Chapter Summaries

Su Fan’s powerful Lifeless White Bone Light Needles drew attention as he helped Qiu Daoquan’s squad fight through an insect nest and kill its Insect King. He returned to the base laden with spoils, and over the next few months survived three more hunts while the other sect disciples dismissed his luck as a fluke.

• Su Fan used the Lifeless White Bone Light Needles to clear swarms of spiders and was assigned to guard the squad’s left flank.
• Qiu Daoquan, Zhou Hanshan, Xu Miaolan, and the squad fought into the insect nest while Su Fan collected materials and later helped fend off the Insect King’s guards.
• Qiu Daoquan called for a retreat when the Insect King went berserk, and Su Fan escaped into a passage before the king was slain.
• Su Fan gathered spider legs, fangs, venom, and other materials from the Insect King, then returned with the squad to the floating base.
• Over the following months, Su Fan survived three more Insect King hunts using his needles against the swarms, while the other disciples attributed his survival to luck.

Su Fan joined Qiu Daoquan’s squad on a dangerous mission to attack a Ghost Face Worm lair beneath an island in Chishui Lake. After the squad broke through the swarms and reached the underground chamber, Su Fan realized the shrill cries were coming from a small mound rather than the largest one.

• Su Fan sold his stockpile of ordinary insect materials through a buyer Zhang Junpu found, while keeping the Insect King materials for later.
• Qiu Daoquan briefed the squad on its target, a Ghost Face Worm lair beneath an island in Chishui Lake, and the team set out the next morning.
• The squad used three demonic vessels to dive through the lair’s central cavity and blasted a path through the dense Ghost Face Worm swarm.
• Su Fan covered the squad’s rear with Lifeless White Bone Light Needles as they advanced through the underground passages toward the Insect King’s lair.
• The squad reached a chamber with one large mound and five smaller ones, and Su Fan noticed the piercing cry came from a small mound instead of the largest.

Su Fan and the team fought their way through swarms of Ghost Face Worms, only to discover that the nest held four Insect Kings and a far stronger boss. Trapped in the cavern as the attack overwhelmed the group, Su Fan unleashed the Demonic Thought he had long kept suppressed and began gathering a terrifying blood-colored storm.

• Qiu Daoquan, Zhou Hanshan, Xu Miaolan, and Su Fan helped defeat hundreds of Ghost Face Worms, while Xu Miaolan noticed Su Fan secretly controlling some with a divine soul technique.
• The team attacked an Insect King, but a second emerged and killed more than a dozen disciples with its slime before Qiu Daoquan used a bone talisman to slay the first one.
• Two more Insect Kings appeared, and the central mound shook as the true boss trapped the group inside a mist-shrouded cavern.
• As three Insect Kings attacked and nearly half the team died, the sect leaders focused on protecting their own disciples, leaving Su Fan to face the crisis alone.
• Su Fan removed his protective jade pendant and unleashed his accumulated Demonic Thought, forming a violent blood-colored storm that filled the cavern with crushing pressure.

Su Fan unleashed his Sword Intent and a barrage of techniques against a Ghost Face Worm King, killing it before the assembled cultivators and viewers across Kunxu Heaven. The remaining bug kings and the hidden super bug king still threatened the squad.

• Qiu Daoquan and Xu Miaolan sensed Su Fan gathering power as the Chunjun Demonic Sect broadcast the squad’s fight across Kunxu Heaven.
• The squad discovered that four bug kings and a super bug king were in the nest, while the Northern Nether Divine Sect’s Nascent Soul Demon Lords identified the hidden super bug king and began preparing to meet at the Chishui Lake War Zone.
• Su Fan’s grief and resentment formed a terrifying aura, and Xu Miaolan used a Divine Soul Path secret art to wake the squad before they succumbed to Demonic Thoughts.
• Su Fan struck the nearest Ghost Face Worm King with Rage Slash, then attacked it with his sword formation, Thunderclap Sword, and further sword techniques until it died.
• Cultivators watching the broadcasts across Kunxu Heaven cheered when Su Fan killed the Ghost Face Worm King.

