Chapter Summaries

After returning from the fragment space as the Chaoguang Star Domain’s top-ranked cultivator, Su Fan rewarded Chen Rong with a Portable Secret Realm and accepted gifts from visiting sect disciples.

Su Fan examined three rewards for his mission: abundant cultivation resources, supplies for a breakthrough, and an ancient turtle shell whose star map injured his soul.

He spent the following days collecting rewards and attending banquets, then woke after a night with Chen Rong and the other girls.

• Chen Rong and the girls rushed to apologize for oversleeping, and Su Fan reassured them that he had used a spell to let them rest longer.

Su Fan met Senior Brother Fan He, Senior Brother Nanming, Chen Qing, and Shen Fang in Liuxianju, where Hanhai Dao Palace tried to recruit him. He declined to decide immediately because of his feud with the Feng Family, while Senior Brother Fan He privately warned him not to expect a sect to protect him and revealed that Su Fan possessed a Demon Seed.

Su Fan considered joining Hanhai Dao Palace under a new identity and gave Chen Qing and Shen Fang precious cultivation resources before they returned to their sect. After a drunken night with Chen Qing, he woke with only hazy memories, and her messages confirmed that they had been intimate before she left him a keepsake and farewell.

• Su Fan messaged Chen Qing, who admitted she had fulfilled one of her wishes and taken a handkerchief stained with first blood as a keepsake.

Su Fan discussed the Feng Family’s threat with Venerable Hongchang, who urged him to give up his public honors and escape, then gave him a reward and a jade talisman. Su Fan planned to use the offered escape routes to mislead his pursuers while secretly seeking a way to kill Feng Qingshu, but he still lacked a refuge he could trust.

• Su Fan learned Chen Qing would not reply, then comforted Chen Rong before Venerable Hongchang appeared at his Cave Mansion.
• Venerable Hongchang discussed the Feng Family’s power and advised Su Fan to abandon his reputation and avoid its retaliation.
• Su Fan told Venerable Hongchang about his plan with Hanhai Dao Palace, and Hongchang gave him Crimson Cloud Heaven’s reward and a jade talisman pointing to an old escape route.
• After Hongchang left, Su Fan decided not to trust any offered refuge outright and planned to visit the routes to mislead the Feng Family and Forgetfulness River Palace.
• Su Fan remained determined to kill Feng Qingshu before changing identities, but he could not find a reliable place to hide.

Su Fan studied the Hanhai Dao Palace’s Dragon Elephant Swallows Origin Blood Refining Profound Art and realized it might help him control the bloodline of an Otherworldly Integration Great Demon. As the Feng Family’s pursuit tightened around the sect, he prepared to keep attending gatherings to disguise his plans, then suddenly hit upon an idea.

• Su Fan reviewed the Dragon Elephant Swallows Origin Blood Refining Profound Art after an unknown Hanhai Dao Palace expert urged him to study it, and found insights that could help him refine his demonic bloodline.

• Senior Brother Nanming invited Su Fan to another gathering, and Su Fan agreed to attend despite his exhaustion.
• Su Fan sensed that Feng Family agents were monitoring him inside the Hanhai Dao Palace and concluded that the family had an insider in the sect.
• Su Fan lamented that he could not find a secret technique to hide himself from powerful divination cultivators, then suddenly came up with an idea.

Su Fan learned an evil technique from Evil Buddha Wang De to conceal himself from powerful divination cultivators and spent months tempering an Integration Stage extraterrestrial great demon’s bloodline. As the Feng Family prepared to capture him, Su Fan recovered, returned to his Cave Mansion, and entered seclusion again.

• Su Fan summoned Evil Buddha Wang De, who agreed to teach him a heavenly-secrets-concealing technique in exchange for an end to his imprisonment.
• Wang De taught Su Fan a cruel demonic secret technique that seized another person’s fortune and disrupted divination; Su Fan planned to use Feng Family members as its targets.
• Su Fan entered the Portable Secret Realm and began tempering the Integration Stage extraterrestrial great demon’s bloodline, enduring a painful first attempt before completing one round after two months.
• Immortal Venerable Xuanwu learned that Su Fan had left Hanhai Dao Palace for a gathering and ordered the Feng Family to prepare to close its net the following month.
• After attending gatherings for more than ten days, Su Fan returned to his Cave Mansion, set up a Grade Eight defensive formation, and entered seclusion.

Su Fan used a wooden avatar and Witchcraft School blood sacrifice to slip unnoticed out of the Hanhai Dao Palace, then disguised himself as an evil cultivator and left by teleportation array. Months later, the Feng Family still believed he was in seclusion until the sect’s old ancestor discovered his escape and told Zhou Xuan to inform them.

