Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong destroyed the Soul Locking Great Formation on Soul Locking Island, freeing the Thousand-faced Ghost Centipede and leaving the Tattooed Man and Purple-robed Woman to face its revenge. He took control of the island, offered its surviving cultivators three choices, and ended with two brothers asking to serve him.

• Luo Hong broke the Soul Locking Chains and freed the Thousand-faced Ghost Centipede, which attacked the Tattooed Man and Purple-robed Woman with swarms of Human-faced Centipedes.
• The Tattooed Man revealed that their master had died and that the island's cultivators had been forced into Soul Duels to nourish the ghost; Luo Hong left the pair to their fate.
• Luan Ni, Gu Wuhen, and Mu Yan Hong accepted Luo Hong's decision and went to bury Senior Brother Liu, while the island rose and its shroud of mist dispersed.

• Luo Hong explained that the Thousand-faced Ghost Centipede had been raised using the cultivators' primordial spirits, and the mature youth and his younger brother knelt and asked to serve him.

Luo Hong accepted Li Feng, Li Yu, and the other cultivators as future Dao soldiers, then secluded himself to consolidate his cultivation and cultivate twenty-four Primordial Immortal Apertures. After Wenren Ji warned that Tianyan Temple could send Da Luo cultivators to hunt him, Luo Hong resolved to destroy the Spatial Nodes in the lower realms before they could locate him and began seeking ways to strengthen himself.

• Luo Hong accepted the kneeling cultivators’ plea for protection and gave Li Feng a Storage Bag of resources, ordering him to lead the group to build homes and cultivate together as Dao soldiers.

• Luo Hong decided to hunt the Golden Immortals in the lower realms and destroy the Spatial Nodes they carried before Tianyan Temple could use them to track him.
• Wenren Ji explained how Heaven Severing Tokens could disrupt the Spatial Nodes’ Heavenly Dao perception, and Luo Hong turned to Liu Changlin’s jade slip and the Five-Colored Immortal Stone to seek greater strength.

Luo Hong spent more than twenty years strengthening his Five-Colored Bloodline and comprehending Five Elements Law before emerging from seclusion. He then announced that he would attack Green Feather Island and set out with Luan Ni, Gu Wuhen, and the Feather-robed Old Man.

• Luo Hong decided to cultivate a Golden Immortal-level Law Divine Ability and repair the Earth Store Dharma Wheel with True Earth Law Materials to increase his strength.

• Luo Hong used a Three-Bushel Immortal Stone Formation to strengthen his Five-Colored Bloodline and cultivate for more than twenty years.
• Luo Hong emerged from seclusion, demonstrated a Five Elements secret technique that let his Physical Body's aura imitate Immortal Yuan Power, and spoke with Luan Ni and Gu Wuhen.
• Luo Hong declared that he would attack Green Feather Island, accepted Luan Ni and Gu Wuhen's offer to accompany him, and released the Feather-robed Old Man to lead them there.

At True Person Qingyu’s thousand-year birthday banquet, Lu Jun’s Earthly Incarnation considered Green Feather Island’s growing power as Qingyu announced plans to create Divine Wind Guardians. The celebration was interrupted when three True Immortals broke through the city formation, and their black-clad leader declared he had come to take Qingyu’s island.

Luo Hong attacked Green Feather Island during True Person Qingyu’s birthday gathering, broke through its formation, and suppressed Qingyu to claim the island. Just as the gathered island masters accepted him as their new leader, two masked Late True Immortals appeared, revealing an unexpected challenge.

• Luo Hong rejected Gu Wuhen’s suggestion to postpone the attack and sent the Feather-robed Old Man back to the Netherworld Grotto-heaven after recognizing his treacherous plan.
• Luo Hong used the Great Five Elements Zhenyuan Hand to break the Myriad Blade Green Feather Array and struck down Cheng, who tried to stop him.
• Luo Hong overwhelmed True Person Qingyu with a Golden Immortal-level strike and imprisoned him beneath a Five-Colored Small Mountain instead of killing him.
• Luo Hong killed a loyal Earth Immortal who urged the island masters to resist, then demanded to know who would accept him as Green Feather Island’s master.
• The island masters bowed to Luo Hong, but two masked Late True Immortals appeared, and Lu Yuqing realized True Person Qingyu had made plans of his own.

