Chapter Summaries

The Martial Artist survived a Heaven’s Will tribulation and received merit, leading Yuzhao to realize that he was becoming the Lord of Calamity and Fortune.

• The Martial Artist endured the Destruction Divine Light unharmed and revealed a body displaying the power of five supreme arts.
• Golden merit descended upon the Martial Artist, and Yuzhao recognized the event as a Great Vow’s Heaven-Bestowed Merit and a sign that he would become the Lord of Calamity and Fortune.
• Yuzhao concluded that the livestream had won the hearts of countless people and given the Martial Artist the qualifications and fortune to draw Heaven’s aid.

• The White-Clad Swordsman identified Li Xuanyuan as the Martial Maniac and questioned whether he possessed the fate of Calamity and Fortune.

After the livestream revealed Xu Yang’s Nascent Soul cultivation, he prepared to counter the stronger Cave Heaven inheritors by crafting a vast number of magic items for Spirit Treasure Mecha. He spent three months refining before forging a Top-grade Spirit Treasure, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.

• Xu Yang returned to Roaring Firmament Temple and learned that his disciples had crafted more than one hundred thousand artifacts, but he judged that millions would be needed to challenge Void Returning enemies.
• Xu Yang decided to make Spirit Treasure Mecha components himself, since he could not locate and attack the Cave Heaven inheritors carrying powerful treasures.
• Xu Yang reopened his livestream and began refining First-rank magic items in the Fulong Earth Fire Furnace, astonishing viewers with his speed and skill.
• Xu Yang continued refining for three months, leaving viewers and rival cultivators anxiously waiting for him to act.
• Xu Yang shifted from mass-producing magic items to refining several high-grade spiritual items, then forged the Top-grade Spirit Treasure Sea-Suppressing Pearl.

Xu Yang completed a massive artifact array centered on the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, leaving viewers and Yuzhao guessing at its purpose. As Yuzhao prepared to challenge his online influence, Xu Yang began reducing Yanxia Mountain’s tribulation while Demonic Blessed Lands also entered the world to face their own tribulations.

• Xu Yang refined the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and tens of millions of Five Elements magical artifacts into a coffin-shaped structure, then left it suspended outside Fulong Mountain.
• Yuzhao examined the structure and suspected it was an array designed to counter powerful cultivators, but she could not determine its exact purpose.
• Yuzhao had the Gan Tian Mirror spirit study the internet so she could livestream and compete with Xu Yang’s group.
• The Gan Tian Mirror spirit alerted Yuzhao that Xu Yang had begun a livestream at Yanxia Mountain, where he was performing a rite to reduce the mountain’s heavenly tribulation.
• Yanxia Mountain Blessed Land unsealed, and its cultivators faced the Worldly Tribulation as Demonic Blessed Lands entered the world and their great cultivators risked their lives against heavenly tribulations.

Roaring Firmament Dao’s livestream revealed three powerful demonic cultivators surviving tribulations and entering the world, including Vajra Venerable Saduo, who devoured Vajra Temple after his tribulation. As the viewers worried about the threat, Martial Maniac entered the square stone coffin, transforming it into a radiant figure that stood holding up heaven.

• Yanxia Mountain’s ancestor survived his tribulation, thanked the Daoist, and vowed to protect the common people before the livestream shifted to Mount Wuxiang.
• The replay showed Vajra Venerable Saduo surviving his tribulation with a Blood Burning Pill and the Sixteen-foot Golden Body, then devouring Vajra Temple’s elders and disciples and striking the camera.
• The livestream replayed tribulations at Senluo Mountain and Lingyun Cave, revealing that the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon and the Kirin Demon had also survived as three demonic Blessed Lands entered the world.
• At Fulong Mountain, viewers worried about the three demons and called for help, while Martial Maniac strode out and leapt into the square stone coffin.
• The coffin unfolded amid golden light, revealing a radiant figure standing tall and holding up heaven.

