Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy killed six Three-Headed Ghost Sharks, then fought over the Taiyin Divine Water and negotiated a split. They found an ancient black box in the ruined cabin and opened it to reveal a bottle of the treasure.

• Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy fought the six Three-Headed Ghost Sharks together and killed them after a day.

• Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy explored the cabin and found an ancient black box on a stone platform among the skeletons.
• Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy opened the box and found a small bottle of Black Liquid that appeared to be Taiyin Divine Water.

Jiang Ping An claimed most of the Taiyin Divine Water and refused Demon Illusion Fairy’s offer to trade for his supposed yin-yang Divine Art. As he tried to leave, she and three pursuing Immortal Lords trapped him in a frozen barrier, leaving him facing seemingly certain death.

• Jiang Ping An used Demon Bone Armor and Devouring Space to flee, but Demon Illusion Fairy froze the surrounding seawater into a barrier and urged the three Immortal Lords to attack.
• Trapped with four Immortal Lords and few unseen trump cards, Jiang Ping An feared he would die.

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy joined forces to kill three Immortal Lords, then parted after fighting over the last survivor. After learning that everyone he had come to rescue had died, Jiang Ping An was accused by Dong Yunfeng of abandoning them and withdrew into a sea trench.

• Demon Illusion Fairy froze three Immortal Lords, allowing Jiang Ping An to wound them and absorb their flesh and blood with the Yin Yang Diagram.

• Jiang Ping An escaped a Profound Immortal-Level sea snake, hid in its nest, and contacted Bai Jingqiu with the God Sound Talisman.
• Dong Yunfeng accused Jiang Ping An of failing to save his grandson and clansmen, while Bai Jingqiu defended him and warned that everyone else had died.
• Jiang Ping An ended the call and drank liquor, angered and hurt by Dong Yunfeng's accusations.

Jiang Ping An discovered that Xu Qinglan had helped arrange the attack on him and resolved to repay the debt when he was strong enough. Xu Qinglan learned that the Immortal Lords he sent after Jiang Ping An had died and struggled to find a way to kill him without Lan Shi'er discovering his role.

• Jiang Ping An read the dead Immortal Lords' memories and learned that Xu Qinglan had joined Centipede Island and Walrus Island in targeting him and Kunpeng Island.
• Jiang Ping An found no Divine Arts in the memories, refined the corpses, and sent an Avatar to study the rule power in Taiyin Divine Water.
• Xu Qinglan heard that the Immortal Lords' life tablets had shattered and feared that Jiang Ping An had survived their attack.
• Xu Qinglan struck his subordinate for suggesting a direct attack, explaining that he wanted to eliminate Jiang Ping An without Lan Shi'er learning the truth.
• Xu Qinglan dismissed the idea of hiring assassins because Jiang Ping An rarely left his Cultivation Room and the training grounds were too dangerous to infiltrate.
• Xu Qinglan's subordinate said he had a plan.

Xu Qinglan planned to lure Jiang Ping An out of the Cultivation Ground by arranging a trial for Refining Masters. After Lan Shi'er tested her new Immortal Lord strength against Jiang Ping An, he received notice that all Refining Masters had to attend a trial at Underwater Flame Mountain in three days.

• Xu Qinglan accepted his subordinate's plan to arrange a Refining Master trial so assassins could target Jiang Ping An outside the Cultivation Ground.
• Lan Shi'er greeted Jiang Ping An and challenged him after revealing she had reached the Immortal Lord Realm.
• Lan Shi'er used God Seal to pin Jiang Ping An, but he broke free and warned her not to underestimate opponents.
• Jiang Ping An revealed that his Yin Yang Dao Body let him break seals, and Lan Shi'er admired his strength.
• Jiang Ping An's Identity Token announced a mandatory Refining Master trial at Underwater Flame Mountain, offering the God-level Artifact Refining Art as a reward.

Jiang Ping An learned that the mandatory trial at Underwater Flame Mountain would select three Refining Masters to receive Origin Fire Seeds of Heavenly Star Trueflame, along with a god-level Forging Technique as a reward. He assembled with the other Refining Masters and heard the details from Sun Xinxiu.

• Jiang Ping An researched Underwater Flame Mountain and learned that the Nether King Ship had helped establish it as a public refining Holy Land.
• Jiang Ping An went to the Refining Room with Lan Shi'er, where the gathered Refining Masters watched him but kept their distance because of Xu Qinglan.
• Sun Xinxiu arrived with two other God Realm experts and confirmed that everyone had assembled for the trial.
• Sun Xinxiu announced that the Clan Leader had acquired three Origin Fire Seeds of Heavenly Star Trueflame and would award them to three outstanding Refining Masters who passed the trial.
• The Refining Masters grew excited over the chance to obtain a supreme divine flame and a god-level Forging Technique.

