Chapter Summaries

Fifth Zhongmou tried to deter the crowd from attacking by threatening revenge, but Lan Cai'er and Qi Zi turned his threat into a reason for everyone to unite against him and the Fifth One Clan. As the crowd prepared to strike, Fifth Zhongmou panicked and tried to deny that his oath was binding, but no one listened.

• Fifth Zhongmou calmly faced the gathered crowd and warned that he would remember and punish anyone who attacked him.
• Su Ye struck Fifth Zhongmou, who blocked the attack and threatened Su Ye, Qi Zi, Lan Cai'er, and their companions.
• Qi Zi proposed that the crowd attack together and later join forces to destroy the Fifth One Clan if it sought revenge.
• Lan Cai'er urged the crowd to treat Fifth Zhongmou's oath as grounds to hold him and his clan responsible for any future deaths.
• Qi Mozi attacked Fifth Zhongmou and encouraged the others to join in, prompting attacks and preparations from across the crowd.
• Fifth Zhongmou tried to claim that he had not made a binding oath, but the crowd ignored him as he realized the Fifth One Clan was in danger.

Fifth Zhongmou was crippled, soul-searched, and killed after the Nine Heavenly Palaces swore to share what they learned. The search revealed a Foundation of Heavenly Dao hidden in Silent Valley, and the chapter ended with the Nine Heavenly Palaces and nearly eighteen hundred other cultivators racing and fighting to reach it.

• The assembled cultivators overwhelmed Fifth Zhongmou, who accepted defeat without resisting, and the Nine Heavenly Palaces agreed to share the results of his Soul Searching after swearing an oath.
• As Fifth Zhongmou tried to kill himself, a Heavenly Palace disciple saved him with a Great Reviving Pill and began the Soul Searching.
• After discovering a secret in Fifth Zhongmou's memories, the Nine Heavenly Palaces rushed into Silent Valley; Qi Zi realized their oath had not specified when they had to share the information, and the other cultivators pursued them.
• Qi Zi and Lan Cai'er spread the theory that reaching the destination first might determine who obtained the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, prompting the cultivators to race ahead and attack the Nine Heavenly Palaces.
• The Nine Heavenly Palaces reached a bend in the valley and agreed among themselves not to seize the Foundation of Heavenly Dao from whichever of their members obtained it.

The First Sequences discovered a Dao-woven egg in Silent Valley after learning that the barrier and Foundation of Heavenly Dao might have vanished. Qi Zi realized his forehead symbol might be another Foundation and began hiding its resonance as Lan Cai'er warned him to flee before anyone else noticed.

• The Nine Heavenly Palaces disciples accused Di Qing of lying about the barrier, but he swore his account of Fifth Zhongmou’s memories was true.
• Di Qing revealed that the Fifth One Clan believed a destined person could claim the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, and that it might have been taken within the past month.
• Lan Cai’er led the First Sequences deeper into Silent Valley, where rival groups split apart and guarded against one another.
• The gathered First Sequences found a large egg woven from Dao Principles and Divine Runes, and Lan Cai’er warned Qi Zi’s group that a deadly fight was likely.
• Qi Zi recognized the egg’s appearance from his earlier Dao comprehension and suspected the symbol between his brows might also be a Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
• Qi Zi’s symbol resonated with the egg, and Lan Cai’er noticed his peony-flower mark and quietly advised him to escape before others discovered it.

Qi Zi'Fan watched the battle over the suspected Foundation of Heavenly Dao, then joined the fighting before the eggshell broke open. A yellow-robed woman emerged bearing the mark of one of the Nine Paths Immortals, and Qi Zi'Fan recognized her as Ji Chutong just as everyone turned against her.

• Lan Cai'er approached the eggshell, and Li Xiuyuan, Qi Mozi, and Di Qing's declarations triggered a battle among the gathered First Sequences.
• Lan Cai'er tried to sneak toward the eggshell but was exposed and forced to fight; Qi Zi'Fan sent Zou Hu, Su Ye, and Lu Yao away for their safety.
• Zou Hu, Su Ye, and Lu Yao told a group heading into the valley that Fifth Zhongmou was dead and the Foundation of Heavenly Dao had appeared, prompting them to rush inside.
• Qi Zi'Fan learned from Lan Cai'er that the battle was meant to eliminate weaker competitors, so he joined the fighting as more than a hundred First Sequences died or were wounded.
• The eggshell cracked and burst open, revealing a yellow-robed woman with the mark of one of the Nine Paths Immortals, whom Qi Zi'Fan recognized as Ji Chutong.
• The gathered First Sequences focused their killing intent on Ji Chutong, and Qi Zi'Fan realized she was in immediate danger.

