Chapter Summaries

Han Yi fought a Qi Refining Layer 9 cultivator who trained both spirit and body, keeping his distance and attacking with four Wind Demon Daggers. After the opponent trapped the daggers with a golden snake phantom, Han Yi killed him with a Yin Thunder Talisman and a barrage of Spirit Void Fingers, then prepared to leave with little magic power remaining.

• Han Yi recognized the burly cultivator as a spirit-body dual cultivator and retreated while sending four Wind Demon Daggers to attack.
• Han Yi repeatedly interrupted the cultivator’s halberd technique and kept him at a distance as the daggers forced him to defend.
• The cultivator planted his halberd and summoned a golden snake phantom that trapped the daggers and severed Han Yi’s control over them.
• Han Yi charged forward and used a Yin Thunder Talisman against the briefly immobilized cultivator.
• Han Yi followed the thunder strike with more than a hundred Spirit Void Fingers, then confirmed the charred cultivator was dead and prepared to leave.

Han Yi killed Liao Yan, took his storage pouch and a mysterious Cosmos Bag, and escaped toward the immortal ships while Han Xuxiao pursued him. Han Yi narrowly reached the ship before Han Xuxiao, who clashed with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and reunited with Chu Jinmo, He Fengdi, and Shen Ru.

• Han Yi confirmed his Spirit Void Finger had killed Liao Yan, recovered his halberd and storage pouch, and discovered a small black pouch he suspected was a Cosmos Bag.
• A Blood God Sect cultivator found Liao Yan's corpse and alerted Han Xuxiao that Liao Yan and his Cosmos Bag were missing.
• Han Xuxiao identified the killer's aura as belonging to the Mystic Pill Sect disciple who had killed Shi Heng, then used the Soul-Chasing Technique to pursue Han Yi.
• Han Yi reached an immortal ship just before Han Xuxiao caught up, and a black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator attacked Han Xuxiao, who met the blow with his blood-red sword.
• Han Yi reunited with Chu Jinmo, He Fengdi, and Shen Ru, and He Fengdi warned him that Han Xuxiao would have killed him if he had arrived a moment later.

Han Yi learned that Han Xuxiao was a Legendary Qi Refining Blood God Son who might be pursuing him because he had killed four Blood God Sect cultivators. He also learned why the sects restrained their Foundation Establishment cultivators from interfering in battles between Qi Refining disciples, and the immortal vessel returned to the sect with a hundred people aboard.

• He Fengdi explained the ranks of Qi Refining cultivators and revealed that Han Xuxiao was one of the Blood God Sect’s nine Blood God Sons and a Legendary Qi Refining cultivator.
• Han Yi suspected Han Xuxiao had come after him because he had killed four Blood God Sect cultivators, and he assessed how little chance he had against a Legendary Qi Refining opponent.
• Han Yi asked why the Foundation Establishment elders had not intervened in the ambushes, and He Fengdi explained the mutual understanding that kept each sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivators out of Qi Refining battles.
• The elder who had pursued Han Xuxiao returned without comment, and Han Yi guessed that he had failed to kill him.
• Three days later, the immortal vessel gathered a hundred people and departed for the sect.

After returning to Azure Dragon Peak from the Myriad Demon Mountains, Han Yi inspected the magic artifacts and other spoils he had collected. He recognized a black bag as a Universe Bag and began testing its weak divine-sense restriction.

• He Fengdi told Han Yi, Chu Jinmo, and Shen Ru to rest before submitting their mission and dividing the demon-beast rewards in three days.
• Han Yi returned to his courtyard and found he could not quickly break the restrictions on the four storage bags he had taken.
• He examined the Wind Demon Daggers, long halberd, silver folding fan, damaged Blood Soul Banner, and three Body Protection Inner Armors, planning to sell several items for a better sword.
• Han Yi tested the black bag and found its divine-sense restriction was unusually weak, confirming his suspicion that it was a Universe Bag.
• The narration revealed that the Universe Bag belonged to a Blood God Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had lent it to Liao Yan to collect spirit plants.

Han Yi wore down the restrictions on a storage pouch while recovering from his journey, then met He Fengdi, Chu Jinmo, and Shen Ru to submit their mission and divide their rewards. He learned that many disciples had died on the expedition, and Chu Jinmo teased him about Yan Ru before leaving.

