Chapter Summaries

Xing Wanhai enlisted Caiyu Temple to delay Luo Hong while he activated an altar to return to the Immortal World. Luo Hong trapped the altar inside his Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact, leaving Xing Wanhai unable to escape and facing questions about why he was fleeing.

• Luo Hong asked Xing Wanhai why he was fleeing when he claimed he had never offended him.

Their cooperation began with Luo Hong providing the mission’s Spatial Node, while Xing Wanhai agreed to transfer half the rewards.

• Luo Hong asked what Tianyan Temple wanted the Spatial Node for, and Xing Wanhai explained that the temple was investigating a legend about a fated Demon Head who would merge the Myriad Worlds.

Luo Hong and Xing Wanhai returned from the Nine Yang Realm after exploiting the Caiyu Temple cultivators and set out to take on overdue lower-realm investigation missions.

• Luo Hong claimed he had only helped Xing Wanhai with a small matter and had been promised twenty Immortal Yuan Stones, while privately wondering why the Heavenly Court seemed poised to interfere in Tianyan Temple’s affairs.

Luo Hong traveled to the Linghuan Realm to search for Old Demon Han but could not find him, then encountered a family of fox demons seeking refuge in a ruined temple. As pursuers from the Blood Blade Society caught up, the fox family prepared to treat their wounded son while the father went out to hold the attackers back.

• Sun Guangxun hinted that Xing Wanhai had underpaid Luo Hong and left after Luo Hong warned Xing Wanhai not to deny it.
• Luo Hong told Xing Wanhai that Sun Guangxun wanted him to make an extra copy of a mission jade slip, then chose the Linghuan Realm as their destination.
• After arriving in the Linghuan Realm, Luo Hong split up from Xing Wanhai and spent three months searching for Old Demon Han without success.
• Liu Huan'er tried to seduce Luo Hong in a ruined temple, but he ignored her and forcefully rebuffed her when she fell onto him.
• Liu Huan'er returned with her injured fox brother and family, and her father ordered her to put Luo Hong to sleep before treating him.
• The Blood Blade Society broke into the temple, and Liu Huan'er's father went out to hold them off while she prepared to treat her brother.

Luo Hong rescued Liu Huan'er’s family from Ma Qingyun and his companions, then recognized the little fox Liu Le'er as the one who could lead him to Old Demon Han. He asked Liu Huan'er to repay him by sleeping, leaving her startled and wary.

• Liu Huan'er put the injured male fox into a hidden Spirit Spring while her parents fought attackers outside the Buddha hall.

• Luo Hong shrugged off their attacks, tore apart the Black Cloud Net, and knocked the three men unconscious with a spiritual sense attack.
• Luo Hong healed the elder foxes and gave them a Buddhist cultivation technique before leaving the temple.
• Luo Hong realized Liu Huan'er was Liu Le'er’s sister and that Liu Le'er could help him find Old Demon Han.
• Luo Hong returned and asked Liu Huan'er to sleep as repayment for his help, leaving her trembling in alarm.

Luo Hong used Liu Le'er’s dream to temper her spirit, then established a hidden cultivation sanctuary for her family. He found Han Li trapped in a stone shell and awakened him, though Han Li remained unable to use his Magic Power.

• Luo Hong placed the Yuan Spirits of Ma Qingyun and the other two inside Liu Le’er’s dream, where she endured an imagined loss of her family and faced her enemies with his help.
• Liu Le’er awoke with the dream’s lessons buried in her subconscious, and Luo Hong expanded the Spirit Spring and protected the mountain with a Restriction.
• Liu Le’er asked whether she would see Luo Hong again, while her family realized Liu Xun was trapped beneath the enlarged Spirit Spring and moved to rescue him.
• Luo Hong found Han Li concealed inside a giant boulder and awakened him with a shout.
• Han Li recovered his memories, recognized Luo Hong, and explained that his Nascent Soul was imprisoned and he could not mobilize his Magic Power.

Luo Hong reunited with Han Li in the Linghuan Realm, gave him back his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, and explained that the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree could help him refine an artifact needed to escape his pursuers. He then began investigating Han Li’s damaged cultivation and forced a black barrier away from Han Li’s Nascent Soul, telling him to enter and inspect it.

• Han Li discovered that the Small Green Bottle was all he had left, and Luo Hong explained that dangerous events had kept him from meeting Han Li after his ascension.

