Chapter Summaries

Ling Xiao abandoned the Primal Creation Plate and the Epoch Treasure Vault, deciding to let Chen Yi inherit them rather than risk losing his ancient epoch Dao resonance. His departure left Chen Yi exposed to Wuji, and Chen Yi attacked Wuji's Dharma Body as the chapter ended.

• Ling Xiao feared Chen Yi more than Wuji and decided to abandon the Primal Creation Plate and give the Epoch Treasure Vault to Chen Yi.

• Chen Yi realized Ling Xiao had manipulated events and left him to face Wuji alone.
• Chen Yi accelerated and brought his dark halberd down on Wuji's Dharma Body.

Chen Yi confronted Wuji’s Dharma Body in the Void Domain and was initially trapped by its overwhelming power. He then used his six-star clone to summon a crude imitation of a Will Dharma Form, which shattered Wuji’s prison and blasted him away.

• Wuji realized Chen Yi had followed him through the River of Time and suspected Ling Xiao had entrusted him with the Epoch Treasure Vault.

• Wuji’s Dharma Body suppressed Chen Yi’s six-star clone, demonstrating the vast difference between an Immortal Emperor and ordinary Dao Ancestors.
• Chen Yi burned his clone’s origin power and condensed a purple Will Dharma Form based on his true body.
• The purple form shattered Wuji’s golden prison and blasted his Dharma Body into a vortex of void energy, leaving Wuji stunned by its unusual nature.

• Wuji decided to withdraw rather than risk losing his Dharma Body and origin Dao mark.
• Chen Yi tried deterrence, control, suppression, and provocation to stop Wuji, but Wuji escaped along the Great Dao.

Wuji watched Ling Xiao taunt him through the Heaven-Gazing Mirror, then summoned three trusted officials to arrange a secret mission to the lower realm. Their argument over a possible mole left Wuji confident that he could entrust the operation to them.

Chen Yi discovered that Ling Xiao had transferred most of the Epoch Treasury to hidden chat group members before handing over the Creation Disk, and he vowed to stop Ling Xiao from profiting from the conflict. After three days of cleansing the largest Primordial Creation Disk fragment, Chen Yi summoned Zhao Huazhen and revealed that he intended to make him whole again.

• Chen Yi found that Ling Xiao had transferred sixty-two percent of the Epoch Treasury to group members outside Group 4 and removed their anchors and information.
• Chen Yi resolved to track down Ling Xiao and prevent him from waiting until Chen Yi and Wuji had weakened each other.
• After three days of inspecting and purifying the Primordial Creation Disk fragment, Chen Yi returned it to the Ziwei Immortal Realm.
• Chen Yi summoned Zhao Huazhen, who insisted he would stay in the Immortal Court and continue serving the people despite his demanding work.
• Chen Yi told Zhao Huazhen he would make him whole again, then revealed the polished Creation Plate fragment.

Chen Yi returned Ling Xiao’s worn Creation Plate fragments to Little Golden Dragon, who reassembled his Primal Creation Plate and pledged himself to Chen Yi. Chen Yi then tasked him with striking at Ling Xiao’s accumulated epoch Dao charm, and the chapter ended with an author’s note about the writer’s health and update delays.

• Chen Yi gave Little Golden Dragon the fragments he had recovered from Ling Xiao and asked whether they could be repaired.
• Little Golden Dragon summoned his remaining fragments and reunited them into the Primal Creation Plate, whose surface still bore three cracks.
• Overcome with relief, Little Golden Dragon thanked Chen Yi and promised to follow his orders.
• Chen Yi assigned Little Golden Dragon the task of attacking Ling Xiao’s epoch Dao charm through the Dao of Primordial Creation.
• The author noted that another health episode had disrupted their ability to keep up normal updates.

Little Golden Dragon asked Chen Yi for restraints and protection before planning to destroy Ling Xiao, then learned from Senior Cui Changsheng that the Wuji Heavenly Court had secretly sent a team to the lower realms. Chen Yi assigned him to prepare a surveillance plan while turning his attention to Fang Fan, whose Dao lesson he intended to interrupt for other tasks.

