Chapter Summaries

After ten years of growth, the Yang Family’s power and influence had expanded as Yang Feng captured demons for the Ninth District and Yang Fu prepared to cultivate beneath the Divine Tree of Life. The chapter ended with Yang Fuqing’s plans to relinquish her Heroes List position interrupted by news that several children in the family had badly hurt a neighbor’s child.

• Yang Feng captured an Earth Rat Demon squad at Moonwave Pool, mined Ice Crystal Stone, and took the demons back to be trained for work in the Heavenly Crafts Workshop.
• Yang Fu addressed the military, urging it to win over lower-class demons and prepare for a long war, then told Yang Fujian that Yang Feng had reached the Tenth-Level Golden Core.
• Yang Fu inspected the Divine Tree of Life, noted its growing spiritual-energy benefits, and began seclusion to advance his Qi Refining and thunder cultivation.
• Yang Fuqing directed her Intelligence Department to arrange housing for the growing number of demons in the Ninth District, offering Yang Qiangjing intelligence in exchange for the workshop’s help.
• Yang Fuqing considered giving up her Heroes List position when Yang Min rushed in and reported that her thirteenth and fourteenth younger brothers had beaten a neighbor’s child until he bled, frightening her fifteenth younger sister into fainting.

Yang Fuqing dealt with Thirteen and Fourteen’s latest mischief while Yang Genshuo reflected on how the Yang Family’s growing number of descendants could support its future. As the ten-year milestone arrived, he prepared to deliver a Tesla coil and arms factory to Yang Qiangjing, hoping they would help her develop firearms suited to the Cultivation World.

• Yang Fuqing sent Big Mao to retrieve Yang Minxiao and Yang Minyong after they bullied another child, while Yang Min apologized and promised to guide his younger brothers.
• Yang Genshuo reviewed the fourteen children born to Yang Qianglin and Yang Qiangyuan, praised their contribution to the family, and reconsidered his elite-only approach to raising the Yang Family’s strength.
• Yang Genshuo concluded that the Yang Family needed both talented descendants and a larger population to supply manpower for governing the Great Nai Empire.
• Yang Genshuo finished stabilizing his cultivation and planned to eat another Fruit of Wisdom after completing the ancestral rites.
• Yang Genshuo prepared to send Yang Fu a tested super-large Tesla Coil and move his completed arms factory to Yang Qiangjing, who could use it to develop firearms for the Cultivation World.

Yang Qiangjing unveiled an arms factory and Tesla Coils, then tried to help Yang Feng with his cultivation bottleneck, but he mistook her kindness for romantic interest and fled in embarrassment. After Yang Qiangwei told him to follow a family mission, Yang Feng visited Murong Ziyan for cultivation advice and took her invitation to call her “Aunt” as proof she had feelings for him.

• Yang Qiangjing brought an arms factory and two Tesla Coils to the ancestral rites, explaining that the coils could create Golden Core Tribulation Lightning and that the factory produced ammunition for the Yang Family’s weapons.
• Yang Feng admitted that he was stuck at a Tenth-Level Golden Core bottleneck, and Yang Qiangjing offered to obtain the Heaven-and-Earth Wonders he needed to advance.
• Yang Feng mistook Yang Qiangjing’s help for a confession, declared that he could not betray Yang Qiangwei, and fled Bright City after Yang Qiangjing angrily drove him away.
• Yang Qiangjing messaged Yang Feng to contact Murong Ziyan, and Yang Qiangwei reinforced the instruction by calling it a family mission.
• Yang Feng visited Murong Ziyan to ask about his cultivation, and she invited him to follow her and call her “Aunt.”

Yang Feng sought Murong Ziyan’s guidance on his Golden Core bottleneck, learned how to refine his Dao, and discovered why Nascent Soul cultivators could not return to the Twelve Dynasties. After Murong Ziyan blasted him with lightning, Yang Qiangjing’s Tesla Coils created a Thunder Spirit Land where Yang Fu began cultivating, while Yang Feng remained unconscious nearby.

