Chapter Summaries

Yun Yao upgraded Jiang Ping An's Time Secret Treasure into a supreme treasure, then urged him to learn a way to earn resources beyond relying on the Devouring Heaven Bottle. She offered to teach him weapon enhancement, leaving Jiang Ping An poised to cultivate and eventually help Cheng Xuan improve the Heaven Shaking Demon Stick.

• Yun Yao upgraded Jiang Ping An's Time Secret Treasure to a supreme treasure, increasing its time-flow difference to fifteenfold, and Jiang Ping An found that cultivating on it consumed a hundred Immortal Crystals per day.
• Yun Yao warned Jiang Ping An that the Devouring Heaven Bottle would not always provide enough resources and offered to teach him alchemy or weapon refinement.
• Jiang Ping An considered learning a way to earn resources, and Yun Yao offered to teach him the Weapon Enhancement Technique after she rested.
• When Jiang Ping An tried to lay Yun Yao down in her Crystal Coffin, she woke and threatened him with a terrifying aura before falling asleep again.
• Cheng Xuan asked Jiang Ping An to enhance the Heaven Shaking Demon Stick so she could gain more freedom, and Jiang Ping An agreed.

After the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect recovered the complete Divine Feather Art, Azure Branch Academy specially recruited Jiang Ping An. Xiao Liangyan took him to Ghost City, where Lin Tan prepared to escort him onward, and Jiang Ping An asked about the terrifying presence inside the city.

• Xiao Liangyan celebrated the discovery of the complete Divine Feather Art as word of Jiang Ping An's feats spread through the Illusory Moon Region.
• The elders of the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode resolved to kill Jiang Ping An when he went to Azure Branch Academy, where they expected him to lose the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect's protection.
• Miao Jing returned from exploring the Divine Bird Clan's grotto and told Jiang Ping An that Azure Branch Academy would likely recruit him specially.
• Xiao Liangyan confirmed Jiang Ping An's special recruitment, gave him the Divine Feather Art and two million Immortal Crystals, and warned him to keep a low profile at the academy.
• Xiao Liangyan took Jiang Ping An to Ghost City, where Lin Tan met them and said he would handle the rest of the journey.
• Jiang Ping An entered Ghost City at night and asked Lin Tan what terrifying thing inside it could kill even Immortals.

Lin Tan explained that Ghost City's invisible beings were shattered souls created when an Immortal destroyed the Soul Realm, and Yun Yao found that the Soul-Type Technique was hidden in their memories. Jiang Ping An traveled toward Azure Branch Academy, where he unexpectedly encountered Miao Xia at Immortal Gazing Gate.

• Lin Tan told Jiang Ping An the history of the shattered souls and gave him a pass to Azure Branch Academy.
• Yun Yao borrowed Jiang Ping An's Malevolent Spirit clone, found the Soul-Type Technique's source in the shattered souls, and withheld the technique unless he called her Godmother.
• Jiang Ping An studied the Divine Feather Art, then left Ghost City and traveled toward Azure Branch Academy.
• Miao Xia gathered the seven medicinal herbs in Star Moon Sea, reached Immortal Gazing Gate, and sent Jiang Ping An a message about her progress.
• Jiang Ping An replied that he had seen Immortal Gazing Gate and appeared beside Miao Xia, who was shocked to see him.

Jiang Ping An reunited with Miao Xia at Immortal Gazing Gate, where he learned that surviving its simulated immortal tribulation required more than strength. After Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode assassins attacked them, Jiang Ping An dragged Ouyang Zhuan across the gate’s threshold, forcing both of them to face the tribulation.

