Su Tu explored beneath the Bitter Sea and discovered a mysterious tablet that seemed to invite him to write his name, but his Mind Power ran out after he made only one stroke. He returned to the maglev train on the day he was due to report to Ancient Forest, where Liu Tianfang introduced himself.

• Su Tu reached the Bitter Sea’s invisible barrier and decided to investigate the depths beneath it instead of continuing to struggle forward.
• Su Tu plunged into the Bitter Sea, causing violent waves that extinguished one mind when it tried to follow him.
• Su Tu descended about one thousand meters and found a tablet bearing hidden names that called to him.
• Su Tu tried to write his name on the tablet, but his Mind Power ran out after the first stroke and his true mind form vanished.
• Su Tu returned to the maglev train, gained proficiency in Spiritual Wisdom and Dao Gathering, and startled Hua Hua with his unrestrained Mind Power.
• Liu Tianfang told Su Tu his name and said he had opened sixty-six apertures.

Su Tu rode to Ancient Forest and endured Liu Tianfang’s boasts before Liu Tianfang’s brother recognized him as the fighter who had knocked him unconscious in Mind Illusion Dream. Mo Ya picked Su Tu up in her lavish airship, while Su Tu remained wary of Tang Yangwu and his family.

• Liu Tianfang mocked Su Tu’s cultivation and bragged about his brother qualifying for the Training Camp, but the brother recognized Su Tu and apologized after slapping Liu Tianfang.
• Su Tu arrived at the station, declined Hua Hua’s offer of a ride, and leaped aboard Mo Ya’s airship when she came to collect him.
• Liu Tianfang learned that Su Tu had knocked his brother unconscious with one punch and regretted trying to show off in front of him.
• On the airship, Mo Ya questioned why Su Tu had taken the train instead of riding with Tang Yangwu’s family.
• Su Tu reflected that Tang Yangwu’s younger brother seemed strangely ordinary for someone from a powerful family, and his instincts warned him that something was wrong.

Su Tu arrived at the Ancient Forest Training Camp and learned that its entrance trial would seal entrants’ minds and qi. After Xiong Changwen insulted Xiong Lailer for calling Su Tu his big brother, Su Tu knocked him into the ground and attacked Tuoba Yutian, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Mo Ya explained that the Wolf Faction’s influence had fueled prejudice against people from the Ancestral Star and warned Su Tu to avoid acting impulsively.
• Su Tu and Mo Ya reached the Ancient Forest, where Xiong Lailer told them that entrants would have to cross it using only their techniques and physical strength.
• Xiong Changwen insulted Xiong Lailer for acknowledging an Ancestral Star native as his big brother, and Su Tu stopped Xiong Lailer from charging at him.
• Su Tu recognized that Xiong Changwen had been sent by Tuoba Yutian to test him, then grabbed Xiong Changwen and slammed his head into the ground.
• Su Tu kicked Tuoba Yutian, who apologized and tried to avoid a fight, but Su Tu rejected his apology and threw a punch at him.

Su Tu crushed Tuoba Yutian’s Golden Armor with Triple Force and tried to keep fighting him to gain Proficiency, but the instructor arrived and sent Su Tu and other students into the Ancient Forest for their entrance test. Su Tu landed in a shadowy forest and sensed danger as a creature lunged at him.

• Su Tu overwhelmed Tuoba Yutian with Prajna Seven Kills, then shattered his Golden Armor with Triple Force.
• Tuoba Yutian surrendered and pledged to follow Su Tu, while Su Tu tried to provoke him into fighting again to gain more Proficiency.
• The exhausted instructor appeared, dismissed the fight, and announced that students had to cross the Ancient Forest to enter the camp.
• The instructor used mental fluctuations to send a third of the students, including Su Tu and Tuoba Yutian, into the forest.
• Su Tu recognized the Ancient Forest and sensed danger as a shadowy creature leapt toward him.

Su Tu fought Imitators that copied his techniques and discovered they were an easy source of proficiency. As he tore through them, he followed the signal drawing them toward an unknown origin site, leaving the instructors stunned that he had found it.

• Su Tu dodged an Imitator’s attack, then tested his combat techniques against the machine as it copied his moves.
• Instructors watched the trials and discussed candidates for the remaining S-grade evaluations, including Su Tu, Tuoba Fengtian, Luo Mo, and Li Mingming.
• Su Tu’s strength overwhelmed the Imitators, and their destruction granted him Combat Proficiency and Body Strengthening Proficiency.
• Su Tu noticed a broken Imitator’s head repeatedly facing one direction and suspected it was being called toward an origin site.
• Su Tu followed the Imitators’ signal and discovered the origin site, shocking the instructors as he continued crushing the machines.