• Yang Feng gave Murong Ziyan a ring of snacks, and she examined his Golden Core and advised him to clarify his heart, establish his will, and condense his Dao through his own comprehension.
• Yang Feng entered enlightenment, then asked how to reach Nascent Soul so he could eliminate the Feng Clan’s threat to the Yang Family.
• Murong Ziyan explained that Nascent Soul cultivators could not return to the Twelve Dynasties, leaving her unable to avenge her masters or defeat Feng Xin; Yang Feng tried to comfort her and was blasted away by her lightning.
• Yang Qiangjing’s Tesla Coils generated artificial lightning that gathered Thunder Spirit Power and transformed the workshop grounds into a thunder-element Spirit-Nurturing Land.
• Yang Genshuo and Liang Xuetong realized the Tesla Coils were converting spirit qi into Thunder Spirit Power, and Yang Qiangjing invited Yang Fu to cultivate there.
• Yang Fu endured the artificial tribulation lightning and absorbed the Thunder Spirit Power as his twelfth Spirit Pearl began to form, while Yang Feng woke nearby and begged Murong Ziyan to stop hitting him.

Yang Genshuo arranged for Yang Qiang to cultivate in the Earthcore Domain, where he planned to send him a Tesla Coil, while Yang Feng recovered and rushed back to cultivation to protect his standing as the Yang Family’s strongest. Yang Qiangjing then visited Yang Qiangzheng, who asked his brother to help him reach the Trial Tower’s hundredth floor.

• Yang Genshuo chose Yang Qiang as another ideal Tesla Coil user, but Yang Qiang could not install the huge device at Heavenly Mystery Sect without attracting attention.
• Yang Qiang enlisted Da Fan and Xiao Fan to take him to the Earthcore Domain, where they let him cultivate at their Earthcore Workshop as long as he did not leave through the domain’s exit.
• Yang Genshuo promised to send Yang Qiang a Tesla Coil on the next ancestral worship day and ordered Liang Xuetong’s team to build a second one.
• Yang Feng recovered from Murong Ziyan’s lesson, then abandoned his plan for a family meeting when he saw Yang Fu cultivating inside the Tesla Coil and hurried off to train.
• Yang Qiangjing visited Yang Qiangzheng, who emerged from the ground and asked his brother to help him pass the Trial Tower’s hundredth floor after being stuck there for ten years.

Yang Qiangjing explained that she had spent ten years unable to survive beyond the 83rd floor, then urged Yang Qiangzheng to challenge the Trial Tower because the Yang Family had little time left to claim its first 100th floor. Yang Qiangzheng entered the Elder Secret Realm with Little Green’s help, while Yang Qiangjing worried that other prodigies might clear the tower first.

• Yang Qiangjing recounted how her attempts to survive the Ten Thousand Demon Domain had ended in failure, with her longest run lasting three days and her cultivation reaching the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining.
• Yang Qiangzheng questioned the tower’s challenge, and Yang Qiangjing told him that only he could succeed in the Yang Family.
• Yang Qiangzheng arrived at bustling Trial Tower Town, where the crowd fled from him and he frightened Zhao Wuyin before Yang Qiangjing warned him to stop damaging the Great Nai Dynasty’s image.
• Yang Qiangjing sent Little Green to assist Yang Qiangzheng and urged him to reach the 80th floor, so he entered the Elder Secret Realm determined to act.
• Yang Qiangjing reflected that Human Race cultivators had grown stronger and that rival prodigies were advancing, leaving the Yang Family only ten attempts to claim the first 100th floor.

Zhao Wuyin learned about Yang Qiangzheng and decided to approach him as a potential business ally while Yang Qiangzheng entered the Trial Tower's fiftieth floor. There, Yang Qiangzheng unleashed his killing power to clear the floor for his younger sister, drawing on ten years of family-guided training and a Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus.

