Chapter Summaries

Lu Yang led a massive army to surround True Person Miaoyin, who had been abandoned by Suo Huan and was gradually worn down under the pressure of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm's Destiny Stars. As more Warriors filled the battlefield, Miaoyin demanded that Lu Yang show himself, but he remained safely at a distance.

• Suo Huan finished a teleportation array and escaped, leaving True Person Miaoyin behind as the army closed in.
• True Person Miaoyin tried to use the mountain forest to evade the encirclement, but the soldiers devoured everything in their path and trapped her.
• The Destiny Stars suppressed Miaoyin's cultivation, and she killed hundreds of soldiers before realizing she could not replenish her depleted dharma power.
• Lu Yang watched from a protected Tea Pavilion and ordered Anmin to move the eighth formation forward to restore the army's formation.
• Miaoyin fought for half an hour and killed nearly ten thousand soldiers, but over a hundred thousand Warriors filled the gaps and surrounded her.
• Miaoyin shouted for Lu Yang to come out, but he stayed hidden and gave her no answer.

Lu Yang killed True Person Miaoyin after she was captured, but the Supreme Destiny Star appeared in Chen Anmin instead, making him the Day Son of Heaven. A late-stage Great True Person named Suo Huan then appeared and greeted Lu Yang, whose army had encircled Miaoyin in the Ten Thousand Martial Realm.

• True Person Miaoyin exhausted her dharma power, was bound by the soldiers, and was delivered to Lu Yang.
• True Person Miaoyin denied trying to kill Lu Yang and offered to let him Plunder her, but Lu Yang beheaded her instead.
• Lu Yang saw that his Destiny Star had not changed, then watched Chen Anmin's Destiny Star become the sun and grant him the Day Son of Heaven's power.
• Chen Anmin's new authority suppressed Lu Yang and exposed Suo Huan, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator hidden nearby.
• Suo Huan greeted Lu Yang and remarked on the Celestial Embryo Clone's independent Destiny as Lu Yang considered the consequences of the alliance and Chen Anmin's new status.

Lu Yang negotiated with Suo Huan, an independent Extraterrestrial Demon who wanted to learn Chongguang’s Golden Seeking method. They agreed that Suo Huan would craft Lu Yang a custom Spiritual Treasure in exchange for the method, while Chen Anmin remained angry that Lu Yang had let Suo Huan go.

• Suo Huan offered to help Lu Yang escape, but Lu Yang declined and asked to hear another proposal.
• Suo Huan explained that he wanted the details of Chongguang’s Golden Seeking method and offered Lu Yang his Spirit Ruins Blessed Land as payment.
• Lu Yang said he did not need the Blessed Land and asked Suo Huan to give him something as he saw fit.
• Suo Huan offered to personally refine a Spiritual Treasure tailored to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang agreed to provide Chongguang’s Golden Seeking experience after it was finished.
• Suo Huan vanished, and Chen Anmin rebuked Lu Yang for letting an Extraterrestrial Demon go.

Lu Yang killed Chen Anmin and harvested enough Destiny to form the Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body, forcing the Ten Thousand Martial Realm's Fruit Position to abandon its people. As he prepared to return to the Sacred Sect, a Dao Abomination resembling Chongguang appeared, and Lu Yang realized it was True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring.

• Chen Anmin turned against Lu Yang, but the Qi-Eating Insects inside him and the other attackers killed them before they could strike.
• Lu Yang used Qi Harvesting to absorb Chen Anmin's and the other attackers' Destiny, forming the Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body.
• The Fruit Position cut off the Destiny Stars of the people Lu Yang had implanted with insects, while powerful government troops approached.
• Lu Yang contacted the Heavenly Hall and began preparing to return, reasoning that he could continue Qi Harvesting across future lives.
• A figure stopped time and revealed himself as a Dao Abomination resembling Chongguang, whom Lu Yang recognized as True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring.

Lu Yang encountered True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring, who had followed his Celestial Embryo Clone, and learned that entering the Netherworld might preserve his City-Wall Earth Dao Path. After the True Lord vanished, Lu Yang forgot the mystery surrounding their meeting, while Suo Huan received the True Lord elsewhere in the Ten Thousand Martial Realm.

