Chapter Summaries

Qi Dong forced several hundred Spirits to enter the stone statue’s trials, hoping one would obtain medicine or the legacy to save his life. Jiang Ping An began the first trial and considered whether to pursue the legacy, despite the danger Qi Dong posed.

• Qi Dong demanded that each Spirit exchange a treasure from the stone statue for him and explained that the statue held three trials and a powerful legacy.
• Qi Dong used his power to make the Spirits shed blood on the statue, sending their consciousness into another space, then went back into a life-preserving slumber.
• Jiang Ping An faced a White-Robed Man armed with seven Divine Swords in the first trial and shattered every sword without being hurt.
• Jiang Ping An pretended to let the White-Robed Man attack while weighing whether to complete the trials or gamble on taking the legacy before Qi Dong could claim it.

Jiang Ping An passed the First Trial and obtained a Fifth-Order Healing Pill, which Qi Dong seized and consumed. Liu Xi secretly organized the gods to attempt a group escape during the next trial, while more failed participants turned to stone.

• Jiang Ping An declined to pursue the legacy after receiving no response from the space and swallowed the White-Robed Man to replenish his divine power.
• Jiang Ping An completed the First Trial and returned to the palace, where Qi Dong demanded that he exchange his reward for Healing Sacred Medicine.
• The divine statue produced a Fifth-Order Healing Pill, and Qi Dong took it and began refining it.
• Liu Xi secretly told Jiang Ping An that the wounded Qi Dong was keeping them there for the legacy and proposed that they escape together after the next trial.
• Jiang Ping An saw several gods who had failed the trials turn into stone statues as Qi Dong forced successful participants to surrender their healing pills.

Qi Dong explained the Second Trial and offered to guide survivors through the Third Trial in exchange for a Healing Pill. Jiang Ping An entered the simulated three-month war, where he fought with ease while cultivating, as Qi Dong worried that few of the other Spirits would survive.

• After the First Trial ended, Qi Dong told the survivors they could leave after the Second Trial or seek his guidance for a chance at the inheritance.
• Qi Dong promised to keep his distance and let the Spirits leave, and their desire for the inheritance led them to begin the Second Trial.
• Jiang Ping An awoke on a brutal battlefield and discovered that the trial restricted his use of powerful treasures.
• Jiang Ping An casually defeated and absorbed Divine Power Realm attackers while devoting much of his attention to comprehending the Primordial Dao Domain.
• Qi Dong saw that several participants had already become Stone Men and feared that fewer than one-tenth would pass the Second Trial.

During the Second Trial, Jiang Ping An discovered a scroll that exchanged knowledge through karma power. He sacrificed the knowledge and memories of the God Realm experts he had devoured and gained the remaining understanding of the Fifth Layer of the Heaven Mending Art.

• Jiang Ping An defeated a wounded woman who used a golden scroll, then seized it with his shadow clone.
• Jiang Ping An read the scroll’s rules and decided to test its knowledge exchange within the Illusionary Realm.
• Jiang Ping An’s World Eye warned him that the exchange could become real, so he chose to sacrifice the knowledge and memories of the God Realm experts he had devoured.
• The scroll’s karma chains removed those memories and granted Jiang Ping An understanding of the remaining Fifth Layer of the Heaven Mending Art.
• Jiang Ping An realized the exchange had truly worked and felt relieved that he had not sacrificed his understanding of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Laws.

After surviving the Second Trial, Jiang Ping An left the palace rather than risk competing for its legacy, taking two stone statues with him. Outside, he killed two Sawtooth Sharks with a soul attack and revealed that his Soul Force had not been drained by the trial.

• Jiang Ping An decided to leave the palace, judging the legacy too risky to pursue, and swallowed the stone statues of two God Tribulation Realm gods into his Devouring Space.
• Fewer than thirty survivors emerged from the Second Trial, and many chose to exchange their rewards for a chance to leave while others waited to see whether Qi Dong would attack them.
• Jiang Ping An used his reward to leave the palace and appeared in a dark sea among the other departing gods.
• Two Sawtooth Sharks surrounded Jiang Ping An under Sha Zhuang's orders, while the other gods fled rather than intervene.
• Jiang Ping An revealed that he had used no Soul Force during the trial and instantly killed both Sawtooth Sharks with a soul attack.

Jiang Ping An escaped the Yellow Light, returned to Taiyi Palace with Yan Qiuyue, and advanced to the Divine Power Realm Mid-stage. As he began strengthening his mental talent, Yan Qiuyue learned that Taiyi Palace was in financial trouble.

