Chapter Summaries

Wang Wu spent fifty years helping Frost Domain build Heaven and Earth Needles while repairing his spirit pills and strengthening his abilities. As Feng Muhan explained the stakes behind the construction, Wang Wu learned that the Hidden Origin Society planned to turn the Great Desolation Sin Prison into a second Town Origin Tower, and he began to form a bold idea.

• Wang Wu helped Frost Domain build twenty-one Heaven and Earth Needles and used the past fifty years to repair his spirit pills and improve his abilities.
• Wang Wu prepared to make a final attempt at Yin Fire Resistance while surveying the location for the forty-seventh Heaven and Earth Needle, but Feng Muhan stayed by his side.
• Feng Muhan refused to let Wang Wu survey other teams' array patterns alone and explained the threats facing Frost Domain and the pressure on the Hidden Origin Society.
• Feng Muhan revealed that the Hidden Origin Society planned to transform the Great Desolation Sin Prison into a second Town Origin Tower, with the Vermillion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle project supporting that goal.
• Wang Wu agreed to continue cooperating and reminded Feng Muhan that he had saved Frost Domain eight trillion dou of spirit energy while keeping twelve billion dou for himself.
• Wang Wu gave up on exploring alone for now but came up with a bold idea about the Town Origin Tower.

Wang Wu raised Passive Concealment to Level 27 and secretly tested how far he could travel into the Evil Wind without being detected. He deliberately contracted increasingly severe stages of Evil Wind Bone Plague to build resistance, but his powerful defenses kept defeating it for meager gains.

• Wang Wu spent six years helping construct Heaven and Earth Needles while saving refined vitality and blood to raise Passive Concealment to Level 27.
• Wang Wu left the Main Three-Defense Fortress unnoticed, confirmed Feng Muhan and the others could not detect him, and ventured into Level 7 Evil Wind.
• Wang Wu contracted seventh-stage Evil Wind Bone Plague, which his Creation Fire Spirit Energy and other defenses eventually suppressed, earning him only 1 point of Evil Wind Resistance.
• Wang Wu stayed in the Evil Wind for half an hour on a second trip and contracted the eighth-stage plague, which his Self-Healing Talent contained in under thirty hours.
• Wang Wu recovered after losing three years of lifespan and gained just 10 more points of Evil Wind Resistance.

Wang Wu endured the ninth stage of Evil Wind Bone Plague, then spent twenty years recovering while the Three Calamities stabilized and his role in building Heaven and Earth Needles diminished. As Feng Muhan prepared to leave with the Heaven and Earth Compass, he returned badly injured, and Wang Wu discovered the compass had been stolen.

• Wang Wu endured three shichen in the Evil Wind, suffered severe permanent losses, and gained 4,000 Evil Wind Resistance before spending three months recovering.
• Wang Wu spent twenty years repairing his Spirit Pills, improving Danger Sense and cultivating three Spirit Pills to second grade as the Three Calamities weakened.
• Feng Muhan told Wang Wu that Frost Domain no longer needed his help with surveying and construction and offered to see him off amid tensions over the nearly completed Town Origin Tower.
• After Feng Muhan left carrying the Heaven and Earth Compass, he returned less than an incense stick later, bloodied and unconscious, with his Three-Defense Treasure Armor destroyed.
• Wang Wu searched Feng Muhan and discovered that the Heaven and Earth Compass had been stolen.

Bai Yu stabilized Feng Muhan and ordered the prison laborers to seal themselves away while Wang Wu examined the shattered Creation Wind Spirit Pill. The Hidden Origin Society then declared war on the Tianshu Immortal Alliance, leaving Frost Domain’s sabotage crisis on the brink of a larger conflict.

• Bai Yu stabilized Feng Muhan’s injuries, ordered the twelve prison laborers to remain silent under Spirit-Sealing Talismans, and offered rewards to anyone willing to help Frost Domain.
• Bai Yu told Wang Wu that the Heaven and Earth Compass had been stolen and destroyed, leaving Frost Domain unable to build more Heaven and Earth Needles for ten years.
• Wang Wu agreed to treat Feng Muhan and used the Four Clowns to diagnose his shattered Fifth Rank Creation Wind Spirit Pill and severe injuries.
• The Four Clowns warned Wang Wu that the attack had likely been intended to kill Feng Muhan and might be linked to suspicions about Qin’s death.
• The Hidden Origin Elder Council announced a state of war and declared that the Hidden Origin Society would fight the Tianshu Immortal Alliance until one side perished.

