Chapter Summaries

Fang Fan rejected the chance to restore his body and instead entered a war-torn world to save its people. The Heavenly Scale Heart Abyss punished him by severing his right arm, leaving him with fifty points as he resolved to save one more person.

• Fang Fan refused to sacrifice innocents for the trial and faced a second choice between restoring his body and helping a world attacked by Outer Realm Demonic Gods.
• Fang Fan resisted the temptation to choose restoration, remembering the Finance Department’s vow to keep greed from corrupting his Dao foundation.
• Fang Fan entered the besieged continent, killed the attacking Outer Realm Demonic Gods, and saved a little girl with twin horn braids.
• Fang Fan gave the girl a Heaven-grade cultivation technique and a storage ring before the laws returned him to the Heavenly Scale Heart Abyss.
• The Heavenly Scale Heart Abyss deducted thirty points and severed Fang Fan’s right arm, but Fang Fan pressed onward with fifty points remaining.

At Five Elements Mountain, Chen Yi abducted more Primordial Soul Clan cultivators while the Five Great Ancient Clans agreed to mine together. Meanwhile, Fang Fan rejected both choices offered by the Heavenly Scale, destroyed the worlds on its trays, and fell into darkness as an unfamiliar voice addressed him.

• Chen Yi captured sixty Golden Immortals and one Taiyi Realm cultivator from the Primordial Soul Clan after completing tests on his earlier recruits.
• Feng Jinhuang protested that her clan was being targeted, while the Five Great Ancient Clans discussed and ultimately agreed to jointly mine and divide the resources.
• Chen Yi decided to let the clans mine for now and continued testing the newly abducted Primordial Soul Clan cultivators.
• Fang Fan said he would protect existing hope but would not create it, then severed the savior's path on the Heavenly Scale.
• The Heavenly Scale condemned Fang Fan, deducted fifty points, and plunged him into darkness before an ethereal voice asked whether he was angry.

Fang Fan cleared the Heavenly Scale Heart Abyss by realizing that every choice featuring the little girl had been correct, then entered the sixth trial on the Heart Dao Platform. There, nine mirror versions of him proved far stronger than he expected and trapped him against the ceiling.

• Fang Fan remembered that the little girl had appeared in all three choices, and his lost limbs and head were restored as he understood the trial’s trick.
• The little girl explained that the Heavenly Scale Heart Abyss made each choice real and charged challengers for its consequences, then urged Fang Fan to face the final trial.
• Fang Fan left an encrypted official document at the Heart Dao Platform’s instruction stele and stepped into the trial.
• Nine mirror images of Fang Fan emerged, and he assumed he could handle them because of his experience fighting copies of himself in the Illusionary Dream Secret Realm.
• One mirror image struck Fang Fan into the mirrored ceiling, leaving him trapped as he realized the copies’ attributes vastly surpassed his own.

Black Soil and He Chunqiu reached the Terminating Stone Tablet, where Black Soil searched for a way into the next trial while Chen Yi secretly examined captured Primordial Soul Clan members. Chen Yi violently refined the Taiyi expert Hun Lan to break through his defenses, risking his mind in the process.

• Black Soil and He Chunqiu reached the mountaintop and found that Chen Yi had blocked her from seeing Fang Fan's encrypted message on the Terminating Stone Tablet.
• Black Soil questioned Chen Yi about the missing message, then began searching the tablet for the way to the next trial while he claimed he would hold back the Immortal Realm climbers.
• Chen Yi conducted examinations on the captured Primordial Soul Clan members and focused on Hun Lan, whose faith-powered defenses protected his Primordial Spirit.
• Hun Lan resisted Chen Yi and tried to negotiate, but Chen Yi used forty-nine Chaos Colorful Beads to crush his defenses and forcibly refine him.
• Hun Lan screamed and cursed as Chen Yi refined him, while Chen Yi hoped the experiment would preserve Hun Lan's value as a Taiyi talent.

