Chapter Summaries

Su Hao met Ji Ruyue at the Soaring Phoenix Palace and gave her a High-grade Dao Artifact, the Purple Moon Crimson Robe, as a first-meeting gift. Ji Ruyue questioned whether he was truly the Human King, but after their conversation she grew uncertain about subduing him and ordered a return gift for the next day.

• Su Hao kept the Immortal Peach in reserve, then used Reshaping Blood Jade to transform Ao Nu’s Bloodflame Dragon-Pattern Hegemony Blade into the Purple Moon Crimson Robe.

Su Hao acquired the Emperor Azure Extreme Origin Endowment and mastered the Barren Sky Soul, one of the Primordial Three Souls. Ji Ruyue learned that he had mastered the Sky and Earth Souls but still lacked the Human Soul, and Xu Luanxing visited him late that night.

• Xu Luanxing guided Su Hao through the Jade Pool Sacred Sect’s Thousand Jade Qiong Tower, where he chose the seemingly unimpressive Emperor Azure Extreme Origin Endowment.

• Xu Luanxing knocked on Su Hao’s door late at night.

Xu Luanxing approached Su Hao with a proposal to ally against the Jade Pool Sacred Sect and reclaim her former position as sect master, but Su Hao overwhelmed her with his sword intent. She briefly offered to become his maidservant, then fled when he refused to promise her anything.

• Xu Luanxing revealed her resentment toward Ji Ruyue and proposed they cooperate so she could reclaim the Jade Pool Sacred Sect's sect master position.
• Su Hao suppressed Xu Luanxing with his sword intent, dismissed her as an unworthy ally, and said she could qualify only as his slave and maidservant.
• Xu Luanxing knelt and offered to become Su Hao's maidservant if he helped her reclaim the position, but she hesitated and fled without an answer.

Su Hao stayed at the Jade Pool Sacred Sect while investigating Ji Ruyue’s intentions, as war between the dragon race and demonic forces devastated Tianyuan Continent.

Su Hao defeated Ji Chentai and saved Ji Ruyue, who explained how her family had sacrificed her to awaken her brother’s phoenix bloodline. After Su Hao urged her to gather the remaining Heavenly Maidens, Zhang Xingyou, the Jade Pool Sacred Sect’s ninety-third sect master, arrived and praised his power and audacity.

After absorbing the Phoenix Bone and growing more confident, Su Hao emerged five days later to find Ji Ruyue, Jade Pool Sacred Sect leaders, and eight women waiting for him.

• Zhang Xingyou explained the Human King's role, the Twelve Heavenly Maidens, and Jade Pool Heaven's plans, then accused Su Hao of stealing the Human King's destiny.

• Five days later, Su Hao left his courtyard intending to confront the Jade Pool Sacred Sect, and Ji Ruyue arrived with high-ranking figures and eight women.

Su Hao took the remaining Seven Heavenly Maidens from the Jade Pool Sacred Sect after Ji Ruyue warned him about the Human King and the Primordial Mother Lotus Crystal. Zhang Xingyou suspected Su Hao might be a tribulation of the Human King and sent Ji Ruyue to investigate Tianyuan Continent, while Su Hao returned to the Golden Light Sect and began cultivating in seclusion.

• Ji Ruyue told Su Hao that the Heavenly Maidens were incomplete and warned that the Heavenly Dao might restore the Human King's fate, then discovered Su Hao had already refined the Phoenix Bone.

• Li Zhuo arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain and respectfully asked Granny Golden Flower to see his master.

Li Zhuo cultivated the mysterious True Scripture of Creation in secret and rapidly advanced, while Su Hao gained a strand of Yin and Yang power and studied a supreme sword ability. The stalemated war on Tianyuan Continent worsened when both humans and dragons turned their attention to True Person Gan Zi’s exposed Myriad Souls Pagoda.

• Li Zhuo learned that True Person Gan Zi was away fighting the dragon race and that the Holy Master had entered seclusion, so he decided to try cultivating the True Scripture of Creation from his dreams.

• Su Hao absorbed power derived from the Primordial Mother Lotus Crystal through the Joyful Zen Sacred Art and gained a strand of Yin and Yang power, though he struggled to balance its extreme Yin.
• Su Hao stabilized the Yin-Yang power, then entered the mysterious space within the stone bearing the supreme divine ability to study the God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
• The human and dragon races shifted their attention to the Myriad Souls Pagoda after True Person Gan Zi inadvertently revealed the immortal artifact.

As the Dragon Clan war stalled, the Ghost Fiend Sect summoned its ancestor, Golden Bat Ghost King, who descended and trapped the gathered cultivators. Golden Bat Ghost King attacked True Person Gan Zi to seize the Myriad Souls Pagoda, but a decaying figure appeared and claimed the immortal artifact for himself.

• After a Netherworld Demonic Corpse forced the Dragon Clan to retreat, the Ghost Fiend Sect began summoning its ancestor in Duanhun Prefecture.
• Golden Bat Ghost King descended into the Chiqing Realm and vowed to lead the Ghost Fiend Sect in unifying it.

