Chapter Summaries

Xu Kun proposed building Ice Wolf Fortress to house ten million residents of City of Glaciers and block Ice Wolf City's route into City of Freedom. After the leaders resolved concerns about funding and wolf retaliation, Ye You raised the remaining question of whether the newcomers might eventually threaten the existing factions' territory.

• Xu Kun presented his plan to build Ice Wolf Fortress on the western plains, and the faction leaders recognized that it would house City of Glaciers' residents while sealing the passage from Ice Wolf City.
• Huang Rong explained that wealth seized from Joyous Union Sect and Five Venoms Sect could largely cover construction, while Xu Kun offered to use funds from Corpse Control Sect for any shortfall and asked the factions to contribute labor.
• Huang Rong warned that construction would take about a week and the unprotected fortress could be destroyed by Ice Wolf City's wolf race trial takers.
• Xu Kun and Huang Rong reasoned that attacking a fortress built for Queen Ashe's citizens could provoke a wider war between the wolf race and the human forces of the Russia War Zone, deterring retaliation.
• Ye You warned that the ten million newcomers might later move east and seize the factions' territory, and Xu Kun dismissed the concern without explaining further.

Xu Kun explained his plan to settle City of Glaciers’ ten million residents in Ice Wolf Fortress and use competition across Guanjiang to spur City of Freedom’s factions. After Ye You questioned whether Ashe would agree, Xu Kun bypassed her and ordered Ice Goddess Anivia to arrange the settlement, setting off an uproar across the human race.

• Xu Kun said Ice Wolf Fortress would be a temporary settlement and argued that competition between its residents and City of Freedom’s factions would strengthen both sides.
• Xu Kun proposed dividing control along Guanjiang and treating any friction as a chance to train their troops, reassuring the faction leaders.
• Ye You warned that Ashe and Tryndamere might reject the proposal, but Xu Kun said he would approach someone above Ashe instead.
• Xu Kun told Huang Rong to watch the human forum, then left for the Sword Pool Holy Land and posted an order to Ice Goddess Anivia to arrange a fortress for ten million people.
• Sky Eye liked Xu Kun’s post, which was pinned and seen across the human race, provoking an uproar over his commanding tone.

The Yuan Palace Lord ordered the Dapeng Lineage and Feng Bo Ting to assist Kun of the Human Race, promising Yun Cheng Wanlipeng a chance to lead his lineage. At the Blood Moon Palace, Xiao Zhan revealed that Su Xiaoxiao had returned, and the Blood Moon Ancestor began plotting to capture her and her daughter.

• The Yuan Palace Lord visited Tianpeng City and ordered its acting lord to tell Yun Cheng Wanlipeng to assist Kun, promising him the Dapeng Lineage's leadership if he succeeded.
• The Yuan Palace Lord also ordered Feng Bo Ting to assist Kun and promised him permission to return to the Phoenix Race after reaching the Twentieth Floor.
• The Blood Moon Ancestor condemned Xiao Zhan for losing the Succubus Race's assets, but halted his punishment when Xiao Zhan claimed he had seen the woman with the Blood Moon Succubus Bloodline.
• Xiao Zhan recounted his encounter with Xu Kun's group and Su Xiaoxiao, and the Blood Moon Ancestor extracted his soul to inspect his memories, killing him.
• Luo Zhixiang recognized Su Xiaoxiao and asked to attack the Human Race, but the Blood Moon Ancestor rejected the plan and ordered the major Blood Moon city lords to report to him.
• The Blood Moon Ancestor ordered his followers to find more powerful-blooded breeding stock as he planned to capture Su Xiaoxiao and use her daughter to restore the Blood Moon Lineage.

Xu Kun went with Ou Yezi to the Sword Pool to learn forging and discovered that his Sunlight Divine Water seed came from the Three Lights Divine Water. The Sword Pool’s spring water could meet his quenching needs, but Xu Kun drained nearly the entire pool into his Dragon-Patterned Gourd, leaving Ou Yezi stunned.

