Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint planned to release footage of the Glazed Sword Sect eating the Ye Family’s Sky-Sniffing Dog to publicize their victory and provoke a response. Five days later, cultivators across the Central Barrens saw the footage and learned that the Glazed Sword Sect had defeated the Ye Family Saints.

• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint said he would stay at the Glazed Sword Sect to protect it, while Fang Chen planned to visit the Sacred Land later.
• Fang Chen proposed releasing the dog-eating footage to reveal the Ye Family’s defeat, and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint agreed to wait for the family’s reaction before taking further action.
• Fang Chen returned to his old quarters on Glazed Peak, remembered True Person Liuli, and fell asleep dreaming of him.
• Five days later, the footage of the Sky-Sniffing Dog being cooked spread throughout the Central Barrens.
• Cultivators watching the footage learned that the Glazed Sword Sect had driven off the Ye Family Saints and mocked the family by eating the dog.

The Ye Family seethed after the Glazed Sword Sect humiliated them, but Ye Mian judged that attacking the sect would cost too much and no Saint dared to volunteer. Meanwhile, Fang Chen woke from a vivid Dream Realm in which True Person Liuli had forged a sword.

• After footage of the Glazed Sword Sect stewing the Sky-Sniffing Dog spread, the Spirit Dog Saint coughed up blood and vowed revenge.

• Saint Chixing told the Ye Family Saints to remember the humiliation and avoid an all-out war for now.
• Fang Chen woke after dreaming that True Person Liuli had forged a sword and asked for his opinion.

After recovering from five days of sleep following the dog meat feast, Fang Chen learned that the Ye Family had not retaliated and began planning protective battle armor for the Glazed Sword Sect’s future tribulations. He left to refine the treasures, while the Fire Origin Glazed Saint warned the sect to stay prepared for a possible attack.

• Fang Chen woke after five days and found that Huahua was still asleep in the Qingyang Realm with Fang Chen’s clones.

• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint cautioned Fang Chen that the Ye Family might still launch a surprise attack.
• Fang Chen proposed refining protective battle armor to help Glazed Sword Sect members withstand increasingly unpredictable Heavenly Tribulations.
• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint offered to help Fang Chen with the task.

• Fang Chen returned to the Qingyang Realm and melted Quasi-Saint Artifacts in the Heaven Refining Furnace to make Battle Armor.

Fang Chen delayed his journey to the Sacred Land so he could prepare Heart Tribulation Pills and learn more about the dangers there. He arrived at the Glazed Sword Sect’s Library Pavilion to search for books about the Sacred Land.

• Fang Chen gave Fire Origin Glazed Saint a recipe for Heart Tribulation Pills and asked her to gather the rare ingredients.
• Fang Chen decided to wait until the pills were ready, noting that his strength had grown and that he hoped to learn Fire Origin Glazed Saint’s Sword of Nirvana once his cultivation improved.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird discussed preparing for the Sacred Land, including researching its hazards, ruins, resources, and inhabitants.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird traveled to the Glazed Sword Sect’s Library Pavilion in Glazed City, where Dao Master Jue Xing welcomed them.
• Dao Master Jue Xing led Fang Chen to the top floor, where the sect kept its books about the Sacred Land.

Fang Chen and the myna bird searched the Glazed Sword Sect’s library for information about the Sacred Land, but found a sealed book in the Elf language containing a life-extending cultivation method. The myna bird taught Fang Chen the method, and Fang Chen realized its unusual nature as the chapter ended.

• Dao Master Jue Xing brought Fang Chen and the myna bird to the Secret Chamber in the Ninth-Layer Space of the Library Pavilion, where they began searching its books and Jade Slips.
• The myna bird scattered his feathers into Clones to search the chamber, and one of them found a yellow-covered book sealed with Formation Runes.
• Fang Chen removed the seal, and the myna bird identified the book’s contents as written in the Elf language and translated them as a life-extending Secret Method.
• Fang Chen, concerned that his flawed Life Wheel left him with only a few hundred years to live, urged the myna bird to teach him the method.
• The myna bird warned that Fang Chen could not practice it, but taught him anyway; Fang Chen frowned when he saw what kind of cultivation method it was.

Fang Chen rejected the harmful Yin Yang Longevity Technique and learned more about the Sacred Land and the Human Race’s fragile balance of power. When Eldest Brother Fang told him that all nine Clones were ready to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, Fang Chen hurried back to the Qingyang Realm to meet them.