• Little Golden Dragon asked Chen Yi to let a Dao Ancestor-level clone protect him and willingly put restraints on him as he prepared to deal with Ling Xiao.
• Chen Yi placed three chains of Rainbow Beads on Little Golden Dragon, who acknowledged his current role as Zhao Huazhen and addressed Chen Yi as Master.
• Senior Cui Changsheng used the Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet to report a secret Wuji Heavenly Court team led by Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao, and warned Chen Yi about Yi Tian.
• Little Golden Dragon identified the risks and asked to use the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring to monitor the myriad realms while preparing to destroy Ling Xiao.
• Chen Yi approved Little Golden Dragon's plan, then watched Hu Fangyuan teach Fang Fan and decided to interrupt the lesson so Fang Fan could handle other tasks.

Hu Fangyuan taught Fang Fan the Dao, bringing him close to a breakthrough before Chen Yi interrupted the lesson and recruited him for a dangerous mission. After Hu Fangyuan empowered Fang Fan to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, Chen Yi gave him command of a new unit tasked with investigating Wuji's secret squad.

• Hu Fangyuan's Dao teachings strengthened Fang Fan's foundation and brought him close to breaking through.
• Chen Yi appeared and disrupted the lecture, then offered Fang Fan a new training opportunity.
• Chen Yi told Hu Fangyuan that Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao led a secret Wuji Heavenly Court squad and were God Realm remnants.
• Hu Fangyuan empowered Fang Fan, raising him to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
• Chen Yi gave Fang Fan command of the Special Operations Department and ordered him to investigate Wuji's squad and replace its members if necessary.

After reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm, Fang Fan formed the Special Operations Department to secretly track the Immortal Realm squad and, when necessary, replace its members. He selected three specialists and set their covert mission in motion, leaving them facing a dangerous task backed by the Venerable One.

• Fang Fan considered the Venerable One’s order and searched discarded records for barren worlds that could conceal the Immortal Realm squad’s routes.
• Fang Fan used the records and the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring to identify a hidden route connecting three forgotten worlds.
• Fang Fan recruited Mo Ban, Shadow Seven, and Qian Duoduo for the new Special Operations Department.
• Fang Fan told the three that they would spy on the Immortal Realm agents and replace them when necessary.

Fang Fan’s team planted a concealed array in the Withered Bone Realm to detect the Immortal Realm warship, but the warship’s unexpected search led the team to suspect their plans had been discovered. Fang Fan confirmed that a traitor was indeed among the Immortal Realm forces.

• The Special Operations Department piloted a concealed ring-shaped UFO into the Withered Bone Realm, where Mo Ban used the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring to plant an invisible array across the realm’s earth veins.
• Mo Ban told Fang Fan that the Immeasurable Twin Array Disk would detect the Immortal Realm people without revealing the array, and Fang Fan’s team headed toward its next target.
• Liu Xiaoyao sensed that someone was watching the Immortal Realm warship, so Chen Ye activated its detection array and searched the abandoned realm.
• The warship found nothing and continued toward the Burial Immortal Ruins, while Fang Fan’s team reviewed the array’s recording and wondered why the crew had searched.
• Shadow Seven found evidence that an invisible energy fluctuation had exposed the warship’s arrival, and Fang Fan admitted that a traitor was among its forces.

Chen Yi intervened when the Flying Star Heavenly Dao tried to burn the continent’s world origin to make its unfinished evolutionary system real. After the Heavenly Dao raved that it could no longer distinguish truth from falsehood, Chen Yi slapped its chaotic origin back to normal.

• Chen Yi kept watch for Wuji’s escaped origin Dharma body while leaving Fang Fan to handle the Immortal Realm squad.
• Chen Yi sensed that the Flying Star Heavenly Dao was about to burn the Flying Star Continent’s world origin to manifest its alternative evolutionary system.
• Chen Yi used the three Chaos Colorful Beads to freeze the world and cut off the Heavenly Dao’s power.
• The Flying Star Heavenly Dao raved that it could not tell what was real or false and insisted it was not mad.
• Chen Yi slapped the Flying Star Heavenly Dao’s chaotic origin of its heavenly heart back to normal.

