Chapter Summaries

Li Qingyun and the Empress of Burial expanded the Primordial Beginning Cosmic Domain before its foundation ran out, then established three great cosmoses to secure the human race’s place. After entrusting Primordial Beginning’s future to its saints, Li Qingyun left with the Empress of Burial and prepared to cross beyond the boundary.

• Li Qingyun and the Empress of Burial continued opening the cosmic domain after A'li, Cheng Tangyin, Li Zuo, Houtu, and Zhu Yuyan exhausted their strength, but they eventually stopped when the chaos ancestral Qi ran out.
• Li Qingyun placed the Jade Pure, Upper Pure, and Grand Pure great cosmoses at the center of the new world, using his Native Human Race Great Cosmos to preserve humanity’s standing.
• Li Qingyun told the human saints to suppress false Buddhas and bizarre calamities and prevent Primordial Beginning from falling into twisted corruption, then announced that he would leave with Zang and Quan Lei.
• At the boundary of the Primordial Beginning runes, Li Qingyun prepared to pass through first, while the Empress of Burial and a dark Dao Venerable with three heads and eight arms stood nearby.

Li Qingyun crossed the rune boundary into the Netherworld Void and followed the Extreme Ice Supreme Being’s star map toward Falling Star Dock, enduring the void’s erosion. After crossing several Great Universes, he encountered Ye Chenji, who had just emerged from another boundary.

• Li Qingyun used the Eternal Universe Great Drift Method to stabilize himself in the Netherworld Void after the boundary sent him drifting uncontrollably.
• The Empress of Burial emerged from the Primordial Beginning boundary and told Li Qingyun they should travel separately and meet at Falling Star Dock.
• Li Qingyun consulted the Extreme Ice Supreme Being’s star map and set off toward Falling Star Dock, a surviving platform formed from the remains of a fallen divine object.

• Ye Chenji emerged from the nearby Great Universe, stabilized himself, and greeted Li Qingyun from afar.

Li Qingyun met Ye Chenji in the Netherworld Void, agreed to travel with him, and learned that many Cosmic Domains had already been corrupted by Twisted Foul Origin Substance. They reached Falling Star Dock and realized they had not yet crossed even half of the First Sequence Ring Chain.

• Li Qingyun met Ye Chenji, who offered three Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures for Eternal Life Pills, and Li Qingyun proposed refining pills if Ye Chenji found the necessary ingredients.

• Li Qingyun recognized Falling Star Dock from Ice Supreme's star map, and the two realized they had not yet crossed half of the First Sequence Ring Chain.

Li Qingyun reached Falling Star Dock, where he learned that Eternal Clan descendants were hunting Saints who crossed the Netherworld Void. After hearing how Peng Mo had been betrayed and separated from Lu Ya, Li Qingyun resolved to oppose the Eternal Clan and began recovering.

• Li Qingyun and Ye Chenji arrived at Falling Star Dock, a vast bone ground that shielded travelers from much of the Netherworld Void's dissolving power.
• The Saints gathered at Falling Star Dock were astonished by Li Qingyun's nearly complete Eternal Body, and he recognized Peng Mo among them.
• Peng Mo told Li Qingyun that Eternal Clan descendants had hunted him and Lu Ya, and that other Saints had abandoned him to escape.
• Peng Mo said Lu Ya had likely fled into the Second Sequence Ring Chain, while he had remained behind with a damaged breastbone.
• Li Qingyun learned that the Eternal Clan considered independent Saint travelers stowaways and vowed not to let them be hunted and humiliated.
• Li Qingyun sat down to recover while Peng Mo stayed beside him and used their apparent friendship to borrow his prestige.

Li Qingyun learned from Ku Ming that Crimson Ying Grass might still grow in the Second Sequence Ring Chain and agreed to travel with him. After four injured Saints fled to Falling Star Dock, Li Qingyun sensed Eternal Clan disciples behind them and set out with his companions, leaving Saint Hongyun to insist that the danger had been shaken off.

• Ye Chenji failed to obtain Crimson Ying Grass while asking the Saints at Falling Star Dock for Eternal Life Pill materials.
• Ku Ming told Li Qingyun that Crimson Ying Grass might still grow in the Second Sequence Ring Chain, and Li Qingyun invited Ku Ming to travel with him and Ye Chenji.

• Li Qingyun called Ye Chenji, Ku Ming, and others to leave with him, and Saint Hongyun claimed that the four Saints had shaken off their pursuers.

