Chapter Summaries

The Darkwater Heavenly Army discussed Su Hao’s apparent defeat and planned to retrieve their captured comrades, while Su Hao concealed his strength and tallied the rewards from the Devil Race. After inspecting a precious drop of Dragon Ancestor Essence Blood, he summoned Little Cai, who arrived dressed in a crimson gown.

• The generals mocked Su Hao’s apparent injuries and argued over recovering the Primordial Spirits of Kuang Yue, Fu Anzai, and Canglang; Divine General Chi Chen decided to visit the Chiqing Realm himself.
• Li Baosheng warned Chi Chen that confronting Su Hao could worsen the Darkwater Heavenly Army’s relationship with the Heavenly Court, but Chi Chen insisted he knew his limits.
• Su Hao returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain, concealed his strength and healed his injuries, hoping the Darkwater Heavenly Army would believe his act and send more demons for him to defeat.
• Su Hao processed the Talent Powers from five thousand Devil Race members and Thousand Corpse Demon, gaining cultivation progress, Dao Artifacts, pills, and a drop of Dragon Ancestor Essence Blood.
• Su Hao considered the essence blood’s benefits and decided it was too precious to give to Gan Zi and the others, then sent a mental message to Little Cai.
• Little Cai bathed, changed into a fitted crimson gown, and entered Su Hao’s cave dwelling.

Su Hao gave Little Cai the Dragon Ancestor Essence Blood and helped her absorb it, then sensed Luo Yujie’s return to the Chiqing Realm. Luo Yujie confronted Ji Ruyue over her delayed ascension and warned that her estrangement from the Human King could prevent her from becoming an immortal.

• Little Cai asked Su Hao to have a child with her, and he promised they would do so when the Three Realms were safe while urging her to cultivate diligently.
• Su Hao gave Little Cai the Dragon Ancestor Essence Blood, and she swallowed it so he could help her absorb its power.
• After half a year, Su Hao calculated that Little Cai would need about twenty years to absorb the essence blood completely.
• Luo Yujie arrived at Phoenix Perch Mountain, where Ji Ruyue greeted her.
• Luo Yujie criticized Ji Ruyue for delaying her ascension and warned that her grudge with the Human King could cost her the chance to become an immortal.

Luo Yujie visited Ji Ruyue before bringing Jade Pool Heaven’s congratulations to Su Hao for his appointment as a Divine General. Su Hao emerged from seclusion to meet her, and she presented a treasure personally bestowed by the Lord of Jade Pool.

• Luo Yujie mocked Ji Ruyue for failing to win Su Hao’s favor, but Ji Ruyue said she had accepted her circumstances and was content with her life.
• Luo Yujie brought Treasure Moon Immortal Fruits to the Six-Tusked White Elephant, which welcomed her to wait for Su Hao.
• Su Hao emerged from seclusion after hearing the Six-Tusked White Elephant eat the fruits and considered Jade Pool Heaven’s standing as a great power.
• Luo Yujie congratulated Su Hao on his promotion, noting that he had not yet accepted the Heavenly Court’s conferment or refined his immortal official token.
• Luo Yujie gave Su Hao a jadeite box containing a congratulatory treasure personally bestowed by the Lord of Jade Pool.

Luo Yujie gave Su Hao an Eight-Pattern Law-Gathering Mystic Fruit and offered to share an Immortal Emperor’s estate, but he refused the estate to focus on his cultivation. Their conversation was interrupted when Divine General Chi Chen arrived and called Su Hao out.

• Luo Yujie explained the Mystic Fruit’s great value, and Su Hao calmly accepted it.
• Luo Yujie offered to share an Immortal Emperor’s estate with Su Hao, but he refused because he would not leave his cultivation at a critical juncture.
• Su Hao called Gan Zi to entertain Luo Yujie, but she declined and prepared to leave.
• Divine General Chi Chen’s voice shook the Chiqing Realm as he called for Su Hao, who asked whether Chi Chen was dissatisfied with their last fight.

Su Hao confronted Chi Chen, who demanded the celestial generals’ primordial spirits and tried to overpower him with the strength of the heavenly army. Su Hao revealed that he could control the Sword Annihilation Great Curse well enough to defeat Chi Chen’s manifestation, leaving Chi Chen shocked but still insisting that his divine armor and army’s power counted as his strength.

