Chapter Summaries

Li Zhi used Supreme Divine Blood in a sacrifice to steal three crystals of the Virtual God Realm’s origin, which he identified as Deity Foundations. The Domain Envoy vanished after trying to stop him, and Li Zhi gave away two of the crystals, leaving the battlefield stunned.

• Li Zhi killed Golden Spider Venerable, gave his Blood Pill to Shi Hao, and told the Domain Envoy of the Virtual God Realm to withdraw.
• The Divine Flame Man used a damaged Fragment of the Reincarnation Disk to attack Li Zhi, but Tuoba Yaoyang’s seven-colored altar blocked the Annihilation Divine Light and the artifact carried the Divine Flame Man away.
• The Artifact Spirit of the Fragment of the Reincarnation Disk told the Divine Flame Man that Tuoba Yaoyang possessed a living Immortal King Origin and criticized the Divine Flame Man’s dependence on its power.
• Tuoba Yaoyang sacrificed Supreme Divine Blood to strengthen the Virtual God Realm’s origin, while Small Pagoda told Shi Hao that he was stealing that origin.
• The sacrifice produced three five-colored crystals, and the Domain Envoy vanished after trying to stop Tuoba Yaoyang.
• Li Zhi took one crystal and threw the other two away, explaining that each Deity Foundation could lead its holder to at least the Heavenly God Dao Fruit.

Li Zhi met Willow Deity and learned the complete Path of Sacrificial Spirit to help create his own Divine Path and pursue becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Meanwhile, Shi Hao and the other remaining young fighters battled for the Virtual God Realm’s Divine Crystals, and the chapter ended with them joining forces to eliminate the Venerables.

• Li Zhi left the melee over the Divine Crystals and traveled to meet Willow Deity.
• Li Zhi explained that his true body was trapped and asked Willow Deity to teach him the complete Path of Sacrificial Spirit.
• Li Zhi told Willow Deity he planned to create his own Divine Path and use the Great Reckoning to attempt to Break King and become Emperor, and she personally instructed him.
• The battle for the Divine Crystals raged for half a day, with Shi Hao, Yue Chan, the Demoness, and the Divine Flame Man among the final fighters.
• The Divine Flame Man proposed that the four young fighters clear out the remaining Venerables before settling the Divine Crystals among themselves.
• Shi Hao, Yue Chan, the Demoness, and the Divine Flame Man attacked the Venerables together as spectators cheered them on.

Shi Hao won two Divine Crystals in the Virtual God Realm, escaping Divine Punishment with Willow Deity’s help. Back in his physical body, Li Zhi used a Divine Crystal to advance Tuoba Yaoyang to the Venerable Realm.

• Shi Hao outmatched the Divine Flame Man, Yue Chan, and the Demoness in the battle for the Divine Crystals as the Venerables withdrew.
• The Divine Flame Man brought out the Reincarnation Disk, prompting Master Niao and Master Jing Bi to unleash an aura of Divine Punishment.
• Shi Hao grabbed the final Divine Crystal and fled, while Small Pagoda blocked the first strike of Divine Punishment.
• Willow Deity intervened, carried Shi Hao away, and explained that the Divine Crystals held a kind of Great Dao Origin.
• Li Zhi returned to his body and fused a Divine Crystal into Tuoba Yaoyang, whose cultivation advanced to the Venerable Realm.

Li Zhi used Tuoba Yaoyang’s body to forge an ultimate Dao foundation and guide him through a Venerable-level thunderstorm, then returned his body and set him a series of trials. Li Zhi began cultivating the Path of Sacrificial Spirit independently while Tuoba Yaoyang set out across the Barren Region to complete his trials.

