Chapter Summaries

Maha You, an Earth Supreme from the Maha Ancient Clan, blocked Xiao Xiao and her companions and demanded one of their Gold Dragon Tokens. He learned that Xiao Xiao was Yan Di Xiao Yan’s eldest daughter, leaving him facing the consequences of targeting someone from the Endless Fire Territory.

• Wen Qingxuan traveled with her followers, Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and the others through the Ancient Heavenly Palace’s outer area.

• Xiao Xiao rejected Maha You’s demand, while Lin Jing secretly prepared a talisman in case they needed help.
• Maha You recognized Xiao Xiao as a member of the Endless Fire Territory and claimed Yan Di Xiao Yan would not fight the Maha Ancient Clan for her.
• Xiao Xiao revealed that she was Yan Di Xiao Yan’s biological eldest daughter and summoned several Heavenly Flames, making Maha You realize he had chosen the wrong target.

Lu Yuan appeared to protect Xiao Xiao and her companions from Maha You, who had targeted them over the Maha Ancient Clan’s grudge and Xiao Xiao’s Gold Dragon Token. Lu Yuan killed Maha You with the Years Blade, and Xiao Xiao cautiously recognized him as Uncle Lu Yuan.

• Maha You refused to back down from Xiao Xiao and her companions because he believed the Endless Fire Territory had insulted the Maha Ancient Clan, and he coveted Xiao Xiao’s Gold Dragon Token.
• Lin Jing worried that Maha You’s Earth Supreme strength would put Wen Qingxuan and the others in danger, while her signal to the Martial Realm went unanswered.
• Lu Yuan tore through space and confronted Maha You, warning him against bullying the weaker group.
• Maha You dismissed Lu Yuan as someone trying to play the hero, and Lu Yuan drew the Years Blade and killed him with a single slash.
• The gathered Supremes, including Xiao Xiao, froze in fear, and Xiao Xiao tentatively asked whether the youth was Uncle Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan reunited with Xiao Xiao, who explained his legendary status and their unusual family connection to Lin Jing and Wen Qingxuan. As the group discussed Lu Yuan’s past actions, he killed two Earth Supremes pursuing the Bone God Clan Chief, who thanked him and addressed him as Senior.

• Xiao Xiao recognized Lu Yuan and explained that he was her uncle, a First Grade Supreme once acclaimed as Earth Supreme Invincible by the Five Great Spirit Clans.
• Xiao Xiao explained that Lu Yuan’s Space-Time Path let him appear at different times and places, and she introduced him to Lin Jing, Wen Qingxuan, and their companions.
• Lu Yuan told the group that they could call him by name, then admitted that he had killed Saint Devil Palace’s Palace Master Lu Heng and the Divine Pavilion’s Pavilion Master.
• An Earth Supreme of the Blood God Clan retreated while two Earth Supremes pursued him, and Lu Yuan drew the Years Blade to intervene.
• Lu Yuan killed the two pursuers with two slashes, and the Bone God Clan’s Clan Chief thanked him and praised his strength.

Lu Yuan learned that the Blood God Clan had grown powerful enough to threaten the Luo God Clan and the other Divine Clans, while the Bone God Clan's chief revealed that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor was tacitly allowing the conflict. The chief warned Lu Yuan privately that the Blood God Clan might be acting with the Battle Emperor's approval, leaving the smaller clans afraid to intervene.

• Lu Yuan asked why the Bone God Clan's chief was being hunted, and the chief explained that the Blood God Clan had gained several Earth Supremes and might be seeking to expand its power.
• The chief said the Blood God Clan had won two Earth Supremes through Earth Splitting Pills and its war against the Luo God Clan, which had lost seventeen cities and suffered heavy casualties.
• The chief told Lu Yuan that the Luo God Clan relied mainly on Luo Tianshen, while the Bone God Clan and Force God Clan each had only three Earth Supremes, leaving them collectively weaker than the Blood God Clan.
• The chief secretly told Lu Yuan that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor had tacitly approved the Blood God Clan's campaign and that the clan sought to annex the Luo God Clan without the Battle Emperor joining the fighting.
• The chief explained that the Blood God Clan's attack on him made him fear that the Battle Emperor might be using the clans to weaken one another, so he would not risk openly opposing the Blood God Clan.

