Chapter Summaries

Jun Changxiao expanded Fine Rain Hall’s intelligence network toward Northeast Luzhou to monitor Lu Qianqian, then improved martial arts manuals and sought better cultivation methods for Eternal Sect. He tested the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade’s new Fire Attribute, only to learn that his strikes had caused an expensive mess on the Training Ground.

• Jun Changxiao asked Li Luoqiu to extend Fine Rain Hall’s intelligence network to Northeast Luzhou, and she began relocating personnel and opening Feed Stores along the route.
• After half a month of improving martial arts manuals with Shangguan Xinyao’s research, Jun Changxiao asked her to focus on developing Cultivation Methods and claimed he was doing it to nurture her.

• Jun Changxiao used the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade’s Fire Attribute and Martial Saint Soul to unleash powerful blade techniques that shattered the Training Ground’s stone slabs.
• Li Qingyang told Jun Changxiao that repairing the damaged stone slabs would cost two or three hundred thousand taels, and Jun Changxiao reacted in shock.

Jun Changxiao used a Detoxification Pill to survive Mo Shang’s poison and forced the captured demonic cultivator to reveal his history with a Surrender Token. Mo Shang explained that he had been trying to break a seal concealing the ancient Demonic Sect’s treasures, and Jun Changxiao learned the Iron Fragment could hide its bearer from Spiritual Sense.

Jun Changxiao entered Demon Ridge Valley’s hidden space and began its inheritance trials, with Little Dragon Dragon passing the first trial and Jun defeating the second trial’s phantoms. The chapter ended after Jun destroyed all one hundred phantom disciples, leaving the final trial ahead.

• Jun Changxiao, Little Dragon Dragon, and Mo Shang entered an eerie independent space and found the altar and coffin of Demon Ridge Valley’s last Valley Master.

• Jun Changxiao told Mo Shang to wash up and sleep, dismissing his chance to inherit Demon Ridge Valley’s legacy.

Jun Changxiao discovered Demon Ridge Valley’s succession tablets and made Mo Shang its thirty-first Valley Master before recruiting him into Eternal Sect. As they left the ruins, a Demon Ridge Black Eagle awakened, and Jun Changxiao ordered Little Dragon Dragon to capture it.

• Little Dragon Dragon opened the coffin and found the spirit tablets of Demon Ridge Valley’s thirty Valley Masters, along with the Valley Master token.

• Yao Mengying's eyes turned red as she voiced a vow of vengeance, then returned to normal and denied saying anything when Liu Wanshi questioned her.

Jun Changxiao returned to the Eternal Sect with Mo Shang and the Demon Ridge Black Eagle, then learned that Yao Mengying’s Innate Demonic Body could attract dangerous attention. He discovered that Mo Shang was compelled to kneel whenever he called Yao Mengying “Senior Sister,” and arranged for him to teach her about the Demonic Dao as her “Little Boss.”

• Jun Changxiao arrived at Iron Bone Mountain on the Demon Ridge Black Eagle, astonishing the disciples, and introduced Mo Shang as a newly recruited disciple.
• Li Luoqiu reported that at least ten sects had wiped out the Demonic Sect Remnants on Devil Mountain, and Jun Changxiao ordered the sect to keep Yao Mengying’s Innate Demonic Body secret.
• Jiang Xie said Yao Mengying had reached Peak Martial Apprentice, and Jun Changxiao claimed the Eternal Sect could provide her with demonic cultivation methods.
• Mo Shang was overcome by an invisible force and repeatedly knelt whenever he called Yao Mengying “Senior Sister.”
• Jun Changxiao told Mo Shang to call Yao Mengying “Little Boss” and assigned him to teach her about the Demonic Dao.

Jun Changxiao exchanged for the Blood Cloud Heaven Remnant Scripture and gave it to Yao Mengying and Mo Shang, whose cultivation advanced at very different speeds. As Yao Mengying’s rapid growth raised concerns about keeping her safe, Ye Xingchen and Zhou Hong began breakthroughs at the Eternal Sect.

• Jun Changxiao exchanged 599 Demon Ridge Valley manuals for the Blood Cloud Heaven Remnant Scripture and gave copies to Yao Mengying and Mo Shang.