Su Fan helped defeat the remaining Ghost Face Worm queens, then proposed hiding in their separate nests to survive the super worm queen and wait for reinforcements. The squad agreed to split up, and Su Fan chose to leave with the Chunjun Demonic Sect rather than join Xu Miaolan’s group.

• Zhang Feng warned Zhang Yao that the collateral branches of her family might target Su Fan, so she asked him to publicly treat Su Fan to a meal and protect him.
• Su Fan teamed up with Xu Miaolan to kill a worm queen while Qiu Daoquan and Zhou Hanshan defeated another with their allies.
• Su Fan realized the super worm queen would soon emerge and suggested the squad hide in the four queens’ separate nests until reinforcements arrived.
• Qiu Daoquan and the others accepted Su Fan’s plan and decided to divide into three groups according to their sects.
• Xu Miaolan invited Su Fan to join the Heart Demon Divine Hall group, but he declined and left with Zhang Junpu and the Chunjun Demonic Sect.

Su Fan and the other cultivators were trapped in the Ghost Face Worm’s nest as the Super Insect King emerged and began killing those hiding inside. With escape seeming impossible, Su Fan gambled on surviving by entering the river of Nine Nether Profound Water to cultivate the fourth stage of the Demonic Saint Body Art.

• Su Fan and the Chunjun Demonic Sect disciples explored an insect king’s nest and discovered that its underground passages all ended at a river of deadly Nine Nether Profound Water.
• Qiu Daoquan told the group that Human Race forces were gathering outside Chishui Lake, but insects from across the Yunze Realm had surrounded the nest, leaving them trapped.
• Su Fan hid in a passage and prepared defensive artifacts as the Super Insect King emerged; its hiss shattered his soul-protecting artifacts and killed more than a dozen disciples.
• The Super Insect King’s aura crushed the cultivators, and the group learned that the Xuan Yue Demonic Sect’s nest had been destroyed and its members had vanished.
• Su Fan used Blood Escape to reach the river and plunged into the Nine Nether Profound Water, gambling that he could survive by cultivating the Demonic Saint Body Art’s fourth stage.

Qiu Daoquan and the surviving members of his squad were trapped beneath the lakebed while human Nascent Soul Demon Lords fought the super Worm King above. Su Fan used the fourth-stage Demonic Saint Body Art to absorb the Nine Nether Profound Water, but his body was nearly destroyed.

• The super Worm King left its nest and fought several human Nascent Soul cultivators, leaving Qiu Daoquan and the others buried underground.
• Zhang Junpu told Qiu Daoquan that eight other squad members remained alive, including Xu Miaolan, and the survivors began preparing to heal and wait for a chance to escape.
• A newcomer reported that the Recording Formation Disks were still in the nest and that the super Worm King had gone outside.
• Su Fan's body began breaking apart under the pressure and cold of the Nine Nether Profound Water.
• Su Fan circulated the fourth-stage Demonic Saint Body Art, drawing the frigid aura into his Dao Seed, though his body was left almost beyond recognition.

Su Fan survived the Nine Nether Profound Water and completed the fourth level of the Demonic Saint Body Art, then explored the Super Worm King’s nest while the surviving team remained trapped behind its barrier. After confirming the barrier still held, he prepared to return below, but an approaching danger left him thinking he was in serious trouble.

• Su Fan completed the fourth level of the Demonic Saint Body Art, gained greatly increased strength, and discovered that his dao seed had absorbed a vast amount of Nine Nether Profound Water.
• Su Fan contacted Zhang Junpu and the other survivors, learned that only a dozen or so members of the elite team remained, and was told that the Super Worm King’s barrier still trapped them.
• Su Fan found and stored the Super Worm King’s enormous shed insect skins, then emerged into the upper insect cave as cultivators watching the light screens cheered.
• Su Fan confirmed that the barrier remained and prepared to return to the survivors, but a series of violent booms shook the insect cave.
• Su Fan moved toward the mound, then looked up in horror as a new threat appeared.

Su Fan killed the badly wounded Ghost Face Worm Super Insect King with Annihilation Thunder Pellets and a relentless sword assault, saving the survivors trapped in the nest. His feat was announced across Kunxu Heaven, leaving the Northern Nether Divine Sect’s disciples and elders wondering who he was as Demon Lord Qianhuan explained that he had brought Su Fan from Xuanluo Realm.