Lu Yuan considered the Bone God Clan patriarch’s warning that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor favored the Blood God Clan and weighed whether he could eventually replace the ruler of the Western Heaven God Realm. After reviewing the Blood God Clan’s power and the Luo God Clan’s plight, he concluded he could travel to the Western Heaven God Realm and destroy the Blood God Clan.

• The Bone God Clan patriarch secretly warned Lu Yuan that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor was backing one side, and Lu Yuan accepted the warning as a favor.
• Lu Yuan considered whether to replace the ruler of the Western Heaven God Realm, noting that he had the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance and that the Blood God Clan still had at least six Earth Supremes.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor’s hostility toward the Luo God Clan explained why the Blood God Clan had been able to target them without interference.
• Lu Yuan recalled Xiao Yan’s conflicts with the Maha Ancient Clan and the hidden significance of his efforts to protect Qing Yan Jing.
• Lu Yuan concluded that although he could not challenge the Floating Tu Ancient Clan, he could go to the Western Heaven God Realm and wipe out the Blood God Clan.

Lu Yuan weighed his duty to protect Xiao Xiao against his plans to return to the Luo God Clan, concluding that travel delays and the clan’s ability to hold out gave him time to put Xiao Xiao first. Xiao Xiao revealed that she had come to learn Lu Yuan’s techniques and hoped to study at the Ancient Heavenly Palace.

• Lu Yuan reasoned that no direct Teleportation Array connected the Sky Luo Continent to the Northern Heavens Continent and that the Luo God Clan’s century-long war was not yet at a desperate stage.
• Lu Yuan decided Xiao Xiao’s safety took priority over rushing to the Luo God Clan, while noting that she and Lin Jing had powerful protections from their families.
• Xiao Xiao told Lu Yuan that her father had placed a protective flame inside her and urged him to leave without worrying about her.
• Lu Yuan asked Xiao Xiao why she had come, and she said she wanted him to teach her the Years Blade and Red Dust Threads.
• Xiao Xiao explained that she also hoped to join the Ancient Heavenly Palace and learn from the awakening Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

Lu Yuan explained why Xiao Xiao could not learn the Years Blade and Red Dust Threads, then discovered that his future self had already given her a matching bottle as part of a key. After arranging for Xiao Xiao to join the Heavenly Palace, Lu Yuan left for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with a premonition that the journey would bring unforeseen twists.

• Lu Yuan revealed his third eye and explained the powers and limitations of the Years Blade and Red Dust Threads, then gave Xiao Xiao a sealed bottle to test her ability to comprehend them.
• Xiao Xiao showed Lu Yuan an identical bottle from her Storage Ring and said his future self had given it to her as the second part of a key, promising that the remaining parts would come later.
• Lu Yuan recognized the bottle as evidence that his future self could correct the Timeline and destiny line, and he suspected a major future turn around his trip to the Western Heaven God Realm.
• Lu Yuan recommended Xiao Xiao for the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Emperor agreed to let her join subject to her performance.
• Xiao Xiao bid farewell to Lu Yuan and continued deeper into the Ancient Heavenly Palace, while Lu Yuan traveled from the Eastern Realm toward the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Lu Yuan returned to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and learned from Li Xuantong about the pressure on the Luo God Clan and the many admirers pursuing Luo Li. He kept his relationship with Luo Li secret to protect her, but his recent breakthroughs had made him confident he could soon resolve the clan’s crisis himself.

• The Blood God Clan’s growing strength put the Luo God Clan under severe pressure, while Luo Tianshen kept Luo Li uninformed so she could cultivate in peace.
• Li Xuantong worried about the Luo God Clan’s situation and resented Lu Yuan’s disappearance, while Luo Li assigned him to keep Mu Chen and other admirers at a distance.
• Lu Yuan returned to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, found Li Xuantong, and asked about the Luo God Clan’s circumstances.
• Li Xuantong explained that Luo Li had left him to handle Mu Chen’s attention, and criticized Lu Yuan for keeping his identity and relationship with Luo Li secret.
• Lu Yuan recalled his rapid breakthroughs and his mastery of One Qi Transforming into Three Purities, and concluded that he could now suppress the Western Heaven Battle Emperor and help settle the Luo God Clan’s affairs.