Wang Wu healed Feng Muhan with his Greatest Common Divisor Pill and spiritual energy, allowing him to recover and join the Hidden Origin Society’s defense against a full-scale attack. Feng Muhan helped Bai Yu complete the Town Origin Tower’s formation, but the battle continued as Wang Wu lamented the loss of his pill.

• Bai Yu asked Wang Wu to save Feng Muhan and rushed outside to defend the Hidden Origin Society.
• Wang Wu used a miniature Heaven and Earth Needle, his Greatest Common Divisor Pill, and spiritual energy to stabilize Feng Muhan’s injuries and help him recover.
• Feng Muhan woke, absorbed the remaining spiritual energy, and rushed outside as the attackers assaulted Bai Yu’s unfinished formation.
• Feng Muhan fought six opposing Grand Unity True Immortals while Bai Yu completed and activated seventy-five Formation Flags for the Town Origin Tower.
• Feng Muhan returned bloodied after killing one enemy and severely wounding another, then asked Wang Wu for more pills; Wang Wu pretended he had none and mourned his loss.

Wang Wu stayed inside the Three-Defense Fortress as a catastrophic disturbance destroyed most of the Frost Domain’s Heaven and Earth Needles, then watched as Divine Lord Yinyuan’s reinforcements arrived and Frost Lord appointed him chief administrator. The chapter left him responsible for repairs, with Qing Xue due to assist, while the Hidden Origin Society and Tianshu Immortal Alliance entered a full-scale war.

• Bai Yu linked the Frost Domain’s Heaven and Earth Needles with formations from the Fire and Azure Domains, but a sudden upheaval in the Sin Prison Tower shattered the formation and gravely injured Bai Yu and Feng Muhan.
• Feng Muhan urged Wang Wu to stabilize the Formation Flags, but Wang Wu stayed inside the Three-Defense Fortress, and the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul vanished as most of the needles were damaged.
• Divine Lord Yinyuan’s Immortal Talisman temporarily sealed the hole made by the Tianshu Alliance, and Frost Lord arrived with twenty Grand Unity True Immortals to rescue Bai Yu and Feng Muhan.
• Frost Lord ordered the criminal prisoners transferred back to the Black Domain and told Wang Wu that he had done the right thing by preserving himself.
• Frost Lord granted Wang Wu three requests, assigned him responsibility for repairing the Heaven and Earth Needles, promised that Qing Xue would assist him, and named him chief administrator.

Wang Wu repaired thirty-six Heaven and Earth Needles and formed a Vermilion Bird Formation Soul, then sent it to support Frost Lord on the battlefield. The formation soul destroyed the grand formation trapping Frost Lord, but the resulting shockwaves killed Wang Wu’s wisp of Divine Sense.

• Wang Wu repaired thirty-six Heaven and Earth Needles over three days using the remaining Vermilion Bird Formation Stones.
• Wang Wu activated the repaired needles and formed a Vermilion Bird Formation Soul, which let him observe the battlefield and locate Frost Lord.
• Frost Lord received an order to attack the Tianshu Grand Formation’s southwestern corner despite having only seven Grand Unity True Immortals still able to fight.
• Wang Wu activated Frost Lord’s mysterious spirit talisman, then sent the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul through the Great Immeasurable Immortal Talisman to reach her.
• Wang Wu unleashed the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul, which grew to enormous size and destroyed the grand formation trapping Frost Lord and her companions.
• Wang Wu withdrew the formation soul, but battlefield shockwaves killed his remaining wisp of Divine Sense.

Frost Lord’s Vermilion Bird Formation Soul turned the battle around, earning her a place on the Hidden Origin Elder Council. Wang Wu learned of Dragon Head City’s fall and Qing Xue’s rescue efforts, then discovered that she considered the Heaven and Earth Needles and their formation soul to belong to Frost Domain.

• Frost Lord unleashed the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul, charged through the shattered enemy formation, and killed seven Grand Unity True Immortals as her forces secured a victory.
• Divine Lord Yinyuan promoted Frost Lord to Second Rank elder and admitted her to the Hidden Origin Elder Council, while Fire Lord congratulated her and granted her seven days to rest.
• Wang Wu reflected on the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul and repaired thirteen more Heaven and Earth Needles, bringing his total to forty-nine.
• Qing Xue arrived alone and told Wang Wu that Dragon Head City had fallen, that she had rescued 532 of his relatives and friends, and that Snake Nineteen had died.
• Qing Xue explained that Frost Lord had not expected a complete Vermilion Bird Formation Soul from only forty-nine needles, then told Wang Wu that the needles and formation soul belonged to Frost Domain.