• Li Zhi entered a thunderstorm with Tuoba Yaoyang’s body and guided him through the lightning, accelerating the fusion of his divine soul with the Virtual God Realm Origin Divine Crystal.
• After the storm, Li Zhi left Tuoba Yaoyang’s body and explained that Tuoba Yaoyang was now a Venerable but would need to undergo Nirvana reconstruction to master his cultivation.
• Tuoba Yaoyang agreed to help Li Zhi, and Li Zhi warned him to complete his assigned trials within a year before the great tribulation arrived.
• Tuoba Yaoyang flew toward Flame Mountain to find a miraculous herb, with further trials awaiting him at the Golden Land, the Kunpeng Nest, the Medicine Capital, and the Primordial Divine Mountains.
• Li Zhi cultivated the Path of Sacrificial Spirit using the Virtual God Realm’s origin, seeking to grow as a divine soul and ultimately achieve Transcendence.

Li Zhi studied the spiritual essence of the Sacrificial Spirit path and used it to clarify how he could develop a Divine Path from the Current Era Method. After seeing Tuoba Yaoyang’s rapid progress, he reconsidered his expectations and recognized the Tuoba siblings’ considerable potential.

• Li Zhi concluded that the Sacrificial Spirit path centered on sublimating the spirit and saw how its potential could inform his Divine Path cultivation system.
• Li Zhi mapped the Current Era Method’s realms to stages of spiritual development and realized that its later practitioners had abandoned the path of true deities.
• A year passed, and Tuoba Yaoyang completed Li Zhi’s assignments with remarkable efficiency, reaching Venerable Great Perfection after five or six sublimations.
• Li Zhi recognized that he had judged Tuoba Yaoyang by the exceptional young Desolate Heaven Emperor and had underestimated the effect of the foundation he had given him.
• Li Zhi concluded that the Tuoba siblings had strong talent and a substantial chance of becoming Quasi-Immortal Kings, while Desolate Heaven Emperor’s rise could not be explained by his bloodline or Supreme Bone alone.

Li Zhi realized that Karma Force had nearly led him astray by cultivating through Tuoba Yaoyang and Tuoba Yu'er, so he returned their bodies and let them follow their own paths. As Tuoba Yaoyang prepared to enter the Upper Realm, Tuoba Yu'er left the Jietian Sect to travel with the Demoness ahead of the coming great tribulation.

• Li Zhi concluded that Desolate Heaven Emperor’s extraordinary origin and talent explained his peerless cultivation, and recognized that borrowing the Tuoba siblings’ bodies had put his own cultivation path at risk.
• Li Zhi returned Tuoba Yaoyang’s body and withdrew his soul from Tuoba Yu’er, restoring the siblings’ control over their cultivation and fate.
• Tuoba Yu’er continued to excel within the Jietian Sect, where the hidden prodigy reached the legendary limits of several cultivation realms and received a Nine Secrets Magic Array prepared by Li Zhi.
• Li Zhi left the lower realm’s remaining mysteries unresolved, intending to revisit them after his true body regained its freedom.
• Tuoba Yaoyang completed Li Zhi’s trial mission, visited Tuoba Yu’er, and borrowed a route to the Upper Realm before the great tribulation.
• Tuoba Yu’er left the Jietian Sect’s mountain gate and set out to travel with the Demoness.

Tuoba Yu'er left the Jietian Sect to seek fortune during the great tribulation, while Li Zhi used the laws revealed by the tribulation to strengthen his divine soul and pursue the Immortal Ancient Method. After the tribulation, they prepared to seek the Primordial Treasure Realm, where its Sun Divine Tree and Divine Liquid could help Tuoba Yu'er advance.

• The Demoness and Tuoba Yu'er traveled toward the Great Wilderness before parting ways, and Tuoba Yu'er settled at an ancient kingdom's Heaven Worshipping Ground to await the great tribulation.
• Tuoba Yu'er left the Jietian Sect after demonstrating her strength, while the Demoness also departed because both understood the opportunities the tribulation could bring.
• The three Immortal King remnant artifacts triggered the great tribulation, shifting the Lower Eight Regions' laws and filling the world with visions and Law Fragments.
• Li Zhi guided the tribulation's visions through the Immortal Seed, absorbing most of the Law Fragments and condensing them into a Special Dao Seed that strengthened his divine soul.
• Li Zhi concluded that the Sun Divine Tree in the Primordial Treasure Realm could help him grow his Dao Seed, while its Divine Liquid could support Tuoba Yu'er's cultivation.
• After the tribulation, Tuoba Yu'er's cultivation advanced, but inscribing the Nine Secrets array strained her Life Origin, so she and Li Zhi planned to seek the Primordial Treasure Realm for its Divine Liquid.

