Chapter Summaries

Xu Yang raided Dragon Tiger Platform, seized its treasures and captives, and returned to his hidden valley base. After reviewing the power and forces he had built over thirty-eight years, he resolved to keep growing in strength before openly challenging the major powers.

• Xu Yang swept Dragon Tiger Platform's defenses with the Five Elements Divine Light, plundered its vaults, and fled Dragon Chapter City with the remaining captives and ritual implements.
• Xu Yang brought the spoils to his secluded valley, where his people shackled the Dragon Tiger Platform martial artists and stripped the faction's storehouses of their treasures.
• Xu Yang returned to his main body and reviewed his progress, having reached Nascent Soul cultivation and Daoist Celestial Master status while remaining at Martial Dao Pill Origin.
• Xu Yang had trained captives into cultivators and artisans and built production lines that produced ten million magical artifacts, along with other cultivation supplies and combat forces.
• Xu Yang concluded that his forces could defeat a Divine Martial Legacy but were not yet enough to withstand all major powers, so he planned to pursue Spirit Transformation and a Hundred Million Artifact Grade Immortal Spirit Mecha.

Xu Yang examined the spoils from his expedition to Dragon Tiger Platform, including Spirit Crystals, pills, and rare spiritual materials. He saved the Dragon Tiger Golden Core for a future breakthrough and began studying the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Stele to obtain a Divine Bridge cultivation technique.

• Xu Yang counted several hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Crystals and over a thousand Top-grade Spirit Crystals among his gains.
• Xu Yang inspected Dragon Tiger Platform's pills and found that the Dragon Tiger Golden Core could raise the chance of reaching Spirit Transformation to roughly seventy percent, surpassing Myriad Dao Academy's Deity Transformation Spirit Liquid.
• Xu Yang stored the sole Dragon Tiger Golden Core for a later breakthrough and set aside lesser pills to strengthen Su Shaoqing and his other subordinates.
• Xu Yang identified rare spiritual items, including fifth-rank materials, for future immortal artifact and Immortal Spirit Mecha refinement.
• Xu Yang revealed the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Stele, the twelfth War God's Catalogue, and began comprehending it to find a Divine Bridge cultivation technique.

Xu Yang learned that Chen Tianjie’s victory at Iron Heart Fortress had strengthened the Demonic Sect and restored the balance between the Black and White Paths. At Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the rival factions agreed to join forces against Xu Yang, with Dao Wuya promising to find him.

• Su Shaoqing reported that Chen Tianjie had defeated the White Path at Iron Heart Fortress, killed Zhou Buji, wounded Zhang Longyuan, and joined the Heavenly Demon Sect as its Grand Protector.
• Xu Yang dismissed Su Shaoqing’s worries that the Black and White Paths might unite against them and turned his attention to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion’s Heaven and Earth Bagua.
• At Dao Yin Peak, Shi Huxiong urged the Black and White Paths to set aside their differences and reclaim Dragon Tiger Platform’s War God’s Catalogue from Xu Yang.
• Dao Wuya warned the assembled leaders that Xu Yang’s rapid growth threatened them all, and the Demonic Sect and White Path each pledged a powerful commander to lead the campaign against him.
• Dao Wuya secured agreement for the alliance by making the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and neutral factions witnesses, then promised that his pavilion would locate Xu Yang.

Xu Yang deciphered the War God's Catalogue and learned the full progression of its Martial Dao, then planned how to pursue Immortal Martial Simultaneous Cultivation. He put the risky experiment aside until he could secure the War God Temple and control the world, just as ominous changes stirred in the heavens.

• Xu Yang used his reading skill to decipher the War God's Catalogue and identified the Martial Dao realms, from Body Tempering through Divine Martial.
• Xu Yang compared the body-centered War God inheritance with the Primordial Spirit-focused Immortal Path and decided he preferred not to abandon his physical body.
• Xu Yang devised a possible method for Immortal Martial Simultaneous Cultivation by retaining his Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit while tempering his body with a divided portion of his Primordial Spirit.
• Xu Yang postponed the experiment until he had stabilized his Immortal Path foundations, eliminated the major powers, and taken control of the War God Temple and the world.
• Xu Yang noticed the heavens churning ominously and said the expected event had finally arrived.

Dao Wuya and the two previous Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Masters attempted to locate Xu Yang with the Heaven and Earth Bagua, but Xu Yang turned their divination back on them and grievously injured them. With karma linking him to Dao Wuya, Xu Yang used a Spirit Treasure-grade Seven Arrows of the Nail-Head Plow-Head to launch a curse against him.

