Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen and his companions secretly entered the Thousand Yuan Immortal Medicine Garden by having the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm burrow through Thousand Yuan Mountain and Fang Chen cut through a Barrier. After scouting the garden and learning the Immortal Herbs were nearly ripe, they prepared to seize the harvest and block the exit.

• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm burrowed through Thousand Yuan Mountain and reached a powerful Barrier.
• Fang Chen cut through the Barrier with the Floating Immortal Sword, and Little Crane carried him and the worm into the garden unseen.
• The Patrol Team investigated the energy fluctuation but found the Barrier restored, then warned that the thousand yuan Immortal Herbs were about to ripen.
• Little Crane guided Fang Chen and his companions through the Void as they scouted the garden, its guards, Formations, and nearly ripe crop.
• Fang Chen spotted Great Emperor Yunxin among the Spirit Planters and learned that Nebula Palace members had captured her.
• Fang Chen told Great Emperor Huo Li and the others they would seize the Immortal Herbs after the harvest and use the Reincarnation Tower to block the garden's exit.

Fang Chen stormed Nebula Palace’s Immortal Medicine Garden as the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass ripened and trapped the exit with the Swallowing Heaven Tower. He used the Demon Subduing Curse to stop the Nebula Palace Great Emperors from destroying the crop, while Great Emperor Huo Li and the others began harvesting it by the roots.

• The Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass ripened, and Fang Chen decided to attack before Nebula Palace could gather it all.
• Fang Chen blocked the garden’s exit with the Swallowing Heaven Tower and ordered everyone who was not from Nebula Palace to enter it.

Fang Chen subdued the Great Emperors of Nebula Palace with the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, then recruited the other Great Emperors to harvest the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass. Great Emperor Wuji arrived at the garden entrance and learned that someone had blocked it with a Black Tower.

• Fang Chen used the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to poison the Great Emperors of Nebula Palace into sleep and took them into the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• Fang Chen reopened the tower and promised the Great Emperors inside one plant each to help dig up the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass.
• Fang Chen told the helpers he had killed the Nebula Palace Great Emperors, and they began harvesting the grass alongside him.
• Great Emperor Wuji hurried to the garden entrance with dozens of Nebula Palace Hall Masters and questioned the guard commander.
• The guard commander told Great Emperor Wuji that a Black Tower had suddenly blocked the entrance, leaving the guards unsure how to respond.

Great Emperor Wuji and the Nebula Palace Hall Masters found the passage to the Immortal Medicine Garden blocked by Fang Chen’s Swallowing Heaven Tower. After the Wuji Staff was damaged by a single strike, Great Emperor Wuji returned with Nebula Palace’s Quasi-Immortal Artifact, the Black Mountain Seal, to try again.

• Great Emperor Wuji led the Hall Masters to the Immortal Medicine Garden and found the Black Tower wedged in the passage.
• Great Emperor Wuji and the Hall Masters struck the Swallowing Heaven Tower with the Wuji Staff, but the tower did not move and the impact injured Great Emperor Wuji.

• Fang Chen reassured the Great Emperors inside the garden that the tower would keep the Nebula Palace members out, and they resumed gathering Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass.
• Great Emperor Wuji returned to Nebula Palace and brought back the Black Mountain Seal, then asked the Hall Masters to lend him their strength.

Great Emperor Wuji and the Hall Masters failed to break through the Swallowing Heaven Tower with the Black Mountain Seal, leaving them unable to enter the Immortal Medicine Garden. Ten days later, Fang Chen and the others finished harvesting 103,000 mature Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass plants, and Fang Chen rewarded each assisting Great Emperor with one plant.

• Great Emperor Wuji and the Hall Masters empowered the Black Mountain Seal and launched it at the Swallowing Heaven Tower, but the collision damaged the seal and blasted them out of the passage.
• Great Emperor Wuji returned to the tower, found it unharmed, and decided to wait for the Palace Master rather than attack again.
• Great Emperor Wuji sent Nebula Palace guards to watch the Swallowing Heaven Tower while he and the Hall Masters withdrew.
• Fang Chen and the others finished digging up 103,000 mature Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass plants after ten days.
• Fang Chen gave each Great Emperor who had helped one Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass plant.

