Chapter Summaries

As the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor’s secret meeting with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor and Tan Taizhen stirred unrest across the Myriad Laws Sect, Zhang Yu was ordered to freeze the Reproduction Obligation. The chapter leaves Tai Yuebai confronting Ying Xintian as the Myriad Gold Mystic Realm collapses.

• Su Xianchen ordered Zhang Yu to pause most Law Article freezes while the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor visited the Myriad Laws Sect and met with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor and Tan Taizhen.
• Rumors spread that the visitors planned to establish a Natural Incubation Dao Lineage, while the closed-door meeting tightened censorship and heightened tension across the sect.

• After the March evaluations, Yu Xinghan became a Fifth Rank minister, Old Gao became Fourth Rank, and several of Zhang Yu’s allies received promotions.
• Dugu Ming relayed the Immortal Emperor’s order for Zhang Yu to freeze the Reproduction Obligation, and Zhang Yu began carrying it out despite a nagging sense that something was wrong.
• The Myriad Gold Mystic Realm shattered around Tai Yuebai, who saw Ying Xintian and demanded to know why he had come.

Zhang Yu entered the collapsing Myriad Gold Mystic Realm to free the Ancestor Corpse and encountered a figure claiming to be Ying Xintian, who warned that a No. 11 Immortal Emperor’s rise would trigger an Aeon Tribulation. Tai Yuebai revealed that the figure was a counterfeit made by Tan Taizhen, but Zhang Yu freed the Ancestor Corpse and was pulled into its memories.

• Zhang Yu’s move to freeze Reproduction Obligation drew broad support, while many Small Realms sealed themselves off after the Myriad Gold Mystic Realm began collapsing.
• Zhang Yu entered the spatial Illusionary Realm, sensed the Ancestor Corpse’s call, and met a figure who looked like Ying Xintian.

• Tai Yuebai attacked the figure and told Zhang Yu that Tan Taizhen had created a counterfeit using Ying Xintian’s bloodline information.
• Zhang Yu approached the true Ancestor Corpse, brought it into his Immortal Grotto-Heaven, and was drawn into a dream of its memories.

Zhang Yu and the others watched the Ancestor Corpse’s memories reveal how Tan Taizhen created Artificial Humans, replaced her own clones to resist corruption, and hid information inside the corpse. After a fake Ying Xintian warned Zhang Yu and Tai Yuebai to stop the birth of No. 11 Immortal Emperor, Zhang Yu transferred Tan Taizhen’s encrypted message into his Calculation Pool, and the Ancestor Corpse’s power began rapidly strengthening his Immortal Grotto-Heaven and [Descendant of Immortals].

• Fu Ji, Zhang Yu, and the others watched the Ancestor Corpse’s memory shift from an orphanage-like school into Tan Taizhen’s laboratory, where she experimented on and recycled Artificial Humans.
• Tan Taizhen’s successive selves debated whether her experiments were demonic, and each new self replaced the previous one when it lost its moral restraint.

• A fake Ying Xintian sent encrypted information into Tai Yuebai’s [Pure Stillness Heavenly Palace] and urged him and Zhang Yu to stop No. 11 Immortal Emperor before vanishing.
• Zhang Yu moved the Ancestor Corpse’s encrypted information into his Calculation Pool, and its Grotto-Heaven Power surged as his Immortal Grotto-Heaven and [Descendant of Immortals] advanced.

Zhang Yu advanced [Immortal Descendant] to level 7, learned that a new Dao Orthodoxy might be nearing completion, and prepared to freeze the Dual Cultivation Law Article. As She Yuzun manipulated public opinion against him, Zhang Yu’s enforcement turned the Law Article into a legal trap, prompting She Yuzun to consider using Kun Service.

• Zhang Yu confined the strangely conscious Ancestor Corpse, possibly Fa Yuanzi, and discovered that level 7 [Immortal Descendant] let him layer his Immortal Grotto-Heaven.
• Tai Yuebai warned Zhang Yu to be cautious about the Ten Immortal Emperors and investigated encrypted information while Zhang Yu received ten million Immortal Coins from Kuang Zhiqian for restoring the Myriad Gold Mystic Realm.
• Zhang Yu froze more Law Articles, and his Law Article Validity Period rose into the top thirty as cultivators sensed that a powerful Dao Orthodoxy was approaching.

