Chapter Summaries

Qi Zixiao agreed to oversee Dan the Fatty’s plan to produce and sell 84 Disinfectant, while Lin Fan and the others began preparing the business. Sword Seventeen arrived with Qiu Mobai to confront Lin Fan and Dan the Fatty, but Qi Zixiao appeared and demanded an explanation for his attempt to trouble a member of her sect.

• Qi Zixiao agreed to protect Dan the Fatty’s 84 Disinfectant business in exchange for half the profits, provided he could successfully produce it.

• Zhou Yining blocked Sword Seventeen from entering Qi Zixiao’s room and warned him against harming a Purple Mansion Holy Land disciple.
• Qi Zixiao opened the door and told Sword Seventeen that Dan the Fatty had not provoked him, so he owed her an explanation for coming to cause trouble.

Qi Zixiao denied any connection to Lin Fan while Sword Seventeen searched for him, unaware that Lin Fan had already reached the Fighting Arena. As the fifth round began, Dan the Fatty and Shi Tiesheng prepared to sell disinfectant sprayers to counter the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

• Qi Zixiao demanded evidence before Sword Seventeen could pursue Dan the Fatty, then told him that finding Lin Fan had nothing to do with her.
• Sword Seventeen left Qi Zixiao's room and waited outside the inn, scanning those who entered and left for Lin Fan.
• Qi Zixiao left the inn with the Saintess Squad, while Sword Seventeen sent Qiu Mobai to oversee the Fighting Arena.

• The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's disciples gathered for the fifth round, and Dan the Fatty and Shi Tiesheng began selling bottles that sprayed 84 Disinfectant.

Qi Zixiao used Dan Chengzi’s match and Chen Cheng’s sales pitch to promote 84 Disinfectant as a counter to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect’s poison. After she hinted that supplies were scarce, the chosen ones rushed to buy it, leaving nearly everyone with at least one bottle.

• Dan Chengzi carried a jar of 84 Disinfectant onto the arena, prompting cultivators to wonder whether it could counter the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect’s poison.
• Qi Zixiao had Chen Cheng loudly advertise the disinfectant, and Zhou Yining argued that buying it was worthwhile because buyers could recover the cost through betting.
• Qi Zixiao told Du Chuan and a Big Dipper Holy Land cultivator that the disinfectant could temporarily neutralize the sect’s strange poison, and Du Chuan bought a jar.
• Several hundred cultivators bought the disinfectant after Du Chuan’s purchase helped persuade them it worked.
• Qi Zixiao hinted that supplies were running low, triggering a rush as chosen ones bought spare bottles in case they faced the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect later.

Qi Zixiao’s 84 Disinfectant sales soared after Tang Xiaoxiao confirmed the spray could suppress his Divine Soul Poison. The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect then lost most of its competitors, leaving Tang Xiaoxiao to blame their misfortune on Dan the Fatty’s countermeasure.

• The chosen prodigies realized Qi Zixiao had plenty of 84 Disinfectant in stock, but accepted their purchases as worthwhile and brought in billions of Spirit Stones.
• Tang Xiaoxiao tested the disinfectant and found that it neutralized his Divine Soul Poison, prompting him to rally his disciples to fight without relying on it.

• Tang Xiaoxiao lamented that Dan the Fatty’s countermeasure had ruined their chances and wondered if his Divine Soul Poison had harmed his own disciples.

Qi Zixiao continued through the tournament while investigating the strange Big Dipper disciples, then crossed over to Earth as Lin Firmament and considered Earth’s ancient myths and the gifts she would make for Lin Fan. The chapter ended with her unsure what kind of treasure to refine for him.

• Qi Zixiao delegated cooperation over the successful 84 Disinfectant to Dan the Fatty as the tournament eliminated more contestants.
• Lu Ming, Fan Jianqiang, the Divine Calculator, Dan the Fatty, and Snow Maiden continued advancing, while Lin Fan received another bye and his burying business dried up.
• Qi Zixiao observed that the Big Dipper disciples seemed emotionless and wondered why they were so strange.
• After crossing over, Lin Firmament watched Lin Fan’s message about his Nascent Soul and laughed when she found it showed no disgust while being used.
• Lin Firmament pondered whether Earth’s myths and legends revealed the origins of the world, then decided to wait before preparing cultivation techniques for Lin Fan’s parents.
• Lin Firmament planned to refine gifts for Lin Fan but could not decide what kind of treasure to make.

Lin Firmament struggled to choose a gift for Lin Fan, then designed and forged a transforming shield axe that could serve as a sword, shield, or heavy axe. After refining its six components and assembling them, she completed a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact and tested its flying sword.

• Lin Firmament weighed making Lin Fan an offensive weapon or a defensive treasure, concerned both about his safety and whether he would like her gift.
• She found the idea of a game shield axe and planned a weapon that could transform between sword, shield, and double-bladed axe forms.
• Lin Firmament studied online models and used Shi Tiesheng's Artifact Refinement Notes to plan the weapon's six modules and their formations.
• She smelted the alloy from the First Emperor's Coffin and refined the six modules, which became Spiritual Artifacts.
• Lin Firmament assembled the modules, inscribed the overall formations, and completed a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact shield axe.
• She drew out the flying sword and watched it circle above her head.

