Chapter Summary: “Arrangements”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Qing begins his Body Integration Realm Great Heavenly Tribulation by directly approaching the tribulation clouds rather than waiting passively.

• Li Qing withstands the Five Elements True Lightning with his powerful body, using the Golden Saint Treasure Body and Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture to temper his flesh. His Lightning Spiritual Root prevents serious damage to his origins.
• He sends several spirit treasures—including the Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, Primordial Peerless Hammer, and Life-Extinguishing Furnace—into the lightning to temper them and strengthen their Dao patterns.
• A powerful lightning spirit, formed from Thunder Dao Laws, emerges from the tribulation clouds. Li Qing struggles to defend himself with spiritual radiance and Fiend Armor, since heavenly lightning counters his Killing Intent.
• He releases the young Thunder Roc corpse, which absorbs the lightning spirit and surrounding heavenly lightning. The corpse becomes revitalized, its wings and eyes glowing with purple lightning, though it does not truly regain consciousness.
• Just as Li Qing believes the tribulation has ended, an unexpected bolt of Chaos Lightning strikes him. The attack nearly shatters his body and floods him with Chaos aura, causing severe injuries and threatening to develop into permanent Dao injuries.
• Li Qing returns to Heaven Refining Pavilion, where the elders and Pavilion Master are shocked by his condition. The Pavilion Master gives him sacred medicine and plans to seek help from the Dao Palace and possibly a Celestial Venerable.
• While recuperating in Wuji Hall, Li Qing realizes that the unusual tribulation may be connected to his identity as the Successor of the Demon Venerable. Newly emerging memories reveal that the Demon Venerable had already arranged a method for him to remove the Chaos aura—and that following it will force him onto the path of cultivating Chaos Law.

Character Development

• Li Qing displays immense confidence in his physical strength and foundation, treating the terrifying Five Elements True Lightning as an opportunity for cultivation and treasure refinement.

• Despite his injuries, he remains analytical and resourceful, using the Thunder Roc corpse to counter the lightning spirit and protect one of his most valuable assets.
• His attitude toward his identity changes. He becomes genuinely afraid that the Demon Venerable’s memories may eventually overwhelm his own and replace his sense of self.

Significant Themes

• Li Qing and the Thunder Roc corpse: He uses the corpse as a desperate countermeasure against the lightning spirit. The corpse absorbs the spirit and gains renewed vitality, becoming even more mysterious and powerful.
• Li Qing and Heaven Refining Pavilion’s elders: The elders congratulate him on advancing but are alarmed by his horrific injuries and postpone the planned Body Integration ceremony.

  2. A gate emitting dazzling treasure light, apparently containing some extraordinary treasure.
