Chapter Summaries

Gongshu Jiu used puppets and the Qi Shadow Technique to test and restrain the cultivators while Luo Hong collected Taiyi Pills and Jiao Three prepared to awaken the corpse. After Jiao Three revealed her Reincarnation Law and rushed for the golden throne, Gongshu Jiu pursued her, leaving Luo Qinghai to offer the others a way to escape.

• Gongshu Jiu killed Qi Tianxiao and Nan Kemeng, captured their nascent souls, and sent Golden Armor Puppets and white mist figures to fight the others.
• Luo Hong collected two Taiyi Pills while Jiao Three urged him to help awaken the corpse and agreed to wait for the ninth pill before receiving the three pills he had promised.
• Jiao Three warned the others that the Qi Shadow Technique stole Law Power through their auras, so Han Li and the others fought the figures with immortal treasures instead.
• Han Li destroyed his white mist figure with Primordial Sword Qi, and Gongshu Jiu strengthened the remaining figures while assessing the cultivators' abilities and treasures.

• Luo Qinghai smashed his Golden Armor Puppet and offered Han Li's group and the Nanli Tribe elders a Four Seas Roaming Great Formation escape, but they stayed focused on the golden throne.

Feng Tiandu and Luo Qinghai escaped Taiyi Hall while Luo Hong helped Jiao Three give the Void Origin Pill to Mo Yu, but Mo Yu failed to awaken. As Gongshu Jiu attacked the Reincarnation Hall group, Luo Hong appeared near him and the redirected sword strike rushed toward Luo Hong.

• Feng Tiandu summoned three Corpse Fiend Avatars and persuaded Luo Qinghai to help him fight the Golden Armor Puppet and activate the escape formation.
• Jiao Three forced the Void Origin Pill into Mo Yu's mouth, but Gongshu Jiu's Qi Dao Law initially prevented the pill from reaching his throat.

• Luo Hong used Peak Golden Immortal Space Law to break Gongshu Jiu's obstruction, allowing Mo Yu to swallow the pill, but Mo Yu's gray spiritual domain soon contracted without awakening him.
• Gongshu Jiu unleashed the Nine Absolute Qi Shadow Sword at Jiao Three, but Luo Hong appeared beside him and the azure qi blade turned back toward Luo Hong at several times its original speed.

Luo Hong and Han Li joined forces with Lu Yuqing to defeat and kill Gongshu Jiu, while Jiao Three’s attempt to awaken a Taiyi Grey Immortal failed. After Taiyi Hall was destroyed, Luo Hong took charge of the remaining spoils and prepared to search the ruins with Han Li.

• Gongshu Jiu tried to trap Luo Hong, but Luo Hong attacked with the Sky Breaking Spear fused with Great Black Sky Thunder and disrupted Gongshu Jiu’s Qi Shadow Technique.
• Lu Yuqing used the Nethercold Immortal Mansion’s restrictions to summon a silver greatsword that devastated Taiyi Hall and struck down Gongshu Jiu.
• Han Li used the Time Law to intercept Gongshu Jiu’s Nascent Soul, and Luo Hong sealed it with black lightning and five-colored crystal.
• Luo Hong supported the exhausted Lu Yuqing, explained that he had used Mo Yu’s Taiyi Grey Immortal aura to pressure Gongshu Jiu, and refused to give Jiao Three the Taiyi Pills.
• Jiao Three left, and Luo Hong directed Han Li to search the ruins while Mu Yan Hong collected the immortal herbs and precious materials.
• Luo Hong found Gongshu Jiu’s storage bag and the damaged Myriad Wheel Dharma Bead among the ruins.

Luo Hong completed the Golden Sun Reverse Rain Great Formation, using Gongshu Jiu’s Nascent Soul to boost its time acceleration, and began recovering inside it with Han Li and Lu Yuqing. After three years passed, Luo Hong and Han Li divided the harvest from Taiyi Hall and Gongshu Jiu’s Storage Bag, including rare immortal herbs, masks, treasures, and pill formulas.