• Lu Yang recognized the Chongguang Dao Abomination as True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring and respectfully greeted him.
• The True Lord said he had followed Lu Yang because of his ordinary fortune and praised his methods and comprehension.
• Lu Yang concealed his anger, then asked the True Lord to show him a path forward for his Dao Path.
• The True Lord suggested that Lu Yang enter his Netherworld for a chance to survive, then vanished and allowed the world to move again.
• Lu Yang wondered whether the figure was truly Sky Soaring, but the Perception Barrier caused him to forget the question.
• Suo Huan burned incense, bowed, and paid respects to True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring in his cave dwelling.

Suo Huan met True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring to ask for protection and support in his attempt to attain Long Flowing Water. The True Lord gave him a powerful treasure, but Suo Huan left suspecting that the factions’ seemingly generous support meant they expected him to fail and die.

• Suo Huan told True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring that other factions had pushed him toward Golden Seeking, and offered to serve the Netherworld in exchange for a proper Fruit Position.
• The True Lord agreed to let Suo Huan attain Long Flowing Water and said he would value him more if he later joined the Netherworld.
• Suo Huan asked for more help, insisting that his chances of Golden Seeking were faint despite the risks of making demands before the True Lord.
• The True Lord granted Suo Huan Heavenly Virtue Bestowing Divine Water, a Fruit Position Treasure that could greatly improve his chances of attaining Long Flowing Water.
• Suo Huan estimated that the treasure raised his odds to thirty percent, then wondered whether every faction supported him because they knew his attempt could not succeed.

Lu Yang returned from the Ten Thousand Martial Realm and completed the initial form of his Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body, whose powers could complement his abilities and strengthen him when injured. Examining Miaoyin’s Storage Pouch revealed Chong Ying imprisoned inside a glowing pellet, and Lu Yang’s renewed Merit Fortune pointed him toward an overseas opportunity tied to the Dragon King.

• Lu Yang told the Sacred Sect True Persons that Miaoyin had died, then returned to Luofeng Mountain and withdrew his consciousness from the Celestial Embryo Clone.
• Lu Yang extracted and absorbed the completed Second Grade True Art’s initial Dharma Body, then examined its four mysteries and considered how Qian Tian could enhance Discern Right and Wrong.
• Lu Yang suspected the Dharma Body and his City-Wall Earth might have been part of a plan by Chongguang or the Zou Yu Descendants, but decided to consider the matter further.
• Lu Yang searched Miaoyin’s Storage Pouch and discovered that its glowing pellet contained Chong Ying, who mistook him for Suo Huan and demanded to know why he had been imprisoned.
• Lu Yang realized that his Merit Fortune had recovered and that his next Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches opportunity was connected to the Dragon King and lay overseas.

Lu Yang discovered that his chance to obtain a new Innate Divine Ability lay in refining the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, which the Four Seas Sect had claimed. He killed Chong Ying and transformed his Dharma Body to disguise himself as a Dragon King, then prepared to infiltrate the mountain as the Dragon Lord sensed that Lu Yang’s actions were tied to it.

• Lu Yang used the Heaven Investigating Instrument to deduce that the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain on the Four Seas Sect’s border was his opportunity to gain the Lost Harmony Magnet ability.
• Lu Yang realized he would have to sneak into the mountain and refine it before the Four Seas Sect’s Dragon Lord could claim it.
• Lu Yang crushed the array pill holding Chong Ying and refined the Dragon King’s bloodline into his Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body, transforming it into a True Dragon.
• Lu Yang calculated that refining the mountain would take forty-nine days and accepted that his true body would face danger during the final seven days.
• The Dragon Lord traced Chong Ying’s death to Lu Yang at the First Saint Sect, chose not to retaliate immediately, and sensed a connection between Lu Yang and the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Lu Yang returned to the Biyang Cultivation World and persuaded Suo Huan to help refine a Spiritual Treasure and join him in seeking a Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. At Suo Huan’s Earthfire Seaheart Furnace, Lu Yang presented several Spiritual Treasures, and Suo Huan said he had a way to refine them together.

• Lu Yang returned to the Biyang Cultivation World and decided to strengthen himself before pursuing the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain.
• Lu Yang summoned Suo Huan and asked him to honor their agreement to refine a Spiritual Treasure.
• Lu Yang invited Suo Huan to accompany him in seeking a Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and Suo Huan agreed.
• Suo Huan led Lu Yang to his Earthfire Seaheart Furnace and explained what was needed to refine a Lifebound Ability Spiritual Treasure.
• Lu Yang revealed several Spiritual Treasures, including the Avici Sword, the Invisible Sword, and the Imperial Golden Seal of Daoshuai True Decree.
• Suo Huan said he had a method to refine the many Spiritual Treasures together in the Earthfire Seaheart Furnace.

