Chapter Summaries

Wang Xian unlocked the Purgatory Shop, organized guild members and outside leaders to farm Purgatory Points, and continued leveling as Blue Star approached New Year's Day. When the Big Bat reached level 100 and triggered Version 3.0, a five-colored light appeared over Immortal Palace’s mountain range, prompting Wang Xian to conceal his identity and prepare to guard what was about to emerge.

• Wang Xian discovered that the Purgatory Shop offered special attributes, rare formulas, and Guild Building and warship blueprints, and he spent most of his Purgatory Points on increased damage and health recovery.
• Nangong Wu arranged for Immortal Palace members to pool their Purgatory Points, while Sword Twenty-Three, Long Aotian, Qin Zheng, and others agreed to pay Wang Xian one thousand Gold Coins per point for help clearing Purgatory Difficulty dungeons.
• After a month of leveling and dungeon runs, Wang Xian reached level 80, the Big Bat reached level 100, and Blue Star updated to Version 3.0.
• A five-colored pillar appeared above Immortal Palace’s mountain range, and Wang Xian told Nangong Wu to keep everyone out, station Qin Yu’s NPC army nearby, and claim that Wang Xian had disappeared until after New Year’s Day.
• Nangong Wu prepared Wang Xian a disguising outfit and new identity, and Wang Xian took the powerful Thunder Spirit into the mountain range.

Wang Xian kept Thunder Spirit’s immense strength and the mountain’s secrets hidden as Nangong Wu turned away visitors seeking to investigate the five-colored phenomenon. After several guests ignored her warnings and went toward the mountain, Thunder Spirit alerted Wang Xian to someone approaching.

• Wang Xian recalled that Thunder Spirit had killed a lightning-formed dungeon boss and could deal over one hundred thousand attack power, while its Thunder Tribulation Liquid had strengthened Dou Dou and Thunder Spirit Wings.
• Sword Twenty-Three, Long Aotian, Shadow, Qin Zheng, and other guild leaders arrived at Immortal Palace to ask about the mountain; Nangong Wu said she did not know what lay there and forbade anyone from entering.
• Nangong Wu warned the visitors that trespassers could be killed, then demanded ten thousand Gold Coins from Guild Leader Jun for damaging her table.
• After the visitors left, Nangong Wu explained to Sword Twenty-Three, Qin Zheng, Long Aotian, and Shadow that her warning was meant to keep them from investigating the mountain.
• Wang Xian disguised himself near the mountain, but Xuan Yue recognized him; Xuan Ming took her away, and Wang Xian later flew off after Thunder Spirit pointed toward someone.

Wang Xian guarded the five-colored mountain range, captured a group of intruders, and discovered that its powerful monsters made the inner region impossible to enter. After discussing the threat of Conquer the World with Nangong Wu, he was interrupted by Sword Twenty-Three, who said something big had happened.

• Wang Xian watched stealthy intruders approach the five-colored barrier, then had Su Jin, Dou Dou, Xuan Ming, and Xuan Yue capture them as the barrier faded.
• Wang Xian entered the mountain range, absorbed its five-colored mist to raise his attributes, and fled when dozens of rare level-one-hundred BOSS monsters overwhelmed him.
• Wang Xian told Nangong Wu about the mist and monsters, and they discussed whether Conquer the World and Jun Tianxia's ruthless methods suited their world.
• Sword Twenty-Three barged in, spotted Wang Xian, and pulled him away, saying something big had happened.

Wang Xian and Sword Twenty-Three investigated a silent town overrun by bats and discovered that Paul Dracula had turned thousands of Dragon Country residents into vampires. As the transformed townspeople closed in, Sword Twenty-Three asked whether Wang Xian could still save them, but Wang Xian had no answer.

• Sword Twenty-Three brought Wang Xian to White Tiger Main City and led him west to investigate a town where rescuers had vanished.
• Sword Twenty-Three explained that the town had sent a plea for help about invading bats and showed Wang Xian a photograph of a vampire linked to Paul Dracula.
• Wang Xian entered the town, where bats swarmed them, but discovered they were not real bats and could not hurt him because his armor reduced their fixed damage to zero.
• Thousands of vampires emerged from the town, and Wang Xian and Sword Twenty-Three recognized them as Dragon Country people, including many elderly people, women, and children.
• Sword Twenty-Three called for the hidden Big Bat and asked Wang Xian whether the transformed residents could be saved, but Wang Xian fell silent.