• Jiang Ping An killed two Sawtooth Sharks, took their corpses and divine artifacts, and advanced to the Divine Power Realm Mid-stage.
• Jiang Ping An used the Space Teleportation Mirror to return to the sunken ship and released Yan Qiuyue from his inner world.
• Jiang Ping An and Yan Qiuyue left the Blood Coral Battlefield and returned to Taiyi Palace, where Yan Qiuyue promised to ask the Grand Elder about a Primordial Divine Object.
• Jiang Ping An used the Comprehension Seed to strengthen his mental talent, causing his mutated World Eye to begin changing.
• Yan Qiuyue met Zhuang Liang and learned that Taiyi Palace was struggling financially, while Zhuang Liang congratulated her on breaking through to the God Realm.

Yan Qiuyue asked Zhuang Liang for permission to share information about Taiyi Palace’s Primordial Divine Object with Jiang Ping An, who had protected her while she broke through. After receiving the information and the sect’s offer to trade the object for a fifth-order Calamity Transformation Pill or auction it in three years, she faced sharply reduced cultivation rewards and resolved to seek resources in the Blood Coral Battlefield so she could avenge her younger brother.

• Yan Qiuyue told Zhuang Liang that Jiang Ping An had protected her Dao and asked whether she could repay him by sharing Taiyi Palace’s information about its Primordial Divine Object.
• Zhuang Liang gave Yan Qiuyue a paper describing the object and said Jiang Ping An could exchange a fifth-order Calamity Transformation Pill for it or bid for it at an auction in three years.
• Zhuang Liang warned Yan Qiuyue not to seek revenge on the Seven Killings Sect while Taiyi Palace was in crisis, but she left before he finished.
• Yan Qiuyue learned that Taiyi Palace had reduced her breakthrough reward to a lower-grade Divine Artifact and half the usual God Source Stones because the sect’s income had fallen.
• Yan Qiuyue clenched her fists over her lack of resources, then decided to tell Jiang Ping An about the Primordial Divine Object and return to the Blood Coral Battlefield to obtain resources.

Jiang Ping An used his enhanced Mental Talent to create a Time Illusion Technique, allowing Yan Qiuyue to receive his gift on another timeline. Yan Qiuyue left with a Sawtooth Shark corpse, while Jiang Ping An realized his new soul technique could connect to time.

• Yan Qiuyue delivered Zhuang Liang’s note and told Jiang Ping An that Taiyi Palace would trade the Primordial Divine Object for a Calamity Transformation Pill or sell it at the Auction House in three years.
• Yan Qiuyue explained that she was heading to the Blood Coral Battlefield because she needed resources, and Jiang Ping An gave her a Storage Ring containing a Divine Power Realm Early-stage Sawtooth Shark corpse.
• Yan Qiuyue found herself back outside Jiang Ping An’s cabin with the Storage Ring, saw the blue butterfly alive, and bowed in gratitude before leaving.
• Jiang Ping An revealed that Yan Qiuyue had experienced events on another timeline through his Time Illusion Technique, which arose from his enhanced Mental Talent.

Jiang Ping An learned that Taiyi Palace would trade its Primordial Seven-Colored Stone for a Calamity Transformation Pill, so he asked Ning WuQue for help locating one. In exchange for detailed information on the pill, he revealed that Yellow Light in the Blood Coral Battlefield contained a likely God King legacy.

• Jiang Ping An named his new fusion of time and illusion the Time Illusion Technique and considered its power and heavy energy cost.
• Jiang Ping An decided to obtain the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone by trading Taiyi Palace a Calamity Transformation Pill rather than risk competing at an auction three years later.
• Jiang Ping An contacted Ning WuQue, who explained that the Lan Clan Royal Family monopolized Calamity Transformation Pills in the Azure King's sea region.
• Jiang Ping An offered Ning WuQue intelligence about Yellow Light in exchange for more information about the pill.
• Jiang Ping An described the Headless Divine Statue's legacy within Yellow Light, and Ning WuQue reacted with surprise at the possibility that it was a God King legacy.

Jiang Ping An traded details of a God King legacy to Ning WuQue for help finding information about the Calamity Transformation Pill. He then completed the fifth enhancement of the Heaven Mending Art, transforming his Yin Yang Dao Body and strengthening its Devouring Power.

• Ning WuQue asked how Jiang Ping An knew about the legacy, and Jiang Ping An recounted his experience at the Legacy Ground and sent him the Stone Gate route.
• Ning WuQue promised to gather information about the Calamity Transformation Pill and contacted the God Kings of his family after receiving the route.
• Jiang Ping An decided to pursue his fifth enhancement and entered Devouring Space with an Energy Avatar standing guard.
• Jiang Ping An spent three months drawing Divine Runes, consuming his resources and the Sawtooth Shark corpses to complete the fifth layer of the Heaven Mending Art.
• The enhancement transformed Jiang Ping An's Yin Yang Dao Body, released a massive black-and-white Kun, and manifested a Taiji Diagram and a tentacled World Eye.

