Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong and his allies broke into the Black Fiend Cult’s Blood Pool to rescue Qian Mulan’s nephews, but the reversed restriction awakened a terrifying presence. As they prepared to teleport away, a ferocious aura surged toward them.

• Luo Hong discovered Fa Yuan and Fa Qi imprisoned, then returned with Qian Mulan and Yu Ruoxi to rescue them.
• Luo Hong concealed their approach with an array and sent Qian Mulan and Yu Ruoxi to distract the two Blood Attendants guarding the Blood Pool.
• Yu Ruoxi and Qian Mulan fought Ye She and Qing Wen while Luo Hong broke through the Blood Pool’s gate.
• Luo Hong found Fa Yuan, Fa Qi, and Yan Shouyi in the Blood Pool after its restriction reversed, pulled the two Qian Family boys free, and blasted Yan Shouyi’s head apart.
• Luo Hong reunited with Qian Mulan and used a Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman to prepare their escape as a ferocious aura rushed toward them.

Luo Hong stayed behind when the Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman sent Yu Ruoxi and the others to safety, then battled the descended True Demon as it absorbed power from the Blood Pool. He learned to imitate and surpass its techniques, while the Black Fiend Cult Leader hid nearby and planned to kill whichever fighter survived.

• The monster's sound wave disrupted the teleportation sphere, so Luo Hong sent Yu Ruoxi away with the others and remained behind to face its attack.
• Yu Ruoxi flew toward the Imperial Palace, while the Black Fiend Cult Leader learned that intruders had entered the Forbidden Land and the True Demon might have descended.
• Luo Hong fought the monster, used Number Five Tea Wine to observe its techniques, and began matching its attacks through imitation.
• Luo Hong used the monster's own Collapse Force against it, then pursued it as it absorbed blood and formed demonic armor.
• The monster and Luo Hong clashed across the Imperial Palace, while the Black Fiend Cult Leader and his followers hid in the ruins and planned to kill the victor.

Luo Hong defeated the True Demon Descent but captured its surviving head in his Myriad Treasures Pouch and spent several days recovering. He confessed his feelings to Yu Ruoxi, asked her to wait while he left Southern Sky for up to one hundred and eighty years, and began warning her about the war’s uncertain outcome.

• Luo Hong shattered the True Demon Descent’s upper body with a final Collapse Force strike, then trapped its regenerating head inside his Myriad Treasures Pouch.
• Yu Ruoxi carried the injured Luo Hong away from the Imperial Palace, and the Black Fiend Cult Leader chose not to pursue them.
• Yu Ruoxi and Qian Mulan treated Luo Hong at an abandoned military stockade, where he slept for five days before waking and asking about his demonic captive.
• After recovering, Luo Hong kissed Yu Ruoxi at Moon Viewing Pavilion and confessed his feelings, then told her he had to leave Southern Sky and might be gone for three Sexagenary Cycles.
• Yu Ruoxi agreed to wait for Luo Hong, and he warned her that he doubted the Seven Sects could safely win their war against the Six Demonic Sects.

Luo Hong warned Yu Ruoxi that the Seven Sects faced betrayal and defeat, then obtained materials for his Six Harmonies Divine Needles. At his hidden cave, he used Lian Feihua to test whether an Outer Realm Sky Demon could be lured into the Mortal World, and the demon began attacking through her.

• Luo Hong told Yu Ruoxi that hidden agents and the larger political situation made the Seven Sects’ defeat likely, urging her to protect herself without abandoning Moon Concealing Sect.
• Yu Ruoxi gave Luo Hong three sets of materials for refining the Six Harmonies Divine Needles, and he left with her storage bag.
• Ten days later, Luo Hong returned to his concealed cave dwelling and prepared Lian Feihua for an experiment, dismissing her pleas and making her swear not to seek revenge.
• Luo Hong used the needles to force Lian Feihua’s cultivation to surge, then watched the secret marks on her face brighten as her primordial spirit strengthened.
• Luo Hong cast the Extreme Emotion Curse, provoking an Outer Realm Sky Demon to attack Lian Feihua, and trapped the resulting assault inside a Golden Talisman Demon Sealing Formation.
• Lian Feihua briefly broke free of the curse and fired an invisible Thought Cone at Luo Hong, but the formation deflected it as Luo Hong waited for the demon to send more power into the Mortal World.