• Public opinion shifted against Demon Descendants after Bei Wufeng’s insult spread, and Zhang Yu told Dugu Ming he had already made his move.
• Zhang Yu’s enforcement caused cultivators who continued dual cultivation after the Law Article was frozen to face Forced Cultivation fines, and She Yuzun decided to use Kun Service.

She Yuzun and Zhu Yan planned to attack Zhang Yu with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor’s backing, but Zhang Yu’s raid on Romantic Grotto-Heaven turned into their ambush. After surviving Zhu Yan’s assault and separating him inside the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, Zhang Yu confronted him with the Hundred-Billion Flying Sword in Di Xuan’s Legal Article Pilot Area.

• She Yuzun and Zhu Yan agreed to attack Zhang Yu the following Monday, after receiving an encrypted order from the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor that promised to limit Zhang Yu’s reinforcements.

• Zhang Yu used clones to draw Zhu Yan into Di Xuan’s Legal Article Pilot Area, where the Hundred-Billion Flying Sword locked onto Zhu Yan’s account and struck.

Zhu Yan’s attempt to defeat Zhang Yu failed after Zhang Yu used the Hundred-Billion Flying Sword to cut off his resources and then kept him unconscious. Zhang Yu escaped Kun Service’s pursuit of him and Zhu Yan, but Wan Yuanjun appeared in Bu Yingshu’s likeness and moved to embrace him.

• Zhu Yan surrendered to Zhang Yu while secretly trying to buy a Permanent Tribulation Certificate, but Zhang Yu slashed him with the Hundred-Billion Flying Sword and shut down his assets and cultivation.
• The Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor’s support temporarily suppressed Zhu Yan’s Debt Poison, but Zhang Yu struck him with Emperor’s Dominion over the Nine Heavens and repeatedly kept him unconscious.
• She Yuzun activated Kun Service to distract Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu called for cultivators to rescue the defenseless Zhu Yan before fleeing the Small Realm.
• Cultivators, including Di Xuan, descended on Zhu Yan to seize control of his assets and services, while She Yuzun hoped the Kun Service would restrain Zhang Yu.
• Zhang Yu fled to Tai Yuebai’s Small Realm and encountered Wan Yuanjun, who used Bu Yingshu’s appearance and reached for him, saying, “I’m Bu Yingshu.”

Zhang Yu survived Wan Yuanjun’s Kun Service with Tai Yuebai’s help, then joined Zhang Pianpian in exposing Snake Yuzun’s treason and freezing the Dual-Cultivation Obligation Law Article. The chapter ended with the new Dao Orthodoxy reaching 95% completion as abnormal breeding, production, and transfers spread across Kunxu.

• Tai Yuebai entered Zhang Yu’s Immortal Grotto-Heaven, transformed into Zhang Yu, and fought Wan Yuanjun until Kun Service ended without Zhang Yu being defeated or mentally twisted.
• Zhang Pianpian and Zhang Yu raided Snake Love-Worker’s hideout, pressured him into confessing, and uncovered evidence that Snake Yuzun had sold Myriad Laws Sect secrets to outsiders.
• Zhang Pianpian arrested Snake Yuzun, whose attempts to contact the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor failed, while Zhang Yu used the fallout to advance his Law Article freezing campaign.
• Zhang Yu froze the Dual-Cultivation Obligation Law Article in the pilot zone, but the new Dao Orthodoxy continued advancing as abnormal breeding and bodily changes spread.
• The new Dao Orthodoxy reached 95% completion, bringing mass breeding, market disruption, and abnormal Immortal Clan transfers, including Bu Yuangui giving Bu Yingshu over a hundred million Immortal Coins.

As the new Dao Orthodoxy neared completion, its influence twisted Kunxu’s people toward producing descendants and sacrificing their assets, and Zhang Yu realized that he too was beginning to be affected. The chapter ended as a terrifying aura spread through the Sect, signaling that No. 11 Immortal Emperor was about to ascend to the Supreme Position.