• Dao Wuya led two previous Pavilion Masters in using the War God's Catalogue and Heaven and Earth Bagua to find their target, but their divination revealed a True Martial temple guarded by divine generals.
• Dao Wuya attacked the vision, and the True Martial Venerable Deity struck back, causing all three men to suffer the backlash; Dao Wuya was badly injured.
• Xu Yang revealed that he had used the Concealment Method and the Luotian Ritual to turn the divination against the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, creating a karmic link with Dao Wuya.
• Xu Yang fashioned a straw effigy, marked it with talismans naming Dao Wuya and the Bagua Stele, and placed it on the Seven Arrows of the Nail-Head Plow-Head.
• Xu Yang fueled the Spirit Treasure with forty-nine bolts of Five Elements Divine Lightning and sent its curse flying toward Dao Wuya.

Dao Wuya was struck by a powerful curse after the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion activated its Heaven and Earth Bagua Array, and the curse left him gravely wounded. He survived long enough to identify the attack as a backlash of heavenly secrets and karmic causality, then gave the assembled factions a way to track the caster and urged them to eliminate him.

• The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion elders activated the Heaven and Earth Bagua Array as ominous clouds and thunder gathered over Dao Yin Peak.
• Dao Wuya was trapped by a curse that crushed him beneath the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and repeatedly struck him with Five Elements Divine Lightning.
• Chen Tianjie and the gathered Divine Intent Venerables failed to dispel the strange clouds, which faded as Dao Wuya collapsed inside Heaven and Earth Hall.
• Shen Chongrong and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion elders treated Dao Wuya, who awakened and explained that the curse was a backlash of heavenly secrets and karmic causality.
• Dao Wuya used the Heaven and Earth Bagua Stele to create two Bagua mirrors, gave one to each faction, and asked them to find and kill the caster.

Dao Wuya died after the Seven Killings Curse and Heavenly Mechanism backlash overwhelmed him, while the Black Path and Righteous Path struggled to respond to Xu Qingyang’s growing power. Xu Qingyang seized Evergreen Palace, and Li Hengjiang arrived with Righteous Path reinforcements to challenge the force behind its defenses.

• Dao Wuya told his master and grandmaster to take the Heaven and Earth Bagua Stele to Ren Weidao and join the Divine Martial Alliance, warning that the balance of attack and defense had changed.
• Chen Tianjie failed to find Xu Qingyang in the Mysterious Region and ordered his forces to return to the sacred altar, declaring that they had to unite against him.
• Dao Wuya succumbed to the curse and Heavenly Mechanism backlash, then exploded into ash while Shen Chongrong watched.
• Xu Qingyang used the Five Elements True Spirit Grand Array to break Evergreen Palace’s defenses and drive back its four Divine Intent Venerables.
• Shen Chongrong arrived with Li Hengjiang and other Righteous Path reinforcements, but Li Hengjiang recognized that Evergreen Palace had already been seized.
• Li Hengjiang stepped outside Azure Emperor City and called on the Primordial Ancestor of Divine Might to grant him instruction.

Xu Yang emerged from the Azure Dragon Array and defeated Li Hengjiang in a battle that destroyed his Spirit Treasure Mecha, forcing the White Dao forces to retreat. He claimed Azure Region for his Dao Domain and Evergreen Palace for Myriad Dao Academy, then returned to his fleshly body as the mecha exploded.

• Li Hengjiang tried to mediate with Xu Yang, but Xu Yang answered by attacking with the Earth Kirin Seal and Lightning Fire Sky-Flipping Seal.
• Li Hengjiang fought Xu Yang at close range, but Xu Yang’s overloaded Spirit Treasure Mecha overwhelmed the Overlord Sect Master and sent him flying with a powerful punch.
• Xu Yang unleashed the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Opening Sword Slash, shattered Li Hengjiang’s Overlord phantom, and grievously wounded him.
• Xu Yang took the Overlord Limitless Stele and declared Azure Region would become Dao Domain and Evergreen Palace would become Myriad Dao Academy, while the White Dao Venerables withdrew with Li Hengjiang.
• Xu Yang returned to Evergreen Palace, where his Spirit Treasure Mecha exploded and his Yang Spirit returned to his fleshly body.