Luo Hong captured and devoured an Outer Realm Sky Demon, then joined Han Li at the border battlefield, where the two had become known as the Black and White Fiends. After Han Li promised to obtain a rare White Gold Flower, Luo Hong demanded that Yan Shouyi teach him the first level of the Great Strength True Demon Force.

• Luo Hong reversed the Great Evolution Secret Mark to devour the Outer Realm Sky Demon, then collected five pellets and burned Lian Feihua's body.
• Luo Hong traveled to the border battlefield and killed Heavenly Fiend Sect demon cultivators before reaching the Seven Sects' camp.
• Luo Hong sold the spoils from his latest kills and met Han Li while they searched for rare spiritual herbs.
• Han Li promised to acquire a five-hundred-year White Gold Flower for six hundred Spirit Stones, and Luo Hong paid him in advance.
• Luo Hong summoned Yan Shouyi's demon head and demanded the first-level cultivation method for the Great Strength True Demon Force.

Luo Hong obtained the first layer of the Great Strength True Demon Force, focused on body and Primordial Spirit cultivation, and escaped the Yellow Maple Valley encampment as the Demonic Path attacked. He reached the Chaotic Star Sea through the Ancient Teleportation Array, and Han Li followed shortly afterward.

• Luo Hong forced the Demon Head to give him the first-layer cultivation art, then began cultivating the Iron Tripod Golden Body Technique and Great Evolution Art.
• After learning that Old Demon Han had been sent away, Luo Hong prepared to flee ahead of Spirit Beast Mountain's betrayal and the Demonic Path's attack.
• When Demon Cultivators attacked the Yellow Maple Valley encampment, Luo Hong teleported away and traveled to the Ancient Teleportation Array.
• Luo Hong secretly repaired the array after Old Demon Han left, activated it, and emerged in the Chaotic Star Sea.
• Han Li arrived through the array, found Senior Brother Luo waiting, and followed his instructions to disable the formation.

After arriving in the Chaotic Star Sea, Luo Hong and Han Li reached Kuixing Island aboard a merchant ship, where Han Li agreed to represent the Gu Family in a challenge while Luo Hong sought a route to the Outer Star Sea. Luo Hong then offered to help Yi Xiuxiu and Aunt Lan with their Monster Hunting Team shortage, hoping to obtain useful sea charts.

• Luo Hong explained that he had fled Yellow Maple Valley after the Seven Sects were defeated, while Han Li revealed that his cultivation had fallen to the Qi Refining Stage.
• Han Li found a merchant ship bound for Kuixing Island, and Luo Hong agreed to hear Master Gu's request for help.
• Han Li accepted Master Gu's offer to represent the Gu Family in a challenge, while Luo Hong declined to stay with them after they reached Kuixing Island.
• Luo Hong learned that Kuixing Island restricted the sale of sea charts and required Contribution Points, materials, or missions to obtain charts beyond the island's waters.
• Luo Hong overheard Yi Xiuxiu and Aunt Lan discussing their shortage of hunters and offered to help them resolve it.

Luo Hong agreed to help Yi Xiuxiu’s Lan Yun Pavilion hunt Sharp-beaked Fish in exchange for sea charts, while keeping his true cultivation concealed. Seven days later, he joined the Yi Family’s team on Guanlin Island as rival forces gathered for the fish migration.

• Yi Xiuxiu explained that Lan Yun Pavilion needed Sharp-beaked Fish oil for Skyfire Fluid, and Luo Hong offered to use a formation to trap the fish in exchange for her father’s sea charts.
• Luo Hong rejected the Demon Head’s offer of demonic cultivation and refused to help it kill someone, then restrained it in his Myriad Treasures Pouch.
• Luo Hong saw Aunt Lan secretly leave Lan Yun Pavilion after settling into his guest room.
• Seven days later, Luo Hong and the Yi Family’s group waited on Guanlin Island for the Sharp-beaked Fish migration as onlookers discussed the Ye Family’s advantage and the Yi Family’s precarious position.

Luo Hong used a Spirit Exchange Array to help Yi Xiuxiu’s team harvest Sharp-beaked Fish despite the Ye Family’s interference, while his observations confirmed his theory about Spirit Particles. The hunt ended at the yearly catch limit, and the chapter left the team spotting the Fish King.

