Chapter Summaries

Li Zhi and Yao Guang fought eighty-nine fierce sparring matches over a month, gaining new insights into the Mortal Physique and Chaos Body. Afterward, Li Zhi entered the Chaos Immortal Earth beyond the Nine Emperor Passes and began a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven tribulation, drawing the attention of the Wood Chopping Old Man and Yellow Tooth Old Man.

• Yao Guang challenged Li Zhi to spar, and Li Zhi accepted after sealing his cultivation at the Quasi-Emperor Fifth Heaven.
• Li Zhi and Yao Guang fought eighty-nine matches over a month, each learning from the other's combat methods and Dao.
• Li Zhi postponed his tribulation to digest what he had learned and concluded that the Chaos Body was the strongest innate physique.
• Li Zhi discovered his imprint on the Emperor Pass Crystal Stele, passed the Nine Emperor Passes, and entered the Chaos Immortal Earth.
• After cultivating there for three months, Li Zhi summoned a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven tribulation, which the Wood Chopping Old Man and Yellow Tooth Old Man noticed.

Li Zhi used his tribulation to investigate the origin of the Five Great Secret Realms and the Dao Seed within the human body. He glimpsed how the realms arose from the body's doors and gained insight into the limits of cultivation before stopping his experiment.

• Yellow Tooth Old Man and Wood Chopping Old Man watched Li Zhi face the Thunder Pool in his tribulation, and Wood Chopping Old Man sealed off the surrounding starry sky.
• Wood Chopping Old Man recognized the unusual five layers of divine light around Li Zhi, while Yellow Tooth Old Man wondered how he cultivated without merging his Dao with Heaven and Earth's Myriad Daos.
• Li Zhi reflected on Desolate Heaven Emperor's Five Secret Realms Method and theorized that the true Human Body Secret Realm existed within an invisible Dao Seed rather than the physical body.
• Li Zhi used the Origin Power of his Five Great Secret Realms to resist the Heavenly Tribulation and saw clear radiance connect the body's doors to five genuine Secret Realms.
• Li Zhi connected the Secret Realms' origins to the methods Desolate Heaven Emperor had incorporated and concluded that their limits could exceed those recognized in the present age.
• Li Zhi seemed to understand the principle behind the Human Body Secret Realm and the Dao Seed, then stopped using the Secret Realms' origin to resist the tribulation.

Li Zhi survived the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven tribulation and returned to his Dao Field, where he spent decades cultivating and developing his own methods. He concluded that he could advance his Dao attainment without external tribulations and began creating a path that would rely entirely on the human body rather than the universe’s Ten Thousand Daos.

• Li Zhi endured the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven tribulation and formally reached the mid-stage of that realm.
• The Wood Chopping Old Man and Yellow Tooth Old Man invited Li Zhi to the Ancient Heavenly Court, but Li Zhi refused the offer to inherit its Dao Palace.
• Yellow Tooth Old Man sensed a familiar aura on Li Zhi, which came from the Humanoid Immortality Elixir he carried.
• Li Zhi returned to his Supreme Being's Dao Field on Ziwei Ancient Star and spent sixty years in secluded cultivation, raising his Dao attainment to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven.
• After considering Ye Fan’s rapid progress, Li Zhi realized that Dao attainment could improve without undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.
• Li Zhi continued refining the Longevity Body Locking Art and sought to create a cultivation method independent of the external Ten Thousand Daos.

Li Zhi refined the Fan Transformation Art while turmoil spread as Ye Fan’s hundred-year deadline approached. After Jin Ming and Li Xian'er returned, Li Zhi warned them to stay in the Dao Field and began a sermon explaining his cultivation ideas, though he remained uncertain whether the Fan Transformation Art would help him face the Supreme Difficulty.