• Su Fan summoned an identical avatar to cultivate in his Cave Mansion and used a Witchcraft School ritual to hide his aura long enough to leave the Hanhai Dao Palace unnoticed.
• Su Fan stole an evil Golden Core cultivator’s aura and appearance, then entered the teleportation array in Hanhai Immortal City.
• The Feng Family waited for months, while an auxiliary Immortal Treasure detected Su Fan’s avatar and reassured them that he remained in seclusion.
• Immortal Venerable Xuanwu and Senior Brother Nanming grew suspicious, but neither could confirm that Su Fan had left.
• Zhou Xuan visited the sect’s old ancestor, who pierced Su Fan’s array, recognized the Witchcraft School blood sacrifice, and confirmed that Su Fan had escaped.
• The old ancestor ordered Zhou Xuan to notify the Feng Family, and Zhou Xuan sent them the news.

The Feng Family learned that Su Fan had escaped and used divination to track him, but the masters produced two distant, conflicting locations. They sent forces to search both planes and sought help from Blood Spirit Old Demon, while Su Fan arrived in Qingtan Immortal City in Kunyuan Heaven.

• Immortal Venerable Xuanwu told the Feng Family that Su Fan had vanished from Hanhai Dao Palace, prompting the lineage to summon elders and divination masters.
• The two Void Refining Stage divination masters separately located Su Fan in Luoshui Immortal City, Kaiyang Heaven, and Qixia Immortal City, Yunsang Heaven.
• Feng Changting ordered searches of both planes and dispatched several hundred Deity Transformation Stage cultivators after the masters repeated the same results three days later.
• Feng Changting asked the divination masters to introduce him to Blood Spirit Old Demon, who could potentially locate Su Fan despite his concealment technique.
• Su Fan arrived by flying vessel at Qingtan Immortal City in Kunyuan Heaven.

Su Fan infiltrated the Feng Family’s territory in Kunyuan Heaven and learned that its defenses were unusually weak while most of its powerful cultivators were away hunting him. As he prepared to kill Feng Qingshu, Feng Qingshu tried to escape his confinement, and a sudden sense of danger struck one of the guards.

• Su Fan reached Qingtan Immortal City under an assumed identity, rested, and learned that the Feng Family’s base was in Maple Mountain Market Town.
• Su Fan changed identities again, traveled to Maple Mountain Market Town, and spent several days planning his attack and escape routes.
• Su Fan learned that most of the Feng Family’s powerful cultivators had left to hunt him and that Feng Qingshu had been confined to a remote courtyard.
• Feng Qingshu woke beside a dead woman, ordered his servants to clean up, and asked Qi Feng to help him leave the courtyard.
• Feng Qingshu ran into the guards, but they stopped him and Qi Feng dragged him back inside.
• A Feng Family disciple arrived with orders from the second branch, and one guard sensed danger before he could finish speaking.

Su Fan killed the two Deity Transformation Stage attendants guarding Feng Qingshu, captured the market town’s cultivators, and escaped before the Feng Family noticed. As he left Kunyuan Heaven, coordinated explosions devastated the Feng Family’s territory, and two Ancestors appeared amid the ruins.

• Su Fan ambushed and killed the two Feng Family Deity Transformation Stage Attendants, capturing their Yin Gods in the Gathering Yin Secret Realm.
• Su Fan’s Spiritual Sense knocked out the market town’s cultivators, and Yaksha and Sister Zhen captured everyone while Sister Zhen stripped the town bare.
• Su Fan sent Feng Qingshu into the secret realm, activated the town’s Defensive Array, and escaped through several identities and teleportation stops before boarding a Star Domain Flying Boat.
• Feng Family disciples found Xiushan Market sealed, then were caught in the blast from Red Soil Ridge; several of them died as the explosion wrecked the Feng Family’s largest spirit mine.
• Explosions struck Feng Family cities, market towns, and resource sites across its territory, and the Feng Family’s two Ancestors appeared as the cultivators bowed to them.

Su Fan devastated the Feng Family’s resource sites with timed Immortal Talismans, then escaped Kunyuan Heaven while the family investigated the attack. Feng Xuanwu suspected Su Fan was responsible, and Su Fan left with Feng Qingshu’s Shade Soul in Evil Buddha Wang De’s hands.

• Su Fan detonated talismans across the Feng Family’s territory, destroying spirit stone veins and other resource sites while the blast at Red Soil Ridge drew the family’s forces away.
• The Feng Family recalled its cultivators and sought help from Kunyuan Heaven’s major sects, while its investigation linked several vanished identities to one cautious attacker.
• Feng Xuanwu and his brother inspected ruined Xiushan Market and realized Su Fan was likely behind the destruction and Feng Qingshu’s death.
• Su Fan escaped through several planes using changing appearances and routes, leaving false traces to hinder the Feng Family’s search.
• Aboard his final Star Domain Flying Boat, Su Fan showed Feng Qingshu’s Shade Soul burning in his lamp dharma treasure, and Evil Buddha Wang De promised to torment it.

