Chapter Summaries

Saint Lord Bai Ye concluded that Saint Lord Cang Ming had died to an enemy with unknown abilities and chose to postpone revenge, while Ji An and his companions traveled to the Mist Sea Archipelago to search for rare water resources. The chapter ended as the group entered the mist-covered waters at night to investigate their currents, wary of the Thunder Sea Pythons and Sea Elephant Men.

• Saint Lord Bai Ye told Saint Lord Wan Shi that Saint Lord Cang Ming had perished and that an enemy had destroyed three of her demonic souls, so they decided to prioritize searching for resources over seeking revenge.
• Yun Miao Sanren and Xuan Shuang Sanren directed Ji An's group south toward the Mist Sea Archipelago to search for Three Yuan Heavy Water and other resources carried by converging currents.
• Ji An's group rested on an island, grilled fish, and then found several drops of Fifth-Tier Low-Grade Essence of Ren Water on the seabed.
• After ten days of flight, Ji An's group reached the Mist Sea Archipelago and learned that Thunder Sea Pythons and Sea Elephant Men threatened the region.
• As night fell, Yun Miao Sanren led the group into the misty sea, instructing everyone to stay close together and keep their footing against the undercurrents.

Ji An and the other cultivators descended into the deep sea, where they found valuable Three Yuan Heavy Water before a near-Perfection Sea Elephant Man ambushed them. Ji An seized and sealed the creature’s tusk treasures, helping the group kill it, though he was badly injured.

• Ji An and the group descended past eight thousand zhang, fending off Thunder Sea Python ambushes and collecting valuable materials.
• The group discovered Fifth-Tier High-Grade Three Yuan Heavy Water, which delighted Yun Miao Sanren, Xuan Shuang Sanren, and Ji An.
• A Sea Elephant Man ambushed Ji An with his great tusks, but Ji An trapped them with Solidify Gold Art and held on despite severe lightning burns.
• Yun Miao Sanren, Que Yue Sanren, and Xuan Shuang Sanren attacked the Sea Elephant Man while Ji An sealed and stored his tusk treasures.
• Ji An unleashed Yin and Yang Divine Thunder, and the group disrupted the currents to prevent the Sea Elephant Man from escaping, killing him.
• Yun Miao Sanren credited Ji An with the greatest contribution, and Ji An modestly said the victory belonged to everyone.

Ji An and the others explored the deep sea, gathered spiritual materials, and refined the Sea Elephant Man’s tusks into valuable fifth-tier materials with the help of Ji An’s Yin Yang Spirit Fire. After three months, abnormal waves and a red sky led them to discover multiple underwater volcanoes erupting in the Vast Sea Realm.

• Yun Miao Sanren explained that the Sea Elephant Men were unlikely to pursue them soon and released fish demons to warn the group of approaching sea beasts.
• Que Yue Sanren inspected the Sea Elephant Man’s tusks and agreed to refine them with Ji An’s Yin Yang Spirit Fire, while the group continued searching the deep sea.
• Xuan Shuang Sanren’s condition worsened after two days underwater, so the group returned to the surface with corals and spiritual waters.
• Que Yue Sanren used his secret treasure and Ji An’s spirit fire to refine the tusks, obtaining fifth-tier Top-Grade and High-Grade materials.
• Three months later, Ji An spotted unusually large waves, and the group flew toward a crimson sky to investigate.
• Ji An recognized the red sky as a sign of volcanic activity, and the group saw multiple volcanoes erupting beneath the sea.

Ji An and his companions gathered rare Fire Element treasures from a newly exposed volcanic region, then escaped before its disappearance erased the cultivators who remained. After recovering on a nearby island, they began displaying and assessing their finds.

• Yun Miao Sanren and Que Yue Sanren realized the volcanic eruptions revealed a place where Sun power had been sealed, and the group searched the area for Spiritual Materials.
• Ji An collected the ancient Fire Demon Vine, Flame Heart Lotus, and Crimson Blood Grass while the eruption continued.
• When the mountains began sinking, Ji An urged the group to leave; they withdrew before golden Runes appeared and the volcanic range vanished along with the cultivators still there.
• Yun Miao Sanren’s spirit fish confirmed that the mountains had disappeared without a trace, and the group fled the region after realizing the others were likely lost.
• After flying through the night, the exhausted group rested on a small island, recovered, and displayed the Spiritual Items they had gathered, including Que Yue Sanren’s Flame Dragon Crystal.