Li Qingyun led Ye Chenji, Ku Ming, and Peng Mo away from Falling Star Dock, narrowly avoiding an attack by the Eternal Clan that devastated the saints who stayed behind. As Saint Hongyun fled toward them with pursuers in tow, Li Qingyun slowed to keep Peng Mo with the group and considered fighting the three attackers to seize their star shuttle.

• Li Qingyun and his three companions left Falling Star Dock while the remaining saints formed a defensive array under Saint Hongyun.
• Three Eternal Creation star shuttles carrying more than ten Eternal Clan figures attacked Falling Star Dock, and only a few saints escaped.

• Li Qingyun slowed down for Peng Mo despite Ye Chenji urging him to abandon the weaker companion.
• Li Qingyun considered killing the three Eternal Clan pursuers and taking their star shuttle.

Li Qingyun stayed with Peng Mo as the Eternal Clan youths caught up, while Ye Chenji and Ku Ming fled and Hongyun abandoned them to save themself. Li Qingyun confronted the pursuers, but Peng Mo dodged behind him and was captured as the chapter ended with Li Qingyun facing the attackers.

• Li Qingyun refused to abandon Peng Mo, so Ye Chenji and Ku Ming accelerated away on their own.
• Hongyun broke past Li Qingyun and Peng Mo, leaving them to face the Eternal Clan youths pursuing them.

• The leading youth split Li Qingyun and Peng Mo's Dao Domains with an Eternal Light sword, while the other two youths attacked Peng Mo.
• Peng Mo dodged behind Li Qingyun, then lost their protective Dao light and was trapped in the girl's birdcage-shaped creation.

Li Qingyun and his Turbid Dao clone ambushed the Eternal Clan youths, turning the battle around after Peng Mo was killed. Li Qingyun counterkilled Yin Rong using the Myriad Universe Eternal Secret Art, while the two surviving youths fled to report the threat.

• Peng Mo's soul was drained by the crystal cage, killing him, and the leading Eternal Clan youth shattered Li Qingyun's Heavenly Bead with a sword strike.

• Li Qingyun grabbed Yin Rong and used the Myriad Universe Eternal Secret Art to crush his skull, killing him.
• Li Quanlei blasted the two remaining youths from the star skiff, and they fled into the nothingness to report the turbid demon and Li Qingyun.
• An Eternal Light sword qi wounded Li Quanlei's eight arms as he tried to pursue the fleeing youths, but his wounds quickly healed.

Li Qingyun and his Turbid Dao clone fought the two Eternal Clan youths in the nether-nothingness while he tried to take control of their star-skiff. After the Eternal youth destroyed Li Qingyun’s Heavenly Bead, Li Qingyun’s Chaos Green Lotus Divine Fire badly wounded him, and the clone continued overwhelming the injured girl.

• Li Qingyun activated the star-skiff with eternal crystals but could not pilot it, so he left to pursue the two Eternal Clan youths.
• Li Qingyun and his Turbid Dao clone caught up with the youths and dodged attacks from the crystal sword and birdcage artifact.
• Li Qingyun and his clone focused their assault on the girl, wounding her and forcing her to defend herself with Eternal runes.

• The Turbid Dao clone struck the injured girl repeatedly with its eight arms.

Li Qingyun killed Xue'er, but her dying attack nearly took one of his Turbid Dao clone’s heads before Haotian summoned the illusory shadow of a Hao Clan Supreme Being. Gravely wounded, Li Qingyun escaped aboard the star skiff after using Xue'er’s blood to activate it.

• Xue'er died after striking Li Qingyun’s Turbid Dao clone with a near-fatal counterattack, and Haotian swore revenge.
• Haotian awakened the power of a Hao Clan Supreme Being, whose illusory shadow shattered Li Qingyun’s barriers and battered him and the clone.
• The Supreme Being’s pressure healed Haotian’s wounds, while Li Qingyun retreated with Xue'er’s headless corpse and decided to flee.
• Li Qingyun poured crystalline true blood from the corpse over the star skiff’s control runes and successfully activated it.
• Li Qingyun drove the star skiff away as another pressure halo pursued him.

Li Qingyun escaped the Hao Clan Supreme Being’s reach and refined two young Eternal Clan corpses, discovering a super star map among their remains. He identified the Eternal Clan’s central domains and planned to find Crimson Ying Grass before attempting to infiltrate them.