Wang Xian and his companions discovered that Cheng Yao could cure the Dragon Kingdom People turned into vampires, then searched the town for the level-one-hundred vampire. Wang Xian found a hidden gathering of foreign vampires and killed two of them, discovering they had no resurrection chances, as the coffin containing their progenitor remained unopened.

• Wang Xian tried using Priest Skill—Purification on a vampire, but the Light Element skill caused the captive pain and failed to cure him.
• Wang Xian brought Cheng Yao and the others to town, where Cheng Yao used Flower Goddess's Profession Purification skill to restore a vampire's sanity.
• After learning that bats had attacked and transformed the townspeople, Wang Xian, Xuan Ming, and Sword Twenty-Three split up to search for the hidden Big Bat.
• Wang Xian found a barrier concealing a coffin and four vampires, then killed one with the Heavenly Dragon Spear and realized it had no resurrection chances.
• When one of the remaining vampires warned Wang Xian to stay away from their progenitor, lightning struck and killed it, and Wang Xian turned back toward the coffin.

Wang Xian failed to draw the vampire ancestor out of an indestructible coffin, so he dragged it to a pool of filth and dropped it in. The splash caused a scandalous misunderstanding with Su Jin and Nangong Wu, while Wang Xian teased Cheng Yao about her old advances.

• Wang Xian killed the two remaining vampires, then taunted the ancestor inside the coffin and repeatedly struck it without leaving a mark.
• Wang Xian used a soundproofing scroll on the coffin and flew off with it, later meeting Sword Twenty-Three and Xuan Ming.
• Wang Xian led Sword Twenty-Three and Xuan Ming to a pool of yellow filth and dropped the coffin into it before fleeing the splash.
• Sword Twenty-Three and Xuan Ming confronted Wang Xian, but Su Jin arrived and accused them of playing in filth with Nangong Wu nearby.
• Wang Xian covered Su Jin's mouth, worsening the misunderstanding, then teased Cheng Yao about having once wanted him.

Wang Xian learned that Big Bat’s Blood Slaves had lost their resurrection attempts and could be forced to explode, then helped the town’s elders save its children. Big Bat emerged from the cesspit, and Wang Xian recorded his filthy escape before knocking him back into the pool; Big Bat reappeared in blazing red flames, enraged and ready to attack.

• Nangong Wu explained that the Dragon Country People transformed into Blood Slaves had lost their resurrection attempts, and Wang Xian asked Xuan Ming and Xuan Yue how to prevent them from exploding.
• Xuan Ming said Sleeve Universe could protect at most one thousand people, so Nangong Wu and Cheng Yao gathered the townspeople and asked them what they wanted; the adults gave their chance to live to the children.
• The town’s old woman thanked Wang Xian for saving the children and asked him to take care of them as bubbles began rising from the pool.
• Nangong Wu gave Wang Xian an Imprint Stone, and he recorded Big Bat bursting from the filthy coffin and burning the filth off his body.
• Big Bat charged Wang Xian, but Wang Xian’s Heavenly Dragon City Breaker smashed him into the cesspit, where he swallowed some filth before emerging again in blood-red flames.

Wang Xian fought Paul Dracula, whose blood-control powers let him slaughter the Dragon Country People trapped below and taunt Wang Xian with their deaths. As Wang Xian tried to restrain Paul Dracula and force him to use his invincibility skills, Paul Dracula unleashed Blood Moon Descent, leaving the battle poised to escalate.

• Wang Xian struck Paul Dracula with his spear, but Paul Dracula's damage reduction kept the blow weak, while Paul Dracula's counterattacks could not pierce Wang Xian's defense.
• Paul Dracula made hundreds of Blood Slaves in the town explode, then killed over a thousand more as Wang Xian failed to catch him.
• Wang Xian unleashed Heavenly Dragon's Wrath, but Paul Dracula survived by using an invincibility skill and continued killing the Blood Slaves.
• Su Jin, Nangong Wu, Sword Twenty-Three, and the others flew up from the town; Wang Xian stopped Sword Twenty-Three from charging Paul Dracula and told everyone to retreat.
• Wang Xian used Ice Roar to slow Paul Dracula and attacked with more magic skills, but Paul Dracula broke free and activated Blood Moon Descent, turning the sky red as a blood moon rose.

