• The Black-Haired Toad caught Jiang Ping An's Primordial Body and forced it back into the Barbaric Bear's inner world, while Jiang Ping An's Yin Yang Dao Body escaped using Shadow Dodge.

The chapter ended with Lan Shi’er urging Jiang Ping An to leave and seek another way to save his friend.

• Demon Illusion Fairy attacked Bai Jingqiu, but Bai Jingqiu caught her Ice Whip and revealed her God King Fifth Level cultivation; Jiang Ping An negotiated a settlement by promising a King-level Fifth-Order top-grade Divine Weapon.
• Demon Illusion Fairy agreed to help Jiang Ping An find someone to rescue his trapped friend, provided he first helped her compete for the National Teacher’s personal discipleship.
• Demon Illusion Fairy explained that she had to seize territory in the former Electric Eel Demon Race lands, competing against two fellow disciples who were both God King Sixth Level experts.
• Lan Shi’er and Little Lion questioned the fairness and prospects of the contest, and Lan Shi’er urged Jiang Ping An to leave and find another way to save his friend.

Jiang Ping An agreed to help Demon Illusion Fairy pursue the Fengyun Kingdom National Teacher's inheritance, hoping to use her influence to rescue his trapped Primordial Body. As they planned to claim territory in the former Electric Eel Demon Race lands, Tuanzi identified a region suited for growing divine herbs and explained that using its geomancy would not incur karmic retribution.

• Jiang Ping An agreed to help Demon Illusion Fairy attempt the inheritance assessment, which had already been underway for nearly two hundred years.
• Jiang Ping An, Demon Illusion Fairy, Lan Shi'er, Bai Jingqiu, and Tuanzi set out for the former Electric Eel Demon Race territory after he bought updated intelligence.
• The group examined a map of the contested territory, and Demon Illusion Fairy proposed a remote area while Jiang Ping An argued that their base needed abundant resources.
• Tuanzi pointed out a region it said was suitable for planting divine herbs, prompting Jiang Ping An to take its geomancy ability seriously.

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy arrived in Dark Night City, where the Eternal Pirates were attacking the Abyssal Spirit Crab Race. Demon Illusion Fairy intervened and offered to save the clan if it submitted to her, as the confrontation with the pirates continued.

• Jiang Ping An chose the region Tuanzi had recommended, and he and Demon Illusion Fairy traveled to Dark Night City through a Teleportation Array.

• Demon Illusion Fairy offered to save the Spirit Crab Race if it submitted to her and continued managing the city in exchange for half its profits.
• Lü Biao threatened Demon Illusion Fairy and Bai Jingqiu as the standoff continued.

Jiang Ping An and his allies forced Xie Zhenhai to submit, then fought Lü Biao’s pirates when they tried to retreat. Jiang Ping An battled Lü Biao with Little Lion as a weapon, but after Lü Biao summoned a Divine Eagle Phantom and drove him into the sea, Tuanzi explained that Jiang Ping An was concealing his other abilities to avoid revealing himself to a hidden enemy.

• Demon Illusion Fairy demanded Xie Zhenhai’s submission, and Xie Zhenhai agreed.
• Demon Illusion Fairy sent Bai Jingqiu and Jiang Ping An to attack the pirates, while Lü Biao ordered his forces to retreat.
• Jiang Ping An wielded Little Lion against Lü Biao, and Little Lion vomited food onto Lü Biao before helping smash his hand and swallow his Divine Axe.
• Lü Biao summoned a Divine Eagle Phantom, overpowered Jiang Ping An’s defense, and battered him into the seabed.
• Tuanzi explained that Jiang Ping An was holding back to avoid exposing his abilities to the hidden enemy who had hired a Sixth Level God King to ambush him.

Jiang Ping An appeared to be losing his battle with Lü Biao, but he used a new technique called the Light Shadow Art to attack invisibly and drain Lü Biao’s strength. Lü Biao ordered a retreat, but Jiang Ping An’s relentless assault left the pirates unable to withdraw safely.