• Xu Kun followed Ou Yezi to the Sword Pool, where Ou Yezi explained the requirements for forging and revealed that an SS-tier water seed sustained the pool’s quenching spring.
• Xu Kun showed Ou Yezi his Sunlight Divine Water seed, and Ou Yezi identified it as one stream of the Three Lights Divine Water from the Eight Treasure Glazed Bottle.
• Ou Yezi explained the destructive powers of the separated Three Lights Divine Water and warned Xu Kun not to absorb the Sunlight Divine Water yet or use it to quench ordinary materials.
• Ou Yezi told Xu Kun to collect Sword Pool water in his Dragon-Patterned Gourd before beginning his forging lessons.
• Xu Kun used Mustard Seed Contains Lake to draw water into the gourd until the Sword Pool’s water level fell about fifty meters, and Ou Yezi discovered what he had done.

Ou Yezi began teaching Xu Kun systematic forging, emphasizing proper force, metal knowledge, and practice with ordinary tools. Xu Kun entered enlightenment while watching Ou Yezi forge, then emerged just as his metal bracelet vibrated.

• Xu Kun saw the spring replenish the water he had collected, but Ou Yezi warned him not to take more and led him to the forge.
• Ou Yezi taught Xu Kun to use a B-grade Forging Hammer and explained that Starfall Nine Heavens could hinder his development.
• Xu Kun broke the hammer while forging unfamiliar metal, and Ou Yezi pointed out his poor force technique and lack of knowledge about the metal.
• Ou Yezi gave Xu Kun an Encyclopedia of Ores and Metals and demonstrated how to forge B-grade and C-grade metals.
• Xu Kun entered enlightenment while watching Ou Yezi forge, and after more than an hour he opened his eyes as his metal bracelet vibrated.

Xu Kun’s post prompted Ice Goddess Anivia to decree that City of Glaciers’ residents and resources move to Ice Wolf Fortress, while powerful figures quietly moved to protect him. With Ashe announcing support for the relocation after a hostile confrontation with Tryndamere, construction of Ice Wolf Fortress began, and Xu Kun received a message from Yang Yao.

• Ou Yezi resolved to protect Xu Kun, and Xu Kun showed him Anivia’s reply ordering City of Glaciers to relocate to Ice Wolf Fortress under the Kite God’s decree.
• A woman in red instructed Anivia not to confront the people below directly and sent Volibear and the Ice Bear Clan south, permitting them to destroy two base cities.
• Ashe deleted her criticism of Xu Kun and failed to contact her war zone’s guardian deity, while Tryndamere confronted her over the relocation and left after they argued.
• Xu Kun saw Ashe publicly announce support for the decree, and Huang Rong relayed the news that Ice Wolf Fortress’s construction had officially begun.
• Xu Kun received a message from Yang Yao as he prepared to continue studying forging with Ou Yezi.

Xu Kun learned that Zhan Rourou had gained both light and darkness powers by consuming a Darkborn Demonic Core, while Yang Yao concealed how dangerously she had obtained it. In the Heavenly Kingdom, angels received a divine message that the legendary person was in Huaxia, and the Archangel ordered them to find and invite that person back.

• Yang Yao told Xu Kun that Zhan Rourou had consumed the Darkborn Demonic Core and now wielded both light and darkness, then reassured him that she had checked for side effects.
• After ending the call, Yang Yao confronted Zhan Rourou for risking her life to consume the core, and Zhan Rourou admitted she had done it because she did not want to hold everyone back.
• Yang Yao tried to inspect Zhan Rourou again, but Zhan Rourou turned invisible and fled until Yang Yao used frost to reveal and restrain her.
• The Heavenly Kingdom Guard reported to the Six-Winged Archangel that a dark cloud had come from the Fallen Temple and that the Light Angel statue had moved.
• The Six-Winged Archangel received a divine message placing the legendary person in the land where the Eastern Dragon and sun rise, identified Huaxia, and ordered the angels to find that person and invite them to the Heavenly Kingdom for two inheritances.

Ou Yezi taught Xu Kun the Zhengyang Gilding Hand and demonstrated his supreme hammer technique, Willow Sweeps the Clothes, while forging a Return to Ashes set. Xu Kun endured the full demonstration but collapsed from exhaustion; after waking, he was ordered to begin practicing the dangerous gilding technique.