• Fang Chen hid the Yin Yang Longevity Technique so no Glazed Sword Sect members would find it, though he refused to practice it.
• Myna bird shared what he had learned from the secret chamber’s books, and Fang Chen learned about the dangerous Sacred Land and the Human Race’s divided factions.
• Fang Chen received Eldest Brother Fang’s message that he and the other Clones were ready to undergo Tribulation Transcendence, and told them to wait for him.
• Fang Chen and Myna bird flew to the Mysterious Jade Forest, where the nine Clones gathered around him.
• Second Brother Fang, holding the sleeping Xiao Yi, asked Fang Chen whether they could begin Tribulation Transcendence.

Fang Chen brought his nine Clones to undergo Tribulation Transcendence together, expecting them to withstand the amplified Heavenly Punishment. Their combined tribulation began with a massive red lightning strike, which the Clones absorbed and refined with their Devouring God Imprints.

• Fang Chen checked Xiao Yi after learning he had drunk too much at the dog-meat feast, then warned Second Brother Fang not to feed him carelessly.
• Fang Chen took Xiao Yi and his Clones to the Chaos Demonic Star Vine’s former Tribulation Ground and summoned the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Little Star to watch.
• Fang Chen decided that all nine Clones would undergo Tribulation Transcendence together, and they agreed to face the stronger Heavenly Punishment as one.
• The nine Clones hovered above a desolate mountain range, joined their hands, and compressed their power until the Heavenly Dao Will summoned turbulent clouds and nine merging vortexes.
• A massive bolt of red lightning struck the Clones, who activated the Floating Immortal Art and used their Devouring God Imprints to absorb and refine it.

Fang Chen's nine clones endured the Heavenly Tribulation and combined their powers into the Glazed Sword Array. Their Nine-Colored Divine Sword fought a Black Thunder Dragon summoned from the Tribulation Clouds.

• Fang Chen's clones absorbed successive bolts of Heavenly Thunder, then survived nine explosive Lightning Orbs that tore through space.
• The clones unleashed their Manifestations and fused their powers into a Nine-Colored Divine Sword, which withstood the rain of Divine Swords.
• Fang Chen identified the formation as the Glazed Sword Array, the Glazed Sword Sect's strongest Sword Formation.
• A Black Thunder Dragon emerged from the Vortex and attacked the Nine-Colored Divine Sword with a black Lightning Orb and a tail sweep.
• The Nine-Colored Divine Sword recovered from the blow, Shattered the Void, and slashed down at the Black Thunder Dragon's head.

Fang Chen’s nine Clones survived tribulation and became Saints, so he taught them the Devouring God Art before heading to the Sacred Land. The Clones began studying the difficult art while the Fire Glazed Saint arrived with ingredients for the Heart Tribulation Pill.

• The Nine-Colored Divine Sword devoured the Black Thunder Dragon’s lightning, survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and became nine Saint Seals that went to Fang Chen’s nine Clones.
• Fang Chen congratulated the Clones on becoming Saints, and they thanked him for his guidance.
• Fang Chen taught the Clones the Devouring God Art by transmitting it through their joined Spiritual Senses, a process that took ten days.
• Fang Chen told the Clones to study the art patiently and left with Xiao Yi after the Fire Glazed Saint said he had gathered the Heart Tribulation Pill ingredients.
• The Clones discussed how to cultivate the difficult art and began contemplating it, while the Fire Glazed Saint arrived in the Qingyang Realm to meet Fang Chen.

The Fire Origin Glazed Saint told Fang Chen that a Longevity Valley Practitioner had invited him to visit in a year, raising the possibility that Fang Chen’s damaged Life Wheel could be repaired. Fang Chen began checking materials for a Heart Tribulation Pill while the Fire Origin Glazed Saint arranged to verify the invitation, leaving Fang Chen hopeful but cautious.

• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint showed Fang Chen a Longevity Post inviting him to Longevity Valley in a year and allowing him to bring one person.
• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint suggested that Longevity Valley might repair Fang Chen’s Life Wheel, and Fang Chen worried that the invitation could be a trap.
• The Fire Origin Glazed Saint promised to investigate the invitation and gave Fang Chen a Storage Ring of materials for a Heart Tribulation Pill.
• Fang Chen checked the materials, found no major problems, and said he would begin refining the pill before they left for Longevity Valley.
• After the Fire Origin Glazed Saint left, the Myna bird encouraged Fang Chen to hope that Longevity Valley could repair his Life Wheel.

