Chapter Summaries

Fu Yang and the Divine Ruins Holy Land powerhouses learned that Jiang Ping An’s fortune foretold an unavoidable calamity, though he would not bring disaster to the Holy Land. As they left his fate to the upper echelon, Jiang Ping An continued enduring Qu Ji’s sword attacks and adapted to their law-based damage.

• Jiang Ping An endured Qu Ji’s Sword Qi for an hour, and his body adapted to law-based attacks, reducing their damage by eighty percent.

Jiang Ping An adapted to the projections’ law attacks and advanced through the newcomer assessment as the Divine Ruins Holy Land’s authorities ordered his fate and information sealed. While the other newcomers compared their results, Jiang Ping An was still struggling through the increasingly difficult rounds, and Demon Illusion Fairy asked how he had done.

• Jiang Ping An used his Primordial Dharma Form and Invincible Belief to defeat the fiftieth-round projection, then continued winning as his body adapted to law-based attacks.

• Jiang Ping An endured a brutal fight and defeated Qu Ji’s projection in the seventy-fourth match by striking its brow as it pierced his own.
• After resting and restoring his Soul Force, Jiang Ping An began the seventy-fifth match and was instantly killed by an unseen Sword Qi attack.
• Unable to work out how the attack had struck him, Jiang Ping An left the assessment platform and flew to Galaxy Lake to find Qu Ji.
• Jiang Ping An waited several days before asking Qu Ji how his projection had used the invisible attack.
• Qu Ji opened his eyes, surprised that Jiang Ping An had reached seventy-five percent of his strength and wondering why someone so talented was working as a servant.

Jiang Ping An learned how Qu Ji made attacks disappear and tried to imitate the technique, but his speed and control were insufficient. He checked the Newcomer Assessment results, won first place and valuable rewards, then wondered why no Holy Land powerhouse had taken him as a disciple.

• Qu Ji explained that he made attacks invisible by dispersing them and condensing them again at the moment of impact.
• Jiang Ping An tried the technique repeatedly, but his attacks were too weak or too slow, and Qu Ji said it suited cultivators who specialized in speed.
• Jiang Ping An thanked Qu Ji and returned to the Phantom Spirit Cultivation Platform, reflecting on whether a speed-type Divine Art could help him.
• Jiang Ping An checked the results and received five billion Holy Land Coins and unrestricted access to books on the Original Rules for placing first in the Ninth Level God King stage and first overall.
• Jiang Ping An realized the Holy Land's upper echelons had noticed him, yet no powerhouse had offered to take him as a disciple.

Jiang Ping An planned to improve his body and soul after placing first in the Newcomer Assessment, then went to the Law Enforcement Hall to seek more whipping punishment. The guards took him inside after his Soul Disorder Art made them furious.

• Jiang Ping An resolved to pursue excellent results in the next two Newcomer Assessments and earn the Holy Land Baptism, while focusing on strengthening his body and soul.
• He sent an Avatar to practice the Soul Disorder Art, traveled to Star Brilliance City, and bought ten bottles of Nourishing Soul Liquid and two Teleportation Platforms.
• Jiang Ping An rented a courtyard near the Law Enforcement Hall and asked its guards to give him whipping punishment.
• When the guards refused to believe him, Jiang Ping An cuffed himself after learning that obstructing official duties brought ten lashes.
• Jiang Ping An used the Soul Disorder Art to stir the guards' anger, and they escorted him into the Law Enforcement Hall for punishment.

Jiang Ping An deliberately sought the Law Enforcement Hall’s whipping punishment to temper his body, surprising Yang Shuangsu and the other enforcers with his endurance and powerful blood energy. Yang Shuangsu released him and pointed him toward the Star Body Forging Hall, where he could continue training without wasting the Law Enforcement Hall’s time.

• Yang Shuangsu recognized Jiang Ping An, who had been brought in for obstructing official business by requesting whipping punishment.
• Jiang Ping An asked Yang Shuangsu to use a whip meant for lower Lord Gods and endured ten lashes while circulating his Primordial True Martial Scripture to strengthen his body.

• Jiang Ping An regained consciousness and asked Yang Shuangsu to continue, but she stopped the punishment and warned him not to return.
• Yang Shuangsu released Jiang Ping An and advised him to train at the Star Body Forging Hall; he thanked her and left the Law Enforcement Hall.