• Bu Yingshu worried that Zhang Yu had surpassed her in Dual Cultivation, began studying techniques on her own, and grew fearful that the new Dao Orthodoxy had twisted her father.
• Zhang Yu saw reports of Kunxu’s changing customs and Wan Yuanjun’s plans for his descendants, while Zhan Xian warned that the Dao Orthodoxy’s influence would intensify when it was complete.
• Old Gao and Magnetic Pole tried to mortgage their possessions and offer their bodies to help Zhang Yu become immortal, so Zhang Yu knocked them unconscious and concluded that even people without bloodline ties were being affected.
• Zhang Yu felt an unfamiliar urge to have descendants and fled into his Immortal Grotto-Heaven as Shi Huaiyu and others sought to reproduce with him.
• Zhang Yu warned Tai Yuebai and sent another unanswered message to Wanfa Immortal Emperor, while Tai Yuebai received advice from the immortals to protect himself and wait.
• A terrifying aura filled the Sect as Tai Yuebai realized that No. 11 Immortal Emperor was about to ascend to the Supreme Position.

She Yuzun and Zhu Yan awakened as the First Demon Saint while Wanwusheng’s flesh formed a Heavenly Dao Manifestation across Kunxu. Zhang Yu banned two law articles at Wanfa Immortal Emperor’s request, but the Immortal Emperors’ clash halted the New Orthodoxy at 99.8% before its progress reached 100% and the encrypted information was fully released.

• She Yuzun and Zhu Yan initially celebrated their immunity to the upheaval, then mutated and recovered their memories as parts of the First Demon Saint.
• Demon Descendants across Kunxu joined their will around Wanwusheng’s emerging flesh, which She Yuzun identified as the center of a coming Demon Saint.
• Zhang Yu and others saw the flesh as a Heavenly Dao Manifestation, while reports described Wanwusheng’s plan and the Immortal Emperors’ escalating conflict.
• Wanfa Immortal Emperor and the Law-Article Review Committee ordered Zhang Yu to ban Dual-Cultivation Obligation and Reproduction Obligation, and Zhang Yu erased their remaining traces on the 16th Layer.
• The Ten Immortal Emperors’ forces seized and contested the Saint Embryo, slowing its pulse and stopping the New Orthodoxy’s progress at 99.8%.
• The progress reached 100% as the sky tore open and Zhang Yu’s encrypted information was fully released.

Tai Yuebai and Zhang Yu watched Tan Taizhen’s Sacred Fetus give birth to a premature infant, while an encrypted message showed an alternate future in which she became the Eleventh Immortal Emperor. In reality, the Ten Immortal Emperors swiftly suppressed her, and the message’s version of Tai Zhen addressed whoever might receive it as she faced that fate.

• Tai Yuebai questioned how Tan Taizhen’s encrypted message contained scenes that matched recent events, then watched the Sacred Fetus crack and give birth to a premature infant.
• Kuang Tianqing, the Giant Corpse, Fa Liuyuan, and the Reformists realized that Tan Taizhen was behind the breakthrough and that a second Dao Orthodoxy had been concealed.
• The encrypted message showed Demon Tai Zhen declaring herself the Eleventh Immortal Emperor, while reports explained how her Dao Orthodoxy linked her to all living beings and made her costly to kill or replace.
• Zhan Xian and Wild Ox analyzed how Tan Taizhen had combined two Dao Orthodoxies to make her position an unwanted burden for the Ten Immortal Emperors.
• Zhang Yu realized the apparent ascension and the reports were inside the encrypted message, then saw reality diverge as ten halos bound and suppressed Tan Taizhen.
• Tai Yuebai concluded that Tan Taizhen’s prediction had failed as the message’s version of Immortal Emperor Tai Zhen asked whether her words could reach him before her suppression.

Zhang Yu learned from Demon Tai Zhen and Ying Xintian that the Ten Immortal Emperors could roll back the world to suppress new Immortal Emperors, but the technique had limits and flaws. As Tan Taizhen was being suppressed, Ying Xintian revealed that Zhang Yu could inherit her power and urged him to use the knowledge of rollback to find a way to defeat the Ten Immortal Emperors.