Qi Zi risked exposing his powers to help Ji Chutong escape the First Sequence cultivators pursuing her Foundation of Heavenly Dao. Li Xiuyuan used Establish Word to move Ji Chutong away from the attackers, but the chase ended with the Confucian Cultivators discovering a strange change in their bodies.

• Qi Zi awakened Ji Chutong as more than a thousand First Sequence cultivators surrounded her and launched a coordinated attack.
• Ji Chutong used her Foundation of Heavenly Dao to break the first assault, but Qi Zi struck with Hydrogen Bomb Archery and used Time Dilation to help her flee.
• Li Xiuyuan restrained Qi Zi and pursued Ji Chutong, while the other cultivators closed in behind them.
• At the valley exit, Qi Zi fired a seemingly powerless Cobalt Bomb Arrow, and Li Xiuyuan used Establish Word to shift Ji Chutong five hundred miles south at the cost of severe backlash.
• The other Confucian Cultivators tried to follow with Establish Word, but their technique failed, and they discovered something was wrong with their bodies.

Qi Zi and Ji Chutong escaped the pursuing cultivators, but Li Xiuyuan ambushed them alone and withstood Qi Zi’s strongest attack. As they searched for a way to defeat him, Qi Zi learned how Ji Chutong obtained the Foundation of Heavenly Dao and began to connect it to his earlier doubts.

• The poisoned pursuers suffered bizarre bodily changes and suspected Lan Cai'er’s arrow, while Li Xiuyuan used repeated Establish Word techniques to escape with Qi Zi and Ji Chutong.
• Li Xiuyuan trapped the pair in a field and demanded their Foundation of Heavenly Dao, Invincible Art, and bow, but Qi Zi used Time Dilation to pin him down and fire an arrow.
• Li Xiuyuan survived Qi Zi’s Hydrogen Bomb Archery behind the protection of his folding fan, leaving Qi Zi and Ji Chutong unable to overpower him with their current attacks.
• While they stalled for time, Ji Chutong explained that she had touched a rune in a mountain valley, entered passive enlightenment, and later learned that Refrain from Anger had died protecting her.
• Qi Zi told Ji Chutong that the rune was the Foundation of Heavenly Dao and described its potential, then realized that this information clarified some of his earlier doubts.

Qi Zi and Ji Chutong combined their powers to defeat Li Xiuyuan and claim his folding fan, then fled as the other First Sequence cultivators pursued them. Lan Cai'er decided to follow from a distance and wait for a chance to obtain the Foundation of Heavenly Dao without attacking Qi Zi herself.

• Qi Zi and Ji Chutong planned to use the Foundation of Heavenly Dao and her Innate Dao Body to break through Li Xiuyuan’s defenses while Qi Zi restrained him with Time Dilation.
• Li Xiuyuan used Establish Word to gain Three Heads Six Arms, but Ji Chutong bound him with Order Divine Chains and forced a chain into his body to stop him from speaking.
• Ji Chutong found that Li Xiuyuan’s weakness was inside his body and erased his mark on the folding fan, leaving Qi Zi free to kill him with Hydrogen Bomb Archery.
• Ji Chutong recovered the folding fan, followed the Dao’s guidance, and led Qi Zi away before the pursuing cultivators arrived.
• The cultivators found traces of the fight and resumed their pursuit, while Lan Cai'er chose to trail Qi Zi and Ji Chutong and wait for an opportunity to take the Foundation of Heavenly Dao.

Ji Chutong and Qi Zi fled from the First Sequences hunting them for the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, while Zou Hu, Lu Yao, and Su Ye left their hiding place to seek strength. In the Cultivation World, Kun Peng Cave’s arrival turned the battle against the Seven Great Holy Lands, leaving their leaders struggling to hold the line.

• Qi Zi broke through during a battle, and he and Ji Chutong continued escaping their pursuers while she guided them around danger.
• Ji Chutong offered to carry Qi Zi so he could comprehend a new method between fights, and Qi Zi realized she had sensed his Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
• Zou Hu, Lu Yao, and Su Ye decided to leave their hiding place near the Towering Remnant Trees and risk fighting stronger opponents.
• The Seven Great Holy Lands gained ground against the Life Forbidden Zones, while hidden figures discussed their plans and waited for their recovery to finish.
• Yuchi Shanhai and more than thirty Quasi-Emperors from Kun Peng Cave joined the battle, reversing the Life Forbidden Zones’ decline.
• Gu Xinglian, Long Wu, Su Muxue, Lan Feiye, and Jiang Yi fought on as the Seven Great Holy Lands were pushed back.