• Jiang Ping An found Miao Xia and told her he had been specially recruited by Azure Branch Academy, though he then claimed he had sneaked in when she doubted him.
• Miao Xia watched Zhang Tao die in the simulated immortal tribulation and explained to Jiang Ping An how tribulations tested both the body and the Dao heart.
• Two Domain Realm Late Stage Cultivators ambushed Miao Xia and Jiang Ping An, badly injuring Jiang Ping An as Ouyang Zhuan pursued him.
• Jiang Ping An used Devouring Power and the gravity law to drag Ouyang Zhuan over Immortal Gazing Gate’s threshold, and the Immortal’s barrier prevented Ouyang Zhuan from escaping.
• The Immortal expelled Miao Xia’s attacker but said no one could interfere once the tribulation began, leaving Jiang Ping An and Ouyang Zhuan to face it alone.

Jiang Ping An faced the immortal tribulation at Immortal Gazing Gate, swallowed its clouds with his Devouring Power, and worsened Ouyang Zhuan’s tribulation. His Karmic Fire Tribulation then appeared, leaving everyone fearing that the newly revealed Azure Branch Academy recruit would die.

• Ouyang Zhuan cursed Jiang Ping An and tried to distance himself, but Jiang Ping An drew their tribulation clouds together.
• Jiang Ping An seemed overwhelmed by the first lightning strikes until he recovered and swallowed the wind, rain, and lightning tribulations with a Devouring Black Hole.
• Jiang Ping An devoured part of Ouyang Zhuan’s tribulation clouds, intensifying the tribulation and leaving Ouyang Zhuan badly charred.
• A vast Karmic Fire Tribulation Cloud appeared above Jiang Ping An, and the crowd learned that he was the specially recruited Jiang Ping An of Azure Branch Academy.
• Ouyang Zhuan laughed that they would die together as Cultivators recognized Jiang Ping An and feared the Karmic Fire Tribulation would kill him.

Jiang Ping An drove away the Karmic Fire Tribulation, but then faced the legendary Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation. Inside its golden clouds, a figure copied his bodies, innate powers, and techniques, and began overpowering him as he prepared to try a new move.

• Jiang Ping An ordered the Karmic Fire Red Lotus away, and the lotus and crimson tribulation clouds vanished.
• Ouyang Zhuan lost his focus, was struck by immortal lightning, and was scattered by the Wind Tribulation.
• Golden clouds formed over the Immortal Gazing Gate, and the immortal identified the new trial as the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation.
• Jiang Ping An summoned his other two bodies and confronted an armored figure that replicated his powers, techniques, and clones.
• The figure healed faster than Jiang Ping An and overpowered him, leaving him bloodied as he vowed to try a new move.

Jiang Ping An fought an Immortal Tribulation Figure that copied his powers, using the Devouring Heaven Demon Scripture and his fused Five Great Domains to survive the battle. The Immortal Gazing Gate exploded before the outcome was clear, and Jiang Ping An emerged alive, left wondering what the tribulation and the gate concealed.

• Jiang Ping An summoned a Sword Cultivator projection with Rebirth, but the Immortal Tribulation Figure restored itself with Time Power and replicated Rebirth to summon an identical Sword Cultivator.
• The Sword Cultivator nearly killed Jiang Ping An, but he bound and devoured it with the Devouring Heaven Demon Scripture, absorbing Immortal Dao Power from the golden tribulation clouds.
• Immortal Dao Power fused Jiang Ping An's Five Immortal Roots, allowing him to release all five Domains at once and gain the upper hand against the Immortal Tribulation Figure.
• The Immortal Tribulation Figure merged its bodies and replicated the fused Five Great Domains, forcing Jiang Ping An into an even struggle as they battled within the tribulation clouds.
• Outside the Immortal Gazing Gate, cracks spread across the artifact before it exploded, and the golden tribulation clouds dispersed to reveal a severely wounded but living Jiang Ping An.

After surviving the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Ping An learned that it might prevent him from ever becoming an Immortal, while Miao Xia stayed by his side and promised to protect him. As the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode plotted to kill him, Yun Yao suggested that forging multiple Immortal Roots might have provoked the Heavenly Dao.

