Chapter Summaries

Wenren Sheng accepted Hua Youcong as a student and used Great Teaching Skill to help him understand how giving up his Otherworldly User had contributed to his tragedy. He recognized that the Seed of Sorrow could bring Hua more trouble and worried that another person's tragic fate was also beginning to unfold.

• Wu Liansong and Wenren De brought the dazed Hua Youcong to the Club and asked Wenren Sheng to teach him.
• Wang Cuiyan agreed to let Wenren Sheng take Hua Youcong as a student for a year before reviewing his progress.
• Wenren Sheng told Hua Youcong that the root of his tragedy was giving up his Otherworldly User without the awareness to take responsibility for it.
• Hua Youcong accepted Wenren Sheng's guidance and resolved to recognize that he himself had held the initiative in his life.
• Wenren Sheng concluded that the Seed of Sorrow could cause Hua further trouble and decided to keep him at a distance.
• Wenren Sheng worried that another person close to him had a tragic fate that was gradually unfolding.

Wenren Sheng investigated whether the Seed of Sorrow could impose tragic fates on people around its holders and learned that no proven prevention existed. After Director An mentioned Mystery Resistance as an unverified countermeasure, Wenren Sheng decided to help Old Wu raise his skill to Grandmaster Level.

• Wenren Sheng searched for research on the Seed of Sorrow but found no treatment or prevention methods in public materials.
• Wenren Sheng asked Inspector Liu to investigate the Seed of Sorrow, and Director An explained that associated accidents were rare and no preventive measures were available.
• Director An privately told Wenren Sheng that Mystery Resistance might help counter the Seed of Sorrow, though training it was dangerous.
• Wenren Sheng realized Old Wu had trained Intermediate Mystery Resistance to resist his tragic fate.
• Wenren Sheng decided to use his Teaching Skill to help Old Wu train Mystery Resistance to Grandmaster Level.

Wenren Sheng gathered Wenren De, Wu Liansong, and Zhao Han to teach them ways to improve Mystery Resistance. Afterward, Wenren De used his restored prophecy abilities to ask how he could help his son grow stronger, and learned that staying home and taking on household chores would be useful.

• Wenren Sheng explained that Wenren De had retained Mystery Resistance after losing his Otherworldly User, then called Wu Liansong and Zhao Han together for lessons.
• Wenren De and Wu Liansong warned that Mystery Resistance was dangerous to cultivate, but Wenren Sheng used Great Teaching Skill to inspire Zhao Han to face the training.
• Wenren Sheng taught them safer methods of improving Mystery Resistance, including enduring mysterious damage and completing events recognized by the Seed of Mystery.
• Wenren De returned to his room, logged into the Shenzhou Qiankun System, and asked his prophecy program how to help Wenren Sheng grow stronger.
• The white cat told Wenren De that staying home would help, then suggested cooking and other household chores, so Wenren De went to cook.

Wenren Sheng continued teaching mysterious skills and raising his Mystery Points cap before arranging an Internal Test to measure his strength. The test showed that his abilities had surpassed Master Level by a wide margin, though Grandmaster Level remained far beyond reach, and he learned why Otherworldly Users withheld their true power until then.

• Wenren Sheng taught classes using his collection of mysterious collectibles and assigned trainees investigation homework with strict safety warnings.
• After half a month, Wenren Sheng raised his Mystery Points cap to 280 and decided to test how close his enhanced skills were to Grandmaster Level.
• Wenren Sheng asked Inspector Liu to arrange an Internal Test, and Inspector Liu selected Liao Zheng and Cheng Ning to conduct it.
• At the underground Patrol Grand Division base, Liao Zheng and Cheng Ning found that Wenren Sheng's Extraordinary Physique and Alien Power exceeded Master Level by a considerable margin.
• Wenren Sheng learned that he would need roughly sixty times his current effect to reach Grandmaster Level and that Otherworldly Users released their true power only after deep integration with hosts beyond Master Level.

Wenren Sheng planned to raise his Mystery Points and pursue Grandmaster Level by expanding his sources of collectibles and investigating dangerous zones. After learning that Wu Shanshan feared being made into the Immortal’s puppet, he encouraged her to resist and realized the Immortal’s collection could be a valuable source of points.

• Wenren Sheng left the Patrol Directorate after reflecting on the danger facing Divine Land and began planning how to gain 420 Mystery Points.
• Wenren Sheng called Wu Shanshan to ask her to find collectibles, and she directed him to seek help from his wife instead.
• Wenren Sheng told Wu Shanshan that her bond with the Immortal was deepening and that she might eventually be made into a puppet to bind him.
• Wenren Sheng used the Great Teaching Skill to urge Wu Shanshan to control her despair and resist her fate.
• Wenren Sheng dismissed Wu Shanshan’s fear of the Immortal and realized that her vast collection could help him gain Mystery Points.

