Chapter Summaries

Gu Yuan and the others reached the Great Thousand World, where its Spiritual Energy began corroding their Dou Qi and destroyed the Heaven Tomb Spaceship’s power array. The ship crashed into Ning Tian Continent, and Xin Region’s leaders sent forces to claim the impact site.

• Gu Yuan spotted a continent ahead as he and Zhu Kun struggled to maintain the Heaven Tomb Spaceship while Source Qi dwindled.
• As the ship neared the Great Thousand World, an unknown energy corroded Gu Yuan’s Dou Qi and Dou God Bloodline until Zhu Kun pulled him into the Heaven Tomb.
• Xiao Yi Xian identified the expelled substance as pure energy rather than poison, while the corrosive energy destroyed the ship’s array.
• The powerless Heaven Tomb Spaceship was drawn down and crashed into Ning Tian Continent, where locals mistook it for a meteorite.
• The Domain Master of Xin Region ordered his elders and disciples to race Lu Region’s forces to the crash site and search for treasures.

Loose Cultivators in Ning Tian Continent discovered the fallen Heaven Tomb and mistook it for a treasure-filled ruin, while Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and the others remained trapped inside. The cultivators broke through the Tomb’s outer shell and gathered before its first-layer spatial seal, unaware that its inhabitants had heard them.

• Loose Cultivators found black stones from the Heaven Tomb, and one young man identified them as Divine Forging Stones before the others mocked him and hurried toward the crater.
• Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan sensed people approaching the Heaven Tomb, while Gu Yuan worried about being stranded in the Great Thousand World and Cai Lin proposed waiting for intruders.
• The Loose Cultivators entered the Heaven Tomb and found a barren island, then smashed away its black outer shell to expose a powerful spatial seal.
• The cultivators concluded that the seal protected a Supreme Secret Treasure and waited for it to disappear, while Cai Lin, Xun Er, and Xiao Yi Xian grew displeased at their intrusion.

After Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion, he used the puppet Xing Tian to defend the Heaven Tomb from cultivators trying to plunder it. Xing Tian devastated the intruders, leaving Xin Changsheng, Lu Tian, and the surviving cultivators terrified by his overwhelming strength.

• Cultivators flocked to the exposed Heaven Tomb, while Xin Changsheng and Lu Tian each feared the other region would claim its treasure and gain a second Supreme.
• Xiao Yi Xian offered to face the intruders, but Cai Lin and Xun Er urged her to wait for Xiao Yan.
• Xiao Yan appeared, explained that Xing Tian could fight without Dou Qi, and sent the puppet out to punish the treasure hunters.
• Xing Tian charged into the approaching cultivators, killing many before Xin Changsheng recognized him as a Sovereign Stage Spirit Puppet.
• Xing Tian stomped the ground and slaughtered more cultivators, leaving the survivors from both regions panicked and unable to resist.

Xiao Yan questioned Qiao Shihong after Xing Tian drove off Xin Changsheng and Lu Tian, learning that they had arrived on the Ning Tian Continent of the Great Thousand World. The group discovered that the world used Spiritual Energy rather than Source Qi, and Xiao Yan sought to learn how its cultivation and power levels worked.

• Xing Tian failed to catch Xin Changsheng and Lu Tian as they fled, so Xiao Yan had him bring the frightened Qiao Shihong into the Heaven Tomb for questioning.
• Qiao Shihong told Xiao Yan that they were on the Ning Tian Continent, between the Xin Region and Lu Region, and identified the energy invading their bodies as Spiritual Energy.
• Qiao Shihong explained that Spiritual Energy assimilated the lower-grade energy from their world, but powerful newcomers would need substantial resources and suitable Cultivation Methods to transform and cultivate effectively.
• Xiao Yan ordered Xing Tian to collect the dead cultivators' belongings, then asked Qiao Shihong how strong Xing Tian was and whether any realm stood above the Sovereign Stage.

Xiao Yan and the others learned the Great Thousand World's cultivation ranks and examined spiritual artifacts and Spirit Skills while investigating why Dou Di had vanished. Qiao Shihong revealed that fifty thousand years ago the Evil God and the Extraterritorial Evil Clan invaded the Great Thousand World, beginning a devastating war that also engulfed countless Lower Planes.