• Han Yi weakened the storage pouch's restrictions and estimated he would break them in three more days.
• Han Yi met Luo Yunzhou, agreed to exchange pointers with him in seven days, and then encountered Guan Di returning with the battered final group of disciples.
• He Fengdi told Han Yi that more than sixty disciples appeared to have died during the trip to the Myriad Demon Mountains.
• Han Yi, He Fengdi, Chu Jinmo, and Shen Ru submitted their mission, divided the points, and Han Yi exchanged his share for alchemy and talisman-making materials.
• Chu Jinmo thanked Han Yi for saving her, offered him help, and teased him about considering Yan Ru as a Dao companion.

Han Yi sold several magic artifacts from the Myriad Demon Mountains to He Fangwei at Nine Dragon Shop, including a Silver-Scaled Fan linked to the Southern Dipper Divine Palace. After He Fangwei explained the Silver Series, Han Yi presented a gilded halberd, leaving the shopkeeper stunned by what he found.

• Han Yi visited Nine Dragon Shop in disguise and sold He Fangwei a damaged Blood Soul Banner and three sets of inner armor for a total of seventy-five Medium-grade Spirit Stones.
• Han Yi sold He Fangwei a Silver-Scaled Fan for five hundred sixty Medium-grade Spirit Stones.
• He Fangwei explained that the Silver-Scaled Fan and the Silver Light Beads belonged to the Southern Dipper Divine Palace’s high-grade Silver Series, then asked whether Han Yi had returned from the Myriad Demon Mountains.
• Han Yi placed a gilded halberd on the table for appraisal, and He Fangwei examined it with a shocked, disbelieving expression.

Han Yi sold his recent spoils at Nine Dragon Shop and bought the Shadow-Bearing Sword and spirit talismans. He then met Luo Yunzhou and Yan Ru, who sought his advice before their accelerated trip to the Myriad Demon Mountains, and warned them that the mission was dangerous.

• He Fangwei appraised Han Yi's halberd as a half-step Top-grade Magic Artifact containing Great Qian national fortune and the soul of a Heavenly Profound Snake, and warned Han Yi that its former owner might have ties to a duke or marquis.
• Han Yi sold the halberd and his other gains for 1,535 Medium-grade Spirit Stones, then bought the Shadow-Bearing Sword and a variety of spirit talismans, including two Yin Thunder Talismans.
• Luo Yunzhou told Han Yi that the second and third batches of inner sect disciples had been moved up, with his and Yan Ru's Myriad Demon Mountains mission scheduled for seven days later.
• Han Yi met Luo Yunzhou and Yan Ru at Immortal Chess House to advise them, learned Qi Hong had stayed at Vermilion Bird Peak, and warned that the mission was very dangerous.

Han Yi warned Yan Ru and Luo Yunzhou about the dangers of the Myriad Demon Mountains and advised them on how to prepare. After breaking into a storage pouch, he discovered a mysterious blood flower and identified it in a sect reference book as the Blood Bone Spirit Flower.

• Han Yi explained that demon beasts and Blood God Sect ambushes threatened the Myriad Demon Mountains, then urged Yan Ru and Luo Yunzhou to travel in coordinated groups, prepare spirit talismans, and prioritize their own strength.
• Han Yi returned to his courtyard and spent three days breaking the restrictions on a storage pouch.
• Han Yi found a single purple jade box in the unusually large pouch and discovered a blood-colored flower inside whose fragrance stirred his spiritual power and loosened a shackle within him.
• Han Yi resealed the box and searched the Mystic Pill Sect library for information about the flower.
• Han Yi found an illustration and entry for the Blood Bone Spirit Flower in Catalogue of One Hundred and Eight Strange Flowers of the Cultivation World.

Han Yi discovered that the three-petaled Blood Bone Spirit Flower in his possession could improve his root bone, a rare effect that could remove a major obstacle to his cultivation. He left the chapter determined to find the extreme-yang spiritual object needed to refine and consume it.

• Han Yi read that the Blood Bone Spirit Flower matured through repeated transplants into different lands of extreme fiendish energy and that the flower he owned had three petals.
• Han Yi found the flower’s recorded effect: improving a cultivator’s root bone, which made him realize it could strengthen his poor cultivation aptitude.
• Han Yi concealed his excitement in the library, returned the catalog, and left after browsing for nearly half an hour.
• Han Yi returned to his courtyard, checked that the Blood Bone Spirit Flower was still in his storage pouch, and calmed himself after pacing in agitation.
• Han Yi recalled that the flower had to be refined with an extreme-yang spiritual object and resolved to find a way to consume it.