Chen Yi learned that forging Five Elements Life Money was the requirement for entering the third stage and worried about how Xiao Fang was faring. Meanwhile, Xiao Fang struggled against mirror images, while the Wushi Mirror’s artifact spirit secretly worked to make Hu Fangyuan the Chaos Supreme Treasure’s preferred choice.

• Chen Yi subdued Hun Lan, cutting away his life root, then knocked him unconscious after Hun Lan realized he might have angered him.
• Black Soil explained that entering the third stage required forging Five Elements Life Money from five elemental materials within the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Chen Yi marveled that Xiao Fang had completed the difficult earlier task and resolved to advance quickly and catch up with him.
• Xiao Fang spent twenty-four hours being beaten by mirror images while continuing to fight with reckless, disorganized moves.
• The little girl with twin horn braids watched Xiao Fang and wondered whether she could trust him, fearing he might betray her like the person who had betrayed Senior Creation Plate.
• The Wushi Mirror’s artifact spirit secretly coached Hu Fangyuan to avoid the Chaos Supreme Treasure’s sore points so it would prefer her over Chen Yi.

Chen Yi passed the third-stage entrance, confirmed the Spirit Sealing Seal still worked, and prepared an ambush for the Immortal Realm cultivators. Meanwhile, Wuji sent Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian to confront the Ziwei Immortal Court while secretly tracking them.

• Chen Yi forged Five Elements Life Money and entered the third stage, leaving Black Soil without toll money while secretly watching him with concealed Chaos Colorful Beads.
• Chen Yi confirmed that the Spirit Sealing Seal remained effective in the third stage and set up an ambush, planning to hold back the Immortal Realm's main force and eliminate those who entered.
• Wuji watched the Five Elements Mountain Range through the Heaven-Gazing Mirror and summoned Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian, whose loyalties had recently passed an investigation.
• Wuji ordered Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian to deal with the Ziwei Immortal Court without destroying what should be preserved, then secretly attached strands of his will to them.

Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian pretended to support Wuji’s campaign, while Wuji trusted them and promised Aotian a marriage if they completed their mission. Meanwhile, Chen Yi used his avatar to help Black Soil pass the second trial, then left her in a deadly Chaos Torrent as he planned how to uncover Wuji’s hidden possessions.

• Zhang Aotian questioned whether the Zhang family truly had to attack their homeland, and Zhang Qian insisted they had no choice under Wuji’s decree.
• Wuji heard the Zhangs’ private conversation, promised Aotian a marriage to the Golden Scales Ancient Clan’s princess, and received their grateful bows.
• Chen Yi secretly used his power to finish Black Soil’s Five Elements Natal Coins, and she took them through the second trial’s barrier.
• Chen Yi shoved Black Soil into a lethal Chaos Torrent filled with scarlet flames and crashing islands, leaving her unable to use her magical power.
• Chen Yi reasoned that Wuji was likely hiding in one of five Great Luo and considered drawing them into one-on-one fights and seeking help from the Primordial Soul Clan’s Great Luo.

Chen Yi threatened Feng Jinhuang through remote voice transmission and directed the Primordial Soul Clan to race toward the mountaintop. The Five Great Ancient Clans followed suit, abandoning most of their clansmen behind as Chen Yi prepared to exploit their divided forces.

• Feng Jinhuang grieved the loss of nearly all her clansmen and feared facing her clan after losing her brother’s sole surviving bloodline.
• Chen Yi contacted Feng Jinhuang and promised not to attack again if she led her remaining clansmen toward the summit.
• Feng Jinhuang ordered her eight remaining Taiyi clansmen to travel light and advance at full speed.
• The Five Great Ancient Clans worried that the Primordial Soul Clan would reach the summit first and debated whether to pursue or block them.
• The Ruined Nether Clan Old Ancestor led the Taiyi clansmen onward and left the others behind, prompting the other four clans to follow the same strategy.
• Chen Yi watched the clans split up and prepared to take advantage of his tiger-luring stratagem.

Chen Yi lured the five Immortal Realm Grand Unity cultivators toward the mountaintop before Wuji possessed Yin Yang Daoist and confronted him. Chen Yi trapped Wuji with the Chaos Colorful Beads, then began breaking through the secret realm’s barrier to move their battle outside.