• Qiao Shihong explained that Supreme had nine grades, followed by Earth Supreme and Heaven Supreme, and described the Great Thousand World's cultivation stages and Spirit Skill rankings.
• Xing Tian brought Mustard Seed Bracelets and other relics from the Heaven Tomb, and Qiao Shihong used Spiritual Energy to open the bracelets for Xiao Yan and the others.
• Xiao Yan and his companions examined the Spirit Skills inside and recognized that they needed to learn the Great Thousand World's cultivation foundations.
• Xiao Xuan asked whether anything major had happened in the Great Thousand World fifty thousand years earlier, and Qiao Shihong became visibly terrified.
• Qiao Shihong revealed that the Evil God had led the Extraterritorial Evil Clan in an invasion fifty thousand years ago, devastating the Great Thousand World and countless Lower Planes in a war that lasted a thousand years.

Xiao Yan and his companions learned about the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the Ten Primordial Bodies, then entered the Heaven Tomb’s third level to adapt to Spiritual Energy. Meanwhile, Xin Xiangyang began plotting to seize the tomb after hearing reports of its powerful Spirit Puppet, as rumors of the treasure stirred the Western Realm.

• Qiao Shihong showed Xiao Yan and the others an album recounting the invasion of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the rise and fall of the Ten Primordial Bodies.
• Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Xun Er doubted the album’s praise of the five Ancient God Clans and agreed that they should adapt to Spiritual Energy before acting.
• Xiao Yan led the group, including Qiao Shihong, into the Heaven Tomb’s third level to cultivate spiritual arts and convert some of their dou qi.
• Xin Changsheng reported to Xin Xiangyang that a powerful Spirit Puppet guarded a likely Supreme’s tomb, and Xin Xiangyang sent his token to invite Master Bamboo Leaf.
• Rumors of the tomb and its Spirit Puppet spread through the Western Realm as people anticipated a battle over the Supreme Secret Treasure.

Xiao Yan considered how to adapt Fen Jue and his Strange Flames to the Great Thousand World, then cultivated the first stage of Xiao Potian’s Breaking the Heavens technique to form the embryo of the Dou’s Law Body. He learned that a Reincarnation Six-Leaf Grass was needed to complete it and began piecing together why five Primordial Bodies had been lost.

• Xiao Yan realized Fen Jue needed to devour a Great Thousand World Strange Flame to evolve, while Mao Wu could not sense the complete source of Tou She Ancient God's Flame.
• Xiao Yan began cultivating Breaking the Heavens and understood that the Dou’s Law Body could preserve his Dou Qi and reverse-assimilate Spiritual Energy.
• Xiao Yan poured all his Dou Qi and Qi vortex into the formation, creating the embryo of his Supreme Dharma Body and losing his Dou Qi in the process.
• Xiao Yan learned that Reincarnation Six-Leaf Grass could refine the Dou’s Law Body and that its later layers could reach Earth Supreme and possibly Heaven Supreme strength.
• Xiao Yan inferred that the five surviving Primordial Bodies were tied to the five Ancient God Clans, while the five lost Primordial Bodies had no connection to the Great Thousand World.

Xiao Yan reasoned that the ancient Dou Gods had severed the Dou Qi Continent’s connection to the Great Thousand World to protect it from both the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and the Great Thousand World’s god clans. After emerging from seclusion, he began assessing his group’s resources, but a sudden attack on the Heaven Tomb’s second level interrupted him.

• Xiao Yan deduced that five of the Ten Primordial Bodies had belonged to people from Lower Planes and suspected the ancient Dou Gods had cut off the Dou Qi Continent to shield it from retaliation and interference.
• Xiao Yan set aside his questions about Source Qi and Tou She Ancient God, deciding to focus on finding Heavenly Flames, the Reincarnation Six-Leaf Grass, and money.
• Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion disguised as Yan Tianzun and told Qiao Shihong to call him Venerable Yan.
• Qiao Shihong reported the group’s sorted spoils, explained Spirit Value, and showed Xiao Yan two Medicinal Pills that Xiao Yan judged to be low-grade.
• A rumble revealed that someone was trying to forcibly break through the spatial barrier and enter the Heaven Tomb’s second level.