Ji An and the others assessed their Vast Sea Realm spoils, including the Flame Dragon Crystal and Dragon Soul Gold, then decided to return early rather than risk facing a stronger interception force. After resting near the Realm Gate, they prepared to charge through together.

• Que Yue Sanren identified the Flame Dragon Crystal as a valuable Sixth-Tier Low-Grade Spiritual Item, and Ji An hoped it could be divided because Stone Turtle longed for it.
• Que Yue Sanren identified Xuan Shuang Sanren's ore as Dragon Soul Gold and explained its power to destroy spiritual awareness, while Ji An showed greater interest in the Flame Dragon Crystal.
• Ji An and Que Yue Sanren discussed upgrading Ji An's imitation Li Di Flame Light Banner, with Que Yue Sanren agreeing to help once he reached the Three Flowers Realm Late Stage.
• Yun Miao Sanren asked whether the group should explore farther or return, and Ji An supported leaving immediately after noting that more than sixty cultivators had gone missing in the volcanic eruption.
• The group traveled toward the Realm Gate, rested underwater, and prepared to break through together at rat hour with Ji An spearheading the advance.

Ji An led his companions through the sea-beast blockade at the Realm Gate and returned safely to Ziwei Star with a large haul of spiritual items and Dao rhythm. In Sea Star City, the group divided their gains, and Que Yue Sanren said he would upgrade Ji An’s Five Directions Banners after entering seclusion and advancing his cultivation.

• Ji An led the group toward the Realm Gate, broke through the surrounding sea beasts with the Great White Spirit Extinguishing Sword, and guided his companions into the passage back to Ziwei Star.
• Saint Lord Bai Ye and Saint Lord Wan Shi watched Ji An’s group escape but stayed behind, fearing they might be transported into their enemies’ path.
• Ji An checked the Stone Turtle’s gains and found that the return journey had added more than eight thousand points of Yin and Yang Dao rhythm.
• Yun Miao Sanren proposed that the group return to Sea Star City, where they divided the spiritual items they had gathered in the Vast Sea Realm.
• Ji An took several items that could increase Dao rhythm and agreed to wait while Que Yue Sanren entered seclusion before upgrading his Five Directions Banners.

Ji An used the treasures he brought back from the Vast Sea Realm to strengthen his Stone Turtle and spirit trees, then acquired and began cultivating a Crimson Moon Bee colony. Two years later, as the colony expanded, Que Yue Sanren announced a celebration for his breakthrough to the Three Flowers Realm Late Stage.

• Ji An fed the Stone Turtle Three Yuan Heavy Water and Taiyin Water, gaining yin Dao resonance, while the Flame Dragon Crystal remained in Que Yue Sanren's care.
• Ji An spent Dao resonance to raise one fifth-tier and two other Soul Nurturing Woods to the fifth tier.
• Ji An asked Wuyue Sanren to find fifth-tier queen bee eggs and bees, offering fifth-tier spiritual fruits and thunder talismans in trade.
• Wuyue Sanren obtained eggs from a fifth-tier queen of Crimson Moon Bees, and Ji An exchanged four Fifth-Tier Low-Grade Thunderstruck Earth Spirit Fruits for them.
• Ji An placed the eggs in the Gourd World, blood-contracted the first hatchling as the queen, and had Ayun arrange for the colony to be fed and monitored.
• Two years later, Ji An found the Crimson Moon Bee colony had grown beyond twenty thousand bees, and the Rock Armor Bear told him that Que Yue Sanren had planned a celebration for half a month later.

Ji An attended Que Yue Sanren’s gathering, agreed to cultivate Snow Silkworms for Qiu Yue Sanren, and entrusted his Li Di Flame Light Banner to Que Yue Sanren for an upgrade. He planted Mysterious Dark Mulberry cuttings in the Gourd World and continued cultivating as his connection to the small world deepened.

• Ji An and Wuyue Sanren congratulated Que Yue Sanren on his cultivation breakthrough and presented him with local specialties.
• Ji An met Qiu Yue Sanren, who offered Snow Silkworm eggs and Mysterious Dark Mulberry cuttings in exchange for a long-term silk supply agreement.
• Ji An left the Li Di Flame Light Banner with Que Yue Sanren for an upgrade that would take about twelve or thirteen years.
• Ji An completed the silkworm transaction with Qiu Yue Sanren and learned that a fellow cultivator raised Fire Element Spirit Spiders.
• Ji An created a cold habitat for the Snow Silkworms, blood-contracted one egg, and planted the Mysterious Dark Mulberry cuttings in the Gourd World.
• Ji An cultivated beneath the Gathering Origin Tree and felt his body and the Gourd World becoming increasingly unified.