Chen Yi helped Flying Star Heavenly Dao recover from a breakdown caused by its many competing evolutionary-path deductions. Flying Star Cat then presented its first of nine theoretically viable paths, leaving Chen Yi to examine the system and hear about the next one.

• Chen Yi and Flying Star Heavenly Dao linked Flying Star and Ziwei's fates by replicating the Heavenly Dao driving core, but Flying Star's attempt to calculate an evolutionary path in real time drove it into madness.
• Chen Yi used Dao sounds to stabilize Flying Star Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Heart Origin, which took the form of a red cat and apologized to him.
• Flying Star Cat explained that it had deduced nine viable evolutionary paths, thirty-six more with minor flaws, and three still in progress, leaving it unable to choose among them.
• Flying Star Cat showed Chen Yi the Entropy Spirit Inverse Transformation System, a path that sought immortality by using local entropy reduction to reverse-ascend in life level.
• Flying Star Cat described the first path's high potential and severe entry requirements, then began presenting its second evolutionary path.

The Flying Star Cat asked Chen Yi to test its unconventional evolutionary systems, and he agreed to descend into the mortal world to examine them. At Sacred Void Peak, a young man named Chen Hao unexpectedly saw Chen Yi and offered him air-fried jade mud.

• The Flying Star Cat described its Emotional Weaving Network System and listed other paths it had devised, lamenting that its world could support only one.
• Chen Yi told the Flying Star Cat that only it could advance its unconventional cultivation paths, but it asked him to test and refine them against the orthodox Great Dao.
• Chen Yi agreed to enter the mortal world and bring forth transcendent power to test the paths.
• Chen Yi descended to Sacred Void Peak in the Age of Dharma's End, where the old cultivation sanctuary had become a tourist attraction.
• Chen Hao approached Chen Yi with air-fried jade mud and surprised him by being able to see him.
• Chen Hao introduced himself and said he felt unusually close to Chen Yi, then offered him the jade mud.

Chen Yi recognized Chen Hao as a mutated oddity who survived by eating mud and offered to take him as his disciple to help test alternative evolution systems. Chen Hao accepted eagerly, and Chen Yi gave him Earth essence to eat, leaving him astonished by its strength and flavor.

• Chen Yi realized Chen Hao's collapsed genes and cancerous body had left him immortal but unable to digest ordinary food.
• Chen Yi erased the filthy mud cake Chen Hao was about to eat and offered to teach him cultivation.
• Chen Hao recognized Chen Yi as a cultivator and immediately prostrated himself to ask to become his disciple.
• Chen Hao's hunger overwhelmed him, so Chen Yi tossed him a piece of Earth essence.
• Chen Hao devoured the Earth essence and felt powerful energy growing inside him.

After devouring Earth Essence Concentrate, Chen Hao became a powerful aberration, and Chen Yi brought him to the Sacred Void Sect’s former sacred land to continue feeding and training him. Chen Yi forced the unconscious Chen Hao to begin learning the Ecological Vesicle technique, leaving him facing a grueling education.

• Chen Hao devoured the Earth Essence Concentrate and gained enough strength to threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators.
• Chen Yi took Chen Hao to the Sacred Void Sect’s former sacred land, where spiritual soil could serve as less potent food.
• Chen Yi offered to teach Chen Hao the Ecological Vesicle technique, and Chen Hao objected when he learned it would make him hungrier.
• Chen Yi poured the technique’s enormous body of knowledge into Chen Hao’s mind, causing him to faint.
• Chen Yi continued the lesson through Chen Hao’s primordial spirit while he was unconscious.

Fang Fan met with Hu Fangyuan, Chen Ye, and Liu Xiaoyao to coordinate an infiltration mission targeting an Immortal Realm force. As Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao prepared to leave, Fang Fan asked about Crimson Heaven, and both men reacted with a violent shudder.