• Luo Hong used Great Tong Gold Wind to wear away the spiritual sense imprint on Gongshu Jiu’s Storage Bag while Han Li recovered the Nine Dragon Pearl Holding Furnace from the White Immortal Fire.
• Luo Hong brought Han Li and Lu Yuqing into the Golden Sun Inverse Rain Array, activated its Time Flowing Sundial, and completed the formation with Gongshu Jiu’s sealed Nascent Soul as fuel.
• The completed formation accelerated time by 182 times, convincing Han Li to accept Luo Hong’s use of Gongshu Jiu’s Nascent Soul; Luo Hong and Lu Yuqing then settled in to recover.
• After three years inside the formation, Luo Hong met Han Li and Mu Yan Hong and arranged for them to divide the graded immortal herbs, giving his share to Han Li.
• Luo Hong opened Gongshu Jiu’s Storage Bag, and Han Li and Mu Yan Hong selected Wu Chang Alliance masks before Han Li identified pill formulas for the Jade Clarity Pill and Yi Yuan Pill.

Luo Hong and Han Li divided Gongshu Jiu’s treasures, uncovering a rare Law Dao Pill and powerful immortal artifacts while settling how to handle his Heavenly Court identity token. Afterward, Luo Hong searched Xiao Jinhan’s Storage Bag and gave Han Li its pill formulas, medicines, and Huanan Pill Scripture, leaving Han Li with another pile of alchemy materials to study.

• Han Li identified Gongshu Jiu’s Seventh-grade Qi Dao Law Dao Pill, while Luo Hong found high-grade Reincarnation and Time Law materials among the spoils.

• Luo Hong gave Han Li eight hundred thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, then searched Xiao Jinhan’s Storage Bag and passed Han Li its medicines, Pill Formulas, and Huanan Pill Scripture.

After dividing the spoils, Luo Hong sent Mu Yan Hong and Han Li away from the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, then worked with Lu Yuqing and Little White to break the Taiyi Hall’s hidden restriction. The secret realm collapsed and carried Luo Hong beyond the Heavenly Wind Domain, outside the Immortal World.

• Luo Hong shared two Taiyi Pills with Han Li and Mu Yan Hong and decided to leave the Nethercold Immortal Mansion early.
• Luo Hong sent Mu Yan Hong toward the Wilderness Continent through spatial turbulence, then sent Han Li to the Lesser Heavenly Nether Realm after Han Li bound the White Jade Pixiu as his spirit beast.

• The restriction split the floating continent into eight islands, which crashed into the secret realm’s spatial barriers and caused the Taiyi Hall secret realm to collapse.
• Eight streams of spatial turbulence carried Luo Hong beyond the Heavenly Wind Domain and outside the Immortal World.

Luo Hong refined a continent-sized meteorite into the Little Black Ball, causing the Tianyan Instrument to detect his use of Primordial Power but fail to track him in the Outer Heaven Domain.

• Luo Hong refined thirty-six Time Crystals, formed them into a Time Field in the Nine Heavens Gāng Wind, and transformed it with his Illusory World Star Pupil.

Luo Hong returned to Xiong Family Fort, where he revealed himself as Mo Bufan and gave the clan Primordial Sword Qi. That night, a frail young man with a wicked smile arrived with Xiong Shan’s Fourth Uncle, and Luo Hong questioned the hidden force protecting the Xiong Family.

• Luo Hong collected ninety-nine wisps of Black Chalk Wind before the Spatial Node collapsed and escaped through it.
• The White-haired Old Man and the Xiong Family elders learned that a Heavenly Court Inspector Immortal Envoy had likely died in the Nethercold Immortal Mansion, apparently at the hands of a formidable female sword cultivator.
• Luo Hong arrived at Xiong Family Fort, identified himself as Mo Bufan, and explained that the Wusheng Ancestor had left the Northern Cold Immortal Domain to recover.
• Luo Hong gave the Xiong Family a sword carrying Primordial Sword Qi and settled into Yulin Pavilion.
• That night, Xiong Shan’s Fourth Uncle accompanied a frail young man to meet Luo Hong, who asked what force had secretly protected the Xiong Family.

Luo Hong met an incarnation of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and traded a vow to cultivate a bead of Heavenly Demons for a high-grade Reincarnation Mask, while persuading him to spare the Xiong Family for ten thousand years. After arranging for the Xiong Family to capture nether beasts, Luo Hong returned to the Northern Cold Immortal Palace and greeted Xue Ying.