• Su Fan climbed onto the mound, found the injured Super Insect King asleep, and threw more than twenty Annihilation Thunder Pellets into the wound on its head.
• The Super Insect King awoke and blocked Su Fan’s escape, but the pellets exploded and severely damaged it; Su Fan survived the blast and charged back into the fight.
• Su Fan struck the Super Insect King’s wounds with his sword and other weapons until it stopped moving, then learned from Zhang Junpu that it appeared to be dead.
• The surviving disciples rejoiced, and a light screen announced that Northern Nether Divine Sect disciple Su Fan had slain the Super Insect King.
• Northern Nether Divine Sect disciples and elders questioned Su Fan’s identity, and Demon Lord Qianhuan told Senior Brother Cangshan that he had brought Su Fan from Xuanluo Realm.

After Su Fan killed the Nine-tailed Scorpion King while defending the Ghost Face Worm’s corpse, cultivators across Kunxu Heaven watched him become famous. The Northern Nether Divine Sect’s elders moved to reward and protect him, while the Chunjun Demonic Sect’s leaders sought to recruit him for the upcoming Time-Space Arena.

• Demon Lord Cangshan learned that Su Fan had been sent alone to Yunze Realm and ordered that he be promoted to an elite disciple and handsomely rewarded upon his return.
• Zhang Yao discovered that Zhang Song had colluded with Zhuang He to send Su Fan into danger, traced Zhuang He’s connection to Song Yi, and blacklisted Song Yi.
• Su Fan sent Sister Zhen and Yaksha to collect the Ghost Face Worm Super Insect King’s valuable materials, then fought off waves of insects to protect the corpse.
• Su Fan transformed into a Shadow Ghost Demon and used invisibility and repeated attacks to kill the Nine-tailed Scorpion King, stunning cultivators watching across Kunxu Heaven.
• Chunjun Demonic Sect’s Nascent Soul Demon Lords learned that Su Fan was a neglected Golden Core disciple and decided to include him in the upcoming Time-Space Arena.

After killing the Ghost Face Worm super insect king, Su Fan left the Yunze Realm with Qiu Daoquan, who recruited him for the Chunjun Demonic Sect and brought him to its territory. Meanwhile, the Northern Nether Divine Sect learned that Su Fan had already gone and lamented that another sect had recruited him first.

• Su Fan rejoined Qiu Daoquan's surviving squad, where the recording showed him killing the super insect king and the Nine-tailed Scorpion insect king.
• Qiu Daoquan offered to bring Su Fan into the Chunjun Demonic Sect as an Inner Sect Disciple, and Su Fan agreed to leave the Yunze Realm with him while considering the offer.
• After the Human Race forces defeated the insect army, Qiu Daoquan took Su Fan through a plane passage to Kunxu Heaven and arranged a Cave Mansion for him near the Chunjun Demonic Sect.
• Demon Lord Cangshan learned that Su Fan had already followed Qiu Daoquan to Kunxu Heaven and regretted that the Chunjun Demonic Sect had recruited him first.

Su Fan trained in seclusion while waiting to join the Chunjun Demonic Sect, then received powerful gifts from Zhang Junpu and the sect. Qiu Daoquan told him to enter the sect the next day as an Inner Sect disciple and take an internal trial before becoming an elite disciple.

• Su Fan practiced Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes until exhaustion and reflected on his need for stronger trump cards and a new body-cultivation technique.
• Zhang Junpu visited Su Fan, shared breakfast with him, and gave him two Fourth-tier Bone Talismans in thanks for saving his life.
• Su Fan learned from Zhang Junpu that few sects in the Azure Sky Star Domain focused on body cultivation and that Zhang Junpu planned to return to the Plane Battlefield.
• Qiu Daoquan arrived and told Su Fan that Kui Yin Demon Lord had taken an interest in his entry into the Chunjun Demonic Sect, but he would need to pass an internal trial before becoming an elite disciple.
• Qiu Daoquan gave Su Fan a sect reward containing a Fourth-tier Bone Talisman, a Soul Devouring Forgetful River Bell artifact blank, valuable pills, a Netherworld Town Fiend Treasure Robe, and other cultivation resources.
• Su Fan accepted the gifts and prepared to go with Qiu Daoquan to complete his sect-entry procedures the next day.

