Chapter Summaries

After Ling Wuyuan returned to [Ice Mist Snow Island], the others marveled at his rapid advance to the [Void Glimpse Realm], while he privately reaffirmed his determination to follow his own path. He adjusted his plans for [Void Mist Sea], aiming to seize the [True Abundant Spirit Realm] and [Illusory Color Extreme Profound Heaven] as foundations for eventually reaching the [Supreme Path].

• Su Qingyue and the Grand Elders examined Ling Wuyuan and marveled at his stable [Void Glimpse Realm] after his rapid advancement.
• Ling Wuyuan privately resolved that Ji Yinghan's inheritance would serve only as a reference and that he would control his own cultivation path.

• Ling Wuyuan recognized that reaching the [Fate Defiance Realm] was necessary before [Void Mist Sea] could help him interfere in the [Black Omen Battlefield].

Ling Wuyuan reviewed his plans for growing stronger and establishing himself, while Void Mist Sea continued to develop in the Black Omen Battlefield. After learning more about Ji Yinghan’s inheritance and the Supreme Path, Ling Wuyuan understood Ji Yinghan’s desperate choice but believed his own talent gave him other ways to reach the pinnacle.

• Void Mist Sea prioritized rapid growth in the Black Omen Battlefield, using Torrent of Destiny to evade danger while trying not to attract powerful enemies.
• Ling Wuyuan laid out his goals: build a faction, reach the Fate Defiance Realm, take control of two realms, and ultimately reach the Dominion Realm.

• Ling Wuyuan recognized that unlike Ji Yinghan, he still had other paths to the Dominion Realm and did not need to gamble everything on the Supreme Path.
• Ling Wuyuan felt confident he could master Ji Yinghan’s difficult arts and methods, thanks to his talent and The Strong Remain Strong.

Ling Wuyuan reflected on how The Strong Remain Strong had raised his talent across every field, then experimented with strengthening the Space-Time Shields surrounding him. He easily improved their power by embedding formation barriers, though the risks and difficulty of the technique were formidable for other Void Glimpse Realm cultivators.

• Ling Wuyuan recognized that The Strong Remain Strong enhanced his talent in every field and had made studying higher-realm cultivation techniques remarkably easy.
• Ling Wuyuan regretted Ji Yinghan's desperate attempt to enter the Supreme Path while lacking the strength and talent he needed.
• Several days later, Ling Wuyuan examined the Space-Time Shields that surrounded him as a Void Glimpse Realm cultivator.
• Ling Wuyuan treated the Space-Time Shields as specialized Artificial Grotto-Heavens and tried to strengthen them by filling them with formation barriers.
• Ling Wuyuan steadily increased the shields' power, despite the energy demands and danger that made the technique difficult for other cultivators.

Ling Wuyuan refined his Space-Time Shield and began combining multiple shields into a defensive formation. When Su Qingyue found him, she discovered he had formed the Ark of Protection, a vessel that hid his true body in a space-time crack and let him observe the main timeline.

• Ling Wuyuan used his knowledge and Ji Yinghan’s secret arts to strengthen his Space-Time Shield thousands of times.
• After half an hour, Ling Wuyuan’s shield became strong enough to withstand attacks from most Void Glimpse Realm cultivators, and he began designing a more efficient layered defense.
• Ling Wuyuan arranged multiple Space-Time Shields into an Ark of Spacetime that concealed his main body beyond the material plane.
• Su Qingyue sensed the structure and asked Ling Wuyuan about it, and he said he was studying existing secret arts before creating one suited to himself.
• Ling Wuyuan named his technique the Ark of Protection and said it came from an inheritance he had obtained.
• Su Qingyue recalled that Ling Wuyuan had shared Ji Yinghan’s lower-level techniques and knowledge with her and the others.

After discussing the plan for the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea, Ling Wuyuan ordered an immediate lockdown and surveillance.

• Su Qingyue and the others used Ji Yinghan’s knowledge to study new cultivation methods and improve their understanding of the Heavenly Position Realm.
• Yan Manyan and at least three quarters of the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion’s Void Glimpse Realm cultivators entered seclusion to study the materials.
• Ling Wuyuan remained the strongest cultivator in the Silver Mist Sea Domain and its surrounding Domains after suppressing his rapidly rising strength.
• Su Qingyue observed that Ling Wuyuan was rapidly mastering the Ark of Protection secret art.
• Su Qingyue asked when they would seal off the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea, and Ling Wuyuan ordered them to act as soon as possible and kill anyone who entered without permission.

Ling Wuyuan arranged to seal the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea so he could protect his future plans, and Su Qingyue organized the evacuation of nearby residents and forces. Ling Wuyuan and ten Void Glimpse Realm Grand Elders set out to begin building the barrier, a project expected to take at least two years.

• Ling Wuyuan decided that the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion must seal off the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea and strengthen its protections over time.
• Su Qingyue said she had ordered nearby forces and residents to evacuate and would use force against anyone who resisted.
• Su Qingyue offered ten Grand Elders to help Ling Wuyuan build the barrier, and he accepted their assistance.