Lu Yuan reunited with Luo Li and explained that the Luo God Clan faced serious problems, which her grandfather and others had concealed so she could focus on cultivating. Luo Li realized Luo Tianshen had kept her uninformed, and the chapter left her facing the truth about the burden on her clan.

• Li Xuantong considered Lu Yuan's age and strength, concluding that he himself had no chance with Luo Li and that the Luo God Clan's revival depended heavily on her.
• Li Xuantong helped Lu Yuan find Luo Li at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, where she relied on her clan's resources and the Heaven Evolution Pavilion rather than regularly earning academic points.
• Lu Yuan returned to Luo Li and reassured her before recounting his meeting at the Ancient Heavenly Palace with the Bone God Clan's patriarch and two Earth Supremes from the Blood God Clan.
• Lu Yuan told Luo Li that the Luo God Clan's situation was dire and that members of the clan had kept it from her to protect her cultivation.
• Luo Li guessed that her grandfather, Luo Tianshen, had arranged to keep her uninformed and had assigned Li Xuantong as her trusted guard.

Lu Yuan, Luo Li, and Li Xuantong analyzed how the Blood God Clan’s war with the Luo God Clan was tied to the Western Heaven Battle Emperor’s concubine and Luo Li. Lu Yuan reassured Luo Li that he was prepared to face the conflict, and the two left through the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Teleportation Array, leaving Li Xuantong to tell Mu Chen to wait for their return.

• Li Xuantong reported that the Blood God Clan had defeated the Luo God Clan in a war that began forty-one days after Luo Li enrolled.
• Lu Yuan explained that Luo Tianshen’s strength and the Luo God Clan’s inherited treasures had deterred the Blood God Clan, while the Western Heaven Battle Emperor’s interest in Luo Li had fueled the clans’ conflict.
• Lu Yuan traced the Blood God Clan’s pressure on the Luo God Clan to the Battle Emperor’s concubine, who hoped to force Luo Li into marriage and win his favor.
• Luo Li asked Lu Yuan whether he was confident about confronting the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, and Lu Yuan assured her that he knew what he was doing.
• Lu Yuan took Luo Li’s hand and entered the Teleportation Array with her, while Li Xuantong told the arriving Mu Chen to stop chasing them and wait for their return.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li gave little thought to Mu Chen and his companions, while Luo Li regarded Mu Chen only as an ordinary friend and remained committed to Lu Yuan. After traveling through several Teleportation Arrays, they reached the Western Heaven God Realm and headed toward the Luo God Clan’s base.

• Lu Yuan dismissed investing in Mu Chen, deciding Mu Chen had no connection to him and might pursue Luo Li.
• Luo Li considered Lu Yuan the person who could fight beside her and distinguished his affection from mere physical desire.
• Luo Li treated Mu Chen as an ordinary friend whose pursuit of her was out of the question while she remained with Lu Yuan.
• Lu Yuan and Luo Li traveled through three Teleportation Arrays to reach the Western Heaven God Realm.
• Luo Li led Lu Yuan flying from the final Teleportation Array toward the Luo God Clan’s base.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li reached the Luo God Clan’s headquarters, where a patrol squad tried to bar Lu Yuan from entering. The Patrol Team Captain eventually backed down but revealed that he had mistaken Lu Yuan for an outsider courting Luo Li to gain access to clan secrets, leaving both of them stunned.