• Li Zhi developed the Fan Transformation Art to seal a cultivator’s energies and slow the loss of Lifespan, while continuing to ponder a method based on Using Oneself as Seed.
• Chuan Ying guarded the Nether Soil as Black Mist concealed an awakening presence, while Forbidden Zone forces and the Great Completion Overlord Physique stirred turmoil across the universe.
• The Heavenly Court’s Quasi-Emperors killed the Heaven-Slaying Fierce Beast after it hunted Yang Xi, bringing thirty years of peace before the approaching deadline renewed tension.
• Jin Ming returned as a Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven, and Li Xian'er returned to prepare for another Mortal World Reincarnation; Li Zhi urged both to remain in the Dao Field because Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings might target them.
• Li Zhi revealed that he had reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven and said he would rely on himself to overcome the Supreme Difficulty.
• Li Zhi held a sermon at Longevity Temple, sharing his Longevity Dao and explaining his plans after Jin Ming and Li Xian'er questioned how he intended to face the final three Supreme Difficulties.

Li Zhi explained the Fan Transformation Art and argued that the Five Great Secret Realms Method was a distinct human-centered evolutionary path whose later realms lacked proper names and a complete cultivation method. He began analyzing how each self-cultivated lifetime increased Ye Fan’s lifespan, showing that Ye Fan’s life level had started to rise after his third lifetime.

• Li Zhi answered Li Xian'er and Jin Ming's questions about sealing themselves away, sustaining their Dao, and nourishing their Life Origin.
• Li Zhi explained that the Fan Transformation Art merged a cultivator’s external Dao into the Human Body Dao Seed, making the whole body a vessel for the Dao while retaining an ordinary appearance.
• Li Zhi concluded that the Five Great Secret Realms Method differed from Immortal Dao and Divine Path cultivation, and that its realms above the Great Emperor level needed their own names and cultivation method.
• Li Zhi reasoned that the Desolate Heaven Emperor may have intentionally left later generations room to complete the Secret Realm Method, since he had provided no clear means of cultivation beyond the mortal level.
• Li Zhi compared Ye Fan’s lifetimes, noting that his lifespan reached twenty-six thousand years as a Great Emperor, stayed the same after taking an Immortality Elixir, and rose to thirty thousand years after he lived a third lifetime through his own strength.

Li Zhi used Ye Fan’s and Ruthless Great Emperor’s transformations to explain how the Five Great Secret Realms Method could develop beyond the mortal realm and cultivate a Longevity Dao Fruit. As he lectured his disciples, his own understanding of the path deepened and his aura began to reveal the presence of an Ancient Great Emperor.

• Li Zhi traced Ye Fan’s successive lifespan increases and identified the major transformations that led him to cultivate the Longevity Dao Fruit.
• Li Zhi compared Ruthless Great Emperor’s transformations with Ye Fan’s, noting that she was nearing the final leap toward her own Longevity Dao Fruit.
• Li Zhi outlined how the Five Great Secret Realms Method could progress beyond the mortal domain, distinguishing it from the Immortal Dao system and arguing that later generations should develop its missing stages.
• Li Zhi told his disciples that attaining the Longevity Dao Fruit required at least five major transformations and an Ultimate Leap, and he explained the stages of mortal cultivation.
• Li Zhi’s aura grew more profound as he lectured, and a strange radiance appeared when he explained the four stages of the Five Great Secret Realms Method.

While explaining the Human Body Secret Realm Method, Li Zhi divided its cultivation into four stages, briefly causing an aura of Dao Attainment to spread across the universe and alarm its experts. He realized that the road ahead in this cultivation system was unfinished and resolved to help build it.

• Li Zhi explained the method's four stages, and the Light of Dao Attainment and a powerful aura spread from Ziwei Ancient Star throughout the universe.
• Ye Fan, Golden Crow Great Emperor, Chuan Ying, and other experts sensed the aura, but it vanished without a Great Emperor Tribulation, leaving them to wonder what had happened.
• Li Zhi stopped himself from explaining the method's later stages aloud when his Primordial Spirit warned him that revealing them could bring Heavenly Punishment.
• Inwardly, Li Zhi named the stages Establishing Dao, Seeking Longevity, Nurturing Dao, and Transcendence, and received Cosmic Luck and recognition from the Human Body Secret Realm Method.
• Li Zhi saw that the method's Heaven-Connecting Great Dao was incomplete, with cliffs, mist, isolated Road Islands, and a bridge of bones, and resolved to help open and perfect the path.