• Luo Hong returned Han Li’s Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords and gave him a Storage Bag taken from a Golden Immortal cultivator.
• Luo Hong showed Han Li the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree and asked for his help obtaining Law Spirit Materials to refine the artifact; Han Li agreed.
• Luo Hong examined Han Li’s Nascent Soul and suppressed the black arc-shaped barrier protecting it, then told Han Li to enter and inspect the inside.

Han Li began restoring his sealed cultivation with spirit pills, and Luo Hong took him to the Cold Flame Sect to find a body-refinement technique that could help him counter the Black Chains. There, Luo Hong encountered Xing Wanhai and learned that You Wangxing’s long stay in the lower realm might be part of a Tianyan Temple mission to erase traces left by World-Destroying Demonic Entities.

• Han Li discovered eight Black Chains sealing his Nascent Soul and learned from Luo Hong that they resembled the Fuling Sect’s Separating Yuan Magic Chain.

• Xing Wanhai told Luo Hong that You Wangxing might have accepted a Tianyan Temple mission to clear traces left in lower realms by World-Destroying Demonic Entities.

Luo Hong sent Xing Wanhai to investigate a Spatial Node in the eastern sea while explaining why Fan Mengyi could not return to him yet. He then helped Han Li with his cultivation and discovered that an unseen force disrupted his attempt to absorb the Power of Stars.

• Luo Hong told Xing Wanhai that the Spatial Node was in the eastern sea and gave him a jade slip with its approximate location, then asked him to investigate alone.
• Luo Hong visited Han Li and revealed that Fan Mengyi was safe with a Golden Immortal who intended to make her his inheritor, but that she could not return while Tianyan Temple threatened Luo Hong and his followers.
• Han Li told Luo Hong that Old Ancestor Cold Flame’s remnant soul had appeared in the Lesser Big Dipper Star Yuan Skill, and Luo Hong advised him to cultivate peacefully and build a relationship with the ancestor.
• Luo Hong gave Han Li manuals about Profound Apertures and took the Lesser Big Dipper Star Yuan Skill to study for himself.
• Luo Hong mastered the technique and attempted to draw the Power of Stars into his body, but the starlight suddenly burst apart, confirming his suspicion that an unseen force was targeting him.

Luo Hong abandoned his plan to cultivate with the Power of Stars and prepared to forge a different body-tempering art, while Xing Wanhai searched the Linghuan Realm for a Spatial Node. You Wangxing caught Xing Wanhai and tricked him into revealing that Luo Hong was alone in the Cold Flame Sect, enabling Jiang Ge to move against Luo Hong.

• Luo Hong realized that the Primordial Great Demon could not absorb the Power of Stars and decided to create a new cultivation art.
• Xing Wanhai traveled to a remote sea and canceled his plan to join Hua Mou in targeting Luo Hong for his Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact.

• Xing Wanhai warned You Wangxing about Luo Hong's Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact, but You Wangxing tricked him into confirming Luo Hong's location and that he was alone.
• You Wangxing contacted Jiang Ge and ordered him to act against Luo Hong in the Cold Flame Sect.

Jiang Ge surrounded the Cold Flame Sect with the Seventy-two Xuandu Great Formation to seize Luo Hong’s Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact, the Earth Store Dharma Wheel. Luo Hong destroyed Jiang Ge’s apparent body with the artifact, but an unfamiliar dark-skinned youth appeared nearby, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• You Wangxing fought Xing Wanhai and stopped him from sending a warning to Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong sensed seventy-two True Immortal auras around the Cold Flame Sect, and the Xuandu Corpses spread Corpse Fiend Qi that turned low-ranking disciples into corpses.
• Jiang Ge revealed that he wanted Luo Hong’s Earth Store Dharma Wheel, while Luo Hong realized the figure before him was a false body and searched for the real one.
• Luo Hong pretended to surrender the Earth Store Dharma Wheel, then activated it and destroyed the false Jiang Ge.
• An unfamiliar dark-skinned youth appeared beside Sima Jingming on the courtyard roof, and Sima Jingming sensed danger from him.

Luo Hong outmaneuvered Jiang Ge, revealed overwhelming strength with his Great Five Elements Reincarnation Fist, and forced Jiang Ge to flee. Jiang Ge recognized Luo Hong as the Primordial Great Demon, but Luo Hong attacked the Seventy-two Xuandu Great Formation to stop his escape.