• Luo Hong identified the frail young man as the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and asked him for a high-grade Reincarnation Mask and Heavenly Demon Cloud.
• The Heavenly Demon Ancestor gave Luo Hong a Heavenly Demon Bead and a Reincarnation Mask after Luo Hong swore to use the bead’s hundred thousand Heavenly Demons to cultivate his primordial spirit.

• Luo Hong arranged for the Xiong Family to capture nether beasts and left Xiong Family Fort, while the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and the Green-faced Man discussed monitoring him.
• Half a year later, Luo Hong returned to the Northern Cold Immortal Palace and greeted Vice Palace Master Xue Ying.

Luo Hong joined the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan to travel from the Northern Cold Immortal Domain back to the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. After paying for passage, he explored the caravan’s Heavenly Court trading Jade Scroll and considered how to use it alongside his Reincarnation Mask.

• Xue Ying took Luo Hong to the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan, where he met Li Min and learned that Song Yaoguang’s squad guarded her.
• Song Yaoguang verified Luo Hong’s identity and brought him to Leader Li, who accepted him as a passenger for ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones.
• Song Yaoguang showed Luo Hong to a guest cabin and lent him her Jade Scroll after he explained that he needed to guard the captured Baili Yan.
• Luo Hong explored the Jade Scroll’s trading functions and saw that Heavenly Court cultivators could exchange merit for spiritual items.
• Luo Hong decided that Baili Yan would be his first source of wealth in the Heavenly Court.

Luo Hong planned his cultivation during the merchant caravan’s journey and began refining a Taiyi cultivation pill, but paused to observe the caravan’s response to a Sand Beast King. Song Yaoguang and the Golden Immortal Guards returned battered with an insect swarm behind them, leaving the threat approaching the caravan.

• Luo Hong set up a Time Law Array, planned his mana, law, body, and Primordial Spirit cultivation, and swallowed a Taiyi cultivation pill.
• Leader Wang warned Leaders Li and Ma about a Taiyi-level Sand Beast King, and they agreed to lure it out with Spirit Shocking Pearls and hunt it.
• Leader Li ordered Song Yaoguang to lead the mission and retreat if the Sand Beast King proved too powerful.
• A Zi told Luo Hong that the caravan had split its formation and sent Golden Immortal cultivators out, and Luo Hong deduced that it was setting a trap for the Sand Beast King.
• After more than half a year, Song Yaoguang and the guards fled back toward the caravan with a black insect swarm behind them, while A Zi recognized the creatures as delicious.

Luo Hong watched the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan battle a Sand Beast swarm and used his Illusory World Star Pupil to make a Taiyi Sand Beast flee before it could destroy his flying boat. The caravan survived, then prepared to search captured Golden Immortal Sand Beasts for information about the mineral vein.

• Luo Hong restrained A Zi from attacking the Human-faced Scorpions, and the Sand Beast swarm emerged to assault the caravan’s flying boats.
• Twelve Golden Immortal Sand Beasts attacked the caravan’s spirit domains, but a Golden Yuan Giant Boat struck them down with golden lightning.
• A Taiyi Sand Beast emerged, swallowed the Great Jin Yuan Seal, and used its spirit domain to force the caravan’s boats toward the insect tide.
• The other two Golden Yuan Giant Boats arrived and joined the first in forming the Thousand Gold Void-Breaking Great Formation, while three Taiyi Cultivators fought the Taiyi Sand Beast.
• The Taiyi Sand Beast charged at Luo Hong’s Golden Yuan Giant Boat, and Luo Hong used his Illusory World Star Pupil to make it flee through an illusion.
• The caravan defeated the remaining swarm and planned to rest while searching the captured Golden Immortal Sand Beasts for information about the mineral vein.

Luo Hong secretly returned to the Taiyi Sand Beast King’s lair, harvested Yellow Dragon Sand and ore, and captured the beast’s core and soul before the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan arrived. The caravan began mining the vein, while its leaders discovered the Insect Sand was gone and realized the wounded beast had somehow escaped with it.