Fang Chen gave the Great Emperors Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass and decided to use the Immortal Medicine Garden as a trap for Nebula Palace. After the guards reported that the Black Tower had vanished, Great Emperor Wuji led the other hall masters inside.

• Fang Chen refused the myna bird's suggestion to kill the Great Emperors and explained why they would keep the secret of the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass.
• Fang Chen gave each Great Emperor Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass and offered to take them out in the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• Fang Chen rejected the suggestion to leave immediately and planned to lure Nebula Palace's members into the Cave, hiding with his allies until their leaders entered.
• Little Crane took Great Emperor Huo Li, the myna bird, and the others into Spirit Crane Space, while Fang Chen recalled the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• The Guard Captain chose not to enter the Cave and alerted Great Emperor Wuji, who led the other hall masters inside.

• Great Emperor Wuji sent the Guard Captain and other Guards to search the Immortal Medicine Garden, where they found it empty and the mature Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass gone.
• After the Guards reported that the thief had left, Great Emperor Wuji and the hall masters entered the garden with more than two hundred Guards.
• Fang Chen emerged from the Spirit Crane Space, and Great Emperor Wuji recognized him as the Floating Immortal Great Emperor.
• Fang Chen blocked the garden’s exit with the Black Tower and declared that he would kill Great Emperor Wuji and the others.
• As Great Emperor Wuji and the hall masters prepared to attack, Fang Chen struck the Black Wooden Fish with the Floating Immortal Sword and chanted the Demon Subduing Curse, overwhelming them with agony.

Fang Chen captured Great Emperor Wuji and the other Nebula Palace Great Emperors in the Immortal Medicine Garden, then escaped with Little Crane. Nebula Palace discovered the garden was empty and sealed it off, while Fang Chen returned to Chishui Mountain and prepared to deal with his captives.

• Fang Chen used the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to poison and put Great Emperor Wuji and the others to sleep, then stored them in the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
• Fang Chen and Little Crane escaped through the garden's Barrier and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm's tunnel, leaving two Guards to find the Immortal Medicine Garden empty.

• Great Emperor Black Cloud sent two hall masters to investigate, then ordered the Immortal Medicine Garden sealed and waited for the Palace Master to end his seclusion.
• Fang Chen returned to his Cave Abode on Chishui Mountain with Little Crane and the others, then entered the Swallowing Heaven Tower with Great Emperor Huo Li, Myna bird, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to deal with the sleeping captives.
• Great Emperor Huo Li looked over the sleeping Nebula Palace Great Emperors and seemed lost in thought.

Fang Chen and his companions stripped the captured Nebula Palace Great Emperors of their treasures and decided to hold them for ransom while they cultivated. Fang Chen extracted the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass Essence and distributed it, leaving Great Emperor Huo Li to take only one Gourd for now.

• Great Emperor Huo Li persuaded Fang Chen to keep the Nebula Palace Great Emperors alive as potential ransom rather than kill them, and Fang Chen agreed.
• Fang Chen and his companions took the captives' treasures and Supreme Emperor Weapons, while Fang Chen left the myna bird and Little Crane to sort the spoils.
• Fang Chen kept the other captured Great Emperors imprisoned in the Swallowing Heaven Tower and entered its Ninth-Layer Space to extract the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass Essence.
• Fang Chen refined all the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass into Essence of Spiritual Liquid and divided it among nine Gourds.
• Fang Chen offered the Gourds to Great Emperor Huo Li and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and Great Emperor Huo Li chose to take only one for now.

Fang Chen used Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass Essence to raise his soul to the Sixth Realm, then returned to find the others still cultivating. The Myna bird showed him a second, much larger White Stone, suggesting more might be hidden on Golden Cicada Ridge.