Ji An received the upgraded Fifth-Tier Top-Grade Li Di Flame Light Banner and found a way to settle Que Yue Sanren’s refinement fees with Dragon Blood Wine. He improved his cultivation and farming spell, then advanced his Yin Yang Spirit Fire enough to burn the Ink Jade skeleton into potent ashes.

• Ji An met Que Yue Sanren, who showed him the newly upgraded Li Di Flame Light Banner in an underground magma cavern.
• The Li Di Flame Light Banner tried to overpower Ji An’s Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, but the Stone Turtle froze it until it submitted.
• Ji An and Que Yue Sanren agreed that Dragon Blood Wine would cover the refinement fees, and Ji An arranged to hand over the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner for upgrading.
• Ji An refined spirit wine and found that his Yin Yang Spirit Transformation Incantation had grown stronger; ten years later, the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner further increased its power.
• Ji An’s Yin Yang Spirit Fire advanced to Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade, allowing him to burn the Ink Jade skeleton into white, jade-like ashes and bury some beneath the Gathering Origin Tree.

Ji An entered seclusion and broke through to the Three Flowers Realm Late Stage after five hundred years of cultivation. He began prioritizing the Gourd World's Spirit Vein and told Que Yue Sanren that their spirit-earth trade would pause, leaving the timing of a celebration and resumed supply undecided.

• Ayun reported that two Ghost Mushrooms had reached the fifth tier, and Ji An ordered her to use their spores for future cultivation while uprooting lower-tier plants.
• Ji An entered seclusion to cultivate, and Yue Ling'er and Ayun watched as his breakthrough attempt reached its critical moment.
• The Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots and Stone Turtle aided Ji An's cultivation, and he manifested the Divine Flower, entering the Three Flowers Realm Late Stage.
• Ji An stabilized his realm, suspended soil excavation, and told Yue Ling'er and Ayun that he would announce his breakthrough at a gathering with friends rather than hold a grand celebration.
• Ji An visited Que Yue Sanren, shared the news of his breakthrough, and requested that their supply of Five Elements spirit earth be suspended after their current transaction.
• Que Yue Sanren congratulated Ji An and asked when the celebration would be held; Ji An could not say when he would resume the spirit-earth supply.

Ji An arranged for Que Yue Sanren to upgrade two of his Five Directions Banners Spiritual Treasures while working on a new cultivation art. When the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner and Li Di Flame Light Banner manifested powers associated with Innate Spirit Treasures, Ji An realized his treasures might continue to evolve.

• Ji An asked Que Yue Sanren to prepare materials to upgrade the Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner and Plain Cloud World Banner, and they agreed on the fees and schedule.
• Three years later, Ji An worked beneath the Gathering Origin Tree on a new Yin Yang Cave True Art suited to his Three Flowers Realm Late Stage cultivation.
• Ayun investigated mysterious mist in the north, became lost and unable to call for help, and Ji An flew to find her.
• The Black Tortoise revealed that it had created the mist with the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner, whose power disrupted perception.
• Ji An found cyan dust and chaotic elemental power in the south, then confirmed that the Li Di Flame Light Banner could invert the Five Elements and confuse Yin and Yang.
• Ji An declared that both banners had shown signs of evolution and anticipated that his other banners might gain similar powers.

Ji An tested the Li Di Flame Light Banner’s ability to disrupt Five Elements techniques, then prepared to search the Primordial Ancient Mine for Origin Crystals and materials to upgrade his treasure. He and Wuyue Sanren reached the Tianren Mountain Range and camped near the mine, two days from its entrance.

• Ji An used the Li Di Flame Light Banner to restrict Yue Ling'er’s Earth Evasion Technique and weaken her Earth Element spells.
• Yun Miao Sanren visited Ji An, agreed to hunt sea beasts with him in several years, and gave him a map of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
• Ji An agreed to join Yun Miao Sanren on an expedition to the mine in five years and held a small celebration for his breakthrough to Three Flowers Realm Late Stage.
• Ji An left Sea Star City with Wuyue Sanren and traveled southwest toward the Tianren Mountain Range.
• Ji An and Wuyue Sanren camped near the Primordial Ancient Mine, where Ji An prepared an array and planned to have Yue Ling'er keep watch.