• Luo Hong noticed the Ye Family’s hostile attention before the Sharp-beaked Fish swarm arrived, then joined Yi Xiuxiu’s team aboard her Spirit Boat.
• The Ye Family disrupted the Spiritual Qi with an early formation, but Luo Hong restored the area with Spirit Soothing Talismans and set up his Spirit Exchange Array.
• Luo Hong’s formation drove Sharp-beaked Fish out of the water, allowing Yi Xiuxiu’s hunters to catch four hundred fish while he considered how Spirit Particles could display all five attributes.
• Yi Xiuxiu stopped the hunt at the yearly limit and paid Yuan Xingping and the other hunters, while Luo Hong advised her to be more patient with her family.
• Yi Liang spotted the Fish King as Luo Hong withdrew his formation.

Luo Hong discovered that the Fish King was being secretly tested by an underwater formation, then agreed to help Yuan Xingping and Jing'er clear a remote island's beasts so he could investigate its spiritual vein. Meanwhile, Ye Zhao punished his son and revealed that the Ye Family had targeted Yi Xiuxiu to capture her for the Young Sect Master.

• Luo Hong used his divine sense to discover hidden spiritual-energy nets lifting the Fish King, then chose not to interfere with the unknown force behind them.
• Yi Xiuxiu gave Luo Hong sea charts and reference books, and he accepted her jade token and offered her advice and a teleportation talisman.
• Yuan Xingping and Jing'er asked Luo Hong to help defeat the beasts guarding a Medicine Valley on a remote Lonely Island, and he agreed to leave with them immediately.
• Ye Zhao slapped his son for trying to seize Yi Xiuxiu by force and ordered him to the Repentance Room.
• Ye Zhao told the Young Sect Master that he had targeted Yi Xiuxiu because her Luan Jade Physique made her a valuable cultivation Cauldron.

Luo Hong and the Yuan couple reached Medicine Valley, defeated the Crimson Fire Ants, and gathered its Spiritual Herbs. After the couple left, Luo Hong spent months building the Five Fiends Spirit Gathering Array, which successfully created a powerful Spiritual Qi Giant Ring on the island.

• The young cultivator ordered Elder Gu to kill Luo Hong and conduct a Soul Search, while the Ye Family watched Lan Yun Pavilion for his departure from Qingyun Mountain.
• Luo Hong arrived at the mist-covered island with Yuan Xingping and Jing'er, inspected its Spirit Vein, and helped them defeat the Crimson Fire Ants in an Illusion Array.
• Luo Hong gave the Yuan couple the Spiritual Herbs and asked them to keep the island and his whereabouts secret; after they left, he cleared the Gale Bird nests.
• Luo Hong designed the island's formation, used puppets to speed its construction, and completed the Five Fiends Spirit Gathering Array.
• Luo Hong activated the array, confined the leaking Spiritual Qi in a five-colored giant ring, and confirmed that the wooden house's external Spiritual Pressure exceeded one thousand.

Luo Hong explained how the Five Fiends Spirit Gathering Array drew, bound, and gathered Spiritual Qi, and identified the Spirit Exchange Array’s limits as the cause of its weaker-than-expected effect. He summoned Little Gold into the array before heading to cultivate, while the author’s leave notice followed.

• Luo Hong described how Earth Fiend Qi extracted Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein and warned that further uses could ruin it.
• Luo Hong explained how Five Elements circulation bound Spirit Particles, but the Spirit Exchange Array’s conversion limit weakened the Five-Colored Ring.
• Luo Hong outlined how the Spiritual Qi’s shifting mass gathered more Spirit Particles within the area of the Small Wooden House.
• Luo Hong summoned Little Gold from the Spirit Beast Bag and tossed it into the golden portion of the Five-Colored Ring.
• Little Gold chirped excitedly as Luo Hong went to the master bedroom to cultivate.

After twelve years of seclusion, Luo Hong reached Foundation Establishment Peak and strengthened his body by hunting Crimson Fire Ant Generals. When Jing'er arrived pursued by members of a powerful sect, Luo Hong killed them and learned that Yuan Xingping had been captured, so he dismantled his island defenses and set out with Jing'er for Kuixing Island.