Li Zhi discovered that his purpose as an outsider was to create a new Path of Cultivation and Evolution, and his Dao attainment surged to the completion of the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven. While the universe searched for the source of his brief Dao aura, Ye Fan achieved Saint Body Great Accomplishment, and Li Zhi sent Jin Ming and Li Xian'er to congratulate him without returning to the Dao Field.

• Li Zhi resolved that his purpose was to expand the Path of Cultivation and Evolution, merging his fate with the Ancient History and raising his Dao Realm to the completion of the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven.
• Li Zhi's Ancient Great Emperor aura injured his disciples during his sermon, so he restrained it, healed them, and explained to Jin Ming and Li Xian'er that his Dao Realm had advanced while his cultivation realm had not.
• Experts across the universe and the Forbidden Zones searched for the source of Li Zhi's fleeting Dao aura, which had stirred ancient Supremes with visions of a path to longevity.
• Ye Fan returned from the Border Wasteland, defeated an Overlord Blood Army, killed two Forbidden Zone Scions, and then survived his tribulation to achieve Saint Body Great Accomplishment and half-step Alternative Dao Attainment.
• Ye Fan entered the Netherworld and the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, killing the surviving Great Completion Overlord Physiques and establishing Heavenly Court as one of the universe's strongest forces.
• Li Zhi declined to attend Heavenly Court's celebration, sending Jin Ming and Li Xian'er to congratulate Ye Fan and telling them they could remain away from the Dao Field.

Li Zhi went to the Mythological Battlefield to confront the source of his growing sense of danger and discovered that the Heavenly Secrets could now reveal traces of him. Four Forbidden Zone Supreme Being Avatars confronted him, and their curiosity turned to greed when they sensed the Life Origin sealed within him.

• After a hundred years of unease, Li Zhi left Ziwei Ancient Star for the Mythological Battlefield as Avatars from four Forbidden Zones pursued him.
• Li Zhi revealed that he had reached Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven Peak without tribulations by temporarily severing his connection to the Great Universe.
• Li Zhi discovered that his traces had appeared in the Heavenly Secrets, allowing others to deduce his past and future.
• Four Supreme Being Avatars arrived, and Li Zhi recognized that they were not the Forbidden Zone rulers’ true bodies.
• The Spirit Emperor identified Li Zhi as a Walking Humanoid Immortality Elixir, causing the other Avatars to regard him with greed and resolve to possess him.

Li Zhi explained that he intended to open a Mortal World Longevity Path, but four Supreme Being Avatars attacked him to seize the Light of Dao Attainment and his life origin. He revealed eleven Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven perfection figures and formed the Great Heavenly Fiend Array, whose Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol alarmed the Forbidden Zones and drew Ye Fan toward the Mythological Battlefield.

• Li Zhi told the Four Imperial Dao Supreme Being Avatars that the Light of Dao Attainment contained a path to longevity and offered to share what he had comprehended.
• The four Supreme Being Avatars rejected Li Zhi's offer and attacked him, seeking to take his Light of Dao Attainment and life origin.
• Li Zhi summoned eleven powerful figures and joined them to form the Great Heavenly Fiend Array, which absorbed three tribulations and manifested a Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol.
• The Desolate Pagoda awakened beneath Beidou, a female Emperor emerged from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, and Ye Fan hurried toward the Mythological Battlefield.
• The Spirit Emperor Incarnation transformed into a blood dragon with Phoenix wings and launched a river of Flying Immortal Feather Blades at Li Zhi's Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol.

Li Zhi and the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol battled four Supreme Being Avatars while he endured a Great Emperor-level Thunder Tribulation. The strike Eternal Void destroyed the battlefield and the avatars, leaving the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones gravely injured and unable to find Li Zhi.