Li Zhi established his plans in the Primordial Treasure Realm and advised Tuoba Yaoyang to focus on cultivation rather than worry about repaying him. Meanwhile, the Ancient Twin-Pupils Woman arrived in the Upper Realm with Shi Yi and found Li Zhi’s True Dragon Nest.

• Tuoba Yu'er reunited with Shi Hao in Stone Kingdom, and they traveled together to enter the Primordial Treasure Realm.
• Li Zhi rooted his special Dao Seed in the Sun Divine Tree and left Tuoba Yu'er an empty Immortal Seed shell to support her future cultivation of Using Oneself as Seed.
• Tuoba Yaoyang returned to the ruined Tuoba Clan ancestral land and vowed to avenge his clan against Sword Valley before asking Li Zhi for guidance.
• Li Zhi reassured Tuoba Yaoyang that he did not expect repayment yet and told him to cultivate until he reached the Supreme level.
• The Ancient Twin-Pupils Woman arrived in the Upper Realm with Shi Yi, reached the cave that had become a True Dragon Nest, and opened her Double Pupils Heavenly Eye to inspect it.

The Ancient Twin-Pupils Woman brought Shi Yi to Dragon Cave to seek an opportunity to become immortal while Li Zhi continued rebuilding the Double-Pupils practitioners’ foundations. In Fire State, Shi Hao and Qi Daolin opened the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, releasing ten heroic spirits and meeting a Miniature Golden Divine Dragon who recognized Shi Hao as Huang and gave them Pure Yang Dragon Saliva.

• The Ancient Twin-Pupils Woman led Shi Yi into Dragon Cave, where a dragon roar briefly shook Five Elements State and awakened the Ageless Heavenly Venerate.
• Two years passed as Shi Hao entered the Upper Realm, obtained the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, and joined Qi Daolin’s Supreme Being’s Dao Field.
• Shi Hao and Qi Daolin found the Three Lives Bronze Coffin underground in Fire State, and Qi Daolin’s attempt to open it left him badly injured before the coffin opened by itself.
• Ten figures emerged from the coffin and headed toward the Uninhabited Region, after which Shi Hao and Qi Daolin encountered a Miniature Golden Divine Dragon among the dragon bones.
• The Miniature Golden Divine Dragon recognized Shi Hao as Huang of Desolate Heaven Emperor, triggering the Ancestral Dragon Imprint and drawing the attention of Forbidden Zone Supreme beings.
• The Miniature Golden Divine Dragon replayed Shi Hao’s experiences, laughed upon seeing Tuoba Yaoyang and the Three-layered Altar, then spat Pure Yang Dragon Saliva onto Shi Hao and Qi Daolin before leaving.

Tuoba Yaoyang’s attempt to forge the Nine Dragons Facing Heaven Seal was transformed by a surge of Ancestral Dragon power, while Li Zhi’s dormant altar returned to him and freed his true body. Li Zhi absorbed the power and rose to Peak Immortal King, but the barrier to becoming an Immortal King Giant remained.

• Shi Hao asked Qi Daolin about the miniature Divine Dragon, and Qi Daolin explained that it was likely an heroic spirit born from a fallen True Dragon.
• Tuoba Yaoyang used Dragon Pattern Immortal Gold to forge his Human Emperor Great Seal, following the method Li Zhi had taught him.
• A golden light changed the seal’s design into the Ancestral Dragon Coiling Mountain Treasure Seal, while Li Zhi’s altar fell silent and radiated an unfamiliar aura.
• Tuoba Yaoyang carried the seal and altar to Li Zhi’s Dragon Cave, where the altar collapsed into Life Origin and merged into Li Zhi’s Sea of Wheels Realm.
• Dragon Qi awakened within Li Zhi, dissolving the strange will in his flesh and allowing him to absorb Great Dao Runes until he reached Peak Immortal King.

