Chapter Summaries

Laozi decided to join the Chan Sect, hoping to grow stronger through Yang Jian and help reconcile Yuanshi and Tongtian. His choice shattered Hongjun’s hopes of forming a Mystic School alliance, while the Chan Sect remained Multiverse City’s strongest power.

• Laozi judged the Humanity Sect too weak and neglected to serve his aims, and decided to join the Chan Sect because Yang Jian was its acting leader and a member of the Chat Group.
• Laozi planned to help repair the rift between Yuanshi and Tongtian, though he believed the Chan Sect and Interception Sect would not merge.
• Laozi said he would not force the Humanity Sect to merge into the Chan Sect and cared chiefly about protecting Xuandu.
• Yuanshi asked whether Laozi was serious, while Hongjun realized Laozi’s decision had ruined his plan to form a Mystic School alliance.
• Yuanshi remained unconcerned about the lost alliance, since Yang Jian and Yuanshi made the Chan Sect stronger than any other power in Multiverse City.

Yuanshi reconciled with his siblings and brought them toward Multiverse City, while the Chat Group welcomed Ying Zheng, whose Qin Dynasty world had not yet begun its conquest of the Six Kingdoms. Ying Zheng borrowed money to start cultivating immortality, and the chapter ended with his new opportunity underway.

• Laozi jokingly asked to join the Chan Sect, and Yuanshi welcomed him; Tongtian accepted Yuanshi’s All-Heavens Token but refused to join the Chan Sect.
• Cundi and Receiver flattered Yuanshi, who took satisfaction in returning to the Lotus Lantern World and showing off his power despite his teacher’s overwhelming strength.
• Yuanshi led his teacher and the others from the Lotus Lantern World toward Multiverse City.
• The Chat Group gained five new members, including Ying Zheng, whose Qin Dynasty world was at the timeline of Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens.
• Ying Zheng borrowed money to cultivate immortality instead of waiting for the Multiverse Investment Corporation’s annual dividends.

After joining the Multiverse Chat Group, Ying Zheng focused on cultivating immortality and planned to establish the Great Qin Dynasty of Fortune once he became an Immortal. When he reached the Golden Core Stage, a mysterious pillar of light appeared over Xianyang, leaving both him and the Yin-Yang School uncertain about its origin.

• Ying Zheng learned of Great Qin’s destined collapse and resolved to turn it into a Dynasty of Fortune modeled after Zhu Wushi’s Great Ming Heavenly Court.
• Ying Zheng set aside plans to deal with Lü Buwei and conquer the Six Kingdoms while he devoted himself to cultivation, using the Chat Group’s resources to advance rapidly.
• Ying Zheng broke through to the Golden Core Stage, and a pillar of light appeared above Xianyang City, astonishing its people.
• Ying Zheng recognized the pillar as an illusion, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess could not determine its nature.
• Moon Goddess asked whether the spectacle meant Qin State was favored by Destiny, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi affirmed it despite being unable to divine Destiny himself.

Ying Zheng watched a spectacular vision appear over Xianyang and discovered that the man posing as an Immortal was actually an ordinary mortal with mysterious power. Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess believed the vision revealed a connection between the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and Immortals, while Ying Zheng suspected the man was a Transmigrator.

• Ying Zheng scanned Xianyang with his Spiritual Sense but found no unusual energy behind the pillar of light.
• The pillar of light exploded and unfolded into a lifelike landscape painting, which Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess mistook for a World Within the Painting.
• A handsome young man appeared in the painting, and citizens of Xianyang knelt and called him an Immortal.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess linked the apparent Immortal to the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
• Ying Zheng probed the young man with his Spiritual Sense and found that he was an untrained mortal with an inexplicable power.
• Ying Zheng wondered whether the man pretending to be an Immortal was a Transmigrator.

Li Ke used the Illusionary Spirit Mirror and all his Reality Points to pose as an Immortal above Xianyang City, though he was an ordinary transmigrator with a frail body. He relied on the system and the mirror’s illusions to survive in the Qin Dynasty World, where ordinary people and martial artists could not see through them.

• Li Ke watched the people of Xianyang City kneel and call him an Immortal, while reminding himself that his appearance and aura were only temporary effects bought with Reality Points.
• Li Ke recalled how he had transmigrated from an ordinary modern life into the ancient Qin Dynasty World and despaired over losing internet access and good food.
• Li Ke explained that his system used Reality Points to make items from the System Store real, and that he needed those points to obtain what he needed to survive.
• Li Ke revealed that he had used the Illusionary Spirit Mirror, a Low-Grade Spiritual Artifact from his beginner gift pack, to create the heavenly display above Xianyang City.
• Li Ke reasoned that the Qin Dynasty World’s martial artists, including those who wielded True Qi, lacked the Magical Power needed to see through the mirror’s illusions.

