Chapter Summaries

Yu Linglong explained that she needed to escape the Netherworld Sea before her next heavenly tribulation, and pledged herself to Fang Xiao in exchange for his help. As they searched for two inheritances he needed, they realized the Ascension Platform refining method was likely among the inheritances with concealed names.

• Yu Linglong told Fang Xiao that her Netherworld Body would bring another deadly heavenly tribulation when she advanced to the Fifth Order, leaving her unable to safely remain in the Netherworld Sea.
• Fang Xiao inferred that Yu Linglong’s constitution had given her access to most inheritance information, and offered to take her from the Netherworld Sea if she found two inheritances for him.
• Yu Linglong swore a Dao Vow of loyalty to Fang Xiao and agreed to help locate a method that could transform extreme yin and pure yang constitutions into their opposites.
• Fang Xiao asked Yu Linglong to find an inheritance for refining an Ascension Platform, but she said she had not seen that name among the inheritances she knew.
• Yu Linglong revealed that the remaining ten percent of inheritances had concealed names and unusually strict acquisition requirements, and Fang Xiao concluded the Ascension Platform method was among them.
• Fang Xiao told Yu Linglong to take him to the concealed-name inheritances.

Fang Xiao learned that the hidden Inheritance Pillar would appear in one year, four months, and thirteen days, then revealed his plan to collect the entire Ice Dao Inheritance Land with his Small World. His Spirit Gourd began enveloping the land, while Yu Linglong watched in astonishment.

• Fang Xiao pressured Yu Linglong until she explained that the special inheritances were stored in a hidden Inheritance Pillar that appeared once every ten years for one hour.
• Yu Linglong told Fang Xiao the pillar would next appear in one year, four months, and thirteen days, at the third quarter of the dragon hour.
• Fang Xiao said they could examine the inheritances after leaving the place, leaving Yu Linglong puzzled about how he could move the pillars.
• Fang Xiao tossed a Spirit Gourd into the air and used it to envelop the entire Inheritance Land, revealing his intention to collect it with his Small World.
• Yu Linglong recognized the gourd as a spatial treasure, while Fang Xiao watched the array tendrils extending through the land and considered the difficulty of collecting it.

Fang Xiao dissolved the arrays restraining the Inheritance Land, stored it in his Small World, and ordered Yu Linglong to gather its inheritances. As he escaped the collapsing Heavenly Yin Cold Soul Array, he encountered the Netherworld Sea’s Lord, a half-step Void Refining existence that demanded he accept a slave seal.

• Fang Xiao used Azure Cloud to dissolve the array patterns binding the Inheritance Land and sever its connection to the Heavenly Yin Cold Soul Array.
• Fang Xiao stored the Inheritance Land in his Small World, placing it in the seas of Earth Star, and instructed Yu Linglong to collect its inheritances without leaving.
• Fang Xiao returned to the Heavenly Yin Cold Soul Array and realized that destroying its inner array patterns had left it on the verge of collapse.
• Fang Xiao encountered an enormous vertical eye at a fissure in the array, and he and the Unknown Existence both reacted with shock.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea recognized Fang Xiao as the one who had destroyed its malicious intent and demanded that he accept a slave seal or suffer the same fate as an Ice Soul Sect cultivator.

Fang Xiao confronted the Lord of the Netherworld Sea, survived its attack with the Divine Mountain, and learned that the Ice Soul Sect had supplied it with blood sacrifices in exchange for access to the Inheritance Land. The Lord demanded Fang Xiao hand over the Half-step Dao Artifact and submit to a slave mark, leaving their conflict unresolved.