Wenren Sheng used a map from Wei Yiqing to travel toward a hidden treasure site in the southwest, where he encountered a group of treasure hunters who had found clues to its opening. Their arguments over the treasure triggered a mysterious event, and Wenren Sheng prepared to let their greed fuel the unfolding trouble.

• Wu Shanshan warned Wenren Sheng not to provoke Xu Yunshuang, then agreed to help him find more collectibles.
• Wei Yiqing gave Wenren Sheng a map to several hidden sites and told him one would open in three days.
• Wenren Sheng sent the Armor Puppet ahead to Chongshan City and later followed the map into a southwestern mountain range.
• Wenren Sheng discovered seven or eight treasure hunters heading to the same site after finding clues in an ancient book.
• The treasure hunters argued over whether to smuggle the collectibles abroad, and a mysterious notice declared that the treasure chamber was opening as blood filled the cave.

Wenren Sheng used the Armor Puppet to observe the treasure hunt and discovered that the same clue had been sold to seven groups. The first group reached the lake, where they planned to wait for the entrance to appear, while the Seed of Mystery foretold bloodshed inside the cave.

• Wenren Sheng learned that multiple treasure-hunting groups had bought the same clue and secretly tracked their approach with the Armor Puppet.
• The fourth and sixth groups met, realized Master Xie had sold the clue to both, and agreed to join forces.
• On the third day, the first group reached the lake and prepared to enter the treasure site when its water receded the following evening.
• The first group's leader warned that forcing the entrance could collapse the site and ordered everyone to follow his instructions around its traps.
• Wenren Sheng recalled the Seed of Mystery's prediction that blood would fill the cave.

Wenren Sheng watched seven groups of treasure hunters gather at a mountain lake and used his Armor Puppet to demand that they register and surrender anything they found. The hunters rejected his terms, but Wenren Sheng remained determined to uphold the rules and use his strength to protect the Divine Land.

• Seven groups discovered that Old Xie had sold them the same treasure information, argued over the crowds, and drew lots to decide who would enter first.
• The groups settled on an entry order, with Half-Century Old Man selected to go first.
• The burly woman spotted Wenren Sheng’s hiding place and fired at his Armor Puppet, which emerged unharmed.
• Wenren Sheng’s Armor Puppet leaped to the lakeshore and told the treasure hunters that only those agreeing to register and surrender their finds could enter.
• Scarface Man offered the Armor Puppet a share of the treasure, but it refused, and the hunters mocked it for insisting that the finds belonged to the nation.
• Wenren Sheng reflected on the Divine Land’s self-interest and resolved that in this life he would hold a nation in check by himself.

Wenren Sheng used the Armor Puppet to make the treasure hunters sign an agreement before they entered the newly revealed Hidden Soldiers Cave. The blood-operated entrance opened, and the puppet led the first group into the dark passageway.

• Wenren Sheng had the Armor Puppet secure signatures and fingerprints from the treasure hunters after they agreed to leave the cave’s contents untouched.
• As the lake drained, the group discovered the Hidden Soldiers Cave, and Half-Century Old Man found that blood activated its stone door.
• Half-Century Old Man and Scarface Man persuaded the leaders to have the group contribute blood, and 2,000 milliliters filled the door’s sockets and opened it.
• The leaders left thirty-nine people outside to maintain the blood supply while the other thirty-nine prepared to enter.
• Scarface Man sent the Armor Puppet through first, and it walked down the dark passageway using Mysterious Power to sense its surroundings.

Wenren Sheng guided the Armor Puppet through Hidden Soldiers Cave, where a ceiling trap killed and injured several treasure hunters. The Armor Puppet rescued the survivors, and Wenren Sheng used its compassionate conduct to build trust with the Patrol Division and seek access to its Mysterious Objects.

• Wenren Sheng noticed that Hidden Soldiers Cave had been carved out of solid rock and proceeded cautiously.
• The Half-Century Old Man spotted a suspicious patch of stone, but the Scarface Man saw rows of spiked boards appear overhead.
• The treasure hunters panicked as the boards fell, and a ricochet killed one of them while others were crushed or injured.
• The Armor Puppet survived the trap and began rescuing and treating the injured treasure hunters.
• The Half-Century Old Man asked whether the group should continue, and the Armor Puppet said they should get the injured out first.
• Wenren Sheng hoped the Patrol Division would trust him and provide access to its collection of Mysterious Objects.

Wenren Sheng stopped treasure hunters from stealing valuable huanghuali boards from the Hidden Soldiers Cave and called the Patrol Division. When Scarface Man’s group threatened to destroy the site with explosives, Wenren Sheng used his Great Teaching Skill to make them repent and help protect the treasure.