• Ou Yezi taught Xu Kun about the Zhengyang Gilding Hand and showed how it sensed the structure and fusion of metal through touch and sound.
• Ou Yezi explained Willow Sweeps the Clothes, then used it with the Zongheng Divine Hammer to forge a Return to Ashes set while Xu Kun watched.
• Xu Kun endured the entire demonstration despite severe pain, then collapsed with blood flowing from his orifices after Ou Yezi completed the set.
• Xu Kun woke after more than ten hours, and Ou Yezi told him to forget the hammer technique’s details and later express his understanding through forging.
• After learning that he had two hours left in the Haotian Pagoda, Xu Kun asked what to do, and Ou Yezi carried him to the furnace to begin practicing the Zhengyang Gilding Hand.

Xu Kun learned the basics of the Zhengyang Gilding Hand and reunited the fragmented soul inside his Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast pet egg. He planned to take the egg to Sea of Fire Ravine so it could absorb the fire power needed to hatch.

• Xu Kun fled Ou Yezi’s forge after gaining a preliminary grasp of the Zhengyang Gilding Hand, impressing Ou Yezi and his disciples.
• Su Xiaoxiao and Hao Jian left to work on hatching Hao Jian’s Wind Golden Crow, while Xu Kun and the others prepared for the Poisonous Mistlands.
• Xu Kun used the Samadhi True Fire seed to reunite the fragmented soul in the Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast pet egg, starting its hatching stage and revealing that it needed five billion units of fire power.
• Xu Kun discovered that he could not use his Fire Attribute powers for another two days, so Yang Yao suggested letting the egg absorb fire power in a naturally hot place.
• Xu Kun and Yang Yao chose Sea of Fire Ravine, and Xu Kun set out to take the pet egg there.

Xu Kun arrived in the melting City of Glaciers, helped rescue residents, and summoned aid for their evacuation. After leaving the city, he flew into the Sea of Fire Ravine, where he plunged into its flames.

• Xu Kun teleported to the City of Glaciers and saw that rising heat and floodwaters were melting its buildings as residents and trial takers worked to relocate the city.
• Xu Kun froze collapsing ice houses to save Nilan and her family, then helped reinforce buildings and asked Yun Cheng Wanlipeng to send ice-element trial takers to assist the indigenous residents.
• Yun Cheng Wanlipeng arrived with City of Freedom trial takers, including Feng Bo Ting, and organized efforts to clear floodwater, build paths, and aid the relocation.
• After leaving the evacuation work to Wan Lipeng, Xu Kun flew toward the Sea of Fire Ravine and spotted treasure hunters searching near its edge.
• Xu Kun ignored the treasure hunters and plunged directly into the ravine's sea of flames.

Xu Kun hid the Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast egg deep in the Sea of Fire Ravine, then accidentally triggered a devastating eruption while escaping. Back with Yang Yao and Shen-bao, he examined the Judge's Soul-Reaping Brush and wondered whether the paper from Guanjiang Ghost Manor could let him use it.

• Xu Kun left the Crimson Flame Golden Lion Beast egg deep in the Sea of Fire Ravine, protected by a wisp of Six Ding Divine Fire so it could absorb fire power and hatch.
• With his fire-element attributes reduced to zero, Xu Kun struggled to escape the ravine and used a poison dragon to break through a magma blockage.
• Xu Kun's poison dragon triggered a massive eruption that rained fiery magma over nearby treasure-hunting teams, and he fled by teleportation scroll.
• Xu Kun showed Yang Yao the Sunlight Divine Water—Water Seed, but she and Shen-bao said they did not need it.
• Xu Kun inspected the Judge's Soul-Reaping Brush and learned that its life-and-death combination skill required control of the Book of Life and Death.
• Shen-bao suggested the paper from Guanjiang Ghost Manor might help Xu Kun use the brush, and he turned to examine it.

Xu Kun and the others examined the Book of Man: Book of Life and Death and learned that complete ancient divine artifacts far surpassed their fragments. Shen-bao revealed the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of Antiquity and described the Nüwa Stone, Kunlun Mirror, Kongtong Seal, and Shennong Cauldron, leaving the group eager to hear about the remaining artifacts.

• Yang Yao and Shen-bao explained the Book of Man's immense power, and Shen-bao said complete Ten Great Divine Artifacts of Antiquity surpassed incomplete ones.
• Shen-bao revealed that the Haotian Pagoda was one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts and ranked fifth, then listed all ten in order.
• Shen-bao explained that the Nüwa Stone could revive someone even after their soul was destroyed, though the artifact vanished after use.
• Shen-bao said the Kunlun Mirror could let its holder travel through time and that the complete Kongtong Seal could make its acknowledged bearer difficult to kill.
• Shen-bao revealed that the complete Shennong Cauldron could refine a Creation God Pill that let someone ascend directly into the divine realm.