The Refining Masters traveled to Underwater Flame Mountain for a trial whose hidden purpose was to eliminate Jiang Ping An. Sun Xinxiu announced a flame-control test that disadvantaged Jiang Ping An, and Lan Shi'er challenged its fairness.

• Sun Xinxiu told the Refining Masters that only the top three could absorb the three Heavenly Star Trueflame seeds and led them to Underwater Flame Mountain.
• Xu Qinglan tried to draw Lan Shi'er closer with an ancient Divine Art and an offer to accompany her, but she rejected him and clung to Jiang Ping An.
• Xu Qinglan followed the group, expecting a hired God Comprehension Realm expert to kill Jiang Ping An during the trial.
• At Underwater Flame Mountain, Sun Xinxiu set the first trial: each Refining Master had to use local flames to replicate a Two-Horned Fire Lion or be eliminated.
• Lan Shi'er objected that the flame-control test unfairly disadvantaged Jiang Ping An, and Sun Xinxiu replied that Jiang Ping An could simply admit defeat.

Jiang Ping An entered a difficult Flame Power trial designed to hinder him, but his Yin Yang Dao Body quickly analyzed the flames and let him form a perfect Two-Horned Fire Lion. Sun Xinxiu declared him the first to pass, leaving the other contestants stunned.

• Sun Xinxiu began the contest, requiring the Forging Master apprentices to use the local flames to form Two-Horned Fire Lions.
• The contestants struggled to control the overbearing flames, and their attempts repeatedly exploded.
• Jiang Ping An absorbed a wisp of flame, and his Extreme Yang Origin analyzed its laws.
• Jiang Ping An used the Devouring Cultivation Method to gather Flame Power and swiftly formed a lifelike Two-Horned Fire Lion.
• Sun Xinxiu inspected Jiang Ping An's lion and declared that he had passed, shocking Xu Qinglan and the other contestants.

Jiang Ping An passed the first test at Underwater Flame Mountain, but Xu Qinglan arranged for the God Realm experts to leave and give an assassin an opening. The assassin destroyed Jiang Ping An’s Avatar, and the chapter ended with Jiang Ping An revealing through a God Sound Talisman that he had survived.

• Jiang Ping An completed the test first, while Xu Qinglan grew jealous of his strength and suspected the assassin had not yet struck.
• Xu Qinglan persuaded Sun Xinxiu and the other God Realm Refining Masters to leave, then Jiang Ping An sent Lan Shi'er down the mountain to keep her away from danger.
• A God Comprehension Realm Peak-stage assassin attacked Jiang Ping An, destroyed his body, and killed several nearby Refining Masters.
• Xu Qinglan pretended to grieve for Jiang Ping An and tried to comfort Lan Shi'er, while the other God Realm experts pursued the assassin.
• Lan Shi'er contacted Jiang Ping An with a God Sound Talisman, and he revealed that the assassin had destroyed only his Avatar.

After an assassin killed Jiang Ping An's avatar during the refining trial, Bai Jingqiu escorted him back to continue it. Jiang Ping An suspected the Godship Remnant Clan had arranged the attack, and Bai Jingqiu began to reconsider his talent and agreed to give him a Divine Art.

• Lan Shi'er cried over Jiang Ping An's apparent death, then urged him to return to the trial under Bai Jingqiu's protection.
• Bai Jingqiu confronted Sun Xinxiu over the failed security and demanded an investigation into Centipede Island and Walrus Island.
• Sun Xinxiu resumed the trial, while Jiang Ping An told Bai Jingqiu he suspected the Godship Remnant Clan had orchestrated the assassination.
• Jiang Ping An cited Xu Qinglan's interest in Lan Shi'er, Xu Qinglan's past betrayal, and the three God Realm Forging Masters' suspicious departure as reasons for his suspicion.
• Lan Shi'er asked Bai Jingqiu to give Jiang Ping An a copy of the Bai Family's Divine Arts, and Bai Jingqiu agreed to give him one.

Bai Jingqiu offered Jiang Ping An a Divine Art from the Bai Family, but he rejected the cultivation, defensive, and sword arts she suggested. After Lan Shi'er explained the dangerous and powerful 'Primordial True Martial Scripture,' Jiang Ping An chose to learn it.

• Bai Jingqiu offered Jiang Ping An one of the Bai Family's closely guarded Divine Arts for Lan Shi'er's sake.
• Jiang Ping An turned down the 'White Sea Eternal Immortal Technique,' 'Water Wood Celestial Radiance,' and 'Divine Wind Shattered Star Sword' as unsuitable for his abilities or weapon.
• Lan Shi'er suggested giving Jiang Ping An all the arts, and Bai Jingqiu scolded her before warning Jiang Ping An about the perilous 'Primordial True Martial Scripture.'
• Lan Shi'er explained that the 'Primordial True Martial Scripture' required rare Primordial Qi and brutal body tempering, but Jiang Ping An asked to learn it.