Luo Hong defeated the Wu Chang Alliance cultivators who came to protect True Person Qingyu, secured Green Feather Island, and began organizing its forces. He revealed that powerful Golden Immortal enemies were pursuing him and planned to explain his next moves to the island masters.

• Luo Hong defeated He San and He Si despite their high-grade defensive Immortal Artifact, then declared himself Green Feather Island's island master and sent them back to report.
• The island masters accepted Luo Hong's authority, and he went to seize control of the formation core while Lu Jun Incarnation warned his children not to reveal that Luo Hong's fists contained more than one Law.
• Several days later, Gu Wuhen and Luan Ni reported that Green Feather Island's affairs were under control and that True Person Qingyu's disciples and attendants had been imprisoned.
• Luo Hong told Gu Wuhen and Luan Ni that his improved Five Elements Law had made him stronger, then asked Gu Wuhen to summon the island masters to Green Feather Hall.
• Luo Hong told Luan Ni that Golden Immortals pursuing him were no ordinary foes, and recalled that Tianyan Temple could recruit them through contracts and its ability to deduce cultivation arts and divine abilities.

Luo Hong took control of Green Feather Island and promised its island masters greater profits through the Five-Colored Bell and new rules for hunting and trading Sea Beast materials. After securing their support, he met privately with the Lu Jun Incarnation and hinted that Black Wind Island was overlooking the value of Desolate Shocking Wind.

• Luo Hong ordered the Feather-robed Old Man to identify and eliminate those who might oppose his rule, then placed a restriction on him.
• Luo Hong told the Green Feather Alliance island masters that he would help them hunt Sea Beasts more efficiently with Five-Colored Bells and organized Beast Hunting Assemblies, winning their support.

• Luo Hong ordered the island masters to send young people with mixed Spiritual Roots, preferably Five Elements Spiritual Roots, for his Dao soldier plans.
• Luo Hong told the Lu Jun Incarnation he expected to remain in the Black Wind Sea Region for up to a thousand years, then revealed that Black Wind Island was sitting atop a treasure in Desolate Shocking Wind.

Luo Hong arranged for Black Wind Island to collect Desolate Shocking Wind and negotiated a deal for sea beast materials. He then revealed his plans to Jiao Three, seeking Reincarnation Hall’s help while keeping his cooperation with the hall concealed from other forces.

• Luo Hong persuaded Lu Jun Incarnation to have a thousand Mahayana Cultivators collect Desolate Shocking Wind for a hundred years in exchange for Immortal Yuan Stones.
• Luo Hong and Lu Jun Incarnation negotiated sea beast material prices, raising them by thirty percent, and Lu Jun Incarnation departed to prepare the collection effort.
• Luo Hong explained that the Desolate Shocking Wind was Netherworld Profound Wind and that a Spatial Node led to the Netherworld, then received Jiao Three in his chamber.
• Luo Hong offered to help Reincarnation Hall search for the Nethercold Immortal Mansion’s entrance in exchange for a way through the Desolate Shocking Wind and Reincarnation Law materials.
• Luo Hong explained that he needed to preserve his identity and obtain True Earth Law Materials, then offered to drop his request for a crossing method if Jiao Three could provide the materials on his list.

Luo Hong refined artifacts, advanced his Primordial Law, and developed the Great Five Elements Reincarnation Fist before setting out to approach the Northern Cold Immortal Domain's Three Great Sects. Several months later, Mahayana cultivators were testing Death Soul Bottles at the Desolate Shocking Wind, where one woman had to stop and rest.

• Jiao Three agreed to cooperate with Luo Hong, gave him a Soul Stabilizing Pearl, and arranged to deliver Reincarnation Law Material through Jiao Eight.

Luo Hong rescued Yi Kun from Chang, who had infiltrated the workers to sabotage Green Feather Island’s artifact-refining plans for the Immortal Palace. He captured Chang as a witness, then entered the Desolate Shocking Wind and encountered a toad-like Yin beast that might be useful for the Nether Spirit God-Reversing Technique.