• Miao Xia rescued Jiang Ping An, and he declined the Immortal's offer to teleport him to Azure Branch Academy, choosing to stay with her instead.
• Jiang Ping An told Miao Xia how Time Power had helped him forge multiple Immortal Roots, and she reacted with shock and concern.
• Miao Xia shared Drunken Immortal with Jiang Ping An, and the pair spent the night together; afterward, she insisted he take responsibility for her.
• An Immortal from Azure Branch Academy repaired the Immortal Gazing Gate and explained that the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation had left Jiang Ping An with little hope of becoming an Immortal.
• The Feather Emperor Immortal Sect avenged Jiang Ping An by killing one of his ambushers, while Ouyang Hongyun and the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode's elders arranged another attempt to eliminate him.
• Jiang Ping An asked Yun Yao about the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, and she suggested his multiple Immortal Roots might have displeased the Heavenly Dao.

Jiang Ping An learned Yun Yao’s Weapon Enhancement Technique after deciding he still needed greater strength to survive the tribulation and protect those he loved. He quickly drew his first Immortal Rune, surprising Yun Yao with his comprehension and revealing the advantage of his Sea of Consciousness Manifestation Ability.

• Jiang Ping An rejected the idea that merely perfecting his abilities would let him defeat a copy of himself, and Yun Yao offered him space in the Crystal Coffin if he gave up becoming an Immortal.
• Yun Yao explained that her Weapon Enhancement Technique could strengthen his body as well as weapons, then demonstrated it by turning the Judge's Brush into an immortal artifact using one million Immortal Crystals.
• Yun Yao passed the technique’s rune knowledge to Jiang Ping An, who began practicing with his finger after she warned him not to rely on an immortal artifact.
• Jiang Ping An drew a complete Immortal Rune within a day, prompting Yun Yao to feign sleep rather than honor her promise to strengthen his Heaven Shaking Demon Stick for free.
• Jiang Ping An continued practicing and used his Sea of Consciousness Manifestation Ability to explain how he had mentally drawn the rune thousands of times; Yun Yao watched in shock at his comprehension.

Jiang Ping An gave Miao Xia the Battle God Art, and she trained for ten years before forcing an immortal tribulation to attract the attention of Azure Branch Academy experts who might help him survive his Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation. Miao Xia endured eight bolts but was overwhelmed by the trial of the heart; Jiang Ping An jolted her awake just as the ninth bolt descended, leaving her fate unknown.

• Yun Yao broke the seals on Jiang Ping An's techniques, allowing him to pass the Battle God Art to Miao Xia.
• Miao Xia mastered the Battle God Art's Sixth Layer and its secret techniques over ten years while Jiang Ping An studied the Weapon Enhancement Technique and prepared for his own tribulation.
• At the Immortal Gazing Gate, Miao Xia bypassed the entrance and forced her immortal tribulation to begin, hoping to attract Azure Branch Academy experts who could help Jiang Ping An.
• Miao Xia withstood the first six bolts with the Battle God Art, but the trial of the heart left her unresponsive when the seventh bolt struck and nearly dead after the eighth.
• As the final bolt descended, Jiang Ping An provoked Miao Xia by comparing her unfavorably to his Dao Companion, and Miao Xia sat up before the lightning engulfed her.

Miao Xia survived her immortal tribulation and became a Human Immortal, and Yang Jinyu followed a few months later. As the two prepared to join Azure Branch Academy, Divine Light invited them but excluded Jiang Ping An because he was expected to face the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation.

• Miao Xia used the Divine Spirit Body technique to survive her tribulation, became an Immortal, and teased Jiang Ping An before delaying their trip to Azure Branch Academy.

• When Miao Xia tried to include Jiang Ping An, Shao Feng said Divine Light was inviting only the two women because Jiang Ping An was expected to face divine punishment.

Miao Xia and Yang Jinyu entered Azure Branch Academy with Jiang Ping An, where Miao Xia secured a place for him in Divine Light despite his inability to become an immortal. At registration, Jiang Ping An learned that the academy could not avert his Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, but he arranged a Nirvana Pill for Miao Jing and gave Miao Xia his wish for five hundred years of cultivation in the Azure Branch Divine Hall; Immortal Master Wang then offered him a shop manager job.