• Chi Chen demanded the three primordial spirits, and Su Hao followed him into the void after the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle concealed their fight from onlookers.
• Chi Chen drew on the power of thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and struck Su Hao with a giant ape’s world-shaking punch.
• Su Hao cut apart the punch with a strand of black Sword Qi and trapped Chi Chen beneath the Sword Annihilation Great Curse’s black rain.
• Chi Chen raised the army’s blessing to fifty thousand soldiers, but Su Hao’s sword rain rapidly eroded his manifestation and slightly damaged his divine armor.
• Su Hao ended the attack and admitted he had hidden his strength against the Thousand Corpse Demon, while Chi Chen protested that his divine armor was part of his strength.

After bargaining with Divine General Chi Chen, Su Hao used an Eight-Pattern Law-Gathering Mystic Fruit to advance the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse to major accomplishment. He rejected the shortcut of forming a Yin-Yang Dao Fruit dependent on another and returned to studying the Restriction Dao Fruit.

• Su Hao sent Divine General Chi Chen away with Kuang Yue, Fu Anzai, and Daoist Grey Wolf's three Primordial Spirits after extracting a ransom from him.
• Luo Yujie realized Su Hao had contended with Chi Chen, and Su Hao declined to explain how he fought without refining his divine armor.
• Su Hao absorbed the Eight-Pattern Law-Gathering Mystic Fruit, which strengthened his Sword Annihilation Great Curse and his power of Yin and Yang.
• After twenty years of cultivation, Su Hao advanced the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands God Annihilation Sword Extinguishes Great Curse to major accomplishment and gained the power to slay an Immortal King.
• The old monk and Daoist Taiqing noticed Su Hao's swift progress in Yin and Yang, while Su Hao decided not to pursue a dependent Yin-Yang Dao Fruit.
• Su Hao resumed studying the Restriction Dao Fruit, while Little Cai continued absorbing the Dragon Ancestor Essence Blood.

Chi Chen returned to the Darkwater Heavenly Army camp with the Primordial Spirits of Daoist Grey Wolf, Kuang Yue, and Fu Anzai, then ordered Li Baosheng to secretly collect Devil Race Primordial Spirits. He was left alone, grimly facing the terms Su Hao had forced on him: one million devil soldier Primordial Spirits or two hundred thousand True Devil Primordial Spirits.

• Chi Chen returned to camp with the three generals’ Primordial Spirits, and the heavenly generals initially celebrated what they assumed was a victory over Su Hao.
• Daoist Grey Wolf and Kuang Yue regained their senses, while Fu Anzai remained vacant, his cultivation having fallen six levels and his immortal power draining away.
• Chi Chen ordered Springwood Immortal Lord to treat Fu Anzai and assigned Duan Rong to watch over him until she arrived.
• Chi Chen instructed Li Baosheng to secretly gather one hundred thousand devil soldier Primordial Spirits or twenty thousand True Devil Primordial Spirits within ten years.
• After Li Baosheng left, Chi Chen brooded over Su Hao’s demand for one million devil soldier Primordial Spirits or two hundred thousand True Devil Primordial Spirits, a price he knew would be difficult to meet.

Di Feng and five Golden Crows reached the Chiqing Realm to retrieve a stranded member of their clan and met the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle. The turtle warned Di Feng to stay polite and avoid fighting anyone, leaving him to suspect a powerful expert lived in the realm.

• Di Feng sensed the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle and introduced himself and his companions as members of the Golden Crow Clan.
• Di Feng told the turtle that he had come to bring a stranded Golden Crow home, and the turtle allowed them to proceed.

• Di Feng recognized Su Hao as the Heavenly Court’s Netherwater Demon-Suppressing Divine General and praised his abilities.
• Su Hao questioned why the Golden Crows had survived despite rumors of their near extinction, and Di Feng declared that his clan would never serve the Heavenly Court.

Su Hao faced Di Feng and the other Golden Crows, who had come to take Di Han home, but Di Han insisted on staying with him. When Di Ping tried to stop her, Su Hao swiftly incapacitated all five visitors.

• Su Hao defended Di Han’s freedom and told her to enter the cave abode while he handled the Golden Crows.
• Di Ping tried to intercept Di Han, but Su Hao struck swiftly, suppressing the five Golden Crows’ powers and binding them in place.