• Fang Xiao recognized that Nan Kong had been controlled by the Lord of the Netherworld Sea and attacked it with a sword beam containing Dao trajectories.
• The Lord retaliated, but Fang Xiao blocked its strike with the Divine Mountain phantom and emerged unharmed as the Heavenly Yin Cold Soul Array shattered.
• Fang Xiao saw that the Lord was a crow-like creature, and the Lord recognized his Divine Mountain as a Half-step Dao Artifact.
• The Lord offered to spare Fang Xiao if he surrendered the artifact, accepted a slave mark, and provided blood sacrifices like the Ice Soul Sect.
• Fang Xiao realized the Ice Soul Sect had made an agreement with the Lord, and the chapter recounted how an enslaved ancestor had arranged the sacrifices in exchange for access to the Inheritance Land.

Fang Xiao discovered that the Netherworld Sea prevented him from escaping through space and guessed that it was the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s prison. As the two prepared to fight, the Lord recognized Fang Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate as Taibai Niansheng’s legacy and attacked in fury.

• The chapter explained how the Ice Soul Sect’s plans failed after Fang Xiao took the Primordial Magnetic Mother Ore and the sect stopped supplying blood food to the Lord of the Netherworld Sea.
• Fang Xiao tried to escape with the Void Cutter Sword, but the solidified Space Force in the Netherworld Sea prevented him from breaking space or shifting far.
• Fang Xiao guessed that the Netherworld Sea was a cage imprisoning the Lord, provoking the demon into a furious response.
• Fang Xiao summoned the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate and gathered Dao Slaying power to try to defeat the Lord quickly.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea recognized Fang Xiao as Taibai Niansheng’s successor, swore revenge, and lunged at him.

Fang Xiao and the Lord of the Netherworld Sea clashed amid a sea of blue demon flames, with Fang Xiao using his Divine Mountain and Primordial Immortal Light to counter the ancient demon’s attacks. The Divine Mountain struck the Lord of the Netherworld Sea and left him dazed, giving Fang Xiao’s dharma manifestation an opening to attack.

• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea set the Netherworld Sea ablaze with blue demon flames and swooped toward Fang Xiao.
• Fang Xiao sent the Divine Mountain flying at the Lord of the Netherworld Sea while he and his dharma manifestation charged behind it.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea summoned vast flocks of blue flame ravens to attack Fang Xiao.
• Fang Xiao used the Primordial Immortal Light to dissolve the ravens and hung up the Primordial Reflection Mirror to examine their abilities.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea struck the Divine Mountain away but was left dazed by the collision.
• Fang Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Immortal Venerate seized the opening and slashed at the Lord of the Netherworld Sea.

Fang Xiao killed what appeared to be the Lord of the Netherworld Sea, but the being vanished and left behind only a black bone and blue liquid. As Fang Xiao fled, the true Void Refining Lord rose from the Netherworld Sea, only to be restrained by the Chains of Rules, leaving Fang Xiao wondering how Taibai Ancestor had imprisoned him.

• Fang Xiao severed the Lord of the Netherworld Sea's head and wing with his sword, and the dying Lord expressed mockery and delight before disappearing.
• Fang Xiao collected the black bone and blue liquid left behind and suspected the Lord he had killed was an avatar of a genuine Void Refining being.
• Fang Xiao fled toward the Yin Energy vortex as the blue flames went out and the Netherworld Sea began to churn and rise.
• Fang Xiao sensed the true Lord of the Netherworld Sea rising beneath the waves and recognized the immense Dao Track power of a Void Refining cultivator.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea stopped near the surface, bound by the Chains of Rules, and Fang Xiao wondered how Taibai Ancestor had imprisoned him.

Fang Xiao realized Lord of the Netherworld Sea was trying to use his Dao Slaying power to break free of the Taichang Realm, but the sea sent three half-step Void Refining incarnations to block his escape. Unable to fight them or risk using the Great White Sword Pellet, Fang Xiao stalled Lord of the Netherworld Sea by asking whether its offer to spare him meant he would be free.