Jiang Ping An chose to learn the dangerous Primordial True Martial Scripture, while Bai Jingqiu expected him to fail and refused to offer another Divine Art for now. After the apprentices completed the first forging trial, the organizers announced a second trial that Lan Shi'er suspected was designed to prevent Jiang Ping An from winning.

• Jiang Ping An insisted on choosing the Primordial True Martial Scripture despite Bai Jingqiu's warnings, and she handed him the copied manual.
• Lan Shi'er learned that Bai Jingqiu believed Jiang Ping An could not cultivate the Scripture without rare Primordial Qi, but Bai Jingqiu refused to let him choose another Divine Art yet.
• Jiang Ping An opened the manual and began studying its profound runes while the other apprentices continued trying to condense Two-Horned Fire Lions.
• The first trial ended with eleven apprentices passing, and Sun Xinxiu announced that the second trial would require them to forge a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact.
• Lan Shi'er objected that the second trial was unfair to Jiang Ping An, but Sun Xinxiu defended the rules as equal for all contestants.

Jiang Ping An faced a deliberately sabotaged forging trial, but he corrected the flawed blueprint and used his inherited techniques to forge a fork artifact. The artifact neared completion as the other participants realized it was about to become a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact.

• Sun Xinxiu gave the Forging Masters poor-quality materials and a flawed blueprint, while Xu Qinglan hoped the rigged trial would keep Jiang Ping An from claiming the reward.
• Jiang Ping An studied the blueprint for ten days, identified its flaws, and calculated how to balance the materials.
• Jiang Ping An used Devouring Power to purify the materials and drew Heavenly Star Trueflame from Underwater Flame Mountain.
• Jiang Ping An fused the materials with his fists using Sister Yun Yao's Thousand Refinements, astonishing the other Forging Masters.
• Jiang Ping An shaped the fused materials into a fork, whose powerful aura signaled that a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact was about to take shape.

Jiang Ping An nearly completed a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact, but Xu Qinglan deliberately disrupted the forging and cracked its embryo. Lan Shi'er punished Xu Qinglan, while Jiang Ping An chose to repair the artifact rather than start over.

• Jiang Ping An used his forging skills and balanced energy control to shape an immortal artifact embryo with the potential to become a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact.
• Xu Qinglan unleashed a burst of energy that interrupted the forging and cracked the embryo, then claimed it had been an accident.
• Lan Shi'er accused Xu Qinglan of sabotage, sealed his origin with her God Seal, and struck him with her sword.
• Lan Shi'er ordered Sun Xinxiu to provide new materials, but Jiang Ping An refused because he had no time to forge another artifact.
• Jiang Ping An stored the embryo and used the Heaven Mending Art to repair it, while Lan Shi'er warned Xu Qinglan not to target him again.

Jiang Ping An completed a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact despite its damaged embryo and the poor materials, shocking the Second Trial's participants and proving Sun Xinxiu wrong. After Sun Xinxiu confirmed he had not added any other materials, Jiang Ping An demanded the promised Heavenly Star Trueflame fire seed and god-grade Forging Technique.

• Sun Xinxiu offered to hold another test, but Jiang Ping An refused and continued forging while Lan Shi'er told Sun to let her uncle work in peace.
• The other refining apprentices doubted Jiang Ping An could repair the damaged artifact, while Lan Shi'er alone trusted that he would succeed.
• Jiang Ping An revealed a completed Top-Grade Immortal Artifact, a fork, stunning the crowd and prompting accusations that he had cheated.
• Jiang Ping An tossed the fork to Sun Xinxiu and demanded the promised rewards.
• Sun Xinxiu broke down and inspected the fork, found no added materials, and asked Jiang Ping An how he had forged it.
• Jiang Ping An declined to explain and repeated his demand for the Heavenly Star Trueflame fire seed and god-grade Forging Technique.

Jiang Ping An won the refining trial and received a sealed Heavenly Star Trueflame Origin Fire Seed and a God-level Forging Technique, while Sun Xinxiu secretly hoped the cursed manual he had given him would cause harm. Back on the Nether King Ship, Jiang Ping An continued studying the Primordial True Martial Scripture and prepared to attempt forging the Primordial Body.