Xu Yang revealed the Martial God Mecha formed from countless magic artifacts and tracked the wounded Vajra Venerable, Demon Monk Sattva, to a remote wilderness. He launched a surprise attack, but Sattva stopped the Dragon Spear from piercing his chest, and Xu Yang followed with a strike at his crown.

• Xu Yang emerged in golden armor made from combined magic artifacts and flew off as cultivators wondered how he could face enemies several realms above him.
• At Mount Wuxiang, Xu Yang found traces showing that the injured Vajra Venerable had plundered the land's spiritual energy to heal himself.
• Xu Yang followed Sattva's lingering aura to a remote wilderness and formed a Dragon Spear from his armor.
• Xu Yang hurled the spear at Sattva, who caught its tip between his palms despite his injuries.
• Xu Yang struck the spear with a kick, then seized it and swung it toward Sattva's crown.

Xu Yang pressed his advantage over the injured Saduo with peerless spear techniques, while observers judged the demon monk would eventually lose. As Saduo’s wounds worsened, he unleashed the Reincarnation Seal to break the deadlock.

• Saduo caught Xu Yang’s Dragon Spear with his bare hands and tried to provoke him into revealing what power or treasure he relied on.
• Xu Yang ignored the provocation and attacked with a relentless storm of spear thrusts, which Saduo met with his Vajra fists.
• Yuzhao and the Gan Tian Mirror spirit judged that Xu Yang’s martial skill surpassed Saduo’s and that the demon monk would lose if the fight continued.
• Saduo’s injuries reopened as he fought, while Xu Yang’s attacks grew stronger and forced him backward.
• Saduo retreated from the spearpoint and unleashed the Buddha-Demon divine ability, the Reincarnation Seal.

Xu Qingyang shattered Saduo’s Reincarnation Seal with Shattering the Void and left him gravely wounded. With his life at stake, Saduo unleashed his Sixteen-foot Golden Body, beginning a desperate final clash.

• Saduo used the Reincarnation Seal against the Martial Artist, but Xu Qingyang pierced and destroyed it with Shattering the Void.
• Xu Qingyang’s spear broke Saduo’s Vajra defense, pulverized his hands, and struck his chest, leaving him severely injured.
• Xu Qingyang held back and challenged Saduo to fight one more move, with victory or death at stake.
• Saduo realized he had to use the Sixteen-foot Golden Body despite the danger and cost.
• Saduo roared, his charred body burst apart, and ten thousand paths of golden light formed a Golden Body Dharma Appearance.

Xu Yang defeated Sattva by combining Law Manifests Heaven and Earth with the Seven Limits of Divine Martial Arts, then collected Sattva’s corpse and treasure as spoils. He planned to strengthen his cultivation before hunting down the hidden inheritors of the Cave Heaven Immortal Sects.

• Sattva formed the Sixteen-foot Golden Body and struck Xu Yang with the Samsara Dharma Seal, while Xu Yang expanded his mecha and used Law Manifests Heaven and Earth.
• Xu Yang pierced Sattva’s seal and Golden Body with the Seven Limits of Divine Martial Arts, killing him and destroying the Divine Martial Mecha in the aftermath.
• Xu Yang staged his exhaustion to lure hidden enemies into the open, but no one appeared, and he concluded that the Cave Heaven inheritors were keeping their distance.
• Xu Yang inspected Sattva’s corpse and Buddhist beads, finding valuable spirit items and pills that could cover the battle’s losses and support his cultivation.
• Xu Yang decided to focus on increasing his cultivation and considered using merit to reach the tribulation realm and aid his avatars’ advancement.

After Martial Maniac killed Vajra Venerable Saduo, Yuzhao recognized that his faction had become invincible among the grotto-heavens and anticipated that rivals would try to curb its influence by competing for livestream viewers and public favor. Demoness Mei'er launched a livestream to gain that support, but it was shut down, prompting Yuzhao to prepare her own livestream and setting off a wider contest among immortal sect heirs.