Lin Firmament refined a powerful transforming shield-axe from the First Emperor’s coffin but left it unnamed for its future owner to name. Meanwhile, five Wudang villagers raced into the forest to investigate a mysterious descent of moonlight and starlight, and Lao Shen wondered what they should do if they met anyone else.

• Lin Firmament refined the shield-axe and discovered its exceptional spirituality, defensive abilities, and rapid transformation between shield and heavy axe.
• Lin Firmament considered the weapon’s weight and power, decided against forging one for herself, and left its name for Lin Fan to choose.
• Lin Firmament stored the shield-axe in her dantian, where her lively Nascent Soul eagerly played with it as she relaxed through the night.
• Wudang continued rising after Spiritual Qi Revival, while local villagers returned and outsiders struggled to climb the mountain.
• Five Wudang villagers hurried through the forest to investigate the moonlight and starlight they had seen descend, agreed to divide any discovery evenly, and Lao Shen asked what they would do if they encountered others.

Five brothers searched a newly formed cliff on Wudang Mountain for a treasure, then discovered a cave opening as the rock wall split apart. Lao Shen spotted a red dot in Lao Wang’s third photograph, unaware that a pair of blood-red eyes had opened inside the cave.

• Five men reached a recently risen cliff after seeing moonlight and Star Power descend nearby, but their search turned up nothing unusual besides a huge pile of animal droppings.
• Lao Shen guessed that a bear spirit might be nearby, and the men realized the surrounding forest had grown unnaturally silent.
• Cracking sounds revealed that the cliff face was splitting open, exposing a dark cave about three meters above the ground.
• The brothers used Lao Shen’s shoulders to lift Lao Wang to the entrance, where he took three flash photographs into the darkness.
• As the men examined the photos, Lao Shen noticed a small red dot in the third image, while blood-red vertical pupils opened inside the cave.

Lao Shen, Lao Wang, and their companions discovered a red eye in a cave and chose to risk approaching the ancient being inside in hopes of gaining a chance to cultivate. They encountered a zombie, and the next morning Liu Gang told Lin Firmament that the Seventh Vice Minister wanted to speak with him.

• Luo Shiping enhanced a dark photo and realized the red dot belonged to a terrifying face with a vertical pupil and fangs behind the newly formed stone wall.
• Lao Shen persuaded Lao Wang and the others to gamble on approaching the ancient being, while Luo Shiping urged them to leave.
• Lao Wang and the others climbed into the cave and called out to the being, but a powerful gale swept them back inside.
• The men screamed that they had found a zombie, and Luo Shiping fled as Lao Wang called for him to run.
• The next morning, Liu Gang called Lin Firmament and said the Seventh Vice Minister wanted to speak with him.

Lin Firmament investigated a reported zombie at Wudang and discovered that it was an intelligent, cultivating zombie. Its familiar face triggered a terrifying blank in her memory, leaving her uncertain about the threat as a roar came from the cave.

• Seventh Vice Minister told Lin Firmament that a zombie had appeared near Wudang after an eyewitness reported an attack and shared a photograph.
• Lin Firmament agreed to investigate, and Seventh Vice Minister, Liu Gang, and the others traveled with her to Wudang.
• Chen Chuping and Luo Shiping joined the group, and Luo Shiping lamented fleeing before Liu Gang told him that running had been the right choice.
• The Resident Happiness Living Department assembled armed personnel and folk defenses near the cave, but Lin Firmament crossed the line and used her Divine Sense to inspect it.
• Lin Firmament sensed a real, intelligent zombie and recognized its face as familiar, but found the memory mysteriously sealed and warned that the zombie's strength was hard to judge.
• A roar rang out from the cave, frightening Seventh Vice Minister, Liu Gang, Chen Chuping, and the others.

Lin Firmament confronted a beautiful ancient zombie on Wudang Mountain, who recognized Lin Fan and broke free of her seal after absorbing spiritual energy. A distant Palace Dress Woman linked the encounter to Qi Zixiao, while a flashback showed the Empress visiting First Emperor at the founding of Immortal Qin before the Historian reacted with alarm.

• Lin Firmament broke open the cave and revealed a beautiful female zombie with four zombified men, including Luo Shiping’s missing brothers.
• The zombie recognized Lin Fan, unleashed a devastating roar, and absorbed spiritual energy as Lin Firmament protected the group.
• The zombie’s release shattered half of Wudang Mountain, and Lin Firmament sent the Seventh Vice Minister and the others away before facing her.
• A Palace Dress Woman identical to the zombie divined that she had finally met Qi Zixiao, then worried that little time remained.
• At Immortal Qin’s founding celebration, the Empress congratulated First Emperor, but the Historian suddenly froze and began writing in alarm.