Su Tu discovered a spring producing imitators and slaughtered them to rapidly gain proficiency, until an assistant instructor arrived and Su Tu mistook him for another part of the trial. Mu Qingying identified the battered man as the examiner, who woke up and told Su Tu to stop hitting him.

• Su Tu found a spring spawning endless imitators and killed them, gaining hundreds of points in Combat and Body Strengthening Proficiency.
• The instructors noticed the other students were no longer encountering imitators, sent martial artists into the forest, and dispatched a Crew Cut Man to stop Su Tu.
• The Crew Cut Man reached the spring, saw the damaged imitators, and realized the student who had destroyed them must be terrifyingly strong.
• Su Tu ambushed the Crew Cut Man and dragged him into the darkness, mistaking him for the next opponent in the trial.
• Mu Qingying found Su Tu with the bloodied Crew Cut Man and explained that he was the Training Camp's Assistant Instructor.
• The Crew Cut Man regained consciousness and told Su Tu that he was the examiner there to pick him up.

Su Tu defeated Zheng Peng in the Ancient Forest and learned that the instructor would arrange a physical examination for him. He entered the Training Camp with Mu Qingying, whose terror at sensing something in Su Tu’s mind caused her to faint.

• Su Tu apologized after discovering that the battered Crew Cut Man was Instructor Zheng Peng, who offered to arrange a physical examination for him.
• Zheng Peng led Su Tu and Mu Qingying out of the Ancient Forest and into the Training Camp, where his sealed qi returned.
• Several gathered martial artists judged Su Tu, while Li Mingming excitedly recognized his strength and wanted to challenge him.
• Zheng Peng left to get medical treatment, and Luo Fan called Su Tu over to join his classmates.
• Mu Qingying screamed in terror as Su Tu approached her, then rolled her eyes back and collapsed unconscious.

After Mu Qingying collapsed at the Training Camp, the students learned that the camp might conceal a secret connected to the gods and received ranks, wristbands, and point-based benefits. Su Tu was named a Rank S Student, but Huang Dao challenged his qualification, leaving the dispute unresolved.

• Mu Qingying fainted after her mind was overwhelmed by fear, and Tang Yangwu suspected she had seen something connected to the gods.
• A panda-eyed instructor took Mu Qingying away, then five Head Instructors arrived and announced the camp rules and intelligent wristbands.
• The instructors explained the point system and ranked students according to their performances against the imitators, with Su Tu, Li Mingming, and Luo Mo assigned Rank S.
• Huang Dao objected to Su Tu's Rank S qualification, while Tuoba Fengtian quietly defended Su Tu's strength.

Su Tu was granted a Rank S slot, prompting Huang Dao to challenge the decision before Luo Mo intervened and attacked him. Instructor Zishu ended the disputes and ordered the trainees to their rooms, while Mu Qingying remained in the emergency room after apparently facing one or more gods.

• Huang Dao accused the instructors of favoritism and challenged Su Tu to a fight over the Rank S slot.
• Luo Mo seized Huang Dao, overpowered his defenses, and declared that New Star martial artists had no right to question Su Tu’s status.
• Su Tu thanked Luo Mo for intervening, then recognized him as the Mask member whose invitation he had rejected and said he did not regret it.
• Instructor Zishu used his mental power to calm the crowd, banned further fighting, and ordered everyone to find their rooms.
• Big Cat crushed the phantom that Zishu projected into Su Tu’s True Self World, causing Zishu to turn pale.
• A healer told the lazy instructor that Mu Qingying’s mind was terrified after she had tried to face one or more gods.

Chang Ye diagnosed Mu Qingying with Face God Syndrome after her true spirit vanished, while she found herself among the terrifying beings inside Su Tu’s True Self World. When Su Tu entered his world to investigate, Mu Qingying suddenly worshiped him as a god, making her his first devout believer.

• Chang Ye identified Mu Qingying’s condition as Face God Syndrome and divined that her missing true spirit was safe and near a god.
• Mu Qingying awoke on Black Mountain among terrifying beings whose auras had scattered her spirit after she glimpsed Su Tu’s mind.
• The Red Moon bathed Mu Qingying in blood-red light that cleansed her true spirit and strengthened her mind, changing her consciousness.
• Su Tu and his classmates explored their dormitories, then Tang Yangwu warned Su Tu that the Ancient Forest might be connected to immortals and that he should be careful.
• Su Tu entered his True Self World to investigate Mu Qingying, but she knelt before him and called him her god, earning him his first devout believer.

Su Tu used the Blood Moon’s power to turn Mu Qingying into a believer, then erased her conscious memory of him before she returned to the outside world. As Su Tu began a physical examination with Zheng Peng, Mu Qingying unknowingly described a vision of a god to Chang Ye, and the system rewarded Su Tu as she spread his greatness.