• Viewers and cultivators reacted to the livestreamed battle, concluding that Martial Maniac had killed a powerhouse comparable to a Fusion cultivator with an armor formation.
• Yuzhao judged that Martial Maniac and his allies were effectively invincible beneath heaven and foresaw that their rivals would try to seize public support through livestreaming.
• Demoness Mei'er livestreamed herself exterminating Heavenly Demon cultists, attracting viewers and fans while Yuzhao recognized her attempt to compete for merit and fortune.
• The livestream was banned, and the Jade Register told Demoness Mei'er that someone had shut down the broadcast and warned that her seduction art might be the problem.
• Yuzhao ordered the Gan Tian Mirror spirit to prepare a competing livestream, as Cave Heaven inheritors and immortal sect heirs began entering online livestreaming.

Bei Ming Long Teng watched a hostile ranking video that mocked his failed live-streaming career and exposed why he could not compete with the leading streamers. As the Live Broadcast Trio’s influence continued to hurt both rival cultivators and Evil God Cults, the Blood Moon Cult Master prepared a desperate ritual to seek his patron’s aid.

• A Jianghu Hundred-Knowledge Scholar ranked the leading streamers, praising Martial Maniac, Shi Jian, Li Xuanyuan, and Gan Jin before ridiculing Bei Ming Long Teng and warning viewers against his teachings.
• Bei Ming Long Teng tried to summon the Scholar in anger, but his bonded artifact spirit stopped the video and warned him that the insults were bait.
• Bei Ming Long Teng reviewed how the Trio had dominated demon-slaying, Blessed Land intervention, and teaching, while his own reputation and methods left him unable to compete.
• The Blood Moon Cult Master learned that a Joyous Union Sect demoness had destroyed another branch altar and ordered a ritual to request the Lord Above’s blessing.

Thirty years later, Fang Yuan struggled to advance as an alchemist in the Western District while the Federation’s cultivation society underwent another upheaval. After Chairman Gan Jin replaced the Federation with the Myriad Dao Academy system, Fang Yuan turned to a livestream, while Yuzhao recognized that the world’s unification would force the other secret realms to open.

• Fang Yuan sold pills at the Cultivator's Guild, exchanged the proceeds for points, and bought a Green Wood Cauldron, spirit seeds, and fertilizer on installment.
• Fang Yuan fertilized his spirit farmland and studied the Green Wood Pill, hoping to become a second-grade alchemist and earn enough points for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
• A news broadcast announced that Gan Jin had been elected Supreme Chairman and reorganized the Federation into the Myriad Dao Academy system, converting Guild Points into Academy Credits.
• Fang Yuan was shocked by the political upheaval, then opened a livestream to see what the major figures would do.
• At Tanshan Mountain, Yuzhao considered the consequences of Gan Jin’s growing power and concluded that the other Divine Systems’ secret realms would also have to be opened and dissolved.
• The Gan Tian Mirror reported to Yuzhao that he had started streaming again.

The Daoist, Li Xuanyuan, and the Martial God announced that they would open the world to conflict, and Li Xuanyuan killed Bei Ming Long Teng after the Dragon Prince fled his hiding place. Li Xuanyuan then challenged the Illusion Demon Lord’s grand array, struck him with three swords, and left him wounded as the battle continued.

• The Daoist declared that the Eastern Kingdom’s blessed lands had been cleared and that the trio would let the whole world go free, while Li Xuanyuan volunteered to deal with the remaining threats.
• Bei Ming Long Teng warned the Illusion Demon Lord that they had been discovered, then fled toward Northern Nether Cave Heaven as Li Xuanyuan waited outside the array and beheaded him with one strike.
• The Illusion Demon Lord remained inside his Illusion Demon Grand Array and prepared to defend it against Li Xuanyuan.
• Li Xuanyuan entered the array with Startled Swan, shattered its illusions, and forced the Illusion Demon Lord to reveal himself twice.
• Li Xuanyuan struck the Illusion Demon Lord with three swords, then stood outside the array as a sword mark appeared across the demon lord’s chest.

Xu Yang killed Illusion Demon Lord with three swords, then confronted Shen Xiao as he fled toward the Xuantian Sword Sect. Rather than killing Shen Xiao, Xu Yang claimed the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword and told the Xuantian Sword Sect to send a worthy successor to reclaim it.

