Chapter Summaries

The group opened the hidden gate beneath Kuini Mountain and entered a chamber filled with ancient treasures and lost sect arts. Kong Lian recognized several legendary Dao arts among the jade manuscripts.

• Miss Zhilin drew her Sunken Heaven Stone saber and said she would keep it ready in case the chamber held a mechanism.
• Huxia and Kong Mu teased Zhilin about her role as the Dao Lord’s bodyguard, unsettling her with the possibility that she would be replaced.
• Kong Lian urged Kong Mu to guide the Dao Lord and prove herself, and Kong Mu tossed illumination crystals through the partly opened gate.
• The group entered the subterranean palace and found surviving ore, jade manuscripts, and ancient treasures throughout the chamber.
• Kong Lian recognized the Evil Thought Chasing Light Art and the Dao Heaven Imperial Heaven Technique as long-lost ancient sect arts.

I uncovered a hidden chamber in the Kuini Mountain Sect secret realm and revealed a complete set of Heaven-grade Slay Heaven Dao formulas. The chapter ended with the iridescent treasure pearl at the chamber’s center standing out as the greatest discovery.

• I explained that the Earth-grade Dao formulas would be lent out according to everyone's needs, then clearing them away revealed concealed doors and crystal sockets.
• Kong Lian explained that the hidden doors required restored formation energy, while Zhi Lin found that the Heaven-Piercing Demonic Qi made inserting crystals useless.
• I used Heaven-Sinking Stone dust to grind a hole through a Kuini Stone door and pulled the damaged door free.
• I entered the hidden chamber and found six boxes containing Slay Heaven Dao formulas covering six disciplines, along with a central iridescent treasure pearl.

The narrator recovered the Slaying Heaven Art and arranged for suitable Heavenly Dao Sect disciples to access its cultivation arts through a stele. He also claimed the mysterious Eight Desolations sphere and moved on with the group to explore the remaining secret doors.

• Kong Lian recognized the Slaying Heavenly Dao Formula as a long-lost Heaven-tier cultivation art and praised the narrator for sharing it with the sect.
• The narrator collected the formula and said it would be placed on a cultivation-art stele for disciples with the right aptitude.
• Kong Mu asked whether the other cultivation arts would also be made available, and the narrator agreed to connect them to the stele.
• The narrator inspected a sealed sphere labeled Eight Desolations, and Kong Lian guessed that it might preserve historical records.
• The narrator kept the sphere for private study, and the group proceeded to open the other secret doors.

Yitian and the others explored another underground ore vault in the Kuiyi Mountain Sect and discovered a sealed box containing a tiny mass of living soil from beyond the heavens. After testing it, they learned that it could enlarge and strengthen ores it infected, leaving them to consider how best to use it.

• Yitian opened a hidden ore gate, and the group found a large store of Kuiyi stone and unfamiliar minerals.
• Xian Li pointed out carefully preserved ore samples, while Ling Zhao identified Heaven-Sinking Stone powder and Kong Lian recognized other minerals from Central Origin Continent.
• Fox Xia noticed a sealed but apparently empty box, and Zhi Lin found it unusually heavy.
• Ling Zhao found a nameplate marked "Living Soil," and Mei Yao read that the material could infect ores and enlarge them.
• Yitian opened the Seal and tested the living soil on black ore, confirming that it tripled the ore's size and hardness and that the material shrank back when separated from the infection.

The group recovered the innate Breath-Soil and the treasures and ore from the underground site, confirming that the Breath-Soil could enlarge Heaven-Sinking Stone weapons. Back at Fenglan City, I and Bai Cheng completed all thirty-six Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones and began linking them with massive Kuiyi Stone chains.

• I and Meiyao discussed using the innate Breath-Soil to enlarge Heaven-Sinking Stone weapons and potentially expand the Heaven-Suppressing Formation.
• I sealed the living earth, ordered the ore gathered under supervision, and led the group to the treasure store, where the Breath-Soil enlarged a small Heaven-Sinking Stone spear to full size.
• Kong Lian praised the potential of expanding the Heaven-Suppressing Formation, while I noted the cost of making thirty-six Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones and the need to upgrade Fenglan City's power furnaces.
• The group brought the ore, treasures, and Kuiyi Stone structures back to Fenglan City, which moved to a safer location away from the devilish energy.
• I built another Gold-Transforming Furnace and worked with Bai Cheng to refine all thirty-six Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones in less than ten days.
• The Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones were placed at the formation nodes around Fenglan City, and massive Kuiyi Stone chains were gradually completed to connect them.