Jiang Ping An entered the Star Body Forging Hall and discovered that Star Power could strengthen his body with little pain. He then recognized Zhuo Shan, the enemy who had destroyed the Immortal Realm and killed his family, and headed toward the arena where Zhuo Shan was fighting.

• Yang Shuangsu escorted Jiang Ping An to the Star Body Forging Hall to earn three years of free room fees for referring him.
• Jiang Ping An registered for the public cultivation area after learning that a private room for his physique level cost ten million Sacred Land Coins per year.
• Jiang Ping An felt Star Power damage and strengthen his body, with the Primordial True Martial Scripture greatly increasing its benefits.
• Jiang Ping An spotted Zhuo Shan fighting another Lower Lord God Realm expert in the arena and suppressed his killing intent with the Soul Disorder Art.
• A maid explained that the arena was permitted because the hall supervised its matches and paid taxes, and Jiang Ping An abandoned his plan to upgrade rooms and walked toward it.

Jiang Ping An provoked Zhuo Shan into facing him in the arena, where their hatred over Jiang Ping An’s destroyed Immortal Realm and murdered loved ones resurfaced. After paying the entry fee, Jiang Ping An stepped into the ring to fight Zhuo Shan.

• Jiang Ping An taunted Zhuo Shan during his arena match and used the Soul Disorder Art to aggravate his emotions.

• Jiang Ping An and Zhuo Shan exchanged threats, and the Referee warned them about the arena’s rules and entry fee.
• Jiang Ping An paid the fee and entered the arena, trembling as he faced Zhuo Shan.

• Jiang Ping An kicked Zhuo Shan's mangled body across the arena, and Zhuo Shan regenerated as the spectators watched in stunned silence.
• Jiang Ping An mocked Zhuo Shan, who drew a mid-grade Lord God Divine Weapon and hurled its black trident at him.

Jiang Ping An used the Soul Disorder Art to provoke Zhuo Shan into breaking the rules and attempting to kill him, leading to Zhuo Shan’s arrest and a thousand-year sentence in Starry Sky Prison. After arranging a private Cultivation Room, Jiang Ping An began using its abundant Star Power to temper his body for the remaining Newcomer Assessment rounds.

• The Referee stopped Zhuo Shan’s divine weapon from killing Jiang Ping An, then banned Zhuo Shan from the Star Body Forging Hall and reported him to the Law Enforcement Hall.
• Yang Shuangsu arrived, reviewed the Recording Jade Pendant, and arrested Zhuo Shan, who faced revoked stipends, twenty whippings, and a thousand years in Starry Sky Prison.
• Zhuo Shan begged Jiang Ping An to forgive him, but Jiang Ping An refused and reminded him of the harm he had caused his closest kin and homeland.
• The Star Body Forging Hall offered Jiang Ping An a discount, and he used it toward an upgrade to a private Cultivation Room.
• Jiang Ping An entered the room and began tempering his body with Star Power, hoping to prepare for the final two Newcomer Assessment rounds.

Jiang Ping An used a sparring projection to temper his body and learn how to improve his Divine Arts. He discovered that Divine Arts could become innate talents, and learned that passing all three Newcomer Assessments with excellent ratings would earn him a Holy Land Baptism that could transform one.

• Jiang Ping An summoned a Lower Lord God sparring projection and let its ice attacks temper his body until he developed resistance to them.
• Jiang Ping An fought the projection to study its Divine Arts, then asked it to assess his weaknesses.

• The projection described costly methods of transformation and told Jiang Ping An that three excellent Newcomer Assessment results would earn him a Holy Land Baptism that could transform a Divine Art into an innate talent.

Jiang Ping An learned that he should use the Holy Land Baptism to refine a single Divine Art into a talent, then entered the Divine Ruins Space to find techniques that could improve [Facing Tribulation]. After defeating Demon Illusion Fairy in a virtual fight, he began studying the Vajra Mystic Art.

• The projection sparring partner advised Jiang Ping An that his body could not bear many converted talents and that he should focus on one, such as [Facing Tribulation].

Jiang Ping An spent years strengthening his soul and refining [Facing Tribulation] before entering the Second Newcomer Assessment, which tested comprehension of sacred script on the [Myriad Origin Heavenly Stele]. The examiners deliberately made the trial exceptionally difficult to reduce the number of newcomers who achieved excellent results.

