Chapter Summaries

Three thousand years after the battle at Hehe Mountain, Bai Yuan arrived at Myriad Dao City as the Myriad Dao Convention drew powerful factions amid growing turmoil across the Divine Continent. While learning about the Academy’s prosperity and preparations, he witnessed a blood-red eclipse that threw the region into panic.

• Bai Yuan traveled through the Academy’s vast Dao Domain and heard that calamity cultivators were attacking powerful factions as the great calamity approached.
• Bai Yuan reached Myriad Dao City and learned from an eatery’s waiter that Bamboo Immortal and the other Four Gentlemen had settled in the Academy’s protected territory.
• The waiter described the city’s businesses, secret realms, and new mechas set to appear at the Myriad Dao Convention.
• Bai Yuan and the people in the bamboo grove saw a scarlet streak spread across the sun, triggering panic as cultivators and immortals rose into the sky.

Xu Yang dismissed the Blood Sun as unlikely to signal the Dark Turmoil and held the Myriad Dao Convention on schedule amid rising prices and panic. Beneath Five Elements Mountain, the Heaven-Piercing Great Sage’s Old Ancestor returned from the upper realm to reclaim the ape clan’s lost standing, but their plans were interrupted when Xu Yang appeared behind them.

• Xu Yang ordered the Myriad Dao Academy to continue its preparations, raise prices by thirty percent, and hold the Myriad Dao Convention as scheduled.
• Xu Yang judged that the Blood Sun was probably unrelated to the Dark Turmoil, while panic drove buyers across Myriad Dao City and the Dao Domain to compete fiercely at the convention.
• The Heaven-Piercing Great Sage remained beneath Five Elements Mountain three thousand years after his suppression, despite the Academy having restored his freedom.
• The Gray-Clothed Old Ape returned from the upper realm, scolded the Heaven-Piercing Great Sage, and promised to restore the Vast-Armed Ape Clan and Demon Race with help from other descending demon gods and a demon sage.
• The Heaven-Piercing Great Sage warned that Xu Yang was too powerful to confront rashly, and the Gray-Clothed Old Ape turned to find Xu Yang standing behind him.

Xu Yang subdued the Gray-Clothed Old Ape and searched his soul, learning why the Upper Realm had sent immortals to the lower realm and that they planned to capture him. After weighing the coming threat, Xu Yang released the ape again and asked whether he wanted his restriction removed and his freedom restored.

• Xu Yang captured the Gray-Clothed Old Ape in his sleeve, while the Heaven-Piercing Great Sage returned beneath Five Elements Mountain and sealed himself inside his cave.
• Xu Yang immobilized the old ape, explained that his Universe in Sleeve could restrain even True Immortals, and demanded to know whether the ape had come from the Upper Realm.
• The Gray-Clothed Old Ape confirmed that the Blood Sun Celestial Phenomenon had been caused by the Upper Realm reconnecting with the lower realm, and Xu Yang searched his soul for answers.
• Xu Yang learned that the Upper Realm controlled ascended cultivators because its great lineages feared a fallen Heavenly Immortal Dao Master, and that the descending immortals had orders to find the demon star, destroy Myriad Dao Academy, and capture Xu Yang alive.
• After realizing that more True Immortals and possibly Earth Immortal Demon Sages would come for him, Xu Yang released the Gray-Clothed Old Ape and asked whether he wanted his restriction removed and his freedom restored.

Xu Yang began examining the old ape’s restrictions, then sensed something unexpected as an army of Extreme Dao Yin soldiers ravaged You Su State. After most of the state fell, You Su Yu learned that the Heavenly Maiden was coming with reinforcements.

• The old ape remained silent about regaining his freedom until Xu Yang offered to study the restrictions, and he then cooperated with Xu Yang’s examination.

• A Void Immortal reported that the Heavenly Maiden was bringing powerful reinforcements and urged the clan to hold on.

• A messenger reported that You You was coming from the Eastern Emperor Clan and promised the danger would be resolved, though he knew no details of her aid.
• You Su Yu ordered the You Su Clan to prepare for battle when sentries warned that the Yin soldiers had arrived.

• The Yin soldiers broke through the Xuan Ling Grand Array with a black ge-halberd and flooded into You Su City.
• A desiccated hand emerged from the darkness and pointed at You Su Yu, but blazing sword light shattered the void.

