Chapter Summaries

Sect Master Tongtian followed Haotian Saint Venerable, Amitabha Buddha, and the others to an egg-shaped space surrounded by an invisible barrier, then realized their proposed bet concealed a trap. He secured a contract promising that they would obey his commands for a hundred years if he passed through the barrier, and the group began timing the challenge.

• The system automatically selected the option to open the barrier, while Sect Master Tongtian remained puzzled by the alternative rewards, True Power and the Key to the True Realm.
• As the group traveled through chaos using a much faster, more efficient Dao method, Sect Master Tongtian found no memories of it in Haotian Saint Venerable or Amitabha Buddha.

• Sect Master Tongtian demanded that, if he won the bet, everyone would let him command them for a hundred years.
• Haotian Saint Venerable, Amitabha Buddha, and the others agreed to the condition and signed a contract, after which Haotian Saint Venerable set an hourglass running.

Sect Master Tongtian spent nearly all the wager’s seven days feasting and performing while Haotian Saint Venerable and Amitabha Buddha believed he had wasted his chance. As the hourglass neared its end, his confidence unsettled them, and he declared that they would have to obey him for a hundred years.

• Haotian Saint Venerable reminded Sect Master Tongtian that only seven days and nights remained, while he and Amitabha Buddha anticipated his defeat.
• Sect Master Tongtian conjured a palace and entertained the gathered cultivators with wine, music, dancing, and a wild pipa performance instead of breaking through the egg-shaped barrier.

• Sect Master Tongtian announced that the others would have to let him command them for a hundred years, and Haotian Saint Venerable and Amitabha Buddha resolved that they would not honor their promise.

Sect Master Tongtian waited until the final moments before claiming he could break the egg-shaped barrier, while Haotian Saint Venerable, Amitabha Buddha, and the others mocked him and anticipated victory. The chapter ended with only one minute remaining as Tongtian played music and his opponents celebrated, still unaware of what he planned.

• With only one minute left, Haotian Saint Venerable, Amitabha Buddha, and their companions relaxed and began celebrating their expected victory.

Sect Master Tongtian opened the egg-shaped barrier and revealed a vast starry world, then reminded the gathered powerhouses of their wager.