• Fang Xiao concluded that Lord of the Netherworld Sea wanted him to sever the Chains of Rules with his Dao Slaying power.
• As Fang Xiao fled toward the Yin Energy vortex, Lord of the Netherworld Sea split open and expelled three bones, each containing a half-step Void Refining incarnation.
• Fang Xiao realized he could not defeat the three incarnations with his current abilities and could not safely use the Great White Sword Pellet.
• Lord of the Netherworld Sea offered to spare Fang Xiao if he cooperated, and warned that it could still use his power if he died.
• Fang Xiao asked whether being spared would include freedom or whether Lord of the Netherworld Sea intended to control him.

Fang Xiao tried to learn about the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s True Spirit Essence Blood while refusing to accept a slave mark. Cornered by three incarnations and unable to find a safe escape, he heard an unexpected voice direct him due north.

• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea gave Fang Xiao half a day to decide whether to accept a slave mark as his incarnations continued to gather.
• Fang Xiao asked why the new incarnations lacked the blue spiritual flame, and the Lord explained that it came from Taiyin Youying’s True Spirit Essence Blood.
• The Lord described how the Essence Blood could aid anyone pursuing the Great Dao of Yin, and Fang Xiao learned about its extraordinary value.
• Fang Xiao asked how the Lord had entered the lower Taichang Realm without being forced out by the Chains of Rules, but the Lord avoided answering and demanded his decision.
• As three incarnations closed in, Fang Xiao weighed fighting against retreating into his Small World, then heard a voice tell him to go due north.

Fang Xiao fled north through the Netherworld Sea after Profound Origin detected a primordial magnetic disturbance, hoping it would offer a way to escape the Lord of the Netherworld Sea. He reached a vast nebula of Polar Primordial Light, while the Lord pursued him, convinced the place would reject Fang Xiao’s Dao Track.

• Profound Origin told Fang Xiao that a primordial magnetic disturbance lay directly north and might contend with the Lord of the Netherworld Sea.
• Fang Xiao fled north, and the enraged Lord sent his three incarnations after him while his true body struggled against the Chains of Rules.
• The Lord recognized the northern destination as an ancient object surrounded by star power and Primordial Magnetic Force, which had resisted even his attempts to approach it.
• Guided by Profound Origin, Fang Xiao reached a bright, nebula-like expanse and recognized it as Polar Primordial Light formed from Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale.

Fang Xiao entered a region of Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale to hide from the Lord of the Netherworld Sea and escape the Cold Abyss when the Polar Primordial Light erupted. Inside the primordial magnetic field, he awakened the power of the Star Dao Track and realized a heavenly treasure containing a genuine Dao Track lay within.

• Fang Xiao identified the region as a source of refined star power, a vast primordial magnetic field, and Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale that would eventually erupt as Polar Primordial Light.
• Fang Xiao planned to hide there until the eruption carried him out of the Netherworld Sea, with the option of triggering it early if the Lord of the Netherworld Sea caught up.
• Fang Xiao summoned the Five Elements Dao Wheel, instructed Profound Origin, and entered the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale without difficulty.
• Fang Xiao stepped into the primordial magnetic field, causing the Primordial Chaos Sword Dao Tracks within him to react as a powerful Star Dao Track force surged toward him.
• Fang Xiao withdrew from the field and concluded that a heavenly treasure containing a genuine Dao Track was hidden inside.

Fang Xiao used the Five Elements Dao Soldier to enter the primordial magnetic force field without triggering the Star Dao Track’s rejection, then pressed deeper toward its core. The Lord of the Netherworld Sea pursued him through successive incarnations, and the third incarnation lunged at Fang Xiao after the second sacrificed itself to create an opening.

• Fang Xiao confirmed that the Star Dao Track rejected Dao Track power and realized he could hide in his Small World while sending the Five Elements Dao Soldier ahead.
• Fang Xiao gave the Profound Yellow Spiritual Gourd to the Five Elements Dao Soldier, entered the Small World, and sent the Dao Soldier into the primordial magnetic force field.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea sent his three incarnations after Fang Xiao, whose Dao Track Projections were extracted as they entered the force field.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea used one incarnation to shield the others from the force field and gradually closed the distance to Fang Xiao.
• The first incarnation was ground away by stellar force, and the second exploded to halt the surrounding forces briefly.
• The third incarnation seized the opening and lunged toward Fang Xiao’s back.

