Chapter Summaries

Xu Yang killed Xiao Zhang and Yue Qing'er during the duel, escaped Zhou Yuan, and returned to his hidden base with the Universe Heart-Protecting Armor and other spoils. He planned to repair the armor and use his new materials to forge a Li Di Yan Guang Banner for a High-Grade Immortal Spirit Mecha.

• Xu Yang used the sword formation to break Xiao Zhang's damaged Universe Heart-Protecting Armor and kill him, then took the armor and his immortal artifacts.
• Zhou Yuan charged Xu Yang, but Xu Yang escaped with the Five Elements Great Escape; he then killed Yue Qing'er as she rushed toward Xiao Zhang's body and escaped again.
• The witnesses fled, and Zhou Yuan returned to the Nine Heavens Giant Ship, deciding that the Xiao Family would bear responsibility for the disaster.
• Xu Yang returned to Kirin Palace at the Mirage Dragon Source and secured the damaged Universe Heart-Protecting Armor, planning to repair and subdue it.
• Xu Yang searched Xiao Zhang's and Yue Qing'er's storage treasures, found a whole Five Elements Divine Dragon Wood and other materials, and prepared to refine a Li Di Yan Guang Banner and upgrade White Jade Capital.

Xu Yang began spreading the Dao and Martial Twin Sutras across the Northern Region and Central Plains while his true body cultivated, using his clones to evade powerful pursuers and plunder resources. Thirty years later, the Ten Great Holy Lands had failed to stop the methods from spreading, and Meng Fanyin felt a strange familiarity with the man behind it.

• Xu Yang postponed refining the Li Di Yan Guang Banner until he could reach the Great Vehicle realm and sent Yang God clones to spread the Dao and Martial Twin Sutras and gather resources.
• Thirty years later at Jing Nian Nunnery, Meng Fanyin spoke with her Senior Sister about her sealed memories and the Manjushri Sword Seal.
• Meng Fanyin's Senior Sister described how the Sutras' spread had sparked competition for resources and alarmed the Ten Great Holy Lands.
• The Senior Sister recounted how Xu Yang escaped a Mahayana cultivator, looted the faction that pursued him, and evaded Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion and Heavenly Mechanism divinations.
• After the Ten Great Holy Lands banned the Sutras, Xu Yang hid them in supposed Predecessor's Cave Mansions, making the methods impossible to suppress.
• Meng Fanyin wondered what the man wanted and felt an inexplicable familiarity with him.

Xu Yang secretly met Meng Fanyin at Jing Nian Nunnery and revealed that he had spread the Dao and Martial Twin Sutras, promising to return for her when the time was right. After he left, Meng Fanyin was left contemplating her connection to her past life as Shi Feixuan.

• Meng Fanyin told her senior sister she wanted to join her and their Third Senior Sister on a mission after their master emerged from seclusion.
• Xu Yang appeared in Meng Fanyin's courtyard, embraced her, and asked her to return with him, but she refused because she had taken the Manjushri Sword Seal and remained at Jing Nian Nunnery.
• Meng Fanyin realized Xu Yang had spread the Dao and Martial Twin Sutras, and he confirmed it despite her warning that the Ten Great Holy Lands opposed him.
• Xu Yang gave Meng Fanyin a supernatural cultivation method to protect her Primordial Spirit and urged her to understand the Manjushri Wisdom Sword as a path of wisdom rather than emotional severance.
• Meng Fanyin asked Xu Yang's name and then her own past-life name; he told her he was Xu Qingyang and that she had been Shi Feixuan before disappearing beneath the Bodhi Tree.

Xu Yang ended his campaign to spread the Dao and Martial Twin Sutras across the Northern Region and turned to cautious development while planning how to reunite with Meng Fanyin and find Xin Shisiniang. With the three dream worlds constrained by powerful threats, he entered a dream again, hinting at a new scheme.

• After his Yang God returned, Xu Yang reviewed the gains from more than thirty years of spreading the sutras and killing predatory tribulation cultivators, then suspended the campaign to avoid provoking the Ten Great Holy Lands.
• Xu Yang kept Meng Fanyin away from Mirage Dragon Abyss because Jing Nian Nunnery's Manjushri Sword Seal could expose it, and he gave her the Heavenly Dipper art Spirit Roaming and Qi Control as protection.
• Xu Yang remained unable to locate Xin Shisiniang, but believed she had reincarnated outside the Northern Region and planned to search the other regions and the Endless Sea once he grew stronger.
• Xu Yang assessed the slow development of the Divine Martial World, Daoist Magic World, and Earth Immortal Realm, deciding that none could safely undergo major changes yet.
• Despite those limits, Xu Yang smiled, closed his eyes, and entered a dream again.