• Yao Mengying, He Wudi, Jing Wugou, Chu Xiunan, Huo Ling, and the other disciples advanced their cultivation over the next half month.
• Jun Changxiao exchanged 2,991 Contribution Points for Experience Points, which shortened his cultivation time but did not immediately raise his realm.
• Jun Changxiao later broke through to Fourth-grade and measured his strength at 7,000,000 jin before punching Happy Football into Li Fei.
• Li Luoqiu told Jun Changxiao that the sect had received intelligence about approaching trouble.

Five Fourth-rate sects from West Transport Province marched on Eternal Sect, turning Jun Changxiao’s new sect name into a pretext to challenge Southwest Yang Province. Jun Changxiao accepted an Elite Mission to defeat them and waited at the Life and Death Arena as their force arrived.

• Jiang Xie warned Jun Changxiao that the five sects might be using Eternal Sect to challenge Southwest Yang Province, and Jun vowed they would regret provoking his sect.
• Yi Tianxing and Situ Haoyun learned that the delegation included two Martial Emperors, ten Martial Kings, and Lingteng Royal City’s Young City Lord, prompting Princess Honglian to go to Eternal Sect.
• Jun Changxiao received an Elite Mission to defeat the five sects and assured Ma Yunteng that Eternal Sect would not back down.
• Martial cultivators from across Southwest Yang Province gathered outside Iron Bone Mountain as Jun waited at the Life and Death Arena with Princess Honglian and his disciples.
• The West Transport Province delegation arrived in a show of force, and Jun ordered his disciples to unleash their full momentum in welcome.

Jun Changxiao and the Eternal Sect faced the five sects of West Transport Province in a clash of auras, holding their ground against two Martial Emperors. Ling Yufang then provoked Princess Honglian and Jun Changxiao over Southwest Yang Province’s past defeat and challenged the Eternal Sect to a martial exchange.

• Jun Changxiao ordered the Eternal Sect disciples to release their Cultivation, and their combined aura clashed with the two West Transport Province Martial Emperors.
• Jun Changxiao reinforced the disciples with his Dual Sword and Martial King aura, while Ye Xingchen, Zhou Hong, Jiang Xie, and the Ning Brothers joined the clash.
• Princess Honglian called for both sides to stop and propose a friendly martial exchange, and the two Martial Emperors withdrew their auras.
• Ling Yufang reminded Princess Honglian of Southwest Yang Province’s ten-match defeat ten years earlier and deliberately called the Eternal Sect the Zuo Gu Sect.
• Jun Changxiao stayed composed as Ling Yufang claimed he had come to seek instruction in martial arts from the Eternal Sect.

Jun Changxiao hosted a challenge match against Ling Yufang’s West Transport Province fighters, whose disciples and Martial King Elder Sun were defeated by Eternal Sect members. Ning Duzui knocked Elder Sun unconscious after he mocked Ning’s past as a thief.

• Jun Changxiao rejected Ling Yufang’s fighters as inadequate, then sent Yang Yuhua to face Wu Kui, whom Yang defeated in two punches.
• Li Shangtian, Sima Zhongda, Cui Bujian, Huo Ling, and other Eternal Sect disciples defeated the West Transport Province fighters sent against them.
• Jun Changxiao urged Ling Yufang to send out Martial Kings, and Ling ordered Elder Sun of the Moving Clouds Sect to fight.
• Elder Sun mocked Ning Duzui’s reputation as a thief, but Ning Duzui overwhelmed him with a barrage of punches and knocked him unconscious.

Ning Duzui defeated two Moving Clouds Sect elders, prompting Ge Tuhong to challenge Jun Changxiao. Jun Changxiao accepted the Martial Emperor’s challenge and withstood his opening punch, leaving both fighters surprised by his resilience.

• Ning Duzui defeated Elder Hu with Seven Profound Rainbow Break and knocked him off the arena.
• Jun Changxiao taunted Ling Yufang, and Ge Tuhong volunteered to challenge him instead of Ning Duzui.
• Jun Changxiao accepted Ge Tuhong’s challenge to test the gap between his strength and a Martial Emperor’s.
• Ge Tuhong struck Jun Changxiao with a powerful punch through the air, but Jun Changxiao blocked it and remained standing.