• Zhao Wuyin gathered information about Yang Qiangzheng and planned to befriend him to establish business in the Great Nai Dynasty.
• Yang Qiangzheng entered the fiftieth floor, where he faced a Demon Race tribe and resolved to clear it for Yang Qiangjing.
• Yang Qiangzheng slaughtered the tribe, absorbed its members' essence, and transformed into a Three Heads and Six Arms weapon of war.
• Yang Qiangzheng's family had spent ten years strengthening his body, refining his medicines, and choosing treasures suited to his limited comprehension.
• Yang Qiangjing had arranged for Yang Qiangzheng to use the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus, which reshaped his body and granted him additional talents.

Yang Qiangzheng blasted through the Trial Tower’s floors with his enhanced body, demon organs, and the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus, while Yang Qiangjing’s preparations and Little Green’s tactics helped him overcome different trials. He entered the true test on the eighty-first floor eager to learn how many punches a Golden Core Stage demon could endure.

• Yang Qiangzheng defeated the demon hero Demonflame in three punches and continued climbing without resting, relying on the strength and regenerative power granted by his modified body.
• He defeated Nightmare on the fifty-sixth floor with help from the soul defenses and arts of the Mad and Xuan Shuang flood dragon heads, then credited Yang Qiangjing for anticipating the challenge.
• Yang Qiangzheng cleared the encounter and army trials, following Little Green’s battlefield advice and using six M61 Vulcan Cannons against Foundation Establishment demons.
• Yang Genshuo explained that the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus had unlocked his Treasure Hunt Blessing and completed Yang Qiangzheng’s transformation into a formidable Foundation Establishment fighter.
• Yang Qiangzheng reached the eighty-first floor and wondered how many punches a Golden Core Stage demon could withstand.

Yang Qiangzheng survived the first five days of the Ten Thousand Demon Domain challenge by hiding, fighting, and using the Blood Calamity Method, but the Snow Eagle Lord cornered him on the sixth day. Meanwhile, Yang Qiangjing planned to enlist Zhao Wuyin to sell the Yang Family’s demon products as its finances worsened.

• Yang Qiangzheng used transformations and his senses to evade demons, then fought a Golden Core eagle demon and drove it away with the Blood Calamity Method.
• Yang Qiangzheng discovered that spreading misfortune among nearby demons reduced the danger to himself, helping him pass the third through fifth days.
• The Snow Eagle Lord and a flock of Snow Eagles tracked down and surrounded Yang Qiangzheng, trapping him when their ice powers froze the ground.
• After waiting sixteen days, Zhao Wuyin decided that selling demon products could help him rise within the Zhao Family and sought cooperation with the Yang Family.
• Yang Qiangjing reviewed Zhao Wuyin’s actions with Lu Renjia and decided to show him the Four Symbols Demon-Transformation Workshop as a possible supplier for his trade network.

Yang Genshuo watched Wonder Pill Pavilion collapse after the [Immortal Pill] was banned, leaving Yang Fushuo threatened by Ghostshadow Tower and urging him to flee home. Yang Fushuo refused, revealing his anger at the Yang Family for treating him as a tool and declaring he would rather die than return to refine pills for them.

• Yang Genshuo reviewed the financial strain caused by Wonder Pill Pavilion’s downfall and the costs of supporting the Great Nai Empire and its demons.
• The Alchemy Pavilion of Cloudveil Spirit Sect ordered [Immortal Pill] removed from sale, while Immortal Clans placed a bounty on Yang Fushuo and Ghostshadow Tower warned that its assassins would come in three days.
• Yang Genshuo found Yang Fushuo despondent in the Dragon God Immortal Palace and urged him to board a Treasure Ship home to the Great Nai Dynasty.
• Yang Fushuo rejected the plan because he could not bear returning in disgrace after dreaming of a glorious homecoming.
• When Yang Genshuo tried to reassure him that he could resume pill refining for the family, Yang Fushuo erupted, accused the Yang Family of using him as a tool, and refused to return even if it meant death.