Lu Yang and Suo Huan refined Lu Yang’s Spiritual Treasures into a Dharma Sword at the Earthfire Seaheart Furnace. The new sword’s Cave Illumination property exposed a Mist Barrier and left both men fearing that Sky Soaring was nearby.

• Chongming emerged from the Earthfire Seaheart Furnace and recognized Lu Yang as Junior Brother Chongming’s senior brother Yuantu, though he feared Lu Yang had taken Yuantu’s body.
• Lu Yang urged Suo Huan to open the furnace so they could hurry to the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, and Suo Huan had Chongming help tend the furnace.
• Lu Yang placed the Avici Sword and nearly all his other Spiritual Treasures into the furnace while Suo Huan used the Water-Fire Co-refining Art to fuse them.
• Lu Yang offered his Essence Soul, and the fused treasures formed a Mystic Frost Dharma Sword with a trace of True Intent.
• The Dharma Sword’s Cave Illumination property cut through the Mist Barrier, revealing a strange influence and making Lu Yang and Suo Huan fear Sky Soaring was standing beside them.

Lu Yang realized that a True Lord’s influence had driven him and Suo Huan toward the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, but the Dharma Sword’s refinement had awakened them from the Mist Barrier. He concluded that Sky Soaring had used him to rescue Suo Huan and that the two now had to act together, leaving Lu Yang fearing the Four Seas Sect and the danger of being separated from Suo Huan.

• Lu Yang recognized that Sky Soaring had influenced his actions and wondered why a True Lord had targeted him.
• Suo Huan admitted that refining the Dharma Sword should have depended on Heaven’s will unless a True Lord intervened, while Chongming remained unconscious under the lingering influence.
• Lu Yang realized that the Dharma Sword had awakened him and Suo Huan, and concluded that Sky Soaring had used him to draw Suo Huan out of the scheme.
• Lu Yang suspected the Four Seas Sect might discover that he had killed Dragon King Chong Ying and feared the Dragon Clan would kill him if he left Suo Huan.
• Suo Huan said he had sought a path to survival, and Lu Yang accepted that they were now bound to face what came together.

Lu Yang named his newly forged Dharma Sword Calamity Waves and learned that Suo Huan planned to ascend by leveraging three major factions. Suo Huan realized the True Lords meant to use them to provoke and slaughter the Four Seas Sect, leaving Lu Yang looking for a way to change the plan’s course.

• Lu Yang examined the Dharma Sword’s five marvels, named it Calamity Waves, and felt its sword spirit respond with joy.
• Suo Huan explained that he intended to borrow the Pure Land, Dao Court, and Sacred Sect’s power to Ascend to Seek Gold.
• Using the Dharma Sword’s Cave Illumination, Suo Huan traced his opportunity to the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, a fragment of True Lord Cheng Tian Zhengde’s Grotto-Heaven.
• Suo Huan concluded that the True Lords planned to use him to slaughter the Four Seas Sect while avoiding Karma themselves.
• Lu Yang realized his search for the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches would bait the Four Seas Sect, and wondered about the Dragon Lord’s and Sky Soaring’s roles.

Tian Qiu and Chong Ling discussed how to respond to Chong Ying’s death and the inland cultivator seeking the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain. Meanwhile, the Dragon Lord agreed to a deal with Sky Soaring, leaving the Dragon Clan’s next move tied to the promise of another Dragon Lord and the Heavenly River Water.

• Chong Ling urged Tian Qiu to avenge Chong Ying, but he warned that leaving the Dragon Palace during the Tribulation could be fatal.
• Chong Ling proposed luring Chong Ying’s killer to the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, and Tian Qiu agreed to have her gather people to guard it until the mountain matured.

• The Dragon Lord withdrew his Divine Thought and met Sky Soaring, agreeing to let the Heavenly River Water go to the Netherworld if Sky Soaring helped the Dragon Clan produce another Dragon Lord.

Chong Ling surrounded the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain with a vast yao army to avenge Chong Ying, while Buddhist monks arrived to claim Yuantu for the Pure Land. Lu Yang and Suo Huan found the mountain ringed by both forces, and Lu Yang resolved to fight through them and strengthen himself.

