• The Nascent Soul True Lords divided the cultivators into four groups, and Su Fan boarded the spatial flying vessel with Senior Brother Qin Cheng’s group as it departed.

In the flying ship’s hall, he realized a young formation cultivator was being manipulated and demanded one hundred High-grade Spirit Stones from Luo Yuan for the tea table.

• Su Fan reviewed his techniques and decided to develop more varied methods against Ghost Clan cultivators and other enemies from the Ghost Bone Star Domain.
• Su Fan raised four fused spells toward the Evolutionary Realm and considered how his poison, sword techniques, and other abilities could support his future battles.
• Su Fan left his Portable Secret Realm, bought an overpriced pot of Spirit Tea, and joined a table where three formation cultivators, including Senior Sister Ziqin, were chatting.
• Su Fan recognized that Senior Brother Liu Yuan was steering Senior Sister Ziqin toward Luo Yuan, though she believed Luo Yuan would answer her questions about formations.
• Luo Yuan asked Su Fan to give up the tea table, and Su Fan replied that it would cost one hundred High-grade Spirit Stones.

Su Fan reached the remote valley where the Star Domain Alliance was preparing a Space Gate behind enemy lines, then was assigned to guard the formation cultivators building defenses. Among his assigned workers was Senior Sister Ziqin, and he took her group into the mountains on his Ghost Crow after revealing it could turn invisible.

• Su Fan extorted a hundred High-grade Spirit Stones from True Person Luoyuan, then returned to his Portable Secret Realm to improve the Life-Taking Curse Kill Technique using his imprisoned Sulong cultivators as targets.
• After nearly three months of travel, Su Fan and the others reached a secluded mountain valley where cultivators were preparing to establish a Space Gate.
• Su Fan realized the mission aimed to open a route behind enemy lines and was assigned to guard Path of Formations cultivators constructing a Defensive Array around the valley.
• True Person Luoyuan led the formation cultivators assigned to Su Fan, including Senior Sister Ziqin, whom Su Fan recognized from the tea stand.
• Senior Sister Ziqin questioned whether riding Su Fan's conspicuous Ghost Crow would expose their mission, but Su Fan assured her it could become invisible.
• Su Fan, Senior Sister Ziqin, and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators mounted the Ghost Crow, which flew into the sky and vanished.

Su Fan supervised Senior Sister Ziqin and the other Formation Path disciples as they set up a Defensive Array, while he relaxed nearby with Sister Zhen and Yaksha guarding them. The work was interrupted when a powerful Unicorn Dragon Carp burst from the ground beside Ziqin, leaving her facing death as the chapter ended.

• Senior Sister Ziqin explained the first formation node to Su Fan, and the Ghost Crow carried the group there before Su Fan handed the disciples communication artifacts and sent them to work.
• Su Fan summoned Sister Zhen and Yaksha to guard the disciples, then shared tea with Sister Zhen and reminisced about Luosha.
• Senior Sister Ziqin and the other disciples worked through the day, while Su Fan rested nearby and Yaksha watched over them.
• Senior Sister Ziqin activated an Earth Splitting Talisman and placed a formation disk in a pit, but a Unicorn Dragon Carp erupted from the ground and threw her aside.
• Senior Sister Ziqin recognized the third-tier beast and, with her companions fleeing, closed her eyes and accepted that she was about to die.

Su Fan subdued a Unicorn Dragon Carp and let Senior Sister Ziqin’s group use it to finish arranging their Defensive Array nodes ahead of schedule. When the Space Gate activated before the array could protect them, Su Fan hid the group in a cavern and used the corpses of Sulong cultivators to conceal their presence, leaving them to wait safely inside.

• Su Fan sensed the sleeping Unicorn Dragon Carp, overwhelmed it with curse and soul techniques, and planted a wisp of his Divine Soul in it.
• Su Fan gave Senior Sister Ziqin a jade talisman to control the Unicorn Dragon Carp, which helped her group complete their Defensive Array nodes two days early.
• The Defensive Array test was delayed by faulty nodes, and the Space Gate activated before the group could return to the valley.
• When the Defensive Array sealed the valley, Su Fan ordered the Unicorn Dragon Carp to bore a cave in a nearby cliff and brought the group inside.
• Su Fan used the corpses of more than a hundred Sulong cultivators to form a Nirvana Stealth witch formation that hid the group's auras.
• Su Fan told the others to stay in the cavern and gave Senior Sister Ziqin a spirit-beast bag to store the Unicorn Dragon Carp.

Su Fan fled after two Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivators tracked him through the lingering bloodline aura of Lundu, while the Star Domain Alliance’s surprise offensive began. As Su Fan struggled to escape, a third Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared, leaving him facing an even greater threat.