Ji An and Wuyue Sanren arrived at the immortal city beside the Primordial Ancient Mine to gather information and prepare for their expedition. Ji An traded spirit fruits for two Origin Crystals, and the pair planned their route into the mine before setting out the next day.

• Ji An asked Wuyue Sanren to obtain a current mine map and information while he found lodging and questioned the restaurant manager about rare resources.
• Wuyue Sanren returned with a recent map, and Ji An compared it with Yun Miao Sanren's map before discussing his chance to trade with the manager's clan.
• Boundless Sanren of the White Fang Mountain Zhang Clan negotiated with Ji An, and they exchanged one Soul Nurturing Fruit and ninety-two Bodhi Fruits for each of two Origin Crystals.
• Ji An and Wuyue Sanren compared maps and plotted a route that avoided the first six mine levels and focused their search on the eighth level.
• Wuyue Sanren suggested using Big Yellow and Golden Fur to scout, and Ji An decided to release Golden Fur but not Big Yellow.

Ji An and Wuyue Sanren explored the Primordial Ancient Mine, confirmed their map was reliable, and encountered signs of a dangerous demonic cultivator. After preparing defenses, they continued their search cautiously.

• Ji An and Wuyue Sanren tested the mine’s strange aura and descended through its levels, confirming the map’s accuracy as they traveled.
• On the seventh level, Ji An set up the Nine Bends Heavenly River Array, and the two rested before resuming their exploration.
• Ji An found a dead Three Flowers Realm cultivator and burned the corpse into ashes to use as fertilizer for the Gourd World.
• Ji An later found a Daoist robe whose lingering aura indicated its owner had been devoured by a blood-soul construct, suggesting a demonic cultivator was nearby.
• Ji An obtained Purifying Spirit and Yin and Yang Divine Thunder Talismans, gave Wuyue Sanren the activation method, and prepared puppets to scout ahead.

Ji An and Wuyue Sanren mined for spiritual materials while Saint Lord Bai Ye and Moon Worshiping Saint Lord prepared to hunt them. After the Blood Soul tracked them to the mine, Saint Lord Bai Ye recognized Ji An as the enemy from the Vast Sea Realm.

• Saint Lord Bai Ye refined a White Bone Divine Demon, and Moon Worshiping Saint Lord agreed to help her hunt the cultivator who had killed their monastery’s disciples.
• Wuyue Sanren sensed a suspicious aura, and Ji An told him to keep moving while they watched for an ambush.
• Ji An released puppets to excavate without concealing their presence, hoping to lure out the hidden enemies.
• Moon Worshiping Saint Lord learned that his Blood Soul had found two cultivators and sent his strongest Blood Soul to watch them while Saint Lord Bai Ye recovered.
• Golden Fur found fifth-tier High-Grade Profound Yin Cold Iron, and Ji An gave Wuyue Sanren a defensive spiritual treasure to use if a fight began.
• The Blood Soul showed Saint Lord Bai Ye an image of Ji An, and she recognized him as their enemy from the Vast Sea Realm.

Ji An confronted Saint Lord Bai Ye and Moon Worshiping Saint Lord in the Primordial Ancient Mine, where he used a feigned decline to lure Bai Ye into revealing the White Bone Divine Demon. He crushed the demon and pierced Bai Ye with the Magnetic Divine Needle, leaving her fate unresolved.

• Moon Worshiping Saint Lord and Saint Lord Bai Ye scouted Ji An and planned to trap him in the mine tunnel.
• Ji An sensed their approach and blocked Bai Ye’s black qi with powerful fire spells before facing her in battle.
• Ji An and Bai Ye clashed their Dharma Manifestation and Demonic Manifestation, while Moon Worshiping Saint Lord waited with two Blood Souls ready to strike.
• Ji An pretended to weaken, prompting Bai Ye to unleash the White Bone Divine Demon in a surprise attack.
• Ji An stopped the demon’s bone spurs, ground the White Bone Divine Demon to pieces with a Yin-and-Yang spell, and pierced Bai Ye’s brow with the concealed Magnetic Divine Needle.

Ji An defeated Saint Lord Bai Ye and drove off the Moon Worshiping Saint Lord after discovering how to harmonize water and fire into Yin and Yang power. His Dao Seed rose to Top-Grade, and he began recovering and assessing the battle’s spoils.