The narrator activated Windmist City's Heaven-Suppressing Formation using Primordial Breath Soil, which enlarged its Mountain Sect ore components and caused enormous energy consumption. During preheating, the formation began absorbing and purifying Heaven-Piercing Demonic Qi, and Mei Yao explained how the special Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones made this possible.

• The narrator placed Primordial Breath Soil in the formation's central eye, causing the connected Mountain Sect ore swords and chains to grow several times larger.
• Windmist City sank under the increased weight, but Shana's adjustments to the power furnace prevented a mishap.
• After disciples confirmed the formation stones were stable, the narrator connected the formation to Windmist City's power furnace and opened its curtain of light.
• Shana warned that the formation's energy consumption was so high it might not last an hour, and the narrator began its preheating with the control formation disk.
• The formation's pillar of light appeared and it began absorbing and purifying Heaven-Piercing Demonic Qi, which Mei Yao attributed to the special power of the Mountain Sect ore swords.

Shana and the others discovered that the Heaven-Suppressing Formation could convert thin demonic energy into stored power, allowing Windveil City to sustain itself without the power furnace. They learned that dense demonic energy or enemy attacks could overwhelm the formation, leaving its future strength dependent on stored energy and Mu Crystal reserves.

• Shana noticed that the power furnace was still consuming energy, and I explained that the Heaven-Suppressing Formation was storing power drawn from both the furnace and demonic energy.
• I showed the group that the Heaven-Suppressing Swordstone was only four percent full, and Shana cut off the power furnace so the formation could recharge from Heavenreach Mountain’s demonic energy.
• Kong Mu and Xianli suggested that Windveil City could travel farther without fearing demonic energy, but Mei Yao warned that the formation could only convert it where its concentration was low.
• I explained that dense demonic energy could corrode the Kuiyi Stone and that enemy attacks would reduce the formation’s tolerance and consume its stored energy.
• Mei Yao said the formation could repel even the strongest known sect, while Shana worried that its power would depend on the power furnace and their remaining Mu Crystals.

After Windmist City emerged from the sea of demonic qi, sect forces gathered around it, while its Heaven-Suppressing Formation stood ready to repel intruders. Kong Muran warned a Divine Transformation elder not to approach, but the man continued toward the dock.

• The Heaven-Suppressing Formation's energy reserves rose as the island traveled through the sea of demonic qi.
• After Windmist City emerged, scouts from other sects gathered around the dock, and the level-two alert sounded.
• The narrator explained that the Heaven-Suppressing Formation would crush anyone who crossed its defensive boundary, and a scout who landed on the island disappeared from the map.
• Elders from the gathered sects mocked Windmist City's residents and discussed extorting Inquisitive Stones.
• Kong Muran warned Elder Chen not to come closer, but Elder Chen ignored him and flew toward the dock.

The Heaven-Suppressing Formation instantly kills immortals who enter its range, forcing the sect disciples to retreat from Windstorm City. A second group approaches cautiously, discussing the Alliance Leader’s gathering order and hoping the city’s defenses will eventually run out of energy.

• An old immortal enters the Heaven-Suppressing Formation and is instantly reduced to smoke, barely depleting its energy.
• The immortals outside recoil in fear as the sect disciples retreat from Windstorm City.
• Kong Mu warns everyone that approaching the Heaven's Unity Path will count as trespassing on its mountain gate.
• The immortals scatter to report the formation’s power and warn others away from Windstorm Hall.
• More than twenty people approach Windstorm City, keep their distance from the formation, and speculate that its energy will eventually run out.

Yitian held Windmist City beside the Sea of Demonic Qi while hundreds of sect disciples waited for their alliance leader to arrive. After two days, the young city lord of Enlightened Wind City appeared with powerful escorts, and Yitian went to meet him.

• Yitian kept Windmist City moving along the Sea of Demonic Qi, maintaining the Heaven-Suppressing Formation Disk’s energy while the sect disciples waited outside.
• Hundreds of disciples and elders from sects across the Immortal-Seeking Continent gathered around Windmist City, but neither side attacked.

Chi Chong demanded that Xia surrender Windripple City, but Xia refused and mocked his claim to the city. Chi Chong ordered an attack on the Heaven-Suppressing Formation, whose shimmering light screen appeared to weaken while secretly neutralizing the blows.

• Chi Chong introduced himself as Enlightened Wind City's Young City Lord and demanded that Xia hand over Windripple City.
• Xia rejected Chi Chong's claim, said the city belonged to Heaven's Unity Sect, and asked whether the old Windripple City had possessed the Heaven-Suppressing Formation.
• Perched Dragon Temple, Freecloud Pavilion, and Luminous Island voiced support for Chi Chong, while the Heaven's Unity Sect disciples worried about the formation holding.
• Chi Chong ordered Enlightened Wind City's immortals to attack the city and drain the formation's energy, but most other ships did not join in.
• Enlightened Wind City's immortals bombarded the light screen, which rippled as the Heaven-Suppressing Formation compressed the attacks into nothing; some attackers also targeted the Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stone with little effect.