• The Five Great Ancient Clans left 998 Golden Immortals behind, who formed a human wall to face the Guardian Spirit.
• Chen Yi sent the forty-nine Chaos Colorful Beads after the Grand Unity and Taiyi cultivators, herding them toward the mountaintop as Wuji realized Chen Yi was luring them away.
• Wuji possessed Yin Yang Daoist and turned his strange light on the other four Grand Unity cultivators, while the beads knocked Feng Jinhuang out of its range and surrounded the rest.
• Wuji broke the beads’ encirclement by sacrificing Yin Yang Daoist’s body to form a Wuji Dharma Form, and Chen Yi taunted him.
• Wuji refined the Time Flow Dragon Clan’s Grand Unity cultivator, while Chen Yi burned the beads’ origins and attacked the secret realm’s spatial barrier to move the fight outside.

Chen Yi dragged Wuji, possessing the Yin Yang Daoist, and four and a half Grand Unity ancestors out of the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm, where Wuji could use his full power. Wuji borrowed Ling Xiao’s Law to fight back, but Little Golden Dragon and the Tianshu Mirror disrupted the Dharma Form, leaving Wuji facing Chen Yi and the four awakened ancestors.

• Chen Yi used the cracks from his clash with Wuji to drag Wuji and four and a half Grand Unity ancestors out of the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm.
• The four surviving ancestors awakened with their memories manipulated and attacked the Yin Yang Daoist, while Wuji realized a Chaos Supreme Treasure was altering their cognition.
• Wuji burned his origin and borrowed Ling Xiao’s power to suppress the four ancestors with a hazy azure Dharma Form.
• Little Golden Dragon borrowed Ling Xiao’s Law through the Primordial Creation Plate, and the Tianshu Mirror’s karma mist helped collapse Wuji’s Dharma Form.
• The four ancestors regained consciousness believing Wuji was possessed by a remnant of the Ling Xiao Heavenly Court, and Chen Yi’s five-star clone joined their attack.

Chen Yi’s Five-star clone escaped Wuji’s Supreme Domain by splitting into Chaos Colorful Beads, then ambushed him with a halberd. Wuji sacrificed the exhausted Yin Yang Daoist and the Time Flow Dragon Clan ancestor to sustain his power as Chen Yi’s attack caught up.

• Wuji used the Yin Yang Daoist’s burning origin to unleash the Supreme Domain and suppress Chen Yi’s Five-star clone.
• Chen Yi disintegrated into eighty-one Chaos Colorful Beads and used the Heaven-Concealing Robe to evade Wuji’s lock-on.
• Chen Yi reappeared and struck Wuji’s golden cauldron defense with his great halberd.
• Wuji burned the Yin Yang Daoist’s remaining origin and sent it to drain the suppressed Time Flow Dragon Clan ancestor.
• The Time Flow Dragon Clan ancestor recognized Wuji and offered his body, but Wuji burned his Dao source to maintain the Immortal Emperor Dharma Idol as Chen Yi’s halberd caught up.

Chen Yi used Little Golden Dragon to summon Ling Xiao’s Dharma Form, breaking Wuji’s defenses and freeing the captured Five-star clone. Wuji conceded and withdrew, while Ling Xiao praised Chen Yi before disappearing, leaving Chen Yi determined to deal with him next.

• Chen Yi tested his close-range attack against Wuji, but Wuji used his Immortal Emperor Dharma Form and the Myriad Wuji Cauldron to suppress him.
• Chen Yi activated the Time Alteration Disk to exchange out the Five-star clone trapped by Wuji, but Wuji’s golden cauldron blocked its rule power.
• Chen Yi raised Little Golden Dragon and called on Ling Xiao, whose azure Dharma Form smashed through Wuji’s defenses.
• The Time Alteration Disk replaced the trapped clone with a mountain of gorilla dung, which Wuji’s domain pulverized before Wuji erased the mess.
• Wuji admitted defeat and ignited his strand of will, while Ling Xiao praised Chen Yi and withdrew.
• Chen Yi complained about Ling Xiao’s stinginess and resolved to deal with him after Wuji.