• Miao Xia refused to join Divine Light unless Jiang Ping An could come too, and Qian Wu agreed to let him join without receiving contribution-based resources.
• Qian Wu escorted Miao Xia, Yang Jinyu, and Jiang Ping An into Azure Branch Academy, where Shao Feng departed for the Demon Domain and Qian Wu explained the Divine Token.

• Jiang Ping An used his request to arrange delivery of a Nirvana Pill to Miao Jing in the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect.
• Jiang Ping An gave Miao Xia his wish for five hundred years of comprehension in the Azure Branch Divine Hall, and Immortal Master Wang completed the application for her.
• Immortal Master Wang offered Jiang Ping An a paid position managing his shop, and Qian Wu urged him to accept.

Jiang Ping An arrived at Azure Branch Academy, accepted a job managing Immortal Master Wang's Shop, and was excluded from the Immortal students' social circle. After finding the shop had little to recommend it, he began upgrading its magical treasures to improve their value.

• Wang Dong gave Jiang Ping An a Divine Token and assigned him to manage Immortal Master Wang's Shop, while Qian Wu added Miao Xia and others to the Divine Light group.
• The Divine Light members privately questioned Jiang Ping An's place in the group, and Jiang Ping An left Miao Xia with Qian Wu to find the shop.
• Jiang Ping An met Wang Ying, who explained that the shop's goods and prices could not compete with neighboring stores.
• Jiang Ping An used his Weapon Enhancement Technique to upgrade nine magical treasures, while one broke and cost him Immortal Crystals to replace.
• Wang Ying noticed Jiang Ping An on the sixth floor and urged him to leave the failing shop, but he came downstairs to start selling.

Jiang Ping An attracted customers with a half-price magical treasure sale and began offering weapon enhancement services to earn money. After he stored the shop’s missing treasures for his clones to enhance, Wang Ying returned and accused him of stealing them.

• Jiang Ping An put up a promotion offering the second high-grade Domain Realm magical treasure at half price, drawing a crowd that quickly bought all ten discounted treasures.
• Zhao Yang and a wealthy Blue-Robed Cultivator entrusted Jiang Ping An with magical treasures to enhance, agreeing to pay when they returned the following month.
• Jiang Ping An explained that the shop would hold a monthly sale and offer enhancement services, using the promotion to build trust and attract future customers.
• After the customers left, Jiang Ping An stored the shop’s magical treasures in his Small World and had his clones enhance them.
• Wang Ying returned, noticed more than twenty Domain-Level magical treasures were missing, and accused Jiang Ping An of stealing them.

Jiang Ping An faced Wang Ying’s accusation, proved he had sold the shop’s magical artifacts honestly, and rebuked her for refusing to accept her mistake. He then offered to repair a customer’s damaged axe in one hour, leaving Wang Ying convinced he was boasting.

• Wang Ying accused Jiang Ping An of stealing magical artifacts, but he showed her a Storage Ring containing over a million Immortal Crystals and told her to check the sales records.
• Wang Ying verified the records and inspected the shop’s inventory, finding that every sale was accurate and nothing was missing.
• Unable to apologize at first, Wang Ying tried to impress Jiang Ping An with her ambitions, but he ignored her and warned that her pride and conflicted state of mind could hinder her immortal tribulation.
• Wang Ying eventually apologized, then dismissed Jiang Ping An’s advice and returned to reading a storybook.
• A bearded cultivator brought in a cracked mid-grade Domain Level axe, and Jiang Ping An offered to repair it for ten thousand Immortal Crystals within one hour.
• Wang Ying laughed at Jiang Ping An’s promised repair time, insisting that repairing such an artifact would take an ordinary Refining Master at least a month.