Li Ke used the Illusionary Spirit Mirror to deceive Xianyang’s residents and gained millions of Reality Points, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi also believed part of his spectacle. Ying Zheng saw through the ruse, recognized Li Ke as a Transmigrator with a system, and reported him to the Multiverse Chat Group rather than confronting him alone.

• Li Ke’s illusion convinced many people in Xianyang, including Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess, that he had revealed a world within a painting.
• Li Ke gained millions of Reality Points from the city’s residents, with the amount each person could provide limited by their cultivation and depth of belief.
• Li Ke celebrated his gains and imagined fooling Ying Zheng, unaware that Ying Zheng had already joined the Multiverse Chat Group and become a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
• Ying Zheng used his knowledge of Transmigrators and his Ninth-Order Celestial Artifact to assess Li Ke’s deception, but refrained from activating the artifact to avoid alerting him.
• Ying Zheng reported Li Ke’s apparent system to the Multiverse Chat Group, explaining that the system—not merely Li Ke himself—was the key threat.

Bai Yu and the Chat Group members left most of the systems they had collected in a warehouse because developing them required World Source, which Bai Yu was saving for the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit. Bai Yu considered the rare Thirtieth Tier systems far more valuable and reflected on the unknown potential of his own system.

• The Chat Group members had discovered many Transmigrators and systems, but they left the systems unused because they could not afford to nourish them with World Source.
• Bai Yu had collected many systems through All-Heavens Tokens, but he also left them in storage while he used World Source to nourish the Great Dao Tree inside the Profound Light Pearl.
• Bai Yu had gathered enough systems with Innate Spiritual Treasure-level limits and decided they were not worth spending World Source on.
• Bai Yu identified four systems with Thirtieth Tier potential: the system from Langya World, Multiverse City, the Chat Group, and his own system.
• Bai Yu concluded that his system was at least Thirtieth Tier, but he still did not understand its Dao Comprehension Assistance function or how to investigate it.

Bai Yu explained the difference between Innate and Houtian Spiritual Treasures, including how the Qiankun Cauldron could add Innate Imperishable Spiritual Light and return a treasure to its innate state. The Chat Group discussed how to capture a Transmigrator in the Qin Dynasty World and decided they needed stronger equipment.

• Bai Yu dismissed systems that could not reach the Thirtieth Tier and explained why Innate Spiritual Treasures were generally superior to Houtian Spiritual Treasures.
• Bai Yu said the Qiankun Cauldron could condense Innate Imperishable Spiritual Light and restore the Profound Light Pearl to an innate treasure.
• The Chat Group members discussed the risks of capturing the Transmigrator in the Qin Dynasty World without alerting its system.
• Call Me Group Master said Limitless Pavilion had listed Twenty-Sixth-Tier Great Dao Spiritual Treasures and suggested upgrading their equipment.

Shi Yueyao proposed buying an Innate Spiritual Treasure to capture Li Ke’s system, but the Chat Group members questioned whether the group leader could afford such an expensive weapon. They explained why their usual method of luring systems into Multiverse City would not work easily against Li Ke, whose millions of Reality Points made him too powerful for the Qin Dynasty World’s forces.

• Shi Yueyao suggested upgrading their equipment with an Innate Spiritual Treasure because Sixteenth Tier Laws Treasures struggled against systems.
• The Chat Group members discussed consolidating their cultivation and using Sixteenth Tier treasures rather than spending vast amounts on an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• The members questioned whether the group leader was rich enough to buy a Twenty-Sixth Tier treasure just to capture a system.
• They explained that systems could be trapped by luring their hosts into Multiverse City, but outside-world power could alert a system and make it flee or retaliate.
• They recalled that Liu Shu’s system had been captured after General Duanmu ambushed him with powers native to the Armor World.
• They concluded that capturing Li Ke would be difficult because his millions of Reality Points made the Qin Dynasty World’s martial forces insufficient to stop him.

Shi Yueyao urged the Chat Group to buy an Innate Spiritual Treasure with Sacred Spirit Stones before Multiverse City introduced a higher-level currency. Bai Yu watched the discussion and remained unconcerned, since he valued the World Source behind the stones more than the stones themselves.

