction and widened the distance between them.
• For three hours, Qu Hongshan failed to close within two hundred million li of Chen Fei, and he could not determine how Chen Fei’s treasure kept restoring its power.
• A battle between Sovereign Realm powerhouses opened a huge black hole in the sky, and Brother Chu ordered the Tianxuan Domain forces to leave the Star Realm.
• The Star Realm’s Heavenly Dao began rejecting Chen Fei, who reduced the growing World Hostility by storing his Xuan Yu Realm powers and operating only the Grand Void Cloud Mirror Heavenly Tome.
• Chen Fei realized he had to leave before the World Hostility peaked, but he stayed in the Star Realm for the moment while Qu Hongshan stopped pursuing him.

Chen Fei left the Star Realm after realizing the remaining Tianxuan Domain cultivators would be exposed to its hostile experts, then returned to the Illusionary Gate and explained his rapid advancement by claiming he had entered the Emperor's Burial Pit. Back at the sect, he learned which cultivation inheritances he could access and went to the Hidden Skill Pavilion to borrow them.

• Chen Fei abandoned his plan to seek resources in the Star Realm, escaped through a spatial rift, and spotted the Immortal Realm expert who had pursued him, but the expert did not attack near the Illusionary Gate camp.

• Chen Fei visited the Void Secret Treasure Hall and then went to the Hidden Skill Pavilion, where the steward recognized him as the familiar disciple who had advanced rapidly.

Chen Fei returned to the Hidden Skill Pavilion to collect cultivation inheritances after advancing to the Late Void True God Realm, then merged and simplified his vital energy and physique arts. He headed to Tianxing Peak to seek the qualifications to challenge the True Disciples, where Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu met him.

• Chen Fei borrowed the complete Shore Mirror Flower Art and additional cultivation inheritances, while the Hidden Skill Pavilion steward learned that Chen Fei had advanced by cultivating in the Emperor's Burial Pit.
• Chen Fei studied his inheritances in the Void Return Realm, declined Tian Wentao's invitation to True Inheritance Peak, and completed the Shore Mirror Flower Art.

• Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu approached Chen Fei at Tianxing Peak, and Shen Tingyu suspected that Chen Fei had come to take the trial.

Chen Fei attempted Tianxing Peak’s trials to earn the qualification to challenge a True Disciple and defeated the first stage’s Peak Thirteenth Order Tree Demon with his illusion arts. As disciples gathered to watch, he proceeded toward the next stage.

• Nie Yeyu warned Chen Fei that the first two stages were guarded by resentful foreign captives, while Shen Tingyu told him that Xing Feiyang guarded the third stage.

• Nie Yeyu, Tian Wentao, and Shen Tingyu praised Chen Fei’s strength as more disciples arrived at Tianxing Peak to watch his trials.

Chen Fei used the Shore Void Art to defeat Tianxing Peak’s second gatekeeper, a Mountain Demon whose body-refinement made it resistant to illusion techniques. After Chen Fei passed the second trial as quickly as the first, the watching disciples reconsidered his strength.

Chen Fei defeated Xing Feiyang in Tianxing Peak’s third trial by trapping him in the Shore Mirror Flower Art’s reincarnation illusion, earning the status of a quasi-True Disciple. Three days later, news spread that Chen Fei had applied to challenge Ji Qiubai, the ninetieth-ranked True Disciple.