• Demon Tai Zhen revealed that completing the Supreme Orthodoxy had made her an Immortal Emperor, but the Ten Immortal Emperors were rolling back the world to suppress her and prevent any new No. 11 Immortal Emperor from rising.
• Demon Tai Zhen explained that she had sent the rollback intelligence into the past through their bloodline and told the recipients to preserve events, investigate the technique, and keep the Ten Immortal Emperors unaware.
• Ying Xintian explained that Yun Taizhen's clone had received Demon Tai Zhen's memories and used the Ancestor Corpse to summon a sliver of his will, which he placed inside the clone.
• Ying Xintian revealed that future information vanished after interacting with living beings, but his tests suggested the Ten Immortal Emperors had not detected it and might themselves be constrained by time and space.
• Zhang Yu reasoned that understanding the rollback's limits and costs could create a way to oppose the Ten Immortal Emperors, who might have tolerated Tan Taizhen's breakthrough because they trusted their power to suppress her.
• Ying Xintian told Zhang Yu that his Primordial Tai Zhen Bloodline made him a vessel for Tan Taizhen's inheritance, and said the knowledge of rollback offered hope even as the Ten Immortal Emperors suppressed her.

After the Ten Immortal Emperors suppressed Tan Taizhen, they began turning public opinion against her and sought to seize control of her orthodoxy. Ying Xintian helped Zhang Yu prepare to contact her through her bloodline network, and Zhang Yu reached out just as the chapter ended.

• Kuang Tianqing and the Giant Corpse discussed Tan Taizhen's defeat, and the Giant Corpse suspected the Ten Immortal Emperors intended to control her and use her orthodoxy.
• Tai Yuebai concluded the Ten Immortal Emperors were gradually gaining control of Tan Taizhen, while Myriad Laws Sect figures publicly distanced themselves from her and anticipated her assets being confiscated.
• Ying Xintian told Zhang Yu that Tan Taizhen's defeat had revealed vital information and urged him to obtain her Immortal Emperor inheritance before the Ten Immortal Emperors could control her completely.
• Ying Xintian explained that Tan Taizhen's Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture, dao seed, and bloodline network could help Zhang Yu prepare for the future confrontation.
• Zhang Yu studied the Tai Zhen Heavenly Birth Method, advanced it with help from his clones, and entered the bloodline network to call out to Tan Taizhen as her biological son.

Tan Taizhen, cornered by the Ten Immortal Emperors, welcomed Zhang Yu into the bloodline network as her biological son and successor. She gave him a Level 3 Creation Emperor Seed and revealed how her Dao Seed could break the Immortal Dao’s standardized limits, leaving Zhang Yu absorbing her bloodline information to strengthen it further.

• Tan Taizhen watched the Ten Immortal Emperors seize her assets and bloodline network, then resolved to preserve part of her inheritance.
• Zhang Yu entered the bloodline network and called Tan Taizhen his mother, drawing her attention as her biological son.
• Zhang Yu explained World Rollback and how it had let the Ten Immortal Emperors prepare to defeat her, and Tan Taizhen accepted that her defeat seemed inevitable.
• Tan Taizhen named Zhang Yu her successor, used his Feather Scroll to raise his Creation Emperor Seed to Level 3, and strengthened his body and magical power beyond their usual limits.
• Tan Taizhen explained the origins of realm limits, demon-descendant techniques, and her efforts to conceal her innovations from Wanfa Immortal Emperor.
• Tan Taizhen sent Zhang Yu a vast amount of bloodline information so he could continue developing his Dao Seed toward Level 4.

Tan Taizhen passed her bloodline knowledge and the evolving [Creation Emperor Seed] to Zhang Yu, explaining how she had sought to break the Immortal Emperors’ monopolies and how he might one day overcome them. As the Bloodline Network collapsed, she entrusted him with her Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture and told him to raise the Dao Seed and raid her home for important items.