Qing Xue used a one-time immortal formation to create a powerful Vermilion Bird Formation Soul for Frost Lord, then told Wang Wu that Feng Muhan had been credited with killing Qin Yu. After Qing Xue left, Wang Wu discovered that the forty-nine Heaven and Earth Needles had vanished and noticed a similar formation being prepared at the neighboring site.

• Qing Xue arranged all forty-nine Heaven and Earth Needles and activated a specialized immortal formation to cultivate the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul.
• Qing Xue thanked Wang Wu for helping save Frost Lord and accepted his request, then completed a lively, powerful Vermilion Bird Formation Soul.
• Qing Xue told Wang Wu that Elder Hui's Divine Calculation named Feng Muhan as Qin Yu's killer, and that the Qin Family had betrayed them and been destroyed.
• Qing Xue said Elder Hui had become a second-rank elder and offered Wang Wu a chance to return as his disciple, but Wang Wu refused; she then told him Wang Zhige was dead.
• After Qing Xue departed with the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul, Wang Wu discovered that all forty-nine Heaven and Earth Needles had disappeared and saw eighty-one intact needles being used for a similar formation nearby.

Wang Wu watched the Sin Prison Tower’s formation souls get taken away, then secretly collected damaged formation stones as the Three Calamities faded. With the tower calm and Qing Xue gone until she returns in ten years, he decided to build a Heaven and Earth Needle so he could repair the stones.

• Wang Wu saw a tiny Vermilion Bird Formation Soul return to him, but chose not to investigate it or risk alerting Divine Lord Yinyuan.
• Wang Wu searched the tower for Yin Fire and Evil Wind while gathering fifty thousand damaged formation stones left behind by the factions.
• The final formation soul was taken, all sixteen sets of Heaven and Earth Needles disappeared, and the tower’s Evil Wind weakened to Level Three.
• Wang Wu found Qing Xue’s jade talisman, learned she had left after the war, and agreed to wait ten years for her return.
• Wang Wu examined the damaged formation stones and decided to construct a Heaven and Earth Needle to repair them, despite his lack of spiritual energy.

Wang Wu spent years and vast resources repairing five hundred White Tiger Formation Stones, then assembled them into a miniature Heaven and Earth Needle to recover spirit energy from damaged stones. After reclaiming five billion points of spirit energy, he declared himself financially free, though his other formation stones were rapidly deteriorating.

• Wang Wu selected the White Tiger Formation Talisman and used the Three-Defense structures to build a sealed workspace, then began repairing its formation stones with spirit energy borrowed from his Spirit Pills.
• Wang Wu repaired three hundred stones, exhausted the Spirit Pills and his own bloodline resources, and continued until all five hundred were repaired after another half year.
• Wang Wu immediately assembled a miniature Heaven and Earth Needle and entered it before placing the final formation stone, then used Yin-Yang Two Energies to contain escaping spirit energy.
• Wang Wu dismantled nearly two thousand damaged formation stones inside the miniature Heaven and Earth Needle, recovering about five billion points of spirit energy and achieving wealth freedom.

Wang Wu dismantled formation stones until the spiritual energy in the Heaven and Earth Needle threatened to overwhelm him, then used the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul to compress and consume most of it. A sudden warning from his Danger Sense led him to suspect Elder Hui might target him despite his apparent disappearance, so he chose to prepare for danger rather than pursue a perfect formation.

• Wang Wu dismantled formation stones and accumulated more than fifty billion points of spiritual energy, prompting the Four Clowns to warn that the Heaven and Earth Needle could become dangerously unstable.
• Wang Wu struggled to store the energy and abandoned plans for multiple projects after realizing the remaining formation stones could eventually raise the total to three hundred billion points.
• Wang Wu controlled the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul to refine fifty billion points of ordinary spiritual energy into Level 6 Creation Fire Spirit Energy, which the soul then swallowed.
• Wang Wu decided to deploy a Five Aggregates Piercing Formation on his Innate Bloodline Five Demon Cores instead of waiting for the Five Elements Profound Yellow Formation.
• Wang Wu explained that his Danger Sense warned him Elder Hui might uncover his staged disappearance and have the Azure Dragon Clan pull out his Hidden Dragon Tendons.