Su Fan joined the Chunjun Demonic Sect as a Golden Core Elder and secured ten years without sect missions. He settled into an easy post at the Scripture Hall, where he could cultivate and read freely, while Sister Zhen received a rare ghost-path treasure.

• Su Fan told Zhang Yao he was joining the Chunjun Demonic Sect, and she decided to enter seclusion after Demon Lord Cangshan urged her to cultivate.
• Qiu Daoquan brought Su Fan to meet Demon Lord Jialuo, who recognized his Lightning Dao Body and granted him ten years without sect missions before requiring him to complete one mission.
• Qiu Daoquan completed Su Fan's entry procedures, chose him a Cave Mansion, and gave him the Nether Seal, which Su Fan passed to Sister Zhen.
• Su Fan went to the Scripture Hall, where Qiu Zhi helped him register and kept his identity as the cultivator who killed a super insect king discreet.
• Su Fan became a Golden Core Elder of the Scripture Hall, serving only four days each month and gaining access to its books, including the eighth floor.

Su Fan settled into his secluded Cave Mansion and fashioned a comfortable life while serving quietly in the Scripture Hall. Rumors about his background and lack of ambition spread through the Chunjun Demonic Sect, but he ignored them and remained content in obscurity.

• Su Fan inspected his new Cave Mansion, discovered its precious furnishings and abandoned Spirit Field, and spent several days renovating the valley to resemble his former home.
• Su Fan began serving as a duty elder in the Scripture Hall, where Chu Han visited him and later joined the other disciples in speculating about his background.
• Su Fan overheard the disciples invent a story that he might be a Devil Lord’s lost son and hoped the rumor would spread.
• Su Fan spent his days cultivating, crafting, and reading the Scripture Hall’s books while avoiding attention and enjoying his quiet routine.
• The disciples’ rumors spread across Magic Cloud Peak, and many sect members came to view Su Fan as an unambitious, weak Golden Core cultivator; he ignored their disdain and faded into obscurity.

Su Fan reunited with Zhang Junpu, who offered to help bring Su Fan’s family from the Profound Luo Realm to Kunxu Heaven when the clan’s spacetime fleet next traveled there. After hearing about the deadly Spacetime Arena, Su Fan avoided the prospect and focused on crafting a powerful Soul-Devouring Wangchuan Bell, accidentally knocking out disciples at the Scripture Repository before leaving his duty post.

• Zhang Junpu visited Su Fan at the Scripture Repository, and they talked over tea about their past, Su Fan’s Dao companions, and his daughter in the Profound Luo Realm.
• Zhang Junpu promised to ask about bringing Su Fan’s family across planes on the clan’s spacetime fleet, though the next journey would not depart for ten or eight years.
• Zhang Junpu told Su Fan that only the sect’s top ten competition disciples could enter the Spacetime Arena and that most of those sent there never returned, so Su Fan declined to go.
• Su Fan fused the Withered Bone Demon Viper Whip into the Soul-Devouring Wangchuan Bell and tested its sound wave, accidentally causing more than a hundred disciples at the Scripture Repository to faint.
• Su Fan confirmed that the bell could attack souls, protect his own soul, and unleash a Withered-Bone Demon Viper essence soul, then left the Scripture Repository after handing over his duties.

Su Fan spent three peaceful years cultivating and serving in the Chunjun Demonic Sect’s Scripture Hall, keeping his formidable strength hidden. When Xu Miaolan and Qiu Daoquan visited to thank him and ask for his help, he declined, while Chu Han learned that Su Fan was far more important than she had realized and went to apologize.

• Su Fan continued cultivating and studying in the Scripture Hall after three years in the sect, where an elder’s death increased his monthly service to five days.
• Qiu Daoquan and Xu Miaolan visited Su Fan, and the hall’s disciples—including Chu Han—showed Qiu Daoquan great respect while treating Su Fan casually.
• Xu Miaolan thanked Su Fan for saving her life with a Storage Ring and asked him to make a move, but Su Fan refused because he wanted to enjoy a quiet life.
• Qiu Daoquan warned Chu Han to respect Su Fan, and Chu Han’s Third Grandfather sternly told her not to ask about Su Fan again.
• Realizing Su Fan was no ordinary cultivator, Chu Han went to his quarters and respectfully announced herself.

