Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen refined a new Tribulation Ground, the Green Grass Great Array, to help cultivators recover their strength during Tribulation Transcendence. With the array complete, Uncle-Master Black Flame prepared to be the first to use it.

• Fang Chen named the formation the Green Grass Great Array and explained that its grass would burn to release energy and restore cultivators during Tribulation Transcendence.

Fang Chen explained that the Green Grass Great Array could gather a cultivator’s shattered Remnant Soul and help rebuild their body during Tribulation Transcendence.

Fang Chen’s grassland Grand Array absorbed the force of the Black Flame Saint’s fifth Saint Tribulation and restored him after the Heavenly Thunder destroyed his body. The Black Flame Saint emerged with an even stronger aura, leaving the onlookers astonished by the array’s power.

• The Black Flame Saint began his fifth Saint Tribulation as the World Will summoned powerful storm clouds over the Tribulation Ground.

• Golden Lightning Swords from the third wave blew the Black Flame Saint’s body apart, alarming Saint Honghe, Chen Xiaofei, and the Glazed Sword Sect Disciples.
• Fang Chen saw the grass absorb the Black Flame Saint’s remains and Remnant Soul, then watched it reform him in crimson light with a stronger aura.

After Heavenly Seal Saint and his followers survived their tribulations with Fang Chen’s Grand Array, Xuan Tu Saint suspected that tribulations in the area were unusually strong.

• Saint Lei Yun took Fang Chen, the Heavenly Seal Saint, and Saint Tong Mu through an Origin World to the Chaos Holy Land’s Tribulation Ground.

Fang Chen noticed that the Chaos Holy Land’s Heavenly Tribulations were weaker than those inside the Green Grass Great Array and offered Saint Lei Yun a Heart Tribulation Pill to help Saint Bai Yang face his Ninth Saint Tribulation. Saint Lei Yun accepted the pill and sent it to Saint Bai Yang as he prepared to begin.

• Fang Chen and Saint Tian Heng compared Saint Ling Tao’s weak tribulation with the much stronger tribulation Saint Tian Heng had endured, and Myna bird showed an image of it.

Fang Chen returned the Heavenly Wheel Secret Codex to Yue Canglan after explaining that cultivating it had improved his damaged Life Wheel and slowed the loss of his Lifespan. He revealed that his Green Grass Great Array had helped dozens of people survive Tribulation Transcendence with a one-hundred-percent success rate, leaving Yue Canglan shocked by the prospect of sending Chaos Holy Land members to use it.

• Fang Chen told Yue Canglan that he had cultivated the Heavenly Wheel Secret Codex, which had made his Life Wheel more complete and slowed his Lifespan loss.

• Fang Chen told Yue Canglan that many Chaos Holy Land members had failed their tribulations because of Heart Demon Tribulations and offered him pills he had refined to counter them.
• Saint Lei Yun confirmed that one of Fang Chen's pills had helped Bai Yang overcome a Heart Demon Tribulation and complete his Ninth Saint Tribulation.
• Yue Canglan found more than a thousand pills in the gourd and was astonished when Fang Chen said he could refine over ten thousand in a batch.
• Fang Chen advised Yue Canglan to send Chaos Holy Land members to the Glazed Sword Sect because its stronger tribulations brought a greater Source Power Baptism and its Auxiliary Grand Array could repair itself.
• Yue Canglan agreed to send some people first and ask about their experience before deciding whether to send more.
• Fang Chen told Yue Canglan that he owed him far more than friendship because Yue Canglan had saved his life with the Secret Manual.

Fang Chen warned Yue Canglan and the others that the Devil Race was far stronger than the Human Race and had established over a hundred camps deep in the Sacred Land. Though a Super Spatial Storm might destroy the camps, Yue Canglan cautioned that this was not good news.

• Fang Chen told Yue Canglan that he wanted to help the Chaos Holy Land grow stronger because he sensed a looming crisis from the Devil Race.
• Fang Chen explained that the Devil Race could overwhelm the Human Race and had built at least a hundred camps deep within the Sacred Land.
• Heavenly Seal Saint and the others were shocked when Fang Chen said the Devil Race had constructed so many camps despite the Spatial Storms.
• The Myna bird showed Yue Canglan and the others images of the Devil Race camps, confirming Fang Chen's account.
• Fang Chen said the Devil Race intended to gain control of the Sacred Land and that the Super Spatial Storm would likely destroy its camps, but Yue Canglan said that was not good news.

Fang Chen and Yue Canglan discussed the threat the Devil Race might pose now that the Sacred Land’s storms had destroyed its camps, and agreed the Human Race needed to grow stronger and unite. Fang Chen revealed his plans for the Glazed Sword Sect and his hostility toward the Ye Family and Buddhist Kingdom, then told Yue Canglan he had only just passed his eighth Saint Tribulation.

• Yue Canglan warned Fang Chen that the Devil Race might attack Human Race and other continents after losing access to the Sacred Land, and Fang Chen agreed the danger was real.
• Fang Chen said he wanted to strengthen the Glazed Sword Sect and eventually unite the Barbaric Continent, while Yue Canglan pledged his support.
• Fang Chen said he would destroy the Ye Family and Buddhist Kingdom, or at least kill their leaders, if he gained the power to unite the continent.
• Yue Canglan said he had not sensed the Quasi-Emperor Realm threshold despite his strength and cautioned that haste made waste.
• Fang Chen said he hoped passing his Ninth Saint Tribulation would let him perceive Emperor Source Power, and Yue Canglan was stunned to learn Fang Chen had only just passed his eighth.