Xiao Yan watched cultivators explore the assimilated Heavenly Tomb, where its Energy Bodies and relics offered unexpected rewards. When they uncovered the passage to the second level, the five Supremes attacked its guardian Xing Tian, who drove them back with a single punch.

• Xiao Yan observed the Heavenly Tomb’s Energy Bodies use Spiritual Energy and realized the Great Thousand World’s Spiritual Energy might restore the lost spirituality needed to revive Old Ancestor Xiao Xuan.
• Cultivators discovered that Energy Cores could strengthen their cultivation, while younger explorers found relics and supplies left behind in the Heavenly Tomb.
• The Domain Masters debated how to overcome Xing Tian, while Xin Xiangyang waited with Bamboo Leaf for the right moment to act.
• Explorers uncovered the passage to the second level, but their attempts to break through its barrier failed.
• Xing Tian emerged to guard the passage, and the five Supremes attacked him at Xiao Yan’s command.
• Xing Tian’s punch overwhelmed the five Supremes’ combined defense and forced them backward.

Xing Tian killed four of the five Supremes who attacked him, while Lu Ming escaped, but Xin Xiangyang and Zhu Ye then used the Sanfeng Divine Altar to suppress Xing Tian. Zhu Ye stopped Xin Xiangyang from advancing and called on a hidden observer to reveal himself.

• Lu Ming and four other Supremes attacked Xing Tian with their Supreme Dharma Bodies, but Xing Tian tore through space and destroyed their attacks.
• Xing Tian killed Li Huang and three more Supremes, while Lu Ming escaped by detonating his Supreme Dharma Body and using a special divine art.
• A hidden spirit array shook the land around Heaven Tomb, and Xin Xiangyang and Zhu Ye appeared within it as Zhu Ye activated the Sanfeng Divine Altar.
• The divine altar sealed Spiritual Energy and space, then crushed ten thousand miles of Heaven Tomb and suppressed Xing Tian beneath it.
• Xin Xiangyang prepared to head for the second level, but Zhu Ye stopped him and demanded that a hidden observer reveal himself.

Zhu Ye's group discovered that the Heavenly Tomb was inhabited by a powerful man in black robes from a Lower Plane and tried to seize his Plane Embryo. The man in black robes fought back without Spiritual Energy, tearing through Zhu Ye's spirit arrays as the battle continued.

• Zhu Ye revealed that the ruins were absorbing Spiritual Energy, and a black-robed man appeared atop the Sanfeng Divine Altar as the Heavenly Tomb's Energy Bodies fled.
• The man in black robes damaged the Sanfeng Divine Altar with a single physical blow, and Zhu Ye identified him as a powerhouse from a Lower Plane.
• Xin Xiangyang realized Zhu Ye wanted the man's Plane Embryo, and Zhu Ye offered ten million drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid for it.
• The man in black robes attacked Zhu Ye, shattered the spirit array's chains with his control of space, and Zhu Ye summoned the Heaven Grade Qilin Sky-Burning Array.
• The man in black robes caught and tore apart the Flame Qilin, then fought off the countless qilins created by the array with his bare hands and spatial power.

Xiao Yan broke Zhu Ye’s Spirit Arrays with his Dragon Phoenix Blood Qi, defeated him, and stole his stored treasures before killing Xin Xiangyang and letting Xing Tian deal with the remaining invaders. He took Qiao Shihong with him and considered using the Ning Tian Continent as a base for unifying the region.

• Xiao Yan absorbed flames from the Flame Qilins and shattered Zhu Ye’s Heaven Grade Spirit Array with a fiery slash, but Zhu Ye trapped him in the Heaven and Earth Dual Seal.
• Xiao Yan unleashed his Dragon Phoenix Blood Qi, devoured the Spirit Array’s seals, escaped the prison, and seized Zhu Ye by the throat.
• Xiao Yan demanded one hundred million drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, but Zhu Ye used a stored array to escape; Xiao Yan stole his treasures and identified himself as Soul Hall, Venerable Yan.
• Xiao Yan caught and killed Xin Xiangyang, then ordered Xing Tian to eliminate the Great Thousand World invaders as energy bodies swarmed through the Heaven Tomb.
• Xiao Yan took Qiao Shihong with him and said he might use the Ning Tian Continent as a base, though he was in no hurry to unify it.