• Demon Illusion Fairy and Tuanzi argued over whether Jiang Ping An could win without revealing his identity, while Jiang Ping An was forced onto the defensive against Lü Biao.
• Bai Jingqiu told Jiang Ping An to hold off his opponent while she finished fighting another Fifth Level God King, and Xie Zhenhai urged Demon Illusion Fairy to let the pirates leave.

• Jiang Ping An revealed that he had reversed the Shadow Kill Technique through Yin Yang Power, creating the Light Shadow Art, and continued attacking at high speed while Little Lion lay unconscious.

Jiang Ping An and his allies defeated the Eternal Pirates, though Lü Biao and one of his men escaped. In Dark Night City, Jiang Ping An urged Demon Illusion Fairy to claim all of the pirates’ territory and reveal her connection to the Fengyun Kingdom’s National Teacher, but she doubted they had the strength to expand quickly.

• Jiang Ping An overwhelmed Lü Biao, who escaped through one of many spatial passages, while another Eternal Pirate fled with a Teleportation Talisman.
• Jiang Ping An helped Bai Jingqiu kill the remaining trapped God King, and Demon Illusion Fairy persuaded the pirates to surrender.
• Xie Zhenhai thanked Demon Illusion Fairy and pledged to serve her, then joined her group to discuss Dark Night City’s future.

• Jiang Ping An urged Demon Illusion Fairy to announce that she was a disciple of the Fengyun Kingdom’s National Teacher, warning that she needed to expand before her Senior Brothers and their families could interfere.
• Demon Illusion Fairy questioned how they could expand quickly with too few people and too little strength.

Jiang Ping An learned that Dark Night City had a garden of immature Dark Night Divine Flowers and planned to use them to recruit powerful experts. He went alone to the garden, where he destroyed a surveillance pillar before preparing to work on the plants in secret.

• Xie Zhenhai explained that Dark Night City once grew the rare Dark Night Divine Flower, while Bai Jingqiu described its extreme growing requirements and long maturation time.
• Xie Zhenhai revealed that five thousand immature flowers remained in a Medicine Garden beneath Dark Night City, though they needed hundreds of thousands of years to mature naturally.
• Jiang Ping An announced that he would recruit experts at God King Third Level and above by promising them a Dark Night Divine Flower, claiming he could accelerate the plants' growth with a secret technique.
• Jiang Ping An left the city administration to Demon Illusion Fairy and traveled alone to the Medicine Garden through the City Lord's Mansion Teleportation Array.
• Jiang Ping An counted the flowers and destroyed a stone pillar that could monitor the garden, determined to keep his secret from being discovered.

Jiang Ping An strengthened Dark Night Divine Flowers and tested one, discovering that his already-enhanced talent left him with almost no benefit. Meanwhile, Demon Illusion Fairy’s recruitment drive in Dark Night City failed, and she asked Jiang Ping An for another plan.

• Jiang Ping An used the Heaven Mending Art three times to make a Dark Night Divine Flower bloom with seven petals and produce a seed.
• Jiang Ping An strengthened the flower six times, ate it, and found that its effect on his talent was negligible because the Heaven Mending Art had already strengthened him to his limit.
• Demon Illusion Fairy had Xie Zhenhai seize the Eternal Pirates’ former territory and announced that God King Third Level experts who pledged allegiance to Dark Night City would receive a Dark Night Divine Flower.
• Months passed without any God Kings joining, leaving Demon Illusion Fairy discouraged and arguing with Bai Jingqiu about Jiang Ping An.
• Jiang Ping An contacted them through a God Sound Talisman, and Demon Illusion Fairy asked whether he had another plan or a way to gain resources from Dark Night City.

Jiang Ping An revealed that he had accelerated a Dark Night Divine Flower’s growth and gave it to Bai Jingqiu. He ordered Demon Illusion Fairy to use the flowers to recruit nearby factions, while rejecting her attempt to get him to accelerate her own growth.