Di Feng withdrew after recognizing that Su Hao was too powerful to challenge, while Di Ping criticized his caution before realizing the five Golden Crows had no chance against Su Hao. At Phoenix Perch Mountain, Su Hao heard how the Golden Crow Clan repeatedly lost its bid for control of the Immortal Realm, and the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle warned that the clan might be rebuilding its strength.

• Di Feng told Di Ping that Su Hao's perfected Soaring Divine Ability and Dao Fruit made him too dangerous to fight, then left to report to the clan elders.
• Di Ping argued that the Golden Crows should have risked fighting, but her companions warned that attacking a Heavenly Court divine general could provoke the Heavenly Court and that the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle's stance was uncertain.
• Di Feng heard Di Ping's complaints as he flew away and reflected that the Golden Crows' arrogance had repeatedly brought disaster upon their clan.
• Di Ping abandoned her plan to return to the Chiqing Realm after realizing that the five of them could not overcome Su Hao's seal.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant and Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle told Su Hao how the Golden Crow Clan had repeatedly failed to seize power and retreated to its ancestral land.
• Su Hao dismissed the present-day Golden Crows as a weakened remnant, while the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle warned that they might be secretly rebuilding their strength.

• Di Feng exhausted nearly all his immortal power and Sun True Fire after more than a hundred breaths, but kept his gaze fixed on Su Hao.

Su Hao demanded compensation from Di Feng after defeating him, but Di Cance arrived and offered a Nine Yang Immortal Herb with Solar Gold Dew to heal Di Han. After Di Feng left, Di Cance questioned Su Hao about his Dao Fruit and Heavenly Court post, and Su Hao challenged him about the Golden Crow’s disappearance.

• Di Feng balked at giving Su Hao five drops of essence blood, so Su Hao threatened him with the World Annihilation Sword.
• Di Cance arrived and offered Su Hao a box containing a Nine Yang Immortal Herb and Solar Gold Dew as compensation for Di Feng.
• Di Cance explained that Su Hao had sought the essence blood to treat Di Han, and Di Feng accepted his rebuke before departing.
• Di Cance thanked Su Hao for sparing Di Feng and asked about the sealing power of his Dao Fruit and his plans to take up his post.
• Su Hao asked Di Cance how he knew so much about the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Court despite the Golden Crow’s disappearance.

Di Han recovered with the Nine Yang Immortal Herb and Solar Gold Dew while Su Hao advanced his cultivation. Little Cai emerged from her cocoon with the Dragon Ancestor's inheritance, and the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle questioned how she had gained her ancestral aura.

• Di Han accepted Su Hao's gift of the Nine Yang Immortal Herb and one drop of Solar Gold Dew, then refined them under his protection to heal her foundation.
• Over two years, Su Hao raised his cultivation with immortal pills and the remaining Solar Gold Dew.
• Little Cai's cocoon trembled, and Su Hao asked the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle to conceal the Dragon's Roar and its phenomenon within the Chiqing Realm.
• Little Cai emerged as a five-colored true dragon, then returned to human form and told Su Hao she had received part of the Dragon Ancestor's inheritance.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle examined Little Cai and asked whether she had obtained the Dragon Ancestor's essence blood.

Su Hao secured the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle’s promise to protect him and learned why divine-beast descendants needed their ancestors’ essence to pursue ancestral reversion. After Little Cai refined Dragon Ancestor essence blood and gained a powerful inheritance, five Dragon Lords gathered over signs that a sixth Dragon Lord had appeared.

• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle asked Su Hao to inquire of Taiqing about the Divine Ao’s whereabouts or essence blood, and Su Hao agreed after explaining his ties to Taiqing and Cheng Zhen.

• The Dragon Lords suspected that a sixth Dragon Lord had emerged and discussed how Dragon Emperor Ao Lie’s bloodline and fortune had already been divided among them.

During his seclusion, Su Hao created the Dragon Tide Seal, then answered Zhan Xuan’s call for help in the Nine Heavens Thunder Abyss. He confronted Xuan Songzi, whose strange Taiji jade pendant had overwhelmed Zhan Xuan, and sealed the pendant’s power with his Restriction Dao Fruit.