Chi Chong urged the attacking immortals to break Windmist City's Heaven-Suppressing Array and promised a Kuiyi Stone divine weapon to the first family to succeed. When Xia Yitian offered Heavenly One Dao members the chance to return to their old sects, they instead praised the fair treatment and opportunities they had found, leaving Chi Chong's forces ignored as their attacks failed to damage the barrier.

• Chi Chong ordered the immortals to intensify their assault on the Heaven-Suppressing Array and offered a Kuiyi Stone divine weapon as a reward.
• Xia Yitian told wavering Heavenly One Dao disciples they could leave and join the opposing forces if they wished.
• Chi Chong promised that former sect members would be welcomed back, but the disciples did not respond.

• Other disciples joined the impromptu confessions, while Chi Chong and the sect elders watched in disbelief.
• The disciples ignored the continuing assault because the attacks were not damaging Windmist City's barrier.

Yitian activated the Heaven-Suppressing Formation’s attack after Chichong demanded his surrender and claimed the women beside him. The formation crushed Chichong, his attendants, and much of his flagship, leaving the other forces facing its power.

• Yitian saw that the Heaven-Suppressing Formation had barely lost any energy despite the immortals’ attacks, and decided to use its offensive capability.
• Chichong offered to accept Yitian’s surrender but demanded that Shana, Lingzhao, Nanjin, and Zhilin become his.
• Yitian took out the Heaven-Suppressing Formation Disc and prepared to attack as Chichong ordered the others to stop and sent his flagship forward.
• Yitian rotated the Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones, sending a triangular compression zone across Chichong’s flagship.
• The formation crushed most of the flagship and killed Chichong and the immortals gathered at its stern.

The narrator redirected the formation core to destroy Chi Chong’s ship, driving the surrounding Immortals into retreat. Fenglan City continued toward the Tianyuan Mountains under alert, but several unidentified Immortals appeared at the dock.

• The narrator’s attack destroyed Chi Chong’s flying ship and scattered the other Immortal ships.
• Yingyi and Shanae described Chi Chong and his followers as ruthless men who abused and preyed on others.
• The narrator said the remaining ships could flee and watched as intruders who tried to board the island were killed by the formation.
• The narrator ordered the formation kept open, Fenglan City to continue toward the Tianyuan Mountains, and the group to maintain a level-three alert.

Xia negotiated with the Divine Transformation Realm immortals who had come to trade after Wufeng City's young lord died. He announced that Fenglan City would host a trade fair when the Bloodcloud Moon rose in three days, leaving some visitors wondering whether they could offer anything besides Mu Crystals.

Xia evaluated Zuo Yang of the House of Pinxu's offer to help renovate Windmist City and heard Yue You's request for Heavenly One Dao to shelter her declining Immortal Music Sect. He let both visitors enter, leaving the question of Yue You's sect and promised treasure to be considered further.

• Xia said Heavenly One Dao would accept useful pills, alchemy materials, and cultivation resources, but not treasures it did not value.
• Zuo Yang explained that the House of Pinxu had designed Windmist City and offered to create renovation plans using Xia's materials.
• Xia accepted Zuo Yang and the House of Pinxu's formation and rune masters into Windmist City.
• Yue You introduced herself as the ailing, three-hundred-year-old sect master of the Immortal Music Sect and asked Xia to shelter her sect, offering a peerless treasure in return.

• Yongqiu explained that the Northern Lands Nan Household’s bloodline-based Heaven-grade method made its daughters targets for marriage schemes.
• Yongqiu said the young lady she guarded had passed the bloodline test and was being pursued for marriage by a powerful force.
• Palace Master Xia declined to help, telling Yongqiu that Windmist City was already overwhelmed and suggesting she keep seeking the Great Elder of the Free-as-Cloud Pavilion’s aid.
• Nan Jin asked whether Yongqiu’s Northern Lands Nan Household was related to her own Nan Household.
• Yongqiu doubted a connection because Nan Jin’s family came from Cloudstranger Continent, but Nan Jin said her father had mentioned descendants who migrated to Immortal Admiration Continent.

Nan Jin agreed to visit the Nan Household in the Northern Lands for its bloodline test, and Yongqiu joined the group entering Fenglan City. There, Old Madam Le and Licou marveled at the city’s Heaven-Suppressing Formation and Zhilin’s Sinking Heaven Stone Divine Saber.
