Chapter Summaries

Chen Fei used his clones, Instantaneous Omen, and nine ignited Void Secret Treasures to kill Wan Hantao, then weighed whether to search the Star Realm for resources or join a major sect. At Spring Thunder Mountain, he found no trace of Divine Source or Divine Medicine, and an Immortal Realm powerhouse’s Heavenly Secrets Deduction locked onto him.

• Chen Fei arrived at Spring Thunder Mountain, found its terrain changed and its Divine Source and Divine Medicine gone, then sensed an Immortal Realm powerhouse lock onto him through Heavenly Secrets Deduction.

Chen Fei used Void Shadow and Panel Backup to alternate concealment and evade Qu Hongshan, the Immortal Realm Origin Demon pursuing him. As the chase continued, Chen Fei headed toward a Forbidden Ground that lay three hundred million miles away.

• Chen Fei looked toward a Forbidden Ground roughly three hundred million miles away, knowing it housed a Supreme Realm expert.

Chen Fei used the Forbidden Ground and his ability to sense Qu Hongshan’s distance to evade the Immortal Realm cultivator’s pursuit. When Sovereign Realm conflict shook the Star Realm and its Heavenly Dao turned against outsiders, Chen Fei recognized the growing World Hostility and decided to leave before it peaked, though he first considered what else he could do.

• Chen Fei flew toward the Forbidden Ground in shifting patterns, using his Void Secret Treasure to sense Qu Hongshan and avoid making his destination obvious.
• Qu Hongshan guessed Chen Fei might be heading for the Forbidden Ground and flew ahead to intercept him, but Chen Fei changed course and widened their distance.
• For hours, Qu Hongshan failed to get within two hundred million li of Chen Fei and could not exhaust the power sustaining Chen Fei’s Void Secret Treasure.
• A Sovereign Realm battle opened a vast black hole in the heavens, and a voice accused the Tianxuan Domain of going too far before ordering everyone to leave the Star Realm.
• The Star Realm’s Heavenly Dao began rejecting Chen Fei, who reduced the hostility by storing his Xuan Yu Realm powers in the Space Grid and using only the Grand Void Cloud Mirror Heavenly Tome.
• Chen Fei realized he needed to leave before World Hostility peaked, but he chose not to depart immediately and considered what he could do first.

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.

He headed to Tianxing Peak to seek the qualifications to challenge the True Disciples, where Tian Wentao and Shen Tingyu met him.