• Su Hao developed the Dragon Tide Seal and spent three more years cultivating while sharing Little Cai’s benefits with the Twelve Heavenly Maidens.
• Su Hao received Zhan Xuan’s cry for help and sent a clone through the God Descent Token to the Nine Heavens Thunder Abyss.
• Su Hao found Zhan Xuan badly injured and learned that Xuan Songzi had defeated him with a jade pendant that transformed the abyss’s lightning into Taiji qi.
• Xuan Songzi attacked Su Hao with the Taiji sphere, but Su Hao’s strongest sword art failed to break through it.
• Su Hao activated his Restriction Dao Fruit and sealed the surrounding immortal power and treasures, causing the Taiji sphere to shatter and the jade pendant to dim.

Su Hao refined the black-and-white fish jade pendant and discovered it contained the unclaimed Taiji Dao Fruit, then continued cultivating until Divine General Chi Chen came to challenge him. Su Hao sent an avatar to fight Chi Chen, and the chapter ended as his Taiji vortex reflected Chi Chen’s first blade strike back at him.

• Su Hao refined the black-and-white fish jade pendant and, after three years of comprehension, recognized its power as the unclaimed Taiji Dao Fruit.
• Su Hao continued secluded cultivation, while Divine General Chi Chen arrived outside the Chiqing Realm with one hundred thousand Devil Race primordial spirits.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle appeared to confront Chi Chen, but Su Hao stopped him and chose to face Chi Chen with an avatar.
• Chi Chen attacked Su Hao’s avatar with the Prison-Suppressing Bloodfire Blade, and Su Hao’s Taiji vortex absorbed the strike and sent it back toward Chi Chen.

Su Hao’s avatar defeated Chi Chen by sealing his cultivation and severing his divine armor’s connection, then returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain with the crystal sphere. Chi Chen fled toward the Darkwater Realm, while the Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle waited outside Su Hao’s cave and spoke to the Six-Tusked White Elephant.

• Su Hao’s avatar seized the crystal sphere and used a Restriction Dao Fruit seal to disable Chi Chen and his divine armor.

• Su Hao’s avatar returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain with the crystal sphere, while Su Hao remained focused on condensing a Dao Fruit.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle waited outside Su Hao’s cave, decided not to disturb him, and approached the Six-Tusked White Elephant.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle praised the elephant’s master, and the Six-Tusked White Elephant jolted and demanded to know whose master it meant.

The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle questioned how Su Hao came to possess the Joyful Zen Sacred Art and whether powerful Buddhist and Daoist figures were guiding his fate. Their discussion turned to the Divine Ao ancestor’s sacrifice, leaving the Six-Tusked White Elephant defending its legacy and longing to achieve comparable merit.

• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle asked whether the Six-Tusked White Elephant had given Su Hao the Joyful Zen Sacred Art, and the Elephant said it had learned the art from a stone stele and given it to Su Hao by its own choice.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle suggested the Elephant’s decision might have been part of a plan by the World Honored One, and the Elephant admitted that such control over events was possible.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle connected Su Hao’s yin-yang power to the Taiji Dao Fruit and suspected Buddhist and Daoist powers were arranging matters around him.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant argued that Dao Fruits had no inherent Buddhist or Daoist ownership and predicted Su Hao would pursue many more, perhaps undiscovered, Dao Fruits.
• The Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle contrasted its own fortune with the Elephant’s, then recalled how the Divine Ao’s feet had been taken to support the heavens.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant defended the Divine Ao’s sacrifice as supreme glory and privately longed to make a similarly great contribution to heaven and earth.

Su Hao mastered the Taiji and Restriction Dao Fruits and discovered that, as Taiji’s Dao Master, he could oversee everyone cultivating that path. Meanwhile, the Six-Tusked White Elephant gave Di Han Immortal pills to help her grow stronger.

• The Six-Tusked White Elephant worried that Su Hao had outpaced it and swallowed more than half of the Jade Light Qi Source Pills it had received.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant gave the remaining pills to Di Han and urged her to cultivate harder.
• Su Hao fully mastered the Taiji and Restriction Dao Fruits and learned how Taiji could transform myriad powers and stabilize yin and yang.
• Su Hao realized his authority as Taiji’s Dao Master let him decide who could cultivate or use Taiji.
• Su Hao surveyed the cultivators following the Taiji path and found thirty-seven, including several ninth-rank Immortal Kings and three whose circumstances he could not discern.