Xu Yang and the You Su Clan fought back the nether army and confronted the terrifying figure behind it, revealed to be the headless corpse of an Ancient Great Emperor. As everyone recoiled in fear at what the corpse implied, Xu Yang raised his Sacred Sword to continue the battle.

• A clash between Xu Yang’s sword light and the gaunt blue-black hand injured the hand and spilled a drop of blood that turned the Blessed Land into dead soil.
• Meng Fanyin, You Su You, Donghuang Haoyue, Lu Chenyuan, and the Academy cultivators arrived, and You Su You urged You Su Yu to focus on the enemy.
• You Su Yu and the Academy forces joined the defense, while Lu Chenyuan wielded the Void Mirror to destroy the nether soldiers’ Ultimate Dao weapons and break their advance.
• Xu Yang sent his Sacred Sword into the enemy ranks, revealing a tall figure that met the sword with its gaunt hand and clashed with it.
• The Sacred Sword exposed the figure as a headless Emperor Corpse, and the immortals recognized it as the corpse of an Ancient Great Emperor.
• While the others feared the truth behind the Dark Turmoil, Xu Yang raised his Sacred Sword to fight the Emperor Corpse.

Xu Yang defeated the headless Emperor Corpse and drove the underworld army back into the abyss, then sealed the breach before entering You Su Capital with the academy cultivators. You Su Yu thanked him as Dao Lord and invited him inside, while You Su You hurried after the group with Meng Fanyin and Xin Shisiniang teasing her.

• Xu Yang’s sacred sword overcame the Emperor Corpse’s reincarnation power, and You Su Yu explained that he had not attained the Dao because he pursued an immensely vast path encompassing all laws.
• Xu Yang gained the advantage in the battle and wounded the Emperor Corpse, whose forces began retreating into a newly opened abyss.

• You Su Yu invited Xu Yang and the academy cultivators into You Su Capital, and You Su You hurried after them as Meng Fanyin and Xin Shisiniang looked at her teasingly.

After Xu Yang saved the You Su Clan, he offered to shelter them in his Dao Domain, and You Su Yu pledged the clan to Myriad Dao Academy. The clan began preparing to relocate, while You Su Yu privately revealed her interest in Xu Yang and You Su You resolved to stop her from pursuing him.

• You Su You said Xu Yang already had Dao Companions, but You Su Yu argued that pursuing him could help the clan and the Academy.
• You Su You decided to warn Xu Yang's Dao Companions and keep them from giving You Su Yu an opening.

Xu Yang examined the Headless Emperor Corpse to assess the hidden force behind the Dark Turmoil and concluded that it remained a grave long-term threat. Seeking the opportunity to break through his cultivation bottleneck, he chose to focus on the Profound Yellow Realm’s nearing war between the Tongtian Tower and the Myriad Demon Abyss.

• Xu Yang returned to Myriad Dao Academy after relocating the You Su Clan to the Dao Domain and continued preparing the academy for the spreading turmoil.
• Xu Yang studied the Headless Emperor Corpse, discovered that its living-seeking hair had been refined, and inferred that the hidden Heavenly Immortal Dao Master was behind its condition and the Dark Turmoil.
• Xu Yang judged that the Heavenly Immortal Dao Master had likely been severely weakened, but warned himself that the enemy might have recovered and that the turmoil’s horrors could still threaten the Dao Domain.
• Xu Yang concluded that the Ancient Great Emperors who remained in the Divine Continent had either fallen to the hidden force or gone into hiding, leaving him unable to rely on them.
• Xu Yang resolved to pursue the supreme Emperor Realm by bringing his myriad Dao arts to Mastery Through Comprehension, and identified the Profound Yellow Realm’s approaching war as his best chance to find a breakthrough.

As war loomed, Xu Yang auctioned Myriad Dao Academy products and Myriad Dao Heavenly Talismans to expand his civilization’s influence. Back in the Profound Yellow Realm, he spent vast resources to break through to the ninth-rank Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Method, and the resulting upheaval sent the Five Elements Immortal Venerable and Lawful Heavenly Punishment flying toward the Myriad Dao Heavenly Palace.