• Fang Chen entered the Ninth-Layer Space of the Swallowing Heaven Tower and cultivated with the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass Essence, the Floating Immortal Sword, and the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture.
• Fang Chen formed his fourth Void Lotus after half a year, reaching the Fourth Realm of Soul Perception and absorbing Source Power of Emperors faster.
• Fang Chen formed his fifth Void Lotus two years later, then reached the Sixth Realm and formed his sixth Void Lotus after five more years, using all his Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass Essence.
• Fang Chen went to the Third-Layer Space and found Great Emperor Huo Li and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm still cultivating.
• The Myna bird told Fang Chen it had finished sorting the treasures and produced a White Stone at least ten times larger than the one Little Crane had swallowed.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird suspected that more White Stones could be on Golden Cicada Ridge, though they still did not know where the stones came from.

Fang Chen gave Little Crane a White Stone and sent her with Myna Bird to sell Nebula Palace’s treasures and buy items to strengthen his Soul Power. He told Great Emperor Yunxin and the other Spirit Planters that he would keep them hidden until he was strong enough to defeat the Nebula Palace Master and destroy Nebula Palace.

• Fang Chen woke Little Crane, who happily swallowed the enormous White Stone Myna Bird had found and began refining it.
• Myna Bird reported that Nebula Palace’s captured hall masters had yielded over 380 million Emperor Origin Stones and treasures worth at least two billion more.
• Fang Chen sent Myna Bird and Little Crane to sell the treasures and purchase items that could quickly increase his Soul Power.
• Fang Chen visited Great Emperor Yunxin and the other Spirit Planters, explaining that he had kept them in the Swallowing Heaven Tower to protect them and conceal the raid on the Thousand Yuan Immortal Medicine Garden.
• Fang Chen said he planned to grow stronger, defeat the Nebula Palace Master, and bring down Nebula Palace before releasing the Spirit Planters.

Fang Chen and his companions spent their Emperor Origin Stones on Dreamlike Immortal Dew, which strengthened the soul as it put him to sleep. He entered a dream of Dog Head Ridge, where he shared a meal with Li Yanshan and Elder Yun.

• Little Crane and the Myna bird returned with five bottles of Dreamlike Immortal Dew bought with over 2.5 billion Emperor Origin Stones.
• Fang Chen took three bottles for himself and set aside one each for Huo Li and Chi You.
• Fang Chen drank a bottle of Dreamlike Immortal Dew, and its power strengthened his Soul Origin before he fell asleep inside a black cocoon.
• Fang Chen dreamed he was back at Dog Head Ridge, where Li Yanshan cooked ham rice and Little Six rushed over.
• Elder Yun arrived on Little Donkey, and Fang Chen, Li Yanshan, and Elder Yun sat down to eat ham rice.

Fang Chen used three bottles of Dreamlike Immortal Dew and advanced his Soul Realm from the early Sixth Realm to the peak of the Eighth Realm. After waking from dreams of his past and a possible future as an Immortal Emperor, he found his eighth Void Lotus had bloomed.

• After a dream of sharing ham rice with Elder Yun and Li Yanshan, Fang Chen woke inside the Swallowing Heaven Tower and discovered his eighth Void Lotus had formed as a bud.
• Fang Chen drank a second bottle of Dreamlike Immortal Dew, dreamed of visiting his grandmother as a child, and woke to find the eighth Void Lotus larger but still unopened.
• Fang Chen drank the last bottle and dreamed that he became an Immortal Emperor alongside Little Crane, the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, and the Myna bird, though the Floating Immortal Sword's secret and the Myna bird's Seal remained unresolved.
• Fang Chen woke crying, found that his eighth Void Lotus had bloomed, and realized he had spent only forty-one days dreaming while reaching the peak of the Eighth Realm.

Fang Chen returned to the Third Layer of the Swallowing Heaven Tower and found Great Emperor Huo Li and Chi You sealed inside cocoons while they refined the Essence of the Thousand Yuan Immortal Grass. After learning that the myna bird’s Natal Spirit Pearl was bound by a complex seal, Fang Chen brought him to the Ninth-Layer Space to try breaking it with Twilight Power.

