Chapter Summaries

Demon Suppression Division experts debated whether Lin Changqing had the potential to become a Sequence Seed, with Ye Ming arguing that his rapid rise had exhausted his potential. Xing Shan challenged Ye Ming to wager an Innate Spirit Treasure on Lin Changqing reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and Ye Ming accepted.

• Xing Shan argued that Lin Changqing’s rise proved his talent and proposed a bet after the others rejected his promotion proposal.
• Xing Shan wagered an Innate Spirit Treasure that Lin Changqing would reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, while Ye Ming wagered one that he would not.

Lin Changqing defeated a Heavenly Immortal-level Blue Saber Mantis on the Tongtian Tower’s nineteenth floor, then chose to leave before challenging the twentieth floor so he could conceal his true strength. He emerged into the plaza to find that the crowd had learned he had broken the tower record.

• Lin Changqing appeared in the plaza, where the crowd recognized him and erupted over his nineteenth-floor clear and record-breaking achievement.

After two years of seclusion, Lin Changqing emerged with greatly improved cultivation but found his Inner World stalled at the limit of a Lesser Thousand World. With six months left in the Origin Realm, he decided to leave Hunyuan City and search the Nether Sea for Nine-Leaf Nether Grass, deliberately giving his hidden enemies a chance to act.

• Lin Changqing spent two years cultivating and entered the Hunyuan Tower nineteen times, mastering seventy-two laws and visualizing the Heavenly Divine Charm of twenty-seven heavens.
• Lin Changqing examined his Inner World and realized it had reached a bottleneck despite its complete Law Net and sturdy World Barrier.
• Lin Changqing decided not to challenge the Tongtian Tower for more Hunyuan Tower entries and instead planned to search the Nether Sea for one hundred stalks of Nine-Leaf Nether Grass.
• Lin Changqing left his courtyard and walked openly to the Mission Hall so others would learn he intended to leave the city.
• People throughout Hunyuan City learned that Lin Changqing was accepting a mission, and his hidden enemies celebrated their chance to attack him.

Lin Changqing left Hunyuan City for the Nether Sea to find Nine-Leaf Nether Grass and drew his pursuers into a trap. After annihilating their forces, he continued toward the Nether Sea, unaware that a mysterious golden expert had marked him for death.

• Lin Changqing accepted a mission to find Nine-Leaf Nether Grass and deliberately let followers track him out of Hunyuan City.
• A pursuer used a Forbidden Artifact to seal the space around Lin Changqing's Heaven Escaping Shuttle, and seventy-six fighters from the White Lotus Sect, Eternal Life Alliance, and Prince Jin's Estate surrounded him.
• The three factions activated nine Forbidden Artifacts and attacked Lin Changqing, but he unleashed Blade Qi infused with three hundred and sixty laws and killed them all.
• A mysterious golden expert arrived too late, learned that Lin Changqing had slaughtered the three factions, and set out after him toward the Nether Sea.
• Lin Changqing continued toward the Nether Sea and cultivated the Dao of arrays, aiming to become an Immortal Array Master.

Lin Changqing returned to the Nether Sea and spotted a powerful Woman in Red battling more than a hundred Heavenly Immortal-level Source Beasts above a lake. When he saw a Strange Treasure on an island in the lake, he raced toward it, but a growing beast tide threatened to overwhelm the area, so he activated the Square Inch Pagoda.

• Prince Jin's Heir learned that another attempt to intercept Lin Changqing had failed and ordered his people to keep sending attackers, if only for appearances.
• The White Lotus Sect and Eternal Life Alliance's remaining Outer Domain Sect forces abandoned plans to attack Lin Changqing.
• Lin Changqing arrived at the Nether Sea and saw the Woman in Red fighting more than a hundred powerful Source Beasts above an enormous lake.
• Lin Changqing noticed a Strange Treasure on a rising island protected by a Primordial Grand Array and headed toward it.
• As Source Beasts converged into a growing beast tide, Lin Changqing activated the Square Inch Pagoda to hurry toward the island.

Lin Changqing reached Lake Island and refused the Woman in Red’s offer to join forces, choosing to break the island’s innate Grand Array alone. After she diverted the Source Beasts toward him and disrupted his attempt, he fought his way back to the island as a massive beast tide gathered, leaving the Woman in Red fleeing for safety.