Su Fan received Xu Miaolan’s gifts, resisted her bewitchment, and sought Zhang Junpu’s help with the desire her spell stirred up. He agreed to travel with Zhang Junpu and Qiu Daoquan to Tianyou Immortal City, where he hoped to sell rare materials.

• Chu Han visited Su Fan and revealed that Qiu Daoquan was her granduncle’s master, prompting Su Fan to suspect she had been advised to treat him with respect.
• Su Fan examined Xu Miaolan’s gifts: a talisman that could imitate a Nascent Soul Demon Lord’s aura, a Joyful Union cultivation art, and her undergarment, which he burned; Xu Miaolan’s phantom appeared and tried to persuade him to cultivate with her, but he refused.
• After Xu Miaolan vanished, Su Fan called Zhang Junpu for help, and Zhang Junpu explained that the lingering desire came from Su Fan’s own pent-up fire rather than a curse.
• Su Fan hosted Zhang Junpu for food and wine, then agreed to join him and Qiu Daoquan on a trip to Tianyou Immortal City, hoping to sell his super insect king materials.
• Su Fan stayed in his quarters during his final days at the Scripture Hall, enduring Chu Han’s visits and the lingering effects of Xu Miaolan’s bewitchment.
• Several days later, Su Fan traveled with Qiu Daoquan and Zhang Junpu by Teleportation Array to Tianyou Immortal City.

Su Fan entered Tianyou Immortal City with Qiu Daoquan and Zhang Junpu, then joined them for an extravagant meal at Wushan Residence, where rare Spirit Food boosted his cultivation. After meeting elite disciples of the Moxuan Divine Sect, Su Fan grew wary when Senior Sister Suyun asked to exchange Communication Formation Disk imprints with him.

• Su Fan entered Tianyou Immortal City with Qiu Daoquan and Zhang Junpu and learned that Chunjun Demonic Sect disciples could stay for free at Qiuhong Inn.
• Qiu Daoquan took Su Fan and Zhang Junpu to Wushan Residence, where Zhang Junpu ran into Senior Brother Huaishan and joined a gathering with Senior Brother Daoling and Senior Sister Suyun.

• Senior Sister Suyun questioned Qiu Daoquan about Su Fan's strength, and Qiu Daoquan described Su Fan as a powerful body cultivator who avoided fighting.
• Senior Sister Suyun exchanged Communication Formation Disk imprints with Zhang Junpu and Su Fan, leaving Su Fan suspicious that she had taken an interest in him.

Su Fan sold the Ghost Face Worm super insect king’s materials in Tianyou Immortal City and searched for inspiration for his Natal Magic Treasure. Senior Sister Suyun repeatedly tried to recruit him for a Plane Battlefield mission by offering treasured refining inheritances, but he refused, leaving her furious and himself relieved.

• Su Fan sold the super insect king’s supreme-grade materials, consigned its core at Star Picking Tower, and received a VIP jade talisman.
• Senior Sister Suyun asked Su Fan to join her team as a body cultivator on a Plane Battlefield mission, offering a family inheritance for refining a Natal Magic Treasure, but he declined.
• Senior Sister Suyun discussed Su Fan with Senior Brother Daoling and decided to try again, while Su Fan spent two days wrestling with his doubts about her offer.
• Senior Sister Suyun contacted Su Fan again and offered an inheritance she had obtained herself, but he refused and ended the call.
• Senior Sister Suyun smashed her Communication Formation Disk in anger, while Su Fan felt relieved after letting go of his temptation.

Su Fan agreed to join Senior Sister Suyun and her team on a mission to Great Desolate Heaven after Qiu Daoquan and Zhang Junpu negotiated extravagant conditions on his behalf. After preparing for the journey, Su Fan met the Moxuan Divine Sect team and departed Tianyou Immortal City with them.