• Luo Hong bought the Human-faced Scorpion corpses from Song Yaoguang for one hundred Immortal Yuan Stones and sent A Zi to feed on them.
• Luo Hong used his illusion mark to control the Taiyi Sand Beast King, found its Yellow Dragon Stone vein, and collected nearly all the Yellow Dragon Sand from its lair.
• Luo Hong cut out the Sand Beast King’s core and soul, trapped its soul in the Mitian Bell, and had Baili Yan help move the corpse into the Netherworld Grotto-heaven.
• Luo Hong returned to his cabin before the caravan search party arrived, then declined Song Yaoguang’s invitation to help mine the vein.
• The Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan began mining the Yellow Dragon Stone vein, while its three leaders found the lair empty and complained that the Insect Sand had been taken.

Luo Hong halted his cultivation just short of the Peak Golden Immortal realm and spent his time tempering himself while refining a new artifact. When the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan unexpectedly stopped in the Savage Lands, he learned that Nie Chonggang, the Palace Master he would report to, needed the caravan’s Golden Immortals to help with a capture operation.

• Luo Hong opened twelve immortal apertures with a Taiyi Pill, then deliberately left his final aperture incomplete to avoid facing Fiend Decay before he was ready.
• Luo Hong used Yellow Dragon Sand and the Taiyi Sand Beast King’s core to reforge the Earth Store Dharma Wheel into an artifact he named the Yellow Wind Pearl.
• A Zi reported that the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan had stopped, so Luo Hong left his grotto-heaven and asked Song Yaoguang what had happened.
• Song Yaoguang explained that seniors from the Black Mountain Immortal Domain had met the caravan leaders to discuss procurement, but she soon received an order to gather every Golden Immortal aboard.
• Leader Li introduced Nie Chonggang, the Mid Taiyi Palace Master of the Black Mountain Immortal Palace, who asked the Golden Immortals to help set up a formation for a capture operation.

Luo Hong helped agree to the Thunder Beast capture mission and asked Nie Chonggang to help him obtain the next layer of Black Armor Tower’s Life Source Technique. As the cultivators prepared to capture the beast, Luo Hong recognized the embroidered balls used to select the formation’s main-flag wielders and suspected Brocade Tower might be connected to the Reincarnation Hall.

• Song Yaoguang and most of the Golden Immortals agreed to help Nie Chonggang capture a Mid Taiyi Realm Thunder Beast in exchange for merit points.
• Luo Hong handed Baili Yan over to Nie Chonggang and requested help obtaining the Life Source Technique from Gu Fangtong of Black Armor Tower.
• Nie Chonggang agreed to raise Luo Hong’s request with Gu Fangtong, and Luo Hong grew wary that the capture mission could go wrong.
• Ninety Golden Immortals gathered as Ming Jing distributed Formation Flags for the Great Dream Flower Array, and Luo Hong volunteered to compete for a main flag.
• Ming Jing sent Luo Hong and eight others into Exquisite Embroidered Balls to select the main-flag wielders, and Luo Hong recognized them as treasures he had given Yao'er.

Luo Hong and the other cultivators joined Nie Chonggang, Gu Fangtong, and Fairy Ming Jing to hunt a supposed Taiyi Lightning Beast, but the target revealed itself as a Magnetic Lion. As the battle turned against Gu Fangtong, Luo Hong suspected the creature was actually a Thunder Beast, and Gu Fangtong was seized by its lightning.

• Luo Hong passed Ming Jing’s illusion test first, chose the Blood Lotus Flag, and practiced the Great Dream Flower Array with the other cultivators.
• Nie Chonggang led the group north on Gu Fangtong’s Green Spirit Boat, and Luo Hong concealed them with the Idle Cloud Pearl as they waited near the beast’s hiding place.
• Nie Chonggang attacked the Black Stone Mountain, which transformed into a Black Stone Lion and fought back with Silver Lightning.
• Gu Fangtong battled the Magnetic Lion with his Crimson Battle Saber while Nie Chonggang and Fairy Ming Jing realized the target might not be a Thunder Beast.
• Luo Hong warned Nie Chonggang that the creature could control metals and Magnetic Stone if it transformed into lightning, but Gu Fangtong split its head before the warning reached him.
• Azure lightning surged from the Magnetic Lion’s rubble, formed a giant hand that seized Gu Fangtong, and coursed through his body as he screamed.

Luo Hong realized the Taiyi Lightning Beast hunt was a trap: four beasts ambushed Nie Chonggang, Gu Fangtong, and Fairy Ming Jing, while Luo Hong fled with Song Yaoguang’s group. As Luo Hong weighed whether to return to the merchant caravan or travel alone, a golden-red escape light and an pursuing Taiyi Lightning Beast closed in behind him.