• Chang ambushed Yi Kun after giving him Soul-Calming Incense, but Luo Hong arrived and subdued her while restoring Yi Kun’s strength.
• Luo Hong instructed Yi Kun to report the attack to Lu Jun, then carried Chang to the edge of the Desolate Shocking Wind and forced her to confess that she had been sent to disrupt Green Feather Island’s plans.
• Luo Hong recognized Chang’s hesitation as evidence she was from the Immortal Palace and put her into the Netherworld Grotto-heaven before entering the wind.
• Luo Hong used the Soul Stabilizing Pearl to travel through the Desolate Shocking Wind’s core, where he cut down a toad-like Yin beast that attacked him.
• A voice transmitted into Luo Hong’s primordial spirit and told him to wait because the Yin beast might be useful for the Nether Spirit God-Reversing Technique.

Luo Hong crossed the Desolate Shocking Wind, discovered that the Heavy Water Sect was gathering sea demons for an attack, and infiltrated its operation while searching for a chance to deal with Song Ming. He left the Black Sea Lizard clan to divert while he waited for a Heavy Water Sect warship, whose commander then approved a plan to seize people and blame their deaths on the Sharp Light Sect.

• Luo Hong and his Ghost Dao Incarnation discussed extracting pure yin qi from yin beasts to cultivate the Nether Spirit God-Reversing Technique, and Luo Hong sent a toad yin beast to the Netherworld Grotto-heaven for testing.
• After crossing the Desolate Shocking Wind, Luo Hong found tens of millions of Black Sea Lizard sea demons traveling toward Barren Stone Island and pretended to be a Heavy Water Sect envoy to question their elders.
• Luo Hong used water-attributed spiritual power to speed up the Black Sea Lizard clan, then sent Little Gold to scout Barren Stone Island and learned that eight sea demon clans and Heavy Water Sect warships were gathered there.
• Luo Hong decided to infiltrate the Heavy Water Sect's sea demon legion, sent the Black Sea Lizard clan on a false detour, and waited for a warship to come searching for them.
• A Heavy Water Sect elder grew angry when his disciples could not find the Black Sea Lizard clan, but he approved his disciple Taiping's proposal to seize people and falsely blame their deaths on the Sharp Light Sect.

Luo Hong ambushed a Heavy Water Sect force, learned that the Western Wasteland had launched a full-scale war against the Eastern Wasteland, and impersonated Elder Ye to infiltrate the army gathering at Barren Stone Island. He left with the Heavy Water Sect forces under suspicion from their elders but avoided having the delay reported to Dao Master Song Ming.

• Luo Hong stopped the Heavy Water Sect warship, captured its brawny leader and disciples, and used an illusion to learn that their army would attack the Sharp Light Sect under Dao Master Song Ming.
• The brawny leader revealed that Linghua Valley had defected to the Western Wasteland, helping it gain an early advantage in the war against the Eastern Wasteland.
• Luo Hong questioned the leader, suppressed him beneath the Blood Sea, took his appearance, and altered the memories of the Heavy Water Sect disciples and Black Sea Lizard elders.
• Luo Hong led the warship and Black Sea Lizard clan to Barren Stone Island, where he told the Heavy Water Sect elders that an accident had delayed them and that the demon soldiers would catch up.
• The seductive female elder suspected Luo Hong's account and threatened to report his late arrival to Dao Master Song, but he promised Immortal Yuan Stones and persuaded the elders not to complain.

Xiang Qianjin gathered reinforcements to defend the Sharp Light Sect against Song Ming's Western Wasteland army, while Meng Tianxing suspected the invasion was tied to a hidden problem within the sect. Six months later, Luo Hong explained the siege strategy to Silver Fairy and planned to ambush Song Ming when he moved against the weakened sect-protecting array.

• Xiang Qianjin welcomed Elder Mi and the reinforcements, outlined Song Ming's forces, and assigned them to guard the Sharp Light Sect's Formation Feet.
• Meng Tianxing warned Elder Mi that Song Ming likely had a hidden advantage and that Pine Crane Tower must retreat if the array fell; meanwhile, a rough hand accepted a Spirit Contract in a dark space.
• Six months later, Kang Fairy and the Heavy Water Sect's forces led Sea Demons toward a Sharp Light Sect stronghold, planning to destroy it while protecting their warships.
• Luo Hong explained to Silver Fairy how the outskirts strongholds and Formation Feet supported the sect-protecting array and how Song Ming would likely weaken it before attacking.
• Luo Hong decided to wait until the array had weakened before launching a sneak attack on Song Ming, while Silver Fairy offered to help.