• Illusion Demon Lord died after Xu Yang broke his array and struck him with three swords.
• Demoness Mei'er considered fleeing but hesitated after the Yin Yang Scroll's artifact spirit argued that Xu Yang had no reason to target her.
• Shen Xiao fled toward the Xuantian Sword Sect, but Xu Yang appeared in his path.
• Shen Xiao challenged Xu Yang and summoned the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword to attack.
• Xu Yang used the Xuanyuan Sacred Law to sever Shen Xiao's control of the sword, which flew into Xu Yang's Sword Casket.
• Xu Yang spared Shen Xiao and told him to have the Xuantian Sword Sect send a promising successor to reclaim the sword.

After Li Xuanyuan’s livestream exposed his suppression of Shen Xiao and the demonic cultivators, Demoness Mei'er considered joining Myriad Dao Academy as a teacher, while Yuzhao resolved to pursue her great vow. Xu Yang reviewed his gains from thirty years of unsealing Blessed Lands and defeating demonic forces, then prepared to strengthen Xuanyuan for the greater threats ahead.

• The livestream ended after Li Xuanyuan defeated Bei Ming Long Teng, seized the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword, and left Shen Xiao devastated; observers recognized that he was suppressing anyone who opposed the campaign against the demonic calamity.
• Demoness Mei'er discussed the livestream’s consequences with the Yin Yang Policy, then decided she might register at Myriad Dao Academy as a teacher to compete with Alliance Heaven Dao.
• Yuzhao accepted the dangers of fulfilling her great vow and resolved to go all out.
• Xu Yang reviewed his cultivation, the establishment of Myriad Dao Academy, and the merit from unsealing the eastern region’s Blessed Lands, which had helped Xuanyuan advance into a Low-Grade Immortal Artifact.
• Xu Yang recounted how he had defeated Illusion Demon Lord and seized five demonic Daoist Sons’ treasures, including more than twenty Immortal Artifacts and the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword.
• Xu Yang concluded that Xuanyuan needed to become a High-Grade Immortal Artifact before he could face stronger immortal powers, and looked forward to the challenges ahead while continuing his preparations.

Months after the Federation’s restructuring, Fang Yuan secured his home, bought a Foundation Establishment Pill, and examined Myriad Dao Academy’s high-tier exchanges. On Tanshan Mountain, Yuzhao resolved to earn credits after discovering the Academy’s extraordinary methods and treasures, and opened a limited-time task titled “Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan.”

• Fang Yuan checked the protective array around his manor as disorder and violence spread through the Western District, then continued his Academy logistics work and pill refining.
• Fang Yuan exchanged credits for a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and paid extra for home delivery.
• Fang Yuan saw that the Academy had listed high-tier pills and cultivation methods, and realized the offerings could draw Blessed Land cultivators into its service.
• Yuzhao examined the Academy’s supernatural techniques and questioned the source of its vast resources, while her mirror spirit urged her to earn credits.
• Yuzhao opened the task interface and saw the limited-time task “Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan.”

Yuzhao realized Myriad Dao Academy’s Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan task was a way to make Blessed Land sects bear the costs and risks of mass-producing powerful swords for the academy. As Demoness Mei’er and Shen Xiao pursued the exchange rewards for their own reasons, Shen Xiao began to suspect the sword’s listed spirit-treasure result was only an embryo.

• Yuzhao inferred that Myriad Dao Academy was recruiting Blessed Land cultivators to contract-forge Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan Swords, shifting the expense and risk of production onto them.
• Yuzhao suspected the academy was stockpiling the swords to build a weapon capable of challenging the Cave Heaven Immortal Sects, recalling how ten million dharma artifacts had powered Martial Maniac’s victory over Saduo.
• Demoness Mei’er decided she would pursue both the Invert Yin Yang cultivation method and a teaching position at Myriad Dao Academy, while the Yin Yang Policy urged her to prioritize rare exchange treasures.
• Shen Xiao discovered that his Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword was listed for rental at one hundred million academy credits per ten years and began forging Xuanyuan Swords to earn enough to use it.
• Shen Xiao examined the forging method and wondered whether the spirit-treasure-grade sword was only an embryo and what Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan truly was.