Wang Wu tried to strengthen the Logistics Three Pills with the Five Aggregates Iron Prison Formation, but his corrections resonated with the White Tiger Formation Talisman and transformed the array. After deploying it, he struggled to direct the resulting surge of spirit energy and left the Houtian Five Spirit Pills fighting among themselves.

• The Four Clowns advised Wang Wu to strengthen the Logistics Three Pills, maintain three cultivation sequences, and avoid Qing Xue and the Azure Dragon Clan by cultivating in seclusion.
• Wang Wu hid underground, repaired the Vermilion Bird Formation Stones, and abandoned plans to repair the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise Formation Stones when the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower seemed close to activating.
• Wang Wu refined accumulated spirit energy into level 6 Creation Fire Spirit Energy and began deploying the Five Aggregates Iron Prison Formation for the Logistics Three Pills.
• Wang Wu's corrections resonated with the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, changing the array into a Five Aggregates White Tiger Essence Gold Heavenly Prison Formation as spirit energy accumulated around him.
• After Wang Wu completed the deployment, more than thirty billion units of spirit energy surged into his sequences, nearly forcing the Logistics Three Pills to break through.
• Wang Wu diverted some of the surge to the innate and Houtian sequences, where the Five Houtian Spirit Pills erupted into a battle, while he turned his attention to identifying the new array.

Wang Wu’s new Five Elements Lesser Yin Formation stabilized his cultivation sequences and briefly drove his realm toward Grand Unity, but he realized he still lacked the comprehension to form his own Dao. After reviewing his status, he sensed that the war had ended just as Qing Xue arrived at the end of her ten-year term.

• The Five Elements Lesser Yin Formation harmonized the Second Sequence, reclaimed power from the First Sequence, and separated the clashing pills in the Third Sequence so Wang Wu could preserve the Greatest Common Divisor Pill.
• The Four Clowns named the formation, and Wang Wu meditated for nine days as it refined the Logistics Three Pills and rapidly strengthened his bloodline, lifespan, and attributes.
• Wang Wu’s cultivation surged toward Grand Unity First Order True Immortal, but the breakthrough faded because he had not formed his own Dao.
• Wang Wu concluded that he needed to undergo trials and deepen his understanding rather than force his cultivation higher, then examined the report and his attribute panel.
• Wang Wu sensed that the war outside had ended and that the Hidden Origin Society might restart the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower, then welcomed Qing Xue as her ten-year term ended.

Wang Wu discovered that the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul concealed him from two powerful pursuers, but Frost Lord drove them away with overwhelming force. She then confronted him and offered him control of the Frost Domain, pressing him about his feelings for Qing Xue; he was left facing her question about whether he would give Qing Xue up.

• Wang Wu used the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul to watch Qing Xue and spotted a gray strand of qi that transformed into a snake and searched for him.
• A middle-aged scholar and the Great Witch Priest of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Clan appeared, but Frost Lord overwhelmed them with her sword radiance and frost.
• Elder Hui and another elder asked Frost Lord to spare the Azure Dragon envoy and the Great Witch Priest, and she withdrew her attack after warning them to behave.
• Frost Lord found Wang Wu and told him she had become a second-rank elder and wanted him to become the Frost Domain's master.
• Frost Lord challenged Wang Wu about teasing Qing Xue and asked whether he would give her up.

After Frost Lord appointed Wang Wu Lord of the Frost Domain, he was escorted from the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower and witnessed the strange scale of the world beyond it. He arrived at a Hidden Origin Society gathering where elders began dividing shares in the tower, and realized it was a spoils division conference.

• Frost Lord told Wang Wu that Qing Xue was in seclusion, confirmed she would honor her promise, and appointed him Lord of the Frost Domain.
• Two Black Domain wardens informed Wang Wu that the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower would restart, while avoiding his questions about the conflict with the Tianshu Immortal Alliance.
• Wang Wu teleported out of the tower and observed how the world’s domains were folded and layered as he ascended past immortal formations.
• A cloud carried Wang Wu to a gathering attended by Frost Lord, Elder Hui, and Hidden Origin Society elders, where Frost Lord ordered him to take the empty seat.
• An elder and Elder Hui activated their formation souls to claim shares in the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower, and Wang Wu recognized the gathering as a spoils division conference.

The Hidden Origin Society’s elders contested control of the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower, and Frost Lord secured the third seat on the Elder Council despite her Vermilion Bird Formation Soul being suppressed. The council then restarted the tower to enforce the Reincarnation Decree, sweeping up hidden prisoners as Wang Wu watched.