Wang Xian faced Paul Dracula beneath the blood moon and discovered that Paul relied on a blood-red beetle and powerful healing to stay in the fight. Cheng Yao disrupted Paul’s blood-draining tentacles, and Wang Xian unleashed Dragon Roar as the battle continued.

• Wang Xian tested Paul Dracula’s blood moon with low-level spells, then realized it could absorb his attacks.
• Paul Dracula pulled a coin-sized blood-red Dung Beetle from the blood moon and threw it at Wang Xian, who caught it and stored it in his backpack.
• Paul Dracula attacked Wang Xian with claw marks, but they dealt no damage; Wang Xian’s dragon skills struck Paul while the blood moon rapidly healed him.
• Paul Dracula used blood-red tentacles to drain Wang Xian’s HP, but Cheng Yao’s white lotus weakened the tentacles and restored Wang Xian’s health.
• Wang Xian told Cheng Yao to retreat, then activated Dragon Roar against Paul Dracula.

Wang Xian killed Paul Dracula and obtained the Mythical Grade Heart of the Angel, but Paul revived and tried to reclaim it. Wang Xian killed him again with his terrifying eyes, then flew back toward White Tiger City while Nangong Wu worried that something was wrong with him.

• Wang Xian's dragon roar shattered the blood moon and left Paul Dracula nearly out of HP, allowing Wang Xian to kill him with the Heavenly Dragon Spear.
• After the blood moon collapsed, Wang Xian caught a Mythical Grade Heart of the Angel and put it in his inventory.
• Paul Dracula revived at full HP and demanded the heart, but Wang Xian refused and kicked him away.
• When Paul Dracula dismissed the thousands he had killed as ants, Wang Xian shot red and white beams from his eyes and disintegrated him.
• After Paul Dracula failed to revive again, Su Jin praised Wang Xian, while Nangong Wu noticed that something seemed wrong with him as he flew toward White Tiger City.

Wang Xian reassured Nangong Wu that the damage to his eyes from using his Sun Pupil and Moon Pupil would heal, while news spread of his battle with Paul Dracula. Later, Sword Twenty-Three told Wang Xian that visitors from the Church of Light were waiting in the Imperial Capital, and Nangong Wu guessed they had come for the Heart of the Angel.

• Nangong Wu confronted Wang Xian about his eyes, and he explained that using his Sun Pupil and Moon Pupil had caused temporary side effects.

Wang Xian met with Lydia Karina and the Church of Light, who had traveled to the Dragon Kingdom to ask him for a trade. He assumed they wanted the Heart of the Angel, but Lydia and the others were surprised when he named it.

• Wang Xian welcomed Lydia Karina and the Church of Light’s high-ranking members, then agreed that they could address each other by their given names.
• Wang Xian explained that he could not see Lydia Karina because of a temporary problem with his eyes, and declined her offer to heal them.
• Lydia Karina said the Church of Light wanted to trade for something and promised to meet Wang Xian’s demands.
• Wang Xian said the Heart of the Angel was a Mythical Grade item and asked what the Church of Light would offer in exchange.
• Lydia Karina and the Church of Light members stared at Wang Xian in astonishment, revealing that they had not come for the Heart of the Angel.

Wang Xian discovered that the Church of Light and Pharaoh Country both wanted his Sacred Scarab and had to decide which faction to trade it to. He chose the Church of Light, while Lydia Karina visited Immortal Palace and Pharaoh Country representatives arrived seeking the same relic.

• Lydia Karina told Wang Xian that the Church of Light had come for the Sacred Scarab, and Wang Xian produced the blood-red beetle, startling the church members.
• Representatives from Pharaoh Country arrived, prompting a tense rivalry with the Church of Light over the Sacred Scarab; Wang Xian escaped the banquet after the old man signaled him to leave.
• Wang Xian told Nangong Wu what had happened, and they agreed that he should trade the Sacred Scarab to the Church of Light rather than strengthen Pharaoh Country.
• Lydia Karina visited Immortal Palace, toured its territory with Wang Xian and Nangong Wu, and left after Wang Xian refused to let her explore the dangerous mountain range.
• When Nangong Wu reported that more guests from Pharaoh Country had arrived, Wang Xian chose to take people to run a dungeon instead of meeting them.

Wang Xian negotiated with Lydia Karina over the Sacred Scarab, while she revealed that the Pope believed Wang Xian was a source of hope for the gods and urged her to remain by his side. Wang Xian agreed to give the Church of Light the Sacred Scarab in exchange for Lydia helping him discover the purpose of the Heart of the Angel, which she began to unseal.