After completing the fifth enhancement of the Heaven Mending Art, Jiang Ping An reviewed intelligence about Calamity Transformation Pills but found no practical way to obtain one in time. He abandoned his plan to trade for the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone early and decided to save money for the auction in two and a half years.

• Jiang Ping An completed the Heaven Mending Art’s fifth enhancement, doubling his physical strength and stored divine power while fusing Devouring Power with Yin Yang Power.
• Jiang Ping An left his Undying Demon Bone clone cultivating in his inner world and checked the messages Ning WuQue had sent during his seclusion.
• Jiang Ping An learned that a God Tribulation Realm expert had seized the God King inheritance before the Ning Family could claim it.
• Jiang Ping An reviewed thousands of leads on Calamity Transformation Pills and judged the auction, the vanished alchemy apprentices, and Lan Shi'er’s pills too difficult or risky to pursue.
• Jiang Ping An gave up on obtaining a Calamity Transformation Pill early and chose to save money for the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone auction.

Jiang Ping An planned to use the Heaven Mending Art to earn enough resources to buy the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone at an auction, but he had to account for the costs and dangers of selling enhanced divine artifacts. He reserved a cultivation facility with a tenfold Time Array and left to sell items for God Source Stones.

• Jiang Ping An calculated that repeatedly strengthening and trading divine artifacts could earn resources, but strengthening costs, limited time, and the risk of being targeted made the plan difficult.
• Jiang Ping An decided to limit his artifacts to fourth-tier top-grade and sell through multiple shops to avoid attracting suspicion.
• Jiang Ping An asked a shop owner at Taiyi Treasure Pavilion about renting a cultivation facility with a tenfold Time Array for two and a half years.
• The owner quoted three billion Top-Grade God Source Stones, and Jiang Ping An reserved a facility before leaving to sell items and obtain the funds.
• After Jiang Ping An left, the owner refused the maid's requests to buy luxuries because Taiyi Palace's benefits had decreased and he wanted to save money.

Jiang Ping An rented a secluded island and spent months strengthening the Three-Pronged Halberd, then sold it through the Freedom Alliance’s Refining Pavilion. He left with thirty bottles of Refined Coral Juice and a First-Order Enlightenment Pill.

• Jiang Ping An traded unused divine artifacts and Sawtooth Shark corpses for fifty-three bottles of Refined Coral Juice, keeping two valuable statues for future forging.
• Jiang Ping An rented a protected cultivation island for two and a half years, activated its barrier, and checked the palace for surveillance arrays.
• Jiang Ping An used the Heaven Mending Art to strengthen the Three-Pronged Halberd four times until it became an upper-grade fourth-order divine artifact.
• Jiang Ping An sent a disguised Shadow Clone to sell the halberd at the Freedom Alliance’s Refining Pavilion rather than at Taiyi Palace.
• Jiang Ping An negotiated a price of three billion forty million God Source Stones, receiving thirty bottles of Refined Coral Juice and a First-Order Enlightenment Pill.

After sensing greed from a Refining Pavilion expert, Jiang Ping An sold enhanced items through Shadow Clones and spent years saving for a Two-Gate God King Level Divine Artifact. He learned that Taiyi Palace’s upcoming auction would include the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone he needed.

• A goateed Refining Master used the Refining Pavilion’s array to discover that Jiang Ping An had sent a Shadow Clone to sell a fourth-tier high-grade divine artifact, then abandoned his plan to investigate further.
• Jiang Ping An’s Shadow Clone sensed the Refining Master’s greed, scattered into incarnations, and kept the items and Jiang Ping An’s identity safe.
• Jiang Ping An spent two and a half years outside the Time Array enhancing items and selling them through Shadow Clones, sometimes abandoning resources to escape God Core Realm pursuers.
• Jiang Ping An saved enough to buy a Two-Gate God King Level Divine Artifact, then learned from the shop owner that Taiyi Palace would hold an auction in one month.
• Jiang Ping An examined the auction list and saw that it included nine fourth-tier top-grade divine swords, a fifth-tier cultivation method, and the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone.

Jiang Ping An prepared for Taiyi Palace’s auction and watched its first two lots sell for enormous sums, growing anxious about whether his resources would be enough for the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone. The auctioneer unveiled the stone, leaving the bidding about to begin.

• Jiang Ping An reviewed the auction lots, then carved out an undersea cave and cultivated while waiting for the auction to begin.
• A month later, Jiang Ping An disguised himself, passed the auction’s asset verification, and took a private room at Taiyi Palace.
• The auctioneer opened proceedings, and bidders bought nine top-grade fourth-grade Divine Swords for thirty-eight billion God Source Stones.
• Bidding for a fifth-grade wood-element cultivation method climbed to nearly a thousand bottles of Refined Coral Juice, making Jiang Ping An worry about his chances.
• The auctioneer unveiled the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone, bathing the hall in seven-colored light.