• Luo Hong spent twelve years cultivating, reached the eighth level of the Iron Tripod Golden Body Technique, and hunted Crimson Fire Ant Generals for Sha Qi.
• Luo Hong discovered intruders in his formation and found Senior Brother Ma and two Junior Brothers pursuing Jing'er.
• Luo Hong killed all three pursuers after they attacked him, then learned their sect had placed restrictions on their Primordial Spirits.
• Jing'er told Luo Hong that Yuan Xingping had been taken after trying to speak with someone asking about Luo Hong at Lan Yun Pavilion.
• Luo Hong promised to rescue Yuan Xingping, dismantled his island formation, packed Little Gold and the Ant Queen, and left with Jing'er for Kuixing Island.

Luo Hong lured the Skeleton Head to Lonely Island and trapped him in the Earth Fiend Great Formation, but the Skeleton Head unleashed a Ghost Fire Skull at him. Luo Hong sent a Demon Head to meet it, and the Demon Head suddenly awoke and recognized a familiar aura.

• Luo Hong used three Primordial Energy Water Thunders to damage the Skeleton Head’s Eagle Claw Magic Treasures, then escaped on Little Gold using Golden Light Escape.
• The Skeleton Head pursued Luo Hong for most of the day, while Luo Hong repeatedly restored Little Gold with a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
• At Lonely Island, Luo Hong set up the Earth Fiend Great Formation, and the Skeleton Head attacked the island with his ghost-fire-enhanced magic treasure.
• The Skeleton Head’s black light blades defiled Luo Hong’s Spirit Swallowing Shield, so Luo Hong activated the formation and trapped him in Earth Fiend Qi.
• The Skeleton Head used a secret technique to form a Ghost Fire Skull and sent it at Luo Hong, who threw a Demon Head in its path; the Demon Head awoke and recognized a familiar aura.

Luo Hong killed Skeleton Head, learned that the Qingyang Sect had targeted him, and obtained the Blood Refining Crystal Art from the Demon Head in exchange for Skeleton Head’s Primordial Spirit. He then found Jing'er and Yuan Yao and offered to help rescue Yuan and eliminate the Qingyang Sect’s underground forces on Kuixing Island.

• Luo Hong defeated Skeleton Head, took his Golden Core, and let the Demon Head devour his Primordial Spirit after receiving the Blood Refining Crystal Art.
• The Demon Head revealed that the Qingyang Sect’s pursuit of Luo Hong stemmed from the Spirit Soothing Talismans he had distributed.
• Jing'er prepared to flee the Golden Bowl Sect with Yuan Yao, fearing a Core Formation cultivator would target them, but Luo Hong arrived and stopped their departure.
• Luo Hong told Jing'er that Yuan was alive but might have lost consciousness after being soul searched, and Yuan Yao learned that her father was not waiting outside the island.
• Jing'er vowed to save Yuan, and Luo Hong asked her to help eradicate the Qingyang Sect’s underground forces on Kuixing Island.

Luo Hong used the Ghost Fire Token and a fabricated order to gather Qingyang Sect cultivators concealed around Kuixing Island, intending to wipe them out together. When Yu Menglong demanded proof and tried to search Jing'er’s soul, Luo Hong stopped him, and the White-bearded Old Man asked Luo Hong to produce a Projection Pearl.

• Yi Xiuxiu wondered whether Luo Hong had returned after the inquiries about him suddenly stopped, and briefly thought a black-robed figure passing Lan Yun Pavilion resembled him.
• Luo Hong and Jing'er entered the Ye Family Compound using the Ghost Fire Token and ordered the concealed Qingyang Sect disciples on Kuixing Island to assemble within one day.
• Luo Hong threatened punishment in the Demon Cave for anyone who missed the deadline and had Jing'er brought before the gathered disciples.
• Yu Menglong challenged Luo Hong, who claimed his master had discovered a force linked to the Star Palace and ordered its destruction.
• When Yu Menglong tried to search Jinger's soul, Luo Hong stopped him with the Yin Soul Chain and demanded to know whether Yu Menglong was telling his master how to act.
• The White-bearded Old Man called for Luo Hong to produce a Projection Pearl as proof of Elder Gu's order.