• Ji An used the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner to seize Saint Lord Bai Ye’s body, while her Demon Infant was devoured by the Moon Worshiping Saint Lord’s blood soul.
• As the Blood River pressed back the black water, Ji An restored his mana, then activated the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner and Li Di Flame Light Banner together and fused their powers into Yin and Yang radiance.
• Ji An’s new power devastated the Blood River and damaged the blood soul, but the Moon Worshiping Saint Lord transformed and continued fighting before fleeing after Ji An held the advantage.
• Ji An set up the Nine Bends Heavenly River Array, entered the Gourd World to recover, and discovered that his Dao Seed had become Yin and Yang Two Forms (Top-Grade).
• Wuyue Sanren described the battle’s destruction to Yue Ling'er, who said she expected to break through in three to five years.
• After recovering, Ji An burned a piece torn from the blood soul into half a jar of fragrant, fifth-tier Top-Grade fertilizer for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots.

Ji An harvested demonic remains in the Primordial Ancient Mine, but Yue Ling'er died when her breakthrough tribulation destroyed her body. Back in Sea Star City, he strengthened the Gourd World and prepared to join Yun Miao Sanren’s deep-sea hunt, where they discovered a likely medium-sized fifth-tier High-Grade mineral vein.

• Ji An warned Wuyue Sanren, Yue Ling'er, and Big Yellow not to consume the fragrant remains of burned blood souls, then collected bone fragments from the defeated bone monster and used them as fertilizer.
• Ji An continued excavating the Primordial Ancient Mine, killing demonic beasts for fertilizer and finding Yin Metal items and an Origin Crystal.
• Yue Ling'er told Ji An she was ready to break through to the Three Flowers Realm, so he left the mine and took her to a secluded stretch of starry sky.
• Yue Ling'er’s breakthrough tribulation grew unusually powerful, and the Yin and Yang Divine Thunder destroyed her body; Ji An and Wuyue Sanren returned to Sea Star City in grief.
• Ji An used the Dao Rhymes and bone ash to raise his Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, then asked Que Yue Sanren about materials for upgrading the Plain Cloud World Banner and how to handle the White Bone Myriad Spirit Umbrella.
• After three years of deep-sea hunting with Yun Miao Sanren, Ji An heard that their spirit beasts had found a likely medium-sized fifth-tier High-Grade mineral vein.

Ji An and Yun Miao Sanren discovered a mineral vein occupied by Sea Fang Beasts and prepared to hunt the clan for its resources. After scouting revealed dozens of powerful beasts, they entered the vein and began luring them out, leaving the real battle about to begin.

• Yun Miao Sanren explained the Sea Fang Beasts’ traits and proposed investigating their clan before planning the hunt.
• Ji An sent the fifth-tier Top-Grade Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner to scout, and Yun Miao Sanren confirmed its concealment was nearly undetectable.
• The banner reported two fifth-tier Top-Grade and thirty-six fifth-tier High-Grade Sea Fang Beasts, so Ji An and Yun Miao Sanren prepared for battle.
• Ji An and Yun Miao Sanren descended to the mineral vein, where Yun Miao Sanren struck a tunnel entrance to lure out the beasts.
• The Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner secretly killed waves of Sea Fang Beasts until a fifth-tier Mid-Grade beast’s death stirred the clan, and Yun Miao Sanren warned Ji An that the real battle was beginning.

Ji An and his companions defeated the Sea Fang Beast horde and cleared the mineral vein, then spent ten years excavating its core ore layer. Back in Sea Star City, Ji An prepared the materials needed to have Que Yue Sanren upgrade the Plain Cloud World Banner.

• The Sea Fang Beast horde trapped Yun Miao Sanren with a combined attack, but Ji An ambushed and killed both Fifth-Tier Top-Grade beasts, breaking the horde and driving its survivors back into the mineral vein.
• Ji An and Yun Miao Sanren gathered the frozen corpses, agreed to compensate her for her losses, and planned to process the materials on the surface.
• Over ten years, Ji An, Yun Miao Sanren, and Wuyue Sanren excavated the mineral vein's core ore layer and returned to Sea Star City with their spoils.
• Ji An sorted and smelted the ores, then took the metal ingots to Que Yue Sanren and asked him to upgrade the Plain Cloud World Banner.
• Que Yue Sanren agreed to begin the upgrade the next day and realized that Ji An and Yun Miao Sanren had discovered a mineral vein.