• Wang Xian took his party to the Nine Dragon Mountain Range to replenish the Heavenly Dragon Souls, then returned to Immortal Palace to run Advanced Dungeons.
• Nangong Wu told Wang Xian that Lydia Karina had skillfully avoided revealing the Church of Light's intentions during their conversations.
• Lydia Karina told Wang Xian that the Church of Light would meet any conditions for the Sacred Scarab, including her staying with him, and she recalled the Pope's warning that Wang Xian might be the world's only light.
• Lydia Karina approached Wang Xian and touched his face, leaving him flustered as she asked him to consider her proposal.
• Wang Xian offered the Sacred Scarab in exchange for Lydia Karina identifying the Heart of the Angel's purpose, and she began unsealing it with sacred light.

Wang Xian and his party continued leveling after the Church of Light gave them Angel, while Lydia Karina offered him ten Hearts of the Angel in exchange for a condition he postponed discussing. On New Year's Day, the system announced a global Martial Arts Tournament, and the participants were transported away as it began.

• Wang Xian admired Angel's guild benefits, but its upgrade materials proved scarce; Lydia Karina offered ten Hearts of the Angel if he accepted her condition, and he put off answering.
• The Church of Light took the Sacred Scarab, angering Pharaoh Country, whose members threatened Wang Xian before returning home; Lydia Karina promised the Church would protect him and joined his party for leveling.
• As Wang Xian's party farmed dungeons, Su Jin suspected Lydia Karina wanted Wang Xian, while Cheng Yao blushed and acted strangely; Nangong Wu later reassured Wang Xian that Yao Yao was fine.
• Nangong Wu asked Wang Xian whether they would ever have children, and he comforted her by saying they would solve the problem someday.
• On New Year's Day, the system announced a Martial Arts Tournament with major prizes for top finishers and rewards for winning matches; Wang Xian told his group to rest before the event.
• At eight the next morning, countless beams of light appeared across Blue Star, and people vanished as the Martial Arts Tournament began.

Wang Xian and his companions watched the Martial Arts Tournament from his private room as the competition narrowed to the global top one hundred. Wang Xian kept defeating opponents with single skills, and Paul Dracula surrendered when he was matched against him.

• After about three days, the global top one hundred were selected, and everyone in Wang Xian’s private room except his mother had qualified.
• Wang Xian faced Paul Dracula in the top-one-hundred battles, and Paul Dracula surrendered before fighting.

After the tournament’s top ten were decided, Wang Xian and his companions discussed Ji Hao, a seemingly harmless boy whose mysterious skill had overwhelmed even powerful opponents. They suspected he came from the reclusive Xuanyuan Ji Family, then invited him to meet them, where the women doted on him.

• The tournament selected Wang Xian, Shadow, Sword Twenty-Three, Su Jin, Ji Hao, Lydia Karina, Paul Dracula, Rhode Fielding, Usagawa Kota, and Cheng Yao for the top ten.

• Wang Xian invited Ji Hao to his private room, where Ji Hao arrived and greeted everyone politely.
• Su Jin hugged Ji Hao until he protested, so Wang Xian used Psychic Power to separate them, but Cheng Yao immediately took him into her arms.

Ji Hao gave Wang Xian a mysterious Mythical Grade token from the Xuanyuan Ji Family and revealed that the Shennong Jiang and Fuxi Feng families had matching tokens. As Ji Hao described several ancient family secret realms, the group learned the Qin Family’s realm might be connected to the Eternal Emperor, leaving Wang Xian proposing that he and Qin Zheng explore the Legendary Grade First Emperor’s Mausoleum dungeon together.

• Ji Hao gave Wang Xian a Mythical Grade token at his clan leader’s instruction and said two matching tokens were with members of the Shennong Jiang and Fuxi Feng families.
• Nangong Wu explained that other hidden families existed, and Ji Hao told Wang Xian that the Xuanyuan Ji Family inherited the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor’s lineage and lived in a secret realm.

• Ji Hao said the Qin Family’s secret realm was reportedly uninhabitable and linked to its ancestor, the Eternal Emperor.
• Wang Xian reminded Qin Zheng of the Legendary Grade First Emperor’s Mausoleum dungeon and proposed they clear it together when Qin Zheng reached level one hundred.