As the battle against the Life Forbidden Zone worsened, Qi Zixiao’s group pursued a mysterious extraterrestrial creature and brought in Xiao Zhan to attempt a body seizure. On Earth, Ye Qingcheng chose to teach and help build Shenzhou’s future, while Hua Nation advanced its combined cultivation and technology programs and Eagle Country’s Blood Clan grew as faith in God faltered.

• Qi Zixiao and her companions deduced that extraterrestrial creatures might be recovering at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and decided to capture one rather than kill it outright.
• Dan the Fatty brought Xiao Zhan to the Western Wilderness, where he caught the fleeing creature after Divine Calculator tracked it with the Fiery Eyes of Truth.
• Qi Zixiao explained the Three Lifetimes Method to Xiao Zhan, who agreed to spend several days studying it before attempting to seize the creature’s body.
• Ye Qingcheng told the Empress she would remain a teacher and become a spark for Shenzhou’s future generations, and the Empress offered to seek rare treasures for her.
• Hua Nation expanded cultivation education and research combining technology with cultivation, while its scientific farming and extraterrestrial technology projects accelerated.
• In Eagle Country, dwindling faith in God drove many people to seek Blood Clan membership, and Blood Clan members began using supernatural beings as mobile blood banks.

Qi Zi and Ji Chutong used the Human Head Fruit Tree and Lan Cai'er to lure over a crowd of First Sequences, who were slaughtered by the tree and its mutated poisonous creatures. Elsewhere, Xiao Zhan successfully seized the strange being’s body and began absorbing its memories.

• Jehovah cautiously explored Kunlun but found treasures he could neither recognize nor use, while Zou Hu, Su Ye, and Lu Yao continued fighting in the Myriad Realms Abyss to strengthen themselves.
• Qi Zi and Ji Chutong encountered the Human Head Fruit Tree and persuaded Lan Cai'er to help set a trap for pursuing First Sequences, promising her the spoils.
• Qi Zi and Ji Chutong planted an illusion of an injured Ji Chutong near the tree, then lured more than a hundred First Sequences into a battle over the supposed Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
• Lan Cai'er and the Human Head Fruit Tree trapped the First Sequences between deadly poison, piercing roots, and mutated poisonous creatures, producing 147 human-head fruits after killing them.
• Xiao Zhan used the Three Lifetimes Method to seize the strange being’s body, subdued it, and began fusing with its memories.

Xiao Zhan learned that the Four-Alike was tied to a group of Great Emperors from Yuan Yang World who were secretly provoking the war to weaken the Cultivation World and restore their strength. Five years later, as the battle continued to devastate both sides, Su Muxue wielded the Sky Gazing Mirror and began devouring her enemies with an uncontrolled, demonic power.

• Xiao Zhan seized the Four-Alike’s body and revealed that it had once been a Great Emperor-level divine beast whose true spirit he destroyed.
• Xiao Zhan learned from the Four-Alike’s memories that other powerful beings from Yuan Yang World planned to overturn the Cultivation World, and that they had helped provoke the war to consume its high-level cultivators and recover their strength.
• Xiao Zhan absorbed his own body and soul to strengthen himself, then infiltrated the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to try to delay the outsiders’ recovery.
• Qi Zixiao, Lu Yao, and the others returned to their sects and cultivated; over five years, the Holy Sons and Saintesses advanced to around the Celestial Platform Third Order while the war reduced both sides’ Quasi-Emperors to fewer than seventy.
• During a fierce battle, Mo Daolin gave Su Muxue the Sky Gazing Mirror, and she used it to reach Holy Master-level combat strength.
• Su Muxue’s power surged into a black vortex that devoured energy and battlefield remains; she lost consciousness, seized an Old Undying, and drained him until he became skin and bones.

Su Muxue’s Heaven Devouring Magic Art helped the Seven Great Holy Lands defeat the Life Forbidden Zones, but the victory was interrupted when they confronted powerful seven-colored souls from the Yuan Yang World. The chapter ended as a new battle began Beyond the Heavens and returning Quasi-Emperors realized their opponents might be a group of Emperors.

