Chapter Summaries

The cultivators attacked the Green Rock Immortal Nest’s 108,000 roots, but found them tougher than expected and difficult to sever within an hour. While the Chaos Holy Lord, the Fire Glazed Saint, and others cut roots, Fang Chen held back and drew the Heavenly Seal Saint’s attention.

• The Chaos Holy Lord pierced a root, but its wound began healing as the nest’s piercing sound struck the gathered cultivators.

• The Qiankun Holy Lord told the Heavenly Seal Saint to return, interrupting his offer to Fang Chen.

• Fang Chen continued attacking while the other Saints, including the Fire Glazed Saint and Chaos Holy Lord, began to slow from exhaustion.

Fang Chen and the other cultivators raced to sever the Green Rock Immortal Nest’s roots before their medicine wore off. As the others grew exhausted, Fang Chen’s Floating Immortal Sword absorbed energy from the roots and made him stronger, leaving the Chaos Holy Lord suspicious of his hidden power.

• The Fire Glazed Saint and the Chaos Holy Lord unleashed Secret Methods and sped up their attacks after Li Changsheng warned that they had severed fewer than ten thousand roots in a quarter of an hour.

• Fang Chen continued growing stronger as the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed energy from the roots, drawing cheers from the Heavenly Seal Saint and shock from the others.
• The Chaos Holy Lord examined Fang Chen with a Secret Method, found nothing unusual, and wondered at the Glazed Sword Sect’s strength.

Fang Chen kept cutting the Green Rock Immortal Nest’s roots after the others withdrew, and its poison overwhelmed his body. His Foundation Establishment Dao Platform absorbed the poison, however, while the Myna bird’s sealed power and memories began to return, leaving Fang Chen ready to continue cutting.

• The Chaos Holy Lord and the other gathered forces recognized Fang Chen’s strength but withdrew when Li Changsheng warned that their Detoxification Pills were about to wear off.

• The Green Rock Immortal Nest retracted its roots and turned into an Azure Stone Sphere, and Li Changsheng asked Fang Chen to push it toward the group.

Fang Chen gave the Green Rock Immortal Nest to Li Changsheng, and the factions praised him and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint for their strength. As the group fled the collapsing space, their boat fell behind, leaving Fang Chen and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint worried that the others might abandon them.

• Fang Chen consulted the Fire Origin Glazed Saint and kicked the Green Rock Immortal Nest's bulb toward Li Changsheng, who sealed it inside a black cloth bag.
• Fang Chen returned to normal size, and the Heavenly Seal Saint, Misty Saint, Chaos Holy Lord, Qiankun Holy Lord, and others congratulated him and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint.
• Li Changsheng warned that the space would soon collapse, so Fang Chen boarded the Void Spirit Boat as Li Changsheng used his Withered Wood Staff to guide the boats through the twisted space.
• The other Void Spirit Boats overtook Fang Chen's overloaded boat, leaving it at the back of the group.
• Fang Chen asked the Fire Origin Glazed Saint whether the others might abandon them, and the Fire Origin Glazed Saint admitted that it was possible.

As Spatial Collapse overwhelmed the group, Li Changsheng accelerated the boats ahead and refused to help Fang Chen and the Fire Glazed Saint. He destroyed their boat’s Bronze Lamp, leaving them swept into Spatial Turbulence as Saint Chenwu and the others could only watch.

• Spatial Collapse intensified, and Li Changsheng used his Withered Wood Staff to speed up the Void Spirit Boats ahead of Fang Chen and the Fire Glazed Saint.
• Saint Lian Yue and the Heavenly Seal Saint challenged Li Changsheng to help the slower boat, but he and his disciples refused, claiming the boat carried too many people.

• Little Crane brought them to a stable area of the Void filled with floating stones, where the Spatial Pressure remained intense.

Fang Chen attempted his fifth Saint Tribulation in the void, but the Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning broke apart before it could strike him, and the Tribulation Clouds fled. He chased them and shared their Origin Light Beam baptism with the Fire Glazed Saint and the myna bird, leaving all three strengthened.

• Little Crane released Fang Chen, the Fire Glazed Saint, and the myna bird into the void so Fang Chen could undergo Tribulation Transcendence.
• Fang Chen compressed and burned his Saint Force, summoning powerful Tribulation Clouds and Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning.
• The lightning split into arcs before reaching Fang Chen, and the Tribulation Clouds fled as Fang Chen cursed and chased them.

• Fang Chen, the Fire Glazed Saint, and the myna bird absorbed Source Power for half an hour, strengthening their bodies, souls, and cultivation.

Fang Chen completed his Source Power Baptism and reached the Five Tribulation Saint level, then secretly followed Li Changsheng’s fleet back to Longevity Valley. The others believed Fang Chen and Fire Origin Glazed Saint had died, and argued over whether their share of the Longevity Medicine should be claimed or given to their sect.

• Fire Origin Glazed Saint’s Soul Realm improved greatly during Fang Chen’s Source Power Baptism, while Myna bird and Little Crane also grew stronger.
• Fang Chen opened his eyes as a Five Tribulation Saint, then set off with Myna bird and Fire Origin Glazed Saint to catch up with Li Changsheng’s fleet.
• Little Crane carried Fang Chen and the others through the Void and followed the fleet undetected through the Chaotic Space.
• After three months, Li Changsheng and the others returned to Longevity Valley, where they believed Fang Chen and Fire Origin Glazed Saint had been lost in turbulent space.
• Several cultivators asked what would happen to Fang Chen and Fire Origin Glazed Saint’s share of the Longevity Medicine, while Heavenly Seal Saint, Saint Chenwu, and others opposed taking it.
• The Chaos Holy Lord warned that giving the share to the Glazed Sword Sect could make the weakened sect a target for other factions.

Li Changsheng agreed to refine the Longevity Medicine in three years and promised to safeguard Fang Chen and the Fire Glazed Saint’s shares. While representatives stayed behind to wait, Fang Chen and the Fire Glazed Saint secretly explored Longevity Valley and prepared to plant Meteor Tears in case Li Changsheng refused to hand over their pills.

Meanwhile, Fang Chen and his companions found ancient longevity techniques in Longevity Valley’s Forbidden Grounds, where a passage about the Longevity Lock left him troubled.

• Fang Chen found instructions for cultivating the Longevity Lock and asked the myna bird whether it had translated everything written on the Jade Slip.

Fang Chen learned that Li Changsheng had taught him an incomplete Longevity Lock Secret Method and decided to return from Longevity Valley after hearing that the Ye Family and Buddhist Kingdom had arrived at the Glazed Sword Sect.

• Ten days later, the Black Jade Saint showed Ye Mian a recording of the battle, confirming that the fleet had been destroyed and Saint Chixing killed.

The Ye Family and Buddhist Kingdom struggled to identify the white-robed man who had destroyed their forces and killed their Saints, suspecting he might be the Glazed Saint. Both sides feared his promised revenge and ordered caution as the threat to their realms mounted.

• The myna bird proposed stealing the Withered Wood Staff, but Fang Chen slapped him and warned that they were in Longevity Valley, where Li Changsheng might be dangerous.
• The Fire Glazed Saint agreed that Li Changsheng was concealing his strength, and Fang Chen and his companions continued observing the alchemy.