• Jiang Ping An told Demon Illusion Fairy to invite nearby faction leaders to Dark Night City to discuss buying Dark Night Divine Flowers, and she suspected he planned to ambush them.
• Jiang Ping An entered the room and denied wanting to attack factions that had not provoked them.
• Jiang Ping An produced a Dark Night Divine Flower, and Bai Jingqiu recognized it by its seven petals.
• Jiang Ping An gave the flower to Bai Jingqiu and ordered Demon Illusion Fairy to offer flowers to factions that joined them, or hold an auction if no one came.
• Demon Illusion Fairy clung to Jiang Ping An and asked him to use his growth technique on her, but he refused and left to prepare more flowers.
• Jiang Ping An told Demon Illusion Fairy that Dark Night City’s harvested resources should be supplied to him first so he could fuel his technique.

After nearby factions ignored Dark Night City’s invitation to cooperate, Demon Illusion Fairy arranged an auction to prove the city truly possessed Dark Night Divine Flowers. Skeptical buyers began traveling to Dark Night City, leaving the planned auction ahead.

• After Jiang Ping An left, Demon Illusion Fairy and Bai Jingqiu quarreled, and Demon Illusion Fairy later asked the Spirit Crab Clan Leader to invite nearby factions to discuss cooperation.
• Luo Jingce rejected Dark Night City’s invitation, ordered the Azure Sea Saint Palace to avoid contact with the city, and strengthened efforts to attract settlers and compete with neighboring factions.
• None of the invited factions responded, so Demon Illusion Fairy told Xie Zhenhai that Dark Night City would auction the Dark Night Divine Flowers instead.
• The Spirit Crab Clan spread news that Dark Night City would auction ten Dark Night Divine Flowers, and many skeptical living beings set out for the city to see whether the flowers were real.

Dark Night City auctioned ten seven-petaled Dark Night Divine Flowers, drawing God Kings eager to join the city. As Demon Illusion Fairy planned to expand her forces, Luo Jingce spread a false rumor about her possessing a medicine-accelerating Divine Art to encourage others to target her.

• A maid presented a seven-petaled Dark Night Divine Flower, and the auction drew a crowd of bidders who delayed the event to gather funds.
• Demon Illusion Fairy and Bai Jingqiu watched the auction, while Demon Illusion Fairy refused visits from nearby powers and argued with Bai Jingqiu.
• Luo Jingce learned that Dark Night City had auctioned ten top-grade flowers and ordered a subordinate to spread a rumor that Demon Illusion Fairy could accelerate the growth of any divine medicine.
• News of the flowers spread, and God Kings flocked to Dark Night City to apply for membership.
• Demon Illusion Fairy asked Jiang Ping An about his supply of flowers, and he advised her to make recruits serve for a few hundred years before giving them one.
• Demon Illusion Fairy decided to expand into territory held by pirates after Jiang Ping An warned her not to attack powers with whom they had no grudge.

Jiang Ping An helped Dark Night City grow while cultivating, but a rumor that Demon Illusion Fairy could accelerate divine medicine growth drew dangerous attention. After a hidden traitor’s ambushes stalled the city’s expansion and threatened Demon Illusion Fairy’s assessment, Jiang Ping An offered to help uncover them.

• Demon Illusion Fairy recruited God Kings and smaller factions, expanded Dark Night City’s territory, and awarded Dark Night Divine Flowers while Jiang Ping An cultivated and accelerated the flowers’ growth.
• A rumor claimed Demon Illusion Fairy possessed a Divine Art that could accelerate all divine medicines, making her fear abduction by powerful outsiders.
• Demon Illusion Fairy demanded Jiang Ping An use his secret art on her, but he refused and left her Dark Night Divine Flowers instead.
• Several hundred years later, Dark Night City had become a major faction, but repeated pirate ambushes caused heavy losses and suggested a traitor had infiltrated its ranks.
• With half the assessment period gone and Dark Night City’s expansion stalled, Jiang Ping An visited Demon Illusion Fairy and offered to help find the traitor, though she doubted he could help.

Jiang Ping An had Demon Illusion Fairy gather Dark Night City's leaders so he could search for the traitor, and he uncovered that Wu Guanzi was actually Lü Biao, the former Eternal Pirates leader. He then interrupted the meeting and asked He Xiufeng to open his Dao Domain.