After destroying his Five Elements Mecha to defeat Li Hengjiang and seize the Overlord Limitless Stele, Xu Yang resolved to abandon guerrilla warfare and establish Myriad Dao Academy openly, giving himself time to prepare for the War God Contest and the dangers of the War God Temple. He questioned his captives about Leng Aotian and the Temple’s secrets, then ordered them to investigate past Divine Intent Zenith experts who might have reached the Heaven and Earth Calamity Realm.

• Xu Yang reflected that the ruined Five Elements Mecha had been necessary to grievously wound Li Hengjiang, seize the Overlord Limitless Stele, and intimidate the great powers.
• Xu Yang concluded that raiding the factions was no longer sustainable and planned to establish a foundation for Myriad Dao Academy and develop before the War God Temple opened.
• Xu Yang inferred that powerful Martial Dao experts were trapped or occupied within the War God Temple, and that Leng Aotian had entered it to comprehend Shattering the Void.
• Shi Jinglong explained that Shattering the Void joined the martial arts of the forty-eight War God's Catalogues and enabled breakthroughs beyond Divine Intent.
• Xu Yang ordered Shi Jinglong and the four Evergreen Palace Venerables to list the historical Divine Intent Zenith experts who might have entered the Heaven and Earth Calamity Realm.

After Li Hengjiang was gravely wounded, the righteous and demonic factions consolidated their forces and ceded most of the Forty-Eight Regions, allowing Xu Yang to establish the Myriad Dao Academy and claim authority over the world. Xu Yang began setting laws for his new order and released many former hostages, but they begged to remain in his service.

• Shen Chongrong saved Li Hengjiang's life with an Eternal Evergreen Pill but said his injuries would require a thousand years to heal.
• The righteous factions agreed to merge their forces and retreat into three regions, while the demonic sects withdrew into the Heavenly Demon Two Domains to wait for the War God Temple to open.
• Xu Yang established the Myriad Dao Academy, and the world reorganized into one Dao power, two demonic powers, and three holy lands as warlords claimed the ownerless territories.
• Xu Yang addressed tens of thousands of former hostages, declared that the Academy would govern through laws and institutions, and released those whose crimes had been cleared.
• The released captives, including Li Hongjun, Chu Lingfeng, Zhou Fengyu, and Zhang Shaobai, pleaded with Xu Yang to let them stay and serve him.

Xu Yang established clear laws and promised prisoners freedom and a place at Myriad Dao Academy after they completed labor reform, while accepting everyone who came to pledge allegiance. He left Su Shaoqing with responsibility for arranging the newcomers and urged her to keep factional interests within the law rather than let fear of losing influence guide her.

• Xu Yang explained that sincere prisoners feared losing his teachings, while many Divine Martial descendants only pretended loyalty, and said his goal was to motivate everyone through hope and clear rewards.
• Xu Yang told the prisoners that they could leave or join Myriad Dao Academy once their punishments were fulfilled, and Mo Bufan celebrated the prospect of becoming a disciple.
• Xu Yang instructed Su Shaoqing to accept all the families and factions seeking allegiance and let her decide how to arrange them.
• Su Shaoqing warned that some newcomers might harbor ill intent, but Xu Yang said to judge their deeds rather than their thoughts and to use laws to prevent harm.
• Xu Yang cautioned Su Shaoqing against letting factional rivalry and fear of falling out of favor burden her, while affirming that she had a place in Myriad Dao Academy.

Li Hongjun and Chu Lingfeng chose to remain with Myriad Dao Academy, while Zhang Shaobai left alone; Xu Yang then introduced the academy’s jade tokens, rankings, rewards, and first grand competition. As factions within the academy pledged themselves to Xu Yang and prepared to compete, he turned toward developing his forces ahead of a future clash with War God Temple.

• Zhang Shaobai urged Li Hongjun and Chu Lingfeng to leave with him, but Li Hongjun rejected her former identity as Fairy Qionghua and Chu Lingfeng explained that he wished to live without shame, so they parted from him.
• Xu Yang summoned a thousand-zhang white jade pagoda and distributed Myriad Dao Life Tokens that explained the academy’s rankings, contribution points, and exchangeable treasures.
• Xu Yang announced that the first Myriad Dao Grand Competition would take place in three days, and the crowd studied their tokens in astonishment.
• Members of the Su Family’s Tianwu Dynasty main line resolved to use the competition to earn Xu Yang’s favor and restore their family’s standing.
• A father from a Zhang Family collateral branch told his son to serve Xu Yang loyally, arguing that their value and attitude mattered more than their origins.