Li Zhi examined the Golden Divine Dragon’s memories and learned how its avatar rose to Immortal King Peak, twice tried to Break King and become Emperor, and lost its body and treasures. He realized that reclaiming the body would require traveling to the Other Domain and Burial Domain, and worried that the avatar might have fallen into darkness.

• Tuoba Yaoyang awoke from enlightenment after Li Zhi tempered his cultivation, then received the Ancestral Dragon Coiling Mountain Seal as a guardian treasure.
• Li Zhi moved to an Immortal Mountain in the Uninhabited Region and studied the Golden Divine Dragon’s recovered soul and memories.
• The Golden Divine Dragon’s lost treasure, resembling a Luoyang Shovel, broke free from a Boundary Sea powerhouse and returned toward the embankment, prompting Immortal Kings to issue decrees seeking the Ancestral Dragon.
• Li Zhi learned that the Golden Divine Dragon’s avatar had gathered dragon-clan methods into the Ancestral Dragon Treasure Technique and twice failed to Break King and become Emperor.
• Li Zhi discovered that the Golden Dragon Armor might remain somewhere in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, while the avatar’s body and other treasures were lost in the Other Domain and Burial Domain.
• Li Zhi concluded that he would have to search those domains for the Golden Divine Dragon’s body and feared its avatar might have fallen into darkness.

Li Zhi restored the Miniature Golden Divine Dragon, gave him a new body and set him to cultivate the Current Era Method before sending him to join Tuoba Yaoyang in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. Meanwhile, a group from a Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone arrived in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to search for the Ancestral Dragon Relic, while Li Zhi continued developing his Divine Path cultivation system.

• Li Zhi concluded that he should not act openly and recondensed the intelligence of the Golden Divine Dragon’s heroic spirit, whose cultivation had merged into Li Zhi.
• Li Zhi reforged a dragon body for the Miniature Golden Divine Dragon and guided him through the Current Era Method until he reached the peak of the Venerable level.
• Li Zhi told the Miniature Dragon to accompany Tuoba Yaoyang into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm to search for the Golden Dragon Armor, then sent him to Tuoba Yaoyang.
• A mysterious Ancient Ship carrying a Supreme, three powerful cultivators and ten Heavenly God disciples crossed from a Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone into the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to find the Ancestral Dragon Relic.
• Li Zhi sensed the ship but ignored its occupants and continued working on his Divine Path system, whose cultivation methods beyond the Supreme level remained incomplete.

A supreme being from a forbidden zone sent three teams into the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to investigate rumors about the Ancestral Dragon, and He Binglan led one team to search Demon Island for clues. They arrived just after Tuoba Yu'er had left, unaware that Li Zhi had used immortal king divine sense to save her from a strange force.

• The middle-aged supreme being divided his cultivators into three teams and dispatched them to Central State, Heavenly State, and Five Elements State to investigate the Ancestral Dragon.
• He Binglan led Lin Xing, Lin Yue, Gu Tong, and another heavenly god toward Demon Island, hoping the Demon Venerable's divine stele would point them to people with ties to the Ancestral Dragon's relics.
• He Binglan explained that talented cultivators favored by great karmic luck might appear near the top of the stele's rankings and lead them to useful clues.
• The group landed on Demon Island after Tuoba Yu'er had already left her imprint at the top of the divine stele, tied with Huang's imprint.
• Li Zhi sensed Tuoba Yu'er was in danger and used immortal king divine sense to dispel the strange force she had absorbed on Demon Island.

Li Zhi explored the Thunder Emperor’s ruined travel palace and studied the incomplete Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique. After returning to his Daoist Temple, he began creating the Heavenly Punishment Immortal Scripture for Tuoba Yu’er.

