Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An escaped Lü Xiao by drawing him into a swarm of powerful insects inside the Three-Eyed White Wolf’s corpse, then hid in the Two-Horned Black Bear’s bones to recover. When he tried to leave, a formidable being inside the bear’s bones locked onto him.

• Jiang Ping An used his Primordial Dao Domain to redirect Lü Xiao’s sword qi into a cavity in the Three-Eyed White Wolf’s bones, awakening a Sixth-Order insect.
• The insect attacked Jiang Ping An and Lü Xiao, and Lü Xiao sent an incarnation to hold it off while continuing his pursuit.
• Jiang Ping An unleashed his killing intent, rousing a vast Insectoid Race colony from the wolf’s corpse and forcing Lü Xiao to flee under attack.
• Jiang Ping An escaped to the Two-Horned Black Bear’s bones, hid from the powerful presence within, and recovered his Primordial Qi.
• Jiang Ping An emerged to leave the area, but the presence inside the bear’s bones locked onto him with its divine sense.

Jiang Ping An was summoned by the Black-Haired Toad, a Seventh Level God King, and ordered to help break the shield protecting the Barbaric Bear’s Origin Divine Spark. He began the task under threat, with the promise of a one-percent share if the toad obtained the divine spark.

• The Black-Haired Toad summoned Jiang Ping An, who returned to the Two-Horned Black Bear’s remains and met it beneath the swamp.
• The toad explained that Jiang Ping An’s Primordial Dao Domain could help it enter the black palace sealed inside the bear’s inner world.
• The Black-Haired Toad brought Jiang Ping An to the palace and revealed that a crimson shield protected the Barbaric Bear’s Origin Divine Spark.
• The toad explained that the shield absorbed other attacks but could be weakened by Jiang Ping An’s Dao Domain, then gave him resources to sustain the work.
• Jiang Ping An agreed to keep attacking the shield after the toad promised him one percent of the Origin Divine Spark.

Jiang Ping An was forced by the Black-Haired Toad to weaken the Crimson Barrier while secretly searching for a way to survive. Elsewhere, Lü Xiao abandoned his hunt for Jiang Ping An, and Bai Jingqiu reunited with Lan Shi'er by talisman as she struggled to explain what had happened.

• The Black-Haired Toad ordered Jiang Ping An to break the Crimson Barrier, and he weakened it with his Primordial Dao Domain before replenishing his divine power with pills.
• Jiang Ping An suspected the Black-Haired Toad intended to kill him after the barrier fell, so he delayed, concealed his Devouring Power, and continued strengthening himself in his inner world.
• Lü Xiao escaped the Insectoid Race army, lied to his employer that Jiang Ping An was dead, and then admitted he would abandon the mission and seek help to claim the two Ninth Level God King skeletons.
• Lan Shi'er contacted Bai Jingqiu and warned her that the report of her being attacked was false and likely bait.
• Bai Jingqiu told Lan Shi'er she was sorry and called herself useless.

Jiang Ping An remained trapped in the Barbaric Bear’s inner world, forced to weaken the Crimson Barrier while cultivating. When Lü Xiao returned with three Seventh Level God Kings to claim the corpses, the Black-Haired Toad emerged to defend them, and a battle was about to begin.

• Bai Jingqiu told Lan Shi'er that Jiang Ping An had escaped immediate death but was still in danger, so Lan Shi'er ordered a search of the Eternal Sleep Swamp.
• Jiang Ping An spent more than ten years weakening the Crimson Barrier and cultivating while the Black-Haired Toad watched over him and supplied the resources he needed.
• Lü Xiao returned with his uncle Lü Heng Gong, but they fled after discovering a Seventh Level Queen Insect inside the Three-eyed Wolf’s corpse.
• After several more years, Lü Heng Gong returned with two Seventh Level God King allies to seize the corpses of the Barbaric Bear and Three-eyed Wolf.
• The Queen Insect called for the Black-Haired Toad’s help, and the toad confronted the three humans as the five Seventh Level God Kings prepared to fight.