• Frost Lord cast her powerful Vermilion Bird Formation Soul into the tower, where it initially dominated the other Formation Souls.
• An elder’s Azure Dragon Formation Soul and another elder’s Phoenix Formation Soul gathered allies and divided most of the tower’s authority between them, leaving Frost Lord’s Vermilion Bird with only 6%.
• A voice appointed Duanmu Cheng chief elder, Feng Rushan second-seat elder, and Shuang Hongye third-seat elder, granting each three votes and a periodic veto; Frost Lord was injured when the Formation Souls were taken away.
• Duanmu Cheng proposed restarting the tower to carry out the Reincarnation Decree, and all seven second-rank elders approved.
• The tower’s reset exposed tens of thousands of hidden prisoners, including True Man Yufeng, and its great net captured them for forced reincarnation as Wang Wu watched.

Wang Wu arrived in the Frost Domain, where Frost Lord outlined his responsibilities overseeing its outer domain and its immortals. When he offered her the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul and asked to enter seclusion, Frost Lord explained that she needed ten thousand years to recover and that giving her the Formation Soul would create serious complications.

• Frost Lord brought Wang Wu and the Frost Domain’s Grand Unity True Immortals from the Yinyuan Divine Hall to the Frost Domain aboard an immortal cloud.
• Frost Lord showed Wang Wu the thriving inner domain and explained that his new duty was to oversee its outer domain, including maintaining its Earth Immortal population and supporting its Grand Unity True Immortals.
• Wang Wu offered Frost Lord the Vermilion Bird Formation Soul as a betrothal gift and asked to enter seclusion to pursue his Dao and prepare to advance.
• Frost Lord explained that Divine Lord Yinyuan planned to use the Formation Souls to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and that she had spared Wang Wu from surrendering his Soul.
• Frost Lord said she would need to recover in seclusion for at least ten thousand years and that another Vermilion Bird Formation Soul in her possession would cause serious problems.

Wang Wu spent decades enjoying a quiet life after becoming Frost Domain's ruler, until Feng Muhan summoned him to save the gravely injured Lu Tong. He found Lu Tong near death and learned the Hidden Origin Elder Council could not investigate the attack promptly, leaving his survival in Wang Wu's hands.

• Frost Lord warned Wang Wu that he could borrow the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower's power through Hidden Origin Bells, but cautioned him not to use it to kill, and said Qing Xue might emerge from seclusion in five hundred years.
• Wang Wu spent several years enjoying himself in a mortal city, then lived peacefully with Snow Wolf General and Madam Yu for fifty years.
• Feng Muhan arrived and carried Wang Wu to a supreme-grade Hidden Origin Bell, where Wang Wu saw the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower's image and a spirit spring holding the dying Lu Tong.
• Feng Muhan explained that an unknown enemy had shattered all five of Lu Tong's Creation Spirit Pills and destroyed his Creation Immortal Body, then begged Wang Wu to save him.
• Wang Wu said he had no immortal pills left and could only save Lu Tong's life, while Feng Muhan and Zhuang Bufei explained that the Hidden Origin Elder Council could not promptly investigate because Lu Tong had not died and Frost Lord was in seclusion.

Wang Wu learned that Frost Domain faced escalating attacks from a hired Wandering Grand Unity and tried to stabilize Lu Tong’s injuries with a Heaven and Earth Needle. After discovering that the formation stones he planned to use were forbidden prison property, he put them away, while Feng Muhan volunteered to become his personal attendant.

• Feng Muhan explained that Xiao Bu Er had ambushed Lu Tong and that earlier retaliation by a hired Wandering Grand Unity had escalated the conflict between the factions.
• Wang Wu ordered Frost Domain to suspend high-risk affairs, maintain stability, and prepare a detailed report, while promising only that Lu Tong would not die.
• Wang Wu prepared a miniature Heaven and Earth Needle from five hundred Vermilion Bird Formation Stones to treat Lu Tong, but Feng Muhan warned that possessing them could bring severe punishment.
• Zhuang Bufei explained that the stones were forbidden because they came from the Great Desolation Sin Prison Tower, and Wang Wu put them away as the others swore to keep silent.
• Feng Muhan described Lu Tong’s Righteous Qi Path and warned that Lu Tong would report Wang Wu if he learned of the stones.
• Feng Muhan asked about Wang Wu’s search for his own path, then declared himself Wang Wu’s personal attendant.