• Lin Changqing arrived above the lake, wounded nearly thirty attacking Source Beasts with one slash, and reached the Grand Array around Lake Island.
• The Woman in Red asked Lin Changqing to join forces, but he ignored her and used his array knowledge and Mind Power to begin breaking the barrier.
• Angry that Lin Changqing meant to claim the treasure alone, the Woman in Red drew the Source Beasts toward Lake Island, disrupting the array and blasting him away from it.
• Lin Changqing killed many attacking Source Beasts with Mind Power and a barrage of blade attacks, then returned to Lake Island and rebuked the Woman in Red for claiming it was hers.
• A vast tide of Source Beasts assaulted Lake Island, and the Woman in Red fled the lake rather than face them.

Lin Changqing found a powerful innate spiritual stone on Lake Island and stored it in his Inner World, where it grew into a peak that began transforming the world. After escaping the island’s destruction, he resumed searching the Nether Sea for Nine-Leaf Nether Grass.

• Lin Changqing located a crystalline stone beneath a pool on Lake Island and stored it in his Inner World after his Spatial Ring could not contain it.
• The stone devoured Immortal Spiritual Qi and grew into a mountain-sized peak, forcing Lin Changqing to increase the Inner World’s supply of it.
• As the Lake Island Grand Array collapsed, Lin Changqing destroyed the attacking Source Beasts around him, collected their Origin Crystals, and teleported away with the Square Inch Pagoda.
• Lin Changqing examined the peak and discovered that it bore Dao Scripts matching the laws he had comprehended, while its growth slowly improved his Inner World.
• Lin Changqing left the peak and used the Square Inch Pagoda to gather Nine-Leaf Nether Grass from the Nether Sea, evading the Source Beasts guarding it.

Lin Changqing entered Yin Wind Gorge, hoping to find enough Nine-Leaf Nether Grass to reach his goal of one hundred plants. He harvested another plant after suppressing and killing four Heavenly Immortal-level Source Beasts, then teleported toward the next one.

• Lin Changqing decided to explore Yin Wind Gorge after finding his harvest of eighty-one Nine-Leaf Nether Grass plants insufficient.
• Lin Changqing reached Yin Wind Gorge and found more than thirty Nine-Leaf Nether Grass plants within the range of his Mind Power, along with many powerful Source Beasts and deadly hazards.

• Lin Changqing used the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram to seal and suppress the area, then killed all four Source Beasts with a single punch.
• Lin Changqing collected the Nine-Leaf Nether Grass and teleported toward the next plant.

Lin Changqing harvested the Nine-Leaf Nether Grass in Yin Wind Gorge and planned to leave, but changed his mind after overhearing the Woman in Red describe a Strange Treasure that could help her reach the Golden Immortal realm. He followed her to the Sky Nether Palace, where she entered in search of the treasure.

• Lin Changqing finished gathering more than a hundred and twenty Nine-Leaf Nether Grasses and prepared to teleport out of Yin Wind Gorge.
• Lin Changqing spotted the Woman in Red entering the gorge and overheard her say an ancient map led to a Strange Treasure that could help her become a Golden Immortal within three years.
• Lin Changqing decided to follow the Woman in Red and secretly tracked her for nearly seven days along her carefully chosen route.
• The Woman in Red reached a black-miasma swamp, used a Token to summon the Sky Nether Palace, and opened its doors.
• The Woman in Red transformed into a Sword Light and entered the Sky Nether Palace.

Lin Changqing entered the palace after the Woman in Red and discovered the fourth level of the Square Inch Pagoda and the Star Tear. He stole Star Tear and battled the Woman in Red, but the Square Inch Pagoda fused with its missing level and fled, leaving Lin Changqing in pursuit.