Jiang Ping An repaired a cracked axe and a shattered golden bell far faster and more skillfully than expected, earning Immortal Crystals and proving his ability to Gu Wei. Wang Ying remained unwilling to believe him, while Gu Wei recognized Jiang Ping An as a genuine Refining Master and apologized for testing him.

• Jiang Ping An promised to repair the Bearded Man Cultivator's cracked axe within an hour, while Wang Ying asked Gu Wei whether such a repair was possible.
• Jiang Ping An returned with the axe fully repaired, and the Bearded Man Cultivator paid him ten thousand Immortal Crystals.

Jiang Ping An earned Immortal Crystals by teaching Gu Wei artifact repair and building his Weapon Enhancement proficiency. During the shop’s monthly discount sale, he attracted a crowd with upgraded artifacts and low prices, but a bounty hunter recognized him and reported his location.

• Gu Wei paid Jiang Ping An one hundred thousand Immortal Crystals for three days of guidance on repairing magical artifacts, then exchanged contact information with him.
• Jiang Ping An reassured Miao Xia that he had found a way to prepare for the Divine Punishment Heavenly Tribulation and trained his Weapon Enhancement ability by upgrading artifacts.

Jiang Ping An was ambushed in his shop by three assassins, but he counterattacked and revealed his fused Five Great Domains, Time Power, and several powerful treasures. After defeating two of the assassins, he faced the surviving elder, who overwhelmed him with origin power and left him struggling to survive.

• Ouyang Zhuori learned Jiang Ping An had been found and hired assassins to kill him.
• Jiang Ping An sensed the three assassins’ attack, trapped the fan-wielding assassin in the Devouring Heaven Bottle, and fought the other two inside a spatial barrier.
• Jiang Ping An fused his three bodies and unleashed the Five Great Domains, but the assassins shattered his body and tried to collect his remains in a blood-red sack.

• The old assassin attacked Jiang Ping An with a supreme treasure spear, but Jiang Ping An blocked the strike with his golden wings and counterattacked with the Divine Feather Wings.
• The old assassin unleashed his origin power and battered Jiang Ping An, who struggled to withstand the stronger opponent’s attacks.

Jiang Ping An killed the third assassin after breaking an immortal-grade Forbidden Technique with the Judge's Brush, then refined another attacker for Immortal Crystals. After Wang Dong expelled him from the shop, Jiang Ping An paid Wang Ying for the destroyed goods and left, while Wang Dong learned of his weapon-refinement skill but dismissed its importance.

• The old assassin used Jiang Ping An's blood to cast an immortal-grade Forbidden Technique, but Jiang Ping An broke the curse with the Judge's Brush and killed him with the Heaven Shaking Demon Stick.
• Jiang Ping An showed the last trapped assassin his companion's corpse, learned the man did not know who had hired them, and refined him for Immortal Crystals.
• Jiang Ping An told Wang Dong that the assassins had destroyed most of the shop's first-floor goods, and Wang Dong ordered him to leave without paying compensation.
• Wang Ying returned and blamed Jiang Ping An for getting her scolded, but he gave her 756,432 Immortal Crystals to cover the damaged goods before leaving.
• Wang Ying told Wang Dong that Jiang Ping An was skilled at repairing magical treasures and had taught Gu Wei, but Wang Dong dismissed weapon refinement as a minor path.

Jiang Ping An was brought in to help repair an ancient Seal Box, but another Refining Master cracked it by ignoring his warning. Jiang Ping An claimed he could open the seal instead and slapped the box, leaving Deng ShaoXi alarmed.

• Gu Wei brought Jiang Ping An to a private courtyard, where Refining Masters had failed to repair an ancient Seal Box for Deng ShaoXi.
• Jiang Ping An warned that reinforcing the aged box would make it crack, but a tall Refining Master ignored him and caused a crack.

• Jiang Ping An offered to open the seal, and Deng ShaoXi promised another hundred thousand Immortal Crystals if he succeeded.
• Jiang Ping An slapped the cracked box, startling Deng ShaoXi, who feared the contents would be destroyed.