Luo Hong sabotaged the Great Golden Escape Formation, captured Du Wushuang, and used her capture to avoid a dangerous assignment while traveling with the Heavy Water Sect.

• Luo Hong watched the Sharp Light Sect abandon its fortress and secretly disrupted the Great Golden Escape Formation, causing Du Wushuang to be injured and stranded.
• Luo Hong captured Du Wushuang and refused Kang Min's demand to interrogate her, claiming her as his loot and then explaining privately that he wanted to avoid joining the formation-destruction team.
• Luo Hong traveled with the Heavy Water Sect elders to the Cloud Covering Great Camp, where Kang Min reported that the army would attack Thousand Gold Marsh in three days.
• Kang Min visited the Heavy Water Six Lords and complained that Ye Feng had offended her by refusing to hand over Du Wushuang.
• The Heavy Water Six Lords learned that Ye Feng had slighted Kang Min, and one of them laughed that Ye Feng was a fellow man of the path.

Luo Hong watched the Western Wasteland Army attack the Sharp Light Golden Sea, while Song Ming’s forces used the battle to test the Sharp Light Sect’s defenses. When the sect revealed no countermeasures, Song Ming ordered a blood sacrifice that strengthened the Sea Demons and exposed the army’s betrayal of its spirit contracts.

• Kang Min asked her six elder brothers to kill Ye and seize Little Gold, whose Great Roc True Blood could awaken her Nether Snake Bloodline.
• Three days later, Luo Hong joined the Western Wasteland Army’s advance with Du Wushuang beside him, and the army reached Thousand Gold Marsh after more than a month.
• The Sea Demons charged into the Sharp Light Golden Sea, suffering heavy losses as their attacks gradually destroyed the Golden Spirit Transformation Pools and weakened the formation.
• Song Ming concluded that the Sharp Light Sect had ignored his intelligence and ordered Zhou to begin a blood sacrifice to strengthen the Sea Demons.
• The blood sacrifice greatly increased the Sea Demons’ power, and the Mahayana Sea Demons protested that it violated their spirit contract.
• The spirit contracts turned into black droplets, revealing that Song Ming’s agreement had been fraudulent, while the Human Race cultivators mocked the Sea Demons.

Luo Hong joined Song Ming’s Western Wasteland army as it attacked the Sharp Light Sect’s protective formation. The Sharp Light Sect countered with lethal defenses and a long-range strike, and Luo Hong’s group moved to confront the Floating Cloud Gold Islands as the battle’s outcome remained uncertain.

• The Western Wasteland army used the Sea Demons to clear its approach, then besieged the Sharp Light Sect’s Heavenly Gang Golden Origin Great Formation with waves of black lightning.
• Thirty-six Nail-shaped Warships pierced the formation and delivered Western Wasteland True Immortals, but the Sharp Light Sect’s Sword-shaped Golden Thunder destroyed the ships and killed most of their crews.
• Song Ming rescued the surviving True Immortals and ordered the bombardment to continue, while the intruders fought the Sharp Light Sect’s other restrictions inside the formation.
• The Sharp Light Sect launched a surprise attack with twelve Golden Light Pillars, destroying more than twenty Mysterious Snake Warships and damaging a Black Flood Dragon Warship.
• Kang Min took Luo Hong, Song Shan, and the others to the army’s left wing and explained that they were to attack the Sharp Light Sect’s Floating Cloud Gold Islands.
• Song Shan recognized that the islands could destroy the Western Wasteland fleet from afar and force Song Ming to leave the army, potentially abandoning the True Immortals inside the formation.

Luo Hong and the Western Wasteland True Immortals were sent to attack the Sharp Light Sect’s Floating Cloud Gold Islands, where he fought off a fleet of metal warships. After revealing the power of his Five-Colored Flowing Light, he crippled the ships and left Du Wushuang fascinated by his abilities.

• Kang Min brought Luo Hong and the others to Duan Tianming, who ordered them to attack the Sharp Light Sect’s Floating Cloud Gold Islands.
• The group teleported to the battlefield and saw the Sharp Light Sect drawing metal-aspect Immortal Spiritual Qi from mineral veins to power its formation.
• Duan Tianming sent the True Immortals to split up and charge the six islands while he and the other Heavy Water Six Lords concealed their strength.
• Luo Hong stopped to confront a Purple Copper Warship and nine Cloud Iron Warships, blocking their opening strike with the Profound Heavy Chain as he questioned Du Wushuang about the Sharp Light Sect’s sword arts.
• Luo Hong used Five-Colored Flowing Light to withstand the fleet’s attack, then sent chains through the warships’ formation cores and brought them crashing down.
• Luo Hong looted Immortal Yuan Stones from the wrecked warships while Du Wushuang stared at him, increasingly curious about his Five-Colored Flowing Light.