Five hundred years after the Nine Ceremonies Xuanyuan task began, Shen Xiao learned that Myriad Dao Academy would end it in ten years and change its exchange prices, threatening his ability to rent the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword. Though furious and powerless to resist the Academy’s policy, he ordered more materials to refine one last batch of swords.

• Five hundred years later, Shen Xiao returned the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword to Demoness Mei'er after another period of cultivation and sword refining.
• Demoness Mei'er complained about her long stint refining swords for Academy credits, while the Yin Yang Policy reminded her that the Nine Ceremonies Xuanyuan task was limited-time.
• Shen Xiao read Myriad Dao Academy’s announcement that the task would end in Year 520, sword purchase prices would fall, and the costs of renting immortal artifacts and exchanging for advanced techniques would rise.
• Shen Xiao realized the policy would make it harder for him to keep renting the sword, but knew he could not challenge Myriad Dao Academy or Li Xuanyuan.
• Shen Xiao ordered more sword-refining materials, intending to make one final batch of Nine Ceremonies Xuanyuan Swords before the task ended.

Yuzhao recognized that the Myriad Dao Academy’s price hikes and policy changes were preparation for a campaign against the Cave Heavens, then watched its leaders issue an ultimatum. A Cave Heaven ruler named Mighty Virtue, King Garuda, declared that his forces would return to the mortal world in one month.

• Yuzhao studied the updated exchange list and concluded that the Academy’s higher prices for Immortal Artifact rentals and high-tier techniques signaled plans to move against the Cave Heavens.
• Yuzhao entered the livestream, where cultivators debated the end of the Nine-Ceremony Xuanyuan task and the rising exchange prices.
• The Martial Artist, Daoist, and swordsman appeared together on the livestream, and two of them announced an ultimatum to the Cave Heavens, sparing those who obeyed and threatening to kill the rest.
• Mighty Virtue, King Garuda, denounced the Academy’s challenge and declared that his forces would return to the mortal world in one month.

Garuda King - Vaideha survived the Cave Heaven Tribulation and entered the mortal world, but the livestream ended before the Myriad Dao Academy made any move. After Vaideha forced his son Disha to hand over Invert Yin Yang, Disha escaped and reported him to the Myriad Dao Academy.

• Vaideha led the Garudas through the Cave Heaven Tribulation, losing most of his clan before he survived and brought the secret realm into the mortal world.
• Vaideha confronted Disha, blaming him for staying away while the clan suffered and demanding the Garuda divine artifact and the secret art Invert Yin Yang.
• Vaideha seized Disha and took him to the palace, where Disha was forced to violate his oath and surrender the secret art.
• Xinluo freed Disha from prison and demanded the secret art, but Disha escaped using Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems—Five Elements Great Escape.
• Disha went to the Myriad Dao Academy Law Enforcement General Bureau and reported Vaideha for forcing him to violate the Great Oath of Inner Demon.

Disha livestreamed a report accusing King Garuda of forcing him to surrender Academy cultivation methods, giving Myriad Dao Academy a public pretext to act against the Garudas. As viewers debated who would confront Garuda King - Vaideha, the Martial Artist summoned the War God Temple and entered it.

• Disha broadcast his report to Myriad Dao Academy, saying King Garuda had forced him to violate his Great Oath of Inner Demon and hand over his cultivation methods.
• Viewers debated whether the Academy would intervene, while Yuzhao realized the Academy had anticipated Vaideha’s actions and was using the incident to reinforce its laws and justify a campaign against the Garudas.
• Yuzhao wondered whether Myriad Dao Academy could impose its legal system on the Immortals and Gods of the released Cave Heavens.
• The Martial Artist declared that he would go, as viewers speculated about his strength and whether he could face the Three Tribulation Deity Vaideha.
• The Martial Artist shattered space, revealed the War God Temple, and entered as forty-nine stele diagrams hung within it.
