Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong led the group toward Bitter Spirit Island, avoiding a demonic island and then guiding them to a Lightning Wall surrounding a golden giant crab puppet. As they crossed the storm toward the island, Luo Hong concealed his knowledge that the intact crab was an Immortal Puppet because he could not maintain it and did not want to expose Han Li’s secret.

• Luo Hong located Demonic Ape Reef and plotted a route around an island that likely housed a Demon Head; the group continued across the Demon Origin Sea.
• After a month, the Long Family Ancestor’s five Water Flood Dragons died, and Luo Hong said Bitter Spirit Island lay seven days ahead.
• Han Li spotted a colossal crab-shaped object, and Luo Hong identified it as a likely Mahayana-level puppet rather than a living beast.
• The group reached the Lightning Wall and saw Bitter Spirit Island beneath the golden crab; Luo Hong proposed weakening the storm with Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.
• The Long Family Ancestor sent out two Ancient Puppets, Ye Xin raised a protective net, and the group reinforced the vessel before Luo Hong guided it into the Lightning Wall.
• Silver Fairy urged Luo Hong to collect the intact Immortal Puppet, but he refused because it needed Immortal Spiritual Qi and he did not want to reveal Han Li’s secret.

A Demon Race Youth successfully cultivated the first step of Demon Refining Grass and sent Blood Claw to investigate intruders on Bitter Spirit Island. Luo Hong’s group reached the island, uncovered the Spirit Washing Pool, and Luo Hong began breaking its final restriction as he raced to advance before the Demon Race could intervene.

• The Demon Race Youth used Primordial Demon Marrow Fluid to awaken a spiritual herb, then sent Blood Claw toward the Sea of Lightning to investigate the intruders.
• Luo Hong’s group crossed the Lightning Wall and reached Bitter Spirit Island, where the Long Family Ancestor used a golden axe to reveal the hidden valley and its Spirit Firmament Heavenly Pillar.
• Luo Hong assured Han Li that he would arrange for him to enter the Spirit Washing Pool last, while the group discovered the valley’s Spirit Energy Crystallization and a restriction covering the pool.
• Luo Hong summoned the Silver Spear and asked Silver Fairy to help break the final restriction, drawing its multicolored runes into a silver vortex.

Luo Hong continued breaking the restriction to the Spirit Washing Pool while Blood Claw attacked him and killed the Man surnamed Lin. Ye Xin and the Long Family Ancestor restrained Blood Claw, but his warning that two Demon Race Holy Ancestors were approaching left the group facing a dangerous choice as Luo Hong's work continued.

• Luo Hong expanded the Silver Vortex over the pond, then used Universe Power to repel Blood Claw's surprise attack.
• Blood Claw killed the Man surnamed Lin, but Ye Xin teleported his surviving White Little Person away from danger.
• Han Li realized Blood Claw's evasion depended on unstable space, and Ye Xin and the Long Family Ancestor used their abilities and treasures to immobilize him.
• The Long Family Ancestor prepared to kill Blood Claw, who warned that his master had sent Mie Qing and Wuchang and that killing him would mark the group.
• The Long Family Ancestor sealed Blood Claw's senses and reconsidered the danger while Luo Hong remained focused on breaking the restriction.

Luo Hong broke the pond’s restriction and led Ye Xin, the Long Family Ancestor, Elder Hui, and the White Little Person into the Spirit Washing Pool, while Han Li stayed behind. As they vanished, the Spirit King’s Split Soul delayed Yuan Yan at his cave, and an awakened Golden-robed man set out with a bottle to pursue the intruders.

• Luo Hong summoned Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie, gave them the Purple Spoken Cauldron and Colorful Light Pagoda, and asked them to guard the pond against the approaching Demon Race Holy Ancestors.
• Luo Hong, Ye Xin, the Long Family Ancestor, Elder Hui, and the White Little Person entered the pond’s one-way formation, while Han Li remained outside.
• The Spirit King’s Split Soul used a Pseudo-Immortal Puppet to keep Yuan Yan at his cave by threatening to self-destruct, preventing Yuan Yan from leaving to guard the Spirit Washing Pool.
• The Golden-robed man awakened from his Crystal Coffin, took a small bottle from the Restriction Wooden Shelves, and vanished to pursue the cultivators.

Luo Hong and the others entered the Spirit Washing Pool to search for the Spirit Purifying Lotus, while Luo Hong pursued his own plan to extend his stay in the space. After Ye Xin secured the only blooming lotus, Luo Hong remained at the bottom of the pool to attend to other matters.

