Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy were captured by the Wildsea Royal Clan and forced to mine Purple Crystal Divine Stone under strict surveillance. They considered escape, but their sealed Origins and tracking handcuffs made their options perilous.

• Zhuo YongQiang warned the captured Thousand Sails Tomb prisoners that their handcuffs tracked them and threatened to kill anyone who tried to escape.

• Demon Illusion Fairy blamed Jiang Ping An for her capture, while Jiang Ping An reminded her that their past encounters had brought him danger.
• Jiang Ping An explained that guards and handcuffs made escape nearly impossible, and Demon Illusion Fairy suggested using a Teleportation Array.
• Jiang Ping An said they could not build a Teleportation Array without breaking their sealed Origins, which would alert the guards.

Jiang Ping An and the other captives were sent to work in a mine controlled by the Wildsea Royal Clan, where Cave Devil Worms had killed miners, overseers, and puppets. He volunteered to clear the battle site, hoping to acquire the broken puppets for an escape plan, but the chapter ended with an overseer noticing that several puppets and corpses were missing.

• Demon Illusion Fairy identified their captors as the Wildsea Royal Clan, and Jiang Ping An resolved to destroy the clan for its suspected connection to his loved ones' killer.

• Jiang Ping An spotted broken puppets that might help them escape, then hid three pieces of Purple Crystal Divine Stone from a corpse before an overseer whipped him into returning them.
• After the miners cleared the cave, an overseer noticed that several puppets and corpses were missing.

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy secretly recovered two damaged mining puppets and planned to repair them so the puppets could draw a Teleportation Array to help them escape. After entering Demon Illusion Fairy’s inner world to work undetected, Jiang Ping An discovered that both puppets’ Soul Stones had shattered completely.

• Jiang Ping An opened the puppets and found that both of their Soul Stones had completely shattered.

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy struggled to find a way to escape after discovering the puppets’ Soul Stones were shattered. After the mine imposed harsher quotas and whipping punishments, Demon Illusion Fairy suggested creating souls for replacement puppets, giving Jiang Ping An a sudden new idea.

• Jiang Ping An explained that the shattered Soul Stones made the puppets unusable and that their Handcuffs prevented them from controlling the puppets with Mental Power.
• Jiang Ping An repaired the puppets’ bodies while Demon Illusion Fairy mined, and they waited for Cave Devil Worms to cause damage that might offer an escape opportunity.

• Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy were whipped for failing to submit enough stones, and Jiang Ping An carried her back into the mine.
• Demon Illusion Fairy revealed she had found a Cave Devil Worm nest but had held back from provoking it, then asked whether Jiang Ping An could create souls for puppets.
• Jiang Ping An realized he could create souls for the puppets and sprang up, accidentally tossing Demon Illusion Fairy to the ground.

The puppet learned to repair itself, while Jiang Ping An continued mining and his incarnation studied Teleportation Arrays to aid his escape.

• Jiang Ping An's Undying Demon Bone incarnation received several Teleportation Array blueprints from Lan Huaichuan and studied array formations while Jiang Ping An mined purple crystal divine stone.

Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy secretly prepared a random Teleportation Array to escape the mine, hiding their work behind a barrier that concealed its energy fluctuations. When an overseer discovered they had not emerged to hand in their stones, he entered the tunnel alone to confront them.

• Zhuo YongQiang executed Pang Lin and four other captured escapees, then threatened the miners and promised meat to those who met their quotas.

• When the next collection day arrived, an overseer found Jiang Ping An and Demon Illusion Fairy still inside the tunnel and stormed in alone to confront them.

• Jiang Ping An killed the overseer who came looking for him, took his whip, and broke his Handcuffs and Identity Token.
• Jiang Ping An ordered Puppet First Generation to activate the Teleportation Array as the overseers realized the miners were escaping.

Jiang Ping An escaped his pursuers and broke the seal on his Yin-Yang Divine Source, then joined Demon Illusion Fairy in discovering a Purple Crystal Divine Stone Mountain guarded by a sleeping Cave Devil Worm.

• Demon Illusion Fairy gave Jiang Ping An her God Source Stones so he could prepare a Teleportation Array for their escape.

• The State Lord sensed Demon Illusion Fairy's flower spy and crushed it, but she severed her consciousness link before he discovered her.
• Demon Illusion Fairy feared the experts knew about the mountain, but Jiang Ping An reassured her and told her to prepare for their plan.

Zhuo Wei broke free and struck Jiang Ping An with his strongest saber technique, leaving Demon Illusion Fairy convinced that Jiang Ping An was finished.

• Zhuo Wei healed from Jiang Ping An's kick, drew his Divine Saber, and pursued him while Jiang Ping An fled to avoid a prolonged fight near the God Tribulation Realm battle.

• The Blade Intent blasted Jiang Ping An amid a devastating explosion, and Demon Illusion Fairy watched in despair, believing he could not survive.

After Jiang Ping An killed the Patrol Team with his Mental Power, Demon Illusion Fairy fled, leaving Zhuo Wei in his grasp.

• Zhuo Wei struck Jiang Ping An with the Golden Wind Blade, but Jiang Ping An climbed out of the resulting fissure alive despite his injuries.

Hidden beneath a Purple Crystal Divine Stone Mountain, he discovered that the eye on his Divine Soul Tree let him see laws beyond his cultivation realm and named it the World Eye.

• Jiang Ping An killed Zhuo Wei and absorbed the Seven-Colored Light Sphere, breaking through to the middle stage of the God Comprehension Realm.

• Jiang Ping An used the eye on his Divine Soul Tree to see the laws within Heavenly Star Trueflame and named the eye the World Eye.

Jiang Ping An used the World Eye to accelerate his cultivation while hiding in the Illusion Mist Forest as the Mining Area’s experts fought a Cave Devil Worm. After mastering the God Burning Blade Art and Pseudo Shadow Kill Technique, he tried to escape but was detected by five gods.

• Jiang Ping An learned that using the World Eye to comprehend higher-level laws consumed dangerous amounts of Mental Power, then focused on second-tier Extreme Sun Divine Dao Laws and the God Burning Blade Art.

• An old god drew his Divine Sword and swept it across the ground, taunting the hidden Jiang Ping An.

Jiang Ping An used his Shadow Clone to evade five mine patrolmen, but Zhuo Rong detected him and pursued him. She ordered Zhuo KaiXuan to attack the shadow with fire, leaving Jiang Ping An facing a counter to his technique.

• Jiang Ping An's Shadow Clone swallowed the fire attacks, then used Shadow Kill to destroy Zhuo KaiXuan's shadow and body before swallowing the remains.
• Zhuo Rong summoned Kong Yang for help, and he arrived and agreed to severely injure the fleeing Shadow Clone.

• Kong Yang drew a Second-Order Top-Grade Divine Saber and struck at Jiang Ping An's Shadow Clone.