• Ling Wuyuan and ten Void Glimpse Realm Grand Elders departed for the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea as material preparations and evacuations began.

The [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] advanced its plan to make the [Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea] a forbidden zone, while Sang Feng and other observers wondered how it would handle public opposition. Ling Wuyuan suddenly acted against the dissenter, and Sang Feng reflected on the Pavilion’s history and Su Qingyue’s rise.

• The [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] made progress on enclosing the [Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea] and relocating its residents, despite some people resisting its demands.
• A powerful expert nearing the [Void Glimpse Realm] openly opposed the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion], hoping to uphold his principles and strengthen his chances of advancing.
• Observers debated whether the [Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion] would punish the dissenter and whether Ling Wuyuan’s potential justified pledging loyalty to him while he remained in the [True Form Realm].
• Ling Wuyuan appeared without warning and moved against the dissenter, shifting the observers’ attention to him.
• Sang Feng recalled how Su Qingyue had risen from the [Spirit Infusion Realm] to the [Void Glimpse Realm] while many of her once-competing contemporaries had stalled.

Sang Feng watched the Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea from Songhai Mountain Island and wondered what the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion was planning. A voice from an unseen arrival answered him, warning that it was none of his concern.

• Sang Feng reflected on the powerful Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion figures who had vanished from public view and prepared himself to meet one of them.
• Sang Feng observed the distant Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea, whose barriers were making it increasingly difficult to see.
• Local factions gathered behind Sang Feng, hoping to negotiate better relocation terms while fearing a clash with the pavilion.
• An unknown voice answered Sang Feng that the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion's plans were not something he should concern himself with.

Sang Feng was astonished when Ling Wuyuan appeared alone before him, and he questioned why Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion would let its young genius take such a risk. The hidden Void Glimpse Realm cultivators saw that Ling Wuyuan was protected by countless Space-Time Shields and radiated power so immense that it could have destroyed Songhai Mountain Island.

• Sang Feng sensed a voice behind him but could not detect the speaker’s approach.
• Sang Feng turned and recognized Ling Wuyuan, wondering why Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion had sent him to face a Heart Domain Realm cultivator.
• Sang Feng recalled Ling Wuyuan’s extraordinary combat record and worried that the young genius had exposed himself to danger by leaving Ice Mist Snow Island.
• The hidden Void Glimpse Realm cultivators observed countless Space-Time Shields surrounding Ling Wuyuan and did not dare harbor killing intent toward him.
• The observers sensed that Ling Wuyuan’s overflowing power could have crushed Songhai Mountain Island and everyone on it if the shields had not contained it.

After a year and a half of refining his power and techniques, Ling Wuyuan developed the early framework of [Mist Realm to Heavenly Palace], a space-time secret art that gathered his aura and embodied dominion. Facing Sang Feng, he explained that he had appeared simply because he had time and warned him to bear the risks of opposing them.

• Over a year and a half of formation work and cultivation pushed Ling Wuyuan’s already immense attributes to even greater heights.
• Ling Wuyuan created [Mist Realm to Heavenly Palace], a secret art that gathered his overflowing power and isolated him from surrounding space-time while emphasizing attack, suppression, and plunder.
• Ling Wuyuan’s concealed presence left Sang Feng unable to tell whether he was truly there or to touch the secret art surrounding him.
• Ling Wuyuan told Sang Feng that he had appeared because he happened to have time.
• Ling Wuyuan said Sang Feng had deliberately obstructed them and should be prepared to bear the risks.

Ling Wuyuan gave Sang Feng ten seconds to speak before killing him, then revealed his Void Glimpse Realm power by crushing the Songhai Mountain Island representatives. Sang Feng recognized the Space-Time Shield, and Ling Wuyuan confirmed his realm before striking at him.

• Ling Wuyuan told Sang Feng he would kill him and gave him ten seconds for last words, leaving Sang Feng bewildered by his sudden sense of impending death.
• Ling Wuyuan spared one Songhai Mountain Island representative to spread the news and killed the others with a distant attack.
• Sang Feng recognized the force that killed the representatives as the Void Glimpse Realm's Space-Time Shield and questioned how Ling Wuyuan had reached that realm.
• Ling Wuyuan confirmed that he was in the Void Glimpse Realm and struck at Sang Feng through the air.

Ling Wuyuan struck Sang Feng to demonstrate the overwhelming gap between their power, while Sang Feng unleashed everything and neared a breakthrough. Ling Wuyuan’s palm shattered Sang Feng’s counterattack and swallowed him, leaving Songhai Mountain Island facing the resulting shockwave.