• Ye Xin, the Long Family Ancestor, Elder Hui, and Lin searched the Spirit Washing Pool using their own methods, while Luo Hong calculated the location of the space's core node.
• Luo Hong descended through the pool's heavy water and found five Spirit Purifying Lotuses; Ye Xin and the Long Family Ancestor soon joined him.
• Luo Hong urged the others to take only the blooming lotus, and Ye Xin cut it free and sealed it in a jade box.
• Ye Xin and the Long Family Ancestor prepared to return to the surface, but Luo Hong told them to go ahead while he stayed behind.

Luo Hong began advancing to the Mahayana stage in the Spirit Washing Pool, using its Immortal Spiritual Qi to break through the Magic Power bottleneck. As the Five Elements Tribulation struck, he absorbed its attacks to refine his body while Ye Xin and the others watched from beyond the Tribulation Cloud.

• Luo Hong asked Silver Fairy to stabilize the space, then built a Sky-Overturning Platform and began preparing for his advancement.
• Ye Xin and the Long Family Ancestor returned to the pool’s surface with one mature Spirit Purifying Lotus, while Luo Hong remained below.
• A Five Elements Tribulation formed, and Ye Xin realized Luo Hong had come to use the Spirit Washing Pool’s water to advance; the pool rapidly drained as Luo Hong emerged with immense spiritual pressure.
• Luo Hong endured the Golden Gang Qi with his body and absorbed it to refine himself using the Hundred Meridians Artifact Refining Art.
• Luo Hong absorbed the azure tribulation’s giant trees as well, leading Ye Xin and Elder Hui to conclude that he was using the Five Elements Tribulation to cultivate.

Luo Hong passed the Five Elements Tribulation and faced the True Lightning Tribulation, which contained the Destruction Law. He absorbed its lightning with the Startling Thunder Immortal Body Technique and gained another fraction of the Destruction Law, while more lightning spheres began to form overhead.

• Luo Hong passed the water, fire, and earth tribulations, and his aura grew stronger instead of weakening.
• Ye Xin, the Long Family Ancestor, the White Little Person, and Elder Hui watched as the True Lightning Tribulation formed and debated whether Luo Hong would use a treasure against it.
• Luo Hong withdrew his Protective Spiritual Shield and faced the first black-and-white lightning sphere with the Startling Thunder Immortal Body Technique.
• The lightning sphere swallowed Luo Hong, but then contracted and vanished as he absorbed its lightning and refined the Destruction Law.
• Luo Hong focused on circulating the Startling Thunder Immortal Body Technique as two more black-and-white lightning spheres formed within the hole.

Luo Hong endured the True Lightning Tribulation and drove away the Outer Realm Sky Demons with his formidable aura. As his Inner Demon Tribulation began, three Outer Realm Demon Lords appeared in an illusion where he had returned to his youth, and one attacked him.

• Luo Hong withstood the escalating lightning barrage and completed the True Lightning Tribulation.
• Outer Realm Sky Demons emerged from the dark clouds, but Luo Hong’s shout sent most of them fleeing.
• A gray mirror’s light drew Luo Hong into an Inner Demon Tribulation illusion, where he concealed himself behind the Sky-Overturning Platform’s barriers.
• Luo Hong found himself as a powerless teenager in the bamboo forest near his home and recognized the illusion as an attack.
• Three Outer Realm Demon Lords appeared as enormous Ghost Heads, and the Green Ghost Head lunged at Luo Hong.

During his Mahayana Inner Demon Tribulation, Luo Hong defeated three Heavenly Demons and resisted a false memory of his wedding, then entered a memory of meeting Han Li at a market. When the Sky Controlling Bottle threatened to unsettle his mind, Luo Hong recognized the Heart Demon’s deception and rejected it.

• Luo Hong used his Devouring Law to draw the three Ghost Heads’ true bodies into a black point and destroy them.
• Luo Hong’s Heart Demon appeared, then plunged him into a false memory of his wedding, where he saw through the illusion and drove the demon away with Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.
• Luo Hong awoke in a market scene and offered talisman-making advice to the youth Han while he traded with Han Yunzhi.
• Two men in yellow robes tried to abduct Han, and Luo Hong drove them off with two Spirit Talismans.
• Han offered Luo Hong the Sky Controlling Bottle as repayment, but Luo Hong recognized the threat to his mind and refused to be shaken.