Xu Yang awoke in the body of Gan Jin, a malnourished university student who had died after discovering his girlfriend Lu Xuemei with another man on Christmas Eve. He suspected the mysterious Red Moon had injured Gan Jin’s soul and found that the strange, spiritually barren Blue Star world held secrets, while his immediate problems included a weak body and debt.

• Xu Yang woke on a rooftop in Gan Jin’s body and pieced together Gan Jin’s history, including his parents’ deaths and his relationship with Lu Xuemei.
• Xu Yang recalled that Lu Xuemei had returned to her dormitory with another student on Christmas Eve, after which Gan Jin drank himself into unconsciousness beneath the Red Moon.
• Xu Yang suspected Gan Jin had died from a soul injury caused by the Red Moon and recognized similarities to phenomena associated with Papiyas and Mara in other worlds.
• Xu Yang sensed that Blue Star had almost no spiritual energy despite its ten-to-one time ratio with his true world, and decided to investigate its mysteries after building his strength.
• Xu Yang discovered he had no spiritual roots, only 96.3 yuan, and a severely weakened body from Gan Jin’s years of overspending and poor nutrition.
• Xu Yang opened a loan app for startup money and found that Gan Jin already owed 7,500 yuan, with repayments due soon.

Xu Yang investigated the Red Moon and Blue Star Federation, finding no clear answers about either, then decided to focus on strengthening himself through Martial Dao. As he left campus to seek an all-you-can-eat restaurant, a suspicious van stopped in front of him.

• Xu Yang borrowed Zhou Xuan’s camera and laptop, but found that photographs and online reports showed no trace of the eerie Red Moon he remembered.
• Xu Yang researched Blue Star’s history and learned that the Blue Star Federation had replaced the nations a century earlier, though the reason remained unclear.
• A roommate told Zhou Xuan that Gan Jin had seen Lu Xuemei return with Jiang Tao, and Zhou Xuan remarked that Xu Yang seemed like a different person.
• Xu Yang decided to ask his main body for Martial Dao-supporting traits and went out to find an all-you-can-eat restaurant.
• A suspicious van drove up and stopped in front of Xu Yang before he reached the restaurant.

Xu Yang sold his house to Zhang Qiang for three hundred thousand yuan, using a soul-snatching technique to secure the deal while concealing his abilities. He recovered from the technique’s toll, bought equipment, and began a plan to spread the Martial Scripture by becoming a streamer.

• Xu Yang agreed to transfer his house to Zhang Qiang for three hundred thousand yuan and the cancellation of his debts.
• Xu Yang used the Heavenly Demon Great Law to confuse Zhang Qiang and his men, then endured severe depletion of vital energy and blood.
• Xu Yang recovered by consuming sugar water and high-calorie food, and decided to postpone dealing with Zhang Qiang to avoid attracting the Federal Authorities.
• Xu Yang withdrew cash, bought a phone and laptop, and went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant to film himself eating.
• Xu Yang planned to become a Martial God Streamer and use his influence to spread the Martial Scripture.

Xu Yang cautiously prepared to launch a martial-arts-themed eating broadcast, recording videos while building his strength and researching medicinal ingredients. At a herb market, he encountered Zhou Xuan and Chen Yan, revealed he was leaving school, and bought herbs before heading home.

• Xu Yang decided to stockpile polished eating-broadcast videos and wait until he was strong enough before livestreaming, avoiding attention from the Federal Authorities.
• Xu Yang spent the day eating at a buffet while concealing his presence, then researched medicinal ingredients online to prepare for refining pills.
• Several days later, Xu Yang bought ginseng and other herbs at the Longhai City medicinal herb market, bargaining down the vendors’ prices.
• Xu Yang encountered Zhou Xuan and Chen Yan, told Zhou Xuan he would not return to school, and declined their offer to help him find herbs.
• After Xu Yang left with his purchases, Chen Yan wondered whether he came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, while Zhou Xuan remarked that he seemed changed.

Xu Yang used his Pill Dao and Martial Scripture skills to rebuild his body, advancing from Inner Force to True Qi through intensive cultivation. After transforming his appearance and receiving the Taiyi live-streaming device from his Daoist Magic Main Body, he set out to begin a Martial Path live stream.

• Xu Yang prepared medicinal baths and tonic pills, then cultivated until he formed Inner Force.
• Xu Yang blocked Lu Xuemei's call and used his supply of medicine to cultivate for nearly a month.
• Xu Yang advanced to the second realm of Body Refinement and transformed his physique and appearance.
• Taiyi arrived as Xu Yang's live-streaming device, and Xu Yang left home to begin a Martial Path live stream.