• The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol broke the Blood Beast and Metal Man's attacks, then shattered the Faith Dao Body's Divine Decree and life-bound Treasure Seal.
• The Dharma Idol used ten Marks of Reincarnation to destroy the Immortal Mound avatar's body, but the avatar revived with a Tribulation-Avoiding Ancient Talisman and revealed the Taiji Gods and Demons Diagram.
• The four Supreme Being Avatars joined forces to form a Four-Image Imperial Dao Law Furnace while Li Zhi fought the Thunder Tribulation.
• Li Zhi expanded the Law Thunder Pool to trap the avatars, then used the Great Luo Immortal Sword's Eternal Void strike to destroy them and the Thunder Tribulation.
• The strike erased the Mythological Battlefield and obliterated the avatars' divine senses, severely injuring the four Supreme Beings in their Forbidden Zones; they could not locate the vanished battlefield.

Li Zhi survived the battle against four Supreme Being avatars and the Heavenly Tribulation, then remained inside the sealed Mythological Battlefield while recovering and studying the Desolate Heaven Emperor’s Dharma Idol. Fifty years later, the barrier vanished, and Quasi-Emperors searched the devastated battlefield for clues as Black Emperor proposed visiting Li Zhi on Ziwei Ancient Star.

• The four Imperial Dao Supreme Beings withdrew after agreeing to meet Li Zhi on Flying Immortal Star when the Immortal Path opened in three or four hundred years.
• Inside the Mythological Battlefield, Li Zhi lay motionless after killing the four Supreme Being avatars and extinguishing the Heavenly Tribulation, while he recovered from the fiendish aura and comprehended the Desolate Heaven Emperor’s Dharma Idol.
• The remnants of the Supreme Being avatars were absorbed by the Divine Treasure Seal, the Taiji Gods and Demons Diagram, and other artifacts, while Ye Fan saw Li Zhi through the Sword Qi Barrier and returned to the Heavenly Court.
• Fifty years later, Quasi-Emperors entered the reappeared Mythological Battlefield but failed to uncover the battle’s details; Black Emperor sensed the remains of Li Zhi’s Supreme Grand Array.
• Black Emperor suggested visiting Li Zhi on Ziwei Ancient Star, and Ye Tong proposed asking Sister Li to take them there, while Holy Prince chose to return and cultivate.

Li Zhi spent fifty years cultivating a perfect Dao Seed by gently connecting and fusing his Five Great Secret Realms, opening a path to the mortal pinnacle that did not require the Heaven’s Will Imprint. As the Golden Age continued and Peerless Heavenly Prides grew stronger, the world began wondering who would next challenge the Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings.

• Li Xian'er borrowed the Bodhi Tree to comprehend the Dao, while Jin Ming and Dragon Lady continued cultivating and Dragon Lady came to trust Li Zhi's promise about resolving the karma between Myriad Dragon Nest and Heavenly Court.
• Li Zhi secluded himself in a region dense with Chaos Qi and considered how to attain the Dao without relying on the dangerous, potentially flawed Ultimate Leap.
• Li Zhi used a method inspired by Desolate Heaven Emperor to connect his Five Great Secret Realms and formed a Dao Cocoon that absorbed Chaos Essence Qi and the Myriad Dao Laws.
• After fifty years, Li Zhi's Dao Cocoon matured into a perfect Dao Seed and fused with his flesh and blood, allowing his Five Great Secret Realms to evolve further.
• Li Zhi left seclusion, believing he could reach the true mortal pinnacle without the Heaven's Will Imprint by continuing to evolve his Five Great Secret Realms.
• The world recalled Ye Fan's destruction of the Sea of Reincarnation and Li Zhi's victory over four Forbidden Zone Supreme Being avatars, then speculated about which rising Heavenly Pride would fight next.

• Li Zhi realized he could suppress the four Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings' avatars with one palm and declared himself a True Longevity Person.

After returning to his Dao Field, Li Zhi learned that Heavenly Court and his disciples had been worried about powerful spies, then revealed that he himself had watched Heavenly Court. He began planning a larger Dao Field and prepared to open a chaotic world for his daughters to observe.