A century after Myriad Dao Academy began uniting the world, its growing power forced Chen Tianjie to prepare Iron Heart Fortress to retreat into the Demon Domain, but resentment among the unrighteous sects fractured his defenses. The Bewildering God Sect and Tianxing Sect betrayed him and opened Heaven Domain City to the Heavenly Soldier, while Bu Mei'er welcomed the invading force.

• Chen Tianjie learned that the six unrighteous sects resisted relocating and holding Heaven Domain, despite Iron Heart Fortress preparing to retreat into the Demon Domain.
• Chen Tianjie told Chen Baihu to warn the sects that they had to survive another hundred years until War God Temple opened, while Chen Baihu reported that the Bewildering God Sect seemed ready to defect.
• Chen Baihu described how Myriad Dao Academy's policies and release of prisoners, including Shi Jinglong and four Evergreen Palace Venerables, had weakened the major powers' loyalty and morale.
• Bu Hongfu and two Divine Intent Venerables from the Bewildering God Sect and Tianxing Sect activated the Heavenly Tribulation Grand Array and challenged Chen Tianjie.
• Chen Tianjie recognized the sects' betrayal and manifested the Heavenly Tribulation Demon God as Bu Mei'er welcomed the Heavenly Soldier outside Heaven Domain City and offered a clear route inside.

Iron Heart Fortress and the Unrighteous Path forces fled Heaven Domain City as the Academy attacked, and Xu Yang’s mecha defeated Chen Tianjie. The Academy secured the city, accepted Bu Hongfu and her allies under its laws, and Xu Yang announced another assault on the Demon Domain in ten years.

• Chen Tianjie ordered Iron Heart Fortress to retreat, prompting the other sects to flee while Bu Hongfu and the two Tianxing Sect fighters tried to intercept them.
• Academy forces engaged the fleeing sects outside Heaven Domain City but allowed Chen Tianjie’s group to break through.
• Qinglong’s Xin Metal sword and Black Tortoise Kirin Seal overwhelmed Chen Tianjie’s strongest attack, killing him and scattering Iron Heart Fortress’s forces.
• The Academy quelled the chaos in Heaven Domain City, and Su Shaoqing reported the battle’s prisoners, deaths, and casualties to Xu Yang.
• Xu Yang forgave Bu Hongfu and the other two for their past actions, warned them to obey the Academy’s laws, and declared that the Academy would attack the Demon Domain again in ten years.

After the Myriad Dao Academy conquered Heaven Domain, Xu Yang chose to consolidate its gains before attacking the Demon Domain. The Righteous Path leaders agreed to merge their territories and cooperate with the demonic sects, while Sword Nun decided Cihang Jingzhai should seek terms with the Academy and sent Yun Mengyao to deliver the message.

• Xu Yang planned to spend ten years refining the Academy’s gains and strengthening its forces before attacking the Demon Domain.
• Zhang Longyuan told the Six Great Sacred Lands’ leaders that Heaven Domain City had fallen, and warned them about the danger of defections within their alliance.
• The Righteous Path leaders agreed to merge their three regions and coordinate with the demonic sects against the Myriad Dao Academy, relying on a new grand array for defense.
• Sword Nun told Yun Mengyao that Cihang Jingzhai’s survival mattered more than resisting Xu Yang and asked her to approach the Myriad Dao Academy.
• Yun Mengyao agreed to go after Xu Yang attacked the Demon Domain, regardless of how that battle ended.

Ten years after the Myriad Dao Academy conquered most of the Forty-Eight Regions, its forces attacked Demon Domain and clashed with the Demon Sect’s defenses. The chapter ended as four Demon God Corpses joined the battle and charged toward White Jade Immortal City.

• Yan Qianqiu and Luo Shentong reviewed the Demon Sect’s preparations and worried that the Myriad Dao Academy’s leader might have entered the Calamity Realm.
• The Myriad Dao Academy arrived above Holy City in White Jade Immortal City, and the Heavenly Demon Grand Array rose to attack it.
• White Jade Capital’s Five Elements Seal Heaven Lock Demon Grand Array locked the Heavenly Demon Grand Array, while Ming Xiao Daoists bombarded the city with thunder.
• Yan Qianqiu and Luo Shentong led Demon Sect cultivators and corpse puppets out to meet the Myriad Dao Academy’s forces.
• Four Demon God Corpses, each once a Calamity Realm expert, emerged from the abyss and charged toward White Jade Immortal City.