Yang Genshuo recognized that the Yang Family had exploited Yang Fushuo and promised to let him choose his own future, then began printing Heavenly Mechanism Talismans to cover the Lineage’s lost income. In the Dragon God Immortal Palace, Little Flame Dragon confronted Yang Fushuo, admitted her fear of the Age of Great Strife, and offered to take him out by riding him.

• Yang Genshuo recalled how the Yang Family had relied on Yang Fushuo’s pill-making while neglecting his wishes and personal life.
• Yang Genshuo told Yang Fushuo that he no longer had to refine pills and that the Lineage would support whatever path he chose.
• Yang Genshuo decided to reform the Yang Family’s economy and printed Heavenly Mechanism Talismans to raise Spirit Stones for the empire’s founding.
• Little Flame Dragon descended to confront Yang Fushuo, who insulted her and the Dragon Clan until she unleashed her flames.
• Little Flame Dragon admitted she had feared acting during the Age of Great Strife and said she would take Yang Fushuo out of the Dragon God Immortal Palace by riding him.

Yang Fushuo was transformed into Little Flame Dragon’s mount and flew toward the Shangguan Clan while Ghostshadow Tower assassins pursued them. Meanwhile, Yang Qiangzheng remained missing from Trial Town as he spent the challenge’s later floors living among the Snow Eagle Clan, where he convinced the Snow Eagle Lord that he was a human-demon prodigy destined to become a Demon King.

• Little Flame Dragon infused Yang Fushuo with her essence, raised him to the Golden Core Stage, and used her Human Taming Technique to ride and control him.
• Yang Fushuo chose to visit an old acquaintance in the Shangguan Clan, and Ghostshadow Tower assassins set off to intercept him and kill him and Little Flame Dragon.
• After Yang Qiangzheng failed to emerge from the trial after twenty-one days, Zhao Wuyin worried that his business plans would collapse, then accepted Yang Qiangjing’s invitation delivered by Lu Renjia.
• Yang Qiangzheng enjoyed a feast in the Snow Eagle Lord’s camp and prepared to leave after five days among the Snow Eagle Clan.
• Yang Qiangzheng recalled how Yang Qiangjing had taught him that the later trial floors tested survival, then recounted fabricated military victories to convince the Snow Eagle Lord of his talent and demonic heritage.

Yang Qiangzheng entered Floor 91 and faced a chess game that recreated the Great Nai Dynasty, where a demonic attack and betrayal threatened Bright City. He realized the floor tested strategy and reached for the Mechanism Insect, only to discover he had left it behind.

• Yang Qiangzheng recalled surviving the Ten Thousand Demon Domain with the Mechanism Insect’s tactical help, then heard Yang Qiangjing’s predictions about the final ten floors.
• Yang Qiangzheng entered Floor 91 and learned that he could observe the people of the Great Nai Dynasty as chess pieces in a game called Chess of All Beings.
• Yang Qiangzheng used a Heavenly Mechanism Talisman to ask about the Liu and Yin Families, and the shadow began the first game, Demonic Qi Infusion.
• The shadow turned many pieces into traitors, and Yang Qiangzheng erupted in rage after seeing Yang Qiangjing’s chess piece shatter, but Yang Genshuo calmed him by explaining that the scene was fake.
• Yang Qiangzheng concluded that the floor tested strategy and tried to summon the Mechanism Insect, while the insect remained trapped on the rest platform between Floors 90 and 91.

Yang Qiangzheng reached the 90th floor of the Myriad Realms Trial Tower but lost the chess challenge through clumsy moves, while the announcement alarmed the Feng Clan. Feng Yi rejected a renewed war against the Yang Family and asked Shangguan to bring his grandson Feng Yang back to inherit the Feng Clan.