Han Yi visited the Nine Dragon Shop to find an extreme-yang spiritual object needed for the Blood Bone Spirit Flower. He chose to seek Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid by the drop and decided to ask He Fangwei about selling his universe pouch to afford it.

• Han Yi asked He Fangwei which extreme-yang spiritual objects the Nine Dragon Shop had available.
• He Fangwei showed Han Yi Redrock Fruit Pulp, Dragonbone Essence, Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid, and Blazing Bloodheart Lingzhi, then listed their prices.
• Han Yi realized the spiritual objects were far beyond his current budget and considered selling valuable possessions.
• He Fangwei explained that Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid could be divided and sold for 1,250 Medium-grade Spirit Stones per drop.
• Han Yi decided to sell his universe pouch and asked He Fangwei whether the shop bought them.

Han Yi exchanged his Spatial Storage Bag at Nine Dragon Shop for three drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid and learned that such bags could safely store magic treasures. After returning to Azure Dragon Peak, he met Sect Master Yuan Shun, who questioned him about Han Xuxiao pursuing him near the Myriad Demon Mountains.

• Han Yi offered his Spatial Storage Bag to He Fangwei, who confirmed its authenticity and arranged the exchange.
• He Fangwei offered Han Yi three drops of Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid for the bag, and Han Yi accepted the deal.
• He Fangwei explained that Spatial Storage Bags were valuable because they could store magic treasures without damaging them.
• Han Yi left Red Sun Market and encountered Yuan Shun on Azure Dragon Peak.
• Yuan Shun asked Han Yi whether Han Xuxiao had pursued him near the Myriad Demon Mountains, and Han Yi agreed that he believed so.

Han Yi refined the Blood Bone Spirit Flower with Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid and swallowed the resulting medicine, beginning a transformation through the Fireforce Profound Art. While he cultivated, the Myriad Demon Mountains mission ended and the sect’s rankings were unveiled; half a year later, Luo Yunzhou and others discussed the Earth Ranking and Qi Hong asked when Chu Jinmo would challenge the Battle Arts Platform.

• Han Yi told Yuan Shun that he still considered himself weaker than Han Xuxiao, and Yuan Shun praised him before leaving for Mystic Pill Peak.
• Han Yi refined the Blood Bone Spirit Flower, adjusted the Pure Yang Spiritual Liquid during the process, and swallowed the purified medicine to begin transforming his body.

• The Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings were unveiled, and You Wu became famous by defeating numerous Qi Refining cultivators on the Battle Arts Platform.
• Half a year later, Luo Yunzhou, Chu Jinmo, Yan Ru, and Qi Hong met at the Immortal Chess House, where Qi Hong asked Chu Jinmo when she would go onto the Battle Arts Platform.

After emerging from half a year of seclusion, Han Yi reunited with his fellow disciples and heard about You Wu’s rise, their expedition to the Myriad Demon Mountains, and the fierce Earth Ranking competition. He left them puzzled by their confidence that he could exceed their expectations, without revealing his own strength.

• Qi Hong and the others discussed the Earth Ranking, Han Yi’s long seclusion, and You Wu’s extraordinary achievements.
• Han Yi emerged from seclusion after fully digesting the Blood Bone Spirit Flower and joined the group at the jade table.
• Luo Yunzhou explained that “Mystic God Son” was a name he had casually proposed for You Wu, and the group discussed You Wu’s rare fire-attributed Heavenly Spirit Root.
• Luo Yunzhou and Yan Ru recounted their dangerous encounter with Blood God Sect cultivators in the Myriad Demon Mountains.
• Han Yi learned his companions’ Earth Ranking positions and heard Qi Hong advise him to aim first for the top nine hundred, while Chu Jinmo and Luo Yunzhou exchanged knowing looks.

Han Yi assessed how the Blood Bone Spirit Flower had greatly improved his cultivation aptitude and planned which skills to advance while quietly fulfilling his Earth Ranking matches. His routine was interrupted when Luo Yunzhou arrived, visibly furious, to ask him for help.