• A Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivator sensed Lundu’s bloodline aura near Su Fan and crushed the mountain hiding him, burying the other formation disciples as Su Fan escaped with Senior Sister Ziqin on the Unicorn Dragon Carp.
• Bagen and Baisu tracked Su Fan through Lundu’s lingering bloodline aura and pursued him, while the Azure Sky Star Domain’s elite forces emerged through the Space Gate and the Star Domain Alliance launched its offensive.
• Su Fan separated from Senior Sister Ziqin and used repeated blood escapes, confirming that Bagen and Baisu were pursuing him rather than her.
• Su Fan realized his pursuers could keep finding his general location and feared his blood and qi would run out before he escaped.
• Su Fan sensed another Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivator approaching and feared he could not survive the pursuit of three enemies.

Su Fan escaped the Ghost Clan pursuers by infiltrating a Sulong stronghold and teleporting to a base city, where he hid while recovering his depleted blood and qi. The Ghost Clan continued closing in as the Wu God offered to help him reach Nascent Soul if he blood-sacrificed the city, and Su Fan postponed the choice until its Deity Transformation Celestial Venerable left.

• Su Fan disguised himself as a Sulong cultivator, seized control of a stronghold’s Teleportation Array, and escaped just before Baisu and the other Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivators destroyed the stronghold.
• Duan Lun learned that Su Fan had teleported away and reported his location to Venerable Balong while the Ghost Clan began withdrawing from the front and preparing to invade the Dong Yuan Star Domain with allied races.

• Su Fan learned that his blood and qi might take half a year to recover and that the Star Domain Alliance would need months to reach the city.
• The Wu God offered to help Su Fan break through to Nascent Soul if he blood-sacrificed the city, then told him its Deity Transformation Celestial Venerable would leave in a few days; Su Fan chose to discuss it later.

With the base's Deity Transformation guardian gone and its Teleportation Arrays shut down, Su Fan was left trapped and in immediate danger.

• Su Fan calmed himself after nearly being tempted by the Witch God's promise of a Nascent Soul breakthrough, while Ghost Clan cultivators gathered outside the Sulong base searching for him.
• Luosha's Witch God Clone told her they would go see Su Fan, who was about to blood-sacrifice a million Sulong People, and revealed the Witch God's connection to Su Fan as her Human Flesh Divine Pagoda.
• Su Fan told Demon Venerable Dong Ming he was trapped in the Sulong base, but Dong Ming said he could not leave to rescue him.

• Su Fan planned to escape through the city's Teleportation Array, but the Witch God told him that all Teleportation Arrays in the Sulong Star Domain had been shut down.

Trapped in the Sulong base with Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivators closing in, Su Fan prepared to use a blood sacrifice to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. As the Ghost Clan attacked and the Witch God’s plans raised new questions about Su Fan’s fate, he began absorbing the deaths across the city and was protected by a blood-colored Witch Array.

After enduring the first three lightning tribulations with his body, he faced the brewing fourth as the Witch God Main Body watched from afar.

• Bagen and the other Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivators demolished the Sulong People's base and massacred its inhabitants while Duan Lun and Baisu searched for Su Fan.
• Baisu found the remains of a Devil Sect technique, and Duan Lun sensed Su Fan underground at the center of the base.

• The cultivator's lightning-wrapped flying sword shattered the fourth tribulation and cleaved through the bolts of the fifth and sixth, stunning the Ghost Clan onlookers.
• The seventh tribulation descended with overwhelming force, but the cultivator's Sword Aura shattered its lightning and displayed an ancient sword cultivator's Evolutionary Intent.
• The Witch God Main Body and Clone wondered how the cultivator had mastered so many different paths, while Duan Lun resolved to kill him after the tribulation.
• The cultivator faced the eighth tribulation as a demonic Ancient Fierce Tiger, smashing lightning with Fierce Tiger Collapse and then using other ancient-monster forms to break the remaining bolts.
• The ninth tribulation gathered into a vast black vortex and struck the valley with a blinding blast and violent storm, leaving Duan Lun wondering if the cultivator had died.

Su Fan survived his Nascent Soul breakthrough, including the Nine-Layered Lightning Tribulation and heart demon ordeal, while the Witch God helped shield him from the Ghost Clan.

• The Ghost Clan cultivators smashed through the final barrier, and Su Fan vowed to kill them for obstructing his breakthrough.

Su Fan broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, ambushed and killed six Ghost Clan Nascent Soul Cultivators, then escaped their tracking array and fled tens of thousands of miles away. Several days later, he was stabilizing his cultivation in the Portable Secret Realm and swore revenge on the Ghost Clan.