• Demon Illusion Fairy shared her suspicions about Xie Zhenhai, He Xiufeng, Tang Weiyu, and Wu Guanzi, while Jiang Ping An dismissed her reasoning about the Spirit Crab Clan.
• Demon Illusion Fairy summoned Dark Night City's leaders and offered each of them a Dark Night Divine Flower as compensation for their losses.
• Jiang Ping An observed the gathered leaders as Demon Illusion Fairy discussed the city's development.
• Wu Guanzi thought about his plan to capture Demon Illusion Fairy and kill Jiang Ping An, and the chapter revealed he was Lü Biao, the former leader of the Eternal Pirates who had infiltrated Dark Night City.
• Jiang Ping An asked He Xiufeng to open his Dao Domain, shocking the assembled leaders.

Jiang Ping An publicly attacked Wu Guanzi after sensing his murderous intent, while Demon Illusion Fairy had He Xiufeng restrain the meeting room with his Gravity Dao Domain. As the God Kings demanded evidence and questioned the attack, Jiang Ping An began extracting something from Wu Guanzi’s brow, and He Xiufeng prepared to withdraw his Dao Domain before a sudden change occurred.

• Lü Biao, disguised as Wu Guanzi, tried to turn Demon Illusion Fairy against Jiang Ping An, but she asked He Xiufeng to cover the meeting room with his Gravity Dao Domain.
• Jiang Ping An walked through the crushing gravity, seized Wu Guanzi, and used the Life Devouring Art to drain his divine power and life force.
• Jiang Ping An said he had sensed Wu Guanzi’s killing intent, but Lü Biao denied being a mole and swore an oath to prove his loyalty.
• Demon Illusion Fairy and the other God Kings hesitated over Jiang Ping An’s lack of evidence as they urged him to justify his attack.
• Jiang Ping An placed his palm against Wu Guanzi’s brow and used a Black Hole vortex to extract something, while He Xiufeng began to consider withdrawing his Dao Domain.

Jiang Ping An exposed Lü Biao as the mole in Dark Night City and killed him, then learned from his memories that Lü Xiao and a powerful Seventh Level God King protected the Lü Clan. Dark Night City’s campaign against the Pirate Alliance prospered, while Demon Illusion Fairy’s senior martial brothers mistakenly believed she had deliberately deceived them in the First Trial.

• Jiang Ping An used Devouring Power to remove Lü Biao’s aura-concealing Mystic Treasure, revealing him as the Eternal Pirates’ leader and Dark Night City’s mole.
• Lü Biao claimed to be Lü Xiao’s son, so Jiang Ping An killed him, collected his belongings, and left the God Kings to resume their campaign against the Pirate Alliance.
• Demon Illusion Fairy ordered the God Kings to keep Lü Biao’s identity secret and launched a surprise attack on the Pirate Alliance.
• Jiang Ping An read Lü Biao’s memories and learned that Lü Xiao had a Seventh Level God King relative with influence in the Fengyun Kingdom, then returned to cultivation.
• With the mole gone, Dark Night City captured more territory, attracted God Kings seeking Dark Night Divine Flowers, and grew stronger.
• Lu Zhixing heard about Dark Night City’s rapid expansion and concluded that Demon Illusion Fairy had tricked her senior martial brothers by pretending to withdraw from the First Trial.

Demon Illusion Fairy advanced to the final trial after Si Xingxuan disqualified Xu Hao for his family's use of a Seventh Level God King. Si Xingxuan announced that she and Lu Zhixing would compete in a three-hundred-year reputation test, while he privately reflected on his dwindling lifespan and the role of an unknown variable in her rise.