Jiang Ping An bid on the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone because he needed it to comprehend the Primordial True Martial Scripture, despite Ni Daoyu’s attempt to claim it cheaply. Their contest escalated when Ni Daoyu challenged Jiang Ping An’s wealth, and the bidding remained unresolved.

• The auctioneer introduced the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone and began bidding at ten billion Top-Grade God Source Stones or one hundred bottles of Refined Coral Juice.
• Ni Daoyu bid one hundred and one bottles after discouraging others from competing, hoping to acquire the stone as a gift for his superior.
• Jiang Ping An bid one hundred and ten bottles, determined to obtain the stone for his cultivation.
• Ni Daoyu used his Divine Sense to identify Jiang Ping An’s cultivation and threatened him, but Jiang Ping An rebuked his conduct.
• Ni Daoyu raised the bid to five hundred bottles of Refined Coral Juice and challenged Jiang Ping An to outbid him.

Jiang Ping An won the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone from Ni Daoyu and left Taiyi Palace to escape his retaliation. He tricked Ni Daoyu into chasing an illusion through the Teleportation Array, then reappeared and reflected on his Time Illusion Technique.

• Jiang Ping An outbid Ni Daoyu with nine hundred and fifty bottles of Refined Coral Juice and won the Primordial Seven-Colored Stone.
• The auctioneer warned Jiang Ping An that Ni Daoyu would likely retaliate, but Jiang Ping An accepted the stone and left the auction hall.
• Jiang Ping An headed for the Teleportation Array and traveled toward the Blood Coral Battlefield while Ni Daoyu followed, intent on killing him and taking the stone.
• Jiang Ping An used his Time Illusion Technique to make Ni Daoyu believe he had entered the Teleportation Array, then reappeared beside it and assessed how the technique had fooled a God Core Realm powerhouse.

Jiang Ping An fled from Ni Daoyu and hid in a sea trench, where he discovered and rapidly mined a Blood Coral Mine. As he refined the ore, members of the Seven Killings Sect arrived and decided to kill him and seize his haul.

• Jiang Ping An escaped through a Teleportation Array, traveled for three days, and hid in a sea trench to cultivate the Primordial Dao Domain.
• Jiang Ping An carved a cave into the trench wall and discovered a rich deposit of Blood Coral.
• Jiang Ping An used his Devouring Power and Black-White Kunfish to mine the Blood Coral, filling most of his storage spaces.
• Jiang Ping An began refining the mined ore and sensed a Golden Divine Ship approaching.
• The Seven Killings Sect members spotted Jiang Ping An and the Blood Coral Mine, then planned to kill him and take his ore.

Jiang Ping An killed Duan Xiangxuan and the Seven Killings Sect crew aboard their warship after they tried to attack him, then fought the reinforcements led by her brother, Duan Liujie. After tricking Duan Liujie with an illusion and severely injuring him, Jiang Ping An turned to face all four pursuing experts.

• Duan Xiangxuan ordered the Golden Warship's spirit cannon to fire at Jiang Ping An, but his Reincarnation mental attack killed everyone aboard except her.
• Jiang Ping An exposed Duan Xiangxuan's lie about the mining area's ownership and killed her, then took the warship and its corpses into his Devouring Space.
• Duan Liujie and three other Divine Power Realm experts caught up with Jiang Ping An, and Duan Liujie attacked him in revenge for his sister.
• Jiang Ping An used an illusion to appear as Duan Liujie's subordinate Huo Hua, then punched Duan Liujie and seized his Divine Sword.
• Jiang Ping An kicked off from the shattered undersea mountain and charged toward Duan Liujie and the three other experts.

Jiang Ping An battled Duan Liujie underwater, enduring his sword attacks and wounding him before apparently being killed by the fourth form of the Startling Swan Sword Art. Jiang Ping An then reappeared, disarmed and wounded Duan Liujie, who realized the death he had witnessed was an illusion.

• Duan Liujie attacked Jiang Ping An with the Startling Swan Sword Art, but Jiang Ping An's Demon Bone Armor and tough body let him survive.
• Jiang Ping An fought back with Primordial Qi and shattered Duan Liujie's shoulder with a punch.
• Duan Liujie struck Jiang Ping An with the fourth form of the Startling Swan Sword Art, and the apparent victim dissolved into blood in the seawater.
• The woman among Duan Liujie's companions suddenly severed his sword arm, allowing Jiang Ping An to take his Divine Sword and attack him with a Bone Blade.
• Duan Liujie formed a new arm and sword, then realized Jiang Ping An had used an illusion.