• Luo Hong used a Time Illusion Body to trick Jiang Ge, then struck him with a Five Elements attack that sealed more than thirty percent of his Immortal Yuan Power.
• Jiang Ge unleashed the Seventy-two Xuandu Great Formation’s corpse-face attack, but Luo Hong shattered it with his Great Five Elements Reincarnation Fist and its Reincarnation Law.
• Jiang Ge noticed Primordial Aura on the Heaven Severing Token and realized Luo Hong was the Primordial Great Demon, so he fled while sending Xuandu Corpse Thunders after Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong chose to attack the formation instead of pursuing Jiang Ge and struck it with the Netherworld Grotto-heaven, making it buckle and causing Jiang Ge to spit blood.

Luo Hong killed Jiang Ge with a devastating spear-finger strike, then captured the surviving Xuandu Corpses and withdrew to the ruined temple to recover. Ten years later, he relaxed with Liu Huan'er and Liu Le'er while eating Purple Extreme Fruits obtained from Jiang Ge's Storage Bag.

• Jiang Ge sacrificed his seventy-two Xuandu Corpses to delay Luo Hong’s pursuit, but Luo Hong used the Startling Thunder Immortal Body Technique and Silver Fairy’s power to pierce Jiang Ge with a spear of light and kill him.
• The spear light cracked the sky above the Linghuan Realm before the cracks quickly closed, while the surviving Xuandu Corpses began breaking free of their restrictions.
• Luo Hong collected the Xuandu Corpses into the Netherworld Grotto-heaven, injuring his right arm, then left for the ruined temple with Han Li.
• You Wangxing learned through his Telepathic Communication Immortal Talisman that Jiang Ge had died, abandoned his fight with Xing Wanhai, and fled toward the cross-realm Altar.
• Xing Wanhai visited the Cold Flame Sect, learned Luo Hong had left, and stayed there for ten years to avoid suspicion.
• At the ruined temple, Luo Hong ate Purple Extreme Fruits while Liu Huan'er massaged his legs, then gave Liu Le'er a spirit peach when she asked for fruit.

Luo Hong and Han Li prepared to leave the Linghuan Realm after the final Purple Extreme Fruits ripened, but Liu Xue'er arrived to take Liu Le'er to the Immortal World. Luo Hong stopped Liu Xue'er from attacking and persuaded her clan to bring Liu Le'er's entire family along, leaving them ready to depart together.

• Luo Hong told Han Li that the final Purple Extreme Fruits would ripen in half a month and that they would soon leave the Linghuan Realm.
• Liu Xue'er broke through the spatial restriction and attacked Luo Hong and Han Li, but Han Li shattered her claw lights and Luo Hong sent his own attack back.

• Luo Hong urged Liu Xue'er to bring the whole Liu family, and Han Li reassured Liu Huan'er about her comprehension.
• Liu Xue'er received the clan elder's agreement to take the family and said they had to set off immediately; Liu Le'er asked Luo Hong whether they would meet again.

Luo Hong reunited with Xing Wanhai, returned to the Immortal World, and advanced to the Late True Immortal stage before resuming their search through the lower realms. Sixty years later, Han Li had ascended to the Immortal World and was preparing to leave Black Wind Island for Candle Dragon Dao, while warning Green Feather Island about the threat from its former allies.

• Luo Hong shared wine with Liu Xue'er and Han Li, then left Liu Xue'er to take the awakened fox demons away.

After returning to the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, Luo Hong encountered Han Li being pursued by Fang Pan and used his Purple Lightning to kill a powerful octopus sea beast. Han Li and Fang Pan were left facing Luo Hong, who stopped Fang Pan from escaping.

• Luo Hong returned to the Northern Cold Immortal Domain and began searching for Green Feather Island, but a giant octopus sea beast dragged him underwater.

• Fang Pan and Han Li fought the octopus sea beast until Luo Hong's Purple Lightning struck and destroyed it.
• Fang Pan tried to flee after realizing Luo Hong had killed the beast, but Luo Hong activated Space Law to stop him.

Luo Hong killed Fang Pan, helped Han Li uncover a clue to his pursuers, and gave him advice before they parted. A year later, Luo Hong returned to Green Feather Island’s alliance gathering as a Late True Immortal and demanded an update on the island’s forces.