• Si Xingxuan ranked Xu Hao, Lu Zhixing, and Demon Illusion Fairy by territory, then revealed that Xu Hao's family had violated the assessment rules by involving a Seventh Level God King.
• Si Xingxuan stripped Xu Hao of his qualification and advanced Lu Zhixing and Demon Illusion Fairy to the final trial, which would measure their reputations over three hundred years.
• Si Xingxuan ordered Fengyun Kingdom's troops to clear rival forces from the regions around the disciples' territories and reflected that Demon Illusion Fairy's rise had helped cause Xu Hao's downfall.
• Si Xingxuan chose not to deduce the cause of Demon Illusion Fairy's reversal, removed Xu Hao's bone tablet, and worried that he might die before his inheritor matured.
• Demon Illusion Fairy celebrated passing the trial, argued with Bai Jingqiu, and contacted Jiang Ping An, who immediately asked about the next assessment.

Demon Illusion Fairy struggled to raise her fame for the National Teacher’s Second Trial while Lu Zhixing and his family launched a publicity campaign that made him increasingly difficult to surpass. Jiang Ping An studied the dangerous Karmic Fire Nirvana technique, and Demon Illusion Fairy ended the chapter feeling unable to compete with her senior brother.

• Demon Illusion Fairy asked Jiang Ping An how to raise her fame, and he suggested defeating stronger opponents, challenging sect prodigies, or learning difficult Divine Arts.
• Jiang Ping An began studying Karmic Fire Nirvana and used the Lord of Order’s Origin Fragment to alter the Karmic Fire’s rules during cultivation.
• Demon Illusion Fairy checked the Intelligence Division’s information prices and learned that information about Lu Zhixing was worth five times as much as hers, while Jiang Ping An’s was worth twice hers.
• Lu Zhixing and his family spread sensational stories about him, including an announcement that he planned to marry the male Clan Leader of the Black Fishfolk.
• The Intelligence Division raised Lu Zhixing’s information price as his publicity campaign widened the gap between his fame and Demon Illusion Fairy’s.
• Demon Illusion Fairy concluded that she could not outspend or outshine Lu Zhixing and slumped into despair.

Lu Zhixing widened his fame lead over Demon Illusion Fairy, while she and Bai Jingqiu worried that she could not win the trial or summon help for Jiang Ping An's rescue plan. Jiang Ping An appeared with a risky way to raise her fame and asked whether she would reveal her talent.

• Lu Zhixing defeated a renowned Sword God and took comfort in his fame advantage over Demon Illusion Fairy.
• Bai Jingqiu interrupted Demon Illusion Fairy's cultivation and urged her to find a way to surpass Lu Zhixing.
• Demon Illusion Fairy offered to ask her master, the National Teacher, to help rescue the Primordial Body, but Bai Jingqiu refused because Jiang Ping An feared the National Teacher might kill everyone to conceal the treasures in Eternal Sleep Swamp.
• Demon Illusion Fairy explained that she could not summon a Seventh Level God King before becoming the direct lineage inheritor, leaving both women discouraged.
• Jiang Ping An appeared at the tea table and asked whether Demon Illusion Fairy would expose her talent for a chance to win the trial.

Jiang Ping An proposed using his secret art to strengthen Demon Illusion Fairy and help her earn the National Teacher’s direct-disciple status. She agreed to let him seal her soul, and he began the process, leaving her trapped before a Giant Eye.

• Jiang Ping An suggested that Demon Illusion Fairy build fame by appearing to guide him, but she doubted it would help much.
• Jiang Ping An offered to use his secret art to quadruple her talent and help her become a direct disciple of Fengyun Kingdom’s National Teacher.
• Demon Illusion Fairy feared he might control her while her soul was sealed, but agreed to take the risk for the inheritance and status.
• Jiang Ping An separated Demon Illusion Fairy’s soul from her body, leaving her unable to move or sense what was happening outside.
• Demon Illusion Fairy faced a Giant Eye filled with Soul Might and realized Jiang Ping An’s strength far exceeded her expectations.

Jiang Ping An used the Heaven Mending Art to increase Demon Illusion Fairy’s talent fourfold, and she later gained renown by killing a Fifth-Order God King. As her fame surpassed Lu Zhixing’s, the Lu Family ordered a campaign to discredit her achievement and protect Lu Zhixing’s chance to inherit the National Teacher’s legacy.