Zhang Qiang’s criminal organization recruited a debt-burdened girl and prepared to turn her into a livestreamer while secretly profiting from sexual exploitation. A towering stranger attacked the Red Book Bar, killed its guards, and sealed the entrance.

• A yellow-haired youth brought a frightened girl to Zhang Qiang, who ordered Sister Hong to register and train her as a livestreamer.
• Sister Hong showed the girl the company’s livestream studios and explained how the organization made money through online broadcasts and offline exchanges.
• Sister Hong offered to put the girl on camera that day, while lookouts watched the roads outside the bar.
• A huge stranger approached the bar, and a guard’s radio warning was cut off by a heavy impact.
• The stranger smashed through the bar’s doors, killed the fleeing guards, and locked the entrance with a padlock.

Xu Yang stormed through a gang’s nightclub, killing or incapacitating its guards and fighters before reaching the third floor. He confronted Zhang Qiang as Zhang held a livestreaming girl at gunpoint, and the chapter ended with Xu Yang approaching them.

• Xu Yang sealed the nightclub exit and knocked down the security guards and gang members who tried to stop him.
• Xu Yang punched Chen Tianying into a wall, and Zhang Qiang fled to the third floor.
• Sister Hong introduced a new girl on a livestream when Zhang Qiang burst in and took the girl hostage.
• Zhang Qiang pressed a gun to the girl’s forehead and threatened the approaching Xu Yang.

A gigantic newcomer rescued the hostage, killed Zhang Qiang and Sister Hong, and forced her to reveal that Chen Antai was at his villa in Jiangnan District. The livestream continued despite efforts to shut it down, prompting Nie Hailong to mobilize the Federal Security Department as the shocking footage spread online.

• Zhang Qiang held a girl hostage, but the newcomer stopped and challenged him to use his one shot to kill him.
• Zhang Qiang fired at the newcomer, who survived the bullet and smashed Zhang Qiang's head into a wall, causing the girl to faint.
• The newcomer seized Sister Hong and made her reveal Chen Antai's location before killing her.
• Nie Hailong learned that the livestream could not be shut down and ordered teams to the scene and to Chen Antai's villa.
• The newcomer left as screams, gunshots, and impacts echoed through the corridor, while viewers and livestream audiences across Hongshu TV reacted in shock.

Nie Hailong investigated the massacre at Red Book Bar and learned that the killer had used extraordinary martial and network abilities to punish Antai Group criminals while sparing innocent workers. The investigation shifted when a new video appeared online, bearing the uploader’s War God Temple identity and the name Martial Maniac.

• Nie Hailong’s assistant reported that the livestream had been delayed by advanced technology, while investigators confirmed that the killer had killed forty-eight Antai Group criminals and spared twelve innocent network employees.
• The assistant described how the killer used steel nails and overwhelming physical force to kill Antai Group members, including Chen Tianying, and survived close-range gunfire.
• Nie Hailong ordered a thorough investigation into people connected to Antai Group’s lending disputes after learning the killer had taken cash and destroyed debt documents.
• Investigators found no fingerprint match for the killer, and Nie Hailong headed to examine Chen Antai’s case.
• A colleague showed Nie Hailong a newly uploaded video whose avatar and signature identified the uploader as War God Temple and Martial Maniac.

Nie Hailong watched a viral video showing Martial Maniac assaulting Red Book Bar and defeating Antai Group’s forces, including Chen Tianying. The video ended with Martial Maniac learning Chen Antai’s location, while viewers argued over whether the footage was real and what he would do next.

• Nie Hailong watched the video as it spread across the internet and recognized the attacker as Martial Maniac.
• Martial Maniac killed the Antai Group sentries outside Red Book Bar and brutally defeated dozens of armed men inside.
• Martial Maniac killed Chen Tianying with one punch after Chen challenged him on the bar’s second floor.
• Zhang Qiang took a girl hostage, but Martial Maniac killed him and survived a bullet wound by forcing the bullet out of his chest.
• Martial Maniac interrogated a man about Chen Antai, learned he was in Dragon Sea’s Jiangnan District, and killed the man before the video ended.
• Nie Hailong opened the comments, where viewers debated the video’s authenticity, the War God Temple, and Martial Maniac’s next move against Chen Antai.

Nie Hailong watched the video expose the Federation’s hidden dealings and spread beyond anyone’s control. The latest update showed the intruder attacking Chen Antai’s manor, where he faced Chen Antai and prepared to fight.