• Lu Yuan and Luo Li arrived at the Luo God Clan’s headquarters after traveling the final stretch without teleportation.
• The Patrol Team Captain stopped them and invoked the clan leader’s wartime rules to refuse Lu Yuan entry.
• Luo Li challenged the captain and declared that Lu Yuan was her boyfriend, threatening to draw her sword if he continued to block them.
• The Patrol Team Captain backed down and warned Luo Li about people using her to obtain classified information, mentioning Yan Di as a possible counterweight to the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
• Luo Li and Lu Yuan realized the captain supported a political marriage but had mistaken Lu Yuan for someone from the Endless Fire Territory.

Luo Li brought Lu Yuan into the Luo God Clan after dismissing the Patrol Team Captain’s misunderstanding. As Lu Yuan flew beside her, he learned more about the clan’s kinship-based defenses and powerful ancestral array, which remained a major deterrent to the Blood God Clan.

• Luo Li gave the Patrol Team Captain a courteous nod and led Lu Yuan into the Luo God Clan without explaining the misunderstanding.
• Lu Yuan considered how the Luo God Clan placed trusted clan members in important positions and how outsiders such as Li Xuantong might be recruited into its ranks.
• Lu Yuan avoided using Spatial Power because the clan’s grand array could counter unauthorized use and seal or destroy intruders.
• Lu Yuan reflected on the Three Talents Array, its immense power, and how it allowed the diminished Luo God Clan to withstand far stronger enemies.
• Lu Yuan continued flying alongside Luo Li to show respect for her and the clan on his first visit.

Luo Li brought Lu Yuan to meet her grandfather, Luo Tianshen, and introduced him as her Dao Companion. Luo Tianshen warned that the Luo God Clan’s elders might oppose the relationship and urged Lu Yuan to prove himself, then left to speak with them.

• Luo Li returned to the Luo God Clan with Lu Yuan, whose presence went unnoticed by Luo Tianshen until they reached his residence.
• Luo Tianshen was startled that he had not sensed Lu Yuan and cautiously asked who he was.
• Luo Li introduced Lu Yuan as her Dao Companion and explained that she had returned to help the clan face its crisis with the Blood God Clan.
• Lu Yuan and Luo Tianshen exchanged formal introductions, while Lu Yuan avoided presuming that Luo Tianshen accepted their relationship.
• Luo Tianshen warned that the clan elders would judge the relationship and claimed Lu Yuan would face rivals including a Heavenly Sovereign named Lu Yuan.
• Luo Tianshen left to negotiate with the elders and told Lu Yuan to prove his talent and strength so Luo Li would not be put in a difficult position.

After Luo Tianshen mistook Lu Yuan for an impostor and left, Lu Yuan and Luo Li walked through the Luo God Clan grounds as he began assessing the clan’s condition under the Blood God Clan’s pressure. Luo Tianshen remained unaware that Lu Yuan might truly be the powerful figure from the Endless Fire Territory, and the misunderstanding persisted.

• Luo Tianshen departed without recognizing Lu Yuan, leaving Lu Yuan frustrated by the clan’s reaction.
• Luo Li understood why Lu Yuan had been tactful, and Lu Yuan reassured her before asking her to show him around the clan.
• Luo Li took Lu Yuan by the arm and began explaining the Luo God Clan’s layout and condition as he evaluated its people and defenses.
• Luo Tianshen reached the main hall and reasoned that Lu Yuan could not be the famed Lu Yuan of the Endless Fire Territory, since such a powerful visitor would not need to hide his identity.

Luo Tianshen convened the Luo God Clan’s Supreme elders to discuss the Blood God Clan and Luo Li’s return with a mysterious Supreme. The elders argued over who had exposed Luo Li to danger, but the accusation remained unresolved as the meeting turned to the clan’s fragile reliance on her.

• A white-haired elder condemned the Blood God Clan for serving the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, while another elder urged him to stop and hear Luo Tianshen’s plans concerning Luo Li.
• The elders recognized that Luo Li had returned with a mysterious person whose aura marked them as a Supreme, though they did not know the person’s identity.
• A Ninth Grade Supreme elder accused the opposing faction of revealing information to Luo Li and endangering the clan’s only promising heir.
• The fifth elder on the right denied the charge indignantly, leaving the elders unsure who had informed Luo Li.
• The elders considered the risks surrounding Luo Li, the Blood God Clan’s power, and the protection offered by the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Luo Tianshen weighed Luo Li’s lack of strength and influence against the political risks of her choosing a Dao Companion, then told the clan elders that she had brought back Lu Yuan, a cultivator around the Supreme Realm. The elders questioned whether Lu Yuan might actually be the Flame Emperor’s junior brother in disguise.