• Demon Illusion Fairy awakened in her Cultivation Room and discovered that her body, divine soul, and affinity with the rules of heaven and earth had all increased fourfold.
• Jiang Ping An warned Demon Illusion Fairy to consolidate her new talent, then left after she boasted that she would defeat him; she later found that he had taken some of her essence blood.
• In the one hundred fiftieth year of the Second Trial, Demon Illusion Fairy fought a Fifth-Order God King for three months and made him admit defeat, though rumors claimed he had surrendered to avoid angering Fengyun Kingdom.
• Thirty years later, Demon Illusion Fairy drove a Fifth-Order God King pirate leader away, and eighty years after that, she found and killed him, shaking the Chaos Sea.
• Demon Illusion Fairy’s fame surpassed Lu Zhixing’s, so the Lu Family ordered rumors spread that her victory was false.

After Demon Illusion Fairy’s victory earned her the chance to become Si Xingxuan’s direct disciple, Jiang Ping An accompanied her to Fengyun Kingdom while preparing to rescue the Primordial Body. As the imperial celebration began, Si Xingxuan appeared before Jiang Ping An and revealed that he knew Jiang had noticed him.

• News of Demon Illusion Fairy killing a Fifth-Order God King spread across the Chaos Sea, and Lu Zhixing withdrew from the trial after learning of her strength.
• Demon Illusion Fairy agreed to return to Fengyun Kingdom with Jiang Ping An and help him rescue his friend from Eternal Sleep Swamp; Jiang gave her mature Dark Night Divine Flowers before leaving Dark Night City.
• Jiang Ping An left Lan Shi'er and Bai Jingqiu behind and brought Tuanzi and Little Lion along for the dangerous rescue, despite Little Lion trying to avoid helping.
• After two years of waiting in the imperial city, Demon Illusion Fairy prepared for Si Xingxuan’s public announcement of his direct disciple, while Jiang Ping An sent Tuanzi and Little Lion away to buy Teleportation Talismans.
• Si Xingxuan appeared before Jiang Ping An and said that Jiang had noticed him earlier and had deliberately sent the two little ones away.

Fengyun Kingdom’s National Teacher Si Xingxuan visited Jiang Ping An, explained that Demon Illusion Fairy’s place as his heir was tied to fate and causality, and asked Jiang to join the kingdom. Jiang refused, while Si Xingxuan left troubled by the strange causal thread surrounding him.

• Si Xingxuan recognized Jiang Ping An by his mannerisms and explained that Demon Illusion Fairy had passed his trials with Jiang’s hidden help.
• Si Xingxuan revealed that the trials tested fortune and that Demon Illusion Fairy had been chosen as his heir by causality.
• Si Xingxuan said he was nearing death and asked Jiang to join Fengyun Kingdom so he could assist Demon Illusion Fairy, but Jiang refused.
• Si Xingxuan left, and Jiang returned to cultivating without understanding the visit.
• Back at the National Teacher’s Residence, Si Xingxuan wondered why Jiang remained alive despite having a causal thread that seemed to belong to someone already dead.

Si Xingxuan’s divination showed Jiang Ping An as a dead man, but he stopped before probing further. After Demon Illusion Fairy returned, she arranged two Seventh Level God King helpers to help Jiang Ping An rescue the Primordial Body, then watched him leave and faced the loneliness of his absence.

• Si Xingxuan divined that Jiang Ping An was dead and feared that probing the immense karma behind the result could kill him.
• After the succession ceremony, Demon Illusion Fairy returned and told Jiang Ping An that her master’s two Seventh Level God King subordinates, Wen Qi and He Yue Wan, had agreed to help.
• Demon Illusion Fairy revealed that she had told potential suitors they would have to defeat Jiang Ping An to win her favor, and warned him not to show his face in Fengyun Kingdom.
• Wen Qi and He Yue Wan agreed to hold back the two Seventh Level God King beasts in Eternal Sleep Swamp for an hour while Jiang Ping An rescued the Primordial Body.
• Jiang Ping An departed with Wen Qi, He Yue Wan, Tuanzi, and Little Lion, while Demon Illusion Fairy remained behind and resolved to cultivate until she could suppress him.