• Chu Jinmo told Han Yi she was leaving for a long time to travel far north, and Han Yi wished her a safe return.
• Han Yi reviewed his cultivation panel and realized the Blood Bone Spirit Flower had increased his cultivation speed by more than threefold.

• Luo Yunzhou came to Han Yi with suppressed fury and asked him for help.

Han Yi agreed to help Luo Yunzhou defend the Luo Clan’s spirit fields in Daofu City and traveled there with him. At the arbitration meeting, the rival Liu and Tang clans abandoned their claims of ownership and prepared to settle the dispute by strength.

• Luo Yunzhou explained that the Liu and Tang clans were pressuring the injured Luo Clan to surrender its spirit fields, and Han Yi agreed to help him.
• Han Yi and Luo Yunzhou rode a Calamity-Crossing Immortal Ship to Luofeng Commandery and reached Daofu City three days later.
• At the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, a Foundation Establishment official warned the three clans to accept the arbitration’s outcome and stop fighting afterward.
• Tang Xiangyu claimed the Tang Clan had owned the Luo Clan’s spirit fields three hundred years earlier, and Luo Wuzhou angrily disputed his account.
• Liu Heng challenged Tang Xiangyu’s history, but Luo Zhiguang cut off the arguments and said strength would decide ownership; Liu Heng and Tang Xiangyu agreed.

Han Yi entered the clan contest after the Luo Clan’s fighters were worn down and killed Tang Xiangyu with a powerful finger technique. With the Tang Clan fleeing, he faced the remaining Liu Clan, whose leader called on Young Master Zhao to fight.

• Luo Wuzhou defeated a Tang Clan elder but then lost to a Liu Clan fighter as the clans used successive bouts to exhaust the Luo Clan.
• Luo Anyang and Luo Zhiguang fought for the Luo Clan, and Zhiguang won his match despite being badly injured.
• Han Yi stepped into the arena and killed Tang Xiangyu with repeated blasts of spiritual energy, which onlookers identified as the Spirit Void Finger.
• The Tang Clan gathered Tang Xiangyu’s corpse and fled after Han Yi ordered them to leave.
• Liu Heng, alarmed by Han Yi’s strength, asked Young Master Zhao to take the field.

Han Yi won the arbitration for the Luo Clan after Zhao Li of the Heaven's Will Sect unexpectedly admitted defeat, then left Daofu City to return to his sect. On the road, thirteen hidden attackers trapped him in an array and accused him of ruining the Liu Clan's plans.

• Zhao Li clashed with Han Yi, then dispersed his Heaven's Will Blade and admitted defeat, claiming heaven's will had ordained it.

• Thirteen figures emerged around Han Yi, and one accused him of ruining the Liu Clan's plans and declared that he deserved to die.

Han Yi uncovered Liu Heng’s alliance with a band of robber cultivators and learned they had targeted the Luo Clan’s spirit fields. When the band moved to kill him, Han Yi attacked first, and the chapter ended as their leader used a bracer to shield himself from Han Yi’s dagger.

• Liu Heng identified Han Yi as the cultivator who had ruined his plans, while the robber cultivators questioned Liu Heng’s account.
• Liu Heng revealed that he had hired Zhao Li of the Heaven’s Will Sect to help seize the Luo Clan’s spirit fields, but Zhao Li had abandoned the fight after one strike.
• Han Yi pieced together the conflict among the Luo, Liu, and Tang Clans and decided he wanted no part in their dispute.
• Han Yi recognized the group’s concealment formation and launched an all-out attack with four flame-ringed daggers.
• The robber cultivators’ leader ordered his men to kill Han Yi, then activated a black bracer that spread a protective glow over his body as a dagger appeared before him.

Han Yi fought Liu Heng and the bandits inside a concealment formation, killing most of them before surviving the fierce-looking man’s Child-Mother God-Extinguishing Pearls at the cost of a severe wound to his left arm. After finishing the remaining bandits, Han Yi gathered the spoils and fled before Liu Heng could return with reinforcements.

• Han Yi’s four daggers killed seven of the fierce-looking man’s men, while Liu Heng fled from the fight.
• The fierce-looking man shattered his wristguard while blocking Han Yi’s dagger, then unleashed the Child-Mother God-Extinguishing Pearls.
• Han Yi retreated behind a flaming shield and talismans; the black ray badly wounded his left arm, while his Yin Thunder Talisman struck the four remaining cultivators.