• Lord Ye Jiang revealed that he had followed True Person Gan Zi to investigate the Myriad Souls Pagoda, while Golden Bat Ghost King accused him of pretending to have spared the Ghost Fiend Sect.

• Su Hao told Ao Ning that he had killed Ao Nu and said he would send Ao Ning to join him.
• The sky darkened and a field of sharp swords filled the air, restricting the vision and divine senses of Lord Ye Jiang, Golden Bat Ghost King, and the Dragon Kings.

• Su Hao used the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse to kill Ao Ning, Ao Ming, Ao Yue, and Ao Chu, while the Myriad Souls Pagoda captured their souls.
• Lord Ye Jiang apologized to Su Hao and left after learning his identity, while Golden Bat Ghost King also tried to depart.
• Su Hao stopped Golden Bat Ghost King and attacked him with sword lights formed from spiritual power and divine sense.

• Su Hao used the Forbidden Word Curse to seal Golden Bat Ghost King's Primordial Spirit and drew him into the Myriad Souls Pagoda.
• Su Hao looked toward Lord Ye Jiang's concealed figure and asked whether he planned to save Golden Bat Ghost King.

After defeating the Golden Bat Ghost King, Su Hao used the Myriad Souls Pagoda and the God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse to annihilate the high-level Dragon Clan and Sea Clan forces across Tianyuan Continent. As he finished gathering spoils and ordered the hunt for survivors, he noticed a second sunlike fire in the stars and suspected the Immortal Realm Dragon Clan was responding.

• Lord Ye Jiang fled to the Myriad Corpse Sect station, shaken by Su Hao's power and the Golden Bat Ghost King's capture.
• Su Hao hunted the Ghost Fiend Sect, Dragon Clan, and Sea Clan, killing Chen Qianhe, Zhao Qianqiu, Huangfu Le, and numerous other cultivators with the God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse.
• The Myriad Souls Pagoda filled with the souls of slain Dragons and Sea Clan cultivators, while the Golden Bat Ghost King remained bound and watched its ranks grow.
• Su Hao told True Person Gan Zi, True Person Hundred Swords, the Heavenly Demon Son, and the other cultivators to mobilize their sects and hunt the remaining Dragon Clan within Tianyuan Continent.
• Su Hao collected Talent Power, storage rings, and two more Dragon Pearls, bringing his total to six, then noticed a small sunlike fire among the stars and wondered whether the upper realm's Dragon Lords sought revenge.

The Tathagata Zen Sect and other sacred lands received news of the Dragon Clan’s defeat, while Zhang Xingyou spotted a divine beast Golden Crow in the heavens. Back at Phoenix Perch Mountain, Su Hao reassured Little Cai, gave her and Little Jin Dragon Pearls from the fallen dragons, and learned that Li Zhuo had come looking for him.

• Master Yuanguang told Living Buddha Jie Kong that the Dragon Clan had been routed on the Tianyuan Continent and agreed to investigate the demon behind its defeat.
• Zhang Xingyou identified a crimson object in the distant heavens as a divine beast Golden Crow and left the Jade Pool Sacred Sect for a few days.
• Su Hao returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain, where Little Cai clung to him after fearing that something had happened to him.
• Su Hao explained Little Cai’s fear as a bloodline reaction to the deaths of many True Dragons and helped calm her with spiritual power.
• Su Hao gave six Dragon Pearls to Little Cai and Little Jin, then said that the Dragon Kings and other powerful aquatic Demon Cultivators who entered the Tianyuan Continent were dead.
• Granny Golden Flower told Su Hao that Li Zhuo had wanted to see him while he was in seclusion.

Su Hao inspected the Myriad Souls Pagoda, where the Golden Bat Ghost King remained trapped, then used Reshaping Blood Jade to refine talents taken from the Dragon Kings. After gaining several sword talents, he ran out of jade but still had a large stock of red talents to process.

• Su Hao told Granny Golden Flower to have True Person Gan Zi ask Li Zhuo about his strange dreams later, then assigned Jin Ji and her sisters to sort the captured storage treasures.
• Su Hao checked the Myriad Souls Pagoda and found the Golden Bat Ghost King still trapped and threatening him with the Demon Realm’s future invasion.
• Su Hao reviewed the four Dragon Kings’ red talents and decided their sea-based powers were too specific to absorb directly.
• Su Hao used Reshaping Blood Jade to turn the East Sea Dragon King’s Lord of the East Sea talent into Star Sword Heart, then chose that talent.
• Su Hao spent the remaining Reshaping Blood Jade to obtain Imperial Dao Sword Body, Slaughter Sword Intent, and Crimson Lotus Sword Immortal, leaving him with many red talents still to process.

Su Hao used the treasures he had acquired to strengthen the Buzhou Mountain Soul and began smelting a vast collection of artifacts, including the Heavenly Wood Sword Essence, in the Creation Molten Fire Pearl. He cultivated sword dao for five years while the world outside grew hotter beneath two suns.