After Wuji was removed, Chen Yi counted the Immortal Realm forces he had captured and prepared to absorb them into his ranks. In the Five Elements Mountain Range, Feng Jinhuang realized her clansmen were likely in danger, then watched Chen Yi return and lost her last hope.

• Chen Yi paid a heavy price to remove Wuji, but gained 1,138 Golden Immortals, ninety-six Taiyi Immortals, and several Grand Unity Immortals for his forces.
• Feng Jinhuang realized that Fang Fan was a challenger who had deceived her and feared that her clansmen had been captured.
• The eight remaining Taiyi clansmen of the Primordial Soul Clan urged Feng Jinhuang to attack the other ancient clans, but she ordered them to wait.
• Chen Yi reorganized his forces and sent another five-star clone through the first stage to the Five Elements Mountain Range.
• Feng Jinhuang saw the eighty-one Chaos Colorful Beads rise from the mountain's foot and lost her last hope.

Chen Yi ambushed Feng Jinhuang and the Primordial Soul Clan in the third stage, then discovered her close friendship with Chen Lingxiu. He purified Feng Jinhuang from the Immortal Realm’s Grand Unity sequence and forced her to join the Ziwei Immortal Realm, leaving her resentfully conceding.

• Chen Yi used the Chaos Colorful Beads to capture Golden Immortals while Feng Jinhuang led the Primordial Soul Clan through to the third stage.
• Chen Yi’s ambush crushed Feng Jinhuang’s Taiyi companions, and he revealed himself as Fang Fan after she accused him of breaking his promise.
• Feng Jinhuang showed Chen Yi a jade pendant bearing Chen Lingxiu’s Dao aura and asked whether Lingxiu was alive.
• Chen Yi confirmed Feng Jinhuang’s close bond with Chen Lingxiu and forcibly severed Feng Jinhuang’s connection to the Immortal Realm.
• Chen Yi invited Feng Jinhuang to join the Ziwei Immortal Realm, and she reluctantly conceded.

After devouring the captured Immortal Realm talents, Chen Yi entered the fourth stage and found a treasure-filled maze city that he wanted to take for Ziwei Immortal Realm. He prepared to summon stronger clones and left the outcome of the Chaos Supreme Treasure challenge to Xiao Fang, while considering seizing the city by force if necessary.

• Chen Yi gave Feng Jinhuang the Chaos Bead Necklace and left her to control the Chaos Furnace stage as he headed for the fourth stage.
• Chen Yi crossed into Myriad Treasures Maze City and saw its extraordinary treasures, estimating that its total value approached one-tenth of the Ling Xiao Treasury.
• Chen Yi decided to find a way to move the entire city and sent Chaos Colorful Beads to prepare two five-star clones.
• Chen Yi resolved to pursue both the Chaos Supreme Treasure and Myriad Treasures Maze City, trusting Xiao Fang to succeed but considering force if he failed.

Chen Yi sealed Myriad Treasures Maze City with Chaos Colorful Beads and cleared it, but found no message from Xiao Fang and concluded he had died inside. Enraged, Chen Yi gathered his avatars and began forcibly refining the maze, tearing through the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm’s barriers.

• Chen Yi planted eighty Chaos Colorful Beads in the maze’s Dragon Ridge Veins, disabling its mechanisms and preventing its treasures from escaping.
• Chen Yi leisurely cleared the maze, admired its treasures, and marked the Chaos Spiritual Root Creation Green Lotus for Ziwei Immortal Court.
• Chen Yi found no encrypted document from Xiao Fang on the Terminating Stone Tablet and believed Xiao Fang had perished in the maze.
• Chen Yi summoned a dark halberd and sent a wave of Chaos Colorful Beads racing through the second and third stages, startling Feng Jinhuang into behaving obediently.
• Chen Yi gathered 165 Chaos Colorful Beads in the maze and formed two five-star avatars that began forcibly refining it.
• The maze’s treasures tried to flee as Chen Yi’s halberd and formation shook the secret realm, cracking its space and then suppressing the incoming void energy.