• Li Qingyun and his Turbid Dao clone fled in the star skiff as the Hao Clan Supreme Being’s illusory shadow failed to pursue them far.
• Li Qingyun examined the two Eternal Clan bodies and burned them with Chaos Green Lotus Divine Fire, refining them into Eternal Spiritual Energy.
• Three items emerged from the remains: two crystal secret boxes and a nebula-like star map.
• Li Qingyun studied the super star map and found the Eternal Clan’s central Cosmos Star, along with marked domains such as the Secret Medicine Domain and Secret Artifact Domain.
• Li Qingyun decided to locate cosmic domains where Crimson Ying Grass grew so he could replace his Eternal Life Blood and conceal his Great Dao Qi Flow before infiltrating the Eternal Clan.

Li Qingyun opened two Eternal secret boxes, gained valuable resources and a manual on Eternal Creation, and traveled toward a Great Universe marked on Yin Rong’s star map. He encountered three stowaways, while Saint Hongyun falsely told Ye Chenji that Li Qingyun had been killed.

• Li Qingyun deciphered the runes on the first secret box and found Eternal Clan bone medicines, Eternal Crystals, rare materials, and an introductory manual on Eternal Creation.
• Li Qingyun opened the second box, collected more Soul Liquid, bone medicines, and Eternal Crystals, then set his star skiff toward Yin Rong’s younger cousin’s Great Universe.
• Li Qingyun refined Eternal Crystals and recovered as his star skiff approached three red marks on its warning sphere.
• Saint Hongyun reunited with Ye Chenji and Ku Ming after escaping, and competed with Ye Chenji to lead their temporary group.
• Saint Hongyun claimed that Li Qingyun had been killed by an Eternal Clan youth while saving Peng Mo, concealing his own role in diverting the danger.

Li Qingyun crossed into the second sequence ring chain aboard the captured star-skiff, while Hongyun, Ye Chenji, and Ku Ming’s newly reunited team fell apart under pursuit by Eternal Clan disciples. Ku Ming was captured and killed, Ye Chenji was chased, and Hongyun escaped alone.

• Hongyun convinced Ye Chenji and Ku Ming to hide rather than attempt a breakthrough, and the trio fled when they mistook Li Qingyun’s star-skiff for an enemy vessel.
• Li Qingyun passed the fleeing trio aboard the star-skiff and continued toward Yin Rong’s cousin’s fief.
• Ye Chenji and Ku Ming agreed to let Hongyun lead them, but they soon collided with another Eternal Clan star-skiff carrying four disciples.
• The light-golden-haired Eternal Clan girl ordered her companions to pursue the supposed stowaways, and Hongyun and Ye Chenji abandoned Ku Ming as the star-skiff attacked him.
• The Eternal Clan disciples captured Ku Ming’s skull and extracted his divine soul, then pursued Ye Chenji while Hongyun escaped.
• Li Qingyun crossed into the second sequence ring chain, where his Eternal Body let him pass nearby Eternal Clan disciples without arousing suspicion.

Li Qingyun traveled through the Second Sequence Ring Chain and found its Great Universes repeatedly harvested by the Eternal Clan, while his star skiff consumed his Eternal Crystals. Realizing his unfamiliar appearance and Great Dao aura could expose him, he stopped to hide his aura, but an Eternal Clan squad approached and he provoked its members.

• Li Qingyun inspected the Second Sequence Ring Chain and found its Great Universes depleted by repeated Heaven Openings and Twisted Origin Substance.
• Li Qingyun replaced the star skiff’s exhausted Eternal Crystals, then noticed Eternal Clan descendants were patrolling the region and intercepting travelers.
• Li Qingyun sensed danger, retreated to a remote stretch of the Netherworld Void, and tried unsuccessfully to conceal his Great Dao aura.
• Li Qingyun deduced that a concealment formation would require thirty-six Eternal Crystals, which he did not have.
• Five Eternal Clan youths approached Li Qingyun and questioned him, and he insulted them until they grew angry and prepared to fight.

Li Qingyun avoided a confrontation with five Eternal Clan youths and entered the Yongkang Great Universe to hide while he worked on improving his Dao Sealing Array. He settled in as the local saints welcomed him as an Eternal Clan envoy, while his Turbid Dao clone went to absorb the universe’s turbid qi.

• Li Qingyun mocked the five Eternal Clan youths, distracting them long enough for his Turbid Dao clone to approach and rejoin him.
• Li Qingyun learned that the Three Tremors Pure Spring Potion could greatly increase Beyond Tribulation Realm cultivation, then decided to stop wandering and hide in a twisted Great Universe.
• Li Qingyun entered the newly opened Yongkang Great Universe and met its three saints, Qing'e, Shanlu, and Lüzhuo, who mistook him for an Eternal Clan envoy.
• Li Qingyun told the saints he was only resting, settled aboard his star skiff, and began refining his Dao Sealing Array while his Turbid Dao clone absorbed the local turbid qi.
• Qing'e periodically visited Li Qingyun and hinted that she would serve him in exchange for an Eternal Crystal.