• Li Zhi observed Tuoba Yu’er’s Nirvana on Demon Island and learned that she had built her cultivation around a vow to punish those who branded the Tuoba Clan as Sin Blood.
• Li Zhi crossed the thunder sea and discovered the ruins of the Thunder Emperor Palace in the small world.
• Li Zhi comprehended the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique but could only form a flawed version, producing Origin Divine Thunder and Realm Annihilation Divine Thunder.
• Li Zhi found no scripture containing the complete technique and concluded that Tianyuan Supreme Being had taken it along with the Thunder Emperor Armor.
• Li Zhi returned to his Daoist Temple and began creating the Heavenly Punishment Immortal Scripture for Tuoba Yu’er by combining the Heavenly Punishment Dao with the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique.

Tuoba Yu'er cultivated at the Immortal Tomb while Forbidden Zone Visitors sought answers about her and Huang. The Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea began, and He Binglan warned her disciples not to meddle in the dangerous legacy of Immortal Ancient.

• Tuoba Yu'er picked three lightning Precious Medicines, completed her Nirvana cultivation, and strengthened her Thunder Dao Treasure Art and Flying Immortal Power.
• Gu Tong and the other Forbidden Zone Visitors questioned and then killed the Jietian Sect Heavenly God, learning that Tuoba Yu'er had gone deep into Demon Island and could not be contacted.
• He Binglan ordered her disciples to wait for Tuoba Yu'er to emerge, while Li Zhi expected her to continue training at the Immortal Tomb.
• The bells announcing the Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea sounded, and Tuoba Yu'er ended her cultivation to return to the Jietian Sect.
• When Gu Tong suggested searching the Immortal Ancient trial ground for the Ancestral Dragon Relic, He Binglan struck him and warned the disciples against provoking its dangerous karma.

He Binglan sent Gu Tong to capture Tuoba Yu'er, but the Immortal Tomb’s power trapped him in a Thunder Domain Cage and Tuoba Yu'er killed him. Tuoba Yu'er returned to the Jietian Sect to join the coming battle, while He Binglan used Gu Tong’s death as a pretext to pursue the Ancestral Dragon Relic’s clues.

• He Binglan warned her people to avoid karma tied to the Immortal Ancient War and revealed that the Ancestral Dragon Relic could enable their return to the Immortal Realm.
• He Binglan ordered Gu Tong to capture Tuoba Yu'er before she entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm and gained more power.
• Gu Tong found Tuoba Yu'er completing her Venerable tribulation at the Immortal Tomb, where she summoned a Thunder Pool and absorbed its liquid.
• The Immortal Dao Thunder suppressed Gu Tong and trapped him with Tuoba Yu'er in a Thunder Domain Cage, where Tuoba Yu'er defeated and killed him.
• Li Zhi told Tuoba Yu'er to join the Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea battle, and she used a Great Teleportation Talisman to return to the Jietian Sect.
• After learning Gu Tong was dead, He Binglan led her group toward the Uninhabited Region, explaining that they would risk their lives for any clue about the Ancestral Dragon Relic.

After Gu Tong’s death, He Binglan learned that the Immortal King had severed his group’s connection to the Forbidden Zone, leaving them desperate to find information about the Ancestral Dragon Relic. As the Immortal Dao Flower Bud bloomed and cultivators entered its Secret Realm, Li Zhi reflected on the era’s wasted prodigies and continued refining the Current Era Method, whose transition from Venerable to Divine Fire remained unresolved.

• He Binglan realized that his group could not return to the Forbidden Zone and would face death unless they found information about the Ancestral Dragon Relic.
• The horn of the Three Thousand Provinces sounded as the Immortal Dao Flower Bud reached its final bloom, heralding the end of the current era.
• Li Zhi watched the three thousand petals bloom and judged that ancient prodigies such as Son of Heaven, Banished Immortal, Ning Chuan, and Chang Gongyan had squandered their potential by repeatedly sealing themselves.
• The petals formed roads into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and qualified cultivators entered through their Light Gates.
• Li Zhi resumed perfecting the Current Era Method and focused on why its Venerable Realm cultivators had to Ignite Divine Fire.