The Historian’s Dao artifact failed to record the past or present, and Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang deduced that a sudden change had struck the ancestral land. Meanwhile, Lin Firmament fought the zombie calling her Lin Fan in outer space, where the zombie’s immense strength and durability left her struggling to injure it.

• The Historian discovered that his history book had gone blank and could no longer record events, while Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang suffered backlash and warned that the ancestral land had changed.
• The First Emperor refused to send anyone back, saying the ancestral land was too mysterious and that interference could cause unforeseen problems.
• Lin Firmament drew the zombie away from Wudang and into outer space to avoid destroying Hua Nation, while the four other zombies remained behind.
• Lin Firmament and the zombie began a fierce battle as observers on Earth and in other countries watched the footage from space.
• Lin Firmament combined her shield and axe into a double-bladed heavy axe and struck the zombie’s skull, but the blow only made sparks and sent them in opposite directions.

Lin Firmament fought the mysterious female zombie in space but was defeated, and she stopped short of biting him before remaining behind and calling him Lin Fan and “guard.” Back on Wudang Mountain, Lin Firmament warned the others that she might retain reason, while the four other zombies regained their senses after he returned their souls to their bodies.

• Lin Firmament battled the female zombie, whose defenses overwhelmed his attacks and depleted his True Essence.
• The zombie pinned Lin Firmament and touched her fangs to his neck without biting, then retreated and called him Lin Fan and “guard” before remaining motionless in space.
• Lin Firmament returned to Wudang Mountain and told Seventh Vice Minister that the zombie was alive, powerful, and likely not intent on killing indiscriminately.
• Seventh Vice Minister planned a search of the damaged mountainside, and Lin Firmament said the four remaining zombies could be subdued.
• Lin Firmament used his soul-force to return the four men’s souls to their bodies, but Liu Gang stopped Luo Shiping from approaching them.

Lao Shen and the other three explained how becoming intelligent zombies had given them strength, while revealing the limits of their kind and their inability to disobey the powerful Red-Eyed zombie who transformed them.

• Seventh Vice Minister asked the four zombies to explain their intentions, and they promised not to bite people indiscriminately and to obey the law.
• Lin Firmament warned that the zombies could not resist their progenitor’s commands, making them a potential danger to the authorities.
• Lao Wang revealed that the zombies’ overriding mission was to protect Lin Fan, and Lin Firmament questioned why their progenitor knew Lin Fan would face danger.

Lin Firmament speculated that the female zombie had traveled back through time to protect Lin Fan, suggesting he would face a future crisis. After sending the four zombies away to cultivate, Lin Firmament and the Seventh Vice Minister discussed the risks of using zombies and the need to prepare for threats on Earth and from Beyond the Heavens.

• Lin Firmament reasoned that the female zombie might have come from the future to protect Lin Fan, and concluded that he might eventually face a life-or-death crisis.
• Lao Wang asked to stay with Lin Fan, but Lin Firmament told the four zombies to grow stronger by absorbing Spiritual Qi rather than harming people for blood.
• Lin Firmament warned the Seventh Vice Minister against forming zombie squads because zombies could bring about calamity, and he agreed to focus on cultivating reliable cultivators.

• The Seventh Vice Minister worried that Earth could face hidden dangers from advanced civilizations Beyond the Heavens and urged preparations for the Spiritual Qi Revival.

Lin Firmament checked on Zhou Xiaoran’s work and searched for news about Wudang, while Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao arranged to meet in Three Saints City and share wine. The chapter ended with Qi Zixiao ordering twenty jars of Spiritual Wine, leaving the inn’s maid stunned.

• Lin Firmament learned that Zhou Xiaoran had nearly finished designing the formations for Spiritual Qi Revival and would return the following week with discoveries to discuss.

• Qi Zixiao ordered several small dishes and twenty jars of Spiritual Wine worth one hundred million Spirit Stones, shocking the inn’s young maid.

Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao got drunk together at the Three Immortals Inn, then woke up in the same bed before Qi Zixiao’s tournament match. Lin Fan’s drunken instinctive groping enraged her, and the chapter ended with her attacking him.

• Lin Fan squeezed Qi Zixiao’s chest and tried to explain it was instinct, but she woke, became furious, and attacked him.

Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao concealed their drunken encounter, while the Heaven's Chosen Assembly changed its schedule to four rounds a day. As Sword Seventeen and Qiu Mobai confronted Lin Fan and demanded something from him, Lin Fan pretended not to recognize them.

• Qi Zixiao warned the maid and the person in charge to keep quiet about her time alone with Lin Fan, then went to her match, where her North Star Holy Land opponent immediately forfeited.
• Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao suspected the opponent's emotionless behavior was abnormal, and Huo Yuan announced that the assembly would hold four rounds each day starting tomorrow.
• Dan the Fatty's stall district grew noisy as competitors crowded in to buy healing treasures, while Lin Fan calculated that the final would take place the day after tomorrow.
• Sword Seventeen and Qiu Mobai approached Lin Fan and demanded that he hand something over, but Lin Fan pretended he did not know who they were.