• Lin Changqing followed the Square Inch Pagoda’s pull into the palace and found the fourth level of the pagoda and Star Tear on a protected altar.
• The Woman in Red shattered the altar’s restriction, but the fourth-level component flew to Lin Changqing and fused with his Square Inch Pagoda.
• Lin Changqing struck the Woman in Red with a Mind Spear, seized Star Tear, and stored it in his Inner World.
• The Woman in Red attacked Lin Changqing with her Mysterious Ice Sword Art, but he shattered her strike and sent her flying.
• The Square Inch Pagoda transformed after its fusion and escaped beyond the palace, so Lin Changqing abandoned the Woman in Red and chased after it.

Lin Changqing recovered the Square Inch Pagoda’s missing fragment, then headed toward Hunyuan City while cultivating. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal named Feng Ping intercepted him, revealed as a Demonized Warrior and Eternal Life Alliance mole, and attacked.

• Lin Changqing chased the Square Inch Pagoda out of the Nether Sea and watched it crash into a mountain, where it absorbed a buried fragment of itself.
• Lin Changqing reclaimed the strengthened Square Inch Pagoda, learned its teleportation and spatial-sealing abilities had improved, and decided not to return for the woman in red.
• Lin Changqing boarded the Heaven Escaping Shuttle toward Hunyuan City and continued studying arrays, Laws, and his Inner World as it neared a breakthrough.
• Feng Ping froze the Heaven Escaping Shuttle in midair and confronted Lin Changqing, who recognized him as a Demonized Warrior from the Eternal Life Alliance and a traitor within the Demon Suppression Division.
• Feng Ping introduced himself and attacked Lin Changqing with spears of icy fiendish energy, while Lin Changqing prepared to counterattack.

Lin Changqing killed Feng Ping, a pseudo-Grand Unity Golden Immortal sent by the Eternal Life Alliance, and returned safely to Hunyuan City. He planned to use his Nether Grass rewards for Hunyuan Tower cultivation, while an Eternal Life Alliance figure learned Feng Ping had died and began to suspect Lin Changqing was responsible.

• Lin Changqing overcame Feng Ping’s transformed attacks, severed one of his claws, and destroyed his body with the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
• Lin Changqing pursued Feng Ping’s fleeing Primordial Spirit and extinguished it with the Jingzhe Saber despite Feng Ping’s threat that the Eternal Life Alliance would seek revenge.
• Lin Changqing assessed that he could kill a pseudo-Grand Unity Golden Immortal without using Spiritual Power, then teleported to Hunyuan City with the Square Inch Pagoda.
• Lin Changqing entered the Mission Hall with more than 120 stalks of Nether Grass and planned to use twelve Hunyuan Tower opportunities to deepen his cultivation.
• An Eternal Life Alliance expert learned that Feng Ping was dead and Lin Changqing had returned, then wondered whether Lin Changqing had killed him.

Lin Changqing exchanged 120 Nine-Leaf Nether Grass for twelve Hunyuan Tower cultivation opportunities and refused Lu Zhiyuan’s request to buy any. A month later, Xing Shan ordered a thorough investigation into Eternal Life Alliance infiltrators in Hunyuan City after learning Feng Ping had been exposed and killed by Lin Changqing.

• Lin Changqing exchanged 120 Nine-Leaf Nether Grass for twelve chances to enter the Hunyuan Tower, drawing attention throughout Hunyuan City.

After three years of cultivation in the Origin Realm, Lin Changqing left Hunyuan City with the surviving newcomers and returned to Yunzhou City, having greatly increased his strength. The return revealed that nearly half of the entrants had died, while factions in Yunzhou mourned their missing prodigies.

• Lin Changqing completed his cultivation in the Hunyuan Tower, advancing his Inner World to a Middle Thousand World and visualizing the complete divine essence of the Thirty-three Heavens.

• Du Mingyue told Lin Changqing that fewer than six hundred thousand of the one million entrants had survived the three years in the Origin Realm.
• Lin Changqing and the other newcomers entered the opened passage and returned to Yunzhou City.
• Experts in the square saw that nearly half of their prodigies had not returned, and the square erupted in grief and anger.

Wu Wudi silenced the Heavenly Sword Sect’s accusations over its disciples’ deaths and arranged for Lin Changqing’s return to Dafeng Prefecture. He revealed that the Demon Suppression Division planned to use Lin Changqing as bait to lure out and destroy the forces plotting to ambush him.