Fang Fan overcame the final Mirror Space trial after the artifact spirit secretly weakened his mirror images, and received the Chaos Supreme Treasure, Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring. The artifact spirit chose him to escape its accompanying space, while Chen Yi’s threat to destroy the secret realm remained unresolved.

• Fang Fan endured three days of battles against nine enhanced mirror images, while Chen Yi mistakenly believed Xiao Fang had died and threatened to bury the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm.
• The artifact spirit realized Chen Yi’s strength was far greater than expected and debated whether she could trust Fang Fan.
• The twin-braided girl chose Fang Fan and faded from her accompanying space, weakening his mirror images.
• Fang Fan used his unpredictable, absurd moves to defeat the remaining mirror images and pass the final test.
• The artifact spirit congratulated Fang Fan, and a Chaos mark formed between his brows as he learned he had obtained the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring.

After the Chaos Supreme Treasure formed a contract with Fang Fan, it bestowed a profound gift on him while Chen Yi mistook the resulting phenomenon for a challenge and merged his Six-Star Clone. Chen Yi overwhelmed the secret realm, subdued its inhabitants, and broke into the fifth trial, where he spotted a familiar encrypted official document.

• The Chaos Supreme Treasure flooded Fang Fan with innate spiritual energy and Chaos-born laws, leaving him with the beginnings of a Dao Ancestor’s foundation.
• Chen Yi mistook the secret realm’s dazzling phenomenon for the Chaos Supreme Treasure challenging him and merged the Chaos Colorful Beads into his Six-Star Clone.
• Chen Yi’s power shook the secret realm and broke its foundational laws; he refined the Chaos Furnace and Five Elements Mountain Range, while Feng Jinhuang and Hun Lan gave up resisting.
• Chen Yi collected the furnace, mountain range, and Immortal Realm laborers, then drew Myriad Treasures Maze City into his sleeve.
• Chen Yi smashed the fourth trial’s Terminating Stone Tablet and pierced the barrier to the fifth trial, where he recognized a familiar encrypted official document.

Chen Yi realized Xiao Fang had survived and stood guard over the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm’s entrance while waiting for Wuji’s forces. Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian retreated after Wuji ordered them away, leaving Chen Yi to watch them flee in disguise.

• Chen Yi found Xiao Fang’s announcement at the fifth trial entrance and realized Xiao Fang had gained the Chaos Supreme Treasure’s recognition, then stood guard with his halberd.
• Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian decided to investigate the Supreme Treasure Secret Realm after failing to locate their homeland, but Wuji ordered them to withdraw.
• Zhang Qian and Zhang Aotian obeyed immediately, while Wuji worried that Chen Yi might kill them if they approached the secret realm.
• Chen Yi watched the grandfather and grandson sprint away from the shadows in his Heaven-Concealing Robe and remarked that they seemed sincere.

Chen Yi watched Zhang Aotian and Zhang Qian return to the Immortal Realm, where Wuji thoroughly washed and inspected them before assigning them new posts. In the Ziwei Immortal Court, Zhang Kuang lamented his lack of descendants and urged his father to have another child, but soon forgot his worries when work arrived.

• Chen Yi realized Zhang Aotian and Zhang Qian had been recalled from their visit to the lower realm and chose not to secretly give them local specialties.
• Wuji scrubbed Zhang Aotian and Zhang Qian in the Heavenly Pool, examined them, reshaped their immortal embryos, and transferred them to sixth-rank Archivist Official posts.
• Zhang Aotian and Zhang Qian complained about Zhang Kuang's devotion to a woman and resolved to find him several suitable Immortal Clan Goddesses so he could have many children.
• Zhang Kuang felt a sudden shiver while forging a spiritual treasure and wondered whether his father had met with misfortune in the Immortal Realm.
• Zhang Kuang mourned his failure to have children and asked his father to give him a younger brother, then ordered the craftsmen back to work after receiving high-level artifact orders from the Finance Department.