Xiao Yan’s forces drove the invaders from the Heavenly Tomb, where Xing Tian and the tomb’s Energy Bodies slaughtered nearly everyone who had entered. In the third layer, Xiao Yan helped his companions prepare to adapt to the Great Thousand World and planned to seek Heavenly Flames before taking advantage of the West Realm’s coming chaos.

• Xing Tian and the Heavenly Tomb’s Energy Bodies pursued and massacred the invading cultivators until fewer than a hundred escaped.
• The survivors fled the Heavenly Tomb and warned that the black-robed mysterious man and the tomb were deadly threats.
• Xiao Yan reinforced the third layer’s Space Channel, kept Mao Wu’s power hidden, and explained the Great Thousand World’s Spirit Soul cultivation system to Qiao Shihong.
• Xun Er reported that she had partially converted her energy, and Xiao Yan gave his companions Supreme Spirit Liquid to help them complete the conversion.
• Xiao Yan described his battle with Bamboo Leaf and explained that he needed unrefined Heaven and Earth Strange Flames and a Heavenly Flame Space to advance.
• Zhu Kun proposed using the West Realm’s disorder after its Supremes’ deaths to unite the region.

Xiao Yan and his companions completed their conversion to Spiritual Energy and prepared to explore the Great Thousand World, while Xiao Yan searched for a way to cure Xiao Yi Xian’s Woeful Poison Body. Qiao Shihong presented the Ten Thousand Beasts Record, and Xiao Yan began examining its rankings, ending with a question about the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

• Xiao Yan studied Great Thousand World alchemy and concluded that he could identify and reproduce pills without their formulas.
• Xiao Yan comforted Xiao Yi Xian and considered finding a Supreme Dharma Body that could separate and cultivate her Woeful Poison Body.
• After a month, Xiao Yan’s companions completed their Spiritual Energy conversion; Xiao Yan assessed their Supreme ranks and warned them that they lacked Great Thousand World techniques.
• Xiao Yan led the group out to explore the chaotic Western Realm, where Qiao Shihong gave him the complete Ten Thousand Beasts Record.
• Xiao Yan read the Earth Ranking aloud, noting the Ancient Heavenly Serpent Clan at thirty-third and the Four Symbols excluded from the rankings, then asked what ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking.

Xiao Yan and his companions studied the Ten Thousand Beasts Record to learn how Zhu Kun and Cai Lin might evolve, then left the Heaven Tomb for Western Region City. They entered the bustling city in disguise and began surveying its shops and stalls for intelligence and useful supplies.

• Xiao Yan and the others discovered that the Heavenly Ranking listed Dragon Phoenix first, and Xun Er explained that the title honored a female super Divine Beast born from the dragon and phoenix races’ united prayers during the invasion fifty thousand years earlier.
• Zhu Kun learned that his Ancient Void Dragon Clan could pursue Divine Beast evolution through Ancestral Return toward the True Dragon, while Cai Lin resolved to become the first super Divine Beast of the Snake Clan.
• Xiao Yan, his companions, and Qiao Shihong left the Heaven Tomb and used Space Shifts to reach the outskirts of Western Region City, where they donned black robes to conceal their identities.
• Qiao Shihong introduced the group to the West Commerce Guild and explained how Spirit Gathering Arrays concentrated Spiritual Energy as they explored the crowded city.
• Xiao Yan’s group inspected the city’s street vendors, and Xiao Yan recognized a peddler’s supposed Divine Beast bone and Essence Blood as an ordinary spiritual beast bone containing fake blood.

Xiao Yan learned how the Medicine God Clan and Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie controlled alchemy in the Great Thousand World, then went to the West Commerce Guild to inspect their pills. He began buying from the Medicine God Clan while keeping his plans for the two rival powers to himself.