Luo Hong resisted the heart demon’s fabricated lives and illusions until it transported him into a modern world where he worked as a software engineer. After meeting an old man who drew talismans and hinted that they had met before, Luo Hong was left wondering who the man really was.

• Luo Hong destroyed the heart demon’s illusion of the Sky Controlling Bottle and rejected its fabricated vision of his cultivation success with Li Huayuan and his former peers.
• Luo Hong saw through a succession of dream worlds, defeated the heart demon’s invented figures, and urged it to surrender as it weakened.
• The heart demon sent Luo Hong into a modern city, where he acted like a young office worker and reluctantly went to assist a client at his manager’s order.
• Luo Hong met an old man drawing talismans, discussed science and immortals with him, and accepted one of the talismans after finishing his work.
• The old man invited Luo Hong to inspect more talismans, then asked whether he would ignore the matter a second time; Luo Hong demanded to know who he was.

Luo Hong defeated his Heart Demon after reversing the demon’s successful ambush with the Time Law, then completed his breakthrough to Mahayana. As he entered a cocoon of light, six streams of the Sun’s Essence descended, astonishing the witnesses and prompting Ye Xin to wonder whether the Demon Realm had only six suns.

• The Heart Demon tricked Luo Hong into the dark doorway and sealed it with seven gates, but Luo Hong reappeared by loading a saved time point.
• Luo Hong destroyed the Heart Demon with a Silver Spear Light and passed the Inner Demon Tribulation.
• Luo Hong’s Nascent Soul returned to his body, triggering a Five-Colored Light Sea and a cocoon of crystalline silk around him.

• The Long Family Ancestor explained the Sun’s Essence phenomenon as six Crimson-Gold Light Rivers descended on Luo Hong’s cocoon, and Ye Xin wondered whether the Demon Realm had only six suns.

Luo Hong began advancing to Mahayana in the Spirit Washing Pool as the six suns poured their essence into him. Han Li forced Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie to help defend the advancement, while Yuan Yan vowed to kill Luo Hong if he succeeded.

• Mie Qing and Wuchang realized that Luo Hong's Mahayana advancement was drawing the Essence of the Sun through a rift in Bitter Spirit Island's thunderclouds.
• Mie Qing and Wuchang decided to use a combined technique and the island's restrictions to cut off the sun essence and stop Luo Hong.
• Han Li warned Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie that Mie Qing and Wuchang were preparing to act, then threatened to crush their Restriction Tokens if they did not intervene.
• Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie rushed toward Mie Qing and Wuchang after Han Li reminded them that Luo Hong had anticipated their refusal to help.
• Yuan Yan saw the six Crimson-Gold Light Rivers and vowed that Luo Hong would be the shortest-lived Mahayana Cultivator if he advanced.

Luo Hong completed the Six Suns Infusion and advanced to the Mahayana Stage, gaining vastly greater power and control over the Little Black Ball. The chapter ended with Yuan Yan and the Golden-robed man converging on Bitter Spirit Island as a new calamity stirred in the True Immortal Realm.

• The white-robed old man stopped the Pseudo-Immortal Puppet from self-destructing, then used Self-Destruction for Rebirth to escape Yuan Yan.

• Luo Hong celebrated his advancement to the Mahayana Stage, and the Long Family Ancestor congratulated him while the White Little Person offered to serve him.
• Luo Hong welcomed Lin to the Sunset Realm and discovered that he had gained control of the Little Black Ball.

Luo Hong emerged from the Spirit Washing Pool and confronted Yuan Yan, one of the Demon Race’s Three Great First Ancestors, who demanded Han Li’s Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure and attacked. Luo Hong wounded Yuan Yan with the Sky Breaking Spear, but Yuan Yan began breaking Bitter Spirit Island’s restriction to draw in demonic qi and regain his full strength.

• Luo Hong helped Han Li recover after Han Li arrived at the Spirit Washing Pool injured, then the group returned to the valley.
• Yuan Yan captured Cheqi Gong and attacked Luo Hong’s allies, but Luo Hong rescued Cheqi Gong and faced Yuan Yan.

• Yuan Yan summoned Mie Qing and Wuchang to delay Luo Hong while he used the Black Demon Dagger to break Bitter Spirit Island’s restriction and summon demonic qi.
• Ye Xin warned Luo Hong that Yuan Yan was trying to draw demonic qi into the island and urged him to stop the process.

Luo Hong let Yuan Yan recover his strength so he could test his own power, but Mie Qing and Wuchang attacked him with coordinated Seven Emotions Laws. Luo Hong overcame their interference, crushed Mie Qing’s demonic sword, and left Wuchang incapacitated.