• Shi Yueyao concluded that Li Ke had likely passed his system’s opening phase and would be difficult to capture without overwhelming force.
• Shi Yueyao proposed purchasing an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and Chat Group members worried that a Twenty-Sixth-Tier treasure would be unaffordable.
• Shi Yueyao argued that Sacred Spirit Stones might no longer buy Innate Spiritual Treasures once Multiverse City introduced a higher-level currency, persuading the group that buying now was a major bargain.
• Bai Yu saw the discussion through his Law Avatar and reasoned that Sacred Spirit Stones were merely tools for obtaining World Source, which was what he truly valued.
• Bai Yu considered the exchange fair because Innate Spiritual Treasures were priced only a tiny bit high.

Shi Yueyao proposed pooling the Chat Group’s Sacred Spirit Stones to buy an Innate Spiritual Treasure that all members could use to capture Transmigrators. The group agreed and began collecting funds, leaving Yang Jian and others owing Sacred Spirit Stones to the members who contributed the most.

• Chat Group members discussed how family, friends, and subordinates kept many of them from stockpiling enough Sacred Spirit Stones to buy an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• Jiang Yuyan, Yue Qiluo, and Li Yunrui said they had saved many Sacred Spirit Stones, but still could not afford an Innate Spiritual Treasure alone.
• Shi Yueyao proposed that the group pool its funds to purchase an Innate Spiritual Treasure as shared property.
• The Chat Group agreed to invest together so they could capture the Transmigrator in the Qin Dynasty World without delay.
• Shi Yueyao tallied the contributions, with Yue Qiluo, Li Yunrui, Jiang Yuyan, and others contributing more than Yang Jian and the rest, who ended up owing them Sacred Spirit Stones.

Yang Jian and the group pooled their Sacred Spirit Stones to buy a Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure from Limitless Pavilion. The purchase drained the savings Yue Qiluo and others had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, and the group gathered on the Pavilion’s fifth floor to view its powerful wares.

• Yang Jian considered how the Chan Sect’s costly cultivation of high-end fighters offered little advantage over Yue Qiluo’s Qingyun Dao Sect, but he remained bound to the Chan Sect as its acting leader.
• The group members other than Bai Yu pooled their Sacred Spirit Stones and barely raised enough to buy one of the weakest Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, with some members taking on debt.
• Shi Yueyao, Yue Qiluo, Li Yunrui, and Jiang Yuyan contributed the largest shares, spending the savings they had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.
• The group gathered on Limitless Pavilion’s fifth floor and viewed its goods, all at least Twenty-Sixth Tier.
• Shi Yueyao wondered whether the Immortal Exalted had plundered the Primordial World to obtain so many Innate Spiritual Roots and Innate Spiritual Treasures, then recalled that the Immortal Exalted had reached the Twenty-Eighth Tier.

Shi Yueyao bought the Di Huang Bell with the Chat Group’s pooled funds, relying on Limitless Pavilion’s authorization token to let the Sixteenth Tier members use it. The group traveled to Ying Zheng’s Qin Dynasty World to capture a system and arrived at the Qin King Palace, where they turned their attention to Li Ke.

• Shi Yueyao chose the Di Huang Bell for its power to suppress systems, its defenses, and the Grotto-Heaven within it.
• The group bought the Di Huang Bell and received the Di Huang Token, which authorized its use without refining it.
• Shi Yueyao invited the group to Ying Zheng’s Qin Dynasty World to capture a system, and the members agreed to witness the treasure’s power firsthand.
• Ying Zheng welcomed the group at the Qin King Palace in Xianyang, and the members turned their gazes toward Li Ke.

Li Ke staged an illusory world above Xianyang City as a spectacular finale, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi mistook it for the Immortal Realm. Shi Yueyao used the Di Huang Bell to take control of the Qin Dynasty World's laws and shattered Li Ke’s illusions, leaving his performance abruptly exposed.

• Li Ke projected a vast, lifelike landscape above Xianyang City and drew in the nearly exhausted crowd’s attention.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi flew toward the illusion, convinced it was the Immortal Realm, while Ying Zheng recognized that the spirit mirror had created it.
• Shi Yueyao sent the Di Huang Bell into the void, and it seized control of the laws throughout the Qin Dynasty World.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi touched the illusion as Li Ke imagined recruiting him and pursuing women of the Yin-Yang School.
• Shi Yueyao rang the Di Huang Bell once, shattering Li Ke’s illusions and annihilating the Illusionary Spirit Mirror.

Shi Yueyao used the Di Huang Bell to suppress Li Ke’s system and forcibly strip it from him, leaving him in agony with severe damage to his soul. Eastern Emperor Taiyi was left despairing after the Immortal Realm vanished before he could ascend.

• The Immortal Realm and its strange phenomena vanished, bewildering Li Ke and Eastern Emperor Taiyi while the citizens of Xianyang City continued to worship the Immortal.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi despaired at losing his chance to ascend, while Li Ke panicked after finding himself imprisoned and his system unresponsive.
• Shi Yueyao used the Di Huang Bell to suppress Li Ke’s system and force it out of his body.
• Li Ke endured intense soul-wrenching pain as the system was removed, then was left dazed and severely damaged.