• Luo Hong intercepted Fang Pan, took his Green Flood Dragon Pill, and killed him with a single strike after Fang Pan unleashed his saber attack.
• Han Li killed the Brocade Robe Old Man, and Luo Hong sealed the mark on Fang Pan’s black saber so Han Li could investigate it later.

• Han Li gave Luo Hong his Purple Extreme Fruits and departed for Candle Dragon Dao.
• At Green Feather Island’s alliance gathering a year later, Luan Ni told the cultivators that Luo Hong was in seclusion as they complained about Black Wind Island and demanded his leadership.
• Luo Hong appeared, revealed his Late True Immortal cultivation, punished a red-haired cultivator, and asked Luan Ni where the others had gone.

Luo Hong recognized that Northern Cold Immortal Palace was using the conflict with Black Wind Island to distract Green Feather Island from the Nethercold Immortal Mansion entrance. He prepared to stage a war with few casualties, then checked his Netherworld Grotto-heaven and learned that Ghost King's Yin beast experiments were progressing too slowly.

• Luan Ni told Luo Hong that Black Wind Island had seized several outer islands and that the kidnapping of Lu Yuqing appeared suspiciously planned.
• Luo Hong declared war on Black Wind Island and instructed Luan Ni to make the fighting look fierce while keeping casualties low.
• Luo Hong explained to Silver Fairy that Northern Cold Immortal Palace had likely found the Nethercold Immortal Mansion entrance and wanted to keep Green Feather Island occupied.
• Luo Hong emptied the Death Soul Bottles of Desolate Shocking Wind and sent them back to maintain his trade with Lu Jun.
• Luo Hong visited the Netherworld Grotto-heaven, considered how to improve Xue'er's cultivation, and observed Ghost King's trained ghost army.
• Ghost King reported that six altars could refine one Early True Immortal Yin beast in about twenty years.

Luo Hong devised a plan to expand the Power of Faith needed to refine Yin beasts and persuaded Lu Jun to help spread a belief among mortals. After setting the plan in motion, he prepared to cultivate while waiting for the Ghost King to finish making the required artifacts.

• Luo Hong learned that the altars consumed Power of Faith to extract Yin Qi and concluded that increasing their number required more faith rather than simply improving the Ghost King's cultivation.
• Luo Hong dimmed the Purple Great Sun with an illusory restriction and ordered the Ghost King to make as many soul-storing magic artifacts as possible.
• Luo Hong reassured Silver Fairy that the Ghost King had not changed in temperament and left the Netherworld Grotto-heaven to consider the coming conflict with Black Wind Island.
• Luo Hong contacted Lu Jun through an Azure Sea Stele and declared that he intended to seize Black Wind Island's outer-ring islands.
• Luo Hong asked Lu Jun to place his magic artifacts with Earth Immortal statues so mortals could be taught that they would live another life after death, and Lu Jun agreed to try.
• Luo Hong said the plan would not violate Heavenly Court's laws, then stood up and prepared to cultivate with the Green Flood Dragon Pill while awaiting the Ghost King's work.

At Wu Meng Island’s grand ritual, Luo Feng introduced the island masters to the Netherworld Set Meals that Lord Li had brought back from Black Wind Island, showing them how the artifacts could win mortal faith during the war. The island masters left to prepare their islands, while Luo Hong learned that the Ghost King had created deluxe meal options to earn Immortal Yuan Stones for cultivation materials.

• At Wu Meng Island’s grand ritual, Luo Feng told three subordinate island masters that Lord Li advised sealing their islands and avoiding the conflict between Green Feather Island and Black Wind Island.
• Luo Feng gave the island masters standard Netherworld Set Meals and took them to see mortals using a Mirror of Separation to view relatives in the Netherworld.
• Luo Feng explained that the Netherworld Set Meals could increase the Power of Faith, and described deluxe versions with additional Magic Artifacts available for purchase on Black Wind Island.
• The Middle-aged Confucian Scholar hurried off to seek deluxe meals, while the fair-faced young man predicted the strengthened island defenses would stall Green Feather Island’s advance and Island Master Spirit Cloud resolved to seal her island.
• Luo Hong questioned the Ghost King about the deluxe classifications, and the Ghost King explained he wanted Immortal Yuan Stones to buy materials for breaking through bottlenecks.