• Su Hao gave the Buzhou Mountain Soul drops of the Essence of the Heavenly River and Guanyin's Sweet Dew Water, causing it to absorb them and enter a deep slumber.
• Su Hao gathered artifacts and rare materials from the Blood Sin Dragon and Jin Ji, then used the Creation Molten Fire Pearl to smelt them together with the Heavenly Wood Sword Essence.
• Su Hao refined eight Dragon King's talents into supreme sword-dao talents but found that they barely improved his sword-dao attainment.
• Su Hao immersed himself in sword-dao cultivation, mastering thirteen sword-dao divine abilities in one day and continuing for five years without reaching his limit.
• Two suns appeared in the sky, and the temperature of the Chiqing Realm continued to rise.

As the Golden Crow threatened the Chiqing Realm, Yu Xuanji realized it had come for her and sought to borrow Phoenix Perch Mountain’s Immortal Qi to gain the power to oppose it. She offered Su Hao the Star Brilliance Pearl, but the chapter ended before he answered.

• Little Cai took Xu Qing and disciples to nearby cities to shelter them from the drought, while Qin Yue stayed behind to cultivate.
• Yu Xuanji concluded that the Mystic Maiden Palace had sent the Golden Crow to capture her alive and decided she had to stop hiding.
• Yu Xuanji took the Star Brilliance Pearl from the Starry Secret Land and set out to ask Su Hao for access to Phoenix Perch Mountain.
• Yu Xuanji told Su Hao that Immortal Qi could help her condense the Moon Gazing Immortal Body, then offered him the Star Brilliance Pearl in exchange for permission to cultivate there.

Yu Xuanji returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain to cultivate and prepare to face the Golden Crow, while Su Hao lent her an immortal artifact and strengthened the mountain’s Immortal Qi. Su Hao tested his Sword Annihilation Great Curse by killing the Golden Bat Ghost King, advancing his cultivation toward mid-Mahayana and turning his attention to Lord Ye Jiang.

• Su Hao accepted the Star Brilliance Pearl from Yu Xuanji and allowed her to stay in her former pavilion on Phoenix Perch Mountain.
• True Person Hundred Swords gave Yu Xuanji the Mysterious Zen Lotus Immortal Jade Cushion to help her cultivate the Immortal Body and confront the Golden Crow.
• Su Hao increased the Immortal Qi available to Yu Xuanji by mobilizing the Buzhou Mountain Soul.
• Su Hao used the Sword Annihilation Great Curse twice to shatter the Golden Bat Ghost King’s Primordial Spirit, and the Myriad Souls Pagoda began refining his soul.
• The death of the Golden Bat Ghost King sent power into Su Hao’s sea of souls, raising his early-Mahayana cultivation progress to 60.9%.
• After completing five years of arduous cultivation and advancing his sword dao, Su Hao set his sights on Lord Ye Jiang of the Myriad Corpse Sect.

Su Hao tracked Lord Ye Jiang to the Immortal Burial Abyss and killed him, destroying his body and all 120,000 fragments of his Primordial Spirit. The upheaval frightened cultivators across the Chiqing Realm, and Lord Ming Jian began transcending his tribulation to ascend.

• Lord Ye Jiang hid in the Immortal Burial Abyss and planned to spend twenty years raising the Netherworld Demonic Corpse to the True Immortal Realm.
• Su Hao’s sword-path will spread across the Chiqing Realm, awakening Jie Kong with a chill and driving the demonic True Person Qing Niu out of his sealed ice mountain toward Tianyuan Continent.
• Su Hao found Lord Ye Jiang and destroyed the Netherworld Demonic Corpse; when Lord Ye Jiang fled as his Primordial Spirit and split into 120,000 fragments, Su Hao extinguished every one.
• Fifteen Mahayana cultivators gathered at the Crosscutting Mountains and feared the Golden Crow and the mysterious powerhouse might devastate the Chiqing Realm.
• Lord Ming Jian declared that he would ascend rather than remain in danger, ignored Dao Kuang’s accusation that he was abandoning the realm, and prepared to face the heavenly tribulation.

After Lord Ming Jian and several other cultivators failed to summon a heavenly tribulation in the Barren Ancient Domain, they decided to return to the inner realm. At Phoenix Perch Mountain, Su Hao reached mid-Mahayana and enhanced four treasures into immortal artifacts, then recognized a blood-eyed madman approaching the Golden Light Sect as True Person Qing Niu.

• Lord Ming Jian failed to trigger a heavenly tribulation, and Sha Luohan and three more cultivators suffered the same strange failure.
• The cultivators concluded the problem was not their strength and agreed to return to the inner realm of the Three Continents and Four Seas.
• Su Hao reached mid-Mahayana after killing Lord Ye Jiang, and three nine-colored flowers formed above his Primordial Spirit.
• Su Hao used Star Stones to upgrade the Heavenly Dragon Demon Subduing Pestle, Seven Treasures Wisdom Light Soul Lamp, Myriad Calamities Black Tortoise Armor, Sun Chasing Boots, and Eastern Emperor Tower into immortal artifacts.
• True Person Gan Zi and the others intercepted a blood-eyed old madman outside the Golden Light Sect, and Su Hao recognized him as True Person Qing Niu.