• Gu Fangtong escaped the disguised Taiyi Lightning Beast’s attack, and the beast revealed its true form and refused Nie Chonggang’s offer to surrender.
• Luo Hong activated the encircling formation while Nie Chonggang, Gu Fangtong, and Fairy Ming Jing fought the beast, but he recognized black magnetic stones forming a Multi-Spatial Piercing Lightning Array.
• Three more Taiyi Lightning Beasts appeared in the array and trapped the three Taiyi cultivators in an Azure Lightning Prison Cage.
• Luo Hong warned Song Yaoguang’s group to flee, and they abandoned their formation flags and ran toward the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan as the grand formation collapsed.
• A Taiyi Lightning Beast pursued the fleeing cultivators and attacked Tao Dekuai’s group, prompting Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang’s group to scatter in different directions.
• Luo Hong saw a blood-red flower bloom over the distant battlefield, then noticed a golden-red escape light approaching him with an azure lightning bolt close behind.

Luo Hong lured the Taiyi Lightning Beast into an immortal artifact’s inner space and fought back with his treasures, laws, and A Zi’s help. He wounded the beast and disrupted its Spiritual Domain, but the beast detonated its silver lightning axe to break free of Luo Hong’s Great Tong Sand Wind.

• Song Yaoguang fled toward the caravan after Luo Hong drew the Taiyi Lightning Beast’s pursuit away from her.
• Luo Hong brought the Taiyi Lightning Beast into an immortal artifact’s inner space, where he used Yellow Dragon Sand and the Great Five Elements Reincarnation Fist to counter its attacks.
• A Zi eroded the beast’s Spiritual Domain while Luo Hong used the Mitian Bell to expose it to a seven-hit strike of Great Black Sky Thunder.
• The Taiyi Lightning Beast withdrew its Spiritual Domain into cloud armor and tried to escape, but Luo Hong trapped it in a Yellow Sand Tornado and used Great Tong Gold Wind to strip away its protection.
• The Taiyi Lightning Beast detonated its silver lightning axe, blasting open the Great Tong Sand Wind.

Luo Hong defeated the Taiyi Lightning Beast, took its beast core and wings, and returned to the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan. Nie Chonggang and the others also made it back, while three other Taiyi Lightning Beasts searched for Zhen Yuan before withdrawing to meet someone.

• Luo Hong trapped the Taiyi Lightning Beast with the Great Tong Sand Wind, resisted its Primordial Spirit attack in his Illusion Space, and seized its beast core and wings.
• Luo Hong returned to the Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan, where the leaders argued over whether to attempt a rescue.
• Nie Chonggang arrived badly injured with Fairy Ming Jing asleep and Fellow Daoist Gu in a new Physical Body, then learned Luo Hong had already returned safely.
• Song Yaoguang explained how Luo Hong had saved her, and Nie Chonggang and Leader Li found Luo Hong resting in a passenger cabin.
• Three Taiyi Lightning Beasts searched the great lake for Zhen Yuan, found only shattered Spatial Fluctuation, and left to meet someone.

The Golden Yuan Merchant Caravan reached Ju Kun City, where Luo Hong learned that Song Yaoguang would join the Black Mountain Immortal Palace and arranged to serve under her. Nie Chonggang rewarded Luo Hong with the Life Source Technique and an opportunity to study immortal artifact refinement, then ordered an investigation into Luo Hong’s Ascension Altar; Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang entered Ju Kun City together.

• Song Yaoguang told Luo Hong she planned to leave the merchant caravan and take a post at the Black Mountain Immortal Palace, where they could support each other.
• Nie Chonggang gave Luo Hong a jade slip containing the three layers of the Life Source Technique and agreed to arrange for him to study at the Black Armor Tower.
• Luo Hong asked to serve under Song Yaoguang after Nie Chonggang went into seclusion, and Nie Chonggang approved.
• Nie Chonggang ordered Xuan Ying to investigate Luo Hong’s Ascension Altar after Luo Hong left the healing hall.
• Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang entered Ju Kun City and examined its Immortal Execution List, where Luo Hong spotted Gan Jiuzhen and Li Feiyu.