Fang Xiao defeated the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s incarnation with Myriad Laws Born from the Sword, then returned to the Inheritance Land to check on Yu Linglong’s progress. The Lord of the Netherworld Sea planned to intercept him after the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale erupted, unaware that Fang Xiao intended to use the eruption to escape.

• Fang Xiao used Primordial Immortal Light to unleash Myriad Laws Born from the Sword, provoking the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s incarnation into a direct attack.
• Fang Xiao’s sword light pierced the incarnation’s Golden Crow True Form and defeated it, leaving the Lord of the Netherworld Sea shocked by his strength.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea planned to wait outside the primordial magnetic force field for the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale to expel Fang Xiao.
• Fang Xiao prepared to ride the Polar Primordial Light out of the force field, while waiting for the Five Elements Dao Soldier and restoring his strength.
• Fang Xiao teleported back to the Inheritance Land on Earth Star, where Yu Linglong waited with several items.

Fang Xiao examined three inheritances Yu Linglong had gathered for solving Yuan Chen’s yin-yang imbalance and rejected the first two as unsuitable. The third, an array that could balance opposing forces in the body, gave him new hope, and he pressed Yu Linglong to confirm its capabilities.

• Yu Linglong presented Fang Xiao with three inheritances related to pure yang and physique conversion.
• Yu Linglong explained that Reversing Heaven and Earth could reverse yin-yang physiques but required rare materials, carried great risks, and could only be used once.
• Yu Linglong described a crystalline pearl that could transfer yin-yang attribute origins, but Fang Xiao rejected it because it could not let Yuan Chen safely retain both yin and yang.
• Fang Xiao asked about the yin-yang jade pendant, and Yu Linglong explained that its Two Forms Genesis Great Array could balance and stabilize opposing factors within the body.
• Fang Xiao reacted with sudden hope and asked Yu Linglong to confirm whether the array could stabilize any opposing factors.

Fang Xiao realized the Two Forms Genesis Great Array might stabilize Yuan Chen’s spirit and demonic sides, and considered enhancing him further with yin and water origins. Yu Linglong explained the array’s requirements, then agreed to give up the attribute origin of her Nether Physique as Fang Xiao turned to finding a water-aspected spiritual root.

• Fang Xiao concluded that Yuan Chen’s half-demonized condition could make him a suitable subject for the Two Forms Genesis Great Array.
• Fang Xiao considered adding a yin-aspected origin and water-aspected spiritual root to Yuan Chen to balance his spirit and devil paths, yin and yang, and water and fire.
• Yu Linglong explained that the array needed ample spiritual qi and a central presence to suppress conflicts while it operated.
• Fang Xiao recognized Yu Linglong’s Nether Physique as a source of yin-aspected origin and asked her to give it up, promising to help her cultivate it again and reward her later.
• Yu Linglong agreed and began extracting her Nether Physique’s attribute origin as Fang Xiao wondered where to find a water-aspected spiritual root.

Fang Xiao refined a substitute spiritual root from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Silkworm’s Demon Core for Yuan Chen, then discovered a Star Fragment containing eight Star Dao Tracks at the center of the primordial magnetic field. He chose to leave it in place and prepare for the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale, while twelve pairs of the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s incarnations appeared above the Netherworld Sea.

• Fang Xiao decided that the Ten Thousand Year Cold Silkworm’s Demon Core could refine an ice-aspect spiritual root substitute for Yuan Chen, and began refining it inside the Two Forms Genesis Great Array.
• After more than half a month, Fang Xiao reached the center of the primordial magnetic field and found a black Star Fragment containing eight Star Dao Tracks.
• Fang Xiao decided not to collect the Star Fragment yet, so the primordial magnetic field could continue building toward the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale.
• Fang Xiao planned to accumulate Dao Slaying power and cultivate with the star power and Spirit Milk Wine while waiting for the gale to erupt.
• Twelve pairs of incarnations of the Lord of the Netherworld Sea appeared above the Netherworld Sea.