• Wu Wudi overpowered the Heavenly Sword Sect expert’s challenge and warned the sect against questioning the Demon Suppression Division without evidence.

• Wu Wudi ordered his Demon Slaying Envoys to move out and wipe out the attackers, using Lin Changqing as bait for an ambush.

Lin Changqing foresaw an ambush by the White Lotus Sect, Eternal Life Alliance, Prince Jin's Estate, and other factions, then protected his companions when the attack began. Wang Jingyu died under the suppressing force, and Lin Changqing faced more than a thousand enemies gathered around him.

• Lin Changqing used Spiritual Perception to foresee a coming ambush and resolved to destroy the attackers.
• The White Lotus Sect, Eternal Life Alliance, Prince Jin's Estate, and Outer Domain Sects prepared three Forbidden Artifacts and over a thousand experts to intercept Lin Changqing's Taotie Warship.

• Lin Changqing refused to save Wang Jingyu, who was crushed to dust by the pressure.
• A thousand-plus experts surrounded Lin Changqing and his companions beneath the ancient cauldron's ten-thousand-li barrier.

Lin Changqing faced over a thousand experts from several powers who had come to kill him and revealed overwhelming strength. After destroying their attack and trapping them with the Square Inch Pagoda, he slaughtered most of them and began finishing off the survivors.

• The White Lotus Sect expert attacked Lin Changqing with the Ice White Lotus Disk, while the Dafeng Prefecture Demon Suppression Division members despaired and blamed Lin Changqing.
• Lin Changqing shielded Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue with a bronze bell, then shattered the Ice White Lotus Disk with one punch.
• The gathered experts tried to flee, but Lin Changqing used the Square Inch Pagoda to imprison space within a thousand li.
• The experts burned their Primordial Spirits or underwent Demonization, but Lin Changqing's Jingzhe Saber strike killed over seventy percent and left just over three hundred survivors severely wounded.
• Lin Changqing summoned lightning Blade Qi and used a Mind Storm to shred the survivors' souls as he moved to kill them all.

After Lin Changqing defeated the attackers, he left on the Heaven Escaping Shuttle with Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue, while the damaged Taotie Warship stranded the others. He let most of them aboard for payment but deliberately left behind the man who had insulted him, and the shuttle sped toward Dafeng Prefecture City.

• Lin Changqing returned after destroying the attackers, put away the great bronze bell, and prepared to leave on the Heaven Escaping Shuttle with Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue.

• Lin Changqing deliberately left behind the man who had insulted him, then flew away as the man cursed and vowed to use Lin Changqing's enemies against him.
• Aboard the speeding shuttle, Gu Chensha warned Lin Changqing that the man would hate him, but Lin Changqing dismissed him as insignificant.

Demon Suppression Division envoys used the Mysterious Sky Mirror to discover that Lin Changqing had crushed over a thousand attackers, then returned with him to Dafeng Prefecture City. Mo Yanfeng welcomed Lin Changqing with a banquet, where Lin kept his distance while accommodating the Chief for the sake of those close to him.

• A Demon Suppression Division powerhouse used the Mysterious Sky Mirror to replay the battle and reveal Lin Changqing defeating over a thousand powerhouses alone.

• Lin Changqing accepted Mo Yanfeng’s invitation to avoid causing trouble for his companions and attended the banquet, where he observed the gathering without openly challenging anyone.

Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue urged Lin Changqing to choose Yunzhou, warning him about the enemies waiting there, but he decided to go anyway to gain resources and settle his score with Prince Jin's Estate. After they pledged to stand by him, Lin Changqing gave them spirit-nourishing pills.

• Lin Changqing welcomed Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue, who said gathering the materials for the Heaven Escaping Shuttle would take at least a month.
• Du Mingyue and Gu Chensha recommended that Lin Changqing go to Yunzhou rather than the Imperial Capital, where competition for resources was fiercer.
• Gu Chensha warned Lin Changqing that rumors blamed him for Wang Jingyu's death, and Lin Changqing revealed that Xu Qingyan had also died by his hand.

• Gu Chensha and Du Mingyue promised to help Lin Changqing in Yunzhou, and Lin Changqing gave each of them a bottle of spirit-nourishing pills.