• Old Ma identified the trap boards as valuable huanghuali wood, drawing treasure hunters back into the cave to take them.
• The Armor Puppet forbade anyone from taking the boards, but Scarface Man’s group accused Wenren Sheng and began carrying the wood away.
• Wenren Sheng called the Jiangnan Patrol Grand Division to report the theft, and a woman threatened to blow up the cave with a detonator.
• Wenren Sheng activated his Great Teaching Skill and sang, prompting the woman and Scarface Man to repent and discard the plan to destroy the site.
• Wenren Sheng threw Old Ma into a pool after Old Ma insulted his singing, then ordered the repentant treasure hunters to retrieve the others and help the Patrol Division excavate the cave safely.

Wenren Sheng made the treasure hunters repair the cave and care for the injured while they remained under the influence of his Teaching Skill. Yan Ze arrived, killed Old Ma, and ordered the hunters to help explore the ancient trove, while Wenren Sheng decided to cooperate and use the chance to infiltrate the Sole Supremacy Society.

• Wenren Sheng ordered the treasure hunters to clear the passages and settle the injured as they waited for the Patrol Division.
• Yan Ze appeared on the cliff and killed Old Ma with a palm strike.
• Yan Ze claimed the Jiangnan Patrol Grand Division had commissioned him to oversee the ancient trove and urged Wenren Sheng to take the treasure hunters inside.
• Wenren Sheng offered to cooperate with Yan Ze and considered infiltrating the Sole Supremacy Society to make use of its resources.
• As the Teaching Skill's effects faded, the treasure hunters asked to go home, but Wenren Sheng told them to follow Yan Ze and redeem themselves through service.

Yan Ze tried to recruit Wenren Sheng into the Sole Supremacy Society while they led the survivors through a mechanism-filled cave. As Yan Ze explained the Society’s radical plan to control resources and rule both worlds, Wenren Sheng recognized its ambition and considered how it might succeed.

• Yan Ze and Wenren Sheng agreed to lead the group through the cave, with Yan Ze at the front and Wenren Sheng guarding the rear.
• Scarface Man told Yan Ze that the spiked board was made of valuable huanghuali wood, and Yan Ze considered how to claim the cave’s treasures.
• Yan Ze asked Wenren Sheng’s name, and Wenren Sheng gave the false name Tang Jia.
• Yan Ze told Tang Jia that the Patrol Division allowed experts to keep ten percent of recovered treasure, then changed his approach when Tang Jia praised the rule.
• Yan Ze tried again to recruit Tang Jia, describing how the Sole Supremacy Society aimed to control the world’s resources and expand into both worlds.
• Wenren Sheng listened and judged that the Society’s extreme plan might be feasible, though its chances of success were low.

Wenren Sheng and Yan Ze crossed a passage filled with lavish traps made from silver, gold, and other costly materials. Yan Ze decided to abandon the treasure chamber and recruit Wenren Sheng for a more profitable venture as they neared the passage’s end.

• Wenren Sheng realized Yan Ze had likely killed Old Ma to steal valuable trap components, but he continued onward with him.
• A massive silver ball rolled down the passage, and Wenren Sheng used his Armor Puppet to stop it while Yan Ze damaged its shape.
• After they encountered a trap that poured gold-dissolving Aqua Regia, Wenren Sheng used the Great Teaching Skill to persuade Yan Ze that modern weapons offered greater profits.
• Yan Ze revealed that the Sole Supremacy Society had stolen an American submarine and earned hundreds of millions, then invited Wenren Sheng to join future jobs against outsiders.
• Yan Ze chose to give up the treasure chamber and moved faster through traps involving boiling water and poison gas as the pair approached the passage’s end.

Wenren Sheng and Yan Ze searched the treasure chamber and found a bloodthirsty golden shuttle hidden among the corpses. A silver shuttle then impaled Yan Ze, leaving Wenren Sheng to pull it out and attempt to treat him.

• Wenren Sheng found that the treasure chamber’s weapons held no mysterious value, while Yan Ze took golden armor and a blade.
• After they discovered three more Secret Chambers and returned toward the entrance, they found blood on the passage floor and the treasure seekers dead.
• Wenren Sheng triggered a golden shuttle hidden beneath a corpse, and the Armor Puppet caught it; Wenren Sheng recognized it as a dangerous disaster artifact and claimed it.
• A silver shuttle burst through the stone wall and struck Yan Ze in the chest, but he offered the Gold Silver Twin Shuttles to Wenren Sheng in exchange for help.
• Wenren Sheng pulled out the silver shuttle and used Alien Power to stop Yan Ze’s bleeding, but Yan Ze fainted as Wenren Sheng prepared to practice Mysterious Healing Art.