• Sang Feng sensed that Ling Wuyuan’s attack would kill him and immediately evaded, mobilized his full power, and unleashed his secret arts and Innate Divine Ability.
• Sang Feng’s strength reached its peak, and he felt that surviving the fight would let him break through into the Void Glimpse Realm.
• Ling Wuyuan recognized Sang Feng’s imminent breakthrough but felt no reason to spare him, and he let his palm strike collide with Sang Feng’s counterattack.
• Ling Wuyuan’s strike effortlessly destroyed Sang Feng’s attack and swallowed him, while light and a shockwave erupted from Sang Feng’s location.

Ling Wuyuan killed Sang Feng and redirected the devastating force of the strike into a nearby spacetime interlayer, sparing Songhai Mountain Island. The resulting technique transformed the region’s appearance into a harmless, dreamlike spectacle, which Ling Wuyuan named Illusory Dream World.

• Ling Wuyuan shattered Sang Feng’s attack and killed him with a palm strike that destroyed his body and soul.
• The energy from Sang Feng’s death formed a spacetime singularity that threatened to wipe out Songhai Mountain Island.

He let one survivor believe the transformation was a three-day punishment, then watched as more than a dozen figures arrived to pay their respects.

• Ling Wuyuan recalled creating [Special Secret Art - Illusory Dream World] after Xi Xianlan remarked that she wished to see the sights from her dreams in reality.
• Ling Wuyuan explained that the art could make dreamlike sights and monsters seem real, though he had chosen not to harm those caught within its range.
• Ling Wuyuan noticed that the sole survivor believed the strange transformation was his punishment, so he told him it would last three days and warned him against repeating his offense.
• The survivor thanked Ling Wuyuan for his mercy and left to convey Ling Wuyuan's decree to the other victims.
• More than a dozen men and women appeared and bowed respectfully to Ling Wuyuan, accepting his authority despite not understanding why he was a Void Glimpse Realm cultivator.

Ling Wuyuan told the powerful factions of the Silver Mist Sea Domain that he would rule them and eventually unify the surrounding Domains. When Hua Peihan and the other Void Glimpse Realm cultivators felt the full force of his pressure, they abandoned their defiance and agreed.

• Hua Peihan of Purple Jade Blood Sword City asked Ling Wuyuan how he had advanced so quickly from the True Form Realm to the Void Glimpse Realm.
• Ling Wuyuan said he had truly been in the True Form Realm during the Yuting Martial Arts Tournament and had advanced rapidly since then.

• Ling Wuyuan released his pressure, distorting space-time and appearing as a spreading sea of deep-gray mist.
• Hua Peihan and the other Void Glimpse Realm cultivators feared they would die if they resisted, so they lowered their heads and agreed with Ling Wuyuan.

Ling Wuyuan revealed his overwhelming strength while confronting the surrounding Domains, making clear that he intended to unite them openly. He agreed to share knowledge of the [Heavenly Position Realm] with loyal subordinates who proved their value, prompting some cultivators to choose their allegiance.

• Ling Wuyuan realized his strength in the [Void Glimpse Realm] made him powerful enough to act openly across the [Silver Mist Sea Domain] and nearby Domains.
• Ling Wuyuan took the task of dealing with Sang Feng from Su Qingyue and the others, who accepted that he was ready to reveal his strength.
• At [Songhai Mountain Island], Ling Wuyuan warped the space-time around the [Void Glimpse Realm] cultivators and used the [Illusory Dream World] to protect the island from the damage of his power.
• Ling Wuyuan told Hua Peihan and the other cultivators that they could either surrender or be subdued or eliminated, but none left immediately.
• A cultivator asked whether Ling Wuyuan would share the mysteries of the [Heavenly Position Realm] with willing subordinates after his advancement, and Ling Wuyuan agreed if they demonstrated loyalty and value.
• Some of the [Void Glimpse Realm] cultivators made their decisions after hearing Ling Wuyuan's answer.

Ling Wuyuan accepted the loyalty of cultivators seeking the mysteries of the [Heavenly Position Realm], while proud challengers, including Ke Angju, insisted on testing him. He warned them and struck all of them at once with a punch that bypassed space and shattered their defenses.

• Ling Wuyuan's punch shattered their Space-Time Shields and distorted their bodies and souls.

Ling Wuyuan effortlessly defeated Ke Angju and the other challengers by sending them through space-time holes without killing them. Ke Angju emerged sealed and helpless near his companion, who went to assist him.

• Ling Wuyuan warped Ke Angju and the other challengers into space-time holes, overwhelming them without killing them.
• The onlookers saw Ling Wuyuan's strength and increasingly chose to submit rather than challenge him.
• Earlier, Ke Angju ignored his companion's warning and traveled to Songhai Mountain Island, boasting that his secret art would defeat Ling Wuyuan.
• Ke Angju was sent back through a space-time hole and landed motionless beside his companion, asking for help because his body and soul were sealed.
• Ke Angju's companion dismissed his boasts and stepped forward to help him.

Ling Wuyuan effortlessly defeated Ke Angju and the other challengers, then returned to the [Deadly Silent Deep Shadow Sea], where he and Cang Qingqing were nearing completion of the formation barrier.