• Li Zhi returned to Longevity Temple, fed the Five-colored Phoenix, and heard Mengzhang report on the Dao Field and the suspected Quasi-Emperor observers.
• Li Zhi watched Li Xian'er in Heavenly Court, and Xiao Nannan sensed his gaze, prompting Little Zi and Ye Fan to raise the alarm.
• Li Zhi decided to let the spies monitor the Dao Field because Ye Tong, Yang Xi, Li Tian, and Yan Yixi were already heading toward the Ziwei Star Domain.
• Li Zhi realized the growing Dao Field had become cramped and found a hidden region rich in Chaos Essence Qi where he could establish a larger world.
• Li Xian'er and Jin Ming returned, and Li Zhi revealed that he had been the one watching Heavenly Court before announcing his plan to open a world in the chaos.

Li Zhi revealed that he had reached the Peak of the Extreme Dao and forged a compact, extraordinarily sturdy world within the Chaos, moving the Supreme Being's Dao Field inside it. As the Three Gods Beyond the World searched the North Sea for the vanished Dao Field, Ye Tong and Yang Xi prepared to confront them, while their probing killed hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

• Li Xian'er asked to cultivate beneath the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree to perfect her Great Law of Human World Reincarnation, and Li Zhi agreed after sharing his insights into the Mark of Reincarnation.
• Li Zhi opened a vast world within the Chaos, compressed it into a sturdy Small World, and moved the Supreme Being's Dao Field inside it, leaving an Immortal Island above the North Sea as its entrance.
• The Three Gods Beyond the World descended in their true bodies to the North Sea to search for the vanished Dao Field, while Ye Tong, Yang Xi, and Yan Yixi went to meet them.
• The Three Gods Beyond the World swept the North Sea with Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought, killing hundreds of thousands of cultivators as they searched for information about the Dao Field.

The Three Gods Beyond the World hunted for Li Zhi and planned to ambush Li Xian'er, but Ye Tong and Yang Xi intercepted them, joined by Jin Ming. After they killed the three Quasi-Emperors, Immortality Mountain attacked the victors, and Ye Fan arrived to protect his disciples.

• The Three Gods Beyond the World searched for Li Zhi's vanished Dao Field, learned of his disciple and daughter, and decided to target them.

• After several days of battle, Ye Tong, Yang Xi, and Jin Ming killed the Three Gods Beyond the World and gathered their spoils.
• A Sky Shrouding Hand reached from Immortality Mountain to seize the three victors, but Ye Fan arrived and shattered it.

Li Zhi led Jin Ming, Ye Tong, and Yang Xi to Immortality Mountain after its Supreme Beings targeted his disciples, and the two sides settled the dispute with a divine medicine fruit.

• Li Zhi used his Life and Death Divine Pupil to inspect the Forbidden Zones and counted more than twenty dormant Imperial Dao Supreme Beings.
• Li Zhi reflected that killing Supremes might gather the fortune needed to become immortal, then led Jin Ming, Ye Tong, and Yang Xi into Immortality Mountain as guests.

Li Zhi led Ye Tong, Yang Xi, and Jin Ming into Immortality Mountain, where he met its Supreme Beings while the three disciples studied his Dao beneath the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. The chapter ended with Li Zhi calmly drinking tea served by Stone Emperor and two other Supreme Beings.

• Ye Fan and Heavenly Court's Supreme Quasi-Emperors prepared to attack Immortality Mountain if needed, but Ye Fan remained wary of its Supreme Beings.
• Li Zhi met Stone Emperor and two other Supreme Beings in a pavilion, where they served him Enlightenment Tea in three deliberate portions.
• Li Zhi drank the tea and praised it.

Li Zhi discussed the flaws in the Supreme Beings’ Dao Fruits and explained how he had reached Great Dao Perfection without becoming an Emperor. After his Dao Ancestor Divine Stele clashed with Stone Emperor’s Heavenly Desolation Halberd, the Supreme Beings asked him to share his method, and Li Zhi requested access to their Ancient Emperor Scriptures in return.

• The three Supreme Beings invited Li Zhi to sit after he drank their tea infused with Imperial Dao Laws, and they tasted tea containing his Great Dao True Meaning.