• Luo Tianshen considered how Luo Li’s cultivation and standing affected her ability to choose a Dao Companion and negotiate with the Luo God Clan’s elders.
• Luo Tianshen’s choices for protecting the clan were criticized, while the importance of strength and talent in earning authority was emphasized.
• Luo Tianshen told the gathered elders that Luo Li had returned with a Dao Companion named Lu Yuan, whose cultivation was around the Supreme Realm.
• The elders fell silent as they considered the Luo God Clan’s debt to the Endless Fire Territory and the consequences of Luo Li choosing a partner.
• The third elder on the right asked whether Lu Yuan might be the Flame Emperor’s junior brother concealing his identity.

Luo Tianshen argued that Luo Li’s companion, Lu Yuan, had not acted like Yan Di’s junior brother, but he rejected the elders’ proposals to punish or control Luo Li. The elders weighed the risks of angering the Endless Fire Territory against the Luo God Clan’s precarious position and debated whether to force a political marriage or accept the relationship and conceal it.

• Luo Tianshen questioned how the real Yan Di’s junior brother could have reached Luo Li without being noticed or formally welcomed, and the Second Elder conceded that the circumstances seemed suspicious.
• A Sixth Grade Supreme asked whether Luo Li might have misunderstood something, but Luo Tianshen argued that bringing Lu Yuan openly before him showed she had not lied and warned the elders against driving her to extremes.
• The First Elder pointed out that losing the Endless Fire Territory’s support or provoking Yan Di could both endanger the Luo God Clan, leaving the elders unable to find a safe solution.
• The Second Elder proposed either killing Lu Yuan and arranging Luo Li’s political marriage, or accepting the relationship, hiding it from the Endless Fire Territory, and gambling that Luo Tianshen or Luo Li would reach the Heavenly Sovereign realm in time.

Lu Yuan reflected on how the Luo God Clan had mistaken him for an impostor and valued his connection to Xiao Yan more than his own identity. Luo Li urged him to enter the hall and settle the misunderstanding, allowing him to beat the doubtful elders as long as he did not kill them.

• Lu Yuan listened outside the hall as Luo Tianshen and the Luo God Clan elders debated his identity and marriage to Luo Li.
• Lu Yuan traced how the title of Xiao Yan's Junior Brother had spread and how the Patrol Team's actions had led to a cycle of mistaken assumptions.
• Lu Yuan judged the Luo God Clan's leadership harshly and compared its problems with the governance of the Floating Tu and Maha Ancient Clans.
• Luo Li suggested they go into the hall and resolve the misunderstanding, telling Lu Yuan he could beat the elders if he spared their lives.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li entered the Luo God Clan's meeting hall after Luo Tianshen invited them, and Lu Yuan answered the elders' hostility by revealing the Years Blade and striking a clan elder. He identified himself as Yan Di Xiao Yan's Junior Brother, leaving the Luo God Clan elders stunned by Luo Tianshen's mistaken assurances.

• Lu Yuan warned Luo Li that confronting the elders could bring consequences, and Luo Li affirmed that she had decided to stand with him.
• Luo Tianshen invited Luo Li and her Dao Companion into the meeting hall, where the elders had gathered.
• A Ninth Grade Supreme elder challenged Luo Li, attempting to pressure her and Lu Yuan into ending their relationship.
• Lu Yuan drew the Years Blade, froze time and space, and struck the elder with its flat, leaving him unconscious beneath broken furniture with his teeth shattered.
• Lu Yuan defended Luo Li and declared that he had once killed foreign Earth Supremes in the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
• The elders recognized the Years Blade and realized Lu Yuan was Yan Di Xiao Yan's Junior Brother, contradicting Luo Tianshen's earlier claim.