• Tan Taizhen’s memories revealed the erased founder of the Dao Seed Orthodoxy and the history of how the Heavenly Devil Sect turned it into a tool for harvesting geniuses.
• Tan Taizhen advised Zhang Yu that killing an Immortal Emperor during his own breakthrough could prevent the other Immortal Emperors from uniting to roll back the world.
• Zhang Yu broke the upper limits of his physical body, magical power, and Dao Heart, then used the level 5 [Creation Emperor Seed] to turn cultivation methods into bloodline divine abilities.
• Tan Taizhen described how she recovered the Buddhist Sect’s Innate Divine Ability Method and worked with the Reincarnation Daoist, raising Zhang Yu’s [Creation Emperor Seed] to level 6.
• Tan Taizhen hid the Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture in Zhang Yu and told him to raise the [Creation Emperor Seed] to level 8 and join the coming raid on her home.
• Zhang Yu called Tan Taizhen Mom as she departed, urging him to carry the inherited spark forward without end.

Tan Taizhen scattered her inheritance across Kunxu as the Ten Immortal Emperors suppressed and consumed her, creating a scramble for her assets while buying time for Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu followed her clues to a hidden laboratory, where he began absorbing its bloodline knowledge to advance his Creation Emperor Seed.

• Tan Taizhen scattered her assets across Kunxu, warned the Ten Immortal Emperors that her reincarnated bodies would witness their falls, and was swallowed by darkness.
• The Myriad Laws Sect ordered its departments to reclaim Tan Taizhen’s scattered assets, while Zhang Yu realized her chosen locations were meant to spark conflict and help him collect his inheritance.
• Zhang Yu’s clones and companions reacted to the inheritance scramble as he headed toward a fallen cave abode while cultivators and high-level immortals fought over other assets.
• Zhang Yu drove off the cultivators surrounding the cave abode and discovered a blood-pool laboratory containing bloodline information and Immortal Dao research.
• Zhang Yu entered the blood pool and absorbed its knowledge to raise his Creation Emperor Seed toward level 7.

Zhang Yu absorbed Tan Taizhen’s inherited bloodline memories, raised the [Creation Emperor Seed] to level 8, and awakened the Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture. After leveling up the new technique, he discovered that people connected to his Dao seeds could function as extensions of his bloodline, leaving him with a way to spread and draw upon law articles and Dao orthodoxies.

• Zhang Yu absorbed Tan Taizhen’s memories of lost immortal techniques and her investigations into a hidden hand, which she suspected was one of the Ten Immortal Emperors, and advanced the [Creation Emperor Seed] to level 7.
• Zhang Yu continued absorbing bloodline information from successive pools, learning of Tan Taizhen’s work with the Extreme Emotion Sword Immortal and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor, until the [Creation Emperor Seed] reached level 8.
• Tan Taizhen’s message revealed the Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture, and Zhang Yu awakened it as a bloodline ability that could empower and transmit law articles and Dao orthodoxies.
• Zhang Yu used the Feather Scroll to raise the Heaven-Given Dao-Proving Scripture to level 60 and push it into the Tribulation Crossing Realm, allowing his law article validity period to contend with Tribulation Transcendence law articles.
• Zhang Yu sensed A-Zhen, Yu Xing Han, Le Mulan, and others connected to his Dao seeds, then realized that the Dao Seed Compendium might let him extend bloodline abilities through copied and distributed Dao seeds.

Zhang Yu seized the chance created by the scramble for Tan Taizhen’s scattered inheritances to gather bloodline information, then confronted Zhu Yan on Layer 16. After Zhu Yan raided inheritances and injured Ban Jinchen and Si Shi'an, Zhang Yu met his attack with overwhelming Tribulation Crossing-level strength and took hold of Zhu Yan’s head.

• The Sect Examination Clone celebrated the possibility of spreading Dao Seeds, while Zhang Yu absorbed more bloodline information and realized reaching the next level of the [Creation Emperor Seed] would require vastly more data.
• Zhang Yu sent clones to collect Tai Zhen inheritances on Layer 16, but Zhu Yan destroyed one clone and seized its inheritance, prompting Zhang Yu to leave the Immortal Grotto-Heaven.
• Zhu Yan and She Yuzun raided inheritances for the Heaven Demon Sect, defeated Yang Kaitai and Gu Qingya, and severely injured Ban Jinchen and Si Shi'an.
• Yu Xinghan warned Zhang Yu about Zhu Yan after seeing the raid livestream, then watched as Zhang Yu appeared before Zhu Yan.
• Zhu Yan attacked Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu unleashed Tribulation Crossing-level strength and fought him in a prolonged physical clash.
• Zhang Yu smashed aside Zhu Yan’s guard and grabbed his head.

