Chapter Summaries

Xiao Chen refused Elder Zhu’s demand for an apology after punishing Zhou Gang, and Elder Zhu backed down rather than risk angering Xiao Chen’s powerful allies. Later, Xiao Chen asked Niu Feng about the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, and Niu Feng revealed he had heard someone might possess one.

• Elder Zhu demanded that Xiao Chen apologize to Zhou Gang and pay five Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but Xiao Chen refused because he believed he had done nothing wrong.
• Xiao Chen challenged Elder Zhu to fight, but Elder Zhu weighed the risks of confronting a True Disciple backed by Wu Qinglong and the Zhenbei King, then told Xiao Chen to leave.
• Xiao Chen and Niu Feng went to Niu Feng’s courtyard in the Breaking-Bud Zone, where Niu Feng thanked Xiao Chen for standing up for him.
• Xiao Chen asked Niu Feng about the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, and Niu Feng said he had heard someone might possess one.

Xiao Chen learned that the Divine Fruit Mystic Realm would emerge in five days and asked Ye Lanxi for a place among the Great Xia Imperial House’s entrants. Ye Lanxi agreed, though she warned him that the Demon Race’s young experts made the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit too dangerous to pursue.

• Niu Feng told Xiao Chen that the Great Xia Imperial House had discovered a mystic realm rumored to contain a Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit and directed him to Ye Lanxi.
• Ye Lanxi told Ye Qingxuan that the Divine Fruit Mystic Realm would admit only those under twenty-five and that the Demon Race had seized five of its six Secret Keys.

• Xiao Chen asked Ye Lanxi for a place in the expedition, and she agreed to let him enter with the Imperial House.
• Ye Lanxi cautioned Xiao Chen not to pursue the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit and urged him to focus on lesser opportunities.

Xiao Chen declared his determination to claim the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit and revealed that he had already broken through to Sword General, then prepared to refine a Martial Core before entering the mystic realm. Ye Qingxuan apologized and confronted how completely he had moved on, while Xiao Chen’s thoughts remained fixed on avenging Chou Wantian and Lin Jiansan.

• Xiao Chen told Ye Lanxi and Ye Qingxuan that he would not give up the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, and Ye Lanxi discovered he had already reached Sword General and condensed a Martial Core.

• Ye Qingxuan apologized to Xiao Chen and asked him not to hate her, but he said he no longer cared enough to pay attention to her and walked away.
• Ye Qingxuan recalled the kindness she had once taken for granted and broke down in tears as Ye Lanxi watched nearby.
• Xiao Chen returned to his palace, took out the Supreme Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, and wondered whether to refine his Sword Core or Body Core first.

Xiao Chen tempered his Sword Core with a Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, triggering the rare Ten Thousand Swords Return to Heart phenomenon and greatly increasing his strength. As he prepared for the Divine Fruit Mystic Realm, he learned how badly outmatched the Human Race would be and worried about Hei Meier and Moli, who had gone missing.

• Xiao Chen chose to temper his Sword Core first and absorbed the Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, calming his resentful Kunpeng Body Core with a promise to find it another fruit.

• Xiao Chen checked his communication jade token and worried because Hei Meier and Moli had not contacted him since fleeing Black Dragon Mountain.

• Hei Xuanfeng unleashed his Jiaolong Fire and demanded that Xiao Chen hand over the Water-Fire Lotus.
• Xiao Chen revealed that he had eaten every petal, and Hei Meier confirmed nothing as Hei Xuanfeng questioned her.
• Hei Meier asked whether Xiao Chen had a backup plan, but he insisted he could handle Hei Xuanfeng alone.

After discovering that Black Dragon Mountain had identified Xiao Chen and would target him in the Divine Fruit Mystic Realm, Ye Lanxi urged him not to go, but he refused.

• Xiao Chen named Huang Yelang as the prodigy who had overwhelmed the Tai Xu Sect’s Heavenly Prodigy Rank, though he believed he could challenge him after improving his cultivation.
• Xiao Chen offered to help Moli find her biological parents, but recalling her past caused her to collapse as a ten-petaled flower appeared between her brows and released terrifying Dao power.