• Luo Hong decided not to stop Yuan Yan from escaping Bitter Spirit Island’s suppression, intending to reclaim the Purple Spoken Cauldron and Colorful Light Pagoda first.

• Luo Hong crushed Mie Qing’s natal demonic sword and revealed that Wuchang had paid a price for attacking his Nascent Soul.

Luo Hong swiftly defeated Mie Qing and Wuchang, then waited as Yuan Yan completed his demonic formation and unleashed his full power. Yuan Yan’s golden tongue failed to restrain Luo Hong, who shattered it with his physical strength and severed it at the root.

• Luo Hong pierced Mie Qing’s defense with the Law of Strength, badly wounded him, and reclaimed the Purple Spoken Cauldron.

• Yuan Yan’s Nine-headed Demonic Toad ensnared Luo Hong with its golden tongue, but Luo Hong forced it apart and shattered it.
• Luo Hong cut the golden tongue off at its root, leaving Yuan Yan to ask what Body Refining Technique he used.

Luo Hong used the Little Black Ball to overwhelm Yuan Yan and revealed its new Primordial Divine Light, which dissolved the Law Power in Yuan Yan’s Black Demon Dagger. Yuan Yan survived the beam but was left with a badly weakened treasure, while Luo Hong claimed he could restore it.

• Yuan Yan found that the Black Demon Dagger had lost at least thirty percent of its Law Power, and Luo Hong said he could restore it.

Luo Hong confronted Yuan Yan over the origins of his Black Demon Dagger, but their standoff was interrupted when Nirvana arrived and summoned the Golden Giant Crab. The crab recognized the Immortal Spiritual Qi on Luo Hong and began its first attack as Yuan Yan prepared to join the assault.

• Luo Hong offered to restore Yuan Yan's Black Demon Dagger in exchange for its origins, but Yuan Yan initially refused.
• Nirvana appeared above the demonic formation and ordered Yuan Yan to fight Luo Hong alongside the Golden Giant Crab.
• The Golden Giant Crab emerged from the lightning, and Cheqi Gong and Feng Xie identified it as a powerful Immortal Puppet.
• Nirvana used a drop of green liquid to awaken the crab, which mistook Luo Hong for a True Immortal after sensing his Immortal Spiritual Qi.
• The Golden Giant Crab raised a claw that transformed into enormous golden scissors, while Yuan Yan turned into black mist to attack.

Luo Hong used the Little Black Ball to withstand Yuan Yan’s Nightmare Giant Demon sword strike and the Golden Giant Crab’s scissors, then countered with Primordial Divine Light. The crab withdrew and Yuan Yan suffered a severe backlash, while Nirvana and the crab recognized Luo Hong as a formidable threat and suspected he was a Tribulation-Evading True Immortal.

• Luo Hong fled into the Little Black Ball as Yuan Yan and the Golden Giant Crab prepared their attacks, while Ye Xin and the others sealed their six senses against the Nightmare Giant Demon’s terror.
• Yuan Yan formed the Nightmare Giant Demon and unleashed a powerful Profound Heaven Black Demon Slash as the Golden Giant Crab attacked the sphere with its scissors.
• Luo Hong used a Time Illusion Body and the Three Yuan Life-Returning Art to enlarge the Little Black Ball and endure both attacks, though their combined force began damaging it.
• Luo Hong released Primordial Divine Light, which forced the Golden Giant Crab to retreat and stripped the sword light of its Law Power.
• Yuan Yan spat blood and lost the ability to strike again, while the Golden Giant Crab ended its transaction with Nirvana and said Luo Hong was likely a Tribulation-Evading True Immortal.

• The Golden Giant Crab identified the Black Sphere as an immortal artifact, and Luo Hong used it to force Yuan Yan and the Nirvana Incarnation to retreat.
• Yuan Yan questioned Luo Hong about the Medicine Field and Black Demon Peak, then invited him to meet at his cave abode in three days.
• After the demons departed, the island’s natural restriction closed, and Luo Hong recovered his magic power while Ye Xin and the others remained unconscious to the outside world.
• Han Li emerged from the Spirit Washing Pool, and Luo Hong explained that the others had sealed off their six senses to resist Yuan Yan’s Nightmare Demonic Cultivation.
• Han Li said he had obtained the Spirit Purifying Lotus and gained an additional benefit when his Gold Devouring Insects grew stronger after consuming the pool water.