Zhang Yu defeated Zhu Yan without leaving the Refining Void Realm, took control of the Myriad Laws Sect’s Tai Zhen Legacy collection, and helped restore order after Kunxu’s wider conflict. Two months later, after freezing seventeen Law Articles, he learned he would be promoted and receive a Tribulation Transcendence Certificate, while Su Xianchen raised the matter of the bestowed book.

• Zhang Yu overpowered Zhu Yan in direct combat and made him surrender, while Orthodox Gods confirmed Zhang Yu had not broken through from the Refining Void Realm.
• Zhu Yan handed over the Tai Zhen Legacy he had collected, and Zhang Yu took charge of its inventory and collection across the Myriad Laws Sect’s territory.
• Zhang Yu enforced livestreamed accounting and strict oversight of the seized legacy while secretly absorbing its bloodline information and arranging for Old Gao to inspect cave residences.
• Conflict across Kunxu abruptly ended, trade and services resumed, and authorities approved Zhang Yu’s handling of the legacy and ruled his use of its Immortal Dao achievements legal.
• Two months later, Zhang Yu completed the freeze of seventeen Law Articles, and Su Xianchen told him he would be promoted, receive a Tribulation Transcendence Certificate, and get two Lawmaking Training recommendations before raising the matter of the bestowed book.

Su Xianchen offered Zhang Yu a choice among three bestowed books, including taking Fa Liuyuan’s Feather Scroll, while Zhang Yu grew wary of the forces steering his rise. After Tai Yuebai supported taking the scroll, Zhang Yu arranged a promotion and legislative opportunity for Yu Xinghan, then received a message from Fa Liuyuan asking to talk.

• Su Xianchen offered Zhang Yu a low-grade book, a chance to compete for a mid-grade book, or the Feather Scroll held by Fa Liuyuan, and told him to decide within a month.
• Zhang Yu received a new Hundred-Billion Flying Sword and wondered whether the Wanfa Immortal Emperor was deliberately guiding his advancement.
• Kuang Tianqing told Zhang Yu that the Reincarnation Group wanted him to choose the Feather Scroll and offered him ten Evil Gods, while the Giant Corpse said taking it could aid Zhang Yu’s future ascension.
• Tai Yuebai supported Zhang Yu taking Fa Liuyuan’s Feather Scroll, arguing that the Reformists could no longer accomplish great things and that the approaching apocalypse left no time to wait.
• Zhang Yu told Yu Xinghan that his Refining Void application would soon be approved and offered him one of next year’s Third-Generation Law Article legislative slots.
• Fa Liuyuan sent Zhang Yu a message asking to talk.

Zhang Yu borrowed Fa Liuyuan’s Feather Scroll and discovered that his own scroll could absorb it, but Fa Liuyuan would only lend his volume after the Ascension Selection in twenty years. Zhang Yu then demanded all three Feather Scroll options from Su Xianchen, and the request was approved as he received two lower-grade books to test his scroll’s limits.

• Zhang Yu asked Fa Liuyuan to let him inspect the Feather Scroll, and his own scroll tried to absorb Fa Liuyuan’s volume before Fa Liuyuan recalled it.
• Fa Liuyuan offered to lend Zhang Yu the Feather Scroll twenty years later, after the Ascension Selection, and Zhang Yu could not offer enough compensation to change his mind.
• Immortal Roujia and Immortal Yixuan urged Fa Liuyuan to stall Zhang Yu’s request, and Roujia suggested that Zhang Yu’s coming tribulation might resolve the problem.
• Wan Yuanjun visited Zhang Yu, but Bu Yingshu claimed Zhang Yu was hers and entered his Immortal Grotto-Heaven to ask about his Feather Scroll choice.
• Zhang Yu told Su Xianchen that he wanted the lower-, middle-, and upper-grade options, and the request was approved.
• Zhang Yu received a Fist Manual and a Breath Circulation Manual and prepared to test whether his Feather Scroll could absorb them.