• The Blood Moon made Mu Qingying a fanatic of Su Tu, and Su Tu commanded her to forget him when her true spirit returned to her body.
• Su Tu joked that the Blood Moon might be one of the Three Gods, prompting it to flare in upset until he soothed it.
• Zheng Peng took Su Tu to the physical examination area, where they encountered Mu Qingying leaving the infirmary with Chang Ye.
• Mu Qingying recognized Su Tu as trustworthy but could not remember him; she told Chang Ye that she might have seen a god from the North Sea.
• As Su Tu lay in the examination machine, the system announced that his believer was spreading his greatness and awarded him 50 Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency.

Su Tu discovered that faith spread by believers could provide Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency and considered converting Three Deviant Sect members into his followers. After his examination confirmed his extraordinary strength came from an unusually dense but technically ordinary body, Zheng Peng revealed that an Origin within the Sacred Realm bore the Path to Immortality.

• Su Tu realized Mu Qingying’s subconscious had linked his image with the North Sea and immortals, then considered using Blood Moon to convert Three Deviant Sect members into believers who could spread his faith and provide Proficiency.
• Su Tu finished his examination and met Biao Zi, while Zheng Peng insisted Su Tu must possess an extraordinary physical anomaly.
• The staff member reported that Su Tu had no anomalies but had muscles, meridians, and Bone Root ten times denser than normal, and proposed classifying his constitution as an anomaly named after him.
• Zheng Peng explained that he had been extinguished after following a powerful figure beneath the Bitter Sea, then revealed that he had found a reference to an Origin bearing the Path to Immortality in the Sacred Realm.

Zheng Peng told Su Tu and Biao Zi that the origins of the Mind Sacred Realms might hold the secret to immortality and ascending to godhood, while Su Tu revealed that he had already reached Xing Ku and begun crossing the Sea of Bitterness. After eating in the Training Camp cafeteria, Su Tu felt his second Celestial Orifice stir as instructors discussed his prospects.

• Zheng Peng warned Su Tu that learning about the Sacred Realms too early could be dangerous, but a flash of Mind Light revealed that Su Tu had constructed a True Self World and reached Xing Ku.
• Zheng Peng realized Su Tu had likely crossed the Sea of Bitterness farther than he had, and Su Tu modestly said his Mind talent exceeded his Martial Dao talent.
• Zheng Peng described an ancient record claiming each Sacred Realm held an origin containing a step toward immortality and godhood, and Su Tu recalled leaving part of his name on a Mind origin.
• Su Tu left Zheng Peng and Biao Zi to eat with his classmates, then went alone to the Rank S dining floor and finished a meal of nourishing food.
• Su Tu sensed his second Celestial Orifice trembling and began using the golden light in his first Celestial Orifice to strike at it, while Wei Yang assessed his physical strength and prospects.

Su Tu opened his second and third Celestial Orifices, revealing True Qi and surprising the instructors who had doubted him. After learning that Su Tu had opened three Body Locks, Wei Yang urged him to ignore others’ opinions, while a new report suggested Su Tu might be a genius unseen since ancient times.

• Wei Yang argued that Su Tu could not be a prodigy without opening Body Locks, while Chou Niu defended Su Tu’s abilities.
• The instructors arrived as Su Tu broke through his second Celestial Orifice, and Wei Yang used his Mind Power to protect him.
• Su Tu opened his second Celestial Orifice, whose True Qi stirred his Mind Qi and helped him open a third; he then saw a grass radical resembling the mark he had left in the Bitter Sea Origin.
• Su Tu told the instructors he had opened three Body Locks, and Zi Shu suspected Old Zhou had chosen him despite intelligence claiming he had cultivated for only a month.
• Wei Yang advised Su Tu to ignore idle criticism, reminded him to prioritize the Rank S exclusive store, and later read a report suggesting Su Tu was an extraordinary talent.

After Su Tu’s breakthrough, Wei Yang recognized his interest in Ancient Arts, while Yin Tiger regretted accepting the Chen Family’s request to target him. Chen Daowen learned of a North Sea Immortal Relic and its strange hidden opportunity, and Su Tu discovered an early-entry qualification in the Rank S store; after a mysterious apparition visited his room, he heard a bizarre prayer deep beneath the Bitter Sea.