Shen-bao explained the powers and origins of several ancient divine artifacts, revealing that the Haotian Pagoda had gathered its inhabitants and trials rather than creating them. Her hints about the Pagoda's secrets triggered its overwhelming pressure, and she continued by describing the Demon Refining Pot and Pangu Axe.

• Shen-bao explained that the Creation God Pill produced unstable pseudo-gods and described the Fuxi Zither's healing, destructive, and mind-controlling powers.
• Shen-bao revealed that the Haotian Pagoda was a complete ancient divine artifact that absorbed real stars, land, and creatures, and that it could not create what it rewarded.
• Xu Kun asked whether the myriad races could control the Haotian Pagoda, and Shen-bao suggested it might be seeking a worthy master before an overwhelming will silenced her.
• Shen-bao explained that spirit stones were crystallized power leaked by the Demon Refining Pot, whose true purpose was to suppress ancient ferocious beasts and demonic creatures.
• Shen-bao said the Pangu Axe and another top-ranked artifact belonged to humanity's Lords of the Era, then described the Pangu Axe's world-splitting and void-traversing powers and called the Pangu Lord humanity's guardian.

Shen-bao revealed that Pangu Lord had protected humanity from extermination and explained the immense powers attributed to the Xuanyuan Sword and Eastern Emperor Bell. After learning that the Dragon Race’s Dragon Gate may have been modeled on the Eastern Emperor Bell, Xu Kun learned that it would open in less than a year, then used the Book of Life and Death and Judge’s Soul-Reaping Brush on his companions.

• Shen-bao explained that Pangu Lord’s ability to leave the Haotian Pagoda had deterred other races from wiping out humanity, which instead faced policies of external suppression and internal division.
• Shen-bao said the Xuanyuan Sword could supposedly sever an entire star system, while ancient records described the Eastern Emperor Bell as “the path to godhood.”
• Shen-bao identified the Dragon Race as the race most likely to know about the Eastern Emperor Bell, and Yang Yao connected it to the Dragon Race’s coveted Dragon Gate.
• Yang Yao explained that the Dragon Gate purified and elevated the bloodlines of those who crossed it, and Shen-bao confirmed that her Mirage Race’s inheritance said it was created in imitation of the Eastern Emperor Bell.
• Yang Yao noted that the Dragon Gate would open in less than a year and wanted to attend, while Xu Kun silently kept the possibility in mind.
• Xu Kun took out the Book of Life and Death and Judge’s Soul-Reaping Brush and swept the brush across his three companions, revealing streams of their luck and Karmic Debt to himself.

Xu Kun checked the Book of Life and Death, learned that his heavy karmic debt could let it lock onto his soul, and set out with his companions for the Poisonous Mistlands. Before leaving, he gave Sikong Ting the Azure Phoenix Wheel and Hao Jian a mount, while Hao Jian delivered Su Xiaoxiao’s teleportation talismans; Xu Kun then arrived at the misty outskirts and opened his long-neglected attribute panel.

• Xu Kun used the Book of Life and Death to inspect Yang Yao, Sikong Ting, Shen, and himself, revealing their Human Race luck and karmic debt.
• Yang Yao gave Xu Kun an Ice Dominator Job Certificate, and the group headed toward the Poisonous Mistlands in search of a poison-type SSS-tier job certificate.

• Hao Jian delivered more than thirty F-grade teleportation talismans made by Su Xiaoxiao before returning to her in the wilderness.
• Xu Kun carried Yang Yao and Shen into the sky, met Sikong Ting at the Poisonous Mistlands, and opened his attribute panel.

The chapter compiled Xu Kun’s equipment, talents, skills, attributes, and quests, then showed him using a Low-Tier Stat Reset Pill to redistribute his 11,853 free attribute points. His updated Tier 10 Level 2 stat sheet left him with 6,000 Strength, 4,000 Constitution, 1,000 Agility, and 853 Focus added.