After six and a half years, Fang Xiao prepared for the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale to erupt, while the Five Elements Dao Soldier sent the Star Fragment into Fang Xiao’s Small World. The Star Fragment’s arrival stirred the world’s Star Dao, and Fang Xiao turned his attention back to the impending eruption outside.

• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea split off his soul to create twelve half-step Void Refining incarnations and sent them to block the Yin Energy vortex.
• Fang Xiao’s cultivation reached the peak of mid-stage Spirit Transformation, while Yuan Chen remained cocooned in silken threads after her treatment.
• Fang Xiao obtained the inheritance for refining an Ascension Platform by activating the space Dao Track Projection.
• The Five Elements Dao Soldier sent the Star Fragment toward Fang Xiao as the Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale neared its limit.
• Fang Xiao calmed the Small World’s turbulence and guided its Star Dao as the Star Fragment arrived.
• With the Star Fragment settled in the Small World, Fang Xiao turned his attention to the outside world and the impending eruption.

Fang Xiao followed the Polar Primordial Light across the Netherworld Sea toward the Yin Energy vortex, where he expected to escape the Small World. He discovered that the Lord of the Netherworld Sea had blocked the vortex with twelve powerful incarnations.

• The Star Fragment vanished, releasing the accumulated star power and Polar Primordial Magnetic Divine Gale in a massive eruption.
• Fang Xiao left the Small World and followed the Polar Primordial Light as it spread across the Netherworld Sea.
• The Netherworld Sea subsided and yielded to the Polar Primordial Light, allowing Fang Xiao to continue toward the Yin Energy vortex.
• Fang Xiao realized the Lord of the Netherworld Sea was waiting ahead and continued on despite suspecting an ambush.
• The Lord of the Netherworld Sea forced the Polar Primordial Light back, and Fang Xiao saw twelve incarnations guarding the Yin Energy vortex.
• Fang Xiao recognized that the twelve incarnations each wielded a powerful Dao Track Projection and stood firm against the Polar Primordial Light.

Fang Xiao failed to break through the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s defense with a combined strike of his sword, the Polar Primordial Light, and starlight. He then approached the twelve incarnations and began advancing to late-stage Deity Transformation, drawing a heavenly tribulation into the Netherworld Sea.

• Fang Xiao summoned the Primordial Chaos Sword Venerate and gathered his Dharma Aspects and Dao power to prepare a powerful sword strike.
• Fang Xiao combined his sword strike with the Polar Primordial Light and starlight, but the twelve incarnations remained unharmed.
• Fang Xiao saw through the Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s false opening and watched the incarnations’ Dao trajectory power heal.
• Fang Xiao abandoned his attempt to break through by force and walked toward the twelve incarnations.
• Fang Xiao told the Lord of the Netherworld Sea that he would borrow the Netherworld Sea to undergo his heavenly tribulation, and his bottleneck toward late-stage Deity Transformation began to open.

Fang Xiao refused Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s demands, leaving them locked in a stalemate as a heavenly fire tribulation descended. The Golden Crow Sacred Fire awakened Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s memories of his former life, and he accepted that he might finally die.

• Fang Xiao rejected Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s promises and insisted he either be freed or they both face death.
• The heavenly tribulation began as crimson-gold Ultimate Yang fire spread across the Netherworld Sea, fueled by its Netherworld power.
• Lord of the Netherworld Sea recognized the flames as the Golden Crow Sacred Fire.
• Lord of the Netherworld Sea’s past was revealed: Taibai Ancestor had slain him, and his corpse was transformed by the Netherworld Sea and Taiyin Youying’s Essence Blood into his current Demon Soul.
• Lord of the Netherworld Sea believed the Sacred Fire was punishment for abandoning his Golden Crow heritage and welcomed the prospect of death.
