Chapter Summaries

Chai Zhihong considered capturing Chen Fei to investigate the Cold Mountain Domain incident, but Heaven's Response City's rules and Chen Fei's likely use of the Teleportation Array prevented him from acting.

Chen Fei cleared a series of Heaven's Response Illusion Realm trials by using Illusion Techniques against the illusions, earning an Enlightenment Tree Seed and reaching the realm's core. The Enlightenment Tree Spirit invited him to compete in the Enlightenment Dao Field, where his victories would help the tree, and Chen Fei asked what reward he could receive.

• Chen Fei defeated a second puppet with an Illusion Technique that took the form of a Heaven Reaching Giant Palm.
• Fang Yongqian of Heaven High Sect appeared for the third trial, exchanged greetings with Chen Fei, and summoned eight Heavenly God Realm Late Stage battle soldiers to attack him.

Chen Fei used Illusion Techniques to defeat Fang Yongqian and Jiang Zhiyu in consecutive trials, while the Heavenly Response Enlightenment Tree Spirit chose to risk accumulating the rewards. After Jiang Zhiyu exposed Chen Fei’s position by burning his divine soul, he launched six formations, and the chapter left the outcome of their battle unresolved.

• The Holy Temple Enlightenment Tree Spirit showed Jiang Zhiyu how Xiao Mu exploited a fleeting flaw in Huo Zijing’s Divine Soul Pagoda to plant an Illusion Technique.
• Huo Zijing protected himself with layers of talisman barriers and sent Golden Armored Heavenly Soldiers sweeping across the field, but his distorted senses made him attack himself and place his defenses far away.

Chen Fei, posing as Xiao Mu, defeated Yu Zongjie with an Illusion Technique and went undefeated through the ninth round. With no Heavenly God Realm Late Stage cultivator willing to challenge him, he completed the streak and received rewards from the Heavenly Response Enlightenment Tree Spirit.

• Jiang Zhiyu watched through the Holy Temple Enlightenment Tree Spirit's vision as Yu Zongjie began to lose ground to Xiao Mu in their Illusion Technique duel.

• The Heavenly Response Enlightenment Tree Spirit gave Chen Fei five Enlightenment Tree Seeds and a Twelfth-Order Supreme Status Rank Spirit Material, and promised to forge his Heavenly God Weapon into the embryonic form of a Void God Weapon.

Chen Fei had the Enlightenment Tree Spirit forge the Qian Yuan Sword into the embryonic form of a Void God Weapon, then used a Supreme Status Rank Spirit Material to break through to Heavenly God Realm Peak. After raising his elemental energy, divine soul, and physique to the Twelfth-Order Limit, he tried fusing the four rules to test whether he could withstand Thirteenth-Order Spatial Characteristic: Emptiness.

• A heaven-shaking explosion rang through Chen Fei's soul as he saw Heaven and Earth Reopening and a figure standing between heaven and earth.

Chen Fei fused the four elemental rules and rapidly comprehended the Spatial Characteristic: Emptiness, but his soul fractured when his mastery reached fifty percent. After recovering and testing his ultimate Illusory Void Sword, he left Heaven's Response Peak at the Heavenly God Realm Middle Stage, drawing Chai Zhihong's attention.

• Chen Fei's mastery of the Spatial Characteristic: Emptiness surged as the Mystic Feather World appeared to bless his cultivation, but his soul began to split at fifty percent and he stopped comprehending it.

• Three days later, Chen Fei left Heaven's Response Peak at the Heavenly God Realm Middle Stage and headed for the Teleportation Array, intending to exchange an Enlightenment Tree Seed for a Twelfth-Order High-Grade Status Rank Spirit Material.
• A Primordial Demon reported Chen Fei's appearance and cultivation to Chai Zhihong, who was surprised because Chen Fei had only recently reached the Heavenly God Realm Initial Stage.
