Chapter Summaries

Daoist Qingming reported the destruction of the Hunyuan Realm to the Lord of the Lingxiao Realm, who summoned three other Hunyuan Infinite experts to discuss Liu Yuan and his deadly Treasure. They suspected Liu Yuan had a powerful backer and prepared to decide how to respond.

• Daoist Qingming told the Lord of the Lingxiao Realm that a dark gold light had killed Hunyuanzi and destroyed the Hunyuan Realm.
• The Lord of the Lingxiao Realm summoned Daoist Jade Tripod, Ancestor Burning Heaven, and Fairy White Moon to discuss Liu Yuan’s actions and Treasure.
• The three experts arrived at the Lingxiao Realm and heard Daoist Qingming recount how the dark gold talisman had killed Xuantian in one strike.
• Daoist Jade Tripod argued that Liu Yuan’s sudden aggression likely meant someone far stronger stood behind him.
• Ancestor Burning Heaven asked the Lord of the Lingxiao Realm how he planned to handle the loss of the Hunyuan Realm and Liu Yuan’s encroachment.

Lingxiao Realm Lord and three fellow Hunyuan Infinite cultivators decided Liu Yuan threatened the worlds under their command and might be an outsider from another domain. They arrived at the Heavenly Mystery Realm, received no response from Liu Yuan, and sent Daoist Qingming inside to investigate.

• Lingxiao Realm Lord argued that Liu Yuan's destruction of the Hunyuan Realm threatened the other realms' resources and foundations.
• Daoist Jade Tripod, Burning Heaven Ancestor, and Fairy White Moon agreed to accompany Lingxiao Realm Lord to the Heavenly Mystery Realm, while Fairy White Moon warned Liu Yuan might be a spy from another domain.

• Lingxiao Realm Lord ordered Daoist Qingming to enter the Heavenly Mystery Realm and investigate, and Qingming reluctantly obeyed.

The four Hunyuan Infinite experts found the Heavenly Mystery Realm abandoned and concluded that Liu Yuan had fled with a powerful treasure rather than having a powerful backer. Back in the Lingxiao Realm, they devised a plan to lure him into an ambush, unaware that a much larger force was rapidly growing in the outer regions.

• The four returned to the Lingxiao Realm and reasoned that Liu Yuan was likely still roaming the Flowing Light Domain's outer regions.
• The Lingxiao Realm Lord ordered affiliated Realm Lords to flee and send word if Liu Yuan attacked, so the four could descend and ambush him.
• Burning Heaven, Jade Tripod, and White Moon returned to their Dao Fields to spread the plan, unaware that a far larger force was expanding nearby.

Daoist Jade Tripod escaped to the Qianyuan Dao Realm and warned Gan Tian about the talisman that had killed Lingxiao, Burning Heaven, and White Moon.

Gan Tian ordered Mo Chen to capture Cang Yu and kill his companions after learning they had used a powerful talisman to kill three Hunyuan Infinite experts. As the Qianyuan Dao Realm mobilized its forces and intelligence network to hunt them, Cang Yu and his group continued plundering worlds and welcomed the prospect of confronting the Ten Great Dao Realms.

• A dark gold mark on Cang Yu’s brow lit up, and a colossal finger of dark gold Laws descended through him.
• The finger erased Mo Chen and the nine other Hunyuan Infinite experts, along with their formation, leaving ten origin orbs behind.
• Cang Yu and Qin Jue’s forces recovered from their shock and gathered the ten orbs, including Mo Chen’s powerful origin.
• Cang Yu realized their expansion had drawn dangerous attention and that the talisman could not guarantee their safety.
• Cang Yu ordered his forces to end the operation and return to the Azure Spirit Realm immediately.

Several years later, Liu Yuan organized raids against the Ten Dao Realms, sending three teams to steal fortune while he led an elite group to settle old scores. As Liu Yuan departed for the Skywind Realm, a patrol led by Xuan Cang continued searching the outskirts of the Flowing Light Domain without finding their targets.