Li Zhi completed a coherent Divine Path cultivation system for the Current Era Method, clarifying how its realms could progress beyond the Heavenly God Realm. He passed the revised system to his Miniature Golden Divine Dragon incarnation, whose Divine Fire Realm breakthrough triggered a Law Creation Tribulation in the Immortal Ancient World.

• Li Zhi concluded that the Current Era Method's Divine Path ended at the Heavenly God Realm, making the transition to the Void Dao Realm difficult, and organized the higher realms into a complete path up to the Ancestor Gods.
• Li Zhi identified the Saint Sacrifice Realm as an unnecessary transitional stage caused by the incomplete system and established a true Divine King Realm equivalent to the Void Dao Realm.
• Li Zhi synchronized his perfected Divine Path system to his Miniature Golden Divine Dragon incarnation, which cultivated the system after igniting Divine Fire and attracted a Law Creation Tribulation.
• The Miniature Golden Divine Dragon transformed into a Ten-Thousand-Zhang Divine Dragon and fought through the Thunder Sea, disrupting the Thunder Pool and scattering Thunder Tribulation Liquid that dispelled some beings' curses.
• The living beings who received the Thunder Tribulation Liquid worshiped the dragon, and their Power of Faith strengthened the Divine Flame as it absorbed the laws of heaven and earth.
• Li Zhi's revised Divine Fire Realm method used the laws of heaven and earth to temper the body and primordial spirit, transform Treasure Technique Runes into Law Divine Flames, and prepare cultivators to enter the True One Realm.

The Miniature Dragon survived a series of tribulations while advancing through Li Zhi’s Divine Path system, reaching the Heavenly God Realm and forming a flawed Divine Spark. He then entered the Dragon Cave to find Tuoba Yaoyang.

• The Miniature Dragon’s Divine Fire tribulation drew the attention of powerhouses across the Three Thousand Provinces, who recognized his method of igniting Divine Fire.
• After surviving the tribulation, the Miniature Dragon swallowed the Thunder Pool, and its eruption killed the Venerables who had planned to ambush him.
• The Miniature Dragon absorbed the Thunder Pool’s laws and tribulation liquid, then advanced through the True One and Heavenly God realms by surviving further tribulations.
• The Miniature Dragon condensed a True Dragon Divine Spark that granted him a Divine Position, though he sensed that it was flawed because Heaven and Earth were incomplete.
• The Miniature Dragon explained the benefits of Divine Path cultivation and went into the Dragon Cave to find Tuoba Yaoyang.

The Miniature Dragon freed Flood Dragon Ge Ze from the Curse Power and learned that clues to the Ancestral Dragon Armor lay in a Chaos Dragon Nest. Inside its Primordial Stone Cave, he found carvings linking the armor to other figures and the Primordial Gate, leaving Li Zhi puzzled by what they might reveal about his future.

• After returning to the Dragon Cave, the Miniature Dragon used Thunder Tribulation Liquid to remove Ge Ze's Curse Power and free him from his chains.
• Ge Ze told the Miniature Dragon that he had entered Immortal Ancient to seek the Ancestral Dragon Armor and had found clues in a Two-Crown King's records and a Chaos Dragon Nest.
• Ge Ze led the Miniature Dragon to the Chaos Dragon Nest in a collapsing Doom Small World, where the Miniature Dragon entered a Primordial Stone Cave.
• The Miniature Dragon found cave-wall carvings depicting the Golden Dragon Armor, Li Zhi's Humanoid Weapon, Ye Fan's Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron, the Ruthless Great Emperor's mask, and a Mysterious Fairy.
• Li Zhi viewed the carvings through the Miniature Dragon and recognized a portal depicted pulling the Golden Dragon Armor as the Primordial Gate.