Fang Chen refined the Heart Tribulation Pill, but his fused Manifestations took control of the Heaven Refining Furnace and transformed its contents. The furnace produced five-colored pods that contained radiant Pills, leaving Fang Chen unsure what he had created.

• Fang Chen began refining the Heart Tribulation Pill in the Heaven Refining Furnace while invoking the Goddess Mends the Heavens and Old Farmer Cooks Medicine Manifestations.
• After nine months, the Heaven Refining Furnace became uncontrollable as the Manifestations kicked it through the air for three days.
• The Manifestations disappeared, and the furnace released Five-Colored Divine Fire Origin before five-colored vines sprouted from it.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird watched the vines grow flowers and crystal-clear pods, which withered after producing their crop.
• Fang Chen opened one pod and found crystal-clear Pills glowing with five-colored light inside.

Fang Chen harvested more than a thousand Heart Tribulation Pills from pods grown during his refining and gave most of them to the Glazed Sword Sect. The Fire Glazed Saint confirmed that Longevity Valley was real and reported that several sect members had become Saints, including Yan Ziyi, whose heart demon had involved Fang Chen.

• Fang Chen and the myna bird found 108 pods containing twelve Heart Tribulation Pills each, and Fang Chen tested one before deciding it was effective.
• Fang Chen brought the pills to the Fire Glazed Saint, who kept most for the sect and left ten pods for Fang Chen to save for friends and relatives.
• The Fire Glazed Saint confirmed that the Longevity Post was real and that leaders of several major powers had received invitations to Longevity Valley.
• The Fire Glazed Saint told Fang Chen that Yan Ziyi and six other Glazed Sword Sect members had succeeded in Tribulation Transcendence.
• The Fire Glazed Saint said Yan Ziyi had endured eleven waves of Heavenly Thunder and a Heart Demon Tribulation involving Fang Chen before becoming a Saint; Fang Chen then left to see Uncle-Master Honghe and the others.

Fang Chen visited Saint Honghe after learning that he had succeeded in his tribulation, reconnecting with the sect elder he had rarely seen since the Glazed Sword Sect grew stronger. They shared tea in Saint Honghe’s Cave Abode, where Fang Chen asked to examine his body.

• Fang Chen recalled how Saint Honghe had once used the Glazed Mirror to discover that Fang Chen's Life Wheel was incomplete.

• Fang Chen and Saint Honghe shared tea, and Saint Honghe described how wonderful it felt to become a Saint.
• Fang Chen asked Saint Honghe if he could examine his body for injuries from the tribulation.

• Fang Chen examined Saint Honghe and found cracks in his Foundation Establishment Dao Platform, likely caused by his tribulation.
• Fang Chen urged Saint Honghe to report future injuries to the sect and offered to repair his platform.
• Fang Chen channeled his platform's source power into Saint Honghe's, causing his own platform to devour far more energy from the Floating Immortal Ring.
• Fang Chen's source power quickly healed the cracks, and he stopped when Saint Honghe's platform could absorb no more.
• A Red Flame Mark appeared on Saint Honghe's platform, and Saint Honghe told Fang Chen that another Innate Dao Diagram had emerged.

• Saint Gu Yan welcomed Fang Chen into his humble courtyard and brewed tea for him.

• Fang Chen told the Purple Cloud Dao Master that his Magic Treasures and Pills could help her face her upcoming tribulation.

Fang Chen improved the Foundation Establishment Dao Platforms of friends and fellow sect members, discovering that using his platform’s Source Power made it absorb energy faster and grow clearer. While he improved Fire Glazed Saint’s platform, it surpassed the limits of an Innate Dao Platform and drew a Heavenly Tribulation, which could transform it into a Destined Dao Platform if he survived.

• Fang Chen visited Purple Cloud Dao Master and Yan Ziyi, healing Yan Ziyi and strengthening both of their Foundation Establishment Dao Platforms with Devouring God Imprints.
• Fang Chen traveled around the sect and improved Azure Cloud Dao Master and others’ Dao Platforms, then did the same for Elder Yun and Li Yanshan at Dog Head Ridge.