Shi Yueyao examined the Mirror of Illusion and Reality and learned that its damaged source prevented it from advancing beyond the Twenty-Fifth Tier. The mirror’s dangerous past and a remnant soul from a powerful Grand Cosmos left the Chat Group exposed to possible pursuit.

• Shi Yueyao identified the mirror as a Twenty-Fifth Tier Laws Treasure containing a Nascent Illusion-Reality Great Dao.
• Bai Yu had discovered that the mirror’s core source was incomplete and that its remnant soul had once been a Thirtieth Tier expert whose Great Dao had been severed.
• Bai Yu erased the remnant soul, obtained incomplete memories and the coordinates of a Grand Cosmos with twenty-eight Source Great Daos, and chose not to take the mirror.
• Shi Yueyao and the Chat Group members realized the mirror might carry dangerous Cause and Effect, with the Chat Group likely to draw any pursuer’s attention.

Shi Yueyao obtained the Mirror of Illusion and Reality, a supreme treasure that used Illusion-Reality Qi to turn false things real. Bai Yu recognized the extraordinary practicality of the Illusion-Reality Great Dao, while the group considered how to gather Qi and use the Mirror.

• Shi Yueyao discovered that the Mirror of Illusion and Reality held more than ten million strands of Illusion-Reality Qi and was delighted to possess it.
• Shi Yueyao learned that the Mirror had been Li Ke’s system, and that its store purchases consumed Illusion-Reality Qi while hiding the treasure’s true abilities behind a system interface.
• Shi Yueyao decided that group members could borrow the Mirror if they obtained their own Illusion-Reality Qi, perhaps by displaying their power in ordinary ancient or martial worlds.
• Bai Yu considered comprehending the Illusion-Reality Great Dao after recognizing that its power could make words become reality and even turn a false world real.

Shi Yueyao and the Chat Group tested whether the Mirror of Illusion and Reality could create World Source, but it showed no sign of working even after consuming ten million strands of Illusion-Reality Qi. They left the Qin Dynasty World, where Ying Zheng resumed seclusion, Li Ke was left without his system or artifact, and the memory-wiped Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess prepared to seek Ying Zheng’s cooperation.

• Shi Yueyao used the Mirror of Illusion and Reality to conjure phantom World Source, but ten million strands of Illusion-Reality Qi failed to make it real.
• Shi Yueyao proposed gathering more Illusion-Reality Qi before testing again, while Ying Zheng dismissed Li Ke as no longer worth pursuing.
• Shi Yueyao and the Chat Group left the Qin Dynasty World, and Shi Yueyao erased Xianyang’s citizens’ memories of what had happened.
• Ying Zheng returned to seclusion, while Li Ke was left in despair with only his luxurious clothes and Banished Immortal Aura.
• The memory-wiped Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess stood outside Xianyang and planned to cooperate with King of Qin Ying Zheng to investigate the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi sought Qin’s cooperation to uncover the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, planning to lure Ying Zheng with the promise of immortality. When he met Ying Zheng in the Qin King Palace, the king’s gaze filled Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon Goddess with involuntary fear, leaving Taiyi shaken.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi chose to ally the Yin-Yang School with Qin, hoping to lead the search for the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and its power.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi planned to present the secret as a path to immortality so Ying Zheng would keep working with the Yin-Yang School.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi met Ying Zheng in the Qin King Palace and offered the Yin-Yang School’s cooperation.
• Ying Zheng questioned why Eastern Emperor Taiyi concealed his true face, then fixed him with a stern gaze.
• Moon Goddess lowered her head under Ying Zheng’s presence, while Eastern Emperor Taiyi trembled and could not meet the king’s eyes.

Ying Zheng pressed Eastern Emperor Taiyi to reveal his face when the leader of the Yin-Yang School came seeking cooperation with the Qin State. Eastern Emperor Taiyi struggled to respond, believing the King of Qin was trying to dominate their negotiations.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi was caught off guard when Ying Zheng demanded to see his true face instead of asking about the Yin-Yang School's reasons for seeking cooperation.
• Moon Goddess was intimidated by Ying Zheng's imposing presence and wondered about Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hidden appearance.
• Ying Zheng recognized Eastern Emperor Taiyi as a Late Celestial Realm expert but considered him and the Yin-Yang School beneath his own power.
• Ying Zheng decided the Yin-Yang School would become his subordinates rather than his partners.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt Ying Zheng was forcing him to reveal his face as a show of strength and resented the King of Qin's treatment.