• Chong Ling deployed 490,000 Demon Soldiers in the Heavenly Demon Sea-Commanding Formation around the divine mountain.
• Huiku and twenty-three Buddhist monks entered Chong Ling’s formation and demanded that she let them take Yuantu to the Pure Land.
• Chong Ling agreed to let the monks act, while Huiku planned to let the yao bear the brunt of the conflict and seize Yuantu afterward.
• Lu Yang and Suo Huan used the Void Heaven Mirror to discover the yao army and Buddhist Cultivators surrounding the mountain.
• Lu Yang resolved to rely on his own strength, advance his cultivation, and kill his way through the forces blocking him.

Lu Yang and Suo Huan agreed to fight together, with Suo Huan taking on any Great True Persons and Lu Yang facing the rest. Lu Yang unleashed his full strength and destroyed Chong Ling’s 490,000-strong Demon Soldier formation with one sword strike, leaving her terrified as he advanced.

• Lu Yang summoned the sword spirit within Calamity Waves and gathered the spiritual tide into his sword.

• Chong Ling recoiled in disbelief as Lu Yang walked toward her through the blood-soaked battlefield.

Lu Yang killed Chong Ling with his newly manifested Lost Harmony Magnet and Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body, then turned her and seven other demons into spirits in his Ten Thousand Spirit Banner. With Suo Huan holding off the pursuing Great True Persons, Lu Yang began refining the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to break through, despite knowing his enemies were waiting to ambush him.

• Lu Yang broke through Chong Ling’s Moon Tassel Pearl with Lost Harmony Magnet, then overwhelmed her Celestial River Mouth with his Dharma Swords.

• Suo Huan blocked the furious Great True Persons while Lu Yang collected Chong Ling and seven slain demons into the Ten Thousand Spirit Banner.
• Lu Yang realized his enemies were waiting for him to begin his breakthrough, then sat beneath the Ten Thousand Spirit Banner and began refining the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Lu Yang meditated on Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain while the Pure Land, Dao Court, and Sword Pavilion arrived to claim different parts of him and his possessions. Their plan was shattered when Patriarch Tingyou emerged from the Ten Thousand Spirit Banner, killed Hou Lan, and was recognized by Ye Tao as a remnant of the Witch Ghost Sect.

• Huiku and the Buddhist Cultivators summoned the Vast Power Heavenly Dragon Temple, intending to take Lu Yang's Dao Foundation, Dharma body, and cultivation while he meditated.
• Hou Lan and Cheng Tinggui arrived with an Immortal Decree summoning Lu Yang to the Dao Court, as the Dao Court planned to seize his soul and Image.

• Patriarch Tingyou emerged from the banner, and Ye Tao recognized him as a remnant of the Witch Ghost Sect.

• Patriarch Tingyou used an imitation of the Perception Barrier to make Ye Tao deliver his Sword Pellet into his hand, then crushed it.
• A Great True Person from the Pure Land struck from outside and tore Yama Hall apart.

Lu Yang broke through while Vimala Arhat attacked, gaining the power to survive against the Great True Persons. After Suo Huan arrived victorious and urged him to leave, Lu Yang chose to stay and retaliate against Vimala Arhat for wounding his Banner Spirits.

• Vimala Arhat shattered Patriarch Tingyou's Yama Hall and crushed his body, but Tingyou used a clone and an art of concealment to help Lu Yang escape the Buddha Palm.
• Vimala Arhat found Lu Yang inside the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, but Lu Yang broke through and blocked his attack with Calamity Waves.
• Lu Yang revealed the Embrace Mountain, Lost Harmony Magnet, and Kill the Powerful abilities, making the observers realize he was difficult to kill.
• The Great True Persons learned that Suo Huan had defeated Tian Qiu, and Vimala Arhat withdrew rather than continue attacking Lu Yang.
• Suo Huan congratulated Lu Yang and warned him to leave before Suo Huan sought Gold, but Lu Yang took the injured Ten Thousand Spirit Banner and refused to go.
• Lu Yang declared that he would kill Vimala Arhat before leaving.

Suo Huan began seeking Gold with the Ten Thousand Spirits Return to Ruins Dao Scripture, while Lu Yang launched a sudden attack on Vimala Arhat. The chapter ended with Vimala Arhat facing Lu Yang and his Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms Dharma Body alone.

• Suo Huan explained that restoring the Huanxu Realm was his only path to seeking Gold, and Lu Yang wished him success.
• Suo Huan sent Lu Yang to the Foundation Establishment Realm, where Lu Yang found Vimala Arhat, then began seeking Gold with borrowed Gold Nature and Heavenly Virtue Bestowing Divine Water.