• Jiang Ping An alone forged a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact, won the trial, and accepted the Storage Ring containing the fire seed and forging technique.
• Bai Jingqiu warned the Godship Remnant Clan with her aura, then took Jiang Ping An and Lan Shi'er away; Sun Xinxiu revealed that the supposed forging technique was the incomplete, harmful Blood Sacrifice Evil Tome.
• Sun Xinxiu told the Refining Masters to leave the assassination to the assassins and ordered them to strengthen Xu Qinglan so he could pursue Lan Shi'er.
• Bai Jingqiu advised Jiang Ping An to abandon the Primordial True Martial Scripture, but he chose to keep studying it, while Lan Shi'er dragged him away to tell stories.
• Five days later, Jiang Ping An returned to the Time Cultivation Room and focused on forging the Primordial Body after completing the first chapter's difficult text.

Jiang Ping An used Heavenly Star Trueflame and Taiyin Divine Water to create Primordial Qi and began forging the Primordial Body, enduring unbearable pain. The Crystal Ball warned that the process could last years, but Jiang Ping An refused to give up as he pursued strength and revenge.

• Jiang Ping An failed to create Primordial Qi until the Crystal Ball advised him to fuse god-level Taiyin Divine Water and Heavenly Star Trueflame into his Yin Yang Origin.
• The Crystal Ball told Jiang Ping An that mastering the Primordial True Martial Scripture was unlikely, but he decided to attempt its first section anyway.
• Jiang Ping An fused the two forces in his origin, improving his comprehension of Yin Yang Power and condensing a strand of Primordial Qi after months of cultivation.
• After preparing himself, Jiang Ping An guided Primordial Qi into his body to forge the Primordial Body and was struck by immense agony.
• The Crystal Ball urged Jiang Ping An to stop, but he endured the pain, determined to grow stronger and take revenge for his family.

Jiang Ping An endured the dangerous cultivation of the Primordial True Martial Scripture, repeatedly using Time Power to recover as he advanced its circulation through his body. After reaching two hundred circulations and running low on resources, he prepared to sell immortal artifacts and remembered the damaged puppet blueprint that could earn him a divine artifact.

• Bai Jingqiu told Lan Shi'er that the Primordial True Martial Scripture could destroy a cultivator's body and mind, and revealed that she had endured only fourteen circulations before nearly dying.
• Lan Shi'er asked to bring Jiang Ping An back to her clan, but Bai Jingqiu warned that their enemies would target him and urged Lan Shi'er to grow stronger first.
• In the Time Cultivation Room, Jiang Ping An repeatedly let Primordial Qi ravage his body and restored himself with Time Power as he continued cultivating.
• After three months outside and a year and a half inside the Time Array, Jiang Ping An had completed two hundred of the thousand required circulations and nearly exhausted his resources.
• Jiang Ping An considered selling his immortal artifacts, then remembered the damaged puppet blueprint that could earn him a divine artifact if he completed it.

Jiang Ping An used the Crystal Ball to restore a complete puppet blueprint, altered a copy before showing it to Ding ChiYan, and visited the Refining Master at home. Ding ChiYan offered him a divine sword to build a relationship, while Jiang Ping An remained focused on earning a divine artifact for cultivation resources.

• Jiang Ping An sacrificed a High-Grade Immortal Lord-Level Immortal Sword to the Crystal Ball, which used its power to restore the damaged Black Jade and reveal a complete puppet blueprint.
• Jiang Ping An copied and altered the blueprint, mixing in Yun Family designs so Ding ChiYan would not receive the original.
• Jiang Ping An contacted Ding ChiYan and went to his home using an incarnation to guard against the peak God Comprehension Realm assassin.
• Ding ChiYan welcomed Jiang Ping An with god-level wine, which restored the immortal power of Jiang Ping An's incarnation.
• Ding ChiYan gave Jiang Ping An a First-Order Low-Grade Divine Sword before examining the blueprint, explaining that he wanted to build a karmic bond with a talented future forging master.

Jiang Ping An received a Divine Sword from Ding ChiYan in exchange for a restored puppet blueprint, which could grant access to the Core Region of the fallen Forging Godship. Ding ChiYan planned to forge the puppet and claim the ship’s treasures, while Jiang Ping An left without agreeing to join him.

• Ding ChiYan gave Jiang Ping An a Divine Sword and explained that the puppet blueprint was meant to help enter the Core Region of the fallen Divine Ship near Underwater Flame Mountain.
• Ding ChiYan inspected the restored blueprint and learned that Jiang Ping An had supposedly relied on a God Realm Refining Master to repair it.
• Ding ChiYan urged Jiang Ping An to join an expedition into the Core Region and split its treasures, but Jiang Ping An refused.
• Jiang Ping An accepted Ding ChiYan’s remaining divine-grade wine and left his residence.
• Ding ChiYan regretted revealing the puppet’s purpose, then decided to forge it quickly and pursue the Core Region’s treasures himself.