• Xu Kun’s gains and losses from his recent battles and secret realms were listed across equipment, talents, skills, attributes, and quests.

• Xu Kun redistributed his free attributes into Strength +6,000, Constitution +4,000, Agility +1,000, and Focus +853.
• Xu Kun’s renewed panel showed his Tier 10 Level 2 status, updated combat statistics, equipment, skills, and active quests.

Xu Kun fused the Wind Dominator and Ice Dominator certificates, gaining two SSS-tier skills and unlocking the Three Origins United as One quest, which required him to master Cloud Dispelling Palm as well. After examining his new skills, he learned the SS-tier soul-element skill Soul Sea Summon.

• Sikong Ting arrived to find Xu Kun gone, and Xu Kun soon returned with copied fire skills and two newly acquired SS-tier skill slots.
• Xu Kun fused the Wind Dominator and Ice Dominator certificates, gaining God of Wind Leg: Six Forms and Heavenly Frost Fist: Nine Forms.
• Xu Kun unlocked the Three Origins United as One quest, which required him to master Cloud Dispelling Palm and had progress of 2/3.
• Xu Kun shared the new skills and quest with Yang Yao, Sikong Ting, and Shen-bao, then explained that God of Wind Leg was complete despite its forbidden movement form.
• Xu Kun learned the SS-tier soul-element summoning skill Soul Sea Summon after Shen-bao encouraged him to take the trial reward from Guanjiang Ghost Manor.

Xu Kun studied the poison-immune Soul Sea Summon skill and prepared to use it to explore the Poisonous Mistlands with his companions. As they flew toward Fire Poison Ant Valley, he inspected his newly acquired equipment and skills, including the mysterious Xuanyuan Sword Qi.

• Xu Kun and Yang Yao recognized that Soul Sea Summon could create a poison-immune army, though its Soul Soldiers were individually weak.
• Xu Kun used Hundred Poisons Immunity to protect the group and showed them the SSS-tier Xuanyuan Sword Qi he had obtained at Xuanyuan Terrace.
• Yang Yao found Fire Poison Ant Valley, and Xu Kun led the group there to gather monsters for Soul Sea Summon.
• While they traveled, Xu Kun inspected Starfall Nine Heavens, the Luan-Phoenix Jade Pendant, and the Dragon Binding Cord.
• Xu Kun began reviewing the four SSS-tier skills he had gained from the Spirit Pearls.

Xu Kun reviewed his powerful wind and lightning skills and the three Thunder Comprehension chances he had saved, confident he would soon gain another skill slot after advancing his class. He reached Fire Poison Ant Valley with Yang Yao and prepared to attack the Fire Poison Ants.

• Xu Kun reviewed his Wind-Thunder God Body and his SSS-tier wind, lightning, and combined skills, along with the lower-tier water skills he had acquired.
• Xu Kun had three available Thunder Comprehensions but chose to save them and reserve his final vacant SSS-tier skill slot for a class advancement certificate.
• Xu Kun predicted he would obtain what he wanted in the Poisonous Mistlands and that Magic Warrior Advancement would solve his lack of skill slots.
• Yang Yao told Xu Kun they had arrived at Fire Poison Ant Valley, home to the Poisonous Mistlands' Tier-B Fire Poison Ants.
• Xu Kun set experience distribution to equal sharing and told his companions to stand back as he prepared to show off.

Xu Kun transformed into a Mirage Dragon with phoenix wings and rapidly cleared Fire Poison Ant Valley with ice and water breaths, earning experience and a new skill. His rampage drew out the valley’s B-grade boss, which Xu Kun caught with lightning as it tried to flee underground.

• Sikong Ting suggested using Myriad Thunder Prison Pull, but Xu Kun said he would handle the Fire Poison Ants himself.
• Xu Kun transformed into a thousand-meter Inverse Scale Mirage Dragon, grew phoenix wings, and froze thousands of Fire Poison Ants with Ice Dragon's Breath.
• Xu Kun paused to recover stamina, then flooded the valley with Water Dragon's Breath and killed more ants while the party gained experience.
• A gigantic Fire Poison Ant emerged from beneath the valley as the flood receded, and Xu Kun identified it as the race’s sole ultimate boss.
• The B-grade boss tried to burrow away, but Xu Kun bound it with Entangling Lightning Lash and swung it into the air.