Li Qingyun waited for a chance to obtain Eternal Crystals, then captured Shang Zhen after discovering the elder was an easy target. He left Qing'e, Shanlu, and Lüzhuo stunned as he found sixteen crystals in Shang Zhen’s case.

• Three years later, Li Qingyun improved the Dao Sealing Array but could not reduce its cost below twenty-eight Eternal Crystals.
• Shang Zhen entered the Yongkang Great Universe and demanded that Qing'e, Shanlu, and Lüzhuo pay their respects.

• Li Qingyun used his Eternal Saber Artifact to cut Shang Zhen into three pieces, then suppressed and sealed him.
• Li Qingyun took Shang Zhen’s crystal case and found sixteen Eternal Crystals inside, while Qing'e condemned Shang Zhen for withholding them from her.

Li Qingyun erased the Three Saints of Qing'e’s memories after giving them Ganges River Sand, then forced Shang Zhen to teach him Eternal Runes. After half a month, Shang Zhen ran out of the limited runes he could remember, while Li Qingyun suspected his own talent had no such limit.

• Li Qingyun gave Qing'e, Shanlu, and Lüzhuo Ganges River Sand and had them erase their memories of the encounter.
• Li Qingyun sent the Three Saints of Qing'e back to their Dao palaces and demanded that Shang Zhen teach him to read Eternal Runes.
• Shang Zhen tried to misread a rune, so Li Qingyun slapped him and tested his honesty with runes he already knew.
• Li Qingyun caught Shang Zhen deliberately giving a false meaning and shaved off one of his ears, forcing him to continue teaching sincerely.
• After half a month, Shang Zhen could not recognize another rune and explained that his limited talent let him remember only a fixed number.
• Li Qingyun realized he had exhausted Shang Zhen’s knowledge and wondered whether his own comprehension surpassed the Eternal Clan member’s.

Li Qingyun spared Shang Zhen after learning about the Eternal Clan’s hierarchy and its fear of stowaways, then left the Yongkang Great Universe. As he traveled through the Netherworld Void, he considered the clan’s bloodline-based ranks and the conditions under which stowaways could gain refugee status.

• Li Qingyun inferred that the Eternal Clan’s pursuit of stowaways might be driven by a desire to harvest their wisdom and by fear of their potential.
• Li Qingyun released Shang Zhen after requiring him to erase his memories, and Shang Zhen sacrificed part of his divine soul to do so before departing.
• Li Qingyun concealed his Great Dao aura with the Myriad Universe Eternal Secret Art, bid farewell to the three saints of Qing'e, and flew away on his star raft.
• Li Qingyun left his Turbid Dao clone in the Yongkang Great Universe to absorb its remaining primordial turbid Qi.

• Li Qingyun learned that stowaways who broke through nineteen sequence chains and reached the Cosmic Dwarf Star could gain refugee status, though they would face dangerous and degrading labor.

Li Qingyun used what he had learned from Shang Zhen to plan his infiltration of the Eternal Clan and headed toward the Cosmic Dwarf Star. When Xi Yang’s team intercepted him, Li Qingyun posed as Shang Yun, a lowborn collateral relative, and left after defeating two youths without revealing his full strength.

• Li Qingyun decided to cross the nineteen sequence ring chains and settle on the Cosmic Dwarf Star to learn about smuggler refugees and seek contact with the Extreme Ice Supreme Being.
• After replenishing his star skiff’s energy, Li Qingyun was intercepted by Xi Yang and two companions, who questioned his identity and ordered him to undergo an inspection.
• Li Qingyun introduced himself as Shang Yun, a late-returning commoner, and concealed his true background beneath a show of humility and restrained sharpness.
• Mian and Ba struck Li Qingyun with minor-attainment secret qi, but he repelled them with two fingers and pretended his strength came from imperfect training.
• Xi Yang warned Li Qingyun to respect rank and station, and Li Qingyun departed while Xi Yang secretly resolved to suppress him after the trial.

Li Qingyun crossed the Second Sequence Ring Chain blockade and reached Funiu Dock, a bustling market and playground on the Third Sequence Ring Chain. After discovering that Eternal Clan youths tortured smugglers and cosmic saints for amusement, he moved on to ask a vendor about selling bone medicine and soul liquid.

• Li Qingyun passed the Second Sequence Ring Chain blockade despite the scrutiny of an Eternal Supreme Being and continued toward the Third Sequence Ring Chain.