• Yang Qiangzheng forgot Little Green, mismanaged the chessboard despite Yang Genshuo's guidance, and lost the game after Bright City fell to the Demon Race.
• The Trial Rankings announced that Yang Qiangzheng had broken through the 90th floor and taken first place, shocking cultivators across the Twelve Dynasties and alarming the Feng Clan.
• Feng Clan elders argued over attacking the Great Nai Dynasty, but Feng Yi reflected on the clan's decline and questioned whether its path had been wrong.
• Feng Yi said he wanted his grandson Feng Yang to return and inherit the Feng Clan, and he asked Shangguan to bring his friendship and the Primordial Jar to the Yang Family.

Yang Qiangzheng cleared the ninetieth floor of the Trial Tower, while the Liu and Yin families plotted against the Yang Family. Later, Feng Yi sent the Primordial Jar to Yang Feng, whose meeting with the Primordial Coin accidentally opened a Spatial Rift before the treasures separated and the danger passed.

• Yang Qiangzheng emerged from the Elder Secret Realm after reaching the ninetieth floor, ate a spirit chicken, and left Trial Town as rumors about him spread.
• Cultivator Douyang, Liu Changye, and Yin Zhichou met secretly and complained about the Yang Family’s growing power, with Yin Zhichou coveting Yang Qiangzheng for his clan.
• Yang Feng picked up Yang Qiangzheng and brought him back to Bright City, where Yang Qiangzheng explained that he avoided relationships because he did not want to pass on his painful constitution.
• Shangguan Yixin arrived with Feng Yi’s offer of a state banquet and the Primordial Jar, prompting Yang Feng to demand proof of Feng Yi’s sincerity.
• The Primordial Coin and Primordial Jar joined and created a coin domain that opened a Spatial Rift, but Yang Fu and Yang Feng helped end the danger by separating the treasures.
• Yang Feng suspected Feng Yi had tried to kill the Yang Family, but Yang Qiangjing concluded the rift had been an accident, and Shangguan Yixin said Feng Yi had insisted on giving Yang Feng the jar.

Yang Feng received the Feng Clan’s [Primordial Jar], but its rejection status left him unable to use its full power without the clan’s recognition. As the Yang Family weighed Feng Yi’s motives and the strategic deadlock around defeating him, Yang Qiangjin proposed that Yang Feng travel to the Mystic Spirit Continent to merge the jar with the [Primordial Coin].

• Yang Feng sensed that the [Primordial Jar] recognized his bloodline, while Yang Genshuo’s item card showed that the clan’s rejection limited its power and warned that merging it with the [Primordial Coin] in the Great Nai Dynasty could trigger spatial turbulence.
• Yang Fuqing suspected Feng Yi had given Yang Feng the jar to lure him back to the Feng Clan, while Yang Feng rejected Feng Yi’s goodwill and Yang Qiangjin agreed to let Shangguan Yixin take his people away after the matter was settled.
• Shangguan Yixin left for a meal at the Four Symbols Demon Transformation Workshop and privately hoped the Yang Family and Feng Clan would reconcile until he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm and break Yang Qiangjin’s contract.
• Yang Fujian argued that Feng Yi might have acted out of love for his family, and Yang Feng recalled his father Feng Xun and aunt Feng Ruoxi as reasons to consider that possibility.
• Yang Genshuo explained the Feng Yi Killing Paradox: the Feng Clan’s [Primordial Jar] and Feng Xin made it too strong to defeat, while Yang Feng’s advancement to the Nascent Soul Realm would prevent him from returning to the Great Nai Dynasty.
• Yang Feng offered to take over as Feng Clan head, but Yang Qiangjin proposed sending him to the Mystic Spirit Continent to merge the two artifacts first.

The Yang Family debated the return of Great Nai’s displaced mortals and postponed sending Yang Feng to fuse two Magical Treasures. On the Mystic Spirit Continent, Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon captured six Ghostshadow Tower assassins, secured the Tower’s promise to leave his family alone, and set out to confront those who had harmed his Wonder Pill Pavilion.