• Su Muxue used the Heaven Devouring Magic Art with the Sky Gazing Mirror to overwhelm the Old Undying and turn the battle in the Seven Great Holy Lands’ favor.
• The Seven Great Holy Masters activated the Seven Stars Immortal Slaughtering Formation, revealed their generations-long alliance, and slaughtered more than a dozen Old Undying.
• The surviving Life Forbidden Zone cultivators chose to fight to the death, but Jiang Yi killed Yuchi Shanhai, who hinted that Jiang’s plans would fail before dying.

• Xiao Zhan, disguised as the Four-Alike, tried to delay the Yuan Yang World’s self-severed Emperors by sowing discord over who would regain the Emperor Realm.
• The Yuan Yang World figures met Mo Daolin and the others in the sky above the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, and both sides charged Beyond the Heavens to begin another battle.

Mo Daolin and the Seven Great Holy Lands fought the Yuan Yang World’s former Emperors, who discovered that the Cultivation World’s damaged Heavenly Dao prevented them from advancing to Emperorhood. After the Holy Masters fell, Mo Daolin’s seemingly lifeless body transformed and began an unprecedented breakthrough, drawing the attention of the enemy and powerful beings from nearby worlds.

• Jiu Wu was blasted apart, and Jiang Yi used the Seven Stars Immortal Slaughtering Formation to defend the remaining Quasi-Emperors.
• Xiao Zhan revealed himself as the Four-Alike, destroyed an enemy’s Divine Sense body, and seized the Devouring Heaven Gourd.

• Mo Daolin sent Su Muxue and Xiao Zhan away with the Imperial Weapons, while he and the other Holy Masters fought on; the Holy Masters died, and Mo Daolin’s body was left seemingly lifeless.
• Mo Daolin’s corpse transformed into a seedlike mass and erupted with life, apparently advancing to Emperorhood despite the damaged Heavenly Dao.
• The Seven-Colored Figures and powerful beings from nearby worlds witnessed Mo Daolin’s transformation, and the former Emperors resolved to seize him and learn how he had broken through.

Mo Daolin used Planting Oneself as a Seed to revive and break through to the Emperor realm, defeating the invaders from the Yuan Yang World before Immortals attacked him for the technique. Meanwhile, the Empress discovered that reincarnation once existed and prepared to leave Kunlun, while Lin Firmament and Zhou Xiaoran returned to Earth to guard it as the ten-year Myriad Realms Abyss period ended.

• Su Muxue, Xiao Zhan, and Sister A'Wu realized that Mo Daolin had revived and become an Emperor through Planting Oneself as a Seed.
• Mo Daolin overwhelmed the seventeen Quasi-Emperors from the Yuan Yang World, and the Six Great Holy Masters helped prevent the survivors from escaping into the Cultivation World.

• The ministers learned that a hostile cultivator with strength above Celestial Platform Third Order was approaching, and all eleven rose to respond.

Lin Firmament returned to Earth, stopped an arrogant outsider from killing Hu Zhipeng, and crushed the foreign cultivators who had shown malice, restoring confidence in Earth's safety. Meanwhile, Qi Zi and Ji Chutong grew strong enough to hunt the First Sequences pursuing them, leaving their enemies shocked and scrambling to form groups.

• An outsider above the Celestial Platform Third Order destroyed the Dragon Nine Bureau Registration Hall after Hu Zhipeng tried to make him follow the rules, then prepared to kill him.
• Lin Firmament appeared, killed the attacker, and made malicious foreign cultivators across the country explode into fireworks while letting others live to spread the warning.

After ten years in the Myriad Realms Abyss, Qi Zi and Ji Chutong returned as Red Dust Immortals, drawing the attention of powerful beings across the Myriad Realms. They arrived just as Mo Daolin was killed by three Red Dust Immortals, and Qi Zi began reversing time around them.

• Qi Zi and Ji Chutong hunted down First Sequence cultivators in the Myriad Realms Abyss, eventually slaughtering an eight-thousand-man group before the ten-year period ended.
• The two returned with Su Ye, Zou Hu, and Lu Yao, and the sight of their immense power alarmed the Nine Heavenly Palaces and other forces across the Myriad Realms.
• Kidney Deficiency Child and two companions tortured Mo Daolin while cultivators inside the Cultivation World watched helplessly and vowed revenge.

• Qi Zi confronted the three attackers and caused time around them to reverse, leaving the Old Taoist unable to control his body.

Qi Zi reversed time to rescue Mo Daolin, then fought three Red Dust Immortals and killed Kidney Deficiency Child as the Cultivation World’s Heavenly Dao began to recover and reconnect the Immortal Path.