• Jiang Ping An cultivated Soul Disorder Art and strengthened his soul while studying ancient texts and refining [Facing Tribulation].
• The Order God Realm newcomers gathered before the assessment, and Demon Illusion Fairy noticed Jiang Ping An was absent but kept his identity secret.
• Jiang Ping An entered the assessment room and learned that newcomers had one year to break down Divine Runes from the patterns on a sacred stone stele, with ten required to pass and thirty for an excellent result.
• Many newcomers struggled with the [Myriad Origin Heavenly Stele] because comprehending its sacred script drained their Soul Force.
• The examiners admitted they had made the Second Trial unusually difficult to reduce the excellent rate, while Fu Yang opposed sending newcomers to the frontlines for the Third Trial.

Jiang Ping An rapidly deciphered the Myriad Origin Heavenly Stele’s inscriptions, then discovered they contained an incantation for improving a Dao Fruit’s grade. He concealed his remarkable progress while studying the valuable method, which even Void Gods struggled to unravel.

• The examiners discussed Jiang Ping An’s fate and debated how well he would perform at deciphering the stele inscriptions.
• Jiang Ping An used his Soul Infant to decipher over a hundred Divine Runes in a few breaths, but stopped when his Soul Force ran out.
• Jiang Ping An chose not to reveal the runes he had deciphered so he would avoid attracting unwanted attention.
• After restoring his Soul Force, Jiang Ping An realized the inscriptions described an incantation that could raise the grade of a Dao Fruit.
• Jiang Ping An continued studying the incantation, unaware that the assessment’s designers had not expected anyone to decipher it.

Jiang Ping An secretly deciphered the complete curse on the stele while hiding most of his progress, then finished the Second Trial with a low ranking. He planned to use the curse to raise his future Dao Fruit’s grade and prepared for the final trial and Holy Land Baptism.

• Jiang Ping An continued deciphering the stele’s sacred script while pretending to make slow progress, and examiners praised his comprehension as good but unremarkable.
• The Second Trial ended, and the newcomers discovered that the difficult test had sharply reduced the pass and excellent-result rates.
• Demon Illusion Fairy and Jun Changge ranked highest in their group, while Demon Illusion Fairy noticed Burial Abyss had placed seventeenth and urged him to do better in the Third Trial.
• Yan Wuya ranked first among Ninth Level God Kings and dismissed Burial Abyss as a fighter with poor comprehension before returning to cultivation.
• Jiang Ping An revealed to himself that he had learned the complete curse despite ranking low, and he planned to use it on his Dao Fruit after reaching the Lord God Realm.
• Jiang Ping An planned to spend the next thirty years refining Facing Tribulation and studying the technique Qu Ji had taught him.

Jiang Ping An trained for decades to make his close-range punches too fast for Lord Gods to perceive, then learned that the Third Trial would take place in the dangerous Starry Sky Prison. After studying the prison’s history and recent disappearances, he suspected those events were connected to the trial.

• Jiang Ping An abandoned long-range attacks and practiced making his close-range punches disappear, eventually striking lower-level Lord Gods before they could see his attacks.
• Jiang Ping An spent ten years training in the Star Body Forging Hall, then intensified his physical training to extend his extreme speed beyond his punches.

• Jiang Ping An bought information about the Starry Sky Prison and learned it held dangerous prisoners across eighteen levels, while rumors spoke of recent unexplained disappearances.
• Jiang Ping An suspected the disappearances were connected to the Third Trial, but he did not know what the trial would require.

• Zhuo Shan consumed two prison guards, advanced to mid-level Lord God, and vowed to ambush Jiang Ping An during the trial.

• Yang Shuangsu told Jiang Ping An that Zhuo Shan had killed two jailers and escaped the prison's administrative zone, though he remained inside the prison.
• Yang Shuangsu warned Jiang Ping An that Starry Sky Prison was unsafe, then activated the array and sent him there.

Jiang Ping An arrived at the Starry Sky Prison for the third newcomer assessment, where Demon Illusion Fairy offered to team up with him. The examiners announced a dangerous trial to kill Earth Demon Green Fiends, leaving the newcomers facing a stated fifty-percent mortality rate.

• Jiang Ping An arrived at the contaminated Starry Sky Prison and retreated to a corner, where the green energy did not affect him because he had no Origin.
• Demon Illusion Fairy arrived, gathered with the Order God Kingdom newcomers, and offered to cooperate with Jiang Ping An.