Fang Chen learned that the Ye Family had produced a Quasi-Emperor, adding another major threat to the Glazed Sword Sect. He returned to the Origin Realm of Longevity to prepare for a possible attack while the Heavenly Seal Saint worked to repair the sect’s Teleportation Array.

• A surge of Emperor’s Might came from the southwest, and Yue Canglan identified the new Quasi-Emperor as a member of the Ye Family, though not Ye Mian.
• Fang Chen left Yue Canglan and returned to the Origin Realm of Longevity, fearing the Ye Family might attack the Glazed Sword Sect.
• The Heavenly Seal Saint and his brothers worried that the Ye Family’s Quasi-Emperor might join forces with the Buddhist Kingdom, but Fang Chen said he was ready to face them.
• Fang Chen told the Heavenly Seal Saint to finish repairing the Glazed Sword Sect’s Teleportation Array within two months while he prepared for battle.
• The Myna bird discussed the rise of Quasi-Emperors with Fang Chen, who attributed it to the revival of Spiritual Qi and lamented that Yue Canglan had not yet broken through.

Fang Chen prepared for the possibility of the Great Sun Buddha Emperor and the Ye Family’s Quasi-Emperor attacking, then brought out the Black Stone to study its power. After boosting himself with his Saint Seals and Glazed Golden Body, he tried to lift it with the Hand of the Heavens, but the stone did not move.

• Fang Chen told Huahua that he was ready to face the potential attackers and asked whether he could kill a Quasi-Emperor; Huahua said he could perhaps drive one off but needed the Black Stone to threaten one.
• Fang Chen decided to study the Black Stone with Huahua and warned Black Flame Saint that the Ye Family had a Quasi-Emperor, reassuring him that the Glazed Sword Sect could take shelter in its defenses and the Origin Realm of Longevity.
• Fang Chen used the Heaven Mending Goddess to bring the Black Stone down onto a mountain range, where its impact blasted a vast crater.
• At Huahua’s suggestion, Fang Chen activated his eight Saint Seals and Glazed Golden Body, then tried to lift the Black Stone with the Hand of the Heavens, but it remained immovable.

Fang Chen failed to move or damage the Black Stone, so he struck it with the Floating Immortal Sword to absorb its Spiritual Power and improve his Cultivation. He then decided to attack the Ye Family and Buddhist Land’s outlying territories for a faster way to grow stronger, and tested his idea by battering Huahua.

• Fang Chen summoned the Chaos Giant Manifestation and the Hand of the Heavens, but could not move the Black Stone.
• Fang Chen struck the Black Stone with the Floating Immortal Sword and absorbed more Spiritual Power than before, while Huahua pecked at its surface.
• Fang Chen realized the Multicolored Fragment had strengthened his Soul Perception and believed he was close to perceiving the Source Power of Emperors.
• Fang Chen decided to target the Ye Family and Buddhist Land’s outlying territories, using the Black Stone and Floating Immortal Sword to absorb power in battle.
• Fang Chen asked Huahua to join him, then struck the bird with the Floating Immortal Sword after Huahua’s Seals began breaking and Huahua called for more.

Fang Chen absorbed a surge of power from striking Myna bird, strengthening his Soul Origin while breaking another layer of the bird’s Seals. After Myna bird recovered its wounds and memories, Fang Chen revealed that he planned to strike the Ye Family, despite the danger of its Supreme Emperor Weapon.

• Fang Chen struck Myna bird with the Floating Immortal Sword and absorbed unusual energy that rapidly strengthened his Soul Origin.
• Fang Chen battered Myna bird for an hour, breaking another layer of its Seals and draining the energy the sword had been feeding him.
• Myna bird healed and searched its recovered memories but found no particularly impressive techniques or knowledge.
• Myna bird teased Fang Chen about taking it to a brothel, so Fang Chen threatened it and warned it not to mention brothels again.
• Fang Chen told Myna bird he wanted to hit the Ye Family hard, and Myna bird warned him that the family could use a Supreme Emperor Weapon.

Fang Chen planned a raid on the Ye Family’s outer territories, avoiding its Core Region and the full power of its Supreme Emperor Weapon. After informing Black Flame Saint and Yun Qianxue, he traveled to the Origin Realm of Longevity, where Saint Qingyuan asked him about two Azure Water Kirin Sacred Beast corpses.

• Fang Chen explained to Myna bird that he would raid the Ye Family’s outskirts, and Myna bird agreed to join him with Chi You and Little Star.
• Fang Chen told Black Flame Saint and Yun Qianxue that he planned to strike the Ye Family before its new Quasi-Emperor could threaten the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Black Flame Saint and Yun Qianxue warned Fang Chen to be careful, while he asked them to remain in the sect and train.
• Fang Chen contacted Ye Kong and traveled with Myna bird to the Origin Realm of Longevity.
• Fang Chen found Ye Kong with Saint Gu Yu and Saint Qingyuan, and Saint Qingyuan asked whether he remembered the two Azure Water Kirin Sacred Beast corpses from the Sacred Land.