Lü Heng Gong and two Seventh Level God Kings unleashed powerful trump cards against the Queen Insect and the Black-Haired Toad, but the demons survived with their own damaged King Tier Nine treasures. Jiang Ping An escaped from the Barbaric Bear's inner world during the clash, while the human God Kings withdrew and the Queen Insect noticed someone had fled the toad's domain.

• The Black-Haired Toad's Avatar warned Jiang Ping An to restore his Primordial Qi as the battle between the demons and three human God Kings dragged on.
• Lü Heng Gong and his companions used a King Tier Nine weapon fragment, a Golden Staff, and a mirrored copy of the staff to attack the Queen Insect and the Black-Haired Toad.
• The Queen Insect protected herself with a damaged King Tier Nine Formation Banner, and the Black-Haired Toad shielded his true body with a broken divine shield.
• Jiang Ping An waited for the shock waves to fade, broke out of the Barbaric Bear's inner world, and fled while the Black-Haired Toad survived the attack.
• Lü Heng Gong and the other human God Kings withdrew after exhausting their strength, and the Queen Insect asked the Black-Haired Toad who had just escaped his domain.

Jiang Ping An escaped the Eternal Sleep Swamp with his Yin Yang Dao Body, but the Black-Haired Toad captured his Primordial Body, leaving him five thousand years to find a way to save it. After Tuanzi reached him through the God Sound Talisman, Jiang Ping An reunited with Tuanzi, Lan Shi'er, Bai Jingqiu, and Little Lion in a city outside the swamp.

• 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.
• Jiang Ping An realized that the Black-Haired Toad would kill his Primordial Body once the Crimson Barrier broke and resolved to rescue it within five thousand years.
• Tuanzi contacted Jiang Ping An through the God Sound Talisman, and Lan Shi'er and Bai Jingqiu learned that he was safe.
• Jiang Ping An met Tuanzi, Lan Shi'er, Bai Jingqiu, and Little Lion at an inn in a city outside the Eternal Sleep Swamp.
• Lan Shi'er embraced Jiang Ping An, Tuanzi burrowed into his sleeve, and Little Lion pretended to mourn while eating roasted meat.

Jiang Ping An decided to seek Demon Illusion Fairy’s help rescuing his trapped clone from a Seventh Level God King. When he visited her residence, their request for help turned into a confrontation after Demon Illusion Fairy recognized Bai Jingqiu as a member of the Bai Family.

• During a meal, Jiang Ping An told Bai Jingqiu and Lan Shi'er that his other body was trapped by a Seventh Level God King, and Tuanzi offered to sneak in and rescue it.
• Jiang Ping An agreed that finding an expert to help was safer and named Demon Illusion Fairy as a possible ally.
• At the National Teacher's Residence, Demon Illusion Fairy learned that Jiang Ping An had arrived and briefly fled before deciding to confront him on her own grounds.
• Jiang Ping An offered to forgive the essence blood she owed him if she helped, but Demon Illusion Fairy demanded that he lick her foot first.
• Demon Illusion Fairy recognized Bai Jingqiu, attacked her with a White Whip, and accused her of being a Bai Family member.

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.
• Tuanzi assured Jiang Ping An that assessing the land for divine herb cultivation would not exploit heavenly secrets or bring karmic retribution.

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.
• The Eternal Pirates surrounded Dark Night City, and Clan Leader Xie Zhenhai led the Abyssal Spirit Crab Race out to surrender.
• Lü Biao and the Eternal Pirates attacked the Spirit Crab Race anyway, and their three Fifth-Order God Kings overwhelmed Xie Zhenhai.
• Demon Illusion Fairy arrived and claimed Dark Night City, while Bai Jingqiu sealed Lü Biao's Axe Intent.
• 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.

• Lü Biao could not locate Jiang Ping An and ordered the pirates to retreat as his manifestation dimmed and his divine power drained.
• 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.
• Xie Zhenhai advised Demon Illusion Fairy to occupy only a few key locations, but Jiang Ping An insisted they claim all the former Eternal Pirates’ territory.
• 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.