• Nie Hailong learned that the video had spread across online platforms and sent a private message asking its uploader to talk.
• A new video showed the intruder breaking into Chen Antai’s manor during a banquet and defeating the guards and Chen Antai’s eldest son.
• Chen Antai confronted the intruder, whose Gang Qi palm strike failed to move him.
• The intruder declared that Chen Antai would pay for his crimes, then tore apart his shirt and charged at him.

Martial Maniac defeated Chen Antai and his armed men in front of a livestream audience, displaying overwhelming martial skill and defenses. He then headed toward the Chen Family villa as the livestream spread shock through the world.

• Martial Maniac charged Chen Antai, countered his Eagle Claw technique, and battered him until he crashed through the villa.
• Chen Antai's relatives and gunmen opened fire on Martial Maniac, but a golden bell-like barrier deflected the bullets.
• Martial Maniac shattered the barrier into six Dragon Shadows and unleashed the Dragon Subduing Palm, devastating the manor and killing the gunmen.
• Martial Maniac picked up his enormous black suitcase and strode toward the Chen Family villa, ignoring the livestream and the surrounding commotion.
• The author noted that the story would focus on how Martial Path Live Stream changed and drove the world forward.

Nie Hailong realized the Martial Maniac’s public acts of justice could threaten the Federal Authorities by winning legitimacy and popular support. After the Martial Maniac released evidence tying Antai Group’s victims and injuries to their crimes, the public turned against both the group and the authorities, while Xu Yang took stock of his gains at home.

• Nie Hailong and his assistant concluded that the Martial Maniac’s displays and pursuit of legitimacy might signal a bid to win popular support and challenge the Federal Authorities.
• A third video revealed that the dead and injured members of Antai Group had criminal records, while the uninjured Red Book Company employees had not joined the group’s crimes.
• Nie Hailong ordered the scene inspected for surveillance and left in anger, realizing the video had made him and the Federal Authorities targets of public criticism.
• The livestream audience reacted to the evidence and watched more footage exposing Red Book Live and Antai Group’s abuses.
• Online anger spread from Antai Group to the Federal Authorities, and Xu Yang began assessing the gains from his operation at home.

Xu Yang used the wealth and medicinal herbs seized from Chen Antai to support his plans, while Taiyi gave him powerful control over the internet and livestream production. He settled on a two-pronged strategy: Martial Maniac would spread martial arts and clear obstacles, while Gan Jin built and managed a power within the Blue Star Federation.

• Xu Yang counted Chen Antai's cash, gold, and medicinal herbs, worth over a hundred million and useful for his cultivation.
• Xu Yang summoned Taiyi, a supercomputer spirit treasure that could control networks and produce polished martial arts livestreams.
• Xu Yang reviewed Federal Authorities' records on Martial Artists and supernatural abilities, concluding that the world's known extraordinary powers were far weaker than his own cultivation system.
• Xu Yang decided that Martial Maniac would spread martial arts and uphold justice while Gan Jin established a power and quietly expanded its influence.
• Xu Yang resolved to develop the two identities independently and avoid drawing too much attention or causing large-scale destruction.

Xu Yang bought medicinal herbs and seeds, then used his knowledge and cultivation to treat Luo Zhen’s Cold Poison for ten million, establishing himself as a divine doctor and securing legitimate startup capital. After arranging two more treatments, he left the Luo estate to focus on his farming plans.

• Xu Yang bought medicinal herbs and seeds at the Dragon Sea medicinal herb market, including a charred Fire Jade Lingzhi for eighty thousand.
• Luo Yun and Luo Hao offered to buy the Fire Jade Lingzhi, and Xu Yang named a price of three million before accompanying them to their family estate.
• Xu Yang explained that medicine alone would only ease Luo Zhen’s Cold Poison temporarily, then offered a complete cure for ten million.
• Xu Yang used yang energy from the Martial Scripture: Life Scroll to demonstrate that he could suppress Luo Zhen’s Cold Poison, and Luo Zhen agreed to treatment.
• Xu Yang treated Luo Zhen once, arranged two more sessions for nine days later, and left the estate after receiving payment.

After returning to Ganding Village, Xu Yang secured several mountains, plots of land, and two reservoirs for his farming plans. Months later, Lu Xuemei’s dormmates discovered that Gan Jin had become a popular streamer, and Lu Xuemei watched his transformation video.

• Xu Yang used his money and family connections to contract barren mountains, farmland, and two reservoirs in Ganding Village.
• Lu Xuemei returned to her dorm after a date with Jiang Tao, where Zhou Xiaohua and Meng Qianqian taunted her over her past relationship with Gan Jin.