• Hu Fangyuan arranged a meeting between Fang Fan and the two Immortal Realm representatives, Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao, who revealed their close and hostile history with him.
• Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao formally greeted Fang Fan as the Ziwei Realm’s Literary God of Wealth and disclosed that they held high positions in the Immortal Realm while serving the God Realm.
• Chen Ye explained that the mission would use a vanguard of 108 people to fill in variables and that he would contact Fang Fan when action was required.
• Fang Fan stopped Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao as they withdrew and asked whether they had heard of Crimson Heaven in the Immortal Realm.
• Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao both shuddered violently at the mention of Crimson Heaven.

Fang Fan confirmed that Cui Changsheng had passed along information about Crimson Heaven, a supposedly erased Immortal Emperor whose existence Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao had uncovered through a destroyed unofficial history. Chen Ye concluded Cui Changsheng may have encountered Crimson Heaven while condensing Dao marks and warned Fang Fan to tell his Exalted One that Cui Changsheng was in danger.

• Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao questioned Fang Fan about how his Exalted One learned of Crimson Heaven, and Fang Fan said Cui Changsheng had provided the information.
• Chen Ye recalled that he and Liu Xiaoyao had never told Cui Changsheng about Crimson Heaven and wondered how he had discovered the secret.
• Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoyao had found evidence in a destroyed unofficial history that Crimson Heaven had truly been an Immortal Emperor who created the Golden Scale Heavenly Court.
• Chen Ye reasoned that Cui Changsheng may have encountered Crimson Heaven while condensing his Origin Dao Marks and could not withstand the ancient Immortal Emperor.
• Chen Ye urged Fang Fan to return and warn his Exalted One that Cui Changsheng was in trouble.

Cui Changsheng resisted Crimson Heaven in a lost stretch of ancient history while waiting for help. On Flying Star Continent, Chen Yi pushed Chen Hao through harsh training in alternative cultivation systems, then abruptly left him to practice alone.

• Crimson Heaven pressured Cui Changsheng to sacrifice himself in exchange for protection for Ziwei's descendants, but Cui Changsheng continued resisting and waited for reinforcements.
• Chen Hao's body autonomously cultivated the Dao of the Ecosystem Bubble, using his cells to absorb and integrate other life forms.
• Chen Yi explained that Chen Hao's unusual body made him a suitable test subject for the Flying Star Heavenly Dao's alternative evolution systems.
• Chen Yi tormented Chen Hao's primordial spirit while teaching him the Dao of the Ecosystem Bubble and the Entropy Spirit Inverse Transformation System.
• Chen Yi suddenly stopped the training and left Chen Hao to combine the two systems, leaving Chaos Colorful Beads around his neck to shield him from orthodox Dao's pressure.
• Chen Hao awoke, realized Chen Yi had left without giving him a training standard, and complained that his Master was forcing him to train himself to death.

Chen Yi worried that Cui Changsheng might be trapped by the former Immortal Emperor Yi Tian, but he lacked the Chaos Colorful Beads to send a powerful clone. He reenacted his past encounter with Tribulation Transcendence to gather enough resources and prepared to help Cui Changsheng.

• Chen Yi learned from Fang Fan's report that Yi Tian had been a short-lived Immortal Emperor and might have trapped Cui Changsheng, but Cui Changsheng did not respond through the Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet.
• Chen Yi found that his remaining eighteen Chaos Colorful Beads were insufficient to create a clone strong enough to confront Yi Tian, so he traveled back through the River of Time to meet Tribulation Transcendence in his past.
• Chen Yi fought Tribulation Transcendence again and led it to Ziwei Continent, where Ziwei Heavenly Dao and the inhabitants received its lightning as disaster-relief rations.
• Chen Yi withdrew from ancient history, gathered the resulting karma himself, and confirmed that the River of Time remained stable.
• Chen Yi calculated that Tribulation Transcendence had provided enough resources to refine at least five hundred basic one-star Chaos clones, then resolved to help Cui Changsheng.