Luo Hong negotiated with Du Wushuang to help the Sharp Light Sect in exchange for cultivation insights, then used Kang Min’s attempt to exploit him to help Du Wushuang capture her. The three warship formations departed with Du Wushuang and Kang Min, leaving Song Shan worried that Luo Hong had caused a serious incident.

• Luo Hong released Du Wushuang and asked her to convey his demands for the Myriad Transformation Sword Art and Sharp Light Divine Escape Technique to Sect Master Xiang.
• Luo Hong and Du Wushuang watched the Heavy Water Six Lords attack a Floating Cloud Gold Island, while Kang Min called Luo Hong to help hold back three formations of warships.
• Luo Hong pretended to assist Kang Min, who seized Du Wushuang and tried to leave Luo Hong responsible for all three formations.
• Luo Hong warned Kang Min that the restriction on Du Wushuang depended on distance, and Du Wushuang severed Kang Min’s arm and took her hostage.
• Du Wushuang took Kang Min toward a Purple Copper Warship, while Silver Fairy and Luo Hong discussed why he wanted the Sharp Light Divine Escape Technique.
• Song Shan flew to Luo Hong and lamented that Luo Hong had caused a huge disaster.

Sharp Light Sect’s retreat triggered a devastating counterattack against the Western Wasteland Army, while Song Ming attacked the sect’s great formation. After Du Wushuang returned to Sharp Light Sect and warned that Song Ming had a backup plan, Elder Xue told her that Sect Master Xiang intended to use the Ancestor’s Golden Body, leaving her worried that it would not be enough to kill Song Ming.

• Luo Hong learned that Kang Min was Duan Tianming and six others’ forbidden plaything, while Song Shan decided to keep close watch on him.
• Elder Xue ordered Sharp Light Sect’s forces to retreat, and the sect used five beams of Shuo Jin Divine Light to strike the Western Wasteland Army, destroying many warships.
• Song Ming rallied the Western Wasteland Cultivators and used a giant black ring to attack the Heavenly Gang Golden Origin Great Formation.
• Duan Tianming learned that Elder Xue’s forces had escaped and questioned Luo Hong about his missing Cauldron and Fairy Kang; Luo Hong blamed Kang Min for the Cauldron’s escape.
• Du Wushuang returned to Sharp Light Sect, convinced Elder Xue that she had not betrayed the sect, and urged him to contact Ye Feng about Song Ming’s backup plan.
• Elder Xue told Du Wushuang that Sect Master Xiang planned to use the Ancestor’s Golden Body, and she doubted it would be enough to kill Song Ming.

Du Wushuang brought the Sharp Light Sect information from Luo Hong and arranged a public talisman exchange with Xiang Qianjin, but a misunderstanding led Xiang to reject Luo’s offer and imprison her. Meanwhile, Luo Hong subdued and killed Duan Tianming and five others, discovering they had targeted Little Gold’s bloodline, and worried about Kang Min’s fate.

• Du Wushuang told Xiang Qianjin that Ye Feng had released her and offered information about Song Ming in exchange for the Myriad Transformation Sword Art and cultivation insights.
• Xiang Qianjin accepted Luo Hong’s demands, swore a Heart Demon Oath, and activated the talisman publicly to guard against a traitor among the Sharp Light Sect Elders.
• Luo Hong offered to kill Song Ming, but Xiang Qianjin dismissed him after learning his true cultivation was at the peak of the Mid-stage True Immortal realm and burned the talisman.
• Xiang Qianjin ordered Du Wushuang imprisoned, while Luo Hong realized their exchange had failed and revealed that he was holding Duan Tianming and five others captive.
• Duan Tianming begged Luo Hong for mercy, but Luo Hong killed all six men, searched Duan Tianming’s soul, and learned they had targeted Little Gold’s bloodline.
• Luo Hong refined the six Nascent Souls into the Little Black Ball and wondered whether Du Wushuang had killed Kang Min.