• Wei Yang recognized Su Tu’s Heaven Flipping Seal hand gesture as an Ancient Arts technique and hoped to recruit him to the Old Arts Department, while Yin Tiger cursed the Chen Family for asking him to suppress Su Tu.
• Chen Daowen learned from his great-granduncle that the North Sea Immortal Relic held a sealed opportunity and received a White Jade Pendant to locate it.
• Chen Daowen vowed to win the Training Camp and retrieve the opportunity, then learned it was a peerless female corpse.
• Su Tu found that the Rank S exchange store offered an early-entry qualification to the North Sea Burial Ground for 300,000 points and planned to earn points quickly.
• A woman formed from black hair searched for Su Tu’s room, but vanished when midnight struck, leaving behind black specks that called out “Xilai.”
• Su Tu descended farther into the Bitter Sea, heard a faint chant, and made out a prayer asking the “great fuck” for Divine Grace.

Su Tu heard an ancient chant beneath the Sea of Bitterness and saw a primitive ritual worshipping the word he had carved on the origin. In the Borderlands, an attempt to trace him toward the Ancestral Star triggered a deadly response from an immortal shadow; Su Tu later woke and found the Martial Arts Department’s mission panel active.

• Su Tu saw a vision of primitive people sacrificing animals before an altar marked with the character “Grass,” then returned to the True Self World and tempered his mind with the Heart Furnace.
• Outer Gods traced the origin toward the Ancestral Star, but an immortal weapon struck down the twelve-halo figure who looked upon it.
• The remaining Outer Gods learned from Jin Chi’s memories that Su Tu had carved words on the origin, then wondered whether his true name was “Grass.”
• Su Tu woke from his deep sleep pod, reviewed his cultivation gains, and practiced the Heaven Flipping Seal without activating it.
• Su Tu opened the newly active mission panel and saw tasks offering points and other rewards.

Su Tu accepted tasks to cross the Slaughter Field, comprehend the Mind Long Slope, and fight an Assistant Instructor, then entered the Slaughter Field to earn points and a technique. He used Xingtian to kill 7,077 Beasts in seven minutes, taking first place and leaving Li Mingming and Luo Mo stunned.

• Su Tu accepted three tasks, including crossing the Slaughter Field, and went to its entrance.
• Tuoba Fengtian and Xiong Lailer each transferred 500 points to Su Tu and declared themselves his underlings.
• Tuoba Fengtian explained the Slaughter Field and told Su Tu about Luo Mo and Li Mingming's bet to take first place.
• Su Tu entered the Slaughter Field, evaded a Beast's attack, and summoned Xingtian to face the growing swarm.
• Luo Mo and Li Mingming finished their run and found Su Tu at the top of the leaderboard with 7,077 kills in seven minutes.

Su Tu completed the Slaughter Field and Mind Long Slope tasks, then learned from Instructor Wei Yang that Immortal Power was needed to fully activate Ancient Arts. As Wei Yang gave him the Eight Nine Arcane Art research, Su Tu realized he had already used Ancient Arts and that something had obscured his memories of how.

• Su Tu set a seven-minute Slaughter Field record with 7,077 kills, leaving Luo Mo and Li Mingming arguing over whether the Ancestral Star or New Star was superior.
• Su Tu collected 3,000 points for the Slaughter Field, then went to the third floor to attempt the Mind Long Slope task.
• Wei Yang suspended the Mind Long Slope task for other students and awarded Su Tu 1,000 points, explaining that Su Tu's progress in Crossing the Sea of Bitterness made the test unnecessary.
• Wei Yang praised Su Tu's mind-cultivation talent and told him that Golden Pool Great Monk had died as an infant was born on Celestial Capital Star, possibly as the monk's reincarnation; Su Tu felt sudden disgust and killing intent at the name.
• Wei Yang explained that Ancient Arts required Immortal Power, which their era lacked, and Su Tu realized he had previously used that power but had been prevented from reviewing the memory.
• Wei Yang gave Su Tu his first Ancient Art analysis booklet and research reports on the Eight Nine Arcane Art.

Su Tu accepted Wei Yang’s offer to bring the Old Arts Research Program to Star Ark Academy and received the enigmatic Eight Nine Mysterious Art. As trainees began preying on one another for points, a frightened youth came to Su Tu asking for protection from Huang Dao and the others.

• Su Tu exposed Wei Yang’s scripted pitch, then agreed to join the Old Arts Research Program if it moved to Star Ark Academy.
• Wei Yang gave Su Tu the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, whose nine pages each bore a single ancient character, and a paper proposing that each character concealed a method.
• Su Tu studied his past use of the Heaven Flipping Seal, but his attempts to recreate the Immortal Power needed to activate Ancient Arts failed.
• After five days, Su Tu had amassed sixty thousand points and continued trying to reach the three hundred thousand needed to enter the relic.
• A youth with eighty opened acupoints asked Su Tu for protection, saying Huang Dao and the others were taking over the cafeteria and demanding points.
