Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen joined the former Tianyuan Academy students as Palace Mistress Lingxin summoned them to discuss the Devil Race’s invasion of the Elf Continent. Lingxin urged the Human Race to help the elves, and the chapter left the gathered leaders weighing their response, with attention focused on Fang Chen’s position.

• Fang Chen arrived at Tianyuan Academy with Li Qingyao and was welcomed by former acquaintances, while Yue Fan watched enviously from the Chaos Holy Land’s group.
• Ten days later, Palace Mistress Lingxin and Saint Bai Ling arrived, both having reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
• Fang Chen learned from Li Qingyao that Lingxin might be thirty thousand years old.
• Palace Mistress Lingxin announced that the Devil Race had attacked the Elf Continent and that the Elf Queen had requested Human Race aid.
• Yue Canglan supported helping the elves, and Lingxin argued that defeating the Devil Race there would protect the Barbaric Continent; the assembled leaders looked to Fang Chen for his stance.

Fang Chen and the other Human Race leaders agreed to aid the Elf Race while keeping most of their forces on the Barbaric Continent to guard against a Devil Race invasion. He revealed Heaven Demon Powder as a possible weapon against the Devils and led the gathered leaders to the Glazed Sword Sect to demonstrate it.

• Fang Chen, Li Qingyao, and the other factions pledged support for the Elf Race after Palace Mistress Lingxin proposed sending only about one-fifth of their forces to the Elf Continent.
• Fang Chen and Li Qingyao worried that the Devil Race might exploit weakened defenses and attack the Barbaric Continent through its Forbidden Grounds.
• Palace Mistress Lingxin scheduled the journey to the Elf Continent for a year later and told everyone to return to their factions to prepare.
• Fang Chen summoned several leaders to Yaochi Holy Land and showed them Heaven Demon Powder, which he said drove Devil Race members mad and made them attack one another.
• When the Chaos Holy Lord questioned the powder's power, Fang Chen invited the leaders to the Glazed Sword Sect to witness a demonstration.

Fang Chen demonstrated Heaven Demon Powder’s devastating effect on Devil Race Powerhouses and distributed supplies to the Human Race leaders. He returned to the Glazed Sword Sect, where its members faced the coming Devil Race threat with concern, and reassured them that the sect could defend itself.

• Fang Chen led the Human Race leaders into the Eighth Layer of the Demon Cave and used the Floating Immortal Great Array to observe Devil Race Powerhouses exposed to Heaven Demon Powder.
• After several days, the Devil Race Powerhouses became frenzied and slaughtered one another, including more than a dozen Invincible Demon Saints.
• Fang Chen told the leaders that Heaven Demon Powder affected only the Devil Race and that he possessed about a million jin of it, though less than one liang had been enough to incapacitate the demons.
• Fang Chen gave Yue Canglan and the other leaders Gourds containing fifty thousand jin of Heaven Demon Powder each, then escorted them to the Teleportation Array.
• Fang Chen went to the Glazed Palace, where the Glazed Sword Sect’s Core Members worried about the approaching Devil Race, and reassured them that the sect could fight back.

Fang Chen gave the Glazed Sword Sect Heaven Demon Powder and traveled to the Buddhist Land to prepare its people for the Devil Race’s invasion. He revealed that the Demon Suppressing Abyss lay beneath Tianzhu City and left Three Burials Buddha Emperor with powder to defend it while Fang Chen headed for the Elf Continent.

• Fang Chen asked Azure Cloud Saint to distribute Heaven Demon Powder to the Glazed Sword Sect and set out for the Buddhist Land with Huahua.
• Because Heavenly Buddha City’s Teleportation Array remained flooded by the Golden Sea, Little Crane carried Fang Chen and Huahua there.
• Fang Chen told Three Burials Buddha Emperor and the Buddhist Land’s core members that the Devil Race had attacked the Elf Continent and might target the Human Race next.
• Fang Chen privately told Three Burials Buddha Emperor that the Demon Suppressing Abyss beneath Tianzhu City was a passage to the Devil Realm and that the Buddhist Kingdom existed to guard it.
• Fang Chen gave Three Burials Buddha Emperor fifty thousand kilograms of Heaven Demon Powder and instructed him to distribute it as the Buddhist Land prepared to hold the abyss.

Fang Chen brought the Buddhist Cultivators to Tianzhu City, named it the Buddhist Kingdom Capital, and planned to preach there. He explored the Demon Suppressing Abyss with the Three Burials Buddha Emperor and the Myna bird, then stopped at its dangerous depths to repair the corroded formations.

• Fang Chen sent the Three Burials Buddha Emperor and the Myna bird into the Spirit Crane Space when the Abyss's Demonic Sound overwhelmed them.
• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to withstand the Demonic Sound, judged the abyss too dangerous to explore further, and summoned the Heaven Mending Goddess to repair the corroded formations.

Fang Chen spent seven months preaching the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture in Tianzhu City, creating a vast Golden Sea and helping Lone Cloud become a Quasi-Emperor. When Tianyuan Academy summoned him to the Elf Continent, he left the Buddhist Land protected and asked Ye Qingci and Ye Kong to guard the Glazed Sword Sect against a possible Devil Race attack.

• Fang Chen returned to Tianzhu City after repairing thirty layers of Formation Runes in the Demon Suppressing Abyss and began preaching the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture.

• Fang Chen ended his sermon when Tianyuan Academy summoned him and told the Buddhist Cultivators to defend Tianzhu City and the Demon Suppressing Abyss.
• Fang Chen refused Ye Qingci's request to accompany him, and she agreed that she and Ye Kong would stay at the Glazed Sword Sect in case the Devil Race attacked.

• Ye Qingci told Ye Kong that Fang Chen wanted them to stay behind and protect the Glazed Sword Sect from a possible Devil Race invasion.
• A Black Stone fell from a Space Vortex into the sect’s central square, and its runes created a domain that overwhelmed many of the sect’s Saints.

Palace Mistress Lingxin explained that Life Forbidden Zones were burial grounds created by Great Emperors who shattered their Emperor Seals and sealed themselves away to escape the Sacred Land and await the return of the Immortal Path. Fang Chen learned that the Southern Wastes had once held the most such zones, and the chapter ended with Palace Mistress Lingxin criticizing the name of his Green Grass Great Array.