• Yang Feng and other relatives opposed Yang Qiangjing’s proposal to send him to the Mystic Spirit Continent, while Yang Fu explained to Yang Min why the Yang Family needed to bring displaced mortals home.
• Yang Feng decided to delay fusing the Magical Treasures and keep them, and Yang Qiangjing agreed to wait and see what Feng Yi did next.
• Yang Qiangjing asked Shangguan Yixin to teach her two songs before he left, then turned her attention to earning Spirit Stones for Zhao Wuyin.
• Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon pursued six Ghostshadow Tower assassins, and Little Flame Dragon used six Fire Dragons to capture them alive.
• Yang Fushuo negotiated the assassins’ release in exchange for Ghostshadow Tower promising not to accept missions against him or the Yang Family.
• Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon set off to confront the people responsible for the losses at his Wonder Pill Pavilion.

Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon confronted the Wang Immortal Clan over its attempt to kill him and its opposition to his [Immortal Pill] business. After Wang Daoxian killed Wang Anshan and surrendered to Yang Fushuo’s demands, Yang Fushuo left for the Zhao Family, while Yang Genshuo worried about how much he had changed.

• Yang Genshuo urged Yang Fushuo to stop selling [Immortal Pills], but Yang Fushuo refused and had Little Flame Dragon break through the Wang Immortal Clan’s gates.
• Wang Anshan accused Yang Fushuo of harming the Wang Family’s younger generation, and Wang Daoxian tried to appease Yang Fushuo with compensation and promises.
• Yang Fushuo decided Wang Anshan could not be spared, so Wang Daoxian killed his own son to protect the clan.
• Yang Fushuo demanded double compensation and ordered the Wang Family to sell [Immortal Pills], then made Wang Daoxian swallow a hundred pills.
• Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon headed for the Zhao Family, while Yang Genshuo worried that Yang Fushuo had changed.

Yang Fushuo used Little Flame Dragon to attack the Zhao Family and the Book Sect, but learned the Book Sect had not ordered his assassination. The Heavenly Mystery Sect intervened to confront Little Flame Dragon, while Yan Wujie admitted he had concealed his role in the assassin proposal, leaving Yang Fushuo furious and disillusioned.

• Yang Fushuo attacked the Zhao Family, broke its grand formation, and forced Zhao Yueshang to surrender wealth after executing a steward.
• Yang Fushuo and Little Flame Dragon confronted the Book Sect, whose leaders defended their ban on [Immortal Pills] and denied ordering assassins to kill him.
• Two Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Spirit Nexus and Jade Balance, sealed Little Flame Dragon inside a hidden space to confront her.
• Yan Wujie admitted that he had agreed to the assassin proposal from the two families, claiming he had used a narrative trick rather than lied.
• Yang Fushuo realized that the powerful treated the weak as expendable, and the last of his kindness vanished.

As the Yang Family faced rising expenses and a cash shortage, Yang Genshuo assigned Yang Qiangyou a future trip to the Ghostshadow Tower black market. Three months later, Yang Fujian founded the Great Nai Empire in Bright City, where the Divine Tree of Life empowered many citizens and raised the city’s spiritual energy; Murong Ziyan then asked Liu Changqing to identify the tree.

• Yang Genshuo considered the Yang Family’s financial pressures as Yang Qianglin’s household expanded, and decided to sell Heavenly Mechanism Talismans for emergency Spirit Stones.
• Yang Genshuo asked Yang Qiangyou to visit the Ghostshadow Tower black market next year, and Yang Qiangyou eagerly agreed.
• Yang Fujian declared the Great Nai Empire founded before gathered humans, demons, and mortals, and promised equal protection, public oversight of resources, and resistance to wicked demons.
• The Divine Tree of Life absorbed Faith Power, strengthened many citizens, increased its growth rate, and raised Bright City’s spiritual energy concentration.
• Cultivator Douyang and Murong Ziyan discussed the tree’s extraordinary nature, and Murong Ziyan asked Liu Changqing whether he recognized it.