• Xiao Yan traded seized Spirit Tools for medicinal herbs, pills, and four ancient pill formulas, then learned that the Medicine God Clan and Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie monopolized alchemy inheritances and formulas.
• Xiao Yi Xian asked whether Xiao Yan would join one of the alchemist forces, but Xiao Yan refused to join either or create a rival force.
• Xiao Yan asked Qiao Shihong where to buy pills from both factions, and Qiao Shihong directed the group to the West Commerce Guild.
• Xiao Yan and the others entered the guild, where Xiao Yan heard merchants discussing Zhu Ye's defeat and wondered about the mysterious cube he had taken from him.
• Xiao Yan inspected the Medicine God Clan's pills and ordered one of every kind in the shop.

Xiao Yan bought a broad selection of Medicinal Pills from the Medicine God Clan, including costly Sovereign Stage pills, while the rival Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie watched from across the street. His purchase revealed his immense wealth and left the Medicine God Clan Elder wondering whether Xiao Yan and his companions had come from another realm to seek the legendary Earth Supreme Secret Treasure.

• Xiao Yan asked the Medicine God Clan Elder for one of every kind of Medicinal Pill, and the Elder questioned the unusual request before agreeing.
• The Elder probed whether Xiao Yan wanted Sovereign Stage pills, and Xiao Yan asked for one of each as the Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie shopkeeper observed them.
• Xiao Yan paid thirty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid for Mortal Rank pills and listened as the Elder described several expensive healing, enhancement, and Cultivation Level pills.
• Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan noted the exceptional quality of the Fortune Dew One Star Pill, and Xiao Yan explained how the Great Thousand World’s pills differed from Dou Qi Continent’s alchemy.
• Xiao Yan paid one hundred and five thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid for five Sovereign Stage pills, prompting the Elder to suspect they had come from another realm in search of the Earth Supreme Secret Treasure.

Xiao Yan bought medicinal pills from Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie, including its rare True Spirit Pill, despite Young Emperor You Hao trying to outbid him. After the shopkeeper favored Xiao Yan and You Hao left in anger, Elder Zhao Feng invited Xiao Yan to join Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie.

• Xiao Yan entered Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie and bought one of every medicinal pill, including its True Spirit Pill for one hundred thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid.
• You Hao arrived and offered more for the True Spirit Pill, but the shopkeeper refused to sell it to anyone but Xiao Yan.
• Xiao Yan accepted the pill, paid for the medicines, and received the Mortal Rank pills as a gift from the shopkeeper.
• You Hao left angrily, while Qiao Shihong trembled nearby.
• Zhao Feng introduced himself as an elder of Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie's Zhao Family and invited Xiao Yan to join the organization.

Xiao Yan refused Zhao Feng’s invitation to join Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie after recognizing that it demanded alchemists surrender their inherited techniques and achievements. He returned to the Heaven Tomb to cultivate and study Great Thousand World pills, while his allies investigated plans to take control of Ning Tian Continent; the chapter ended with Soul Hall revealing its influence over the fallen Four Great Regions.

• Xiao Yan declined Zhao Feng’s offer to join Ancient Myriad Herbs Prairie, accepted the Zhao Family’s token, and left the West Commerce Guild with his companions.

• Three days later, two Black Robed Men revealed the Domain Masters’ Divine Tools to former forces of the Four Great Regions and ordered them to choose new Domain Masters under Soul Hall’s authority.

Venerable Gu and Venerable Zhu recruited the defeated Four Great Regions’ elders into Soul Hall, promising them Supreme Pills and support in reclaiming the West Realm. As the elders began breaking through to the Supreme Realm, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun studied the Supreme Sea and its ability to protect a Supreme’s Soul Body.

• Venerable Gu and Venerable Zhu revealed Soul Hall and ordered the elders to establish a West Realm Alliance and reclaim the West Realm.
• Venerable Gu gave Xin Changsheng and the other three Great Elders Medicine God Clan Supreme Pills, warning them that consuming the pills would bind them as Soul Hall Protectors.
• Lu Ming and the other elders swore loyalty to Soul Hall, then consumed their pills and began opening their Supreme Seas.