Jun Changxiao fought Ge Tuhong, a Martial Emperor, and unleashed his strongest techniques but was overwhelmed by Ge Tuhong’s command of space. He then gathered thousands of swords into a colossal blade with Myriad Swords Return to One and brought it down on Ge Tuhong.

• Ge Tuhong battered Jun Changxiao with condensed Spiritual Energy fists, but Jun’s Spirit Armor left him unharmed.
• Ge Tuhong’s Long Eyebrow Finger clashed with Jun Changxiao’s Crimson Firmament Blazing Slash, and Jun followed with attacks from the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and its Five Elements Weapon Spirit.
• Ge Tuhong’s Spiritual Energy sealed and weakened Jun’s saber strikes, shattering them and sending Jun staggering backward.
• Jun Changxiao released his Sword Momentum, drawing thousands of nearby swords into the sky as Ge Tuhong watched in alarm.
• Jun Changxiao used Myriad Swords Return to One to combine the swords into a colossal blade and slash down at Ge Tuhong.

Jun Changxiao defeated Ge Tuhong with Myriad Swords Return to One, then challenged Ling Yufang to continue the contest through the Eternal Sect disciples. Ling Yufang, enraged by their taunts, agreed to fight one of them.

• Jun Changxiao’s Myriad Swords Return to One shattered Ge Tuhong’s barriers and left him exhausted, so Ge conceded defeat and thanked Jun for sparing him.
• Jun Changxiao invited Liu Shangqing to fight next, but Liu declined because he feared the consequences of facing Jun’s sword technique.
• Jun Changxiao told Ling Yufang to continue challenging Eternal Sect disciples, and Su Xiaomo volunteered to fight him.
• Su Xiaomo, Li Fei, and Jun Changxiao taunted Ling Yufang about relying on his father, provoking him into accepting a match with an Eternal Sect disciple.

Jun Changxiao’s Eternal Sect defeated the five fourth-rate sects from West Transport Province, including Ling Yufang, in a public series of arena challenges. The defeated visitors left in disgrace as the crowd celebrated the sect’s strength.

• Jun Changxiao sent Su Xiaomo to fight Ling Yufang after Ling insisted on proving himself without relying on his father.
• Ling Yufang drew his father’s Three-Foot Wandering Dragon Sword and attacked, but Su Xiaomo evaded his Sword Qi and overwhelmed him with kicks.
• Su Xiaomo disarmed Ling Yufang, then beat him unconscious despite Princess Honglian’s warning not to go too far.
• Liu Shangqing and the other visitors conceded defeat, collected Ling Yufang, and departed the Eternal Sect.
• Southwest Yang Province martial cultivators hailed Jun Changxiao and the Eternal Sect, while Jun Changxiao received a mission-completed notification.

After the Eternal Sect humiliated West Transport Province’s five great sects, Jun Changxiao received powerful rewards and used three Talismans of Experience to rise to Seventh-grade Dual Sword and Martial King. He examined the newly unlocked aptitude fluids and Martial King Pill Recipe, then realized that its one-hundred-year Lifespan cost was manageable because a major breakthrough increased Lifespan.

• Jun Changxiao received three Talismans of Experience, unlocked purchase rights for two aptitude fluids and the Martial King Pill Recipe, and celebrated wildly.
• News of the Eternal Sect’s victory spread through Southwest Yang Province, and Yi Tianxing decided that the sect would represent the province at the Dragon Tiger Competition in two years.
• Jun Changxiao used all three Talismans of Experience and advanced from Fourth-grade to Seventh-grade, reaching a force of 11.5 million jin.
• Jun Changxiao checked the prices of the aptitude fluids and learned that the Martial King Pill could raise a Peak Martial Ancestor to Martial King at the cost of one hundred years of Lifespan.
• Li Qingyang and Zuiji said they would accept the Lifespan cost, and Jun Changxiao concluded that a major-realm breakthrough would increase Lifespan enough to offset it.