Wenren Sheng used the Mysterious Healing Art to repair Yan Ze’s heart, lungs, and chest wounds, then restarted his heart with simulated electrical impulses. While Yan Ze’s alien entity examined his restored body, Wenren Sheng discovered the man had faked part of his vulnerability to test him.

• Wenren Sheng cleaned Yan Ze’s wound and used Alien Power to repair his badly damaged heart and lung tissue.
• Wenren Sheng found that Yan Ze’s heart would not beat, searched online for medical guidance, and stimulated it with electrical impulses until it resumed beating.
• Yan Ze’s alien entity examined his body, allowing Wenren Sheng to sense Yan Ze’s abilities and Mystery Points.
• Wenren Sheng saw that Yan Ze had Advanced Reconnaissance Skill and realized Yan Ze had partly acted vulnerable to test his reliability.
• Wenren Sheng had the Armor Puppet stand guard and maintained that he had always been an honest man.

Wenren Sheng escaped the bloody treasure chamber with Yan Ze and gained the Gold Silver Twin Shuttle, then agreed to join Wu Shanshan on a trip to the East Ocean Graveyard. He decided to bring everyone along for training, and Zhao Han’s alarming prophecy about the graveyard turned out to be a trick from her Alien Species.

• Wenren Sheng and Yan Ze opened the stone door by using the Gold Silver Twin Shuttle to drain the blood, completing the treasure chamber mystery and earning Wenren Sheng two Mystery Points.
• Wenren Sheng and Yan Ze parted ways at dawn, and Yan Ze called for someone to take possession of the newly born evil disaster artifacts.
• Several days later, Wenren Sheng told Wu Shanshan about keeping his Armor Puppet confidential, and she invited him to train with her at an ocean graveyard in the eastern ocean.
• Wenren Sheng agreed to go with Wu Shanshan and proposed bringing everyone along so they could train together.
• At breakfast, Wenren Sheng announced a group trip to the East Ocean Graveyard, and Zhao Han’s prophecy warned them not to go before her Alien Species revealed it had tricked her.

Wenren Sheng connected Zhao Han’s prophecy about the Great Ocean Graveyard to the unfinished Hand in the Well incident, then decided his family would travel there to gain skills despite the danger. He persuaded Wei Yiqing to join them as protection, and she agreed after he promised to make an island for her.

• Zhao Han prophesied that a terrifying truth lay behind the Great Ocean Graveyard and that a drama was about to reach its climax, reminding Wenren Sheng of the unfinished Mysterious Hand incidents.
• Wenren De returned from a divination and predicted that the Graveyard offered great cultivation opportunities, provided everyone returned safely.
• Wenren Sheng decided the whole family would go, ordered everyone to follow his commands, and reassured Zhao Han about her college entrance examination.
• Wenren Sheng visited Wei Yiqing and persuaded her to come by promising a comfortable private flight and a temporary island.
• Wei Yiqing agreed to join Wenren Sheng so she could see how he would make an island.

Wenren Sheng and his companions traveled by private jet, sharing rooms and passing the flight in conversation and games. Wenren Sheng left Wu Shanshan behind with Illusion Art and went to the cockpit, while Wu Shanshan later challenged Wei Yiqing to cards and lost despite Wei Yiqing’s powerful hand.

• Wenren Sheng chartered a luxurious private jet, and the nine travelers boarded and paired off into rooms, leaving Wei Yiqing alone.
• Wu Liansong and Li Shuangyue discussed their hometowns, economic conditions, and international trade.
• Wenren Sheng pretended to sleep, then used Illusion Art to disappear when Wu Shanshan poked him.
• Wenren Sheng went to the cockpit and spoke with pilot Kevin about his flight experience and why he had moved to Divine Land.
• Wu Shanshan entered Wei Yiqing’s room and challenged her to Fight the Landlord, but Wei Yiqing lost despite holding an exceptionally strong hand.

Wenren Sheng learned to fly during the trip, then discovered the Black Phoenix had followed the plane and disrupted his attempt to beat Wei Yiqing at cards. The journey continued with Wenren Sheng recognizing how far he still had to go compared with the Immortal.

• Kevin flew the plane smoothly while Wenren Sheng learned the basic controls.
• Wenren Sheng spotted the Black Phoenix flying beside the plane and went to ask Wu Shanshan to call it back.
• Wenren Sheng joined Wu Shanshan and Wei Yiqing in Fight the Landlord, but lost repeatedly despite using Mystery Resistance.
• Wenren Sheng used Mystic Illusion Art to turn his last card into a Big Joker, but the Black Phoenix's power made it appear as a little chicken.
• Wu Shanshan recalled the Black Phoenix, and Wenren Sheng flicked it on the head while realizing it behaved meekly in Wei Yiqing's presence.