Feng Xuanwu’s divination search confirmed that Su Fan had appeared in Tide Sea Immortal City in Kunyuan Heaven, leading the Feng Family to uncover his route and launch a Star Domain-wide hunt. The family’s investigation traced him only as far as Seven Stars Immortal City in Huangli Heaven, leaving his current whereabouts unknown.

• Feng Xuanwu persuaded the Feng Family elders to let him investigate and gathered more than ten Void Refining Stage diviners.
• The diviners gave scattered results, but the last one identified Tide Sea Immortal City in Kunyuan Heaven, confirming Su Fan’s connection to the attack.
• Feng Xuanwu reported the result, and the furious Feng Family mobilized its resources and allies to investigate Su Fan’s movements.
• The Feng Family reconstructed Su Fan’s cautious route through Kunyuan Heaven and traced him to Seven Stars Immortal City in Huangli Heaven before losing his trail.
• The Feng Family issued a massive bounty across the Chaoguang Star Domain, recruited underground organizations, and planned to use diviners to narrow the search.

After Su Fan’s attack on the Feng Family, accounts of Feng Qingshu’s crimes turned public opinion against the family and left its allies backing away. Su Fan remained in hiding while Senior Brother Fan He reassured Chen Qing that he was alive and learned that the Feng Family was hiring diviners and assassins to find him.

• News of Su Fan’s bounty and the destruction of the Feng Family’s resource sites spread across the Chaoguang Star Domain, while victims of Feng Qingshu and their families circulated evidence of his crimes.
• As cultivators learned how the Feng Family had repeatedly targeted Su Fan, public opinion shifted in his favor, and sects and families condemned Feng Qingshu, declared neutrality, and removed Su Fan from some bounty lists.

• Shi Guangfeng and Senior Brother Fan He discussed how Feng Qingshu’s actions had brought disaster on the Feng Family and prompted elders to warn their younger disciples against abusing family influence.
• Senior Brother Fan He received a message from Su Fan, who asked whether Chen Qing had been affected and refused help because he trusted neither Fan He’s family nor anyone else.
• Senior Brother Fan He warned Su Fan that the Feng Family had hired diviners, evil organizations, and assassins, but Su Fan said they would not find him and ended the conversation.

The Feng Family enlisted the Blood Spirit Old Demon to locate Su Fan, and his divination traced him to the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins. While the family searched its travel records for him, Su Fan arrived there aboard a Star Domain Flying Boat.

• Feng Xuanwu learned that the Blood Spirit Old Demon had arrived and privately asked him to find Su Fan in exchange for one hundred thousand cultivators' flesh and blood.
• The Blood Spirit Old Demon used Su Fan's blood essence, obtained from Northern Dome Immortal Sect, to trace his aura to the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins.
• Feng Xuanwu agreed to the Blood Spirit Old Demon's terms, and the Old Demon offered to accompany the Feng Family to the ruins.
• The Feng Family investigated the registered travelers to the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins but found no suspicious identities.
• Su Fan stepped off a Star Domain Flying Boat at the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins.

Su Fan reached the Heavenly Ruins Market after entering the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins through smuggling routes, then abandoned his borrowed human identity and hid in the Devil Race residential district. The Feng Family tracked him to the eastern part of the city with Blood Spirit Old Demon’s spell, while Evil Buddha Wang De warned Su Fan that someone was searching for him with a Blood Path secret technique.

• Su Fan paid for the identity Wang Hai and boarded a flying boat to the Heavenly Ruins Market, using a secret technique to enter the city without trouble.
• Su Fan switched to a Devil Race disguise after killing an isolated Devil Race Cultivator, and settled in the Devil Race residential district.

• Evil Buddha Wang De warned Su Fan that someone was using a Blood Path secret technique to find him.

Su Fan escaped the Feng Family’s tracking by trading with the Witch Realm big shot, then traveled to Fragment 397 and headed into its unexplored region. As the Feng Family pursued him, Su Fan noticed a hostile group of cultivators following him and prepared to deal with them.

• Su Fan learned that Blood Spirit Old Demon was tracking him for the Feng Family, so he traded a Deity Transformation Stage corpse to the Witch Realm big shot for four hours of concealment and escaped the Heavenly Ruins Market.
• Blood Spirit Old Demon lost Su Fan’s aura, but later tracked him to Fragment 397 and led Feng Xuanwu and the Feng Family in pursuit.
• Su Fan explored the Fragment 397 Market, bought maps and information, then traveled toward the fragment’s unexplored region.
• Su Fan sensed several hostile Human Race cultivators following him and decided to grant their wish to seek death.