Luo Hong annihilated the Qingyang Sect cultivators who had gathered to hunt him, then arranged to escape Kuixing Island with the surviving captives and the Yuan family. He left the Yuan Couple on Golden Bowl Island and refused Jing'er's plea to take Yuan Yao as a disciple or concubine, giving her cultivation treasures before departing.

• Luo Hong trapped the Qingyang Sect cultivators in the Ye Family chamber with Earth Fiend Qi and killed most of them, leaving six Foundation Establishment cultivators alive.
• Luo Hong asked Yi Xiuxiu to arrange a cargo ship, and she helped him transport the six captives away from Kuixing Island.
• Luo Hong and the Yuan Couple boarded the ship, then he escorted Jing'er and the injured Yuan Xingping to Golden Bowl Island and advised them to keep a low profile.
• Jing'er asked Luo Hong to take Yuan Yao as his disciple, then offered her as his concubine when he refused.
• Luo Hong rejected the proposal and gave Yuan Yao a Foundation Establishment Pill, a Soul Tablet for the Yellow-winged Bird, and a top-grade Magic Artifact before leaving.

After disrupting Qingyang Sect’s plans on Kuixing Island, Luo Hong assessed his gains and discovered that Little Gold’s potential had been badly damaged. He then forced Ye Qing to accept the Divine Restraint Technique, leaving the young master under his control.

• True Person Mu Long found Luo Hong’s threatening Star Palace mark at the Ye Family’s burned Dark Chamber and chose not to interfere.
• Gu Changdong discovered that Luo Hong had destroyed the Sea Binding Heavenly Spirit Array and disrupted the undersea Spirit Vein, while the Green-Robed Elder flew toward the Ye Family.
• Luo Hong sorted his spoils, identified the Sea Suppressing Crystal as a valuable material for his planned Five Elements Banner, and decided to refine Skeleton Head’s Life-Taking Claws.
• Luo Hong examined Little Gold and realized that the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus’s medicinal power had damaged her Silver Runes and likely reduced her potential to that of a second-grade spirit beast.
• Luo Hong revived Ye Qing, demanded that he master a harmful demonic secret art, and began placing the Divine Restraint Technique on him after Ye Qing pleaded to live.

Luo Hong reached Tianxing City after leaving Yi Liang and discovered that Lan Yun Pavilion was a pleasure house rather than the quiet Yi Family lodging he expected. He declined the Pink Skirt Beauty’s offer to help with Core Formation and her request for assistance, leaving the nature of her matter unresolved.

• Luo Hong gave Ye Qing the Great Blood Marrow Art and a weakened Golden Core after Ye Qing rapidly formed an initial Blood Marrow Crystal at great cost to his health.
• Luo Hong bid farewell to Yi Liang, then spent half a year flying to Tianxing City with six Black Robed Figures.
• Luo Hong entered Tianxing City, bought a permanent-residence red ring, and sent Ye Qing to the harbor with the Spirit Boat and their companions.
• Luo Hong followed a Wind Chime to Lan Yun Pavilion and learned from its residents that it was a pleasure house, not a quiet Yi Family lodging.
• The Pink Skirt Beauty offered Luo Hong a room and two female cultivators, then asked him to assist her; Luo Hong refused and prepared to leave.

Luo Hong met True Lord Skyfire, a rogue Core Formation cultivator who offered to teach him artifact refinement in exchange for help making a magic treasure. Luo Hong asked for three days to consider and stayed in Lan Yun Pavilion, while True Lord Skyfire recognized his Jade Token as belonging to the late Old Patriarch Yi.

• Luo Hong rejected Pavilion Master Hua's offer, then encountered True Lord Skyfire, who invited him to discuss a request.
• True Lord Skyfire explained that he wanted Luo Hong's help refining a magic treasure and would teach him artifact refinement while preparing the materials over three years.
• Luo Hong said he was not skilled at artifact refinement, and True Lord Skyfire argued that he would need those skills to make a Life-bound Magic Treasure after Core Formation.
• Luo Hong asked for three days to consider, and True Lord Skyfire assured him that the work would take place at his cave abode on the Holy Mountain Thirty-third Layer.
• True Lord Skyfire recognized Luo Hong's Jade Token as Old Patriarch Yi's, learned that Yi had died, and left to claim his Jade Bee Wine.