Xu Yang's Spirit Treasure Mechas destroyed the Devil Sect's attack on White Jade Immortal City, forcing its leaders and soldiers to flee. After the Heavenly Demon Grand Array collapsed, Xu Yang had the surrendering Mo Ji arrested and ordered his public execution, reaffirming that the law applied to everyone.

• Four Demon God Corpses and their corpse-puppet army charged into White Jade Immortal City while Yan Qianqiu and Luo Shentong's forces kept the Academy cultivators occupied.
• The Heavenly Spirit Official, Pure Yang Sword Immortal, Demon Quelling Marshal, and Sky-Flipping General struck back, using thunder, fire, and swords to devastate the corpse-puppet horde.
• Bu Hongfu and the other Academy cultivators seized the Devil Sect's distraction to wound their opponents, and the Devil Sect forces broke ranks and fled as the grand array collapsed.
• Mo Ji offered the Heavenly Demon Formation Diagram and surrendered, but Xu Yang had him restrained and ordered his execution alongside the captured demonic cultivators.
• Xu Yang told the assembled cultivators that laws and standards could not be broken, and they bowed and promised to remember.

Three months after the demonic sects were executed, Yun Mengyao entered the Dao Domain and was struck by its vast farmland, towering city, and strict laws. Guided by Xu Liang, she heard his defense of the Myriad Dao Academy’s policies before he brought her to its Law Enforcement Office.

• Yun Mengyao crossed the Dao Domain and marveled at its immense fields and flourishing agriculture, which she contrasted with Evergreen Palace’s priorities.
• Yun Mengyao entered the city on foot because an array barred flight, then encountered its crowded streets and bustling cultivation culture.
• Xu Liang approached Yun Mengyao, offered to guide her, and explained that she needed a Myriad Dao Jade Token to use the city’s services and remain in the Dao Domain.
• Xu Liang warned Yun Mengyao that the Academy strictly punished cultivators who broke the law, and he argued that executing the demonic sects upheld justice and would help win the Martial Region’s people.
• Xu Liang led Yun Mengyao to the Myriad Dao Academy Law Enforcement Office and invited her inside.

Yun Mengyao negotiated Cihang Jingzhai’s surrender to the Myriad Dao Academy, and Xu Yang dismissed her concern about the Calamity Realm experts returning because the times had changed. The Martial Region surrendered without a battle, and a century later the War God Temple reappeared to find the Academy’s forces mobilizing against the returning experts.

• Su Shaoqing met Yun Mengyao and explained that Cihang Jingzhai could join the Academy only by obeying its laws, surrendering its War God’s Catalogue and treasury, and accepting the Academy’s terms.
• Yun Mengyao asked whether Xu Yang feared the Calamity Realm experts who would return when the War God Temple reopened, and Xu Yang answered that he had no concern because the times had changed.
• Three months later, the Divine Martial Alliance, Cihang Jingzhai, and the other Martial Region powers surrendered, returning all forty-eight domains to the Myriad Dao Academy without a battle.
• A hundred years later, the War God Temple appeared at the East Sea Coast, and its returning experts began challenging one another to fight.
• Patrol Warship Jia-11 detected the War God Temple, and White Jade Capital, the Heavenly Demon God, and the Divine Martial Palace mobilized their forces and battle formations.

After leaving the War God Temple, Ren Weidao and the other returning Calamity Realm experts were intercepted by twenty-eight powerful Patrol Warships. The ships formed an array and summoned three great cities and their divine generals, leaving the experts and the temple surrounded beneath them.

• Ren Weidao left the War God Temple after reaching the Earthly Calamity Realm and found Ren Baimei fighting Deng Yunpeng among the returning experts.
• Deng Yunpeng broke away from Ren Baimei, but a giant warship marked “Myriad Dao Patrols the Heavens, A-11” blocked his path and shattered his red lotus attack.
• Twenty-eight Patrol Warships appeared around the returning experts, exchanged blows with them, and forced them back.
• The warships transformed into Sea-Suppressing Sky-Supporting Pillars and formed an array that sealed the Heaven and Earth Origin Spirit.
• Deng Yunpeng attacked the array, but the White Jade Immortal City appeared and blasted him back with Supreme Clarity Immortal Light and Great Heavenly Divine Thunder.
• The Heavenly Demon God Palace and Divine Martial Palace appeared beside the White Jade Immortal City, while towering Divine Generals and demon figures emerged above the surrounded experts and the War God Temple.