• Fang Chen found Great Emperor Huo Li and Chi You inside black cocoons, and the myna bird said Chi You had taken Dreamlike Immortal Dew a month earlier and Huo Li ten days earlier.
• Fang Chen told the myna bird he had absorbed all three bottles of Dreamlike Immortal Dew, raising his Soul Realm from the early Sixth Realm to the peak of the Eighth Realm.
• Fang Chen examined the myna bird’s Natal Spirit Pearl but could not decipher its complex Seal Runes.
• Fang Chen took the myna bird to the Ninth-Layer Space and explained that he would use Twilight Power on the Floating Immortal Sword to try to break the seal without harming him.
• The myna bird agreed and spat out his Natal Spirit Pearl.

Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to break the Seal Runes on Myna bird’s Natal Spirit Pearl, boosting both his Soul Power and Myna bird’s strength. After emerging from seclusion, the Nebula Palace Master learned that the Immortal Medicine Garden had been looted and several powerful members had gone missing.

• Fang Chen struck Myna bird’s Natal Spirit Pearl with the Floating Immortal Sword, breaking its Seal Runes and receiving energy that rapidly strengthened his Soul Power.

• Great Emperor Black Cloud told the Nebula Palace Master that Fang Chen had killed Great Emperor Clear Wind and taken the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array flags, and the Nebula Palace Master ordered Nebula Palace’s forces to Chishui Mountain.
• The Nebula Palace Master surrounded Chishui Mountain, while its Great Emperors fled and spread news of the impending battle across Golden Cicada Ridge.
• The leaders of the Sword Alliance, Purple Light Pavilion, Yellow Sand City, and Ice Snow Palace heard the news and flew toward Chishui Mountain.
• Nebula Palace’s forces blocked the Great Emperors on the mountain from escaping, and Great Emperor Black Cloud called for Fang Chen to come out and die.
• Fang Chen learned that the Nebula Palace Master had arrived, sent Senior Huo Li and Chi You into Spirit Crane Space with Little Crane, then left his Cave Abode with Little Crane and the Myna bird.

He admitted to taking the Thousand Yuan Immortal Medicine Garden and revealed the unconscious Great Emperor Wuji and Hall Masters, leaving the gathered Great Emperors stunned.

• The Sword Alliance Leader, Purple Light Pavilion Master, Yellow Sand City Master, and Ice Snow Palace Master arrived at Chishui Mountain to see why the Nebula Palace Master had brought so many people.

• The gathered Great Emperors were shocked by the theft, and the Yellow Sand City Master laughed at the Nebula Palace Master.

Fang Chen challenged the Nebula Great Emperor after damaging Nebula Palace’s Immortal Medicine Garden, but their first exchanges revealed a major gap in strength. The Nebula Great Emperor shattered Fang Chen’s breastbone, leaving the other rulers doubting he could survive.

After surviving four strikes, Fang Chen challenged the Nebula Great Emperor to attack again and vanished into the Void to meet his fifth strike.

• The Ice Snow Palace Master warned that Fang Chen’s strength must exceed what he had shown if he had looted the Nebula Great Emperor’s Thousand Yuan Immortal Medicine Garden.

• The Qiankun imprints slipped through the Nebula Great Emperor’s Great Dao Spiritual Light and entered his body, though he could not detect them.
• Fang Chen blocked the Nebula Great Emperor’s fourth strike as more imprints entered him, and the watching Void Sword Emperor and Purple Light Great Emperor praised Fang Chen’s tenacity.
• Fang Chen mocked the Nebula Great Emperor and invoked the Five Layer Wave before vanishing into the Void; the Nebula Great Emperor tracked him and tore open space with his saber.

Fang Chen continued fighting the Nebula Great Emperor, using the Floating Immortal Sword to recover from devastating wounds and grow stronger.
